Iego-Angels and Gods

[Aeon Kensho™]

Iego was a planet located in the Extrictarium Nebula in the Outer Rim Territories. Due to the obscurity of the Nebula, Iego did not appear on any star charts. This has drawn some attention to this planet. The senate has sent diplomats none have returned. Iego did not orbit a sun; rather, it was warmed by local stellar gases. It was a different sort of planet. The senate has asked the Jedi council for aid with this situation. While the number of Jedi knights is still limited, the Sith seemed to have disappeared from the galaxy.

In spacer lore, Iego was considered a mythical location, and was the subject of many stories and rumors. Many a pilot set out to find the planet, though few succeeded, and the ones who did were for the most part unable to leave. They planet is surrounded by a large graveyard of starships. Due to the amount rumors surrounding the planet, as well as its continued unconfirmed location, most members of the galaxy's scientific community dismissed Iego as a space farer's tale. For some reason none have returned. The lore says a god controls the system. Only a Jedi could find the location and discern the situation here. Finding the planet would be difficult, As would leaving. Many believe this planet to be cursed.

Reports from the Jedi archives state that a-During the Clone Wars, the Separatists invaded the planet and established battle droid garrisons, but eventually abandoned the planet. Before leaving, they installed an orbital security system that destroyed any ship trying to leave the system. The inhabitants of the planet believed the amount of casualties in orbit was because of the wrath of "Drol", a destructive spirit that would allow nobody to leave the planet.

At some point in the past spice convoys visited the planet and brought more civilized living to the inhabitants. They eventually dried up, and Iego became increasingly isolated.

It has to be a Jedi Knight to unravel this mystery. And this Jedi knight will have to be a crack pilot. As decreed by the Jedi council Zaos Felreave will investigate the disappearance and mystery that surrounds this world.

[Zaos Felreave]

[The stars whizzed past in a large blur of needle-like light, slowing, unblurring to the orbs of white against the blank blackness of space as I came out of hyperdrive. I immediately had to take evasive actions, ship wreckage was scattered around the space, and I had to maneuver between the floating chunks of metal. The Nebula was vast, and not having Iego mapped on a starchart would make this a little more difficult. I had enough fuel, for now, and hopefully would retain it. I sent out no signals or beacons, I wanted my presence to be unknown to any possible enemies in this system.]





"Planet Iego, Is there anyone there? Will anyone respond? I request landing privelages."

[My fighter stalked closer to the planet in silence for several minutes, while I awaited a transmission back...yet none came. I tried several more times, receiving only static as my reply.]





"Hello? Is there anyone here? I do not wish to harm you, I come in peace, the Jedi have sent me."

[Yet I still received no response...perhaps this village was uninhabited,,,,then I sensed the action behind me, at the doorway. but by now it was too late, so I raised my hands over my head, slowly turning around, to see several human males, in their late 30's or early 40's from the looks of it, each holding a blaster towards me.]

[One of them stepped forward, placing the blaster against my stomach.]

"What are you doing here?! You cannot leave this place, you will be trapped like the rest of us now! Unless..you came to enslave us!? The mines are dried out, there is no more spice, I should kill you now!"

"Please, hear me out. I am not here to enslave you...I am here to help. I am Zaos Felreave, Jedi Knight. I'm here to investigate, and put a stop to whatever it is that is preventing escape from this planet."

[The men muttered to themselves, whispering things that I did not want to listen in on, I was playing by their rules, I did not need a reason for anger.]

"Its no use, Jedi...He won't let you leave...But come with us, we will tell you what we know..come, come."

[Zaos Felreave]

[We entered a fortified domicile, it seemed as though it was made to keep unwanted guests out....but from what I could see, there was nobody else around for miles. Several small lights gave the room an eery, orange glow, as we all sat around a small table, once used for projections, now useless after destruction of its visual matrix.]

"We've been on this planet for decades...we'ld given up hope that someone would come...but I still have little faith, even though you're here now."

[The man seemed to be a leader of sorts, everyone nodded when he spoke, he was a man of great respect, I could sense that same respect, directed toward him from the others.]

"Before I ask more, I notice there are no women or children...Are they in hiding?"

[This question hit a sore spot...the room became filled with sadness as the man took a slow breath before answering.]

"There were women and children...once...But...You cannot blame us...there was an opening...after the tribute to Thral...We thought we could escape...of course, not all of us would make it..so we chose to send away the women and children, to bring back help...You probably saw the wreckage of that shuttle, floating above the planet.



"Thral? Who is this Thral?"

"Thral is ...some say he is a God...a powerful being, that shines with a dark light...I say he's a beast, feeding on our sorrow, keeping us trapped here!"

[The room was once more filled with the will of Combat...each man her, willing to sacrifice his life, just for a chance, a small hope, that this, Thral, could be stopped.]

"And this Thral....Thral is the one responsible for nobody being able to leave?"

[The man gave me a nod and looked out the window..though the room was dark, lit only by several lamps, it was not even 'sunset', a term they probably never used here...as there wasn't truly a sun.]

"You chose a very good 'season' to stop in, Jedi....it is almost time for the Tribute to Thral."

[My brow quirked slightly, this was the second mention of a tribute.]

"This tribute...what of it? Why pay tribute to a being who keeps you trapped?"

"Because, Jedi...If we do not pay tribute....he sends down his warrior slaves...slaves who were once our friends...he knows we cannot shoot at them."

"Could you not set your blasters to stun, and take on hostage?"

[The man shook his head in disdain before replying.]

"We have tried..its very hard to stun a Diathim.

[Diathim....I had heard that name before....the Diathim were the "Angels" that inhabited one of the moons of this planet...its said that they shone brilliantly...called angels for their ethereal white glow and wings...but the Thral they described..he too sounded like a Diathim...if not in reverse. The records said nothing of the Diathim having such destructive power though.]

"Well, it is my job to find out what is going wrong, and to help solve the problem...I hope you will be a help in this endeavor, it would be much harder to do this alone."

"We will help you, Jedi. But do not expect us to throw our lives away idly....We fight to find a way to get off this rock...But you had best believe, we won't die for a cause that will never happen..don't take away our hope."



"If its alright with you, I'ld like to continue this in the morning...it was a 'long' trip here, and I've some work of my own to do."

[The man motioned for several of the men to come over, and he gave some orders. They gave him a small salute, and walked over to me.]

"We'll be escorting you to your residence."

"Thank you."

[The men walked ahead of me, constantly checking around every corner for a possible enemy. My residence was not far from where their 'base' was, so that made me wonder even more, how much the Archives did not know of the nature of the Diathim.]

[When we finally arrived, they opened the door with a small cardkey, giving it to me once they had opened it. They explained that the cardkey will open any locked door in this village, but that I should only use it on this residence.]

"I've no plans to do otherwise. Thank you for the escort."

[The men left, and I walked throughout the dusty residence. Nobody had lived in this domicile for at least 5 years, any and all furniture was tattered, and rotted, broken down. The only thing that was suitable, was a Cot, that seemed to be placed her not long after I landed....they must have been planning for my stay since then.]



"A Jedi must not feel Anger...A Jedi must never attack in hate...A Jedi will never attack an unarmed opponent unless exceedingly hostile...A lightsaber is a Jedi's most precious posession, and his most dangerous ally beside the Force..."

[Zaos Felreave]

"...always let the Force guide you young Jedi.."

[The holocron ending as I wake from my sleep, rising from the cot, my legs hanging over the side. It was quite a deep sleep..the holocron must have repeated several times. By the amount of light shining in through the window, it seemed to be late afternoon, and there was some luke-warm food resting on the bedside table. I ate the food and re-dressed, my robes flowing around my body as I stepped out from the room, taking in a quick gasp, my hands instinctively shooting to the lightsaber hilts at my sides.]

"Oh dear, I'm sorry for surprising you young Jedi! I've been waiting to take you to see Mograine."



"No apologies sir. Please, by all means, take me to him."

[With a nod, the messenger made a gesture of his hand to follow, and I did. We walked through the path, the messenger telling me of the architecture, and how proud they once were of their buildings, before they became so isolated.]

[After several minutes of scattered conversation, we came upon a pair of rather large doors. They seemed to be the most re-inforced, and stood about two times my height. The Messenger knocked three times, and then swiped a card through a small slide that melded in with the frame..]

"A hidden locking mechanism..makes sense if Mograine is their leader..but why would a lock be needed with such a small amount of people in this particular settlement.." I thought to myself as we walked forward into what was most likely once a town hall, now modified to be a single large office, and looking at a picture of past leaders, was the same man I spoke to last night, Mograine.

"Good to see you again young Jedi...I hope you found your lodging to be acceptable. Please, sit." Gesturing with a wave of his hand to a chair in front of crescent shaped desk, as he took the opposite seat.

"More than acceptable sir, I slept wonderfully. Forgive my haste, but, why is it you've summoned me?

[Mograine chuckled and shook his hand in front of himself.]

"No need to be so formal, young Jedi. But that would be best. Straight to business..."



"This was found last night by some of our scouts..I'm sure you'll recognize it.."

[My eyes widened slightly as I held up the small badge..anyone from the core worlds of the galaxy would recognize this..most definitely a Jedi..]

"Indeed I do...this signet is used by the dignitaries of Coruscant..when sent to other planets, to assure peace and no ill will..where did your scouts find this?"

"It was found buried along with some scrap metal..well, its scrap metal now..the remains of a ship. From what I was told, the entire aft of the ship was deteriorated. No remains were found, save this token."



"This isn't the first you've found..from your demeanor I can see that much...I'm going to have to contact my Master, and let him know of this..One moment please."

[Mograine nodded and another man walked up, and they began to speak softly as I pulled out my communicator]

"Master Aeon, this is Zaos Felreave, do you copy?"

[No sound returned, save the sound of electronic static..an all too familiar sound..communications were being jammed. I placed the communicator back in my robes and turned back to Mograine..the situation was even worse now that it truly dawned on me...this planet...nothing more than a large prison, with this Thral keeping them here, and something blocking any communication from being made..]

"I could have told you that wouldn't work.."



"Mograine...I was sent here to investigate the strange goings on...and it appears I've found a clue. The badges you have found, there were dignitaries sent here from the Senate, their job was to find out just why Iego was no longer on the Star charts..and they never even managed to make contact with you.."



"Like I said..I was sent here merely to investigate...not to free a trapped people...but the situation appears to be more dire than anyone could have imagined. I'm going to get to the bottom of this..and should you find a chance, any small chance to escape..take it. I will do what I must in order to find out what is going on..But before I can do any of that, I'm going to have to ask you and your men a favor."

[Mograine nodded and the other men in the room stepped forward, at attention, like a militia, the militia they were.]

"We are at your Disposal, young Jedi. We will do all we can to aid you."



"I'm going to ask that your men gather any and all debris, parts, everything. We're going to be building a ship."

[Mograine had a confused look on his face when I said this.]

"We've already got a shuttle to leave..but we can't, Thral will not-"



"This ship is not for escaping..this ship is to catch a glimpse of the gods."

[It dawned on them what my plan was...The ship that would be created would serve to draw out "Thral" so that I could see who we dealt with..And once I saw what that was..I could lead these people through the bars of this makeshift prison..and fulfill my mission as well.]

"We'll start right away. Men! Go, be quick with your work!"

[Aeon Kensho™]

(The Imperial star destroyer tears out of hyperspace! Explosions tearin through the hull the ship lights up as it head into what appears to be some sort of shipyard. Feeling the scrap of a graveyard slamming into the destroyer something else begins to slice the ship up. Already in a shuttle ready to exit the hangar we punch the throttle hoping to make it to the surface of Iego.)

(Having serious wounds inflicted upon him Jedi Master Vax Kote lays on a medical table. While his master Aeon Kensho sits in the co-pilot seat. Hopefully the shuttle can maneuver it's way through whatever is happening all around us. Adjusting the speed capabilities through a sub menu on the control in the center console.)

(Twisting into a roll we spin through the first sections of these lasers? Not only having to dodge these mystery lasers we have to make our way through this grave yard. A few knicks on our shields from the lasers send the sensors in the ship into a hissy! Flashing red light fill the cockpit.)

"Front deflector screen is down! I will try to re-route power from the rear shields.

(Twisting a knob I open the digital display screen to reconfigure the shield's power distribution. It only takes a few minutes. Angling the deflector shields to help us through one of our wings is hit!)

"We've been hit! We're going down. We will have to attempt a crash landing on the planets surface. Hang on!"

(Smoke billows off one of the wings as we decend into the the atmosphere of Iego. As usual it seems one mission lead to the next. The Force guiding our movements, I was sure this was Iego. Jedi Knight Zaos Felreave went missing on a mission here. With the short amount of time we have spent in the Iego system i can see why.)

[Vax Kote™]

((Blue- Leo
Green- Axe Ordo))

{Captain Axe Ordo}

-Axe's muscles flex as he pulls the controls to the ship back. Sweat trickles from his cheek down to his neck. The struggle to maintain control of the shuttle while keeping everyone on board alive was enough to worry about as is. Only through Axe expert piloting skills would only guide them to saftey to the planet that they decsended upon. The shuttle slammed to the left being hit in the wings. Smoke billowed from the damaged wings while Axe struggled to maintain control of the shuttle.-

-The rocking sent the two of the troopers forward causing them to nearly fly out of the seats. Leo the second-in-command of the ship flew back next to Don and the rookie. Standing up Leo turned jumping into a seat and pulled the harness down locking himself into place. The shuttle continued in a downward spiral towards the planet - Axe moving the controls - avoiding what looked like a defensive grid to the planet.-

-Axe pulled up just as the shuttle emerged through the atmosphere of the planet. His eyes closed tightly as he pulled the controls back trying to level the shuttle for a crash landing towards one of the landing pads of the city.-

"Everyone hold on tight. This is going to be a bumpy landing."

-Clicking one of the buttons he activated the landing gear while re-routing the shield generator power to the engines to slow the shuttle down. Pulling the controls back more and more the shuttle slowly leveled out until it crashed onto the landing pad sending smoke and dirt everywhere. The shuttle slid to a stop several feet from on-lookers and many other buildings. Within the shuttle Axe let go of the controls and leaned back in his seat.-

"Boy was that tough I am pretty sure General Kote would not of liked the way I landed his shuttle."

"I am sure he could of done the same Captain Axe. That expert piloting skills saved everyones life here including General Kote's."

"I guess you are right. Where are we anyway?"

"I believe this is Iego. The Force has guided us, But we should be cautious. I sense a disturbance in the Force. A young Jedi Knight named Zaos Felreave disappeared here over a year ago. All sentries sent by the order vanished as well. We would be wise to excise caution."

(Looking out the window I see a number of basic battle droids approaching our ship. Waving for everyone to stay on board. Opening the loading ramps door the ramp is destroyed. Jumping out the droids lift blasters. Lifting both hands open I show I am unarmed. Or so it would appear to a non force user. My long brown sleeve move back on my forearm as I lift my hands. My tunic is a light brown color and the garments of my under robes were a beige silk.)

(It appears a middle aged man has control of these droids. Placing my deactivated saber on the ground before me.)


"Please there is no need for hostilities. I hoped we could talk like civilized people. We."


"Are you a Jedi?"

"Perhaps if you can help our wounded I can help you in some way?"

(A droid grabs my silver lightsaber hilt before me. Not wanting to have to sink to violence I play along for the time being. Medical droids help the team. All of us are disarmed, My discipline connection to the Force was more deadly than any weapon. Jedi didn't use their powers for attack though. So I was left to more subtle means of persuasion.)

(Upon being brought inside I don't mind trick the man. He showed us compassion and helped us even if he is over whelmed by fear. I sense it isn't fear of us. One word keeps plaing through this man's mind-Thrall.)

"Well you said you would help Jedi? There is plenty for you to do on this accursed planet. God and angels my backside! More like Under lord and Demons is more like it!"

"What can you tell me about what is going on here? Also have any other Jedi been seen on the surface. I am looking for someone that was lost a long time ago. For someone as powerful as he to be stuck here speaks magnitudes of this dire situation."

{OOC-Ok we are weaving or Story Lines together. Everyone do your best! }

[Vax Kote™]

-The three republic troopers that were normally under General Vax Kote's command now took their orders from General Kensho. Each of them: Leo, Don, and the rookie removed the snug imperial stormtrooper armor that they wore and replaced it with their phase I clone trooper armor that they were supposed to wear on the imperial star destroyer to help out General Kensho. Only this time around they where helping out General Kote through his injuries that he had sustained. Stepping out of the shuttle with the general Leo follows closely behind gripping tightly onto a DC-15S blaster rifle.-

-He looks on as a droid grabs the general's lightsaber away from him. Three more droids approach taking the troops blaster but did not even bother to take a look in the nap sack that Leo held at his side with both the siths lightsaber and General Kote's lightsaber. Leo took a glance back at Don and the rookie who seemed to be a little concerned of what just occured.-

"Just play along. I have a feeling that General Kensho does not want to come to any violence upon this world. They don't want any harm and so we wont give them any harm."

-Looking back over he watched several droids carry Vax's motionless body from the damaged shuttle with the pilot Captain Axe Order walking silently next to the capsule that he layed upon. A deep concern for Vax still remained with Leo because of the fact that they where on a world to where the people could turn around and kill any one of them without a seconds notice. Glancing over to the middle-aged he kept a good amount of distance between him and the middle-aged man in case he did strike out against the general.-

-However, Don and the rookie scanned their surroundings taking note of the number of battle droids that where around along with body guards and citizens that were watching the off-worlders come upon their world. Some wispered secrets of these people not able to leave the planet and other such things. It was yet another mystery that they would only have to wait for answers to questions that would come up.-

[Aeon Kensho™]

{OOC-Tsk tsk Zaos very flakey again man!}

(After listening to the elders concerns I make some demands of my own. Our interests coincided, We needed off this rock and figure out Jedi Knight Felreave's fate. They needed the oppressive force holding them here to be lifted. Once there elder had finished he plea I make one of my own.)


"I shall agree to help you if you can give the injured medical treatment and sustain them while I am gone. We will leave our team medic and what medical supplies we have. If you could spare anything it would be greatly appreciated. My star pupil Master Kote is seriously injured and will need to be monitored. Is that acceptable."

"Yes master uhh..."

"Kensho."

"Of course master Kensho. We will do all we can for your wounded. We haven't had any sightings of a Jedi. Recently though we had reports of a Republic ship landing on the surface. I am not an expert but from this still image it appears to be a Jedi star fighter from the clone wars era."

(It was a still shot of Zaos's fighter. My senses were correct he was here. If he was alive still though seemed blurred to some extent. Too much going on here and I couldn't pick up anything on his Com link's signal. Pulling my hood on I stand.)

"Do you have any speeder bikes? We could cover more ground that way."

"Of course master Jedi. I will show them to you, Right this way."

(Signaling to the hall the elder hand me my silvery Lightsaber hilt. Clipping it onto my dark brown belt, it is covered by my long brown robes. Crossing my arms in my sleeves loosely, My robes sway as myself and four other troopers accompany me. Walking into a large hangar bay speeder bikes await us. Commander Katar and the blue hands heavy gunner nick named Bruiser hop onto bikes aside myself.)

"We should split up we can cover more ground that way. Katar head with Vax's crew. Bruiser and I shall push on. If you find anything make contact before engaging any enemies or possible hostile situations."

(With a nod we speed off my hood flaps off as we blast off into the sun setting in the horizon. A red glow to the sand in front of us. I sensed a disturbance in the Force, Not sure what was causing it I punch the throttle! My brown robes flapping up in the wind dust kicks up in our wake.)

{OOC-continue on Vax not sure what Zaos will do. He has been dropping in and out for months at a time. Hopefully he will return but we can't wait on that.}

[Zaos Felreave]

((OOC: Oh ye of little faith, Master Aeon ))

[The shuttle was nearing completion, several components were missing as of yet, but they could hopefully be salvaged with little to no trouble. I had been spending the time discussing my plan with Mograine, and in theory, it would work.]

"Any news yet on the supposed meteor shower the other night?" I asked, inquiring about a rather large object that seemed to be on a crash course with the planet.

"No sir Jedi, but we have some scouts looking into it."

"Very good, Please let me know as soon as word comes.."

[There was a strange feeling tugging at the back of my mind..I knew the feeling, but it was almost as if I couldn't place it...Almost like a familiar presence, long-since past.]

"Is something wrong, Jedi?" Mograine asked, the tone of his voice seemed to be a worry.

[With a shake of my head, I looked to him and answered]"Not necessarilly wrong sir, I just...feel something. We may have company sometime soon..I suggest halting the search and getting everyone on the defensive, I'll head to the northern quarter..if anything happens, be sure to protect the project."

[He simply gave a nod, which I returned before heading out of his chambers, walking fast paced, I would be on the lookout. The presence was not very threatening..though it was unknown, or forgotten to me..I had been here so long.]

[Vax Kote™]

((Blue- Leo
Maroon- Rookie
Yellow- Don))

-Taking off in the speeder Katar took the lead of the group with Leo, Don, and the rookie following closely behind the Commander. There they dove down from the platforms passing by several green vines until they reached the bottom of the cave-like structures and sped forward. With quick speed they quickly covered almost nearly a mile of terrian from where they had left. Bringing the speeders to a stop Leo brought up some binoculers and checked the area around.-

-Something about this planet seemed to be more mysterious then ever in the troopers bones. Leo had a feeling that something un-expecting would come out against them. Not much had been said for this world only that there was a ruler who killed anyone who tried to leave the planet.-

"I have a bad feeling about this."

-Not far away a rumbling sound echoed across the canyon floor. Leo lowered his binoculers and glanced around feeling the same un-easy feeling in the pit of his stomach return once more.-

"Commander, I think we need to keep moving. I am not liking those sound movements at all."

"Once wrong rookie afraid of a ghost."

"It's nothing like that. I just have a bad feeling that someone or something will attack us without warning that is all."

-Taking a second glance around Leo lifted his binoculers in search for any "un-friendly" individuals that would pose as a threat. He had an un-easy feeling for this planet as well but did not show it physically by speaking aloud to everyone else. Placing the binoculers back into the nap sack he gave Katar the go ahead signal to move forward. Punching the throttle they sped off down the dirt and vine filled canyon.-

[Aeon Kensho™]

{OOC-Even I am wrong sometimes! LOL good to see your around still Zaos! }


(Cruising on our speeder bikes Bruiser the blue hand's heavy gunner rides aside myself. My brown Jedi robes flapping in the wind as dust kicks up behind us. Sensing fear and anxiety nearing us as we speed into a large red canyon. Red sand and rocks fills this desolate area of the planet. Much different from where we had left Vax behind.)

(Raising my fist I pull the throttle back slowing my speeder bike to a stop Bruiser follows my lead. Pulling a small scope from off my bike I scan ahead. Just as I sensed the prison block ahead. Sensing a strange disturbance in the Force it feels as flying life forms are nearing our location. Pointing my index and middle fingers to the cliff side we ride over leaving are bikes behind cover.)

(Sensing our presence was know something feels out of place here. If this was what my feelings were saying I must follow the lead of the Force. I would have never gotten this far if I didn't. Walking out in the open I have a confident gate my sleeve swinging in unison with my brown robes. Giving Bruiser the order to stay i close my fist lifting it. my brown sleeve swings down as my light brown sleeve of my tunic is revealed.)

"Stay with the bikes Bruiser. I don't think the old man was being honest. Violence might not be necessary."

(With a nod under his blue commando helmet Bruiser sinks back into cover by the bikes. Descending from the cliffs all around me I am suddenly surrounded by Diathim. The one in front of my glow with a yellow aura. Her skin so white looking directly at her skin hurts the eyes at first.)

"Another Jedi... Your comrade isn't safe. You have been deceived master Jedi. The old man works with the Sith who are oppressing the entire world. You must help us."

"I sense no deception in your words. Yet I am very attuned to sensing through the Force. How could the old man have tricked me? Unless my concern for Vax distracted me. Yet I doubt it."

You were deceived by an expert Imperial operative know as Deegan Froz. He has fulfilled plenty of contracts even on Jedi such as yourself. Now he is surely drugging your friend and setting a trap. He knows how Drol is controlled I am sure of it. Please help us return to our home on the moon."

"I will and thank you."

(Grabbing my com link there was little time to waste before the operative took Vax off planet. We had to respond quickly.)

"Commander we have been fooled. Vax isn't safe where he is. The Old man it turns out is a Imperial operative. We will rendezvous with you there."

(Running back I jump onto my speed punching the throttle full speed to get back in time. My robes flap as i pull goggles over my red glowing eyes. This was serious, Things shifted in a moment and Vax could pay the ultimate price for my error. Bruiser keeps up as I push.)

[Vax Kote™]

-Finding trouble was only half the battle when facing against the imperials. Many had the experience to see who could decieve them and kill or remove a close friend from the planet. Catching General Kensho's communication of how the old man turned out to be an Imperial Operative. This operative could of been sent by Visciouz or Zealox to assure that Master Kote would not see the light of day. Slidding the bikers to a stop Katar turned to Leo, Don, and the rookie.-

"We must return to General Kote's location. Apparently, we have been decieved by the old man who turns out to be an Imperial Operative. We have no time to waste."

"If you ask me coming here was a load of osik. It seems we can't trust anyone in the galaxy anymore."

"Well you have to figure that this world is mysterious. That whole 'Drol' business that happened during the Clone Wars was just the Separatists way of keeping people on the planet. Who knows if the same thing will happen again."

"Right but for now we must meet General Kensho back at Vax's location. It is our job to keep anyone safe even if it is a severly injured Jedi Master. So lets get moving."

-Reving the speeder's throttle up the four troopers zoomed around quickly and punched forward at high speeds heading back to where they had left Vax. Dust kicked up from the speeders giving in some movement from the green vines on the ground. From a far off distance a loud roar errupted into the canyon. The rookie of the team looked back seeing the Reeksa - carnivorous plant - lift up with three heads.-

-The planet roared out as one of its head launched forward; it's jaws opened wide and quickly closed upon more then half of the rookie's body. The rookie let out a muffle yell causing Katar, Leo, and Don to stop their bikes and looked directly behind them.-

"ROOK!"

"There is no time to save him. Lets get moving."

-Another roar moved through the mouths of the creatures as the one that took rookie finished its meal and the remaining two launched forward at the three remaining republic troops. In the nick of time the three reved the throttle and took off with great speeds towards the end of the canyon that lead up to the shuttle to which they landed in. Following slowly behind them were the Reeksa plants snapping and snarling for their fleeing meal. Pulling back each one of them sped up moving up the side of the canyon to the top.-

-The speeders left the ground for a fraction of a second before landing several feet away from the shuttle that they arrived on the planet in. Moving the bikes to the side they came to a stop and looked over to where General Kensho was standing waiting for them.-

[Aeon Kensho™]

(Punching on the throttle I bonce over a hill my lifts keeps my speeder bikes hovering. Sensing a shift in the Force I sense the operative's anxiety, Follow the guidance of the Force I know there is little time. With out having time to grab and cable and to launch it to this imperial shuttle. Watching it lift I I turn right into a rock.)

(Leaning back the rock propels the bike upward in what appears to be insanity to Bruiser. Which stops and pulls out his heavy rifle placing a grapple hook in the barrel. Jumping off my speeder bik hid flight I Force jump onto the shuttle's wing. Slamming down I grab on firmly with my left hand.)

(In a quick twist of the activating orange blade to my lightsaber I slice into the hull of the ship hopefully damaging the engines. After riding in enought shuttle I feel the Force. This was the place to slash. Just then smoke billows out as the shuttle crashes back down to the canyon floor. Sliding across the sand i tumble into a roll Lightsaber still activated. A shot rounds out echoing through the canyon.)

(Swinging in a batting motion I hit the sniper round into the ground. No easy feat. Running for the cover of a rock i sit behind it. Quickly deactivating my saber I place in on the red sand before me. Lifting rocks around me I throw them at the snipers location. Just then I hear Bruiser' heavy gun blast the grapple hook on the rock behind the sniper. This imperial sniper is taken out. A squad of Storm troopers steps out of the compound Vax had just been taken from.)

(Knowing there is no time to waste i call out to the enemy troops.)

"There is no need to die here! Surely you understand. I don't have time for this."

(As i say the words a detonator lands next to me. Jumping in a backward swan jump i extend both arms outward. Reaching I pull my saber up to my hand as I leave the ground. Landing I flip my saber moving in a tight knit defensive grid around myself. Blaster bolt deflected as I move in. Bruiser takes down to one knee firing wildly tearing down Storm troopers with blaster fire.)

(Moving in a fanning motion Bruiser uses his heavy shoulder pads to block a blaster bolt. Very close to one another we push on the Vax hopefully.)

[Zaos Felreave]

[Standing at the lookout tower that strange feeling pulled at me once more, this time much stronger. Something was happening not too far away, energies fluctuating around and near me..the presence..]

"There are others here! Men, stay here, be on the lookout nonetheless, I'll return when I can." [The men nodded and took my spot at the post as I jumped down the side of the tower, my hand sliding across the solid wall of it as I pushed down with the force, slowing the fall slightly, whoever was here was to the north-east of me.]

[Gathering my focus, I let the Force fill me, aiding me, as I broke into a strong sprint, rushing towards the presence, growing ever stronger with each long stride, My thoughts clearing as I tried to reach out]

{"Who's there? Friend or foe? This is Zaos Felreave, Jedi Knight...if you can hear me..let me know."}

My robes fluttering behind me as I continued forward, dust kicked up behind me.

((OOC: Sorry about the wait, I was having some difficulty trying to find a way to make a continuation))
