CHAPTER 4

When Ichigo and Yoda returned, Luke nodded and put in the holocron Olivia had brought, for them all to view. The lights in the room dimmed and a projected image of a human Jedi walking around some kind of lab that held large chambers of liquid resembling bacta tanks everywhere.
The timestamp on the projection was a few days before Luke encountered Olivia.
The fluid inside them was green...and there were humanoid fetuses floating inside them with tubes connected to them!

"If something should happen to me, I will find a way for this holocron to reach you Grand Master. The dark side is strong in this place, every hallway I venture down I feel myself growing more frightened and paranoid. I have been trapped here for days, I merely meant for this to be a reconnaissance mission to investigate the malevolent power that dwells here. Never could I have imagined stumbling upon something so hideously evil." Suddenly the jedi looked around frantically and ignited a yellow lightsaber..only for the recording to fizzle and change.

The holocron cut to the man restrained to a table, as a Twi'lek female with red skin and Sith tattoos torturously electrocuted him with force lightning. "The pain will stop when you reveal the location of the Jedi temple!" She spoke as she let up on the torture..for the moment. "You can torture me….all….you like…...but I'd rather die than betray them." The Jedi spat.
The Twi'lek smirked, "How noble of you, of course...you would know something about bravery wouldn't you?" She toyed with him by seductively running a hand across his chest and speaking softly, but they could still hear her.

"Tell me….how you survived the Order 66 Jedi Purge? It was your master Depa Billaba wasn't it?" She asked rhetorically. The Jedi turned his head away, squeezing his eyes shut to try to block her out.

"Master Billaba laid down her life for yours, her student." Darth Talon's face was showing cruel glee at the Jedi's suffering. "Tell me what her last words spoken to you were."

The poor Jedi spoke only a single word in a pain stricken voice: "Run."

Talon grinned, "And do your precious Jedi friends know that you fled as your master fell? Abandoned her and forsook the Jedi order..when they needed you most? What do you think they would do, if they knew one of their Knights was a coward?"

Rukia's eyes were wide with shock "How could someone be so cruel?" she whispered. Ichigo's brow was creased with anger. "It's like seeing Aizen all over again, but without the boredom in his eyes!" He said. Toshiro looked… like he was determined. determined to do what, it was hard to tell. that is until he spoke. "Is it possible to track these 'holocrons' when sending them? Is it possible to follow their signatures, I mean?"

Luke nodded, "It is-" before Luke could speak any further, an explosion rocked the temple and shattered the windows out behind the group. Younglings were heard screaming and lightsabers ignited throughout the temple. "The Sith are attacking the temple!" Kyle Katarn burst into the room, igniting his blue blade. Luke tossed off his hood and cloak and ignited his green blade, "Protect the younglings, you three!" Luke shouted over his shoulder.

As soon as Luke left, an Ithorian delivery man wandered in with a rectangular box. "The Kyber crystals you ordered, Master Luke!" The Ithorian looked around and blinked his beady eyes. "Uhhh...this a bad time?"

"Not at all. May we see them?" Toshiro said calmly. as he was handed his crystal, which was a deep blue. Rukia took hers, which was more of an icy hue and said "So how do we use-"

Ichigo picked up a purple crystal and touched it to Zangetsu where it was absorbed instantly.

"That answers that question." Rukia shrugged as she and Toshiro did the same. Olivia ran after Luke, drawing twin blaster pistols "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" She screamed as if it was an offensive tactic to give away your position, guns blazing.

Rukia walked out into the fray, silently boosting her speed with Flash Step to dodge the onslaught of Sith Acolytes "Some no mai! Tsukishiro!" She said, freezing a group of seven Acolytes that were about to kill a group of younglings. they shattered along with the pillar of ice.

Toshiro stood in full view of the ship that had blasted a hole in the temple wall. The pilot of the shuttle called to two figures. "This one is not in our records sir. the Holocron was incomplete perhaps?"

"Perhaps… but I do not tolerate failure, and "Incomplete"... is a failure!" One said as a red beam was forced through the back of the man's chair and into his chest.

"Reign over the frosted Heavens! Makashi Hyourinmaru!"

"WHAT!?" The man in the shuttle shouted as the katana of the white haired mystery boy lit up a dark blue hue and he held his blade to the side, arm outstretched and as the Acolytes charged him, slashed them as soon as they were in ranged of his outstretched blade radius.

"It seems we've underestimated our opponents… Cythe! with me!" The man said. "Yes, master!" A feminine figure wearing a black cloak cried as she too leaped out of the ship and into the fray.
The black cloaked figure landed in the midst of several Jedi fighting off the Sith acolytes. Cythe ignited her saberstaff...but kept it to single blade activation..for now.

Yoda appeared next to Toshiro, looking out at the ship and raising a clawed hand..the ship began to sway and crumble from Yoda's power until it exploded in a fiery blaze. Obi-Wan stood next to Rukia and blasted a group of acolytes through a wall with a mere flick of his wrist.

An acolyte made to decapitate Olivia...but something blasted him across the room, causing the acolyte to drop a stolen Padawan's lightsaber at Olivia's feet. A middle aged force spirit hovered the hilt over to her with the force. "Young lady, I do believe this would be a more suitable weapon to use. Besides, you want to live to see that sparring match with my son don't you?"

In the center of the inner sanctum, most of the Padawans and Knights had given Luke and the Chagrian Sith Lord a wide berth, due to the sheer power the grand master exuded..nobody wanted to get in a pissed off grand master's way.
Cythe stood before Toshiro and smirked as she tossed away her black cloak to reveal she was a Chiss with cobalt skin. Cythe sensed an attack coming from one of the Padawans, she ignited the other end of the blade and buried it in the boy's stomach before throwing him out of the way with the force.

As the padawan fell dead, Toshiro calmly and discreetly gestured to Rukia and made a two fingered motion towards Cythe. She nodded and they both surrounded the cobalt skinned Chiss, one to her left, the other at her right. Rukia had a calm expression as she used the elements of surprise and ice. "Some no Mai! Tsukishiro!" as a circle of ice formed at the Chiss' feet.

Cythe leaped out of the circle towards Rukia, spinning her lightsaber with its two blades around between her hands. She swept her red blade in an arc, aiming to cut off Rukia's head.

Rukia used flash step to disappear from view and reappear directly behind the Chiss in the time it took for her to land on her feet and miss the chance to behead her opponent.

Toshiro simply stood there, a blank, calm look on his face, arm outstretched, waiting for his opponent to make a move.

Olivia looked at the blade, then at Anakin and gasped once she recognised him from a holocron she had previously witnessed. "I suppose I need permission to date that sexy piece of ass from you then?" she said, taking the hilt and picking up one that another dead padawan wouldn't be needing, holding them in forward and backhanded style as she leapt through a group of twelve Acolytes while spinning like a corkscrew.

Anakin smiled, "Hardly, feel free to. I think you'll both get along fine."
