The Elder spoke as they shot off South.-The Elder-
"The Kumumgah used the crystals as a way to survive. While it didn't turn out how they planned, it is possible they had back up plans. Let's just hope the Vaults turned out better than the Crystals...."The sands started picking up in the wind around them. The Elder put his hands together, and slowly brought them apart. The sands moved back, clearing a spherical space around them, held back by the Elder.-The Elder-
"Just keep going. I'll hold back the storm."
Even though Anven had remind silent after the Elder had spoken he had heard what the Old Man had to say but kept quite in order to concentrate at the task at hand guiding the swoop through the storm just so in the likely rare possibility that he might come across some huge rock formation or a random animal, the last thing he wanted was to have to walk the rest of the way to this Vault the Elder spoke off. |

*Gavin watched as she through the datapad over her shoulder. A tiring and annoying task he was sure, but one that wasn't so hard on this planet.* "Well, it's not like there is much here on this planet to look at. For Organic life, the most that there is to know is the Jawas and the Tusken Raiders. Outside of that, the planet has few cities, but is mostly a hide away. The people that reside here vary in race. Its not so easy to try and find them all. Outside of that, the biggest things to really consider are the Kryat Dragons and the Sarlacc. As for the terrain and such, there's the few cities, Jabba the Hutt's palace, and then sand and rock. There's not much more out here."
*He watched her as she looked at the consul. He could tell that she wanted to press buttons and was glad she refrained. It was a new ship and he'd like to have as many years with it as possible. With a chuckle, he leaned back in the chair.* "I do believe you were going to try and get me to surrender." No, We are discussing the terms of your surrender remember? |

*Crossing his arms, he tilted his head to the side.* "And what exactly are the terms you have in mind? I'm not so easy to convince."

She laughed at his words and looked up at him, batting her eyelashes
You will buy the liquor! And then give me a ride to Papa!
Giggling, her hand moved towards the button again
What's this do?

"Uh huh. Some how I don't see him taking lightly to you riding around with someone else drunk. I don't think it'd go well for me."
*Looking at the button, he merely turned to the consul. He didn't look at her nor did he crack a smile. His tone remained calm and cool as her hand moved close to the button.* "Self-destruct button."

Psh! I think he'd prefer that over my traveling publicly! Heehee! And at least I'd have some company...
Ty's expression went blank as he explained what the button was and her hand went straight up in the air, she stared seriously at him for a moment before breaking into a huge grin
BLUFFER!
She slammed her hand straight down on the button, her eyes never leaving his face

*Suddenly, he ship jolt and spun quickly in a barrel roll and dove towards the ground. Gavin kept his hand down next to him with his palm up. Suddenly, his presence altered, growing dark quickly as black and purple flames seemed to surge from his hand and flew off in front of her.*

As the ship went berserk, Ty managed to stay in her seat, but her hands went up into the air as if she were on a roller coaster. She just laughed joyously watching the flames burst from Gavin, having fun for the first time in months. It seemed as if she didn't even care that they were spiraling towards the sand, Ty slid her hands down to the arms of the chair and held on as she turned her eyes to Gavin, a smile still plastered on her face.

*Gavin laughed as he straightened the ship out. They were extremely close to the surface now, to the point simply pulling up would have landed them skidding across the sand. Hitting a few buttons, the landing thrusters fired with more intensity than normal, arresting the descent as Gavin pulled the nose up and the ship launch itself into the sky once again.*
"I see you are enjoying yourself." *He shook his head as his presence quickly shifted back to its neutral presence.*

Anven pressed on through the growing storm as the Elder held back the sand around them though that still didn't solve the problem of reduced visibility cause by the sand flying everywhere and so when his eyes failed him Anven relied on the force to guide him through the storm. With the force at his side and the Elder keeping the sand and wind from blowing him around he kept the swoop going at the its current speed for he there was no need to slow down...yet.
Even though Anven had remind silent after the Elder had spoken he had heard what the Old Man had to say but kept quite in order to concentrate at the task at hand guiding the swoop through the storm just so in the likely rare possibility that he might come across some huge rock formation or a random animal, the last thing he wanted was to have to walk the rest of the way to this Vault the Elder spoke off.
"We can camp there until the storm passes. We both need some rest after today. Best keep our strength up for the Vault."The Elder huffed as he expanded the protective bubble holding back the sandstorm. His breathing became labored after a few minutes of holding the expanded bubble, and every now and again the sandstorm got through. He was trying to give Anven a better range of visibility, though he was still worn out from the battle with the Machine. Even he could not continue forever, though he would never admit it.-The Elder-
"It will also give us a chance to plan." |

She smiled and wiped a tear from her eye as she settled down, grinning and looking mischeviously at Gavin, raising her hand over her head in the same fashion as before Let's do it again! |

*Gavin merely shook his head.* "It'd never have the same effect as last time. And this ship can handle only so much of that kind of flying in atmosphere. Had I a fighter, well that'd be different." *Gavin reflected on his days when he piloted fighters. At that point, he never planned on spending long periods of time on the ship or living in it on some worlds. He also lead a fighter squadron for the Grey Jedi. He take them through serious terrain to enhance their skills, much like he used to do with his speeder through canyons here so long ago.* "I'd take you through some of the canyons here at high speeds while dodging the walls."

At the words "high speeds" Ty perked up and smiled at him, letting her hand rest back in her lap
Oh! alright so you'll buy the liquor and we'll go flying like that before meeting papa!
Ty giggled and reached across the seats to poke him in the side
What do you say, hun?

Gavin perked up an eyebrow apparently she missed needing a fighter, but he figured he'd still manage the freighter.* "Well, I certainly be drinking if you want me doing that. That needs focus. And I'd probably tie you to the chair."

Tyra got a mischevious glint in her eye and she smiled, poking him again
Oh? Tie me to a chair will you? Well mister Gavin, I will need much drinking for that, love. Oh but it would be fun!
She giggled and seemed to bounce in her seat
Lets! Get! Drinking!!

*Gavin gave a mischievous smile.* "I think we can handle that easily." *With that he hit a couple buttons and the ship picked up much more speed until Mos Eisley was in view.

The Elder pointed over Anven's left shoulder to a small rock formation that was barely visible through the sandstorm.-The Elder-

The Elder relaxed as the Swoop slowed down, and the bubble wavered for a few moments before he regained his focus and held it up. When the Swoop stopped he shrank the protective bubble down to conserve what strength he had left.
-The Elder-
"Don't venture too far from the Swoop. I have an idea."
The bubble dissipated and the Elder lowered his hands to the ground, slowly lifting them up. The ground rumbled, and the rocks that were barely visible above the sand began to rise. The ground cracked around the rocks as they rose, and the Elder yelled something in Kumumgah as the rocks tilted towards one another, forming a small alcove. The Elder dusted his robes off and walked into the alcove and plopped himself down, leaning against the rocks.
-The Elder-
"It takes more than exhaustion to kill me."

Having taken only a few steps away from his swoop before the Elder had called out to him Anven stopped where he was and waited patiently for this idea the Elder had. At first he noticed the Elder's protective bubble dissipate and so he was now in the midst of the sandstorm and he could feel the sand and wind blowing against his cloak but still he waited. Then it became clear what the Elder was doing as the ground rumbled and cracked as the stones began to rise from the sand forming a small alcove for them to hide in. Once the Elder had finished his little feat of awesomeness Anven made his way into the protective alcove and joined the Elder on the ground sitting against the rocks now just watching the storm rage on.
"I can see that you won't be stopped by a little exhaustion that or you are just a stubborn old man whatever it is it certainly seems to serve you well." Anven fell silent for a moment as he stretched out his arms and legs before resuming a cross-legged position on the ground. "So what are we going to do about this vault when we get there, I remember you saying it wasn't going to be easy to break into so I assume you have a plan."

The Elder unstrapped his water bladder and took a long drink from it before re-corking it and setting it next to him. Then he brought his legs together and unhooked his lightsaber and began inspecting it.
-The Elder-
"The plan is quite simple...."
The Elder expanded his hands and held his lightsaber aloft with the Force. The ancient weapon disassembled in the air, the twin Mephite and Pontite crystals shining with a strange light. Their green light lit the small shelter's rock walls up dimly as they spun around, the Elder inspecting them to make sure they had faired well while in Jud'dayus's care.
Several minutes passed while the Elder reassembled his lightsaber, the only sounds being the sandstorm and the movement of the parts reassembling themselves. Finally, after what would seem like an eternity, the lightsaber was completed. The Elder gripped the hilt and with a simple movement of his finger the green blade shot out, lighting up the inside of the rock alcove with its bright light.
-The Elder-
".....We knock."
The Elder switched off his lightsaber and clipped it back onto his belt. Almost immediately the soft snoring of the old man could be heard from the mouth area of his mask.
