Jedi Temple

[Empress Palpatine]

After safely entering hyperspace I leave the cockpit of my shuttle and search out my JN-66 droid, Blue Eyes. I found him plugged into the shuttles extensive library computer, as usual.

"Drop whatever you're doing, Blue, and get looking for all Sith related individuals, groups, and events relating to Yavin 4."

"Mistress Palpatine, I have already begun the search. I am searching through all known data on the moon and cross referencing it with all known information on the Sith."

"Include in your search all information, even speculation, on the whereabouts of all Sith artifacts and meeting places. No point going into this clueless if we don't need to."

"I will continue my work, Mistress."

"You do that, I'm going to do some of my exercises."

The huge cargo bay of "Palpy's Death" most often remained empty and was mainly used for a practice area. Along the wall sat various items ranging in size, shape, and weight. As I walked to the center of the open area I used my Force powers to raise these objects into the air and slowly begin their circle of the area.

I crouched low to the metal floor and began taking up various attack and defensive positions. My weapon remained attached to my belt, I would not need it this time.

All at once and at random I brought an item rushing towards me. I ducked the first metal shape and quickly jumped high into the air to avoid being knocked over by the second. From another direction a third object cut sharply for my head but was kicked away by a Force-aided sweep of my leg as I swung around to narrowly miss being hit in the arm by yet another object.

As I tested my abilities, strengths, and weaknesses against myself and these unforgiving objects I kept my mind focused on the task at hand. Somewhere in the back of my mind I wondered what awaited our arrival on Yavin 4. In my earlier meditation I had sensed many evils throughout the galaxy and Yavin 4 was only one, and not neccessilarily the strongest of them.

But, for the time being, worrying about these evils could do me little good and much harm. As I chided myself for my distraction I narrowly missed being knocked in the back of the head by a large metal object that I did not remember being part of the meginarie of my training toys.

"Mistress! Please put me down!" Blue Eyes called in a most distressed tone.

"Opps. Sorry, Blue. Guess I was more distracted than even I had realized."

[§Ý Nightfire]

Comes out of hyperspace behind Mistress Palpatine and gets his comlink out.

"Didnt I tell you and Ken to bring fighters; I brought my jedi starfighter and Master Ken brought an X-wing. DO you have a fighter with you?"

[Fez]

*emerges last*
I yawn and stretch as the lines become to stars, only to see I have arrived last.
"Batha Fodder!"
"Quincy we left before Master Jarin and at the same time as the palpy, why did we get here last?"
*derisive whistles*
"Ill show you how to lose weight, no matter, Im sure I can get some more of that stuff for dirt cheap back home in the unknown regions"
I open the frequency
"Looks like I lost the bet empress, still want to share it?"
Just then I feel another tremor in the force, anger and pain is near, emitting in wide waves from the planet surface.
"You guys feel that?"

[Empress Palpatine]

"Star fighter, star ship, don't see how one's better than the other," I shrug. "I'm equipped to do some pretty major damage in a fight and my ships fast enough to have beaten both of your fighters here, plus I had space to practice on the way. And NO I don't have a fighter."
As I near Yavin 4 ship alarms sound all around me. Blue hovers into the cockpit and plugs into the ship's main controls.
"What's going on?"
"There seems to be a disturbance on the moon's surface. I'm trying to locate the exact location."
As the droidsworks I feel not only pain but also evil and it is very near. I signal affirmative to Heiwa and ask Master Kenobi what his orders are.

OOC> where has my master* gone? (*IJediMaster)

Feeling lots of physical pain , the anger starting to swell, and with a brust of frusstration and room expolde's with force lighting and the droids drop like fly's emerging for the reckage stand a figure inlived with power and evil flowing freely from his anger

"Very good...you have channeled your anger effectively. Look how powerful it has made you."
I rose from my chair, and walked over to my apprentice. I placed my hand on his shoulder, "your training has improved much. But now is not the time for more training. We must make way to Yavin 4. In my meditations I have forseen an artifact of great importance to us. However the Jedi are on the move, so we must be swift. Let us go to the Hangar."
I led my master to the hangar bay.

[§Ý Nightfire]

Begin your descent, land together.

[Fez]

"Entering atmosphere, reverse thrusters at full power"
I survey the view as my roughly buffered ride suddenly eases as we emerge inside the clouds, there are a two small starfighters already on the ground in front of one of the main temples. From my current vantage point I cannot make out their markings but as I near they appear to be dark in appearance and baring a strange mark of which I have never encountered before.
"Heads up we're not alone, anyone recognise that mark? Expecting company?"

[DsIRON]

Upon entering the ship, seeing my master sit down, i went stright to the cockpit and sat down in the pilot seat and started the engines

[Empress Palpatine]

"Do you recognize the markings, Blue?"
"No, Mistress, they are not in my databanks."
"Any chance they're on our side?" I ask as I bring my shuttle around to get a better look at the fighters. "I was under the impression that there would be other's on this mission, maybe they're here waiting for us."

[§Ý Nightfire]

"No they are not with us. Follow me, we will land and then investigate. Bring anything that may help for battle."

[Empress Palpatine]

"Make sure our weapons and cloacking sheild are online and standing by, Blue. I don't want to use them but if we have to I want them ready. Follow Master Kenobi down and watch out. I'm going to put a bag together of supplies we might need. If anything curious, suspicious, or anywhere near out of the norm I want to know. Got it?"
"I understand, Mistress. Will I be needed after we land?"
"I don't think so. You'll be safest in the ship, I'll also want you to continue your search. I assume you haven't found anything yet."
"Not yet, Mistress, but I haven't been able to put much time to it, other things keep distracting me."
"Don't whine, Blue, it's never attractive for a droid."

[§Ý Nightfire]

"Ken, prepare for battle."

I land my Starfighter in the trees and hop out with my lightsaber in hand.

"I sense a disturbance in the force."

I ignite my lightsaber and start to move toward the two mysterious ships.

[Fez]

After hearing Master Jarins orders I feel a slight touch in the force, something familiar I have not felt in several years.
I close my eyes and focus myself inward despite all aspects of impending danger, Quincys frantic squeals fade to silence as I leave the real world and its distractions. The touch quickly becomes stronger and a faint humming is tuned into a voice
"Ken, honey its me, Im alive, my father made me shut down myself in the force so that you would believe I was dead, but Im here Ken, Im here, come find me Im in trouble, Im in the..."
And then the voice was violently cut off and followed by a current of pain, the shock sends me hard against my seat but I stay in focus to feel where she is.
Just when I feel I can take no more of the pain I find her, the unkown regions, namely the Chiss system that I left so long ago when I believed her dead at the hands of her father for prooving traitorous to the empire.
Despite all else on around me I know what I must do.
I key the comlink and with a sigh and determined edge to my voice begin.
"Sorry Master Jarin, Empress. I am leaving, I have other more urgent duties to perform to where I know my services will be fully appreciated."
And with that I turn my fighter out of descent, ignoring Quincys insistent tweets and head for orbit, setting the course to the Chiss system as I go vertigo. I know it from memory and dont need Quincys help, he will understand one day. As I hope the others will.
I break out of the gas giants mass shadow and with one last sigh of what could have been enter hyperspace.

[§Ý Nightfire]

where I know my services will be fully appreciated."

"Thats why we are Jedi, Ken. We are not in search of appreciation. WE are in search for justice. Mistress Palpatine, we are to do are mission here and then we will got to the Chiss system to retrieve Ken."

I go through the bushes with my lightasaber activated and with Mistress Palpatine behind me. We go into the clearing where the ships are landed at and then a dozen battle droids come running towards us firing rapidly. I activate the other blade of my lightsaber and start to deflect and return the shots.

One by on the droids fall while Mistress Palpatine and I work to deystroy the last two.....as the last of the droids fall we approach the ships with our lightsabers still hissing as we move.
