Talon analyzed the data that the datapad had on lightsaber forms. He saw numerous forms. He saw one that interested him in particular, soresu. It helped defend you as much as possible. He decided this was what he would try to work on as his form. He headed back to Kari.

Eldin having now left Sephiroth's presence, he carried on walking about aimlessly, lost in his own thoughts. He too was growing bored of the confinds of the Jedi Temple, so it gradually dawned on him how bored the other Jedi must be. He knew he had to get them out of the Temple, not just for a stretch, but for them to apply what they had learnt in their training.
He plodded along back towards the Jedi Council Chamber, stopping just outside the great doors that lead in. He leant over to the inter-comm panel just by the doors, speaking into softly. He voice was projected all around the Temple.
Could Master Adonis and Master Kari please report to the Jedi Council Chamber immediately. Thank you.
Having finished, Sephiroth stepped through the doors, once again taking his normal seat in the chamber, the seat one right of centre. He knew that he really should be sitting in the centre seat, the Head Jedi's seat, but he personally felt he had not earned it, and would be dishonourable to the late Council Members. Therefore, he left the centre seat alone, waiting the Jedi he had summoned to enter.

Anger is an emotion you want to avoid as best you can Ryukai, Trust me. The Dark Side always attempts to make you fall to it, try to calm your mind and try a..... Before Kari could finish Master Sephiroths voice came clear over the temple. She had been called to meet him thus she needed to leave. I'll return as soon as I can, wait here for me. Kari turned and made her way quickly down the hall of the temple to the Council Chamber. She unsure what Master Sephiroth had to say but thought it must be important to have called her and Adonis to the chamber.

Talon heard Master Sephiroth too.
"Looks like I better start studying this. It says this form was developed to counter blasters, so maybe I should practice on the droids."
Talon headed off to the lightsaber training droids.

Ryukai sits there as Master Kari left for the Council chamber, hearing another Jedi over a loud speaker. That must have been the Master in charge of the temple. As she left, her words echoed in his mind.
"Anger is an emotion I want to avoid....."
He was told to remain where he was, not wanting to disobey her word. But there was something he had to know as soon as possible. He left the room and headed for the giant library known as the Jedi archives. So much data of the history intrigued him. He decided to start withg the history of the Jedi. He walked slowly down an isle and found a holodata entitled "The Discovery". He picked that one out and sat at A desk and began to read silently in his mind
"25,000 years ago, the brightest philosophers, scholars, priests, and warriors from dozens of planets collectively started comparing notes as they found a common entity which was called 'The Force'. Through study, meditation, communion, debate, and experimentation, the coherant theories of the force were discovered. The sought for knowledge and defense was known as the Light side and the....aggressive, jealous, covetous aspects of the Force were labeled aspects of the dark side....."
Ryukai paused at that part, understanding why Master Kari told him to avoid anger as much as possible. It was true, he was aggressive and at times jealous. The things he could learn in this library astonished him. He decided he would stay for awhile and learn as much as he could about the Jedi and this Dark side.

The droids had activated since the lightsaber was brought up. It wasn't held by her, no, but she was the one behind the sabers, so she was the target. The droids hovered around for a moment. Fina turned the sabers so that one was horizontal, blocking one of the bolts while the other moved diagonally from where it was for long enough to block one bolt, swinging it around so that it was horizontal like the other to block another bolt fired by the little hovering droid. After they were done for the moment, Fina straightened out the sabers, readying herself for the next shots...
After a while of training like this against the droids, Fina grasped her sabers, switching them off and setting them at her sides. That was enough of that for today... So, she switched off the droids and set them back where they were supposed to be. Walking out of the training room, Fina headed to the elevator. She'd heard the announcement, but didn't let it mess with her concentration at the time. Maybe we'll be getting back to our duties... She entered the elevator, pressing the button to go to another floor...
She watched the doors slide open for her, and walked out into the hallway, heading towards her room... She'd continue reading about the jedi of the past...

As Talon turned on the training droids, they fired. Talon decided he would learn to spin his saber to deflect blasts. He needed to spin it near his body to learn correctly. He could not spin it correctly as he deflected one bolt, and another hit him.

As Jami walked through the halls of the Jedi Temple, he wondered what he would do with no access to the outside galaxy. He was dressed in one of his new "tunics", and it fit far more comfortably with his robes than the last one had. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Talon working with some training droids. He saw a familiar Soresu stance, but it seemed... too aggressive....
"You need to relax your stance a bit. Soresu is about wearing out your opponent, not wearing yourself out defending yourself."

Bored, Eldin finally came down after his seclusion in his rooms. He intended to train some more, since he hadn't in two days. Getting there, he found Jami and Talon hard at work, Jami tutoring while Talon fought training droids using a Soresu variation. Sorsesu was a proven effective tool against most styles; it's only weakness lay in Ataro and Makashi. Thus, Eldin's Djem So wasn't adequately acceptable to fight here.
But then again, he considered himself better-than-average anyway, so it didn't really matter. He went over to the console, and summoned up a dueling droid. He flipped his white beam on, initiating the duel, and waited for the droid to make a move; it was set to attack.

Talon stood more relaxed, took a breath and started again. He was still practicing the spining. He figured it would take him a while. This did not bother him though, he knew this was what all jedi went through.

Jami shook his head, sighing as he saw Talon. "Your form is too... I don't know... rigid? Soresu takes patience, Talon. You seem to want to be too offensive. Soresu might not be the right form for you." Jami drew his own lightsaber, setting the teal blade on training level, and stood in front of two droids, which activated. Using the Force, he skillfully began to deflect the bolts, each move slight and precise, enabling him to use very little energy. Finally, he moved in and stabbed the droids with a few quick Makashi movements, which caused the droids to disable. Jami switched the blade off and gazed at Talon. "I mix elements of Makashi in with Soresu, so that my style has some prowess against a lightsaber. I try to defend myself with Soresu, then attack with Makashi when I see an opening.
"Now you try."

"Alright"Talon griped his lightsaber and used the force along with his saber to deflect the bolts. He did it not moving from his position, like a true soresu user would do.

He flipped his white beam on, initiating the duel, and waited for the droid to make a move; it was set to attack. After a few momens of stare-down, the droid lunged at Eldin in Makashi fashion. The padawan dodged, and brought his sword down to the droid's blade, and sliced it going up. It replid by pulling out before the shaft was sliced in half, and swung at his head, but he ducked, spinning his sword in reverse to catch it on the flip-side, and pushed it back as he aimed a kick at the droid's gut, kocking it back.

Jami nodded slowly, rubbing his chin. "Better. Keep working on it. And don't worry so much about defeating your opponent so much as staying alive."
