No. She has touched it. She is the one I want for what is to come Tyrannus sent. Komad was too powerful to mess with but his sister was powerful in other respects. He had studied the pair extensively and knew she had a way of striking when one least expected it while Komad showed it. He was pleased. He sent a comm message to Peelal, "How goes it on the surface? Did the Blood King awaken yet?"

"Really? I've never noticed," Alkea replied but was secretly pleased. Few people said anything about her skill but she never looked for praise. She had what some strange Jedi called 'best quality heart.' She continued, "What were you doing on Dxun?"

Peelal twirled his sabers and sheathed them. Yes, he has awaken, and sent minions after me. He walked past the bodies and towards the incarnate of the Blood King. "It is a pleasure to see you.. master," he bowed his head towards the man.
--------
"Helping some lost Republic soldiers back to their unit.. it's my kind of thing.. really. I go where help is needed, and I..help." (He is a legend, 'the white jedi', many knew of him in stories but none have truly seen him.)

He pushed his glasses back up on his face, watching her, seemingly entranced.

The Blood King was amused by the kneeling figure in front of him. He sent a wave of his minions of blood towards Peelal curious to see what his "ally" Tyrannus sent him.

Alkea, amused that Scooter kept pushing his glasses felt she should do something. Right in front of Komad, she boldy took Scooter's glasses off and touched her forefinger and middle finger to his right temple. She closed her eyes and concentrated on the Force through a technique her master taught her. When she opened her eyes she smiled and placed Scooter's glasses back on leaving him to see nothing but blurriness through the lenses. She then smiled again and feeling very shy, walked out to go to a library room to hide in embarrassment. ((I don't know, maybe a meditation chamber))

Airion's boots were loud in the corridor of the republic star destroyer valient. Airion twisted and turned through the maze of the ship. But then he stopped. People were talking through the force. He shook his head and headed to a sick bay.

He blinked a little bit and squinted, then took off the glasses, looking around with them in his right hand. He grinned a little and put the glasses back on his face, the glass lens smoothing over and becoming thinner and smoke clouding the lens, then revealing sunglasses with a red tint.

He watched her walk away and chased after her, steadying(sp?) to a walk next to her. He put an arm around her, squeezing a little then letting his arm drop at his side. "Don't let me trouble ya.." He said, winking at her smoothly, his round sunglasses at the tip of his nose.

"You know.. you didn't need to do that.."
----
Peelal unsheathed two lightsabers and starting slicing his way through the minions, finally splitting his arms in four and taking out two more sabers, easily cutting down the minions as he sent them out. He managed to let loose a mighty force push, moving a rock infront of the tomb entrance, so no more minions would come. He sheathed his weapons and looked back at the king.

"Anything else?"

((Alkea fixed Scooter's vision. She just did it. You could go back to whereing glasses if you wish. I was kind of hoping you'd take up the hint Xbx))

The Blood King looked at Peelal thoughtfully and walked away into a chamber leaving him where he stood. Two of the aids escorted Peelal outside and they said, "Sleep out here and he will see you again tomorrow." They turned and shut the door leaving Peelal to fend for himself that night.

((Fixed it? Thought she made is worse like a joke.. Since it was all blurry..OH, with the glasses on! I'll go edit..))

Peelal growled and pounded on the door, sighing a little. He headed back out of the tomb and onto the dusty barren landscape. He sat down and crossed his legs, tuning out everything around him. Knowing that he doesn't need to eat or drink, due to his implants, he'd just meditate for the night.

His limbs separated as he lifted into the air, a black and purple cloud of energy surrounding him as he fell into a deep sleep.

((Acutally the planet is lush and green. The foliage hides the dangers. Think like the Mummy Returns))

Alkea just smiled and teased back, "You looked like you were nervous by pushing them up your nose like that but I thought it cute." She kept walking towards a meditation chamber where there were two cushioned settees. She motioned to one and asked, "Would you like to?"
She sat crossed-legged on the other and waited.

Then, the Valiant came out of hyperspace, and was in orbit around Coruscant. Soon, a shuttle departed from the Star Destroyer, taking Greea and the Jedi to the Temple. Shortly after, Komad waited outside the Council Chambers to be Knighted. He entered the Council Chambers, and looked around at the various council members: Kalla Vel, the Mandalorian Jedi who had taken him as her apprentice, the barabel Tesar Sebatyne, Yado, who was the same species as the legendary Yoda, his father, and Hethra Iazoki, Grand Master of the Jedi Order. He kneeled before Hethra. "Komad Kaltas, it has been decided by the High Council that you have proven yourself ready for the title of Jedi Knight. Do you accept the responsibilities of this title?" Hethra said to Komad. "I accept these responsibilities." Komad replied. "Then I hereby dub thee Jedi Knight." Hethra said, cutting off Komad's padawan braid, carefully avoiding his lekku.

He nodded and walked next to her, sitting down on the cushion nearby. He closed his eyes, concentrating for a moment. He spoke into her mind, his voice as smooth and refreshing as ever.

Ever heard of 'The White Jedi'?

What is that? Alkea was unaware the ship had landed and everyone left. It was a surprise to everyone, even her brother.

Greea watched as Komad was made a Jedi Knight. She was pleased but she had the uneasy feeling that Komad was not pleased about his sister and the relative stranger that they had met named Scooter. He was nice but she had the feeling that Alkea felt just like her but something wasn't right. She couldn't place it and her face was in a puzzled frown as Komad approached her.

He was a great Jedi, going from planet to planet, savings lives, freeing innocents. He was my father, and the job was passed down from me. He thought, concentrating more.

The only reason that the Force guided me to you, is that your troubles stood out..

"Greea, my knighting was not the only thing the Council informed me of. You are the only non-Jedi currently in the Temple, but soon, there won't be any. The Force is strong in you, Greea, and I am to take you as my apprentice." Komad said to Greea, walking out of the Council Chambers.

What troubles?

"What?" Greea asked. She was not sure of what that meant and wasn't sure of what else to say.

"You're to become a Jedi. But tell me this, on which planet were you born? Was it occupied by the Sith then? I'm surprised you weren't brought to Ossus to be trained at a younger age." Komad asked Greea.

You and your brother.. you seem to have troubles with this.. 'Darth Tyrannus' and a Kaleesh..

Our spies in the Jedi Temple have done their work well. They tell me that the Rodian is to become a Jedi, meaning it will not be long before she and Komad are on a mission together. Our plan moving along very well. Darth Virul informed Tyrannus.

Good. The girl is developing feelings for someone. She will become defensive.Tyrannus replied.

Alkea opened her eyes and spoke softly, "Yes. He did something to Komad and I don't think Komad is telling teh entire truth about what happened. He never kept secrets before. We tried a memory technique and I touched something but I couldn't go further." She stood up and began to rub her arms as if a chill had been sent down her spine.

Greea was still in disbelief but answered the question, "Nar Shadaa (Is this right?)."
She had mixed feelings about this whole thing and was still reeling from the shock.

(Actually, I stated that Greea's homeworld was Corellia)
"Of course. That planet was taken by the Sith a year after I was born. Your parents were right to hide you from the Sith." Komad replied. "I'm not sure if I can understand the shock, my parents were both Jedi, and I just went to Ossus with them when I was old enough."

He nodded and looked around, opening his eyes and glancing around the ship. "So, you a Komad are brothers? Where are your parents?" He asked, somewhat bracing for the usual answer.

"Our mother is dead, and our father now sits on the Jedi Council." Komad said, entering the room with Greea, who now wore a traditional Jedi tunic. "We've got a new assignment on Raxus Prime, let's get going."

He glanced up at Komad, then to Alkea. "Seems you two have.. a mission. I'll take my leave now.. " He said, standing up and bowing slightly.

"Unless you need a professional's help.." He said with a grin.

"Actually, the Council wanted the four of us in particular for this one. Two Jedi Knights and two Apprentices should be able to handle themselves on this." Komad replied, forgetting that he hadn't told them about Greea becoming a Jedi.

The young Rodian hasn't even been trained with a lightsaber, let alone how to use Force, but as you wish. If you need any help.." He pulled out his datapad and typed in a few numbers, sending his comm. number to Komad's.

"There.." He slipped the datapad away. He turned away and walked out of the quarters, waving before walking down the hallway.

(@Xbx, what colour is Scooter's lightsaber blade anyway?
@JM12, I'm going to let you decide Greea's lightsaber blade colour, ok?)
Komad helped Greea train in the Force and lightsaber combat in the cargo hold of the Ebon Hawk II. "Don't get discouraged. Luke Skywalker, the man who restored the Jedi Order, was two years older than you are now when he started his Jedi training, and look how he turned out." He said to her.

Greea was a bit frustrated because she set high standards for herself. She couldn't accept failure that easy but was giving everything she got her purple blade was an interesting color, one not seen fully since Mace Windu's saber. Alkea spent time between her master Hethra and Scooter, learning new techniques. She possessed an aptitude for healing and was a willing student but over the course of a few hours, her personality changed. It wasn't noticeable to any except her brother who sensed something ws not right.

(Actually, Hethra also wielded a purple lightsaber in all three parts of the Trilogy)
"You're better. It took me two years to get as far as you've gotten." Komad continued to reassure her, knowing how long Jedi training took in the days of the First Republic. He then messaged his sister. "How far are we from Raxus Prime?"

((EDIT:: Checked back, here's my exact words: Weapons: One white longsaber with a curved hilt and a short white lightsaber with a curved hilt as his other one, but reversed. They each can interchange into an S-shaped doublesaber, if needed.**Always loved Aurra Sing's ORiGINAL lightsaber...))

(sorry, forgot about that)

"We are coming up in two standard hours brother dear," Alkea was concentrating on the trajectory and the systems in the cockpit. She was rather good at flying and was always making adjustments for course efficiency.

Good, they have taken the bait. Is the trap ready, Lord Tyrannus? Virul asked Tyrannus.
"I'm curious Greea, considering how strong the Force flows in bloodlines, were either of your parents Jedi?" Komad asked Greea as she continued her training.

"No, we were always smugglers (is that right?)," Greea replied.

How shall we bait? Along the hyperspace route?" Tyrannus replied.

(I never specified, so sure)
No, but deploy a squadron of TIE Marauders to "greet" them. I will then go down to the planet to make sure everything goes according to plan. Virul replied.

Already done but I should warn you that they are your troopers. Mine have other obligations. I always have a backup plan Tergis was smiling.

Alkea was picking up strange readings and sent her concerns to, not Komad, but Scooter. She was puzzled by it and tried to make the readings come in clearer.

(Who's Tergis? I thought Tyrannus's first name was Cronus)
"Strange, I'm beginning to sense a new dark presence, but from the Sith, but from Alkea? Could the virus have... no, it couldn't have." Komad said to Greea, beginning to fear for his sister, much like how she had for him on the Valiant.

As he was sitting in his cockpit and firing up the engines, he recieved the readings. I will try to make sense of these... He began to concentrate hard, looking over them in his head.

((oops. I thought I spelt Tryannus. Damn the time difference. I'm in DC and not home in CA so it is taxing until I go home on Sun))

Alkea saw the TIE marauders appear on her scopes and it was nearly too late. She called back to hang on and began to rely on the Force to guide he and avoid the laser fire. She called to no on in particular, "They set us in a trap."

"Keep the ship steady, I'm headed for the upper gun turrets. Greea, you take the lower ones." Komad replied, manning the upper turrets. He began firing at the TIE Marauders.

Scooter piloted his modified Republic Fighter out of the docking bay and took off toward the Marauders, waving slightly to Komad as he flew past the Turret viewscreen, launching two missiles at a TIE Marauder, blowing it to pieces.

His fingers danced along the controls as he was locked on, two missles screaming towards him. He steered his ship upwards and let go of the engines, performing a risky backflip in order to get behind the TIE Marauder, and it was successful.

As he steered behind him, the missles the TIE Marauder shot at him now followed the TIE's engine thermal heat. Using the suprise maneuver, he let loose with his lasers, shredding the fighter to bits and letting the missles finish the job. He soared upward, out of sight. Two Marauders left.

Seems you guys can take it from here.

Komad shot down the remaining two TIE Marauders, and then sent a message to Scooter. "Stick close, we're going in for a landing." He said, getting down from the turret.

He dove back down, spiraling in the air as he flew towards the cockpit, firing a flare in the opposite direction, staving off two loose missles.

He evened himself out with the nose of the ship, following them as they moved. I'm right here. In reality, he was a bit worried about Alkea.

Alkea was doing her level best to keep them from getting too much damage. She decided to try something. "Strap yourselves in. I'm going to try something," she shouted. Without waiting for confirmation, she did a spiral formation and two of the enemy fighters fell for it chasing her as she maneuvered the ship. It wasn't a fighter but she managed to get the two to hit eachother as she made for Raxis Prime. The starboard engine had been hit bad and she attempted to go in for a landing.

((What is the terrain of Raxis Prime? I'm not up to date on the planets.))

He piloted his ship towards their ship and towards the starboard engine as it started to fall. I'll stabalize it. He said, grabbing a tow cord from the back of the ship's cockpit. "Stabilize the ship," A voice overhead confirmed it as he opened up the cockpit window, leaping out as he floated towards the Starboard engine, taking heed of the blistering heat and holding his breath, using a Jedi breathing technique.

He activated an energy shield booster that he had as he went in close, to guard from the intense heat. He positioned himself towards the engine as he strapped the cord around a small hook on the side, tieing it and floating back to his ship, tieing the cord onto the end of his tow rod then landing in the seat and closing the window, letting his air out. He spun his ship around and lifted up, following the ship, letting the tow cord do it's work, deactivating the shield.

He felt lightheaded and slightly dizzy. He wouldn't be able to pilot the ship for very much longer.

Take your time, the engine is stabilized and immobile.

(I think it's mostly a gritty, industrial ecumenopolis, or something like that)
"From what Kalla told me, the Sith have set up a small base here with the intention of reactivating the Dark Reaper. She couldn't discover the location of the Sith Base, so she wants to find it, and destroy it. Greea and I will search the sewers, while Alkea and Scooter will search the surface." Komad said, pointing out the area on a holographic map.

"Hang on, this is going to be bumpy," Alkea shouted. With extreme control and reliance on the Force, she was able to get the ship to land without any mishaps. The ship was smoking in on engine though it had been stablized for the landing. Once the ship landed, it fell apart. Alkea looked at the systems console and said, "The starboard engine is gone, we need a new one and we have a slight hyperdrive leak. How are secondary systems?"

"Mostly fine, except the navicomputer is slightly damaged. We should head out, we could possibly find parts to repair the ship." Komad replied.

"Where do we start looking?" Alkea asked.

"Like I said before, Greea and I will search in the sewers, while you and Scooter search the surface." Komad replied as he and Greea climbed down a open manhole.

Greea wasn't so sure about it. She asked, "Why don't Alkea and I search the surface and you and what's his name search the sewers. It would be better."
