Jedi Master Gee-Con or formally know at the Praxeum as Weapons Master, the instructor for Saber training. Lothed Gee-Con just back from a recent battle on Endor, news of the battle traveled around the galaxy quicker than a star jumping ship. The Jedi lost at the battle was a great loss but the day had been won. Loth had taken the week to rest and mend form the climatic battle on Endor. Though now fully mended and ready to resume his duties at the Praxeum.
Having finished a lesson with the younglings Loth received notice from Odon that asked he take over the training of Aleia Dreycon in the way of the Light Saber. Loth Smiled, he heard word about Odon’s new Padawon, older than allowed, and now bringing a Vong back to the Praxeum. He knew this was going to be more than just simple basic training, but he knew it was going to a lil interesting also.
Loth Gee-Con was know for his ability in battle his tact in his commands, but most notable with in the order was Master Gee-Con’s skill with Lightsabers. His ability with the saber is constantly under stipulation amongst the Jedi, for who besides Loth Gee-Con is the best at it.
He wore the classic Jedi robes, brown and beige in color. He stood an impressive 6”3 with broad muscular shoulders. He would be best described as a Brawny Brawler but it’s his size and height that most under estimate his agility, his rhythmic flow with his attacks.
He dismissed the class from their daily routine, the cheered and rushed off to their rooms eager to play before dinner. Rubbing his rough stubbly chin he smirked. This gave him a nice opportunity. Quickly he made his way to the medical unit. He planned to introduce himself to Aleia and get a glance at the stranger she arrived with...
He stopped just at the door going them a seconds to finish their last thoughts before he knocked on the door. He waited for a brief second and walked into the room. “Feeling Better Palawan?” he smiled “Master Baas has requested that I am to be in charge of your Saber training.” He said with a slight bow before taking a quick glance at the new arrival and back to Aleia for her response.

The light tap on the door was enough to stop all conversation for the moment. Her eyes opened wide as the Jedi Master walked in and asked how she was doing. Well, wasn't she popular today? Still he was going to teach her lightsaber combat and that intrigued her intrest. Rau took a step back and to the side and as if on que the medical droid came up and started to remove the tube from their arms.
"I am better Master Jedi.." She gave a slight node to him. Not really sure how to respond to him. After all, the last Jedi Master wanted to kill her new friend and questioned her as well. The droid checked her readouts and moved towards the Jedi.
"Despite my clear orders, young Dreycon has refused the Bacta treatment, but should be able to leave here today. The Jedi healers and the blood has helped her greatly."
The mechanicl voice exempted before he left to tend to other things he was programed to.
"I will not harm her...and I wish to...learn.." Rau spoke finially, just as several other Jedi Knights entered. One walked up and bowed to Master Gee-Con and bowed respectfully to him before comming any closer to Aleia and Rau.
"The Council wishes to test you..Follow us.."
It was clear it was an order and Aleia gave a worried look that the young knight caught. She didn't want him to go, afarid she wouldn't see him again.
"Do not worry Padawan.. No one will harm him and you will see him again soon." He gave the girl an encouraging smile and motioned for Rau to come with them.
"Rau..." She started to say.
"I must go with them. Do not fear for me..." He replied sternly and gave her his back as he walked out with them. Leaving herself alone now with the Sabre Master. Aleia didn't say anything for several minutes. Feeling her face redden with embaresment that she would care about such a creature.
"I am sorry.. He.. he's my friend..."

Loth held his own opinions about the Vong but the Vong was not in his current orders and so it was Loth’s opinion not to have one about the strange being, funny how a soldier’s mind works. But Master Gee-Con did give one of the other Jedi’s that escorted Rau out, a look and a nod suggestion that Loth was to be notified any news of the Vong. It was not for his curiosity but he could see the bond the two shared. He needed her thoughts on her training and not her new found friend. So he would have hourly updates of Rau’s progresses.
“Refused treatment” He chuckled tilting his head gauging the young lady. ‘Maybe there is something about this one’ He thought to himself. He moved to the side of her bed his robe catching the foot of the bedding, peeling back his cloak showing his 2 light sabers hung on each hip.
“The droid says you should be ok to leave?” He gave her a quizzical look.
“When you are ready meet me in the south training hall, I will understand should you want more rest, but once you enter the hall leave all distractions at the door, I need your mind clear and ready to soak in knowledge”
He smiled again
“I am Master Gee-Con, and the pleasure is defiantly all mine, I shall wait your visit.”
He gave a soft bow again and made his way out of the room and to the hall he would wait.

(New CHapter...yea .. I know.. I really need to break them. but meh)
Her body was still sore, yet that never had stopped her from before. Aleia thought she would have had to stay in the infernal place longer then expected, but then again the Jedi Healers did work on her. Or perhaps it was Rau's blood that had helped.
Probably both.
She said to herself as a young padawan of about ten walked into the room. He gave her a strange look and then a smile as he brought her in a fresh set of clothes. Aleia gave him a questionable look and the boy just grinned.
"Master Odon said you would be needing these soon.." His young voice piped up with a breaking squeak. She thanked him and the boy quickly ran out to head to whatever he had next on his list. With a sigh she had the droid help her stand.. after it annoyed her to no end from pestering her. Aleia dressed as quickly as she could, but left the outter robe off. Carrying it over her shoulder she took slow steps towards the door. Tucking her hair back she walked out into the hall and was suprised that the Jedi Master was really there waiting for her.

The door swished open and the young Aleia entered the room. Loth was slightly shocked; he did not expect her till morning and was going to patient give the night to mediation. This would prove much more fun.
The training hall was circular with a peaked roof, the walls were padded and some had control panels and some were locker doors. The middle of the roof sunk into the floor step by step to the bottom, like a circle staircase on all sides. With more then enough room to run on the sides near the walls. Everything padded from the floor to the roof.
Loth sat cross legged straight opposite to Aleia. “So you have been in combat before no?” He pointed to her new wounds and before she could answer he continued. “But combat with a lightsaber?”
He knew the answer already, just wanted her to state the admitting. He pointed to the middle of the room on the bottom level, there laid a training saber. “Grab it” He said loudly “Turn it on wave it around ... gain the sense of its weight it your hand. ... Get use to this weapon, it is yours till I say further”.

She had opened her mouth to answer both his questions when he just continued on. Aleia rolled her shoulders forward and only shut her mouth as he would direct her to go get the lightsaber. Her eyes opened with shock that he said the weapon would be hers for now.
Without a word she walked carefully over towards it. Feet pressing gently into the padded floor she paused and reached out to grasp the cool metal hilt. The young women's eyes opened lighty as she pulled it back. Her thumb feeling the carefull grooves from previous owners as she turned around to face her instructor.
"I never thought that one day I would be so lucky to even hold something such as this."
Her voice poured out cooly, but with a great understanding that it wasn't a toy to play with. Aleia pointed the emmiter away from herself and found the activation button. Out shot a brilliant green blade longer then her arm. The reconisable hum of the weapon poured out like a gentle stream. Flickering her wrist she moved the blade back and forth, judging it's weight and movment as she was told.
"I thought the blade itself would be heavy... but I understand now that it really is pure energy.."

“Yes, very light, very fast, A Jedi’s friend in need”
He slowly rose to his feet and let his cloak slip off his back and left it clumped on the floor. “We shall not waste our time on attack routines, styles, counters, nothing.” He stepped to the edge of the top level “No offence till you can prove to me you are able to survive”
His eyes narrowed on the lower padawon, from his hip his Saber roared alive flying into his right hand. He waved the Orange saber in the air. “Prepare to defend yourself!”
He leaped using the force to move quickly in front of her. His swing came from over head down onto her. He did not plan to go all out... but to test her reflexes and her natural instinct to stay alive. If she was more in tune she would recognize that the feeling was the force warning her.
But he would be happy to have her block a few attacks, he wielded his normal Saber and so he was cautious not to make contact, but would hold himself short of the blow

The snap-hiss of the Jedi Masters weapon startled her. Eyes openeing wide as he told her to defend herself. He didn't even give her the time to even say no as he leapt up at her.
Aleia had thought he would teach her forms or other basic begginer lessons. Years though of being threw hardships and beatings caused her muscles to react before her mind. She swung the weapon up at a forty-five degree angle and met his blade halfway. The climatic crackle filling the air as Aleia felt her heart thump against her breast. A slight huff was then heard from the entry way. The Sulleston Jedi Master from earlier was standing there watching them. More importantly her.
"Very well done Padawan..." Akari stated with dry distaste in his words. Aleai took a step back and lowered her weapon.
Looks as if Counciel is out. She thought as the Sulleston took another couple steps towards them.
"I would hope you understand Master Gee-Con that..girl needs to be watched very carefully." He almost gave away his even greater distaste. Aleia licked her lower lip as she waited for more hurtfull words. "She is more of a risk then the Vong she brought here.. Don't get too attached to the student.. I doubt she will be here long enough..." He pasued and eyes the girl for a moment more. "Even if she makes it.. I will be watching..."

Loth was displeased by Akari interuptance. He wanted no interuptions.
He stared at Akari with a look of detest. Thanks for your visit good Master, but I have been placed in charge of this Padawan's saber training and I shall do So .. IN PRIVATE .. untill ordered not to by the Jedi Council." He sheathed his humming Saber. "Now please Good Master leave us to our training"
He stood fierce and unmoving, till Akari had left.
Your reflexes and so called insticnt are all signs from the force. Let your feelings goo let your thoughts clear .. feel the pull of the force, know that it will guild you to safety.
He reached into his belt precuring a remote. "Around this room are pain delivering stun guns.You are to last 15 mins and not get hit more than 3 times" He pressed a button on the remote, and 15 different guns positoned on the walls and roof poped out of their holes.
He moved to her side and pressed a different button starting the program, but it was Loth that jumped infront of her and started to deflect the shots that came at him. He twisted and twirled in a complete boastfull fashion. Then he stopped his flipping and jumping and went to a basic defensive stance, he held the sabre with 2 hands and would work it from up/down to side/side motions deflecting the shots.
"Such a stance is your basic defensive stance. You can always revert to the stand stance when you cant figure out your enemy's strength or weakness. Watch you hand eye corordination, but more so Let your feelings soar, listen for the force and follow."
'Now Your Turn, do well and we'll go blindfolded", he chuckled and he pressed the start button once more.

SHe was relieved when the Jedi Sulleston had left the room. Somehow she had the feeling that he would never accept her as a true Jedi. At least it wasn't on his sole choice that she got to stay here. Her attention was then brought back as Gee-Con intrupted her thoughts.
Aleia watched then as the remotes spun into the room and how easy he made it look to deflect each bolt that took aim at her. The rythmatic pull she felt from his movments reminded her almost like a dance. When he moved back and showed her the defensive stance she mimicked him.
"I don't see how I am to feel what you say. I just reacted. I never think on how my body moves..."
She clamped her jaw shut when he gave her a look that told her she was feeling it. Aleia just never knew it. Giving a small "oh" she picked up her weapon and drew into the stance that he was in once more. It wasn't long wen the first bolt raced forward and instantly she reacted. Snapping up the lightsaber to her right she watched in amasment as she actually deflected it. Face being illuimnated she didn't have time to say anything as she got pinged in her back left thigh. Yiping in pain she leapt to the right and rolled her shoulders foward as another training bolt came at her.
Ok.. just do what he says.. you can do this.
Aleia thought to herself as she brought the blade down a forty-five degree angle and deflected the bolt. It wisked away as her concentraion drew in. More bolts came at her and the girl just relaxed. Picturing herself swinging a bat at rocks like she did once so many years ago. The girl thought of it like a game as she deflected more of them and even jumped up to avoid one, as she carlessly swung to slow.

He walked around the top ring of the room with his saber in his hand watching Aleia negotiate the lower rungs of the room. He was surprised by her quick mind, she caught on so quickly, and it was normal for a student to only block a few but suffer welts from the stun guns. This padawan had proved to be more than a youngling could do with the minimal training she had received, Loth was now starting to understand why Master Baas would take on the young woman as he padawan.
‘Perhaps she needs more of a challenge’ he mused to himself while he continued to circle the top level. Master Gee-Con also knew that the stun guns fired on a rotating firing program. So those who found this easy soon caught on to the rhythm of the shots. It was time to turn up the heat on the lil miss below.
In a flash his saber jumped to live again in it’s brilliant orange color. He moved to the opposite side of the hall, positioning himself just behind Aleia, he then turned hit the remote sending a few extra turrets to open up and start firing on him. He played for a bit deflecting shots around the room.
“You are very skills young one,” He said not missing a beat in his combative routine. “It is time to turn up the level of your training!” He said loudly as he shifted his footing and stance. “Beware more are coming your way!” He warned, “Feel with your mind. Keep it clear and wait for the tug.”
He started to deflect the extra shots at her. All turrets still firing on her and the extra turrets firing at Master Gee-Con who in turn deflected them at Aleia.
“At the very best if you cant deflect then move! roll jump dodge .. The entire Hall is at your mercy,” He said deflecting another pain rendering shot at her.

“At the very best if you cant deflect then move! roll jump dodge .. The entire Hall is at your mercy,” He said deflecting another pain rendering shot at her.
She thought he was joking but then felt a sting against her arm as it was apparent that things were really heating up. Her body was sore but pushing her body farther only added to that fact tht she was enjoying it. Nevr one to stop despit the odds comming at her she did as he called out to her.
Slashing the blade up she blocked three bolts that the Jedi Master had aimed at her. Immedatly then dropping to the ground and rolling to the right. Her weapon pointed out above her as she felt something approaching her and was rewarded with a swing and the sound of the blaster bolt whizzing away.
"How.. long?"
She asked, leaping up intot he air to avoid another attack. Only having to slash downward to her right side at an odd angle to deflect another attack.

“A student doesn’t ask when?” He said sternly He raced around the top deflected a couple more bolts her way. He was fast and agile, his ability was masterful “When you understand the lesson will it be done”
He sneered, Loth was raised to listen to your betters, it always what’s made him such a might within the Jedi Order. But she was neither him nor was he she. His brilliant browns eyes softened, how careless he thought. He was getting into a rhythm of attack and maybe going a little far. He smiled
“Do your reflexes act on their own? is it just basic instinct that you move your saber to defend yourself. You must trust me padawan the force speaks strongly in you but you choose to dismiss its call.” He deflected 3 more all at once at her. “This is your lesson!”
He hit the button on the remote ceasing all activity. “Do you require rest? Or something slower? Hmm”
The orange saber burned out within the metal hilt and back to his hip. Master Gee-Con walked down the stairs to where she stood. “I have misjudged your injuries?”

"I don't know.. I don't even think when it comes to this..." SHe snapped back. Aleia was no little child and she wasn't going to let him chide her. Yet she would be respectfull to him. Aleia leapt up and swung her blade in an arc, deflecting one of the bolts that he had aimed at her. Instantly she scowled and swung down and then to the right, deflecting the three more he had shot at her.
When she landed she spun to the right and caught one more before he stopped the remotes and looked at her. Aleia stood, breathing hard but nontheless fine.
"No Master.. I am fine.."
Her basic answer for all his questions. The girl then deactivated the weapon as she wasn't using it and didn't want to have it out like a toy.
"I ache.. but it is nothing I haven't endured before. Besides.. a Jedi even injured still keeps going to finish the mission..."

“Spoken as though it was me speaking” he chuckled “That is the correct answer.” He smiled back at her as he moved back to the middle of the hall on the button most level. “A battle will not cease to be a battle cause you are injured or sore”
He did not mean to come off to be a bully or chiding her. Master Loth Gee-Con had a point he wanted to make. It could be the years of hardened war and battles that made him rough around the corners and not so much the people person.
“You gasp well to the defensive, but let us work on some basic attack routines, and we’ll go from there” He hit the remote once more and a second training saber sprung out from the floor into Loth’s waiting grasp. The dull blue hue hummed from the training blade.
“Now let us start you off with something easy” He moved and stood in an offensive stance, both legs slightly apart, he balanced his weight on each foot, and stood on the balls of his feet ready to pounce on any open opportunity.
“We shall start with the basic High attack” He lifted his saber above his head and controlled it with both hands. “This stance and routine has many names, one that I called the Falcons reach”
He started to mock attack Aleia with the high saber, bringing it straight down on her then from the top to each side. “these are you open basic attacks, But having the saber up high can also be use as a defense stance. He mocked a high block and a swooping low parry always returning to the high stance.
“Now attack! Me” he said eagerly
