* Awkward Awakening *
Kyp used all his physical strength to lift… well more like drag, the unconscious Yuuzhan Vong into his ship.
As he dropped the beast into the leather seat, Kyp saw something shiny held tightly between its fingers. Ignoring it for the moment, the Jedi Master closed the opening airlock he had created to get to the creature. Looking out the window into what was left of Jaina's X-wing, he knew it had to go. The controls inside no longer appeared to be anything but a pile of junk. All the wires and what had bee electrically active, now was only a collection of scattered and yet mangled pieces of metal. Even Jaina's favorite R2 unit had been mutilated.
Slamming his fist on the release detachment, Kyp watched the ship slowly peal away from his, drifting off into unending space.
A groan filled his ears. Spinning around the Jedi Master made sure the Yuuzhan Vong was securely strapped in, though by his appearance he didn't look feeble enough to lift a finger. He assumed that the lack of oxygen was probably the downfall of the Vong, but he wasn't particular to assumptions.
"Good morning. I see I got you out of that ship in the nick of time." Kyp falsely greeted the creature. The last thing he wanted to do was save such a hideous creature, but he had no choice. This *being* perhaps might be the only key in finding Jaina. "My name's Kyp Durron."
Barely as Kyp told the creature his name, the Vong's eyes flew open glaring daggers at him with his blood shot pupils. A sense of hate seeped through the room between the two and even without the Force the sense seemed to suffocate Kyp. Taking a deep breath, the Jedi Master fed off the feeling, breathing in the hatred the Vong had towards him. It would be of good use for later. He opened his mouth to asked who he was but the creature spoke before a noise could come from his mouth.
"Murderer!" the Vong's low deep voice hissed at him. The claim took Kyp aback.
"What?"
Now the creatures muscles began to tighten, but that was about all he could do for his strength obviously was not there. "You're the one who slaughtered the homestead of millions of Yuuzhan Vong offspring." The Jedi Master crossed both his arms and eyes, but let the creature continue his assertion. "She told me about you, about how you used her for your own personal gain. Clearly you must be a fool. Such a creature as her is a precious gift, not to be taken and throwing around like a second-hand—"
"W…" Kyp stopped and the comprehension of what he had done. He had been denying the truth the whole time, but Kyp could not believe it was true. *I had no other choice, * he debated with himself inside, but he knew the truth. Kyp had taken what trust Jaina had given him and tossed it aside as if she were nothing more than a breeze blowing by. The realization still did not over take his anger on the Yuuzhan Vong, though slowly the same odd feeling inside began to creep inside him like it had when he had held Luke Skywalker's child in his arms.
Trying to submit to his anger, the feeling only stayed, and Kyp, for the first time, felt guilty of what he had done.
But where did that leave him about fight against the Yuuzhan Vong? With one who had been with Jaina and possibly knew her whereabouts. His first thought, and intention had been after he got the information out of this thing, he would not have to listen to his horrible rotting sound any longer. Now it was somewhat different, but just a bit. "Please help me find Jaina. I need your help." Never in all his life, had Kyp ever even thought of asking the assistance of a Yuuzhan Vong, but it was his only choice.
"Why should I answer the very being who killed the harmless? You have no authority to order me to answer you."
"Please, I don't want to hurt her ever again, I just… whatever her future is I want it to be with her alive and safe back with her family."
"You have truth and fact of promise in your words, slaughterer." The thing paused. "If I do help you, you must promise not to harm her."
"On my death, I vow never to upset her again."
Nodding to the Jedi, a silent agreement past through the two. No longer did Kyp feel the need to get rid of this Yuuzhan Vong. He seemed more human than not. Maybe there was good in beings such as this one in their race as Anakin had claimed to be.
