Starwars cannon belongs to Disney so do all the cannon characters, I only own my own oc characters an places that I made up. Thank you for reading, please enjoy!
A.N. I had not written too many names for masters because of the sheer amount of them there are. who's currently on the council i don't know would some of the cannon ones still be there I need to look some up. If you want me to use a name for an unknown master you can say the name I will screen shot it for future refrence
Sonictundra: I realize that I may be pushing things too fast also nineteen days may be alot that's why time skip exists. To tell the truth I was on the wall if I should show Aayla the gamer ability.
To that guy that called me a pedo let's just say that the guy who writes about insest isn't a participant to it, doesn't excuse what I wrote but I've remember my childhood it was difficult just leave it at that.
It was our final day here within the cave many many days have gone by without us even being aware, realising it was a long night gave us time to go over the many subsystems that can be found within the starship.
I had a tutorial so Aayla had gotten some experience on the piloting. I had even shown her my other ship manual that i had taken from the blockade runner a while back.
A master was there to pull us out of the ice when we arrived near the entrance of the surface. We had almost gotten used to the near darkness when we noticed the caves becoming brighter, alot of the area was covered in ice so the sun just shone through. He had seemed glad to have found us alive, we had to have survived out side of the temple for so long we were even slightly dirty from staying inside for so long.
Given that our odds of survival were statistically very low i think he was sort of glad that he didn't have to have to search for us for long. Our return was met with curiosity on how we survived a frozen planet. Many masters on the council been in attendance while we spoke about Aayla going through her trial and how I had helped her. "Then we had found a starship to stay inside during the night while we were stuck". It was strange that the entire council had been slient as i dropped the bomb that we had been staying within a ship while the planet around us froze..
A ship underneath the ice was going to be hard to believe but they hadn't dismissed us yet.
There had been no evidence of our story being true but there had to have been enough scrapes on the ice. Enough evidence to at least back up our claim that a ship had been there, I had eventually unsummoned the ship while we were walking back towards the entrance. I wasn't going to leave that ship behind for them to find.
Another master had spoken to me "And what of you young Zet what of your crystal what happened to it" "Actually i couldn't find one, none had really spoke to me" was my reply to him, honestly standing between all these masters really shows the difference between our character. Some have an appearance that many would respect for a number of reasons like they all just seemed capable on going toe to toe with one another.
Aayla was then prompted to answer if anything else had happened "no master, nothing". Hearing her answer gave me internal relief, i would have been kicked out of the temple anyway for not getting a crystal. Not like being sent to the service corps was really anything to be worried about, but would they really arrest me. I could even be kicked out of the service of the jedi but was that really a bad thing at this point of my life.
Elsewhere in another system a series of trades were being plagued by conflict. A few republic merchants had been staging shady transactions. Each merchant had been slowly taking over a certain sector within the market. With meticulous planning they joined together with the overall end goal of becoming the sole rulers within the world.
"counting money has never been any easier" "just a shame those twi'leks had to die" thug one said to thug two they were apart of a mercenary band that were hired to "reposess" certain items that held a significance to the ruling party. The royalty that rightfully governed this planet. Without any of these items the current lords and lady's would not be perceived well within the cort. Sending a plea for jedi aid as soon as possible, the message has not yet dew to arrive.
After the council session was over we were given leave back in our rooms. We were allowed back into the temple section and lead into our separate rooms. Night time here is very different than under a thousand feet of ice not to say that it didn't have it's own charm. It just felt unsettling to lay in a bed again.
Zet heard tapping coming from his steel door. "Come in" entering the room Aayla sweeped the room with her eyes until they landed on Zet. She having a pointed looked otherwise unnerving and said "I didn't give you this chance so ou can blow it. Your going to become a jedi weather would like it or not. This isn't a choice you can make i know how lazy you are you wanted to fail since the beginning. Ever since you done that you no longer had a choice your going to join and spread peace throughout the galaxy if you don't I'm going to break every bone in your body".
Waking up in a cold sweat I swore i had a pretty awful dream, later downstairs at breakfast seeing Aayla Zet knew that it was no dream.
Contrary to the belief that I would simply be banished after failing the gathering. The masters were quite understanding that I couldn't find a crystal. "It was the force" "The will of the force" and my favorite one "the crystal chooses you not the other way around". I was given a practice saber to continue my eternal fight to the top during spars. I was still considered top of the class during sparing.
Being a jedi i didn't mind it i could be an excellent one if I really wanted to. Keeping Aayla off my back was just a bonus. A tournament was beginning soon one that would show how ready we were to becoming a padawan. Winning first prize wasn't mandatory to becoming one, it was more like if you won you would have a higher chance of getting a master.
Even though I hadn't passed and gotten to build a lightsaber with that cool robot dude. I was still chosen for the gathering based on my potential in the force, I was number one in the class dammit. Many wouldn't even have the chance to go, and would then be sent to the service corps. Obi Wan Kenobi had went on the gathering trial and he even got his lightsaber but was almost sent to the service corps instead because his age. If he could do it so could i because no one was too old to be trained in the force.
I simply needed a real saber to supplement it but with the right training, I would still have a chance to become a great jedi. Being a jedi was more political anyway stepping in when the situation calls for it, we were peace keepers not soldiers if could pull a win I would simply have a high potential eith a higher chance at becoming an apprentice. Becoming noticed by a master would surely get my skills up. I wonder if i could even probably borrow a training saber just to let me practice from here anyway. I wonder if they would let me just so I can protect myself and continue my forms.
A lot of masters were in attendance as today was the day of the tournament. This was the chance to prove to everyone that one of us was ready for apprenticeship whether they had gone on the gathering or not. This was the final chance for them to show off before they were either sent into the service of the corps. Or could they be reevaluated impress a master enough to be welcomed back or would they simply fall into obscurity. It was actually very serious competition, almost enough for me to sweat but I wasn't really worried about that I was the gamer it just gave my an advantage here. Everyone that the jedi gathers from a young age would be brought here to fight. Some were even unchosen children without a master that were from older years.
The competition being a lightsaber fight the rules were that hand to hand combat was allowed. But to score a point this way you would have to knock your opponent out. The other way to win a round would be to land a devastating blow on your opponent head, across the body something that would cripple if it were real. I could handle myself easily, almost every fight from the beginning of the match to the end I was tested against one form or another. There were some who had more talent than others peter brown was one such person heavy handed person preferred form three. Since our absence from the class he had shown to be able to fill in for us our spot as the top students was taken by him. Given we were only gone nineteen days he was supplemented with more guidance from the masters while we were gone was the person that took our spot to be top of the class. Even then we had supplemented ourselves with basic hand to hand training while we were on the Ebon Hawk.
Another partitioner was an older student one that Aayla was fighting it seemed that this was his final year here. Not being chosen made him put in extra effort on taking down Aayla. She was faster than him by a wide minute his form was still sloppy even after all these years of study I wonder why he hadn't just went for the service corps.
Aayla was thrashing the competition on her side of the bracket, it would appear she wasn't going to make this easy for me. And I was right i sidestepped her downwards slash, her strikes had aimed in a way to take me down in the most brutal or painful way possible. Given that she was performing correctly it was an impressive showing of an aggressive fighter.
She really liked to get within my defense. I was literally the only fighter that gave her a challenge anymore. So many had gotten they're defenses torn apart by her.
I had to backstep a few times actually before she had a chance to score a point. She was swinging in tandem with the way I dodged. It was looking like it was going to be a long fight, and it would have been if I hadn't leveled up inside that dungeon a few times now. I had experienced the actual battle field for a gamer that experience could win you just about any battle.
I was able to out preform her, my stamina lasted longer, I was faster than her, my power allowed me to push her back. I held the high ground and so the battle ended with no real unexpected outcome, random showing or outside thinking strategy. I slashed through her guard scoring my point landing a hit on her upper body.
"It would appear that you won, Zet Salazar" the master announced everyone even to the many eyes watching us. Given that I only shown off the forms we had learned throughout our time in the academy.
"That was excellent a master stood up through the crowd to congratulate me". well done boy I had hoped to see you in action my self ever since I heard all about you" This was an older gentlemen his hair looked like it started to grey on the sides of his head.
It was only later that I found out he was going to become my jedi master. Eventually the tournament ended we were officially allowed to leave.
A few weeks had passed before a certain grey haired jedi would stop by to introduce himself. The same one from the tournament. He had introduced himself as an older jedi who loved sword play he had wanted me to apprentice under him to share in his passion. His love of swords and swordplay was the one thing that drove him to take me. He wanted me to refer him as master steel first name jim.
We had spent a few months training, I was learning force techniques from him he would even give me a demonstration before allowing me to have a turn. I had always gotten it down on the first try. It was weak when I performed the skill but after a few training sessions I had the rough skill down stat.
My master jim steel before we were introduced to the council he had come here to announce that he would want me as a padawan. There had been a few curious, indifferent, serious faces in the council. Today we were going to report to the council there had been a assignment for my master a mission that we were going to be assigned to.
Reportedly we were supposed to travel to a planet called Titan 2 since there had already been a planet called titan the name seemed to fit, where the report originated, where two forces were trying to control the political atmosphere of the planet. Since there had been no current actual fighting yet my master was being called in to mediate between the two current contenders.
Eventually we had landed near a castle a fine gentleman was there to escort us. We had traveled by a speeder car for a few miles to travel to the place where the negotiations would take place. Places like this had some form of power structure rule on this planet or another. when we arrived we were then given rooms to stay in my master was needed in the room were negotiations were taking part in. I was allowed to wander the castle there weren't many rooms besides the bathing rooms the great all you can eat buffet and our rooms.
Everything was pretty much archaic very old, things were made of stone. Sometimes I would find a cobweb. I had wanted to explore more within the upper floors but those were where the meeting was taking place in.
Not much to do here really the palace was nice my training was more on political nature than anything else putting my arms behind my head in the bath I had fallen asleep to the shops of steam rising from the hot water.
