The Knights stood around the command center table as they discussed the future of their cause.
"What we need to do is strike the Sith where they least expect it." "Yes, but where?" Zenun asked Jefro.
"Talos is a huge staging area for Sith Apprentices." Jefro suggested.
"I agree. Although Revan will not think much of it being destroyed it will still cause him to be wary of us." Bastila added "Whatever just as long as we end the Sith." Neeux said.
"I like this guy. Might be a little nuts but he fits my style." Mission added.
"Great, two of them now." Zenun said to himself.
"What!" Both Mission and Neeux said in unison.
"Calm down. We strike tonight. Be ready and be prepared." Everyone agreed. As the Jedi left the room, Jefro, Zenun, and Bastila remained. Zenun stared at the old Jedi Code and insignia that was hung up on one of the walls and said, "Look at this: Emotion, Yet Peace; Ignorance, Yet Knowledge. This makes no sense."
"It makes sense in terms of Force but in terms of the mind it does not. There should be changes for better understanding, I agree." Jefro said.
"How about this: Emotion but always Peace; Ignorance but always Knowledge; Passion but always Serenity; Chaos but always Harmony; Death but always the Force." Bastila suggested.
"I like it." Zenun said.
"Same." Jefro added.
"I'll make the necessary changes." Bastila said. The two Knights walked out of the room as Jefro spoke and said, "I'm going to go relax."
"As you wish. I'll see to the scouts as soon as they return." Zenun answered before turning and leaving. Jefro walked to his quarters to rest.
Neeux was in the Jedi training chamber practicing against droids. He side stepped and slashed one droid in half before countering and slashing another right behind him. He threw his saber towards one more as he used Force lightening on the last one. He caught his lightsaber as the final droid fell, smoke rising from it. Mission was leaning against a door and waited for him to finish before saying, "Some work there." Neeux turned around and said, "You could learn a thing or two." Mission stepped forward and said, "You doubt my abilities?"
"You said it." Neeux said sarcastically.
"Very well. Arm five more droids." Mission said. Neeux looked at her curiously before walking to a wall and pressed the button on it. Five more droids rose from their storage underground. Mission drew her blade and lunged forward, piercing one droid. A droid came from behind her and tried to attack but she quickly spun around and pierced it as well. She looked at the other three and Force pushed them into the wall before Force gripping one and slamming it down on the other two. When she was finished she turned, walked up to Neeux and got close as she said seductively, "You could learn a thing or two." before she brushed past him and strolled out of the chamber. Neeux stood there, looking out after her, confused, before leaving through another door.
Zenun was with the scouts that trickled in sporadically. He did not receive good news. None of the Knights were willing to join but instead joined Revan and Malek. He sent the scouts back to training to keep them busy. Most of them meditated. Zenun was waiting for Eyu to return which she did after a few minutes of waiting. She exited her starship and walked up to Zenun and said, "Master Zenun, Master Quinto has agreed to join. He is rounding up a large force of Jedi that lay under his command."
"Marvelous. Good job, kid." Eyu smiled before doing the same as the other scouts. Codan walked up to Zenun and said, "So we going to war now?"
"We are oh so close to it." Zenun said.
A few hours went by as Jefro was in his quarters sound asleep. His eyes could be seen moving rapidly under his eyelids. He was dreaming: 'On a dark and eerie planet stood only Jefro and another figure. Zenun and Bastila laid defeated but not dead beside him. Jefro stood ready as the figure turned around and said, "You have come here for nothing, Jedi."
"You know nothing, Sith scum!" Jefro said angrily.
"I know nothing? I know that you will die here and that it will all be in vain!" the figure said as lightening rained from the sky, racing towards Jefro... Jefro awoke from his dream and jumped up grabbing his chest. He looked around the room to realize that nothing happened and began to calm down. He raised his hand to his head as a knock came from his door.
"Come in." He said. Bastila entered frantically and said, "I need to tell you something."
"Sit down." Jefro said as he shifted in his bed to an upright position. Bastila sat down and said, "I went to sleep after I finished the Code and I just dreamt of me and a figure standing on a planet with you and Zenun dead, beside me."
"You too?" Jefro asked concerned.
"Yes?" Bastila said, shocked that Jefro too had the same dream. Jefro got up and said, "This is strange." while pondering what could be happening. Zenun rushed in and said, "Guys!"
"You had a dream and we were dead, right?" Jefro asked quickly.
"Yeah, how'd you know?" Zenun asked. Jefro shook his head and said, "It seems that we three have a Force Bond." Neeux and Mission rushed in as Neeux said, "We just had the same dream! We were fighting on Endor and a Sith was battling us. Then the dream blacked out!" "Mission, you had the same dream?" Jefro asked even more concerned.
"Yes!" Mission said, also concerned. Jefro walked towards a wall and punched it as Bastila stood up and said, "Jefro! What's wrong?"
"It seems that all our fates are tied together. Us three have a Force Bond and you two have one as well. That is the highest level of Force understanding any Jedi can have between one another. It is extremely rare." Jefro explained.
"So isn't that good?" Zenun asked.
"Depends on what the fate leads to and for us it is most likely death." Jefro explained.
"Can it be prevented?" Bastila asked.
"Yes, but it is very hard to prevent the inevitable."
"What about us?" Mission asked.
"I do not know of yours. That's for you two to figure out. I do not share in your Bond." "It must have something to do with Revan." Neeux suggested.
"Perhaps. You will have many more dreams to come, as will we. We can now understand each others thoughts, those connected to us that is. If you all will excuse me, I need to meditate upon this." Jefro said as he left the room quickly. Zenun looked as he left before turning to the rest and saying, "Its best we calm down. We should not fret. Do what you normally do and don't let this become a nuisance." He then left the room too. The others did the same.
Out in the forest was Jefro. He was meditating in complete solitude. The forest was completely quiet. He was focusing on moving a small rock and trying to balance it on a small leaf as well as trying to reconnect with the Force Bond. He noticed something peculiar. Senator Dellos was standing in front of him on the planet. He tried to reach out to her as she did back. She had a worried look on her face that turned to pain as a red lightsaber was pushed through her body. She fell to reveal a figure standing behind her as it said, "All will die." before the vision became foggy. Jefro snapped out of it, wondering why Senator Dellos was there. She had no connection to the Force to his knowledge. Jefro jumped up and hurried back to base.
