Ender's Guardian: Silver Knight (Page 3 of 8)

Kip heaves a sigh. "You always do have to make an entrance, Cat."

He bows to the students. "Well done. You may rejoin your squad.  There will be no training session tomorrow."

Turning to Cat, he grins. "They are getting much better. I'm glad you recruited them. A few more months and they will be full fledged Sith Hunters."

Tucking the tonfas into his belt he heads to the exit.

"Speaking of Hunters, Beran, the Qel Dor from intelligence, has brought a new matter to my attention. Several Jedi have been the targets of assassinations recently. They have been made to look like accidents, but I believe that a darkside cult is behind this, possibly even a Sith organization. I am organizing a first response team to follow a lead on Telos. I'll need you to be part of it."

George looked surprised, like he really didn't know what was she talking about - "I really think that we should discuss this in private"

George: Come to my ship, and we'll talk more

Be back to post later.
------------------------------

George: "I expect your arrival"

Takayashi cut the transmission and somehow looked relieved that it is over
-"That woman gives me the creeps", he said. Adama just nodded to that.
George thought for a second then started giving orders: "Riker, make arrangements for her arrival I want a official welcome. Mat I want you to escort her right after this little ceremony to our briefing room", at this point Mat started looking pale again, "What is it Mat?" George looked concerned, but Mat just waved off
- "Nahh, I'm okay Boss, really." he even smiled a little "It's just heat from my mission""
George wasn't assured but he continued: "And Adama tell our cook to make something special for our guest, this is going to be a long talk"
Everyone was silent at this point and suddenly Mat clapped his hands and started shouting: "Alright everyone, you have a job to do! C'mon! No time to waste! Our princess is going to be here soon!" The bridge deck looked like a market street with all the people going in and out.
George looked pleased as he looked at Mat finally being serious, and at Riker giving orders to a young officer whom George didn't know. He then went to Takayashi to tell him that he will be in his room preparing, and remind him to contact him when Lady Konah arrives at the briefing room. Comm officer just nodded cause he was busy relaying messages so George went to his room.
As he was walking through decks of his ship he saw a lot of Freedoms crew. Some of them wearing black uniforms, others were black-gray robes, meaning that they were Force Sensitive members of Se'en Khalar. He even saw a few of the Silver Guard. His personal bodygards. But all of them head a Red Eagle emblem on their right shoulder. Silver Guard had it even on the back of their robes.
He arrived at his quarters and went to toilet to refresh himself. He looked at himself in the mirror long. And he saw a face that he couldn't recognize. He looked much older than before. With his dark short heard and a barely visible beard, he looked somehow tough. There was this little scar aboce his right eyebrow. He picked up the tow and cleaned his face, and then went to his bed to rest a lil bit...

Kip rolls his eyes. "Yes I'm sure that you have been waiting for that. What I'm focused on right now is simply finding them first. After that we'll discuss locking you in a room with one. Although I can tell you I already feel sorry for whoever that will be."

"Anyway, we have intel that says their next target will likely be a master/padawan pair who have been working in the forests around Telos. Beran will be on the squad of course, since he brought this situation to light; I also wanted to give Jentress, that rookie Twi'lek girl, a shot at her first mission. We need two more; I assumed you would want to pick those."

"Well, as I said, it's your choice," Kip replies. "Have them ready in the next two hours."

"Oh and Cat...try not to fraternize too much."

Kip starts pulling off the training armor and weapons and puts them into the storage room. Then he puts on his black and silver armor, and conceals it under a final layer of plain black clothes. Strapping on his belt, he tucks in several hidden throwing knives and his guard shoto lightsabers.

Kip notified Beran and Jentress that they would be a part of the investigation squad. They all geared up, and were headed toward the hangers when they were noticed that there was a loud commotion.

"Oh, what now!" Kip mutters, striding towards the arena.

I Am Jedi

Kip and the others push through the crowd, some bystanders quickly moving aside to let the Grand Master through, others trying to squeeze forward themselves to get a better view. Kip finally manages his way to the front of the crowd, on the very edge of the dueling ring.

Raid attempts to lock his arm around Cat's neck, an effort to subdue her in a choke position. However, Cat easily manages to slip through his grasp, making her escape by dropping into a crouch and swinging her legs underneath him, catching Raid off guard. The Iridonian falls flat on his back.

Cat quickly stradles him, a playful attempt to pin him. She smiles. She loved a good fight. Espeicially with an audience. She leans forward until her face is hovering mere inches above his, her slender form pressing against his muscular one, his chest rising and falling with each deep breath.

"Give up yet, Raid? I do have other people who require my attention besides you..." She winks.

Raid grins, digging his ankles into the ground and arching his back, gaining the leverage he wants. He flips Cat over, pinning her to the ground beneath his body. "No surrender. Isn't that one of your little rules, Master?"

Cat tries one of her infamous escapes. Raid prevents it, pushing his body weight onto her. He grabs her hands, pinning her arms to the ground above her head. He chuckles when she tries to knee him in the crotch, her knee-cap slamming into his cup guard.

"Now, now, Cat. Try to be a good girl and play nice."

Cat smiles, dark fire in her eyes. "Oh, you know you love it when I'm bad."

Raid growls, a mixture of disapproval and eagerness. "Let's not start something we can't finish with an audience, Cat."

"Speak for yourself, Iridonian," she retorts, digging her ankles into the dirt much as Raid had. She uses the leverage to push her entire body against him, inticing the Iridonian.

Raid fishes for a quick reply but catches a glimpse of Kip out of the corner of his eye, the Grand Master's own disapproval extremely evident.
