Screaming Phoenix - Holding Cell - Davth's Mind
The togruta was beating back his opponent, his making the best of his knowledge of Jar'kai as he started with a twin suns slash altering halfway through to bring the blade in his left hand back across. The strike slashed through his opponents robes and the man lept backwards cackling "I was starting to wonder if you would manage to hit me with those things, Of course you do realize im going to kill you slowly now." With a pair of gauntleted hands it took hold of where the robe had been ripped and tore it off. Davth's eyes narrowed as he looked at his opponent, it was the sterotypical sith enforcer, black clothing with armored plating, but it was not the armor that was drawing his attention, but the near spitting image of himself wearing it. Everything was perfect, save the reddened eyes, and dark patches attributed to to much use of the dark side of the force. "What foul trick is this?" he asked as he quickly reconnected his sabers. "Why this is no trick, I am merely giving you a glimpse of your future once I take this vessel and expose it to the power of the dark side." the doppleganger twirled its single red saber and adjusting its stance.
A brief stare down ensued as Davth studied his opponents stance, the way he held himself. "Come then let us watch as your precious dark side is forced back by the light." He had his opponent pegged as a practitioner of Shien, and was already playing the next few moments of the fight through as he motioned for the man to attack.

Epoch Wren - Tython Landing Base
"zzzzzzz......"
Corvin always felt more at home on his ship than he did in his assigned quarters, but he hadn't slept here in some time and now, as he adjusted his pillow atop his head, he remembered why. His co-pilot Dea'avril may be easy on the eyes, but the normally graceful twi'lek woman snored like a drunken ugnaught! Even from the other berth he could not shut out the sound, and so he decided to rise early in the hopes that the ship he saw the night before had come to land (and might prove more interesting than the cacophony currently reverberating through the corridors).
He pulled his robe on over his body armor, careful to ensure that all his affectations were carefully concealed about his person - his own special version of a morning ritual. On his way out he patted his astromech droid, SNAFU, on his shiny metal chasis and took a moment to admire his pet project - an antique speederbike that he'd restored as much as possible given the parts at his disposal since his arrival on Tython. It was ready to fly now, but could still use some newer stabilizers.
He opened the airlock and shaded his eyes, surprised at how high the sun had gotten already - he must have been more tired than he thought to have slept through that so long! As he adjusted to the light he saw the unmistakable bulkhead of the Screaming Phoenix. Eagerly he scanned the environs around it, hoping he wasn't too late, and sure enough - there she was!
Elyria was standing to one side, her hand in her pocket. For all his eagerness, Corvin froze a moment - watching as the wind and sun took turns playing off her hair. Conscious now that she might be able to sense his apprehension, he schooled himself quickly and adopted an air of confidence. "Well, isn't this a surprise!" he announced from the top of the airlock ladder. Rather than climb down, he took advantage of the opportunity to show off. Gathering the force to him for a second, he launched himself into a leap that spanned half the distance between them and landed - not in a crouch as one might expect, but light enough on his feet that he transitioned his momentum into a casual walk for the rest of the way. "I'm told I'm to call you Master Stone, now!" he added with a hearty laugh, like a man greeting a long lost friend more than he would a mentor.

Tython - Spaceport
Elyria turned in disbelief, shielding her eyes with her free hand at the familiar voice..one she had not thought to hear again.....but it was unmistakable..
her full lips parted in a smile of genuine delight "Corvin?..Corvin Blanc...is it really you? Taking her hand from her pocket she ran to him and threw her arms around him...pulling back suddenly, her face crimson, she looked down shyly "Forgive me...I just...I..never thought to see you again...rogue that you are... she softly laughed and just look at you..Je'daii robes and all...why I didn't even sense your Force signature!" regaining her composure she placed her hand on his arm...feeling the hardness of it..she looked up at him questioningly...casting down her emerald eyes I'm..sorry...I left you...new in the Force..to fend for yourself...... Looking up to meet his eyes with her own, her brow furrowed "And what of your Mother...were you able to free her? Did the Je'daii help you in your quest?"

Tython - Spaceport
Corvin pulled the mechanical arm away almost reflexively, nonchalantly using it to rub the back of his neck in an effort to hide his own surprise. A nervous laugh preceded his reply, "Yeah, the Je'daii were very helpful. She's got a job and quarters here now, in the Temple of Healing." Guess it was silly to worry if Elyria would remember him... but she never thought she'd see me again? What does that mean?
Questions hung in the air between them for what seemed far longer than the few seconds he paused, but he was so startled by her embrace that all the intelligent ones flew away, and what came out was "You really couldn't sense me?" He felt his own face flush, and so he forced himself to regain his posture and adopt a practiced air of casual confidence. "I've learned a lot of basics from the other students, and from a few masters, but..." nobody will take me as an apprentice - the thoughts now collided with one another before he could suppress them - They all say I'm your problem... He let the mask slip, and in it's place was a genuine smile that was better than any he'd practiced. "It's good to see you again, Elyria!"

scuttlefish Coruscant - TempleZara wasted no time in getting to work on her studies. She rested very little during this period, devoting herself completely to her training. No one had told her it would be easy, but she had known exactly what she had agreed to and she was going to see it through until the end. The rewards would be more than worth it. When the time came that she could defeat the training droids set to the highest level, she knew it was time to craft her own lightsaber. Upon study of many holocrons on the matter, Zara opted for a double-bladed lightsaber, as her true advantage was with her speed and agility rather than strength of attack. When she had finished crafting her saberstaff and had mastered it by practicing day and night with her new weapon on the droids, she returned to her master as instructed. She waited patiently outside of his quarters, as she had no way of contacting him through her wristcom.
Coruscant - Temple Corridor
Esuritio's eyes shot open. He broke out of his meditative trance and smiled.
She was ready. She had broke her chains and began to harness her power.
He felt her standing outside, anxiously waiting to demonstrate her new-found prowess with the Force.
Rising from his knees, he stretched his muscles and opened the door.
Zara turned to face him, with a humble look of pride on her face. What caught his eye moreso was the lengthy saberstaff hilt dangling proudly from her belt.
"Impressive, Zara. Most impressive. You have done in weeks what many could not do in years. I've been monitoring the training droid logs. We've had to commission Czerka Industries to create tougher models! You've made me proud. I have not ever once had an apprentice that has impressed me." He said with an unusually... Happier tone.
In the moment, he was more interested in her lightsaber. He extended his hand and snatched it from her belt, igniting it as it made contact with his hand.
The crimson glow was dazzling. The hum perfect, not a single tick or flaw in the construction. The hilt felt perfect.
He had trained with saberstaffs before, so he proceeded to flaunt his prowess with one, his body moving in unison, the blade flowing through the air in one fluid motion.
He deactivated it and handed it back to Zara.
"Your training at this point, is complete. Save one final test. Meet me in at the training grounds in one hour. Ensure your saberstaff's power output is set low. No dismemberment."

Coruscant - In Orbit
Jaden lay near lifeless for the entire trip to Coruscant. Hallucinating dreams or so he thought swam through Jaden's mind. He remembered where he was last before he fell into darkness. He remembered making the journey to find his mentor. He remembered finding his mentor. Nothing after that and nothing before was clear enough.

Coruscant - landing approach
The ship lowered inself out of orbit towards the planet surface. The city planet was as busy as always. It seemed like the people didn't really care who were in power, as long as there normal lifes were undisturbed.
The from the other end came on again and said, "I'm transfering you to the Temple Tower. Fly safe my lord." The sound of static was the only sound on the comminication divice.
The voice of a women came on. "You finally return my lord, please proceed to the Alchemy Landing pad. I will be there to greet you as soon as you land. The voice seemde sincre, but it wasn't the one that he had talked to in the past. He talked to Kinsa `dira, the head scientist of his agumented weapons divison.
This science always seemed intresting to Locolvictum because of his macanical eye that he once had. What Locolvictum understood so far that it was easier to put a side arm in a mancanical arm than it is to put in a full auto rifle. But as far as he knew, everything was still in the experimental stages. The point was to increase the abilites of the user as well as have a few tricks up there selves to make them more of a opponent.

Tython – Spaceport
“She's got a job and quarters here now, in the Temple of Healing."
‘I’m so glad she smiled, her green eyes shining, “Then her midochlorian levels were high enough to sustain her here? winking “perhaps we will have another Je’daii in the making…”
she never thought she'd see me again? What does that mean?
Reading his thoughts “I left you…to face the unknown…with strangers…to search for your Mother…I thought…I thought you would return to the carefree life of a scoundrel….I’m glad you decided to stay…for many reasons…….”
"You really couldn't sense me?"
Shaking her head, the tousle of copper curls moving with her, “Really no……again I’m impressed by how quickly you’ve learned to master the Force”
"I've learned a lot of basics from the other students, and from a few masters, but..." “ you’ve surpassed the all my expectations in the potential I saw in you…. I hope this doesn’t sound condescending…but…I’m proud of you” she reached for his hand and gently squeezed it as her eyes met his, a small smile playing across her lips, her cheeks coloring
nobody will take me as an apprentice…… They all say I'm your problem...
“a problem you say…laughing silently…just what have you been up to in my absence?...I have never taken an apprentice of my own….. Speaking aloud “Perhaps it is something I can discuss with the GrandMaster…I am on my way to see him now….
They were suddenly interrupted when a dense aura of Dark Force began to emanate from the Screaming Phoenix and a tremendous crash of Thunder broke overhead, the sky lit up with a streak of lighting breaking the clouds and heading towards the distant Temple of Anil Kesh. Several more arcs of Lightning reached out towards Anil Kesh from the Chasm, dense black clouds rolling towards the Temple - more flashes of lightning hiding inside, Elyria quickly looked back towards the ship she had just disembarked from as the small case in her pocket again began to reverberate, slamming into her thigh as if trying to escape, …..quickly moving her hand against it, holding it fast and hoping Corvin had been too distracted to notice “Davth…” her breath caught in her throat as she felt the battle raging within her comrade….

Screaming Phoenix - Holding Cell - Davth's Mind
The shadow of himself had lunged at him, his strikes were vicious and his counterattacks, though predictable, violent and wide swung. He could see how his opponent was longing to use the force, his anger would feed it with the force it would give him a degree of power but without it he was getting sloppy. While the force would be a weapon he would gladly have used in the fight he had lived half his life without call for it he did not need it as his foe did. Davth was continuing the duel, blocking, dodging, parrying, and the occasional strike to keep his foe from gaining any ground.
His foe roared near blinded by hatred and the Togruta saw his opening, he blocked and pressed his own offensive. The blows were fierce and rapid and his opponent was meeting each one with force, Davth smirked shutting off one of his blades completely bypassing the sith's block before reigniting the blade and carving into the mans leg. "Raaah!" the doppelganger bellowed, but Davth was not finished as he drug the blade up his foes leg and across his chest. "You hold no power here. This is my body, my mind, I will not give it to you, surrender while you still have a chance."

Coruscant - Temple
Her training was complete?
Zara was so excited at those words that she could feel herself having heart palpitations. She managed to contain herself, ignoring the pain in her chest and and giving him a slight nod before she left. When she got to her quarters she had to lean against the wall to catch her breath.
Her training was complete...
Did that mean she was ready to go on missions with the rest of them? She could hardly contain herself. She wanted nothing more than to use her powers to help the Empire. They had taken her in when she was nothing more than a scared, dirty runaway. They had seen her potential, given her so much, and there was no way she was ever going to let them down. She warmed up her lightsaber skills on a practice droid, then went out to meet Esuritio in the training grounds at the appointed hour.

"Who's Davth?" Corvin asked, tearing his eyes away from the strange weather to check with Elyria. He then followed her gaze back toward the ship, half expecting the answer to present itself. Ordinarily one to catch small details, he must have been very distracted by her concern, for he completely missed her hand as it pressed to her thigh.
He focused instead on taking up a defensive posture, hand on the hilt of his vibroblade as he put himself between her and the ship as though he were in any position to defend against something that worried a Master. "I feel it too..." he said, becoming aware of the palpable tension in the force around them.

"You feel it...don't you? It is the Dark Force corrupting the balance on Tython... she reached for his hand with her free one, her brow furrowed as she looked over his shoulder at the Phoenix "Come...we must hurry to the Grandmaster...I fear he alone will be able to control this Evil" Not waiting for a reply she started moving towards The Temple where Grandmaster Ka'all Ender had his quarters...the sky suddenly lit with another blast of lightning as the thunder crashed above them "Quickly Corvin..our very lives may depend upon it! the holocron at her side rattled more violently with every flash of lightning seemingly desparate to escape it's prison.....

Corvin nodded and, trusting in his companion, quickly followed her lead. He was more than a little saddened to have their reunion cut short, as this was not at all how he had pictured it, but those concerns were petty in the face of this new danger.
"Never a dull moment with you, is there?" He put the force to his feet, and Elyria could feel it creeping along her arm and down to her own as he used his practiced athletic augmentation to give haste to both their progress. Corvin shielded his eyes as they began to create a wind of their own, which whipped her hair about his face as they ran at superhuman speed.

Screaming Phoenix - Holding Cell - Davth's Mind
Davth was torn on how to handle his foe, he was at his mercy one flip of his wrist and the thing was dead, but it was not in his orders practices to kill a prisoner. With the force dampeners in full effect he would beat his for with ease, but they would have to take him from the cell at somepoint and if even for the briefest of moments his foe could harness the force he could turn the tide. 'Not if he is unconscious.' He balled his hand into a fist and aimed for his debilitated foes neck, when the strange man fell to his side and kicked into the Masters knee cap. The blow staggered him and his foe was impossibly back on his feet. "You have alot of fight in you, you have power but refuse to use it, I will change that."

Coruscant - Alchemy Landing pad
The ship slowly decended down past the buildings. Unfortunitly the landing pad iself was on the lower levels of the temple, but it was the fastest way to get to the Division of Alchemy center. That could be the reason why its always refered to the Alchemy landing pad, but Locolvictum wasn't sure.
The landing gear extened and the ship landed safely. Locolvictum getting up out of his seat grabbed Jaden from the one that he had thrown him in what seemed like moments ago. Resting the boy over his shoulder, Locolvictum walked with him towards the back of the ship where the boarding ramp was. The ramp extened towards where a crowd of people were waiting. There was quite a number of them really. Some were Soilders, scientists, advisers, mercenaries, hopefuls, and rest looked like there were guards. For some reason there was also a Gundark.
Most of the people there seemed like they were either here on business or they were just passing through. The rest was there for him it seemed like.
Walking down the ramp Locolvictum took a moment to find the eyes that was there looking at him. A female twi'lek with green skin had stepped foward and matched his step as Locolvictum made his way from the landing ramp towards the entrence. "You have returned my lord, She said with something that sounded like happiness, "may I ask who that is on your shoulder?"
"This boy will be my first student," Locolvictum said, shifting a shoulder. He was getting really tired of carrying Jaden. Locolvictum's eyes then met someone elses that was standing guard. He was forced to wave over the poor man before he freaked out. The guard ran over and stood at attention.
"Good, now take this boy to the med bay. You are to inform me the moment that he wakes up. Am I clear?" Locolvictum said, taking Jaden from his shoulder and basicly handing him like a rag doll to the guard. The guard took Jaden and ran with Jaden in his arms for the med bay.
