The shuttle after an hour after leaving hyperspace was at last about to touch down on the planets' surface. Not wanting to have troopers slowling me down I figured that a fast moving trooper would do fine. Looking around at the soldiers my gaze fell upon a trooper wearing ARF armour with blue markings.
[glow=green,2,300]"Trooper, you will come with me. We have landed close to our destination, and I have a wrist bracer that allows my FC-20 to come to my location for transport. But for now we shall walk, the rest of you create a nice secure perimeter. Hopefully we will be back in a couple of days"[/glow] Noding slightly at the soldier I walked out of the lowered ramp as soldiers ran either side of me down creating a perimeter around Daemon. Daemon was my favorite shuttle, I had modified it myself, as well as had many new weapons installed and had the navigation computer modified for tracking beacons.
Taking a look around me I soon saw a large structure in the distance that looked like The Great Library that I researched while in hyperspace. I whistled sharply so the soldier would hear me, then looking back at him and pointed at the building.
[glow=green,2,300]"That is our destination, I say we could get there in two days. We should leave ASAP, ready?"[/glow] Steping forward I began to walking towards the Library, the soldier looked different to the other ARF troopers I had, but I wouldn't complain, ARF troopers are handy to have around, in fact I took only ARF troopers for this mission. This one had his blue markings and if I were to guess his rank would be sergeant. Removing this form my mind and keeping it on the mission at hand I remain focused on my goal.
It had been hours since we left Daemon, and night had fallen. breaking some wood off trees with my lightsaber I was able to make a fire with a couple off stones, this trick I learnt while on Dxun, in the cave.
[glow=green,2,300]"So trooper, why don't you tell me about yourself? I would like to know who has my back a bit more. After that you can ask about me. That is if the other soldiers haven't told you all about me yet"[/glow] Chuckling slightly, I sighed, and watched the trooper, my scar the obvious part on my face while the fire burned, my eyes then fell upon the flames watching the fire. A smile appears on my face just as quickly as it disappears, not lasting even a second. I look back up at the ARF trooper opposite me waiting for his response.

((Torque- Cyan ARF Captain- Magenta))
-In all honesty Torque was not expecting a smooth ride to Ossus. Truth be told it seemed that it would of been better traveling to Ossus by using a republic destroyer instead of going about the usage of an Nu-class Attack Shuttle full of ARF troopers. Just as the shuttle set down Torque un-strapped himself from the seat and rose to his feet stretching his limbs from a long ride. After popping a few bones he walked down the ramp following the ARF troopers and General Vang. His dark visor caught many sights of the landscape around them including trees, mountains, and small bushes.-
-His attention was soon diverted when General Vang directed a conversation over to him. His head turned quickly to the general and nodded in approval to follow him to the Great Jedi Library. No words escaped his mouth while more orders were issued to the remaining ARF troopers to secure the sight around the attack shuttle while he and General Vang went on their journey to the Great Jedi Library. Before leaving Torque checked over his weapons and supplies only to ensure he had enough for a two day trip. Ths included: ammo clips, bacta, detonators, a small knuckle plate vibro-blade.-
[glow=magenta,4,000]"Be careful around General Vang, rookie he can get a little carried away with that lightsaber of his while on missions."[/glow] -Torque looked over at the ARF captain who was already five steps away from him after speaking. Ignoring what the captain had said Torque turned and followed General Vang into the thick brush of the forest. The travel to their destination would be a long treck but one of many things that Torque learned about the jedi was their ability of being patient and taking their time to get to places. General Kensho told Torque that he was to keep an eye on Ronok while at the same time following his orders whenever needed. It seemed the matter of further gaining the general's trust on this mission.-
-However, as they walked for what seemed to turn into thirty minutes both Torque and Ronok came to a small circular opening. It was nothing to harsh to actually worry. Through studies Torque had learned of the inhabitants of Ossus and how they had a sensitivity tied to the force and could prove to be dangerous beings if they ever came across one or a group acting together.-
[glow=green,4,000]"That is our destination, I say we could get there in two days. We should leave ASAP, ready?"[/glow] -Gripping his DC-15S blaster tightly, he nodded to Ronok and they entered into the forest yet again. In mere hours since arriving on Ossus and leaving the saftey of Daemon night quickly fell onto the planet. Darkness crept over the area giving Torque a disturbing sense that pratically anything could jump out an attack them at any given moment.-
-Lifting his left hand from the blaster he activated his helmet head light giving them some more visibility to find a place to stop and rest for the night. Torque followed General Vang over to a small opening in the trees and activated his lightsaber carving out some bark and tree limbs to make a fire. He looked around the initial area keeping watch as Ronok set the fire up with a couple of stones.-
-Turning Torque holstered his weapon noticing a couple of boulders that could be used as seats. Walking over he kneeled down picking one up onto his right shoulder and walked over to the now light fire and set it next to Ronok allowing him a place to sit and relax while Torque remained standing with his helmet on and his blaster holstered. His gaze down at the fire looking at the display of sparks that came over the top.-
-After five minutes of silence it was soon broken through Ronok directing another conversation over to Torque who stood quietly with his arms crossd and his gaze down at the burning fire. He soon looked up and then gazed over to General Vang.-
[glow=cyan,4,000]"Well, general, I really don't like talking about my past as it's very painful to me. However, I can share it to you. My birth planet actually lies on Tatooine where I was born into slavery under a rodian slaver that stole and sold different modeled droids. I really wanted to leave Mos Eisley and join the front line forces of the Republic's Army that I heard so much about from the holo-news. It inspired me seeing all the troopers fighting next to the jedi order to instill peace through the galaxy."[/glow] [glow=cyan,4,000]"But I never really saw myself leaving Tatooine because I was a slave to this rodian and I knew he would not free me. It actually took me a wile to muster the strength to sneak on board a republic transport without the slaver knowing about it during a deal with a hutt. That ship brought me to Coruscant where I followed actions to the jedi temple and requested to go through basic training to become a republic soldier."[/glow] -He allowed the information to sink in. The only thing he had not explained was being asked by General Kensho to keep watch over Ronok. That was the only thing he left out. Keeping that very thought in the back of his mind he continued on speaking out with the helmet still on his head and a static microphone sound with each word said.-
[glow=cyan,4,000]"The others really have not said anything about you to me, general. Although, I personally thought that jedi did not share the secrets of their past. But I see jedi as equal beings in the galaxy. So if you would like to speak about yourself...."[/glow]

This trooper indeed had quite a past, even if he left out pieces I could tell he didn't lie, I lowered my hood, my face in full view. Taking a long deep breathe I breathed out and sighed again.
My head tilts down, my eyes focused on the fire still, not looking up. Not wanting to offend the ARF trooper, I look up at him smiling.
[glow=green,2,300]"I too have the shady past, not one I like remembering if you know what I mean. Lets just say that I have had many run ins with Sith, Drexl, Mandalorians, and who knows what else. Even loss has left its scars, scars that will be with me forever. Like this little beauty on my face. Souvenir from a Sith Lord, can you believe I didn't get a tip too? Ha!"[/glow] As I finished a small tear slid down my face, the memory of my little sister coughing and barely breathing, life leaving her left its mark on my life permanently. I let the tear fall down off my chin, and onto my tunic where the fabric soaked up the tear.
Looking back at the soldier and smiled, it was late and we needed our sleep. Sliding off the boulder the soldier was good enough to get us, letting myself rest on the ground and put my hands behind my head looking up at the stars.
[glow=green,2,300]"By the way I hate formalities. So you can call me Ronok, like every other soldier. So whats your name? Or do I have to come up with one?"[/glow] Laughing, my chest rises and falls quickly. Crossing my arms, my chin touches my chest. My eyes close, and sleep finally consumes me. Small fragments of memories flood my sleep, but my Jedi training slips in, Aeons voice is heard and his great words of wisdom fills my head.
Morning will come, and perhaps we will have no trouble in getting the the Library, but if trouble comes I'll be ready for it, aggressive or otherwise...

-Torque's gaze remained on the sparkling flames of the fire while it lifted into the darkened night sky. He watched a few go up before turning to Ronok listening through what he was saying. Only by the sound of his voice he seemed like any other jedi: Aeon, Vax, or Jadoch. However, his missions required more then just simply finding a holocron. It looked more like a focus towards finding the strong peace that was meant to stay. Torque remembered was General Vax told of how he had turned to the darkside from the very sith that Ronok did not like, Visciouz.-
-Vax had a small taste of what the Darkside of the Force could do on an individual and he certainly did not want to see it happen to his fellow brother Ronok. Vax had to go through much training to be at peace with himself. That ranking of master was not given to him on accident, he earned it. Just like Torque had gained the rank of sergeant in the Army of the Republic.-
-Watching Ronok further Torque noticed a small tear drip down the side of his face and land on the attire he was wearing. Was it through loss of a family member? or was it some kind of terrible memory? He did not want to ask because re-calling memories can be hurtful, even for a jedi. So instead he remained quiet watching Ronok lay down. It seemed calling Ronok by the name 'General' was actually getting to him. Torque - through basic training - was taught to address all jedi masters as General. This proved that he was not like any other jedi he had gotten to know.-
[glow=cyan,4,000]"I don't like discussing my real name, sir as it does hold some pain towards my past. Many of my friends in basic training gave me the nickname of Torque because of my ability with heavy style weapons and assortment of detonators. That is what I prefer to be called by unless you want to call me something different that is fine."[/glow] -The fire continues to glisten in the night life with Torque still up. He pulls out his DC-15S blaster rifle and checks it over then looks back at Ronok to see if he is sleeping. Placin the blaster on the ground he turns and walks away from the fire; he quickly disappears behind a tree heading away from the area so he could make contact with General Kensho on Coruscant. Only to ensure that no one heard him he walks a quarter of a mile away from the site stopping at a fairly large tree.-
-Torque takes a quick glance around the initial area before reaching into his nap sack and pulls out a holo-communicator that he was to use to get in touch with either General Kensho or General Kote. Pressing down on the button he sends a small transmission to the jedi temple and awaits an answer.-
---
Coruscant- Jedi Temple
-Coruscant was busy as it has always been. The traffic full of speeders, fighters, frigates, and shuttles. People walk around visiting different shops or trying to find something to eat. The sun was nearing it's ending point of setting leaving off a beautiful orange and purple sky over the large city-planet.-
-At the Jedi Temple; Vax sat on a small seat with his legs crossed and his arms on his knees. His black jedi robe hung loosely on his back to the ground with the hood not far from his head to be pulled over. Both gold and black and red and silver lightsabers hung calmly and quietly on his black jedi belt with his prostetic right hand remainig perfectly still. Vax sat next to Master Aeon in a calm meditative tone. The force flowing through him and around him keeping him at peace and calm.-
-There was still worry for Ronok of if at all possible the anger that dwelled inside of his friend would be released. It was a good idea for Ronok to leave Coruscant on a mission to find himself. Vax went through the same process of studying hard and going through several meditations to keep the anger out of him and have peace replace it. Even now, the purple and orange setting sky gave peace to Vax as they both sat in a dark poorly light room.-
-His eyes soon opened upon hearing a beaping sound coming from the holo-communicator in the center of the room. Through sensation Vax could tell that it was Torque reporting in from Ossus.-
[glow=purple,4,000]"A transmission from Ossus, master. It must be Torque."[/glow]

(The stillness and silence of the Jedi temple's meditation chambers are broken by a beeping hail. Coming out of deep meditation my mind reconnects to present. Centering myself as I regain my composure utilizing the Force to help ground myself. Hearing Vax's words, We watch the Hologram spark to life before us.)
(Without any movement the button on the holo projector lights up. My eyes open in unison with the hologram opening. Indeed it was Torque, Making is report as ordered. The blue hologram lights up the dark room. Purple and orange slivers of light slip through the shades onto the floor. A magnificent sunset, Something many take for granted.)
[glow=orange,2,300]"What do you have to report Torque?"[/glow]
(So much was going on in the Galaxy with the reemergence of the Sith. Now it seems the revived Sith order has taken control of the Empire. The Galaxy seemed to be getting more dangerous with each passing moon. Ronok was very capable and his training on discipline and control. The silhouette of Torque in his blue marked armor lights up my face as I look to the hologram. Sitting still my hands still placed on my crossed legs.)

Yellow- Konnor Red- Visciouz Purple- Zaken
My eyes closed I was unaware Torque had left camp to contact Aeon and Vax on Coruscant to inform them on our progress. But my mind was conflicting as it did everyother night, with horrific nightmares, enough to put chills up my spine if I were awake.
[glow=red,2,300]Nightmare[/glow]
I ley face down on the ground, my head ringing, with no idea where I am. But its dark, very dark...
[glow=yellow,2,300]"Ronok? Is that you brother?"[/glow] The voice of Konnor startles me, but that was nothing, he walks out of the darkness and a red blade escapes a lightsaber hilt, I am but a boy looking at my brother eyes filled with hatred. Blazing orange with a red rim, his blade in front of his face. A evil cackle comes form behind me, I turn to see Visciouz standing there with Zaken too, lightsabers activated...
[glow=red,2,300]"Your destiny is the path of evil Vang! Join us!"[/glow] Standing up I rwach their height! I look down to see myself as I am now with lightsaber hilt in hand. Activating it a green blade shoots out. Thrusting the blade forward I stab Visciouz in the gut. She falls downd dead, but something more horrible happens, she begins to ripple and she splits in two! Now two Viscioua stand before me. The surrounding Sith cackle loudly as I step back.
[glow=red,2,300]"This is your nightmare, we control it! You must give in to defeat us you pathetic fool!"[/glow] [glow=purple,2,300]"Vax still remains dead, Zaken will always be there haunting him, Vax is no more, he is just a shell for my power"[/glow] [glow=yellow,2,300]"You let our family die by leaving us! You will always carry that on your shoulders no matter where you go!"[/glow] Then at once the swarmed on me, and I hacked and hacked at then until there were hundreds of each one. I felt sick in my stomach, then a sharp pain went through me, looking down a red blade emerged from my gut, Zaken had done it, yet I wasn't dead, screaming at the top of my lungs as the pain went through my entire body.
I slashed wildly at whoever was close, then the sith disappeared and my little sister walked in but I couldn't stop, nor did I see her, my green blade went thgough her chest, again I scream, but at what I had done...
[glow=yellow,2,300]"You may have done it yourself Vang. You are no brother of mine, you killed her!"[/glow]
[glow=red,2,300]End of Nightmare[/glow]
Waking up form my dream yelling sweat ran down my face, Torque sitting in front of me watching me like a Kath Hound guarding its food. How long had he been there, I wiped the sweat from my face and sat up.
[glow=green,2,300]"Torque, get some sleep, I'll take watch, I know what comes out of this place at night. I am sorry if I disturbed you, It was not ym intention of doing so"[/glow] Crossing my legs I bask in the lightside energy coming from this planet and let it fill me whole, letting it flow through my entire body. Rewlaxing my muscles from my head to my toes, I make my breathes longer and deeper. My heart rate drops considerably, my eyes finally close as I begin to meditate deeply.

Ossus
-There would be those times where Torque would understand what a jedi meant when speaking of the lightside of the force and how the lightside would guide them through certain elements that kept them alive for so many years. However, there was those jedi who went in so deap of the force that Torque would not understand it at all. It seemed a little out of the ordinary to put focus on something like this. Even General Vax had told him that he was in the same situation during the Clone Wars and lost as to what the jedi were talking about.-
-However, that was then when General Kote was a clonetrooper apart of the army of the republic and this is now where he was not seen as a cone but rather a jedi master within the jedi order. Though his past still remained a mystery it has been shown that he has been a huge asset for the jedi order now.-
-As the blue holographic image of both General Kote and General Kensho gave a small amount of light to the surrounding area Torque cleared his throat upon seeing the two Jedi Master's. There was no difference between the two where General Kensho's skin was a blue color and General Kote's was much lighter of a standard human. The only voice that came from the holo-communicator was that of General Kensho's. It looked as though as General Kote was off in his own thoughts.-
[glow=orange,4,000]"What do you have to report Torque?"[/glow] -His gaze remained on General Kote for the moment though it could not be seen through the black tinted visor of his ARF trooper helmet. Like many of the troopers that were apart of General Kote's team each one held a concern for their commanding officer; if that is, he was off in some trans or in deap thought. Kote's eyes remained on Torque but seeing him not saying anything seemed to put Torque on the worried side.-
-It was only at General Kensho's last words of '....report Torque?' that snapped him back to what his focus was on: giving a report about General Vang or what he wanted to be called Ronok as he hated the formalities that troopers called him. Torque kept his focus the same as he cleared his throat and began to speak through his report.-
[glow=cyan,4,000]"Well Generals, we made it to the world of Ossus without any trouble. General Vang is performing well having the bulk of the troops to stay behin and set up a small base area around the fighter. I joined him to the Great Jedi Library and all goes well for now. He seems to show no anger towards certain things and spoke of his past toward me."[/glow] -There was not much to report on Ronok's behavior. He seemed to be performing well but this was onlythe begining for a mission such as this. Ronok had the task of finding a holocron from the library just as Vax had found the holocron containing information on Form 7. Ronok's behavior was as the same as far as he could tell but only time would tell on the matter. Like Vax, he too, was a Jedi Guardian within the order.-
----After Aeon finishes speaking to Torque----
-Torque listened in carefully to what Aeon had to say. He soaked in every word that way he could watch for the stuff that they requested come from Ronok. After General Kensho finished Torque awaited for General Kote to add something in. However, he didn't. For what seemed to an endless amount of dead silence Torque spoke up through the helmet he kept on through most of the report.-
[glow=cyan,4,000]"That's all I have to report for now Generals. I will remain in touch and report of any sudden changes for General Vang. Torque out."[/glow] -The blue holographic image flickered off bringing darkness to the surrounding space that Torque stood in. He lowered the holocron down and took a quick glance around the surrounding area before placing the holocron back into his nap sack and made his way back to camp.-
-Upon arrival Torque pushed up a fairly large tree limb for him to sit or lean up against. Grabbing a hold of some more wood he tossed it onto the fire and sat down looking into the night sky filled with clouds, a few stars, and the planet's moon. His attention soon became dividied when Ronok awoke yelling aloud sending an echoing sound through the heavily forested area. Hopefully, none of the inhabitants heard him or there would be trouble. Torque's gaze remained on Ronok several seconds that turned into minutes until Ronok spoke up.-
[glow=green,4,000]"Torque, get some sleep, I'll take watch, I know what comes out of this place at night. I am sorry if I disturbed you, It was not ym intention of doing so"[/glow] -Was it a nightmare? a horrible image of is past? or was he catching a glimpse of the future? It could be many of those things; something that Torque wanted to ask but instead remained silent until Ronok finished. Taking a deap breath he smiled beneath his helmet pushing off of the tree limb onto the ground until the small of his back was on the grassy ground.-
[glow=cyan,4,000]"It's fine.....Ronok. Thank you."[/glow] -Torque brought his arms up and interlocked his hands and fingers behind his head. He closed his eyes drifting off to a confortable sleep still holding some worry for what happened to make Ronok awaken in a yelling state. The only matter stood was getting rest for the travel to the library in the morning.-
Coruscant- Jedi Temple
-Through the whole report that Torque had given Vax said not a word. His eyes remained focused on the blue armored ARF trooper but a worried feeling for Ronok pushed into his mind. Even though Ronok was on Ossus, Vax still held a feeling that his friend would need much help to push away that tempting feeling of the darkside of the force. Many saw as luck that Vax was able to push that urge away when he did turn to the darkside of the force on Korriban.-
-Even he knew that Zaken was still burried somewhere deap within him waiting for that very moment to push out and take control using the darkside of the force to hurt those that he really cares about. Even Vax had terrible nightmares where he faced off against his darker self. The dreams themselves held a meaning that Vax was aiming to solve. One thing was for sue; Zaken would return for that lust of the darkside and Vax would have to use what he had learned to combat against his darker self.-
-Even after the holocron flickered off putting the room back into darkness silence still remained after Aeon finished speaking. His eyes moved past to where the the blue holographic image was. His mind in constant thought with the lightside of the force still revolving around him....wondering if Zaken would return and if Ronok could resist that temptation of the darkside of the force that many sith were forcing upon him. It only took a matter of time to realize this....-

"Very good Torque. remain vigilant and remain cautious. May the Force be with you both."
(Watching the ARF trooper nick named Torque make his report it seemed all was well. My experience has taught me to remain vigilant and cautious at all times. a Jedi never had the luxury of assuming all was well. There is always a calm before a storm. Sensing a distance in the Force I close my eyes upon the end of the transmission. Slipping back into meditation I bask in the serenity of the Lightside of the Force.)

Torque had gone to sleep, and the Jungle had come to life. Croaks,and little squeals filled the sky, and my ears. It was peaceful, I felt at peace, did I really want to leave this place? Looking arounf small furry creatures came in close to get warm, sitting close to the fire I put my palms close to the flames to warm them.
[glow=green,2,300]"You have come for the warmth too huh?"[/glow] Looking down at the small creature as I spoke it seemed to understand and come closer to me, moving away slightly, and quickly cautious of me. But when it felt I was not going to harm it, it came right next to me and sat down. Putting my hand in one of my pouches I brought out some food and put it next to me so the animal would eat it.
[glow=green,2,300]"You need it more than I do my friend"[/glow] Before I could finish my sentence the animal was eating its way through the small amount of food i gave it, and finished it in no time, it mush have been hungry, I patted its head softly, then it ran off back into the Jungle.
Looking back at Torque, he seemed quite peaceful there sleeping, I couldn't remember the last time I slept peacefully. Quickly shaking the thought form my head, I began to plan a way up the mountain without much trouble, wouldv'e been easier if the shuttle landed infront of the Library, but iff attack comes its a sitting duck.
[glow=green,2,300]"This makes things difficult"[/glow] Morning came, my senses tuned, plan set, drawn in the dirt waiting for Torque to wake up. At around 0800 I heard some stirring, and rustling in the Jungle, my lightsaber came two life as two brilliant green blades emerged from my hilt. But it was nothing just Torque getting up. Deactivating my hilt, I let the blades creep back into the hilt. Upon complete deactivation I cip it to my belt.
[glow=green,2,300]"Good to see you awake. Perhaps you can put some input in our next adventure?"[/glow] waiting for torque to come over I crouch down infront of the drawn picture. When Torque finally joined me I cleared my throat and broke a stick to use as a pointer.
[glow=green,2,300]"Now we are here in this valley, we can head North, this will allow us to take an easy journey to the Great Library, and the holocron. Of course Aeon, or Vax informed you of the mission? I reconise the markings from Vax's ARF troopers. Either way I'm happy to have you here. I doubt my soldiers would take me seriously"[/glow] I looked around after hearing a certain sound that I didn't hear before, sounded somewhat like a recorder...But that didn't matter, rising to my feet I headed down the slop of the valley and headed North toward the mountains. Looking back at Torque I slowed down to his pace.
[glow=green,2,300]"Keep your gun up. We are being followed"[/glow]

-Before falling into a deap sleep; Torque took notice of Ronok's kindness to creatures. For what a sith would considered a creature that did not deserve to breath, Ronok saw otherwise allowing the small animal to come and sit next to him. Torque sat still watching with a careful eye as Ronok lowered some food down to the creature and allow it to eat it's fill and allowing Ronok to pet it on it's head before it ran off into the forested area once more.-
He sure is a jedi. -Torque thought to himself with a small smile emerging to his face which was hidden by the ARF trooper helmet. He saw no reason into removing the helmet. The sound of croaks, squeals, a cool breeze, and the cackling sound of fire made it seem like a normal camping trip. These sounds even put Torque at ease as he slowly drifted in to a deap sleep.-
Morning- 0800
-Torque held a good sleep, a small dream of when he went through ARF trooper basic training. But as the sun pierced through the trees within the valley that he and Ronok where in and struck the blue marked armor that Torque was wearing told him it was time to wake up and move on. His eyes opened up as he sat on his butt and stretched his arms out. The snap hiss of Ronok's lightsaber shot through the troopers ears giving him the quick reaction to grab a hold of his DC-15S blaster rifle.-
-Instead of an attack by an opposing force the lightsaber retracted back into Ronok's silvery lightsaber hilt. Torque directed his attention over to the jedi master. Pushing up with his black gloved hands Torque stood up stretching his back; sending a series of pops and snaps through his bones. His muscles retracted giving him the very calm feeling he wanted. Twisting his neck side-to-side giving more pops and cracks off Torque took in Ronok's words and smiled facing toward him and slowly approached.-
[glow=cyan,4,000]"I don't like sleeping in, sir. This is the first time I've actually gotten a good nights rest since being deployed with the ARF troopers. But lets see what we got?"[/glow] -Upon approaching he kneeled down just in front of Ronok's drawn picture just across from the general. The dark tinted visor gazing down upon the picture displayed while Ronok explained the current plan of action. However, when General Vax and General Aeon's names came into play along with Ronok recognizing the blue marked armor that belonged to Vax's Wolf Fighter troops caught Torque by suprise. His gaze shot up looking directly at Ronok with a wondering thoug of how he figured this out? and why didn't see through and tell him?-
-It was true that Torque was one of the most trusted ARF troopers apart of Vax's team and that earned him the respect of many of the Wolf Fighters that followed under the lead of Captain Skar and General Kote. However, it seemed that Ronok was more relieved that one of Vax's men came on this mission with him rather then one of his own ARF troopers. The tension that gathered in Torque's muscles soon calmed down when Ronok said that he was actually happy that he (Torque) was here. Most of Vax's men where more of the kind of troopers who took things seriously rather then what Ronok's men would go through.-
[glow=cyan,4,000]"Of course, Ronok-"[/glow] -Before he could get another word out Ronok stood up and moved quickly past him heading north just as planned. Hearing the un-usual sound just as Ronok did Torque stood up grabbing a hold of his DC-15S blaster rifle. Could it be the inhabitants of the planet, battle droids, or some kind of bounty hunter or assassin. No matter what the case they had to get moving so they would not be sitting targets.-
[glow=cyan,4,000]"The sooner we get moving sir the better we have. Just sitting around here is asking for a blaster bullet through the head."[/glow] -Torque kept a firm grip onto his DC-15S blaster rifle. Not pulling the trigger once, using a single clip of ammo that he brought along would be best. Only if they got into trouble would be the perfect time. Whoever was following them could be for an opposing side such as the sith. Taking the nervous feeling from his gut Torque continued along at Ronok's side remaining north to get to the library that was their destination.-

[glow=green,2,300]"Agreed. Change of plan. We will head directly to the Library, this way has lots of cover, and we can see where the Library is too"[/glow] Securing my backpack, I walk on signaling Torque to follow me on our new journey. After a few hours I stopped at a vertical drop. Smiling I look back to Torque. Only a small smirk, hope Vax didn't tell him I'm reckless...
[glow=green,2,300]"See you at the bottom Torque. Do try to keep up"[/glow] Putting a foot out I drop down toward the wall. Activating my lightsabers I split the hilt and smash them into the cliff face as I slowly slid down. Once reaching the bottom I deactivate the lightsabers, watching them slide into their hilts with a hiss. As torque hit the bottom I felt like cracking a joke, but i held it in, saving it for the one who dare follow us.
[glow=green,2,300]"This will throw our follower off our trail for some time, unless it is one of those persisting predators I have heard of at Coruscant from Outer Rim Veterans, creatures able to rip bodies into shreds in seconds"[/glow] Looking around making sure we are not being followed I press on heading the way we need to go, it will had a couple more hours onto the tripp but for the safety of Torque I will add a week on the journey if I had to. Torque has been great company, I would be more than honoured to fight along side him again.
Finally, we had emerged into the place I need to be. Lots of cover, we will move in a single movment. I will go first then Torque will go.
[glow=green,2,300]"I'll lead you follow. Watch my back, and I'll watch yours"[/glow] Letting the force to boost my movements I blasted to the nearest rock within a second. Stretching out, and trusting my feelings, and my gut, no one was near. I signaled for Torque to move up. We will keep this up until we reach the Mountain base, memories of fighting Scorn came into my mind, shaking them off I continue to remain focused on the mission at hand.

((Sniper Droid Commando- Maroon Captain Droid Commando- Navy))
{BX Droid Commando}
-Since the republic left Ossus last time, there was a funny feeling that they would return once more seeking out some kind of information from the Great Library. Visciouz had sent down a group of BX Droid Commandos to gather any intel of Republic troops or any of the jedi that had been listed as a threat: Vax, Aeon, and Ronok. There had been a few republic troops on the list but they where not as important as the Jedi Masters that Visciouz explained to the droid commandos.-
-Assigned on Ossus was about a good sum of battle droids. Each consisting of the standard B1 Battle Droids, the B2 Super Battle Droids, Droideka's, MagnaGuards, and even the BX Droid Commandos. Each where dangerous but they also had certain flaws that did not make them the best droids to use.-
-On a scouting patrol away from the main base where two BX Droid Commandos. Their job was as simple as Ronok's job was: find any signs of life in the form of a republic trooper or a jedi and eliminate the target quickly. Hearing only vague sounds through the brush about five miles from the droid base the two droids went ahead and looked into it. They came to a stop catching the blue markings of an ARF trooper and the attire and weapon of a jedi.-
[glow=navy,4,000]"There they are, just as Lord Visciouz said. Republic fools are so easy to underestimate."[/glow] [glow=maroon,4,000]"Shall I make quick work of them, sir?"[/glow] [glow=navy,4,000]"No lets follow them; see where their objectives lie and why they returned to Ossus in the first place."[/glow] [glow=maroon,4,000]"Roger roger."[/glow] -The droid holding a long sniper rifle based weapon parried his scope and the barrel of his rifle on the blue marked armored trooper hopping to make an easy job by ridding the jedi of a republic soldier that did not even hold a meaning to the galaxy. However, orders remained orders and Droid Commandos were programmed to follow them despite the urge to resist. Lowering it's sniper rifle down the Sniper Commando rose to its feet from a prone position while the Commando Captain who was in a kneeling position stood up at full height.-
-Remaining silent and keeping their distance from the republic dogs. The two droid commandos followed closely behind the two un-expecting individuals that slowly made their way to the Great Library. Their distance at about 15 maybe 20 feet while still keeping them in their sights.-
-----
{Torque and Ronok}
-Leaving their camping sight Torque continued at a moderate pace behind General Ronok. Occasionally, he would move up next to him but then fall behind a few inches to watch his back so no enemies would fire upon them. The travel seemed long with a time for breaks. However, one thing that Torque noticed that was much different then that of General Vax's was a lack of patience. Torque was no force sensitive but he did hold a great deal of patience like Vax and Aeon. The longer the travel came it seemed like Ronok was slowing his pace to match Torque's pace. Patience was slowly setting in but for how long.....-
-Coming to a stop at a vertical cliff face Torque took a small step forward kicking a small pebble down the steep incline. Only being able to hear a fain smack Torque looked up and over to Ronok who jumped off activating his lightsabers and stabbing them into the side of the cliff face. Torque simply shook his head actually seeing the recklessness within the jedi guardian. Not much longer after Ronok jumped Torque heard another snap crackle through the jungle. He quikly turned around raising his blaster for any enemies.-
[glow=cyan,4,000]"I have a bad feeling about this."[/glow] -Turning back around to the cliff side; Torque holstered the DC-15S blaster rifle onto his back. Wishing that he would of brought a DC-15A blaster rifle with an attached cable, Torque knew he had to improvise on the situation of getting onto the ground level with Ronok. Only having some droid poppers, a DC-17 hand blaster, a DC-15S blaster rifle, and several other needed items.-
-Without a seconds thought Torque just simply shook his head taking a few small steps back from his location. Taking n a deap breath of air he rushed forward jumping from the cliff to the mountain wall. Dust filled the air as he used the approaching rocks to guide his movements and slow down so he would not hit the ground so hard. Now with dirt on his white boots he turned to Ronok wanting to point his hand blaster at Ronok for making a joke. However, he resisted the temptation of fooling around with a jedi when they had that laser sword of theirs with them.-
-Continuing on from the landing point both Torque and Ronok moved forward entering into a thicker brush that would help in being concealed from inhabitants, creatres, or even a battle droid from the Clone Wars. Coming to an open area they both came to a smal stop. Torque took a quick look around for any enemies having another bad feeling that they where still being followed.-
[glow=green,4,000]"I'll lead you follow. Watch my back, and I'll watch yours."[/glow] [glow=cyan,4,000]"Got it."[/glow] -In a quick burst of speed Ronok was off. For a brief moment Torque turned his head having a funny feeling of being aimed at by a sniper rifle. Remaining calm and focused like what General Kote told him to do; Torque turned his gaze back towards Ronok who motioned him to move forward. Running with the clanking sound of his armor Torque approached next to Ronok. The wondering thought of being followed stuck with the blue armoed ARF trooper. Torque only wondered if Ronok sensed it as well.-

The feeling of being followed was grawling up my spine, so I took my lightsaber hilt off my belt and kept in deactivated in my right hand for safety. There was cover but, in case of attack I could jump up on a rock and give Torque a chance to get away. But that was only iff attack was going to happen.
It had been some time but eventually after taking cover bit by bit we made it to the mountain base, Looking back at Torque I smiled. It was good having someone who could keep up with me, and take me seriously.
[glow=green,2,300]"You know. You do remind me a bit of Tyrannos, Commander Tyrannos. A fine soldier, like you"[/glow] [glow=green,2,300]"Now, all we have to do is get up this mountain with being sitting ducks for snipers or blaster fire. This could complicate things a bit"[/glow] Staring at the mountain, to plain eye there was no way of getting up, but I saw the craftsmanship in it. A small laugh escaped me, but only a small one. Channeling the force through my body and focusing it, I jumped up to a ledge about 30 metres high, there was some cover aswell, and stairs.
[glow=green,2,300]"Would you like to join me? I have found a way up, and it has cover too. Use your grapple hook and I'll guide it up here, and help pull you up with the force"[/glow] Breathing deeply, I motioned my hands toward Torque once the Grapple hook was up and secure. Closing my eyes I stretch out an lift Torque up with the force lifting him to the ledge. When Torque was able to stand I let go and smiled, he was a good companian to have, I couldn't have chosen anyone else.
A communicaton came from my shuttle Daemon on a secure channel. It was my ARF captain nicknamed Trigger. He only used this channel if it was important.
[glow=blue,2,300]"Ronok, this is Trigger do you copy?"[/glow] [glow=green,2,300]"Ronok here, whats wrong trooper?"[/glow] [glow=blue,2,300]"I'm picking up someting on sensors...not organic based either. Most likely, you have droids following you"[/glow] My eyes looked at Torque, a small look of confusion fell upon my face. And a single thought hit me; How did she find me? How did Visciouz fond me?.
[glow=green,2,300]"How many Captain? How many are we talking about?"[/glow] [glow=blue,2,300]"No idea, if it is her, which I think it is, it could be a battalion, or even two very well upgraded models, I don't know, your guess is as good as mine"[/glow] Thinking hard and quick, I had to get the shuttle out of there now! But where? Remembering something Vax said to me about there being a shuttle bay at the back of the Libraray. Worth a shot.
[glow=green,2,300]"Okay, Trigger. Listen to me carefully, There is a shuttle bay at the back of the Library, go there and land, I will meet you there as soon as I can"[/glow] [glow=blue,2,300]"Roger that General!"[/glow] The rest of what he said was muffled, but I could make out him ordering my men back into the shuttle, and telling the pilot to go ASAP. Looking back up at Torque I sigh, I knew this was too easy. Visciouz has wanted me dead since Korriban, she even sent Scorn after me.
[glow=green,2,300]"Okay, no time to sit aorund waiting, we will get to the Building, set up a perimeter, sit tight, and wait. I will get the holocron, and take off on my bike luring our little tin cans to me, then you go back to Coruscant, and tell Vax and Aeon. I have other buisness to attend to afterwards"[/glow] Turning around I run up the stairs as fast as I can looking back making sure Torque was still behind me now and then. After a five minutes we made it to the top and my men had set up a perimeter already. Trigger approached me and saluted, his attention was then to Torque.
[glow=blue,2,300]"Get behind the big gray ARF at the door, he will tell you what to do. Ronok, get moving, scanners say we have incoming"[/glow] Nodding I run into the Library focusing, trying to locate the holocron. But no use, I stretched out, I even tried to sense the force signature attached to it, nothing worked. Aeon's voice flowed into my head, his words before I left.
[glow=orange,2,300]"Only you will be able to use this holocron, It is unique to yourself"[/glow] Then and only then did I know where to look, runnig down the hallway, I ran to a statue and there pulsing green was a holocron.
[glow=green,2,300]"If you want to hide something, hide it in plain sight"[/glow] JUmping up I swung off of the stave, then statue man was holding and to his necklace, There I pulled the holocron out of its place and jumped down. Opening one of my pouches I drop it in and seal the pouch.

{Ossus- Torque and Ronok}
-Torque's unique ability as an ARF trooper was no different then the leadership Captain Skar or General Vax Kote held. In fact, when it came to him sharing a quality some would say that Torque was like Skar while others believed him to be more like Vax who was in fact a jedi rather then a trooper for the Republic's Army. However, from what he had learned of General Vax was that he was once a trooper serving in the Clone Wars alongside many of the ancient jedi that others speak of now. So hearing that Vax knew Master Yoda, Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Master Mace Windu was no suprise to him. Vax's memory was still a blure and one thing he did not want to grasp a hold of was when he executed Order 66. That memory was long and far away.-
-But now he was fighting a whole new battle only this time he was a peace-keeper of the force. A jedi master within the order. Remaining focused much like what General Kensho had told him through the transmission Torque continued behind Ronok following him whenever there was the chance to. Except for when they came to this vertical clff face were it would be impossible for a trooper to make it up. But being a prepared ARF trooper; Torque followed through.-
[glow=green,4,000]"Would you like to join me? I have found a way up, and it has cover too. Use your grapple hook and I'll guide it up here, and help pull you up with the force"[/glow] -Because he did not have a DC-15A blaster that was equipped with a grapple hook; Torque pulled out a standard hand held one. Holstering his DC-15S blaster onto his back he raised both of his arms up aiming the grapple hook to the right location. His left hand thumb near the button as he got in the right place where it would land. Finally, clicking he button the hook was released; sent soaring into the sky up past Ronok who used the force to guide it up. Torque pulled down ensuring it was safe to start up.-
[glow=cyan,4,000]"Alright Ronok; I'm ready."[/glow] -From those words Ronok used the force once more to help Torque to the ledge that he stood on. He felt light like a feather, almost as if he was not wearing the ARF trooper armor. As his feet touched the ground all the weight returned back with the firmness of the ARF trooper armor around his body. Throwing the grapple hook off to the side Torque gripped onto his DC-15S and un-holstered it turning toward where he felt that they where being followed; the same feelin remaining there.-
-After watching Ronok speak to Captain Trigger of the possible threat of droids being sent in by Visciouz did not sound good at all. Returning to Coruscant would be to slow of a time to get the message across to General Vax and General Aeon. Ossus was in the outer rim part of the galaxy; whereas, Coruscant was within the core worlds. Although he was given orders to follow Ronok, taking orders was a whole different story. Most of his orders would either come from Captain Skar or General Vax because he was an assigned ARF trooper for them.-
-Moving up to the top of the mountain Torque lowered his rifle down into his left hand as the two were approached by Trigger of the situation. Torque felt like he was pushed aside by Trigger just to stop those who were following him. Instead, Torque's orders remained with Ronok, Vax, or Aeon for this mission and no one else. As soon as everyone left Torque took off in the opposite direction hopping to get in a transmission to Coruscant of the situation. As soon as he turned around the corner he quickly pulled out his holo-communicator and sent in a transmission to Coruscant's Jedi Temple.-
----
{Jedi Temple (Coruscant}- Vax and Aeon}
-The last transmission that Torque reported in of Ronok was on the previous night when they arrived onto the planet. Everything seemed to be going well. The jedi temple was working at a normal level with Vax and Aeon going about their normal duties. Vax sat in his personal chambers still in deep thought of something going to happen while both Torque and Ronok where on Ossus. Through meditation he saw a vision of a sneak attack on Ossus with Torque and Ronok in between it all. He thought it would be nothing big, but the force still held many mysterious and trusting ones gut was the start of it for this jedi guardian.-
-While in deap thought Vax felt a strong sensation through the force coming in from Ossus. Rising to his feet he moved out of the room towards where his senses carried them to Aeon's lightside aura which was in the training room. As he entered the room a number of younglings holding green and blue training lightsabers stood with Master Aeon going through a training session with the younglings.-
[glow=purple,4,000]"Master, I am sorry to disturb you in the middle of your training session with these younglings but I just felt a strong sensation through the force coming from the planet Torque and Ronok are on."[/glow] -Just as Vax finished those words; his holo-communicator beaped. Through the force Vax could tell it was from Ossus: it was Torque. Pulling out the holo-communicator Vax activated it. A blue holographic image of Torque in his trade-marked armor came to life.-
[glow=purple,4,000]"Yes Torque, what is it?"[/glow] [glow=cyan,4,000]"General Kote I came to inform while on our treck to the Great Library we recieved words from Ronok's captain; Trigger that we were being followed by non-organics. I held the same feeling as well."[/glow] [glow=purple,4,000]"They must be droids. Visciouz must of sent them there shortly after our last visit to the Great Library."[/glow] [glow=cyan,4,000]"I hold the same feeling as well, sir."[/glow] ----
{Ossus- Droid Commandp}
-The two droid commandos came to a stand still as the two republic individuals scaled up a vertical cliff face to the Great Library. Knowing that the republic forces that were brought to this world would set up a peremeter around the library it seemed best to deploy the batallion that was brought here to ensure that they did not make it off world alive. Pulling out his communicator the commando captain activated it.-
[glow=navy,4,000]"Bring them in. We will make sure none of those republic dogs make it off world alive."[/glow] -The droid commander on the other end of the transmission nodded before the transmission cut off. While at the same time the other droid held the ARF blue armored trooper wthin the scopes of his sniper rifle. The trooper appeared to be talking to two other Jedi's reporting to them of what was going on. Bringing the barrel near the troopers head the droid was ready to take the troopers life away from him.-
