Derek Suul

Dalla and the holo of Luke Skywalker were meditating on the floor when Luke turned to Dalla and said,"Alright, we are calm enough, it is time to begin your lesson." Dalla got up off the floor and ignited his lightsaber, or, at least the holo one Luke had given him. Luke remained motionless for several moments before Dalla gathered the courage to rush Luke. Dalla got to within a half a foot of Luke before Luke's body became a blur, and Dalla found himself on the ground, His holo lightsaber in Luke's hand, unignited. "You are too confident in yourself, too arrogant, and lack patience. You were also too slow, but apparently you realized this." He gestured to where Dalla was sitting. "Now let's try this again, are you ready for your lesson?" Dalla got up off the floor and saidto Luke,"Of course, that is what I came in here for, remember?" Luke replied,"Yes, I remember, but can you see yourself react, that is what the lesson is about. I will teach you that trick if you wish, but only after you finish this lesson. Agreed?" Dalla sighed and replied,"Agreed. Now let's start the lesson." Luke waited in one spot for what it seemed like hours to Dalla, and finally, he spoke. "Good, you can be patient for twenty minutes. This is a good sign. The dark side has not totally warped you." Dalla Groaned again and noted the program wanted to turn him to the light side now. It would be interesting to see what the holo did next...

The ship Chaos blasts through space and the pilot is very bored. having a very technical mind, his droid, arfour ateate has beat him at sabacc again, besides, Dalla Suul was never very good at keeping a game face, so the droid read him every time. The end result: Dalla has to do a complete overhaul on the droid and has to upgrade three things of the droids choice, droid wins all. as he gets up grumbling he catches a glance of his ninja-like companion, Qui-chi, watching from the hallway. "You want to play? I could show you how if you want, useful for getting money, at least in arfour's case." the ninja looks shifty, as if it was uncomfortable to learn something so far from his ninja training. "It'll be fun. I'll try to teach you before we reach coruscant, but I don't think we have time to play a game..."

OOC: sorry I waited so long, qui, f****** summer camp, anyway I won't be able to post until july, so post my actions for me we go to coruscant shortly after my last post on Pg. 14 so I need to backread 14,15, and 16 hang in there, I'll post soon IC: dalla says ,"all this sh** gets us to coruscant, just buckle up and dont touch anything, especially These buttons, they control the navicomputer." the ship Chaos blasts into space and hurtles towards coruscant at faster-than-light speeds, oblivious to all that happened on pages 15 & 16 OOC:I posted in space... so post there until we reach coruscant...

In flux-will edit-dependent upon a PM

OOC: yes, qui when we get our bodies back, we are free to leave too. IC: Dalla sends a short transmission to his mailbox on coruscant, and then starts reviewing his messages.

Dalla reaches over and swatts the comm,"Qui-chi, we were free to go when we got our physical forms back, I just remembered that. The ships all prepped, as soon as you board we can leave for coruscant..."

The dark figure of a man in hooded robes, stepped from the shadows of the training room. "I said, are you ready for your lesson?" Dalla stepped back, not sure of what it was, but then he sensed that there was nothing around the person, it had to be the hologram. The figure stepped towards Dalla and took off his hood. Staring back at him was the face of Luke Skywalker!! Dalla stammered," But I told the computer I was a darksider, why did you show up!?!" Luke took a second to look Dalla over, to see if he was ready, and replied,"Because the hardest lesson of all is to face yourself, you are darkside, Therefore, I am lightside. Also I have programming not to kill you." "Okaaayyy...Lets start. I want to learn the basics of swordplay." Luke reached under his robes and pulled out a lightsaber, turned it on, and Dalla was met with that familliar green he had studied in his lessons. That Green, created by a single gallinore emerald, a gift from The Ta'a Chume of Hapes, Teneneil Djo. This was his third lightsaber, and by far the powerfullest of all three he had owned. With a flick of his wrist, he tossed it to Dalla. "But I already have a training one.." "It's okay, this one is holographic, so you won't damage yourself or the holo room." "Oh." "So, how far are you into the darkside?" Typical computer, blunt, without any care for people's feelings... "Umm, hello?" "Oh, sorry, I was thinking. I am a padawan." "Who is your master? "I don't have one yet, I need to go find one." "Oh. You know, I was in the Dark side once..." "Yes, I know. Can we get on with the lesson?" "I am programmed to teach only when you are totally calm." Oh grreeaattt. I guess I get to wait again. Might as well talk. It was going to be a long day for the young padawan...

OOC: LDL, if it helps, you can backread on korriban, you know, goto pg 1,2,3... that's what I did if it helps.

OOC:Don't hound on me-I'm out in my ship!!!

Dalla feels a surge of excitement as he gets the response. I'm going home...Feels just like old times, only now I have someone new to share it with. Dalla smiled. Goddam am I gonna have fun... "Arfour!" The droid scuttled to the cockpit, where Dalla was waiting. Dalla said to Arfour," I want you to do a cross reference on bounty hunters. Good skills, good morals. Nothing less." Arfour hurried to the slicer room Dalla had personally installed for gaining reasearch information on the Force, and plugged in. It only took a few minutes to find the name. Arfour rolled back to the cockpit and told Dalla the information. "I believe there is a good hunter by the name of Ka Gee, not good with machinery, but he hunts well enough. I believe he is on coruscant right now." Dalla smiled and replied," Perfect. Are we all prepped?" "I believe so sir." "Okay, let's wait for Qui-chi and we can hit the spacelanes!"

"Of course Katarn, I need a master too. I will see you again." Dalla turns to Qui-chi. "Will you go? I could use a good copilot, and lately I've been feeling ripples in the force, like I don't belong... I also understand If you don't go. The need to get a master is strong in me too."

Dalla replies," Uhh, okay. I'm a darksider too, I've just never knew it went so deep..." Dalla walks over to the weapons area and takes a look at the tables and racks. He grabs a lightsaber and walks to the holo room, programming it for tutelage. A dark figure emerges from the shadows, and says, Are you ready for your lesson?...

Dalla leaps back and almost yells at the same time,"HOLY S***!!!" After being shocked for a few seconds he asks,"What the hell happened to you? You could've used a bacta tank, ya know..." He gets a sick feeling down in his stomach, like the other is almost sucking his force from him, he was so far in the dark side of the force. Dalla had never sensed someone who was so, so dark before.

Arfour rolled over to Dalla and said,"Master, the repairs are complete, we can leave at any time." it rolled out to the ship and prepped it. Dalla turned to Qui-chi and Katarn, his new friend and said,"Well, it seems I could leave sooner than expected. You two are welcome to come with me, although I think you would prefer to use your own ships. I do not care wether you stay or go, but I must find that jedi, that is my first priority. I would prefer if at least Qui-chi came with me, then I could learn more with my sword... But the choice is purely up to you. I'll give you guys an hour to decide." Dalla walked over to his ship, theChaos, and boarded it, waiting for the two's response.

OOC: sorry for the wait, finals IC: Dalla turned to King katarn again and said," Actually, the fewer who play the game at once, the easier. You have to sense incoming waterballs from opponents and float your dock and send waterballs to the other players. It's complexity multiplies with the players. I was actually thinking I could play one game with Qui-chi, and then you play winner. If we all go three at once, it gets a lot harder. Or you two could go..." Dalla turns to Qui-chi and says,"Do you wanna play me or him?"

Dalla replied,"No, you can hit the dock with the waterball. That's the whole point of the game. If you're kinda weak in the force right now, I guess we could use a training remote for your dock, but remember, the more players, the more complicated it will get." Dalla hollered to His droid, Arfour-ateate, who was outside working on the ship. "Hey arfour! Mind fetching us a training remote?" The droid gave the equivilant of a mechanical grumble and went to retrieve one from the temple. Dalla hollered back," Thanks arfour! Maybe we can make it two lube baths?" The droid went faster. Dalla turned back to Qui-chi and said," Now do you get it?"

Dalla turned to the new person and said, "Sure, my name's Dalla, and this is Qui-chi-ryu. You can play if you understand it well enough."

Dalla explains a little more:" there are two docks, or targets, floating in front of us,via the Force. Each one is controlled by a separate player. There is na tub of water in the middle of the players. The players float a waterball out of the tub, and hurl it at the other player's dock. The other player can move his dock out of the way of incoming shots from the other player's waterball, and the waterball can be reversed, via the Force again, and the player moves his dock again, and so on. Only, there are two of these 'battles' going on between waterball and dock, one above each player's head. It is very hard to concentrate on two things at once, which it is why it will attune our Force powers better. We can start off easy with training remotes for the docks, programmed to avoid water at all costs, or we can just play now with the docks and all."

"No Qui-chi," Dalla replied,"We both float the docks at the same time and try to hit the others at the same time and at the same time we try to float the target or 'dock' away from the opponents incoming waterball.--OOC:not a water balloon King katarn, a coalesced waterball--IC: Sound interesting?"

I don't know how this double posted, please ignore.

Qui-chi remains silent but has a Questionative air about him. Dalla senses this and explains:"Alright we have two wooden targets, round and about the size of a plate. We each levitate one... we'll call them docks. We each levitate one dock into the air and try to keep it from getting wet." Qui-chi looks even more confused until Dalla says,"There is a large tub of water between us. we must levitate water balls and hurl them at the docks, the one who scores three hits first wins, oh and one more thing, you can move the docks. So how about it? Wanna play?"

Dalla looks like he has an extreme hangover, but he lessens the pain with the Force. "Yeah, I think he has granted us permission to leave the planet to search for masters. Smells good. Whatcha cookin? OOOhhhhhhh...nevermind."( ) Dalla heads to the refresher. on the way back, he meets arfour and asks him about the holocron search. Arfour gives a little electronic gasp before saying," Master what is a holocron? My sensors picked up a message that said 'Only the chosen one is allowed'. Also, My memory logs indicate that you did not ask me to do a search on the Sith database you acquired for holocrons, although... It might be recorded on the ship's memory nodule." "Good. How long will that take?" "Two hours." "Good. Get on it. If you need anything, I'll be with Qui-chi-ryu." "Is that the man with the dark ninja-like clothing?" "One and the same. Now get on that nodule, and later I'll give you a lube bath." The little droid almost raced to the outside nose of the ship, for the joy of getting a lube bath. Dalla walked in and found Qui-chi having breakfast. He motioned to the counter of the ship's kitchen, Where Dalla found his food prepped nicely. After breakfast, Dalla said to Qui-chi,"So, you up for a Force game?"

Dalla shrugs, takes a sip of his drink, and replies to Qui-chi," Oh, I dunno. maybe in two days. I still gotta check with arfour on that holocron search." Both are having fun, and Dalla seems to be getting a little tipsy." Whell I bettter be gettin' on ta bed...ghoonighhhtt.." And he promptly fell asleep on the floor. Arfour rolls up, looks at Dalla, and Says to Qui-chi,"You are welcome to stay in my masters Quarters for the night, it seems he won't be using them." The droid then drags a blanket over the snoring Dalla.

Dalla suddenly sits up and realizes that he is in physical form once again, he picks up his sword and experimentally cuts his hand with it. Blood gushes over the sword. "Ahh, it is so great to be back!" OOC: I can finally use quotations alot again! IC: He looks beside him and notices Qui-chi is back to normal too. They promptly go back to Dalla's ship and throw a private party. Arfour serves drinks, and they talk about what they are going to do next. Dalla starts off first,"Well, I'm going to go and find a bounty hunter and track down the jedi that killed my father." Qui-chi asks,"How did your father die?You never told me that." Dalla gets a look on his face that is a cross between sorrow and anger and starts,"My father was once a wealthy merchant. One day he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and two Jedi were running through the marketplace, stopped when they saw my father, and cut him down. One of the Jedi looked down, saw his face, and saw that he killed the wrong man. They leapt up, and kept running, not caring whether or not my father lived or died. This is the true reason I joined the Sith." Qui-chi feels Dalla's pain and eases it through the Force. Dalla says,"Thanks man, I needed that. So where will you be going? I really want to stay with you, I mean, you are the only one who knows a lot of ninja stuff for a few parsecs. You could stay with me, you know? Course, you could find a master, and I'll meet up with you later, but I have priorities and I have to find my father. You could also go somewhere else and I promise to meet up with you when this thing about my father is all over." Dalla asks Arfour for another drink, and awaits Qui's response

Dalla walks over to Qui-chi, and after a warm greeting, Dalla says,"There is a war coming. I can sense it. There are many, or were many more extremely powerful sith gathered here, some of them have left, no doubt youv'e sensed them. In fact, one of them seemed to have a godly sense around him, and I think he's still here( ). I have been in a battle before, but running, not fighting. Although I diddn't know it at the time, I guess I was sensing extreme fear, excitement, and cunning. One guess on who is cunning in this war. Qui-chi, they were in there planning! I heard them when my arfour unit decided to commit suicide and rolled into the academy!" Qui-chi catches the sarcasm as Dalla says the last sentence. "They were talking about strategic points and planets! All I know is there is going to be a war soon, and I will be prepared to avenge my... sorry, I kinda get carried away talking about the cursed jedi. They murdered my father, or one of them did. I will never rest until the jedi that killed my father is dead himself. Well now you know all I know of the war." Dalla turned to Qui-chi and said, "What of you? I haven't seen you for a few days, what have you been doing?"
