Scar strode back and forth upon Gaia as it exited hyperspace. There was no transition with Gaia's movement through hyperspace, it was smooth like it was meant to be. The massive ship's black skin was almost invisible against the black of space. He knew where they were, not far away from Metellos but what he didn't know was the person he had aboard. What fate he would do with her. She had potential but what would he do with her.... would he teach her? He hadn't taken an apprentice in many years and the last one had grown a 'consciousness' so he had sent her on an assignment on the furthest reaches of space never expecting her to return. They both knew that she'd run, and indeed she had, but this one....
Scar walked towards his guests room and the wall formed a second door for him as he walked into the guest room looking over the room Gaia had created for her. He approved, most of it looked to be of a black opaque material.
"Well we have almost arrived, and I was wondering since you've had plenty of time to think about what you saw. Tell me what you think of the force, and the Darkside as the Jedi call it. What do you know of this hidden potential. I'm not going to lie to you, and I can promise you that. I will never lie, all power comes at a price." said Scar as he let the illusion upholding his physical nature drop. He looked like a rotting corpse as only his eye sockets remained looking unnatural in his skull. They looked like they had been plucked from a living person and placed into a skull that had a scratch running up from the side of the mandible all the way up to where an ear should have been.
Scar lifted a gauntlet a hand grasping slowly, clasping it together and then from his hand he produced a red crystal. "I have a spare lightsaber crystal if you would like but it would change your lightsaber color. It means little but its yours if you want it."

Sitting there meditation on her thoughts and what she saw flashes of memories flooded her mind, her training with her mother, her brothers relaxed moments when they spared and she lost every time. She could still hear those words that Sam said It's not your skill that is to question it's your training. It's one thing to mentally prepare, but quite another to prepare the body. Sera continually to think upon those words and still she could not grasp it's meaning. Sera became frustrated letting her emotions run wild It's not possible how can Sam best me so easily when he has not learned the ways of the force The only solution Sera could come to is to become more powerful in the force.
Feeling Scar's presence behind her she calmed her thoughts as he directed a question regarding light and dark. Sera has had much time to ponder the meaning of light and dark sides of the force. Sera responds back to Scar with a mild tone of voice like when one has seen the truth. The so called “light and dark” are just illusions of power, the force knows not whats good or evil it's up to the person to decide for themselves. Furthermore one cannot blindly follow onside of the coin to gain enlightenment.
Sera stands up and faces Scar seeing his grotesque nature, but this didn't bother Sera, she saw that Scar produced a red lightsaber crystal and offers it to her. Sera lifts up her hand in a motion of rejection A lightsaber reflects who you are, as dose it's colour, I have not changed so I have no need for it.

“Quite an interesting view, most do not hold that kind of view. The Jedi or those of the old code would view you as a Dark Jedi if they were to hear such words from an upstart youth like yours. But you remind me of someone I met once. He was an interesting fellow viewing both sides of the spectrum as a whole, though he was the last of his kind and unfortunately, that view of the force has died out with him. There are no more “Kumori” to my knowledge, the Mandalorians have picked up a bit of the mantle but they have twisted the meaning to their own cause,” said Scar as he clasped his hand back together and stored the crystal back onto his decorative golden gauntlet.
‘I feel frustration from this one. A great deal.’ Chipped in Gaia to both of their minds no longer shielding herself from the newcomer. ‘We are about to arrive on Metellos, where do you want me to take you?’
“To one of the Skyhooks, she is to be my guest and receive hospitality while she makes her decision,” said Scar looking up as if the ship had a face on the ceiling. ‘I sense someone with ill will towards you is waiting.’
“No matter, they will be dealt with. Now Sera, you see how necessary the Darkside of the force is. No doubt you’ve begun to unravel some of the truths of the force. When a Sith Lord chooses to recover from battle does he not rely on the healing arts that the Jedi call the Lightside? Do not the Sith and Jedi draw their energy from the same source? That source is the energy field that connects us all, and that we call the Force. If you already understand this fundamentally, then you know that the Jedi way was made to restrict you, and the Sith way to free you. Don’t get me wrong, some people should never be free of their shackles for they wreak destruction everywhere they go…”

Sera had always question the fact that if a Sith Lord was to be wounded in combat how was he able to get back up, she knew that there were several healing trances taught by the Jedi but to be used by a Sith Lord. There Sera remembered about reading about Sith Alchemy but all records were lost on it. Sera didn't mention this to Scar and realized that some mysteries should be solved by yourself to grow stronger.
Also when Sera herd mention of Kumori's she heard in data pads but nothing specific just that they view both sides of the spectrum like “grey Jedi's”. Scar if I may ask, I've been trying to wrap a phrase around my head for quite sometime, me and my brother always sparred and everytime he would win and each time he would tell me “It's not your skill that is to question it's your training. It's one thing to mentally prepare, but quite another to prepare the body “ what dose he mean by that.

"Interesting for him to say. It's a phrase I both agree with and disagree with. That's the problem with such mantras. Everyone gets something different out of them. It's dangerous," said Scar as he thought of an example. "Yes, the Kumori once had a code and it sparked a full fledged war and sent a rift between them. One believed from this particular line in their code meant they had to make everyone unified in order for there to be balance, while the other side believed before manipulating anything else you needed to be yourself in balance."
"So they waged a war that lasted years only to prove what? Which side was wrong?" asked Scar shaking his head. It just reminded him of the stupidity of all sentinet races, something that he no doubt shared.
'Your brother believes one must prepare their body, just knowing something doesn't mean anything if you can't do it. I know hyperspace travel is possible, but unless I had tried many times I would have never figured out how to do it,' came Gaia's voice.
"I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to sword's play. Why? The force inflicts so much more than a lightsaber could ever hope to achieve. There's a certain... well I can't quite explain it," said Scar pulling out his lightsaber for a moment to look at it. He then clicked it back onto his utility belt within his robes and looked at her. "Regardless you should learn that codes and creeds are ever only ways to control the masses into doing something. It's mass hypnosis and brainwashing at its finest."

OOC: Just wondering this Scar fellow all relation to Scar from FMAB
Sera was curious of the Kumori but she knew that this was not the time nor the place to go probing Scar for further information especially since it sounded like he despised them. While listening to Gaia's understanding of her brothers words suddenly it all clicked together. she would need to train her body the same way Sam had, but she knew nothing of martial arts. Scar in addition to training me in the ways of the force could you also train me in martial arts? Sera asked not really knowing what to expect from him in that regard.
Sera had hoped that her brother had made it off the station safely a quick flashback flew before her eyes seeing Sam train non stop also seeing that he too was a perfectionist in his martial arts.

OOC nope no relation though now that you mention it they both have head scars. xD
“Well that is a must, when facing someone stronger in the force it’s usually a wise to press your advantage with a blade. Generally, most people tend to focus on one or the other. There are only select few that master both,” said Scar as he lifted his gauntlet and the faint whisper of the ancient sith language could be heard as his illusion popped back up so that none would know the wiser.
‘We’ve arrived,’ came Gaia’s voice with a hint of sadness. No doubt the ship had strong feelings for Scar whether he would admit to the same was another question. Their bond had formed over ten long years of force connection. At first the bond had been shaky prone to elevated fits feeling and with Scar having forgotten how to ‘feel’ it had made any shared emotion that much more powerful for Scar had forgotten Pain, Excitement, and all the other emotions that follow.
Scar lead them to through twisting hallways until they reached the edge of the ship, where Gaia had already morphed to the landing platform. The Sun was coming over the horizon and looking out from the skyhook one could see the vast cityscape below them. Most building’s didn’t even reach over two stories tall unlike Coruscant but large strata-blocks in the distance towered over the population kind of like a ‘big brother.’ Watching over everything its little siblings did.
A tall and skinny man approached in a lab coat, he seemed distant as if his mind were on other matters. Scar held out a hand and a datapad was produced and handed to him. He seemed to go over it for a time and then handed it back.
“Excellent Tigaro, how long before we can mass produce it for our security force?” asked Scar as he closed his eyes for a moment waiting for the answer. Tigaro’s eyes flickered over to Sera for a moment and if she was watching she would see a brief sorrow pass through his eyes before hardening again.
“By the end of the week we could have all our security in the building able to take it, and in a month’s time trained on how to wield it with efficiency,” said Tigaro and at Scar’s hand wave he left turning abruptly on one heel and walking away. Scar smirked seemingly more to himself than anyone else.
“Come let’s see about some of this martial training of yours,” said Scar leading her through the Skyhook through laboratories, gardens, and living quarters until he opened a room with a passcard he produced from his robe. The room was mostly plain except for lightsaber scar’s all along the walls though it was less wounded than one might expect. “A Training room coated with Cortosis and Beskar, makes lightsabers not ruin the whole room when practicing,” said Scar walking about the room and drawing his lightsaber activating the red blade. “So what forms do you know? I assume you were taught at least the very basics of lightsaber forms… Shii Cho?”

Sera too Scars words to heart and realizing if one is to become stronger in the mind than the body had to keep up. She followed him to the loading ramp Sera shielded her eyes a bit from the suns raises at they beamed into the ship. After her eyes had adjusted she could see the vast cityscape of Metellos Sear grew up on a small colony world of Phu where majority of the planet was cliffs and canyons. As Sear stared out into the horizon she almost missed a man in a lab coat approach them, in a brief moment Sear could see a glint of sorrow in the man's eyes and just as quickly was washed away.
When Scar beckoned Sera to follow and mentioning martial arts to her in a tone that suggested he wanted to spar with her she she tilts her head looking away from him but still managing to see ahead. Well the thing is I don't really know a whole lot of martial arts, it was mostly Sammy that knew. When they passed through the laboratories and gardens Sera was trying to remember the fighting stances that Sam uses. Finally entering the training room Sear could see several lightsaber scars lining the room.
Seeing Scar draw her lightsaber she did the same igniting a green blade I do know of shii-Cho, and even a bit of Soresu but not much. Sera gets into a sloppy form of Soresu

"You prefer the defense then, that is ok but you must remember to strike as well," said Scar as he brought his lightsaber forward fully expecting her to block the blow. Lightsabers hissed as they collided with one another.
"Now this time block and strike back. The point of Soresu is to become and unstoppable wall that nothing can get into, but that also means nothing can get out. Focus on first blocking, and wait for a time when there is an opening. Masters of the form will use Soresu to wear out their opponent into making a mistake and then they move into capitalize, but remember your stamina is not infinite either," said scar as he circled and struck forward. He had studied all of the forms, though his prefered form was mostly outlawed from Jedi teachings but encouraged in his time if you could master it. This one wasn't any were close so he had decided to built her up on the fundamentals of what she already knew. If she got good at Soresu he could be confident that she could hold her own in a fight.

OOC: Sorry for the long delay been busy at work.
Sera concentrated on blocking Scar's strikes but in an offensive manor, every time he struck she would strike back to block. After a few minuets of this Sera's strength was begging to fade she continued to trade blows with him watching his stance and waiting for the opportunity to strike back, thinking that she saw her chance she made her move striking back ferociously and delivering a roundhouse kick to Scar’s face. Sera was breathing rather heavily having exerting a lot of energy on her defense, she knew if she wanted to get stronger she would need to work on her stamina and conserving her energy to take the offensive.
Entering the system a small fighter approached the planet Metellos, it made it's way down to one of the landing platforms, two men emerged from the freighter and making their way towards Scar's location where a local scientists told them. Scar I need to talk to you about our pay, you never said anything about extra gear or additional passengers. (OOC: this is regarding Sam, do what you want with the two.)

Scar knew the opening was coming and allowed it to continue its course he took the blow to the face but he didn't feel any pain just the force of the blow pushing as he spun around into a stance like he had wanted to get kicked in the face.
"Good if you could do that more times throughout a fight you could definitely frustrate a few opponents and they would make even more mistakes," said Scar before a familiar presence brushed up against his mind again.
'Should I crush the bugs?' asked Gaia and Scar shook his head phyiscally like Gaia could see him. Going over to a terminal he logged into the system network. With a few button presses he looked back to the men.
"10,000 Credits each wired to your individual accounts, now is there anything else I can do for you gentlemen?" asked Scar allowing them a bit of leisure in his presence. He didn't seemed too bothered by the interuption though perhaps it was a veiled mask. It was clear however that Scar had money to throw around.

Sera watched as two men barged there way through and demanded to what sounded like more credits, she could of sworn that Scar would just kill them, but quite the opposite he wired a large sum of credits to both of them.
Much appreciated Scar. one of the men said as he bowed, the two left for their ship. Master with all due respect what was that about. She briefly remembered that Scar said something about having her brother safely delivered off that satation Was it about Sammy. Could you please tell me where they left him

"He lives, and perhaps one day you will see him again. For now however I have an certain interest in the state of affairs in the galaxy right now," said Scar no longer giving the other two that had walked away the time of day. "The republic sits on the verge of war with the Mandalorians again. I'd like you to find two Skirran brothers, on Zeltros and inform them that I require their help."
Scar chuckled at that last bit, though whether it was humor or irony he was laughing at was anyone's guess. "I helped one of the brother's long ago, he should remember me. They were once part of the Federation and have found employ underneath the Princess of Zeltros. I would go my self.... but I don't like parties. Do this and I'll let you know where they dropped your brother off. Further, continue your studies."

Sera wanted to know where her brother is now and the longer she had to wait the the more restless she became. She wanted to know that her impatience and eagerness to fight had not hurt him. Then I shall leave immediately.
Sera made her way out towards the landing pads, everything that had happened since the Rift incident was stating to get to her, she became restless and unable to think straight all she wanted was to make sure Sammy was fine.
Sera hoped into the closest one man fighter and started to preparations to launch.

Scar watched as she left, his eyes following her leaving the purple planet behind. He grinned knowing that the war would soon come to a head. There was a secret war of artifacts being waged however. He had managed to obtain one of the artifacts, it had been buried on Metellos a long, long time ago. They were older than even him and the Ancient Sith Empire. Records had been very vague about this but whatever it was that had made these he didn't want it coming back.
Arthus and his brother Ardus, those were two allies he needed on his side this time. It was time to call in the favor for saving Arthus' life. His company had been the one who had captured him but they had never found the proof and it had been a splinter group, while useful the he had decided to let the Skirran go. He was more use to him in the galaxy than on a leash. He wanted to see what Sera would do with more freedom than he gave most would she run? If so he had the assets to track her down if necessary. Who could resist someone who could track down anything they desired though...? He was confident that Sera would return.... in time. Yes always in time.
'Should I follow?' asked Gaia mentally to Scar, and he nodded physically. He felt her recognition of this and set off after Sera the black of her skin blending with the endless blackness of space.
"She may need you if Arthus' 'mind headaches' are still happening," said Scar out loud but also in his mind. Then he bit her farewell. Without wasting too much time staring off he headed down to his collection room heading to a containment room that held the seventh of the Force Orbs. Arguably these things should never be kept together, and that was one thing he and their Guardians agreed upon.
