JediMaster12 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Argus knew where Tradek was heading and said to him through the Force, Try not to get too drunk my friend. Times are hard enough without having to have you drink my bottle of 'special' stuff along the way just to keep you in a fairly decent shape. Keep the comm open. Argus showed fairly roomy rooms for everyone to bed down. He then went away as if in a hurry to see someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbx_Inthusiast Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Merios stood there. "I'm going back to the ship.." And with that, he headed back to the ship. You'll have to go this alone. This.. this presence. Whatever it is, it's making me uneasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 "Dad, stop being so stubborn!" Zoe exclaimed. She continued, "Besides didn't you notice those shadow warriors watching us when we came in? I've been watching their movements and they mean no harm. Some are instructing the young, others are watching. You have to be blind not to see them." Zoe had seen these same warriors before on Alderaan. They were watching no one in particular, just watching and going about their business. She met one of them and knew they meant no harm but were fullfilling an ancient duty, one so old that it preceeded their written record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbx_Inthusiast Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 "You can't hope to understand what I do." He said, walking into the ship gracefully, heading to his quarters. Argus, be on your guard. Watch Zoe for me he projected his thoughts to Argus as he sat down on the ground cross-legged, meditating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 She is right Merios. They mean no harm. Argus sent his thoughts to Merios and let him be to wander about the enclave. Zoe decided to follow and ask questions about the enclave. She was particularly interested in the gardens that were rebuilt, "Argus why the gardens?" "To bring about an atmosphere of peaceful meditation," he replied. He was actually touched that this girl liked him for who he was. A Jedi with no clear alignment. He didn't show it as he gave her a tour. Zoe took everything in and marvelled at the ability of the shadow warriors and the remaining Jedi to rebuilt what had once been destroyed. She asked, "Why is my father so suspicious of everything?" "As a father, I can't say except that you are his daughter, as a Jedi, he believes what he will. There are some things in this galaxy that cannot be met with a light or dark choice. I suspect you that from your time on Alderaan?" "Yes," and Zoe was silent for a moment before speaking, "On Alderaan, when you called to me through the Force, you sounded well different than you do now. It touched me more than my father's pleading. It was as if you were a refuge or something," not sure how to voice her opinion. Argus raised an eyebrow in surprise. He knew the extent of the impact his speaking though the Force had. Never before had anyone admitted to feeling something other than himself but then again something about Zoe made him think differently. The Jedi part of him took over in that she was lost and needed to find her way, the other well, he buried in his heart to protect it. Aware that Zoe was speaking, he listened, "I've been thinking about the Jedi and, well, I want to train again. The way of the Force seems so right some how. Will you train me?"

Xbx_Inthusiast Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 He kept meditating, listening in on their conversation, sad that his daughter had chosen to become a Jedi from a Grey Jedi.. or Sith. Either way, he was glad that his daughter had seen the light, even though it was dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 ((Nice that you say that I am soo dull. Just kidding)) Argus stared at Zoe, ready to drop his jaw in surprise. Instead he raised his brow and gazed into her eyes for a moment and dropped his gaze. Zoe didn't say anything but waited for his response. He said, "I haven't trained a Padawan since, well since I educated the younglings. I'm not sure that your father would approve." "Dad is stubborn about things but he is entitled to what he thinks," Zoe replied, "Besides, I choose you, if you would have me." Argus was touched that she was so determined and he thought inwardly how so alike she was to her father. He also knew that the council needed to hear this or at least Master Kira. He motioned for Zoe to follow and he introduced her to the wizened master who had seen much in his years. With a look at her, he acknowledged her potential in the Force. With a nod he asked, "You choose this padawan?" Argus nodded, "Yes master." Master Kira nodded and left to listen to a report on the Outer Rim. He also mentioned that the council will convene in four standard hours to decide the fate of Jacen. Argus bowed in respect and guided Zoe to a rebuilt meditation room. There he said, "I will train you," seing that she was going to call him master he said, "You may call me Argus still except in front of the masters. I think that would make your father feel a bit better." Turning towards the door he projected to Merios, I noticed you have been listening. If you wish to say something, do so when you are ready. He then turned to Zoe and said, "To begin, intensive physical training will prepare you for the physical demands, meditation will help you to channel the power of the Force." "Yes Argus." "You have an extraordinary ability to channel the Force. We shall begin there," and he motioned her to a training room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbx_Inthusiast Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 She's your problem now, Argus. I won't say anything, but so help me if you turn her against me i'll end your life myself. The first signs of paleness appeared in his face as he was meditating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Argus sensed the mistrust strongly and the anger. He couldn't deny it as he first felt it on Coruscant. Something was not right but he didn't want to worry Zoe as they continued their training. Zoe knew something was not right and she knew it had to do with her father. She decided not to ask but instead concentrated on the task that Argus had given her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbx_Inthusiast Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 He stood up and heading towards the cargo hold, his stomach rumbling a little. He headed inside and walked to the food container, opening it, and grabbing a bag of freeze dried nerf sandwhiches and headed to the kitchen area, near the medical facility. He slipped the sandwhiches into a small oven and pulls it out a few seconds later, taking the two sandwhiches out of the bag and onto a plate. He threw the bag in a trash compactor and sat down, eating the sandwhiches quietly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Argus sighed and continued to train Zoe for the four hours. SHe learned quite a bit until a padawan came to inform him that the council was ready. He sent the message, The Council wishes to speak with us Zoe could sense something was not rigth so she too sent, Dad, please not hard feelings.

Xbx_Inthusiast Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Deal with yourself, you're being trained by him now, you'll be able to hndle yourself. Do not worry what I feel. He finished his sandwhiches and headed back to his quarters, sitting cross-legged on the ground, meditating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Merios, the Council calls us. NOW! Argus put forcefully. For years he had been trodden upon by others and this time he had to make himself known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbx_Inthusiast Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 He stood up, walking out of the ship and into the Enclave. He slowly headed towards the Council chambers, shouldering past Argus. Don't order me around. he thought as he walked into the chamber's seating area, taking a seat cross-legged on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Argus glanced at Merios as he walked into the chamber and gave a rather sad shake. Zoe had felt the anger and went to her father and admonished him in a fierce whisper, "Dad, stop it! You are a Jedi not a schutta!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbx_Inthusiast Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 He ignored his daughter's attempt at insulting him. He whispered toward her, "Sit down and shut up." He looked to the council, bowing a little. "So, why have you called us here?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 "Calm yourself Jedi Merios. The padawan is right, you are angry." Argus was silent watching. The master continued, "We summon you concerning this Jacen you have brought but one of you is missing." Turning to Argus, he asked, "Where is Tradek?" Argus bowed and closed his eyes to call to Tradek, Friend, the Council wishes you here. Bring Bob2 as well. Zoe gazed respectfully at the masters but angry and hurt that her father was being, well, a jerk. She had never seen him that way in all the time that he ever came home. She tried to hide her hurt but Argus felt it. Argus was saddened that a great Jedi was beginning to fall. He reassured Zoe as best as he could but his thoughts were distracted by darkened feelings that were approaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbx_Inthusiast Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 "Angry that a Neutral Jedi is controlling my daughter.. I'd rather have the council take over training Zoe, but I know they do not train adults.." He said, glancing back at the two. 'We make special cases, but in this instance, we cannot.' Said the Master, watching Merios. He just scoffed. "You see? And she'd rather have an ex-Sith train her than her own father." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 The Master raised his eyebrow in disbelief and said, "Argus is no Sith. You feel betrayal from another, the boy that you brought and you suspect everyone that has no clearly defined intentions." Argus entered into the conversation, "I would have been disregarded if Vrook were here because I don't see eye to eye with the teachings all the time. I command the Force and follow the Jedi way."

Xbx_Inthusiast Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 "You see things in grey rather than black, or white. And yet you call yourself a Jedi? Grey is just another shade of darkness." He said, looking back to the masters. "I distrust all around me because when I needed them most, they took off. I bred against the Jedi code, and Zoe disrespects me and doesn't follow what I say. Argus and I have helped each other, but when push comes to shove, he backs out and leaves me with the trouble. Tradek is just a Pazaak playing drunk. No one around me deserves to be considered a friend.. or an ally." He stood up, bowing to the Masters. "If you don't mind, I'd like to go to the study.." He said walking backwards then turning towards the Library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Argus shook his head sadly. Zoe looked like she wanted to burst into tears. The masters seemed to come into an agreement that the others didn't hear, "Much anger and pain. Terrible pain. He must come to terms with it." Argus gave a slight nod and Zoe left to follow Merios. She struggled to hold back the tears when she found him in the Library. She gazed with a hurt expression, "How could you even say that? About me and our friends? They are loyal to the Republic." Tears were brimming and she was barely holdin git together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbx_Inthusiast Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 "The Republic is just a Facade for the true evil. Sure, they look fine. But secretly, i'm sure one of the main contributors is pure evil," he said, pulling out a holocron and sitting down at a table, turning it on and watching the holographic image. He didn't look up from the holographic image, " Loyal is not the word for you, ungrateful and fools are the correct labels." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 "You hurt Dad. I don't know you anymore. You've changed. Stop and come back to what I remembered you being," Zoe was pleading.

Zoe was begging and shedding tears. Argus came in and softly said, "She is right, you have changed. You are not yourself. Stop the madness before it consumes you."
