8/22/2019 Sage Reveals His Weaker Side 04.04.05 - 76kb

1/27

I think this is the last or one of the last scripts in the clonesaga, for now anyway. This takes place after Sage learnsof the plan having failed and seeks to redeem himselffrom he sees as his failure but as he finds out,

sometimes, a mistake is a mistake and can't be undoneor justified. It can only be accepted.It really does hit him that he can't always win the day,

which isn't an easy thing for a hero to accept. He realisesthat there may be no way that he can stop Devillahwithout becoming what she is, but it doesn't seem tooccur to him that someone else might be meant for thatrole.

I really like how his true weakness is revealed - hiscloseness to his friends.

Jedi_Master_Sage rises from the lake, his robe of naturallywater resistant silk-fibres drying as it touches the air.with his dark robe worn loosely around him, he headstowards the palace terrace8You are no longer marked as being away.

BljarEgleHak she wonders if her Master missedher while she got her arm fixed...

disapeared off into the night, to keep her task...

Biljara had changed her mind about speaking to him, sohe picked up the Isleish paper again, turning off thenews on lil B-Man, folding it to the back, where otherscould now read the headline 'BOTO SHOT SIX TIMES" >

Jedi_Master_Sage turns to bil "Oh? Is that so?" llan_Claymore and he started to read the article on

NOrthern Isle joining the republic, and how it sparkedmore riots

llan_Claymore over not off^) BljarEgleHak : at least that is what I was told..you and leongatha went there.. only reports said thatleon had died

Jedi_Master_Sage "Thats terrible.." he turns to biljara "I'm

llan_Claymore retrieved his ciggy and looked to Sage"sorry, juss.. tell'n th' paper an' me frien' 'ff 't the sametime... "

BljarEgleHak feels like she is getting ignored... Jedi_Master_Sage "ah I see" he turns to jara "so how have

BljarEgleHak : divorced her.. she nerver turnedup again .. Im going to marry my first Master ... he saidhe will

BljarEgleHak : and gamall says that its ok8Brdo has returned.

Jedi_Master_Sage : Gamall, so that is your master's name?Wait.. you're going to marry Shade? Are you insane?

Brdo strolls up onto the terrace, brushing some hairfrom his face as he looks around, raising an eyebrow ashe sees Biljara..... she looks so familier to him...

BljarEgleHak : at least he loves me Jedi_Master_Sage nods to brandon BljarEgleHak : he .. has never stopped caring

about me BljarEgleHak : ( is slightly mad ) Jedi_Master_Sage : Biljara.. you went through this before..

BljarEgleHak : I needed someone8Talera has joined the conversation.8Talera is away.

Brdo pausing for the longest time, his mind finallylocks into place as he steps forward, "Bil....?"

Jedi_Master_Sage : tal] Jedi_Master_Sage : you needed yourself Talera : sage)) BljarEgleHak : oh hi.. Jedi_Master_Sage looks to allan "is that headline

as he steps up to her, holding a large hand out to her,"Jara then, whatever.... how're you?" he's mainly happyto see her again. It had been ages!

BljarEgleHak takes his hand... BljarEgleHak : lets get out of here.. Sage is being

8BljarEgleHak is away.Brdo following after her, he gives a little nods to

Sage as he leaves before he looks to her, "how've thingsbeen?"8Brdo is away.

Talera walks from her house to the palace for her morningcup of tea and to read the morning paper. She walksthrough the garden and onto the terrace. She walkstoward the bar and nods to Ron in a warm greeting."

awe, "wow...... last time i saw you you were in jail withan artificial arm...... and now here you are, queen of aplanet!"

Talera settles herself onto a stool and smiles as ron sets ahot mug of her favorite imported tea in front of her. Shewraps her hands around the steaming cup .

BljarEgleHak : well .. a certain dark jedi turnedlight and put me there .. since all the deaths of all thosewith that symboite thing I am queen of all

Jedi_Master_Sage looks to allan "is that headline

Brdo he is still stunned by seeing her, but by nowhe's recovered and walking briskly along with her, "So.....how're things with your girlfriend?"

llan_Claymore to sage "aye... tis... unfortunately" Botohad sent a message before Allan got to read the article,which was a little uninformed...

Talera looks over seeing Sage and smiles warmly. Shetucks a wayward lock of wavy ayburn hair behind her earand says" I am well Sage how are you?"

BljarEgleHak : im onto men nowllan_Claymore : dial up is evil)

BljarEgleHak : getting married to this grate man Jedi_Master_Sage : Is boto alive? I've been

BljarEgleHak : yes.. had a change of fate when Imet my new palana

llan_Claymore "aye" he said quietly "'e barely were...Carley tol' me tha... but tis fine now, damn slug t'rowersbe worse then blasters"

Talera frowns slightly " would you like to talk about it?"dnever heard Sage worry over someone being upset withhim. For some reason this was endearing to her and shewanted to help the man that always helps others.

BljarEgleHak : he is wonderful Talera : she'd*)

Brdo smiles, "he sounds like such a cool guy.....

business trip.. he is a very bizzy man but he will fix it ineventually

Brdo : so... do i have to treat you any differantly? Like,worship you, or bow or something?

Jedi_Master_Sage looks to allan "I would like to see him if

Talera : w00t!)llan_Claymore : Ave)

BljarEgleHak : yep still as crazy as ever

BljarEgleHak : but .. I kinda like being rich Jedi_Master_Sage : Thank you sir, are the people of Isle

accepting of other species? Jedi_Master_Sage : Or will I need to hide my eyes with

sunglasses?Brdo grins and takes a small flask from his pocket,

gulping down some red liquid before putting the flaskback in his coat, "cant say i blame you, being rich is

probably cool"

Talera smiles at allan" good morning sir" She crossed herlegs beneath the bar and slips her light jacket from hershoulders. She wore a light sundress which was not theusual for her. She was planning a day trip with her girlslater.

llan_Claymore : aye, usually do.. tho dinna know 'f NoRitis, ain't 'eard they stopped.. juss dinna say ye a jedi.. erye ge' chased 'ff with pitchforks an' torches like 'n ogre

to talk to mel first XD)) Talera smiles at Ron and begins to order some tea for

Sage but then realizes she cant remember what kiind he


9/27

liked. Chammomile or Earl Grey. She looks to Sage andgives him a sheepish look" I forgot your pleasure Sage"

Jedi_Master_Sage : Cammomile pleaseBrdo smiling, he shakes his head, "Never liked

speeders, dont need a new wardrobe, and i work in thepalace so room and board is free. Though, thank you somuch for the offer"

llan_Claymore : blech!) Jedi_Master_Sage : Thank you sir, I'll remember that

llan_Claymore might have a peppermint tea in a minute ) Talera nods and says to Ron" as the man says" She then

turns toward Sage giving him her attention but she waitsuntil his business with Allan was through

llan_Claymore nodded once "'f ye go... lemme know aye?

i tink i may 'ave tae go an' drag 'im back tae th' stud'ofer 'e goes an ge's shot gen... er Rob'n kills 'im"

Jedi_Master_Sage : of course sir.llan_Claymore "t'ank ye" he waved his hand at them in a

stupid gesture "go bout ye business.... " the entire bandhad one strange sense of humour

BljarEgleHak : oh well.. I gotta go now.. myserants are waiting .. dont want them to be tied upwaiting for me ...

Talera smiles at that she knew Boto and considered him agood friend. She didnt know what Allan was talkingabout but she imagined it was just more of the samestruggle within the band that Boto spoke to her about.

Brdo : alright Jara, you take care ok? I hope to see youaround sometime

-Avelon_Starblade- : lmfao, hitting my DVD player makes it work)) Jedi_Master_Sage : I just can't help but feel that she blames

me for what happened.. she supported the idea of the facadellan_Claymore "oh.. wait.. i fergot... 'f ye do go... jus be

careful in NoRI aye, woul' 'ate fer ye tae ge' 'urt by th'extremis's like Bo'o did... kay? they tend tae blow crap uoften, an' 'ave been shoot'n at innocen's now" he said tosage, before reading again

we went along with the plan, and you suggested it..lemme GRIEVE )

BljarEgleHak her two guards.. there go withher... they kept rather quiet...

Talera blinks as Sages words come from the blue. Shelistens intently and then says softly" perhaps heremotion simply comes from the stress she is under and

not from any irritation at you."llan_Claymore nodded once and kept reading, smoking

and drinking Jedi_Master_Sage : I'd like to think so.. I'm just not sure if it

isn't my fault though.. Jedi_Master_Sage : I want to tell myself that the clone may

have been decieved for a time, and that we may haveminimised the damage. I just fail to convince myself.

little while, really just needing some time to sort throughher thoughts and feelings by going for a run, and shemoved towards the terrace, dressed in sweat pants, atight black shirt with a v-neck, sandshoes and >

Talera tilts her head and the look on her face is simplyone of dismay" now Sage, really. Could you have known,I mean truly known that her clone could not bedeceived? " she wonders why now he felt insecurityover his judgement.

mission there is risk. The point is that you were proactive here and

you tried. Surely you can agree with that.

Talera : night zeel) chose to ignore the conversation going on

between the tw, it drudged up too much pain, that shewas barely coping with right now... guilt... it was an evil

feelig for a zoolfadian, they weren't accustomed to it...and she struggled to deal with it, as > she had previously... and she ordered an

hebal tea from Ron, forcing a smile onto her lips8Aubrie_Jabiim has joined the conversation.8Aubrie_Jabiim is away.

Talera : aubs))-Taki_Takahashi- : Aubs))Aubrie_Jabiim : Tally Taki >>

Jedi_Master_Sage sighs "I know. I just remember when we

tracked down the droid hunters on Zoolfadia, using thepsi-net.. its a long story, but then, I helped her engage insomething that was a critical moment in her fall todarkness. that in itself was terrible.."

Jedi_Master_Sage "but what hurt me most was not herturning, but how our friendship was broken for a time"he says all this, not yet aware of dee's presence, such isthe effect this has had on him

Talera : and you worry over the chance that this will do the same...

8Brdo has returned. "mobb, cieqoeya jw'yabs zajk j'kie imiethyc co kwod..." she muttered softly into her drink in thesoft flowing tones of her language

Brdo stepping back up onto the terrace, he nods toall there, smiling a little and then...... he sees Dee......and kinda forgot what he was thinking

: cie'qo eya^) Jedi_Master_Sage : yes.. and that also concerns me, that I

care more about my friendship than ...

Talera nods as if it now dawns on her . Of course. " Sage Idon't believe you made an error. I believe her clonebested you both for the time being but I think it hadmuch to do with the simple fact that not all was known.How often does that happen in life?

Jedi_Master_Sage he turns to face dee now realising she is


13/27

there "Oh I'm sorry... " Jedi_Master_Sage : how much did you hear? Talera : of course sage...I was not speaking of Dee returning to

darkness I was referring to your friendship.

Talera leans to the side and notices Dee sitting there. Shesmiles warmly at the woman. There was nothing sheregretted saying and was fine with the prospect thatDee overheard. It might be good for the woman to knowshe was cared about . And by Sages own

Talera mouth. "Wobby Jivo... ids cyho kwid ody'avw" she

said almost coldly, not even realising she was stillspeaking in her own language, as that has been all shewas speaking at home, it had stuck.. she was more

comfortable with it "ids u ic dyk vy'udv ivi'ud... ic > dyk ib'by'mos ky vhuolo?"

Jedi_Master_Sage decides to use the force to translatethis...

ish evil ) Talera sighs she really must learn this language.

Kibohi... " she added looking to tal Jedi_Master_Sage : Oh Desaray, of course! I never meant

otherwise.

Aubrie_Jabiim if you say so, Dee...)) has a font made, that if used right cantranslate Zoolies to Basic)

Talera blinks as she notes the look from Dee. She wastotally lost and in the dark.

Brdo looking at Dee for a while with those big googoo eyes, since he's never seen someone as pretty asher. he has to blink for a while before he recovers fromhis moment

-Taki_Takahashi- Walks on to the Terrace and looks aroundalittle and thinks some, He wears his normal kimono thatis red and blue, he smiles alittle and says toSage"Ohaiyo! Sage-sama"

Aubrie_Jabiim is sooooo gonna slap Brandon if he dun pickhis jaw up off the floor here soon ))

Brdo picks his jaw up, then looks to Aubs and drops

Brandon in cold blood while he sleeps... then ends ooc))

wondered why Talera was looking at herlike she is mental, then realised, and coughed slightly"forgivez me" she said softly, her accent much thicker...seeing as all shes been speaking at home is Zoolies...althogh she seemed to have ease with basic.. >

Jedi_Master_Sage looks to taki "Taki-sama? its been sometime"

really it was difficult to form.... "and if it izalrightz for me to grieve, why iz it you appear to zit andcondem me forz doing zo?" her voice never raised above

its near whisper-Taki_Takahashi- Smiles more and puts out his

hand"aye"nods his head to what sage said. have some ease^)

Talera : frowns slightly" Dee, where do you find condemnation inSages words? He expressed concern over your friendship and that

he was upset that he felt his actions caused you pain. Surely you

can find no condemnation in that"

Jedi_Master_Sage turns to Dee "condemn you? If anything

I've only condemned myself, a jedi is supposed to not beaffected by feelings of friendship, to the point of feelingguilt over a failed plan. yet I've struggled to forgivemyself for it"

Talera felt Dee was being too harsh and would do what shecould to prevent Sage from being anyones whipping boy.He felt enough guilt.

Jedi_Master_Sage looks to Taki and shakes the offeredhand "you're a long way from Bakumatsu"

"but you zit and zay you fearz I mayreturnz to ze dark" her mind was starting to short out onher some, due to the fact it was so closed off.. it wasreacting badly to not having felt a link for sometime..."and yez, you maybez conzerned, and you zhould>

-Taki_Takahashi- hai.. i am, but the meiji and the planet isalright"

Talera shakes her head " no Dee you misunderstand. Sagesaid he was concerned that he might have damagedyour friendship. " she stopped, hearing Dees last words.

Jedi_Master_Sage : feel guilt? I have and I do.. Jedi_Master_Sage turns to taki "what brings you here?"

"i cannotz continue to do ziz" shewhispered slightly, placing a darkly tanned hand to herforehead, maybe the attacks did more damange thanshe realised.. or she was going insane "i zhould not hazcome here..."she said, gathering energy to stand

-Taki_Takahashi- "Trying to pull off a Trading for weaponsand clothes... if that works the meiji will be a better

planet... we are still working off the civil war there.. butthanks to your help.. the merc and hunters will not comeback to the cities and attack them."8_Harriet_Kilton_ has joined the conversation.8_Harriet_Kilton_ is away.

: Harriet)Aubrie_Jabiim : Harriet Potter >>

Talera was actually shocked that Dee , even in the painshe was in , could wish guilt and suffering onto someonethat had only tried to help. She didnt understand howshe could blame Sage . It could have been anyone thatformed a plan to stop the clone.

Jedi_Master_Sage "Desaray.. I don't blame you" he turns totaki, "thats good to hear.. but as I recall, the victory wasfrom both our efforts, not mine alone"

"i iz zorry" she said quietly, forgetting hertea... she couldn't understand the directions herthoughts were taking, she too had shacked herself atwhat she had said to Sage "you zhould Zage...you really

zhould" she said quietly, almost struggling to > her feet... : shocked^) : has no idea how o became a)


16/27

Jedi_Master_Sage : Neither of us could have knownDesaray.. Desaray.. is there a chance that we achieved somegood? Is it possible that we delayed the clone just longenough to ensure the others had made it offworld?

Talera turns to Sage. this was silly. She blamed him andhe welcomed the guilt. This had to end." alright enoughboth of you. This had got to stop. Your guilt serves no

purpose except to alienate yourselves from eachotherAND from the solution"

"zey nezer left... zey iz zafe zough.. " shestopped at the exit looking back to the two "i doez notknowz why i zaid zat Talera, it waz wrong of me, forgivezme...." she then turned slowly to leave

Jedi_Master_Sage manages to maintain his composure inspite of the current emotional state he's in "of courseTaki-san. welcome to naboo" he turns to dee "wait..

please, we will aven... we will see justice is done" when the hell did sage get 3-D before hewas only 2 )

Jedi_Master_Sage : huh?] well before he was so... emotionless andperfect and never slipped up... its cool, im just messinwith ya)

Jedi_Master_Sage : ooh, yeah, you bring it out in him] : me?)

Jedi_Master_Sage : ya] : cool)

Talera looks sharply at Sage. He was going to say avenge.This was spiraling out of control. " Dee, walking awaywont solve this. I have nothing to forgive you for." sheran a hand through her hair and thought there was somuch beneath the surface here that

choose to be alone? a friendship affects me this deeply.. Talera thinks well what could she say to that? She knew

that feeling of such deep grief that she wondered if shewould be able to climb out of the pit. She however hadnot experienced the psycho clone with a mental link thatknew her every thought.

MrdKulu has a nasty cold)) Jedi_Master_Sage : damn]

Aubrie_Jabiim got ta drive >>Aubrie_Jabiim whahahahahaha >>

Talera thinks to herself ' perhaps its not a friendship at all'it was a surface thought as she was not concerned withhiding her thoughts at all.


18/27

Jedi_Master_Sage : what? No Talera. I can assure you, itsnot like that. my friendship with Desaray is of a rare kind, butit goes no further.

Talera blinks and looks up. "what? Sage! if I wanted mythoughts broadcast I would open my mouth" she standsto leave. She trusted him and this felt like a betrayal .

Talera : Ill leave you two to talk Jedi_Master_Sage : I'm sorry.. this is all getting to me

Talera waves her hand to dismiss it. She would not add to

his burden she would simply go" I hope for your sakesyou work this out and work together ." moves to walkpast sage and into the garden. She nods to Dee as shepasses as well.

Jedi_Master_Sage : I'll.. do thatMrdKulu turns delicately to Paaja...her concern

Talera walks into the garden , she was no help to them.What advice could she possibly give them? Sage wiserthan she was and Dee, well she knew the situationintimately. Who was she to even try. She was reelingfrom Sage blurting her thoughts like that.8Talera is away.8Brdo is away.

llan_Claymore "lass" he said softly to Tal " i know ye mos'prolly wanna be alone, bu' ye okay?"

Jedi_Master_Sage : The next time an apprentice asks mewhy we do not allow them to engage in romance, I'll tell themof this. how just a close friendship, could invoke such a lossof emotional control..

: and nezer let zem build up beyondz yourcapabilitiez

Jedi_Master_Sage knows what she means, but hopes thatshe can decipher his own cryptic message, "do you knowme that well? be careful, you may betray you fears toher.. we can't let her know that I could be turned... if..

she knows.. she might try to turn me against you" couldn't decipher a damn code with the

code breaker infront of her right now.... and she watchedhim for sometime, before slumping back into her chair,sitting uncharacteristically sloppy in it

Jedi_Master_Sage : I'm sure you'll work out what thismeans.. but she must not know.. you can't let her know
