(ch. 8)New path???

Komire later deactivated his blades only when the clones lowered their own weapons, after a LONG debate back and forth on "whom was responsible for what". giving enough time for the two fleeing girls to lose the clone persuers that weren't held up by Komire at the time.

Meanwhile, Skywalker wasn't sitting idle either in the Jedi temple and, along with Captain Rex, had done their own investigation; But what they believe to have discovered shocked the once proud Jedi, and even the Sentinel behind them sent to accompany the two, although it was hidden rather efficiently by his mask... (although it WAS approved by the temple, a Jedi Sentinel was assigned to act as a third party for the two, to be sure their wasn't some "strange events" behind the scenes... WOW, SO TRUSTING... 😑). when the two girls, Ahsoka and Ventress, had lost the pursuers, they seemed to just so happen to run headlong into Skywalker and his group. with the help of the Sentinel, and the fact that Ventress voluntarily surrendered herself to prove her claims of not being the bomber, they make their way back to the temple, to see a rather bored Komire SURROUNDED by the Jedi council members, a half dozen Jedi knights, and about a dozen Clone A.R.C. troopers, which all had their weapons held and ready for anything to happen... there was even a repeating blaster turret aimed in Komire's direction aswell.

"Finnaly, took you long enough... honestly I'm sick of these guys, can we go solve this case already?" Komire said rather 'Excitedly' upon seeing Skywalker and Ahsoka.

with the council members and A.R.C. troopers accompanying them, (p.s. there are only Kit Fisto, Ki Adi Mundi, Mace Windu, Aayla Secura, and Master Yoda, whom was floating around in a small hover chair from the Jedi council on the planet of Coruscant at this time.) they made their way towards a small residential hall... mainly to the confusion of the council members.

Stopping before one closed door, Komire turns to Skywalker, "you want the honors Padawan?"

"very much, but again I am not a Padawan", Skywalker said with his left eye twitching slightly in irritation; But behind that annoyed facadé, was a grateful man, that valued the new Jedi before him than most of the council members.... although he wasn't sure if it was because of Komire s personality being cold and efficient, or the fact that he was rather eccentric at odd times, making him seem MORE real than most if not all the Jedi within the order... excluding Obi-wan of course...

Komire merely stood back a few dozen meters, and waited with all the anxiously twitching Jedi, and their Clone securities. not long after entering, Skywalker and Barris Offee emerged with lightsabers drawn, and in full combat... and within Barris's hands were Ventress' stolen lightsabers... the revelation stunned the viewing audience of Jedi, and even the clones were unsure if they were ment to act at this point or not.

Komire merely looked at the fight that progressed down the hall, through a window, and down to a saber training field. sighing heavily, he draws his gold and silver hilt from his waist, and walked towards the window, jumping down directly between the two dueling force users.

with a Snap-hiss of his blade that gave a deep THRUUUM, almost simmiler in tone to a SUPRESSED Turbo-Laser, Komire stood between the younger Barris and the elder Skywalker, and struck a rather imposing figure for all watching. As the two seemingly forgot that their was people around them, they didn't think anyone would have immediately broken apart their duel... one that Barris was hoping would ellivate her worth in her dark masters mind if he had come to learn of these events...

"Rather disappointing performance for a Sith wanna-be, Barris Offee..." Komire says as he turns his helmets visor towards the young girl,"... I have fought even Darth Revan himself, and what you have shown is but teachings of Sith shocktroopers... nothing more than trash skills of the Dark side of the force, is that all you have to show after abandoning your past? (sigh)... pathetic...."

As everyone had their senses enhanced through the Force, even the Council members above were shocked... and through these small, but rather powerful words, Komire's SYSTEM had sent him another alert involving his current objective...

--- SSS CLASS QUEST CREATED, CALCULATING TASKS...---

... after reading the first part of the quest, an evil grin slowly grew on his face...behind the helmet where no one could see.

bringing his lightsaber up in a similar poise to the "Ring Wraiths" from The Lord of the Rings, Komire turns slowly towards Barris

taking slow methodical steps towards her, he slowly exerted pressure through the Force upon her while he walked...

---DING* QUEST "THE REFORMATION" HAS BEEN ADDED----

--- THE REFORMATION: USE BARRIS OFFEE AS AN EXAMPLE OF 'HARSH' DISCIPLINE, "SIDE QUEST--- REFORM BARISS OFFEE' S VIEW ON THE FORCE AND RECREATE THE SENTINAL FORCE'S OF THE JEDI ORDER"..... BONUS: *REFORM THE IDEOLOGY OF THE JEDI ORDER*----

•REWARDS ARE BASED ON QUALITY OF CHANGES, OR REFORMS•

---DING* CALCULATING QUESTS FOR IDENTITY: AHSOKA TANO----

'this is gonna be fun', Zverian thought to himself, only to shut the window before the new QUEST involving Ahsoka was completed... after all, he had a show to put on, and he can find out about that later.

Not many people watching understood the significance of Zverian's pose or understand it's significance, but when Bariss lunged at him, he gracefully twisted the blade in his hands, performing an elegant parry and block, back to back. Bariss was getting ever MORE agitated as time passed, because no mater how she struck, she was blocked, parried, countered, and ultimately overshadowed in pure lightsaber play.

Up in the overveiwing Jedi council, Master Yoda and Mace Windu's expressions both hardened, and darkened... it may not be well known, but Bariss was a padawan expected to take the Jedi knight trials soon. To see her as the traitor was greatly disturbing to them. However, the young Ahsoka Tano watched on, unable to take her eyes from the graceful and domanearing lightsaber play of the ancient Jedi Komire, even if she was currently cuffed due to previous suspicion.

But unknown to everyone present, master Yoda was MORE troubled by the revelation that Komire had let slip. Darth Revan was one of the greatest blackspot on the Jedi Order, as far as traitors to the order were concerned, and Komire was said to have fought the ancient Jedi turned Sith Lord. this revelation greatly bothered the small green Grandmaster. Because that would mean that this lost Jedi would hence be the true Grandmaster of the order, predating Yoda himself by several milenia.

Down on the training field, the Jedi masters that had been teaching the younglings stared in awe at Komire's bladework. the Younglings however, were baffled...many of them thought...'was this a demonstration'.... and the rest just stared blankly at the two dueling. however there was one master that stood to the side, enraptured by the swordplay used. and mere moments after the deathly battle began, he went into an enlightened trance... the dancing blades seemingly hypnotising him...
