"It would be useful, I think,"Rune said. Looking over his head he saw another ship flying in low, it appeared as if it was going to land near himself and Jaylen. Rune looked over to Jaylen, "Looks like we have company..Be prepared to fight if we must..be ready to flea as well, if we must."Rune said. He looked back up at the ship over their heads, patiently waiting to see who would arrive.

Jaylen saw the ship coming in as well and watched as it flew close as if to land next to them.. "Theres a familiar presence on board that ship.." Jaylen said sensing Karite on board.. "It's one of my friends from the temple.." Jaylen said wondering weather he came here on his own terms or if Cain and Nanashi had sent him here to check up on him.. Then Jaylen began to wonder, maybe Karite would join them.. If there was any hope Jaylen would try to get Karite off of that dark path at the Jedi temple..

As Karite landed next to them he began to shut down his X-83 flipping switches and pressing a few buttons before unbuckling himself out of the harness. The window above him slide open above his head and the ladder extended down from the ship. Getting up he began to climb down, dropping only after the last few steps before turning around and heading for the other two. Before long he could tell one of them was Jaylen, the other one had been one of the failed Jedi members from the initiation. He held up a single hand to the others as he approached.
"Greetings Jaylen." said Karite deciding to open with a greeting. He came to a stop a few meters from them, his white robes coming down to about his feet. A friendly smile was held on Karite's face, just below his placid green eyes and short brown hair. It looked like they had been training together, though he wondered what kind of training it had been.

Rune watched Karite very carefully as he approached them, resting his hand on his lightsaber hilt at his waist. He wondered why the wolf brought a smile to them, unless he had changed, but Rune doubted it. Rune used his left hand to part his long black hair from his eyes, tucking it behind his ear he glanced over to Jaylen, then back to Karite. "What business do you have here? We are of no concern to you..Just two failures.."Rune exclaimed. This was a lie, obviously, but Rune didn't want anyone knowing what they were truly up to. Sadly if Jaylen had refused Rune's offer back on Korriban he would have had no choice but to kill him, but if Karite didn't discover their purpose here then there would be no excuse to kill him.

Jaylen saw Karite and heard what Rune had said to him.. He could tell Rune was trying to hide their purpose for being here but Jaylen was still bent on saving Karite from that dark path he was headed down.. "Hello old friend.. What brings you here?" Jaylen said greeting Karite..

"Lord Nanashi told me to check on you, I think he's setting us up in pairs of twos. Something of the sort at least, maybe more like squads. Who knows what's on his mind." said Karite to Jaylen first since he had trained with him however he was curious as to what Rune had said.
"Failures? Jaylen trained next to me with Lord Nanashi, how has he failed?" asked Karite slightly confused at the man's defensiveness. "As for you two not concerning me your half right.... your not my peer... but Jaylen is."

Rune began to grind his teeth together as Karite spoke to him, his grip on his lightsaber hilt tightening. Though he didn't let it show, he had to keep a calm head here. Rune turned his head to Jaylen, "Don't try too hard.."He said. Rune stepped back from the two of them, letting them talk in private, this would keep the chance of combat low. Rune leaned against his stealth fighter, as he waited.

Elifains longsword ship dropped out of hyperspace above tatooine, and started a quick scan of the system. No luck here sir, there is no battle group that matches what was last comfirmed as your brothers fleet... Rindel said, but left off, as she noticed that elifain wasn't even paying attention to her. I sense something... He said quietly, before piloting the longsword through the atmosphere, and towards the desert. He closed his eyes, allowing the force to lead him, bringing the ship down to about 200 feet off the ground, and started flying in the direction he felt the force users. He saw, more or less, a big black dot on the sands, before any other ships there, and quickly moved out of the pilots chair, allowing rindel to take the seat, while moving to the exit ramp. Rindel knew what she was to do in this, so he opened the ramp, and dove, 200 feet off the ground, before the ramp shut behind him. Elifain twisted in the air, and used his telekenisis to slow his fall, before hitting the ground, 20 feet out from the group, only his vibro blade visible. He calmly stood tall, in his full mandalorian armour, black as midnight, with a red tear on the chest, with the painted image of a strill, the third fleets symbol, on his shoulder. and walked towards the group, his arms across his chest. This is a good group of sensitives... he said calmly.

Jaylen nodded to Rune and turned back to Karite.. "Pairs huh? And yeah I figured he or someone else would.." Jaylen said laughing a little.. "Karite I have to ask you something.. What keeps you there with the Jedi.. Whats your reason for joining them in the first place?" Jaylen asked trying not to be to obvious.. After Jaylen asked the question he looked over to see another headed there way.. "Looks like we've got more company.." Jaylen said..

"yeah, who knew deserts were so popular?" said Karite under his breath eyeing the person walking this way. He thought about what was keeping him at the jedi temple wondering what Jaylen was wondering about.
"The Jedi are at the forefront of the people and the republic. They are what keep the people safe from terrorists, and radicals. People like Jor Halcyon who have soiled their name and attacked the republic multiple times. I want to weild the power to stop these men, any enemy of the republic is an enemy of mine." said Karite openly declaring his allegance to the republic. "It has stood through good and bad, and I won't see the republic be swandered by the ill of heart. The jedi offer the means to an end, and they have taught me how to weild the force when my Master Luster could not. Sorry, i guess i went a little over board there. Anyways, why do you ask?"

Jaylen thought about Karites answer for a moment and on how to reply to it.. Jaylen felt the same way about the republic himself and those were the reasons he had joined the Jedi in the first place as well.. But the Jedi were making decisions that Jaylen did not like at all..
"I ask because, while the republic is important to me as well, the Jedi are not what I expected them to be.. Killing off their initiates. Teaching their pupils to embrace the dark side.. The things they do there make me think I'm in ranks with the Sith.. Not the Jedi.." Jaylen said thinking on what to say next..
"What I'm getting at here.. Is maybe the Jedi on Coruscant are not for the best.. What if we could create a better force to protect and serve the republic and all it stands for? Bring back the true Jedi.. Karite.. That path at the temple is a dark one that I would not like to see you travel down.. I began to fall but I found myself and turned away.. You should do the same.. And you would be greatly welcomed if you would join us to bring back the Jedi the way they should be.." Jaylen finished finally completely honest.. He was unsure of how Karite would respond to this but prepared himself for anything..

Elifain smirked as he continued walking forward, and cought part of the conversation about the republic, and jedi. He stopped a few feet away from two of the men, who had been talking, while his eyes were stuck on the third, who stood by the stealthx. This looks like fun... He said to himself, not loudly, as heat radiated off his armour, but he remained cool inside.

"Killing off their initiates? Who would that be? I've seen no death, and with him over there still being alive after his fight with Ash it seems your statement is false...." said Karite before thinking about what all else Jaylen had said. A sudden and grim realization came to his face now. "So your going to betray the face of the republic..." Karite was silent for a time collecting his thoughts and he slowly reached for his lightsaber.
"It seems either way we'll have to fight each other. I'm not leaving the Jedi, for they are the back bone of what the republic is. Without them the republic is nothing. Since I am not leaving the Jedi you cannot afford to let me live, for my allegiance shall ever be to the republic and thus I will have to report you as renegades where you will be hunted down relentlessly as traitors...." said Karite closing his eyes for a moment to find the right words for the situation. "If you both think you can take on the republic... You've got a whole another thing coming. I'll stop you.... If you have to die, I'd rather it be by my hand... and not someone else's."
Karite activated his Cyan lightsaber which was so light it almost would blend in with the sands of Tatooine if not for the light blue color. As it slowly hummed to life he began to reach for the force, he had no doubt now that this was going to turn into a fight, however he was not going to make the first move if it did cascade into a fight.

Jaylen had a feeling it would head to this but he did not reach for his lightsaber.. "Karite, I do not with to fight you." Jaylen said calmly.. "And we are not betraying the republic.. We only wish to protect and serve the republic in a better way.. And when I said killing their initiates, I did not mean them actually dying or anything I'm talking about their plans and what they would've done had I not escaped the temple in the first place.. I did not succeed in my test to gain my place in the temple.. I was going to die so I ran.. They were going to kill me." Jaylen said still calm..
"I do not know why Nanashi trained me after I left the temple like that but I guess I caught a lucky break.. That temple is dark Karite and once they have no more use of you they will kill you." Jaylen said finally, still not having reached for his lightsaber..

The situation between Karite and Jaylen immediately caught Rune's attention, breaking down the scenario quickly. He decided that the course so far that Jaylen had taken, was correct, hopefully he wouldn't act with violence. Rune spoke to Jaylen through the Force from beside his stealth fighter, ~You can not use violence against him..Not yet anyway..~Rune said through the Force. Suddenly the stranger who had arrived shortly after Karite came into Rune's vision, it appeared as if he was being watched. Rune wondered who this man could be, he let his palm fall onto his lightsaber.
