Force-d***it people! I lied, I lied in a big way and thanks to Anisoka280 (guest) I realized this story could not end at chapter 8. Thank you, Anisoka280 and all my followers for not giving up on this story. I hope this chapter can make you forgive me, if any of you had hard feelings.

Chapter 9: Back on the dustball

Karis POV

I get out of the shuttle and immediately sell it to some jawas; if the Jedi were tracking my ship all they'd find were jawas. I smile at my own cleverness and head to the Mos Eisley cantina, you could always find something of interest or excitement at that particular cantina. I remember what my dad had told me about Mos Eisley the first time we were going there to find some supplies: Mos Eisley Spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious. That's what he had told me and I decided to heed his warning.

I enter the cantina and go directly to a table near a couple bounty hunters. I sit down and listen to their rambling over various credit rewards for various people.
"Bah, pays too little"
"Out of my skill range"
"Too *hrrr* sssstrong" that voice catches my ear. My mother had been a bounty hunter and had told me about a trandoshan she worked with called Bossk. I straighten and look at the trandoshan, yep it was him. I think carefully; I was going it on my own but maybe hanging out with a couple bounty hunters, is what I needed to get on my feet. Granted, I had quite a few credits from the shuttle I had sold but money runs out.

Suddenly a quarren comes over.
"You're sitting in my spot" He says, I look around at the table and chair I was sitting on, as though looking for something. I stop and look at him.
"I don't see your name written on this table or chair, so if I were you I'd find a new place to sit" I say calmly.
"I'm a wanted man in twelve systems, child" he brags, clearly trying to intimidate me.
"I'll be careful" I say unimpressed. He grabs my shoulder and jerks me to face him.
"You'll be dead!" He yells and shoves me to the floor. I spring up whip out my one of my lightsabers and cut off one of his arms. He howls in pain and takes off running. The entire cantina looks at me.
"He won't be shoving anyone with that arm" I say and kick at the arm on the floor, before sitting down again. I hear a few chuckles and everyone goes back to doing whatever they were doing before that little "incident".

I sense another figure approaching me; its Force signature was strong and familiar. It sits across from me. I study who sat in front of me it was clearly humanoid and wore thin grey armor that reminded of pictures my parents had shown me of knights way back in time. The helmet was similar to a senate guard's but it was more slender. So this humanoid was female, good to know.

"What's your name?" I ask her.
"They call me the Gray Knight" She says her voice is familiar but changed slightly by the helmet. I study her slender frame, but what stops me in my tracks and makes me realize who this is; are the two curved lightsabers hanging from her belt. My eyes widen.

"Mom?!" I exclaim and despite the helmet on her head, I can tell she's smiling.

Ventress is back! Mwah ha ha ha! Credit for Ventress's new armor/outfit goes to Just a Crazy-Man, he came up with the awesome idea. Will have another chapter up soon.
