Adi-Wan

*Adi-Wan just shook his head slightly as he used the Force to feel the infuriated thoughts rushing through Impede's youthful head. He narrowed his eyes to slits, and spoke as he returned.* "Impede ... you fail, yet again ... your anger surpasses your patience. To be honest with you ... if you have the desire to become a Jedi - you are too reckless. Too hateful ... to angered ... too .... impatient. You will learn your place, young one. You will learn to check your anger, or fall victim to the dark side of the force. To be honest with you ... i wouldn't want to train you, for the simple fact that the Dark Side festers inside of you ... you're fighting it, but alas - it is winning the battle." *He continued to shake his head in disbelief at such an action - before some of the highest ranked Jedi in the Order - and he'd still act in such an order? He turned his attention to Hou-Jo.* "Indeed - we are taking time to make our moves - yet, the Jedi Order take awhile to move ... this is the way of things - we've always been calm, and collected in our maneuvers - we do not fly off of the handle ... and act wreckless ... you should know this, Poleb. The wheels of attack move slowly - but, strike dreadfully upon those that receive it's wrath."

*Adi-Wan looked deep into the eyes, and heart, of the young Impede that stood before him ... still deciding whether he wanted to leave or not. Speaking in a flat, cold voice ... he continued.* "The life of a Jedi is not filled with ... personal emotions. You are not to do what is best for you ... or your family ... you are expected, and required to do what is in the best interests of those that would not have the ability to defend themselves from greater evils that would seek to destroy them ... you are clouding your vision with what you know. Love. You must unlearn .... what you have learned ..."

*Adi-Wan nodded, this child was definately not willing, and/or capable of learning the ways of the Jedi.* "If you leave this room, that is a direct act of insubordination .... and you will be banned from the Jedi Order. I leave that choice to you, young one ... learn your patience ... or you will lose your privelages to our Order ... it is your decision to make." *Adi-Wan's voice was cold, and gave no hint of sarcasm. He was serious ... if this one wanted to leave .... he'd turn his back on the direct order from a Jedi Council Member ... and therefore - would be in violation of the Jedi Order's rules of conduct.*

*Adi-Wan watched the young one's actions.* "PATIENCE ... young one ... you need not to be anywhere besides where the Force has taken you ... and that is here, and now. You will not go to Kashyyyk ... you will learn your place ... and your patience." *Adi-Wan seemed to be a little rude with his comments - but, afterall - other's inability to remain patient is what caused him so much grief, on so many occasions.*

*Adi-Wan nodded to Impede, and motioned for him to sit, as well.* "Young one, there is still much to learn, you have ... the Sith are here, as we have signed a Treaty ... a cease-fire, with their Order. Not only that ... but, we will be working in conjunction with them closely, to plan the demise of our threat." *He smiled at the young learner* "Did you not happen to feel that even in this room, sits another Sith? Raynuk is not of the Jedi Order, rather - of the Sith Order. Can you honestly say that you've sat here, in this Force-amplified room, and not felt that he serves the Darkside of the Force?"

*Adi-Wan was the last of the three "late arrivals" to enter the room. He noticed that they were all sitting around in chairs, and contemplating their next moves. His robes sagged low over his face, and concealed the mind of Adi-Wan. He walked in, easily one of the tallest in the room, towards one of the three last remaining availale chairs. He motioned for Zar and Brook to take the two next to one another, as he sat nearly across from them on the other side of the table that separated them. He recognized almost all of the faces in the room ... a few, he did not.* *He pulled back his robes, and began to speak.* "Sorry for our late arrival ... if you could fill us in on what we're doing now ... it would be much obliged .... "

*Adi-Wan nodded at Zar's comments* "Indeed ... at least, i can say ... that you are an honorable Sith, Zar ... don't make me a fool by disproving that statement ... " *He looked over to Brook, and Zar - they seemed ... happy. How could that be? Who knew? He certainly didn't ... it seemed that his life was without many emotions ... fear .... one of them ... happiness .... was another.* *They came upon the entrance to Sly's residence. He looked down .... and cleared his mind for a moment. He closed his eyes - clearing his thoughts, and then promptly shut off his atunement with the Force as much as he could. Over his shoulder, he spoke without turning.* "It would be wise to minimize your atunement with the Force - as it is over-empowered in this residence ... you will see what i mean, as we enter." *He prepared to knock, just seconds before the door opened. He smirked to himself. Apparently they were "felt" - and their presences welcomed. Adi-Wan took a step into the room, and felt the flooding of his mind with the Force. He stepped in, and stood momentarily, before he felt out the others - they were in the back room. He turned, and motioned for the others to lead.* "After you ... "

Just a note: Dalla - you are dead. You came looking for a fight with the Jedi here, you hate them because of what they did to your father. You came there - with the intention - to kill him. Another note: No one in this RP is the "chosen one" - therefore - you will not / can not feel everything living on the planet at the apprentice/padawan level. Something of that level of force-concentration would only be available to the status of: Lord/Master. So, next time you feel the need to over-glorify your apprenticeship, by giving yourself powers you're not allowed to have ... you will die again - Your droids can not be controlled by your character, either ... you're done posting for 3 days. Sorry, Dalla - but, next time ... do some research on your opponent - and see how quickly they're allowed to knock you off ... If you're thinking that you were betrayed by the Jedi .... you are dead wrong - YOU'RE the one that came to try to enforce your will upon the present Jedi ... and you were dealt with in a swift, and just manner. One that would be expected from a near Jedi Master. I'm editing that garbage outta your post - so that some newer users don't get confused. Good Day.

*Tristin Stellar - of the Jedi Order - was merely a Jedi Knight in his own mind. However, the Jedi Council, and the powers that be, decided that he was capable of serving the Jedi Order on another level. As a leader - as a Council member. He suddenly was hit with a brief, but concise Force-Message from Adi-Wan Tinova.* "Tristin ... it's me, Adi-Wan ... you've been elected to the Jedi Council - congratulations. Now, with that being said, your presence is needed in the oncoming decision-making processes that we have ... will you kindly return to the Jedi Base of Operations immediately, to add your opinion on the situations at hand? We will see you soon ... " *Adi-Wan's voice faded from Tristin's mind.*

*Adi-Wan nods at Kiya* "Indeed, you were a little harsh ... however, you must remember ... it was only a mistake ... perhaps they can help us repair the stabilizer down on the planet, because no doubt - they're here to visit the moon." *Adi-Wan motioned towards the comm, and opened a communications line down the Smuggler's Moon - and prepared to hail the small base that housed the clustered Smuggler's.* OOC: To the Smuggler's Moon Thread, ne?

*Adi-Wan receives the Force-Message from Eas-San Fenrir - and replies* "Fenrir ... i would like to speak with you personally about such a matter ... Sly ... what's happened .... ? Meet me at these coordinates ... " *gives the coordinates to The Smuggler's Moon to Fenrir* - "Meet me here, and I shall discuss such a matter with you ... however, you must first return to the Jedi Base of Operations - and retrieve Orrick, my padawan from there. Bring him with you ... " *Adi-Wan re-opened his eyes ... and spoke to Kiza* "Now ... what were you saying, sorry ... i just received a Force-Message from an old friend's padawan ... somethings wrong ... terribly wrong, but, i won't know what until we reach the moon...."

*Adi-Wan snickered* "It's alright ... there's not a whole lot that is set for the future ... you can receive a vision ... and through the good graces of the Force ... it's possible that you can alter the future by what you've learned ... maybe i'm just in denial of the fact that we're going to be exterminated ... maybe not ... perhaps ... i'm just 'optimistic' - which is never a bad trait." *He looked back at her - and laughed* "You did fine back there ... the number one thing that one has to do to defeat a Sith ... is engage them in combat ... otherwise, they'll defeat you without a fight ... you engaged her in combat ... and didn't back down ... you've done fine. Oh, i almost forgot ... i've got something that you might want, as well ..." *He reached into his tunic, and removed a short, throwing blade that looked awfully familiar to Kiya ... it was her blade that she tossed at Tarrian. Adi-Wan used the force to pull it to him, after it had hit the wall behind Tarrian. He kept it, and figured that one day, their paths would cross in hopes that he'd get to thank her for her courageous efforts.* "I retrieved this for you ... i figured you might want it back ... after barely missing Tarrian with it ... " - he chuckled, "The blades a little dampened, but, i'm sure you're just happy to have it back, no?" *He leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes ... forcing the vision that he'd had of Kaylynn back into his mind's forefront. He spoke to Kiya about it afterwards.* "It is not for certain that she will defeat the Sith as well ... but, she's power hungry, now doubt. The reason why they've not wiped her out, is because the Sith would have to face the wrath of the Emperor, Ar-Pharazon, as well as Tarrian, and Bishop of Battle ... the Husband, and father of Kaylynn ... three very deadly sith. Tarrian used to be a Jedi, you know ... ? She fell to the darkside through temptations of power, no one's for sure ... but it WAS Ar-Pharazon that turned her from the light ... i've caused her to look back now and again ... she still has a heart ... she's not totally evil ... but, she appears to be dead on the outside. One day ... she may return to the lightside ... I am uncertain, however, if that's fact. We shall see only in time." *He opened up his eyes, and looked at the ceiling of the cockpit ... something was flashing - a warning beacon that they were closing in on the Smuggler's Moon - but, it was still a short trek until they needed to pull out of hyperspace.* OOC: There, Happy, Chazi ... ? - lol - g'Night!

*Adi-Wan could hear everything that she was thinking ... he'd have to cut back on the ... "flirtatious" activities. He just looked out the side of the cockpit window, and replied, "It's not a problem ... regardless of what you think ... i could've used your help back there ... those were some of the most deadly Sith in existance right now ... "* *He turned his head, and faced her - and she continued to look forward, and check some of the console's readouts ... "how funny," he thought to himself ... he continued.* "Tarrian ... the one that confronted you with, ya know," he nodded towards her collar bone, "old rocky over there ... is the sister of the Emperor of the Sith ... Tarrian Skywalker. No relation to the original Skywalker family (( )). The one that was sitting in the booth with me ... was Brooke, or Jedi Gal of Darkness ... (JGoD). She, basically, was after me ... because i own something of her's ... ya see this, " - He pulled out the Lightsaber of the Sith, which was now encased in Carbonite, frozen for eternity. "This was her lightsaber that she used whenever she fell at the Sith Temple during our raid upon it ... i was awarded this as a token to remember the valiant efforts that i made, which contributed to the success of the attack." *He looked back out the side window, as Kiya turned to face him, and felt the lightsaber* "Some efforts ... i've been haunted by the Sith that i slayed in my dreams since then ... this has been a great time since then ... as you may well know ... i wonder sometimes .. if it's just better to give the saber back, and see if that relieves me of the stress that i receive in slumber ... the haunted shadows of the victims of my lightsaber. I wonder ... " *He turned to face her again* "The teenager - was Kaylynn ... or "The One" as she is called in some circles ... it is believed that she will be the downfall of both Jedi and Sith alike ... and she will reign on her throne as the Empress of the Universe ... there are visions from others, and myself, that show her upon a tower of skulls, and she's striking down Jedi Masters, and Knights with her mere mind ... killing senselessly, those that seek to destroy her ... i, myself, was in that vision ... and I, myself, was also a victim of her's ... but, only time will tell what the true path of "The One" is ... The others were too insignificant to mention ... just apprentices. I could've handled myself ... but, it would've been hard ... i just wanted to thank you for your bravery, and belief in justice ... " *He gave her a small peck on the cheek* "It could've been a lot worse if we'd met them anywhere other then a Neutral Zone." - He replaced the Lightsaber of JGoD back into it's rightful spot, along his back ... lengthwise.

*Adi-Wan continues to mend the broken bone, and fix the broken vessels, it appeared as if he was almost finished. It wasn't a bad break ... but, a break nonetheless ... and it would need medical attention eventually. He remembered doing this sort of healing process for Reagan, whenever she had flatlined in the swamps of Dagobah, "It'll be good to see her again ... " - his mind was wandering ... he needed to stay focused, so, he re-aimed his attention towards searching for any left-over fibers torn, or fragments busted.* *He heard a weak, "Yeah, it was broken" from Kiya ... and he opened his eyes, as he was only a couple of inches from her face, and he just looked into her eyes ... and laughed ... he responded with, "Just another second ... don't make me lose concentration again, ya hear? I might end up tearing the bone completely from your body on accident ..." - and he gave her a smirk.* *Within a few seconds - he was done, and he leaned back, and looked - examining the skin from the outter appearence ... looked good as new. No bruise anymore - the clot was gone, and bone healed ... he blew over where the break was at - and said, "Good as new ... " and winked at her*

*Adi-Wan suppressed a chuckle* "No ... it's good news .. well, the bad news is ... that your collarbone, is in fact, broken, however .. the good news is that i can fix it for you ... that is, of course if you'd like ... Never know ... you might wanna actually consult a physician, or something about that ... " *He pointed to the obviously broken bone, and they laughed for a minute. He then told her to relax, and to close her eyes for a second ... that it would be a minute of so before the bone actually was mended.* "This might feel a little awkward, keep in mind that your bone is being forced to move back together ... and all i will do is accellerate the healing process that is naturally inside of the body ... okay?" *Adi-Wan leaned over her, placing a hand on her open necked, upon the bare skin ... and his hand began to glow a yellow light, shortly thereafter. He closed his eyes, and began to see the bone, he visioned the break, and saw the blood beginning to cause a clot around the surrounding area, to protect the bone from any further damage. He unwound the blood clot, and temporarily stopped the flow of blood through the vessels in her collar bone region. He moved the bone with his mind's eye ... and fused it together, collecting fragments that surrounded ... placing the puzzle peices back together, until they fit. They were back ... now he just needed a few more seconds to redistribute the flow of blood through to the area, and release the tension of the broken vessels, healing them, as well.*

*Adi-Wan laughed at Kiya's comment about the 'pain in the neck' - he liked her ... she seemed to be a sort of goofball-like person, with a tough exterior ... sorta like himself in a way. He closed his eyes ... and reopened them, saying gently, "I've got good, and bad news for you ... which would you prefer first ... ?"

*After a moment of sitting in the chair ... he realized that his ship was actually placed here for hiding purposes during the Republic attack. It flew out - unmanned, and passed through the Republican guards, and made a safe landing in the desert of Tatooine. He called his homing beacon, and had it lock onto his source. It came hurling - low to the ground - and took it about 3 minutes to reach Adi-Wan's location.* *Before leaving to get into the ship - he walked up to Sly ... and placed a hand on his shoulder* "Sly ... I'm going to Coruscant ... i feel the need to ponder the actions that have happened to me ... and get away from everything ... including the Force ... and be safe for awhile - seeing as the Last Call is a neutral zone ... what trouble could i get into there, eh? Anyways ... bud, i wanted to tell you goodbye for now ... and that this is not our final chapter ... it has only begun ... I will see you when i return ... be safe, old friend." *He hugged Sly, and jumped into the cockpit ofThe Reconciliation - he customized Z-95 Headhunter, setting a course for Coruscant - the heart of the Republic, and the Bar known to all as the safe-haven of the planet. Something told him that he'd not see Sly in a long time ... but, he just shook the feeling ... and lifted off - heading into space - as the stars streaked across the Heads Up Display, and cockpit windows - he said aloud, "May the Force be with you ... always ..." - and was gone - hurtling towards Coruscant*

*Adi-Wan scooped himself up, and trampled, half-heartedly up the ramp, to the cabin, where he plopped down, and sat. Almost dead from using that EMP ... it was at this point ... this part of his life ... that he'd decided that he would never use such a skill again ... for fear that it would shut off his life immediately ... unless, of course ... unless there were a great many lives that needed saving ... and only then, would he deem it acceptable. He sat in his chair ... and exhaulted* "Sly ... whenever we're getting outta here ... i need to stop by the Last Call ... on Coruscant ... i'm in the market for a new ship ... and a little R'N'R ... y'know ... ? If you could just drop me off ... i've got some thinking to do ... "

Before the Battle "Orrick ... we will discuss this further whenever the time is right ... but, your fears must be put aside for the battle that lies ahead ... focus. You are not wrong ... fate ... it seems ... has run it's course with your life ... and it is only up to you to understand it ... or try to. Things happen for a reason. Now, focus ... i'll need you to protect me during my time of vulnerability ... understood?" *Orrick nodded* During the Battle *Adi-Wan clenched his fists at his sides, and slowly raised them from waist level up to shoulder level, and whenever they were fully extended forward ... he let out a defeaning shriek ... a cry, or rather a release. Orrick continued blocking shots that came in their direction. Adi-Wan's eyes rolled back into his head, and he was in a state of being on another plane. He concentrated fully, and pushed his fists forward With an electrical shockwave exploding from his arms ... and it passed with accelerating speed towards the palace.* *The massive shockwave was ... in all regards ... Adi-Wan's mind traveling faster then anything in this place ... and it was his mind, unwinding the infastructure of the electrical outlets that powered the palace. He zoomed with his mind, traveling down cabling networks towards the center of the power source ... he saw it with his minds eye ... the operators working to power the palace. The electromagnetic pulse created by Adi-Wan shot through them ... not harming them, until he blasted the pulse through the main generators ... deactivating them immediately, and causing a small explosion inside with his mind. The explosion caused a chain reaction ... and fire expanded ... eating the oxygen that fueled it ... headed outwards, gobbling up more plastic encased wiring, and expanding until it hit the outer most regions of the generator ... and the erruption occurred. A small blast coupled with several inner blasts sent shrapnel into the operators ... and sent them flying backwards into the wall behind them ... dead.* Outside of the Palace *Orrick continued to block shots, and engage enemies that made movements towards he and his master ... until suddenly - a small explosion, muffled by the depth of it, was heard ... and the palace guns were offline. Orrick turned around to catch a glimpse of his master falling towards the ground ... and he ran to him* (Adi-Wan) "Orrick ... i'm fine ... get them out ... hurry. Use the force ... dig deep ... you still have it in you ... fight, my padawan ... get our bretheren free. I'll move in behind you in a moment ... " *Adi-Wan took several deep breathes as Orrick headed toward the palace ... "Such pain," he thought to himself ... it felt as if death had brushed my shoulder ... power, it seems ... comes not without a balancing control ... so, that was the trick ... being a Lightsider ... using my abilities ... it'll kill me. One day ... would i be able to recover from something of this magnitude ... ? I can't even breath, hardly ... damn. GET UP - gotta get up ... GET UP, DAMMIT ... here we go ... " *Adi-Wan rose to his feet, and continued forward, at a staggered pace.*

*Adi-Wan looked straight into Orrick's eyes, and they together stopped moving for a brief moment while the others continued to walk.* "Orrick ... it is time ... Sly believes that you do not belong here .... Sly says it is too dangerous to bring a padawan into the "Lion's Den" ... however ... that is exactly the situation that i wanted to place you in ... you see, Orrick ... this is not a regular mission for you ... this is your Jedi Trial. I believe that you are ready to become a Jedi Knight ... and it is only a matter of time before you will be ready to pass along to another what i've taught you. So, based upon how you perform, and if you survive the situation that we've placed you into ... you may become a Jedi Knight as early as tomorrow ... do you understand?" *Orrick nodded* (Adi-Wan) "Good ... then, let us proceed, and remember ... this should be your finest hour ... and I believe that you shall perform." *He placed a hand in patting, reinforcing, nature to Orrick's right shoulder, and they continued to walk. Orrick had something on his mind, and his mind was telling him more then ever now, to speak before it might be too late ... to clear his thoughts ... so he would momentarily. Adi-Wan continued to travel into position ... and once they reached their destination ... all bets were off. He remembered the last time they entered the Hutt Palace ... he was "Jedi-Napped" by the Dark Jedi Order. An ... interesting ... ordeal, to say the least. This time ... he would have no one but the Force, the Jedi around him ... and himself to rely upon for survival. This time ... the stakes were for DarkJedi K'munee ... his Master ... and good friend ... he would not allow him to fall to the villainous treachery of the Hutt Clan ... he would avenge his death if they took his life ... and wreak havok like never seen before ... but that was another path that lies unwalked ... another chapter that has not been written. For now ... he would stick to the same beaten path of Jedi Infiltration, and Rescue ... of other Jedi.*

*As the Lightsiders traveled towards the Dune Sea through the atmosphere of Tatooine, Adi-Wan turned from his meditation, and his eyes opened. He felt a presence of someone ... someone that was looking for him ... someone that he didn't know ... and this person didn't know him ... but, however ... they still searched. They continued on their course towards the Dune Sea*

*The ship of Jade Dragon whipped low, and fast across the floor of the Tatooine desert landscape, far below any radars that would see them. They moved ... stealthily ... across the baren wasteland. Their intentions were pure ... not intended to intervene with the Hutts ... as they might suspect, had a Jade's ship popped up onto their sensors. However, they steered clear of the Hutts completely, getting to Adi-Wan, and Orrick's hidden ships - they stood on the sandy land, and Adi-Wan spoke to Master Jade Dragon* "I've left the coordinates to the Jedi Stronghold in your Nav computer ... please, Master Dragon ... find your way back to the Order ... we'll be a lot better off, if this is the case. However, i'm badly needed in the training facilities to help the training of the Padawans, and hopefuls .... " - Looking towards Orrick, he says, "Follow me out, and stay low ... once we're around Mos Espa ... we'll bank hard, and hit the atmosphere ... and punch out - headed back to Sullust. Follow me, my young Padawan learener ... " *With that ... the two Jedi left the desert planet - headed for "home" ... Sullust*

***Sorry for the Double-Post*** *Adi-Wan received the notice - and the Jedi there were on the move ... * (( Get to the Hutt Palace thread - quickly ... it has begun ))

*Master Adi-Wan and Padawan Orrick both of the Jedi Order pull out of hyperspace above Tatooine ... which was always the easiest planet to gain access to land at ... why? Because no one controlled the traffic ... this planet was controlled mainly by the Hutts - no matter - they landed just outside of the Radar scope of the Hutt's Palace - and put down at the specified Coordinates ... and prepared for their support ... they were in a position to move out, and render assistance in a matter of minutes ... it was only a matter of time ... Adi-Wan could see the future ... and knew it's outcome ... they'd do fine.* *Adi-Wan jumped out, and left the engine's running on his ship - leaving less time to get to the Hutt Palace once the call was made. He felt Sly's presence, and spoke through the Force, "Sly ... we're here ... waiting on Tares, and Ara-Lai .... we'll be there ... on your mark, " Adi-Wan received a reply ... short, and brief ... "... on my mark, May the Force be with you, " - and now it was the waiting game ...*

OOC: GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY ... will one of you two please post something that's meaningful ... meaning ... something that's more then a 1 to 2 lined sentence? Sheesh ... get on with it ... please ... lol.
