Thanks for the reviews everyone! I love reading them.
Now, without further ado, lets get on with the chapter! :D
"Who are you!?" Someone voiced, making me turn around to see a woman with long and dark brown hair.
My heart jumped up as I tried to speak, 'Tali! It's me!' but instead another voice spoke, "You don't recognize me, Rev?" it was behind me.
"Yes, sorry about that. Had my mind wiped. Got a lot of angry people telling me I forgot their birthdays." Tali responded with sarcasm, her hands going to her hips, "Mind telling me who you are?"
"The name's Nadia. Nadia Kameir. Former General of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Mandalorian war." The voice continued, making me move to see Nadia standing here, "Jedi Knight, Jedi Exile, and apparently a Jedi Master too." The woman sighed shaking her head, "Former best friend of Jedi Knight Revana Lestr. You wouldn't happen to know her?"
Tali looked at Nadia with a blank face, "How did you find me?"
Nadia smiled, "Oh, that's easy." The woman smirked, "I got my T3 unit to unlock my HK unit's locked memory core and he imitated your voice which unlocked the Navi-Com which got me to a bunch of other planets and then to here."
"Why did you come?"
"Eh, Well, I was exiled for roughly a decade. Wandering around with no force ability then was on a Republic Ship, was attacked by a creepy Sith who had a thing for me and then ran into one of your old masters and a cocky smuggler." Nadia smiled at the mention of Atton, "And then I discovered that I was a… I'll use Vrooks words, 'A sipher, forming bonds, leeching the life of others, siphoning their will and dominating them.'" The woman sighed and rolled her eyes, "That old nutbag never did like me."
Tali tilted her head, "He didn't like me either."
"Yeah. Then I discovered that your old mentor, Kreia as she called herself, was a Sith and all this stuff happened, and she basically told me to come find you."
"You followed the word of a Sith?"
"Well, she was kinda a Sith but not." Nadia paused, "She hated the force and wanted to kill it through me. But yeah."
Tali paused and nodded her head, "Fair enough." She said, "Kinda."
Nadia nodded her head and walked closer to Tali, "So Rev. What's the plan?"
Tali looked at her for a moment, "There's a sith empire. Survivors of the Great Hyperspace War exiled to beyond the outer rim. That's where Malak and I went when we returned as Sith." She told Nadia, "They are planing to take the Republic."
Nadia nodded her head as Tali continued.
"That's why I left them behind. Carth had to make the republic strong… Canderous... Mandalore to bring the Mandalorians back to their former strength. To fight the Sith. To beat them."
Nadia nodded her head again, "So what's the plan?"
Tali opened her mouth to speak, "We…-"
"Leia! Wake up!"
I jolted awake, "Huh, what?" I said, looking around.
Ayden was standing next to the bed and looking at me.
I blinked and glanced at the clock. I let out a groan and flopped back down on my bed.
"A…Luuuuukkkeee. What? I don't have to be up for another two hours." I groaned.
Ayden raised an eyebrow.
"Leia." He said with a shake of his head, "We're supposed to do something today, remember?"
I blinked at him as my brain started to boot up, "Oh right!" I exclaimed, sitting up.
We have been here for three days. Over those three days we have been gathering up some information. I discovered that it had been 7 years since Malak bombed Taris. So it's 7 years from KotOR and 4 years since KotOR 2.
I still didn't know what we were doing here.
Ayden had been working in the Droid Repairs and he had been trying to fix T3. Yesterday he had managed to make the last part. I think one of those twins that work with him helped. I dunno why, they just did.
Today he was installing the part and we were going to steal a ship and get away from here.
Yes I know. Stealing ships are bad and blab bla bla, but you'd be crazy if you were here for 3 days.
We had a plan and everything to get out of here. Well, sorta. It was more of a make it up as you go along plan. But hey, every good plan was like that! Yup, this was no recipe for disaster!
"Right." I muttered before looking to where Lyrisa was still sleeping in her bed, "What about Juno?"
Ayden glanced at her, "I don't know. We can't leave her, I know that." He said as he watched her, "But what can we say to her to get her to come, that wno't tip off the amera-cay's?"
I looked down in thought, how indeed.
"Eh, leave that to me." I shrugged. We did have work together, so I'd think of something.
Ayden nodded his head.
"So why are you so interested in this droid?"
Ayden looked up at Abano and shrugged, "Dunno. Just call it a hobby."
"Uh-huh."
Ayden held his hand out as Abano passed him the central motivator. Ayden took the droid part and moved it into the T3 unit. There was a click sound as it snapped into place.
Ayden moved back and looked at the droid.
Nothing.
"Hmm." The boy muttered as he went closer to the T3 until again.
"Hey Abano, do you have anything to charge him with?" Ayden asked as he looked up at the twin for a moment.
He looked thoughtful before nodding, "Sure." He said as he moved over to the bench. He grabbed something off it that looked like a silver box.
He grabbed one end of it and pulled a cord out of it and handed the cord to Ayden. Ayden took it and saw that the end of the cord fit into an opening inside T3. He moved his arm in and plugged it in.
He then moved back and looked at the twin and nodded his head.
"This should give him enough charge to start him up, then he should be able to charge himself." The twin told him, "If he works, that is."
Abano then pressed a button on the side of the box. Lights lit up on the box, the colour going from red to green. There was a quiet whir noise.
"T3-M4 = Booting up / T3 = Low Power."
The shock of actually understanding the droid was squashed immediately by the joy of getting the droid working. Ayden had a grin on his face.
"He works!" Abano exclaimed, "I didn't expect him to."
Ayden looked at the twin and grinned.
"T3 = Recharge." The droid chirped before his top head slumped down a bit.
Ayden looked at him and then at Abano, "He's recharging." He stated.
Abano looked at him with a raised eyebrow, "You understand binary?"
"Apparently."
Just at that moment Aldan appeared, "I heard droid. Did you get him working?"
Ayden nodded his head, "Yup. Poor little fella is now recharging."
Aldan nodded his head before walking away again.
Ayden couldn't help but smile when he looked back at T3. He didn't know where they were in specifics, but he was glad that he got T3 fixed. Now they just had to get off this moon.
I put the container into a cupboard and sighed. As much as I enjoyed cooking, this was not fun. Ugh. I don't think Lyrisa was enjoying it either.
Actually, I was fairly certain that she wasn't.
"Was it like this last time you were here?" Lyrisa asked me.
I glanced over at her from where she was sitting on the bench and shook my head, "Nah, I was more into saving the galaxy from… people… than cooking meals for soldiers." I answered her.
"Oh."
I glanced at her, "Oday ouyay eakspay Igpay Atinlay?" I asked her speaking in Pig Latin so, hopefully, no one could understand us.
She looked at me and blinked, "Umm, no. But yes?"
"Areway ouyay ayingsay ouyay ormallynay ouldn'tway utbay ancay ownay?"
She nodded her head.
"Oodgay. Aydenway andway Iway avehay away anplay otay etgay outway ofway erehay andway Iway eednay ouyay otay ustjay oday asway Iway aysay, Okway?"
She looked at me with a frown but nodded her head, just as the door slid open. To my surprise (and annoyance) it was Aasa.
"Hello." He greeted us.
"G'day Aasa." I greeted him roughly.
He looked at me with a frown and then at Lyrisa. He pulled a remote looking thing out of his pocket and pressed a button on it. He then looked at me, "Why did you say the Jedi weren't evil?"
I raised an eyebrow at him, "Because they're not." I simply told him.
"How do you know that? Who told you?"
I looked at him and then glanced up at the cameras.
"They're off." He told me, "I couldn't risk my asking to be overheard."
I glanced at Lyrisa and she shrugged. I then looked back at Aasa, "Why do you want to know?"
The man stood up straight and looked up, "Because… something doesn't add up." He admitted to me, "So how do you know?"
"Because I'm not evil." I said with a sigh.
He glanced at me, with a frown, "Huh?"
"I am a Jedi."
"What?!" Aasa exclaimed, his hand going to the blaster strapped onto his side, but he stopped before pulling it out of the holster.
"Now, why do you think Jedi are evil?" I asked him, crossing my arms.
"Because that's how we were raised… what we were taught." He told me with a frown.
"Why on Earth would you be taught that?"
"The Darian Army… We are in allegiance with the Sith Empire."
"WHAT?!" I exclaimed with wide eyes.
Some of you have already guessed that, but there's clarification for ya. :D
Don't forget to review and tell me what you think! :)
