AthenaRome.-
Alright this is the first actual update to the story. I would like to thank anyone that has read this and I wil be trying to update weekly but I cannot promise that it's a guarantee and for that I am sorry. Anyway I decided that the humor of it does not make up for the fact that Ashoka/Xalek has a age gap so instead it will be Ashoka/Illontra Ryz, my OC.
Also Chapter II is labelled "Clone Wars. Part I," Clone Wars is my subplot of Anaka's progression towards the Dark Side, Clone Wars. Part II will be the first Chapter after "The Hunt For Spirits and Power" arc. I'm thinking Chapter VII. Anyway this a Tethys chapter with Ryz getting the ending.
In this chapter Ryz gets assigned to a new master while Tethys and Xalek begin to form their own plans, while avoiding the watchful eye of the distrusting Jedi Council. Juno is given the responsibility of training a Padawan very different from Kira, a Padawan who thinks she's failed as a Jedi, can Juno train this Padawan?
Read, Review, and Enjoy!
The Consequences of Forbidden Force.
Chapter IV.
The Hunt for Spirits and Power. Part I.
Tethys Gigantes.
The return to Coruscant consisted of Juno explaining who we are and how we got misplaced in time to Padawan Ryz. I was forced to give a mission report, I made sure to anger the Jedi by including the full details of my use of the Dark Side while boasting of how me and The Hero of Tython worked together so well.
I had also done some research on the more recent Sith History, I found some interesting information that I'd have to research more on in the Jedi Archives. I intended to bind spirits to myself again, I want to be sure I will have the power to destroy a entire Council of Jedi should they try to stop me.
I will also need allies. Xalek's loyalty is guaranteed, but I need more. A apprentice, ideally two and some soldiers, for what Kenobi and the other Jedi who found me and Juno said the Republic uses a Army of Clones made on Kamino, perhaps I could commission my own Elite regiment.
Yes, I must increase my power and form a sphere of influence. I smiled, history repeats itself.
One thing I found was that me and Juno did have a common hatred in City Planets, then again war tends to make all planets look terrible, while I may enjoy warfare I also like having clean robes, unfortunately blood and dust don't have cleaning properties. Still a girl can dream of the day her robes will stay clean while utterly destroying anyone that is against me.
As I continued to think of mayhem and clean robes the shuttle landed in the Jedi Temple's Hanger, this time we didn't have Jedi accompanying us, well I did but I agreed to this, it seems that I'll be such with Juno and The Jedi untill I'm ready to make my own moves. Atleast Juno is easy on the eyes, she was the same height as me, the only difference is that I was thinner and slightly less endowed, not that she's fat or anything, I'm just thin.
Padawan Ryz walked quietly behind Juno, like a apprentice following her Master, I could practically feel that the Mirilian wanted to be taught by the Legendary Miraluka Jedi. Illontra Ryz has a decent amount of Force Power and training with a Double-Bladed Lightsaber but I feel like I shouldn't use her for my cause. I feel like Juno's already seeing her as a Padawan and if I mess with that it will make the Miraluka angry.
Juno Thermosphere herself was unfortunately to far lost in the Light to ever help me with my goals, though having her as a ally within the Jedi would be favorable. I have no desire to destroy the Jedi but if they attempt to contain or stop me, I will counterattack with deadly consequences.
When we reached the Jedi Temple spire Obi-Sha, Yoda, Windu, and two men I didn't recognize where their, Shaak Ti was gone somewhere, I didn't care.
"Knight Thermosphere, Inquisitor Gigantes, Padawan Ryz this is Plo Koon and Kit Fisto. I assume Zaroban Yalaz has been elimated?" Mace Windu asked the stupid question.
"Yes." I replied.
"Padawan Ryz, when you where captured your Master was killed correct?" Plo Koon asked the stupid questions this time.
"Yes, Master Tarad is dead." The Mirilian said grimly.
"One with the Force, he is." Yoda took a moment of silence "Knight Thermosphere, continue young Ryz's training will you?" All eyes where on the woman with no eyes.
"Padwan Illontra Ryz would you like me to train you?" Juno asked in return, Ryz was surprised at the question, the Council was to. Apparently Juno's behaviour is much friendlier and realistic than they expected, they expect some sort of powerful Legendary Force messiah. Instead they get Juo Thermosphere, perhaps the most sickeningly Light Side beauty to ever reach my eyes.
"Of course!"
The Councik dismissed us. Apparently they had given Quarters to Xalek and Lord Scourge already, next to the one me and Juno would know occupy. Juno gave Illontra the rest of the day to rest and recover before resuming her training in the morning. When I walked in I was greeted by a site that made me happy. Instead of being depressed and confused over her gender she had arranged for three replicas of the Battle Aspirant Robes I got from a mission on Hammer Station and three replicas of the Black and Orange dyed Saber Marshall's Robes. She left a not saying he got these done because they where the cheapest.
I smiled, she may be cheap but this was definitely a extremely nice thing for Xalek to do, I'd have to thank her. I looked over at Juno, she had to do with the same armor but had multiple sets of blue amd brown under robes.
"Seems like the boys turned girls decided to keep their sanity by busying themselves of us." I quipped.
"Yeah, I need to get out of this armor." she stripped of her armor and long robe, leaving herself in loose under robes. I put the six sets of robes into the closet and laid in my bed. Tomorrow I'd deal with working on my plans right now I wanted to relax and eventually use the refresher.
The next morning me and Xalek had begun are research in the Jedi Archives. From what I was able to figure out already, my allies had ensured that after my disappearance a tomb was built for me on Korriban. Ashara had herself buried in this Tomb of Darth Nox, when she died, I know that unlike her ancestor her spirit will serve me faithfully if and when I ask.
I had also found out about a Rattataki Dark Jedi named Kuuson Thios, he had started a brief rebellion against the Republic on Kashyyyk, raising a Army of Wookies. He had the honor of killing the Jedi Grandmaster during his life time. His spirit would be powerful but controllable, perfect.
Another interesting Dark Jedi was Pion Que Drosto, he was a Zabrak who grew tired of peace and single handedly started a rebellion on Tython he and his Cathar Padawan Kazo Remon slaughtered Jedi for 24 straight hours before finally succumbing to injuries. These two were Dumb Muscle, again ideal.
Finally a rather recent Echani female, Tesalla Je who had directed a force of Echani assassins to kill Republic Politicians and even several Jedi. Her stronghold was on Athiss, the Jedi never found Je during her lifetime, one of her assassins killed her before telling the Jedi Order everything, She had a fascination with power, something that will make her happy to serve.
I would bind the spirits of Ashara and Je indefinitely but I'd only use Thios, Que Drosto, and Remon if necessary. I learned the downsides of having males in my head last time, also if I give them leeway I can earn their trust and loyalty, maybe even stripping them of their power before setting them free, allowing them to become one with the Force.
Feeling satisfied with my research I decided I would go and watch Juno as she trains Ryz.
Illontra Ryz was already proficient in Form VI, Niman and had begun learning Form V, Shien specifically, and had expressed interest in Form VII, Juno surprising for a Juyo Master had instructed her Padawan to study the newer and rarer Vaapad style, saying that bizarre enough fighting styles could be nearly impossible to defend against.
I smiled, a Double-Bladed variety of Vaapad with additional knowledge of Shien and Niman, could be a very diverse and deadly style. Juno was trying to make a one of a kind warrior that could be defensive with Shien, offensive with Vaapad, and having the jack-of-all trades Niman. The greatest thing was that Illontra Ryz was actually making successful progress towards that goal. A direct opposite from the defeated woman we rescued yesterday.
Now don't get me wrong she's only mastered Niman, she still has a lot of progress to make in Vaapad and Shien but she would make fast progress under Juno.
In the Training Room I could also that Anaka Skywalker was continuing to teach Ashoka Tano, Xalek and Scourge, who where getting along surprisingly well where also training in the room. They had the loss in the male gender to thank for that.
Here I was sitting in Black Saber Marshall Robes trimmed in Orange watching Masters train Apprentices. My plans would still require me to take atleast two students under my wing, but where would I find these students?
Illontra Ryz's Perspective.
Master Thermosphere had my perfecting basic attacks for each of the three Lightsaber Forms she wanted me to master. My yellow-green Lightsaber's twin blades had been active for two hours before Juno decided I was done for the day. I fet tired but dissatisfied, I feel like I could've done more with my first day under her teaching. She must've sensed my mood.
"Look Illontra, you did fine. You've had combat experience before I'm simply trying to make you unique Jedi. Think of it as adding variety." That seemed to help somewhat, Juno had a way with people, she continued "Don't let one mistake shatter your confidence, you need to believe you can overcome otherwise you never will." I nodded and smiled at my master, she smiled too an walked off.
I wasn't sure what path I'd like to chose following Knighthood, it seems like Juno wants me to be knightened simply because it will bring me happiness. I was thinking of becoming a Jedi Guardian, later learning the Displine if a Weapon Master, due to my preference for the Doubke-Bladed Lightsaber. Though in cases of extreme need, like Juno's time the Disiplines for Jedi would change, the Clone Wars did nothing to change the Jedi. Juno's Title is not parallel to her role Asia was in her time.
While lost in thought I had accidently walked into Ashoka and landed in a compromsing position, Inquisitor Gigantes was fighting off a smile I me and Tano awkwardly got off of each other.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to be a cliché." I said after Gigantes walked away.
"It's fine Illontra, you just spent a week captured by Separatists. I'll go east on you today." Ashoka joked. She's the kind of person you make friend's with whether you want to or not, I have spent a fair amount of time developing a crush on her, though I'd never act on it because One: I'm a Jedi, Two: My Self-Confidence is low enough as it is, Three: I'm doing everything in my power to not anger my master, she's special.
Though as me and Ashoka walked into a empty Hallway something unbelievable happened, a large explosion destroyed several skyscrapers near the Senate Building a Separatist Star Destroyer was now in low orbit near the Senate Building.
Me and the Jedi watched as the Separatists raided the Senate Building, before anyone could mobilize the Star Destroyer was already escaping.
"Jedi!" Mace Windu called us to attention "The Chancellor has been taken, three Venator-Class Star Destroyers are in pursuit, two more are aout to follow, I want as many Jedi as possible on those ships, now!"
My Master quickly grabbed me by the arm and we followed the crowd of Jedi towards the Space Port.
Well Tethys has a plan laid out, Juno has taken Ryz as a Padawan, and the Separatists just attacked Coruscant and took the Chancellor hostage. What will happen as The Republic strikes back? What will happen when Tethys has the opportunity to kill The Chancellor? Stay Tuned and Find Out. Enjoy!
The next chapter will be in Padawan Illontra Ryz's perspective.
