	Title: Tales of a Deceased Jedi Author: Brentus Characters: Jalak Tessle, Tak Vedis, and other OCs and perhaps some KOTOR characters Genre: Humor with some serious undertones Time Frame: varies, but all before Love Me Two Times - check out individual stories for time line Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars nor would I want to except for the loads of cash that would be heaped onto my doormat every day. Notes: This will be a collection of short, multi post stories. Story 1: Someone's Coming (part 1) - about one hundred eighty years before Love Me Two Times ~~~~ A man eased himself into a comfortable chair, grabbing a video game controller. He sighed wearily after a tough day at work. The game flashed on a screen; a hack/slash game set in ancient China. he worked the controls like a master, dodging spear thrusts and arrows. The sword his favorite character wielded cut wide swaths through the enemy soldiers. Reaching for his soda on the nearby table, the man cussed softly as he knocked the glass to the floor. Fortunately, the glass was mostly empty and didn't cause too much of a mess. Still, he grumbled as he got up to get a few paper towels. Wiping up the floor, the man at first didn't notice a small pinpoint of light forming just in front of his television set. The light grew, pulsating in a hypnotizing rhythm until he finally straightened up and spotted it. "Funny," he said, squinting at the tv, "it never did that before." Suddenly, the light shot forward, encasing him within its luminescence. "And I'm glad* it never did that before!" he yelled, just before he faded out of existence... ~~~~ Tak Vedis was out for a morning stroll near the Jedi Temple on the sweeping cityscape world of Coruscant. It was his first day as a Master after seventy years with the Jedi. Normally, FrAGs (people From Another Galaxy) like him would be relegated to the archives for the rest of their time in this galaxy. The ever wise Masters of the Council feared the over emotional states FrAGs often arrived in, and Tak never blamed them; in the history of the Republic, all but five of the thousands of extra-galactic visitors had turned Sith, unable to handle the Force and their responsibilities to the energy field. Stepping lightly, as if floating on a cloud of his own excitement, Tak passed several large, flashing neon signs on his way to his favorite little bistro in an out of the way alley. Normally, he didn't leave the confines of the Temple to eat, but this was a special occasion. He had only been on three missions outside the Temple, as FrAGs were strictly relegated to the interior and their intense training to remain in the Light, but his Master, the venerable, if short, Odeon had insisted the only way Tak would learn to be a responsible Jedi was to take him out into the world - after all, the Jedi were not a cloistered order - they had a responsibility to the galaxy. Odeon had realized early on, that Tak was different from most FrAGs - he had a brain in his head and was extremely compassionate as well. It was a real honor for Tak to be Odeon's padawan - for the well respected Grand Master had been around training padawans for several centuries. He learned many things from his diminutive Master, and was very grateful. Wriggling into a booth in the far corner, partially concealed by shadow, Tak settled in to the seat with a contented sigh - the cushions in the cantina were a damn sight more comfortable than anything in the stodgy Temple. He loved this particular little place for one reason only: the food was terrible, but it was served by a cute, tall redhead by the name Catryona (Kathryn) in her native tongue from the Eire system in the Outer Rim. "Top 'o the mornin' to ya, Tak!" she called with that little lilt in her voice that made his heart sing. "Good morning to you too, Kathryn," he replied with a smile. "What'll you be having this mornin', cutie," she teased. Suddenly, a huge commotion errupted outside with several various species running inside the cantina in a near frenzy. When they looked over to the corner booth and saw a Jedi sitting there, they rushed over to him and started raving incoherently. Finally, Tak stood up and the aliens moved out of his way. Calmly, he walked toward the door, having no idea whatsoever what he would find. As he approached the transparisteel panels, he caught sight of a tremendous crowd, gathered around a small cubby hole in the folds of one of the adjacent buildings. Thinking it might be a fight he needed to break up, Tak stepped forward and through the doors, back out into the bright sunshine of a crisp new day - and into the Twilight Zone. The crowd parted like a red sea as the robed Jedi made his way toward the center of activity. Finally he stopped short. In front of him was a sight worthy of a camera - too bad Tak had left his at his house... in the galaxy he came from. There was a person, a human by the look, who seemed to be fading into existence. Tak silently wondered if that's how he appeared all those decades ago when he arrived here. As the being became more solid, Tak began to notice similarities to someone he knew long ago, in a galaxy far, far away... "Kriff!" The entire crowd turned to regard the cussing Jedi with amused stares. Some covered their children's ears and scolded him for his unfortunate choice of words. No matter; he had to disperse them anyway, before someone alerted Coruscant Security forces. "Move along," Tak said, directing the gaping beings on their way. "Nothing to see here." He repeated his missive several times as the crowd grudgingly complied. When things were much quieter, Tak turned back to the cantina and bumped right into Catryona who was hanging around for a closer look. "I need your help," he said quietly. "My help, do you say now?" She batted her curled eyelashes at him. "What be you needing my help for, Master* Jedi?" Absently rubbing his cheek, Tak turned back to the human who was becoming more solid by the second. He turned back and stared into her glassy, emerald pools for a moment and almost lost himself. "Uh," he finally stammered, "I need you to allow me to take this person back into the office of your cantina so I can question him. Um, Jedi business and all that." The flaming haired, freckled beauty, eyed him suspiciously for a moment. "'Jedi business', eh? I don't know about that, my friend." Just as he was about to splutter another useless barrage of words at her, she winked, then looked to her boots. "I suppose you could talk the wampas into buying ice cream, Tak," she said softly. "You can use the office and I'll stand guard. If this person gets caught by the Coruscant Security force, I'm goin' to be in serious trouble." He placed a warm hand on her shoulder and she raised her eyes to meet his. "Don't worry," he said, "I'll make sure nothing happens to you." Catryona turned and headed back into the cantina, turning to glance back at him before disappearing into the back. Tak turned and watched patiently as the man became more and more tangible. Moving around to see the man's face, Tak was finally certain he actually knew this person. What were the odds that, in an infinite universe, two people from the same lonely planet, could end up being pulled back through thousands of years of time to this galaxy by the Force? Certainly just those odds alone were astronomical, and yet, that those two people had been from the same time and could actually know each other, it simply defied belief. And yet this person, who could finally move, if only slightly, as he still wasn't totally solid yet, actually recognized Tak as well. There was no mistaking; this was his old friend. "Can you hear me, buddy?" Tak said to his friend. The man didn't try to speak. Waiting patiently, Tak watched as the man finally morphed fully into the galaxy. He turned, and regarded Tak with a raised brow. "What the hell am I doing here, bro? And where is here, and why are you here too, and what's with that crazy accent, Ja-" Tak cut him off with a finger to his own lips. "Shhh, buddy, real names could get our heads chopped off around here. You have to come with me so I can explain - in private." "Uh-uh," the man refused. "I ain't going anywhere till you tell me-" He stopped himself as a uniformed squad made a turn into the back alley and hurried up to them. "Friends of yours?" he asked quietly. Tak shook his head slowly back and forth. "These are not friendly individuals." The mob stopped a meter short of Tak, who stood steadfast in front of his friend. One of the uniformed men stepped forward. "Master Jedi, I see you have cornered the FrAG for us; we thank you, but now, please, step aside and let us enforce the law." Tak sighed and drew his lightsaber from its hilt. "The Jedi are keepers of the peace; I cannot allow you to murder someone. He is under my protection; leave now." The mob lunged forward but Tak quickly pushed them back with a burst from the Force. He grabbed his friend by the wrist and they both took off like a shot as the uniformed officers fell backwards in a heap. -----signature----- In time or so I'm told, I'm just another soul for sale, oh well Feel it in my bones when you break my back, break it just to watch me bend Why'd you have to go and Let it Die? -Foo Fighters http://conscienceoftheking.blogspot.com/

	Someone's Coming (part 2) Rounding a corner, Tak caught sight of another angry mob, moving in their direction. Things were getting sticky. They were hundreds of stories up in a city that seemed to be entirely focused on his friend. On the other hand, they were also running out of places to run. The other hand, it seems, isn't always a good thing. "What now, bro?" the olive skinned man asked, in between breathless puffs. In the window of a fashion store, Tak caught a fleeting glimpse of Catryona, waving frantically in his direction. Going blindly on faith in the Force, he grabbed his friend's wrist and pulled him in through the front doors. They quickly took the nearest hoverpad to cross over a large open area often used to showcase new fashions for the drooling public. Catryona soon appeared at the other end, but so did a huge mob. Tak spied a glimmer of light reflect off the durasteel of a concealed blaster in the hands of one of the mob, pointed at the redhead. Turning, they saw the side they just left swarming with security forces. "It's good to see the welcoming committee is back," Tak's friend commented dryly. "Hold tight to the railing," Tak mumbled under his breath as he fiddled with the controls of the hoverpad. The pad dipped, then rose a meter in the air. The speed increased sharply, and Tak's friend howled his displeasure. With typical Jedi acrobatics, Tak leapt from the pad, landing right next to Catryona. His saber hummed and the whine of a durasteel blaster being severed filled their ears. Tak grabbed Catryona's waist and leapt back for the hoverpad. The entire maneuver took less than two seconds to complete. The hoverpad lurched to the side under Tak's not quite so skillful manipulations. The giant transparisteel panel at the rear of the store burst into a billion sparkling shards as they slammed their way through it, back out into the open air. "It's not my fault," Tak whined as he pounded on the controls. "Why does this all seem so familiar?" his friend mused. Suddenly, the hoverpad lost power and quickly descended toward a walkway extending between two buildings. Grabbing both of his friends around the waist, Tak pulled them both away, just as the pad crashed into the walkway. A terrible explosion rocked the walkway, causing it to buckle. Citizens scattered everywhere. Tak and his friends were unharmed, however, the walkway soon cracked, throwing them off balance. Tak reached to his belt and quickly flung his grappling hook just as everything gave way. Clenching tightly to his friends, they all managed to swing in through the open window of a small office. "Now can you tell me where I am?" Tak's friend asked as they rolled across the floor. Tak was about to open his mouth, when a door slid open and an angry mob rushed inside. A blaster bolt sunk into the floor only inches from Catryona's hand. Quite flustered, Tak rose quickly, drawing his saber and deflecting another blast from making a rather large and inconvenient hole in his old friend's head. He was about to pull his companions to safety, when 'safety' became a nonexistent commodity. The door on the far side lurched open and more angry humans and aliens poured inside. Everywhere he turned, more beings streamed toward them. "What now, chief?" Tak twitched his head back toward the broken transparisteel panel they had just come through. "Oh, you're kidding me... right?" "Afraid not, old buddy," Tak replied. Swiftly, he slapped his friend on the back, sending him spiralling out the window. He gripped Catryona's hand tightly, urging her forward. "Do you trust me?" he asked the redhead quietly. She winked in reply, then quickly stepped up to the open space and leapt out, taking Tak with her. "So what now... buddy?" Tak's friend asked as they plummeted toward their doom at the bottom of a thousand stories. "Someone want to let me in on the gag? Why exactly are we killing ourselves?" Tak was busy with the controls on his wrist, but he shot his friend an amused grin. "I had to get you away from that crowd because they were going to kill you." "And you did it by throwing me out a window? Smooth, very smooth, I got to hand it to you." "Droll," Tak chided. "We're not going to die. Not unless the mob catches us. The Republic has a death sentence - the only death sentence in the Republic - against people like us; you, my friend are a FrAG." "Say that again and I'll belt ya!" "No, no," Tak corrected, "there's an 'r' in there. It means we're from another galaxy. In case you hadn't figured it yet, or just wanted me to be the first to say it, we're in the galaxy far far away, supposedly imagined by some guy wearing flannel who made millions from his movies." He continued pushing a few buttons while he spoke, confusing his friend even more. "Right." The man pronounced the word very slowly and carefully. "So what, I suppose you're a Jedi?" Tak nodded. "Uh-huh, and I suppose you're going to have this big ol' speeder come up along side us and we're supposed to just get in and everybody will be safe and sound?" "You're following along nicely, my friend," Tak replied. Almost immediately, a four seater speeder came into view. It leveled with the three falling people and became as steady as a rock. They all climbed in easily and sank into the comfortable seats. Tak took the controls and the speeder launched into a steep turn and climb, coming up quietly intothe normal traffic lanes. He studied his friend before speaking. "You need a more Star Wars appropriate name. Mine's Tak by the way." His friend raised a brow and squinted. "As in thumb tack?" Tak swept his tongue across his teeth with his mouth closed in his annoyed way. "Has anyone ever told you, you should have been a comedian?" He turned to Catryona. "Where can I drop you off?" "You can take me anywhere you want," she replied, obviously flustered from the runaround, and yet her cheeks were rosy and her disposition was even more alluring to him. "I think I'll take that as an 'I would like to go home' answer," Tak said diplomatically as he took an exit back toward her cantina. "Where are we going... Tak?" "To the Jedi Temple, my friend. The Masters will no doubt want to take a look at you and fill you in on more details." -----signature----- In time or so I'm told, I'm just another soul for sale, oh well Feel it in my bones when you break my back, break it just to watch me bend Why'd you have to go and Let it Die? -Foo Fighters http://conscienceoftheking.blogspot.com/

	Ha ha - oh boy, this is a hoot. I love the concept - kudos, my friend. It seems Tak, or should I say Ja-, is still as good at getting into scrapes as always; and also I note his ability to charm the ladies hasn't changed. in the history of the Republic, all but five of the thousands of extra-galactic visitors had turned Sith, LOL Uh-oh. that Tak was different from most FrAGs - he had a brain in his head and was extremely compassionate as well. Are you sure he's from THIS galaxy? "Top 'o the mornin' to ya, Tak!" she called with that little lilt in her voice that made his heart sing. "Good morning to you too, Kathryn," he replied with a smile. "What'll you be having this mornin', cutie," she teased. Guinness, please. My goodness, angry mobs to the left of them and angry mobs to the right!! Only one way to go - through the middle. "It's not my fault," Tak whined as he pounded on the controls. "Why does this all seem so familiar?" his friend mused. Heh heh "I had to get you away from that crowd because they were going to kill you." "And you did it by throwing me out a window? Smooth, very smooth, I got to hand it to you." "Droll," Tak chided. "We're not going to die. Not unless the mob catches us.

	Tahi posted: I see you've been to the Eire system before. Aye begorrah and bejabas, shiver me shamrock, 'tis a wild system dat one. Looking forward to the old crusties in the council. LOL Yup, you've been there before, all right. Update happens... looks at watch Now! Someone's Coming (part 3) The Jedi Temple stood out against Coruscant's horizon. Proper and stately, it spoke in a cultured accent of a more civilized age of hope. Contrastingly, the rest of the skyline was decadent and cynical: born of greed and lust, it stank of commercialism and crass hedonism. "Can't we just go down there for a bit?" Tak's friend asked as they sped by a large group of shapely Twi'lek dancers performing in the street. "Nope," Tak replied curtly. "Have to get you into the Temple and away from the temptations out here." "Can't I have just a little temptation?" he begged. "No, it's too tempting," Tak replied again, just as the speeder disappeared into the shadowy recesses of the Temple's garage. "Oh, you're no fun anymore." ~~~~ The giant double doors slowly parted, revealing the Jedi Council in a full session. Tak stepped inside, arms tucked away beneath the sleeves of his robe. He was still a little awestruck whenever he was admitted into the presence of the venerable masters. Of course there was that time he snuck into the Council chambers late at night and put something underneath Master Odeon's chair that made a rude sound when he sat on it, but other than that it was all business within the Council chambers walls. "Master Tak, something to report, have you?" Odeon asked knowingly, still apparently aware of his former padawan's feelings through their ever fading bond. The diminutive master raised a furry brow in that all knowing way he used to do. Uh-oh, he still knows what I've been up to.* Tak cleared his throat, glancing down at the floor. "Yes, Masters. I have come upon a new recruit for the Temple." The Masters grumbled among themselves for a few moments, obviously flustered by Tak's brazen statement. Finally one of them, the hairiest and tallest of the bunch, glared at him and asked the question Tak was expecting. "And how can you be so certain this person has what it takes to be admitted to the Temple?" Clearing his throat again, Tak almost smirked before realizing that would not be the best thing to do. "He's like me, Masters." A well concerted grumble arose from the gathered once again, this time louder than the last. I just knew they wouldn't like that. They'll like what's next even less. Finally they settled down and bowed their heads to the inevitable. "Bring him before us," the Master desperately in need of a shave said. Tak didn't move, continuing to stare at a particularly interesting raven shaped stain on the tufted tile floor. Sitting forward, Odeon stared him down. "More, you have to say?" "Yes, Master." Tak took a deep breath, knowing his words would be met with much skepticism. "In a strange twist of the Force... this man comes from the same planet I do." "Know this for certain you do?" Odeon asked timidly, as if afraid of the answer. "I know him personally, Master. We were friends." This sent the entire council into a tizzy. Their voices filled the room with a tremendous noise, all in disbelief over what they were hearing. Tak gritted his teeth and found himself staring off through the pretty windows when he realized they were all looking at him. What do they want now? He winced visibly under their scrutiny. "Bring him before us," Odeon whispered over the din. Tak walked outside the chambers and over to his friend. "It's time." "You mean I got to go in there?" his friend asked reluctantly. "After all that fuss they made?" Tak nodded. "Oh no, not me - I'm no Jedi." "You will be, my friend," Tak responded carefully. "All FrAGs develop Force abilities. The Force has brought us here for a purpose and we can't exactly fulfill that purpose without a little help. That's why it's so important we get you in there and trained as a Jedi." "Well... I don't know. If they start in with the 'let the Force flow through you' stuff - I'm leaving!" "Fair enough," Tak said, extending his hand to pat his friend on the back. Inside with the Council, every gaze was piercing. They studied the new arrival with vim and vigor, and sometimes with both simultaneously. Tak hung back at the door and watched his friend being grilled, remembering what it felt like seventy years gone by when he was the subject of some steely - and some bloodshot - eyes. Odeon was the first to speak. "Know your feelings, we do. Afraid, you are. Afraid of our scrutiny." "Whatever gave you that idea," he shot back sarcastically, "just because I'm standing here wetting your well glazed floor." "Your attempts at humor will lead you toward the Dark Side," another Master chided. "You must be calm and respectful to all life." Uh-oh, Tak thought, wincing, if they start in with the 'Grasshopper' stuff too quickly, I think my friend is going to go through the roof. "Much emotion, much conflict, I sense within you." Odeon had a bit of melancholy in his voice. "Much like your friend, when first he arrived here. Overcome this, you must, or fall, you will." "The Sith will not hesitate to sink their claws within you," another Master, tall and stately said. "They will want you within their ranks. You will become powerful; they will want to use your naivete and emotion against you." "You are not ready," an Ithorian Master said, sadly shaking her head. "You do not heed our words." Stepping forward, Tak interjected himself on the conversation. "Now just hold on here; now, my friend may be impetuous, flighty, emotional and unused to taking anything seriously..." "You're a pal," his friend put in cynically. Tak grinned before continuing. "He may be all these things..." then trailing off, he exhaled deeply. "I forgot my point." "Yup, a real pal," his friend replied again, a tiny smirk on his face. "But he won't fall to the Dark Side," Tak spoke up again, remembering what he wanted to say. "I know him, and he's a good guy." "Well, that settles it, then," a Togruta Master grunted. "He's 'a good guy' according to the deft and obviously wise Master Tak. Our wisdom is nothing compared to him!" "Do you get the feeling he's being a bit sarcastic?" Tak whispered to his buddy. "Uh-huh." "Leave us now," the Ithorian replied. "We will meditate on the future and decide your friend's fate, Master Tak." Tak bowed and his friend did too before taking their leave from the Council chambers. -----signature----- In time or so I'm told, I'm just another soul for sale, oh well Feel it in my bones when you break my back, break it just to watch me bend Why'd you have to go and Let it Die? -Foo Fighters http://conscienceoftheking.blogspot.com/

	Loved the update. Tak and the other guy just bounce off eachother so well, and then the Jedi Sarcasm in the face of "this guy is good, he won't turn evil" was very very well done. Good post. -----signature----- "Say it with me now. Postcard. Zoo. Not. Shopping." master to jackyyy17, micky-nikki & Trimaj e-sis: BrightFeather & BrentusofGath http://www.randomkittengenerator.com/

	Oh I loved all the humor in this update. "He's 'a good guy' according to the deft and obviously wise Master Tak. Our wisdom is nothing compared to him!" Who knew the Council has senses of humor? "Can't I have just a little temptation?" Running from danger and he's asking a question like that? Men! Great update -----signature----- "Do or do not, there is no try."
