Darth Randus Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Ben felt Aurora's arm wrap around him carefully, and he reached back to wrap his around her but gasped in pain when the movement caused his wound to cause him twice as much pain as it did a moment before. He turned his head to look his mother dead in the eyes, his bright blue eyes becomming unfocused as he was about to pass out again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ben's mother stood there and when her son looked into her eyes, she saw the little boy that he had been so long ago. She crouched down and took a good look at him. She turned to Aurora and said with a hard expression on her face, "You bet my family has been suffering all of this time because of those arrogant shuttas. We are not finished discussing this, I assure you." Her expression softened, "However, if my son chose you for a relationship, then.... perhaps you are different than the earlier Jedi. Come, he dosn't look well. We should get him back to your ship so he can get some medical help." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The last thing that Ben saw before he finally passed out was his mother crouching right beside him, looking at him, and then everything went black. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aksul continued to sit there... troubled by something, though he could not figure out what. "Even if your wife just happens to be the Dark Lord of the Sith, or so she believes?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Starfire Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Aurora gently lifted Ben up with the Force, and they took him back to the Pheonix. She laid him down in one of the beds in medbay, and looked at him closely, concern in her eyes. She turned to his mother, and said, "My brother has medical training. It would probably be best if we take Ben back and get his help. He knows much more about treating injuries than I do." * * * Arion nodded. "Even then. Your son was a Dark Lord of the Sith, himself, and was able to overcome that. Love can change everything.... love can ignite the stars.... at least, the old poets say so."

Darth Randus Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Ben's mother turned to Aurora and said "Well, we need to get him back then. I'll stay here until you get back to make sure he stays ok. Expediency is of the most importance." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aksul finally turned to look Arion in the eyes, searching for some sort of hope, but was unable to find what he was looking for. "I guess... I just feel uneasy about my son right now." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Starfire Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Aurora nodded. She stood, and entered a command into a panel on the wall. "I'll be on comm, if you need me." She hurried to the cockpit, and entered the coordinates for Krayiss II. She opened the warp gate, and flew through it. * * * Within minutes, they dropped into the system, and she guided the Pheonix down. ::Arion!:: she contacted her brother through the Force. ::I need your help. Ben's injured.:: ::What? I'm on my way:: Arion leapt to his feet. "They're back," he told Aksul tersely. "Ben's been hurt. No, I don't know how badly. Come on!" He headed towards the ship.

Darth Randus Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 When Arion told Aksul about his son's injury, he already thought he had a good idea on who did it. "Im comming, Im comming! Lead the way Arion." -----------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As Ben's mother had just gotten comfterable sitting in a chair for what she thought would be a long journey, the suddenly landed. "Aurora! What in space is going on?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Starfire Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Aurora met them at the medbay. "We arrived. I'll explain about the hyperdrive later." Arion ran a quick scan over Ben's vitals. "He's stable. It's the pain that knocked him out, I think." He sat down next to the bed, and meditated. He gently brought the broken ribs back into alignment, and felt the Force flow through the fracture lines. He couldn't see any more serious damage, just some bruising. He left that alone for the time being, and pulled out of the meditation. He shook his head, trying to clear it, and said, "The broken ribs are fixed. There's still a little bruising, but nothing serious." He leaned back in his chair, tired. "Thank you, Arion," Aurora said softly. "Go rest now. You've earned it."

Darth Randus Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Aksul followed Arion into the medbay and stormed up to his wife."WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HIM?!" He raged. "HES OUR SON OF ALL PEOPLE!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ben's mother stood in the corner and just smirked, "Welcome back, dear. Nice to see you to." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Starfire Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Arion held up a hand, tiredly. "Hey, calm down, please, Aksul. Losing your temper isn't going to help, and Ben needs to sleep." He sighed. "I'll stick around, Aurora, if you don't mind." Aurora nodded. "If you insist." She eyed Ben's parents. "I don't want to have to kick you two out, but if you can't sit down and talk quietly, then I'm going to have to ask you to leave." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Randus Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Both of Ben's parents completely ignored both Arion and Aurora, and kept getting louder and louder while they were argueing. Even though still uncouncious, Ben was slowly moving one of his arms in the direction of his parents, and a powerful burst of lightning quickly shot from his hand to his parents. Both his mother and father cried out in pain as the electricty coursed through them, and then as suddenly as the current appeared, it vanished. Both turned to glare at Arion and Aurora. "What the heck was that for?!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Starfire Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Arion blinked. "It wasn't me!" he said. "The Force isn't my forte, as a general rule, and I certainly couldn't do something like that now." Aurora frowned. "It...it was Ben," she said, uncertainly, and more than a little troubled.

Darth Randus Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 In unison both of Ben's parents said "Ben? What do you mean it was Ben?" Exchanging looks like this Jedi had too much Juma Juce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Starfire Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Aurora shook her head. "I--I don't know!" she said. "He hasn't regained consciousness, but it was definitely him." She waved a hand at the monitors. "See for yourselves." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Randus Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Both Aksul and his wife looked at the mirrors and saw that their son's arm was pointing right at them. "Wait, wait your telling me that my son just shot force lighting at us while he was completely uncouncious? He shot lightning in his sleep?" Aksul said. His wife just smirked, "Thats my son... I can see that he has learned his lessons from his master well." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Starfire Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Arion frowned. "It's possible that he was reacting subconsciously to your emotions, since he shares a close bond with you." Aurora ran her fingers through Ben's hair. She was worried about him, even though Arion said he was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Randus Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Aksul turned to look at Arion, "Emotions, what emotions? The fact he was attacked by his own mother or the arguement that started because of that?" Ben's mother chuclked when Aksul finished asking Arion, "Aksul, dear, you are too overprotective. He should be allowed to explore his power as he chooses, not to what you limit him to feel. I'd be more than happy to show him." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Starfire Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Arion got to his feet, tiredly. "Look, I know it's difficult for you, but can you just calm down and talk it out like civilized people, or go outside. I don't know what, exactly, caused this, but I suspect it was your anger. Now, he's got to have some undisturbed rest, until he wakes up on his own, so if you can't quiet down your voices and your emotions, you're going to have to go outside." Aurora raised an eyebrow. "I would hardly call that 'exploring his power as he chooses'. He wasn't awake, he wasn't even conscious." She studied the older woman. "By the way... what is your name?"

CSI Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Vergil stood at top of a stone pole, and looked at the crew above her coldly. ::Such fools...:: She whispered. Then she eyed CSI, who was lying on the ground. Then she gazed back into the sky. "Fools? I failed to see they acted foolish." A voice said behind her back. She nearly fell off the stone pole, and when she turned her head, she saw CSI's back, "What are you doing here? I thought you were..." She looked at CSI's original sleeping spot, and found that sleeping man was gone. CSI stayed quiet. "Now you have captured me, what do you want to do to me?" Vergil asked CSI in hatred. "I know there is no point dueling each other by lightsaber duels, so what do you want to defeat me the most?" CSI said lightly. Vergil stayed quiet for a while, then she slowly spoke: "A Swoop Race." CSI smirked: "You still remember those races? You're always couple seconds after me. But fine...Let's duel through...swoop bikes." Then he threw Vergil her katana back: "Because you're no longer held captive, Vergil, I return your katana." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Randus Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Ben's mother stood there, stairing coldly at Aurora. "My name is... Darth Ira" she said darkly, "and my son will take his rightful place at *my* side. He has already learned much. The very fact that he can use the force to attack those who disturb him while he uncouncious already shows this. Just wait what to see what he will be able to do after a bit more training..... Curious, who will he choose, you and the Jedi, or his own mother and the Sith?" she mused. She called out through the force to try to awaken her son, but had no luck. He was out cold, or he was not listening to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Starfire Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Aurora returned her stare. "Perhaps he has already chosen. Perhaps there need not be a choice. You were a Jedi, once, a great one, or so I've heard. You could be so again." She smiled to herself. "You're right, though. With a bit more training, he will be a great Jedi." She touched Ben with the Force, gently. ::Are you ready to wake up, my love? There are many here who have questions.:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth InSidious Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 N'Dul's brow furrowed in concentration, and with no small amount of effort, he reached towards Vergil's swoop bike. With a slight tweak of the Force - no mean feat at this distance - a pipe burst, and coolant dribbled silently away. He stood up, and walking towards the now-complete behemoth, commanded it: "Find the one known as Arion, and bring him to me." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Randus Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Ira's expression became deadly, fueled by anger. "Unless you want to be in pain beyond imagine, don't even suggest that I turn to the Jedi. They betrayed me once... just for having a family." She took a few steps closer to Aurora, "How do I know *you* won't betray me or my son.... Jedi?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When Ben felt Aurora's call he began to stir in his sleep. Then he felt his mother in the room, stalking his love and master. In annoyance and anger he suddenly sat up and glared at his mother. "Don't even think about it... *mother*. If you harm her in *any* way... I'll kill you. You have already harmed me and I will not allow that to happen to Aurora, am I clear?" He yelled at her and continued to glare at her. Through the force he asked Aurora ::I can see that, how long have I been out, and what have I missed. I feel like I've been trampled by bantha.:: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ira turned to look at her son. Yes, his dark side was still in there... his strong side. Perhaps he could be goaded into returning to the Sith, she thought. "Good to see your up, my *son*. I see you still *know* how to use your anger, thats good, it makes you stronger, gives you focus." She chuckled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Starfire Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Aurora's eyes flashed. "Because I never betray anyone.... and I love your son so much that I won't *let* you trick him into falling again. So don't even think about it." Through the Force, she said to Ben, ::You're lucky you feel that good. Arion was able to mend your broken ribs, but you're probably going to be sore for a while. You've been out a couple of hours.:: Arion was listening intently to the debate, when he sensed something. He wasn't sure, exactly, what it was, but it was after him. He sighed. It had to happen now, of all times. I'm tired as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Randus Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 ::Anything happen while I was out? And why is the wall black with carbon scoring where my mother is standing?:: He said through the force in a calm voice, but his expression said a completely different story. His expression was how it was when he was interrogating his father, but this time he had more control over himself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When Aksul saw his son's expression after waking up suddenly, he trembled inside, remembering what happened to him the last time he saw it, and took a few involentary steps back. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ira was watching her son and saw her husband take a few steps back and turned to look at him. "What, Aksul. Your own *son* frightens you?" She chuckled. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Starfire Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Aurora saw Ben's expression, and took hold of his hand. ::You-you shot lightning at them while you were asleep,:: she told him, and there was worry in her eyes. :: Don't do this again. I know that look. Don't scare me like that again.:: * * * Arion slipped out of the room, without attracting attention. He walked outside to where CSI and Vergil were standing, and said, "Er, sorry to inturrupt, but can I have my lightsaber back? I need it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Randus Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Ben took Aurora's hand back and relaxed his expression. ::What would I do with out you dear? Don't worry, I am in control, not my emotions. I was merely trying to intimidate her. I would never want to scare you again, I love you to much to do that.:: He said through the force, then aloud said, "Everyone except for Aurora, and Darth Ira, please clear the room. We need to talk about something. Father, why don't you go check up on Arion, I sense he is troubled by something." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aksul looked at his son when he calmed down and said "You really have changed since we first met again. If you are going to try what I think you are, good luck, I hope you are successful. I would like to sepend some time with you both later. As for Arion, I sense it too, I will go an check on him" he turned and left to go find Arion. Through the force he called to his master ::Arion, were are you? I sense something comming for you, and also my son and Aurora wanted to be alone with my wife. Who what will happen next.:: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Darth Ira stood there smirking at her son. She thought that her own son would finally join her, but that would have been too easy. She folded her arms across her chest and began to stare at her son. Once they were alone she said "What are you two up to? Actually gained some sense to rejoin the Sith.... Lord Carus?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
