Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dante turned in his seat as Kai stepped up the loading ramp "Hello kai." Dante said, looking at him. "We need to talk." he said, leaning forward. "Recently, I've been feeling more and more..." footsteps on the loading ramp. Dante became silent as he sat back in his chair and Kokushi came up to deliver his bags.

"...as if I am out of the group. Ever since my arm... I am starting to think that it would be best if I left the academy..."

"hello Kokushi... I dont mean to sound asif im leading this expedition, but could you do me a favour and round everyone up? you have a greater connection to the girls than I do, they might actually listen to you," or at the very least look at you "And Cole... If someone could collect Cole that'd be great." Dante finished, turning back to look at Kai.

"...Perhaps it would be best if I didn't join you on this mission... If something happened because of me... Perhaps it WOULD be best if I just worked on returning to normal..."

Dante stood up and looked from Kai to Kokushi. "We need a Pilot. I would do it but... my arm. I'd sugest you Kai but you have a very... unique style of piloting and we need someone who can pretend to be part of the empire when we fly into Moenia... kokushi, how would you feel about Piloting?"

"You know damn well you cant beat me in a fight Brother, especilly with my new abilities." he smiled at his brother. "besides, with me gone your the next most powerful Jedi, besides the Masters... now why would you want me to return, so that you became only the most knowlageable Jedi... besides the masters?"

Dante smiled, half laughing. it looked asif he were laughing at what Kai had said about Kokushi and the girls but he had only just barely been listening.

"Good... As I keep saying we should leave as soon as possible." he added to the comment on Cole.

"I've been working on returning to normal for the past 2 weeks... the only thing I can think of is to find, either, another crystal, like the one Zeek gave me... or go get the original..."

"I agree there is absolutely nothing wrong with that whe your not trying to pass yourself off as an Imperial shuttle looking to find a fugative on the planet of Naboo... But wait a second... we ARE trying to pass as an Imperial shuttle looking to find a fugative on the planet of Naboo. And generally Imperial shuttles dont do corkscrew nose dives to see who will piss themselves first on the way to a planet... Speaking of which, it was SO you last time, and dont even try and say that it was me!"

Cole felt awkwardness creep in when he witnessed Kokushi's exchange with the girl Cole barely knew. As Kai left, Cole took the opportunity to sneak out as well. He headed for his room and gathered his belongings. Ancient Jedi have always believed in simplicity, and although he still adheres to Jedi customs, Cole nevertheless believed that the times have required the Jedi to be a bit more... creative. Though Cole still wore the traditional Jedi robes, he was often advised to wear less conspicuous clothes when they head off-world. Cole had the typical Jedi belt that carried his hilt and a few small supplies that came standard to Jedi. Cole practically jumped into his jumpsuit, his preference especially when travelling in space, and wore a specially designed vest. The vest had defensive modifications, but more times than not, having multiple and varied-sizes of pockets were what came handy the most to contain the rest of Cole's gear. He rushed to the hangar and hopped into the ship.

"I don't think I've flown one of these yet." Cole said, admiring the ship as he looked around. "Sorry to keep you all waiting." Cole added, saying it just loud enough that everyone could hear.

Cole quickly noticed that there were only three of them there. He had hoped that there was no... animosity between Kokushi and the other two girls since they aren't there yet. He released a soft sigh, continuing to look around the ship. He's learned a lot since he came to the temple, even more so than what he knew before. Having an interest in the Jedi as a youngling, studying anything that had to do with the Jedi was more like a hobby. He soaked up information as quickly as any other apt pupil of the Order, and as soon as he was old enough to travel he began to secretly collect Jedi artifacts. Some were easy to collect, since Jedi have been regarded as fugitives, merchants practically gave their trinkets away, afraid to draw the ire of the Empire.

After he moved to the temple, he had placed every single artifact in his ship, The Jacknife and kept them there since his quarters is not big enough to house them all. Constructing a lightsaber, with the proper materials, is not difficult since his current lightsaber is now the fifth he's constructed. As he thought of the lightsaber, a composition with the materials and the hilt gathered and designed by Q, he plopped down on a nearby seat and pulled it out, looking at it fondly.

((Dont worry, we'll make like you're sticking with Kida... and because she's away for the weekend we'll make like she's right behind us, quiet because of her dis-like for the planet she was queen of.))

"Heh... looks like Kokushi would actually prefer to pilot than deal with the situation, but I should be able to manage this baby just fine. The Ebon Hawk, huh? That sounds great! As far as we've gotten with hyperdrive technology since the Ebon Hawk ruled the Rims, it's hyperdrive is still ahead of it's time, probably even still comparable to the Millenium Falcon's and the Outrider. Corellian hyperdrives tend to be unruly with the modifications put in it, so I've been meaning to duplicate the specifications of the Ebon Hawk's. The Leviathan, I think, was a warship that worked to counter hyperdrives by some sort of gravity simulation generators. I'm much more interested in the Ebon Hawk's schematics, something to look forward to when we get back." Cole said, his giddiness painfully apparent.

Aria jolted slightly when he called her name. She closed her eyes as she looked over her shoulder, catching his eye just before he turned and left.

"This isn't going to be easy." She mumbled before following.

(Thanks a lot guys.)

"You know aswell as I do, dear brother that if we fought one on one until one of us fell it wouldnt be me lying on the floor at the end of it. And thats why I'm a guardian and You are a Sentinal." he smiled again as he turned back to his seat and sat down.

"You have a good eye for ships." Dante said to Cole. "The Ebon Hawk is one of my favorites, But your wrong about the Laviathan. The Laviathan did use hyper drive engines, the gravity Genorators were used to stop other ships from jumping to light speed by simulating a large, planet sized mass."

Dante smiled as Kai failed to remember that it was he who pissed himself when Dante had cork-screwed them straight into Beggars canyon when they were younger, pulling out just in time to stop that nasty little thing called death.

"When the Rising hope breaks down someone may be screwed but it sure as hell aint me... not if Im closer to the ships hangar." Dante said, laughing a little as he visualised Kai waving his fist at Dante from the hangar of the Rising hope after Dante had taken his ETA-2 after the ship had gone out of comision.

Dante yawned. "I have a feeling I should have brought more supplies than all the bread..."
