Luke could be seen exiting the Senate building after completing a mission that the Jedi Council sent him on that involved protecting a senator from an assassination attempt. This was the first time the young Skywalker has had to involve himself in the senate and like a lot politicians, the one he was sent to protect was tooth faced in his very nature. Despite appearing to be a kind middle age man, the man has had actually was quite ruthless since he had worked with the Hutts to get in his position of power and not only did they financially support him in election season, but they also eliminated key people who would pose a threat to his seat in the Senate. And when he refused to do them a favor, they decided to send in an assassin. Naturally, when Luke discovered this, he arrested him and handed him to the Coruscant Security Force. As Luke continued to walk wearing his black Jedi robes, a middle age man could be seen being escorted out of the building in hand cuffs. The man's grey blue eyes were full of rage as he looked over at the Jedi Knight clad in black. "You'll pay for this Skywalker! The courts aren't going to believe that an honorable incumbent such as my self has had any dealing with the hutts!" shouted the old man.
The young Jedi wasn't phased by the former senator's words since the evidence against him made the case open and shut case since the Hutts had the assassin carry evidence of the senator's involvement with them in case the assassin was captured or killed during the attempt. As the senator was brought into a speeder, Luke hailed for a cab before one stopped in front of him. After entering the cab, Luke told the driver to take him to the space dock where his ship along with Artoo was at. As the cab flew into the air, Luke watched as the sun began to set and couldn't help but wonder if his Jedi Order would be dealing with the Senate on a day by day basis like this Jedi Order. This mission was completely different then what he was used to since it wasn't as black and white as the days he fought against the Empire in the Rebel Alliance. Once the cab landed at the space dock, the sun had already set and the tall building of Coruscant lit up the night sky. After paying his fair, Luke left the cab and noticed that there was a near by cantina. While Luke only drank on occasion, he figured that he deserved at least one drink after spending about a week on this mission.
When Luke entered the cantina, he took notice of how busy it was and that the patrons consisted of beings from all walks of life and race. Coruscant really is the heart of the Republic thought Luke as he took a seat at the bar. The bartender, who was a male blue skinned Twi'lek took notice of him and Luke said "I'll have a Corellian ale"

((O.O.C--- sorry I didn't get to this until now. Been busy and tired. Also I apologize for typoes, half asleep here.))
It wasn't within words to be able to describe the pain that Adalia was currently going through. The portal she had just jumped through was almost literally tearing her apart piece by piece, and Adalia wasn't sure how or why she was even still alive. It wasn't her own doing. She hadn't acted fast enough to cast any kind of spell over herself to stop the pain, or allow her to walk through the fire without dying. Morgan had survived it, and at the time that was more then enough for Adalia to be willing to risk anything. She could not have peace until Morgan had suffered for it. Perhaps falling through this portal would be enough torment for anyone, but Adalia still wanted the other former Nightsister to feel pain by her hand first. Her Death would follow soon after.
When she did come thought the portal finally, the tear shut behind her, sealing off her only way to return back to the other world in which she had come from. She had fallen straight into a wall, hitting it hard and falling from it to the ground several feet below. That pain really didn't compare to what she had gone though coming through the rift, but it had certainly been noticed, her breath being sucked out of her lungs in that brief moment. She lay with her back to the ground, gasping for a few seconds as her otherwise dark skin paled ever so lightly. Her dagger, bow and energy whip all fell to the ground scattering around her, and as she was able to think straight again she wondered why they were no longer attached to her.
It wouldn't be until after a few more moments that she realized it was rather cold; and not just because she had had her oxygen knocked from her. As she looked down she realized that her clothing; at least a good amount of it had been burnt from her skin when she had gone through the portal. In effect it seemed her items had been flung about aimlessly. She groaned a little, beginning to pull herself up. She realized that she had a few burns on her skin, no doubt from where her flaming clothing had burnt her. She was realizing a moment later that the only thing that made any of this worse was that the portal hadn't spat her out wherever Morgan was supposed to have dropped into the world. There was no sign of the deserter.
She sneered a little and tried to get an idea where she was. The towers were everywhere, and they were far taller then any kind of watch tower or structure on Dathomir. It was some kind of a large city, then, and from that alone Adalia could growl, having the feeling that this would be a long quest just to find the woman she had set out after. Balling her fists tightly she eventually punched the wall, leaving a crack in it as she had been careful to enhance her natural strength to prevent her from breaking her fist on the wall, but it still stung a little. Not that she noticed over everything else that was sore.
She hunched over a little, picking her things up, though without much to attach them too she was forced to hold it all in her arms. She stuck to the shadows, looking through different things for a while as she tried to cover herself, having seen a few people pass by the alleys giving her a strange look or two... from their dress she could tell that she would need more then just this to carry out any kind of search without drawing attention. Camouflage was important for a hunter, and the camouflage of this world was something a little more... modest... then her lack of clothing.
When a woman, approximately her size edged to close to the alley's entrance way, Adalia swung with her whip, catching the woman by her neck and drug her into the alley. The burning cord prevented the woman from screaming, though it was clear that she was trying her best as it seared into the woman's throat. Tears welled in the woman's eyes as Adalia looked down on her. This was not Morgan, and as such she deserved some taste of mercy. Releasing her would leave the woman in pain, if she survived at all; Otherwise it would be a slow and painful death. The answer then was simple. She snapped the woman's neck so she didn't waste blood on the clothing that she needed, and then took what was needed from the corpse.
There were several oddities in the person's clothes, odd shaped silver and gold cards that fit in her palm, numbers being written on them. There was some kind of a card paper which held a projection of the now dead woman. Adalia was keeping all of it of course, but she wasn't sure what any of it did for now. Until she did, she thought it was best not to leave a trail that someone could follow her with. Her dagger slid neatly into one of the many coat pockets that she now wore; and her lightwhip sit under the coat on her belt. The only thing that she had not found room for was the bow... at least very discreetly. Instead it sat proudly on her back, and she would challenge anyone who questioned it.
She began looking then after stepping onto the street, hoping to find any trace of Morgan Neema...

The twi'lek would pour him glass of Corellian ale and placed it in front of the young Skywalker. Luke picked up the glass and his lips touched the glass ready to drink the ale when he suddenly felt a disturbance in the Force. Recognizing the disturbance as another time displacement, Luke put the glass down and sighed since he knew that he would have to skip out on the drink and investigate this latest disturbance. And more importantly, help out the pour confused soul who was suddenly brought into this time period without any warning. Expanding his senses with the Force, Luke could feel a powerful presence in the Force that was full of anger and rage. But despite these powerful emotions, Luke could sense that the being he was sensing didn't entirely give into the darkside of the Force which the young Jedi found hopeful since there was a good chance that he could turn her away. Luke placed credits on the bar table and left the establishment along with his drink at the bar. He would then head out into the streets tracing the Force signature that he felt.
As he walked through the streets, he couldn't help but notice that they were still busy despite it being night time. People in their small stands were shouting at people in order to get their attention to buy their wares, bars and strip clubs had long lines of people and everybody was walking as if they were in a hurry and with purpose. Something that a farm boy like Luke wasn't entirely used to, even after he left the farm with Ben almost four years ago. But despite having all of these people around, Luke was confident that he could find this person through the Force and he could feel that he was getting closer to her the more he walked. The farm boy would then stop in his tracks after finding the person he was looking for who stuck out like a sore thumb due to the bow she had on her back and was facing his general direction. She had a dark appearance that was attractive in it's own way and she had an unnatural set of purple eyes which distinguished her from the other darkside users he has encountered so far. He also noticed that her dress seemed to be in line with the latest fashion which made Luke wonder if she stole what she wore to fit in or was from the not so distant future or past. He also smelled a smokey odor from her and the faint smell of burned flesh.
"You've seem to have adapted to this time period quite nicely. You're in 1357 AHW or 3643 BBY in case you are wondering" said Luke as he looked the woman in the eyes. His hands were at his sides, yet close enough to his belt for him to quickly grab and ignite his lightsaber in case she decided to attack him. While Luke did not want to fight, he was always prepared to do so if the situation demanded it.

Her long strides were clear and meaningful as she moved out from the dark slummy area of Coruscant's Alley ways and under city. She wasn't familiar with it yet, but that hardly mattered right now. She didn't have time to get to know the places around her, not if she was near Morgan still. It might be considered a weakness not to know ones surroundings like this; Adalia was known for using her surroundings on a hunt, but in a case were time was delicate such as this she didn't have the luxury of being able to waste it to prepare for a fight. She had to find Morgan and stop her from her seemingly flawless escape from justice.
She was out of the alleys and into a more heavily populated location now before anyone really paid her any attention. She glanced over to the man wearing black, but said nothing as he was speaking, rambling off a set of meaningless numbers and letters to her. "I was not." She bit as she continued to press on, not even stopping to look him over after her first glance, simply walking past him and directly into the streets. Speeders swerved a little, and she glared some of them down but didn't really give them a second thought as she continued to walk to the opposite side of the street.
After a moment though she arched her brow, realizing that even that man behind her could be of some used to her if she could convince him to help. That shouldn't be to hard really, she was a woman after all and Men should naturally know better then to question anything she was to ask of them. "You!" She turned on her heels again and pointed to the Black clad figure that she had effectively ignored until now as she had walked past him. "I require your services for a time." She spoke, her town showing clearly that she expected his help, and wasn't really asking or requesting it so much as she was trying to demand it.

Luke raised his eye brow in confusion as she told the young Jedi "I was not" and proceeded to walk past him with a sense of purpose and didn't even look at him. The young Skywalker was puzzled since someone as strong as her in the Force should have sensed him, especially when his strength in the Force was comparable to some of the strongest master's in the Jedi Order. Was she so confident in her abilities that she did not see the powerful Jedi knight as a threat or was driven by a goal so deeply that she didn't even register him. He would then turn around and watched as she walked directly into the streets. He would then follow her across the street hoping that she would take notice of him since she was new to this period and wasn't 100% sure if she was going to harm since he sensed she practiced the darkside. She would then turn around and pointed at him shouting "You!"
Sensing no hostilities from her towards him, Luke didn't feel the need to reach for his lightsaber and she told him that she needed his services. Judging by the tone of her voice, Luke could tell that she wasn't asking for his services, she was demanding them. "Umm okay, what do you need me to do?" asked Luke figuring that it might be best to play along with her demands for now and see what she was up to. It was obvious to him that she did not listen to a word he said to her about her being in a different time period and his remarks about how she adapted quickly. He still didn't know what will happen if the woman realized that he was a possible threat, so he still kept his hands at his side ready to reach for his lightsaber when needed.

It seemed the man who had followed her across the street was a little surprised and confused by her determination, but that didn't bother her. All he had to do was answer a few questions for her, and she could hope he would be capable to do that. When he spoke to ask what it was she nodded, pleased to know he was willing to answer her before she continued to speak.
"Have you witnessed a ball of fire? Or another Witch wandering the streets?" She asked tilting her head as she looked to him, waiting for some kind of answer from him with a considerable amount of expectation. Surely someone on this world might have seen another fire ball enter somewhere on the city, it didn't seem like an every day occurrence after all. If not, the very least someone might have seen another out of place figure wandering around. After all these people seemed to have been all so strange from anything she was used to, someone like her or Morgan should stand out to them.
This man had been quick to notice her, so perhaps he had noticed the other one as well, which would allow her to get a start in her search. The other thing she had to ask him took another moment, reaching into the pockets of her tight fitting pants and the over coat that she wore over herself before she pulled the items she had found out. "What is all of .... this?" She asked, holding out the hefty amount of Credits and the I.D Card she had picked up.

"A ball of fire and a witch? Sorry, I haven't seen such a thing. But there have been reports all across the galaxy of people coming here from different time periods by entering a portal" said Luke who's interest was now peaked from what she just said. It was obvious that she came into this place and time through a portal since it matched the description of those who went through the portal, but what peaked Luke's interest was the mention of another witch. Since she mentioned another witch, it was implied to the young Jedi that the woman standing before was a witch which was something the young Jedi Knight has ever heard of. Perhaps a witch was something that people from ancient times called people who were force sensitive before there was ever a Jedi Order thought Luke as he gauged the witch's reaction. "There are others like myself who have been randomly appearing from other time periods as well. I myself came from the far future of this time period" explained Luke hoping that he wouldn't have to explain this to her for a second time. Especially now that she was paying attention to him.
The woman would then pull out a large amount of credits making the young knight's eyes widen since it was the most he had ever seen on one's person. The only explanation Luke could think of as to how she got this money was that she mugged someone, whether or not this person was alive was completely different matter entirely. "Those are credits, you using them to buy things from other people and the other card is an ID card"said Luke getting the feeling that she was either from the distant past or a very uncivilized part of the galaxy since she had no idea what credits were. "This witch that you mentioned, is she a friend of yours or something else...?" getting the gut feeling that this witch was not a friend of hers. Especially with the drive, anger and determination that he sensed from her.

Apologetically the man in dark clothing spoke to her and explained that he hadn't seen anything like what she was describing. Instead he spoke about other portals of some kind that was allowing anyone into the time that she now walked. No doubt an after effect of the curse that had been ruined by Morgan. There was moment of pause which Adalia took and mused over, glancing around a little with a slight curl of her upper lip that was just a hair shy of having enough venom in it to be considered a snarl.
The man then explained that he too had been from a different time, but he didn't seem to mention anything vital. Knowing there were others from across all of time and space; everything that ever happened or ever will were popping up in this single timeline was interesting, but not her concern. She was tasked with hunting Morgan, and it was a personal pleasure of her's to bring judgement on the woman who had caused all of this. Perhaps then the timeline could be reset and things for everyone would go back to normal, but she didn't care if it did or not. Not as long as Morgan paid the price once and for all.
With a look of surprise the man was explaining that the Credits were used for currency out in this world, and the other item was something called an ID card. "I... D?" She repeated, glaring down at the card before she shrugged, tossing it aside and down into a grate of some kind. Whatever it was she found no value in keeping it, but currency was probably something she could use on a more frequent basis. After another second the man was speaking again, clearly curious about who she was and the person she was looking for. She sneered a little as she looked to him; her eyebrows arched for a second in surprise. What right did this man have to question her? Still if she wanted to use him, it was likely wise for her to slate his curiosity and answer his questions. She wasn't going to pull her punches either though; having no reason to lie yet.
"She is a fugitive who damaged my people... I am to bring her to justice." Adalia answered, turning on her heel as she got a look around in an attempt to find any evidence of Morgan's arrival or direction.

Luke watched as the witch made a curl with her lip which was almost to the point of being a snarl, but not quite. There was definitely much anger in this woman and the fact that she was Force sensitive strong in the Force made her very dangerous, something that Luke was prepared for if she directed that hatred towards him or anybody else. After explaining to her what credits were, he found it a bit funny that she looked surprised that what she was holding was currency, but despite this he continued to keep a stoic face. She would then look at her ID and repeated the word he said having absolutely no idea what it meant before tossing it away thinking that it was worthless. "An ID is an identification card that basically tells somebody who you are. It's something that police check for when they are questioning you or arresting you. Though seeing how it's not yours, it's pretty much worthless" explained Luke neglecting to tell her that these IDs could be cracked into and changed. After all, he didn't disappearing that easy for Adalia if she got into serious trouble with the law.
After asking how she knew this witch, Adalia sneered indicating that she didn't like that he was questioning her and from the raised eye brows, he could tell that she was surprised that he would ask questions. Which was something that Luke found very odd since who wouldn't be curious as to why she would be asking around about another witch. But despite the sneer he received, she told him that this witch was a fugitive that has damaged her people. While he could sense that she was telling the truth, Luke sensed that there was something more personal behind this and he couldn't help but wonder who her people were."How did she damage your people exactly and who are your people?" asked Luke looking rather curious.

The man explained what exactly the 'ID' was, but Adalia had already tossed it aside as if it was a worthless item. Which for her it pretty much was. She didn't consider it any longer then that though and made sure to secure the rest of the currency that she had acquired. Before long though the same man was speaking again, causing her to turn sharply and look at him, arching her brow in slight mild surprised. He was certainly filled with questions wasn't he? With a slightly spiteful tone she continued to speak; though she didn't believe he really deserved all of these answers.
"I am a Nightsister, Witch of Dathomir!" She said rather snappily before she continued. "And she betrayed the people, killing one of our innocent if you must know." Adalia said, narrowing her eyes a little on the man that continued to stand there almost innocently through all of this. "And if you cannot help me, what use are you?" She asked eventually, as it seemed the man had no real intention of telling her where Morgan was; even if he did know where she was which Adalia doubted.

After asking his questions, Adalia spun around and had a surprised look on her face again as if she wasn't expecting him to ask more questions. In a spiteful tone of voice, she told the knight that she was a Nightsister, a witch of Dathomir and that the woman she was after killed an innocent. The Nightsister also questioned his usefulness since he didn't seem helpful, which was something Luke felt he needed to prove before this woman goes of on her own to hunt this fugitive down. "Look, I'm part of a group called the Jedi Order and if this woman can use the Force, then they will most certainly track her down since she would be a threat to others" explained Luke as he began to walk closer to Adalia and stopped once he was in arm's reach of her. He would then place his left hand on her shoulder and attempted to use the calming energies of the lightside in order to calm her down.
"Why don't you come back with me to Dantooine so that you can tell the Jedi Council about this witch and to calm down a bit. What this woman did is obviously effecting you personally and your anger will only cloud your judgement and make you do something you regret" said Luke appearing to be understanding about the situation she was in. From what he could tell, there was a strong possibility that the innocent that was killed knew Adalia and Luke himself had seen many people close to him die through out the years like Ben and his best friend Biggs, so he could relate to the anger he was feeling.

With her own demands and questions it seemed to have broken the own man's cover as he explained that he was a member of the Jedi Order. Being from Dathomir she had no personal experience with such a group, at least not closely. But she had heard of them and in recent times it seemed their paths were crossing with the nightsisters and outsiders like Jedi, Sith, Separatist and Republic alike. Besides that Adalia had heard stories and tales of Jedi passed down through her clan from generation to generation. Already she could tell she wasn't a fan, but that was all she gave for a moment before he was making his demand.
Her brow took a sharp arch at the almost comical demand. She had only just gotten here and this man wanted to take her from this world to another in order to question her no doubt and leave her with nothing but a promise that Morgan would be dealt with. She thought not! "I shall not leave until i have dealt with this wench myself." She replied rather sternly back to the man. "Tis out of your jurisdiction how to deal with her." Adalia added with almost a challenging glare to the man.
He had had a point when he mentioned there was anger to her words when dealing with Morgan, but that wasn't even in question. And in the end did it really matter? Adalia would kill Morgan just the same as the rest of the elders would, and so long as justice was served it didn't matter how or who dealt it out. If this man in black had a problem with it she would be forced to remove him, but she would really rather not deal with every single 'intelligent' being on this city world just to get to the one in question.

"While it may be in your jurisdiction to decide and enact her punishment, you don't have any jurisdiction to hunt her down anyway you want in Republic space" said Luke as he continued to remain calm and stoic in this debate of jurisdiction. He knew that the woman was not like what he was saying and he really hoped that this didn't end in a battle between the two. But that didn't mean that he wasn't prepared to do battle at the drop of a hat. Luke would then take his hand off of her shoulder as he met her challenging glare with a calm stare of his own with his eyes blue reflecting a degree of wisdom beyond his age.
"Look, you have to understand that I'm trying to help you since you're clearly not from around here. Coruscation is too big of a place to search for someone on your own and the Jedi do in fact have experience in tracking people down in Coruscant and are able to do it in lawful way that won't upset anybody" explained Luke before taking a brief pause. "But if you insist on hunting down this woman in any manner you want, I will be forced to stop you. So here are your two options, you can either come with me and get help that would allow you to find this fugitive quicker or force me to stop you. I will warn you however that if you do choose the latter not to underestimate my power"
Luke said his threat in the same confident voice he used when he made a proposition with Jabba to either profit off of Han's release or be destroyed and was completely prepared to carry out that threat if she did choose the later option. W

When the man spoke up next, explaining that it was out of her jurisdiction to pursue her prey on this world Adalia had to shoot him a venomous glare. Did he really dare to attempt tell her what her job was? Did he think that imaginary boarders that his own government REALLY would stop someone from doing their job? Adalia found the notion laughable, and as he continued to speak (even going for enough as to warn her not to underestimate his power) it became harder and harder not to laugh at the boy. Eventually when he was finished she simply shook her head, chuckling at his empty threats. "Your imaginary boarders are of no concern for me! What is the Republic that they think they can determine what is right and wrong beyond their own beliefs?" She asked, being sure to give the reason behind her determination to continue on.
The boy seemed ready to strike, and she didn't want to lower her self to such a level... not against the likes of this man... but she would certainly be happy to put him in his place if it became necessary to do so. "My tribe have tales of your 'Jedi Order'... you will not enact proper judgement on the likes of us... Leave it to who it truly belongs to." She warned him. "If you will not help, return to your order, but to not think you will stand in my way simply for having different beliefs then those of your limited view." She warned him finally, taking a step away from him and turning around, making it clear she was beginning to ignore him again.
It was far to late to really hunt Morgan down, and such an argument wasn't helping the matter. If Adalia wanted to survive more then a night or two she would have to find herself some kind of a camp to set up at... and if the man continued to pursue her she might enlist his help... but she doubted he would be willing to help her.

As the woman chuckled, the young knight could tell right away that the woman was not taking his threats seriously at all which gave him the impression that she has a large amount of confidence or couldn't gauge his strength in the Force which was unusually strong like his father. She would then blatantly tell Luke that the Republic's imaginary boarders are of no concern to her before questioning what makes the Republic determine what is right and wrong outside of their own beliefs which raised a major red flag in the young knight's mind. Sure he had rebelled against government rule before he ended up in this time period, but what made that particular government different from the Republic was the fact that it was oppressive and did not reflect the will of the people. "Well most of the people living in these imaginary boarders have agreed to live under the laws that the Republic has passed and just like how you would expect me to live under the laws of your people if I were to step in their territory, it is expected of you to follow the laws of the Republic while in it's territory" explained Luke knowing full well that Adalia would either ignore what he was saying or retort with a justification of why she should be able to to hunt down the fugitive unchecked in Republic space.
She would then explain to the young Skywalker that her people have heard tales of his order and that they will not enact the proper judgement when it came down to her people. After telling him to go back to his order if he would not help her in her pursuit of the fugitive, she stepped back and turned around before beginning to walk away from him. So much for diplomacy thought Luke as he removed his lightsaber from his belt. The man really wanted to find a peaceful alternative to bring her back to the enclave, but she was giving him little to no choice. A green blade of light suddenly sprang forworth with a snap hiss sound as Luke activated his lightsaber and held the weapon with both hands in front of him and the blade pointing into the air. The people around the two took notice of the man in black wielding a Jedi weapon and began to whisper in amazement since it was rare to see a Jedi in person.
"I'm giving you one last chance , come with me peacefully or I'll take you to see the Jedi Council by force" said Luke in a stern, yet calm tone of voice.
