Star Wars

[Renegade]

Zen

We all look at Sha'ara in surprise as she drops the bomb that she is Leia and Hans child! Just then Killian tells us that he is here to help bring down the Empire and the Sith. This was getting weirder by the moment. I can tell that Killian did not have anything to do with Leias death as Han tries to calm down Sha'ara.

Killian could be of great help to us but I dont know how much we can trust him. I tell Killian "If we let you join us you do know that you will be under constant watch? You have worked for the Empire before." The others look at me with surprise that I am actualy considering letting him join.

 

[Lightman]

Tawain

Tawain peered intently at the bounty hunter as Sha'ara accused him. Yet somehow he knew that it hadn't been him. There was no evil in Killian. Not exactly heroic goodness either, at least not yet, but Killian was no murderer.
Now how in the world do you want to know this? But I do know it. I don't know why, but I know it wasn't him. Man, your brain is getting more mixed up by the minute. If Farlo ever learns the state of your mind, he won't stop laughing--
Suddenly Tawain frowned as he truned and looked at the crowds.
"Where is Farlo?"

 

[Renegade]

Zen

"Where is Farlo?" I heard Tawain ask from behind me. Then I realised that I hadnt seen him since the battle ended. I was about to ask if anyone else had seen him when a pair of footsteps could be heard running down the hall.

Suddenly one of the guards came running up to us and yelled "We found out how the bomb got inside the base! It was hidden inside of I6T9, Farlos droid!" There was an unsettling silence in the room.

 

[Indika]

Sha'ara

Farlo!! I am dumbstruck.

"Farlo?? No!! That can't be right!!!" I feel confused, I walk a few steps away from my father and sag against the wall. He did fly away before the explosion went off... perhaps escaping? As if he knew? Oh GOD!! I straighten up determinedly and walk down the hall toward my room.

"Where are you going Sha'ara?" Zen asks me.

I turn and address him, "Farlo killed my mother, before I had a chance to know her. I trusted him, he was my friend, and he betrayed that trust. I'm going to find him and kill him."

Zen's jaw drops, "But what about the Force?" he yells at my back, stopping me.

"May the Force be with you Zen ... I don't want it right now." I continue down the hall.

Tawain

Startled, Tawain looked after Sha'ara for a while. Then, he quickly made sure that his lightsabre was at his belt, and ran off after her.
Zen was blocking the doorway.
"Listen, Tawain, we'll soon have her back. The last thing we need--"
"Shut the hell up and let me through!"
Zen's momentary startlement was enough for Tawain to dash past him.
Got to find her Tawain told himself, running as fast as he could, I've got to find her and to tell her...what?That I know it couldn't have been Farlo, but can't explain it? No that's not even true. It WAS Farlo. How can I know? I don't know how, I just know it was him...but then it wasn't.
I'll get nowhere tangling myself in my own thoughts. Sha'ara, wait for me! I love you!

 

[Renegade]

Zen

Sha'ara was beyond my help now. I had failed them, I had failed Yoda. One of the cadets asked me "Zen, what do we do know?" Luke, ever since your death things have fallen apart.

Drakon and Silver Dread have become distant from us and Leia is dead. Farlo may be a traitor and Sha'ara is going to try and kill him. Tawain was also gone from my help now.

I could barely hear in the back "Zen we need to think up a plan." Ronag, the great Jedi may not be able to use his arm but he was much more capable of leading the rebels then I was. I'm not a leader, I'm not even a Jedi.

Suddenly I was snapped back to reality by Han "Zen! What are we going to do?" I turned to them "My names not Zen. It was the name a Jedi master gave to his student. I have no name and no cause anymore."

All eyes turned to me with shock "Ronag will lead you. I'm leaving. This is a place for Jedis. And I am not a Jedi." I could feel Madisons hand on my arm but I brushed it off and left the base.

This battle was no longer mine.

 

[Kanyn]

Killian Alladus:

Killian then watched as Sha'ara voewed to kill one named Farlo and sped off followed by Tawain, both blowing by Zen.
Not sure whether to try to stop them or not, killian thinks better then to try and waits to hear Zen's plans.

Looking over the rest in the room he notices Madison looking at him sceptically.

"Forgive me for capturing you, Madison, but at the moment i needed to find out what the Emperor was up to. Truth be known, though I have taken Empire money, it was always to know their plans."

Zen's announcement took Killian by surprise. The Rebel's needed a leader, Jedi or not and he believed everyone knew it was Zen whether Zen knew it or not. Though Zen blamed himself, Zen forgot that destiny ruled the life of a Jedi. It was all about Destiny and The Force The yco-existed in this world. It was Luke's and Leia's destiny to leave this world when they did. It didnt matter who was in control.

OOC: thanks Indika. lol, can we call you solowalker?
Me leader? I feel so flattered, so special, so super... no we won't go there....
I would be delighted to, thanks. Not forever, just for a while...
IC:

Ronag woke up. He strained his neck, but slowly. He didn't want to bruise his arm more than it was. Damn light sabers, damn Ganor Damn morphine.
he pain was full struck, he reached for the morphine, but stopped himself. He couldn't live his life on some stupid drug. Especially not now, he felt that he was needed, someone was needed.
Ronag relaxed, trying a Jedi trick. He relaxed his whole body, feeling the spots where the pain located. His body slowly rose above the bed.
He then simply thought the pain gone. First it was there, then it wasn't. He concentrated, very carefully, making sure he got every crimp and cramp.
After a few minutes, he laid back down. There, it was better. His arm still ached, but that would leave him in a few days. He got up.
Ronag limped out of his room. Trying to find out what was going on, why was everyone so mad, so lost. They had won, it was supposed to be a party. At least thats what he thought.
Ronag grabbed a pair of crutches, not wanting to walk on his leg just yet.
He watched as Zen walked off.
"Hey Zen..."
Zen just kept on walking.
What was going on? Roag crutched outside to an open area. He looked up at the sky. Ganor was out there somewhere.
He looked back at the rubble, he crowd was all but gone. Only a few people were there.
Ronag sighed, he wondered what was going to happen next.

Sha'ara

I walk into my room, locking the door behind me. I grab a bag and start filling it with clothes for my journey. I change my clothes. I no longer want to wear the uniform of a Jedi in Training. I put on warm black pants, and thick dark green sweater over it. Changing into some comfortable hiking boots. I make sure I have enough clothes and supplies and grab my utility belt, which has my weapons and aid kit. Shrugging on a scarf and my warmest cloak, I open the door. Tawain is standing outside preparing to knock.

He looks surprised at my appearance, but says, "Sha'ara, I don't think you should go..."

"That's very touching Tawain, but you should be happy that I'm taking this quest, since you never much liked Farlo anyway. Won't you be happier when he's dead?" I brush past him.

Tawain follows me, "No. I won't be happier when he's dead. If you kill him you will never be the same person! Think about this Sha'ara."

I stop, "I have thought about it. Enough to know what must be done."

Tawain whispers, "I can't explain it, but I think you are making a terrible mistake."

"What do you mean?" I ask, my eyebrows knitting together.

The man before me shrugs, "Just a feeling... I really don't understand it myself.. Farlo killed Leia, but he didn't."

I look at Tawain with a mixture of concern and curiosity, "Did you bump your head when we were on the Death Star, because you aren't making any sense."

Tawain just shrugged at me, "I know... just don't go."

I step toward him and put my hand on his shoulder. "This is what I have to do... I will not rest until justice is done."

I turn away, pulling a cap out of my bag I pull it down over my red-blonde locks. I hoist my bag securely onto my shoulder and walk out of the building. Noone stops me as I walk across the compound. The guard looks at me as if he is going to attempt to stop me, but I use a Jedi mind trick to bend his will. He simply pushes the button, opening the gate, allowing me to leave. It amazes me that even though I have disavowed the Force, I am still able to tap into it. I wonder how long that will last?

Once outside the gate to the Rebel Base I turn down a path leading to the nearest Transport Station and begin my trek toward my destiny. Memories flood my thoughts and a single tear slides down my cheek. I brush it away angrily and vow to myself, I will not cry... I will show no fear... I may die, but I will never back down from what I think is right... for I am Sha'ara Solo Skywalker.


OOC: This is interesting how this story line is turning out... I am becoming the prodigal daughter... Tawain is the angst filled lover ... Zen is the jaded veteran (at 23??), Killian is the bounty hunter with a heart of gold (possibly?) and Farlo is the anti-hero. Drakon and Silver.. the tragic romance. Madison the great woman behind a good man, will she hold the pieces together??? Oooh... it's so exciting!!! 22 pages and still no sex Renegade.. how do you like that??

Zen

I walked for hours just wanting to get away from them all. Maybe without me holding them down the empire will finally end like it should have during our last battle. After awhile I became tired from travel and needed to rest.

Looking around at where I was I was surprised to see that I was so near the Tar'gan forest where I fought the X'tro a few days ago. Figuring that it would be safe to stay in there for now since the X'tro was dead I made my way to the forest.

Once I entered I noticed that the place was much more alive then it was last time I was here. Apparently the death of the X'tro was the rebirth of the Tar'gan forest. After searching for a short while I found a nice spot under a tree where I could rest my injured body. I was extremly tired so as soon as I rested in the spot I drifted off to sleep as I tried to put my troubles behind me.


************************************************************


I awake a couple of hours later when I hear a noise around me. Jumping up I reach for my sabers and pull them out as I prepare to defend myself. Looking around I see something moving around in the bushes.

Turning on my sabers, I yell "Show yourself whoever you are!"

The creature steps out as I see that it is the X'tro! No, not the same one I had killed before. This was a different one that looked younger. I stood my ground not knowing what to expect when it started chattering at me. It then called out into the bushes where 9 others stepped out! All of them stood there as I backed away slowly.

Suddenly one of them threw a handfull of water at me which got me in the face! I was startled and ready to attack when I noticed that the pain I had been suffering from since the battle yesterday was dissapearing but not completly.

Then I heard a voice "....us...we wont...you." Looking around I saw that there was nobody there but the X'tros.

Then the leader of them walked forword and I could hear him "... water...lake will...help you under.....us and heal..." He then gestured for me to follow them as they walked off. I didnt know what to expect but decided to follow them.

I followed them to a small lake that had a weird glow to it. The leader pointed at the lake and said "Drink......er and you wi.......stand us and...aled."

Cautiously I walked to the lake and took a handfull of it into my hands and dranked it down. I noticed that the bruises on my hands had dissapeared and the pain was now almost gone. Quickly I drank more of it as my body quickly healed itself and I was 100% again! I checked myself and it was all gone! Even the scar on my chest from my youth had healed itself!

Suddenly I heard the X'tro leader tell me "Now that you are healthy and capable to understand us, I believe it is time we were properly introduced to each other, young Jedi Knight."

Things had just gotten a whole lot weirder around here.

 

[Kanyn]

Killian Alladus:

Killian was waiting for Sha'ara at the Trasport Station, his sturdy frame leaning against his Ship. Calmly he pushed off the side of the vessel and walked over to Sha'ara as she stopped.

"I know what you're thinking and its not it. Im not here to try to stop you."

Sha'ara looked at Killian wondering what the Bounty Hunter was trying to pull.

"No, in fact Im here to take you where you want to go."

Killian pulled his hood from his head exposing his face and looked at her waiting for an answer.

"It would be cheaper then drying to buy a ticket or bribe a pirate to take you anywhere."

Sha'ara was eventually going to get herself into trouble. She was bound to get in over her head. She was young and so full of rage. Killian was there to keep an eye on her as much as he was there to help her in her quest.

 

[Kepic]

OOC: Yeh, this is a great thread, I'm having a lot of fun on this, and it certainly seems I'm not the only one. But some notes : No, the Emperor's not Farlo's brother (there'd be way too many years between him and Farlo, how old was Palpatine in the Phantom Menace?). He just used the Dark Side to place Farlo's brother as a mole inside the New Republic...
oh, and the White Hawk's touched back down planetside with you guys again (see my previous post) though I probably should have said it was a bit further away than the training field (Farlo knows he probably wouldn't be welcomed... even though he knows hes not the 'Farlo' others will recognise)
How did the Emperor survive being thrown down into the death star's core by Vader? Well, he didn't, as such... but I'll reveal how as this progresses...

Say I touched down outside the rebel/New Republic base, several klicks away instead of the training field - wouldn't want to get shot by what this Farlo considers 'friendly fire' now, do I?]
IC: Farlo Truan
"This is the White Hawk to base... I'm down, at co-ordinates 12-45-21" I said, through the comm system.
"White Hawk??" an angry voice returned, "damn you, Farlo, you're goining to pay for..."
I flicked the switch, turning the comm off.
I stumbled out of the White Hawk elevator-hatch, throwing the TIE pilot helmet aside. I didn't need that disguise any longer. It had been a simple matter to escape the Vengeance, with the Jedi powers my brother had given me.
But that was little consolation, as I knew what my brother had done. Leia was dead. I had never really met her, or her brother, or any of the others, yet I knew them well enough.
I slouched to the ground, by one of the White Hawk's solar panels, waiting for whoever would turn up, in answer to my signal.

IC: Moff Jasko Truan
"Darth Ganor, your presence is demanded at the Orias B system" I sent through the communication grid.
Moments later, the Sith's image flickered onto the screen.
"You dare order a Sith?" he spat, his eyes narrowed.
"I do not care one way or the other if you come, Ganor" I replied, "but I expect the Emperor would be... most displeased if you disobeyed him."
"The... Emperor?"
I flicked the communication grid off again.

 

[Indika]

Sha'ara

I look at Killian suspiciously as he explains that he is there to help me on my quest. I think for a moment.

"Well," I tell him, "I'm not sure where I even need to go yet. I'm getting the feeling I may not need to go anywhere... but that doesn't make sense, since I know Farlo left. Why would he come back knowing what he's done?"

I drop my bag at me feet and lean against Killian's ship, raising my turquoise eyes to meet his, "Buy a semi-Princess a drink?"

Killian laughs, "Nice try... but that's not what I'm here for."

 

[Lightman]

Tawain

Tawain rushed out of the base's gate, cursing himself for standing like a fool when he should have dashed after Sha'ara.
He ran and ran, calling her name, but it was too late. She was gone.
Numbness struck Tawain, and he walked alone, lost in thougts, not really noticing the path that his wandering feet were taking him.
Suddenly he stopped, to find himself in front of the Jedi teample. He felt something pull at him, and he walked inside, through darkened corridors and ancient halls. Somehting in the back of his mind told him he should go back for his map, but Tawain just went on, drawn by...something.
He stopped as he entered a small chamber. In its middle stood a small stone platfrom, engraved with strange symbols.
Tawain knew what it was. He did not know how, but he knew that it was a...travelling artifact. The Jedi had made it so that anyone standing on it could use the force to travel where he wished.
Slowly, as if dazed, Tawain stepped onto the platform, reached out for the force...and failed to reach.
Despair washed over him. He considered trying to make himself angry, but quickly rejected the thought. He would not get one inch nearer to the Dark Side than was necessary.
Suddenly Tawain realized something. It had not always been anger that had brought up the force. But it had always been emotion. Strong emotion brought the force back, any strong emotion, be it anger or hate or fear or...love.
Sha'ara. I love you, Sha'ara. I don't care what you think of me, I don't care if you won't have me, but I love you. I love you!!
Tawain felt the warmth spreading through his body, felt his heart beat stronger...it pulsed with the rythm of the force.
Tawain did not know what exactly he did, but suddenly the air around him shimmered, swirled...and suddenly he was elsewhere.[/i]
He was not exactly sure where, but it did not matter. The only thing that mattered was that Sha'ara was only some yards away from Him. Tawain was slightly surprised at seeing Killian, but that also seemed remote, unimportant.
He had found her. And now that he knew the force would stay with him, he was not going to leave her. Whatever Sha'ara said, Tawain would protect her, or die trying.
Taking a deep breath, he stepped towards Sha'ara, who still had her back turned, and cleared his throat.

 

[Renegade]

Zen

I sat near a tree as the leader of the X'tros explained to me what I wanted to know about them as I sat by and listened. He explained to me "We have no names other then the name 'X'tro' that was given to us by the humans who live on this planet. But we were not always of this land. We once had our own planet where we lived at war with each other. The one you killed earlier was the last of the evil ones. We are more friendly as long as we are not threatend."

Sitting up as I listened to them I asked "What happened to your planet?"

There was a sigh from him as he told me "The Empires original weapon that they called The Death Star destroyed our land many years ago. The last of us scattered around the galaxy to different planets. That scar you had on your chest was caused by one of us. I can tell this by its size." Looking at my chest, I was still not over having the scar finally gone after all these years.

The Leader finished "We have been here in hiding from the evil one you killed for we never wanted to kill another one of us again. You have saved us from that threat and we are in great debt to you now."

All of the X'tros began thanking me with there words as the accepted me as there friend.

 

[Indika]

Sha'ara

I feel a pull on my elbow and turn around to see, "Tawain."

Tawain says, "I've come to help you.. I don't care what you say, I am staying by your side, even if it kills me."

I stare at him a moment then answer, "Tawain, I have to do this alone... Killian is just giving me a ride wherever I need to go, then he's going to leave me too." I look over my shoulder at him to emphasize my point. "My life has been turned upside down and I don't know who or what I am anymore... I need to figure that out... but first I need to find Farlo and kill him. I can't have you around. Go home."

I turn away from him, but sense that he is still there.

 

[Lightman]

Tawain

Tawain looked at Sha'ara for a moment, then shrugged and went after her.
I said I'd stay with her, and now I'm going to stay with her. It's not as though she can stop me.
His heart was aching though, quivering from the blow her words had delivered. But his love for her was still there, and he could feel the force, sweeter than it had ever been. He felt...renewed, as if born again. His ability had finally surfaced, to show him where lay his purpose, his duties. And he would not run from them.
It was not as though he wanted to.

 

[Indika]

Sha'ara

He's following me...

I turn again to Tawain, "You're stubborn you know that? Well, fine, come with me if you like, but stay out of my way and remember ... Farlo is mine... got that??"

I walk into the next cantina. "I'm starved."

 

[Lightman]

Tawain

Tawain frowned, but said nothing. How could he have explained to Sha'ara that she mustn't kill Farlo because he had been...someone else at the time?
How could he, especially since he didn't understand it himself.
As they sat down at a table, he studied Sha'ara's face. How could he not have noticed? That nose, that cheekbone...she was Leia's daughter, no doubt about that. And Come to think of it, the look in her eyes had sometimes reminded him of Han Solo.
Not now, though. Her eyes were full of anger, and hate.
Tawain bit down the words he was going to say. She had said she wante no part from the force, and that was it. So she thought.
Well, the Force would be with her, Tawain knew that. He prayed that she would not deny it if it ever came to be the only thing between her and death.
Sighing, Tawain sat back, his food untouched, as he reflected on the changes that the last few days had brought, and on the chaos that reigned in his mind...

 

[Indika]

Sha'ara

I eat ravenously. Suddenly I feel more hungry than I ever remember. Probably all the stress of the last week. I know Tawain is watching me, not touching his food, and I wonder what's going through his mind. I know I am hurting him, but still he doesn't leave my side. I can't help that I am hurting him. A week ago I knew what I felt for him was real. Now, the only thing I know is true is that I am a Skywalker. The thought still blows my mind. I don't feel like I am the stuff of legend... though I come from it. I am full of rage. I can't see anything but my need to kill Farlo and bring vengeance upon him for murdering my mother. I hold him responsible for my Uncle's death as well.

Now, if I could only find him....

OOC - Kepic!!!

The rest of this story line is going to depend on you, so, please post soon!!!

 

[poohlive]

Ganor turned off the comm, had it worked? The ultimate Sith trick. The only way ever known throughout the universe on how to cheat death. Was the emporer really alive?
Ganor shook his head, he would have to go, and find out.
"Men..." he looked at all of them, almost Sith masters themselves, it was amazing what the dark side could really do.
"Keep practicing on each other, wait until I get back."
They nodded.
Ganor got into a Tie fighter. One with lots of room, good comfort. He relaxed, then took the thing out. He had a date, with a dead man.


********


Ronag looked back down at the ground. He had someone to train. He went up to a Jedi student, "I am looking for a woman. The last Skywalker."
He gave him an evil look, "Leia was the last."
Ronag shook his head, great no one knew of her. That was perfect.
He looked back at the student, "Who is in charge here?"
He glanced around, "Why, you are."
"What?"
"Yeah, Zen left, that means the only Jedi master on the base, is you. I thought he told you before he left."
Ronag sat down on the ground, "No one told me anything. I don't know how to teach the force."
He sat down beside Ronag, light saber in hand, "Neither did Luke, but he did it. Someone has to keep the force alive, if not for the sake of the universe, for the sake of the Sith not taking control anymore."
Ronag looked back up at the sky. He had to help everyone. It was up to him.
"Ok," he got up, using the crutches.
"Ok?"
"Yeah, round up every Jedi sperson on the base, except for the ones in the hospital. I want them here in half an hour, and ready to train."
The man shot a salute before running off. Ronag thought of how to actually do it now. Training the force? What has he got himself into?
