Chapter 2

Aftermath and Onderon

As we traveled the galaxy for more then a day now I begin to pondered about something, They say that history repeats itself this couldn't more true with the planets that were destroyed and rebuild years later, Three planets were wiped off the galaxy Taris, Telos, and Peragus II. People who escaped the bombardments were outraged at the being that caused this, The jedi were blamed for the destruction of Dantooine and the exile didn't take kindly as she allied herself with the mercenaries and took control of the planet, Vrook was killed after the takeover, But enough with the back story here we are a group of jedi, two soldiers of the republic, and a smuggler. Though we thought no one else was on board we heard a 'beep boop bop beep' coming from the engine room. I offered to see what it was Master Revan nodded, I headed back to the engine room there I saw a T3 droid, It was communicating though I had little training of repairing Astro droids I never actually spoke to one.

"Beep bop boop beep bop."

"Who am I? I'm Jarret Kalimneak."

"Beeeep booop bop bop beep."

"Who's with me? my masters and a couple of people from Telos."

"Beeeep bop beep bop bop beep."

"Oh specific, Revan, Bastila, Mission, Carth, Atton, and Naina."

"Beeep! boop bop beeep!"

"You know master Revan!? I will take you to him."

The little T3 droid seemed happy as I can tell by it's programming of course, I motioned it to follow me to the main hull of the ship there it let out a loud 'beeeep!'

"Who disrupted my training?...T3! long time no see!" Revan seemed happy to see this droid back I don't know why he didn't tell me and the strange thing is the T3 droid was not here before could it been that it recognize the ship and hopped aboard? Still I was a little puzzled.

Then Atton walked into the room he seemed to have a different look on the T3 droid. "Oh what ya know it's that little thief, come back to still the ship and laugh at me like you did 5 years ago? where's Handmaiden surely she knew of our presence?"

Bastila interrupted before Atton could cause trouble or at least make things worse "Atton! the handmaiden did not follow T3 if she did she would've been on the ship"

"Good point or maybe they're tricking us like they did last time you know it was good that exile wounded Atris."

Then Naina stepped in she didn't talk like a Jedi Consular when I first met her she seemed to take a personality of a rebel jedi. "Atris is dead! and so is my grandfather I wish the exile stayed lost or didn't recover but Traya had to awaken her and look now where the galaxy is now."

A voice that seemed faint spoke to the angered renegade jedi. "I had to do it, I thought she changed but I was wrong I offered her freedom so she didn't suffer, Taking my title back as a sith lord would changed her mind about her alliance I was foolish and ashamed, Don't follow in her path young one follow your heart vengeance is only for those who wish to taste the dark side heed my thoughts."

Naina held her head she didn't want to hear the thoughts of the one who awoken Darth Tsunaki, she fell to her knees and try to recite the jedi code "There is ..no..emotion..there is peace."

I walked to her to offer her help she looked at me and smiled and grabbed my hand as I pulled her up on her feet she still smiled and thanked me as she walked away to meditate.

Revan started to offer guidance. "Be weary she is a tricky one she could fall at any moment be on guard at all time my young apprentice."

I nodded as I started to think."Why did she change of all of a sudden? When I first met her she seemed calm and peaceful could it be that she was only playing that this is her true side?" "Master can you promise to keep someone safe?"

Revan's had an upset expression on his face he looked at Bastila then at me. "You can't promise to keep someone safe they'll either fall or you will fall, Sometimes you could end up losing the one you care about the most I had that experience once."

I started to walk around the ship for no apparent reason the words of master Revan echoed through my mind. "You could end up losing the one you care about." I shook my head I cared about people just not one certain person." I kept walking around randomly till I saw Naina meditating she didn't know I was standing right by the entrance to her room.

"Give me the power to hear the thoughts of everyone here" The force was channeling through her as she began to hear thoughts of everyone.

"The exile will pay I don't care if I fall I just want to see her die" Carth's thought were troubling if he didn't stop thinking of revenge the dark side would take over.

Atton's thought were him playing pazzak in his mind. "Lets see the nine goes before the three but if there's a negative card I have to carry a half and half card just to be safe."

Mission seemed a little upset about something. "Grif I hope your safe and not getting into trouble or already in trouble the exchange could take this out of control and Big Z hope your doing well."

Next was Bastila's who seemed to remember of her and Revan's past adventures. "He saved me and I owe him he already knows about my feelings for him I was a little foolish to love but he seemed confident I will stay be you Revan."

Revan kind of had the same thought but it was of different things then one thought. "My friends I thank them enough for staying by me through the reign of Malak too bad I left while the exile took over I would've stopped her but I didn't forgive me my masters."

Then it was my thoughts that were next I had to find a way to ignore it to think of something different when I focused all my energy on keeping my mind locked she started to become suspicious.

"You've been standing there the whole time have you? Is there something so secret that you kept your mind locked?...or is it that you don't trust me?" she was looking pretty angry and if I didn't answer who knows what she might do.

"Yes I've been standing here and my mind is not a book that you could simply read, My thoughts are my own you don't need to know." I started to walk away till she caught me in a force field.

"Nice trick huh? I picked it up when my master used it on a sith to make sure he wouldn't tell..I'll let you go this time" she put her hand down and I was able to walk again.

"The force is not for childish behavior be aware of that."

She sighed and shrugged her shoulders. "Your not my mentor if I need guidance I'll seek Revan or Bastila not another knight"

"Note this I may be a knight but I know more about training then you"

She scoffed and shoo me away.

Walking around the ship again I was trying to locate the combat room or something that had enough space the cargo hold seemed a right place as long as I didn't destroyed anything I could train. I took out my lightsaber and started to practice in the arts of the defense. I used both mentally and physical skills in balance so I didn't use much of one skill.

Carth was trying to get over his revenge state but it wouldn't go away in a minute, All he to do is just try to keep his mind off the event and he would be fine through the day. Meanwhile on Onderon a debate had gotten out of control as assassins were attacking the palace.

"Hurry the queen must die for insulting the chancellor!" Soldiers were in all different directions trying to gain entrance into the palace, The turrets were holding them off but not for long.

"Queen Tailia the soldiers have almost broke in we should do?" An Iridonian was standing by the window waiting for the queens order.

"Bao-Dur I need you to alert a ship any ship to come help us fend off these soldiers, I appointed you my guard for a reason your loyal, trust worthy, and good damn fighter at best."

"Thank you Tailia" Bao-Dur headed for the nearest terminal and trying to find a ship that was closet in range "Found one..it can't be the ebon hawk how could it have survived in the last five years?..oh well never mind that for now"

Sending a distress call before it was too late Bao-dur hoped it got through "Come on before it's too late."

Carth's mind was busy somewhere else as the began to beep rapidly though he didn't notice it before quickly he snapped out of if "What the...a distress call from Nar Shaddaa?" he began to type as quickly as possible to get the message out.

"Greetings crew of ebon hawk, my name is Bao-Dur general of the Nar Shaddaa army, Queen Tailia has requested your help in this time of need we will be forever grateful."

Carth started to set coordinates to Nar Shaddaa trying to locate a landing bay that could lead into the city. "Everyone were heading for Onderon so hold on this might get a little rough."
