Ellie cracked a small grin at Danica's remark, she seemed to have a bit of the same attitude that Ellie did and that was someone she could get along with real well given enough time. “Well I'm sure there are plenty of pain killers at the hospital, just gotta be quick before the looters get to it.” She teased back with a chuckle, wincing a little when the pain in her arm flared up, “I'll be sure to tell everyone you helped me so you get your hero's medal after this is all over.” She added, her small smirk not fading, even with her injuries feeling like they were getting worse.
Ellie looked up when they managed to make it to the hospital, only for there to be a crowd of people there, no doubt some were looking to be helped and others were there to prattle on about the end times and repenting and all that other nonsense that Ellie received when she had arrived home. “Oh good and here I thought we wouldn't have to deal with anymore craziness, guess luck is still favoring the fortunate.” Spoke aloud, mostly to herself, she didn't know what was worse, her being shredded like she was or the fact that there were all these religious freaks trying to get people to repent and go to their religion and all this other stuff that Ellie felt was just pure nonsense.
Ellie nodded when she was placed down on a nearby bench and told to wait there, not that she really had any plans to go anywhere else, nor really could she. She continued to pant heavily as small drops of blood fell from the jacket Danica had given her to try and stop or at least slow down the bleeding; her arm feeling like it was starting to pulse as her bit wound began to burn, the sooner she could get patched up, the better.
Her eyes felt heavy as she struggled to keep them open, slowly her body slid to the side until she fully collapsed on the bench, she didn't know why she was feeling this exhausted, sure she had been attacked, but she felt much less fatigued moments earlier, perhaps her injuries were already infected, she didn't know. Her attention drew to Danica once more when she used what looked like some martial arts moves to get a hobo looking man away from what looked like a doctor, something that only impressed Ellie more.
Ellie saw the two chatting a bit before they made their way over to her, she continuing to hold onto the jacket that was wrapped around her arm as it loosely hung from the bench, a decent sized yet still relatively small pool of blood on the ground. “Oh you know doc, just the friendliness of the apocalypse greeting me in it's own special way.” Ellie spoke up though the question wasn't really directed at her. Wincing when they lifted her up once more and started to take her towards the hospital, though she was feeling tired even more now, her legs tripping up a few times as they got closer to the inside of the hospital.
@Lucky Knight I'm going to freeze the fire so hard, only problem is that it won't last very long cause stupid fire has to be 'hot' nyah, "Oh look at me, I'm fire and I obey the laws of thermodynamics." -_- Could get rich off it if it didn't obey the laws of the universe. Also I think were getting close to joining you in the Outer Rim, but I myself always enjoy more characters. :D
Finally got my post up, though knowing me I'll be making multiple edits to it later, if I can ever make a decent post that doesn't needed to be edited later, I'll be able to freeze fire. XD

Leon smirked when Xeviiy's face lit up, if nothing had changed since he had last been in the Jedi Temple, then he knew that she probably wasn't allowed to leave it frivolously what with her still being a padawan. “Oh thank you masters!” Xeviiy exclaimed, bowing to them quickly and then started to head towards the exit, Leon and Anna not too far behind, “Don't worry masters, we'll look after her and make sure she doesn't get into trouble.” He half waved as they began exiting out of the council chambers with Xeviiy.
Xeviiy glanced back when Anna started to speak to her, “Eh, don't worry about it, I get it to some degree, but I'm not just some little kid that can't protect herself, I'm with the order, they've trained me since I was little...I'm sorry though for being rude, sometimes words escape my mouth faster than my brain thinks.” She smiled with a small chuckle.
“So...how do you know the council? I didn't manage to catch that bit when you guys were talking.” Xeviiy spoke up after the short silence as the three of them continued walking through the temple.
“I used to be a padawan such as yourself.”
“What really?” Xeviiy couldn't help but respond with a shocked expression on her face.
“Yep, if you're wondering why I'm not with the order now, it's because I felt I wasn't good enough for the order, see I have a difficult time manipulating the force externally, so such things as telekinesis or force push and pull are a little more difficult for me. The one thing that I was better than most at was using the force to enhance my body's natural abilities, but I never thought that would be really useful to the Jedi Order, so I sort of put a self imposed exile on myself, then someone from the Republic recruited me and that's how I got to where I am now.”
“Wow, well I guess that would explain those stories I've heard about you, if you are that guy that did all those incredible things in the war against Exar Kun.” She responded.
“Yeah, some people think me a bit of a legend, though I don't really see it, I just did what anyone else would've.” Leon answered back, a little quieter as he thought back to some of his past battles he was in years ago.
“Well you had the force with you, that already gave you more of an advantage than most of the other soldiers you were with.”
“Perhaps, but that doesn't mean they didn't save my life as much as I saved theirs, the force is a powerful ally, but so are the people you fight with, the force alone can't allow you to do everything by yourself.”
They soon made it out of the temple and then began walking towards the headquarters, thankfully it wasn't too far away, no doubt one of the reasons it was built so close to the Jedi Temple, so news could be sent to them quickly.
“Oh no!” Leon exclaimed, smacking his forehead as he let out a sigh.
“What is it, sir?” The Lieutenant asked, finding his outburst to be random.
“I just remembered Lieutenant, I'm going to have a ton of paperwork when I get back.” He let out a slight chuckle.
“Well you're the one who had to take one of your infamous breaks and then the whole news with the Jedi, you've got no one to blame but yourself.” Anna responded cheekily.
“Yeah yeah Lieutenant, no need to rub it in my face.” He sighed, he hated paperwork, it always seemed like it was never ending, at least on the battlefield he usually didn't have to worry about that.
“I take it he does this a lot then?” Xeviiy spoke, noticing the two seemed to have a unique bond, if they weren't together, they would be, at least that's how Xeviiy saw it.
“Yeah, I have to remind him all the time about his work, I feel like his mother a lot of the time more than his Lieutenant.” She chuckled, glad that she and Xeviiy were starting to get along better than than had moments before.
“What did you say, Lieutenant?” He gave a serious glare to her, Xeviiy feeling a bit nervous when his demeanor changed, though she started to relax when Anna rolled her lips in, trying to avoid laughing, though it was unavoidable. “You really think that facade works on me anymore, it's not like how it was on day one.” Leon's struggled to keep the facade anger expression on his face, but soon a smile cracked from it, “Well I thought it was worth a try, at least I managed to trick the baby Jedi.” He chuckled, glancing over to Xeviiy.
“Baby Jedi huh? Well I bet this 'baby Jedi' could trounce you in a sparring match.” She smiled to him with a determined look on her face, something in her being brought when she talked to him, plus it also had something to do with when she had that vision session with that strange woman.
“Perhaps after we get to Republic HQ and I inform a general about this, just make sure to not bother the other soldiers who are busy with paperwork.” He spoke to her.
“Don't worry Major, I'll stay with her and show her around the place, let her get a feel for what it's like in the Republic.” Anna interjected, Leon giving a nod. It wasn't that he expected her to misbehave, just it would be his ass if his superiors saw an unauthorized person inside the building, even if they were a Jedi who just barely had clearance with the military.
It started to become early dusk when they finally entered the HQ, Xeviiy was in awe of how busy it was, a man quickly rushing over to them, “Major! Where have you been, paperwork has been piling up.” Leon let out a sigh, “Relax Sergeant, I'm here now, just give me a few minutes and then I'll help take care of it.” The Sergeant saluted and then quickly rushed back to his desk as the three started to walk through the building, down a hall on the left until they reached a door, a name plate next to it reading 'General Rylken Sulmar'.
“Alright, here we go, no make sure to be respectful to the man, he's stern but not unreasonable.” Leon warned, a lot of the generals were like that, though he figured they had to be, otherwise the chain of command wouldn't be taken seriously if they were relaxed and care free.
He knocked on the door, “Come in.” An older voice came from the other side, the door sliding open as the three of them stepped inside, “Ah Leon, good to see you...” An older man with black hair, grey streaks on the side as well as a full beard spoke, looking to be in his late fifties, he paused when he saw Anna and Xeviiy, “...and you brought guests.” He smiled to them, Leon giving a quick salute, followed by Anna, though Xeviiy didn't. “Xeviiy...” Leon spoke in a hinting voice, trying to get her to do the same.
“It's quite alright Major, Jedi aren't truly known for military protocol, are they?” He asked her with a smile, she looking surprised in return, “You know I'm a Jedi?” She asked the older man curiously. “Well of course my dear, it's quite obvious what with your attire, not to mention that shiny hilt you have attached to your side.”
She looked down to her weapon before looking to Leon and then the older man once more, “You don't seem stern like the Major said.” She retorted, Leon's eyebrows shooting up before he lowered his head into his palm, shaking it. The General unable to help but let out a hearty laugh, “Well in my office I'm a bit more laid back, plus the Major and I are old friends, so he gets a break on that front, but I assume you're here with more important matters than a greeting?” He looked to Leon, quickly becoming more serious.
“Yes General, I visited the Jedi Temple, they had been expecting me, they bring news about Mandalorian raids on the Outer Rim supposedly on a conquest based on the information I've been given. They wish for my Lieutenant and I, as well as this young Jedi to accompany the scouting party they're going to send to investigate, they said we'd be meeting up with some others they've selected, here is the information they gave me.” He reached behind him, handing the datapad over to the aged General.
He began to review some of the data that was on it, his brow furrowing the more he read, “Why was this not simply sent to us via a secure channel?” He asked as he paused his reading to look at Leon.
“The Jedi Council were concerned that the channels weren't secure enough and didn't wish for this information to be leaked and potentially cause a panic or allow others to benefit off the chaos or alert any Mandalorians or their sympathizers.” Leon Responded.
The General nodded his head, “Yes, I understand now. They were right then to have this delivered personally, if such information were to get out without a calm explanation, no doubt there would be chaos that could severely harm the Republic...” He let out a sigh, “...I really hope this doesn't lead to another war, I'm only a few years from retirement, thank you for bringing this to me, I shall inform the other Generals and we'll bring this to the Senates attention.”
“Yes, sir!” Leon spoke loudly, saluting and began to head for the door before Anna approached the General, “Sir? I don't mean to take up anymore of your valuable time, but I was wondering if Major Athos could have someone else take over his paperwork, just so he isn't fatigued when the mission begins.” Leon was about to speak up when the General let out a chuckle, “Sure Lieutenant, can't have a legend like our Major here to be fatigued, I'll have someone else take care of it, not to worry.” Anna smiled and the clapped her feet together, giving a salute, then started to exit the General's office with Leon and Xeviiy.
“Are you two trying to get me into trouble? You're just lucky he was in a good mood.” Leon spoke as he let out a sigh.
Xeviiy and Anna looking at each other before letting out a small giggle, “Nothing wrong with testing the waters, Major.” Xeviiy teased as they started to walk down the hallway, “How about we get some food from the cafeteria and then we can spar like you wanted.” Leon suggested, Xeviiy smiling and nodding eagerly, she definitely changed a little, she still believe in her idealism, but she wasn't so avert to combat now, at least if it was a sparring match.

“I'm going to have to guess no, guess if the end of the world is supposedly happening, all the psychos that were too scared to show themselves want to be remembered, lucky us.” She quipped, a small chuckle escaping her. well at least she still had her sarcasm, so perhaps she wasn't in terrible shape or simply her injuries were making her a bit delirious.
“Oh, lucky you, wish I had those, maybe then I wouldn't look like someone who's ready for a body bag.” Ellie remarked with sarcasm once more, not intentionally of course, it was just one of her ways to be a little less focused on her injuries.
Ellie was partially revealed when the finally exited the woods and were in the town once more, noticing however much like Danica that none of the street lights were working, well that was just great, she wondered if the rest of the town was like this or if it was just the section they were in. She glanced over at Danica when the woman explained that they would have go across the road like frogger, “Oh yeah, should be a piece of cake, though I got squashed more times than I made it across when I played.” A small smirk on her pained face as she spoke.
Ellie prepared herself for them to cross, her legs shaking as she tried taking a step only for her body to collapse slightly, though thanks to the woman holding her up, she didn't completely fall down, “I can...probably make it on my own to the hospital, last thing I want to do is burden a stranger who probably has their own things to prepare for before the supposed apocalypse comes.” Ellie spoke up, most likely she wouldn't reach the hospital on her own, but she already burdened this woman enough with getting help out of the woods and getting blood all over her and didn't wish to do so further.

Leon couldn't help but agree with the Jedi Masters, there had unfortunately been some spies inside the Republic during the war with the Sith and Exar Kun as well as slicers that had managed to break into secure channels of the Republic and gain information, though it wasn't constant, it happened enough that he understood now the reasons the council made and why they had selected him to receive this information and relay it back to his superior.
He knew there was at least one man in the military he could talk too, his friend and a general of the Republic, Rylken Sulmar, no doubt he won't be pleased to hear this, especially since he only had a few more years until retirement and now the Republic may be plunged into war again, well if that was the case, then no doubt Leon would be there to meet the challenge.
Xeviiy slowly entered in to the council's chambers, feeling that she would be reprimanded for spying on the council, she didn't mean to however, just her curiosity had gotten the better of her unfortunately and it ended up getting her into some slight trouble. “I know Master Zez-Kai Ell, it's just...I got over curious that two high ranking officers were meeting you, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to spy on your meeting.”
Leon couldn't help but smirk a little at Xeviiy's comment, he didn't blame her, he had been curious himself and if he was in her shoes, he would've probably done the same thing, although probably would've done a better job at not getting caught. “Don't worry about it kid, we all get a little curious, though I think the masters would agree that next time you shouldn't spy on the council.”
Xeviiy nodded to Leon, she knew she had messed up and genuinely did feel bad that she had spied on her fellow Jedi, but she was at least glad she wasn't being reprimanded as bad as she thought she was going to be.
She soon focused her attention when she was addressed by Kavar, her face having a slight look of shock when she was told that if she were to discuss this with the other Jedi that she'd be exiled, not that she would have, but this just showed her how serious the situation was, though she'd be lying if she said she wasn't a little excited to be going with the scouting party. She hadn't been on many missions or to many planets, just mostly Coruscant and Dantooine, so to be heading somewhere completely new, it definitely peaked her interest.
Xeeviy bowed slightly, “Yes master, I understand, I won't speak a word of this to anyone.” Though this isn't the way that she had wanted to get on the mission, no doubt losing a few trust points with the masters that pretty much ran the Jedi Order, she was glad to be on it and she would definitely make it up to them, “And don't worry masters I won't ge-” She was in the middle of speaking when the Lieutenant interrupted her.
Xeviiy couldn't help but be slightly irritated that her age was coming into question, it probably didn't help either that she was still cooling off from that vision session she had, and as a result was unable to hold her tongue back, “Listen lady, I may be young still, but I'm more than capable of going on a mission like this.”
Leon was starting to like this padawan more and more, she was bold as well as a bit outspoken which at times wasn't always a bad thing, it helped keep people on top of things and in check, she reminded him a bit of Anna in that regard. “Easy now kid, I'm sure Lieutenant Sparvic didn't mean anything by it, just that this is quite an important mission and she's just a bit surprised the masters would put you on it.”
“I'm not a kid...but I guess I see your point, still though, I can handle myself, that's the whole point of being a Jedi and if there's a potential for war, then I think as many Jedi as is possible should be sent to investigate.” Xeviiy spoke out again, though it was rare from her usual, slightly quiet demeanor, she would speak her mind if she didn't like or agree with something.
Leon smiled slightly, “Alright alright, you're not a kid and I partially agree with you, but with things like these, the fewer people there are, the better, but I don't mind a padawan joining us on this mission, if anything I'll at least be able to put it down as babysitting service and get a bit more pay from the Republic.” He let out a hearty laugh, joking of course. Xeviiy herself noticing the banter the man was giving her, “We'll see who babysits who when I outclass you in everything you're supposed to do.” She bantered back, giving a small smirk in return.
Leon knew he definitely liked this padawan before him now, deep down she had a passion, a passion to serve the Jedi and even the Republic, no doubt the masters would see her attitude as improper behavior for a Jedi, but an attitude like that was sometimes needed, just to balance out the stiffness of the Jedi Order. “Hmm, well I guess we'll see.” He then looked to the Jedi Masters, “Well if that's all masters, I'll take my leave, report this to someone I know, don't worry, he's a good friend, he'll know what to do and who to speak too.” Giving a slightly lazy two finger salute before turning around, beginning to head out the door.
“Wait!” Xeviiy spoke up as they started to leave, quickly making her way over to them.
“Hmm? What is it padawan?” Leon paused, turning around to face her.
“I was wondering if I'd be able to go with you back to your headquarters, I've always wanted to see what Republic officers did in there.” She responded eagerly, perhaps being a bit over zealous and ambitious with everything, but when you studied as much as she did, needing a bit of excitement from it, no matter how small was bound to rear it's head.
“Well...I don't think anyone there would have a problem with it, you are technically a Jedi, well I suppose it's alright with me, but you best check with the masters if it's alright with them, I know stern they can be sometimes with stuff like this, plus it's not my call alone to make.”
Xeviiy's face lit up, a big smile reaching across her face and then she quickly turned around, her attention returning to the council, “Masters, I was wondering if it'd be alright for me to go with the Major and his Lieutenant back to their headquarters? I won't be gone very long and I'll behave.” She asked, bowing slightly to try and persuade them. She knew that she was already slightly in trouble forcing the council to put her on this mission and then to ask for a favor was pushing it, but the council wasn't unreasonable and who knows, they might see it as a way for her to stay out of further trouble with Leon and Anna with her.
@Dark Wind Hello from the outer rim~. XD
Whew, finally managed to get my post up, combined both my characters' posts into one since they're pretty much in the same location, figured it'd be easier that way then dividing them like usual.

Leon smiled slightly, letting out a small exhale through his nostrils, “Yes, she is Master Kavar, she helps me stay on my paperwork when it starts to pile up.” He responded to the Jedi Master, a small chuckle escaping out of him mouth, it was almost natural for him to speak with the masters once more, something he thought would've been more difficult considering he had left the order years ago.
He put his prosthetic arm up, his hand lightly gripping the bottom of his chin as he paced back and forth slightly, taking in the information and thinking about to proceed next, “Mandalorians are attacking the Outer Rim? That is troubling, I wonder why they're doing it.” He spoke aloud, the last part of his sentence getting a bit quieter.
The masters mentioned how they didn't trust the holofeed channels which was a little odd, there were definitely secure lines that could be used to contact people well above his rank, “Masters, forgive me if you think I'm questioning your choice to inform the Republic this way, it's just...odd choosing to inform the Republic this way, there are secure channels and they can't be hacked into.” He added, he hoped they didn't take it as disrespect, it just felt like more was going on with that then they were letting on, though it was probably just him looking too close to the details and seeing extra stuff where there is none.
When they finally finished speaking with what they had to say, he couldn't help but sigh a little, “Thank you masters for the information, I just hope another war doesn't break out, it seems like the one with Exar Kun only finished.” Leon responded back to the Jedi Masters; though the Republic was healthy and bustling, all it took was one good war to put them in a vulnerable state again, he hoped that wasn't the case.
Xeviiy shifted from side to side a bit as they started to exchange pleasantries, her eagerness was getting the better of her and she couldn't help herself, “Come on, come on, we get it the Jedi and Republic are lovey dovey, get to the point.” She spoke quietly to herself in an impatient tone. When they finally did get to the actual details of what was going on, Xeviiy's eyes widened under the veil covering them, she couldn't believe what she was hearing, though it was partially difficult, as the room wrapped around, it's walls became thicker for more support, so she heard them, though it was more of a light muffle and slowly made her way near the doors, pressing her head slightly close to it.
“Mandalorian's are attacking the outer rim? But why?” Xeviiy whispered to herself, pondering why the mandalorians would be attacking the outer rim, there were a few planets out there sure, but most of the valuable resources were either trade ships or the core worlds themselves, so why would the mandalorians do something like this? Something that would no doubt get the Jedi and Republic's attention? She didn't know the answer, but perhaps listening in more would enlighten her more to the situation.
As the conversation continued on, she couldn't help but agree with Leon when he asked why they chose to give the information to him directly, even if they were concerned with security, couldn't they have just met with someone more important than Leon?
She noticed that the conversation was getting quieter, making it harder to hear, though she managed to make out that they were planning on sending some people on a scouting mission, her curiosity was getting the better of her for sure now, she never seen a mandalorian before outside of the library that held information on them, she was debating whether or not to perhaps sneak onto the mission, even though that wasn't really part of her character, when something in however, she always tried to satisfy her curiosity.
Though she didn't realize it, the door she'd been leaning against had been slowly cracking open as she spied on the closed meeting, pressing closer against it, trying to hear more of the conversation, unaware that things were wrapping up, until finally the door gave way, swinging wide open and Xeviiy herself face-planting onto the ground.
Getting her arms under her and pushing up a bit, she looked towards the people in the room, it seeming like they were all staring at her; she quickly got to her feet, “Um...uh, sorry masters I was just...uh...”
Leon couldn't help but look when the door swung open and then shook his head slightly when the young padawan was stammering to explain herself, “You went for too much, young one.” He spoke quietly to himself, no doubt the council wouldn't be too pleased with the spying, if they figured out that's what she was doing, as well as the interruption, even if the meeting was pretty much over.
