Chapter 1
The Changing of Fates
Author Note
Sorry but I don't know what was going on, I was trying to see the number on how many views I was getting for this story but when I tried looking into it, it gave me some kind of error message and would not show it to me, then I tried looking into the star wars stories list that is public to everyone and my story was not coming out so I had no choice but to just delete the old one and restart again sorry for that but I hope you all like this new rework that I did for chapter one.
And to my reviewer, King Marcus I hope you come back to read this story again and tell me what you think as for my followers and favs that were attached to the old story I also hope you come back as well.
As for the rating T, I decided to change it so that more people would read the story as I plan to just not have any lemon scenes at all, though I may do a side story where I put all the lemons for this one, that depends if you guys would like that as for when I try to write lemons I think my writing is not really good but tell me what you all think okay.
1 month before the battle of Endor - Ryloth
Ryloth, a mostly deserts planet it did have some forests, plains, mountains, and Icecaps (if you lived on the night side of the planet) but other than some other terrains is was mostly deserts landscapes as the far as the eyes can see, Ryloths people the Twi'leks had lived here for thousands of generations on there tidally locked planet and had adapted to there world but some 10,000 years ago there were discovered by old republic explores ship that had made the jump into there system looking to explore new routes out in the galaxy, they look around finding nothing of real value until they found this little world, 2nd orbital position to its sun, they had discovered on this world the Twi'lek.
From there, more ships would come and see this new planet that the explorers had discovered, at that time Ryloth had only barely begun their own technology breakthroughs, and so when these offworlders had came they brought with them technologies that amaze the natives, the Twi'leks would try and trade there own wares to the offworlders but nothing they brought would be enough for the tech they sought all except one thing.
There females, it was discovered that most offworlders had taken a liking to the Twi'lek females, with their beauty and striking appearance and the fact that some humanoid species could also interbreed with them specified humans, this had to give the natives a bargaining chip. If they sell off their women to the offworlders they could get in return credits or technology that would help better their lives, the natives also saw this as a way for their children to have a better life as Ryloth was not a forgiving world as most would have to watch out for the seasonal heat storms or the planets fauna like the Daoshim, Gutkurr, and the Lylek, so if they could somehow give their children away off-world and make there lives better they would as this was there only options.
And so this led to most families selling off their children to offworlders, and in return, Ryloth prospered like it never before as they were able to have better living, medicines, they no longer had to worry about heat storms or carnivores that stalk their world, The planetary government which was ruled by the 5 most powerful clans that live on the five biggest cities around the world did nothing as they saw this as a necessary evil, and so this would lead to the Twi'lek being spread all around the galaxy to the heart of the core of the republic all the way to the ends of the outer rim.
This was not without its problems as some Twi'leks would take up the professions of slavers as they would raid villages and take their people to be sold off as slaves and sometimes they would use advanced weapons to do so, but with the advance of their technology it also came to there knowing that their world was almost entirely covered in a psychoactive substance, it would be later be known as Ryll spice, unique only to Ryloth and if one would mix it with an another known spice like glitter stem it would produce a whole new drug known as glitter ryll.
And so with their new findings the natives that would and the offworlders that could afford it began mining Ryloth for this new spice, The five clans did nothing to stop or regulate this as most saw this as a way for their people to become rich but the Hutts had other plans, with their endless credits and countless connections they began to take over this small world and for the next millennia would keep the Twi'lek enslaved as they turn Ryloth a drug production site and its people into slaves.
The people of Ryloth knew how to live through hard times as with the seasonal heat storms that would ravage their world an ancient Twi'lek saying came to mind, "You can't defeat a storm, you must ride the storm," and so the people of Ryloth rode the Hutt storm until thousands of years later they would finally become free after defecting there Hutt overlords, but this would not end the slaver of there people as when the Hutts left the clans went back to there ways, with no clan thinking of new ways to bring in credits it was decided to allow the mining of Ryll and slaver to continue, of course, thousands of years later there would be people who would try and speak out about this some even running for senators of there world but this was only to get votes as when they would get in they would later say that they could do nothing or try and ignore it and leave it for the next senator causing them to live thought another storm.
But for one human male that goes by the name Dante who was currently crouch behind some rocks overlooking a compound through the scope of his E-11s sniper rifle, it was just another location a mission that he was hired for, it matters little that the world he was on had such a tragic history, for him it was always the mission as his mind was currently focused on the guards that patrol around the compound, his contact had told him he would find his target here and for the several times he had used this contact she had never failed so he makes his way to this position that overlooks most of the compound.
The compound itself was not fairly large, it had about one larger building in the center with several smaller ones around it, it also had a landing pad but at the moment it was empty, but it did have several speeder bikes that were left ideal, he was going to have to take care of them if he wanted to make a clean getaway, it had walls covering most of it but he could see that compound was old as he saw several sides of the wall were crumbling down, weather away by Ryloth harsh seasonal storms, it also sported two-guard towards with about 1 lookout on each one, he needed to get into the large building in the center, the only problem was the guards.
He counted 12 guards, and from his vantage point he could easily take them down with one shot to the head but the downside of his E-11s was that the fact that it could only fire 6 shots from each clip before overheating, of course, he had a plan for that so that even if he could not get all of them before he could put in a fresh clip they would never see him even with his rifle red blaster bolts would fly and the shining of there floodlights lit up his locaotin as he was also currently wearing his Model 1010 Photo-reactive Personal Armor, the armor alone coast him 80,000 credits with a little modification that he added himself so that he could survive in harsh conditions along with blaster shots, as the armor also sported a shield gauntlet that protected him from blaster fire, it also had a HUD built into the helmet that would mark his targets even if they were meters away from him thanks to the built-in sensors that he had installed, it also allowed him to see in the dark, along with a link-up with his E-11s that gave him better accuracy, he also installed albeit costly a remote-controlled slave circuit that allowed him to call either of his three vehchiles so that in the case he needed a quick get away he would only need to call one of them and they would come.
And at the moment that would-be his LAVr QH-7 Chariot he called the Swiftrunner, he had gotten his hands on the chariot thanks to an old friend, he pointed him towards a resent battle between the rebels and the Galatic Empire and had asked him to go to take clam to the salvage before any others or before the empire could come back and get there equipment as he was only two systems away and in return, he would be allowed to claim a small share of what they found and it so happened he found that Chariot and in it his E-11s that was held in his grip along with several blaster carbines and other weapons and ammo but the second best thing he found was several suits of stormtroopers armors that he sold to the Rebels as they were always looking for trooper armor so that they could use.
The first was one DC-19 "Stealth" carbine, that he was currently taking from his back as he left his E-11s on the ground, the carbine only weighed 5 kilograms, a little heavy but nothing he needed to worry about as he left his spot that overlooks the compound and made his way down, his Photo-reactive armor already active as it made him almost completely invisible to all around him as though he was just part of the scenery, the trek towards the buildings was not long, only taking him a few minutes he reaches the first building he made sure that the coast was clear as even though his armor made his invisible to the naked eye to most species he still didn't want to take the chance that they had a species that could pick him out.
So with the making sure that the area was clear of guards for the moment, he made his way around the building keeping close to the stone walls as he did he also place several charges he plan to use those as his turmp along with the speeders, as he also silently made his way towards where the speeder bike was left, he then began placeing charges on them as he alsot was going to need away make sure he was not followed, once that was done he then made his way towards the center of the compound he stop as he spotted two guards coming around another building, going still as he watches them come closer he notices that they were Nikto, while their species was suited to the desert climate it did not help them see him, so letting out a breath of relief he waited for them to passed and when they were out of sight he went to the center building, already knowing that going through the front door was a bad idea as if the off chance that someone was there guarding inside they would quickly notice that something was off and not wanting the whole compound on him just yet, least not before he could get to his target.
His target, a clan chieftain youngest daughter, from what he was told as he didn't know very much Ryl but he knew enought make sure that he got the right informatoin from the chieftain that goes by the name of Nilim Tarkona of the clan Tarkona which is a large 800 members, a strong clan by most other clans that were around this area thoguth its a wonder why he didn't just have his men attack but it didn't matter to him as he was going to get paid and while not at big as the five powerful clans but enough that if he wanted to be heard he would be, he had told him that a pale skin Twi'lek male had come several months back to see his youngest daughter along with several others dance as most if not all Twi'lek females that lived beyond the cities limits were banned from reading and learning any type of education, leaving them to learn only skills that would be helpful to raising children or taking care of the household, some though learn to dance as they hope this skill would help them, please potential Masters that may take a shine to them, they hope the potential Masters would buy them from there-fathers and take them off-world where they may live a life of leisure as either a concubine or a dancer girl.
But that kind of life rarely happens, most Twi'lek females who fall for this are mostly sold as slaves to Masters that would hardly care as they would either beat them or just abuse them until they tire of them and shuffle them off to another Master broken and scared, he had seen this in his travels it had disgusted him to some point but he knew he needed to stay focused and complete the mission, though he would always come back and finish off the bastard freeing the slaves, he hopes no he prays that those slaves now are having a better life but at the moment his mind went back to the mission as he found a side entrance, waited to see if guards would appear, seeing none he took out his portable datapad as an image of the clan chieftain daughter appeared on it, the image showed a young Twi'lek female she looks to be in her early 20s, her skin matches her fathers, she also had on makeup but this was just on her cheeks and lips whitch were nice ruby red, she was about 1.6 meters in height so shorter then his 1.88 meters, her eyes were black and even though the Twi'lek people don't have barly if not any body air to speak off she did sport painted eye brows as this was a common practace with most females of this race who wanted to attract an humanoid lover or in most caste a human one.
She also wore the clothes of a dancer, fish netting that left little to the imagination and shown any potential master what she could also offer to them in case they wanted to see something else than their dancing, all in all, she was the typical Twi'lek female, though her beauty and grace that her body gave her was something to admire, against most of her people she had a striking appearance that caught his eyes immediately as he had to tare his eyes away from the image and focus on the mission.
Putting away the pad, he brought his left hand toward the door controls as he ready himself to open the door as his right was holding the carbine, taking a breath to calm himself for the next moment that was about to happen, the door slide open as he got his first look inside, already he saw that he needed not to worry about guards as there was none, there was only a hallway that only had two doors on either side, it seems that was only two ways inside so that only gave him two options find his target.
In this type of situation, one would trust their gut but for him, he trusted something else, he didn't know exactly what it was but to him, it was a feeling, something at his very core he could trust without never having to worry about it being wrong, he trusted it more than even his old friend that helped him when he woke up on Dantooine with no memory of himself and where he was, it was only thanks to the kindness of the Dantari that he was even able to survive, once he was able to get his strength back and learn to speak the language of his rescuers he began to help the Dantari in whatever way he could until only a few months later he meets his now old friend Talon Karrde, Captain of the ship Wild Karrde, the man had said he came down to look for Kath hounds, he was hoping to train some of them for guard hounds, so being that he was the only one that knew basic among the Dantari he offers to help.
The trip was uneventful it was only him and Karrde as he explain to him if he brought his men they would be too large of a group and would attract or scare hound in attack them, the man seem to have trusted him enough to agree to it as his men stayed with the Dantari camp as they made their way to the where the Kath hounds were, he was looking to capture a small one, but when one tried to mess with the pups of the pack the mothers usually are not far behind and they are always ready to defend their pups, they tried luring it away from the pack but it was frightened by something as it made a sound that began attracting the others, so they made there escape but as they ran away something in the back of head told him to dodge as he brought Karrde with him doing so they were able to avoid the attack of a raging Kath hound father as it large horns would have pircer Karrde back and killed the man, whitch he was greaful for as he later told him he was going to rethink making the hounds his pets as they made there way back to the Dantari camp.
From there Talon had offered him a job on his ship as thanks for saving his life and so thanking the Dantari for taking care of him, he said goodbye to Dantooine and began his life as a spacer, he helps Talon with the jobs that he does around the galaxy even becoming his right hand for close to 2 years until he decided his life was calling him somewhere else, so saying his goodbye to Talon he bought himself an HLAF-500 or better known as a heavy/light attack fighter and began his life as a bounty hunter, of course, he still remains in contact with Talon but now he was on his own dealing with what every life came at him and throughout all of that he would get feelings that would help him guide his course in life, it always made sure that whatever he did was something that would help him as he also wanted to learn about his past.
But at this moment his feelings were telling him to try the left door, so taking that way he slowly move towards the door but making sure his eyes were also on the right as he reach for the door control, the door slide open as he move in gun first, he eyes scan the room as he moves further in, his sensors pick up only two lifeforms as he found one bed inside the room and with both Lifesigns currently sleeping on it, he moves closer as he lowered his blaster that is when he got his first look at who was sleeping and he smiles as he spotted Oola was one of them as another Twi'lek was also sleeping with her as they were facing away from each other, this was also female but her skin was blue.
A Rutain, they were the most common color of their species but before he could think any more he heard the front door open as the sensors were telling him someone was coming down the hall as he quickly turn around as a figure came to the entrance of the open door as in one quick motion he shot his carbine, while he and the guard could not see that blaster bolt that shot out from the blaster he could see and hear the guard get push back and slam into the door that leads into the other room across from this one, he quickly heard the sound of Oola and the other girl as they woke up and seeing as his invisible to them there eyes went to the body that was now slumped against the door, both girls let out screams of terror as he shut off his clock and appeared to them which only seem to make them scream more as he quickly began to explain to them who he was.
"My name is Dante, I am here to rescue Oola from her kidnappers," said Dante as this seem to quiet the girls as both of them stare at him, though this did little to stop the problem that their scream had caused as he could hear in the other room that somebody was shouting out commanded in Huttes, while he did not know much Ryl he did learn Huttes as this language was common in much of Talon dealings and so what he was hearing was that man was shouting out for his guards and he now had very little time escape so doing the only thing he could he activated his trump card as in the next second the whole compound was now on fire as he rushes both Oola and the Rutain girl out, dogging that guard as they could he only needed to kill another guard as they made there escape into the wilderness of Ryloth.

The trip towards the clan's camp was quiet but he could feel the eyes of both females on him as they sat behind him, he didn't know why but he could feel that it was not fear that was going through their head but something else, he set his mind back on the task at hand as it only took them an hour to reach the camp, as he was getting further in the campground his sensors were picking up multiple targets that were closing in, at first he thought they were the guards as he may have missed some speeder but then he heard the familiar cries of Twi'lek men and there mounts as Oola yelled in happiness as they were escorted further in.
He parked his chariot just outside the camp as shut off the engines and got off his seat and made his way towards the door, Oola and the other girl were right behind him as the door came open, he still did not know the other girl name, he was going to ask after his meeting with the chieftain, they then walk out into the sunlight as they were greeted by Warriors that had escorted them in, some of them gave the other Twi'lek girl weird looks, that ment she was not known to the clan, somthing to think aobut but at the moment he face foward as one of them steps forward and told him to follow as they made their way through the camp, as they made there way he saw the natives stop and watch as he escorted, some of them gave him smiles and waves as the kids stop and tried to ask him questions, their mothers would shush them away as they told them not to bother him as they left he took out some sweets that he kept in his armor in case he wanted to have something sweet in-between mission, the kids smile and wave as they left, he smiles back even though they could not seem his face.
The homes of the camp were build-out of what looked like dirt and stone, while some of them were built out of metal structure most were just dirt and stone, it was a testament to their people as they still use such old ways to build their homes, but before he could look any more they finely reach the main home, this was one of the few that was built out of metal as the door slide open, the inside was just like before he was sent off on his mission to rescue Oola, it as a dining room, kitchen, leaving room for a talk or just to relax, he also saw a hallway that had several doors that probably held room or restroom to use.
But at the moment he was focused on Nilim Tarkona as the man sat on his couch with two of his guards behind him, he took the couch across from him as Oola left his side and ran to her father as she gave him a hug which Niliam return as he gave his daughter a smile, he notices that Oola was whispering to her father and not wanting to listen to a private talk he ignored it as he waited on the couch, the other Twi'lek that he saves was now behind him as she said nothing as she faces forward, "If she was not part of Clan Tarkona maybe he could find her clan and return her to them, maybe there will be a reward," thought Danet as both father and daughter were finished with there reunion, it was then that Nilim began to speak.
"I thank you, bounty hunter, you have returned to me my youngest daughter from the clutches of those who would wish her harm and for thanks, I give you this," said Nilim as the two guards left the room, they were only gone for a few seconds as when they return they carried crates back with them, one of them then open it as it held Ryll, the main export of there planet as the second being slaves.
He did the numbers in his head as he knew the price of Ryll was very high right now thanks to the ongoing civil war between the rebels and the empire, and from what he could know of Ryll it was mostly used for medical purposes, this was something that the rebels could and would pay a large sum of credits for, already smiles under his helmet he failed to hear what the chieftain said after as he asked again for him to repeat himself.
"I am sorry Chieftain but could you repeat that last part," said Dante as Nilim gave him a smile as his daughter stood up and went to stand by the other Twi'lek female as Nilim spoke.
"I said, Bounty hunter that I give you these two along with four more crates of Ryll," said Nilim as Dante was already going to make a good amount of credits with just the two but with four more he was going to be set for years to come, he quieted his thoughts as he could tell that Nilim was still talking as he wishes to hear what else he was going to give him. "I also wish to give you my daughter as by right of clans law I could sell or give my children as servants to whoever I wish," said Nilim as Dante's mind was going over what the chieftain had just given him.
"Did he just give me his daughter as my servant," was the only thought that ran through Dante mind as Oola smile as she jump him from behind which made them both crash into the ground he was not ready for that, Oola didn't care as she smiled into his helmet visors as she said?
"I hope you will take care of me, Master,"

And that ends Chapter 1, what did you guys think of this remake, still that same storyline that I plan to do but with much more meat to it, I gave more character development to Dante, so now he has somewhat of background but it mostly shrouded in mystery and his mainly his memory lost, what kind of life did he live before he was found and what could this mean to his future.
As for the lore I got from the wiki for ships, blasters, and armor as for the Twi'leks I got also from Wiki but I did watch MetaNerdz Lord video on the race and I could tell it helped a lot in making this chapter and would help in the future chapter as Dante begins to experience more of Twi'lwk cultural from Oola and Sienn'rha.
Has for Sienn'rha, Dante will learn her name in the next chapter and we will see more of her backstory as well, as for how she appears in this story from what I could get she does not have a skin color that comes out in the book she appears in the Star Wars Tales from Jabba Palace, so I decided to give her blue as she only is described as having red eyes and is less than 1.61 meters in height.
After all that is taken care of, will see Dante meet the rebels along with some of their main people but that is going to be some chapters away as he going to have to deal with the middle man first before he meets any of them but along the way he going to doing hunts along with trying to deal with two Twi'leks that only know how to dance and seduce men, Dante is going to be busy real soon.
Well see you guys next time don't forget to review, like, fave, or just leave me a PM.
