Tsukune Auno a teenaged force sensitive mandalorian was on the run. He and his cousin kyoko had fled from the jedi temple the second they intercepted a transmission about order 66 meant for commander Rex, he ordered them to get in the shuttle and go as far away from Republic and federation controlled space as quickly as possible.
They barely had time to pack their things. Kyoko only got out with her armor on her back and her blaster pistol. Tsukune on the other hand had the clone troopers armor he wore, his lightsaber and a holocron he was studying at the time.
The shuttle pod they were using was a prototype two person recon grade tie fighter kyoko owned and was painted with the mandalorian Crest and a defaced death watch brand below it.
"Now what? The temple's gone, the jedi dead, what do we do? " tsukune asked sadly as he looked out of the front window at the endless blur of white and blue that was hyperspace.
" We survive for now, hang low and such. " kyoko shrugged lightly." Head off to wild space, know a planet we could stay at for now. "
" that's where we're headed? " tsukune asked as he eyed the hologram of a mixed climates planet, roughly the same size as tatooeen." this, Earth? "
" well it ain't no mandalor. " kyoko chuckled slightly." but it's better than Hoth or Tatooeen. "
" What about alderon? " tsukune asked.
" nuh uh, too close to coroscant, clones would find us too easy there. " kyoko replied gravely as the ship's comm spurred to life.
" Rift rider, you copy? " a teen's voice asked.
" This is Rift rider, how's it going fette? "kyoko asked over the comm.
" I told you that I prefer Bobba, my First name. " came the agitated reply." anyway, Palpatine put out a bounty, four hundred thousand credits if ya bring in a jedi, half if you bring them in dead. "
Kyoko and tsukune cast each other nervous looks and tsukune stayed quiet.
" sorry Fette, don't think I know the location of any at the moment, try Jabba's palace. " kyoko explained, knowing full well that the criminal Lord wouldn't know a thing.
" alright, till next. " Bobba fette chuckled before the comm clocked off. Kyoko quickly deactivated the comm as to avoid any tracking.
" Exiting hyperspace in two days, what do we do now? " tsukune asked bluntly as he messed around with the gold colored holocron. You see during the war the jedi got desperate, even resorting to training force users who walked the line of dark jedi and regular jedi, the Twilight Jedi as the clones called them, would utilize both sides of the force, but often focused on the easier to control ones such as love or happiness.
Tsukune was one such jedi, his master, a twi'lek called carro G'hani was killed two days ago during a battle by a exploding spider Droid, tsukune still missed him as he was his father figure since his real parents Kasami and Kogi Auno died during the siege of mandalor. Kyoko was a run away, her father joined death watch and killed her mother for going against his decision.
Tsukune sighed as he closed his eyes. The holocron which was a octohedron began to shift and rotate at the corners until it formed a pyramid shape and opened, a holographic projection formed as information began to scroll. During the two day trip they both got ready, tsukune studied the holocron and kyoko adjusted her blaster's sights.
When they finally exited hyperspace, they did so hitting atmosphere. Immediately kyoko began to pull up but the ship was groaning under the stress of a violent reentry. They ditched into a charred Forrest.
Tsukune groaned, during the crash, his belt had snapped and he ended up slumped over the controls. Luckily his white and blue clone armor took the brute of the impact. "you alive?" tsukune groaned.
"I'll live. " kyoko replied groggy, having hit her head on the steering wheel." welcome to Earth. "
" The planet hates us already. " tsukune joked dully.
" No wompa dung. " kyoko replied." how do ya feel? "
" like a gundark was set loose in my head. " tsukune groaned as he pulled himself up and kyoko undid her buckles.
" well, let's see who we pissed off this time. " kyoko sighed. Going by her previous track record, whenever she crash landed, she ticked someone off, often the copilot or whoever she nearly crashed on.
Tsukune put away the holocron and had his lightsaber at the ready. Kyoko Hit the explosive release button since the door was jammed and with a burst of pressurised air, the hatch few open with a pop. Standing there was a woman in a black dress with a staff which had a green gem embedded in it. I her eyes were violet and her hair was done in numerous plats.
"hi, I'm ruby, would you two be Tsukune and kyoko? " the woman asked.
" what if we are? " kyoko asked wearily.
" I'll escorts you to the headmaster, he sensed your arrival. " ruby explained.
" Sith? " tsukune asked tensly.
" what's a sith? " ruby asked. Tsukune could tell she meant them no harm and honestly had no clue what he was talking about.
" never mind, why does this headmaster want to see us? " kyoko interrupted.
" Well I'm not sure actually. " ruby shrugged." I'm just his assistant. "
" we'll follow for now. " tsukune replied." we're not exactly local. "
" well that much is obvious, especially by the way you two are dressed and the thing you arrived in. " ruby smiled happily." come on, this way. "
Kyoko and tsukune nodded but followed the woman wearily. They eventually ended up at a primitive but large building where various humans and nonhumans wandered around. Ruby took them to one of the towers of the building and opened a door, inside sitting at a desk was a elderly Wan in white robes.
"He safe? " kyoko asked warily.
" Well, he's not sith. " tsukune shrugged slightly.
" come in, I'm Mikogami, headmaster here at yokia academy. " the old man introduced." The reason I called you two here is I know your ship is wrecked and you're trying to stay low on the Empire's radar, I am offering you to stay here for the next three years at my school. "
" why are you helping us, no such thing as a free kill after all. " kyoko replied, using the old mandalorian saying.
The old man steeped his fingers and leaned forwards." so very true, I am simply wishing you two would encourage my students all humans aren't bad. "
" We're mandalorians not humans. " kyoko supplied.
" to them there's little difference as most haven't heard of them, I to admit I haven't." mikogami supplied then handed them both a sheet of paper with strange writing on it. "I just need you to fill out some details as to not cause distress amoung the staff."
"Sir, what language is this? I know mandalorian, galactic standard, sith and wookie but not this. " tsukune explained.
Mikogami looked perplexed for a few moments then nodded in understanding." I'll ask ruby to help you two then. " he then rung a small bell on his desk and the woman from before came in." ruby, they need help with their forms, they don't understand the language written here. "
" of course headmaster. " ruby bowed as she took the forms." if you'd follow me please. " both mandalorians nodded and followed ruby to another room where she sat at a desk and pulled out a pen.
" name? "
" tsukune and kyoko Auno. " tsukune supplied.
" age? "
" I'm 17, he's 16." kyoko shrugged.
"species? "
" both mandalorian. " kyoko explained.
" abilities? "
" Extreme reflexes. " kyoko shrugged.
" Reflexes and I'm force sensitive. " tsukune explained.
" uh, the what? " ruby asked as she stopped writing.
Tsukune used the simplest way he could think of describing it as." Like a type of magic. "
" oh, okay. " ruby smiled and began to write." hometown? "
" I'm from Bloods den on mandalor. " kyoko explained." tsukune too. "
" okay, allergies? "
" none. " both replied.
" any weapons or dangerous appendages? "
" blaster pistol. " kyoko smiled as she patted the holster.
" lightsaber. " tsukune replied.
" alright, just need to know now if there are any cultural issues we may need to be aware of. " ruby smiled.
" mandalorian right of combat, marriage acts 3,4 and 7 and possibly the Twilight order laws. " kyoko replied. " order laws? " ruby asked.
" deadly force is used if nescicary, all sith are to be detained, no abuse of power and finally never harm a innocent. " tsukune recited calmly." the right of combat states that if a mandalorian is challenged or challenges someone to a honorable fight, they must comply or they will be executed. "
" and marriage laws? " ruby asked, unfased by the right of combat.
" Law 3,multiple marriages are aloud if all parties have legitimate claim. Law 4 any attempt to harm one in the household is a direct insult to the entire household, law 7, consumption of blood from the body is a marriage proposal just as slapping the ass, offering a animal hide or offering of a sacred family treasure. " kyoko explained. Tsukune gave her a odd look.
" since when do you remember laws? " tsukune asked in shock.
" since I needed to know the law to break them. " kyoko smirked happily.
" okay, well that's done then, I'll hand these to the headmaster and be right back. " ruby smiled and walked off. When she returned she handed them a set of keys each and told them to find the room number on the key. After a lot of difficulty they found their rooms, unfortunately tsukune and kyoko got the only available rooms in the girls dorms so tsukune got a lot of odd looks. He wished the boys dorms weren't full.
He found the door with the same symbols on the key and the note ruby gave him to explain why he was there. He knocked on the door twice.
"Hold on, I'm coming! " a girls voice called. She sounded almost like ahsoka tanno in a good mood. The girl who answered the door was slim but fit, had pink hair and a cross hanging from around her neck." uh, who are you? "
" I'm tsukune Auno, I think this is the room I'm supposed to go to." tsukune explained as he showed her the key and handed the note which he couldn't read. The Pinkett read the note then reread it before ushering him in.
"so they stuck you in here? " she asked. Tsukune just nodded." that must suck. Unless you're a pervert, you aren't are you?! "
" I'm not, I simply don't act like that, it's against the jedi code to mistreat others. " tsukune explained.
" what? The note said you're mandalorian though? " she stated.
" I'm am, jedi was a group I used to belong to, we acted as peacekeepers but we were betrayed and slaughtered by the councilors forces. "tsukune sighed then noticed that there was only one bed." I'll sleep on the couch. "
" oh, no its okay, we'll share. " she smiled." oh by the way, I'm Moka akashiya. "
" nice to meet you moka. " tsukune smiled." I hope we can be friends, never had many outside of the jedi academy. "
" must of been lonely. " moka sighed." I know what it's like, throughout middle school, humans teased me and my sister Ura and isolated us. I hate humans, they're the worst. "
" not all of them are. " tsukune explained to moka." one of my friends Caleb was half human just like my other friend anikan. "
" they, didn't tease you for being different? " moka asked.
" no, well they didn't like me at first because I was mandalorian but they warmed upto me once they found out we all weren't like those who joined the death watch. " tsukune smiled gently." just give people a chance. "
Suddenly the door slammed open revealing a silver haired girl who looked like a older Moka." who are you boy and what are you doing here? " she demanded.
" he's tsukune, the headmaster put him with us because there are no other rooms available. " moka explained." he's nice Ura so please don't show him his place. "
" Why shouldn't I? He looks week to me. " moka scoffed." he doesn't have any aura! "
" uh, like this? " tsukune asked as he gave off a force signature, Ura was floored in shock, he matched her power with ease. Moka fell on her ass too, completely awed at the boys aura. His aura was powerful and dark but didn't promise pain or suffering but comforted them like it would protect them.
"interesting. " Ura stated as she stood up once tsukune eased off with the signature." you're rather powerful. " she stated she then bit into his neck and began to drink.
" sorry! " moka whimpered then also bit him, tsukune was shocked stiff. Eventually they did let go, sealing the wounds shut.
" Why are you blushing? " Ura asked bluntly.
" uh, I-it's just where I I'm from drinking ones blood is a m marriage p-proposal. " tsukune stuttered nervously.
" Sorry I didn't know! " moka gasped with a deep blush.
" well, I admit that would explain why you stiffened, and you are powerful enough to stand beside me, sure why not? " Ura shrugged bluntly.
" what? " tsukune gulped.
" Oh for the love of... My proposal stands tsukune. " Ura explained simply." Do you take it or should I make you know your place? "
" I'll t-take it. " tsukune stuttered, he was brave yes but he had little backbone to women who weren't trying to kill him.
" good, moka? Where do you stand? " Ura asked bluntly.
" I think I'd just like to be friends. " moka replied as she poked her fingers together nervously.
" Moka, don't lie. " Ura growled.
" Fine! I really love his blood! It's got a rich texture and the flavor is sweet but spice at the same time! It is sooooo good! " moka replied dreamily.
" I take it whatever you guys are blood is your diet? " tsukune asked nervously.
" yes it is. " Ura nodded as moka continued to go on about tsukune's blood." vampires need two pints of blood a week to survive"
"oh, okay then." tsukune replied calmly.
"tomorrow we'll take you to meet our friends. " Ura stated bluntly." Kurumu, Yukari, Mizore and Ruby. "
" the headmaster's assistant? " tsukune asked.
" yes, you've met her? " Ura asked.
" yeah, when we crashed here she was waiting for us. " tsukune admitted as he rubbed the back of his head nervously.
" very well, it's dinner time so what do you want to eat? " Ura asked.
" Actually what is there to eat? " moka asked, snapping out of her daydream.
" I don't know exactly, this is my first time here so I don't know what there is and what's good. " tsukune replied.
" I'll make a simple curry. " moka offered.
" Uh, Ura, what's curry? " tsukune asked.
Moka raised a eyebrow but decided to explain." it's meat, vegetables and rice covered in a spicy sauce. "
" sounds like Madoe. " tsukune replied." except we use a bitter fruit for it instead of vegetables. Its actually rather nice. "
" interesting. " ura noted as moka began to get everything ready.
" I never get how people can cook using such primitive kitchens. " tsukune noted." then again, I'm helpless without kyoko helping me. "
" who's she? " ura asked bluntly.
" My cousin. " tsukune replied." she's next door. "
" she moved in with kurumu? I feel sorry for her. " ura stated, suddenly a loud" Pew! " sounded as a hole the size of a penny was formed in the wall. Moka ducked in fear and tsukune and ura rushed next door, fearing someone got shot. Ura kicked the door down to find kyoko laughing her as off and kurumu observing the hole.
" what happened? " tsukune asked.
" she used my gun to kill a spider. She missed. " kyoko laughed.
" hey no fair! I hate spiders okay and... Who is he? " she trailed off.
" mine. " ura growled possessively as she grabbed tsukune's armor clad arm. Kyoko began to laugh harder at her cousin, mainly because of his embarrassed face." oh.. Oh man,did did she propose or something? "
" yes, admittedly be accident at first. " ura noted making kyoko fall over as she held her sides laughing.
" I'll have him. " kurumu hissed at moka.
" over my dead body. " ura growled back.
" oh God, oh God, hahahaha! " kyoko lugged." L-law of manda-hahaha-dalor, you b-both can. Hahaha! "
" Mine! " both moka and kurumu growled, each grabbing tsukune by a arm.
" May the force help me. " tsukune sighed as he continued to be used for tug of War.
