Orion: Saviour

[Orion]

Name: Orion

Age: 50

Homeworld: Verasuul, the hidden planet of people with an unconventional warrior virtue, left out of the history by the Old Republic and the Empire and even left out of the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion because of the sheer disaster that would come from daring to attack the warrior people.

Race: Humanoid, Starzzian.

Background: Prince of the Starzz, left to become Jedi Knight and refused a life of royalty causing his banishment from Verasuul forever. Had he stayed he could have become a godlike figure.

Class: Jedi

Weapons: Dual Bladed Lightsaber (green Beams), able to disconnect making two duel blades that also can switch to a blue beam color.

Orion set the ship down, and he called the team together to go over operational status, and to call off their names.......and they are.....

[AndyWanKenobi]

Name: Seron
Species: Humanoid
Affiliation: Sith adept, last known member of the marka ragnos cult.
Age: 35
Weapon: Dual blades (not double bladed). Red and purple.
History: He was raised on a colonized planet filled with various races from across the galaxy. It was located on the outer rim away from the eyes of the Republic and the Empire. Unfortunetly not from the eyes of slavers. The planet was relatively peaceful and more of an agriculutural world. Slavers invaded the world and killed his family and made him orphan in less than a week. A resistance was mounted with the help of a small platoon of Jedi. The Jedi had crash-landed there when their ship was nearly destroyed by an ion storm. It had seemed the Force had guided them there when the local populace desparetly needed them. A massive battle on land and air ensued but it was not enough. The slavers won the battle and Seron and a handful fled the planet. Seron grew to hate the Jedi because of their failure. They had found him and several others to have force potential and taught them rudimentary force abilities in the little time they had. After several years the Marka Ragnos cult found him. He devoted himself to the Dark Side. He had learned much and was a guard to Tavion herself. He was defeated in battle by a Jedi, Jaden, that cut his hand off but did'nt kill him. He realized yet he was too weak and grew to hate the Jedi even more. He has become a Jedi hunter, searching for power...



Seron watched from a vast distance as the Jedi ship landed. He masked his presence in the force using the dark side, so the Jedi would not feel his presence. He expected the Jedi to return and meddle into the affairs they had no right to meddle into. He smiled, knowing they have come because they sense the growing darkness. The Jedi always feared what was not bathed in the light. He stepped into the shadows and would wait patiently as the Jedi would find an evil so terrible, that would soon gain the attention of every Jedi in the galaxy.........

[Darth Abaddon]

Name: Darth Abaddon

Species: Human

Association: Sith

Age: 30

Weapon: The Dark Side, Lightsaber (red blade)

History: The past matters not only the present. (other words unknown - hope that's ok)

Abaddon's ship held its orbit around the planet's fourth moon. The Venger's sensors detected the Jedi's ship but he dismissed his pitiful presence, he would soon know that the future was soon to be clouded in a perpetual darkness. Abaddon's mind soared through the darkness of the void, throught the brightness of the planets atmosphere until finally his unseen eye found his target . . . . . the Dark Jedi Seron.

Finding him was nothing that surprised him for he always completed his mission and never had he once failed his master. Reaching out with his mind he sent a message to the dark jedi, one that he could not afford to ignore.

Abaddon's patience were tried and tested, time was his ally for all things come to he who waits, he thought as he awaited the inevitable.

[Orion]

Maynder, as you know one of our fellow students, Jaden Korr stopped the Dark Jedi Tavion from creating a new Reborn Army, but for some reason the place that started it all, here on Kejim, is glowing with a Dark Side Aura. Kyle wanted me to tell you that I am mission commander, however if you feel the need to act then do so, as Jedi Knights we know that it is impeccable timing and transition that flows through our Force senses. I sense an evil unlike any other eminating from that base, but I sense a separate clouded Force, but it's not a concern for now, this is something that not only threatens the Jedi Academy, but also any left over Dark Jedi from Desann and Tavions two Cults. Kyle and his partner Jan Ors, cleaned this place out pretty good, it's doubtful there's any left over Imperials here, but be on you're guard.

[Orion]

They walk into the old base, noticing leftover carnage from three years before, when Kyle and Jan raided the base to find out what the Remnant was doing here. Stormtrooper armor lay avast a long line of bodies and carnage, Kyle was always the persuasive Mercenary. Most of the corpses where charred from blaster fire and explosives, another dark corner of the galaxy laid to waste by the New Republics extracurricular methods, Orion was glad Kyle joined the light side, he'd hate to see what the Jedi Master would be capable of if he should turn to darkness. They came to an area that had four blown cellulite engines, and four capsules, with, bodies inside of them, except these were not dead, they were in cryo-stasis.

"Reborn," he said to Maynard, "Unfinished, apparently when Kyle and Jan were done with this place they never were able to finish installing the Force into these individuals."

Orion looked more closely, noticing something he hadn't noticed, there was a status bar labeled, "Force Energy" and it glowed a bright red.

"What does this mean...." he looked up and noticed that at the top of a capsule was a small jewel, green in color, and it's energies were surging into the individual inside, "But the cellulite engines are, destroyed, how could they still have the power of the force?"

At that moment, the glass in capsule, cracked, and the individual awoke and rose, wearing a familiar robe, the robes of Desann's dark army, and bearing a lightsaber, "I sense you Jedi," it said. Orion backed away, "Maynard, get ready." The other four capsules broke as well, and Orion stood as four Reborn warriors, seemingly more powerful then their predecessors stood around him, bearing the mark of Desann, a dark jedi long defeated. Orion pulled out his hilt, and the duel blades glowed green in the ever present dampness, the battle was about to begin.

[Darth Abaddon]

From his ship Abaddon watched with his powerful mind. Smiling he gazed at the battle that was about to undergo many mile beneath him. With a sudden movement he snapped out of his chair and disappeared into the darkness of the ship, then there was only silence.

[Darth_Rageaholic]

After the job that Lockto had performed for Seron he had waited to be contacted by another Sith. this made him very impatient and he was ready for another job. But right now he was very content on watching the brall that was in front of him. the entertainment in the joint really sucked altough he was treated well. He had taken care of a few jobs for the owner and this made him a close friend and bouncer of the bar. if he was not at the bar he was upstairs with business of some type.

At that moment he saw a shadowed firgure walk into the bar. the man looked around the bar and move towards the business corner. this was his cue. lockto got up and went over to the brall and picked up both the men and walked with them outside. he came back in and walked over to the table. he sat down and asked what was wanted and how much it payed.

[Orion]

The Reborn were powerful, two of them had pinned Orion against the wall, both of the blades of his saber staff trying to push back, Maynard battled with the third one but the fourth stood and watched the fight. Orion used the Force to push but they were pushing back at the same magnitude. They had been in the capsules for so long that the energy of the Force that was pushed into them was beyond that of the average Reborn warriors. The reasoning for that was so none of them could possibly become more powerful then Desann if he had won the war and eradicated the Jedi. Orion suddenly ducked his saber falling behind him and he turned to their backs. Caught off guard the two Reborn winced in pain as the blade lit up cutting them both in half as it came to Orion's hand in a horizontal fashion. The fourth Reborn only laughed......there was something about this one that seemed, different, his dark force aura wasn't warped like the Reborn, like this one had midi-chlorians in his body in the first place. He wore the robes of a Reborn, but yet he seemed different. Orion stepped closer to him.

[AndyWanKenobi]

(Sorry I havent been here for a while. Comp troubles.)

Seron reeled back as he felt the Sith lord's presence in his mind. He nearly lost his masking of the dark side. He knew the Jedi felt him even for a moment they were alerted to darkness. Seron had always believed he was destined for greatness and was power incarnate itself. He realized he was horribly mistaken. Whoever this Sith was, he knew he was many times more powerful. He sensed that he (Abbadon) was serving a higher power himself. He was fearful of the servant, if an apprentice was so powerful the master must have been twice as powerful. The Dark Lord peered through his shadow over the Force as if he was a demon made out of light. Seron realized the Jedi had rushed off elsewhere and was no where to be seen. He didnt care at all. He only cared about responding to the Sith Lord. He kneeled and opened up his presence in the Force only to the Dark side. He reached out hoping the Sith lord would find him. Seron knew that if the Sith did not want to be found Seron would never find him.
{Dark one, I seek your presence. Your.....servant is ready to do your bidding........}, Seron said through the Force.


(The brackets are force thought. You did not specify what it was so I just used that. Tell me what you want Force thought to be and i'll change it.)

[Orion]

"Who are you?" asked Orion.

The Reborn smiled, something Orion knew from Conversations with Kyle Katarn that the Reborn warriors could not do, "To begin with, this body was Force sensitive, Desann made a mistake in his choices for his Reborn Army. I am not a prisoner from Artus Prime."

"What do you mean by, 'this body?' Orion asked in a confused fashion.

The warrior laughed, "the spirit is not the same."

Orion felt a sudden darkness, from elsewhere on the planet, but it was qute faint compared to this new found warrior, "What is your name?"

"I am Asajj Ventress."

Orion's jaw dropped, but then he scoffed, "Asajj was a woman when she was alive, so you couldn't be a clone. You must be lying."

"This body wasn't willing, but my spirit was."

The Jedi suddently knew what she meant. Asajj had pulled an Exar Kun, her spirit had taken over the body of this already Force sensitive human. He wondered why it was a male's body but then he realized that none of the Reborn were women. All the prisoners from Artus Prime had been men.

"My lord and master Tyranus, long dead I presume."

"Killed by the Chosen One himself (sorry, Ep. III spoiler)."

"I see, well, this body is only temporary until I find my original one, or one like it."

Orion stood there, stunned by what was happening. A Dark Jedi had kept her spirit alive long enough to enter one of Desann's Reborn, he thought only Sith could have done that. He stood ready, wondering if the other Dark sensitives would near them. Asajj gave no notice of retreat or attack, he/she just stood there, continuing to smile.

[AndyWanKenobi]

Seron felt nothing from the Sith Lord. He realized the Sith wanted nothing to do with him, at least for now. He pulled his attention back towards the Jedi. He reached out with the Force and sensed the Jedi's presence. He felt surprise from the Jedi but still the Jedi was calm and passive. His anger swelled at the Jedi order. He hated the fact that no matter what they would always remain stone-faced and calm. He wanted nothing more but to see a Jedi cry out in anger or simply weep. The dark skies had little stars shining as Seron continued forth, searching for the Jedi menace..... He sensed a dark presence close to the Jedi but it was no Sith. Whatever it was the Jedi were preparing to defend themselves if need be.

[Orion]

Asajj slowly started to move. If Orion remembered correctly she was well trained with Dual lightsabers. Just as he was thinking that the ignited. Orion ignited his saber staff, the green blades evervescent in the darkness. Maynder had long defeated the other Reborn.

"Maynder, get out of here!"

Maynder left the planet.

Orion eyed Asajj, he had heard the stories of the Dark Jedi who almost could've been a Sith, she was as powerful as the Sith Lord Darth Maul. Matched him in speed and Agility.

She struck first, Orion barely bringing up his aft blade from a surprise overhead blow that was quicker then it should've been. Orion bounced back and returned a wide swing with the same blade and brought down the other quickly to block a duck attack to his legs.

[AndyWanKenobi]

Seron continued to follow the Jedi and his unknown assailant's presences. He felt one of the Jedi flee the planet. Whatever they were fighting it made jedi run away..... He entered an Imperial base that seemed abandoned. He realized this is what Tavion was talking about when she said this was one of the sources for reborn or at least it used to be..... As he continued to get closer he could hear the familiar sound of lightsabers clashing. He grabbed one of his lightsabers but did not ignite it. He simply walked to the battle and smiled knowing a Jedi would die today......

[Orion]

Asajj was always known for her fast lightening attacks, and extreme usage of her sabers. Driving Orion back into the far wall was an incredible venture. He could hardly believe the speed of her driving force. He could do nothing but parry, block, block, parry right, parry left, down block, near miss, then he tumbled sideways catching her off guard slicing her leg, she winced and screamed a blood curtling battle cry. The leg was still attached and she focused force energy towards the wound and stopped the pain and continued her onslaught. Then, she stopped. Orion also stopped, they both looked and saw the Sith, as he stood holding on to his single saber hilt.

[AndyWanKenobi]

Seron smiled down at both of the combatants. He stood on higher ground watching the two and ignited one saber. The purple blade erupted from the hilt. He flipped forward and landed in front of them. He landed with his face looking towards the ground. Orion and Assaj made no move but simply watched him. He slowly looked upwards, his long black hair shielding his face revealed very little. As he looked up more, his hair pulled back and his eyes were revealed. He had black iriss' that nearly took up his entire eyeball. He stood up from his crouched position. He took a quick step back and placed his lightsaber in an unknown form. His blade was positioned low to his side.
"Well well well..... What do we have here? A Jedi, Dark Jedi, and...." Points to himself. " A Sith...."

[Darth Morder]

Name: Darth Morder

Race: Not Disclosed

Class: Tainted Lord of Darkness

Weapons: Force Lightning, Telikenetic Massacre, ESP, Telepathy, Dark Stare.

History: Not much is known about Darth Morder's history but some claim that he goes back to the times when yoda was young and the republic was nothing more than a proposition. What seems clear is that he's full of hatred and unlike many sith (Like Darth Abbadon) tottaly engulfed by the Dark side of the Force. It is only in the recent years that Morder revealed his identity when he falsely claimed interest in joining the Sith Order. Of course due to the unpredictable aura of the Dark Side the sith were fooled hook, line & sinker and introduced Morder to their leader Darth Cheewub. It was only when dragged into the desert and tortured that Darth Morder decide to reveal his TRUE style and form the Tainted Monastical Order. With an Apprentice gained within minutes of opening the Order's public monastry the Order's numbers are said to be growing rapidly in other Monastries throughout the Galaxy.

[Orion]

Orion looked at the Sith, but then he saw the glowing eyes of Asajj, she smiled. "Whoever said I was a just a dark jedi." She force pushed the young sith into the far wall, Orion barely had time to block her next onslaught. She pushed forward and forward, then something came into realization to her. She needed her old body, or one like it if she was going to be able to fight Orion, the Jedi Master, though not gaining any ground was not showing any signs of fatigue or giving up on defense. This Master completely in tune with the Force. Asajj stopped and backflipped.

"Until next time Jedi, when I return in my previous form, I will continue my quest to destroy whatever Skywalker exists now."

She ran away at lightening fast speed. Orion stood, and disengaged his blade. He hooked it onto his belt. Then he went over and the threw the unconcious Sith over his shoulder. He carred him to his shuttle and locked him into the cargo hold, it was time to head back to the Praxeum on Ossus and report to Luke what just happened. Orion had a distinct feeling that Asajj isn't alone on this questto kill Luke, what part that Sith had to play was not clear to Orion either, yet.

[AndyWanKenobi]

Seron woke up in the cargo hold with a loud ringing in his ears. He realized he had a concussion and took a seat. He knew he was captured so he didnt even bother reaching for his weapons. He sensed that his force abilites were dampened and realized he couldnt use the force. He grew nervous since this was the first time in many years he lost his connection to the force. That would make any force user feel weak. The Jedi filth had done something to him or the room to prevent force usage. Perhaps it was the ysalimiri? He didnt know nor did he care. He slowly got up and started to remember what happened. He had stupidly underestamated the dark sider and payed for it. He cursed himself for making such a stupid mistake. He dropped to his knees and closed his eyes meditating. As soon as his eyes closed voices were heard and memories appeared and then he remembered.......

"The slavers are ruthless...."
"We are not fighters....were farmers!"
"We are not fighters as well but we must do what the Force calls on us to do...."
FLASH
A lightsaber ignites and blue blade appears.
FLASH
"Jedi.... show yourselves! You cant protect them forever..."
FLASH
"Seron run!"
"Father!!!!!!!"

"Nooooooo!", Seron screamed. His eyes flashed open and sweat ran down his forhead. He was weak....

[Leia Organics]

Fellow Senators I approach you with an invitation.

I'm sure by now you're all sick and tired of Darth Cheewub and his Bedwetting Apprentice Darth Abaddon saying "Join the sith or we shall destroy you all" and other ridiculous banter about the Sith eliminating those who refuse their views on life. I surely was and that's why I joined the Tainted. Unlike the Sith we don't use Intimidation and hollow threats of Join or Die (like the before mentioned bedwetter is famous for).

We simply offer all who are unsatisfied of how dealings against the sith are currently being conducted by their associations the chance to join an Order that resists the Sith ways and ignores their lifeless psychoblabber. Once again unlike the sith we will think nothing of it if you choose not to join. But you are welcome to help us defeat the Sith.

Darth Some Bryst
Tainted Apprentice

[Orion]

Orion had no clue where to begin his research, the navacomputer wasn't telling him anything and any sense of the Force Asajj could be in wasn't apparent at all. This was frustrating, so he decided to wake his newfound companion, or enemy.

He opened the door of the cargo hold only to find the Sith in deep meditation. He sense that this Sith could never have beaten him, nor Asajj, this was a Sith apprentice, looking for a master. He felt pity for the young man, noticing that the dark side was not as strong in the Sith as one would assume Orion stretched out in the Force, the meditation did not wan, the Sith couldn't sense Orion looking into his brain. Orion saw images of a man killed by what looked like a blue blade, he saw screams, a child running away in tears. A dead man's body the reason. A blue blade and indecipherable figure looming overhead.

Orion came out of the meld feeling more pity for the Sith. He pressed a button near the wall and the ysalamiri toxins started clearing out of his prisoners cell. He closed the cargo bay doors and said, "If he truely is evil, he will try to break free, kill me, take my ship and do what he will. If he's not as evil as I thought, he may still break free but where he was beaten by Asajj, he may yet realize his power is not near as strong as it could possibly be.

[AndyWanKenobi]

Seron continued with the meditation closing off the entire world around him. The images he learned to supress through the dark side had began to appear again.

The Jedi with the blue blade stood in front of 20,000 humans and aliens preparing them for the coming onslaught. Nine other Jedi stood at his side ready to lead the army of farmers against the slavers.
FLASH
The man was once again killed but not by a lightsaber. The lightsaber was trying to defend him, at least it's wielder was. The man was still killed and the boy ran out into the rain screaming.
FLASH
"We have ships to help you escape...."
"We will not leave our home Jedi! We will use those ships to FIGHT!"
"Then we cant get involved...."
"We already are involved Vius!"

Seron wondered why the images were returning. His dark side meditation was no longer helping. Perhaps because of Tavion's death? It began when he started hunting this Jedi. He sensed that he was destined to join his path but he didnt want to believe he would join a Jedi. As he pulled out of his meditation he sensed the familiar feeling the Force gives a Force user. Relief washed over him and he stood up. He force threw several crates away and approached the door. He reached out to tear apart the locking mechanism when he sensed that it wasnt functioning or that it was turned off. He didnt understand and slowly opened the door.

[Orion]

Orion sensed him coming. Wondering what action he would take. He stood, staring at his cockpit door, wondering what would happen with the Sith would enter. He stood straight, his hands folded behind him, his sabers on his belt. This Sith, for some reason Orion found had a different purpose, like their paths had been meant to cross for whatever reason. Orion awaited what would happen next.

[AndyWanKenobi]

Seron opened the cockpit door and found the Jedi staring at him calmly. Seron was hit with a blast of confusion. The Jedi acted as if he had seen Sith everyday. He hated that smug arrogant calm look on his face. He looked just like Vius when he stood still calmly. He cleared his throat and stood tall.
"What do you want with me? Did you want your hated enemy to come to you weakened? Kill me if thats what you want. Just end these stupid games....", Seron said.

[Orion]

"This isn't a game young one. This is a test, I sense you are struggling with your own inherent evil. You do not understand the powers you have recieved from the staff of Ragnos, because there is no one left to teach you how to use them. If you were to fight me you would be beaten almost instantly because you are not strong enough in the Force to face me, a Jedi Master. I did all of this to see if you would actually give in to you're anger. The fact that you haven't yet tried to strike me down is proving my point. Are you truely dark, or are you confused? Or maybe I knew that you would be confused by this site so I decided to stand still on purpose. Now I leave you asking yourself what to do, should you attack, with your sabers so close in range? *points to a shelf* Is this Master providing me into a trap, or is he offering me a chance to show my actual powers? Many questions young one. You have no choice but to ask yourself. I however, will remain standing here awaiting the choices you make. I warn you, it's not likely you can beat me."

Orion continued to stand, awaiting the young Sith's decision.

"And keep this in mind as well, if the cult of Ragnos is gone, and the sith destroyed, are you truely a sith, since you're training is not complete?"

[AndyWanKenobi]

Seron watched him carefully wondering what he was up to. His face twisted into a scowl. The Jedi was exactly like the Jedi that tried to save his enslaved world but he was completely different somehow. He couldnt make sense of it but the Force compelled him to join him. Seron didnt know if the end of their paths would give him power but he knew that it was.....right.
"I dont understand why you wont kill me out right Jedi filth.", Seron said. He force grabbed his lightsabers and ignited both.
"But I wont stand around and die defensless....!", Seron cried out.
Orion force pushed him backwards back out of the cockpit. Seron flipped back up and ran towards Orion swinging his sabers. Seron swung down and then swung across Orion's shoulders in several twirls of his sabers trying to gut and behead him. Orion using his amazingly quick Jedi reflexes simply dodged every attack easily. Orion flipped over Seron and kicked him in the back knocking him forward. Seron force jumped from the ground and tried to kick Orion in mid-air. Orion spun away and and force held Seron down while he was still in the air. He force threw his lightsabers aside.
"Enough!", Orion said to the beaten Sith.
Seron cried out in anger and tried to force his way out of the hold. Orion placed him on the ground gently.
"It seems nothing I do will alter our fate. I cant kill you and you wont kill me. Sith and Jedi...united...", Seron chuckled at the irony.
"You are no Sith. You are not even a Dark Jedi. You are a confused force wielder no more, no less. I defeated you without even igniting my lightsaber. Not because im better but because you are angry. THAT is your greatest weakness. I am a Jedi master. Learn to pick your battles....", Orion said. Seron looked at him in disgust and slowly got up. He didnt dare reach for lightsabers. The Jedi may have said he wasnt better but Seron knew he was highly skilled.
"So your saying I have the potential to defeat you?", Seron asked. Orion shook his head.
"You shouldnt see it as the potential to defeat me or anyone but as the potential to be more than you are......", Orion said slowly.


(I added dialouge just for effect but if you dont want me speaking for your charecter, tell me and ill change it.)

[Orion]

(Andy, It's okay to speak for my character, and I'll speak for yours as well too if that's ok)

"I find myself confused, more confused then I've ever been. When Tavion was alive I was an Elitist. My powers surged and I even killed a few of you're famed Jedi Knights," Seron said, they were at the Jedi Praxeum now, and Orion had called a council with Seron, and Jedi Master Jaden Korr. (For our gaming purposes, even though Jaden is a customizable character, we'll make him a Kel'Dor Male).

"Then when I destroyed the staff," said Jaden, "You're powers waned and decreased, but did not dissappear like most of her followers."

"Exactly," Seron noted that Jaden was the one who had defeated almost all of his allies in the Ragnos cult, including their leaders Tavion and Alora.

"That must mean you we're originally already connected to the Force. That staff was a catylyst to give people, who were not supposed to even have midi-chlorians in their blood, to be infused with the Force, much like Desann's Kaiburr crystal machines, the same thing happened to one of those miners on Artus Prime, they we're already connected to the force through their midi-chlorians, however their body died in the process and the spirit of Asajj Ventress placed herself inside," Orion said.

"What exactly does Asajj want?" Jaden asked.

"She wants her old body back, that I know for sure, or one like it, it's safe to assume she has achieved that goal as she flew off planet in a leftover shuttle from the imperial evacuation their," Orion hesitated, "She also wants Master Luke Skywalker, dead, her aim is to kill him."

Jaden crosses his hands, "Vader," he said in a soft spoken voice.

"Yes," said Orion, "she wants vengeance for her defeat by Anakin Skywalker, and she'll do anything to get vengeance, even by killing his offspring."

Seron watched the two masters, he was nervous, he was in the potential enemy base, and powerless, the Force told him to stay still, that Orion was his key to great power, and it also had something to do with Asajj Ventress. But what, he had no clue.

[AndyWanKenobi]

As the Two Jedi spoke, Seron looked down at his artificial arm. Jaden had cut it off in a skirmish when Jadne had tried to confront Tavion. Seron hated the Jedi but when he saw the look on their faces when he mentioned the Jedi he killed he couldnt help but feel remorse for his actions. He thought about this Assaj Ventress they spoke of. It seems she was a "relic" from the Clone Wars. Way before Seron's time. Seron had never heard of her but then again most data on the Clone Wars was wiped out by the Empire. Seron had an idea when Orion mentioned that she wanted her old body back. He interrupted the two Jedi after the long moment of silence.
"If this Sith wants it's body back, how will it go about by getting it?" Seron asked.
"I doubt she can literally find her OLD body. She was killed during the height of the Clone Wars.", Jaden explained.
"Then she willl more than likely clone herself.....", Seron said. Orion nodded slowly and looked at Seron.
"More than likely.......", He simply stated.

[Orion]

"Well," Jaden said, "You should go to Rattatak, Asajj's homeworld, where she was found by Darth Tyranus years ago. It's where she was trained according to the Jedi Holocron, by a Jedi."

Orion nodded, "What about Seron here?"

Jaden looked at the young man, "He needs to understand that one, there are no Sith left in the galaxy, and two, he should go with you. Something tells me he will be of exceeding importance. The Force is making me sense his cause is ours."

"Very well, what do you say Seron?" asked Orion, "Are you willing to learn more about the lightside and help me find Asajj?"

(I'll let you answer this one)

[AndyWanKenobi]

Seron was forced into another memory as Orion asked him was he willing to learn about the Lightside.

FLASH
"The 27 of you were chosen because we found you were all Force sensititve. There maybe more but time is of the essence, hopefully you all will be enough to turn the tide. Its time you learned of the....Force."


Seron shook himself out of the memory and looked at the two Jedi. He thought about it carefully and knew he would go with them.
"Yes, i'll go but dont be naive. I am not joining the lightside nor will I ever. Even if true power came from the lightside I would never lower myslef by turning into one of you. Not after what you did.", Seron said coldly. "Oh...and by the way? There maybe no Sith left in the Galaxy but the Dark side's fire will never be put out nor its thirst for power be quenched........"
He turned and walked out of the chambers and waited for Orion to join him.

[Orion]

Orions ship had seen better days, he used to be in the infamous Blue A-Wing squadron during the Galactic Civil War. Then he bought the Crusader, an ugly peace of junk. She flew well enough though, Seron sat in the co pilots seat unsure of what he was doing. Rattatak loomed in the viewer in front of them, like a giant chaotic gem, Orion set the ship down in a densely rocky area, near the main arena, where the gladiatorial battles had always been held.

"This place," said Seron, "Is very strong with the dark side."

"Very perceptive," Orion said as the door of the Crusader closed behind them, "She's here, I can sense her."

Seron sensed nothing more then darkness, and it scared him, "Are you sure about this?"

"Asajj must not be allowed to regain her former strength, she killed many Jedi before her death by the hands of Anakin Skywalker."

Seron nodded, and they walked into the arena, noises of battle could be heard as they entered a viewing area with two chairs.

"The battles still rage on these days," Orion noted, watching several aliens duel to the death.

"Did the empire even do anything with this planet?" Seron asked.

"No," said Orion, "It's so backwater that the only ones who knew about it were Emperor Palpatine and his apprentice Tyranus, the one before Skywalker turned to Vader. It posed no real threat to the Emperor and so he left it alone. The Old Republic didn't even know it existed. It was discovered by a marooned Jedi Knight who trained Ventress in the ways of the force, however her master was killed and that drove her to the dark side, being the world champion in all of the gladiatorial bouts, the force her ally. This might be where she and Anakin Skywalker had their final showdown, maybe she is looking for her body here."

Seron noticed that the aliens where down to four, the last man standing was the winner, "So brutal, so pathetic."

"Indeed. Keep you're senses open, if she's here, we can only find her in the Force."

"Yes Mas-" Seron stopped himself, "Yes, Jedi."

[AndyWanKenobi]

Orion quickly looked over at Seron and gave wry smile and simply went back to watching the games. Seron did'nt know why he had almost called him master. He felt disgusted that he almost went back to one of them. To live in servitude instead of living to rule. Seron looked around at the arena stands and noticed there was large VIP box for important officials. He noticed the leader of this crummy planet watching the fight bored as if he had seen this many times. Seron turned to Orion.

"How is it you know so much about her past?", He asked suspiciously. Orion answered without taking his eyes from the brutel battle.

"It is in the New Jedi archives, taken from Jedi holocrons and other sources.", He answered simply.

Seron nodded at this and watched the games, keeping an eye out for another human. It would be impossible to find Assaj in the large crowd. For a desolate and unknown world many people were here watching the fights. A native sat walked over to them and pulled out illegal spices.

"Hello foriegners, welcome to my homeworld. How would you like to buy some spice? Freshly mined from Kessel.", He smiled and offered it.

Orion shifted his leg and a part of his robe fell to the side revealing his lightsaber. The dealer's eyes widened as he recognized the weapon.

"Jedi! Two of them eh? I'll offer a special deal for you two.", He exclaimed.

Seron flinched as he called him a Jedi and he grew angry. He force choked him till he dropped to his knees. Orion looked at Seron calmly and patiently waited for him to release his hold. Seron was going to kill the dealer until he saw the look on Orion's face. He quickly let go and let the dealer run away in fear.

"Killing him would have accomplished nothing. He did nothing wrong but simply state what he saw....", Orion said.

"Then he is blind! I am NO Jedi! You and I are nothing alike!", He cried out.

"You and I have more in common than you know my young friend....", He said mysteriously.

Seron was about to ask what he meant when something caught his eye. He looked back at the VIP box and noticed a familiar form lounging next to the leader. It was a Hutt. He remembered vivdly three Hutts coming to his world rich with resources and potential slaves to take. Two of the Hutts were killed but one fled fearing for his own life. He had a great distaste for Hutts as most law abiding folk did. Seron wanted a closer look at the Hutt. He got up and turned away but Orion quickly grabbed his arm.

"Where are you going?", He asked not letting go. Seron looked down at his arm in anger and shoved it away.

"None of your concern Jedi. I'll return shortly, wait for me here.", He answered.

"We are trying not to draw attention Seron. It isnt every day that Jedi come to this planet. By now that dealer is telling his underworld buddies about your stupid attack. If Assajj knows we are here, she will leave this world and simply clone her body or find a new one. ", Orion said.

Seron knew there was merit to his words but he really wanted to see who that Hutt was. The crowd cheered as yet someone else was murdered in a horrible display of barbarism. Seron sat down and watched the Hutt closely.

[AndyWanKenobi]

Meanwhile in the VIP box Werlokk Forekk, the planet's current leader, and Zug the Hutt watched the battle with little concern. They mearly cared about the matter at hand.

"With all due respect....great One, we offered our world's services to someone else before and it seemed we had joined the losing side. We payed for it dearly....", He explained hesitantly.

"Ah Forekk, my friend, please have no fears. I dont want your world, I simply want land, resources, and perhaps slaves if possible?", The fat hutt asked.

"Yes....yes. They are yours for the taking. But I want a larger fee than we agreed on.....", He said now confident.

The Hutt grew slightly angry but he nodded his head slowly and let out a booming laugh. The Hutt's bodyguards watched nervously and the Rattatakk guards did the same.

"You have alot of gall to renegotiate with a Hutt. We have a deal....", Zud held out his hand to shake but just as they were about to clasp the door exploded with smoke and two guards flew out of it. The guards fired into the smoke repteadly. The Bounty hunters surround the Hutt and fire into the smoke as well. After a few moments of silence, the guards slowly move into the smoke. A lightsaber is heard igniting and a red glow is seen. The guards cry out and a hiss and snap is heard as it cuts through them. Assajj Ventress, in her human form, steps out of the smoke slowly and looks at the survivors.

"Well well well...... Werlokk Forekk? You've grown so old since i've last seen you. Then again the last we saw each other was when I was a high ranking officer serving the sepratist, representing our world. You... you were just another peon that luckily survived the Clone Wars.", She said laughing.

The Hutt seemed confused and wanted to get away but made no move to leave. He watched from behind his body guards and motioned for them not to fire.

"Who are you and how do you know me? What do you want?", Werlokk asked. Assajj deignited her lightsaber, knowing she could kill everyone in the room before they got a shot off.

"Dont recognize me? Still using all the muscles except the one that counts eh? I am Assajj Ventress reborn. I was killed a long time ago and word is that YOU have the remains of my body. I want it back....", She said through gritted teeth. Werlokk's eyes widened and he stepped back.


Meanwhile on the arena Orion and Seron could sense the disturbance in the Force but could not tell where it was coming from. Orion opened his mouth to speak but Seron cut him off.

"I sense it too Jedi, I just dont know where its coming from......", He said impaitiently. Seron looked back up towards the VIP area and noticed no one was near the lounge area watching the fight but turned away.

"We must clear our minds and rea....", Orion was saying but Seron interupted.

"Orion...up there! Something is wrong...", He guessed, only saying that so he could get closer to the Hutt. Orion looked at that direction and could sense a familiar presence.

"Wont hurt to take a look. Listen Seron follow my lead understood?", He stressed. Seron sensed several low lives approaching them. Friends of the angry dealer no doubt. Seron Force jumped away into the middle of the arena. Orion reached his hand out futiely.

"Seron wait!", He cried out. "He does not understand subtelty what so ever...." Orion knew they had to move fast because if Assajj was in the crowd she was now alerted to their presence.

Orion got up to follow but sensed a blaster being pointed at him. In one swift move he ignited his lightsaber and spun around deflecting the shot right where it came from. The laser flew right into the head of a Rodian who was instantly killed. Orion deflected more blasts as they came.

Seron landed in the Arena and got up only to be attacked by a gladiatior. He ducked and brought one of his lightsabers upwards cutting him in half. He ignited both lightsabers and began to attack anyone who attacked him. Dust from the ground flew up and only lightsabers and a dark form could be made out. Several gladiatiors rushed to attack him, thinking this is a new fighter. He was no common fighter though. He ducked from one attack and twirled one lightsaber to decapitate one fighter. With the other blade he swung accross cutting another in half.

Orion force jumped over the thugs and landed right in the middle of them. He landed on a Gran crushing him. As soon as he landed he twirled his lightsabers from shoulder to shoulder disarming his opponents. The dealer pulled out a thermal detanator from a higher area of the arena and threw it down. Orion caught it using the force and threw it back up at him. The dealer screamed and a large explosion went off. Orion force pushed people near it away as to not get hurt. The dealer and his friends were killed.

Seron ducked as another attack came from a large gladiatior. He shot out force lightning and fried two of the fighters. He enjoyed watching them die and imagined it was the Jedi but slowly it turned from Jedi to the bounty hunters that helped to enslave his world. His attention span wavered and he didnt noticed a weapon being hurled at him from another fighter. Just as the vibroblade was about to cut through his head a lightsaber cut through it. Seron turned quickly to see Orion force pushin the fighter away.

"You saved my life Jedi.....", He said surprised.

"I can see that..... Enough with the arena and to the VIP area quickly!", Orion shouted. He Force jumped hundred of miles and feets to the VIP lounge. Seron quickly followed and the crowd booed as they fled, enjoying the two Jedi in the arena.

Werlokk was on his knees clutching his throat as Assajj force chocked him. He reached out to the Hutt and his surviving guards to help him but the Hutt made no move to help. The Hutt feared no one but did not want to sensely fight a force user. If Werlokk was killed, controling his world would become even easier and cheaper.
"Where is my body!?", She yelled. Just as she was about to crush his throat she felt a disturbance in the Force. A loud explosion was heard and she ran to the box area. She saw two lightsabers ignited and fighting off thugs and gladiatiors. She let go of Werlokk and knocked him over the head using the hilt of her saber.
"Time to go....", She lifted up his body over her shoulders and headed for the doors. As the smoke cleared she noticed Orion standing there.

"Going somewhere Assajj?", He asked calmly. She turned to run out through the box but saw Seron standing there.

"No where to run Assajj.....", Seron threatend. Just as he and Orion were about to team up against Assajj, Seron saw the Hutt. To most humans Hutts all look the same. Although Seron would never forget this Hutt. He was one the three Hutt's to attack his world. The only survivor of the three. Seron's anger grew and he clutched his lightsabers tightly moving towards the Hutt. Orion sensed what he was about to do.

"Seron no!", He cried out. Assajj force pushed Orion back and ran past Seron whos attention was focused completly on the Hutt. She force jumped out of the arena and headed towards a speeder held area. Orion turned to Seron but knew at the moment Assajj was more important. He knew Seron could handle himself. He ran to follow her. She jumped into a speeder and fled. Orion jumped onto a swoop nearby and followed after her.

The bounty hunters attacked Seron as soon as he approached. He deflected blast after blast. A Sullastan pulled out a repeating blaster and Seron jumped behind a large statue. The statue was nearly obliterated shot after shot. The Hutt and two guards ran through a secret door Werlokk showed them in case, they were attcked by assasins. It seemed the door came in handy. Seron flipped into the air over the Sullastan and as he came down he cut him in half. Seron turned to see the Hutt fleeing and he ran towards the door. A large bounty hunter in Mandalorian armor appeared from behind a pillar. He fired rope around Seron's arms and yanked him accross the floor. Seron dropped his two lightsabers and was pulled accross the floor. Seron got back up and kicked the bounty hunter in the chest. The bounty hunter fell back but came back up quickly. Seron slipped his hands through the rope which were too tight causing his hands to bleed. He punched Seron but he quickly ducked and came up with an uppercut. The two were dragged into a fist fight. Blow after blow was painful for Seron because of the armor. Seron jumped into the air and did a spin kick to knock him off balance. The bounty hunter fell to the ground. Seron thinking he won reached out for his lightsabers only to find the bounty hunter standing up again. He punched Seron and shot out flames from his gaunlet on his arm. Seron threw his cloak in the way and fell back. Seron got up and the two faced each other.....

Meanwhile Orion raced to catch up to Assajj. He masterfully flew the swoop using his quick reflexes. He dodged any obstacles in his way and slowly caught up to speeder. Assajj saw him behind the speeder and slowed down so they would be side to side. The two looked at each other and then Assaj rammed into his swoop. He was forced to move off but moved in closer. She continued to ram into his swoop bike. Hi ignited his lightsaber and swung at the speeder. She moved it away just in time but the outside was damaged from the blade but no critical systems were hit. The two were slowly approaching a large ditch and had to turn. Assaj didnt notice it because she was focused on Orion. He did and moved the swoop closer......

(You finish it here. Plz dont kill the Mand. or Zud. Phew long post!)

[Orion]

Orion turned a sharp left, almost 90 degrees. Asajj looked and leaped a split second before her speeder slammed into the rock face exploding into oblivion she flew back and landed on a high ridge. By now the human form of the body she was in had formed itself into a woman, making her more agile and graceful. However her original form was more perfect, and only by reentering her old body could she return to her former strength. Orion hovered about a hundred meters away, watching her.

"I admit Jedi, you are smarter then I took you for."

Orion grinned, "I was taught by a Skywalker. Of course I am."

"A student of the son of the Chosen one I take it. It would be appropriate that the Jedi are smarter, quicker, stronger and can learn faster now, since the prophecy has been fulfilled I take it?" she asked.

"Yes, Palpatine is dead. The sith no longer exist. There teachings died with Sidious and Vader," Orion stated.

**********

Meanwhile, Seron glanced to his left and saw a possible escape from his current plight, he let the rock flow hurled at the Mandalorian slamming into his helmet and knocking him out cold. He ran and lept onto a crevice that led to the path that Zug took. Seron ran towards the Hutt who was attempting to board a ship on the platform.

"Stop!" Seron screamed and stopped, eyeing the Hutt.

The Hutt eyed him, "Aren't you one of the extras?"

Seron glared at him, "Extras? Is that all we were to you, extras?"

"Profit is profit Jedi."

"I am NOT a JEDI!" Seron surged fourth to kill Zug, however a rocket slammed into his back, knocking him forward. The Mandalor had awakened. Seron flew forward and slammed into the far side of the docking bay. The Hutt and his Mandalore warrior boarded the cruiser and flew off of Rattatak.

******

Orion was amazed at the speed and agility of Asajj, his double bladed saber barely able to keep her fast lightening speed attacks at bay. She had a fierce hatred for the Jedi, Orion sensed that she wanted to kill him, kill all the Jedi. She would even kill Seron, who was just Orion's apprentice. She would continue to fight until every last bit of energy in her destructive force was laid to waste. How she was able to return was beyond Orion's understanding of the Force. He thought for sure only Sith could lay their spirits in dormant for long periods of time. Just as Exar Kun had kept his form for four thousand years.

Orion did a back flip downward slash forcing Asajj to leap sideways and land in a crouched position where she attempted an uppercut that Orion was ready for. He parried easily and kicked her backwards. He decided that the only way to win this fight was to put himself on equal grounds. He disconnected the saber at the middle to give himself two duel blades. He pressed a make shift button on their sides and the blade color turned from green to blue.

"The Jedi have become more creative I see," Asajj said in the ready position she put herself in after recovering from Orion's hard kick.

Orion smiled, flipping the sabers in his hands and suddenly rolled and stabbed forward. Asajj was unfamiliar with this attack and took a saber through the right thigh. She screamed bloody murder and Orion withdrew putting himself in the ready position.

"Who, who are you?" she asked.

"I am Orion, Prince of the Starzz, a god to my people back on Verasuul."

Asajj looked at her surroundings. She should have known she was fighting a Starzzian. Those people where well known for their unconventional tactics and were never messed with. Verasuul was rarely visited by outsiders. No one really knows where it is. How this Starzzian left the planet and became a Jedi was a rare thing indeed. Even the Yuuzhan Vong had somehow missed the planet during their attempted invasion. She saw that she had nowhere to run. All of a sudden a cruiser stopped in mid-air. A door opened in the side and the Mandalore that had bested Seron stood, "If you want your body you'll come with us," the bounty hunter said. Asajj leaped to the door and the Mandalor helped her inside.

Orion shut down his sabers and reconnected them into the double blade. He hooked it on his belt and got onto his speeder. He flew to the docking bay only to find an unconcious Seron, he put the apprentice over the end of the speeder and flew to his ship. He laid Seron in the medical room and took off.

"You can't run forever Asajj. You fear the Starzzians don't you. You're old master told you about them didn't he. That was you're personal goal. To become the best duelist in the galaxy. Because if you ever were to meet a Starzzian you would want them to be beaten. Well you've met one and this one happens to also be a Jedi Knight," Orion continued to ponder what had happened, and using his navacomputer began tracking the Hutt's ship, thanks to the tracking device he had thrown to it's hull when Asajj boarded.

[AndyWanKenobi]

Seron woke up bitter losing yet again. He headed towards the cockpit and sat next to Orion.

"Losing battles has become a common theme for me it seems...", He said angrily.

"You did a foolish thing, chasing after the Hutt. Assajj has escaped and many people have died. We have to get one thing straight Seron. I asked for you to accompany me but not if you pull stunts like that. We have to work together. Master and pada....." Orion was saying but Seron jumped in.

"I am NOT your padawan nor will I ever be! End this nonsense right now! Stop trying to convert me because I wont!" Seron yelled.

"Conversion is an illusion, you have already made the choice to join me Seron, you just cant bring yourself to accept it." He explained.

"What did you mean you and I were'nt so different? Why did you save my life? If im more trouble than im worth....." He asked.

[Orion]

"Do you have any earthly idea what I am?" Orion asked straight forwardly.

"How would I know anything about you accpet that I should be your enemy," Seron snapped.

"I am a Starzzian. I am the Prince of Verasuul of the Starzzian people. I am supposed to be ruling them. I am supposed to be their god. But I left."

"Why?" Seron asked.

"Because I wanted to be a Jedi Knight. Because we never leave our planet and I wanted to be the first one. However I was banished from Verasuul for making my decision, and for awhile I fell into darkness. You we're born on a planet of slaves. Zug the Hutt and his two cohorts came to take what they could and kill those who stood in their way. Luke Skywalker and I along with his other students came to stop them. We couldn't. They killed a lot of their people including you're father. You were eighteen years old at the time. Tavion found you, wiped you're memory and replaced it with one where a Jedi was striking your father down. Only recently did you discover the real memory. The one where a Jedi defended you and told you to run away. That Jedi was me. I was thirty three and almost a Jedi Knight at the time. Tavion got to you first and that's why Jaden spared your life. I told him about you and he recognized your Force sense. You were already Force sensitive before Tavion filled you with the power of the staff of Ragnos. That's why you didn't loose the ability to use the Force when Jaden destroyed the staff. How you dissappeared and hid from the Yuuzhan Vong invasion for all that time is a mystery to me. Here you are though, entangled by helping me solve a similar situation. A Reborn body that had already been connected to the Force before Desann's sick twisted experiments to give people the Force, laid in dormant and the spirit of Asajj Ventress took over. It's what drew you to me. It's why I asked you to come with me. It's why I didn't kill you or spare your life."

Seron sat back, shocked at the words of the Jedi.

(I know this may not be what you want for your character in this RP but you know, in other rp's this can be different. But it works for this one don't ya think?)

[AndyWanKenobi]

Seron couldnt bring himself to believe Orion's words. He closed his eyes and shut it all out for a moment. The sound of the ship's engines were his focus at the moment. He saw the Jedi in his dreams again clouded but the image began to clear up and he saw all of the Jedi clearly. Orion stood next to Luke Skywalker while Viuss stood on the other side of him. Images flooded his mind clearly and he saw himself training with Orion. Viuss was an angry and arrogant Jedi. He didnt want to help Seron's "people". There was no one race on his world but many because from across the galaxy who simply wanted an easier and better life. Luke, Orion, and three other Jedi made it out alive. The rest were killed in different ways. In the end Viuss proved that even arrogant Jedi were heroes as well. He crashed his damaged ship into the core of one of the Hutt yachts which was bombarding the planet in an attempt to murder the rebels. He killed one of the Hutts, Norla the Hutt. Luke skywalker lead the land forces and stormed Zug the Hutts palace which was built by the locals. Orion had lead an underwater attack in a hidden base in the Juri ocean. The last Hutt had a massive armada of ships in an attempt to control water going resources. Orion and Seron were teamed up and were in one fighter heading towards the ships to bomb them. Some of the resistance had stolen boats and helped with the attack from the water. Seron's father went with Luke and helped attack Zug. When the battle was over he found out his father had been killed, giving his life. Seron grew furious because his entire family was killed during the invasion, then his his father and two sisters were the only survivors. His sisters had gone missing when his city was attacked and then his father killed later on. He couldnt deal with it. He was young to the Jedi ways and inexperianced. He had one last discussion with his master, Orion, and then fled his world, never to be seen again until Tavion found him. Now he understood why he called Orion master or nearly had done it. He realized years of his life had been wasted on hating people who died for him and his world. Now that he could see it so clearly, he wondered how he could have even thought the Jedi were responsible. He then realized the extent of Tavions power through Ragno's staff.

"No...please no....", He begged for it not be true. He closed his eyes fighting back tears.

"Im sorry Seron, I didnt say knowing the truth would be easy. I didnt want to tell you, I saw the barriers in your mind beginning to break on their own and hoped you could slowly figure it out but time is of the essence. I NEED my old padawan back. I will show you the full truth, if you'll allow me...", He said gently not pushing it.

After a long moment of silence Seron slowly nodded his head and got up from the cockpit. Orion set the ship to auto pilot and lead him to a meditation chamber, a small room with two strangely shaped chairs in the middle(ala the meditation chamber in AOTC). It used to be one of the cargo holds but Orion had changed it for this purpose. Orion kneeled and motioned for Seron to do the same. Seron did and the both closed their eyes. He raised his hand to Seron's face and slowly tore down the barriers that Tavion had placed. Seron began to remember his entire life clearly....his REAL life. Seron remembered the entire invasion in full detail and when the moment came back to his family he yanked himself out. Orion opened his eyes quickly and looked at Seron.

"Whats wrong?", He asked.

"You may not have killed my father but he still died helping YOU all. What about my sisters?", He asked intently.

"We dont have all of the answers Seron....im sorry", He answered sadly.

[Orion]

Orion pondered for a moment, "Zug," he said allowed.

"What, Master?" Seron perked up.

"Zug has your sisters. If they are still alive Zug has them as his slaves, probably his dancers. I wonder."

Orion places his hands on Seron and surged through the Force into Seron's memory. Suddenly Seron and Orion were back on that slave planet. The yacht was exploding and two girls we're running. A safety pod launched Zug from the yacht barreling down towards the ground. Orion surged more connecting their minds to the mind of the Hutt, across the galaxy.

"Those two girls," Zug said to his Mandalore, "I want them."

"Yes sir," the Mandalore said in a cold voice, launching from the pod he rocketed towards the girls and caught up with them. He noticed they were running faster then they should be, "Sith spit," the Mandalore said and turned on his boost, snatching one up into his arms the other jumped to the ground, obviously the older and smaller one.

Orion was loosing the connection, the Zug was fighting him with his strong mind. He managed to see an image of the Mandalore flying back to the pod with only one of the sisters, the other had dissappeared. Suddenly Seron and Orion fell backwards as the connection was broken by a dark presence.

"Asajj," Orion said smoothly, "She broke the connection. Apparenlty, Zug has one of your sisters as a slave, where the other one is, I do not know."

Seron was hopeful, and yet sad, "Well one of them's alive, we know that. She's alive, they may both be alive."

"Have you ever went back?" Orion asked.

Seron thought for a moment, "No, I meant to after the war but, Tavion took hold of me and it never happened."

"Then your other sister may still be there. So, that's where we'll go."

Seron stood up, "Master, I'm sorry for my behaviour."

Orion looked at him as a father would a son, "Don't worry, fifteen years ago you had a great ability, and that was intuition and strength to find out what was the truth. I see you have not lost those traits."

Seron looked to the side, "It's still uncomfortable calling you master, I am still working on purging the darkness within me. You'll have to excuse me if I want Zug dead, vengeance must be achieved."

"You have a right to be angry Seron, but believe me you do not want to feed that emotion. I've told you that before...fifteen years ago."

"I remember," Seron said smiling.

"Come my still young Padawan, we have your sisters to search for, and a dark jedi to stop."

The two went to the cockpit, about to embark on a mission that would test them both. Asajj Ventress was close to achieving her goal, but Zug the Hutt, was smarter then he looked.

[AndyWanKenobi]

Seron was intrigued by what Orion had done with the mental link to Zug.

"What did you see Orion?", He asked curiously.

"I saw after Master skywalker stormed Zug's palace on your world, Zug fled. He went to his ship and sent his mandalorian to catch your sisters.", He explained. "Seron dont worry, we will find your sisters and stop both Zug and Assajj. We need to prepare you though first."

"Train me?", He assumed.

"Exactly. We have many hours until we reach Zug. I cleared out the second cargo bay for meditation and third for training. Follow me....", He walked towards the cargo bay, followed closely by Seron.

Orion raised his hands showing Seron the cargo bay and its contents. He walked to one end of the cargo bay at the opposite side of Seron. Seron was confused and waited for his instructions. Orion force grabbed his lightsabers away and put them on the floor next to his feet.

"Come...and get your lightsabers back.....", He said. Seron thought that would be easy enough and walked forward. He felt a tremor in the Force and sensed it was coming from Orion. He took another step and back flipped away as a metal box flew at him. He began to realize what the test was about. He ran forward and Orion threw spare parts, boxes, and metallic objects at Seron. Seron flipped and dodged each one quickly letting the force guide his body. As soon as he reached Orion, the Jedi force jumped into a higher section of the cargo bay and motioned for Seron to follow.

"What now?", Seron asked feelin cocky.

"I wanted to see if you were still attuned with the Force. It seems you are. I would be wasting time, teaching you how to use rudimentary Force powers would be a waste of time.", Orion said.

He ignited his lightsaber and stood in an ancient Jedi form.

"You are a skilled swordman? Show me...."

(Con. the duel)

[Orion]

With flowing unison the master and the apprentice fought. Duel sabers vs. Duel sabers. Orion sensed that Seron knew what he was doing. However he could still easily kill Seron if he was an enemy, Orion laxed, and let Seron feel powerful. Orion was easily blocking every attack, letting Seron search for new ways to get at him.

"Trust your feelings. There's always a possible opening." Orion told Seron. The young Padawan went at Orion with a ferocity unmatched. He was thinking about the possibility of his sisters being alive. A parry to the left and Orion turned with a wide swing to Seron's left, he almost didn't block it....

"Don't loose control," Orion warned and laxed back into his defensive stance.

Seron continued to surge in the force as if it were the mattress of life, guiding him softly along the path of righteousness and light. He was feeling a warm feeling. His sisters were still alive, alive! After all this time he was going to be with them again. He felt happiness and joy, and he had a real master, not some insane witch with empty goals. Tavion had been the bane of his strength in the force, he would be a full knight by now had it not been for her. He would've been on the road to master. But he had found his old master.

Parry, thrust, Orion jabbed out and Seron turned his saber sideways in front of him, the horizontal flip turned the jab into nothing and Seron kicked Orion backwards. The master force flipped and landed on his feet.

"Good," Orion said and suddenly he wasn't laxing anymore. He threw his saber towards Seron and managed to sever one of Seron's sabers in half. It was now two blades vs. one. Orion attacked Seron with a barrage of deadly velocity as he forced him up against a wall, knocked the one saber out of his hand and put the end of his saber to his throat, "You still have a lot to learn."

Orion disengaged his blades and hooked them besides his saber staff, then he went to a crate and took out a saber, "Here," and he gave it to Seron. Seron ignited it, noting the same color as the one he just lost.

"Master," Seron said as Orion sat in a meditative position, "Will I make it?"

Orion opened his eyes, "That depends entirely on you Seron. If you think that you can be more then just a Padawan, a Jedi Knight is what you'll become. Be wary of the possible darkness left inside you though. It is the most dangerous time for you, and this time you're aware and not under control by Tavion. You will have to make a choice."

Seron nodded and sat in the same meditative position. The two Jedi, Master and apprentice sat in quiet resolution. They felt the Force flowing through them. The ship made it's way to hyper space, to Seron's sister, to the slave planet, Kalai.

[AndyWanKenobi]

Seron sat crosslegged in the meditation bay moving metallic objects with his mind, making them encircle him. He reached out to the Force trying to sense what was inside of him. He sensed darkness but a new light shining through piercing the Dark side. He no longer cared about revenge and he felt free of hatred's grasp. He tried to destroy the darkness but he felt he couldnt. He became frustrated and started to lose control.

"You will never accomplish anything if you get so easily frustrated...", A voice called out.

Seron's eyes shot open and he looked around quickly but saw no one. He sensed Orion was still in the cockpit. He recognized the voice as his......father.

"Father?", He asked feeling somewhat sheepish.

"Yes...my son....."


(comp troubles. ill continue in a sec.)

[Orion]

Orion felt a prescence, one he hadn't felt since.....

[I]The force is strong with you Seron, that much is true. Stronger then it was with me.

Orion knew he heard the voice of Tal, Seron's father, but he couldn't believe it, he walked in to see Seron in deep meditation.

[I]Orion knows what he's talking about son. Listen to him, let him guide you. You are special. You're destiny awaits you on Kalai and beyond. I will return to you when needed.

Orion heard it clear as day, he nodded to the air, knowing that the presence of Tal was watching over them both.

Seron felt the presence of his father leave his side yet remain with him through the Force. He opened his tear filled eyes to see Orion watching over him. The two JEDI said nothing to each other knowing full well what had just happened. Orion knelt next to his padawan and the two began meditating waiting for the coming battle ahead.


Meanwhile in orbit around Kalai a massive fleet of Zug's armada, including his yacht, circled the planet in a tight orbit. Inside the yacht a show was being put on for Zug the Hutt. Several slave girls danced for the audiance filled with low lives, bounty hunters, thugs, and anyone else that was a dreg to society. The Hutt watched the show with glee and oblivious to the two Jedi after them. Assaj in her human form creeped up to the Hutt. The Kel Dor majordomo tried to stop Assajj from coming any closer but Assaj simply mind tricked the weak alien away.

"Where is my body? You told me you knew where it was placed!", She asked angrily.

"Patience, my friend. You will soon have your body back.", He said in Huttese.

"Fool! The Jedi are coming after us!", She spatted.

"Im counting on it.......", He laughed.
