[New Republic/Open to Jedi] Group training at the Garden

Serpena
OOC: Any Jedi feel free to jump in. Make use of the NPC Master and do your thing! The objective is capture the flag, your challenges are three robotic Magnaguards.

Much of what was learned was also forgotten. For thousands of years Jedi had guarded and served the weak and defenceless. Today was no different, except there were many of them scattered. Much like Jade who'm had been found on Kal'Shebbol by a Rogue Master, many of them were looking for a purpose.

Master Terrel Kiran had set up a sortie for anyone in the area that was interested. New Republic Channels and other channels had been broadcasting the message on a loop, hoping to draw in some new folks, and maybe some old folks to observe.

The chamber they were using was immense. full of vines that clung to the dome shaped rocks, and icicles that defied the heating systems hung from the very tops of the ceilings. It was a dangerous environment, which is why it had been chose.

More specifically Master Kiren had set up and obstacle course complete with robotic opponents for them to traverse. Jade being the youngest of her Jedi Clan the Golden Swords had jumped on it.

"Focus Jade, do not allow your frustration to get the best of you. Anger becomes a building block of the darkside, something we must strive to reject."

Her brow was soaked in sweat. It had soaked through her raggedy robes and stained her clothing with salty white splotches. She was hungry, tired , thirsty and aggravated. She'd been forbidden to use the force in any telekinetic way to achieve her goal.

A flag at the end of the room.

"A Jedi cannot always use the force for everything, sometimes just allowing it to guide you and letting your natural strength do the rest is the best option."

She snorted, recalling the lecture and then sank to a crouch. Salty water seeped into the corners of her mouth and into her eyes stinging them.

Become calm in the center of the storm....

Calm....

All thoughts began to fade.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes Master."

"Very well. Begin."

There was a brief moment of calm and then an explosion. All tendons and muscles fired at once as the young Jedi woman roared. Her legs pumped, footfall after footfall. The wind of her body cutting the air impacted in her ears like a gale. The weight of her saber felt like an iron ball.

She exploded, running towards the opposite end of the chamber, bracing for an intercepting robotic attacker....
 
Asriel walked up to the training grounds. Asriel had been looking forward to training. Asriel walked up and saw a woman running down a hall. "wow she sure does go fast." Asriel said to himself as he got closer. . hopefully she'd make it. Asriel looked around for a master, but there didn't seem to be one. "hm I guess that's okay" Asriel watched the woman run down the hall. She went fast, and had a good rhythm to her running. "I wonder if I'll ever run that fast..."

(be prepared for not that descriptive posts, I'm not good at describing things unless I'm the creator ;) )

Just as she had expected.

From the shadows burst the first magnaguard. A towering machine of metal alloy it bumbled into her path. Lightning crackled along it's staff and the air was cut with a buzzzzzzzz.

The second her eye spotted it she felt her annoyance rise, flushing both cheeks ruby red. A hint of anger crept into her veins. Her heart rate accelerated, slamming adrenaline through her veins as he thumb slid across the button of her saber.

Hissssss

A purple blade sprang to life, erupting with a glare from the end of the dull scuffed hilt. Both feet slid apart shoulder length and the blade hummed as it transitioned to a diagonal guard across her body. She was no master or adept. Having grasped Form I she was a basic student. But her wrath was that of an animal.

"Calm yourself Jade! Don't let your anger-"

It was too late. In a second Jade was on the Magna gaurd, raising her saber high off her left shoulder and striking once, twice and third time as fast and as hard as her body allowed. Muscles ached, her fingers went numb but she strove to drive each strike harder than the last.

Each one crashed upon the staff, forcing it lower, and lower and then...

"Umphh!"

Saliva spewed from her jaw as electrical currents burst across her body. Her attack was savage, but the counter thrust into her abdomen was more so.

"Arrgh!"

The saber dropped to deck, snapping out of life and she dropped to a knee.

"You can't always go in guns blazing Padawan. Learn to control yourself."

Frustration still made her face burn.

"Yes Master."

"We have a new comer I see! Jade come and join us!"

Master Kiran strode down from his spot on the catwalk, giving a curt bow to Asriel.

"Greetings young one. My name is Master Kiran, and this is Jade."

Dusting off her robes Jade smiled, extending a hand.

"Hello there!"
 
Asriel watched them walk over, "hello! I'm Asriel Dreemurr!" always greet a stranger like a friend, he shook the hand. There the master was, and there was the woman who did the course. "I see you already started." Asriel grinned, "so what's the deal, do the course?" Asriel asked as he peeked over their shoulders. Asriel was almost certain it was more complex than that but... nice to ask.

"Well there is much more to it then a simple course young one." Master Kiran replied. Jade tucked her saber into her belt, crossing both hands behind her back. Her chest was still rising and falling quickly, sweat still stinging her pores. Much of her breath was becoming shallower now as she sank back into her training.

Mindfulness they called it. Being here and now, in a meditative state. No thoughts, no preconceived notions, just the here and now only.

"The course is only a test I devised to test Padawans Jade's power's with the force. It takes determination and focus. Before we can Master any application of the force, we must first master ourselves. Emotions left unchecked are a doorway into the Darkness. The Darkside is something The Golden Swords do not allow."

Jade smiled, thinking of how many more times the old man would give this lecture in the future.

"Something to say Padawan?"

"Uh.."

She was startled, she thought the movement was quite subtle.

"I am a bit of a mentalist. I can sense thoughts."

"No Master, nothing."

"Very well. Well then Padawan Asriel, what is your background with the force? Jedi or other?"
 
Asriel looked up, "background? I'm not really either sir. But I aspire to be a Jedi!" Asriel grinned, he couldn't wait. "so is there anything else besides the course?" Asriel asked, he looked around, trying to spot something.

Master Kiran nodded.

"There's much more than just the course. But yes, go ahead and try it. See how you do. Jade, would you be so kind as to lend a saber to the Asriel."

Jade nodded, detaching a singular silver cylinder and pressing it into the girls hands. With a grin she backed up and nodded.

"Right then. Rules are no telekinetic applications of the force. Everything else is allowed. I assume you know how to use this. Let the force guide you and good luck."

She stepped back a couple spaces, arms now crossed. She was interested to see how Asriel measured up against the magnaguards. It would be nice to have a fellow Padawan. Even if she didn't join the Golden Swords, it'd be nice to make some friends off world.
 
(Sorry for no color text right now)

Asriel nodded, no force... Wow... Asriel nodded and took the saber hilt. "This'll be good training." Asriel activated the saber, with a snap, hiss it opened revealing a blade of energy (not gonna dictate what color since it's your saber) "alright..." Asriel jumped up and down three times. Asriel got ready, "ready when you say..."
