Like the banner. Another good one by Sabre. I might need him in the future. Anyway, I hope the next Chapter is up soon.

It is, just under this sentence.

Chapter V : Reuniting

As the water could be heard flowing, and the rain dripping, a female human layed in a prison on the backwater planet of Kamino, right on it’s capital of Tipoca City, the famed location of the Kamino Cloning Facility. She had blonde hair, blue eyes, and was clothed in anything but her underwear. Her hair was tied to her back, and then a dark figure walked up to her. She “woke up” from her fake sleep, got up, and waited for him to talk.

“Well, looks like my apprentice did a great job before being killed. A shame, isn’t it? I also expected a Jedi of your calibre to put up more of a fight Exile.” The dark figure told the woman.

“Hey, no need to call me Exile anymore, I have a name, you know? It’s Kira Bellatrix by the way, Darth Orpheus.” Kira, the Jedi Exile told him.

“Humph. It doesn’t matter what your name is, or what my is. All it matters is that you’re going to rot in here, and nobody will ever find you, especially here.”

“We’ll see. You may find that I’m full of surprises.”

“The only thing we will see will be the uprising of The Masters, and their conquering of the Core Worlds. And for now, you will enter in a real sleep.” He said as lightning bolts hit Kira, and knocked her unconscious.

“I am here old man,” A Wookiee voice roared. Darth Orpheus looked around to see a blood-stained and injured Hanharr carrying a halved Darth Feros, “Your apprentice is dead, he has failed, and died by the hands of a weak mercenary.”

“Hanharr, a pleasant surprise,” Orpheus said, using the Force to pull back his dead apprentice to him, “He shall be cloned here by the Kaminoans. Also, you will go to Nar Shadda, and wait for them to come.”

“What, are you mad? I won’t meddle in your,” Hanharr said before being interrupted by Orpheus, who used the Force to bring Hanharr to his knees, giving him excruciating pain.

“You will do as I say, understood?”

“Yes….Master.”

-----------------

Now, it was different. I could hear the rain drops, water everywhere, not hiding the fear someone hadr. Now it was only a blue and purple Lightsabers against a red Staffsaber. More fierce duelling came ahead, swings and blocks, until the purple Lightsaber was de-activated and some one yelled. Again

“Aagh,” I shouted, waking up from my bed, nervous and sweating. I got up, on my sleeping robes, and saw through the window. It was morning on Coruscant, but I wasn’t happy to see and feel the warmth of the sun glare. I still hadn’t overcome the death of Pottsie, but perhaps, only perhaps it was the Force’s will.

I looked to my left, where T3 was deactivated. I smiled, walked to him and activated him.

“Good morning T3,” I said. The droid beeped in a hello. I opened a drawer, and took out the jumpsuit. I put it on, my smile hiding my sadness.

“Hey, T3, how about we go and pay a visit to Rayarn while Cameron is sleeping?” I asked him. It was morning, but the sun hadn’t completely risen. The tiny droid whistled and beeped in affirmation.

“Alright, let’s go,” I said, using the Force to pull my Lightsaber to me, and clipped it on the belt.

We got out of my room on the Jedi Temple, and got out of it. I grabbed the same speeder we used the other day and flew with T3 to the Tracking Bothan’s base.

-----------------

It was not a happy place now that Pottsie was gone, and everybody was with sad and gloomy faces. I walked with T3 to the desk where Rayarn once was, but now was a man.

“Where is Rayarn? I need to see him,” I asked.

“I’m sorry, but Rayarn is mourning for Pottsie’s death. I assume you are here for your belongings, come with me,” He said, storming off as me and T3 followed him. We eventually reached a seemingly dead end. The man took out a keycard and sliced the door. It opened, and inside where various lockers and footlockers.

“This is where we get our best weapons,” He said, then pointing to a footlocker “Your gear is right here. Take the footlocker, doesn’t matter.”

“Thanks,” I said, T3 taking it as we left off to the speeder, and the Jedi Temple again.


-----------------

We reached the place in no time, and we burst off to my room quickly. I took out the jumpsuit, took out my Lightsaber from it, put on my robe, then the cloak, and clipped my Lightsaber to my belt again. I took out Cameron’s, and we left off to her room. I left it off on her bed, where she was still sleeping. I opened the windows, as Cameron woke up with the sun.

“Rise and shine Cameron,” I said with a smile, “Remember, we need to talk with the Council.”

“Yes, I know, just give me a minute,” She said as we left the room and she put on her robe and cloak, clipped her Lightsaber to her belt, and left the room.

“Great, let’s go.” I muttered, not too excited about anything. Although, I would be when we got to the hallway. Four Jedi where in it, and everyone was amazed. There where three Humans and one Cathar. She was wearing a bright blue full body suit with leather boots, gauntlets and chest plate, and she also had two Lightsabers clipped on her belt. I immediately recognized her as Juhani, who had travelled with Revan on his quest to the Star Forge. The woman appeared to be Atris, who had fallen to the dark side. She was wearing her customary white robes, and didn’t look very happy. The young man I didn’t recognize, but he was donned in simple brown and white Jedi robes, had brown spiky hair and his eyes where hazel-coloured. He also had one Lightsaber clipped onto his belt as well. Finally, the older man was easily recognizable as Jolee Bindo, with his boldness, forester clothing and was holding his Lightsaber on his hand. T3 beeped, for he appeared to know them.

“What, never seen four Jedi walking down a hallway?” Jolee joked, for he was known for that.

“Uh, excuse me, are you looking for someone?” Cameron asked politely.

“Yes, in fact we are,” Atris snapped with her smug attitude, “We are here to see the Jedi Council.”

“Well,” I told them, not taking her snappy remark well, “Follow us.”


-----------------

Inside, the Council appeared to be talking to man in a Republic Admiral outfit. He was Admiral Onasi. Me, Cameron and T3 made our way in and bowed.

“Hello Admiral,” I told him, “Masters, there are some people who need to talk to you…”

“Is this where me, Juhani and Atris sign for “Councilhood?” Jolee asked, not wanting to wait.

Master Bastila, Master Brianna and Admiral Onasi where surprised by the appearance of these four Jedi. Apparently, Master Bastila knew Jolee and Juhani, from when she travelled with Revan, Master Brianna was apparently once Atris’ servant and handmaiden, and the young Jedi, which Admiral Onasi called Dustil, was his son.

“Well, now that was a reunion. But we DO need to view the holocron. When Master Ky’Dor get backs from his assignment, we’ll see to what you want.” Master Atton said.

“I agree,” Master Mira agreed, taking it out. They put it on an holorecorder, and suddenly the room turned dark, and a green holorecord appeared.

“For months have I now been tracking Revan. My friend sure is hard to find though. I have been through war-ravaged worlds, great cities, barren wastelands, and every place you can and cannot imagine. Right now, I am headed to Manaan, where I heard on Chandrila, that had sightings of a man wearing black clothing, including a cloak. Some even report he had the same description as Revan : dark brown wavy hair, tanned skin and brown eyes. I just hope this doesn’t take too long, I have been much time away from the core worlds, and I truly which to go back to my friends.” A beautiful, blonde haired and blue eyed woman said, sighing at her last words. It then turned back to normal, and Masters Brianna, Atton, Mira, Mical, Bao-Dur, Visas and Bastila where shocked at what they saw, and so was Atris.

“It is…the Exile…” Master Visas exclaimed.

“No, she isn’t…the Exile anymore…she’s Kira…” Master Atton shrugged.

“What is it Masters?” Cameron asked.

“The woman you have just seen is the Jedi Exile, Kira Bellatrix. But maybe…Padawans Kenobi and Sunrider, we have a new task for you,” Master Bastila exclaimed, “You will take T3-M4 and leave for Manaan in an attempt to track down Kira.”

“Wait,” Master Brianna intervened, “You don’t seriously think two Padawan learners and a droid can possibly find Kira? Who knows what dangers lie ahead?”

“Yes, Brianna is right Bastila,” Master Bao-Dur told Master Bastila, “Kenobi, your Master, Ky’Dor will accompany you both, and who knows? Perhaps you will find some more companions for your travel.”

The doors suddenly burst open, and a small, aquamarine green figure donned in a brown full body suit with a tan cloak walked into the room. It was Jedi Master Ky’Dor, my Master.

“Back, I am. Completed, the assignment is,” Ky’Dor said, “News, I bring.”

“Well, Ky’Dor, what is it?” Master Bastila asked.

“I have found a droid which could be useful for us in many ways. But I see we have more things to attend to,” He said, obviously noticing Jolee, Atris, Juhani and Dustil.


-----------------

After much deliberation, though, Jolee Bindo, Juhani and Atris where all accepted and recognized as Jedi Masters, and members of the Jedi Council by Ky’Dor and the rest of the Council, and let Juhani continue her illegitimate training, now legitimate, with Dustil Onasi. After some while, Ky’Dor, me, Cameron, T3 and Masters Atton, Brianna, Bao-Dur, Bastila, Visas, Mical and Mira where left alone.

“So, what is it that you wanted, Master?” I asked my small Master.

“The droid, I mentioned, believe I do.”

“Yes, you did Ky’Dor,” Master Mical said, “May you show us to him?”

“Do that, I can.” My master said before waving his hand and opening the doors as a tall droid figure appeared in the room. It was of a crimson colour, and was a tad rusted. It showed little inside parts, and seemed very sophisticate. The head resembled the shape of one of a Dantooinian sharpshooter falcon. It had red eyes, and was holding a blaster rifle, but seemed deactivated as his eyes where dim and dull.

It was HK-47.

-----------------

Had to stop it here, was getting too long for my taste. ;P Also, credits goes to Master_Archon for letting me use his character, Darth Orpheus, from the RP with the same name as this episode, Shadows of the Force.
