Allllriiiight, finally posting (Sorry for being so late!). But the story already sounds great! Are we all meeting up at Coruscant or something? 

~Elisai

"That's the last."

The cloaked crate in front of me is slowly lifted onto the speedway and whisked away. I watch after it, ignoring the speaker, Lieutenant Chavez. A capable trooper, but swelled up with his meager authority. I wonder how he got stuck doing trade deals.

"Your payment will be sent to you shortly. The same amount as agreed upon."

I finally turn to him, putting on a slightly shocked face.

"After all the extra work I did, just to get you that synth-defense?" I change my hurt expression to flat "you're kidding". For a second he looks scared.

"You agreed not to mention that," A flicker of fear and his undisturbable calm is back, "But as it stands there might be a new dividend for overtime in various interplanetary management."

I smile slightly. Beneath the big words, there's plain hard money for me.

"Thank you, Lieutenant, I trust you'll take care of all the arrangements." He makes some response about how he would never fail the Empire or something like that, but I'm already halfway to my ship. Another day, another successful trade, another batch of money.

Back in my cabin, I watch the newsreel while playing with my long braid of white hair. Small disturbances on the Outer Rim, a minor market failure, nothing worrisome. Something flashes up about some desert planet in the far reaches, but I ignore it. Another hour till Coruscant, maybe less.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wow, my thoughts are scattered. Please tell me if I should bump into the group coming from Tatooine, cause I'm at a loss of ideas. 

Im so sorry I havent been posting here guys! I went out of town!

Terron~

I woke up suddenly, and sat up in my bed. Where was I? What had happened? Had I been captured by the Empire? I reached for my lightsaber instinctively, only to find it not at my waist like it always was. I slammed my fist down onto my leg in anger, but when I did, a searing pain shot up from it. I lifed the covers of the bed to find my right leg was incased in some sort of bandage. I looked around the room. It was similare to the sick hut of my village, a stone built, rounded structure, except there were Empire weapons, medals, and armor hanging from the wall. But al of the items looked beat up, or had burn holes from blaster rounds in them.  I slowly got up out of the bed, and suddenly saw, on the table sitting beside my bed, my lightsaber. Relived, i piked it up and ignited it, admiring the warm green glow of my weapon. I thoguht to myself about the situation. I could kick down the door to the hut (with m good leg obviously) and try to fight m way out of this place...however if the Empire had indeed captured me they would not have left my lightsaber around where I could obviously find it.

"Quite the wepon, isnt it?" I jumoed and wheeled about to where the voice had come from. There was a woman in long, dark robes standing ion the cornere of the room.

"Who are you?" I growled, holding up my blade.

"I am Jedi KNight Eris Lohan, I was the knight instucted to collect you and transport you to our temple."

"So I'm in a Rebel village?" 

The woman laughed and gestured to the wall. "Does that look like it was put htere by Empire loyalists?"  

Terron chuckled wrily. "No, guess not. Are Maya and Fynn alright?"

"Fynn is, although Maya has been put out of commission for awhile. Nothing life threatening. Though the prisoners were liberated."

"I cant believe I led my friends into that death trap."

"Do not be hard on yourself. While i adont know that you had a good strategy, it was a noble effort. A few troopers had been placed in the rocks wiht rocket launchers. They all shot at once when you jumped. You managed to force push two of them, probably saving your two comrads fro, being hurt worse, but you were unable to stop the third. It detonated right near you and while you were still airborne and sent you flying into hte cliff's face. You're lucky to be alive."

"So why am I going to the Jedi Temple instead of back to my village?"

"You have an assighnment. One that you are more than welcome to decline, but you would have the opportunity to play a critical role in the rebbellion. I am going to take you to our temple, which as tyou know has been expertly hidden from the prying eyes of the Empire. You will be transported there for your continued JEdi training. I cannot tell you more than this, but you will be completely informed of our plan once you arrive at the temple."

"What baout My master, Maya and Fynn?"

"They will also be playing roles in our mission, and you will still see them, but you will be trained by a different master."

The conversation with Eris Lohan had been playing in Terron's head the entire hour he had been wating in the training room of the Temple. Terron sat in a meditative position, thinking about th unexpected turn of events in is life. Images of Maya, Fynn, and my Master flew through my head. If the visions were acurate, the other three had also been transported to-a temple? No, not a temple. Where were they?

Just then, Terron sensed another presence in the room with him and opened his eyes. Looking to his left, he saw a girl around his own age sitting next to him, looking at him.

"Um, hello there." I said hesitantly.

"So," the gril said," You're the Padawan I'm going to train."

"I guess so. What is your name?"

The girl glared him down. "Aya. I hear you messed up pretty goood your last mission."

"Not one of my better effort I'll admit, but I was somewhat limited with options."

"Well, I'm going to teach you differently tha your previous master."

"Different how?"

"There's a new mission in the rebbellion. If my master has told me right, one that you and I will take part in."

"What kind of missionare we talking about?"

"Details for later. Now we shall begin our first training lesson."

We stood up. "Okay." Isaid. Then I laughed. "And happy birthdy, by the way."

Aya looked at me wiht confusion. "My grattitude, but how did you know that?" 

"I hve my moments." I replied, igniting my saber.

Why won't this go up?! XD

~Erin

I jolt out of hyperspace, making me jump.  I glare at the Empire carrier that stopped me.  But I couldn't help being curious as to what this Empire ship was about.  So I follow it, hoping that someone -- or something -- on it was worth my time.

Aya~

"Alright, Jedi Knight," I snort. "Let's begin." 

I get up and sense him follow me to the training room. I take a turn and find myself in the room where we have matches. 

I turn to him, and he turns on his lightsaber. He grins at the green glow, and I shake my head in amusement.

"This match will determine your status and how much you need to train. Let's begin."

I take my lightsaber and hold it to the side, seeing it out of the corner of my eye as it glows blue. 

He charges at me, and I notice that he looks at the place he will attack. I deflect it and then push him down with my own lightsaber, using wind to send him tumbling back to his starting position. 

He grins and shakes his head, charging for me again, and fails. Then again. And again. And again. Fail, fail, fail.

Finally he stops for a moment and pants, letting the air finally get to him.

"Well, let's begin the actual training with a combat remote."

I grab the floating ball and toss him the helmet, and he groans while putting it on.

Although training may be difficult and annoying now, it'll prove to be worth something.

After an hour of using the remote, I give him a break and tell him it's time to use the Force completely.

I start with simple objects. Rocks, metal scraps, a small chair. He easily goes through them all, so I eventually give him a table, a larger chair, and a weapons rack. He struggles a bit, but still gets through.

While we go for a small break before training again, I sigh to myself. He's just a Padawan.

But there's something about him that really sets him apart from all of the others. 

He's very strong with the Force. 

Oops. Sorry, I've been finishing school and preparing for piano recitals. I'll post often-er from now on. I hope.

Ariel~

Wind and dust whirl around me as I fly over the sandy dunes of Tatooine. Sand stings my face, flying at high speeds toward me. Zas's speeder is a good one, but he is a rather reckless driver. He has already embarassed me several times by almost flipping the speeder to show off. It must be admitted I screamed rather loudly. He, of course, laughed, but I saw absolutely nothing funny about my situation.  Mainly, my head was still whirling with the message I have to deliver to the Empire...

Sorry it's so short. Anyone have ideas about the message? 

Sorrysorrysorrytoptoptop!
