Tashkri

Tash nods his approval once again, and voices his thoughts. Quite interesting, I assure you. How are you capable of making that stick have more power than the branch? He awaits for John's answer.

Tash watches John's display with awe, witnessing the power and destruction of this new spell. With a wry smile, he says, It looks as if you need a breathmint. Seriously, this new spell is extemely powerful and probably helpful one day. You have managed to learn much in that little amount of time. He nods his approval, and waits to see what else John has to show him.

Tash listens to John's questions with a critical ear, and was not surprised to find that he had learned more of his spells. He follows John to their next destination.

OOC: S.T., no crap I fell off. I caught myself and moved myself back on the roof. You can't control my actions. I already had a talk with John about this. IC: Turning to John, Tash asks him, Did you learn anything new on your little quest?

Tash senses through the Force what Sabertooth is trying to do, and realizes the futility of it. When S.T. gets shot out of the hurricane and knocks into Tash, he uses the force to catch himself and stay on the roof as he watches S.T. fall to the ground. He banishes his hurricane, and realizes that he had gotten some spectators during the fight. He jumps down to meet with the new, unknown person (Dalla, thats you) and John.

OOC: First - Mods, sorry for the OOC interruption, but I haven't been able to catch Sabertooth off the board. Second - S.T., I took away your animals, John ran off, and you are about to be blown off of the roof unless you do something. Lets ignore your last post and proceed from my last. IC: Tash still stands on the roof with his massive hurricane, waiting for S.T. to try something.

*Tash remains turned around as Sabertooth destroys not only Tash's but also his own cyclone. He senses him summon his water beasts again.* Aren't you paying attention to me? You just wasted your time and energy by destroying your own summon. You must learn to convert other's powers to your own use. Still facing away from Sabertooth, he summons a cyclone that dwarfed his old one, using not only his old storm, but Sabertooth's storm as well. You fuel my power with your failures. he intones to S.T. As before, he sends his storm at S.T.'s creatures, and absorbs the water and chlorophyll into the cyclone. It now turns into a hurricane of tremendous proportions, covering the entire roof. S.T. is barely able to stay on, but Tash is unaffected. He had "cemented" his feet to the ground with the force. He waits to see what S.T. was going to do.

Have fun, John. Tash says to John as he jumps off to practice his spells. Seeing Sabertooth's summons, he says with a smirk, You should pay attention to what your enemies summon. Without letting him figuring out what he meant, he sent his cyclone at Sabertooth's cats, sucking the water and chlorophyll into his cyclone, and turning it into a hurricane of tremendous proportions. I now have you at a distinct disadvantage, says Tash as he sends his storm to the middle of the roof. Not only have I destroyed your summons, but I added them to my own. You must learn to use what will weaken your opponent, and strengthen yourself in the process. Turning his back to Sabertooth, he says to him, Try again. He lowers himself into the force so that he will know if Sabertooth tries to attack him.

Tash hears Sabertooth's decision to go back to the Academy, and follows in his trail. Reaching their destination, he takes a jump and soon finds himself on the top of the temple. Summoning molecules of dirt and dust, he slowly starts to form a cyclone, growing larger and larger. Moving it to the side of the roof, he awaits for the others to come up. OOC: Sabertooth, if we die, we regenerate into this form again and again. We only truly die if we leave the planet without BZ's approval.

*Tash nods his approval at how John is able to overcome the elemental.* Good, you must learn to overcome all obstacles through experience, not through arrogance, he tells John. Lowering his arms, he lets the dragon collapse and fill the lake back up. Turning to Sabertooth, he says to him as well, You are starting to learn, as well. Feel the force around you, and use it to control all around you. Adressing both of them, My test is over, for now. Sabertooth, you will choose our next destination. He waits for him to start going.

After running for a decent amount of time, they reached a lake that Tash had visited earlier. Turning to John, he tells him, On my original trip, I learned to manipulate water molecules. As you should know, water is the enemy of fire. Summon your demon, and see if you can hold it against this. Raising his arms, the water in the lake forms a gigantic column, and then forms into the likeness of a ferocius dragon.

Yes, I remember you. You tried to put a knife in my back, didn't you?Tash replies with a malicious little grin. All is forgiven, however. Turning to John, he says We still have a little bit to go to get to the place for your test. With that, he turns and starts to run, letting John and Sabertooth follow in his wake.

OOC: Sabertooth, we are all spirits. We can talk to you, see you, and interact with you. Mods: Sorry for the OOC interruption, but this was important.

OOC: Divesting? Haven't heard of that before. IC: Why would I read what it does? You're probably going to tell me anyways., Tash replies. Listening to the description, his ethereal mouth starts to drop as he hears of the devastating destruction of the spell. So you think you're ready for my test? If so, then follow me. He walks over to the edge of the plateau and jumps off. He waits at the bottom for John to join him.

Tash walks over to see what John is pointing at in his book. He reads the title "Sith Abyssal Fire". Oh no he says, Maybe I should do my test on you when you try this. He sits on a boulder and awaits John's answer.

Tash wakes to sun glaring in his eyes. Sitting up, he looks around for John and sees him being a crazed-pyromaniac. At least he managed to control that dragon-thing he thinks to himself. Catching John's message, he smiles as well and says back There are more places around here with other things for you to burn. I have a little test for demon planned out, but that will happen when you think you are ready.

Tash listened to John's story intently, taking in every detail in case he would need it again. Still trying to listen, but having to fight off exhaustion, he can only pay partial attention to the story. Once John finishes, he falls into a blissful sleep, with John doing the same shortly afterwards.

As they reach the spot Tash goes to make camp, while John goes off a few meters. Just as he is starting to get comfortable, he starts to smell smoke. Alarmed, he jumps up and seeks out John. Seeing a rock covered in ash, and the smell of fire in the air, Tash says to John, "I think its time you begin explaining... but first, you might want to save whats left of your boots." With that Tash force grabs the smoldering remains and floats them over to John. They walk over to the campsite and sit down. Start talking. He sits back and awaits John's answer.

Tash looks on at John curiously as he enters the temple and soon comes back out. John says to him, "I do not know where it is you wish to go or why, but you can lead us, I simply need one open spot where I can practice the skills I wish to develop." Tash nods, and says, "There was a plateau that I came across on journey. It is barren wastelands all around." John nods his approval, and they set off at force speed. After traveling for a while, they reach a cliff that marks the start of the aforementioned plateau. Tash sends a force message to John You'll have to jump to reach the spot. With that he leaps to the air and soon sets down on the top to await John.

Tash runs for hours, not stopping for any reason his body might offer. He has to stop, however, when a large cliff looms up in front of him. He sits down to meditate on the problem. What if I use levitation on myself in conjunction with normal jumping and enhancing my legs. He stands up and tries out his new theory. He backs up a little and takes a running start. He starts to jump as he reaches the bottom of the cliff, and uses the force to help lift himself up. As he starts to rise, he delves into the force to find the power to allow him to clear the cliff. Nearing the top, he starts to feel as if his jump is losing its potentcy. With a final burst of power from fear of failing, he lands softly on his feet. With a quick smile of triumph, he keeps traveling onward, to his next destination. Having had to jump up a few cliffs and down some others, Tash starts to feel confident in his ability of force jumping. He searches for a lake to try out his newest brain child. After a little bit of searching, he comes across a lake. He plunges his body into the force, works on pulling the water molecules together in a path, strong enough to support his weight. His mind is starting to become fatigued, but he ignores it, and concentrates his power on the lake. After approx. a half hour had passed, Tash slumps to the ground momentarily as his power reaches the dregs of his mind. He gets up and starts to walk across the water, ready to jump if his path would collapse on him. Fortunately, it is able to hold him, and he crosses the lake without incident. Pleased with his successes, he starts to loop back towards the general area of the academy. After a while of running, he sees the spirit form of John in the distance. He speeds up and catches up to his ex-nemesis. Saying to John, "I hope we will be able to put our past differences away, and join together while we are on our quests." He puts out his hand to see if John will accept his offer.

Tash bowes to Lord Zar and walks out of the academy. He ponders his destination and decides to let the darkness guide him on his journey. He starts to run with force speed, oblivious to his surroundings. The darkness of the planet guides him on his way, but where he was heading, he was unsure.

Tash starts to walk to the other end of the hall. Upon reaching the wall, he turns to face Lord Zar, Lady Brooke, and Abaddon. He begins to sprint towards them, using the force to enhance his speed, and starts to work on the molecules slowing him down. He begins lose focus on his running, and let that come naturally to him. His entire attention on the air, he starts to push the molecules to the sides, and starts to feel himself speeding up. He lets the force control the diverting of the air, and starts to sink into himself, letting what he is doing start to form a pattern in his mind. Now it would come easier to him the next time. Reaching the opposite end of the room, amazed at how little time it took to cross than it normally would have. He bowes to Lord Zar, waiting for a critique on his performance.

Tash feels his soul rise out of his dead body. This body has a translucent, shimmering look and feel to it. "What has happened to me?" he thinks to himself. As soon as the though enters his head, Lord Zar explains all. With a sinking feeling in his stomach, or more correctly, where his stomach used to be, he looks down at his spirit body in despair. A sudden thought enters his mind as he looks around at the others who were now spirits. "If this isn't a real body, then I'll be able to push myself harder and farther than ever before." A wicked grin lights up his ghostial face. He force grabs his old sith saber and brings it to him; along with the vibroblades buried in his old body. He puts the blades into his belt for later use, and ignites the saber, looking for John, and waiting for a rematch.

We're just giving you time to catch up on your RP love life.

BZ, I did not say that anyone was cheating, just that they should be dead as well. And thank you for reviewing this again, Tarrian. BTW, not complaining, but you spelled my name a little wrong.
