3yks Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Brax frowned, as Jasra met back up with Karda. He'd been moving across the bar to the swoop lounge to talk to her. But too late. He slipped back away intot he shadows. After a few moments he closed his eyes, and focused. Jasra The faintest whisper in her ears. Skip the arbitration, Karda can handle it. Meet me at Dock 9, Bay 3. Brax moved out of the tavern, heading for his ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 “Jasra. Skip the arbitration, Karda can handle it. Meet me at Dock 9, Bay 3. Jasra suddenly heard Brax’s voice in her head. She nonchalantly looked over her shoulder. There was no one there. But he was somewhere. Close. She needed to make up an excuse to tell Karda so she could be alone. “Erm…Karda? Since you obviously are better at persuasion than I am, and it shouldn’t take two of us to present the evidence to the Selkath Judges, perhaps I should go back to the ship. You know, get things ready. Check that the Doctor’s TARDIS is still there and all.” She paused for a moment. “I can sense Crystal’s getting weaker, although she’s too far away for me to communicate with her,” she added, trying to strengthen her case. “But we have to hurry. If I can get some environmental suits and re-breathers ready while you’re taking care of the Doctor’s release, it’ll save time.” Without waiting for ‘permission’ from Karda, she hurried off to the docking bays. It was a good thing that Dock 9 was on the way to the Ebon Hawk. She’d meet with Brax, and hopefully would still have time to get things together for the rest of the group. She took a deep breath as she approached the sleek, but small ship. It was similar to the larger one she had seen streak off during her first encounter with the Ebon Hawk. Unusual design, but lovely in its simplicity. Perfectly balanced between beauty and functionality. Obviously, Brax’s ship. She suddenly felt a bit apprehensive. Nervous. She bit her lip and looked around. She could see no one, but she could feel his presence nearby. “Brax?” she called out softly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3yks Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 He just, apeared. He was standin by the ship, leaning against it infact. He awatched her a few moments, before he psuhed into a fully upright position. "Have you made up your mind?" He asked. Those strange, grey eyes glanced behind her, as if checking if Karda was right there, he was pretty sure she would let him train her. "I have a gift for you." He pulled one hand from behind him, two gauntlets were there held in his hands. They were stealthier varients of what he wore. They were not as thick as his, and the claws looked more subtle ... "all Zedai use force gauntlet's. You saw what they can do, to a lightsaber, to flesh." He nodded lightly. "My first leason will teach you how to cloud the minds of others, so that tey will see only your hands, this pair is designed to make that easier. Training gauntlets." he nodded, and waited for her to come take them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Jasra slowly approached. She reached out for the gauntlets, then hesitated. She knew that once she accepted Brax's gift, there was no turning back. "Before I accept your gift, I need to know one thing," she said to him. "Kira. And Crystal. And...." She paused for a moment of consideration before continuing. "And, the Jedi, Karda," she said slowly. "They're... they're my friends. And they'll need my help to find these...shards. They mustn't know that you're training me. Not yet anyway. Will you allow me to help them? Will you train me in secret?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3yks Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 He watched her for a few moments, then nodded. "I will train you in seceret," he continued to hold the gauntlets out. "But, I will not hesitate if they attack me. You know that I had valid reason to kill Revan, he murdered my people's greatest leader." He closed his eyes for a moment, "The others won't accept this though, even if they know the reason they will not accept it. Their minds are warped by the Jedi."

JasraLantill Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Jasra nodded. What Brax said was true. The others would never accept him as a friend or ally. "Then I will do my best to conceal your presence from them," she said, reaching out and taking the gauntlets he offered. She put them on. They were soft and flexible on the inside. Tougher than durasteel on the outside. She flexed her hand, then grinned. "Thank you." She looked up at him, then bowed her head reverently. "Master."

3yks Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 He frowned a bit, "I am not your master Jasra, I am your teacher. Leave all your jedi notions behind. We are equals with things to learn from each other. Not a master and an apprentice." He nodded to this. "You must get back to them soon, so let us begin." He turned and moved to where a few seats were off along one wall. And sat down. "Sit." When she had he closed his eyes and reached out placing his gauntleted hands ontop of her own. "Close your eyes, and listen. Listen to the world around you, I know you know how to sense the force. So feel it, sense it flowing around you." He waited, letting her listen for a little while, "Now focus on me, sense my force aura. Feel the way it feels, now feel it from inside." He sent out his own mind, showing her how he saw himself, it was the same, more or less. But then they changed rapidly. His internall feelings slid down, it felt faintly like .. .depression, but her sense of him, vanished. He just ... was gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Eyes still closed, Jasra's brow wrinkled. The feelings she was getting were...well, a bit confusing. It felt almost like how she hid her Force Sensitivity, but in reverse. "Pushing the Force from the inside, out?" she queried him. "Is that how you make yourself invisible to the others?"

3yks Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 He nodded. "More or less, it's making the force into a bubble of 'don't look at me' all around you. It will hide you from most anyone, even a force sensetive who is actively seeking will have a hard time penetrating it, because in a way you're cutting the force out of you." "But it can be more refined, it's harder cuz part of how you're creating the bubble is by tapping into your emotions, which are harder to contorl than other things. But if you focus, you can make things disapear. Like your gauntlet's." He showed her how to do it, through their link ... his gunatlets disapeared, and for a few moments she saw nothign where his hands ought to be. "the problem of course being that if you're nto careful it looks a bit odd. So you have to be even more refined." And she felt him pull the bubble tight around the gauntlets themselves. And his hands apeared. "Now try it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 She did. It was strange, at first, to push the Force out, instead of holding it in or letting it flow through her. But after a few tries, something 'clicked' inside her, and it became easier. She opened her eyes. She could still see her gauntlets, but... "Like that?" she asked hopefully.

3yks Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 He nodded, "Like that." they were gone to him. "You'll have to keep it up, it will be difficult at first, but people shouldn't be looking for you to be wearing them, which will make it easier," He watched her for a few moments, then stood up. "Go now, before Karda realizes you aren't at the Hawk." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Jasra nodded and smiled at him. "Thank you," she said to him, knowing that she'd have another opportunity for more training later. She hurried off to the Hawk. She wished that she could have recalled Master Kelva's instruction on Force Enhanced Speed, but thankfully the distance to the Ebon Hawk's dock was not that far. Scurrying up the ramp, she quickly gathered the supplies she needed--a couple of environmental suits, some re-breathers, and...an empty strongbox, something that might hold the shard without anyone having to actually touch the darn thing. She put these inside the Doctor's blue box he called the TARDIS. Crystal was weakening. She could feel it more strongly than ever now. Perhaps because of Brax's lesson with the Force. She paused a bit, trying to maintain the illusion Brax had shown her how to do. It would take her a bit of effort before it became second nature. She pushed the button on her comm link. "Karda?" she said. "I'm ready here. How are things on your end?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 "Excuse me, miss." one of the Republic guards said, leveling his blaster, "But we have been contacted by the Embassy above. You are under arrest for breaking and entering, as well as theft. If you would please just hand over your weapons..." Kira had returned to one of the side rooms of the complex, and, leaving the enviornmental suit on the ground, she had continued back to the sub until this guard had stopped her. The Shard was radiating power in pulses, her heart quickly synching to match its rythem. "Miss, please lay down your weapons--" The Republic guard stepped forward, reaching for Kira's left hand, which was closest to her saber, and also, coincidentally, held the Shard. He's trying to take it from me! Within seconds, the headless Republic soldier crumpled to the ground, her saber hovering above the body. That bastard of a droid took the other piece of the Shikon No Tama from me. Now that I've found this one, I will NOT give it up!! ~*~*~ "She's in trouble!!" Disciple shouted, his eyes jumping open. "I felt it in my meditations! Kira's found the Shard...and it's taken control of her!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 *Then Jasra and Karda better return shortly. Through her, the Shard has access to a power far more terrible than anything this galaxy has ever seen,* said the Doctor, standing and moving towards the cell barrier. *Come on, Jasra... where are you...?* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobQel-Droma Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Karda hurried into the cell area and produced the evidence from the tapes. Within moments, the Selkath let the rest of their party go. "Karda? I'm ready here. How are things on your end?" "I just freed Atton, Disciple, and the rest. But I think Kira is in trouble. The shard has taken her over again, we need to get to her before she does anything serious." Karda replied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 *Karda!* said the Doctor. *Yes, thank you,* he said, as the Slekath opened the cell door. *Right now, to the TARDIS.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 "I just freed Atton, Disciple, and the rest. But I think Kira is in trouble. The shard has taken her over again, we need to get to her before she does anything serious," Karda said." Jasra could feel that Karda was right. Even from this far away, she, too, could feel a small ripple in the Force. Kira was changing, and not for the better. And, she could feel Crystal weakening even more. They both desperately needed their help. "Understood," Jasra said into the comm. "Just get the Doctor back here fast." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 The Doctor ran past Karda, Tegan and Nyssa close behind them. He collected the sonic screwdriver, among other things, that had been confiscated when he was arressted, then headed back to the TARDIS. *** The Doctor bolted up the ramp into the Ebon Hawk, and threw the door to the TARDIS open. He moved to the controls, barely acknowledging Jasra. He began flicking switches and pushing buttons. He moved quickly, calculating the coordinates. *We must hurry,* he said, to nobody in particular. *The Time circuit has been damaged - we cannot go back in time to help, not even a few seconds. If anything should happen to them... I won't be able to help.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Jasra dropped back near Karda and the Doctor's friends, giving the Doctor plenty of room to do whatever he needed to do to get them to where Kira was. The TARDIS was foreign technology, and she had no idea what he was doing. She looked at Karda askance, trying to detect any hint of suspicions about her previous actions. His focus was on the Doctor, though, and she relaxed. She wanted to keep her training sessions with Brax a secret from everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 "Lay down your weapon!!" Kira looked up from the Republic corpse in her hand. She had strangled this one after he had charged her, weilding a vibroblade. Now, the whole room was filled with a troop of armed guards, the scientists all having been escorted out of 'harms' way. As she gazed at the lead man, his resolve wavered, and he stepped back. "Her-her eyes!" she heard him gasp. Interested, Kira turned to one of the full-wall windows in the room, checking her reflection. Indeed, her eyes were slitted like a cat's and a deep amber. "She's not normal..." another soldier replied, "She's not human!" Kira could practically smell the fear radiating off of them, and she smiled a demonic, toothy grin, which sent the soldiers scudling back again. Her cainine teeth now resembled fangs, rather than actual teeth. She swirled her saberstaff, watching the crystaline blue dance around her. Slidding into a fighting stance, she practically hissed, "Who's first?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 The Doctor pulled one last lever, and the engines kicked in - slowly. *Oh, no, not know, anytime but now...* The engine stopped, and was replaced by a deep, thronging bell. *Oh, bloody hell...* he muttered. "Doctor, what is that?" asked Nyssa. *The Cloister Bell,* said the Doctor darkly. *There's something wrong. Something very wrong.* "You mean with the TARDIS?" *No,* he answered, even more darkly. *With Kira. She's... she's in danger. Extreme danger. And I don't know what I can do about it.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Kira took a step towards them, he demonic eyes glowing, and the soldiers took another step back. She smiled evily, and one of the soldiers lost their footing, stumbling back and pulling the trigger of his blaster at the same time. Kira, hardly noticing it, wasn't able to deflect the bolt until it hit her in the shoulder. Her body bounced back from the impact, blood staining her robes, but she hardly even flinched from pain. "Son of a BITCH!" she screamed, her eyes glowing ever brighter. She flashed into action, without a second thought. She jumped into the lines of waiting soldiers, flashing her saber left and right, casting Force Storm and Kill every few minutes. One by one each soldier fell victim to her rampage...

The Doctor Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 *Oh, I can. But I don't know how long it will take to get the TARDIS into flight,* he said, the Cloister Bell continuing in the background. *Kira does not much time...* he began flicking more switches, and studied the readings. *This doesn'y make any sense!* he said. *It should be working!* He pulled the lever again. The engines struggled to start, worked to a normal level, the began to whine again. The Doctor, frustrated, punched the console with the side of his fist. The TARDIS sputtered for a second, then the column began moving again, and the engine sound returned to normal. *Right,* said the Doctor. *We're off.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Jasra let out a sigh of relief. She started to reach down to take her lightsabre out her boot, then frowned, and then tightened her grip on her Force Pike. She was more capable with it than the sabre, and plus it didn't injure someone as quickly as a lightsabre did. After all, she had no wish to kill Kira, only save her from the shard. She flexed her 'invisible gauntlets', and readied herself. There were some strange sounds from the TARDIS, and then... "Are we there yet?" Jasra asked the Doctor.
