(uncertainty anyone?)
The young boy was forced to watch both of the Jedi who brought him here disappear from his presence. Rather than go after him Dak just stood confused as the events unfolded with Quendladose close to him. He couldn't help, but redden in the face as the Fey was being overly friendly for his tastes. Dak was in the presence of women all the time, but whenever it came to girls his age no matter how straightfaced he would appear to be his appearance would be offset by a slight reddening of the face. He always was the shy person when it came to girls his age.
Dak continued to observe and watched the new rather fearful man enter. This new person...Dak couldn't feel too much from him, but not because he was inferior in the Force, a term Dak had now become comfortable using and accepting, but just the opposite. Dak surmised that his capacities weren't high enough to comprehend his power therefore he only sensed a smidgen of what he truly was.
Truly confused as people continued to appear and leave Dak held his head and made his way to a corner. Unsure of himself the "Jedi", the empire and everything else Dak sat with his knees pulled close to his face and hands covering his face as he ducked inside his little shelter. It wasn't as if he didn't want to help or be a part, but to be thrown into the situation with so little knowledge of...everything. It was a bit much for the young boy to handle.
(I don't even know my future yet...kinda interesting at this point.)

((I wasn't g-modding cyber. I said she had the feeling that he blamed her. she wasn't certain. chill))
She looked at Nikos and smiled slightly, nodding in thanks.

Jenno stood there in front of them all, Holt moved forward in a challenging movement. Three options wavered across his mind as he stood un-phased between the others and their ships. A bold position to be in at the moment, stuck between three seemingly wavering light side users and the mission they were so desperate to complete.
Now, these three options stood solidly within his mind. He thought deeply about each. The first was to move aside, head back to the chamber and most likely get the three kicked from their positions, this however would most likely result to inward fighting.
The second and one that Jenno seriously considered was to request the three to stop what they were doing or he would have to use force to stop them. This also would most probably divide the few Jedi that remained and was something that Jenno did want to do.
But, as the third option crossed his mind, memories came flooding. Pain flashed across his mind yet his face remained stern and the feeling was blocked out. He had become good at blocking out the pain and other emotions, perhaps too good.
Jenno coughed briefly, clearing his throat before he spoke. A small smile lay on his face.
[glow=blue,3,400]"A lapdog to my cause? Well, I have to say, that's something I've never heard before."[/glow]
There was a slight pause. A gaze into his eyes. He believed a slight test was in order.
[glow=blue,3,400]"So, how strongly do the three of you believe in this? Enough to fight me?"[/glow]
Within an instant Jenno slid one foot back, knocked off his cape and held two lightsbaers in his hand, they gleamed and waited for their wielder's call. The move was a surprising one, especially from a master. He smiled again, something within his eye that hadn't been there in twenty years. He spoke once more before returning to silence.
[glow=blue,3,400]"I wonder..."[/glow]
The smile stained his face as he stood there... waiting.

Nikos smiled in returne and physically embraced Talau without thought. He opened himself to the Force and let it flow out into the room to be felt by all. The feeling of joy and belonging washed over everyone.
I know I come in time of need. I've felt it throughout my journies that the Jedi are all but extinct. I come to offer my abilities and knowledge if it is wanted.
Nikos turned to the others in the chamber and swept back his hood as he bowed deeply to those he did not know.
Greetings my friends. I am Nikos Reyn Strife, the Fallen and Risen come to your aid. I am at your service.
As soon as he had introduced himself he felt the tension and smelled a battle in the air. He would not allow anyone to shed first blood. This was a time they did not need to fight amonst each other.
Embellishing his voice with the Force he projected his voice throughout the palace for all to hear. His voice was stern yet caring.
Stand down I say. This is not what should transpire. Nor will I allow it or tolerate it. Fore if you go through with the actions you are running through your head, you will answer to me. Stand down I say again.

(sorry, Tal, you said that Holt had said things he never said, so I just assumed you meant as if they had happened.)
Holt reached onto his belt, and removed his lightsaber. He hed it up in front of him, and then tossed it to his Master.
[glow=teal,2,300]"I will not cross blades with you."[/glow]
He said, bowing his head, as if he were surrendering, before raising his forearms and taking a very odd fighting stance.
[glow=teal,2,300]"Now then, I think the rea question is, do you believe strongly enough yourself, to fight me?"[/glow]

gSuch arrogancech
This was all that ran through Verenafs mind as she witnessed Jennofs actions. She was shocked that as a Master of the order, Jenno would draw his sabers against his own. After all she believed while their methods differed, they were inevitably fighting for the same reason. She was also hesitating as she saw Holt move into another stance. She was hoping that he had no intention of fighting.
gIs this how the jedi determine leadership and control, through physical strength? I have to admit that I find your methods questionable. I have no intention of drawing my saber against you and if you will, Ifd ask that you put your own away.h

Even though Nikos knew he could easily arrive on the scene of the tension he knew that this had to pass and he sent vibrations through the Force. They said that this was wrong. If one wanted to leave the Order, then one should not be stopped, but at the same time feelings can block clarity in all that you do.
Please stand down.He whispered, more to himself as he had a memory of him doing the same thing.

Holt stepped to one side, attempting to encircle the Master so they could reach the ship without incident.
[glow=teal,2,300]"If you attempt to stop me by force, I will defend myself. It is your choice. Do what is right, Master Jenno..."[/glow]
(By the way, Holt is still invisible to The Force.)

(damn you people with the use of both hands posting!)
Jenno stood in his position, not moving. Yet his eyes were ablaze with movement they scanned the actions of all three and as he observed the reactions he of the others he proceeded to make his own.
The smile on his face remained as he stood up, feet together and bowed. As he did, his lightsabers withdrew and as his face appeared it was one of calm, peace and serenity.
Then Jenno smiled again, except this time, it was different there was no malice behind the smile, only warmth, comfort and friendship. Jenno nodded, peacefully.
[glow=blue,3,400]"Good"[/glow]
He called out.
[glow=blue,3,400]"I just needed to see, if you were all doing this for the right reasons. And not out of vengence, back there, you made me uncertain. But now I see..."[/glow]
The smile widened for a moment as the same memory returned. It was time. Placing his sabers on his belt he moved and faced the ships.
[glow=blue,3,400]"A Jedi never fights alone. Now, are you all ready for what's ahead?"[/glow]
Jenno smiled again, warmly yet with a small shine of his old self in there.

(Uhhh... Holt never drew his weapon. He just took a defensive stance :\ )
Holt turned back and faced the ships, a newfound purpose in his eyes. He turned to the three behind him and nodded, speaking to the only other Knight.
[glow=teal,2,300]"So, where to?"[/glow]
And, as he ganced at Master Jenno, he realized that he had disagreed with everything he had said. Especially that he did not deserve his title. If anything, he deserved it now more than ever.

Dak stood up abruptly finally deciding on a stand to take. Going over the past events of what lead him here made the young boy come to one decisive conclusion. As he looked through the people before him he saw slightly troubled spirits with too much past...too much experience. While Dak knew their experience was an asset as was usually the case with experienced people he also noted that this can be a fault as well. In Dak's experience people with that experience tend to be a lot more careful in actions. Perhaps too slow to take it, but that would be like a game of timed Dejarik because you would end up passing your turn.
The young boy turned his back to the lady who seemed to head up Feanturi affairs to leave with only one thought on his mind "I said I would join the Jedi...these are apparently not them as Ms. Annunaki has said before." Dak turned his walk into a light jog as he began to learn to identify those which he was more familiar with. Dak picked out one he knew all too well...the first person he had ever felt through the force. "Those are the Feanturi...not the Jedi. I chose to become a Jedi," Dak said.
Part of him made the decision so he could be in the presence of more familiar characters while the other part was simply his gut feeling, a feeling which he affectionately renamed "the force". Dak arrived at the hangar to see the conflict and stood at a distance seeing the weapon just being sheathed.
Dak winced as he saw the blade as thought rushed through. "I've never seen something like that before, not even in holograms..., I guess this is the weapon of the Jedi?" Dak mused further as he watched with even more uncertainty as the events unfolded. Finally he approached the woman he was familiar with and spoke. His voice had become foreign after not being used for a little. Still the young boy spoke all the same.
I said I would join the Jedi...am I too late?

Holt turned to face the youngest of them here with a smile. He was glad that he had had suh an impact here. This alone made his actions feel right, though he knew them to be so.
[glow=teal,2,300]"Not at all, Dak. Not at all."[/glow]
Holt looked over those present before turningback to Arili.
[glow=teal,2,300]"I think we might need a bigger ship..."[/glow]

Yeah, its going to be a little crowded in there. As long as we don't get to many to fast we should be alright. The ship will seat 6.
She said, looking at the group they had gathered thus far. Jenno, Holt, Dak, Verena, and Herself. Five, against an empire of millions. She thought for a second. Then looked back to Holt.
Do you have anywhere in particular in mind?
She asked, wanting to get underway.

Holt looked out at the darkening sky, already noting certain nearby star systems shining out from the darkness of the night. He somehow was always comforted by the night. By the cover it gave one from everything. But the night would not cover them now. Now they needed a safe place, but one they made for themselves. But the only way to do that was to fight for it. And so they would.
[glow=teal,2,300]"There's an entire galaxy that needs to be liberated. Does it metter where we begin? Let us leave now, and discuss this once we see what the Archives can tell us."[/glow]
He said, patting the datapad on his hip, suddenly very eager to leave.
(discuss where to go in the Plot discussion thread!)

((apparently i'm now the badguy... >_<))
Talau grunted slightly. Her heart called her to go with them, but her mind knew better. She had to stay here now...her place was no longer out in the frenzy of battle with her fellows...no. Now it was her children's turn. She looked to them calmly after stepping away from Nikos' embrace.
[glow=9999ff,2,300]Daeron, Daawn...it is now your turn. Go with them. my place is here, your place is in the fight to save the people of the galaxy. Go...help them since I cannot.[/glow]
Daeron nodded and left the room without a word, but Daawn hesitated.

As Holt and the other Jedi made their final preparations for leaving Rilia, on the far other side of the planet, hidden by an advanced cloaking device, sat a small scouting fighter, which had come to the planet by following the trails of certain other ships which had been creating some interesting traffic around this system. And, as the sun set on the far side of the world and began to shine towards this scout, the ship turned around and returned to where it had come from.
(Who is it? Who is it? Find out, as things get spicy for all of us!)

Arili looked at Holt, and nodded her head, It was after all her ship. She racked her brain for anything that she could use. She didn't bother thinking to long, she nodded to Holt and walked back up the Ramp into the black fighter.
I'm leaving in 5, so whatever you need, you have that long to get it.
She said to Jenno, Dak, Verena, and Holt. Before turning and going into the cockpit and beginning the startup sequence.

*Quenladose watched Dak leave and looked back at Tal and the others as she slowly backed out of the room and felt out for him. Her stomach forming into a knot as she tried to sense Dak and the others. The jedi master with the gruff voice and strange hair seemed upset............. as she neared the hanger her eyes lost focus as her eyes bled to a storm gray and lines of frost lined her face and went around her body like a piece of armor and lashed out with tiny quills of ice an inch over her body and then propelled out melting on the walls as it hit and sending a few into the hanger as her words came out as her eyes refocused and the frost melted the fey walked timidly the rest of the way into the hanger to hear the words between the five and speaking with a soft voice and her hand raised*
Can I come? Master Tal said I could become a jedi.....
*The little fey looked on wrapping her crimson red strains of hair around her fingers*

Dak simply walked up the ramp with MS. Annunaki with a look on his face that bespoke one question.
I'm not a Jedi yet am I?
Dak knew the question wasn't the smartest, but the young boy was already in such a strange environment. The Force seemed to do strange things, at least that was Dak's assumption. As Dak continued to muse inwardly as he did so often upon coming to the planet. Suddenly Quenladose came forward in the hanger just as he had.
She was just as indecisive on the matter as he was. She looked at the group as the looked to board the ship. Dak smiled knowing he wouldn't be alone in this journey, the only Non-Jedi.
Dak actually began to refer to himself as a Non-Jedi when he caught a glimpse of the Jedi's weapon preference. Dak knew he would need training, but how much? How long? And could they afford to train him while training to save the universe. His feelings uncertain, but still being decisive enough to know that he wanted to go with them. Still seeing Quenladose made him sigh in relief as he realized he wasn't an insane child for wanting to help Holt. The force did guide all things after all, a fact Dak was rapidly accepting.

Arili poked he head out of the cockpit to respond to Holt's question.
No, not yet.
She responded, spotting Quenadalose behind him. She had to fight getting annoyed. This was supposed to be a small group of Jedi heading out...not half the current order.
Yes Quena, you can come too.
She said, turning back around inside the cockpit and flipping the engine preheat switch.
But Master Firians is your master, you should stay with her. If you do truly wish to co-
she was cut off by a loud, and quite sudden popping sound.
Sorry, that the engines starting up. Anyways, as I was saying, Tal is your master, and my advice is for you to stay with her.
Arili said, turning back into the cockpit and adjusting the plasma flow to the engines.
