JediMaster12 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Lilah gazed at Lionel, "Well, I don't know where I was born but ny parents talked about it a lot. I grew up on Alderaan. "My parents were always talking about this place that existed beyond known space and talked of the Sang or something like that and they were always wary of something like a secret that they never told me. Anyway, the Jedi found me to be strong in the Force and took me. They trained me. I followed Revan to war but I was never devoted to Malak. He struck me as a brute. Revan saw something and I followed but it seems he saw something in me for he taught me things that he never taught Malak. Revan claimed that I had a huge source of power behind me as if it belonged to me. I don't know. I never really saw myself as a Dark Jedi. I was devoted to Revan, a stupid thing really considering the rule by might rule. You ask me why I left. I left because I was... I was...well I didn't want to do it anymore," she was hesitant because she was actually afraid, afraid of what she discovered of her power. She continued, "I saw no reason beyond simple killing like Malak who had a taste for it. That schutta brute. I also was tired, tired of the lies, the manipulations that I decided to give it up. You ask me why I left, well some things are best left unsaid, at least details." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbx_Inthusiast Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 He smirked. "Well it looks like we have something in common.." he said, glancing at Annika. "We've all heard the stories, you're a legend. But what's the real story behind your life? Might as well talk, it's going to be a long trip."

JediMaster12 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 "Just don't wish for what is truly hounding me to happen. There are things far worse than the Sith," Lilah replied softly. She turned to Annika to listen to what she had to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 "Just a moment," Annika said, pulling the ship out of hyperspace. It had been ten minutes. Tatooine was directly in front of them. A few moments passed and they entered hyperspace again, leaving a trail that seemed to end at Tatooine. "I was six when I was given to the Jedi," Annika finally said. "My parents wanted me to be come a 'servant of the galaxy' and they saw the Jedi as a group that could put me there. They were wrong. The Jedi discovered my Force sensitivity and started training me, but I was impatient with their training. They agreed I was too emotional and tried to correct the 'problem'." "I knew there was nothing wrong with me," she went on, "so I pretended to be what they wanted me to be. It wasn't easy at first, but I got better at it. When they made me a Knight, I left, completely fed up with their phobia of emotions. I wandered for a while before finding my way to the Sith." "The Sith took advantage of my emotions, encouraging me to fuel them, especially anger. While with them, I did many things that could be considered cruel and senseless. While I enjoyed the freedom to express my emotions, I slowly began to realize that the Sith were taking advantage of me." She spun her chair around to face Lionel and Lilah. "And that's why I left them. I can use both Light Side and Dark Side abilities and I do. This galaxy needs at least one servant of true justice." With conviction, she stated, "I am that servant."

JediMaster12 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 "I see," Lilah voiced. She was impressed by the control Annika exhibited over her abilities. She spoke, "My family spoke of our people able to do the same. I thought they were just stories but after what I found out, that's what made me left the Sith and the Jedi."

Writer Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 "There are a few of us," Annika agreed, "though I've never worked with the others. We tend to work alone, having nothing to do with each other or the two sides, Jedi and Sith." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 "The ones I speak of I guess have that ability that I gave us cover with. My family said that they could only be seen if they wished. It's as if they live beyond the breath of the Force or something like that. Like I said, I thought they were just stories," then turning to Lionel she asked, "Why do you want to know about me and Annika? To figure out a way to get rid of us later?" Her habit of being blunt came out. She was suspicious of many things after seeing the horrors she had witnessed before leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountVerilucus Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 The ship finally touched down at Tatooine. "Alright, we can go.

JediMaster12 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Lilah settled down and silently cursed her nature to suspect everyone. She continued to scan the secondary systems. After a minute or two she said, "My parents were murdered by Revan's forces and I found out a terrible secret. That is what made me turn from the Sith." Directing a question to Annika, "How long before we come ou of hyperspace?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbx_Inthusiast Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 He sighed and glanced around, typing in a few keys. "Space.. it's a hell of a lot bigger than any planet.." He murmured, looking out of the viewscreen at the black streaks through the blue tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arvik Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 "Stock up as in ammo, weopons, artillery, batteries, armor, headgear, radar systems, blasters, sabers, jetpacks, grenades, mines, detonators, explosives, charges, snipers, gear, helmets, bulletproof vests, and flamethrowers." Ave asked. "Because that's just the kind of things they have at the shop I'm talking about. Oh yeah. They also have food, drinks, and those kind of unimportant things in the bar in the back."

Xbx_Inthusiast Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 He sighed a little and glanced at Lilah, then Annika. "I don't know about you two girls.. but i'm going to lay down for a bit.." He said, unstrapping himself and heading in the back, to the solitary bed. He plopped down and covered himself up. Tell me when we get out of hyperspace.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Lilah rolled her eyes after Lionel left. She sat back in her seat and asked Annika, "Why did you help us?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountVerilucus Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 "Alright" I headed out to the various arms dealers Ave pointed out and bought some grenades. Everything else had plenty of ammunition. I boughta couple upgrades to my blasters, and a Mandalorian assualt rifle. My aim wasn't as good as Ave's, so i resorted to the "spray and pray" method. finally when i was done i went back to Ave "lets pop a couple dewbacks and bantha's out in the desert. what do you say?"

Xbx_Inthusiast Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 Several long sentences of blurred english came out of his mouth, followed by a few 'mews'. He rolled over, murming in his sleep, tieing the covers around him accidentally in a helix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 "Because I got curious," Annika answered Lilah. "I know your situation. Running from the Sith, I mean. I remember what it was like to be hunted by both Jedi and Sith and anyone else that didn't like what I was doing. I remember the desparate feeling, the countless wishes for at least one friend." She turned to fully face Lilah. "Compassion. It's something the Sith will not teach you, the Republic will not grant you, and though the Jedi value it, they see you as beyond saving and therefore unworthy of their compassion." She stretched. "I, on the other hand, have felt what it's like to have all shoulders turned your way and have not lost the Jedi teachings of compassion. So I give, for I know I can and I know it's helpful to know that at least one person cares enough to help." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 "That is comforting," Lilah replied, meaning every word. She recalled a few instances where she blatantly disobeyed her master and showed compassion to some settlers she was supposed to kill. She masterminded a beautiful deception that was never detected. She slipped into the co-pilot chair and spoke, "How long have been running?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Annika considered this. "I'd say it must be going on five years now," she answered thoughtfully. "Sometimes it seems like a lifetime; others, the blink of an eye..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvik Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 "I say.. A kill is a kill let's go!" Ave shouted nd clipped on some plasma grenades to his belt, tightened his helmet, and shot a practice shot through his newly waxed sniper rifle. And that practice shot got them through the gate to the desert for free. "I took out the guard." Ave said. "Perfect." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 "I see," and Lilah pulled a strange device out of her belt and began to examine it. It was a box actually. It had been left at her quarters before she escaped the Sith and she had been examining how to open it. Being in tuned to machines, she could not sense any tracking device but it was something familiar. She was examining it when she said, "Lionel has tied himself in a helix again."

Xbx_Inthusiast Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 He rolled over and off of the bed, landing in a loud thump on the ground. He had only been out for what seemed like a few hours while they were talking, and after. As he landed, he woke up, struggling. He was caught up in the covers. Rolling back and forth, he was tugging and pulling away at the covers, then finally gave up and plopped his head on the ground with a thump. "Meh.. a little help?"

JediMaster12 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Lilah rolled her eyes and had a bemused smile as she went to help Lionel. He was struggling without end trying to get untied. She placed her hand on his shoulder to have him stop struggling. With a deft pull of the end of the sheet, she unwound the sheet and rolled Lionel right off. She smiled as she said, "You should try to train yourself not to receive dreams as extreme as you do. Otherwise you would end up wrapped in a cocoon." She let out a chuckle as she walked back to the cockpit and sat with Annika. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
