Zilfer shook his head slightly. It was the only thing he had left of Revan and it seemed that if this contiuned his brother's ship would soon become nothing more then a pile of rubble. It was soon that he felt a disturbance in the darkside. 'So she was serious about using Iris....' Thought Zilfer to himself, which was interupted by a question from Kitana.
"That is Iris..... the deeper you go into these technices the more destructive they become...... and the most powerful of technices are of a more perverted nature." said Zilfer before moving onto the next technice. "The next one is similar, but you use it more of a distraction, or any other use you can find for it. Flash, and you'll see why it's named that in a moment."
Zilfer pulled his mask down upon his face again so that he wouldn't blind himself with this next move. Manipulating the Photon's once again, he created a blinding flash that seemed to linger even through his visor.
"A simple technice, if you use the light correctly, the human eyesight has been proven to paralyze someone for a few moments, by overloading their sences." said Zilfer, how know moved onto the explination. "This is simple using photon's to create a flash, I'm sure you'll pick this one up quickly, however it's up to you to figure out how to use it."

Cain's shuttle exited hyperspace over Naboo and set down gently in the wilderness. Cain was following the echo of the vision he'd shared through the force with someone on this planet. As he began his search Cain's attention was caught by a blinding flash that lit up the forest. Following it he found Zilfer and Kitana in the midst of their training.
"This is simple using photon's to create a flash," Zilfer explained, "I'm sure you'll pick this one up quickly, however it's up to you to figure out how to use it."
"Hmph... since when did ancient forbidden techniques become 'simple'?" Cain asked stepping forward.

Zilfer turned to cain, he had sensed his approach however his intent still remained veiled for now. "Since there was a book writen on them.... It would be alot harder had the other side of you not writen the book." said Zilfer.

"Hmph! What makes you so sure I wrote that?" Cain chuckled, "But what else should I expect? It is just like you Zilfer, always leaping before you look."
As Cain stepped forward he noticed the others were still hesitant, their hands hovering over their weapons as if anticipating an attack.
"You can take it easy," Cain said, "I'm not here to cause any trouble for you. The fact is we're going to need each other's strength if we're going to make it through the next week alive. I'm sure you're all here training to prepare for Jack. Well I've been doing a bit of investigating of my own and unfortunately time has run out."
Cain reached into his robe and produced an old, partially burnt book that he tossed down in front of Zilfer.
"Tell me... how much do you really know about the blade of balance?"

A AT-130E Dragoon sets down nearby, it's hatch opening even before it finishes it's landing cycle. Jor climbs out with Kell not far behind. The two Jedi approached the growing group.
"You know, a large group of some of the galaxies most famous force users gathering in the open in a civilized system isn't exactly discrete. Hopefully Jack isn't looking for you, because your really easy to find." Jor said.
Glancing down he saw the book in Cains hand. "Good lord, is that... is that a BOOK!" Jor said in disbelief. "No wonder you guys still believe in all that eye of newt and blood of bat bullshit. Datapads were invented a few thousand years ago you know. They last longer and there's less chance of burning."

Kitana noticed Alex wall walking up and turned away. It had nothing to do with him personally; she had just been focusing on the Force and about to release a flash of light. In a matter of seconds after he walked up she let out a blast of green light into the forces, this ability had been known to the Jedi for some time, but she had never used it. She then heard Jor in the background and turned around. "Jor, what in the world are you doing here? It thought you were off chasing your own ghost." Kitana smiled wholeheartedly and showed that she was not making fun of him. She knew about his visions and she figured that is what he asked Odan to go and investigate.
Selene then stumbled out of her shuttle and over to the group. She was still weak from Iris, but she had stopped bleeding and washed off the blood. She noticed Cain, Zilfer and the Jedi. Selene pulled out small pock version of the Book of Lucias showing it to Jor because of his comment. She was born before the datapad was invented and there was something about turning the pages of a book that could not be replaced by the screen of a datapad. "Now if you do not mind the interruption to your history lesson Jedi, I have some news about Jack's plan. He want to create a wounded in the Force. One large enough to kill everything in this galaxy touched by the Force. It also appears he has at least two intangibles on his side." Selene was not sure how everyone would take the news, but she was sure it would be in disbelief. She purposely left out the fact that she seen all them dead after they failed to stop him.

"Hmph... great, a Jedi with a sense of humor," Cain said turning to Jor and Kell, "Well this book is several million years old. I don't think they had the luxury of datapads at the time this was written in... but to the matter at hand, I'm afraid we haven't time to worry about being discrete. Besides, I very much doubt Jack has any interest in finding us. If he did we'd be dead by now... or worse."
Cain turned back away from the Jedi, pulling one of the leather gloves off his left arm and revealing the mechanical prostheses. It was then that Selene entered and gave her prediction of things to come. It was apparent that she was the one who's vision had brought Cain here.
"Yes... that's roughly the gist of it," Cain responded, "Though there is more behind it. It would seem that the blade of balance is not really a weapon at all. More accurately it is an organism... one with an unusually deep connection with the force. I believe it is Jack's intention to destroy this organism and thus create this massive wound in the force. If we want to stop him we will need to act quickly."

"Yes, that can tend to happen to anyone careless." said Zilfer replying to Jor who had just arrived. "For a disbelieving Jedi, you seem to follow me a lot. I don't suppose your here for reinforcements, I generally assumed you could do anything by yourself."
Zilfer looked over at Cain finally as kitana spoke to Jor. "Well the book isn't on me personally at the moment but I was already aware that time was almost at a close. It seems the stirrings have confirmed it," said Zilfer shifting his attention next to kitana. "I'm sorry kitana, but we will not have time to finish your trainning, should you wish to finish in the future i'd be happy to train you."
Finally selene entered the mix once again. "Good to see that you have rejoined us, i'm afraid we may have multiplied from the time you left." said Zilfer to selene before she spoke. Then she revealed her revelation upon the subject. "Now if you do not mind the interruption to your history lesson Jedi, I have some news about Jack's plan. He want to create a wounded in the Force. One large enough to kill everything in this galaxy touched by the Force. It also appears he has at least two intangibles on his side." she said not skipping a beat from Zilfer's comment.
"I had assumed as much, with Luster taken, it wouldn't be like jack to waste a valuable reasource like Archos....." said Zilfer trailling off a bit at the end. "This won't make things any easier." If they where facing two more intangibles besides Jack it didn't seem that it was going to be the easist thing ever, but when were things ever easy with jack.
"I know the blade of balance is almost an unlimited supply of the force, which seems to come form itself and of it's ownself. The blade if it could ever be crafted has no known creator, leading me to believe that the blade is not what it appears to be." said Zilfer concluding all his suspitions that he held thus far. Zilfer remembered something, once he had seen Alex talking to Carashi, who had not appeared when Zilfer was within seeing distance, no did he sence a disturbance like that of a force ghost. It was now that Cain explained that the blade actually was an organisim.
"That makes sence.... Alex would often talk to his dead..... father." said Zilfer looking towards Cain wondering if he had already suspected as much. "I agree we must act quickly, however I want to know just why Jor one of the jedi who did not think this a threat, came all the way out to naboo's jungle just to meet with a half worn out, carbon copy, Kumori like me." said Zilfer hopping that Jor's answer was that he wanted to help. He expected som vague remark back, that would contiune to match Jor's previous witty comments.

"well you all can speak for yourself but i don't plan on being killed by a guy named Jack." Jor said with a snort. "Obviously the thought of scanning your precious book into data form never crossed your mind, but whatever, i used to have a soft spot for antiques too.
Jor held out his hand holding a holoprojector which began projecting the image of a galaxy map. The map depicted a the Horuset system and the surrounding sectors. "The republic might have found a lead on Jacks location. They detected a ship departing the planet Korriban nearly 12 hours ago. They couldn't find it's exit vector but scouting parties are trying to sniff the trail down."
Jor let the projector show the scouted areas and their findings. "Not much has been found yet so i figured i might ask one of you know it all's if you might know where he is so we can nuke him from orbit."

"Nuke him from orbit?" Cain repeated, "Hmph! You're just going to get yourself killed. And not that I have much love for the Jedi, but so long as you don't have any more ideas like that I'd assume you're move valuable to us alive."
Cain was dividing his attention between the others and his arm, repairing a loose connection that he had suffered during the battle with Kamisori. Apparently Noir's powers couldn't do much to heal machines...
"You should know more then anyone that nukes and machines are insignificant next to the power of the force. If you send a fleet after him it'll just end up as a charred stain on the side of a mountain. No... if we're going to win here we will need the force to achieve it."
Making a final adjustment, Cain slipped his glove back over his arm. He looked at the map Jor had displayed before them. Jack had left Korriban and from what the scouts had gathered the trail led off into unknown space. There was no system in that area on this map... but Cain knew exactly what was there.
"Tishi," Cain uttered, "It wouldn't be on any Republic maps, but trust me, it's there. Jack probably chose that system for the force nexus that had been formed there... not to mention it was once his home."

"This is were I agree with Cain. Fight fire with fire as the old saying goes." said Zilfer who had rolled his eyes at the thought of a nuke. "Tishi...... home of the Mitsukai.... now there's a place I never thought i'd see."
Zilfer looked between the two men before saying something else. "Well then, who will be leading this mission..... Cain, one of us will most likely have to deal with Jack, I cut none of the others out in this, however I think we have the greatest chances of stopping Jack, if we take him together, Jor your help will be must appreshiated. Forgive any of my skepticism."

"Oh, don't get me wrong. I have plenty of faith in the force, i just know that flesh is flesh and huge amounts of gamma rays and concussive force does wonders in the field of removing said flesh from living status." Jor said. "It's one thing to have faith in the force, it's quite another to completely ignore technology."
Jor turned to Kell. "Go, tell the pilot to send word to Lysander that they're looking for a planet called Tishi in the unknown regions. Have the pilot tell Lysander to get in touch with Galactica."
Kell ran off to obey his orders while Jor closed his view plate and accessed his own comm network. Patching into the Dragoons hypercom he opened comms with Republic fleet headquarters. Admiral Sirius Dagonson, commander of the 5th fleet. "Admiral, we have a probable location on Jack. Unknown regions, a currently uncharted planet with possible inhabitants. I've already had Galactica and Lysander move into the sector and remain on standby in case a fleet presence is required"
"Excellent, i'll move battle group Pegasus into the adjoining sector in case a heavier presence is required." The admiral said.
"Thanks Admiral, i appreciate it." Jor cut the link and opened his face mask again. "Republic is on it's way there now. The fleet will maintain a perimeter and make sure no ships leave the surface."

"Hmph... well perhaps you'd like to know exactly what it is that you're up against before you commit a fleet to it..." Cain said, glancing back at Zilfer and Kitana before turning back to Jor, "Or perhaps not... send in your fleet master Jedi. It is of little consequence to me. Just do us the courtesy of letting us know when you've finished so that we may clean up your mess without fear of 'nukes' ourselves."

Jor raised an eyebrow. "You done?.... Good, then maybe you'll hear it the second time i say it. The... Fleet... Will... Main tain... a... Per im eter. I'm not going to send two of the republic mot valuable ships into an uncharted system blindly, i'm not grotesquely stupid."
Kell came running back. "Lysander is on the move, so is Galactica. ETA for Lysander is 9 hours, Galactica is 12."
"Good. From here, on a dragoon, maybe 14 hours if we push the hyperdrive. Anyone need a ride?" Jor said.

"You could fool me," Cain answered, "What good will a perimeter do? Escape is in no way Jack's plan. Your technology is worthless against this opponent. As a man of war you should be aware that knowing your enemy is the most important advantage that you can take into battle. But since you don't seem to be willing to understand, let me lay it down for you..."
Cain stood with his arms at his sides as electricity began to spark all around him, generating a large electromagnetic field which would short out the power systems in Jor's suit. Then with a force push Cain tipped Jor in his armor over and to the ground.
"First of all, that armor is a death trap. If you're going to join us on the planet's surface I suggest you lose it. Second, Jack will tear down any ship you try to block him with anyway. It is a waste of resources. If I'm still not getting through to you I can show you that too."
