Shattered Night

[Jedi Apprentice]

Teran squirmed.

 

It had been a long day full of classes. Opening the day with dueling and finishing with meditating right alongside the master, Luke Skywalker, had wiped him out. As he sat there preparing to go to bed, he know something was off. Not quite right....

 

But after an exhausting day like his own, he knew nothing could happen. Nothing could possibly go wrong in a temple full of Jedi Masters, Knights and Padawans. Rolling over in his bed, seeing his fellow roommate padawan sound asleep gave him more assurance. Enough assurance to put his worries behind him for the night.

[Darth Blonde]

unless you just plan to tell a story then I would recomend you create some basis to join.

[Joetheeskimo]

In the room next to him, Namin Katarn, a teenager training in the Academy for 9 years, suddenly sits up straight. He senses something outside...movement? No, it could'nt be movement, it was just a presence. A Dark presence.

Namin slides out of bed and emerges out of his chambers into the long corridor. He senses the peace and sleep among the other students in the nearby rooms. He seems to be ther only one noticing something. Namin hurries down the hall in search of another awake student or trainer. He hears the rustling of the other student in the room beside his room, and peeks inside to see Teran still getting into bed.

[Jedi Apprentice]

"What are you doing up, Namin?" Seeing that someone else felt the dark presence Teran bolted out of bed and into his gear as quickly as possible.

 

Using the global comm unit he messaged Master Skywalker to alert him to the presence the two were sensing. Running into the main training hall he saw the beastly creature that he had been sensing. The beast quickly dispersed into the shadows and was no where to be seen.

 

Teran was highly distraught. "How many beasts do you see wearing Jedi tunics?" Running into the southeast corridor Taren met up with Luke who had just found out what the beast truly was.

 

 

 

@Darth Blonde--Role Playing revolves around a story. I set up the setting and the main features then other people come in and we role-play about what is happening.

[Mandalorian54]

(I like it, it's different from the same old crap. No bio, just story. Niceness.)

 

 

Delta Kasolar suddenly fell out of bed. He landed hard on his arm and was jolted with shock. Rising to his knees Delta gasped in air. He breathed heavily and attempted to recover from the shock. When he finally cooled off he slumped back into his bed. For a while he stared at the celing and then at the empty cot on the other side of the small chamber.

 

Being one of the only students without a roomate could be depressing at times. But Delta's roomate had been expelled a month ago and now he was roomateless. Although he had heard from his friend and that his friend was doing fine completing his training under a private jedi master, Delta had not seen his friend since the expulsion.

 

Thinking about the past events relaxed Delta and he almost fell back asleep when he heard a comosion outside.

 

Leaving his bed he opened his door and the three people outside looked at him. Delta rubbed his eyes saying, "What's going on? It's two in the morning. Some people are trying to sleep so they can endure thier masters tourture the folowing morning." There was no emidiate answere and Delta added, "You guys want some ice cream?"

[Joetheeskimo]

Namin answered, "This is no time for treats. Teran and I have discovered a beast in the Academy. I'm guessing it's a rancor, but I can't tell."

 

Then they hear soft footsteps, and Luke emerges from teh shadows, panting.

[Mandalorian54]

but luke was with you in the hall.

 

by me

 

Leaving his bed he opened his door and the three people outside looked at him.

 

better make that two, I thought Namin had gone down the hall with you.

[Joetheeskimo]

I did go down the hall with them.

[Jedi Apprentice]

"I'm going after it", declared Teran. Grabbing the hilt of his single, blue saber Teran ran back through the winding corridors and into the outer area of the academy with the two other padawans hot on his trail. Master Luke had decided to take the upper root to hopefully trap the beast.

 

Teran thought in the back of his mind: "That can't be a rancor, it's no taller than 7 feet."

 

Upon reaching the outside of the Academy, Teran and the other padawans saw something.....something they did not ever want to see.

 

The Yuhzan Vong had decided it was time to play again.

[Joetheeskimo]

Namin's saber glowed. "Uh...I think we'll need Master Luke for this one..." He said, his eyes wide.

[Mandalorian54]

(oh...but um....never mind. *looks at ground sheepishly*)

 

 

Delta followed after Luke to where the two boys stood. At the site of the Yuhzan Vong Delta dropped his icecream bar on the ground.

 

The ice cream plumped on the metalic floor and the Yuhzan Vong turned around. Delta's face turned red when the other three looked at him, "Oops."

[Joetheeskimo]

Namin dove into action. "Someone go get Master Luke or another trainer! We need help!" Then, he turned towards the beastly Yuhzaan Vong and held up his blade. "Teran, you with me?"

[jokemaster]

Colin Burke was woken up by Teran's running, he quickly ran after him and stopped immediatly at seeing the Yuhzan Vong.

Burke *whispering*: Did I leave my holo proj on again?"

[Jedi Apprentice]

"No other place I'd rather be, Namin", said the young Apprentice as he ignited his blade and tried to became focused for what was to come. With a great smile on his face Teran shrugged off Colin's attempt at making the mood a little less bleary.

 

"Master Skywalker, where are you?" asked Teran. "......I-tr-......" Came the response from Luke's comm unit. Following the pattern of events that had taken place during the night, Teran prepared himself for the worst and plunged full throttle into the small clan of Yuzhans.

[jokemaster]

*Burke quickly threw another of his holo-projs at the temple, one of a huge explosion. Then he ignited his lightsaber and ran at the Yuuzahn Vong, hoping the explosion would bring backup.*

Alyssa Renolin also woke up to the noise going on outside, wondering if her clone was attacking again. She jumped up in a smooth movment, retrieving her two lightsabers as she moved.

"Not again" she muttered at the sight of the Vong. "Do they ever stop?"

 

She backflipped away from the Vong as it attacked in her general direction, ignighting both lightsabers at once, one green, one orange, and drops into a defensive stance.

[Mandalorian54]

(but I followed Luke there, He's already with us.and it's spelt Yuuzhan Vong, I just looked it up.)

 

Delta started backwards, "I'll um....go get help." He turned to run when another Yuuzhan Vong warrior came from behind the group. "Mabee, I'll just stay then."

[Joetheeskimo]

Sure enough, several trainers and students round the corner, and when they spot the Yuuzhan Vong, they also ignite their sabers and dive forward into the battle.

[Jedi Apprentice]

(Luke was on an entirely different route which would be inside, but we're outside. Just keep going like he's not with us. )

 

As the other students kept pouring into the battleground, Teran kept slashing away. Picking up the green saber of an already fallen padawan he kept attacking as furiously as he could, but the Yuuzhan kept pouring in.

 

Seeing that the group of Yuuzhan was getting bigger, Teran grabbed Delta and Namin with him to go search for Master Skywalker.

[Mandalorian54]

(I was a little lost for a moment there, mabee I should stop talking *hangs head low* )

 

Delta was yanked away just as a Yuuzhan Vong spear slashed out, barely missing his neck. Gathering himself he followed Teran and Namin inside and closed his standard blue saber down. "Thanks, I owe you one."

[Jedi Apprentice]

(You quit talking and there will be a price to pay )

 

Running through the halls with Namin and Delta, saber still in hand, the group ran into the council room. Upon entering the room, the group saw Master Skywalker and what appeared to be Kyle Katarn fending off a much larger horde of Vong.

 

Running into the fray, the three Apprentices made an excellent team, slashing and force pushing along with the masters which took care of the group rather quickly.

 

After dispatching that group of Vong, the 5 Jedis ran into the training room to clean up the rest of the attackers. After all the Vong had either ran away or were killed, all the wounded were inspected.

 

Luke then did something that had not happened in a long time. Seeing the Council Member pull out his emergency global comm unit meant only one thing-- A plan.

 

"They have brought the fight to us. Now we shall finish the fight with them!" Skywalker exclaimed. "They shall pay a steep price for there actions!" Said an outraged Skywalker. A side of him that the students had not ever been seen before. Katarn also had a different fire in his eyes. A kind that everyone had only heard about in stories.

 

The loading of the transports began and all of the academy were off to face the Yuuzhan Vong on their territory.

[Darth Blonde]

As the Jedi's ability to sense evil is clouded by the chaos nobody senses the small ship that landed a couple miles outside of the temple and the disturbing aura that was projected by the hooded figures that step out.

[Redwing]

((OOS: Was about to move this to the Story forum, but I guess co-written stuff can stay here. Interesting thread ^_^))

[Jedi Apprentice]

Traveling through hyperspace the keepers of the peace were preparing themselves for battle. For many, their first battle. Throughout the long flight to the Vong's home planet, the Masters frequently gave small talks of advice to calm the anxious Apprentices and Knights.

 

Although he was preparing himself for battle, Teran had a tugging towards the Academy. He knew something was happening.

 

Destruction.

 

He couldn't focus on a passing thought however.The upcoming battle was enough to stir even the most battle-hardened Jedi. As the ship pulled out of hyperspace the Jedis made their final preparations and watched Luke as he made the first step out of the ship into the foreign planet.

 

(Redwing--I like to call it "Story Role-Playing." Maybe you could join it sometime? )

[Darth Blonde]

Teran's impulse proved to be dead on. As the academy is comsumed by fire several figures step out. One of which is Darth Senraf, he is a tall humaniod with fair features. However his skin is a dark blue and his hair is a brilliant white. He snarls in disgust, somehow the jedi had eluded them. Their crafts left just as the sith had come. Did they sense them? The few remaining jedi had been no problem.
