Star23_16 · October 13, 2021, 1:58pm

Ira open the closet and reaches for the suit she used for Hutlar only to pause at a dress folded on the buttom. Memories washes over her and she give a frown at the pain in the chest before grabing the suit and put it on.

She then put on a dark hood and turn to leave the ship, as she pause again then put the ritual brand in the closet and she leave the ship with a grumble

“Once more the trophy collector come up and the three hundred thousand credit. If it for not the group i would not done this, i am a Echani firedancer i do not hide in dark clothing…”

A whispers in the back of her mind reach out: “YoU sTilL CaRe AbOuT PeoPle…”

She shake her head lightly with another grumble as she make her way through the streets of the colony.

“Maybe though i am also watching everything falling apart, Rai is dead, Callista is turning into a hermit as well. Markus blames himself…why did Tara ask that question, all times to do it …”

She glances back and forth briefly before heading into a allyway and disappear from sight.

Eventually she meet with a group of civilians. Some look nervious and unsure while Kleedus keep his calm. She push back the hood and reveal her face.

"Greetings, as promised i am here to get you shape and fit. I will only say this one time. Those who do not wish to fight and endanger themself …step back. Those who willing to risk themself for a better future for those close to you, step forward "

The group look among themself with a hush banter and some step back and some step forward little nerviously. Ira watching them before noding.

“You all likely already gained the first shooting lesson by Kleedus, however you need to be fit and ready to run to fight another day. You need strength and hand to hand combat training if shooting fails and as asked by Kleedus, this is why i am here. As echani i grow up with daily training since five year old. You better show me your willpower in trying and learn now”

She look around then give a faint smirk “Dont worry i start out simple to gauge your fitness… 10 push up, now”

The group get on the deck and start their push up as Ira pace infront of them with a judging look. few of the more fitting people with Kleedus included handle it easy and other struggle with the last few push up before she nod.

“Good work, this will be your new routine every morning after food. Do 10 push up, go for a long jog. I will remind you that lieing about doing it will fall flat as i will keep testing you every time i am here. Those who lie will visble fall behind…as i will increases the amount fast”

She then start to instruct the group in the basic hand to hand combat moves. “When fighting in hand to hand combat it about muscle reflex and repeating. You dont have time to think what to do …ontop of the push up and joging you are to repeat these movement at home but for now …group in two and face each other while doing the movements”

Ira stay watching for a while as the people repeat the movements then lean close to Kleedus and speak lowly. “Try to make a obstacle course to next time., specially wall climbing, jumping on logs and balancing on rope”

She then step back and watching the group train as well explaining and showing thing when asked. Before she know it, hours had past and most the group is sitting exhausted. Even Kleedus seem tired.
Ira then step forward and nod. “I know this is painful for some of you though it will pass as your body get acustom to the straining excerises and training. I did promised you would fall asleep fast heh…”

She push the hood back over the head and turn to leave with the words: “May the moon watch…”

Ira walk into room and push back the grey hood as the people in the room stand up and nod. She look across the people before giving light bow of her head.

“Greetings, hope you rested and fed for the training now”

Kleedus give a small grin before helping putting people into the places. Ira look over the varies addition, wall climbing, wide short pole jumping, barbwire crawling couse. She had seen these before coming to train them but she always end giving a tiny smirk at how fast it was put together.

She watches the people run through the course, where before she saw clumsy people she finally started to see some fitness in the group though still improvement can be done.

She places the hands behind the back and start to raise her voice: “Jonas, faster! you think blaster bolt will wait on you to evade ?!” The male in question jump along the short pole and fall down on the mat before standing and rub his side lightly.

Ira give a sigh before droping the grey robe, wearing her usual outfit underneth as she jump through the poles with a pace that just make everyone stop gawking and finish with a forward flip, landing on the mat then turn to face the people: “I dont expect you to be this fast but try harder. If not for yourself then for those you protect !”

She move aside as she watches the people continue the training with new determination. She pay a extra notice to Jonas again who while struggle still do it faster then before. Ira pace along the poles with the hands behind the back: “Keep it up, do not think on the pain -IF- you fall. Doubt and fear will slow you down…”

She turn to watch the wall climbing and after a moment she nod satified before walking over to the hand to hand combat group training currently. Two people moving back and forth in a repeating movement, striking and deflecting blow. While not true combat the pace had increased enough that it would look like a rehersed act on a stage.

Ira keep watching and giving out pointer through all the execises. Hours past and at the end most seem tired but not exhausted like the first time. She then stand infront of the group with a small smile.

“Look at youself now, you already passed who you was when i first started training your bodies. You faster, stronger …” She look at a one male in the middle of them who still look little big boned. “and less fat…”

The group give a small chuckle as the male in question get shoulder slap by his comrades. Ira then pick up the robe and swing it on. “Your journey is not over , you still have training to do though …you are no longer helpless, slow and weak. Pride yourself on that, do not forget why you go through this.”

She push the hood over her head “May the moon watch”
At that Kleedus put his right arm across his chest with a fist hitting under his left shoulder and the other follow his action, briefly catching Ira ofguard who give a small chuckle and turn to leave.

Ira paces along the room slowly while watching the training tools and course. She give a small smile at the sight of harder course. The wall climbing having smaller rocks to hold on, further apart and even extension out people have to get around. The jumping course have the thick pole raised higher above the mat while slim sandbags swing across it at key point.

The rope run have a thinner rope now, the bars to hang onto and move ahead gotten in. She knew this new course would futher prepare the people for the trials ahead. She give a content nod at the work with the small smile toward Kleedus : “Good work, Kleedus. I also see based on the target practice left over everyone shooting had improved.”

Kleedus give a light grin at the praise and look back at the group of men and the few woman “Heard that?!” A small cheer escape into the room and she witness people handshaking, hive fiving before a tiny chuckle escape her.

She places the hands behind her arms and nod : "Get to it, time to make this new course work for you! "

Kleedus again start to help put people into group and within a moment she witness people during the training, she briefly eyes Kleedus on the rope course thinking the male is quite good at putting the other into the swing. This was good, afterall there need to be some able to take charge if she not around be outside fighting and during it.

As she take look around she notice Jonas doing the pole jump bit better but he end faltering and just standing there balancing nervous at the sand bag swinging across. A sigh escape before walking over and jump on the poles then across until she behind Jonas. "You still fear falling and the pain. Do you want to overcome it? "

Jonas almost slip and fall at her voice and glances back with nod. She then ask one question: "Do you trust me to train you? "
He nod again before she exhaling then pushes him down so he fall onto the mat with a surprise tiny girly scream : “Then you will come back up so we can do this fity times ! Once your body and brain learn that it wont die from this, your fear will fade…what you waiting on ?!”

Jonas rub his rear end while looking up at the words, at the last he rushes back to the start while few of his comrade laugh lightly which she respond to : “It might be fun watching a comrade struggle here but had it been a battle it not been fun. Fear might happen in battle but use this place to it fullest. No one will die here and the more you overcome any fear of pain from this the more likely it is ingrained into you when bantha shit hit”

As she give a lecture Jonas climb up only to get shove down with a new tiny girly scream. This go on for a while though slowly dispite the bruises and sore body Jonas start to stop screaming and finally manage to do attempt at passing the sandbags swinging. She nod before moving on.

Ira watches the rest of the training unfold before going to the hand to hand combat training, she smirk lightly at watching two group sparing a first true sense of real combat though it still clumsy in her view then it still a improvement never the less.

Once more the time fly by until the evening and Ira end standing infront everyone who looking worse for wear after the hasher course, special Jonas and she smirk faintly: “You all done great work, it might feel rough but you been through that before…the very first time. You will overcome this and be stronger for it !”

The group give a small smile at the words before Ira continue : "You already gotten stronger but once you overcome this trial, you are a good cut above the avarage person in the street. You will be ready to face the very thing you wanted to when we all started. I am proud of you all this very moment- yes you too Jonas "

Jonas give a small exhausted grin while looking like he wear a few bruises as a badges of pride. As Ira grab the robe and swing it on everyone give the chest salute Kleedus been teaching them and she give a small chuckle while pullng the hood over the head “May the moon watch”
