Post-Debrief

Macen Was Dismayed To Know That He Wouldn't Be Apart Of The Rescue Efforts In Searching For Master's Secura and Skywalker, and Of Course Ahsoka. More So, When He Learned The Council Was Concerned About His Extensive Risk-Taking During The Engagement. He Was Well Aware What Happened To His Father, When The Council Grew Concerned With His Independence and Unorthodox Methods, He Was Sent On A Mission To Kalee, To Stop A Local Uprising, and Was Executed By General Grievous By An Undignified Decapitation With His Own Lightsaber. Macen Was Concerned The Council Would Ship Him Off To The Agricultural Corps Since He Was A Descendant Of The Kashi Mer Dynasty, But Was Displeased When They Instead Confined Him To The Temple, Allegedly For Reflection and Rejuvenation. But Macen Knew Better, It Was A Means To Supervise and Evaluate Him More Closely.

Still, Macen Was Grateful For The Opportunity To Learn From The Jedi Archives, He Had An Avid Fascination With Long-Lost Relics and History, and Was Studying How To Create His Own Holocron In His Spare Time. He Sought The Means To Create A Dodecahedral Shaped Holocron With Electrum Frames and A Pontite Crystal For The Key. Actually, While On The Subject Of Crystals, Macen Was Interested In Creating A Synthetic Lightsaber Crystal, The Ability To Do So, Coupled With The Sheer Effort and Skill Involved Would Prove A Fruitful Training and Skill Test. Which Was Why He Now Approached Master Archivist Jocasta Nu.

"Master Nu? I Was Wondering If You Could Provide Me With Some Information On The Creation Of Synthetic Lightsaber Crystals." Says Macen. "Synthetic Lightsaber Crystals? That Is Usually A Sith Method, Why Do You Seek This Knowledge?" Asks The Usually Kind Nu In A Sterner Tone. "I Believe It Is Possible To Create A Synthetic Crystal Without The Dark Side Of The **** Influencing it's Design and Creation. I Understand How Labour Intensive and Stressing It Can Be, But I Am Eager To Determine If I Can Replicate The Feat Using The Light Side Of The ****. I Want As Much Information As Possible, Any Detail Missed Could Be Dangerous." Says Macen. Jocasta Nu Studies Him, Long and Hard, But While Macen Doesn't Shy From The Studying Gaze, He Can't Help But Sweat A Little. "Very Well, Follow Me." Jocasta Says At Last Leading Him To A Terminal, Extracting The Necessary Information, and Downloading It To A Data Card. "This Should Hold The Relevant Information For Your Objective. I Shall Inform Master Yoda Of Your Desire, and A Room For The Process Shall Be Prepared For You When Your Ready." Says Nu. "Thank You Master Nu." Says Macen Before Going To An Input Terminal For Study.

Macen Had Finished His Study Of The Data Master Jocasta Had Given Him, and Was Now Seated In The Room With The Necessary Materials and Master Fisto and Master Koon Standing Watch Over Him. Macen Cast A Hand Over Each Material Letting The **** Guide Him, He Had Shards Of A Rubat, Velmorite, Phond, and Opila Crystals, These Felt Right To Macen So They Levitated Upwards, While Macen Focused His Senses Elsewhere...........

Macen Had Labored For Thirty Three Intensive Hours, The Process Long and Difficult, But A Partial Success. His Crystals Were Far More Compressed Than Intended, But This Could Prove Useful, For Compressed Crystals Were More Precise When Used In Combat. Macen Had Created Eight Crystals, One For Each Part Of His Unique Lightsabers, The Cross-Guard Ports and The Main Blades. Macen Felt Exhausted, But Also A Measure Of Pride and Accomplishment, He Had Done A Previously Unheard Of Task, and Succeeded. Master Yoda and The Rest Of The High Council, Along With The Council Of First Knowledge, Now Watched As Macen's Exhausted Body and Mind Telekinetically Reassembled His Lightsaber. The Parts Were Different Than Most, The Hilts Themselves Had A Wood Sheave As A Grip. Cut From The Wroshyr Tree's Of Kashyyk, The Sabers Lenses Were Not The Standard, The Main Blades Crystals Were Focused Through Carefully Cleaned Krayt Dragon Pearls.

When Properly Cleaned, The Rare Pearls Of The Deadly Demons Of The Tatooine Desert Could Be Used Either As Crystals Or Lenses For A Lightsaber. Macen Had Inherited Them From His Father, His Old Man Had Slayed A Krayt Dragon On Tatooine To Earn The Trust and Respect Of The Tusken Raiders Who Had Been Harassing The Local Moisture Farmers. When The Supreme Commander Of The Separatist Alliance, General Grievous Killed The Elder Surik, The Tusken Raiders Went Out Of Their Way To Return The Decapitated Body To Macen. It Was Unheard Of For Tusken's To Leave Tatooine, Let Alone For Someone Not From Their Tribe Or Tatooine In General. The Surik Family Had Long Been Settled On The Planets Chandrila, Alderaan, and Coruscant and Correllia, But Their Current Homeworld Was Coruscant. When The Tusken's Returned The Body Of Macen's Father, Their Chief Gave Macen The Krayt Dragon Pearls His Father Had Given His Tribe To Learn Of Their Culture and Traditions, As A Sign Of Respect, and Macen Presented The Chief His Father's Lightsaber Crystal In Return.

The Memory Of His Father Was Painful, But He Loved Him, and Refused To Let The Way He Died So Ignominiously Bother Him, Or Distract Him. His Concentration Was Perfect and He Managed To Successfully Realign His Lightsabers. As He Opened His Eyes, The Lightsabers Activated Revealing Cyan Blades Shaped Like The Blade Of The Darksaber, The Cross-Guard Blades Were Of A Yellow Hue. Strangely, The Insides Of The Yellow Blades Were A Light Emerald. "Commended You Must Be Padawan Surik, Done A Feat, Previously Used By Not The Jedi, You Have." Says Yoda. "Thank You Master Yoda, But I Am Far From Finished." Says Surik, A Fire and Determination In His Eyes. "Oh?" Asks Yoda. "I Seek To Create A Holocron, One Of The Dodecahedral Variety Of Shape." Says Macen. "You Are Aware Dodecahedral Holocrons Are Amongst The Hardest To Create?" Asks Mace Windu. "It Wouldn't Be Fun If It Wasn't Master." Says Macen Eagerly. "Hmm, Indeed." Says Ki-Adi Mundi Agreeing With Macen's Assessment. "If That Is All Masters, I Would Like To Begin Sparring Practices With My New and Improved Lightsabers?" Asks Macen. "Of Course Padawan, Your Dismissed." Says Windu.

Once Inside The Training Room, Macen Assumes A Spiritual Projection Meditation To Spy On The Council's Conversation. "...........................The Young Surik Seems To Be A More Than Capable Jedi In Spite Of His Years. Do You Not Agree, Master Kenobi?" Asks Yoda. "Yes, But His Independence and Stubbornness Remind Me Too Much Of Anakin, and I Fear I Shall Be Unable To Teach Him." Says Kenobi. "Even So, We Should Train Him Carefully, The Surik Family Has Always Dangerously Walked Between The Lines Of Light and Dark Before." Says Plo Koon. "Then Who, If Not I, Should Train Him?" Asks Kenobi. "Perhaps A Trio Of Teachers? Members Of This Council?" Offers Shaak Ti. "But Who Should We Decide Upon?" Asks Sasee Tiin. "Master's Mundi, Koon, and Myself Shall Train The Young Padawan." Says Windu As Rhe Councilors Nod The Agreement.

Opening His Eyes, Macen Silently Uses Te **** To Activate The Training Droid Modules, Choosing To Fight Droids Bearing The Visages Of Darth Traya, Darth Sion, and Darth Nihilus, Macen Activates His Lightsabers and Begins A Disciplined and Blazing Flurry Of Elegant Lightsaber Combat, Making Perfect Use Of Makashi's Saber-To-Saber Type Of Oriented Combat, Alongside The Leaps Of Ataru and The Furious Beating Blade Attacks Of Djem So. He Makes Non-Lethal Contact Point Strikes, While Also Utilising Unarmed Combat Attacks Such As Kicks and Elbows, But Augmented With The ****.

These Droids Had Been Juiced Up and Modified By Him and Skywalker To Provide A Better Challenge During Training, His Incorporation Of Ancient Sith Was Applauded By The Council. But These Three Held Special Significance To The Surik Family. The Surik Line Culminated With Him, and He Would Not Be Defeated By Such Puny Imitations, He Began To Draw The **** Inside Him , Before Unleashing It In A Violent Shockwave To Knockback The Droids, Macen Took The Opportunity To Switch From Jar'Kai To Niman and Trakata, Augmented By Makashi, Ataru, and Soresu. Quickly Joining His Hilts, Macen Ducks Below AN Incoming Blade, Before Tossing His Blade Above Him To Kick His Legs Into The Back Of His Previous Opponent Like A Artillery Cannon Firing, But Using The **** As A Firing Mechanism.

Landing On His Hands and Feet, Macen Rolls Over and Kips Up, He Grabs His Lightsaber and Uses A **** Push To Launch Over His Next Opponent. While In The Air, Macen Channels His Light Side Lightning Into His Lightsaber and Begins To Overpower His Imitation Opponents. Once Defeated He Hears Clapping, and Looks Up, Seeing The Council. "Well Done, Perhaps Your Ready For Form Seven." Says Mace Windu.
