Alderaan Jedi Temple (Destroyed)

[Si Quan]

"No, I don't believe I've had the privilege. Though from what I've heard, I don't know if I'll like it too much. Ah well, let's get moving."

As the two were boarding the shuttle, Si turned back to Jor.

"You have anyone else in mind for this group of yours?"

[MikDaTv]

"Well, I've been away for quite awhile. But from what i remember, Virer wasn't so bad of a guy. Sure he talked funny but everyone has their faults."

*The shuttle docked with the Saucy Mare. The Lusankya in orbit jumped to hyperspace back to Bilbringi. The Mare opened it's engines to full power and they left orbit at incredible speed for a cruiser it's size.*

"With this baby we'll be there in no time. and don't worry, i doubt we'll need to go down to the surface. Just stick around in orbit."

[Cain]

The Ebon Hawk landed outside the Jedi Temple and Alex once again entered, he mask now hiding his face and his armor scarred with battle. The cape that hung from his right shoulder was tattered and burned. Alex had the Jedi at the front desk call all of the Jedi in the temple into the main hall.

Alex: I have gathered you all here because Grand Master Quan has denied me the right to train Jedi. However, I do not feel that Master Quan appreciates the urgency of our situation and as such I have decided to bring my plight to you.
Master Rodvy: Alex, this is highly inappropriate. I think it shows incredibly poor taste to go behind Master Quan's back like this and attempt to dissuade these Jedi with your...
Alex: Shut up old man! When I want your opinion I'll ask for it.
Master Rodvy: I warn you Alex... just turn around and walk away, or...
Alex: Or what?... Or what!?... Hmph... that's what I thought. What we have here ladies and gentlemen... is a failure to communicate. The masters of this temple don't want to hear what I am saying... they don't want you to hear what I am saying... but hear it you must. Once the galaxy disarms the Republic will need you, my brothers and sisters, to be its champions. The Jedi will no longer be able to play the roll of intermediary, the time will come when we must stand and fight. I ask you now to stand with me, to protect this Republic we hold dear in its time of need.

A few of the Jedi step forward and join with Alex. Rodvy suddenly stands and speaks again.

Master Rodvy: No! Do not listen to this man! He is of the dark side, he knows only of lies, deceit, and creating mistrust. Can you not see that he is trying to turn you against your masters.
Alex: If you think what I tell you is lies then you can sit there and await your destruction, I am forcing no one here to join with me. I just ask that you do what is right by the Republic and by all the freed people of this galaxy, not what is right soley to the Jedi.

More Jedi stood beside Alex and Rodvy began to lose his patience.

Master Rodvy: I will not allow a Sith to walk into my temple and poison the mind of my students.

Rodvy unclipped the lightsaber from his belt and ignited one of its two green blades.

Alex: Put away the lightsaber Rodvy.
Master Rodvy: Leave now and never return here.
Alex: I said put it... away... I'd hate for things to have to get physical.
Master Rodvy: You have no authority here... my lord.

Rodvy ignited the other blade and Alex extended his hand and began to crush Rodvy's neck. The old man thrashed about for a moment before falling to his knees then to the floor.

Jedi Consular: You... killed him.
Alex: He should've backed off when I told him the first time. That old fool had it coming.
Jedi Consular: Master Rodvy was right! You are a Sith!
Jedi Sentinal: Are you blind? Rodvy attacked him, he deserved what he got.
Jedi Consular: This... this is not the Jedi way. One of our masters is lying here dead and you are defending his killer!?
Jedi Sentinal: The Jedi way? All the Jedi seem to care about nowadays is the "Jedi way". This galaxy is changing, and we need to change as well if we hope to save it.
Alex: Calm down you two, I have no wish for further bloodshed here today. Those who are with me can come. Those who are not I would ask to remain here, and tell Master Quan what has transpired here today.

Alex gave the signal and the Jedi who were with him began to file out of the temple.

Alex: Oh, and be sure to convey to him my deepest apologies for the ugliness that was caused by that stubborn old man. Thank you, I leave in peace.

Alex turned and left the Jedi temple. The Jedi who remained quickly rushed over to Master Rodvy.

[Cain]

The Ebon Hawk returned to Alderaan and landed outside of the temple. The Jedi were somewhat hesitant to welcome Alex after his last visit, but he spoke to them anyway.

Alex: Listen to me! I know that some of you don't trust me... that your code forbids you to follow me. But if ever there were a time when your Republic needed you this would be it. Zilfer has turned to the Sith and has unleashed an army on the planet of Umbara. We need your help now.

The Jedi looked at each other, finally one stepped forward.

Jedi: I will go.
Jedi: Me too.

Soon all of the Jedi had come forward. With a smile Alex turned and led them back to where his ship was docked.

Alex: This way. The Republic will be sending in reenforcements soon. They are expecting us.

[Cain]

The Ebon Hawk settled down outside the Jedi Temple on Alderaan where Alex led Vici and Raina into their own private quarters. He thought it best to have them and the rest of their family stay here now, where they'd be safe from the Sith. Alex sent some Republic troops back to Tatooine for the others.

Alex then retreated to the council chambers. It was quiet. The Jedi had disbanded and only Alex remained sitting amoung the empty chairs.

[Christopher Enyar]

Chris landed on the planet, Anna closely following. He made his way up to the Temple, and came upon the Jedi Council chamber. He entered and bowed to Alex. "Hello, Master Alex," he said, lifting his head to reveal his red eyes with cat-like pupils, a recent and minor transformation that had occurred in him.

[Cain]

Alex: Chris... good to see you've found your way back home. Looks like you've picked up some company on the way... Anyway, what happened on Kamino?

[Christopher Enyar]

"The mission can be seen as minorly succesful. The enemy essentially fled, as far as I couldtell, and they gained no more troops," said Chris in his usual and emotionless voice.

[Cain]

Alex: And what of the planet? Is it secure?

[Christopher Enyar]

"The facilities were damaged," said Chris. "As the enemy left, they set off explosives, damaging the structure, and many of the locals were killed. Virir never came, and thus, none of the actual forces of the enemy were hurt. No one lost anything, nor did anyone gain."

[Cain]

Alex: I see... Well I'll have to make sure that our Jedi fleet sets up a blockade there. We can't have the enemy returning to take the planet. Word has reached me that Darth Handzu has taken his fleet to Korriban and is currently seeking sanctuary there. Our next move should be to cut them off from their base of operations on Dxun while they spend their time on Korriban. I suggest that you head there next.

[Christopher Enyar]

"With all do respect," said Chris, his voice a usual emotionless. "All the movements I make are useless gestures. I have small ground forces I can really on, but getting them there requires space forces, capital ships, and so on. I request permission to gain such weapons."

[Cain]

Alex: Do not worry, I will send in my fleet to back you. This time with general who will not fail to show.

[Christopher Enyar]

Chris did not want to press the matter. He bowed, saying, "As you wish."

[Cain]

Alex stood up after Chris had left and exited the Temple himself and made his way over to the senate building.
