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 were once order 66 demolished them who's currently on the council i don't know would some of the cannon ones should still be there I need to look some up otherwise it's debatable. 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 - let's just say that the guy who writes about insest isn't a participant to it game of thrones come to mind doesn't excuse what I wrote but I remember my childhood it was difficult just leave it at that.
It had been over nine standard days that they had been stuck inside of the ship. They were each in their own company and it had been long since they been able to contact another person. Xet stored away his ship within his inventory before they left Illum's cold embrace.
It was their final day within the cave many passing moments have gone by without even being slightly aware, it was a long night that Illum had gave them an ample opportunity to go over the many systems that can be found within the starship. Aayla was a far cry from being anywhere as proficient as Xet was in navigating. They would likely tell each other all they knew about planets and systems that would come up on the hologram table. There wasn't much information shared but Xet was able to show Aayla a tutorial whith the ship manual's he had safely stolen and kept in his inventory. The ship manual was from the blockade runner he bad taken a while back.
Zet had continued trying to search for his kyber crystal on his own during that time. The freezing cold was freezing most everything that touched the ice, water would become slick after less than a minute. Xet almost freezing himself for staying outside far too long.
It took a while for the ice to move again so the ship could land further up near to the surface. It took an even longer time for the sun to again shine and open the entrances.
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 when the sun just shone through. Someone in a cloak had seemed so glad to have found us alive, we had survived outside of the temple for so long they didn't think they'd make it, Xet and Aayla were even slightly dazed from staying underground for so long.
A master was there just in time to pull us out of the ice caverns we had stayed in. When we were found we were shivering and covered in thick ice. We arrived near the entrance of the surface. Aayla told the story of the lost artifacts and ship they had found underneath the ice. Xet had simply agreedwith her on her statements. The master was indeed curious or perplexed on how a ship would find its way underneath the ice crust.
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 what remained for long. Our return was met with curiosity on how we survived a frozen deserted planet. Many masters on the council been in attendance while we spoke about our experience. Aayla going through her trial and how I had helped her. Then when we had found a starship to stay inside during the time while we were stuck. It was strange that the entire council had been slient that they had been staying in an unrecognized ship while the planet around froze. "Truly the force works in mysterious ways, and do please tell us exactly how this ship looked like" spoke a Male master. While Xet and Aayla were giving a detailed description of the Ebon Hawk it just seemed that Ebon Hawk the ship just wasn't recorded in any database.
An unblemished ship disappearing underneath the ice was going to be hard to believe but they hadn't dismissed the theory 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 or track that was going to be my favorite home first most.
Another master had spoken to me "And what of you young Xet what of your crystal what happened to it" "Actually i couldn't find one, none had really spoke to me" was Xets reply to him, honestly standing between all these masters really shows the difference between their character. Some have an appearance that many would respect for a number of reasons others looked alien but 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, not getting a crystal would have already gotten me kicked out of the temple. Not like being sent to the service corps was really anything to be worried about, but would the order 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 their rooms. They 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 would blow it. Your going to become a Jedi weather you wanted to or not. This isn't a choice you can make" said Aayla. "I know how lazy you are, you wanted to fall 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" She promised Xet.
It was later when he woke up in a cold sweat he swore he had a pretty awful dream, later downstairs at breakfast when he had glanced at Aayla Xet knew that it was no dream.
Contrary to the belief that Xet would simply be banished after failing the gathering. The masters were quite understanding that Xet couldn't find a crystal. "It was the force" "The will of the force" and His favorite one "the crystal chooses you not the other way around". He was given a practice saber im n the meantime to continue his eternal fight to the top during spars. At least he was still considered top of the class during sparing.
Xet didn't mind becoming a jedi at least he didn't mind it. He could be an excellent one if he really wanted to. Keeping Aayla off his back was just a bonus. A tournament was beginning soon one that would show how ready they were to becoming a padawan disciple. Winning first place wasn't mandatory to becoming one, it was more like your skills shown or if you won you would have a higher chance of getting a master.
Even though he hadn't passed and gotten to build a lightsaber with that cool robot. He was still chosen for the gathering based on his potential in the force, he 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 gotten his lightsaber young but was almost sent to the service corps instead because he was almost of bad age. If he could do it so could Xet 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 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 was with a practice lightsaber it would need to land a devastating blow on your opponent head, across the body something that would cripple if it were a real one. Xet could handle himself easily, almost every fight from the beginning of the match to the end he was a tested competition against one form of fighting or another. There were some who had more talent than others Peater Brown was one such person, Peater was a heavy handed person who preferred form three. Since Xets absence or during his stay on illum Peater from the group had shown talent to be able to fill in for Aayla as the top student. Given we were only gone nineteen days he was supplemented with more guidance from the masters while we were gone he was the person most suited to take our spot to be top of the class. Even then Aayla and Xet had practice 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 fighter was his final year. He was simply someone that had not been chosen for apprenticeship, 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. Clearly she still had a slight grudge against Xet for the way he acted. She was correctly displaying a performance an highly aggressive fighter.
Aayla really did give them all the thrashing they didn't deserve, 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. We both held blue lightsabers and the clash turned eyeballs blue.
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. People were admiring how well either of them fought. It was looking like it was going to be a long fight, and it would have been if Xet hadn't leveled up inside that dungeon a few times now. He had now experienced actual battle and for any gamer that amount of experience could win you just about any battle.
Xet was able to out preform her, his stamina lasted longer, He was faster than her, that power allowed him to push her back. He held the high ground and so the battle ended with no real unexpected outcome, random showing or outside thinking strategy. Xet simply slashed through her guard scoring points while 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 Xet found out he was going to become his jedi master. Eventually the tournament ended we were officially allowed to leave.
Aayla was in shock just a few weeks ago they were practically on par with her coming out on top. Now she was furious she had allowed herself to fall behind him in skill he was simply too fast to block. She didn't realize that he allowed her to probe his defense before slashing through hers.
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 on as an apprentice. 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 demonstrations of the technique before allowing me to have a turn. I had always gotten it down on the first try when he showed me something. It was weak when I first performed the skill but after a few training sessions he had the rough skill down stat.
Master Jim Steel before was introduced to the council where 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. "You do know that he does not have a lightsaber" said one Master. "He has shown great talent and an excellent connection to his force power, i believe that he has yet to find one cause the force still has a plan for him" said a Jim Steel. Indeed he has shown the most talent in the many years that he's served the temple "I don't recommend it but master Steel has shown to be capable before" said another master. "Very well you may have the boy but be wary it could be dangerous to leave since padawan lightsabers have died in the past, you must ask Xet before and let him know of the dangers that may befall him".
Xet instantly accepted he already wanted to leave long ago. Today they were going to report to the council there had been a assignment for Master Steel a simple diplomatic mission that he was assigned to. Reportedly the planet they were supposed to travel to was called Titan, Titan was where the report first originated. There where multiple forces 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 and 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 current 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 catchy tune lots of steam rising from the hot water floating in the air.
