Re: Open Terrain
Chaos.
Everywhere within the burning temple of the Jedi Order of Jabiim there was chaos. The rain, the lightning, the smoke from discharged explosives and the after effects of rubble made it all that one could do, to see clearly.
Mikaelian, Rosho and a few other Jedi Knights and Masters converged into the rear of the Temple. Much of it had already been destroyed. Before them were a seemingly endless sea of soldiers, outside they could hear the rolling thunder of re-inforcements sent in on tanks and other vehicles.
Rosho's face was splattered with the blood of the men he had killed that day in the name of defending himself, his Order, and his home. Mikaelian wondered if his own face looked the same.
"FIRE!"
Came the order from Jabiim's Forces and before long an explosion rocked the ground on which Mikaelian and his Jedi colleagues stood, and the walls that stood on either side of them soon started to quake. Rosho and a couple others advanced forward as to avoid being hit, and subsequently killed from, the debris that had started to fall from the ceiling. Mikaelian struggled to gain untrammeled vision and as he advanced, he felt a blow to his stomach.
At first he thought he was shot, but after the inital shock, Mikaelian knew it to be a kick and a very powerful one at that. He fell back a few steps and before he could come to his senses, a long black boot met with his face and sent him through what was left of the window behind him and outside into the muddy, rain saturated, ground.
The figure jumped through the hole where a once proud and beautifully crafted window stood and advanced towards Mikaelian. Before Mikaelian could call the Force to him for a counter attack, he felt a projected punch knock him in the face. This being was strong in the Force.
Finally, Mikaelian's eyes came into focus and from he could see the person before him was well over six and a half feet tall, wore a mask that completely covered his face and had a dark aura about him.
This darksider brought his red-in-hue saber down with such ferocity that when Mikaelian brought his orange blade up to defend, it took all the strength Mikaelian had left not to drop his own blade. The darksider before him was powerful.
The defense would prove to be useful for only a few seconds before Mikaelian would be sent cascading down a small muddy slope into a small catch pool filled with disgusting and ill-colored water.
Mikaelian's eyes went wide as he spied the darksider coming down towards him with such speed that in the brief second before Ashoka interjected to save him, Mikaelian thought for sure he would die on that day.
However, as mentioned before, Ashoka released a strong and previously undetected force push that sent the darksider on his back. Ashoka then reached for his lightsaber and ignited it. The green from Ashoka's blade with the red of the assailant's clashed in a spirited and fierce battle.
Mikaelian was quick to his feet and ran to aid his Grandmaster but was interrupted when a wave of blaster bolts came screaming towards him. After defending against them and bringing death to those who would try to bring death to him, Mikaelian turned his attention in the direction he last saw Ashoka and the darksider. He saw neither, and the battle continued around him...
Present Day:
*Mikaelian had started his day not unlike most others. Morning meditation, stretching and light exercise followed by the first meal of the day and then mid-day meditation.
In fact, that was where Mikaelian was before he was pulled from a deep trance whilst meditating on the will of the Force. The voice in his head, the presence he could feel through the Force, was something he had not heard nor felt in far too long.*
"Ashoka."
*Mikaelian said quietly under his breath. As quickly as his own aged body could bring him, Mikaelian was at the door of his house. The Jedi Master had to blink his eyes a few times as he saw Ashoka before him.*
"It has been far too long, Master Ashoka. I had thought you..."
