Ruusan: Journey to the Valley of the Jedi
  • Posted On: Jun 29 2003 2:00am
Jacen landed on Ruusan in a X-Wing and steped out on to the Ruusan land, he took in a deep breath, "It's good to breath fresh air again" said Jacen, now 19 years old, he started walking and let the force lead him to his cousins

As Jacen was walking he started rememebering what happen the day he had to flee...

***

Jacen was in his room when the sith attacked, he grabbed his lightsaber and ran to the Padawan Training Hall to look for his Master, but he didn't find him, jacen was told that his Master went to help the other Jedi's fight, Jacen decided to look for Hanix when he came upon a small group of Padawans

Jacen walked up to them, "Do any of you, guys, know whats going on?" asked Jacen, "The Sith have attacked and all the Knights and Master went to confront them" said One of the Padawans, "What should we do?" asked another Padawan, "We should try to get to the shuttles" said Jacen

so they all started walking to the hanger when The Sith started to storm the hall, "RUN!" yelled Jacen, he activated his Lightsaber, and started running with that Padawansbut soon the sith were on the chase and Jacen decided to buy the others sometime and stopped running and turned around to face them

The Sath turned on their lightsabers and rushed towards Jacen, Jacen used Force Pushed some of them and took on two, He swung right and left and Force jump slashed at the two sith, they blocked the attacks easy, Jacen looked ahead to see if they had boarded the shuttle and they did

Jacen fought on soon the other Sith fought Jacen too, Jacen fought bravely, he took some of the sith out and was left with two siths to fight but they soon over powered jacen, Jacen tried to lash at the sith but the sith used his lightsaber and hit Jacen's lightsaber hard and the other sith cut Jacen's right arm off and pushed him, Jacen passed out

Soon awoke on a shuttle, "Where am I?" asked Jacen, "your on a shuttle head to Refueling station" said a Woman tending to Jacen's arm, they soon put a mechanical arm on him, Jacen stayed at the station and trained himself and built a new Lightsaber, and changed his clothes and flew himself to Ruusan

***

Jacen found a few people and noticed one of them was Hanix, "Its good to see you again" said Jacen as he walked up to Hanix

Dyani smiled warmly as her hand met Cal’s, a greeting in a grasp. She conversed in gentle tones, trying to speak over the youthful exchanges of the twins.

“Good to see you are safe, my friend… it has been quite some time since Ossus…”

Her vision seemed to turn inward and then to the lush enfolding Ruusanian landscape.

“As for our efforts… well, there isn’t much that I can tell you that your own eyes cannot.
We are re-building, settling….healing….

I suggest you cleanse yourself for your continuing trails, my soon to be Jedi, try to clear your spirit of the shadows that fell upon our world…

The Masters will inform us of the various ways that we can assist with the re-location of the Praxeum…”

Dyani could feel little hands tugging at the long fabrics of her robes as fresh young minds called out for attention. The young woman looked down and beamed at the jeweled eyes of her little lights.

“Now, if you’ll excuse, I have to get these two back to the nursery before they make spectacles of themselves….
Drink in the majesty of your new home, my friend…. May the force be with you…”

Odon listened to the wise words of Cronos Aegir, as he spoke of the conditioning of the jedi padawans.

I wholeheartedly agree Cronos, for some here use the force as a crutch, never knowing their true limits, feeling blind when their power fails. If they knew themselves they would be stronger for it.See that they understand this and incorporate in the training regimen.

His mind caught a stray thought in master jedi Kenshin Katarn's mind.

Master jedi, I know you are thing of the force fountain that is said to exist on Ruusan. I believe you and a select few should seek this site out and expose the mystery that surrounds it. We must find it before the sith or a padawan stumble upon it. Do you accept this task?

Folding his arms, Odon waited for the younger jedi to answer this important question.

Kenshin was a bit startled as Master Odon suddenly spoke to him. With a nod, he stood and walked over to where the rest of the Jedi were gathered.

"Of course. It would be an honor to seek out such a reknown site. I may be able to discover a few personal ties to this planet as well..."

The young Jedi Knight's mind wandered a bit as he thought about what Arkan had spoken earlier. Shaking his head to wake himself from the sudden reverie, he gave a slightly apologetic smile.

"I suppose I'd better gather some information on the site and a search team for the job. How many do you suggest should go?"

Luis remained silent as Master Baas spoke. Although he listened and thought, his mind was too weary to do so with great potency. While physically fit and strong from training and lightsaber battles, the human body could only take so much..
He again drew upon the strength of the force to keep on his feet while he tended to the wounded and helped unpack supplies, he was devoted to helping the Praxeum rebuild in any way he could.

Odon listened to Kenshins words, causing him to ponder this question.

I would say about 3 knights to accompany you. Luis here would be a good candidate. The others you can choose at your own liesure. Now, are their any more suggestions from this council on curriculum, strategy, or any other topics?

Luis looked up as his name was mentioned. He nodded as he spoke:

"I would be honoured Master Baas, thank you"

He said with a slight bow of his head to the Jedi Master. His eyes glided to Kenshin:

"Hello, my name is Luis D'Nubra"

He said, extending a hand and his usual warm smile to the Knight.

Whisps of darkness came in through a sudden breeze, holding position over a certain area that began to resonate with a warm, stale air. In a matter of seconds, the area began to discharge a constant electrical energy that touched only upon the ground or wagged into the air. The electricity began to fold in on itself, dragging the dark particles together like a consuming amoeba. Then suddenly, the electrical output stopped and the whisps began to fly off again, except that something emerged from the particles that still remained.

A being in a dark robe emerged, taking all the whisps into its being as it stepped down as though it had jumped a high place. Black boots moving forward, black gloved taking the hood slowly back.

"A year has passed since I departed," Arkan began, "Alas I return to fulfill my Trial..."

Something moved from under his left robe-sleeve, a serpent-like creature slithered forward and encircled his hand before pushing itself up into the air. Arkan grabbed its midsection and let it solidify to a staff. It snarled a bit, but that was just its normal signal that it was in ready use.

He looked to the Jedi Master who condemned his path, bowing graciously and understanding the point that was given a year earlier. But Arkan had found salvation before, that was why he was able to do it again, despite how difficult it was as a Sith compared to being a Dark Jedi before.

Then he looked to Kenshin, his former Master, and Luis whom he met at the cantina not long before he left.

"I am to suppose this is the supposed crew to the heart of the ancient battleground?," Arkan asked Kenshin.

Kenshin nodded and turned to see the young man who introduced himself to be the Jedi Knight Luis D'Nubra that Master Odon had spoken about.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Kenshin Katarn."

Taking the hand, the dark haired young man offered a nod and a warm smile in return.

Suddenly, feeling a familiar presence from a long time ago, Kenshin turned to see Arkan, his former padawan. Nodding, he offered the darkly clad zabrak a friendly smile as well.

"Yep. This is the crew so far."
