Bane and Xander the dynamic duo
What I saw before me was not a boy with amazing battle tactics and his brother who could lift up 6 flyers, with the force, but two brothers who would do anything for each other who loved one another. No conditions, no differences just pure love. Bane was more of the outspoken leader that everyone wanted to be and Xander was the wise overlord off.. prematurely everything. Bane had a flat top haircut almost plastered to his head and, if nothing else was an attractive face. Xander was more scruffy long silver hair exceeding himself in body and mind.
Bane was sitting on a rock talking to whoever would listen and if you know Bane that was everyone. He was talking about his applications that got accepted to the Jedi training academy on, of all places, Alderaan. He would be gone for about a month leaving Xander to do whatever he does when Bane is away. Which is nothing. Bane looked at Xander with a wide smile, "promise me you will actually do something while I am away" his eyes widened as he said this making this unpredictable look to him.
"Aha you make me laugh" Xander saw his master plot. The young lady standing next to the slouched Bane, was not an ugly woman a...twiilek not of the human race, and Xander was not like Bane. Bane was excepting to every race and creature, he tried to be fair and un judgmental but sometimes he had to agree with Xanders' racist comments. Xander hated other races he only liked the race of humanity, he once beat up a twiilek just for being a twiilek."Now shoo you filthy peasent!" Xander yelled at the Twiilek. The girl ran off crying. "Now Xander was that really necessary?" asked Bane trying to not get mad at Xander for being himself. "Yes it was! that thing was not human! it was a disgusting creaton!" that was the end of the conversation.
"Do you get Sith?" Xander asked Bane as they walked back to the academy. The sky longed to be searched thought Xander many times a day. The sky was not only a darkened black but gloomy something was wrong. Bane was thinking the same thing but more of The sky needs to be searched. Bane searched Xander s' eyes for the answer to this confusing question, but suddenly came up with an answer.
"Getting Sith isn't the question my wise young brother," Xander was actually 40 seconds older than Bane but Bane considerably calls himself older to be annoying to Xander. It wasn't working," Let us stray far from reality... let us say that Sith are just tests from the academy.. or Jedi in disguise...," he paused in deep thought then started again in his statement tone everyone liked listening to," what then has anyone died for? that is why I made that point many people would have died in vain if Sith weren't real...I say this," he went into his easy voice everyone couldn't deny," I say that Sith are a worthy foe that if they were not there if it was just us Jedi we would make something of Sith to make us fearing.. to make us strive to become better at whatever we are doing.. Sith are the definition of failed Jedi." He finished with that statement and Xander chuckled softly. Bane smiled in praise of himself, Bane always liked to make people laugh but not aalways found the right things to say.
"So you believe that Sith are the spec on the jedis' name that shouldn't be there?"Xander asked too curiously. Xander jumped, with one bound, up the academy steps and into the entryway. Bane quickly followed feeling like nothing could stop him until Xander pounced on him mid-air. He threw Bane to the ground and many other Jedi jumped on Bane. He quickly escaped and bounded around too athletic for anyone to catch.. except Xander he would catch Bane every once and a while and hold him down just long enough for the others to get 5 feet away, and for Bane to catch his breath.. After that he was gone again whizzing through the air like a speeding bullet. He was the fastest Jedi in the academy and the best duelist ever.
There was a story that he beat master yugin in a light saber duel but neither would admit to anything. But instead kept incredible composure while around each other. They were more friends than master and student. Bane was a Jedi knight already, along with Xander, would be going on many missions with their many fellow Knights. Traveling to Alderaan was Xanders' favorite. He loved the look to Alderaan he loved the grass and the smell. That was his downfall, he loved things to easily. Taking up the weapon was not his favorite part of being a Jedi and wondered how Bane came to love the heat of battle. He hated hurting people and protested it every time a battle was certain. They are kept in the academy as extra protection after the Sith invasion just 2 weeks earlier. And Protection they were during the invasion they held off 25 Sith troopers with 2 light sabers in both of their hands nothing else nothing more. They did not kill a single one of them but instead immobilized them enough until they won't fight back.
Xander was left with a long scar down his right shoulder but not a single saber touched an inch of Bane. During the fight Bane was taking 15 by himself not seemingly tired. But in fact Bane was tired. He tried to hide this from Xander to make him fight on, but they both were weakening. After the battle he was taken to the hospital and treated for his lung problem. Bane was very angery at himself that he couldn't do what he wanted to do. He longed for a cure to his condition. He was the definition of leadership. If he were to lead 20 Jedi younglings against a Sith army he would find some way to win. He would make the Sith think the younglings were innocent and take them into their ship then the younglings would kill the guards and take over the ship they would start firing down at the Sith army while Bane finished them off on the ground. You probably think Bane is perfect but he is nothing close to the sort he could wield nothing but the light saber a blaster was something unknown to him. He had virtually no force ability but trained to no end to become something of a force user. Bane had a weak side to him unlike Xander, he could kill someone and he wanted to kill people. But these feelings would bring the end to him, devour him into the dark side, he was afraid of being of afraid of himself. His abilities were limited though he had a lung problem that he was born with he could not stay in heated battle too long or he would pass out.
Xander had his days too he was a fighter as well but more of the force fighter he could ruin you with one flick of the finger. He was a dangerous man a bounty hunters' target none the less. He was on every bounty list next to Bane. He lacked the physical prowess to be anything of a Jedi master that BAne was destined to become. Xanders' preferred the lightsaber styles Niman.
Niman is more of the Balance form it focuses concentration on harmony and justice instead of powerful and aggressive attacks. He stays calm during battles breathing slowly while quickly dodging attacks and disarming foes. Xander was not as strong as Bane in light saber combat but he fared well against any opponent. Xander believed that any evil would eventually be destroyed by the good somewhere in the world just waiting to come alive. He believed he was that good.
Xander and Bane stood waiting for the bus to take Bane away for a month.
"It is just a month my brother, I will be back before you know it" he said stepping onto the grey metal bus.
"Maybe sooner than you think" Xander said pointing his eyes to the sky as the doors close on the bus. In the sky came a swarm of SIth Warships followed by many fighters gliding quickly down upon the colony of cousrascant. Bane was already locked away in the bus and he was flying away so Xander acted fast. He reached out and grabbed the bus with the force in one hand and grabbed a pole with the other. Xanders' muscles strained and he began to sweat like he just ran 6 Sith fighters closed in and Xander launched the pole at the closest one instantly dispatching to the ground nearby. He felt instant relief,but began to lose control not the bus he brought his other hand to aid his left hand. He brought the bus slowly down upon the ground and Banes' Silver light saber burnt the door open. Civilians poured out and Xander met his brother ready to defend his home world. their light sabers turned on and they were surrounded by Sith drop ships. Anger filled Bane as they hit locations he grew to love and Xander, with great strain and protest, prepared himself to be able to kill these men.
