STAR WARS THE JEDI RESISTANCE(IC)

[New Emphillon]

The Stormtroopers standing guard of the temple were taken aback to see a Jedi appear out of thin air, but that quickly passed. The fear was replaced by adrenaline and a bit of anger for hearing such a blatant lie.
"Open fire," the lead trooper ordered and the troopers began to fire upon the spirit of Master Deno, unaware that the Jedi was already dead. One of the stormtroopers called for back up to arrive at the temple.
"We have a Jedi on site and there could possibly be more," he said over his comms. "We need reinforcements to check the ruins for any more."
The trooper turned to see his fellow clones firing large volleys of blaster fire from their DC-15 rifles, with no effect on the Jedi. "You might want to bring a couple walkers and a gunship, too," he added.
"Copy that, trooper," an officer replied. "ETA for the reinforcements will be ten minutes. Hold out until then."
"Roger that, Palace. Temple Guard out." The trooper cut the comms and rushed to join his allies in the death of the Jedi spectre.

Deno used the force to crush the barrels of the stormtroopers guns. He then watched them explode in their faces. The last deno used mind force tricks to make the stormtrooper contact the empirial forces and cancel the request.

[New Emphillon]

The explosions knocked many of the stormtroopers off their feet and onto their backs or stomachs, either dead or unconscious. The surviving stormtrooper, under the influence of Master Deno, contacted the Imperial Palace to cancel the request for reinforcements.
"The Jedi was dealt with, sir," the trooper stated as if it were a fact. "We already have a squad patrolling the inside of the temple for any further Jedi, but for now, everything is quiet again."
"Very well, trooper," the officer on the other end replied. "The reinforcements will be brought back to base, but I am still going to send two HAET-221s to scan the site from the air. How copy?"
The trooper strained under the Jedi Master's will, but was able to say, "I copy, sir." The trooper's mind suddenly went blank and his vision blackened. The trooper hit the ground, dead.

[Pantorrum]

Deno spoke to the Jedi-
"The stormtroopers are delt with, but you must quickly get to the bottom floor. There is not time to mourne, or you may be mourned."

[New Emphillon]

Krass heard the message and nodded in agreement. He turned to Master Cosmos. "So where do we go from here?"

[The United Empire of Exucular]

"Very much, many of those cut down died defending the temple. Many of those defenders were children. Children." Master Cosmos frowned before returning to a calm demeanor . "We cannot however linger on this for to long. This is not the time for mourning. We have to retrieve the holocron Master Deno has told us to retrieve."

"Master Deno has told me that at the end of the gran entrance. There will be a force sensitive door with an elevator on the inside. We have to cut through it and reach the lowest level. I'll explain more once we get there."

[New Emphillon]

"Very well, then. Let's proceed," Krass said. The group proceeded down the grand hallway towards the elevator shafts. Upon reaching the elevators, Krass sensed for the elevator shaft that held the elevator Master Deno told the Jedi about. He found it quickly and ignited his lightsaber, its yellow blade extending beyond the hilt to its full length. Krass carved a large circle into the elevator doors and pushed the metal out of the way to allow the group to proceed. He gestured the women through first, then he proceeded through, followed by Cosmos. Once inside, Krass did the same thing as he had with the doors and with a kick, the circle of elevator plating fell into the depths of the temple's elevator shafts.
He deactivated his lightsaber and scanned the shaft with the Force for anything that might help him in his decent to the designated level. Luckily, he found several footholds in the walls lining the shaft and informed the group of his findings. Knowing what to go for, Krass leapt through the hole and grabbed the nearest object he could and placed his feet into the footholds and began his decent.

Master Cosmos was the last one to begin the descent. As they steadily but quickly began to lower themselves further he looked up on occasion to make sure nothing was looking back at them. While watching his footing he would occasionally look past his body and look at the group to make sure they were doing alright. That's when he noticed Celeste. He didn't say anything while they were above ground because he wanted to stay quit but he decided to ask.

He directed his voice down to Celeste. "Excuse me, My name is Master Kyle Cosmos, I don't believe we've met?"

As Celeste proceeded down the elevator shaft, she heard Cosmos introduction. "We never met before this. I'm Celeste Morne," she replied. Krass could see the elevator doors that the group needed to go through by this point. It was another two hundred feet below. Not impossible, Krass thought and continued to climb down as fast as he could while keeping a good grip on the hand and foot holds.

[The United Empire of Exucular]

"Nice to meet you." Could she be the being we rescued? I will ask later. He thought.
Now that the group knew what they were doing they began to descend quicker to the bottom floor. Master Cosmos continued to look up every few seconds to make sure they weren't being followed. Soon the group would find the door that led to the vault. From there the force will test them to see if they were just. How he did not know but what he did know was that it might now be easy.

[Pantorrum]

Deno appeared to the Jedi.
"My friends, be mindful. The force, it will infiltrate your mind and know everything about you, everything you have done. It will assess even that of which you have not yet done and evrything you have forgotten. You must, on the scales of justice, lean towards the light. The force has no bias, and will not parden you for being a jedi. If you do not know you are just in the eyes of the just, then do not go through those doors, or you will be struken down in an instant after the force has analized you. And remember, DO NOT GO BACK OUT THROUGH THE TEMPLE! Go through the Coruscaunt Works to the few blocks away from the senate. The force will guide you back to your frigate. All the while, all of you must use your force to cover up the holocrons powerful signature, or The Emperor and Vader will know it has moved."

[The United Empire of Exucular]

"Understood Master Deno." Master Cosmos said. The group was nearly there. 80ft separated them from the door to the hallway.

[New Emphillon]

The last eighty feet went by quickly and Krass was soon using his lightsaber to cut through the double doors. The chunk of metal Krass cut out landed with a loud thud in the hallway and Krass led the group through the door. Everyone proceeded in, except Celeste. Krass frowned and told the group to proceed while he spoke to Celeste. Maris nodded and went on ahead.
Krass turned back to Celeste. "What is wrong," he asked.
"Karness is the problem," Celeste stated flatly, with a hint of anger in her voice.
"Do you think he could be a problem during the trial?" Celeste nodded.
"The Sith lord that curses me will force me to fail the trial and I am unsure as to what will happen if I fail," she said as she looked down at the talisman. "I'm afraid he might make me turn you into those... monsters."
Krass shook his head. "He has as much to lose if you fail as any of us," he explained. "If he fails you, he'll die in the process and I'm sure he will not want that to happen."
"I never know with him," Celeste whispered. She raised her head so that both of the Jedis' eyes met. "You should have left me to die on that forsaken moon."
"I won't ignore the Force. It hasn't abandoned you, Celeste, no matter what you think or say. And I won't abandon you, either. Not now, not in the future." Krass extended his hand. "Now will you come with me?"
Celeste analyzed Krass with her eyes (and possibly the Force) for a moment, then she took the offered hand. Krass pulled her up through the hole in the doors. Krass gave her a grin, something he didn't give lightly. Celeste returned the smile. The two Jedi walked in silence to meet up with Maris and Cosmos.

[Pantorrum]

Deno sensed the young girls emotions and appeared to her in her mind.
"Young lady, you are a good person. I sense great things from you. The force will know that this Sith has plaqued you. The force will not hold it against you, but him. You will pass the test."

"Young lady, you are a good person. I sense great things from you. The force will know that this Sith has plaqued you. The force will not hold it against you, but him. You will pass the test."

I hope I will, Celeste thought in reply. Suddenly, Celeste felt a chill next to her right. She knew who it was before she even turned to look. Karness Muur walked next to Celeste and began to speak with her.
"Why must you waste your time with these meddling Jedi," he sneered.
"I waste more time speaking with you. Now be gone, Karness," Celeste ordered, knowing it wouldn't work.
"Why must you continue to resist," Karness insisted. "Do you not see, Morne? The Sith rule the galaxy now and we can ensure that the Sith's rule is eternal! That is your destiny, Morne! Embrace it!"
"Never," Celeste shot back, shouting at a figure that only she could see. Krass was taken aback by the intensity of the response. He didn't know if he should intervene and if so, then how.
"You cannot escape it, Jedi," Karness growled. "You will aid in the Sith's rule of this galaxy, whether I force you to or not!"
Celeste tried with every fiber of her being to force the spirit back into its talisman so that she could continue on without having to listen to this dribble. Karness did disappear after a few moments of effort. Celeste just continued to walk, panting as she did.
"Are you ok," Krass asked.
"We need to hurry," Celeste replied, picking up her pace a bit.

[Pantorrum]

Deno could sense the siths presence before it left. "Next time he appears, i will confront him."

[New Emphillon]

OOC: Btw guys, Decius is trying to get back into the thread and he's been bugging me about letting him back in. I want your opinions. As you all remember, Decius was banned from this thread for godmodding a couple weeks back. After finding out I was the new OP, he has sent me multiple telegrams about letting him back in. He claims that he will have only about a handful of vessels and about 5,000 clone troopers, plus he will still be in command of Geonosis and Mon Calamari. He also states that his character will be Arklight's padawan and that he will conduct hit and run attacks on the Empire until I say otherwise. His droid army and anything related is shut down. He also claims that he will control himself. What do you guys think? Should I let him back in? I say no.
IC: Very well, Master Jedi, Celeste replied. I will accept that offer.

[The United Empire of Exucular]

Master Cosmos heard the commotion behind him. He quickened his steps to the vault. The others doing the same.

[Pantorrum]

Deno appeared to the group in front of the vault.
"Move quickly, time is short."
He used the force and opened the doors to reveal a clear plasma shield. Deno walked through it, and it turned blue. He had made it. If it turned red, you were dead. He sensed the force rummaging through his memories, and judged him well onto the side of the light.

[The United Empire of Exucular]

Master Cosmos went next. "Here goes nothing."

He walked through the shield and felt its effects . He felt as if someone was sifting through his head like a file cabinet. Its contents being checked and pondered over at lightning speed. The force buzzing within making a note of his experiences and memories. Things he has forgotten and things he will remember. A minute past with this feeling. Master Cosmos trying not to make any movement as he did not know the effect.
He turned blue. He sighed in relief.

[Pantorrum]

Deno smiled at him on the other side.
"Now you are pure. We must wait for the other. The Holocron is behind me on a pedistool.

Funny

[The United Empire of Exucular]

Master Cosmos turned around to look at it. The object that could help restore the Order. He did not know exactly what exactly lay inside it but he knew it was a treasure trove of information.

OOC: above post. LOL.

[New Emphillon]

Krass and Celeste met with the two Jedi that rushed back to find out what the commotion was about.
"Our objective is this way," Krass said, gesturing forward.
"What happened," Maris asked, holding a small blaster pistol in her right hand. That made Krass remember to take Maris to Illum to build her first lightsaber. It was about time anyway.
"I'll explain later," was Krass's response as he and Celeste proceeded to the vault. Upon seeing the plasma shield and how Deno had survived, the group decided who was going to go next.
"I'll go," Krass said and proceeded to the shield, knowing that if he didn't pass, he would be vaporized instantly. He pushed the thought away and used the Force to calm himself. There is no emotion; there is peace, Krass thought, reciting one of the elements from the Jedi Code that he learned when he was but a youngling. He proceeded through the shield.
Krass felt an odd feeling in his mind, as if something were sifting through its contents like a librarian droid looking for a specific text to give to a librarian. And it felt like there were hundreds of librarian droids floating about his mind, picking through all of his memories, thoughts and emotions (the few that he had over the years) from the past 34 years of his existence. Krass thought that he was going to feel the stinging wrath of the plasma field after he thought the Force found out about his feelings towards Celeste (I do not love her, Krass argued with himself), but the shield turned blue and he joined Cosmos. Maris and Celeste arrived shortly afterwards. They all sighed with relief.

OOC: That's hilarious. I love Obi-Wan and Anakin's reaction to Yoda's new look. Priceless.
