Grozporin's Story

Word filtered back to Vinh as she watched the fight from her flagship. Moving controls on a holotable before her she watched the fight unfold. A ring of five Death Star Battlestations formed and fired on a centeral point in space as a sixth death star fired on the beam of the other five, directing the shot at the main carrier moving things it seemed.

The delta formation of fighters and ships met a stiff wall of defense as countless droid starfighters swarmed the area and moved closer to the core of the delta formation to destroy it. The system was packed with ships as it was, how could they get in ? It didnt matter. Vinh was going to see victory for once her own way.

Behind her mask she watched everything carefully. Perfect. The battle was unfolding how she wanted. Exactly how she wanted. She smirked at the loss of a stardestroyer when another ship warped into the system too damn close. Directing her attention on the ship she used the Force, causing the reactor to shut down and then go critical. She felt the tinest hints of intrusion into her own mental systems of her rebuilt braincase but smirked darkley behind hermask as Lord Mor's Ai countered it easily.

The star destroyer that was destroyed wasnt a big loss, but when a few more were lost it didnt really matter, Vinh could make dozens more to fill their place. Sure Vinh was unhappy she lost ships, but she didnt lose her flagship, that would suck greatly

Her goal was to be met. She was in hope of forcing the attackers into a deadly trap she had the battlestations once more open fire as Super Star Destroyers rained hell on the enemy ships. An hour passed, maybe more as the the Sith observed the fleet of her own being bolstered by the numerous star forges churning out ships.

Vinh smirked in victory. The battle would be hers ? Hopefully so as they outnumbered the enemy fleet it appeared, even with the destruction on both sides Her happiness amplified through a radio hail from Victor that her stolen vessel had been recovered successful with no damage to the ship.

Vinh began building then what she knew was possibly thel argest ever vessel in the fleet, but it wasnt going to be enough. She knew that to begin building the vessel as fast as possible was one thing, but to have it have air to breathe was entirely another. So building the massive cruiser would take time. And hopefully it could end up the way she hoped

On one of the planets, Celos IV infact, just outside the battle zone, tempers flaired and a battle began on the planet,. Sadly Vinh couldnt be called upon to quell the sudden rebellion. As she herself had gone to face an old friend....

Celos IV, was indeed a war-torn planet, It's occupants had been enslaved workers and upper echelon members of its government who had bent a knee as Crimson Legion soldiers fought against a rising rebellion. The workers of Celos IV fought bravely when there uprising had been detected though as to what they had tried to accomplish seemed almost benign at first glance.

"Commander Thorn reporting my Emperor!" A brief transmission flickered into existence within a darkened room revealing a holographic image of one of Mor's soldiers standing upon a snowy war torn front with rebellion soldiers fighting against the ungrateful enemies. "We are fighting this resistance cell with utmost prejudice. The eastern front on our enemies side is wavering however we have noted a few of the rebel cells pushing towards a natural cave system...." A sudden explosion cut off Commander Thorn as several of his men were seemingly cut down by what appeared to be a massive blur and a loud roar which could only be attributed to a massive creature. "Sir we need back up!"

Emperor Mor simply watched as the holographic image began to flicker out of existence only to then send out his command and begin his battle meditation as to assist with the combat by empowering his soldiers resolve while his coterie amplified his resolve. Mor felt every soldiers life either wither or flourish as an enemy was defeated in combat.

Anger, it felt it

Sadness it felt it

Justice..... it gave it

the Force moved in ways unknown to sentients. And when emotions were utilised in order to begin to battle. The Force reacted. To some it was a tool, to others it was not. As a Force user, one could see things, feel things. But as the Force itself....

The spirit of Deiyi observe everything the Wookiee did on his enemies. His emptions ruinning full blast it seemed, Deiyi could feel and feed off his anger, but she could also be of aid. She simply watched him, as a spirit she couldnt do much at that moment to really help him directly.

So Deiyi did the next best thing, turning towards the enemy troops of the Crimson Legion she used the force to make things go haywire, aiding Grozproin in damaging the enemy walkers that were present. But when the time came, Deiy iwould be more than helpful to the massive Wookiee.

She could even be a friend.

The Crimson Legion pushed forward only to be met with sudden aggression and resistance. Every rebellious soldier that fell for their beliefs seemed to almost frenzy the very notion of freedom within every man and woman who took part within the battle. The wookie Grozporin continued his onslaught against the Crimson Legion only to tear through every soldier ripping and slicing through limbs and screams as he moved like a blur through their front lines. Whatever the Spirit of Deiyi seemed to jam or shut down the wookie would tare through or dismantle with well placed slices from his saber.

With a single roar from the wookie several of the troopers where thrown back against the ground allowing the Jedi to run past the fallen solders only to make his way to a natural cave system which housed several of the Rebels ships and all of which where being prepared to leave the planet.

Walking among the battle the Force Spirit watched everything. What seemed to be gaining the upper hand soon became losing ground as a walker of the Crimson Legion turned to fire on the sole Jedi, the Wookiee. Looking up at the massive walker however the thing seemed to aim at Grozporin, charged its weapon, then seemed to turn its massive head someplace else as Deiyi made use of her abilites and made it seem as if the there were a bunch of lightsaber users, when there really wasnt anymore than Grozporin as far as Deiyi could see.

So that meant the Crimson Legion had been mind tricked something really bad as out of nowhere the massive walker turned from the Wookiee and went to the 'bigger threat' and blew apart its own fortification in a blast of sheer destructive power, allowing the Wookie and his comrades to flee in relative safety as the Walker itself suddenly detonated like a small sun before it collapsed.

Briefly appearing before Grozporin Deiyi didnt even have to speak upon being sighted. But she did anyhow. and she knew the Wookie could understand her "The path is laid for the hyperdrive, get aboard quickly! We will meet you at the destination..... May The Force be With You" With that Deiyi faded from Grozporin's view as the rebels with him scrambled for their ships to get away fast.

Thanks to the Force itself they had a path to safety

The wookie watched in utter awe as the large walker which was initially going to open fire upon him turned its attention else ware. Instead of wondering what was going on Grozporin roared out his command causing his rebels to quickly obey and make their way into the cave system which housed their only escape. He was soon about to accompany them before an image of a young woman appeared before him.



Her words seemed strangely compelling but the wookie jedi didn't seem to spend much time on those words and the apparition which quickly dissipated as it came into existence. Grozporin made his way into the cave system and deep within revealed what was a hidden hanger housing a star cruisers and a few fighters which began to load up as the entrance to the hanger began to open revealing the massive battle outside. Regardless the wookie and his force of rebels escaped the planet and broke through a blockade only to make their way towards their supposed destination.

Planet: Patara
Location: Jedi Temple Complex

The Force felt strange at that location, Crystal brown eyes snapped open as her ship dropped from Hyperspace. Well this was interesting. it felt weird, yet alive at the same time. the ship, a single seat A-Wing fighter she had.... borrowed from Pheonix Squadron. Landing in a landing bay the lone pilot emerged from the fighter. Hand on her weapon she activated her lightsaber, the pale golden blade cast light around her. She felt eyes on her.

The Force felt wrong there. Very wrong. The phantom pains from her lost finger made her twitch slightly as she headed from the hangar bay deeper into the complex. A ratrher regal woman by her clothing style, the dark gray dress sparkled with woven cortosis as she went through the complex, She went to a mostly closed door. Poking a few keys on the control pad didnt do anything. "Karabast, no power. I was afraid of this...." Minus a finger she couldnt do much repair wise. But....

Using her blade she stabbed into the door, quickly forming a hole large enough for her to go through. Drawing her left hand saber she activated the golden blade and had to cover her mouth and nose at the sudden onset of dead scent. there was a dead body directly before the door, shot dead.... by something; it skin was rotted away.

Gem took a deep breath and very vision swam briefly as she thought she saw something, light ? there was power in the complex ?? She moved after it. Soon lost in the maze that was the massive temple complex.

The Test of the Dark Side, had begun. And there was a possiblity that she wouldnt survive it. But she had to, she owed her master a life debt. he trained her for just this occasion, to follow the Will of the Force.

She came to a cross roads in the halls. And there she met her first cultists. these men and women were not tech advanced, no, they reeked of death and destruction, and something more, the Dark Side resonated clearly from them, But she had the advantage as she struck them down, one tried to shoot her with a slugthrower type weapon, the arrow missing clearly as she dodged to the side, bringing up an armored boot she hammered the shooter in the side of the head as her righthand lightsaber cut out its heart.

What were these creatures doing in the Jedi Temple ?? Had the Sith found it ? These people did not have Sith markings. Moving down another hallway she halted before using the Force and crusig under a overhead ramp to the next level another group of cultists. because of her link, her life debt, and the time she spent with her Master growing up she felt him near. But she also felt something else, sheer anger and hate filled the place.

Was there Sith there ?

Deep within the inner circle of this temple, a gathering of unholy powers were gathering here. A Chaos sorcerer had learned about these so called 'Jedi' that had occupied this temple...Just a few of course, the rest were but mewling guards that could not comprehend the powers he had wielded...of course he had plenty of help from the locals.

Now here they all were, Chaos Cultists all gathered aaround, whispering unholy words and carving out more chaotic sigils, the bodies of the slain were dragged into the room to be used as sacrifices for the Chaotic Gods these...'humans'...served.

One figure in particular, the only armored figure in the room oversaw everything as a man went of his knees. Ah, a so called Jedi that accepted the powers of the Dark Gods. "My lord...Thank you for showing me this path...The path of power...the word of Chaos...I will serve dutifully to the Dark Gods..." The man spoke. Ah yes...This would be good to review what these Jedi could do. Especially with the powers of Chaos behind them. "Your mission here went as planned. They were not prepared for you and your friend to attack from within. Especially when you managed to convince a few of the Guards in this temple to shoot their own allies...You may have potential...Only if the Gods deem you fit to serve that is." The Sorcerer spoke as he motioned for the jedi to rise before wandering to a Chaotic Sigil.

"If you are ready to fully embrace the powers of the Dark Gods, embrace them equally...Then step onto the ritual circle, your friend has already accepted the powers...She will be tested soon as will you." The sorcerer spoke as the man soon stood in the middle of the circle.

The cultists soon raised their arms into the air and began their unholy chanting. The bodies piled on the ritual circle began to have their very essence absorbed into the circle, their souls...their life force...all was used as the man was enveloped by a purple haze. A taste of the powers of Chaos...A taste of true freedom...

The Man's sanity of course took a hit as he began to laugh as he accepted the power, to let the voices and images fill his head. Soon enough the ritual was complete, and thus the Jedi was no longer normal...He too now served Chaos...

With a dark chuckle the Sorcer nodded. "Impressive...Now, there are some things I must finish researching here...There is an intruder in the Temple. Do well with your female companion to kill the intruder...This should be a test, especially since whoever has come is also this...Jedi you are...Do not fail me, or the Dark Gods...We do not look kindly on failure..." The sorcerer soon began to walk off.

"As you wish lord..." The man spoke as he began to walk off, another figure suddenly joining his side. Chaotic markings were now etched into their robes.

"Now...Let us see if these Jedi can possibly be of use if they are better trained...This should be a wonderful experiment...For now, I must finish up my end..."

The wookie grimaced as he watched his Padawan in her trial against the darkside of the force only to wonder if this was to much. She would not only be assaulted by these corrupted Jedi but also the very dark allure of the force itself as visions would and could interrupt her and jeopardize her safety. Grozporin growled loudly as he sat in meditation and continued to watch only to be a whisper upon the wind and a gentle guide ready to erupt.

"Careful, and be wary my Padawan, this is not something one can easily combat...." The Wookie's words seemed to drift lightly by her as a ghostly image of her master stood before the door leading further into the old temple. Whatever flashes would await her would be beneficial but this case was different.



When she took her first step through the doorway she would be greeted not with the dark corridor of the musty temple but of the lush green homeworld of Kashyk. Its thick wroshyr trees and plant life alike gave way to a familiar homestead and the sweet smell of Franjo Pancakes topped with Wroshyr lice syrup and the sounds of wookie children at play whilst their parents worked with the wood and the forge. For Gem this would be a vision of home and there in the background stood Grozporin waiting patiently for his young pupil. The young Jedi would find her visions almost serene and peaceful until she could see upon the horizon a red glow of war and fire. It was almost as if the village was unware and uncaring as Crimson Legion soldiers continued to burn their way towards them .

As soon as the vision began it would fade away once more leaving Gem in the old temple that now hosted corrupting power of the Dark Side and Chaos. Whatever awaited her would only find an advantage as the visions of war would either impede or aid her while the Grozporin continued to meditate off world with his rebel forces in hopes of acting as a guide for his charge.

"......War is cruelty and death. It is something that should be avoided through peaceful acts of kindness and words of wisdom....." Her 'Uncle' offered what words he knew only to then place a ghostly hand upon her shoulder and nudged her forward.

HUMMMM

The sound of a lightsaber swinging, the smell of searing flesh and bone, the screams of agnony as death took the cultists as Gem moved through their ranks just to get to that point. The remains had been decerated there, the entry to the main part of the Temple, Jedi who went in there sometimes never saw their Padawans return. And yet....

With the room cleared Gem went to her knees and closed her eyes, the door to the main trial chamber opened. And as it did her vision began. She heard her Masters voice, strong and gentle at the same time. She stepped into the cavern, but the sheer dark side of the Force roiled unending as the young woman stepped deeper into the cavern, the door sealed behind her.

Her master guided her every step. The first corner she came to a halt as she recognised the smells, seeing the scenrery made her heart leap for joy, She was home already ? She stood upon a porch overlooking the beach where her Master spoke with the Jedi Council as they were leaving, Even though most of them didnt approve of her being trained, they had relented when she was the center of Master Yodas vision. Of course as a result even though not offically training as a Jedi, her master Grozporin she saw had pretty much been expelled from the Coruscant Temple and only allowed back when recalled.

Gem moved through the many bridges and walkways leading tothe forest floor to get to the beach, but as the jedi lifted off from Kashyyyk her vision shifted, On the horizon she saw fire, red, warships, and men, lots of men. they were burning the planet, making landing zones, capturing Wookiees and forcing them into slave labor....

Then it ended.

She heard the hum of a lightsaber b ehind her, without reacting she brought her own weapon up to defend against the corrupted Jedi Master Aranis. Breaking the trules by ambushing a Padawan on their trial was not a good idea. Espeically iof that Padawan was the Padawan Learner of a Wookiee. When one learned from a Wookiee who was a Jedi Master, one learned more than a few things on how to properly be a Jedi. They learned a few.... personality quirks.

One good howl, amplified by the Force into a powerful earsplitting shrieking noise and the corrupted Jedi was on her knees and relieved of her head. As much as Gem didnt want to kill a fellow Jedi, they had fallen to the Dark Side here, and worse, bore strange wounds upon their bodies and clothing.

She heard strange whispers on the air, thinking it the Dark Side tempting her, she ignored the whispers asnd went deeper into the Temple both Lightsabers activated by then once again. Her Master was right. War was cruel to the innocent resulting in their deaths. But what couldnt be ignored was the sheer darkness that roiled through the Temple.

She had to find the core, she had to finish her trial....

She wanted to destroy that temple. 'Come to me Master, We can destroy this dark place together. We can end these nightmares... together' She sent through the Force, not knowing if he heard she felt his gentle hand upon her shoulder, a renewed sense of curage filled her being, She could do this.

As the Sorcerer continued to do his reaserch, he had already sensed the death of a so called 'master'...How feeble...His expectations were severely lowered for the last Chaotic Jedi alive..."What a waste...I had expected better of them..." The Sorcerer spoke as he read through hundreds of books and documents while also staring at a horrific demonic dagger.

The...thing glared at the Sorcerer wanting to feast...wanting a great deal of souls already...It hungered...It wanted death..."You will get your feast soon enough beast...The time grows near to unleash what I have plotted...To bring ruin... The sorcerers cackling laughter echoes as he gripped the dagger and sheathed it in a slot of his armor.

"Prepare to fight to your last slaves...My time here is almost up...You shall all show your final devotion in blood...Arm up and fight with the last so called 'Jedi' and assist him with worship. As long as you continue your prayers in the ritual circles, no harm shall befall you and perhaps I will learn how to use these Jedi to their full power...If he falls...You know what comes next..." He ordered.

Soon enough the cultists came together offering up unholy chanting, the last remaining Chaos Jedi has felt new power coursing through him. Stronger...Both with Speed, Strength...Psychic powers...Unnatural healing now...He truly accepted their powers now. But little did he know he was little more than a simple test.

The Sorcerer soon began to wrap us his work, clensing the library with warp fire before preparing to leave.

Indeed the Wookie was present with her now as he appeared to walk beside her. Grozporin was not a true force spirit but it was a technique that he had come across that allowed him to traverse great distances without having to physically be present.

"Do you recall that day?" Her master questioned her even though she was deep in a trance. She did not need to respond as the images would rush through her as things familiar and distant would present themselves over time. "You had been nothing more than a child when I presented you to them. It was your potential I saw deep within and I knew it needed to grow, however my words seemed almost lost to them, and as I left the order to begin your training we stepped into a new chapter of our lives...." Her masters words almost seemed like a distant echo as the scenery began to change as War and Death began to fill her visions and within seconds it ended as one battle became a distant echo another began anew.

Grozporin sensed another approach and though he was not physically present the force technique he learned offered him plenty of opportunities to aid his Padawan in her time of need. When Gem focused herself to let out a roar it was as if her Master roared alongside her. He would have been proud of her stance as she lobbed the head off the corrupted Jedi. It was a necessity, like war, and though it was messy and something that she wished needn't have done sometimes the only way to win a battle was through force. All the Jedi Knight could do was simply place a furred paw upon her shoulder and encourage her to look ahead at her task.

Master Grozporin was with her but for how long and to what ends was something that he himself couldn't say for certain. The wookie maintained his meditative position aboard the rebel vessel only to grimace as he fought off exhaustion. His only the comfort was the dimmed lights and burning incenses of his home world to help keep his connection to his Padawan strong.

Gem Crystaleye as she would advance through the darkened temple would suddenly be accosted by yet another vision as the scent of blood filled her nostrils and the growls of a large creature stood before her in the shadows. The walls seemed to grow into lush and dark ferns and the dark walls began to shift into rocky formations of another cave as a single ichor covered claw grasped as a protruding rocky formation within the wall itself. A large and scaly Tarentek emerged from the shadows before her with its toothy maw almost grinning at her while two lifeless forms lay silently behind it as a stark reminder of her past.

yes she remembered it, as she walked through thre visions she saw one that stood out first. Yoda and herself speaking alone

"How feel you ?" Yoda asked a young girl, Gem knew it was herself

"Tired, sir" the younger version of Gem, then twelve years old, said

"Skill you have over the Force. Visions you say spoke of me ?"

"Yes. I... two nights ago" the young version of Gem said "I had a dream where I saw... you... and Master Windu. Uncle says you're Jedi, with the skills that I have but able to teach me" It was clear the young girl wanted to learn the ways of the Jedi properly. Grozporin had only aided her in the very basics. And somwhow it included a lightsaber being made.... somehow she made it

"A lightsaber you carry" Yoda observed, "See it may I ?" the young girl nodded and held it out to Yoda, sure she was twlve, almost twice Yodas hieght and stature at the time. So the blade was full length. Yoda held the hilt, it was huge in his three fingered hands. He activated it. He deactivated it with a gentle sigh.

"Teach you I can not." He said simply "Disagree with your Uncle the Council does, agree with them I do not. Confer on you the title of Padawan I do. Your Master, Grozporin will be. Learn from him all you can you will. A Jedi you will be"

The memory faded as Ypoda pretty much said she could learn the ways of the Jedi, but her master, Grozporin was effectively banished from the Coruscant Temple, unless summoned for missions. As she walked through the temple, she mused thoughtfully aloud. "They did not force you to leave the Order, Master. You chose to teach me, Master Yoda agreed, but the rest of the Council didnt, they saw something Yoda didnt, or refused to see what Yoda saw in us." Yoda saw that Gem was going to be a great Jedi, a good woman, and possibly a teacher to many other students

She turned a corner and stopped in her tacks as she smelled blood. Blood faintly familar, hauntingly so. the massive clawed hands of the Tarentek pulled it around the rockface, Gem stared at the massive creature. Both lightsabers in a defensive pose. In the vision she stared.

No! Mother, Father! She thought in horror, her left hand let go of her lightsaber, it dropped to the stone floor of the cave as she blanched seeing their ravaged bodies, the Tarenteks toothy maw dripped with freshblood. Her parents blood. Gem dropped to one knee, Staring at the vision of her parents dead.

In reality, the corrupted Jedi stepped into view, its saber lit and ready to strike. At the same time the Tarentek struck she defended, Rolling out of the way gem grabbed up her fallen weapon and fought with the creature, attacking and bactracking,. it was an illusion, that was all it was, she had no idea what was going on, but somehow it was just a vision, it was a memory, as hauntingly real as it was, it was merely a memory.

She fought hard against the creature, aiming to defeat the thing. While in reality her body, in a trance, fought against the corrupted Jedi Knight easily. SXeveral cultists tried to take her down, only to fall by the dozen as she moved through the temple facing both the vision and the corrupted Jedi. But it was only going to be a certain amount of time before she could finish the trial. Her master had disappeared yet she felt him through the Force, suddenly his presence got stronger than normal as his ships appeared in orbit from Hyperspace.

With renewed energy Gem span on her feet, a half dozen cultist dropped dead as sheer Force power surged through her, the Light Side of the Force was pure and Gem shined with its energy. the corrupted Jedi threw Force Lightning at her, but she easily deflected it, her body still in a trance as her mind fought against the tarentek in her vision.

Finally it was over.

The tarentek fell, both sabers released it of its head. As it fell over Gems body, still in its trance, exploded with pure Light Side energy, it spread like a nuclear warhead, spreading through the temple of sheer power. As the energy, Pure Light holy energy to some, spread through the temple it destroyed every culist it made contact with Simply consuming erverything it cxame in contact with like an endless wave. Within which sheer peace was felt.

When the Light side made contact with the skin of the corrupted Jedi, it fought back briefly, but it was no match for the purity before it. Chaos fled, yet peace remained. Gem opened her eyes as the vision faded. A single crystal of golden energy sparked before her. Raising her hand she took it It split into two, settling within her sabers, humming with newfound power she deactivated bothy lightsabers, but started walking, as she did, the Forcve Nexus became a brief part of her and moved with her, Cleansing the temple. As she stepped closer to the corrupted jedi, the man screamed in agony as his power was torn from him, His screamed lasted but a moment however as everlasting peace was attained as he became One with the Force.

Gem stepped out of the temple to stand beside her starfighter, the borrowed A-Wing simply sat waiting, but it shimmerered slightly, and Gem could feel the starfighter had been imbued somehow, with the Force. It reacted to her touch, much like her lightsabers did. "Master.... The temple is cleansed.... But I feel we should still raze it....."

She was cutoff however as a group of a good size dozen cultists arrived, armed and ready they opened fire. Smacking the nose of the starfighter it seemed to listen and started up on its own as Gem moved back to the Temple door. Better to fight inside hallways rather than be taken down from afar. The A-Wing lifted off the ground of its own accord but it was really acting by her will. It was Force Imbued and therefore, it only answered to a jedi with strong enough conviction to use it.

The only problem was, a Wookiee Jedi was on his way to the planet surface to aid his Student, Gem may be a thirty three year old woman, but she was still the Padawan Learner of a wonderful Wookiee and family friend. Of course by time Grozporin could join her, Gem was already neck deep in combat

The Chaos Soecerer shook his head as his new pawns were rather incapable of slaying a single woman. What a waste of effort on his part, he had expected some positive results but in the end they proved to be as useless as the rabble cultists. "And I still need more time...So it must be..." The figure sighed as he continued his research.

He could sense a cleansing presence around, however his very tainted presence allowed it to keep it at bay from the room he was in. His very presence knawed at reality, and he was of course not pleased at the cleansing. "So it seems I am the last one left...Regardless, I have no time to waste on the rabble coming here...I shall finish up here..." He spoke as he continued to examine more books then burn them.

Grozporin snapped out from his meditation as the final blow was made. The wookie clutched at his chest breathlessly only to feel his body writhe with exhaustion as he began to lean forward while using his other hand to steady himself. The Jedi Knight looked around his meditation chambers only to recall each bit was from home and that he was aboard a Rebel star ship known as Redorans Hope. Gem's master was about to slowly make his way up from his mat only to stumble forward as the vessel seemed to lurch forward as if pushing through the mud and sandy beaches of his home.



The communications seemed to be back up but the state of the ship needed an overhaul if they would make their journey. Slowly Master Groz began to totter forward only to take up his lightsaber and an old crooked looking staff which he used to steady himself only to then take up a spilt bottle of Old Janx Spirit and frown at the loss of the liquor. He had other things to worry about however as he forced his way out from his quarters and down the hall only to met up with a group of rebel soldiers and operatives who prepared a HWK-290 for flight.

Grozporin roared out his orders only to then take up a seat along with a few other soldiers as they departed from the hanger of the main cruiser and while his transport arrived planet side and the scene of Gem fighting for her life the tired wookie knew it was not their end. "Your apprentice is in visual range sir!" The pilot shouted as the light freighter opened its doors and turned to the side allowing the wookie to rush out from the ship and jump down into the chaos bellow leaving behind his walking stick and nothing more. Master Grozporin activated his blue double bladed saber only to land beside her only to immediately take up the fifth lightsaber form and deflect several blast and melt away a few slugged weapon shots.

"You fight well Gem but this is not over!" Grozporin roared as he seemed to regain a bit of his energy from the ride over. Suddenly the wookie charged forward with his saber aglow and in full motion as he chopped down a few of the foolish cultists who tried to rush him with blades and axes whilst others felt the full pull of the force as they had been lifted off their feet and sent flying into the walls of the temple with sickening thuds and cracks. The wookie needed to see this temple fall and felt the corruption that still permeated deep within its bowels. The Jedi Knight pointed towards the upper levels of the temple and the pilot of his light freighter understood only to open a volley of heavy blaster fire killing countless more and even causing a portion of the temple to crumble and crack.

Bringing up her sabers Gem easily defelcted blaster fire back at their attackers. the A-Wing lifted off and joined in rank wit the other fighters, easily leading the strike runs on the corrupted Temple. Cuncussion torpedos slamed into the building, it cracked and parts of it broke apart, slamming down like rain around the mob.

Gem didnt see it, nor did Grozporin, but a stray shot set off a powder keg behind them, it went off, sending Gem flying, her left saber deactivating and rolling a few meters away from her as she stood up she delfected another shot with a single weapon. Turning her gaze she saw a corrupted Jedi diving for her weapon before she simply rased her left hand, the weapon flew into her grasp without a problem. She then faced off against the corrupted Jedi one on one as Master Grozporin took care of the Temple

Finally as the Chaos Sorcerer was leaving Gem shriefked something and her hand reached out for Grozporin Pulling her Master to safety she let out a horrendus roar that could kill a Tarentek in one shot due to the sheer power, the power of the roar destroyed the main enterance ray, allowing the orbital bombardment to begin. The temple would be destroyed for sure.

Soon ehough the temple was destroyed and in ruins, the smoking remains had been further fired upon to fully ensure they'd be gone for good. the nightmares were to end at all costs. But Gem wasnt ready to loss her Master and dear friend. As he went down from exaustion She went to his side. easily chopping down a good half dozen cultists and currpioted Padawans. She hated harming Jedi, but these were damaged, destroyed, corrupted by the darkside... and worse besides. She deactivated her left saber and put it on her belt, her right ready for use as she reached a hand to her Master to help him to his feet. "Master, we're nearly done! Come on, I can get you out of here." She called down her A-Wing, it was too small for Master Grozporin to fit, but it could at least get him to the gunship safely.

A shot was fired, Gem span about, easily defelcting the shot, but as she did so the A-Wing opened fire on the cultists, covering both Jedi in their retreat as the orbital bombardmen began to make the ground shake crazily. the plain Silver A-Wing hovered a half meter off the ground to allow Gem and Grozporin to step onto its wedged front nose.

But it only backed upo a good dozen meters before stopping. Gem felt it. The nightmares were still present, She looked to her Master. her eyes glittered brightly, backlit it seemed by their lightsabers. She turned her second weapon off, hooking it to her arm where she kept it she raised her hand towards the reuins of the Temple the same time as her Master.

They had to destroy it, together

The ground began to shake violently

The Sorcerer looked up as he felt the Temple shaking. "Looks like I am out of time...Still, I have obtained what I have gathered...But I do not like to leave guests unattended too...Let me...Give them a fine farewell..." The Sorcerer spoke as a signal appeared under his feet and vanished as the library crumbled above him.

He soon re-appeared outside in front of the temple. It looked like they were destroying it to cleanse the taint from this world...What a simple mindset, this planet has already fallen to Chaos yet no one knows it. They outnumber any loyalist forces on this planet. But still, it was amusing to see them doing all in their power to destroy it by orbital fire and what appeared to be...some sort of psychic powers.

He showed to hint of worry as he looked over at the A-wing with the two Jedi. "I have to say...Those 'Jedi' that have served the Ruinious Powers were disappointing...Well, I thank your for allowing me to collect everyone's souls here...You have done me a great service..." He gave a mock bow before speaking again. "However your efforts here are a waste...Still...I would remain here to personally destroy you all...However I have far greater matters to attend to. I have...need of a galaxy to burn right now...Billions of souls sent to the Warp to please the Dark Gods...And for that, I leave you just knowing who we are. We are the Legions of Chaos, our influence is everywhere...Our victory is always...Enjoy your peace of mind while it lasts. Because I have information on new galaxies full of more...Jedi...To easily manipulate and slay like helpless children...I bid you both farewell..." The Sorcerer let out a chilling laugh as with a movement of his hands a massive rift opened up in the skies. A tear into the very heart of the Warp opened up prepared to drag both the temple and both the Jedi to oblivion unless they acted quickly.

"This is but a fraction of the powers of Chaos...If you happen to survive let this power eat away at your minds for all of eternity." His figure soon vanished as a small portal opened up behind him before vanishing.

The Wookie Jedi felt himself get pulled and offered help by his Padawan only to then look on in utter astonishment as the Chaos Sorcerer ripped open a rift in the sky above their ships as the warp began to absorb everything like a vacuum in space.

"Pull a full retreat!" Grozporin roared as his light freighter began to struggle to fight against the pull of the warp. They needed to escape this as this was not to be their tomb nor would it be their end. "Go Gem! Get to your vessel now!" Her master growled his command only to then rush off towards his ship which opened up allowing him to escape.

The forest was a peaceful place, Of course when it was full of critters wanting to kill then it was not so peaceful, but this forest was peaceful. Peaceful enough for two Jedi to teach each other, and learn from each other, as well as learn from nature. A pair of starfighters were parked in a clearing edge while the two Jedi themselves were in the middle of the clearing practasing lightsaber candances.

Since her Master, and in a way, her Uncle, used a staff saber, Gem used for a time only one of her sabers in both hands. The golden blade parried and struck at her Master, she was learning from him a means of self control. If she went into something too quickly, she was bound to drop her guard or her master to find a hole in her defense.

The wookie twirled and jabbed his lightsaber in a verity of ways to test his apprentices defenses. Grozporin continued to press his assault only to growl with ever other strike.

"Sloppy!" The wookie roared as he brought his Saber Staff up and then around causing one of the blades to fly up towards Gem's defense from bellow. "Stay on guard and press the attack once you see an opening!" The Wookie Master would then lunge forward with his massive clawed hand only to strike outwards with a open palm full of energy as he channeled the force to push his apprentice back.
