<div align="center">(http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr81/rspake2064_1999/extras/Elliquiy/SW_Dark_Times-logo.gif)</div><br/><br/><strong>During the closing days of the <em>Clone Wars</em>, four days prior to the Issue of <em>Order 66</em></strong><br/><br/>Val-EL watched in horror as Darth Ravenous cut down the security guards that had been assigned to guard the landing platform. Val-EL tried not to grit his teeth, for he could hear Master Dooku’s calm and authoritative voice telling him that they where doing their job, and that it was now time for him to do his. With a silent nod to himself Val-EL realized his master was right and looked over towards the rest of his teammates and gave them a grim nod. He knew what he had to do. Of all of his friends only he and Sia-Lan Wezz would have any hopes of a chance against this kind of foe. And unfortunately, Sia-Lan wasn’t really up to a fight right now.<br/><br/>“Get back to the Knight Errant and get the Hell out of here, you have got to get the evidence back to Courscant no matter what.” Val-EL said grimly as he slipped off his dark brown cloak and let it puddle around his feet, leaving him wearing his khaki Jedi robes and his reddish brown Jedi field boots. “I’ll hold him as long as I am able... May the Force be with you my friends. My the Force be with you always.”<br/><br/>Without saying another word, Val-EL mustered up the Force around himself and leapt form the platform they where on and easily cleared the distance between platforms and continued to bounce form platform to platform to meet the Sith Warrior in combat to give his friends the time they needed to get to the Knight Errant. And hopefully to get back to Courscant with the evidence they had just uncovered concerning the mysteries surrounding Sith ever since they made their reappearance during the Battle of Naboo.<br/><br/>Val-EL’s artificial left hand tingled slightly at the thoughts of the Battle of Naboo as it normally did when his thoughts went back to that day almost six years ago when he and Rann I-Kanu had stood up against Darth Maul alongside Masters Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Val-EL remembered his friend fondly, and hoped that when he to became one with the Force it would be as with as much dignity as his friend had when Darth Maul had killed him.<br/><br/>Val-EL drew his lightsabre and ignited the green blade as he gracefully landed on the same platform where Darth Ravenous stood. Val-EL centered himself and stood to his full height and looked directly into the Sith Warrior’s eyes. Val-EL’s khaki Jedi robes stood as a silent testament to who and what he was, he gingerly stepped over the bodies of the fallen security guards as he approached his opponent. Val-El looked down and remembered joking with a few of these men earlier in the day. Talking with them about their hopes and dreams for the future, their fears for the present.<br/><br/>“It’s about time one of you Jedi finally showed up,” Darth Ravenous taunted with a brutal smile. His long bone white hair was pulled back in a topnot that was tied off with a blood-red thong. He looked extremely intimidating in his black and red Sith robes that did nothing to hide his extra height. “I was just running out of Guards to kill...”<br/><br/>“Well, I really didn’t want to disappoint you sir.” Val-EL said as he saluted his erstwhile foe as Master Dooku had taught him. A Jedi is a gentleman first and foremost and must always act the part of the gentleman. Even when the only person whom would benefit form such manners is totally undeserving. Such as his current foe, the Sith Warrior Darth Ravenous.<br/><br/>“Eh... Sir,” Darth Ravenous said with a sneer. “I like that... You’ll be saying a lot more than just that before I am done here today. You will beg for release Jedi.”<br/><br/>“We shall see sir,” Val-EL said as he took his standard starting position and started to prepare for combat, and silently thanked his maker that his Master had taught him Form II lightsabre combat. “We shall see.”<br/><br/>Darth Ravenous was taken aback for a moment as he faced off against this strange Jedi that stood before him. His lightsabre bore a green blade marking him as a Consular, not a Guardian. He was a diplomat, not a warrior. Could this mans’ false bravado be more? Of course not... He was nothing to him, for he had the Dark Side as his ally. Darth Ravenous sloppily returned Val-EL’s elegant salute and then launched himself at the Jedi with a ferocious roar that instigated their lightsabre duel.<br/><br/>The last time Val-EL fought a fully trained Sith Warrior had been six years ago in the Theed Hanger against Darth Maul, and he had only survived that battle through a stroke of good luck that had even in victory cost him his left hand, and the life of his friend Rann I-Kanu. And the chances that he would succeed against this foe was not something he wished to contemplate. Especially not when he was fighting him.<br/><br/>Val-El effortlessly parried the ferocious onslaught of Darth Ravenous’ crimson lightsabre blade much to his own astonishment as it was to his advisory. ‘Master Dooku’s lessons are paying off...’ Val-EL thought as he turned the tables on his opponent and used his excellent form and finesse to turn the tables on the Sith Warrior whom seemed to favour nothing more than brute strength in his aggressive style of fighting.<br/><br/>Val-EL was thankful that Master Dooku had continued to train him in Form II, even after he had successfully passed his trails and entered the Knighthood... The hours of sparing with his Master was paying off. For Darth Ravenous was strong and aggressive, but his fighting style left a lot to be desired. It would work amazingly well against anyone who did not specialize in combat against another foe equipped with a ligthsabre... Unfortunately, that meant the majority of the Jedi Order whom had moved away form training to fight against foes whom where equipped to engage in a lightsabre duel just like this.<br/><br/>Their lightsabres had become a ferocious series of blurs as they fought. Their moves and countermoves blended into one anther as they both called upon the Force to enhance their own unique capabilities. Even with the assistance of the Force it all boiled down to Darth Ravenous’ strength versus Val-EL’s finesse...<br/><br/>Val-EL dropped and swept his lightsabre across Darth Ravenous’ legs, catching him just above his knees. Val-EL’s green blade sliced through Darth Ravenous’ legs without any real effort, cauterizing the wound as the lightsabre severed them. Darth Ravenous hollowed in pain as he realized what Val-EL had just done, and watched in horror as Val-EL followed his critical success with bringing his lightsabre around with another flourishing manuvere that removed Darth Ravenous’ right arm just below his elbow, sending his own lightsabre tumbling away along with his hand still clutching it tightly.<br/><br/>Val-EL looked down at his vanquished foe and tried to catch his breath and regain his composure. He couldn’t believe that he had done it. That he had actually defeated the Sith Warrior that had hunted down and killed so many other Jedi during the past three months. Shaking his head he brought himself back to the here and now as Master Dooku had always taught him.<br/><br/>Val-EL looked down and watched as Darth Ravenous started to drag himself towards where his arm and lightsabre had fallen. Val-El could easily feel Darth Ravenous’ hatred flow, even without using his connection to the force Val-EL could feel the man’s utter hatred. It was palatable and left a horrendous taste in his mouth, and it sickened him.<br/><br/>“Let go of your hate,” Val-EL said softly as he held out his hand and used the force to grab his fallen foes lightsabre and bring it directly to him. “Hatred and fear fade over time. Their power is fleeting my friend. For they are not eternal. They always fade for it is impossible to maintain that level of hatred. But love though... Love is eternal. Love exists and even if just a single ember of Love exists it will flourish and grow into a massive bonfire when given the chance. For even after those whom you have loved are long gone, the love that you had felt for them will still there. And each time you think of them that love grows and embraces you. For it’s always there. For love cannot be killed, for it simply can not die. No matter how hard you try, you can not kill Love. Nor can you ignore it.”<br/><br/>“To hell with you!” Darth Ravenous screamed through gritted teeth. “The darkside is where the real power lies... Anything else is just a mere illusion”<br/><br/>“If it was so powerful,” Val-EL said softly shaking his head sadly. “Why does is it not bringing you the serenity you need to focus upon the Force in this, your time of need? Instead it’s feeding upon your pain, your hatred, your fear. It’s consuming you... Even if I do not finish this, kill you myself... The Darkside will kill you. The power it provides you is the real illusion. Can’t you see that? That it’s using you? Consuming you?”<br/><br/>“The Hell you say!” Darth Ravenous spat. “The Darkside is power... It is power beyond your wildest imagination Jedi!”<br/><br/>With a sigh Val-EL knew he wouldn’t be able to convenience Darth Ravenous of anything other than what the Sith Warrior already excepted as reality. “Reality is what we make of it,” Val-EL said quoting his Master. “I had never really knew what Master Dooku was trying to teach me when he said that.... But now I know.”<br/><br/>Val-EL looked down at the defeated Sith Warrior and drew his Blaster pistol and set it to stun before firing it point blank into his fallen foes chest. His eyes never left those of Darth Ravenous... Not for a second. Val-EL felt he owed him that much of a courtesy. “Now it is over...” Val-EL said shaking his head as he looked up and saw that his friends had not abandoned him as he had ordered them. Instead he watched as they approached with a specially prepared Bacta tray that they where to put Darth Ravenous into, in hopes of stabilizing him for the long journey to the Jedi Temple on Courscant. And to the chambers of the Jedi Council where he would be questioned by the Council members themselves.<br/><br/>“That’s two now...” Sia-Lan Wezz said with a wiry grin.<br/><br/>“Huh?” Val-EL asked looking at his old friend. “What do you mean?”<br/><br/>“That’s two Sith you’ve killed who should have killed you,” she said seriously. “Face it Val-EL, you’re more than just a lawman now. You’re a weapons master... You have the all of the makings to be one of the best. Master Dooku and Qui-Gon Jinn have said as much...”<br/><br/>“They are just saying that Sia-Lan,” Val-EL said blushing. “I have along way to go before I am that proficient...”<br/><br/>“Even Master Windu sees it Val,” Sia-Lan said touching Val-EL’s artificial left hand. Her fingers gently stroked the heavy leather gauntlet that he wore to protect it form the elements when he was operating out in the field. “Anakin Skywalker might be the Chosen One to bring ‘balance to the Force’... But we also have our strengths. I am an excellent swordswoman, and you are an amazing lawman who always get’s his mark.”<br/><br/>“But each of us has our place in the universe,” Sai-Lan said. “Don’t let yourself be blinded by modesty Val-EL, you are something else. You are something special, even if you don’t see it yet. You have the makings to become one of the greatest Jedi in the history of the Order...”<br/><br/>Val-El looked at his friend and tried to smile. “I’m only great because those around me make me push harder to be great.”<br/><br/>Sia-Lan Wezz smiled brightly and laughed as she shook her head. “I really have to give it to Master Dooku. His training and instruction has really turned you into one of the most noble and courteous men I have ever met. Where is the irreverent and sarcastic young man who stood by me during the Invasion of Theed? The man who when he came face-to-face with Darth Maul said... and I quote ‘Aw Hell No...’ as he drew his lightsabre and prepared himself to fight. And not only fought a Dark Lord of the Sith, but kept his head about him enough to seal the planed escape route through the Theed Power Generator facility?”<br/><br/>“I’m still here Sia-Lan,” Val-EL said smiling. “I’ve just grown up.”<br/><br/>“I know,” she said patting him on the back. “The Council has finally decided to allow you to take a Padawan when we get to the Jedi Academy on Naboo. Let’s get going they’ve got our prisoner locked down and are heading back to the Knight Errant already.”<br/><br/>Val-EL looked at his friend with a mischievous look in his eye. “I’ll race you...”<br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Val-EL Hiraaguun, <em>Jedi Knight Sentinel</em></strong>: adult Human male Jedi Consular 4/Jedi Investigator 3/Jedi Weapon Master 1 (8th Level); Init: +8 (+4 Dex, +4 Bonus); Def: 21 (+4 Dex, +7 Class); Spd: 10m; VP/WP: 66/12; Atk: +6, +10/+5 or +6/+6/+1 ranged (3d6, Blaster Pistol), +12/+7 melee * (3d8+1, crit 19-20, Lightsaber), +7/+2 melee (+2+1, Combat Gloves), +7/+2 melee (1d4+1, crit 20, punch); SQ: +2 dodge bonus to Defense when weilding a Lightsaber, Contacts (x1), Deflect (Attack -4, Defense +3), Favor +1, Increase Lightsaber damage +1d8, Profile, Target bonus +2; SV: Fort +8, Ref +9, Will +9; SZ: M; FP: 10; Rep: +3; Attr: Str 12 (+1), Dex 18 (+4), Con 12 (+1), Int 16 (+3), Wis 14 (+2), Cha 14 (+2).<br/><strong>Equipment</strong>: 20000 credits, Blaster pistol, a pair of reddish brown combat gloves, a khaki all-temperature cloak (+2 to Fortitude saves made to resist severe weather), Lightsaber w/a yellow blade, Jedi Robes (a light khaki knee-length tabard, a light khaki knee-length outer tunic, a white undershirt, a light khaki inner tunic, a light tan obi, a pair of light khaki pants, a pair of reddish brown Jedi field boots), a reddish brown Jedi Utility Belt (Contains: 3 days rations, a Medpac, a Tool kit, a Power pack, an Energy Cell, a Glow rod, a Comlink, an Aqua Breather, a pair of Electrobinoculars, a grappling hook & line, a SoroSuub Corporation Imagecaster, and a couple of empty pouches), an Industrial Automation Marksman-H Combat Training Remote, a training Lightsabre w/a white blade, Datacard w/ Program, DataPad (+2 computer bonus on Intelligence checks relating to Computer Use checks involving downloading, with related datacards +2 bonus to Knowledge checks), the<em>Knight Errant </em>(J-Type 327 Nubian Transport).<br/>*<em>Val-EL Hiraaguun has constructed his own Lightsaber</em>.<br/><strong>Skills</strong>: Bluff +3 (+2 Cha, +1 ranks), Computer Use +4 (+3 Int, +1 ranks), Craft: lightsabre +8 (+3 Int, +5 ranks), Diplomacy +6 (+2 Cha, +4 ranks), Gather Information +8 (+2 Cha, +6 ranks), Intimidate +6 (+2 Cha, +4 ranks), Knowledge: Galactic Affairs & Politics +6 (+3 Int, +3 ranks), Knowledge: Jedi Lore +6 (+3 Int, +3 ranks), Knowledge: Streetwise +6 (+3 Int, +3 ranks), Pilot +9 (+4 Dex, +5 ranks), Profession: Jedi +10 (+2 Wis, +8 ranks), Read/Write: Basic, Read/Write: High Galactic, Read/Write: Old Galacitc, Search +8 (+3 Int, +3 ranks, +2 misc), Sense Motive +10 (+2 Wis, +6 ranks, +2 misc), Speak: Basic, Speak: High Galactic, Speak: Huttesse (Understand only), Speak: Old Galactic, Speak: Shyriiwook (Understand Only), Spot +6 (+2 Wis, +4 ranks), Tumble +6 (+4 Dex, +2 ranks).<br/><strong>Force Skills</strong>: Affect Mind +10 (+2 Cha, +8 ranks), Battlemind +10 (+1 Con, +9 ranks), Enhance Ability +8 (+1 Con, +7 ranks), Enhance Senses +6 (+2 Wis, +4 ranks), Force Defense +8 (+2 Cha, +6 ranks), Heal Self +6 (+2 Cha, +4 ranks), Move Object +10 (+3 Int, +7 ranks), See Force +6 (+2 Wis, +4 ranks), Telepathy +6 (+2 Wis, +4 ranks).<br/><strong>Feats</strong>: Combat Expertise, Exotic Weapon Proficiency (lightsaber), Force-Sensitive, Improved Initiative, Martial Arts, Sharp-eyed, Starship Operation (starfighter, space transport), Weapon Finesse (Lightsaber), Weapon Focus (Lightsaber), Weapons Group Proficiency (blaster pistols, simple weapons).<br/><strong>Force Feats</strong>: Alter, Control, Lightsaber Defense, Sense.<br/><strong>A Quote</strong>: "Please master, if you honestly where looking to me to try and convenience you to follow the decision of the Jedi Council on this or any other matter...
