Qijian Xia Tianshan (Silver Jedi Dominion of Malachor V)

[Aika Kawakami]

"Maya. Step back. I won't say it again, my friend."

A heavy sigh escaped her lips as the sounds of the crashing wall behind them hit her ears, her gaze remaining locked on Connors. The question of what had happened to the Knight remained. Killing him would be easy, but easy never would give her the things she wad looking for. For only a moment, she dove into his mind, curious to what she may find. It was no surprise to her what found behind those eyes.

As Aika reached into his mind, she could sense it immediately. Another being within the knight. The Taung spirit swiftly slipped deeper into his mind, though not swift enough. She could see now what had happened. When it happened remained a question, but there was no doubt that his body was no longer his own. Possessed by another, more than likely due to his focus in combat. Without a well rounded training, cracks remain that can make almost any Jedi vulnerable, and the spirit had found its way in through one of those cracks.

Her head dropped to her side, giving way to the power of the Shi'do. "If you are going to behave as an animal, then I will be more than happy to put a leash on you. That said, it appears you aren't as far gone as I thought, yet at least.I suppose that means you are to live. However, should you lose control and decide to place yourself before me..." Her gaze shifted to her obviously sickly friend, silently staring at Rasu for a few moments. "In your state, you can't honestly believe you can protect him from anything, let alone me." She pivoted, hands clasping behind her back as she sauntered toward the crumbled wall behind Nima and Ellain.

Perhaps we showed too much.. She'll be weary.

Her watching was unavoidable. We'll have to slow our pace. That said, we may have a new toy to use..

[Lorna Halcyon]

Southern Continent

Lorna moved through the trees now and came out at the city, taking in all of it while she watched the people and standing tall the padawan moved. She might not have the presence of her cousin or the power of her master and she might not have the large sense of authority but she was skilled. She could see the beings here and walked joining the former citizens of the empire.. hell they had been serving under Circe Savan one of the more dangerous and creepy sith of the empire. She was looking forward to seeing what they might have in store while walking down the street.

 

[Connor Harrison]

Connor winced as a momentary clash of energy erupted in his mind - light and dark - conflicting and battling for control.

Teeth clenched, he arched his head back and closed his eyes, only gasping once he felt the pressure give way. He was still being held, and he was angry. SHE was angry.

"Release me at once...I am not...a PRISONER! I am a sword of the Jedi!"

He watched [member="Aika Kawakami"], her hard, striking features glaring at him as she spoke, but her empty words meant nothing to the warrior within him.

"Let me go. Let me GO! This is disgusting behaviour....against one of your most trusted....warriors!"

[Junko Ike]

Sith academy Mess Hall

Junko had entered the academy through a window letting her small frame be to her advantage as there was sounds of things breaking and her hand went to the atrisian blade. Her master was here she could feel her but she wasn't nearby... No there were some tuk'ata as Junko moved quickly going at it and slashing when the large beast came at her. She slid to the floor and went across the floor slicing into the beast before she felt blood pour onto her and laid there with a beast atop her. She was panting and rolled over to look around.

 

[Orihime Ike]

Northern Continent

Orihime looked around the city as she was smiling and searching there was so much here and now she was looking at all the statues of the ancient sith lords that had been erected and others Like Ashin Varanin, Moridan, Voraticious and Kaine. So many things here while the silver jedi in the city were enjoying their time checking things out. Orihime looked at the waters in the fountain and at the stones below the water tossing her own coin in it to make a wish.

 

[Noriko Ike]

Ruin Basement

The large jedi lept towards the second floor awning and as she came onto the stones. A cracking sound at first and then falling through a section onto wood as it broke and Noriko found herself down below in the lower levels. The Saber staff activating and casting blue light around while she started walking around not wanting to alert anything anymore then she already had to her presence. She was looking around the moss covered stones, moist walls and puddles with dripping water.

 

[Nico Ike Qarmast]

Northern Continent

Nico was in the city and now looking at the architecture of it. This world despite feeling like the darkside was amazing and powerful to say the least, it was also ancient from a time before many things in the galaxy now. Then destroyed and rebuilt by mysterious ones, it had brought to her attention some dangerous things.... then it was there. Sitting in a large amber piece, one of the hammers they had found on Shri-tal. One of the hammers that had brought them here to find information on and Nico touched the amber. The force resonated with it, tickling along her skin and it almost felt like the hammer was vibrating.

 

[Syn]

Caves

He had found it, or at least he hoped so. There was a mural and the jedi researchers that were looking things over while he stood there and was reaching out with the force to touch the minds of the ones on the planet. The jedi master pushing himself to make sure everything was secure. There was something off about one of the knights and he could feel the pulsations of the planet as it all came to be. "Be still." He spoke as the sensation of Iella in a situation came to him and he was focusing on giving her some strength.

 

[Saki]

Ruins Third Floor

Saki kept moving, she felt something off in the distance now. Aika was there and Saki moved jumping up to the third floor of the ruins as she heard a crash... Her hands reaching out and grabbing the wall as she smirked looking around.It wasn't such a bad place to look at, the moss and vines on the stone, the broken vases and murals and the foreboding feeling of the darkside as she walked around. it wa cold and clammy crawling all over her skin while she rubbed her arms to warm them up where the hairs were bristling and gooseflesh forming. She wasn't looking forward to what might be here and wanted to meet up with the other. Not being in battle left her wanting to mostly be with friends instead of the darkside.

 

[Shalla Horizonis]

As she tried to listen to [SIZE=13.63636302948px][member="Nima Tann"] words then her attention was on something else it came like a bullet. Before she even had time to react it found her. Next same her flying across the open space of the room. Until came to a stop against a wall. "ARRRRRRRRR" out of reaction as to the fact that no one was around or even close. To say she wouldn't do anything one would say she was a fool. There she was reaching out to take the handle to move off her. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=13.63636302948px]What happen next only Shalla herself knew as she felt something come out of the hammer. Snaking its way up her arm as if it had a reason to be out of its resting place. There she was taken in by fear, not able to move. Just what was happening to her it twisted into like a sharp knife. Trying to fight it all she could do was try and scream even her voice cords wouldn't word. [/SIZE]

Hissing came into her mind as he entered into her. He would seek his High pristess out be by herside again. to serve her. To bring those responsible for his imprisonment.This one would do nicely. As he work his way deeper into. Finding that her just rip for the taking over. Then there it was as if there had been something waiting for him. Why the hammer had went to her instead of such powerful Master. So much power this one had inside of her she didn't even know it. So fools these jedi are. As he worked the spell putting her in more of his own slave. Picking up the hammer as he made the body respone to his commands. There was screams from this one even a lashing but that would be deal with. For now one thing had to take presented that was to seek out his High Priestess.

Finding the rest as Shalla held the hammer with so much power. Coming to pass was then holding it up as she let it unleshed on the temple as she look as if she didn't know what it could do. It was the one inside her knew as bring it around as it shot out it power at the closes Master all he wanted to do was kill these humans. That what he would do one by one starting with Iella E'ron if anything would break the hold she had on [member="Connor Harrison"]

Jeela trailed along behind them in the ruined city, eyeing the statues warily. They were eerie, uncanny, and not at all pleasant. Darkness lingered here, darting in the corners of her eyes, hissing in the soft crunch of her footsteps. Her hand drifted to her lightsaber hilt, and she dove into the depths of the Force, letting it soothe her fraying edges. Her eyes darted from side to side, looking for anything of importance.

The airfield and hanger were overgrown with brokendown ships and walkers. In the one hanger marked "Confiscated" they had found an old model ship while the lockers were filled with old gear. The rest of the airfield presented some equipment from Zambrano era empire.

The voice speaking to Shalla were there, whispers and inky shadows sifting through her mind while the taungs spirit was infecting towards her.

The room that Ellain had come into as the chest she was opening popped revealing a small collection of golden crystals. The color crystals to change the blade color were attuned to the force and purified with the force technique cleanse. There was some standard mephite crystals for sabers.

The rest of the room was filled with Gungnir armor and pieces of armor recovered from the Jedi-Sith war with armor pieces and a large case filled with bloody slurry a preservation agent to keep the sigil contained as it reached out to give Maya whitelight a small beacon of energy.

Aika had one such and it glowed while near her while on a stand a saber hilt stood covered in electrum for its finish while being smaller but more regal.

Nima would see it, one of the tuk'ata had knocked stones loose revealing a datapad with information and a pendant containing a small shard of meditation crystal

Connor for all his glory and power was being faced down and something would pulse, a blood red crystal that had been knocked loose by the hammer from the watcher statue and responded to the twisted Taung spirit.

[member="Maria Natalja"]

Matsu looked at Maria as she spoke about the fighting and jedi falling. She spoke with a nod of her head. "I under stand that, the darkside's lure can be strong and some stop resisting it is why Selena spoke to her jedi and made sure they were alright when needed but she was a war general. Someone who was needed in a fight, I am certain of many things but never rush into something until you believe you are ready." Matsu then though about the water and she had a place for it. "Yes we have containers for it to be stored in until we can make a pipe to tap into a well. Hopefully a contract with your company in construction will be helpful."

[member="Memorial"]

[[rolled 20]]

Memorial would find himself in the masters section of the barracks and the escape tunnel leading in to show a broken bed with stone on it and on a rack an ancient looking sith tremor sword, on the table a dust covered lavenrok and the big thing a chest under the bed.

[member="Jeela Tillian "] [member="Orihime Ike"] [member="Nico Minuro Ike"]

[[rolled 16]]

Orihime while looking at the stone would find one, an aquamarine looking stone that pulsed with the energies of the force and small bubbles of distorted energy formed around it.

Jeela as she walked and explored would find an ancient and large statue of a sith lord wearing armor while surrounded by others. A real warblade in its hands that had remained sharp as below it at the base was a damaged compartment with some stuff inside

Nico as she touched the amber would find it sticky and cold as the energy of the hammer slowly distorted and melted it for her to grab.

[member="Saki"]

[[rolled 20]]

Saki's exploration would lead her to many things mostly a transparasteel case with a golden crystal inside it held by pins in place. There was a biometric lock and some left over equipment from stormtroopers as well as confiscated sabers. The crystal alluring and humming with the lightside of the force.

[member="Syn"]

[[rolled 18]]

The jedi master and the researchers found some of the information. Dipictions from drawing done detailing this area and the legends of the hammers. The taung sisterhood forging them to enslave and keep the Atrisian's under control, their rage that had been reawoken during the war with the death cult and exiles. Then the incident that shattered the codex, there was some overgrown datapads with information sith researchers had found and notes of where they had stored one of the hammers on Voss

[member="Noriko Ike"]

[[rolled 7]]

Searching would yield little as the basement sections of the ruins were covered in rotted wood and grime but there were the remains of an army filled with sabers, weapons and armor. Perhaps something good would be in the sabers themselves.

[member="Junko Ike"]

[[rolled 2]]

The mess hall was a mess as she would be able to see covered in dropping and housing a nest for the tuk'ata hounds. Several small babies who's eyes were even open laying there chewing on crystals to big for their mouths.

[member="Lorna Halcyon"]

[[rolled 10]]

The city Lorna was in served little other purpose. The people were still around but different, more paranoid and suspicious while in some places general upkeep was ignored in favor of jury rigged pieces. There was some equipment in an old run down sith walker on the street and the large walker towered still while it was partially broken.

 

[Edric Vanyan]

Ellain smiled and opened her bag as she began to toss crystals in it with the other one she had found earlier, not really thinking of the others at the moment and what ever they were dealing with out there. "Boy, these are more crystals than i have seen before... i got to figure out whats special about them..." She looks up and sees the Gungnir armor, walking over and touching it lightly as she had found one that seemed to be made of a different material than the others. "What do we have here... is this... Ultrachrome. My oh My, how lucky am i to find something like this..." She smiled as she set the bag down and inspected the armor to make sure it was all there.

 

[Serah Oricion]

Solan looked over the blade of the Sith Tremor Sword, carefully taking it in hand and examining it as he spun it around in his hand. "Interesting." His hand ran over the blade slowly before stopping and placing it in a sheeth nearby, his feet brought him now to the Lavenrok, taking it in hand and blinking at his find. "Interesting once more." He pulled that over his shoulder and finally looked on the chest, pulling it out and taking a saber, careful to cut just enough to break any lock but not damage the contents as he would open it and look inside.

 

[Maya Carrick]

Nima Tann Ellain Hadrin Shalla Horizonis Connor Harrison Aika Kawakami Maya Whitelight

Looking at [member="Aika Kawakami"] backing up a few steps to find herself turning quickly to the fact that there was something coming wiz by them. No one seem to want to go look at that or strange of what it could be going or happen to it. "Master Aika the padawn speaks wisdom. Is there a way to immobilize Knight Connor for the get him to the light crysral to take the darkness out of him. Force knows that spent a lot of time in the light.

Then came the blinding light from no where coming right at Master. All she could do was react and get herself up with a bubble trying to wrap it around herself and others around. Pushing it out as far as she could with the strenght she had as the warrior came out more inside of her to do its job.

 

[Nima Tann]

She took the meditation crystal from the pendant and she put the crystal in her backpack quickly. it was a crystal which was used to connect the wielder with the Force. "This will help me dearly on the way of my Jedi training." she thought, a smile appeared on her face. "And what is this?" She saw the datapad in the rubble, she controlled the content and it was luckily undamaged. As she watched the content, she couldn't believe her eyes. The datapad contained the information about a secret room in the Academy, and it said that there was something powerful in there.

She continued to fight the Tuka'ta, and their numbers were starting to thin, and they retreated for a moment. Taking that chance, she returned to the Masters, giving the datapad to them. "I found it in the rubble, but it's undamaged." she reported. "It contains some valuable information about a secret room." She said, then suddenly caught by the bright light, that almost made her blind.

[member="Aika Kawakami"]/[member="Maya Whitelight"]/[member="Shalla Horizonis"]/[member="Ellain Hadrin"]/[member="Connor Harrison"]

 

[Aika Kawakami]

The words from Connor no longer seemed to reach Aika, as if she had mentally blocked him out. Her gaze has shifted toward Maya, who has continued to somewhat plead for the boy's life. She couldn't help but admit that this piqued her interest. "Very well then. If that's what you want to happen, then your hands will be needed. Rasu is obviously not in the best state. So, until we return to the temple, Connor is your responsibility. His hands are yours. If we takes causes trouble, you both will suffer the punishment. There just may be a way.."

Her gaze jumped back towards the hole that had been made in the wall, one of the crystals seeming resonating with her as she neared it. Even the crystal around her neck glowed brightly, the same one she had found so long ago as a padawan on Illum. Her hand rose and extended, the crystal and hilt heading her call as they were pulled to her. Her hand closed around them as they reached her, the purple crystal still glowing within her grasp. As her steps began back towards the shuttle, the voice of the young padawan caught her ears. With a quick pivot, she turned, receiving the datapad from her.

"A secret room, you say? Interesting... What is your name, apprentice?" The sudden light caused her eyes to squint, head turning slightly to avoid looking directly into it.

[Saki]

[member="Aika Kawakami"]

Saki took the crystal suspended there and she heard a commotion. Something was happening nearby and she was running jumping back out the window while pushing the air after her to launch forward and towards the academy as she slammed through he entrance way and slid across the floor towards Aika Kawakami and rolled jumping up. "I heard and felt something." Saki clenched the solari crystal in her hand and smiled lopsidedly seeing Aika while her cheeks burned. "Ah..." She chewed her lip and turned around.... This was awkward.

 

[Rasu Gan]

"I'm fine." she would have said, had anyone cared. In fact Rasu was curious as to what had instead drawn the attention of the group, looking on, following their gaze to large opening in the wall. Already she could make out figures bustling through the debris within, however the Shi'ido did not concern herself with the artifacts hidden within the academy. She had come for another reason.

Rising from her slumped position, she walked slowly over to [member="Connor Harrison"], averting her gaze away from the man, and keeping it fixed on the wall, now a buzz of activity. "How are feeling Connor?" she asked, "Is everything alright?" The man still remained hovering in the air, suspended by Iella's will. The Shi'ido ignored this fact, allowing the man to remain in this position. She knew what was inside him, and to let him fall would be a utterly absurd notion. No he would stay suspended, at least for the moment.

She hid her thoughts well, erecting a shield of equal power to the one that had surrounded Connor only moments ago, now however it protected her own frail form, just in case whatever plagued the young Knight would turn on her. Hoping to catch whatever had taken over the Jedi's body, Rasu immediately delved deep into the mind of the human, searching and scavenging through each nook and cranny until she came across the source of Connor's innate darkness. Immediately Rasu felt a strong presence overpower her, forcing her out of Connor's mind and back into her own form. Startled, the Shi'ido, abandoning all hope of intimidation, looked square into the eyes of the Jedi Knight, determination echoing throughout her aura. "What is it that you want with Connor? What is it that you want with us?" she asked.

 

[Connor Harrison]

Saving her energy, the Taung resisted fighting the grip Connor was held in. The spirit clamped onto the Force inside him, burrowing deeper and focusing on absorbing the light energy that would help blur the darkness radiating from him to others. She had tread carefully and not lose her weapon, otherwise it would be over before she had even started.

Connor looked down at the frail form of Master [member="Rasu Gan"], picturing how a simple strike would take her down. He breathed gently, calming himself and held his head strong.

”I am fine. Master. I am not happy about being treated like an enemy of the Order when all I have done is served as your weapon. You use me and my loyalty and this is how you repay me?”

He shook his head, sending brief glances to those like [member=Saki], [member="Nima Tann"] and young @Maya Whitlight. He found [member="Aika Kawakami"] and imagined taking her head with a clean blow.

”What is the point of the Silver Jedi when you’re all as broken as you suspect I am. I am not without conflict, and I am battling my own demons – but I am not your enemy.”

Clenching his fists briefly, he flexed his hands and relaxed under the grip of @Iella E’ron.

”I want nothing but for you to let me go and remember who I am. Let me get on with our job.”

OUR job?

”Our job – the Jedi. Our job, that’s all I want.”

He looked back to Rasu, and focused on the sliver of doubt he picked up from her and channelled his thought through to her mind.

The Silver Jedi is crumbling around you, Rasu, and only I can help you fix it. Let me in – let me help you build something great again.
