First steps? Or New Chances?

After the incident with Bariss, Komire was seemingly left to his own devices, although... every jedi he passed seemed to eye him with just a bit of fear, All but Ahsoka Tano, and a few others... and surprisingly Ventress...

Ventress, although having a Sentinal guard follow her around to keep an eye on her, was allowed to walk the temple grounds as well with Komire, Ahsoka, and of course Anakin.

However, since he stayed mostly in the Archives 'reading up on history' not much seemed to be happening, at least on the surface of things... Anakin was called out for assignment to Felucia, which he refused, asking another master to take his place, which prompted an available Master in a nearby system to receive the summons.

Ahsoka Tano had officially asked Master Yoda to leave the Order as well in the coming week from the event of Barriss and her punishment, as well as choosing to stick by Komire and constantly pester him about joining the 'Order of Bendu', which he stayed silent about... but it did start the metaphorical 'Cogs' a-turning in his mind.

Anakin was at a loss for what to do since he heard the news later on, as he didnt want 'Snips' to throw everything she once knew away, but he didnt really have the heart to stop her either after the basic disowning of her by the Order at the time... thus he sought someone who may be able to talk some 'sense' into the wayward padawan.

Komire had grown fond of the 'annoying' girl he had seen so much of as of late during this time; And with what he knew of the Starwars universe from his past, thought it would be a great place to start on his goal from Mother Nature... to build his own Faction or Order in the Galaxy... even if he was totally 'Miffed' at the stupidity of the Jedi, and thoroughly disgusted by the documents he had read through, which was nothing more then stupid idolizations of past Masters, and falsified about 'Great Victories' of the Jedi, plus utter Brainwashed texts on what is 'Evil' in the Force, and that 'Light' is the only way... Komire had to admit that they had become pivotal to the current 'Republic' and its survival... otherwise He'd be dismantling the whole complex in a day...

What no one expected on the day when Ahsoka was brought before the Council to officiate her leaving the Jedi Order, was for Komire to step in at such a moment...when Ahsoka was about to relinquish her sabers to Grandmaster Yoda, Komire walked into the large circular Council chamber overlooking the Capital of the Republic... the Senate building seen off in the distance, as well as bustling sky-trafic and ships heading for space.

As Ahsoka had kneeled down to hand Master Yoda her sabers within the Council room, they were abruptly ripped from her hands a mere second before Yoda could accept them, and towards the doorway to an awaiting Komire.

Komire merely continued to walk forth into the room, fully dressed in his Revan robes, after having been cleaned the previous night. the stark contrast of the paleish gold/tan robe and the dark steel armor and helmet striking an imposing figure as he made his way to the center of the large room... momentarily eyeing every present Council member present, as well as planning their up coming test of Spirit... and he had a devious one in the works to 'educate' these brainwashed buffoons.

Since the council was in session for this event... Komire having altered the timeline somewhat both with his arrival, and subsequent actions... also the fact that Skywalker had personally sought him out beforehand for 'Advice' on the matter... every member, including the holo-projections of the Council members was present. The Council members that were attending via Holo-projector, were surprised at this sudden intrusion, and since they had not been witness to Komires previous actions towards Bariss Offee, were in a small uproar over his current blatant disregard for the 'Sanctity' of the Council with his entry.

However Ahsoka's master, Skywalker, was as calm as he could be in such a case... since he personally notified Komire about when this would happen when he had spoken to the man a couple days prior to the current session.

As Ahsoka had been pondering leaving since Bariss' capture, and Ventres' pardon, which was granted by none other than the green Jedi himself, Master Yoda; only that happened the day after the discovery about Bariss, and since Ventress was still under observation, as well as her perceived closeness with Ahsoka and Komire, she was nigh untouchable at the moment.

The Council members arround the room quieted down when Master Mace Windu spoke up to the intrusion, his voice cool and level... but that did little to hide the sarcasm Komire detected within his greeting.

"What brings you here esteemed Grand-vazir?"

Komire twirled both saber hilts in his hands, seeming to inspect them. After a few seconds when the Council was completely quiet again, Komire glanced up.

" I am here out of boredom, my over-stressed 'Friend', and frankly no one told me 'Imp' here was leaving." Komire said to the dark skinned Jedi Master, pointing his left hand, holding one of Ahsoka's sabers, at her where she was before Master Yoda. An obvious lie that only two in the room knew of, but was convincing all the same.

Master Mace was unperturbed by Komires seeming lack of respect, even if it made one of his eyes twitch, and continued to address the council; Many of which knew of what he was about to say, as they themselves had read the reports the Archivists had been able to find, although there were still more being discovered.

"Masters of the Council, I would like to introduce Grand-Vazir Zverian Komire, the Sheild of the Order...."

At the momentary lapse in Windu's speech the council was confused for a moment, before Jedi master Kit Fisto spoke up next, to continue where Windu paused, most likely in an attempt to center himself.

"...Leader of the Great Scourge of Malacor, and Grand advisor to the council." Kit Fisto continued, crossing his hands over his lap while bowing slightly to Komire in respect, before the council became even more confused than they already were, the small green Grandmaster spoke.

"Here, you are, to stop Ahsoka, hmmm?"

The council momentarily set aside the matter regarding Komire, as they had something else to worry about currently, but they were definitely going to get to the bottom of this series of events, and this new man... this "Grand-vazir"....

Komire glanced around the room, and only after did he answer, a slight ball of excitement rolling around in his stomach at the thoughts passing through his mind... "I'm not here for anything in particular no, but witnessing this, I'm sorry to say, I'm curious."

Many of the council members began to look back and forth amongst themselves... some who saw the previous event, wondered 'what would Ahsokas punishment be for this?', while others wondered what the enigmatic man was up to twirling Ahsokas lightsabers around.

Walking up to the padawan, Komire continues his inspections of the sabers, and just as he reached her, Ahsoka stood up and faced him. With a 'Snap-ished' like sound both blades were ignited... one green, and the other almost a pale lime... the council grew quiet waiting to see what would happen, and the holo-projected images watched their fellow council members... their curiosity piqued at how attentive they were being, and just watched on as well. Komire proceded to inspect the blades as he held them out between himself and Ahsoka...

"You weild blades of a Conselor, but act like a Gaurdian...having the resilience of a warrior, but the patience of someone far older than yourself... these are good traits of a Jedi..." Komire shut down the blades, and after holding then with both within his right hand, reached up and removed his helmet, tucking it under his arm, "...So what is this I'm hearing about you leaving 'Imp'?"

"I feel that since the Jedi didn't trust me when the bomb had gone off, that they can't trust me at all, and..." Ahsoka was saying, looking straight into Komires blind eyes.

Just before Anakin interrupted her, as he had jumped to his feet to speak out that "He did trust her", Komire lifted his right hand, and used the Force to keep him silent as Ahsoka spoke. Although seeing this, Ahsoka stopped anyways.

"So if you left, what would you do... become a soldier... a Bounty Hunter like Ventres had... or would you use what little savings you have to go to worlds needing help, just to be lost in the masses?" Komire asked when he lowered his hand again, his head cocking slightly to the left, and his metallic boots clicking on the floor as he balanced on his right leg, seeming relaxed.

Ahsoka didn't know how to respond to Komires inquiry... and thus stayed quiet, although she couldn't look into his eyes anymore from shame since she hadn't thought that far ahead; she just believed that if she left, things would work out better. Since everywhere she went, people still took a wide birth around to avoid her. Bowing her head slightly, as if being reprimanded, she said these thoughts to the man, only for Skywalker to speak next.

"I would always trust you Snips, that has never changed, and will never change."

Looking over towards her Master, Ahsoka smiles slightly, then looks back to Komire.

Komire glances around the chamber, his blind eyes seemingly meeting every masters gaze that was looking towards him, " ...Although I must say I am rather disheartened by what I had found out in the Archives... I think leaving wouldn't be a bad Idea..."

Anakin was thinking that Zverian would back him up in stopping Ahsoka from leaving, froze mid nod, and quickly faced the seemingly younger Je'dai... but before he could say anything, he and the rest of the Council received a bomshell.

"... So why not restart the Grand Order with me?" Komire said, smiling towards the now stunned Ahsoka Tano, "After all, the Jedi order has fallen very far from what it once was throughout the Galaxy, and I plan to start anew in this time..." With a thoughtful glance out the windows surrounding the chamber, Komire continues, "... maybe visit the old temples of Jedha."

The Jedi present via holo-projection were speechless, the Council members physically present were petrified, as from their historical findings, the man before them was powerful... Extremely so... and would greatly bolster the ranks of the Jedi, but he just said he was going to leave... Even if they went through his challenge of "True Spirit" as Komire called it, what would they do now that such a powerful figure would in a sense, just abandon the Order? Young Ahsoka however, merely looked at the enigmatic man before her as he re-donned his helmet, and offered her sabers back to her. Her thoughts wildly speculating on reasons for doing what he did... but one thing kept repeating...

'He would do this for me... even when we don't know that much about each other... why?'

Unbeknownst to her, her inner turmoil were plastered on her face, so Komire decided to settle what little fears she had... and maybe plant the seeds for the Future... After all... as soon as he was through with the Council, he wasn't going to even bother with the Order as it was... He may even put out a notice of the New Order out for the 'dissatisfied' Jedi of the Order currently thinking of leaving.

"Should there be a reason to pick my successor?" He said, again offering the sabers to Ahsoka, "Although we have our work cut out for us, we have plenty of time, so what do you say, you in? After all you were planning to leave anyways."

The Chamber went absolutely still, the fluctuations in the Force converging around that single moment, almost thrilled at what was to come...
