Shadow Of the Force 1 A New Player
Two Months before the Battle of Geonosis
In the dark edges of wild space, orbits a planet that only few non-natives knowledge of. In a room around a table of black stone sat three beings, dressed in robes of black and grey with hood adorning there heads, shadowing there faces from the lamp that illuminated the room with a soft glow. They were discussing the most troubling news and the groups decision would forever change the Galaxy at large. The topic: War.
"Is the source reliable?" one asked. "As always," another replied gravely, "Our agent was there himself, systems have started to leave the Republic under the banner of Dooku." "What should we do, Merick, Ryos?" the third asked. The one now identified as Merick stated "We do what this counsel has done for millennia my dear Kari, trust the force." "Then let us see what the future might hold.," stated Ryos, lifting his hood to reveal the slightly weathered face of a man in his 50's with a light beard along his jaw line and a bald head. "I never get used to flow walking." the one known as Kari said revealing her features of a middle-aged woman but still held her beauty, her hair in a bun with signs of graying.( think Grace Kelly don't know her look her up). "It must be done," stated Merick, his is the eldest face of 60, a goatee and short-cropped salt-n-pepper hair marking him. The three of them started to meditate, visions flowing to them.
The first was of an arena with beings in tan and brown robe, wielding blades of blue and green light cutting cleanly through robotic bodies of their ever numerous enemy until a bolts of green light signaled the arrival of airships intending to aid the monks. Then, the view shifted to battle after battle with men in white armor fighting the droid army, one or two of the monks known as the Jedi leading each battalion. Many of the visions featured two Jedi in particular, one a man with reddish- brown hair and full beard, in tan battle robes and white armor in some places. The other, a man with shaggy dirty blond hair and a scar on is right eye, wearing black and brown battle robes. Then the visions became worse. The white armored men turning on there Jedi commanders, cutting them down in a hail of blue plasma. Then the final vision came and two figures appeared, one a man clocked in dark robes with an aura sinister in nature while the second, covered in shiny black armor, was surrounded by death and rage. The last sound the three heard was a breathing that sent a chill down there spines.
Coming out of the trance Ryos was the first to speak, "the Sith are at it again if the last vision was anything." "Perhaps, but we know the Jedi order will not survive this war," said Kari sadly. They both looked to there colleague, who sat, eyes closed, with elbows on the table and hands in a contemplating position. After a minute, his eyes opened, "I suggest we intervene" "What!" exclaimed Ryos, "Our ways have been guarded since Lord Revan came. You want to blow that all away!" "It's only a matter of time before happens anyway," said Merick whit a glare. "Before we decide, let us here the reasons," Kari stated stopping a fight before it started.
"My reasoning for this action ," Merick began, " is my vision after the flow-walk. The sith will find our planet after the end of the wars when they're searching for the remnants of the Jedi. when that happens, our forces will be over whelmed and as followers of the Path of Grey we cannot let the Jedi be obliterated. So, I propose that we send a single warrior to the Jedi with orders to prevent the Jedi's destruction and the sith's discovery of our planet." Ryos and Kari looked pensive. "Who do you have in mind, Merick?" asked Ryos. "Him" the man answered. "The Last?" Ryos yelled. "he can give us a run for our money," Kari suggested. "exactly he is only 14 standard years but strength and skill can only rise." said the elder member. "he's already created his blades and completed numerous missions in republic space that we usually reserve for our top soldiers." "he does need to take the trial for title," Ryos stated. "then let this be his trial," said Kari. For a moment, silence hung in the chamber. "so Be it." said Ryos. "so be it" followed Kari. "then its settled," Merick turn his head to his side, " send for Karas" " yes, elder." a guard stated
30 minutes later
The door to the Elders chamber opened, showing a teenager standing at 5'5" in charcoal grey shinobi style pants and Gi with two swords strapped at is waist. His hair a short brown with green eyes rounding out his still developing features. He entered the chamber with the gait of a battle- hardened warrior and bowed to the three, "you summoned me elders?" "yes Karas," started Ryos, "we have a mission for you." "what is the task?" Karas stated flatly. "it is a long term mission to aid the Jedi, but few are to know the Grays' existence." Kari said getting , the boys gaze meeting hers. Karas looked in mild confusion, "are you sure I'm the correct choice?" "Of course, what better way to reveal ourselves to the Jedi than send the Last" Merick said with a smile, "and we think your ready for this" Karas snapped to attention, "what must I do?" "go to Coruscant and find Jedi Grand Master Yoda, follow him while concealing your self until he is alone and engage him in battle but do not kill. If he is truly the grand master give introduce your self and give him this data disk after reviewing it your self," Kari handed the boy the item, Merick continued, "once you do this Master Yoda will act accordingly while you are to follow his lead." Ryos then stated, "when can you leave?" with eyes full of determination, Karas stated "Immediately" turning to leave. "Good luck, Karas and may the force be with you." Merick said. Karas stopped at the door, "thank you, Uncle," and then he was gone. "You think your nephew can do it?" asked Ryos turning to Merick, "yes, he has the blood of Revan in him."
