Prologue/Chapter One

Star Wars: Perseverence
It is a dark time for the Republic as the Clone Wars shake the very foundations of the once proud democracy. Aware of the continued presence and influence of the Dark Side of the Force, members of the Jedi Council are shocked to discover that the Sith Lord, styling himself Darth Sidious, in their midsts is none other than Chancellor Palpatine himself.
Armed with knowledge given to them by the youngest member of the Council, Anakin Skywalker, four Jedi Masters led by Mace Windu confront the Chancellor in his offices on Coruscant. Just when it seems that they will prevail against the Sith, Master Mace Windu is betrayed by the very person that had brought the Council the news of the Sith Lord's identity, Anakin Skywalker.
Lured by the promise of the power to save the one he loves Anakin assists Darth Sidious in killing Master Windu and then apprentices himself to the Sith Lord, becoming Darth Vader. In a swift move to deal decisively with the Jedi, Sidious implements the secret Order 66 in the clone troopers and sends his apprentice, Darth Vader, at the head of an army of clone troopers to slaughter the younglings, Padawans, and few remaining Jedi in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant...

Jedi Temple
Main Atrium
Anakin Skywalker marched slowly, though determinedly, up the stairs leading into the Jedi Temple. There was no hesitation in his movement, nor was there any secrecy. It was difficult to be subtle when one was leading an entire division of crack Clone Troopers. The sound of so many pairs of boots always hitting the ground in unison could not have had any other affect than to be menacing and demoralizing. Surely, the Jedi inside knew that something big was coming... but how could they suspect that the mission of the Clones was to cleanse the Temple of its Jedi infestation?
Reaching out a hand, Anakin threw the main entry doors into the Temple open using a powerful force push. The sheer impact of the blow to the doors sent them reeling from their hinges and, as if on cue, the lead troopers broke into a run and began pouring into the newly created breach, the blue trim of their ARC Trooper armor flashing as they sprinted past Anakin and into the Temple like dogs being freshly loosed from a leash.
As if from nowhere, the first of the Temples defenders made their presence known. Where a moment before none had stood three forms suddenly appeared as if from nowhere. In the middle stood Master Cin Drallig, his right hand wrapped tightly around the hilt of his emerald lightsaber. To his left and right were a pair of Padawans, Whie Malreaux and Bene, their lightsabers likewise drawn and at the ready. Almost lazily, Master Drallig flicked out his hand and sent a ball of concentrated force energy at the lead ARC Trooper, blasting the clone from his feet to send him into the wall behind with bone shattering force.
"So, it's to be betrayal then, Skywalker," Master Drallig asked softly, arching an eyebrow in the direction of the newest Sith.
"The Jedi are the traitors, Master Drallig. It is they who were plotting against the Senate, and Master Windu himself who attempted to assassinate the Chancellor," Anakin snarled back, matching Master Drallig's calmness with a venom to equal it. "And now, you will all suffer the fate of traitors!"
"No!" The shout came from Whie who broke into a foolhardly sprint across the distance between Darth Vader and where the trio of defenders stood facing Vader and the ARC trooper clones rushing in.
"Whie, stop," Cin yelled, but it was too late to stop the Padawan as he sprinted out to meet Anakin.
As the Padawan neared Vader he hauled his emerald bladed lightsaber back with both hands, preparing for as powerful of a slashing attack as he could muster. Almost lazily, Anakin darted forward a few steps and thrust his own blade out into the opening created by Whie as the Padawan prepared to strike. An instant later the blue tip of Anakin's lightsaber blade was readily visible as it protruded from the back of Whie's garments. With a flick of his wrist, Anakin removed the foolish Padawan from the weapon and turned his attention back to Master Drallig and Bene.
"You see what happens to those that seek to overthrow the Senate," he roared, pointing at the body of Whie. As the short lived attack of the Padawan had been carried out the troopers had been forming a perimeter around the other two. "No," Anakin snarled, dismissing the ARC troopers with a gesture that inadvertently sent a few of them flying several feet. "These two are mine!"
As he finished speaking, Anakin extended his left hand with its fingers curled. As if on cue, Bene rose into the air, her blue lightsaber falling from her fingers as her feet left the ground. Her eyes bulged slightly as the airflow into her body was cut off by Vader's exercise of the Force. Too far away to reach Vader before the other Padawan was also dead, Master Drallig hurled a sphere of force energy in the direction of Vader. With a flick of his wrist, Skywalker deflected the ball of energy into the ceiling of the main atrium of the Temple. With a snarl, Anakin closed his fingers into a fist. Bene managed one last gasp before Vader opened his fingers and allowed the now lifeless form of the other Padawan to fall to the ground.
"And now, Master," Anakin said, spitting the last word distastefully from his mouth. "I shall deal with you as I have dealt with your students..."

Jedi Temple
Main Atrium
Master Keela Doret stood on a small terrace that was overlooking the main atrium of the Jedi Temple. She had both heard and felt the approach of the clone troopers and, while she feared what they might be there for, she was not ready to pass judgment on their purpose without being crystal clear as to why the clones were there.
From her perch she watched as Anakin Skywalker slew first one and then another of Master Drallig's students. The volume of his words allowed them to reach her even as far away from the scene of the battle as she was, and it was apparent that the Chosen One felt no remorse for his actions. "So, he has truly fallen then," she said to herself.
Spinning on her heel with a swish of robes the female Jedi Master knew what she had to do. Pushing open the door to the balcony where she had been meditating Keela disappeared into the hallways of the Temple. She knew that she needed to round up as many other Jedi as she could and flee from Coruscant. She had seen the numbers that Anakin had brought to the fight and she knew that there was no way for those few Jedi at the temple, and their Padawans and the younglings, to stand successfully against such numbers.
************************************************** ************************************************** ******************
Jedi Temple
Dormitory
One of the Jedi Order's newest Knights, Eld Harl, was pulled unceremoniously from his meditations in his room by the sound of blaster fire far below his window. Wondering who could be so bold as to stage a crime of some sort right outside the Jedi Temple itself, Eld stood from his place on the floor and moved to the open window. Sticking his orange head outside, he peered down. To his surprise, not that you could have told it from his face, he watched as several clone troopers surrounded and gunned down a Padawan in one of the Temple's many courtyards.
Drawing his lightsabers, Eld charged from his room. He was not sure what the clones attacking the Padawan could mean, but whatever it was it couldn't be good. As he entered the hallway the orange and navy lightsabers in his hands hummed to life and the Jedi began to make his way in the direction of the dormitory's central staircase so he could descend into the Temple proper to ascertain what exactly was going on. If he rounded up a few Padawans along the way, then so much the better.

Jedi Temple, Tek Nor's Chambers
The sound of blasters and screams of death tore Jedi Knight Tek Nor from his meditation. He pulled his lightsaber from his belt with the force and switched it on, the beam of black energy whipping out the end. He reached out with his mind and searched for who was attacking. He recoiled in shock as he saw the mind of Anikan Skywalker as he killed a group of younglings with his blade.
"NOOOOO!" He cried without thinking, giving away his position to a approaching patrol of ARC Troopers.
He was suddenly caught in a storm of blaster bolts. He deflected them off as best as he could, but several got through. He grunted in pain as he was hit in the shoulder, stomach, legs, and face. He opened a ventilation shaft in the ceiling and jumped into it.

[Dormitory]
Feeling restless, Mira moved from her perch where she had watched the colors of the setting sun, bathe the five spires of the Jedi Temple. Most times the view calmed her spirit and gave her solace, but tonight wasn't the case. She should have enjoyed how the red and gold tones painted the upper portion, then the pink changing into purple, before fading into the velvety dark blue of nightfall.
Something was on the edge of her mind as she sensed danger in the air. Where it came from, Mira didn't know until the sounds of blaster fire and cries of pain and sense of life ending, permeated the air. Hurrying towards the Dormitory area, Mira caught glimpses of Jedi and Padawans, as well as those who worked in the temple were cut down. Mira slipped into the dormitory to check on things there.

Jedi Temple
Main Atrium
"And now we shall see if you're a better swordsman than your students, Master Drallig," Anakin sneered, his blue blade sweeping down towards Master Drallig. Drallig reacted impulsively, lifting his own emerald colored saber up to parry the blow while summoning the another green lightsaber from the ground with his left hand through the Force. As the weapon of the fallen Padawan Whie reached his fingers it ignited and Master Drallig attempted to smash a powerful overhanded blow into Anakin.
Too quickly, Anakin pulled back from his attack and used the Force to push Drallig back while parrying the Master's attack with his own lightsaber. Caught unaware, Drallig was forced back several feet and Anakin took the opportunity to reach out through the Force and pluck the blue saber from the ground that had belonged to Bene.
"You always were a fine swordsman, Master Drallig... now we shall finally see who is the best," Anakin said, beginning to circle slowly to the right the twin blue sabers in his hands flashing and humming.
For several minutes Master Drallig waged a furious battle against Anakin Skywalker. But in the end, Drallig could see that the battle was a fruitless endeavor which he could not win. The pair of them were two of the finest swordsmen in the entire Order and between them they were wielding four separate lightsabers. Despite his own considerable skill in the soresu form of combat Master Drallig was only being able to hold back his powerful foe. In time, he knew, he would tire and fall to Anakin's blades, of that fact Master Drallig was certain.
While Master Drallig harbored no illusions that he would be able to defeat Anakin by himself, he knew that his skills were at least sufficient enough to, perhaps, hold off the newest Sith long enough for some in the Temple to escape.
A course of action decided upon, Master Drallig flicked out his hand and sent a small ball of energy in the direction of Anakin's body. He didn't think it would hit the Sith, but then again that was not the point of the attack. As Skywalker batted the blast of energy aside with a sneer a second and much more powerful ball of energy slammed into the ground at his feet. Caught unawares, Darth Vader was hurled several feet backwards, though he landed on his feet through the Force.
Few words were exchanged between Anakin and Cin as they dueled furiously in the main atrium of the Temple. In truth, Anakin was mildly surprised that he was having so much trouble in dealing with the pesky swordsman. Twice Anakin's blue blades had come perilously close to scoring a killing blow on Master Drallig only to be turned away at the very last instant by Cin.
Slowly the two Jedi circled one another in what was becoming a well-worn circle on the atrium floor. Once in awhile one or the other of the two men would feint in to test the defenses of his opponent before withdrawing. Given his extensive knowledge of lightsaber combat Master Drallig had adopted an interesting mix of Jar'Kai and Soresu and so far it had proven successful in delaying Anakin Skywalker from getting past him and further into the Temple proper.
With the suddenness of an attacking gundark, Anakin leaped high into the air using the Force. Seeing the move, Master Drallig attempted to back away from Anakin in an attempt to keep the newest Sith in front of him. As Anakin came down he brought one of his blue blades crashing into the raised defenses of Master Drallig who had formed an X in the air with his emerald lightsabers to catch and deflect the attack. Seeing what could be one of the only openings in Drallig's defenses that he was likely to get, Anakin quickly slipped the blade in his off hand under the defenses of Master Drallig, the cerulean blade lancing through the throat of the Jedi Master who collapsed to the ground, the lightsabers in his hands deactivating as they rolled from his now lifeless fingers. Deactivating the blade that he had used to kill Master Drallig, Anakin flung it down unceremoniously upon the corpse of the now dead blade master.
With the pesky obstacle finally removed from his path, Anakin headed in the direction of his next stop in the Temple, the Jedi Council chambers. He knew that the younglings had been trained to go to those chambers if something like this every happened and it would be easy to quickly dispatch several of them in those chambers in a short period of time. It was easy for Anakin to reach the chambers relatively unimpeded since the Clones obviously weren't shooting at him, and most of the elder Jedi would not expect their attackers to head for the most likely empty chambers right away.
As Anakin entered the council chambers one of the younglings in there approached what he thought was a friend. "Master Skywalker," the youngling began. "There's too many of them, what are we to do."
Choosing to offer no answer, Anakin activated his own lightsaber and cleanly bisected the head of the youngling that had asked the question. Too late the children realized that Master Skywalker was not there to help them. But, since none of them had yet reached a point in their training where they would have constructed a lightsaber they could offer very little in the way of defense other than terrified cries and pleas that he spare their lives. Pleas that went ignored as Anakin moved methodically around the room butchering the younglings where they stood, or in most cases, cowered before him unable to escape. When he had completed the grisly task Anakin departed from the Council Chambers along the route that would take him most quickly to the Dormitories where the younglings were housed. After all, in order to ensure that a nest of gundarks was cleansed the young had to be dealt with first.
Jedi Temple
Youngling Dormitory
Cazak was taking a nap while waiting for his Master. He had learned to conserve energy this way, and hoped to learn the hibernation skill. But his sleep was uneasy. He had dreams of screaming, of betrayal, of all he held dear destroyed. He woke up, panting, heaving great breaths. He looked at the other younglings, his friends. They seemed all right. All seemed peaceful. But by a sense beyond sense, he knew it was not so, and he felt the overpowering urge to run and hide.
"Go! Hide! Enemies are coming!" he chattered. Most of them laughed at him. "Cazak's jumping at shadows again!" one said. But Cazak couldnn't wait. He leaped up, opening a ventilation shaft, then closing it behind him. As he scurried down the shaft, he heard sounds of explosions. Then he paused. He heard one of his closest friends say "Master Skywalker..." His ears perked up, and he turned to go back. Surely his role model, his hero, would find a way to make sense of it. But then, a voice sounded in his head, a familiar one. Don't go there, young Cazak. All depends upon it. RUN! He obeyed, and ran. This guide had never steered him wrong. But as he did, the world stood still, and he felt it. Many voices crying out in horror, only to be extinguished one by one. Feelings of betrayal. Of...Anny?
He caught his breath. For several tense moments, he waited, and listened. Then it ceased. He turned back, the scream frozen in his throat, refusing to let loose.
He came to the grate, only to see what defied his belief. His hero, Anakin Skywalker, killing the last youngling in the room, then leaving. It couldn't be! That nightmare was coming true, and he was in the middle of the hideous scene. He lay there in shock. Then, he opened the grate. All was silence. All of his friends lay on the floor, dead, killed by the ligtsaber of his hero. He stood, numb, then tears flowed down his furry face. Anger rose up at this betrayal. How could he?
He stepped out of the room and into the hall. Jedi, Padawan youngling lay there dead. Was he the only one? Nearby, a dead Jedi lay there, his lightsaber rolled out of his hand. Cazak picked it up and tuurned it on. He wanted to turn it on himself to end this pain, but he couldn't. If he was truly the last, he owed it to the dead to continue the battle. Raising the lightsaber in his hand, bathed in its crimson light, he made a vow. "This is for all of you. I will carry your memories with me. I will become a Jedi, and avenge you all. By all I hold dear, I swear it!"
Cazak, as young as he was, as inexperienced, didn't know the deadly peril he was in, nor how close he was to slipping over to the Dark Side himself, as Anakin had done. He lowered the lightsaber and tightly closed his eyes, tears still streaming down his face. Yet a determination was on his countenance.
He didn't know another Jedi heard him and saw him, and knew his peril. One destined to be his master. But would that Master be in time?

Jedi Temple
Jedi Archives
Arali wandered around the Jedi Archives in a mostly aimless fashion, her garments making a soft swishing sound as she moved between work stations, shelves crammed with books and holocrons, and the occasional statue. Part of now being one of the apprentices to Master Nu was that the Twi'leki Padawan was having to acquaint herself far more intimately with the Jedi Archives than she ever had in the past as Master Gallia's pupil. Of course, the days of gallivanting off from one corner of the galaxy to the other had ended when Master Gallia had been killed during the Battle of Boz Pity. On returning to Coruscant, Arali had found herself becoming one of the Padawans to Master Nu and, in truth, Arali was not overly troubled by the fact that a great deal of her time was now spent in the Archives.
The green-skinned Twi'lek was pulled from her musings by the very audible sound of the massive doors that led into the Archives slamming shut and then, surprisingly, locking themselves. It was very odd for Master Nu to be closing and locking down the Archives at this time of the day, it wasn't much past mid-afternoon. "Padawan Returyl," the voice of Jocasta Nu barked over the echos of the doors closing reverberating around the Archives. "I need you at once!"
If the doors closing at this time of day was odd, the fact that Master Nu was shouting through the Archives was an even bigger shock. Truthfully, Arali had possessed some doubts that Master Nu could speak much above a loud stage whisper. "Coming," Arali called, raising her own voice to call back. Master Nu couldn't be too mad about her yelling in the Archive, after all the Master had done it first.
Quickly, Arali darted through the Archives in the direction of Master Nu's voice and within a moment she stopped before her Master who was standing in the midst of a small crowd of Padawans and a few Jedi Knights. Both Master Nu and the assembled Knights had their lightsabers drawn, the various colored blades humming softly. Instantly, the Padawan could sense that something was wrong. "What is it Master," she asked.
"We're not sure," Jocasta replied, indicating herself and the other members of the Jedi Order that had their lightsabers drawn. "But something is very wrong."
Master Nu's words were underscored by sounds that could be heard coming from the other side of the doors. One of those sounds was the unmistakable sound of AT-RT walker feet on coming towards the Archive doors, another was the clear sound of blaster fire. The noise was enough that the Padawans all had their weapons up and at the ready, including Arali who abhorred having to use her guard shotos in any fashion.

Faaral, who was busy at a terminal yelped as it cut off her access, at the same time the loud THUNK of the doors being closed.
She stood up and made her way to the sounds of the others gathering, the yelling made her quicken her step.
Keeping her mouth shut--For Once--,she picked up the information, drawing her hood back from her head allowed her to see better,
the Padawan braid dangling from the side of her head as she drew and activated her lightsaber, the golden glow silhouetting her orange fur.
"that door is not going to hold for long. we have got to get out of here" she commented as the sounds grew louder, stating what was apparently the obvious judging by the looks she received from the quip

Corridors
Cazak stood there, drowned in his grief over his lost friends, of all he held dear. The poor Chikar would have to grow up faster than he had desired, he still had a lot of childhood to live, but it was now gone past recall, thanks to Master Skywalker.
He opened his eyes and took the weapons belt from the dead Jedi and adjusted it to his size, attatching the light saber to it. "Forgive me, my master. I will bear it in your honor."
Cazak took one last look behind at the carnage left by the one who had murdered his friends. Another surge of anger took him, and a nearby vase shattered. "I will destroy him if it is the last thing I do." he grumbled. He was lucky he didn't meet him, as it would have been the last thing he did. He still didn't know how closely he was flirting with the Dark Side, but already, there were subtle voices enticing him to give into his anger, only then would he be powerful enough to destroy the one who had done this.
He left the hallway and went in search of anybody who could help him. He hoped his master was alive. He jumped up and re-entered the ventilation shafts. He was a born navigator, and was one who wouldn't get lost in the maze of tunnels. He had often played hide-and-seek in this manner. He still felt the shock of those who were still fighting and dying at the hands of the clones or of Darth...whoever it was. It was not his friend and hero anymore.
He went as quiet as the rodent he was. His feelings were searching out for any who could help him. Then he paused at a grate and saw Master Doret. She would know what to do, unless she had gone mad like Master Skywalker had. He dropped down. "Master, I have terrible news for you. Master Skywalker has gone mad and killed all my friends. I alone escaped, as far as I know." He gritted his teeth. "I swore to avenge them. That...thing...won't get away with it. He betrayed us all!" Another surge of anger went through him and receded like a wave.
Only Master Doret would be able to keep poor Cazak from making that fatal step towards the Dark Side, but it would take all her skill. He was closer to falling than he knew. He burst into tears again. His emotions were in chaos, despite all his training by Master Yoda. They were swinging between anger, sorrow, and multiple others.

Hallway Near Main Atrium
"Cazak," Master Doret said in a soft soothing tone, "where did you get that lightsaber?" Deftly the Master reached out with the Force and gently plucked the lightsaber from the youngling, who certainly had no business wielding such a weapon. "You cannot have such things," she said soothingly to the child, attaching the blade to her own belt.
Once the lightsaber had been secured Master Doret knelt next to the youngling, so she would be on his level, grateful that the Clones had not yet penetrated into this particular hallway. No doubt they had other, more pressing, targets that they were going to be dealing with. Keela was also well aware that Cazak had followed Anakin around, as had many of the younglings who had idolized the youngest member of the Jedi Council.
"Anakin Skywalker is dead," Master Doret told the youngling in what she hoped was a soothing tone. "He has fallen to the Dark Side of the Force, so the Jedi we knew as Anakin Skywalker is no longer living. He has died. But, we must not allow ourselves to give in to our own feelings of anger, fear, and hate. If we do we will become that which has destroyed him." Master Doret finished speaking and stood up. "Now come Cazak, we must go to the dormitories and see if there are yet any survivors. We will be leaving the Temple for a new home. Perhaps there will be others, perhaps just we two. Come along."

Jedi Temple
Headed in the Direction of the Dormitory
A twinge of resentment went through Cazak when Doret took the lightsaber from him. "I do not understand, Master." said Cazak as he walked beside Doret. "And I picked up the lightsaber from Goloft, who had been killed. I gave my word I would use it in his honor, to avenge him and the others who had been killed by Anny. I cannot go back on my word, I swore an oath."
He was still young, and not in control of his feelings. Grief was great within him. His former hero must be destroyed for what he did.
"I am glad you at least are still alive. I thought I was all alone. I had to do what I can, and I do want to help. By all that I hold dear, I will become a Jedi, and will avenge those that have been killed." His face was still wet with his tears. He repeated his oath that he had spoken earlier.
But he padded along beside the Master on the way back to the dormitories, his ears perked up and sniffing for any signs of life, as well as feeling for any. It would take some effort, however, to draw him back from the brink that he was near.
He saw Master Mira Star in the distance, sensing her before he saw her. She would help, he hoped, and not hinder him. And still those enticing voices urging him to give in to his anger, to hate, despite what Master Doret had told him ,whispered to him. Only then would he be powerful enough to destroy the traitor, they said. His will was uncorrupted still, he didn't yet obey these voices, but poisonous shapes were beginning to form in his imagination.

Tek grunted in agony as he dragged himself through the ventilation shaft. He'd been hit multiple times. If he was dealing with anything other then blaster wounds, he would have bled to death by now. He heard the hum of lightsabers and the whisper of voices below and decided to take his chances. As far as he knew Anikan was the only Jedi who had turned to the dark side, so the odds were in his favor and he needed medical assistance.
He unbolted the grate with the force, and dropped through landing with a loud crash as one of the many desks in the Jedi Archives broke his fall (and it felt like his back too.)
"Oooooaf!" he grunted.

Arali wasn't alone as she spun, her guard shotos at the ready, at the sound of first a grate and then a Nautolan wearing clothing that indicated that he was a Jedi Knight. "By the goddess," Arali breathed in shock as the Jedi crushed one of the study desks when he landed on it. Immediately several of the Padawans and Vokara Che crossed to the man.
"Back up," Che snapped, roughly shifting one of the Padawans out of the way. The Twi'lek Jedi knelt at Tek's side and reached out through the Force to probe his injuries. "You should be dead," she said brusquely to the downed Jedi as the sounds of the ARC troopers trying to blast through the heavy doors of the Archives.
Behind Vokara several of the Padwans began to murmur amongst themselves, their voices rising to a troubled buzz behind the Jedi Healer. "I said quiet," she snapped waspishly at the Padawans. "Go to Master Nu, she will give you instruction."
Arali shrugged and headed back in the direction of the other Jedi along with the Padawans that had run to check on Tek, leaving the Temple's Chief Healer to see to the Jedi, who's name she was unfamiliar with. Deactivating her shotos, Arali re-clipped them to her belt and quietly wondered where her sparring partner Maris Brood was. After all, Master Shaak Ti was at the Temple right now. No doubt Maris was with her Master.
Once the Padawans had dispersed and left Vokara in relative quiet she returned to her examination of Tek. "You do, of course, realize there's no time to do a complete healing. But, we can't leave you like this either," she said, tsking at the Nautolan. "You will not be fighting here anymore," she continued, starting to dump Force energy into Tek. It wouldn't be a complete healing, but it would be enough that he could run and lead the Padawans, hopefully out of the Temple. "Whatever Master Nu decides to do with the Padawans, you will do also. They will need a leader to complete their training."
Once Vokara had done as much as she could in the little time she had she leaned back slightly and the patted one of the blaster burns on Tek's body. No doubt, that would cause him some pain but the Twi'leki woman wanted to make sure that the Jedi Knight got the right message. "Now, get over there and listen to Master Nu." Standing, Vokara returned to the group of Jedi standing near the doors as the sounds of blaster fire intensified.
"Master! I don't know how much longer we can hold these doors," one of the handful of Jedi Knights standing near the Archive Entrance yelled out.
"Padawans, over here," Master Nu said in an authoritative and no nonsense tone, a tone that Arali had heard her use many times before. Quickly the Jedi students gathered around Master Nu. "As you can all tell, quite clearly, the Temple is under attack. When those doors," she gestured to the Archive doors, "give way, these Archives are going to be turned into a war zone. Arali," she snapped, turning to her Apprentice. "You are to lead the Padawans out through the back way that we use to navigate through the Archives. It should be relatively free of enemies. You will make your way to the Hanger Bay and flee via a roundabout path to the Cyax System. Have you read those files on Hutt Space like I instructed you to?"
Arali nodded dutifully. "Yes Master, I believe I know where you wish for us to go," she replied softly.
"Good, once things are settled at the Temple I will contact you to return to the Temple. Is that understood," Nu asked, looking around at the Padawans. They nodded their assent. "Good, I and the other senior Jedi will hold the attackers off while you escape."

Entering the Dormitory
Keela felt Cazak's flash of anger when she took the saber from him, yet another justification for her to have done so in her mind. She was, however, pleased that the boy seemed to quash it relatively quickly. "Vengeance is a path to the Dark Side of the Force. Would Goloft wish for you to turn to the Dark Side," she asked, continuing to lead him in the direction of the dormitories.
As they neared the dormitories, through a back route, Keela was pleased to see that the ARC troopers had still not yet found their way into the side passages. "If you would use the weapon for vengeance, that is one more reason you should not have it. When you have been taught to properly use a lightsaber and have constructed your own then we shall see about you having Goloft's blade, not before," the Master continued in a tone that brokered that there would be no arguing on this point.
Arriving at the Dormitory Keela led Cazak inside and followed the ripples through the Force until she came upon Master Star. "Master Star, are there any other survivors," Keela asked, skipping the pleasantries and getting right to the heart of the matter.

[Dormitory]
Mira had just gone down to her knees, looking under one of the beds when she sensed the presence of two other individuals. She popped her head up to see who else was with Keela. It was the chetik youngling, Cazak.
"I've got one that I'm trying to coax out from under the bed." Mira replied, then popped back down.
"Look Dobby, you need to come out of there; it is time to leave immediately!" she said with great urgency.
The gran youngling looked at Master Star, curled up into a small ball. "Time to go? Do I get to go home?" she asked, her three bright eyes shining from the reflected light under the bed.
Mira shook her head, "No, not at the moment Dobby, we've got to leave here and find a new home. Cazak is here with Master Doret."
"Cazak is here?" with that, Dobby was out from under the bed and running over to Cazak's side.
Standing up from her crouched position, Mira reported "I came across Dobby while searching for those not caught in the devastation."
Mira looked down at Cazak, feeling the war of emotions within him, so much for a young one to have seen.

Jedi Temple
Dormitory
S'yndar was traversing through one of the myriad halls of the Jedi Temple as he often did after his lessons with his master. His master had cut the lessons short for some reason and sent the young Vurk on his way.
S'yndar didn't ask him for any reason as to why he was dismissed and he took it in stride. After all, there was something he wanted to go see in the Atrium. As the padawan went to go near the atrium something flashed off to his left from a window that over looked the Atrium. To his dismay, S'yndar saw the murderous mayhem that was beseiging his comrades, being cut down by blaster fire.
S'yndar caught some motion from behind and noticed his master going down a passageway. Moving quickly S'yndar followed only to feel himself shoved back as his master went into attack hold back clone troopers who were coming up the stairways. He felt in his mind a warning from his master.
"Get to the dormitories grab your stuff and run!" was the urgent message.
S'yndar obeyed and went through a side passage which led to the other stairs leading up to the dorms. He noticed Eld Harl the newest Jedi Knight coming down the stairs his lightsabers ignited.
"There is trouble afoot in the temple" S'yndar stated, his own lightsaber at the ready. "My master told me that I needed to grab my gear and go."

Faaral nodded then thought for a moment "i have a bad feeling" she said
Picking up a data crystal she went to a terminal and hit a few keys, bringing it back online on the local level, the archive itself, the holonet was cut off, she then inserted the data crystal and did a memory transfer, dumping files of training and history onto it, making out its memory capasity, pulling the crystal out again she wrapped it up in cloth and put it inside a pocket of her robes, making her way back to the group and following behind Arali.
"you really think we will ever be able to return to the Temple? they are doing their best it seems to kill us all, they are not going to leave this place intact i think...." she said

Cazak was glad to see Master Star. At least she would understand his need to help. The other Master was only interested in rules, he felt. Didn't he realize these were desperate times, and required desperate measures? And breaking his word was unthinkable. But he kept these thoughts to himself. But then he saw beyond hope, Dobby coming out from under the bed, running to him. "DOBBY, YOU'RE ALIVE!" he cried and ran to her, hugging the stuffing out of her. "I thought Master Skywalker killed all of you. It's horrible. He turned traitor and..." Another wave of anger went through him, and two more vases nearby shattered. The wave receded once more, and he burst into tears. "...and he was my hero, why did he do that. I swear I won't lose you. I'll protect you, I'll protect you all." The wave of anger that had receded was stronger, a harbinger of things to come, and they would get stronger yet. If Master Star didn't do something soon, they would become a tsunami which would engulf poor Cazak.
He was unaware of what he had just done, until he saw the shards on the floor, and he was frightened. "What was that?" he whispered. A dark, seductive voice sounded in his mind. It's your destiny, young Cazak. Give in to it, and you will make them pay for their dirty work. But another voice sounded, his guide who had faithfully led him. Don't listen, Cazak. Yes, that is how it would begin, but it would not end with that. It is the way to the Dark Side.
He protested to nobody in particular, "But I'm just a kid!" He looked to Master Star, hoping she would help him. "I'm sorry, Dobby, it's just something I need to work out." Yet that feeling he had for a fraction of a second felt good in a way. That thought frightened him, and he wanted to crawl under the bed himself and not come out, like Dobby had done. "We need to stick together, and maybe we can help the grownups."

Tek hoisted himself into a sitting position, grunting in pain. That got him a sharp look from Vokara. He mouthed sorry and winced as he got to his feet in silence. He drew his lightsaber from his belt and reactivated it.
Nervously, he twirled his blade in a circle beside him. The low hum it made as it moved distracted him from the madness that was occurring. A Sith Lord in the galactic senate, Anikan (the chosen one!) falling to the Dark Side, the clones turning against the Jedi. What in the galaxy's name was going on!

"There is trouble afoot in the temple" S'yndar stated, his own lightsaber at the ready. "My master told me that I needed to grab my gear and go."
"Clones have attacked the Temple," the Kel Dor stated succinctly. "If you require no further gear beyond your lightsaber and robes I suggest we make our way to the lower levels of the Dormitories. I can feel the presence of Masters Doret and Star. If you require anything from your rooms gather it and meet us at the side stair exit nearest to the hanger bay," Eld continued, issuing orders to the Padawan. Even though S'yndar was not his student, as the Kel Dor had yet to take a Padawan, there was still the fact that as a Jedi Knight Eld outranked S'yndar in the grand scheme of things so the young Vurk should listen.
Sliding past S'yndar on the stairs the Kel Dor made his way down to the ground level and followed his senses, and the voices, until he at last came upon the group in question. "Masters, are there any other survivors," he asked, looking between the two Masters and the two Younglings.
"For the moment, there are still many in the Temple... I still sense the presence of Masters Nu, Piell, and Shaak Ti, though they are elsewhere pursuing their own agendas in the crisis. For now, our path is clear. We must make our way to the Hanger and escape," Keela replied, Eld's entrance interrupting what she had been about to say to Cazak regarding the youngling's outburst.
Eld nodded in agreement. "Padawan S'yndar is gathering some gear, I've instructed him to meet us down here."

"Where do you think you're going," Vokara snapped at Tek as he reactivated his lightsaber. "I already told you to go with the Padawans and it wasn't a polite suggestion," the Twi'leki healer continued, pointing a finger in the direction of the retreating Padawans as they made their way towards the back of the Archives. "Go on, NOW!"

"You really think we will ever be able to return to the Temple? They are doing their best it seems to kill us all, they are not going to leave this place intact I think..."
"It's hard to say," Arali replied nervously, leading the group quickly to the back of the Archives and to a nondescript door hidden in a small alcove. "Come, this way," the green skinned Twi'leki girl said, pushing the door open and slipping through.

Tek reluctantly deactivated his weapon and hung it back on his belt, before retreating along with the Padawans. He didn't want to leave his home, the only one he remembered, and his comrades, but Vokara was right. He was being short sighted. The young inexperienced Padawans would need guidance. The coming days were going to be difficult and it would be easy after seeing the atrocities of the day for the undisciplined to fall prey to the dark side. That was the last thing that was needed now.
"Come!" he shouted to a Padawan who was lagging behind.
The Wookie turned and nodded before running to catch up with the rest of the fleeing Jedi.

"The hangar?" said Cazak, looking up hopefully. "We're leaving to find a new home as you said? I can help, Masters. You know I can navigate, and find my way in impossible situations. Even through an asteroid belt." He looked down. If he wasn't all furry, he would be as red as a beet. "Please don't think I'm bragging. At least I can do that if I can't fight." But he knew he could do that too,if they gave him a chance.

Hidden Passage
Jedi Temple
after Faaral ducked into the passage way she looked around and sniffed the air, using more conventional means in the lieu of force talents as she could feel the Fallen Chosen one reaching out and sensing for them. pausing she held out one hand.
"at least 12 cloneies just outside this passage in the corridor outside. also it would be a good idea not to use the Force at this time...can't you feel Him reaching out like a scanner for us?"
she looked around at the frightened Padawans "i know its not my place to lead, but all i know is that using the force would be like sending out signal flares...lets not use it unless we have to."
she kept moving to place as much room between them and the archives as possible.

Main Hangar
Resquar was busy tuning up one of the ships, her pride and joy. They'd see what she was capable of, keeping these babies in line. Let the others of her kind contemplate the life cycle and love life of the Koranian fruit fly. Boooooring! Life was too exciting to worry about such things. She didn't know just how exciting it would become when the distant sound of explosions and blaster fire met her ears.
"What the krepzat?!?" she exclaimed. "What have those crazy Jedi concocted this time? Just when I'm run off my feet. " But she looked out, feeling for her blaster to make sure. She wasn't in the pay of the Jedi for nothing. And if things were going down, they'd need a quick getaway.

Tek nodded his agreement with the Padawan. He signaled for them to stay back as he ventured forward to recon the trooper patrol. He drew his lightsaber from his belt and flicked it on, the black blade leaping from the metallic handle. This got the clones attention as they opened fire on the lone Jedi Knight. He deflected their blasts back at them as one by one they fell. Tek Nor sliced his weapon through the air with lightening speed and expert precision. Finally only a few were left as they began retreating down the passageway.
"Come on. No doubt they will be reporting our position back to Skywalker. We must hurry"

OOC: No worries Faaral. Tek, don't take this post the wrong way your post was fine, Arali is just very much a pacifist.
Jedi Temple
Near the Main Hanger
Arali stopped when Faaral indicated that the group should stop and listened as the other Padawan talked about what she sensed. The Twi'leki girl might have been able to lead the group around the ARC troopers, but the Jedi Knight that was with them had passed them and then attacked the group. So much for trying to sneak by them and avoid the conflict.
Within a few moments the Nautolan Jedi had dispatched most of the clones and the others were beating a hasty retreat. No doubt, as Tek had pointed out, they were signaling for back-up as they retreated up the corridor in the direction of the Hanger.
"Well, let's go. No point in hanging around here," the green-skinned Padawan said, leading the group quickly up the hall. As they neared the last corner before they would come into sight of the main entrance into the Hanger Bay Arali slowed and then stopped, signaling the others to do the same.
Quickly, she poked her head around the corner and looked in the direction of the entrance before pulling her head back. "They've got a small battalion there," she hissed to the others in a low town. "A pair of AT-PT's and at least 50 ARCs." She looked around the group and did a quick head count. One Jedi Knight and three Padawans, one of whom was not a great swordsman and another that would probably be an easy target thanks to his size. After all, Wookies weren't known as one of the shorter races in the galaxy. "We need a plan."

Mira watched in silence as Cazak embraced the gran youngling and things shattering with his release of emotions.
Dobby looked up at Cazak, "You are upset and that's not good." she said.
Mira looked at Cazak at his eagerness to help. "Patience young one you'll be able to prove yourself as time goes by.
Looking over to Keela, "I do agree that we need to make our way to the hangar and hopefully link up with others who will find their way."
Jedi Temple

S'yndar looked at Eld and nodded,moving to get his gear. On the way out of his room the padawan wondered about his master and how he was doing. His wondering didn't last long as he saw his master running down the hall then turning to deflect blaster bolts.
"S'yndar why are you still here?" his master's voice came into his mind.
"I just got my gear, master." S'yndar responded. "Master lookout!" as he saw another clone trooper pop up from a side passage way and shot towards the two Jedi. Soon others were joining up in the hall with the others. The hall filling with blaster fire.
His master turned into a whirling dervish, deflecting and reflecting shots back at the clone troopers. He cleared a path in his wake, urging S'yndar to leave. "Leave now and this time don't come back, don't look back.And may the Force be with you." he said. as more clone trooper came to take the place of those who had fallen.
S'yndar obeyed as more blaster shots were heard some following after him as he escaped.... it was just as he got to the rendezvous point that he felt his master cut down. He staggered almost falling, feeling the loss. He gasped out to those there.
"We've got to leave now the clone troopers are not far behind."

Cazak listened to Dobby and shook his head. "I can't help it, Dobby. Seeing all my other friends killed, and by Anny of all people, it just makes me see red whenever I think of it. I feel..." glancing at Mira again, "...lost." That was a slip, revealing his true state at the moment. Something about Mira's presence made him say the truth about what he felt. How he wanted to confide in her, but not in the presence of that annoying Keela.
Cazak found himself starting to envy the dead. At least they were at peace, at one with the Force. Not like him, who was left behind to deal with all the turmoil he was experiencing at the moment. It appeared that killing the younglings wasn't the most evil thing Anakin had done that day. For Cazak was damaged inside, the control he had learned under Master Yoda slipping away, and he couldn't stop it. Vader had robbed him of his childhood in one fell swoop, and Cazak could hate him for it. He was edging closer to the brink, overlooking the chasm of which was the Dark Side. It wouldn't take much of a nudge to throw him over the edge. "I need your help." he whispered, glancing back and forth between Dobby and Mira, trying to avoid the gaze of Keela.

"Cazak." Mira caught him with the calm gaze of her violet eyes."You must exercise better control."
She looked over to Keela,then back down to Cazak. "It is indeed a time of trial but you must learn to control your anger, you are young but, it is important that you calm yourself."
She paused and turned towards the door where the Vurk Padawan, S'yndar just arrived grasping at the door. She also felt the pang from the loss of yet another Jedi.
"Master Doret, we had better make haste, if we are to escape" Mira said.
Dobby looked at Cazak, "Please be calm, it isn't good for your blood pressure." something she heard said to another person a while back ago.

"How?" he said quietly. "I wish I could. You ask the impossible." He didn't understand. He wasn't a droid,able to shut off his feelings at a moment's notice. Just stop feeling or caring. How he wished he could, it would stop hurting. But he looked at Dobby. He didn't want to lose his only friend left. That is, unless Resquar was still alive. That was where they were going, at the main hangar. That was a feisty old bird. If anybody could survive, she could.
But they needed to get away quickly, before that.....thing....returned. And he did want to help. How could he prove his worth if nobody would let him? He felt like useless baggage. And yet, he was glad for his friends. Dobby and Mira were two islands of refuge in the midst of this raging storm.
Mira had quite the little problem on her hands, and it was growing bigger.

Main Hangar
Resquar was still alive, of course, and she was having a wild idea. The ship's sensors were active, and she could tell that just outside the main hangar, it was teeming with clone troopers. Just what was going on? It also detected four people on the outskirts trying to get in.
She with just a blaster might not survive, but what about the ship's weaponry? She grinned, a mischievous glint in her eyes. She'd have a little surprise for the clones if they tried anything. Of course, she might get a talking to by the Jedi Masters, but it was worth it. In her eyes, there were three sides to the Force. The light side, which this temple professed to believe in, the dark side that they warned against, and then...there was the Dull Side, which the Masters here were on. Without trying, they could bore a person to sleep. But she tolerated their ways, after all, they paid well and did a lot of good in the Clone Wars.

Tek concentrated and invaded the clones minds. He knew using a force cloak would draw Anikan to them, but they were out of options.
"Everyone in a single file. Stay close and keep as quiet as possible. Your lives depend upon it."
The Jedi led his charges past the armada of clone troopers, praying that Anikan was far enough away that they could reach a starship before he reached them, for he surely knew where they were now.

S'yndar straightened himself up, recovering from the pain he felt from the loss of his master. He looked at the youngling Chetik. "Don't fret yourself, youngling its not impossible."
He walked over to stand beside Eld,"I am ready to go." Then looked at the others.
Mira nodded in approval towards S'yndar, then placed a hand on Cazak's shoulder, "Listen he is right it isn't impossible. I do understand what you are feeling, however you must strive to keep the darkside from consuming you."
Dobby moved over to give Cazak a hug. "It will get better, I know it will."
"All right, we have not found any other survivors here, time to depart." With that Mira walked out of the dormitory, her robes swirling about her, heading through yet another side passageway towards the hangar.

"I will try, Master Star, but it's so hard." He was glad for Dobby as well. "You don't know how much that means to me, Dobby. I'm just so lost right now."
Cazak didn't know it was going to get a whole lot worse before it got better. A crisis was approaching where he would have to make a final choice. There were powerful forces tugging him this way and that that were stronger than he was. One fatal step and he would be following in Anakin's footsteps. He had repeatedly in the past said he wanted to be like his hero Anakin, but not like this.
But he went along with the rest, at Dobby's side, on the way to the main hangar. "Let's just hope Resquar is there waiting for us, and not Anny."

OOC: I have something planned for this group... don't you worry.
Corridors
Jedi Temple
Master Doret nodded as Master Star exited from the Dormitory and moved to bring up the rear, placing the younglings, Padawan, and Eld between the two masters. Keela was pleased to see that Eld had stationed himself near the two younglings. Since neither of the children had weapons of their own, Keela having relieved Cazak of a lightsaber, it was good that one of the more proficient young swordsmen in the order had seemingly taken it upon himself to guard the two children.
For his part, the stoic Kel Dor Jedi Knight remained quiet and pensive as the group began to make its way in the direction of the hanger. Where they would go and what they would do now that they were leaving the Temple, likely for good, was something that the Kel Dor did not know. If nothing else he suspected that the Baran Do sect on his homeworld would provide at least some aid to the Jedi if possible, though he knew that they would not be able to stay with the Baran Do indefinitely. To do so would be to risk bringing harm upon the peaceful sect.
Eld also wondered what would become of the Padawan and two younglings that were with them. Their training would need to be continued, and the Kel Dor had doubts as to his ability to teach them. Especially the younglings. The last thing that Eld wanted was to be responsible for training a young child, he didn't really want to be responsible for teaching a Padawan that was S'yndar's age either, but that would certainly be preferable to teaching one of the children. Teaching the younglings would be too much like babysitting, a task that the Kel Dor was ill suited for.

Arali quietly followed in the wake of the Jedi Knight as he led them past the Clones guarding the hanger. She assumed that if anyone was going to give away their position it would be the large Wookie among them, after all the Wookie's weren't known for their grace or stealth. They were, however, known for pulling people's arms out of socket when they lost various games.
Quietly, the group slipped past the troopers and into the Hanger. Quickly, Arali looked around for a craft that would suit their purposes. A quick glance told her their best bet was probably the Silver Flame, a TL-1800 freighter whose owner escaped Arali at the moment. "That one," she hissed quietly at the others, heading in the direction of the ship.

Hanger Bay
Jedi Temple
Faaral followed suit, feeling the Clones blissfully unaware of the jedi in their mist, trying to concentrate their efforts elsewhere.
spying the starship she made her way, sticking close to the master, her ears and other senses sniffing out the activity her eyes could not see, including the sound of one clones apparently urinating in his suit from the sound of it, thank the heavens and all the deities therein that the clone trooper armor had a built in recycling system that did not need to have the smell come out.
she looked at Arali and mouthed in basic yet silent "i hope we get out of this alive" the fear in her mind growing as her instincts were telling her to bolt and find a hiding hole until it blew over, but that would just get her killed, the fear showing in her eyes

Jedi Archives
Jedi Temple
Despite the best efforts of the Jedi in the Archives the doors could only take so much punishment. With an almighty crash they were, at last, blasted from their hinges by the concussive force of several thermal detonators. With a pair of loud clangs the doors fell to the ground and Clones poured through the breach in the Archives' defenses, pouring fire into the handful of Jedi.
One by one the Jedi fell until at last the troopers had cleansed the presence of the Jedi from the Temple archives. That done, the Troopers began a methodical process of going through the Archives, copying all of the data they could find, and then deleting or destroying as much as they could.

Jedi Temple, Main Hangar
Resquar was there at the ramp of the freighter, waving them over to make haste. "Come on, dearies, time's a wasting, "she said as quietly as she could. "And don't look so surprised. You know where you can stuff those Jedi mind tricks. They don't work on the likes of me. I've got a more impressive trick." As she led them into the ship, she produced a pack of cards. "Pick a card. Any card. No? Then come on, dearies."
She got into the pilot's seat. "Don't know what happened to make all those clones crazy like that, but I've got a little surpise planned if they try anything here. Any others coming? They may need a diversion."

"This can't be good."
Meditation tower
Jedi Temple
The shots and explosions that rang throughout the night, Blake found himself being thrown out of a meditation when the tower was rocked heavily harsh from below bringing him back to reality. He had been looking toward a night of quiet and expanding his senses, he had just begun when the attack on the temple came jolting him awake.
Since he was on one of the towers that sat above the temple itself, Blake was away from the explosion that hit the roof. Getting to his feet pulling free his lightsaber in the process as he felt the screams through the force as he was jolted by several deaths of Jedi, padawan and youngling both causing him to studder and fall against the wall as the tower wavered.
Hitting the call button to have the elevator come up however nothing happened after several minutes of waiting giving telling him that the power had probably been cut. Using the force he pushed the doors outward allowing a possible escape to the lower levels below to be revealed. Blake figured that given time the tower would either collapse or whoever was attacking would start looking for survivors as he looked down into the darkness with no real way to show if the lift had been on its way up or if it was at the bottom.
Reaching out with the force, he looked for a way down without having to try jumping to the lower levels, he found what seemed like a ladder system that lead to about 50 feet to where the lift lay blocking any real chance to get in without cutting his way out.
~I need to get down there, might as well get started on the climb.~ he thought leaving the room without another thought

Jedi Temple
Halfway between the Hanger and Dormitories
The small group of Jedi ran all out from the dormitories, intent on reaching their destination and then leaving Coruscant and the Temple. After all some of them had to survive and try to insure that the Order was not completely eradicated in the attack. With every passing moment the group came closer to their goal, and so far they had been lucky to not encounter any Clone troopers.
Unfortunately, that luck couldn't hope to hold out. Up ahead a full squad of Clone troopers, fourteen in all, rounded a corner and came within sight of the group of Jedi. There would be no way of avoiding conflict with this group of clones, the Jedi would be forced to fight.
Quickly, Eld and Keela moved up from their positions to stand in a line facing the troopers with Mira who was leading the group of Jedi. In a flash Eld's twin blades were out as was Keela's blue one and both Jedi began deflecting blaster shots as they came down the hallway towards the group. "We need a plan of attack," Keela barked to the others. "Thoughts?"

Hanger
Jedi Temple
"We will, Master Nu had me studying Hutt Space for some kind of exercise. There's a system and a planet there that we'll be able to hide on. It's all uncharted, so we'll be really hard to find. Of course, that also means we're just going on rumors," Arali replied to Faaral, moving through the freighter to the cockpit where she encountered Resquar.
When the non-Jedi asked if there was anyone else coming Arali closed her eyes and reached out through the Force for a moment, feeling for the presence of other Jedi and trying to deduce their intentions. "Yes," she replied at last. "There is another group headed this way led by Masters Doret and Star and I think there is yet another Jedi Knight in the Temple also headed towards the Hanger Bay," the Twi'lek said. "We may have to create a diversion to help them slip past the Clones outside the doors. She closed her eyes and reached out again. "Anakin Skywalker is also moving in the direction of the Hanger, though more slowly than the others. I guess when you're as in tune with the Force as he is a few Clones aren't that big of a deal."

Resquar laughed. "A few clones aren't that big a deal to me, either." she said. For a non-Jedi, she was quite the wily bird. She already had half a dozen plans, all outrageous. "And you want a diversion? Just say when and hang on to your booties. I'll provide one they won't soon forget."
She was working the controls, preparing for the main event, watching the sensors for her move.

The Two Cazaks, Prologue
Jedi Temple
Halfway between the Dormitories and Hangar
Cazak saw the Clone troopers attacking. He wanted to help, not just be put aside like useless garbage. Eld and Keela were busy deflecting their fire. "We'll get out of this, Dobby, if I have to claw my way out." he said.
"How about you give us all weapons to fight them, a blaster or lightsaber or something." That slipped out. He was eyeing Goloft's lightsaber hanging on Keela's belt. "Or give us some rocks to throw." He was getting frustrated and impatient. He was being treated like he was something useless.

Meditation Spiral-lift tube
Jedi Academ
As soon as his feet touched the hard yet cool steel of the lift that was attached to the meditation tower that was above him, Blake finally let out a sigh of relief as the climb down was nearly over. During his descent to the temple, he could feel intense heat that came from the fires outside the spiral that was on top of the roof, began to emcompass the lift tube was starting to make the climb down more painful and sweat was beginning to dribble down his face and body.
The closed in space of the tube didn't bother him at all but the heat was him nearly drop the rest of the way to the lift. Down below the screams and cries of pain and death continue to come up through the lift tubes and through the force making it harder to making the descent a lot more difficult nearly making him fall twice. The feel to protect that had seemed to develop over time with his time at the academy, the innocent younglings and the others drove him to continue down as quickly as possible.
Activating his green blade that illuminated the dark tube that surrounded him, Blake aimed the blade downward slicing straight through the lift's actual roof, cutting a opening that was big enough to allow for him to drop down inside into a empty lift, thankfully. Outside the doors, he could hear the echoes of blaster fire dancing all around the cooridors, which allowed him to realize that there wasn't any attackers nearby.
Nevertheless that didn't mean that his want to protect was gone, but common sense made him reach into the door with the force looking for the release switch that lay on the inside of the door. He knew that cutting through the door would probably alert whoever was attacking the academy. During his descent, his mind continued to race with questions of who would actually attack the academy especially with so many defenders and how were they able to kill so many younglings & the padawans and Jedi Knights.
The mechanism was easy to find and release as the doors quickly opened with a whoosh opening to a horrorific sight before him. Bodies of several younglings & padawans lay scattered around with many of them with a training saber that lay nearby showing signs that they had tried to defend themselves against the attackers.
Many of them had blaster burns scattered across their lifeless bodies however that wasn't the most disturbing thing as the signs of cuts of a lightsaber along with burns where the wounds have closed...one slash. Taking in a deep breath, Blake started moving along the cooridor hoping to find survivors before they meet the same fate.
Deactivating the blade to his lightsaber but rather than reattach the hilt to his belt, he held it off to the side so not to injure himself or another, with his thumb near the activation switch he continued moving toward the main hall overlooking the entry way.
Once there, he found the scene even worse than he had intially seen before, below the Padawan's by the look of it, were deflecting blaster shots off to the walls harmlessly. However the sight of the attackers were the true shocker although it gave the reason why the attackers were able to take so many out.
"Clone Troopers?! What's going on? Why are they attacking Jedi?!" he growled with confusion when a sudden flare in the force caused Blake to duck as a shower of blaster bolts struck near him causing him to move away from the balcony quickly. However the bolts continued to follow him as it started edging him into a corner where the ceiling had collapsed from something hitting it.
Igniting his blade once more, Blake found that his only choice was to charge through the troopers ahead of him that were about to round the corner & leap to the floor below where he could hopefully disappear and get to a safer place.
Taking in that he had little choice, he drew up the force and started running toward the end using the force to accerlate him toward the end as the troopers came around the corner as he slashed at two of the troopers before his disappeared over the balacony.

Jedi Temple
Halfway between the Dormitories and Hangar
Mira frowned slightly seeing the clone troopers, adding her own skills to the mix, deflecting and reflecting the shots back towards the clone troopers.
"Keela, (forgoing any formalities) I suggest that you and I deal with these clone troopers making an opening and have Eld get the others to the hangar, while we bring up the rear." Mira suggested.
Cazak saw the Clone troopers attacking. He wanted to help, not just be put aside like useless garbage. Eld and Keela were busy deflecting their fire. "We'll get out of this, Dobby, if I have to claw my way out." he said.
Dobby looked over and nodded. "I don't plan on going with out a struggle, Cazak."
"How about you give us all weapons to fight them, a blaster or lightsaber or something." That slipped out. He was eyeing Goloft's lightsaber hanging on Keela's belt. "Or give us some rocks to throw." He was getting frustrated and impatient. He was being treated like he was something useless.
"We don't really need weapons, watch me!" Dobby said as she concentrated and sent a clone trooper flying backwards. "See? Master Yoda taught me that.He said you can accomplish anything you set your mind to do."
S'yndar staying very close to the Younglings to help protect them spoke up,keeping a wary eye on the way they had come.
"We better do something as I'm sure we may find ourselves having to deal with the other troopers from the dormitory."

Two Cazaks, Part 1
Jedi Temple
Between Dormitories and Hangar
Cazak saw Dobby use a force push to knock away one of the Clones. "Way to go, Dobby!" he said. "I'll try it." Unfortunately for poor Cazak, his emotions were in chaos, first from what he had first seen that day, the way (in his eyes) that Master Doret was treating him like he wasn't trusted, and now this attack, this wasn't the time to do it.
But he focused his own concentration, screaming "GO AWAY!" A loose statue tore loose and slammed into some of the Clone Troopers. He was too close to the Dark Side to do any Force action safely. And this was the trigger for the crisis that was coming.
Horrible visions arose in his mind. Especially the fact he was still upset at Master Doret, one of the visions was of him snatching Goloft's lightsaber and bisecting him. The lightsaber trembled at the weapons belt.
Suddenly aware of what was happening, Cazak tried desperately to control the anger that was rising up within him, his teeth clenched in concentration, breathing deeply to expel the raging emotions. He was desperately fighting for control.
But then, the red lightsaber flew to his hand and he activated it. All he had to do was to strike with all his anger and his journey to the darkside would be complete.
But, to the surprise of any who was watching, he didn't strike. Instead, Cazak froze, as if he had been turned to stone. His eyes were blank, deep in a trance, nothing was showing of the deadly battle between Light and Dark that was raging in his spirit.
Cazak seemed to be watching from above, while he was struggling against the Dark Side. Once again, another horrible vision came to him, of his friends, Keela, Eld, Mira, and dear, sweet Dobby, laying dead at his feet, and of him laughing, looking like Anakin did when he saw the fallen Jedi killing his friends. He was horrified at the vision. He fought back with all his strength.
He wanted Mira, he wanted Dobby, he wanted Eld and even Keela. He was balanced between opposing forces of Dark and Light, and a choice was now offered him. "I will not turn." he said. "No! Never! NEVER!" Everything that was in him that could be called Cazak went into that cry, that utter rejection of the dreams of power, of the Dark Side, and the dreadful feeling of having played his last card washed over him.
He went back to his own consciousness, and deactivated Goloft's lightsaber, lowering it. But the strain was too much for the little Chikar, of all the events that were happening, of the turmoil that he had gone through, the deadly struggle he had just encountered. His eyes rolled back in his head. "D..Dobby..." he cheeped weakly. He collapsed on the floor, unconscious, still clutching the lightsaber so tightly that it couldn't be removed, even by the Force, without ripping his hands off.
He looked like he had just aged at least ten years. Yet he was not out of the woods yet. He had made his choice, to the Light Side and against the darkside, but another deadly battle awaited him. And after that, the long, painful road to recovery.

Two Cazaks, Conclusion
Jedi Temple (spirit level)
Between Dormitories and Hangar
Cazak found himself in the Jedi Temple, but he was alone. None of the bodies that were strewn on the floor, of Jedi and Padawan and youngling, none of the storm troopers, even his friends weren't there. He didn't realize yet that he was on another level, a levelof the mind or the spirit, another Jedi Temple where the Clone Troopers couldn't reach.
He padded through the halls, searching for anybody, still clutching Goloft's red lightsaber. Yet he sensed somebody was in the Temple with him. He turned a corner, on the way to the Hangar, to see if anybody was there, when somebody was there, blocking the way.
It was Cazak. But a Cazak that none of his friends would recognize. A cruel smile was on his face, his eyes glowing yellow with the Dark Side. He was also holding a lightsaber. The smile faded. "SO!" he growled. "You would reject me, would you? Betray the Dark Side, when I would deliver you to Darth Vader. I will make you pay, Cazak!"
"You can try." said Cazak, facing his darker self. He activated the lightsaber in his hand. So did Dark Cazak.
And so began a battle that only one would walk away from, in a way, a foreshadowing of the coming battle between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. The battle was fierce, the sabers blazing, attack and parry, counterattack and strike. It was going so fast and furious that it was impossible for one or both not to be killed.
Was this a re-enactment of the struggle Cazak had just undergone, or an anticipation of this, the true battle? Maybe both. Maybe neither. There were no hard and fast answers in the way of the Force.
At one moment, Cazak was prevailing, at another it was DC who was pressing his advantage.
Then, a clash seperated the two combatants. Dark Cazak struck with a blast of Force Lightning. Cazak tried to deflect it with his lightsaber, but he wasn't Mace Windu. He was only partially successful, and he was struck, falling.
Dark Cazak grinned, approaching for the kill, but then Cazak recovered, giving a force push like Dobby had done, throwing him back.
Given the moment's respite, Cazak stood his ground. With a cry of hate that stung Cazak's ears, Dark Cazak rushed to him, his lightsaber raised high, intending to end it once and for all.
Cazak waited calmly for the onslaught, at peace for the moment. Then, a lightning move. He twirled, giving a slash, bisecting Dark Cazak in the middle. The dark self exploded in a bright red eruption of Dark Side energy. Cazak fell down, his lighsaber falling from his hands, shielding his eyes. He was burnt and battered, but the storm passed. He sat up, then painfully got up.
Footsteps approached from the hangar. Cazak turned. It was Goloft, the Jedi who had been slain in the onslaught in the Temple, back there. "Well done, little Cazak. You have fought a deadly battle against the Dark Side, and have prevailed. Though at great cost." He bent down and picked up the red lightsaber.
He handed it to Cazak. "You have earned this, Cazak. Learn to use it. The skills you have just used only exist on this level, in this Temple. You must learn your lessons from Master Star. Follow her teachings well. You have a long, hard road ahead of you, and a long, painful recovery to undergo. But listen to her and follow her. Use this saber to defend the weak, not for vengeance. That is the way to the darkside. Master Keela was right in that."
"I realize it now, Master." said Cazak. "My anger blinded me."
"You have learned your first lesson, to trust the Masters. You will learn much about the Force, and how to use the lightsaber. Eventually, you will construct your own, but always bear this in my memory. Well done. Now sleep" Goloft laid a hand on Cazak.
He was back on the physical level, still unconscious. He had been deeply hurt by the Darkside, both inside and outside, and it would be a long, painful road to recovery. But anybody looking down on his unconscious body would find a smile on his face.
Tag Keela, Mira, Dobby, Eld, and the others.

Jedi Academy
Between the Dormintories and hangar
Tumbling over the rail followed by more blaster fire as the troopers on the ground heard the comotion from above turned their weapons toward the target adding to their own fire on Blake as he found that he had little time to move before the smell of burnt cloak and fire caught his attention. Pulling his cloak off allowing him a bit more of free movement, Blake blocked a few more blaster bolts as he started to back away heading down the long hall-way heading for the hangar.
It was apparent that the Jedi Academy wasn't safe right now, as something had happened that made him wonder what happened to cause the clone troopers to turn against the Jedi. Using a split second to use the force to throw the persuing clone troopers backward allowing him enough time to turn and run off toward the hangar.
The halls seemed to be a maze of blocked entrances and collapsed ceilings caused Blake to wonder if getting out of here alive possible. Blake could feel that there were others elsewhere although everything seemed to be confusion as it showed no real close sign of which was hostile and who was friendly as he could sense that many of the Jedi's that still were alive were upset about seeing the troops that they thought were allies suddenly turning against them murdering them in cold blood and close friends just didn't seem right.
Looking for hopefully other Jedi's that had survived, Blake found them heading toward the hangar which made him decide that hopefully they had the same idea that he did.

Jedi Temple
Lower Levels (level 43 from street level)
Fel Vreni had made his place here, so low as to never see sunlight. It had quite a few advantages, and surprisingly very few disadvantages. This low in the planet Coruscant strata was below the traffic patterns, below the large quantities of people, and below the other Jedi and their continues disturbances of the eddies in the force.
The Knights, the Padawans all walking in the force, all muddying the way, Fel was below that, he was in a deep trance, watching the past and the future, seeing what is and will be by letting the force carry him. He had been here now for four days, he had seen what will be and what was, but it no longer mattered, what will happen has happened and nothing could be done to change it.
The eddies of Force current changed, the here and now shifted as a presents was made known in the temple, Fel felt the darkness, he felt the loss of the lights as Masters, Knights, Padawans and small children were murdered.
The Chosen One was fulfilling his destiny. He was bring a balance to the force, there had been many lights and so very few dark, the balance had to be made, it was the prophesy, even if no one but him believed that interpretation.
So now Fel Vreni Jedi Master had to make a choice, did he run away, go up and fight (and die) or did he just stay here and wait for them. He was undecided, the children were a big factor in this, they were innocent, as were most of the Knights that were dying up there, but they were going to die anyway, if Fel went up and fought beside them or not.
But perhaps if he did go up there, he could save some of them... He opened himself to the force, fully immersing himself in the here and now. He felt Anakin, and he could feel that Anakin felt him, that sealed his fate, but he also found the ones making their way to the hangers, he could help them.
Fel Vreni stood up and walked to the elevators, they were out of order, he would just lift himself with the force up the nearly three quarters of a kilometer to the level he needed to be on... he sighed, he had never even been able to lift a stylus off a table, much less himself up an elevator shaft. He pulled the panel off and pulled some of the wiring out, he found the wires he was needing and hotwired the elevator, he heard it drop down the shaft toward him.
The doors opened and he stepped in, the ceiling had a hole cut in it, someone had already used this elevator to join a battle, but it did give him an idea... He reset the level he wanted to stop on and then climbing on the rail, he worked his way out of the hole and onto the roof.
The elevator car stopped a level before the one he wanted and he reached out and tripped the door open box, the doors swished open and he stepped out. Clones started coming at him and Fel unclipped his lightsaber, he could feel the wildness bubbling up in him, the here and now, the shear joy of the fight.
The blaser bolts started coming and he deflected them, killing clones with their own shots, then the climax hit, the laugh peeled and echoed off the stone walls, and the world went crazy, spinning like a dervish Fel waded right into the group, unconcerned about his safety he struck to one side then the other, his saber 1.3 meters one moment and 2.5 meters the next as he flashed back and forth till the whole squad was lying dead. That should be a good start, now to draw more attention away from the hanger deck and give the children a chance. He headed for the hanger, he had to be seen by Anakin, draw him away from the others...

Jedi Temple
Hanger bay
Faaral nodded and grabbed her Saber and jumped out of the ship, having glanced at the navicom which plotted its course as the Pilot readied for flight.
Heading out to distract the Clone Troopers, egnighting her blade, the golden light gleaming as she deflected blaster bolts back at them the same as everyone else, trying not to inflict mortal wounds--they were still sentients after all-- the clones fell---BUT KEPT COMING!
Fear built up in her as she felt that she would not survive the encounter, a line had formed between her and the shuttle, she kept backing up in the direction of the open bay, outside the battle was still ongoing, the Temple under fire as well as siege...
the ship would have to dance around blasterbolts on its way out...
But she would not be able to make it back, so she turned, disengaged the lightsaber as she came to the edge of the hanger deck, and leaped, cocooning herself in force energy she plummeted from the temple, and made a hard landing on a walkway below on a building across from the temple.

- A Executive Hotel Suite on Coruscant -
- Overlooking the Jedi Temple in the distance -
The Farghul female stared out over the cityscape of Coruscant at the smoke and glow rising from the Jedi temple. Something she had wanted for so long, her Master before her wanted, and so on, had finally come to pass.
But something was very wrong with it.
The feline alien turned back into the suite, dressed in black cloth, the tannish brown fur lined with black makeup in lines accenting her features. She reached through the Force to summon her Apprentice whom appears almost immediately, a reddish-brown furred Amaran with startling emerald eyes dressed in a black hooded cloak that hid almost all her features.
"It has happened, has it, Master?" The Sith Apprentice said quietly.
"A powerful Sith has eluded us and the Jedi. My meditations have shown me who it is. He is a fool for doing this so openly. This is not how Sith are supposed to operate!" She spun and paced. "We are supposed to guide from the shadows, not blatantly seizing power like this!" She growled.
"I know. I have seen it as well."
The feline froze in place as her sharply pointed ears perked, showing they were grey with age. She sensed it. And no doubt the fox-like alien was aware. "So... here... now..." She slowly turned to face her Apprentice.
The vulpine alien nodded. "Your mission has come to an end, my Master. For decades I have learned at your feet and in your bed... I will always cherish our time together." She spoke almost sadly.
The feline appeared to consider it, then nodded. "I know. You have done well." She smiled in approval. "You will be a great Master. But there is one last thing you must do before you can claim the title 'Dark Lord of the Sith'."
The cloak moved aside, and a silver Lightsaber blade hissed into existance. "Let us do this quietly. We do not wish to blow our cover."
The feline nodded, igniting her own red blade before the two stepped close...
- Ten Minutes Later -
The damage was minimal; the body was disposed of and a mind trick ensured the bellhop that came close enough to hear the skirmish would not remember.
The Amaran stood before the window, now a Dark Lord of the Sith. Her Master, whom will remain nameless forever more, was no more. She had lived longer than most Farghul had anyway. It was only a matter of time until everything she knew had been absorbed by the Amaran whom would ensure her memory was honored, by continuing the ever-lasting task of a True Sith; to unlock the secrets of the Force, and thereby gain True Power.
Her former Master was correct; Darth Siddious was a fool. He had begun to use his power openly, and actively sought to control the Republic - Empire, now, if the News Vids were to be believed. To control Mortals one had to prove they were truely worthy. The new Master would continue to hide - their base on Adumar was still secure - and learn. Just because she had rightfully claimed the title did not mean she was done learning. So much had been lost over the millenia.
First order of business, however, was to secure an Apprentice. And her meditations, that had come with the revelation of what was going on here on Coruscant, had shone her the way.
Emerald eyes turned toward the burning Jedi Temple...

Ductwork over hanger
Jedi Temple
Melfina popped open the grate of the duct and dropped it down, making a clang, which over the sounds of the battle was not that noticeable.
the feline swung down and landed on one clone, knocking him senseless. and used a force shove to blow away another squad.
looking at the ship that was prepping for launch she ran toward it "hey don't forget about me! i did not spend hours in that blasted duct to be left behind!" during all this her lightsaber remained deactivated. she dashed into the ship and rolled into the dive.
(ok she is a little eager to get out of there. being inside a duct like Gordon Freeman tends to make one stir crazy)

Moving through areas that he could that were still open although he had to cut through the wall or a door that had been locked down by his guessing of the clone troopers trying to keep the Jedi in one area. However when he broke through the last area he found with great relief that the familiar feeling of Jedi around him allowed him to realize that he was close to the hangar bay.
The sounds of one of the ships getting ready to leave caused Blake to move quicker as he knew that the best chance of survival during times like this was together. Running into the hangar he found hope as there were several Jedi getting on board the ship in front of him.
Turning around, he let out a sad sigh as he always felt that the academy was his home however now it seemed like nothing was safe anymore. ~We will return.~

Jedi Temple
"Whatever we do it needs to be fast," Keela yelled back at Mira. At that moment another Jedi Knight appeared, sprinted right past the group, and continued on in the direction of the hanger as if the Clone Troopers weren't even there.
"So helpful, that one," Eld muttered, twirling his twin lightsabers and deflecting a series of incoming blasts from the weapons of the clone troopers.
At that moment another presence, an evil presence that was altogether familiar, touched the minds of the small group of Jedi. Reacting quickly Master Doret sent a powerful shove through the Force down towards the troopers, blasting them all back off their feet. A split second later she sent another shove through the Force shoving the others out of her path. Then, reaching up through the Force she caused a massive cave in of the Temple ceiling between herself and the group of retreating Jedi. Just as she finished Anakin Skywalker came tearing around a corner in the hall to stand face to face with her.
"Skywalker," she said, curtly. "You'll only be getting one here. The Order will survive," she continued, raising her cerulean blade in a salute to the one time Chosen One.
"Master Doret, I knew I felt your presence still within the Temple. But not for much longer," Anakin said, raising his own blade in a mock salute to the Jedi Master.

Hanger
Jedi Temple
Arali looked around in confusion. It seemed as if within the space of a very few minutes several things had happened in the Hanger. First, Faaral had taken off out of the ship and the clones had started firing on them. Then a Human Jedi Knight had staggered aboard followed closely by a Cathar Padawan. "By the Goddess, just blast all the Clones now... and get the engines fired up as soon as Master Star and her group arrive we need to be ready to leave."
(tag Birdy)
In a second Arali jumped from her seat in the cockpit and made her way to the small freighter's loading ramp. "If either of you," she said, looking from the Human to the Cathar to the Wookie, "can pilot I suggest you take one of the Eta-2's or Delta-7's. They're noticeable, but we can still pawn them off for credits, and I doubt that the hyperdrive rings in orbit have been destroyed. Slave your hyperdrives to ours," the Twi-leki girl said in an uncharacteristically imperious tone before turning in a swish of robes and going to check on Tek.
(tags Blake, Melfina, and Tek)
Continuing along on her way Arali came on the room in the ship where Tek had been stashed. No doubt the Jedi Knight was probably a capable pilot, at the least, but he was in no position to be flying. "And you are to stay right there," the green-skinned woman said, leveling a finger at the Nautolan before spinning in a swish of robes and returning to the cockpit.

Melfina nodded "i have had a few lessons, but i have not been fully qualified. once in orbit i will slave my navicom as well as hyperdrive to the ship" she said as she jumped out and boarded one of the fighters, the astromec Droid warbling a greeting, but not questioning, even a droid had a survival instinct of sorts. Seating herself she put on the helmet, which was an uncomfortable fit since it was designed for a human head, she pulled down the cockpit canopy.
"alright ready to go" she said as she powered it up, the clones making potshots at it, to no avail as the shield protected it and kept well away from the weapons systems as she rotated into position.

Nodding his head in a understanding way, Blake left the transport knowing that the Padawan was correct with taking a few fighters to get credits to give them another fighting chance or help whoever survived a fighting chance. Blake was one to think that the chances of getting off world in a Jedi Starfighter that was indeed noticable was unlikely however with the possibly of a chance of living another day pushed the thought of his mind.
Looking around the scarred deck, he found a Eta-2 that showed signs of battle from other space battles sitting nearby with a R2 unit trying to make repairs on her. Running over reattaching his hilt to his belt as he pressed the release on the hatch, the R2 unit gave a sharp beep and buzz of irritation about taking the fighter out so soon.
"Quiet, R2. The academy is under attack and we need this fighter...and I can use a R2 unit so if you rather get destroyed or dismantled then you can stay other than that get on!" Blake said indicating the vacant slot where a R2 or R5 unit could be placed to help with repairs or navigation.
The droid fell silent for what seemed like seconds causing Blake to roll his eyes as he jumped into the cockpit powering up the main systems as bringing up the shielding after with surprise that the R2 unit entered the empty slot giving a low irritated buzz after settling into place with the translation appeared on the small screen that was in the cockpit.
The deflector shielding is in need of repairs!
"Can you get them fixed quickly?!" Blake asked putting on the communication band as he brought up the rest of the systems quickly linking his navigating and comm link to the freighters and other fighter that seemed to be starting up.
It will take several minutes!
"Get on it, we are going to need those shields!" Blake said before turning back to the comm. "All set to go here, deflector shields are being worked on right now but my R2 unit should have it going soon."

"Your wish is my command, dearie." said Resquar. "This oughta earn my my pay and more." She cackled as she pressed the controls firing the frieghter's blasters in a sweeping motion, cutting down the Clone Troopers. Then, she did a big blast right at the wall, collapsing it on the troopers outside. "That should provide a diversion for our arriving Jedi. Though I know Master Yoda will have a litter of kittens when he sees what I just did."
She was having the time of her life. She warmed up the engines of the freighter. "Sensors show the group of Jedi should be arriving soon."
Resquar then looked back at the others. "So what's with these clones? Not that I ever trusted them, they're too creepy for my taste. But they've never turned on us like this."

"It was all part of Palpatine's plan. He's the Sith Lord. He orchestrated the war to give him the power he wanted. We've all been played like fools. He embedded a secret order into the clone troopers" Tek said as he searched through the thoughts of the thousands to find any stragglers.
He sat down and strapped himself in, still reaching out with his mind.

Fel felt Tek searching for him, well for anyone, and he shielded himself from the Jedi Knight, the young man didn't need to know he was here, Tek would wait for him, or worse, try to help him and that was not the fate of the old master Fel Vreni. His path lay in another direction...

Fighter in Hanger bay
Melfina lifted off, the droid unit assisting her with somewhat sarcastic prompts, some of which she would not repeat. the ship hovered in the shadow of the Freighter, prepared to make sure it survived, the ping for the Hyperdrive collar coming back green, although drifted off course from its location, the collar docking ring had been damaged during the assault, individual hyperdrive units were intact, but the ring they were standing by on was disabled sending the rings floating free. docking with them would be a challange for her, and over the channel a string of words she learned from a Mandilorian Sergent named Kal Skirata, of which the droid on her fighter actually chastised her for. "well anyway, we will be playing hide and seek with the hyperdrive collars it seems" she said relaying the computers return findings.

Mira felt the strong emotions that emanated from Cazak, she knew quite well the feelings that he experienced, and the struggle he was facing. When the war of emotions were over and he collapsed to the floor, Mira looked at S'yndar,
"Pick up the youngling." she said.
Dobby was frightened when she saw the heat from Cazak, there was something wrong seriously wrong. She ran to his side when he collapsed to the floor.
" Cazak.. Cazak, don't you be leaving me either." she said with a sob in her voice.
S'yndar picked up the youngling Chetik just as another Jedi sprinted past them, cutting down several clone troopers in his wake.
The thrust of Keela's force push caught Mira by surprise pushing her back. Mira felt the dark presence of Anakin draw near. Another Master was sacrificing herself to save others much like her other master did long ago. With the collapsing of the ceiling, Mira knew they had to leave.
"Eld, S'yndar lets move, and Dobby you get moving too. I hope that Master Doret will be able to hold him back long enough for us to escape. Her sacrifice must not be in vain." Mira stated and turned with a firm resolve and moved quickly towards the hangar.

Unconscious as he was, Cazak still felt the close proximity of Anakin. He went into a dream. He saw the maelstrom that was the Dark Side of the Force, which had almost consumed him. He saw it for what it was. It was growing stronger in the galaxy, and things would get worse before they got better. But his new insight into the Dark Side also showed him that the entity that was Darth Vader had not completely destroyed Anakin Skywalker. In that, the masters were mistaken. A small part of him still existed, imprisoned within the monster created by the Dark Side. It was probably because he had turned not for selfish reasons, but for another. Who or what, Cazak couldn't see.
But whatever it was, it preserved a small part of the good man that Anakin used to be. A part that longed to be released from its prison. Cazak also saw that none of them could do it. None were close enough to release him. It had to be another. Who, Cazak couldn't see. Until then, if ever, Vader was far too dangerous to approach. But Cazak felt the conflict within the troubled man, and he knew it. He had felt the conflict himself and had come out on the other side.
Having gone to the very edge of falling and yet resisting, Cazak now had an insight on the dark side that few had. He would have a lot to tell when he woke up.
Cazak had learned wisdom the hard way.

Hallway into Hanger
Jedi Temple
Eld tore out in front of the group and, coming up on the remnants of the Clones they had just been battling with the Jedi Knight held out his hands and utilized an ability that he had learned Master Plo Koon. Standing before the troopers, most of whom seemed unconscious after the Force Push from Master Doret, Eld calmly deactivated his lightsabers and then reached for the Force.
A stream of green lightning bolts poured from the Kel Dor Jedi's fingertips. After a moment the Jedi stepped back away from the corpses of the troopers that had not been dead already. As he used the power there was not a trace of fear or anger in the young Jedi Knight, merely a sense of justice being served. These Clones had attacked the Temple and, no doubt, killed more than a few innocent Jedi. They had earned their punishment as such.
Quickly the Jedi made their way to the Hanger and entered through a hole in the wall that Eld quickly excised with his own lightsabers. Quickly the Kel Dor scanned the hanger through his goggled eyes and assessed the situation. "Younglings into the freighter," he directed S'yndar, pointing at the ship with the engines firing up. "I'll take my fighter." Eld didn't bother to give any further instructions to S'yndar or Mira. They would do what needed to be done on their own, or so he would trust.
Quickly the Jedi moved across the hanger and, using the Force, leaped directly into the cockpit of his Delta-7B starfighter with its distinctive navy and orange paint scheme. "R4, get the engines online now. We're leaving." While the droid went about its work Eld twiddled through comm channels until he found the one that the rest of the group was on. "I suggest those of us in the fighters take off and make sure that ground-to-air fire doesn't bring down the freighter when they leave. What's the plan beyond that?"
Arali, who had by this time made her way back to the cockpit and dropped into the co-pilot's seat, thumbed the mic on the ship's comm. "Slave your hyperdrive and navicomputer to ours once you've docked with a hyperdrive ring," Arali said into the comm unit a few seconds before she felt the presence of a Master step onto the freighter. 'Good,' she thought to herself. 'The Master will be able to get the new arrivals situated.'
Eld nodded as R4 warbled indicating that the ship was ready for take off. "Alright then, it's time for us to leave. Those of you in the fighters, we're designating ourselves Knight Group for now. Form up on me, I've got the lead." Once the fighters had formed up the Kel Dor led them out of the hanger. "Identify your targets, take out the weapons emplacements. Knight group is weapons free."

Prologue/Chapter One

Star Wars: Perseverence
It is a dark time for the Republic as the Clone Wars shake the very foundations of the once proud democracy. Aware of the continued presence and influence of the Dark Side of the Force, members of the Jedi Council are shocked to discover that the Sith Lord, styling himself Darth Sidious, in their midsts is none other than Chancellor Palpatine himself.
Armed with knowledge given to them by the youngest member of the Council, Anakin Skywalker, four Jedi Masters led by Mace Windu confront the Chancellor in his offices on Coruscant. Just when it seems that they will prevail against the Sith, Master Mace Windu is betrayed by the very person that had brought the Council the news of the Sith Lord's identity, Anakin Skywalker.
Lured by the promise of the power to save the one he loves Anakin assists Darth Sidious in killing Master Windu and then apprentices himself to the Sith Lord, becoming Darth Vader. In a swift move to deal decisively with the Jedi, Sidious implements the secret Order 66 in the clone troopers and sends his apprentice, Darth Vader, at the head of an army of clone troopers to slaughter the younglings, Padawans, and few remaining Jedi in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant...

Jedi Temple
Main Atrium
Anakin Skywalker marched slowly, though determinedly, up the stairs leading into the Jedi Temple. There was no hesitation in his movement, nor was there any secrecy. It was difficult to be subtle when one was leading an entire division of crack Clone Troopers. The sound of so many pairs of boots always hitting the ground in unison could not have had any other affect than to be menacing and demoralizing. Surely, the Jedi inside knew that something big was coming... but how could they suspect that the mission of the Clones was to cleanse the Temple of its Jedi infestation?
Reaching out a hand, Anakin threw the main entry doors into the Temple open using a powerful force push. The sheer impact of the blow to the doors sent them reeling from their hinges and, as if on cue, the lead troopers broke into a run and began pouring into the newly created breach, the blue trim of their ARC Trooper armor flashing as they sprinted past Anakin and into the Temple like dogs being freshly loosed from a leash.
As if from nowhere, the first of the Temples defenders made their presence known. Where a moment before none had stood three forms suddenly appeared as if from nowhere. In the middle stood Master Cin Drallig, his right hand wrapped tightly around the hilt of his emerald lightsaber. To his left and right were a pair of Padawans, Whie Malreaux and Bene, their lightsabers likewise drawn and at the ready. Almost lazily, Master Drallig flicked out his hand and sent a ball of concentrated force energy at the lead ARC Trooper, blasting the clone from his feet to send him into the wall behind with bone shattering force.
"So, it's to be betrayal then, Skywalker," Master Drallig asked softly, arching an eyebrow in the direction of the newest Sith.
"The Jedi are the traitors, Master Drallig. It is they who were plotting against the Senate, and Master Windu himself who attempted to assassinate the Chancellor," Anakin snarled back, matching Master Drallig's calmness with a venom to equal it. "And now, you will all suffer the fate of traitors!"
"No!" The shout came from Whie who broke into a foolhardly sprint across the distance between Darth Vader and where the trio of defenders stood facing Vader and the ARC trooper clones rushing in.
"Whie, stop," Cin yelled, but it was too late to stop the Padawan as he sprinted out to meet Anakin.
As the Padawan neared Vader he hauled his emerald bladed lightsaber back with both hands, preparing for as powerful of a slashing attack as he could muster. Almost lazily, Anakin darted forward a few steps and thrust his own blade out into the opening created by Whie as the Padawan prepared to strike. An instant later the blue tip of Anakin's lightsaber blade was readily visible as it protruded from the back of Whie's garments. With a flick of his wrist, Anakin removed the foolish Padawan from the weapon and turned his attention back to Master Drallig and Bene.
"You see what happens to those that seek to overthrow the Senate," he roared, pointing at the body of Whie. As the short lived attack of the Padawan had been carried out the troopers had been forming a perimeter around the other two. "No," Anakin snarled, dismissing the ARC troopers with a gesture that inadvertently sent a few of them flying several feet. "These two are mine!"
As he finished speaking, Anakin extended his left hand with its fingers curled. As if on cue, Bene rose into the air, her blue lightsaber falling from her fingers as her feet left the ground. Her eyes bulged slightly as the airflow into her body was cut off by Vader's exercise of the Force. Too far away to reach Vader before the other Padawan was also dead, Master Drallig hurled a sphere of force energy in the direction of Vader. With a flick of his wrist, Skywalker deflected the ball of energy into the ceiling of the main atrium of the Temple. With a snarl, Anakin closed his fingers into a fist. Bene managed one last gasp before Vader opened his fingers and allowed the now lifeless form of the other Padawan to fall to the ground.
"And now, Master," Anakin said, spitting the last word distastefully from his mouth. "I shall deal with you as I have dealt with your students..."

Jedi Temple
Main Atrium
Master Keela Doret stood on a small terrace that was overlooking the main atrium of the Jedi Temple. She had both heard and felt the approach of the clone troopers and, while she feared what they might be there for, she was not ready to pass judgment on their purpose without being crystal clear as to why the clones were there.
From her perch she watched as Anakin Skywalker slew first one and then another of Master Drallig's students. The volume of his words allowed them to reach her even as far away from the scene of the battle as she was, and it was apparent that the Chosen One felt no remorse for his actions. "So, he has truly fallen then," she said to herself.
Spinning on her heel with a swish of robes the female Jedi Master knew what she had to do. Pushing open the door to the balcony where she had been meditating Keela disappeared into the hallways of the Temple. She knew that she needed to round up as many other Jedi as she could and flee from Coruscant. She had seen the numbers that Anakin had brought to the fight and she knew that there was no way for those few Jedi at the temple, and their Padawans and the younglings, to stand successfully against such numbers.
************************************************** ************************************************** ******************
Jedi Temple
Dormitory
One of the Jedi Order's newest Knights, Eld Harl, was pulled unceremoniously from his meditations in his room by the sound of blaster fire far below his window. Wondering who could be so bold as to stage a crime of some sort right outside the Jedi Temple itself, Eld stood from his place on the floor and moved to the open window. Sticking his orange head outside, he peered down. To his surprise, not that you could have told it from his face, he watched as several clone troopers surrounded and gunned down a Padawan in one of the Temple's many courtyards.
Drawing his lightsabers, Eld charged from his room. He was not sure what the clones attacking the Padawan could mean, but whatever it was it couldn't be good. As he entered the hallway the orange and navy lightsabers in his hands hummed to life and the Jedi began to make his way in the direction of the dormitory's central staircase so he could descend into the Temple proper to ascertain what exactly was going on. If he rounded up a few Padawans along the way, then so much the better.

Jedi Temple, Tek Nor's Chambers
The sound of blasters and screams of death tore Jedi Knight Tek Nor from his meditation. He pulled his lightsaber from his belt with the force and switched it on, the beam of black energy whipping out the end. He reached out with his mind and searched for who was attacking. He recoiled in shock as he saw the mind of Anikan Skywalker as he killed a group of younglings with his blade.
"NOOOOO!" He cried without thinking, giving away his position to a approaching patrol of ARC Troopers.
He was suddenly caught in a storm of blaster bolts. He deflected them off as best as he could, but several got through. He grunted in pain as he was hit in the shoulder, stomach, legs, and face. He opened a ventilation shaft in the ceiling and jumped into it.

[Dormitory]
Feeling restless, Mira moved from her perch where she had watched the colors of the setting sun, bathe the five spires of the Jedi Temple. Most times the view calmed her spirit and gave her solace, but tonight wasn't the case. She should have enjoyed how the red and gold tones painted the upper portion, then the pink changing into purple, before fading into the velvety dark blue of nightfall.
Something was on the edge of her mind as she sensed danger in the air. Where it came from, Mira didn't know until the sounds of blaster fire and cries of pain and sense of life ending, permeated the air. Hurrying towards the Dormitory area, Mira caught glimpses of Jedi and Padawans, as well as those who worked in the temple were cut down. Mira slipped into the dormitory to check on things there.

"And now we shall see if you're a better swordsman than your students, Master Drallig," Anakin sneered, his blue blade sweeping down towards Master Drallig. Drallig reacted impulsively, lifting his own emerald colored saber up to parry the blow while summoning the another green lightsaber from the ground with his left hand through the Force. As the weapon of the fallen Padawan Whie reached his fingers it ignited and Master Drallig attempted to smash a powerful overhanded blow into Anakin.
Too quickly, Anakin pulled back from his attack and used the Force to push Drallig back while parrying the Master's attack with his own lightsaber. Caught unaware, Drallig was forced back several feet and Anakin took the opportunity to reach out through the Force and pluck the blue saber from the ground that had belonged to Bene.
"You always were a fine swordsman, Master Drallig... now we shall finally see who is the best," Anakin said, beginning to circle slowly to the right the twin blue sabers in his hands flashing and humming.
For several minutes Master Drallig waged a furious battle against Anakin Skywalker. But in the end, Drallig could see that the battle was a fruitless endeavor which he could not win. The pair of them were two of the finest swordsmen in the entire Order and between them they were wielding four separate lightsabers. Despite his own considerable skill in the soresu form of combat Master Drallig was only being able to hold back his powerful foe. In time, he knew, he would tire and fall to Anakin's blades, of that fact Master Drallig was certain.
While Master Drallig harbored no illusions that he would be able to defeat Anakin by himself, he knew that his skills were at least sufficient enough to, perhaps, hold off the newest Sith long enough for some in the Temple to escape.
A course of action decided upon, Master Drallig flicked out his hand and sent a small ball of energy in the direction of Anakin's body. He didn't think it would hit the Sith, but then again that was not the point of the attack. As Skywalker batted the blast of energy aside with a sneer a second and much more powerful ball of energy slammed into the ground at his feet. Caught unawares, Darth Vader was hurled several feet backwards, though he landed on his feet through the Force.
Few words were exchanged between Anakin and Cin as they dueled furiously in the main atrium of the Temple. In truth, Anakin was mildly surprised that he was having so much trouble in dealing with the pesky swordsman. Twice Anakin's blue blades had come perilously close to scoring a killing blow on Master Drallig only to be turned away at the very last instant by Cin.
Slowly the two Jedi circled one another in what was becoming a well-worn circle on the atrium floor. Once in awhile one or the other of the two men would feint in to test the defenses of his opponent before withdrawing. Given his extensive knowledge of lightsaber combat Master Drallig had adopted an interesting mix of Jar'Kai and Soresu and so far it had proven successful in delaying Anakin Skywalker from getting past him and further into the Temple proper.
With the suddenness of an attacking gundark, Anakin leaped high into the air using the Force. Seeing the move, Master Drallig attempted to back away from Anakin in an attempt to keep the newest Sith in front of him. As Anakin came down he brought one of his blue blades crashing into the raised defenses of Master Drallig who had formed an X in the air with his emerald lightsabers to catch and deflect the attack. Seeing what could be one of the only openings in Drallig's defenses that he was likely to get, Anakin quickly slipped the blade in his off hand under the defenses of Master Drallig, the cerulean blade lancing through the throat of the Jedi Master who collapsed to the ground, the lightsabers in his hands deactivating as they rolled from his now lifeless fingers. Deactivating the blade that he had used to kill Master Drallig, Anakin flung it down unceremoniously upon the corpse of the now dead blade master.
With the pesky obstacle finally removed from his path, Anakin headed in the direction of his next stop in the Temple, the Jedi Council chambers. He knew that the younglings had been trained to go to those chambers if something like this every happened and it would be easy to quickly dispatch several of them in those chambers in a short period of time. It was easy for Anakin to reach the chambers relatively unimpeded since the Clones obviously weren't shooting at him, and most of the elder Jedi would not expect their attackers to head for the most likely empty chambers right away.
As Anakin entered the council chambers one of the younglings in there approached what he thought was a friend. "Master Skywalker," the youngling began. "There's too many of them, what are we to do."
Choosing to offer no answer, Anakin activated his own lightsaber and cleanly bisected the head of the youngling that had asked the question. Too late the children realized that Master Skywalker was not there to help them. But, since none of them had yet reached a point in their training where they would have constructed a lightsaber they could offer very little in the way of defense other than terrified cries and pleas that he spare their lives. Pleas that went ignored as Anakin moved methodically around the room butchering the younglings where they stood, or in most cases, cowered before him unable to escape. When he had completed the grisly task Anakin departed from the Council Chambers along the route that would take him most quickly to the Dormitories where the younglings were housed. After all, in order to ensure that a nest of gundarks was cleansed the young had to be dealt with first.
Jedi Temple
Youngling Dormitory
Cazak was taking a nap while waiting for his Master. He had learned to conserve energy this way, and hoped to learn the hibernation skill. But his sleep was uneasy. He had dreams of screaming, of betrayal, of all he held dear destroyed. He woke up, panting, heaving great breaths. He looked at the other younglings, his friends. They seemed all right. All seemed peaceful. But by a sense beyond sense, he knew it was not so, and he felt the overpowering urge to run and hide.
"Go! Hide! Enemies are coming!" he chattered. Most of them laughed at him. "Cazak's jumping at shadows again!" one said. But Cazak couldnn't wait. He leaped up, opening a ventilation shaft, then closing it behind him. As he scurried down the shaft, he heard sounds of explosions. Then he paused. He heard one of his closest friends say "Master Skywalker..." His ears perked up, and he turned to go back. Surely his role model, his hero, would find a way to make sense of it. But then, a voice sounded in his head, a familiar one. Don't go there, young Cazak. All depends upon it. RUN! He obeyed, and ran. This guide had never steered him wrong. But as he did, the world stood still, and he felt it. Many voices crying out in horror, only to be extinguished one by one. Feelings of betrayal. Of...Anny?
He caught his breath. For several tense moments, he waited, and listened. Then it ceased. He turned back, the scream frozen in his throat, refusing to let loose.
He came to the grate, only to see what defied his belief. His hero, Anakin Skywalker, killing the last youngling in the room, then leaving. It couldn't be! That nightmare was coming true, and he was in the middle of the hideous scene. He lay there in shock. Then, he opened the grate. All was silence. All of his friends lay on the floor, dead, killed by the ligtsaber of his hero. He stood, numb, then tears flowed down his furry face. Anger rose up at this betrayal. How could he?
He stepped out of the room and into the hall. Jedi, Padawan youngling lay there dead. Was he the only one? Nearby, a dead Jedi lay there, his lightsaber rolled out of his hand. Cazak picked it up and tuurned it on. He wanted to turn it on himself to end this pain, but he couldn't. If he was truly the last, he owed it to the dead to continue the battle. Raising the lightsaber in his hand, bathed in its crimson light, he made a vow. "This is for all of you. I will carry your memories with me. I will become a Jedi, and avenge you all. By all I hold dear, I swear it!"
Cazak, as young as he was, as inexperienced, didn't know the deadly peril he was in, nor how close he was to slipping over to the Dark Side himself, as Anakin had done. He lowered the lightsaber and tightly closed his eyes, tears still streaming down his face. Yet a determination was on his countenance.
He didn't know another Jedi heard him and saw him, and knew his peril. One destined to be his master. But would that Master be in time?

Jedi Archives
Arali wandered around the Jedi Archives in a mostly aimless fashion, her garments making a soft swishing sound as she moved between work stations, shelves crammed with books and holocrons, and the occasional statue. Part of now being one of the apprentices to Master Nu was that the Twi'leki Padawan was having to acquaint herself far more intimately with the Jedi Archives than she ever had in the past as Master Gallia's pupil. Of course, the days of gallivanting off from one corner of the galaxy to the other had ended when Master Gallia had been killed during the Battle of Boz Pity. On returning to Coruscant, Arali had found herself becoming one of the Padawans to Master Nu and, in truth, Arali was not overly troubled by the fact that a great deal of her time was now spent in the Archives.
The green-skinned Twi'lek was pulled from her musings by the very audible sound of the massive doors that led into the Archives slamming shut and then, surprisingly, locking themselves. It was very odd for Master Nu to be closing and locking down the Archives at this time of the day, it wasn't much past mid-afternoon. "Padawan Returyl," the voice of Jocasta Nu barked over the echos of the doors closing reverberating around the Archives. "I need you at once!"
If the doors closing at this time of day was odd, the fact that Master Nu was shouting through the Archives was an even bigger shock. Truthfully, Arali had possessed some doubts that Master Nu could speak much above a loud stage whisper. "Coming," Arali called, raising her own voice to call back. Master Nu couldn't be too mad about her yelling in the Archive, after all the Master had done it first.
Quickly, Arali darted through the Archives in the direction of Master Nu's voice and within a moment she stopped before her Master who was standing in the midst of a small crowd of Padawans and a few Jedi Knights. Both Master Nu and the assembled Knights had their lightsabers drawn, the various colored blades humming softly. Instantly, the Padawan could sense that something was wrong. "What is it Master," she asked.
"We're not sure," Jocasta replied, indicating herself and the other members of the Jedi Order that had their lightsabers drawn. "But something is very wrong."
Master Nu's words were underscored by sounds that could be heard coming from the other side of the doors. One of those sounds was the unmistakable sound of AT-RT walker feet on coming towards the Archive doors, another was the clear sound of blaster fire. The noise was enough that the Padawans all had their weapons up and at the ready, including Arali who abhorred having to use her guard shotos in any fashion.

Faaral, who was busy at a terminal yelped as it cut off her access, at the same time the loud THUNK of the doors being closed.
She stood up and made her way to the sounds of the others gathering, the yelling made her quicken her step.
Keeping her mouth shut--For Once--,she picked up the information, drawing her hood back from her head allowed her to see better,
the Padawan braid dangling from the side of her head as she drew and activated her lightsaber, the golden glow silhouetting her orange fur.
"that door is not going to hold for long. we have got to get out of here" she commented as the sounds grew louder, stating what was apparently the obvious judging by the looks she received from the quip

Corridors
Cazak stood there, drowned in his grief over his lost friends, of all he held dear. The poor Chikar would have to grow up faster than he had desired, he still had a lot of childhood to live, but it was now gone past recall, thanks to Master Skywalker.
He opened his eyes and took the weapons belt from the dead Jedi and adjusted it to his size, attatching the light saber to it. "Forgive me, my master. I will bear it in your honor."
Cazak took one last look behind at the carnage left by the one who had murdered his friends. Another surge of anger took him, and a nearby vase shattered. "I will destroy him if it is the last thing I do." he grumbled. He was lucky he didn't meet him, as it would have been the last thing he did. He still didn't know how closely he was flirting with the Dark Side, but already, there were subtle voices enticing him to give into his anger, only then would he be powerful enough to destroy the one who had done this.
He left the hallway and went in search of anybody who could help him. He hoped his master was alive. He jumped up and re-entered the ventilation shafts. He was a born navigator, and was one who wouldn't get lost in the maze of tunnels. He had often played hide-and-seek in this manner. He still felt the shock of those who were still fighting and dying at the hands of the clones or of Darth...whoever it was. It was not his friend and hero anymore.
He went as quiet as the rodent he was. His feelings were searching out for any who could help him. Then he paused at a grate and saw Master Doret. She would know what to do, unless she had gone mad like Master Skywalker had. He dropped down. "Master, I have terrible news for you. Master Skywalker has gone mad and killed all my friends. I alone escaped, as far as I know." He gritted his teeth. "I swore to avenge them. That...thing...won't get away with it. He betrayed us all!" Another surge of anger went through him and receded like a wave.
Only Master Doret would be able to keep poor Cazak from making that fatal step towards the Dark Side, but it would take all her skill. He was closer to falling than he knew. He burst into tears again. His emotions were in chaos, despite all his training by Master Yoda. They were swinging between anger, sorrow, and multiple others.

Hallway Near Main Atrium
"Cazak," Master Doret said in a soft soothing tone, "where did you get that lightsaber?" Deftly the Master reached out with the Force and gently plucked the lightsaber from the youngling, who certainly had no business wielding such a weapon. "You cannot have such things," she said soothingly to the child, attaching the blade to her own belt.
Once the lightsaber had been secured Master Doret knelt next to the youngling, so she would be on his level, grateful that the Clones had not yet penetrated into this particular hallway. No doubt they had other, more pressing, targets that they were going to be dealing with. Keela was also well aware that Cazak had followed Anakin around, as had many of the younglings who had idolized the youngest member of the Jedi Council.
"Anakin Skywalker is dead," Master Doret told the youngling in what she hoped was a soothing tone. "He has fallen to the Dark Side of the Force, so the Jedi we knew as Anakin Skywalker is no longer living. He has died. But, we must not allow ourselves to give in to our own feelings of anger, fear, and hate. If we do we will become that which has destroyed him." Master Doret finished speaking and stood up. "Now come Cazak, we must go to the dormitories and see if there are yet any survivors. We will be leaving the Temple for a new home. Perhaps there will be others, perhaps just we two. Come along."

Headed in the Direction of the Dormitory
A twinge of resentment went through Cazak when Doret took the lightsaber from him. "I do not understand, Master." said Cazak as he walked beside Doret. "And I picked up the lightsaber from Goloft, who had been killed. I gave my word I would use it in his honor, to avenge him and the others who had been killed by Anny. I cannot go back on my word, I swore an oath."
He was still young, and not in control of his feelings. Grief was great within him. His former hero must be destroyed for what he did.
"I am glad you at least are still alive. I thought I was all alone. I had to do what I can, and I do want to help. By all that I hold dear, I will become a Jedi, and will avenge those that have been killed." His face was still wet with his tears. He repeated his oath that he had spoken earlier.
But he padded along beside the Master on the way back to the dormitories, his ears perked up and sniffing for any signs of life, as well as feeling for any. It would take some effort, however, to draw him back from the brink that he was near.
He saw Master Mira Star in the distance, sensing her before he saw her. She would help, he hoped, and not hinder him. And still those enticing voices urging him to give in to his anger, to hate, despite what Master Doret had told him ,whispered to him. Only then would he be powerful enough to destroy the traitor, they said. His will was uncorrupted still, he didn't yet obey these voices, but poisonous shapes were beginning to form in his imagination.

Tek grunted in agony as he dragged himself through the ventilation shaft. He'd been hit multiple times. If he was dealing with anything other then blaster wounds, he would have bled to death by now. He heard the hum of lightsabers and the whisper of voices below and decided to take his chances. As far as he knew Anikan was the only Jedi who had turned to the dark side, so the odds were in his favor and he needed medical assistance.
He unbolted the grate with the force, and dropped through landing with a loud crash as one of the many desks in the Jedi Archives broke his fall (and it felt like his back too.)
"Oooooaf!" he grunted.

Arali wasn't alone as she spun, her guard shotos at the ready, at the sound of first a grate and then a Nautolan wearing clothing that indicated that he was a Jedi Knight. "By the goddess," Arali breathed in shock as the Jedi crushed one of the study desks when he landed on it. Immediately several of the Padawans and Vokara Che crossed to the man.
"Back up," Che snapped, roughly shifting one of the Padawans out of the way. The Twi'lek Jedi knelt at Tek's side and reached out through the Force to probe his injuries. "You should be dead," she said brusquely to the downed Jedi as the sounds of the ARC troopers trying to blast through the heavy doors of the Archives.
Behind Vokara several of the Padwans began to murmur amongst themselves, their voices rising to a troubled buzz behind the Jedi Healer. "I said quiet," she snapped waspishly at the Padawans. "Go to Master Nu, she will give you instruction."
Arali shrugged and headed back in the direction of the other Jedi along with the Padawans that had run to check on Tek, leaving the Temple's Chief Healer to see to the Jedi, who's name she was unfamiliar with. Deactivating her shotos, Arali re-clipped them to her belt and quietly wondered where her sparring partner Maris Brood was. After all, Master Shaak Ti was at the Temple right now. No doubt Maris was with her Master.
Once the Padawans had dispersed and left Vokara in relative quiet she returned to her examination of Tek. "You do, of course, realize there's no time to do a complete healing. But, we can't leave you like this either," she said, tsking at the Nautolan. "You will not be fighting here anymore," she continued, starting to dump Force energy into Tek. It wouldn't be a complete healing, but it would be enough that he could run and lead the Padawans, hopefully out of the Temple. "Whatever Master Nu decides to do with the Padawans, you will do also. They will need a leader to complete their training."
Once Vokara had done as much as she could in the little time she had she leaned back slightly and the patted one of the blaster burns on Tek's body. No doubt, that would cause him some pain but the Twi'leki woman wanted to make sure that the Jedi Knight got the right message. "Now, get over there and listen to Master Nu." Standing, Vokara returned to the group of Jedi standing near the doors as the sounds of blaster fire intensified.
"Master! I don't know how much longer we can hold these doors," one of the handful of Jedi Knights standing near the Archive Entrance yelled out.
"Padawans, over here," Master Nu said in an authoritative and no nonsense tone, a tone that Arali had heard her use many times before. Quickly the Jedi students gathered around Master Nu. "As you can all tell, quite clearly, the Temple is under attack. When those doors," she gestured to the Archive doors, "give way, these Archives are going to be turned into a war zone. Arali," she snapped, turning to her Apprentice. "You are to lead the Padawans out through the back way that we use to navigate through the Archives. It should be relatively free of enemies. You will make your way to the Hanger Bay and flee via a roundabout path to the Cyax System. Have you read those files on Hutt Space like I instructed you to?"
Arali nodded dutifully. "Yes Master, I believe I know where you wish for us to go," she replied softly.
"Good, once things are settled at the Temple I will contact you to return to the Temple. Is that understood," Nu asked, looking around at the Padawans. They nodded their assent. "Good, I and the other senior Jedi will hold the attackers off while you escape."

Entering the Dormitory
Keela felt Cazak's flash of anger when she took the saber from him, yet another justification for her to have done so in her mind. She was, however, pleased that the boy seemed to quash it relatively quickly. "Vengeance is a path to the Dark Side of the Force. Would Goloft wish for you to turn to the Dark Side," she asked, continuing to lead him in the direction of the dormitories.
As they neared the dormitories, through a back route, Keela was pleased to see that the ARC troopers had still not yet found their way into the side passages. "If you would use the weapon for vengeance, that is one more reason you should not have it. When you have been taught to properly use a lightsaber and have constructed your own then we shall see about you having Goloft's blade, not before," the Master continued in a tone that brokered that there would be no arguing on this point.
Arriving at the Dormitory Keela led Cazak inside and followed the ripples through the Force until she came upon Master Star. "Master Star, are there any other survivors," Keela asked, skipping the pleasantries and getting right to the heart of the matter.

[Dormitory]
Mira had just gone down to her knees, looking under one of the beds when she sensed the presence of two other individuals. She popped her head up to see who else was with Keela. It was the chetik youngling, Cazak.
"I've got one that I'm trying to coax out from under the bed." Mira replied, then popped back down.
"Look Dobby, you need to come out of there; it is time to leave immediately!" she said with great urgency.
The gran youngling looked at Master Star, curled up into a small ball. "Time to go? Do I get to go home?" she asked, her three bright eyes shining from the reflected light under the bed.
Mira shook her head, "No, not at the moment Dobby, we've got to leave here and find a new home. Cazak is here with Master Doret."
"Cazak is here?" with that, Dobby was out from under the bed and running over to Cazak's side.
Standing up from her crouched position, Mira reported "I came across Dobby while searching for those not caught in the devastation."
Mira looked down at Cazak, feeling the war of emotions within him, so much for a young one to have seen.

S'yndar was traversing through one of the myriad halls of the Jedi Temple as he often did after his lessons with his master. His master had cut the lessons short for some reason and sent the young Vurk on his way.
S'yndar didn't ask him for any reason as to why he was dismissed and he took it in stride. After all, there was something he wanted to go see in the Atrium. As the padawan went to go near the atrium something flashed off to his left from a window that over looked the Atrium. To his dismay, S'yndar saw the murderous mayhem that was beseiging his comrades, being cut down by blaster fire.
S'yndar caught some motion from behind and noticed his master going down a passageway. Moving quickly S'yndar followed only to feel himself shoved back as his master went into attack hold back clone troopers who were coming up the stairways. He felt in his mind a warning from his master.
"Get to the dormitories grab your stuff and run!" was the urgent message.
S'yndar obeyed and went through a side passage which led to the other stairs leading up to the dorms. He noticed Eld Harl the newest Jedi Knight coming down the stairs his lightsabers ignited.
"There is trouble afoot in the temple" S'yndar stated, his own lightsaber at the ready. "My master told me that I needed to grab my gear and go."

Faaral nodded then thought for a moment "i have a bad feeling" she said
Picking up a data crystal she went to a terminal and hit a few keys, bringing it back online on the local level, the archive itself, the holonet was cut off, she then inserted the data crystal and did a memory transfer, dumping files of training and history onto it, making out its memory capasity, pulling the crystal out again she wrapped it up in cloth and put it inside a pocket of her robes, making her way back to the group and following behind Arali.
"you really think we will ever be able to return to the Temple? they are doing their best it seems to kill us all, they are not going to leave this place intact i think...." she said

Cazak was glad to see Master Star. At least she would understand his need to help. The other Master was only interested in rules, he felt. Didn't he realize these were desperate times, and required desperate measures? And breaking his word was unthinkable. But he kept these thoughts to himself. But then he saw beyond hope, Dobby coming out from under the bed, running to him. "DOBBY, YOU'RE ALIVE!" he cried and ran to her, hugging the stuffing out of her. "I thought Master Skywalker killed all of you. It's horrible. He turned traitor and..." Another wave of anger went through him, and two more vases nearby shattered. The wave receded once more, and he burst into tears. "...and he was my hero, why did he do that. I swear I won't lose you. I'll protect you, I'll protect you all." The wave of anger that had receded was stronger, a harbinger of things to come, and they would get stronger yet. If Master Star didn't do something soon, they would become a tsunami which would engulf poor Cazak.
He was unaware of what he had just done, until he saw the shards on the floor, and he was frightened. "What was that?" he whispered. A dark, seductive voice sounded in his mind. It's your destiny, young Cazak. Give in to it, and you will make them pay for their dirty work. But another voice sounded, his guide who had faithfully led him. Don't listen, Cazak. Yes, that is how it would begin, but it would not end with that. It is the way to the Dark Side.
He protested to nobody in particular, "But I'm just a kid!" He looked to Master Star, hoping she would help him. "I'm sorry, Dobby, it's just something I need to work out." Yet that feeling he had for a fraction of a second felt good in a way. That thought frightened him, and he wanted to crawl under the bed himself and not come out, like Dobby had done. "We need to stick together, and maybe we can help the grownups."

Tek hoisted himself into a sitting position, grunting in pain. That got him a sharp look from Vokara. He mouthed sorry and winced as he got to his feet in silence. He drew his lightsaber from his belt and reactivated it.
Nervously, he twirled his blade in a circle beside him. The low hum it made as it moved distracted him from the madness that was occurring. A Sith Lord in the galactic senate, Anikan (the chosen one!) falling to the Dark Side, the clones turning against the Jedi. What in the galaxy's name was going on!

"There is trouble afoot in the temple" S'yndar stated, his own lightsaber at the ready. "My master told me that I needed to grab my gear and go."
"Clones have attacked the Temple," the Kel Dor stated succinctly. "If you require no further gear beyond your lightsaber and robes I suggest we make our way to the lower levels of the Dormitories. I can feel the presence of Masters Doret and Star. If you require anything from your rooms gather it and meet us at the side stair exit nearest to the hanger bay," Eld continued, issuing orders to the Padawan. Even though S'yndar was not his student, as the Kel Dor had yet to take a Padawan, there was still the fact that as a Jedi Knight Eld outranked S'yndar in the grand scheme of things so the young Vurk should listen.
Sliding past S'yndar on the stairs the Kel Dor made his way down to the ground level and followed his senses, and the voices, until he at last came upon the group in question. "Masters, are there any other survivors," he asked, looking between the two Masters and the two Younglings.
"For the moment, there are still many in the Temple... I still sense the presence of Masters Nu, Piell, and Shaak Ti, though they are elsewhere pursuing their own agendas in the crisis. For now, our path is clear. We must make our way to the Hanger and escape," Keela replied, Eld's entrance interrupting what she had been about to say to Cazak regarding the youngling's outburst.
Eld nodded in agreement. "Padawan S'yndar is gathering some gear, I've instructed him to meet us down here."

"Where do you think you're going," Vokara snapped at Tek as he reactivated his lightsaber. "I already told you to go with the Padawans and it wasn't a polite suggestion," the Twi'leki healer continued, pointing a finger in the direction of the retreating Padawans as they made their way towards the back of the Archives. "Go on, NOW!"

"You really think we will ever be able to return to the Temple? They are doing their best it seems to kill us all, they are not going to leave this place intact I think..."
"It's hard to say," Arali replied nervously, leading the group quickly to the back of the Archives and to a nondescript door hidden in a small alcove. "Come, this way," the green skinned Twi'leki girl said, pushing the door open and slipping through.

Tek reluctantly deactivated his weapon and hung it back on his belt, before retreating along with the Padawans. He didn't want to leave his home, the only one he remembered, and his comrades, but Vokara was right. He was being short sighted. The young inexperienced Padawans would need guidance. The coming days were going to be difficult and it would be easy after seeing the atrocities of the day for the undisciplined to fall prey to the dark side. That was the last thing that was needed now.
"Come!" he shouted to a Padawan who was lagging behind.
The Wookie turned and nodded before running to catch up with the rest of the fleeing Jedi.

"The hangar?" said Cazak, looking up hopefully. "We're leaving to find a new home as you said? I can help, Masters. You know I can navigate, and find my way in impossible situations. Even through an asteroid belt." He looked down. If he wasn't all furry, he would be as red as a beet. "Please don't think I'm bragging. At least I can do that if I can't fight." But he knew he could do that too,if they gave him a chance.

Hidden Passage
Jedi Temple
after Faaral ducked into the passage way she looked around and sniffed the air, using more conventional means in the lieu of force talents as she could feel the Fallen Chosen one reaching out and sensing for them. pausing she held out one hand.
"at least 12 cloneies just outside this passage in the corridor outside. also it would be a good idea not to use the Force at this time...can't you feel Him reaching out like a scanner for us?"
she looked around at the frightened Padawans "i know its not my place to lead, but all i know is that using the force would be like sending out signal flares...lets not use it unless we have to."
she kept moving to place as much room between them and the archives as possible.

Jedi Temple
Main Hangar
Resquar was busy tuning up one of the ships, her pride and joy. They'd see what she was capable of, keeping these babies in line. Let the others of her kind contemplate the life cycle and love life of the Koranian fruit fly. Boooooring! Life was too exciting to worry about such things. She didn't know just how exciting it would become when the distant sound of explosions and blaster fire met her ears.
"What the krepzat?!?" she exclaimed. "What have those crazy Jedi concocted this time? Just when I'm run off my feet. " But she looked out, feeling for her blaster to make sure. She wasn't in the pay of the Jedi for nothing. And if things were going down, they'd need a quick getaway.

Tek nodded his agreement with the Padawan. He signaled for them to stay back as he ventured forward to recon the trooper patrol. He drew his lightsaber from his belt and flicked it on, the black blade leaping from the metallic handle. This got the clones attention as they opened fire on the lone Jedi Knight. He deflected their blasts back at them as one by one they fell. Tek Nor sliced his weapon through the air with lightening speed and expert precision. Finally only a few were left as they began retreating down the passageway.
"Come on. No doubt they will be reporting our position back to Skywalker. We must hurry"

OOC: No worries Faaral. Tek, don't take this post the wrong way your post was fine, Arali is just very much a pacifist.
Jedi Temple
Near the Main Hanger
Arali stopped when Faaral indicated that the group should stop and listened as the other Padawan talked about what she sensed. The Twi'leki girl might have been able to lead the group around the ARC troopers, but the Jedi Knight that was with them had passed them and then attacked the group. So much for trying to sneak by them and avoid the conflict.
Within a few moments the Nautolan Jedi had dispatched most of the clones and the others were beating a hasty retreat. No doubt, as Tek had pointed out, they were signaling for back-up as they retreated up the corridor in the direction of the Hanger.
"Well, let's go. No point in hanging around here," the green-skinned Padawan said, leading the group quickly up the hall. As they neared the last corner before they would come into sight of the main entrance into the Hanger Bay Arali slowed and then stopped, signaling the others to do the same.
Quickly, she poked her head around the corner and looked in the direction of the entrance before pulling her head back. "They've got a small battalion there," she hissed to the others in a low town. "A pair of AT-PT's and at least 50 ARCs." She looked around the group and did a quick head count. One Jedi Knight and three Padawans, one of whom was not a great swordsman and another that would probably be an easy target thanks to his size. After all, Wookies weren't known as one of the shorter races in the galaxy. "We need a plan."

Mira watched in silence as Cazak embraced the gran youngling and things shattering with his release of emotions.
Dobby looked up at Cazak, "You are upset and that's not good." she said.
Mira looked at Cazak at his eagerness to help. "Patience young one you'll be able to prove yourself as time goes by.
Looking over to Keela, "I do agree that we need to make our way to the hangar and hopefully link up with others who will find their way."
Jedi Temple
Dormitory
S'yndar looked at Eld and nodded,moving to get his gear. On the way out of his room the padawan wondered about his master and how he was doing. His wondering didn't last long as he saw his master running down the hall then turning to deflect blaster bolts.
"S'yndar why are you still here?" his master's voice came into his mind.
"I just got my gear, master." S'yndar responded. "Master lookout!" as he saw another clone trooper pop up from a side passage way and shot towards the two Jedi. Soon others were joining up in the hall with the others. The hall filling with blaster fire.
His master turned into a whirling dervish, deflecting and reflecting shots back at the clone troopers. He cleared a path in his wake, urging S'yndar to leave. "Leave now and this time don't come back, don't look back.And may the Force be with you." he said. as more clone trooper came to take the place of those who had fallen.
S'yndar obeyed as more blaster shots were heard some following after him as he escaped.... it was just as he got to the rendezvous point that he felt his master cut down. He staggered almost falling, feeling the loss. He gasped out to those there.
"We've got to leave now the clone troopers are not far behind."

Cazak listened to Dobby and shook his head. "I can't help it, Dobby. Seeing all my other friends killed, and by Anny of all people, it just makes me see red whenever I think of it. I feel..." glancing at Mira again, "...lost." That was a slip, revealing his true state at the moment. Something about Mira's presence made him say the truth about what he felt. How he wanted to confide in her, but not in the presence of that annoying Keela.
Cazak found himself starting to envy the dead. At least they were at peace, at one with the Force. Not like him, who was left behind to deal with all the turmoil he was experiencing at the moment. It appeared that killing the younglings wasn't the most evil thing Anakin had done that day. For Cazak was damaged inside, the control he had learned under Master Yoda slipping away, and he couldn't stop it. Vader had robbed him of his childhood in one fell swoop, and Cazak could hate him for it. He was edging closer to the brink, overlooking the chasm of which was the Dark Side. It wouldn't take much of a nudge to throw him over the edge. "I need your help." he whispered, glancing back and forth between Dobby and Mira, trying to avoid the gaze of Keela.

"Cazak." Mira caught him with the calm gaze of her violet eyes."You must exercise better control."
She looked over to Keela,then back down to Cazak. "It is indeed a time of trial but you must learn to control your anger, you are young but, it is important that you calm yourself."
She paused and turned towards the door where the Vurk Padawan, S'yndar just arrived grasping at the door. She also felt the pang from the loss of yet another Jedi.
"Master Doret, we had better make haste, if we are to escape" Mira said.
Dobby looked at Cazak, "Please be calm, it isn't good for your blood pressure." something she heard said to another person a while back ago.

"How?" he said quietly. "I wish I could. You ask the impossible." He didn't understand. He wasn't a droid,able to shut off his feelings at a moment's notice. Just stop feeling or caring. How he wished he could, it would stop hurting. But he looked at Dobby. He didn't want to lose his only friend left. That is, unless Resquar was still alive. That was where they were going, at the main hangar. That was a feisty old bird. If anybody could survive, she could.
But they needed to get away quickly, before that.....thing....returned. And he did want to help. How could he prove his worth if nobody would let him? He felt like useless baggage. And yet, he was glad for his friends. Dobby and Mira were two islands of refuge in the midst of this raging storm.
Mira had quite the little problem on her hands, and it was growing bigger.

Jedi Temple
Main Hangar
Resquar was still alive, of course, and she was having a wild idea. The ship's sensors were active, and she could tell that just outside the main hangar, it was teeming with clone troopers. Just what was going on? It also detected four people on the outskirts trying to get in.
She with just a blaster might not survive, but what about the ship's weaponry? She grinned, a mischievous glint in her eyes. She'd have a little surprise for the clones if they tried anything. Of course, she might get a talking to by the Jedi Masters, but it was worth it. In her eyes, there were three sides to the Force. The light side, which this temple professed to believe in, the dark side that they warned against, and then...there was the Dull Side, which the Masters here were on. Without trying, they could bore a person to sleep. But she tolerated their ways, after all, they paid well and did a lot of good in the Clone Wars.

Tek concentrated and invaded the clones minds. He knew using a force cloak would draw Anikan to them, but they were out of options.
"Everyone in a single file. Stay close and keep as quiet as possible. Your lives depend upon it."
The Jedi led his charges past the armada of clone troopers, praying that Anikan was far enough away that they could reach a starship before he reached them, for he surely knew where they were now.

S'yndar straightened himself up, recovering from the pain he felt from the loss of his master. He looked at the youngling Chetik. "Don't fret yourself, youngling its not impossible."
He walked over to stand beside Eld,"I am ready to go." Then looked at the others.
Mira nodded in approval towards S'yndar, then placed a hand on Cazak's shoulder, "Listen he is right it isn't impossible. I do understand what you are feeling, however you must strive to keep the darkside from consuming you."
Dobby moved over to give Cazak a hug. "It will get better, I know it will."
"All right, we have not found any other survivors here, time to depart." With that Mira walked out of the dormitory, her robes swirling about her, heading through yet another side passageway towards the hangar.

"I will try, Master Star, but it's so hard." He was glad for Dobby as well. "You don't know how much that means to me, Dobby. I'm just so lost right now."
Cazak didn't know it was going to get a whole lot worse before it got better. A crisis was approaching where he would have to make a final choice. There were powerful forces tugging him this way and that that were stronger than he was. One fatal step and he would be following in Anakin's footsteps. He had repeatedly in the past said he wanted to be like his hero Anakin, but not like this.
But he went along with the rest, at Dobby's side, on the way to the main hangar. "Let's just hope Resquar is there waiting for us, and not Anny."

OOC: I have something planned for this group... don't you worry.
Corridors
Jedi Temple
Master Doret nodded as Master Star exited from the Dormitory and moved to bring up the rear, placing the younglings, Padawan, and Eld between the two masters. Keela was pleased to see that Eld had stationed himself near the two younglings. Since neither of the children had weapons of their own, Keela having relieved Cazak of a lightsaber, it was good that one of the more proficient young swordsmen in the order had seemingly taken it upon himself to guard the two children.
For his part, the stoic Kel Dor Jedi Knight remained quiet and pensive as the group began to make its way in the direction of the hanger. Where they would go and what they would do now that they were leaving the Temple, likely for good, was something that the Kel Dor did not know. If nothing else he suspected that the Baran Do sect on his homeworld would provide at least some aid to the Jedi if possible, though he knew that they would not be able to stay with the Baran Do indefinitely. To do so would be to risk bringing harm upon the peaceful sect.
Eld also wondered what would become of the Padawan and two younglings that were with them. Their training would need to be continued, and the Kel Dor had doubts as to his ability to teach them. Especially the younglings. The last thing that Eld wanted was to be responsible for training a young child, he didn't really want to be responsible for teaching a Padawan that was S'yndar's age either, but that would certainly be preferable to teaching one of the children. Teaching the younglings would be too much like babysitting, a task that the Kel Dor was ill suited for.

Hanger Bay
Jedi Temple
Arali quietly followed in the wake of the Jedi Knight as he led them past the Clones guarding the hanger. She assumed that if anyone was going to give away their position it would be the large Wookie among them, after all the Wookie's weren't known for their grace or stealth. They were, however, known for pulling people's arms out of socket when they lost various games.
Quietly, the group slipped past the troopers and into the Hanger. Quickly, Arali looked around for a craft that would suit their purposes. A quick glance told her their best bet was probably the Silver Flame, a TL-1800 freighter whose owner escaped Arali at the moment. "That one," she hissed quietly at the others, heading in the direction of the ship.

Faaral followed suit, feeling the Clones blissfully unaware of the jedi in their mist, trying to concentrate their efforts elsewhere.
spying the starship she made her way, sticking close to the master, her ears and other senses sniffing out the activity her eyes could not see, including the sound of one clones apparently urinating in his suit from the sound of it, thank the heavens and all the deities therein that the clone trooper armor had a built in recycling system that did not need to have the smell come out.
she looked at Arali and mouthed in basic yet silent "i hope we get out of this alive" the fear in her mind growing as her instincts were telling her to bolt and find a hiding hole until it blew over, but that would just get her killed, the fear showing in her eyes

Jedi Archives
Jedi Temple
Despite the best efforts of the Jedi in the Archives the doors could only take so much punishment. With an almighty crash they were, at last, blasted from their hinges by the concussive force of several thermal detonators. With a pair of loud clangs the doors fell to the ground and Clones poured through the breach in the Archives' defenses, pouring fire into the handful of Jedi.
One by one the Jedi fell until at last the troopers had cleansed the presence of the Jedi from the Temple archives. That done, the Troopers began a methodical process of going through the Archives, copying all of the data they could find, and then deleting or destroying as much as they could.

Resquar was there at the ramp of the freighter, waving them over to make haste. "Come on, dearies, time's a wasting, "she said as quietly as she could. "And don't look so surprised. You know where you can stuff those Jedi mind tricks. They don't work on the likes of me. I've got a more impressive trick." As she led them into the ship, she produced a pack of cards. "Pick a card. Any card. No? Then come on, dearies."
She got into the pilot's seat. "Don't know what happened to make all those clones crazy like that, but I've got a little surpise planned if they try anything here. Any others coming? They may need a diversion."

"This can't be good."
Meditation tower
Jedi Temple
The shots and explosions that rang throughout the night, Blake found himself being thrown out of a meditation when the tower was rocked heavily harsh from below bringing him back to reality. He had been looking toward a night of quiet and expanding his senses, he had just begun when the attack on the temple came jolting him awake.
Since he was on one of the towers that sat above the temple itself, Blake was away from the explosion that hit the roof. Getting to his feet pulling free his lightsaber in the process as he felt the screams through the force as he was jolted by several deaths of Jedi, padawan and youngling both causing him to studder and fall against the wall as the tower wavered.
Hitting the call button to have the elevator come up however nothing happened after several minutes of waiting giving telling him that the power had probably been cut. Using the force he pushed the doors outward allowing a possible escape to the lower levels below to be revealed. Blake figured that given time the tower would either collapse or whoever was attacking would start looking for survivors as he looked down into the darkness with no real way to show if the lift had been on its way up or if it was at the bottom.
Reaching out with the force, he looked for a way down without having to try jumping to the lower levels, he found what seemed like a ladder system that lead to about 50 feet to where the lift lay blocking any real chance to get in without cutting his way out.
~I need to get down there, might as well get started on the climb.~ he thought leaving the room without another thought

Jedi Temple
Halfway between the Hanger and Dormitories
The small group of Jedi ran all out from the dormitories, intent on reaching their destination and then leaving Coruscant and the Temple. After all some of them had to survive and try to insure that the Order was not completely eradicated in the attack. With every passing moment the group came closer to their goal, and so far they had been lucky to not encounter any Clone troopers.
Unfortunately, that luck couldn't hope to hold out. Up ahead a full squad of Clone troopers, fourteen in all, rounded a corner and came within sight of the group of Jedi. There would be no way of avoiding conflict with this group of clones, the Jedi would be forced to fight.
Quickly, Eld and Keela moved up from their positions to stand in a line facing the troopers with Mira who was leading the group of Jedi. In a flash Eld's twin blades were out as was Keela's blue one and both Jedi began deflecting blaster shots as they came down the hallway towards the group. "We need a plan of attack," Keela barked to the others. "Thoughts?"

Jedi Temple
"We will, Master Nu had me studying Hutt Space for some kind of exercise. There's a system and a planet there that we'll be able to hide on. It's all uncharted, so we'll be really hard to find. Of course, that also means we're just going on rumors," Arali replied to Faaral, moving through the freighter to the cockpit where she encountered Resquar.
When the non-Jedi asked if there was anyone else coming Arali closed her eyes and reached out through the Force for a moment, feeling for the presence of other Jedi and trying to deduce their intentions. "Yes," she replied at last. "There is another group headed this way led by Masters Doret and Star and I think there is yet another Jedi Knight in the Temple also headed towards the Hanger Bay," the Twi'lek said. "We may have to create a diversion to help them slip past the Clones outside the doors. She closed her eyes and reached out again. "Anakin Skywalker is also moving in the direction of the Hanger, though more slowly than the others. I guess when you're as in tune with the Force as he is a few Clones aren't that big of a deal."

Resquar laughed. "A few clones aren't that big a deal to me, either." she said. For a non-Jedi, she was quite the wily bird. She already had half a dozen plans, all outrageous. "And you want a diversion? Just say when and hang on to your booties. I'll provide one they won't soon forget."
She was working the controls, preparing for the main event, watching the sensors for her move.

Halfway between the Dormitories and Hangar
Cazak saw the Clone troopers attacking. He wanted to help, not just be put aside like useless garbage. Eld and Keela were busy deflecting their fire. "We'll get out of this, Dobby, if I have to claw my way out." he said.
"How about you give us all weapons to fight them, a blaster or lightsaber or something." That slipped out. He was eyeing Goloft's lightsaber hanging on Keela's belt. "Or give us some rocks to throw." He was getting frustrated and impatient. He was being treated like he was something useless.

Meditation Spiral-lift tube
Jedi Academ
As soon as his feet touched the hard yet cool steel of the lift that was attached to the meditation tower that was above him, Blake finally let out a sigh of relief as the climb down was nearly over. During his descent to the temple, he could feel intense heat that came from the fires outside the spiral that was on top of the roof, began to emcompass the lift tube was starting to make the climb down more painful and sweat was beginning to dribble down his face and body.
The closed in space of the tube didn't bother him at all but the heat was him nearly drop the rest of the way to the lift. Down below the screams and cries of pain and death continue to come up through the lift tubes and through the force making it harder to making the descent a lot more difficult nearly making him fall twice. The feel to protect that had seemed to develop over time with his time at the academy, the innocent younglings and the others drove him to continue down as quickly as possible.
Activating his green blade that illuminated the dark tube that surrounded him, Blake aimed the blade downward slicing straight through the lift's actual roof, cutting a opening that was big enough to allow for him to drop down inside into a empty lift, thankfully. Outside the doors, he could hear the echoes of blaster fire dancing all around the cooridors, which allowed him to realize that there wasn't any attackers nearby.
Nevertheless that didn't mean that his want to protect was gone, but common sense made him reach into the door with the force looking for the release switch that lay on the inside of the door. He knew that cutting through the door would probably alert whoever was attacking the academy. During his descent, his mind continued to race with questions of who would actually attack the academy especially with so many defenders and how were they able to kill so many younglings & the padawans and Jedi Knights.
The mechanism was easy to find and release as the doors quickly opened with a whoosh opening to a horrorific sight before him. Bodies of several younglings & padawans lay scattered around with many of them with a training saber that lay nearby showing signs that they had tried to defend themselves against the attackers.
Many of them had blaster burns scattered across their lifeless bodies however that wasn't the most disturbing thing as the signs of cuts of a lightsaber along with burns where the wounds have closed...one slash. Taking in a deep breath, Blake started moving along the cooridor hoping to find survivors before they meet the same fate.
Deactivating the blade to his lightsaber but rather than reattach the hilt to his belt, he held it off to the side so not to injure himself or another, with his thumb near the activation switch he continued moving toward the main hall overlooking the entry way.
Once there, he found the scene even worse than he had intially seen before, below the Padawan's by the look of it, were deflecting blaster shots off to the walls harmlessly. However the sight of the attackers were the true shocker although it gave the reason why the attackers were able to take so many out.
"Clone Troopers?! What's going on? Why are they attacking Jedi?!" he growled with confusion when a sudden flare in the force caused Blake to duck as a shower of blaster bolts struck near him causing him to move away from the balcony quickly. However the bolts continued to follow him as it started edging him into a corner where the ceiling had collapsed from something hitting it.
Igniting his blade once more, Blake found that his only choice was to charge through the troopers ahead of him that were about to round the corner & leap to the floor below where he could hopefully disappear and get to a safer place.
Taking in that he had little choice, he drew up the force and started running toward the end using the force to accerlate him toward the end as the troopers came around the corner as he slashed at two of the troopers before his disappeared over the balacony.

Mira frowned slightly seeing the clone troopers, adding her own skills to the mix, deflecting and reflecting the shots back towards the clone troopers.
"Keela, (forgoing any formalities) I suggest that you and I deal with these clone troopers making an opening and have Eld get the others to the hangar, while we bring up the rear." Mira suggested.
Cazak saw the Clone troopers attacking. He wanted to help, not just be put aside like useless garbage. Eld and Keela were busy deflecting their fire. "We'll get out of this, Dobby, if I have to claw my way out." he said.
Dobby looked over and nodded. "I don't plan on going with out a struggle, Cazak."
"How about you give us all weapons to fight them, a blaster or lightsaber or something." That slipped out. He was eyeing Goloft's lightsaber hanging on Keela's belt. "Or give us some rocks to throw." He was getting frustrated and impatient. He was being treated like he was something useless.
"We don't really need weapons, watch me!" Dobby said as she concentrated and sent a clone trooper flying backwards. "See? Master Yoda taught me that.He said you can accomplish anything you set your mind to do."
S'yndar staying very close to the Younglings to help protect them spoke up,keeping a wary eye on the way they had come.
"We better do something as I'm sure we may find ourselves having to deal with the other troopers from the dormitory."

Two Cazaks, Part 1
Jedi Temple
Between Dormitories and Hangar
Cazak saw Dobby use a force push to knock away one of the Clones. "Way to go, Dobby!" he said. "I'll try it." Unfortunately for poor Cazak, his emotions were in chaos, first from what he had first seen that day, the way (in his eyes) that Master Doret was treating him like he wasn't trusted, and now this attack, this wasn't the time to do it.
But he focused his own concentration, screaming "GO AWAY!" A loose statue tore loose and slammed into some of the Clone Troopers. He was too close to the Dark Side to do any Force action safely. And this was the trigger for the crisis that was coming.
Horrible visions arose in his mind. Especially the fact he was still upset at Master Doret, one of the visions was of him snatching Goloft's lightsaber and bisecting him. The lightsaber trembled at the weapons belt.
Suddenly aware of what was happening, Cazak tried desperately to control the anger that was rising up within him, his teeth clenched in concentration, breathing deeply to expel the raging emotions. He was desperately fighting for control.
But then, the red lightsaber flew to his hand and he activated it. All he had to do was to strike with all his anger and his journey to the darkside would be complete.
But, to the surprise of any who was watching, he didn't strike. Instead, Cazak froze, as if he had been turned to stone. His eyes were blank, deep in a trance, nothing was showing of the deadly battle between Light and Dark that was raging in his spirit.
Cazak seemed to be watching from above, while he was struggling against the Dark Side. Once again, another horrible vision came to him, of his friends, Keela, Eld, Mira, and dear, sweet Dobby, laying dead at his feet, and of him laughing, looking like Anakin did when he saw the fallen Jedi killing his friends. He was horrified at the vision. He fought back with all his strength.
He wanted Mira, he wanted Dobby, he wanted Eld and even Keela. He was balanced between opposing forces of Dark and Light, and a choice was now offered him. "I will not turn." he said. "No! Never! NEVER!" Everything that was in him that could be called Cazak went into that cry, that utter rejection of the dreams of power, of the Dark Side, and the dreadful feeling of having played his last card washed over him.
He went back to his own consciousness, and deactivated Goloft's lightsaber, lowering it. But the strain was too much for the little Chikar, of all the events that were happening, of the turmoil that he had gone through, the deadly struggle he had just encountered. His eyes rolled back in his head. "D..Dobby..." he cheeped weakly. He collapsed on the floor, unconscious, still clutching the lightsaber so tightly that it couldn't be removed, even by the Force, without ripping his hands off.
He looked like he had just aged at least ten years. Yet he was not out of the woods yet. He had made his choice, to the Light Side and against the darkside, but another deadly battle awaited him. And after that, the long, painful road to recovery.

Two Cazaks, Conclusion
Jedi Temple (spirit level)
Between Dormitories and Hangar
Cazak found himself in the Jedi Temple, but he was alone. None of the bodies that were strewn on the floor, of Jedi and Padawan and youngling, none of the storm troopers, even his friends weren't there. He didn't realize yet that he was on another level, a levelof the mind or the spirit, another Jedi Temple where the Clone Troopers couldn't reach.
He padded through the halls, searching for anybody, still clutching Goloft's red lightsaber. Yet he sensed somebody was in the Temple with him. He turned a corner, on the way to the Hangar, to see if anybody was there, when somebody was there, blocking the way.
It was Cazak. But a Cazak that none of his friends would recognize. A cruel smile was on his face, his eyes glowing yellow with the Dark Side. He was also holding a lightsaber. The smile faded. "SO!" he growled. "You would reject me, would you? Betray the Dark Side, when I would deliver you to Darth Vader. I will make you pay, Cazak!"
"You can try." said Cazak, facing his darker self. He activated the lightsaber in his hand. So did Dark Cazak.
And so began a battle that only one would walk away from, in a way, a foreshadowing of the coming battle between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. The battle was fierce, the sabers blazing, attack and parry, counterattack and strike. It was going so fast and furious that it was impossible for one or both not to be killed.
Was this a re-enactment of the struggle Cazak had just undergone, or an anticipation of this, the true battle? Maybe both. Maybe neither. There were no hard and fast answers in the way of the Force.
At one moment, Cazak was prevailing, at another it was DC who was pressing his advantage.
Then, a clash seperated the two combatants. Dark Cazak struck with a blast of Force Lightning. Cazak tried to deflect it with his lightsaber, but he wasn't Mace Windu. He was only partially successful, and he was struck, falling.
Dark Cazak grinned, approaching for the kill, but then Cazak recovered, giving a force push like Dobby had done, throwing him back.
Given the moment's respite, Cazak stood his ground. With a cry of hate that stung Cazak's ears, Dark Cazak rushed to him, his lightsaber raised high, intending to end it once and for all.
Cazak waited calmly for the onslaught, at peace for the moment. Then, a lightning move. He twirled, giving a slash, bisecting Dark Cazak in the middle. The dark self exploded in a bright red eruption of Dark Side energy. Cazak fell down, his lighsaber falling from his hands, shielding his eyes. He was burnt and battered, but the storm passed. He sat up, then painfully got up.
Footsteps approached from the hangar. Cazak turned. It was Goloft, the Jedi who had been slain in the onslaught in the Temple, back there. "Well done, little Cazak. You have fought a deadly battle against the Dark Side, and have prevailed. Though at great cost." He bent down and picked up the red lightsaber.
He handed it to Cazak. "You have earned this, Cazak. Learn to use it. The skills you have just used only exist on this level, in this Temple. You must learn your lessons from Master Star. Follow her teachings well. You have a long, hard road ahead of you, and a long, painful recovery to undergo. But listen to her and follow her. Use this saber to defend the weak, not for vengeance. That is the way to the darkside. Master Keela was right in that."
"I realize it now, Master." said Cazak. "My anger blinded me."
"You have learned your first lesson, to trust the Masters. You will learn much about the Force, and how to use the lightsaber. Eventually, you will construct your own, but always bear this in my memory. Well done. Now sleep" Goloft laid a hand on Cazak.
He was back on the physical level, still unconscious. He had been deeply hurt by the Darkside, both inside and outside, and it would be a long, painful road to recovery. But anybody looking down on his unconscious body would find a smile on his face.
Tag Keela, Mira, Dobby, Eld, and the others.

Jedi Academy
Between the Dormintories and hangar
Tumbling over the rail followed by more blaster fire as the troopers on the ground heard the comotion from above turned their weapons toward the target adding to their own fire on Blake as he found that he had little time to move before the smell of burnt cloak and fire caught his attention. Pulling his cloak off allowing him a bit more of free movement, Blake blocked a few more blaster bolts as he started to back away heading down the long hall-way heading for the hangar.
It was apparent that the Jedi Academy wasn't safe right now, as something had happened that made him wonder what happened to cause the clone troopers to turn against the Jedi. Using a split second to use the force to throw the persuing clone troopers backward allowing him enough time to turn and run off toward the hangar.
The halls seemed to be a maze of blocked entrances and collapsed ceilings caused Blake to wonder if getting out of here alive possible. Blake could feel that there were others elsewhere although everything seemed to be confusion as it showed no real close sign of which was hostile and who was friendly as he could sense that many of the Jedi's that still were alive were upset about seeing the troops that they thought were allies suddenly turning against them murdering them in cold blood and close friends just didn't seem right.
Looking for hopefully other Jedi's that had survived, Blake found them heading toward the hangar which made him decide that hopefully they had the same idea that he did.

Jedi Temple
Lower Levels (level 43 from street level)
Fel Vreni had made his place here, so low as to never see sunlight. It had quite a few advantages, and surprisingly very few disadvantages. This low in the planet Coruscant strata was below the traffic patterns, below the large quantities of people, and below the other Jedi and their continues disturbances of the eddies in the force.
The Knights, the Padawans all walking in the force, all muddying the way, Fel was below that, he was in a deep trance, watching the past and the future, seeing what is and will be by letting the force carry him. He had been here now for four days, he had seen what will be and what was, but it no longer mattered, what will happen has happened and nothing could be done to change it.
The eddies of Force current changed, the here and now shifted as a presents was made known in the temple, Fel felt the darkness, he felt the loss of the lights as Masters, Knights, Padawans and small children were murdered.
The Chosen One was fulfilling his destiny. He was bring a balance to the force, there had been many lights and so very few dark, the balance had to be made, it was the prophesy, even if no one but him believed that interpretation.
So now Fel Vreni Jedi Master had to make a choice, did he run away, go up and fight (and die) or did he just stay here and wait for them. He was undecided, the children were a big factor in this, they were innocent, as were most of the Knights that were dying up there, but they were going to die anyway, if Fel went up and fought beside them or not.
But perhaps if he did go up there, he could save some of them... He opened himself to the force, fully immersing himself in the here and now. He felt Anakin, and he could feel that Anakin felt him, that sealed his fate, but he also found the ones making their way to the hangers, he could help them.
Fel Vreni stood up and walked to the elevators, they were out of order, he would just lift himself with the force up the nearly three quarters of a kilometer to the level he needed to be on... he sighed, he had never even been able to lift a stylus off a table, much less himself up an elevator shaft. He pulled the panel off and pulled some of the wiring out, he found the wires he was needing and hotwired the elevator, he heard it drop down the shaft toward him.
The doors opened and he stepped in, the ceiling had a hole cut in it, someone had already used this elevator to join a battle, but it did give him an idea... He reset the level he wanted to stop on and then climbing on the rail, he worked his way out of the hole and onto the roof.
The elevator car stopped a level before the one he wanted and he reached out and tripped the door open box, the doors swished open and he stepped out. Clones started coming at him and Fel unclipped his lightsaber, he could feel the wildness bubbling up in him, the here and now, the shear joy of the fight.
The blaser bolts started coming and he deflected them, killing clones with their own shots, then the climax hit, the laugh peeled and echoed off the stone walls, and the world went crazy, spinning like a dervish Fel waded right into the group, unconcerned about his safety he struck to one side then the other, his saber 1.3 meters one moment and 2.5 meters the next as he flashed back and forth till the whole squad was lying dead. That should be a good start, now to draw more attention away from the hanger deck and give the children a chance. He headed for the hanger, he had to be seen by Anakin, draw him away from the others...

Jedi Temple
Hanger bay
Faaral nodded and grabbed her Saber and jumped out of the ship, having glanced at the navicom which plotted its course as the Pilot readied for flight.
Heading out to distract the Clone Troopers, egnighting her blade, the golden light gleaming as she deflected blaster bolts back at them the same as everyone else, trying not to inflict mortal wounds--they were still sentients after all-- the clones fell---BUT KEPT COMING!
Fear built up in her as she felt that she would not survive the encounter, a line had formed between her and the shuttle, she kept backing up in the direction of the open bay, outside the battle was still ongoing, the Temple under fire as well as siege...
the ship would have to dance around blasterbolts on its way out...
But she would not be able to make it back, so she turned, disengaged the lightsaber as she came to the edge of the hanger deck, and leaped, cocooning herself in force energy she plummeted from the temple, and made a hard landing on a walkway below on a building across from the temple.

- A Executive Hotel Suite on Coruscant -
- Overlooking the Jedi Temple in the distance -
The Farghul female stared out over the cityscape of Coruscant at the smoke and glow rising from the Jedi temple. Something she had wanted for so long, her Master before her wanted, and so on, had finally come to pass.
But something was very wrong with it.
The feline alien turned back into the suite, dressed in black cloth, the tannish brown fur lined with black makeup in lines accenting her features. She reached through the Force to summon her Apprentice whom appears almost immediately, a reddish-brown furred Amaran with startling emerald eyes dressed in a black hooded cloak that hid almost all her features.
"It has happened, has it, Master?" The Sith Apprentice said quietly.
"A powerful Sith has eluded us and the Jedi. My meditations have shown me who it is. He is a fool for doing this so openly. This is not how Sith are supposed to operate!" She spun and paced. "We are supposed to guide from the shadows, not blatantly seizing power like this!" She growled.
"I know. I have seen it as well."
The feline froze in place as her sharply pointed ears perked, showing they were grey with age. She sensed it. And no doubt the fox-like alien was aware. "So... here... now..." She slowly turned to face her Apprentice.
The vulpine alien nodded. "Your mission has come to an end, my Master. For decades I have learned at your feet and in your bed... I will always cherish our time together." She spoke almost sadly.
The feline appeared to consider it, then nodded. "I know. You have done well." She smiled in approval. "You will be a great Master. But there is one last thing you must do before you can claim the title 'Dark Lord of the Sith'."
The cloak moved aside, and a silver Lightsaber blade hissed into existance. "Let us do this quietly. We do not wish to blow our cover."
The feline nodded, igniting her own red blade before the two stepped close...
- Ten Minutes Later -
The damage was minimal; the body was disposed of and a mind trick ensured the bellhop that came close enough to hear the skirmish would not remember.
The Amaran stood before the window, now a Dark Lord of the Sith. Her Master, whom will remain nameless forever more, was no more. She had lived longer than most Farghul had anyway. It was only a matter of time until everything she knew had been absorbed by the Amaran whom would ensure her memory was honored, by continuing the ever-lasting task of a True Sith; to unlock the secrets of the Force, and thereby gain True Power.
Her former Master was correct; Darth Siddious was a fool. He had begun to use his power openly, and actively sought to control the Republic - Empire, now, if the News Vids were to be believed. To control Mortals one had to prove they were truely worthy. The new Master would continue to hide - their base on Adumar was still secure - and learn. Just because she had rightfully claimed the title did not mean she was done learning. So much had been lost over the millenia.
First order of business, however, was to secure an Apprentice. And her meditations, that had come with the revelation of what was going on here on Coruscant, had shone her the way.
Emerald eyes turned toward the burning Jedi Temple...

Ductwork over hanger
Jedi Temple
Melfina popped open the grate of the duct and dropped it down, making a clang, which over the sounds of the battle was not that noticeable.
the feline swung down and landed on one clone, knocking him senseless. and used a force shove to blow away another squad.
looking at the ship that was prepping for launch she ran toward it "hey don't forget about me! i did not spend hours in that blasted duct to be left behind!" during all this her lightsaber remained deactivated. she dashed into the ship and rolled into the dive.
(ok she is a little eager to get out of there. being inside a duct like Gordon Freeman tends to make one stir crazy)

Jedi Academy
Main Hangar
Moving through areas that he could that were still open although he had to cut through the wall or a door that had been locked down by his guessing of the clone troopers trying to keep the Jedi in one area. However when he broke through the last area he found with great relief that the familiar feeling of Jedi around him allowed him to realize that he was close to the hangar bay.
The sounds of one of the ships getting ready to leave caused Blake to move quicker as he knew that the best chance of survival during times like this was together. Running into the hangar he found hope as there were several Jedi getting on board the ship in front of him.
Turning around, he let out a sad sigh as he always felt that the academy was his home however now it seemed like nothing was safe anymore. ~We will return.~

Halfway Between Dormitory and Hanger
Jedi Temple
"Whatever we do it needs to be fast," Keela yelled back at Mira. At that moment another Jedi Knight appeared, sprinted right past the group, and continued on in the direction of the hanger as if the Clone Troopers weren't even there.
"So helpful, that one," Eld muttered, twirling his twin lightsabers and deflecting a series of incoming blasts from the weapons of the clone troopers.
At that moment another presence, an evil presence that was altogether familiar, touched the minds of the small group of Jedi. Reacting quickly Master Doret sent a powerful shove through the Force down towards the troopers, blasting them all back off their feet. A split second later she sent another shove through the Force shoving the others out of her path. Then, reaching up through the Force she caused a massive cave in of the Temple ceiling between herself and the group of retreating Jedi. Just as she finished Anakin Skywalker came tearing around a corner in the hall to stand face to face with her.
"Skywalker," she said, curtly. "You'll only be getting one here. The Order will survive," she continued, raising her cerulean blade in a salute to the one time Chosen One.
"Master Doret, I knew I felt your presence still within the Temple. But not for much longer," Anakin said, raising his own blade in a mock salute to the Jedi Master.

Hanger
Jedi Temple
Arali looked around in confusion. It seemed as if within the space of a very few minutes several things had happened in the Hanger. First, Faaral had taken off out of the ship and the clones had started firing on them. Then a Human Jedi Knight had staggered aboard followed closely by a Cathar Padawan. "By the Goddess, just blast all the Clones now... and get the engines fired up as soon as Master Star and her group arrive we need to be ready to leave."
(tag Birdy)
In a second Arali jumped from her seat in the cockpit and made her way to the small freighter's loading ramp. "If either of you," she said, looking from the Human to the Cathar to the Wookie, "can pilot I suggest you take one of the Eta-2's or Delta-7's. They're noticeable, but we can still pawn them off for credits, and I doubt that the hyperdrive rings in orbit have been destroyed. Slave your hyperdrives to ours," the Twi-leki girl said in an uncharacteristically imperious tone before turning in a swish of robes and going to check on Tek.
(tags Blake, Melfina, and Tek)
Continuing along on her way Arali came on the room in the ship where Tek had been stashed. No doubt the Jedi Knight was probably a capable pilot, at the least, but he was in no position to be flying. "And you are to stay right there," the green-skinned woman said, leveling a finger at the Nautolan before spinning in a swish of robes and returning to the cockpit.

Melfina nodded "i have had a few lessons, but i have not been fully qualified. once in orbit i will slave my navicom as well as hyperdrive to the ship" she said as she jumped out and boarded one of the fighters, the astromec Droid warbling a greeting, but not questioning, even a droid had a survival instinct of sorts. Seating herself she put on the helmet, which was an uncomfortable fit since it was designed for a human head, she pulled down the cockpit canopy.
"alright ready to go" she said as she powered it up, the clones making potshots at it, to no avail as the shield protected it and kept well away from the weapons systems as she rotated into position.

Slave your hyperdrives to ours," the Twi-leki girl said in an uncharacteristically imperious tone before turning in a swish of robes and going to check on Tek.
Nodding his head in a understanding way, Blake left the transport knowing that the Padawan was correct with taking a few fighters to get credits to give them another fighting chance or help whoever survived a fighting chance. Blake was one to think that the chances of getting off world in a Jedi Starfighter that was indeed noticable was unlikely however with the possibly of a chance of living another day pushed the thought of his mind.
Looking around the scarred deck, he found a Eta-2 that showed signs of battle from other space battles sitting nearby with a R2 unit trying to make repairs on her. Running over reattaching his hilt to his belt as he pressed the release on the hatch, the R2 unit gave a sharp beep and buzz of irritation about taking the fighter out so soon.
"Quiet, R2. The academy is under attack and we need this fighter...and I can use a R2 unit so if you rather get destroyed or dismantled then you can stay other than that get on!" Blake said indicating the vacant slot where a R2 or R5 unit could be placed to help with repairs or navigation.
The droid fell silent for what seemed like seconds causing Blake to roll his eyes as he jumped into the cockpit powering up the main systems as bringing up the shielding after with surprise that the R2 unit entered the empty slot giving a low irritated buzz after settling into place with the translation appeared on the small screen that was in the cockpit.
The deflector shielding is in need of repairs!
"Can you get them fixed quickly?!" Blake asked putting on the communication band as he brought up the rest of the systems quickly linking his navigating and comm link to the freighters and other fighter that seemed to be starting up.
It will take several minutes!
"Get on it, we are going to need those shields!" Blake said before turning back to the comm. "All set to go here, deflector shields are being worked on right now but my R2 unit should have it going soon."

"Your wish is my command, dearie." said Resquar. "This oughta earn my my pay and more." She cackled as she pressed the controls firing the frieghter's blasters in a sweeping motion, cutting down the Clone Troopers. Then, she did a big blast right at the wall, collapsing it on the troopers outside. "That should provide a diversion for our arriving Jedi. Though I know Master Yoda will have a litter of kittens when he sees what I just did."
She was having the time of her life. She warmed up the engines of the freighter. "Sensors show the group of Jedi should be arriving soon."
Resquar then looked back at the others. "So what's with these clones? Not that I ever trusted them, they're too creepy for my taste. But they've never turned on us like this."

"It was all part of Palpatine's plan. He's the Sith Lord. He orchestrated the war to give him the power he wanted. We've all been played like fools. He embedded a secret order into the clone troopers" Tek said as he searched through the thoughts of the thousands to find any stragglers.
He sat down and strapped himself in, still reaching out with his mind.

Hall way outside the hanger
Fel felt Tek searching for him, well for anyone, and he shielded himself from the Jedi Knight, the young man didn't need to know he was here, Tek would wait for him, or worse, try to help him and that was not the fate of the old master Fel Vreni. His path lay in another direction...

Fighter in Hanger bay
Melfina lifted off, the droid unit assisting her with somewhat sarcastic prompts, some of which she would not repeat. the ship hovered in the shadow of the Freighter, prepared to make sure it survived, the ping for the Hyperdrive collar coming back green, although drifted off course from its location, the collar docking ring had been damaged during the assault, individual hyperdrive units were intact, but the ring they were standing by on was disabled sending the rings floating free. docking with them would be a challange for her, and over the channel a string of words she learned from a Mandilorian Sergent named Kal Skirata, of which the droid on her fighter actually chastised her for. "well anyway, we will be playing hide and seek with the hyperdrive collars it seems" she said relaying the computers return findings.

Hangar
Jedi Temple
Mira felt the strong emotions that emanated from Cazak, she knew quite well the feelings that he experienced, and the struggle he was facing. When the war of emotions were over and he collapsed to the floor, Mira looked at S'yndar,
"Pick up the youngling." she said.
Dobby was frightened when she saw the heat from Cazak, there was something wrong seriously wrong. She ran to his side when he collapsed to the floor.
" Cazak.. Cazak, don't you be leaving me either." she said with a sob in her voice.
S'yndar picked up the youngling Chetik just as another Jedi sprinted past them, cutting down several clone troopers in his wake.
The thrust of Keela's force push caught Mira by surprise pushing her back. Mira felt the dark presence of Anakin draw near. Another Master was sacrificing herself to save others much like her other master did long ago. With the collapsing of the ceiling, Mira knew they had to leave.
"Eld, S'yndar lets move, and Dobby you get moving too. I hope that Master Doret will be able to hold him back long enough for us to escape. Her sacrifice must not be in vain." Mira stated and turned with a firm resolve and moved quickly towards the hangar.

Unconscious as he was, Cazak still felt the close proximity of Anakin. He went into a dream. He saw the maelstrom that was the Dark Side of the Force, which had almost consumed him. He saw it for what it was. It was growing stronger in the galaxy, and things would get worse before they got better. But his new insight into the Dark Side also showed him that the entity that was Darth Vader had not completely destroyed Anakin Skywalker. In that, the masters were mistaken. A small part of him still existed, imprisoned within the monster created by the Dark Side. It was probably because he had turned not for selfish reasons, but for another. Who or what, Cazak couldn't see.
But whatever it was, it preserved a small part of the good man that Anakin used to be. A part that longed to be released from its prison. Cazak also saw that none of them could do it. None were close enough to release him. It had to be another. Who, Cazak couldn't see. Until then, if ever, Vader was far too dangerous to approach. But Cazak felt the conflict within the troubled man, and he knew it. He had felt the conflict himself and had come out on the other side.
Having gone to the very edge of falling and yet resisting, Cazak now had an insight on the dark side that few had. He would have a lot to tell when he woke up.
Cazak had learned wisdom the hard way.

Hallway into Hanger
Jedi Temple
Eld tore out in front of the group and, coming up on the remnants of the Clones they had just been battling with the Jedi Knight held out his hands and utilized an ability that he had learned Master Plo Koon. Standing before the troopers, most of whom seemed unconscious after the Force Push from Master Doret, Eld calmly deactivated his lightsabers and then reached for the Force.
A stream of green lightning bolts poured from the Kel Dor Jedi's fingertips. After a moment the Jedi stepped back away from the corpses of the troopers that had not been dead already. As he used the power there was not a trace of fear or anger in the young Jedi Knight, merely a sense of justice being served. These Clones had attacked the Temple and, no doubt, killed more than a few innocent Jedi. They had earned their punishment as such.
Quickly the Jedi made their way to the Hanger and entered through a hole in the wall that Eld quickly excised with his own lightsabers. Quickly the Kel Dor scanned the hanger through his goggled eyes and assessed the situation. "Younglings into the freighter," he directed S'yndar, pointing at the ship with the engines firing up. "I'll take my fighter." Eld didn't bother to give any further instructions to S'yndar or Mira. They would do what needed to be done on their own, or so he would trust.
Quickly the Jedi moved across the hanger and, using the Force, leaped directly into the cockpit of his Delta-7B starfighter with its distinctive navy and orange paint scheme. "R4, get the engines online now. We're leaving." While the droid went about its work Eld twiddled through comm channels until he found the one that the rest of the group was on. "I suggest those of us in the fighters take off and make sure that ground-to-air fire doesn't bring down the freighter when they leave. What's the plan beyond that?"
Arali, who had by this time made her way back to the cockpit and dropped into the co-pilot's seat, thumbed the mic on the ship's comm. "Slave your hyperdrive and navicomputer to ours once you've docked with a hyperdrive ring," Arali said into the comm unit a few seconds before she felt the presence of a Master step onto the freighter. 'Good,' she thought to herself. 'The Master will be able to get the new arrivals situated.'
Eld nodded as R4 warbled indicating that the ship was ready for take off. "Alright then, it's time for us to leave. Those of you in the fighters, we're designating ourselves Knight Group for now. Form up on me, I've got the lead." Once the fighters had formed up the Kel Dor led them out of the hanger. "Identify your targets, take out the weapons emplacements. Knight group is weapons free."

Jedi Academy
Main Hangar
Toggling the repulsor lifts to active with the shielding came on line finally after what seemed like several minutes, Blake heard another Jedi come across the comm starting to organize a defense hopefully.
"Alright then, it's time for us to leave. Those of you in the fighters, we're designating ourselves Knight Group for now. Form up on me, I've got the lead." Once the fighters had formed up the Kel Dor led them out of the hanger. "Identify your targets, take out the weapons emplacements. Knight group is weapons free."[/QUOUTE]
"Acknowledged, Lead." Blake said lifting the nimble little fighter up and joining the fighters that had formed up for a attack. Being behind the controls of a fighter once more made him feel a lot better however when the lead talked about the weapon emplacements it did concern him.
During his apprenticeship that took him to many battlefields at the start of the war, he had seen how deadly accurate the Clone Troopers were. However Blake wanted to help get the survivors out of here so the Jedi Order could actually survive. Arching in on a tight turn allowing himself to open up to the force, he pointed the nose down toward the deck as the sight of clone troopers moving toward the hangar as a part of the roof was gone showing the movement of troops.
"This is Knight 3, I got clones coming in toward the hangar. Not many but they seem to be gathering troops. I am going to try for a strafing run to give the freighter time to get out of here." Blake keyed into the comm awaiting to see if the lead wanted him to try it.

Main Hangar
Jedi Temple
Birdy One
Resquar shook her head. "Well, I never!" she said. "The plot has been going on this long and nobody knew? It's...its.." She was at a loss for words. She never suspected, of course, politics wasn't her realm of expertise.
Sensors told her that the group of Jedi, Padawans and younglings were safely aboard, and that there were no more coming. "Strap yourselves in, we're in for a wild ride." she said. "And use those bags. That's what they're there for. Make a mess on my ship and you clean it up. I've really souped up this old beast, and we're about to find out what she can do."
She looked around. Cazak was out like a light. "They've even done this to younglings? We'll see about that." Getting on the commlink, she said "Acknowledged, Knight Squadron, this is Birdy One. We're loaded up and taking off. Slaving the navcomps and hyperdrive to your comp. And now, here we go!"
She did another sweep of the ship's blasters on the approaching clone troopers, and then, seeing everything was secure on the ship, she lifted off. "Hang on tight!" Backing the ship out of the hangar, she was aloft. Turning, she did a sharp ascent. She was a crack pilot, few better. The smoke of the Temple was ascending behind.

Jedi Temple
Hallway and Hanger Deck
He had felt the ships leave, they had gotten away, as many as would get away he sensed, now it was time for an old fool to meet his destiny. Fel Vreini had been holding off six clones, not attacking but not letting them advance either, six more showed up then another squad of twelve, they had learned how to overwhelm even a Jedi Master and they poured fire on to him.
Fel worked his way into the open hanger deck now and out towards the doors into the open air. The first bolt slipped by his guard and he absorbed it, it hurt but the pain was immaterial, it was only pain. But the problem was, once hit, he was open to be hit again, then again, and more, he could not absorb blaster bolts forever, he was already feeling the effects of holding such energies to long, he needed to vent it or it would consume him.
With a blast of Force Energy there was an explosion blowing clones 20 meters away off their feet and the ones closer were blown to pieces. There was no sign of Jedi Master Fel Vreini, just a crater left in the floor where he had been standing.

OOC: Those of you on the Freighter, feel free to do whatever.
Coruscant
Knight One
"Knight Three, you're weapons free. Begin your run," Eld said into the comm unit, lining up on one of the AA emplacements. A tone warbled in his helmet, indicating that there was a clean weapons lock on the emplacement. The Kel Dor Jedi depressed the button on the control stick and a pair of emerald energy beams lanced out from his fighter and struck the AA unit, causing it to explode in a terrific fireball.

As Resquar piloted the freighter out of the hanger and the fighters in Knight Squadron began to address ground targets that might harass them as they escaped Arali was busy plugging coordinates into the Navicomputer and waiting on the computer to spit out the proper vectors.
The Twi'leki Padawan was clever enough to know that they couldn't just take a direct route to the Cyax System, and that the route she was planning would require a few stops for fuel. The first leg would be to make a jump to Byss. From Byss the next leg would be to Corellia, which would be the first of the refueling stops as Corellia had a number of Jedi that would hopefully not have been caught in the initial purge and might be able to offer assistance to them. From Corellia they would jump to Circarpous V and from Circarpous V they would jump to Toydaria in Hutt Space. Once in Hutt Space it would be easy enough to stop off for fuel. From Toydaria they'd jump to the Cyax System and, if the rumors were true, there they would find the planet Da Soocha which would suit their purposes quite nicely.
"Here are the coordinates for the jump to Byss in the Deep Core," Arali said, plugging them into the hyperdrive. As she fed the coordinates in the freighter rocked from ground fire. "We could use some help on the guns," she hollered into the main part of the ship.

Corridor
Jedi Temple
Keela's blue lightsaber hummed and flashed as she crossed blades with Anakin. The Jedi Master knew she was nowhere close to a match for the younger Anakin with a blade, after all she had never been much of a swordsman by the standards of the Jedi. Still, she managed to hold her own through a mix of swordplay and trickery for several minutes before she at last was pierced through the midsection by Vader's blade and crumpled to the ground.
Coruscant
Silver Flame
Tek reached out with his mind, trying to guide the other Jedi to the hanger and avoid any clone patrols. He suddenly felt a cold chill run down his spine and recognized Skywalker's thoughts intruding into his mind.
Kneeling in the collapsed corridor Anakin reached out with his own senses, searching for any Jedi remaining in the Temple that held the rank of Knight or higher. To his surprise her felt the presence of another Jedi attempting to do the same thing from the Main Hanger. Thanks to the cave in Anakin knew he wouldn't be able to reach the hanger before this group of Jedi had fled, but that was no reason not to taunt them.
'Running away like rats departing a sinking ship,' Anakin asked directly into the mind of the other Jedi.
Rage threatened to over take Tek as his mind was invaded by the traitor.
"It takes so much courage to slaughter unarmed children...We shall meet again, I promise you that."
Tek regained control just in the nick of time. He was dangerously close to the precipice.
"Strong words from the coward that's running away," Anakin shot back.
"I'm not running away. I'm protecting the Padawans under my care from you."
"Only until I find you and end it," Vader responded.
"You are a selfish, treasonous snake and you will die by my hand. I swear it."
"Good, give into your passion and your hate... they make you stronger."
Tek pushed Anakin from his mind, as he realized in the nick of time the dark path his thoughts were going down.

Starfighter
Behind the Freighter's shadow
Melfina knew she would not be much good with the fighter in combat so she stayed glued to the Freighter's sensor shadow. She kept with it so they would not have to go looking for her, she dodged in and out following the freighter and occasionally blapping off anyone who got too close for comfort

Walkway
Outside abandoned building
Faaral was dazed and head cloudy, she stumbled away from the impact crater she left on the Permacrete wall. her head hurt and she could not hear anything but the fighting around her and away, oblivious to the sound of the launching craft.
The debris of broken buildings littered the walkway which had at one point pretended to be a street, making her path traitorous. her head spun, and she was dizzy,
the force cocoon had saved her life, but her body could only take so much.
She found a dark alleyway and stumbled into it, Her body finally gave out and she collapsed against another wall and blacked out.

Faaral woke once again, this time to the sounds of chuckling. Her head hurt, her eyes refused to focus. A shape came forward and looked down at her, an alien race unfamilar to her he had reddish skin and mean green eyes.
"Well well well, look who decided to wake up" He said with a smirk. Behind him as they came into focus were several others, numbering 5 in all.
She tried to move but she had been bound. Trying to be brave she spoke "Let me go."
The male shook his head; "I don't think so. I have plans for you."
She had the distinct feeling that she had an idea of what those plans were and how rough he was with his "toys". She continued to try at the bindings, to no avail, her headache and fear kept her from reaching out with the Force.
A dark shape appeared out of the sight to one side. Emerald eyes stared from an alien face at the pitiful creatures that dared to stand in the way of her goal. She was suprised the Force led her to a location some distance from the fighting and in the lower levels of the immance planet-sized city. Someplace not even Clone Troopers would go. Once she sensed the gang she knew that the Force was testing her once again. She decided to wait and observe a bit longer, already smiling at the defiance the young Kit showed.
The unknown alien male paced in front of his captive "When i am done with you..." He trailed off, the fear building in Faaral's eyes as she squirmed at her bindings, which were both at her wrists and ankles.
"I havent done anything to you!" She said inciting laughter from the leader.
"You showed up here, and that is enough" He kicked at her, and she recoiled out of the way.
A Padawan Braid. This was too delicious, the shadow thought. Just a bit more needs to be done... So she waited.
The Leader waived his hand in a small gesture, and two of his lackys gabbed her, keeping her from moving. The leader pulled out a Vibroblade and knelt down using it to cut open her robes, exposing the fur benieth it. He used it also to cut her bra off, then used one finger to trace her chest. "Not bad, not bad at all."
Horrified Faaral tried to move back, but to no avail.
He grabbed around her throat "Try and get away and i shall be very cross." He reached down and tore away her panties, the goons ripping off the remains of her robes and tossing them aside, laughing at her struggles.
Faaral screamed "somebody, aneybody HEL---!"
He grabbed her muzzle to hold it shut. "Now, now, there is nobody here to hear you scream, not down here. and even if there was, they would not come down here."
The fear from the youngling was delicious. Time to move. "I beg to differ..." She purred as she stepped out of the shadows, concealed under a black cloak, standing just over five foot tall. Not very imposing compared to the gang members. "I do believe you have something that belongs to me."
The leader looked over, standing to his full height. "Nice, another one has wandered into my turf. You will have to pay for being down here!" He said, making his way toward the hooded and cloaked female.
She laughed at his defiance. If he only knew! "Oh, I'm afraid that I do not share your optimistic appraisial of the situation!" The cloak parted and a black gloved hand emerged, the palm casualy facing the male whom was suddenly stopped in his tracks, his neck slowly constricting inward as he was lifted off the ground to just over a foot. "The female is Mine, because I am going to take her from you. Any objections?" The muzzle, for that was all that could be seen under the cloak, seemed to smile.
As he lifted off the ground he managed to make out one more word; "*****~!" Before he struggled for air, the Vibroblade he had dropped to the ground as his finger dug at his throat to try and pull away the constriction.
Faaral squirmed and inched her way into a corner as the thugs forgot they were holding her as they looked back and forth at their floating leader and the one dressed in black.
"Now, that is just not nice!" Her fingers closed into a fist, snapping his neck in a very audiable, sickening, crunch. The fingers then flew open, sending the now dead gang leader through the air into two of his companions. At least one died with another bone crunching sound as the pile of bodies hit the floor.
She took several slow steps toward the other two. "Now... where was I? Oh yes... I was retrieving my property... Are we going to have any more trouble?" She glared at the remaining two.
After figuratively picking their mouths off the ground they shook their heads and ran off.
Faaral in the meantime, still in pain was cured into what closely reselmbled teh fetal position whimpering in pain and fear.
"I take that as a no..." She muttered almost to herself before stepping forward and looking down at Faaral. She held a hand over the youngling and the bindings fell away, leaving her free. Emerald eyes shined from under the hood. "I know you are still awake. I offer to take you someplace safe. But you must stand and follow me..." She said simply before turning away.
Faaral got up, arms crossed over her breasts, her tattered robed barly covering the rest. She followed the stranger to an aircar parked in a reletive clearing hidden just around the corner and when offered the seat she got in and had managed to sit before blacking out, from the stress and the pain she had endured.
The Dark Lord of the Sith touched a control and sent it on Autopilot to the private landing pad at her former Master's suite. Once they were on their way, she glanced at the unconsous Amaran Kit and reached out, almost tenderly, to lay a gloved hand on her head.
It was a tender moment for someone following what the Galaxy had long seen as an 'evil' religion. But as this youngling will learn... there was more to being a Sith than just being bad...
She will ensure it...

Freighter
Birdy One
"Gotcha, Silver Flame." said Resquar. She did an evasive and then dived in on the attack, firing the blasters of the freighter at the battery attacking them and the Silver Flame. "Pretty, isn't it?" she said as the battery exploded. "And I have the coordinates. We'll be off."
The freighter, dubbed Birdy One, swerved and again did the ascent, more maneuverable than any thought. She had done her job well, and had the souped-up freighter in top condition and more.

Jedi Fighter
In the air
Upon getting the word about making his run, Blake banked in hard shoving the throttle forward and kicking in the air brakes making the fighter roll over on a sharp line on the expose hall, Blake angled in on the hall with the gunsights in line on the moving line. Since there was no electrontics to signal for a direct lock, he thumbed the trigger sending a deadly spray of bullets into the clone ranks as time and space seemed to slow down however he released the brakes sending the fighter screaming just barely above the surface of what remained of the temple.
The clones started returning the fire causing Blake to jerk away from his run as several of the bolts hit the outside of the shields with the R2 unit screaming in warning. He didn't need to look at the screen to know what the droid said, "I know we are taking hits. I am going to make a run-"
"Here are the coordinates for the jump to Byss in the Deep Core," Arali said, plugging them into the hyperdrive. As she fed the coordinates in the freighter rocked from ground fire. "We could use some help on the guns," she hollered into the main part of the ship.
Jerking his head in the direction of the hangar, he could see blaster fire from the AA Turrets hitting the freighter although he could see that the guns on the freighter were all ready firing on the turrets. Turning in he started in on the turrets to give the freighter some help.

Penthouse Suite
Faaral woke up in a comfortable bed in a hotel penthouse suite, clean and warm. The room strangely feels safe, but something is still very wrong about that sensation.
The first thing Faaral noticed was that she was no longer in pain, she could not remember how she got here. then it came flooding back. The Temple, Invaded. The escape. Jumping off the high hanger ledge and dropping below. The Gang. she looked around and spotted the figure in black. "who...who are you?" she stammered
The figure looks up from a nearby table sipping tea. She folds her hood back, revealing herself to be an older Amaran. "I am someone whom has apparently saved your life, young one." She spoke in the native trader's tongue of their homeworld.
Faaral switched from Basic to the same language. "but how, the Jedi are all running. even the Greys are in hiding. who sent you?" she asked (i
Byrna chuckled. "Yes, so I hear." She paused. "I came for you." A gloved hand motioned to the trey before her. "Breakfast?"
Faaral was up and made her way to the tray and took some food, carefully eating, only then realizing her nudity. she used one arm to cover herself as she used the other to eat. "has the counsel actually been sending people back for us?"
"I'm afraid the Jedi Counsel is no more. The few whom have survived have gone into hiding. The last ships escaped the Jedi Temple not too long ago." The older Amaran said quietly, sitting back to watch her.
Faaral rose her head as something clicked "your not Jedi are you?" the memory of the encounter flashed before her eyes. the Punk had his throat crushed. Jedi do not do that. "you are one of Palpatines Minions aren't you?" she recoiled and instinctively reached for the saber hilt that was not there.
Byrna laughed. A strange, musical sound coming from someone whom was supposed to be a Sith. "No... no. Of course not!" She chuckled. "Palpatine is an idiot. He is not a True Sith. Morons like him are the reason for all those rumors and things they teach you in that Temple about what true Sith are." She smiled, leaning on the table toward the Youngling. "I am a True Sith. We are not evil for evil's sake. The Dark Side is indeed dangerous, and many of us following such a path have failed, and thus been driven insane like the new 'Emperor of the Galaxy'." She spat the title in sarcasm.
This made Faaral pause "but you betray and kill each other. thats in the Archives." she said, and then remembered the Data Crystal she had filled before leaving.
"The Sith you hear about from the Jedi are out to kill every single thing, correct? True Sith don't do that. For one, it draws attention to us that we would rather avoid as it would interfere with our studies." She smirked. "Also, you can't enjoy your toys if you break them!"
Faaral's ears folded "toys? so i am merely a novelty to you then?"
Again, that amused chuckle. "Being a Sith is more complex than simply 'being evil and killing everyone else' my dear. It takes years if not decades just to understand the basics. I have been a Sith for nearly 50 years myself and only recently became a Master. It will take some time to explain everything to you..." She waved off unimpressed. "But I'm sure you as a Jedi don't want to hear it all..."
Faaral thought for a moment "is it true though that when something is of use to you...." she trailed off, thinking of ways of how she would survive this, being here was just as dangerous if not more so than the alleyway with the rape gang
"Then we go after it, young one. Otherwise, I would have probably let them have you..." She folded gloved hands together. "But then I felt your fear. I figured I could teach you, if you were willing." A pause. "But if your not interested, I do have a ship and could drop you off somewhere..." Byrna tilted her head, waiting for her response.
Faaral thought for a moment longer before she made up her mind "allright, fine. i will stay. but is you turn me over to Palpatine i will not forgive you" she tried to sound non-plussed but inwardly she was still frightened
Byrna smirked. "You have a connection to the Force. Giving such a valuable asset as you to such a moron goes against what I believe in." With a hand, the blanket drifts off the bed to drape around Faaral. "I could teach you the other side of the coin, so to speak, and you will hopefully have the ability to make your own decision." She smiled. "But I sense there is something else you need to do?"
Faaral looked undecided as to weather or not to tell this mystery woman.
The Sith sat there and smiled.
Faaral decided "i had something important on my person when i left the temple"
"Go on..." Byrna said softly, no forcing on her part.
"a Data Crystal i downloaded archive files onto"
Byrna nodded. "It would be of use to me and the escaped Jedi."
"it is full compression, the data inside will have to be decrypted and used in a high memory module." Faaral said feeling less threatened by this presence now that she had the blanket around her
Byrna waived her hand "I have access to computers. My ship could take us there."
Faaral saw the tattered remains of her robed and moved to them, digging into a hidden pocket and pulled out the Crystal, about the size of an average human thumb
Byrna smiled when she saw it. "I doubt that is everything from the archives. They've been collecting all sorts of information for almost 2,000 years. But this will help." She stood. "I will have clothes brought for you. It would probably be easier for you to sleep on my ship."
Faaral nodded "indeed, it is a fraction of the archives, most of this is from the training files for Padawans" she stood before the Mystery woman "i am Faaral" she said finally
Byrna smiled. "I am Lady Byrna..." She placed a hand on the Kit's shoulder.
Faaral closed her eyes. the thought that meeting a sith would cause her life to end shortly, unless she had attained Knight status in which she would have to defend herself. This was different

OOC: Everyone except Faaral and Byrna wrap up your pre-jump activities. We'll be hitting hyperspace for our first jump in my next post. Good job so far everyone. PLEASE REMEMBER PLACE TAGS.
Knight One
Coruscant
"Nice shooting Three," Eld said, catching a glimpse of the destruction that one of the other fighters was causing. The Kel Dor also didn't miss the fact that Knight Two was staying close the the Silver Flame. "Two, stay with Birdy One," the Jedi barked. If the pilot in Two was unsure of their abilities he would just as soon have them remain close to the freighter where both could cover one another.
Rolling over in the air, Eld dove his fighter on another AA emplacement. Streams of ionized tibanna gas poured from the fighter as another AA emplacement wen up in a fireball, clearing a narrow corridor for the freighter to escape through. "That does it! Punch through and break atmo. Knight Three, form up on Birdy's port side, I'll take starboard. Knight Group will need time to complete docking procedures with the hyperdrive rings in orbit before we make the jump."

Birdy One
"Birdy One, making ascent out of atmosphere and ready to make the jump when you are." said Resquar. She accelerated, going through the window created by the fighters and ascending away from the planet. She saw much evidence of the battles going on down at the world below.
This was the beginning of a new adventure, and if any thought there was trepidation in her, they didn't know Resquar, a tough old bird. She chuckled to see her escort on either side of the ship. She wasn't exactly helpless, but she didn't squawk at their presence.

Knight 2
Melfina continued to huddle close to the Freighter and pop off anyone who got in her line of fire. Making low orbit she detected the Hyperdrive collars drifting free, some damaged, some functional she found hers in operational condition, but found Knight 3's to be disabled from an impact with debris. she scanned quickly and found several candidate replacements and sent them over "you may want to take this shopping list and your pick of the collars." she reported over the channel. now was not the time to be picky. Melfina broke free of the Freighter's sensor shadow and docked with the collar, the Droid onboard squawking and a translation came on screen:
Collar hyperdrive core is low on fuel. Refueling recommended
"great just great. give me a map of how far we can get before our next stop please" she asked the droid, and a readout displayed. she relayed the report to Birdy One.

Knight 3
In the Air
The call over the radio for regroup made Blake break away from his final run and move toward the fleeing freighter. Flipping the fighter over on its top allowing for him to look at what remained of the Jedi Temple as fires still burned from the battles that probably still raged on inside. The building that he once considered home for his entire life now lay in ruins causing him to wonder if they would ever be able to return to the academy ever again.
Rolling the fighter back over, Blake angled the fighter up alongside the freighter as it broke through the atmosphere. Breaking away from the ship slightly, he aligned the fighter to the ring that was indicated for that fighter only to find that it was damaged beyond repair because of debris causing him to swallow hard. Suddenly the comm blared to life from one of the other pilots as data started scrolling across the screen.
"you may want to take this shopping list and your pick of the collars."
"Acknowledged, One. Thank you for your help, I owe you one." Blake said offering a smile before turning toward one of the rings that were indicated. Swinging the fighter into a different ring, he felt the ring attached to his fighter and the R2 unit was all ready slaving the navigation to the freighters.

OOC: GM Post, very brief.
Orbit
Coruscant
Once all of the Jedi Starfighters had completed their docking maneuvers with hyperdrive rings. True, one of the rings was a bit low on fuel, but it would be easy enough to remedy that shortcoming at Byss which was just a short jump from Coruscant, though it would take a bit of doing since Byss was in the deep core.
Sitting in the co-pilot's seat Arali saw the transmission come in from Knight Two. Thinking quickly Arali plugged in a new destination near Byss. They would all jump in and then the Flame would continue on to Byss and get the fuel supplies that were needed. When the consoles and everything beeped indicating all the fighters were slaved in and the coordinates and route were plotted the four ships and escaping Jedi slid easily into hyperspace.

"Acknowledged, Knight Squadron." said Resquar. She kept in close with the others. She could have jumped to hyperdrive herself, but saw the need to keep in close with the Knight Squadron. So, she locked in with the others and jumped to light speed with them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Cazak awoke with a groan, holding his sides. "Ooooooooohhhhhhh...." he moaned. "I just...hurt all over." He looked over to Dobby and Mira, who were seated near him. "Dobby." he said, weakly. "You're alive. I was so worried that I had killed you or something when I almost went over. I came as close to the Dark Side as anybody had a right to be, and almost got swallowed up." He had to stop to breathe. "I'm sorry, Master Star, my anger blinded me, but I know better now. I know the Dark Side for what it is." He looked down at Goloft's red lightsaber in his hands. "Master Goloft came to me after the struggle and wanted me to have this, but I had to learn to use it. And also to learn to construct one of my own eventually. He wanted me to keep it in his memory. I have renounced any claim to vengeance, as it is the path that the Dark side tempted me in. He handed it to Mira. "Could you deactivate it or reduce it to practice mode for me? I promise not to use it until I'm ready. But I need to keep it in memory of Master Goloft and the others."
He moaned again in pain, trying to control it as Master Yoda had taught him. He had rejected the Dark Side, but it had done damage to him.
Tag Mira, Dobby, others on the freighter, Knight Squadron.

Once she had the two younglings settled to where they wouldn't be tossed around too much, and had S'yndar to stay near them, Mira went into a meditative state, her breathing slowed, as she let the Force flow about her and through her. A vision came to mind of a Jedi she knew,Master Fel Vreini, she had struck up an odd friendship with him, with him working with her off and on when she arrived at the Temple years ago.
As the vision flowed within her mind, to her consternation Mira saw a terrible scene. In the open air as the ships took flight, Master Vreini being fired upon by many clone troopers! Absorbing the bolts he... he.. Mira's eyes popped open with a bit of a cry on her lips. Quickly she glanced around and noticed that Cazak had woken up.
He was handing her the sword he had taken from Keela... her mind barely registering his words. Nodding she took it and placed it on her belt. "I will hold onto it for you at this time." Mira answered quietly and seeming to be slightly distracted.
Dobby was just watching both Cazak and Mira noticing the heat readings from them both. Master Star seemed strangely distraught while Cazak was radiating pain.
"I'm glad you didn't die on me." Dobby said.
S'yndar looked at the Youngling Chetik. "You certainly seemed to face off with an enemy of yours." He quietly said. "I'm glad you succeeded in your trial."
Mira focused back on Cazak, "Here, let me help you alleviate the pain." she said reaching out to touch his shoulder, then closing her eyes and willing the pain to leave using the force.

"Thank you, Master Star." said Cazak, who seemed to relax a little. He had been hurt very deeply by the darkside and would take time to heal. "And yes, master S'yndar, I did face off with an enemy. And it was me. I saw myself as I would have been if I had yielded to the Dark Side of the Force. It was terrible. Worse than Anakin is now. There would have been no hope for me if it had happened, but I did overcome him. I see into the Dark Side and see it is growing stronger in the galaxy as we speak. But there is still hope for Master Skywalker. There is still a part of him that remains untouched by Darth Vader as he has become.
I felt it was because he didn't turn for selfish reasons, but for another, who or what, I don't know. But none of us can bring him back, for none of us was that close to him. It would have to be somebody very close, but who, I can't see. It is a slim hope, but better than nothing.
But I'm talking too much. I need to rest."
Cazak had grown in wisdom, even as he looked like he had aged during the encounter with his darker self. And he had learned it the hard way.

S'yndar chuckled, "Cazak, just to let you know, I'm not even a Jedi Knight yet." The young Vurk said. "I'm still a Padawan, and will probably be one a bit longer due to what has happened." He shrugged. "
The Vurk padawan, stretched out his long legs. "I'm going to have to find another Master to do more training due to my Master having been killed."S'yndar remarked non-chalantly. It almost seemed that he didn't have a care in the world, and that losing his master didn't bother him.

Open Air - Coruscant - Temple District
1000 meters above ground level
Jedi Master Fel Vreini was flying like a bird... well, like a brick. He had expended most of the energy in both the blast and protecting himself from the blast, he had been hurled up and out of the hanger deck, and now was at his apogee, in a moment he would be going down, and never had been able to lift a stylus from a table, much less himself off a kilometer of air.
He had drawn himself into himself, closing himself from the force for the first time in nearly three decades. Skywalker wanted the Jedi dead, if he felt Fel then he would know he was still alive, Fel wanted Skywalker to think he had died in that force explosion.
Now the hard part, he had to make sure he didn't die on impact with the ground...
One of the things he loved to study was nature, and just two months ago he had been studying a flying rodent, that really was misnamed since it didn't not fly but glided on skin flaps. Fel's loose fitting silk long tunic was flapping around him, he reached down and grabbed as low as he could on it and pulled it out like the rodent's skin flaps. He felt the change, he didn't slow, but now instead of falling down he was moving forward. He might get away with it.
He wanted to kill his speed, he was going rather fast, so he arched his body and encouraged a lift. TO MUCH!! He stalled instantly and started falling feet first, only just twisting enough to get himself going again. His arms were shaking from the strain, his hands were starting to cramp, if he used the force he could stay like this all day, but by doing that he also would tell Skywalker he was still alive. He had to get down.
He found what he wanted, a fast moving air lorry, a long haul freight vehicle under him and almost going the same direction. A few small adjustments of weight and he had lined up with the cargo area. Fel hit the roof of the lorry running and only managed to stop before running off the front. Finding a small shelter from the slipstream he lay down and relaxed himself. He didn't know where he was going but the further away the better.
He would be making a few modifications to his tunic before he jumped out of any more building he decided.

Cazak smiled, even laughed to hear what S'yndar said, for the first time since the massacre, when he thought he would never smile or laugh again. "Of course. Forgive me, please. It's just that compared to me, you are a master. I don't know how I'll be a Padawan, as my fur doesn't grow long enough to make a braid. But I'll call you S'yndar if it's ok." He looked over at Mira. Her help had helped him control his pain. That was only the first step. "Are you all right, Master? Anything we can do to help?"
Then his feelings, and his memory of what Master Goloft had said in that other plane came to him, and he said "Master Star, I pledge myself to your teachings. Please take me as a Padawan to learn the ways of the Force. I will study and do what you say in all things." He knew it would be a long and hard road for him. The quick and easy way was the way of the Dark Side, and he had irrecovably rejected that. He looked up at her with a look of trust, with none of the turmoil that was formerly in him. That had been burned out of him at great cost.
Resquar, hearing that, chuckled. "You've come a long way, Cazak my dear. You've avoided the Dark Side and are learning the Light Side of the Force. Just don't let those Masters turn you to the Dull Side. That would ruin you. Master Yoda often puts me to sleep with his lectures. He knows the Dull Side very well." The bird laughed again.

S'yndar nodded, "That is fine, Cazak, I don't mind at all. I had the same difficulty as to the braid, since I don't have hair I couldn't very well wear one. You just wear the braid in your heart and that will suffice." The Vurk Padawan replied. "That is what I do."
Dobby looked at Cazak, "I won't be wearing a braid either when I become a padawan. I may have some hair but don't think it will grow that long."
Mira started to chuckle, "If you wish to have a braid perhaps I can make one out of some of my hair for you to wear, Cazak. Now to talk about you becoming my padawan, I need to meditate on it. Normally it is the Master or the will of the force who makes the decision and not the one desiring to be the padawan." she gently placed her hand upon the Chetik's shoulder. "And as for whether I am all right? It will pass, the death of so many has taken a toll upon me, but not only me others as well."
She looked over towards Arali, S'yndar, Dobby and to those who are flying in the other ships.

Hyperspace
Melfina felt her body shake as she rested, the autopilot being slaved into the freighter she finally came to rest in the seat.
~
Melfina was hot.She could not remember ever being this overheated. it was dry as well. a roaring sound from over a red crusty hill. she made her way over that hill and gazed at a lake of Lava. droids and machinery were hovering over it, heat shields protecting them from melting. there was a pair of figures in the distance, distorted by the waves of heat. lightsabers were engaged and they were fighting. she did not know who they were, or why they were fighting each other. when one ended up on the embankment on the side closer to her, she saw the other exicute a force leap and get his limbs chopped off...
~
Gasping she woke up, not knowing how long she was asleep. her fur matted down with sweat. what did this dream mean? who were the people fighting? she pushed it to the back of her mind for now, there would be plenty of time to contemplate it later.

"I understand, Master." said Cazak. "It affected me strongly as well. Almost turned me to the dark side. The Force be with you."
He patted Dobby's hand. "We'll get out of this, and be stronger for it. Though rough times are ahead for us and the rest of the galaxy for a while. The dark side is getting stronger. We'll need to weather this storm, and keep hope alive until..."
Until what? he thought. He saw that none of them had been close enough to Anakin to bring him out of the monster that was now Darth Vader, but who? And when? He didn't know. He wished Master Yoda was with them.
"Hang on." said Resquar. We're about to make the jump out of hyperspace to our first stop. We'll need to refuel there. Dropping out....now."
Tag all on Birdy one, and the rest.
"Acknowledged, Lead." Blake said lifting the nimble little fighter up and joining the fighters that had formed up for a attack. Being behind the controls of a fighter once more made him feel a lot better however when the lead talked about the weapon emplacements it did concern him.
During his apprenticeship that took him to many battlefields at the start of the war, he had seen how deadly accurate the Clone Troopers were. However Blake wanted to help get the survivors out of here so the Jedi Order could actually survive. Arching in on a tight turn allowing himself to open up to the force, he pointed the nose down toward the deck as the sight of clone troopers moving toward the hangar as a part of the roof was gone showing the movement of troops.
"This is Knight 3, I got clones coming in toward the hangar. Not many but they seem to be gathering troops. I am going to try for a strafing run to give the freighter time to get out of here." Blake keyed into the comm awaiting to see if the lead wanted him to try it.

Birdy One
Resquar shook her head. "Well, I never!" she said. "The plot has been going on this long and nobody knew? It's...its.." She was at a loss for words. She never suspected, of course, politics wasn't her realm of expertise.
Sensors told her that the group of Jedi, Padawans and younglings were safely aboard, and that there were no more coming. "Strap yourselves in, we're in for a wild ride." she said. "And use those bags. That's what they're there for. Make a mess on my ship and you clean it up. I've really souped up this old beast, and we're about to find out what she can do."
She looked around. Cazak was out like a light. "They've even done this to younglings? We'll see about that." Getting on the commlink, she said "Acknowledged, Knight Squadron, this is Birdy One. We're loaded up and taking off. Slaving the navcomps and hyperdrive to your comp. And now, here we go!"
She did another sweep of the ship's blasters on the approaching clone troopers, and then, seeing everything was secure on the ship, she lifted off. "Hang on tight!" Backing the ship out of the hangar, she was aloft. Turning, she did a sharp ascent. She was a crack pilot, few better. The smoke of the Temple was ascending behind.

Jedi Temple
Hallway and Hanger Deck
He had felt the ships leave, they had gotten away, as many as would get away he sensed, now it was time for an old fool to meet his destiny. Fel Vreini had been holding off six clones, not attacking but not letting them advance either, six more showed up then another squad of twelve, they had learned how to overwhelm even a Jedi Master and they poured fire on to him.
Fel worked his way into the open hanger deck now and out towards the doors into the open air. The first bolt slipped by his guard and he absorbed it, it hurt but the pain was immaterial, it was only pain. But the problem was, once hit, he was open to be hit again, then again, and more, he could not absorb blaster bolts forever, he was already feeling the effects of holding such energies to long, he needed to vent it or it would consume him.
With a blast of Force Energy there was an explosion blowing clones 20 meters away off their feet and the ones closer were blown to pieces. There was no sign of Jedi Master Fel Vreini, just a crater left in the floor where he had been standing.

"Knight Three, you're weapons free. Begin your run," Eld said into the comm unit, lining up on one of the AA emplacements. A tone warbled in his helmet, indicating that there was a clean weapons lock on the emplacement. The Kel Dor Jedi depressed the button on the control stick and a pair of emerald energy beams lanced out from his fighter and struck the AA unit, causing it to explode in a terrific fireball.

As Resquar piloted the freighter out of the hanger and the fighters in Knight Squadron began to address ground targets that might harass them as they escaped Arali was busy plugging coordinates into the Navicomputer and waiting on the computer to spit out the proper vectors.
The Twi'leki Padawan was clever enough to know that they couldn't just take a direct route to the Cyax System, and that the route she was planning would require a few stops for fuel. The first leg would be to make a jump to Byss. From Byss the next leg would be to Corellia, which would be the first of the refueling stops as Corellia had a number of Jedi that would hopefully not have been caught in the initial purge and might be able to offer assistance to them. From Corellia they would jump to Circarpous V and from Circarpous V they would jump to Toydaria in Hutt Space. Once in Hutt Space it would be easy enough to stop off for fuel. From Toydaria they'd jump to the Cyax System and, if the rumors were true, there they would find the planet Da Soocha which would suit their purposes quite nicely.
"Here are the coordinates for the jump to Byss in the Deep Core," Arali said, plugging them into the hyperdrive. As she fed the coordinates in the freighter rocked from ground fire. "We could use some help on the guns," she hollered into the main part of the ship.

Corridor
Jedi Temple
Keela's blue lightsaber hummed and flashed as she crossed blades with Anakin. The Jedi Master knew she was nowhere close to a match for the younger Anakin with a blade, after all she had never been much of a swordsman by the standards of the Jedi. Still, she managed to hold her own through a mix of swordplay and trickery for several minutes before she at last was pierced through the midsection by Vader's blade and crumpled to the ground.
Coruscant
Silver Flame
Tek reached out with his mind, trying to guide the other Jedi to the hanger and avoid any clone patrols. He suddenly felt a cold chill run down his spine and recognized Skywalker's thoughts intruding into his mind.
Kneeling in the collapsed corridor Anakin reached out with his own senses, searching for any Jedi remaining in the Temple that held the rank of Knight or higher. To his surprise her felt the presence of another Jedi attempting to do the same thing from the Main Hanger. Thanks to the cave in Anakin knew he wouldn't be able to reach the hanger before this group of Jedi had fled, but that was no reason not to taunt them.
'Running away like rats departing a sinking ship,' Anakin asked directly into the mind of the other Jedi.
Rage threatened to over take Tek as his mind was invaded by the traitor.
"It takes so much courage to slaughter unarmed children...We shall meet again, I promise you that."
Tek regained control just in the nick of time. He was dangerously close to the precipice.
"Strong words from the coward that's running away," Anakin shot back.
"I'm not running away. I'm protecting the Padawans under my care from you."
"Only until I find you and end it," Vader responded.
"You are a selfish, treasonous snake and you will die by my hand. I swear it."
"Good, give into your passion and your hate... they make you stronger."
Tek pushed Anakin from his mind, as he realized in the nick of time the dark path his thoughts were going down.

Behind the Freighter's shadow
Melfina knew she would not be much good with the fighter in combat so she stayed glued to the Freighter's sensor shadow. She kept with it so they would not have to go looking for her, she dodged in and out following the freighter and occasionally blapping off anyone who got too close for comfort

Walkway
Outside abandoned building
Faaral was dazed and head cloudy, she stumbled away from the impact crater she left on the Permacrete wall. her head hurt and she could not hear anything but the fighting around her and away, oblivious to the sound of the launching craft.
The debris of broken buildings littered the walkway which had at one point pretended to be a street, making her path traitorous. her head spun, and she was dizzy,
the force cocoon had saved her life, but her body could only take so much.
She found a dark alleyway and stumbled into it, Her body finally gave out and she collapsed against another wall and blacked out.

Faaral woke once again, this time to the sounds of chuckling. Her head hurt, her eyes refused to focus. A shape came forward and looked down at her, an alien race unfamilar to her he had reddish skin and mean green eyes.
"Well well well, look who decided to wake up" He said with a smirk. Behind him as they came into focus were several others, numbering 5 in all.
She tried to move but she had been bound. Trying to be brave she spoke "Let me go."
The male shook his head; "I don't think so. I have plans for you."
She had the distinct feeling that she had an idea of what those plans were and how rough he was with his "toys". She continued to try at the bindings, to no avail, her headache and fear kept her from reaching out with the Force.
A dark shape appeared out of the sight to one side. Emerald eyes stared from an alien face at the pitiful creatures that dared to stand in the way of her goal. She was suprised the Force led her to a location some distance from the fighting and in the lower levels of the immance planet-sized city. Someplace not even Clone Troopers would go. Once she sensed the gang she knew that the Force was testing her once again. She decided to wait and observe a bit longer, already smiling at the defiance the young Kit showed.
The unknown alien male paced in front of his captive "When i am done with you..." He trailed off, the fear building in Faaral's eyes as she squirmed at her bindings, which were both at her wrists and ankles.
"I havent done anything to you!" She said inciting laughter from the leader.
"You showed up here, and that is enough" He kicked at her, and she recoiled out of the way.
A Padawan Braid. This was too delicious, the shadow thought. Just a bit more needs to be done... So she waited.
The Leader waived his hand in a small gesture, and two of his lackys gabbed her, keeping her from moving. The leader pulled out a Vibroblade and knelt down using it to cut open her robes, exposing the fur benieth it. He used it also to cut her bra off, then used one finger to trace her chest. "Not bad, not bad at all."
Horrified Faaral tried to move back, but to no avail.
He grabbed around her throat "Try and get away and i shall be very cross." He reached down and tore away her panties, the goons ripping off the remains of her robes and tossing them aside, laughing at her struggles.
Faaral screamed "somebody, aneybody HEL---!"
He grabbed her muzzle to hold it shut. "Now, now, there is nobody here to hear you scream, not down here. and even if there was, they would not come down here."
The fear from the youngling was delicious. Time to move. "I beg to differ..." She purred as she stepped out of the shadows, concealed under a black cloak, standing just over five foot tall. Not very imposing compared to the gang members. "I do believe you have something that belongs to me."
The leader looked over, standing to his full height. "Nice, another one has wandered into my turf. You will have to pay for being down here!" He said, making his way toward the hooded and cloaked female.
She laughed at his defiance. If he only knew! "Oh, I'm afraid that I do not share your optimistic appraisial of the situation!" The cloak parted and a black gloved hand emerged, the palm casualy facing the male whom was suddenly stopped in his tracks, his neck slowly constricting inward as he was lifted off the ground to just over a foot. "The female is Mine, because I am going to take her from you. Any objections?" The muzzle, for that was all that could be seen under the cloak, seemed to smile.
As he lifted off the ground he managed to make out one more word; "*****~!" Before he struggled for air, the Vibroblade he had dropped to the ground as his finger dug at his throat to try and pull away the constriction.
Faaral squirmed and inched her way into a corner as the thugs forgot they were holding her as they looked back and forth at their floating leader and the one dressed in black.
"Now, that is just not nice!" Her fingers closed into a fist, snapping his neck in a very audiable, sickening, crunch. The fingers then flew open, sending the now dead gang leader through the air into two of his companions. At least one died with another bone crunching sound as the pile of bodies hit the floor.
She took several slow steps toward the other two. "Now... where was I? Oh yes... I was retrieving my property... Are we going to have any more trouble?" She glared at the remaining two.
After figuratively picking their mouths off the ground they shook their heads and ran off.
Faaral in the meantime, still in pain was cured into what closely reselmbled teh fetal position whimpering in pain and fear.
"I take that as a no..." She muttered almost to herself before stepping forward and looking down at Faaral. She held a hand over the youngling and the bindings fell away, leaving her free. Emerald eyes shined from under the hood. "I know you are still awake. I offer to take you someplace safe. But you must stand and follow me..." She said simply before turning away.
Faaral got up, arms crossed over her breasts, her tattered robed barly covering the rest. She followed the stranger to an aircar parked in a reletive clearing hidden just around the corner and when offered the seat she got in and had managed to sit before blacking out, from the stress and the pain she had endured.
The Dark Lord of the Sith touched a control and sent it on Autopilot to the private landing pad at her former Master's suite. Once they were on their way, she glanced at the unconsous Amaran Kit and reached out, almost tenderly, to lay a gloved hand on her head.
It was a tender moment for someone following what the Galaxy had long seen as an 'evil' religion. But as this youngling will learn... there was more to being a Sith than just being bad...
She will ensure it...

Freighter
Birdy One
"Gotcha, Silver Flame." said Resquar. She did an evasive and then dived in on the attack, firing the blasters of the freighter at the battery attacking them and the Silver Flame. "Pretty, isn't it?" she said as the battery exploded. "And I have the coordinates. We'll be off."
The freighter, dubbed Birdy One, swerved and again did the ascent, more maneuverable than any thought. She had done her job well, and had the souped-up freighter in top condition and more.

Jedi Fighter
In the air
Upon getting the word about making his run, Blake banked in hard shoving the throttle forward and kicking in the air brakes making the fighter roll over on a sharp line on the expose hall, Blake angled in on the hall with the gunsights in line on the moving line. Since there was no electrontics to signal for a direct lock, he thumbed the trigger sending a deadly spray of bullets into the clone ranks as time and space seemed to slow down however he released the brakes sending the fighter screaming just barely above the surface of what remained of the temple.
The clones started returning the fire causing Blake to jerk away from his run as several of the bolts hit the outside of the shields with the R2 unit screaming in warning. He didn't need to look at the screen to know what the droid said, "I know we are taking hits. I am going to make a run-"
"Here are the coordinates for the jump to Byss in the Deep Core," Arali said, plugging them into the hyperdrive. As she fed the coordinates in the freighter rocked from ground fire. "We could use some help on the guns," she hollered into the main part of the ship.
Jerking his head in the direction of the hangar, he could see blaster fire from the AA Turrets hitting the freighter although he could see that the guns on the freighter were all ready firing on the turrets. Turning in he started in on the turrets to give the freighter some help.

Penthouse Suite
Faaral woke up in a comfortable bed in a hotel penthouse suite, clean and warm. The room strangely feels safe, but something is still very wrong about that sensation.
The first thing Faaral noticed was that she was no longer in pain, she could not remember how she got here. then it came flooding back. The Temple, Invaded. The escape. Jumping off the high hanger ledge and dropping below. The Gang. she looked around and spotted the figure in black. "who...who are you?" she stammered
The figure looks up from a nearby table sipping tea. She folds her hood back, revealing herself to be an older Amaran. "I am someone whom has apparently saved your life, young one." She spoke in the native trader's tongue of their homeworld.
Faaral switched from Basic to the same language. "but how, the Jedi are all running. even the Greys are in hiding. who sent you?" she asked (i
Byrna chuckled. "Yes, so I hear." She paused. "I came for you." A gloved hand motioned to the trey before her. "Breakfast?"
Faaral was up and made her way to the tray and took some food, carefully eating, only then realizing her nudity. she used one arm to cover herself as she used the other to eat. "has the counsel actually been sending people back for us?"
"I'm afraid the Jedi Counsel is no more. The few whom have survived have gone into hiding. The last ships escaped the Jedi Temple not too long ago." The older Amaran said quietly, sitting back to watch her.
Faaral rose her head as something clicked "your not Jedi are you?" the memory of the encounter flashed before her eyes. the Punk had his throat crushed. Jedi do not do that. "you are one of Palpatines Minions aren't you?" she recoiled and instinctively reached for the saber hilt that was not there.
Byrna laughed. A strange, musical sound coming from someone whom was supposed to be a Sith. "No... no. Of course not!" She chuckled. "Palpatine is an idiot. He is not a True Sith. Morons like him are the reason for all those rumors and things they teach you in that Temple about what true Sith are." She smiled, leaning on the table toward the Youngling. "I am a True Sith. We are not evil for evil's sake. The Dark Side is indeed dangerous, and many of us following such a path have failed, and thus been driven insane like the new 'Emperor of the Galaxy'." She spat the title in sarcasm.
This made Faaral pause "but you betray and kill each other. thats in the Archives." she said, and then remembered the Data Crystal she had filled before leaving.
"The Sith you hear about from the Jedi are out to kill every single thing, correct? True Sith don't do that. For one, it draws attention to us that we would rather avoid as it would interfere with our studies." She smirked. "Also, you can't enjoy your toys if you break them!"
Faaral's ears folded "toys? so i am merely a novelty to you then?"
Again, that amused chuckle. "Being a Sith is more complex than simply 'being evil and killing everyone else' my dear. It takes years if not decades just to understand the basics. I have been a Sith for nearly 50 years myself and only recently became a Master. It will take some time to explain everything to you..." She waved off unimpressed. "But I'm sure you as a Jedi don't want to hear it all..."
Faaral thought for a moment "is it true though that when something is of use to you...." she trailed off, thinking of ways of how she would survive this, being here was just as dangerous if not more so than the alleyway with the rape gang
"Then we go after it, young one. Otherwise, I would have probably let them have you..." She folded gloved hands together. "But then I felt your fear. I figured I could teach you, if you were willing." A pause. "But if your not interested, I do have a ship and could drop you off somewhere..." Byrna tilted her head, waiting for her response.
Faaral thought for a moment longer before she made up her mind "allright, fine. i will stay. but is you turn me over to Palpatine i will not forgive you" she tried to sound non-plussed but inwardly she was still frightened
Byrna smirked. "You have a connection to the Force. Giving such a valuable asset as you to such a moron goes against what I believe in." With a hand, the blanket drifts off the bed to drape around Faaral. "I could teach you the other side of the coin, so to speak, and you will hopefully have the ability to make your own decision." She smiled. "But I sense there is something else you need to do?"
Faaral looked undecided as to weather or not to tell this mystery woman.
The Sith sat there and smiled.
Faaral decided "i had something important on my person when i left the temple"
"Go on..." Byrna said softly, no forcing on her part.
"a Data Crystal i downloaded archive files onto"
Byrna nodded. "It would be of use to me and the escaped Jedi."
"it is full compression, the data inside will have to be decrypted and used in a high memory module." Faaral said feeling less threatened by this presence now that she had the blanket around her
Byrna waived her hand "I have access to computers. My ship could take us there."
Faaral saw the tattered remains of her robed and moved to them, digging into a hidden pocket and pulled out the Crystal, about the size of an average human thumb
Byrna smiled when she saw it. "I doubt that is everything from the archives. They've been collecting all sorts of information for almost 2,000 years. But this will help." She stood. "I will have clothes brought for you. It would probably be easier for you to sleep on my ship."
Faaral nodded "indeed, it is a fraction of the archives, most of this is from the training files for Padawans" she stood before the Mystery woman "i am Faaral" she said finally
Byrna smiled. "I am Lady Byrna..." She placed a hand on the Kit's shoulder.
Faaral closed her eyes. the thought that meeting a sith would cause her life to end shortly, unless she had attained Knight status in which she would have to defend herself. This was different

OOC: Everyone except Faaral and Byrna wrap up your pre-jump activities. We'll be hitting hyperspace for our first jump in my next post. Good job so far everyone. PLEASE REMEMBER PLACE TAGS.
Knight One
Coruscant
"Nice shooting Three," Eld said, catching a glimpse of the destruction that one of the other fighters was causing. The Kel Dor also didn't miss the fact that Knight Two was staying close the the Silver Flame. "Two, stay with Birdy One," the Jedi barked. If the pilot in Two was unsure of their abilities he would just as soon have them remain close to the freighter where both could cover one another.
Rolling over in the air, Eld dove his fighter on another AA emplacement. Streams of ionized tibanna gas poured from the fighter as another AA emplacement wen up in a fireball, clearing a narrow corridor for the freighter to escape through. "That does it! Punch through and break atmo. Knight Three, form up on Birdy's port side, I'll take starboard. Knight Group will need time to complete docking procedures with the hyperdrive rings in orbit before we make the jump."

Birdy One
"Birdy One, making ascent out of atmosphere and ready to make the jump when you are." said Resquar. She accelerated, going through the window created by the fighters and ascending away from the planet. She saw much evidence of the battles going on down at the world below.
This was the beginning of a new adventure, and if any thought there was trepidation in her, they didn't know Resquar, a tough old bird. She chuckled to see her escort on either side of the ship. She wasn't exactly helpless, but she didn't squawk at their presence.

Knight 2
Melfina continued to huddle close to the Freighter and pop off anyone who got in her line of fire. Making low orbit she detected the Hyperdrive collars drifting free, some damaged, some functional she found hers in operational condition, but found Knight 3's to be disabled from an impact with debris. she scanned quickly and found several candidate replacements and sent them over "you may want to take this shopping list and your pick of the collars." she reported over the channel. now was not the time to be picky. Melfina broke free of the Freighter's sensor shadow and docked with the collar, the Droid onboard squawking and a translation came on screen:
Collar hyperdrive core is low on fuel. Refueling recommended
"great just great. give me a map of how far we can get before our next stop please" she asked the droid, and a readout displayed. she relayed the report to Birdy One.

In the Air
The call over the radio for regroup made Blake break away from his final run and move toward the fleeing freighter. Flipping the fighter over on its top allowing for him to look at what remained of the Jedi Temple as fires still burned from the battles that probably still raged on inside. The building that he once considered home for his entire life now lay in ruins causing him to wonder if they would ever be able to return to the academy ever again.
Rolling the fighter back over, Blake angled the fighter up alongside the freighter as it broke through the atmosphere. Breaking away from the ship slightly, he aligned the fighter to the ring that was indicated for that fighter only to find that it was damaged beyond repair because of debris causing him to swallow hard. Suddenly the comm blared to life from one of the other pilots as data started scrolling across the screen.
"you may want to take this shopping list and your pick of the collars."
"Acknowledged, One. Thank you for your help, I owe you one." Blake said offering a smile before turning toward one of the rings that were indicated. Swinging the fighter into a different ring, he felt the ring attached to his fighter and the R2 unit was all ready slaving the navigation to the freighters.

OOC: GM Post, very brief.
Orbit
Coruscant
Once all of the Jedi Starfighters had completed their docking maneuvers with hyperdrive rings. True, one of the rings was a bit low on fuel, but it would be easy enough to remedy that shortcoming at Byss which was just a short jump from Coruscant, though it would take a bit of doing since Byss was in the deep core.
Sitting in the co-pilot's seat Arali saw the transmission come in from Knight Two. Thinking quickly Arali plugged in a new destination near Byss. They would all jump in and then the Flame would continue on to Byss and get the fuel supplies that were needed. When the consoles and everything beeped indicating all the fighters were slaved in and the coordinates and route were plotted the four ships and escaping Jedi slid easily into hyperspace.

"Acknowledged, Knight Squadron." said Resquar. She kept in close with the others. She could have jumped to hyperdrive herself, but saw the need to keep in close with the Knight Squadron. So, she locked in with the others and jumped to light speed with them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Cazak awoke with a groan, holding his sides. "Ooooooooohhhhhhh...." he moaned. "I just...hurt all over." He looked over to Dobby and Mira, who were seated near him. "Dobby." he said, weakly. "You're alive. I was so worried that I had killed you or something when I almost went over. I came as close to the Dark Side as anybody had a right to be, and almost got swallowed up." He had to stop to breathe. "I'm sorry, Master Star, my anger blinded me, but I know better now. I know the Dark Side for what it is." He looked down at Goloft's red lightsaber in his hands. "Master Goloft came to me after the struggle and wanted me to have this, but I had to learn to use it. And also to learn to construct one of my own eventually. He wanted me to keep it in his memory. I have renounced any claim to vengeance, as it is the path that the Dark side tempted me in. He handed it to Mira. "Could you deactivate it or reduce it to practice mode for me? I promise not to use it until I'm ready. But I need to keep it in memory of Master Goloft and the others."
He moaned again in pain, trying to control it as Master Yoda had taught him. He had rejected the Dark Side, but it had done damage to him.
Tag Mira, Dobby, others on the freighter, Knight Squadron.

Coruscant Orbit
Once she had the two younglings settled to where they wouldn't be tossed around too much, and had S'yndar to stay near them, Mira went into a meditative state, her breathing slowed, as she let the Force flow about her and through her. A vision came to mind of a Jedi she knew,Master Fel Vreini, she had struck up an odd friendship with him, with him working with her off and on when she arrived at the Temple years ago.
As the vision flowed within her mind, to her consternation Mira saw a terrible scene. In the open air as the ships took flight, Master Vreini being fired upon by many clone troopers! Absorbing the bolts he... he.. Mira's eyes popped open with a bit of a cry on her lips. Quickly she glanced around and noticed that Cazak had woken up.
He was handing her the sword he had taken from Keela... her mind barely registering his words. Nodding she took it and placed it on her belt. "I will hold onto it for you at this time." Mira answered quietly and seeming to be slightly distracted.
Dobby was just watching both Cazak and Mira noticing the heat readings from them both. Master Star seemed strangely distraught while Cazak was radiating pain.
"I'm glad you didn't die on me." Dobby said.
S'yndar looked at the Youngling Chetik. "You certainly seemed to face off with an enemy of yours." He quietly said. "I'm glad you succeeded in your trial."
Mira focused back on Cazak, "Here, let me help you alleviate the pain." she said reaching out to touch his shoulder, then closing her eyes and willing the pain to leave using the force.

"Thank you, Master Star." said Cazak, who seemed to relax a little. He had been hurt very deeply by the darkside and would take time to heal. "And yes, master S'yndar, I did face off with an enemy. And it was me. I saw myself as I would have been if I had yielded to the Dark Side of the Force. It was terrible. Worse than Anakin is now. There would have been no hope for me if it had happened, but I did overcome him. I see into the Dark Side and see it is growing stronger in the galaxy as we speak. But there is still hope for Master Skywalker. There is still a part of him that remains untouched by Darth Vader as he has become.
I felt it was because he didn't turn for selfish reasons, but for another, who or what, I don't know. But none of us can bring him back, for none of us was that close to him. It would have to be somebody very close, but who, I can't see. It is a slim hope, but better than nothing.
But I'm talking too much. I need to rest."
Cazak had grown in wisdom, even as he looked like he had aged during the encounter with his darker self. And he had learned it the hard way.

S'yndar chuckled, "Cazak, just to let you know, I'm not even a Jedi Knight yet." The young Vurk said. "I'm still a Padawan, and will probably be one a bit longer due to what has happened." He shrugged. "
The Vurk padawan, stretched out his long legs. "I'm going to have to find another Master to do more training due to my Master having been killed."S'yndar remarked non-chalantly. It almost seemed that he didn't have a care in the world, and that losing his master didn't bother him.

Open Air - Coruscant - Temple District
1000 meters above ground level
Jedi Master Fel Vreini was flying like a bird... well, like a brick. He had expended most of the energy in both the blast and protecting himself from the blast, he had been hurled up and out of the hanger deck, and now was at his apogee, in a moment he would be going down, and never had been able to lift a stylus from a table, much less himself off a kilometer of air.
He had drawn himself into himself, closing himself from the force for the first time in nearly three decades. Skywalker wanted the Jedi dead, if he felt Fel then he would know he was still alive, Fel wanted Skywalker to think he had died in that force explosion.
Now the hard part, he had to make sure he didn't die on impact with the ground...
One of the things he loved to study was nature, and just two months ago he had been studying a flying rodent, that really was misnamed since it didn't not fly but glided on skin flaps. Fel's loose fitting silk long tunic was flapping around him, he reached down and grabbed as low as he could on it and pulled it out like the rodent's skin flaps. He felt the change, he didn't slow, but now instead of falling down he was moving forward. He might get away with it.
He wanted to kill his speed, he was going rather fast, so he arched his body and encouraged a lift. TO MUCH!! He stalled instantly and started falling feet first, only just twisting enough to get himself going again. His arms were shaking from the strain, his hands were starting to cramp, if he used the force he could stay like this all day, but by doing that he also would tell Skywalker he was still alive. He had to get down.
He found what he wanted, a fast moving air lorry, a long haul freight vehicle under him and almost going the same direction. A few small adjustments of weight and he had lined up with the cargo area. Fel hit the roof of the lorry running and only managed to stop before running off the front. Finding a small shelter from the slipstream he lay down and relaxed himself. He didn't know where he was going but the further away the better.
He would be making a few modifications to his tunic before he jumped out of any more building he decided.

Cazak smiled, even laughed to hear what S'yndar said, for the first time since the massacre, when he thought he would never smile or laugh again. "Of course. Forgive me, please. It's just that compared to me, you are a master. I don't know how I'll be a Padawan, as my fur doesn't grow long enough to make a braid. But I'll call you S'yndar if it's ok." He looked over at Mira. Her help had helped him control his pain. That was only the first step. "Are you all right, Master? Anything we can do to help?"
Then his feelings, and his memory of what Master Goloft had said in that other plane came to him, and he said "Master Star, I pledge myself to your teachings. Please take me as a Padawan to learn the ways of the Force. I will study and do what you say in all things." He knew it would be a long and hard road for him. The quick and easy way was the way of the Dark Side, and he had irrecovably rejected that. He looked up at her with a look of trust, with none of the turmoil that was formerly in him. That had been burned out of him at great cost.
Resquar, hearing that, chuckled. "You've come a long way, Cazak my dear. You've avoided the Dark Side and are learning the Light Side of the Force. Just don't let those Masters turn you to the Dull Side. That would ruin you. Master Yoda often puts me to sleep with his lectures. He knows the Dull Side very well." The bird laughed again.

S'yndar nodded, "That is fine, Cazak, I don't mind at all. I had the same difficulty as to the braid, since I don't have hair I couldn't very well wear one. You just wear the braid in your heart and that will suffice." The Vurk Padawan replied. "That is what I do."
Dobby looked at Cazak, "I won't be wearing a braid either when I become a padawan. I may have some hair but don't think it will grow that long."
Mira started to chuckle, "If you wish to have a braid perhaps I can make one out of some of my hair for you to wear, Cazak. Now to talk about you becoming my padawan, I need to meditate on it. Normally it is the Master or the will of the force who makes the decision and not the one desiring to be the padawan." she gently placed her hand upon the Chetik's shoulder. "And as for whether I am all right? It will pass, the death of so many has taken a toll upon me, but not only me others as well."
She looked over towards Arali, S'yndar, Dobby and to those who are flying in the other ships.

Melfina felt her body shake as she rested, the autopilot being slaved into the freighter she finally came to rest in the seat.
~
Melfina was hot.She could not remember ever being this overheated. it was dry as well. a roaring sound from over a red crusty hill. she made her way over that hill and gazed at a lake of Lava. droids and machinery were hovering over it, heat shields protecting them from melting. there was a pair of figures in the distance, distorted by the waves of heat. lightsabers were engaged and they were fighting. she did not know who they were, or why they were fighting each other. when one ended up on the embankment on the side closer to her, she saw the other exicute a force leap and get his limbs chopped off...
~
Gasping she woke up, not knowing how long she was asleep. her fur matted down with sweat. what did this dream mean? who were the people fighting? she pushed it to the back of her mind for now, there would be plenty of time to contemplate it later.

"I understand, Master." said Cazak. "It affected me strongly as well. Almost turned me to the dark side. The Force be with you."
He patted Dobby's hand. "We'll get out of this, and be stronger for it. Though rough times are ahead for us and the rest of the galaxy for a while. The dark side is getting stronger. We'll need to weather this storm, and keep hope alive until..."
Until what? he thought. He saw that none of them had been close enough to Anakin to bring him out of the monster that was now Darth Vader, but who? And when? He didn't know. He wished Master Yoda was with them.
"Hang on." said Resquar. We're about to make the jump out of hyperspace to our first stop. We'll need to refuel there. Dropping out....now."
