"... It's about time you ended this foolishness, Saito. All criminals must be tried before the courts. It's not the jedi way to simply kill."
"Who ever said that I was still jedi?" Saito whispered, revealing his darkened form from the shadows, golden eyes shining in the darkness. "Will you try to bring me back, or will I not need the body bag for you and your master."
"Aoshi... step back. You're still not ready to fight him." Kenshin whispered, stepping forward. "No matter what powerful jedi lineage you have, he's beyond you for now."
"... Hai, Himura-sama." the 15 year old Aoshi whispered, moving behind Kenshin.
"It's been a long time, Battosai. I hope your skills haven't faded."
"Same to you, mibu wolf. Damned, you and your heir, whoever he may be."
"... It's she, Himura-san..." a voice whispered from the darkness. "And... this 'damned' heir's going to tear your heir apart within five minutes if you take your eyes off him for a second. It's too bad, killing the tall, dark and bishounen types, but I guess... that's what you get... for being sith."
And she walked from the darkness, Kenshin crying out.
"Grey Wolf?!" he yelled, eyes wide.
"Himura-sama, you know this girl?" Aoshi quickly asked.
"Sh... she's... she's my daughter."

Domo sat back in the council chair and put his fingers together, resting them on his chest.
"....We need to be careful who we train as Jedis. I don't feel great about young Anakin but he is still young and may change. Saito, however, must pay for his crimes with death, though I really don't like seeing another one die.....", Domo said as continued sitting, feeling the great Force in the air.

((No, you can stay. Just, make sure when you switch to another place but it's still the same time, you say "Meanwhile" or something like that. If the time changes, use --- lines.))

"Although I agree that he, as sith, must be defeated, whether or not he is executed is up to the courts to decide." Shinji said, drumming his fingers on the armrest. Himura Kenshin and his heir-Shinji's little brother- were already an hour late and counting.

Ghost sighed. "I grow weary of this wait... I hope they those two will hurry along." He quietly tapped his foot on the floor, boredom beginning to set in.

"They are coming in due time. I believe they were going to be a little late from what I heard but I'm not positive.", Domo said as he stood up. "I am going to the restroom as I was gonna wait but they aren't here yet."

Shinji slowly nodded, looking off into the distance.
"Aoshi, you are not to fight Saito. He's far older and stronger than you are, and he knows far too much about the dark side for me to be comfortable with him even being taken in for questioning, much less fighting my only brother. I don't want to lose you the way we lost dad... ok?"
"But I'm strong enough, Shinji! I can beat him, you just have to let me prove it to you!"
"No, Aoshi. You... promise me... that any fighting with Saito... will be handled by Himura."
"But Shinji-"
"Aoshi..."
"... Alright... Always treated like a little kid, that's what I am. I'm strong, Shinji, you just won't let me prove it to you."
"You are strong for your age, Aoshi-"
"Strong for my age isn't good enough anymore, not with Sith running amock and havoc starting to tear at the peaceful era once again! I can't just be 'strong for my age', I have to be STRONG! I can't... I can't be the only..." Aoshi struggled to say the last words, fighting back his emotions as he tightly clenched his fists.
"... Weak one?" Shinji whispered, Aoshi looking up slowly before nodding.
"You aren't weak. And you have nothing... nothing to prove."
"... You're wrong, brother. I have everything to prove. I'll show you, and I'll show them all... I'll show them all."
Shinji slowly took Aoshi into his arms. "Little bro, little bro... please stop crying..." he whispered, looking down at Aoshi and trying to wipe away the prideful tears that were staining Aoshi's cheeks.
"... I will, bro... I'll show them all."
He slowly pulled away from Shinji, standing and wiping away his tears, turning to the door. "You'll see, bro. I'm not a disgrace to father's name. Just wait."

Domo strolled back in, robes waving behind him and walked over to his council chair, sitting and closing his eyes to sense for Dark Force.

Shinji was about to stand, but a transmission interrupted him and the rest of the council. A miniature Aoshi((*squeeeeeeee*)) appeared on the desk, blood dripping down off his clothes. "Backup! We need backup! Kenshin can't beat even Saito's heir, and Saito's far beyond our expectations, he could take out half the council on his own, Kenshin's fighting that girl, I was able to elude Saito- NO!!" He screamed out, a look of horror overtaking his face as maniacal laughter was heard, the hologram flickering.
"Aoshi!" Shinji cried. "Aoshi, I'm coming, just hold on!" he tried to yell.
"Hur-"
There was a scream before the hologram flicked completely off.
Shinji was already heading for the door. "Shinji." Obi wan said.
"He needs backup, Master Kenobi!"
"Not from someone who's emotions are in so much toil right now. Calm yourself, Shinji. Neither anger nor impatience can be used without devastating effect. I'll come with you. We can get them back."
"... Hai..." He slowly whispered, the two of them heading for the door.

Domo stood quickly and put his fingers to his head, talking telepathetically.
"....Hello?"
"....Master?"
"..Yes, Goff, head to the council room immediately. This is a chance to show some of your new found skills.."
"Y-yes, Master..."

"Like I'll let you two go alone." Ghost spoke as he stood.
"Nor will I." Cuth stood, too.

"Alright." Obi wan quickly said, heading towards the cargo bay, Shinji in tow.

They followed Obi Wan and Shinji to the Cargo Bay.

They quickly got in a ship, riding off.

Domo and Goff walked out to where the ship was but it was quickly taking off.
"-_- Just like them to do this....", Domo said, running and grabbing onto the taill just in time, Goff in tow. They pulled themselves up to standing while Domo pulled out his saber and cut a small hole in the ship, careful not to cut any crucial wires. He jumped down but Goff slipped, falling on top of him.
"Get off, Padawan..."
"Y-yes, master.."
Domo walked over to the group.
"Way to leave without me..."

"Your fault for being slow-"
"Shinji..."
"Hai, Kenobi-san..."

"... Way to cut a fucking hole in the ship. Better hope that can be patched before we leave the planet."

" Damn it. I'll get to repairing it..."

"Good. Do it again, and you'll be repairing ships instead of finding sith lords for a month."
"That's better, Shinji."
"Arigato, Kenobi-san."

Domo walked away, cursing to himself.
------
"...Well, I got that hole finished up. We can leave the atmosphere now..."

"About time." Cuth said as he sat down in a seat.

They quickly took off, heading for the sith outpost where Aoshi and Kenshin-hopefully-were alive.

Cuth sighed. "I pray the two are okay..."
Ghost nodded.

They landed on the planet, about 700 meters away from the fight. Shinji could make out three lightsabers, two red ones-surely the sith-attacking Kenshin's green saber mercilessly.
Aoshi's black saber was nowhere in sight.
"Aoshi!" Shinji cried, running towards them.

Cuth quickly followed after him. "Shinji! Slow down! Don't let your emotions cloud your judgement and lead you blindly into a battle!""

Shinji ignored him, running out towards Kenshin and Saito, Grey having broken off from the fight at Saito's command to fight Shinji. She ran towards him, but they both skidded to a stop.
"... Shinomori... -kun. I think your brother could rather use your help right now," she whispered, laughing, even though she'd even recognized the fact that Shinji was most likely her equal.
"You'll pay for what you've done to him."
"I'll pay? You're lucky I decided not to kill him. Decided for my own purposes, but still decided. After all... if Saito were to die... I'd need an heir."
"BULLSHIT!!!" Shinji cried, flying at Grey in a furor, his emotions getting the best of him. He raised the saber, bringing it down upon Grey's. He then swung his left hand behind his back and summoned his other saber from his belt, bringing his arm up still behind his back and bringing it sharply down, turning the lightsaber on as he went and nearly overpowering Grey. They struggled against each other for a moment before Grey used all her strength to throw Shinji back and slash him across the chest, Shinji stumbling back as this happened. She quickly flew at him, getting under his now broken guard and slamming the hilt of her saber into his neck, sending him sharply to the ground, coughing out blood from the amazingly powerful blow.
"H-How-agh..."
"I struck the subclavical vein with all my strength. It's most likely been ruptured. You will die, in short, if you don't immediately get medical attention." She softly laughed, watching as he fell unconscious, his lightsabers shutting off along with his mind. She summoned them to her, putting them in an already nearly full belt, before picking him up.
"... Our duty's been accomplished, Saito." She sent the message telepathically, Saito registering it and jumping back.
"... I'm sorry, but it's nigh time we left. We have more important buisness to attend to, and I daresay that your heir will die if you don't attend to him as well."
"This one will not allow-"
Saito disappeared in front of his eyes, the ramp to their ship closing as Grey ran on. They quickly started taking off.
With Shinji on board.
"Stop them!" Kenshin cried, running towards the ship.

"Those bastards!!!" Ghost yelled out. Too far away to help.

The ship took off into the distance, beyond the help of the Jedi, now.

Cuth watched from the shadows as the two moved around the ship.

"Master, we must hurry or he'll die!"
"I know that, Grey! I'm trying!" Saito said, Shinji lying on a table. The bot went over, but Grey blocked it's way.
"Keep that bot away, he'll hurt him more! Lock it in a closet or something until we can get it repaired!"
"Alright!" Grey said, picking the bot up and throwing it into a closet, locking the door as Saito started working to save Shinji's life.

Cuth waited patiently for them to finish before moving in. Maybe when they were nearly finished...

Saito quickly covered the incision he'd had to make to get to the vein that Grey had ruptured, sighing. "He's alive, Grey."
"... Good. He'll be extraordinary as one of us, I know it. I can feel it flowing in his veins, taste it in his blood. He belongs to the sith."

"... The hell he does." Cuth walked from the shadows, now appearing.

"... Haven't you sensed the rage inside him? It's beyond a shadow of a doubt that he, at the very least, doesn't feel at home as a jedi. He belongs here, with us. You're not taking him away."

"I'll do what I can to get him away. But, if what you say is true... I'll have to kill him once we're away from you."

"It's a worthless waste of life. It's sickening how you kill people for what they are. I understand that sith in general tend to... kill people needlessly... but do not shun us all for the actions of some. We live our way, you live yours. While you have every right to kill us if you want, you have none to judge us." Grey paused for a moment, before saying, "Also... keep in mind that you're the ones who attacked us."

"You sicken me. You don't even know your own history. The Sith started all this mess and you still continue to act like we started hurting you. We helped the people in the galaxy for years... until you attacked... killed many of us. You ruled the galaxy for hundreds of years until we finally managed to beat you. Now we continue our struggle to keep you from doing it again."

"I know what the majority of the sith did. But you don't seem to understand what I'm trying to tell you. We aren't all the same. Just because most of the tau'ri((starGATE, lol)) are christian doesn't mean they all are. We aren't going to kill anyone for our own selfish ideals. We live by one rule: Aku. Soku. Zan. We deal our own kind of justice, the only way justice can be-absolute!"

((Quoteth...

Perhaps that isn't so bad. *sigh*))

"Get out of my way." Cuth replyed as he moved toward Shinji. "I'm not interested in your ideals or any of that crap."

Grey stood between Cuth and Shinji. "I will not let you take him. He should have the right to decide for himself, once he awakens."

Cuth stared her down. "Command me not, Sith."
