Zaalbar Tokocharger

"'technically' is just another way of breaking the rules. Either you obey the rule, or you dont." -- Zaalbar Tokocharger

Zaalbar Tokocharger (aka Zaal) was a talented Jedi Knight and general during the Clone Wars. Like most Twi'leks, Zaal preferred diplomacy over voilence, but dont underestemate him, when it comes to it, he is a deadly foe. Zaal was one of the few Jedi ever to weild a red lightsaber, and once did have an encounter with the dark side of the force...

In The Begining
43 BBY

Zaal wasn't even two when it happend. the Trandoshan pirates attacked his home planet, Ryloth. Destroying anything in thier path, the Trandoshan were ruthless killers. The Trandoshan attacked his house early in the morning when he was still asleep. Zaal was woken by his mother, Amiee, before the Trandoshan could find them. they exited through the back door, and jumped on the speeder as Zaal's father ran out the door. But right behind him was a trandoshan pirate armed with a modified T-16 blaster rifle. Zaal could sence his father say ''run! through his Lekku'', head tails that Twi'leks could send messages to each other. And then the Trandoshan shot him. NO! yelled Amiee, starting up the speeder. When the Trandoshan turned to them, Amiee raced away in the speeder, one hand holding Zaal on, the other hand steering. Amiee was crying over the loss of he husband as they drove away, but was joyed that the trandoshan had not gotten her only son, Zaal. He and his mother were racing through the forest when they find a small cave. Amiee put Zaal in the cave and rides away on the speeder.

After a few hours a Jedi knight comes along. the Jedi sensed Zaal in the cave and came over. "Well hi there, young one." said the jedi night. "Now you beter come along quickly, before more Trandoshans come over." Once they got to a safe place, the Jedi introduced himself as Quinlan Vos and another young blue Twi'lek by the name of Aayla Secura. Zaal was to young to understand much of this, but he knew enough to be afraid.

The next morning, Master Vos started towards his ship, the Killing Star. He now had two force sencitive younglings on his hands, and he needed to get them to Coruscant. Zaal and his new freind, Aayla were caried by Master Vos to the Killing Star, but then Vos suddely stoped. "Stay here, my young freids." Vos said as he set us down. He then puled out his lightsaber, but did not ignite it. He crept forward, slowly making sure he made no sound. he then spoted the two trandoshans talking. "What is our progress, Dheeb?" Said presumably the general. "We have taken over the capital city, sir, but the Republic's forces are holding us there." replied the second Trandoshan. The general then said "well, push them back, or i will strip you of your rank!" He then turned and activated a holocomm. "Get the troops redy for Felucia. We will attack there in exactly one standerd week." said the general into the holocomm. "Yes sir." replied the Trandoshan on the holocomm. The general then shut off the holocomm, and put it on his tool belt. Master Vos quicklu hurried back to us and picked us up. He then went a good distance the Trandoshans and started running towars the Killing Star. Once we got there, Master Vos started up the ship and they flew into space. Master Vos then activated the ship's comm unit. "Inform the republic that the Trandoshans will attack Felucia in one standared week. The clone then replied in a simple "Yes sir. but-- forces--ryloth..." the clone was interuppted by static.  "Some one is jamming our signal!" yelled Vos. Suddenly the Killing Star shok voilently, and then Vos saw it. The Trandoshan battleship. there was no way The Killing Star could stay and fight back, they would be blown to oblivion before they could pull the trigger. They had one option: Evasive action. The Killing Star blasted into hyperspace, and Zaal watched the stars as they turn into a streak of light, amazed. Master Vos takes Zaal and Aayla to Coruscant and star thier traning as a jedi....

The Choosing
33 BBY around life day

Zaal had been at the temple for about ten years now and was redy to become a padawan. He was practicing his saber skills against his togruta freind, Lan Phaseripper. "Good, Lanny, but not quite good enough." said Zaal. "Hey, im just warming up." replied Lan. "And what if i said i was just warming up too? What you gonna do then?" taunted Zaal. "Come on, Zaal, you are beter than Master Yoda. Give me a break." complained Lan. "Ok, fine, but i aint that good. One more round." replied Zaal. "You are impossibly stuborn, one more, thats it." said Lan. and they begun to duel. "Ok, Ok, you win." Lan panted. "Oh, fine . You give up too easly, in a real duel, you aint gonna--" Zaal was interuppted by lan. "Live, you tell me this every time." "well it's true." replied Zaal. "i know, and that is why i train with you." Lan said. "Alright, lets go. it is  getting late, got to go to our quarters." said Zaal. "Good idea." agreed Lan.

When Zaal got there Master Windo was waiting. "Zaal, the council want to speek with you." said Windo. "Really?" said Zaal excitedly. "Of corse." replied Windo. "Folow me." And so they went to the Jedi Council. Zaal walks to the middle of the room and Master Windo to his seat. "Skilled, you are." said Master Yoda. "time, it is, for you become a padawan learner. A master, we have for you. Master Tru Veld." "I cant wait to meet him!" exclamed Zaal. "Tommorrow, meet him you will. now, back to your quarters you must go." said Master Yoda. "Thank you, Master." Zaal then raced to Lan's quarter to tell him the good news.

"Lan! Lan! Gess what!! I am an apprentice now!" yelled Zaal. "What! no way!" Lan yelled back. "Yes way!" said zaal. "who is your new master?" asked Lan. "Tru Veld." i told him." "I hear he went on some missions as a padawan with Skywalker." Lan said. "I get to meet him tommorrow." said Zaal. "Can i come to?" asked Lan "Sure!" Zaal Said. "That is the best Life Day present ever!" said Lan. "sure is, Lan, sure is. Good night my freind." said Zaal.

The next morning, Zaal was up early egar to meet his new master.

(kinda corney huh? XD well, im still working on it)

Ambush on Ansion
32 BBY

Zaal had clearly proven his saber skills against some of the Jedi masters, and other padawans and was about to test his skills against master Skywalker. He walked into the training room to warm up before his duel. But, of corse, Master Skywalker didnt need to, you had to be ready for a duel when most unprepared. After a quarter hour, Master Skywalker walks in. Zaal bows in respect, and Skywalker nods in aknowlegment. Zaal gets into position. "I'm ready, are you?" Zaal taunts. "I hear you're saber skills rivial mine, lets test that" Anikin replied. Anikin alows Zaal to get the first attack, but was not about to take it easy. Zaal comes down with a side sweep, but Anikin blocked it to wasy. "Time to go for somthing more complicated." Zaal thought. Zaal then does a quick stab, which you cant parry, so Anikin side steps. Zaal then swings a head strike, takes a low swing, then jumps over Anikin, swinging at his head once more. An unexpected move, but Anikin was not thrown off guard. Anikin spins around to face Zaal. "well done." Anikin said, as Zaal went in for another swing. Zaal felt a presence approaching, but did not lose focus on Master Skywalker. Hoping doubtly that this cought Skywalker off guard. Zaal takes another side swing, but before the blades connect, he turns the other direction, completing a three-sixty spin,which was a very hard, but effective. move, and the blade, supprisingly, contacted with Master Skywalker. The presence Zaal had felt earlier was Master Yoda. "impressive, most impressive, young Tokocharger." Master Yoda said. "Thank you Master." Zaal replied bowing. "undeniable skills, you have. Skills we may need on Ansion. Overwhelming the Dark side of the force is on Antar. Meet us in the councill room in exactly one standard hour, you will." Master Yoda said. Zaal replied with a slight nod and said "Yes Master." Zaal then turns to Master Skywalker and siad "Thank you for this opertunity tp train against you, Master." Skywalker noded."It was my pleasure." He said. and walked away with Master Yoda. Zaal ran off to his quarters to clean up for his meeting with the council.

The  Jedi council room was a big round room, twelve chairls arranged in a circle. Zaal had been in this room before, but not very often. he walked in to find Master Skywalker and his padawan, Ahsoka Tano. Zaal's master, Tru Veld, walked in just in time. "Trubble, we have on Ansion." yoda said. "The dark sode of the force is supprisingly strong there, and we need you to go and put an end to it." put in Master Windo. "Our troops have been slaughterd by lightsaber, not blaster. We fear that some force weilding beings are hiding around the city tatch'glok, an abandond city that very few know about." Master Kenobi said. "Go, you will, to Ansion. Find these force users, you must." Yoda said. "Some one with the capibility to take down an entire legion of our best troops must have training in the jedi arts." Plo Koon added. "Go under cover as mercinaries to Ansion. The force users may, or may not be fooled, but it's worth a shot." Master Kenobi said. "Thank you, Masters." Zaal said bowing and walked out with his master. Master Sywalker and Ahsoka, however, stayed behind.

Zaal ran off to his quarters once again. He did, in fact, hace some mercenary gear. Zaal was ready to leave in an instant. He then went to tell his freind Lan Phaseripper that he was going on a mission to Ansion. after that he borded a defender class ship with his master. they were early, so studied the controls and the ship to kind of get a feel of what they would be flying in. After about a half standard hour, Master Skywalker, and Ahsoka walked in. Before Anikin could claim to pilot the ship, Zaal shouted "I get to pilot this thing until we reach hyperspace!" Zaal had never piloted a star ship, but he had used a speeder bike, and used the Temples flight simulators. "Master Skywalker, i need you to co-pilot this. i have never piloted a real ship, so i need a skilled pilot with me." Zaal told Anikin. "Well, first things first, if we are going to go anywhere, first we need to power up the engins." Skywalker said sarcastically "Patience, i was getting to that, Master." Zaal responded as he reached to the ignition switch. The engins rumbled as they powerd up. Zaal then throttled the controls and blasted off to space. "Now enter the coordinates for Ansion." Anikin told Zaal. "Already on it." Zaal replied. He punched in the coordinates, and sent the ship into hyperspace. Zaal stood up from his chair, and said "That was easy. I've finnially piloted my first starship." Anikin then replied "And you did well. I couldent of done better my self. ok, ok, i lied, i can do beter. But you did pretty good for a first timer." Zaal walked back to the refresher to get a drink, then walked back to the bridge. After a moment of unbearable silence, Zaal broke in and said "What do you think we will run into when we reach Ansion?" The Jedi thought for a moment. "I have no ideam but what ever it is, it somthing we can handle." Anikin said reassuringly. suddenly the ship was pulled out of hyperspace. "we cant be there yet, we just enterd hyperspace," Zaal said. "Pirates." Ahsoka said "Zaal, you get the right turret, i'll get the left." She said Quickly. Master Skywalker hops into the pilot seat, and Master Tru Veld grabbed the co-pilot seat. it was silent for a second, then the holocomm buzzed on. "shut down your ship, or be destroyed. we will bored your ship ant take all valuable items, including droids." said a crackley voice. "Oh dear" C-3PO said. "dont worry Threepo, they wont take you." Anikin told the droid. "Very well, your ship will be destroyd" the holocomm said. "Not on my watch." replied Anikin, and took the ship into evasive manuvers. "our fire power in no match for it's sheilds, but i did modify our own sheild generator, so we may stand a beter chance." Anikin told the padawans. The Pirate battleship sent out its fighters, and the padawans took fire. one... two... three starfighters already down. "Good aim, keep it up!" Anikin. unexpectedly a lucky EMP missle made a strike. The entire ship, including Threepo shut down. The pirate ship used a tractor beam to pull the ship into the docking bay. Zaal and Ahsoka Run to the Bridge. A defense turrett lowers from the celing of the docking bay and points it's self at the Jedi's ship. The holocomm buzed again. "I will give you another chance, but you will abide by our rules." the Pirate said. Zaal looked throught the windsheild of the ship to find that many trandoshan pirates closing in around thier ship. Zaal rememberd one of the Trandoshans, the one that killed his father. Master Veld opend the ship entrance. Zaal secured his lightsaber to his belt, but he kept it out of sight. "Out of the ship!" yelled one of the trandoshans. Zaal hesitated, but folowd along as the masters walked out. After a few minutes the Trandoshan walked out with nothing other than Threepo. "where are you credits?" he asked. "You are mecernaries, are you not? Tell me where you credits are, or the girl dies." he said as he pointed his blaster at Ahsoka. "We are indeed mercinaries, but our credits are not abord this ship." Master Veld told the greedy reptile. "The droid and the ship is ours. If you dont comply with our rules, you all will die, and this time there is no second chance." He told them. "Not a chance." Master Veld replied. "You have chosen death." the Trandoshan said excitedly. "You will let us go with the droid and our ship." Master Skywalker said nudging out with the force to pursuade him. "You can go. take your droid with you." the Trandoshan said hypnotised. "Thank you, mister Trandoshan." Master Veld said. "Boshk, not Mister Trandoshan." He replied. The other Trandoshans looked baffled at Boshk's decision, unaware of the Jedi mind trick. The Jedi borded thier ship, powerd up the engin, and blasted off into space.

Zaal was very uneasy untill they finally blasted into hyperspace. He wasnt afraid, but disturbed. he remembers thoes Trandoshan pirates very will. He doesnt remember anything else from his childhood life, only the Trandoshans. "I know thoes pirstes." Zaal said after a while. "What? You've never left Coruscant, how can you know them?. Ahsoka asked. "They killed my father. i dont know about my mother, but i think they got her to. Master Vos found me, and saved me from the attack." Zaal replied. "I never thought i would see thoes filthy reptiles again. Its a small universe." There was a moment of silence after that. "Excuse me, i have a meeting with the refresher." Zaal said as he got up. Zaal got a quick drink, then returned to the bridge. They sat in silence until they finnally reached Ansion. The ship raced through the atmosphere, heading to  tatch'glok. Luckly there was a space port intact there. Zaal took the ship in for a landing. "Padawans, you stay in the ship until we come back, Master Veld, you come with me. We will take a look around the city, and look for the Force user tomorrow." Skywalker said. Zaal gave a nod of aknowledgment, and walked off to the resting quarters. Zaal jumped into the top bunk. "Long day, huh?" Zaal said as Ahsoka walked in. "Sure is, didnt expect to be attacked by pirates, but you have to be ready for anything." she replied. "let alone the same ones that attacked my village as a child." Zaal added. "Well, i dont know about you, but i am going to get some rest while the Masters are out." Ahsoka replied. "And i stay guard of the ship, keep the scavengers off." Zaal said. He then got down from the bunk and walked to the bridge. Zaal sat down on the ground and meditated. Zaal's senses increased. He could hear every leaf fall, smell every flower in the feild, and he felt the presence of some sort of animal out side the ship. Zaal got up and walked out the door. Blaster ready in one hand, he looked around. He spotted a small dog like animal. Zaal holsterd his blaster, and walked toward the strange creature. Zaal put his hand out and the dog like creature cautiously sniffed his hand. It then walked closer to Zaal. Zaal turned around and walked back to the ship, but Zaal knew this creature was still folowing him. Zaal enterd the ship and turned around. The dog was sitting right infront of him. This thing was clearly a feirce, but freindly creature so Zaal let it come abord. Zaal spotted somthing around its neck. He belt down to check it out. This Gnarls, as the name tag read, was an abandond pet, left out in the ruins of the city to starve. Zaal took Gnarls in to the bridge, and he sat down in the Pilots seat. After sitting there the masters caled on the holocomm. "It's getting late, and we have not found any thing." Master Veld said. "We are heading back to the ship right now. I'd say were about one kilometer away." Gnarls broke in with a quick bark. "What was that?" asked Master Skywalker. "I'll tell you when you get back." Zaal replied. "Alright, Zaal..." Master Veld said uncertainly, and shut off the holocomm. Gnarls roled on the ground, and Zaal bent down to rub his belly. "You are a freindly one, aint ya?" Zaal said. Master Veld walked in, to see Zaal with his new pet Gnarls. "So is  this  what i heard on th holocomm, Zaal?" Master Veld asked "Yes, it is Master." Zaal replied "It was abanbond out here, just left to starve." Master Veld Thought for a moment. "Well, i suppose having a pet will teach you responsibility." Veld said. "Thank you Master" Zaal replied. "As i said on the holocomm, its getting late. we should rest and be ready for tomorrow." Master Skywalker said. "Indeede it is." Zaal said and looked out the window. The sun had long set, before the masters got back. He walked back into the sleeping Quarters and once again hoped onto the top bunk. Ahsoka was still sound asleep. Gnarsl Jumped onto the last empty bunk and curled up.

Zaal awoke to the Sunlight shining through the window. Gnarls, however, was sleeping away. Ahsoka, and master Veld were already up, and in the Bridge. Zaal got up, and walked to teh Bridge. He sat down in the co-pilot seat and swivled around to face Master Veld and Ahsoka. "Once Master Skywalker wakes, we'll head out." Master Veld said. Ironicly, as he said it just Skywalker walked out (not in the sky XD). "And i belive that is now." Master Skywalker replied. "Lets get going then." Zaal said. every one nodded, then Master Veld broke the silence. "We should split up. Anikin, you come with me, we will take the north, Zaal, you go with Ahsoka and find out what you can out south." Zaal and Ahsoka nodded. "Be back at the ship around noon." Master Skywalker told the padawans. "We will, master." Ahsoka said. The padawans folowd the masters out the door, but then split off if the oppisite direction. Gnarls suddenly ran out of the ship, and jumped on Zaal. "Ok, ok, you can come to Gnarls, but dont cause us any trubble." Zaal told the Anoob a. Gnarls let out a small "woof" of pleasure. "Anoobas are vicous creatures, i've never seen a kind, playfull one like this one." Ahsoka said unceartianly. "Dont worry, he wont hurt a thing." Zaal said. "Wait. Do you feel that?" Ahsoka said suddenly. "I do i'd say head twords thoes caves." Zaal said pointing to a small mountain. "Good Choice." Ahsoka replied. Zaal and Ahsoka ran off toworda the caves. Once they reached the entrance they stoped. "The dark side of the force is strong in here." Zaal said and walked in. After afew minuets they enters an enormus chamber. "If you wish to get out alive, leave now." A male voice echoed throughtout the chamber. "Show yourself." Ahsoka demanded. "As you wish." the voice replied. A red skined, masked humanoid steped out. "Who are you?" Zaal asked. The man chuckled. "I am the greatest enemy of the Jedi, and you dont know who i am? I am Lord Rinqual, the last of the Sith!" Zaal stared at him unamused. "Well, 'Rinqual', i belive you are wrong, you are not the last sith." Zaal said. "Pureblood sith, fool!. not thoes mindless humans who call themselves 'Sith'!" Rinqual shouted and pulled out his lightsaber. Zaal and Ahsoka pulled thier lightsabers out to. "Put down your saber, Rinqual." Zaal orderd. "And i am going to listen to a pathetic padawan? Not a chance." Rinqual said. "Either surrender to us, or we will be forced to kill you." Zaal told him. "I will not suffer the same fate as my master did. You Jedi are weak." Rinqual taunted. "You are out numberd, Rinqual. We may be Padawans, but the two of us togeather overpower you." Ahsoka warned. Rinqual  attacked them, swinging his crimson blade. Zaal brought up his own blade and deflected Rinqual's blade aside. "Nice try, Rinqual, but if you wish to defeat us, you will need to try harder." Zaal said. Rinqual taked a step back and raises his blade. Ahsoka walks behind Rinqual. "It is impossible to defend both sides of yourself with one blade, Rinqual." Zaal said. "Surender now, and you will live." Rinqual still had a few tricks up his sleave. He pulled out another saber, this time it was dubble bladed. "We'll see about that." Rinqual attacked once more. Thier blades were just a flash of red and green light. Zaal swings his saber for a head shot, but Rinqual deflects it. Zaal and Ahsoka take a few steps back. "Rinqual, I give you one more chance, surrender, or die." Zaal said. "I am not afraid to die, Twi'lek" Rinqual replied. "The name is Zaalbar" Zaal informed. "Zaalbar, what kind of name os that?" Rinqual insulted. "The one you will remember when we defeat you, Rinqual." Zaal said annoyd. "Oh, but you will never defeat me." Rinqual said with a smile. Rinqual reached to his wrist and pressed a button. "Attack." Rinqual said. The device on his wrist must be a comm unit of some type Zaal thought. Hidden doors along the walls of the chamber opened and a fwe dozen men walked out. Each one of them armed with repeating blasters, there was no way the Padawans could escape. "Ha ha ha.As you told me, Surrender, or i will be forced to kill you." Rinqual said Zaal and Ahsoka lowers thier weapons. "Hand over your weapons." Rinqual demanded. Hesitantly, they did so. Rinqual turned and said "Take them to the detention section." Rinqual orderd. Rinqual's body guards took them throuht a long hallway, and then threw them in a cell. "It's almost Noon, the Masters will be wondering where we are." Zaal told Ahsoka. Ahsoka was silent. All but one guard walked out. "We will wait, then use a mind trick against this brute." Ahsoka finally spoke. "Good idea." Zaal replied. After an hour of sitting in the cell Zaal got up. "Hey you, Mr guard, brainless brute." Zaal said. "Huh?" the guard said. "Over here." Zaal said. The guard walked over to his cell. "let us out." Zaal said reaching out with the force to pursuade him. the guard unlocked the cell and said "You are free to go." Zaal walked out along with Ahsoka. "And what about out weapons?" Ahsoka demanded. The guard reached into his pocket and pulled out two sabers. "Thank you." Zaal said when Ahsoka handed him his saber. Noon had passed and Zaal and Ahsoka were late. "What are you doing out here?" a guars said and stoped them. "What do you think? were escaping." Zaal said. Zaal took a swing with his saber at the guard, but supprisingly the guard was ready and ducked. Zaal took a downward swing, this this time the guars want as lucky. Zaal's blade cut him cleanly in half. "Come on." Zaal told Ahsoka. Zaal sprinted down the corrider and into the chamber again. "Well well. my guards are weak minded, indeed, but i never expected you to escape so easy." Rinqual said, his back facing Zaal, and Ahsoka. "Very well, i shall finish you once and for all." Zaal made a face. "A pureblood sithm who doesent have real lightsaber training, is gonna beat to padawans, one of which is the padawan of the greatest duelest in the order?" Zaal said, testingly. "Ha ha. Of corse i do." Rinqual said then added half to himself. "Fools" Zaal tooka step forward, and Ahsoka folowd. "Ladies first." Rinqual said with an evil grin. "Ah, i see how it, you go for the weaker os us first." Zaal said. "Hey!" Ahsoka shouted. Zaal steped behind Rinqual and engaged in a feirce duel. After ten or so minuets of dueling, Zaal backed up a few steps. Zaal raise his saber, but did not strike. Rinqual spun aroud, expecting the blow that did not come. Rinqual cuts off his own hand with his doubble bladed saber. "AARRGGHH" Rinqual screamed. "Hmph." Ahsoka said. "You simply cant weild more blades than hands." Zaal said. Zaal got his emergency med pack out. He bent down and rapped Rinquals severd wrist in a bacta bandage. "We dont want you to die of infection." Zaal told Rinqual. "You patheetic Jedi have way to much compassion. You will even help your sworn enemy." Rinqual said with disgust. "Dont worry, you wont bearound much longer, Rinqual." Ahsoka said. Zaal got under Rinqual's right arm. "Ahsoka, get his left arm." Zaal said, and she did so. Zaal and Ahsoka hals dragged Rinqual all the way to the ship. "Where have you two been? it's three hours past noon." Master Veld worried. "Maybe this explanes." Zaal said, indicating Rinqual. "Oh my.. Do you have any clue what or who this is?" Veld said even more worried. "He clames to be a pureblood Sith, what ever that is. His name, Lord Rinqual." Zaal informed. "Pureblood sith indeed... but thoes were extinct for a Millennium."Veld replied
