Chapter 9: mandalore and the mysterious holocron

As their ship landed obi-wan picked up nox "ready?" obi-wan asks, "ready" nox replies "remember act like a normal child" obi-wan says as the ramp dropped and obi-wan walked out greeted by the mandalorian guard and duchess satine herself, "AH obi-wan kenobi a pleasure to s-" the duchess cut herself off stunned by the fact obi-wan was carrying a small figured wearing black robes with 2 lightsabers hanging from his belt, "oh obi-wan i didn't suspect you to be the fatherly kind" satine said a hint of amusement in her voice, "well it kind of has been a hectic couple of days" obi-wan says walking over to satine nox feeling awkward buried his face in kenobi's chest, satine's heart practically fluttered in her chest asking "is this little cutie your padawan?", "no he is my adoptive son" obi-wan replies nox blushing bright red as satine walks close up to them both and overhears what she says in kenobi's ear, "well i guess i would make a good mommy for him" nox was shocked 'jedi were not supposed to have attachments' "yea right and i am a nerf herders uncle" nox thought, satine ruffled nox's hair saying "what's your name little guy?" nox looks up from kenobi's chest "nox" he said nervous he had never really met a duchess before but he wanted to slap himself for feeling nervous, "well kenobi i hope you are not planning on taking this little guy with you to get your artifact" satine says giving kenobi a look only a wife could give, "well i was going to find a babysitter but couldn't find one so by any chance could i leave him with you?" obi-wan asks, "i guess i can watch him" satine says taking nox from kenobi's arms nox making grabby hands towards obi-wan "no go daddy" nox whined well obi-wan asked him to act normal, "aw it's ok noxy daddy will be back" obi-wan said rubbing nox's back and going with the mandalorian guard, "so let's see what would you like to do?" satine asks nox only for nox to shrug and obi-wan rushing back to them handing satine the bag "almost forgot to hand you this it contains all his care stuff for when he is out and about" obi-wan says going back to the guards, "well your daddy is more prepared than usual" satine says and notices nox smiling as satine heads towards her throne room guards following and nox in her arms.

Obi-wan followed the guards onto a dropship taking him out of the domed capital city of the mandalorians "so i was told it was a sith holocron am i right?" obi-wan asked the archeologist that accompanied them, "i am no expert on force user artifacts but i am sure it's a sith holocron" the archeologist said, "great a idiot" obi-wan thought as the ship sped towards their destination.

Meanwhile with nox.

Satine sat nox by her throne on a pillow giving nox a couple of toy starfighters for him to play with, "ok that should sort you out at least for now" satine said, nox looked at the toys in front of him taking one that looked like a tri-droid and looked at it curiously, satine looked concerned and asks "have you ever had toys before?", nox looks at her and nods no, satine asks "how long has daddy had you?" "ummm 3 days" nox replies, satine felt pure relief knowing that obi-wan wasn't neglecting the poor boy, "If you want you can keep those" satine says, nox feels a flutter inside of him he never had any toys even when he was a child back before he was a sith mainly because he was a slave, "rewy?" nox says then blushing from the lisp, satine gave nox both the tri-droid and the arc-170 toys saying "of course, also can you keep a secret?" satine asks, "sure" nox says and satine says to nox "me and your father have a 'special relationship' who knows if he leaves the jedi i could be your mommy", nox looks shocked did she really love obi-wan even after he just said he has a son, "can i tell you something?" nox asks, "sure" satine says slightly stunned at the child's clear sentence, "i was once the dark lord darth nox i know it seems stupid but i really am nox i can prove it" nox says, satine looks amused by this and giggles "of course obi-wan would adopt a sith lord" satine finally manage, "i am not joking" nox says making the tri-droid and arc-170 fly around the room using the force, satines jaw dropped "ok ok i've seen enough" satine states as nox landed the two toys by his side, "could you not tell daddy i told you that he told me just to act normal i don't know why he is so concerned i can protect myself even if my sabers have no power cells" nox said pouting, "i noticed but he is concerned for your safety" satine says bluntly wondering what is happening.

Back to kenobi.

"We are reaching the drop zone sir" a guard said, "good let's hope i can get this done quickly" obi-wan says as him and the guards with the archeologist get off the dropship and approach the dig site, "where is the holocron located?" obi-wan asks one of the archeologists, "ah master kenobi well the holocron is stuck in the main chamber inside the doors are really heavy so we had to blast through one of the walls to get inside this temple, it does not look like a sith or a jedi temple" the archeologists says, "neither sith or jedi?" obi-wan asks as he is escorted through the temple to what he could assume was a library, "so it's in here?" obi-wan asks, "well that is what our scanners can detect" the archeologist says "by the looks of it, it needs a force user to open it" he added, "alright then" obi-wan says noticing two statues one with the symbol of the light side the other the symbol of the dark side, channeling the light side of the force kenobi lifted the statue with the light symbol then attempted to lift the dark one struggling he let both drop, "i can't lift both" obi-wan says panting then notices writing on the floor between the two statues, "hey these look like instructions" obi-wan says pointing to the writing, "what instructions where?" the archeologists ask, "can't you see?" obi-wan asks pointing to where he can see the writing glowing in blue, "it must be force script" one of the archeologists says, "of course force script only a jedi or a sith can read force script" another says, "well il read it" kenobi says kneeling down to read it, "with brightest day and darkest night only two shall step in this site" obi-wan read the script out loud then realised he needed someone who can wield the dark side to help him open the door, kenobi got up and ran for a dropship.

Back to nox.

"I never really had a good life before the sith" nox says as satine picks up nox sitting the sith on her knee, "really?" satine asks "yea i was a survivor of what a jedi did to my village" nox continues, "what did this jedi do?" satine asks "he butchered my village almost killed my baby sister but instead he critically injured me" nox says on the verge of tears, satine notices the tear forming in the boy's eyes and wiping them away "hey don't cry" satine says attempting to sooth the sith by resting him against her and rubbing his back, "i did get my revenge" nox said satine looking more concerned with the boy's mental well being, duchess satine herself was a pacifist and seeing a small boy who just proved he was an ancient sith say he was almost killed by a rogue jedi practically ripped her heart in two now she really wants obi-wan to leave the jedi order, "at least you saved your sister" satine says, "no i didn't right out of my arms the jedi's army of light came to my injured frame and wretched her from my dieing frame" nox says bluntly, satine felt her heart wretch again "why would they take her?" satine asks, "to force her to be a jedi" nox says "i hope she outlived the war" nox adds, "if she is related to you then most likely" satine says, "according to daddy the jedi have changed" nox says, "he is on the side of your enemies but you still call him daddy" satine says curious, "my master taught me there is no such thing as an absolute when it comes to people" nox says, "i do wish to learn from both jedi and sith learn both sides like the je'daii" nox adds, "how about you focus on being a kid" satine says rubbing nox's back smiling when nox practically melts into her embrace.

Kenobi bursts into the throne room and walks up to nox and satine, "oh good you two are here" obi-wan says, "daddy" nox says making a grabby gesture to kenobi which made the jedi master smile, obi-wan picked up nox and says "well looks like we are both going to get that holocron together that temple isn't jedi or sith", nox looks puzzled "then it must be je'daii", "don't think i've have excused you two yet" satine says getting up and slinging the bag obi-wan gave her onto her back, "guess this can be a family outing" satine says her head guard stepping forward "miss do you think that is a good idea?" he asks, "i will be fine i have a jedi and a sith to protect me" satine says charismatically. On the way to the dig site nox felt something wet fill his diaper then he blushed and felt like he wanted to throw himself out of his own ship as they were using it to get to the dig site, nox began to whimper a little "what's wrong noxy?" obi-wan asks, nox blushes and simply whimpers out "wet" which made both satine and obi-wan aw at how cute that was which made the sith lord blush even more, obi-wan went to the ship's sleeping quarters and changes nox then goes back to the cockpit, "when are we going to arrive?" obi-wan says "we are almost there" 2V says as they begin to land at the site, "well we are here" satine says getting up and checking the sites on her stun pistol and looks through the box of stuff obi-wan brought for nox, "what are you looking for?" nox asks then groans as satine bring out a baby carrier and she puts it on herself then puts nox in the pouch making sure he faced away from her, "there now daddy can use his saber properly" satine teases seeing that nox was blushing as he gripped both his sabers against his chest, "you boys and your toys" satine says rolling her eyes as the trio began to exit the ship, "oh can i come?" 2V asks getting his blaster pistol, "come on 2V" nox says "he can be quite useful he is like a astromech and a protocol droid rolled into one" nox adds, "nice" both obi-wan and satine says then all 4 go into the temple and make their way to the door again, "well this is the door now nox focus on that dark statue i will focus on the light" obi-wan says both concentrating on their respective statutes, both statutes were raised until they heard a click and a clunk both nox and kenobi let go of the statues as the door started to open, "this is it" one of the archeologists said then noticed nox, "hey who brought their baby" the archeologist asks then nox begins to force choke him, "NOX!" both obi-wan and satine scolds and nox let's go of the man with a whimper, "nox do not abuse your powers with the force" obi-wan says, "you can forget about that toy" obi-wan says, "THAT IS NO FAIR!" nox exclaims, "now just hold on both of you" satine says, "we can sort this out later but for now let's go in get this holocron then sort out nox's punishment" she adds.

The four enter what was a je'daii library, "why is there a je'daii temple on mandalore?" obi-wan asks, "a backup of sorts?" nox says looking at all the actual books on the shelves wanting to read them all, the party went to the centre of the library to a holocron sitting on a pedestal, "guess this is the holocron" obi-wan says, "that isn't a sith holocron" nox says "sith holocrons are red that one is purple" nox states, obi-wan takes the holocron then the temple starts to shake, "RUN!" 2V shouts and all four begin to run out of the temple only managing to escape by a inch.

All four began to laugh from their near death experience, "if this is a family outing i am going to like this family" nox says laughing, obi-wan and satine looks at each other "you know satine if you say so il leave the jedi order but i need to bring the clone wars to an end and quickly", "ben my dear i do want you by my side i want to ask you something but you don't have to leave the jedi to have this" satine says and gets down on one knee nox looking confused as satine produce a ring with a black stone on it, "obi-wan kenobi since you first saved me from those mercenaries" satine says, "wait what is going on" nox says and 2V picks up nox, obi-wan pull satine to her feet "i know what you are going to ask and the answer is yes" and obi-wan kisses satine, nox makes a vomiting gesture and chuckles, "so i guess i am getting a mummy then" nox says.
