Force Calling

[Darth Angelus™]

(I sat in my modified Delta-7, I left the Jedi Temple to track down a well known Bounty Hunter, this one specialised in killing Jedi. After a few months of tracking I found him, the poor fool landed on Endor. This will make my job harder, but still in orbit I sensed a presense... I ignored it, the planet was said to have a force aura).

(I broke orbit and headed through the atmosphere, within a few seconds I was flying in clear air. On the moniter the ship's ID signature was on the other side of a jungle. I smiled and landed in a well covered area. When I got touchdown, I turned off all systems and exited from the cockpit. It was quiet, too quiet).

[glow=blue,2,300]"F16? Stay here I'm going after him-"[/glow]

(I was interupted by blaster fire. I quickly dodged the first wave and activated my lightsaber, my green blade hissed out and hummed softly. I quickly turned it off, to think of a plan).

(I took off my robe and crawled over to one of the shooters, I then dragged him down by his legs).

[glow=red,2,300]"Huh? Ugh![/glow]

[glow=blue,2,300]"Ssh, you don't want to die do you?"[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]"I talk to no Jedi!"[/glow]

(The man spat in my face, I wiped it off and broke his neck silently. I made my way to a group, there was about six of them. I lay very still not moving, I was reay to throw myself at one. A trick I picked up on Dxun).

(I threw myself at the group activating my lightsaber, beheadig two with a wide horizontal strike. The group screamed in horror).

[glow=blue,2,300]"Who do you work for!? Why are you here!?"[/glow]

[glow=gray,2,300]"Sith Spit, its the guardian that old man babbled about! We're doomed!"[/glow]

(He ran into the think forest, too easy. A few seconds later they heared a blood curdling scream. I then landed in the middle of the circle,they shot. Using the force I sent out a Forece Repulse, sending the lot into trees killing them).

(One by one I picked them up and threw them in a large ditch. Once I had finished that I pick up my robe and slid it on. I threw my hood over my head sending my face into shadow).

[glow=blue,2,300]"Now about that Bounty Hunter"[/glow]

[Darth Angelus™]

(It had been a full month on Endor, and I trained hard, I pushed myself further and further, until I was sure I had mastered Ataru. I even started to practise Soresu, the Ewoks would gather and watch as I did practise on the wildlife. When I had arrived I aparently helped out the native folk, Ewoks, they were curious at first then they allowed me to stay for a while. I enjoyed their company, they were very funny).

(But I could constantly feel the presense of a darkside user, I needed help. I pulled myself from a group of Ewoks, and stepped onto the balcony).

[glow=blue,2,300]"This is going to be difficult, I will have to make adjustments on the trasmitter on my fighter"[/glow]

(Using the Force I ran past several thugs, they didn't notice me, none did. After a few minutes I stopped at my modified Delta-7).

[glow=blue,2,300]"F16? Can you boost the transmission?"[/glow]

(I got my reply, with lots of beeps).

[glow=blue,2,300]"Hey! Okay, okay, okay. we'll have to try something else. Are there any Jedi ships around here?"[/glow]

(Again another reply, but with less irritated noises).

[glow=blue,2,300]"Good, patch me through"[/glow]

[glow=blue,2,300]"This is Jedi Knight ronok of the Republic is anyone there? I repeat, this is Jedi Knight Ronok. This tranamission is for any Jedi out there. I have found a Sith presense and need assistance, I repeat I nee-"[/glow]

(The transmission cut before I could finish. I covered up the ship, and ran back to the Village, as I arrived I looked back. I felt a cold shiver go up my spine, it wasn't the cold air, it was something else).

[glow=blue,2,300]"I have a bad feeling about this"[/glow]

[Vax Kote™]

-The transmission played through in a holographic form in front Jedi Knight Vax Kote. It seemed a little frantic for Ronok to send such a message. However, the message was cut short. Could it of been interfearence from a nearby nebula or an enemy ship? Possibly.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Prudii can you boost the signal to recieve the rest of that transmission?"[/glow]
-The small astromech droid beaped a number of times before going silent.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"I understand then set coordinates for Endor."[/glow]
-The astromech droid beaped once more. Now with coordinates set the modified jedi starfighter entered off into hyperspace. Luckily, Endor did not seem that far away from Vax's current location. His primary location was to head back to the Jedi Enclave on Dathomir but there had been a change in plans. Now Vax's current route was to Endor.-

---

*An Hour or Two Later*

-The small stars sped by rather slow during the hyperspace travel. During this time Vax meditated. This gave him the chance to allow the force to flow around him and through him. It gave him a sense of calmness. As the ship came out of hyperspace Vax caught two senses. One of which seemed to be a sensation of a jedi while the other seemed to be a darker presence. The sensation was cold.....it had the feeling of death and hatred. How could someone hold such a thing.-

-Taking the controls in his hands the jedi fighter moved down to the planet Endor. It blasted through the atmosphere towards a fairly large open field that would make a perfect spot for landing the fighter.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Engage landing."[/glow]
-The astromech droid beaped again enabling the landing gear of the jedi fighter. Slowly the ship lowered down onto the soft lush green grass of Endor. The engines slowly whinned to a stop with little smoke emergin from the engines. The cock-pit door slid open. Taking the belt off Vax jumped out of the ship. His black jedi robe following him until he landed on the ground. Standing up straight he glanced about the area then turned to the astromech droid while pulling his black jedi hood over his face hidding his appearance.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Stay here until I call you."[/glow]
-Turning toward the lightside presence Vax walked off into the forest.-

[Darth Angelus™]

(A few hours after I got back to the Village, I felt a Lightside presense coming near. It was Vax, I knew that presnse from anywhere. I turned around and saw a fighter go into a clearing, I used the force and blasted my way through the Jungle, running as fast as I can).

(It was a few minutes and I was in front of him. Red tunic, black robe. I nodded and walked to him, I then stopped a few metres from him).

[glow=blue,2,300]"Good to see my message got to a Jedi, and not a Sith. Come we will go to the Ewok Village, and get ready I saw a few thugs and Bouny Hunters in the area"[/glow]

(I turned around flinging my hood over my face hiding my face in complete darkness covering my large scar on my right eye. I continued to walk at a steady pace looking around, marking where snipers are with my mind. I looked back at Vax, though I didn't know him I will have to get along with him. It would be interesting we are both Jedi Guardians, It won't take long to find the Sith, or this Jedi killing Bounty Hunter).

((Just so everyone knows, I'm playing this character at my offering and Ronok's specifications.))

((Picture))

*Konnor paused in his walk. It was just a small hesitation, but noticeable if one was watching. Another Jedi had come to the aid. There were now two Jedi on this forsaken moon...the trap had been intended for one. He knew he could take one, especially if that one was his backstabbing brother. He'd taken out more powerful Jedi than that weakling.

Oh well, one had to be prepared for the unexpected. Ronok had obviously been trained well, he'd had the smarts to send a message to any nearby Jedi. The jamming signal that Konnor had broadcast soon after Ronok had started sending virtually insured that nobody else would be coming to this moon, but apparently there had been one close by. They'd just have to tighten their trap.

Having been trained in the ways of the Force, Darth Massacre knew the weaknesses of the Jedi. Their danger sense, for example, relied on intention, on sensing emotion. Anger, anticipation, all registered on the danger sense. Thus, having the thugs he'd hired place proximity mines all along a certain path and then leave for other positions - namely, herding Ewoks - would prevent the Jedi from sensing the bombs, which certainly wouldn't kill them, but would hopefully injure them. From there, he could separate them and kill them, or to prove his superiority for all time, could take them on at the same time and kill them anyways. Flexibility.

Once the Jedi passed a certain point, the foliage basically prevented alternate paths. Massacre waited until they'd reached that point before engaging the bait...himself and the Ewoks. The ones that had been herded surreptitiously to this point were locked in binders and machines...a flip of a button sent bolts of electricity racing through the equipment. It was enough to cause pain, and random enough to be consistent but not numbing...and the pain outputted in the Force was like a beacon. Add to that the nudges in the Force that were Massacre squeezing the internals of the Ewoks, killing them painfully, and the Jedi were sure to come running. Predictable.

Power ignored was power wasted, so Massacre started feeding off the pain of the Ewoks, using it to fuel his power, to increase his connection to the Dark Side - to the True side - of the Force.*

[Darth Angelus™]

{{Okay here is how the posting goes;
Ronok
Garyn Fett
Vax Kote
Any other way and it gets weird. Have fun guys! And may the Force be with us all}}

(I walked through the dense jungle with Vax, looking back making sure he was behind me. I heard he was a decent fighter. I hope whoever is on this planet, is nice enough to come to an agreement with us).

(It was ten minutes of walking, and I hit a dead end, I sighed, and took out my lightsaber, I slashed at the bush to reveal, a solid piece of Durasteel. It was massive. I cleared my head. We weren't far from the Village. But I couldn't go any further, I reached out with the force sensing for another way around).

(I turned my head to my right looking at some vines, they were planted there. I deactivated my lightsaber. I looked at the top of the Durasteel wall).

[glow=blue,2,300]"That can't be more than twelve metres high. Vax, go right I'll go on top, I can get a better view up there anyway"[/glow]

(I jumped up to the wall, just making it, landing on my knees and hands. I pushed myself up and saw the monstrousity that was caused by my enemy. I saw the Ewoks herded, bombs being layed. Bombs?).

[glow=blue,2,300]"Vax look out! there might be bombs on the ground. Watch your step. I'll go after the Ewoks you take care of the thugs!"[/glow]

(I looked for a window of oppertunity, and I saw it, I force ran, then at the end of the wall I force jumped. I span my hilt in my hand and kicked a thug in the head, breaking his neck, as I was near him).

[glow=blue,2,300]"Lets dance!"[/glow]

(I rolled on the ground toward the men kicking their weapons out of their hands and slicing the men to pieces. I jumped over the last and stabbed his neck, killing him instantly. I saw a security camera, whoever was looking at me, was to be sure that I was looking back at them. I turned away and contiued down the path).

[Garyn Fett™]

((Ronok then me again, eh? Interesting.))

*Sudden squawks came from Konnor's wrist comm. A video feed came along with them...a small hologram showing a Jedi - Ronok, if he was interpreting the grainy picture right - kicking weapons out of the hands of the thugs, killing them, and moving on. There were mines on the ground. Apparently the idiots had continued laying mines even after they'd been told to stop, and had continued laying bombs. They'd also continued herding the Ewoks...help was so hard to hire these days.

But all was not lost. Thinking quickly, Darth Massacre switched the comm from receiving only to broadcasting, sending it on the specific frequency of the thugs.*

New orders. Attack the Jedi...use numbers to your advantage. Anyone who kills a Jedi receives triple his pay.

*It was a simple message, but effective. Those money-starved beasts in visual range of the Jedi immediately opened fire, snipers included, resulting in a mass of blasterfire. Numbers did indeed work to advantages when the odds were thirty to two...but each person was aiming to kill, which somewhat negated the teamwork. Still, it would be slower for the Jedi; and Konnor didn't have to pay the fees to those who died.

Meanwhile, he switched to another frequency, that of a lone Mandalorian he'd hired. More expensive than half the force of thugs combined, but if the rumors were true this guy would be able to injure the Jedi while they were concentrated elsewhere. The order was sent...the Mando was activated.


Deep in the forest, where he'd been for the past few weeks, Tracyn stood and shouldered his rifle. A projectile rifle, not a blaster like those stupid idiots that made up the main workforce had. These couldn't be reflected, just incinerated.

This was a job like any other, just hitting targets from as far away as possible. These targets just moved fast...to him, they weren't even alive. It'd been his job to plug the holes he saw...one of them was the Jedi moving from up high. To that effect, he'd snuck into the preparation site and drilled explosives into the trees of the area, then plugged the holes back up. He had several minutes before he even reached visual range, so there should be very little forewarning of the blasts. The push of two buttons on the detonator in Tracyn's palm both activated the explosives and detonated them, sending shards of wood flying from the trunks. The trees weren't cleanly snapped in half, but they were falling inwards along the path, and the shards would do damage if they hit. It would be interesting to see how well they did.*

[Vax Kote™]

-Jedi Knight Vax Kote remained quiet for the time being. All around the forest itself had shown something about itself. It felt like a sense of calmness but there was something else. They where not bombs but other beings. These beings where not the normal inhabited Ewoks that lived on the planet. More likely they where mercs. Mercs hired to kill and accomplish a task which they where hired for. When Ronok jumped to a high hill top Vax approved nodding and turning away.-

-He remained still; a gentle breeze flowing through his black jedi cloak. The hood still covering partial of his face. The sleeves slidding down past his hands. He took a quick glance around. The sensation of the thugs where all around and then some. There was another person near. He could not point out where he was exactly at but knew that this mercenary was there. Stepping off he remained cautious of his surroundings. The force tugged at him bringing him down a fairly large path. Each step he took seemed more slow then the last one. Only about a quarter of a mile away from where Vax had left he came to a stop.-

-Looking over he saw two trees falling inward toward him; shards of the trunk coming out. With quick thinking Vax; using the lightside of the force as his ally jumped barley missing the shards from the trunk. He jumped high over the falling tree landing on the path with the trees behind him. He turned lifting his two hands up grabbing onto the tree with the force to make sure they would not complete fall and destroy the forested grounds. In slow movements he brought the trees in an up-right position that they where in before detonators went off. Turning back around once more Vax took a quick glance around feeling a strong presence of danger in this area but still could not point out where it was exactly coming from.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"This one must be a more experience hire mercenary to get the job done."[/glow]
-Vax then took off on the same path again, out-stretching his senses to feel where the thugs where. His senses of potiental danger where also high. He had to remain alert and cautious of his surroundings. This was were a jedi's work would come into play.-

[Darth Angelus™]

(A loud explosion sent a nearby tree falling in my direction, ass soon as that happened, a wave of blaster fire came hurtling at me).

(Using the forne with my right hand I brought the tree parallel to the ground, and with my left I used the force to deflect he bolts of energy away form me. As they stopped I threw the tree at them using the force. The large tree smashed through all twenty of them. I dusted my hands off and walked on).

(There was something familiar about this presense).

[glow=blue,2,300]~Flashback~

I stood at the stairs of the temple looking at my brother, a smirk appered on his face.

"I'll see you soon Ronok"

Then he disappeared in thin air

~End of Flashback~[/glow]
(It was an illusion, I swear it was. But he seemed so real, but it couldn't be, he died. But it could only be him, it could only be my brother Konnor).

(I started to run now, the paths came to a meeting point, I turned a saw Vax fighting off some thugs. I picked up four of them using the force and smashed them together, and threw them as high as I could. I leaped at a thug and rammed him up against the wall)

[glow=blue,2,300]"Who do you work for? I am not leaving until you tell me! Who is he?"[/glow]

[glow=gray,2,300]"He is some Sith guy, hey let me go and I'll take you to hi-"[/glow]

[glow=blue,2,300]"No! You tell me who he is, I want a name!"[/glow]

[glow=gray,2,300]"Konnor! The guys name is Konnor, he hired some madalorian to help out but I don't know anything! I swear!"[/glow]

(I let him go and watched him run away, as he went around the corner an explosion went of, he must've stepped on a mine).

[glow=blue,2,300]"Now this is personal, we take Konnor alive, alright Vax? I won't kill my own flesh and blood"[/glow]

[Garyn Fett™]

*Darth Massacre frowned, ceasing the Force Grips he was drawing out. There was no point now...the Jedi were taking their sweet time. Probably trying to coerce one of the thugs to talk...which they would. But they knew only his first name...Konnor. Ronok was an idiot, he wouldn't remember the name...hopefully.

On the off chance that Ronok did remember the name, though, Konnor grabbed his lightsaber in one hand, leaving it off, and began walking down the path towards where he felt the two Jedi were. He started to encounter mines - he was able to sense their lifelessness through the Force - and simply ripped them out of the ground, carrying them before him as he headed towards the Jedi. The more mines he encountered, the more mines floated before him.

Meanwhile, deeper in the forest, Tracyn finished climbing a tree. Finally secured in his vantage point nearly fifty meters away from the targets, he sighted in on them. As he did, he focused on nothing but his breathing, not allowing any hint of anticipation or malice to creep into this thoughts. A second later, two shots rang out. There was no muzzle flash, but the silencer for the rifle had been broken in the climb. Two projectiles headed for the Jedi: one per Jedi, aimed at a random femur. Supremely damaging if they hit. If they didn't, the surprise was gone and Tracyn would have to find a new tactic.*

[Vax Kote™]

-Vax stepped over to Ronok; he could feel the sense of not killing family. It was strong within him but Vax could also feel the anger and hatret within him. This was one thing that was not the jedi way. It only seemed like what Anakin ahd gone through with Padme.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Remember Ronok you are now a jedi knight in the order. Don't allow your anger to get the best of you. You must perform your job as a jedi and that is keeping the peace. The only thing there is left is to bring him in.[/glow]
-Turning slightly he felt the presence of a hunter near. Taking a side step away the bullet landed at the ground. Vax looked up as to where the bullet had came from but then heard one more. Turning to Ronok, using the force as his ally he attempted to push his jedi brother away from the bullet to save him. Glancing over he looked at the tree sensing a hunters presence.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"We have a hunter in our midst Ronok. You go after your brother and I'll take care of this hunter."[/glow]

[Darth Angelus™]

[glow=blue,2,300]"You're right, I shouldn't let my anger get the best of me. it's good to know I have you watching my back"[/glow]

I smiled at him, though my hood remained on my head. And my face still covered. He stepped aside to dodge the single shot that would've made a bad injury to his thigh).

(Vax's hand rised and I was pushed away from the incoming bullet, as I was in the air I flipped, landing in a crouched position. I watched as Vax studied the trees. I looked too).

(Without looking at me he spoke. And without looking back I answered).

[glow=blue,2,300]"With pleasure. May the Force be with you fellow Jedi brother"[/glow]

(I ran down the path not looking back. looking in gaps. I stopped. My teeth gritted as I saw my brother before me).

[glow=blue,2,300]"Konnor"...[/glow]

(I gripped my hilt. During my time on Endor I practised the art of Soresu, the defensive form. I had even upgraded my lightsaber. I now use a double-bladed green lightsaber. I tightened my grip ready for his move. My blades shot out of my hilt, the entire room iluminated with my green blades).

[Garyn Fett™]

{{Konnor/Massacre}}

*There was a sudden 'blur' of motion on Konnor's senses as one of the Jedi started running towards him. As usual with someone running in a dense forest, the Jedi was heard before he was seen...leaves crunching, branches snapping. Then he was there...the Jedi was Ronok. Finally, the time Konnor had been waiting for...a sick grin crossed his face. Ronok activated his lightsaber - apparently he'd built a new one, a staff now.*

Ronok...about time you came back. You missed the fires back on Korriban when you left...I've brought some for you.

*Konnor let his grin be swept aside as the Dark Side surged through him, as he released his control and let himself be controlled. It had been said - rumors, never proven - that such a sudden burst of darkness disoriented Jedi. It was worth a shot, especially since it would be needed: the mines that were now flying at Ronok were otherwise easily deflected. The design of the mines was simple...touch something and blow up. Be cut, blow up. If Ronok attempted to cut through them, he'd be blown to smithereens; his only recourse was to dodge or to send them flying away.*

{{Tracyn Ordo}}

*One Jedi, the one with glimpses of red under his cloak, dodged the first shot. It had missed by three centimeters or so...not wholly precise but precise enough. Then he'd pushed out his hand as if to push the other Jedi out of the way...but had never touched him. Regardless, the other Jedi had been thrown back a meter or so. Shabla Force powers...

Now that one Jedi was facing Tracyn's general direction completely. This was no longer just a mission of wounding...this was probably kill or be killed. He had no compunction now to hold himself back...he just had impeccable tactics.

With his armor the color scheme it was, Tracyn blended in with the forest perfectly, especially at this level. If he took off - still an option, his jetpack was functioning perfectly - he'd be seen, but every shot he took with his damaged rifle increased the fix the enemy had on him. Wait...those tactics were for normal enemies. Jedi could know where someone is even without seeing them; that was a pain in the shebs.

The case was grim. Tracyn flicked his thumb once, switching the rifle from single-shot to burst, then launched a grenade. The shoop was far quieter than even the wildlife, it'd be inaudible at the distance the Jedi stood. It was an area of effect weapon...even if the Jedi moved, he'd probably get hit, if only by the shockwave. To cover the grenade, Tracyn fired the rifle itself a second and a half after the grenade was launched - halfway through its flight time. Two bursts of three shots, that should be enough to distract the Jedi.

Burst shots were inaccurate to a point: not as bad as full auto, but worse than single-shot. The first shots were aimed at the center of the torso, the others just went where they did. Coincidentally, the second shot headed towards the Jedi's ankle, the third towards his opposite shoulder, the fifth towards his head, and the sixth towards his stomach. Then the grenade - detonation on contact with anything solid - would hopefully hit...*

[Vax Kote™]

-The disruption of two shots each with trhee lasers came forth or at least that was what Vax thouht. Then came a grenade soon before the shots where even fired at him. Vax knew that he would not be able to block the shots and keep the grenade from hitting the ground. The only thought that came to mind was that of survival and that was from being shot. Turning on his right heal in the oppostie direction from which the grenade and the shots where fired Vax ran forward. Using the force to his advantage his speed quickened. Each shot fired hit the ground an inch or two behind Vax's own steps.-

-He was lucky enough to dodge these attacks that where only inches away. But what of the grenade that was launched? No doubt that it would hit something solid and explode sending a blast out that destroyed everything around it and withint its own blast radius. Turning to his side Vax seen the grenade strike the forest floor of the jungle. A large and loud explosion emitted through the forested jungle destroying everything in sight. Turning in the opposite direction Vax took off hopping to escape the blast of the grenade.-

-Only centimeters behind him the blast followed. Arching his knees whil he was running he used the force jumping high into a tree just in time to evade the explosion. Vax turned seeing the destruction the grenade left behind. He calmed himself allowing the force to flow through him; it kept him calm....he was indeed lucky to not be caught by any of these attacks by the hunter. Apparently, he was willing to get the job done. Vax only thought he was a mandalorian but was not entirly sure. Standing up on the branch he glanced around. Though he could not physically see the hunter he felt his presence near. He could hear his heart beat and his breathing. He was close but just how close he was? Vax had to find out where he was.-

-Jumping from the tree he landed on the forested floor; or at lease what was left of the floor. Stepping forward he closed his eyes allowing the force to guide his movements. Calming his breath he focused on the breathing and heart beat of the hunter.-

You can't hide from me....bounty hunter.

-Bringing his hand up he out-stretched to a tree in the hunters direction. Slowly he closed his hand on one of the trees. It began to rock and shake about until it was pulled from its roots. Vax opened his hand up once more allowing the tree to slam to the ground with a loud crash followed by some rumbling sounds. Vax opened his eyes; reaching down he grasped onto his gold and black lightsaber. He un-clipped it from his belt but did not activate it. He mearly waited for the hunters next move. His own breathing was calm and illussive. The lightside of the force followed around him and through him....it kept him centered and focused on the task at hand.-

[Darth Angelus™]

(Konnor unleashed a sudden burst of darkness attempting to disorient me, it didn't work yes I stumbled but that was it. As the mines flew at me I simply raised my hand and stopped them in their tracks. I then clecnched my hand into a tight fist and they exploded, I unclenched my fist and put it back at my side).

[glow=blue,2,300]"Why Konnor? Why? How could you betray our family like that? How could you betray me?"[/glow]

(I went into a neutral stance ready to attack. If Konnor will not see reason then I will fight him one last time. Though I did not want to fight my own brother, he had joined the Sith. He was the enemy).
