Grrr... these Jedi just keep pointing fingers at us. If this wasn't a diplomacy mission I'd... He noticed that the hologram Jedis seemed to be a bit confused. One of them, Cid, arose from his holographic chair. "What is this, 'pulse' you three have felt?"

Steelven decided to answer him. "It felt... like a struggle. It seems that one of them is lacking a bit, but's that's just my guess."

Cid felt that wasn't a good enough answer. "Gralen, I don't know if these two can be trusted. They seem too anxious to lead you to this 'pulse'. It could be a trap."

"I do not believe even a Sith could forge this power" replied Gralen, closing his eyes, "and if they destroy me, they will be faced with the wrath of the entire council. But I will be careful, and I will not place any more trust than is absolutely needed in these two."

Havec was looking unusually impatient, and as soon as the bearlike Jedi was finished reassuring his companion, she said "we'd better be going" and took to the air. The council chamber opened out onto a balcony, and although her wing had recently been broken, Havec's thin bones healed quickly. The shortest distance between two points was, after all, a straight line, and so the Sith lord took a running jump out the window, causing Gralen to yell out and draw his lightsaber again.

It took Havec a few feet of freefall to catch herself, but the metal and rock that made up most of the planet's surface now made for an almost planet wide updraft, so climbing back to the balcony was easy. "If you two wish to come, you'd better follow quickly" she said, pausing to wait a moment for them.

He knew that he had to get there fast. "Come on....bear. We have to get moving." Steelven ran out of the council room, not caring if Gralen got left behind. I am ready for this. I haven't been ready for anything recentely, but now I am.

Gralen moved quickly, especially considering his size. He ran after the half-robotic Sith while Havec flew on ahead, dodging a few stray cars in the air and then diving straight down towards the source of the disturbance. She soon realized it was coming from one of the bottom floors of the prison, and fluttered to a stop, instinctively using her powers to charm the guards into thinking she was Jedi, which wasn't too hard since other Jedi had recently entered, and she was already wearing the correct robes.

Steelven was starting to get farther ahead. "Hey, bear! Keep up the pace!" He wasn't actually insulting Gralen, Steelven wanted to aggrivate the Jedi so that he would be more ready for what they were going to face. I can sense that he is powerful, and we'll need his help to defeat this foe.

((Now, as for Aven and his old apprentice...))

Even with three lightsabers, Aven still couldn't land a blow on his foe. His old apprentice put up quite a fight. "Getting old and rusty, master?" taunted his enemy. "Old? Yes. Rusty? No. In fact, I'm better than ever!" replied Aven as he tried to keep hitting him with constant slashes from his lightsabers.

Gralen growled, and dropped to all fours. A few people gave him some very strange looks as he ran by, but it made him almost twice as fast. He quickly caught up to the android Sith, and stayed a couple of paces behind him, keeping an eye on the dark Force user.

Havec, meanwhile, had already reached the prison. For once, she had her lightsaber drawn without hesitation, and her jewelry collection floated in mid air beside her, assembling its self into her second weapon. She took several deep breaths to calm herself as she sensed the source of the wrongness beyond the next bend, then turned, ready to face whatever monster this Necromancer was.

The enemy quickly sensed Havec. "So, you need others to finish what you have started? You're weaker than I thought." cackled his foe. "No. She's coming because we're friends, something you'll never have anymore!" Aven yelled this while giving his opponent a flurry of lightsaber slashes.

--------
Steelven was getting tired of running forever. Geeze loueez! How many floors down is the prison? 27,000? "Gralen, how much farther to your prison chambers?" He then noticed that Gralen was running on all fours. Whoa! That's amazing! And I can only imagine how he fares in lightsaber combat!

"Nice T'see y'Havec" said Tarix, then she paused. "Havec /is/ yer name, right? Because apparen'ly Aven ain't Aven."

"I'm still me, don't worry" she said, holding both lightsabers and facing the Necromancer. "You're on to talk about weakness, attacking a Jedi who hasn't even recovered from your last fight."

- - - - - -

"Two more floors down, I think, are the main prison halls for regular prisoners" growled Gralen, breathing heavily. He didn't pause in his stride as he ran down yet another flight of stairs, wishing that the prison could have put in an elevator.

Raziel felt a sudden surge in the force, "oh god" he whispered, "what is it master?" one of the younglings asked, raziel did not answer him he just walked straight over to the padawans at the door, "i need to go to coruscant, the others are in great danger, you look after the younglings until i get back" he whispered to the two padawans stood at the door, he then ran out of the door and dashed into the shuttlebay, he then ran over to his ship and entered it, he then walked over to a cupboard in the cockpit and opened it, "i hoped i would'nt have to wear this again" he said as he took out his bounty hunter armor and put it on, he then took his helmet out, he put on his helmet, he then noticed something in the back of the cupboard, his original lightsaber, he grabbed it and sat at the controls, "powering up engines, engines powered up, initiating warp drive, warp drive initiated2 he said as he flipped a few switches, his ship then rose out of the hangar, his ship then entered hyper space and shot off into space.

*************************************************************

Raziel soon arrived at coruscant, he made sure to land his ship far from the jedi temple, as he ran through the streets of coruscant, he thought to himself, i hope i'm not too late he arrived at the jedi temple, he ran inside, as he ran through the main hall and as he started to run up the stairs he noticed that he was attracting attention to himself, "probably not the smartest thing but i need to help out the others, he got to the top of the stairs and entered the council chamber, as soon as he entered he noticed that the only remaining council members were holograms, he then noticed a smashed window, he walked over to it and looked down, the prison block was right below there and if he ran down the stairs it would take him ages to get there, "god what am i going to do?" he moaned, "well for a start i am taking this armor off" he said as he started to take off the armor to reveal his normal outfit.

((umm... kryten, the only Jedi in the council room currentely are holograms. The only one that was there with us was Gralen, and he's currentely with me as we're trying to reach the others. Maybe you should have actually read what was going on. Lol just kidding. It's ok. Just be sure to edit your post and everything. ))

The Necromancer was easily blocking Aven's swipes. "You bore me, master." the foe said as he trie pushed Aven back with the force. Luckily, Aven caught his force push and returned it right back at his enemy. "Gaah!" was all the evil one could say before he was thrown back.

"I guess being young isn't everything." said Aven as he grinned a crooked smile.

The enemy looked around himself. "Hmm... if you all are going to fight me, I guess it's only fair to even things out." At that moment, he turned into 4 images of himself that weren't just illusions.

Raziel paced up and down wondering what he could do, "i could let the force guide me" he said, he then sat down and started to meditate, he then had a vision of his brother kain, "do not be afraid, i am going to help you with a little gift for caring for rahab" kain said and then he vanished, raziel snapped out of the trance and stood up, "AGGGHHHH" he shouted as he saw his reflection in the glass, he had large bat-like wings, raziel streched them out, it felt strange but he could worry about that later, now he needed to help his friends, he stood on the edge of the broken window, "i hope these wings aren't just for show" he said as he jumped out of the window, he flapped his wings and got some updraft, he then got into a standing position and slowly decended towards the prison blocks roof, as he landed he took out his lightsaber and a black blade shot out of the end, he then plunged his lightsaber into the roof and started to burn a hole in the roof, once he had gone all the way round he kicked the circle and it fell down to the ground, he then positioned his wings so then he could jump down through the hole, as he landed he heard the clash of lightsabers, he ran in the direction of the noise and followed it down a small side corridor, there he saw it, aven and a jedi locked in a battle to the death, raziel saw havec and someone else at the other end of the corridor, he needed to get to them so he did a run up and jumped over aven and the jedi, and landed next to havec, "nice to see you havec" he greeted.

((Kryten, once again you are powerplaying to get your character there far too quickly- it was already stated that Havec and Steelven took the fastest ship avaliable, and it took them several hours (I think five) to reach the planet from the base. If you would like to get in on the action immediately, I have already offered everyone the opportunity to create a second character amongst the Jedi, and I strongly suggest you take it, because Raziel is going to be stuck out in space for awhile now, even if he does sense the events going on at Coruscant (which is unlikely, since the holographic Jedi council members didn't, and they're probably closer.))

Havec mentally cringed at the duplicates- she knew reasoning with this man would be useless, even with her expertise, and fighting was not her strongest point. But the others would arrive soon, enough to even the odds again, and surely he'd soon realize that revealing himself to the Jedi here had been a mistake. Perhaps he has not yet secured an army? she thought, wondering just what his plans were.

Even as she thought the matter over, she lunged, running forwards then leaping up at the last moment, thrusting both blades downwards at one of the copies' faces as she spread her wings to keep herself from tumbling straight onto him, where her lighter frame would have been a severe disadvantage.

((Gryph, as i have said before *****************************= a space of time passing, and it doesn't really matter, your character sensed steelvens surge on hoth so why couldn't raziel sense the fight?))

((Skipping five hours of time without the permission of other players is still godmoding. I'm willing to believe your character could sense the fight, but Raziel seems to have a whole lot of special powers, and he's starting to seem too strong.))

((gryph, havec has a whole lot of special powers, but do you want me to cut the wings part out of my post i will))

"Excuse me Masters" said Venon as he interrupted the silence that came about from the shock of having the two Sith and another Master leaving "I must take care of some buisness" he finished as he left the chambers.

I have been sensing this Necromancer for a while now, but I thought nothing of it; I thought no one in their right mind would do that... but for it to be real.... No time for these thoughts, I must hurry quickly to the prison. I'm not sure that they all know the power a Necromancer can have...

Quickening his pace, Venon began to break into a run as he made his way towards the prison.

((umm... once again... I thought that the only "present" people at the meeting were Steelven, Havec, and Gralen. Every other Jedi Council member was a hologram. Or maybe I'm just crazy ))

----------
Aven was devistated when he saw the multiple copies. How many abilities does he have?!?!? Nevertheless, he summoned all his courage and re-entered the fray by colliding lightsabers with one of the copies.

Meanwhile, the Necromancer was restoring his stamina, since the copies were keeping his enemies busy. What fools. They'll never be able to defeat me, even with all the reinforcements coming to aid them. He turned his head to Havec, grinning. "My, you're a different one. A species as rare and powerful as you should put up and interesting fight. Perhaps if you can defeat my copies you can become my wife!" He started to cackle.
----------
Steelven was still running. Oh man. I sure hope we make it there before it's too late.

((Gryph I'll let you decide when we get there.))

((Yeah, I'm pretty sure not every consol member was a hologram...))

((ok just forget about raziel being there, i'll control my council member))

Zephon watched as the necromancer said something to the bird-like woman, "ok this has gone far enough" zephon said as he jumped over aven and his old padawan, to where the bird-like woman was standing, "man Raziel would have loved this if he were here" he said as he watched.
