The Wild Party came down near the destroyed Kumori that Ryuu had hinted at over her course of the time Kitana had spent with him as a Jedi. It was surprising that she could remember all the details which made it possible to find it. One her way down she picked up large electrical disturbance, the source was the general area was also the location of two of the force life forms on the planet. She figured that would an excellent location for her to start. She brought the ship down a hundred yards from them in a small clearing.
She put on her body armor and off the Wild Party locking it up tight as she went. She headed towards the two life forms and the electrical disturbance. With any luck it would Alex and she could talk to him about what happen to Ryuu back on Malacore V. He may also have a suggestion of what to do about the Sith.

"Yet another lost soul wanders into my garden..." The voice came from behind Kitana where Alex was lying across a tree branch staring up at the sky, "I wouldn't disturb them if I were you," he said referring to Alex and Zilfer. Even while training Alex was still able to have his clones keep watch over the village, "I am curious though... what business would a master of the Jedi Order have way out here on Chinine of all places?"

Kitana looked at Alex. Kitana took a deep breath. He should it hard to produce her question with trying to offend him. She respected him for his knowledge and experienced, but still, he was an enigma to her.
"I had no intention to disturb your students, I came to speak to you. I am her because the Jedi Order is already over their heads with the Sith and we have a possible problem within the our heart."
Kitana paused, she figured that Alex knew what she was talking about so she would skip some of the details.
"I need to understand what happen to your son Ryuu on Malacore V. While he greatly assisted us this time, I felt something very evil in him. Something that could very well be our destruction rather then our savior. It was godly the Ryuu I felt, and it scared me."
Kitana voice had a motherly worry in it, which may of sounded weird but it was just natural for a mother to sound such a way.

"On Malachor V?" The clone questioned, "Well I wasn't aware that Ryuu was there... but I do believe I know what you refer to when you say the 'evil in him'."
With a smirk the Alex clone hopped down from the tree in front of Katana.
"The dark side of the force can be a monstrous thing. It is a primal and instinctual power. All of us have this power... but if we are to call upon it too much it can take on a mind of its own. An alternate and dark personality. Ryuu's had come to call itself 'Ryuujin'."
The clone closed it's eyes and turned away from Kitana, letting out a sigh.
"As a Jedi I do not expect you to understand why I would have anyone purposefully create such a thing within themselves... suffice it to say that I have helped Ryuu to maintain a level of control and you need not worry about it taking him completely... my son is too strong for that."

Kitana looked at Alex. She was shocked that a father did not know the location of his own son. She could alway in the back of her mind feel Abandon. If something as drastic as she felt in Ryuu happen to him, she would feel it even across the galaxy.
"Are you sure of that. I was connected with Ryuu, and he was far from in control of his inner demon or whatever name you wise to call it by."
Kitana paused, she should know better. This would not get her anywhere but possibly a sword in the face. She re-thought what she was about to say.
"This Ryuujin; what makes him come out, is it a conscious choice on the part of Ryuu. Is there a way to bring the personality of Ryuu back out after Ryuujin appears."
Kitana realize she was walking a fine line between being disrespectful and curious; but she felt she had no other course of action. The Jedi Order was just to weak to be fighting enteral and external conflicts.

"Hmph..." Alex chuckled, "I never said I wasn't aware of Ryuujin... just not that Ryuu was on Malachor at the time..."
The clone smirked at Kitana and leaned back up against the tree.
"It's obvious that you've come here to learn more about this technique. The Black Art... it's a Mitsukai ability that calls upon the dark side to unlock the users hidden power. When controlled it can grant the user abilities on par with the ancients themselves... but it is also possible to lose yourself in such darkness."

Kitana looked at the man. He did not seem to understand what Kitana had at stake. Ryuu with his age, experience, and skill with a lightsaber made him invaluable member of the Jedi Order. However, should his inner darkness emerge at a time which he can not regain control, he could end up destroying the order completely.
"The fracturing of ones personality seems like a dangerous path. Is there anyway to bring someone back if the lose themselves to such a darker personality."
Kitana thought she knew the way; as it was the way that the darkness is driven from the galaxy as well. Love and hope where tools far more powerful then any technique in the Force or skill with a saber. It was these ideas which kept her from giving into the darkness, even as it closed in around her.

Alex smiled and closed his eyes, lowering his head towards the ground as he took in what Kitana had said.
"The only person with the power to destroy Ryuu's inner darkness... is Ryuu and Ryuu alone. Make no mistake... there is no power that comes without a cost, and to obtain powers such as those of the Mitsukai one must be able to face and conquer this... 'dangerous path'."
The clone turned to Kitana, a serious look now on his face.
"If you've come here to try and find some way to save Ryuu from himself... then I'm afraid you've wasted your time. This battle is Ryuu's and it is one only he can win or lose. Besides..." Alex said glancing up at the sky, "you should be with the Jedi now. They will need your strength. Kenshi's first target will surely be the heart of your order on Coruscant... and if the Jedi fall then they will come for the Blade..."

Kitana looked at Alex then closed her eyes. She shut out everything around her and reached to the temple where she heard her worst fears. Kitana slowly open her eyes and gave a polite bow. She then turned to and took off running for her ship. She had hope to help Ryuu and preserve his goodness, but all she did was end up leaving the Jedi weaker during an attack. When she reached the Wild Party she jump into the cockpit and headed back to the temple.
