Chapter 2: Soldier's past
Adi Gallia soon wakes up, "Where am I" She says as she looks around. She then sees the Armored Warrior working on one of the droids, she jumps up quickly. He turns to her, "Nice for you to wake up, I would like to introduce myself" He says. "I don't want introductions, I want to know what do you want from us" Gallia says, the man shake his head. "Of course, you can't trust me when you see me now" He says, soon Anakin walks up to him. "Dooku was here, but one thing that got me wondering was why didn't you turn us in?" He asked, the Warrior turns to him. "Because why do so, I know some of these people's intentions. All the tech here is so advanced, laser weaponry is nothing but a joke" He gets up and walks to a door. It opens to several weapons that was stored in it and 5 Demon-class Interceptors, along with Black and white armor of his other 3 comrades that died. "So, you have been working on this?" Anakin asked, "Yes, just don't touch it" The man says. "Alright, enough games. Who are you then" Gallia asked, he turns to her "Matthew Hawkins, I'm from an Organization that was not from here" He says. Gallia watch him for a moment, but then relaxed. "Alright, fine. I'm sorry for my action. I should have thanked you" She says, Matthew raised his hand. "No need, you was just startled. You can go back home if you like" He says. Gallia was about to say something before Anakin came up to them, "That would be a problem, our ship has been destroyed." He says. Gallia turn to Matthew, "May Anakin borrow a ship?" She asked. "Wait, you're staying here?" Anakin asked, Gallia turns to him. "Only for a week or two, I would like to learn more about this man" She says. Matthew nods, "That's fine, in fact, By his look as a pilot. He can keep it and do whatever he likes" he says. Anakin nods.
As the ship leaves the wreckage, Gallia watched before turning to him. "Now, since the Padawan is gone. We can actually learn about each other much better" She says. Matthew looks at her before crossing his legs and sitting down, Gallia does the same. "So, Matthew, I would like to hear your past" She says. Matthew shook his head, "My past is something I don't want to explain. How about you go first" He says. Gallia knew her outright request startled him, "Alright, I can do that" She says. Gallia clears her throat, "I was born to a rich family in Coruscant. When I was only 3, I was given to the Council to be trained as a Jedi. As I took a seat in the Council, I knew invasion would happen, and it did. Naboo was attacked and occupied, but was eventually liberated. But now, we are faced in another war, the Clone War..." She says. She can see Matthew flinch each time she says 'War' or 'Invasion'. Gallia moves next to him, "Are you alright?" She asked. Matthew nods before walking away from her, she follows him to his room. She sees him removes his helmet, and then place it so it looks at her. He then takes a deep breathe and began coughing, "I can't tell her, if I do..." He soon feel her watching him. "I understand now" She walks up to him and touch his head. She was soon covered with memories of his past, she sees a unknown species attacking civilians as they run and a Transport that lands. She then sees a Strike Team with 3 wearing black and another 3 in white. One of them walked up with a green and black gun walk out, "Alright boys, lets move in" He says. She began to notice it was him in a different armor. She soon removed her hand from his hand and look at him, he looks even more pale than ever. "I was put up to join the XCOM, a Paramilitary Force that was created against the Alien Force that invaded" He says, He then takes a rifle out. "I was the leader of a Strike team deployed many times, soon winning every battle. But the last battle was costly, three members was killed and I don't know if anyone else survived when the Transport left" He says before turning to her. "What about your ability?" Gallia asked, Matthew takes a deep breathe. "I was picked for a project to get an advantage over the Aliens, It was the PSI Program. What it does was unlock the ability to use your mind as a weapon, so when the Jedi first came here during the battle of Dantooine a year back. It's like we are the same, but different" He says. He soon walks outside alone, Gallia soon follows.
As Matthew walks, he began to see a the vision. They sat there and look at each other, he soon kisses her as he removes her robe. She then began to remove pieces of his armor, before wrapping her arms around his neck. She soon kiss him again before the vision ends. "Why do I have these visions?" He asked himself, he continues to walk until they was seen again. He was on top of her, kissing down her body. He then kiss back up to her breast, kissing and sucking on her nipple. Matthew shakes it off again, "I need to keep my distance from her" He says before he sense Gallia near him, "Matthew?" She yelled. "Crap, I didn't think she'll be that close" He says to himself. He soon walks out from the corner, almost running into her. "Whoa, sorry about that. I...uh.. something was on my mind" He says. Gallia looks at him, "Okay, well I want to let you know I'm going to the market, would you like to come?" She asked. Matthew began to think of the vision, then shook it off. "Okay, but I'll pay" He says.
