Carefully the Zyla Bram exited hyperspace just off Mon Calamari, the ocean world from space appeared blue and swirling white, one had to squint to see the few islands that dotted the surface that grew larger the closer the ship drew to the planet. The one thing that marked this peaceful landscape was a giant white swirl of clouds, the hurricane that was about to ravish most of the islands, and all but destroy the floating city they had been called to help.
Carefully the ship grew closer and closer to the endless blue ocean, a single sparkle signifying the city they were sent to help. Soon is grew into a metropolis in its own right, the gleaming silver buildings still shone despite the rapidly graying sky.
Landing in the hangar at the center of the city, Moonfire unbuckled herself, smiling brightly once more at their little group. Drawing up a map of the city on her holotable she pointed to their location.
"Alright boys, we're dead center of the city right now, we have several hundred capital ships here in the hangar provided by the Calamarian government to assist us in the evacuation, what we need to do is get as many people as possible into those ships and off planet as quickly as possible. The Calamarians were unable to spare the man power, they're overwhelmed as it is trying to take care of the islands, hence we're here." Looking at the group Moonfire swallowed down what little self-doubt she still carried and continued.
"Most of the inner city inhabitants have been able to get the the hangars, the main issues are around the outer edge of the city, the waves have gotten rough, and the wind isn't too nice either. Its only going to get worse. Aznable, you and Alpha Group will be going through the middle of the city, collecting whats left of the stragglers and assisting anyone that might have been injured in the confusion."
Turning to Ravenous and Xuku she spoke on, voice soft and pleasant. "We'll be hitting the outer part of the city with Delta Group, becareful around the waters edges and be windful of the wind. There is no time for any kind of horse play, the storm is going to be upon us soon, and there are peoples lives at stake here if we mess up." Giving a final look of warning she turned off the holotable, heading off the ship, she gave a final look at Aznable.
"If you need anything, I've got my com-link with me, good luck out there." Stepping off the ship a brisk wind hit the group, troves of people seemed to be flooding the ships about the hangar. With a quick turn Moonfire smiled at looked at Ravenous.
"Well, Ravenous, Xuku, which way shall we head first?" A light smile touched the woman's lips as she spoke.

Aznable waited in the ship as it landed and Moonfire started to give her orders. He smirked she seemed to have a new aura of confidence about her that wasn't there when he had first met her. Being a Knight really suited her that was for sure, when she looked over at him he nodded to her standing up "Right we'll find whats left of the survivors, hopefully there aren't too many stragglers..." he told her nodding.
"I'll be sure to keep you updated" he said with a smirk watching her leave he turned to his soldiers "Lets get going guys" he told them they stood up and started to follow Aznable off the ship.

Xuku silently stood around the holotable as Moonfire informed them of the situation and gave orders to Alpha Group. Then she turned towards Xuku and Ravenous, giving them their instructions. They would work with Delta Group to find and rescue any stragglers on the outskirts of the city. She also warned them that their would be no horseplay, but Xuku fully understood the seriousness of the situation, and hoped they were thought of as more than little children who had to be watched and told what to do. However, he realized that Moonfire barely knew either of them, and did not know how they would respond to situations such as this one.
Moving on from this, he focused entirely on the mission before them. Xuku felt the spray of the sea as he exited the ship, a feeling which was found everywhere on Mon Calamari. After the group left the ship, Moonfire asked them which way they should head first.
"I think we should head to the part of the city which is closest to the incoming storms, and then work our way around to where we started," Xuku said. He turned to Ravenous to see what his thoughts were.

During the debriefing of the mission and the specs od the situation the two students had remained silent and listening with good intent. Ravenous being one of the two took careful note of all the surrounding areas from which they were in need of assistance. Once they came closer to the surface of the planet Ravenous began to smell the scent of salt and water covering a majority of the planet.
"I think we should head to the part of the city which is closest to the incoming storms, and then work our way around to where we started," Thinking of Xuku's words Ravenous nodded in approval before speaking for himself and of his idea for the situations harsh conditions. "If we take into consideration the winds and waters fracture into the equation we can safely assume that anyone near the edges will be killed. Therefor to save more lives Xuku and I should subdue the winds and waters while Miss Moonfire guides the people to safety. Being that we know of telekinetic powers and are for less experienced in these situation it would be best if Miss Moonfire handles the people."
Crossing his arms in thought he began to value the position of everyone within the team and found this to be one of the best methods of saving lives. Glancing over to there leader he asked calmly and quietly "but my opinion is nothing compared top that of our leader here. That being said what do you think Miss Moonfire?"

Carefully Moonfire listened to her students and their opinions on where to start, as Ravenous spoke, she cracked a smile.
"An excellent idea in theory, but when put to use I'm afriad holding off nature itself would be quite the undertaking. It would be incredibly difficult to pull off such a feat even for a Master. Rather than protect the city, we should concentrate on protecting the people." Motioning Infantryman Carlos over Moonfire gently raised a small pale hand, focusing until a transparent bubble rose around the him, a much smaller Force Barrier than they were probably accustomed too.
"This small Force bubble will protect the refugees from the storm and any other damage we might meet along the way, and is easier to maintain than trying to hold off walls of water from an entire section of the city. If you want to hold off nature itself, such vulgar displays of power are more suited to the Sith." The last part came softly, and not unkind merely an observation.
Pulling away from Carlos, the bubble disappeared, and he returned to his post amongst the other troops. "Now, a Force Bubble is simple enough to create and maintain. Focus the Force into a small flexible barrier about those you wish to protect. Feel the molecules of the air around them pack together creating the transparent barrier." She nodded, encouraging them to try.
"We have two hours before the storm is to hit, I hope this is a technique we wont have too much excuse to use tonight."

Aznable and the soldiers he was assigned made it to the city, once there they began their search. "Okay" Aznable said to them reaady to make his plan "We're gonna split up into two teams I want people checking those buildings on each side" he said as he started to go to one of the buildings and walked in. Aznable had went into this building alone he wasn't very much used to ordering people around so he gave them some broad orders to go on. He could work better by himself for the time being to get something done, he looked around "Hello" he said "Is there anyone in here?" he called out hoping to find a survivor.
"Mooney" Aznable said to her through his com link "Whats going on on your side, find anyone yet?" he questioned.

As Ryit's X Wing passed through Mon Calamari, the winds began to disrupt his flying. "Damn!" Ryit snapped his fingers as he realized he was going to have to land. The X Wing slowly descended on to a patch of green. The door creaked open and the small figure of Ryit jumped out. "These winds are way too strong to fly in," Ryit muttered unhappily, he would have to find somewhere to find shelter as he waited for the storm to pass.
Ryit saw a glimpse of a few people perhaps no more than a mile away. Ryit knew blatantly approaching strangers was a bad idea, but he was a little worried about the storm and was curious if these people may know of a place to find shelter until it passed. Biting his lip, Ryit began walking in the direction of the people.

Xuku had also noticed that Ravenous' idea would be far beyond their own ability, even beyond the ability of most Jedi Masters. He listened as Moonfire taught them a force power which was a scaled down version of what Ravenous had proposed. Instead of protecting the city in one big bubble, they would protect the people with smaller ones. After hearing Moonfire explain it to them, he decided to try. Xuku decided he might as well try on himself, and began focusing on the air around him. Closing his eyes, he reached out with the force to the surrounding air, and, using telekinesis, he pulled the air tight around him, compressing it into a thin, transparent bubble of protection around him. Pleased with the result, he decompressed the air, and stood there silently, waiting to see what was next.

Sighing in an understanding matter Ravenous nodded to their superiors motion and reasoning for his own idea's flaw. 'I suppose that's the difference of experience compared to those without it....' Turning his attention to his new teacher Ravenous watched while taking mental notes of the construction of the new force bubble technique that they were to learn and take into effect immediately.
Walking over towards the infantry men Ravenous tapped ones shoulder to grasp their attention. Talking with the one known as Amelia Ravenous asked in a calm voice "Excuse me, but might I practice this new technique on you so to ensure my ability to protect the people from danger if it is to cross our path?" Waiting for the response Ravenous remained silent as always. Upon their confirmation he began to focus on the energies around Amelia within the air.
Thinking of Moonfire's example he began to concentrate and compact the molecules within the air into a shield/bubble around Amelia lowly starting from the feet. As the bubble began to form and replace Amelia's floor it rose from the ground slightly. Maintaining this for a minute to grasp the energy formula needed to continue this procedure Ravenous proceeded to the remaining formation of the bubble. As the molecules started to reform into the shield it closed around itself and started to expansed allowing more people to be held within.
Stopping shortly after doing so Ravenous reversed the progress that he had made so far until Amelia was returned to their original position without harm. Walking back over he leaned against the wall taking a breather....waiting for further instruction from Moonfire.

Ryit squinted, was that a force technique those strangers were performing? As Ryit approached he quickly turned to the leader and asked, "Er... I'm sorry to bother you ma'am, but would you know a place where I could find shelter during this storm? My X wing seems to not be able to fly through this turbulence," Ryit explained.

Hearing the sharp crackle of her comm-link Moonfire clicked back, responding to Aznable. "Nothing yet, I was just teaching the Padawans a new move that might be helpful, we're going to hit the far side of the city and sweep around. Let me know if you need anything, Master Anzie." With another buzz and crackle the message went off, and the dark haired woman returned to appraising her student's efforts.
"Good job, both of you, well done. I hope you'll be able to complete this mission without having to use that technique, but if trouble comes, I'm confident you'll be ready. Now we head for the south si-" Her directions cut off as a small child, one who couldn't be older than ten asked her a question. A bright smile covered her face as she leaned down, resting a soft hand on his shoulder, blue eyes meeting. There was something about this child, the Force flowed through him, and his youth! He would certainly make a capable Jedi some day.
"I do, if you turn around, you'll find the hangar right there. There are plenty of off planet ships evacuating now because of the store. If you'd like though, you may stay with us, we're trying to help people like you get away from the city before the storm comes, thats what we do. We're Jedi." She said with a soft look before, standing back up to finish addressing her students.
"Okay, we don't have much more time left, lets get over to the south side of the city and start doing some real Jedi work." With a definite nod she started her walk, feeling through the force into the building around her, as she stalked forwards, through the growing winds, towards the salty sea spray.

"Um..." Ryit was debating in his mind if it was safe to go with a stranger, but she did say she was a jedi, "Ok, I'll go with you, but what should I do about my X wing?" he asked shyly, Ryit turned around and looked at it, "I mean, I guess it will survive the storm, so I could always come back later and get it..."
Suddenly a memory of his adoptive mother popped into Ryit's mind 'Remember your manners!' it exclaimed inside his head.
"Oops!" Ryit palmed his forehead, "I'm so sorry I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Ryan Aerial, pleased to meet you!" Ryit thought a minute, trying to remember what adults did when they met each other, he quickly remembered and outstretched his hand to shake.

Xuku watched as a young boy approached Moonfire, asking her for a place of shelter. Xuku could feel the boy's presence in the force. Feeling it in one so young reminded him of his days at the Jedi Enclave years before, when the younglings were so numerous they were taught in large groups by a single Jedi Master. But things had changed since then, the Jedi's numbers had thinned almost to the point of extinction. The Jedi would need the help of every force user opposed to the Empire if they wanted to prevent their numbers from dwindling even more. A force-sensitive so young and naive as this would certainly make a capable Jedi.
Moonfire told the boy where he could find the hangar, and thus find shelter. But she also told him that he was welcome to stay with them if he wanted, hinting that she also saw his potential of being a Jedi. As Moonfire began to lead the group towards the outer edge of the city, the boy, seemingly to have remembered to introduce himself, threw his palm up to his forehead with an exclamation, and introduced himself to the Moonfire, offering to shake hands. Xuku patiently stood nearby, waiting for the introductions to finish.

Listening to Moonfire gently guide the young boy towards the rescue front, Ravenous smirked for a moment before crossing his arms to return to his emotionless stance. Waiting until the introductions were finished he soon began to walk towards the general direction of their mission. "Shall we proceed Miss Moonfire? The better head start we have on this the overall better outcome we should experience."
His mind unsettled by all the amounts of salt in the air, he did not like this location. It brought about unease and discomfort to him and his bloodline....'Why in the force would anyone want to live in a place such as this...' Mentally quivering over this he stood in silence once more.
