A new threat (Possible Star Wars rp)

[Fermire]

Zek had been training intensely during the past few months. His Jedi Master had been pushing him hard to improve his skills. Zek had been on many missions over his three year span as a jedi apprentice, but none came close to his experience on his homeworld of Seldrem. He still couldn't forget that day, three years ago, when Master Jago had rescued him from the planet, just as the remnant finished their destruction of the planet. Zek couldn't forget his father's last word's as he thrust his lightsaber into Zek's hands, "Don't loose hope and never surrender."

That simple phrase had been Zek's motto from that day on. Zek remembered his father, as he rushed bravely back into battle that day, as Zek was carried away with Master Jago to Coruscant. The thought never occured to Zek at that time, that he would never again see his father.

Master Jago had taught Zek all she knew about the force and about the lightsaber. Using his father's saber was a constant reminder of the need for Jedi in the galaxy.
Since the fall of the sith and of the empire, Jedi were still very scarce in the galaxy. Zek knew of the urgency of the situation, which was what inspired him to train even harder to become a Jedi knight.

Master Jago finished up his round od sparring for the day. Zek was thoroughly exhausted from his training. He had worked hard that day, for, he had heard rumors that the Jedi Masters were soon going to name a few new Jedi knights.

"That was good training run today, keep up the good work," Master Jago encouraged Zek.

Zek made his way to his sleeping quarters for the night. It had been this way for nearly three months, train by day, sleep by night.

The next day, however, didn't fit the routine. The remnant had lauched an early morning assault on Coruscant. The New Republic was scrambling to get star fighters into the sky to face the threat that currently faced them.

Suddenly, a door was blown open in the Jedi temple. Zek had already made his way downstairs and witnessed it as it happened. Shards flew in every direction as the dust settled to reveal the attackers.

It was special forces unit of storm troopers. Especially assigned the role of capturing the Jedi temple.

Zek drew his light saber from his side and ignited the light saber, casting an orange glow across his face. Master Jago appeared at his side. She was also armed with a light saber, except her's emanated a purple glow.

The storm troopers began to advance into the Jedi temple as Zek and Master Jago braced for the assault.

((OOC: My Star Wars Charictors in this RP are. Japoka Ragnos, Japala Ragnos, Master Carlona, and Dav Nalto.))


Japoka rushed to the main doors of the temple. The young Twi'Lek had just woke up, and was now in a battle to save the temple from storm troopers.

"Zek!" Shouted Japoka as he deflected blaster fire with his light saber. Whats going on?!"
"I don't know!" replied Zek. "They just came out of nowhere!"

Jaopka looked around for his master.
It was unlike him to not show up for a battle.
Suddenly, a flash of black flew over their heads. It landed in the middle of the troopers.
A green flash joined the black one, cutting down the Storm troopers. It was Luke Skywalker.
Jopoka was surrounded. "This will be easy" He knocked them down with the force and was about to cut down one that was getting up, when his comlink buzzed.
He snatched it off of his belt and glared at it, wondering who wanted him at a time like this.
But when he looked at it, he turned pale. And dropped the comlink.
He took off down the hall. He raced to the air lift and waited impatiently as it slowly took him to the 275th floor. When the doors opened he ran to his quarters. His master was there, with his twin sister. "We have to leave." said master . "But why? most of the troops have been wiped out. almost every jedi in the temple is down there fighting." "I can't tell either of you at the moment, but we have to go now!"

[Fermire]

OCC: Thanks for joining Dakota

Zek had no idea why Japoka had left the battle so quickly. Whatever his reason, it had better be a good one. His master was sure to be mad at him if he didn't return quickly. Then Zek thought for a moment," I haven't seen Japoka's master either."

The battle raged on. Zek was forced to cast his fears and thoughts aside of Japoka and return to the battle.

The storm troopers had been pushed back and had nearly been eliminated completetly.

Suddenly a blast rang out from above as pieces of the roof began to fall in the form of concrete and metal. Zek was forced to utilize his force abilities to prevent the falling debris from crushing him. Casting the rocks and pieces of metal aside, Zek looked up to see a fresh brigade of stromtroopers rappeling from the newly opened hole in the ceiling.

Using his force power, Zek jumped into the air and sliced through two of the storm troopers before they could reach the ground. Zek's legs tightened together suddenly, causing him to fall roughly to the ground. Looking behind him, Zek realized that his feet had been binded together by one of the storm troopers various weapons of torment.

Zek was about to cut off his bindings, when his arms were lashed together as well, forcing him to drop his light saber from his hand.

A group of five storm troopers lifted Zek up from the ground as Zek continued to fight against his binding, uselessly.

A buzzing noise, sounded overhead. Looking up, (which was about the only thing Zek could do) he saw a ship descend to the Jedi temple's floor. He watched helplessly as he was carried into the blackness of the ship to be transported to an unknown location.

----------------


Master Jago watched as the events unfolded much more quickly before her eyes than they had before Zek's eyes.

She watched as Zek was binded, disarmed and carried away inside the storm trooper's ship.

Wasting not a second more, Master Jago gave chase. Finding on of the various ships the Jedi had at their disposal, Master Jago took the controls to follow the storm trooper's ship to wherever it might take her apprentice.

OCC: Try and find a way to combine the two story plots. If you don't mind, Dakota.

[Dakota]

Japoka raced with through the temple to the ship hangars.
Dehind him was Master Carlona, His sister, and in his back pack, his pet kowokian Monkey lizard named Dav Nalto. They arrived at the hangars, relived to see that the storm troopers hadn't made it here yet. They quickly climbed abord a small cargo ship and took off into space, dodging some blaster fire on the way.
As Master Carlona punched in cordinates he told them why they were leaving.
"Japoka, Japala. You both know you are the heirs to the throne of Ryloth. It is your duty to protect your planet at all costs." "Master..." "The Empire is almost finished constructing a third Death Star. The councel just found about it this morning. The Empire plans to destroy Ryloth when it is finished." "No... No! No they can't! Ryloth will not let them do that with out a fight!"
Yelled Japala. "Young one, do you remember your teachings about Alderan? They would never know what happeded" "So where are we going?" Asked Japoka. "To the Death Star.
Our mission is to destroy it before it it completed."

An imperial ship flew by them. Instantly, Japoka knew that Zek was on that ship.
"Master..." "I know. They are most lekly headed to the Death Star. We will save him"

((OOC: How is that? )

[Fermire]

OCC: That works nicely, I like how the story is going so far.

All Zek could see was darkness. It had been like this seemingly for hours. After he had been carried into the ship with the storm troopers, he had been forcefully pushed to the floor inside the ship, and had been closely guarded by at least five storm troopers ever since.

Trying to escape was futile, so Zek was left to wonder where in the world they were heading.

----------------


Master Jago had managed to closely follow the ship carrying her apprentice Zek. If it were to enter hyperdrive, she would be ready to follow.

The imperial ship had already left Coruscant's atmosphere and was heading farther into space.

Suddenly, a ship pulled along side Master Jago's. Master Jago sensed that the ship was friendly and that it contained a fellow Jedi Master, with two padawan's in tow.

"Sir, I request assistance, my padawan has been taken prisoner by the remnant. I request back up, can you assist?"

[Dakota]

Master Carlona was trying to follow the imperial ship when the ship's comlink buzzed
"Sir, I request assistance, my padawan has been taken prisoner by the remnant. I request back up, can you assist?"

"Master Jago? Is that you master?" The transmission was full of static, probably the Empire's doing. "Master Carlona. Zek has been taken prisoner. I need your assistance." "He is most likely being taken to the Death Star." Said Master Carlona. There was silence on the comlink for a few moments. "But, but that was destroyed."Said Master Jago "The last of the empire is constructing a third Death Star. We are going there to try and destroy it. Will you join us?"

[Fermire]

Master Jago was stunned at the news of a third death star. While she completely trusted Master Carlona's words, it made Master Jago wonder were Master Carlona had found out that information. It certainly wasn't a known fact among the general Jedi counsel, that was certain.

"I'm willing to assist with your mission to destroy the death star. But first, I must rescue my padawan, Zek. Then I'll have a few questions to ask you, then perhaps I'll be willing to help."

Master Jago watched as another imperial ship, much larger than the one carrying Zek, pulled along side the smaller imperial ship. The smaller ship entered into the larger ship's hangar bay.

Whatever was happening in those two ships, it couldn't be good and certainly not for Zek, whichever ship he was now inside.

------------------

Zek’s ride came to an abrupt stop. Light flooded into his vision as he was carried out of the imperial ship and into a hangar of some sort.

The storm troopers surrounded him on all sides; there was still no chance of escaping.

Zek was carried through a long hallway and out into a large circular room. Something about the room sent a chill up Zek’s spine. He didn’t like that place at all and for some reason he was completely repulsed at the place and wanted to get out as quickly as he could.

Suddenly the storm troopers dropped him onto the ground and hastily made their way out of the room.

Zek realized that he was no longer bonded together by the storm trooper’s tools.

Zek shuddered once more as a dark robed figure appeared on the other side of the room.

The figure stopped and then said, “Do you wish to have more power than you could ever imagine?”

OCC: Don't rescue Zek just yet, you can start to try though, if you'd like.

[Dakota]

Master Carlona stopped the ship and opened the door to a small cargo bay in the back of the ship.
After Master Jago guided her ship inside, he quickly closed the door and opened the air lock. As she climbed out of her ship. Master Carlona walked in to greet her. "Ariyana, I'm glad you are ok."Said Master Carlona. "You too, Dolara. What is going on?" Said Master Ariyana. "Today the counsel discovered evidence of a third Death Star. I was going to find you and the other council members and tell you, when the temple was attacked."
Me and my padawans had to leave imminently, or the entire mission would be jepordised. I think there is an imperial spy in the council that alerted the empire of our discovery." Said Master Dolara. "But that would mean..." "That he or she can use the force."

((OOC: Feel free to bring in Japoka or Japala))

[Fermire]

Master Jago was more than eager to rescue her apprentice, so she set out immediately to get the other to help as well.

"If you are going to try and destroy the Death Star, you'll need all the help you can get. Help me rescue my padawan and I'll help you destroy the Death Star. So what will our plan of action be for rescuing Zek?"

Master Jago let that statement hang in the air. Mater Carlona needed to help if Master Jago was going to help destroy the death star without a proper discussion about it with the council.


-----------------------

The figure reached out of it’s hand, and using the force, sent a light saber straight into Zek’s hands.

Zek froze for a moment, wondering if the blade was his. But any question of that was erased when he opened the saber, revealing it’s red glow, only found in Sith blades.

The dark robed figure once again spoke, “My name is Darth Rancorous, you can be my apprentice, you can learn how to master the force, and to be stronger than you could ever imagine.”

Zek was shocked at all that had happened so quickly, only hours before he had been safely in bed asleep.

“You know you wish to follow in my footsteps, you have been training for three years to become a Jedi knight. What have you gotten from it? Nothing. You haven’t been promoted at all. Join me and you will become a Sith. More powerful than any foolish Jedi Master, even. Your blade is in hand, take my hand, and together we will rule the galaxy.”

The man let out a blood curdling laugh. Zek couldn’t believe what he was hearing, it was almost like a dream or perhaps more like a nightmare, except, this nightmare was one you couldn’t wake up from.

The Sith extended his hand for Zek to take, now it was up to Zek to decide whether or not to take the hand.

OCC: You can start rescuing Zek now if you'd like. You can come up with the means of rescuing. But wait one more turn before actually rescuing him. Thanks.

[Dakota]

((OOC: Master Carlona's first name is Dolara. Fermire told me Master Jago's first name is Ariyana))

Master Carolna was preparing to land his ship on Ryloth.
It was essential that they stop here, even though Master Jago disagreed.

"We need to be rescuing Zek and destroying the Deth Star! Not making a pit stop on Ryloth." Yelled Ariyana angrily.
"Ariyana, Ryloth is the Death Star's first target. We are here to find out why. I am also going to request a fleet of ships to join us. Zek will be fine until then."Said Dolara. "Fine."

It had been two years since Japoka had been to Ryloth.
He had found out that he was the heir to the throne when he met his runaway twin sister for the first time while he was on a mission. Together they returned to Ryloth. His sister, Japala, had a small amount of force abilities so their parents kept her home to rule the planet when she was older. When Japoka returned, his parents tried to talk him into staying, but he missed the temple, and his master. He feared they would try again. Master Dolara landed the ship. They had been escorted to the landing platform by royal guard ships. In front of the ship was the royal navy with the royal family.

"Here goes nothing" mumbled Japoka as he walked down the ramp. "Take your light saber and cut off my Leku" Said Japala sarcastically. "My children!" Yelled Their mother, Queen Labara, as she ran to greet them. Their father, King Jarvis, was close behind.
"King Jarvis, I would like to speak with you." "Of course Master Carlona."


_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_


Three hours later, the royal family and the royal council, along with the Jedi, were in the palace throne room.

"We believe that the Empire wants to destroy Ryloth because it was once a rebel base. It is the only logical reason at this point." Said King Jarvis. "And if that is true, Naboo, Hoth, Tadak, Dantooine, and even Couricant are in trouble. Which is why this must be stopped." Said master Carlona. "I am sending all available pilots to help you destroy the Death Star." Said King Jarvis. "Is that really a good idea?" Asked an adviser. "What if they fail? How will we protect ourselves?" "I have faith in my children." Said Queen Labara. "Thank you your highness'. We must leave imminently." Said Master Carlona.

The four Jedi left the palace followed by the King and Queen.
At the landing platform there were hundreds of ships ready to take off. Queen Labara hugged her children one last time.
Master Dolara, Master Ariyana, Japoka, and Japala boarded their ship and took off. They were followed by the rest of the ships.

"They will be fine." said King Jarvis to his wife. "I-I Know"

((OOC: They will try to rescue Zek before bringing in the entire fleet. And they are going to fail their first attempt at destroying the Death Star.
Here is where I get my Star Wars names

[Fermire]

Master Jago had had enough of this waiting, she was ready to take action. The moment she was inside her space fighter, she took to the skies, disregarding the fact that she would be alone in her fight.

Master Jago traveled to the Death Star's last known location and found the unfinished ship not far away.

Flying in stealth mode, Ariyana knew the implications of taking on the mission alone. She would likely be severely reprimanded for her rash actions. But she couldn't allow the remnant to hold Zek captive any longer.

As she came closer to the Death Star, a dark presence surrounded her. It was a black energy of sorts. She shivered from the feeling. It was like nothing she had felt before and yet somehow she knew that it was a force power.

Whatever it was, however, Ariyana knew it only added to her need for urgency concerning Zek.

------------------------

Zek seemed to stand in the same position, clutching the red bladed light saber for what seemed like ages. He couldn't believe what was happening to him.

The dark robed figure across the room still held out it's hand for Zek to take.

An image flashed in Zek's head. The picture of a orange bladed light saber, his lightsaber; his father's light saber.

Shaking his head, Zek knew he couldn't even consider joining whoever the sadistical man was that stood before him.

Whoever he was, he was no friend of Zek's and certainly no friend of the Jedi's.

"I don't know who you are, but I do know that you're no friend of mine," Zek boldly asserted.

The man across the room apparently didn't like that statement at all, for he replied, "I had a feeling you would respond something similar to that, unfortunately I have already planned ahead in case that did happen. Please meet my apprentice, Darth Calamity. I am his Master, Darth Rancorous."

Suddenly, a force gripped the light saber in Zek's hand and pulled it from his grasp. He hardly had time to react, when another robed figure leaped from the shadows and sent Zek flying back wards from his use of the force.

Zek landed roughly on his back. As he struggled to get back onto his feet, he saw the robed figure coming closer to him, with his red light saber in hand.

"Zek, catch!" a voice shouted across the room. Zek looked just in time to see Master Jago throw Zek's light saber across the room as it landed in Zek's hands.

Turning on the blade, Zek braced for the dark robed figure's attack.

The figure sprang into the air and came plunging down onto Zek's blade. The impact nearly caused Zek to drop his blade then and there. Instead, Zek managed to block the blow and send another swing back in his opponent's direction.

The dark robed figure leaped over Zek and tried to bring another blow down on his head. Zek blocked the swipe just in time. The fight continued on for a few more seconds before Zek was kicked to the ground by the figure, otherwise known as Darth Calamity, and pinned to the ground by a rather large foot.

Zek tried to get up but he didn't have enough strength left.

Suddenly, Master Jago appeared behind Darth Calamity, sending a swipe across Darth Calamity's back from his left leg to his right shoulder.

Darth Calamity screamed in pain. Darth Rancorous sprang immediately into action. Sending a torrent of lightning bolts straight toward Master Jago.

Master Jago was sent flying across the room from the bolts.

No longer pinned down, Zek rushed over to his Master's current position.

"I'm alright," Ariyana said, "But we have to get out of here immediately, an attack is being launched on this place and we have to leave immediately."

[Dakota]

"I hope she knows what she is doing" Thought master Dolora.
He was fighting off small fighters while he waited for master Jago to return with Zek. This Death Star was unlike the other two.
it had a ring around it like many planets had asteroid rings around them. Master Carlona figured it was for a future force field. "Master Jago, Master Jago, do you hear me?" Said Japoka into the ship's comlink calling master Jago's ship.
"No answer." Suddenly the comlink crackled to life. Master Carlona! Master Carlona! I have Zek. Start your attack. We are trying to get out. Hurry!"

[Fermire]

Master Jago and Zek launched out of the Death Star's dock. Shots flew all around them. The ship's shield was all that was keeping them from being completely destroyed.

Master Carlona and at least a hundred other fighters zoomed past as Master Jago fled with Zek to safety.

"Are you okay, Master, you were hit hard by those bolts of lightning," Zek asked Master Jago.

"I'll live, the most important thing is that we get you away from there as quickly as possible. I sensed a great evil coming from those two men. The first man, the one that hit me with lightning, he wished to recruit you, correct?" Master Jago inquired.

"That's correct. I didn't even consider the proposition. I turned him down flat. that's why he sent that other guy onto me. Thankfully, that's when you came in."

"I'm glad the three years of training I've given you were not in vain. I'll be sure to tell Master Skywalker about this. You will be commended for your loyalty to the Jedi. But for now we must get as far away as possible from the Death Star as possible."

Master Jago continued her flight path away from the Death Star. The battle seemed to be getting more intense. Explosions seemed to abound around it.

Master Jago decided to contact Master Carlona again. They needed to know the status of the battle.

"Master Carlona, if you can hear me, I request information on the battle. How are you fairing?"

[Dakota]

"Master Jago!" Yelled Master Carlona "We are winning. I'm about to fly into thedeath star and try to destroy it!." "I shall see you..." There was a large explosion and the intercom went silent. "Master Carlona?" Said Master Jago "Master Carlona! Do you read me?"

[Fermire]

"We have to go back, we can't just sit here and do nothing." Zek said.

Master Jago was desperately trying to reach Master Carlona on the intercom, but without success.

"How many times must I remind you, it's you that they want. If we go back you'll simply be playing into their hands." Master Jago replied.

"What about Master Carlona, isn't he important enough to go back for?"

"Master Carlona knew the risks. He accepted those risks when he became a Jedi. We can't go back until it is safe." Master Jago answered.

"By then it will be too late."

"It may already be too late. I'm going to keep trying to contact him, but until further notice, we are not going an inch closer to that Death Star."

[Dakota]

"RETREAT! RETREAT!" Screamed Japoka into the intercom.
The Death Star's weapons wewr somehow opperstional and had shot down Master Carlona's ship. Japoka and Japala were leading the fleet back to Ryloth.
There was no way they could win this battle.

[Fermire]

Master Jago and Zek were ready for the reply. They had feared it ever since they had lost contact with Master Carlona.

"Japoka, Zek and I will meet you back on Ryloth. We'll regroup there." Master Jago said.

"They only said that Master Carlona's ship was shot down. We have to try and rescue him!" Zek pleaded.

"I told you before, Master Carlona knew the risks, we must do our duty and our duty right now is to stay alive. We would be decemated. If Master Carlona is alive, he'll be able to take care of himself." Master Jago said.

Zek had to force himself not to speak again. Master Jago knows best. He tried to tell himself. He only hoped that the Death Star wouldn't follow them all the way back to Ryloth.

[Dakota]

"Master Carlona! Master Carlona! Do you read me?!" Cried Japala into the intercom. All they heard was static.
They were rushing back to Ryloth. it was still a couple of hours away. The fleet was with them, but they had lost a third of them when the death star fired.
There was still no answer from Master Carlona Japoka and Japala feared the worst.

* * *

They were finally arriving on Ryloth. One of the ship's controls showed they were being followed by Star Destroyers. Japoka had to warn his parents immediately. When the ship landed Japoka saw Master Jago's ship and he could see her and Zek waiting for them. He didn't know how to tell them. He didn't know how to tell the council. He didn't know how to convince himself that he was really dead. That this wasn't a dream.

[Fermire]

Master Jago had conferred with both Master Skywalker as well as with Zek in the brief period while they were waiting for Japoka and Japala. She already informed Zek of his new duty.

Walking over to where Japoka and Japala stood, Master Jago could tell that Japoka was visibly shook up about Master Carlona's demise.

"I know this is all coming very fast for you, but I think it's better that i go ahead and tell you. I've already informed the Jedi council about your former Master's death. They were all very grieved about his death, as am I. But they also acknowledged the fact that you both do not have a Jedi Master to train under any longer. Master Skywalker was informed about Zek's bravery and courage to stand up to the Sith that we both faced while on the Death Star. It is both the council as well as my belief that Zek is now ready to become a Jedi Knight. Master Skywalker agreed as well, while the official ceremonies will have to wait for a while. Zek is now no longer my apprentice and is considered a Jedi Knight. As that is the case, I now no longer have an apprentice. The council has decided to make both you Japoka and you Japala to be my apprentice. We will begin training as soon as the current crisis is over."

[rex290]

a single warship came out of warp space in front of the three Sith Destoryers.

Rex290 looked out of the bridge of his warship and smiled "Ko, send message to the planet that the Black Raptors are here to help aid the jedi in the war against the Sith"

"sir the message has been sent waiting for a answer" said Ko.

"Si, charge the main weapons and power up the shield" ordered Rex290
