Once again Thank you to all who reviewed and I'm sorry for not having the best update record. I'm honestly having a little trouble getting inspiration for this story. So any suggestions would be more than welcome!
Review Responses:
ZELINIA: I just felt that, like you said, a fight between Qui Gon and Sadia using blades would be a little…..how did you put it…unfair, also a little unlikely since there's no way she'd have a lightsaber to begin with and I can't see the Jedi just hading her one even if it's for a mock duel. Thank you for being such a supporting reviewer. I can always count on a review form you. And they always make me smile!
special-buddy-zip: I'm glad that the chapter made you laugh! It certainly made me laugh when I was writing it! I've always felt that The Jedi from the Old Republic were quite cocky and that's partly why they were so easily defeated. A point I'm pretty sure Yoda talks about at on point or another…. Oh well whatever. I just wanted a little feminine kick-butt action! Thank you for reviewing, it definitely makes my day to read nice reviews .
Nianko: I'm sorry the story seems too Mary-Sueish.. It really wasn't my intention. This is my first story and I was trying to steer away form that but obviously I failed. sighs Oh well what can you do. I've always thought that most slayers at one point or another had bad-ass attitudes (including Buffy just not as bad as Faith) and that's part of what makes them what they are. I mean you can't have all that crap on your shoulders and deal with it, and deal with it and actually survive when most others die, and not get a little bit of an egotistical/bad-ass attitude. About her coming to the Jedi bit being too easy. She's not in the same world exactly as Buffy was. I mean the earth has changed and gotten much, much, worse and seeing how she's constantly on the move and has no friends like Buffy did I didn't want to make her seem heartless, just lonely but resilient. And honestly about Qui Gon getting the crap beat out of him. I just wanted to put the point across that Jedi aren't perfect. But I may have overdone it a little. I'll admit. But oh how I love female dominance! (there's actually a bit more of it in this chapter, though it's only touched upon) That's partly why the whole idea of slayers attracts me so much! It's always a woman! Well thank you for reviewing and I hope this chapter meets your expectations more. If not feel free to mention it.
Jas-TheMaddTexan: Lol. I just have a lot of problems with humanity and things like that and thought that the destruction of earth would be a good way to solve them….JOKING! I just have never seen anyone kill the earth off and wanted to do a first. Besides in this story there wasn't much of earth left anyway. What with the demons and pollution and all that shit. Thanks for reviewing!
KellseyKisaragi: Thank you for your support and review it brought a smile to my face!
Ok…I'll stop and go on with the blinking story!
Chapter 6
The days flew by and then the months, the council having decided to allow the slayer to grow accustomed to her new surroundings. After the incident in the gym, Sadia, Qui Gon and Obi Wan had been inseparable. This being said the council also decreed that the Master-Padawan team would add the slayer into their partnership. A order the two Jedi had been more than happy to obey. The trio spent most of their time learning from one another.
Whether it was Obi Wan teaching the other two more about spaceships (they soon discovered Qui Gon definitely needed a little refresher course when he blew up part of the ship he had been helping Sadia with.) or Sadia teaching Hand-to-hand combat. Qui Gon was in charge of instructing both on the art of the lightsaber. It had been decided that due to her previous experiences with swords, she should be trained to use one that couldn't be destroyed with a low grade blaster fire.
It was on a chilly morning in late October when the three were summoned before the Jedi council. The younger two of the trio were confused as to what the summons were for. But Qui Gon had a sinking feeling that their peaceful days were numbered. He could feel it in the air…..They were getting an assignment today. And from the chill going up his spine, it wouldn't be a good one. As the group approached the council chambers the great doors began to open, stepping into the room the two Jedi noticed that most of the council was present-strange for the simple task of an assignment announcement. Now Qui Gon wasn't the only one with a chill up his spine.
As usual Mace Windu began the meeting, "Jedi, Qui Gon, Obi Wan and ahem…guest…"
Sadia smirked at his obviously pleased that her presence irked the man so much. They hadn't gotten along too well since their first real meeting when Windu had made basically the same mistakes as Qui Gon had and….hadn't taken it as gracefully, to say the very least. In fact, he had landed on his ass in front of a whole class of Jedi initiates and hadn't exactly forgiven Sadia. If not exactly forgiving meant 'trying to make each others lives living hell'. So the fact that Mace was flustered during a council meeting, was a greatly treasured sight.
The fact that he began to smirk quickly whipped the moment away however.
'Wait….Mace Windu…smirking…not good.' The alarms went off in her head.
"The council," Mace finally continued, "Has decided to assign the three of you to Alderran. One of the royal children was kidnapped late last night and we're sending you three to recover him and to attempt to find how palace security was breeched." The meeting continued with basic info concerning the young prince (who was only about 8-how tragic) and travel plans. They were scheduled to leave in two days and immediately visit the palace to meet with the royals and to scope out the situation.
The trio soon left the council chambers and headed to their adjoining rooms. Sadia quickly said goodnight, having decided to eat in, pack and go to bed early. The Jedi's plan being much the same. After eating a quick meal, she pulled out her duffel and threw in a couple outfits along with certain 'necessities' and finally the crowning glory that took up most of the room, her weapons. Although she had learned to use many weapons of this galaxy, she refused to part with her old ones. Instead using a mixture of both. For instance now she carried her lightsaber along with her twin swords with crowbar ends and also had various daggers and violates in all sorts of hiding spots on her person.
Her last thought before plunging into sleep was, 'If I get patted down in the near future it's gonna take them a while.' She smiled crookedly before drifting off.
Ok…so maybe I don't like Mace Windu that much…. But in my defense, not many people do. So? R & R please people!
