The training of Valen.

[Venom]

Valen had come to Ando prime due to a man he had met telling him that it was the only place that one could go to truly be trained with the force. He had told him that the Jedi were weak, and not deserving of someone with Valen's potential. That Valen would only reach his true strength by working and training with them.

So, Valen had come to this nasty, cold, planet in hopes of learning how to use the force. The people here weren't really what he had been expecting. Most of them seemed to be cruel, violent, or just angry with the galaxy. He found most of their reasons for wanting to unlock their full potential to be humorous, reasons like revenge, or some inner psychopathic instinct. Well, whatever, he was here now. And he had already spent enough time here waiting for a master that going back before anything happened was really not an option.

He sat in a room that he had been told to wait in by someone a little while ago. It was a medium size room, and it was somewhat dark inside, not to Valens liking, but it would do. He was wearing black robes that he had been given when he had first got here. He had them over his normal clothes however, as it helped to lessen the coldness of the whole damned place.

Zeep found his apprentice's room using the force and his sense of smell. He stood in the doorway looking at the black-robed human before him. His towering furry frame blocked the light from the hallway. "Hello, my name is Zeep. I am master to you, you will follow Zeep's commands or be killed by Zeep. Do you know what Zeep and others here are?" Zeep asked, his speech was tough to understand for some humans, as his knowledge of Galactic Basic wasn't perfect.

Luckily for Valen, Zeep had learned how to control his anger instead of throwing rages like he had in his childhood. With his anger controlled, Zeep could now actually think somewhat clearly, and had the small amount of patience required to train a Dark jedi.

Valen would have loved to make some sort of smart comment as a response, but he liked to be in one piece, and angering a Wookie was not a very good way to remain intact. Though, the fact that someone as fierce as a wookie who could use the force was training him made him pretty hopeful for his future strength. Keeping on his master's good side would be imperative.

"I am grateful to have you be my Master then Zeep. As well as I am glad to meet you. The rules seem to be quite simple, and I will do my best not to disappoint you." He could understand the wookies speech, though it was difficult. He was glad that his question was short and concise.

He thought about Zeep's question for a moment, then answered with what he hoped to be. Which is what he wanted everyone else here to be.

"They are people who use the force, to its full potential, to make themselves stronger. Dark Jedi."

 

[McFisticuff]

"Good, you not dumb. We will begin with anger. Use anger, focus rage, use force to push me." He gestured with his hand and his apprentice slid back a few feet. "Like this, just use more power." Zeep was liking this, he was in control of someone else, instead of being a slave to a master. He could make them do what he wanted. He had power, and he liked it, he hoped he would train many in the future.

 

[Venom]

Valen frowned, and then he was pushed back a few feet. It was an odd sensation, being moved when you could see nothing to push you. He almost slipped because he wasn't really expecting it, but he managed to keep his balance.

The problem with his first task was, that Valen wasn't angry at all, and he wasn't very good at calling up emotions on command. Still, he would try his best. He had used the force before, but it was usually on instinct. He tried to focus on using the force to push back Zeep. There was no anger behind it, but it still carried some amount of force. He wasn't sure how much it would affect a wookie though.

 

[McFisticuff]

Zeep felt the push, like a breeze. "Use anger! Feel anger, use it!" Zeep figured he must make Valen angry. He pushed his fist into open air and Valen flew back 5 feet, landing on his back. That wasn't all Zeep had in mind. He used the force to pick Valen up and carry him right next to Zeep's face. "Weak!!" He yelled in front of Valen's face. Then, he threw Valen against the wall with his hands and said "Angry yet, weakling?"

 

[Venom]

"Ow... damn." Valen muttered after being slammed against the wall. He was afraid for a moment, and then just angry, like he got when the men had randomly tried to kill him at his home before. He tried to think about what happened on that day, and how he had felt. The result wasn't so much a rage as more of a cold fury, but that was about as angry as Valen could get.

This time though, instead of channeling the energy into himself and using it to move faster, he tried to make it explode outwards towards Zeep. TO throw him back, to try to at least move him.

 

[McFisticuff]

Zeep slid back a few feet and said "Fine, good enough, weakling. Lift me now. If you can." His tone was a challenge, he never thought he would have such a weak apprentice, he had imagined he would have a strong one, like Zeep himself. But instead he gets a weakling like this.

OOC:Not my thoughts, Zeep's.

 

[Venom]

I'll show you weak, carpet. Valen thought to himself angrily. This angered him more than the pain, and definitely gave his actions a lot more force behind them. He tried to lift Zeep with the force, but it didn't quite work out how he had planned.

Instead of a lifting him, which Valen thought would require precision and tact. Valen tried to constrict the force around him, to almost crush him with the force. It wasnt so much what he was trying as what he was just doing, almost like instinct. If he felt that was succeeding, he would then lift Zeep, while keeping the tight grip on him. It might choke him a little bit, but it should also lift him off of the ground.

 

[McFisticuff]

Zeep felt his body constrict, it was an average attack, easy enough to stop if you used the force, but it would probably have worked on an ordinary person. He let his apprentice keep constricting him, but he did the same thing to his apprentice, when he was squeezed harder, his apprentice was too. "Zeep said Lift, not squeeze! Try again!"

 

[Venom]

Valen felt the constriction from Zeep, and used the pain to finally do what he was originally supposed to do. He lessened the tightness on Zeep, and focused on lifting him up. He was now finally focusing his anger into what he was trying to do, instead of just letting instinct control his use of the force.

 

[McFisticuff]

"Good, drop Zeep. Now go to the library and see history and code. Then explain to Zeep what they mean." He gestured with his meaty fist toward the door and smiled at his apprentice, it wasn't a pleasant smile, with Zeep's rotting yellow teeth fully exposed out of the dark cavern that was his mouth. Zeep had meant it to intimidate, he wanted his apprentice to move quickly, Zeep's patience was thin.
