<font color=gold>" A being cannot shed his past, as much as he'd like to, history is like a stray, it will never leave"



<font color=white>Ren's eyes opened abruptly as the young Padawan came crashing down with an almighty thud on the floor, interrupting his meditation. Visibly shaken, the young Janggar stumbled to his feet and dusted himself off.

<font color=lime>"What in the name of Naboo was that?"<font color=white> Said Ren in a somewhat state of disbelief. Unbeknownst to him, Ren had just experienced his first telepathic outing with the force, one of many.

The thought was so powerful that it had knocked Ren six feet, clean away from his meditation chair. Somewhat dishevelled, Ren staggered over to the sink and bathed his face in the cool blue water that was collecting in the crystal basin below. Ren glanced up into the mirror asking himself a question.

<font color=lime>"What the heck have I got myself into."

<font color=white>Laughing it off, ren walked over to a panel and flicked on a light-switch that brought some much needed light to his quarters. Fiddling with the brightly coloured buttons on the panel activated a comm channel to the reception downstairs.

<font color=lime>"Uh, what time is it?"<font color=white> Ren said, as if waking up from a deep trance.

<font color=pink>"It's 09:40 sir"<font color=white> replied the uppity receptionist.

<font color=lime>"Damn!! I'm late."<font color=white> realized Ren. Janggar switched off the comm, grabbed his gear and leapt out the apartment in one swift motion.

*

Through the trees in the dense forests of Yavin IV, a figure was rustling. A dark shadow darted and dodged in and out of the sunlight filled spaces in the treetops almost too fast for the naked eye.

Crashing down in the dense Jungle mud with an audible SPLAT, Klango Jabroo howled into the sky with Glee.
<font color=orange> "Whoooooohoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!" <font color=white>

The young Gungan was obviously excited as he made his way towards the Massassi temple. However Klango headed there not for training but to meet up with an old friend he hadn't seen in three years.
Klango could sense his old pal, Ren Janggar was close by, and so he began to skip if not gallop faster towards his destination.
Soon enough Klango bounded out of the thick forest and was in the presence of the Great Temple.

Spotting his Gungan friend, Ren Janggar raised his hands high in the air, motioning towards Klango.

<font color=orange>"Rennie!!! Ren!!!! Me'sa so happy to be'sa seein you!!"<font color=white>
Klango grabbed his friend in a hug that would put a wookie to shame.

Ren, overcome with joy at seeing his old buddy replied
nonetheless,
<font color=lime>"Klango Jabroo, what strange celestial force brought you back into my life." <font color=white>Joked Ren. <font color=lime>"How long has it been?"

<font color=orange>"Too'sa long, me'sa missed you!" <font color=white>Klango replied.
<font color=orange>"Me'sa hearing you'sa training for sa Jediship."

<font color=lime>"Likewise Klango. Hey where can two buddies go to catch up on old times?"

<font color=orange>"Me'sa now this place called the Yavin Tavern, they's sell the bestest fishies!"<font color=white>said Klango.

<font color=lime>" Last time we talked you said no more fish!" <font color=white>Ren said sarcastically as the two walked off to find a transport.
However the beautiful glint in the midday sun masked the true, dishonest intentions that hung in the air that day. An evil presence hung in the air , the presence was in the trees, the presence had a double barrelled blaster rifler slung over it's shoulder, this presence waited and watched until the two young padawans sped off into the distance before hailing his commander.

<font color=red>"Boss"<font color=white> said the voice <font color=red>"you're about to become the happiest man in the galaxy, I think I've found them. Shall I pursue?"

<font color=white>A dark, heavy voice came over the comm channel, <font color=purple>"Yes, follow them, when you have confirmation that they have the object in their possession, go ahead and eliminate them."<font color=white>

*

<font color=white>09:00 hours, planetary monitoring control on Yavin IV, a young officer sat staring at a bright view screen, apparently puzzled as to what he saw.

<font color=yellow>"What the hell is that?"<font color=white> The officer said to himself before calling over his superior, the chief, a small bulbous, balding man who came sauntering over.
<font color=yellow>"Sir, I think I've got something here."

<font color=white>The chief waddled up to the officer and said,
<font color=green>"explain to me what something is exactly?"

<font color=yellow>"well sir . . .it's, it's a . . ." <font color=green>"what Son!!!"<font color=white> Intterupted the chief <font color=green>"Out with it boy!"

<font color=yellow>"Well sir I keep getting this fluctuating energy signature on the far side of the planet Yavin."

<font color=green>"Boy, can you say meteor shower, sheesh! call me over when you get something bigger than just a blip."

<font color=yellow>"Well sir,thats the thing, this is bigger than any blip I've ever seen."

<font color=green>"What?! How big!!"

<font color=white>The officer takes a deep breath and says <font color=yellow>" Approximately 450 metres!"

<font color=green>"My God!! Dispatch a patrol, Now dammit!!!!"

*

<font color=white>09:20 hours and Captain Traigon stared over his pilots of the Starflare Squadron. A briefing was in progress.

<font color=red>"Twenty minutes ago," <font color=white>The captain stated<font color=red> ", planetary control reported a faint, fluctuating energy signature in the upper atmosphere of the planet Yavin. Now this 'object' may only be a random phenomena" <font color=white>said the cocky captain with a snigger.

<font color=red>", now,we have been asked to check it out. I know many of you aren't happy for being called from shore leave for this, but the sooner we get it done the sooner you can get back to lounging in the entertainment district. Get to your ships."

<font color=white>The pilots shuffled off to their fighters muttering and wondering why they have been pulled from shore leave to check out a sensor Ghost.

*

<img src=http://www.starwars.ndo.co.uk/episodes4-6/x-wing.jpg>
09:30 the roaring engines of the Starflare X-wings sped over the Yavin horizon in search of the 'blip' causing all the commotion.

Over the Intercom, Captain Traingon's voice sounded, <font color=red>"Keep tight, even if this is a glitch, we still have a job to do. Stay alert people."

<font color=blue>"Alpha four reporting sir, we are coming up on the coordinates . . .now."

<font color=red>"I don't see nothin'"<font color=white> responded Captain Traigon rather ignorantly. <font color=red>"Damn planetary control, they so much as sneeze on a monitor they think a whole damn invasion fleet is on the way . . . hold on a sec . . . I'm getting a massive energy pulse . . . wait . . .what the hell . . . Oh God NO!!!!NO!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAARRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"


<font color=white>Captain Traigon's voice deadened, fading off into the void of space.

*

09:32. Meanwhile at the Control rooms a garbled transmission came through. <font color=blue>"I repeat . . . Heavily armed . . . several pilots gone . . .can't penetrate shields . . .request reinf . . . aaaaaaaaaeeeee!!!!!!!!

<font color=white>The young officer slumped into his chair, in his head wishing he'd never had reported the anomaly in the first place.

<font color=yellow>"I've lost it sir." <font color=white>said the officer.

<font color=green>"Well get it back!!"

<font color=yellow>"I can't sir, it's gone, they're gone."

<font color=green>"Good God, send out a distress signal to all neighbouring capital navy ships,"

<font color=yellow>"Sir, all Jedi navy ships are on call in other sectors, there's no one to send a distress call to. Sir what shall I do?"

<font color=green>" . . ."

<font color=yellow>"Sir!!!???"


<font color=green>"Eh, call an emergency meeting, now !!"

Kas Katta sat in his E-wing far out from the moon of Yavin 4. He should be able to get some good 'vids of jedi here.

He sighed, and tried to streach. He was going to have to get a bigger ship one of these days, but the E-wing was fast and nimble, and had gotten him through many a tight corner. A light blipped on his console.

Kas listened to the whole communication with interest. His sensors didn't show anything, but that didn't mean much. Putting power into the engines, shields and weapons Kas began to prepare for a micro jump. Ships usualy don't just blow up, so there must be somthing on the surface that was causing this commotion. Maybe a gravity generator like the ones in the corillia system (in your dreams kas)

OOC: You wanted somone to post so bad it the ooc forum, so I posted.

[edit] - Dang, I just noticed that it is an RJO thread. Do you mind?

(ooc: I don't mind at all. The ROJ part just meant that it centres around the Order, anyone can r/p really. Thanks for posting.OH and for everyone else that's reading this, I had KLango's permission to use him.)

IC:


<font color=white>Ren and Klango had caught a small personel bus which swung by the bar they were looking for. One thier way they spotted several emergency crews pass by followed by men who appeared to be decked out in military regalia. Ren and Klango could only fathom as to what was going on.

The bus pulled up outside the Yavin Tavern, a brightly lit sushi bar that contained all the delicacies of the many oceans of Yavin IV. Klango sped up the steps ahead of Ren in anticipation of the aquatic wonders that awaited him.

<font color=orange>"Moy moy, that'sa smell be tantalizin' me'sa taste buds. Let'sa go eat!!!

<font color=lime>" Alright alright, keep your ears on!"

<font color=white> On reaching the door the pair where met with a huge explosion which vapourised the restuarant and threw Klango and Ren 20 feet into the air. Htting the ground uncerimoniously, Ren and Klango looked up in shock as the Yavin Tavern errupted in a ball of flame.

Ren reached into his belt and pulled out a communicator, but before he could speak a green blaster bolt shot the device clean from his hand.

The pair looked up into the trees but saw nothing suddenly a voice spoke out.

<font color=purple>" Klango Jabroo and Ren Janggar, I have a bounty for you by order of Golgan the Hutt, if you surrender now I won't kill you, If you resist I will have no other Choice but to terminate you.

<font color=white> Both Klango, Ren and the Bounty hunter knew that neither would leave without a fight.

The young padawans drew thier Lightsabers and got ready for a fight, neither Jedi where as skilled as Rogue Master Giren as swordsmen but the bounty hunter didn't know that.

The voice spoke out again,<font color=purple> "I guess you have chosen termination then, so be it."

<font color=white> Suddenly a hail of blaster bolts came raining down on the pair.Ren and Klango deflected several bolts back into the trees sparking a small fire.

The firing ceased.

A figure dropped down from the trees just a few metres away form Klango and Ren. The figure could be seen cleanly now, a tall cloaked man , with locks of whispy white hair down to his shoulder's. he spoke softly to Ren.

<font color=purple>"Who would have thought the three of us would ever meet up again, I've been looking forward to killing the two of you for a very long time."

<font color=white> The bounty Hunter tapped on a small wrist interface.Suddenly a swarm of weeqauy came out of the trees surrounding the Padawans. Overhead small lambda class shuttle decloaked overhead and set down behind them.

<font color=purple> You're impossibly outnumbered my friends, it would be wise not to resist.

<font color=white> Ren motioned to Klango to put down his saber.

<font color=lime> "This isn't over,I'll get you for this."

<font color=purple> "Quite the contrary my friend, I think you'll find this is the end of the line for the pair of you."

<font color=white> The weequey put Ren and Klango in binder cuffs and led them aboard the Hunter's ship. Dengro Mangar smiled wickidly before getting back on his ship, after four years her had finally caught his prize.


The Lamba shuttle lifted off, swiftly deploying it's cloak so as not to be noticed by flight control, not that they would notice, after all they where too busy dealing with this morning's little incident.

OOC No problem

IC

Kas tweaked his control yolk, and moved in on the area that the unfortunate ships had been destroyed. His com crackled, and spit out the standard "leave now or be vaporized" crap. Like they knew what had happened.

Turning, he started to decend towards the planet.

Suddenly and without warning his extended com antenna snapped. His R2 began to squeel, and Kas wipped the ship around, searching the sky and his sensors for the thing that had destoryed his antenna.

Nothing. No micro comets, or ships. Nothing...but wait.

Beep, begin a sensor sweep in the direction that the antenna bent before it broke. I am picking up some slight ionization in a line, and wish to make sure that it isn't from the detonations of the ships

His R2 replied that the ionization trales and the bending antenna matched.

ok, plug in and boost the shortrange scanners...let's follow this trail.

At the back of his memory Kas remembered somthing like this happening to a close Friend once before...

OOC: I hope you don't mind me picking your ship up. Unless TRF has gotten some new teck, SW cloaks cloak both you, and block you from seeing. If you wish to chat about this RP, my AIM is my Name...

(OOC:wish i could chat to u on aim, got a macintosh u see and the aim download is busted on aol.com, i have yahoo and msn if ued like? Also the shuttle i'm in didn't destroy the fighters, it will dock with the mother ship that is orbiting yavin. u'll find out about that soon.)

Ok, I d/l'ed Yahoo. Kas_Katta is my name.
yes, I knew that your shuttle didn't kill those fighters, so I'll just have Kas follow it.

<font color=white> The rooms of Yavin IV's planetary control were a stark contrast to a few hours ago. Now they were simply buzzing with activity. Scientists and flight specialists crowded the room in a vain effort to figure out what had happened to the Starflare Squadron over Yavin.

The confusion was such that no-one noticed the Lamba shuttle that had breifly decloaked on the surface.


*

Ren Janggar slowly began to regain consiousness. Glancing to his right, in the next cell , he could see his friend Klango chained to the wall, still a bit out of it.

<font color=lime>"Pssst, Klango, hey, buddy!!" Ren Whispered, but there was no answer, the young Gungan was out cold.

The cell bay doors opened sharply and in walked Dengro Mangar accompied by a heavily armed pair of Gamoreean Gaurds.


Ren struggled to break free from his restraints but was met with an electrical shock.

<font color=purple> "It's no use, you can't escape. What you just experienced was a mild electric charge, the harder you try to struggle the worse the charge, so I suggest you don't squirm any further.

<font color=white>Ren promptly stopped moving.

<font color=lime>"What, do you want with us!?" <font color=white>Ren Demanded.

<font color=purple>" Don't play coy with me, you know perfectly well what I want, after all you stole it from my master.
The stone of Golgan! Where have you hidden it!

<font color=lime>"I don't know what you're talking about."

<font color=white>Dengro reached into his cloak and pulled out a small handset. He pointed the device in Klango's direction. Pressing on the button, the chains holding Klango let out an immense electrical charge, awaking the Gungan and making him howl in pain.

<font color=lime>"Stop it!! You'll kill him!!!!!"

<font color=purple> "Save your friend, tell me where the Stone is!!!!!"

<font color=lime>"I . . ."

<font color=white>Suddenly a voice broak out on the Intercom,

<font color=yellow>"Captain Mangar, Master Goglan request's you presence on the command deck."

<font color=white> Dengro sneered at the ill-timed message but complied nonetheless.

<font color=purple>"I'm on my way."
"Don't think for a second that this will save you Janggar, I will be back."
<font color=white>

*

Captain Mangar arrived on the command deck as his master commanded.

<font color=purple>"What is it master Golgan" <font color=white>Said the captain.

Golgan the Hutt sat in the center of the bridge, overseeing all the operations, like a huge fat centerpeice to an evil mantlepeice.

<font color=red> "Captain, you did make sure to hide all traces your ship didn't you?"

<font color=purple>"why yes master"<font color=white>Snivelled Dengro.

<font color=red> "Then would you kindly tell me why there is an E-wing following you Damned Ion Trail!!!!!!!!!! <font color=white> Snapped the Hutt.

<font color=purple>"Sir I . . .I don't know how they could have followed us, my men masked our trail so that we wouldn't be seen."

<font color=red>"You obviously didn't mask it well enough!! Go and deal with it now personally!!!!!!!!"<font color=white>Said Golgan, furiously.

Captain Mengar, shamefully made his way off the bridge thinking he would gain some redemption later in the from of Ren and Klango's torture.

*

Three 1-7 Howlrunners led by Captain Mengar exited the Goliath's Hanger bay,with the Goliath stilled cloaked it looked as though they had appeared as if form nowhere.

<font color=purple>" Don't let this one get away!"

OOC: IF you are cloaked, no one can see you, and you cant see me. SW cloaks are like that.

Kas's R2 beeped and warbled. The Ion trail was deminishing. Not from time, but somone was cutting it off. The R2 squeeled...

Sithspit. Three Howlies had appeared out of know where.

Looks like we have a cloaked ship on our hands, better jack into the weapons systems, I can handle the sensors

Kas armed his proton torpedo launcher. He was now glad of the full bank

Lock on and let two go for each ship, at ten second intervals, and prepare a third round.

Kas fired up the three heavy blasters, and began to paint the sky red, while his R2 managed the torps.

The first two out went for the ship on the right, and the second scored a direct hit.

Great! shields down

The second and third ships freaked out when they saw the 4 proton torps heading their way. The space vaccume was filled with blaster bolts, and the point ship was taking heavy dammage, while the now shiel-less ship was running for his life, persued by the first torp.

r2, send the two swarmers toward where the fighters popped out, lets see if 86 mini missles will make them sweat.


The R2 warbled in responce, and let out a squak as the third fighter let the E-wing have it in the rear.

Backing up the rear shields, hold on!

OOC: Is it alright if these fighters bite the dust?

(OOC:destroy all but two fighters cos Dengro Mangar the bounty hunter is piloting one, he is to live.
Oh and I'll make up an excuse for the cloak later, I hope.)

IC:

Dengro's sensors beeped out furiously ,detecting the barrage of tropedoes and missles heading in his directon.


<font color=purple>"arm your lasers and ," <font color=white> But before he could finish, two proton torpedos struck his fighter almost knocking out his sheild generators, two more volleys pummeled his wingmen into submission after chasing them off.

The e-wing then let out a payload mini-missles in the Goliath's direction. Little did the pilot know what he was getting into.

The swarmers struck the cloaked object with considerable force causing a disruption in the cloak sending blue bolts of energy, crackling all over the hull. The cloak began to dissapate as the ship was finally revealed.

Uncloaking in the glow of the Yavin sun, a 450 meter long Lorinor Strike Cruiser loomed out over the surface of Yavin, casting a formiddable shadow over Kas Katta's tiny X-wing.

<img src=http://www.fallenjedi.com/ships/sc.jpg>



Sitting on the bridge of the Goliath, Golgan the Hutt grinned maniacally.

<font color=red> "Recall the probes, we no longer need them to act as our sensors now that we are decloaked. Now it seems our little friend here has decided to fire on us, let us give him something that wil give him a little more of a fight, release the Swarm."

<font color=white> The goliath's landing bay glowed white, opening to the Heavens as twenty Hornet Interceptor's poured out the hanger.

Limping back to the mothership, Dengro said <font color=purple> "Chew on this , you scum!"

<font color=white>Even if he was never one to run, Kas Katta saw the odds where against him. He turned his E-wing around and sped off into the lower atmosphere of the Red gas giant, Yavin, maybe he could pull off a few manouvres in there?

ooc:Anyways don't mind me if I crash the party. i'll try not to screw it up to bad. I'll just be along for the ride.btw my MSN is chur4855@hotmail.com

ic:Corran had heard the frantic comm messages from the downed fighters. He checked his senser board as he zoomed over the Great Temple.
"Hmm. It looks like I'm the closest. Alright I'm going in" he
thought.
With that he heeled his starfighter over to the port so far the he did a roll and then he punched the thrusters.Just a second ago he'd been about to investigate a blip on his senser screen that was about the size of a E-Wing. As his X-Wing approached the spot where th last frantic calls from the X-Wing pilots had been heard he began to receive warning messages from the Senser Station.

"Unidentified Rogue Jedi Order X-Wing please turn around. You are entering dangerous space. I repeat unidentified RJO X-Wing please turn around." camm the call full of static over his comm

With a disgusted snarl Corran slapped the comm off and began to fly towards the spot up ahead he could see what looked like a flickering shadow almost as if somebody was using a faulty holoprojection table. But then as he entered the firing range of the ship it opened up on him.

"Stang." he swore. "Q9 divert all power to forward shields. We're going in."

With that Corran fell deep into the force sending his ship juking this way and that as only a Force strong jedi can. Not a single bolt hit him though a few grazed his shields but they were reinforced quite quickly suddenly just as he got close in on the large capital ship he felt an explosion. He felt fear from 2 jedi but he also felt the deaths of the other people not so lucky he was distracted looking around for the explosion when he got hit. It was a nice solid blow to this forward shield that took out his shields and damaged the main drive system. All that he had left was miminal control. Suddenly the guns stopped firing and he was jerked by a tractor beam. He had only a couple of seconds to hide himself.
