[glow=purple,2,300]Umm, well I know the basic stuff at least. I'm a bit more trained as a healer and pilot though, I've had to do that to keep myself alive on my own. And I guess I'm alright with a lightsaber. I mean I can spar pretty well. I haven't really fought another opponent in real combat yet, not just the controlled sparring.[/glow] She shrugged slightly trying to think of what she knew. She hoped he wouldn't throw her out because she didn't feel she knew much. But yet she surprised herself for talking a lot. She blushed a bit, afraid she had rambled too much.

Jokann listened intently and thought about what she said at the same time. She was much more gifted then she thought she was, that much was certain.
He even thought more about her piloting skills, since he ws a horrible pilot himself, well to put it bluntly he was a risk when behind the stick on machine that could go faster then he could run himself.
[glow=red,2,300]Asil, are you willing to pilot us to the Talasea system? I just get the feeling we are needed there. Even though it is a single pilot craft i will be back here and we will talk to each other. Once in hypersapce we will find out where your healing skills are, and see which of us needs improvement in that area. Deal?[/glow]
Jokann hated flying to be precise. Could nto satnd it, you were in control, but only so far and that is what annoyed him so much about it. He looked her right in the eyes as he spoke also. With a soft look that was both kind and caring, but at the same time gauging her as well. Not just how she wpoke but her overall character as well.

[glow=purple,2,300]Alright, I'll do it.[/glow] Secretly she was pleased to be put into use so quickly. She waited patiently for him to slip out of the seat so she could take his place.
[glow=purple,2,300]Talasea, what's there?[/glow] She asked, a bit curious.

Jokann thought, she is eager to either get out of here or to help in way she can. If only she knew how much trouble she was in by being so willing.
[glow=red,2,300]Well, judging by how well the Republic is treating us, the Sith, and well the civialians too. I would bet trouble awaits us there. And if you hear id too, a friend Talau is asking for my help. And i am known for healing. I have a bad feeling about this, asil.[/glow]
Jokann slide out of the seat easily and around her as she slid up into the pilots chair.
[glow=red,2,300]Now when you raise up there you are on your own. I am also down here not able to help you physically, so do be careful. NO crash landings.[/glow]
Jokann smiled as he said no crash landings though, it was a joke, mostly.
He slid into the soft bunk and waited for take off and would talk to her thru the inter com or thru the Force if she was good enough.
((As soon as you takes us off meet me in Space under the Intruder thread.))

She nodded and settled in the pilot's seat. She quickly scanned the controls to familiarize herself then started up the engine. She maneuvered the ship away from the hangar bay and away.
[glow=purple,2,300]I'm glad you trust me.[/glow]

If only she knew how much she made the trip easier, on him and her. This ship might make it thru a mission without being destroyed for once.
Jokann was the WORST JEDI PILOT ALIVE, he was sure of that.

Doodum was walking the streets of Taris again, in his civilian white robe. He felt the comforting, but heavy weight of the emergency blaster, and his newly acquired blaster with an attached ascension gun.
He looked around for someone who could give him a lift to Tatooine. Or possibly a ship he could take.
Doodum looked up towards a landing pad. A young man with short, blonde hair could be seen making the ship ready for take-off. Doodum looked at his belt. A lightsaber. Most likely he was a Jedi. He saw it the way he was dressed. Doodum ran up to the landing pad, and towards the young man.
"Excuse me," he said, trying to be politely. The young man turned his head slowly around.
"Yes?"
Doodum swallowed and continued talking. "May I ask if there was any possibilities for a ride to Tatooine?"
The young Jedi smiled, and replied, "My destination is not Tatooine, unfortunately..." "I'll pay!" Doodum interrupted. The young Jedi laughed. "No, it's okay, I can take you to Tatooine."
Doodum was pleased to hear this. He bowed his head, saying "thank you Master Jedi, my name is Doodum." The Jedi raised his eyebrows, and returned the salute by bowing his head; "No worries. My name is Jen Tu."
Jen Tu gave a sign with his hand that Doodum could enter the craft. Jen Tu followed close up. Doodum placed himself in one of the seats behind Jen Tu, which sat down at the captain's seat, naturally enough.
Doodum looked at the coordinates that Jen Tu entered into the ships navigating computer. One for Tatooine. One for Rhen Var.
One minute later Jen Tu's ship flew into space.
**move Doodum and Jen Tu into space**

Siegfried and his men approached Taris' leading poltical building, it was tall in stature and was by far one of the most expensive buildings that there were around, at least in the city. They drew closer until they were directly above the building, their drop ship hovered a few feet above ground when the 20 Black Cat soldiers pounced out of the craft and onto the rooftop. Siegfried called to them.
[glow=Maroon,2,300][shadow=white,left,300]Keep in constat contact with us, we'll give you the signal when we're ready.[/shadow][/glow]
The dropship then moved off leaving the Black Cats alone, who then moved to the other side of the building and began absailing downwards. Once they had reached the level discussed in the briefing they pushed off the windows in sycronised form and all shot the glass in time with each other shattering it as they kicked it in. They unclipped themselves and equipped their blaster rifles, hedsets and hedlamps along with their night vision goggles. Their black armour suited to this sort of mission they sneaked hastily through the shadows. Although they knew security guards were near by and that they would have heard the crashing of the windows so it wasn't surpise when the guard eventually did come looking except he never had to time to alert the others as one of the Cats unsheathed his dagger and slit the man's throat. They moved on only to be disturbed from reaching the generator room when the guard's comm blurted out the sound of an inqusitive officer, it didn't take long for him to realize that something was wrong, these guards were trained for this kind of situation. Suddenly an alarm began to screech all around the building and the generator started to seem so far away for the Cats, but it was nothing they couldn't handle.
Siegfried and his 5 sith hovered around the President's office before they launched themselves through the air by the power of the force and broke through the windows. All six blades erupted into life as bodyguards had gathered around the President, but they were no match. Siegfried hurled his blade at the closest guard, it's atomic tip driving straight into his torso piercing his heart. Siegfried then blocked a guard's punch with his hand and with the other summoned his blade enabling himt to slice the guard's side wide open. He then turned around and did a spin kick knocking the approaching guard aside, he then followed it up by force pushing him out of the window. Siegfried sensed one more behind him so he flipped his blade backwards and stabbed him in the gut, ending his useless life. All around him, he watched as the new sith sliced their way through a pack of guards, they were indeed talented thanks to the crystals. Siegfried turned to the President, his demonic glare upon him, the President crawled under his desk and pushed a small button. Suddenly a heavy assasin droid equipped with two turrets entered the room and began to open fire. Two sith were struck down instantly whilst the rest use their new found speed to dodge the blasts. Siegfried did the same but sped towards the droid instead of away from it, his agility almost unseeable. With a quick movement and flick of his viper like blade, he severed both turrets ducked under a punch and dived over the droid's head landing behind him and inserting his blade right through his mid section. The droid moaned and fell to it's knees, Siegfried then cleaned his head straight off with one large swing, it's metal head dropping to the ground and rolling away. He retracted his blade's tongue and clipped the hilt of his blade onto his utility belt under his garments.
Activating his comm, he was glad to hear that the Black Cats had just been able to reach the generator room but had lost 12 men on the way. Obviously they hadn't expected the sith to attack from a different area that's why it had been so easy for them to make quick work of what the President had as defense.
[glow=Maroon,2,300][shadow=white,left,300]Shut off all power except for the President's room, we don't want anyone trespassing on our mission.[/shadow] [/glow]
Siegfried turned to President Pasfort, he didn't waste any time.
[glow=Maroon,2,300][shadow=white,left,300]Now Mr. President, I have demands and I wish them to be met accordingly, they are very simple. 1. you must first hand power to my liege, Darth Sestarn 2. you must announce it publicly 3. you must hand over all your powers to her. Understood?[/shadow][/glow]
The President didn't answer. Anger filled Siegfried's masked eyes, his long cold fingers outstrecthed he began to torture him through the force with overwhelming shocks of electricity. The little man of authority screamed in agony, his clothes burning slowly as Siegfried improved the power. Then under a small breath he whispered "ok", a smirk spread across Siegfried's face, "all too easy" he thought to himself.
[glow=Maroon,2,300][shadow=white,left,300]Prepare for the broadcast, we shall alert the public of they're leader's capture[/shadow][/glow]

Two jedi starfighters entered Taris space, one leading the other although now the other had formed up on his flank. These two were partners in mainly one way, master to padawan but hopefully after they had accomplished this mission they would've got to know each other better possibly as friends.
Kalo peered across at Yuthur from the seat of his cockpit and nodded then across his hedset he spoke.
[glow=Green,2,300][shadow=black,left,300]OK, Yuthur we've been allocated to the Tarisian special ops unit under the orders of the council. It is imperative that we co-operate fully and co-ordinate our movements alongside them effectively. Remember, we are not here to cause any trouble, we are keepers of the peace not soldiers although it may seem like that at this point in the war.[/shadow][/glow]
Kalo then dipped his fighter foward and increased speed as he endeavoured to enter Taris' atmosphere. It was funny he had done this so many times before when Taris had been home to the jedi but ever since then so many things had changed and he assumed that Taris had healed itself after the mass attack on the jedi temple. That's why in a way he had wanted the jedi to move to a more isolated area where civillians would not be harmed. It had turned out however that many factors made it pointless to live there and therefore the council had had to decide on another planet, and that had been Yavin IV which Riko and the others were heading to right now.
Kalo's chain of thoughts were interupted when he entered the atmosphere, he activated his homing beacon and followed it's route through the city even though he had flown through it many times before. It was late at night, just reaching midnight in fact and the air was still busy with the sound of cars rushing by, the ground was covered in citizens and sky was filled with stars, Just as he remembered. He peeked behind to check if Yuthur was still on his tail and proceeded. Soon the Taris HQ of defense was in sight and as soon as he approached a message was sent over his comm frequency, demanding his buisness. He replied.
[glow=Green,2,300][shadow=black,left,300]My name is Kalo Darken, I am a Jedi master of the Order and behind me is by padawan. We are here on important buisness, your superiors are aware of our arrival.[/shadow][/glow]
Kalo awaited a reply, then it came. The hangar doors opened and he slipped elegantly inside along with Yuthur. Kalo lowered his landing gear and once stationed he releaved himself of his hedset, undid his seatbelt and opened the hatch. A ladder had not been supplied so he climbed out and hopped down from his fighter to greet a man. He was clothed in a blue jumpsuit with steel battle plates covering parts of his body, obviously the situation was serious.
Greetings Jedi, I am Commander Hucile and myself and my team will be co-ordinating with you. Please follow me.
The urgency in the Commander's voice told Kalo that the situation was indeed dangerous and that perhaps they were running out of time even though they had just arrived. Nevertheless he followed with Yuthur close by his side.
Soon they reached a door which slid open and within they found themselves in a neat briefing room with holocron maps and images. Around the main table stood many Commandos who seemed to have already been briefed of the current status. Commader Hucile stopped at the circular table and turned to Kalo.
Master Darken, you must excuse us for our abrupt meeting but I'm afraid we are dealing with more pressing matters. Not to long ago, a mercenary group by the name of the "Black Cats" infiltrated the presidency building and have been able in shutting down the building's main generator, therefore causing a shutdown. Master Darken we are dealing with pros, they've set up turrets on the rooftops and have recently been supplied with more men. Not just that but they are currently holding the President hostage and are forcing him to give up his powers. They released this tape to us. From what we could decipher the person standing next to the President is one called "Count Siegfried" we ran him through our databases and it turns out he is a sith aristocrat from Vjun and he has very deep pockets. We believe he has been using his money to purchase weapons for his Master whoever it may be. The fact is that the President has already agreed to his demands but Siegfried wishes to make it public in order to gain support for his new Empire. People will recognise him and his Master as the leaders of Taris as soon as they've broadcasted we must stop them from doing this or we'll be seen as criminals and traitors. We also suspect that there is a group of sith with the Count and knowing Sith we wouldn't have a chance that's why we need you. More Importantly we must debrief you on how we are going to infiltrate the Presidency building. We have been given two dropships armed with lasers and turrets, with enough fire power we will be able to insert our men and you within a matter of seconds. Once on the rooftop we will scale the buidling and engage the enemy. Half our men will head for the generator room whilst you and the rest of my men will rescue the President. Once you have the President alert us by comm and we'll pick you but it will be quick and not to mention dangerous. There's a 50% chance that you're gonna get out alive what with all the Black Cats that have been inserted.We have little time, please follow me to the hangar.
Kalo nodded and headed back to the hangar bay where 50 men stood equipped and ready for action. Their battle suits similar of that to what the Commander had on and the weapons ranged from rifles to pistols. Once the teams were assigned they split up and seperated into their two ships. Suddenly they were off and soon they would be engaging the enemy, this mission would be over very quickly but Kalo sensed that something lay underneath this whole plot and he wasn't convinced that the Count was the only Sith around, not at all.

Yuthur followed his new master eagerly and listened to what was going on around him. He had a feeling that they were going to be in for a surprise. One that would not benefit them in the slightest.
The troops set off in their two transports. They were to land on the roof and secure that to begin with, then the groups would split up from their. As Jenno observed the group he was with It seemed it was a mix of experienced police officers and possibly raw recruits. Not many people would sign up for a task like this, not unless they had nothing to loose. The two transports aproached the roof and some of the men moved to the sides of the ships, raised their weapons and comenced fire upon the auto turrets that had been positioned on the roof. Yuthur knew that the element of surprise was far beyond them now. The troops within the base will have been alerted to the attack and will have had time to prepare a defense. However, what thier enemies didn't know was that two jedi led the assault.
With the veteran troops firing on the turrents, it only took a few minutes before the two transports had landed and the two groups were heading to their designated locations. The first group, led by Master Darken, moved to rescue the president from the grip of the sith aristocrat whilst the second group headed to the power generator, and then they would move to resecure the rest of the building.
The groups did however, have one trick up their sleves, they weren't going to fight their way through the whole building, that would give the enemy the advantage, instead, they were absailing towards their locations. This way they could the enemies defensive strong points ant strike the critical areas whilst most of the enemy troops would be readying themselves for a drawn out defensive battle.
Kalo, Yuthur and the 25 men that were with them, all attached their equipment, secured it and in a few minutes, were absailing down the wall of the presidents building. The fact that this was Yuthur's first mission made him extremely weary of the future, to say the least. As the group neared the windows, Yuthur was ready to breakthrough the windows. However, when they reached their stop they found that their opponents must have had the same idea. The group of about 25 lept throught the empty windows and before them was the president and his kidnappers. Yuthur quickly called Guidance to his hand and ignited it's yellow blade, he hadn't used it since he'd created it. He'd done a good job it seemed. He hoped.

Once upon the roof, Kalo threw off his cloak and began to strap himself up ready for the descent. He checked his gear was 100% operational and safe then nodded to his partner to start lowering him down. Kalo leaned over the edge of the building and gave the thumbs up for more slack on the rope which would allow him to reach his destination. With one hand gripped tightly around the rope he withdrew his lightsaber, it's summoning echoed with a sudden hiss. Soon he had reached his window, he pushed off the wall and swung through the glass. At the same time he severed the rope and freed himself from the confines of his gear. Imediately he entered his fighting stance with Yuthur beside him, his yellow blade humming in the shadows similar to the eyes of the sith. But there standing in front with his weapon at the ready was Count Siegfried and around him a group of Black Cats. Kalo needed not peer behind him as he sensed Commander Hucile's men ready to confront the enemies and possiby lose their lives. Along as they weren't attacked by any sith they would be alright, he would leave the sith to himself and Yuthur.
Kalo dived in towards the closest sith, the tip of his blade an indestructible point of power which was being driven towards the sith's chest. The sith blocked it as suspected and then returned it with his own swipe for Kalo's head. He ducked under it, rose and cartwheeled backwards as a second sith joined the fight stabbing towards him. Now he had a clear view of how to neutralise both enemies but the sith were full of uncontrolable rage and they pushed foward slashing, one vertically downwards whilst the other from the side. Kalo rose his blade, blocked the attack from above forced him aside and lowered his blade to collide with the other's attack holding him there whilst he kicked the other in the back. He then used his brute strength to lift the collision off and forced the sith backwards, Kalo span so fast with his green blade that he turned into an elegant tornado of flame as he pushed the assuallt. The sith blocked as much as he could but eventually Kalo's speed was overwhelming and he ended up with a cut to the leg and sword arm. Out of breath he fell to the floor in pain, the smell of burnt skin filled the air. Kalo sensed the previous sith who he had kicked behind him aiming to strike him down. Kalo span around and summoned the force to his side channeling it as a force push and sending the sith flying. It hadn't been a powerful charge of power which told Kalo that these sith were still novices when it came to the force but Siegfried was not and that's whom he had to face next.
He approached with his demonic blood red blade coiled around his hand, his expressions unseen by the mask that covered them. Kalo resumed his stance as the Count approached, suddenly he pouced fowards aiming low with the tip of his blade. Kalo followed his attack, blocked and countered slicing for his head, the Count evaded his attack and rolled to the side only to rise and slice for his mid section. Kalo swung his blade around and met it with his own, green against red, life against death, a battle he had fought many times. Kalo pushed off the Sith's blade and swooped in with his own aiming for the same area. Siegfried backflipped over the blade, landed and commenced a fury of attacks which Kalo was knocked back by but was more then able to block and evade them. Now Siegfried was really going for it, every opportunity he had he used to force Kalo further towards the edge of the window. Finally, Siegfried achieved his short term goal and proceeded to finish what he had started. He swung high for Kalo's head, which Kalo ducked and sidestepped under in order to commence his own assualt from behind. Siegfried turned and connected blades with Kalo, the two warriors both gritted their teeth as their lightsabers sung in perfect demonic harmony. Kalo tilted his blade, pushed upwards and hit Siegfried in the face with his own hilt. Kalo then force pushed him out of the window sending him plummeting to the traffic below. He deactivated his lightsaber and shouted to Yuthur.
[glow=Green,2,300][shadow=black,left,300]Save the President, Yuthur! I'm going to follow the Count![/shadow][/glow]
Before leaving Kalo sighted that there had been many casualties but it seemed to him as if Hucile and his men had the advantage and there was only one concious sith left which he was sure Yuthur could deal with, he had full confidence in his abilities as a jedi. Kalo then turned and dived out of the window in pursuit of Siegfried. He flew downwards with his arms prepared to grab ahold of a passing speeder in order to follow Siegfried for he had not doubt that he had done the same.
Soon Kalo came in contact with a speeder and clinged on like tiger to his prey, his claws digging into whatever he could hang from. He hauled himself onto the roof of the speeder, ignored the driver's panicked shouts and ignited his lightsaber, the Count was still out there. He searched all about from where he was standing but could not sight him in the midst of the busy traffic. Kalo got down low as the air resistance increased against his body, if he didn't stand firm he would fall. Then suddenly Siegfried appeared as he launched himself from another speeder, his robes like bat's wings and his red blade like claws. He screamed as he jumped across, he was full of rage and he truly wanted to see the end of Kalo. As soon as he landed he launched his attack, Kalo evaded his swing and blocked the next from there on the battle consisted of very fast moving blocks and attacks as they could not move efficently due to the pressure from the wind. Kalo used his experience in combat to aim for the Count's weak point, he lunged in for his foot which he evaded by releasing his foot from the roof of the speeder. The wind knocked him over and he stumbled to the ground, still he slashed away from the ground. Kalo blocked them, connected then sweeped the blade from his hand and flicked it away. He then struck the Count in the face, slicing his mask in two and scarring his face. Blood trickled from his foe's face, the Count grasped the scar in utter shock.
[glow=Maroon,2,300][shadow=white,left,300]My face! what have you done to my face! AAAHHHH![/shadow][/glow]
The Count crawled over to the other side of the speeder, stood up and hurled himself into the darkness below all the while grasping his bloodied face. Kalo deactivated his blade and attached the hilt to his utility belt. He crouched down and slid into the passenger seat next to the driver.
[glow=Green,2,300][shadow=black,left,300]Hey there, can you give me a lift?[/shadow][/glow]
The Bith civillian was astonished to see a jedi, it had been common a while ago since they're temple was here but ever since the attack the jedi had not been seen. Nevertheless from what he had just seen he did not question the jedi, merely obeyed and drove on.
Whilst he and his Bith choffeur transpired through the maze of Taris he withdrew a small tracking device which had a miniture map of Taris layed out with a red beacon moving around. Even though Siegfried had escaped he had been so dsitracted by the damage dealt to his face that he was unaware that a homing device had been concealed within his robes during battle. A grin spread across Kalo's face.
[glow=Green,2,300][shadow=black,left,300]Now we've got you...[/shadow][/glow]
--------------------------
Count Siegfried fell through the traffic once more, suddenly he landed on another speeder. This time the Count approached the driver, blood streaming from his face, the driver looked up from the cockpit as blood drops covered his sight. Then a gloved hand grasped him by the neck and flung him out of his speeder. In his stead the Count slipped in and began navigating back to his leige's hideout. His hand was now soaked in blood along with his garments, he was furious and he would not stop 'till he slayed the green beast that was Kalo Darken. A demon within raged in the depths of his black heart, a new fire spurred him on and it was called "Revenge".

Yuthur, only recently been trained, knew little of the force, however, it seemed the same could be said for these Sith, except even he had more knowledge of the force than they did. He called upon it, to aid him in his first challenge, his first battle for survival, his first stand for the Jedi. Yuthur saw how the task force they were with respected the Jedi, how they looked up to the peacekeepers. Yuthur let the force surround him, even though it was tainted by the Count; he would still need to call upon it.
With his newly constructed saber, Guidance, at his side, he would truly learn to know what to be a Jedi means, in all of its integrity. The numerous Sith glared at Yuthur and Kalo. When Kalo lunged, the fighting began. The troops opened fire, taking down some of the unprepared sith. Yuthur, however, was put on the defensive straight away. One sith had deflected some of the shots, causing some injuries, he leapt for Yuthur, bringing his crimson saber down like a mighty hammer, ready to crush Yuthur into oblivion. Yuthur raised Guidance to protect his right shoulder. As the two sabers met, yuthur held his ground, the momentum was powerful, but years of gang wars meant that Yuthur had a lot more experience with a weapon than he did the force. The Sith kept pushing against Guidance, seeking to knock away Yuthur’s guard. Yuthur quickly moved to his left, the Sith carried on moving with the momentum he had created whilst Yuthur swung guidance over his own head, and taking off that of his opponents.
As the fight raged, Yuthur was forced to block and he created an opening for the troops to take down the Sith easier. It didn’t take too long until he heard his master call out “Save the President, Yuthur! I'm going to follow the Count!” Yuthur looked towards his master and quickly nodded, as he turned back, he saw the last remaining Sith, saber raised, ready to fight. The remaining troops raised their weapons. Yuthur raised his free hand and signaled to them not to fire.
Even enemies should show honour and respect to one another. We shall allow this Sith an honourable death.
Yuthur then entered his fighting stance again.
Come.
And so the Sith did, he charged with his saber above his head and swiftly brought it down in a quick attack, he aimed for Yuthur’s right shoulder. He stepped back, away from the attack, but the Sith moved again, bringing the saber across to try and cut Yuthur in two. Yuthur had to bring guidance around and block the attack from his shoulder. Yuthur summoned all of his strength and slowly overpowered the Sith, managing to force their sabers away from their bodies in a deadlock. Seeing the position they were, Yuthur called upon the force and propelled himself shoulder first into the Sith who then went flying across the room, and out the window, to his death.
Yuthur stood tall and deactivated his saber before placing it back on his belt. He looked around and saw that the president had been untied and was thanking the men that had come to his rescue. Yuthur received a message moments later that the second group had been successful in their recapture of the generator and had secured the rest of the building. Yuthur then opened his commlink connection to Kalo.
Master, we have secured the president and have recaptured the whole of the building. How’s everything on your end?

The Bith driver zoomed along the wide span of the traffic that lay ahead, dodging in and out of avaible gaps as he did frequently. Kalo sat beside him, merely recouperating from the battle with the Count, next time he would have to fight alot harder to halt his evil ways. That's why he used this time to meditate within in the depths of the force, a never ending stretch of shimmering sea, covered in glistening diamonds. His body was engulfed by the waves that crashed against him, he let his muscles relax and permit the almighty essence of the guide that was the force to fill his body. He breathed in and out slowly, his hands riveting with it's power and his unblinking eyes empowered with a farseeing vision, he sensed everything that was happening around him. His wisdom with the force increased tenfold and he felt refreshed by it's waters, cleansed and prepared for the challenges that lay ahead.
All of a sudden, his comm link bleeped inside the pouch of his utility belt. He unfastened it and reached inside, activating the device and listening to what Yuthur had to say. Like he had sensed all had fared well with his padawan and he had been successful with his trial. Kalo then began to reply.
[glow=Green,2,300][shadow=black,left,300]Very good, you have done well Yuthur. I faced the Count and was able in tracking him back to his hideouts, no doubt where his employee resides. The beacon has recently disappeared but I was able to read his location before the signal died out. I'm on my way back now and I want the remainder of the counter terrorist soldiers to be ready for my arrival, we need to chase the Count to his hideout before he escapes.[/shadow][/glow]
Kalo closed the transmission and placed back in his utility belt. Soon he reached the Presidency building, he hopped out onto the landing pad and thanked the Bith for the ride. He equipped his comm once more.
[glow=Green,2,300][shadow=black,left,300]Commader Hucile, I need a dropship to land at landing pad D-2 along with the left over of your unit. We have a new directive and we need to act quickly[/shadow][/glow]
The Commader replied postively. Now all Kalo had to wait for was the dropship and Yuhtur and they would be away.

As soon as his Master had given him his orders, Yuthur switched his commlink off and signalled to all of the remaining troops in the room. They gathered infront of him as he spoke to them.
We've managed to resecure the building and save the president. Now there is one last thing we must do, to stop this from ever happening again, we need to strike these terrorists in their hearts and restore peace back to your planet. Are you with me?
The were many nods as Yuthur spoke, the men were in good spirit from their victory here, even if they had lost some of their comrades. Yuthur led the men outside of the building to the landing pad, where he saw his master and the other anti-terrorist unit. He let the men form up. As he walked over to his Master, Yuthur spotted a dropship coming closer.
Master, I hope your fight faired well.

Roth dropped down behind Kalo and stood up slowly. It had taken him a while to figure out his surroundings. The last time he had been on Taris it had been to defend the Jedi Temple, so he really hadn't had much time to learn about his surroundings.
[glow=teal,2,300]Sorry, I took so long, Master. Traffic was terrible.[/glow]
Roth used the honorific master not as a student to teacher, but a term of respect to a Senior member. Things had changed greatly since the last time they had adventured together with Roth having become a Master already.
[glow=teal,2,300]So, what are we waiting for?[/glow]

Kalo was glad to see the amount of soldiers that had survived, the others he did not mourn for they had passed into never ending chasm of the force and they would lavish in it's wisdom and power forever more. However, he was even gladder to have Rorh join him at his side, his former padawan, his closest companion and friend.
[glow=Green,2,300][shadow=black,left,300]Worry not my friend you have arrived just in time. OK troops, we've been successful in locating the terrorists, we'll raid the area and confront the last of the "Black Cats". Proceed with caution for it's likely that many hybrid sith will be equipped and ready to face you. Let's go![/shadow][/glow]
The troops began boarding the drop ship and Kalo was about to do the same before Yuthur posed a question. Nevertheless he stepped onto the drop ship alongside Yuthur and the ship lifted off. Kalo then turned to Yuthur.
[glow=Green,2,300][shadow=black,left,300]It went very well indeed, the force was helped me prevail in my battle. Never forget that Yuthur, trust in the force, allow it to do the fighting for you. You must allow it's almighty essence to engulf you and then you will truly experience the power and wisdom of the force. The force is your ally, it will stay true to you forever. Now as soon as we land I want you to accompany me, the men will be able to take care of the "Black Cats" but I sense that another powerful sith resides within the same location as that of Count Siegfried and I will need your help.[/shadow][/glow]
Over the bustling capital of Taris they soared, Kalo leaned out of the drop ship with one hand gripped on the bar above as they approached the Count's position. Kalo pounced out of the drop ship as soon as it landed, his lightsaber blossoming to life as he charged towards the main entrance with a group of soldiers beside him. The main entrance was a large steel blast door which had been sealed from the other side, Kalo signalled his men to blow it up with demo charges. Soon the charges had been attached to the door, the explosives were more than enough to blow a hole big enough for him and the rest of them to get through.
A hole was created and a smoke grenade was launch within to cover their entering of the main hangar. The smoke rose on the otherside and Kalo with the force plusing through his veins burst in, the eyes of the force replacing his own allowing him to evade and delfect the salvos that soared his way at the same time protecting others around him. He was an inpenetrable shield of light as he dashed fowards through the smoke. He then launched himself upwards and out of the smoke, he landed next to a "Black Cat" soldier and slashed his rifle in half, then executed a round house kick to his face, knocking him out cold. Then another attacked and with his back to his foe he turned sidestepped and thrust his blade forward, piercing his foe's chest. A sith approached from behind and sweeped for his legs from right to left but Kalo's heightened senses alerted him of this assault. He directed his blade behind him and beat it away. Sparks ignited from the collision, he glared into the sith's eyes, he was facing someone who knew very little of the force but was ever so determined to take one a seasoned warrior like himself. He therefore released the pressure from his blade and allowed the Sith's blade to rush by due to the massive power input, heading straight for his leg. He bent his leg and evaded the blade, with his left foot he spun around and struck the sith in the back, wounding him badly.
Kalo sensed a dark aurora radiating from a room upstairs, he withdrew his blade and dashed off to find it. Using the force as a radar he drew closer and closer to it eventually so close that he could sense the darkside seaping through the door in front of him but it was locked. He summoned Trident to his side and inserted it into the door, cutting around the edges until finally it fell to the floor. Standing right in front of him was the origin of the darkness, it was Darth Sestarn the last remaining Dark Lord of the True Sith who had avoided the battle on Coruscant knowing that Lorthias would fall.
Sestarn revealed her face, ninjaii tattoos covering it entirely, her dreadlocks hanging down in front of her yellow faced eyes. She undid her cloak and called "Petal" to her side. It's violet blade humming softly on the breeze as it prepared to hiss and snap.
[glow=Purple,2,300][shadow=black,left,300]I shall have my revenge, Master Darken. The Sith shall rule again and I shall be their Queen of darkness.[/shadow][/glow]
The table between them was toppled as she cast it aside with the force and lunged in with her blade aiming straight for his heart. Kalo entered his fighting stance, stepped to the side evading the attack and sliced downwards. Sestarn vanished into thin air and reappeared above him, her blade pointed vertically downwards for Kalo's head. He rolled forward and rose to meet her next attack aimed for the left side of his head. He blocked it and ducked under the second swing followed by knocking her next attack aside, which had been aiming for his left shoulder. Holding her there with his blade, their weapons crackled and hissed in harmony until he delivered a kick to the back of her legs, causing her to stumble and lower her guard allowing him to initiate his own slash for he lowering head but she bent her back under it as it passed where her head should have been. From her position she rolled backwards and parried Kalo's next slash for her legs as she had left the m open. At that point she placed her hand on the ground and propelled herself off the floor with a minor force push. Kalo pounced forwards and locked blades with her once more until she sweeped low with her blade, Kalo hopped over it and parried the next attack in the opposite direction and continued the assualt by head butting her. Sestarn stumbled into the wall but recovered and used a force push to send Kalo flying into the cieling. He hit it hard and fell to the ground, he lay there but no for long as Sestarn dived on him like a lioness with her claws sharpened and withdrawn. Kalo rolled to the side, barely missing her violet rod of death, she stabbed the ground and held it there long enough for Kalo to rise with a sweep kick from the floor kicking her in the head and casting her to the floor. He flipped up, summoned her dark poisonous blade to his hand and clipped the end of it with "Trident". This battle was over...
Kalo held his blade to her neck, there she kneeled ready for death, unworthy in her mind of what she wanted as she began begging for her annihilation. But the dark side could not seduce him this way for the light soaked his spirit and he was pure and good and would not end someone's life for who they were. If she couldn't beat him that she had no hope of ever gaining power for he would always be there to prevent her from doing so.
[glow=Green,2,300][shadow=black,left,300]No, I'm handing you over to the Tarisian government; you will be trialed and sentenced for what you have done along with the count. Your hopes are crushed, never shall you gain the throne you seek when I am there to halt you. [/shadow][/glow]
She lowered her head in shame, she had been defeaten and might as well be dead according to her but it was not for Kalo to decide it was not in his orders and he would lower himself to her level to have her slaughtered. Suddenly a flying object struck the kneeling sith in the back and the end of the red object was pertuding out from the other side. Sestarn peered down at her mortal wound and collapsed on the floor, her eyes wide open and with her last breath she whispered.
[glow=Purple,2,300][shadow=black,left,300]Siegfried...[/shadow][/glow]
Kalo looked up and sighted Count Siegfried standing in the doorway, a new mask covering his scared face, his eyes were filled with rage and revenge, he hated him and he wasn't surprised. The count recalled his blade to him and charged forward, screaming furiously as he did so. Kalo raised his blade and stepped backwards once again into his Form IV fighting stance also named the "Tidal Fury" which had been his adaptation on the Form. He could feel the rage that consumed him and as expected he would use that emotion as fuel to gain power from.

As they were in the ropship, Yuthur heeded his masters words and took them into extreme consideration. He still had a lot to learn, he was lucky to have such a wise Master. He hoped, in time, he would become so wise and gifted.
The dropship landed and the charges were planted without a problem. Yuthur ignited Guidance before just before the blast, it's yellow colour warming Yuthur, Yuthur's body became even warmer after the charges went off and the door was no more. Yuthur observed kalo take a small group of men in with him, a few minutes latter, Yuthur led the secong wave in. As they entered, Yuthur used the force to look through the smoke and see his enemies. He saw two nearby troops were lost in the smoke, he silently moved towards them and as he got closer, he moved his foot around in a spinning heel kick to knock the guns out of their hands. He made sure they could pose no other threat by using the force to push them into a nearby wall, knocking them unconscious.
Yuthur could sense other force users in the area, there were still some sith left, one had sensed Yuthur and was charging straight at his, sbaer lowered by his side, ready to swing in a powerful strike. Yuthur had taken his masters advice and he let the force flow through him, he let the force protect him, he let it guard him. Yuthur swiftly brought up Guidance and succeded in blocking the attack. He pushed the saber back but the sith used the momentum to quickly spin around with his saber in the air, aiming for Yuthur's head. Yuthur barely managed to duck below the attack, but he was now in a perfect position to immobilize his foe. Barely moving his saber, he caught the sith in the back of it's knee, causing the sith to collapse in pain, Yuthur then force pushed the sith away, removing the saber from it's hand.
Yuthur shifted his head and felt that his master had left this area to search for the leader of these oporations, Yuthur need to be by his side and so left the rest of the battle to the troops. He found his way to the room his master was in, and as he entered he saw what seemed like a defeated sith and the Count who he had seen earlier.
Yuthur nodded briefly to Kalo before using the force to speed his movements as he ran towards the Count and lept in the air, raised Guidance above his head and brought it down to cut the Count in half.

Siegfried sped towards his target, he gripped his blade with two hands and lowered it to his side, reading himself to deliver a mighty uppercut to Kalo's left side. He struck upwards and Kalo met his blade with his own, holding his blade vertically angled towards the ground against the Count's. Siegfried wished to initiate a following attack but was interuptred by the pest that was another jedi of weaker calibur then Kalo, most likely a padawan from what he could sense. Siegfried rolled to his left and avoided the boy's attack, he rose hastily and dived in, faking to the boy's right leg then making a full spin round and slicing with his left hand across the boy's chest.
Kalo read Siegfried's moves and stepped in to block the second attack, but Siegfried had been prepared for this situation and allowed Kalo's saber to pass under him whilst lifting his leg above the boy's low attack. He emerged behind and between the two warriors, he swicthed the manner in which he grasped his lightsaber now with the blade facing the wall behind him. Kalo was first to lunge and was deflected aside as Siegfried allow his blade to connect and slide of his own as he did so he executed a side crushing kick to Kalo's side, sending him to the ground. Now Siegfried focused on the young one, grinning under his mask, he would make short work of this one. He flipped his blade around to it's regular position span it around his back, ducked and struck for the boy's legs seeminglessly out of nowhere, but he was parried. "Impressive" he thought to himself but during the collision he flipped in mid air over the blades, landed and kicked the blade out of the boy's hands. Through the force he gripped the boy by the neck and threw him into the nearby wall. Now it was just himself and Kalo and he would have his sweet revenge.
Kalo rose from where he had stumbled and saw Yuthur being tossed aside, from what he could see he was unconcious but unharmed. Kalo circled around the Count until he lunged in low, Kalo collided with it followed by the attack to the left side of his head, he then countered and sliced in for the Count's left side which he parried, knocked aside and returned with an outstretched kick to his head. Kalo forsaw the attack and blocked with his left arm which allowed him to grab it but the Count was too fast and executed a second this time with right foot aimed for his gut, now Kalo grabbed the foot and sweeped the other unprotected one of the floor. The Count fell to the floor but was up again within an instant, full of life and rage for that matter therefore he was the first once again to attack. The Count sweeped low with his blade, Kalo backflipped over it and avoided the second attack which would have severed him in two from the groin upwards had he not gained space. The Count pressed the attack, aiming for Kalo's left shoulder with the tip of his volcanic sword. Kalo slapped it aside with a vertical parry and cut downwards, the Count sidestepped and blocked the attack, he did it once again and dived in but Kalo followed suit in the opposite direction and avoided the blade. He then charged foward and entered a whirlwind of spins slashing out in different directions once stopping, the Count was almost overwhelmed by the technique but regained his form and slashed twice towards Kalo's head. Kalo hopped backwards slapping the two aside, then increased his speed towards the very near Count flipped over him, grabbed him by the cuff and threw him over his back once having landed and kneed the Count in the face once over his back. The Count fell to the floor on his back, blood trickling from his nose or so it seemed. Kalo summoned his blade to his hand and threw it aside shlashing it in two. He turned to face the Count.
[glow=Green,2,300]Now Count you alliegancy with the Sith ends along with your birthright over your properties in Vjun.[/glow]
The Count cackled.
[glow=Maroon,2,300][shadow=white,left,300]How wrong you are![/shadow][/glow]
Suddenly a copter could be heard as well as it's heavy turret. Laser fire covered the room, mainly in the jedi's direction. Kalo dived to the floor and watched as the Count escaped under the cover of the heavy machinery. Inside the copter was a group of hybrid sith as well as team of "Black Cats" and what seemed to be their leader. As soon as the fire had ended Kalo dashed towards the window through which the Count had escaped but the copter was nowhere to be seen.
Kalo sighed, they had been so close to having rounded up all the sith but this one had escaped and now he would rally more to desciples to his side and that wasn't good at all. Kalo clipped his lightsaber back to his utility belt and tended to the brave Yuthur. "We're finished here" Kalo thought to himself " and now we have a second threat on our hands"

A familiar site lay in front of the Jedi Master, after all he had only left here a day ago. Kalo had returned due to orders given to him by Riko and being the only experienced jedi master who had been here at the time of the incident it had been put upon him to further investigate on the crystals origin. Kalo directed his vessel to the location of Sestarn's hideout where the labs were also located.
He landed his fighter on one of the landing pads outside the building and jumped out. Approaching the entrance he was inspected by two guards, he explained his situation to them and he was permitted. Once inside he was greeted by Commander Hucile, the soldier who he had served when rescuing the president who apparently was in good health and governing efficenlty once again. Kalo told Hucile about the crystals and he was led to the labs.
Once there he inspected the bacta tanks which had been used to infuse the force into the bodies of the non-sensitive life forms, mainly human though some where of different race. Most of the tanks had been smashed to try and cover up their operations but it seemed as if they hadn't had enough time to do so. Kalo felt something below his foot and before applzing full pressure he took it off and picked it up. He cradled it in his hands, it's dark glow giving of the pure essence of the darkside. He handed it to Hucile.
[glow=Green,2,300]I need you to do a scan of this crystal right away, I need to know where it came from.[/glow]

The doors to main crime lab slid open to reveal Jedi Master Kalo Darken, his unblinking pitch black eyes focusing on everything that was taking place under the orders that he had given to Hucile. He approached the machine that contained the crystal and was currently passing it's red beams over it to complete the scanning process. Hucile joined him at his side.
[glow=Teal,2,300]It's been comfirmed, the ships they used to transport the crystals originated from Corellia, we're advising the Corellian goverment to be on the look out for more suspicious transportations of large cargo although it'll be hard considering the smugglers that operate in the system.[/glow]
Kalo nodded in agreement with his colleague but before he could say his thanks a scientist nearby attracted his attention. Apparently the machine had finished scanning and the crystal had been identified, the results were just being produced. Finally the results were extracted and it proved what Riko had said was true, they were Artusian crystals located on Artus Prime where crystals were in abundance, not to mention the fact that there once had been a mining facilility there which had been destoryed by Kyle Katarn. Now Kalo turned to Hucile thanked him and his team and left the building.
Once outside he called to R-3 and commanded him to open a line with the Jedi temple. Kalo stood there and began to give his report on his mission's advancement.
[glow=Green,2,300]I have just recieved confirmation that the crystals that were used by Darth Sestarn were indeed that of Artusian kind. There is a large mining facility there which is in ruins, I shall investigate and put and end to the Count's operations.[/glow]
Kalo ended the transmission, opened his fighter's hatch, jumped in and lifted off once ready. His thrusters roared foward as he increased speed, otherwise he might be too late to catch them.
***Move Kalo to Artus Prime***
