The Galaxy's End
Chapter 1 Reunion part 1
Blasters Path Cantina
Rishi
"You ever have one of those nights when you just want to have fun ?" A sultry voice broke into the female Cathars train of thought. Looking up, pearlblue eyes spotted lumicent red contrasting with the lumicent blue skin of the Chiss woman, Ammision, the Cathar remembered, the Chiss was named Ammison, her friend.
Ammision raised a toast to her friend, the Cathar drank it, the two of them sat in the Blasters Path cantina, in a secluded corner of the massive building, the cathar woman raised her glass and drank down the contents, it wasnt her prefered drink, a Boga Noga could land a squad of Sith Troopers flat on their backs "To memories" Ammision said
The Cathar smiled, "To memories" She replied, their glasses clinked, already seeing around the table four others with them, her cousin, Odianark Oduress, best friend Ammision Zhao, Aramus, Wisty, they were all there, around the table, only, a few years before.
"You miss it, dont you ?" Ammi said after they downed their shots, the Cathart had to stare, did she miss those drinking binges after successful missions with her cousin, Aramaus Ironhammer and Wistrumia Queens with Ammi ? A random Cantina on whatever planet they landed on to finish the mission ? Of course they always had finished the mission on a friday, and ended up with killer hangovers on monday.
"Snowy ?" Ammision shook the Cathar out of her memory trip, "Snowbund snap out of it girl. Whats eating you ?"
"Memories" Snowbund replied, she downed her second shot, "Lets do it, I never did find my perfect Boga Noga, you know that, What they got here at Blasters Path, it does the job so far, but nothing like that rumored heavenly drink from Galaxy's End! We can do it this time, the whole gang!"
"Seriously ? The whole gang ? Even Odi ?" Ammision said
"Of course, Odi, Ara, Wisty, you name it we can get them aboard! Look, when was the last time we saw any of them ?"
"Not since the accident" Ammi said, in fact since the accident that left Snowbund with scars on her face and Ziost void of any forms of life, not even a single blade of grass for that matter!
"Exactly, and that was what a year or so ago depending on planet ?" Snowbund replied, it was true, depending on the planet it'd been anywhere from five years to a week since they last saw each other
The gears turned in Ammisions head and the Chiss nodded, already liking the idea"Alright, how are we gonna convince him to come with us then ? And what about the others ?"
"I'll talk to Odi, you talk to them, we meet up... hello..." Snowbunds holo comm went off, it was Odi, ispeak of the devil/i Snowbund thought as she activated it. "Odi is that you ?"
"I was hoping I could catch you before you left Tython, it seems I was too late, I heard of what happened on Ziost and what happened on Coruscant shortly afterwards. A shame to be sure" Odi said over the holo. Snowbund set her lips in a grim line as Odi spoke, he could see he hit a nerve "my apologises dear cousin. You must not blame yourself for what happened on Ziost or Corusccant, the Sith Emperor was dead, but he returned as Scourge had forseen. You must not blame yourself for what happened, it was not your fault."
"I could have prevented it, you know that above all else." Snowbund softly replied
"Even your brother ?" Odi asked, Snowbund turned away, it was a pain to talk about, the loss of life on Ziost broke her heart and since then she had only found solace in a glass of huttese hangover or similar drinks in cantinas across the galaxy, not even Carti or her sisters could snap her out of it.
"Alright look, that's not why I am calling you Snow, this I think is up your alley in fact. Meet me on Coruscant at Silent Suns Cantina, we got a guy here with an offer you must hear to believe." the holo went dead, Snowbund put it away.
Ammi smirked "You think you can convince him to stay sober ?" the Chiss asked her friend, Ammision loved to dance, and that was why the Chiss woman was dressed in a luxuary dancers outfit. Something that only Snowbund was never going to be caught dead in if she could help it
"I can convince otherwise, its a sense of closure for sure, Odi's right, I need to stop blaming myself for what happened at Ziost, and at Coruscant, contact the others, I'll meet you at Silent Suns with Odi when you pick them up" Snowbund said standing up and collecting her robe and putting it on she drew up the hood, it was time to find out just what her cousin was after.
"Alright, well, if they ask me whose ship we are taking, what do I say ?" Ammision asked as the two left the cantina and headed for their respective vessels
"Were meeting everyone at Slient Suns cantina, we'll worry on whose ship to take when we come to it" Snowbund replied calmly as the two parted ways and headed in two different directions. Snowbund to Coruscant to see her cousin first, and Ammision to Tatooine to try and find the first of their group, Wisty was predictable.
Ammision had to wonder as she lifted off from Rishi just what was really going through her friends head after the loss of life on Ziost. Though she was present when the reborn Sith Emperor sucked even the green grass out of the planet, it was a literal dead ball of nothing more but dust
A few moments later, aboard Snowbunds starship, the Defender
Snowbund stepped up the ramp to her ship, Her protocol droid, C2-N2, whom she referred to as C2. "Every time I see you return from a mission Master I thank the maker I was not made for combat."
Snowbund had to smile, she could tell C2 was in one of his better moods, then she remembered internally, when was he not ? "How are things aboard ship C2 ?" As far as Snowbund was aware, she was on Rishi, longer then planned originally.
"Everything is working smoothly Master, the new theatre system is in place and connected correctly with the holo tank in the gathering section. All updates to the galaxy map are also being downloaded and installed as we speak" Snowbund smiled, it was about time the sound system got replaced, recently it was too loud for her sensitive ears to deal with, hence why she had most of its volum settings personally set to her exact desires, something C2 took great pride in providing her with te exact control she required when she needed it.
Snowbund nodded, "Good, how soon can we be made ready to host five others with us ?" She asked
"It all depends soley on who you plan to bring along and host aboard Master" C2 replied
"My cousin, you remember Master Oduress ?" Snowbund said C2 nodded, yes, he remmebered serving fine drinks to the nice Jedi Master, who had revealed himself as Snowbunds cousin, though Snowbund, a young adult woman at the time was too focused on the loss of Master Orgus Din at the time to worry of family bond, it was not until after... the accident on Courscant that left her with scars on her face and neck that resulted in her cousin nolonger drinking. "Masters Zhao, Ironhammer, and Queensleig, and hopefully Master Golda as well, if Ammision can reach her."
"Ah, a fine gathering if I say so myself Master, I shall see to it personally that the ship is made ready for their arrival, may I ask where we are currently headed ?" C2 said as Snowbund set her lightsabers in her room and locked the shelf so they wouldn't fall or come apart then she headed to the bridge.
"Coruscant, Odi has something for me, he wants to meet me first, Ammision is seeing to the others and will meet us at Coruscant." Snowbund replied, it was a moment or two before the ship had the details they needed to plot a safe course through hyperspace and they were off
But Snowbund had to wonder, what did her cousin want her for ?
And why Silent Sun Cantina ? The Heart of Black Sun ?
