Zeffo
Outer Rim Territories
Fallen-Order-Zeffo.jpg
Shortly after touching down on the planet Zeffo, and equipping his lightsaber, his datapad on the back of his belt, also with Scouty on his back at the ready, Jey exited the Kath Hound's boarding ramp and took a few moments to just stand and observe the windswept planet. It was beautiful, one of the most beautiful he had ever seen - the grass covered surface and the icy mountains were mesmerising , even the large and intimidating Zeffo statue was a sight to see in its own unique way. Jey's current goal was to make his way to some sort of ancient catacombs that were mentioned in his father's journal.

The catacombs in question, were constructed by an ancient Force-sensitive race whom shared the planet's namesake... and of course, in his father's secretive fashion, that was all Jey really knew about the catacombs and the Zeffo species. Right now, all he knew was that he had to get inside the catacombs and trigger Scouty's locked memory bank. Wouldn't be all bad though, he got some alone time and the opportunity for he and Scouty to stretch their legs - or so he thought.

Some time into his walk to the Zeffo catacombs (it was a pretty long walk), the sense of calm and solitude was ended when a pit formed in his stomach, meaning danger was near. Jey unclipped his lightsaber from his belt and held it out, ready to face any threat, Jey's attention then turned to a few sinkholes in the dirt that surrounded the area, noticing the sinkhole's dirt rings were crumbling and shifting slightly. To his surprise, scazz erupted from the sinkholes and all converged on the Force-sensitive teen. with a snap hiss of his amber blade Jey was ready to defend himself.

All hell broke loose as at least a dozen scazz were attacking Jey. Slashing and dodging any of the rodent-like creatures that got too close, he could also sense another presence nearby... a Force-sensitive, however, his attention was placed on surviving his attack and he couldn't focus on this other person's Force affiliation. He hoped whoever this was, they weren't a Dark sider.

Jacob was more of a Jedi than an adventurer lately, not that he minded too much. He did enjoy travelling the galaxy and he would humor himself at times by saying "He's just opening himself up to new experiences" Seeing as how he spent a majority of his time at the temple. He landed his ship on the surface of Zeffo and stopped for a moment, taking in his surroundings. He took in a deep breath and closed his eyes as he tried to get a feel for the area around him using the force. While the immediate area around him felt clear, he could feel something reaching out to him somewhere else. Luckily for Jacob it wasn't too far of a walk from where he was, although the trip seemed rather treacherous.

Well if the force beckons he thought to himself as he began to make his way to the call, taking care not to get too ahead of himself he made his way along the rocky path leading to his destination. His walk was accompanied by the occasional clattering of rocks falling and the discomforting feeling of collapsing rubble. While he wasn't fearful of falling, his mind was incredibly focused on preventing it from happening. Soon however he would find stable ground as he heard the all to familiar sound of conflict, by someone with a saber no less. It soon dawned on him that the call he felt was another force user.

The knight peered around to see a young man fighting creatures he had yet to see before, he wasn't sure what started the conflict with the sharp clawed creatures, but he was sure that if they won it would end with the force user eaten. Wasting no time, he ignited his yellow blade and made his way to the site of the conflict. He was immediately noticed by a few of the creatures not currently occupied by their first quarry as they began to lunge at him. He would keep his mind focused on the fight for now, but curiosity about the man fighting with him would overtake him later.

Jey noticed the onslaught decreased slightly as the scazz broke off their attack and rushed somewhere else. Taking a moment to see where they were going, he saw them charging toward another individual - a guy with a lightsaber. The teen wouldn't be able to continue his thought process as he was suddenly and violently tackled to the ground by a remaining scazz, the sudden jolt and impact of the fall caused Jey's lightsaber to roll out of his hand which forced him to hold the creature off with his strength alone.

Luckily his self-training had allowed Jey's physical strength to improve, Jey's forearm was at the creature's throat, blocking it from taking any kind of bite out of him. The scazz's breath caused the teen to gag slightly as it was probably one of the worst odours in his life, and this was coming from a guy raised in Hutta Town. Jey's head whipped round to where his lightsaber was located; a few feet away and he stretched out his left hand, summoning it into his hand with the Force, igniting it and slashing at the creature; carving it in two.

Removing the scazz's carcass off of him, he stood up and made his way over to help the guy with the lightsaber - seeing as he had been so kind to help Jey out as well, however, the man had already finished the scazz off by the time he got there. Whoever this guy was, it was obvious he was a much better swordsman than Jey was currently. Panting and holding his chest, Jey shut off his lightsaber and chuckled - "Thanks for the help, pateesa. If it weren't for you, I'd be scazz wet food by now." he joked. Jey proceeded to rub the back of his neck, now being able to evaluate the situation, he came to the conclusion that this guy must have been a Jedi as he sensed the Light side within him.

Then curiosity took over as a brow raised slightly on Jey's face "So... what Jedi business has got you on Zeffo?" he queried, knowing that there must have been a reason this guy was here, maybe they could help each other out. In the long months since fleeing Nar Shaddaa, Jey's opinion on Jedi was shifting from complete disdain to mildly tolerable.

Jacob was not exactly in his element, mainly due to the small creatures he was fighting. He had no issue keeping the creatures at bay, but landing a blow on the dexterous little monsters was a difficult task to say the least. Gripping the saber handle with both hands, he swapped form and began to allow the force to guide his movements. Instead of patiently waiting to counter the remaining creatures, he simply began slashing at them left and right the moment he saw a chance. I need to take care not to be too reckless

Their numbers soon began to wane as Jacob went on the offensive, however he took a few hits as he began to take wide swing, the scazz were rather organized as the capitalized on every moment they could. Sharp claws scrapped against his legs and arms as he took down one more scazz with a heavy swing. He pulled back, the numbers had dwindled and he needed to focus. The scazz around him began hesitating as they each reluctantly began to lunge at the young knight. He began to cut his way through the reduced numbers with ease. He took a moment to take a breath and get a grip on his surroundings, ensuring there would be no further enemies.

He turned off his saber and turned to greet the young man who had led him here and began sizing him up. He handled himself with a saber rather well,which caused Jacob to wonder where he was trained and by who, especially with rumors of sith about. As he spoke Jacob was a bit taken aback by the language he wasn't fully familiar with. He knew it to be Huttese due to his time on Nar Shadaa. "It was no issue, I'm glad I could help. are you injured anywhere?" As he spoke he clipped his saber back to his side, he had the feeling he wasn't dealing with a sith at this moment. Jacob's ears perked up as the man inquired his reasoning for being here, "This planet has great historical relevance and no doubt knowledge that, even now, has yet to be tapped, not to mention the strong presence the force has here. I came here to explore and meditate, and this seemed like the place to do it peacefully."


The lingering question still haunted the back of Jacob's mind as he spoke, he had to know. He figured it wasn't a sith lord or whatever these dark siders were about, but he didn't recognize the man from any of the temples or the few hundred Jedi that existed. "Might I inquire to who trained you? You should a great proficiency with that saber from what little I saw, and it is rather rare to see another one on the hip of someone not affiliated with the order."

"Besides my ego? Nah, I'm good. Thanks." Jey assured in a lighthearted manner to his Jedi rescuer, Scouty followed up Jey's statement with a sly joke about Jey's ego, prompting the teen to make a 'tsk' noise at Scouty in annoyance. Clipping his lightsaber to his belt, Jey listened to the Jedi's response to his question - it was the most Jedi-like answer he could have probably received at this moment in time. Well, at least the guy wasn't a threat to Jey or his goals and as he thought this, the teen's eyes slowly peered toward the ancient Zeffo statue in the distance.

His eyes then returned to the Jedi's when he asked where Jey had received his training from. While scratching his temple with his gloved index finger, he would answer "Self-trained... I'm not that good with a lightsaber yet, could guarantee a trained Jedi could mop the floor with me." with a light chuckle added to the end of it. Jey's answer was... vague at best, while he told the truth to an extent he neglected to explain how he was self-trained and that he had received some training from his father back when he was a kid. Truth be told, he couldn't really trust this Jedi... not yet at least.

However, before the Jedi could prod any further, Jey cleared his throat and outstretched his arm inviting the Jedi to shake it. "Name's Jeyten Dres, I'm here to get inside the Zeffo catacombs." he revealed bluntly without any further explanation as to why followed by a cheerful introduction from Scouty as well, "Maybe we could help each other out? Might be some interesting things in there." he said, winking, in hopes of potentially goading that curiosity for more knowledge in the Force that most Jedi seemed to have nowadays.

Jey had no idea what was inside those catacombs, or what threats he would be facing... while the teen was full of himself and highly arrogant regarding his strength in the Force, having a Jedi with him seemed like a smart idea.
