Tempest Saga - Hoth

[Shadow Master Derja]

Derja had turned his course, to an old base that had been a Rebel stronghold way back in time, It had been dead and empty for a very long time, and almost everything had been frozen over, but to his Shadow teachings. They were able to adept to the ice, and the freezing weather that would bear down on them.

Derja's pod safely floated into a frozen over hanger that appeared to be in quite a good condition, the black bubble that was hanging on the back of his pod slowly began to fade, as Genzal was starting to erupt from the black liquid armor that almost infested his body. His glass slowly blew out the compressed air that was inside the chamber, before ejecting itself off the top of the pod.

Derja stubbled out of the pod, and gave a good look around the hanger, he could see that back in the Rebel wars, that there was still some ships that they didn't get to, they were frozen in place with ice spikes hanging off below them. Thoughts ran through his head, as he roamed into a cave like hall that ran from hanger to a large drop down of the inside base, echoes of machines bursted through the ice as he got closer to the chamber. He went up a slight slope, to enter a room that seemed to be well heated from the inside, as computers had still been working all this time, It seemed they were drawing power off the planets energy, he found this to be quite interesting considering the Empire hadn't gotten to it first.

His walk continued through into the next ice hall, many entrances were blocked with debris from the past wars, but that could all be fixed within time. Only taking slight glances into some rooms, just to get an idea if it would hold his base in the end, many rooms that held up to ten well placed frozen beds, with blankets that seemed to be like ice almost. This could hold his students in the end, after they learned to adept with the weather, but what of the defenses of this old base?

Derja continued walking till he popped out the other side of the base, that came into an almost full circle. He could see turrets that would need constant manual watching, but security wouldn't be hard to find so it was no problem. He could also see that there was grid within the wall next to him, that could create a shield around the top of it, and this caught his attention quite quickly. It was decided that this would be his base indeed.

His walk continued out into the snow, as he began to do circles with his body and eyes, the base seemed to be almost of a bowl shape, that didn't really raise up into walls, but the shield he saw before in the archives, protected the base from being destroyed quicker by the Empire, he found this to be sort of a comfert for possible wars in the future.

Derja stubbled his way into a large portion of the base that he had not been in yet, and it stuck out of the snow and ice quite far, his eyes wandered around the large hollow and empty area of the room, he looked up at the roof that had been made by the ice itself, light poured down through the ice, upon twelve chairs that were set up for a council like chamber, perhaps this was where the Jedi council would meet at times? He felt quite excited, cause to him this was apart of history, that he would now get to take over.

Derja stubbled up the steps slowly, he took a gaze down at the middle cup like chair that was bolted in before him, he used his little claw like hands to pull hiimself up onto the chair, he turned around and faced the entrance of the base. The atmosphere around him began to change slowly, as a flash back of another Jedi who was just like him, It looked like Master Yoda from the jedi archives, but why would these visions come to him?

Derja fell off the chair in a sudden back pain, his little claws began to swing violently at the air, the pupils of his eyes began to change through various colors untill it reached a half black and half blue type mix. After the pain left, he could notice a major diffrence in his posture and stance, he slowly pushed himself to his feet and noticed the arch in his back had been healed, he also felt a bit taller now that he wasn't slouching so much. Derja started his walking down the steps to notice it was much better, but how was this so? What had changed within him to make him so much healthier looking, was it something in this old base?

Derja began to try his luck with the force, to see if it was not only his posture that had been fixed or charged up, his attention turned to a large metal stripping off one of the walls, he used his third claw finger to pick it up, giving it a bit of a bend with just a flick of his wrist, It almost seemed that something had been unlocked with inside him. He had lost connection with the force at one point in his life, and since that time he had slowly began to recover his true extent, perhaps what had just happened was his flashback drew out a memory of the force, that unleashed a chain reaction for the void in his life force to heal up.

[Shadow Master Derja]

The galaxy around Derja opened up yet again for him, the heart beats of it became ever so louder, he could feel disturbances and graces from all over the galaxy, he left his base for Dantooine which would strengthen his feel of the force, twice of what it was right now. Derja hobbled across the snow, untill his reach the side of his open pod, his claws grappled onto the side of the pod, before lifting himself into it. He had crouch a bit, but he took off into flight and out into the sky, where Genzal was left behind to watch over the base.
