Thanks for the reviews guys! I love 'em!
Just thought I'd point out. This story is not going to bare much resemblance to the 'Revan' book. They will be some similarities, but not many. The plot changed (with Revan being a woman and all) and different characters.
So, yah. I hope you all will like this chapter! :D
"We are in allegiance with the Sith Empire." Aasa repeated to me.
"Oh for the love of all things full of wholes." I moaned my hand on my face, "Of course. Of course you are. It's just my luck. That explains how you lot were all able to hide your force signatures, kinda."
I removed my hand from my face and looked at the man, "Can we trust you, Aasa?" I asked him, my hands going to my hips.
He bit his lip lightly, "I…"
"Because if you tell anyone that I am a Jedi… that Ayden is a Jedi… then we are dead. Well, first we'd be electrocuted, then tortured, and then killed. Possibly instead be corrupted by the Emperor like he did to Revan and Malak… but I'd rather die." I said, pointing a finger at him. Granted, if we were killed, we would go back home… But I do not want to leave without answers.
Aasa looked at Lyrisa and then at me.
"O…ok." He let out, "I'll help you. But… I want answers to my questions."
I glanced at him, "Don't we all?" I said before looking at the door, "Aasa, you gotta take us to Ayden, and then we need to steal a ship. As little involvement on your part would be brill, I don't want you to get into trouble."
"I'm coming with you."
I looked at him about to protest, but then shrugged, "Fine, whatever."
He nodded his head and moved to the door before he glanced back at me, "Uhh… who's Ayden?"
I let out a small laugh, "Luke." I said with a smile, "Luke's real name is Ayden. My real name is not Leia, I'm Reese. She's Lyrisa."
"Oh." Aasa blinked.
But he got over it has he slid a card through the lock on the door, making to door open and walked out it. I followed him, with Lyrisa following me.
Ayden lent on a table, watching the little droid recharge. The door slid open over the other side of the room, making Ayden look up to see Reese, Lyrisa and that Aasa dude.
They made their way over to him.
"Hey guys. What's up?" Ayden asked them when they got close enough.
"Ayden, Aasa is going to help us out." Reese spoke, her eyes traveling down to see T3 recharging. A smile appeared on her face.
"We have to move quickly." Aasa said as he looked around.
Ayden nodded his head as he crouched down next to T3. There was a switch next to where the droids head joined it's body and he flipped it.
T3's head raised, "T3 = Booting up / T3 = 23% charged."
"You got enough charge to make it to a ship?" Ayden asked him.
"T3 = Affirmative!" the silver plated droid chirped.
"Great." Ayden grinned and then glanced at Aasa, somewhat wearingly, "Ok then, mate, get us a ship."
Aasa nodded his head, "Follow me." He said as he moved to a door over the other side of the room. He slid his card in there and the door opened, showing a hanger with various ships and people.
Aasa walked into the room and we followed him. The only sound that was coming from out little group was the 'click click click' of Lyrisa's heels.
The were was a ship to the side that didn't have as many people near it. Actually, as far as I could see… there was no one near it.
"That one." I muttered to Aasa.
He followed my gaze to the ship and then nodded his head, "Yes. It's a bit beat up, but still runs." He said in agreement.
We started walking towards the ship, occasionally glancing around. Well, Lyrisa wasn't. Her head was just going from place to place.
"Lyrisa, you want to know something I've learned?" I quietly said to her, making her look at me, "I learned that if you look suspicious, more often than not, people will notice. If you look like you know what you are doing, then they don't."
"Oh… ok." The girl said with a nod of her head, before glancing around again.
I rolled my eyes as we made it to the ship. It looked somewhat dented in places, but that didn't matter. It had a dark red paint job and faded black Aurebesh letters on the side.
I glanced at Aasa, "OK, we have the ship, but now we need to open the hanger doors." I told him, glancing at the shut steel doors.
He nodded his head, "Yes. I can do that." He told me, holding his card up.
I shook my head, "Nuh-uh, buckaroo. I may not know everything about your lot, nothing really, but even I can swing a guess that when you open that door up, people are gonna realize something is wrong." I told him.
"Yes…" he admitted, "But it's the only way."
I darted my hand out and grabbed him card in a flash, "Hey!" he exclaimed at me.
"Hear me out. I open the door up, you get the ship ready." I glanced at Ayden before looking back at Aasa, "We… uh… aren't the best pilots in the galaxy."
Aasa sighed before nodding his head, "I believe that. Don't ask me why, I just do. Fine. I'll get the ship ready to go, and you open the doors up." He agreed, "Just watch yourself. They'll defiantly know that something is wrong when you open the doors up."
"Reese."
I glanced at Ayden, "Yeah?"
"Be careful, ok?"
I grinned at him, "I took on Kreia's flying lightsabers when I was 14. I can do this." I told him.
Ayden nodded his head, "I know," he replied, "Just still, be careful."
I put my pointer and index fingers together and brought them to my forehead and then gave him a quite salute before moving away from the ship. Aasa had opened the door up and entered (he didn't lower the boarding ramp, so you had to climb up on a box to get inside) quickly followed by Lyrisa and then Ayden.
I moved away from the ship slightly as I looked to the hanger doors. There were two people over there talking, by the controls, and plenty of people by a ship that was off to the side of the door.
I started to walk to the door, my head held high up, so I didn't look too much like I was doing something wrong.
But it was hard to fight the instinct to jump away when someone passed me. I mean, I didn't, thankfully, that would be a really huge give away.
I got close enough to the door controls to see them up close. There was the slot that Aasa's card had to go into. But those two people were right next to it.
Even if I looked like I was the leader of this place, heck, even if I acted like the Chancellor (or in this case, the Sith Emperor) they might still notice that I don't belong and realize that I should NOT be opening the doors.
That left one answer. I held the car out on my palm and I watched as it floated up in the air. It slowly made its way over to the slot and then slid in. I moved my hand down making the card slide down.
There was a beep noise, making the two people looked around, making me duck down asap.
"What was that?"
"I don't know."
Then they resumed to their regular conversation. I let out a quiet breath of relief. I poked my head up again, but then I fell backwards. There was someone standing there with a glare on his face, looking at me.
Morso.
"Just what are you doing?" he snapped at me as I slowly stood up.
"Um…" I let out as I glanced around. The hanger doors were opening up, slowly, "Just going for a stroll?" I tried.
Morso narrowed his eyes at me, "A stroll, Skywalker? Out the hanger doors?" He asked.
"Yah."
Morso turned to face the slider and the card in the slot. "Where did you get this?" he asked me as he reached out to get it.
Oh crab brûlée. If he got that card, he'd know that Aasa gave it to me, and that would get him in trouble. Granted, Morsel would know that once he sees the security footage and notices that Aasa isn't here.
But time is great if you have a lot of it.
I snapped my hand out and the card that Morso had just plucked out of the reading thing went flying to my hand. His eyes widened in surprised before narrowing them again, "Jedi." He hissed.
"Yuppers!" I grinned at him before I took off running.
The doors were open. Not fully open but open enough. Aasa must've gotten the ship ready, because I heard the hum of a ship engine. I glanced around and sure enough, the ship was on. The door was open too, ready for me.
I put on more speed in my running and made it to the ship. I jumped up on the box and then in through the door, glancing back to see that Morsel was following.
I got the feeling that he didn't like me.
I pushed my hand out, forcing the box away from the door and into a pile of other boxes, then I slammed my hand on the panel next to the door, shutting it.
I ran down a corridor into a small room as I felt the ship start to move. I continued to move to where I could sense the others being. I ran into the cockpit and saw Aasa was in the pilots seat and Ayden was in the co-pilot seat. Lyrisa was standing behind Ayden.
"Go!" I exclaimed at them, "Morsel caught me opening the door up. Hurry before he shuts it!"
Aasa nodded his head and pressed a few things on the ship. The ship started moving some more and out of the view screen, I saw that we were getting closer to the door.
Morso was back at the panel, sliding his own card in, making the door stop. It was wide enough for our ship to get through, but he was going to shut it. I knew it.
I glanced at Ayden and then flicked my eyes at Morso. He nodded his head, getting my message. I shut my eyes and let out a breath, letting go of the block I had put up before, all of the block.
Then I pushed my hands out, and I could tell that Ayden had too. When I opened my eyes I saw that Morso was in the side of a crate, a fair few feet away from the door.
That last I saw of Captain Morsel, was he stood up and was glaring at the ship as we flew out of the hanger.
I flopped down on a chair that was behind Aasa.
"That was a close one." I sighed.
"We're not out of it yet." Aasa spoke, making me groan.
"You had to say that, didn't you? You just couldn't let me have a nice little day dream?"
Aasa didn't say anything.
"Why are we not out of it yet?" Ayden asked him.
"This ship is in the Darian Army data bases. Whenever we land on a planet and check it, it'll let the army know. We have to change the ID of the ship."
I nodded my head, "OK. Fair enough. We could find someone to do that on Coruscant." I suggested.
Why Coruscant, you ask? The Jedi Temple. I'm positive that Bastilia went there with the other Jedi to rebuild the Jedi order. Bastilia will have answers that I want.
"The closest planet is Dataarn. We should do it there." Aasa told me, "We have to do it as soon as possible and then we can head to your capital."
I let out a groan, but nodded my head, "Fine." I grumbled as I crossed my arms.
I glanced at my clothes, my pinkish/purple top and then at Lyrisa's bright dress.
"Perhaps some clothing too." I suggested, "We aren't exactly wearing the most inconspicuous outfits."
Aasa nodded his head as he pressed some more buttons and started flying the ship towards the planet that was just near us.
Hope you liked this chapter! They're finally off that moon. :D
