Under the Radar (Cadeus & Ronok)

[Darth Angelus™]

Coruscant, an entire planet made up of a giant city. Gangs and crime are mainly focused in the Lowercity and Undercity of the planet. But sometimes, and rarely sometimes, it surfaces to the higher district levels. But the Republic and the Jedi Order have always been swift to end the trouble, wherever it may be.

But now days, it has been a week since the shocking assassination of the Supreme Chancellor, and the Senate is still voting. This allowed a Crime Lord to surface and begin causing havoc, Gnarlak Dex was the name of the man. But he wasn't really entirely man, his entire left arm and righ leg were robotic, along with his eyes. This gave him an advantage in combat.

Jedi Master Ronok Vang, one of the Jedi Orders finest warriors has been given permission by the Jedi Council to arrest the man, or if that does not work... Kill him. Ronok, still shocked from the severe innury of his Republic Captain Gore, will have to put his mind to the mission if he is to succeed.

The Jedi Padawan before me was in his Trial of Knighthood, I had been asked by his Master, Kwon Gaal, to test him. So far, so good. Raising by blade in front of me, I leap over him as he rushes in for a quick attack! Not looking back my blade swung back and pointed at his neck which he batted away with great strength. The high pitched hum of my green blade sounded as I attacked, slashing at his chest.

Soon, after countless attacks and defensive parries, I deactivated my blade. I nodded to Kwon Gaal, to proceeded to Knight his Padawan. Turning around I walk away, my black robe fluttered as I walked down the dim hallway. Pulling my large hood over my face, I walk toward the lift and get in. After getting out, I walk through the living quarters and stop at the room of Cadeus. I knock on the door.

"This is Jedi Master Vang"

[Cadeus]

:After a minute the door opens and Cadeus becomes visible. It has been a long time since Cadeus had met Master Vang on Mustafar. Cadeus seemed different, not just in his clothes but in his stance. Due to spending most of his time training in Form 2 his movements have become more graceful and quick.:

"Hello, Master Vang.

:The room Cadeus is in could be considered functional with very little of anything that could be considered fancy. It has only what he needs. A place to sleep, somewhere to store his extra clothes and on a small desk would be whatever books he was reading.:

[Darth Angelus™]

"Cadeus, I have been given permisson from the Council to investigate a Crime Lord that has rcently surfaced. Would you like to accompany me in this mission?"

My rasp voice made an intimidating man, not to mention my scars and muscular build. My two silver and black lightsaber hilts visible, but my rumoured third hilt was clipped on the back of my belt, where it won't be seen. Listening to his response I stand patiently, in my age, I have become more patient than I used to be when I was younger. I have become a lot more wiser to the Jedi Code.

Looking at Cadeus, remined me of my brother Konnor, but Vax will always be the brother that I gained, the entire Order knows of the friendship we have. But Aeon hasn't come forward totell us to stop.

It was good to see Cadeus, make a change siince the last time I saw him. The first time I saw him, he was much younger and naive, I gave him my Drexl tooth necklace as a symbol of trust. But then Visciouz twisted his mind and made him her slave, however, he broke free of her grasp just like Vax did. Just not as violently. And from what I have been told in Council meetings, he has been doing exceptionally well at leaving his former life behind, and starting a new one.

Captain Gore, my Field Commander had a similar struggle after leaving the Sith as a soldier. He now lives with the burden of slaughtering thousands of civilians, that is punishment enough for any redeemed soul. They were both in a similar if not the same boat.

[Cadeus]

Of course, Master Vang. I would be happy to accompany you.

:Cadeus says, sounding slightly monotone when he speaks. His time on Korriban has made him perhaps a bit cold, it is unlikely that he will ever completely repair the damage of being involved with the dark side of the force for as long as he was. It causes him to have difficultly with using the force at times but he does his best in any case.:

Is there something in particular that makes this Crime Lord more dangerous than a normal enemy, Master Vang?

:When Cadeus finishes speaking, he will do his best to listen to every detail, hoping to find out as much about the enemy that he will have to work against as possible. Cadeus has learned that knowing about the enemy makes almost any situation when dealing with that enemy easier.:

[Darth Angelus™]

"This one killed not just a Repubic Commando Squad, but the Jedi Knight accompanying them. So pack light, and be sure to stay close to me at ALL times as I do not know how many followers this person has. Is that clear Cadeus?"

I looked into his eyes, my misty grey eyes were right into his, after his response I nodded. Wishing I knew more about this enemy, I sighed and motioned him to follow. He would only need his lightsaber and hooded Jedi Robe. My large black hood remained on my head throughout the short coversation with Cadeus. It remained on for mostly my entire time here at the Temple, but most of the Jedi were used to it, I was known as the Ghost Guardian, I move like a shadow and strike hard and fast at my enemies.

Entering the lift, Cadeus stands next to me, he wasn' finding it easy here, I could imagine how uneasy he is going to feel working alongside me, afterall last time we fought, he tried to kill me. But I had forgiven him of that, and he had become a valued member of the Order in the Council's eyes.

"Ease up young one. In my eyes yur are more than worthy of being a Jedi. And I am honoured to call you my battle brother in this war. I trust you Cadeus"

Stepping outside the lift, Captain Gore, my Field Captain was waiting for me just as I hoped he would be. I would need him in this investigation, his knowledge of the underbelly of Coruscant was invaluable. Gore quickly at at Cadeus and back to me, he was uncomfortable with his presense.

"He is coming with us Gore. He is a Jedi now"

"That's not what he used to be. But so be it, if it must be so"

Leaning over to Cadeus, I whisper into his ear. Just smething to encourage and reassure him.

"You are both in the same boat. He will warm up to you, give him time"

Standing back up we walk to the Hangar Bay and pass a group of Aeon's Blue Hand, and Vax Kte's Wolf Fighters. Then in black and dark grey armour were my Shadow Corps, and my main infantry, the Renegades. Even though I would be only taking Gore, the sight was overwhelming, almost exciting to experience. Many saw me and saluted, Vax and I were favourites among many men, Vax had gone off to Dantooine to help train recruits.

Stepping inside a LAAT shuttle I hung onto a grip as the shuttle began to tak off. This trip wouldn't take long, probably five to ten minutes tops. I had spent a lot of time off Coruscant and on the Frontlines, but that Was Aeon's and Vax's turn now. For now I hae to keep order on this incredibly massive floating ball made up of a city. Impossible? I have never know that word in my life as a Jedi.

[Cadeus]

:Gore's words did not have a visible effect on Cadeus, he just looked on as the shuttle flew over the city. Cadeus did not expect Gore to act much differently, especially if Gore had a reason to dislike the Sith.:

:Courscant was Cadeus's home, he knew that the lower city was dangerous. The Crime Lord had chosen a good place to hide. Very few people would notice one more criminal in an already criminal filled part of the city.:

Did the team of commandos find out where the Crime Lord is hiding, Master Vang?

:Cadeus began to wonder how they would be able to arrest the Crime Lord if he had been able to kill not only the commandos but a Jedi as well. As Cadeus stood in the shuttle, he began to develop ideas for how it would be possible to arrest the Crime Lord.:
