it took them a few days to get back to Coruscant but they made it Jinta doesn't exactly know what he will tell the Council when they finally go in front of them the mission was somewhat of a success Ben Joreth is back but with the loss of Jet Sumner where does the direction of the Jedi Council go on from here as the shuttle lands at the floor hanger of the Jedi Temple the engines powering down and the Ramp opening and lowers down as it hits the deck plating with a slam Jinta turns to Tiverian and Ben Joreth who are on the floor together Reyne is meditating on a seat and he turns to his far left to see Trenton sitting in a corner with a holocron in his hand his eyes closed...
Jinta closes his cloak slightly and then flips his hood completely over his head as he walks out and is met by a few officers he only shakes his head to them as he leaves the hanger to head directly for the Jedi Council for the Debriefing which will begin in a few hours he has had his rest he wonders though what will the council do about a new head of the Jedi Council will they name him the head by rights it should be him he has lived alot longer then anyone he has been able to stay alive but theirs something more he didn't always act like a true Jedi he was a politician for several years chances are he wont be the first chair...
As he heads for the Council Chambers he is met right off the bat by Damion Scott he looks at him with his eyes and shakes his head as the two mingle about the mission he leans up against the wall and says only a few words crossing his arms and looking at his friend who should have come with them to Kessel...
"you know we would have needed you on this last trip"...
"Kessel was barren,and it was a bit of a trap but you will hear more at the meeting"...
he shakes his friends hand and then leaves the corridor as he enters a small room it a meditation room a single one for him to simple rest up to contain his thoughts for the debriefing to allow the death and the loss of Jet Sumner not to bring tears to his fr-ailing eyes his complexion has gotten older on this trip alone perhaps he may only have twenty years left for mission and assignments perhaps he should seek into himself leave the order and train complete users of the force his style of training perhaps to open up a new academy with the young but powerful Trenton Vinh...
But it doesn't matter now that can happen at anytime in the next few years perhaps when the war between all the factions are gone wasted destroyed when finally the galaxy is alone at peace he stands up from the kneeling position and walks out of the small room he is in and heads for the Council chambers as it is almost time for the debriefing making his way their he feels a bit uneasy heading into a chamber without seeing Jet Sumner but who killed him and how was he not able to feel his presence his pain of death as he enters the elevator and it takes him up the spire he thinks about it carefully until the door opens and he steps out unsure of what the Council will have to say he walks a short distance and enters the council chambers their in the middle is the holographic projector and the council seats he notices the seat he really should be in the one that Jet was sitting in but he cant hope for something that will not come to easily...
Jinta then takes a moment before sitting in his chair as he waits for the others like Dagon,Damion,San and the other members that make up the Jedi Council this debriefing will not be for the faint of heart their will be some tough questions that lie ahead and if they are not answered correctly it could mean exile for someone who he calls a friend but he will have to wait and see... |

Lucien steps fourth from a different doorway he notices jinta sitting in his chair he wonders how or why he is back from kessel he feels the force and then realizes that very reason Jet is dead killed by someone he trusted he wonders if this is Jinta why else would he be the first one back and in the council chambers ready for the debriefing he also wonders where the rest of the strike team is like Reyne,tiv,Ben,Trenton are why would jinta come into this council without the rest and their had better be a good reason for his arrival here and now as he then takes his seat never once taking his eyes off of jinta jidan he will have to wait for the others to show up and then this debriefing will take place he wants to especially know why they all came back but Jet had died he wants to know who was behind the killing.

Dagon and Aundria Fenix, San Xaan, Reyne Grakin, and the rest of the Jedi Council walked into the Council Chambers and took their respective seats.
San, the most prominent member of the Jedi Council due to Jet's death, spoke, "Although the Mission on Kessel was a success, there seemed to be more problems than achievements."
San looked over to the entrance of the Council Chambers as Trenton and Ben and Tiverion Joreth walked into the debriefing.
San spoke, "Master Vihn, now we may formally begin. The death of Jet Sumner has been a tragic blow to the Jedi Order as a whole, but an especially large one to you as well. To lose such a great Master and a Teacher is a tragedy."
A few seats over, Dagon Fenix cleared his throat and nodded, "right now though, we have bigger problems. As you may have seen in your trip down to Coruscant there is a Mandalorian Fleet orbiting the planet demanding the release of Orla Orade, the Mandalorian who my son uhm..." Dagon struggled for the correct word, "acquired information from on the Yuuzhan Vong. They want her returned to them or they are threatening to bombard the Senate Plaza. Also, Roth has left the Jedi Order, this is perhaps the most imminent threat to the Jedi Order as well as the Republic, Roth is currently the most dangerous man in the galaxy and we all know the depths of his power, equal to that of Master Vihn. The Council as a whole must decide waht to do about the Mandalorian Threat and how to deal with my Rogue son."
San nodded, "yes that will be discussed, but first we must learn what happened on Kessel." San looked Trenton in his eyes and asked, "Trenton, you start, what happened on kessel and how did Jet die?"

As the Shuttle came out of Hyperspace, Trenton eyed the fleet orbiting Coruscant wearily. It was concentrated over an area nearby where the temple was located...
Trenton could not discern who the fleet belonged to, until he saw the large Jaing skull emblem on the hull of one of the cruisers.
Trent swallowed, wondering what had happened in the short time he had been away.
He still had not heard from Roth...which worried him only slightly. Chances are his friend was fine.
In less than an hour he was awaiting the council's summons, sitting beside Tiverian and Ben while the Council went over some final issues before calling them in.
Finally, they were sent in. Ben and Tiv stood slightly behind Trenton, looking nervous and forlorn. The loss of Jet was still hitting them hard, it would be quite some time before they recovered fully.
San asked Trenton what happened, and Trent relayed the events,
"We arrived on Kessel after we sensed a strong Dark Force energy in a cave. When we landed, our shuttle was disabled by hidden ion cannons.
We moved into the cave, which turned out to be part of a large mining tunnel that wove through Kessel.
We boarded a mining cart, but were separated by a large steel beam hitting the track. Reyne and Tiverian were thrown to the ground, Jet and I sent into different tunnels. I cannot say what happened to Master Reyne and Tiverian...I was not present..."
Tiverian piped in, "A Sith Lord attacked us."
Murmurs arose in the room: "The Sith?" "It Cannot be..."
Trent nodded, "We can confirm that the Sith have reemerged from hiding."
San cut Trent off, "Finish what you were saying, Tiverian."
Tiv went on, "The Sith came flying out of nowhere. He knocked my breath mask off, so I had to go find it.." He blushed here, seeming embarrassed to have had to rely on the device, but continued, "Master Grakin fought the Sith, but sustained several injures. I managed to return to the fight in time to stop the Sith from killing Master Grakin, and knocked the Sith Lord out temporarily."
Dagon asked, "How did you do this?"
Tiverian said, "I calmed down and realized I didn't need the breathing device. I ran over to where they were fighting...on a rock outcropping surrounded by this ancient, stagnant water. I used The Force to make a large wave that carried the Sith away from Master Grakin and caused him to collide with a wall. However, while I helped Master Grakin with first aid, the Sith Lord slipped away."
Trent added, "The Sith Lord Tiverian fought, I can confirm to be Raeph Sunder."
Aundria Fenix nodded, "He is one of the Sith we have been aware of for quite some time."
Trent nodded, "Of course. As I was saying, my cart took me down several tunnels until it deposited me in a small chamber. In the chamber was an...unknown Sith Lord, that told me he wished to speak with me."
Aundria asked, "What did he or she wish to speak about?"
Trenton sighed, "I do not know. At that moment, Jet stormed in and attacked the Sith Lord. Jet turned to me and accused me of being a Sith, then threw me against a wall. He was murdered by the Sith Lord before I could do anything to help him, then the Sith Lord fled."
"Fled?" asked Evgani Issus, "Why would he flee?"
Trenton shrugged, "He must not have wanted to fight me."
Evgani inquired, "What did this Sith want?"
Trent shook his head bitterly, "We will never know, because Jet cut us off."
San Xaan asked, "What happened after that?"
Trent went on, "I felt Ben...die, in The Force. So I rushed to where I sensed him, and found him on the floor. I picked him up and put him into a mine cart, which I sent towards the entrance to the tunnel. There I was confronted by Raeph Sunder, who fought me briefly. I redirected his Force Lightning into a sphere of energy, which then discharged into him. He disappeared, and I made for the surface. I..."
Tiv cut him off, "Wait...during this time, Master Grakin and I returned to the shuttle, where I called for backup. A Bounty Hunter attacked us, the one that captured Ben. I managed to hold him off so Master Grakin could rest. He fled however."
Trent eyed Tiverian, then said, "I returned to the shuttle with Ben, and used the Force to revive him. I passed out after that, and woke up shortly before the shuttle arrived."
San nodded, but the Council was looking suspicious, "Ben and Tiverian...Although the death of Master Sumner is a terrible tragedy, it is time for you to begin your Jedi Knight Trials. With the Sith having returned, we will need as many Jedi as possible to aid us in stopping this threat."
Ben and Tiverian looked at one another, their emotions a mix of pride and sorrow. Trent understood. They had wanted this for a long time, but they had wanted Jet to be there to see them. For a moment, he felt...guilty. He shut away his emotions in The Force before giving away his feelings, and looked at the council,
"What should I do to aid the Jedi?"
The Council frowned, and Aundria Fenix asked, "Are you aware...of what transpired here while you were away?"
Trent frowned, "Does it have to do with the blockade above?"
San shook his head, "No."
Dagon said flatly, "Roth left the Order, Trenton."

Jinta watches everything that has unfolded but he wonders who still killed master sumner then he hears about the Mandalorian blockcade which is presently now over Coruscant he wonders for only a second then looks over at Dagon who tells trenton Roth has left the Order from this time on everything he saw in the force in the future in his visions is slowly coming true he looks to the others masters within the room...
"if i may be so bold this blockcade is here for the bounty hunter but she has information that we need"...
"i suggest we stall them for at least a few more hours"...
"while i get in touch with Commander Lance Versting to bring our new Republic Fleet to Coruscant"...
"they are only a few parsec's away so they will be here within an hour two at the most"...
Jinta looks right at Tiverian and Ben who will finally recieve what they have been waiting for the Knight trails but a loss of Jet's will have consquences and Jinta next move will either break the trust with the council or with Trenton himself...

With a loud shattered and roar and rumble of the foundation of the Jedi council chambers everything they were talking about has stopped Lucien opens the blinds to see what is happening an assault on Coruscant fighters and ships of Manda-lore coming through the clouds surrounding the Senate the rounda everything he looks tot he others Masters including Trenton Vinh and more importantly Jinta Jidan as he has said something about a new fleet he has in his pocket if he has them why are they not here he stands up with urgency in his movements he turns to Dagon to San and calms himself enough o speak these words "this meeting is adjourned their is more important things we have to deal with Manda-lore as retaliated you can see it right in front of us,the threat is here we must fight now,stalling them will only bring more destruction,master Jidan call this commander of your they must come here and now" "we must stand together if we are going to survive" Lucien then emotionally walks out of the room down the hallway his cloak swaying in the breeze he is making he unclasps his light-saber and heads for the hanger where he will take what Jedi's are around and stop the Mandalorians at all costs not to kill them but to halt their advances if the Senate is destroyed it will be total chaos. |

Aundria Fenix stood up as people began to leave, "Stop!" She shouted, and in a rare display of Force Ability, yanked the doors to the Council room shut.
They slammed loudly, leaving total silence in their wake.
Trenton looked around at the Council and said loudly, "Do NOT bring in any fleets. If you attack them, they will destroy the area. Use common sense! They have us on our backs, with their blades to our throat. All they have to do is flick their wrist to cut us down. Now is not the time to provoke them."
Dagon Fenix stared at Trenton, and asked, "What do you suggest, Master Vinh?"
Trenton said, "Meet their demands. Give them Orla. She gave us the information we needed to learn about the Yuuzhan Vong threat. The only reason she is still in our custody is due to the fact that everyone was too busy fighting the Yuuzhan Vong to return her to them. She has outlasted her usefulness, let's not be stubborn and keep them from her. They will destroy us, and starting another war just after one ended is not a smart move."
He glared at the Masters around them, and said, "I am ashamed of you all. You are acting like children. This is one of the many times that violence is not the answer. It is the final refuge of the foolish, and if you intend to look like fools, go ahead and attack them. But when the smoke clears, they will be the ones still standing, and we will have lost more than we could gain."

" you right of course you right that is exactly what they would want us to do,we must be calm at peace"...
Jinta looks around to the other Masters within the council and back to Trenton stalling them isnt the answer giving them probably wouldnt be the answer he looks around the windows and doors are shut but Lucien has gone off to do his own thing if he attacks this city will be nothing more then rubble the peace will be gone chaos would riegn surpreme...
"Trenton what do u supose we should do give them what they want in exchange for what i doubt they will grant us a cease fire"...
"perhaps if we knew the whereabouts of Nain Kaar after all this wouldnt have happened if he didnt fire apon Ghev's capital ship while we were on Naboo"...
Jinta turns to San who is standing near him he crosses his arms and then looks at all the masters in the room then turns back to Trenton and shakes his head he has an idea he pats trenton on the shoulder then looks to the other Masters within the room he uncrosses his arms and walks to the back of his chair and thinks long an hard about his plan...
"ive know Ghev a long time,but you Trenton you were near him the most while you were on Naboo,perhpas if you got in touch with him again off the record we can figure some stuff out"...
"perhaps we can give him something and he stall this invasion for a few hours"... |

Trenton frowned, nodding slowly. Jinta had a point
He looked at the council members one by one, many seemingly dumbstruck.
Finally, Aundria spoke, "I do not want to leave this room knowing that the fate of the Republic is in this boy's hands."
Trent glared at her, his anger rising, he spat back, "Better mine than yours. Remember way back when you were hiding out in a bunker from the Empire? I saved you then, and then killed the Emperor himself. Do not act as if I am inept. As far as I've seen, all you have done since you came out of hiding is preach about how folish I am."
Trent stared at the other Masters, once again, the defiant Jedi against them all. He stated, "I will go and see them. And I will bring Orla with me. If you care to stop me...do it now. But don't try and stop unless you're willing to die for your Republic. Because if the Mandalorians don't kill you, I will."
He left the Council Chambers swiftly, the council members looking furious. But Trent did not worry. He had put them in their place, and now they knew how wrong they had always been about him.
He pulled out his comlink and sent a message to Ghev Dralin. He said, "Ghev. I have Orla. I'm coming to your flagship shortly. Be ready to clear me for landing. We need to talk...about more than just your feud with the Republic."

Jinta is impressed with what trenton has to say he slowly makes his way out of the room as the doors he does open with the force it has finally happened trenton has become a better force user he has stood up to the Jedi and now he is at last better then anyone as he leaves and stands out of the door of the council he notices Trenton walksing away he follows him he hears basically all that he says on the commlink and he is happy to see the boy he knew become something great the very best force user in this galaxy his destiny int his order is done a new one is about to begin,he see that now it was always right infront of him...
Jinta notices Trenton at the far corner of the hallway and he walks right up beside him with his hands in his cloak sleeves he only stares at his friend not sayin a word until he sees his eyes and knows his plan he finally smiles...
"ah so you did get in touch with Ghev,thats good a plan is working something this council knows nothing about they would rather hide behind the politics of this temple then to do what has to be done im proud of you Trenton you have stood up for what u believe in"...
the elevator finally comes up to the level that they are both on the door opens and he steps in hopefully trenton will do the same giving orla back to the mandalorians will probably give both of the time for what will probably come and at this point Jinta simply doesnt care anymore as far as he is concerned he is no longer part of a useless order...
"i believe this plan will work Trenton,you have done well from when i first met you you have grown into the man i always saw you would turn out to be,but your destiny is far from over,and id like to right by your side not as a mentor but as a friend"... |

Trenton stepped into the turbolift next to Jinta, tapping the button that would bring him down to the hangar bay. From there he would take a shuttle to the senate detainee prison a few kilometers away, retrieve Orla Orade, and take her to the Mandalorians in orbit.
Now that Roth had left the order, Trenton realized he had few friends he could trust. But he didn't need friends within the Jedi Order...he needed friends that wouldn't stab him in the back.
Trent said to Jinta, "Destiny is something that rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing. Roth chose his moment to leave the Jedi, I chose my moment to stand up to the Jedi. I did not leave the Order and I do not plan to. But I will do what I must to keep the Galaxy safe, whether its with the approval of the council or not. It does not matter to me how they feel about me. Jedi are supposed to be beyond emotion, because according to the Code: There is no emotion. "
He sighed as the lift stopped. He stepped out and turned to face Jinta. He said, "According to the Code, 'There is Peace'. Yet we live in chaos and there is war on our hands. The Code is flawed and so are the Jedi. Everyone is. There will never be peace if we live by a flawed message. So, I'm going to go beyond the Jedi Code, and do what The Force tells me."
He smiled in a friendly manner, and then the turbolift doors slid shut between the men.

with trenton speaking to him he feels the same way he always has felt the same way about many things he was right their shouldnt be any emotion and yet their is the Jedi Council is a joke of its former self as the turbolifts comes to a stop the doors open and he watches trenton leave the turbolift door close soon afterward and Jinta presses the emergency stop he thinks long and hard about what he has been talking about he looks to all that he has faught for and still he is truely not on the council though he should be and trenton or Roth should be as well they are the best of the younger generation but Roth has left and now trenton will stand up for what he believes in and again Jinta finds himself at a crossroads he must see this through their will be no more running the Jedi are fools they hide behind themselves this is the final straw he will go against everything he will help out trenton in this matter...
Opening up the doors of the turbolift with such force he bends the metal he notices Trenton walking a far distance away from him he has his back their is no way he is gonna cross him he respects Trenton as well as Roth to know if he is in trouble they have his back as well that is what brothers do they help each other out he steps off the turblift as it tries to move but its jammed and Jinta simply doesnt care anymore he has to balance the force somehow and if he cant do it himself then it will take Trenton and Roth Fenix with him to do it...
"Trenton wait up im coming with you"...
he hurries hismelf in walking to catch up to the young man his cloak sways in the motion of his bodyas he is now right up and beside Trenton as the two of them are on a mission of peace as they head for the hanger and to a shuttle that they will take to the prison to where Orla Orade is being held if their are guards they will simply release her and knock the guards out if the guards refuse a simple mind trick will sway them this has to end all war has too... |

As soon as the doors of the lift slid shut, Trenton sensed Jinta's feelings of indecision.
He frowned, and darted off to a shuttle as quickly as he could. As he powered up the ship, he closed his eyes and focused on an image of himself. He imprinted that image in The Force, walking away from the turbolifts as if he had been heading towards another shuttle than the one he actually was in.
A moment later he heard a loud screeching noise, and Jinta saying to his Force Ghost, "Trenton wait up, I'm coming with you."
Trent frowned, feeling bad that he was misleading the man. But as much as Jinta may have agreed with Trenton, the older man could not join him this time. As much as Trenton wanted to trust his friend, the man had just requested to be placed on the council, and that meant Jinta could become as much a threat as the current council members. As close as Trenton was to Jinta, the man had been close to Jet, and it would be a risk to be around friends of Jet after what Trent had done...
He relinquished his Force Ghost and sped off in his shuttle, sorry that he had to leave Jinta behind. He could not have any Jedi hear what he had to talk to the Mandalorians about...
