*Ellie gave the two a nod. At least they'd all be sticking together now. Pushing the thoughts of Sith space beasts and unknown monsters into the back of her mind, she continued forward.*
*With a soft creaking, then a loud groan, the door to the cockpit was slowly forced open. There was just enough space for Ellie to slide into the dark room. The lights from her helmet panned across dark consoles and control panels. The cockpit was just as lifeless as the rest of the ship, maybe even more so. She stepped up the empty pilots chair, where she noticed a blaster mark that went clean through the chair.* "Well...that's something. Doesn't look like something a space beast could do." *She began to jab at the console with very little results. Getting the flight logs was now little more challenging.* "So Erik. You're good with machines right? Think you can get power back to the console?"

*Ellie looked up from her glass as Torin. She gave him a nod as he greeted her. * "Su cuy'gar." *She thanked the bartender for refilling her drink. Then she gathered her thoughts as best she could to explain them to Torin. Turning to Torin, she spoke in Mando'a.* "I've been alright. Just returned from a small skirmish in a nearby asteroid belt. Well..the fight wasn't in the asteroid belt itself, but a staging area for asteroid tugs." *She took a swig of her drink before continuing.* "Some pirates had ahold of it and were smuggling goods from there. I decided it be better used by clan Ordo then let them have it. See if we couldn't drag some iron or whatever out of those rocks."
*She hesitated for a moment, knowing that she was dancing around the subject she called Torin here for.* "Although...that's not what I wanted to tell you about. It's just....I'm having a hard time focusing on my job. Being Aliit'alor, I mean. I feel this draw to just leave everything behind and set out again." *She stared at the glass in her hands as if it held the words she was looking for.* "Like I need to find the next great hunt or move from battle to battle. I can't get any work done cause I'm always trying to get rid of this feeling." *Ellie gave a low short laugh as she thought about recent events.* "The battle with the pirates didn't help it any either." *She fiddle with her cup for a second before turning to Torin.* "I'm..not sure how long I can keep being Aliit'alor, or if I even should be anymore."

*Anger, that's what filled Ellie as she turned to face Sanden. So far he already made it on the list as her third most hated person, and she had only just set eyes on him. She wanted nothing more than to remove this mans head from his shoulders. When she felt small Ellie hide behind her and Kaiya, her priorities changed.*
*Ellie picked up younger Ellie and held her close. As strange as it may have seemed, she felt a strong urge to protect the young girl. With Ruubin making it clear that they were leaving, she gave Sanden one last glare before following the others out.*
*The bright twin suns of Tatooine greeted them as they left the bunker. The heat they gave off matched Ellie's mood. She headed for the Gladiator before stopping and turning to Ruubin.* "Where do you plan on going? I'm heading to Corellia."

*The skirmish had finally started to wear down. Hostiles were surrendering and the rest were fleeing. Ellie lowered her blade and let out a slow breath. Another day, another victory.*
*Her gaze turned to Honon when he stepped up beside her.* "It's good to see you as well. Yes, I did see you're display, and no I'm an Aliit'alor. Couldn't imagine leading all the clans."
*She gave Kateri a nod when she arrived and greeted her. Then it started, the usual debate between the two siblings. Ellie rolled her eyes and patted the two on the shoulder.* "I'm glad you two are here. I'll talk to you both later, right now there's...something I need to attend to." *She left the two to argue over something else, because what she need to see was far more important. As she walked towards her twin and the younger version of herself, she couldn't help but feel a knot form in her gut over what it could all mean. She came to a stop in front of her sister, without looking at smaller self.* "Hey, vod. It's good to see you again. Despite the circumstances anyway." *Letting out a slow breath she didn't realize she was holding, she knelt down till she was eye level with her younger self. It was a very surreal feeling.* "Well, I guess this is happening. Not everyday you get to meet another version of yourself. Yeah....I'm guessing we both have a lot of questions for each other."

*Ellie gave a low sigh that made her vocal synthesizer crackle. She came to a stop and turned around to face the other two.* I doubt there's a giant Sith made beast roaming around out here. *She ran two fingers across one of the large scratch marks.* I also doubt it traps the souls of the ones it devours. Besides, a Death Star would be to clumsy. You get one shot and it would be ridiculously hard to aim it at the beast. *Clapping her hands together, she turned back to the two.* So. All those in favor of returning to the ship, say aye. Then you may do so. I, however, am headin to the cockpit to get the flight recorder.

*The young Allit'alor entered the Oyu'baat, pausing only briefly to glance around. A few patrons glanced her way before returning to their business. She hadn't been here since she was a child, but place held some form of strange familiarity. The stares prompted her to move further into the room rather the loiter by the door. Then again, they probably wondered why she looked as if she just returned from a brawl, which is exactly where she had been. Each step was a little slower then normal as she made her way to the bar. Every step sent a sharp numbing pain up her side. This was nothing new to her, nor would it be the last time she felt like this. She sank into a barstool and order a glass of whiskey.*
*As she waited for her drink, her hand slid up the back of her shirt to feel the large bruise growing just below her right ribs. She could feel the slight swelling even through the black armorweave shirt she wore under her matching tshirt. Wincing slightly, she grabbed the drink the bartender set on the counter for her. With any luck, it would help dull the pain till she could figure the next step in her plan.
*As she sat and drank, she began to make a mental list of people she could contact. Naturally she ruled out her parents, since she didn't want them fretting over her injuries. Then she thought of Torin Bralor, he was really the only person she knew on Mandalore, other than her parents. Taking a slow painful breath she sent a message to Aliit'alor Bralor, asking for advice.*

*A lone AIAT/i dropped out of hyperspace and lumbered into Mandalore's orbit. The old gunship was battered and worn, sporting scars from past and recent battles. The old vessel didn't have to wait long before it recieved clearance. The engines roared back to life and carried the ship planet side.*

*They were all around her, she could sense them. Their emotions buffeted her from all sides like a violent storm. Her eyes were still closed as she stood and centered herself, she took up a schlüssel stance. There was no anger in her, only peace in mind and acceptance in battle. She was the calm in the center of this violent storm of emotion.*
*Then the first struck from behind. Ellie dropped her weight and shifted her stance, she then placed her left palm on the pummel of her blade and thrust it through the knights chest. A second charged from behind and thrust their blade forward. Right foot went behind left as she spun around the attack, her blade then swung out and took the man by the legs before she thrust her blade down to finish him.*
*The circle widened some, giving her a moment to breath and return to her schlüssel stance. The break was short as another charged her, swinging from their left side. Ellie shifted slightly to block, then stepped in with a heavy elbow before cutting the attacker down. Using the momentum, and a bit of the force for strength, she quickly stepped forward and brought a powerful cross swing at the nearest knight. The strike was quick and merciless as Ellie felt it cut through two knights and wound a third. She didn't pause as she backed away from the line, straight into another attacker. Her blade sang out quickly as she removed the mans arm the took him through the chest.*
*She could feel her allies getting closer and the Sun Knights begging to falter. This was good, but that didn't help her at the moment. Breathing out, she took up her stance again and waited for the next assault.*

*Ellie bit back a retort when Erik used the term space magic. Figuring her time was better spent searching the ship. Cautiously, she lead them up towards the cockpit. Her lightsaber held in front of her like a makeshift glow rod. Something about this was strange, she could sense something, but nothing at all at the same time. She didn't turn to face Ami when she answered her question.* "I have heard of the leviathan. Both of them, actually. The pirate vessel that lurks in deep space, devouring any ship unlucky enough to get caught in its path. I also know of the beast it's named after. Lives in the mae and is large enough to crush a star destroyer." *She paused momentarily before finally asking.* "Why do you ask?"

*Several transports loaded with agricultural goods made their way into the hangar. Once on the ground, they began to unload their cargo and transferring it to Zordo the Hutts transports. This was supposed to the first of many.*

*Ellie gave Torin a small nod.* "I may have to take you up on that offer. It would be good to visit home again." *Her smile almost faltered at the thought of home. She really hadn't been there since returning to Mandalore. Regaining her composure, she put on a more serious expression.* "Ret'urcye mhi, Torin." *As the pair walked away, Ellie set about sending orders to her fleets. When Torin's men arrived, they would be ready to receive them.*

*Ellie turned away from her sister and well....the smaller version of herself. Her mind was now on a singular focus, find those who were responsible for this. There were many questions that needed answered, but she knew whoever was in charge wouldn't be out here fighting. She needed to find a way deeper into the facility. First task though, was getting control of the entry way.*
*With lightsaber firmly in hand, she charged into the chaos. Her blade sang out as it swiftly found its first target, a Sun knight who was about to strike a commando. The blade pierced through a small gap in his armor, ending him quickly. Ellie didn't slow her pace as she cut down a trooper as she headed into the center of the conflict.*
*Very little was slowing down the path of carnage she was carving across the room. Everything from knights to troopers fell before her. She knew this couldn't last, something needed to end it. Finally, she made it to the center of the room where the heaviest fighting was. Ellie had an idea, it was dumb but worth a shot. She climbed up onto a piece of debris and centered herself in the force. Directly in front of her was the knight leading the defense. He was the one she was after, take him down and the rest may crumble. This was a risk though, she would end up separated from her allies, but it was worth it.*
*Gathering a strong burst of the force, she launched herself over the enemy lines. Ellie gripped the hilt of her saber with both hands and held it aloft, the tip of the blade pointed forward for maximum impact. She swung the blade down with all her strength and weight. The knight looked up in fear at the sight of Ellie, this was the last thing he saw before the blade pierced clean through his chest. His body barely hit the ground before Ellie was up and swinging again. The knights death rippled through the force and almost instantly, the rest of his forces began to pull back towards the only passage leading into the facility. Unfortunately Ellie was now surrounded by a sea of hostiles, the only way out was to fight, or survive long enough for help.*

*Ellie gave a small chuckle at Torin's response.* "That's good to hear."
*She stood when Torin did have him a slight nod.* "No need to thank. It's always good to receive visits from fellow Aliit'alor. Well, depending on the circumstance anyway. We'll be ready to receive them by then, I'll get the orders out right away and everyone briefed on the happenings." *Ellie began to lead Torin towards the hangar.* "If the other clans do agree on the training exercises, then Clan Ordo is more then willing to host them here."

*Ellie gave her twin a nod when she reached her. She was glad to have her sister there to fight by her side, just like old times. They would need each other, this place was quickly turning into a mess.*
*Then she felt something, a prickle of familiarity, but different somehow. A little unrefined, wild, and maybe a little bit unsure of itself. That was something she knew well, even this force signature. Her eyes scanned the room till she spotted a small girl staring at her, and her heart almost stopped. What she saw was a face she had only seen in a mirror, at least twelve years ago. There was no mistaking it though, that girl was a younger version of Ellie. Now the real question was how and why. How was there a child that was a spitting image of her standing not far away, and why was she here of all places.*
*Her thoughts were cut short when he saw the commando deleiver a powerful strike to the child. Ellie could feel the pain and surprise from the youngling. Identical to her own feelings in every way as it rippled through the force. Without thinking, Ellie launched herself forward and let out a mighty yell. She cleared the distance to the child and commando in an instant, her blade cut through the air with a roar. The commando never knew what happened before his head hit the ground, then his body.*
*Ellie didn't glance down at the child, it was almost as if she was afraid to. Anger was beginning to build in her at the sight of these people attacking younglings. After several seconds, she finally turned to face the child. As she did, the battle seemed to fade away as she stared into the eyes of a younger self. She wasn't sure what to say or do, there were just so many questions.*
*One thing she did know, however, was that the younger version of herself had gotten hit pretty hard. Without really thinking about it, she deactivated her lightsaber and put it on her belt. She then reached down and picked up the smaller version of her, letting the girl rest her head on her shoulder. Ellie wasn't entirely sure why she was doing this, but she was. She carried the younger herself up to Kaiya, her expression was almost blank as she spoke in a level voice.* "Please hold her for a minute and keep her safe. I'm putting an end to this."

*The Gladiator shook and protested some at the unusual angle at which they were entering atmosphere. Ellie could scarcely imagine what was happening to the other ship, but she could sense the urgency through the force. On command, she hit the thrusters one last time before pulling away. The large gunship then pulled behind the doomed shuttle and followed it in. Ruubin's shuttle barely breached the door before the Gladiator made an abrupt landing.*
*The ships engines were barely slowing to a stop as Ellie came sprinting down the loading ramp. She moved at a dead run towards the wreckage. Half part concerned for her sister, the other half aching for battle. Her lightsaber was already in hand, the leather wrapped hilt was as long as her forearm. She quickly bounded up the debris and through the massive hole in the door. In front of her were her targets, three of them, all heading towards the cockpit with their blasters raised. Without slowing down, she let out a yell and launched herself at them. An almost pure white blade ignited from her lightsaber as she gripped it with two hands. She brought it down with full strength on the first started soldier, almost cleaving him in two. Wielding her saber like a claymore, she swiftly brought down the other two.*

*Ellie thought about Torin's proposal. Having other clans visit and participate in training exercises wasn't a bad idea. Not only would it strengthen ties, but it would also gauge the fighting abilities of others. She gave Torin a nod and spoke in Mando'a* "That doesn't sound like a bad idea, actually. A little competition might be a good way to get everyone interested." *She leaned back in her chair and gave a nod towards the window.* "Ordo is mostly desert. So, dress for the heat."

“Watch out for my ship.” said Ruubin, “You might know how to work yours and pull this off, but my ship's just this side of tearing itself apart.”The strain in the pilot's voice was evident even in the static and feedback from his faulty commlink. Ruubin was barely keeping the shuttle from going to pieces as he said, he shunted more power to thrusters now that they were within atmosphere. Hopefully the Jedi could rely on their training, and the Commandos had their pressure sealed armour to protect them.“Fire the first burst now.” He activated his own lift thrusters to push upwards. *Ellie let out a slow breath and let her mind sink into the force. She rested her hand above the thruster throttle, waiting for the command. Once Ruubin gave the order, Ellie fired the first burst from her ships vertical thrusters. With any luck it would help stabilize the shuttle.*

*Ellie's grin faltered some when Torin asked if she grew up on Ordo.* "No. I'm actually from Mandalore. My twin sister and I were raised in a small village in the northern hemisphere." *Her gaze looked somewhat distant as she remembered her childhood home.* "Our home was surrounded by a grove of veshok trees. I remember all the snow as well. Seemed like it would never melt off."
*Her attention turned back to the present. She tried pushing all the old memories from her mind so she could answer the rest of Torin's questions.* "I'm not sure if there's one place that embodies it for me. I spend a lot of time training, at least when I'm not in my office. The clan is defined by its peoples, not a place. Where ever they are embodies it for me. Whether that's here, or light years away. That's what I believe anyway." *She paused and thought about where the could visit the they could experience the true Ordo.* "The true experience? There's the training grounds, or the smithy. Both places gather large numbers of our best warriors and craftsman. But..." *Ellie thought for a moment on how to word her next statement.* "I think if you want to experience the true Ordo. Then you need to go down to the towns and villages. Mingle with the locals and live with them for a time. Then you'll get the true experience when you see things from their perspective."

*Ellie gave a wicked grin at Ruubin's plan. The plan was insane, and she enjoyed it.* Don't worry, I'm definitely with you on this. *She had to line her ship up perfectly. Luckily for everyone involved, Ellie had flown her vessel enough to know its quarks and how to adjust for them. The large gunship rolled belly up and carefully aligned under the other ships hull.* Ready when you are.
