Thanks so much for all the follows guys! I didn't expect my first chapter to really catch anyone's attention because it was basically just establishing my OC character. I plan on this to be an ongoing story so there's definitely going to be more chapters to come. Feel free to review! I would love to get your feedback on what you think about the story. Now on to next!
Evia was still uneasy with all the activity going on around Tosche Station which made her stay very close to Braith. There was a chime of bells as the pair walked into the junk shop owned by Du'Lon, however there was already someone at the check out counter. Two stormtroopers stood in front of the old Twi'lek, Du'Lon appeared frustrated.
|| "Listen, I have already told you I have a shop to run. So whatever is going on in the center of town I have better things to do." Dul'Lon had a heavy accent considering basic was his second language. He waived his hand nonchalantly towards the stormtroopers trying to urge them to leave the store. ||
However the troopers were not happy with the shop owners response they pulled up their blasters and pointed them right at Du'Lon, who immediately put up his hands with a frightened expression. Braith sprung forward pulling away from Evia who was clinging to him. She swallowed hard hoping that he didn't just make a mistake. Braith stepped between the troopers and Du'Lon.
|| "Excuse me is there some sort of problem here? My friend here is not very good at speaking basic, perhaps I can help so he understands what you're trying to tell him." Braith gave the two troopers a friendly smile. Evia wondered what sort of look they were giving him at this point,
no one would know with the darn buckets on their heads.||
The stormtroopers obviously weren't going to fall for the feigned smile on Braith's face and pointed the blasters at him. The elderly man then put his hands up much in the same fashion as Du'Lon had, Evia's felt like her heart was going to beat out of her chest as she watched the exchange.
|| "He understood us just fine, because we told him he needs to go to the center of town just like he said and you should do the same if you don't want to end up with a blast hole through your chest." Braith nodded in understanding realizing his attempt to distract them did not work. ||
Braith backed away from the two troopers, then looked desperately over to Evia. He knew he couldn't do as they asked for her sake. Braith had learned long ago the reason why Evia was an orphan and why she had ended up in the hands of the jawa's. He'd heard stories for many years, about the Empire taking children from their parents something that carried over when the First Order came into power. Evia stood in fear she knew that if she and Braith did as they were ordered something terrible might happen. Looking over at the man she cared for like a father she nodded her head, hoping he would understand what she was about to do. Perhaps if she got the blasters away from them she and Braith could run and get away. However it could all go terribly wrong and they would definitely be killed. She had to make a choice. Braith gave a heavy sigh then nodded back to her, Evia took this as a sign of his approval. She put her hand out in front of her, concentrating very hard on the blasters in the stormtroopers hands. Using a swiping motion in the air in front of her, the two troopers watched in shock as their blasters flew out of their hands and went flying across the shop. The blasters hit the wall with loud clatter, Braith, Evia and Du'Lon took that moment to run. The elderly man and the young woman burst through the front door of the shop, out into the street however the scene outside wasn't much better. People were running and screaming, blaster fire going off everywhere. Troopers all over the place shooting and chasing after innocent villagers. Braith grabbed Evia's hand and made a dash for the speeder.
Inside the store the stormtroopers were still in a bit of shock as to what had just happened.
|| "Do you think that was them!" said one of the troopers. "Even if they aren't we can't take the chance!" said the other who was obviously a higher rank. Pulling out his com he pressed it "Commander! We just came across an old man and a girl in one of the shops we think it might be Skywalker and the apprentice! She used the force to disarm us and fled the store!" ||
Evia and Braith managed to get into the speeder without getting shot in the head by blasters. Braith struggled for a moment to get the machine started but the pair breathed a sigh of relief as the engine hummed to life. He quickly pushed the accelerator forward and the speeder advanced forwards as quickly as they could make it go.
|| "We have to go faster Braith! Those two troopers are surely gonna tell someone what happened!" Evia yelled as they zipped by more troopers devastating the city with flamethrowers. "I know, I know! But whats going to stop them from following us!" Braith screamed back. ||
It was then a group of three jumpspeeders pulled in front of themBraith abruptly put on the brakes. The troopers on the bikes aimed their blasters at them leaving Evia and Braith with only one choice. The pair put their hands up hoping that the wouldn't be shot on sight.
|| "You two! Out of the speeder! And don't even think about doing any force funny business!" ||
Braith and Evia were led at blaster point to a First Order command shuttle that was docked not too far away from the gates of Tosche Station. Tears rolled down Evia's cheeks, she had got them into this mess if she had just stayed out of it perhaps they wouldn't be in the situation they were. Just before they were going to step up the loading plank Evia stopped.
|| "Please... just let him go, he doesn't have anything to do with this." she said to one of the troopers following closely behind them. She heard a scoff, "You think we're stupid enough to let a Jedi master get away? Keep moving Resistance scum!" the trooper nudged her forward in the back with his blaster. ||
Once in the ship Braith and Evia were separated into different holding cells, the trooper that had been dispatched to guard Evia gave her hard shove and she tripped into the cell as the door hissed shut behind her. She fell and smacked right into the cold solid metal cot that was reserved for prisoners to sleep on hitting her head. It threw her off balance and she could feel blood start to trickle down from the point where the metal had impacted with her temple. Still she wobbled to her feet and began to pound on the door.
|| WE'RE NOT JEDI! PLEASE JUST LET HIM GO! HE'S NO MASTER!" her cries fell on deaf ears and before long she began to lose contentiousness from the injury she had sustained. ||
While Evia was knocked out the shuttle made it's way to dock with a Resurgent-class Star Destroyer. There was a clank of black boots as he walked through the corridors to meet the ship. A masked Kylo Ren was greeted by an officer on his way to the docking bay.
|| "Sir, we're not sure if these are the pair you've been searching for but we did find them on Tatooine and a pair of troopers confirmed that they were disarmed by the girl. As for the old man we've yet to see any force abilities from him." Kylo Ren stopped and turned to the officer. "That's because their not who you thought they were. I would have known it was them as soon as the shuttle docked. However this girl is curious to me and I wish to see for myself if she is a force sensitive." the officer swallowed nervously and Kylo Ren swiftly moved past him. ||
It had been a tireless struggle to get the First Order back on track since the destruction of Starkiller base. Hux had been adamant about fast tracking the construction of another base on Tatooine. It certainly was a desperate move, at least that's what Kylo Ren thought about it all. The fact that the planet had two suns made it a prime candidate for another base however after the fall of the Hutt cartel it was a planet with practically no government. When the First Order picked up where the Empire left off they immediately started scouting out planets that would fit their needs. However because of bureaucratic red tape, the order had to go about it the hard way by buying out most of the planet. The planets rich moisture farming community was a good cover to start buying out land. Most believed that the order was doing this as a means to make money to support their armies, but the underlying reasons were to begin construction within the planet. Unfortunately it had been delayed several times, now it was once again in full force and Hux was optimistic about the power of the new Starkiller. However all of this wasn't anything that Kylo Ren was really concerned with. He had no ambitions of taking over the galaxy he just wanted to continue the legacy of his grandfather. He wanted Supreme Leader Snoke to continue his training, which had started. However when word that the girl and Luke Skywalker coming into contact reached Snoke he immediately turned his attention back to finding Skywalker and stopping the possible apprentice. Just the thought of that girl made Kylo's blood boil the pain from the scar that he now wore across his visage was a blazing reminder of his failure to control his emotions and concentrate on the darkness. He had thought that killing Han Solo would have sealed his transition to the darkness, but now he had found himself becoming troubled every time he thought about it. He tried to shake the thoughts from his mind and move on, right now he had to concentrate on this young woman the officer had just been speaking of. Marching forward he soon stepped in front of the shuttle as the gang plank began to lower.
|| "Hey! Get up you!" Evia felt someone tug on her arm and she slowly opened her eyes. Her head was killing her, but she could tell that the bleeding from the cut on her head had stopped. ||
Her vision was still fuzzy but she managed to cling to the troopers arm as he practically dragged her along through he shuttle.
|| "Evia! Oh dear you're hurt what did they do to you!" she heard a familiar voice and looked up to see Braith being led along much in the same fashion as herself. The trooper had a hold of him jerked him forward. "Enough you!" said the trooper. "Don't hurt him please" Evia blurted out only to receive her own punishment from the trooper guarding her. He took the butt of his blaster and slammed it in the middle of her back. ||
Kylo Ren watched as the two accused 'jedi' were brought out of the shuttle. The old man was no Luke Skywalker and from what he could tell he wasn't even force sensitive, however he did have a connection to the girl. He watched the exchange between the pair, and for some reason when the trooper hit the girl with his rifle it made him some what angry. He thought to use the force for a moment and choke the trooper.
|| ~"Why did that bother me?"~ || he thought to himself. Pushing the fleeting emotion to the back of his mind he stepped forward.
Evia hit the ground with a thud after being hit in the back. Landing hard on her knees she barely had the energy to pull herself up. Kneeling on the metal floor of the docking bay she hung her head, she then heard the sounds of boots coming towards her. She still sat there staring at the large feet till she felt someone kneel down in front of her, after that there was a black gloved hand that tucked two fingers just under her chin lifting it up gently. This action surprised her somewhat, it was like someone was taking care not to harm her. However when her eyes met the cold emotionless mask of the person in front of her it sent chills down her spine. All she wanted to do was run but it felt as though she was frozen in place.
|| "Well... you're not who I was expecting, however you are... interesting." the mechanical voice said. ||
