Déjà vu~ Taoré

[Darius]

Adonia lean on the wall now with her arms across her chest,"Clearly she was that remorseful, otherwise your ancestor would not have killed her, no Jedi relishes taking a life, it's unnatural, it upsets the balance. With that in mind I don't think this Bogan warrior, Gave him much choice." Adonia walked over to the chair next to Taoré crossing both her legs meditation style she put her hand in her lap as she continued to try to piece all of this together. "What I do know about that time, is that it was very hard for both sides, both thought they were in the right, scars that are visible to this day in this temple."


"her biography was not descriptive at all, it was meant for more keeping a legacy, not an intimate knowledge of her personality, the more prominent Dark Force users perhaps, but only if they posed a significant threat to the Council in the past." They needed to find something more, something bigger linking this all together, or else the archives would be of no help.

 

[Taoré Timarick]

"Unless this was something not meant to be found for fear of its power..." He countered, and his point did have some vailidity: Two corrupt files of both a Dark Jedi and his ancestor. Connection?

In spite of the logical reasoning in his answer, why would it just be attacking him now? After all these generations, why now? He understood that a Dark Force energy advancement might've been a bad idea in the time of the great Luke Skywalker, but why not all the other times of turmoil within the Force? There was one piece of the puzzle missing.

"A black hole in the Force such as that, as we've determined was meant for me to receive... Yet I've never felt its presence before, at least not like this; and certainly not before my old master sensed it. Could this Dark Force be being amplified to something, or someone, attuned to me?" He asked. Adonia might've been a Padawan, but in terms of power level, she was his equal and far more wiser than he, this much he was able to determine in his short time together with her.

Matsu moved through the halls silently. She was here to find Adonia and for precaution had kept herself hidden in the force. She could sense Adonia and another as she walked quietly in her jedi master robe with her lightsaber in her pocket. She didn't know what had happened but kept her pace moderate and her face blank. Her white bodysuit and robes nearly matched her skin with the only think her hair which was black and around her shoulders. She came to a stop and remained still stretching out with her senses as she spoke towards Adonia like they had when they were little. 'Adonia? Adonia come find me, I was wondering where you had gone off to.'

 

[Darius]

"That is possible, and if that is the case, I would say forgot about it all together, many a jedi has fallen to the darkness, or holocrons, or artifacts that should not have been meddled with in the first place, if you do proceed which my feeling tell me you will, Only search for what you need to know, you want to know why this thing, this entity is haunting you, keep to the course I fear this might be a huge can or worms." This was all coming so fast, it really felt to easy, information missing sparking there interest, perhaps by someone who knew of the inquisitive nature of a wayward padawan.


"Your his ancestor you really have no idea how this..." She stopped mid sentence, as her mind was contacted by her master, she seemed worried, clearly she could feel that Adonia was getting in deep with something, and the dark shadow on eh temple did not help either. "I'm sorry...I....I Have to go, My Master is here." Adonia did not wait for a reply she ran off into the halls following the presence of Matsu until she found her. "I'm sorry I was delayed, there seems to be a Dark presence tainting this temple, it has already killed a mechanic, and I fear it is drawn to another padawan somehow, it only reveals itself to him, when I use my Force Light, all I see is a Void, no dark no light, nothingness."

 

[Taoré Timarick]

Taoré sat there by himself for a moment, pondering just what indeed was going on. Something was bonding him to this Dark Force, and he knew he had to find out what, and more importantly, why. He closed down the file and walked to his quarters. As he passed, he saw Adonia chatting with her Master. A woman also, his memory of the current Jedi Order told him her name was Matsu. He was too far away to make any distinguishable features, but he still spotted them and stopped a just outside his quarters.

As his thoughts began to ponder upon him, he felt the Force slowly but gently flow through him, almost pushing him. He couldn`t help but feel the power rush through him. As he stretched out, he began to listen to what it was saying, but the more and more he tried to listen, the more and more he could hear the conversation between Adonia and her Master. They were a good few hundred feet away and well out of earshot, despite the acoustics of the building, which he felt vibrate off the walls so subtly that he could hear every word Adonia said to her Master.

As he consented to focus on what they were saying, his hearing reverted back to normal. This was strange to him. Odd. He tried once more to focus on their conversation, but it was a dud. Giving up for a moment, he opened the door to his quarters and closed the door behind him and walked over to his glove box and grabbed his midnight black durasteel vembraces, pauldrons, and chestplate, and laying them on his bed. As he began to ponder more and more at what the Force was trying to say to him, that strange hearing returned. Now he could hear youngling clans training in the courtyard like a strange wave. Like someone had dropped a rock in a stream and he was feeling the ripples. Once more he heard Adonia and her Master. He had yet to figure out what it meant as the hearing disappated again. This was getting strange, but pleasantly so.

He pulled off his black tunic and switched it in favour of his dark tan one and slung it around himself, though he left his sleeves and trousers just as they were. so he didnt appear to anyone he walked by in the Temple as a Sith. He knew they would not attack him either way, but looking like the thing you are not would spook the younglings. Nevertheless, he slung his bands, vembraces, pauldrons, and chestplate over himself before slinging his black Jedi travelling cloak around his body. As he began to pack his tactical gear, he stretched out to the Force once more, this time concentrating on what he was asked to do, and finally managed to get a sort of lock on the conversation between Adonia and Matsu. It sounded much like a broken transmission, but he took it for what it was, and listened in...

 

[Syn]

Matsu kept still as she listened to Adonia and spoke finally in her voice not to her friends mind. "If there is a darkside taint here then we should work to remove it. I want to meet this young man please?" Matsu looked around as she walked and didn't make a face just kept her senses reaching out and felt around gently as she went with Adonia.

 

[Taoré Timarick]

Taoré spun around and slung his blaster in its holster and hitched up his lightsaber again before sitting on his bed to meditate. Just because he was ready to leave, there was something telling him to stop for a moment. He sat still, cross legged, his eyes gently closed, breathing evenly. This was not something he would normally do. While meditation and reflection was required during his training as a youngling and later a young Padawan, his time in Exile rarely gave him a moment`s rest to reflect on his thoughts. It wasn`t the greatest experience he had; but the past few weeks have had him change his opinions about a lot of things lately.

While he still woke up and was consistently late to his various training exercises, much to the aggravation of his instructors, he made up for it with his ability and his determination to speak. While it was unusual that his training was like the way it was, but the Jedi Battlemaster had allowed it on the condition of his former Master had died not long after he left the Order.

He thought about his former Master, Ty Eid. He was a good teacher, one of the few friends he had throughout his time with the Jedi. He was sad when he chose to leave him behind, but nevertheless, the wise Jedi understood. To this day it baffles Taoré that Ty Eid, one of the most orthodox Jedi in the Order, would take an eccentric youth like he was (and still is). As he sat there, his body instinctively felt his lightsaber hover off its hold on its belt ring and hover around him in a circle. As he began to think of his late Master, he began to feel the ebb and flow. All the good times he had with him, as well as the bad. As this happened he felt the crystal pulse in his lightsaber, something he rarely felt happen, despite being capable of using it. This hum in his mind soothed the negative emotions.

As he heard the door to his quarters de-pressurize, his saber dropped right where he wanted it to, activating it in mid-air, before catching it and pointing its jade blade in the direction of the door. It was Jedi Master Matsu, followed by her apprentice, Adonia, who looked unabashed, though apologetic that she had interrupted his meditation. Matsu did not jump back at the saber activation, but looked equally apologetic. She must`ve sensed him in the Force as his meditation, as it did with all Jedi, allowed his Force potential to flow straight through him.

As he came back into the centre, he heard a thunderous crash as everything that was not nailed down drop with authority. This made him jump slightly, but he did not look away from the Jedi Master.

 

[Syn]

[[okay I was going to wait for Darius but here is a post. Sorry for taking so long]]

Matsu looked at the padawan and raised an eyebrow as she kept her face still and looked around the room from the doorway. She didn't need to speak or ask she could see the room and how everything had dropped while she motioned. "Come padawan if you are ready." Matsu turned sligtly and withdrew from her sleeze a purple and silver fan as she opened it and held it.

 

[Taoré Timarick]

Taoré looked over at Adonia, silent as the night, then back at Matsu. He sheathed his lightsaber and slung it again on his belt, getting off his bed.

"If you're looking to investigate the Temple, forget it; The Dark Force that was in the Hangar has long gone from here. That being said, I think I might have a clue as to where to start looking around, but we'd need the council's approval and I need to be assigned to another "master" before I can go anywhere." He said.
There was no trace of bitterness in his voice, despite his past dealings with the Council. They DID afterall allow him to continue to train in this unorthodox method. Though as he spoke, he watched Matsu without blinking and watched her eyebrow raise in surprise that he knew exactly what Matsu had said to her Padawan. The eyebrow raised for a flicker of a second before returning to a stoic image, but he wasn't looking for her surprise to feed his ego. He knew, regardless of protocol, he needed to see the Jedi Council, or at least a member, to listen to what has happened.

He turned his gaze to Adonia, who almost had a look of stunned disgust that he didn't even acknowledge that Matsu was a Jedi Master standing in front of him, nor that he showed any "respect". He couldn't really explain it, despite his efforts, but he didn't care what people's "ranks" were as every living being was equal to him, big or small. As his old Master once put it: "Rank is just a way for people to categorize and structure a life as if doing so would give it meaning. A Jedi must always be aware of this, but he does not, if he chooses to, have to adhere to it. The Force is not something structure can simply categorize or put a label on, and neither should its servants."

 

[Darius]

Adonia had walked into Taoré's quarters, as she looked around she laughed a bit, it was messy, men even the men who followed the call of the Jedi, could not overcome the natural ability to make a mess. As Taoré began to speak Adonia had an urge to interrupt him and reprimand his lack of respect, but strangely part of her knew he would not care either way. Seeing no point in beating iron with a plastic hammer, she decided to vent her frustration in a simple introduction. " Taoré Timarick, this is Jedi Master Matsu Ike, my friend and teacher."


"I too have a desire to get to the bottom of this, but I feel we should exercise some caution, this thing, this entity has slipped past our nets, and that in itself is a feat." Adonia looked at Taoré, slightly concerned. "A dark force infiltrates the temple, a dark force only you can feel? The Jedi archives are corrupted and incomplete, with anything regarding your ancestors, or anyone who had dealings with them? It's just...weird, even for the Sith."
Adonia turned to Matsu, "I'm sorry for bringing you into this, but my feelings tell me I must see this through."

 

[Syn]

Matsu looked at Adonia and listened to her as she spoke. "Then I will help and offer what I can." Matsu turned back to the man and gave a nod. She would see this through if only so her padawan didn't get hurt and this padawan the same. Matsu remained where she was and spoke. "Since this seems to effect you what would you like to do first?"

 

[Taoré Timarick]

"Our first and probably best bet to investigate this would be on Corellia. According to the holorecords Adonia and I found, no matter how corrupted the files were, this Dark Force seems to originate from a fallen Jedi not too far off from the Hutt War, where she was ultimately defeated but apparently not laid to rest. From who, or what, I cannot be sure. But the problem is will the Council go along with this..." replied Taoré, his last sentence coming out rather glum. The Council wouldn't just go on the word of two Padawans and a hunch to allow further investigation, especially with a maverick like himself involved.

 

[Darius]

"Well we should speak with them as soon as we are allowed to, what every this is is poses a threat to all the younglings in the temple, they do not yet have the skills to repel such a force." Adonia used her fingers to sound a resonating whistle, after a while Adonia was pushed slightly out of the way, as her pet entered the room, standing next to his master the huge cat, stopped bending the light around him, and appeared to be alert and nervous, "I want you to stay close to be Audin, we will keep each other safe."

As Adonia knelt down to comfort her pet, she still kept her mind on the task at hand, and that was to find a way to get before the Jedi council. "So how would we go about meeting with the counsil anyway?

 

[Syn]

Matsu looked at them both and spoke. "Meeting with the council is complicated I might be able to get one to meet you but them all convening I do not know." Matsu reached out as she tried to sense any of the council on the planet and remained still.

 

[Taoré Timarick]

"When I last heard, I don't think there was a council member on Tython at present time. Our best bet is to head to the Temple on Coruscant to settle the matter. The problem is getting there: My T65 is not going to hold all three of us in its tiny cockpit." he said and reached into his belt, pulling out his communicator and activating it. On the other end was Arfive.

"Arfive, prepare the ship for takeoff. We've got a stop to make on Coruscant." he said into the communicator.

The droid beeped in acknowledgement and set to work. Taoré then looked at his two companions.

"I don't suppose either of you have transport, do you?" he inquired, knowing that even if he DID make it to the Council, two more Jedi, especially a Master, would stand a better chance of being met with an audience.

 

[Darius]

"We do, Master if you would like I will be on my way to prep the ship, it shouldn't be too hard as you just arrived yourself." Adonia was pushed over slightly as Audin got as close as possible to her, he was always a little dramatic when Adonia was in any kind of danger.

 

[Syn]

Matsu looked at Adonia and spoke as she gave a nod. "The ship is always prepped, the crew will handle that. Meet us at the Harlequin and we will make way for Coruscant." Matsu moved as she went towards the hanger. All of their stuff was on the ship thankfully and she didn't know if she would get an audience with the council but well she had nothing better to do.

 

[Taoré Timarick]

within 15 standard minutes, Taoré sat in his X-Wing and looked over at Adonia and Matsu`s craft. His hyperdrive generator was more than adequate for the journey. Since his craft was noticibly smaller than the other 2, he took off first, and watched their craft follow not too far behind.

"Checking in Comm Scan. You guys reading this?" He said, hailing their ship, which was gently easing its way through the atmosphere and into the outer berth of orbit. As Arfive worked the navicomputer for the jump to hyperspace, he locked onto their channel for pickup.
