Managing to cut off the arms of his first opponent due to his speed,the leader and him were still managing to fight,the sabers were clashing,things were flying around the room,but this fight ended when the Sith raised his saber above his head,and attempted to make a slash with all of his strength,channeling Djem So,Johnathan held his saber up in a one hand grip,also channeling something,but it was something different,when his saber clashed he slid down the blade,grabbing the hands of his opponent,pulling his blade around,he cut of both fingers the leader fell to his knees,the opponents lightsaber was in the air,Johnathan caught the left saber in his right hand,and held both sabers to the opponents neck,but he could hear Arya using Mandalorian curse words,and heard someone yelling too..he didn't have time for hesitation,this girl was in danger and he was taught.
When you fight,fight to win,and never loose.
When you protect,protect them with your life,never let them get hurt.
Johnathan moved out of instinct,he began a spin,slicing off the Sith's head,he spinned,and flew across the room,landing with a slide,just in between Arya and the Sith,he held his sabers up in an "X" formation,his own in his right hand,and the sith leader's in his left,he looked the sith in his eyes,"Your Leader is dead,this is his saber."gesturing to the crimson blade in his left hand,the curved hilt was proving its worth,and John knew he could kill this sith with ease,he was already in great pain. "Take your chance to surrender now,deactivate your lightsaber."Johnathan let out a sigh,he knew a Sith wouldn't surrender.
The Sith gave a grin,"You underestimate the power of the Dark Side."he said,Johnathan couldn't help but smile,"I don't underestimate the force,I only know of your arrogance as a foolish Dark Jedi,not even worthy of the rank of Sith.."He said,"All users of the Dark Side have too much faith in the Darkness,all it will do is consume you and make you its puppet,and as I can see,you already have strings attached."Johnathan said to him.
"Your a perfect Jedi,rambling on like anyone gives a crap about your Jedi bullshit."He said,Johnathan sighed,looking at him,"So be it.."He pulled the sith lightsaber out of his X formation and with sheer force,he pushed his enemies to the left,and pulled up the other blade,and impaled him,straight through the heart,blood rippled down his torso and onto the ground,kicking the sith with his left foot,Johnathan sent him on his back,holding the blades down to his side,he hung his head,he had killed three men today,all of which he could have taken prisoner,the dark side haunted him,but he faught it away,reminding himself it was to protect others,he finally deactivated the blades,and tossed the Sith Saber onto the floor,placing his own on his belt he reached into a pouch on his belt,and pulled out a few cred disks,and sat them on the bar,looking over to the man cowering behind the bar,"Sorry for the mess."Johnathan said,turning to Arya he sighed,"Now do you believe?"he asked her,his ice blue eyes watched her,she was so beautiful,her stance was amazing,when he had seen her move,she moved with such grace that it was amazing.

Arya blinks as "J" slides between herself and the sith. He actually had put himself on the line for her. She couldn't believe he did that... let alone understand why. Her family had taught her that all force users were bad people... but so far she'd seen nothing but affection and concern from this one.
Arya watched his face, she had learned how to read facial expressions as she grew up. It was her only way to know for sure what someone was feeling, but... as she watched him, something was different, she could literally feel the emotions he was feeling. She didn't know why, or how, but for the moment she didn't care, she was just glad to be able to feel at all. As he speaks to her, something in his eyes helps to sooth her racing mind, and the bright white glow begins to subside.
"I'm not sure what to believe anymore... all I know for sure... is that you put yourself on the line for me... and you didn't have to do that."
As she speaks, she continues watching him, she could feel the remorse for the deaths of those bullies, and wasn't quite sure what to do or say, but somehow she wished she could help him. Taking a deep breath, she places her hand against his shoulder, and speaks softly, and as soothingly as she can to him.
"You feel remorse for your actions... but don't. Death can not always be avoided. You did everything you could to get them to leave, to go on, but somehow... te ehn were Ori'buyce, kih'kovid."
She says, lightly squeezing his shoulder.

Giving her a smile,he watched her calm,she was safe,he let out a sigh of relief,when she spoke to him,he listened and laughed,she was more like him than he cared to admit,he spoke back to her,"My name is Johnathan Kenobi,I'm a Jedi Knight,I came here to clear my name of rumors,and I was asked by the queen to please help clean up some of the remnants of the Sith..all I can tell you is to believe,that you have a gift,and I want to help you,I am not going to hurt you..its exactly the opposite,I want to protect you from them,the fools who attacked us tonight,Arya,I ask you,will you join me? And learn the ways of the force?"he asked her,he wasn't sure what she would reply with he just clipped his saber to his belt,and offered her is hand.

Arya listened to Johnathan, her brow furrowing in thought at his words. She wasn't sure about any of this, nor did she believe herself to have any sort of a gift, but this beautiful and valiant man had saved her life, and was now speaking of protection, and even though he didn't verbalize it, she believed him to speak of loyalty. Her only cringe came from his calling her out as a force adept. Never in her life had she thought herself to be one of "those" people. Arya looked to the floor, rolling her shoulders a bit as she thought over his proposal. She looked at his hand, her mind racing, could she do it? Could she really abandon all she knew, and become one of the people her deceased father despised? Could she do that? Drawing a deep breath, she looks back into his eyes, remembering how they had soothed her soul moments earlier. She again found a feeling of safety and warmth there, even through the icy color of them.
"I... I..."
She begins, her hands quivering.
"I... can't promise anything..."
She finally manages... taking a moment to remember how lost she'd felt over these last several months, and how in the short time she'd known this man, he'd given her more than one moments of clarity.
"But... I want to try... I want to learn more... not only about this Jetii magic you say I have... but... about who I am..."
She says faintly, her shaking hand extending and falling into his at the end of her statement.

He nodded,and took her hand,"I promise you,I will help you every step of the way."he said,a Soldier stepped into the door,walking over he looked at the ground,seeing limbs,decapitated men,and a pool of blood,the man sighed,this Jedi would give him a load of paperwork to do now,but he had to respect the man,it was three on one,not many would have been able to pull out without a scratch,this man,must be a real master of his lightsaber.
He walked over to Johnathan bowing he introduced himself,"Master Jedi,I am Captain Antilles of the Onderonian government,her majesty the Queen wishes to see you as soon as you are ready,she will be willing to accept your audience whenever you wish to meet her."he bowed,again,and ordered a couple of foot soldiers to tend to the bodies,and fill out a report.
Johnathan nodded,"Would you like to come with me to the Royal Palace?"he asked,"Of course,you should pack your things,I doubt I will be long,we should leave out tomorrow for the Jedi Temple."he added to his own question,technically now she was his padawan,and he was her Jedi Master,but they still had to have it okay'd by the council,he looked forward to having a student,especially if it were her.
He began to lead her out of the Cantina,calling his cloak to his right hand with the force,he rolled it up and carried it under his arm.

Arya nodded, smiling at Johnathan.
"I hope so..."
She says timidly.
"...it's not typically my style to go out on a limb and trust someone like this."
She bites her lip a bit, sighing.
"I'm honestly not sure I could or even would do this alone."
She says at a whisper, abruptly silencing herself as a soldier approaches them. She remains quiet, just listening. Really? Was she seriously putting herself in such a position as to be going into some diplomatic meeting with a... a... a Jedi?! Diplomacy wasn't her thing, never had been, never would be, it just wasn't in her genetic make up. She much preferred agressive negotiations. She knew she could never be some cookie cutter, ugly brown robe wearing Jedi, and if they tried to make her one... that would be it for her. She may have this so called Jetii magic... but she certainly didn't have to use nor embrace it. Her personality and sense of self meant more to her than most things, simply because for a long time, they were all she had. No family, no home, no friends... nothing. Her individuality was the one thing she would cling to, the one bit of herself she refused to change for these Jetii she was going to meet. Arya's thoughts are interupted, as she hears Johnathan now addressing her once more. She smiles softly and nods.
"Yes, I'll go with you... and as for packing..."
She chuckles, adjusting the bag on her shoulder.
"... everything I own is in this bag. I guess you could say I travel light?"
She says with a smirk, following him out of the Cantina and into the street. Walking along with him, she watches him, noting the grace of his movements. He was obviously a very regal, intelligent, and well known man... he could of chosen any one he wanted to to help, but for some reason he'd chosen her. She didn't know much of this "Johnathan Kenobi", but somehow she could tell they were going to have multiple things in common, and even though she was as scared now, as she had ever been, she somehow found herself excited and nervous about what lied in wait for her. She didn't know what to expect, or to think, but one thing she knew for certain, was that at this moment... her life wasn't in some out of control spiral... no, she had made a conscious decision, and had taken control of her life again; and good or bad result, feeling in control of her own destiny once more... meant the world to her.

He smiled,and as they made there way through the city,he noticed that she watched him,but didn't say anything,he led her to the sky ramp going through the checkpoints to get to the royal palace,when they finally arrived he was directly taken into the throne room,he gave her a bow,"M'lady."he addressed her.
"Master Kenobi."she said,nodding.
"Not Master yet,m'lady."he said,"But thank you."he added and then the began to discuss the cleaning up and having the planet Jedi Affiliated intead of emperialized,they eventually came to a conclusion,that the planet would be ran by its on government,and would welcome Jedi whenever they were passing by,or if there was some war. Soon they were leaving,"Good thing you pack light,I don't want to stay here anymore,all of this dip--"he caught himself,"I miss the peacefulness of the order."He finished,soon they were at his ship,he was checking things out. "Are you ready to go? Or is there anything you want to do before leaving?"he asked.

Arya has a hard time not laughing, as she has a strong feeling that the word he cut short was "diplomacy." She knew full well that she wasn't the diplomatic kind, and if this Jetii planned to try and make her a diplomat, then she was out! Her identity was the one thing that had been consistent in her life, and she wasn't about to give that up now. Smirking, she speaks, a bit quieter than before.
"You have to travel light when you live in my world, life doesn't allow for many belongings. Seems I'm always uprooting myself and looking for a new direction."
As they walk, the breezes fluttering through her hair and through the delicate feathers of her wings sends a subtle chill down her spine. Shivering, she hides a sigh, then looks back to Johnathan.
"I still don't know why you want to help me. I'm nothing more than a winged freak, a bird with a body if you will. Everyone tells me I'm odd or freakish, shouldn't you want to think the same?"

He fights himself from telling her what he really thinks about her,and settles with placing his hand on her shoulder in a calming way,"You are not a beast,you are beautiful in your own way,everyone is.."he says,then steps out of the way to let her board his ship,"I want to help you,because you remind me of someone I knew long ago.."He says,hiding that he saw alot of himself in her,he gave her a simple smile.

Arya offers Johnathan a smile as his hand rests against her shoulder, a faint blush hitting her cheeks. She wasn't used to being respected, and complimented, so she wasn't sure quite how to react.
"Thank you..."
She finally manages with a slightly bowed head. As he motions her into his ship, she takes a silent breath, knowing that once she makes these final steps into his ship there was no turning back. She hoped she wouldn't regret accepting his help, and she hoped he really was whom he said he was, even though somehow subconsciously she knew he really was sincere. Making her way into his ship, she glances around.
"Wow..."
She says without thinking.
"This sure beats the rickety public transport I've been hopping from place to place on."

John gained a grin,it took all he had not to laugh,"Well..luxury is very nice,she still has it where it counts.."he said,his mando'a side kicking in,he hides the want to brag about his ship,and walks to the bridge,activating the engines and the thrusters,taking off he contacts the tower which clears him for exit.
