OOC:
Looks intersting count me in! Just one question though, can I have more than one character. I really have two characters that I want in this from one of my SW fan-fics. I'm assuming that this takes place at least a thousand years before Episode I due to the fact that Mace Windu mentions that the sith has been gone for almost a millenia, if not that is okay.

I'll just give one profile for now.

Lightsaber/color:(Uses two at once) One is a normal Crimson bladed Sith Lightsaber, and the other is a short bladed Violet Lightsaber. Also has one other light saber equiped to his belt. A strange Lightsaber he stole from his former master with two blades coming out one end. It is known as the Dual-stacked Sith Saber. One blade is Red while the other is a thick dark shade of blue.
Force Powers:Force Lightning, Force Kill, Adavnced Sith Telekinesis, Force Push, Domination of the Mind, Addvanced jump, Healing powers(including the deadly Life Drain)
Bakground Information:Used to be a great Jedi Master on the counci on Couruscant became curupted with dark intentions and tried to overthrow the order. Even though he failed at the attempt he managed to drag some of the counsil's pupils down with him. he now awaits the next chance to take the fight to the Jedi that once taught him!

IC:
Everyone was looking at her...

She tried to ignore it as she stepped down the long, dark street, illuminated by the masses of neon lights flashing from all around,

but she could feel it...

She couldn't blame them. Even in a crowd of aliens such as this she was unusual. She wasn't from this galaxy, her home was (had been, she told herself) millions of miles away. So far away, the influences that had shaped the races in this galaxy were completely different to the ones in her own, so they had turned into very different creatures!

And the armour didn't help either. She felt some of the emotions from the crowds around her...some of them liked the look of the gold...some of them wanted it...

She had looked for other clothes when she had arrived, but there was very little that could suit her unusual form, and she didn't have any currency to buy some anyway.

She spotted a bar on the corner of one of the streets, and quickly made for it. The streets were absolutely packed with crowds, and she felt completely hemmed in! Maybe in there she could get a little space...

The bar was almost as packed as the street, but there were a few empty tables. She tried to appear inconspicuous as she moved over to the one in the corner. She could feel the eyes burning into her from all sides...

She couldn't use the chairs, but she sat down on the floor, resting her arms on the table. A robot waiter came rolling over to her on it's single wheel. "May I take your order?"

Fortunately she had learned the language for this galaxy from the minds of some of the guards at the spaceport. "Do you have anything that doesn't cost?"

"Only water."

Well at least she could be sure that water wouldn't harm her physiology. "Yes please."

The robot moved away and she was on her own again. She sighed a long, depressed sigh.

She hoped they would find her soon. That was why she had come. They were aware of her presence on this planet, she knew that. They would have felt her like she had felt them.

She focused on it now, allowing the waves of the force to flow through her. There were many of them, all at varying degrees of proficiency. Some kind of training ground? It didn't matter, the signature was clear. They knew, and wielded, the force. This made them her allies.

And when you are alone, you need all the allies you can get...

(OOC: look ok? Let me know if anything needs changing^^)

Conme walks through the main corridor of the Sith temple on Thule when his comm-link goes off. A hologram emits form a circular decorative plate at the top of the commlink. The hologram is a robed figure with a tattooed face.

"Conme. I've run into a being on coruscant. I can feel her presence. She is well acquainted with the force. She looks like some sort of warrior and has the longest lightsaber handle I've seen for a single blade. I sense she will cause trouble for our plans on Coruscant. I would like you down here immediately."

"Yes Lord Maul. Right away."

Conme turns his commlink off and walks to the hangar to board his ship. It's a silver Nubian he happened to steal when he was on a mission on Alderann. He sat in the cockpit and looked at the scar on his arm. "I don't like this mission. I don't like it one bit."

OOC: Looks cool

IC:
Side: Neutral/Jedi rogue
Species: Vaelek, like a humanoid cat, human shape only with cat ears, a tail, thin fur all over their body and a half human half cat face. They come in varying colours, and have the unnerving ability to change their eyes from cat pupils to human and vice versa.
Name: Lily Star-runner
Age : 12
Height: Unknown
Weight: Unknown
Eyes: Blue-white human, yellow cat.
Hair: White mangy dreadlocks and white fur.
Clothes: Black baggy trousers and a baggy black top. A secret poketr in the trousers for her lightsaber.
Lightsaber:Two long lightsabers that when connected together and twisted in a certain way they connect and form a double-bladed lightsaber.
Saber color: White
Force powers: Brilliant at force levitation, jump, and okay at force push, not that good at anything else.

Lily crept through the vents, heading for the kitchens, hoping that no one would hear her as she stole through the metal shafts. She felt the presense of someone below her and for a few moments felt the pang of fear, she hoped she wasn't being hunted again. But then she let the fear wash away, whoever it was didn't seem to be searching for her.
She sat down to catch her breathe, and listened in onthe conversations below.
TBC

OOC: Hope that's alright

Deep in the heart of the vast neverending city of Couruscant, Chonai Striken a renagade Sith, approached his destination. A Republic guard bloked his entrance.
"I'm sorry, but do you have authorization to enter this facility?" the guard asked the robed Striken.
"Here let me show you my 'AUTHORIZATION'!" Chonai rasped.
"I don't like your tone scum! Eihter you show the correct authorization papers or I wil-"
The guard was cut off as he was lifted into the air by an unseen force cutting off his air supply.
"Let me into the damn base for I will have no problem dropping you to your death!"
The guard was guided over the railing above the traffic lane. Vehicles swarmed by as Chonai lossened his grip a little bit.
"PLEASE!" the guard screamed, "You may enter! Authorization code is Red233456762!"
"Thank you that will be all." Striken grinned as he let go of the guard through the force dropping him a long way into the vast Undercity. The guard will either fall to his death or get taken down by an unsuspecting driver it really didn't matter to Chonai Striken.
The evil Sith walked over to the entrance door and punched in the code. The blast door swished open and in walked Chonai with his Lightsaber hilts in hand. The place he entered was a Barrackks for Republic troops, and he was here for revenge. Everyone was asleep during these late hours, and it would be no problem to dispose of them easily.
He ignited his two blades and approached the bunk of one of the troops. He brung down the short bladed purple blade into the chest of the sleeping soldier. He let out a scream alerting the others then fell silent.
The soldiers sprung from their beds rusing for their weapons, but Chonai let out a blast of Force Lighting dropping three of them at once. He tossed the crimsion bladed saber nailing another guard in the heart. He killed every guard in there except one. The lone tropper curled up in a corner crying as Chonai walked toward him laughing.
"So these are the brave men and women of the Republic armed forces?" Chonai grined, "Pretty pathetic if you ask me."
"Please don't kill me, I have a family to tend to!" the guard pleaded.
"Don't worry I'm sparring your life." Choani turned off his lightsaber blades and knelled down to stare in the face of the frightend guard, "I want you to deliver a message to yor advisor. Tell him next time he tries an attack on the Sith base I will leave no survivors! Now GO!"
The got up and bolted out the door.
"I could use a drink right about now! Lucky for me there is a bar just down the street. Normally packed but they serve the best drink in the Core Worlds."
Chonai Striken exited the barrackks.

As usal the bar was packed, but that didn't matter. Chonai Striken made his way up to bar to order him a drink. An oversized human came up to replace to servant droid.
"What will it be?" he asked.
"I want your best." Chonai replied.
"I hope you have 70 credits or no drink."
Choani waved his hand across the face of the server useing the Mind Domination ability.
"But I'm such a good customer that you will allow as many drinks as I want for free."
"Of course, but is our secret." the server agreed.
Choani took a long drink fromhis glass then set it back down. He could feel the force all through out the room, but there was something strange coming from a Taidra across the rhe bar. It was something that he never sensed before, somthing untamed inside. He got up and started to approach her. She spotted him coming closer and closer, but she wasn't afraid as most were. It wasn't easy being a feared renagade sith, and he was cetain that this species had somehting special about her.

IC:

Alex made her way through the crowded streets. A few people seemed to move out of the way for the young Jedi knight as she made her way towards a bar, just a couple of metres away now. The council and sent her out to locate this new presence on Coruscant. Luckily the unknown person made it easier for her to track her down. When Alex finally made it to the bar, she pushed through the entrance way opening to only appear in a much more crowded space then the street.

Her robs had caught the attention of the Bar owner and a few costumers. Needless to say a few looked nervous since Jedi werent usually ones to visit such a place. On any other day their nervousness could be well founded, but today she was just here to see this new comer, who seems to be well in tuned with the force. After walking through the crowd for a bit, it didnt take too long to find the stranger. She certainly wasnt from around here and Alex couldnt quite place what species she was either.

Hello there She smiled.

(OOC: A thought, Eggpire...since Casira is from another galaxy no one would recognise her spicies...that's why everyone was looking at her before.)

Casira sat silently with her drink, staring down at the table top and trying to be inconspicuous. And yet she was still very much aware of what was going on around her...

She flinched slightly as a wave of energy rushed over her. Were they here already? Slowly she looked up, trying to locate the scource of the power.

She soon spotted him, a tall man in a long black robe. He was stood by the door, looking round. She regarded him carefully out of the corner of her eye, trying not to let him notice. Yes, he knew the force all right, but there was something...wrong.

A small shiver ran up her spine. Something was different about his aura, something...cold...sinister...

Gently, carefully, so as not to let him notice, she reached out with her mind, trying to contact his memories. Anyone not trained in the force would never notice the probing, but those who knew it would be able to feel her reaching out. She would have to be careful...if she did much more than skim the surface he would know...

An image shot through her mind, and she jumped, catching her breath. Blood. There was blood in his memory, very recently too! But who's, and in what context?

The figure had by now moved over to a table and sat down, and with a cold chill she realised he was looking at her! She didn't know what this person was, but she was sure from his aura that he was not a natural user of the force...

He stood up, and began to step towards her, and though outwardly she managed to hide it, her muscles began to tense in fear. This was not good!

Another wave of energy washed over her, and she once again looked around for the scource. This time it was a woman with short hair and short brown robes. She too seemed to be coming this way!

Casira closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She had to be prepared to fight! It looked like she had stumbled right into a trap!

Then she noticed that the energy from the woman was different...warmer...lighter...

It was the way the force was ment to feel!

The woman reached her first, sitting down at the table and smiling at her. She was amazed at the woman's attitude...could she not feel the cold energy behind her???

"Hello there..."

The force felt light with her, but Casira was still on her guard. It could be some kind of trick, and in her position she couldn't afford to make mistakes. Out of the corner of her eye she saw the figure in the black robe faulter as the woman sat down, as though uncertain what to do...

Subconsiously her habd began to edge towards the armour on her breastplate,and her weapon embedded in the front of it.

"Hi." she murmured softly, trying to hide her nervousness...

(OOC: O.O long post, sorry. Just trying to figure out the force and how it affects characters and IC posts, and also Casira's feelings are very important in the situation she's in.)

As Conme's silver ship lands on a platform in the entertainment district, he feels a sudden tension in the force. He steps out of his ship and follows the feeling into a bar. There he feels the one he was told about,very strong in the force,and two other people.One of them is someone he thinks he recognizes. An old friend. The other one is...different. Somehow he knows that this is not coincidence. He knows that they are all involved in what maybe a prelude of things to come. He yells across the room to the familiar face.

"STRIKEN! What in the name of Exar Kun are you doing here?!"

OOC:I got a little confused on this post so you'll have to forgive me.

The moment Alex took a seat just across from Casira a serve druid rolled up wishing to take the young Jedis order. She looked up at it and waved it off. Alex smiled. Dont worry I sense him too. I doubt he dare approach us now. she stated in a calm fashion hoping to relieve some of the travellers worries. Im Alex Sheridan, I do hope we could become- just then another presence made itself clear within the bar.

Another Sith lord! She thought slowly moving a hand over toward the hilt of her light sabre. She looked over at Casira for a moment wondering if she could handle herself in a fight, though she herself would rather not get into one today. Unfortunately with 2 Sith lords just meters away the situation would more the likely turn south...

OOC: An idea. I would like to mention, but not thoroughly involve the chosen three. Qui-gon, Obi-wan, and Skywalker. The reason I said Skywalker,instead of stating luke or anakin is because nothing was specified as to who brought order back to the galaxy or who brought balance to the force. Some say it was Luke, some Anakin. Anyway,the prophecy wil be mentioned later. As for Eggpire's comment, that it has to take place 1000 years before phantom menace because Master Windu said that the sith had been dead for a millennia. I disagree Egg. As Maul and Sidious proved, the Sith were very much alive. They just kept it on the down-low. So if they were the only two, or there was a thousand more, it doesn't matter. It was again, never specified. I'm going to have this take place...300 years before Phantom Menace. As for Darth Maul, who was mentioned earlier, is Conme's master. It never told how old Maul was or if he was even human, therefore I believe he can be an active entity.
The Jedi council will be appraring and who ever is in front of the council may control some of the actions and dialogue. If there is two people,try to compromise on who says what. As far as the members go, Yoda is in the council, but there are different other members. I will get some names later.
Thank you for your input and membership in my roleplay. I hope it will be successful and entertaining for us all. I hope I cleared up some of your questions. If anymore, give me a private message or post it in public. Doesn't matter.

IC:
As she paused she sensed the presense of several jedi enter, two of them obviously Sith, but the other was light.
Now very nervous she tried to move on and stumbled on the grating covering the entrance to the room below.
In surprise and fear the grating slipped and she tumbled down into the bar right ontop of a table with the light jedi and the other person she'd sensed before.
At the looks of surprise she simply muttered,
"Ur...hi. Sorry."
As she tried to get up and run for the door she froze at the sight of the two sith, they were in her way.
Thinking quickly she bolted under the table and crouched down low, aware of the gaze of quite a few people in the bar.
TBC

It was too much.

Casira had been nervous anyway, and now with all this chaos around her it was just too much! She might have been able to take a single one of these dark-force wielders, but she doubted she could manage two at once! The woman in front of her...could she trust her or not? She may be in league with the other two and trying to fool her! Either way, staying here with those two in the area felt too dangerous!

And to top it all off, another figure suddenly crashed down on top of them, nearly knocking their table over!

It was just too much.

She had jumped backwards when the newcomer had landed on the table, her hand automatically reaching for her light whip, but she paused, deciding against it. If everyone here was in league against her she would be dead in seconds!Quickly she spun round and ran towards the door. She had to escape while she still could!

The civilians in the bar had been watching the proceedings wide-eyed, and many of them were leaving the bar themselves, worried something was going to happen. They had never seen so many Force-wielders in one place!

Casira dived out the door and set off running towards the spaceport. She had wanted the help of the others, but there was something sinister about those rogues in the black robes that she didn't like! She desperatly wanted help, but it was too risky to balance her entire race's future on that...

Were these force-wielders from the training camp trustworthy or not? She didn't know. If she saw one again maybe she would get the chance to find out...

OOC:
Good point, SS70, but that didn't answer my question. I was wondering if I could have another Character. He usally is found alongside Choani Striken so he is pretty important to this character.
IC:
Chonai Striken had only two drinks when another surge through the force shot through the bar. This time it was familar, but he never had the chance to turn around when he heard a shout, "STRIKEN! What in the name of Exar Kun are you doing here!"
Chonai didn't need to face the figure for he knew exactly who it was.
"Conme Damil," Striken said softly, "I knew it was a matter of time before I saw your face again. A Sith Lord are you? My, my it has been a long time. Well to answer your question, a seperate branch of the Republic forces seemed to have stumbled onto my secret Sith compound. Luckily my apprentices held them off. Many Republic fell, only 2 Sith suffered, and those that refused to help due to their lack of experience was brutaly killed. You could say REVENGE!"
Striken turns around to face Conme who came closer to the table.
"You fell it too, don't you? That strange creature that just darted out the door. There is an odd Karma coming from her," Striken stated, "She is certanly force sensitive, but if she were to awaken her true potental it could help us a great deal if we could ever convince her. It will be just like olden days, eh? Grab you a drink after all they are free. You alwasy need something to cool you off after a day of trying to gain control of the galaxy!"
TBC

OOC: Oh man! Sorry Egg. I forgot. Of course you can. Is he like a companion or underling or something? Doesn't matter. And if you'd like, you can include him any time. Just don't spawn the character out of thin air.

IC:
"I'll have the most expensive thing you have." he said to the bartender. "Look at that other Jedi. Definetely not as powerful,but still could be an asset to the Sith. The other that darted out the door is someone I'm supposed to kill, according to Lord Maul. But the thought of turning her never crossed my mind. Do you think we could do it together?" He looked at Chonai and gave him a sinister looking grin.

Alex when wide eyed as she instinctively reached for her light sabre, but quickly stopped noticing it was a youngling. What the Alex started before the traveler darted out, and the young Vealek quickly ducked under the table. This assignment wasnt going all to well for the Jedi as she let out a frustrated sigh. She looked back and noticed the two Sith were completely ignoring her and didnt even bother to chase after the stranger, though instead sit down together and share a drink.

Alex quickly grabbed Lily by the arm and dragged her out from under the table. Commonshe stated and ran off after Casire, not bothering to wait for any response from the child. Besides shed be better of with her, then these two Sith. Especially the older one

But I just noticed somethng in the original rules that I had to edit.

Please re-read them to make sure you know the changes.

Thank you for your support.

Casira reached the landing platform and quickly ran up the stairs. Her ship was waiting, a small black fighter, wedge shaped, but with organicly curved fins and conduits running over it's surface. It was extremely advanced, and had considerable speed and firepower despite it's small size.

As she topped the steps she sent out a force command and the cocpit hissed open. She quickly ran over and prepared to jump inside.

"Wait!"

She spun round, body tensed for action. The human woman that had sat at her table in the bar was running up the steps, followed by the child that had dropped in on them! Casira felt an involuntry shiver run down her spine, but she tried to hide it.

"Don't come any closer!"

The woman stopped at the top of the steps. "I don't mean you any harm." she said, her voice calm. "I'm here to help."

Casira took a deep breath. "How can I trust you?" she retorted. "How can I be sure you aren't in league with those others? They were up to no good, I could feel it!"

"The Sith are evil." replied the woman slowly. "Us Jedi are sworn to fighting them wherever they appear. We would have senced them here already but we were destracted by your appearence."

"What do you want with me?"

"The question is what you want with us. You don't feel like a Sith, and yet we know you aren't a Jedi. We need to find out just who and what you are." She began to step forward slowly. "And also, we sence your desperation. You are in trouble. You're looking for help. We want to give you that help."

"I said stay back!" shouted Casira, grabbing her light whip and activating it. The bright white blade shot out of the golden handle, hanging like a rope and swaying in the breeze. "You've given me no evidence! I can't trust you!"

The woman stopped, staring at the weapon. "I don't want to fight you." she murmured quietly. "Just come with us. We'll show you what we are saying is true!"

Casira didn't reply. Instead she simply fixed the woman with a cold stare.

The Jedi sighed. "I cannot let you leave this planet. You have a good knowledge of the force, and if the Sith should find you you could become extremely dangerous." Her lightsaber was in her hand, and with a flash the blade jumped up from the small tube...

(O.O Lightsabers already! It's up to you how you try to convince Casira that you're a force for good, Teh. Wonder if you'll manage it! lol)

"Maybe we could, but we must act quick! No doubt that the Jedi has already sensed her prescence here on this planet." Chonai Striken took a long drink from his glass.
"If we try to go after her you wouldn't mind if I allow my apprentice to assist us would you? If my senses are correct this one could bring forth the rise of the sith once again, or if turned to the other side could destroy all that remains of us!"

Not ot far away from the small bar that the two sith sat at, on the opposite side of the local district, at an off world dacking bay, rested Chonai Striken's Sith transport, God of Hate. Just on board awaited Striken's apprentice, a sinister wookie by the name of Wala-ca-hana (Known as Waller to his master and friends). He was instructed to remain aboard until he was called out. Waller was never one to miss out on action, but he would never disobey his master. He patiently thumbed around with his lightsaber handles as he looked on at the comunicator. His ears perked up when he heard a slight clatter on the outside. He curiously got up and made his way to the hatch. It was locked for safety measures, and Waller was reluctant at opening it at first. But when he did he found two Republic soldiers tampering around on the underside.
Waller let out a rasp growl as he ignited his golden lightsaber blade.
"Oh, Damn we've been spotted!" one of the soldiers yelled out to his comrade.
The two got up and darted for a speeder in the distance, but Waller tackled them both pinning them to the ground. They both wriggled around trying to escape the wookie's grasp, but only one got free. He ran all the way to the speeder which was manned by three more troppers.
"Don't leave me here!" the other called out to his partner through the wookies elbow, "YOU BASTARD!"
Waller Snapped the soldiers neck, and took off after the others. When they saw an angered wookie approaching they put the throttle to full and left Waller there.
Waller was going to head back to the ship and contact Choani, but as soon as he turned around the ship was engulfed in flames. Waller knew the republics had planted a bomb on him, and was thankful that he wasn't on board at the time. Not knowing what to do, Waller ran off desperately seeking his mater to warn him of a republic assassination attempt.
TBC
OOC:
Here is the profile for Waller.
Side:Sith
Species:Wookie
Name:Wala-Ca-Hana (Waller for short)
Age:105
Height:7'2"
Weight ??
Eyes:Green
Hair:Natural wookie style. Snow gray color.
CLothes:Just a utility belt for holding his lightsabers and ranged weapon ammo.
Lightsaber/Color:Normal Golden blade lightsaber. He is secretly working on another lightsaber suited more for his species.
Force powers: Very limited at the time for he's still in training. He knows Heal, shock, choke, and double speed.

As Conme, saw a Reoublic ship come from a distant landing platform. He looked over the scar on his arm and watched it glow a ghastly blue.

"This being is truly powerful. I can feel her still, Striken. Contact your partner and tell us to meet him on-" he paused for a minute, viewing the current scene by sensed viewing and found the landing platform name-"
landing platform B-3-X-13. Tell him to bring any weapons if he has any. The Jedi have already gotten to her! There's no time to lose!"

After that, he took the fastest route to the platform, willing to kill anything or one that got in his way.

The two reached B-3-X-13 to see two Jedi, and the objective, with her lightsaber drawn. Conme signaled to Chonai to turn on his lightsaber. Conme's blade was an imitation the Dark Saber, an ancient Sith treasure. Conme's version was definetely not as powerful but was still a lightsaber.

"Leave now Jedi, if you want to live a bit longer." yelled Striken. He and Conme out their lightsabers in attack stance and waited for the Jedi to make the first move.

OOC: Just for immediate future reference, if you're a Star Wars fan, you'll notice the difference in speed and technique between the two trilogies. Episodes IV, V, and VI have considerably slower and less stylish lightsaber battles, where as episodes I, II, and III have much faster, more technical lightsaber fights. You can ave whatever style you want, but just to let you know, mine will be something of a cross between Anakin's and Yoda's styles.

IC:
Lily was now gettig very panicked, all these jedi and now it looked a fight was about to happen.
Pulling away from the jedi holding herarm she used force jump and leapt agiley over the centaur like creature and landed on the ship, she clung to the top.
"Please, whatever is happening, I think now is not the time to argue over who is good and bad! It's a bit obvious from my point of view."
TBC

Casira spun round, staring in suprise at the child. That was some display of the force for one so young! These...Jedi, did they call themselves?... trained well!

But now it looked like they were trying to cut off her means of escape! Either that or trying to steal her ship, to get their hands on the technology!

She held out her hand, mentally interfacing with the ship's contols. With another hiss the cocpit closed up again, then a roar filled the air as the ships engines ignited. The craft lurched as it took off, unbalancing the young girl sat on top and knocking her to the floor. Casira instructed the ship to find another landing pad and touch down there, away from these crowds. It left her stuck in the middle of this chaos, but it looked like these figures may be against each other after all! Hopefully in the confusion she would be able to slip away and escape!

The high emotions were taking their toll...she could feel it. It wasn't ideal to be experiencing these emotions in her condition...it could be dangerous. She gritted her teeth and fought them down. Concentrate!

She spun back round to face the woman and the two...Sith?...over on the stairs to the landing platform, slowly pacing backwards to put some distance between them...

Alex spun around to face the two from the bar. She wasnt all that intimidated by Conme, but instead feared Striken. She also hated him for killing some of her close friends that day he tried to move against the council. Alex could feel the emotions grow within her, and fight their way to the surface, but she wouldnt allow it and concentrated on pushing them back down.

With the youngling, hopefully, out of harms way for the time being Alex could now focus on the two Sith lords. I will not let you harm her! The Jedi replied as she backed away from the stairs, and toward Casira. It was already bad enough when it looked as though she may have had to fight the traveler but now she had to rely on her help to face these two evil men. Alex shut her eyes and held her light sabre out in front of her in a meditative state, the buzzing purple blade splashing a bit of color against her short blonde hair and waited for them.

You should control your emotions or you may become just like them. She stated

"And what is wrong being one of us?" Striken questioned, "Why side with the freedom loving peaceful Jedi, when you can rule them with the power of emotion!"
Chonai Striken pulled out his Dual-Stacked Sith Saber and ignited both blade.
Then a voice screeched out from behind the sith, "Freeze scum! I won't have anyone distrupting the peace in this city."
A Courscant constable had heard the ruckus and came to see what was going down.
"I've no time for this officer!"
Striken grinned and shot his free hand down to the side sending one of his other two lightsabers flying off in the direction of the policeman. It spiraled toward the man, and when it was two feet from the constable, Striken reached out with his mind and activated the lightsaber. The crimson blade shot out of the hilt striking the constable in the heart. The man fell backwards with the balde sticking out of his chest.
Choani saw this as the perfect oppertunity and used his force powers to send the balde still ignited at the unsuspecting Alex!

IC:
Lily clung onto the ship aware of the drop below her, wishing she'd just stayed in the old aparment and not left her bed she closed her eyes and held onto the sides feircely. She heard lightsabers igniting and opened her eyes again to see what was happening.
She was just in time to see the constable die and then the lightsaber heading towards the person who'd pulled her out from under the table.
She flung out her hand and sent a sudden burst of force energy, knocking the lightsbaer off course long enough for the jedi to react.
Feeling slightly sleepy she closed her eyes again, hoping the ship didn't do any aerobatics with her on top.

Waller turned and went into a Swoop Bike registration building hoping to lose the tail that was after him. Waller was being hunted by Republic spies who caught him off guard in an abandoned appartment complex. As soon as he learned he was followed, Waller took off through the rear exit.
he didn't know why they were chasing them, but for whatever reason they were determened to catch him.
"Hey there wookie," came a raspy voice behind Waller, "You looking to enter the next race?"
Waller turned to face a female Rodian who spoke basic. Waller shook his head and let out a grunt meaning no.
"What the hell are you doing here then?" the Rodian said rudely, "Get out if you've no buisness here!"
Waller was getting very impatient with all this running and was on his last nerve!

Chonai Striken pulled his lightsaber back to him and placed it back on his equipment belt. He twirled his Dual-stacked lightsaber around infront of him.
"You see this lightsaber," he said, "Crafted during the Hyperdrive Wars by a Sith Lord. This saber is only found inthe hands of great sith Warriors. Only the best gain possession of this mighty weapon. You have to be follish to stand up to someone of my caliber! Many Mandalorian bounty hunters sent to bring back my head, none returned. Just recently an army of republic soldiers were sent to destroy my base, two were spared. This is your last chance to stand down and let through to that ship! What do you say?"
TBC

Alex looked back for a moment before returning her gaze back toward the Sith lords. Now if it were only the younger one Alex might have a chance but the older one, Striken, she new she had little chance again. None the less however she wasnt going to back down. Save your breath Striken! The Jedi shouted back. Im not going to back down!

If only there where another way of the platform

Stricken's face contorted into an evil leer. "Fine." he replied slyly. Without further warning he lunged forward, lightsaber aiming for Alex's heart!

But it never reached!

There was a flash of light as a white beam caught the red one and coiled around it like a snake, stopping it from moving with a loud screech of energy! Stricken blinked in suprise, confused for a second.

Casira gave a sharp tug on her light whip, wrenching Stricken's saber clean from his hands and sending it flying into the air, the blades automatically de-activating as he lost his grip. It landed with a clatter on the other side of the landing platform.

Alex looked across at the Taidra, eyebrows raised in suprise. Casira met her gaze with a stare. "I don't know wether to believe you or not, but I trust you more than these two!" she muttered quickly.

Srticken's face had darkened to an evil glare. Quickly he jumped, performing a full flip and traveling the length of the pad in one move. He landed beside his saber and quickly retreaved it, activating it once again. He spun round and began to advance on them menacingly. "You're going to regret that!"

Conme's fighting spirit was awakened again. "Look inside yourself. You're confused, but I will show you the path to greatness. I will show you how to harness the true power of the force! I will show you how to ignore these false morals that the Jedi live by! If you so chooose tobe a Jedi, you can't love, can't be happy, can't be strong! If you choose to go with them, they will own you and your soul! Your free will! Join us and love, happiness, peace, strength, wisdom will be yours! You will be a free being. Do you understand now?"

Conme looked in her eyes, and he saw pain. War. Hatred. She was leaning to the Sith already, or so he thought. Maybe he was mistaken. As he looked deeper in her eyes, he saw something else. Something inside. A baby perhaps. This was his opportunity.

"Your babay Casira! What about your unborn baby?! If you join us, it will be safe with you! If you join the Jedi, they will take it and send it off somewhere. They won't let you have emottonal etatchments. But it won't matter with us. He will be safe! Think about it Casira!"

She went numb with shock, staggering backwards slightly as her legs momentarilly weakened. How...did he...know...?

Her mind was spinning. What the Sith was saying was true...emotion and the force could be mixed. That was how the Taidra society had worked. Every one of their race had been in tune with the force. It seemed to be a gift they had. Naturally emotions had to be kept under control, but they had their place. How would a society survive if there was no love to instigate continuation of the spiecies?

Did the Jedi banish their emotions alltogether? It would lead to focus, but without emotions, how could a being be truly alive? What about the danger of complacence, not caring about others and so not fighting for them?

And yet she still could not banish the nagging doubt at the back of her mind...the feeling that there was something...wrong...with these Sith, something sinister...

And on top of it all, what Conme had said had once again awakened her memories.

She remembered the shadows in the sky, spaceships so big they were clearly visable in orbit...

She remembered the invasion, millions and millions of troops, overwhelming their own forces by sheer weight of numbers...

She remembered her father as he took her to the launch bay, defending her from the attacks..."You are our only hope...you must escape and continue our legacy!"

She remembered looking back as her fighter's engines built for hyperspace, seeing the Dreadnought fire, the planet begin to crumble from the blast...

She closed her eyes and collapsed on the floor, head in her hands. It had been nearly six months, but she remembered it like yesterday!

And that legacy, those four small creatures inside her, relying on her to keep them safe and alive...her entire race, now completely extinct save for her and her cargo, relying on her to keep their spirit alive...

She couldn't cope with the responsibillity! She was so young...she had gone through so much...!

"What do I do..." the thought out loud between the tears. "What do I do...???"

(OOC note: Taidra have a considerably longer gestation period than Humans, so Casira doesn't yet look pregnant, despite it being six months. It's true that the others, like Conme, would be able to sence it if they noticed it though.)

"The Jedi lead everyone to think that they are good. Defenders of light banishers of darkness," Striken told the confused creature, "They are born into deception, bur us Sith see through that lie. They use their knights to their own advantage. The Sith believe in galactic peace, but we cannot achieve that with those damned jedi in the way all the time."
Striken looked down at his all powerful lightsaber, "This is the weapon of a true sith! With it you can claim title of Sith Lord and reshape the galaxy the way you want it to be. The Jedi doesn't let emotions run freely. They keep their emotions looked away never to see light. I sthat anyway to live?" Striken sighed, "I used to be on the Jedi Council, I was trusted by all those inferior. I was a Jedi Master, but then I learned of the lies they forced into my mind. I realized that all the memories of my mother and father were fake! My real parents were Jedi Outcasts, the council took me away from them. I will never forguve them for that! You don't want something similar to happen to you. The Jedi will lead you down a loveless/hateless path of lies! Complete your Sith training, and this powerful lightsaber could be yours! A great honor throughout the sith. Many of my emotions reside around it! This blade was once was in the possession of my grand father who I loved dearly. He was also kept secret from me! Can you really say the Jedi are the good ones when they act like that! They can replace olden memories with false ones just to get you to work with them!"
TBC

As Conme watched the being with care and caution, so to make sure that she didn't pull a fast one on him, he felt the scars on his body throb and sting, and as they did, he remembered how he got those scars.

He was 14. He was having a nice lunch with his family on Naboo. Then THEY came. The Jedi. They raided the palace. They killed everyone. Not just the men, but the women and the children too. His parents, his sister, his niece. All dead He could have been next. But one of the Jedi was shot down by a guard, and his lightsaber was left at Conme's disposal. He grabbed it and killed them all, except one. That survivorwas going to tell him the reason for this. It turns out, they were looking for a corrupt senator who was hiding out on the planet. Unfortunately, for everyone, that senator wasn't from Naboo, and wasn't hiding there. After he knew what he needed to, he killed the Jedi. He later covered up all his friend's bodies with decorative blankets. He then took his family's bodies and burned them, each on a different bed, inside the palace. He bandaged up all his cuts and gashes and let them heal afterwards. After that, he took the Jedi's lightsabers and put them all in a pack, along with clothes, food, and other various supplies. He would leave on a journey. To find power. To find vengeance.

Conme snapped back to reality. "So what'll it be? The emotionless, non-loving Jedi, or the Sith, with whom you can keep your children and be happy? The choice is yours! Make it now!"

OOC:Now you got to see a little bit of Conme's past. As you might have guessed, he's a very sad person, and now you know why he is a Sith. Vengeance. He will not stop until he becomes a Sith Lord and defeats all the Jedi. But he knows he can't do it alone.

Casira had regained herself somewhat by now, and had stood up again on her lionlike paws. Her eyes were closed, and her head was down.

"All I want..." she murmured "...is a safe place to continue my kind, free from danger and trouble. That's my mission." She let out a long sigh and her eyes flicked open, regarding the two Sith. "I was the only one who survived the destruction of my planet. My father gave his life protecting me and my cubs, hoping that we could escape and find a new planet to settle...to start our race anew. Not even my mate survived the attack."

She looked across at the Jedi woman, who for the moment seemed speechless at the events around her. Her mind was torn...it was true that she trusted the two men less than she trusted her, but if these Sith were correct, then her mission, to continue her species, could be seriously endangered by these Jedi! Either way she would have to be on her guard, prepared for anything...

The safety of her cubs was the only thing that mattered, and she had to choose the option that seemed best in that regard...

"I'll join you." she replied quietly. The two Sith slowly began to grin, glancing at each other in victory. "On one condition." Casira continued. Their grins froze on their faces, unsure of what was coming.

She pointed to Alex slowly. "Let her go." she murmured. "It may be these Jedi are as bad as you say, but I have yet to see her perform a bad act. She deserves to live...at least for now."

Alex went wide eyed. No She muttered silently under her breath, and quickly backed away from Casira as well as the 2 Sith blocking the stair way down. Alex had failed her mission and worse, she allowed the Sith to gain a powerful ally. Im sorry, But I cannot allow you to join them the consequences of such an alliance could greatly jeopardize the peace we Jedi have fought so hard to protect. She paused for a moment and glared at Striken. She then charged in on him...

IC:
Lily opened her eyes again and listened in slight shock to the things going on.
"Don't listen to everything they say!" she cried over the ever growing distance.
"Did they tell you that they frequently kill each other to go up in the ranks! Even if your children did survive, they'd eventually be killed by someone more powerful wanting to gain more power!" She looked Casira in the eyes and tried to plead with her.
"I think you need to think things over first, right now, this is the ultimate pressure situation. The best thing would be to get out of here and seriously think things over, and let her (she pointed to Alex charging) or someone else tell their side of the story."
She considered her options and steadied herself, or tried to on the mobile craft.
She gave a little run and then leapt for the edge of the platform.
She timed things quickly and leapt from the ship landing on another vehicle then she jumped again onto a spike ontop of a building then finally flung herself with great force to the edge. But the two other force manouvers she'd performed had taxed her a little, so she only managed to grab onto the edge.
Annoyed by her lack of endurance she started scrambling up to safety.

"You are a fool!" Striken hissed as he easily dodged Alex's assault, "The Jedi has filled your heads with lies! Trust me I used to be on the council!"
Striken Swung his lightsaber blades out to intercept another attack from Alex. Their lightsabers clashed and Chonai used that to his advantage. He pushed on his lightsaber giving him momentum to lunge him self into the air! He landed softly in front of the craft leaving Alex unharmed.
"Isn't that proof enough? She attacked me without reason! I'm going to let her live, but she decided my life was to be cut short. Can you not see the fury of the Jedi? Come with me, and I'll accept you as my apprentice. I will assure that your family tree is moved forward. No one is foolish enough to stand up to me!" he glanced over at Alex, "Well appart from her of course. Take it from me the Jedi gave me a fasle life, false memories. Hell I don't even know if my name isn't false as well. Can't you see through their peace loving shell. They're heartless. I'm still ashamed to have ever been part of them. Don't let them rule you!"
TBC

Conme did a double frontflip and landed in front of Casira and next to Striken.

"Let me tell you all about my past. I was 14. I was having a nice lunch with my family on Naboo. Then THEY came. The Jedi. They raided the palace. They killed everyone. Not just the men, but the women and the children too. My parents, my sister, my niece. All dead. I could have been next. But one of the Jedi was shot down by a guard, and his lightsaber was left at my disposal. I grabbed it and killed them all, except one. That survivor was going to tell me the reason for this. It turns out, they were looking for a corrupt senator who was hiding out on the planet. Unfortunately, for everyone, that senator wasn't from Naboo, and wasn't hiding there. After I knew what he needed to, I killed the Jedi. I later covered up all my friend's bodies with decorative blankets. I then took my family's bodies and burned them, each on a different bed, inside the palace. He bandaged up all my cuts and gashes and let them heal afterwards. After that, I took the Jedi's lightsabers and put them all in a pack, along with clothes, food, and other supplies."

"They committed crime, and murder, all for nothing. Thanks to me, they didn't get away with it. So is that proof enough for you?! The senseless killing of others to find a person who was never there to begin with?! I doubt there's anything you Jedi can say to that, and if so, I'd like to hear it. Until then, stay away from her and her babies, understand?

Alex sighed, lowering her guard only slightly. This other Sith was a foolish one. You should look in the mirror to see who the murderers are. Sound more like a Siths doing then anything. We Jedi dont go killing innocents. let alone younglings. And I highly doubt those who attacked the palace were even Jedi. Then paused and glanced at Striken. Hes the real monster here. She added pointing at the Sith lord with her lightsabre, before letting the blade fizzle out.

Alex then looked back at Conme with a saddened look. You have been deceived by the dark side of the force, believing in a lie and using it to turn your gift into a tool of hatred and rage. Alex then placed the sabre back onto her belt, before turning her attention to Casira. If you do so choose to ally yourself with evil, then I truly fear for your Childrens lives, they will no doubt become tainted by greed and hatred. Alex took in a sharp breath and glared at Striken once more.

As far as Striken goes, yes it is true. He was once a Master Jedi who sat on the council. This fact sickens me greatly most of all. When he turned on us he took out many of our students many of them my friends. Though he may call as cold heartless monsters, his hands are the ones stained with blood. It is sad that you choose to blindly ally your self with this snack Alex then slowly made her way toward the stair case. There was nothing more to do hear, and though she was loathed to leave she knew she wouldnt stand a chance if she tried to fight. Hopefully the Sith would continue with their ruse long enough for her to get to safety...

IC:
Scrambling back up onto the platform she arued back with the sith lord, though she felt defenseless without her lightsaber even out she carried on anyway.
"The jedi have not taught me that much, very little in fact. I am a rogue jedi! So I'm speaking of what I've seen and believe, there are other ways of solving this problem, but I do think this is a bit of a forced decision if you get my meaning."
She gestured to the two sith and the one jedi.
"If it had been under different circumstances, then maybe your decision would be different, either way, I think you should think more on this, but I'm not on either side really, I'm just on the side where you fight for the good things like helping people, and being alive in a way that insn't as restricted as the Jedi, but not as corrupted as the Sith."
She took a breathe and looked pleedingly at Casira.
"Please, don't join anyone yet, just get out of here and think on it. If you need time to escape, then." She paused before continuing.
"I will try and hold them for as long as I am able."

Casira de-activated her light whip and replaced it in it's holster on her armour. This situation was so complicated! She knew she would have to be on her guard, whichever path she picked.

But she had alreay made her decision. A life without emotion was wrong, and if the Jedi taught that, they could, as Conme had said, be a threat to her children.

"Please, don't join anyone yet, just get out of here and think on it. If you need time to escape, then...I will try and hold them for as long as I am able." Casira shook her head slowly.

"Leave while you can." she replid quietly. "I have no choice...I have to do this."

Conme watches Waler crash the bike into the platform, him jumping off, and the bike scaping the groung and going over the edge. He felt something. Republic Security Force.

"Striken, we have to go! Republic Security is coming!"
With that, he jumped off the edge, on to his ship on the platform below. He yells up, "LET'S GO!" He jumps in his ship and starts it up.

"Come on Casira it's now or never!" Striken hurried toward the ship as Waller boarded ahead of him.

"I have my own transport." replied the alien. As she spoke a shadow appeared behind her in the distance, from behind one of the tall towers. Her ship, still in contact with her, was coming.

The ship roared towards the landing platform at speed, arcing in low and almost scraping the surface of the platform! Casira didn't look behind...she felt the ship's siluhette as it roared closer.

She bent down, tensing her body against the metal floor, then with a deft leap she launched herself high into the air, performing a backflip as the black fighter swooped in underneath her. She had timed the jump perfectly, and landed neatly in the cocpit as the ship flashed past. The two Jedi stood on the platform staggered as the shockwave from the passing ship hit them.

Casira quickly closed the cotpit and the ship arced upward into the sky. The cocpit was plain, bare of any controls save for two large hexagonal pads, made of some black polymer-like substance, placed at the front on either side. Casira reached out, placing one hand on each pad, and the surface appeared to melt around her fingers, allowing her hands to sink into the pads slightly.

Instantly her vision dissapeared, replaced with a full 360 degree view of everything outside the ship. She didn't have to turn her head to see it...her mind was tapped directly into the ship's systems, and she could see everything right before her eyes. It would have disoriented anyone not used to it, but Casira had had experience.

And it was some experience! It wasn't just visual sensors that were interlinked to her nervous system...every system on the ship was wired directly to her brain! She could feel the rush of wind against her face as the ship raced across the sky, smell the acrid smoke from the mass of pollution in the air...

Below she saw the other ship slowly rising into the air. She concentrated her thoughts on it, activating the fighter's radio.

"Where are we going? What course do I set?"

Conme intercepts the incoming transmission and sends her the coordinates. "First we must go to Raxxus Prime. My master has just finished a mission there. We must pick him up."
With that he closed the communications link and contacts his master, Darth Maul. "My lord, I've gone above and beyond your request. I didn't follow your instructions. She is one of us now instead."

"Conme, you have truly proven yourself. Maybe I shouldn't call you Conme anymore. Darth Sorrow would be more appropriate."

"Thank you my lord. We're coming to pick you up right now" He closed the communications and thought to himself.

What an honor. He finally acheived the rank of Sith Lord. He was swelling with pride and knew he had proven himself. He would finally be respected. Now he could take on an apprentice, which brought up a conversation with Striken.

"Striken. You already have an apprentice. Maybe it would be wiser if I toguht her how to harness the dark side of the . You should be rather busy with Waller, and now that I'm a lord, I can take on an apprentice. What do you think?"

OOC: Does Striken have a Sith Lord name?

"If you could consider Waller my apprentice. For the most part he is friend. Yes I'm teaching him the ways of the Dark Side, but he could easily handle himself." Strken stroked his chin.
Then another idea came into his mind, "Why not train her together. The Jedi council has trained Jedi with more than one master before. Even so we are not Jedi there should be no limits on apprenticeship," Strken paused for a brief moment, "She has great poteintal in her it would be best and probally more safe if we train her together. What do you say?"
Waller was busy sitting at the worktable tampering with his new prototype lightsaber. He placed the last focusing crystal into the hilt. Even so he wasn't finished he still had to adjust the blade(s). It would prove remarkable.
TBC

Conme let's outa sigh and says "I suppose you're right. A partnership would be wise. I may not be able to handle her power on my own, but with both of us together, it should be easier. After all, I'm barely a Sith Lord."

He had a flashback about what just happened on the platform. The Jedi said that his past wasn't the truth. That the Jedi didn't do what he had claimed. She was right, in a way. It wasn't a Sith or a Jedi. It was-

A beep came from the control board on the ship. They were at Raxxus Prime already. A desolate wasteland of wreck and war-torn debris. During this time of day, there is a haze of orange that gently covers the depressing memories of something caused by fear and paranoia.

The ship was landed and he exited to see the fledgling waiting at the bottom of the ramp ot the ship. He approached his tattooed master, Darth Maul, who was waiting for him in a dusty plain. "You made it, Darth Sorrow." He looks at the fledgling and back at Conme. "Is this her?Is this the one?"

"Yes my lord. We saved her from two wretched Jedi. I promised her a safe place to live and raise her children."

OOC: Okay, I was thinking about this all last night. How come Conme is labeled the immature, inexperienced one? I mean, come on! A little respect here people? I mean, I had someone join the Sith!I can't be that young and stupid, can I?

((OOC: technically it was all Striken'd doing ))

Alex closed her eyes and shook here head in disapointment. When she saw the young rogue try to speak up once more and run after the trabeler The Jedi quickly placed a hand on the young girls shoulder. "Leave it be... She has made her desicion." Alex spoke, her words filled with a bit of sadness.

((OOC: At least now Conme's a Sith LORD.I think I'll let you Jedi take over for a little while. This would be a good opportunity to give you guys a chance with your side. I've kinda taken over, and I want it to be equal. This is also a good opportunity for people to join. Either side, because after whatever you guys decide to do, my party will be going to the Sith Temple on Thule. I figure now would be a good time for your party to go to the Jedi Temple. Just a thought.))

OOC:To get back to your previous question SS70, yes. Chonai Striken does have a sith name but he refuses to use it. Kinda like how Darth Sidious chose not to use his sith name during the Galactic Civil War. His Sith name, however, is a secret to everyone. Only he and his Sith master know, and his master is dead. I overlooked the question earlier by mistake and just now caught it so sorry if I didn't answer right away.
Just a short IC for now.

IC:
Striken was aware of their landing, but the day had dragged on and made him very tiresome. He decided to get some rest in the back hatch.

"You lied to me!" Striken hissed at the councilleader.
"It was for the best! we didn't want you to know that your parents were Jedi outcasts," the leader pleaded, "They broke the code and had a child together. We had to let them go and raise you."
"You Jedi Bastards! All of my memories are fake! You put them in my head!"
"Listen Choani, we didn't want you traveling down that dark path! So we raised you up and replaced your thoughts with that of a loving family. It was to protect you!"
"YOU WILL ALL PAY!"
Striken let out a blast of FORCE ENERGY destroying the West Wall.
"Chonai stop please stop, don't!"

The evnts played out in Striken's dreams as if they were happening all over again. He shifted with anger and hate in his sleep. He was certain that the Jedi will get what they recieve!

(OOC: Wow, that bit moved fast! lol

I assume Maul is an NPC...? If not let me know and I'll edit it.

WARNING: Long Post!)

Casira's fighter flashed into normal space above the planet...Raxxus Prime, Conme had called it. She surveyed it as she lowered the ship down through the atmosphere...a desert planet, ravaged by war. Something major had happened here some time ago...

The co-ordinates were in a vast plain, littered with the rusting remains of veichles, some of them very large! She slowly guided the ship down to the surface, smelling the mustyness of the atmosphere as she did so. It was quite hot, a thoroughly detestable planet as far as she was concerned. Her home planet of Rathoth had been a green paradice!

She mentally pulled back, disconnecting from her ship. The hatch opened and she hopped out onto the dusty surface.

Her fighter had been considerably faster than the Sith's transport, and she took the opertunity to scout round the area. She could feel something...what it was she couldn't quite put her finger on, but it felt close.

She had the sneaking suspicion she was being watched...

Her thoughts were broken by the sound of the large transport dropping in to land. As it implanted itself on the surface she approached, waiting for the passengers to disembark.

FLASH she felt it, hidden before, a power so great it could conceal itself almost completely from her probing! But now, it's shields had dropped...and it was...right...behind...her...

She spun round, tensed for battle. Out of one of the larger pieces of wreakage scattered around the plain, a cloaked figure emerged, it's face completely obscured in shadow. It took a few steps forward, then stopped a few meters away, as though waiting for something...

Conme stepped down the ramp of the transport, flashing her a smile as he passed. He stepped up to the cloaked figure and they began to speak.

"You made it, Darth Sorrow. Is this her? Is this the one?"

"Yes my lord. We saved her from two wretched Jedi. I promised her a safe place to live and raise her children."

The cloaked figure stepped forward again, coming to within a meter of her. "A great day for the Sith." he murmured. "She has power indeed." Two gloved hands reached up, and in a swift movement the hood of the black cloak fell away.

Casira narrowed her eyes as she examined the figure's black and red face, the horns on his head, his strainge, somehow unnerving grin.

"Tell me, my child...have you experienced pain?"

Casira remained motionless, still tense, on guard. "Who hasn't?"

Maul nodded slowly. "A true answer." he mumbled quietly. "But your pain is dfferent...more powerful than the rest. I can feel it."

Casira could feel his mind, his thoughts, reaching out to her, taking hold, delving into her memory! She caught her breath and faught back, forcing him out.

Maul stepped backward slightly as he felt the resistance. "Come my child." he whispered. "I don't want to hurt you. I am your friend." He held his hand out to her, palm facing the sky. "I want to help you. I want to find your pain and make it go away."

She felt his mind again, more gently this time, more slowly. "Let me see." he drawled. "Let me view your pain."

She was a little scared. She was also more than a little angry! What right had he to pry into her memories, her life?

And yet, if this was the only way to protect her cubs...

This time she didn't resist. She opened her mind, allowing him to see...

...ships so big they were clearly visable in orbit! The invasion force...overwhelming them by sheer weight of numbers. The brutallity...women and children slaughtered without remorse! The relentnessness...no negotiation, no terms of surrender...

...the genoside of her entire family...her entire race...

She couldn't take it any more, she threw him out, blocking his link. Tears were welling in her eyes. She couldn't face those memories again!

Maul sighed long and hard. "I see." he murmured, nodding again. "Such pain...such horror...and for one so young..."

Casira hung her head, unable to stop the tears flowing.

"Such brutallity..." Maul continued. "A race like that doesn't deserve the life the universe has bestowed upon them." He stepped forward, right up to her, and put a hand on her shoulder. "I sympathize with your pain, Casira." he whispered, picking her name from her memory. "If there was anything I could do to make them see what they had done..." He paused, eyes fixed on her, burning into her like diamonds. "Maybe there is..." he muttered.

Casira slowly raised her head, meeting his stare. Her face registered confusion.

"Everyone needs a reason to fight." muttered Maul. "Maybe...maybe this could be yours!" He leaned closer to her. "They wiped out your entire race!" he whispered. "Your friends, your mother, your father, your mate...they deserve to be punished, Casira! They deserve death!"

Casira shook her head slowly. "But..."

"Think about it." interrupted the Sith in a persuasive tone. "They've commited such a crime...it's only justice to make them pay!" He raised his other hand, placing it on her other shoulder so that he was looking straight into her eyes. "Casira...I will help you in your cause. We all will. You made the right decision coming to us. We will help you show those fools justice, and then we will protect you as you begin your race anew, just as you were sent to do!"

He smiled slightly. "You have nothing to fear. We will look after you and your children." Their eyes locked a moment longer, then Maul turned and set off toward the wreakage that he had come from, pulling his hood over his head as he went. As he passed Conme he muttered something too quietly for Casira to hear: "Well done with your mission. She is ready to begin her training now."

Casira felt weak...as though she hadn't slept for a week! She didn't know what to think! Her mind was spinning, full of memories, thoughts, fears...

She took a deep breath. It would take her a while to sort through all the emotions!
