"First we must protect this valueless work. Let's power them down, and vaccum it, and seal it completely. Then...Let's start our lengthy Journey." CSI said calmly, "And I bet Traya and Exile will come after us...for these Lightsabers."

 

He used the Force to suck out all air from the archive right before Aurora and Arion sealed the gate. And Aurora used her skill to set up state-of-art security systems.

 

Here we go, a destiny lies in front of us.

[Master_Archon]

A grey, lanky figure, entered the heart of Malachor, approaching the sitting figure of Darth Traya.

 

"My mistress...Traya," he called out to her in his reedy, and hollow voice. "I have come on request....how may I serve?"

 

The tall Yevathan, N'la, knelt down, hands on his legs as he waited for his master to acknowledge his existance, and answer his question.

[Diego Varen]

Traya opened her eyes and turned to look at N'la.

 

"General Sulam has failed in his task of finding Revan's killer," Traya told him, "You must find him and do not fail me."

 

Traya returned to meditate.

[Master_Archon]

"It shall be done my mistress...I shall start on Ryloth....I feel an inkling in the force in that region, and it's growing," N'la told his master, getting up off his knees, he turned and headed for the academy hangar.

 

Once inside the hangar, he jumped into the cockpit of his customized sith fighter, the 'purgatory'. He prepped the ship, and after awhille, the small silver spec of a ship could be seen leaving the surface of the crumbling planet.

******

The 'purgatory' exited hyperspace above the planet Ryloth, he still felt something drawing him through the force to this place. But the drawing was not of a presence, nor anything commonly felt in the force, just echoes.

 

The ship landed on the surface of the planet, in the middle of nowhere, literaly. N'la exited his vessel, looking around at the horizon, he looked for any signs. N'la saw nothing, yet felt something, so he started walking, no purpose, no destination, just walking.

[CSI]

CSI stood on the day side and saw a small fighter flew by. By the Force, he felt a relatively strong Force user is inside. "We got company, folks. Looks like we got to bail outta here." Then he said to Aurora, "Do you know where your ship, Jedi Phoenix, was docked in?"

[Aurora Starfire]

"Sure. We docked in...." she glanced at Arion, "Kala'uun Starport, Terminal Number 21, wasn't it?"

 

Arion nodded. "Yeah, that's the one."

[steven]

A scout-class Sith Cruiser exitted hyperspace in the space above Ryloth. A Scout Cruiser is quite similar to an normal Sith Inidictor however the gravity-well generator has been removed, the shield and weapons have been weakened and the engines and sensors have been made more powerful. It's current orders, set by Darth Ba'al, was to dispatch several drones (mindless warriors genetically created by Ba'al scitentists, they've only been programs to fight and kill. Inside their brains, there is an implant which relates info to the cruiser, where the cruiser can send orders like to fight, retreat or even die.)

[CSI]

"Big enough. Let's go." Then he casted Master Speed and ran to the Spaceport. Then CSI found Terminal 21, which there was a sign said "Reserved". CSI said nothing and used the Force to open the closed door. Inside, there was nothing.

 

CSI commented: "Maybe something just flied away, or is going to land here. We got to do it fast." Then he sat down and begin meditating. Slowly, a warp gate opened, and the outline of Jedi Phoenix was slowly revealed. At last, the whole ship docked in front of them.

 

Suddenly, the portmaster, a Toydarian apporoached to the trio and said: "Oh no! What should I do? A ship is coming here!"

 

CSI said calmly: "Diverge it to somewhere else, here, 20 credits. That should do it."

 

"Thank you, kind Jedi! I will diverge it to somewhere else." The portmaster answered happily.

 

****

 

The Jedi Phoenix's engine roared to life. In the cockpit, CSI punched into the coordinates manually without the aid of Navi Computer. Then he punched a button, then they flicked into Hyperdrive.

[Master_Archon]

N'la was on the outskirts of a town, when he froze midstep. He felt the presence that had been drawing him in a frantic state, he could assume. He also noticed the siluette of a ship soaring off over the town and into space, the presence shrinking as it shrunk from sight.

 

N'la lifted a small device, pressing a button on it, he watched with patient eyes as the vessel finally disapeared.

 

But N'la's concetration soon ended, as he felt a blip in the force that was also different, the blip of something, mindless.

[steven]

"Big enough. Let's go." Then he used Dimension Shift and teleported to the Spaceport. Then CSI found Terminal 21, which there was a sign said "Reserved". CSI said nothing and used the Force to open the closed door. Inside, there was nothing.

 

((okay, i might be barking up the complete wrong end of the stick but there's no way your character can teleport. It's impossible.))

[Jason Skywalker]

"Master," A voice came from Ba'al's commlink.

 

"I have established myself as the Mandalore. Thing is i killed almost half of them to do it. The rest have agreed to join your Empire," Edash told him.

[CSI]

((okay, i might be barking up the complete wrong end of the stick but there's no way your character can teleport. It's impossible.))

 

Post edited. Thank you for your remind.

[Master_Archon]

N'la stared down at the device he held, mumbling to himself underbreath.

 

A strange soldier-like being approached him, standing fairly close to him.

 

"I-den-ti-fy," it drawled out.

 

N'la, still looking at his device, lifted his hand up, palm forward in the mindless thing's face. With a barely perceivable twitch, his dew claw shot out of the mound in his wrist, stabbing into the thing's throut. With another barely visible motion he retracted the dew claw, lowering his hand, the drone falling to the ground, dead.

 

Moments later, N'la lept up, landing inside the cockpit of his sith fighter, which had been remotely brought to his position. He closed the hatch and took off, soaring into space, he closed his eyes, trying to follow the presence that had drawn him here. He had come here to see what it was, and he wasn't stopping until he found it, he didn't want his venture to this planet wasted.

 

He finally got a general idea of the direction it was going, with a couple of adjustments, he was facing the direction he felt the presence. He put in some coordinates, and soon he was slipping into hyperspace. He didn't know it's destination, and he didn't know how far it was going, but when it stopped somewhere, he could always re-adjust course.

[CSI]

"Here we go," CSI punched in another set of Coordinates, and the Hyperspace stopped humming. "Coruscant," CSI said, "Let's park on the landing pad."

 

CSI guided the Jedi Phoenix onto the landing pad. "So we just disguise ourselves in bounty hunters, and here comes my favorite part: Undercover Cruiser!" Then he went to his quarter. After a while, he came into the cockpit, with his bounty hunter armor on. [That bounty hunter armor looks like Clone Commando's armor]

[Aurora Starfire]

Aurora and Arion changed into dark-colored military-style jumpsuits, and met CSI back in the cockpit.

 

"Alright, we're ready. Shall we take a look around?" Arion remarked.

[steven]

"Master," A voice came from Ba'al's commlink.

 

"I have established myself as the Mandalore. Thing is i killed almost half of them to do it. The rest have agreed to join your Empire," Edash told him.

 

"Excellent, tell them they are to be rewarded with a Ravanger-clas Star Destroyer... if they are willing to do a task for me. They will need to raid the old Jedi Temple and then destroy it with one of my nuke.' Ba'al replied.

[Aurora Starfire]

"Let's go to the Jedi Temple," Aurora suggested. "There may be something left there that can help us."

 

They locked down the Pheonix and walked to the Temple. They went to the Jedi Archives, and Aurora attempted to open the doors.

 

A hologram flickered to life in front of them. "Access restricted to known Jedi Masters. Step forward and be recognized."

 

Aurora and Arion exchanged glances. "We wouldn't be on the list of known Jedi at all," Aurora murmured. "CSI, see if you're still logged in the databanks."

[CSI]

CSI took off his helmet, stepped forward, and spoke slowly and calmly: "This is CSI, Jedi Initiate Training Master, requesting access to Jedi Archives. And...to see my friends here."

 

Then the Hologram made a polite bow: "Welcome back, CSI. It's been ages."

 

"Huh. I'm just dropping by, and need to find something." Then CSI looked at Aurora and Arion, "Don't worry, they're my friends. They're Jedi Watchman and Jedi Weapon Master."

 

"Understood. Access granted. Welcome." Then the gate slowly opened.

[Aurora Starfire]

Aurora and Arion followed CSI into the Jedi Archives. Row upon row of shelves filled with holojournals, datapads, and other archived information by the thousands.

 

"Even now, the Archives are full, and ancient," Arion muttered to Aurora.

 

She nodded silently, looking around carefully. Then she led the way towards the Analysis rooms. "I want to see what the analyst droids have to say about those lightsaber crystals you found, CSI."

[CSI]

In the Analysis Room, CSI asked the Droid: "Droid, please run an analysis on two crystals, 'Heart of the Guardian' and 'Mantle of the Force'."

 

After a small hum, the droid came back to life: "[Query] Checking usernames...passed...Password...passed...Processing request...No results."

 

"Wait, something is definitely wrong--there is no such thing of Heart of the Guardian or Mantle of the Force? Strange...they're in my Archives."

 

Then he stood up and turned to Aurora and Arion: "I'll tell you my past, later. But now I have to find my padawan, since I'm a Jedi Initiate Training Master. Hope she doesn't mess everything up. For books, you can check them, since you already them in my archive."

 

Then CSI walked out of the Archive.

[Aurora Starfire]

Aurora glanced at Arion, who shrugged. "Not in the Archives?" she mused. "Strange..."

 

"And familiar," Arion added. "We'll wait here until you get back, CSI. Be careful."

 

After CSI left, they began sifting through the records for information pertaining to the crystals, Revan, and also the Exiled Jedi, Sera Tana.

[Jason Skywalker]

"Mandalorians!" Edash started, "My people! My blood. My kin. My brothers. Darth Ba'al, an "affiliate", is offering us, the Mandalorians a Ravager-class Star Destroyer IF you raid the old Jedi Temple on Coruscant and then DESTROY it with one of his nukes! Now i ask you, Mandalorians...

 

Are you with me?" He told the 500 Mandalorians.

 

"Yes!" The answered.

 

"I SAID, ARE YOU WITH ME!?"

 

"YES!"

[CSI]

[Off-topics] Wow, Aurora. What a reply.

 

CSI walked out of the Archive, and walked to the Jedi Training Ground. Near the gate, he heard lightsabers clash, and jumping yells. CSI smiled: his Twi-Lek Padawan, Toent Bekunn, was training Jedi Initiates. He released the Force powers and send a whisper: ::Toent Bekunn, I'm here. Are you ready?::

 

Toent Bekunn was just teaching one of her initiates with her still-novice Shii-Cho style. ::Master? It's been long time no see. Where are you?:: She said in astonishment. When she got distracted, the Initiate's lightsaber slashed down and she dodged it...barely.

 

::Heheheh. That's close. So let me show them, okay?:: CSI smiled.

 

Toent didn't reply. The light was dimmed.

 

CSI walked to the younglin who nearly injured Toent and touched his head, "Can I borrow your lightsaber? I promise I'll return it to you. Good job, by the way." The Younglin looked at CSI in surprise. "Here it is, Master CSI." Then he handed out his training lightsaber out.

 

"Thank you," CSI bowed politely and walked to Toent. Suddenly, Toent charged to CSI in incredible speed. "Wow! Nice, I can see you improved when I was away." CSI smiled and posed his Shii-Cho Stance. "Younglins, see how I perform Shii-Cho. The basic style, we all need to master it." And then he blocked Toent's heavy blow and continued, "You need to master it in order to master the most elegant form--Makashi. Here, let me show you Shii-Cho, Makashi, Soresu, Ataru, Niman / Jarkai, Shien and Juyo. Pay attention!"

 

Suddenly he felt something was wrong. His padawan seemed to fueled with rage. After dodging another upper slash, he jumped away and shouted: "What are you doing? Calm down, Padawan! Don't give in your anger! That leads you to the Dark Side!"

 

Toent said nothing, but clearly the rage is fueling her lightsaber skills, because he can see the blow is heavier and heavier. CSI suddenly realized that language is useless and he must save her before she slipped too far away.

 

And the fight went on...

 

After guarding Toent's wave-like attacks, he countered with a heavy slash. She began to block the attack. "A word of warning: Don't block it. Jump away!" She didn't listen and attempted to block it. The two blades slashed together with a loud noise. Then the release of power shocked her lightsaber off her hand.

 

Falling on the ground, Toent began to cry: "Why did you leave me? Why don't you bring me with you?"

 

CSI said nothing, but he held his padawan in front of his breast, "Don't cry, I'm here, I'm here..."

 

Then he shrugged to the stunning Younglins: "That's my padawan's usual greeting."

[Aurora Starfire]

Arion had a series of recent Holonet reports spread out on one of the desks. "Looks like the Exile has been rather busy lately," he commented as he perused the material.

 

"Not much luck on Revan thus far," Aurora told him. "He apparently left known space for the Unknown Regions several years ago, and hasn't been seen or heard from since, as far as I can make out. That is, until he was apparently reported dead recently, under unknown circumstances."

 

Suddenly, Aurora looked up from the holojournal she was reading. Resentment, anger, rage....

 

Something was not right within the Jedi Temple.

[CSI]

CSI helped his padawan to get up, cleaned her teary eyes, and said to her: "Don't worry, this time you'll come with us." Then he raised his head for a while, suddenly his eyes widened, "Oh, no...I sence a plot to...destroy all Jedi...Toent, follow me out to the Jedi Archive. And younglings, please follow me. This place is becoming dangerous!" Then CSI casted Master Speed and ran to the Jedi Archive.

 

Toent nodded and told her younglings: "My master CSI is a wise man, and that means you should listen to him. Let's go to the Jedi Archive!"

 

Then this formed a funny picture: 1 Human Jedi Master leads a Twi'Lek Jedi Knight, and a group of Jedi Younglings followed them.
