Her back curled upward as Thurion's hand gently glided up her body. Coci's head turned sideways as she hand caressed her skin. "A distraction", she answer with the playful smile, in answer to his question. In fact she had not found anything as yet.

She let out a long breath more in frustration but also to removed some tension created by Thurion's presence. However, it did not work. Coci moved behind him, lifted up his loose shirt at the back, and raised it high to his broad shoulders. She could see the bruises, purple, blue and black. "Now let me look at your back".

Coci gently placed one hand in the middle of the back, only a small amount of pressure applied, but the force gather in her and through her arms and hands, she gave energy and healing to the wounds once more. The pain would lessen somewhat more. Once she had finished however, her hand dropped to the back of his trousers as did her eyes, and she liked what she saw, she not the only one with curves. Her hand moved from his back to his waist and around to his front, stopped it's journey just below his belly button. Her finger tips danced lightly on the soft tender flesh, playing among the tiny hairs as they encircled his belly button. As she remain in her position behind him, he would not see her broad smile.

She turned to the side and saw the raised platform on which the hammer was presented. However, her attention was caught by the wall directly behind it. Something glistening purple with the light from her saber. She stopped her teasing and removed her hand.

"Thurion ... there", she said point to the wall. They had missed for many reasons probably, but mainly due to the lack of light.

Jeela looked over to the Master as she entered and shrugged slowly, "I was attempting to get onto the planet without a Ranger escort for a solo expedition. I simply do not have the launch codes to fly myself down." She frowned. That was something she might need to remedy. A few years hitchhiking from place to place, and one would think she had learned to get past access codes. Nope. She had not, and it was something she had regretted on more than once occasion. "Nor could I really follow others when I did not know where they were going."

 

[Matsu Ike]

Matsu was enjoying the few shops, with the information for the place to be built she was spending the time with the people working on her place. On her desires and everything that Hanna would love, that they could build into a home while she milled about. The large over sized bed proving a major point in selling the dream so they would have a large bed to spend their time on. She recalled how long they spent in her apartment and room. The rest well a large estate bought with durindfire crystals and under a false name protected by the people of Shri-tal. They loved people adding to their economy. "Thank you." She got the wood and stone, the glass and transparasteel with furniture.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

When she moved behind him, he felt her tugging and pulling at his shirt until his back exposed to her touch once more. He did nothing to stop her, and instead placed both palms against the cave wall to lean against while she worked. At first it stung, sending shivers through his entirety. Not pain, just discomfort. The bruises had healed magnificantly all things considered, but he was far from fully recovered. "I'd like to have a look at more than your back..." he spoke into her mind telepathically, not really daring to say it out loud. Her hands then trailed downwards to the hem of his trousers, then to his front below his belly button. This sent him shivers of a different nature as he relished her sensual touch.

As she stopped to turn her attention to the platform, he felt an urge to repay her kindness. Now behind her, he moved up close to her backside and put his arms around her snug form. His hands were allowed free reins as they swept along her front all the way between her neck down to below her waistline. What started as caresses turned into gentle squeezes, grabbing handfuls of her flesh like a sculptor working his clay. Truth be told, he had very little interest in the Taung at the moment. His mind was swept up in other thoughts...

[Connor Harrison]

Taung sa rang broka Mando'ade ka'rta.
Dha Werda Verda a'den tratu,
Manda'yaim kandosii adu.
Duum motir ca'tra nau tracinya.
Gra'tua cuun hett su dralshy'a.

The ash of the Taung beats strong within the Mandalorians' heart.
We are the rage of The Warriors of the Shadow,
The first noble sons of Mandalore.
Let all those who stand before us light the night sky in flame.
Our vengeance burns brighter still.

Connor’s mind was still his own, but his free-will, his body and soul now belonged to the spirit of the female Taung warrior that fused with his strong Force energy the second his palm touched the hammer. His emotional core was exploited, leaving the spirt of the evil warrior to possess his thoughts and body – the hammer acting as a conduit between him and the Taung.

As the Ranger came up behind him, Connor pushed up from his knee and the power of the Taung swung the hammer around quicker than the Ranger could prepare for and it smashed into his helmet, a sickening crunch of bone and shattering of glass followed as he dropped backwards, dead and lifeless.

Eyes turning a ghostly blue, but still retaining a humane look, Connor knew very well what had happened, but there was nothing he could do to stop it. The Taung was now in control and already eating away at his very humanity.

”Sarge? Master Harrison?”

The next solider came up to the stairs into the control room, and the second his eyes saw his dead colleague, he moved to activate him comlink but Connor threw the hammer with the Force with deadly precision and it struck the soldier in the chest, knocking him off his feet and breaking his ribs and internal organs.

The broken breaths of the dying soldier were the only sounds as Connor cast his eyes over the control panels before him. Calling back the hammer, speckled with crimson blood, the possessed Jedi placed it on the control panel and a pulse of energy emitted from the head and seemed to send a shockwave across the observation room. Monitors, displays and buttons started to spring into life, throwing up coordinates and read-outs from the observation tower, holo-maps and small chimes and beeps from the panels.

Paying it no attention, Connor held onto the hammer and made his way back down the stairs into the corridor leading outside. Latching onto his subconscious memory, the Taung spirit made sure Connor took his oxygen mask as he left the facility and headed back down the cliff towards the shuttle.

”Ranger.” Connor spoke, slightly less emotive than usual, but still it was his voice. ”Signal the Silver Jedi that the observation tower is operative but requires further work and exploration of the moon. I need to find the others. Collate their location. All of them.”

He looked down at the hammer. The Taung would soon finish their war against humanity, and Connor was one of the few who would now instigate it in the galaxy.

Her body reacted to his touch, a heat of passion burned through her blood and every part of her wanted him more. She could not believe how someone could make her feel this way, yes she had loved before, but nothing as majestic as this. He made her feel .. beautiful.

A smile crossed her face as she received his message telepathically to which she replied by opening up her force aura to him. It would allow him to feel everything, all her emotions and desires for him. Up until now, Coci remain closed, a natural ability in a way, but one she employs to remain 'cloaked' to everyone. A wall? yes, to not allow people close to her and a form of self preservation. However, nothing would remain hidden from him.

The thoughts of the mission equally gone, as it was for Thurion. And she wondered what she tell Master E'ron when the time came for a report. However, she had actually thought upon this and decided that this discovery was bigger then first thought. It would require the Silver Shadows, as a team to return and investigate. That would be her report.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

He spun her around to face him, their fronts brushing up against eachother. Again his lips found hers, barraging her with a burning passion fueled by his Valkyri heritage. Hands around her back, squeezing and caressing her everywhere as he backed her into a corner, pressing her up against the wall. He hoisted her up until both her feet left the ground, allowing her to lock them into place behind him. His lips now explored her front, wandering from her lips to her cheek, her neck, and downwards. "I think... we're... done here..." he spoke in between kisses. "I want you. I crave you", he admitted, the last bastion of whatever shame or pride had lingered now gone.

She could fight desire no longer. And she could sense from him his will and so as the mission now very much forgotten. She relented. Her mouth searched for him across his face as he placed her against the wall of the cave.

And so Thurion and Coci spent the rest of the day and into the night locked in loves embrace.

 

[Aika Kawakami]

The engines roared to life as the ramp closed, Aika's eyes turning toward the cockpit."We're out of here." The captain's voice came through loud and clear as she took the seat directly across from Jeela. The shuttle lifted from the hangar before streaming through skies. True, they have have been behind the others, but being late simply meant thy could make an entrance. And eager she was to see what made Shri-Tal so special.


One leg crossing over the other, Aika's gaze remained on the girl who she seemed to always run into. In so many ways, it reminded her of how things went as she trained as an apprentice. There was never any set schedule. She didn't follow Matsu about the galaxy as if she were a lost puppy. Yet, one way or another, when the galaxy permitted, they always ended up next to one another and there was always a lesson to be learned. The way Jeela seemed to always be where she was headed next was so similar, it was almost creepy. But not creepy enough for the somewhat cryptic Jedi to stay away. What fun would that be?

"....Smile." Her foot tapped against the floor of the shuttle, eyes narrowing as if looking through the girl. "I don't believe I've ever seen you smile.. Why is that? Why do you force such stoic, emotionless expressions? You know, if you don't smile, the boys won't come running." A soft laughter accompanied her words. "So, what is it that your hiding?"

[Saki]

[member="Aika Kawakami"] [member="Jeela Tillian "]

Saki continued forward and was working on her goal. As the hammer struck the rock she broke into a section of the planet housing old ruins while she moved about. Stomping a hole as one of the jedi with her jumped down and spoke. "There is something glowing." The small roof of the ruins pulsed and even she could feel it then as she heard a scream. Felt a tremor vibrate forward as she ground her feet seeing a blast of light and sound. It was disorienting at first before she was moving and watching the one shadow running off at a highspeed. Saki shook her head and held the large hammer as howls came from things out there in the distance. "'Back to the wall lets move." Saki took off running and going towards the wall while she spoke. "This is Saki, I need a pick up, something just happened at an old ruin I need extraction."

 

[Mother Askani]

The skin above her eye, where an eyebrow would be normally, scrunched up as if she were raising them. This was in response to the fact that [member="Caira Zee"] approached in the most silent manner, though not a bad thing. She was glad they wouldn't have to search for her. She gathered them both, and motioned for them to walk with her. She would explain things on the way.

"Well, you guys are going to learn some beast taming skills, and how to manipulate the various objects if the living force around you. You'll see once we've landed of course." she said turning back around forward to finish walking towards the hangars.

They would need to board a ship, and make haste for the planet below, it was just as new to her as it was to anyone else attending this trip, though it would prove to be a good learning experience for them all, especially with the format in which she was training her students. Walking into the massive room, she moved at a moderate pace, making her way to one of the transports available for her group. She stepped on, and boarded, going over to the opposite side of the shuttle allowing room for the others.

"Today...we'll be hunting Jun-La. Prepare yourselves, you will have to get dirty."

FEW HOURS LATER...

They would be taken down near an area near the old ruins. She had heard about them, but she also wanted more than just a physical test for her students, how would they fair against minimal taints of the dark side if there were any, especially those things tainted themselves with it. These were things that would also make up the lessons for this day.

When the ship boarded, the ramp let down, and the jungle air rushed into the ship. Humid, moisture in the air. The buzzing sound of fauna..the jungle. The Master proceeded with taking off her robes, and revealing a more revealing attire compared to the layers of robes, but more form fitting, and would allow her to be at her most agilness. She motioned for the others to follow, and with that she walked towards the foliage.

[member="Aika Kawakami"]

Smile? Force such expressions? She shook her head slowly, "I am not forcing any expressions. This is my normal expression." She frowned slightly, confused. Aika seemed to be acting differently than normal. But then, those times had mostly been combat situations. This was not, so perhaps this was what she was normally like. "And I thought love was forbidden to the Jedi. Or does that not apply to Silver Jedi?"

She actually had no idea. The Jensaarai had no code against love. It was almost required to continue the order's existence. And hiding? She wasn't hiding anything. Well, not many knew she was banished from the Suarbi system, off the record, by the Jensaarai. She didn't think that was what AIka was implying though. "I do not understand what you mean when you say hiding. Are you referring to something specific?"

 

[Matsu Ike]

Matsu was there standing now, looking over the display showing her the lake and sections of it. She was workign with the designers now and laying it out. All one large estate with pens for some animals and well her large Bull Rancor so it could bond with her and Hanna. A wonderful pet that had Matsu excited. The temple like exterior in some places and the large pool they could swim in, a second story of it as well as a luscious drive way for speeders they could have. Beautiful carpets and as Matsu displayed the crystals from Tattooine that could pay for this place ten times over well she was glad for the discretion of being on paper only and electronic records holding the disguised names. The Silver Jedi would know she had a home but not exactly where.

 

[Aika Kawakami]

A quiet, warm laughter came from her person, eyes never leaving her frame. "I think you missed what I was saying, apprentice. I meant that you always seem to have such a uncaring expression. Laughter, Smiling. These are things that are okay to do. As a matter of fact, without them, we aren't much different from animals. As for the love thing.." Their pilot's voiced bellowed to the back of the shuttle. "Councillor! We got an incoming message!" Aika sighed as she rose to her feet, her grin dripping from her face as she swiftly made her way to the cockpit.

It would only take seconds before she was leaning over the troopers shoulder. "Open the comm." His head nodded, hitting a single button on the console.

"This is Saki, I need a pick up, something just happened at an old ruin I need extraction."

Well, this had to be bad. Saki was not one to make a call like this until the job was done. "Saki, it's Aika. We've just entered the atmosphere. Send your coordinates and we'll pull you out of there." Just as her words ceased, something else caught her attention. It was faint, yet a sense of something changing. It wasn't exactly close, matter of fact, it seemed as if it wasn't even on this planet, but the slight twinge in the back of her mind was an alert to something. "Captain, as soon as you get those coordinates, head for them. She's obviously in distress."

Her head turned slightly, gaze returning to the ever quiet girl. "Jeela. I don't know who your master is, or why they haven't took the time to teach you, but that is of no matter now. As far as I'm concerned, from this point on, we are master and apprentice. Your lesson for today.. Not everything is written in black and white. Darkness plus power does not always equal complete destruction. Remember this equation... I have a feeling you will need it later.."

@Jeela Tillian [member="Saki"]

 

[Saki]

[member="Aika Kawakami"] @Jeela Tillian

Saki sent the coordinates and moved going towards the large wall as she slammed the hammer into something, or someone it had lept a her howling and she smashed it away for a homerun. The wall in the distance was firing flame throwers and cannons at the tide of creatures now that she could see it and the crack crack of shots from slu throwers aiming for the heads brought her attention around as Saki jumped up focusing the force into her hands and feet to excite the air and make fire as she turned it into jets of fire launching her into the air. She was looking for the shuttle and speaking. "Hurry hurry something is down here."

 

[Jeela Tillian]

Jeela gave a small bitter laugh. Uncaring expression? "Well, Master Kawakami, as I have recently discovered, I am an uncaring person despite all of my illusions to the contrary. It had not occurred to me that simply spending two and a half years doing relief work does not mean one is a caring individual." She stopped as the pilot called Aika up, and she frowned. There was an urgency in their voices now, and a faint tendril of danger crept into her mind.

"As for who my master is, or was, now, I had none after Matsu no longer held the position of Jedi Master." At least, she was fairly certain that was how it worked out. It was more than a little complicated, since she didn't know any of the circumstances or reasoning behind it. That was certainly an interesting first lesson though, especially from a Jedi. "Something unexpected is happening, isn't it? I can sense it. And the idea behind the equation is familiar to me, being raised Jensaarai rather than Jedi, we, or they now, walk more shadowy areas than do the Jedi." She looked out the window, frowning. "How severe is the situation?"

[member="Aika Kawakami"]

 

[Aika Kawakami]

Her eyes remained locked on the girl, almost as if she was looking inside her her. In truth, she was thinking about diving into her mind, something she has yet to do. Every time Jeela spoke, she became more intriguing. The question was what she would find. After all, after so showing nothing but the same stoic expressions, she was now laughing. Something was off, or different. Without a doubt, there was something about her new apprentice..

Aika exhaled deeply before shaking her head. "I don't know. There's really to way of telling how grave a situation is without actually dealing with it directly. That said.." Her words were interrupted by those of her pilot. "Uh, Councillor... I don't think we're gonna be needing those coordinates.."

She spoke as her head turned towards the window. "And how do you intend to find her without.." Her words crawled to a halt as the sight of fire spouting into the skies caught her attention. With a nod of her head, she turned to head towards the rear of the shuttle. "Take us Captain. Do try to not get us fried.."

He laughed, shrugging his shoulders as the ship began to make a wide loop down toward where the blaze was spurting from. "Well, that's no fun.." The shuttle decended toward the ground about fifty meters behind Saki, not wanting to be caught in the blaze. The vessel hovered just above the surface as the ramp opened out, Aika's voice bellowing out. "Come on! I didn't come here to get a tan, Saki!"

[Connor Harrison]

The shuttle rocked gently, leaving the atmosphere of the far moon, it's strange climate giving way to the cold vastness of space.

Connor sat silently, a eerie reptilian look in his eyes, an ghostly ice blue glazed over the iris for a moment as the Taung spirit within fuelled his body and his spirit to take hostile action against the humans - all in good time.

Cold, calculating and careful. First, to strike at the head of the serpant he served. The Silver Jedi. Master Iella E'ron.

"Commander, make contact with [member="Iella E'ron"]. I request to see her. At once. If not, find someone who will."

The hammer was placed on the floor below him, the fellow Ranger sat behind him, with only the lie that his friends, now dead on the moon, were staying out of radio contact until they returned to maintain security in the observation tower.

So many of the Silver Jedi to stop before they prevented the Taung from taking over Shiri-Tal, and then the galaxy planet by planet. Connor screamed inside his head to stop, but it was useless. He wasn't Connor anymore.

[member="Aika Kawakami"] [member="Saki"]

Jeela stood and peered out the viewports. She could definitely see the wall and the active flamethrowers. That was not what she had been hoping for on this trip, but so be it. The Force had led her here for a reason, and now she would discover why. Apparently it was more than simply a time of soul searching and bitter reflection. There was danger afoot.

She gripped the seat as the ship came down to hover with the boarding ramp down, and an amusing thought struck her. "I believe we can assume the situation is fairly serious now, Defe, ah, Master." That would be something she would need to remember. The Jedi don't have Defenders. They're Masters.

 

[Saki]

[member="Jeela Tillian "] [member="Aika Kawakami"]

Saki looked down as she saw the shuttle down below, she dropped down and slammed into the top of the ship as she reached out with the force. Her hands gripping the transport as she moved and flipped back into the cabin. A look on her face and starring at Jeela and Aika. Her hand dropped the hammer and threw it inside to scrap on the floor. "You two." Saki moved forward and grabbed Jeela bringing her in for a hug as she squeezed her with a force enhanced grip and squeeze.. Then she turned to Aika and moved over to her. "And you." Saki moved to stand in front of the talented master and she moved fast. Hand coming up to grip Aika's face, her head coming forward and pressing her lips to hers for a moment before moaning a little and pulling away with an exaggerated sound. "I love you, saving me from the zombie creature things and all. I'm buying the first round, who wants some?"
