Star Wars
Reincarnated as a Tooka
A Isekai Star Wars story
Part 3e – The Relic
I found this relic when I was a child, I think I was about eleven at the time. I took it to the Keeper of Balkaven Hall with my parents, they wanted to pay me handsomely for it, but I liked it too much I wanted to keep it. Now I know why. I think the Force wanted me to keep it.
- Undryl Stathe, Corellia, 21 days before Battle of Geonosis
Reaching her paw into the safe she picked up the hilt, she had what she needed. Turning from the safe she hopped to the floor from the top of the chair, landing easily on her feet. "Alright Jedi Master, give me the facts of this weapon please. I know it is a weapon, but what kind of weapon is it ? Why was I so intent on Shianniah taking it to Bodgey ?"
"Answer: The hilt you hold in your hand is called a Forcesaber, using the raw power of the Force and emotions of the user to power the blade directly instead of like a common lightsaber. A forcesaber is a means of channeling the Force directly into a weapon instead of using the Force as a tool"
"So then I can easily use this without needing delicate electronics ?" Undryl thought.
"Answer: Yes"
"Now that I have this, will it work, or will I have to fix it ?" Undryl then asked
"Answer: Yes and no, Yes it will work, and no, fixing it wont be required, however, complete cleaning might be needed. Advisment, Force Signature detected heading to the bedroom door. Advise caution."
"Thanks I sensed it too. Now let me hide" A flick of the wrist and the safe closed and Undryl scampered to the side of the door, away from sight. And did her best to hide her own force signature, but she had no idea how. She felt that the person on the otherside of the door did not feel like someone she knew. "Who is that ?" why were they coming directly to her bedroom ?
"Answer: Unknown, force signature is strong however, advice caution" Came the reply. "Friend or foe detection successful, Force Signature belongs to that of Nyxia la Masou" Undryl relaxed and unlocked the bedroom door.
"I was wondering when you'd show up." She said to Nyxia as the dooir slid open
"Master Baozi said you might need my help." Nyxia said, she saw Undryl holding the hilt. But it was not activating. "What is that ?"
"A Relic, a Forcesaber I think. I can feel some strength in it, but it wont activate for me, yet. I am going to clean it while aboard Tooge's ship." Undryl said, clipping the weapon to her belt and going to the window that overlooked the production line. "This never grows old. Even though I am dead. I heard the production was stopped when I died ?"
"Yes, its been shut down since your death, Undryl Stathe, the woman you were, was well loved by the company and her family" Nyxia had been told everything by both her master, and Undryl the Tooka. "Master Tang said you were quite pretty when you appeared on the Holonet."
"The rare times when I did" Undryl was only slightly shy over the mention of the times being on the holonet. Not that it was a bad thing she didnt mind that in the slightest. But some of the holonet reporters she didnt like much if at all. Snooty uptight freaks of nature she felt at times.
But now she was a freak of nature, or was she ? She wasnt a human woman anymore. But she wanted to be one again, even if she had to be shorter than she used to be. As a human she measured a bit over two meters tall, like the rest of her family. But as a Tooka she was barely a meter and a half tall.
But then she felt, she couldnt call herself a freak of nature, far from it infact. Infact, if she had to call herself something it was a Ghost. A random point of the Force that really didnt have anywhere to anchor down at.
"Who was Master Tang ?" Undryl asked to Nyxia as the younger woman came to her side and the two looked down over the production line of the Cr90 corvette down below them.
"Master Lionda Tang, my first Master after the Padawan Trials. She took me on before her trials offically started, but still wanted to see how I did in combat, and other matters with other Padawans. She was a good woman. I dont know if she survived the attack or not, but she insisted I return to Coruscant as fast as possible to give my report. Her report. I havent seen her since." Nyxia said
"How long ago was that ?" Undryl asked her
"Master Baozi took me on three months ago, coruscant time. Before that I was without a Master for a year at the Temple, tempoarily working with Master Yoda on various missions. Master Tang was my first Master, I was with her for sixteen years." Nyxia counted down on things. "So its been almost two years since I last saw her"
"If there were a chance she were alive somewhere, cut off from the Force, or from technology, could to hold onto that hope ?" Undryl asked, how was she getting so deep all of a sudden ?
"I have always held out hope Master Tang was alive somewhere, even if cut off from the Force." Nyxia replied. "But I cannot remember the name of the planet we were on to save my life."
"Memory loss is not an easy thing to deal with, I can understand that easily" Undryl repolied, she placed a paw on the womans hip as if in reassurance. "Dont worry, the Force will guide, if all else fails, trust it. Like I have been. So far it hasnt lead me astray. I found my Relic, you found me. Hopefully it will help you find Master Tang" Undryl said simply. Nyxia hoped she was right.
Finally, after a moment, Undryl said "Has Baozi begun the investigation ?"
"No" Nyxia said with a shake of her head, "He wanted to clear up things with your parents concerning your code. He said he wanted to try and ensure it was a vlaid code for the Jedi to use as they saw fit"
"Where is my human body now ?" Undryl asked
"In repose behind closed doors in your parents main guest area" Nyxia said jerking her thumb towards the bedroom door. "If you want we can meet him outside where your body is laid ?"
"Let us meet him directly, we can make plans from there. I have what I need from here, and from the smell of things, my pet Nexu, Tapia, might mistake you for prey. Come, shall we ?" Undryl said, the two women then headed from the room as the door slid open without a sound.
