Sha'ara
I reach the training ground just as Drakon drops all of the items he was floating. See what showing off will get you? I mentally say to him. He looks me in the eyes and suddenly I feel naked and raw, like he's peeled back layers of skin and exposed a nerve. I back away from him and bump into, Tawain. It pains me to look at him, I want to touch him more than anything, I want to feel his naked body pressed to mine. Where did that thought come from? I stumble away from him and sit at the edge of the training field waiting for Luke to arrive.

Farlo Truan:
OOC: Huh? What happened here! Gee, guess I have to jump back into the thread sharpish, before I miss any more pages! lol
IC:
I left the meeting somewhat dazed. Another deathstar?
Smaller or not, such a weapon of destruction posed a grave threat. I still remembered the Imperial proganda on the first Death Star after its revealation - and back when I imagined myself to be under the Empire's guidance, under its protection.
Now I knew it for what it had been, a weapon committed to helping the Empire dominate the galaxy by power and terror - I recalled part of the Tarkin Doctrine, which was drafted by the Grand Moff, a message to the Emperor regarding methods for increasing the Empire's security, that had swiftly been intergregated into my early Cadet training:
'Control unruly portions of the galaxy through a fear of force, rather than actual force itself, and continue to research and develop new and more powerful starships and weapons designed to inspire fear in resistant systems'.
I stopped at a comm station and called I6T9.
"Better pick up the pace on the White Hawk, old gal" I said, "I'm off to the training centre now".
"Very well, I'll see what I can do - are you all right, Master Farlo, you sound a little distressed" she replied.
"I'm... fine" I lied, "I'll fill you in soon, old gal".
I stopped by my quarters briefly to collect my lightsabre, flicking a switch on and off so it's bluish-white beam sprung briefly into play, and quickly changed my clothes, which had more than a few stains on them from my work on the White Hawk earlier.
It wasn't long before I reached the much more open sparring area of the training grounds, glancing about to see which other students were already here. It was a brisk run, and normally I wouldn't have had a bead of sweat on my forehead from it. But this time, I had other thoughts clouding my mind.

Our paths have crossed before...
OOC: Farlo, I imagine its a secret that you were once part of the Empire. The same can be said for Drakon, although obviously there are already rumors about him. In any case, even a loner needs a friend, so I guess I am reaching out to you...

The dark cadet...
Drakon looked over the students as they filed in in uniform, scanning them all, assessing how many of them really had the skill to defeat him. Few did. Others certainly had the potential, but they weren't trained well enough, yet. It seemed the greatest rival was probably Zen.
A certain cadet did interest him, however. It seems this Farlo and I have something in common, but what?
With so much conflicting energies in the room, and his fatigue from his private training session, Drakon could not dig much deeper into his mind just yet. He was again dressed against code, wearing a sleeveless black shirt with his black pants and boots.

OOC: No gypsyprince, Farlo's previous history isn't much of a secret, if at all. The fact that the 'White Hawk', the ship he's putting together, is at its basic level a Tie Interceptor gives a lot away, and I figure everyone know's he's from Coruscant, which was the capital planet of the Empire (hoping I remembered to spell the planet's name right, here).
Anyway, that's not saying he couldn't be 'turned', it's just that, at the moment, he is more of a nice guy...

I'll try to hang, but you guys are soooo fast!!
IC: Katrina Saffire, her family called her Kat. A strong willed, tom-boyish yet femanine persona. Her spirit is strong and free. 5"6", eyes like blue glass, long blonde hair streaked from the sun, extremely atheletic and strong. Her body is lean and curvacious with a generous chest, although she does not flaunt it. Never knowing a man, it does not occur to her that she may be sexy. She was young at the time the legendary Luke Skywalker destroyed the Death Star. She grew up taking care of her parents, who barely survived the wrath of the Imperial forces. They were left badly burned and disabled leaving her to eek out an existance by farming and trading what was left of her family's belongings. They died only a few years ago. She is an outdoors woman; an avid climber, she often escpapes to the hills to release the sadness and anger in her. When meditating, she often hears voices in her head...a sort of calling. She is used to these voices, as she has heard them since she was young. She believes the voices are her own, telling her that she is strong and able. Now, a woman, she feels compelled to join the rebellion as if something is commanding her to do so. With no one in her life, she feels it is her duty to fight for the rebels and put an end to the suffering brought on by the Imperials. She is unaware that the dark side has been watching her grow up and has other intentions for her....
After standing at my parents' grave weighing my decision, asking for their guidance, I fill up one bag with my only possessions and head for the rebel base. It is a three day walk, walking all day. As I arrive, I realize that I have no idea how to get in the door. I have no training, no recommendations, but I must try. I am tired, thirsty and hungry. I approach the gate of the base, sounding the bell and hoping for entrance...

OOC: Ok realy fast here are some things that I think you can have your characters do for training:
1. Dueling with another jedi cadet(done with wooden sticks instead of sabres to prevent serious injury)
2. Tie Fighter training(flying ships into battle against droids in other ships)
3. Running the advance course (The one my character ran at the beginning but with more droids and perhaps a few other surprises)
4. Lifting things with your minds (picking up larger objects using your jedi powers)
That's all I can think of right now but those should keep you busy for now.

Madison:
She was fuming. Men couldn't be depended on that was for sure. She had spent all morning working on new defenses for the base, and had that man even bothered to come and help? NO! The great and powerful Jedi had better things to do with his time obviously.
"Luke?"
"Go ahead."
"It's Madison. I've finished working on the defenses. I have some ideas and have found some ways that will improve our chances with the death star."
"Good. Bring them to me. I'm on the training field. You can share your ideas with the cadets."
"I'll be right there."
She walked to the field, her steps quick in her anger. As she arrived, she noticed one of the cadets dressed all in black. Madison was suprised. He was blantantly dressing against code. He looked up and caught her staring. Their eyes clashed. He glanced away first. When he looked back she was smirking at him. She just wasn't intimadated by cadets anymore. She was used to Luke being around. And Leia to a point. The only one that she was intimadated by now was Zen, and it wasn't all because of the force. There were other things about him that made her uneasy, but now wasn't the time to ponder them. She had more important things to worry about, like how they were going to defend themselves against the death star.

Sha'ara
"Sha'ara." she heard Luke's voice though she couldn't see him due to the blinding helmet on her head. "Clear your mind and let the Force work for you. The droid will shoot lasers at you and you need to defend yourself against the attack. We'll begin in 10 seconds." Sha'ara cleared her mind of all outside persuasions. She could sense the droid to her left and charged her lightsaber. The droid fired seconds after Sha'ara moved the saber up to block the laser. She spun around catching the shot from a different angle. A few more manuevers and suddenly Tawain's face entered her mind, "Ow!!" Sha'ara jumped at the stinging sensation in her shoulder. "Stop the exercise," Luke called. He came down and took the helmet from Sha'ara's head. Then he inspected the injury. It was mild as the training droid was designed to cause just enough damage to make a cadet jump.
Luke sighed, "You were doing great Sha'ara... but you let your mind get lazy." Sha'ara looked at her feet in shame. "You must always be on guard. Your mind is your most powerful weapon and you must keep it honed above and beyond all other things. Go take a rest.. and may the Force be with you."
Sha'ara put her saber back in her belt and left the training area.

Tawain
Tawain turned around the corner, muttering under his breath. For a while, he had known his way through the maze. The force had shown him. The force had helped him to cut down the battle droids without any problem. And now it was gone again, and he had just turned into a dead end.
Tawain lowered his lightsabre and leaned against the wall, allowing him a short moment of respite. Immediately he wishes he hadn't, once his mind was given a chance to wander, he started to think about Drakon again. That arrogant mind-twister, dressing black as if just to draw attention, wielding his sith-like sabre...
Tawain glared furiously at the wall--and suddenly it exploded.
He blinked and took a step backwards, appalled. The force was back, and throbbing inside him, pulsing, at the same rythm as his anger. Anger. No. Away, away, away...
Summoning up all his self-control, Tawain used the force to clear his mind of all emotion...the anger disappeared. So did the force.
Dark revelation dawned on Tawain. So that was how he could control the force--by strong emotion.
He laughed mirthlessly. Using the force through anger...the best way to cross to the Dark side. He'd probably even get there faster than Sha'ara...
His laugh stopped abruptly. Sha'ara. His heart gave a twang as he remembered how she had sent him off, telling him to stay away from her.
"I won't. I won't, Sha'ara! Force or no force, I'll protect you, wether you want it or not! I swore it, and I intend to keep that oath--I respect the Jedi code."
With that he ran off into the maze again.

Sha'ara
At Luke's suggestion Sha'ara took a much needed break. Grabbing a Nutripack from food dispenser she sat down on a bench in the center garden of the training center. She could see many of the other students milling about between exercises. She saw Drakon on the other side of the garden, concentrating on one of his tricks she was sure. She looked away, thinking, "I'd do better to just ignore him." Drakon glance over at her and smiled coldly, giving her gooseflesh on the backs of her arms and neck. Eating some of the lentils from the Nutripack she again thought of Tawain. Sighing she thought, "Ahh.. Tawain, as much as I need to keep you away from me I don't think I can do it. I need you too much. How is it that I've come to depend on you so much, in so short a time? You give me strenth and that's what I need right now." Suddenly she wished he was there to talk to. She needed to see him, to hear his voice.

Tawain
Tawain paced along the training grounds, wondering how he could approach Sha'ara without having her immediately send him away again. He just couldn't see how. Sighing, he went out into the garden...the fresh air would do him good. And there she sat on a bench, just finishing a nutripack. She had not seen him yet.
Tawain hesitated a moment. Then he strode across the grass and sat down on the bench opposite of her. As she glanced up, Tawain gave her a nod and a friendly smile.
He did not dare to say something, fearing that she might send him away again. But at least he was near her. And maybe she would speak of her own accord...

Sha'ara
Sha'ara no sooner thought of how much she needed to see Tawain when suddenly his masculine frame was on the bench before her. He smiled warmly and cracked the last of her convictions, she couldn't send him away again, it hurt her heart too much. Thank God he hadn't given up on her! "Tawain," she said tenderly, looking into his eyes. "I am so weak..." Tawain looked at her quizically and expectantly. Sha'ara sighed.
She continued, reaching across the space between them to take his hand, "I know I'm going to regret endangering you... but I need you so much."

Tawain
Tawain felt relief wash over him, he felt as if a weight had been lifted from his heart. His smile widening, he sat down beside Sha'ara and put his arm around her waist.
"I'll always be there when you need me Sha'ara. Always. I might even be able to make a differance," he added with a rueful laugh. "I discovered something about my control of the force."
As Tawain told her what had happened in the training maze, Sha'ara's eyes widened with shock.
Damn, that's not what I wanted!
Before she could say a word he added
"I know that doesn't change anything yet...it's not as though it's a price I'm willing to pay for control. But maybe this might give Luke a clue of finding out what the problem is, and maybe he'll find some sort of solution."
Tawain gazed into her eyes for a long moment. She was beautiful. Probably the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen.
Feeling a blush coming, tawain turned his face away, as quickly as was possible without appearing rude.
"Erm...Sha'ara, I...do you have anything planned for tonight?"

Sha'ara
Sha'ara frowned at Tawain's idea about finding out what was causing his problem with controlling the Force. It sounded too risky. But, maybe with Luke there... no it was too risky!!
Before she had time to think about it any more, Tawain asked, "Erm... Sha'ara... do you have anything planned for tonight?" Sha'ara smiled at him, "Whatever you do, Tawain." Her grin widened playfully. It was good to have him next to her again. She'd deal with his recklessness later....

Tawain
Tawain grinned.
"See you in my room tonight a 6, then."
With that he walked away, turning to wink at her.
--some time later--
Tawain finished cleaning up his room. How could he not have noticed what a mess it had been?
He inspected his preparations once again--he had replaced his withered flowers wityh new ones, adjusted the pictures that hung on the wall...
Tawain suddenly felt extremely stupid to make such a fuss. Sha'ara had been inside his room several times, she knew what it normally looked like.
Shaking his head at his own foolishness, he thought "Oh well. Too late to change now."
His gaze fell on his computer terminal. He had not been thinking much about the incident in the maze in the last few hours, and when he did, it had been with shame at letting his anger escape control. Still, he could not pretend it had not happened.
Tawain went over to the terminal and composed a message to
luke, describing what had happened in the maze. He left nothing out, but neither did he add any commentary.
After sending the message and switching off the terminal, Tawain sat down at his table and waited...

Sha'ara
Glancing at herself in the mirror Sha'ara fussed with her red and blonde locks one last time. Maybe deciding to wear her hair down was a mistake. Tawain had never seen her like that before, since she typically wore it pulled off her face for training. "He's gonna think I went out of my way for him..." she thought out loud. But you did, didn't you? a subconscious voice reminded her.
Sha'ara left her room and walked nervously to Tawain's room, wondering what he had planned. She knocked and waited for him to answer.
