"So…"
Barriss was eager to break the tension between the three of them, ever since leaving the station no one had said a word to one another. Ahsoka kept staring at Cody finding it hard to grasp that he looked like an old man, Cody kept staring at the two women's figures much to the annoyance of the pair. Barriss kept looking between the two thinking of anything to say really.
"So?" repeated Ahsoka and Cody.
"Why was Jim so angry?"
That was the first thing that sprang to the front of her mind, Barriss mentally kicked herself for asking such a idiotic question.
"He was a Jedi once, raised at the temple. He was left un-chosen to become an padawan for years, when the Jedi council were ready to move him to one of the auxiliary corps when he would turn 13. Windu came along and took him as his padawan, a few months in he pair went on their first mission together. Things didn't go to plan, all I know is something went horribly wrong and a lot of people died. When that returned to the temple Jim was stripped of his force and lightsaber and banished from the Jedi order. That is why he hates Windu so much."
"Then why did he help fight with against the empire?"
"He had no choice the emperor believed him to be a threat due his past and sent a squad to kill him."
"Oh." Was the pairs only response.
An awkward silence followed once more in the room as the trio thought of what to say, after all these years of being apart they really should have thought at least several things to talk about.
"So, how did your training go?"
"Very well thank you. We are now Jedi knights."
"Congratulations."
And guess what? Yes another awkward silence followed. The trio fell back into a pattern of Ahsoka staring at Cody's face and he staring at her tits while Barriss looked between the two fearing what might happen.
"Stop staring at my breast!" screamed Ahsoka all of a sudden.
"Well stop staring at me like I got the plague or something."
"Its not my fault you look ancient."
"Well its not my fault you got huge tits, im a man do the math."
"What happened to Waxer and Boil?" asked Barriss hastily as Ahsoka reached for her lightsaber and Cody his pistol.
Thankfully that question made each other forget about fighting one as Cody started to tell the story of what happened to the pair.
"Waxer and Boil felt that there was more to life than just fighting all the time, on Ryloth a girl named Numa made the pair feel they had a purpose in life. Last I hear they have a nice set up somewhere near the capitol."
"When was the last time you heard from them?"
"Two years ago, Windu contacted them wanting their help in the fight to come. They rejected flat out, saying they had a responsibility to Numa."
"Sorry but whom is Numa?" asked Barriss.
"Obi Wan told me about her." Replied Ahsoka, "Waxer and Boil scouted ahead and met a twi'lek girl around 8 called Numa, she helped them escape from some beasts. The pair defended her and she looked up to them."
"That's right," agreed Cody.
"How come Rex isn't with you?" asked Barriss after a long silence.
"As I said before he was sent to help the queen of Naboo by Windu as she was helping refugee Jedi. He is not with me because we had a fight before we were assigned posts."
"What did you fight about?"
"I don't want to talk about it."
Beep beep beep
Saved by the bell, Barriss was sure another long silence would fill the journey. The end of the hyper space travel made the trio run to the cockpit, Cody being rather slower now a days was last in. The trio held their breaths as they saw what was before them. Dozens of capitol ships filled the space around the planet, more smaller ships flew to the larger ships, from the looks of things the slave trade was beginning once more.
"Unidentified ship, state your name and business."
The trio looked between one another thinking of what to say.
"Unidentified ship, answer or be destroyed."
"This is the Ebon Hawk," replied Cody, thinking on his feet. "We have bought some slaves and we are here to collect."
"Welcome Ebon Hawk, report to sector 4.5, landing pad 5. I wish you a pleasant stay on this cease pool of a planet."
"Thank you."
The comm went dead once more as the Jedi looked at Cody with raised eyebrows.
"Oh come on, like you could have thought of something better."
Barriss rolled her eyes and continued to fly through the large number of battle ships and cruisers floating round the atmosphere all pointing large cannons at the planet's surface, more and more star fighters flew round protecting the larger ships and the transports coming and going from the planet.
"So where does Waxer and Boil live?"
"Near the capitol in one the villages… oh my."
The Ebon Hawk passed through the clouds and the sight was unbelievable, the capitol was in complete ruins, a smoking heap to be more accurate. The villages round them had been turned into smoking creators. Several capitol ships had landed on the ground as dozens of bombers were busy destroying several villages.
"Well things just a lot harder, again."
"This time we are better prepared."
"True."
"Im dead," moaned Cody.
