'This is tiring!' Bren exasperatedly thought as he walked through the desert.
Ever since he arrived on Tatooine on the Jedi Starfighter that Dural gave him, Bren walked through the sandy desert, eventually walking into the Dune Seas that were infamous for killing off people. He wore his Jedi robe over his usual outfit to protect himself from the sand storms and the heat, but it would not help when it came with walking. For what felt like an eternity, Bren continued to trek through the desert wastes of Tatooine in hopes of finding the source of that dream he had been receiving for the past few weeks. Unfortunately, he did not that much success in finding what he was looking for thus far.
Bren's thoughts were interrupted when he heard idle chatter from a distance, making his head turn to see two more figures walking towards his direction. The two figures were having a friendly conversation, seemingly trying to pass the time as they walked the Dune Seas. Both wore what appeared to be robe of a Jedi; one's was right, while the other's was black. The cybernetic Jedi could sense two auras emitting from them. However, those two were not the only ones Bren sense, for he could feel two more presences approaching the same area that he and the other figures were at.
When Bren turned his attention towards the robed figures, he saw the two had finally noticed Bren's presence and now approached the vicinity with caution. The two figures that Bren noticed were none other than the twin brothers powerful in the Force, Varren and Genta. They looked at Bren, wondering who he was and what he was doing on Tatooine. "Hey Genta, who is that guy?" Varren asked as he looked at his twin.
"I don't know," Genta frowned. "We should go check him out."
Bren watched Genta and Varren walked towards him, and he could finally realize the auras of the twins coming towards him. Genta's was of light, yet his brother's was dark. The dark aura was familiar to Bren and he recognized that only one type of Force user had that kind of aura. "Sith!" Bren growled.
When Genta saw Bren reach for his lightsaber, the alter ego of Valor reached for his own lightsaber hilt, and two lightsaber blades of aquamarine green and blue came to life. Bren would have attack Varren if Genta did not immediately stepped in front to protect his twin brother from harm of the cybernetic Jedi. "I won't let you harm him!" Genta
"This doesn't involve you!" Bren snarled as his grip on his lightsaber tightened. "He's a Sith!"
"He's also my brother!" Genta retorted as he kept his lightsaber pointed at Bren. "You're going to have to go through me first!"
Genta heard the sound of a lightsaber activating behind him and he looked out of the corner of his eyes to see Varren standing beside his brother with his red lightsaber in his hand. "Thanks Genta, but I can take care of myself," Varren said as he twirled his red lightsaber in his hand. "I can take care of this."
Bren just stared at the Jedi and Sith twins in confusion, wondering how it would be possible for members of two orders of Force user that raged war with each for so long, to be standing next to each other as allies. Again, Bren sensed their auras once more, this time with more clarity to find out that Varren's aura was dark, yet there was no malice nor rage and in fact had some pocket of light. It was the same with Genta; light, yet maintain some small hints of darkness.
Before Bren could contemplate the twins, he, Genta, and Varren noticed two more figures approaching the area with keen interest, from different directions. The trio, though having their lightsabers out, turned their heads to see these two figures were Kage and Leo, who each wore their usual outfits. "What is going on here?" Leo demanded.
"That is something I would like to know," Kage added, curious as what events led up to this.
"It's none of your concern," Genta calmly told the two, unaware of the fact they were Force Users.
Kage and Leo looked at each, noting their respective lightsabers hanging from their belts as well as the Force aura that surrounded them. They both could feel confusion coming from themselves and everyone else around them. Though they did not know each other, Kage and Leo could sense from each other that they wanted to stop any blood from being split,so they removed the lightsber hilts from their belts. "Oh, I think it does," countered Kage as he activated his black blade and Leo soon followed, activating his gray blade.
Bren and the twins, soon, found theirs blades not focused on just each others, but on Kage and Leo as well. The different parties could feel tensions rising between one another, as one side wasn't sure what the others would do at the moment. The only sound that filled the air was the hum of the five colorful lightsabers, until Leo said, "It's seems we're at a stalemate."
Again, only simultaneous hums of lightsabers filled the air around the five Force Users, each one cautious of the other. Kage looked at the other four for a moment and realized that this was getting no where, so he deactivated his lightsaber and hooked it to his belt. "Look, before we all start killing ourselves, why don't we first know why we're all here?" Kage questioned
At first, no one was willing to answer as they glared at each other with suspicion in their eyes, but Leo stepped forwards and was the first to answer. "I know it sounds weird, but I came here because of a dream," Leo spoke as he lowered his gray lightsaber.
When hearing that, Varren and Genta lowered their lightsabers a little. "Same here," Varren nodded.
When hearing that answer, Kage had only one thought going through his head as he asked, "Let me guess, this dream had a ghost and this planet?"
That statement surprised the other Riders in the vicinity as they simply lowered their lightsaber baldes. "How do you know?" Genta asked, his eyes leaving Bren only for a second.
Though Bren could feel the uneasy tension, he knew the answer within less than a second as he replied, "It's because we all had the same dream. What other explanation is there? Something drew all five of us here for a reason."
"Well, we can agree on something," Varren said as he kept his lightsaber focused on the alter ego of Aqua.
"Well, it's a start," Kage muttered to himself before he introduced, "Why don't move on then? My name is Kage."
He was hesitant, but he eventually deactivated his lightsaber and simply spoke, "Bren."
Seeing Bren's lightsber blade extinguished, Genta and Varren deactivated theirs, hooking them to their respective belts. "My name is Genta, and this is my brother Varren," Genta introduced himself and his Sith twin.
"I am Leo," the alter ego of Kane was the final one to introduce himself as he deactivated his own gray blade.
Kage nodded after everyone was done introducing themselves. "Now then," he began, "maybe we should first figure out why we're here, instead of killing each other. At least that way, we can find some answers."
"That's find by me," Leo was the first to comply.
"Same here," Genta replied before turning to his twin. "What about you, Varren?"
"It depends," Varren said as he turned to look at Bren, "can you tolerate working with a Sith?"
Bren's suspicious eyes met Varren's own as he resisted the temptation of grabbing his lightsaber form his belt. "I can," was Bren's answer.
"Good enough," came from Kage, making everyone look at him. "For now, we came here for the night. Until we figure out our dream, we'll go with whatever suggestion anyone has. Alright?"
Everyone nodded, yet Kage could feel the uneasiness, which made him mentally sigh. 'This may take a while.'
