Star Wars: Champion Of The Force

looking at the small children's confusion before him, he busts out laughing... The Jedi outside the room had darkening looks, believing he was laughing at them.

"Dont take it so literally, and just think..." Komire says still somewhat laughing, "... what is the first form of communication that the Galaxy has ever formed, and there you find your answer..." at this point Komire mellows back down, and the surrounding jedi are paying more attention to him, "... It is neither complicated, nor difficult, its... Dancing."

The Jedi were sceptical, and so with a now tired sigh, turned towards Ahsoka, " Could you lead the way to a training field where I could demonstrate?"

Ahsoka nodded, and began leading the way, only to stop... stunned at seeing the crowd outside... and it's only then the rooms occupants notice them as well, however it doesn't faze Komire in the slightest.

"Come on apprentice, this will also be your first lesson." Komire says, prompting Ahsoka to walk forward, with Komire following behind. As they leave, the younglings look towards Obi-wan, and seeing him motion for them to follow, they quickly scamper to catch up to the two... the large crowd following behind them.

"Anakin, a moment..." Obi-wan says, grasping Skywalker's shoulder just before he left, "... you have a lot to tell me my former padawan... and its time you do."

Anakin sighs and faces his old master, "let's start with that weird planet we found..."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

After arriving in a large barren courtyard, where some jedi padawan dueled off in the periphery, Komire walked to the center of the large clearing, then turned to face the Jedi. looking around, Komire spots Obi-wan and Skywalker approaching the rear, and making their way to the front beside the children. over Forty Jedi, and around a dozen younglings all watched komire as he stood there.

"For this lesson, I will first demonstrate with a partner, but I will point out what I do to those unable to understand."

Komire motioned for Ahsoka to step forward, and even motioned Anakin as well...

"Master Skywalker will be the judge on techniques I will use, as he has more true combat experience than most, if not all of you."

the audience, finding nothing wrong with komires words, remained attentive... slowly drawing more people over to partake of these 'lessons'.

seeing everyone's focus, Komire begins by igniting his violet blade, and carving a three meter diameter circle around him, and proceeded to shut down his blade, and pass both of his Lightsabers to Anakin.

"I will not be using my sabers for this demonstration, but instead will demonstrate my previous words..." Komire positioned himself dead center of the circle, and faced Ahsoka, "But you young apprentice, shall come at me with all intended purposes... to kill me."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anakin was stunned by the man's words... but seeing the burning resolve in Ahsoka's eyes, he could only watch on. Ahsoka brandished her blades, and began her assault... left, right, uper-slash, cross-slash, full spin cuts... of all Anakin has ever seen her do, this was her most skilled display yet. However, Komire would side-step, back-step, jump into a small rotation over Ahsoka... and all sorts of small motions, barely dodging it seemed.

"Number one: I am using the movements of my opponent, as well as my own to make any form of movement..." Komire began, still dodging Ahsoka's barrage of emerald and lime blades, "... each step I take is counted with the steps of Ahsoka; For every step she makes, I must draw her into my tempo, and what better way to do that, than making my actions force her own reactions."

With no warning, Komire ducked and lunged towards Ahsoka... forcing her back, but as she stepped back, Komire took two of his own, still remaining almost perfectly within the center of the circle out of reach from Ahsokas Lightsabers...

"Number two..." Komire continues... for almost an hour things slowly get more intense... Ahsoka gets faster, and steadily makes Komire dodge more and more, but the elusive Je'daii was still untouched... His training in all weapons from Death herself made this show almost look like he was bullying Ahsoka... however there was a radiant smile plastered upon her lips.

This was her new Master... someone so powerful and knowledgeable that he has been teaching her, and the surrounding crowd with ease while she pushed herself to the limit... sweat poured down her body as she exerted herself, drawing even more of the Force into her exhausted body. Ahsoka kept trying all the tricks she had... even some learned fighting General Grievous... turning off her blades and re-igniteing them in a different position... Force locks arround Komire... she tried it all.

Obi-wan was however, stunned at the formes Ahsoka was using. the fact that she was using the techniques she displayed with almost surgical precision baffled the man. Although Obi-wan knew this was not a Jedi way of fighting... feeling through the force, he could see Ahsoka glow brighter and brighter... she was approaching dangerous levels of Force enhancement... but it looked so natural... she still kept the pace of her attacks, and, depending on how Komire moved, would slow down, pounce forward, hop back... or use rather quick and force filled lunges and sweeps.

"Number nine: As time goes on, the dance will continue forever, unless broken by either participating party..." Komire continues in utter leisure.

Most if not all passing Jedi had stopped to listen, watching in stunned silence at the spectacle before them... there was even a woman with silver hair hidden off in the outer fringes of the crowded courtyard... a gleam in her eye as she stared on...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

STILL WITHIN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS...

"... thus we need a plan of action regarding this General Grievous!" Master O Rancisis demanded, "We have lost too many good Jedi to his machinations, and getting rid of him would greatly speed up the end of this war."

"But we know nothing of his whereabouts and thus cannot actively hunt the machine down, as well as a Jedi skilled enough to defeat Grievous." Master Peil retorted.

The masters continued back and forth.. ultamatly deciding that the Jedi to defeat Grievous would be Obi-wan Kenobi, when the droid was finally flushed out.

Suddenly a pair of Jedi shadows stepped into the Council chamber, and immediately silenced the Jedi. The report the two Shadows submitted, made the ever stoic Master Yoda frown... "Troubling, this is..."

"How many planets were lost?" Asked Mace Windu.

"Three Master, Two colony planets in the Mid-rim, and one major world on the edges of the Mid-rim." Answered one of the Jedi Shadows," the planets life... just disapeared."

DROID COMMAND LUCREHULK SHIP IN ORBIT OVER AN ANCIENT RUINED OUTPOST OF THE OLD REPUBLIC...

"What is taking so long, (caugh-caugh)?" said a large imposing Cyborg, his voice emulator scratching and rough sounding, leading into harsh wheezing and coughing fits.

"Sir we have not been able to access the facilities databank. we have loaded up the remains of many old weapons that could be repaired." said a command droid sitting in the command chair... a dead Nemodian laying in two halves beside it.

"Hurry up, Dooku will want these to be sent to our factories to be replicated immediately." said the large Cyborg sporting a grey cloak... and hidden within... the gleam of five lightsaber hilts gleamed.

"Roger Roger." the Command droid replied, proceeding to pass out orders to the droid crew below.

MANDALOR...

With Deathwatches brazen attack of multiple clans, a massive civil war broke out amongst the New mandalorian, and the Death watch brigade... however the New mandalorian were vastly unprepared... leaving the Dutchess no choice but to send for aid from the Republic... The heiress to one of the prominent Clans is missing, the outlying houses were pushed to their limit, and more and more Mandalorians were joining Death watch... the only saving grace was that her sister had come home to fight for her family... even if they dont see eye to eye, they both represent their household in defence of Mandalor regaurdless... now if only the Republic aid arrives on time...
