Crisis

Gawain landed at the mansion on the back of his pet thestral. He got off and went inside. He said hi. It was all very awesome.

Crisis

"Hi, and all that good stuff. Look, Gawain," Alatariel said, barely bothering to turn around, "we need to go back to Esteë. That bad peoples are attacking, and we need help, because if you don't help, they're going to get a weapon to hold the entire universe in their power, and yada-yada-yada. Basic good-vs-evil plot. You know how those go. Anyway, can we load up and get back there in like the next twenty minutes? We have two battle fronts already formed and their kinda sparse."

Cameron said something else inspiring and fitting. Then they both waited for the various Force Users to comment.

~~

Neihudir led Cassandra, Charis, and the icicle-pop to where the crystal was so they could start doing their stuff.

Crisis

Gawain indicated he was familiar with the general plot of saving the universe from evil and left to go save the planet from doom and annihilation.

Cassandra beat people up. Or smashed things. Whichever.

Crisis in the Snow

Julia listened to the elf speak with perked attention. She knew little of what was happening, but it appeared that there was going to be a conflict and soldiers were needed. She looked down at her belt where her lightsaber was clipped. She was only a padawan, and hardly greatly experienced in battle, but she could held her ground fair enough. She took a breath, biting her lip and looking up at her master for the final call.

((OOC: Big Sis I'm gonna step in and play your character for just a bit. Please understand it was by the insistence of the great DT masters that I do it.)))

Master Shira looked toward Alatariel and said. "We shall accompany you and help you in the battle." her face showed a slight wisdom and confidence in her choice. She glanced down at her padadwan, and knew by Julia's expression that she would earnestly follow with no complaints or qualms.

Crisis

((OOC: Yes, we're just sketching this through to the end. Obviously open to backtracks and perfections of writing later, but we just want to close this story))

"Great!" Cameron exclaimed. "Now, I can take several on the dragon, and I'm sure Gawain can take some on his Thestral, and that will get us there faster than speeders."

And with that everyone jumped on their various mounts and headed back up the the caves, where they assumed their assigned positions with the elves against the Hittani.

~~

The men of Cââd showed up ready for battle, but incidentally missing their chief, Tram. He was a little burnt at the moment.

The Eberites and some elves faced off against them.

~~

The rest of the elves stood ready for the attack of the Hittani, and violently hoped the reinforcements would arrive soon.

~~

G9 got shown to the room the crystal was in and started playing with it.

~~

The force users get a nice arial view of the battlefields.

Crisis

Gawain found Kel, his apprentice. They were happy to see each other and got ready to fight whomever it was the elves drug them out there to fight.

Crisis in the Snow

Julia and her Master arrived at the battle location, ready, or at least as much as they could be for the very short time they were given. They hopped off there mode of transportation, and took up their positions with the elves.

Julia stood, flanked by her Master Shira and one elf. She took a deep breath, un-clipping her little used lightsaber from her belt. She felt the brush of the steady hand of her master against her shoulder, and almost smiled. The adrenaline of her first fight was pumping through her, and she heard the Hittani's charge. My the force be with use all! she though, hooking some of her honey hair behind her ear.

Master Shira also took out her weapon, calmly looking at the charging waves of enemies. "Stay focused." she whispered to Julia, setting her gaze.

There were a few breathless seconds as the foe came forward, then, the world seemed to slow and though in reality it was only a fraction of a second, it seemed to take several minutes for the elves and force users to clash with the Hittani. Julia ignited her lightsaber, and then felt herself plunging into the battle.

Master Shira did the same, summoning up her skills and experience and the force, as she fought.

Crisis

"GAWAIN!!!" Kel's happy shriek couldn't be contained in her small body. "I'm soo glad you're here." She did a small happy dance.

~~

The Hittani charged, the Sith demolition crew doing a quick number on a squad of elves, who happened to thin their numbers somewhat. Then they charged the Jedi.

~~

The men of Cââd charged too.

~~

G9 did something to the crystal that made a wave of power emit from it, slowly rolling away from the foursome to kill whatever purely evil creatures happened to lay in its path.

Crisis

And Gawain was really happy too and then the bad, bad men charged him and Gawain went into Human Salad Shooter mode, only the stuff getting shot was chunks of body parts, not salad-y things.

Crisis

And everyone went back to the Elven Town to party, and it was all good, and we can put more detail in in backtrack posts.

The End. For Now. See you all next story.

Crisis

And, as an afterthought, G-9 used the crystal to break the connection with the evil Vortex. So he was just a vortex now, and it was all good, and his former friends realized how awful the controlling Vortex had been and threw him off a cliff, where he crashed into ice shards below.

G-9 then smashed the crystal, much to the chagrin of the elves, so that no one could control him or his species ever again, and he and the rest of his species fled to the mountains to live there as pieces of rocks or species. Whichever worked best. They were very happy to be independent and not so hive-mindedish, and G-9 had friends again. It was great.

Charis was one of the key parts to smashing the crystal. She'd never quite forgiven it for crashing her ship. She still wasn't sure if she was a jedi or a sith, or what, but she got transport off planet and went home for some time just to think about life.

TWBTS

"On the contrary," said Rel, "I've been angry many times. It's just that I usually let it flow out of me, and I don't let it hurt others." He sighed and ran his hands over the joystick, now useless in hyperspace. "I should go apologize," He thought aloud.

"Oh," Kel said softly, looking down. "Wow."

She was quiet for a moment.

"Loosing Myra has been very hard for me, and I can only think it would be moreso for you," she began. "I can tell that neither of you are very happy about having to work together on this. Especially Meav. I think she fears you."

"Oh," Kel said softly, looking down. "Wow."

She was quiet for a moment.

"Loosing Myra has been very hard for me, and I can only think it would be moreso for you," she began. "I can tell that neither of you are very happy about having to work together on this. Especially Meav. I think she fears you."

"Fears me? Why?" Rel asked. The thought was confusing, and didn't seem to fit with what of Meav he knew. "I would be fine with the whole issue if she would just speak to me about it. It's like ignoring a Bantha in the middle of the room."

Rel did not usually speak this much, and fell silent for a moment or two. "I'm going to apologize." He told Kel, and got up to go in search of Meav.

Kel pursed her lips and watched Rel leave. Part of her wanted to follow him and see what happened, but the rest of her felt this would be best left to the adults. But then again...

"Oh, fudgemallows. Whatever." Kel sunk into her seat.

~~

Meav found her way into the kitchen, which had a nice odd shape to it--one where, as unsanitary as it might seem, she could sit on one counter and prop her feet on the other. After making herself a nice cuppa, she hopped up on the tile and settled in, slightly leaning forward, her arms and chin propped on her knees. After a few moments, she put her cup down and carefully unsnapped her wrist braces. The paper-white skin beneath them stood in sharp contrast to the much darker, heavily tanned skin of her hands and fore-arms. She massaged the area softly, and stared out into space.

Her reverie was shortly interrupted, however, as the door slid open and Rel cautiously stepped through. Meav jumped, sending her cup flying, as she turned to face the door and slid her hands behind her back, fumbling with the braces to put them back into place.

TWBTS

"I'm not here to attack you," Rel said as Meav fumbled for the braces. "I came to apologize for being unkind just now." He looked at her and felt a little bit awkward, but plowed ahead. "I keep reminding you of the past and being biting and sarcastic. I'm holding anger and hate towards you for an action that, while it hurt me, is now in the past."

He took a deep breath and spoke again, "I ask your forgiveness."
