Star Wars: The Second Clone Wars

Raine & Ocampo

"Let me get this straight, business has slowed down around Coruscant, you know, a place that's relatively safe from people who will either attack or try to recruit us, and you want to go to a planet where skirmishes frequently break out?"

Dark crimson eyes glanced across the cockpit of the ship, meeting the wide blue eyes of the pilot.

"Sounds about right. We both know that a place like that has for us."

The co-pilot gave her best eye roll.

"A big fight and lots of quarreling bolts and clones?"

The young blonde woman seemed to grow enthusiastic all at once in her one word reply;

"Exactly!"

A palpable sigh escaped her lips as the red-headed woman sank back into the seat.

"Do you really think that the Republic and the CIS are just going to stop by and do some friendly shopping and repair work on their droids?"

"Of course not! A battlefield is the last place that they would think to look for me, right? And hey, you could go out and try to sell some of our stuff!"

The red-head jumped up from her chair and glared at her companion.

"Are you insane?! This is a damned battlefield!"

A confident grin crossed the other woman's lips as she too rose, turning to her.

"A little bit, yes. And I know. Look, Ocampo, we need some parts, okay? This spot will probably be riddled with weapons, armors, droid parts, and machinery. We're running low on funds and we can't afford parts right now. This stupid war has totally butchered all of our contracts and clients."

Ocampo looked back at her, an apparently dumbfounded look on her face. That was actually fairly intelligent. Sure, scavenging from a battlefield seemed a little morally questionable, but, you gotta do what you gotta do. Her crimson eyes looked down at her arm, the small cut in the synth-skin that was deep enough to show the metal underneath. Lack of funds also meant a full repair was impossible. Damn.

The blonde placed her hand gently on Ocampo's shoulder, flashing her a kind smile.

"I know I'm silly at times, and that I sometimes make bad calls, but I do have our best interests in mind. One little run here, and I'll have you fixed up good as new."

Ocampo managed a smile, placing her hand upon the other woman's.

"Thank you, Raine. Okay, one quick run and then we're out. Right?"

Raine nodded briefly, responding with a smile;

"Right!"

The two women grabbed their gear, including a couple large backpacks to fill with salvage. They flashed each other a confident smile, and headed out from their hidden ship to gather salvage on the planet Trandosha.
 
Shun Dao
A low hum echoed into a corridor, the sound of a lightsaber deflecting bolts. A young man stood alone, a small drone on either side of him. At random intervals, bolts fired from them, only to be deflected by a light blue colored blade of energy. Although his eyes were covered by a dark visor, his senses were stretched around him. He could feel the drones near him, and several other young jedi like himself around him.

His senses wanted to reach further, and he had make a conscious effort to keep his focus centered within only a few meters around him. The weapon felt as familiar in his hands now as the feel of the limbs themselves. It was a common teaching to consider the weapon to be an extension of oneself. Shun had come to well understand this concept.

A few more bolts were deflected by the blade before he shifted his feet, lunging slightly to the left with his right hand, the blade piercing through one of the drones. Shun drew the blade back, angling it downward as he brought the weapon in closer to his body, deflecting a bolt back at the machine that fired it, barely missing the drone. The young man's jaw clenched as he felt the bolt miss.

However, he could sense another attack coming. With another quick movement of his foot towards the target, he pivoted on his heel, turning towards the drone while swinging the blade in an upward diagonal arc, slicing cleanly through the drone.

A pair of clunks sounded as the now split drone crashed to the floor. Shun sighed softly as he removed the visor, glancing at the now destroyed drones. He grimaced at the thought of his miss deflection. His skills definitely needed work. His senses were sharp, but his timing needed work. The Zabrak male cleaned up the mess, placing the weapon on his belt and the visor on the shelf near the entrance of the training room.

Shun's mind raced with thoughts as he decided to take a ahort break in the mess hall. It seemed like he had spent days just honing his skills waiting for a master to take interest in him; or for the council to assign him one. He tried his hardest not to take it personally. After all, there were only so many knights and masters without apprentices already. Not to mention his peers, many of which were beyond impressive.

The voices of the students in the mess hall had pulled the young man from his thoughts, he hadn't even realized he had made it to his destination. A grimace formed on his face. Usually he felt fully in control of himself, his confidence often radiated from him like the force itself. Yet lately...a quiet voice caught his ears, his attention turning to a girl nearby. Shun didn't quite recognize her, but he was aware she was an initiate like him. Likely a little younger.

"Excuse me. You're an initiate as well, right? I'm Shun. May I ask your name?"

The Zabrak smiled politely, offering his hand to the girl in a friendly gesture. He hadn't realized it before, but, he had a tendency to keep to himself, and didn't often speak to his peers. Perhaps it'd be wise to get to know some of them. Maybe they could help each other. After all, they may eventually be fighting on the battlefield together. At the least, they were comrades bound by the Order.


(@Nevvy, decided to initiate some old fashioned character interaction. Hope you don't mind.)
 
Zerrak Samuul​
The air was charged with intense energy in one of the many bars that resided upon Nal Hutta as people simply watched to see how this event would go. It was a solid 20 minutes before any action was taken but once it did it happened in an instant as the die had finally been cast. After a few rolls they finally stopped and everyone leaned in trying to get a good look until someone spoke up, "Congratulations sir you have won the grand prize," the clerk stated which brought out a round of cheers and applause for the lucky man who just so happened to be Zerrak Samuul or as others know him as "The Black Death". He collected his prize money and decided that he was through with betting his money for today and left shortly to return to his ship happy that he turned uo at least 250k credits today. "And who said that gambling was a fool's game," he thought laughing to himself at that little inside comment. After a good five minute walk he returned to his ship hearing someone singing on board which meant that HK was reparing something. "Hey HK I told you to stop playing that damn song man its creepy as hell," he shouted over the music which caused it to shut off in an instant as the droid looked up to watch Zerrak.

"Greeting: Why Hello there Master glad to see that you have returned from your midnight walk," it responded putting down the blaster it was working on and turned the radio back on to play some other old type of music. "Query: Is there anything that would like me to do for you master or are we simply taking off towards the never ending ocean of space once more?"

"I told you HK you can call me Zerrak and yeah make preperations to take off," he responded while sitting down in his chair going through his job offers turning down a few of them since most were just from crime lords who wanted some hired muscle. It wasn't until he got to a certain encrypted message that he got interested and decided to play it to see the contents. He was shocked to see that it was a CIS general trying to recruit him into their services after they had learned of his reputation. "Odd that they would approach just one man like me...guess they must be in dire need of new soldiers if they have to hire bounty hunters," he wondered before closing it and kicked his feet up until HK announced that they were ready to take off, "Well i'll just see how this one goes."

Katie turned and looked over at Shun. Though she didn't know him by name, she at least recognized him as one of the more able initiates at the temple. More able than she was, anyway. Had much keener senses than her, though that wasn't particularly hard as she tended to lose focus in action. Too bad almost everything now was done in the middle of that. It was a bit odd that he had all of a sudden decided to be nice and approach her but that wasn't something to complain about.

"I'm Katie. And I sort of know who you are. I've seen you train a lot," she smiled, taking Shun's hand. Of course, he would have had to have lived under a rock at the temple to not know about her or at least her track record. Or the long list of things she'd broken accidentally that weren't training droids. It made most conversations she had with other initiates rather awkward. It crossed her mind that she had been doing something too but decided that it could wait and this was a little more important.

Reactions: The Dapper Mog
Reaver was shocked after being lifted up by the force. He was on a CIS controlled planet. This jedi should be running his lightsaber through his chassis. He followed alongside the jedi and complied. His walk was uneven with the damaged leg.

"I am Reaver. And no, I'm not with the CIS. I'm here for my own reasons." he wanted to be cautious when he answered the next questions but he just let him have it. He wasn't particularly fond of the Republic but the relatively easy time he had finding a way in was irksome to his old tactical mind. "You have a blindspot in the southwest corner. Your patrols also run predictable patterns. I wouldn't be surprised if something other than me has made it into this camp. Though, I'm impressed with how well camouflaged this camp is. Took me long enough to even triangulate it." He swept the last question under the metaphorical rug and avoided answering. "And why was I not immediately shot in the head when you spotted me? I can't imagine why you would want an intruder like me alive?" The idea of interrogation was weird to him. Though he was sentient, he was programmed to kill or be killed. It is hard to overcome ones base programming.
 
Doshan feet covered in natural scales trekked against the blistering sand covering Dosha's surface, looking to the old droid with a bit of mysticism. A sentient droid was a very rare thing, at least to Kossik. His arms crossed behind his back, taking a leisurely pace for the droid.

"I see, well Reaver you have just compromised the safety of this encampment - of my comrades. How is it that you knew to triangulate this deployment? Also, thank you for your feedback on our patrol routines. I'll be sure to inform Tylan we should switch things up a little." Taking a moment or so in order to digest the question of why the droid had not been decommissioned yet with some salt, sky blue eyes looked upon the limping metal creature with intrigue. "I have a friend who would just love to get his paws on you, Reaver. I'd suggest you comply or else you won't enjoy your stay here at Casa Vanguard." Of course he was referring to one of the more kindred souls of the camp, Tarshyyk.

After a second or more of speaking the foreign name, Jedi Master Kossik halted in his steps and turned completely so that he could inspect the wound Reaver suffered.

"Tell me, have you ever encountered a Wookie that's good with technology?" Inquiring with a cocking of the head, one hand ascended from his waistline in order to lift the hobbling automaton off his feet and into the air, nearly above his own scaled head.

Asajoish Asha​
"Peace is a lie, there is only passion..through passion I gain strength..through strength i gain power..through power victory, and through victory my chains are broken." These words were all that could be heard in one of the ancient crypts as Asajoish spoke the code of the dark side feeling empowered the more he said the words to himself. He was broken from his trance as he heard the buzzing of a small clock he placed next to him which meant that his three hours were up. He stood up and dusted himself off a bit feeling ready to move on to his next trial and began to exit the tombs of the fallen sith lords until he was approached by a running imperial soldier that seemed glad to find him. "My lord you must help us for my men are in danger of being wiped out sir," he pleaded in one breath causing Asajoish to hold up his hand to allow him to take a pause and regain his breath. "Calm yourself man now what seems to be the problem here," he asked now curious as to what could cause this man to be in such distress. "Yes my lord well it seems as though 2 Acklays have decided to take up refuge here in the caverns sir and my squad was unlucky enough to run into them while they were..mating sir." Asajoish had to stifle a laugh at that image as he didn't want to seem rude and instructed that the soldier tell him the location while he sent him off to request back-up from the academy.

It didn't take long for Asajoish to hear the screams of the soldiers as he came upon a most gruesome scene. Body parts and blood were practically littered about the floor as the Aklays tore in the men and their armor as if it were simply bare skin. He was a little shocked to see them downed so quickly, but he steeled himself for battle as they sniffed out a new meal that had come into their new lair. Asajoish quickly drew his lightsaber from his waist and switched it on ready for combat. "I really should have waited for that back-up," he thought as they charged him as soon as he drew his weapon.​
 
Ardana t'arcona​
It took her a couple of days to get to the hyperdrive lanes but she eventually got there. As soon as she was able she kicked her hyperdrive and zoomed off to Courscant. It took her another day so she had time to chat with her crew members. Then she fell asleep. She wondered what the jedi masters wanted her to come back so hastefully. As she dreamed vivid images and memories of her master. Emotionally unstable she may not be the best master but through time she thinks if she ever had a padawan that she would treat them as her master treated her. So many thoughts and so many memories she cried in her sleep with sadness.

When she woke she was close to Courscant. She got out of her bed chamber to go see her pilot and have a nice chat.

"Hello captain, how are we doing?" she asked happily.

"I am well Ardana, but the real question is how YOU are feeling?" he asked concernedly. Ardana looked down at her feet giving her captain the notion she hasn't been the best of moods. "It's alright. We are coming close to Courscant. Should we land immediately?"

"Yes, set course for the jedi temple. Thank you captain." she walks away and readies her belongings. Its been a year since she has returned. 'Has the temple changed? Is is still standing? Of course its still standing, you would have heard about it if there was a battle.' She spoke in her head. Shaking back and forth through thoughts she felt the hyperdrive come to an end. The Obsidian Star flew gracefully closer to the planet Courscant. As the ship got closer the planet grew in size and swallowed the ship, sending it to the cities that lay inside.

As she landed, she walked off her ship sensing a disturbance of the force. Here she would meet someone new.​
 
"I can't say I have." He paused for a second to think. "I got the general location from an information gatherer. I'm not sure how he got it, but you guys had some nice tech here, and I wanted to cut myself a slice."
 
As Rose followed a group of ATC clones to the training room or the hanger she really hadn't listened to them as they approached her a few minute earlier but it really wasn't her concern as long as she didn't have to follow any jedi she would be good. "These clone are just really copy of each other if they can't use the force." She said with a sigh and shaking her head. Seeing her LightSaber on the hilt on the Clone in front of her. Then she looks to her left looking out the window over viewing the city. She was truly amazed what they have created even with the war going on. But she had seen the other end of the war and sometime it doesn't seem like they will win sometimes. As they near the a hanger she notices two other initiates talking up ahead rose moved to the side of the clones to try not to bring their attention to her as they pasted the two when they got to the hanger doors she was trying to listen and see if there was any noise that wasn't normally there. At this rose grinned. as the doors opened one of the clones handed her LightSaber to another clone while the doors opened. At this moment rose was feeling a little rebellious so when the clones started to walk through the doors of the bay she jolted through them while motioning for her LightSaber from the clones hands and luckily he let go as it flew towards her all the clones started to yell at her and it could be clearly heard from outside. Rose continued running though the hanger bay with clones chasing her for reasons she doesn't know why as she jumps to the middle of the hanger the doors open and a fighter ship come in for landing and straight for her. Rose decided to jump onto it and run across it then jumping off of it landing right at the hanger door that had closed the second they came in. Then rose turned around only seeing herself surrounded by Clones. Then she smiled and said "We'll I guess you caught me agian." Noticing people come out of the she had just jumped off of and they didn't look like a typical visitor or a new clone squad coming in. Then she had realized she jumped onto a Jedi ship. Then her grin was removed from her face immediately was gone.
 
Ardana t'arcona​
Hearing the commotion at the exit of her ship she walks to see what has happened. She sees a group of clones surrounding a small female. 'What is going on' she thought. She dismissed the clones and stand by and takes a closer look the the girl. She appears to be a force user and judging by her appearance she is a sith. She takes the lightsaber from the girl. She glares at the girl for a moment then turning to the lightsaber as she turned it on revealing a bright blue crystal and blade.

"Strange. Only a jedi would hold this type of weapon and judging by your stature you look like an initiate or a padawan." she tells the girl. She leans closer and whispers to her. "Not to be rude but I don't think you could have killed a jedi for this." she rises from the lean. "Therefore you must be a jedi. Welcome, I am Jedi Knight Ardana. Why are you being chased by clone?" she asked in a confused manner. A clone trooper steps up and interrupts the converstaion.

"We were told to seize her. They said she committed a crime. So we were to hold her weapon and esco-" he was interrupted by Ardana's word.

"Thank you soldier but if you don't mind I would like to hear it from the lady herself. Please escort yourselves out." she told the clones. The clones walked away and stationed outside of the hanger. Ardana grabs Rose's shoulder gently and looks at her calmly with a smile. "Lets get you some place other than here. These guys take their jobs too seriously sometimes." she hands the lightsaber back to Rose. "Whats your name?" she walked towards the exit. ​

As the jedi looked over at what she had created she only stared at the jedi. Rose held tight to her lightsaber but in the end she gave it to the jedi only to confuse them. Then rose heard the jedi speak of what she was she said under her breath. "A title doesn't define who we are." Then she leans towards rose telling her she doubt she killed a jedi for the saber. Then Rose smiled Then said " I doubt you will understand what trouble that thing has brought me but it my personal one." She said hinting she had to kill a few things in the process. Then she asked why she saw being chased. she was about to tell a lie when a clone had interrupted her as she looked at the clone the jedi had told him to leave.

Then ardana placed her hand on her shoulder then looked at her and said "Lets get you some place other than here. These guys take their jobs too seriously sometimes." She can agree with that. Then Rose is handed her lightsaber back and she placed it on her side following the jedi. "Well Actually name Rose void and no I'm not a jedi well not yet anyways But you were right I am a initiate at the moment." Then rose looked at Ardana thanks for not attacking me because of my looks that's the reason this started. Then Rose pulled 6 helmet trackers from her back pocket. I swear they attacked first so I did what I only knew what to do knock them out and removed these. But by now they should be waking up right about now." She said with a smirk until she remembered she was talking to a jedi knight. Then she moved her hand towards Ardana holding the chips waiting to give them to her. "I am truly sorry. Well for the most part." Hoping she wouldn't turn her in to the army for this action.
 
Ardana t'arcona​
She looks at the initiate, listening to every word. She takes more notice when she says something about clone troopers and chips. She looks towards Rose as Rose handed her the chips.She grabs the chips from her hand, gives her a stern look for a moment and then smirks.

"Mischievous huh? I was too when I was your age." she said calmly. "Pleasure to meet you Rose, I can tell we are going to get along greatly. With a few exceptions of course, like knocking out the clones. They could have hurt you if I didn't come along" she chuckles alittle and then looks down at the chips while walking. She grips the chips tight thinking what she said about her master. Memories seeping through like leaks in a dam wall. She was nearing the main entrance hall when she stopped and welcomed Rose to the Jedi temple.

"Welcome to the Jedi temple. Here we are to learn the ways of the force and discover it's mysteries. I think you need to see the Jedi council so we have just a little more walking to do." she sighs. "At least it helps on patience."​
 
Arix Windu​
The area was silent as the air was filled with tense energy as Arix sat alone in the Cave of Evil which earned its name rightly for the dark side of the force was rich here. Arix made this place one of his daily spots to meditate since it helped him to better balance out the encroaching darkness and the good that resided inside him. After a while he decided that it was time to go as he felt his mental barriers about to give way towards the constant whispering of dark secrets that tempted him at ever twist and turn. Glad to be at peace with himself as he exited the cave Arix gave a sigh of relief and stretched a bit before wondering where his padawan had run off to. He opened his mind to search through the planet in hopes of finding her that way and smiled a bit as he saw her mutilating a poor flower by pulling its petals off. "Feso when your done playing with the local plant life come back towards the tree its time to train," he spoke into her mind and cut the connection off after relaying his message. He then made the short trek back to the tree that he made a small home out of near his ship and waited for Feso to return so that they can continue her lessons.​
 
Ryler always hated trials, But here he was staring into the eyes of a frightened boy no older then 18. Bound in chains with clone guards hovering over him, his body trembled with fear. He looks down at the charges in-front of him.

"Damn" He says to himself there was no chance he would be able to pardon the young soldier.

The young man had been brought up on 3 charges of treason, selling information to the CIS, declassifying information, and attempted sabotage. He rubs his temples coming to his decision. He motions for the MP's to have the man stand.


"Sergeant Carlson Windu you have been found guilty on all charges listed, and you have left me no choice young man, you will be sentenced to death."

The man nearly collapses in fear, the MP's grab him forcing him to stay on his feet. Ryler stands and walks around the desk to stand in front of the damned man. He motions to Dorian who brings over a wooden box. He opens the box revealing a set of pearl handled blasters. He takes one out loading a charge. The MP's turn the man around forcing him to his knees. The man babbles incoherently through choked sobs. Ryler places the cold barrel against the youths head.

"The crimes have been committed, and your fate has been sealed."

The piercing sound of blaster echos around the chamber, the man crumples.

Ryler looks at the MP's "Get this filth out of my sight."

He turns placing the blaster back into the box. He sighs looking at Dorian

"Moments like these prove we are all condemned."
 
Vivienne Vianna
​
After asking one of the other initiates nicely, Vivi discovered that the Count's son had just graced the academy with his presence. (By asking nicely, she meant torturing for information by inflicting minor burns and threatening worse.) She thought that sounded like schmoozing that was good for her career. A few questions later, she found out exactly where he was. "Wow... some people can just be sooooo full of themselves..." She said to herself after finding out where he was and why. Speaking to a soldier of some sort? Vivi hid herself and listened closely to what they were saying. Something about two big bugs? Well, she could sympathize with the bugs; she didn't want to be disturbed during mating season either. For a Zeltron, that would be all the time.

Vivi tailed the young Sith to the Acklay cave where she heard screaming. And not the good screaming like someone she didn't like being burned slightly. This was the screaming of someone being torn apart. This was the screaming of someone who was going to get blood on her outfit. That was the worst kind of screaming. She kept quietly following the young Sith until he said how he wanted to wait for backup. "Well, I guess you should be glad I'm here, then..." With that, she draws both of her guard shotos, readying to defend against the Acklay.​
 
Sretth'buon'poazaz ​
Sitting in the corner reading archives and trying to translate them Sretth is filled with boredom. His long sighs next to yawns with his half closed eyes shows he doesn't want to be here. Fulfilling a task given to him by one of the lords he begins to question the lord's ways. He stops the archives and walks to the Darth that had given him the order.

"My lord this is meaningless." he said as he was walking in. He looks slightly downward at the dead acolyte at the entrance. He snarks, kicks the dead body and walks away from it. "What is the point of do this? This has nothing to do with learning about the force. I will inform my parents to get me better teachers!"
​
Riezin Gesack​
"YOU DARE SPEAK TO ME IN SUCH A MANNER?! Who the hell do you think you are speaking to me like that! I am not your weak parents nor will I give you any special treatment of any kind! If you don't want to end up like that filth then do not anger me!" He roars in furious rage. He force lightning Sretth for a few moments and then releases. His power overwhelmed the child, making him tremble with fear.

"I... I am sorry my lord" he apologizes while coughing for air. He could smell his flesh heat up with sweat and with a oder so foul. "Please my lord forgive me, I will do the task just please never do that again." he begins to cry. He bows before Darth Karlen.

"You stupid child, get out of my sight before I burn you further! GET OUT!" He boils and barks his command.

Sretth runs out of his chamber, tripping over the dead body and hitting his face. With a great fall he hits his nose dead on. His nose bleeding, eyes crying he was having a bad day. He got up and ran out to find the archives he was working on earlier. He finds his seat and table but not the archives nor the start of a translation. He knew someone stole his work. He had to work all over again. 'Why didn't I just shut up and do the work? Why is this happening to me? My parents would never have allowed this! This isn't fair! Someone needs to pay for this, innocent or not.' With the look of rage he took out another piece of the archives and started the work. Thinking only about harming another person for his mistakes.​
 
General Tylan turns away as the Trandoshan walks out of camp with the hobbled droid. Turning on his close range comms he orders Captain Brunhald To have the men start breaking down the camp. They had almost 12 miles to walk in four hours. The shifting sands of the desert will cost them precious time. After they take the convoy they would signal the venetor in orbit to launch the second special forces company. With them his bodyguard, a sniper of outlandish skill. But for know he tried to keep his mind at the task at hand.
 
Rose handed Ardana the chips expecting some sort of punishment but to her surprise she smirked this confused rose for a few seconds thinking to her self "Hmm never thought a jedi could have been like me. Well for a small part anyways." Then rose looked over at Ardana saying they will get along greatly with the exception of knocking out the clones. Then rose looks forwards again "Well then I probably shouldn't say this but I may have took there pilot out to and there might be a gun ship some were. I said might." Then rose step to the side even more "ok there is."

As rose finished saying that they both stopped and she welcomed her to the jedi temple. "Well looks like how they taught me but hey there spot on about details." then rose started to walk again towards it. "Well you coming I don't want to be walking all day." not knowing what the council would do.
 
Ardana t'arcona (Courscant)​
She chuckled to her self at Rose's comment. She started walking and finally made it into the council room. Here they will meet the greatest jedi masters with a possibility of seeing their padawans.
​
Wipema (Corellia)​
He woke up in an alley way in Corellia, hidden from the rest of the public. He climbed the wall with ease with roof hopping as soon as he makes up the top. Being small had its perks for Wipema: he was faster, could hide anywhere and could catch a ride whenever he likes. Seeing Correllia's sights is not what he was looking for, instead he started to make his way to the cantina to see if there are any bounties that he may "collect". When he arrives he sneaks past the doors keeping at the darkest corners to avoid being seen. He makes his way to a small table with a cloaked man sitting there. Wipema and him share a few words but non the less Wipema gets his target, the details and was sure to go. He was to capture or kill Jedi Master Kossik Hast. Without hesitation Wipema made his was to the shuttles and boarded the next flight to Trandosha.
