New Republic RP Episode II: Where Past and Present Collide

Vall: hmmmmmm
Vall was in deep thought
Vall: i wonder what will happen if the republic does send aid to the battle near Utapau, they might not even get there in time
Cora: sounds bad, maybe we should ask someone else, i know somone in sector 18 that can help us out.
Vall: sounds like they need help, you said you were a good pilot didnt you? It might be time to put those skills to use
Cora: Are you Crazy!!! i dont wanna get caught up in a struggle like that, Vall lets just leave
Vall: No, it wouldnt be right if i didnt help out a fellow jedi at a time like this, besides this will be a nice adventure for the both of us.
Cora: maybe for you, your a jedi, you've got the force, a lightsaber, if anything you'll probably enjoy all that action, all i've got is a blaster, ill probably get killed the moment i get out there
Vall: Well thinking like that will get you killed, thats for sure.
Cora: Listen Vall, all im saying is that this seems like a very dangerous mission, we could lose our lives, and why, for adventure?
Vall: no, because its the right thing to do
Cora: your forgetting im not a jedi
Vall: Why does it matter, in many ways, you are just as cable as a jedi.... i see strength where you do not, and you are very strong...... so are you with me or not?
There was silence between them
Cora: fine but if we get out of this, your gonna take me on a vacation somewhere.
Vall laughed
Vall: how about the beaches of Ithor
Cora: Perfect!!
Vall: Partners?
Vall extened his hand
Cora: partners

The 2 smiled and shook hands, afterwards they continued to look on as the discussion continued........

OOC: You're going after Hypori, not Utapau. I guess Hypori is closer to Coruscant than Utapau is.

((OOC: It seems to be that random people are roleplaying the Chancellor. Is it ok that I speak on her behalf? If not just ignore her words and continue the session I guess.))

Rhia looked over at the newcomer, and then at the small clock in her pod.

Well Admiral, we have done all that we can for now. Now that the motion is before the senate, I can continue to push for it without your help. It seems as if you have business elsewhere.

Rhia was slightly shaken at the newcomers words, reallizing just how serious the situation was. She turned towards the podium, entering a private message to the Supreme Chancellor:

It seems as though the Jedi must leave, Your Excellency. May I ask for the senate to be adjourned?

Rhia noted the slight nod of the Chancellors head, and turned back towards the Jedi.

Although extra troops may not be available, we can provide starfighters. If you need them, that is. Will you be going?

Temy (by PM): Thank you, Your Excellency. I guess starfighters will do for now. Since I had been called to Hypori, I will leave the Senate.

Temy waited for the hovering platform to dock in and then she left the Senate building.

Temy: Can anybody tell me where is the next ship for Hypori?

Bystander: The next ship for Hypori? You are a bounty hunter?

Temy: Yes, sir. I'm tracking an Imperial smuggler and the last HoloNet report indicates that he is fighting the New Republic on that planet or over it.

Darpan pulled out his control panel. He signalled to Luke. "Hello, Luke. The mission was a success. I was captured by an imperial ship on the way back, but I escaped with the help of a Jedi and senator. I'll need you to send over a starfighter. Any would be alright." As he turned it off, he unclipped his broken lightsaber. He took off the emmiter and removed the crystals. He threw the remains into a chasm, and walked back to the landing panel. Hours later, he saw a large cargo ship. It unloaded a new type of starfighter he'd never seen. The pilot got out and said "Darpan Nagaraj?" "Yes" Darpan responded. "This is a new starfighter. It was recently built, and Luke wanted you to have it. It's called a U/C-wing."

Bystander: The next ship for Hypori is 500 kilometers from here, in the warehouse sector.

Temy: I know of only one place who accepts ships to war zones within that range: the 742 Evergreen Palace.

Temy thought that the 742 Evergreen Palace was the place where she could find the ship for Hypori. But when she got there...

Temy: I'd like to buy a ticket for a ship bound to Hypori, please.

Ticket vendor: Look at the price of that ticket! I'm sure the imperial owner of that ship wouldn't mind to set the price of that business-class ticket as equal to a second-rate ticket.

Temy: Look, I'm a bounty hunter, and you're gonna sell me that ticket to the second-rate price.

Ticket vendor: You're a bounty hunter, and I'm going to sell you that ticket to the second-rate price.

Temy Force-stunned the ticket vendor and took the ticket away.

Walking out of the building.........

Cora: Wow that was intersting
Vall: we better find that jedi before , she leaves the planet
Cora: i think i saw her heading for the shuttle station
Vall: ok lets....
Vall was interupted by his comlink
Kyle: Whats up kid?
A smile came to Vall's face
Vall: Well, well long time no see
Kyle: yeah, it has been awhile hasnt it?
Vall: did you clear up that mess on Ord Mantell
Kyle: The damn hutt-slime lead me on a quite a bantha chase, but i got him eventually.
Vall: I didnt think nemodians were that pesky
Kyle: yeah, well apparently you havent met their royal bodyguards, fierce as Wookies, but dumber than gundarks
They both laughed
Cora: who are you talking to?
To Cora
Vall: a friend
Vall: So what do you need?
Kyle: well i was in the sector, and your signal poped up on my radar, figured I'd ask you instead of Jan, one of my old frieghtera is docked at an impound station, after they took it I never bothered to get it back, do you think you can take it out for me? Ill pay you back the credits later.
Vall: Ya know, i think i could do that for you, but instead of credits, do you think i could borrow it for a bit.
Kyle: Sure...... but what for?
Vall: Well i dont have a ship, and me and my friend need a way of this planet.
Kyle: ok, well ill see you at the academy, Ill upload the loaction of the impound station into your datapad it isnt far from where you are now, as a matter of fact its near the old Jedi Temple
Vall: Alright Katarn Ill get it done, Vall out
Cora: so whats the plan?
Vall: well we need to find her first then, we'll go get the ship.
Cora: hey there she is

the 2 ran over to the jedi......

Vall:......... you wont be needing that ticket, We can help you with your ship problem, me and my partner were watching the court session, and we want to help, if you come with us we can give you a ride off planet, to Hypori. Our ship is near the Jedi Temple.
Vall: Im Vall Dracus, and this my partner Cora Voan, were here to help............

Temy left that ticket, then took the next subway for the Jedi Temple.

OOC: you can use my characters for short dialog and conversations

Darpan jumped into his new ship. It sped off extremely swiftly, and landed in the Jedi temple. "Damn, that thing really kicks the HeadHunter's ass." He jumped out and walked in. As he walked by, many Jedi padawans ran over. "Are you a Jedi knight?" "Yes, I am." Darpan replied. "Will we be knights too someday?" Darpan looked at the crystals in his palm. "You just might." He walked off towards the crystal chambers.

Temy met a crowd of younglings.

Whie Malreaux: Aren't you a little bit too large to be a Jedi Knight?

Temy: No, sir. Jedi are Jedi regardless of the size.

Zett Jukassa (clone of the one who was killed in the Jedi Temple years ago): Will we be Jedi Knights someday?

Temy: If you don't die before the Trials, yes, you will.

walking out of the subway to the temple...........

She looked up at the temple
Cora: Cool
Vall: i like the academy on Yavin better, the order operates there.this is just another learning center, well actually the main one if you consider how much knowledge is in there.
Cora: hey vall, whats it like to have the force.
Vall: its pretty cool, its noisy depending on where you go, high force sensitive places are noisy as hell, its nerve racking.
He laughed
Cora: Noisy?
Vall: the force allows you to hear and do things, others cant. But, in some ways its a burden just as it is a gift.
Cora: shoot, if i had the ability to jump high, swing a lightsaber around, and lift things with my mind, the possiblites are endless
Vall: trust me, its way more complicated then that
Cora: you dont really sound like you appreciate the force
Vall: i do, dont get me wrong, i love it, but the responsibliy that comes with it... and all the twist and turns, (he sighed) its tiring....... honestly i dont how he does it.
Cora: who?
Vall: Luke Skywalker
She lit up with excitement
Cora: you know skywalker? no way, hes a legend
Vall: hes also a kind friend, ill take you to meet him one day.

They finally got to the temple.........

Cora:its big..... hey where you goin?
Vall: to the 3rd spire
Cora: whats there?
Vall: the closest equipement room is there
Cora: whats all this wrekage from, ive seen like 4 fallen pillars
Vall was silent
Vall: ill tell you later
Cora: tell me now, its obvious we have a way to walk
Vall sighed: a long time ago, a jedi knight betrayed the order, i dont know who it was, he dissappeared not long after, but he and thousands of clone troopers attacked the temple killing thousands of jedi, even younglings........ the temple was left in ruin, not long after, Darth Vader and the emperor appeared and the empire took over.
Cora: so thats what happend to the jedi?
Vall: yeah, and it was bad and it stayed that way for years, until skywalker came.
Cora: where did vader and the emperor come from?
Vall: im not sure, Luke told me, he was the jedi knight that betrayed the order, and luke also told me that, that same jedi is his father, as for the emperor, he was the chancellor of the republic, but is turns out he was a sith lord, but the story is longer and much more complicated
Cora: whats a sith lord?
Vall: ill tell you later
Cora: will you stop that
Vall: ok, ok, a sith lord is.........

they continued walking and talking.............

[Am I allowed to turn evil?]

When Darpan arrived at the crystal cave, he dropped his crystals at the entrance. "May the next padawan use these crystals." He said to himself. At the end of the cave, he saw something glimmer. He walked toward it, and looked down at the object. It was a lightsaber that had markings of the Sith on it. "These are..." "Sith markings..." a voice said.
Darpan looked around, and an elder emmerged. "Hello, young Jedi. I see you've found the Saber of Alypso..." Darpan looked at the saber closely. "Saber of Alypso?"

The elder stepped forward. "Yes. It belonged to a Sith lord called Darth Alypso millions of years ago... She was the most powerful Sith in her time, and she built this lightsaber using Sith energy. The energy was stored in these markings, and when she died, she incased all her power into the saber. Afraid that the power would overwhelm the universe, the old Jedi order buried it on this planet, I found it, and left it here, in hopes that a Jedi... would claim it and use its power for the ressurection of the Sith." Darpan stepped back. "And who are you?!" he raised his right arm, ready to defend himself with the Force. "I am but a mere elder. You can call me Sargii." Darpan replied "And you think I'm this Jedi? Why should I turn? I have no reason to join the Sith." Sargii looked at the saber. "But you do have reasons to gain almighty power... Take this saber, and use it to destroy the Jedi. Gain ultimate strength, and have no parallel in power." Darpan walked to the saber. "So... This saber will make me the strongest person in the world? And I will become lord of the Sith?" Sargii picked up the saber and gave it to Darpan. "Only if you have the will." Darpan took the saber from him and ignited it. A stream of blood red energy extended from the emmiter, and lit the cave. "Yes... I will use this power to become invincible..." Sargii smiled. "Then you will now be called... Darth Celstra..."

And then, a crewman employed by the Jedi Temple called out Temy on the PA to summon her to the hangar, as well as all other passengers to Hypori.

PA: Attention all passengers for the flight bound for Hypori, board immediately!

In the Equipment Room.......

Cora: your pretty muscular for somebody so skinny
Vall Sacasticaly: heh thanks alot
Cora: relax im just kidding
Vall: do you mind? im trying to put some gear on, no girls allowed
Cora: fine fine,
she walked out smiling, and looked back as he began to take off therest of his clothes
Vall: HEY!!!!!!!!
she laughed
Vall put on some gauntlets (like the one on anakin's robotic hand), sliped some brown pants and boots on, and put on a brownish/red poncho( like Qui Gon's in TPM, except different color) over his shirt and jacket. he grabbed a belt with a magnetic clip for his lightsaber. he ignited his lightsaber for a moment and started thinking. The room was lit up from the green saber.
Vall: wow ive had this one forever, and it still works like a charm, i should probably clean it one more time.
He withdrew his saber and walked out
Cora: finally, you take longer then i do to get dressed.
Vall: very funny, now lets grab the ship out of impound so we can go

At the impound station......

Vall: im picking up a ship for Kyle Katarn, heres the ship data
Droid: I am also going to need his ID for the transaction to occur
Vall gave the droid the data kyle sent him
Droid: one moment.............one moment........... everything appears to be in good order, please wait while one of the mechanics brings the ship out of the dock, it has been cleaned and repaired.
Vall: thank you
Cora: i hope we dont get killed, in space
Vall: what makes you think that?
Cora: did you hear them they said it was gonna be a space battle
im a good pilot, but ive never been shot it, flying through asteroids and being shot at in an open starfield are 2 diffrent things
Vall: you need more confidence, you'll be fine just stick close to me, and i promise you'll survive.
Cora: you make it sound so easy
Vall: there always a brighted side to look at
Droid: the ship is now ready for you
Vall: thank you, now lets go
Cora: nice ship

the 2 jumped in and flew back to the temple to pick up the other Jedi........

[I'm going to be calling him Celstra or Darth Celstra from now on, so remember, that's really Darpan.]

"Thank you, Sargii." Darth Celstra said "I will wear the title proudly. What shall I do first?" Sargii looked to the cave's entrance. "You won't be able to kill all of the Jedi in this temple... Or at least not now. I'll see if you truely have the skill to handle the Saber of Alypso. There are some Jedi outside of this cave. 4 of them. Take them out, and I will see if you are ready." "Very well, master." Darth Celstra left the cave and walked to the Jedi. "Umm, hello. Need somethin'?" Celstra ignited the saber. "I need you dead." He struck at one of the Jedi, and killede him. The other three ignited their saber and slashed at Celstra. Celstra blew through their attacks, with no relent. With all of his rage, he sliced off one's leg, and stabbed the other's chest. The last Jedi closed her eyes, and her lightsaber floated in the air. It started to slash at Celstra, and he managed to cut the hilt in half. Then he Force gripped her, and slammed her on the stone floor. Sargii emmerged from the cave. "Good, good, you are ready to learn the powers of the Dark Side... and the Saber of Alypso... Come, I will teach you the ways of the Sith..." Sargii lead Celstra back into the cave, and they trained for hours. When they were complete, they walked over to Celstra's U/C wing. "Now, go to your first mission. You must go to Hypori, and destroy the passangers on the ship that will be going there. After that, you must go to a tran station, and blow it up. The city there will also be annihalated, and you will escape." Celstra looked into the sky. "I will enjoy destroying everyone there with my new powers..." He got into his ship, and flew off.

At the Temple Hangar.........

Vall shouting: ok, ok come on, hurry up is that everybody?
he walked to the cockpit, Cora was setting evreything up
Vall: we good to go?
Cora: yup how many passengers we got?
Vall: 5 jedi and 2 mechanics
Cora: ok we should be to good to go,
On the intercom: evrebody strap your seatbelts on for take off
Cora: ok lets do it
the ship ignited its engines and flew off........

Cora: destination Hypori, put in the coordinates Vall
Vall: ok, punch it!

the ship took off into hyperspace.........

Cora: i put the ship on auto pilot until we get to Hypori, we can relax now
Vall: this ship is big, i wonder how kyle gotta hold of this one
Cora: yeah these are typically expensive.
Vall: Hypori is pretty far, we'll be in hyperspace for awhile

Cora walked over to a large window and looked out at the stars whizzing by so fast. she started thinking about the last time she went off-planet which was in, fact not since she lost her ship betting at the cantinas. she kept thinking about the adventure, and the life she had before, as a scout. Piloting was what she loved. Vall was sitting down talking with other jedi, then he looked over at Cora stading alone. he walked over
Vall: why arent you talking to anybody?
Cora: I dont know anbody, espcially not jedi
Vall: you could talk to the mechanics
Cora: they're working
Vall: you could talk to me
she was silent
Vall: whats wrong Cora, you seem like you have alot on your mind
Cora: im surprised you havent read my mind already
Vall: actually..........
Cora: i hate you
he laughed
Cora: whats so funny?
Vall: you are the biggest mystery to me
Cora: oh am i?
Vall: yeah you are but its ok, i like the company
she turned to the window
Cora: go away, i dont want to talk to you
Vall didnt move, he looked out the window
Vall: things feel so calm when your out in hyperspace, i like the feeling
She said calmly:ya know, you're pretty big mystery yourself........ theres so many things i want to ask you, i dont even know where to begin, and we've only known each other for about a week
Vall: well...... ask away
Cora: when you saved me, that actually meant alot to me. my parents are long gone, died fighting for the alliance. I was by myself, young too, very young, luckily i was smart, i taught myself how to survive, heh or so i thought, until you came.
Vall was silent
Cora:I dont know what its like to have a brother, somebody who always has your back, its just me, I always thought that they're was somebody out there who would come save me, who would be there every time i needed them. and here you are, you saved me, invited me to be your partner, and you promised to protect me. that means alot to me, more than you know Vall, more than you know.
Vall was speechless
Cora:if I could feel the force Vall for one second, i would use it to read your mind, like you did me, and dont think i dont know about that either, but i would..... theres so much about you and the Jedi Order itself, i find so intriging.
Cora: after this is over...........promise you wont leave me, i dont have a jedi order to go back to, no family, just that aparment back in the slums of courscant. you....... even after your done, you still have duties as a Jedi, a diplomat, you'll go all over the galaxy, me what will I do, where will i go next?
Vall: Cora..... I know your hurt inside, because your lonely, and everybody is gone, but i cant always be there for you, you have to find strength in yourself. My presence will not do that for you.........
she turned to him, a tear ran down her cheek
Cora: hold me

he embraced her, and for that moment, she felt safe inside.......

Temy: Attention all Jedi! We suspect that there is a Sith Lord chasing us!

Temy had a bad feeling about Darpan. He was on his way to Hypori too!
