Andre - " Systems are failing...it must have been that asteroid we hit! "

Loma - ( Kind of a shy voice ) " No doubt...right wing showing damage warning, seems we may have caugh a fire. "

Andre - " Great...we'll have to put out the fire and see what we can do from there... "

Loma - ( Still in a Shy voice, note: She speaks softly in a shy tone, she is inlove with Andre but Andre is unaware of it. She always speaks this way when talking to Andre. ) " I can go out there and put it out... "

Andre - " No, I can do it. Its my fault anyways. Wears Kyle anyways? "

Loma - " He is in his quarters meditating. "

Andre - ( Sarcastically ) " Hope I didn't disturb him...(Normal Voice) Okay, I guess I'll go out there now. "

Andre walked over to a small closet and pulled out a space uniform. It was of fit him well and he began to walk over to a airlock space, between the cockpit and the three tiny quarters, and checked his air system. After he was done checking on it, he retrieved the repair kit which had a small extinguisher, and he opened the airlock and stepped into space, mumbling something.

Andre - ( Mumbling ) " We HAD to lose that damn repair droid in a bet...*sighs*...oh well. This shouldn't be hard. "

Andre extinguished the ember, and looked at the damage.

Andre - " Damn...I can't even repair this...I guess we'll have to send out a distress signal...atleast we brough some supplies... "

Andre got back in, and put the kit back on its space, took off his helmet and walked into the cockpit. He put the suit back in the small closet, and looked at Loma with a deep sigh.

Loma - " What is it Andre? "

Andre - " Send out a distress signal, there is now ay we are going to get this repaired. "

Loma - " Got it..*sigh.. "

Loma - ( Thinking to her self as she activates the distress signal ) " [I] If only it was easier to tell him that I love him..damn it..I'm too much of a scaredy cat... "

As she set the distress signal on, Andre told her to get some rest and sat back down into his seat, awaiting a response.

Commander Johnas Kaye stood with his hands behind his back on the bridge of his Nebulon-B Frigate, the Blind Sight. The cruiser was on a routine patrol, or so it seemed. It had a mission that, if known to the majority of either side of the conflict, would immediately cause a massive outbreak of war throughout the galaxy.

But right now, Johnas pushed that out of his mind, they had just recieved a distrell signal, they couldn't identify who it was from, but they'd need to investigate it or risk seeming out of character.

"Commander? Orders?"

"Ensign, set coordinates for the distress signal. I want out weapons armed, however, and at least one squadron in the bay ready to launch."

"Setting coordinates sir...preparing to enter hyperspace."

He still couldn't believe himself, sometimes, how he had volunteered for this. A mission deep into Imperial territory, to drop one man off. One man who swore that he could change everything that was going on.

He didn't like it any more than any of the bueracrats did, but something had to be done, before the war broke out once more.

"Entering hyperspace, sir."

As stars turned to white streaks, he let his mind wander again...

Lazarus Mayal was resting in his quarters on his new ship, The Atrum Vis,when a message came in. "Captain Mayal, please report to the bridge."

Lazarus sighed and got up. Very well." He went to the bridge. "What is the situation Lornal?"

Lornal replied, "Well Master, we've received a distress signal from a ship. We've tracked down its location."

"We should see who it is. Activate the Fold Engines."

"Yes Master." The engines activated and the stars darkened around them. Then everything changed back to normal and they could see a ship floating in front of them.
"Transmit message:
Attention unknown ship. This is the Atrum Vis of the Galactic Empire. We have received your distress signal and are here to help you. Please state your condition."

OOC: Wow...everyone is going to use big ships right away..I am using a small transport 0o

IC:

Andre was about to doze off in the seat when finally his radar acted up and there was a voice on the intercom.

Andre - " Yes uhh, this is Andre of the..crappy little transport shuttle. Uhh..as for our condition..not too good..unable to budge this piece of junk, and were kind of in need of a pick up. Repairs would be lovely too. "

As he finished talking, he looked at the radar and notice another large ship approaching.

OOC: I never understood this but...our nations are planets, and we RP three characters from our planet..and so we can go out on missions of our planet/faction, and la la la...atleast I guess we can do that heh...

Posting tommorow.

Kyle had finished with his meditation and felt something was wrong. He walked the short distance to the cockpit and just stood there as Andre fiddled around with his fingers, thumping them against his temple. And then Kyle finally began speaking.

Kyle - " What seems to be the problem? "

Andre - ( Taking a shallow breath and rolling his eyes at the control pannel ) " Well...we hit a small asteroid, well the wing did, and all of the electronical componets are busted, so we can't even move with out twirlling around and around and around, we can't even turn. So I've called for help, we've got one reply, but another large ship has appeared. I don't know whats going to happen. "

Kyle didn't reply, and Andre knew Kyle well enough that this was going to be there only conversation for the night. Kyle began to think a bit, then returned to his quarters.

OOC: My ship's medium. My nation believes that plenty of small and medium ships beat several large ships every time.

IC: "Andre.... Andre is from Psychotika who is in turn a member of the GE. Correct Lornal?"

Lornal opened a new screen bringing up a short profile on Andre. "Correct Master."

"Send Transmission:
We will be happy to pick up your ship and crew and send several droids onboard to repair your ship. First, state your mission and purpose. Also, where would you like to be taken to?"

Andre finished yawning, and began his reply.

Andre - " Well...We were going no where actually...we would enjoy being dropped off at Pyschotika though.. "

Andre sighed, the truth was, they had no purpose. They were given a break, and they blew it all up by losing a prized droid, and getting hit by an asteroid. This would be quite the embaressment back home..

Johnas cursed under his breath at seeing another ship already there, they couldn't afford to tangle with Imperial patrols right now, they might be tagged, or worse, they could find out what their cargo was.

"Damaged vessal, this is the Blind Sight of the Freespace Alliance. Are you in need of assistance?"

"Sir, we're starting to get readings on the other vessal, but we can't tell if its Imperial yet or not, sir."

"Alright, tell Master Huron to keep quiet in his quarters."

A com signal patched through to his command chair.

"I am being quite quiet down here, commander. What is the situation?"

"We're not sure yet, well, we followed a beacon to a damaged vessal, but another showed up. If its Imperial, we'll be risking a lot, but leaving now would look suspicious, so we're going to have to hold tight..."

"Of course, commander. You will keep me informed?"

"Will do. Johnas out."

He murmered under his breath about Jedi and their attitude sometimes, but looked around as his bridge crew, bewildered, looked back at him.

He roared.

"Get back to work on those scanners!"

Kyle Rosh'ja sat meditating, and felt another force nearby. He meditated more, and tried to grab a trace on that force he felt. Though only an apprentice, he had learned much under his master. Kyle felt verry disturbed, and he rushed out of the tiny quarters and into the cockpit and began speaking to Andre.

Kyle - " Andre... "

Kyle passed out while he tried to tell Andre what he had felt. Andre rushed over to Kyle's unconcious self and yelled for Loma to come in.

Andre - " LOMA!!! KYLE NEEDS HELP! HE'S PASSED OUT I THINK! "

Loma rushed in and crouched by Kyle's side as Andre walked over the controls, and began speaking in a open channel so both ships could hear him.

Andre - " Were in need of medical assistance, one of the..err..crew has passed out, he seems to be sweating excessivly. I don't care who picks us up, just hurry please! "

OOC: Time to enter the RP!

IC:
A small gunship bearing the unlikely name of Nothing to Worry About cruised through space in the system of interest. Inside the ship, three young people slept while the flight was taken over by the autopilot. Thus, it was the computer on the flight that picked up the message and relayed it to the crew quarters.

"Alert! Alert! Distress signal detected!" The computer cried out (huh, odd choice of words), the words booming in the crews' ears.

"Huh?" One of the crew appeared to awaken first. This one is a thirteen-year-old boy with blue (yes, blue!) hair and a thin frame. But don't think likely of him, for he's Christopher Mackson, junior sharpshooter extraordinaire!

"Alert! Alert! Distress signal detected!" The autopilot screamed again.

"What?" The second alert woke up the kid fully, and he rushed to the cockpit and tapped the button that allowed the distress signal to be heard.

Andre - " Were in need of medical assistance, one of the..err..crew has passed out, he seems to be sweating excessivly. I don't care who picks us up, just hurry please! "

"Oh boy. Looks like today's going to be interesting!" Chris smiled and ran back to the other crew members. "Guys! GUYS!"

"What is it?" A second crew member asked, rubbing sleep-sand from his eyes. He's the second oldest of the three crew members, about age sixteen or so, but looking ten due to a bad experiment, or so he said. This brown haired kid is Konohamaru Sarutobi, the greatest ninja ever! (Ego trip)

"We got a distress signal from a ship in the area."

"Oh? Ok!" Konohamaru then shook the third crewmember awake. "Hey, Jake! JAKE! We got trouble!"

"Wha--? I'm up, I'm up." Yo. Jake here. I'm the oldest kid aboard this little ship, and the one with the longest braided ponytail you've ever seen! Thought it'd be good to change that style, and believe me, I look good! Anyway, let's see what the problem is.

"Jake, we just recieved a distress signal from a ship not too far from here. Sounds like a medical problem." Chris reported the problem to me.

"Alright. Konohamaru, set up the medical bay. I'm going forward." I ordered, pulling on my favorite black shirt and rolling up the sleeves.

"Right, Boss!" The kid went to set up the small bay and activate the 2-1-B droid. The driod was a loan from the military so that we can heal up if sickened or injured.

I went forward to the cockpit and then activated the comlink as I went to manual to take the corvette to the other ship. "Distressed vessal, this is Nothing to Worry About. We have recieved your distress signal and are now arriving at your position. What's the nature of the emergency?"

OOC: BTW, Kyle Rosh'ja ( the man who is passed out ) is a Sith Apprentice and I am saying he was knocked out by the anxiety and the pressure of the force from the Jedi on Laskon's ship. And Andre is supposed to keep him safe and his identity secret, so thats why he was like " A..err...crew member ".

Thought I'd say.

BTW, NARUTO RULES!!

IC:

Andre was confused. There was three ships now, one sempt too mysterious, the other sempt to be Imperial, and the third one was...way too optimistic in Andre's opinion.

Andre - " Well...we can't budge our shuttle. So who ever can fit us onboard will do...we need medical assistance and repairs. "

Loma was feeling Kyle's pulse, it was slowing down..as if he was drifting away.

Loma " ANDRE, HIS PULSE..ITS..ITS STOPPING!! "

Andre - " Damn it! Somebody please hurry up! Something is definitly messed up..his pulse is slowing down, his body temperature rising...somebody please just hurry! "

The small shuttle was bustling with anxiety and fright and worry, and Andre was getting impatient.

"Sir, we've got a definite reading, its an Ageaolan Imperial vessal."

"Damn it all...make sure we keep our weapons cool, but armed. We don't need an incident."

After recieving the message from the damaged ship, he commed their signal.

"We'll send over medical personal ASAP. Open up a docking clamp, we'll send over a shuttle."

Soon, a small medical shuttle, generally used for picking up EV pilots, was making its way towards the vessal, in it, three medics and the pilot, none of them armed.

Inside the frigate, Jedi Master Andre Huron sensed the apprehension and sudden confusion causing the force user inside the damaged vessal so much pain. The user was obviously intimidated by his presense, so he immediately drew the force around him, instead of extending it out. Before he pulled back, he could feel the strength returning to the young man.

Very interesting...I will have to see how he reacts.

OOC: BTW, Kyle Rosh'ja ( the man who is passed out ) is a Sith Apprentice and I am saying he was knocked out by the anxiety and the pressure of the force from the Jedi on Laskon's ship.

OOC: I even have the jutsus in my arsenal of attacks and Team 7! (Although Team 7 is elsewhere.)

IC:
"Huh. Looks like there's another ship helping out." Chris said.

"Yeah, I see it. Konohamaru?" I asked.

"It's uh..." The kid scanned it. "It's a Laskonian Nebulon-B frigate."

"Friendly?"

"As far as I know, yeah."

"Alright." I breathed in and out, reaching out into the Force...

OOC: Damn... I go away for several hours and a whole group of ships arrive... btw it's AGEAOL not AGEAOLAN.

IC: "Umm.. Master, several more ships have arrived." Lornal was stating the obvious.

"Just send a shuttle aboard the Pyschotika ship with med team and repair droids. Get the ship on a tractor lock and retreat. There are Jedi scum on those ships. Members of the Freespace Alliance."

Lornal's eyes widened. He had been in battles before but never had a chance to fight Jedi. Part of him was disappointed that they would have no chance to fight. "Yes Master. Shuttle has departed. Ship is under lock and is being towed.

"Send transmission:
Crew of the Pyschotika shuttle(OOC:what's its name?). You are under tractor lock and we will take you to the closest Pyschotika base. We have also sent a shuttle aboard with a Med team and repair droids."

Andre was filled with anxiety, but happy that he would be recieving help finally. He felt a cold feeling comming around him, as if it was living. He noticed that Loma wasn't responding to the feeling, which struck Andre odd.

Once the Ageaol medical shuttle arrived, he prepped the door and docking clamp. He decided he would have to go with the Ageaol guys since they kind of beat the Laskon shuttle to Andre and co. When the medical crew was on board, they began checking Kyle's pulse and doing whatnot with him. They had a defilibrator, and before they could get it on Kyle's chest, something wierd happened..and Andre felt it before it happened.

Kyle had suddenly awakened, eyes completely diahlated(sp?) and taking heavy breaths. He suddenly raised his arm twards the first person he saw and began closing his fist. It was Loma, she was about an inch off the ground...choking? Yes, she was choking..Andre felt some wierd urge flowing through him. Suddenly what felt like a breeze swept by, and it all stopped, Kyle back in his unconcousness, and Loma gasping for air. It was over as soon as it happened, and Andre shifted his eyes out of the cockpit glass twards the Laskon Frigate, it was as if the cold feeling was going back twards there.

OOC: DUN DUN DUN!!! ANDRE IS SENSITIVE!!!

This'll be interesting.

OOC: The Isafron

In the Force, I could see that there were a couple of Dark presences. The one on the Neb-B was definitely a Light-side presence. But there was two on the stricken ship, one possibly dark. I could sense an increase in Force energy in there, and reached out to investigate...

IC: Now is the time to attack. This is the moment of weakness. When they would be off balance and that ship could be destroyed. But which was it… Best to wait a little longer to find the mark… And so, Plagrot waited, hidden by some asteroids in the nearby area. Soon pestlins would have their quarry…

OOC:
I do believe *I* arrived here first, Ageaol, but sorry 'bout the name thing. :p


IC:

Though Andre was doing his best to hide his presense, he couldn't help but keep sensing the probing minds of other force users in the other ships, finally, he used his personal comlink to contact the bridge.

"Commander?"

"Yeah, Andre? We're kind of busy up here...damn imps..."

"Commander, there are force users on the other ships."

"All of them?"

"As far as I can see, Johnas."

"They've detected you, have they?"

"If I can sense them, they can sense me, you know that."

Johnas had mimicked Andre's comment to himself while he said it over the com, much to the comic delight of some of the bridge crew, his face suddenly turned serious, and he commed back.

"Alright, then. We'll just play it cool. If they ask, we don't have a jedi onboard, okay guys and girls?"

The bridge once more broke out in chuckles, but people also became serious.

"Is that medship over there, yet?"

"Its about to dock sir, but the Imps got their first."

"Alright, tell them not to bother the Imps unless they get in the way. We get in, help the kid, and get out. Then move along, and everyone goes home happy."

Johnas said this in a gruff tone, like he didn't really believe it would go down like that, which, now that he thought about it, it probably wouldn't. Things hardly did.

OOC:Well you responded first but I got here first. I use Fold-Space engines which are almost instantaneous. Hyperspace is slower.

OOC:
You were acting like I had just shown up, thats all, but you did send your medic ship first, I'm not disputing that. :p

The medical team was tending too Kyle, and Andre was checking if Loma was okay. They were recieving a transmission from the other shuttle, but Andre couldn't let them on. The Isafron was just a small transport shuttle with only one door to dock on, he would need to send them back or something.

Andre - " Yes..well, to tell you the truth, we can't really fit anyone else on the shuttle...and also, we only have one door to dock on. The Isafron is quite a small shuttle...I appreciate it though, but..you could stick around if you'd like. Just incase. "

Loma was rubbing the front of her neck, she was confused as to what had just happened.

"Huh. Looks like it's all being taken care of." Chris said.

"Yeah, nothing much for us to do." I replied. "Well, let's find out what that Neb-B is all about..."

I sent a kind of 'Hey, you!' prehailing notice to what I presumed to be our fellow Alliance ship. If I was wrong, the next thing to occur would be evasive action. I just hoped it wouldn't come to that...

OOC: Where's the Signup thread?

OOC: Here: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=435179

"Sir, our shuttle is being refused."

Johnas, whom had had a vein in his temple pumping tensly since this whole situation started, simply stared helplessly at the screen, let a out a sigh, and screamed.

The bridge crew looked awkwardly around, not know what to do.

"Alright...alright...bring it back."

"Returning to ship, commander."

"Sir, we're being hailed by the third ship that came in. It has Freespace Alliance codes, sir."

"Alright, patch them through."

"Codes are matched, Dan-I mean Jake. They're Freespace, all right." Konohamaru reported. "It's a go."

I scowled at the almost-slip, then began speaking. "Hi there! I'm Jake McNeil of the Nothing to Worry About and we were just cruising around here a little while ago when we hopped upon this little group. What's your story?"

"Med team has sent their OK Master. Everyone there is in stable condition." reported Lornal. "Repair droids have begun repairs and should be finished in a couple hours."

"Open the hanger door. Let them in." commanded Lazarus. He watched in the front screen as the Psychotika shuttle got pulled into the hanger bay. "Prepare to launch to the closest Psychotika planet."

"None of your damn business, soldier. Whats your rank? And what are you doing out here on the patrol routes?"

Johnas sat down in his chair and shook his head. These damn kids today, getting into the Alliance, getting a ship and shooting off to adventure. They didn't even understand why the galaxy was even like this yet.

"None of your damn business, soldier. Whats your rank? And what are you doing out here on the patrol routes?"

Johnas sat down in his chair and shook his head. These damn kids today, getting into the Alliance, getting a ship and shooting off to adventure. They didn't even understand why the galaxy was even like this yet.
Oh, this is rich. Alert, we have an old fart here! I rolled my eyes. I hate to pull rank on him, but looks like I'd have to. "It's Commander McNeil to you, officer. And I'm out on patrol, like you. Now may I have an answer for my previous question?"

OOC:
Daniel aka Jake has always had the rank of Commander and always will.

Andre stood as his small shuttle was towed in. Once he deployed the landing gear, the Isafron was sat on the " groun " of the hangar. Andre walked out, Loma following, and the Medical team carrying out Kyle to the medical bay to recouperate. Andre was still feeling wierd auras around him, as Kyle was carried by, and when he did that choking thing on Loma, he felt heat waves being admitted. He was confused to these feelings, and since he has come to think of it, he remembers feeling these things all of his life. As he was in mid though, an Ageaol officer walked up to Andre to greet him.

OOC: I hope you don't mind if my Crew just chills all around your ship untill you have arrived to planet Aquatus, the most near-by planet to our current location.

EDIT: I mean the most near-by planet under Pyschotikan control of course lol.

"Well this is Commander Johnas Kaye, captain."

Johnas stroked his chin in thought, he knew this was there patrol route along the border, but could this be an alliance test? Or even them cracking up enough to think they'd need a support vessal on this mission?

"Alright, Nothing to Worry About, we need to be moving on. You can cover our rear and finish this patrol route with us before getting back on track. Roger?"


OOC:
I had no idea! But anyway, Johnas isn't that old, early thirties, rather, but he's seen his share of the galaxy.

OOC:

OOC: Heh. Daniel's seen more than his own share. The Emperor Death-Stared his homeworld, murdered his father personally (in a grand lightsaber duel), and forced his family to flee to the Freespace regions after numerous clashes and wars. All in the space of four years or so (from age 16 to 20). Now, Daniel (at 25) carries the current alias of Jake McNeil to fight the Empire...but only his closest friends, family and the High Council of the Alliance knows who he really is at the moment.

IC:
"Roger that." I replied. Well, it's better than nothing, I suppose.

"Alright, just follow our path."

The Neb-B Frigate moved away from the Imp vessal and where the damaged one had been a moment ago, and activated its sublight drives, moving its bulk through space with ease.

Andre swept onto the bridge, his Jedi cloak around him, his arms folded across his chest, he awaited for the Commander to finish his transmission.

"Commander..."

"Hold on, Huron."

Johnas finished listening to a report from the head engineer, nodded, and turned back to Andre.

"Commander, in the Freespace vessal following us, I can feel a very powerful force presense. If you wouldn't mind to much, I'd like to meet him to see if perhaps he could help us."

Johnas snorted, and looked back out the main viewport.

"I thought you said you could handle this alone."

"The increase in Sith activity worries the Alliance as well as me, Commander, as your reports would have told you. And those two Sith aboard the Imperial vessal probably figured out I was here. Though they are in the habit of having their own ships, I'm quite sure they are puzzled as to why the Alliance would, with its Jedi forces spread so thin, send a Jedi like myself on a patrol craft."

Johnas nodded, he knew that might happen, as soon as Andre had told him about the other force users.

"So, why do you need to see this guy aboard the other ship? It'd be better to tell them to split now. Two Jedi together are easier to track down than seperately, you know?"

"It may be to late for that, dear Commander. They'd have tagged their ship as well. The best we can do is have them come with us on the mission, hopefully, with the two of us, we will be enough for most Sith warriors we will come across."

Johnas sighed and sloached down in his seat, looking at the stars twirling around in the viewport...

"Alright. Contact the Nothing to Worry About. Tell them I'd like to request the Commander's presense for a meeting."

"Sending transmission, sir."

Andre nodded and turned to leave.

"I will be awaiting their arrival in my quarters, alert me when they dock."

"Right, right."

He swirled out of the room, and Johnas looked out the viewport once more.

"I just got a feeling this mission got a lot more complicated than it already was."

"Hey boss, we got another transmission." Konohamaru said as two other crew members arrived on the bridge and went to their stations. Did you really think we could handle a modified Corellian corvette by ourselves? No, there were three engineers, one backup/copilot in case I'm out for the count, one secondary systems officer and six soldiers to repel boarders. In battle, the main dorsal and ventral turbolasers were manned by Konohamaru and Chris, and I did the 'suicidal piloting' as my grandfather once put it.

"Ah, so I'm invited to a meeting. Sounds interesting." I perked up. "Ok, send back notice that I accept it."

Unfortunately, this ship was too large for the docking bay, so I had to pop into my fighter and head over there. "Henry, you have the bridge until I return."

"As ordered, Commander." Henry was slightly older than I am, with slicked black hair and a hawk-beaked nose.

I headed to the cargo bay and hopped into my fighter. Chris opened the cargo bay door after clearance and I zoomed out and headed for the Nebulon-B. A few more seconds, and I docked at the Neb-B's bay and disembarked my fighter.

A soldier weaved in and out of the newest models of B-wings, A-wings, and X-wings that were the small contingent of fighters in the Frigate's bay, he finally reached the space Jake had landed in.

"Private First Class Samuel Are, sir. Allow me to escort you to the conference room."

Saluting, he turned and led Jake through the fighters and into the primary area of the ship. Just below the main bridge, he opened a door to a room with a long, metal table in it. At the end say Commander Johnas, to his right sat his security chief, to his left sat Andre.

PFC Are saluted again and shut the door behind him.

"Commander, welcome. Please, sit down. Though, you should know. I am not the person who wanted you to come over here." He growled, and jerked a thumb at Andre. "He was."

Andre ( oh btw, it does get a tad bit confusing with two Andre's :-0 ) and Loma were escorted to a smaller barracks room. It was kept for any " guests " that came aboard the ship, and now it would be used by the Pyschotikans on board. Before the officer left the barracks, Andre asked him a question.

Andre - " Do you think it would be arlight if I could have a chat with one of your superiors...perhaps your commander, with all do respect that is. "

Andre was confused if he should tell the commander that he felt something wrong on the two other ships, or if he should keep it to him self. He didn't know if he would sound crazy or not. But, he was confused. He didn't know how the force worked so to him it was quite a scarry thing. The officer left the room saying he would see what he could do about a meeting, and Andre sat down. He tried to picture the two others on the two ships. Those " feelings " drew some sort of an imaginary view on the two, as if he were there...or he was looking into a security camera.

OOC:

To let you all know, Andre is quite neutral in the Jedi/Sith thing. He has always only cared for the other issues, like a war between SOLDIERS. He has never liked the force users, but had to make an exception with Kyle since they are now stuck together untill they are dismissed.

So, no I don't have two " Sith Warriors ", just a Sith Apprentice who'll one day get too over fed with the force, and Andre who will later manipulate it and bring Kyle to his death before he harms anyone else. You'll all have to see!!! >_>

A soldier weaved in and out of the newest models of B-wings, A-wings, and X-wings that were the small contingent of fighters in the Frigate's bay, he finally reached the space Jake had landed in.

"Private First Class Samuel Are, sir. Allow me to escort you to the conference room."
"Alright." I said as I disembarked my own X-wing. I returned his salute.

Saluting, he turned and led Jake through the fighters and into the primary area of the ship. Just below the main bridge, he opened a door to a room with a long, metal table in it. At the end say Commander Johnas, to his right sat his security chief, to his left sat Andre.

PFC Are saluted again and shut the door behind him.

"Commander, welcome. Please, sit down. Though, you should know. I am not the person who wanted you to come over here." He growled, and jerked a thumb at Andre. "He was."

"Ah. I knew there was a Force user on this ship the moment I reached out..." I smiled as I sat down. "You don't hide it very well."

"Ah. I knew there was a Force user on this ship the moment I reached out..." I smiled as I sat down. "You don't hide it very well."


Jedi Master Andre Huron, though obviously still very young (late twenties) had the weary eyed look of a man who had seen much fighting and suffering in his time as a Jedi.

"It does come with the territory, I suppose." He chuckled to himself, and shook hands with Jake.

Johnas ignored the comment and turned to Jake.

"Now, Commander Jake McNeil, you appear to have a good record, but I don't know anyone who can vouch for that..."

"Commander." Andre said in warning. "He is not here to discuss policy with you, I wished to speak to him. You are here because you are the leader of the expedition."

Grumbling, Johnas remained quiet.

"Well, Commander, it is certainly interesting to meet such a young and powerful Jedi among the Alliance. Strange we have not met before, but I suppose I did only recently come into this galaxy."

Ignoring the strange looks from Johnas and the officer, he continued.

"You are a member of the Alliance, and even without the force, I can tell you are trustworthy for your anger towards the Empire runs deep..."

He stopped. "I do not mean to insult or bring back old memories, of course."

Without waiting for an answer, he continued once again.

"We are on a mission, young Jake. A mission that involves the utmost secrecy and, if known to the majority of the Empire or Alliance, would start the war all over again."

This time, he paused for dramatic effect, but Johnas cut in.

"Dammit, Huron! He's the only one in this room that doesn't know what you're talking about! Don't milk it for us, just tell him if you're going to!"

Andre gave him a fake hurt look, and smiled inwardly, turning back to Jake, his face turned serious.

"Our mission is to destroy an artifact of great power to both the Empire and the Sith who serve it. This artifact, if destroyed, will cause the Empire's dark hold over many worlds to become lessened. It is then the Alliance will strike with a secret force that has been being built for years now. Once the artifact is destroyed, we will be left on our own to stop the hoards of Sith while waiting for the fleet to get here. It is a mission that we may die on, but it is a mission worth dying for. I am asking you, as a fellow Jedi, to come with us, and assist me in this difficult quest. I would not ask you to endanger the lives of your crew, however, you will have to ask this of them yourself."

I raised an eyebrow, letting them know that I was interested in this. Now this little mission has turned out to be interesting. Wonder if Grandpa knows about it...

"I will, of course, confer with my crew of this new development. But let me say that I would be honored to join you guys on this quest." I said. There, I've done it. I've committed myself to the mission. Now all I need to do is tell the others about it when I get back.

Andre reached out to Jake's shoulder using the force, and turned him around.

"One other thing, you must know that this is top secret. If you are going to tell your crew, but cannot trust them, then only give them the information that is neccesary. If you do trust them with your life, then tell them everything so they will know what we are getting into."

Andre reached out to Jake's shoulder using the force, and turned him around.

"One other thing, you must know that this is top secret. If you are going to tell your crew, but cannot trust them, then only give them the information that is neccesary. If you do trust them with your life, then tell them everything so they will know what we are getting into."
"Understood, Master." I nodded and headed back to the hangar bay, now that I know where it is. I hopped back into my fighter and after clearance, flew back to the Nothing to Worry About. Upon landing, I ordered a meeting with Chris and Konohamaru, the only two part of the crew I trust with my life.

In the small officer's room (similar to the one where Bail, Kenobi and Yoda met to confer after the Purges), I began telling the two about the top secret mission. "So we have this artifact that we need to help Andre destroy. You guys up for it?"

"Yeah. We'll do it." The two younger boys nodded their heads. Then Chris spoke up. "What do we do about the rest of the crew?"

"Just tell them that we're about to conduct a A-ranked mission, but don't elaborate." I said. For those who haven't read the memo, there are several levels of mission:
D is the lowest level, usually done by the very youngest of the Order and newest crew. It entails missions that include finding lost droids or pets, cleaning and cooking duty, that sort of thing. C is the next level, done by Padawans with at least 8 D missions under their belt. It entails escort-the-old-man duty and anti-gang duty, among others. B-ranked missions are the bulk of the missions the Jedi Knights and the Alliance ships conduct, ranging from escorting convoys to beating up crime lords. A-level missions are missions of war, ranging from battles against the Empire to dealing with Dark Jedi and Sith Apprentices, as well as armies. S-level...now that's a hard mission! It's considered one of those 'decisive battles' missions with a high chance of fatality, like a Battle of Coruscant or facing off against a Dark Lord of the Sith.

I have said Destroy the Artifact is an A-ranked mission, because I suspect that there would be a garrison of stormtroopers and/or a couple of Dark Jedi to deal with before destroying it. It's very likely if the Empire wants to keep it intact, after all. As we broke up the meeting and got back into our stations, I wondered what exactly is the artifact we're up against.

A quick set of coordinates was transmitted to the Nothing to worry about, they were the new hyperspace trajectories of the Blind Sight. The Neb-B moved its hulk into position, and entered hyperspace. Johnas sitting at its helm, looking on as stars turned to white streaks once more. It would take several more jumps, but then they'd be at the point of no return, right before taking a secret route plotted by a Jedi years earlier into the heart of Imperial territory.

"Coordinates recieved...and set." Chris reported.

"Alright. Let's jump!" I pulled back the lever and jumped into hyperspace after the Blind Sight. I noticed that the coordinates sent us coreward of here...

OOC: Could we wait for Ageaol to get back...this is kind of bull...your advancing and were paused...so we can't do anything by the time he DOES get back...so just wait for him to respond? That would be lovely ^_^, thanks.

OOC: Umm it doesn't really matter if I respond or not. I have no clue where they will be. However, I think it's unfair that I should be alone against the two of you since Psychotika's guys aren't really that evil.

IC: The officer Andre had talked to reported the conversation to Lazarus Mayal. "No way. We do not deal with shuttle drivers. Anyways, we have arrived at Aquatus. Send word to them." The officer went back and told Andre the news.

"We have arrived at Aquatus. The repair droids have finished repairs on all the main functions but there might a little thing or two that still needs some fixing. We shall open the hanger and let you go to Aquatus under your own power." The officer ushered them onto their shuttle and then stepped out. On the bridge, Lornal pressed a button and the hanger door opened.

OOC: Because it would have been more interesting if we were just too do...someth...nvm lol

IC:

Andre sighed, and was back inside the shuttle. Kyle had been carried back in, still recouperating from what had happened. Loma was and Andre sat at the cockpit, trying to think what they could say to save there hides. But for Andre, he believe that he would be covered with what he thinks he knows. With out recieving any sort of a goodbye except that they were here, the hanger doors opened and the shuttle took off, home bound for Aquatus.

When they landed, they were greated with quite a not so happy official. They were to explain what had happened, they apparently embarassed all of Pyschotika with there most recent happening.

They were escorted by a few soldiers to the room where a mass of officials sat, waiting for Loma and Andre. Kyle was carried off to continue his recouperation, something that Andre would need to explain too.

An official stepped up to the stand, and began to speak. He apparently was to do the talking for the rest of the officials.

Official - " Commander Andre Oma, it has come to my attention of a few happening caused by you these past few days. We have recieved reports of you disturbing a neutral bandit planet, losing a rather expensive military droid, being irresponsible to care for one of your own crew which may I remind you is no ordinary Sith Apprentice, he is the son of our esteemed leader of Pyschotika. You have upset the Emperor of the Galactic Empire, the leader of Pyschotika, and not to mention you have embarassed your self and the rest of your people! "

The official was verry angered, and didn't want to speak to Andre, let alone even look at him.

Official - " Now...Commander Andre Oma, what do you have to say for your self? "

Andre was tempted to be the smart ass he ussually is, but instead, knew it would be best to stay professional as to not risk losing his rank.

Andre - " Well it wasn't really my fault about the droid...and I can explain what happened with Kyle passing out..... "

Official - " You shall adress the leader's son appropriately when you are here. "

Andre felt like saying something insulting right back at him...but continued profesionally anyways.

Andre - " Sorry, Master Rosh'ja passing out..atleast I think I can. I... "

He thought to him self, he'd rather not tell them what he felt " force " wise, but to change it into a hunch.

Andre - " I felt something a miss about the two other ships that were there..something just...didn't feel right. One ship was way to dodgy, and the other ship was trying to just nose dive into all of this. I believe the reason for Ky..Master Rosh'ja's passing out was that there were other force users...atleast..I believe. He has always done this in the past when we stumbled across something..or someone more powerful then him and was also a force user...well a Jedi force user. I just think those two ships that came for us are doing something strange...I mean, why would they bring a Jedi more powerful than a simple Apprentice? "

Andre waited as most of the officials spoke with each other. The official at the stand replied to " Andre's " hunch.

Official - " This is nonsense to speak of Master Rosh'ja this way...weaker? How cou... "

Andre was inferiated. The only damned word the officials heard was Rosh'ja and weaker.

Andre - " This isn't just a bunch of nonsense. Why...why is it always like this. All of you old farts are just too damned ignorant and scared. You think that ANYTHING remotely " bad " said about " oooo Master Rosh'ja..oooo " is..is...like treachory. C'mon, you never listen to me. This is just BULL! I mean, listen to me!! I KNOW there is something wrong with those two other ships. They wouldn't have such powerful force users for a simple...stroll through the Galaxy. And if there carrying Jedi's, then they have to be a part of the Alliance...meaning they HAVE to be up to something! "

Andre was yelling now, he felt a certain feeling he had felt before when he was angry and surrounded by complete idiots...some sort of aura. He noticed that the Officials were most unpleased now.

Official - " THAT IS ENOUGH YOUNG ANDRE! We are here-by assigning you to retrieve the droid you have lost and to bring it back or you shall be resigned from your job as Commander, you'll be lucky to even be a JANITOR on a ship if you come back empty handed. THAT IS ALL! "

With that, Andre turned around and stomped off. He was extremely pissed with the Officials. Loma looked at the Officials, and at Andre, back to the officials, and ran to catch up with Andre.

Loma - " So..how are we going to get the droid back? "

Andre - " Were not. "

Loma - " What? But arn't you worried about losing your rank? "

Andre - " No..I mean, yes I am..but we are going to track down those ships. Go get some conscripts, see if they care to join us. I need a larger crew and enough pilots and soldiers to man our other ship. "

Loma - " Which ship? "

Andre - " The Essyx. "

Loma - " Oh..yea..I thought you meant something else. "

Andre - " How would I...ugh...just get what we need and get the troops. I'll be thinking up a plan to even guess where those ships are headed. I'll see you in a hour. "

Loma - " Yes Andre... "

Lazarus Mayal commanded the crew to bring the ship back to normal patrol routes. He then retired to his quarters to meditate. He thought back to when they had responded to the distress signal. He was sure he had sensed some Force emanate from at least one of those ships. He figured out the puzzle piece by piece. The captain of the shuttle had said one of his crew had suddenly fainted and was in trouble. When the med team had gotten onboard however, they had reported that all the crew were in stable condition. He figured that on one of those ships, a Jedi had sensed the trouble he was in and used the Force to heal him. The two ships meeting there could not also have been a coincidence. The shuttle belonged to a member of the GE and both were clearly FA. They were obviously meeting secretly in space to plan something big. Something that might seriously injure the GE. Something that would require Jedi.

"Lornal!" Lazarus spoke into the com system. "Check all data from when the two Freespace ships entered hyperspace. Measure trajectory and velocity and try and make out where they might have ended up. From there, use sensors to track their trail." Lazarus then spent the remaining time before their jump practicing.

Andre was standing outside the Essyx when Loma finally returned, with a few men following.

Andre - " Uhh...Loma...where are the rest? "

Loma giggled, and replied.

Loma - " What did you expect? An army? Not many people are too happy about what had happened recently. Were lucky to get THIS many to help us. "

Andre grumbled, and had Loma walk closer and had the other men stand back.

Andre - Whisperign " Loma...we can't even get the Essyx off the ground with this many...ugh...you couldn't have atleast sent an order in for some Imperial Stormtroopers atleast? "

Loma - Whispering " Well...I did, but they said we would have to wait for a few days for them to arrive. "

Andre - Whispering " Wait...what happened to the Stormtroopers we already had?

Loma - Whispering " You kind of...well.. "

Andre - Whispering " Nevermind...I don't want to think what stupid thing I did to lose all of them...okay...fine..show these men around, I'm going to get us some Stormtroopers right away, or just..anyone..now if they give you any trouble, let me know. Okay? "

Loma - Whispering " Alright.. "

Andre started down off the docking platform, and got on a speeder. He went through the city, looking at the blue water that made up most of Aquatus. He arrived to an Imperial Military office, and parked the speeder. He walked inside, and was greeted by a long time friend, Romulus.

Romulus - " Why..I can't believe my eyes. Is that you Andre? "

Romulus was actually a friend of Andre's dad, and became a good friend with Andre too. He was like an uncle, and they decided to start calling each other family after Andre's father passed away.

Andre - " Not so bad...not so bad...how are ya yourself? "

Romulus - " Ah..ya know...things have been going on and off. Its been lonely since you ran off to the military like your dad..not to mention that your dad is gone. "

Andre - " Yea...I miss the old man too. "

Romulus - " So..I wouldn't imagine you've come here to buy me that drink ya owe me? Heh...so what is it you need this time Andre...a new E-11, some parts..anything, and I'll get some for ya. "

Andre - " Well..there is one thing I need..well..quite a lot of things...how fast could you get me enough troopers and pilots to completely man the Essyx and completely fill up the hangers with some Tie Fighters and Tie Bombers? "

Romulus - " Ohh...I'd say..hmm...I could get ya the troopers and pilots by tonight, just gotta make the call. And for the fighters and bombers...here I have a good friend over at the air acadamey. He knows some people who could get you an entire invasionary fleet if you needed it. You might wanna try asking for Razziel Mar once you get there. If they ask, say its a request from Romulus. "

Andre - " Thanks Romulus..oh and I suspect you know where to send those troopers and pilots. Well, cya around man. "

With that, Andre headed for the door, and when he arrived he found some kids trying to jack his speeder. When he walked out, they all yelled and ran away, someone carrying something.

Andre - " Stupid rascals... "

Andre trys to start up the speeder..and realizes...the trajectory unit was missing.

Andre - " Oh come on.... "

He got up, and started walking for the air academy. It was only around the corner, but this still steemed up Andre. He would need to scarf up some credits to get a ride to the Essyx. After a fiew minutes, he found himself at the doorstep of the rather large Acadamy, with its huge airfield in the back. He came in, and after saying the first name of Razziel, he was told he was bussy. He mentioned Romulus's name, and suddenly it was like everything magically flip flopped and everyone was pointing to an office.

Razziel - " Come in...come in. I hear your here for Romulus, correct? "

Andre studdied the man, noticed he had an eye patch and was bald with a few scars on his scalp. He sempt no older then goold ol' Romulus.

Andre - " Well...my name is Andre, a good friend of Romulus. He is like an uncle to me, knew my father real well. Anyways, he told me to come here about some Tie Fighters and Tie Bombers. I need some, quite a some actually. Enough to fit Essyx..I suppose you remember old Essyx right? It used to be my dad's but Romulus was the XO for it. "

Razziel - " Ah yes....Essyx..I remember the verry first day me and Romulus and a friend of his stepped on that ship. Anyways, I got just the ammount for you. Here take this, and come by anytime to get them. Oh and..tell Romulus I said hi. "

Andre smiled widely, and told Razziel he would do so. He folded the paper and put it in his pocket and walked out. He felt so lucky to have so many connections, although he kind of disapointed his whole nation, atleast his friends were still holding high esteem for him. He walked out, and realized again..." How am I going to get a ride...no body wants to even think about me. Oh well, I guess walking WILL do. " And so he began his walk back to the Essyx.

OOC:

Truthfully it isn't a large ass force I'm ordering, I'll post specs later.

Re-emerging from hyperspace, the Blind Sight immediately began moving behind a moon that was next to a large planet. The Frigate came into orbit around the small satellite, and the Nothing to Worry About was instructed to do the same.

Andre walked towards the bridge, where a disraught Commander Johnas was already standing at the doorway, dressed in heavy looking civilian clothes, underneath, he wore a light armor underneath, and was armed with a DH-17 blaster, and a small hold out inside his sleeve. Two security personal, armed and dressed the same, stood behind him.

He grunted.

"You ready, Andre?"

"Of course, Commander. Have you contacted our new friends?"

"Just about to."

He took a comlink out of his cloak he was now wearing, and opened up a private channel to Jake's ship.

"Commander? I'd like you and a small party of your choosing from your ship to come over here. We have business to take care of before we move farther into the core. Makre sure your ship stays dorment up here, and deactivate anything that would give you away as anything less than a pirate or smuggling ship, and, of course, dress and arm yourself accordingly."

"Alright, I'll be there in a moment." I replied on my own comlink. "Well, guys. Looks like it's time to go. Gear up and head to the cargo bay. Henry, you're in charge until I return. Oh, and make the ship look weaker than it is. Smuggler, like."

"Yes, Commander." He nodded.

That done, I headed aft to the armory, where it was being cleaned out by my younger friends. Konohamaru took out a generic blaster and holstered it on the other side of his lightsaber and checked his shuriken and kunai holsters (on a leg and in a waist-pouch, respectively; I have some too). Chris checked his pair of DL-44s and made sure the power and gas are full. I did the same with my Westars. A Private Roberts will accompany us as the designated blaster rifle carrier.

"Ready?" I asked once more and the other three nodded. We headed to the cargo bay and slipped into a small bubble-shaped shuttle designated for occasions like this and then zoomed out of the bay once more to the Blind Sight.

Andre, Johnas, and the two security personal met the group in the hanger bay. Andre looked as unreadable as always, Johnas looking disgruntled as always, and the two officers mearly looking complacent.

Johnas grinned slightly as the group moved out of their shuttle.

"Oh, you won't be needed that." He motioned towards their ship, then patted an old wreck of something that slightly looked like a shuttle lovingly on the hull.

"We'll be taking her."

The ship he was patting was an old ex-military decommissioned Raptor. Usually used for recon missions or troop transport It had been repainted to look like a piece of junk, but the inside was outfitted with loads of new alliance equipment.

"Get your equipment on, then we move out."

He jerked his thumb down at the planet they could see through the shield seperating the hanger and them from the void of space.

Andre had been sitting back in the Essyx after his quite a long walk. Aquatus always had a temperate temperature, so it felt nice to walk. Andre almost drifted off to sleep when an Imperial stromtrooper came walking inside.

TK-??? - " Greetings Commander. I am here to inform you that your men have arrived. I have been given a message from a ' Romulus '. He says he wishes you luck with whatever you are to embark on. "

Andre - " Trooper, what is your number? "

TK-??? - " Commander, my trooper number is 799. "

Andre - " Okay then, TK-799..tell the rest of the troops to report to..well..anywhere they please too. We won't be leaving untill nightfall. "

TK-799 " Yes Commander. "

Andre - " Ugh... "

TK-799 - " Commander is there a problem? "

Andre - " Nothing really...just a small request..could you please adress me by Andre. I mean...just you though. "

TK-799 - A tad bit confused " Yes, Co....uhh...Andre..? "

Andre - " Good. Well, better get the message to the others then. "

TK-799 turned around and sprinted back out of the control room. Loma sat in a chair behind a console, somewhat confused.

Loma - " You..uhh...never told me you had some troopers somewhere in your budget... "

Andre - " Well..an old friend of mine helped me. And thats not all, see what we get to pick up tonight. "

Andre was hearty, and was chuckling a bit. He was sure going to enjoy what he had planned out.

Andre, Johnas, and the two security personal met the group in the hanger bay. Andre looked as unreadable as always, Johnas looking disgruntled as always, and the two officers mearly looking complacent.

Johnas grinned slightly as the group moved out of their shuttle.

"Oh, you won't be needed that." He motioned towards their ship, then patted an old wreck of something that slightly looked like a shuttle lovingly on the hull.

"We'll be taking her."

The ship he was patting was an old ex-military decommissioned Raptor. Usually used for recon missions or troop transport It had been repainted to look like a piece of junk, but the inside was outfitted with loads of new alliance equipment.

"Get your equipment on, then we move out."

He jerked his thumb down at the planet they could see through the shield seperating the hanger and them from the void of space.
"Alright. So what are we doing here?" Konohamaru asked as we piled into the transport.

"Alright. So what are we doing here?" Konohamaru asked as we piled into the transport.

"Well," Johnas now grinned again, and pointed to the planet. "As I'm not sure if you can tell, thats Cato Nemoidia down there. We're in the Core ladies and gentlemen, Imperial territory. We need to get down there and find a good ship that isn't going to give us away. After the all clear, the Blind Sight and Nothing to Worry About will haul ass out of the system before they're tracked."

He put a hand on Jake's shoulder and nodded.

"Don't worry, you'll see her again."

He turned and sat back in the copilot chair of the Raptor, which was now doing its final system checks.

"I'm actually going to come back to the ship before you guys leave in your shuttle, in this thing, seeming as how we can't just leave it there."

He saw the sudden look on Andre's wave, and waved a hand at it.

"I know you thought I was coming, but the Alliance needs me to help make preparations for when you complete the mission. I'll be the ship to be picking you up, and I'm pretty sure Jake's crew wouldn't mind being part of that operation, either. You'll have the Corporal and Private here to assist you in the operation, their orders are to do whatever your orders are."

At this, PFC Samuel Are, who was the private accompying them, smiled at Jake's group, and turned back to discussing something with the Corporal.

Johnas nodded to the pilot, who was asking for confirmation to leave the hanger, the ship glided across the bay and through the shield, now making its way staight towards the planet.

"Now, Andre was supposed to be in charge of this mission, but we seem to have a bit of a snag there, with the Commander here. Though he's not a Jedi Master, like Andre. Now I'm going to have to ask you, Jake, would you mind being under Andre's ruling for this mission?"

"Well," Johnas now grinned again, and pointed to the planet. "As I'm not sure if you can tell, thats Cato Nemoidia down there. We're in the Core ladies and gentlemen, Imperial territory. We need to get down there and find a good ship that isn't going to give us away. After the all clear, the Blind Sight and Nothing to Worry About will haul ass out of the system before they're tracked."
Cato Nemoida... I looked at the planet. But what about my ship?

He put a hand on Jake's shoulder and nodded.

"Don't worry, you'll see her again."
I was reassured about the Nothing to worry about. I love the old girl.

He turned and sat back in the copilot chair of the Raptor, which was now doing its final system checks.

"I'm actually going to come back to the ship before you guys leave in your shuttle, in this thing, seeming as how we can't just leave it there."

He saw the sudden look on Andre's wave, and waved a hand at it.

"I know you thought I was coming, but the Alliance needs me to help make preparations for when you complete the mission.

Johnas nodded to the pilot, who was asking for confirmation to leave the hanger, the ship glided across the bay and through the shield, now making its way staight towards the planet.

"Now, Andre was supposed to be in charge of this mission, but we seem to have a bit of a snag there, with the Commander here. Though he's not a Jedi Master, like Andre. Now I'm going to have to ask you, Jake, would you mind being under Andre's ruling for this mission?"
"Yeah, I'm a Knight anyway." I shrugged. "Konohamaru here happens to be my apprentice and Chris here is my apprentice-sharpshooter (notice the lack of lightsaber; not enough Force power for anything other than Sense and Aim)."

"Yeah, I'm a Knight anyway." I shrugged. "Konohamaru here happens to be my apprentice and Chris here is my apprentice-sharpshooter (notice the lack of lightsaber; not enough Force power for anything other than Sense and Aim)."

Johnas nodded and smiled at this, and turned to Andre for confirmation of this being a good idea.

"It is fine, Commander, though I would not mind having Jake here be my second in command for the mission..."

"Right then."

Johnas once again now addressed the entire group.

"Cato Nemoidia is on the far outside of the core, so Imperial security should be light. But just in case, you're probably going to want to disguise your lightsabers as something, there are supplies in the back if you want to go do it now."

As the Raptor entered the outer atmosphere, it began to rumble and shake.

"Yeah, you probably should go do that..."

"Good idea." I said, and Konohamaru and I rooted for equipment to quick-solder (with a little lightning) on our lightsabers. The ends of a hydrospanner seemed sufficient, so we used those. The blasters could be explained away as us being careful around scum and villainy.

The Atrum Vis appeared a little distance outside of the solar system. "Check the system for any signs of the two ships we saw." Lazarus commanded. Lornal started toying around with things and pretty soon a hazy picture of the two ships could be seen onscreen.

"I think those are our ships." said Lornal.

Came out of hyperspace near that moon... probably attempting to land on the planet. "Lornal! Identify that planet."

"Yes Master." Lornal replied. A short while later, "Master, that planet is called Cato Nemoida."

"Bring us into orbit. If you see a ship attempting to leave the system or attempt to enter the planet's atmosphere, blast it." Lazarus ordered the crew. "Lornal, let the others take over and go practice."

"Yes Master." Lornal left the bridge and returned to the training room to practice his combat and Force powers.

As we descended, I felt a slightly familar disturbance in the Force. Something like one of the Force-sensitives we've detected earlier. "Master Andre, there's someone behind us."

Andre was to now looking at the scanners, having felt the force disturbance as well.

"Commander, several ships just jumped in system. Their weapons are primed and ready to fire..."

"Is it that same ship from before?"

"We'll have to assume so, Johnas."

"Then they won't let the Blind Sight or the Nothing to Worry About leave system, they'd destroy them!"

"They might destroy us, Johnas."

"We're already in the atmosphere. Without knowing who we are, they wouldn't bother to try and shoot us, they'd end up hitting the planet, and I don't care how much of a grip the Empire has here, bombarding a planet without good reason like that isn't going to make anyone happy."

The Raptor swivled and juked as it finally burst through the lower atmosphere and closer to the planet's surface, the pilot lined it up with the nearest space port, and soon they were getting clearence to land.

"Get your things, ladies. We're moving out."

I was still concerned about getting a turbolaser up our asses, but now I turned my attention to the ground. "So what exactly are we doing here?"

"Well, like I said, we can't just waltz straight to Coruscant in a Neb-B, or this bucket of bolts."

Johnas opened the hatch to the Raptor as it came to stop on a space platform, and engaged the clamps.

"We are going to pick up an appropriate vehicle, and then get over there to complete the mission."

The Atrum Vis had reached orbit around Cato Nemoida. The Blind Sight and the [i]Nothing to Worry About were in view but Lazarus didn't recognize them. "Blast those ships. But target the engines. They might be the Freespace ships in disguise which means they might have information pertaining as to why they have travelled here. If they are smugglers, too bad for them." The Atrum Vis opened fire.

"Oh, that makes a lot of sense, then." Chris smiled.

But Konohamaru and I exchanged glances. Coruscant?!

The Atrum Vis had reached orbit around Cato Nemoida. The [i]Blind Sight and the Nothing to Worry About were in view but Lazarus didn't recognize them. "Blast those ships. But target the engines. They might be the Freespace ships in disguise which means they might have information pertaining as to why they have travelled here. If they are smugglers, too bad for them." The Atrum Vis opened fire.
The Nothing to Worry About suddenly had something to worry about as it shuddered under the enemy attack. Henry started ordering battle stations and maneuvered his ship to meet his enemy. The turbolasers were manned, the proton torpedo launchers were primed, and the ship was ready to fight...and then flee.

He sent a secure message to my comlink: "Commander, we're under attack! We'll be heading out of here for the time being. Good luck on your mission."

I sent back a double-click, meaning "copy that" and hoped my crew would be safe.

The security officer, also the ship's first mate, shook in the commander's chair as the powerful turbo laser blasts smashed into the Blind Sight's shields.

"Sir! Power levels failing in rear shields!"

"Sir, engine room is reporting trouble..."

"Sir!"

"God damn it!"

He screamed and turned to the communications officer.

"Contact the Nothing to Worry about, tell them to NOT ENGAGE, repeat, NOT ENGAGE. Get them to hit hyperspace and move into a series of micro jumps so they can't be tracked, we'll try and contact them as soon as we're done doing our own jumps."

"Our own jumps, sir?"

"Damn straight, soldier. Prepare to jump to light speed. Get us out of the moon's gravity."

"We're not going to fire back, sir?"

"And betray who the hell we are? No. The Commander still has a mission to complete, and so do we."

"But the Commander's orders are to stay here and wait for him..."

"I KNOW WHAT MY ORDERS ARE, LIETENENT!"

He smashed his fist onto the chairs arm and looked over to the soldier who had challenged him.

"And I know as a damn fact that Commander Kaye would rather see us disobeying his orders than sparking an intersteller war. Sergeant, how are we on those shields?"

"Holding sir, but only for another ten minutes."

"How long until we have an escape vector?"

"Five minutes, sir."

"Then we just have to wait."

Five minutes later, the Blind Sight, still under heavy fire, jumped away from the planet and the Sith cruiser, headed to Felucia.

Cato Nemoidia:

"Good, no more questions for now."

They approached the security checkpoint, and placed in their weapons, Andre coming in last, putting in a rather strange looking amount of kitchen utensils. After a weird look from the guard, he responded.

"The ships chef." He grinned wrly and moved on through the bustling crowds, following Johnas and the guards.

The security officer, also the ship's first mate, shook in the commander's chair as the powerful turbo laser blasts smashed into the Blind Sight's shields.

"Sir! Power levels failing in rear shields!"

"Sir, engine room is reporting trouble..."

"Sir!"

"God damn it!"

He screamed and turned to the communications officer.

"Contact the Nothing to Worry about, tell them to NOT ENGAGE, repeat, NOT ENGAGE. Get them to hit hyperspace and move into a series of micro jumps so they can't be tracked, we'll try and contact them as soon as we're done doing our own jumps."

"Our own jumps, sir?"

"Damn straight, soldier. Prepare to jump to light speed. Get us out of the moon's gravity."

"We're not going to fire back, sir?"

"And betray who the hell we are? No. The Commander still has a mission to complete, and so do we."

"But the Commander's orders are to stay here and wait for him..."

Five minutes later, the Blind Sight, still under heavy fire, jumped away from the planet and the Sith cruiser, headed to Felucia.
"Sir? Do we engage?" The weapons officer asked as the bridge shook again.

Henry shook his head. "You heard the Blind Sight. We'd better not engage them, especially when they're bigger than us. Plot a jump, now!"

"Aye!" Henry punched the throttle open and used the corvette's maneuverability to dodge most of the fire as he moved away from the gravity wells. "How are we on the jump?"

"Two minutes!"

"Very well!" For the next two minutes, Henry did his best to flee from the enemy under heavy fire and just as it looked as if it was going to get caught, it too jumped into hyperspace, in a different vector from the Neb-B...

We followed the older Jedi's lead and headed down the street with them. Most of the people here were Nemiodians, once a prominent member species of the Old Republic, but after the Clone Wars, were put to shame by the Empire. They seem to have recovered here, but I wouldn't know.

Moving quickly, Johnas led them to an alleyway, where he looked at the whole group.

"Alright, weapons armed, the Jedi can un disguise their lightsabers, now, lets move."

He walked up the back steps a seedy looking store, and into a dimly lit room. An old looking, strange alien sat in a corner, mumbling to himself. Johnas walked up to a counter and ringed a small bell, Andre sat down in a broken chair, and the two guards stood at the door, looking around at the strange surroundings.

An odd looking Nemoidian swiftly came through at the sound of the ringing, at seeing Johnas's face, his lit up.

"Ah, Mister Kaye! How plesent it is to see you."

"I suppose I could say the same, Dod, but you know what I'm here for."

"Ah, yes, are we still going with the price I gave you?"

"Of course, lets see her."

"I suppose I could say the same, Dod, but you know what I'm here for."

"Ah, yes, are we still going with the price I gave you?"

"Of course, lets see her."
As Konohamaru and I discreetly returned our sabers to their original position, the three of us (the Private stood at the door with the other guards) sat down, taking in the sight of the dimly-lit room and the shady negotiations going on right now. It was something like what my father would have done back when he was alive, meeting with the unscrupulous to get information and stuff. Hell, I do it myself from time to time.

Motioning for Andre, Jake, and the others to follow him, Johnas moved into a back room with the Nemoidian.

The back room turned out to be a hanger.

Inside were dozens of strange shuttle craft, all beat up, but one stood out in the middle, an old Lambda-class Imperial shuttle.

"That is her, Mister Kaye!"

"Good man, Dod, good man."

"So when can I expect payment, ah, mister Kaye?"

"As soon as this thing is fueled and ready."

"Of course, Mister Kaye, that will be very soon. Can I suggest a hotel for you to stay in tonight?"

Johnas looked back to the group.

"Feel like spending the night?"

A silent exchange of words came by us taking glances at each other. "Yeah, sure." I shrugged. "We'll spend the night around here."

Dod nodded and bowed, motioning them to a turbo lift.

"You can all stay on my second floor, I have a suite up there that I never use..."

"Right then. We'll be down tomorrow when its ready."

Johnas turned to motion the guards to come up with them.

"They can stay up there, with us. I believe Dod has a highly efficient defense system, to ah, cover his occupation."

I smiled, guessing what his, ah, occupation could be. "All right. We could crash there."

"Should we follow them sir?" asked one of the crew.

"Of course not. The Jedi are not aboard those ships. They are on the surface of the planet. Lornal!" Lazarus spoke into the com system. "We are going to the planet. Meet me in the transporter room." Lazarus went there and Lornal arrived a minute later. A crewmember activated it and they were in the spaceport. "There's their shuttle, Master." Lornal pointed at the Raptor. "It landed very recently and I can sense their Force signatures on it."

"So now we have to find out where they went and what they are doing here." Lazarus replied, deep in thought. Their ships departing was probably noted or maybe planned. They can't get anywhere fast in that shuttle of theirs. So.. "Lornal. Look for a factory or some kind of place that stocks Imperial ships."

"Yes Master." Lornal walked into the crows and started looking at maps and probing people's minds.

As we headed up the turbolifts to the suite, I had the distinct feeling that we're not going to get very much sleep tonight. Huh. Something wicked this way comes...

"Oh yes and before I forget, hide your presence in the Force before they notice us." Lazarus told Lornal. He and Lornal pushed the Force away from them making them unnoticable through the Force. Then suddenly Lornal called out.

Master, I think I found a place where a person sells ships of all kinds, including Imperial, in secret. said Lornal.

Lead the way. Lazarus followed Lornal and they headed to Dod's place.

A modified super battle droid approached the pair of Sith approaching, it raised its heavy blaster cannon.

"Halt! This area is off limits. Please redirect your travel route immediately or we will open fire."

The "we" were three other super battle droids, all hidden in the gloom of the alley way.

Upstairs

Andre shot up in his bed, breathing heavily.

He had sensed something.

It had just been a slight glimmer, but he had felt a dark presense approaching their hideout. He moved to wake Johnas up, but knew he wouldn't care or appreciate his abilities, instead, he moved to wake Jake and his apprentice up.

"Commander...I think we might have a little early morning work out. I believe you may have sensed it as well."

Already dressed in his cloak and with his lightsaber attached to his belt, he waited at the door for them.

In the back of my mind, there was the hint of something approaching, a shadow of some kind. When Andre woke me up, the sensation disappeared, but it's taint remained. "Yeah...I have."

I moved to wake up Konohamaru and Chris, get them ready for possible combat, then we put our clothes on and clipped our weapons to our belts. "We're ready."

Lazarus Mayal just kept walking. Then a glimmer shown in his hand. The droids refocused their attention on that and Lazarus threw his purple lightsaber. It went straight through the first droid and then spinning rapidly, chopped the other three droids in half. The spinning lightsaber came back and rested in his hand. "I think this is the place Lornal. Be on your guard."

"Yes Master." Lornal pulled out his lightsaber but didn't ignite it. They continued to walk towards the building.

OOC: Bah I got caught up and got bussy....so now you are all doing something and I don't think I can gain enough credibility to get involved..

OOC:
Just start up a story with your people, and meet us along the way. :p


IC:

Seeing the flash of light reflecting in a window, Andre took a stride and was on the turbo lift.

"I do not wish to forgo Dod's hospitality by destroying his shop. We will challenge them outside."

"Alright. Chris, stay inside with the other guards. You won't be able to handle the Dark Jedi with just blasters." I warned him.

"Alright." He seemed a little down, but he'll get some action later on. Count on that.

I made a mental note that if we get out of this, I'll start training Chris in swodmanship. I checked over the three of us who could face the Dark Jedi, however many there are. A (young) Jedi Master, a Jedi Knight and a Shinobi apprentice. Yeah, that looks pretty even, unless there's an army of darksiders. Though I doubt that today...

Opening the turbo lift doors with a wave of his hand, Andre walked out into the main area of the shop again. His lightsaber was now in his hand, deactivated. He slowly moved towards the main door, but turned back to the others, and whispered.

"This will be difficult. If it seems we will not win, I will hold them off while you gather everyone to escape in the shuttle. Take Dod with you, as they will not allow him to live if they know who he has been dealing with. Do you understand? I needn't remind you that you are required to follow my orders, and I hope I do not have to make this request one."

"Yes, Master." I nodded crisply.

Lazarus reached the main doors and waved his hand. The doors flew open and he walked inside and saw the small group waiting for them. "Greetings Jedi scum. I'm here to take you in or kill you for trespassing on Imperial territory."

Lazarus reached the main doors and waved his hand. The doors flew open and he walked inside and saw the small group waiting for them. "Greetings Jedi scum. I'm here to take you in or kill you for trespassing on Imperial territory."
I smiled confidently, taking off my jacket. "Not today, my Sith friends. Not today." A lightsaber the color of a shallow sea hummed to life.

Konohamaru's red-orange blade sprang to life as well as Chris moved off to the side to run for the back room and wait for us.

Lazarus reached the main doors and waved his hand. The doors flew open and he walked inside and saw the small group waiting for them. "Greetings Jedi scum. I'm here to take you in or kill you for trespassing on Imperial territory."

"You have no reason to attack us, Sith."

A blue and silver blade hummed to life along side Andre, who stood in the doorway, now. Staring down at the Sith warriors.

"I will give you this one chance, leave us now, or you will be destroyed."

Andre used the force to put strength and purpose behind his words, then moving his own mind into the obvious Sith master, to see their true intentions.

"And you have no reason to be here. Jedi are not allowed to be in Imperial Territory. Especially those that swear allegiance to the Freespace Alliance."

Lazarus sensed Andre's attempt to penetrate his mind and easily deflected the mental attack. He drew and ignited his purple lightsaber. Lornal stood by him and ignited his lightsaber which had a blade of red and gray.

His eyes narrowing, Andre sent a quick force message to Jake and Konohamaru to nudge them to attack the Sith apprentice.

I will handle the master

Swinging around straight through the doorway, Andre spun through the air, using the force to guide him, his lightsaber held out in front of him as me turned into a living spear, heading staight towards Lazarus.

Right.

As Andre attacked the Sith master, we advanced on the apprentice. I, gifted with the saber-on-saber form that is Makashi, attacked first as we neared saber range, lashing out with a series of quick slashes and thrusts.

OOC: Oh yes double team the apprentice. That's really nice.
BTW, how exactly do you spin and have your lightsaber point straight towards someone?
IC: Lazarus watched the incoming attack. Milliseconds before it hit he jumped over Andre and swung at at his head.

Lornal watched as Jake and Konohamaru approached him. He took a Form V stance and prepared to strike. As Jake started attacking he defended and parried the strikes while striking a blow of his own when he could.

Lornal watched as Jake and Konohamaru approached him. He took a Form V stance and prepared to strike. As Jake started attacking he defended and parried the strikes while striking a blow of his own when he could.
I riposted the blows he lashed on me and began a series of strikes and parries that ended up with our first blade-locking, granting Konohamaru the chance to strike out with his own blade.

Lornal force pushed Jake to break the lock and blocked Konohamaru's attack. He drew out a second lightsaber, this one was blue and red. He drew back and waited for them to strike.

I staggered back from the push and moved to strike again, this time simentaneously with Konohamaru. I went high, while he struck low.

Lornal jumped to the side while parrying then leapt in to strike with both blades at Konohamaru.

Lornal jumped to the side while parrying then leapt in to strike with both blades at Konohamaru.
Konohamaru barely missed the two blows by ducking low and rolling to the side. However, the blows appeared to leave Lornal open to an attack from the side, an attack I exploited...

Lornal realized the trouble he was in and followed through the attack by twisting around and barely blocking Jake's attack. He pushed the lightsaber back and attacked Jake's midriff.

OOC:
Thats what I was going for, since my guy's mastery is in Ataro. :D


IC:

Lazarus watched the incoming attack. Milliseconds before it hit he jumped over Andre and swung at at his head.

Swinging his blade while falling heavily on his back, he raised up and kicked with both feet upwards into Lazaru's chest, while using his hands to swing upwards to bring his lightsaber bearing down on the Sith's head.

Lazarus avoided the kick to the stomach by spinning rapidly and pushing off Andre's feet with his hands. This allowed him to dodge the swing to the head. He flipped in midair and brought his lightsaber swinging down across Andre's chest.

Lornal realized the trouble he was in and followed through the attack by twisting around and barely blocking Jake's attack. He pushed the lightsaber back and attacked Jake's midriff.
I flicked my wrist to deflect the next blow, then a second flick sent the blade spinning around my own in an attempt to knock it away from my enemy's hand...

Taking a step back, the lightsaber burnt through the front part of his tunic, cursing, Andre moved forward with a sudden burst of speed, through the force, he swung the blade around in an overhead diagonal strike, then twisted at the last moment and brought his right foot in a roundhouse kick into the Sith's chest.

Lornal cursed as the lightsaber flew away from him. He pulled it back with the Force while striking back at Jake with a thrust aimed towards his legs.

Lazarus blocked the strike but didn't expect the kick to the chest. He slid backwards and steadied himself with the Force. He used the Force to go around Andre at lightning speed while sweeping his legs to trip Andre. Then he swung his lightsaber to knock his opponent's weapon away.

Deciding he'd rather lose his lightsaber than his hand, Andre allowed it to be knocked away. He flipped back and put his hands up in a defensive position, then force pushing at the Sith Lord.

Lazarus stumbled against the Force push. While he stood up again he decided that now that his enemy had no lightsaber it was better to knock him unconscious and question him. He leapt behind Andre and feigned a strike at the end while kicking Andre in the balls.

Lornal cursed as the lightsaber flew away from him. He pulled it back with the Force while striking back at Jake with a thrust aimed towards his legs.
I parried the thrust and with yet another Makashi flick of my wrist and aimed for the opening I saw when he used the Force to call back his other saber. Either he'd lose his hand or his saber.

Dodging the fake strike to the right, the kick now hit him right next to his groin, he gasped, but used the force to buffer the pain. He now drew back his right fist and smashed it right across Lazarus's face.

Lornal saw the incoming attack and drew his hand away just in time. The blow hit the lightsaber and knocked it away. He left it there this time. Using the Force, Lornal bolted around Konohomaru and struck at his back.

Lazarus felt his face. It was bleeding a little. He wiped the blood away and closed the cut with the Force. He slowly approached Andre and made a chop at his upper arm and shoulder.

Only to be met by me, as I knocked the boy out of the way and blocked his blow. I smirked and then as I locked the blades downward and out of the way of my body, I raised my other hand, focused the raw energy of the Force through my body and into my fingers and unleashed a torrent of lightning upon my opponent. I'm sure Andre would disapprove, but I've always used lightning when necessary.

OOC: Well I think I am too late to interfere anymore. Perhaps the next part of all of this?

Also....I have been bussy and might be able to drop an other RP I have been doing forever and catch up on this one. GOT TOO MANY THINGS GOING ON FOR ME!! lol

OOC: Force Lightning O_o. My guy's in trouble. Come up with an excuse and save my ass Psychotika!

IC: Lornal caught the Force Lightning in his hand and then threw it away. It burned him a bit but it was better than losing his life. He used the Force to numb down the pain and pushed Jake's lightsaber away. Lornal jumped and bounced off Jake's head to strike at Konohomaru's chest.

A few feet away Lazarus cut off his attack and ducked as the Force Lightning went past him and straight towards Andre.

Konohamaru went on the defensive, giving ground as he blocked the blow that would have killed him otherwise.

As for me, I smarted from getting a foot on my head, recovered and I focused my own lightning away from Andre before it hit the Jedi and it collided into a wall next to him. Then I moved to help my apprentice fight Lornal.

Lornal focused the Force onto his hand. He built up power and then unleashed a Force Lightning a bit weaker then Jake's onto Konohomaru. With his other hand he fended off any attacks Jake might make.

Konohamaru yelped in pain as he was slammed backwards into a wall and swooned.

"Alright...now it's serious." I muttered, as I doubled the speed of my attacks on Lornal, going up to about three-quarters of what I'd be when facing a Dark Lord of the Sith. I also began to include feints and voids, weaving a deadly quilt of light upon my opponent.

Lornal backed away from Jake defending and parrying. His opponent was too fast and he was unable to get an attack back in.

Lornal backed away from Jake defending and parrying. His opponent was too fast and he was unable to get an attack back in.
I pressed the advantage, seeking openings and weaknesses in the defenses of my opponent, as taught by my grandfather years ago.

Lornal kept blocking and parrying the blows and then finally saw an opening. He darted in and past Jake while swinging his lightsaber to cut his side.

I gritted my teeth as the very tip of the blade grazed into my skin. Ignoring the pain that blossomed from the side, I noticed that he has overreached his swing and I stabbed inward at the upper arm. A feint, as my real strike went for the leg.

Lornal moved his saber to block the attack to his arm then realized it was a feint. It was too late as Jake's blade had made a long gash on his leg. He stood up, ignoring the pain. He numbed the pain and healed the leg enough to be able to move on it. Then he waited for his opponent to attack.

He's weakened by the gash. Better end it. I thought. I focused the Force around his neck and began to squeeze, hoping to begin a combination attack upon my foe.

Lornal felt the pressure tightening on his neck. He concentrated and sent out a TK wave at Jake. The wave distracted Jake and Lornal was freed. He jumped off his good leg and did a midair flip while striking at Jake's head.

I smirked, momentarily ducked, then stuck my blade out to chop at the legs...

Lornal deflected the attack with his blade, landed, and instantly stabbed backwards at Jake's waist.

I whirled to deflect the blow, then slashed forward to take care of either hilt or hand.

Lornal groaned as his second lightsaber went flying away. He then thought This is the perfect time to try that new technique my Master taught me. Holding both of his hands together, he concentrated and poured the Force into the space between his hands. Compressing it to make it stronger but gradually enlarging it.

Hang on...it couldn't be... I narrowed my eyes as I saw the Sith create something almost familiar...

The ball of energy Lornal was holding was about the size of a soccerball. All the energy made it look almost like a fireball so many people thought it was magic and not a Force technique. This was the reason why it was called the Abyssal Fire spell. Lornal unleashed this on Jake now. It was not powerful enough to wipe out the building but it was still strong enough to burn him seriously on most of his body. The ball of energy shot towards Jake and when it was touching him it exploded. Lornal covered his eyes as did Lazarus as the explosion released a blinding flash of light that filled the room.

When the light cleared, Lornal was probably expecting a charred corpse. Unfortunately for him, I was about three feet back, with the remains of a chair I telekinesed in front of me. It was a close call, as the burning tip of my (very) long braided hair and my singed clothes could confirm. A second slower with the TK, and I'd be dead. I put out the candle and focused the Force again.

"Two can play at that game..." I breathed quietly, narrowing my eyes and tossing a ball of electricity at him in retaliation.

Lornal blinked. Jake had deflected most of the damage with a chair. He created another ball of fire and fired it at the ball of electricity. The two balls collided and cancelled each other out. Lornal created two more fireballs and threw them. One went towards Jake's head while the other was flying at his legs.

I lept to the side, avoiding both balls as they hit the wall next to me instead of myself and lashed out with a Force Throw/Lightning combination (Palpatine used that on Yoda).

Lornal got caught by the manuever and was thrown down. He managed to catch the Force Lightning in his hands again, this time he supercharged it with some fireballs and tossed it all back at Jake.

OOC: Poor Dod.. He's going to have such a mess when this is finished.

I dodged again, but one of the fireballs caught me in the chest, and I was thrown onto a table, breaking it and I nearly went out like a light, my clothes smoking. As it is, I laid quite still...

Lornal staggered up quite exhausted from all the battling. He made a small fireball to finish Jake off. He was wary though as he thought it might be a trick. He stood a little distance from him and tossed the fireball onto his chest.

Damn! It didn't work! I cursed inwardly as I was forced to roll to avoid the flame and then got up to my feet, crouching for a final attack. He's not one of those ego-filled Sith who goes up and gloats over his opponent's dead body, after all. Must have read the Evil Overlord's List or something. I flashed my saber and with a sudden burst of speed, thrust it towards Lornal's stomach...

OOC: The Sith Lord can always find another apprentice...

OOC: Since you aimed for the stomach chances are he's going to live. Unless the lightsaber goes all the way through and breaks the spine..

Lornal tried to back away but he was too slow. The lightsaber impaled him in the stomach. He fell over backwards. "Atrum Vis. Come in! Get Lornal out of here and give him medical attention fast." Lazarus used the Force to speed up. He charged at Jake and swung at Jake's lightsaber arm which was still holding the lightsaber stuck in Lornal's stomach. As Lazarus started swinging Lornal was teleported back to the ship where a medical crew instantly started operating on him. As Lazarus swung at Jake's arm with one hand he used the other to immobilze it through the Force and keep it in place.

OOC; At least he's out of play...

IC:
I pulled the saber out of the stomach, with considerable effort due to the Force wall, and managed to withdraw enough to meet the Sith Lord's blade and parry it aside. For a more skilled opponent like him, I went on the defensive, giving ground when I could.

Lazarus went on the offence using the Makashi Form. Then he concentrated and brought half of the table Jake broke behind him. He kept fighting but at a slightly slower pace. Then he used the Force to fling the table at Jake and then feigned a stab to make Jake jump back and into the table.

OOC:
Whatever, if you guys are going to do two pages without me, and then just go ahead and stop fighting with me to fight with him, Ageaol, I'm out.

Lazarus went on the offence using the Makashi Form. Then he concentrated and brought half of the table Jake broke behind him. He kept fighting but at a slightly slower pace. Then he used the Force to fling the table at Jake and then feigned a stab to make Jake jump back and into the table.
I swirled to slice through the table, sent the pieces at Lazarus and then whirled back to meet any offensive maneuver the Sith Lord may make...

Lazarus deflected the table pieces and sent them rushing at Andre. As Jake whirled around to face him Lazarus sped around and sliced his back. Then he sped back around to his front and stabbed at his legs.

OOC: No, no! Stay! We have that artifact to destroy!

IC: "Andre!" I yelled as I parried the Sith's attacks.

OOC: Come back and double team me. If not I'll just knock you out after a while. You're not getting to that artifact if I can help it.

IC: Lazarus laughed at Jake's concern for Andre. "You can't help him now." Lazarus built up an Abyssal Fire in his hands. His was much quicker and was the size of a watermelon. He then supercharged the Abyssal Fire with Force Lightning. He sent the crackling ball of fire at Jake and covered his eyes to protect them from the flash of light when the ball exploded.

Oh, shit! I wish Taylor was here, he'd do something about that fireball better than I could! My mind screamed as I dove to the side, the crackling heat giving me first-degree burns on my face as it missed me by a centimeter. The fireball exploded on the wall, starting a large fire. I could have used another way to escape it, but it would have given me away as surely as if a giant neon sign crying "I am a Masaki" was on my chest.

Lazarus rushed in with his lightsaber and aimed to knock either saber or hand away. He made a small suit around him with the Force to filter out the heat and gasses.

OOC: I'll stop here for Laskon.

IC:
I began parrying his strikes once more.

OOC:
Yarr, sorry, my brother Downloaded Gunz yesterday...its very additictive. I'll be more active.


IC:

Rushing back through the door while grabbing his lightsaber, Andre swung his at an opening in the Sith Lord's defence.

With one quick and fluid move Lazarus blocked the attack. With another one he attempted to knock Andre's lightsaber away. At the same time he used one hand to charge and fire a Force Lightning at him.

OOC: Gunz?
And is Konohamaru's unconscious body still lying around?

Free online game where you shoot people, very good graphics and very fun.

IC:

Using his lightsaber to block the lightning, he aimed a kick at his torso.

Lazarus took his lightsaber and twirled it in front of him to cut off Andre's foot. Then he raced forward under the leg and stuck at his other leg at the knee.

Using Ataro to whirl backwards through the air, he landed right where Lazarus was about to be, and engaged him in a wave of flirying strikes.

This was becoming harder, though, he could not know what a toll it could have put on Jake, holding off a Sith master, but was still not as experienced in the force for this.

I was about to charge in to help Andre, when I stopped for a moment, and sent a quick message to him. Does Johnas know where the artifact is?

Lazarus continues attacking and blocking oblivious to the conversation going around him.
