VoLt189 "The honor is all mine, young Ashandi... We'll have to start immediately though. Before you ran into me, Master Sephiroth and I were speaking of a very important mission and I have to attend to it right-a-way. But I can't do it alone. I will need help from another... I need your help." He paused for a bit to smile, then continued. "Will you help me, Ashandi?" Two great honors in one day! "This is one of the happiest days of my life!" thought Ashandi. "First Master Volt takes me as a student, and now I get to travel on a mission!"Her excitement carried to her voice when she replied. "Of course I will help you, Master!" Who would turn down an opprotunity to go into space and do the things that Jedi do? Her mind quickly thought of how cool it would be to use the force to save the people they had to rescue, jumping into battle with lightsabers a blazing... Lightsabers.... Her face fell a bit, even though she still looked a little excited. "But Master, I don't know how to do anything. I've never held a Jedi weapon, and I haven't had that much practice with the force." Ashandi was dismayed. How would she ever help her new Master now? He wouldn't want her to join him now.

The Wandering Maniac "You will have to choose what to learn, diamond. That is the best way to develop.
Kari, I will teach you more about how to use the force then. As you noticed before, your concentration made the force flow trough you, make you capable of lifting the box. Now, we have to make sure you can do that with just a short moment of concentration instead of minutes, and eventually, while walking, concentrating at multiple things at the same time. Focus is the key, the more you focus on an object, the easier you can manipulate the force around it and use it as you want.
The more you practice this, the quicker you will focus, and stronger. You can manipulate the force more, and in different ways. Push, pull, electrocute... in the end, over a longer range. It all comes with practice, ambition, and concentration. We will practice your speed now. Walk down the hallway, there is a machine. It lowers iron targets on a magnet, they stay for a while before they go up in the ceilling again. Once one is gone, another will come down, and on, and on. But, the targets will dissapear quicker and quicker.
It''s up to you to pull them off. Concentrate on a target and pull it off the magnet with the force. I will make sure the targets get back in the machine so we don''t get out of them. You will have to focus enough quicker and quicker... the more you try, the more you can pull off, you will notice it.
Diamond, there are multiple pull ranges there, you can take one next to it if you want to. If you feel like your pull is strong enough, or managed to get all speed levels, you can turn the machine so you have to push them off. It shouldn''t be a problem then, because your focus speed is high then and that''s the same, the only difference between push and pull is how you manipulate the force. But that''s not up to focus speed, just manipulation skill...." Diamond bowed and headed out of the training centre and headed to the Machine Room. As soon as he entered the room he walked upto one of the ranges and prepared himself for his next test. He used the Force and activated the machine. A few moments later the first target was released, Diamond quickly pulled the target towards him. It was not as hard as he expected but it wasn''t so easy either. A few moments passed and the next target came down but after a few seconds began to return to its original "base", Diamond quickly caught it in time though and he pulled it towards him. This was going to get harder Diamond knew but he remembered what Swex had said earlier about it not being about pulling the object but manipulation of it and the area around it. He deactivated the machine and started to use the Force to feel everything in his range area. The more deeper he dove into the Force the more he could feel the objects around him. He then finally realised that if he could feel the entire area around an object he could move the object itself much easier. He then began his exercises again. He reached through the Force and activated the machine. As before the machine released its first target and almost immedately he could feel the target and the machine itself. He reached out and pulled the object towards him, except this time it came alot easier and as Diamond thought quicker towards him. He continued this exercise and like he was told the objects did come out quicker and tried to return quicker but each time Diamond managed to pull the objects to him. The more he repeated this exercise the easier it became. After repeating the exercise for one final time he decided to go and get some rest so headed towards his dormitory for a rest....

Slowly rising from his sleep, Diamond headed back to back to the training centre to further his training.
As he headed back to the training centre he wondered about the possiblities of using Force Lightning like Master Swex had mentioned earlier. It was a move usually associated with Dark Siders but Diamond was pretty sure he could use this technique and still stay on the Light Side of the Force. He knew he had to ask Master Swex.
As he reached the Training Centre he quickly entered and headed towards Master Swex.
"Master Swex may I have a word with you? You mentioned earlier that with the right amount of training you could do anything. Well recently I have been thinking about furthering my Force skills but also including Dark Side abilities in my training. The main technique I wish to learn is Force Lightning because I know I am strong enough to avoid the lure of the Dark Side of the Force. Would you be willing to help show me the way to learning this ability my Master?"
He knew what he had asked was forbidden by the Jedi but hoped Master Swex would help him learn this technique....

Kari went on with her trainning, The more time she spent the more she could control the force. Kari yawned as she finshed another round of targets.
Kari was tired fom her training that day. Kari went to find Master Swex.
Master I think I'll go get some sleep, it's been a long day. Kari bowed and turned to leave but then turned back to Master Swex. Thank you for training me Master. Kari smiled and turn to leave.
Kari left the jedi temple going down the steps heading to her ship, the sun had set and the sky was turning dark. Kari walked quickly to the hangger where her Astromech droid was with her ship.
Dwoooo, Beeped R3 when she got to the hangger.
Sorry R3, I didn't think it would take that long, Kari said to R3-D8.
Kari looked at her broken down, old jedi starfighter. Kari sighed at the sight of it, it needed alot of work and with her training she would get alot of time to work on it herself.
R3, when I'm trainning I will need you to work on the ship. Kari smiled at R3.
Beep Deet, Beeped R3.
Kari sad on her ship thinking about the day events. Suddenly she remembered she was going to go look for Zeth, after her training. It was night and Kari had no idea where to start looking for him.
I'll just go talk to him in the morring, Kari thought to herself, and climbed of the ship and began to fix what she could before going off to sleep.

Glacian had gone into the training machine that Master Swex had mentioned. He wanted to try out his father's advice, since he had not had the chance to try it out with such a machine before. He sat and started the machine, concetrating on the cubes and thinking not of willing it to move by himself, but willing the force to move it for him, concetrating on the force instead of the cube.
Once he had that done, he pulled the cube to him, he actually over did it, and cube shot past him, he had the idea right, but he needed to control it better. He focused on the next cube, and willed the force to move it, but willed it to only move it so much. this time the block did not move enough and when back to be pulled back up to the top. Glacian now knew the potential power in this way of thinking, it had much larger results that simply thinking that it was your own strength moving the object. He just needed to master the control of how to command the force to move things, to know how much he exactly needed something moved. He continued to practice with the machine.......
About and hour later Glacian came out of the practice chamber, sweating and half exhausted. he made his way to his quaters and sealed the door behind him as he went to take a shower and then sleep.

"yes glacian... size is not of matter, nor is weight for the force. They only exist in your mind... but with the proper amount of concentration, you can manipulate an almost infinite force, capable of moving virtually anything... But don't try to take too much at once, don't get over-convident. Never learn faster then you think is right. You need strong manipulation skills before you can use such powers. And you need to tell your mind weight and size do not exist, which is not an easy task.
Students, you did well today. Your rest is deserved. Sleep well.."

"Diamond.. you wished to talk about that... I can give you some instructions, but not teach you the full power, not here. Many jedi do not approve it... mainly because they could not stand the lure themselfes.... I know you can. I will teach you the power on a more remote spot, for the safety of your training and my rank.
The idea is simple however. Like normal, focus on a target... then on the force. Then, bring all the force in the area between you and the target together in small beams, the mass concentration of energy will produce a flow of lightning in the arc you concentrate on. The more you practice, the bigger the area you can let those streams flow trough..."

R3, could you bring me the hydrospanner? Kari ask R3 when half of her body was under her ship. R3 rolled over and a hydrospanner dropped onto the ground.
After working on her ship for over 2 hours Kari was tired from the days events. She climbed out from under the Jedi Starfighter. Kari looked at R3, and though it was time to go rest.
Well, at least we can get it off the ground now.....hopefully, Kari said to R3.
Dwoooo, Beeped the droid.
R3, i'm going to go get some rest can you work on the hyperdrive tonight? Kari said to R3 while yawning.
Beep tweet, Kari heard R3 beep as she walk back to the jedi temple to get some rest.
On the walk back to the Jedi Temple, the days events kept running though Kari's mind, mostly the time she spent trainning. Kari thought about the force and how she was able to control it, move things, lift things. It was all new to her, yet it just seemed right somehow. As Kari made her way up the stairs to the temple she could feel the force around her, though she didn't stop to concentrate on it.
Making her way into the temple she thought about her duel with Diamond, and that she needed to learn a lightsaber form if she wanted to get better with a saber. Then she remembered about Zeth, she would have to look for him in the morring, she wondered it he had found a master to train him yet.
As she made her way into the dormitory her thought of Zeth finding a master made her think of Master Volt and if he had found a student. The words Master Volt said, about this being her new family, Kept repeating in her head. Her first day and she already made so many friends.
I guess it was a good idea to come here, Kari thought to herself as she fell asleep.

[[aren't we all Master Swex's padawans? Meaning that he would have to take all three of us (Diamond, Glacian and Kari) on any missions or lengthy outtings? Such as a trip to another planet for training.))
Glacian woke up to a shrill beeping sound, except he didn't set his alarm. He lifted his face form his pillow, his ruffled hair in a mess. "Huuuh?" He said groggly. "Time to wake up sleepy head," said a feminen voice. "You've been asleep long enough, and I was tired of waiting in the ship, you never said I could move her into the Jedi temple, so I just made my into the systems here, not really any different from all those years ago."
Glacian sat up and looked at the holocron he had had in his jacket. It had unfurled some legs and walked up the side of his desk, and had a wire tap touching his clock, causing the alarm to go off. After seeing he was up, the holocron disconnected the wire and put up a hologram. It showed a attractive woman in her twenties with strait black hair that went to her shoulders, and was longer in the front than in the back. He skin was pale white and her eye looked black and had what looked like cryptographs where continually scanning acrossed her eyes. She stood in a dignified and somewhat annoyed body position, like she demanded respect and was sorely pissed that it hadn't been given to her.
"Calm down Isis, I just had a lot happen, I forgot to tell you where to put the ship, sorry." "Damn right your sorry, If I had my body I'd do something not very plesent." Isis said. as Glacian got up and went into the other room to get his cloths on. When he came out, he was dressed in a grey tank top and black pants. He threw on a white over shirt and drew his jedi belt to him with the force and buckeld it as he used the force to draw his saber to him and put it inside his overshirt.
As he left the room, the holocron shut off the hologram, jumped onto Glacian's shoulder and the latched onto his upper arm, a metal braclet extending around his bicep. He made his way to the hanger and on the way he saw Master Swex and Diamond talking. "If you guys are going off planet, we can use my ship, it's one of the fastest and most manuverable ships out there, especially for it's size. I was about to.." With that, the holocron made a holgram appear again and the Isis appeared again, this time the size of the rest of the people there. "Stop talking and tell me where to put the damn ship! I've been waiting in the cockpit systems for more than 15 hours! Even we abstracts have limits to our patience."

"Okay....time to continue learning the Form my last Master tried to teach me"
Zeth hopped down from the hood of his ship and drew his vibrosword. He was aiming at trying to learn Form III with his metal blade. He knew the defencive capabilities of this form when faced A blaster with A Lightsaber, but if he faced A blaster with A sword, it would force him back or knock him down.
So, instead of A blaster, he would use R4's maintenence laser, which was much weaker then A blaster but would be stronger than A training droids laser.
"R4, every time I say attack, I want you to fire your laser at me"
R4 bleeped as A sign he didn't want to shoot at his master, but then regained his faith because he knew Zeth would be A blade master should he become A Jedi. Zeth began to say 'attack' every few seconds and R4 would shoot at Zeth. He blocked nearly every attack with his sword.
At times he was hit in the leg or shoulder, but shook it off immediately and blocked the next shot
"Good R4, keep it up....Attack"
Zeth had been training until the sun came creeping over the buildings and lighting over the Jedi Temple. Zeth thaught he would try A spin block with his sword, so when he said attack, he spun the blade around and blocked the attack, but it shifted and sliced at Zeth's arm, Blood spills all over the furyan and under Zeth.
He clutched his arm in pain and groans loudly, but would not scream. Blood continued to pour out of his arm while R4 rolls around violently not knowing what to do. Zeth remained on his knees, clutching his wound and cursing at himself for doing something like that
"Dammit.......Why did I do something this foolish?"
Zeth clutched his arm harder to try and stop the blood. He didn't want to go back for help, thinking if he did he wouldn't be allowed to train in there anymore because of what he did just now. He just stayed there, clutching his wounded arm, waiting for it to heal naturally

"Not here diamond, not here... once we are out of the academy, we can train those skills...I don't think it should be long. If all 3 of you are here again, we will continue training... Meditate until then, to prepare yourself. In any way, we'll start in an hour, all complete or not...."
Swex observed Glacian return, and was quite suprised by the sudden apearance of a large holo..person in the room
"Funny thing Glacian...one of your toys? Or is it more then that...she seems to be more then just a message...or messages suddenly got some kind of own will..."
Swex smiled, even though he wondered what it was, he decided to ask no further questions about it unless Glacian started about the thing himself...it wasn't really his business what students play with in their free time... nor did he really care
"Meditate as well for now. If Kari comes back, we'll continue training. If not, we'll start in an hour. A nice offer you made with the ship, I think you 3 can use it when we go out in the open... I'll use my own ship for emergiancy cover, however"

Alron returned to the jedi academy after his not-so-good visit to the senate. Of course, he had to investigate now... but where? The enemy would show itself again, he was sure... he could go for them then, but it was most likely he'd just be shot again if he did. It seemed impossible to find a point to start just like that..
Alron headed for his room to meditate, and take another look at the datapad he once found from maniac.
"C'mon r2.. I hope you won't leave us like your old master once did"
"bweep tooot"
"Glad to hear you still have convidence in the light mate... we'll get him... I hope alive, I hope we can just get him back"

"Master if I may, I know a planet were we could train in which we could test our Force skills and also work on training against fall under the Dark Side's allure. I recommend my home planet of Vjun."
Diamond was unsure how his master would react to this idea but he knew Vjun was cloaked in the Dark Side and if they could resist its allure there they could resist it anywere in the Universe.

[[ I dont know, about all 3 of us having to go, i just know i'm the cute one of us 3 blaugh ]]
Kari yawned as she felt the sun hitting her face. Her eyes opened slowly to take in the light. Kari fell out of bet hitting her head, causeing all the blankets to go all over the room.
ohhhhh, I am not a morring person..... Kari said to herself, as she lay on the ground.
Kari got up and wet to look out at the city.
Ummmm, I wonder when I was supose to meet Master Swex..... Kari thought, I should have asked him, I better hurry then....
Kari ran around the room looking for a her things. She wasn't the cleanest person in the world.
Pants, pants.......where are my pants......Kari said running around looking for her pants.
After a few minutes of looking for her pants she was fully dressed and ready to go. She then remembered she wanted to speak to Zeth but she first would have to find Master Swex. Kari head to the door but at the last minute relized her training saber wasn't on her belt.
oh, shoot.... where did that thing go.... Kari quickly turned to look, however when she turned around she stepped right onto of it a fell down on her butt.
Owch....Kari said she he hit the ground rather hard. This has to be a Monday by how this day is starting.
Kari stood up and grabed her saber. she didn't wast time to stop and clip it onto her belt she ran out of the room trying to clip it wil running looking for Master Swex.
She didn't have to look long to find Master Swex, and everyone else was already there. Kari ran up to master Swex.
Sorry I'm late I slept in and didn't know when we needed to meet you. Kari said bowing to Master Swex.
