Shura no Hana (Maya Whitelight)

[Matsu Ike]

Voss was a place of mystery but there were other places in the places, ancient places where few went, where few remembered the dangers. Matsu had said before she got severed from the force she would show Maya one of these places and given what had transpired with her, what had come to be in the end. It seemed she had been right, seemed she had not seen what was in front of her at the time but she was going to fix that as the Vanguard now named the Harlequin finished loading up. She spared a look around the ship as the people milling about and checking all the systems.

The Harlequin Crew's doing what they did best as the Warden Combat Cloud Car was loaded up in the main hold with the boxes of supplies. The crew had plenty of space for their quarters and there was a room made for Maya with all the equipment needed to monitor her for the other jedi. Matsu wasn't leaving her alone or going to let her disappear on her but she did have some places they could go, somewhere she could show Maya the full danger of what she liked playing with. It made the solari crystal on her hip glow almost. The power of the lightside something she didn't mess around with

She exited the hanger and went around the temple, taking it all in and smiling to herself while she walked tapping and holding excitement almost in her hands. The shell spider silk and glistaweb clothing plain enough to sight but she was letting the semi regal look give her some clout. She was after all still one of the better researchers they had and touching her Hold-out Bolter necklace was a comfort, it would at least give her the distraction if someone bothered her. Her other weapons the silver and engraved saber on her hip, the Net launcher and Palm Shot in their places.

Matsu approached the room and tuck her head in speaking softly but offering a smile from under her hat while mischievious light flickered in her eyes. Maya was also teaching her cousin which meant she had a special place as it were of being respected. "Are you ready to go?" Matsu held herself there for a moment letting even her short stature prove somewhat bigger then most. She knew how to more then most use the force in new ways and the jedi as she had said were missing some oppertunities by stiffling their members you had to let them experience the galaxy before they submitted to full training and and that was the here.

Letting herself get herself ready for this trip to the unknown as it may be. It seem the only way she could learn more that she seek. In knowledge one could learn a lot. In so being as the one that would be coming any time to get her was of her student cousin knowing a little about her not much just on a few mission here and there but not really getting to know her on a one on one.

It was only went the knock came upon her green house room. It cause a ripple among her babies as it was far from the first visitors but from the last night. Pulling the curtain from the front of the door. "Come in I"m about ready just for a few more clippings, I"m ready to go with you, [member="Matsu Ike"]

Matsu looked at Maya with a smile on her face, amusement and interest playing upon it at the sight of the young Zeltron while she bowed her head. "Thank you for agreeing to come with me." Matsu looked at Maya and offered her arm for her to walk with her towards the ship. "Your garden looks beautiful and this time I promise there will be no sandworms or plagues." Matsu was walking down the way after she waited for her to follow and was thinking about all they could do together. Her skills as a healer would prove invaluable in times of crisis and that was why they did all that they had been doing with their searching, why they had been working with the other healers. "I once promised you a trip to a world where you can see nature and a choice many must make. I am here to keep that promise."

Now this was the where she was to be going this she like very much. This putting a curve on her lips as she had only started to show a little bit as the bundles was just cooking away inside of her. As she came to put her hand upon her shoulder. "This bring a joy to my lips as lng with I"m always up for another adventure. AS long as there isn't any sandworms we be good."

Matsu looked at her and smiled to that while she motioned and walked going down the hallway. The jedi healer was a curious thing only because well Matsu liked curious things. She wasn't like the other healers that was sure, her view was in Matsu's opinion childish at best. There was value in respecting the darkness but you don't play in it. You don't use it as the darkside corrupts all it touches, her own experiences with dealing against sith lords and masters of the darkside had shown her you needed to be careful lest you slowly become them. Which is why she kept solari crystals and other lightsided items.

The trip back onto the ship was well worth it as well as Matsu slowly led the way through the ship and the crew was working hard. Their work on her songsteel suits to make them scaled down armored sections was nice as the golden armor gleamed. Matsu touched the chest plate as it was emblazoned with the symbol of the jedi order. The helmet having a puffed up purple ponytail that might look frivolous and it was but damn if she didn't like all that was happening with it. The bulk of the armor was its systems while the backplate was being secured with sections of protect casing for the suits power and systems.

She was looking over the suit of stormtrooper armor from the Sith empire they had designed for inquisitors and well there was plenty going on with it but more importantly they were working on several of the systems. The powercells being able to fit in the knee and barely encumber the wearer was a nice thing. That would become helpful if everything worked properly and she was planning for a great deal of it all having to work. Stealth systems with reflec and stygium cloaking. She would still have to find that while she was moving and went into the briefing room. The course being set. "Are you ready to go?"

 

[Maya Carrick]

Even those she was looking forward to their little trip it wasn't with out having some thoughts as well to planning. Having brought her bag that wasn't much to her own quaters for this trip. Finding that her own armor of Akk scales wasn't fitting in all the right places any more. It would be only time that all the others figure out about her being with child. Not knowing to her she wasn't only carrying one life but two. Finding herself going through the many different herbs that she carried with her all the time.

Even so she made sure that all was in order before joining her fellow silver jedi. Moving still in a manner or very easy of her own physical body. After which she walked in to only be asked a simple question. "I'M ready to depart."

Matsu looked at Maya who was ready to go and she smiled at the jedi healer. With a small tapping of her fingers she was moving about for them to get going while the ship went up sealing fully. The crew watching the sight of it for a moment before the ship departed and went to hyperspace. Matsu turned to look at Maya and spoke while she led the way to the quarter. "Your room is right here across from mine and able to handle whatever you need." Matsu went over into her room and back to her project, the stormtrooper inquisitor armor was there but more then that there was the golden armor she had been working to fashion down for personal use. Matsu was polishing it and working on shaving off plenty of it. "This world we are going to I must warn you nature there has become something dangerous. With the passage of time and the dangerous waters that were imbued with energy, the plants will try and kill you if you are not careful and they have lived longer then the Republic in some cases. You must be ready and careful. That is why we have a large amount of equipment."

 

[Maya Carrick]

Now came the word of just what she had decide to help her with on this mission. After hearing of planet life this cause her to listen to every word hanging on to them. "Danger plants, not like iHaven't ran into one of two plants like this before.", as she got herself ready even those she really was ready started to tinker with a few things now and then until she thought they was ready. In a way all she was doing was fusing together a few things here and there to make a herb stronger or better to blend with.

"So is this planet far that we are gong to.", it really didn't matter to her as long as they got there in one piece listing once again to see what could only e take at and spoken.

"One or two is different from an entire planet Maya, nature has reversed the creatures of the world are dangerous but every plant has a deep long life. Each plant in the planets ecosystem is something that moves and eats." She had a look though and remained there for a moment while her hands danced over it all. Matsu looked at the armor and started bringing it down while she was working on fitting it to her. "We'll be there soon enough, not many search for this world they try to avoid it and feel unease, I have been there a few times to explore and search out dangers. It is a dangerous world the jedi have chosen to avoid and for good reason in the end."

Her smile remained on her face while Matsu stepped away and took off the armored sections. It was all well and good but she needed to be fully dressed and armored for these while her hands moved over the bodysuit stripping down as she stood there fully covered in tattoo's and piercings with a curtain of black hair around her to obscure her. The jedi slid on the bodysuit and knew it wasn't the greatest but she was working hard on it while moving and getting the armored sections back on. Slowly she rose up while she stood there in the golden armor securing the helmet with her hair coming out a top section for a ponytail.

"There we go." Matsu looked at herself in the mirror and had to admit as she slid the gunbelt on that she looked good. A duster for her use and pistol into the holster while she turned to see Maya smiling beneath the helmet. "Make sure you are ready for the situation and always be prepared. A good motto, you won't believe what could happen and there are other secrets on this world you will want to see when the time comes. Something I never showed anyone before before and have only referenced briefly in my notes." Matsu moved touching her sabers as she clipped them onto her belt and patted her shoulder. "We'll be there soon get ready."

Listening to Matsu as she spoke what need to be spoke, listening to every word. Finding herself pausing her own cheek of her own equipment. After which time she spoke. "That all that you have spoken is true. Even in nature their is those that have more of the dark feel upon it." as she once again found herself making sure all was ready. Even her kit to be able to heal if one of them would be wounded.

After which she found herself almost ready. In a way she wanted to go on just because she could study all the nature around her. "you look great"

"THank you." Matsu was looking at herself in the armor and feeling it out, it still needed in some area's to be improved and it could be tweaked here or there but she had ideas on that. She had some thoughts of where she could make the armor better for use later that would have to be done later. For now while she reached out with the force to feel it, the planet loomed in the distance, she knew that feeling of it, that darkness and oppression created by something so old it had corrupted the planet solely from its own anger and hatred. Now they were walking right into it and she wanted to make sure they were ready.

Thankfully she had traveled with Vulpesen before he disappeared fighting the sith... reports were sketchy with next to no one actually working to try and confirm the rumors he had joined them. She had talked with the boy and he seemed just as dedicated to the lightside as she was in the end it would be a cold day when he fell. Not to say it was impossible but she would never assume he had just fallen to the darkside when there were other thoughts in his mind that made it crafty. "We should be arriving soon enough, sometimes one can journey here in their dreams... or nightmares. It is the oldest place beyond shadows."

 

[Maya Carrick]

As they got closer it was herself looking at her that couldn't help to see that she was in deep thoughts over something but not knowing of what. After which she let out a smile. "Then we will have to be very careful will we not.", as she let out a smile upon her lips. Knowing that with out a doubt she would have to be on her guard not only for herself but for the life forms she carries inside of her now. As she let herself look down at the belly that seem to be growing each day now. Smooth it as she talk to them each as if they was already in her arms out side the wounds.

Matsu looked at Maya as she walked and had a small grin on her face under the helmet. She was working on and checking it now as she slowly made her way through the ship towards the ramp. Matsu opened it while she looked on and the scanners showed everything was normal. The vegetation was growing around them from the jungle while Matsu's head turned. Something was on maya's mind and she spoke. "If there is anything hidden or that I should know Maya? This world has a way of making secrets come to light and showing people dangerous truths. The jedi who came here long ago saw the sith would live for centuries still."

She kept a look on her face though and was moving now carefully as the blood vines swished around on the ground. Her hand pointing it out while she moved over and past the one vine. She was moving now while the trees showed a great deal of the native creatures, they were small and as one jumped to the ground it touched the vine. The small touch bringing it around as it slowly wrapped around and squeezed around constricting and crushing it. Matsu moved off to the distance and jumped over another vine avoiding it before she was pointing and indicating for Maya to follow her over. "Be careful."

 

[Maya Carrick]

Listening to her about if there was anything she need to know from her past. Yes everyone had a past some of it which she already knew. Feeling that there was more to this then met the eye. Finding herself only to look over towards what could only be where they was going next. Watching every move of her very carefully. Knowing this was to be a fun time for a time to relax but how could she relax. It wasn't like there was some deep darkness in her.

Giving her a smile, only to feel herself take whole of the vine feeling how alive it was as she took her turn coming over then the next before she once again was beside her own feeling silver jedi. Where could she even start at after all there was so many things he need to go over it. Some things that only Xander knew the full true or as much as she would let him in. It was true she wasn't one to let one in fully to any of her life.

Matsu moved looking at the jungle and staying on her toes, the armor was impressive and protecting her now as she worked to be silent. Letting her mind wander about reaching out to sense all that she could around the area. So much life while her scanners were working in the HUD system. Tracking movement and direction so she could not be endangered with a smile under the helmet. She stood still brushing aside a section of vines to display a temple that was overgrown and crumbling, the large cave system protected and showing in the back of the temples courtyard while she was looking down. Matsu had a few thoughts but none were getting more important then survival.

The jedi was moving towards the walls and brushing aside vines as she pushed forward and one, aiming with the gauntlet as she fired off a flexsteel cord to make a wire for crossing to another section. She could fly and get over there that way but it wouldn't prove as useful since she didn't know if Maya could fly over while she was moving across now and left a clamp for going across. The walls were old stone from before the Republic as she looked over them nodding her head to herself more but letting all the scanners run as she searched for some areas where it could give. Matsu pulled away some vines and started going into the cave just letting herself record everythign in case of playback being needed.
