He was looking at all of it, sticking around here for a few extra moments though the jedi master finished up when he stood in the new synth mesh pants. his boots were impressive while he walked around in them to get a nice feel for it. The pants were designed for him specifically so that he would be able to wear them. His thoughts going to more of the other things on the ship. They were continuing forward for the next several hours as he spent it training, going itno the one cargo bay and fighting with the other jedi and padawans as they formed a circle and the jedi master let his sabers remain at the far side. The different blades that were needed could be ixed and matched but with the new synth mesh there was other things.

His body moved in a circular motion with all of them coming in to attack. The scent of the females and even the males there when he flexed allowing the force to tighten his skin over the muscles themselves like steel cords. A small bulking of his muscles themselves as it made the eternally youthful looking teenage body of the jedi master before he moved around. Allowing them to move around before he was letting his body move quickly to dodge them. His padawan was here and able to join them while one hand came up and smacked the hands of another away when his boot came up o force kick him away. THe force was moving through his body when he was keeping the fight going on so that it was a very nice display.

It seems that for all this time having been engrossed in fashioning the weapon at hand. Had distracted him somewhat that hee didn't seem to take much care nor notice of what had been transpiring no more that some distance away from him. That of Master Syn suit up and proceeding to engage in some sort of exercise. To which once done with the blade he just then turns glance at.
Which on all account did for a moment soon took his attention away from the thoughts lingering in his mind. Of the distant flashes of images....memories or were they just subconscious tricks his mind had to play on him. For what it's worth, whatever trauma he'd been subjected to had in ways mess up his head somewhat or so the healer say. But to what degree and how truthful or false they may have been being all but a blur to him. And yet not wanting to be a trap in this seem endless confusion. That he'd opted to push that thought aside and with curiosity walk over to see what manner of training or exercise they were doing.

And so tucking the dagger to a side of his belt Ronin began to slowly walk over.

He stayed there or at least seemed to. The force was accelerating the movements of the jedi master as it flowed throughout his body and with his being having been made. He allowed the force to flow freely through himself and the energies that the syn th mesh encouraged within the jedi themselves. it was all a very nice feeling compared to some of the things she had seen. Sticking with it here now as the force vibrated practically through his body allowing him to accelerate his body when he was standing there. The force was letting him move at incredible speeds as the padawans themselves in his force sight were barely moving, their inexperience with it giving way to the perception that he was moving in a blur past all of them. Allowing the force energies to be in his legs and body until he could sense his padawan was here as the ship continued to move through space towards their destination.

As he stood there watching that he couldn't help note how much different the approach each Master had.In what he'd figured to been either his reintegration or rehabilitation....whichever the case would be. But still, as he observed that he couldn't help note How to draw he'd felt as he watched on as part of him felt some familiarity to the exercies. Though hazy as it were as to the reasoning and yet he stays...observing as he did.

As with every step and great control Master Syn seem to move thru those assembled. With a mixture of balanced defense and offense till eventually his action had been nothing more than a blur. That it became harder to follow that in brief misstep. Bump from behind then to one side that he fell into the fray of things.

Unexpected thought not lost to him as next thing he knew Ronin right had swung a tad bit close to where Master Sny boot was. Cause him to tumble yet, fortunately. Caught himself midway to instead of falter to the ground he'd was able to drop and roll. Disorienting him for a moment that before he knew it everything seems to feel like a blur. As in the distance, her voice spoke...of a ghost from distant past.

"... the key is to see.....anticipate and act....."

And so he did unknowingly as faint hints of training of old slowly bleed into the now. The thought seems, for now, it had been at best somewhat successful than not. That he'd been able to very least put up a decent defense and not get himself lost in the fray so much. That is until voice shifted in his mind to that of a cold voice......speak calm collective and dark.

".....he'd live....just long enough to be useful..."

And with this, his mind seem to go into a panic that before he knew it. His stance turns from that of an offensive training stance. To that of a slightly darker tone.....cause him to bolt out of there. As he for no reason grab and fought his way out of there. That he unfortunately and unintentionally came as close to injuring some those in his way. As he rushed out of there.....the phantom smell of charred flesh and distant cries of pain ringing in his ears.

He could feel and sense his padawan was... lost in though and distracted maybe. There wasn't much to tell as the jedi master himself was moving. Letting the force energies flow around himself when he moved. They were sticking with it, the padawans and there was some knights there now watching. Few really studied the techniques to do straight up hand to hand combat vs lightsabers. or several opponents at once. His movement let him go through them quickly and he was weaving, dodging until one fo the fists stopped connecting with his face and the padawan shouted in pain. Holding his hand as it looked to be at several odd angled thanks to the force body and enhancement. The jedi master was biding time and letting them go in to get better at following the faster movements. The anticipation, the timing, the ability to see others who were using the force to move at higher speeds. You needed to be able to know how to react after all.

It took a while but eventually Ronin seem been jolted back to reality when a body slammed into him. A padawan no less was thrown back by one of Master Syn counter attack. But instead of simply falling back he awoke to note his hand gripping tightly the makeshift dagger. Partly sheathed and all but inches from the padawans back. As they hit the ground side by side.....and the brooding words barely a whisper . Linger in his mind.....as he pulled to sheath the dagger back before anyone he hopes took notice. Standing to then dust himself off and extend a hand to the fallen padawan. Whom he held back to his feet and in a quiet exchange came after. Between the two was a friendly gesture before return back to the task at hand.

At which time the crowd seems to grow as aside from the earlier apprentices. There was but a few more other......knight he reckons them to be. At any rate given that he undoubtedly had been inducted into the fray. Due to his run in with the other padawan who glance over at him a couple of times. Motion to him in silence..... as if assuming he had to join in as well. In which case awaken out of his hazy waking sleep it seems. Ronin figured to join in any way..... if only to distract his thought to something other that phantom in his mind.Standing beside the other padawan he took the moment to watch.....observe and for the most part try not get hit.

The others were all around them when they moved around the area. Suddenly as the time was going one of the jedi arrived and spoke. "Master Syn, we have arrived, there are some reports from the dugs that they might have encountered one of the creatures." The jedi master was looking up and at the others when he bowed his head to her now. "Thank you. You have all done well and I hope got an idea of how to move and track with the force. You are able to keep up with jedi and sith moving at faster speeds." He thought about it, he had been preparing them, hell he had been working on them for more of the danger's now crossing his arms and his muscles softened from their looks as he stood there preparing himself. "Alright then, take us down tot he planet and we'll hunt down the zillo beast."

It was if anything not going as well he'd hope as for the most part. His altercation had been with the other padawans rather than Master Syn. Which he did seem done ok...given the fact he dodged more and did get couple hits on him rather than out. For it seems thought he'd hate to admit it the shackles from the past still lingered. And with it the fear of knowing what lie beyond. Was something he cares not deal with for now as he instead turns his attention to the present. As one of the Jedi arrived to then speak.

" Master Syn, we have arrived, there are some report from the dugs that they might have encountered one of the creatures."

To which standing aside alongside the other he turns to glance over to Master Syn as he spoke to the Jedi that came before turning towards them.

"Thank you, You have all done well and I hope got and idea of how to move and track with the force. You are able to keep up with jedi and sith moving at faster speeds."

To which alongside the other Ronin nodded in reply thought deep inside. The secret lingers one which he'd hope work to unravel with the help of each Master he'd come to encounter. As the word was soon given ...

" Alright then , take us down to the planet and we'll hunt down the zillo beast."

And with that said he then set off to prepare as the ship soon slowly decelerate to descend towards the planet surface.

The ship was descending to the planet and it was large but not overbearing until the jedi master was ready. His armored and protective pants that were using the synth mesh of it. The leviathan hide they were making was there, set up and on display as they were working with it and strengthing it with the synthweaving to allow themselves a stronger material that the jedi themselves would be able to use. He prepared for more of the things as he rolled his shoulders. Prepared to fight what might be down there but as the doors to the ramp were opening it gave the jedi master a moment to look around. With his belt holding his sabers while walking down. The force rolling off of him while he walked and some fo the advanced teams that were here. "Master we discovered an old chasm that had been buried when mining on the planet. Once it was uncovered a thick fog came and the teams were being attacked." The jedi master gave a nod of her head while he walked through it ready to begin. Getting a better look over the planet but also towards where they were headed when he was going down into the mines.

It was then as the ship descended that Ronin slip off to gather some extra supplies he figured to need in this expedition. Of which he grabs a med kit, some synth rope and at the last second. He swiped a decent swab of the creatures hide from the side when some the tech were not looking. As if anything else seeing how tough thought light the hide was he figured it may come in handy later. So rolling it up he then stuff it inside a leather satchel he found and slung in onto his back.
Then walking ahead he then followed behind at some distance Master Syn as he disembarks. At which time no sooner had the door open that it hit him hard..... the uneasiness and draw.

Of feeling the pulsing web of life.....some stronger than other. Of which for what its worth had been one the key traits of once dormant force connection coming alive. For it seems with the training he'd so far engaged in within the temple halls, time spent with the healer and his earlier bout in the pits with Master Syn. Had somehow broken thru to strip away some of the binding shells he'd wove for himself during his time away. One which he so held into for so long that even he didn't know why.

But still, although it somewhat felt so liberating to be free of it.....it could no less still strangely odd. That part of him fear it so......but then again this he believed was not the time to dwell on it. For there still as the task at hand to deal with. So pushing these thoughts aside he then ventured off to follow Master Syn lead.

HE could sense Ronin coming with him as they were leading through the area with his attention. Towards the mines themself as he started walking prepared. The force was rolling across the planet when he sensed it, when he reached out towards the strands of force energy he could see across the world to follow the largest thing. Deep down you could feel it, you could see it all down there. The creatures were ancient and large but killing them off was dangerous, it was better to keep them contained if this was one of them. The zillo beasts were just another thing in the galaxy that the people feared or had able to cause problems. The jedi master cracked his knuckles prepared for a fight.

It was then as he followed closely behind Master Syn that he began feel it . Creeping and seeping thru the very fibers of his being. Seem like a long lost friend or aquaintance all but lost to the myst of time. Familiar yet foreign to him that he couldn't help but feel a bit unnerved.

As all around a great many being both great and small could be felt but hardly recognized. While the pair edged deeper into the prevebial wampa hole. And deep inside he couldn't help after hearing the cracking of then Master. Syn buckles. A faint voice so distant yet felt so close......Dark as it was cold .

'....How far it seem you've strayed....Yet home you'll soon be....'

THey were continuing down into the pits and he was ready for the fight when on the edges of his senses he could see it one of the arms moving and led the way motioning for his padawan to come while they were going in and deeper. One hand clenching as the jedi master lept into a cavern down below with the heat all around them. From the gasses to the creature that was in here that wasn't as large as the adults but he rolled to the side from a swipe that was coming at him. Letting the shadows work to to conceal him before he motioned for his padawan to get in on the action just like he had shown the man on Corbos. They were working to fight and smash the beastie.

It was then as the pair continued down deeper into the pits that the voices seem trail off. Though the strange cold feeling remained chill him down to the core . Leaving him somewhat perplex at same time fearfully. But then looking ahead at Master Syn motion for him fall in close towards certain vent. That he silently shook his head in his mind and done his best forgo the fear that somehow silently over took him. As in the darkness something faintly familiar but overtly distant came brush his mind. As if lull in a dream state he'd been all but awoken from.

That it took him a moment before come realize how Master Syn had all but lept ahead him. Drop down into the fray strait into an all out fight. No different in certain point view to the one they'd just left from. Abet it was now with fairly different beast that he could barely see let alone guess what.

And yet riled inside by mix of voices he'd just heard or did he. Along with action the Master had all but begun in all it fierocity at same time skill. Hope to trust he'd eventually drop in although not landing as gracefully as he'd hope . But instead twisting then forced into a tight barrel roll as one the creatures sense him. And rilled into a frenzy by the Master action had been at best forthcoming with its intent.

To maim or kill him where he fell....Trampling him underfoot between it feet. Which he'd all but barely missed garnering him quite bit bruise or scratches. That would not by long shot eclipse the sheer embarrassment he'd felt not doing as well he'd had in the get go as before. Fuel a slight determination in him that no sooner as the creature stop for breath that. He pull out the dagger made from the bones found earlier in the ship. Sharpen to a fine edge that he began try to stab deep into the creatures underbelly. Before rolling away towards the shadows as fast he could. In order hopes of putting some distance between him and the beast. To escape it's reach for now as he'd plan and survey the area for more of them along with. A possible better angle of attack...

He was moving and watching his padawan in the force before the creature swiped and its arm remained on the ground. Moving to let himself climb up on the scales of the beast as he ran up it. To get a grip between the scales as it was trying to shake him and it felt like something few could experience until the jedi master pulled at the scale digging his boots into the skin as the beast screamed into the cave letting it echo. Parts of his hands before the sound of flesh tearing allowed the jedi master to force the scale and use it as protection when the claw struck it and he could feel it impact against the scale before bouncing off while the blood was pooling and he could smell ittearing at the wound to make it larger.

It was then hidden if but for a moment in the shadows amids the screeching howl of pain and grunts of the beast. As one lay beeding and the other no less near death something about it struck a cord in him. As tightening his grip on the dagger while looking up at how Master Syn seem to make quick work of his beast. That rally him and no less pull him back into the fray.....thought now realizing a unknow feeling come over him as such. He charged onward ducking low to roll then find himself under the beast.....he did well to dig in deeper at its underbelly. Which on all accounts had been more or less one the few weak spot in it that he could find or exploit.

Dig deep and then slashing across as he roll out the other side amids the dust . Scratched and bruised once on the other side he then felt himself draw into a fit of rage. Which he had barely any control over as from behind more beast came and he turn go on hte offense. Armed with nothing less than the dagger and his enraged sense along with perhaps muscle memories of training old from his past. He attacked savagely and seem without though as his mind drifted into a seem stasis state of being awake yet not.

Where his action seem happen as if he was but a diffrent person than who he was at that time. Driven and focused on the lone task of seem near madness or hate for something. His mind would not vocalize not find clarity to express in no other way that to attack. Even when he came close or to injure himself in the process. As was self evident in the nicks and bruises he'd gotten tussling or fightig with the beast.

The jedi master could feel his padawan slashing into the beast and they were tearing at it. The tight confined caves of it with the small targets that they would be able to work on many things here. He moved along as the creature screamed more before the jedi master was scaling it to get to another area. Somewhere he could grab on it and use the third arm of the creature to continue to scale up the creature where it can move around and was looking for the two of them. His face covered in a small grimace of almost giddiness at the fight when they could keep it going for as long as they needed to. This thing wasn't going to be the problem it was if there were more of them or a larger area where it could really see them moving around.

It had taken a while before eventually after few blows from the beast as he had begun to drag him. While he still clung to its underside digging his dagger deep into that it guts. Spilling much it's in part on the floor beside him where he'd lay for the moment. After being from what he could fathom knock away from some terrible nightmare. Where at best he could describe is was as if falling into a deep slumber and seeing things from someone else eyes. Someone who was cold and distant.....

As he then disengaged from the beast just seem in time as it staggered to the side. Seem mortally wounded though not yet willing succumb to death. It clung on as he slowly yet painfully got back his feet just as from behind he willing beast seemingly attracted more unwanted attention to where they were.

The beast roared as the two of them were tearing into it and getting between the plates would provide them before he was falling over in the cavern until the jedi master finished. he got up close and gripped one of the bony plates neat the head when the pale purple saber activated and dug into the plat at the neck to stop with it. he was slashing and digging it into the creatures neck as it screamed seeing the underside and he could sense his padawan in the force slashing into the belly and lower sections of the great beast. Suddenly there was the sound and crashing when its third arm slammed into the ground with a small look and the jedi master gripped tighter the bony and scale kicking into the pupil making it pop.
