Several hours later they were above Yavin IV. The bluish green planet look as beautiful as the first time Battarr saw it. Of course the first time he saw it he was under attack from space pirates.
"We're here." Battarr said as they dropped out of hyperspace.
"Oh my head…" Came Ryiss's voice from the back.
"That's to be expected."
"Ohhhhh…" said Ryiss as he held his head.
The Y-wing began to make its descent on Yavin IV and to its destination, Exar Kune's temple, which is now the secret base of the Rebel Alliance. As it got close the usual check for confirmation codes was made.
"Battarr Shod you are clear to land. Welcome back." Said the operator over the com.
The Y-wing began to slow down as it reached the hanger bay. As it entered two X-wings were being prepped for take off and engineers ran final checks on other ships. The Y-wing touched down and Battarr unfastened his set belt.
"You are to report to the General's office immediately." Said an engineer as Battarr slid down the ladder of the Y-wing.
"Ok. Think you can help this guy to a room?" Battarr asked as he pointed at Ryiss.
"Uh, sure." The engineer said as he signaled another engineer to help him.
Battarr laughed to himself and began to walk to the Generals office. He always got a weird feeling any time he was here. Like some thing was calling to him, but he always put these feelings aside and focused on what he needed to do. As he reached the door to the Generals he stopped and took off his cloak and set it on a chair next to the door. He was wearing, what he called his usual Bounty Hunter's outfit, a decorative red and black vest, and as pair of airwaver armor pants. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Came the Generals voice from inside the room.
Battarr opened the door and entered. There was another man in the room besides the General. He wore a black tunic and black leggings. He had a heavy duty belt on that, to Battarr surprise had a lightsaber hilt attached to it. His hair was black as well and he had brown eyes. He looked to be in his early twenties and had a grin on his face.
"Ah, Battarr good to see you again. I'd like you to meet Jaiden Aaron, one of the Jedi that has been helping the Rebellion."
Jaiden held out his hand and Battarr shook it.
"Nice to meet you." He said as he shook Battarr's hand.
"Same here." Said Battarr as he released his hand.
"Please sit down." Said the General as he gestured to the two chairs.
The two men took a set and look at the General as he fell back in his chair.
"Now, as I understand it, you two know who Darth Vanoss is."
Battarr shifted uneasily in his chair at that name.
"Yes." The two men said in unison.
"Well we believe he is looking for something. He has been moving around the galaxy in a very odd pattern, and fast. What ever he is looking for, he wants it now."
"He is looking for the Matarr Ring." Said Battarr as he looked at his feet. "I don't know what that is, but,"
"It a powerful sith artifact." Jaiden broke in. "It is believed to give the wearer extremely powerful force powers. It was thought destroyed, but I guess Vanoss must have found something that told him other wise, maybe a Sith Holocron."
"Well whatever it is, we can't let him get it. If he or Vader got that ring it might be the end of the Rebel alliance. I want you two to find it before he does, and bring it to me."
"Anything that strong in the dark side can not be kept, it must be destroyed." Said Jaiden.
The general leaded back in his chair and thought about this. "Very well, destroy it if you must, but make sure Vanoss can not get his hands on that ring."
"He wont," Battarr said reassuringly.
"Good, dismissed."
The Bounty Hunter and the Jedi got up and walked out of the office.
As the door closed Battarr turned to Jaiden. "So were should we start looking Jedi?"
Jaiden looked to take offence to this comment, but said nicely. "I think we should check with an old friend of mine."
"And were might this old friend be?" Battarr asked with a grin.
"Dantooine," Jaiden said as he began to walk back to the hanger.
"Sounds like fun." Battarr laughed as he followed.
