Private A Search for Knowledge of Old.......

[GreyJedi]

It had been a while since Galen had left Arken Rhau and Shavara. He had traveled to Devaron because he had found out there was an old Jedi temple that had been abandoned since about half way through the The Clone Wars. Certain part of it had been reduced to mere rubble while other parts were perfectly intact and livable. Galen had searched the land and the Temple itself and managed to find some motion censors. Galen of course wasted no time setting the censors about 75 years around the temple. This way anyone who entered around the temple in search for another or even animals indigenous to the planet. This would keep Galen as protected as possible.

Now Galen inside had felt something strange. He had been in this temple for roughly 4 days. He managed to find quarters that suited him and even found the training hall. Most of which was still intact. The class rooms, Masters meeting area and labs all had been destroyed. Galen had sat in his quarters in a meditative state when he felt something strange again. Galen had opened his eyes and looked around "A Holocron, It can't be!" Galen thought to himself. The Jedi Holocrons had all but been gone after the Jedi Purge after The Clone Wars. Galen had assumed that the Sith named Darth Vader had managed to sweep up all remaining Holocrons.

Galen had stood up and reached out with his hand. He closed his eyes and focused on where the strange pulsating force energy was coming from. Galen had reached out a bit more and focused a bit harder. Galen opened his eyes and managed to get a rough location where this Holocron was. Galen made his way out of the quarters and down the, pretty much, only intact corridor that had been filly open. He made it to the end of the corridor and reached a dead end. Both left and right had been collapsed and couldn't go down either way. Galen looked around and thought to himself. He closed his eyes again and reached out with his hand again. Up or Down? Galen reached out with the Force again and tried to get a more accurate location on said Holocron. DOWN. Galen opened his eyes and looked at the floor.

How was Galen supposed to get down there. Galen had looked around. Maybe outside? Galen had head back towards the Training hall and tot he door that had lead out to the courtyard, which of course was over grown. Galen had looked around and walked his way towards the back end of said Court Yard. He moved brush to the side and noticed a set of steps leading down. The doorway had crumbled to pieces, assuming either from age or had been broken into, and the stairs were dark. Galen took his lightsaber off his belt clip and ignited it. The orange hue had lit up the half of the stairwell. He entered the stairwell and moved slowly down the crumbling stairwell.

Galen finally made it to the bottom of the steps. The root systems, from the trees overhead, had managed to rip through the walls of the corridor, ceiling and floor. It was a mess to say the least. Galen looked around. The corridor had managed to bare left and go down again. Galen poked his head around the corner and then stepped out. The dark corridor had managed to continue on and so did Galen. Walking further, that light had managed to illuminate the hall further and further as he walked. Galen had reached another door. This door, what looked like an old Dura-steel door. Galen had looked down at the locking mechanism and noticed there was no power. Great.

Galen looked around and saw no way to connect the power back to the entry point. Galen reached out his hand and tried to open it with the force. No dice. It was too heavy. He thought to himself for a second and then shook his head. He stood, with his saber, at a lunging position and pushed the blade of his saber into the door. The crackle and sizzling of the metal had proceeded as the molten steel melted away. He moved the blade up and in a circular motion to open the door. About half way through, the door managed to open it self. Galen was slightly dumbfounded. He turned off his lightsaber blade and walked into the, what looked like, underground Lab.

The feeling had been stronger now. In this room. He knew it. He could feel it. Galen looked around and saw a generator. He walked over to it and managed to get it to turn on. The lights had turned on and Galen had turned around. It was exactly the same type of lab that was hidden under the Coruscant Temple. Hyper-sleep pods, Cloning stations, research stations and a vault. Galen rubbed his eyes and still couldn't believe it. What were the Jedi into? Galen didn't know what to think. He looked over and noticed a box. The box was locked. He walked over to it and that feeling, that feeling had managed to grow even stronger. He opened the box, or at least tried to, and it shocked him. Galen pulled his hand away quickly. "SLEEMO!" Galen yelled out. He ignited his lightsaber and cut the the box. Half of it had it the floor, the other half sat on the table. Inside was the Holocron. Galen just stared in awe.

The Holocron was a small box, encased in a golden exo-skeleton with a glowing blue crystal like object in the middle. Galen picked it up and the feeling of power had surged through his finger tips. It was a feeling Galen hadn't felt, well, ever. He looked around and saw a meditation mat. Galen had walked over to it and sat down. Crossing his legs, he placed the Holocron on the floor in front of him and closed his eyes. Reaching out with the force the Holocron had lifted up off the ground. It spun and then opened up. The crystal had become visible and began to shine brightly. Galen had gasped and instantly he was transported to 3951BBY.

MALACHOR V: SITH TEMPLE~~~[/COLOR]


Galen had woken up on the ground. The icy ground of what looked like a court yard of what looked like a Jedi, no wait, Sith Temple. Galen had reached for his lightsaber but, alas, it was not there. Galen had heard, behind him, what sounded like a stampede. Banthas? No, Galen turned around to see a sea of Lightsabers, blue, green, yellow, orange and purple, running towards him, screaming. Galen was astounded. They got closer and closer and then he heard another set of rumbling behind him again. He turned around again and saw a sea of Red lightsabers hurdling towards him. Galen had no where to go. He just stood frozen. As they got closer, the ground below him rumbled heavier. Then with out warning, Lightsabers had been flung through him, clashing together. 

Galen was not effected. How? How is this possible? How was he not cut into pieces? Galen just watched as Sith Lords cut through the Jedi as if they were younglings. Galen just watched in awe. One by one the Jedi fell. Sith winning. Some Sith of course fell but this was a massacre. Galen turned and looked over to the Sith Temple. He started to walk and made his way through all the Sith, as if he wasn't even there. Walking closer and closer to the temple Jedi still continued to call. Then it happened. A Blast. 

The Sith Temple had lit up. a LARGE [URL='https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/7/70/Sith-Temple-Super-Weapon.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170410234857']blast[/URL] emitted from the temple and killed every one on the battle field. All Sith and Jedi had literally turned to [URL='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/ky95cYMEO2CL95ie3LXfbyCfANCq-6mmFwX1pQOFuWPVi1Qq_j3lIutDcAqgjCw5nlz2qEAs2XyfXAt4GNLzn6G07vha1tBsOhQqNUPkopRbZeaXF8_BcZhAjzwhvy3004O1SFEP_W98DJKe']stone[/URL]. Jedi and Sith a like stood in the place they were previously, rock hard. Galen started to run towards the Sith Temple and just like that...........



~~~Devaron Jedi Temple

Galen opened his eyes and he noticed he had been brought back into the Lab under the temple on Devaron. What was the Holocron trying to show him. Galen had no idea. He grabbed the Holocron and inspected it. What was that Battle!? Galen had to do some research on what he was just shown........


TBC​

 

[GreyJedi]

Galen had made his way back up to his quarters and sat down. He had been baffled at what he saw. Jedi and Sith battling it out at some Sith temple. He had no idea what time period that was but he knew it wasn't any time he knew about. Galen shook his head and looked at the Jedi Holocron. Could the information have been saved on the Holocron or did it trigger something with in Galen? he hadn't a clue. Galen knew though he needed to head to someplace that had the holo-net to do some research on what he had discovered. Would it be on there? Who knew! Only trying would give him that answer. Also, Why, with in the Jedi Temples, well the two he knew of, was there a Cloning Lab?

Galen had to find answers. Maybe Shavara would have answers being as her people were connected to the Force forever. Who knew. Galen hadn't seen her in well over a month. Arken, well, getting a hold of him was impossible. He would just appear. Galen needed answers. He knew that all the Jedi he was associated with 800 years prior were all dead and gone. So how was he going to get this information? He didn't know. The knowledge that he was trying to seek out was probably lost.

With the Holocron in hand, Galen placed it on the ground on front of him. he had closed his eyes again and started to meditate again. Instantly he was brought back to where he was walking an hour prior.


~~~Malachor V - Sith Temple~~~


Galen had opened his eyes again and there he was, back, back at that Sith Temple. The Sith and Jedi, again, were stone. he game back where he left off after the blast. Galen looked over to the temple and started to make his way over. The ground felt like glass. The blast that had turned every one to stone had turned the sand on the ground into glass. Was the blast that Hot? It didn't seem like fire. It was more of a force blast. But, again, Galen was not there. Not physically any way.

Galen reached the steps of the Sith Temple. Bodies were frozen there, solid, statues of their former selves. Galen started his way up the temple steps. looking around. The higher he got onto the steps, the further across the desolate, statue riddled, waste land he could see. The steps seemed to take forever to get up and the top seemed miles away. Galen continued on. Suddenly a voice could be heard echoing through out the temple steps where he stood

"TURN BACK JEDI! THE ANSWERS YOU SEEK ARE NOT HERE! THE ANSWERS YOU SEEK ARE ONLY WITH IN THE DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE!"

Galen stopped dead in his tracks. That voice. That voice sounded familiar. Eerily familiar. Galen then proceeded on. He made his way up to the top, finally. The entrance to the temple was open. Usually to open these places a Master and an Apprentice had to do it together. Galen reached again for his lightsaber but again, nothing. Galen was just slightly confused. Oh Well. He made his way into the temple. The feeling in there was deep, dark, heavy. Galen didn't like it. Granted, yes, Galen was considered, well now a days anyway, a Grey Jedi. Balanced with in the Light and Dark but something about this place felt extremely.....EVIL.

Walking further into the temple from the main corridor, He entered what looked like a HUGE room. In the center of the room was a massive obelisk. Surrounding the area of the obelisk was a deep chasm. How the hell was any one ever able to get over this? No Walk way?! Was a Master and an Apprentice supposed to throw each other over this? Galen walked to the edge. Then again that voice.

"LEAVE THIS PLACE JEDI! LEAVE!"

Again, familiarity. Who was it talking to him. Galen looked across at the obelisk again. He then looked up. No way he could get across there. Wait, or could he? What the hell. Galen closed his eyes and took a step off the cliff. He opened his eyes and well, to his dismay, he stood over literally nothing. Galen had continued to take small steps, getting closer and closer to the center. Galen looked around as he walked. he had never come across a temple like this. Hell, he never even seen a temple like this.

Galen had known that the Sith were rare. he knew about what they called THE RULE OF TWO and he knew that during before the Clone Wars a Jedi by the name of Qui-Gon Jinn had been bested by a Sith Lord. No one knew if he was the master or the apprentice. Galen was sure though, this time period, that the RULE OF TWO had been shot to hell. He already came across Arken Rhau, a Sith, Do'Tala, a Sith Twi'Lek and sensed various other Sith around. Was this Holocron telling him that this Jedi massacre was going to happen for a third time? Was the Jedi Purge after the Clone Wars technically the second one? Galen now had even more questions to look for answers to!

Galen had made it to the center where the obelisk had stood. it had been cracked and broken, Two bodies had been imprinted into the ground, as if they were fighting one another. This must be where that blast had come from. The originating sector. He looked around. The obelisk had a split down the center of it and a place to store something. Maybe a Holocron? Sith Holocron? Did Sith have them? Again, Galen had no idea. This essentially was a quest for knowledge. A quest to learn about the past of the Jedi and Sith. To learn how to balance himself better and how to redevelop the Jedi order with out making the same mistakes previous Jedi had make.

Galen had come from one side of the obelisk to another when he was stopped dead in his tracks. A man, cloaked in tattered robes stood before him. He could not see the face or hands but he saw the glowing of the eyes.

"Who are you? How are you here!?" Galen had stared intently.

"Do you not recognize my voice JEDI!?" The voice had bolstered.

"I do, but Everyone I know is dead. Everyone I know died years ago" Galen explained. The voice was deep and almost cold. He knew who it sounded like, but it couldn't of been.

"Foolish Jedi, of course they are all dead! I am not even who I am appearing to be. I am a Force adaptation of the one Master you were always more connected with!" The figure pulled the cloak up off his head and Galen had been drawn back, shocked. Master Mace Windu had been standing before him. How in the bantha poodoo was this possible!?

"Master Windu!? How!? How are you here as Mace?" Galen was flabbergasted.

"I am what you want me to be. Who you long for! You long to see your old Masters, Of course, would you prefer....." The figure had slowly morphed and shrunk and in the middle of speaking, his words had become twisted...." to see other master you miss. Master Yoda perhaps? Hmm? Miss him you do! Sense the anger of not being able to help him, Yes, Hmm?" The Evil looking Master Yoda had spoken. Galen was just lost. Then the figure had morphed back into Mace Windu.

"What are you then?" Galen had asked.

"I am THE FORCE Jedi! I am EVERYTHING! I come to you as this form because of where you are. Granted Mace Windu perished years after the clone wars ((BECAUSE I BELIEVE MACE WINDU SURVIVED AFTER HIS BATTLE WITH SIDIOUS! SO HA! LOL)) in exile just as Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi did. This way i appear to you is because you stand in a Sith Temple. I appear to you as if I am the Sith version of who you know." Galen had cut him off

"Then why appear to me after telling me, assuming that was you, that the answers I seek are not with in this temple?" Galen was curious

"Because, Jedi, the answers you seek are in fact NOT with in this temple. Most of the answers you seek are with in the Jedi Temple in which you reside. In which you have taken over to be your own place. The New Jedi order perhaps!? Yoda did task you with recreating the Jedi Order of its former glory before The Great Jedi Purge after the Clone Wars. See, What you are witnessing here today is known as the very first GREAT JEDI PURGE. The Sith had run rampant over the Jedi here. This was the final battle! Sith overcame and won. Of coure years later the Jedi would wipe out the Sith and leaving very few. I digress though, the topic at hand, the information you seek. The knowledge you seek, lays with in the temple where you are! Search! Dig deep!"

And with that again, Galen Paven had opened his eyes and had been back in his quarters on Devaron!

[GreyJedi]

DIG DEEP!? Where the hell was Galen going to dig deep? Was what he was looking for buried in the court yard of the temple? The mysterious cloning room under that looked exactly like the one on Coruscant? The questions had managed to spiral out of control with in him head. he sat there, still, silent, thinking, wondering and still nothing came to him. Why? Galen hadn't a clue. Did he get all that was needed out of this Holocron? Was there more stashed somewhere with in the crumbled ruins of this temple? Again, questions arose.

Galen got himself up and looked around. Somewhere on this property was the answer or answers he was trying to seek out. Somewhere. Galen had made his way out of his quarters and into the main hall of the temple. He looked around. He felt....Nothing. Now there wasn't a feeling at all. The force had lead him down to that Cloning Vault. Maybe that was the logical place to start. Galen had done an about face and headed back out of the Temple.

Eedit Temple was surrounded by a vast forest. The nearest town was approximately 100KM away from the temple. Galen had placed sensors about 75 to 100 yards around the temple to alert him of any incoming intruders. Galen made his way to the court yard and to the entrance to the Cloning Vault. After arriving back into the vault, Galen looked around, he felt nothing. Maybe a mediation session in here? Maybe a way to clear his mind? Something had to give. Looking around cautiously, galen still felt nothing. All Clone tubes had been empty and shut down, all Holo-net Terminals had been shut down, there was essentially NO POWER in this underground lab. Did it have its own power supply? The rest of the temple seemed to be able to have power but this, this did not. it must of had it's own power.

Getting a little further with in the vault, he noticed a few breakers had been missing from the power box. Did this surprise Galen? No. Not in the slightest. Where would he get breakers on Devaron? No idea. These old Temples usually had some sort of hangar bay with mechanical supplies. Maybe Galen would find one in there. Then again, he hadn't seen a hangar at all. Was it destroyed? This search started to bring forth way more questions then answers. Galen started to make his way towards the entrance of the vault when he noticed something. it was a thick piece of something.

Galen walked up to the slab and placed his hand on it. It was cold. A small hum had come from it as well. Why did Galen NOT sense this? It had it's own power supply and what seemed like a life support system? Galen shook his head. If he had not sensed it then, ya know what? it was not worth his time. Galen walked back out of the vault and back up to the court yard. Where would that maintenance bay be? Galen had looked and noticed most of the entrances of the Temple that lead all over were crumbled and inaccessible. Galen shook his head yet again.


~~~Later that Night~~~


Galen had closed his eyes for the night. He had searched high and low for the maintenance bay and found nothing. Why was it going to be so hard to find a break or two to get that vault up and running? Galen did not know. As he slept Galen started to dream. The dream felt so real and so vivid just the his vision when meditating through the Holocron.

"Anakin! Drop!" The tunic dressed man yelled as he whipped out a Green Lightsaber. The young man had fallen to the ground immediately after the older man spoke. Behind the young man was a Black cloaked figure on a small speeder bike. He jumped off and attacked the Jedi with a single edge red lightsaber. His face was not visible nor was anything else. They both fought vigorously. The young man had ran to a star ship. Nubian? Galen had not seen one of those since The Clone Wars while on a mission on Naboo.

The fighting continued. The lightsabers clashed, the hooded figure fought quickly while the older gentleman struggled but kept up. The star ship had flown over head and the older Jedi jumped up into the hatch of the ship and away the ship went. What did this mean? Anakin? Who was Anakin? Who was the older Jedi? Again, more questions then answers.

Galen had awoken from his sleep in a sweat. Anakin? The only Anakin he knew was Anakin Skywalker. The very same Anakin who had fallen to the Dark Side and was apart of the second Jedi Purge. The attack....Wait? Could this have been a sign? Could the older Jedi be....No. it couldn't. Could this be another flash into what had happened? What brought Galen to be created? Galen had no idea. he sat up and wiped off his brow. Lost and confused Galen had now needed to make sense of the small tidbit of information given to him with in this vision.

[GreyJedi]

Galen wondered if that had been the Jedi who he was created from. He had gotten up and made his way over to the Holo-net terminal. He had managed to find some information about Jedi Masters that had been stationed at the temple on Coruscant. Many of the record that had appeared were of Jedi long past. Hell, by now, all Jedi were long past from that era but these, these were Jedi that had died prior to the Clone Wars, prior to any big problem. Galen skimmed through and then there it was. The Jedi whose DNA had been used to create him, Qui-Gon Jinn.

The Holo-net file read: "Qui-Gon Jinn was a maverick of a Jedi. One of the most well respected Jedi. Jinn had been give a seat on the Jedi Council but had turned it down to following his own path, Qui-Gon was one to break the Jedi code if it lead to the right decision. He was head strong and very intelligent. Eventually He took on a Padawan named Obi-Wan Kenobi."

Galen had skipped through and skimmed for more prominent information. It spoke about his early life, Life as a Padawan and also missions he had accomplished. It spoke of his former Padawans and former Masters. Galen found all this information to be humdrum. it wasn't anything he was looking for. Then there was a word highlighted as such. it had no meaning but it was just highlighted. Galen pressed the screen and it opened another file.

This file had DECEASED along the photo of Qui-Gon Jinn. This might be what Galen was looking for. Galen scrolled down. with in the information. More humdrum stuff. Then it had reached The Siege of NABOO. Galen had read a bit more. The failed negotiations, The Trade Federation's lawful blockade and then there was mention of a Sith Lord attacking Master Jinn. Could this of been who he saw attack the Jedi in his vision? Why was he getting visions of the past!? Galen still was coming up with more questions then answers. Galen had looked at the image of the Sith Lord that had been captured from a Naboo Hanger security tape and he looked terrifying. The Species of Zabrak were terrifying in their own right. But this one, this one was especially out there.

Galen had read a bit further and then he found what he was looking for. Qui-Gon Jinn had succumbed to a stab wound around 32BBY. This lead to the training of Anakin Skywalker by Obi-Wan Kenobi. Galen read on and on. Finally it reached a small section on Project Illumination. Galen had clicked on his and it read ACCESS DENIED. Obviously the Holo-net credentials were set to ranking Jedi Masters. Galen had shook his head. This must of been the Jedi that was used to create Galen. It must of been.

Galen had gone back into his quarters and sat back on the floor. He got back into position and closed his eyes. he was going to try and something. Suddenly, it happened. He was there, watching as Master Jinn had been taken out by this Sith Lord Maul. It seemed to have moved along to Master Yoda giving Obi-Wan permission to train Anakin and then to the funeral of Master Qui-Gon Jinn. It had slowed down and Galen had felt what was like a gust of wind hitting him as he "slowed" down. The funeral had finished and Master Windu and Yoda had been talking in private.

"Understand, we must. Losing Qui-Gon, serious blow it was!" Yoda had spoke

"It certainly was Master Yoda. Qui-Gon Jinn will surely be missed. Unfortunately at the rate we are losing Jedi, the order will not survive. Something must be done!" Master Windu explained.

"Hmmm, Yes, Something done must be! Taken a sample of DNA have I, from Qui-Gon. Use it we can. Figure out way that can be done!" Yoda questioned.

"Yes, but how?" This was the million dollar question. Mace Windu had spoke about this briefly before a few more Jedi had left the burial grounds of the Coruscant Temple. Their robes draped over their bodies and as they all walked somberly, Losing a friend had always been tough.


~~~~SEVEN YEARS LATER~~~~

All of a sudden the vision had seemed to fast forward. Obi-Wan had taken Anakin, whom was now about 17 at the time, on a mission to settle a trade dispute. Then it fast forwarded again to Mace and Yoda speaking with a doctor of sorts. They had been in a chamber of sorts. Wait, Was this? It was! it was the secret lab under the temple on Coruscant. Galen could not make out what they were saying but the doctor looked awfully annoyed. He seemed very unhappy with results in one of the tubes. Galen had managed to look at the tube to see what looked like a human being, dead, or at lease he thought, floating motionless with in the tube. Galen couldn't get a better look at him because the vision would not allow him to get closer. Galen just watched. The doctor opened the tube and the body felt out and seemed to splatter on the ground. Galen was lost. Cloning!

Galen had opened his eyes and back with in the quarters he was. Prior to the Clone Wars the Jedi had dabbled in a cloning process for themselves. This was a few years prior to the clone wars so they had not yet met with the Kamonians.

[GreyJedi]

Galen had stood up from his meditation position and looked around. Cloning? Galen had already known he was a clone but he did not know that the Jedi had began cloning years prior to the Clone Wars. This means the Jedi had a basic idea of how to clone someone but it did not seem to be working. Mace Windu and Yoda had been discussing this with this doctor or whomever he was. The clone had not fully developed and that made the two masters disappointed.

Galen had made his way out of the quarters and out to the courtyard. He wanted to look around that hidden chamber and see if he could find anything of importance. He had still been confused trying to wrap his head around the fact that the Jedi had been trying to clone for years. He had heard about a Jedi, from Master Yoda, after he had been born, cloned, whatever you want to call it, named Syfo Dias. This Jedi had gone to Kaminoians to create a clone army with out the knowledge of the Jedi. Did he do this because he knew of the failure of the Jedi's own cloning? Galen had no idea as Master Yoda had also told him that not long after the Clone Army had been contracted to be created, Master Syfo Dias had been killed.

Galen's mind had a lot of speculation flowing through it. Galen had gotten to the entrance of the underground facility and made his way down the corridor. Galen made it into the facility and turned on the power. The lights flickered and buzzed to life engulfing the room fluorescent lighting. Galen had stopped a second and looked around, taking it all in, trying to envision the Masters of this Temple going over the process for cloning and failing. Time after time after time did this happen. The frustration and such that had to run through these Jedi's mind was unfathomable.

Galen had made his way over to the terminals to see if anything could be pulled up. he booted the terminal up and nothing happened. it just buzzed and the screen had stayed blank. Either the boot up sequence had been corrupt or whatever was used was wiped from the memory banks, This was the time Galen would need a droid. He hated them though! Why? Wasn't really sure why. He had been able to pretty much do everything a droid could do. Of course though, certain terminals, this is where a droid was needed. Galen had turned his head and saw those flashing lights again. He saw them the last time he was down here and completely ignored them. Now it was time to take a look.

Walking over to the flashing lights, Galen had inspected what it was. Carbonite? Why would there be a active slab here? Galen had grabbed the material that had been placed overt top of it and pulled it off. To his astonishment there was a full frozen figure with in the Carbonite. it wasn't just a empty shell like he figured. No, it was a full on person, Frozen. Galen had stepped back slightly in awe of the situation. How the hell long had this been here? Galen had been in a hyper-sleep chamber for over 800 years, Was this from the same time period? Could this of been another Jedi? A smuggler? Who? Galen didn't know. he looked at the panel on the side and pressed a couple buttons.

The Carbonite had started to do its thing. it started to crack and a light had been seen flowing through the cracks. Galen had positioned himself to catch who or whatever was going to flop out of it. He looked again at the stats board and the vitals were all normal. Galen had looked at the slab and it was just about done. Suddenly a body had flopped out. Galen had caught the body and laid it down on the dura-crete ground. Galen had looked over the person and had a feeling he knew who it was.

Galen had thrown the person over his shoulder and managed to get him into his own quarters. Galen had placed him down and looked over him again. Gearing Gurke. Galen shook his head. Galen knew he looked familiar. Of course Galen was going to need to get more information from meditating by the Holocron again.


TBC​

 

[GreyJedi]

Galen had once again finished up meditating with the Jedi Hologram. He had knew the young man that he had removed from the Hologram had been familiar but he just couldn't place it. The meditating didn't seem to help either. He walked over and into the other room, so to speak, where the young man had been unconscious. He stared for a second. Still nothing. Why? Why did this guy look familiar? Galen just couldn't place it. He walked back out of the other room and down the hall. He was baffled. He entered his own quarters and sat back down. Something had to come to light.

Galen had closed his eyes again. The level of concentration for this was going to need to be stellar. He took a deep breath and once again entered that state of nothingness. He seemed to float around in blackness. Nothing still. He had passed memories or learning about who he was and the Jedi Masters who sanctioned to have him created on Kamino. He past the Full on Clone Wars and even the events of the First Jedi Purge. There was nothing! WHY!? Galen was dumbfounded. He was starting to get angry and noticed the faded of the meditation memory. He took a deep breath again and continued on the path. The darkness of the meditation was becoming more and more frustrating.

The memories that had been passed were memories not of his own. Memories he was not present for but for some reason the force wanted him to see them. Wanted him to witness the ultimate decision of his own creation, but what or who was this?! Galen was still not finding anything. Galen just floated in his subconscious and thought. He had been taught about a technique where he could meditate while meditating. His subconscious self closed his eyes and took a few deep breathes. The blackness started to move a bit quicker. More memories that he remembered seem to start to flash by. Then suddenly it hit him GEARING GURKE!

"Introduce you, I will. Galen Pavan, meet Jedi Knight Gearing Gurke. Special he is. Like you!" Galen had remembered the day now that Jedi Master Yoda had introduce Gearing to him. Galen didn't get the special part until now. This very moment. Gearing Gurke was also a clone and was created as a Inquisitor for the Jedi. It was all coming back to Galen now. It was strange though how Gearing was not in any of the the files that Yoda had given him access to prior to hyper-sleep. Galen continued to watch the memories.

Gearing and Galen had trained together. They had saber training and meditation time together. When Galen had his first mission, Gearing was none to pleased. After that moment, Gearing had seemingly disappeared. What had happened to him? Galen had no idea. One minute training together, the next, Galen was getting missions and Gearing had vanished. Then it hit him. The clothing Gearing was wearing when he had been taken out of Hyper-sleep, TEMPLE GUARD. Gearing Gurke had been sent to Temple Guard training. Makes total sense now.

"Hello?! Is anyone there?! Hello!?" Galen was snapped out of his meditation by the yelling. Galen had opened his eyes and listened. "Hello? How did I get here? Hello?" Galen and stood up. Apparently Gearing was now awake. Galen had gotten up and made his way to where Gearing had been unconscious. He stood in the door way a second and then spoke.

"Gearing Gurke. Awake at least. How long were you in Carbonite??" Galen had asked

"I....I....I don't know! I also think I have carbonite sickness. I can't see a thing! Who is that speaking to me?" Galen had shook his head. Carbonite sickness. Of course. He had to have been in there just as long as he was in hyper-sleep. Galen walked closer to him and touched his hand.

"Ok. I am going to help you up. I will guide you to a chair and then have you take a seat. We both have a lot of explaining to do to each other." Galen had guided him to the chair after setting him up. Gearing had this scared but puzzled look upon his face. He had been in Carbonite freezing for over 800 years and was now blind. I'd be scared too. As Galen placed his hands on Gearing, to guide him to the chair, he sensed something..

"Master Anakin Skywalker had made his way up the main entrance of the Jedi Temple corridor on Coruscant. He had a legion of 501st troops behind him. He forced pushed a youngling off the corridor and off the edge. By then, Gearing knew something was wrong. His partner had ignited his lightsaber but before he knew it both of them had been forced pushed over the edge. Gearing managed to grab a hold of the edge and hang there as Skywalker and the 501st made their way into the temple. Gearing could hear the sound of Padawans, Master, Knights and Younglings being cut down." Galen had sensed all this. He was astounded. How could this have happened? Galen and placed his hand again on Gearing and continued to sense the memories. "After it was all said and done Gearing had gotten up and looked around. The bodies of the fallen had been scattered everywhere. Galen looked and saw a transport and made the mad dash. Before he could get there Asajj Ventress had appeared." Galen had continued to feel the memory. It had fast forwarded a bit now to Gearing being pushed into the Carbonite area by Ventress. Now Galen knew how he was frozen. Gearing had asked "How long have I been out of Carbonite?"

"I unfroze you a few days ago. You had been unconscious until now. I was unaware if you'd come out of it. Over 800 years in carbonite freezing is essentially a death sentence. Surviving that long is almost impossible. Do you remember much of anything prior to freezing? Who you trained with? Who you guarded? Anything?" Galen had asked.

"No! Nothing! Nothing before that and certainly nothing after that. It's all a blank. I don't even remember my fellow Jedi. .Those hours, those minutes. It's like it all was purposely erased. I can't remember anything." Gearing had explained. This means Gearing Gurke did not remember him. The training they endured together. Galen was lost as to why he could only remember the day of the attacks and not anything before. He had sat back and thought.

"I am wondering if that is part of the carbonite sickness. I am not very familiar with carbonite. I knew of it but wasn't too sure of its application. I am going to have to do a bit more research on it. But for now. We will need to work on you getting your sight back, IF you even can. So sit tight and I am going to do a little research. I need to figure out more about Carbonite." Galen had gotten up and placed his hand on Gearing shoulder. he had walked out of the quarters and headed down towards what was once the library. Galen had shook his head. What the hell was he going to do? Was he able to help Gearing? Galen had even more questions then answers about this whole experience he was going through. Between trying to figure out who/what He was to now trying to help Gearing remember his own self. Atleast Galen had the answer as to WHO this was. That was 1 out of a million questions that had been flowing through his head.

As Galen had started his research on carbonite, He was still dumbfounded. Gearing had been encased in the carbonite for 800 years. Hell, over 800 years! Galen just still couldn't fathom it. He turned on the holo-net and started to do a little research. Here and there carbonite had been used as an application of freezing but not so much for the living. Carbonite had been used to transport the dead or even the sick to keep them from spreading disease. NEVER to keep a person frozen for longer then than a few days let alone hundreds of years.

Galen had flipped through some of the articles on the subject when he sensed something. Galen had looked around but saw nothing then was pushed off the seat where he sat. The inquisitor had found him! Gearing was still in his quarters but for how long? Did the Inquisitor sense Gearing when he was removed from the carbonite? Did he sense what Galen had sensed when he touched Gearing? The questions flooded his head! Galen had gotten up and dusted himself off. He looked forward and the Inquisitor had stood there ominously.

"I told you the last time we had encountered each other that there was going to be no way you would escape me! I have you now and I will find the other one who is here too! I feel him! he is powerful! Almost as powerful as you!" The inquisitor spoke. His voice cracked with what seemed to be happiness but Galen knew that was going to be short lived.

"You keep dreaming Inquisitor! You know you cannot defeat me alone! Between Rik Vonden, the other Sith lord and you, None of you have been able to stop me! I will continue in my mission and I will defeat you!" Galen had yelled back

The inquisitor had shook his head and ignited that lightsaber. Galen had reached for his but it was not at his side. Galen was a bit nervous. He closed his eyes and reached out his hands and with out warning pushed the inquisitor against the adjacent wall. He bounced off and Galen looked around real quick. His lightsaber was no where to be found! Where the hell was it? He was almost positive that it was attached to his hip when he came down here and left Gearing in his quarters.

Galen had managed to run out of the library and headed back up to the quarters. Galen entered Gearings and he was gone. Where the hell did the blind fool go!? Galen didn't have time to go looking. He ran over to his own quarters and saw his lightsaber sitting there. Galen had grabbed it and made his way out and towards the dilapidated front entrance.

Making his way outside, Galen had looked around quickly to see if he could spot Gearing but couldn't. With out warning the Inquisitor had managed to yell his name.

"GALEN PAVEN!!!!" his voice boomed across that courtyard that was covered in over grown brush and trees "IT IS TIME TO FACE YOUR DOOM! I WILL END YOU ONCE AND FOR ALL! THE JEDI WILL CEASE TO EXIST!" The inquisitor rambled on. Galen just stood and listened to the inquisitor and the more he spoke, the more Galen had grasp his lightsaber tighter. Galen knew that something needed to be done.

"You have no idea what will happen to you! I will END YOU! The Sith are no match for the Jedi............" As Galen spoke Gearing Gurke had appeared behind Galen.

"You Inquisitor are no match for two Jedi!" Gearing stood fast behind Galen

"Two Jedi!? Twice the Triumph for the Sith!"

Just as the Inquisitor spoke, a huge loud whistle had been heard. All 3 men stopped and looked about. All three had locked eyes again and in that instant a flash of light had hit and all 3 men had been pushed as if the force did not want them together. A red beam had come down and the temple just imploded! Galen had been pushed hard against the lining wall of the court year, Gearing had landed on top of said wall.

The Inquisitor had disappeared. No where to be found. Did he disintegrate? What was this explosion? Where did it come from? It was unclear. Galen had slowly moved and rustled his own self up from the ground. He opened his eyes and saw nothing but rubble, fire and smoke. Galen had rubbed his eyes and looked around for Gearing. Galen had gotten up and headed towards Gearing

"We have got to get out of here. Something attacked the temple. Something, well, decimated the temple. It had to have been a ship, a MASSIVE ship. We need to make a get away and head to my secondary hide-out!"

Galen shook Gearing as he spoke. Gearing had coughed and listened to everything that Galen had spoke. He slowly sat up and sat on the wall. Gearing had looked around and was just lost. How did this happen? How was he going to get his memories.............Just then Gearing had felt something.

"The Inquisitor.....He is.....Dead. He is under the rubble. He, He, He was an android! He was being controlled like, like, The Battle droids!"

Gearing looked at Galen and they both had this dumbfounded look upon their faces. Another Droid Control ship!? Who was creating this? How did this Android have the skills and also powers of the Jedi and Sith!?

"What are you talking about!? An Android? Battle Droids? What!? How? How could this be possible!? I don't get it." Galen had been completely distraught it seemed. Was History repeating itself? Was there going to be another Droid Army? A More Humanistic Droid Army!? Galen had just shook his head. The things he went through during the Clone Wars was sometimes insufferable. Galen had been awake from his Hyper-sleep chamber for a few months now and sthe nightmares had finally dissipated. This, for sure, will bring them back!

"I don't know! All I Know Galen is that IF there is another Army being formed like in The Clone Wars then this society is going to be screwed! We need to get to the bottom of this. I just dont know how much help I can be not remembering much! I dont even know how I sensed the Android!......"Gearing had faced Galen and stared blankly......."How did you NOT sense the Android? How did your force sense not pick that up? Wait? How Do i remember force sense!?"

Gearing had placed his hands on his face. It was as if he was having a mental break down. Was all his knowledge of the force coming back? Did the explosion that pushed him towards the wall, and up and over it, knock his senses back? Gearing was not sure, and neither was Galen.

"I don't know Gearing but All I know is that we need to get out of here and head to my escape plan!" Galen spoke and checked his side for his Lightsaber. it was still attached. Galen looked at Gearing and his Lightsaber was also attached. He looked over to the rubble and knew for a fact that He was not going to be able to find his gear. Galen looked up and didn't even see a ship. Where the hell did that blast come from!? Galen had looked to his exit plan. "We need to go now Gearing. We need to get off this planet and get to my secondary hideout!"

Galen had grabbed Gearing and they both hobbled their way out of the temple courtyard and towards where Galen had stashed away his escape plan ship.

The ship was old. It was almost the same class of a Jedi Star Fighter but it had 2 seats. Gearing had been put into the Navigation seat and Galen, of course, was in the polit seat. They had been flying now for about 3 rotations. Gearing had been asleep as Galen had looked over the star charts. Where were they headed? Galen had an idea but wasn't even sure if the temple had still been on this particular planet. Vrogas Vas was a planet that was known to have no known life forms. During the Rebellion, Galen had read and the reason why he chose this location, there was a refueling station there.

Galen had placed the rest of the coordinates in the navi-computer and the ship did its recalculating adjustments and headed towards the planet. Galen had sat back and just looked out into the open space. Galen had a lot on his mind and now he had Gearing Gurke, blind nonetheless and memoryless, following behind. Did it bother Galen? No, absolutely not. He was happy to have a friend with him. Not to mention a friend from his own time period and also not to mention a Jedi.

Only issue now is that Gearing Gurke was a full fledge Jedi. Even if he didn't remember, He was. This put a bigger target on Galen's back as well as his own. Between Rik Vonden, Brass Turga, and the Twi'Lek Sith Do'Tala, they both had a hell of a crew coming after them. Hopefully this was going to be the last place Galen Paven needed to go. The Navi-computer beeped and the shit adjusted again. It was about time to come out of hyperspace and make its final approach to the planet Vrogas Vas.

As the ship approached the planet and into the atmosphere, Galen could see why there was no native species. The planet surface was barren. Brown and lifeless. Galen looked out the cockpit window and shook his head.

"Well, I can see why no one is a native species to this planet, thats for sure" Galen explained to himself. The ship had landed by some dilapidated Jedi statues. The cockpit had opened and Galen had been taken a bit. The air seemed stagnant and dead. Galen had hopped out of the cockpit and looked around. The statues literally crumbled before his very eyes. They had to have been just as old as he was, if not older. Galen walked up to one of the statues and touched it. The stone, it was carved from, was even drier then the air.

"Galen? Where are you?" Gearing had called out. Galen had headed back to the ship and jumped up on the wing.

"I am here. We have arrived on Vrogas Vas. There is an old Jedi Temple here, underground, A more secure temple then where we were." Galen explained.

"Did you say Vrogas Vas? Wasp-Worms Vrogas Vas? Those things are not pleasant!" Gearing had explained "They sworm you until you are unconscious and then leave secretions all over you and burn your skin and stain your clothing" Gearing explained more. He seemed to know all about Wasp Worms. Galen had looked at him.

"And you remember these things?" Galen was curious

"I guess.....I......do" Gearing Gurke was kind of thrown back himself but little by very little his memory had been starting to come back. Gearing had gotten out of the navigation seat and Galen helped him tot he surface. Galen got off the wing and lined Gearing up to walk straight. When they both got back to the statue where Galen was earlier Gearing had winced and fell to his knees

"No, This place. I can't be here. Galen, We can't be here. Something doesn't want us here. I can't be here Galen!" Gearing Gurke started to get up and back up away from the Statue.

"Gearing, what ever you're feeling is residual. Nothing is here. There hasn't been anything here since Vader. Vader has been long dead for 800 years! You are fine!"

"You don't get it Galen, I cannot be here! There is SOMETHING here. Something that doesn't want ME here. I feel as if I am being put back into Carbonite. I feel as if Its my end all over again! I just can't do this! I need to get off this planet." Gearing explained. Something was off about him. He had broken out into a cold sweat. Gearing Gurke took a deep breathe "I have been getting a vision anyway. A Vision of Yavin IV. Where the original Rebel base had been started. Something wants me there. Something that will help me understand HOW I can live blind and still be able to function as a Jedi. This planet is making that more clear to me that that is what needs to be done. For some reason, going to Yavin IV, I will learn the way to see 100 percent through the force and be able to see through it, act through it and live through it further then I did when I was able to see. I must go Galen." And with that, Gearing had backed into the ship. he climbed his way up onto the wing and then into the cockpit. The top closed and just like that, Galen was alone again.

Galen had decided to truck along. He walked back over to the statue he was at before and looked around. There had to be an entrance into this temple here. How to get into it now though was a bit unclear. he knew the temple was underground and knew that there was a special was of getting into this and a lot of underground temples. Galen had placed his palm on the statue and closed his eyes. Nothing. No rumbling, movement, Nothing. Galen was a bit dumbfounded.

Galen had looked over to his right and about 15 yards down was a HUGE Wasp-Worm hive entrance. Galen shook his head. He knew he needed to get into the temple. Galen looked over to his left and about 30 yards from him was a slew of more statues. Heads and tall statues stood in ruin. What looked like the Jedi Temple Courtyard had been set between two large buildings. Underground? looked above ground to him. Galen had made started to make his way over to the two buildings. The Statues got bigger as he got closer. What was it with Jedi and Massive statues!? "HEY FUCKERS WE ARE HERE! ATTACK US" is what it screamed to him. Galen chuckled to himself. He got to the buildings and took a deep breathe. What was going to be awaiting him inside? He had no idea. He gripped his lightsaber, ignited it and walked into the dark corridor, disappearing into nothingness



THE END
