Put her hands down and looked up at Jor. It was not easy to tell if Elisa was in fact still in her body. She seemed to come out of the daze and speak. "I only feel Ash the stone and myself. You were just a voice in the darkness." Elisa said calmly. She wanted to say that she could get it closer if she did not have to hold the stone with her hand, but she figured that was not the point of the exercise. So she once again closed her eyes and did the exercise. As before she quickly fell into a Zen state and her focus left everything but the Stone and Ash hand. She her own once again mirrored Ash movements, this time however she attempted to move it even closer without it making contact. It seemed to work for a little while then it would touch and she would try again. At the extremely close distance she found that making the minor adjustments which was the time to process Ash own feelings and react was not fast enough. If only she could directly connect with his mind, then it would be possible.

Ash grimaced for a moment as a small breath of cold air swirled around him and Elisa, but he took a breath and slowly let his crystal get closer and closer to her hand. He continued to tune himself to Elisa's movements, but still, despite how simple this training may seem, it was still somewhat difficult for him, mainly because how he was previously trained. Sweat beaded his forehead as he nearly lost concentration again, but he somehow managed to keep it.
Moments later, Jor decided to check up on their progress. Ash let his hands fall to his side, crystal fully grasped in his hand. He spoke up what he was feeling after Elisa finished what she had to say.
I feel Elisa, our stones, and our reaction time. I can sense everything else, but it has no meaning to this training right now. It will take more than one night to fully get the hold of control, and I have no time unless I am to break my current ties.
Ash closed his eyes and brought up his hands to continue the training. He let his mind drift off again, but he started to try to forge a deeper connection to Elisa. He let his mind press against hers, trying to let her open it so that he could feel her reaction times, and so that she would be able to feel his. He would need to be careful about keeping almost everything else closed off, much more careful than everyone else would. His mind was the only place for him to get away, and where he hid every deep and dark thought, power, and anything else that was not fit for even Ash. [/sub]

Drake smirked at what Jor said "Yeah well some people are just pig headed" he laughed saying this. He cracked his neck and walked back over to the fire he had decided to wait to start his training, he sat down and leaned against the rocks watching Jor and Genie interact with one another. He turned to the Holocron "so old dude" Drake said to him "You've heard our situation, whats our chances for success...pretty bleak right?" Drake smirked at him.

"To much. your trying to concentrate on too much. instead of yourself, ash and the stone. all you need to really concentrate on is a tiny piece of Ash's palm and the tip of the crystal that will touch it." Jor said. He closed his own eyes and opened his mind to the force.
Jor could feel the mental bond between them and it surprised him. Elisa was still a novice and she had thought of an out of the box solution to problem presented her. It also was fairly advanced. Jor logged that information away. Perhaps she wasn't as novice as she seemed. "See, this sorta kinda mind meld thing you guys got going on is lovely but advanced and overly complicated. Instead of trying to sych yourselves with each other, just reach out and get the stone as close as you can and let the force tell you how you need to move your hand."
Kieran turned his holographic head over to Drake and crossed his arms. "Bleakness usually has a way of changing hands at the drop of a hat. One man's desperation may change to his enemies overnight. It happened to me, otherwise i'd be teaching my granddaughter while i was still alive."

Jaylen got to his feet, and decided to go find someone camped here.. He walked on closer to the caves and found a man in full armor suit type deal, Ash, and a woman sitting there in front of the cave. He didn't want to look stupid and just stand there so he felt he should introduce himself. "Hello there.. My name is Jaylen.. Sorry if I'm interrupting but I didn't want to look like an idiot sitting in front of your fire all night.." Jaylen said sitting down..
"I'd like to train with you here if that's not to much a problem?"
Jaylen asked.. Some more training definitely would not hurt.. He desperately needed it.

Elisa did not come out of her Zen state to respond, but still took Jor’s words to heart. Instead of using her empathic abilities amplified by the Force to sync up with Ash's movements she brought her focus down. She slowly focused down on the very small, as if she was looking though a microscope, she continue to move the crystal closer to Ash's hand. She was still having a problem of the stability, but as she focused in, time seemed to slow down. Ash's and her reactions were dampened, and she was able get the crystal so close it appeared to touch Ash’s hand. She constantly made minor adjustment to where she held her own crystal. Elisa knew it would only get harder the longer Jor made them do this challenge; her muscles would soon get tired of making the minor adjustments.

Ash withdrew his mind from up against Elisa's own mind when he heard what Jor was telling them to do. A mind meld was too complicated for this challenge, and he didn't even know if Elisa would be able to fully complete it. Instead, he did as instructed.
Ash let his mind drift outwards as he concentrated on His hands and Elisa's, as well as their crystals. He let the force flow through him, and kept his darkness from flooding into his training partner. In fact, it seemed to withdraw from him the closer his crystal came to Elisa's hand. His movements were synced with her's and he was able to come much closer to her hand than he thought possible. There was no way anyone would know that his crystal and her hand were not touching.
His breathing was calm, and he paid no notice to Jaylen, who decided to sit near the trio. His old training partner seemed different to him now. [/sub]

Jor watched them through his minds eye as they made their adjustments. Their performance during the exorcise had vastly improved when they narrowed their focus. "There see. Sometimes you need to focus on the little picture to improve your performance. Both of you are doing very well. Now hold that until your arms become to tired to hold it. Then we'll move on."
Jor opened his eyes and looked over to the guy introducing himself. He gave a slight sigh of frustration and stood up. "You are Interrupting, and you've already done a pretty good job of making yourself look like an idiot. But whats one more at the party right?"
Jor stretched his neck as he walked over. "Whats your background? what kind of training have you already had?"

Drake looked at the Holocron and laughed "The optimistic type are you?" he asked joking with him "Well I guess you do make a point, but even so" Drake said he didn't finish his sentence he hopped he inferred it enough to let the holocron know he was feeling a little uneasy about their upcoming battle. Drake tried to push much of those thoughts out his head and closed his eyes in order to rest, he would have to help Jor train soon so he needed some sleep.

Jalyen stood to greet the man in the armored suit with a sigh noticing the man was getting kind of agitated with him.. "I will not lie, I was originally with the Empire. The Empire and I, did not quite see eye to eye however and well.. Now they're out to kill me for leaving them." Jaylen said calmly, before remembering Ash was still there. He wondered if Ash was still part of the Empire and if he was this might attract his attention unfortunately.. "I have some moderate knowledge of the force and I am willing to improve myself however I must." Jaylen finished finally.

"Moderate isn't exactly descriptive. What have you been trained to do, and better yet. who trained you?" Jor asked. His armor beeped and he held up a finger, telling Jalyen to wait one. He walked over to his helmet and slid it over his head.
"Go for Jor." He said into the com.
The voice of Captain Sheridan came over the line. "Master Halcyon, we just got a hit on the database search you ran though before you left. The helmet picture is a 97% match to one taken by our resistance on Coruscant of one Ash Lightning. He's Imperial and pretty high up as far as i can tell. We don't have a lot of info on him as of yet but records show he's Mandalorian so i'm not sure what he's doing with the Empire."
Jor nodded. His suspicion had been confirmed. "Thanks for the info Captain. Hopefully he's here because he genuinely wants to defect, or at least is having problems with his conscious."
"Master i'd still like to organize a security team to watch him." The captain said.
"No, he's unusually adept at sensing things. He'd know about it. just wipe our databanks of everything having to do with our secret base and tell the crew to give him plenty of elbow room."
Sheridan's voice came back a little worried. "Will do. Zyla Bram out."
Jor took the helmet off and walked back over to Jalyen. "Ok, sorry about that, go on."

He knows much of what I know, wth the exception of a few things.
Ash put his hands down and stood up, facing Jaylen and Jor, looking down at them. His eyes were rather dull as he spoke.
Mainly simpler stuff, like force speed, lightning, precognition, telekanesis, cloke, and immersion. He was late to show up and never learned to tune into the force as I, or meld. We were taught by the Sith Lord Nanashi, and his willy hand in my head let me tune into anyone thoughts in a rather large radius.
You are right, Jaylen, many of those with the empire are out to kill you. I was sent to find and kill any rouge force users. I was one of them, but now I think that all you need to do is have some good friends and allies by your side.
And Jor, In our time ahead, I would respect it if we stay away from cold places. I can stand it, but it can get hard to move when you have no sleeves and your muscles freeze up. So, Now that you have confermed who I am, are you surprised that my new look can attract more women, but less people with the empire reconise me? I can assure you that there are no pictures of my current state.
Ash laugh lightly. He remotely felt what Jor and Sheridan were talking about: Him and something about his armor, but that was about it. He looked between Jor and Jaylen, a more serious look on its face now. [/sub]

Elisa continued to hold the crystal up as Jor said. Her muscles soon burnt and she started to shake. She tried her hardest to block out the pain and maintain the focus, but after a while she simple dropped her arm. She shook her head, pulling herself out of her Zen state. She looked over at Jor then over at Ash was bitching about the cold. She turned back to Jor and smiled. "Ignore the pussy. I say we only visit snowball worlds. I personally like them." Elisa said smiling. She was not joking about liking ice planets, but she was perfectly comfortable on most worlds. "So what now Old Man. Do we have more exercise to do or are we moving on?" Elisa figured if he was going to call her Miss Clone she would call him like she seen him.

Drake kept his eyes closed the entire time he could sense something wasn't right couldn't put his finger on it though, his saber crackled as he held it lit with his mind only to focus he telekenisis. He had been doing this type of practicing for years and it was the reason he had gotten so good at it, but still something wasn't right something was. Drake opened his eyes "Hmm..." He said under his breath "About time he showed up..." Drake stood up and walked into the cave he stopped and looked at Jor "Someone's about to land tell your guys not to blow him out the sky" Drake said to Jor turning and leaving back out the cave.
A dragoon was nearing the planet inside Aznable was looking on "Hey this is Aznable Millardo I'm flying Drake Hellion's Dragoon...so I'm not here for a fight" he said to the Nimitz class ship.

"Whats this "we" you use?" Jor said to Ash. Not the Ash clone but his actual body. He pointed to Genie Elisa and Drake. "We were here for our own business." He pointed to Ash. "You came here for your own damn reasons. You don't like the cold, wear a jacket next time you crash your fighter on an ice planet."
The Captain of the Aquitaine did a quick check on the IFF transponder on the approaching Dragoon and hand signaled the com officer to let the ship know it was ok to land. "Aznable Millardo you have clearance to enter Zyla Bram's airspace. Your good to land."
