A/N: The Jedi are wearing normal clothes to keep the others from feeling too nervous. Oh, this Chapter's not too bad, but it will get better, Scout's honor!!!
Rogue Knights-Chapter 4
By: Princess Raye Fire
Corran wondered threw the halls silently. He hadn't been able to sllep. He'd felt an unnamable something pulling him toward the hangar.
When he got there he heard the soft buzz of Light sabers and the occasional murmur of a voice.
He stood outside the circle formed by the Rogue Knights' X-Wings. Inside Calin was sitting on the nose of his X-Wing watching Cassie show Byrn the basics of swordplay.
Calin suddenly looked up and found Corran's gaze. "Come join us. You might want to soak up a little, in the event we get to train you, to."
Corran shook his head. "I'm not planning on getting trained in anything, yet, but I'll watch just the same."
He ducked under the nose of a fighter and went to stand by Calin. On the floor was three circles with x's marked in different positions. Corran recognized it. It was a sphere of responsibility sketch, he'd seen them in the tapes Master Luke kept sending him.
Inyri appeared between fighters. That captured Corran's attention away from the mentoring Cassandra.
She nodded to him as she passed a the tray up to Calin before joining him on his purch.
"What are you doing here?" He asked, his expression and tone guarded.
"The same thing you are, soaking." There was a double snap-hiss and Corran turned back to the center of the circle.
Byrn was standing alone with a droid circling him menacingly. The droid was almost spherical with little flat spots where it shot out lasers and a repulsor lift system.
Byrn turned with the droid as it attempted to circle him. The droid spit a green laser spike at the waiting Apprentice. Byrn caught it on his blade. The next one bounced off the blade toward Cassandra., who waved her hand and it bounced away.
Byrn was doing good. He had his eyes closed, his breathing slow, concentration set to kill. He lept, spun to make a harder target of himself, and sliced the droid in half.
There was one set of clapping hands in the stunned audience. "Thinking outside the box. Nice, not exactly the point of the session but that's fine, for now. Next, live practice." Cassandra's blade blazed to life.
