Months passed by and in that time the entire council had closed ranks and only select groups were allowed out of the ships for any reason during that time. They spent that time reflecting on the loss of life, so many people killed during Infernis's attack, so many hopeful children and strong knights wiped out in a single blast. All their backup plans were compromised by Luca's betrayal, so they drifted through the darkness of space preparing for the inevitability that they would encounter Infernis again.
The group of four Jedi were in the training hall, which had all but become their home for the last several months when X2 entered and walked toward them.
"Master, is there something you need from us?" Vic asked as he wiped the sweat from his brow.
"No, but I have something which might interest you." X2 held out a data pad which Seraphina quickly took and examined it.
"What is it?"
"Something that you should not have, but I would recommend you looking at." He said nothing else than that and with a flourish of his robes he turned and walked out.
"Anyone else getting the feeling that this has to do with Luca?" Kobak asked.
"Definitely," Vic nodded. "Let's get it to one of our personal computers and look at what it is."
They hurried to Seraphina's room and plugged in the data pad, but as soon as they did they realized it was heavily encrypted. "Well, this isn't much help," she mused and began to type on her computer. After several failed attempts they all sat there in her room in a general state of disappointment.
You know…I could get that open for you.
"You can?" Kobak said outloud.
"Can what? What's going on?" Anoxa asked with a worried frown.
"I know you don't do anything for free. Why would you help me?"
Let's just say that if I do this you will owe me a favor.
"What kind?"
Just sometime in the future you will have to do something I say, no questions asked, but I can already guess your next question and no…it won't end up hurting your friends.
Kobak glanced at everyone and nodded. "Okay." He walked to the machine and then screamed as he felt the symbiote take control. Every neuron was suddenly fueled by fire as his body moved on its own. His fingers typed furiously, bringing up codes and programs which effortlessly broke through the encryption. "Ow…ow…ow," Kobak whimpered. It had been quite a long time since he had last felt that much pain. Normally the symbiote kept him from feeling anything, but when it took control, he felt like he was dying.
"What did you just do?"
"I let the symbiote hack into it," Kobak told her and beckoned them to come closer. "It looks like this is a scout report. It's reports on the locations that Infernis has been seen. He's been traveling to certain planets quite often."
"This is how we find him," Anoxa said with a venomous look in her eyes. "This is how we find her."
"The masters will never let us leave and we are traveling in hyperspace," Seraphina pointed out.
"We know one master who will help us though," Vic said. "And there has to be a way to get us out of hyperspace."
I know one.
"What is it?"
Turn off the generator which powers the hyperspace.
"Wouldn't that hurt everyone?"
Yes. It would be rather splendid. But I doubt anyone would actually die from the ship suddenly being stopped in the middle of hyper speed. I could do it from here…
Kobak thought on this and then grinned as he looked at the others. "Or we can go to the computer console which controls it and turn it off from there!"
"Remember, Kobak, we can't hear the voice in your head," Anoxa smirked.
"We go to the power console for the hyperspace controls and turn it off."
"
That's pretty guarded, only the masters have access to it," Seraphina mused.
"But in case of emergencies they have their own personal codes which can be used to do it remotely," Vic said. "X2 has helped ups before. He might again."
"If not, we could always take Splyn'ter's," Anoxa told them. "Either way, let's try to do this. Everyone get ready, if we turn off hyperspace we need to move quickly."
They nodded in agreement and got as much stuff as they could and then went to check on X2. His door slid open and they found him floating in the middle of his room, deep in meditation.
"Master, we need your help," Vic told him.
X2 slowly opened his eyes. "What more can I do for you?"
"We may or may not need your personal codes to potentially shut off the hyperdrive engine," Kobak told him.
X2 glanced at them and then closed his eyes back. "No."
"Awesome. We're stealing Splyn'ter's," Anoxa said and didn't wait for the others to go find Splyn'ter.
"You wouldn't happen to have it written down some place would you?" Vic asked hopefully as he slid a pad to him. "Or you know, you wouldn't happen to accidentally put it in my data pad would you?"
X2 didn't reply as he was already back in deep meditation. Vic sighed and looked back to his friends, but they had already left to find Splyn'ter. Quickly he chased after them. He found them in Splyn'ter's room, anger radiating off of Anoxa as she stood before him.
The small Drall was sipping on tea while sitting on his tiny table. Beside him rested Luca's damaged lightsaber, a memento had had taken hold of after he discovered her betrayal. Anoxa's eyes burned into the saber before she looked to him. "We're going after Luca. We need your code to get out of her," she said without bothering with any honorifics for him.
He stopped mid sip and looked to them. "I know this time has been hard for you, but-"
"No. No more talking. We need your code."
He frowned as he stared into Anoxa's angry eyes. "I am sorry, Anoxa, but I cannot help you."
"Not even to save Luca?" Kobak asked. "She was your student. Your padawan."
"I know what she was…and I know what she is now. That is why I cannot let you go after her. Go back to your rooms. Rest. Continue your training. That is how you can help her the most by growing stronger."
Anoxa balled her hand into her fist, but before she could Vic placed his hand on her shoulder. "You're right Master, forgive us." He tugged at her and with a grudging acceptance she walked out with the rest.
"I could have gotten his code from him. My pheromones-"
"He trained Luca, he would be accustomed to pheromones," Seraphina told her.
"Then I have a perfectly good blaster which would work as well," Anoxa said as she crossed her arms below her chest and took a deep breath. They were right. She knew it. But for the first time in months they had a chance, a small chance, and she wouldn't let it slip through her fingers.
"I've got an idea. I might can hack the code."
You mean I can hack it for you.
"You think so?" Seraphina asked him.
He nodded. "I got a really good idea of what the symbiote did. I think I can reproduce it. But doing it without the code will set the alarms off, and stop the ship which will likely cause some damage."
What? When I say that idea it's all no, that's immoral. When you do it they think you're a genius. I object to you using my ideas!
"Then let's get to the docking back. We can use the Secret Runner and use the computer in there to hack it." Anoxa suggested. Gathering their gear, they headed to their ship and once they were on it Kobak used the same technique he had seen the symbiote use to hack into the main system. A few seconds later the entire ship was ripped from hyperspace. Their ship was tossed from its anchor, but Vic was still in the pilot seat and as soon as the ship stopped he had shot out from the hold and into the void of space.
Seraphina brought up the view cam to see the Jedi ship stalled and the power fading on it. It was damaged, but it could be repaired. "Sorry masters," she whispered. They had just betrayed the Order, even if they brought Luca back, would they be able to go back?
"We'll go to the system which is closest to us and start there," Vic said and keyed in the coordinates.
Anoxa smiled and sat back. For the first time in months she felt like she was actually doing something. The anger which had fueled her was still there, but now she was doing something about it. She wasn't just sitting there twiddling her thumbs. She would not return until she had found the Sith who had taken Luca and ended her.
After Kobak and Seraphina worked to disable their tracking device, they divided up what they had as far as resources. Since they went rogue, they didn't exactly have the supplies and credits that they normally would were they backed by the Order. "When we get there, we need to get the ship's credentials forged and repainted. We can't have the Order find us," Anoxa said. "We'll do what we can to hide ourselves and see what we can find when we get there."
The closest planet they could get to was planet Gaara, a sun scorched world rich in raw cortosis. Upon landing, the group changed out of their traditional robes into common clothes, and hid their deadly sabers within their confides. A man met them as they came out, a Trashdonian with a gravely voice. "What are you doing here?" he huffed.
"Just here on some business," Vic told him and with a slight wave of his hand mesmerized the man with the force. "We need our ship repainted and some records changed on it. You can do that for us, right?"
"I can do that for you," the man replied.
"Good," Vic smirked.
"We're looking for someone. Seen any dark clothed figures? Sith? People wielding lightsabers?" Anoxa asked him.
The man seemed confused. "No one comes here. Unless they're going for the cortosis. But the headquarters are all the way in the north."
The group exchanged knowing glances. Cortosis could deactivate lightsabers. If Infernis was doing anything on this world, acquiring that and making armor out of it would make his army even more fearsome. "How long will it take to get our ship ready?" Seraphina asked.
"A few hours."
Put your best people on it. We'll be back for it," Vic said and with that the four Jedi began to investigate the small port town that they had entered.
"Cortosis is bad stuff to be in his hands," Kobak muttered. "I never understood why the Jedi don't use it. It would save a lot of limbs." As he said this he eyed Seraphina's metal arm and knew that beneath her clothes Anoxa had a metal leg as well. His symbiote deactivated sabers on contact, meaning that while his bonding wasn't ideal, at least he would get to keep all his limbs.
"The Jedi have their ways. They believe that relying too heavily on armor would make you cocky, which could draw you close to the darkside," Anoxa explained. "It also dampens your warrior instincts when you have no fear of a blade."
"But isn't that better than death?"
Anoxa sighed. "Don't get me wrong. I think it's stupid too. It's one thing when your opponent isn't using it, but if Infernis is loading his troops up with cortosis then I'll be damned if I'm not going to fight them on an even plane."
"We've got a few hours to kill. Let's split up and see what we can uncover."
"I'll do that and see if I can't earn us some money while we're here," Anoxa said.
"Doing what?" Kobak asked with a confused and somewhat innocent expression on his face.
Anoxa just smiled to him. "What Zeltron's do best. Bring pleasure." She waved to them as she sauntered off down an alleyway.
"You think she's going to be okay by herself?" Kobak asked the others. "Ever since Luca, she's changed."
"She lost her best friend. Luca's one of our dearest friends, but to Anoxa, that was her other half. I believe that Anoxa could have gone through anything as long as Luca was there at the end of the day. The same could probably be said for Luca, but without her… I don't know. I don't think that connection is broken though. I don't believe it could ever be broken. She may say that she's searching for her to kill her, and perhaps she is. But I don't know if when she comes face to face with her if she could do it," Vic explained. "One thing I'm certain of though, may the Force help whatever Sith gets in between her and Luca."
Seraphina nodded in agreement. "Let's go. Time is something we don't have much of."
The group separated and agreed to meet back in a few hours when the ship was done to relay any information they might have. Anoxa was the last to return, but she also came back with several stacks of credits, enough to cover them for a little while should they need it. "You look more relaxed," Kobak smiled when he saw her.
"Yeah, it's nice to let loose every once in awhile," she said and ruffled his head as she took a seat. "I learned that there have been sightings of Sith here. They come in twos, though no one remembers seeing Infernis."
"He's pretty hard to miss," Seraphina mused. "No one has seen a Zeltron either. Do we think this is the right place?"
"Perhaps. Only one real way of knowing. Our ship should be done. Let's go and fly to the cortosis plant and see what we can find." Vic stood and the others followed. After acquiring their freshly updated ship they did just that. As they neared the plant, a signal was sent out from the command there.
"Ship, state your business," the voice came over.
Kobak looked to the others as he pressed the button. "We're inspectors," he blurted out quickly.
"Here to do an evaluation."
"What? This is the second one in three months. We were told we weren't due for another one till next year."
"Not my problem," he replied. "It's a surprise. So, surprise."
"Hold on. I'm gonna verify this with the higher ups."
Kobak's eyes widened and he muted their conversation. "Can you alter my voice?"
Sure thing kid. The symbiote began to crawl up his neck and over his mouth forming a murky black mouth piece for him to speak out of. While it did that, his fingers danced across the console, trying to intercept the outgoing call. Once he did, he quickly brought up a new channel to speak to him through. "Hello?" he said in what sounded like a female Twi'lek's voice.
"Yeah, this is Bob from Sector 7 on Gaara. We've got some inspectors here and I need to verify their clearance."
"Hold please and let me check our records." Kobak took a few deep breaths to steady himself and buy time before he spoke again. "Yes, looks like you have four inspectors who are doing inventory control and checking personnel records and visitor logs. Allow them full access for what they need."
There was an audible groan from the other end. "Fine. Fine." That call was disconnected and the man, Bob, then tried to call Kobak back.
"Now give me my normal voice back."
Nah. Like the way Twi'lek's speak.
"Do it now or I will stab you with my saber."
Fine. Fine. Have it your way with your annoying voice.
The symbiote began to crawl back down his throat and Kobak quickly answered. "Did you get confirmation?"
"Yeah, I did. You're cleared to land. I'll meet you at the docking bay."
With that the connection was disconnected and Kobak sat back with a sigh. He was getting good at this!
Once they had landed they were greeted with a few officers who gave them each badges to get in. "You were granted full access. So we've got be cheerful to you. Where do you want to start?" Bob asked.
"We'll start with your computer records," Seraphina said.
"Fine with me. You'll see that all our stuff is up to date." He lead them through a few doors, allowing them access with his own badge. "This is our records room. Anything else you need?"
"No this will be all, thank you," Vic said. They waited for him to leave before Kobak sat down and began to pull up the security feeds and records.
"I'll see if I can find anything on Infernis."
"I guess I'll go through some of the other records," Seraphina said.
"While you do that, Vic and I will explore some."
"Be careful, we're not alone here," Kobak warned as he pulled up an image of two dark clothed figures walking through the area. One was a large monstrous form with thick armor, and the other was a slender and smaller frame wearing a similar armor with flowing robes.
"Sith," Anoxa frowned. "See if you can find what their ship is. We could track them if we don't end up killing them."
Kobak nodded and began doing just that.
Anoxa and Vic went through the plant, with Kobak given them information as they went as to where the Sith were. "Looks like they're getting ready to leave."
"I've got an idea," Vic mused as he stared at a rather large slab of cortosis. "This might come in handy."
"I'm fine with it. It's raw so we can't do much with it and can't touch it, but it could be a valuable bargaining tool."
"Just what I was thinking." Vic held up his hand and the air around it shimmered while space folded around it. It disappeared from sight, appearing within the confines of one of the holding areas which Vic pictured in his mind's eyes.
"Kobak, we're heading back now. Let's follow the Sith," Anoxa said.
Kobak downloaded the data and Seraphina grabbed some records before they headed out. The Jedi met up back at their ship with Vic and Anoxa getting in the pilot and co-pilot seat. "You got the Sith ship locked in our system?" Vic asked.
Kobak sat in the communication chair and inserted the data. "Yeah, I've got their records. They've already broken orbit."
"Then we'll follow them and find what they're planning," Anoxa said as their ship launched off after them. They were entering hyperspace when a message came over the system, breaching all their security protocols and forcing itself onto every screen.
"What the hell? I don't…I don't recognize this language," Kobak frowned. "Do you?"
Don't care. It's not important.
"I don't recognize it either. It's not like a language I've seen," Seraphina said from her seat as she stared at the image.
Anoxa froze as she read it. Her hand shook as she hit a few keys and brought them out of hyperspace.
"What's going on?" Vic asked her.
"I think we should wait," she told him. "I don't think we should follow them. Just track them."
"Why?" he asked again, but could sense the wavering feelings within. Her light flickered violently as if her entire world was suddenly shattering. That message had done something to her, that much was obvious. But what was it?
"Just…just a hunch." Her eyes stared at the screen in disbelief. The reason no one knew the language was because it was Zeltron, but not a normal dialect of it. It was augmented, a little joke between her and…Luca. It was only two words. Don't Follow. Why would Luca send that? Were they going into a trap? If so, why did she warn them. What was going on with Luca? "I-I need some time to think. Let's go to the next planet on the list." With that Anoxa left her seat and walked back to her room, needing a moment alone. She sat down on her bed and took off her boot. Her hand traveled over her foot, feeling where Luca's name had been engraved into it. All of her anger over the last few months was now fading in a wave of confusion. She had forced herself to try and distance herself from Luca, and yet now her heart was conflicted. Luca was always full of her secrets. She never told Anoxa the full truth to protect her, she never even told
Vic or Seraphina that she was an assassin. Was this the same thing? Was this just another secret that she had kept them from them? "Luca…why? What are you doing? Are you…are you really still out there?"
"I ran the message through our systems, but it can't recognize it. It's not any known language," Seraphina said as she slipped into the co-pilot seat and slipped her hand in Vic's. "Think she knows what it is?"
"Yeah, I think that's a good guess. I want to know what it is, but she'll tell us if we need to know."
"Now is not the time for secrets," Seraphina frowned.
"No, it's a time for a trust I think. We'll go to the next planet and try to figure out or next move."
As he put in the coordinates Seraphina shifted and looked at them.
"This is the next place?"
"Yeah, why?"
"It's coordinates are similar to one of the ones listed in Infernis's holocrons. One of the weapons is suppose to be there."
"I'm way past the point of coincidences here."
"That makes two of us."
Anoxa came out of her room a day later when they were exiting hyperspace. She walked up to the cockpit as they appeared before an Imperial blockade around the planet. "What just happened?"
"You've got me but this bad. Kobak, get on the coms," Vic ordered and Kobak quickly hurried to comply.
"What are you doing here? Who are you?" One of the commanders of the several Imperial Star
Destroyers asked them.
"We're Je-"
Stop that! This the Empire! You trying to get me killed?
Right! Kobak thought, they needed to be something commonplace. Smugglers!
We're dead.
"We're ambassadors for peace," Anoxa said over his shoulder.
"Ambassadors? What are you doing on that ship?"
"Our previous ship was stolen. This was the only replacement we could get. We-" She paused as more ships began to appear beside them. She stopped and focused on the intense feeling she was getting from the ships. She reached out and used the force to far see, coming up with an image of the ships and realizing who it was.
"Damn it, it's Sith," the commander said. "I don't care who you are. Get down to the planet and we'll sort you out. Don't want any innocents caught in the crossfire."
"…really?" Seraphina asked in shock.
Vic didn't wait for them to second guess as a war was already beginning. He turned the ship toward the planet to get away from the battle. While they were flying, however, they got a good view of the Sith star destroyers. There were five in total, with four moving in a diamond formation with one in the center of that formation. The star destroyer was barely seen, but it was obvious that it was different from the others. Dark smoke billowed out of it and wrapped around the ship like an ominous cloud of dark energy and fear.
"If he's here then that means that there is something on this planet that he wants."
"The weapon," Seraphina said, finishing Anoxa's thought.
The ship landed and they were greeted by a worried and baffled human who looked up at the sky. "What are you doing here? Do you have word as to what is going on?"
"Sith are attacking, the-our Empire is going to keep us safe. But we've been sent down with the express purpose of locating and transporting a relic to safe keeping," Seraphina explained.
"I have no idea about any relics," the man said, obviously more worried about the space battle than whatever they were here for. "But if you've got business I'll secure your transport while you take care of it." He took out his ID card which was attached to a clip tie and waved it through a pad to alert the ground crew to refuel their vehicle.
"Is there a computer we can use? We have the coordinates and there might be information we can find about where we need to go." Kobak asked him.
Just saying, we could take the ship, fly up to Infernis and let me bond with him. You get rid of me and I get to join a powerful host. How is that for an idea? Sounds good to me. I mean, you will die, but that's a risk I'm willing to take!
"Sure, just use the one over there," he said with a wave of his hand.
Kobak thanked him and hurried over to it. Inputting the coordinates that Seraphina gave him, he brought up a map of the area. "Looks like there is an archeological dig going on there…"
"Then we'd better hurry," Vic said. Anoxa was already securing them a ride which they took down through the forest paths and toward the dig site.
"Were you able to get much information about the site?" Anoxa asked as Kobak continued to work on a datapad.
"Not really. It just says they've been working on the site the last few weeks. Apparently this planet is a recent acquisition by the Empire."
"Oh…this isn't good," Vic said as they neared the site, seeing several dark clothed Sith guarding the site. However, the Sith bore the symbol of the Empire on their cloaks.
"The Sith work with the Empire now?" Kobak asked.
"No, not the true Sith under Krayt. These must be a different branch. Perhaps some sort of off shoot of the Imperial Knights," Anoxa explained.
"Regardless of who they are, they are going to be trouble. We can't use the force against them without starting a fight so we'll just have to lie our way through," Seraphina said.
"Let's do this then." Vic stopped their vehicle and the four of them got out only to be faced with several very angry Sith. One of which walked toward them wearing bright red armor.
"Who are you?"
"Envoys. A war is breaking out over head. We are here to acquire whatever artifacts might have been found so we can take them away and secure them in case the enemy makes it planetside," Kobak explained. "So, do you happen to have anything important?"
The Sith leader examined them and then looked around the area before nodding. "Yes, we have some tablets. Follow us inside and we'll prepare them for you."
Everyone relaxed a bit as they followed the Sith, but Kobak felt something was right. Very subtly, he reached out with the force to see if this leader bought his story. Unfortunately, he realized that he did not and they were walking into a trap. He tapped Vic and motioned for him to try to do something.
Vic realized what was going on as well and reached out with the force to try to compel the leader to believe them and do their bidding. As his powers wrapped around the mind of the leader he knew he had made a mistake. The leader's head turned toward him and he drew his lightsaber which shimmered with a blue light. "Kill them," he ordered. At that point all chaos ensued as lightsabers were drawn and the fight began.
The leader went straight for Vic, his lightsaber slashing into Vic's side, causing a freezing sensation to course through his flesh as ice crystals began to move along his side. Vic cursed at the feeling and waved his flying blades in an arch to lash out at his assailant.
As the battle progressed, Seraphina and Anoxa worked in unison to slice through the guards which saw the battle and moved to assist their friends. Seraphina wielded her blades in deadly unison, and Anoxa did her best to pick them off from afar with her blaster, but when they grew close she lashed at them with her light whip. Kobak moved up to where Vic and the commander were going at it, their lightsabers a blur of motion.
Using his symbiotes defensives, Kobak shrugged off lightsaber attacks and sliced through his opponents with ease. He side stepped as one of Vic's sabers flew past him to stab into the chest of one of the Sith who had managed to sneak up behind him. "Thanks!" He called out to Vic who just smirked and twirled around, his blades moving with him as he slashed through another who got too close. The commander knocked one of Vic's sabers out of the air, and as Vic moved to counter, throwing his his hand and sending blades right at him, the commander pushed them aside with a powerful blast of the force. He closed the opening in a second, slicing Vic's outstretched hand, cleaning the appendage off in a powerful stroke before slashing him across the chest and kicking him to the ground.
Vic collapsed in pain, screaming as ice covered his wounds and seeped inside of him. The screams and sounds of fighting were alerting more guards and both Anoxa and Seraphina were moving to them as they had left a path of dead bodies in their wake. "Keep your eyes on the battle boy," the commander hissed as he swung his blade at Kobak who raised his arm and caught the commander's outstretched hand which held his blade.
"I'm no boy," Kobak hissed as his eyes darkened. "I am a jedi!" He felt the symbiote bore his tentacles into his arm, but unlike this time he didn't feel any pain.
Oh…I like this idea.
It whispered in his mind as they worked in unison. Snapping the commander's arm with their combined strength, they drove his own saber into his smug mouth. The blade went right through him, his head slowly chilling into a frozen dome which shattered as Kobak pulled the blade from him. A lightsaber which froze? He didn't have time to ponder as he tucked it into his robe.
"Thanks for the help."
No one hurts my host but me.
Kobak smirked and grabbed Vic as Seraphina got their vehicle. "That saber is one of the weapons on the list. It's a blade that freezes. It has the be what Infernis is looking for. We need to leave now and get Vic some medical aid." Alarms were starting to sound and they couldn't stay there any longer.
Getting into their vehicle, they took off, not bothering to look behind them as they pushed the engines to their limits to get back to the spaceport and back to their ship. "We'll take the helm, get him to the med bay and try to stabilize him," Anoxa told Seraphina.
"I was already planning on it. If we've got to go through that…" She stared up at the sky and at the explosions which filled it. By the time they got to their ship the majority of the people had left to make their own escape. Seraphina secured Vic in the medical bay and Kobak took the pilot seat while Anoxa took the co-pilot. As the ship soared into the upper atmosphere Seraphina injected Vic with some adrenaline to wake him up.
Upon breaking orbit, the sight which greeted them was one of death and destruction. All of the Empire's impressive fleet had been destroyed by Infernis's small group. A group of five Star Destroyers took and twenty and won… Though Infernis had taken loses, only the darkened smoke filled ship remained along with one final Star Destroyer.
"This is not good," Kobak said as he began to enter coordinates. Anywhere would be better than staying here.
"Kobak!" Anoxa's voice made him look up as a brilliant beam of pure red energy erupted from the phantom ship. The powerful beam ripped through the debris which floated in space and aimed straight for them. Kobak quickly brought the ship up, trying his best to avoid the beam. Their ship moved as quickly as it could, and only due to his reflexes did they dodge it all. Even so the beam still grazed their backside, breaking through their shields and rocking the ship.
"We can't survive this." Kobak slammed on the intercom button. "Vic, are you awake?"
Vic sat up and leaned against the headboard, his head was spinning and his nub of a hand still ached enough to make it hard to concentrate. "What's going on?"
"Bad things. Can you get us out of here?"
Vic didn't need to know what was going on to hear the panic in Kobak's voice. He wasn't in any state to stand, much less fold space, but he had to do it to save his friends. He held out his good hand and focused. He could feel everything around them. He could hear the alarms going off signaling a fire where the beam hit them. He felt Seraphina running from him to go and put out the fires. He let his mind meet with everyone else's as one thought echoed in their minds.
Where?
Anoxa's thoughts were the loudest in his mind. It was thoughts of Luca, thoughts of home. Using her memories the world around them faded as they were pulled from space right as another beam would have pierced their ship. The force of moving that much caused the already weakened Jedi to pass out under the strain, his body needing time to heal. Kobak stared in awe and Anoxa audibly gasped as she saw a world she had long forgotten. "Zeltros," Kobak said in shock.
"Home," she echoed. She was about to say more when another alert went off.
