Vision Quest

Prologue

Near the Kashyyyk system, a dynamic-class freighter ship was being pursued by an imperial-class Star Destroyer.

Inside the Freighter Ship

"We got TIEs in coming!" yelled a male Mandalorian half-breed; who sat next to a female Zabrak in the ship's communication room. Axel Ordo, the system and radar monitor.

"V take the turret." Came a thick Zygerrian accent at the ship's cockpit. That belonged to male Zygerrian Jethro "Jet" Anjek, ship's co-pilot and navigator.

One of the TIEs in pursuit manage to hit close to the ship's engine room. "We're hit! Lily check the engine for damage!" a panicked female Zabrak named Ríona Drake shouted.

"On it!" a female human said as she bolted towards the engine room. "Whose dumb idea was it take this job!" yelled the human who went by the name Lily Atar, also served as the ship's engineer.

"Pretty sure it was yours!" yelled a female Amaran named Adara A'kazz, who was bandaging a male human's right arm in the medical bay. Who served as the chief medical doctor. "Alright, I'm all done. You're good to go." She said to the male human.

"Well I don't know it was going to be this bad. I mean it's the Empire." Lily said in an annoyed tone. "Like they've ever been a threat to us before."

"Captain, we need you in the cockpit." Jet interrupted from the cockpit.

"On my way." Said the male human from the medical bay. He rushed into the cockpit and sat next to his Zygerrian co-pilot. "Lily how's that engine looking?"

"The damage is not bad. I'm fixing her as fast as I can." Said Lily at the ship's engine holding a wrench. "Lucky for us the hyperdrive isn't damage."

"The Director wants an update Captain." Ríona said. "What should I tell him?"

"Well, we have the cargo. Perhaps that's why the Empire is trying to kill us!" Axel said in a sarcastic tone.

"You know…" started Ríona.

"Fight later you two!" yelled the ship's captain. "Jet set the hyperdrive and get us out of here! V give us an opening!" Several shots from the ship's turret, and blew up some TIEs. "Nice! Alright let's go."

Inside the Star Destroyer

Suddenly the ship they tried to pursue shot into hyperspace, and out of the Star Destroyer's sight. An imperial officer walked over to the Admiral. "Sir, the ship has escape with the cargo." The officer said.

"I can see that. Inform Governor Tarkin." Said the Admiral.

"Yes sir."

Near the Mandalor System

As the freighter ship came out of hyperspace close to the planet of Mandalor, the crew had gathered in the main hold. A hologram of a static figure addressed the crew.

"Excellent work retrieving the cargo." Said the figure.

"Thank you, Director sir." Jet said with a slight bow. "If I may ask sir? Where are we taking the cargo? You never told us."

"My contact is meeting you on Lothal to pick it up." The Director finished, noticing the captain frowned when Lothal was mentioned. "It there a problem, Mikal?"

"No sir. None." Answered the captain, who went by the name Mikal.

"Very well, you are all dismissed." Said the Director before the hologram disappeared. Which had left nothing but stunned silence in the main hold.

"Awkward." Lily said quietly as she leaned over to Axel. The engineer was short 15 year-old human female, only standing at 5 feet (152cm) tall with a slim but curvy built. She had chin-length ginger hair loosely tied in a bun and teal coloured eyes. Lily wore an emerald green body suit with brown slip on boot and a matching brown three-quarter sleeved vest (same outfit as Aurra Sing but green instead of orange). She had pouch attached to her right upper thigh to carry throwing daggers and a belt to hold her tools to match.

"Tell me about it." Replied Axel. The 19 year-old Mandalorian-Zeltron half-breed wore a black tank-top with a copper coloured vest and pair of tan coloured pants with silver Mandalorian boots (same outfit as Canderous Ordo from KOTOR). Axel had short dark blue nearly black hair with hazel eyes. He stands at 6 feet 3 inches (190cm) tall, with a muscular built. Although half Zeltron he looked human with little to no Zeltron in him. Axel had an E-11 blaster rifle with the stock extended on his back over his right shoulder.

"Are you alright Captain?" Jet directed the question at Mikal. Jet wore traditional red Zygerrian clothing with black accents and black boots. He was standing 5 feet 11 inches (180cm) in height with a slightly muscular built. The 25 year-old had yellow eyes with brown coloured fur. Jet carried a DC-17 hand blaster (same gun that Rex uses from Clone Wars) in its holster attached to his upper right thigh. "Captain?" he asked again gazing in Mikal direction, only to find Mikal gone.

"What's with the Captain?" Adara questioned. The 20 year-old Amaran was 6 feet (183cm) tall, had red fur with white accents and black eyes. She wore a dark green tank-top with a black vest and baggy black pants. Adara was wore a black belt with a pocket hole to carry a chain whip.

"Lothal is where the Captain was born." Answered Ríona. The Zabrak was 5 feet (152cm) tall with black hair reaching her back tied into a ponytail and had purple eyes. The 18 year-old wore a short red dress were the middle from waist down is separated. She wore a black skirt underneath and black knee high boots with a belt. Ríona has a spear attached on her back over her left shoulder and has a handheld blaster attached to her belt.

"I didn't know that." Adara spoke in a soft voice. She let out a small gasp as hand gently touched her shoulder. Adara turned and looked at who touched her. "V?"

"You must be patience with Mikal. He will tell us everything when he's already." The 16 year-old human signed; due to the fact he had gotten shot in the throat by a Stormtrooper that had left him permanently mute. He had only been known as Viper but was called V by his crew. He wore black baggy pants with black Stormtrooper boots. While his upper body was completely covered in a black body suit with a dark red 'V' mark on the right shoulder. V wore a dark grey visor to cover his eyes (basically his outfit is the same as Snake Eyes from GI Joe: Renegades). He was also carrying two dueling swords on his back, with one blade over each shoulder. "I sense that he feels a great deal of guilt weighing on his mind."

"Right." Muttered Adara. "I understand V."

"We must prepare ourselves for the trip to Lothal." Jet said in a serious tone. "I will set the nav-computer and get us into hyperspace. Is the engine ready Lily?"

"Yep, I fixed her up while we were in hyperspace earlier. She's ready go." Lily answered.

"Good. Alright everyone we head to Lothal now, prepare yourselves." Jet finished as he headed back into the cockpit. "And do not worry Adara, the Captain will be alright." He casted a quick glance at Adara before he entered the cockpit.

With Mikal

Mikal was lying down on his bed in the male sleeping quarters. In his hand was a simple metal box. He sat up slowly and opened the box, inside was stuffed loth-cat toy and a music box. He then grabbed the music box and opened it. A soft lullaby could be heard throughout the sleeping quarters, as Mikal started to hum along with song.

He was a 29 year-old male human with blue hair and blue eyes. Mikal stood at 6 feet 6 inches (200cm) tall with a medium built. He wore Stormtrooper armour with a Russian desert camo paint job and no helmet. Mikal's electrostaff laid next to bed against the wall.

Mikal gently placed the music box as it still was playing back in the metal box and picked up the loth-cat toy instead. He looked at it with sad eyes and let out a soft sigh. Mikal gently placed the loth-cat back in the box and stopped the music box. Mikal closed the box slowly and put it back under his bed. He grabbed his staff as he started heading to the cockpit. Mikal paused just as he was about to leave, and looked back at his bed where the box was placed. "I'm sorry kiddo." He spoke in sadden tone as he closed the door and headed to the cockpit to assist Jet.
