Ahsoka gaped up at the towering woman as May stepped forwards. "My name is May Fury, I have released you Mistress, but, wasn't it meant to be your Master that was trapped inside of the Holocron? She asked slightly bewildered. Opal smiled before cursing lightning apon May, who screamed in agoney. "You question me?" Opal bellowed.
Anakin, Obi Wan and Ael ignited their lightsabers and held them up defensivly, Ahsoka took her place beside Anakin and used the force to retrieve her lightsaber, the one which May had taken. She grimly ignited it also and held it up, Opal stopped hurting May and glared down at her in obvious disdain. May wimpered and curled up on the floor, scared out of her whits. "Well do you?" Opal asked her again, this time a little more quieter, but still angry and cold. "No I'm sorry, please I released you!" May stammered, gathering the corage to look up at the Sith.
Opal's face became dark and shadowed. "You, did not release me..." She stated, then looked over at Ahsoka. "She, did" Anakin moved protectivly in front of Ahsoka and his hand turned into a fist, tensing as if ready for a fight.
Opal noticed this and explored the different retorts to say, she decided on one. "You really think you can beat a sith, boy? When you were learning to walk I was killing millions of Jedi" She taunted, her eyes filled with power and the hunger to kill. Anakin's face darkened.
Ael and Obi Wan shifted behind them, causing Opal to glare at them, her gaze fell on Ael, who made her top lip go upwards in a snarl and narrowed her eyes. "Ah, I remember your sister...Talon was it, she was a powerful ally, you should not have killed her" She stated slightly irritated with Ael. But Ael really didn't carre less what she thought, Talon was a liability to peace in the galaxy, she had to be stopped and there was no way to do it but to kill her.
Opal turned to May who was curled up in a ball on the floor, tears streaked her face as she whimpered. "Please don't kill me I wanted to help you take over I really did I-"
"Oh shut up you snivling idiot, seriously. My Master has wait long enought I think..." Opal turned to Ahsoka once again. " I do hope we don't meet again little Torgruta, for your sake" With that, Opal disapeared into thin air, leaivng Anakin, Ahsoka, Ael and Obi Wan looking very confused.
They all turned when May got up off of the floor, anger radiated off of her in waves. "You!" She accused pointing at Ahsoka. Anakin stepped forward ready to defend his brave padawan. "This is all your fault!" May screamed at her. Ahsoka tugged at Anakin sleeve, pulling him back slightly. "Let me deal with this" She commanded softly. Anakin grunted and reluctantly took a step back.
Ahsoka stepped fowards with her lightsaber held low, so it was not to threaten the already scarred girl. "May" She soothed softly, holding out her other hand. May slapped it away, only for Ahsoka to hold it out again. "Listen to me, we can help you May, but you need to help us first, by coming quietly and doing what is asked of you"
May spat at her and took a step back before lunging at Ahsoka. "You really think that I would do anything that you tell me too Torgruta!" She screamed, while trying to land a punch on Ahsoka's face and Lekku. Ahsoka's lightsaber was knocked out of her hand when May had lunged at her.
Anakin, as soon as May had lunged at his Padawan made to stop her, but Obi Wan's voice had stopped him. ""Anakin, let Ahsoka handle this one"" He had told him calmly, out of the corner of his eye, Anakin could see Ael itching to join in and kick May's behind, but Obi Wan had a firm grip of her wrist.
May clawed at Ahsoka's hands and arms, but Ahsoka dodged backwards and kicked May in the knee, May fell onto her other knee and hissed in apin, narrowing her eyes at Ahsoka. She lunged again and this time managed to score a punch to one of Ahsoka's Lekku, making the young Jedi's world fuzzy, but straight after, Ael had wrenched out of Obi Wan grip and wrapped her arm around May's neck, the girl's hands flapped wildly at stop Ael from choking her, but Ael was too strong and quickly in a fluiant motion, snapped May's neck, killing her instantly.
Obi Wan rolled his eyes at how brutally she had done it, but was also relieved that Ahsoka wes okay. Anakin was too busy steadying his padawan to care. Ahsoka staggered around as if she was drunk, her Lekku were highly sensitive and if any permanant damage was to occur to them, she could be out of the action for months.
Thankfully, when Ael checked her bruised Lekku, they weren't damaged badly, just a little bump that would pass after an hour or so. They piled into the Twilight and Obi Wan put May's body in a big enough compartment to show to the council as prove of her death. With Ahsoka laid out on the small bed resting, Anakin and Ael piloted the Twilight out of the Hoth system and Obi Wan took over Anakin's place when they had entered Hyperspace. Anakin had gone to care for his padawan.
Ael looked over at them through the open door and sighed inwardly. Quite frankly she was very glad that this little adventure was over. But a tiny part of her was quite sad, it had been good while it lasted, the council would never let her stay at the Temple, and she'd never see Obi Wan again. That was that, what she wanted to know was how Opal has known her sister and what Opal was planning to do know she was let out of her prison. She had mentioned her Master and about him waiting long enough for something. Ael shook the though out of her head, what she really needed right now was a good nights sleep and maybe a good night kiss from Obi Wan.
Anakin looked down onto his Padawan with obvious concern, Ahsoka was always the one to take risks and put herself in danger, but this time she never really had a choice, and Anakin vowed to himself that he wouldn't get angry at her for scaring him yet again with another life endangering situation.
Ahsoka's eyes fluttered open as Anakin took her hand. "Hey there Snips" He greeted gently. Ahsoka managed a lopsided smile as she squeezed his hand a little. "Hello Skyguy" She replied, as Anakin took a deep breath. "How are you holding out?" He asked.
"My right Lekku is aching a bit but apart from that I'm doing quite fine" She answered slowly sitting up and looking Anakin full in the face, she noticed the lines of worry clinging to his forhead and brow. He had been like that ever since Jayla had left from Naboo almost a year ago.
Obi Wan stood in the doorway hatin to break up the Maser and Padawan Anakin and Ahsoka were having but they had arrived in Corusant and they had to leave. He cleared his throat gaining their attention. "We're here" He stated, Anakin and Ahsoka nodded and got ready to go.
Back by the controls, Ael landed the ship on the platform right outside the Jedi Temple, she noticed Yoda and Mace Windu stood outside to greet them. And to get rid of her, thought Ael bitterly. Movement behind her made Ale turn and see the three Jedi walking towards her. "You ready to go?" Asked Obi Wan, standing next to Anaki who was supporting Ahsoka, even though she said she didn't need help.
Ael smiled and nodded before following them out onto the platform. Yoda hobbled up to them with Mace Windu close behind. "Done well you have" Stated Yoda, smiling at each of them in turn. "But know not the intentions of the new Sith and her Master we do, that, we must find out" He said determindly slamming down his walking stick at the last word, making a little bang on the platform ground.
They all nodded as Mace Windu turned to Ael with a pround expression on his face. "Ael Veda, if you wish to stay at the Jedi Temple, you can it is a dept we owe you for helping us track down Padawan Tano and Padawan Fury" He stated.
Ael looked at him in disbelief, Ahsoka and Obi Wan gave her a encouraging look although Anakin just shrugged, and then help Ahsoka to the Med bay where her Lekku were going to be teated. Ael smiled for the first time in her long years properly. No sarcastic hint no darkness about it, well until Anakin called over his shoulder. "Good you can babysit Jayla when she get's back!" Ael turned to him glaring. "Death will follow you quickly" She muttered darkly, before turing to Obi Wan. "Could I talk to you for a few minutes?" She asked him. He nodded before following Ael to her room.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" He asked raising an eyebrow. Ael pu her arms around his neck. "Well...when I said talking, I mean a different type of talking" She explained suductivly. Obi Wan;s face grew red as Ael pulled him into her room shutting and locking the door securly behind him.
