Garo Conquest of Makai
ESKK: Here we go a new chapter people. Let us begin.
(Start Beach)
The Trandoshians were at the crash site of their fallen ship after the Jedi had attacked it and crashed it. They were scavenging the wreckage to account for everything and take anything their prey would use to survive their hunt. "It's the younglings that did this." One of the Lizards said as he looked to Dar's father. "Their getting bold." He added as Dar's father wanted results.
"What about survivors?" He asked as he looked over to his subordinate.
"Both of our men were killed and there was only one prisoner a Wookie and he's missing." He explained as one of the dead was being carried away.
"So now the younglings are organized, bold, AND they got a Wookie." Dar's father said as it seems things just keep piling on and if they don't do something soon something most terrible will happen.
(With the Tree Group)
Ahsoka, Phonon, Jinx, and O-mer sat around the fire as Ahsoka and Phonon stayed close to the Wookie. They had already explained to Chewbacca what was going on, who they were, and why they ended up here. It was more or less what was told to Ahsoka and Phonon when they first arrived here so nothing much had changed save for their plans to get off this rock and back to civilization. "You're name is Chewbacca." Ahsoka translated to which Chewbacca made some growls to show that was correct.
"Chewbacca does anyone know you were even taken?" O'mer asked as he looked over to the Wookie.
After a few more grunts and growls from the Wookie with a few gestures it was Phonon who translated. "No but his home planet is not too far from here." Phonon said but Jinx rolled his eyes to this.
"That's great but it might as well be Coruscant as far as I'm concern we got no ship." Jinx said as he looked to the elders of the group.
Chewbacca then shot up and made a few roars as he was a bit annoyed by Jinx's negativity but let it pass for now. Phonon noted the annoyance and knew well enough to not upset a Wookie. "He thinks he can contact his home planet if we find a way to transmit a signal." Ahsoka translated next as Jinx saw a dead end there.
"Right and how would we do that send smoke signals?" Jinx began as he headed back to his seat. "We don't exactly have a transmitter lying around if you haven't noticed." Jinx said as he sat down at his normal spot.
"Actually we do." Phonon said getting everyone's attention. "In fact it just arrived with Chewbacca we just need to put it together." Phonon said as Chewbacca saw what Phonon meant and began to roar and growl which got Ahsoka smiling next.
"Chewbacca said he can build the transmitter from the wreckage on the beach." Ahsoka explained as she looked to the camp as Phonon nodded to them on this.
"Well we can't just sit here." O'mer said as he was excited to finally get off this rock after who knows how long.
"Fine we'll do it the Wookie way." Jinx said as they didn't have much else for ideas at the moment.
"We better start moving fast before sun rise." Phonon said as they all knew what happens comes sun rise. Chewbacca made a roar in agreement as he also wanted to get off this planet and go back home to his people.
(Scene break)
The 3 youngling, the Makai knight, and the Wookie travel down the path that would lead to the beach where the ship had gone down while armed with spears, clubs, and more arrows in Phonon's quiver. When they had got there the Makai Knight looked to the others as he said, "Ahsoka, Chewbacca, and I will go out to scout out the crash ship. You two stay here and call out for anything, keep your eyes open to everything."
Jinx nodded as soon enough the group was split into two as Jinx and O-mer to cover in the trees while Ahsoka, Chewbacca, and Phonon headed towards the ship with Phonon having his bow ready for anything as they came up to the ruin ship itself.
Soon a hover pod flew over with a spot light shining down over to see if anyone return to the site, as Phonon, Ahsoka and Chewbacca ran for cover as Ahsoka said, "Get back. It's a patrol."
The youngling took cover as the light shine over onto them, as the ship soon turn around, it wasn't flying off, but lowering down and dropping off a Trandoshian hunter as the driver said to him, "Happy hunting."
The hover pod soon took off as the hunter took a possession on the root he was drop off on with his energy sniper rifle aim down at the ruin ship, unknown to him he was underneath where the Youngling are taking cover at, as they poke their heads out and look up without being notice.
(The ruin ship)
Chewbacca came to the cargo area and slip making a thud with Ahsoka rushing to his side to see if he is okay as Phonon came around and said, "That was a bit too loud, hopefully that one patrol left before so."
"Any hopefully won't be back for a while," Ahsoka said as Chewbacca looked around as Ahsoka asked, "What are we looking for anyways?"
Chewbacca reach out and pull something out of the wall as he give a growl while showing it as Ahsoka said, "Are you still feeling optimistic about making a transmitter out of this junk?"
"If he believe he can make it so out of this said "junk", then let him do it," Phonon said as he did believe Chewbacca can create a Transmitter, and hopefully he can use it to boost the signal to his beacon he still had on him, as Chewbacca growl out to him saying, 'Thank you' or something.
(Outside the ruin ship)
The hunter keep his scope down range on the ship, as it seem he spotted something within the ship as he said, "Now, what do we have here?"
The youngling knew the hunter was onto their friends, as they look at each other as they gave a silent nod to each other saying, they need to help their friends, as they soon started to climb up on the tree roots.
(Inside the ship)
As everyone look around as Chewbacca had a light on him as he shine it down onto a control before he grab it and rip it out as he show the two what he has as Phonon said, "Let hope it's enough then."
"Let get going before that patrol comes back," Ahsoka said as Chewbacca put the items he gather into a box he started to carry as they soon came to the exit.
(The hunter)
"Come on, pretties, one more step," The Trandoshian hunter said as he sees the feet of Ahsoka through his scope as he prepared to fire.
(Outside the ruin ship)
"It looks clear. Come on," Ahsoka said as she looked around ahead and about to come out into the open until Chewbacca give a fearful growl.
(The hunter)
The Trandoshin hunter adjust his scope a bit to try and get a clear shot unknown that O-mer and Jinx were coming up from below him.
(The group)
"It's okay," Ahsoka said as Phonon said, "Let me lead then just in case."
Phonon took the lead as he walk pass Ahsoka with his bow ready for anything.
(The hunter)
"Time to join the force Jedi," The Trandoshin said as then suddenly he saw Phonon walking out instead as he said, "The archer?"
Before he could fire Jinx swipe at the energy sniper rifle as the shot misfired.
(The group)
Phonon move out of the way of a shot that was came near him and took aim towards where he saw the shot come from as he look and saw the hunter including Jinx and O-mer over where the hunter was at with Ahsoka yell out, "Sniper! Get down!"
"You stay there then, the two boy maybe in danger," Phonon took off as he ran towards the hunter and the two younglings.
(Over with the others)
Jinx was hanging onto the snipers rifle giving O-mer enough time to jump onto his back and begin a struggle. The trio struggled for a bit before falling off the tree spoke and to the ground below. The Trandoshian of course was the first one back on his feet to which he grabbed his rifle and took aim. While Jinx was struggling to get back up O-mer jumped in and pushed the rifle out of the way. The result of this was a fist fight as the lizard like Alien took on the big headed Jedi. O-mer was of course knocked back to which Jinx jumped in and jumped onto their hunters back.
The fight continued but it wasn't long until the two Jedi's were knocked down by the Trandoshian. "I'll gut you whelp." The Trandoshian said as he pulled out his dagger and pinned Jinx down to the ground. But before he could move a fur covered arm grabbed the Trandoshian's dagger arm and in turn revealed that it was Chewbacca who stopped the lizard man. Chewbacca then roared out as he squeezed down the hand and thus forced the Trandoshian to drop the dagger.
Chewbacca then knocked down the Trandoshian and began to strangle the foe as he was on his knees. "Wait we should take him prisoner." Jinx said as he glared down at their foe.
"Fine Chewbacca let's take him." Ahsoka said as she looked to the fallen hunter.
"I agree after all I doubt he'd want to upset a Wookie." Phonon said as if his master was anything to go by you do NOT upset a Wookie. Chewbacca agreed and let the Trandoshian go only for Phonon to knock him out cold for added security. "Just in case he tries to call for help." Phonon said as Chewbacca nodded and hoisted the foe over his shoulder like a sack.
(Later back at their camp)
The group arrived back at camp as the Trandoshian had woken up by then and had his hands tied behind his back. Chewbacca had finished putting the transmitter together as Phonon kept an arrow trained on the Trandoshian. He was not allowed to kill but hopefully the fear of it will be a proper deterrent.
"How's it looking Chewbacca?" Ahsoka asked as she looked to the Wookie and his work while the Transmitter was sending out the signal. Chewbacca roared saying it was just about done as he looked to Ahsoka. "Will it work?" Ahsoka asked but Phonon jumped in.
"Only one way to find out." Phonon said as Chewbacca nodded and pressed the button activating the transmitter. In turn it began to send out the signal and move about.
"Well something is working." O-mer said as he looked to the device in action. But as it moved Chewbacca cried out in a roar as the machine began to spark about before shutting down as Phonon cursed their luck here.
Jinx getting annoyed spoke up as he walked to the group. "We got a prisoner we should be using him to our advantage while we have a chance." Jinx said as he looked to the group.
"I thought he prisoner was the backup plan." Ahsoka said as she glared at Jinx in a scolding manner.
"It's clear enough we cannot rely on that device." Jinx said as Phonon lowered his arrow to give Jinx a warning look. It was accompanied by Chewbacca's roar to which Jinx got the memo. "No offense but we can't just sit here any longer." Jinx said making sure the Wookie knew it was not an insult to him which seemed to work.
"We should wait." Ahsoka said as Phonon then had eyes on him.
"I'll stay neutral here." Phonon said as he kept an eye on their prisoner for the time being.
"I agree with jinx," O-mer said, sounded a bit scared as he went on saying, "We have to act while we have an advantage."
"Let's say we do it your way. What's the plan?" Ahsoka asked to see what sort of plan jinx has and wonder if it a good one with Jinx said to her, "We can use the prisoner to trick the enemy into flying one of their pods down to us, then we hijack the pod, fly up to their base, and take them by surprise."
"And what to say the prisoner doesn't comply, or try to do something that would lead us into a trap?" Phonon said as he wants to take in all sort of situation as Jinx points to Chewbacca and said, "Then we give the prisoner to him, let him deal with the Trandoshian."
"We'll worry about that when the time comes to it," Jinx said as it seem one way or another he want to get off the world they were on as Phonon said nothing else after that as he cannot interfere with the path other has taken.
"Ahsoka, Phonon, you got us to believe in ourselves again. And, well, I believe Jinx's plan will work," O-mer said as Jinx said to them, "Look, do what you want, but O-mer and I are leaving with the prisoner in the morning."
Soon enough they left as Phonon soon did his thing to occupy his time with Ahsoka said, "Their hearts are in the right place. You know we can't let them go alone."
Chewbacca give a growl as it seem he didn't want to fight as Phonon said, "I agree their plan are crazy."
"We're not going to be able to do this without ether of you. We need both of your help," Ahsoka said as she rub Chewbacca back and look towards Phonon as he sighed and said, "Your lucky I won't be able to rest well if anyone of you dies or gets hurt on my mind."
Chewbacca turn to Ahsoka and growls while Phonon pull out more arrow supplies he had store away as Ahsoka smile and said, "Who knows? Maybe our luck's just about to change."
"If you keep saying that, then our luck won't," Phonon said as Ahsoka said to him, "And why say that?"
"You have no idea what fate will have in store for us, the force or not, as in the words of person I am unfortunately friends with, "fate can be a cruel mistress" in my words at least, he word it differently," Phonon said as he still didn't want to say what the perverted knight said back then when they were training together.
"Anyways, you better get some sleep. I'll be staying up working still and help keep an eye on our guest for tonight," Phonon said as Ahsoka nodded as she said, "See you in the morning."
AS she went to her spot to get some rest with everyone else, Phonon still working on some arrows as the Trandoshian look towards everyone seeing them looking away or doing something else, he figure he can escape, as he slowly stood up until a spear flew by his head, and frost in place by that as Phonon voice spoken up saying, "Think about escaping again and you will find yourself hanging on the ceiling with your arm and legs bound with sharp object below you."
The Trandoshian sat back down as he didn't want to chance it again and just stay still, as for everyone... it's going to be a long night.
(Later)
AS the fire grew dim but burn bright enough to see as one someone else took shift of watching over the prisoner, Ahsoka was fast asleep, as she seem calm at first until her face and fist crunch up a bit as if she seeing something the force is showing her.
(Ahsoka's dreams)
AS the young Jedi find herself within a white void area with nothing around her but strange symbols moving around as she walk through it as she call out, "Hello?"
Her voice echo through the white void with no reply back, as Ahsoka keeps looking around as she asked herself, "Where am I?"
Soon enough after walking, a sound suddenly came forth, a shimmer sound of sort, with Ahsoka looking around of where the sound is coming from before looking ahead and saw something, as she thought it was one of those strange marking until it came closer to her, moving fast as the sound became louder and louder.
Ahsoka eyes widen as she saw a huge wave of shadows coming towards her with little to no time to react as she just brace herself as the shadow wash over her.
Ahsoka waited for something, but nothing seem to come close of touching her, but soon saw she was in a different place when she open her eyes and saw her surroundings.
On a different planet than the one she knows she on with the younglings, The Wookie and the Makai knight, a whole different planet with mountains around and vegetate growth surrounds her as she can only describe it as the planet Typhon.
At first, it seem so peaceful... yet she sense a dark present like she was also near the present of a horror, yet it was not. She also felt the force but not the light... but the dark side.
Turning her eyes onto the dark area that surrounds her... there she saw a gate of sort that lead into a temple... or a tomb as what she saw didn't seem like a temple at all.
The gate soon open up on their own, as if something was inviting Ahsoka in, as she wanted to walk away, she wanted to run... but it seem her body refuse to listen as she started to walk to the tomb, soon walking pass the doors as they soon close behind her, leaving her within darkness.
Suddenly a light came forth, a torches were being lit with green flames running down a hall, as Ahsoka descend down the halls as the dark present was still there, surrounding her, as she shiver to the dark and cold feeling around her as she didn't know where she was going as she walk the long path down many hallways through confusing part of the tomb she saw before arriving to a dark room with nothing lighting it until a red, and purple-ish blue light came forth and before her she saw what almost looks like a Makai knight standing there facing away... but it wasn't.
The armor didn't look like metal, but more like flesh, bone, and blood fuse together making more like a demon knight, as the hand twitch, Ahsoka gasp a bit letting her present known to the knight before her as it turn suddenly to face her as Ahsoka.
As she blink for just a moment, the felt the dark present stronger than before, as she open her eyes the demon knight was suddenly before her giving a monstrous growl, with Ahsoka suddenly fell back a bit before crawling away, soon getting up to her feet and turn around to run.
She didn't know what was going on, but she felt afraid, very afraid. As she face down dark Jedi before, came face to face with evil people, fight powerful droids, and seen Horrors before, but this… this was something beyond her power and straight.
As she keep running, into the darkness, unknowing to her the area around her had change, as she suddenly felt cold and she felt like she was running in snow, as she saw cracks of light, she ran to it and soon she found herself coming out of trees cover in snow.
It didn't take long for Ahsoka to find herself on the familiar grounds of Illum. The planet in which all Jedi Younglings come to claim their Lightsaber crystals. She then heard laughter of a child as she looked and saw a pale skinned child appear as she was dressed in newly made robes not seen since the time of the old republic. She looked innocent up until her eyes turned to a shade of demonic red and thus a shadow began to creep from the caves. She looked and saw an old tomb or temple blast upward and the doors to it open with a loud bang. From there she saw another Horror appear as it blasted out and thus Ahsoka found herself blasted back by the cold air it produced.
But then snow turned into sand as Ahsoka rolled onto the sand and found herself in a location unknown to herself. She looked around and noticed there was a lot of red here. Just then she turned around and gasped when a massive pyramid rose from the ground with obelisks surrounding the four corners of it. Once it did the tombs doors blew open and from there she saw a cloaked figure there before it charged straight out after her before Ahsoka could counter it. But before it could something blasted into the Horror and in turn began to stand up. It wielded a demonic sword as its figure was crimson red with horns on it, large wings, and a long tail. It began to turn to her while chuckling before charging at Ahsoka sword raised. But before Ahsoka could grab her lightsaber the Horror vanished into smoke and thus Ahsoka found herself in a void of sorts. She looked around confused until she took the first step. When she did the ground began to shine and thus she found herself on a platform the same one she saw on Mortis when Anakin had saved herself and Obi-Wan from the Son and Daughter.
Soon it reached further but instead of walls or temple instead she saw forest and life. As she looked to this she saw a path of stone leading away from the ground making her curious. "What is this?" She wondered but before she could take the next step she saw two figures pass by her. She was wide eyed when she saw they were in fact the Son and the Daughter causing her to go wide eye. They paid her no mind as they walked away torts the path making Ahsoka go wide eyed.
"Hey wait!" Ahsoka called out as she chased after them hoping to stop them. Was this a dream, a vision, or something else? Ahsoka knew not but what she did know was that she had to get to those two who kept walking as if they didn't hear her at all.
As Ahsoka chased them the path around her seemed to change until she found herself in a realm of stars and portals which confused her. But regardless she got to one set of portals as the two stopped for a moment. "How are you two here?" Ahsoka asked as she knew they were both dead.
The two looked to each other and smirked before turning torts Ahsoka but their form changing. In their places was two figures in Madou robes as one had Togruta facial features but with human hair as his markings were over human skin. His markings were fang like as on his left middle finger was a familiar skull shaped ring. The girl next to him had almost all the Togruta features only she had human hair mixed in and lacked the upper horn part of her Lekku. But it mattered little as she had ivory hair that allowed her Lekku to blend in perfectly.
The two looked to Ahsoka and smiled to her as Ahsoka was confused to this. "Who... who are you?" she asked as she wanted some answers here.
"Look." The girl said as she pointed to the portal. She in turn saw Garo fighting a Dark Knight that seemed to be an evil parody of it as fighting by his side was a blond haired young man who reminded her of Anakin with a familiar saber to her fighting a dark figure. Garo's armor was different then Andros' but she knew the armor by instinct alone. The next one was another version of Garo as his armor was accompanied by circuit like violet lights over the armor. He was taking on a dark armored foe as well but clearly not the first one as this one had a glaive as opposed to a sword.
"What... who is... who are you?" Ahsoka asked as she looked to the duo but it was the boy who spoke up next.
"All in good time." He said before putting his hand on her forehead and thus Ahsoka felt herself dragged to where this small journey had begun.
(Waking World Camp site)
"Ahsoka… Ahsoka?" Phonon rang out as she started to open her eyes as Phonon went on saying, "Come on, the sun up, it's time to move out."
"I'm… back?" Ahsoka said sounding confused as Phonon said to her, "I don't know what you mean as you never left. Now come up and gear up, we got work to do."
Phonon said as everyone else was wake and eating breakfast that was prepared as Ahsoka nodded and grab something to eat.
(Later)
Back towards the beach as Phonon and Ahsoka lead the group with the Trandoshian prisoner being handle by Chewbacca, seeing the crash ship in site as Ahsoka said, "Alright, we better get started."
"Be aware of your surroundings, no telling what here or who is here," Phonon said as he thought the Trandoshian hunter might have left some traps behind after their last visit to the crash ship sense they took one of theirs hostage.
"Right, time to call your friends," Jinx said as the Trandoshian give a low growl as he said, "I'm not helping you whelp."
Everyone looked at each other with Phonon just looked away as someone need to keep an eye out just in case while the youngling work on the hunter, as Ahsoka said, "Chewbacca, we need him at eye level, please."
Chewbacca kneel the Trandoshian down as Jinx started his Jedi mind trick as he said, "You will listen to me."
The Trandoshian give a laughing growl as he said to jinx, "No I won't."
Chewbacca roar a bit before smacking the hunter a bit and held his head still to make him focus as Jinx did it again but a bit more force into it as he said, "You will listen to me."
The hunter gives a small normal growl as he said, "I will listen to you."
"You were our captive, but now you've escaped," Jinx said as thing were running smoothly with the mind trick as the hunter said, "I was your captive, but now I've escaped."
"You need to call a speeder to pick you up," Jinx said as he kneeled down to untie the hunter as the he repeated, "I need to call a speeder to pick me up."
The Trandoshian hunter went to his wrist communicator as he turn it on getting static at first until it clear up with someone answer his call as they say, "Smug? Where have you been?"
"I need a speeder to pick me up," Smug said as Phonon thought for a moment as it seems a bit too easy and wonder if these hunter has a code word they would say to confirm if it was them or if they are safe, as that what he'll do in a group, with that thought he had an arrow ready for anything as they all waited for the pod speeder to come.
(Little later)
A Hover pod came down from the skies as it went down to the beach as the driver saw smug out in the open waving his arm to signal him.
Smug turn back to Jinx as he wonder what he is supposed to do now and without saying a words as Jinx told him to put on his hunter's face, as Smug nodded and turn back as the hover pod came down before him while he walk out to it as the Trandoshian said to him, "Get in. Let's go."
"Now!" Ahsoka call out as she leap into action and kick the Trandoshian driver into the metal cover screen, but it didn't knock him out, just piss him off as he try to strike Ahsoka then leap at her, taking them both off the hover pod that was spinning around, with Jinx jumping Smug and O-mer jumping towards the Hover-pod to take control of it as Phonon came in and assist Ahsoka as he came up and smack his bow against the Trandoshian's face, at his jaw area to stun him before round house kick him off of Ahsoka.
O-mer steady the controls on the hover pod, as the Trandoshian driver recover from Phonon kick before Chewbacca jump down behind the hunter as he turn around heard the dropping thud before getting the day light knock out of him as he fell back out cold with smug knock out as well thank to Jinx quick thinking, as O-mer pull the hover pod near the group as he said, "Want a lift?"
Ahsoka smile at it seem the plan was coming together well, as Phonon said, "Let get going then."
(At the hide out)
The transmitter was working and was sending out a signal to whoever could be listening, while hook up to it was Phonon beacon device as its signal was bit transmitted out as well for the closes Makai member to find it.
(Andros)
Andros was going over another system until he gotten a transmission sound as it rang out static for a bit until a growl of a Woodie coming through alongside of beeps in it that going in a pattern, as Andros blink to that as he look at his transmission as he said, "Turn that up G, separate those beeps and make it as clear as you can."
Bd-G2 beep out as the little droid brought out a small plug in as he plug into the ship and clear up beeps in the transmission as Andros hears it, listen to it carefully as he said, "That Phonon code, he alive."
BD-G2 beep out a bit in excitement as Andros hit a few switches and said to his friend, "Trace the signal now, and don't lose it."
As his droid buddy beep out as he understand and work fast of tracing the signal as Andros got the coordinates of it as he said, "We're coming Phonon and I hope Ahsoka is with you."
(Gold storm)
The ship turn in a direction where the signal is coming from as the engine power were soon increase, the ship went into hyper drive once more.
(Trandoshian's ship)
Two Trandoshians were leaning on the railing talking as they had been assigned there. "Drix and Smug should be back by now." The Trandoshian said as he looked to his friend. Just then the two were caught off guard when the hover craft came up behind them. It then spun while accompanied by Chewbacca's roar before the Jinx, Chewbacca Ahsoka, and Phonon jumped off. Chewbacca got off first as Jinx had already followed suit knocking out one of the lizards.
Chewbacca went low and in turn threw the Trandoshian off the edge before Phonon could stop him. "Ow." Phonon gasped as he realized he was going to be hearing about this later... hopefully he gets off light.
They assumed they got in quietly but it seemed Jinx wasn't thorough enough when he knocked down the guard. In turn the Trandoshian began to roar in order to call for help. In turn the Trandoshians all ran out and in turn the leader saw them and knew who they were. "Kill them! Kill them! I want their skins!" Dar's father roared in fury as the group was soon being fired upon by the Trandoshians.
"Get to cover!" Phonon ordered and thus Chewbacca acted by flipping a hover craft onto its side to act as cover.
"Look!" Jinx called out and thus Phonon saw it as well. A lone Trandoshian was running to a hover craft to use it on the group.
"I got it lets give him a lift!" Ahsoka said before she and Jinx force lifted the hover craft and thus threw it at them. As this happened the four ran out of cover to get more ground but as they did so more Trandoshian's appeared. One of them wielding a bow and arrow as Phonon noticed the arrows had gadgets on them. Considering he had lost his other arrows Phonon knew he had been giving a golden opportunity.
"Go on ahead I have some business that needs to be dealt with." Phonon said as Ahsoka looked and got the gist before she nodded.
The Trandoshian was setting up an arrow only for Phonon to fire it at them instead. When the enemy archer looked he saw Phonon smirking at him as he saw this. "Nice Arrows." Phonon said as he also noticed as the two archers notched up an arrow ready to fight. The two then fired off their arrows and thus Phonon pulled back and grabbed the arrow thrown at him. He then noticed it up and both figuratively and literally returned fire. The Arrow flew back as it was a tazer one that the volts on a human would kill them but thanks to the Trandoshian's hides the arrow did as intended and stunned him. Phonon then took the quiver and added it to the Soul Metal ones he had and thus was armed for combat... saved for one last thing.
Phonon looked and took something from the Trandoshian revealing them to be sunglasses. Once he adjusted them he then smirked almost giddy as if he was reunited with an old friend. "I was wondering where these ended up at." Phonon asked as these were his sunglasses and he be damned if anyone took them away for one reason or another.
Two more Trandoshians were running in as they got ready to fire down on the survivors. But they failed to notice O-Mer flying down on them. The youngling then began to fire down upon them as they danced a bit before jumping into cover. When they did so Dar's father ran over to the turret and began firing upon O-mer. O-mer tried his best to perform evasive maneuvers but even he knew he could only do that for so long with this hunk of junk.
Everyone fought off the Trandoshians as Chewbacca wrestle against one, with Ahsoka and Jinx trip fought off another one as a team knowing they cannot match them in strength but they could in skill as they trip him and knock him out.
Phonon was held himself well against a small group of Trandoshians as he use the stun arrows on them without wasting a moment and arrow on them, even one that try to get behind him failed, as he saw them coming as they lunge at him, but then he spin around to avoid them and put an stun arrow into their butts as they cry out before passing out, with Phonon said, "I can't do spanking but that will have to do.
Suddenly Phonon saw a shadow coming over him as he move out of the way of a broken equipment, as he turn around quickly to see a big standing there with a machete weapon in hand that look like it could cut someone in half as he said, "I'm going to peel the skin off your flesh Chisss!"
"You welcome to try," Phonon said as he stood up and wave his hand at the big Trandoshian, telling him to bring it on, as the big guy came running with his weapon raise high with Phonon calmly drew two arrows and ran towards the Trandoshian before leaning back to avoid the machete which hit the ground as Phonon slide under him before he aim behind him and fire the two arrows into the big Trandoshian's back knocking him out cold with Phonon said, "but I dealt with bigger."
With O-mer as he try to evade the laser blast, but he wasn't fast enough as many shot landed on the hover pod lucky O-mer was alright but the hover pod started to smoke and lose power, as everyone look towards O-mer as he tries to fly back onto the ship as he did but unfortunately landed hard knocking with everyone diving out of the way of O-mer as he landed and knock back the other hover pod which made Chewbacca avoid it as well.
Phonon saw it coming as he bend his legs a bit and jump over it with ease, as for him it was a simple thing to avoid, but he didn't plan on getting surrounded by the remaining hunters on the ship as they had their guns pointed at everyone as they give a growl at them.
Two Trandoshians came over to him with their weapon pointed at Phonon's back as one said to him, "Drop the bow Chiss."
"Or well kill those whelps," the 2nd one said as Phonon saw weapons were pointed at the others, having no choice but to drop his weapon and his quiver of arrows he had, as Dar father came up as he said, "A valiant effort, little younglings,."
On Phonon wrist as a light started to blink a bit as the Bow user Makai knight saw this as he knew what this means. He then looked back over to Dar's father as he then went on saying, "Especially you two, the Chisss, and you Togruta. You two will be an excellent prized trophies in my collection."
"I would not be saying that so soon," Phonon said as Dar's father look to him and said, "And what make you say that, Chisss?"
"We called for help," Phonon said as suddenly there was an engine sound as everyone look up and saw a carrier ship coming down, with warrior Wookie's inside of it, but they weren't the only one that showed up.
As a ship flew above and near the other ship as Phonon saw it's the Gold storm, Andros has come as Ahsoka wonder who that was until a voice came forth from it, being Andros voice as he said, "Attention all pirates, I believe you have something that belong to me, and someone you have taken. Surrender now or else."
Ahsoka could not help but smile happily to hear him as Andros had found them as Phonon sighed to this and said, "Always with the attention grabbing."
Dar's father growl as this as he aim his weapon as the gold storm and fire upon it, as it took the hit like a tank, mean while the other Trandoshians open fire as well, with the Wookie's repel down from the carrier and join in on the action as well.
(Andros)
"Seem like one doesn't want to surrender. G disable that gun and run cover fire below, stun shot only," Andros said as G in the gunner seat beep out as he plug into the controls and move the gun aim at the weapon and fire a shot.
(The fight)
A gun under the ship took aim at the gun Dar's father was using and fire upon it, destroying it as Dar was force to let go of it.
Meanwhile down below as Phonon was fighting alongside the Wookie's as he fire a few stun arrows at the Trandoshians to stop them.
Phonon nodded at his work as he turn around and face the leader of the Wookie as he roar at him loudly, Phonon stood brave as he put his hand at his throat and try his best as he give the best growl of a Wookie as he can.
The leader title his head as he give a growl sounding like he was questioning of who he is as Phonon said, "I am an ally, it all I can say really."
The leader seem surprise by the look on his face before he nodded before Phonon drew a stun arrow and fire it at a Trandoshian behind the Wookie leader as he said, "Better watch your back as well."
The Wookie nodded and give his thanks as he join his brothers to fight off the Trandoshians.
Dar's father soon retreated back inside as he shut the doors with Ahsoka saw this as she turn to a Wookie and said, "Can you get me up there?"
The Wookie nodded as Ahsoka went to the railing as the Wookie kneel down with both hands together to give Ahsoka a lift, as she gave a running start before stepping onto the Wookie's hands as he throw her up into the air with Ahsoka flew towards the balcony of the ship before running to the ship, unknown to her a shadow follow her over.
(Inside)
Ahsoka walk in the ship, into a dark lit room with a fur rub below, and what she saw around her, many trophy heads of many different species as she can ignore them and look for Dar's father inside as she look around, hearing the growls around as she wonder where the hunter was.
Looking towards the center of the room before she advance towards, slowly and steady, being ready for anything that jump up at her from the shadows, soon approach the throne as she stop for a moment and leap towards it and saw... no one.
She stood up and keep looking around, as from above behind her, Dar's father came forth with a hatchet in his hands as he give a small growl before leaping towards Ahsoka, but before he could reach her, a familiar red scabbed of a sword flew towards him and hit him in the head while bouncing back, as it throw him off with Ahsoka move out of the way to see Dar's father hitting the floor with a familiar voice came up as they said, "IT rude to attack from behind you know."
Ahsoka turn her head and see Andros with his weapon out with the sheath back on his sword as Ahsoka called out, "Andros?"
Dar's father stood up as he looks towards Andros and said to him in an angry growl, "Who are you?"
"I doubt you will remember it as where you will be going you won't be needing my name anyways," Andros said as he stood ready as Dar's father roar out as he came at Andros with his hatchet weapon, with Andros move with ease as he dodge the strike before deflecting it with his sheath weapon and kick the white skin Trandoshian back.
He growl out as he went at him again as Andros dodge all of his attack again as for him it was just a warm up as he shove the handle of his sword into his gut, making him gasp out in pain making him back away while holding the area Andros struck as he said, "You're better off Surrender right now. I don't want to hurt you."
"But I do want to hurt you!" Dar's father yell as he came at Andros again as the Makai knight back away from the side before jump in the air to kick his hand that held the weapon, making him drop it before the Trandoshian rush him with a strike as Andros side step tripping into a stand that held a weapon on it, knocking it off to the ground, him as Andros said to him, "At this point your just embarrassing yourself."
the hunter gotten up as he turn around, while reading behind him for a knife he has hidden before he rush at Andros with the knife raise high with Andros put a handle on his sword, quickly drew it and slash the knife out of his hand with ease before sheathing his sword back, with Dar's father stumble back after that as he fell back onto the stand before hitting the floor as Andros said, "You done, no more fighting. Anymore at this point is just a losing battle."
"I will not stop... until she is dead, she killed my son, and she must pay for it!" Dar's father said as he was clearly enraged for the death of his son. Andros in turn just sighed before he proceeded to respond to the father, "I do not judge other of their actions, I just defend them, and Jedi as well are meant to protect others and defend themselves as well, not seek out fights. So if you want someone to blame, blame yourself."
Dar's father growl a bit before his breath slow down as Andros took it as he was standing down before he turn around to Ahsoka and said, "Let get you back, as I think there is someone who is missing you."
Dar's father turn his head towards the gun as he give a growl, as he reach for it quickly and point it at Andros with Ahsoka saw this as she said, "Watch out!"
In that moment as Ahsoka rush back Andros and force push Dar's father back without much thinking of how much force she did, which send the Trandoshian hunter back as he fire a shot but missed, while he flew through the doors and over the rails as he scream out and fell to his death.
Andros turn around surprise by this as Ahsoka was shock as she said, "I... I didn't mean too. He had a weapon and... And-"
"He might have killed me," Andros said as he realize what he did... he messed up as he thought the situation was good but overlook the simple thing such as the blaster.
"I screwed up," Andros said as he started to blame himself for this, if he have focus, then no one would have died, with Ahsoka was about to say something until Zaruba said taking Andros mind off the situation as he said, "It not your fault Andros, it was an accident if you cause it or not. Don't let this get you down."
Andros stood still for a moment took a breath as he return to his normal mood as he said, "I guess there nothing we can do about it then." Turning to Ahsoka and said, "Let's get you home."
Ahsoka smile to him as she nodded as they both headed out together and join with the rest of everyone else.
(Down below)
The remaining Trandoshians hunters were tied up and under heavy guard of the Wookie surrounding them as much they want to kill them but Phonon convince them to not do it and let the hunter face justice for their crime.
Andros and Ahsoka soon join the others as Andros said, "Well now, I didn't expect to see you in this situation."
"And I didn't expect a Trandoshian to come flying down from above ether," Phonon said as it almost sound like he sees Andros as the suspect for it with Ahsoka stepping up to him and said to the bow user, "He didn't do that. It was me, I push him over to."
"I wasn't blaming him for it, if anything he wasn't paying attention and you have to save him as I suppose," Phonon said as Andros said to him, "I would dealt with it, I was... a bit off today."
"Yea, 4 days without sleep will do that to you," Zaruba said as Ahsoka was surprise by this as she turn to him and said, "You haven't sleep yet?"
"I didn't felt like sleeping... yet," Andros said as the lack of sleep was getting to him a bit, as Zaruba said, "He didn't stop until he found you once he heard you were missing."
"Shut up now," Andros said as he put Zaruba cover on him again as Phonon said, "Well nothing we can do about it now then. I need to reach watchdog Veline and give the information of the tomb to her."
"Oh yea, you were the messenger," Andros said as he held out his hand with Phonon look to him confused with Ahsoka looked confused as well of the situation as Phonon said, "What are you doing?"
"waiting for you to give me the information, as my job was to find you, pick up the info and go back to lady Veline with it, now... give it," Andros said as Phonon said, "I can't just give you the information, you must take me to her."
"Dude, why are you being a pain about it? Just hand it over and I can drop you off at the nearest planet that has a Makai order station there so you can request to get your ship retrieve and repaired," Andros said as Phonon sighed as he said, "I don't cannot give you it because I don't have it on a data disk or have it written down."
"Then where is it. and don't tell me I flew around at first looking for you for nothing," Andros said as Phonon points to his head as he said, "The information is delicate, we cannot have it where it can be easily taken, so I memorized it and I am the only to tell to Lady Veline herself."
"In a way I forgot much how of a nork you are," Andros said as Phonon roll his eyes under his sunglasses to that word Andros just use to call him, with Ahsoka giggle at that as she question, "A nork? What is that supposed to mean?"
"You be quite, and you Andros be silent, as I do what I do because it's what we're supposed to do, as well we're not done here just yet ether. There are other on this world lost and I think we should return them back to their homes," Phonon said as he still remember the survivors on the island and hope they are still alive.
(Scene break)
After a few days the people that were taken by the Trandoshian hunters were brought back to their homes and the hunter to the authority to let them deal with the hunters.
With Andros was force to stay out of the pilot seat and confide to his bed to sleep for the rest of the ride by Ahsoka herself, with BD-G2 flying taking the pilot seat with Phonon taking co-pilot, as no matter what Andros doesn't trust anyone else fly his ship leaving his buddy droid in charge with Phonon just sit there annoyed by this.
Soon enough they all return to Coruscant, the Gold storm stood outside the Jedi temple as Anakin and master Plo walk up to the group on the platform, as Anakin scan everyone as he saw Andros with Bd-G2 on his back with Ahsoka standing right next to him as he call out, "Ahsoka!"
Ahsoka seeing her master headed on over to him as Phonon looked over and sighed before walking off. Once Anakin got to Ahsoka Andros smiled as he saw Anakin put his hands on Ahsoka's shoulders. It wasn't long till Plo came up behind her but it was hard to tell if he was smiling considering how his face is. "It's good to see you save little Soka." Plo said before he took his leave.
Andros followed his example and took his leave as well to give the Master and Apprentice time to reconnect. Once they were gone Anakin began to speak as he was worried sick for Ahsoka. "Ahsoka I am so sorry." Anakin apologized as he looked away in shame.
"For what?" Ahsoka asked as she was confused as to what Anakin had to be sorry for.
"For letting you go for letting you get taken. It was my fault." Anakin said as it was clear he had been putting all the blame himself for Ahsoka being taken by the Trandoshians.
"No Master it wasn't your fault." Ahsoka confirmed as she looked to Anakin.
"I should have paid more attention I should have tried harder." Anakin said as he looked away trying to reason that he was at fault here.
"You already did everything you could. Everything you had to do." Ahsoka said as she looked to Anakin. "When I was out there alone all I had was your training and the lessons you taught me." Ahsoka said as Anakin looked to Ahsoka who was looking away. "And because of you I did survive and not only that I was able to lead others to survive as well." Ahsoka said as she looked to her master grateful for the lessons he imparted to her.
"I don't know what to say." Anakin said as he clearly felt better now... in fact he felt honored that his lessons was what helped Ahsoka in the end.
"I do." Ahsoka said as she then bowed her head while putting her fist into her hand. "Thank you Master." Ahsoka said as she was grateful for the lessons Anakin taught her.
"Your welcome my Padawan." Anakin responded bowing to her and doing the same as the Wookie's began to take their leave. Once they did Andros began to head back to his ship but Anakin stopped him for a moment. "Thank you for not giving up." Anakin said to Andros who nodded to him and smiled as the Jedi were being Generous as to refuel his ship.
As Andros left he passed by Yoda who smiled to the Master and his Padawan before sending one over to Andros. As Andros took his leave he soon saw something nearby as he looked and saw someone sitting at the ledge nearby as he saw her in the Jedi Robes with a Lightsaber hanging from her belt. As she sat there Andros quickly stopped and recognized that look as he saw she had the Braid hanging from her hair. While Andros saw this he quickly recognized her and noticed how she looked off to the Horizon... much like many Knights and Alchemist did when the sun sets and sun rises.
When the Sun Sets its time to hunt the darkness, when the sun rises the Horrors you slay the night prior makes the sun rise much more meaningful. For the sun rise is a reminder to Knights that the people they protect are able to sleep soundly for another night. So when morning comes they are the many lives in whom they have saved from the Horror Scourge. Andros gave her a knowing look and walked to his ship as Phonon was waiting for him. Once he got in and the ship was refueled he began to take off and make his way to the Landing Pad so he can report to Veline.
But they will always remember that to their create that where is Light Shadows lurk and fear reigns, yet by the Blade of Knights the Galaxy was given hope.
