Training task (Luke, 10, 4 and Trance)

[farmboyjedi]

He'd listened to the Librarian's talk and demonstration, still trying to take it all in. He wasn't as completely surprised as he surmised some of the others in the room might be. It was strange and new, but his life hadn't exactly been normal since he'd left Tattooine all those years ago. Most of the beings, human or otherwise, were strangers to him, although he was still coming to grips that somehow, Tarkin was here as well. He had what Han would call a bad feeling that they were going to squabble a lot before this was through. Part of Luke still wanted to kill the Imperial, after what he'd done to Leia and Alderaan. But, a Jedi did not seek revenge. He'd probably just do his best to stay out of Tarkin's way when they were all in here and not get into too many fights.

The books, apparently, were like portals or gates, passages to different worlds. The one his fingers ended up opening was...great, a farm. Just about the lowest thing on his list to see. Of course, raising crops and animals was a different thing than moisture farming in the desert, but he suspected there'd be some similarities, too.

He'd been told it was best to go about this with partners, so he'd talked to a few of others and there were four of them now as they prepared to step through the portal.

Alright, self! Alright! Ten runs into the village and once there screaming fiercely, "EVERYONE GET OUT! GET OUT RIGHT NOW!"

As Ten runs around like a madman banging doors and ringing bells.

"IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIVES YOU'LL LEAVE RIGHT NOW!"

As Ten runs pass a black smith's store, grabs a sword and a slings a net over his shoulders if need be hopefully, tossing that from a rooftop could trap a group of them.

Oddly enough, Trance's death has triggered his fighting mode.

"Self...ah." He could only stare (along with the bandits) as Trace seemingly lifted from the dead. With a small shrug he headed towards the village. Oh the things he would ask once he had the chance! It was the only reason he was grinning as he followed himself through the town. "A sword? Since when?" Four didn't know how to sword fight, neither had the ones before him.

The bandits could only stare in horror as the woman they had shoot stood up. The ones already headed towards the village missed the sight, but the ones near simply stared at their leader before turning on their heels and heading towards the forest again. "COWARDS! COME BACK!" He growled and turned towards the two. Drawing his sword he sneered, "I'll not run, demon. My men need food and those who fight will get a king's share!" He charged the two, sword swinging in the air making the metal sing.

The villagers took the word of the strange man, seeing the bandits approaching and the market already near shreds. Some men took weapons, ready to defend their homes and families.

Luke didn't try to kill, just, if anything, to injure the man and stop him hurting anyone else. His lightsaber flashed in the sunlight as he moved forward to engage. Of course, being an energy blade, it easily sliced through the metal of the earth-made sword. Luke took care with the strength he used, pushing the green blade just enough to slice the metal but without going to far and into the man's body.

He wasn't fond of it if it wasn't necessary, but decided to employ a little Force persuasion.

You want to turn back and leave. It will only lead to you being harmed and possibly killed if you stay. You will be helped so this can be avoided. he said, reaching a little into the bandit's mind with the Force. Of course, if he were strong minded enough, it might not work, but it was worth a try.
