*I don't answer immediatly instead I let a small force made hymm travel across the room* Can you hear that? It's called force tranquility. It's usually heard when the force is being moved from one area to another. Be it to another body, or a realm in it. To another planet or even galaxy!!! Those who can hear, stop to listen. It carries the weight of the universe and with it peace. *stands and the music stops, but still doesn't turn to face you* Tell me, why were you at the Telos mining station?
*Mantis stares at PoB*... *Mantis starts to hear PoB's voice fade into the darkness, then Mantis see's his homeworld being destroyed from a shuttle that took off moments before the world was obliterated*... *Mantis begins to hear PoB's voice again*... *Mantis then spoke*... I... I... thought I sensed person strong with the force there... Why do you want to know?

*Turns and walks before you waving his hand. As the hand passes through each wave a different image pops up, and disappears by each pass* It's a terrible history you know. Such one many people face, but few ever cover it the way you do. It is very saddening. My master was married, but full of the light side. His wife was once a sith, but never evil. It was amazing what each one saw in one another. My master was very wise. Like you, I was the son he never had. But not legitimately. It was sad when they died in the war though. Fought to the death they say, but I believe different. *Looks away while saying this. Then looks back to you* You best learn to control these images, let them not control you. Such actions whether they be of intention of not, all lead to the darkside...
*Mantis's begins to see darkness and the image of the room starts to fade*... *Mantis begins to remember the pilot of the shuttle starting to talk to him*... *Another flashback begins*... *The young Mantis begins to cry*... Where is my parents? *The pilot replies*... They... They died on the planet... When those monsters bombed the planet... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... *Mantis's begins to stare at the pilot enraged*... Why... Why didn't you wait for them... Why didn't you wait for them.... I hate you.... I hate you... I HATE YOU... *A weird power starts to surge through the young boy's body*... I hate you... *The young Mantis uses force lightning at the pilot knocking him unconscious*... What... What have I done... What's happening to me... *The tears intensify*... *All the people in the ship begin to move away from Mantis fearing he will hurt them*... *One person begins to move towards the young Mantis*... It's called the force... The power you used is called the force... *The child looks and sees a man in tattered robes walk towards him*... Stay away... I might hurt you... *The man begins to talk*... Don't worry, it's okay kid... Untamed but there is potential... *The man walks towards the pilot and uses this so called "force" to heal him*... I know how to use this power too... I can teach you how to use it if you want... *Young Mantis begins to speak*... Can it save people? *The man talks* Yes, yes it can... So kid what's your name? *The older Mantis begins to think*... What was my name... Mantis was a name I recieved when I was the dark lord of the sith... But what was my old name... *Mantis then speaks to the man*... What is yours? My name is Arias... I am a jedi... Soon you will be one too...

*Pulls you out of your transe* You must not become entangled by such images Mantis. There is a reason why your body hid those images so long ago. Why it is letting them out like it is, is a mystery as well as a danger. I can offer you two things:
1)Help you forever conceal these images
or
2)Reveal them all to you.
It is your decision. Choose wisely.

*Sighing, I return to sitting and meditating*
Sir, aren't you going to do something?
I just did computor. I made him collapse. I did this so that the images wont come as a surge, and be a problem to his mental realm. He will be fine, i'll be right here watching...
*While unconsciousness Mantis see's an other memory of the past*... *4 years after the bombing, the memory takes place in the jedi temple*... Master why did you become a jedi? I became a jedi because of the sith... What about the sith, master? They killed my brother... At first I wanted revenge... But after a while the light easied my pain.... Now I want to protect the ones that have no protector... To save the innocent from the darkness... To help those most in need... Do you understand? Yes master I understand... Did you ever kill the sith that did that to your brother? No, no I didn't... My father did that... Your father killed sith... How is that possible? Well let me tell you the story... I grew up on Tatooine as a young boy, I lived with my brother and my father at the time... My mother died when I was very young, I can't really remember her... The only thing I remember was her love... Well back to the story...
One day my father told me and my older brother that we couldn't go outside for there was a disturbance in anchorage... So we weren't allowed to go outside... So my father always took a nap around dusk... My brother and I sneeked out of the house and took two speeder bikes to go to an abandoned Krayt dragon cave which where we always hanged out around that time... Well let me recall what I said... Lets see... The conversation went like this.... *Young Arias began to talk to his brother at the edge of the cave*... Dad is going to be angry if he finds out we went out today without his permission... *The brother begins to talk*... Well that's why he's not going to find out... Guess what I found in dad's closet while he was asleep... *Arias talks*... What did you find... I found some hilt of a weapon, I never seen nothing like this before... Hey look a button... *Arias presses the button, A blade of light shot out of the hilt taking the shape of some type of sword*... Cool... Hey Arias... How would dad have a weapon like this? I don't know... *In the distance three vehicles can be heard approaching the two young boys*... What's that sound? "Arias said" I don't know, want to check it out? "His older brother Blake said"... No we should go home now... I can feel something telling me to go home... So can I.... *The two kids begin to walk back to the speeder bikes when three dark figures stand in their way*...
Excuse me... Can we get by... "Arias said"... "The three figures just stare at the boys and ignite other "lightswords"*... *Blake then ignites his father's saber and asks Arias to run away, Arias refuses, Blake then pushes his brother and talks to him with a serious tone*... Go now, get dad... He can probably help... Don't worry I can handle myself... *Arias then runs to a speeder bike when another figure appears infront of him*... *The figure than speaks*... Good, two humans to practice my skill with... *Ignites a red saber*... Die... *Right when a the figure was about to strike a blue saber went through the back of the darksider and came out the other side*... *The darksider fell to the floor with a hole in his torso, the blue saber returned to the wielder who was behind the darksider... It was his father*... Dad... Blake needs help he's being attacked... *The father spoke*... Stay here... *He began running towards the darksiders, they surrounded Blake and killed him*... *The body of his son was on the barren ground, He was stabbed by one of the sabers the darksiders used*... *The father began to cry and held his deceased son, he layed him on the floor and stood up*... *He stared at the darksiders, they ignited their sabers and then he ignited his*... *The darksiders lunged at his father thinking that was all they need to kill a simple man... They were wrong*... *The father slashed them with unparallel speed that which it could be compared to a god*...*The father picked up the dead body of his son and looked at Arias with sorrow within his eyes*... Why... Why must we suffer... Is it our destiny we must suffer... *Arias and his father began to walk home, that day was the beginning of the path which Arias took to become a jedi*... So that's what happened... I know it depressing but it was for the best... *Mantis asks a question*... What ever happened to your father?... *Mantis then wakes up from his realistic dream once again*... *Mantis awakens from unconsciousness and then speaks*... I know what I must do...

*Continues to meditate outside the body* Computor, this body is a little more powerful than I had anticipated. Go and get me the Guardians, *begins to pant* Speed is of the essence.
Yes, sir.
*Mantis tries to move his body, but is unable to*... *Mantis uses telepathy to communicate with Aegis*... Why is this happening now... You might be getting back the memory you have lost, and when all of it comes back... All of the teachings you have forgotten, all the lessons, all the memories will soon come back... Then you will strong again as you were many millenia ago... What... what do you mean by that? You'll find out as the memories keep coming in time... Well... Are you regaining memories you once lost? No... Not yet... But I will... I can feel the power I once had coming back to me... Soon my lost memories will come back soon as well... *The connection fades*... *With the connection fading, a new memory appears*...
*6 gaurdians come into the throne room. By now I am sweating buckets and pant profusly. I am at the point of fainting* Gentlmen...*pant pant* a little help please....*faints. Without a word 5 of the gaurdians begin to meditate around Mantis. The other one contacts the medical facility to bring a driod over.*
G1:This is incredible, computor how long has he been here?
about twelve hours and counting.
G2:My God. PoB has become more powerful than we had anticipated. To keep the fluxuation of memories as powerful as these inorder for twelve hours is incredible. Tell me he hasn't died?
*the person who called the medical facility, came and walked towards mantis* Nope, the Prince fainted and this little one is just unconscious. They are both very lucky.
G2: Indeed. *and with that the gaurdians begin to meditate and control th the images, just like PoB.*
*Meanwhile, Mantis uses astral projection to see Aegis in person*... Do you sense that? Something is disturbing the vessel... Yes what ever did that stopped my memory... What ever is doing that is preventing us from reaching full potential... It must be stopped... Yes, they should of just let it pass... Now, how are we going to stop them? Silence yourself feel the power around this area, together we can stop any foe.... And when we reach full potential... There is no being that could stop us... Understood... *Mantis and Aegis begin to meditate, Aegis starts to form a dark aura around himself and Mantis creates a light aura that surrounds his being*... *Their aura's increase with each passing moment*... *Now the aura's start to fuse together, first it was dark then there was light*... It's time... Lets go... After you... *Mantis and Aegis both teleport to the vessels mind*... *Mantis the wakes up, he the stands up*... *An dark and light aura begins to surround him, he speaks*... Leave now... Attend to PoB... If you try and stop me... There will be no mercy... *Mantis begins to leviate, he hovers above the ground moving towards the door*...

*all six of them use the force and pull him down.* You may be powerful, powerful enough to destroy us all. But once PoB recuperates you will know true power. We may die today, but we will die trying *each one whips out their lightsabers*. Mantis, for the good of this empire and PoB. We will not allow you to reach your full potential.
