The Student becomes a Teacher... (Caed's Teacher Training, Keanu)

[Rev]

Caed had made it known he was unlike the other Bogan, he did not wish to train around others, he was his own man, his own Bogan. Standing outside the vast caverns that made up the Dark Jedi Temple, Caed stared at its filth and longed for something more extravagant. The Bogan deserved a cathedral of sorts... a real temple like the Jedi flaunted. Why had they simply destroyed that templed and fleed Coruscant he would never quite understand. Regardless that was not why he was here, he was here to further his training and lead Bogan followers to their true potential.

Stopping in a clearing the dry dead foliage around him were a picture of what he had become. His face looked dead, a pale white reflected the dim light that shown itself through the crackling clouds. Thunder and lightning erupted high above, but rain would never fall, a unique trait of this part of the Bogan's dark planet. Taking in a slow but deep breath, a powerful breath, Caed lowered the hood from his veiled face. Cracked skin apparent and eyes that would compete with the darkening clouds up above. He had fallen far into the Darkside, one might say a return would be impossible. Focusing his stare at a rotting tree in the distance, the young Bogan fell to his knees. His eyes fell shut, his body looked limp and lifeless from the position he held in, but looking from close his stature was firm, in control, and his breathing was almost non-existent. Almost feeding off the nature around him, looking outside the clearing showed some life, but stemming out from Caed he would appear a cancer, a virus sucking life directly from the planet.

"Now I wait..."

 

[Keanu]

Pharus had heard that his new apprentice was outside by some of the guards. He could also sense the force signature of his apprentice aswell. He made his way outside wearing a traditional umbaran cloak with hood with the hood down revealing his pale face and cold calculating eyes and purple color around his eyes (on his eyelids). Surprisingly his skin nor body suffered from dark side corruption. Pharus carried 2 identical golden lightsabers both in handle color and blade color clipped to his belt that also carried several tools and a datapad.

Pharus walked out of the temple and stopped for a moment to focus on caeds force signature, it didnt require much effort to lock onto it. He sensed Caed wasnt far off and made his way towards him. As he approached cade he could see that he was what seemed an almost lifeless position surrounded by death and decay. He didnt think any of it and continued towards Caed and stopped a few meters away.

"You must be my new apprentice. My name is Pharus."

ooc: bit tired at the moment.

 

[Rev]

Sensing the approach of another Caed put much of his meditative focus on this stranger. Afterall with the Bogan there were countless murders and assassinations that seemed to carry no meaning, it was their way. Standing as the form got within meters, the voice that carried out did in no way intimidate the young Ultor. Taking in a deep breath Caed looked his newest Master over, up and then back down. He appeared to be an acceptable member of the Bogan, more traditional and upstanding than the rest, good. He did not wish to be trained by one of the fools that thought they were above the Bogan and wore scrap, they looked like imbeciles.

"Master Pharus, I'm at your disposal, my Lord."

Bowing his head and arching his back only slightly his arm extended out, a bow that flaunted elegance but carried respect. The young Ultor's voice hit like a whip, a hiss to it that almost stung after he spoke. Holding a quick, almost lightning quick temp to it, the words still managed to drag out of the young man's lips. His black eyes stared through Pharus for only a moment before he spoke.

"Pharus... means light does it not my Lord?"

Caed smirked before crossing his arms.

"...Shall we begin?"

 

[Keanu]

Due to Pharus extensive training in the force, his umbaran talents and his past experiences in bounty hunting meant that the hiss the ultor tried to send out didn't affect him. He simply shurgged off the hiss and continued to speak in a normal manner but respectfull manner.

"Yes, Yes it does but light as in the light generated by lamps and candles and such. Not the light side of the force what those Jedi fools preach. Now before we begin your training why dont you tell me a short history about yourself and what master or masters you previously had and what he or she taught you. Or you can show me either one will be fine." Pharus stated in an interested yet professional tone his face remaining emotionless and his eyes focused on Caed"

 

[Rev]

Caed listened intently to his newest Master. This man was soft spoken, but had a harshness to his words that left a lasting impression. Walking closer to Pharus he stood a few feet away from the man, taking in each of his words with careful grace he responded, his voice direct and to the point.

"I was trained by two men, my Master... The first being Zeak Seleon, I had respect for this man only because he was my Master, aside from that he had no qualities that pertained to me as a Bogan. His skill in leadership were lackluster, his ability to train were below average, and his strength in the blade is what kept him alive. I felt his training regiment wasn't up to standards.. This is why after I was pitted against another apprentice of his in a fight to the death I left his tutelage and moved on to my second master, Rish Koor."

Taking in a breath he took a step away from Pharus this time, standing at his side and looking out in the same direction his Master would be.

"Rish taught me the true power of the Darkside, of the Bogan. It was at this time I saw the true essence of the Force, I saw the lies the Jedi carried and I truly believed in what the Bogan taught, not the mistake my first Master had been. He taught me of the power of the Darkside and all that it was capable of."

A lone native Talid wandered through the snow covered tundra before them. Stopping it gazed at the Master and Apprentice for only a moment before turning it's back on the two. Reaching out through the Force, Caed called to the forms being, pulling it towards the two. In a heap the creature rolled to them before stopping in a snowy heap. Slowly getting to its 'feet' it looked at the two, fear dwelling in its eyes. The Force would clench the creatures throat and squeeze, choking the life out of it slowly. Watching the creature gasp and struggle for air brought a curious smirk to Caed's young pale face. Releasing it, it again fell to a heap gasping for breath with each passing second. Letting out a sigh of disappointment Caed again reached down to the pit of his stomach and unleashed a fury of Force Lightning into him. Hearing the screams only inspired the Bogan to act more maliciously. Before long the smell of burnt flesh radiated the air, a charred corpse was all that remained. Letting out another breath he turned to Pharus and gave him a nod.

"I learned these techniques with my second Master, along with the ability to drain the life out of my enemies and some of their Force energy... These techniques I'm not as adequate in, but would suffice to say the least, Master."

 

[Keanu]

Pharus listened with interested to what Rev has already learned from his previous masters and the little display of force Pharus however didnt feel any emotion or change in face when the display was over it was nothing special for someone that was trained very little.

"I do not know of Zeak Seleon but Rish Koor happens to be my current apprentice and what he taught you must have been limited. He is not that far in his own training and his skill in the force is very, very limited. He is very decent with a lightsaber however but right now I am trying to teach him the ways of the force so he wont get overwhelmed by an opponent skilled in it.

The way I see it your training has been very, very limited and will require extensive training to bring you up to rank of the other more advanced crusaders. Luckily you have one of the finest teachers around. My knowledge in the ways of the force is surpassed by no other bogan perhaps maybe only by the Bogan himself. Now Lightsaber wise I can teach you the Niman / Jar'kai dual lightsaber form which I have mastered. I can teach you to a lesser degree to become profecient in Soresu"

 

[Rev]

Caed stared at Pharus for a few moments taking in the information he had given him, the thought of being trained by one of the best Darkside Force practitioners excited him, but he showed no sign of that. Uncrossing his arms he nodded as if agreeing with Pharus, but was simply taking in the information and processing it in his mind.

"I was a former Jedi, my Master... my father is on the Jedi Council, Rev Ultor."

His voice held a sting to it that seemed to flaunt hate and pain towards the name. Just speaking of the Jedi nearly brought the young Bogan Crusader into a frenzy, let alone his very own father.

"I was trained by him growing up in the blade.. As a Jedi they wished for me to become a Guardian, to wield the blade as he does. I am nearly proficient in Djem So as he is, which to say the least is at a mastered form. My Force powers I feel are the weakest aspect of myself."

His voice was still cold, blunt, and to the point. He didn't hold back, and he wouldn't hold back for Pharus, the training would be the most grueling experience of his short life, he'd make sure of it.

"This is why I wish to become a Bogan Teacher.. I hate the Jedi.. They wanted me to become something I am not.. a protector, my Master... I will become a destroyer, a conquerer, and I wish to use the Force to instill that fear into my enemies."

Pausing for only a moment he quickly spoke.

"I wish to learn anything you will teach me, I am at your will, Master."

 

[Keanu]

Pharus listened with intrique it was not every day he was talking with an ex jedi who also had a Jedi master for a father the subject intriqued him greatly and he made a few mental notes here and there regarding his history and what he was trained in.

"Interesting. I assume that you were trained in the basic skills such as force push, wave and from what you just showed me quite profecient in force choke. Okay... let me see what you can do how about... force lifting and force pushing 2 large and heavy blocks of stone"

Pharus aimed his hand towards a pile of rocks and with a simple gesture he moved them not to far off near them

"Lift and push these 2 blocks of stones as far as you possibly can. Focus your hate and rage on them to make it easier."

 

[Rev]

Caed was quiet, he always had been, and his silent form would be no different at his newest Master's request. Staring at those large slabs of stone that slowly collected the floating snow. If he had been a Jedi or hell anything aside from a Bogan he might have said the setting was rather beautiful, instead his mind focused on the subject at hand.

Caed's mind wandered to various times and trials in his life. Relating to a closer aspect his eyes stared on in interest at the Bogan Lord himself. Before this intimidating creation lay a woman, Arabella Ultor, his mother. The screams and torture that followed in his mind only caused his teeth to clench, he hated that woman, but what he had saw the Bogan do to her was enough to break any man. The reminder of burnt flesh came to his mind, not just any flesh, but the flesh of the woman who bore him and gave birth to him her flesh rotting and burning away is what clouded his senses. His inner rage was only growing, harnassing everything that was filling his mind.

A second thought pushed in, his training with his first Master, the duel with another apprentice and the effects it had. The failure his first master bestowed upon him instead of a title of Crusader, the hate he contained for this man almost radiated from Caed's young form. His body was almost a beacon of hate, confusion, anger, and rage. Then the final thought pushed itself into his mind, his father.

This man was the man that betrayed not only himself, but his family. Caed was where he is because of that man, and he would accept that, but the loss of Arabella and his old life was all on the Jedi Master's plate in Caed's eyes. It was him pressing Caed and pushing him to no end that pushed him into darkness, it was all his fathers fault he was where he is.

Letting out a loud scream as the Force wrapped itself around the cluster of dense rock it lifted in the air with little, almost no effort. Staring up at the rock that levitated now an almost fifteen feet in the air, his arms moved back as if he were ready to push them away, as if they were in front of him. The result was a shockwave of Force energy, the ripple in the Force that extended shook far more than just the rock. Staring at the darkened gray stone he watched it crack, almost splinter into pieced from this shockwave. The wall of energy that slammed into this stone sent it sailing into the distance, before long it was slamming into the snowy undercrop and tumbling down a cliff that it came to. The toss must have been almost a hundred feet, quite impressive, but by no means a record. Clenching his fists he'd look at Pharus and await further instructions, that hate and rage still just pressing off his body to an almost uncontrollable means.

 

[Keanu]

Pharus let out a small sarcastically meant clap.

"Not bad. I can see that you are advanced in this technique so we will not be training this one unless needed. Your advanced use of feeding on rage and hate is also to be commended but remember Rage and Hate can cloud your mind you need to not only absorb these emotions but also control them. When you do not control them they take over your body and attacking a jedi with only rage and hate will lead to your death. And that would be most unfortunate for such a person with your abilitys. Now that we have the basics out of the way why dont we try something more advanced? You stated that you know force lightning correct? Show me. If you dont succeed or if I find that I can give you some pointers then I will but right now the first few parts of our training will mostly be you showing me what you can do and where your potential lays."

 

[Rev]

Caed listened to Pharus closely, the fact that he wasn't impressed pleased Caed more than he'd ever allow shown. He did not want a teacher who was satisfied, but one that asked for more each time, and this man seemed to be just that.

"As you wish my Master."

He took note about controlling his rage, he would continue to use it, and his anger, but attempt to control those powerful emotions. Meanwhile he would focus on the task at hand, a storm of Force Lightning.

Taking in a deep breath he knew this task would drain much of his energy. Staring blankly forward his eyes then seemed to focus on the thin air before him. His anger still boiled from the previous thoughts, letting the raw emotion broil within him he let it out once the feeling of control seemed to dwindle. The focus went to his finger tips, his own body's electrical current focusing to his fingertips then multiplying by thousands. Releasing the ball of electrical current his hand held a blast of lightning erupted from his palm and fingertips. The storm clashed with the air, each spark of electricity clashing with the corresponding current to its side. The tens of bolts turned into hundreds and a storm was upon them. Only the sound of clashing ions could be heard as the bolts crackled off against the empty tundra. Finally the storm would come to a halt and Caed would take on slow deep breath followed by an exhale before looking at Pharus. Giving his Master a nod as if to say he had done the task to the best of his ability he awaited his next instructions.

 

[Keanu]

"I can see that left you drained. This most likely is just due to your limited experience in using the force or this specific power atleast dont worry endurance will come with time, experience and repeated training of the techniques you already posses and techniques I will teach you. Now watch and learn."

Pharus flowed the force from his body and the force surrounding his body into the palm of his hands they started to glow and several sparks were flying off them already they even landed on his arms, hands and other body parts but they left Pharus unscathed and untouched. He took a step to the left and let out a flow of force lightning. It covered his entired body as a shield and then with a motion of a hand swing it surrounded Caed but it did not hurt him or damage him he then collected the lightning and blasted the energy into a tree setting it on fire and breaking it in half.

"I hope you learned something of this display or atleast had a taste of what you can learn with additional training. Tell me how knowledge are you in mind probing?"

 

[Rev]

Caed watched the display, almost in awe, his jaw would drop only slightly, but enough for one to realize it if they were paying attention. Locking his jaw back into place as the electrical current flowed around his nimble frame. His eyes searched as if trying to find a beacon of protection, before he knew it the current was displaced and shot into a nearby tree. Staring at the flaming wreckage he looked back to Pharus, the knowledge he had just given him would be analyzed and he would soon teach himself such a technique, the power behind it was beyond describable.

"I know much of mind probing. Despite my previous training with the Jedi, I found this technique to be quite useful, quite powerful... Manipulating ones mind to do as you please is frowned up on the Jedi's Order, though I still regularly practiced it, even on my own comrades. Making them do as I wished, they were weak."

He looked at Pharus then back to the blank tundra lain out before him.

"Manipulation is almost a second nature to me, Master."
