The Jedi Temple:Saber Arts Academy

[Johnathan Kenobi]

Johnathan appeared doing his normal job,he was lifting weights,going up against the droids,he worked on his Soresu today.Soresu utilized motions that occurred very close to the body, in an attempt to achieve near-total protection and expend as little energy as possible while executing moves. Form III stressed quick reflexes and fast positional transition, in order to overcome the rapidity with which a blaster could be fired. This technique minimized the body's exposure, making a well-trained practitioner nearly invincible. Followers of Soresu preferred to remain on the defensive until their opponent left an opening that a Soresu practitioner could exploit.

(The following is an example of Soresu used In Game)

Johnathan stood at the opposite side of the mat,his Blue blade was activated,he held it up and entered a defensive stance,which was also the opening stance of Soresu,as his opponent charged at him,he thrusted his blade forward,and caught his enemies blade,spinning in a 180 he held his blade up at his opponent,who also had spinned,and now was making for a slash across his torso,Johnathan saw the attack coming,and held his blade in a two hand hold,and as the blades touched he went on the offensive,spinning his blade in his hand,he let it go,and caught it with his right hand,then pulled it up and across the torso from the left hip to the right shoulder,with that maneuver he managed to cut through the body of his opponent and end the fight,funny what a small opening can do..

As Johnathan stepped out of the shower that he took after his training,he placed just a pair of pants on,and walked to the center of a mat,and sat with his legs crossed,and entered a meditation trance.

[Johnathan Kenobi]

Johnathan entered the training academy,and changed into sweats,taking off his shirt,there is a bandage wrapped around his chest,protecting his wound,as he begins to lift weights and do stretches,then he runs around the arena.

[Johnathan Kenobi]

Johnathan tests his strength,channeling Djem So,he pulls back his fist and hits the first barrier,causing it to fly back across the room,shooting through the wall,he grins,"Oops."he then turns and activates his training saber,six droids charge at him from each side of the room,as they do,John does some fancy fighting,full of flips and spins,and fancy manuevers,it is like a dance,his form is perfect,though as he ducks back he feels a sharp pain in his chest,ignoring the pain,knowing that it simply means that he's working up a sweat after taking the droids out,he looks at the last one,spinning his blade,he looks around,it seems safe enough to channel vaapaad,and so he holds his blade to his right and focuses on his balance,making a fast slash across its chest area,then vanishing,he appeared behind the droid,slashing down from the sky,he slashed through the droid,landing,he deactivates his saber,placing it back on the rack.




Johnathan takes off his bandage,looking at the scar,he smiles."I think its safe to say I'm happy with you."he said,then walked into the steamer,taking a seat he closes his eyes,touching in the force,he meditates softly on his past.

[Jade Albright]

~She walks in and looks around. There is some blood on the floor. She keeps walk til she hears the steamer. She walks to the door and opens it.~

This is taking it easy?

~Her eyes flash~

[Johnathan Kenobi]

"If I wasn't taking it easy I'd have activated more droids."he said,looking down at the fresh scar he smiles,"Do you think it does me justice?"he asked,winking at her,"Jade..I can only get better if I don't let it hold be down,and you were busy with your padawan."he said to her.

[Jade Albright]

~She walks into the steaming room and sighs.~

John the muscles around your heart are still healing. Is not about getting you down. This is not a horse. This is your body. One I am fond of and do not want to lose.

~Sweat trickles down her neck and she looks at herself still fully dressed. She slips off her cloak and robe till she is just wearing her cameo. She slides into his lap and lays her head on his chest.~

I don't ever want to lose you.

[Johnathan Kenobi]

John smiles,"I told you,don't worry so much,I'll be fine.."he kisses her neck softly,"I promise..on my honor as a Jedi."he runs his finger down her cheek,"I'll heal fine,I love you."he smiled and ran his hand down her side softly.

[Jade Albright]

~She tils up her face and lays a glowing hand on his chest. Heat come from her hand and she heals the rest of the damage to his heart. Her green eyes search his.~

I do trust you John. With everything I am.
~She cups his face and a tear runs down hers.~

[Johnathan Kenobi]

He wipes the tear away,"I hate to make you cry."he said,looking down,he then looks up and kisses her softly.

[Jade Albright]

~She gives a soft laugh and leans into the kiss.~

I am a woman we cry. As long as you here I don't mind crying my love.

~She lays her head on his chest again and yawns~

What are you going to do with Paymon.

~She interlaces her fingers with his.~

[Johnathan Kenobi]

He runs his fingers through her hair,and smiles,"I know..if you didn't cry..you wouldn't be human."he sighed and thought,"He'll stand before the council,they will be the ones to decide his fate,until they've returned..I'll make sure he doesn't go free."he says to Jade.

[Jade Albright]

~She snuggles against him~

They should come back soon.

~She stands and yawns. She takes his hand and pulls him out of the steamer room and to a back room. She lays down and pats the spot next to her. ~

Come lay next to me.

~She removes her wet clothing and slips under the sheets she closes her eyes and drifts to sleep, warm and happy with John next to her.~

[Johnathan Kenobi]

John waited until she was asleep,then he quietly slipped out of bed,pulling out a bunch of roses,he placed pedals all over the bed,and laid a bouquet on his pillow,then made a trail out into the training area,which he had cleaned up,and had the training mats taken down,and the blades put away,candles were lit around the room though in the center of the room,where the trail of roses end,was a small box with a note placed under it.

Inside the box was a ring,though instead of a daimond there was a beautiful clear crystal,there is no doubt that John made this ring himself. The note reads.

Jade,

We have been seeing eachother for some time now,we've both know that there is no way we could love anyone else.I realize this may be too soon,but I've never been one who was good at patience. But I have one question for you.


Jade,will you marry me?

~*~

John has it planned that when she reads the note,he'll walk through the door on the other side of the room.

He simply waits on the other side of the door,softly falling asleep. He keeps his ears open for Jade.

[Johnathan Kenobi]

Meanwhile this song will play when a motion sensor picks up that Jade is awake,and moving out of the bedroom.

[Jade Albright]

~She wakes up and stretches. As the music begins to play. Her eyes pop open and she looks around.~

What? John?

~She sees the note and tears fill her eyes.~

Oh oh my verse. Oh..

~She lets out a delighted laugh and spins around. She opens the case and a soft gasp escapes her.~

Oh John it is so beautiful. John? John?

~She looks around and gets out of the bed. She does not see him.~

How odd?

~She thinks about Paymon.~

Perhaps he is taking care of him.

~She hums and holds the ring in her hand. She cleans up and redresses. She slips the ring on a necklace and will wait for John so he can slip it on. She opens the door and looks out. She sees him sleeping on the floor. She uses the force to pick up up and lays him on the bed. She tucks him in and notices he does not stir. He is still tired from yesterday. She brushes back a lock of hair and places a soft kiss on his lips.~

Love you.

~She leaves a note.~

Dearest John

YES and YES.

Come find me so you can slip the ring on my finger.

Love you

~She leaves humming.~
