Thank you to my reviewer
Chapter 1:The council, and some saber Training
Zeno's thoughts were shaken by the alert beep of his comlink. He used the force to pull the comlink from his table to his hand.
"Zeno Tirn." The steel-gray eyed man answered.
"Zeno, this is Master Skywalker. We would like to speak with you." Came Luke Skywalker's voice through the small cylinder. Zeno sighed, and stood up.
"Yes, of course." Zeno knew that 'we' meant the council, so he decided that since he was going to speak with them anyway, he might as well be on his way.
Zeno walked through the hallways of the Massassi Temple. This place had been through so much. Constructed by the geneticly engineered Massassi, who were created by the rouge Sith Naga Sadow. Eventually, taken by the Sith Lord Exar Kun. Then, nearly 4,000 years later, the Rebel Alliance took the temple as its base. Now, it was a School for the Jedi, the enemies of the very creators. Zeno stopped at the door that led to the Council chamber. He drew in a long breath. The door opened in front of him, and as he took a few steps in, he felt a sense of urgency.
There before Zeno, sat the Jedi council, Consisting of seven members. The head of the Council was Luke Skywalker. To his right, sat Kyp Durron, seemly beyond his brash and impulsive years. To Luke's left, sat Kyle Katarn, the former Rebel agent. Next to Kyle sat Lobacca, the newphew of Chewbacca. Next to Kyp sat Krebor, a Mon Calamari. Then there was Nunik, a female Tusken from Tatooine. Finally, Aliwa Astirne, Lorom's aunt.
"Hello, Zeno Tirn." Luke said. "It has been a while since we last spoke." Luke said with a smile. The sandy-haired boy from the sand planet had seemly lost none of his youthful energy, and though he was starting to age, his body was still young. "But I suppose we must waste no time in idle chat. Tell us your story."
So Zeno told them his tale, and as he finished, the council seemed to nod in understanding.
"And then, I was gravely injured, and I barley made it back to the ship, and activated a distress beacon. Sav, and Lorom were killed." Zeno said, ending his recount of the events on Sulon. Aliwa cast her eyes down to the ground for a moment, and then looked back at Zeno.
"Zeno, you may leave. We must discuss this issue further. Thank you for your presence." Aliwa said. Zeno bowed, and then left the room.
Zeno opened the door of his room, to see Kyle Katarn standing in front of him. Zeno had been sleeping, and Kyle had been sent to talk to him.
"Zeno, the council has decided to send me on a mission to investigate further. We would also like for you to accompany me, along with at least two other people, preferable none Jedi." Kyle said. Zeno gave a "humph".
"Alright, but I get to choose who's coming." Zeno said. Kyle nodded.
"Wouldn't have it any other way." Kyle said with a smile. Zeno gathered his things, and they set off. Soon they came to one of the saber training arenas. There was a young human standing, with his white blade lit. On the Opposite side, was a green, multi-tendril alien standing; in a much more relaxed pose. The alien had a yellow bladed saber, which he held in one hand.
"Watch this. The aliens name is Dur Fisto. He and I grew up and trained together here at the academy. He's an amazing swordsman." Zeno said. Just then the human ran at Dur, raising his saber over his head. Dur only cocked his head down a little, and while the man swung his saber down, Dur stepped back, and with his blade parried the white blade so that he also put the man off balance. However, Dur did not take this opportunity, and let the man regain his balance. The man tried to attack Dur's feet, but Dur jumped into a back flip, kicking the man in the face. Then Dur thrusted his saber into the man. It was obvious now that the sabers were set for low "training" settings. The Instructer, who was standing off to the side, with the aide of the force, jumped up to the 8-foot high ring. "Very good. This teaches you that the direct, and seemingly strongest approach is not always the strongest. See how easily Dur defeated Fresd?" the instructor said. After a while of watching the teacher talk to the students, Dur walked over to where Zeno and Kyle were standing. "Greetings Zeno. It has been a longtime. How are you?" Dur asked. Zeno smiled said he was fine. Dur looked over at Kyle. "Hello, I do not think we have met before Kyle Katarn. It is a great honor." Dur said. Kyle nodded, and offered his hand. Dur shook it, and they all smiled. Zeno knew that Dur knew of Kyle, every Jedi did. How he defeated the Dark Jedi Jerec, and saved the Valley of the Jedi. And how he stopped the army of Shadow Troopers, and saved the Jedi Academy. It was almost impossible for a Jedi now, not to know who Kyle Katarn was. "Well, I think we should explain to him why we are here, don't you think?" Kyle said. Zeno nodded, slowly drawing in a breath. Zeno opened his lips, as if say something, but stopped, then started. "You know I have just returned from Sulon, correct?" Zeno said, somewhat cautiously. Dur smiled, and nodded. "Of course! There are rumors flying like a mynock to a ship!" Dur said. Zeno lost the smile he had when he entered this conversation, as did Kyle. "Well I don't know what rumors, but we need to go back to Sulon. And I want you to come with me." Zeno said. At this, Dur's smile faded, but only slightly. He had a look of question on his face. Zeno knew what he was about to ask. "Do not worry, we just need to investigate. Master Katarn and I are going, and I would like for you to come." Zeno said, somewhat with a slight wry tone to his voice. "Well, I can't turn down a friend." Dur said. "I guess I shall accompany you, on whatever mission you will go on."
