* Kindled by a Killer *
Strolling into the cafeteria Feng Shui saw no other being in the room. All the lights had been dimmed giving the room a haunted look, but the appearance didn't give the young masked Yuuzhan Vong a thought about turning around. He was here for the human.
Pretending he was in search for food, his hand landed on the refrigerator and was about to open it when he heard the faint sound of someone crying. Turning to the side, he saw only darkness. Squinting harder he made out the rough shape of what appeared to be the human female.
Dashing to her side, he put a tender hand on her shoulder. The whole comforting thing was so unnatural to him, but somehow something drove him to actually act kind to a human. "Hey, are you alright? What happened?" He quickly reworded his question.
"How can innocent children die?"
"What?" The question took him aback and confused him. The translator bug in his ears told him the meaning of the word, though never in his life had he heard it before. "How?" Feng asked still confused.
"By people like me falling into traps of manipulated truths and believing in lies." Suddenly, Jaina jumped off the ground and he matched her speed. Her Jedi robe was covered in the wetness of tears.
Reaching out he tried to comfort her, still perplexed by what she was trying to tell him.
She allowed him to wrap his arm around her as she spoke. "I flew across the galaxy to find Kyp Durron for my uncle, Luke Skywalker, and instead of going back like I said I would, I stayed and listened to the false words Kyp told me about what the Yuuzhan Vong were doing in the Sernpidal system. He led me on, and I helped him gain the support of the Rogue Squadron and Wedge too! I led them into killing a harmless shelter were millions of Yuuzhan Vong offspring… children lived. I murder them all because I believed him." All at once tears began to spill out of her eyes like a waterfall. No longer could she hold in the pain even though she had been crying for three hours. "He used me." She whispered in her into his shoulder.
Holding on to the female in an embrace, Feng did his best to follow out his mission. He just stood there holding her till she couldn't cry anymore, and without warning collapsed into his arms in an unbreakable sleep making the task that was given to him a lot easier that he anticipated.
Without another moment to loose he carried her to the hanger bay where an X- Wing lay. Making sure no one saw him, he got her strapped in the back, and jettisoned out of the bay in one quick flash.
Everything had been quiet for over a few hours when he suddenly heard a weak voice echo behind him. "What… how… where am I?"
Not bothering to take a glace at the human, he kept his eyes trained on the empty space of stars beyond the cockpit window. "We're on our way into, as what you beings call, Yuuzhan Vong space."
Jaina's eyes widened in fear. Her back was turned towards whomever was flying the ship, though his voice sounded strangely familiar, fear and anger rose in her. "Kyp turn this thing a—" All of the sudden the whole ship began to shake violently and the red warning lights began to go on and off, buzzing loudly in their ears. "Sith spawn! What's the m—" but Jaina's sentence was cut off. Grabbing the controls she yelled. "Here give me the power."
"You think I have no brain infidel? That you are so much smarter and inferior with your pathetic Force enchantment?"
"Listen Kyp, shut up and stop playing Vong. We won't be able to get out of this alive or where you want to go if you don't…. just give me controls. I'll put us back on course. And you know that, trust me. You can as easily take it away as you can give it to me." She was answered by only silence. "Hey, think faster or there won't be any point in thinking about this." Without another moment, her panel lit up with power. Flicking a few switches and pressing a few buttons, Jaina jerked the control back and forth causing the beings inside the ship to fling back and forth but soon the rockiness turned into a smooth and steady glide. That's when all the illumination dissipated from the her controls and shifted back to Kyp's.
"Ok, fine be that way. So why in Kessel did you want me here Kyp? Please tell me it's not to kill more innocent cause I'm not into that. And if it's for more pleasure reasons than not then you're sliding up the wrong leg."
"I'm not Kyp."
Frowning, Jaina thought harder. Who in the galaxy would kidnap her for anything besides Kyp? He was the only one with the motive. Her eyes wandered as she thought harder on who was talking to her. Her vision came to a stop on a shiny piece of metal. Squinting, she made out the reflection of a head and broad shoulders of a tall humanoid that had the skin color of Tatoonie's desert sands. "Who are you?" she ordered.
All of the sudden the Holo panel illuminated and an image of a head to shoulder's view of her predator appeared hovering before her. "Oh, Force." She muttered under her breath.
He wasn't a humanoid at all… but a Yuuzhan Vong.
His glowing green eyes studied her fine face on the Holo. "Sorry to displease you for not being this Kyp fellow, but S—" but she was unable to hear the rest of what he was saying as her head thwarted against the side of the ship, and she plummeted into darkness.
