CSI Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 In the Bacta tank, CSI opened his eyes and saw Vergil outside the tank, sleeping. Quietly, CSI deactivated the switch and opened the lid of the tank. After he climbed out, he teleported to his quarter and changed to a new robe. Then he came back to the Med-Bay and lifted sleeping Vergil up and put her in CSI's bed and tucked her well. After a few minutes, CSI stood on the stone pole again, gazing into the moon.

Leia Starfire Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 The White Crystal landed on Algara II. The shadowy Figure chuckled, "Well, looks like I'm early." She walked down the ramp on to the crowded street. Behind her, she saw another black cloaked figure following her. She slowed down a bit so the Figure could catch up. "What brings you here?" she asked. "I could ask you the same thing," the man replied. "It's been a long time," she said. "Yes, Lord Sidious sent us on that mission, it seems so long ago, but it wasn't really." "I know the feeling. It does seem strange. But back to business, they will be here in a little more then a week," she replied. "Well you gave us plenty of time, didn't you?" smiled the man. "Now we can remember Sidious," she laughed. "Lets try this cafe, it has good wine," the man suggested. "Sounds good," she replied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 CSI jumped off the pole, and entered his quarter. After he put his katana on his desk, he wrote a quick note: My friends, my Juma Juice storage was nearly depleted. I have to go to Algara II to get some drink. You can go anywhere you want, and don't worry about me. Signed, CSI. Then CSI walked outside, and flow-walked to Algara II. ---- After a while, CSI submerged into the crowd and entered a cantina.

Leia Starfire Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 The Black Figures sat down at a table in the back and ordered some wine. "What happened to you after The Mission?" asked the man when their wine came. "Well, I left, and wandered from place to place, never staying anywhere long. Till it came time to finish it," she replied. "Yeah, that's what happened to me to. After The Mission, how could we do anything else?" said the man sadly. "Do you ever wonder how it might have been? If we had all survived?" she asked. "Sometimes. I've spent all my time trying to forget it though. Sometimes I think I never will, other times I think I can live. Who knows?" wondered the man. "Do you think calling them here was the right thing?" she asked. "It has to end. We can't go on living like this. It has to end; it has to. As it started, so must it end." "I hope you're right. We have a week to plan it, so let's get started." "Always have your mind on the here and now, don't you?" "I guess I haven't changed much, have I?" "You'd be surprised." They walked out of the cafe and back to The White Crystal."Same ship," he said. "Like I said, I haven't changed much," she replied. "So, what did you have in mind?" he asked.

Darth Randus Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Aksul took a few more steps closer to Arion, and turned him around. Forcefully, he said "You have not rest *enough*, if at the very least, go and lie down. You may be my master, but I am a bit older than you are, and know how to make sure how one gets their rest... forceibly if need be. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ben looked at Aurora and smiled. "You might have mentioned it right after you promoted me." He paused, "Shall we go to the cockpit, my love. I can't wait to see what you have in mind for a supp-" he let the setence run off, he was feeling a.... disturbance in the force. "Aurora, I just sensed a disturbance in the force, did you feel it?" he asked her quietly as he took her hand and began walking to the cockpit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Ira' was wondering around and eventually ran into her husband. "Arion, whats going on?" she asked quietly as she affectionately took her husband's hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Starfire Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Arion frowned. "Oh, your husband is trying to treat me as if I'm a youngling." He turned to Aksul. "I'm *fine*. And you are NOT going to sedate me, either. I'd prefer to at least be able to wake up, if necessary." * * * Aurora gave his hand a little squeeze. "I feel it," she murmured. When they reached the cockpit, she sat down and fired up the controls. She entered Alderaan's coordinates, and opened the warp gate. "Next stop, Alderaan."

Darth Randus Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Ben took a seat in the copilot's seat and watched as Aurora opened the warp gate. "Why do I get the distinct feeling that this... disurbance will affect both of us?" he mused. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Ira' chuckled at Arion, "Well.... you *are* a youngling, you really should do as your told, child. Now, run along and get some rest." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Starfire Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Aurora nodded. "I was getting the same impression." She guided the Pheonix through the gate. * * * Arion scowled, but kept his voice calm. "I am *not* a youngling. But *I* know what you're after. Don't worry, though, I'll 'run along' so you two oldsters can have some time together." He turned to go, and called over his shoulder, "You might want to strap in. We're taking off." * * * They dropped out of the warp gate a few minutes later. Aurora brought the Pheonix down, and docked in one of Alderaan's spaceports.

Darth Randus Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Once they had landed, Ben got up and offered a hand to Aurora, "Where to next?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Starfire Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Aurora took his hand. "I don't know. Let's go for a walk, and look for someplace nice." She chuckled. "I wonder what's up with Arion.... I can feel him fuming from here." * * * Arion was sitting on his bed, fiddling with his lightsaber components, and trying not to break anything. I don't know why I stick around here to put up with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Randus Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Ben led Aurora outside the ship and decided to let Aurora be the guide. In his past, he spent so much of his time either stalking the rest of the republic, or hunting jedi that he never really made it to Alderaan. "You lead the way, my dear." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Ira' got a idea that would help Aksul keep a eye on Arion. "Hun, watch him for a few minutes, I got a idea." Once she said this, she went back for the cargo hold and reactivated HK-47, and while she was at it, made a few adjustments to him so that he could not be deactivated unless he willingly wanted to be deactivated.

Aurora Starfire Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Aurora chuckled. "To tell the truth, I've only been here once, myself, when I was a padawan." They walked through the streets together, looking at the shops and restaurants. One caught her eye as they passed. "That one looks nice," she remarked. * * * Arion eyed Aksul, who had apparently followed him into his room. "So now you're ganging up on me, and you're going to turn a crazy assassin droid into a babysitter. You don't treat Aurora this way, why are you doing this to me?" "Retort: A babysitter, meatbag? I resent that. And my logic circuits work perfectly." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 CSI walked into the cantina and said to bartender: "10 cases of Juma Juices. 100 Credits." He threw the credits to the bartender while the bartender shouted something to the workers in the back, and asked CSI: "Where may I deliver them?" CSI replied: "Don't worry about it. I'll take care of them. Thank you." After packing the Juma Juices, CSI walked out of the cantina and saw two shadowy figure walked out from another cantina. Must be some people with special interest, CSI shrugged and went away. He needed to go to somewhere safe to cast Flow-Walking. ---- Aldeeran. Aboard the Jedi Phoenix, Vergil woke up. She looked around and suddenly realized that she was sleeping in CSI's quarter. Then she rushed to the desk and found CSI's Katana and a note from CSI. "Brother...When would you be back?" Vergil whispered, "We still got some business to finish..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Randus Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Ben looked at the resturant that Aurora had mentioned and agreed, it did indeed look nice. "Do you want to go inside or sit outside, dear? I'm debating weather or not I should let my father have his fun with Arion or to tell him where we are so they can meet up." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Well, what can I say... Its fun. You look a bit more rested but I still think you havn't gotten enough yet, go and get some more rest and we will return shortly, or would you like to join us when Ben and Aurora call for us to join them for dinner?"

Aurora Starfire Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Aurora chuckled. "I'd say he's had enough fun for now, judging by the shortness of Arion's temper." * * * Arion scowled, but, with effort, kept his temper. Of all the padawans I could have ended up with, I get the one who's a practical joker. "I would prefer to go with you, that is, if I wouldn't be in the way."

Leia Starfire Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 "Now that that's done, all we have to do is wait for them to show up," said the man. "That's right. So, you wanna play Pazaak?" she replied. "I always win, you sure?" "Hey, you have any better ideas?" "OK then, I deal." "I'll get the juma."

Darth Randus Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Ben's smile grew when he heard Aurora talk about her brother, "Ok, I'll call out to them, but I wanna have some fun with your brother.... if you get what I mean.... You in?" He chuckled, and then but his arm across her back as they walked into the restruant. He reached out with the force and called his parents, ::Mother, father, we're ready to eat, I trust you can find us using the force?:: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aksul and 'Ira' heard their son through the force and sent a reply ::Very well, we're on our way.:: Aloud, Aksul said to Arion, "Come on master, lets get going. And I wanted to say if you find some of my jokes offensive, let me know, I am only trying to lighten the mood, but I sense you don't like them."

Aurora Starfire Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 She smiled at him. "I'm in, just don't push him too far. He gets... ah... bad-tempered, when he's tired." * * * Arion sighed. "No, it's not your fault. I'm probably tireder than it feels like. I appreciate that you're trying to help. Aurora and I joke a fair bit, so don't worry about that. You're probably right, after I get a full night's rest, I'll be back to normal. But let's go, I bet we're holding up the party." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Randus Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Ben looked at her and led her over to a table in the corner of the restruant. He sat at the part of the table that would have put him in a dark corner and pulled up his hood , like he used to do when he was a Sith, the only thing visable was his eyes and folded his arms across his chest. "Hows this, my love, I think it will not only get a kick out of my parents, but your brother as well." He chuckled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Starfire Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Aurora kissed his cheek, affectionately. "Depends on how observant they are, beloved." She sat down next to him, and gazed into his blue eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Randus Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Ben reached out to her through his long black cloak, the sleeves were long enough to cover his hands. "I've told you a lot about my past, what about yours?" he asked her, his blue eyes locking with hers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Starfire Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 "Mine? Oh, not very interesting, I'm afraid, but if you really want to hear it...." Aurora's eyes unfocused, slightly, as she thought back. "About my origins, I don't know much. Like most Jedi candidates, Arion and I were taken when we were very young. We were born on Tatooine, but that's about all I know. I have no memory of our parents...." she said, a little wistfully. "We studied with the other younglings, and progressed rather faster than most. By the time we were seven, I think, Arion and I were each chosen by a Master. Mine....." her voice broke, "mine was killed near the start of the Clone Wars." She stared down at her lap for a long time, lost in thought. "I was given the rank of Jedi Knight soon after that, and so was Arion. We did a lot of scouting missions together, on account of our bond, though occasionally we led troops during the war. We... we were on a scouting mission in the Outer Rim when Order 66 was given." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Randus Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 At the memory or Order 66, Ben began to remember where he was when the order was given by his former master, so long ago. "I- I'm sorry for your loss, you must have lost a great number of friends." He said looking sad, "I'm- I'm not sure how to say this... but I was with Sidious when he gave the order." He gently pulled his arm back from Aurora, leaned back into the shadows of the corner he was sitting in, and began to remember what had happened, his feelings in a state of controlled chaos at the memory. He could feel his parents and Arion very close to the restruant and reached out to Aurora with the force, ::They are about to get here, lets see if this works.:: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aksul, Ira, and Arion had just arrived at the restruant and saw Arurora sitting at a table in the back. Aksul and Ira sat down at the table and began to look worried when they could not see their son. "Aurora, wheres Ben?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Starfire Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Aurora was looking away, and didn't answer. Arion could feel his sister's troubled state, and immediately jumped to the wrong conclusion. "What happened?" he asked, concerned. Aurora merely nodded towards the darkened corner. Arion felt her emotions change, subtly, but couldn't place it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 CSI, who was now back to the ship, put his Juma Juice into Cargo Hold, and walked to his quarter. When he opened the door, he found Vergil sitting near the table. "Where are they?" CSI looked around. "They went to a restaurant." Vergil replied grimmly. "Then why don't you go with them?" CSI narrowed his eyes. "I don't want to intervene their happy reunion," Vergil sighed, "And I'm afraid that I might lose my temper." "Temper?" CSI burst out a laughter, "Since when you had a temper?" Vergil stared at CSI. "Anyway, I'm going to Coruscant. If you still want to do the Swoop race with me, let's go." CSI exhaled deeply. "How about them? I don't think they would approve this," Vergil asked. "They don't need to know. Shall we?" Then CSI and Vergil walked out of the ship, and began their flow-walking preparations.
