Chapter 2
Back on the Scaled Spectre, Lucky is sitting with Bluefire in her quarters. Since the two of them are dating, he stays over in her quarters usually after missions or she with him. Tonight however, he lies on the bed, wearing nothing but a pair of sleeping pants, as Mika walks up and lies beside him in a pair of boxers and a long tee shirt.
"How are you doing love?" she asks him in Twi'lek as she lays her head on his chest.
"I'm doing fine." he responds to her in Twi'lek as he places a hand on her shoulder "Just thinking on what happened today."
"I know, I am sorry that you lost her. I knew what she meant to you." Mika says to him as she snuggles when he puts his arm around her. "You cared for her like a daughter." she adds as Richard nods.
"I did, and I promised her family that nothing would happen to her, but." and he falls silent as he looks down at her. "But I failed at that." he adds finally.
"You did all that you could love, but you are not a Jedi, you had no way to help her in hyperspace." she says as she runs her hands over his chest to get him in a cheerful mood.
"I know. I am not a Jedi, but I could have come up with something. If only I had paid more attention, maybe she would be here," he says in a sore mood. "I'm sorry you have to hear me like this Mika. I have lost many friends, but she was close to me. She looked up to me as a father more then anything." he says, "I am normally not bothered by this. It's what she said that bothers me more then anything."
Mika looks at him as he talks "And what was that dear." she asks as he looks at her and blinks.
Lucky then starts to cry for the first time since being with Dewback Wing and Mika is the first to see it. "She said 'I love you.' and he looks "That was the last thing she said to me. Whenever I close my eyes, I see that moment and hear those words," he says. "There is a lot that people do not know about me, even something that I have not told you or Pappy," he says to her as he talks in the darkness of Mika's bed.
Mika looks and moves up with her face next to his and begins to wipe the tears away "It's ok to cry. You need to cry sometimes," she says to him. "And your past can wait till you are in a better condition. I am in love with the person I see and I know that he is a good person, no matter what has happened to him in the past."
Lucky smiles as he stops crying finally and looks at her, "I love you Mika." he says to her "I love you greatly and deeply and I would never let anything happen to you." Then he gives her a very passionate kiss and holds her against him as they fall asleep in each other's arms.
Morning comes and Mika wakes up alone in bed. Rubbing her eyes as she yawns and hears a noise in the other room. She blinks a few times, as she reaches for a knife she has hidden next to her bed, since she has no idea who or what is in her room. Slowly, she listens and the noise changes slightly, but does not move closer. She crawls out of bed and moves along the wall as she stops at the corner and pokes her head around the wall and her jaw drops as she sees."Richard." She says as the knife drops to the floor and she looks at him blinking.
Lucky blinks as he turns to see Mika's expression "Good morning good looking." he says to her as he lowers the item and shuts off the object. "I take it you are wondering what I was doing?" and Mika nods as she walks forward to look at the object and then into his eyes. "As I said, I have many secrets that not many know of. This is just one," he says as he points to the object.
"Lucky dear," says Mika "I think you need to tell me what is going on." and she gives him a kiss on the cheek "Or else I will have to hurt you."
Richard nods "Yes dear, but should I tell you now or after the hurting?" and he chuckles some as Knight rolls into the room and beeps to Richard. "Yes Knight, what is it?" and the droid beeps that he has received a message. "I have? From who?" he asks and the droid beeps a response.
Knight beeps to him as the droid rolls over to the interface and its scomp link comes out and connects to the jack. With a few beeps, the message appears on screen:
"Richard Tan, this is Ly Mantok. Just seeing how you are
doing and would like to speak with you on a matter that is quite
urgent. Contact me as soon as possible."
"That's the message?" Mika asks as she reads it, while Lucky looks at it and thinks.
"Actually, it is, but it isn't." he says, "Not many people know I am alive. Everyone thinks that Del Indigo is busy scouting the galaxy, and that Richard Tan is dead," he says as he types a few buttons and the message changes and it is replaced by something else. "However, I believe this is the message," he says to her. After he types a few on the datapad, he nods to Knight "Play it again Knight" he says to his Astromech:
"Richard Tan, I bring you greetings. You do not know me,
but due to you and your friends, I have lost much. I will make
you and your friends pay for what happened to me on Bajukai. I
am coming for you and for them. Goodbye."
As the message stops, a timer appears on the screen. Mika notices it just as Richard does and they look at each other. Lucky is the first "Sithspawn." he says as he yells "Knight, unplug your." and before he can finish, Mika pulls him behind the wall as the terminal explodes. Sending them to the floor in a pile as the fire alarm goes off due to the smoke in Mika's quarters.
Mika is the first to stand and she notices the damage and sees Knight "Oh no." she says as Richard gets up and feels his face, where it was cut by a piece of debris. Richard looks at her and holds her as he survey's the damage and is sighs "Now it is personal." he says as he sees his Astromech Knight smoking, taking the full blast of the explosion.
He walks over to the droid and sees the damage as he grabs the object and places it in a bag on the floor. "Go change Mika." he says, "Security will be here in a moment." He puts on a shirt and walks to the door and sighs "Damn," he says as he sees it jammed and he hears Crash and a few other crew members on the other side other side of the door.
"Bluefire, Lucky. You two ok in there?" asks the Mon Calamari pilot.
"We are fine Crash, the door is jammed." Richard says as Mika returns to his side and looks at his face.
"Richard, your face." she says to him as she places a hand on the cut.
"I'll be fine, it's just a small wound." he says.
"Hold on, we'll get this door open," says Crash as he talks back.
The sound of a cutter is heard on the door as the Astromech Droids and maintenance personal work on the door. Richard looks at Mika "I'm going to go take care of this person. He just made a wrong move." Mika looks at him.
"Well, I am coming also. I do not like being shot at in my own room just after waking up." she says and Lucky nods.
"Some of the people are sort of strange," he says and she looks at him.
"Oh, and that object isn't?" she says as she taps it.
"Point." he says "And it's a Lightsaber." he says as they look and the door opens with guards and everyone on the deck, including Pappy. "We are fine, but my droid isn't." he says to them as he exits. "Let me get changed, and I'll be with you in a few Pappy" and he exits to his quarters for a quick change of cloths and then heads to talk to Pappy.
Within the quarters of Xian D'Kar, a figure moves quietly. The figure looks around as it sets up the item he was hired to do and has it adjusted towards her bed, and the door to her room. The figure then exits and looking to make sure everything is normal walks down the hallway as if nothing has happened.
"Lieutenant," says a young crew member, "We have a problem with one of the sensor arrays."
The person turns and nods "Well, what wrong, and lets see if we can get it fixed before we make our next jump." she says to him as she walks with him to the lower sensor array.
* * *
Xian D'Kar enters her quarters after hearing the message from the information merchant, and retreats to think about what was said, and the events that are starting to unfold. She stops to look at herself in the mirror, and sees the reflection of someone. The image of the person, she once was fades, and replaced by a reflection of her current self. "So long ago." she says as he turns for her room. She enters her room, closing the door as she gets ready to meditate and does not notice the device in her room. As turns, she hears the noise and moves as the blaster bolt fires out at her.
Rolling in her room, she blinks as she looks for the device and pulls her saber, igniting it with a snap-hiss. She stands and opens herself to the Force and spins to block the shot that came from the corner of her room. The device moves forward as it begins to fire repeatedly at her and she deflects the bolts back to I and away from her.
With a flick of her eyes, she lifts a chair and sends it at he thing and it hits. The device turns to fire at the chair and Xian rushes forward and swings, hitting the device and removing one of its arms. Sparks fly out from the arm and the droid turns and tries to knock her over and manages to hit her, knocking her aside as it moves. Xian rolls with the hit, comes to a stop next to the wall, swings her saber at the incoming bolt, and manages to deflect it, just by a margin of a few inches. She sets her left foot, and pivots on it, her blade coming down at the droids midsection and cutting it in half. The droid drops into a pile of two pieces and she looks at it as she turns on the lights. She thinks about what Talon Karrde said, and rushes out her room as a group of security comes in as she is leaving. "In the room, hold it until I return." and she exits her quarters heading for Aurin's room. The security personal blinking and watching as she leaves quickly.
The man known as Admiral, or Captain as he likes to be called, sits in his room with a datapad in front of him. He looks up as the sound of his comlink goes off. He picks up the comlink as he thumbs it on. "Yes?" he says into it.
"Sir, their has been a disturbance within Miss D'Kar's room." says the voice on the other end.
"Oh, what kind of disturbance?" asks Aurin.
"Security reports that a blaster went off and they have found the remains of an Assassin Droid."
"Aurin looks and blinks, picking up his stun cane and his blaster, as he begins to look around his room "Is she harmed?" he asks as he makes his way towards the door after checking his room out?
"She is fine and left her room in a hurry, telling security to keep the droid in her room."
"I see. Notify security to do a ship wide search of the ship." he says as he opens the door "And tell them to be on guard for any other attacks."
As the door opens, a blaster bolt goes off at the Admiral's chest and he is thrown back into the room and the door shuts as the person walks off and enters a room. As the figure leaves the hallway, Xian runs up and sees the Admiral's door open. She skids to a halt, Lightsaber out and thumbs it on. She looks around the door and blinks as she sees the body of Aurin lying with a smoking chest.
"Admiral." she yells as she rushes forward and grabs his comlink. "Medical, get a team to the Admiral's quarters. He has been injured," she yells into the comlink as she tries to stabilize him with the Force. She closes her eyes and using the Force to help her, begins to transfer its energy into the Admiral. After a few moments, a security team arrives, with doctors in tow and they look.
"What is the meaning." says a women Lieutenant as she sees the Admiral "Quickly, get him to medical." she says as the medics arrive and Xian stands and turns, comlink in hand.
"Take the Admiral to Medical and I want a round the clock guard on him." She then turns on the comlink in her hand "Communications," says the young Jedi "Send a transmission to Rebel High Command about the attack, and also send a message to Richard Tan." She thinks then changes her decision, "Correction, find out Richard Tan's location and plot an intercept course. We will inform him of what has happened in person." She then turns and looks "Full security search of the ship." she says "and I want to know anything that is found." Xian looks at the Lieutenant and says nothing as she turns "I'll be on the Bridge." she says to her as she exits and thumbs her own private comlink.
"XR, J5" she says into the comlink "I want the two of you to stand guard on the Hyper Bantha and the Hyper Dewback. J5, seal the Bantha and allow no one but the Admiral and myself onboard. XR, I want you to make something for me," Xian says as she heads for the bridge.
Onboard the bridge of the Super Star Destroyer Daedelus, Rear Admiral Daalima Vix sits and looks around as her ship gives chase to the Scaled Spectre. She sits there, watching everything as it happens on the Bridge and looks over "Time till we exit Hyperspace?" she asks as she looks at the officer.
"Ma'am, we will arrive within two minutes." he says as he turns back to look over the information from the sensors.
Daalima sits and thinks, as she recalls the message she received from the Cloud. The Cloud, known as the backwards home of people, and a place where the Galaxy forgot a part of itself. She pulls up the image of the women in her mind as she listens. "Have Reek Squadron ready for launch upon arriving." she says as she will be ready for anything.
"I can give you those you want." says Thysa Kymbo "I have a specific reason for wanting them dead. I want only a single person and you can have the rest."
"And why should I, help someone like you. Who could not even stop a Rebellion before it even started?" was the response of the Admiral.
"Because, I can give you Dewback Wing, in return for something," she says with an evil smirk.
"Really, and why would you want to give me them, when I can locate them without any help?"
"Because, I want something, rather someone who is a part of that group. If you help me, I will help you. I can tell you right now, that they are located close to your location, but I will not give you any more information." and Thysa looks at her "Do we have a deal?"
Daalima thinks on this "Your offer is tempting, but I need something before I can agree to this deal that you are offering." she says "For all I know, you could be sending me and my ship into a Trap."
"I see that you are the ever so safe Rear Admiral." states Thysa. "Fine. I gill give you information on the location of the Scaled Spectre, and in return, you will help me destroy one Richard Tan." she says. "And in the process, we remove a group that has been a blaster in our sides for some time." and Thysa cackles as Daalima nods, a smirk crossing her face.
"I will help you, but mark my word. If you double cross me, I will be sure to remove you from the Galaxy. Send me the information. Daalima out." and she turns off the holopad and rises from his chair and exits for the bridge.
It has been six hours since receiving the information and four hours since she sent a scout ship to the coordinates to make sure all was correct and that they where their. "Has our scout ship reported in yet?" she asks.
"Not yet ma'am. But if the Rebel fleet is there, it might be waiting for a chance to send the sensor information." says the tactical officer as Daalima nods and says nothing in return. She looks out the screen to the stars as they are stretched while in Hyperspace and thinks more.
She does not like waiting and this is making every inch of her skin crawl. The waiting is always the hard part to any mission. Not knowing if this is a trap and with the way, the information was delivered. She stands and moves around the bridge of the Daedelus, as she looks at each crew member. She has no doubt that they will do the best that they can and some will do better. This is the only thing that has her mind taken off the upcoming battle.
She moves to helm and hands there, hands in the small of her back. "I want to be out of Hyperspace when we are 2 minutes from arrival," she says to the officer who nods and watches the timer countdown. Daalima nods in return and returns to her chair as she pulls up information on the Cloud and reads more about this Thysa Kymbo
