Star Wars Red like Roses
Chapter 2: Jedi, Inquisitors, and Apprentice.
"Talking"
'Thinking'
Me own nothing Star Wars and RWBY are owned by every one that has rights to it.
Ruby trekked through the dark hallways of the landing bay. She had to focus on the upcoming mission, carefully imagining various plans and scenarios to aid her in her mission. Then, she felt it, A disturbance in the Force. There was danger nearby.
Acting quickly, she turned and ignited her crimson crossgaurd lightsaber just in time to block a sapphire blade from cutting her down.
It was Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Acting quickly Obi-Wan delivered quick horizontal slashes with her lightsaber, unfortunately Ruby was just as fast and anticipated every strike.
Effortlessly deflecting each strike, she called upon the Force and pushed Obi-Wan backwards and onto her back. Without missing a beat, Ruby jumped forward and brought her lightsaber down and pierced Obi-Wan's chest.
At their point in time, a brilliant white flash engulfed the Jedi, and in her place was droid.
"Ah! Mistress! Another excellent duel!" Complimented the droid, Ruby laughed.
"Hey PENNY." Her voice contained a hint of mirth. "You caught me by surprise. I haven't fought that training program in years; I thought you'd erased it."
The droid sighed.
"I had hoped that by using an older training module I would catch you off guard and allow me to finally kill you." The droid said, as if that were the most normal thing in the galaxy. "I'm sorry I failed you again." Apologized the droid.
"I'm sure you'll keep trying." Said Ruby. "Just do me a favor and don't-" She stopped midsentence. As she turned the corner and finally saw her ship, the Rogue Shadow, she also saw a young woman working on it.
Grabbing PENNY by the shoulders he dragged her behind another ship.
"PENNY. PENNY!" She whispered urgently.
"Hm? Why are we whispering?" Questioned the droid.
Ruby gestured to the woman.
"Who is she?" She questioned. Peeking around the corner, PENNY got a good look at the object of her Mistress's curiosity.
"Ah, yes! Your new pilot has finally arrived, Mistress. ACCESSING IMPERIAL RECORDS." PENNY's body cast a hologram around itself, morphing into the young woman.
She was very beautiful. She stood at about five-foot-nine and had a curvy physique. The conservative Captains uniform did nothing to hold back her expansive breasts, which had to have been D cups at the least. Her wide hips drew attention to her large buttocks and thighs. Despite the curviness of her body, one could still see the impressive fitness that she maintained. Her stomach and arms were very toned, and no doubt very strong. Ruby was certain that she had experience in hand-to-hand combat. Physically, she was the perfect marriage of fitness, strength and femininity.
Looking up at her face, she had fair skin, like her, and a round adorable face. Atop her head were thick wavy locks of blood red hair. Her eyes were a sharp green.
PENNY continued with her hologram and spoke in the young woman's voice, explaining her history to Ruby.
"Captain Pyrrha Nikos. Age sixteen." She spoke in a Coruscanti accent. "Born on Coruscant, and became the youngest student ever to be accepted into the Imperial Academy. Decorated combat pilot with over one hundred combat missions, and commanding officer during the bombing of Callos. Handpicked by Lord Vader to lead her Black Squadron, but later reassigned to a top secret mission." PENNY finished.
Before either of them could say anything, Pyrrha's voice rang out from behind their hiding place.
"Is there a psychological profile in there too?" She questioned, unamused.
PENNY released the hologram.
"Actually yes, but it's restriced." she answered. PENNY looked between her Mistress and Pyrrha. She stared at her defiantly, and Ruby stood there without a care. Leaning forward and using her robotic hand covered her faces she spoke to her Mistress.
"Oh Mistress, I can tell you she's going to be impossible to reprogram." Silence reigned for a few moments before Ruby spoke up.
"Do you know why you're-" Her cold voice was interrupted by Pyrrha's.
"Yes. My orders are clear. I'm to keep your ship running and take you wherever it is that you need to go."
"Did Vader tell you that he killed our last pilot?"
"No." She turned and led them both to the ship. "But I can only assume that he gave Lord Vader a reason to do so. I will not." She answered simply.
"I hope so, I'm sick of training new pilots." Ruby said she looked up at her ship, looking over her work. "What have you done to my ship?"
Stopping behind the pair, she watched Ruby and PENNY look over her work.
"I've, uh, taken the liberty of updating the Rogue Shadow's sensor array. Now, you will be able to spy on any suspect ships in the entire system." She reported. "You are one of Vader's spies?" She asked.
Ruby halted her ascension into the ship and turned to look at her.
"You don't need to know anything about my missions except where I'm going." She said authoritatively. "Now, I need a jump to Nar Shadda, can you handle that?" She demanded. Pyrrha started to climb the ramp into the ship.
"Of course." She responded arrogantly, passing her by on the ramp. Ruby rolled her eyes, as she walked up the ramp.
Over Nar Shadda
Floating above Nar Shadda, the Rogue Shadow remained in stealth mode to avoid detection for the time being.
Aboard the ship was Ruby, Pyrrha and PENNY. Ruby was preparing for her encounter with the Jedi Master. Turning in her seat, Ruby addressed PENNY.
"PENNY, give me the target." The droid stood obediently and quickly turned into Rahm Kota.
"According to Imperial Records, Master Rahm Kota was a respected General in the Clone Wars." Spoke PENNY in the general's voice.
"You're hunting Jedi." Stated Pyrrha. There was surprise in her voice.
Ruby turned to face her for a moment, before turning back to PENNY. Her voice rang out with authority.
"I bring Darth Vader's enemies to justice." She said simply and turned towards her again. "Now, so do you." PENNY continued her report.
"Master Kota was a military genius, but he felt that clone soldiers were unfit for battle, instead he relied on her own militia."
"So, there were no clones in his squad when Order 66 was issued." Realized Pyrrha.
"And after Order 66 he vanished. Official Imperial records actually claim he's dead." PENNY finished her report and shut down her hologram. Pyrrha addressed Ruby.
"Why come out of hiding and attack the Empire now?"
Ruby simply turned in her chair and focused on the computer before her.
"He wants to be found."
"Then we're walking into a trap." She realized. "How many pilots have you lost before me?"
"Seven." Stated Ruby without batting an eye. Pyrrha's mouth fell open in shock.
"Excellent." She said.
"I'm taking an escape pod down to the Command Center. When I turn on my tracker, only then will you come for me." Ruby said.
"How long will that be?" Asked Pyrrha.
"If I don't turn it on in an hour, assume I'm dead and return to base." Ruby ordered. Pyrrha nodded and watched her head down to the lower levels. Moments later her screen flashed, indicating that an escape pod was launched.
On The Station
A jade green lightsaber cut through the last Imperial Stormtrooper in the building. Deactivating his lightsaber, Jedi Master Rahm Kota began barking orders.
"Lock down the command center and get the hologram projector up and running." There was a 'yes sir' that came from someone in the squad, Kota only nodded in acknowledgment. "Tell all squads to fan out and funnel any remaining opposition towards us. Place explosive charges on levels 2, 5 and 12, just like we planned."
"General Kota!" One of his men called to him urgently. He was looking at a hologram of a rapidly descending escape pod. Whoever it was, was no doubt trying to slip by their defenses. "He's here." Said the soldier.
"I've finally drawn you out of hiding." He said, mostly to himself. "Lower the containment field on hangar 12 and tell the men to get into position."
On A different part of the Station
A black haired girl clad in a sleeveless jacket, long gloves, stiletto heel boots, a black glass mask, and several straps with containers of powdered dust lined across her pants. complimented by her black bow. The girl sat on a storage box, watching dogfight in space outside the station.
"Blake," a red haired man clad in all black with a white mask and red hair called as he approached her. "It's time..."
Blake turned her head toward him, allowing him to see her amber eyes. "Okay," she replied, hesitantly.
On A different part of the Station
Ruby walked through the hallway heading to the command center. Using the force, she opened every door that she came across. Until finally stepping onto the balcony of the command center, the aged general stood on the ground level spun around igniting his emerald lightsaber, a glare gave way to look of confusion as he stared up at ruby.
"heh." A dry chuckle escaped Kota's mouth. "A girl? Months of attacking imperial targets and Vader sends a girl to fight me?"
"You're a fool to think you could fight my master, he is far more powerful than you, old man." Ruby said as she jumped down from the balcony igniting her blood red cross-saber in the processes.
"That is yet to be seen." Kota said as he darted at Ruby with a two handed horizontal slash downward on her witch she simply lifted her lightsaber to block it, and in that second of the block with her free right had she forced pushed him of her into a control. Kota looked up and saw Ruby's eyes covered by her bangs and a sadistic grin on her face as he blinked and she was gone with rose petals where she was.
"You'll never find that out because this control center will be your tomb!" Kota heard Ruby said from behind him as she brought down her cross-guard lightsaber down intending to cut the old general down the middle. Kota brought up his lightsaber and guarded the incoming blow, he was surprised by the weight of the blow carried.
"I'm surprised girl, your attacks have some weight to them." Kota complimented the young apprentice as he deflected the blow and rolled away from Ruby.
"I'm surprised you blocked that but I guess you are a Jedi Master after all." Ruby said with heavy sarcasm at the rank Kota held.
On A, different part of the Station
Blake and the man Both of them vaulted off the railing as a formation of tie fighters passed by. As they landed, they both jumped of the tie fighters landing to the other side of the chasm. The man took out his lightsaber and cut the door down.
The man sheathed his saber as the blast door fell open for them to enter. The hallway was filled with surprised Kota's men. "Looks like we're going to be doing this the hard way," the man smiled as he gripped his saber. As he said this the red lights on the droids flickered on, showing that they were activating.
"Don't be so dramatic," Blake sighed as the soldiers prepared for combat.
"Intruder!" one of the soldiers blared as revved up his miniguns. "Identify yourself!"
