Sorry for the delay. I was taking a break. :)

*.*.*

Parker's disc-like ship, with its red outer shell, had a lot to offer. There were a few hallways with new panel walls and floors, as well as a garage with three workbenches and a place to store speeder bikes, a holoterminal – a round grey terminal used for sending holocalls – cargo hold, rooms, a medical room, a control room, and the cockpit. There were also a couple of hidden rooms underneath the floor, perfect for a getaway.

He looked up at Qua'ra, still in her human form, join him. She sat on the co-pilot seat, as he set the coordinates for the planet Lehon. He had no idea what he would find there, or what timeline he would enter. He just hoped he and Qua'ra returned to their base unharmed.

At last, they were through the wormhole and through a hyperspace tunnel, a tunnel with blue light around every angle, driving their ship forward.

"What do you think we'll find on Lehon," Qua'ra asked him, curious.

"If anything, trouble," Parker said, smiling. "Come on. Have some hope. What's the worst that could happen?"

"Well, besides you forming this special squad of heroes, who may have a lot of issues to bear, I'd say we're doing pretty good," Qua'ra said, annoyed. She shook her head, pressing another button. "I can't say the same once we reach the Infinite Empire."

"I'm sure we'll be fine," Parker said, pulling down a lever that caused the ship to jump out of hyperspace. Before them was a world filled with a clear blue water and a string of islands. "This is it. This is Lehon!"

"Then you'd better be ready for the welcome party. So, where do we land?" Qua'ra asked as they reached the planet's atmosphere.

"Um…" Parker checked the area, as the ship neared one large island with a house, as well as dead Rakata – alien soldiers with tall cranium heads, smooth skin, tridactyl limbs, and horizontal eye stalks – strewn across the beach. "Here is good." He said, landing on the white sandy shore, not too far away from the house. He sighed, stunned by all the bodies scattered about the area. Who would do this? This wasn't bloodshed involving a lightsaber. He would know the difference.

No. Whoever did this made a mess of things. He looked at Qua'ra as they departed the ship and explored the area.

"I know what could have done this. See the tooth marks on this soldier!" Qua'ra said, pointing out a chunk of one Rakata soldier taken out. "This must have been an animal. A wolf, no doubt. A big one."

"A werewolf," Parker pointed out. "A new one."

"Well, he certainly made a mess of things here," Qua'ra said, shaking her head. "Honestly, if I was in lioness form, things would be different."

"How would they be different? Would you be able to control yourself?" Parker asked, intent on knowing the truth.

Qua'ra looked at him with a small smile. "As a matter of fact, I would." She stood up, telling him, "We need to head back. If the Rakata find out, they're going to blame us!"

A loud screech distracted the two companions, forcing them to gaze at live Rakata soldiers, heading this way. Parker looked at them in shock, moments before they grabbed him. He looked at Qua'ra, hoping she wasn't captured, too.

"What did I do?" Parker asked, nearly able to distinguish the Rakata's voices.

"You're coming with us!" One Rakata pointed out, gruffly. No way. Parker could understand him!

"Tobias," a second Rakata laughed.

"Tobias?" Parker realized what timeline he was in. He heard stories of a wolf slaughtering a tribe of Rakata. Was this part of Janet's legend? Her legacy! Did she marry a werewolf? "Wait. I'm not Tobias! I don't even know what he looks like! Stop!" He shouted, hoping to get Qua'ra's attention. "Qua'ra, save yourself! Or find a way to free me! Help!"

~o~

Qua'ra watched as Parker was taken away. She didn't understand. The soldiers were leaving her in the middle of a crime scene! What were they thinking? They only wanted Parker? But why? Something must be done.

She looked at the place where Parker's ship was located. She could go back and warn the shapeshifters about the emperor's fate. But would they listen? Reluctantly, she followed Parker and the Rakata soldiers, not knowing where they were taking him. Just that Parker wouldn't be thrown in a dungeon or worse.

If that was the case, then Qua'ra would do what it took to free her emperor and master. They would succeed at getting this alliance, right? For sure, they would! She just didn't know what the consequences were and what it would cost them, all for the sake of their treaty signed.
