Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jami heard a slight humming and walked into the training room, where he saw Zeth. He walked to the center of the room and switched on his lightsaber. He spoke in a calm voice to his opposite. "Instead of fighting, why not train with each other? It would allow us to see the other's abilities and hone them to a fighting edge. We'll need this for the next battle, Zeth. You know this."

Jami watched the rotating of the sabers, then closed his eyes and opened himself up to the Force. He focused on the sabers, then created images in his own mind of them striking at him. He physically responded with Makashi and Soresu techniques, which he had learned that morning. After about fifteen minutes, he was executing the moves almost flawlessly, if slowly.

Jami nodded as he switched to a Soresu stance. "Which is why I also learned Form III Soresu, the most defensive style. It's made for deflecting blaster bolts and allows the user to defend himself very well. A true master is nearly invincible. However, some don't have the patience for it, since there may never be an opening in some battles, while the form relies on defense until an opening is found. I prefer it over Makashi, though. If I can master both forms, I should be able to take on almost anything." His eyes glittered slightly as he began deflecting imaginary blaster bolts.

"......I perfer Ataru and Sokan styles, combined with Jar'Kai, the Two Sword style combined with the Force enhancing Saber offense and defense styles make me comfortable."

The spinning blades started to spin faster as it made wave forms going up and down. He began to open his eyes with a new found confidence

Zeth began to slow down with his sabers, but he tried to bring them to a sudden stop, but failed. He grasped the saber with one hand, but winced with pain. He still gripped it, but stood in Ataru style none the less

"I never back down from a challenge....so lets try to see if I'm better"

((alittle character controlling has been approved by Wild Cards))

Zeth turned around sharply, back facing Jami and guarded with his right hand. He grabbed the other saber and went for an underleg sweep, Jami does a backstep to dodge the attack and stood in Makashi style. Both of his hands started to hurt alot, but stood his ground in Ataru. Zeth charged with both sabers while Jami blocked with slight parries, using little energy in the opening battle. Zeth's acrobatic movments, jumping around, putting huge strain on his body, but giving Jami a difficult time guarding the attacks.

A downward slash to Jami's head was blocked by an overhead parry, followed by an upward slash to Zeth's Neck. Jami stopped when Zeth pointed at Jami's neck as well. He back away and dropped the sabers, extinguishing them when they dropped. Hands stiff from pain, he panted from exhaustion

"I guess......I put to much strain on my body in the last body......I guess this is A draw now.....impressive Jami"

Sehan had lingered in the meditation room long after the jedi had left him to her own duties elsewhere. Though he was the newest of new trainees at the Temple, his wanting to learn and the even larger goal to establish his family's name in honor far exceeded his usual quiet and reserved self.

He wasn't given much instruction in terms of classes or teachers as he was so used to doing at his school back on Kothlis. The little bothan figured he had free range to roam the concourse and was doing so with great intensity.

He had watched two jedis, the padawan and the scary man, practice dueling for a small bit, catching the ending of the session. The lightsabers were truly a spectacle to behold. His eyes didn't blink as he watched the two fight with great intensity. Sehan figured the scary man from before was a whole lot better than the padawan because he was fighting with many bandages around his body and still managed to have the upperhand.

As it got later in the day, the constant use of his glimpses in the force tired the Bothan youth. He decided it was a good idea to take a quick nap and headed back to his dwelling full of great hopes and solidified dreams of becoming a Jedi Knight.

Glacian stood over the burring pyres for both Bryce and Yoda in his jedi robes. He had felt this tragady the instant that his senses had opened back up to the whole area around him. But by that time it was too late. He had checked the holovid recorders to make sure, and horribly enough, it was.

Jessica was with him. Her arms around him and head on his shoulder every one had left by now, seeing as the pyres had almost totally incinerated the bodies and were dying down.

"I could have done something Jessy," Glacian said, his usually closed eyes open, though still clouded. He had cried for the deaths of those he respected and cared for, those who did not deserve this end. "We can't keep hiding this, the other's need to know where I'.ve been all these times."

Jessica lett go of him and crossed her arms in sort of a self hug as she watched the last of the fires die down. "I know Glace. I'm sorry if I somehow led to this, I really am," Jessice said with a sad look on her face. She and Glacian had found there feelings for each other had continued to grow ever since they first met. The near death experience had only served to excelrate them into full blown love. She and Glacian had been steeling time to be with each other as well as for Glacian to continue his training in the nuetral arts. She had seen him used powers that had startled her, not the least being a massive force storm.

With a final nod, they walked out the door as the fires finally snuffed out. Glacian called to everyone in his mind, through the force:

Everyone, it's Glacian. I know what happened, I can't say how much it hurts me that I wasn't there, I truely let you all down more than anyone else here. I know about the plan to rescue spehiroth and I want to suggest something first thgouh. Please meet me by the Raptor as soon as you can, There will be space for one more fighter in its stores, as Captain Jessica Vulf will be joing us. I will explain that as well once we are gathered.

May the force be with us all.

As he finsihed, he and Jessica arrived at the Raptor as she went inside to prepare her fighter for possible deployment for dogfights.
