Daichi stood below the White Tree, the Light Side nexus of the temple. He watched the branches, his eyes trailing over them to the white leaves. So pure, so innocent. It truly was beautiful. But, this day was not. No, word had reached his ears of a powerful Sith Lord who survived the purge of the New Order. One who's survival was truly a threat.

He called all of the Grey here, waiting for them to show. There would be much to discuss.

 

[Minna]

Minna and William arrived in unison, standing side by side infront of Daichi. They both wore their usual attire and had grave looks on their faces. "The news can't be good then..." William said, folding his arms as he was unaware of the matter of discussion. The Yodaling next to him nodded, looking up at William. "Wait for the others, we shall. Repeat himself, Daichi shouldn't."

[Veino Garn]

Veino stepped over the edge of the wall from the staircase he had gotten around to building. And paused to study the tree. It was flourishing and beautiful. Well worth the work that had gone into growing it.

He stepped away from the staircase and took a seat on the wall, frowning with concern. He could sense the gravity of the situation easily enough. He had a hunch it would involve bad news.

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

Alexandra herself had already been in the garden, as it was the one place with the exception of the Waterfall or her workshop that she remained for long periods of time, normally in the tree though for now she stood on the ground as those began to arrive, her eyes looking from person to person.

[Darth Vaildra]

Hakora arrived dressed without a shirt and wet shorts. He had been training in a waterfall when he got the message. It seemed like he would never get a break, there always seemed like something was going on of dire importance or some sith was trying to destroy the world. He said nothing as he arrived, just took a seat in the grass and waited.

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

Krafurk Arrived after Hakora in his cloaks covering most of his Ithorian head and body. He needed to do something other then train more in the courtyard. Hearing the Message about a meeting he walked to the Temple huming a Ithor Tune while staring at the tree. It was a beatiful plant and reminded Krafurk of his Homeword Ithor.

But by the looks of everyone else the coming news was to be bad or depressing at the most. Krafurk waited taking a knee by [member="Minna"] and William to see what the news was.

[Darth Ferus]

Daichi clapped his hands together after the party had assembled. His blue gaze drifted to each one, slowly assessing what he could. They all looked worried, similar to himself. Good.

"During the fall of the New Order the Sith were exiled and civil war broke out. The emperor fought against these Sith, but it was at that time he ceased to exist. However, there have been several rumors of a Sith Lord who survived the pirfe. Who is close by our air space.

While a Sith alone would not be an issue, the rumors are of a man machine. A techno beast. A technobeast is forced combination of machine and flesh utilizing the Force. They are not sentient, but this Sith had created a way to keep his mind. He can make more.

For now, we know nothing. But on top of this, there are several dark side artifacts at the now empty New Order temple. It is likely the Sith Lord will return to get them. I say we get them first."

 

[Minna]

William frowned, rubbing the stubble on his chin after hearing Daichi's speech. His head turned to Minna, who looked up at him, then turned to [member="Daichi"]. "A great risk it is, to fight a Sith Lord for artifacts." She said, joining her hands together. "Send the padawans, do you intend to?".

"I think we could defeat him, but since when was it our place to hunt Sith? We're a Neutral Order, it's the Jedi who fight them openly. Do we even know what his intentions are?" William asked, glaring at Daichi aswell.

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

Krafurk tried to act sad but in honest truth he wanted to read the sith artifact to further his knowledge base. One of his best friends learned at from Sith artifacts and he turned out fine. Krafurk not seeing the issue there speaks out " What are we to do with the Artifacts if successful? And do we know who this Sithlord is?" Krafurk was mostly worried about the sithlord he was only a padawan and wouldnt pose much to a Sithlord he thought as he looked around.

[Alexandra Feanor]

She remained silent unlike the others, not because she didn't care, no she would gladly shoot a sith out an airlock if she got the chance. But that was the problem, she normally found herself hating sith and for once she actually was not in hatred of the sith. Ever since she had broken from Hel she had found it harder to summon up fear, anger, and hatred like before, those violent volatile emotions that had sent her to the darkside were simply gone from her.

[Darth Ferus]

Daichi shook his head. "I will be going to collect the artifacts myself. I only made this announcement for he intends to target all of you. Darty Maxhinra."

He went quite then, looking around to the others. Alexandra was the only other master, and a new one at that. He was worried.

 

[Minna]

Minna looked down at the floor, a look of sadness forming. "The whole temple, or just us?" William asked hastily, as he had straightened up in the slight shock of the news. It wasn't everyday a Sith Lord was going to come and kill him and his friends. "How does he know about us?" The Yodaling looked up suspicously at [member="Daichi"]. "Know alot about this Sith, you do. Something to hide, have you?" She frowned, as her trust in Daichi wavered.

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

Krafurk frowned and didnt like the idea of combat against a Sithlord, he doubted his abilites he could contribute to the fight. Krafurk little nervous speaks out again " I dont like the idea of us leaving you alone to get the artifacts. Sith artifacts are dangerous if some was to happen to you we would not know now be able to help till a ladder time. Im sure the Sithlord will take all of us." Krafurk said hoping [member="Daichi"] would change his mind or bring someone with him.

[Darth Vaildra]

Hakora listened and he knew of this piece of history through Master Shin and knew exactly what they were up against because he had trained for it. Hakora listened for a while and then spoke. "If my Master clears it, I will take care of this war machine. I made something perfect for taking it down, but it is in my room along with my armor." Hakora had built, with Shin's help, a device that shot only one shot like the head of an arrow. It would fire and if in connected to the machine man it would release high voltage electricity that would shut down it's systems and allow Hakora a chance to kill it.

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

"Dont even think about it Hakora..." She was confident in her brother's abilities but this was a Sith Lord they were talking about, it is unlikely anything any of them did could stop him if they wanted too. "I think we should consider what is at stake here, we have a force that we have little information on, a Sith Lord who holds more power than likely any of us, and even more so the fact that we don't know what these Artifacts do... i bought a large force recently for... a personal matter but the best we can do is hunker down while the droids secure the area and then find out what the Artifacts even do. That is my imput atleast."

 

[Darth Ferus]

"Nothing new to your ears, Minna. He was known well by Krest, one who experimented heavily with Technobeasts. Once the Emperor exiled the Sith, he chose to kill those who sided with the Emperor. Myself included. However, the artifact is one. And one several of you know. Krest's own blade Deus, warped by the darkside. It is powerful, and the dark can be siphoned."

His yawned then, setting his hands behind his head.

 

[Veino Garn]

Veino sat listening, thinking carefully. There were a multitude of potential paths here and he could see the outcomes of none of them. There were times when he wished he had the gift of foresight rather than innate empathy. It'd certainly be much more helpful in these situations, but could e a greater risk. It was hard to hate anyone or be anger at anyone when you felt their pain, their loneliness, stepping somberly into their skin thst you lose sight of your own identity. Not much danger of the Dark Side from that, as long as he keptmhismown head and the barriers up.

"I agree with Daichi," His voice was slow and thoughtful, "But the artifacts would be a danger to bring them here. It would make us a target and we may not have the power to hold it back." He trailed off, "Unless the Sith's techno union has weakened the For e connection. Even then, and if we have a chance, I would not bring the Padawans into this. It is far too dangerous. The Sith's most dangerous weapons are their words and their emotion. A Sith Lord especially so."

[Darth Vaildra]

" Hakora crossed his arms as he listened. He knew try all spoke wisdom, but were also giving this Sith Lord too much credit. " a Sith Lord yes and more powerful then I currently am, yes. The point I am making is that A, we do not have a large enough group to handle this with only knights and masters seeing as there is only one master am two knights. Master Shin, if you remember, fought in this civil war and was in fact the reason he became an exiled Jedi. I know quite a lot about this Lord and have prepared a device to shut down people like him. I may be young, but I am not weak and I do not see power or reason in submitting to the dark side so my will is strong enough to confront one. Also, when we want to the meeting on Veino's home world you might remember I have them a sword and spoke with one in private. I found an old sith artifact there, one that I had seen in my visions and why not try it against a lord? If you still do not think I am ready, then join me sister. We need all the help we can get." Hakora was passionate, a trait of the dark side some would say, but passion was what fueled him and made him strong. Passion made him always give his all to something and push past his lomits when they were met.

 

[Minna]

"What if we split?" William looked around, speaking to the whole group. "The Padawans willing to come could go in one group, led by a Knight or Master. They will go and get the Artifacts. Everyone else, Knights and Masters, can track down the Sith Lord and kill him. That way, the Sith Lord wont reach the Artifacts, we'll have them, and the Padawans will be safe." He turned to [member="Daichi"] finally, since he was the one who knew the most.

Minna looked to [member="Hakora Shin"], examining him for a moment. "A test it could be, for the Padawans. Aslong as the Sith Lord, they do not encounter."

[Alexandra Feanor]

"I dont like this..." She muttered under her breath, too low for anyone to hear before sighing and looking at her datapad, this time speaking with a greater volume. "We should discuss rather how soon these steps would need to be taken, i already have my droids moving into position around the compound but i would like to know how long we have before you suggest we undergo this... assault on this sith."
