~Prologue~
(Arise A Knight)
A long time ago…
In a Galaxy far, far, far away…
A Prophesized child from the twin suns is born. With a small speck of hope an enslaved people hold onto their way of life as war threatens to take their once peaceful worlds into chaos and with it, the Galaxy. A ancient order called the Order of the Exiled Ones who were cursed by the Force, four thousand years ago; have been building a fleet to defeat the last of the Sith Lords in hope of stopping the prophase from becoming a reality and bringing peace back too their worlds.
But darkness has already taken hold and their time is running out. Only with the last child of the Ordo line, do they stand a chance from the dark shadow that wishes to consume them. Meanwhile out past the reach of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order. On the barren planet of Tatooine, a dark shadow creeps closer to the heir of the Exiles and Ordo.
The child's only hope lies with an old Queen of the past.
Star System: Tatoo. Planet: Tatooine. Location: Mos Eisley.
On the plant of Tatooine the twin suns had yet to rise from the northern skies, as a feminine silhouette stood up on top of a ridge over looking the city of Mos Eisley. The soft winds from the south ruffled her dark brown cloak as her crystal blue eyes looked at the city through a pair of long range binoculars.
The sound of Banthas moving out into the open plains caught the young woman's attention as a dark figure started out towards Mos Espe on a speeder. Looking back the female cursed in Huttese before jumping down from her spot and running to her speeder bike that was nearby hidden by some rocks.
Without thinking twice the woman gun the engines as she raced after the dark figure whose speeder was disappearing quickly out of view. At the sudden speeds her cloak's hood fell back to reveling a human woman about thirty-five with light blonde hair and a determined look on her face. She pushed the speeder bike into full throttle gaining more speed as she passed through some ridges.
It felt like days instead of hours as she came closer to the edge of Mos Espe, the darkening presence entered the back of her mind. 'He's here, but where?' the young woman asked mentally as she zoomed through a cave before ending up near to the city.
Thankfully the suns had not risen yet as the woman stopped and parked the speeder bike in an alley before following the dark presence onward. She came up through the alleyway and stopped at the mouth for a moment as the dark figure's speeder reappeared zooming off towards the townhouse of Gardulla the Hutt. That was over on the other side of the street. Not wanting to lose anytime the young woman followed after him without even thinking twice.
Location: Mos Espe.
The city of Mos Espe was quiet except for the drunks at the local Cantinas and the few people who were getting their shops ready for the morning. Pulling her hood up along with her veil the woman continued to walk at a fast pass down the street. After dodging through an alleyway and up onto a tall building nearby a Townhouse. The woman spotted the dark figure entering through the front gate of the Townhouse below her.
The guards stopped him and asked for him to get out of his speeder, the woman hid behind a mud wall and waited for the crackly hiss of a lightsaber igniting. But it never came, the traced like guards aloud the dark figure to enter without even checking him over for weapons. Frowning the woman leapt over the walls of the townhouse and into the courtyard below landing gracefully on all four. Slipping into the tunnel that leaded into the townhouse, the woman quickly followed the dark figure
The silence seemed to make her skin crawl as she kept to the dark shadows of the mud brick walls, then as she came up to a crossway in the corridor. She hear the unmistakable snap hiss of a lightsaber being activated, throwing all haste out the window the woman dashed towards the large entranceway at the end of the hallway as fast as she could. Then as if her day could be any worse she heard screams coming from the room and a horrible sound of something or someone gagging. Twelve slaves came running out of the room all scared out of their wits; they stopped in front of her and huddled together. Scared she was with the mad lunatic in the Audience Chamber.
"Please stay calm and wait in the main hallway. I'll be right back to take the transmitters out," all of the slaves just nodded at her commanding tone as they walked passed her with a shocked look on their faces.
Turning her attention back onto the Audience Chamber the woman dashed in with her own lightsaber in hand. Bodies of guards and slaves litter the floor as she looked down at them. Looking up the woman nearly gagged at the sight the greeted her, what was left of Gardulla the Hutt's remains were scattered all over the Hutt's throne. Staring over at a stairway behind the jukebox, the woman stepped over the dead remains of a fallen guard and rushed up the stairs towards the slaves' quarters.
Hurrying up her pace the woman heard more screams as she ran passed the remains of a Gamorrean guard, bursting into the slaves' quarters the woman ignited her lightsaber as the dark figure turned towards her. Their lightsaber's clashed against each other as sparks ignited from the lightsabers as they dueled. The yellow blade of the woman's slashed off apart of the dark figure's cloak as he ducked from her attacks, before coming back with his own.
Each minute they fought the slaves watched with an intense gaze as the hoped for the yellow blade to hit it's mark before the red blade did, thankfully the woman was using the dark figure's strength to her advantage as he started to tire out she turned her attacks with such force that she backed him into a wall.
"You should have left them alone, now you meet your end!" The woman snapped angrily as she cut his lightsaber in two, before drawing her blade upward and into his chest.
"Perhaps so…Sindarin…but I will die knowing…..that I at least took your heir…from you!" coughed the dark figure before the life left his body. Standing over him the woman frowned as she turned off her lightsaber and turned to the living slaves.
"Go and wait in the main hallways and I be down there in a few minute to free you, now go!" she order as all of the what was left alive rushed out of the room, leaving her alone with a young woman who was fighting to breath. Walking over to the young woman she hooked her lightsaber back onto her belt before kneeling next to the dying woman.
"Are you Shmi Skywalker?" the young woman asked with a deep sadness as the dying woman nodded. "I am Camilla Nightshade, you are one of my family members. I came to free you, but I am to late." she added somberly.
"Maybe for me...but not for my son Anakin. You are a Jedi are you not?" Cam shook her head negatively as she listened to Shmi, who fought to live a few more minutes. "Take my son Anakin with you, please!"
"Do you wish me to take him to his father?" Shmi looked at her before taking her hand.
"There was no father! I cared him and gave birth, I can't explain it. Please don't leave him to my fate. He deserves better then a slave's life." Cam could only nod as she watched the last bits of life leave Shmi's body.
Closing Shmi's eyes, Cam looked over the corner of the bunk that was concealed by a part of the mud wall was a blanket with a little baby in it. His head was covered in light blonde hair as his blue eyes open Anakin whimpered. Cam carefully picked him up from his hiding spot. Wrapped around his blanket was an odd looking necklace that Cam did not notice until she lifted hood back up over her head.
Standing up from the ruined room, Cam cared Anakin out and down the stairs as a ray of light entered the room. Walking back through the Audience Chamber Cam shielded Anakin's eyes from the horrors of the room as she walked back towards the main hallway. Waiting there like they all had been told too, where want was left of Gardulla the Hutt's slaves. The Twi'lek dancing girls looked up as Cam entered the hallway holding Anakin.
"Where's Shmi?" A yellow Twi'lek with brown spots asked bravely as she stood up from her sit on a grate.
"I could not save her, she has past beyond the veil of life and into the Force." The yellow Twi'lek's eyes widened before tears started to show. "Anakin is fine though, just a little scared." Cam added as the yellow Twi'lek walked over to Cam and looked down into the blankets at Anakin "Would you watch over him until I have gotten all of the transmitters out of everyone?"
"Of course," the Twi'lek answered as she picked Anakin up and cradle him in her arms. Cam turned her attention back to the other slaves, who were all watching them.
"Does anyone known were Gardulla keeps your transmitter's controllers?" Cam asked calmly.
A sickly looking male Togruta stood up from the small group, he was standing near one of the other Twi'lek dancers. His lekku were bruised and scarred as he walked up toward Cam, oddly she felt no fear from him as he came closer.
"I will show you, if you'll follow me this way?" His voice was calm and staid as he waited, his clothes were tattered and worn out as his white and reddish complication was covered with a thick cover of dirt and grim.
Turning back to the yellow Twi'lek that was still holding onto Anakin, Cam pulled out her other comlink. "What is your name?" Cam asked as the yellow Twi'lek looked up at her.
"Anaya, ma'am." answered the yellow Twi'lek as Cam was handed the comlink to her.
"Anaya is a very beautiful name. If you have any problems or one of Jabba's men come. Use it, my frequency is already set on it all you have to do is push the button." Anaya nodded as Cam turned towards the Togruta. "Lead the way good sir."
The Togruta nodded before walked passed all of the other slaves towards a smaller hallway that was off to the side. Cam followed behind him as the dark halls were eerily quiet as they passed through them, looking at his back Cam noticed that it was bleeding.
Grimacing at the though of the beating he must have endured, Cam turned to him.
"Once I have the transmitters turned off, I will look at your wounds." The Togruta turned his head as Cam finished speaking.
"That wouldn't be necessary Mistress Jedi, they'll stop bleeding in a few minutes," Cam watched as he turned his head away in shame.
"What is your name?"
"I do not remember my real name, but everyone here calls me Ace." the Togruta turned back to look at Cam as she walked side by side with him. "If I may, what is your name?"
"It's Cam, I don't mean to be meddlesome but how did you end up here?" Ace looked at her oddly before he tilted his head to one side.
"I was abduct from my tribe when I was little by spice pirates heading to Tatooine," Ace stopped in front of a door, "Thankfully I've never seen one of my own people on this force for sake planet. This is where Gardulla's majordomo keeps our controllers. Unfortunately I can not go in with you, but the majordomo has them behind the big picture in a safe."
"Ace, how do you know all of this if don't mind my asking?" Ace smiled as his eye lit up with a spark that seemed long forgotten.
"I'm not that good of a slave and was brought in here once for punishment. I saw where they kept our controllers, but there's a bar over the doorway that will active the transmitter in me if I cross it without the majordomo clearing it through first," Ace look at Cam as he explained, the spark in his eyes was shining brightly in hope of freedom.
Cam opened the door and left it open as she walked in, the room was like the rest of the townhouse dank and eerie as she walked in, whips and other items for torture where hanging on the wall behind the desk along with a huge picture of the slime slug that was in pieces on it's throne. Walking behind the desk Cam used the Force to rip the picture off the wall and throw it across the room, it shattered against the wall as Ace watched from the doorway in awe. Cam was glaring at the finger print scanner on safe. When Ace started cursing in Huttese before turning back towards where Cam was.
"I am sorry, I forgot they had that on there." Ace said sadly as he hung his head, Cam looked at him and smiled sweetly.
"That is no problem Ace, don't worry. Also I'm not a Jedi, I'm an Sindarin there's a huge deference." Cam stepped closer to the safe and closed her eyes, letting the Force center in her. She raised her right hand a waved it slowly over the safe as the figure print scanner beeped before the safe door opened. Glancing inside the safe, Cam used the Force and pulled out all of the transmitter controllers' and made them float in the air before pulling out a couple of datapads.
Glancing over them quickly, Cam pulled out a little sack from under her robes and opened it. One by one each of the controllers went into the sack, dropping the datapads in as well. Cam turned from the open safe and walked around the desk back out the way she came.
"Well I think that's it, come on Ace. Let's get back to the others before someone shows up looking for Gardulla." Cam walked out as Ace followed her leaving the door still open and the safe empty.
Thankfully the Force was on Cam's side as she and Ace entered the hallway to finding nothing had changed since they had left. Anaya looked up as she was make funny faces at Anakin and smiled. "Ma'am did you and Ace find the controllers?"
"Yes Anaya, we did and they've been deactivated." Cam nodded as a human girl spoke.
"Excuse me, ma'am but what will happen to us now?" The young girl asked quietly, Cam looked around at everyone else and noticed they all were looking at her.
"You're free, you may go wherever you please." Cam answered and everyone started to cheer out into the quiet hallways.
Thank you!
