Lightsabers and Brands chapter 12.
A force to be reckoned with.


"Shawn are you sure this is a Newman? He looks more of a treefrog to me. You have been known to make mistakes."
"Sniper, shut up! I'm human, I'm entitled to make mistakes."
"You're probably right,as usual."

The two jedi looked as the strangers bickered.
"Mercenary, you are not?" Yoda began.
It did caught Shawn's attention, "Technically, I am a mercenary,as I'll do a job if I am paid for it. My job is to protect Anakin Skywalker."
"Who paid you?" the coloured jedi asked.
"I am unable to disclose that information, but I can assure you the person doesn't want to harm Anakin."
"Trust your judgement, I do."
"Hey Shawn, you changed the subject!"
Shawn sighed, and turned to his partner, "I did not change the subject."
"You did!"
"I did not."
"YOU DID!"
"I did not!"
"You did not."
"Indeed, I knew you see it my way."
"I hate you."
"Same here."
"I could kill you."
"If you tried, I would kick your ass.You'd lose."
"Artic and Sparky won against you."
"Once and just barely." Shawn pointed out, "Their tactic was good, with Artic battling me and Sparky using the water as conducter."
"Myth wasn't happy though," Sniper remarked.
Shawn winced at the mention, "Yes, She placed them in hospital for..how long?"
"Six months, and they still are feeling the effects."
"She did go insane, didn't she?"
"Yeah, she even attacked the other hunters nearby, who tried to help them."
"She is very protective of me."
"I consider it fortunately that she is still on Pioneer."
"Don't say that!"
"Don't tell me you want her here."
"I don't, but you now that gods like to toy with us, mere mortals. She'll probably appear right here."

A voice came from the temple, "SHAWNY, YOU'RE HERE!"
Both yedi and the Hunters looked.
"I told you," Shawn muttered.
In a black and red dress and her hair in a braid, just like Shawn, Myth ran towards the two.
She lashed out and grapped Shawn's arm.
"Shawny, what are you doing here?"
"We could ask you the same," Sniper said.
Myth glared, "What are YOU doing here?"
Shawn sighed, he sensed an upcoming argument, any argument with Myth usually ended in manslaughter. he was right.
"I arrived here with him and..."
"What do you mean 'arrived with him'?"
"Just like I said."
"Eh, guys, do you have to do this?" Shawn asked.
"YES!" They replied.
"Fine, but no killing and try to be gentle to your surroundings."
Shawn walked to the two jedi, "Maybe we can talk now, without interuption."
"Is it safe to allow them to continue?" The human jedi asked.
Shawn looked behind him, Sniper and Myth were battling each other in a way that defied logic.
"For us, yes, they won't kill each other."
"And you know this because?"
"We are a team, maiming might be an option but no killing."
"Other team-mates are there?"
"Maybe, although I hope for their sake, that they won't meet Myth anytime soon."
"And why is that?"
"They harmed me in the past and she is protective of me. She beat them to an inch to death and she still holds a grudge against them.This is holding back."

The trio watched the battle for awhile.
"You called Yoda a 'Newman' earlier, what is a Newman?"
"A Newman is an alien, humanoid except for the ears and the strange clothing they prefer. Yoda looks like one, except he is green, it could have been caused by mutation."
"What is your relation with young Skywalker?"
"To be honest, I consider him like a son. His mother wanted me to protect him, especially now that he has been attack by that dark cloaked fellow."
"Battled the Sith, you did?"
"Yes, he said I had much anger."
"Were you?"
"Of course, if somebody attacked your child, you'd be pissed too."
Shawn looked at the battle, Sniper had his raingun and Myth used a saber, they were still fighting.
"Skilled, your team-mates are," Yoda said.
Shawn smiled, "Yes, they are, and the team isn't complete yet."
The other jedi was shocked, "This isn't the whole team?"
"This team has four members, Myth was around us most of the time and after a while she became part of the team. Sniper you've met, his skill to weild any firearm is quite impressive. Artic, as the name implies, has opted for freezing techniques. and the last member is Voltage, you can quess his abilities."
"And your name is?"
"I am known as 'Inferno', master of the living flame, and captain of the team."
"What abilities does the girl have?"
"Myth uses all types of basic attacks, she's the only one who can uses Dark and Light spells. So she is a good addition to the team."
"GRANTS," a voice shouted, "TAKE THAT!"
"That was one of the dark and light spell I told you about," Shawn said, "HEY, Myth, I SAID NO KILLING."
"He will make it, unfortunately."
"He is still a teammember."
"I don't care."
"Heal him, and kick his ass again."
"I never thought of that before, RESTA!"
Sniper looked up to see Myth power up another spell.
He ran up to her to catch by surprise.
"Sniper, Myth, stop right now," Shawn said, "Our situation is still unknown and we don't know about others that may have arrived here."
Shawn turned to the two jedi, who were still a little shocked about the skill they just witnessed, "Can we take this confersation somewhere else?"
Yoda nodded, " Follow us to the council, you will?"
Sniper was about to interupt, if it wasn't for Myth,"Yes, Master."
They were led inside the temple.
"Master?" Shawn asked.
Myth looked at the captain, "It is a rank, they are the most skilled in the way of the force."
Sniper snorted, "You are teaching them?"
"The force is their name for mana, chi, those things."
"I see, how good are they?"
"Very good, they are able to use it to enhance their body, mind control and more."
"I assume you train in this art as well?"
"Yes, I am still a trainee though."
"How long have you been here?"
"Four days, another Force opened Ryuker and it pulled me in."
Shawn's eyes narrowed a bit.
"What is it?" Myth asked woried
"Sniper and I arrived on a planet called Tatooine, I had a transporter accident and he lost focus on his Ryuker while battling a Hildebear. Somebody or something wants us here. I assume Artic and Voltage will be here soon too."
"But why?"
"I don't know, but this team has forbidden techniques, each of us has skills no other Hunter has. It has to be something like that."
"Maybe it is the will of the Force? It is sentient after all."
"The will of the Force, don't tell me this nonsense," Sniper said.
"It may be nonsense, but it may be not," Shawn said, "We can't make a clear statement about it yet."
The group entered an elevator.
They stalled their conversation.
The doors opened, a small boy looked at the trio before launching himself to the leader of the group, "Shawn!"
Shawn's eyes softed, "Hi, Annie," and he returned the hug.
