Kenshin was absent-mindedly examining a leaf of a tree native to Endor in the Gardens when he sensed it. A thread of anger, confusion, hate; it was Dark.

He swiftly made his way back to the Academy. He needed to talk to somebody, but who? The majority of the knights had taken leave for unknown reasons and so had his Master Amalia. Did the other Padwans feel it also? The message was small, but foreboding.

Kenshin turned the corner to see Ky-Vin Zurik silently enter the Counsel Room

Good, he thought, he could talk to a person like Ky-Vin who was wise beyond his years. He silently followed the other padawan into the room and saw Master Leia was there also.

Running beside his desciple Chikami knew exactly where he was going. No guessing he had been in Otah GUnga many years ago, but he remembered they all the same.

Chikami smiled as Lupercus began going thtough his various implements of destruction. Noting the array of firepower his apprentice carried.

"Well it seems that you come prepared my apprentice. THe gungans shall now know true terror. It seems that I'm a bit out-dated in my choice of weaponry, though I have always found my thermal detonators to be very effective. With the shields frozen I assume that it also means no-one can enter correct?"

Running deeper into the forest Chikami lead the way nothing would stop him.

Saber strike had been in the general orbit of the planet of theed for a week now. This was the place where she first honed her jedi skills. now as a Knight she found it was a calm in the middle of the storm of her universe. REcent journys allowed her a new ally The Pu'ti, all so known as Kas katta. He was older then he looked.

In the Forests of theed she meditates. On all that she had learned. Master Irman set out a while ago to explore the planet. He was new to the universe at large the old Nohgri master of the AIki lived out most of his life on Obrai-skai studying the ways of the AIki. Now he was free to explore the world he never knew.

A warm breeze blew a strand of her short hair into her eyes. The wind felt glorious. Space may be her home. But it still felt great to be able to visit such pleasant spheres of life.

She looked about and felt some thing. It was as if. She froze instantly. Her danger sense going nuts.

She was feeling some thing dark and familiar. Several somethings. Or some ones. She closed her eyes. One new gift of her observer training was the ability to distinguise between the many force users in the universe. By the will of the force she searches them out. She Feels light amoung the planetary sphere. But There was a faint hint...of the dark.

She Reached out and felt the local area. There was a dark place here that she knew.

Chikama was near and here on Naboo. That sith spawn that she thought she finished long ago.

She feels in another direction. Several more. But she cannot make them all out. "Vonta to the saber strike, Saber strike come in." There was nothing but static. "Saber Strike!"

She waited in silence as the wind whistled and spread the sound of static to the local vicinity. Sithspawn. She must have run aground and area of ancient mines that she had read about. She was in an area of total com white out. And in no position to warn any one of impending danger. She felt the nears darkness.

Chikama. The sith she fough once she must fight again.

And she begain treadging in the general direction of the darkness.

Irman sat admiring the city of theed. There were many references to the art of the planet of the Naboo. As a place were art met praticallity in such a way that was only matched in such places as old Allderaan.

Such a peaceful place in the force. With the light running free here. Padawans abound around him. when he visits the academy.

He looks at them and wonders if he would ever start his order again to regain it's former glory. The Old master thinks this and does a double take. He feels as if his blood just ran cold. A strong force of darkness has come to the planet. Some thing that does not mind being known.

The old Aiki is a Force master but also a master stratigist. "Dark siders attacking? They are dark force users not stupid there is no reason to come to a planet in force that is controled by our swarn enemy." He stops. "Unless you are merely the first wave for some thing else."

The old master has no time to waste Taking to a ledge that he was leaning on admiring the scenary only moments ago. He now glows with a blue aura of force energy. Empowering him self as he jumps from 15 storys above ground. landing on the dome roof of the next building and continuing. The threat must be met and met it well be.

<font color=gold>Smoke and flames.


Clouds of thick black smoke hung over the City of Theed, so large that they actually blocked out the sun. The city lay in ruins, the Sith had attacked and razed the town. The Jedi, then based in Otah Gunga, had not been able to get there in time...


It was after that horrible incident, during the reconstruction of Theed, that Leia decided to move the Jedi Order's base right into the middle of Theed. She had always known that Theed would be the main object of attack due to the Jedi presence on Naboo. However, she had vowed that such devastation would never come upon the city again.</font>


But now, entrapped in a Force vision, Leia saw before her a ravaged city. Theed lay in flames, the palace in rubble.


It was going to happen... again.


Now.


And then the vision faded... someone was standing behind her, speaking. Leia caught only part of what KyVin was saying to her.

"Trouble...?" she echoed softly, not turning to face KyVin. Instead, her finger traced a path along the transparisteel viewport, the path of a ship which had just landed in the main docking bay complex of Theed only minutes ago. She continued to stare out the viewport at the vast stretches of the city below.

"Yes... trouble from above..."

Her eyes snapped back into focus, and she crisply turned to face the Padawan, also taking note of Kenshin, who had entered and was now edging up behind KyVin.

"Both of you, come with me."

Leia walked past the two Padawans and hastily descended the stairs that led out of the tower and back into the main part of the academy building. Once she emerged from the stairwell and entered the main hallway, she turned to wait on the other two.

"I have forseen danger.

Naboo is about to be assaulted by some unknown dark force, I assume the Sith. The last time the Sith attacked, this city was completely obliterated. It cannot happen again. The citizens of Naboo do not deserve to suffer like that due to our presence here, ever again.

We must move swiftly, and deploy ourselves among the city as best we can. The Sith will probably use hit and run tactics, the best way to defend against them will be to try and second guess them. I will stay in this area of the city to keep an eye on the palace and this academy. You two should equip yourselves with all that you can carry and each pick another location of importance or high traffic in Theed that the Sith will most likely hit. Clear innocents from the area, and booby trap it. Then move on to a place where you can keep an eye on the surrounding areas. Remember, there aren't as many of us as there are likely to be them, and whoever is coming will probably have reinforcements. you must try and cover as much area as possible without overstretching yourself. I will try and scramble what military I can wring from the governments in the meantime. Now go, and alert whoever you find."

Leia turned abruptly on her heel and dissapeared down the hall, headed to her office, where she could notify the Republic and the government of Naboo, as well as gather her things, since she basically lived out of her office.

What if my vision is wrong?

Kenshin and KyVin felt something, but perhaps it was mere coincidence.

An overreaction wouldn't hurt us too bad...

Besides, I am certain the Sith have come to take back Naboo. I know them too well.

Let them come...

I will be waiting.

Perrin had left Darth Snack and the robed figure in haste, taking a rare pleasure at the uninterrupted haste with which he employed to reach the city of Theed.


Or at least the outskirts of it.


His teacher, Malice, had taught him to use his emotions to channel his powers..which in principle he knew, but it was Malice that forced him to evaluate which emotion would work on him.



Desire...


He stretched out his awareness and found a rising level of anxiety...growing... evolving...atempting to pull a pattern out of the whispers of the wind..



Civilians were on the move.... but the Jedi were few in number...and Theed was a large city..


Did the Jedi feel they were safe putting their "temple" in the heart of the city's population?


Perrin watched as civilians were coming back into the city...and walked out among them..


He laughed out loud startling some..


Fools. Do they not realize their disadvantage?



He ignited his black blade and swung it around slicing a passerby's head open.


Sreams were suddenly heard and people began to run away in panic.

Having placed himself in the middle of the crowd, those behind him began to run faster towards the city while those in front of him (as he faced them, his back to the city) turned and ran away from Theed.


Several tried to put a brave front up by holding some sort of weapons but Perrin knelt down and picked up a piece of the fallen head.


Throwing it towards those "brave" souls, he felt their resolve crumble.


The Jedi were stupid. By setting their presence in the heart of the city, it became a constant reminder of what powers the Jedi possessed and what powers the people did not.


Perrin smiled.


After a while, a person begins to unconsciously fear that power...



Using superior ability, he ran after a few and began swinging his blade..


The fear was palatable and Perrin hungered.




He suddenly stopped his action, tried a simple masking technique and moved off to another group of houses several miles out, in the outskirts of Theed...



The perception of anxiety grew to a frenzied level and Perrin knew something had begun...



Many will die before this day is over...

"Yes, not even a sabre will be able to penatrate it due to its composition as sheild and solvent. And if they did, the city would flood, killing all non gungans as well as some who were too young and would panic, causing hyperasphyxiation.

Thusly, we must get inside before the timers go off. Otherwise my trap will be pointless.

The running had continued for another 10 minutes when they stopped. Reaching into his pocket, Lupercus pulled out a small breathing aparatus, similiar to the ones used by Kenobi and Jin when they first arrived on Naboo and entered the City.

Nodding to his master he placed it near his mouth before remembering something.

"You take the top, i'll do the bottom. 5 minute timers, don't start the attack til you hear screams, then the bombs will have gone off, and everyone will be sealed inside!"

With a grin, he placed the breather in his mouth, and dived into the clear blue water of Naboo...

OOC: Ken, travel together?

IC:
Ky-Vin couldn't really think. There was no time for it. Ordinarily, someone placed in his position would lose control, panic, and fail. But the Jedi had the Force to depend upon.

The Force has brought me here, and I shall trust the Force, he thought to himself.

Ky-Vin hurried from the Temple and its grounds. He moved into the city of Theed. "Get indoors! It's not safe outside. Get inside and you will be safe." he told anyone within earshot. Was he lying to them? Would they be alright? He would do all that he could to make it so.
He hoped that Master Leia was rallying support. The Gungans had an army, the Jedi would need their help.

Ky-Vin made his way to the city entrance. Fewer and fewer people were found in the streets. He could sense their anxiety permeating the air like a thick fog. Ky-Vin followed his instincts, moving through alleys and side-streets where he hoped to find a better vantage point.

OOC: Sure.

IC:

Kenshin followed Ky-Vin into the city. Using the Force, he ran at top speed shouting the same message. But was it really safe here in the city at all? Wouldn't it have been better if the citizens were moved to the jungles where they could spread out? A feeling of dread creeped onto the padawan. By keeping the people in the city might be helping the enemy.

Kenshin's mind raced for options. They needed more Jedi to defend the city, but that was a dead end. Their numbers were very few. Maybe more Lightsiders. That would definitely be a plus. But where to find more?

The force signitures are followed up to the edge of the waters of a vast body of liquid H2'0 the dark force users left to the depths of the sea. Vonta was prepared to dive today at some point but it seemed rather soon.

She pulled from her belt a rebreather unit to allow her to process the oxygen from the water. From there she walked into the depths. Floating about tracing the dark force signatures. Sea life of all shapes and sizes pas her by. She fools some of the larger predatory animals into seeing her as empty water. Gliding past them she sees in the distance a ambiant light. The closer she got she saw a series of dome complexes. She had heard of some of the under sea gungan citys. This was one of them obviously.

Coming to what looked like a welcoming portal she passes into the city.

All about her she hears the gungans talking in their strange dialect of basic. She feels the sith in the distance but can not feel where they are specifically.

Going to one of the nearest guards with a force pike she addresses him. "Guard." she states.

"Whatsa Usa Wan'tin." He spouts at her in a irritated tone.

"I am a jedi and I have need to speak with your leader." She states matter of factly.

The gungan does a double take. His eyes going wide. For some reason or another. "You'sa be Maxi big Jedi? why nosa sayin so in first place. Follows Mesa."
