And you are? (Treck)

[Kitty]

Kitty finished relaxing in her personal quarters after the hyperspace trip. [member="Treck"] a new assassin she had picked up while escaping Malif Cove was in the cockpit. Ferus had decided to make him her new apprentice which Kitty was not at all prepared for. The circumstances in which they met hadn't been very ideal and they exchanged few words. But now the danger had passed and Kitty had recovered from the hyperspace trip to Felacat. She decided to hang out with her parents until Ferus had them regroup and find a new home.

Wearing her usual dark purple tank top and blue shorts Kitty headed to the cockpit of her Phasma. Flopping into one her her chair and spinning it around to face Treck Kitty introduced herself. "Hey so that was crazy. So I guess you're suppose to be my apprentice now. I suppose we should start with introductions and tell each other a little bit about ourselves." Kitty said her tone betraying her nervousness a bit. "My name is Kitty an knight of the assassins. I have been with the assassins the majority of my life, Ferus picked me up when I was little and I've been with him every since. However you should know even though I grew up in the sith I am not like most sith. I am not going to be tolerating senseless killing or cruelty. That having been said this doesn't mean your training will be any less difficult than other acolytes." Kitty still wasn't use to the fact she wasn't an acolyte anymore and saying the word was a bit difficult. "In fact you may find my training to be more difficult since I'll be doing things a bit differently. So if you are still interested in becoming a sith assassin then go ahead and introduce yourself." That last bit Kitty said held no trace of nervousness and was completely serious.

Treck was holding a combat Knife in hand, twirling it around at a pretty rapid speed when Kitty entered the cockpit. He was breathing through some sort of mask, and even though he was in private he still had his hood on. He wasn't much of the talker, but in private he could talk all day long. His breathing was not that loud but it was audible, he responded to the woman sitting before him with a pretty straight answer to her comments, and demands. He didn't have any sort of defiance, he was loyal to whatever master he was assigned to. He spoke, his words echoing throughout the cockpit of the ship he was in.​

"My name is Treck. I was raised on the planet of Naboo with a strong connection to the force. I have only recently had training with Ferus, the Zabrak."​

"Killing isn't my duty, but it doesn't mean I won't do it when I need to. I don't carry Mercy with me, Mercy is not needed when in combat with your enemy."​

"So. Where are we....?"​

He looked out of the cockpit, seeming to have landed on the outskirts of a civilization populated by people that didn't look like Kitty at all... he wondered why this was, the planet /was/ named Felacat.​

[Kitty]

Kitty sighed aloud. She was glad he agreed but could tell there was some unforgiving sithyness in him. Course that might not be a bad thing. She didn't know if that was something that was just part of being sith or just extra cruelty. She would have to ask Ferus about it later. "This is Felacat, my home planet. Malif Cove was my home and now that it's gone this is all I have left. So until Ferus tells me otherwise this is where we'll be sleeping. With that Kitty lowered the ramp of the ship. He may have thought these were the outskirts because of the lack of buildings there was around but really it was just the backyard of the palace which was a very very large backyard. Kitty would have her apprentice follow her on her way to the back door. "Alright sooo what do you know of the sith and the assassins and what have you learned so far?" Kitty asked. She didn't notice any lightsaber on him so it seemed she got him as fresh as they come. She found it curios that he was just now getting training for his age. Then again the sith didn't steal children like the jedi did. She supposed he might actually not be any older than the average starting sith. It did seem like most sith were jedi before they became sith though so in that aspect she had something in common with [member="Treck"]. "And what do you know of the jedi and why do you want to be sith?" Kitty asked feeling stupid for not asking such important questions earlier.

 

[FN-2446]

Treck followed his new master to the back door of the place. He was then asked more questions, answering them each with patience. Accomplishing something took patience and time, something Treck had. ​

"I know the Sith are the Dark Side of the force and the side of the force that I can relate to." He then answered the second question that was asked "I know that the Sith assassins are somewhat Elite. And I believe they could teach me to be more quiet in situations that need Stealth." He then moved on to the next question. "I want to become a Sith because I can relate to them, I grew up as a trouble maker but don't cause as much trouble anymore. I can't relate to the Jedi because they can't relate to me. I do not enjoy the senseless killing of others, but I do enjoy the pain of those who deserve it to be distributed to them."​

Treck wasn't a Sith that kept calm easily, unlike Kitty. He twirled a combat knife in hand, seeming to be something he did when he had nothing else to do. ​

"Anything else, Master?"​

[member="Kitty"]​

 

[Kitty]

Kitty couldn't help but nod her head in approval. Hearing his reasons for joining the sith gave her hope hope that the sith could be something less evil and hope that this apprentice in particular could be trained differently, to still be sith but not like the other sith. The only doubts that were left now was her own ability to do so. She still didn't even know herself where the line was between the two. How the heck was she suppose to teach someone.

"Nope that is all for now. Now I need to make sure we have somewhere to sleep which means talking to my parents." With that Kitty headed towards the back door. It just so happened that the same guards she had met last time at front door where here guarding the back. As soon as they saw her they opened the door for her. "Oh what not going to stop me this time? Are they willing to adopt a Cathar now?" Kitty joked with the guards that had stood in her way last time.

Kitty made her way straight to the throne room just like last time and just like last time there were a whole bunch of soldiers waiting for her with their weapons trained on Kitty and her apprentice. "You know it pains me to say this but I think I had a warmer welcome last time." Kitty was able to say right before her apprentice walked into the room right after her. As soon as he did all the soldiers fired upon him. Reflexes kicked in and in an instant Kitty jumped in front of [member="Treck"] her lightsabers ablaze. There were too many to reflect them back at her attackers and she would of if she could but there were soo many she could only barely keep them all at bay and that's with the assistance of force speed not to mention it was only the first volley Kitty couldn't deflect the combined sustained fire. Luckily the King and Queen both jumped off their thrones yelled at the soldiers to stop nearly jumping off their nearly running in the way of fire themselves waving their arms. "What the sith was that!?" Kitty yelled angrily at her parents while holding her defensive stance. "We told you last time you were here that Ferus wasn't allowed on this planet again. We aren't going to let him walk in here." The queen said motioning to Treck. Kitty looked at her apprentice and then back at her parents. "This isn't Ferus this is my apprentice. Maybe you should look first and shoot later!" Kitty yelled again. "Maybe he shouldn't wear a mask." The king defended his actions. Kitty didn't really have anything to say about that. "So what you planned on trying to kill my master?" Kitty asked putting extra emphasis on the trying part. "He slaughtered our guards and almost us!" "And we still haven't finished cleaning up that blood bath." the queen added in after her mate. Kitty supposed that made sense.

The queen and king sat back down on their thrones and waved for the soldiers to leave. "You can put your weapons down now." The queen said after the last soldier had left the throne room. "I don't know can I?" Kitty asked still angry. She would have never been able to live with herself if she had let something happen to her new apprentice. Kitty sheathed her lightsabers back on her hips and turned to leave the room. "Come on." Kitty said to her apprentice leading him to the guest quarters. Once there she sat down on one of the super comfy couches and let out a deep sigh. "Are you alright?" she asked Treck.

 

[FN-2446]

Treck entered the palace, looking around to see all the soldiers and the throne. His looking around was interrupted by blaster fire, he immediately drew his assault rifle, taking aim, ready to fire. He almost fired, but then his master, Kitty, jumped in the way of his rifle. As a reflex, Treck would have stopped to not shoot his Master, if he did that, he'd never hear the end of it. He lowered his rifle as the soldiers stopped firing on him. He was then led to the guest quarters, sitting down on a Couch in front of Kitty. He let out a deep sigh as well.​

"I'm fine. I didn't expect blaster fire from a whole Batallion of soldiers for wearing a mask, though."​

No one really knew why he wore the mask and hood, people thought it was Ferus, which he was much taller than. The Mask had Oriental carving and paint going along side it, and a single bar for the wearer to view.​

[Kitty]

"That's good. If you don't want to stay here I can understand why and we can find someplace else." Kitty said concerned for her new apprentice. So much has happened. Though if she thought about it it was probably effecting her far more than it was effecting him. He had only just arrived.

Depending on his answer she would either head back to the ship or continue learning about her new apprentice. Assuming he chose to stay she would go on to ask if he knew the sith code but wouldn't give him a chance to answer before reciting it. "Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The force shall set me free. Now I want you to say each of those lines back to me and tell me what they mean to you. I don't want to know what the sith think it means, I already know that. I want to know what you personally think it means." Kitty said to [member="Treck"].

 

[FN-2446]

Treck looked up to his new Master as she asked if he wanted to stay. He answered her very politely, saying no was a thing that Treck didn't really do. ​

"Of course I'll stay. I'll stay in any environment and home I can get. Hell, I'll even live in a swamp if it was suitable."​

His master then began to recite the Sith code, Treck was asked to say what he thought each line meant. And recite the Sith code back to her.​

"Peace is a lie, there is only Passion."​

"I believe this means that you do not need Peace, you need Passion to make you succesful."​

"Through Passion, I gain strength."​

"This means that if you have Passion, you can become stronger."​

"Through strength, I gain power."​

"If you have strength, you become more powerful."​

"Through power, I gain Victory."​

"If you become powerful enough, you will become Victorious." ​

"Through Victory, my chains are broken."​

"If you succeed, you are set free."​

"The Force shall set me free."​

"The force gives you all of these abilities and things. The force will set you free."​

Treck looked up at Kitty, awaiting her verdict on what she had told him.​

[member="Kitty"]​

 

[Kitty]

Kitty could see Treck had much to learn. The young feline wouldn't give any hint that she disliked or liked his answer. The only thing she would let him know is that she accepted it. In time when circumstances were right he would give true meaning to the code. Besides that she had nothing more to say. For some reason Kitty was feeling really ill all of a sudden and her brain was trying to shut down on her. All she wanted to do was relax.

Unfortunately the queen decided to come in and further disturb her. Whatever she was going to say was cut short when the queen pointed at Kitty and asked "What is that on your fingers?" Kitty held her hands up and saw the tips of her finger soaked and dripping with a menacing colored liquid. It took her a moment to realize what it was. She must have accidentally squeezed her venom sacks. Kitty got up real quick to wash the venom dripping from her fingers. She was feeling dizzy and was having a little hard time breath. Her body had yet to build up an immunity to her own venom. It had done so enough that she couldn't kill herself with it at least. "What's wrong Koneko?" The queen asked Kitty. "I kinda poisoned myself." Kitty replied too dazed to yell at her mother for using her old name. The queen escorted Kitty to her old room to lay down and rest. Her old room had been re-renovated for when she came to visit and was far more luxurious than her personal quarters on her ship. Perks of being a princess. [member="Treck"] was told he could do anything he wanted while Kitty recovered and that if he needed anything to just ask one of the servants.

 

[FN-2446]

Treck went back to the ship along with his master, he sat in the cockpit. He had nothing to really do, he twirled his combat knife around. Treck would not abandon his master, just in case anything happened. He had this weird sense that whenever someone in charge of him needed to heal, he wouldn't separate himself from them. He waited for his master to heal, beginning to recite the Sith Code to himself over and over again. Thinking of what it really meant.​

"Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain Victory. Through Victory, my chains are broken."​

"The force shall set me free."​

With his master reciting the sith code, Treck decided to memorize it, and become more familiar with it. It wasn't like he had anything else to do on a planet he had never even heard of before. So he decided to continue this until his master regained her strength.​

[member="Kitty"]​

 

[Kitty]

While her mother wanted her to rest Kitty knew she shouldn't. The young sith remembered what her master had said. If she went to sleep while the venom was bothering her while her body was building an immunity to it, she would die. The pain was beginning to kick in now and ever muscle started to feel like they were a flame beneath her skin. Her mother the queen wanted to give her anti venom but Kitty refused to tell her what anti venom she needed. Her body needed to build an immunity to it without outside help or else she'll have to live the rest of her life with anti venom at her side at all times. The pain made her more tired and made her want to go to sleep and escape from the pain with sweet unconscious. Instead of focusing on falling asleep though Kitty instead focused on the force using the pain to help her focused on using the force to keep her awake. She ended up staying awake all morning.

In the morning Kitty was feeling much better. Thought she didn't get any sleep which meant she was going to be much more susceptible to stress as well as be irritable. Getting up and getting ready Kitty looked for her apprentice. He was no longer in the guest room or in the palace at all. She decided to check the ship and sure enough she found him asleep in the cockpit. "You know the bed in the guest room would have been far more comfortable." Kitty said her tone not quite as kind as it was yesterday. [member="Treck"]

 

[FN-2446]

Treck would have been asleep in the landed Phasma's cockpit. He was awoken by the sharp voice of his Master, telling him it would be better to sleep in the guest room of her palace.​

Treck looked around the cockpit, seeming to not know where he was, he was used to living in his home in a forest, he placed his hand on the area where the forehead would be protected on his mask. Treck then gathered his senses, looking up to Kitty, his new master that he had just acquired the day before.​

"I wanted to sleep here... I don't feel like I should sleep in a Palace that doesn't belong to me. After I was attacked. But that's behind me now."​

He answered, hoping not to be punished in some sort of way by Kitty, and if he was, he could be poisoned or something.​

[member="Kitty"]​

 

[Kitty]

Kitty could understand how he felt. If she were in his situation she would have felt the same way. "Well luckily we won't be in the palace for the first stage of your training." Kitty said heading out of the ship and expecting him to follow. "The one thing the sith and jedi have in common is the force. The main difference by principle is that the jedi chose to ignore the dark side of the force and even call it evil. The dark side of the force isn't necessarily evil though a misconception I believe is partially contributed by it's name. The dark side of the force is drawn upon by emotions. Most sith use anger and hate since those are emotions they tend to feel most strongly, but any emotion can be used. In fact I highly discourage using anger and hate to call upon the dark side. The sith in general tend to train themselves so that they hate everything and are always angry to make themselves stronger, but that is no way to live. The purpose of the sith way is to set yourself free and they are just binding themselves down with more chains. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. This is true with the dark side as well. The truth is it is more powerful, but it is also more dangerous. Do not rely so much upon the dark side that it corrupts your mind and body. One of the first signs of knowing when it is corrupting you is when your eyes turn yellow. This alone isn't harmful but it serves as a warning sign. Unfortunately for me my eyes are naturally yellow so I don't really have a way of gauging when I am going too far." Kitty would lecture him.

Eventually they would reach the city and they would receive many suspicious looks. It wasn't very often people visited Felacat so they weren't use to seeing any species other than there own and for the most part they didn't recognize Kitty as one of them.

Kitty didn't know force jump but she was a feline so she could get up anywhere she needed to just fine without it. Jumping on top of a random roof Kitty beckoned [member="Treck"] to follow. Once he found a way up she would continue with her lecture. "Alright I want you to sit down and ignore what you see, hear, smell, and feel. The first thing you need to learn is how to sense the force. Eventually when you become adept enough at it it'll be like a sixth sense and you'll be able to use it just as naturally as you use your ears to hear. As you focus the first thing you may notice is well probably going to be my force signature right away but byond that the first thing you notice with be a few of those people walking around. Those that you sense will be the force sensitive ones the ones that have a stronger connection to the force than most. They are the ones that could become jedi or sith one day but more than likely they'll continue their life without ever knowing." Kitty said. She would then wait for Treck to get a hang of it before she continued.

 

[FN-2446]

Treck was led out of the Phasma by his master. He followed her all the way to the top of a building, eventually he reached the top, and sat down as he was told to do.​

He was told to make a connection to the force, clearing his mind, and ignoring everything around him. It was like he had cut off his senses. This was the first true sign that he had a strong connection with the force. He sensed alot of force sensitive people, but the first thing he sensed was the /strong/ Connection to the force of his Master. It was as if he had some sort of sense with anyone that was force Sensitive. ​

He asnwered to his master as this happened to him. "I can feel them. The force users, the ones strong with the force.​

[member="Kitty"]​

 

[Kitty]

"Good now this next part is going to be much more difficult. Now I want you to look past those that are sensitive to the force and I want you to be able to sense the life forms who don't have a naturally strong connection. Focus only on a small area. Once you can sense the force itself in that small area try broadening your perspective to cover a larger area." Kitty instructed [member="Treck"]

 

[FN-2446]

Treck had successfully completed one of the steps that his master had instructed to him. He then tried to do what his Master said, look past those that are force sensitive and find the ones that don't have a strong connection to the force.​

This would probably be hard because the ones that had a strong connection to the force, Treck could sense easily. He then tried to clear out those that had a strong connection, looking for the ones with weak connections to the force. This would be harder, more of a challenge, but Treck liked a good challenge. Treck blocked out the strongly connected ones like he did with his senses. He then reached out to those around him that did not have the strong connection. They all came one by one, small pins in the force. He seemed to sound very satisfied as his breathing had calmed itself, it was hard, but he did it.​

[member="Kitty"]
"I did it."
​

 

[Kitty]

As [member="Treck"] trained Kitty thought about ways she could train herself. She supposed she could ask her parents to barrow a few soldiers from them. Her force skills were still lacking and there was one in particular that could prove very useful to her.

Treck announced he had achieved it his goal. "Good, the force is the foundation from which we draw our power upon so it's very important you make yourself as familiar as you can in sensing it. I want you to try and continue expanding your perspective and when you can't go any further I want you to open one of your senses up and try to focus both on the information you receive with that sense weather it be sight or sound and the force at the same time. Find out how far you can perceive. It's going to be smaller than when you were just focusing on the force and you are going to be discouraged by how little you can do. This isn't something you can learn in one day though. This is something you are always practicing. Once you find your limit with that, open up another sense. To start things off I would suggest opening up your nose once you get to that point. Since from what I have experienced most races have some pretty crappy noses, so it shouldn't be too overwhelming." Kitty said before jumping off the roof and making her way back to the palace.

The first place Kitty checked for her parents was the throne room and again they were there talking to some advisers. Kitty cleared her throat to attract their attention. "What is is sweets?" Her father asked her. "Mind if I barrow a few soldiers from you?" Kitty answered with a question. "Not if you plan on killing them." Was his answer. "I'm not going to kill them." Kitty assured her father. With that he shouted some orders and had 3 soldiers assigned to Kitty, which was perfect for her.

Heading into the backyard near her ship Kitty ordered the 3 to fire on her. The soldiers only looked at her dumb founded. "Don't worry you couldn't hurt me if you wanted to." She assured them before igniting her two lightsabers to prove a point. Still they hesitantly raised their weapons to her. Kitty let out a deep sigh. "Would it make you feel more comfortable if I put my armor on?" Kitty asked them in her talking to a toddler voice. They just gave a slow nod. "Babies." Kitty said walking up the ramp to her ship and taking a bit to put her black armor on. When she came back down the only part of her the soldiers could recognize were the ears sticking out the top of the hood. "There now you really can't hurt me." to prove her point Kitty used the force to point one of the soldiers pistols at her and fire it. The momentum of the shot threw her shoulder back a bit where it hit but otherwise she was unscathed. "See hardly even a scratch." Finally they seemed confident enough to start firing upon her. 3 was plenty for Kitty to handle. She could bounce back every shot at her back at them in an instant and kill them if she wanted to. Instead though she deflected the shots away and to make sure she was still using brain power to aim she aimed the shots away from the ship. Kitty used the force to slow down her perception of time and speed up her movements. In addition to practicing with this force technique, Kitty also practiced dodging the pistol shots when she could.
