"I... am not sure. I went with what felt natural, I think. When in meditation in my own cave on my own world, I didn't picture it at all as I began assembling it. It simply began. My father had left behind an invaluable treasury of crystals, but I did not think of that either. I felt only the link between the parts. I WAS the link. The process of preliminarily assembling it felt like a few seconds, when it probably took days. During the brief moments of rest I had to take, I did not think of its form. As it was finished, I did not think of how it was formed or how it came to be. It simply felt like a part of me had been restored from being lost."
He seemed perplexed by his own words and furrowed his brows in contemplation. But it was fruitless. He didn't have an answer.
"The closest I can come to explaining it is that it is in tune with my spirit. It flows like the river and shines like the stars, and thus, I will never feel alone again if I have it with me. Losing it would feel like losing a limb. It would disrupt the flow, the same flow that generates these almost automatic movements. Instinct, I think is the key word. Instinct to recover something lost. Perhaps even replacing it."
Deactivating the remote and his lance, Stargazer stood. He was most pleased with his bodysuit, although he didn't know how he looked. Deciding to stop blabbering with a shake of his head, he sat down on one of the chairs.
"I'm sorry. I'm not making any sense."
He lowered his head and shook it.
"But something has been happening to me lately. It begun in our first challenge. I think I'm beginning to make more sense of it now, but it is perplexing nonetheless. You will have to forgive me for my need to process it, my lady."
He raised his head.
"Surrendering to absolute focus has always been the best way to put your mind off other things."
Brandishing a small smile to the lady, he felt, strangely, at ease. This was a long gone comfort he had though utterly forlorn. Some parts of him was frightened of it, as he had forced himself to live without it, and he shuddered slightly.
"But then, I have also always been one to be able to adapt to anything in a flash. Coping with loss is probably what I do best, so I would get used to losing Azrael quickly, as always."
A small smile once more revealing itself, Stargazer leaned to the wall to rest a bit. He admired the growing node of life made possible in the wondrous woman next to him.
"I trust you and the little one are faring well." |

"We found out it is a little girl. Besides that, what the child will be like is still a mystery. I will leave you to train, seeing how I have other chores to attend to. Most of them finding out what happened to the other trainees."
Darth Empyrean rises smoothly, and walks away, looking distracted, but at peace for once in a long while. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2142 Joined: 23 Jan 2008 | Stargazer nods as well, with a smile.
"I had a feeling it would be a girl. There is no doubt in my mind she will inherit your strength and indomitable will."
Seeing the lady sith walk away with gentle movements, he surrenders to a deep sigh. The pain of his hopelessness was almost unbearable.
Oh beloved.. I would devour stars to bring you back..
Giving in to grief, he quietly allows two tears to fall on the hard floor before he absorbs it like so many times before and gets up. With renewed determination born of emptiness, he resumes extremely hard training, pushing himself beyond his own limits to void his mind. |

Want to know what I forgot about, the Sith title. I vote for Maelstrom.
Anyway the essay:
It is my firm belief that greatest is a subjective term. But if I had to choose in terms of great things, I would choose Darth Sidious. I think this because he has done many great things. He has cheated death countless times, he conquered the galaxy through fooling & killing most of the Jedi, killed the creator of the Vaapad Style, Mace Windu, and he even converted two of the most powerful Jedi of all time to the Dark Side, Anikan & Luke Skywalker.
But if I had to choose in just sheer awesomeness, I would choose Lord Vader because he is just awesome.
Bill & Ted: Don't you mean...excellent!!! *Air guitar duet*
Me: Quiet you two. Give me one second m'lord. *Takes Bill & Ted to the other room* *Saber slashes* *Comes back with blood on my clothes* What was I talking about? Yeah the essay.
Vader also assisted in the genocide of the Jedi, lived through being burned alive by liquid hot magma, and he had the balls to kill his former master and Sidious as well (that guy has no luck with masters).
How I tried to be like them, lets see. I...killed...Jar-Jar.Yeah, that's right, I killed him. The universe's greatest annoyance gone. Don't get how the Battle Droids weren't able to kill him. Ahhhhhh, you should have heard him and his family scream when he got killed. *Enjoys memory for fifteen minutes* Wait...what was I talking about again? Oh yes the essay.
How have they inspired me. They've inspired me by trying to invent new ways to use the force. Like combining saber attacks with force lightning, making lightning bombs, trying to make force fire (not working by the way), making saber slashes more powerful, I'm even attempting to come up with a saber style of my own.
Why I think you should pick me as your apprentice? I don't know. I joined this to have some fun. And if I get chosen to be your apprentice, well I guess that's just a bonus for me. But if I had to choose some traits about me I would have to say that I'm creative (especially with an art program or Flash MX), determined, I can't rap worth shit so I can make you look better by comparison, loyal, can make things out of hemp, willing to learn more about the Force.
"What did you say, boy?" The cold voice of Darth Corruptus rings out behind Ninja Skills, who turns to face the tall, black-clad figure. "You are trying to create Force fire? Here... I'll show how. I call this Force Incinerate"
With that, Corruptus outstretches his hand. All at once, Ninja Skills collapses to his knees, screaming in agony. The room is filled with an acrid stench, a terrible, familiar stink. Empyrean is the first to recognize the pungent odor - it is burning flesh.
It is clear now, Ninja Skills is breathing smoke. Suddenly, a thick, grey fluid comes bubbling up, he is vomiting his intestines, liquefied by the intense heat. Ninja Skills falls sideways and rolls onto his back. A flame now pokes out of his stomach. The fire spreads, and a widening hole can be seen in his midsection. Soon, he is consumed in flames.
Within thirty seconds, Ninja Skills has just become the first person of all time to fall victim to Force fire.
Congratulations. |

He walks to the charred remains of the clone, looks down and says "Damn. I actually liked that clone too." "That was kinda cool Corruptus. After this is over can you show me how to do that?" |

"Seriously Corruptus, how hard is that. You got all fanciful and it didn't work."
Darth Mobius used the Force to hurl the dying body of Ninja Skills against the bulkhead.
"You die simply for trying to copy someone else. And FAILING! I have known of his skill 'Force Fire' for several months now. Surely you can do better than try to copy one of my friend's abilities."
With a flick of his wrist, Darth Mobius parted an Artery in Ninja Skills' brain.
"For Force Plagiarism, lack of imagination, and just generally being incompetent, you are removed both from this competition, and this MORTAL COIL."
Darth Mobius turned his back on the dying Apprentice as he gasped for his last breath.
"Dispose of his body as he deserves. Flush him down the trash compactor!"
With that order, Darth Mobius left Ninja Skills to die alone. As his force presence vanished, Darth Mobius smiled. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1370 Joined: 5 Jul 2008 | Well it was fun while it lasted NinjaSkills thought as he died in the trash compactor I especially liked the design your own stuff challenges. That was fun. Well all there is to do is to die. |
