The Hope snuck silently into the system. Kamon kept all signatures as muted as possible without a cloak. He surveyed the area with the Force.

To his surprise there were quite a few people, Jedi to be exact, on the ground. That made him curious. He shot towards the planet and ignored all hails.

He landed quickly on a landing pad that he could see. There wasn't much around except a Spire. He walked out of the ship and headed towards it. A few guards moved to stop him.

With a flick of his wrist he sent them sprawling backwards. They tried to get up, but he pushed them back to the ground and walked past.

Neering the spire, he could not sense or find a way to enter. His saber proved unable to cut through the metal or whatever substance was on it. He sat down on the ground and waited.

Alana laughed, "Time heals all wounds. I'm not quite back 100% yet, but I'm getting there. She winked at her brother before she dragged him along. Then she saw Jacen out of the corner of her eye. She pounced again, "Hey Jacen. Long time no see!"

Jacen turned around and saw Alana, "Yes it has been a long time" said Jacen as went to hug her, "How have you been?" he asked

Arkan nodded to Kenshin, he waved his gloved right hand to the orange cloudy skies, between two smooth rock peaks a number of clicks away. This was where their journey, their quest, would begin. As Jedi together, the Battleground of the Jedi would be laid bare. The trail of Jerec's Imperial constructions would be of aide to them, however old they may be.

"Those peaks over there is the direction we need to take, whatever information you have gathered or haven't gathered, we can access the Praxeum's library with an Imperial satellite dish," Arkan said to Kenshin, "That is hoping if Master Kieff remembered to store a digital library on Ruusan. Afterward, we gather what supplies we can find, considering they were left here by Imperial Forces during Jerec's quest for power, then we start the rigorous hell of sifting through the canyons and to the ruined transport where the Jedi Battleground should be located."

Odon's train of thought was broken by several things; the first being the entrance of a dark figure who had abandoned the praxeum over a year ago. Looking at him sternly Odon made his voice heard.

This mission is for Jedi alone Arkan. You are not wanted here if you still follow your dark ways. If you have not come to complete your trials then you must leave Ruusan immediately. Only jedi will search for the fountain.

Hearing the squabble on his comlink he listened to the Guardsmen speak.

Let him enter Captain, he is an old friend. A tall lanky man entered, obviously suprised to see so many jedi in this valley. Odon walked to greet the younger man, pleased he had shown.

It has been along time Kamon; since the Rhamanool rebellion on Bogden about 7 years ago. Tell me, what brings a Rogue to the Jedi Praxeum?

Arkan looked to Master Odon Baas with a bit of sadness. There was no time to complete the Trials and commence the expedition he expected Kenshin to take, so he had to make a choice. No, he understood Odon Baas would not take his involvement in the dark arts lightly, he would be scrutinized at every turn, sentenced to death if he persisted. No, he would unlock the power of the Jedi Burial Ground just as Kyle Katarn and Jerec did. It was time for him to depart.

"No need to be prejudiced for what I have taken as a path and what I am, Master," he bowed to Odon, "But I will fulfill my Trials when I have overcome the darkness. I am almost there... your judgment will hamper my progress. Whether you have me as enemy or ally... you will find me at the entrance of the Jedi Burial Ground."

Arkan looked gravely at Kenshin, "Don't expect me to be alone. But don't expect me to be hostile," he ended with a smile.

He started to make his way manually to the direction he pointed out, yet stopped. "Unless you wish to test me right here, right now, Jedi Master."

Kamon smiled as he was allowed entrance. When he walked in though he was amazed at what he saw.

"Baas? Yes it has been a long time."

He glanced around to see who else was here. He recognized a few faces, but not very many.

"I came because I somehow felt attracted here. I dunno. Maybe the Force wants me here. Plus I put a tracker on Kenshins ship."

Kenshin nodded and committed to memory the direction Arkan gestured at.

"Follow the omnious Imperial structures eh?" He spoke with a slight chuckle.

Hearing Master Odon's stern voice made him turn. It seemed that situations between him and Arkan hadn't changed much all this time either.

When Arkan spoke to him again, it was in a tone more grave. It seemed that he really wanted to discover the power of this Jedi Burial Ground and that make him slightly nervous. What was exactly there anyway?

"Well, I suppose I'll see you there then?"

He then turned to Master Baas and wondered if he would test Arkan right here, right now.

Do not dictate to me in this place of honor dark one. You have no place here among these masters of the light. When you are through with your foolish quest and have purged the darkness, then you may return to us.

Turning to Kamon, he apologized.

I must give my apologies Master Vondiranach, for it seems a dark pupil has returned. Please old friend, steady your weapon, since he is leaving us this instant. So tell me, how does a Rogue master end up on Ruusan and more importantly, what can we do for you.

OOC: Sorry, I'm to lazy to change screan names right now.

Alana smiled and hugged Jacen, "Been doing well. Much better lately than in the past. How about you?"
