A meeting in the Dark....

While Ahsoka sat slightly shivering within the phantom sensations of death and darkness, Skywalker turned towards Komire. Simply staring at the Exhausted 'Jedi' as several thoughts were scrambling to order themselves within his mind. He was in such a stupor he didn't notice Rex coming up beside him, nor hear the hustle around the bridge as the Clone staff went about there business... all while making not so subtle glances over towards the Exhausted 'General', at least up until Rex put his hand on Skywalker's shoulder, slightly startling the Jedi from his thoughts.

Shaking his head to clear the messy blob of thoughts in his mind away, Skywalker turned towards his most trusted Officer, "Yes Rex, what is it?"

"General, sir," Rex was saying, a slightly uncomfortable look settling on his usually stoney appearance, "Is... are you and the Jedi Master, alright?"

Hearing his Captains, concerned form of tone, and the form of address that Komire had recieved from the man, Skywalker was perplexed, "what do you mean by that Rex? Heck, I dont Kriffing know what he just did?".

"sir, if you don't know, then that means you weren't part of...", as he paused the Jango fett clone shook his head in amazement, "...whatever he had done." Rex said, an almost 'Reverential' look filled his eyes as he looked at Komire whom of which was helped up by a pair of Medical Clones, " I could see it... all of it..."

"See what? Spit it out Rex." Skywalker said, earnestly curious at the thoughts of his friend.

"A war so vast it swallowed stars... sector fleets being decimated one, by one..." Rex took a long deep breath, "... and what appeared to be hundreds of 'Red lightsaber' wielding Jedi fighting other Jedi using multi-colored blades in the temple, and I saw Him... fighting over a dozen of those Jedi with such discipline, and skill, all while commanding flawlessly, what I could only speculate were ARC troopers..."

Anakin was spellbound as he listened to Rex tell of his 'Force vision' into the man's past, all while watching Ahsoka stand shakilly, and Komire slumped into a nearby clones grasp, the only telltale sign he was alive, being his rebreathers stark 'hiiisssss' as it operated for the man, and his shallow heart beat on the Medics packs that were currently being used to monitor his vitals.

Komire did not know of these visions, and thus was totally ignorant of them, but deep within the Void, Death personally spun this Elaborate tale, and altered some records in the Jedi archives to depict Komire as a talented, skilled, and powerful being that could rival a litteral 'Dozen Sith' by himself... as she did this, she slipped something into the "System" she gifted Komire, to activate when she wanted... a rather devious grin plastering her face, which was covered by a dark veil rather than Kylo Rens helmet. As she planned to make Komire's life rather 'Interesting'... starting with the young Togruta...

------------------------------------------------------------------

Waking up the next 'day', Zverian had a pounding headache. Although he had trained in the previously used ability under Death, it seemed much harder to use in the Starwars universe. At least according to what happened the previous day, and not to mention he lost almost an entire Cruiser worth of people in his first battle using Battle meditation, was rather alarming, and disappointing to him.

Waking up back in the Infirmary was also a less then wanted outcome, but after Komire pondered a bit about the different things happening compared to the training with Death, and Mother Nature, he could see this as a common outcome... especially if its believed that he was still under 'Carbonite Sickness'... or a form of it at least.

When Komire was released after a few checkups from Medical droids, and Clone troopers, Komire was slightly curious as to why the two Jedi he had met earlier were not present at all during this time, but figured they were following 'Republic Protocol' in reporting the situation to the Jedi Council, and perhaps Palpatine in the Senate.

Komire was since escorted by a pair of ARC troopers named 'Fives' and 'Echo' as they toured the ship. Seeing the schematic for the ship. and witnessing it for himself was two very different things in his opinion. Not to mention that Ahsoka also found their small group near the hanger bay, and had since been following along as well.

Komire answered as many questions as he avoided... which was quite a bit, since they were coming from the Togrutan apprentice. several hours pass as the entirety of the ship besides the crew quarters, and some 'Vitaly important' sections of the ship, as he wasnt someone the 'Republic' could trust completely at the moment.

The only saving grace Komire had was the fact of Ahsoka being far older then her Cartoonish counterpart from Earth. With the Togrutan being older, she asked far more meaningful questions... and some rather childish ones as well, but those weren't as prevalent. Komire even found another source of entertainment while the days passed touring the ship as they made their way back to Coruscant... giving false and confusing answers to the inquiries of his not so subtle 'Paparazzi' of the Padawan and Clone troopers.

Although he was having a good time with the company he found himself with, Komire knew he had to keep up appearances, and every night, he would study the new life Death had created for him by browsing through the new memories of the Old Republic, Mandalorians... which apparently he was connected too... and the old teachings and philosophy of the Je'dai.

After the rather "exciting" few days, the ships within Skywalker's small fleet came out of hyperspace a few light-seconds from Coruscant, and the damaged Venators and Acclimators that were in tow, were wisked away to a pair of planetary repair yards in the system, although many reports were made about the facility, and more crews were hence dispatched to study the base in greater detail than the previous search, there wasn't as much upheaval in the Republic due to finding a still living 'Je'dai' named Komire.

Everywhere Komire went Ahsoka followed, but that came to an early end one day as she was called to the temple to take a much needed reprieve from the war.

Komire was held under observation by military personnel, and of course, Skywalker. His strength 'gradually' returned naturally, and through his system, Komire managed to 'relearn' more Force abilities.

Said abilities all were ranging from Mechanical control, called Meca-dura, all the way up to full inates of the Force, such as : Force sense, and Force cognition, since the "System" was not much more than a limiter to allow him to experience the new life he now had. everything seemed to be going rather swimmingly.... until the bomb at the Jedi temple...

When Ahsoka was framed for the bombing Komire's temper threatened to burst. He had known the Girl for a short time, but feeling her alignment through the force, and his own experience back on Earth allowed him to know she couldnt ever cause something like this. As he had remembered the entire starwars storyline from the Clone Wars shows, he was confident in avoiding Ahsoka tragic fate to come at the machinations of whatever, or 'whomever' was behind this.

Not but a few hours after the bombing, Komire was escorted down to a Air-pad with a waiting LA-AT Gunship and a dozen clone troopers in blue stylized armor as escorts. The fly over was rather boring except for the sight of Coruscant itself.

The sight was breathtaking to Komire, and both a marvel, and disaster of engineering in his opinion. All it would take would be one well placed thermo-detinator, or maybe two, and several buildings would domino into one another, and more then likely kill millions, if what he could see was any indication of the population below him as he soared over the lines, and stacks of Air Traffic as well.

Witnessing the massive towers of the Jedi temple though, had Komire's mouth hanging open in amazement. thankfully he was wearing his mask, and kept his bodies straight bearing, otherwise he would have looked like a damnable tourist, instead of the powerful Je'dai he was trying to portray.

The Temple was utterly MASSIVE to Komire, and although they showed it in the movies in his past life, they just didnt quite get the actual scale right. At the entrance stood a platoon of Clones in formation sporting more blue painted armor, with several surrounding the place Komire guessed was their landing spot.

When the Gunship touched down, Komire exited first and walked a bit out from the ship slowly.

To the Gaurds present it looked like the new 'General' was sizing up the troops around him as his masked visage passed over them, and then up to the towering pillars that stood behind them.

Although there were several Jedi there to meet Komire, the most powerful Force user was none other then Yoda himself, as he floated along in his hover chair.

Komire looked over towards the Green alien, and did something that completely surprised the small Grandmaster... he was greeted in his very own, native tongue.

"Aloha Grandmaster, me he mea lā ua hele au i kahi lōʻihi loa, no ka mea ʻaʻohe mea aʻu e ʻike ai kamaʻāina."

[In Hawaiian (which is believed to be Yoda's origional language)]

(hello Grandmaster, i seem to have been away for far to long, as nothing i see is familiar.)

Many of the surrounding Jedi, and escorting Troopers glanced at one another in confusion until Master Yoda replied in a similar language as Komire.

"Aloha, a hui maikaʻi me kuʻu hoaaloha. ʻOiai ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke kōkua ma ke ʻano o ka kamaʻāina, e ʻae iaʻu e hoʻokipa iā ʻoe i ka Luakini."

(hello, and well met my friend. Although i cannot help in the manner of familiarity, allow me to welcome you to the Temple.)

It wasn't till later Komire was returned to the headquarters of the GAR stationed on Coruscant, with clenched fists after meeting a few stuck up Jedi, and a few overly panicking padawans; Even though he had a good opinion on Master Yoda, he was severely disappointed in what he saw of their Council. Even when he passed Bariss Offee in the halls, he could sense the lingering darkness surrounding her within the Force... how the "Mighty Council" couldn't... was a mystery to Komire.

Later that day, Komire left the base under the nose of the Jedi and the gaurds, and started his own search for the young girl who was so easily being tossed aside by a few of the Jedi Council... for slightly different reasons of course, but none the less they were set on abandoning Ahsoka to whatever 'Fate befell her'... two days pass untill he finds Ahsoka, who was way down in the lower realm of Coruscant... as he drops down to a busy street below him, he sees she was interrogating what looked to be, a woman dressed as a Bountyhunter...

Since Komire had been shielding himself through the Force in his search, the two didn't here him walk up after he had confirmed her identity from his memory.

"...then who would frame me, as well as take your lightsabers?" Ahsoka was asking the bountyhunter... a Night sister to be more precise.

Moving quietly, he approached the two, and only when he stoped almost ten feet from the pair, they started paying greater attention to their surroundings... only to notice a white robed Jedi donning heavy yet aged armor.

"who are you?" The Night sister asked, taking a defensive stance. hands reaching for her belt where a small Hold-out blaster... probably something taken from a club bouncer, or some rich Senators elite gaurd.

The only one of the two that didn't act out in a defensive way, at least visibly, was Ahsoka, "what are you doing here Master Komire?"

looking at the two girls, Komire tries to formulate a plan for the coming 'Task'... "Investigating, although... For me to see a dark Force wielder as your target on this night may seem interesting, it's quite a good move in my opinion..." using their momentary confusion to continue Komire said, "... however, I would like to know something from you Ahsoka, " Komire made his voice sterner to play along with his little 'charade', " Did you do it?"

Almost instantly Ahsoka said 'NO', and stood ridgedly as she defiantly stared at Komire's helmet, feeling an opresive feeling 'oozing' out of his covered face for a few seconds, a Ghostly visage seemed to surround The man as she continued to stare him down... and from the dark lenses of the helmet, Ahsoka could swear on the Force, that she could see a malevolent red glow threatening to burst out.

Terror slowly crept up her spine as she continued to look at Komire, and as she was about to make a run for it with Ventris, Komire's 'opresive' aura receded, and he walked towards them calmly saying "then let's find the one resposible"

In Ahsoka's confusion, she couldnt help but ask...

"That's it? you believe me, just from that?"

Komire couldnt help but chuckle at the Padawans confusion, "Not everything is at it seems with but a glance young one, nothing is ever as it seems."

Both girls glanced at each other... seeing that they both were slightly trembling at the previous events, they nodded slightly at each other, a small resolute gaze between them saying all that need be. Before long they were turning towards Komire again... minutes passed as they told him of their theories and suspects, and just as Komire was about to say his own theories, an alert through his senses stops him... He turns around suddenly, stunning both Ahsoka and Ventris by drawing his saber hilts joining them together...

" We have company," Komire says, just as a violet, and a midnight black blade shrouded in a white corona Hissed to life, "Run, I'll catch up with you around the outskirts of the temple, if my guess is correct, from your stories I think I know who the culprit is."

Komire stood where he was, as the girls ran, and from the area that was previously behind him, a squad of Clone troopers rounded the corner.... blasters at the ready... and they weren't set to stun...

Seeing an armed Jedi facing them down as the squadron rounded the corner, the clones went into a small fireing line position... first row kneeling, while the second row staggered behind them... they then shouted at Komire to drop his weapon... though no one moved an inch, the distinct hum of the lightsaber, and the patter of footsteps, and voices, on the upper decks the only tell tale signs of life at the moment within the belly of Coruscant... until a single clone droped his steadying hand from his blaster slowly, all while keeping the weapon pointed at Komire. Raising his hand to his helmets ear piece, the Clone captain spoke...

"Sir we found someone dressed like the 'Master Komire' you told us about, and he doesn't look to friendly at the moment" the clone wearing red guard captain colors said into his com.

"lower your weapons you must, attack if provoked, he will," said a voice in broken Basic through his headset, one sounding perturbed at the new information. Although Yoda didnt know much about their newest guest, he at least was a good judge for character... and the 'Je'dai' from their meeting, was definitely a shrewd, and ruthless person.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Komire faced off against the Clones, and held his now 'duel' bladed lightsaber in a Bo-Jutsu ready stance, ready for anything... A thought crosses his mind...

"If you want me to stand down soldier, tell me why you eminate such a Dark energy, one that you and your brothers beside you, share."

'HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, let Palpatine brood on that...' Komire thought to himself.

The clones didn't understand what Komire had said, but unknown to anyone at the time, Komire knew that Palpatine had probably ordered Barriss Offee to frame Ahsoka to distance her from Skywalker in the first place.... or at least that was his theory... and based on his evidence, and the sequence of events that had transpired till now, he tried a little gamble to see if the clone guards would 'report' what he had said in this incounter... little did he know what he would also set the Jedi into motion... with actions to gleam far more indepth knowledge on this 'dark energy'... an investigation that would be put in place by the Jedi whom were still on open comms at the time... and even inquiries from clone to clone, bringing back the discussion of Tupp...

And what would later have been Fives of the 501st who had not long after this event, been trying to convince the Jedi Skywalker of an insidious plot against the republic in the original Timeline... Who had been gunned down by the very same captain before Komire now if his memories were to be believed with the unique markings upon his armor... but not if komire had anything to say about it... No, not on his watch... Komire was not letting that series of events play out, and he sure as heck wasnt gonna give " ol' Palpy ' an easy time... especially since Komire was to appear before him in a weeks time.
