Rakine opened his green eyes as Karus walked in.
"Master Yoshi has sent for us," he says
Rakine stands and says, "All right, let's go"
Rakine Cerivian is currently 19 years old with smooth features and a strong, lean body. His green eyes show his intelligence while his life tells of his brutality, his remorse, his story… this is the rise of the mandalorian from house Fett. He is currently studying to be a Jedi with his friend, Karus. Their master is Yoshi Ralf-Elan and, under his mentorship, are almost Knights of the Republic.
The clone troopers assigned to both Rakine and Karus begin to form ranks around them as they leave the meditation area Rakine was in.
"Relax guys," He says "You don't need to form ranks unless a senator passes us."
Commander Dilo, a long time friend of Rakine responds with a curt nod and signals his squad to disperse around the two padawans as Rakine and Karus head towards the Jedi Temple where the younglings and other padawans train, while the knights receive orders from the Jedi counsel on the top level.
The Commander accompanies them up the steps of the temple, and then turns as his communicator sounds off.
"—Order 66" is all Rakine can hear as the hooded figure on the communicator winks out of sight after the Commander says, "As you wish" and he faces the Padawans with his blaster drawn and pointed at Rakine, "Sorry sirs." Is all the Commander says as he and his squad open fire on them both.
Rakine reacts quickly, drawing his blue-bladed saber and deflects most of the shots directed at them. When he tries to reason with them, they ignore him. He swiftly cuts through all 32 squad mates with great remorse, knowing nothing could be done to save those of his clan. By the time the gruesome job is finished, Rakine has caught a bolt in his right shoulder and a graze on his left calf, standing among the dead soldiers. Karus had frozen in fear when the troopers fired upon him, and when Rakine turned to face him, he had vanished.
"Karus!" he calls out as he enters the temple, looking from left to right, his eyes scanning for places his friend could have hidden. In the distance, he can see a tall hooded figure standing before a group of younglings, "Master Skywalker? What's happening?" one of the younglings ask. The hooded figure, now known to be Anakin, doesn't answer but draws a blue-bladed light saber and begins cutting the younglings down.
Rakine gasps as he feels all of the lives escaping as the blue blade passes through them. He quickly takes cover behind a pillar, feeling great amounts of anger, fear, and hate. Instead of shying from them, he lets them take over. Once the screaming stops, he can hear footsteps walking down the hall towards him, the murder pauses a few measly feet from him and looks at him, his yellow eyes meeting Rakine's, then he continues walking. Rakine could see his reflection in the pools of blood as he walked towards the slaughter, seeing a pair of reddish-orange eyes looking back up at him, he slows his breathing and the eyes slowly fade to a dull color indiscernible in the blood.
Rakine begins to make his way to the top of the temple, saving as many younglings as he can, finding only corpses. Once he gets to the top, he blocks the orange blade of his master as he swings at Rakine's head; he lets out a growl of irritation and yells "Master!"
Master Yoshi stops for a moment to see who he attacked, "Sorry, I wasn't thinking." He glances around behind Rakine, "Where is Karus?"
"I'm not sure… he was behind me when Dilo attacked me, Karus froze in fear then left by what I could tell."
Master Elan nods and looks closely at the apprentice and notices his eyes, "What happened to your eyes? They seem brighter than before." Rakine looks away for a moment before focusing back on Yoshi.
"I... I watched as the younglings were killed and…" is all he can say before a quiet sob emits from his dry throat. Yoshi puts his hand on his shoulder and tries to convince him that this is normal. Rakine shrugs off his master's hand and moves towards the window; he knows what happened to him and he knows he must control it or it will destroy him.
"I have to leave master; I don't know when I'll be back but I have to do this alone."
Yoshi is quiet for a long time before he says something truly chilling… he gives him a warning from his own experience, "Don't steal power from others, remember my words and you shall do fine." The realization dawns on him as he wheels around, but his former master isn't standing there anymore.
So, this is the beginning of Rakine's adventures. For those of you who don't know, this ties into Darth Venison's story line by my friend YOSHIGAMINGFTW
