SWRPF Archive Knights Of the old Republic ~Against the Tide of War~

IC: Nerix Arrani

Narrix stood in front of the sith, her long blade pointed at the bridge of his nose and her shoto held in close for protection. She waited for the Sith to react. If he chose to try and fight she'd kill him without regret. If he chose to answer Gerrik's questions she would continue to help keep him subdued.

TAG: Gerrik, Sith, other Jedi.

 

IC: The Dark Jedi

The Dark Jedi looked at Darth Ravage. He smirked and teleported on top of the Transport. He took of his shirt revealing the new scars Garrik left when the teleported. The scarred man laughed gesturing at all the scars matching the new ones ?Matches all the Other?. ?You may know me as Revan. I want to meet with you face to face Life. Or I?ll blow this planet out of the face of the Galaxy.?

In seconds The Dark Jedi?s eyes glowed with a bright white light. His scars started to flow. Then the sith fell face first off the transport. Revan had taken over the body of this Dark Jedi and sent him here, and the Sith dies because he has no use for Revan.
Tag: None

IC: Life Glane

Life sighed and walked over to Gerrik and patted him on the shoulder. Then the Grandmaster walked inside the temple and prepared for the evacuation. He ordered all Master, and Knights to follow him into the conference room before he left the grounds.

Life took at seat at the head of the room and waited for the others.

IC: Arrix Natton

Arrix watched the sith land on the ground and ignite his lightsaber. He immediately jumped into action. He pulled out one if his blades and ignited it. The orange glow from the blade lit up his face. Instead of rushing forward to attack the sith; he rushed over to where the younglings where and ushered them back inside the temple.

just a short one. I will have more up later.

 

IC: Nerix Arrani

Nerix's lips lifted in a snarl of disappointment and disgust before she sighed and turned to follow the other Knights and Masters to the conference room where she sat somewhat near Master Life.

"Master, are we really going to run away?" She demanded. For all her experience in the field she was still more a warrior than some other Jedi, preffering to face her problems with head on attacks rather than wait for an enemy to attack so she could tire herself out defending.

 

IC: Gerrik Thade

"Revan makes no threats, if he said he will destroy this world he will." Gerrik said sternly to the others that Life had mustered into a council. "We must act quickly if we want any chance of survival." he added looking out to the sky, expecting any moment to see some devastating weapon to pierce the atmosphere. "If we are to evacuate we must first get the younglings off world. Then the contents of the archives and gardens, there are some things on this world that we cannot allow to be wiped out, we should at least bring back one of each plant or some of their seeds, but the archives must be emptied, we can't risk Revan getting his hands on, or destroying the more valuable artifacts." Gerrik said.

"I will personally gather the contents of the archives, I am probably one of the few here qualified to handle the more dangerous artifacts, especially those pertaining to the Sith. We should then have one Jedi go to the gardens and collect one of each, and have several more defend the transports and younglings." he added. "We must not allow the Sith to damage what we have done here." he said punching his fist into a wall. "Once everything is loaded I will take my fighter and help defend our fleet." he added regaining his composure. "That will give us time enough to get to the Core Worlds, to get to Coruscant. We should be able to find safety there." he continued. "Anyway, I'm off to get the archive items, call me when everyone is ready to depart." he said, and he was gone in a swirl of color as he ran off to gather all that could not be remade or replaced.

IC: Shin'aoba

Shin'aoba looked himself over in the mirror of his quarters. Robe in place? Check. Lekku properly wrapped? Check. Lightsaber? ... Lightsaber?

Frantically, he reached down at his belt, wondering how he had managed to misplace only the [i]single most important thing he owned[/i]. While, as per tradition, he had built it himself, the actual hilt had been a gift from his late master... The only gift left from his late master. If he had lost it now...

He glanced over at his desk, and sighed in relief as he noticed the familiar blade sitting on-top of some documents he had been browsing.

He strolled out of his quarters, visibly relaxed, down the hallway, past the conference room... Why was everyone in the conference room? Had he missed something important? [i]Again?[/i]

Quietly, he slipped in through the doorway to try to find out what was going on.

IC: Nerix Arrani

"I'm not saying that we shouldn't get the younglings and valuable artifacts off planet. But I do think that some of us should take the fight to the Sith. Simply running away won't do anything, we need to fight back!" Nerix argued, slamming one long-fingered hand down on the table in a frustrated gesture. If she were assigned to youngling duty she'd probably scream. She needed a fight, and it looke dlike she might not get one the way things were going. As usual.

TAG: Life, anyone.

 

IC:Ryshin Thraell

Ryhsin saw the Sith fall down, and deactivating his lightsaber. When Ryshin walked with the rest of the Jedi into the confrence room, he stood in a dark corner. When Gerrik Thade and Nerix Arrani voiced their opinions, Ryshin just stood and listened. Nodding at several things, Ryshin had to go with Gerrik. Suddenly Ryshin picked up something through the force. Turning to the dorr, Ryshin saw Shin'aoba slip in and decided to walk over to him. "So, Shin'aoba. How are you doing. What do you think our next move should be."

IC: Shin'aoba

" I am well, thank you," Shin'aoba began replying, before realizing something. [i]He had no idea what was going on[/i]. How was he supposed to know what to do next? He twiddled the tip of one of his lekku with his right hand. What to do, what to do...

His mind raced. What would his master have done in this situation?

[i]Remember, Shin'aoba, a Jedi is only dishonest when it is required for the greater good.[/i]

Drat. His master's teachings were never helpful when he [i]really[/i] needed them. Sighing, Shin'aoba turned his head to glance around the room.

"To be honest, Master Thraell, I am unaware of the nature of the current situation. If it's not too much trouble, do you think you could tell me?"

[b]TAG:[/b] Ryshin Thraell

 

IC:Ryshin Thraell

Ryshin smilled. "Well, we were just attacked by the Sith and Master Life has declared the evacutation of the Academy to get to Courscaunt. So were having a meeting to discuss our next move." Ryshin explained. "So, now that you know the situation, tell me what you thin we should do?"

Shin'aoba's dark eyes widened slightly. "Sith? [i]Here[/i]?" He regained his composure. [i]A Jedi is calm at all times[/i], he remembered. Granted, that was the single most difficult-to-follow piece of advice he had ever received, but it was the thought that counted, yes?

He twiddled with the lek some more. "I suppose evacuation is the most sound course. If one Sith has been here, surely others will follow. It would be tantamount to suicide to simply stay here and wait for them." He bit his lip slightly. "Albeit there could conceivably be an advantage in literally baiting them here..." He fidgeted again. "But then, they have the greater numbers, to be sure, and something called a 'Star whatsit'..."

He glanced around, and noticed something a bit peculiar about the meeting. Namely, the relative ranking with regards to his own. "By any chance, Master Thraell... Is this meeting not supposed to be open to Padawans...?"

IC: Catherine Jamison
Location: Ossus Jedi Temple

"Knight Jamison?" Looking for a wayward Jedi wasn't the normal task for a master on the Council. Then again, Lonna Vash knew that Catherine was no normal Jedi. That she was perhaps the most proficient with blasters among anyone else here, given her military background, was a trait unique in itself given that few in the Order could be classed as skilled. Catherine's personal history was the stuff of Jedi tales written by those who had no idea who they were, except everything from wandering the galaxy to falling pregnant with a Padawan was true.
Besides which... Lonna thought, seeing the Jedi Knight's door was open, Vash was the latest in a long line who tried to help her.
"Knight Vash, it's time." She peered in to see Catherine sitting with her back towards the door, her Jedi gown hanging over a nearby chair. Lonna came closer and saw that she was looking at a holocron, but the Knight sensed her presence and deactivated it.
"Catherine, please," she told Vash quietly. "Ranks and titles make my skin crawl." The Jedi Master gave her an odd look before turning her attention to the holocron. Catherine passed no comment about it and went to put on her Jedi robes. Curious, Lonna inspected the holocron and when Catherine didn't voice her objections activated it. She saw that it was of Catherine, as well as another Jedi and a baby boy. She guessed they were the Jedi she fell in love with and her son respectively.
Shiro Phoenix. His father was a Republic soldier, someone Lonna actually happened to know quite well.
"Why do people hate us?" Catherine asked quietly. She came over and took the holocron from Lonna's hands. "Jedi I mean." It was ground they had gone over before, in discussing why her son was taken, nonetheless Lonna thought and patiently tried to explain.
"Some in the galaxy fear us. Others simply do not understand." Catherine tightened the sash around her robes.
"You think they make any attempt to understand?" Lonna understood completely the way the Jedi were viewed after the Mandalorian Wars.
"Our actions can be hard for the galaxy to grasp."
"Or inactions." Vash began to understand the frustration other Jedi had with her. It wasn't that Catherine was unreasonable, quite the opposite, it was her constantly thinking of new angles on the same arguments she made before. "You want to go for a walk?" Not waiting for an answer Catherine used the Force to pull her lightsaber to the palm of her hand and slipped it under her robes as she slowly strode out. "We have no support," she continued, "our numbers are falling, maybe Revan and Malek were right to do what they did." Lonna sensed no anger coming from her, rather genuine confusion. "I supported the war you know."
"You didn't fight in the Mandalorian Wars though," Vash pointed out, falling in step with her.
"No, I wanted to stay with Shiro, with Rino. I encouraged everyone else to do what they thought was right though." Lonna didn't say anything, instead taking in her confession. "I don't know what Jedi it makes me, I wanted my son protected and knew Revan, Christy, they would have had that in mind."
"Christy," Lonna mused, thinking.
Malechor V should have been her grave." Vash immediately shut out the memory only to see Catherine looking at her.
"Who was that?" The Jedi Master realized she must have heard Atris' words as well. "Whose grave?" Lonna shook her head.
"Bad memory." Which was true, it was. "Forget it, the other Jedi are waiting for us."

IC: Life Glane/ Kukai

Life?s hands were together and his forehead on the tip of his hand. He looked up and had a serious look on his face. The Order had been destroyed before, along with countless Jedi that died at a grave not of their own; But to the cause of this catastrophe, Revan. The Grandmaster got to his feet and looked at every Jedi in the room.

?I hate to disappoint you Nerix, but we must evacuate as soon as possible. If I know Revan he?s already on his way. As Gerrix said Revan doesn?t make threats.? Life explained.

?We need all Younglings on a transport, and one Knight or master with them. Get the plants or some seeds from the plants. We must collect the data also. And then the Knights and Masters need to get on board. Then we need five to ten fighters protecting us. We can?t forget Anything! Nor can we come back. All of us need to work as one, this needs to go fast. Or everything we have worked for will be lost. In Coruscant the Jedi Temple, I as the Grandmaster will inform the Jedis already there that we will be arriving.?

?Revan?s might be in hyperspace already. We need to move quickly. Come on go, go go!? Life ordered as he ran over to the Intercom and switched on the emergency Alarm. The Grandmaster went to communicate with the Coruscant Jedi Temple. But was interrupted when Kukai came running down the hall.

?Kukai what?s wrong??
?I was looking on the radar and, enemy ships are already in range!?

?Damn, Everyone pack up, grab what you can, get everyone on all the ships we have. And we must get out now!? Life reordered turning around to everyone.

He turned to Kukai and told him ?Get the younglings onto ships.?
Kukai nodded and ran off.

IC:Ryshin Thraell

Ryshin looked at Shin'aoba in silence, before looking around the room. "You know Shin'aoba, I honestly don't know." Ryshin replied. When Life told us the plan, Ryshin looked at Shin'aoba. "Well, Shin'aoba. It looks like i'm needed else where." Ryshin said, before turning to Life. "Master Life, I shall be one of the fighter escorts." Ryshin announced before heading towards his starfighter.

OOC: Hmmm... typing "Shin'aoba" every time I write my character's name is getting a bit tedious... time to start going by his given name.

Shin stood, quietly musing over the fact that he might just have eluded being caught in a meeting he wasn't privy to. Granted, there was also the chance that he [i]was[/i] privy to it, making all this sense of accomplishment quite unfounded. Besides, a Jedi wasn't supposed to crave success in the first place. Shin sighed. He was going to be a Padawan until he became one with the Force at this rate.

It was about this time that the evacuation order was issued.

Shocked back into the present moment, Shin made his way back to his room and grabbed the few personal belongings he couldn't be without: His spare change of clothes and replacement lightsaber crystals. He tossed them in his traveling pouch, and headed for the doorway. He glanced around the room one last time. He'd only been here for a short while, and now he was never going to see it again. For all their plots of galactic conquest, the Sith sure did go out of their way to cause a lot of upheaval in Shin's life. He supposed he ought to have been flattered.

IC: Gerrik Thade

Gerrik reappeared in the main chamber of the temple a mass of things taking up a good third of the chamber, floating around him, his face contorted in focus, sweat dripping off of him as he carried nearly the entire contents of the Great Library. He then painstakingly sent them into the cargo hold of the nearest transport. he then fell down to his knees, breathing heavily, and clutching his chest. He then looked up at the sky only to see an incoming fleet of Sith ships. "Damn!" he shouted punching the ground leaving a small crater from the impact. 'Calm down Gerrik.' he thought to himself. 'Do not use that power, stay strong.' he added. He then took one last cleansing breath before getting up.

"Master Life, the archives are empty of all that which we cannont afford to loose, anything that can be duplicated or redone." he added. 'But nearly every single artifact, every recorded event, every record of anything is aboard that vessel, he added pointing ot the ship he just placed everything in. "Now, I'll get to my fighter, it shouldn't take me long to at the very least disable the enemy weapons' systems, I coordinate a defense with Ryshin." he added, proceeding to follow Ryshin to the hanger bay.

"Ryshin!" he shouted as he caught up. 'Our main objective must be to take out the enemy weapon systems, at least the major ones, the smaller guns aren't as important, our shields can hold them off long enough, but we have to take out those big ship to ship guns." he said as he got into his fighter. "Now let's get out htere and cut a nice hole for our transports to get through." he added as he punched the ignition button on his fighter, it then swooped swiftly out of the hanger and out toward the enemy fleet. "May the Force be with us all." he added as he began to blast apart the major guns of the enemy armada.

IC:Ryshin Thraell

Ryshin made no attempt in answering Gerrik until he called him. Turning around, Ryshin asked. "Knight Thade. I hear you shall be joining me." the Jedi Master said. Ryshin continued walking. "Knight Thade! I know how to take care of myself. You learn these kind of things from the Mandolorian Wars." Ryshin said. "Now, I've heard your plan, and yes. I think our shields could hold a while but we need to distract them from the transports." Ryshin said, sighing. Ryshin jumped in his starfighter and began lift off. "May the force be with you." Ryshin said at last before heading with Gerrik towards the enemy fleet.

IC: Arana Maru, Jedi Temple Hangar, Ossus

It was a no surprise that Arana stayed quiet, while listening to the convesation in the conference room. But when she heard that they had to leave before enemy fleet approached, she grew worried.

The young woman ran towards her room, grabbed all that she needed, even her lightsaber and a holographic picture of her Mom and Dad, and ran out the door.

Going to the Hangar, Arana started to pant, rushing towards an unused fighter. "Oh me, oh my, oh me, oh my!" The young woman said, panicking. Deep in her mind, she knew that she had to stay calm and protect the Transport until they all reached to the other Jedi Temple on Coruscant.

IC: Shin'aoba

Shin strolled down the hall at a slightly slowed, but leisurely, pace, which put him in stark contrast to everyone else: They were scurrying about at a frantic pace. Shin, on the other hand, was not quite as concerned about the evacuation. There were enough fighters for everyone not on a transport, after all, and his mind was busy running around on its usual insane tracks. The Sith, his old master, the evacuation, last night's meal, the other Padawans, the names of people he saw running by: It was all being processed, turned around, linked to other information, and so forth. To someone looking directly at Shin it would look like he was spacing out completely, his eyes were so unfocused.

Eventually, perhaps by accident, he made his way to the hanger. There was that one lady, another Padawan who's name he could never remember (Had he even learned it?), darting for a fighter in an incredibly flustered manner. There was Master Thraell, talking with Knight Thade about... something, to be sure. Shin wasn't nosy enough to try to figure out what. The younglings were being huddled onto transports, and somewhere in this chaos, he was sure, were the other Jedi.

Glancing to his left, he spotted an empty fighter, which he began casually strolling towards at the same pace he had used earlier. It was going to be a long day.

Nerix growled a little but stood.

"Alright, I'll join the fighter squads then." She said before she could be assigned to an even less desirable post. Then she took off, dashing gracefully into the halls and leaping into the cockpit of a fighter.

 

IC: Life Glane/ Kukai

Life looked at his apprentice after notifying the Jedi Temple on Coruscant of the situation and that we would be arriving. Kukai looked as if he was prepared for the situation, but the Grandmaster could feel that this young Padawan was afraid of what might happen. He put his hand on the young ones shoulder, and the Padawan smiled. Life smiled back [color=green]?It?ll be ok, get onto a transport.?[/color]

Kukai looked to the ground and flared his eyes back up [color=blue]?May the Force Be with You, master?[/color]. Life nodded and replied [color=green]?And with You, young one.?[/color]

Kukai dashed off going to his room that was near his Masters. If he was going to not coming back he would need to get his belongings. The Padawan was aware that he would have more than the other padawans, because of being apprentice to the Grandmaster of the Jedi. The young child packed his backpack, and travel sack; then attached his Lightsaber to his belt, put on his robe then the packs and sacks on and tightened them. Kukai then was on his way to the hangar to get on a transport. He saw all these Jedi risking their lives going to defend kids like himself. Maybe it was his sense or right, or maybe just plane Nerve. But this Padawan got into a cockpit of a Fighter, closed the hatch and took off. He saluted the Jedi looking up at him, and then blasted off. When he entered the sky several Sith fighters launch and shot what would have been Kukai?s death, but he twirled blocking them all then doing a sharp curve which scrapped the side of an enemy fighter. Then he shot and took out the three after him. Turning around and flying off Kukai never felt more alive.

Life had packed his stuff, after seeing Kukai run off to the hangar, unaware of his recent action. The Grandmaster went to the larger transport many Jedi piled onto and went to the deck after dropping his things off into a temporary room. All the transports with younglings had taken off and landed in the giant transport Life was on. The younglings ran to safety rooms, along with young padawans. Life went to the captain of this trip and patted him on the back and looked at him.

Jedi Council Memeber Ryshin Thraell passed by a Sith Captial Ship. Ryshin zoomed past enemy ships, with three enemy starfighters on his tail. "Blast, this is why I hate flying." Ryshin moaned as the Sith Fighters shot at him. Ryshin accelerated his speed and did an L turn before turning behidn the fighters and taking them out with his blaster fire. Ryshin turned on the comunication system. "Gerrik, Master Life? Just wondering, would you like me to take out the eng-" Ryshin was cut off as he instantly had to make twist and turns ot evade missle fire. "You know what, never mind. I won't last much longer out here. You ned to get the transports into hyperspace now." Ryshin said.

Shin stopped in his tracks as none other than Grandmaster Life's apprentice took the ship he had been walking towards. Yes, a very long day indeed, he smirked, sighing slightly. Turning a full about-face, he finally found a good fighter, and proceeded to strap himself in. "Okay," he thought aloud, "everything seems to be in order. Let's get to it."

Easing the throttle into position, Shin managed to take-off without a hitch, much to his relief, seeing as he'd only flown a few times before. "Now, pull back on the lever..."

The ship proceeded to head downward. Fast. "OTHER WAY!" he screamed as he reversed direction and shot up towards the atmosphere. "I'm going to get blown up..." he moaned, as he entered the fray.

"Shin, Ryshin, form up behind me, we're going to make a broad streak around their main ships. At this point we don't have time to take them out, we'll punch out a hole for our transports. Attack pattern delta, let's go." Gerrik said blasting apart those fighters that had been giving his friends trouble, then taking a position behind and between the other two as they made a sweep around. "Target the heavy turrets and particle cannons. Use lock on missles. Seismic charges if you have them." Gerrik added as he launched one of his own, blasting a hole in the hull of one of the enemy ships, sending shrapnel into a nearby Sith fighter. He then fired several missles at the heavy turrets of a good three other vessels, crippling them.

Life looked out into the sky as he heard Gerrik. Walking over to the Captain Life pointed to the fighters, and trying to map out a route. The Grandmaster usually is right at the moment, but today his mind is all over the place. The man couldn?t feel Kukai anywhere aboard the ship.

[color=green]?Let?s Jump for Hyperspace Captain??[/color] Life ordered looking at the Captain then going to a communication console.

[color=green]?Gerrik, Shin, Ryshin, and Nerix I need you to hold on a bit longer, before we jump dock onto the ship?[/color] The Grandmaster ordered then switching over to Gerrik and Ryshin.

[color=green]?Gerrik, Ryshin. Have you seen my Apprentice??[/color] Life questioned.

Kukai turned around after blowing up a few of the Big Turrets on the Sith Capitol Ship. He then saw another Jedi fighter and turned over so he could see into the cockpit of the other Jedi. The Padawan flew directly over Gerrik?s fighter and smiled to him, then flew off shooting at a few Sith fighters.
