Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ganil felt a surge of... of an new feeling unkown to him. It overwhelmed him, and he fell down to his knees and his head fell down to them. One of the Republic generals ran to his side and knelt next to him.

"What's wrong, Sir?" he asked, a sense of fear in his voice.

Ganil brought his head back up, his eyes wide with realization.

"He's... he's dead..."

"Who Sir?"

"S... Selkisto... and the others... they're dead."

"How do you kno--"

He was cut off by one of the technicians at home base. "" He stopped to talk with another on the other end of the comm. ""

Ganil stood back up. "Y...yes..." He regained his posture, reminding himself that there will be more time later to think about it, but now was not the time. He turned around to his soldiers. He set his comm to all frequencies.

"This is it! Get ready troops!"

There was a loud bustle of noises as soldiers gave last reajustments to their gear and as the artillery vehicles revved up.

There was a loud whirring of energy as the shield disappeared.

"CHAAAAAARGE!!"

Mordranna nodded to Angel as she took her leave. "Again, I wish you well,"

She then turned her attention to Neb. "I should go back, at least to pick up my fighter. After that, I'll see where the winds of the Force take me," she adressed him with a friendly smile. But, her expression promptly shifted from the warm, easy-going smile to a pensive one of worry. "Yes, we should get back soon. I sense a disturbance in the Force, and I imagine you may have as well," She then shook her head. "It doesn't have anything to do with our friend there, however. She, I have a good feeling about," she stated, reffering to Angel. "However, I think that Ganil may be in trouble," She then turned her attention to Cajin. "Well, we're about to leave here. That said, you could come along with us, if you like,"

Imperius loomed, injured at the top of the mountain. Through the Force, he could sense that Drako survived his fall. He grimaced, and felt Angel reappearing through her odd masking in the Force. He struggled to stand, but had to use Force Levitate to stay up, and slowly drifted down the side of the mountain, towards thhe Eclipdra.

((Now I need Cajin just to get off the ship... You do know "duckie" is kind of British slang as well, don't you AC? sort of like "child", but different. I find it to be a quirk that may prove useful for ep. III))

"So," Neb stated, "A little brother now, eh? Alas, we all have those whom we desire to protect, my duckie. Oh well. I have nabbed some tapes for the trip back, as I've said."

Neb pulled out the disks, and looked at what they contained. "Biography of some jedi... another dude.... Exar Kun.... Wait a tick..." Neb stared at the writing on one particular disk.

"Nebuchannezar Wulf? What in the.... I don't remember this... I think I found our in-flight movie, my duckie..."

"Very well." said Cajin, standing up and turning to leave.

Pausing at the door, he said "Hah, wasn't half-bad. Maybe I'll follow you, and if I don't...I'm sure our paths will cross again. Good luck."

Ugh...did I actually say that? I sounded so...sappy... he thought, as he left and headed for his own shuttle.

Angel took her leave, stopping to thank Neb and Mordranna for what they've done for her. She exits the ship with a new peace of mind. Though the Light Side had become a bit stronger in her, the Dark Side remained dominant, but it now lacked the feeling of anger and hatred it once carried. As she made her way around, she thought about what it might've been like to have been a Jedi rather than a Sith. She would've been better off, but she wouldn't have met the Dark Lord, nor would she have realized her true feelings for him. It was at that time she remembered the vision she had while out cold. " The pain felt so real... " she thought, and she soon realized it was no dream. " Phoenix, please be okay. " she kept saying in her mind, as she started running towards a faint Dark Side aura, using the Force to speed herself up.
