Wastes of Mandalore - Temple
The entire facility came to life when Vic placed the small object in the crevice....."Vic..that's not..your..eye??" "What a horrific b****** his father was to subject his child to such cruel irony...and he a Jedi?" As the stairs were revealed, her breath caught in her throat and she felt a brief moment of anxiety...this is what they had come for...but what would she find in the cavernous darkness below .....

"Vic..that's not..your..eye??"
"Yes, yes it was." Locolvictum said, placing a hand of the eyepatch. He then began decend into the long stair case downwards into the depths. Lights went on as he went.
"The lights will turn on as we go along." He said, not looking back.

Inside the Temple - Mandalore
Letting the Force guide her as she made her way into the darkness, and squinting when the lights came on before her, she followed Vic down the cavernous stairs, watching carefully for any traps along the way...not knowing what to expect, she had her senses finely attuned to her surroundings....
The walls were only slightly damp, even in the dryness of the desert..but then they were underground...the air a bit stale and only a few stray cobwebs hung from the higher spots in the ceiling above..it was surprisingly well maintained for all it's years of abandon

Temple - Wastes of Mandalore
She heard the click, then slide as a door opened before them. Suddenly her senses were on full alert as the most rapturous scents filled her nostrils. Her green eyes widened as they lit upon the sight before her..it was a garden - comparable to the Master's Garden at the Je'daii Compound on Tython. She couldn't help but smile at the beauty and vibrancy of life around her. The wondrous colors and smells. Foliage lush and verdant, petals of the softest velvet. She brushed by Vic to touch and breathe in the beauty around her, turning to him she smiled - "It's glorious"..looking around, taking it all in "Ah, this would be treasure enough for me" But..how can it survive in this barren wasteland?

Keldabe Streets
Kad was walking the streets for twenty or thirty minutes before he caught up to Davth.
"Oi! Davth, how are you? Your Force signature seems off..."
Kad looked at Davth with concern, his fellow Master seemed a little off. Something had happened recently.
"did something happen?"

Space - En Route to Mandalore - Unknown Ship
Awaken.........
Fiery eyes shot open with a loud gasp as the translucent green fluid began filling her lungs the minute she drew breath. That gasp turned to gags and soon audible choking as her body, no longer in its suspended state, would collapse to the floor of the tank. Alabaster fists would pound heavily against the reinforced glass before the liquid began to drain away from her body, leaving her hunched over on the bottom of the tank as translucent green fluid was voided from her lungs, giving way to deep, pained breaths of air choked between violent coughing fits.
The pair of eyes would slowly look up from the floor of her tank once the coughing subsided, only to be met by a tall shrouded figure whose face was obscured by a smooth, featureless obsidian mask. The figure did not speak as it tilted its head towards the frantic eyes. It simply pressed a button on the side of the tank, the glass panels soon lifting away from the base with a hiss as the woman inside would slowly step forth, stripped of all her gear and clothing with nothing to show but a cybernetic implant where her left lekku once hung. Upon seeing the cybernetic implant, the woman's body went rigid from the chill of the air around her. Her eyes narrowed and her lips parted to form a scowl. "Where am I and who a- ACKHH"
The figure before her would wrap his long bony fingers around the Twi'lek's neck, effectively cutting off both her ability to breathe and speak. A shallow voice could be heard behind the mask as it spoke, its grip kept taught
"You have both pleased.......and disappointed me, my dear A'kire."
The Twi'lek's eyes would widen as she heard the voice utter her name just before the grip on her neck was loosened. Immediately she would drop to her knees, head hung low.
"I did not expect you to fall at the hands of that Selkath. I had hoped that holocron would be in my possession, but I have....other plans for that. However, this Bes'kargam will make for a very nice barganing chip. Bring me the Jedi who owned these......and learn what you can about the one who has the holocron. They both reside on Mandalore, currently in Keldabe. Your gear is in my room. Get it and leave immediately via the small craft I have provided you. It has been outfitted with stealth technology and radar jamming equipment to get you planetside, but do not fail me...."
"Yes, sir. I understand."
A'kire would nod, keeping her fiery orange eyes narrowed as she bowed, turning to take her leave. The ship itself was unfamiliar to her as she made her exit, but soon enough she was approached by what was obviously one of her master's protocol droids, stating that it would show her to her master's room and then ultimately the docking bay. The Twi'lek would give a nod, letting the droid lead her naked throughout the ship.
Space - En Route to Mandalore - Unknown Ship - Docking Bay
I will live through him....I shall become a vessel of his doing.....my skin will be stained by the crimson blood I spill......I am reborn......I am him.....he is I....together...one......
Hands shook gently at the controls as the Talon I Combat car would take to the void of space on its way to the Mandalorian city of Keldabe. A'kire would sit at the wheel trembling, blood flowing from a gash over her left eye as a vibrodagger lay in her lap. A depraved smile spread across her face as the silence in the cockpit soon filled with screams - none of which were hers.

Wastes of Mandalore - Temple
A protical droid walked into the room.
"Please submit to biological testing, or be eliminated." The droid said, then a group of two dozen battle droids of unkown model came into the room with weapons drown. Turrents from all four corners of the room came down and aimed at the two of them.
Locolvictum took a step forward towards the droid. The droid then said, "Please give me your hand."
Locolvictum gave the droid his hand, the droid picked the plam with a needle and took a sample of the blood. The droid stood there for a moment before it dinged.
"Welcome home master, you have returned. As you have asked, we have maintained the facility.

Elyria watched as Vic went forward and let the droid take the blood sample....."Master...so he has been here since his father's death....." The droids had them surrounded, weapons pointed..."Vic.....what's next...are we cleared?" The beauty of the moment was dimmed by the harsh call to reality...this was no simple garden after all...maintained...no guarded by battle droids...again she wondered what she had gotten herself into.....

All the droids and the turrents shifted to Elyria. "Who is this? Is she the Master Jedi? The creator would be unhappy if you returned without one." The droid said shifting its gaze towards Elyria.

Mandalore - Outside the City of Keldabe
Bring me the Jedi who owned these......and learn what you can about the one who has the holocron. Do not fail me.
A pair of boots would leap down from the steps of the shuttle, making a soft thud as they landed on the turf below. Behind her, there would be no signs of technology. Only wilderness that seemed to stretch on for miles. She had finally made it to Mandalore. The city of Keldabe, where the two targets resided, was only a short trek from where her shuttle was hidden. The Twi'lek would stick to the shadows as best she could, though as she approached the city, she would pull the thick black cloak she wore over her head, letting the hood hang loose and obscure her facial features in the shadows it cast.
Mandalore - Streets of Keldabe
Do not fail me, A'kire....
Do not let them see you.....one false move and all will be for naught. Destroy any suspicion. Remain unseen. Leach their thoughts so you can tear them apart. Take back what is rightfully yours
Step by step. Inch by inch. A depraved smile grew on the Twi'lek's face as she advanced into the city. Darkened alleyways led her futher into the twisting streets, while keeping her well hidden. With her force signature suppressed, she'd scan the area for the Davth and Jedi, constantly watching and silently waiting.

She stood poised, her hand gently placed on the hilt of her lightsaber...ready at a moment's notice to deflect any unwelcome fire from the droids surrounding the pair...the tension in the air was palpable..having lost the joy she had felt in the beauty surrounding her, Elyria was once again ready to battle....her green eyes flashed, every muscle taut....
"Who is this? Is she the Master Jedi? The creator would be unhappy if you returned without one."
She held her breath....

Locolvictum nodded his head.
"Oh, the creator would be pleased." The droid said joyiously, "Now activating protical A-sub slash B. Begining new run sequence." The battle droids in the room dissappared as if they weren't there. The turrents that had come down from the ceiling receeded back from wence they came.
"New standerds of protical and interface set." The droid said, finishing the new activation sequence. The droid then walk up to Elyria and said, "Welcome to your new facility Master Jedi. I hope you find everything to your liking."

Elyria scanned the room as all the droids disappeared one by one, her hand slowly relaxing at her lightsaber......
"Welcome to your new facility Master Jedi. I hope you find everything to your liking."
She smiled...a smile as dazzling as the desert sun and made a slight bow to the droid..."as I'm sure it will be, Master Droid.... this garden is amazing..is it your doing?"

"We are programed by the creator to maintain and fix the facility." The droid said, shifting to a side.
"Would you like a tour of the facilty?" The droid asked Elyria.

"Indeed I would" she nodded to the droid before her "Vic...will you be joining us? I would like to hear more about your Mother...and your Father...did he create this paradise for her?"
Under different circumstances, she would have gone to Vic's side and linked her arm in his as they toured the facility, letting him explain in detail each room and what symbolism it held for him and his father...but his hatred for her was so strong at this moment she knew her best bet was to keep her distance and let him work it through...but her tenacity would not let her give up the bonds of friendship they had forged...she would do her best to maintain these bonds and perhaps.....he would soften again and not let the recent events on Mandalore affect the relationship they had so painstakingly forged...biting her lip...she moved on letting the droid lead the way
