Gala closed her eyes and cleared her mind as Ryuu had instructed. It was difficult at first but she managed to finally feel something. It was like a warm comforting presence whispering to her in a voice so soft. She couldn't hear it no matter how hard she tried but it felt like whatever the presence was saying was meant to make her feel at ease. There was a light bluish light that enveloped her and her heart started beating so fast and hard she thought it was going to burst out of her chest.
She opened her eyes quickly with heavy breathing and looked at Ryuu who was looking at her expectantly. She had never experienced anything like what she had just felt but it seemed to continue to call to her even after she opened my eyes. She looked at Ryuu shyly and told him what she had experienced.
"I felt a warm presence and I could hear whispers but I couldn't understand them and then there was this pale bluish light that made my heart start racing." Gala said afraid she would disappoint him if she hadn't saw what he wanted her to see and feel.

Kitana used her own force energy to reinforce Cassus for battle. She stood in a defensive stance which helped her focus on the Force. As a councelar she would be having a supporting role.
"Surrender Sith, you are out numbered and out classed."
Kitana smiled as she stood waiting to help her fellow Jedi, but Selene was not. Selene closed her eyes and started to focus. She used Force Clone of have two other of her step out of Darth Ignostus' shadow while the other came out of the shadow to his right. The one from behind swung at the back at his knee's hoping to cut the tenants. The other one swung at his hand which held the lightsaber. Selene at the same time remain in the shadows.

Alina's purple saber ignited with a sharp sound as she faced the Sith before her. She spun quickly, moving herself into the Djem So stance. Her blade behind her head as she faced them with a cold look.
"You want to play boys? Lets play."

Ryuu smiled softly at Gala... she had only just felt the force, but was unable to decipher it. What Ryuu had seen was disturbing at best. Could it be the future? Or perhaps an echo left long ago by the darkness of this world? He couldn't be sure, but still he put on a brave face.
"That's good," Ryuu said to Gala placing his hand on her shoulder, "You've taken your first step into a larger world. Now come quickly, we mustn't linger."
Ryuu followed behind the others into the Academy where they were suddenly confronted by the abomination known as Ignotus that immediately went to attack Cassus.
"Not this again!" Cassus' lightsaber ignited and he quickly did a back flip away from Ignotus' attack, landing in an Ataru stance, "You'll have to be quicker then that, sonny."
Barry ignited his lightsaber as well, going into a Shii Cho stance and standing between Ignotus and Rin. Meanwhile Ryuu's blue blade shot out from it's hilt and he raised it up near his head, showing the Djem So form.
"Can you fight?" Ryuu asked Gala softly as he stared the Sith down.

Gala smiled up at Ryuu happily as he encouraged her with a smile and wise words. They followed the others and were attacked by Sith. Ryuu activated his blue light saber and fell into a stance Gala couldn't name.
"Can you fight?" Ryuu asked softly with his eyes locked on the Sith in front of him.
Gala shook her head 'no' but then she realized that Ryuu wasn't looking at her so he couldn't see her shake her head.
"I can fight with a katana but I can't say that I'm very good. I only learned so I could protect myself from raiders and other wanderers." Gala said lowering her head in embarrassment and the feeling of uselessness.

Ignotus senced the alteration in the force and his XZ-90 uncoiled as he spun around eletrifying his whip hitting the clone going for his leg, and then his lightsaber blocked selene's clone that has slashed for his saber arm, as the whip passed through the second clone. Ignotus turned around holding his XZ-90 over his head making the whip spin around him in an orb like formation like a sheild and then suddenly Ignotus whipped it out, and it wrapped around barros' lighsaber and ignotus pulled him forward while in the force he pushed the group backwards towards the wall they had come in from, hopping the one's he had managed to push would accidentaly hit eachother with their lightsabers. If ignotus had managed to pull barros close enough he would slash at him with his lightsaber hand.
Darth Ignotus: Come..... jedi.....
Rin saw they where fighting real sith lords, this probably wasn't the best place for her at the moment, but she would help where she could, she activated her lightsaber, without the force it would be slightly dangerous, but thanks to her lightsaber trainning over the years it would be alot more skillfull then any random person playing with a lightsaber. When Barros was pulled forward she was about to rush forward however a force pushed her backwards into a wall, no dout from ignotus, she landed after hitting the wall on her hands and knee's and looked up.

Selene noticed one of the novice getting pulled towards the Sith. This is why you do not bring them into such a fight. She vanished into her own shadow and came out though Barros's shadow. She quickly rapped her arm around his chest and using the Force launched herself backwards. She keep close to the ground, almost sliding against it. They landed near Rin and she let go of Barros.
"You to stay safe. I may not be around next time."
Selene drew her lightsaber and activated it. The Silver blade pulsed around teh black core. She jumped back into her shadow and came out right next to Cassus. She just stared at Ignotus and held her blade in the Makashi form whatever the Dark-user would try. She spoke calmly to him, with not a trace of doubt in her voice.
"I have seen people far worse then you. I am still here, do you feel lucky."
Meanwhile Kitana used Force Meld with Cassus, Ryuu, and Selene. The four of them shared a connection in which Kitana was the juncture.

Barry deactivated his lightsaber as Selene grabbed ahold of him so that he wouldn't lose his weapon to the Sith. He nodded to Selene and activated his lightsaber again. He turned to Rin and helped her back to her feet.
"Are you alright?" Barry asked.
Meanwhile Cassus and Ryuu were able to deflect away Ignotus' telekinesis with their own. They stood now between him and the padawans with Kitana and Selene.
"Careful," Cassus warned, "There's something unnatural about this one."
"I got him..." Ryuu said, stepping forward, "Gala... get back with Barry and Rin..."
Ryuu closed his eyes and used Valor. With the help of the force meld the power would raise his speed and strength to tremendous levels. Dashing forward quickly, Ryuu slashed to knock Ignotus' lightsaber away and then in the same motion spun around at high speed to deliver a back kick to Ignotus' face.

Ignotus' lightsaber was hit aside as the next jedi charged forward, and then he took a back kick to the face, ignotus didn't even flinch or hesitate in his retaliation back handing Ryuu across the face with his metal hand, and Ignotus' used insanity on the jedi group staying close together to try and break their will power, while he flipped his whip at the group again, this time at Gala.
Darth Ignotus: Is this all the power you can muster...... jedi....
Darth Ignotus remained in his juyo stance and stationary waiting for them to come to him.
Rin was helpped to her feet by barros.
Rin: yeah.... i'm fine....
Then a wave of fear hit her, and she seemed paralized with fear, and the realization that she could do nothing here against this sith, he was just..... too powerful.

Kitana stood ready. She used Telekinesis to stop the wipe in the air. Using the Force she started to spin it around tying large knots. She would make his own weapon more of a nuisance rather then a advantage. What Ignotus did not comprehend was the training of the master of the Jedi Order. They where trained to resist the Dark side of the Force. Kitana herself focused on good things like her son which kept her thoughts in line.
Meanwhile Selene vanished into her shadow as Ryuu charged forward. She reappeared right behind Ignotus.
"Stay away from my brethren you freak."
She started to copy herself from the shadows around her. The connection with the Jedi Masters provided a huge boost to her abilities. Three clones appeared from the shadows and leapt at Ignotus but this time there attacks did come in a way that would seem. The arms which that held their blades which they swung at his chest and head moved in paths which would be impossible if they where made out of bone. It was this which would make them harder to block. Selene herself attemted to cut Ignotus arm which held his lightsaber.

Alina looked towards Rin, her shaken look and frozen wide eyes worried her. She jumped towards them, blocking the whip that was about to beat down upon Gala. "Don't let him have such an effect on you. The greatest weapon of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed, Padawans." she said "One day, you'll be usefull."
She turn to Ignotus and took off with great speed, her blade slashing out at his back, a quick twirl to keep her guard up about her.

The backhand from Ignotus knocked Ryuu aside. He stood back up somewhat unsteadily, rubbing his cheek.
"Ow... well that didn't work. Guess we'll have to get serious..."
Ryuu closed his eyes and clasped his hands together. Focusing the force on all of his allies, Ryuu used his Battle Meditation to break Ignotus' Insanity and heighten each of their combat potential.
Cassus came forward now as well. With Selene attacking his arm and Alina at his back, Cassus spun at Ignotus with the help of his Ataru form to try and plunge his lightsaber into the Sith's heart.

Ignotus whip stopped in the air and started spinning however to keep the knots out he just spinned his XZ-90, to keep it from knotting up while he retracted it, and soon he was surrounded by attacks. Ignotus slashed the clones with his lightsaber taking them out with his lightsaber and longer reach. However a lightsaber plunged into his heart, and then a slash from the back, and then his saber arm was cut off, it would seem as if they had won for a second but then, instantly after his arm was cut off, a claw like hand demonic looking, shot out of where his arm was and straight to selene's neck, instantly pumping force lightning into her from his claw hand and throws her into Alina to send them backwards, the wound on ignotus back was healed in almost a moment, and Ignotus's head turned to Cassus seeing the fear in his eyes, as he grabbed cassus' lightsaber pulling it straight up out of him and his side healed almost instantly after being pulled out of his arm.
Darth Ignotus: Is that all....
Darth ignotus head butted cassus straight in the face and then kicked him backwards while summoning his own lightsaber to his hand. Darth ignotus hadn't let go of cassus' lightsaber in hopes that cassus would let go of his lightsaber as he was kicked back by ignotus' monsterous strenght.

Selene got up slowly hurting from the force lightning, but was shocked when Kitana used the force to heal the whole party from any wounds they may have suffered. Selene realize after seeing the arm regrow after it was cut off that he would need to be cut apart to overcome this.
"Dodge this."
She took several steps back and closed her eyes. Out of Ignotus's own shadow behind him force several hundred spikes which where a foot long formed. Just as they formed Selene shot them into Ignotus's back and skull. Any that did not hit turned right back into shadows to prevent friendly damage.

After seeing the attacks have no effect on Ignotus, Cassus didn't just stand around waiting. He shot his other palm into Ignotus' stomach to concentrate his force energy on a stasis field around the Sith to hold him still. At least long enough for Cassus to flip back away and go into a Soresu stance.
"What is he?..." Cassus asked, catching his breath, "I've only ever seen this kind of ability from the Gen'Dai... but this Sith is human."
"Not quite..." A voice from the darkness echoed, answering Cassus. The source slowly stepped into the light revealing itself as a man in a black hooded cloak, "Ignotus isn't really anything... he is my own creation. A little of everything that peaks my interests, you see. But I always have my eyes open for new specimens..."
"You..." Barry uttered, "You're Darth Akunin!"
"Very astute, boy." Akunin answered, pulling back his hood to reveal his deformed face, "You Jedi never fail to suprise. But I'm afraid the time for surprises has ended."
A red blade shot out from Akunin's sleeve and a smile washed over his face.
"Ignotus... let us finish them..."
