The Son of Turbogeek - (Role Play)

[Darth Turbogeek]

Hello -

This is a new RP I've thought up. Basically, this one is different - it's every person for themselves.

Why?

Darth Turbogeek has discovered something that could make or break Jedi...... and in this one, there is no room for teams. The prize for the winner will be totally unexpected.

You will not have fleets, or backup. The weapons you carry are the only ones you have. and there are no Yalsalamir allowed. Now read on as I create the plot.....

Oh yes. The ending has already been created. The best RPG player will get the prize and yes, in this one there IS a prize. It is different considering who "wins", but for either Jedi or Sith it is a goal to achieve.

May the best person win



--------

War splits the planet Coruscant, but still thwere is time for the major players to rest their tired bodies.

The Jedi are no except. Darth Turbogeek, wearily slumps in the temporary base, long and tiring this war is.

In the safe zone the Jedi had established, the Jedi Master walked, looking for his favorite tapcafe. He found it and walked in. Dark inside. He walks to his favorite corner, reserved for him only. A cup of hot chocolate is bought, unbdden. These people know what he likes.

Sipping the beverage, he drifts into random thoughts, so with his attention not really there, he is surprised when a hand taps on his shoulder.

"Sir?"

He turns, to see an obviously nervous Garik Loran.

"Yes Garik? What is it?"

"Sir, we have had a strange transmission with your name on it. It was marked priority one."

"Oh? Who is it? The President? Rmaio?"

Garik pauses, choosing his words "No sir.... we have reason to believe this is your son"

DT spits out his drink in a gesture of genuine surprise. "WHAT?!?!?! You have GOT to be kidding!"

"No.... we are not"

Dt is truly startled. A son? What did this mean?

He gets up and looks at Garik. "I have no idea what this is about, but I will find out. Go back to base camp and wait my orders" Garik bows and leaves.

DT went over to a privacy booth, inserts the message, types in his clearence code and then watches firstly in bemusement and then in shock at the message. Blood running cold he sits back, wondering how this could have possibly happened... and why was this person, who called himself son pleading for help against a deadly enemy.

Something in the Force gave him a really bad feeling...."


Elsewhere....

"Lordess Mara?"
"Yes Bromine, what is it?"
"We intercepted and decrypted this transmission. You wont believe it..."
Mar watches the transmission, and then looks at Bromine in surprise.
"A son? This has to be a joke, firstly you have to have sex! Is it not true Jedi ar einsufferable virgins?"
Bromine shrugs. "It says where this son is supposed to be. Shall we investigate?"
Mara nods.......

[Garik Loran]

On his way back to camp, Garik was alone with his many thoughts. Turbogeek has a son? How in the force? The realization of what this meant struck Garik and left him weak in the knees. He ran at a maddening pace back to the wharehouse that was acting as camp.

"Hey Garik, what's wrong?", asked Boricua. Garik just gave him a madman's stare. "You don't feel it?" asked the crazed Jedi? The Puerto Rican Jedi gave Garik a resigned smack on the back. "Garik buddy you have to switch to decaf."

Was he going crazy? What was this bizarre feeling? He trembled at the thought of his possible madness. In an attempt to calm himself, he communed with the force, letting the universe be his center.

The images were the normal things at first. A swirl a faces and battles that called to him. The Sith were always foremost on his mind. They were somewhere in action at all times. Next came to him his past that would haunt him for the rest of his days. The deeds and actions that were committed by him, but not him. Much had vchanged in him since his youth. The swirl of images started to swirl in to a downward funnel of chaos. Faces of lost Jedi came to him. The friends he had bid farewell to long ago. And at the bottom of the whirlpool of madness, a face that he saw only once, but could not forget. Callista......

Garik arose with a start. Sweat covered his body as he gripped his ignited lightsaber. Garik re-clipped his weapon at his belt, and started out to a renatl speeder. Back to the junkyard. So much to do.

[Admiral Talas]

Talas is on the planet traxis....
servant-"sir...there is a message for you"
Talas-"put it throgh"
Talas looks at the scree and a face comes up....
coomander-"si we have interceped a trassmission"
Talas reads the transmission...
Talas-"prpare my shuttle"

[Sith Alpha]

::Alpha armor detects a message and plays it::

I don't belive it...

::Alpha runs off to find a swoop that still works::

How could DT have a son....? So little time to find out...

::Alpha, having found a swoop checks the charge on his blaster and lightsabers. Alpha then checks on his other weapons before going off::

[Darth Turbogeek]

DT walks up to a snoozing Rmaio

DT : Hey, we have problems

Rmaio : (wakes) Oh? And this invasion wasnt a problem?

DT : That is minor compared to this

Rmaio : Yeah right.

DT : serious. Look at this message I got

Rmaio looks at message and then looks at DT

Rmaio : No way.

Dt : Thats what I think.

Rmaio : Then why do you think it's important?

DT : Because somehow we have a Son of Turbogeek turn up? Because some new terror has arrived we dont know about? I dont know whats going on, but I checked the planet out that is message originated from while I came here... it lost all communications. Total, not even emergency signals. A clean break.

Rmaio : Serious? Then that IS bad. But what can we do in this situation? Coruscant needs defending.

DT : The security codes on this message show it was intercepted. I think the Sith and the Imperials, not to mention Bounty Hunters know about this. Do you think they will pass up this titbit?

Rmaio : No, I dont. Very well, but you go alone.

DT : Thankyou.


After DT leaves .....

Rmaio sits, thinking. He makes his decision and touches a comms button

Jedi : you have a new mission. Find out what in the Force is DT up to. You will recieve no help and your on your own.

[The Lounge Lizard]

Location: Kahzarban, an uninhabited dead world.

::Lounge Lizard sits atop a high mountain....strong winds blowing all around him. The Jedi is deep in concentration, veins on his head bulging, sweat pouring off his body. Off in the distance, a gigantic boulder begins to levitate.::

LL: (Thinking to himself) The legend....it must be true. The Force-being prophecy will come to pass. I must surpass everyone. I will fulfill the legend.

::LL's eyes flash open and he lets loose a powerful roar. The levitating boulder is shattered with the blast::

LL: (Thinking) STILL not powerful enough...what must I do. Perhaps I should read the ancient texts again. There must be something I am missing. I should be improving, but I'm not.

::LL begins randomly destroying mountains in a cascade of fire::

LL: I will be the One....I am the Prophesy!

DO YOU HEAR ME......I AM THE PROPHESY!!!!

::All of a sudden, LL's concentration is broken::

LL: Wha...what is that? A disturbance of the Force.

::LL concentrates::

LL: Master Turbogeek has a son...

::LL's brow furrows...and his eyes widen::

LL: WAIT......

::LL sprints to the Oozaru II, running up the gangplank. Strewn across the ship are old, dusty books, worn thin with extreme age. He begins scouring through the texts, reading frantically. At last, he stops::

LL: (reading) And so it will pass that on the arrival of the One, a child will be born of a Jedi Master. The child will be known by all, but possess enigmatic knowledge meant only for one. The child has innate knowledge of the One, and will bring a revelation upon him. This revelation will herald the coming of the Force-being.

LL: I KNEW IT....after all my searching....the prophesy is coming to pass! Soon, I will fulfill my destiny, and achieve perfection!

[The Lounge Lizard]

::LL is interrupted in his reading by the communication console beeping. Incoming message from the Jedi Council. He reluctantly moves to the console, and opens a line::

LL: Yes?

Rmiao: LL, your presence is needed at the Council.

LL: Master Rmiao, I respectfully request that you conduct your business without me. I am working on an important assign....

Rmiao: No....report at once.

LL: Master Rmiao...

Rmiao: LL....now.

::LL bit on his lower lip in consternation. He reluctantly backed down.::

LL: Yes, Master. I'm on my way.

::LL fired up the Oozaru II, and the Interdictor blasted into space...and launched into hyperspace::

::An hour later, the Oozaru II touched down on Dagobah. LL strode quickly into the Council building. The Council had already convened, and LL walked into the proceedings::

Rmiao: LL, you're late.

LL: Yes...Master Rmiao.

Rmiao: Sit down. (Turns to DT) Continue, Master Turbogeek.

DT: Yes. As I was saying...I have recieved a communication relating to my personal life. It appears that I have a son.

::Murmurs roll through the Council. LL stares out of a window::

DT: I am unsure of what this means, but I belive the Council must act immediately. We need to find him, and uncover the mystery surrounding his circumstances. I believe this has some relevancy to stirrings in the Force that have occurred recently::

::LL exhales audibly. Several Jedi look at him::

Yoghurt: Have something to say, you do?

LL: (Hesitating)...no, Master Yoghurt.

Yoghurt: LL, clouded your mind is. At peace, you are not.

LL: I know.

Yoghurt: Explain yourself, you must.

::After several seconds, LL walks toward the door, opening it wide and leaving the council chamber. A loud rumbling of conversation fills the Council, as shocked Jedi discuss this. Rmiao motions DT and Garik to get LL back in there. The two Jedi rush out and confront LL as he is striding toward the Oozaru II::

DT: LL, what the hell is going on.

LL: I....don't know.

DT: LL, you're lying, and we all know it. If you have something to say...say it.

LL: Master, forgive me, but I can't.

DT: Its about the prophesy, isn't it.

LL: (To Garik) Garik...can you please let us be alone.

Garik: LL...what's going on?

LL: LEAVE ME, DAMMIT!

::Garik stammers at the outburst, unaccustomed to behavior from LL like this. After a few seconds, he turns and strides back to the building, but already, several Jedi have gathered outside.::

DT: Tell me, LL. What's going on. This prophesy obsession of yours is getting to you.

LL: No...NO. I'm close. I know it. This is the key. I have been waiting for this one event.

DT: Why evade the Council? What about the damn myth is so important to hide?

LL: I cannot risk anything going wrong. I must go alone.

DT: Go where?

LL: Surely you know...

DT: My son?

LL: Yes.

DT: My son has something to do with the prophesy?

LL: Your son IS the prophesy. I cannot deny it any longer.

DT: Then why not have the entire Jedi council go after him.

LL: I am the One. The prophesy will unfold, and I will help fulfill it. I have to.

DT: I knew showing you the ancient libraries was a mistake. You have been reading them incessantly for over a year now. I'm starting to think that maybe you are being improperly influenced by them.

LL: NO...I have studied them, and I cannot come to any other conclusion. Your son has the galaxy's most important secret locked in him....a secret only one man can unlock.

DT: And that man is you.

LL: Yes. I am the One. With your son, I can become the Force-being. I will be the Galaxy's Savior.

DT: Look at yourself. I cannot allow you to do this. You are acting against the greater will of the Council.

LL: I am acting for the greater good of the Galaxy! What would the Sith do with this power? We have arrived at an important time. We need a decisive, final advantage...something that will once and for all turn the tide permanently against the Sith.

I know you cannot see this, nevermind the rest of the Council. I am first to read the texts in 1000 years. I must go alone. It is the only way.

DT: (exhaling slowly) LL, I....order you....return back to the Council chamber. You will be put on guard duty for the duration of this mission. We have other Jedi who can go on the expedition. Turn back...that's an order.

::LL closes his eyes. He reaches up to his robe and unpins the Star of Coruscant, the symbol of a Jedi Knight, from the cloth. He places the pin in DT's hand, as the Master looks at him with an astonished face::

LL: I...hereby resign....from the Jedi Council. Effective immediately, I forfeit all rights and priviliges due therein.

DT: You can't do this.

LL: I have no choice. It is my destiny. JEDI is only a name. I am still the same.

::LL looks at DT full in the eyes::

LL: Please....let me go.

::LL steps toward DT. DT unclips his lightsaber and ignites it, putting the blade between LL and his ship::

LL: I see...it comes to this.

::LL unclips his lightsaber....and throws it into the swamp::

LL: Strike me down then.

::D T pauses, biting hard on his lip. He brings the saber high above him. LL does not resist, and he even tilts his head to expose his neck. DT brings the saber down, and stops....an inch away from LL's neck. He switches off his lightsaber, and turns his back to LL::

DT: Go.

LL: Thank you, Master.

::LL begins to run up the gangplank, but DT puts his arm on his shoulder.::

DT: May the Force be With You.

LL: ::A tear begins to form in the corner of his eye::

....Always.

::D T turns and walks back to the Council. LL runs onto the Oozaru II and the ship once more takes off. Once it can be seen no more...Rmiao steps to Turbogeek::

Rmiao: We have lost him...again.

DT: No...he is not lost. His destiny lies on another path. He will return. I know it.

[Sith Alpha]

::Sith Alpha pilots his swoop to an older building that has been guarded be troops all during the invasion. As the troops see Alpha they let him pass through the door::

Computer:WARNING!! INTRUDER!!! Begining DNA test. ::Blue beams encompass Alphja and stop after a second:: Identity confirmed as Alpha.

::Alpha walks into the biggest room without saying anything and hits the keypad to open the door. Alpha walks in to the room and switches on the lights. All Alpha's ground vehicles and a couple of his fighters are noticed as the lights come on. Alpha walks up to his C-Wing and powers it up. After preparing the C-Wing Alpha goes to his armory and loads up on weapons and puts the extra ones into the C-Wing's luggge compartment. Alpha flicks on his comm to two people as he prepares to leave::

Sith Alpha:Alpha315 TSDCAlpha meet me at my building in 10 minutes.

Alpha315:What's this about SA?

Sith Alpha:Just meet me here.

TSCAlpha:I'm coming

::Alpha waits for the other to come...::

[TSCAlpha]

::TSCAlpha rides in on a swoop with Alpha315 coming close behind. TSCAlpha stops and gets off the swoop::

TSCAlpha:o k now...what is this about?

Alpha315:yeah...

Sith Alpha: I can't have you two going with me on this little trip... So I was thinking...we could merge into one person...

Alpha315: WHAT?!

Sith Alpha: I'm serious...It'd boost our power level up quite a bit...and you two can go with me...

TSCAlpha:I'm in...*looks to 315* you in?

Alpha315:....uh....Alright I'm in...

Sith Alpha: Good.

::Sith Alpha sits down and concentrates for a minute as Alpha315 and TSCAlpha disappears and merge with him::

*I'll have the new character up and running soon...*

[Bromine]

LOCATION: THE UNNAMED PLANET

::Bromine loads the Instigator with extra power packs and more heavy weaponry. He crams a couple of battle droids in for good measure.::

hmhmhmhmhmhmhhm...mhmhmhmhmmhahahaha....mwhahahahA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHA!!!

[JediBoricua]

::JB stumbles out of the Council room::

DT has a son? I was madness. That meant Boricua had a nephew running around the galaxy. And it wasn't just this tought that troubled him. It was the look on Rmiao's face that made him nervous. Rmiao was known for his calmness in hard situations, but Boricua had never seen this face before. It only ment one thing, DT's son represented a serious threat to the jedi order, so big in fact that it could break the jedi. But where in millions and millions of systems could his nephew hide? Suddenly something in JB's head clicked...TATOOINE...historically it was been the center of huge events in the Force and what a bigger event than this.

:: Boricua grabs his comlinks and pushes some buttons, it replies: "The Afrodisiako is ready to flight sir". Boricua grabs his LS and heads for his ship::

[Firebird1]

LOCATION: Outskirts of the Hoth system, On board the Falling Star.
In this desloate place, Firebird1 continues his training. By moving astroids into eachother creating a spectal of light and rocks, down onto the icy planet below.
Soon a small sperical droid appears.
Droid: Sir I have created that report you needed following the events of the Battle of Corucant.
Firebird1: Thankyou K9.
K9: Also included are the movements of all parties involved
indacate something is happening.
Firebird1: Show Me...
Suddenly a holographic projection of the Galaxy appears, showing the trejectory on destination of many parties.
Firebird1: What about the bugging of the Jedi Council?
K9: It appears that LL has left the Jedi and all obveration points too him wanting to be something called "Force-Being"
Firebird1: No, he will fail, he beleves that power would make him a savor, but it could destroy us all. Now what would cause this.
K9: It appears that another factor has entered into the equation. DT has a son.
Firebird1: Good thing MLurker is off working that shipping job of his, other wise I'd have to kill him now.
K9: Why do you fear this "Force Being" sir, wouldn't make LL a sith.
Firebird1: That much power is beyond good or evil, even The Jedi would die at his hands for their past crimes that even they do not know. Set a course to the location of the orignal transmission that was sent to DT.
K9: Yes sir.
Firebird1 stares into space, remembering the time on another world...

[The Lounge Lizard]

::o nboard the Oozaru II, LL monitors his console, trying to determine the best lead to follow. His starchart glows with positions of clues and information, displaying everything he has gathered so far about the Legend.::

LL: You're out there, Son of Turbogeek....and I will find you.

::An onboard monitor flashes. LL flips it on::

LL: An incoming transmission.

::LL scrutinizes the data stream::

LL: It appears someone was industrious enough to bug the Council. They are sending a 3 million kilocycle stream, fractally encrypted. This is not good. Whoever it is, they now know too much. I have to check this out.

::LL triangulates the source, cross-referencing it with a listening post 3 parsecs away::

LL: Hoth? Damn....who could it be? I thought the Hoth system was long deserted. Whoever it is....they have to be checked in the equation. I can't allow anybody else to hinder me, even if it is a fellow Jedi. The stakes are too high.

::LL punches in the coordinates::

LL: Fine...I will deal with this snoop myself.

[Bromine]

::Bromine takes off from the Unnamed Planet.::

Tattooine...why does EVERYTHING happen on TATOOINE!?!?!

[Firebird1]

Unfortunally for LL the snoop is long gone from his past position...but he finds a message container.
To LL:
Your search for power of that kind is insane, even for a Sith. There are bigger things out there then you or me...

[TSC Sith Alpha315]

::Alpha sees LL take off and jumps into his C-Wing and follows him::

Hoth? Why would he go there? Well I'll find out...

::Alpha flicks a switch and starts up the cloaking shield::

[The Lounge Lizard]

Alpha....no mergings are allowed....this is a man on man fight.

[Admiral Talas]

Location:The planet Traxis Talas ,Lyle ,and Wynton's home world:

Talas stands in his bedroom looking out the window...the time is 3:00AM...
Juvila-"Talas come back to bed...it's too early to get up"
Talas-"somethings not right...i know it"
Juvila-"can't you find out in the morning"
Talas-"yes i guess i can"
Talas climbs back into the bed and kisses his fiance...
A small comm signal goes off...."BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP"...Talas gets back out of bed and answers it...
Talas-"whats wrong"
Officer-"sir that small homing becon you had placed on LL's ship has signaled that they are heading for the hoth system"
Talas-"Hoth??"
Officer-"yes sir hoth"
Talas-"Prepare my battle shuttle and send any nearby ships to the hoth system"
Officer-"yes sir...sorry to bother you sir"
Talas shuts off the comm badge and starts putting on his clothes...
Juvila-"do you have to go"
Talas-"i'm afraid so"
Juvila-"then i'm comeong with you"
She starts putting on her clothes...
Talas-"oh no your not"
Juvila walks in front oh him and looks up at him...
Juvia-"do you really think you are gonna stop me"
Talas trys to say she can't come but can't...
Talas-"fine you can come"
Juvila-"thought so"
They both get their things together and head for Talas's shuttle.....

[Sith Alpha]

Ok LL...

::Alpha keeps tabs on LL with the cloaking field still on::

[Darth Turbogeek]

Wandering ut of the Council, almost in daze, DT slumps against a tree.

Ah, @#%$. I cant handle this anymore. First someone claiming to be my son calls me and that they face an enemy and need help, LL leaves the Council, I ran out of tea and my frying pan got bent?!?!? Lovely day I'm having.

So what do I do about it?

Well, I guess the first thing to do is to go to the source of the transmission and find otu what is going on....


DT : Hangar commander, get my personal fighter ready. I also wish for it to be resupplied with my normal weapon arrays, pls set A-01.

Hangar : At once Sir.

DT looks up in the sky, wondering what else could come along to screw up his day

[Master Yoghurt]

**Outside the council chamber on a chair.. resting his hands on a stick cane, Yoghurt sat.. he was troubled by the latest events. He had never seen Rmiao with such a worried look on his face. That allways was a bad sign. By the force, even his kittens looked worried! And Lounge Lizard.. how strange he had behaved lately.. restless.. chose to follow his own path he did.. disturbing.. Yog closed his eyes to feel the flow of the force.. the future.. something of great importance would happen.. something very dark and cold.. and then the light would once again appear.. but in another form.. but Yog could not yet see clearly what it was. Allways in motion is the future.. hmm.. a dark warrior.. smiling an evil grin he is.. and a new face.. yet strangely familiar.. surrounded by the light he is.. and some of Yog's friends; LL.. Garik.. Boricua.. DT.. DT is going to.. DT will... hmm clouded his future is.. the image fainted as he heard other Jedi engage the engines of their ships..**

[Shay Kaylon]

~DarthMaulKid watched with interest as his best friend, Shay Kaylon, practice with her lightsaber in the opened field. What interested him the most was the way the young girl controlled each of her strikes with conceal anger. It was obvious that the young padawan was frustrated about something and with a lightsaber in her hand she could do some damage.~

Kid: Shay, stop. What's wrong with you? You're never like this! Sit down, and start acting like a Jedi.

~Shay glared at her young friend, then sighed, switching of her weapon. Sitting down on the soft grass next to the sith the young padawan wiped her sleeves against her face and getting rid of all the tears that were close to falling.~

Kid: Look, Shay, I know something's bothering you, so what is it? It's like you're turning to the Dark side of the Force instead of the light.

Shay: (turning to DMK) You mean you haven't heard.

Kid: (puzzled) Heard what?

Shay: Master DT... he got a transmission today…for his son.

~When Darth heard the news he looked shocked. Shay had to be joking…but one look at the serious young face told him he was wrong.~

Kid: Oh, Force! Isn't that against some Jedi code or something?

Shay: I also thought it was. And now there's something elusive around…I don't like it.

Kid: (Looking at Shay closely) There's something else. I can feel it.

Shay: (Looking away) There's nothing else.

Kid: Like how Lounge Lizard has resigned from the Jedi?

~Shay spud around, gaping in shock at the other padawan.~

Shay: How in the Force did you know?

Kid: Some news travels faster than other. (he gently touched Shay's shoulder) That's it, isn't it?

Shay: (Tears start rolling down her cheeks) What do you care? You Sith feed off fear and anger!So I've been abandond once again, what do you care?

Kid: (still quietly) I care Shay. Believe me.

Shay: (still angry) That's what Sirdizzy said. That's what Lounge Lizard said. And here I am, a cursed and masterless padawan once more. I'm through with believing in people.

~Shay runs back into the temple, crying. Angrily, she searches for the nearest computer.~

Shay: Computer, can you direct me to the Library of Legends?

Computer: Hold, please.

Shay: (to herself) Let's see what was so important that LL decided to leave. Maybe then I'll get some answers.

[Darth Turbogeek]

Computer : There is a message from Turbogeek to you

Shay : ????? I dont feel like viewing it.

Computer : Voice analysis confirmed. Opening message

Shay : Ahhh @#%$. He would encode an auto answer message

DT : Shay - I should have forseen LL's move. Therefore, as of now, you are to complete your search in the Legends (Shay gasps... how did he know?) and then once finished, report to me at my fighter. I am sorry, I should have taken you as my Padawan learner straight away. I do not believe for a second that I have a son, but if it is true, then you will be needed. Again I apologise and I hope you can forgive me for my mistake


The message dissolves into static

DMK : Does he mean what he says? You as a Padawan to DT?

Shay : I.... I..... dont know!!!!

[The Lounge Lizard]

::o n Hoth::

LL: Damn...I just realized that I left the legend archive intact at the Council. I can't risk a security breach, even if my fellow Jedi were to try and follow me. I have to go back.

::LL slams his fist on the console of the Oozaru II::

LL: This is going to set me back. I hope I'm not too late.

::The Oozaru II blasts off, going back to Dagobah::

[Garik Loran]

The Coruscant wreck yards were just as he had left them. Garik strode across the mountain of scuttled ships that had been long neglected and left for dead.

Xizor- You're actually thinking about flying your "masterpiece"?

Garik whirled to see his friend the Sith standing on an adjacent heap decked out in his ever present purple robe.

Garik-I have been working on it for these last 9 months. I have added everything that our "friends" could procure.

Xizor-So you think that adding a ship jacking kit, an advanced Turbolaser system, dual incom thrust engines, and a pair of fuzzy dice will get you out there for what's to come?

Garik-so you know? Need I ask how you found out?

Xizor-I have my resources. What do you think it means? Do you think it is true?

Garik-I have a little asking around to do among old collegues, but I have a bad feeling.

The armored Jedi stood and looked ominously to the stars. What were these rogue thoughts creeping in to his mind? What was this feeling of power?

Xizor- You feel it too then?

There came no answer to his question. He turned and looked back for his friend and found the weathered Jedi making his way throught the yard for his ship.

Would it fly? Would it be enough?

[Sith Alpha]

::Alpha turns off the cloaking feild in time for LL to see him before he leaves for Dagobah. Alpha scans the comm waves but finds nothing of interest on the normal channels. Alpha sets a course for Tatooine and goes into hyperspace::

[Garik Loran]

Garik took a long look at the ship he had built. Lacking only a name, it would be a fabled ship. The additions to every system were remarkable. He admired hid handy work. Maybe he would contract them out to be built?

His thoughts were interupted by the sound of an ignited lightsaber. He whirled around to see Mara Jade, Sith Leader, standing only a few feet away.

The battle ready Jedi ignited his own lightsaber. His deadly weapon hummed to life and gave him a familiar reassurance. Mara backflipped from the garbage heap she was standing on down in to a narrow valley. Garik followed suit and used the force to levitate down to his adversary.

Mara- I cannot allow you to aid the council.

Garik- I cannot allow you to stop me. I have my orders. Stand aside.

The lady Sith's only reply was the launch of an over handed attack. The two combatants lightsabers were still connected. Sparks of energy shone throught the dark Coruscant night. Mara whirled about with her weapon at her waist attempting to bisect Garik. He brought the Bloodsaber down and out to deflect her blow, also giving him the momentum to launch his own attack.

Garik- This is your last chance.

Mara lowered her weapon. She extinguished her blade and stood tall like a warrior. The Jedi warrior did the same in turn. He should have known better. Mara's trickery was legendary. From behind Garik was struck with a discarded bulkhead. The huge slab of metal clipped him in the head and then laid flat over him.

Mara- You should have joined me long ago Garik. You would have been a powerful ally. Farewell warrior.

She gave a salute with her saber, and turned to watch the sunrise on Coruscant.

The fight was not quite over as she ahd expected. From the center of the enormous bulkhead came a glowing heat. The crimson Bloodsaber then punched through. Mara could not believe her eyes. The blade slipped back down through the the metal prison. The entire bulkhead slowly raised. From under arose Garik, lifting the the slab over his head. He launched to a darkened corner of the junkyard where it hit with a thud.

Mara- I will be the end of you.

Garik- Never again. Your darkness...

The pupils of his eyes disappeared. The light that filled them was brilliant. Two burning suns had entered garik and their light spilled down upon Mara.

Garik- IS OVER!!!

His cry split the last remaining clowds and the sun shone over the horizon. Garik ignited his lightsaber and strode toward her. His eyes burned throught her soul like a hot scalpel. No longer able to contain his immense power, he launched in the air and down upon the lady Sith. The speed of his attacks was unmatched. She blocked one from the top and another from her right, t6o be tagged in the ribs from the left. His saber slashed out again and again, striking home several times.

Mara fell to her knees. Defiantly still clutched in her hand was her weapon, glowing just as it had the first time he had laid eyes upon her.

Garik-leave this place and never come back.

Mara nodded with head downcast. Garik turned again for his ship.

Mara rose and lifted her saber in a double grip. Her attack never fell. Spots filled her vision. She saw His arm extended backwards toward her, lightsaber in hand. Her arms still in the air, she looked to her stomach to find Garik's blade there.

She slid backwards from his deathblow. She dropped her saber to her side. Garik approached her slowly. He took her hand and held it in his.

Garik- Why couldn't you just leave?

Mara just simply smiled as a thin trail of blood escaped her lips. Garik knelt next to her and cradled wrapped her in his arms. Mara Jade's soul escaped it's mortal coil while in Garik's arms.

The Jedi cradled her to his chest. The sadness that overtook him broke like a wave that sent out a howl of loss. Hawkbats on skyscrapers miles away were sent to flight from the awful sound.

As he carried her to a wide clearing, he picked up his comm.

DT- Garik? What's wrong?

The only thing DT heard was the striking of a digging implement striking ground, and then tossing it away.

[Bromine]

::Much later, Bromine's ship lands close to the battle site. Bromine approaches the simple grave, and reaches out with the Force. Dirt and rock begin flying away in every direction. Mara's body is soon revealed. Bromine lifts her out of the grave and attaches a neural monitor to the side of her head.

Looks like the fever finally hit her. Presumably before or during her battle with GL. Looks like GL thought the coma was death.

::Bromine picks up Mara's limp body and loads her into his ship.::

Now all we need is a little bacta, and a lot of luck

[The Lounge Lizard]

:: The Oozaru II slips under the cover of the Jedi Council's radar on Dagobah, gliding stealthfully to a clearing. LL darts out, and begins to quietly make for the Council's computer archives ::

:: In the meantime, Padawan Shay Kaylon is researching...trying to uncover LL's secret. A sound makes her turn, and down the hall, LL is approaching fast. Elated, she runs toward him....but LL catches her firmly by the wrist ::

Shay: MASTER LL! Thank Goodness you've come back!

LL: (Pulling Shay by the arm as he walks down the hall) Shay, how much of the Archive have you accessed.

Shay: Wh...what do you mean?

LL: Shay...I know you better than that. Don't try to decieve me. You were using the archives to find me. Now (LL looks hard at Shay) ...how much have you accessed.

:: Shay could see LL's eyes bearing down on her with the intensity of bullets. She sensed no evil from him, only...steely resolve ::

Shay: (timidly) The first seven scrolls.

LL: Damn it. (LL bit down on his lip) Shay...you don't know what you're getting yourself into.

Shay: But Master LL, I was worrie...

LL: I can handle myself perfectly fine....but you have made the situation worse.

:: LL begins to access the Computer Archive terminal. He enters his personal access code....and is denied access. LL grips Shay's wrist tighter, and whirls her around to face him ::

LL: YOU CHANGED THE CODES?

Shay: We needed somebody to watch over the archives in your absence. Master Turbogeek ordered me to keep watch.

:: In the distance, footsteps can be heard ::

LL: (calmly) Shay...give me your access code.

Shay: I.....can't.

:: LL's eyes flashed ::

LL: Dammit Shay...this isn't a game! Give me the damn codes now! We don't have time to play like this!

Shay: (Almost to tears) I.....can't....

:: LL pushes her to the side. Shay breaks down into tears, leaning against the wall ::

LL: Shay, your problem was always your blinding obedience to the Code. You must learn to temper your loyalties with individualism and your own destiny. Only then will you become a Knight. (Sighs) I should have expected no better of you. You're not ready.

:: LL powers up in a blinding flash, and fires a chi blast into the computer terminal. The Archive explodes in a shower of sparks. The footsteps begin rapidly approaching in response to the explosion ::

LL: (picking Shay up) Who have you spoken to about the Archives?

Shay: Nobody! I have been studying them all day!

:: LL weighs his decisions, and then begins to pull Shay down the hall with him ::

Shay: What are you doing???

LL: You know too much, Padawan. I can't risk you staying here and telling somebody about my secrets.

Shay: I don't want to go!

:: LL whirls and looks at her full in the face ::

LL: YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE! You're going...thats final!

Shay: No!

:: LL grabs Shay's neck, and charges his energy. Shay is quickly put into unconciousness by LL. He hefts her limp body on his shoulder ::

LL: I'm sorry, young Padawan.

:: All of a sudden, DT and several other Jedi appear in the hall ::

Jedi: FREEZE!

[Darth Turbogeek]

DT : The rest of you get out.

The Jedi are shocked to hear the anger in DT's voice and move to object...

DT : @#%$ING DO IT!!!!!

The Jedi, wordlessly move back out of range.

DT : Put her down RIGHT NOW.

LL : No.

Very suddenly,, LL is blown backwards by a lighting blast. He drops Shay and as he recovers, watches the Jedi Master, pick up the young Padawan. LL can feel his Master's mood and feels that some thing is yery wrong...

LL : MAster! Wha..... EEEGGHHHHHH!!!

Another lighting blast hits LL

DT : Shut up. I need her and I need the acrhives. I have the backups. Dont even THINK of stopping me.

LL : You.... what is going on? Do you honestly think you can stop me?

DT : Go ahead. YOu can try but your going to fail

LL moves to get back up, but suddenly, his brain screams in pian as an incredible ball of utter fury invades via the Force. LL staggers, he has NEVER felt such utter hate...

LL : By... the.... Force.....

DT : Now you realise why you cant defeat me. My anger has made me powerful.

DT walks out of the room, cradling Shay as he marches out.

The Jedi run into the room

Yogurt : Wha... what happened?

LL : He... he has much hate in him!!!

Yog : What!?!?!?!?!

LL : Yes, utterly consumed.

Yog : Oh no.... surely this supposed son of his couldn't have set this off.....

Boricua : We must stop him!!

Yogurt : No.... do not confront him. You know how powerful as a Jedi he is. If he is like how LL described, he is a walking timebomb.

The Jedi exchange looks.... this was truly bad...


---

Darth Turbogeek had finally got to his fighter, put Shay in a spare seat and had taken off with out speaking a word to anyone. He didnt need to. Everyone just stepped out his way and word got out fast.... no-one wanted to confront a furious Jedi Master.


He made orbit, then got far enough out to engage the hyperdrive. He fled into hyperspace and then as if a great weight had decendi on him, he sighed, looking a hundred years older than he already was.

"I'm sorry Shay, but I need you with me" he said to the Jedi Padawan, still unconcious. "Your the only link to the past I have and I need you to help me unravel this trail"

Darth Turbogeek got up and went to the limited sleeping area. In there, he touched a lock, keying the combination and digging out the datapad inside. He sat on the bed and fired up the reader. The mad rage he had carried changed to deep sadness as he looked and remembered..... remembered the mysterious threat he only knew what it was, the world it had once decended on ... and the slaughter of a family he could never forgive them for. The killing of innocent in their power craze, the destruction. A single tear dropped onto the reader as the memories flooded back. The fight he had lost then. The screan as a young girl had her heart riped out. A mother desperatly covering a young child....


The mother crouched in terror as the beast towered over her, ready to devour her and her child. She pleaded, but the monster took no notice... it reached down...

And was hurled back by a vicious punch. The Vog'on blinked... no of these pathetic humans had never had the strength to fight back....

"You cant have this one"

The Vog'on looked up and saw the Sith Lord, Darth Venom, glowering in rage.

"Vey not? This planet, given to us it was! Now go or suffer you will!!"

Venom didnt answer. He blasted the beast with a lightning bolt that blew it's brains out it's ears.

As the smoking carcas flopped down, Venom turned to the mother. He could see she was grieviously wounded, maybe mortally. She held a small dark haired child and another, screaming in fright. For the second time in his life, he felt pity... and maybe even compassion flow through him. He looked down.

"Please... please good sir, look after my children... see they escape this hell.... I beg of you!!" She sobbed.

"And you? What about you" asked Venom

"No.... I cant live long. Please, let not my sacrific go go unspent!! Save my children!"

Venom looked closely and saw the hideous side wound. No, she wouldnt live much longer... and qutie suddenly, in his compassion, the Light Side finally, permantly broke through.

He bent down, picking up the children.

The woman rolled onto the ground... "Their names... one is Turbogeek Paladin, the other is Ranna Lon....." She groaned, then a great peace came across her as she died.

Venon stepped up hardly aware as another Vog'on attacked. he causally skewered with his sabre and then, holding both children, ran for his ship to get off this hell hole, once such a beautiful world.

He went to Jantoku, gave both children to a family there. As he left, the family asked for his name...

" And these... by what name are they? "

" The girl... she is Shay Kaylon. The boy.... he is Turbogeek Paladin"

"And you sir? Who are you?"

"Darth Venom considered this. His life as a Sith was over so, what was is name?

"I... I am known as Turbogeek"

The faimily nodded as Venom walked out into the night



The tears came faster has Turbogeek remembered the senselessness of it all. Suddenly, a great howl of anger emerged as he swore to reply the Vog'on... and anyone who tried to stop him.... The anger enveloped him... driving all other emotions away

He was no longer a jedi, but something else, bent solely on the revenge of the ancient wrong

[The Lounge Lizard]

:: LL slowly got to his feet, in a stupor of pain. He worked at his violently aching body, trying to stem the tide of screaming nerves. Master Yoghurt moved to try and help him, but LL batted him away ::

LL: Where did they go?

Yoghurt: (slightly shocked) What?

LL: Turbogeek and Shay, where did they go?

Yoghurt: Turbogeek took her and blasted off.

LL: Damn it! They could ruin everything!

:: LL pushes Yoghurt away and begins running as fast as he can towards the Oozaru II ::

LL: (Thinking) What has happened now? Turbogeek was a being of pure hatred when he confronted him. Such a departure from the beacon of Light he had known. Things had come pure circle. LL had times before been the demon, and DT was the prince of the Jedi. Now....things were different. This was a DT that LL did not know.

LL: It doesn't matter. Turbogeek....if I have to destroy you, then so be it. The man you were will live on, but you WILL NOT stop me from fulfilling the Legend. I am too close....I must defeat all who stand in my way. A pity...the Jedi will lose their best man.

:: The Oozaru II blasts off, scouring the galaxy for Turbogeek and Shay ::

[TSCAlpha]

This is getting very weird....

::Alpha listens to the bug that he put on Dagobah::

DT a being of pure rage now....I don't belive it...

::Alpha lands in the middle of the dessert and jumps out of the @#%$pit::

[Firebird1]

K9: Sir there is new information to consider.
Firebird1: Suddenly, LL is not a top concern anymore, and I have a name to go with ...Turbogeek Paladin....

[JediBoricua]

:: Boricua looks at the other jedi in the room. They all looked surprised and worried::

Boricua: "I'll try and use the FORCE and contact DT"

::JB concentrates, after a few seconds his face turns red, he begins to cry::

Boricua: "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

::Yoghurt grabs JB by the shoulders and shakes him::

Yoghurt: "Snap out of it!!!!! What did you see?"

Boricua: "It was horrible, such hatred, such evil...whatever it was it was not DT. I could only hear a name...Venom....only that"

Rmiao: "VENOM!!!"

Boricua: "Yes, venom. Do you know what that means?"

Rmiao: "Indeed. Venom was DT's sith name, he was supposed to be the most evil being in the galaxy"

Boricua: "That bad huh?"

Yoghurt: "What should we do. Shay at risk is and..."

::Boricua cut in::

Boricua: "worry not yoghurt, I could felt Shay, she is doing all right. For now"

Rmiao: "That's good news for a change. Anyway, whatever we do, WE MUST NOT FACE TURBOGEEK. This is his destiny, I have foreseen it; but we must do something about Shay"

Boricua: "Well, I will go to Tatooine to see if I can find a trail. I think we must do this every man for himself, I have a bad feeling about this one, and being together may only cause two dead jedi. I will report periodically"

::This said, the jedi went to their corresponding ships. Each to find Turbogeek and his so-called son::

[The Lounge Lizard]

::LL quickly triangulated DT's course and heading::

LL: Tattooine. It seems the desert planet holds my destiny. Turbogeek....you may know my secrets now, but I still have the trump card. I will find your son, and fulfill the Legend. The Force-being will be born!

::LL throttles the massive engines of the Oozaru II. Despite having almost no weapons, the Oozaru II is a powerhouse of thrust....with the latest and most powerful engines onboard. LL easily overtakes the Razor, and tries to head off DT, and make it to Tattooine first.::

[Firebird1]

K9: Sir, we are almost in the Tatooine system.
Firebird1: Good keep me advised...
*Firebird1 thoughts drift off... he remembers a lost planet in an unnammed system, he remembers how his people first found that planet, and what their own Jedi did, in a lust for power that could help them in some insane quest about "The Legend" of a Force Being, and what it cost him personally...*

[Bromine]

::Bromine returns to the Sith HQ and entrusts Mara's care to the medical droids there. As much as he hates to leave, he knows he must. He once again boards his ship and sets course for Tattooine.::

[Shay Kaylon]

Shay felt groggy as she started to wake up. The padawan's head throbbed painfully, and her neck felt incredibly sore. Streching out, Shay finally noticed that she wasn't in the Jedi library anymore, but in the @#%$pit of a transport. Suddenly the memories of what had happened assaulted her: Master LL drangging her down the halls, trying to get the acess code from her, telling her she had too much love for the code to ever become a Jedi Knight, blowing up the computer with the scrolls on it. Shay curled up in a ball, trying despretly to forget. " What's going on," Shay thought to herself. The padawan felt ashamed of herself. If anything, she was not scting like a Jedi. Straightening up, she reached out to the Force letting it sooth her mind.

Shay: (reaching towards her pocket) At least I still have this.

The young girl pulled out a small disk from her pocket. Recorded on it was the entire set of scrolls, just in case she needed to do some reaserch in her quarters. There were only two copies; the one in her hand, and the one that DarthMaulKid had taken, promising her that he would try and find some stuff at the Sith headquarters.

DarthMaulKid.

Shay bolted up. Oh, Force, LL would try to go after him to! If he had acted that way to his own padawan, how would he treat a Sith? She had to warn him, she had to- Where the hell was she anyways?

Shay:(getting up) Hello? HELLO? Master LL? Anyone?

Walking throughout the ship, Shay looked depretly for any sign of life. Using the Force, she was able to detect someone in a room down the hall. The door was opened, so she glanced in. Sitting on one of the couches was Master DT.

Shay: (excited) Master DT! Am I glad to see you! What happened? How did I get here? What about...

Shay stopped short as she saw the Jedi Master's eyes bright with unshed tears. But that wasn't all. Something was different about her friend and mentor. Something...

DT: I'm sorry, Shay. You will know soon enough what path the Force has lain out for you. Time comes swiftly, and I fear that it may run out all too soon. Go to sleep. You may need your strength.

Confused but obeying, Shay walked back to her seat. Trying to figure out what Dt had said, she felt a deep sense of wrongeness that wouldn't leave her even as she dreamed.

[TSCAlpha]

::Alpha looks at his scanners and waits for other people to touch down on Tatooine::

All I have to do is wait now...

[The Lounge Lizard]

:: The Oozaru II touches down on the far side of Tattooine ::

[Bromine]

::Bromine's ship touches down on the dusty surface of Tattooine. He leaves his ship and walks into the nearby small town of New Nal Hutta.::

Yes...Yes, this should do nicely...

[JediBoricua]

::The Afrodisiako lands in Tatooine. Near an old abandoned hut::

Boricua: "here goes nothing"

::JB enters the hut. to his big surprise there was not anything espectacular in there. It seems that the days of Ben Kenobi as an hermit were as normal as any other loon in the galaxy. Not any datacards, artifacts or ancient books in sight. Boricua was about to give up when he finds a paper with and Imperial insignia::

Boricua: "an intercepted message from the Old Empire. This can be interesting"

<font color=green>"to all moffs: I have felt a disturbance. Paladin it said. Be careful</font>
<font color=red>PALPATINE</font>

::Boricua was amazed. Paladin was the name of Dt's alleged son. This mission was getting worse by the second. Paladin was considered dangerous even by the c o c k y and arrogant Emperor. Boricua tried to look into the future and could only hear Yoghurt saying: "uncertain the future is"::

[Darth Turbogeek]

Just looked at the additions and I'm impressed.



----

Tattoine....

A strange ship lands - one unknown.....

From inside a beast emerges.... 10 foot tall, with a clawed tail and razor sharp poinsioned claws. Armoured and beweaponed, the Vog'on surveys the planet it has landed on

[TSCAlpha]

::Alpha is awakened by two beeps on his sensor screen::

Ah...two more contestants in the game have just arrived...

::Alpha powers up his C-Wing's engines and goes straight to the next town at the max speed he can go. As Alpha lands on Mos Eisley space port and gets out he opens his cargo compartment and takes out a blaster rifle and an extra force pike::

Now to find them...

[Vengence]

Much is on my mind, with all the recent event happening. Keeping in contact with my fellow Sith, I am aware of the of the present situation, but am not concerned with it. After hearing about Mara's situation, I left for the Unknown regions to get away, and comtepmlate my ineptness at not being able to save or protect my leader. I have failed in my sworn oath to her, and no longer have confidance in my abilities. After much meditation and reflection, and much time spent trying to contact fallen Sith leaders of the past to aid me in my time of need, I have given up hope. I decide to return to Sith HQ, to visit my fallen leader, and comrade. Reaching under my cloak, and activating my beckon call, I summon the Dark Eclipse for the long journey home.

[Vengence]

Travelling throughout the cold regions of space, the <i:D ark Eclispe[/i] beings it's journey through hyperspace. Getting up from the controls, I remove my cloak,toss it aside, all the while keeping my head facing the floor. Never before has doubt surfaced in my mind, but now it's the only thing on my mind, and has clouded my vision as a result. I head to the back of my ship, and sit alone on the floor and attempt to meditate, reflecting upon my training. The doubt in my mind is so strong however, that I cannot perform even the simplest of tasks. My saber lies on the floor, and will not rise to my commands. I concentrate harder, and beads of sweat appear on my brow, as I reach out to the Darkside, for it to perform my work yet once again. However it is all to no avail. The confusion grows, and I begin to worry, that my powers have left. In desperation, I attempt to use my old Jedi exercises from long past. The saber still doens't move. My head falls to the floor, and I am defeated. In one last vain attempt to move the saber, I concentrate with all my strength, reaching to the light side for help, and out of the corner of my eye, the saber twitches, and moves slightly.

[Firebird1]

*Setting down the "Falling Star" in the Desert of Tatooine, Firebird1 exits near the temple where Jaba once heald court.*

Now to find some infomation.
*Firebird1 enters the temple, and gains the attention of a monk, a spider like droid with a brain in it's glass head.*
Monk: Who are you?
Firebird1: Relax I need some infomation on someone...
Monk: And why should I tell you.
*Firebird1 engages his lightsaber.*
Firebird1: It deals with something that could destroy us all, The Force Being.
Monk: So the Legend is true then.
Firebird1: That is an understatement, not only is it true, but it has happened before...
*Sudennly Firebird1's body is racked with pain as his armor glows*
Monk: What the heck is going on?
Firebird1: It has begun....
Monk: What has begun...
Firebird1: Chaos...

[Bromine]

::Bromine strolls down the main road of the small town of New Nal Hutta; or at least, the wide dirt path that passed for a main road. Many of the town's 500 or so inhabitants are along the road, and they respectfully, or rather, fearfully, stop and nod their heads as Bromine passes.
It didn't prove diffeicult to gain control of the town; the Hutts obviously did not consider the town very important, as the only security consisted of a few burly guards and some unloyal hired muscle. The townsfolk seemed to genuinely prefer Bromine over the cowardly Hutt that was last seen slithering out of town, shriveling in the hot suns.
Bromine entered the Hutt's former residence, the most prestigious dwelling available, and sat down in his makeshift office which was crammed with technology commandeered from all over the town and Bromine's ship. There was work to be done.::

[Lord Fire Blade]

On a planet near the Core, I am studying the works of the Emerpor, to find some new way that I can attain the power only he had... my desire for the Empire to return so great I would even seek to make myself the evil he was. But even then, he was blind to the risks and the enemies he had, so vast was his hunger for domination. A mistake I will not make.

As I read, I find a reference to The Book Of Monsters. Intreiged, I find this book and to my astonishment read how my Master could create beasts via The Force.

He could? How was this possible?

Then I remember a beast I saw once. My Emperor called it a "Vog'on" a curious name. He told me how it was his inspiration, that these beings were created by a powerful Sith many millenia ago. A Beast who could only be controlled by an ancestor of the original creator or by an extremely powerful Force User, the Emperor the only one to have managed that feat.

Closing the book, I lean back, thinking about this. I was not powerful enough, not yet anyway.

However, there was a Dark Side user, years ago I remember who might be that strong. He was with Callista, a horrid perversion I had once served in hopes she might bring the Empire back. No, she was too inbred to think that clearly... but him.... ahh, he was strong. But he had a fatal weakness. He wasnt truly ruthless and let compassion get in his way. Hmph. Fool.

While thinking, I idlily pull a search of the Holonet, looking for transimission I could spy on. Pfft. Boring, nothing of interest here... except there is a lot of traffic about Turbogeek suddenly.... and then I see the name Venom.

I cant believe I see this.

Darth VENOM!?!

With haste I backtrack. No way. No way could he be around... yet I see the report.

But.... but.... he became a Jedi! If he's returned, then I may have found a being powerful enough to control the Vog'ons, or at the least unlock the mystery

Getting up, I relay the files to an onboard computer in my shuttle, then, picking up my armour and waeapons, I move to the craft.

However, seated in the craft I think... where do I go? Where can my search begin? I bring up a copy of the files on the computer, grep for planets and see Tatooine come up a few times.

Hmmm. Seems everyone seems to think that ball of dirt is the place to go. Well, as I dont have any leads, that will need to do.


Later, as I engage the hyperdrive I beign to wonder what could have bought Venom out of the hole he was hiding in. Sure, I had sensed him, mainly near one they called Turbogeek, maybe Venom was Turbogeek all along. Interesting possibilities, but for me, I need to confirm some things.

The shuttle disappears into hyperspace

[Bromine]

::After triangulating the position of the nearest jedi using some jury-rigged sensing equipment and his own Force abilities, Bromine set out into the desert toward the Jundland wastes to find Boricua. He needed information, and the jedi would have more than he did.
Bromine kicks his klunky speeder into high gear and pulls the last of the reddish-brown robes off of the windshield.::

Stupid Jawas....

[Garik Loran]

Coma? What Sith trickery was this? Why couldn't they just let Mara's memory live on in thier hearts and minds and let her go? The past few days had flown by in a blur, events and people barely discernable in this chaos of happenings.

He had revered Mara as a worthy opponent, a superb leader, and a good friend at times. A weight constantly filled Garik's heart. Why did she try to stop him? What was at stake for her in this whole game? He blew out a long sigh for the millionth time that day trying to supress tears. What would be next? How to go on? WHHHHHYYYYYY?????!!!!

The realization struck him like a hammer to the chest. She had wanted to die. She pressed as she had never before. Even being an enemy she knew where her limits were.

Comments had been long made about how un-Sith-like her actions had become. Her friendship with him alone was evidence enough. Did she come to him that day to end her own life? Again the confusion and sorrow shook his very soul. His cry again split the air of his newly built ship. The inner corridors of his craft just seemed to magnify the passion of his sorrow.

Consciousness had long since flowed from him and slowly carried him on a gentle bed of memory. Events and places long past filled his minds eye. He alos saw the goings on of Darth Turbogeek and Lounge Lizard and was instantly aware of all that had transpired. Along this journey inside himself, Garik arrived in a somber place. Standing before him were two familiar ghastly apparitions. The first was one of the Sith that Garik least wanted to encounter currently. The Sith Lord Bromine stood before him defiantly with a look of disdain upon his face.

The grey dream void was charged with uneasy silence. The two stared harshly at one another. Garik broke the silence first.

Garik-"What are we doing here?"

Bromine-"I assumed you brought me. I believe you have all the answers."

Garik-"I want you to know that the pain I have caused you in the loss of your friend, I share this pain with you."

Bromine-"It seems you do not know of your folly. I have taken her from the ground. I have saved her."

A lump rose in Garik throat. Could he have been wrong? Mara alive? He instantly wanted to depart this place and run to see with his own eyes. His heart however, told him otherwise.

Garik-"Search out with your feelings. You can feel her loss within the life of every person she touched, even your own. You may have saved her shell from the grave on Coruscant, but her soul has been set free. She has returned to the force like all other beings must do in time. You may be keeping her body alive with machines, but her soul is free. She came to me seeking an end to her dark existence," another lump formed in his throat as a single tear rolled down his scarred cheek," she is free. Let her live on in your heart and in your memory as she will in mine."

Bromine did not speak. He eyed Garik carefully to try to sense any treachery in his words. Garik simply looked away and pointed to the other spectral figure occupying this dream theater. The Sith Lord turned to find his friend, his lost friend standing off to the side. Her irredescent body shimmered as if a light breeze was blowing in this extra-planar place.

With a single smile from Mara's crooked lips, Bromine new Garik was right. Mara faded just as if she had never been. Bromine nodded to Garik and turned as if to walk away.

Sometime later Garik awoke in the main corridor of his new ship. The Jade Raptor. The perfection of the ship's monacher struck him like a flash. A ship without a name is like a person without a soul. By granting his ship with her name, she would live on to roam the galaxy and hold a permanant place in his life. The Jade Raptor headed off on a direct course for Tatooine, her pilot feeling right for the first time in his life.

[Darth Turbogeek]

:: Somewhere in Hyperspace....

Shay slept in one of the cabins, whie Turbogeek, his anger, sadness and loniness replaced with Jedi calm for the moment, decides he needs to speak to the young Padawan in his care.

Helooked at the co-ordinates he would be at if he dropped out of hyperspace, decided it was safe. Real space flashed back into existance... and DT found himself exactly where he thought he would be.... exactly in a area of space with nothing bigger than a molecule for light years....

Unfindable, at least for the moment.

He strode to the cabin, seeing little Shay curled up in a ball on the bed.

"Shay.... "

She awoke slowly.

"Master Turbogeek? What is it?"

DT took a seat

"Shay, what do you remember of your past?"

"Not much.... certainly nothing before the Jedi"

"That may change in the next few days..... You see, what is going to occur is in direct relationship to the time you dont remember. "

"Huh? I dont understand Master"

"No.... I wish I did too. I think what is approaching is the return of an evil I once fought against, but lost. Then, I was a young and foolish Sith warrior. Now, I know not what I am and I need to face that evil again"

"You dont know what you are? YOur a Jedi Master!!"

"No, no longer Shay. The return of these beings known as Vog'ons caused something in me to snap. I remembered the horror of our last encounter and the savagery they possess ignited an anger like I have not had for many years. I actually desire revenge now and for a Jedi we can not harbour those feelings"

Shay looked startled. "Is that why your sense feels wrong?"

"Yes, it's the Dark Side power I have battled against within me that has found a foothold to me again"

Shay began to quiver in fear.... DT... a SITH??

DT noted Shay's reaction. "No, fear not Shay. Harming you is not possible for me to do. I swore upon your mothers body to protect you at all cost and that I will."

Shay heard the utter sincerity in Turbogeeks voice. She gulped and struck her courage up. "DT... you weren't kidding when you said you were a Sith once?"

"No Shay, I wasnt. I was Darth Venom.I was trained by Callista in the arts of the Sith, but the Light Side claimed me" He turned to face Shay "And it was the act of saving you that lead me to be a Jedi"

Shay couldnt help to wonder what to think of that.

"Shay, much I need to explain to you.... but for now, understand that I'm not the Jedi you know. I'm different. Your path is not however to be mine. Yours is to be a Jedi, pure and honest. Whatever may come I will swear two things... one is to make sure you are properly trained as a Jedi and two, while I live, none will harm you. "

Shay saw the honesty in DT's senses. It did make her feel somewhat better, but she still felt nervous.

DT waved a hand in front of her face. "For now, you need sleep" He used the mind trick to convince her that she had to sleep and within minutes, she was. He turned off the cabin light and went back to the control room.

COURSE : TATOOINE read the nav computer. He knew that is where the Vog'ons were now going to go and that is where he originally was going too. But, he decided on a different track...

A course change, totally undetected and the craft darted back into hyperspace, pursuit now impossible until he chose to reveal where he was.


(RPG'ers.... Tatooine is indeed the place you need to go. The clue on where DT is going to is with one of the Vog'on. Remember, you can die in this RPG and your character cant return. You can on the other hand create a new character if you see the need. Always note, it's every person for themselves....

You will recieve important intelligence tomorrow, that will make the objectives clearer)

[JediBoricua]

:: Boricua was back in his speeder. His direction: the famous Cantina in Mos Eisley where Luke Skywalker met Han Solo::

"What a great moment for an historical tour"-he said.

::He goes inside the building, orders some Corelian whisky and sits in a conspicous corner to try and meditate. As he tunes into the Force he detects another Force user around. Bromine. He was heading this way::

"So the great sith master needs my help"-Boricua told to himself. "I will be happy to give him some"

::JB hided the message he found in Obiwan's hut in his robe's secret pocket. He then sat back to wait for the sith arrival::

[TSCAlpha]

::As Alpha walks out of the space port in Mos Eisley he senses a Jedi near by. Alpha starts searching the town::

I wonder where he is?

[Shay Kaylon]

Screams.

Shay whirled around, watching the death and destruction that was devouring the village. Huge creatures
were killing the peaceful villagers and buring their small huts. The padawan tried to run but found her legs to be too short and stubby to move very fast. One of the warriors saw her and was about to slash her stomach open...
A woman in drab clothing threw herself in front of Shay, pushing the now very young child out of the way. Shay screamed, althought she didn't know why. All she knew was that she was connected to this woman somehow. Grasping the stranger's arm, she cried pitifully, not wanting to let her go. The creature that had tried to kill the Jedi girl earlier advanced, ready to give the killing blow, when a man in dark robes attacked. After killing the solider, the black-cloaked man walked towards Shay and the woman. Shay grew scared, since it was obvious to her that this was no ordinary Sith; this guy was evil. But something was different. Something like a Jedi trait flickered through his eyes when he picked her up, something like compassion. Shay noticed that he had also picked up a boy, her age, that looked a heckuva lot like her. Same brown eyes. Same dark hair. Same birthmark under the right eye. What's his name??? What's his name??? What's his...

Shay woke up in a sweat, only to realize that she had forgotten what she had dremt about. All she knew was that somewhere in the galaxy was a boy who looked a lot like her...

DT had said something about her past. Come to think of it, Shay was the only Jedi who didn't know about her life before she had been found by the Council. Why??? What was being hidden from her???

The padawan sighed and slid her hand under her pillow. Removing the disk she had carefully concealed under it, she scanned through the downloaded legends, hoping for some clue that would help solve this damn riddle. Somewhere in the eleventh legend she found it.

"...The Guardian of the Galaxy will appear when the Universe is thrown into chaos, and fight the Ulitimite Battle with the Guardian of Power. Whoever shall survive will indeed acheive eternal power and become the strongest being known among the stars. But he who will succeed must posses both the Key of Innocence and the Key of Tranquility. Both will be found on the Choosen one's Master's home..."

Choosen One's Master. Wasn't that Obi-Wan Kenobi??? Wasn't that on Tatoonie???

WIth a quick glance at the ship's coordinate's, Shay grew cold.

Wasn't that where they were heading???

Shay: DarthKid, where the hell are you when I need you???

[The Lounge Lizard]

:: Taulta the Hutt casually puffed his hookah as his lackey relayed him some information. It appeared that many outsiders were making their way to Tattooine. ::

Taulta: We must keep an eye on these newcomers. Find out why they are here, and what they are up to. Perhaps some of them have bounties on their heads...HO HO HO HO.

:: A commotion erupted at the front gate of the palace. Gamorrean guards met an intruder, but were tossed aside like ping pong balls, skidding on the floor. A short man with close-cropped gold hair and a scar over the right side of his face casually walked in Taulta's throne room, his battle armor glistening in the available light. The man had a look of total arrogance ::

Taulta: NO! Not you again!

LL: Yes, Taulta...its me.

:: A cadre of armed guards moved toward the Jedi, and the Hutt bellowed frantically ::

Taulta: NO! Don't interfere...leave him alone!

LL: (smiling) Thank you, Taulta. You are most hospitable.

Taulta: What do you want this time???

LL: There is a young boy on this planet...his name is Turbogeek Paladin. I want to know where he is.

:: Taulta stammered and stuttered ::

Taulta: Y...y...yes, I know him. I can have someone show you his home, for 3000 credits?

:: LL raised an eyebrow ::

LL: Three thousand? Mighty Taulta, you are overstepping your authority.

Taulta: Did I say three thousand? I meant three hundred! THREE HUNDRED!

LL: You know...it would be awfully neighborly if you did this as a favor.

Taulta: (very fearful) Did I say anything about money? NO! I'll have a man show you for free! Consider it a gift!

:: LL closed his eyes and bowed slightly ::

LL: Thank you, mighty Taulta. You are indeed wise.

:: A skiff was quickly prepared for LL, and it departed for Turbogeek Paladin's home in the Jutland Wastes ::

LL: (Thinking) Excellent. Soon the Legend will come to pass. Be ready, Turbogeek Paladin....destiny awaits.

[Bromine]

::Bromine's speeder cruises into central Mos Eisley. The scanners were going like crazy; JB was close. Bromine parks the speeder and uses his own Force abilities to track JB to the Cantina. He senses the abrupt change in temperature as he enters. With a deliberate step he walks over to JB's table and sits down.

Bromine-"I need information."

JB-"And why would I help you?"

Bromine-"mmmm...perhaps we can help each other. It's all up to you."

JB-"What kind of information do you want?"

Bromine-"I know DT has a son. I know he is very important. I know he's somewhere on Tattooine. And I've sensed a Vogon somewhere on the planet as well. I want to know how all that fits together, and I want to know why you were in the Jundland Wastes, in the vicinity of Obi-Wan Kenobi's old dwelling."

[JediBoricua]

JB-"I would have loved to help you, 'friend', but all you know is all I know. Oh another thing, that bounty hunter over there is looking for your friend Alpha, some old feud he said. You should war him when he get here"

::As Bromine turns Boricua disappears from the room, leaving some credits on the table to pay for the drink. Back on his speeder boricua sees some footprints::

JB-"What the...I guess I should check it out"

::Boricua goes as fast as the repulsorfits can go. He goes over dune after dune, seeing nothing but jawas and tusken raiders. Suddenly...a shadow....a huge beast he had never seen before. Boricua goes for his LS but the beast turns and throws a boulder at the jedi's head, knocking him out cold. The beast grabs him and carries him in his back::

[Bromine]

::Bromine snatches up the credits that Boricua left on the table, then makes his way for the exit.::

[Darth Turbogeek]

A Vog'on appears at the Mos Eisley Cantina :

The place goes quiet as the enormous brute walks in

Vog'on : Snort ghgw dlh wothwj! (Where are the Jutland Wastes!)

Bartender : It's a sandy blob in that direction (points)

Vog'on : jasghf! (Thank you)

A Rodian jumps out with a blaster

Bartender : NO BLASTERS! NO BLASTERS!

Rodian : YOU DIE!

Vog'on : ijhsyq! (Just try!)

The Rodian does try, firing at the Vog'on. The beat oves with stunning speed, dodges the blast and rips the Rodian in half with it's claw tail.

Vog'on : Khwsgfwivfyi! (Anyone else want to die?)

No takers

The Vog'on walks out, leaving a quivering pile of Rodian.

Jedi Boricua and Bromine, watching this exchange can hardly believe the speed of the beast.... and as Bromine tries to read it mind or control it... he is surprised to find he cant do either.

JB : Shiiiitttt......
Bromine : Bout the first true word I have ever heard of a Jedi. What in blazes was that?

[Lord Fire Blade]

Arriving at tatooine, I head toward the Jutland wastes.

Landing my shuttle in a rift valley, I begin the wait to sundown. I dont want to be seen.

[Bromine]

::Bromine motions to his speeder.::

Let's cut it open and see what's inside.

::A battle droid unfolds and steps out from the back of Bromine's speeder. It ignites its sabre and powers up its small shield generator.::

I hope it doesn't get scuffed up. Those things are expensive.

::Bromine raises his hand and signals the droid to attack the monstrous creature. Then he quickly retreats to the shadows, just in case the monster looks for the droid's owner.::

<IMG SRC=http://members.spree.com/sci-fi/sithempire/droid.jpg HEIGHT=200>

[The Vogon]

My name is Viriigi'qu. I come out of the hovel these humans call a Cantina, I hear a droid power up behind me.

"What are you?"

The droid has a Lightsabre and a shield I see. Well, interesting.

It attacks.

Back I go, moving out of its way. It moves forward, I feint a punch and it moves to parry and I smash it with my tail. The shield protects it, but it still flys backwards and lands hard.

It gets up and I have worked out the attack. Screaming my battle cry, I sweep in a open claw strike. The droid cuts my claw off, but I also had my tail sweeping in from the other direction. Under the shied it goes, spearing the droid in the hip. The tail claw snaps shut, cutting the droid in half.

Turning away from the scrap, I look for the owner... luckily for it, it's not here.

My stump hurts, but no matter. It will grow back within a day... but more curious, that strange sense we Vog'on have when a Sith is present feels a Sith nearby. Strange.

I walk away, back towards the ship. I have the pleasure of clobbering a being who got in my way

[Firebird1]

*Firebird1 wakes up from his uneasy sleep*
Firebird1: What happened..
Monk: You were in pain, then fell over, you have been out since yesterday morning.
Firebird1: Dang, I did not think that it would cause me to sleep that long.
Monk: What would cause you
*The Monk is caught off guard as Firebird1's armor begins to glow again*
Monk: Why is it doing that?
Firebird1: It is dissappating the energy that is entering my body.
Monk: Why.
Firebird1: Many years ago, some Jedi began an experament to create the most powerful beeing known to exist, the Force Being. Their research showed that if a Jedi could harness this power, they would be able to spread light across the Galaxy. But they forgot that no one is perfict, all their past attempts had failed, until they began to train children from birth to accept this power. I was the oldest trained, I was only 4 at the time, and I achieved that level but not in the way I had expected. The overseer for the project was slowly slipping into madness over the project, and began to beleve that by killing off the familys of the apprentices, the results would be greater. So he hired many crimals that would do his dirty work. Unfortunally I was only able to save my brother MLurker from the rest of my familys fate, by placing him inside of a ship I had found. At that moment I finished my training, and became the Force being for a split second, and in that second, all of space and time was open too me, and I saw how the Jedi had concived the project from the Legend. But in that instant, the entire planet I was on was burned to a crisp, destroying all the records and, untill know, all the other children who were trained...
Monk: The person you are looking for is in the area know as the Jutland Wastes, becarful there is a Vog'on wondering around on this planet as well.
Firebird1: Then he had better stay out of my way. He is here for only one reason, to kill Turbogeek Paladin, but I have other plans...

[The Vogon]

In the Vog'on ship, looking a monitor....

FREGGE : Virii has been attacked!
GREHVJW : Pay it no mnid. It's only a lifeless droid.
HRGBVW : Yes, he already destroys the machine
FREGGE : He lost hand
HRGBVW : He'll grow another
GREHVJW : Do you know if he finds Wasteland

Fregge listens to a hidden reciever.

FREGGE : Virii say yes. Say also he heard something about a Force Being
GREHVJW : The one who would lead us to possession of the Galaxy as our right?
FREGGE : Yes, that one. Do you believe that nonsense?
HRGBVW : We have been living with dreams like that since our forefathers came in life. Let him dream, it may be for real this time
GREHVJW : SILENCE!!! I will not have talk like that! The Prophecy is to be fulfilled and we shall arise as servant of the One!
FREGGE : Virii says one more thing.. he believes he felt the presence of a Sith.
HRGBVM : Well..... there may be Jedi here too. Tell the rest to prepare. We must not fail.

[The Lounge Lizard]

:: The skiff pulls up to a small adobe hovel, overlooking rocky crags in the desert. LL quickly disembarks from the skiff and goes to the front door and knocks. A young boy with sandy blond hair opens the door ::

Boy: Yes?

LL: Are you Turbogeek Paladin?

Boy: No. There was another boy who lived here named Turbogeek Paladin...(Thinking)...I think you are the one that he told me appeared to him in a dream.

LL: I am?

Boy: Yes. He said a man from space would come, and he would help me leave Tattooine. Is this true?

LL: (Thinking) Yes. I am here to take you with me. Can I come in?

Boy: Yes.

:: The boy leads LL into his home. He sees a middle-aged woman who looks like she has had a hard life. ::

LL: (To the woman) Hello, I am The Lounge Lizard, Jedi Knight. I have come for a quest.

:: The woman looks to her son, who is standing by LL, holding an old scroll ::

Boy: He told me to give you this. He found it at a Jawa junk sale one day. You can have it.

:: The boy hands the scroll to LL ::

LL: Thank you very much. (To the mother) I am here to help you escape Tattooine.

Mother: Thank you....thank you so very much.

LL: Just get your belongings together. I will be back in 2 hours to pick you up.

:: LL walks out of the hovel....reading the old dusty scroll with wondrous eyes ::

LL: (Thinking) This is it! The final piece of the puzzle! Now, I need to find Turbogeek Paladin, and the Legend will be complete.

[Bromine]

::Bromine looks down at the destroyed droid, then watches the monster leave.::

Crapola.

[Darth Turbogeek]

LL : Please note, as I stated before, Turbogeek Paladin is NOT on Tatooine.

But you will find the first clue where he is there.

[Darth Turbogeek]

Shay gets up after a restful sleep and wanders over to the control room. She sees DT staring out into space, the hyperdrive still on and the swirl of hyperspace lighting the cabin i errie light

Shay : Hey DT, where are we going?

DT : Into the past

Shay : Pardon?

DT : Into past history, young one. Mine mainly.

Shay : Oh.....

DT : At present we are about three days away from our destination, a planet in the Outer Rim. Where I found you.

Shay : You... found me?

DT : Yes and another. Shay, the next weeks wont be easy for either of us. Your going to see a lot of my past I wished would never reappear, but it looks like it has... fully. So, I guess you need to know some....

:: DT sighs::

DT : Once, long ago, I was born as Marcus Q'Dunn in the Outer Rim. I was found at the age of five to have abilities in the Force and a Sith by the name of Callista happened to find me first

Shay : Callista... as in Luke Skywalker's ex-girlfriend?

DT : Yes, her. After she left Skywalker, she became a full blown Sith. She turned me into her apprentice and by far most powerful weapon. I became a full Dark Lord and I was given the name of Darth Venom - and strong I was. She was hopeful I could be the chosen one....

Shay : Chosen one? Wasnt that Anakin Skywalker?

DT : Well, there was some other Chosen one she found out about. Dont ask me, I actually didnt believe her hooky legends. Anyway, your planet you were born on, I was supposed to assasinate a ruler and his family as Callista was made angry by them... probelm was, I got a concious attack when I was about to deal the death blow to the child they had. I got serious doubts about the path Callista wanted me to follow... andin revenge she set the Vog'on out to destroy the planet

Shay : Vog'on?

DT : Beasts created out of the Force by a truly powerful Dark Side user years ago. They bascially were created to kill. In the years, they had settled on a planet and basically destroyed the ecosystem so much, they needed a new one. They made a deal with callista, they would find me and she would give them your home plnet.

Shay : She promised.... how COULD she?

DT : it was in effect her's to give. She owned just about everything and most were enslaved to her.

Shay : I'm going to be sick

DT : So was I when I found out what she had done. I set out to free the world of their spawn... but the Vog'on were too much for me. I barely escaped and you and your brother with me.

Shay : Your not... your not my father are you?

DT : (laughs) No... no. Cwertainly not. I saved you.

Shay : Oh......

DT : And the other... (Thoughtful) Turbogeek Paladin. Strange that one. Clouded his future was...

Shay : Turbogeek Paladin? If he's not your son, why do you both have the same name?

DT : Oh, the planet you came from, Turbogeek was a title, not a name. Only truly great ones, honoured and respected won the right to that title. I took the name Turbogeek to signify I would always remember the people of that planet and defend what they stood for.

Shay : Then if Turbogeek is a title.... what was a baby doing with that name? We only babies then, correct?

DT : Yes and that's what puzzls me. Turbogeek was not an inheritable title, but one to be earned. What a baby could have done to earn that, I'd love to know. I suspect part of it is why the Vog'on have come out of hiding

DT lapses into silence and the ship keeps hurtling on in Hyperspace

[TSCAlpha]

::Alpha walks over to Bromine::

What was that thing?

::Alpha points to the creature's remains::

[General Scorpion]

*The Sumitra Sector seemed to be bustling with a bit more space traffic. Especially at Tatooine.... 'Why, of all places, would Tatooine have more traffic?', Scorpion thought to himself as he read the odd intelligence reports.. And several important ones have been reported on "vacation", although Scorpion hardly believed that Jedi took vacations. The report was obviously very wrong.. Some odd feeling seemed to help fill in the blanks though... Tatooine traffic increase, several Jedi taking a "vacation".. Luckily, intelligence decided to put several agents on Tatooine, seeing that this was a site of many important occasions, ones that they wouldn't want to miss...

--

Scorpion's Lambda XIP Shuttle exited the hangar bay of the Imperial II Star Destroyer "Unstable" and the course for Tatooine was set before the Sith could finish checking his gear..*

[Bromine]

::Bromine looks over at Alpha.::

That...is a big heap of trouble.

[Shay Kaylon]

Turbogeek Paladin. A brother. Her brother. What the hell???

Shay: DT , can't you give me more information other than what you've told me???

DT: Not yet, young one. You'll know soon enough.

Shay: But this is my past! This is what I've wondered about for so long! If I'm a Force user, how do we know that my brother isn't either??? What about the Keys in the legend??? Is my brother even still alive???

DT: (closing his eyes) He is. Although we have no way of identifing him. Only that he is on Tatoonie where all the other Jedi will search for us.

Shay: We do have a way to iden...Searching for us??? What???

DT: I'll tell you later, but what where you saying?

Shay: (Pointing to a small dark circle under her eye) See this birthmark??? He has the same exact one in the same place. Also, we may look slightly alike, (Fingers her dark brown hair) I hope.

DT: Well, it's a chance. But first we must go to the planet where the Vog'ons first appeared. There we may get some answers.

Shay: (thinking to herself) Maybe more answers than I hoped for...

[Master Yoghurt]

************
OUTER RIM
************

With a flash, an YT-1300 corellian freighter, the SILVER FALCON jumped out of hyperspace. Inside the pilot compartment sat a small green figure. His fingers run across the control panel of the main flight computer, plotting the course: Tatooine. The autopilot engaged..


Yog was distressed. Breathing slowly, he tried to relax and let his thoughts drift. Back at Jedi Council, Yog had seen more visions: The Dark Warior.. smiling his evil grin.. "DIE!", he had screamed before the vision got blured. Something horrible was going to happen. His dark presence could be traced to Tatooine. Whatever his intentions, they were not good. He had to be stopped. Suddenly.....


~help~


What was that?


~help~


There it was again! A movement in the force..


~save me~


A voice.. someone crying for help.. who could it be?


~follow me~


Weird. That voice seemed somehow familiar. With a blank look in his face, Yog turned off autopilot and let the force guide his movements. The Silver Falcon strayed from course..

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

[TSCAlpha]

::Alpha looks at Bromine then back to the remains::

I hope that wasn't a scout...if it was we are in deep @#%$...

::Alpha unsheaths his katana::

[Vengence]

Finally the Dark Eclipse remerges from hyperspace, carrying it's downtrodden captain aboard. He is still no closer to an answer as to why he cannot use the Dark Side. Although he misses the power of the force, he has refrained from using the light side, as, he fear what it will do to him. Not wishing anymore confusion added upon the great weight he bears already, he avoids the force altogether. He emerges from the back, and takes control of the ship, and expertly lands it in the hangar bays of Sith HQ.

Disembarking from his beloved ship, he saunders through the halls, with his eyes never leaving the floor. Finally he reaches his room, he enters, and tosses his bag onto his bed, and slumps down heavily in his chair. His head hangs low, as the dejected and confused warrior considers his situation. Finally, a decision has been made, and he feels the time is right. He rises slowly from his chair and leaves his room.

[Firebird1]

*On entering the wastes, Firebird1 sees a ship that was a small imatation to the one that Jabba the Hut had used in his last days, Firebird1 is granted premission to come aboard.*
Taulta: Ah, another lost Jedi coming to know the wearabouts of a..
Firebird1: Accutaly I'm a Sith. Now, shut up you twit, I haven't the time to deal with the likes of you.
One of Taulta's guards: No one talks to the Great..
*The guard is cut off in midsentence as Firebird1 punches him in the face. The momentum of the punch sends the guard crashing through a bulkhead, down to the sands below.*
Firebird1: You never should of become involved, you don't know what you are messing with here, that scroll could spell doom for us all.
Taulta: All I wanted was for LL to be killed, and I thought that two droids programmed to be human and this old scroll found in an abandoned hut in the wastes would do that job for me.
Firebird1: Did you not think that for a second that the hut once belonged to a Jedi master. And that the Jedi beleve that these legends, and that these legends could destroy this planet?
Taulta: umm..no
Firebird1: Was there anything else in that hut, any other scrap of paper?
Taulta: Yes, an Imperial paper that stated that the Emperior feared something. But I lost it.
Firebird1: Well, well, well what should I do now for compensation. How about hand over all of your credits that is inside this ship, and I shall call it even.
Taulta: Over my dead body.
*Several of Taulta's guards begin to approch Firebird1 from all sides.*
Firebird1: As you wish.
*As Firebird1 leaves the badly damaged hulk that was once Taulta's ship with a huge sack over his shoulder, he leaves another message for LL.*

If you crave power that will bring justice to the chaos, you already had that with the Jedi, but now you have given that up. Why? What would motivate you to become something that would bring the latter?

[Garik Loran]

The newly appointed ship "Jade Raptor" orbits the desert planet of tatooine. Garik's force sensitivity told him as much as the ship's scanners did. Many were assembled here.

Alpha, Bromine, Firebird representing the Sith.

Boricua,Yoghurt, and himself representing the Jedi.

And then there was LL.

Their power he could sense from orbit. Yet there was another power here. Something foriegn, alien to him. Garik centered in on it and set his course for an area just outside Mos Espa.

The Jade Raptor's hull screamed with the turbulence of entering the Tatooine atmosphere, and then the clouds parted revealing the scrorched world.

Alarge black vessel sat in a small valley that was created by two sand drifts. It was unlike anything Garik had ever seen before. He scanned it with his equipment as well as the force. When his scanners pinged them, they were instantly aware of him.

A flurry of concussion missles fired from the nose of the vessel, 12 missles set to shred the nosy Jedi. Garik set his shields to full and held his breath.

A series of dull thuds rang from the ventral hull, but no explosions. garik had taken the latest jury-rigging theory to the next level. He switched the polarity of his shields and disarmed the warheads inside torpedoes and missles as they neared his ship.

Garik lowered down his targeting computer and tightened his grip around the fire control. The Jade Raptors lights dimmed for a fraction of a second as the turbolaser barker three continuous streams of death at the unknown vessel.

3 Shots, 3 direct hits. One aft to disable engines, one fore to take out the concussion missle launcher, and one midship just for good measure. The barrage left the ship without a landing pylon, Garik noticed as he circled in closer. He landed a few hundred feet away. Chgecking his saber, he dashed dwon the ramp and towards the dark ship.

[General Scorpion]

*The Lambda XIP leaped from hyperspace just above atmosphere, diving towards the planet's surface.. Scorpion checked his gear again and set the auto-weapons to yellow alert..

The ship gently lands far into the lonely desert.. A small speeder bike is unloaded and a search for the disturbance commences...*

[JediBoricua]

::JB was unconcious. Three Vog'on where beside him waiting for the jedi to wake up::

A vog'on says: (This stupid jedi must wake up, we must know what he knows)

::Suddenly the jedi head begins to moves, his eyes open. To his surprise he wasn't in a cage nor where his hands tied. Of course his LS was missing::

Vog'on: (Welcome back, jedi. I suppose you are wondering why you cannot feel the Force. As you can see there are no yslamari around, it is just and old trick the Emperor taught us. Now talk)

JB: "'bout what"

Vog'on: (About why are so many force users here, about DT and his son, about this sudden crazy jedi and his delusions of grandure)

JB: "I know nothing about that"

Vog'on: (Then, why are you here?)

JB: "Visiting Luke and Mara, to see how the children are doing"

Vog'on: (Like I'll believe that. I think this calls for more drastic measures"

::This said the vog'on standing by the door took out a blaster, set on stun, he shot::

Vog'on: (We'll use him as bait to lure the rest of the jedi, go and find his ship and bring it here)

[Master Yoghurt]

************************
INSIDE THE SILVER FALCON
************************


Yog was in a trance.. letting the force flow... in calm but focused meditation.. concentrating.. he was determined to find out where and who the voice in the force came from.. it sounded so familiar..

~~help~~

There it was again! This was driving Yog crazy! Then suddenly..

.~._.~._.~._.~.

Another movement in the force! Boricua! Yog's friends were in danger! But what should he do first: Follow the voice or help out his friends? Stupid question. His friends had first priority. That other mystery had to wait!

::Yog punched the throttle at 100%.. a few minutes later the engines of the silver falcon could be heard roaring through atmosphere of Tatooine..::

[Darth Turbogeek]

Okay.....

Can I ask for people to wait for my next post before adding more..... I just need a bit of time to add the next turn in the plot


---

The Vog'ons emerge from their ship. 12 in number......

Fregge : What do we do with this Jedi?
Virii : Bait.

[The Vogon]

from the depths of the Vog'on ship, the Vog'ons march out in the bright sun of Tatooine.

Fregge : (Throwing the Jedi to the ground) I personally dont agree with you Virii. Alerting the Jedi to our presence may not be the wiseest thing to do
Virii : Oh yeah, what have you become such a cowrd, you fight with weapons?

Hearing this the Vog'on move a bit away from Virii and Fregge - this is a dire insult!

Fregge grabs Virii in a neck pinch... the deadly claws so close to piercing the other's skin...

FREGGE : How dare you question my honour. I was allowed to fight bare clawed before you we a hatchling!
HRGBVW : ENOUGH!!! Fregge, unhand Virii!

Fregge complies with reluctance

HRGBVW : This is not the time for stealth. We will find the one who escaped us before - we will find one who is worthy to command us! Now, Krhgwwee, do what we planned. The Jedi will lead others here and soon. I want to test the strength of the forces we may encounter and I want it done NOW!

Krhgwwee drags the Jedi back onto the ship and closes the hatches.

GREHVJW : Do you think we will find the item we need?
HRGBVW : Yes. It is our clue to the place Paladin is.
FREGGE : But... dont we already know?
HRGBVW : You as dumb as you are stupid. That was a transmission with a spoofed point of origin. Anyone following that lead will end up on a dead planet. What we need is the item.... now no more argument. We move.

The 11 Vog'ons, mbegin to move. Walking trotting, then stepping into a blur of speed as they begin to run. A Jedi would be hardparessed to keep up...

The run to a valley and here they find a cave. The Vog'on stop, the leader Hrgbvw inspects the entrance

HRGBVW : The marks are correct. It is here.
FREGGE : Are you sure?
GREHVJW : As much as I think Fregge is a human spawn (Fregge snarls), I agree. How do we know?
HRGBVW : We trust what Callista gave us. She wants us to find the youth too, so I doubt she would give us bad information
FREGGGE : And if she did.... I rip her guts out.
HRGBVW : Now Fregge talks like Vog'on. Three of you stand guard. The rest.... come with me.

One of the guards pulls out a comm link and makes a call.

[Lord Fire Blade]

Landing on Tatooine, my sensors lock up a lifeform... an odd one. I run it by the scanners and see they are "unknown"

Ahhh. That msut be what I am looking for.

[Darth Turbogeek]

:: Fianlly, the long trip is over and with some relief and more than a both of concern, DT comes out of Hyperspace of the co-ordinates tof the planet the message came from...

Only to find to his utter shock....

Nothing.

No planet, no system, no nothing.

Shay : Huh?
DT : I think you said it well Shay. I think we have been had.
Shay :You mean - There is no Paladin?
DT : No, we have just fallen for a trick of some kind.
Shay : A trick? By who?
DT : Dont know.....

A ship comes out of Hyperspace nearby.

Shay : DT, a large ship as just made realspace, about 1000 knms from us.
DT : HUh? (Glances up at the reading) That's an odd ship. I've never seen one like that.... let be use the Force and see if I can get a reading on who is on-board....

DT relaxes and and then begins to look at the ship via the Force. Sickingly sudden, he touches a presence...

DT : Oh no.....
Shay : wha....
DT : Turn the hip around...
Shay : STRAP IN!!!

The fighter is turned on a dime and then the sublight engines scream as full ememrgency power is released.

Shay : What's going on?
DT : Were getting out of here, that's whats going on
Shay : Why? (She can feel DT's sense.... she is surprised there is anger, rage... but there is also fear. She can hardly believe a Jedi like DT could possibly be afraid...)
DT : Believe me Shay, I have the right to be scared. I KNOW who is on that cruiser
Shay : Who?
DT : Callista.....

Shay looks in wonder as the fighters nav comp pings for the hyperspace course and DT without hesitation, hits the hyperspace engine levers.

As the colours of Hyperspace swirl, Shay hears DT mutter "... now we are in real deep poodoo...."

It doesnt exactly inspire her with condience::

[Garik Loran]

Tracking the strange creatures across the desert, Gaarik happens upon Jedi Boricua lying in a heap. Garik breaks out his canteen and gives the water to his unconscious friend.

Boricua-What happened?

Garik- They stunned you pretty good. Can you stand?

Boricua groggily rose to his feet. The two Jedi set out across the desert to find these wierd creatures that seemed to ooze with the darkside.

[Firebird1]

*looking over the desert with his binoculars, Firebird1 sees Garik and JB walk off in search of the beings who captured JB.*

This warrents investgation, but from afar....

*Firebird1 calls in to his ship the "Falling Star"*
Firebird1: K9 come in
K9: K9 here sir.
Firebird1: Who are these new players?
K9: They are the Vog'on, a race of creatures created some how by an old Dark force master many centuries ago. They seek The Son of Turbogeek to use him as an instrument to gain control of the galaxy.
Firebird1: And I guess they want to elemate the compentition.
K9: Yes, but it remains to be seen, they have healing abilities, claws on their hands and feet, and tails that can also be used as a weapon.
Firebird1: I have plans to make, and a large sum of money to spend.
*Firebird1 leaves the wastes with the sack full of a dead Hut's credits over his shoulder.*

::The twin suns of Tatooine burns the sand, everything is quiet.. then suddenly, a humming sound is heard, louder and louder.. the sand is thrown upward in the air as the YT-1300 freighter Silver Falcon lands.. ramp lowers.. out steps Yog::

Ahh.. Tatooine.. (looks around)

::Yog picks up comlink.. establishing connection to Emkay droid unit onboard the Silver Falcon..::

Yog: Hide the ship and stand by for further orders.
Emkay: Roger, roger

::As the Silver Falcon took off, Yog drank from a bottle of water and started walking in the burning sand.. all senses alert.. letting the force flow.. trying to locate movement in the force.. Yog knew his friends Boricua and Garik were close. Hopefully, he would arrive in time..::

[Shay Kaylon]

Back on Coruscant~

DarthMaulKid searched through the endless files of legends. Rubbing his eyes tiredly, the Sith turned off his
computer and leaned back.

Kid: Damn those Jedi and their stupid legends. A year on Hoth with no protection would be better than this!

~He turns on the communicator that he rigged to pick up communications within a hundred foot radius. Listening closely, he picks up a message to another jedi~

Voice: Be careful Who knows what Master DT will do with all that anger inside of him. Sources have told us that the have headed out of the western hemisphere, and ships are being dispatched at once. He has a hostage with him, padawan Shay. Be on your guard; An angry Jedi Master is no thing to mess with. An angry Darth Turbogeek is tenfolds worse.

Kid: What???? That can't be right!!! Oh, Force, it those stupid legends!! Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!!!!!

~Kid turns on the computer, upset~
Kid: Maybe if I can figure this out, I may be able to find out where DT is headed.

[JediBoricua]

::JB looks back at Garik::

JB: "Dude, thank you"

Garik: "NO problem, let's go find those beasts"

JB: "Sure, but.....I sense Yoghurt coming, let's wait for him"

Garik: "'k"

[Garik Loran]

Garik-We need to strategise our attack on these things. They are ancient foes of the Jedi and powerful in the darkside.

JB- Yes I think that is wise. Between the three of us, I think we can come up with something.

The pair of Jedi are suddenly distracted by a violent tremor in the force. Someone they knew was afraid for thier life.

Garik-DT and Shay! They are in trouble!

JB-But what about these monsteres.

Garik is torn between saving Shay and battling these hideous creatures.

[JediBoricua]

Garik here is what we do, I'll stay here and wait for Yog to go after this monster, you take your ship and find DT and Shay whereever they are. I know you and DT share a strong bond since he was the one who trained you, I'll report to you every 4 hrs. May the Force be with you.

[Master Yoghurt]

TATOOINE - JUTLAND WASTES

::A small green figure approaches::


Garik: Hey, when we speak of the.. it is Yog!

Boricua: Hola Amigo! So cool to see you dude! Finally, you arrive!

Yoghurt: Thank the force! Good to see you is! Long time walked.. find you have I. Alive you are. Much worried I was!

Garik: Man, you are still alive.. but these Vog'ons are still around. We should beat the crap out of them. They deserve it.

Boricua: Yes, those Vogon's are so uncool..

Yoghurt: Yes.. contfront the Vog'ons we must. Evil they are. Foreseen it I have. Our path it is. Us the fate of galaxy depends on. Stop them we must. Wait.. a tremor in force.. fear.. danger.. feel it you do?

Garik: Yes, it is DT and Shay.. I sense they are in trouble. What should we do?

Boricua: We should help them out, man.

Yoghurt: We could.. wait! Boricua? Not so good you look. Nasty Vog'on hurt you did? Force heal you I will...

**SUDDENLY**

Boricua: Hold on a parsec, dude.. we have visitors..


::A roar is heard, as 3 Vog'ons appear..::


::Boricua puts on his sunglasses, staying cool as ever. Garik removes his cloak and gives the Vog'ons a harsh stare, evaluating his opponents. Yog closes his eyes and calmly draws power from the force. As the beasts approach, Yog moves to the right flank, Boricua to the left and Garik in the middle::


::The Vog'ons growl in annoyance as the Jedi ignite three lightsabers at once..::

[Vengence]

The dejected warrior rises from his chair, and grabs the bag that he had earlier tossed aside. He moves slowly to the door, and exits. Moving through the halls, passing fellow Sith, he doens't acknowledge them, and moves along, about his business. Finally he comes to the room where Mara is being kept. He moves slowly past the guards, and opens the door. He enters, and feels his heart swell, and a tear finally falls from his dark eyes. Opening his bag, he takes out a bouquet of pink roses, and sets them by her bedside. He sits down, and glances carefully over to Mara, and begins to weep, at the results of his failure.

"Why has this happened? Why not me? My incomptence has robbed the Sith of their leader." Glances to Mara "I have failed you, and could not protect you. I'm sorry, but I guess that's not gonna to do good now, huh? If only you hadn't gone alone, and had let me come with you, that pathetic Jedi would be dead, and we would be sharing a drink, while we gloat over his demise." His eyes, and head fall to the floor. "Now my powers are gone, and I am of no use to the Sith, or anyone for that matter." He begins to ponder about his Light powers coming back to him, and the choice that is becoming more obvious to him. "I'm sorry Mara, I have failed you, and I'm going to fail you once again, I guess that's my lot in life"...............

[Shay Kaylon]

Shay woke up, a deep cut in her forehead. The young teenager tried to sit up only to cry out in pain as a razor-sharp jolt of pain raced up her leg. Wincing, she tried to stand up slowly, and limped out of the smashed up ship. Looking at her surrounding, Shay was surprised to see that most of the vegetation was dried and shriveled, like there hadn't been enough water on the planet for years.

Shay: DT!! Master DT, where are you???

DT was nowhere to be found. Shay knew that she would've seen him on the ship while coming out, so where could he be??

Shay: Hey, wait a mintue, how did we wind up here???

Shay couldn't remember crashing the ship, much less before. All she could remember was being chased by Callisto.

Shay: DT, where are you???

[The Lounge Lizard]

:: LL continued to study the final scroll....looking for the final whereabouts of Turbogeek Paladin ::

LL: This is too confusing. Where could he be?

[Darth Turbogeek]

:: As the ship blasts into hyperspace... it hits the mass shadow of a comet.... it goes out of control and in the final second, DT is hit on the head, KO'ing him::

The Razor comes out of Hyperspace near a planet and, with no-one to guide it, the computers take over just enough to stop a fatal crash.

It was pretty terminal however.

In the smoldering wreck...

:: DT comes back to conciousness...

"Oh, my head huuuurrrtttssss...." He views the wreckage he is inside and promptly falls unconcious again::

(Note to Jedi... I dont even know where I am.... I'd suggest it's impossible to find us)

[Lord Fire Blade]

Watching the Jedi and the vogon activities from afar, I play with a toy I had brougt with me... a small device I had takedn off a entity called Freiza a long time ago when he tried to kill me.

That time I admit I got lucky

The thing I had found out was called a "scouter" It seemed to find things called DragonBalls, something the Saiyann seemed to want very badly. Who cared. Inly the Force was important.

Idly I point the device at the direction the Vog'on went.. and to my utter surprise......

[The Vogon]

[Posted with permission of Turbogeek - LFB]

The nine vog'on move forward into the cave. They find a box which they open quickly. Inside, there is only one thing....

... A ball.

The Vog'on look at each other perplexed.

[Lord Fire Blade]

.... the scouter indicates the existance of a Dragonball near where the Vog'on are. I swear then ask myself what in the Force is going on.

Dragonballs?

Turbogeek gone mad?

Sons of Turbogeeks?

The Vog'ons reappear?

I thin that this is getting most perplexing... I decide to walk closer and see what else I can find out

[Firebird1]

*Inside the Falling Star*
K9: Sir, the sensors report that there is a Dragonball down there.
Firebird1: Well well, where there is one there are others...

[JediBoricua]

::The vog'ons were approaching the jedi::

JB-"Garik watch it"

::A creature jumps, fang headed at GL neck. His danger sense going bazook, the jedi knight sommersault and ignited his LS. In the air he trying to stab the beast, and to his surprise each attack was easily blocked by the Vog'on::

GL-"Guyz, we are in deep @#%$ here. They use the Force"

Yog-"Easy this will not be"

[The Vogon]

**growl-hiss**

::swipes claw at Yog..::

[Master Yoghurt]

::Yog smashes the lighsaberblade at the claw.. the claw falls off.. the Vogon growls loud.. then another Vogon sends its tail toward Yog's feet, but he jumps in last second, then sommersault over the Vogon, spins around 180 degrees , facing the back of the Vog'on::

"Yes, difficult opponents these are!"

::Twirls saber in figure eight formation.. moving rapid toward the Vog'on, slashing saber at Vogon's tail as it turns::

And the fight raged on..

[Vengence]

The Dark warrior rises from his seat. His mind is clearing, and a decision is coming to light. Turning to face his former master, he leans down, and gently kisses her cold forhead. He then turns and leaves the room silently, still dejected, but at least now with a purpose in mind. Grabbing his comlink from his belt, he calls down to the hangar crews to ready the <i:D ark Eclipse[/i]. He then calls over to the Sith information room. "Get me the last known location of Yoghurt, and transmit the coordinates to my ship." The reply comes over quickly "Yes, my Lord." The dark lord picks up his pace to get to his ship, while thinking to himself that maybe the powerfull Yoghurt can help me.

[Master Yoghurt]

While fighting the Vog'ons, Yog could feel a surge in the Force. Like someone was searching for him.. what was this? To gain some time, he sent a Vog'on backward with a blinding light. Stretching out with his feelings, he sensed the Force flow..
<font size=3>

~~~~
</font>
It is.. it is.. Vengence!

What in the Force did he want?

::Closes eyes.. "he seems different now.."::

Yog's concentration was broken off by a Vogon.. the fight continued..

[The Vogon]

AGGGGHHHH!!!!!

Swing rounddd.... punch!
Swing round.... Tail whip!

The little green creep is buffeted by the biggest Vog'on

[The Lounge Lizard]

:: LL's scouter beeps rapidly ::

What? Dragonballs?? Strange that I didn't locate them upon planetfall.

:: A plan begins to form in LL's head ::

Thats IT! I can use the dragonballs to wish myself to Turbogeek Paladin's position. Then, I can finally complete the prophesy and fulfill my destiny! Now...where's the closest one...

:: LL taps his scouter, and pans across the horizon ::

Three hundred miles away. Well.....time to go!

:: LL blasts off, flying rapidly through the wastes. He arrives at a craggy cliff, and walks to a cave opening. He is not alone ::

LL: Vog'ons...what the hell is going on?

:: The Vog'ons form a defensive perimeter around their precious dragonball, and one of them moves towards LL ::

Vog'on: You arre....Anbirrr...the Sssaiyajin.

LL: Yes I am.

:: LL lights a camel ::

LL: And you are a Vog'on. What brings you to Tatooine, or should I say...who?

Vog'on: That isss not imporrrtant. Yourrr presssence herrre isss not tolerrrated. Leave usss or die. We know yourrr fighting capabilitiesss. They arrre insssuficient to fight with usss.

:: LL takes a deep drag, and blows the acrid smoke into the Vog'on's eyes. ::

LL: Really? What do you KNOW about me? No matter what you might think you know....you are so far from the truth that it hurts. In actuality, none of you pose me a challenge. I am the One...the Force Being. Do you think that abominations like you concern me. Give me that dragonball.

:: The Vog'ons prepare to fight ::

LL: Oh...its like that, is it?

[The Vogon]

FREGGE : Get this piece of @#%$ out of here
VIRII : Pleasure!

With an almightly tailsweep, the Vog'on uses his tail pincer to cut the Jedi's chest....

FREGGE : Good. He will die in pain with our poison. Everyone, now GET OUT OF HERE.

:: The Vog'on charge LL as a mass::

[Master Yoghurt]

*************************
JUTLAND WASTES - TATOOINE
*************************

The battle raged on..


::The large Vog'on punches and swings tail at Yog. With a powerfull blow, he is sent flying backward. Yog tries to rise up, but the agressive beast jumps at him with its poisonous fangs extended and razor sharp claws open, ready for the kill. He rolls to the left in last second, slashing away one of the creatures legs in the same movement.. the Vog'on growls annoyed as it falls to the ground.. Yog flips up. While on the ground, the Vogon tries to stab its tail at Yog::

::Yog sidesteps, avoiding the tail and circling in clockwise direction the Vogon.. evaluating his opponent.. trying to find an achilles spot on the creature.. touches some buttons on the hilt of his lightsaber, the Blade Arca - changing the frequency.. the Blade turns color from green to purple.. reaches right hand at another lightsaber concealed in his cloak.. the blue blade extends..::

The red glowing eyes of the Vog'on looks anger at the green little Jedi facing him in defensive position with two extended lighsabers..

The Vogon: Hisssss...
Yog: Hiss indeed..

[Figrin D an]

*** Cut Scene - Jedi Tower - Coruscant ***

*** A door slides open, and Figrin D'an emerges from the Holocron Library, concealed deep within the Jedi Temple. He walks slowly down the hallway towards the Jedi Living Quarters, a data pad in one hand, a small, ancient-looking holocron in the other. He approaches a group of younger Jedi, who step aside and allow him to pass, acknowledging his presence with a polite bow of the head. Figrin returns the gesture and continues down the hallway. He taps a button on the pad and reviews the information he extracted and saved from the Jedi archives.
Shortly, he arrives at his living quarters. Moving with haste now, he opens a small wall cabinet near his desk. From it, he removes a small hand-held communicator and his lightsaber and attaches them to his belt.
He moves to his desk and pushes a button to access the com system.

"Hanger Bay, this is Figrin D'an. Prep my ship for immediate departure."

"Yes, sir," replies the docking controller.

Figrin slings his equipement pack, which he prepared earlier, on his shoulder and grabs the small holocron that he placed on his desk. He spends a moment, looking carefully at the tiny cube, and tosses it lightly into the air, only to snare it in mid-flight as clasp it tightly.

"Looks like my research just might pay off. Now, to see if the ion trace systems I installed on the ship will be enough to find him...."

Figrin hurries toward the hanger bay....

[The Lounge Lizard]

:: The Vog'ons pace triumphantly around LL, who has a large bleeding gash in his chest. The lead Vog'on speaks ::

Vog'on: Sssoon the venom will kill you.

LL: H..ha..hahahahaha......you idiot.

:: LL's hand begins to glow red ::

LL: You're not going to kill me with VENOM!

:: LL places his red-hot hand into the wound on his chest, steam billowing as the intense heat cauterizes his flesh and evaporates the venom in his system. LL braces and grits his teeth, while his body convulses and veins bulge along his temples ::

LL: RRRRUUUUUHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Ugh ugh ughhh.....

:: LL takes a moment to get a balance over the excruciating pain, while the Vog'on look on in sheer astonishment ::

LL: I will not make it easy for you. You want to kill me....

:: A smaller Vog'on creeps around LL's flank ::

LL: ...you're gonna have to do better than that!

:: The small Vog'on lunges at LL, slashing his claws at the Jedi. LL catches the creature by the wrist in mid flight. ::

Small Vog'on: EEE! EEE!

:: LL's eyes shift to the small Vog'on, as if noticing him for the first time. He looks at the lead Vog'on again, and smiles arrogantly. The air around LL begins to waft and distort, finally bursting into a yellow flame. The young Jedi's hair rises up, sparkling gold, as his eyes flash like a lion's in the night. ::

Small Vog'on: EEEEEEEE!!!!!!

LL: No. Its too late for that.

:: LL tightens the grip on the Vog'on's wrist, breaking the bones. The Vog'on screams a shrill cry. LL twists his arm, slamming his other forearm into the back of the elbow, breaking it cleanly. ::

Small Vog'on: Help meee, PLEASSSE!!!!!!

:: The Vog'on maintain their distance. LL flashes his smile again, and press-kicks the Vog'ons shoulder into the wall, crushing his shoulder blade, collar bone, and humerus at the ball and socket joint area. The small Vog'on begins breathing in broken breaths, because of the bone fragments lodging in his right lung. With his foot still planted on the Vog'on's shoulder, LL reaches up, grabbing the Vog'on's throat. The small creature's eyes seem to bulge slightly in their sockets, as he gasps for breath ::

LL: (in a calm voice to the lead Vog'on) Now watch your friend die.

:: LL pulls the Vog'on's throat down HARD. The sudden jerk dislodges the Vog'on's spinal column, and the whole vertebrae line begins to rip itself out of the body, tearing it in half as if the Vog'on were being unzipped. Blood and raw entrails splash messily over the cave floor, as the light goes out of the Vog'on's eyes. LL holds the dead Vog'on's head and spine, while the rest of him falls to the ground in a wet heap. The rest of the Vog'on increase their distance between themselves and the Jedi. LL wipes the smile off his face, and powers up again, the flames around him burning the flesh off the dead Vog'on's face, leaving only fire-bleached bone. LL stands holding the bony superstructure like a mace ::

[The Vogon]

Virii : Not bad
Fregge : Hpmh. Palpatine could do better than that.
HRGBVW : May I?
FREGGE : Do. As if we are are afraid to die. It is honour to die in battle! You will be remembered.
HRGBVW : (Snarls) Ooohhh yes. Now go with the box.
GREHVJW : Right.

The 10 other Vogons run out at high speed....

The Jedi moves to intercept and is suddenly laid low by a vicious swinging tail...

LL : Get out of my way or join your friend
HRGBVW : Thjguy! (Try me!)
LL leaps forward, intent on doing the same thing and is slammed back in the wall with a massive burst of Force energy.

(Telepathically FREGGE : The energy the ball gives off has been nullified for a while, it cant be detected whilst it holds. Have fun and die well
HRGBVW : I will)

LL gets up, splutter...
HRGBVW : YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!

The Vog'on suddenly spits acid into the Jedi's eyes and then whist Lounge Lizard is dealing with that, the beast jumps into a spinning slap kick, the spin more like a whirling blade with it's speed... the solid foot catches the Jedi in the chin and then the monster smacks LL with the tail as he lands.

Off balance and struggling to recover, the Jedi is grabbed by the throat and then gut punched as fast as the Vog'on cna do... an uppercut lifts the Jedi off the ground and the Vog'on smashes Lounge Lizard across the cavern, using his tail like a bat.

An errie glow comes off the Vog'on as it advances, bent on finishing the Jedi off....

LL

[The Lounge Lizard]

:: LL groggily stands up, and spits blood out of his mouth. The arrogant smile has vanished, leaving a face as cool as ice. ::

LL: I seem to have underestimated the Vog'on. Na muri!

:: LL wipes a ribbon of blood off the corner of his mouth ::

LL: You are fighting foolishly. Don't you know that I can take the dragonball from your friends at will?

Vog'on: Eekhle!

LL: You fight well. Much stronger than the ancient texts said the Vog'on were. But I sense you have reached your zenith.

:: The Vog'on attacks, lashing his tail at LL, and knocking him across the cave. He flies after him, sending him to the ground with a double hammer blow to the abdomen. LL slowly gets up once more, wiping a cut over his eye ::

LL: You are deluding yourself. Leave while you can still walk on those legs of yours.

:: The Vog'on strikes again, brutally pummeling LL in the stomach with rapid punches...but in the blink of an eye, LL catches his fists. The stunned Vog'on blinks. ::

LL: Now you've done it. I will surpass Super Saiyajin and kill you quickly! You've tried my patience long enough.

:: LL plants his right leg in the bedrock...then his left. The rock under him begins to fracture, and a strobing yellow aura glows with the intensity of a solar inferno and engulfs LL. ::

LL: (low, almost hissing) hhhhhhhhhhhhh............

:: The Jedi's body begins to grow, huge strata-like slabs of muscle bulging wildly. His battle armor fractures, then explodes into tiny pieces. Ribbons of fire swirl around him, as his hair flashes bright. The pupils in his eyes gleam, and then disappear under the whites of his eyes. ::

LL: (louder) hhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......

:: The ground begins to shake, and stalagtites crumble to the rocky cave bottom. Spears of plasma shoot from LL's body, blowing holes in the cave, nearly causing it to collapse. Chain lighting courses down LL's body with every beat of his heart. The pressure builds in LL like a bomb. ::

LL: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

:: The blinding gold aura explodes, bathing the Vog'on in an intense flood of heat and light. When his sight returns to him, LL is no longer what he remembered him to be, but instead is a colossus...power wafting from him like the tides of a tsunami. LL looks down at the terrified Vog'on, and tears the creatures hands off at the wrists, leaving bloody stumps ::

(Narrator): The destructive power that surpasses Super Saiyajin has finally been released. The Lounge Lizard's terrifying true power is at last being revealed. Is The Lounge Lizard truly the one who will become the Force Being. And why is he willing to sever all ties to achieve his quest. What is the Vog'ons' dark mission, and what will be done with the dragonballs. Who will be the first to Turbogeek Paladin? Stay tuned to the next installment of "Son of Turbogeek"....

[Garik Loran]

Garik dodged blows from every direction. He, Yog, and JB were waging a fierce battle. The Vogon warriors used every dirty trick in the book. Yog got a facefull of sand as the lead Vogon whipped his tail 360 and knocked Yog from his feet.

Boricua stepped in a blur, grabbing Yog to his feet. Garik stepped back from the debacle and studied his opponents.

Thier dark araus burned with hate.

GL: Stand back!

Yog:What the hell are you doing?

JB:Are you crazy?

Garik extinguished his saber and stalked to the Vogon. The Vogon sneered at the human.

GL: One on one.

Garik pointed to the largest.

GL:You first.

Yoghurt and Boricua both balked in amazement as the Vogon complied as if mesmerized by the gaul of this human. The exchange began quick as lightning as Garik hit the creature in the center of the chest so hard it's sternum ruptured it's heart. It was dead before it hit the ground. The second came at him with blinding speed. It's eyes rolled back and opened it's fanged mouth. The poison it spit sizzled as it traveled throught the air. The space Garik occupied was empty, as the Vogon's Jaw was shattered with a giant uppercut that rose him 3 feet off the ground. Garik grabbed the unconscious Vogon by the tail and sent him flying like a javelin.

The remaining Vogon all glanced inward in thier formation, and with a concerted effort, surrounded Garik. Several of the overhand blows were blocked, but even more found thier mark. Yog and JB both moved to intercede, but it seemed too late. The sound of bones snapping and blood being spattered was heard by both.

Yog:NO!

He and Boricua raced to the fray, battering the Vogon with thier sabers. The sky turned bright as sunrise. The light blinded the Vogons. The ground trembled and sand dunes were shaken flat. The light from the horizon all seemed to center to to the fight. A deep vibration was felt.

Yog grabbed Boricua by the collar of his robe.

Yog: Get down!!!!

The light was blinding. Both Jedi tried very hard to blink away the stinging pain. Boricua rose to his feet first and gasped. The Vogons lay all about his field of view, or at least parts of them. The stench was unbearable. The strewn bits seemed to be burned by incredible heat.

In the center of a large smoking hole, Garik lay a battered mess. His clothes were in rags, his armor destroyed. The shape and position of his limbs suggested that he may be dead. The frantic Jedi ran to thier friend. Yog put his hand over Garik heart.

Yog:He's alive!

Both stood wondering what to do. And beyond that, what the hell happened.

[JediBoricua]

JB-"Whoa! Garik, what was that!"

GL-"I do not know boricua. I felt something I had never felt before. The Force was flowing as it had never done before in every cell of my body. Although I was in the middle of an insane battle, I felt at peace...everything in the universe seem perfect.

Yog-"At last Garik!"

GL-"At last what? master"

Yog-"Although you are a jedi knight, bits of your dark past still remained in you. My friend you are finally free from the dark side. Fear, agression, violence are no longer part of you. You have achieved greatness. For that I congratulate for I know the path you have taken has been a long and hard"

JB-"Congrats dude, but there will be time for partying later, now we must find Turbo's son"

::A huge shadow covers the sun's light. LL's giant figure appears behind the jedi::

LL-"Missed me?"

[The Vogon]

Virii : Damn, that was unexpected...

With an insane howl, the Vog'on touches the Dark side...

"From the Dark Side I was made.... make me again!!!"

The Force twists in darkness as the creature is remade...

It hate swelling, it charges LL and powerful jaws bite at the exposed neck

[Firebird1]

*Not very far away...*
Firebird1:So it has finally happened, the fool, he will not be able to control that much power for long...
K9: Sir this planet is suddenly undergoing geothermal changes, the planet may not remain stable for very long.
Firebird1:LL is a fool to beleve that he can do any good with that much power. He will end up destroying every planet he is on.

[Garik Loran]

LL stares at his comrades. To them at first, he seemed a little different, but through the force, he was very different. He held nothing back. His newfound power was amazing.

GL:What happened in that cave?

LL:I focused the the power of the universe and used the force to guide me. I ....transformed.....

Garik looks at Yog.

GL: Could his transformation have affected me?

[Master Yoghurt]

::Yog closes eyes.. lets the Force flow..::

"Possible it is, Garik. Why or how happened that, you ask? I know not.. the Force blurred is.. hmm.."

[Shay Kaylon]

Shay stumbled through the brush, trying to find any sign of life other than the plants. The cut on her forehead hadn't stopped bleeding and the padawan hadn't been able to find the herbs she needed to stop it.

Shay: That's so it, I'm sick of this.

Sitting in a crossed legged position, Shay tried to focuse on the living Force around her. There was one move that LL had tried to teach her once. Maybe this time it would work.

Grasping out to the Force, Shay concetrated on her cut, hoping that the Force Heal move would work. But the move overwhelmed the young girl, and Shay opened her eyes tiredly, dismayed to find the steady flow of blood was still coursing down her face. She tried to stand but found that the attempt on the Force Heal had taking far too much energy.

Shay:(Thinking) I have to keep moving. I have to find DT. I have to... But, surely nothing will happen of I take a nap. I'll be no use to anyone if I can't fight or anything.

Shay closed her eyes and let unconscieness take over. The young padawan was oblivious the quiet of the forest or the heavy flow of blood that covered her face and stained her tunic.

[Firebird1]

*Suddennly near the area where LL was transformed, red hot magma begins to rise through the crevices, first a trickle, then an explosion of lava, filling the cave, and aproching the entrence, prepairing to engulf all outside.*

[Darth Turbogeek]

:: DT awakes amongst the ship wreckage again...::

Ow. I've got a headache.

:: He crawls out of the wreck and notes Shay did not seem to be inside. He stumbles out and gasping in pain, he flops out onto the ground. The pounding of his head acts as a huge distration, but whith a notible effort, he manages to concentrate enough to touch the Force and to begin the healing process. Touching his face, he finds the source of the pain... a huge lump and cut. Using the Force to nullify the ache, he shakes his head, only for another wave of pain to overcome him...

... some time passes....

He awakes again and this time he actually feels somewhat better and stronger. Finding support, he gets up and surveys the world they had crashed on...

"Oh my, what a desolate hole this is...."

He looks around and wonders where Shay is. He decides to search via the Force and to his surpirse manages to locate her, some distance away.

:: Okay, now what do we have onboard to help survival? Theres the survval kit, I'll take that. Spare power, food... okay, that is about all I can carry::

Marching off DT goes in the direction he felt Shay was in... and in a surprisingly long amount of time, he finds her, unconcious and bleeding from a head wound.

:: Pulls out med kit and begins to patch wound::

After finishing and cleaning Shay up a bit, he stands and looks around the forest.

And slumps back down.

"Oh Shay.... what are we going to do now?" he moans.

[The Lounge Lizard]

:: LL notices a torrent of lava approaching. He blasts into the air, directly under the lava, and steeples his fingers, forming a diamond-shape hand gesture ::

LL: KI OKO!!!!!
HAAAAA!!!!!!!!
HAAAAA!!!!!!!!
HAAAAA!!!!!!!!

:: The lava implodes on itself, going deep into a huge crevice. With each blast, the opening in the earth closes, and the lava trickles to a standstill. After his work is done, LL pauses, wiping a stream of blood from his nose. The Ki-oko is very powerful, but the strain on the body is terrible. The Saiyajin Jedi touches down with the rest of his comrades ::

Garik: You did it! You've become the One!

LL: No...I have not. I must find Turbogeek Paladin for that. I am closer than ever, but so far away.

:: LL looks off in the distance, and touches an extended right index and middle fingers to his forehead. He vanishes. No more than ten seconds pass, and he returns, holding a dragonball ::

Garik: Where did you get that?

LL: The Vog'on have begun to collect them as well. I noticed this and tracked them down.

:: LL stares off in the distance ::

LL: I don't know which need is more imperative. To gather the dragonballs to further my mission, or to gather them simply to stop the Vog'on. Either way, my actions are clear.

:: LL turns to the other Jedi ::

LL: I know I cannot rely on you to help me in my quest, but at least you can understand the danger in the Vog'on gathering the Dragonballs.

Garik: Well, what will you do with them?

LL: There is only one thing in this universe that I need.

:: LL stares at the dragonball ::

LL: ....and that is Turbogeek Paladin. He is the final key. After that, the Jedi will finally bring balance to the Force.

[Firebird1]

The redirected lava, explodes on another part of the planet, covering an inoccent homestead in seconds.


*Meanwhile elsewhere on Tatooine....*
K9: Sir should be worried abput LL being a Force Being.
Firebird1: Not really, he will soon learn that wanting something is not as good as having it....

[JediBoricua]

::looks at Garik and LL::

JB-"Guyz and know it is nice to chat and all, but we have a real situation here. I'm going to check back to the Afrodisiako and see if she has some damage. Also I'm going to check if some messages where transfered"

Yog-"I will go to the cave to see if there are some vog'ons around"

GL-"I'll go with you"

JB-"Have a good one guyz, see you back in Dagobah, hopefully with DT's son"

[The Lounge Lizard]

You'll never succeed. NEVER!

:: LL powers up in a blinding light, and screams into the sky, with dragonball in hand....searching for the rest ::

Garik: What the Hell is his problem?

Boricua: He's got tunnel vision. Nothing except the prophesy concerns him. He's powerful...but I wonder about him, and his destiny...

Garik: Do you believe the prophesy.

Boricua: Yes. Absolutely. Its a foundation of the Jedi philosophy. However....there are so many ways to read it, and I only hope LL is right. He's taking a big chance.

[Firebird1]

*Suddenly a message capsule land amongst the three Jedi.*
LL's destiny is not a problem, it's how he will achieve it. With him being a Force Being, it means he has that much more power. Congradulations, you Jedi now have access to a Deathstar like power.

*on board the "Falling Star"*
K9: Sir, LL is still the planet, and there is still seizmic damage on Tatooine.
Firebird1: Lets follow him at a close distance, but stay outside his range of senseing us.
K9: But how, he'll find us for sure if we follow him.
*K9 suddenly falls to the ground after being switched off*
Firebird1: Since your too preocupied being a C3PO-like droid, I'd better finish this one on my own.





OT:I need to read this stuff closer, sorry about the edit.

[Vengence]

The Dark Eclipse comes out of lightspeed, and enters orbit around Tantoine. The tired warrior, weary from his trip, opens all communication frequencies, and tracing equipement in an effort to try to track Yoghurt down. As soon as all his equipment is online, he starts getting a wierd signal.

"What in the hell is that? It's like nothing I've ever picked up before. I've got to check this out."

He reaches over and begins tracking the signal, as he begins piloting his ship down to the scorching hot desert below.

[The Lounge Lizard]

Several days later:

:: LL throws a disfigured corpse of a Vog'on down, its shredded body flopping lifelessly onto a pile of his dead kinsmen. The Jedi survey's the scene...looking over the vast expanses of desert. Finally, his gaze shifts down...to the seven dragonballs that he now has ::

LL: (thinking) Excellent....the end is nigh. Soon, VERY SOON....it will all be finished.

:: LL arranges the dragonballs in a cluster, and stands over them ::

LL: NOW DRAGON, ARISE!!!! HEED MY CALL, GRANT MY WISH, I COMMAND YOU!!!!

:: The dragonballs begin to glow, and the sand of Tattooine begins to tremor violently. A massive flash blasts across the landscape, as a towering column of energy snakes its way through the blackening sky. A blinding aura expands, and dissipates...leaving an enormous dragon ::

ETERNAL DRAGON: yoouuu havvvee awaaakennned meee frrrom myyy slummmberrr....whaaat issss iiit youuuu wouuulllld commmand meeee tooo dooo?

LL: DRAGON, BRING THE ONE CALLED TURBOGEEK PALADIN TO THIS VERY PLACE!!

:: The Eternal Dragon's eyes flash, and then narrow in concentration ::

ETERNAL DRAGON: yooouuurrrr wiiishhhhhh haaasssss beeeennn grrrannnted.....I biiid theeee faarrrewweellll....

:: The dragon begins to brightly flash, and then disappears in a tremendous flash, sending the dragonballs scattering to the far reaches of the planet. LL looks down, and sees a child ::

LL: Its him...

[Shay Kaylon]

::Shay awoke suddenly, with a slight strange feeling in her heart::

Shay: Dt! Master DT, wake up!!

DT: (Groggily) Shay?? What's wrong?

Shay: Master DT, my brother's here, nearby, I know it! You have got to believe me!

DT: Are you sure, young one?

Shay: Yes, Master. And I fear something might happen to him.

DT: (Leaping gracfully to his feet) Let's go.

(The two jedi take off into the forest, heading towards the mountains)

[Master Yoghurt]

::Yog concentrated to sense the flow of Force. He received another vision. He could see Vengence, a Dark Warrior, and one or several concentrations in the Force. This concentration, was it LL allready? Was it Turbogeek Paladin? Speaking of Turbogeek, where was Darth Turbogeek? Yog could yet again hear the cries for help through the Force sensed earlier.. he finally decided what do do next. He drank from a bottle of water, and started walking into the unknown.. the sand twirled over the surface of the endless dessert..::

[Darth Turbogeek]

[ReaperFett]

had to post. One more topic, and this would have been gone FOR GOOD

[Master Yoghurt]

Well done. For a while, I was afraid this roleplay was allready lost. May I suggest an archive forum is established ASAP.

[ReaperFett]

Yeah. I only realised today that my fight one vs Ogre is now gone, as is my fight with Jedah. Now I am sad
