Karite's aura pulsated outward as he charged forward, the leaves and wind of the tree's blew backwards as if a hard wind was pressing against it. Karite's lightsaber flashed clashing with the Other's, the contrast of their lightsabers Cyan blue, and Crimson Red rang out with firy crackles as the colors seemed to bleed into that of a purple form the clashing colors.
"Well I see you've found your spirit again... but it won't be enough i'm afraid." said the Other smirking as they both pulled back from one another exchaning blows. Karite went in for an over head, side slash and then a sweeping blow all of which were blocked save the last one which the Other did a back flip over kicking Karite in the face. Not faultering after the blow Karite came forward anger building his fury of attacks growing faster and numerous as time went on. "See, even with your hate, you cannot defeat me."
Karite then flapped his wings a sudden gust of air, followed by a kicking sweep to the Other's legs landed him on his back, lightsaber in his face. "I'm stronger then you ever were." said Karite his face now hard and cold. He grabbed the other lifting him up by the robe. The Other snarled in his face but Karite's grip remained firm.
"You are me and I am you. It's time we join together." said Karite both of them being enveloped by a thick dark red arua. The Darkside began swirling around them and the Other began to disappear. Karite closed his eyes and when he opened them again he found that he could feel. IT was as if his senses had been awaked from a long sleep. Was this the force?

Ash slowly opened his eyes, an insensible buzzing in his head. His mouth was dry, and his entire torso hurt, but it was easier for him to move now. He hauled himself up and slowly limped to the Runner.
He had himself a drink of Corellian whiskey, and that helped out his head slightly. He shook it, then splashed his face with water. When he looked up and caught his reflection and was surprised. His face was more angled, and harder, and much of his forelocks were white. He didn't know why his appearance was changed. He couldn't see what fully happened to him until he looked in a mirror.
Ash shook his head and left the yacht, bottle of whiskey in his hand. He took a second sip from it, and somehow felt someone around him. He looked behind, and there was a engineer walking by. Ash cocked his head before sitting down against a crate. He waited for Lord Nanashi to get here, and for Karite to wake his ass up.
((total changes to body: more defined and larger build, white and black forelocks, harder and more angled face, and slightly pointed ears.)) [/sub]

Karite looked over to Ash who had gotten some alcohal. He smirked for a moment. "I guess you've suceeded as well." said Karite as Lord Nanashi's image melded out of the darkness into a solid form.
"I sense both of you have made a connection with the force.... if but a small taste. It seems it will now be time to start your trainning in how to actually use the force." said Lord Nanashi.

I did succeed, but I have a buzzing in my head and it will not go away. I also have something I must find find after this training. Wanna drink?
Ash held out the bottle as Lord Nanashi materialized from the darkness near the both of them. Ash set the bottle down and slowly stood up, bowing slightly to Lord Nanashi. He wondered what was in store now.
Teach me all you can, Lord Nanashi.
((Shadowflame. Ash's soon to be newest toy. lol.)) [/sub]

Jaylen stayed stowed away in the storage compartment of the ship he was on for a couple hours until finally he couldn't take it anymore.. He hopped out of the compartment and made his way to the cockpit.. "I'm going to have to ask you to hand the ship over." Jaylen said activating his lightsaber to show the man flying the ship that he wasn't kidding.
"Put it on auto-pilot for now and come here.." The pilot, frightened did as he said. When he got to Jaylen, Jaylen knocked him hard upside the head and knocked him out. Jaylen deactivated his lightsaber then sat down in the pilots seat and sighed. "I'm tired of being the damn stow away.. I don't like having to do that to people but I'd rather fly the ship myself.." Jaylen said looking out the window shock crossing his face as he did.
Out the window there was a amazingly huge Executor Star Dreadnought, still under construction, in his view.. In anyones view in the area.. "What the hell is that being built for.. And how can anyone, even the republic, afford something that big.." Jaylen muttered to himself and realized he may have just taken over the cockpit of this ship at the wrong place and time..

“That noise as you so put it is the force, you’ll learn to tune it soon for now I want you to close your eyes. Try to feel the room around you, and if you can the crew beyond working on this station.” Said Lord Nanashi’s clone. “The emptiness of the hanger save for the low humming lights…. Stretch your mind.”
Karite closed his eyes and began to listen. At first he felt nothing. He tried stretching his mind but it wasn’t working to well. Instead he focused on his image of the room, and then he began to feel something. A ripple of something in front of him and a presence off to the side where he knew Ash was. He reasoned that these two different things were Nanashi and Ash. He tried going past them beyond, he found more people, random thoughts flew at Karite as he did.
‘The boss is going to kill me for being late.’ ‘Where is that damned Coleman?’ ‘I wonder when I’ll get a vacation…’ ‘lunch break! And time to sneak in a little juma hehe…’ ‘I wonder how Ashley is doing back home, not to lonely I hope.’ ‘I’ve always been wondering… who is this ship for… no way it’s for that cloaked figure…’
They were too numerous to catch onto much coming from multiple sources that he couldn’t lock down. “Calm Karite, focus on my voice now as your center point.” Came Nanashi’s voice through it all, much louder, he was unsure if Nanashi had spoke the words aloud or to his mind. Even so Karite focused on Nanashi and soon the voices disappeared. “Never let your powers flow out of control it is dangerous. Now for your first technique I’m going to teach you is more supportive then anything. We’ll get to the fun stuff soon. I want you two to reach out to each other, and embrace each other’s presence. This is called Force meld. A useful tool in working as a team. It allows you to combine your minds with the force and draw off strength of each others.”
Karite tried no reaching out towards Ash to see if he could infact make some sort of connection with him. Awkward as it might be he had to at least try. Meanwhile Lord Nanashi's image disappeared and appeared on the ship nearby, it's controls began to move by themselves as it piloted itself into the hanger bay. "Welcome to kuat, I recognize you from the trainning, did Cain send you? Nevermind it matters little. Your here now, training has already begun, you best hurry..." said Lord Nanashi before disappearing once again back onto the ship.

Jaylen sat still staring on at the giant ship ahead when someone appeared next to him. It startled him a little and instantly he recognized the person.. Lord Nanashi from the temple. He heard what Nanashi had to say and had no time to say anything else before he disappeared.
"That was a close call." Jaylen said to himself before realizing the ships controls were moving on their own towards the hangar bay of the giant ship ahead.. "Well looks like I'm going to be trained after all." Jaylen said as the ship moved into the hangar bay..
Jaylen exited his ship and walked on through the corridors of the Dreadnought until he found Nanashi, Ash, and Karite from the temple.. "I'm ready to be trained master." Jaylen said bowing to Nanashi and waiting for the training.

Ash centered his mind, like how he usually did before a good fight, but instead of emptying it, he let it expand outward. The dull buzzing in his head grew louder the more he streachd out his mind, and eventually he found its source. A male was thinkng about a murder-rape against a female crewman who turned him down too many times.
Well, he is in for a surprise now.
Ash wondered why that one was the strongest that he found, but came to the conclusion that he didn't want the girl to be hurt. He smiled at this, and focused harder. Unknowngly to himself, his mind fed its fibers around a crate, and it started lifting off the air. That could of happen by being near Lord Nanashi, or it could have been focusing on one thing too much.
He felt Nanashi fade away, only to apear farther out into space. Even for Ash, it was hard not to feel him. Ash squeesed his eyes tighter, beads of sweat apearng on his narrower face. Two more boxes started to rise from the ground. he felt Lord Nanashi return back to the hanger.
I can feel all sorts of things around me, people and objects. Its like one giant room that I can bend to my will. Using the force will only make me a much more fierce hunter and killer. Teach me how to crush an opponent with the faintest twitch of my mind. Show me how to invade someone's mind and take what I want from them.
Ash's grin only became that much larger as he thought of all the possibilities that the force will allow him to do. It was endless. He would become the perfect killer. [/sub]

Karite had managed to form somewhat of a connection with Ash however it was hard since he hadn't been paying attention to what Lord Nanashi had told him to do. Karite figured he'd practice the technique with a more willing soul later, and instead moved onto what Nanashi would teach next.
"Your focus is wild Ash, you focus on one thing while moving another." said Lord Nanashi noticing the things moving in the room and sensing the force manipulation, it was still wild and untamed in Ash. "You can do that and much more, for now we must begin small and work our way up."
Lord Nanashi turned to them all, after setting out three boxes in front of each of them. "I want you to pick these up first and then throw them. Do not worry about throwing it just yet, I want to see if you can lift it. Telekensis is one of the most basic and useful techniques there is. One thing to remember is that size does not matter whether it is a box....." said Lord nanashi trailing off.
He casually lifted the box before continuing. "Or a star fighter." As he finished the sentance the ship Jaylen had come in smashed against the wall of the hanger making a loud scraping noise as it fell back down. "Clear your minds and focus on the box, reach out to it with your mind and lift it."
Lord Nanashi hadn't said anything to Jaylen however the box was put before him, signaling to him silently that he was part of the training exercise too.

Ash opened his eyes, and lost his concentration, and the boxes dropped back to the ground. He flinched slightly at the noise that was louder than it should have been, even to Ash. He sighed and listened to what Lord Nanashi said.
Sorry, I wanted to testing the boundaries of what I could do with this new found power. I'll focus harder at the task at hand.
Ash sighed, nearly lost his balance, and leaned against a large crate. His body was still really weak. He closed his eyes and reached out to his box. It was just like focusing on fighting, except for the box was his opponent. His lips twitched, fighting off a smile. He lifted up his hand, like grabbing an opponent, and the box slowly floated upwards. Once it was stable in the air, Ash attempted to do what Lord Nanashi first told them to do and work on the force meld, and focused in on Karite. Hopefully he had it, or else he would just be talking to himself in his head.
Karite, think of it in terms of fighting. Lift the box like its your hand doing the lifting. [/i] Ash opened his eyes, and concentrated on the box. He pulled his hand back before whipping it around like he was throwing a ball. The box took off to the other side of the hanger. Should the force feel like an extension of yourself, or is it however you make it out to be?[/center][/b][/sub]

Jaylen stared at the box for a moment before closing his eyes.. He concentrated on nothing but the box and reaching out to it through the force..
He was having trouble keeping focus though.. Finally he cleared himself and was able to focus on the box in front of him and only it.. He reached out to the box through the force and felt it start to move upwards slightly as if he were lifting it up with his own hand.. He felt as if the force was an extension of him at the moment..
He brought the box high into the air towards the ceiling of the ship and let it drop.. Right before it reached the ground Jaylen used the force reaching out to catch it inches from the ground and then setting it back down with ease.. This was incredible to him.. Like a little kid with a brand new toy.

Karite felt the connection with Ash now, and he extended it out to Jalyen now. He felt his and Ash's power pooling together so they'd be able to draw off each others power. Karite focused upon the box, he imagined a foe that he wanted to hurt and then lifted the box slowly until at last he could feel the force almost as a long range extension of his body allowing him to pick up the box, and then he shot it forward throwing it against the wall. 'What do you know, force push isn't that hard after all. Or rather Telekensis as Lord Nanashi said.'
"Be warned the Battlemeld technique can make your personalities bleed into one another, and if one person you mend with is malicious they could completely and utterly destroy your presence." said Lord Nanashi before answering Ash's question. "The force can be felt in a multitude of ways and there is no 'right way' but having it feel like an extension of your own body, just like living and breathing is how it should feel."
"Now that you can use telekensis we'll try something a little harder. Each of you need to find a strong emotion, you are going to need it for this move. It's called Force lightning...." trailed off Lord Nanashi as he pointed his hand and lightning arcs from his fingertips onto a wall leaving a scorch mark. "Find this strong emotion and focus the force through your body to your hands, and then.... unleash your fury."

Ash mostly chose to ignore force lightning, but he did use the force for a bit more punch. He made a ball of lightning in his hand, but this time, the blue was tainted with red. He faced the same all and threw the ball. Lightning curved off the back in a stream of energy, and it pierced right through the metal, melting the sides into dripping globs.
The force works wonders at amplifying my own lightning.
Ash didn't focus on an emotion when he amplified his lightning. Normally, from what he knew, force lightning was blue-black, but why Ash's was red-black was unknown, but it could have just been the force working around his lightning. He unleashed more of a bolt of lightning now, rather than a ball like before, or arks, like Lord Nanashi, at the force shield to the hanger entrance, the sheer destruction rippling the shield.
Ash grinned, focused on annoyance, and became annoyed at this petty task of force lightning. He cupped both hands at his right hip. Emotions started flooding into Ash besides annoyance: anger, hate, lust, contempt, and every foul thought. Black lightning sparked between his hands, and grew into a large ball. Ash's hands separated and started going out to stop the from hitting his side. When it reached a decent diameter,((the size of a basketball)) red lightning engulfed the blackness, but that showed through the red shield. Ash yelled and threw the ball at the shield, almost taking it down. He turned to face Nanashi.
Why make us to something as petty as lightning. I grasp that concept long before I could even talk. Lightning is nothing compared to what I can do!
Ash took a deep breath and sighed. His dark emotions started to get the best of him, and he pushed them down, keeping himself in control. Ash didn't need the force to be able to use lightning. Force lightning was just a knock off of what he could do. It didn't even faze him if he was struck by it. [/sub]

Jaylen watched Ash and then focused on trying to create lightning himself.. He thought back on his parents deaths, his uncle selling him into slavery, his owner beating him and treating him like an animal, killing his owner and living on the streets, stowing away from planet to planet the rest of his life.. All this was making him shake with anger...
He let the force surge through him and into his arm before instantly stretching out his arm and letting a large blast of lightning shoot from his finger tips blasting the box he was lifting with telekinesis earlier and charing it black before it caught fire.. Jaylen continued to exert the lightning and began to play around with it.. Creating arks like Nanashi and Ash, scorching the walls. He then decided to try something out..
Jaylen took a bit of a break and then blasted the already charred box with lightning while focusing on it to lift it with telekinesis. He let the force become an extension of him through the lightning on the box. It was much harder this time but he did it.. The box lifted in the air still being hit by lightning before Jaylen stopped the lightning and telekinesis and the box hit the floor and busted everywhere..
Jaylen let the force flow through him and become an extension of himself once more and used the telekinesis to create a force push to blow the fire out on the pieces of box laying on the ship floor.

Karite saw what Ash had done then it came to his turn and he used the idea he had gotten from seeing what Ash had done. He focused on his neurological network with a growing sense of emotions. Fueled by the anger that had once gripped him upon Kamino he unleashed straight from his hands a force lightning that erupted green. He could feel each strand of lightning as it arced outwards and he continued to split it forming more and more branches. It was like a living thing that he could control as it blasted in a wide radius towards and past Lord Nanashi who used the force to revert it around himself and slam harmlessly into the hangerbay's wall. 'Ash was wrong he can't do much more then us, the only advantage he has is there is more electrical current running through his body.' thought Karite as he waited for Lord Nanashi to continue.
"Good seems you all have a grasp on that, now I'm going to teach you one of the move useful stealth tricks I know." said Lord Nanashi who began to bend the light and soundwaves around himself. "Force Cloak is a technique that allows you to fool even droid senses. You'll need to focus on bending light and sound waves around yourself to that when someone looks at you they can only see the bend light and thus seeing nothing unusual. If you can master this technique it will be useful in sneaking into places. Now you try."
