Ash took a couple moments to get himself back under control, and it worked to a better extent than he would think. His inner demon would have struck out, but it was safely tucked away. Now he watched as Lord Nanashi started bending light and sound-waves around himself.
Ash now wanted to do a test on this cloak. It would work much like echolocation, and it may be able to work because it wasn't based on sound bouncing off of an object, it was electricity, abit very small, invisible amount.
Lord Nanashi, before I attempt this, can I perform a technique on you? It would work much like echolocation, but isn't based off of sound, but rather mass signatures.
Ash didn't have much practice with this, but he did discover it when he was looking for his father in a exercise. Ash kept his eyes opened, but they started to glaze over as he focused on what he was about to do. This was impractical to use until he got some more practice, but it would work for this test. When Ash felt confident enough, he started sending out a small amount of electricity. It was far from being visible, and wasn't even enough to pick up someone's hair, but Ash felt the response almost immediately. He could 'see' everything around him, but only in blue. He focused on Karite, and Jaylen, them burning bright with life, then he let his inner eye turn to Lord Nanashi.
((ok, because you know this better than I do, and even after reading about it on starwars.wikia.com, im going to let you decide if it would work out or not. I am assuming that it does, because its only the use of bending of light and sound, and this would be good for stopping force using assassins hiding.)) [/sub]

Jaylen thought on this one for a moment.. force cloak.. That definitely sounded like a useful ability. He closed his eyes and focused on the light and sound waves around him..
He started to bend them in attempt to cloak himself as Lord Nanashi said but all he could seem to do was fade himself to become transparent at first. He instantly let himself come back to full view and once again focused on the light and sound waves but this time he was able to keep his focus better and make himself totally cloaked and invisible..
He held it for about 3 seconds before losing focus and coming back into view.. This was a bit tougher then the lightning or telekinesis but he would train on it.
"I have some questions master.. This ability may be able to fool a droid or a normal eye, but another force user would still be able to feel your presence in the force.. So is there any ability to cloak or shrink your presence in the force? Also would it be possible through the force to bend the light and sound waves to change your voice and visible appearance rather than just cloak yourself?" Jaylen asked curiously on these subjects..

Lord Nanashi smirked. "Proceed." said him as Karite focused upon bending the light and sound around him, he couldn't however he thought maye if he just focused on one at a time. He began to work on the sound so it wouldn't give off his location and then he worked on bending light to appear invisible. Now to combine them... Karite focused hard closing his eyes and centering himself he felt the force working all around him and he managed to fully hide himself, and he slowly faded back to watch what Ash was doing.
Lord Nanashi would not show up on the radar for a multiple of reasons, first and formost of all is he was an illusion not really there. He was something to fool everyone's mind, and thus Nanashi could fool Ash's senses into thinking something was there, or he could leave it as is and show that nothing was there it was all a matter of choice. A second reason was that his technice required the electricity to find something and be sent back and Nanashi could have just as easily absorbed the energy sent to him leaving nothing to be sent back save the stuff behind him.
"Be careful, when fighting a force user sometimes you cannot rely on what you think is real. Keep an open mind, but in responce to you Ash that should have worked if I were physically here and not tricking your mind. Why you would suddenly do such a thing is another question." said Lord NAnashi as he turned his attention to Jaylen. "There are ways to cloak yourself in the force, hide your presence or even give off the presence of a lightsider. If you want me to teach you this technique I can."

Ash ceast his electrical pulses, and instead went onto using the techique himself. Ash touched the light through the force, and twisted it around his body. Slowly, he faded out of existance, even more so that his cloaking device on his armor.
Slowly, he bent the sound away, becoming silent as he slowly shifted his feet. He thought to what Jaylen was saying about removing himself from the force, and decided to give it a try. He started like he was getting ready for a fight, but as well as clearing his head, he focused on his own signature in the force, and pulled it away.
Slowly, he let himself visable to everyone else, but kept hiding himself in the force, or so he hoped. Ash was curious if what he was doing was working. So far, he was adept in the force, with most things that would give him the edge in a fight, but hiding his pressance in the force? He looked at Lord Nanashi to see if he could make something out of his face, waiting for him to say if he could feel Ash or not. [/sub]

Jaylen nodded to Lord Nanashi's response. "Those would be useful abilities and I would like to learn them if you would teach me master." Jaylen said definitely wanting to learn this.. It would be a useful ability when it came to facing other force users and trying to keep hidden from them.

"There are several technices you can use, but the most common way is to use a technique that I should have perhaps taught you first, I guess we'll move onto the more advanced form. Force Immersion. I want you to picture not existing, and then focus the force around you, will the force to hide you and bend the light around yourself as well as reaching out with your mind to blend in with your surroundings. Like the technique's name I want you to Immerse yourself within the force, leaving you undectable to the naked eye, droids, and even force users unless they are trying really hard to find you or have a stronger mind then you." said Lord Nanashi at length.
Karite knew something of this technique, and Luster had showed it to him multiple times and talked to him about it numerous times as well. Surround yourself in the force and immerse yourself as if you were in a stream, let it flow through you and become one with it. Karite called upon the force, it was really easy because of the meld still up and he was assuming it was making everything easy for the others as well. He soon managed it he could feel himself immersing and almost as if miggling with the force.

Ash listened carefully to what Nanashi was saying, and had a feeling that he was doing everything wrong. He was drawing himself from the force instead of molding it around him. He closed his eyes, leaning against a crate because his legs almost gave out on him.
Ash focused on turning himself invisable again, and then started pulling himself into the force. Af first he didn't feel anything, then he started to feel what felt like cool water start to run over his body. Soon, it was like a forceful flood that rush over him. He imersed himself in the rush, and let it mask his body and his sign in the force. [/sub]

Jaylen nodded and closed his eyes.. He pictured himself not existing, and He focused on the light and sound waves around him again. Bending them around himself to make himself invisible and reaching out with his mind to blend in with the environment as Nanashi had said to do.
This time he got it.. He cloaked himself and held it this time.. Then he began to immerse himself within the force.. He felt it slightly at first and soon he could feel himself completely immersed in it..
He could feel the force all around him running through him, and everything else. He could feel it rushing past him and around him but not uncomfortable. He immersed himself deeper into it to hide his signature in the force and his presence all together..
Jaylen opened his eyes but he kept his focus. Jaylen was wondering if he had suceeded while keeping his focus on staying immersed in the force and keeping the light and sound waves bent around him. He kept it all up and looked at Nanashi to see if he had gotten it right..

"Good seems you progress quite quicker then I had originally imagined. The last move I will be teaching you all for now is called Force Speed." said Lord Nanashi as he suddenly ran forward across the hanger with incredible speed that almost made it seem like he had disappeared form his location and reappeared at the other. "With a full mastery of Force speed you will be able to move as fast as that."
Lord nanashi faded into the shadows only to reappear in front of them arms cross. "Now this one as always your going to need to focus, but this time focus upon your body and your sences. If you are doing it correctly everything should appear to you as if in slow motion, this technice allows you a greater burst of speed, and duration. Master's can sprint for miles on end without breaking a sweat. There are some draw backs however...." said Lord Nanashi as he let his hands drop back to his sides. "The longer you use this technice the more time to recover you will need, it will speed up your metabolism and drains your pool of force energy. Needless to say if you do this for more then a half an hour your going to be as hungry as a rancor."

Ash tilted his head slightly. To him, most things moved in slow motion, giving him a advantage to most humanoid species, but this made him smile. He nodded to Lord Nanashi, closed his eyes, and focused upon his body and senses. After a couple of moment's he started to have a weird tingle running throughout his body. He opened his eyes and looked at everyone else. They moved slower than usual to Ash.
He cocked his head again, and looked at his hand, swinging it slowly. It moved at human speed, then he moved it faster, going up to Ki speed, which was much faster. After a moment, he stopped, and looked back around at everyone, and they were still moving slowly.
Ash let the technique leave him, and everything went back to normal. Ash flexed his hand, getting the tingle out of his fingers. He got his blood flowing through it again. He wasn't use to moving at faster speeds besides in a fight. He grew into a habit of moving his body slower as to not scare people. They did get frightened when he moved inhumanly fast. Slowly, he looked at Lord Nanashi.
Is that all that you will teach us?
Ash knew that Nanashi said that was all, but he wanted to learn as much as he could. He had a huge grasp of the force already, and was eager to learn more. [/sub]

Jaylen did as Nanashi said and focused on his body and his senses. He focused on his muscles to increase their speed and his senses to become more keen and accurate..
Jaylen continued focusing on his body to bring his entire body up to pace with his newly heightened reflexes.. He looked around himself and as Nanashi had said everyone else did seem slower.. They weren't much slower though..
He re focused on his muscles and senses again harder this time augmenting the muscles and increasing his senses once more while bringing the rest of his body up to pace with these new senses. Finally Jaylen could see everyone else moving considerably more slow than the first try..
He took a quick run to the middle of the room and back to where he stood and let the ability drop.. Knowing all of this felt great.. And being able to use it felt that much greater..

Rune touched his com-link from Zeltros, sending a message out to Jaylen, "This is Forebearer. I'm not dead as presumed. Tell no one of this. I have stumbled onto evidence since my supposed demise, your not safe right now. I have no time to explain though over this frequency, give me a location and time where we will meet. Over and out."Rune said into his com-link, transferring to Jaylens'

Jaylen stood there awaiting further instruction from Lord Nanashi when a message came through on his com link..
"This is Forebearer. I'm not dead as presumed. Tell no one of this. I have stumbled onto evidence since my supposed demise, your not safe right now. I have no time to explain though over this frequency, give me a location and time where we will meet. Over and out."
Jaylen stood still not knowing what to do after this.. Rune was still living? Jaylen was slightly confused now due to the fact that he watched Rune being carried out of the temple by Ash dead.. Now the next problem was how to reply.. He couldn't reply to this with Nanashi and the others just standing right there.. And what was he talking about when he said not safe? This was all unsettling to him..
Jaylen decided he would reply to Rune later on when he wasn't around Lord Nanashi and he could safely give him a time and place.. So for now Jaylen stood ready for any further instruction from Nanashi..

Lord Nanashi seemed unphased by the message that had played from his comlink for all to hear, it didn't matter if Nanashi was standing far away, because what they saw wasn't an actual physical body, he was sensing and listening from many planets away so whatever was said within this room and surrounding area was picked up by him, still his illusion made no move.
Karite who hadn't noticed the message consentrated on his muscles using the force to augment them as Lord Nanashi had said and he dashed forward and then took off with his wings swooping around the room faster then he could have thought he could fly, and almost crashing 50% of the time before he came to a stop landing with a jolt sending him down to his hands and knee.
Lord Nanashi smirked then, and held up a hand that started to spark lightning. "No, there is but one last lesson I would impart unto you. Draw upon the force now for you are going to need it, the technique I wish you to learn is inate and is only gained by your instincts. Prepare, for here it comes." said Lord Nanashi who was now finally teaching them the art of Precognition, the ability to sence danger just before it would happen. It's what gave most jedi their lightning like reflexes. The lightning in front of them was being made for a reason but it the obvious attack.
Karite began to draw from the force letting his awareness spread outwards as he prepared for Lord Nanashi to unleash his attack whatever it was going to be he would need to be ready for it. It was just seconds before three images of Lord Nanashi appeared behind them swords already drawn and held above their head slashing downwards for a killing blow, Lord Nanashi had put a deadily ferosity to the telekensis behind the blows that would rip them apart. Karite senced something of what he wasn't sure but the force seemed to him to scream suddenly. 'MOVE!' it seemed to scream and Karite used force speed dodging the blow as the illusion disappeared after slamming down on the ground at the exact spot he had just been....
'God damn.... if I hadn't dodged.....' thought Karite looked back to Nanashi who seemed only gazed back like an impassible stone. Karite then looked to the others to see if they had survived as well, he understood what Lord Nanashi was trying to teach but did he really have to take it to such a deadly level? Even trick us into thinking the attack would be coming from the front?

Ash let himself be drawn into the force as he watched as Lord Nanshi started to ark lightning in hand. After a second, Ash felt the hairs on the back of his neck start to rise. He turned, only to see a clone of Lord Nanshi behind him, sword above his head. Ash used force speed and jumped back, bairly dodging the attack.
He landed hard, kneeling down to keep stable. His body started aching again from it being abused. He had the double bladed lightsaber off his back and both blades were lit. It was held off to the side in Ash's right hand.
Tricky. You need to teach us how to do that, Lord Nanashi.
It was only precognition that saved Ash, because the attack came with no sound whatsoever. Ash stood up and bowed slightly to Lord Nanashi.
Now I will take my leave. If you have anything for me to do, contact me. I am at your and Lord Cain's disposal.
With that, Ash departed in New Wave Runner, and left Kuat. His small group of ships fallowed the small Yacht into space. They would collect the smaller ship at a different section in space. [/sub]
