Matsu Ike

Syn · Jul 19, 2011

"I did not leave the lightside I did not fall or become anything else, those who think so are idiots and fools and deserve pity. I left the jedi because they abandoned their principles and preformed an injustice. Now I am home with the Imperial Knights and will help the people rather then just serve a mad mans ego."
Matsu Ike

"There is no emotion, there is peace. Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
There is no passion, there is serenity. Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken. There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge
There is no death, there is the Force. The Force shall free me."

STRENGTH: llllllllll
Matsu has through intense training gotten to the peak of her own physical strength. Long lessons with Cat and Lamia conditioned her to have if she must strike power behind it.

DEXTERITY: llllllllll
Matsu's speed has always been her greatest asset and with practice she has gotten to her peak able to nearly be a blue with the force augmenting her.

CONSTITUTION: llllllllll
Matsu's health is at its peak through intense training and supplements. She knows how to heal herself both medically and with the force.

INTELLIGENCE: llllllllll
Matsu when she became a knight started to study more often. She learned all she could and through her bonds was never satisfied. She is always on the look out for a new holocron or story from one of her padawans.

WISDOM: llllllllll
Studies history and her goals of being a Loremaster or head librarian of the jedi make her continually seek out knowledge. She'll lead her padawans on small missions to teach them but does not endanger them.

CHARISMA: llllllllll
Matsu's ability to speak has become more versitile. With the help of her friends she has opened up and developed some traits mainly in her speech towards people.

FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
Matsu's greatest strength is her constant thirst for knowledge and hunger to learn all she can. She is always studying and learning from holocrons to better teach her students. This is also her greatest weakness as learning too much is just as dangerous as not knowing. She has no focus and so has never been able to master a form choosing to go with another so she can teach her students if they ask. Her use of exotic and strong force powers at times tear her body apart and she falls unconscious and into coma's if she pushes but normally her nose and eyes bleed. Her physical size presents a disadvantage as a human of her size at the peak of their physical conditioning is still not as strong as others. Matsu can lift with the help of the force double her body weight maybe anything more and she might hurt herself. Her attitude towards most who look at her and argue she learns and studies too much is to simply ignore them and continue training. The council if her ambitions were a problem would stop her or tell her to slow down. She is a master ranked jedi and a teacher rather then a fighter to her it is her duty to learn all she can and pass it on to her students and the other jedi. At times Matsu has shown she is easily inebriated and her mental shields fail allowing other jedi close to her to convince her to do things she wouldn't normally do.

SKILLS:

Thought projection: Matsu projects her thought out through the force, she doesn't always know who can hear them but most of the masters some knights and a few padawans who have learned to listen.

Mind speak: Almost the same as thought projection. Matsu has learned to fully talk through the force to another's mind. If they can answer back or not she does not know.

Thought Shield: Matsu has spent years working to protect her thought behind a wrought iron wall and uses it to contain her emotions.

Quick reflexes: Matsu's reflexes have been trained to be quick like a scorpion sting and precise at the detriment of her strength and knowledge.

Contort: Matsu's size and training allow her a nice amount of bodily movement. She can slip binders off and is appears double jointed in most of her body.

Art of Movement: Matsu has always practiced the art of movement with parkour techniques on Coruscant. Her and Adonia pushed each other to be the best and it shows in her ability to naturally flow into it.

Floating Meditation: Over training in the classroom, Matsu has developed an affinity to hovering. She has practiced outside of the classroom until she learned how to levitate her own body.

Healing Meditation: Matsu has been practicing self healing to spare herself the trips to the medical ward. On her ship she enters a state to repair damage from training.

Nerve strikes: Matsu has spent time learning anatomy of different species to preform the most debilitating strikes quickly and quietly.

Adiabatic shield: A technique Matsu learned to shield herself from heat.

Tapas: A technique Matsu learned when she was little to keep herself warm in the cold landscape of Rhen Var.

Telekinesis: Matsu has shown with calmness a talent for more mental properties of the force.

Pryrokinesis, Hydrokinesis, Cyrokinesis: Matsu has trained with the elements and her students. It is quite strange but her telekinesis skills have improved with her understanding of Alter Environment.

Telepathy: Matsu practiced this as a form of communication before she learned to open up with her friends.

Force Bonds: Matsu has a natural affinity to create force bonds with people she meets. This usually helps in training of her padawans but it also allows her to connect to others in the jedi and Imperial knights.

Force Bond SAIA: Matsu has developed a bond with fellow Padawan Saia Typhelon. They can sense each other and predict what the other is going to do. Other effects are sharing visions and memories, they can feel each others emotions and share their strengths. Matsu's calm and detachment to the elements and Saia's peace via skin contact.

Force Bond CHORA: Matsu has developed a force bond with her lover Chora, they can feel each other across distances although it isn't as strong as with Saia. Matsu can't share visions but she is more intimate with Chora leading to a difference in how the bond functions.

Force Bond FANAI: Matsu created a bond with her one padawan to better teach her. Fanai's abilities augment Matsu but she feeds or tries to feed confidence to the little girl. Her mental cord is a large corn field that is on Matsu's island.

Force Bond LAMIA: With the help of Lamia and their friendship, Matsu's bond with her is less traditional. She looks out for Lamia and Lamia has begun to teach her about ancient Sith culture. This has led to Matsu learning a lightside form of Sith Alchemy.

Force bond NAISA: Matsu's Trandoshan padawan, she has bonded with the female to try and curb her more predatory instincts. Naisa admitted to enjoying hunting people and this concern for her padawan shows. Matsu can use her bond to wash peace into Naisa.

Force bond HALOBURNER: Matsu has a small bond with the feisty blonde, it has manifested in a sort of attraction but more so Halo's personality had rubbed off on Matsu and she has a little more sass and feisty nature.

Force bond MELIRA: Matsu's bond with the selphi has come with a bonus. Since she was walked through it and taught by Melira the bond is not as strong and. They do not feel attractions towards each other but can share memories and information. Matsu also has more of a grasp on Niman.

Force bond MITYA: Matsu secretly bonded with the noble knight on their trip. It wasn't much time together but her bonding latched to her. She gave Matsu a sense of independence and femininity that has translated to Matsu loving her looks in outfits and being fine with what people might say. She also has developed a taste for new things as shown with her first drink of Corellian wine and getting tipsy off a few sips.

Force bond SAKI: Saki's affinity and initial hostility towards Matsu has dissipated into a trust and understanding that formed a bond. Matsu can feel Saki's reserve of force energy and knows how to draw on it not out of anger but a deep personal sense of letting go. Saki screams instead of getting angry and Matsu has gotten better at telekinetic's.

Force bond RISTY: The large Cathar has taught Matsu about comradely and their bond is like a tether Risty is excellent at her senses and Matsu's have begun to act like her crew members getting slightly enhanced same as her reflexes.

Force bond REMY(crew): With her teaching of Remy, Matsu has developed an affinity for the machines of her ship and begin to really understand her droids and how they work. The young twi-lek engineer has also made her very curious and affectionate towards her ship. Giving her a captain mentality when she speaks about it.

Island: An internal place in Matsu's head, it is a large mountainous island that has waves crashing and washing over it and wildfires that burn across the landscape. It is a place of peace for Matsu where she can feel Saia and Chora.

TELEKINETICS: Matsu has through her bonds developed a strong telekinetic ability.

Whirlwind
Repulse
Levitate
Flight
Call
Psychometry
Navigation

Enhanced coordination: Through the use of her force bonds Matsu can coordinate with the others and act as a unit.

Precognition: Not a power Matsu can fully control, she can only sense Saia for the most part but at times Chora. With Chora it is when she is about to do something violent and with Saia it is when she moves or wakes up. They can both feel each other in a fight or when the other is feeling sad or happy.

Alchemy: Thanks to Lamia who is able to, Matsu has a basic understanding of ancient Sith Alchemy. She doesn't try and make anything beyond small trinkets and infuse her swords. Matsu believes that with enough practice the techniques could be used to pour the lightside into equipment.

Comprehension: Matsu with Alchemy has altered her neural processes to work three times as fast. She is able to comprehend more knowledge faster from holocrons and holobooks.

Enhanced Fatigue: Matsu has increased her matural stamina to unheard of level through the use of alchemy and can run and train for far longer periods of time.

Enhanced senses: Matsu with the help of her bond to Risty and the art of the small has enhanced her senses. Namely her hearing, eyesight, touch and smell. She can see a little better in the dark and feeling helps with psychometry. Her enhanced hearing and smelling are for when she is training herself.

Life Sense: Matsu with the powers of her own alchemy has altered her brain chemistry to feel nearby lifeforms. It is small but makes it harder for others to sneak up on her.

Translation: Matsu has with her knowledge integrated the ancient spells to translate text and languages from her ancient amulet.

Extended lifespan: Matsu has with Art of the small enhanced her body to age slower and live longer then normal humans. It takes annual treatments but Matsu can maybe if she is lucky double her lifespan.

Art of the Small: With practice Matsu has trained to focus. She uses it for her ship and clothing changing the colors to suit her needs. It was also how she made her lightsaber crystals.

SHIP:

Ship Name: The Harrowing

A ship secured by Matsu in a deal. She did a few odd jobs for Myra Subach and in exchange was granted a refitted ship for training purposes. Is isn't the strongest but after a few months Myra came back and offered to fully upgrade and refit the ship. An offer Matsu could not turn down after the destruction of the Will of the Force.

The Crew: The Primary crew of the Harrowing and Harlequin are comprised of females and jedi of different flavor. Exiled, current and failed jedi litter Matsu's ship as teachers and students cause she believes they are not lost causes and seeks to instruct them. Six were chosen as her instructors on the Harrowing for their skills and knowledge and a number more to act as students and protectors. The Harrowing might not be the strongest ship in the galaxy but it has a powerhouse under it that all are willing to protect their home. New crew members were signed later and with the help of Myra more then a full compliment of droids for the ship itself, guns, fighters and additional support were added.

Ship Name: The Harlequin

Colors: Black with gold stripes and circles

Matsu acquired this ship while investigating rumors one of the men on her mothers list was on Coruscant. The rumor led her to a dock in the outskirts and she found a small band of smugglers who worked for him. After a fight she liberated the ship and it's protocol droid so she could try and find the man.

The ship is used primarily as a second home for Matsu and has in the main cargo hold her starfighter. She doesn't have an actual crew but her two droids and Karma keep her company.

Matsu has modified the ship with the help of Grace an engineer from Coruscant. The ship now is slightly bigger with more space and three levels.

First level: The bottom level is a cargo bay with six rooms around it that houses equipment and ship systems. The central part is where the Obsidian Butterfly is kept. There is a station for additional astromech droids for use around the ship.

Smuggling compartments: The small but numerous compartments have been opened up to make one large one under the floor plates that is used for food and other cargo.

Second Level: The second level is clearly the main living area for the crew and padawans. There are many bunk rooms for two people each and supply closets. A communications room is located across from the kitchen where Jarachi cooks and Fey sleeps in an alcove. There is a sim deck and armory with a lift that goes up to the third level. The armory is stocked for protection and for when they are transporting alliance personnel.

Smuggling compartments: The small but numerous compartments have been opened up to make one large one under the floor plates that is used for food and other cargo.

Main or third level: The middle level is the main crew area with the bunk rooms now expanded to house three refreshers each and ten bunks on each side. The hallway to the cockpit has been extended and now has ten crew rooms where Matsu sleeps as well as the five person crew and her primes should they so choose. The three other beds are for guests and the beds are larger. The main galley has been redesigned with the computers lining the sides between doors the two cargo bays have been modified one made large for training and lined on the walls with equipment from weapons to additional mats. The second now houses additional supplies including food and energy cells. The bunk rooms have regular bunks but enough space for each padawan to have a locker, foot locker under the bunk and shelf unit that slides opened and closed for them. The table has been made larger to seat all of the people on the ship and the hallway to the ramp has countermeasures in place for unwanted guests. An alcove for JH is present near the cockpit by the navigation computer.

Forth: The upper level is made as a meditation area with space for Matsu to kneel and relax. With the help of several jedi from the temple Matsu has added burners and incense along with other astetics to try and create a place of peace where her padawans can come when they are troubled and meditate.

Ship Type: Heavily modified and upgraded YT-2000 Light Freighter.

HARLEQUIN CREW
Matsu visited the Jedi Explorer corp where she got four jedi in the crop. They were all trained in other fields and could act as a crew for her ship so she had the time to train her padawans. They agreed and the crew was born, they all work together and with the new modifications to the ship and the added space have plenty of room and need on the ship. The crew are trained jedi who failed to get a master. They are fully trained as padawans and know the basics plus what Matsu has taught them from her varied arsenal.

In their travels Matsu met and befriended a young runaway Acolyte named Bellatina. The girl was running away from the sith and had encountered the jedi one of which was Matsu's padawan Sorn. Matsu let her on the crew believing her talents would be useful with knowledge of Sith and Madalorian culture. She holds the rank of Initiate but Matsu treats her like a small unofficial padawan. Others have been recruited from within the jedi ranks mainly the Explorer corp by Matsu to fill in for the growing rate of her ships activity.

Fey: A Human Droid Replica that Matsu has gotten to help out around the ship and act as a defense. Fey is trained to spar with the padawans and uses a red lightsaber. Her purpose is to get them ready to fight a sith.

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p305/Synlidwirh/Sith_Female_by_wildman10-1.jpg?t=1315184788

Sidhe: An iron knight Matsu found, she is programmed to follow Matsu's orders and assist in training. Her purpose is to act as a second set of muscle in place of traditional training dummies.

R7-K2: A jedi temple astromech droid that is used in Matsu's ship. He is mainly support and holds bacta tanks for her injuries. Sometimes he follows her back to her room but mainly he is in the hanger and her ship. R7 has pink and white plating.

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p305/Synlidwirh/SS852074.jpg

JH-41: A protocol droid Matsu got from the Harlequin and had reprogrammed. She serves her mainly by talking with the ship and taking care of it when she is not there. An oddity in that usually droids like this do not have feminine personalities. Matsu thinks of it as a bit of luck. JH has purple plating.

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p305/Synlidwirh/DOT2Dots.jpg

PERSONALITY:

External: Matsu is cold and effective often never speaking and only making the barest of facial expressions. Her eyes are what convey her intentions and her self imposed silence works for dealing with people. She see's it just as effective as flashing her lightsaber for information.

Internal: Internally and mainly at Jedi temples where she is safe, Matsu shows more emotion and a playful nature. A few have even come to call her friend and she values them but knows that off world she can't let emotion get in the way. Her friends could be used against her. So she is detached when away from Jedi worlds.

With friends: When she is alone or with a few friends, Matsu is more open and expressive displaying a girlish nature. Mostly this is around Chora and Saia and no one else but it has been known to slip mainly in her droids color, her fluffy ball of a Voorpak and in her like of pretty things despite wearing black and jedi robes.

Deep seated anger: Matsu despite her demeanor has an angry side, she fights it. After Kessel it really showed through when she felt the heat of her mothers rage and realized how truly vengeful she was. Matsu has thrown herself into the jedi teachings and works harder to embrace the concept of having no anger.

The lover:Matsu has chosen Chora as her lover. It was a hard choice but she choose Chora. Since then she has been more suspicious and careful with her. She was told her fear that Chora being unfaithful was false and that opened new avenues of thought. There were rumors her lover used techniques not of the jedi.

The Burn:Matsu has with her deep connection to Halo begun to make Matsu a little more assertive and sassy. She enjoys a little more teasing and loves the tactile sensations her lovers hair. While she has promised to be monogamous with Chora before that she and her blonde firecracker shared a knight of passion and bonded deeply. Matsu knows th truth her and Halo didn't sleep together in such a physical way more they literally slept together in the same bed because they were tired and too lazy to move. Matsu knows the truth but lets others assume whatever they want about it as she doesn't care who knows her secret preference.

The Free Spirit:Matsu has in secret after her road trip developed a secret enjoyment of her own femininity. She likes stylish cloths and her looks, often finding herself staring into mirrors to compare herself. She is not narcissistic, but through the company of Mitya, she has grown a firm desire be in touch with her feminine side, to look as sexy as the jedi knight she spied in the shower. She wants a firm sexy apple booty.
Mitya's independent nature has also set an example that Matsu wishes to follow. She wants to be strong, not have to rely on anybody but herself, and be secure, so that she can better enjoy life.

The Hunger:Chora had rubbed off on her more it seems, her lovers thirst for knowledge has made Matsu a more vested reader often reading and seeking out knowledge. It might get her in trouble at times but she loves the feeling she gets learning something new and sharing it with the Falleen. There is no better sensation then Chora helping her learn something ancient and it has made her very sensual with her talisman that Lamia has given to her.

BIOGRAPHY:

BIRTH AND EARLY TRAINING:

The room was slightly under-lit and damp as the circle of woman sat around her. The woman was straining and being told to push as a rigid woman stood up with a towel wrapped around a bundle and she wiped the baby off. Gently the child was placed next to the mother and the woman's turned to see her.

"A daughter Oshida you have a daughter."

"Matsu.... my child..."

Slowly the woman frowned as her hand came up and touched the face of the baby. Her hand lightly glowed a golden light while she spoke more.

"You were born innocent Matsu but soon shall have your soul stained. It started nearly two years ago on Dantooine, me and your father came to teach at the local school. We didn't know what they had done what he had planned. He wanted to make money wanted to make a profit and exploit the people so he did, he told them the sith were returning and they could be excluded from the local militia by paying the Alliance. It was a scam and for the price of one thousand credits they could get someones else to fight. The farmers quickly went about it paying but still he wasn't done to sell the con he needed someone to take the blame. So he told them your father was from the Alliance and there to draft them the others worked them into a frenzy so when we arrived they attacked. Your father Matsu was taken with your brother to a shed and killed while I was taken with him. He kept me locked away in their ship bound to a wall with my grief while they counted their blood money. The youngest he wanted my body so he took it with his share but I learned their names, Micah Zeeman, Quinn Callahan, Rhoan Jefferies and Meng Die the bitch of the group."

Slowly Oshida looked around as her face was contorted in anger and she spit the four names as in her eyes their faces burned.

"After they finished with the planet they fled left to Coruscant to separate and disappeared. Rhoan kept me his slave in his shop he opened and made sure I knew I was his to have nightly. He didn't know I had stolen the knife from your brothers back. Didn't know until I had it sticking out of his back and was looking into my eyes but I got caught trying to escape and was sent here."

With a look at the baby Oshida smiled a sadistic grin. She hadn't gotten what she wanted she wanted another son to preform her revenge.

"My daughter you were born for my vengeance such a sad fate but you will avenge us... your brother... your father and me. Your nothing more then a Child of the Netherworld."

The woman around her gasped at the thought as Katagiri stood there in her armor and spoke.

"Do not say that Oshida she is your child she is innocent of your madness."

Oshida made a face that was a sneer and then contorted in pain as her spoke her words coming out like venom.

"Katagiri you thought me a whore when I came here ****ing everything like a mad bitch in heat. I saw it in all your faces my daughter will be my vengeance or I will find a way back. I will come back and kill you all."

Then there was a sound as Oshida broke into a cold sweat and screamed in pain. The woman went to work trying to stop the blood loss as Oshida spoke grabbing the woman and leaning up to stare in her face.

"Swear to me she will be taught Katagiri. Swear to me you will teach her how to do all I cannot."

Katagiri nodded and looked at Oshida as she laid back and was panting the blood loss too much. She didn't know how to refuse a dying woman. As Oshida died outside the window the dust floated and went from white to red coloring as the baby held her hand up towards it. Katagiri looked down and held her up as she spoke.

"What wipes injustice from the world is not pure snow Matsu, it is the blood soaked snow of the Netherworld. You will be trained but I will find out if these people are guilty. Then I will teach you to bring them to Justice."

Slowly the baby fell asleep with a red glow on her face as later that night Katagiri left the prison with the child and went to Rhen Var. There the Imperial Knight climbed a staircase into the mountains and came to a large frozen forest with a temple in it where a bell sounded twelve times. She walked in the snow and came to look at an old man who wore a white robe and black hat he spoke looking at the woman and gave her a colder gaze then the landscape.

"Why have you come back my granddaughter?"

Katagiri flinched at the mans gaze he still put fear in her heart as she spoke finding her voice looking down at Matsu.

"The baby girl her mother asked I train her, I can't take her to the Knights but your dangerous grandfather. Please help me keep a promise to a person on her deathbed."

The old man made a face and came down the stairs so he could look at the child and he gave a small grin. It had been awhile since he had a pupil his granddaughter being secreted away from his teachings in the middle of the night by her mother. He didn't speak just motioned them along and gave them both a warm room and bed. As the time went on the temple livened up with the sounds of a playing child who was made to run through the snow barefoot until she could do a lap without stopping.

Matsu was born in a prison ward on Kessel to her convict mother and a prison guard who would not be named. As she sat in her mothers arms something happened and her mother hemorrhaged bleeding to death as she recalled a tale of deceit and murder that landed her in prison and slowly as her mother died Matsu was carried to the medical wing of the Imperial facility where she was checked. Later that night an Imperial Knight named Katagiri carried her away as her adoptive daughter to train.

For the next several years until she was a young child Matsu trained and was taught by Katagiri and the warrior priest Dokia how to fight and serve the Imperial knights. In exchange her master would do all she could to find the men her mother hated and tried to kill and deliver justice if they deserved it. Over the years Matsu was made to endure daily exercise and sword training in the heat, snow, rain and dust-storms as she was stripped naked and made to endure not just the strikes from her masters but the elements.

As she was trained Matsu was told over and over almost daily by Katagiri the story her mother told. She was a child of death something made for only one goal and would be trained as such. "You have a destiny; forget joy, forget sorrow, forget love and hate, forget everything except vengeance!" Those were the words that got drilled into her head daily until she could repeat them on queue and until she was ready wouldn't be allowed to leave and hunt down the men.

"Matsu you have done well but your training is not nearly complete. We must make you into your destiny so that your families killers will be punished.

Slowly the man sounded the bell as a woman in red armor stood off to the side and looked on. Slowly Matsu heard the man as the bell chimed for the third time.

"Tell me Matsu, as a child of the Netherworld what is the first thing you remember?"

With a look Matsu tilted her head up as her face was slack and her eyes fierce. She remembered much mainly the mans intense training as her words came out and she kept kneeling in the snow.

"I remember my birth, I remember a room with woman looking at me and my mother as she spoke." "Matsu my daughter you were born to fulfill my vengeance. Such a sad fate for a child..... a child of the Netherworld.

Slowly as she spoke the bell chimed for the final time as Matsu looked at the man who motioned for her to continue.

"I remember master Katagiri bringing me to you after she was released. She and you have told me what i am everyday since I was a baby."

The man looked at Matsu as he walked forward and stood over her and took out a wooden stick. Slowly he held it over her shoulder as he brought it down and spoke until she had welts but didn't cry out and the man held a rope out to her. Slowly Matsu tied it around her waist as she stood and felt the bite of the snow before he struck at her again. Quickly she dodged as he struck at her again and again each time faster and faster.

"You have a destiny; forget joy, forget sorrow, forget love and hate, forget everything except vengeance!"

As the man spoke Matsu looked up at him and dodged his strike with a roll and he caught her lip with a splinter that drew blood dripping it into the snow as she looked up and her eyes showed a resolve to defeat the man. Slowly Matsu stood up as he struck at her and she kicked up cracking the stick and she watched the broken end land away in the snow. Slowly Matsu circled and ran at the man pounding on his stomach as she silently screamed. She wasn't ever supposed to make a sound as she felt Katagiri's arms around her and pull her away.

At other times she would jump into a barrel and be kicked down a hill to teach her how to remain calm and if she fell out of the barrel she was forced to do it over again until she was able to do ten in a row. Soon she was trained in how to use the force minutely unless she attract unwanted attention from outsiders. For her tenth birthday she was given a lightsaber hilt that would be used to get both her mother justice and serve the Emperor and the force; but all was not well as late at night a raiding party descended on the farmstead and the prison warden called for aid from the nearest forces before he was shot and Matsu fought with her wooden stick until Katagiri secreted her away again to a tree stump where she hid until her master disappeared and several robed men picked her up after the fires burned the farmstead and they took her to Tython.

Then something happened as from the sky fire came and ships. Matsu was ten years old and she stood in a kimono and ran with Katagiri and Dokai into the woods. She was placed under some fallen trees and made to be safe while they fought. But that wasn't all in the vision there was something else there a woman in gold who radiated heat and angry behind Matsu who was crouching in the trees and Oshida watched as she protected her daughter with all her strength. Nothing would stop her vengeance and when the skies cleared of ship and the sun broke through to show the ruined temple. They came the jedi in their robes and found her clutching Katagiri's lightsaber.

THE JEDI:

Matsu didn't know what to think about her new surroundings, she was a year or two older then the others around her but some people said that her previous training helped. As she clenched her lightsaber hilt and looked around as a few people tried to befriend her but she just gave them a silent stare before a tall man entered and divided the younglings into three groups. They were to be taken to the different people and she stood in her white and brown tunic holding a training saber as her combat instincts kicked in. She managed a single strike to her teachers head as she jumped up and over, his head coming around. Matsu tilted her head to the side as she got some applause and cheers but was told she was using aggression and that was dangerous.

Over the next few years Matsu continued to train never speaking a work to the other students but on the few moments when she was with the masters she would speak a brief word when complimented or project her thoughts in surrounded. Her shyness never ceased the entire time she was there as she was given at the age of sixteen to a master and taught several force powers but she remained ever the silent sentry projecting her thoughts to her master on mission and typing out her reports for the council if needed as she trained with her new lightsaber and a dark midnight blue blade from a crystal she had found that nearly matched her tunic and leathers she had for training purposes.

When Matsu was able to have alone time she trained herself in speed and agility often to painful ends that got her sent to the medical bay because she would never cry out when it got to be too much and slowly she developed a high pain threshold as she continued and pushed herself to be the fastest of her class of padawans. Slowly as she trained Matsu began to get less and less bruises and cuts as she at the age of twenty she still continues to train in preparation for her trials.

Nine years after the Imperial purge Matsu continued to train and attend classes, she developed a friendship with Adonia, a fellow padawan who had been working for years to befriend Matsu. Slowly they became and acted more like friends going into the mess hall after Adonia received a broken rib in a class. Matsu met several other padawans including a friend of Adonia's named Chora. The green skinned padawan was angry and upset about something but Matsu didn't know what. Slowly she met a jedi knight named Makara. After the dinner Matsu visited the library to learn about being a jedi shadow something that interested her. She researched the powers she would have to learn to be considered a shadow, slowly Matsu also looked at how to fly as she wanted to impress Adonia.

The next day Matsu met with Adonia for a training session and the two competed in a race as the two ran through the temple and the streets of Coruscant. The two free ran for an hour or more throughout the city and got onto a transport that was bringing supplies to the academy. Slowly as they returned Matsu and Adonia began to see who was better with a blade and Matsu tied by deactivating her saber and holding it to her friends chest as Adonia stopped near her neck. It was a double death blow and after that they talked a little mainly about what they wanted to do as knights and what adventures they might go on. The day finished with Matsu attending a class about Politics and Negotiations. She learned a lot but half way through it seemed to stall out.

Matsu made a major move though and relocated to Tython and studied aboard the Will of the Force more the Floating Meditation. She practiced with objects and herself for days and nights until she was able to float somewhat at will after concentration. When she went down to Tython Matsu experienced a world rich in history she enjoyed the serene landscape and the people there. Slowly Matsu attended more classes and trained her powers, she met several more padawans. Finding a friend is Saia and even in Chora who seemed to open up. Matsu also met another padawan named Kelly Cross who had been on Tython for ten years. The padawan seemed angry about it which Matsu didn't understand completely. She had been picked up and kept on Coruscant for ten years only really being allowed to leave now to study.

For several weeks Matsu studied on Tython and got to know the people more. Mainly Chora and Saia but she met a plethora of other padawans including a wookiee who spoke through the force. She also met a Selkath who came out into the snow to meet her and Chora. Saia soon joined them and a snowball fight began with all sides except Matsu being in bulky clothing. Matsu also met a jedi padawan named James Blackwind who's master was killed in a crash and joined him on a mission to Hoth where she encountered a dark jedi and soldiers who were after a pirate named Dantell. When Matsu returned to Coruscant for her studies and to relax she journeyed around the city and found a nice tattoo parlor where she saw a beautiful image and entered. She got it put on her back and shoulder and thanked the artist and left with high spirits.

Matsu undertook a mission to capture a CEO who was selling secret and weapons to the Imperial Empire. She went with padawan Sera and Jedi Knight Christian Noble. The two Matsu would admit were strange Christian seemed to have an air of not being serous but Matsu saw him be serious. Sera on the other hand seemed to be too serious but she was skilled with her staff. After they caught the CEO Matsu returned to Tython for further studies. She attended a few classes but mainly studied to become a shadow. She made a check list of the powers she would need to learn to be a successful jedi shadow.

Matsu signed up for a large padawan field trip. They were going to go to a planet with saber crystals for the ones who didn't have a lightsaber. When she arrived at the transport she saw a lot of padawans she knew and Master Christian. As well as Saia and Chora and Matsu's heart skipped a beat as she sat down in the ship and expected Saia to join her but instead happened upon Chora who she held the trip. The Falleen fell asleep on her shoulder and Matsu smiled holding her close. When the transport arrived Matsu revealed to the others her new tattoo as the desert planets heat was high and she removed her coat and tunic leaving her sarashi. She also tried to make sure she was with the two girls who meant the world to her as she took Saia's hand and smiled at Chora. She didn't know how they would be together but Chora had an allure that was hard to resist.

As they marched through the desert Matsu remained by Chora's side until she saw Saia stop and could feel her brooding. Akacen still wasn't getting it and as she walked over with Chora offered her friend some encouragement. Akacen would come around eventually or he was an idiot or third option if he couldn't figure it out. Matsu would take him and make some it was pounded into his thick skull. As the three girls continued through the desert next to each other they came across the cave and it was surrounded by a market place. Matsu and Saia stayed close while Chora and the others went through and Chora went shopping. Saia stopped by a stall and was squealing like a girl at the sight of the cutest Voorpak that Matsu would admit had her excited too but she was well a little too rigid to say it. Slowly Matsu explained to Saia they couldn't afford it at the moment and Saia held her hands for the first time.... it felt good and Matsu noticed her skin glistening with sweat. Then quickly Saia was off running taking Matsu with her to the cave entrance where Matsu felt the cool breeze on her skin.

The entrance to the cave was fine but inside there were a bunch of Gran mercenaries. Matsu and Saia tried to be calm as Christian walked forward to talk with their leader. The other tensed and were ready to attack and when Christians force signature went into distress. The other began to run forward while more mercenaries swarmed them, their weapons were set to stun and Matsu and Saia both attempted to keep things calm while Chora, Kemp and Akacen began to fight the Gran. Saia took off to try and find the Gran leader as Matsu followed her, she didn't want to kill the creatures but she could knock them out. So Matsu used her body to knock out the gran and her saber to deflect the blaster bolts back at them.

[more to come]

KESSEL THE RETURN HOME:

Matsu had prepared herself, the mission when she accepted it was simple find out if the guards were corrupt and turn them over to Alliance authority. What she hadn't told her masters when they allowed her to go was she had another motive. She was confused and felt strange but when she saw it posted to go to Kessel something called to Matsu. The prodigal daughter returns home and she checked where she was going. Jailhouse 41 was where her mother had been she worked with the Alliance to give her the same cell but they didn't know why. "One cell is as damp and bare as the next." They said but Matsu needed to be there she needed to learn her past. Katagiri was a good person but she hadn't told Matsu anything other then the story her mother told her. She wanted to find out information of the man who was her father.

When she arrived at the ship she was met by Chora who was coming also. Matsu didn't know that her friend was coming but she was glad for it. Chora could help her out and keep Matsu from making a mistake if she found what she was looking for. As they sailed through space Matsu mentally prepared herself for the planet many called hell and did everything she could to get ready. for a month her and Chora prepared exercising daily and getting booster shots. The spice and heat, mixed with poor food and constant wet floors would play hell with their systems. Matsu also marveled at Chora the woman was doing this to help her out, willing to walk into hell itself for her. She was beautiful more so then ever and Matsu would have to find a way to thank her when it was over, a simple thank you didn't seem to match the weight of gratitude she would have on her shoulders.

Soon they arrived after a botched prison break and Matsu was placed on the same cell as her mother. She even had the same style outfit. She was home where it all began. Slowly she regaled a tale of anger and woe. How she was born with a purpose to carry out the vengeance denied her mother. She told this to Chora who listened like a true friend. Matsu's head was swimming and her temple was pulsing, it seemed like something was there beneath the surface and on the way in she had felt something. A presence in the back of her mind that was angry and full of rage but also so familiar, Matsu guessed it was imprints of her mother left on the wall and in the halls. She had spent nearly a year in Kessel and stewed in her own lust for vengeance. So Matsu observed and tried to feel as she did, occasionally she would get a look from the older guards like they knew her face. They would comment and point but not speak then she saw the Warden and he stared at her long at processing. Slowly they were sent to their cell her and Chora.

As Matsu and Chora stayed in their cell waiting to be called into the mines the Falleen used her pheromones and charms to comfort Matsu who was feeling uneasy. For the few hours they had until their shift they made love on the damp and dirty floor of the prison cell her mother had been in and Matsu had never felt more happy. As she laid there nestled in Chora's arms Matsu jut breathed deep the scent of spice and Chora, Matsu relaxed and stayed there for the time until she remembered to hide the lightsabers and beacon. Quickly Matsu moved to hide them and she made a hole in the stone wall, she rejoined Chora and embraced the woman as they got dressed and listened for several minutes to the beats of her heart before a guard came and disturbed them.

Slowly Matsu and Chora were led from their cell to Jail House 41 an entrance to the mines and main prison of the asteroid. Matsu tried to sense but her senses were dulled by the overwhelming scent of spice and sweat and decay. Kessel really was hell and the smell of death hung in the heated air, Matsu then entered the airlock a room that separated the cells from the prison and she changed into a thermal suit. Her and Chora were in it now and learned the rules. They would work the mines for their shift and bring what spice they can. If they failed to bring in any they would be beaten and thrown in their cell. With a passive face Matsu walked with the other prisoners and felt her ass be smacked by a guard as she walked by.... then she felt Chora get angry and was glad she held her temper. There would be time and Matsu had learned the guards were armed. She slowly coming out on the other side realized how the temperature was shifting. in some places it was hot and in others it was cold.

When they got to the main mine Matsu stood with Chora and reached out with the force trying to sense the med bay, she didn't know which way to go but the other prisoners were going to the left so she decided to follow. A hapless prisoner died going down another path and Matsu didn't know if they could fight the spiders off and maintain their cover. Slowly Matsu and Chora walked hand in hand and came upon the other prisoners, they decided to make a break for it and Chora began a fight to distract the guards that were there as she and Matsu ran off down a tunnel. At the end of the tunnel Matsu stopped and stood looking around the maze like mine and reached out again. It was quiet here and she thought she felt something.... like a ghost or memory. Now she is on her search for the medical bay.

The search for the medical bay continued as Matsu and Chora went through the tunnels. They encountered a sleeping energy spider and slowly walked past it as they went on their way. Matsu could feel something and continued to see flashes of her mother throughout the prison mostly it was images of what her mother did in her quest for vengeance. When Matsu and Chora got to the older sections of the mine where the prison used to have a sub station. Matsu found where she was born. The room was how she remembered with rough rock walls and dim light, a high window that showed dust floating across it that looked like snowfall in the light. As Matsu felt something deep in her chest she looked up and saw the dust change color like it had when she was born and look like snow stained in blood. A fitting sight for her. She explained to Chora with tears in her eyes for the first time since she was a child why she what she was called growing up. A child of the Netherworld born for one purpose and no future. Chora held her as Matsu sniffled eventually regaining her composure as she looked around the room.

After Matsu regained her steely gaze she began to search around the abandoned facility. The place was in shambles but stuff still worked and Matsu slowly explored. She found a few journals and some information on a computer. When she heard a sound her head shot up and stared into the face of a guard who walked away. He either had seen her and didn't care or hadn't seen her there in the dim light. Chora went after him and Matsu followed stumbling and finding a holorecorder as she approached the man who was being manhandled by Chora. He seemed scared mostly towards her, like he had seen a ghost and his file said he had guilty feelings and was easily scared. Matsu didn't know what to do but she could press him for information.

As Matsu and Chora attempted to mind trick the guard, Chora went angry and attacked him. Matsu hadn't expected it and as she got memory flashes from the man and realized who she should have been really after. Slowly Matsu spoke to the man who was her father and wrapped his hand that had severed an artery. He gave her a journal that he had recorded what the warden had done. Matsu knew she would have to arrest him then and worried about Chora, the darkness and anger of the planet seemed to be getting into her. Matsu could even feel it in her pores as she and Chora carried her father back to the central chamber and ran down a tunnel. They encountered one of the energy spiders and Matsu and Chora ran the other way as they got in with the returning prisoners and were brutally sent tumbling into their cell.

Kaji2BMeiko2Bin2BFemale2BPrisoner2B237012BScorpion-1.jpg

As Matsu and Chora sat in the cell, Matsu embraced the woman as she tried to make sense of what had happened. She had found her father who wasn't the villain she thought. Chora had embraced the darkside at least for the moment but she could save her. Matsu got up and went over as she looked at the journal and spoke to Chora who had went to meditate. Matsu could feel whatever Chora was meditating on. The emotions washed over her like a heat and curled around her as she got up and walked over straddling her lover and pleading with her to stay in the light if for no other reason then to be with her. Matsu hoped her plea would work as she looked on and listened kissing Chora and pressing her head to hers as she tried to reach the part of Chora she cared for the good she had seen and the friend in the snow of Tython.

Matsu and Chora were taken back into the mine, the pair needed to find evidence of the Wardens corruption and so they headed for the offices. When they got there Matsu incapacitated the guard before Chora could kill him and went through the vents towards the mans office. Chora took some armor and weapons and caused a distraction as Matsu got the warden and began to search his office. She heard the fighting and opened the door using the warden as a shield. Matsu got Chora inside and used what skill she had with force healing to help. As Matsu got Chora into the room she and her both prepared to run for it. They had failed in their mission to infiltrate but as Matsu rushed through the vents and back to the cell it didn't matter. They had gotten the evidence and Matsu activated the beacon to get them retrieved.

After the Alliance arrived and Matsu and Chora helped arrest the Warden and Guards. The two spent the return trip in a room just sleeping in the bed and showering. It had been nearly two weeks from start when they were in the prison cell on the Alliance ship to now and the two were happy to be free. Matsu had waited while Chora showered and later she took hers. It felt good to get all the dirt and grime off her body as she finished and breathed deep the smell of Chora now no longer intermingled with the scent of spice and sweat. Matsu also had a number of things including the holorecorder and information about her mother. She had her father there and he was cooperating with the Alliance. Slowly Matsu prepared for the return trip to Coruscant and she was content to lay there in the bed with Chora holding her. She had kept her prison uniform as a reminder of her mother and got it cleaned enough to be kept in her closet.

RETURN FROM HELL:

A week after Matsu returned from Kessel she found herself on a planet in the outer rim, it was a jedi stronghold world. There she met a woman in a veil named Lamia who was a Sith, not the religion but the actual species. She seemed strange but Matsu was willing to trust her. She wanted to prove her people were more then their past and that made Matsu agree. She wanted to prove she was more then just her mothers vengeance. She wanted a life beyond herself. This thought brought her to Kara Vaalki who was teaching a class. Although teaching may have not been the choice word. She seemed rather open about her own past and encouraged the others to share. She was strong and sassy was the best term to describe her. Matsu didn't know what else to think as she listened to the lesson. She still had what she learned from Kessel and decided it was time to explore its implications.

So Matsu returned to Coruscant and began to train more openly but still by herself. She hadn't seen Chora for awhile or Saia but when there was a big event planned she helped out in organizing it. A large padawan run through the undercity of Coruscant and all the way to the temple to learned the art of movement. When she arrived in the morning Matsu saw Saia but her friend was concentrating on the moment and playing music in her headset to run too. As much as Matsu wanted to just embrace her friend she didn't and began the run. They went through the undercity to a building parking garage and then through the Coco and senatorial districts of Coruscant until they came to the great expanse around the jedi temple and ran at it.

Soon Matsu's time on Coruscant was done and she returned to Tython on the Will of the Force and was asked by Saia to join her and Akacen in a duel. The three met in a room and the fight began, Matsu wanted to see how much Saia had improved since their first duel on Tython but she had to get Akacen out of the way first. She also wanted to talk with Saia and needed to do it in private. Their bond was strong and they seemed to be able to predict each other, Matsu could even feel at times Saia's thoughts as they went about the fight. What Matsu hadn't counted on was Akacen knowing how to block her Malacia but he did and even tried to reverse it. So when the fight actually started Matsu took flight she knew Saia could predict her technique with Falling leaf but she had a few other thoughts mainly after seeing Chora fight on Kessel her lovers temperament and fiery spirit had led her through hell and now she used that to her advantage mixing in flowing water and her speed. She might not be the strongest but her and Saia were the fastest there and if only she could coordinate with her friend that.

As the fight on the Will of the Force continued, Matsu and Saia became more coordinated in their attack on Akacen. While Saia was pacing herself Matsu was using the force to fight, she would throw out a push and Akacen would negate it with his own. Slowly her chest burned from exhaustion but she kept pushing cause she knew how to endure where Akacen was a kid and had been matching her force power for force power. He would be just as if not more then her thanks to his other powers augmenting his strikes and defense. When Matsu and Saia both got close enough Matsu jumped at him with her knees and elbows ready to knock him out of the fight so she and Saia could fight. Turn a three way into a two way duel as it were and Matsu wanted to see how they would both do, she could feel Saia's attacks same as Saia could feel hers.

As the fight continued on Saia and Matsu went at it while Akacen backed out exhausted. Saia and Matsu kept at each other until Matsu leaned against a wall when Saia didn't want to press with Akacen out. Her affection for him let Matsu rest as the fight went on, when Saia leapt at her and tried to hold her to a wall Matsu reached out and sensed nothing major as she remained still and trusted Saia to not harm her. As Saia landed the saber deactivated and Saia fell on her but as Matsu felt the heat of the saber and smiled. She had been correct and sat down helping Saia up as she held her friend. She smiled because in her mind she had won and showed Saia there was more then one way to win. Saia then told Akacen something and stayed there with Matsu for a while longer. Matsu on a small return trip met with Lamia again and was happy to see that the others were accepting her. She hoped the woman achieved her goal of showing her species wasn't just evil but had the capacity for good as well.

The next few weeks were eventful, Matsu helped another padawan build his lightsaber, she was taught by the battlemaster and she gained a master in Remy. Her master was going to teach her saber skills on Tython and Matsu was eager, she had been told that several others were being trained so she waited on Tython in the forest until her master arrived. Then on the Will of the Force Saia and Matsu trained together on the trip to Coruscant. They practiced control and Matsu explored her bond with Saia as she floated and held the girl. She had earlier in the session admitted to Saia how she felt and kissed her. As Saia cuddled next to her she had a force vision and Matsu felt it through their bond. Saia lost her place and fell to the floor where she kneeled and asked Matsu to meet her later on Coruscant. Matsu agreed and just held her friend until Saia left. She hadn't been rejected and Akacens actions were wearing Saia down. He either didn't get it or he didn't like her and wouldn't say it either way Matsu was the one he was driving her too and the small kiss she had on her neck was cherished as well as the scent and feel of her pressed close just floating.

Matsu eventually got a master in Remy, the older knight was mysterious and strong. She had come out of no where and taken up several padawans mainly Matsu and Saia. Matsu met her in the forests of Tython where she talked with her master and trained her better to use her saber. Remy was strong and fast but surprised when Matsu used Malacia in the fight, it wasn't strong but it had shown she wasn't just an average padawan. After their fight Matsu and Remy talked about a few things, mainly her connection to Saia, her past, James and how he sacrificed himself for her to escape on Hoth. They talked about how Matsu's past was a dangerous thing to reflect on, her mothers vengeance was like a poison. Slowly Remy sensed something in Matsu but didn't comment as they walked more through the forest.

Matsu was homesick if one can get that in the jedi and she returned to Coruscant where she rested up. Saia came to visit her and the two shared something more, the vision from the Will of the Force was stronger between them and Matsu saw Saia's dream while Saia saw Matsu's force vision from Kessel. The pain they felt from it was minimal as they awoke from the vision and slept, Saia was worn out and Matsu just held her friend who had curled into the fetal position. When they awoke Matsu and Saia got dressed and went out on the town, with a monthly stipend Matsu received from Katagiri's death she bought for her and Saia pet Voorpaks. The pair mused about getting something for Akacen but thought better of it as they left and went towards a droid shop. Inside Saia looked at a shield gauntlet and had thought of something but wouldn't say. As they continued Saia talked with the Neimodian as she haggled for a droid that was in Matsu's opinion scrap but the droid made Saia happy so Matsu bought it. She wanted her friend to be happy after her dealing with Akacen who still seemed to ignore her.

Later that night the pair stayed in Matsu's room and had a late night, they talked and tried again to share a vision. It failed but they could feel their bond open more as their bodies attuned to each other. They slept the night away and in the morning Matsu got up early and got them both breakfast. As they ate Matsu and Saia both decided to go and practice, Saia wanted to try a new idea she had for a weapon and Matsu just wanted to be with her friend. If fighting let that happen then so be it, as they entered the room Matsu locked it and stripped down to her Sarashi. She wanted this to be an even duel and both girls wore a full body wrap. Saia started with a sword and shield and Matsu stayed with a training saber, as the match went on Saia and Matsu dueled through the day. They went for over twelve hours and when it was dark Matsu and Saia were still going using only the power of their bond instead of the force. Matsu seemed to have Saia on the ropes who was working the defense, then she switched up her tactics as she ditched the shield and grabbed a spear style weapon.

The weapon was impressive and Saia's skill with it surprised Matsu but she had thought of something new also. Matsu grabbed a sword with a line taken out of the middle and they fought more, the battle went on until Matsu caught Saia's blade and had her again. Then Saia surprised her again. Saia tackled and punched her to the floor and Matsu took her opportunity and kissed her friend. As she laid there on her back looking up at Saia, Matsu could feel her conflict and then Saia kissed her back and Matsu's breathe caught when Saia pulled back. They were both sweating and the sarashi wrap was clinging to their bodies as Matsu got up and Saia went back to her room after grabbing some food. Matsu asked Saia to help protect her as she laid on the bed from her vengeance, Saia said Matsu was different and that she would be safe. Both were wearing their robes but nothing else. Their clothing was being washed by the housekeeping droids and Matsu laid Saia back straddling her she looked down the length of Saia's body and her breath caught in her throat. Her heart was beating so fast as Saia nodded to her and Matsu opened her robe spilling her sun-kissed flesh on her bed. Matsu opened her robe and led Saia to the head of her bed and kissed her plunging her tongue into her mouth. They didn't do more then that beyond stripping the robes off, Matsu was to nervous about scaring the woman who only now was letting her kiss her. So Matsu just caressed her skin and enjoyed the touch of Saia's warm body pressed against her.

They awoke in the morning and Matsu decided to do something with Saia about Probie her droid. They would try and get the parts to fix him at the temple but he would need more. Matsu watched as Saia got up in her room and she felt contentment. Chora was still her lover her girlfriend when they could sneak away together but Saia she had in her head. So Matsu watched and decided that she could love more then one person in her life. She got what she needed from both girls and after they got dressed Matsu and Saia went to breakfast taking Probie, R7 and their pet Voorpaks named Karma and Fluffy. As they ate Matsu and Saia talked more about what they would do and when Saia was going to leave for Tython. She and Saia only had one more day together unless Matsu was going to leave for Tython also, Matsu decided she would if only because there wasn't much she needed on Coruscant and Chora was on Tython also. After their food they went to the hanger to find the parts from the maintenance people who worked on the temple astromech droids. Matsu also brought a cloth and the paint she had bought for Probie.

After Probie was fixed and painted Matsu and Saia went to the garden of the temple where Matsu tried something. She wanted to spend time with Saia on a date or at least the jedi equivalent. She wasn't very good and rather clumsy with her words when she admitted she wanted to be with Saia more. They may have slept in the same bed but Matsu wanted to... wanted to... She wanted to take Saia out to a meal, she wanted to feed her strawberries and whip cream and hold her hand. Saia seemed sorry for Matsu, she seemed to feel the same way but didn't want to do that. Slowly they went back to Matsu's room and Matsu gave Saia her gift. It was the hilt for a lightsaber club that was nearly half their size and Saia was happy about it. Matsu had polished it to a silver shine and as she set it between them went to her knees on her bed. She and Saia talked a little more and Matsu cradled her face wishing she could be with her friend, Saia let her and slowly over the course of the day and night until they went to sleep Matsu and Saia made love. They explored each other with their lips and hands but also with the force through their bond. It was a sensory overload as Matsu fell asleep in her bed holding the younger woman and she buried her face in the scent of her hair. In the morning Matsu didn't wake up until Saia had left her room and departed on the Will of the Force.

CHAI LA:

Matsu spent sometime after her and Saia week on Coruscant doing odd things. She wanted to learn how to fight in hand to hand combat and tried to study holovids but didn't learn much. She knew the best fighters were the Mandalorians an d the Echani but wasn't able to get authorization for a trip by herself. She did however find out about a training mission held on the Kushari world and signed up. As she sat in the ship that took them there and noticed the other padawans who had come namely Kemp, Saia, the one from the Coruscant race, Hal and another she had not seen before. [Cat] There was also a Kiffar jedi knight with them. When the ship touched down Matsu disembarked with the others and felt the icy sting of the world. THe Kushari were big and she with the others were led into their quarters. There they got their equipment including weapons and armor, the armor was bigger then Matsu and when she followed the instructions to get it on was loose in it. The leader Keller said she would be fine and she believed him as she stood there and waited to get tested to make sure the armor was secure.

Matsu after she was in the armor told to strip off parts same as Saia, Keller saw how big the standard armor was on the girls and made a decision. Matsu got additional winter gear and pads to go with her weapons as she followed Keller to the training grounds where another ground of Kushari had ammo for them. She looked at the men and nodded, she was going to go through this and get better at leading soldiers. She didn't want to endanger Alliance soldiers in a real fight when it came to it. [more to come]

[part three of Warfighter]

Matsu after Project Warfighter had returned to Tython, she felt stronger and ready to tackle her classes. As she walked the halls and entered the training rooms Matsu met Kelly Cross again, she was angry more so then Matsu remembered and destroying droids. Matsu tried to befriend her again but she felt the heat of her anger and instead gave her an outlet while they dueled. Matsu talked with Kelly during the duel and tried to help her calm down but it was to no avail. When the duel seemed to be reaching an apex another padawan stopped it after Kelly's saber went wide from her hand. His name was Andre and he was like Kelly in more ways then Matsu was. So she just sat there and listened to Kelly before calmly leaving taking a training saber with her.

After she dueled Kelly Matsu went to a few classes, the subjects were getting easier thanks to master Remy's teachings and her own. Matsu had been concentrating on the Will of the Force and let her temper show. She had gotten news about her list of names and knew where one of them was. Micah Zeeman was a weapons dealer on Nar Shadda with the Hutts. The money he had made from her father and brother dying had helped him by Hutt protection. She wasn't allowed to go there alone so she was pissed. When she finally stopped Matsu tried to concentrate and regain her peace. Kelly came in there and joined her which was unexpected. Matsu had thought she did the wrong thing walking away. They talked and Matsu felt they made some progress to being friends.

She found herself with Karma running through the woods and jumping from tree to tree. As she was jumping Matsu came across another padawan who was floating and she stopped looking at him with a grin and spoke. They talked for a bit as two others came out, the boy was a miraluka, the other wore a hood and called himself Arek the third was a large droid called Sigil. Sigil was a shard a living force crystal and Matsu talked with them while she floated and fed Karma. They asked her where she was from to which she answered Hell. This sparked more questions to which she answered before asking Arek about his hood. He seemed to reel away from her curiosity and changed the subject.

As the day progressed Matsu found herself watching the sun set and was joined by a woman named Samara. She was a new padawan and had a large Nexu as a pet. She wasn't very trained in the force like Matsu but was willing to share. Matsu would teach her how to do small things padawans knew and she would show Matsu how to focus her energy. That her Nexu seemed to want to eat at first Karma gave Matsu only a little pause but when Samara moved a rock for her to stand on rather then levitate she endeared herself to Matsu some. After meeting with Samara Matsu made her way to Empress Teta to meet with other padawans for a trip with Master Mitya. She was a slightly older but pretty jedi and Matsu was overjoyed when she saw that Saia and Chora were both coming. She also met Haloburner Lamb a fellow padawan of master Remy and well she seemed to like making fun of Akacen

Matsu thanks to her prodding found someone willing to teach her hand to hand combat in the form of the new Jedi Knight Cat who Matsu recognized from Project Warfighter and Teras Kasi. It was a hand to hand technique for fighting force users and when she entered he asked her what moves she had wanted to learn. Matsu answered and Cat showed her the Leaping Veermok and Rancor Rising. After Matsu practiced the techniques the pairs spared with Cat holding back for two reasons. The one being Matsu was easy for him to overpower and unintentionally hurt with a strike and two because he wanted to see she how much she remembered not win. After her training session with Cat, Matsu went to Tython's fields and met Chora. Her lover and friend didn't look healthy with her once beautiful shine now darkened but Chora taught Matsu force cloak as a favor between them. Matsu was well on her way to becoming a knight and those closest to her knew it.

Then a few days later Matsu received a message from Master Remy, she was to go to Coruscant and wait for Remy to arrive, take it easy or do a mission for the local police. Just be at the temple when Remy got there was all she had to do. So Matsu returned to Coruscant on the Will of the Force, it was there she met three new padawans and watched the one. Named Apollo injure himself in a practice of his stance, Matsu offered to help and the others came in. They brought up the idea of a tag duel and Matsu agreed getting Apollo as her opponent. The two fought with Apollo using duel sabers in the fight, he was strong but didn't seem to get more beyond striking and Matsu used her powers to jump around the room and out move him. In the end he conceded when she charged him with a flying veermor and Matsu stopped watching the other two while she bowed to Apollo for his skill in the duel.

While waiting around on Coruscant Matsu accepted a mission with the police to help out around the city. She was led to a city highrise where an old womans cat had gotten stuck in a tree. It took a few tries but Matsu go the cat out without real harm and thanked the woman for not hitting her with a cane for her sloppy time. As she was heading back Matsu got a message from R7 and took off for the docks. Quinn Callahan's ship had come in well she hoped he would be there. He wasn't but the smugglers using his ship were and she along with Sorn and Akacen fought them. In the end after they incapacitated the thugs Matsu went into the ship finding a droid and locked navicomputer. Sorn got the computer unlocked and Matsu had the ship impounded and taken to the jedi temple. As the ship was being taken to the temple Matsu talked a little with Akacen and Sorn giving Akacen a friendly kiss on the cheek for helping. He had grown since their trip and she finished with a wink.

After the ship was taken to the temple Matsu spent what money she could to get the systems repaired after Sorn had gotten a little zealous. It was costly but compared to her own ship she could live on instead of a cramped fighter she was happy. Slowly over he course of waiting for Maste Remy to arrive Matsu heard stirrings about the council preparing something and she continued to work on her ship. It took time and effort but in the end she knew her baby inside and out thanks to JH-41 and R7. A few mechanics helped double check her work but as Matsu sat in the cockpit of her ship she smiled satisfied she had done the work on her own. She moved her stuff into the ship taking one of the bunk rooms and stowing her starfighter in the first cargo bay. The design of the ship was simple and Matsu converted the second cargo bay into a dojo for training and meditating.

JEDI KNIGHT:

Matsu after several weeks of intense training under Remy was taken to the council chamber on Coruscant. There she was led into a dark room and surrounded by the jedi council. The grandmaster talked to her and severed her padawan braid from her sea of hair. As she exited the room and got to stand before Remy. She embraced the woman who was no longer her master but instead her friend. As Matsu left the temple she didn't tell many people she had been promoted. The first ones who would find out would be Chora and Saia. After she sent them the message Matsu used her free time to train as a jedi shadow. She also trained in the more unique techniques of Crucitorn and remain conscious. She was going to be able to endure under stress and pain. Matsu with the help of a few jedi taught herself how to properly fly with levitation and soured through the streets of Coruscant at night feeling the wind in her hair. Slowly after a few weeks it came time to pick a padawan but Matsu was disheartened, Chora was already a knight and Saia had a master. She decided to get a small cabal of padawans under her to train. So she picked five from the ranks and told them to assemble on Tython.

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p305/Synlidwirh/femaleconvictscorpion01.jpg

Slowly Matsu had begun as a knight, oh so slowly. She didn't choose a padawan at first but instead watched and learned. She went onto the Will of the Force and wanted to observe the padawans. There she met Cat again and Haloburner also. Matsu and Halo had become friends after the trip with jedi knight Mitya and the three observed Akacen and Sorn spar. It was going well the two seemed evenly matched. Until a newer child entered the room, Matsu barely noticed him until he began to attack the others. As Matsu sprung into action and ordered him to stop he attacked her and the padawans again. He was like a madman and this forced Cat to intervene stripping the training saber from the boy. The antics of the child seemed finished and then he attacked Cat drawing the brawlers attention more. Then Matsu felt it and moved aside, she could feel Kelly Cross anywhere and the knight stopped the padawan roughly pinning him to a wall. This finally got him to calm down long enough to explain his actions and they were idiotic. He wanted to impress the battlemaster and be his padawan. What Matsu had not expected was the battle master to actually show and demand why they did what they were doing. It was made more difficult when the battlemaster showed up, he was angry and was dead set to punish all three knights.

When Matsu returned to Coruscant she met back up with Haloburner and began to train her old masters padawan. Halo wished to build a lightsaber and learn how to properly use it. The two spent time together and Matsu enjoyed the woman's company, the trip had been fun and cemented their friendship she had hoped. If not then this teaching moment while Remy was away doing jedi business was helpful. After Matsu got the supplies she and Halo spent four days in meditation while the saber was built. After three days Matsu got up to eat and silently meditated outside the room. She was happy to see Halo later come out with her saber and then Matsu began to show her the basics of fighting with a lightsaber. When they finished with that Matsu planned on what to do with her student and had a few things. They could practice with the force and play a game but what seemed to at least her mind was mutual attraction. Or Halo just loved paying her the same type of compliments.

After her session with Halo Matsu rushed to Tython to meet her first three padawans. Sorn, Gin and James were a varied assortment of students and the first thing Matsu did was ask them questions. Then they moved onto a practice spar and Matsu stayed on the defensive. The two Sorn and Gin worked well together while James sat back and watched. Eventually Matsu moved from using just her blade to incorporating the force and her blade. Sorn fought smart and tried to outmaneuver her but Matsu's ability to fly and different force techniques kept her making the padawan on edge. Eventually Matsu phased behind a tree and jumped on the branch where she sat while Sorn destroyed a tree. Matsu finished the spar her padawan was becoming angry at her using the force in a fight but Matsu wanted him to understand that not all fights were just with a blade. It was her first lesson but then later they moved onto talking about the force and jedi conduct. Sorn seemed to be zealous an attitude that could be dangerous given what he witnessed when she took him as her padawan on the Will of the Force.

Matsu while she was out exploring came upon a small jedi conclave where they were healing the sick of a Mandalorian world. There she saw a female Togruta and began to work on healing her. When the woman was able to talk Matsu introduced herself and learned the woman's name was Akira Ven. Matsu talked with the girl and learned all she could about her. Akira was from Shili and had been a hunter. Now she was on the run from her clan who had hired bounty hunters to get her back. As they talked Matsu continued to work on the poor girl who wasn't used to used to the viruses of the galaxy. What for most was a common cold was debilitating for her and Matsu worked to get her as many vaccine shots as she could. She wanted the girl to be healthy and safe, she made the girl an offer to come with her to the jedi where she could live and be safe.

It was the day of her first class, Matsu had done a lot and getting the masters to approve it but it was here. Matsu got everything set up and ready, she was going to teach the padawans and knights if they decided to come in how to manage pain. As the students filed in she told them what they were doing and the point of the course. The student took to it and as they went through managed to get the jist of it and learned to overcome their physical limitations. Andreus was the one at the top of the class, followed by Haloburner and Fanai. The small Kushibar was hurt beyond belief by Hal who while victorious in the combat didn't feel the pain and push past it. He didn't fail as he learned force body but didn't learn the other techniques like his fellow students. Near the end of the course Matsu participated in a final duel with Hal. It didn't matter if she won or lost it the point was to show she was in it just as much as them. Matsu ran the course and took the hits then moved into the duel with Hal. After the class Matsu congratulated everyone and gave them all some finishing words of advice.

After the class Matsu was preparing to leave. It was at this time Andreus after partially healing approached her and offered after overhearing her. He was offering to teach her to fly and Matsu was thankful. He asked her if she wouldn't mind bringing Akacen along and he was invited as well. As they waited for Akacen to arrive she prepared herself getting dressed and hitting the refresher while healing her small wounds. When Akacen arrived she and he got the full course. Andreus was thorough and taught them to run over everything on the checklists. As they went outside he made lists what what needed to be replaced and he made it for JH-41. Matsu went and talked sending a message to Grace an engineer on Coruscant. When she couldn't get a hold of her Andrues suggested getting the parts from Empress Teta and she agreed. The upgrades from Grace could wait while she got the ship repaired. As the parts came in she and Andreus with Akacen repaired the ship into operational order and Matsu got her first experience with Andreus as her co-pilot. With the seating she was behind him but he walked her through it as both her and akacen learned to properly pilot.

Matsu met with another of her Padawans a Kushibar named Fanai. The small girl had been in Matsu's class and been hurt so after that Matsu accepted her as a padawan. She was talented and Matsu saw her more as a blank slate she could teach. As they trained Matsu tried to get through to the young girl and made some of the training into a game. This seemed to upset the girl and as training continued the Harlequin flew through hyperspace and Matsu gave her padawan a tour of the ship. Then it was back to training as Matsu taught Fanai force skills and later after Fanai got frustrated and upset Matsu talked with her. It was strange that she used a motherly tone and set her to bed without dinner. Matsu left the plate of food out for Fanai should she decide to eat and went to bed getting up the next morning to continue their training.

Matsu landed the Harlequin at Bakura and exited while Fanai slept. The little padawan had been exhausted and Matsu let her sleep while she walked around. A disturbance caught her attention and Matsu made haste to a hotel where a man named Jael was with another Padawan she knew. Naisa had appeared on the world and Matsu wanted to get her back to Tython lest her master miss her. She gathered the two the man and Naisa and was about to leave when a woman attacked them. She wasn't a very good assassin announcing herself and using wasteful attacks. Matsu watched her flee in a puff of smoke and brought the two to her ship. She talked briefly with Naisa and discovered the young Trandoshan had a lacerated head wound. As she stitched it up and applied Bacta Matsu spoke trying to help her. As the time went on Naisa after being patched up went to lay down and Matsu talked with Jael. He was a wandering jedi and had lost his master now she was taking him back to Tython to rejoin the jedi.

THE CALLING

The time had come, Matsu had gotten her request granted and gathered Lamia. The two went to the high council on Tython and met with the grandmaster. It had been a long time coming but Matsu wanted Lamia to be allowed in the jedi order. Beric was stern and eyed them both but Matsu had come to far and trusted too much in Lamia to let the pureblood down. As beric talked and excused Matsu from the chambers she meditated. As the doors opened Matsu watched as Lamia told her she was allowed as a padawan to Matsu. Matsu felt an excitement that could not be contained and began to plan as she ran off to get Lamia her things. The two womans exited to the Harlequin to leave the planet and were joined by their jedi watchdog who Matsu guessed had orders to kill Lamia if she showed any signs of the darkside.

[insert image]

During the time while Lamia was undertaking a crash course as an initiate Matsu explored the temple and came across a number of students training. It was here she met a younger initiate named Tessa who was leagues ahead of her class. Matsu was impressed and talked with the young girl for hours offering her some training. As they progressed from blade work to stance to force powers and finally to knowledge. Matsu never saw the little girl falter and take everything in stride and as they had a small contest to see how many droids she could disable in sixty seconds Matsu applauded. Then they started on her studies and what she wanted to learn. Matsu gave her a few pointers for Ateru with a single blade but didn't understand the mechanics of a saber staff at the time. They continued to speak while the girl relaxed and rested, when that was over Matsu asked her to preform a very dangerous and complicated routine. It was optional but she hadn't said it and when the girl Tessa did it flawlessly Matsu could not allow talent like hers to wither waiting for a master. She plucked the ripe girl and made her the offer to be a padawan on board the Harlequin. When Tessa accepted Matsu was happy and let her go and get her things as Matsu smiled to herself. Tessa would hopefully be with her for a long time and she could teach the girl what she knew. The small things she told her about late night visitors on the ship was suspicious to her but the little girl while questioning didn't push. Matsu wanted to present a stable home on the ship and it wasn't time for her padawan to know that she was sometimes visited by a lover when they touched down on certain planets. or when the moment arose, Chora was busy with her own padawans.

Matsu found her way to Taris and into a dueling arena. It was strange she had gotten a feeling like a voice was crying out for help. So she came and observed a young girl fight. Her stage name was the Blind Bandit and she was strong in the force. Matsu approached her after the talked with her. Afterwards they were approached by a sith and he wanted the girl, it was rather strange and Matsu gave him the chance to leave. When he didn't she refused to draw her blade to fight him and instead used her parasol to protect herself and Ophenia as that was the girls real name. When she saw the chance Matsu phased herself and Ophenia into a lower level and ran to her ship across the upper city. They arrived at the landing pad and Matsu put the girl in the ship before returning to the arena cause Chora arrived. On the ship Kelly was waiting and had come pending her trial and judgement from the jedi council. Matsu returned to help Chora and observed her lover using the darkside much to hr shock. As Matsu moved to intervene another sith came in and attacked after Chora attacked her. Matsu moved quickly grabbing Chora and using their bond she calmed her enough to phase them both through a wall and into the ship as it flew past over head. As they phased into the ship Matsu collapsed the strain of phasing people too much for her and Chora carried her to her bunk and held her hand. Much of the memory for Matsu is forgotten. She cannot recall watching Chora use the darkside or what happened to the sith but she awoke with Chora near her bedside and there had been an attack. They stopped to get the ship repaired.

Matsu got the ship repaired by the Engineer Grace and upgraded to new specifications. The cost was high but she needed space for all of her new padawans. The process was long but eventually the repairs were underway and fully paid for, it might have costed a pretty penny but as Matsu watched the engineer work she was impressed. Graces bots stripped it and refitted it adding more rooms and floors. and storage for the food. After a few days the engineer deemed it ready and Matsu smiled going off to Kessel. She had an appointment to keep.

[insert image]

It was important now, Matsu went to Kessel to meet the man she knew as he biological father. He was serving his time and they had talked a little more. Their talk was uninformative but Matsu still didn't know if she got to the heart of the matter. Something was bothering her and as she walked back to the ship came up with a plan. She sent a message to Saia and Chora asking them to come. Matsu also went into her room where she found strands of hair on the pillow that belonged to Saia. She set it into the computer and began a check to see if Saia's DNA matched any on record. As she waited for the test to conclude and the ship to arrive on Tython Matsu was alone with her thoughts. She loved both women and there was also Halo to consider in the equation she hadn't told the two about Halo. As the test concluded Matsu reeled a little weak in the knees. Her DNA matched Saia's on the side for their father and her world shattered while trying to think of what to do next. It was simple she should tell Saia... No she would not tell Saia... No what if she found out? She could tell Saia in secret yes that would work no one beyond the three of them would know. As Saia and Chora arrived Matsu hid the results and greeted them both with a kiss. So she was a little minx who enjoyed the strength of Chora or the silky touch of Saia. She was allowed too and that was how she broke it to them. Saia and Chora both took it well and Saia went after being initially upset to meditate while Chora asked Matsu to be and maintain monogamy. It was a request and Matsu agreed promising to only make love to Chora. When they parted it was happy and joyful with Matsu looking forward to the future.

Matsu was sent a strange request, a padawan of another master wanted her to teach him. Matsu met with Varrion and began his training anew. He was slightly skilled and socially awkward. As the training began Matsu found herself working twice as hard not because Varrion was bad because she had never actually been around a Miraluka before it was difficult at first Matsu continued to nod her head in disapproval and approval but eventually she got into a rhythm with Varrion. As they practiced saber techniques Matsu found herself working to keep up but continued to quiz Varrion. Then it came time to test out his force training. He was good but was lacking something and Matsu figured it out. Her padawan was too concerned with strength and attacking where the enemy was when he should have been looking at the entire battle field like a chess game. He continued to attack and come after her getting better as time went on but he was still slow and sluggish allowing Matsu to get the advantage. Later that day they entered the garden and talked with Matsu teaching Varrion about the plants and some force powers. As time went on in their training Varrion went on a vision quest to build his lightsaber and this led him to Tattooine and then back to Tython. It was a long journey but eventually he had completed it and Matsu and Varrion tested it out. He was better with it but still relied on his sight when Matsu robbed him of that she saw him working on different ways to see. Varrion proved her was doing well and Matsu was happy to call him her padawan.

RECIPROCAL APPRENTICESHIP

Matsu met another padawan well a potential prime as she was calling them. A woman named Melira who was older then her but still a padawan. Matsu wanted to change that and after a small discussion in messages. The two met and Matsu found her calm and serenity alluring. As they talked Matsu and Melira came to an understanding with Melira being taught and being the teacher for Matsu until she was fully prepared for the jedi trials. The duo practiced first sword and blade forms as Matsu and Melira fought fiercely... well one was fierce the other calm and collected. Melira's use of Niman had made her very patient and skilled with her techniques. The duel was rather back and forth with neither side wanting to give up and surrender. As it went on though Matsu had to use more and more energy to counter Melira's force powers. She just called strong techniques with minimal effort. Matsu after the duel ended in a draw which Matsu was lucky she got that close. Melira had made an oversight in her attack if only minor had it kept going Matsu had no doubt she would lose. Afterwards Melira and Matsu meditated with Melira sharing her force technique of letting the energy flow instead of being called and this helped Matsu ease into using the force more and for longer periods. Soon after Melira and Matsu trained in Niman with Melira and found a sense of inner peace as she came internally to terms with herself.

Matsu finally had gotten clearences for Lamia, her new padawan a Sith Pureblood was training with her. They went to the Harlequin and were met by their jedi watchdog. Matsu began from the beginning with the jedi code and rules of engagement as they went over them and meditated letting the ship sail through space towards their destination. After meditations Matsu and Lamia had a light spare with Matsu pushing Lamia to her limit while Lamia made Matsu have to work for the draw, her size and weight disadvantage was apparent to most of her opponents and needed to get stronger or more powerful in the force. They kept going and talked as Matsu felt the intense stare of the jedi watchdog, when Matsu asked Lamia if she knew where they were going and her padawan answered correct. Matsu came out as they dropped out of hyperspace at Nar Shadda and when they landed and paid for docking their watchdog had mysteriously disappeared. As they explored around Nar Shadda port Matsu and Lamia went into an obscure shop and came across a few trinkets. The antique owner was smarter then he looked and after he learned what Lamia was he tried to make her and matsu pay more for an old sword. It was worth what they paid and Lamia reactivated it claiming it was the sword of Kressh and her family sword. After the shop they went around and searched for more artifacts finding a translation amulet that Matsu worked on purifying the amulet as they walked and met an old woman. She was strange a point in the force Matsu had not met before and this intrigued the jedi knight. They all went into a diner for a meal and Matsu had her first taste of blood soup and a hearty beef stew while they talked. The woman was an old jedi who left and order and came to Nar Shadda, Matsu had been partially correct in her assumptions but didn't know the reason why she was ousted from the order.

Matsu returned to the temple on Tython and met for a brief moment a padawan. He was strange but determined and slowly as they went on Matsu changed her mind. The man wasn't focused and lacked the will to do anything beyond boast she she sent him to the council of reassignment for a new station. With her time wasted Matsu found use for it and began to study lightsaber combat forms and powers. It was enlightening to know what she could gleam and slowly Matsu began to practice the forms for herself. She wasn't an expert but she loved the idea of knowledge and wanted to know all she could to better teach. As she trained in forms 2, 3, 5, 7, and some of the more unorthodox Matsu began to understand the strengths and weaknesses but also knew she could teach her padawans should they desire to learn such forms. She began to study more exotic powers to alter the environment and area around her while also focusing inward. The final thing she did was gather more crew for her ship and go over padawans who were in need of a master. She saw a few and took interest sending them messages of where to meet her for training.

Matsu met one of the padawans she had researched named Jael he was the one she met on Bakura with Naisa. It was a strange thing seeing him again but Matsu began training him, his anger was disconcerting as he fought and came at her not to spar but actually seeing to want to do harm. After a small talk Matsu acknowledged him and sent him to the reassignment council, it was strange the second padawan to be sent and she had little else to do while the other ones trained. She spent time with them and taught what she could but furthered her research into the force and saber combat. She was mainly interested in her ability to bond easily with others and gathered her padawans who had bonded with her. She taught them and trained them and together they seemed to have enhanced coordination and skill. As time went on Matsu's bonds with her padawans and fellow jedi became something interesting and she seemed to get personality traits of them and some of their talents.

It was a peaceful time and Matsu entered the room of a thousand fountains as she looked around. She saw Cat for the first time in a long time since their punishment at the hands of the Battlemaster and she kneeled greeting the man who had taught her Teras Kasi. He was cute but she didn't want to lead him on and as they talked about her padawans and his new one she smiled offering him a chance to join her as she went home to Rhen Var. The day ended with them training in the moves he had taught her on the Will of the Force. It was an intense training regiment but Matsu was taught the full range of Teras Kasi moves and techniques including the Steel Hands move which was hard to master. They finished and Matsu thanked Cat with a small kiss on the cheek as he went off to be with his padawan and she returned to her.

Rhen Var she was home and as they departed the ship. Her padawans were going to ascend the stairs and train for three weeks, when they reached the top Matsu told everyone the game plan. Cat, Chora, Melira and Lamia were all there to help train the padawans in their skills. The first day was a success as Matsu and all the knights and primes began teaching the students. She trained in force powers while Melira taught Niman and Cat taught Teras Kasi. Matsu spent a little time with Chora and was happy as she rolled her shoulders and practiced force techniques away from the temple learning how to properly alter the environment and kinetite energy balls. The three weeks were a slow process but rewarding for all in with Matsu creating her first set of lightsabers and deepening her relationship with Chora. She had also been made to turn down Cat who had a crush on her. It was sweet but she didn't know how to explain that to Cat. It took her some time to think after he said he wanted to try a relationship with her. He seemed to take that she was a lesbian and in love with Chora, afterwards things were slightly awkward between them but smoothed out. As the three weeks came to a close Matsu felt stronger and it showed in her knowledge of saber forms and force powers. She had also learned techniques from Lamia about her peoples alchemy and history.

It was a strange feeling, almost like a twinge of guilt as Matsu sat in her ship and it sailed through space towards the ship. A senior jedi had called them all here to the ship and she was curious that none of the council had been asked. As Dai began to speak he made the intentions clear. They were gathered to discuss asking the council to step down. The Sith threat was quickly escalating and the council wasn't preparing for anything. He asked them to hear him out and he made sense as then he provided a ledger and one by one they all went up and signed. Matsu agreed things had to be done with the thread looming but didn't fully know if this would be the best way. As the group departed Matsu returned to her ship and took it in for service. She had contacted the Mandalorians and they were willing to upgrade her ship for a favor owed to them. Seemed their admiral liked the idea of having a jedi owe a debt to the Mandalorians and Matsu wasn't one to argue after she saw what he could do to her ship and how much it would be altered and improved. As the altercations went underway Matsu spent time practicing with them in the battle circle. She didn't win many of her matches but she competed on their terms and without the force. She garnered respect and some cheers. As the altercations finished Matsu bowed and said one day she would return.

Matsu met with Kaji a younger jedi and began to train him. he was talented and she was lucky to have him after the several other padawans who seemed to flounder and need reassignment. Her training with Kaji proved beneficial and his skills well done enough to strike out on his own. He is her padawan and reports back to her but has reign to partake in missions. She spent the rest of their training time making sure he could handle situations and was pleased with his progress. The council was for the moment only two members and things were in turmoil with the Alliance as well. The troubles the padawans and knights could help out with was needed and several missions to keep the peace and protect people were underway.

Matsu had been tasked with finding an ancient jedi tomb. The jedi may have buried a holocron in the tomb and Tessa along with Lamia both of who have had expressed an interest in history. As they explored the three sensed something, it was a Sithspawn and going for the tomb. Matsu made haste with the two and caught sight of it as they came to a bridge in the large cavern and confronted the sithspawn. As she fought it Lamia and Tessa went towards the tomb to search. Matsu used her powers to draw his attention and began to collapse the bridge. As the stone broke for the bridge Matsu flew around and got to the other end as the Sithspawn came at them. She and Lamia unleashed a blast of electric judgement from her family sword. It wasn't the cleanest but as the sithspawn fell into the abyss Matsu, Tessa and LAmia all went back towards the ship. Matsu flew the two and they returned to the ship with a holocron in their hands. Tessa was the first to use the holocron and discovered it was for an ancient jedi healer named Wisteria. As Tessa learned its data Matsu watched and followed coming in when it was over and they talked and practiced the techniques on the holocron.

Matsu, Chora, Ophenia and Kelly were back on the ship. It had been sometime and with the repairs and upgrades happening on the Harlequin, Matsu was taking the young girl to the temple. It was a long wait but eventually Ophenia was registered and accepted as Matsu's padawan. They got her new clothing and robes, sashes for her eyes and finally Matsu began introducing her to her crew. These were the jedi working on the ship but not being trained. It was a curious thing but Matsu had an all female crew for a reason beyond her preference. The majority of her padawans had seemed to at least the males either fail or leave the order and she wanted proper jedi to be trained.As the crew helped finish up with the upgrades Matsu was introduced to Myra Subach a ship specialist and industry woman. She offered Matsu a chance to get a ship for herself and Matsu jumped at the thought of her own jedi cruiser. Matsu was off with her padawans and crew as they embarked on a small mission to retrieve the husk of a starship that would be traded to Myra for a cruiser.

The mission to the planet was simple enough the people needed water and food from a drought. Matsu could alter the environment and create rain so she did it wasn't much but as she meditated it rained for seven days long enough to allow the farmers to fill up their underground wells and extra stores. In exchange for her help Matsu was given the hull and several droids. She kept the droids and got a strong server droid who could help out around the ship. After the meeting with Myra Matsu learned it would take sometime for things to be done properly but Myra was going to make sure the ship was in tip top shape for the jedi who had helped her.

DANSE MACABRE

Matsu had heard the news, the trial of Kelly cross came and she hurried to Tython. It wasn't because she thought she could make a difference but more she wanted to show support to her friend. It was a small gesture but Matsu was there and as Kelly exited the council chambers she ran after her friend, Kelly avoided her until she got to her room and asked. The news wasn't good and Kelly wanted to be alone. Matsu obliged and stood with Delta as Kelly left, she didn't follow instead went back to her ship and left a note for Kelly. She didn't know the fate of the padawan who had caused the trouble but her friend was being exiled for... For what? For stopping a fight that had been taken to far. Matsu left for her ship and met her crew at it the ship and headed off. She went out to meet the rest of her padawans and begin their training.

Matsu returned to the Will of the Force and met Naisa again, the padawan was to be hers and she greeted her. They began their training and Matsu learned how much Naisa knew of hand to hand combat. Naisa was good, better with her hands and feet then with a saber or even force strength. Matsu had to work at it a bit but she knew what her padawan was doing and began to use Teras Kasi to duel and counter. When the fight concluded Matsu and Naisa talked and began to discuss what her padawan held dear. It was an interesting conversation and Matsu learned a lot about the woman from her past to her hopes and dreams. As they meditated her force knowledge allowed her to offer the most basic boost and help to Naisa's training and the pair sat for hours just silently meditating in the training room aboard the Harlequin. The training was time consuming but as they went through it got better and easier as their familiarity grew. Naisa was talented and Matsu proud. As the first week ended Matsu found herself in the outer rim on a merchant planet. She found a decommissioned droid and a talented mechanic named Remy. It was a strange thing but the failed jedi padawan was there with her friends and fellow students.

Matsu met with a new padawan and was surprised, the twi-lek was beautiful and she was happy to see her. It was short lived her training would be cut short and the girl had to be sent back. It wasn't her fault she was just recalled and Matsu used what spare time she had to visit other failed padawans. It wasn't very appealing to the masters who watched them but as she looked upon them and saw potential in each Matsu nodded her approval. She gathered eight from this planet of Padawans who had not been able to cut it and made them her crew. An all force user crew could come in handy for defense and helping out. The ship was three times bigger and had plenty of room for each of them including a forth level that was her room and the primary training room. With her crew gathered and the droids Remy brought along Matsu had a full ship and her padawans a home that was designed to function for long periods of time in space. They set off to have fun and adventures.

After her last padawan Matsu began teaching Qyv, the man was older then her and seemed insulted that she was his master. As they talked she couldn't get to the root of his problems but he wanted to learn and they dueled. It was a strenuous duel not because he was her better but he wanted her to use a style she had never used before. It was difficult to wield two blades at first and Matsu had wished she practiced more. The duel lasted a descent amount of time but Matsu was out classed she hadn't been ready for this and didn't know her own techniques as she fought. It ended with her losing true but the mans concern is what cinched it for her. He was peaceful and calm in victory and offered to heal her as they went to meditate. He was troubled with visions and Matsu again was unable to help him, her visions were hers and sharing them hard to do. His were of terrible things that he could not shake. Matsu tried to get him to let go but he refused and left the training room. As he left Matsu remained silent and allowed him to leave as she gathered her things and returned to the ship.

Matsu found herself drawn back to Coruscant, Remy had been missing after Tanaab and Halo was left to her own devices. Matsu returned to see her friend and offer her training. It wasn't much of an offer Halo was very well trained, Matsu would only work to complete the training. Together she and Halo went to eat and talked about all they had done and the last time they were on the planet together and got tattoo's. They continued to eat and Matsu offered to take over training Halo until Remy returned, the blonde agreed and Matsu with her new padawan prime went back to the Harlequin. They set off towards the outer rim worlds to help people and train but also so Matsu could meet with Myra Subach at a ship yard and see the status of The Harrowing her cruiser the woman was restoring. It was nearly done and crew had been found but still she needed officers and put out the call through Myra. She needed a proper bridge crew and eventually she would have one.

Matsu took Melira to an unknown world that she found in the jedi database. It was a strange world but thankfully not near sith space as they landed. The darkside was strong and after some directions they found their way to a triple set of pyramids in the jungle. They went to the top where a destroyed alter was and was going to be a place for Melira's trail. Matsu pointed to a cave and Melira entered undertaking her trail, as time went on Matsu meditated outside and practiced mental techniques for calming herself in a fight or just to regain a connection to the force when fatigued to help. It took some time but eventually Melira came forward and rejoined her master outside they talked a little but what transpired for Melira was deeply personal and Matsu respected that. They returned to the ship and made way as the crew finished with the rest of the accommodation. Now the Harlequin was fully operational and made ready for training Matsu's padawans. With the several droids wandering around able to help. The last thing needed brought Matsu all the way back to Kessel prison and the charge of Asami Asaki a prisoner who was at one point a jedi. She was violent and dangerous but skilled and able to help out on the ship. Matsu believed in her and so she was given the prisoner and acted as her warden retraining her in the jedi initiate arts so she could use her abilities and saber if needed.

The time had come Matsu had been summoned by a senior jedi and was one among others who listened. the Threat from the Sith was coming and the jedi were ill prepared to protect the people. Worse the grandmaster and council were not doing anything. As she listened it was something she could agree with and willingly signed the ledger with a number of others. She wasn't allowed to join them as they went to the council chambers but hard the news and how the grandmaster and battlemaster left the jedi order. Later news had them popping up in Sith Space under a new banner and with the failure of the Jedi at Tanaab Matsu focused on her padawans and the few that were approaching knighthood. With her crew of jedi trainees and padawans Matsu continued to travel around the galaxy and remain mobile to avoid unneeded attention when they got close to sith space. The others were happy to travel and get a full experience and her lessons with Mitya about travel had been taken to heart. Matsu began to train herself is force techniques like call and navigation, her flying lesson had been on par she learned with back water bush pilots and with the help of Serin and Kelly Cross, Matsu learned how to properly fly and handle ships. The lessons were valuable and Matsu was glad her friend was doing well the jedi exiling her was a stupid decision and hopefully with the new regime it would be reversed.

The meeting was set, Matsu with Tessa and Lamia were meeting with the Loremaster of the jedi Leech something it didn't matter to her. She wanted to get the objects to him as soon as she could and leave to continue training her padawans. As they entered Matsu got the distinct impression of ignorance. Kelly had told her all about the class she had had with the Lore Master and how when she made a good point and actually made a revelation he brushed it off and proved his ignorance. So he was unimpressive but propriety called that she respect him for his rank and title as befit him. The opening words of the conversation showed his feelings when mention of Lamia came and she sensed his disgust. Matsu didn't care for people like him who judged a species based on their past. She hadn't and believed her padawan faster then a master who let personal feeling get in the way. As the conversation went on Matsu tried to hold back her lunch at the way he ignored Lamia and when it was over she had relinquished into a case Lamia's family sword as well as her translation talisman. Later that night Matsu under the cover of the shadows broke a rule and entered the reliquary retrieving her padawans family sword with case, her talisman and several ancient holocrons with other items. It wasn't greed at the knowledge but the few scrolls and tomes she got out had stories and histories that could prove valuable to a proper teacher about the past and history of the jedi.

The ship was complete, with the help of the Mandalorians, and Myra Subach the Harlequin and Harrowing was finished. The ships had been repaired and upgraded to Matsu's specifications and requirements. As she displayed the new ship Matsu met with her padawans and crew on board the Eclipse station in the deep core and invited more to look at it. Ebberla came and the pair shared a drink. For the first time Matsu got intoxicated and watched her padawans Lamia and Varrion share an intimate moment while she curled up next to Chora. It was a strange site all of her friends there and crew with Varrion being the odd one out and the only male. As she got more to drink Matsu was asked and force persuaded to do several things by her padawan Lamia all in good fun but Ebberla kept her safe while Chora looked on and even got Matsu to loosen up enough to preform a table dance for everyone. It was fun a relief of sorts for Matsu to let her hair down and have a little fun. Then Halo showed up and scolded the others that they shouldn't take advantage of her in this state and Matsu watched Ebberla leave rather then argue. After Matsu was put in hr bed and left to sleep it off she awoke a day later and began to continue her training with the scrolls and in the use of alter environment.

We met a large cat on a stop over, Samantha and Risty came across him and brought him back to the ship. It was strange but I didn't sense anything bad from him and he knew Jedi Master Christian. He asked to use our communications to contact him and we agreed letting him contact the jedi to get a hold of him. After sometime we got a place to drop him off and took him saying farewell and Matsu getting the name Delun. After they dropped Delun off Matsu made way to Ossus and explored with her crew. They were looking for anything they could find and found several scrolls and lightsaber crystals. As the time passed Matsu etched out a small section of the library for herself and gathered what intact and partially intact items she could for study and to adorn the Harrowing chamber. Several of her padawans helped and were trained as they restored what they could of the pottery and banners. It was an interesting history lesson one that taught what needed to be done in times past and the nature that had overgrown the buildings their use of plant surge and talking with the plants to move and reveal their secrets helped greatly find a small cache of holocrons some blank and ready to be recorded upon.

Matsu with a small contingent of jedi made their way to Nar Shadda to find a Doctor who was offering to sell Sith secrets to the Jedi and Alliance. They arrived and met up herself and two crew as well as Arek and a younger padawan she didn't know the name of or species. While they made their way to the doctors office Matsu sensed something and made haste for the office. When they arrived they found bodies and saw the person who killed them there, Matsu gave chase with her padawans and the others followed. As the chase intensified Matsu unleashed the storms fury and called down lightning to stop him with the others cornering him in an alley. He was stopped for a bit and when he escaped to a building top Matsu took off going after him and chasing while the others navigated down below. he was chased from the roof and injured when the others surrounded him. With no where left to run the man attacked them forcing Matsu and the others to defend themselves. The fight was fast paced and quick with the numbers game taking advantage and with enhanced coordination from Matsu they subdued him and caught the killer. He was taken to the Harlequin and under the constant guard from the jedi crew awaited transport to an Alliance ship. As they flew towards the Alliance space Matsu continued her training. Time was short she was preparing herself for the trials and had seen a number of her padawans knighted. The others that had failed she counted in her totals but they failed for other reasons then just her early teachings. They failed form their personalities and actions. It was sad but needed to help her improve and as she delved deeper into the jedi lore and histories, things started to come together and between what Kelly showed her she silently agreed with her friend.

When the time came for her trials Matsu was denied on the basis she was two young. Something she disagreed with as age wasn't the only factor in things. There was skill and she had plenty enough to go around. As she sulked and went into the library on Tython Matsu continued to read and train herself. She wasn't a fighter anymore she was something better a repository and she could remember anything she read, heard or did thanks to her force enhanced senses. This helped her train others and teach them about the light but she could never force them. She knew that not everyone fit into the box that had been created they were unique but she could guide them and train them to follow the light cause it led to a longer life full of promise where as the darkside led to really only one purpose and result. Eventually someone came and took your position and you were no longer the sad little king of a sad little hill with delusions standing. Matsu after her study session met with Zanna a nice padawan who she was happy to teach. It all started well and good then her padawan failed as well so many of them seemed to not be able to hadle the jedi lifestyle it was very sad.

JEDI ADVENTURES:

Matsu in her slump after failing another padawan andd being turned down by the idiot grandmaster went to Tython to meet with Ebberla, the talented jedi knight was skilled in Shien form and Matsu wanted to learn all she could about the style. As her and Ebberla met a few words were exchanged but mainly they got to the lesson. Matsu knew her well enough they they had jokes but were not ones to just outright dally and waste time. They spent the better part of the day getting the form correct and then striking at targets, as night fell Matsu and Ebberla headed back to the temple with some burns on her hands to which she asked Matsu to help her heal them. Matsu agreed and showed Ebberla how to heal and after the jedi knights hands were healed she practiced on Matsu who burned her hands for the cause. It wasn't a dangerous burn just a flash really but Ebberla did well and Matsu gave her the approval for the work she deserved. As they parted ways finally Matsu took a moment on Tython to scout around and gather what extra equipment she could mainly for lightsaber construction and several holocrons on combat. She may not have had proper access but she had seen a number of other masters go into the vaults and knew all their codes so it would look like they had went in there and borrowed a number of different things. Chief among them now was some banking information from the computers for jedi accounts that she could transfer discreetly into her own. As night fully descended on the temple Matsu made her move and began to go towards the mountains. She had a ceremony to preform.

Matsu stood after a long day ready, her crew was all standing around in a circle as three padawans finished their meditations. It was a time of reflection and as she prepared the ceremony and oversaw their transition into knighthood. Matsu was proud of Melira she had promised to help her reach knighthood and had succeeded in that promise which just filled her heart with joy. As the knighting ceremony continued Matsu made sure they all were properly conducted and then left it was there time and they did not need her and the others hanging around impeding on them. She returned to the Harlequin and set in her room and meditation chamber the holocrons she had taken from the jedi vaults. The additional equipment had gotten there and she smiled setting in in place as they left the planet for Naboo and Matsu began to construct a new lightsaber from a few ideas she had. As the ship sailed in hyperspace Matsu completed construction of a lightsaber fashioned of ultrachrome and emblazoned with symbols detailing its use. It was the first lightsaber she created by herself and as she activated it the palest blue blade came out. For Jar'kai it would work with her midnight blue blade and be the darkest and palest shades of blue.

Matsu arrived on Naboo and decided to explore it wasn't often she got to the worlds for anything more then a mission or a job. Instead she was rather looking forward to just taking in the sites and spending a little of the jedi credits she had borrowed. A fitting things since they refused to even acknowledge her or give her a chance when it came to her master trials. As she joked and spent the credits a presence appeared and it set her on alert, a ship had passed by overhead and Matsu knew something dangerous was on it as she moved quickly and went with two of her crew members to see. She found him a large wolf named Tsume who had come to explore. A sith this deep in alliance space was trouble and not the kind she enjoy it could herald an attack or in some cases it could spell danger to the people. MAtsu spoke with the wolf and learned why he was there as she was joined by Andre who talked also saying Tsume could be an independent force user and not be bound by the jedi or sith. A goal she supposed but a dangerous one if he was open and alone the sith would be more the tempting offering what he wanted but not what he needed which was the jedi. Slowly Tsume agreed to come with Matsu to the jedi under her protection and they left.

[insert image]

Returning to Coruscant with Tsume was quickly done as Matsu led the young sith to meet the new lore master of the jedi. It was a small thing and as Matsu got there it was clear she wasn't needed but asked to stay anyways... why? She didn't know but she was going to keep Tsume under her protection as she listened to him speak and the lore master welcome him to the jedi. When they finished she parted ways with Tsume and wished him luck. She hadn't been to Coruscant in a while and she moved from the temple to the marketplace after she checked out a few holocrons and got resupplied for the ship. Her business in the marketplace went well and she got a new tattoo on her ribs as she and Serah had started to become good friends with her offering her a permanent position on her crew cause well it was free room and board with access to jedi accounts. So she cold get the best equipment, Serah was willing to come with Matsu being on of her best repeat clients and with the help of Matsu and her crew they packed up and moved her things. The tattoo artist Matsu had known and gone to for years was now going to be a permanent fixture on her crew and she was glad it would bring a sense of grounding to everything.

Matsu stayed on Coruscant for a while, Varrion was preparing to take his trials and there were reports that an elder jedi had been killed. Matsu joined the investigation and saw Ebberla, Dartel, Varrion also there as she saw Teline Deloi again and listened. The old jedi had died of a heart attack and the entire time everyone put out reasonable answers that were shot down and told wrong by Deloi. Ebberla left first and Matsu followed after the knight was taking and using a situation to stroke his already inflated ego which was sickening. The man deserved more respect then a jedi exploiting his death for whatever reason, she left and after a small talk with Varrion entrusted him to Dartel to continue. She would be at the ship. She caught up with Risty and Saki at the cantina across the street and talked with them about the investigation and submitted her report to the council and temple. She doubted they would handle it with Deloi being a pet at the heels of the council. It was one of the few times when she was truly sickened at the state of the new council, they disregarded anyone who didn't drop to their kness in front of them. As the night waned on Matsu saw Varrion and Dartel and invited them over to talk about it seemed only Deloi remained since no one wanted to continue to stroke him.

Turning over the dangerous Tach proved difficult despite several trips no one in the Alliance wanted to take custody of the man and it wasn't until Mitya intervened and brought a prison transport that she was able to officially hand him over to Alliance officers. The ordeal was over and she disliked it thankfully the annoying padawan who acted superior was gone with Tach and Matsu was able to go and relax. It was a small flight but they got back to a normal routine with Matsu docking on the Harrowing as her padawans with the exception of Varrion who had passed his trials. She was proud of him and glad to have trained him and now was time to focus on the others. She worked with Naisa, Ophenia and Tessa to better teach them what to do with the force. Naisa was skillful in Echani arts and as a jedi that could prove effective. For several weeks they trained and even brought in the reclusive Lamia to help and train. As Matsu prepared her padawans or the time ahead she spared a few moments to think about her other padawans and what they were doing now that they were in the hands of the reassignment council.

In preparation for her future trials Matsu brought Lamia to her central chamber on the Harrowing and talked with her. She wanted to make certain her padawan was ready for what laid ahead and prepared her with all the knowledge she could muster and teach. It was a long training session full of energy and displays of skill then they would talk about everything. Matsu was impressed with how far Lamia had come but she knew more had to be done. Not from her padawans actions but just in general and with the order itself. She had learned a great many things from the jedi archives about the formation of the jedi and the Sith Purebloods had helped form it even stayed on Tython. That this was ignored and the jedi didn't care anymore seemed just more fuel for why the new council was as badly run as the old. No one cared about the facts they cared about stroking their egos and their seats of power. It was sickening that she served them when all she wanted to do was serve the lightside of the force without their involvement the people could be helped a lot more and with the coming war it was required that all jedi protect the people. Instead they were just going to sit on their hill top and send countless jedi to their deaths as well as alliance soldiers. The sith wouldn't think twice about it she imagined the Emperor would be there if not leading his people then directing them but he would be there. He had to show his power and what better way then to stand on a battle field as you and your men kill countless jedi. As she finished training with Lamia Matsu meditated and awaited the answer, it came and Lamia was not allowed to be a jedi knight she wasn't even considered. Her species was the reason, not her actions or standing. The grandmaster wouldn't even offer a way this to MAtsu showed more arrogance and an attitude towards her as Matsu annoyed with the jedi council contemplated sending in her re-submission for master.

Aboard the Harrowing Matsu met with Tessa, the girl was skillful for one so young and it was time to see how much she had improved being the last teacher of the Battlemaster before he left the order. She was as talented as ever and Matsu for the first time tried to use a saberstaff to better understand how to fight with one. Her spar with Tessa was a joke she was clearly outclassed in terms of the girls even minor skill. So they tried to teach each other Matsu with the force and Tessa with the staff, it worked and for a few hours they continued to train and spar talking a little until it was time to eat and for Tessa to go to bed. She was still a growing girl so she had to sleep more and eat plenty. After Tessa went to bed Matsu continued to work on the saber staff techniques she had seen Tessa preforming and she wanted to if not master how to use it then to get better so she wasn't such an easy opponent for Tessa. As the night went on Matsu got better with the saberstaff but was nowhere near the level of her padawan.

The time had come, Matsu with the help of Mitya had been allowed to take the trials for being a master. It wasn't much the same as her knight trials but she was different less aggressive and more calm in the face of the dangers. They both after three days in different area's of the temple passed the trials and Matsu was so happy. The title of jedi master had been bestowed upon her and as she left her padawans to train for a month went into the unknown regions on an inner journey. She found what had been calling to her on Emberlene and after some talking met with Ren Po Ike the wife of her master Dokai. She was a lovely woman who taught Matsu all about her family and what Katagiri had really been, a trained Imperial knight yes but also a member of a family of strong women. They were Mystril Shadow Guards a group of highly trained mercenaries and fighters that have lived in partial secret throughout the eons and it was a family tradition. Matsu submitted herself to the clans leader Rukia the current head of the order and after showing she was a daughter of Katagiri she was allowed some of the training and secrets of the family. Matsu remained with her family and met her many cousins all of whom were like her and Yansigasawa the son of Ren Po and husband of Rukia. She was a nice man and knew he had been born with love but tradition dictated he could not be in the clan in the normal sense. He was on Nar Shadda most of the time and she could come and see him whenever.

Matsu was there for months preparing with Chora she did what was needed. Her time in the jedi meant little if something happened and as a newly risen jedi master she had the time to do this. Her great grandmother Ren Po showed her how the people of Emberlene could create designer babies and with a grin Matsu also brought forth the power of Sith Alchemy she had learned and used from Lamia. As the steps were taken and time used to prepare, she only contacted the jedi once to tell Chora where she was and even then avoided the others. No one could know about this they might think it an abomination. Chora arrived and Matsu explained the plan at first the other woman was questioning it then she accepted and agreed forming their bond even more. It would take time and Chora would be free to return to the jedi while Matsu remained behind to do this. The treatments began and as Matsu thought more and more about it she was hopeful for the future.

Step 1: Three weeks prior Matsu and Chora begin taking fertility medication that stimulates production and maturation of eggs. This fertility medication needs to be taken just before the commencement of the menstrual cycle.

Step 2: Matsu's and Chora's ovulation cycle is determined, using body basal temperature and ultrasound and, the hormone levels are closely monitored.

Step 3: At time of next ovulation cycle Matsu and chora's eggs are harvested.

Step 4: Sperm donor is found and sample obtained

Step 5: Sperm sample is washed and concentrated. This needs to be done so that the mucus and non-motile sperms are removed which will increase the possibility of fertilization.

Step 6: Sith Alchemy is used to combine Matsu and Chora's eggs into a single set of eggs carrying the traits of both women.

Step 7: The embryo is grown in the laboratory for two - three days until the cells have divided and the embryo consists of around eight cells.

Step 8: A trained embryologist removes one or two of the cells (blastomeres) from the embryo

Step 9: The cells are tested to see if the embryo from which they were removed contains the genetic make up from both women.

Step 10: Embryos are screened and altered using methods to determine sex, hair color, eye color, skin tone.

Step 11: Embryos that are properly combined are transferred to the womb to allow them to develop.

Step 12: About two weeks after the embryo transfer, Matsu is given a pregnancy test.

Step 13: Upon successful pregnancy Matsu enters a hibernation trace and focuses the force to progress the pregnancy. She is hooked up to IV's and machines while the baby is monitored.

Step 14: Ultrasounds are taken to check fetus state regularly.

Step 15: Matsu gives birth at 38 weeks to two baby girls.

The time finally came and with the accelerated pregnancy the babies were viable after thirty eight weeks more then enough time for normal labor. She pushed and screamed but they came two children as cute as a button and healthy. Matsu gave birth to them and Chora held her hand through it all, with their children born things had changed for the better it seemed and there was a laugh from the jedi master. She knew the twins would need to be secreted away and taught the jedi were many things but she did not see them being the protectors they are supposed to be. The grandmaster seemed to stroke his ego more and more the council she had helped replace became more and more the old one with new faces. It saddened Matsu and made her glad she had found the one light source in all the darkness, Chora was with her now and slowly Matsu fell asleep holding the babies in her arms. The clinic bed was compact making it easier for her to hold them and they would be dropped. Aging was partially accelerated so the children could become kids able to receive training quickly but they wouldn't age into teenagers for years. Matsu left them with their family to be trained when they looked around three, she had bonded with them and had both of their faces in her heart and on her mind. Matsu was still going to stay on Emberlene that had not changed she had to train harder to work off the signs off pregnancy before she could return to the jedi as a master.

JEDI MASTER:

The self training was intense but after a number of months with her cousins Matsu was ready, the Harrowing and Harlequin had come to Emberlene and was above in orbit. Matsu introduced to her crew the majority of her cousins and they all worked together to enjoy the small amount of peace that was being granted by this time away from the jedi worlds. Her time learning how to use an electro whip, punch claws and zenji needles was helpful she rather enjoyed the idea of the needles as hair ornaments and would have to look into getting some for herself. Matsu made a use of her family and invited them to join her on the ship to use as a small base of operations. A few agreed they would like the idea and others choose to stay on Emberlene and waiting for contracts. As she departed with them they wished her luck and as a family they embraced and parted with Matsu getting three of her cousins to come with her. They even gave her a droid named BETA who could help on the ship in defense but was also a strong force in protection detail for Matsu.

The return to Alliance and Jedi space was short lived, Matsu learned about the attack on the Will of the force and saw the announcements from both the Sith and Alliance... or lack of anything from the Alliance. They seemed to be sweeping it under the rug when it was obvious who did the attack. She wasn't a violent person but war had been declared and they didn't want to do anything other then... other then ignore it and hope the Sith threat went away. Matsu couldn't stand it and had to find something to do... anything really and she had her cousins now to think about they took jobs on the basis of getting paid to send money home she had to make sure they got to do that and set up a system where bounties of criminals and mercenary jobs were routed to the ship for them and shuttles and ships provided.

After Matsu returned from her meditations she joined a mission with the Harlequin. She and two others were to go to a recently found Star Destroyer and find out if it posed a thread to the planet Rion. Matsu was joined by Haloburner Lamb recently made a knight and former padawan to Matsu as well as padawan Andreus. The first moments of the mission as they got to the hanger should have been an indication of what was coming. The force signatures of the people on board were faint almost lifeless and as they monitored the atmosphere of the ship the high levels of ammonia meant they would have to use breathing equipment. As it went underway the lack of power for lights meant stumbling around in the dark was an idiotic reason and Matsu's insistence that Andreus lead the way having been a pilot and knowing the layout of the ship. It fell on deaf ears and he presented a hostile and slightly crazed nature of disrespect and refusal to follow simple instructions. This worried Matsu as it could mean his equipment was failing and he wasn't getting enough oxygen to his already addled brain. Halo was no help neither scolding the padawan for disrespect or offering a solution. As they continued forward the ship came alive and the sounds of thousands upon thousands of creatures coming for them could be heard. Matsu ordered a retreat and forced the others to get back towards the hanger that somehow was ripped off stopping them for the moment. As Andreus continued to slip into his own dementia it seemed to effect Halo as she went with the padawan and plunged a metaphorical knife in her former masters gut choosing to accept that the mission was aborted and going off with the padawan who seemed to be her new master. Matsu lamented it as she wrapped herself in a cocoon of force energy and decompressed the section sending herself for the thirty second into the waiting hold of the Harlequin. As she reported to the medical bay to get her eyes cleaned from the ammonia Matsu regretted what she did but as her friend had betrayed her she had no choice and left the planet and returned to her other padawans who needed her.

After returning from the failed mission to the Indomitable Matsu met with several other jedi in a valley on Tython, they discussed the Will of the Force attack and she walked among the wreckage as she tried to comprehend the incident. It wasn't anything good they had arrived undetected and gotten away.. it was disheartening to imagine all those dead that had been in vein. A month had already passed but for her this was fresh and nothing had happened from it the Sith had declared war and not even a response from the Alliance. Then as she listened more she learned the jedi had taken over the alliance replacing the Chancellor overturning the senate. She recalled the last time they were accused of that they were purged by the sith. Sadly this time the lie was truth and the jedi now seemed like power hungry egotists instead of peacekeepers. It saddened Matsu and she prepared herself for the end of the wreckage where she rejoined her crew and padawans then walked away. They had things to do and people to protect, innocents who needed the jedi to act like jedi. This led them to Hutt space and a few odd jobs helping the people. It was a welcome change of pace and Matsu used the time to avoid the jedi order she didn't want to deal with it the leaders were more inept then the previous council and those ones fell to the darkside.

It was a special occasion, Tessa's birthday had come and as Matsu flew with the young girl excuse woman to Ilum to make a lightsaber it was a time of meditation and contemplation. Tessa was bright one of Matsu's shining stars for a padawan and very skilled in the force and her saberstaff but then she also thought about what she said. It was a fresh change of pace from all her padawan who let their passions dictate their actions. As they arrived on Ilum, Matsu and Tessa trekked out into the snow to have Tessa guide them. She wanted to make sure the girl knew how to sense the force energy of the crystals and it was a small trek as they made wonderful time. When the entered the cave Matsu made sure Tessa was ready with the parts needed, she would have to find her own crystal and take the time to build the staff. Matsu didn't know how long it would take so she remained at the top of the stairs and meditated to pass the time recalling all that had happened and what she believed could happen. She imagined Tessa as a fierce knight and trainer teaching other padawans the error of their ways and then being nice or her version without a smile to the ones who got her teachings.When Tessa finished and approached with her saber Matsu was very proud of her there was only one test remaining and that was to test the saber and make sure it was working properly. It was a success and they headed back to the ship to continue with her training there was a small party on board with some celebration but Matsu knew the girl was serious about herself. She needed to have some fun.

To get the taste from her mouth and redeem her failure... well what was called her failure to lead Matsu joined as a bodyguard her friend Ebberla for a tournament and grinned at the opportunity. They wre going to a Sabaac game and it was high stakes more then Matsu was willing to risk so she was playing subordinate to Ebberla but still in charge of the mission. As they arrived and it began Matsu and Ebberla both noticed a strange feeling coming from the room but couldn't see it whoever it was was very talented at concealing themselves and so they continued to observe the games. Matsu chatted during a break with a large Mandalorian who she suspected knew more then he was talking about always and was rather intrigued, he explained the rules of the games to her while Ebberla prepared for the next game. At dinner that night they ate partially in silent not wanting to talk about things in public but discussed what they had felt that night as the first and major round of the tournament ended. In the morning Matsu joined the Baron and the mandalorian for breakfast and it was revealed that her and Ebberla were jedi. The baron seemed to take it well and continued the game excusing himself for the bathroom as it went on and escaping. When he sabotaged the casino they were in to send it into the gas giant Matsu and Ebberla scrambled to save the people and get out themselves. They survived and reported on the mission luckily Matsu had gotten the winners purse which was the whole of the barons estate and well that was good form for them.

Matsu had a plan a very good plan, she was going to go to Veeshas Tuwan and explore. It was an ancient sith library and well if there were any artifacts to be found it would be a big boon for them. With Mitya and Lamia and being joined by Chora who she had spent the travel time cuddling with in bed. She was more then happy, her lover was here with her the woman she cared about and would do anything to protect. When they finally touched down Matsu went out first and was joined by the others as they descended into the ruins of the great library that at one point got so big you couldn't find anything in it. They set off and were trying to find anything they could and they came to a fork. Lamia went with Mitya and Matsu went with Chora. They found a mural depicting an ancient jedi falling to the darkside and building the library. As they continued deeper down into the dark hallway Chora was chasing something some energy as she found an alcove that opened to show the woman's final resting place and her vault. They went with caution into it getting past the small traps until they found her legacy to which Chora had been drawn. The force presence was small not very powerful but in time past when it might have been oppressed now after all this time it was the strongest and shined like a dark beacon. Chora was seduced and donned the woman's clothing and took her weapons as she gave in and fell to the darkside the promise of power being too great. It was disheartening but Matsu couldn't give up she had to get through to Chora and as Chora attacked her the jedi master went on the defensive speaking between small breaks in the fight and trying to push herself into Chora's mind to save her. It was working but it wasn't a big enough jolt and Matsu was determined to not let her lover fall to darkness as she made a decision. As Chora attacked her with the force Matsu stopped fighting and took it she felt tight as her body constricted and was pulled closer for a finishing blow. IT worked Chora couldn't do it and as the two women embraced on the floor of the library Matsu asked a question to which she got a yes. Chora was safe her darkness tossed aside and taken away.

Matsu found herself on Rion and after going through the debris field of the Indomitable she had to give a smirk and a grin. The ship was gone with the planet surviving and that meant the people were safe so despite what might have been said she hadn't failed. With a satisfied grin Matsu exited the ship and strolled around the town taking in the few sights and went to an eatery. As she was enjoying a meal a sith appeared and was acting strange. She was willing to brush it off as he didn't seem to know where he was but a sith this far in Alliance space was not good it could be a herald for invasion or just he was here to cause an uprising and show how the alliance wasn't able to handle everything or anything as the case seemed to be. Confronting him was interesting to say the least he didn't seem all together there in the head and barely seemed to register her at first. It wasn't a matter of bringing weapons to the fight she was a jedi master and he an acolyte stoned out of his mind so he let him leave in peace taking his madness with him. As the situation calmed down and the Sith departed Matsu returned to her ship and had the Harrowing track the sith vessel to make certain it returned to Sith space.

Matsu returned to Coruscant after some time to meet a new padawan. She had spent enough time away and meeting Dread was interesting to say the least. He had a long family history and she was curious about it. As they met and talked he got the impression he wanted to do much which she could teach. Slowly they began training on the roof of the jedi temple with Fey who was sparring with the man. It was slow at first he didn't know Fey was a droid but then when he learned he got used to it and tried to win it wasn't pretty Fey gave one solid cloths line when he jumped into it and sent him flying back and damaging him internally. He was upset to say the least but some quick healing and bacta let him continue on to work with his force powers. He was talented but preoccupied and this distraction paired with his over zealous nature in training led Matsu to submit him to the reassignment council. She had believed he could do great things just not as a normal jedi maybe a healer or one of the instructors.

Matsu continued Tessa's training by delving into the mental aspects of the force and how to communicate with plants and animals. They went to Tython and far enough away from the temples that it was just Matsu and her padawan. Tessa was herself... serious and not altogether playful but as she listened and learned you had to be kind in your speech with nature lest it just ignore you like so many others. As the time passed Tessa did learn how best to commune with the flowers and trees to get them to help her. Talking with the animals for her proved difficult as the only one they had was Karma. Slowly but surely Tessa opened up and seemed to have a little fun playing hide and seek using her newly trained abilities. It wasn't much of a game she also used her other abilities to ignore the new ones short comings. Matsu wouldn't call her on it just offer advice as they walked back towards the temple and the ship. Later that night Matsu tried testing her padawan again but the girl always so serious had none of it.

Following the mission with Ebberla, Matsu took another one a less hectic one that involved meeting with the Imperial knights. She was accompanied by Tessa and Arek. The two were to follow her lead and as they arrived at the estate Matsu had her interest piqued. An odd place but upon meeting the imperial knights and beginning the conversation it became apparent everything that could go wrong was going to. Tessa and Arek were comparing the possible alliance that shouldn't have to be made as other things and wanting to make terms. Matsu couldn't have that jedi did not set terms they did not demand anything and so she wouldn't. The jedi would help the knights if they needed it because that is what they did there should be no other reason then helping friends. The knights seneschal seemed dismayed by Arek and Tessa's actions of speaking out of turn it showed where sadly the jedi needed to better learn organization and procedure.

Matsu after the mission continued to train her padawans on the Harrowing but with the growing need for things and safety a small cruiser wasn't enough. She started tos hop around and came with the Enlightenment another more heavily armed cruiser that could protect the training vessel and would provide support if needed. It wasn't much but slowly and with the help of her family on Emberlene the ship was bought being coined a mobile Shadow Guard training ground. It was but it would also train jedi and she had to follow a certain set of rules for the ship as dictated by the house mother Rukia. She would have to find an all female crew and they would have to be primary Shadow Guards to best defend it. Some others could be involved but the ship was for thr the family and such had to be conducted as so. Matsu agreed and so her family began working on the Enlightenment cruiser to build with credits and contacts. It wouldn't be ready for some time but Matsu could be patient as she went back to the jedi to teach more.

JEDI TEACHER:

Ophenia the blind girl Matsu had rescued and brought to the jedi was finally after having to undertake the initiate courses and training allowed to return to her master. It was a happy day Matsu hadn't seen her for months and now she was training a very promising pupil as they began late at night and slowly Matsu got her comfortable with using the force for more then sight. It was a process of learning and Ophenia didn't know how to expend her sight to focus on other things beyond simply living so Matsu had to show her. The training took them from the mountain temples of Tython to the main jedi academy as they flew across the trees and rivers into the mess hall and training rooms. The first rays of morning peeked as Matsu and Ophenia were sparring and making ready for a trip to the lake country of Naboo. It was to help center of padawan who was like a sponge and learning everything she taught. Ophenia learned the basics of kinetite, electric judgement even alter environment like she had been practicing for years and this caused a point of pride for Matsu. So many had failed and had to be reassigned and now she had a star a true star pupil in Ophenia who also revealed more about her past as they worked on mind probes and thought shields. As they moved into meditation traces Matsu had Ophenia enter one while she transported her to the ship and made ready to Naboo. Her padawan awoke surprised but glad as they touched down and began more intense training using the waterfall to focus on only the force and block out the sharp sting of the freezing water. Ophenia was afraid of the water since she couldn't swim and Matsu promised she would teach her and keep her safe as they trained into the night and next day.

Taking some advice form one of her padawans before he was reassigned Matsu worked on training the mental aspects of the force. Mainly her telekinesis with the elements. She had the earth with plant surge but water, fire and ice were a nice thing to be able to use as well. It was a slow process but Matsu found the time to train as she and the padawans went around the galaxy. They trained and practiced stopping over on each planet as they did for supplies and to take in the local situation. The outer worlds were neglected by the Alliance at times in favor of the more inner core and rich so the people on their farms needed help. A position Matsu was more then willing to assume as she and others plied their duties as peacekeepers and helpers to barter for supplies or just for altruistic reasons. The learning experience was important not the rewards but getting o practice their skills with the masses would be a boon for any jedi.

Matsu after a few weeks of training with her students and crew returned to Coruscant. Mitya was back also and she hadn't seen her friend for awhile. They went out for the night with Matsu wearing a traditional kimono and Mitya wore a nice dress. As they went to a club Matsu was curious now that they were both masters if anything had really changed for Mitya and nothing had much. For either of them they were the same people as before just with a higher rank. The same problems still persisted and presented themselves in foolish orders given by to Matsu an increasingly arrogant council. As the night waned on Matsu and Mitya had some drinks and talked about her life before the jedi growing up on Naboo and how she liked being free. Slowly Matsu admitted she was a little envious and when they went to dance and show off some force enhanced jedi dance moves. They partied into the night and enjoyed the moment as they were at peace.

Despite her annoyances with most of the jedi higher ups Matsu continued to teach classes when she could. Another she had ready was a maze that would teach a number of different things and it seemed to. Well the students who came were more then ready They began with a map and were told several things mainly what they should have been taught.. She knew her students were prepared in ability but their execution would be th real test. As the maze got underway Matsu sealed them inside and observed from the shadows with Risty while they first fought off Fey and she only realized one of them picked up her lack of a force presence. She was a droid with a single purpose and they all jumped in for the attack despite being easily over powered by her strength . Her blade could easily shatter their defenses while they ran back and away towards the central clearing. There they met Ayva a jedi knight and were tested in their weaknesses and seemed to be doing well for the most part. As Matsu continued to watch them complete the task she joined Ayva and got the report on each of them. Next they were confronted with Samantha and her rather unique antics, they were all willing to help rather then complete the maze and scored high while their next part of confronting her transformed slightly failed. Instead of them working to soothe her they all tried to make her listen to them a flawed plan as four voices plus her own aggravated the Felecat. Finally they came to the last section and encountered Matsu in first a question and then a duel. At the end of the course the winner was presented with a lesson and could be taught anything they wished to learn from the jedi master.

Matsu spent several months preparing it was time well spent and as Lamia waited on Ruusan for a few weeks in meditation Matsu read up on what she was going to have to do. She had to change biology but that was harder then she thought instead she had learned you could overwrite and not destroy it would be just as dangerous but the risk was a little lower. At first she and Lamia talked and Matsu believed this was the only way possible for Lamia to be accepted by the jedi. A foolish and arrogant notion maybe but the grandmaster gave no other choice he refused to believe the history or that freewill was a factor. Matsu began the process by focusing with the art of the small until she could see each and every one of Lamia's cells then she slowly pushed her own onto Lamia. It was a dangerous process and Matsu could feel the strain but she kept at it She needed to replace each and every cell that she could and make Lamia no longer purely dependent on the darkside. Just the ability to feed on the force itself would work, it meant she didn't just feed on the darkside. Slowly and as she stood there Matsu felt the strain finally as she finished and her body gave away. She could taste the blood and feel it in warm streaks coming down her face where she was bleeding and Lamia took her back to the ship.

Matsu had terrible visions while in a coma, she couldn't help it. She could feel her padawans and friends and everything they were doing. There was Chora's darkside she knew it was there just refused to see it. There was her half sisters caring and she regretted they did not get to spend as much time together. There was her friends Kelly and Mitya who were doing what they had to do to protect the people. She could feel Ebberla training and then there was Lamia. Her padawan had went to meet with someone Matsu knew. From Taris a sith and she knew it was not the first time. It was disheartening that Lamia's want to prove the middle path best made her her own enemy. The jedi could not just meet with sith and talk it wasn't allowed. Matsu couldn't allow it, she didn't mind if her padawans were not as stringent to the lightside as she was but just disregarding things was dangerous and when she felt Lamia next to her she woke up. It was an interesting talk to say the least and not one she enjoyed Lamia was being as stubborn as ever and saw nothing wrong with her actions which saddened Matsu. It would lead to trouble down the road not just for her but she couldn't and wouldn't lie about it. Her padawan was associating with forces and it was dangerous given the state of things were with the attack on the Will of the Force and Martial law being implemented in the Sith Imperium.

Matsu was in bed studying when Tessa entered, the girl was there for more training in mental powers and Matsu was happy to oblige. First she and Tessa perused the datapads andd holocrons for other stuff to learn as the jedi master lounged and began the mind probing. Tessa was supposed to keep her out a feat Matsu admitted she would neither do not worry about. Matsu wasn't going to force herself into Tessa's mind it would have been dangerous and Matsu knew what to do and say to get her off balance. For a few hours her and Tessa practiced and then switched off with Tessa working to force herself into Matsu's mind. It was not easy for Tessa to accept but she couldn't do it as Matsu continued to read and wrapped her shields tight to hold them up. She had always done it and a young skilled mind you padawan wasn't going to just get to walk into her head. The training session ended with Matsu giving Tessa a datapad for a solo mission she could complete and that they would be with her. She would leave the ship but remain in constant contact with Matsu and the others while doing her mission.

It had been a month since Matsu had seen Mitya, her friend was back and seeing the council for reasons Matsu did not know. When she met her something was different there was an gruffness to Mitya. More light around the shoulders and eyes she didn't seem to be burdened and Matsu was curious as she talked with her friend and learned the truth. Mitya had defected and left the jedi order. She didn't fall she had instead found herself in the Mandalorians and Matsu understood. It was hard at first she wanted to call Mitya an idiot but she couldn't admonish her friend she could only hope she was safe and protected. As they continued to talk about it Matsu came to understand more and more about Mitya's decision and she approved mainly because her friend had stayed on the path of the light. As long as she did that Matsu had and saw no problem with it.

Matsu after she returned to the jedi temple met Bella, a Naboo heiress who was in the order. The girl was young but very skilled and had promise. As the training session started Matsu was also pleased that she finally had a student that was smaller then her. It was a welcome change of pace and the two talked while practicing their stances and saber techniques. Matsu showed her the basics of Ateru and how to enhance her strength with the force. Slowly they worked to build muscle mass and get the proper motions. Then they moved onto force powers with Matsu teaching her padawan how to catch and absorb as well as throw electric judgement from her hands. When Bella could use it they moved to enhancing saber strikes with it. Finally they moved onto passive force powers to augment the body and mind like thought shield and comprehension. After their training session Matsu presented her padawan with a saber for training purposes and protection.

LAMIA'S TRIAL:

Qyv was a skillful padawan and had under Matsu been working towards knighthood as she trained him in the aspects of the force. He was talented and she had very little to actually teach him left. His skills with the saber rivaled hers which wasn't saying much but it meant he could survive and use them when needed. His skill in the force was great and he knew to use it not to try and just focus on his dreams and visions. It was a dark path they led him on and she warned him against it. They continued to talk about other stuff mainly when he would be ready for the trials and she was prepared to submit him for them. her standing with the jedi may not have been great but she was still a master and so her words had more weight in sending him through. He might have to jump through whatever hoop the grandmaster places before him but that is because the old man was just petty and didn't like she preferred to study and learn rather then act like a snobbish bitch to everyone else.

Uh the beginning of the end, Matsu was reading up with a few of her padawans when she felt it first. Lamia was scared and fearing for her life for some reason but more importantly she was in the same temple as Matsu. When it was over Matsu remained where she was sending the others away and feeling the approaching jedi knight Deloi and Lamia rolled her eyes. the aristocratic asshole seemed entitled and no matter what she said he was right which would make her go from annoyed to bored if she stayed and she didn't plan on that. When he confronted her about what she taught to her padawan Matsu calmly explained electric judgement in the smallest clearest words she could so his brain didn't overheat. It was all for naught as she accused her of teaching the darkside and spouted how he was going to take it before the council and blady blady blah she stopped listening when the door closed and she returned to her ship with Lamia. She had had enough of the stuffy elitist jedi of the order and was going where things made sense.

After a few days Matsu returned to Tython and to the library, she was interested in checking out a few more holopads for her personal library and ran into Tsume. She had lost track of his progress within the order and was sad about that but from the outside he seemed to be doing well. As she talked with him that was not the case and it seemed he had been the subject of teasing and anger in the time following the attack on the Will of the Force. Matsu talked with him and even offered to talk with his master about it but he didn't want her to. As she was about to leave Matsu offered to help teach Tsume some diplomacy and they worked to settle a few small arguments between padawans then returned to the temple. Matsu thanked the your padawan for allowing her to help him and departed on better terms as she felt something and made quick work to return to Coruscant. She couldn't believe it.

Matsu hurried back to Coruscant. She had felt a convergence in the force and her heart filled with happiness as she rushed. When she got there she could feel it and tracked the person to a port and then to the temple. Matsu dressed to impress but also to be recognized as she saw the familiar form exiting the temple and waved. Adonia had returned and Matsu was static after all this time her best friend was home in the temple. They talked about everything and Matsu learned about Adonia's master and what happened as she talked about her life's changes. From Chora and her to her rise to jedi master rank and all the training she had done. It was a fun few hours and when they were done there was only one thing left to do... They both readied themselves as Matsu gave up trying to plot a course and just ran into the city with Adonia behind and next to her. They still had the same pace and running into the crowds and past the vendors was exciting as it felt like the old days. Through the city they ran and made a scene with onlooker commenting about jedi antics and how did they have the time with the war but this was needed. It showed Adonia could still move like a jedi and with no Master Matsu was preparing to take the reigns for her friend as they promised. For a number of hours they ran through the city and it ended with first a large leap across a gap and then a sprint towards the jedi temple where they got picked up by the Harlequin after jumping into it. Adonia agreed to become Matsu's padawan and she began to train her friend right away in all that she had learned as a jedi historian.

On Tython Matsu was busy getting more holocrons and datapads for her ship libraries to teach the students when she got the news that Lamia was being contained until after her trial. She was accused of using the darkside and corrupting jedi teachings a charge brought on by Deloi and riled into a frenzy by the grandmaster as his excuse to finally cast her out. Matsu was sickened by it and busy seeing what she could find to maybe help out but she doubted highly anything worthwhile would come of it. They wouldn't listen to her instead all they wanted was someone who was acting like a jedi gone. So she after loading up the ship went to find Adonia and met with another padawan as they searched a temple. It was strange Matsu felt cold and deathly chills from the halls as she walked but as she went it became more apparent that something was happening and this intrigued her. Upon meeting Adonia and the padawan she was told of the situation and what had happened with some detail and agreed the padawans should go and report to the council.

When they arrived on Coruscant Matsu, Adonia and Teore continued towards the council chambers. Matsu set her personal distaste for the current council aside and met with the battlemaster who dismissed her as unneeded. Matsu remained outside and talked with Serin about what they might be having to do since she didn't plan on letting Adonia run off by herself. After some time Teore and Adonia returned out to her and she was called back in. The battlemaster wanted her to observe Teore and report on him, she agreed nd accepted him as a padawan for the time then left not really wanting to be bothered more with council affairs since they were leading a witch hunt to exile her padawan. They set off for Corellia.

On Corellia, Matsu began her search with Teore and Adonia. She was briefed fully on everything and with her crew set up a plan of action. They were looking for a dark jedi and some place hidden so sensors and the droids were paramount to the job. While she and Teore with Adonia searched the settlement for clues the droids and a few crew would handle the caves and explore. They got a clue and a few rumors that Matsu went off to check mainly sending the droids in to the caves while she tried to sense anythign strange. [more to come thread in progress]

Matsu returned from Corellia and the events that had happened. It was the final verdict from Lamia's trial and she wasn't surprised to hear the results. The grandmaster had exiled her. Truthfully it was no surprise at all and Matsu hadn't even had a second thought about what she would do when exile came. She was leaving the order it had become to corrupt and the leaders were worse then the previous set. At least Beric and Augustine were assholes but they listened at times. The grandmaster, battlemaster, lore master, sage master and prime envoy were terrible at their jobs and only three of them seemed to care that they now had position. Her respect for the battle master was shot as he encouraged them to stand up and voice their opinions then became a n egotistical wreck who like the grandmaster valued those who kissed his ass rather then those who helped in the order. But she couldn't act alone and as Matsu made the decision she discussed it with each of her padawans. Several decided to come with her while two stayed behind. She didn't fault them, Tessa was young and the jedi was all she knew and Adonia had just come back.

[insert image]

Before she could leave the order Matsu had to with her few padawans do a few things and this came as contacting Myra Subach again. As they met she and the woman discussed many things including her decision. She didn't know where she would go but the Harrowing and her other ships were not equipped to protect them all. Myra agreed and for some money but also services rendered Matsu was able to get the Harrowing refitted for service in protecting her padawans. While her crews and padawans helped with the refitting Matsu visited Myra's ship to go to her warehouse and talk. There she was introduced to nearly a dozen droid variants and upon request dueled and sparred with them to show how they could hold up to a jedi master. It was met with mixture of her overpowering some and pointing out the weaknesses of others. The heavily armored ones were slow and the lightly armored ones could be lifted and messed with easily. As they continued a few droid types Matsu acquired for the ships to help crew and secure. Then they lined up another job something small but that could prove fruitful.

With the Harrowing still in dock being refitted Matsu with Myra headed out in the Harlequin and one of her ships for Lehon system. She was following a legend that the ancient jedi of Tython recorded about the Rakatan. Slowly after some debate and math it was decided to search close to the species home system and span out from there. As they got there the search got underway. After a few hours an anomaly was detected and the ships moved with sensors getting flared as they searched near the sun and found it. A white spot on the glow of the sun and with Matsus force powers pulled it out. It was taxing and the jedi master had to be carried to her room but they were able to explore the ancient ship and get it fully towed back into the hanger of the Harlequin. After more examination of the ship it was found to be in good enough condition and after some minor repair the Sol Bianca was returned to the jedi master who went to work trying to find a crew for it. Its size was near that of the Harlequin and its ancient weapons were upgraded but not at the detriment of its speed. The Ultrachrome even after eons was still as effective as ever thanks to the force enhancements that made it tougher and more durable.

Matsu made a choice, She had decided to leave the order already that much was certain but she also knew that traveling around the galaxy was a good way to be swallowed up by the Sith Empire and that would endanger her padawans. As she made the notice in the council chamber with her final look upon them Matsu said good bye to her friends and headed for Jade La Fey. Jade got her in touch with others and she found herself in space awaiting Rouge as soon the Excalibur came and greeted them. Matsu continued to the ship and with a few of the padawans met the Knight Commander of the Imperial knights. She needed to give her padawans a home someplace they could rest and the knights were safe haven compared to what could happen by staying in the galaxy. As they talked she admitted she respected the commander and regaled her with what brought about the current state of affairs that led to them coming to join her. She and the padawans were welcomed with some observations that were expected and soon after she and them all began their training.

Matsu sat down as she looked at Rouge and spoke. "Where to begin? It started with the old Grandmaster Beric when he exiled Kelly Cross. She may not have walked fully in the light but she has never been dark. She is grey and follows the code of Luke Skywalker closely. After Beric and Augustine left the order... At first it seemed fine the new Grandmaster was doing what he could. Then things changed the council seemed more concerned with ego and them being given control of the Alliance wasn't the best. Last time we were accused of trying to take over it was a lie and a purge happened now we actually did it. Then the attack on the Will of the Force and only silence befell the jedi, nothing came of it, nothing happened not even a hint we were preparing for more attacks. We just stood there and turned the other cheek again."

Matsu looked at Rouge as she turned her head to observe the seneschal. "I was with the jedi sent to meet with your men, I didn't know one of us had an agenda and was told to force terms on you. We were jedi we shouldn't have to set terms to help someone and we should not demand something in return. It doesn't matter you had nothing to offer you are servants of the light means your allies regardless of what a piece of paper says. But the council I guess wanted you on a leash so the dangerous Imperial knights who are all action and no meditation could be controlled with a threat to leave you in the cold or better yet refuse the council on a demand and any location of your men is recorded. Would they follow through with such threats I do not know but if they have the ability I suspect they would use it." Matsu breathed in again as she took a sip. "Soon after I was on a mission and I returned to be labeled evil for calling a retreat. Accused of the darkside it didn't hold because those who know me know that I will always follow the light. Then I felt my old master briefly when away and was saddened. I knew she was alive but she had become something else."

Matsu paused for a moment and breathed in again, she hadn't known anything she had felt her old master when she was in hyperspace traveling from Sump to Naboo and knew she was alive after Tanaab. The feeling from Remy wasn't what she had been expecting it was darker and sad but she had kept going. "Later the real point of our tale, Lamia was in a practice spar with a jedi knight and from what I have learned feared for her life in a spar. So she defended herself with electric judgement and he called her a darksider. When he confronted me I explained the difference between emotions and how jedi can use such a power with positive emotions but he was not listening he took it to the grandmaster and council and Lamia was labeled a darksider despite everything she has done. I could not stand for it and said if she was exiled I would follow because I was the one who taught her. It was an easy decision for the grandmaster he had disliked her since the first time he say her and seemed elated to exile her from th jedi. So I followed and most of my padawan came with me. The ones who stayed I cannot fault or blame it is the only life they have known."

"But I am not a fool commander I cannot protect all of them by myself. I was a jedi master and very skilled but I do not think myself all powerful I am a human. I can be broken, killed and beaten same as any and they are padawans my guidance can help and save them at times sure. What they need is a place where they can stay in the light and help the people. The jedi no longer offers that service is has become more of an aristocracy where the Grandmaster and council only care about the ones who lick their boots. It is not the jedi I remember it is not the jedi who protect the galaxy, they barely do that anymore the people suffer and die while they sit in the council chamber and enjoy themselves barely coming down." Matsu stopped herself as she looked at Rouge. "So that is our story, we are giving ourselves to you because wandering is dangerous without a place to call home and now I have no standing with the jedi. But I still have all I got while with them. The Harrowing is a marvel for training force users and its sister ship the Enlightenment is just as useful. I was surprised when your Seneschal didn't go and retrieve it I gave him coordinates."

LEAVING THE ORDER:

After Matsu officially joined the knights the first step was to not cut ties but she knew she would not be welcomed on most jedi worlds. This was fine but she made sure that she could contact Ebberla, Chora, Adonia and the others. It was easier said then done but after some messages she had a line of contacts within the jedi who could keep her informed. Mainly former students and friends. The value of being the kind master instead of the super uptight one she would muse. They also were able to send her small items of interest and relics they got instead of logging them in as she continued to adorn the Harrowing central chamber with more stuff. The clandestine trips to several dig sites the jedi had where she met her students helped as the training Imperial knight worked to improve relations and solidify friends. One such trip took her deep into the outer rim where she met with a humanoid species and after some discussion came to a decision of what could be done. She used her own DNA and alchemy along with some of Chora's and a progenitor species. [[third race used for breeding purposes]] to provide the basis for daughters. It was a lengthy process but as the children were born and with alchemy aged rapidly until they were about fifteen to sixteen. Matsu continued to train in secret reporting into the Imperial knights daily about her activities and meeting when needed. it wasn't the finest hour for her but the life of and Imperial knight wasn't much different from a jedi except she got to help people and with Knight Commander rouge at the helm the knights seemed to be far more accepting and altruistic then the jedi.

Matsu made her return from the outer rim after a number of months in seclusion. When she came back Noriko and Reiko were with her as students after their final process was done and they got reset to normal aging methods. Slowly Matsu readjusted to life of helping the people. but now it wasn't in the name of the jedi it was in the name of the knights and she made sure they knew who to call for problems. The other part of her return was to scour the ruins of Ossus for anything of value and she did bringing her family and crew to help as they began to excavate and log whatever they could find. Matsu was glad and brought in the knights to help who wanted to as this wasn't actively protecting the galaxy but the past. She didn't want the sith war machine to roll over and destroy the artifacts. Slowly but surely Matsu got a few things mainly trinkets and some crystals it was enough and she sent them to a location to be given to Rouge. Her time with the Imperial knights was going more then well she was allowed a freedom to be herself and act like a servant of the light.

Matsu's first job as an Imperial Knight wasn't really a mission. it was to help foster relations between the Knights and the Commonwealth. The mission was simple to salvage a debris field... Matsu could handle that a bunch of old and destroyed ship would be simple enough. Wrong halfway through the job they came across another derelict that hadn't been there. No one knew about it and Matsu was scared to say the least. She hated derelicts and now they had to go on another one. It was easy she first went to the windows and knocked to see if anyone was there but no answer so she did the only real thing required .... Started to vent each room as they went she was taking no chances as they went and ran into the ships AI. After a conversation in which she was really confused about well everything. The AI had been talking about factions and people she didn't know anything about and she tried to read and find out all she could. Slowly they went to engineering and the trap had been sprung with Matsu being attacked by yet another ship and oh she was going to have to have words. As they made their way back to the bridge the ship AI told what really happened and ordered Matsu to kill her as she exposed her console and Matsu did it. They spent the next few hours getting the ship jury rigged for travel and tethered between it and the Harrowing two more. When they arrived at the planet Matsu met with Kael an admiral from the commonwealth and she talked. He was interesting and while she didn't outwardly acknowledge it his species was similar to Lamia's. He was an offshoot of the Sith Pureblodds which raised questions for another time.

[insert image]

Matsu was kicking herself for what she was doing. The Admiral had offered some lucrative things for the knights and that was worth it. They needed it with the duplicity of Myra Subach who only cared for credits. The station was adrift and alone with no one having been there for a century of two. Matsu had called in everyone she could from Emberlene and the Mandalorians to even Kelly Cross who she was happy had decided to come. It was a large party and as the Chai La, Shadow Guards her Imperial knight crew and mercenaries filed out Matsu saw and greeted Kelly and her companion. As they walked through the hanger Matsu did the only things she could think. The station appeared to have minimal power and she sensed nothing major or strange. It was stillness. Matsu made a mistake in her next actions she ripped the doors opened and awakened the stations AI. As they continued in they made the decision to split for the command deck and engineering. Both would help them secure the station. As they Chai La Squad headed out the defenses came online and they fought the Venerated one while Kelly rushed to engineering while Matsu rushed to help the Chai La squad. The fight with the venerated one was troubling it was thick armor plates on top of thick armor plates and the Chai La weapons even Matsu's lightsabers were not being very effective. They needed a new plan and that came when Saki distracted it and the thing stopped... Actually Kelly got the AI to make it stand down but at that moment she had thought it was her. Quickly they made their way up the lift to the CIC and Matsu talked with the AI about the Systems Commonwealth. It was a process but things looked hopeful as the Imperial Knight Marshal discussed what the Commonwealth was from her limited knowledge but she had a computer that could help and some Commonwealth soldiers who could help fill in the blanks.

RELATIONSHIPS

Chora: A Falleen jedi knight who is my one and only love, she has always been there for me and loves me how I am. After Arkania I asked her a question and hope the answer will give us a future.

Saia: My half sister, it was a surprise to me too but she is. I still love her and will miss the taste of her lips but I have Chora to taste. Saia can be my family and guard my heart while Chora guards my body and has my love.

Lamia Kressh: A Sith pureblood who I have taken as my padawan. I have done something dangerous to the both of us. Her body is linked to mine through the force to such a degree we can feel each other and know what the other has learned. It was dangerous and I nearly died but Lamia is able to choose which side of the force she wishes to follow.

Mitya Ivanovna: A fellow jedi master and dear friend, she is with the Mandalorians now but is happy. I cannot fault her only wish her luck and hope she is safe.

Ebberla Daw: A valued friend who I care for, she is skillful and funny and I am proud to say I shed a tear at the thought of leaving her behind in the order. She is one of the few jedi left who have my respect the others are either exiled or beyond stupidity in the blind following of the grandmaster.

Haloburner Lamb: A former friend who threw that friendship in my face. Now I am rid of her and since I have left the jedi order do not have to see my former failed padawan.

OPINIONS

OPINIONS ON JEDI:

Jade Fallon: A jedi master who is very skilled, I only met her once but she was passionate about how we should deal with our enemies. Her arguments with Traven were funny, as he lost his cool and shouted at her. She was serene the entire time and showed proof to back up her opinion.

Kelly Cross: A jedi knight I have made a friend of I think, she seemed upset with my past the same I was upset with hers. Neither of us want to let go so we I think have agreed to disagree about it. After her exile we drifted apart but I saw her the night before the wedding and she seemed fine better even. I think as long as she does not fall to the darkside her path is safe and I support her.

Kara Vaalki: A jedi master who ran a class on combat and the force. She is wise but wants us to come to our own conclusions. I have been admitted to another class of hers. Maybe I impressed her... oh I hope she isn't going to scold me about Kessel. I just remembered, I met Saia in her class.

Akacen Mothturus: Akacen is different, he is a kid but acts like an adult. He seems to prefer studying to practice and while a good boy. He drives Saia batty so by friend law I have to scowl at him until he acknowledges Saia and either say no he doesn't like her or yes he does. Now that he seems to have grown taller and more muscled he is kind of cute in that feminine way.

Aÿisha Remy: My old master who I care about, she disappeared and I have picked up what she left behind. I miss her deeply and would love to talk with her about things mainly Halo acting as my padawan.

Samara Galloway: A jedi padawan I met on Tython, she has a large Nexu and comes from a world where there are not many trees. She seems nice and I hope we can be friends.

Cat: A ruggedly handsome jedi knight who specializes as a brawler. He is fast and strong with a large expanse of chest but too hard. He is too toned for my liking and well I respect him to much to feel anything other then comradely with him.

Kemp Aeschylos: A fellow padawan, he died I heard with Jarak in battle. He was a great man and I will miss him.

Hal Kailas: A padawan who I have met several times, he is a good man and wants to learn. When we all played around with the water buckets to practice force powers I saw him and Akacen team up to take on me and Saia.

Arek Dinallis: A padawan I met in the woods, he seems strange afraid to remove his hood and has headaches. When he came to my class I think, he was sick and lost.

FEMALE

Lamia Kressh: A Sith pureblood who I have taken as my padawan. I hope to help her redeem her race or at least make a name for them that they aren't all evil. She has found an ancient family sword and given me a translation talisman.

Melira D'von: A selphi padawan I have trained and trained with. She taught me Niman form and peace of mind in channeling the force and I came through with my promise to get her knighted. She has since went on to do good things I hope.

Haloburner Lamb: A padawan I took on after Remy disappeared, she has since failed after reaching knight status. I fear for her padawans.

Tessa: A student I met on Coruscnt and she is very knowledgeable about the force and her own skills. I made her an offer and she has accepted to be my padawan . She now lives aboard the Harlequin and is apart of the crew.

Ophenia: A blind girl I rescued from Taris, her sith masters were making her fight in the arena's. She is now my padawan and aboard my ship. I will protect her until she is ready then hope for the best. It is all I can do.

Bella'in Moonraider: A young padawan I have taken under my tutelage , she is talented and from Naboo but I do not know much more about her. She will be taught well and seems to take to my teaching methods.

Adonia Xylona: My oldest friend and now my padawan. It is strange saying that but we agreed that if we excelled in our training. I am going to continue what her master started and teach her all I know.

Fanai: My fifth padawan she is cute and adorable and I am willing to train her to use her powers. She better be ready for the stuff I have planned.

Niasa D'smase: A Trandoshan I have met a handful of times, I have taken her as my padawan and she seems to be happy about it. The idea that she likes to hunt humans is a little unsettling but I think I can help her.

Ardana Passik: A female twi-lek I have taken as my padawan. I don't know much about her but she is a good person. i look forward to teaching her.

Zanna Cypher: A young female padawan skilled in acrobatics and survival. I am teaching her whatever she likes. She is also trained in Niman which is a nice change of pace from my other padawan.

MALE

Sorn Sinclair: A padawan I have chosen, he impressed me on Coruscant with his technical knowledge. He seems to be one of the more advanced and older then me.

Gin Lur: A fresh faced Kel=dor padawan who I am going to be spending more time with, he is brand new to the order. Means I will have to teach him everything the younglings learn first.

James Orktas: A tall padawan who I picked, he seemed to be ignored so I will take him. I spent a long time without a master so I wanted to help this child.

Varrion Rhys: A miraluka I met on Tython, he is fairly skilled in the force and young. I was given him from another jedi knight named Kunda. I will be teaching him how to use a blade.

Dass Lombrana: Another padawan of mine, after one disappeared I took him under my wing. I don't know much more about him.

Jeal Korthas: A padawan I met awhile ago, he was being hunted by a young sith and she fled. I don't know much about him but he was with Naisa.

Kaji Pesanka: An other padawan I have taken making it eleven. He is skilled and I will hopefully learn a lot from him.

Qyv Xinn: Another padawan I have taken on. He is a half Zeltron jedi and talented. I believe I can learn as much from him as he can from me.

OPINIONS ON INDEPENDENTS:

Akira Ven: A female Togruta I met on a mandalorians world... I forgot the name. She was sick more so with a common symptom but she didn't have the immune system to fight it. I healed her as best I could and we talked.

THE IKE FAMILY

The Ike family, a beautiful matrimony of love and complacency within the galaxy, has been scattered across the galaxy and has existed this way for five hundred years. Along with the extensive amount of children known for their skills within the force and leadership, the family is highly matriarchal and equally divided, one side highly supportive of the true empire and imperial knights; and side of the family includes a clan of Mistryl Shadow Guards. An all female hierarchy of protectors and bodyguards. This is how the family has always been using the government for centuries to hide their secret in plain sight and operate.

REN PO IKE

The matriarch of the Ike family and a former Shadow Guard. She was in her prime highly trained and now raises and guides the family with the death of her husband Dokai. She is still alive on Emberlene and one of the eleven elders.

DOKAI IKE

The tyrannical patriarch of the family, a fierce and powerful Imperial knight who punished the darkside. He trained his two granddaughters after their mother died in child birth to be tough fighters and Imperial kngihts. When he retired from the Knights he went to Rhen Var and opened a temple at the top of a high mountain and trained those who came to him. When the purge came he was killed but not before training one last student his adopted great grand child Matsu.

KATAGIRI IKE

A strong Imperial knight who trained under her grandfather until he retired. Dedicated to the Order but also to her family line Katagiri made a promise on the deathbed of a prisoner who was wronged and swore to honor it. She trained the girl in what she would need to know to live and fight. When she died on Rhen Var at the purge her legacy lived on with Matsu.

MEIKO IKE

Sister to Katagiri and a dangerous Imperial knight, she was sent to Mytus VII system before the purge to investigate and imprisoned when it happened. For ten years she was kept in a cell and fed just enough to be kept alive. She was rescued by Imperial knights and brought back home. Her skills before the purge were in diplomacy and piloting but her family skills were always in stealth.

MATSU IKE

The adopted daughter of Katagiri and a fully trained jedi master. She has become a sort of teacher learning all she can and only when her padawan was exiled did she choose to leave the jedi and come to the Imperial knights. A family tradition and something that feels like home.

NORIKO IKE AND REIKO IKE

Alchemically created children from Matsu and a progenitor from a humanoid species. They gestated fast and grew up faster do to their origins and share their mothers strength in the force and bonding abilities. A secondary effect is pheromones and when they are using the force their eyes shift to a fiery gold. It is not a known thing and Matsu has hidden them away from other pretending they are simply students on her ship. Noriko is the more playful with a smile on her face always while Reiko is serious. Both children know what they are and who their mother is but love her just the same regardless. By all standards they are human.

RUKIA IKE

The current head of the Ike house and leader of their group of Shadow Guards. Cunning and loyal to her mother she has many daughters and chooses where to send them in the galaxy to best make money to continue to support the people of their home planet.

YANSIGISAWA IKE

The husband of Rukia and a mercenary. He is a good man good father but knows that his family is special he can protect them but at the same time he can't be with them so he acts as their pilot and contact for worlds.

That's actually a lot of pics. I advice you to take out a few, or perhaps put them in a spoiler. Or just post the links. =)

Syn · Aug 24, 2011

I could do spoilers, that works thanks for the advice....

Deloi · Aug 24, 2011

I really like this character however I can't help but feeling like I've seen that girl somewhere.

Syn · Aug 24, 2011

Well if your a fan of asian cinema from the 70's and 80's then that is Meiko Kaji.

Recently well most recent people have learned about her because she sang the theme songs to the kill bill movies.

She was also with Sonny Chiba for the female yakuza movies.

Ahh She is still in a bunch of Japanese tv shows but her most famous roles were as Lady Snowblood and Female Prisoner Scorpion.

Dread · Aug 24, 2011

Too many pictures take away from your writing. Which means you're distracting viewers from the most important part of your profile. IMO.

Syn · Aug 24, 2011

Thanks Radzkie and thanks for that thing to condense the links. I forgot how to do that.

Then I realized it was in the box for posting and felt really stupid.

Syn · Aug 24, 2011

Alright images are in spoilers
