"I'm sorry, sir. I misstated when I said the council said so. They've never actually directly stated that. But I'm sure they all think so...."
[BTW: Crystorix really does not have any self-confidence, a bad trait for a jedi.]

Anakin stopped and turned to Crystorix.
"Crystorix, you need to hold your head high. You will be a Jedi Knight."
Crystorix hung his head. "No I won't. They all hate me. I will never..."
Anakin grabbed his shoulders and shook him. "Stop that, Crys."
Crystorix looked up at Anakin.
"You WILL be a Jedi."
"I..."
"You WILL, Crys."
---------------------------------------------
Anakin stood in front of the Jedi Council, holding Crystorix's shoulders in front of him.
Anakin cleared his throat, then spoke.
"I have been notified that Crystorix here is not to be trained. I demand a reason why."
Yoda sighed. "Too old, he is."
Master Windu jumped in. "No Jedi Master or even Knight is willing to take him on."
Crystorix sighed. 'I'm not good enough, no wonder. They all hate me..,'
Anakin tightened his hand on the boy's shoulder reassuringly.
"Masters, if I may suggest that the boy may be trained..."
"That permission has been granted already, Knight Southring."
Anakin sighed. "Well..."
Crystorix sighed again.
"I will train him then."
The Council looked up at Anakin. Crystorix looked astonished.
"I take Crystorix as my Padawan Learner."

Since noone seems to care about this thread one ounce, I am hereby retiring from this. Obviously you all can't keep up, so I see no point in me writing for everyone else.
May the Force Be With You All

"Crystorix, could you please wait outside for a moment?"
After the young boy had stepped outside, Yoda began. "Certain of this, are you?"
"Yes Master. He deserves to be given a chance."
"How long have you known Crystorix?" the Eeteasian master, Free-Nas croaked.
"Why, I just met him, but..."
"The choice of a Padawan should not made lightly nor be based on pity, Southring," Mace Windu said. "There is a reason that no Knight has taken him. He's a good boy, and capable, but he does not believe in that capability."
"If his confidence failed him in a difficult situation and caused him to hesitate, it could cost both him and his Master their lives." Adi Gallia added.
"A favor doing him, you are not." Yoda said.
Anakin was incensed. "Self-confidence can be built up. What would it do to this boys newly rebuilt selfesteem if I walked out right now and told him I changed my mind? Each rejection that he has gone through brought him further down, which caused him to be rejected again. Its a vicious circle, and there's only one way to break that circle."
Master Ki-Adi-Mundi spoke up quietly. "Anakin, I'm sure you know as well as anybody what happened when Obi-Wan insisted that he take a young boy as a Padawan when we thought it was a bad idea." Anakin grew red.
"I still stand by my...."
Mace Windu interrupted. "All we ask is that you hold off your final decision until you get to know the boy better. All discussion of pity and self-confidence aside, no Jedi should take an initiate as their Padawan having just met them. Crystorix still has..." He looked at Yoda, who was in charge of the older initiates.
"...two weeks..." Yoda said.
"Two weeks until his thirteenth birthday. If at that time, you still want the boy to be your Padawan, we'll not refuse you. Is that satisfactory?"
"I guess it'll have to be," Anakin replied.

Don't look at me, Ani. I'm here every day, but Veetee is a minor charactor and I'm waiting for the right time to play off someone else.

The silent Defel stalked through the Temple, using the Force to help hide himself, keeping an eye on Crystorix.
'This one might be of use.' the Defel thought to himself. 'I will have to speak with him. But he must be alone. Perhaps tonight. Yes. I will follow into his quarters and speak to him tonight.'
The Defel followed the Jedi child, thinking of what he could potentially accomplish, if the idea worked.
*yes, I'd decided Defel is Force sensitive. It will help amid the Jedi of the Temple.*

Ok... I won't leave... BTW, Anakin is about 21, a pretty young Jedi Knight. Although he is overconfident sometimes, he has a good sense of humor and has taken a liking to kids and animals. Although, he can be extremely serious at times, and he is very adapt and graceful with his lightsaber. Just FYI :-)
---------------------------------------------
Anakin stepped out to where Crystorix was.
"Anakin, sir, you didn't have to..."
"Yes I did." Anakin rebutted him. "Now listen, Crys. I can't take you as my Padawan right away. They said I should get to know you better."
Crystorix nodded, hanging his head.
Anakin smiled. "So, Crys, what games do you like to play?"

*inside a large dark palace on Coruscant*
---------------------------------------------
Repyh stared down at a man named Sabb, who was only a human, but mistakes of any magnitude were not to be accepted. "I told you to watch out for Alex," he said, voice briming with anger at the thought of losing his best "agent". "I....am sorry, master," said Sabb, sounding as apologetic as he could, even if he didn't mean it. "Since you failed to assist Alex on his mission, you are in deep with the forces that are above me, they want you dead," said Repyh, solemnly. "Oh" said Sabb. What else was there to say? "But," continued Repyh, "I will give you a second chance, if you bring the boy before me, I can spare your life, don't fail this time." Sabb felt a flicker of hope go through him, "I will not, master," he said, suppressing a smile, "I will not." Repyh gazed down at him, "Than go, and do not return unless you have Crystorix!"
With that, Sabb left the chamber, walking briskly for his ship. This time, he thought....

juh!
I really think this thread is cool, but no one's reading it, so I'm bumping it back to the first page in hopes of it gaining some notice

**oooh, I wonder what's so important about me***
*******************
Crystorix listed off several games which was common for boys his age to like, many of them watersports, then added, "I also really enjoy practicing with lightsabers."
Anakin's brow raised a little. "Well, that might be a good place to start. Let's go practice."
Anakin and Crystorix went to the practice rooms. Anakin expected to have to really hold back, but was heavily surprised. Though the boy was inexperienced, he managed to get in under the radar a few times. He was a virtuoso, though no match for a fully trained Jedi. With a bit of training and experience, however, Crystorix could be one of the best swordsmen in the Knighthood. And this boy was doubting himself?
"Crystorix, you are beyond a doubt the best lightsaber user I've met in terms of pure talent."
Crystorix blushed. "You're just saying..."
"Crystorix!" Anakin snapped. The boy looked up. "Number One. I never want to hear you talking down about yourself again. If you stop saying it, maybe you'll stop thinking it."
"Number Two. The Council, all Masters and full-fledged Knights and your teachers are all wiser than you are. It's not a criticism, you're just young. Thus believe them when they deliver a compliment."
"Number Three. Don't let yourself be affected by criticism. The purpose of it is to instruct yourself in how you need to better yourself, not hurt you. Now I say again, you are a very talented lightsaber wielder."
Crystorix saw that Anakin was expecting an answer. "Thank you, Anakin sir."
*********************************************
Tahl, the blind Jedi who has been in charge of temple security for over twenty years, stood in the room where the intruder pretended to still be unconscious.
"Such a pretense is an obvious waste of time when dealing with the Jedi," she said softly.
Alex opened his eyes and glared daggers at her. His attempt to stare down the blind jedi was obviously doomed to failure. Indeed, her sightless eyes staring through him disconcerted him.
"How did you get into the temple? What did you want with the boy?"
Alex just stared at her, and tested his restraints.
"They are very secure, do not trouble yourself there. And if you did break through them, I am more than capable of dealing with you, in spite of what you might think. What did you want with the boy?"
Alex sat silently for several more minutes.
"I can wait as long as you can."
Alex sneered. "I have nothing to fear from you. Torture isn't the Jedi way."
Tahl smiled nastily. She could have another Jedi down here in an instant to pull the answers from his mind, but she liked the old-fashioned way. "You've obviously never been a Jedi, so you have no idea what truly is and isn't the 'Jedi way'" she said dangerously.
In spite of himself, Alex shivered.

The Defel watched the boy duel with the knight, seeing that he truely was as powerful as he had thought. But, if that knight took him on, things would not be good for the Defel.
The Defel 'takes a sample' of Crystorix's Living Force, so he would be able to find the boy, and hurries off to a secluded place in the Temple.
The Defel pulls a transmitter out from a bag made of his own fur that laid on the floor in his secret dwellingplace and activates it.
"Yes?" a deep voice answered before long.
"Sir, while going about my mission, I discovered a special boy. He is powerful, but has low self-esteem. If I could get to him, he will be of use to you, I think." the Defel whispered into the transmitter.
"Good work, Redalist. Proceed."
"One other thing, Sir."
"Yes?"
"His name is Crystorix."
"Ah. Yes. An omen. Be cautious, Redalist."
"Yes, Sir."
Redalist turned off the transmitter and placed it back into the bag, an evil grin coming across his lips.
*I figured it was about time I named my spy*

Sabb was walking through the underground cities of Coruscant, on his way to the Temple. He had retrieved what he needed from his ship, and got out of the Palace as quickly as possible. As long as there was someone in there who wanted him dead, it was no place he wanted to spend much time in.
As he walked, many thoughts were dancing around in his mind. Why did the high-ups in the inner circle of the Organization want some un-known boy from the Temple? Where did this order to "watch out" for Alex come from? He had never heard it before....
As he was contemplating this, he realized that he was drawing near to the Temple. He came to the surface of the great city-planet and made his way to the great structure...

Anakin stepped back and retracted his lightsaber.
"Geez, Crys, you're good."
Crys smiled.
"And I'm exahusted. And hungry. Want to get some lunch?"
Crystorix nodded and they headed for the cafeteria. On the way there Anakin glanced curiously at Crystorix's lightsaber.
"So, did you make that? I mean, you haven't been a Padawan yet. Is it another Jedi's? A parent's? Siblings?"
Crystorix just glanced at him.
"Sorry, I'm kind of talkative now aren't I? Ok, I'll shut up."

Crystorix looks down at the saber.
"Oops!" He hurries to go back and put the saber back in the practice saber racks.

Anakin ran after Crystorix.
"Crys, don't go alone!"
'I have a bad feeling about this.' He thought to himself as he ran.
