"You dont make yourself look like the bigger man by saying your going to kill someone, but instead do it and not whine." Natalie countered.

"As for the Holocron, do we really have to kill an entire enclave to get at it? Because something tells me that is whats going to happen..." She spoke again, she had a image of carnage and screams enterin her mind, she did her best to shut it out. She failed.

William gazed over at Darranack with a lazy look. He gently began chuckling before saying, "Your temper tantrums amuse me. I'm afraid I don't even remember why you are so upset."

Natalie walked over to William and just stood their.
"Ever have a bad feeling about something? Because I have one right now..."
She muttered to him in a low voice, it was the sort of fear that hung in the back of your head, whispering....

"I always have bad feelings, so I always think of something else," answered William.

"If everyone is done being paranoid, I suggest we look for this enclave." Dwain stated, as he pulled out from his janket the Map Holocron of the Island. He activated it, and a holographic projection of the Island emited from the little device.

"Okay... we are here!" he pointed at a certain part of the map. "So the Enclave can't be far from here. C'mon ladies, follow me!"

Natalie followed on behind Dwain, watching the jungle cautiously.
'Well it beats Guard Duty back at the embassey' She thought, the air was stuffy and thick but everynow and then a light breeze whistled past, it was a quiet and desolate planet.

Zeldron remained at the back of the group, to make sure they weren't attacked from behind. He knew all too well about the dangers of the jungle.
"Be careful, guys. Young rancors have been known to dwell in this jungle. They've got poor daylight vision and we should walk slowly if we don't want to become a meal for one of these beasts."

Dwain walked beside Natalie, a question on his face.

"Natalie, this has been under my attention for some time, so I would like to ask you some questions!"

He wanted to know whether Natalie ever considered learning the ways of the Force.

Darranack thought this mission was drawing out far too long as it was. This was a personal glory mission, which he hadn't realized before. He didn't plan on staying here long now. It was worth a try, so he fired at William a couple times.

"Learning the ways of the force? Me a Jedi..? - I think you are mistaken, I do not feel the force as you do." She replied, telling herself that what he was saying was proposterous... or was it?

((Has Darranak had a rough childhood or something? 'cuz, he kinda acts like a psyco.))

"How did you know I was gonna ask if you wanted to learn te ways of the for---" ((conversation shall be continued afterwards.))

Dwain heard blaster shots from behind him. It didn't suprise him, as it was Daranak trying to kill William.

Dwain pulled out his Blaster at Daranak, and igntied his Lightsaber. He Force Pushed Daranak to the ground, and pointed the blade of his Lightsaber at the guys throat.

"Dude! What the hell is your problem???"

Zeldron was 15 metres away from the group when he heard blaster fire. He immediately ran towards them and when he got there, he saw Darranak on the ground. "What the hell happened here?", he asked Dwain.

Blocking the blaster fire just before it reached him, William wasn't to happy when he saw who fired upon him. "If you really wanted to kill me, you could have just come up to me and said it. Firing upon me from behind is a cowards way... and again... WHAT DID I DO TO YOU????"

Natalie already had her pistol aimed at the guys face.
'Never did like this one'

"I say we shoot him, or take him back to the enclave and leave him there." She said aloud.

"Or maybe we could just leave him in the middle of the jungle to be eaten by rancors or captured by Rakatans.", said Zeldron with a grin on his face.

Natalie gave a stern look.
"I was only joking, however its only a matter of time until he makes another 'mistake' or becomes a problem child." She responded.

Dwain edged the blade of his Lightsaber at Darranaks throat, glaring at him with such hatred.

"You got some seriouse issues here, you bastard! If you pull another stunt like that one more time you ****, and I'll will bleed you to death. You got that??"

[QUOTE=Phantom Knight]((Has Darranak had a rough childhood or something? 'cuz, he kinda acts like a psyco.))

((Yes. He is indeed a nasty, energetic, psycho.))

"Oh please, no Rancors. I have a serious problem with Rancors. They scare the **** out of me." Darranack flopped his arms out so he was flat. He had landed on his bicep, which was uncomfortiable. He almost started cracking up at the absurdity of the traveling party. But he didn't, mostly cause of the lightsaber at his throat. He really wished Dwain would move it away.

"Ok, people...let's get moving! The more time we waste in the middle of the jungle, the bigger the risk of suffering a horrible death in the stomach of a rancor or another nasty creature. If you spent this much time sitting around in the jungles of Dxun, a cannok would eat you."

Dwain deactivated the Lightsaber, then glanced up at Zeldron.

"You're absolutely right!" he clipped his Lightsaber back onto his belt. Then he glared down at Darranak, as he didn't trust him.

He continued to follow the map, and while doing so, decided to resume the conversation about Natalie's Force Sensitivity.

"Allright, you!" he walked beside her. "Where were we?"

"You were bombarding me with cryptic words" Natalie joked, with a smirk.
She slowly put her pistol away and started to walk alongside Dwain, looking around the Jungle.

"Alright - What if I can 'feel the force' or whatever you want to call it, what does that mean?" She asked, a more serious tone mirroring her face.

"The Force is a complicated thing." Dwain tried to explain. "I am no Jedi Master, but I know I can feel it growing strong within you."

He may have left the Order, but he was willing enough to train Natalie in the ways of the Force, if she requested. Something like this cannot be safely ignored.

"When I was in the Order, I was taught by a master named Vandar. He told me by harnessing the Force, my potential is unlimited. The same can be done with you, if you wish."

"Alright.....how do I start?" She asked, feeling as if one chapter of her life had closed and another was opening...

Dwain stared at her. "Are you willing to learn the ways of the Force?" hearing this news was a slight shock to him.

"I won't train you to become a Jedi, but I shall teach you how to use the Force. That is all I have to give! Are you sure want to choose this path?"

She took a brief look around, then looked back at Dwain.

"Im ready, theres no point in not going anywhere with this." She replied.

Dwain wondered whether it could be innapropriate to give Natalie a lesson, while they were walking towards the other enclave in such a hostile environment.

"Err... okay! I'll give you a basic quick lesson right now... while we are walking..."

Dwain was going to teach Natalie how to feel the Force and its surroundings.

"Okay... the first thing I want you to do is close your eyes and breath very slowly. Can you do that?"

Natalie nodded as her eyes dropped, she ignored the dangers and surrounding noises of the wildlife and slowed her breathing.

It felt familiar.. but somehow like a complete stranger to her.

Now that Dwain watched Natalie closed her eyes, the lesson commenced fourth.

"Listen to the environment all around you. Listen to the Wind Currents, the Trees, the Wild Life all around this world..."

"Now, follow the sounds. Follow the flows and currents all around. Feel them passing through everything..."

Dwain sensed the tunings of the Force growing within her.

"Now, feel yourself going through everything about you. The emotions of the Wild Animals, the rustiling of Tree branches, the insanity of Daranak. Awaken! Feel the strange energy surrounding them (the force)."

((woah!!! How the heck am I saying that???))

Natalie opened her eyes, and took a deep breath, whether Dwain said Magic Words or whether she could always do that remained to be seen.

"I feel... strange.. like I can hear the Galaxy..." She felt a bit faint from the strange feeling she had.

"Spare me the details..." Dwain said simply. "We're at the Enclave!"

The Structure of an Enclave rose into view by the beach. Basic Rakatan design, with seom defence systems: a Turret.

Dwain pulled out his Lightsabers.

"Okay guys, let me just brief on what we are gonna do..." he turned to face everyone.

"Get inside... Get the Holocron... Kill everyone!"

"Sounds good to me", said Zeldron pulling out his repeating blaster. "Let's do it!"

"Kill everyone?" Natalie slowly raised her blaster slightly disapproving, she would only kill those who tried to kill her.

"What about prisoners and children?" William snapped. "Would you have the heart to kill a rakatan child that fate simply dealt a badhand."

Dwain sighed at his crew members.

"Okay, fine! Kill Rakatan's who are attacking us. Happy? Gee, I try to act all mean and tough, and then I hear "ohhh, suddenly yo have gone to far!"

Dwain walked to the entrance of the Enclave and stabbed his Lightsaber through the door. He was going to cut a hole big enough for the crew to squeze through.

"Hey Dwain, shouldn't I put some charges on the door? Blowing it up would make it easier to get it, don't you think?"asked Zeldron, apparently convinced that he was right.

Natalie kept quiet, noticing Dwain start to Stray away from the Good man she knew at the start of the Voyage....
She checked the power pack of her Blaster and replaced it, then aimed the Rifle at the door, ready to fire on the first Rakatan warrior that charged out.

((^ Aw, shush! :) ))

Dwain decided the charges were a good idea. They would prove to be useful and save him the trouble of slicing the door open with his Lightsaber.

"Okay, help me set them up. Please?"

"Allow me...", said Zeldron confidently. He expertly placed the charges on the door of the enclave and set the period in which they would explode. "Okay people...take cover! The charges are gonna blow in 20 seconds!"

(Rofl *Dwain suddenly electrocutes everyone* Muhahah Power absolute powah!)


Natalie crept back a few paces, she would be out of the way of the explosians radius, her Republic Army training taught her that, she falled flat onto her front and still aimed the rifle at the detpack... the second it blew she would be ready for them.

Dwain ran behind a large boulder, to shield himself from the blast fire. This is gonna get messy, he thought.

((I shall leave the pleasure of describing the Explosion to you, JK24. Make it nice and snappy :) ))

Zeldron jumped behind one of the jungle's bushes, just when the timer of the charges he had just set reached 20. A great explosion was heard moments later and a ray of light covered the land, before thousands of bits of shrapnel rained down on the ground. Another minute passed, before Zeldron rose from behind the bush he had hid in and said: "Well, now that that's over...let's go kick some Rakatan butt!"

((Sorry if the explosion wasn't what you would have liked))

Natalie quickly squeezed the trigger and dropped a Rakatan guard preparing himself to attack, she stood up on her feet and advanced into the Enclave, completly ignoring unarmed Rakatans running for their lives.

William walked calmly while slicing open the Rakatans that attacked him with his wrist blades. "Sorry," he said before cracking one of the attackers skull.

Dwain launched himself from behind the rock and landed atop of it. He aimed his Blaster at an Attacking Rakatan, and fired repeatedly.

He then ignited both Sabers, and laucnhed himself to another Rakatan Warrior, both blades forming a cross the slice the Barbarian into two.

When he finnished him off, he ran inside the Enclave.

Zeldron charged toward the place where the Enclave's entrance had been 3 minutes ago, only to be blocked by a Rakatan warrior. Zeldron stabbed the Rakatan with his Mandalorian blade, then took his blaster and fired at another Rakatan who was closing in on him, knocking the creature on the ground, dead. He then starred at the Rakatans that didn't participate in the skirmish and were running for their lives. "So this is what my brothers and sisters experienced during the wars...". He was interrupted by a charging Rakatan, who we swiftly slew, by thrusting his blade into the Rakatan's chest.

"Brothers and sisters?" Natalie replied to the Mandalorian, kicking a Warrior in the face and shooting it on the ground.
She noticed that the Warriors were starting to fall back, knowing that they did not stand much of a chance against a rapid firing rifle.

Dwain was running down a corridor, flurrying his Lightsaber at any opposers. He was met by two Rakatan Battle Droids. But he easily took them out with a swift of his Lightsaber.

As soon as he finished them off, he suddenly thought "Oh, f***! Where the hell could the Holocron be?"

Natalie had gone off in another direction to the rest of the party, hardly encountering any Rakatans, and only a few civillians.
She kicked open a barred door and saw a group of 6 Republic Soldiers.

"What the hell are you doing here?" She asked, glancing around.
"You tell me, one minute we're guarding an enclave, next minute we have imposters taking over!" The Corporal and leader answered.
"I see.. take your weapons stored over there and follow me." She said, as they kitted out she blasted a Rakatan.

Her and the new unit then advanced back to the rest of the party, gunning down the shee amount of Rakatans now charging.

(Sorry for double post, but this is dieing and its a bump as well as a reply)

Natalie arrived back at the others, and the other soldiers with her quickly arranged in a line and fired at the Rakatans, forming a swift no mans land between them and the rest of the enclave.

"Look what I found! Republic Soldiers" Natalie said as she kept a vigilante eye out.

Dwain ducked behind a pillar, and about every 5 seconds, he popped out from behind it and blasted a few Rakatans. He then saw the group of people Natalie seemed to be leading.

"Who are these guys? Survivors?
