    Lea walked into the building and almost fell over at the absolutelly beautiful women standing before him.  She smiled brightly and said" Can I help you, sir?"
    Lea smiled at the site of no rings on her fingers than said.." Um ya, where am I?"
    She smiled and pointed at the sign right above her.  It said:  Center for Corelian Research and developement. 
    "Thankyou,"he said.
    "Is that all, sir?" she said in a polite voice.
    "Actually, my names Lei whats yours?"  he asked.
    "Trixy.  Is that all?"
    "I'd like to take you out for a drink Trixy.  I'm ganna be down at the cafe' about 3 blocks south of here if you'd like to join me..."  He smiled and walked out.

    Just as Lei was sitting down Trixy arrived through the front entrance of the Systil's Cafe'.  She smiled considerably and sat down just from acrost Lei.
    "So, what's up...?" she asked expectantly. 
    "Oh, it's nothin.  I was just hopin you could tell me a little about you..." he guestured.
    She smiled and said," Oh, well, um...  I've workin' at Corellia for 13 months and I worked in coruscant as senior undersecratary for 3 years..." She talked about life in Coruscant and asked how he had come to be there. 
    "Business." he lied.
    "Oh, what do you do exacly..."  she said just as something went off.
    "What's that?" he asked?
    "Oh, that's alarm.  I gotta go..." she said as she got up from her seat and ran out the door.
    "Ok,"said Lei.
    Lei paid for his drink and left to find somewhere to stay.  He walked down the streets to a small building to which in releif he found it was a motel, and for cheap.
    He paid for a room and bought something to drink at the counter of a small cantina to the side of the motel entrance.  He continued to a small hallway with numerous doors with numbers barely intact.
    Lei finally found his room and opened it. 
    "Please sit down!" ordered a man with a black cloak holding a blaster level with Lei's head.

I'm startin to get a bit of a story I suppose.. Have fun... AH HA.

    It was dark, but Lei could still make out a chair next to the east wall and to the west wall sat the man with the blaster. 
    Lei made his way to the chair, looking for a way out or some weapon he could pull out at the last second. 
    As Lei sat down the man said,"Why are you here Lei?"
    Lei looked up at him and said," How do you know my n..."
    But the man cut him off,"Answer the question or I'm going to shoot you Lei.  Stop playing innocent and tell me where you're hiding it."
    Lei looked at him in wonder than said,"What are you t..."
    "Give me an answer!"he said as he stoop up in a thunderous manner.
    "I don't know what you're talking about!"
    "You think you can get away with killing so many of my comrades and get away with it.  You think you can outsmart the Warl Clan?  Whatever it is you stole, you better tell me where it is right now or you're not going to walk from this room." he said with enthusiasm but with a rage glinting in his eyes.
    "You don't even know what you're looking for and you come in here to threaten me?" he said with barely any enthusiasm compared to the other man.  "Who are you!" he shouted.
    The man ran up to him grabbed him by the shirt and hoisted him up into the air with obviouse ease.
    He wispered into Lea's ear,"Tell me who I am or I'll kill you..."
    "I-I-I don't know..." he said, barely able to keep himself together.
    Lea saw that the man had dark blue eyes that peirced through him.  For a moment the two of them staired at eachother then the man said almost as if to himself,"You really don't know do you..."  His eyes turned a little lighter and then he slowly lowered Lei back down to his chair.  "Sit down." he said firmly as he turned away to go back to his own chair.
    "Why are you here?" the man said with calm interest.
    "I'm not sure.  I-I suppose because of a dream.  I-I mean I know that sounds insane.  I was on Coruscant, and I had a dream.  I woke up, but I couldn't..." he stopped as if he couldn't go on.
    "Continue," the man said firmly.
    "I-I, couldn't remember.  But I remember the feeling.  I remember a very strong feeling of...  Pain.  And, a very sad feeling of betrayl." he said but the looked up at him with a noticable change in his eyes.
    "What do you know about yourself?"
    "What do you mean?"
    "What do you know about yourself.  Where you were born, you know..." he guestured.
    Lei told him about his childhood then his job problems and about the dream and his time on Corellia.
    "How old are you?" said the man with ernest curiosty.
    "Thirty, no thirty-three, no..." said Lei as he screwed up his face in consentration.  "I-I don't know..."
    The man slouched down in his chair and said," I didn't think so..."

Meanwhile, somewhere off in distant space, there was a man with an answer.  He sat in his chair and held a silver cylinder in his hand.  He looked down at the object for a moment, then stood up from his seat and walked to the left side of his home.  His house was made entirely of reflective glass.  Invisable if you didn't know where it was.  And laser proof.  He looked outside the window for a few moments then looked towards the houses most interesting feature.
    In the center of his home was a large circular stage of pure copper.  The surface glistened in the crystal light as the man walked towards it.  He stood upon the smooth surface and looked at the cylinder again.  It too glistened in the crystal light.
    The man then closed his eyes...  The floresant crystal look of the house dimmed, and took a blue tint.  The copper surface turned electric blue and ice cold.  Suddenly the cylinder's open end, etruded a long blue blade of pure energy.  It scaled a little longer than most of it's kind, but much more efficiant as well.  The man opened his eyes and unleashed them unto the area infront of him.  His eyes also took an electric blue tint that were both intimadatingly cold, but also seemed to have confidence and comfort. 
    He held the saber infront him for a few moments, as if challenging thin air.  Suddenly, he burst into a series of quick and precise movements.  The kata seemed to have ended as suddenly as it had started.  Again, he furried into a series of movements, each seeming as if they had a mood or emotion of their own. 
    The man's saber style was acrobatic and powerful.  Someone might suggest that his surprising power would only be a mere fortune.  But this was not true in the man's case.  For the cylinder had secrets of it's own.
    His saber seemed as plain, not common, but plain as any ever seen.  It's not what you see, but what you feel from this saber that would save you.  The features were endless with it.  Not to mention the designing.  The years of preperation it took to build it, then train it. 
    Yes, train it.  This, above all features was the most interesting detail about the saber, and was by far the most important if it was needed to be used correctly.
    Force user's often say that they're sabers seem to have a mind of their own.  This saber, however, did.
    The cylinders smoot metals were actually a form of force enhancement.  So much infact, that it could give the saber reflexes.  This gave anyone the upperhand.  This weapon, also had one more major detail.  This is the most important one.  Even with the special metals and what not, it still would be no match against a great jedi without this...  The Kyber Crystal. 
   

   


    *Note:  I've got somethin now.  And I have a conflict, which will be revealed later...  Plus a super cool bad guy!

Something was different, Lei was different, no...  The man who announced himself to be 'Icos' was apparently very angry about something, but at the same time astounded by the fact that Lei had no idea what he was talking about.  After a long pause, Icos took him to a dark room and told him to sleep.  Lei could not sleep.

He sat there, continuelly thinking, 'What's going to happen','can I escape, should I escape?'  He feared death, he was too young to die, and he'd led a good life besides all the bad stuff he'd done, but that's just how things were...  Fear filled his body to the point where he almost felt tears spring out, but he was exhausted from the terror that ran through him, his mind was numb from exhausted idea's that had been rampaging through his head, and he could only think of the end and that he would not be remembered.  Slowly, but surely, his eyes drooped and he was silent, a buzz filled his mind and he was asleep, uncontious but contious.

The haze was thick but he could see right through it, and it was pleasent.  Before him was a dark bar, people packed in every corner and just as many beverages lined the bar, dripping with whatever special drink some one had favored.  He was looking around, but he was in a dark corner, and he was with someone, a woman on his right, and a man on his left.  In a bit of shock, Lei noticed that the man was none other than Icos, the man who had improsened him inside a dark room from which he wasn't sure he would ever come out.  The woman on his right was very pretty, and was older than him, but she seemed to have a gentleness that made her seem younger. 

The dream was very vivid and clear, but it seemed to have been beyond him, something very different.  He sat there in his uncountious contiousness and held the feeling, it grew stronger and he assessed it.  It felt like it hadn't happened yet...  It hadn't happened; it was in the future!  A small firework went off in his head, he had properlly come up with something, but he was cut off by something very sinister appearing out of the ashes of his last dream.

He was now very cold, it was night and a single moon was shining through the thin clouds, barren treeland surrounded him, decidious tree's without there leaves were just creepy...  A small pond was sitting in the middle of a clearing and he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his back; where was he?

After observing the area for a few moments, a shrill and terrifying cry erupted from the dark forest, but he couldn't go anywhere.  Again, the feeling of 'nothing has happened yet' really grabbed a hold.  The scream scratched the night air again, this time slashed by mingled agitations of the voice, probably caused from some kind of pain...

Lei awoke in the room, covered in sweat, and extremely scared.  What was this?  It was like the dream he had when he came to Corillia.  It disgusted him...  However, he felt it's presence growing closer all the time, he had surprisingly not had the dream about his home planet like he had expected...  Something was most certainly going on...

Laguna Loire
Vast Empire Navy

Ex-soldier turned journalist, Laguna is a strong willed man with amazing energy. His compassion for the unfortunate drivers him to help the weak and bring down their oppressors.

Very strangly, Lei did not fight Icos apparent 'knowledge'.  In fact, he started to absorb everything he said, and dreamed of what he was talking about with little worry as to what was supposed to be going on in his life.  The more Icos told him about the old Jedi order and all the things that he'd been taught before hand, the more he felt he knew what he had actually been speaking about the entire time. 

That wasn't all though, because, since he had in fact come to accept he was something other than what he thought, and he was doing this reletivelly easilly, he was quickly becoming good freinds with Icos.  Of course, and Icos did not fight this either, indulging it at best. 

Every morning, just before sun-up, Lei would awake, completly upright and trying to recall what he'd dreamed before hand after being told to by his kid napper, but there was nothing to remember...  His mind was blank, clutching for something to grab a hold of and observe, but he couldn't...  Just couldn't.  But he could feel it becoming closer every day he tried, his mind becoming more and more focused, everyday things observed with greater attention to detail and more precise short term memory. 

After his quick meditation over supposebly non-existant dreams, he would make his way down the concrete corridor into the great room with the pictures along the walls, and the fire burning in the center.  And after a short meal, the teaching would begin, or remembering really. 

One by one, Icos would introduce him to different things that would help him remember, and he did, because it wasn't like amnesia.  No...  This was a simple 'forget'...  And since those things that he 'forgot' were so well known before hand, a little reminder is all it took. 

This process of waking up and remembering went on for about three and a half months, every day filled with several hours of introduction, body, and conclusion to an idea.

What else was there to learn besides Jedi technique that he already knew, wondered Lei after his last day of re-training, completely oblivious to the fact he was being sent out to do something after all this was complete.  It was like he'd been running an entirlly different life lately, he simply ignored everything outside of the little world he'd managed to find himself in. 

He walked into the firelit room and stood in front of the fire, just finishing up the meal he'd found lying on a table in the corner, left by Icos only moments before hand probably. 

It only took about three minutes for him to arrive, completely covered by a heavy black cloak, but there was something in his hand.

"Today...  We start combat training."  Suddenly, he tossed the single cylinder high in the air, over the open fire and into the outstretched hand of Lei. 

"Turn it on..." Icos was walking around the fire now, not even looking over at Lei, knowing he would be able to turn on the device reguardless of memory loss.  "That is yours...  And this..." pulling out another similar metal object," is mine..."  He made no facial expression, but instead, ignited the jedi weapon at the push of a button. 

A long glowing blade of blue extended into the open space at his front side, a quiet hum becoming constant.  To Icos's left came a second hum and a streak of red.  The sudden blood red staining on the walls made Icos shudder, a few memories becoming very apparent all at once. 

"Hold it in front of your, your legs in an L shape, that is your right one should be pointing away be behind your left."  He was now looking over at Lei who followed his directions to the best of his ability.  Without even thinking though, he let his left knee bend a little and put some pressure on his back heel. 

Without any forewarning, Icos spun with the sabre held straight out, a whilring circle of pure energy coming towards Lei.  Relfex took over though, and within a micro-second, his red sword of light smashed into the opposing color of blue. 

"Very good, this won't take long..."

Lei wasn't sure how to react.  His old teacher, who he did not remember or really have any feelings for, was in fact, his target.  By no means was he a killing machine.  No sir.  He did not even exact revenge let alone take a life.  All the time he'd been learning things he hadn't actually thought about what had occured in the past.  Now he seemed to be in for a rude awakening.

Icos was completely serious the way he identified the target.  But he said nothing else, and neither did Lei.  Instead, he decided to sit down and clear his head of thoughts while the teacher set up the course.  He wasn't exactly sure where he was getting his habits from, because Icos seemed to have no habits at all.  Clearing his head was the automatic one, and seemed to releive him greatly.  Any stress or problem that could arrise could also be solved just as easilly with a quick 'meditation.' 

Months had gone by, and Lei wondered if people wondered about him.  Thoughts like these were not unliked though, so he liked to instead ponder them while sitting in the sea of his thoughts.  The idea someone else worried about him, somewhere, at some time, comforted him significantly.  The girl he'd tried to take out must be feeling some kind of remourse for his disappearence.

These were nice, but most of them fell upon what he was going to be doing.  Icos' intentions were not at all clear, and when he said something, it often meant another idea entirelly.  His blue eyes seemed so easy to trust, but he was extremely misleading with body language, speech, and especially those icy tools looking right back at the intended target...

Also, he felt that his teachings were leaving something extremely important out of them.  What it was, Lei truly could not put his finger on.  It was right there every time, but he couldn't get a hold of the idea.  It was something huge though. 

The 'feeling' he got around Icos was one of deep mystery, but he felt it was connected to many things he was often questioning.  He was holding back, and eventually, it would all be revealed.  Man it made him angry, but instead of renouncing the emotion, he was engaging its power, allowing it to influence him more and more.  Simple things were no longer simple, but complicated and in need of passion.  He did not get into heated arguments though.  There was a sardonic attitude as of late though.

Through this molded form he was becoming, Lei was becoming more unpredictable.  Icos seemed to pay it no mind though, almost embracing the attitude by offering no scolding tone or even a rebuking word.  The student did not think on it though and let his confidence build.  Every day he would meditate, to clear his head of what he beleived to matter to everyone but himself.  He would be concerned with himself alone.  Even these thoughts were becoming friendly to him. 

One cool evening, Icos had gone to a far meadow to fetch 'a surprise' and Lei was all by his lonesome.  The walk between hallways was a masterful way to tempt him into investigating his masters study.  Something urged him to enter.  And finally, he did.

The sun was falling behind the hills and shadows were cast sideways against the grey rock walls.  The air was a bit musty as the fire roared higher and higher with every moment the student waited.  He had been sat directly in front of the office, next to the fire to keep warm though, or so said Icos.

He would have been able to hold himself back better, but he could find absolutely no just cause to himself from it.  Why could he not go in there?  What remarkable reason was there for someone elses immediate privacy?  So the room had no defense. 

And time was going by...  Very slowly.  The student waited next to the fire for five full hours, resisting the urge to enter the room.  Finally, he said to himself...  "Screw it'.  There would be no more wonder or contimplating.  As he stood up though, the sound of Icos entering through the brush was heard.  Lei turned his head to see the cold shining eyes of his teacher.

"You may sit...  I have brought you your gift..." he said with a smile.  He must have thought I was getting up to greet him, thought Lei with an air of certain luck.

"What have you?" the student said, supressing a resounding sigh.

"My trust." The teacher kept eye contact with a smug grin on his face and a strong hand coming to greet his own. 

"What?"

"This was a test my friend.  I know you've been feeling some serious yerning to get into my study.  Don't worry...  I was sending those vibes to you.  I've been just beyond the hedges to the east, watching you.  You did not move once to that door.  Whatever questions you thought could be answered in there would not have been.  There was nothing you could find in there.  Trust me, because I now trust you." Icos let go of his students hand and sat him down a log and went to the little build in cantina area.  They would drink to this celebration.

"Ah crap...  I'll be right back, I have some excellent drink for the occasion..." And Icos was off to the cellar. 

Lei had an unbelievable confidence about him suddenly, and without even thinking strode into the study of his teacher.  The room was a dirty yellowish color with two dim lamps hanging in the corners of a half octogan room.  On the desk ahead was another light that was of some strange origin with absolutely no scattered papers as the student had assumed there should be.  Instead, it was very clean, and the room altogether seemed well kept and overly organized.  The man was curious still, a clean look wasn't enough to throw him off.  Neither was his teacher's trust.  Lei did not trust his teacher at all. 

He would have to move quickly he though as he silently stepped to the side of the desk.  The drawers were all locked by again, the student was confident and simply held his hand to the locks, feeling the gears within.  In his mind, the mechanisms within were being constrained, held to a position.  They simply needed to be freed.

There was a click and the door slid outwords.  The man held his hand over the open drawer of papers and maps, feeling for something...  Anything.  But there was nothing and he was now becoming very impatient.  Icos would return very shortly.  He closed the drawer quietly and relocked it, undoing the next one down with the same ability he had just exhibited.  Again, he held his hand over ther drawer, this one was filled with parts from some kind of model or scale diagram.  The impulses from before had somehow returned.  This was the hot spot.  He rumaged through the fragile parts and let his hand be led to the position he was being sent coords to.  His hand fell upon a lump in the underlay of the drawer.  Quickly, he pulled it up. 

A datapad.  He smiled but was soon frowning as he heard the steps of a stone staircase a moment later. 

Icos appeared at the entry way to the staircase and glanced to his study.  The door was shut and Lei was back in his seat.

He smiled again and said," Alright...  Les drink up..."

(Excuse me if that one was a bit dry...  I had to show you something.)
