Trowa POV
Ebon Hawk
As the Ebon Hawk was traveling through hyperspace that really cool tunnel of light that still mind boggles me how all this works. Exiting the cockpit, I decided I should check up on our guest mainly the people Xion brought with her before checking up on Judson.
As I was heading to the main hold, I passed the communications room and noticed two people inside that I recognized that I was surprised to see. {Hey, master look. It's that Jester guy! We should try talking to him again; maybe he'll say something funny.} insisted Tamamo.
Walking into the room I find both Deadeye Duncan and Gerlon Two-fingers. "Gerlon, Duncan! How the heck did you two wind up here?"
Gerlon who was looking up some reports on the Halonet with an image of Taris on the screen turns to me with a smile standing up. "Well if it isn't the Lone Wander. I figured I find you here if I followed that white-haired girl." Gerlon holds his hand out as I do the same as we shake.
Duncan turns to me with a smile as well. "Wanderer, it's good to see you."
Wait he is? "You are. I thought you hated me?"
Duncan merely laughs it off. "Oh that. Don't worry about it. Water under the bridge. Besides, I should think you. If I had never met either you or the Stranger then your friend probably wouldn't have offered us a way off the planet."
{Ewww…he is happy. Oh boo…quick kick him in the shin!} joyfully insisted Tamamo.
Choosing to ignore that. "Anyone else here from the dueling ring."
"Yeah Ice, Marl, and Twitch are here. There are a few others here like the doctor Zelka, as for the others I don't recognize them. I believe I saw Marl talking with the Stranger." Mentioned Gerlon.
Zelka is here? I guess Xion went out of her way to get the good doctor. "I see thanks. Well, I'm off to the Med Bay. Take care you two."
Waving to the two of them I head into the central hub. I have to say the Ebon Hawk certainly is nice gives me the original Star Wars feel like I'm on the Millennium Falcon. But it certainly feels smaller than my sister's MKII. Taking a look around the room I see a few of the Twi'lek slaves gathered around. I also spot Shay conversing with Marl, Judson trying to talk with Ice but failing as she is mostly ignoring him and…Kebla? Oh yeah, she was the owner of the equipment emporium and she with her droid. Looks like she is headed to the garage guess Xion brought her too.
Choosing to head to the medbay I pass by them though I catch the end of their conversation. "Once again thank you, Stranger. Had it not been for your friend, I and everyone here would be dead." Thanked Marl.
"No need to thank me, it was all Xion's idea. It never crossed my mind that the Sith would bombard the planet." Replied Shay.
"Either way thank you, Stranger. Now I can finally think about retirement. Dantooine sounds like a nice peaceful place." Said Marl.
Moving past the two I walked into the medical noting how small it is, cramped even. I find both Judson who is laying on the bed sore and Zelka checking up on him. "Judson! I heard you got hurt. Are you all right?"
Judson winces a bit but gives a pained smile. "Don't worry about it. It just hurts when I move. Damn, that bounty hunter bastard did a number on me."
"Please don't move. You'll aggravate your wounds. Just let the bacta do its job." Admonished Zelka.
"So where is my sister? I thought she came back here to treat you?" I asked.
Zelka then turns to me. "Ah, Trowa it's good to see you again. If your referring to the other redhead I asked her to help treat my other two patients. You recall the two Republic soldiers I was taking care of. When the bombardment started Xion arrived with two others telling me to come with her if I wanted to escape. Not one to leave my patients she agreed to help transport the soldiers. Of course, carrying them between the two of us or the two women she brought would be very strenuous but lucky us a silver droid appeared offering to help. Xion recognized it as a droid owned by your sister and it carried both soldiers for us while we made our escape."
A silver droid? Must be that HK droid we met on the MKII. I wonder if it's on the ship, maybe it's cloaked. "So where are Xion and my sister at right now?" I asked.
"Your sister should be in the port dormitory with Xion in the starboard dormitory." Said Zelka.
"Thanks. See yeah guys" Waving goodbye to them I head to the port dormitory.
Arriving at the port dormitory I see Ikiryo treating the two soldiers laying on the bed using her magic if her hands glowing is any indication. "Big Sis! How are you doing?"
Ikiryo's hands stop glowing as she wipes her forehead of sweat. "Little Vod. It's good to see you unharmed." Ikiryo walks over to me hugging me kissing me on the forehead.
{Umm…Ikiryo-sama not to interrupt but now that we're off the planet can we officially join the group please.} asked/begged Tamamo.
Ikiryo takes a thinking pose. "Technically I suppose to only do it when we arrive at Dantooine but I'm feeling generous so as long no one sees you it's fine. Only Xion can know you're here for obvious reasons of course. This of course extends to Kiyohime so be sure to inform them first then I reestablish mana connection once you get back here."
I could practically feel Tamamo's glee as she thanks Ikiryo profusely urging me to hurry and get Xion and Kiyohime. Not wasting time, I head to the other dormitory. Along the way, I ran across the Twi'lek woman who sold us T3 talking with Shay and Sarna.
Entering the Dormitory, I find three occupants in the room Zaalbar, Mission, and Xion. From the looks of it, Mission and Xion are arguing while Zaalbar is simply standing back awkwardly hoping to not get involved. "You saved all these people so why you didn't save Gadon and Zaerdra!" yelled Mission.
"I told you Mission I simply didn't have the time to go to the Lowercity! By the time I arrived at the droid shop the ships started to fire. All I could do was grab who I could and book it back to the apartments. Besides, there wasn't a point in going down there anyway." Explained Xion.
Mission grows increasingly angry. "No point! You just didn't want to save any of them. If you did you could have brought us with you? We could have split up. I could have gone to the Lowercity and got Gadon and Zaerdra and…"
"It would have been a fool's errand Mission." Turning to the direction of the voice surprising everyone in the room as Shay walks into the room walking up to Mission. "Mission, I know you feel sadden for the death of your friend but don't be angry at Xion; she did the best she could."
"But…how could I not be! She knew that crazy Sith bastard was going to bombard the planet and she didn't say anything to any of us! We could have done something if she said something!" exclaimed Mission barely holding back her tears.
"And would you had believed her? Would have anyone had believed her if she went out telling them this?" said Shay.
Mission was quiet for several moments before responding. "But…she managed to convince those people she brought, didn't she?"
Shay shakes his head. "I talked with most of them and most of them didn't believe a single word she said. She merely told them if the Sith start bombing the planet to either come find her or head to our apartment. None of them believed her until the Sith started bombing the planet then they came running hoping she had a way off the planet. You can ask any of them for confirmation."
Mission was quiet after that contemplating everything Shay said. Shay then continues. "Also, even if we could have warned Gadon do you really believe he would abandon his people to save his own skin? I may not know the man personally but my impression of him was of a leader who refused to betray his people."
Mission then falls to her knees crying. "Your…right. Gadon would never abandon the Beks. They're…family." Mission turns to Xion. "Xion…I'm sorry for blaming you. You did the best you could. I was just making excuses for my own powerlessness. I was too shocked and numb when I saw Taris being destroyed that had Big Z not been there I had surely died."
I couldn't help but feel awkward at the scene before as Shay and Xion hug a crying Mission. I was about to leave not wishing to intrude but came face to face with my sister Ikiryo standing by the doorway. Ikiryo merely pats me on the head before walking over to the rest of the group standing in front of Mission.
"Mission, before you guys left for the Sith base I had informed Gadon of the impending bombardment. Reasoning that the Sith fleet was getting into formation the same way they did on Telos showing footage of that event. I told him his best chance at survival for him and his people was to head to the Undercity as the upper support should hold. I didn't try to convince any of them as I was on a tight time schedule so I can only hope when the bombardment started he ordered his men to head to the Undercity with as many people they could drag along with them." Said Ikiryo.
It was obvious Ikiryo was giving Mission some hope and from the look in Mission's eye, it seemed to be working. "Really? If Gadon and the Beks headed to the Undercity, then maybe they're still alive! Wait what about the Rakghouls! If upper Taris was destroyed, then the Beks wouldn't have any way to escape the Rakghouls! We have to go save them!" exclaimed Mission.
Ikiryo pats Mission on the head. "Relax little one. You saw the Spirit of Fire come to save us and forced the Sith to retreat. They are already sending aid to Taris to look for any survivors. The Republic should already be informed and will probably send a few ships to help with the rescue operation. Should any news come to light regarding your friend my older sister will let us know."
Mission looks down in embarrassment. "Umm…thank you Caster."
Ikiryo then leaves the room. Now that things were quieting down, I ask Xion to follow me as I grab her hand pulling her with me following after Ikiryo. Arriving back to the Port Dormitory I let go of Xion's hand which she then swats me on the head. "Warn me next time if you're going to hold my hand. People were giving us looks and I don't want to give them the wrong idea." Said Xion.
Scratching my head embarrassingly I bow my head. "Sorry Xion but Ikiryo offered Tamamo and Kiyohime a chance to stretch their legs and reestablish the mana connection."
{Really? We can finally rematerialize again. I can finally hug Master!} hopefully said Kiyohime.
I then feel a surge of mana flowing through my connection with my servants, then Tamamo and Kiyohime rematerialize immediately. The happy looks on their face was definitely worth seeing, of course, the moment both their eyes landed on me they immediately jumped me.
"Master/Master!" exclaimed both Tamamo and Kiyohime as they continued to hug me squeezing me to death.
While I was being squeezed to death, I noticed Xion was off to the side. I can tell she was happy for both girls, but I could tell she felt left out. "Hey don't forget Xion. She needs some loving too!"
Both girls suddenly stop hugging as they stare at one another as they smile mischievously as they turn to Xion. Xion then looks like a deer caught in the headlights as she steps back but before she could escape both girls glomp her before dragging her back over to me before dogpiling us all together.
After spending a few minutes on the ground as a pile of limbs we finally got the girls to calm down giving Xion and I some breathing room through both girls were still hugging us on our side. Hearing tapping, we notice Ikiryo was waiting for us to finish. "I'm glad you feel reacquainted but remember no one then who is in this room is allowed to see you. It would only raise questions. We'll properly introduce you two into the group when we get to Dantooine." As we then stood for attention Ikiryo tossed us a datapad. "Until then look over the SWTOR ships we still have available. You can each choose one to keep for yourself that way you can explore the galaxy when you're not running any missions, we assign you. Of course, you two are still on our current mission so you won't be flying them until this mission is over unless said otherwise."
Looking through the datapad we see the list of the main Starships from the SWTOR game. Only 5 of the 6 were available as the XS Stock Light Freighter was already owned by my eldest sister who is our benefactor. Out of the other starships only 3 piqued my interest. The bounty hunter ships the D-5 Mantis, the Sith ship the Fury class the Imperial Interceptor and the agent's ship the X-70B Phantom.
"So how about this one." I said pointing to the D-5 Mantis.
Tamamo's nose scrunches up in disgust. "No, it looks so dirty and unflattering."
"Agreed. Perhaps a nicer looking ship Master." Said Kiyohime.
"Okay, then how about the Imperial Interceptor. It looks cleaner not to mention pretty cool." I wonder what kind of color scheme would look better on it. Black and Red or Black and Gold.
Both Tamamo and Kiyohime take a thinking pose as they examine the ship design. "It does look appealing. It has a sense of power that wouldn't look out of place in my Palace. Though the inside is a bit dreary. May need to liven up a bit." Said Tamamo.
"I like the design, but I agree with Tamamo the interior is a bit dreary. It wouldn't do as a love nest…I mean a proper home to live in. It would need some work first to make it perfect." Added Kiyohime.
Okay so far, the Fury is winning. "Okay, here the last one. This is the X-70B Phantom. So, what do you think?"
The girl's eyes widen with interest at the picture of the ship as they eagerly examine the ship designs. "Oh…this ship looks nice. It looks like a luxurious ship. It looks so streamline." Said Kiyohime.
"This is definitely our ship. It looks so futuristic and fancy, much cleaner than those other ships. Everything on the ship just looks so nice. I can't wait to explore the ship; perhaps I can turn one of the rooms into a workshop. It's simply perfect." Gushed Tamamo.
I was hoping for the Fury but oh well. Anything for my ladies. "Okay then. The Phantom will be our choice Big Sis. Hey Xion, what ship will you choose?"
Xion looks to be in deep thought as she stares at the datapad. "Hmm…I can't decide. They all look nice, but I prefer the XS Stock Light Freighter. I like my own Millennium Falcon type ship. Any chance you can acquire another XS Light Freighter?"
Ikiryo shakes her head. "Not at the moment. Corellia still hasn't created the design yet. But don't worry we intend to eventually acquire a few more Light Freighters when the opportunity arises."
Xion nods in understanding. "Don't worry about it too much Xion. While you wait for your ship how about you just remain with us. I prefer if we stay together." Asked Tamamo.
"I agree. You shouldn't have to go off on your own. Just stay here with us. It's lonely to go at it on your own." Added Kiyohime.
Xion smiles at the two. "Thanks, guys. I'll try not to be a bother."
"Hey, you'll never be a bother Xion. Your practically our sister as long as I'm concerned." Insisted Tamamo with Kiyohime agreeing as they both hugged Xion.
"I'll just leave you guys alone then. We'll be landing in Dantooine in an hour. Remember no one else can see you girls. I'll have the Phantom transported here so you two can officially land on the planet "Air Quotes" then join the crew. I'll lock the door behind me." Said Ikiryo as she leaves the room locking the door behind her.
"I guess now we have some free time. So, what do you girls want to do for an hour?" I asked.
Both Tamamo and Kiyohime smile mischievously as they both tackle me on the ground as they start kissing me. Xion who was watching turns away leaving the room. "I'll stay on lookout to make sure you keep your privacy."
With Xion gone I was left at my servant's tender mercy. From the looks of both girls face they look completely love drunk and I don't think I'll come out of this unscathed. This is going to be a long hour; I just hope I can keep them away from taking my pants.
3rd POV
The Ebon Hawk enters Dantooine's atmosphere as it flies through the grassy plains headed straight to the Jedi Enclave. After a few minutes, the Ebon Hawk hovers over the enclave landing in an open area.
As they land Bastila gets up from the co-pilot seat. "Dantooine... it seems like a lifetime since I last set foot on her surface, though in truth it has only been a few months. We should be safe from Malak here... for now, at least."
Carth stares at Bastila incredulously. "Safe? You saw what his fleet did to Taris. There wasn't a building over two stories high left standing! Even with the Spirit of Fire arriving to chase the Sith off they... they turned the planet into one big pile of rubble!"
"Even the Sith would think twice before attacking Dantooine. There are many Jedi here, including several of the most powerful Masters of the Order. There is great strength within this place." Reassured Bastila with pride in her voice.
"I think Carth has a point. But then again the Sith just lost half their fleet so they'll be on their toes if this Lion King starts acting more aggressively with them." Mentioned Shay.
"I know your worried, but we need to regroup; we need a plan. We can get supplies here and recuperate. The Academy is a place of mental and spiritual healing; something we could all use after what we've been through." Said Bastila.
Carth looks down sighing. "Maybe you're right. It isn't easy to witness the annihilation of an entire planet. I know Mission has been taking it pretty hard."
"She will find a way to come to terms with her grief. She is stronger than she appears. We just need to give her time. Now I must go speak with the Council. I need their advice on... recent developments. After I have meet with them, I will meet you outside the ship." Finished Bastila.
While Bastila leaves the Ship to meet with the Council back in the Port Dormitory Ikiryo stands in front of the two former Mooncell Masters with the male master dusting himself off fixing his clothes after fending off his two servants who are standing on the side unapologetically. Ikiryo is holding a Holocron glowing bright yellow to Xion. "Here, this will unlock your force powers as well give you the knowledge of a Jedi Consular."
Xion grabs the Holocron as it immediately glows brighter as the knowledge of the Jedi Consular flows through her mind. Shaking her head to clear her head of the influx of information she holds her hand out aiming at a supply to lifting it with the force. "Whoa, I actually used the force."
Trowa had a look of awe as he was astonished at Xion using the force. "Awesome. So, I'm next right? I get a chance to learn how to be a Jedi?"
Ikiryo shakes her head. "Remember little Vod we're teaching you how to fight as a Mandalorian first. Not to mention this will unlock your Ki so we'll be teaching you self-control, so you don't use too much strength and hurt someone."
At the news of unlocking his, Ki Trowa jumps with joy at the prospect of learning to fight like Goku. "Big sis does this also mean I'll be able to sustain both mana connection with Tamamo and Kiyohime?" Both servants listen closely at the mention of only needing their Master to sustain them.
Ikiryo nods her head. "Yes, but only after you learn proper Ki control; don't want to tire you out. So, until we finish your training, I'll continue sustain most of their mana."
Trowa smiles at the news. "Okay, thanks. So, I get a Holocron too for the Bounty Hunter Class?"
Ikiryo shakes her head. "Not yet. We'll be on the planet for a least a month, so I'll be training you for two weeks getting you used to your Ki then we'll officially teach you to fight like a Mandalorian. Of course, you'll get your own Mandalorian armor."
Trowa's smiles widen at the chance to get his own Mandalorian armor. Ikiryo then places her hand on Trowa's head as it starts glowing. Trowa is confused by this action until he feels a surge of energy he never felt before from his body making his skin tingle.
"What...what just happen. I feel so energized." Asked Trowa as he stares at his hand noting his hand slightly glowing. Both Servants rushed over to their Master as they felt the change in their Master inspecting his body making sure he was unhurt.
"Relax, I just unlocked your Ki. Don't forget that body has been trained since it was 7 years old. Your body has years of training already ingrained into it. For the most part you'll be relearning what your body already knows." Said Ikiryo.
Just as Trowa was about to respond Bastila enters the room and both Tamamo and Kiyohime quickly dematerialize. "Xion there you are. Ah I see you regained your abilities to feel the force good." Bastila walks over to Xion grabbing her hand. "Come on Xion I'm about to take Shay to see the council. On the way their we're dropping you off with the Healers. Maybe they can help you with your memories." Before Xion could protest Bastila leads Xion out of the room. Both servants then rematerialize next to their Master who was scratching his head worried for their friend Xion.
Back in the cockpit Bastila returns with Xion in tow. "I have spoken briefly with the council; they request an audience with you. We should go at once."
Carth narrows his eyes in suspicion. "An audience with the Jedi Council? That's pretty unusual for someone who isn't even a Jedi. What's this about, Bastila?"
"I'm sorry, Carth, but I cannot tell you. All I ask is that you trust in the Force and the wisdom of the Council." Apologized Bastila.
Carth shakes his head in derision. "Well, I don't like being left out of the loop, but I'm not looking to get you in any trouble with the Jedi Masters. We'll do things your way for a while."
Bastila turns to Shay. "Come, they are expecting us. I will lead you to the Council chambers." Bastila then makes her way out of the cockpit exiting the ship with Xion still in hand.
Shay merely shrugs wishing she at least asked his opinion but follows after her with Carth following behind. As Shay exits the ship along with Carth he notes a Variety of people of different species walking about in similar brown robes.
Moving through the crowd heading to the north tunnel trying to keep up with the girls before exiting into a small courtyard. Surveying the area, the courtyard was a small garden with a beautiful tree in the middle. Looking around Shay noticed the girls heading to the western entrance and made to follow but came face to face with a human female Jedi.
"You there! Padawan! Why are you not wearing the customary robes of the Jedi? Do you mock the honored traditions of our Order?" demanded the Jedi woman.
"Are you a Jedi?" asked Shay.
"My name is Belaya. I have come here to further my learning in the ways of the Force. Many Jedi come here to train under Master Zhar. Any who belong to the Order should surely know this. You must be neglecting your studies, Padawan."
Shay shakes his head. "I believe you are mistaken. I am not a Padawan. I am Shay Xainin. I came here with Bastila."
Belaya then has a surprised look on her face. "Bastila? I have heard of her. They say she has already mastered the art of Battle Meditation, remarkable in one so young. Though I have heard she has a foolish pride in her own talents. But as for you... you claim you are not a Padawan? I find this hard to believe. The Force is strong within you. I can feel its presence. If this is some type of jest, it is in poor taste. The Jedi Order is not a subject for jokes."
"I didn't come here to be scolded by you!" replied Shay irritation clear in his voice.
Belaya notices this realizing her mistake. "No, I suppose you did not. I apologize. Please forgive the abruptness with which I first greeted you. It was harsh, and perhaps unfair. My Master often warns me I must learn to control my emotions. I see I have much left to learn. I wish you a pleasant stay here on Dantooine. May the Force be with you."
With the discussion over Shay and Carth continue on their way heading to the western entrance. Continuing through the corridor they arrive to the standard door where Bastila was waiting for them. "Good you're here. Now Shay follow me inside the masters will see you now. Carth wait out here until we're done." Asked Bastila.
As she was about to enter the room Shay grabs her hand. "Wait! where is Xion? She was just with you?"
Bastila shakes her hand away from Shay's grip blushing at the contact. "I dropped Xion with the healers. We'll check up on her after meeting with the council now let's go." Bastila then enters the room.
"Well, they're waiting for you. I'll just wait out here." Said Carth.
Shay nods as he enters the Council Chamber room. Walking into the big room he approaches the four Jedi Masters along with Bastila.
The Twi'lek Jedi Master is the first to turns to Shay. "Ah, so you are the one who rescued Bastila. It is appropriate you are here. We have been discussing your rather special case. I am Zhar, a member of the Jedi Council. With me are Master Vrook, Master Vandar and, of course, the Chronicler of our Academy, Master Dorak. Padawan Bastila I am sure you are already familiar with."
Shay chuckles. "So, you've drawn me into your little trap, Bastila. What now?"
"This is no trap. The Council just wants to talk to you. There is much that needs to be discussed." Placated Bastila.
"Relax Bastila I was only joking. Okay, isn't the Jedi Council on Coruscant?" asked Shay.
"Yes, the High Council of the Jedi Order is on Coruscant, but we are the Council in charge of the training facility here on Dantooine." Responded Zhar.
"Okay then. I've got some questions for all of you." Asked Shay.
"Indeed, I am sure that you do. I assure you that we will have answers for you." Replied Zhar.
"Why did the Sith destroy Taris?" asked Shay.
The small green alien Vandar responds. "Darth Malak seeks to destroy the Jedi Order. Our most effective weapon, perhaps our only hope, is Bastila's skill with Battle Meditation. With this power, she can swing the tide of nearly any battle in our favor. Which is why Malak was seeking her so fervently."
"And if he could not have her, he would see her destroyed. Taris was just in the way." Added Vrook.
"We need Bastila in our fight against the Sith. Indeed, we need every Jedi we can muster, since the Sith have been hunting us down at every opportunity. Which brings us to you..." Finished Zhar.
"I feel I'm not going to like this..." said Shay nervous about these strange men.
Zhar continues despite Shay's worry. "Bastila tells us you are strong in the Force. We are considering you for Jedi training."
"Strong in the Force? Are you sure I can learn how to wield the force?" questioned Shay.
Zhar waves off his worry. "Do not worry. I am confident in your ability to learn."
"Master Zhar speaks out of turn, perhaps. We need indisputable proof of your strong affinity to the Force before we would even consider accepting you for training." Argued Vrook obviously showing not liking the idea of training Shay.
Bastila has a surprised expression on her face. "Proof? Surely the entire Council can feel the strength of the Force within this man... and I have already related to you the events that took place on Taris…"
Vrook dismisses Bastila's account. "Perhaps it was simple luck."
Zhar shakes his head. "We both know there is no luck. There is only the Force. We all feel the power in Bastila's companion, though it is wild and untamed. Now that this power has begun to manifest itself, can we safely ignore it?"
Vrook sighs turning to Shay. "The Jedi training is long and difficult, even when working with a young and open mind. Teaching a child is hard. How much harder will it be for an adult to learn the ways of the Jedi?"
"I am ready to accept the training... and my age has nothing to do with it!" replied Shay.
"Such pride! Such arrogance! Ach. This one is already on the path to the dark side!" loudly disdained Vrook.
"As are many who are not given proper training, Master Vrook. Only through our guidance can we hope to lead those who have strayed back to the path of light." Replied Vandar.
"Traditionally the Jedi do not accept adults for training, though there are rare exceptions in the history of our Order. But you are a special case." Continued Dorak.
Vandar nods in agreement. "I agree with Master Dorak. Many of our own pupils are leaving the Jedi order to either follow the Sith teachings or the Lion King, we need recruits to stand against Malak! With Revan dead..."
"Are you certain Revan is truly dead? What if we undertake to train this one, and the Dark Lord should return?" questioned Vrook.
"We should discuss this matter more fully in private. Bastila, you and your companion must go. This is a matter for the Council alone." Quickly said Vandar.
"As you wish, Master Vandar. We shall return to the Ebon Hawk and leave you to your deliberations." Said Bastila as she politely bows before ushering Shay to the door.
But before they could leave Vrook stops them. "Before you go. You, Shay was it? That sword on your back hand it over to us. That blade is infused with the power in the Darkside. The longer you possess such a thing the likely you'll be swayed by the Darkside."
Shay takes out his Sith Warblade observing it before stowing it back on his back. "Umm…sorry but the sword is on loan. I promised I would return it."
Vrook was about to say something but Vandar holds his hand out. "Understand we do. Return the blade to its owner. You will not need it next we meet."
Shay nods in understanding leaving the room with Bastila.
Leaving the Council Chamber, the three then make their way to the Medical room where the Jedi Healers were checking over Xion. Arriving in the room they found Xion now dressed in brown Jedi robes. "Xion! How are you friend." Asked Bastila.
"I'm fine. The Healers told me to meditate and simply get plenty of rest. My memories should eventually return to me." Replied Xion. 'Yeah, I highly doubt it.'
"That's good to hear…and I see your back in your Jedi robes. I miss your other outfit. You look really good in it." complimented Shay giving a heartwarmingly smile.
Xion blushes at the compliment and the smile isn't helping as her face reddens. "Umm…thank you."
"Okay, then guys let's head back to the ship. We could use the rest." Quickly said Bastila grabbing Xion's hand not liking the way Shay was interacting with her friend.
The boys follow the girls back to the courtyard and just as they were about to enter the south entrance they notice a bunch of Twi'leks which they recognized as the slaves they saved following Trowa and co to the eastern entrance. "Huh where are they going?" asked Carth.
"Let's find out." Said Shay as he makes to follow them.
Shay POV
Following the group to the eastern entrance I see the Twi'lek slave girl I first met at Davik's estate. As I was about to call out to her realization hit me. I still haven't learned her name yet. Rushing up to her I tap her shoulder getting her attention.
The Twi'lek woman turns to me and immediately smiles brightly at me. "Master Shay!"
Master? When did they start calling me master? "Umm…you know you don't need to call me master. Just call me Shay. And…you mind telling me your name? And would you mind enlightening us where you guys are going?" I asked.
The blue Twi'lek woman then has an embarrassed expression on her face. "Oh sorry. I'm so used to everyone just referring to me as slave or whatever nickname they gave me that introducing myself never crossed my mind. My name is Amavivi; you can just call me Vivi for short. As for where we are going, we're following the Mandalorian woman. She wanted to both give us the chance to stretch our legs and solve our living arrangements."
At the mention of the Mandalorian Bastila intercedes in the conversation. "The Mandalorian? What is she doing? The Council hasn't given us permission to leave the ship. We can't leave the Enclave without their permission."
I then stand in front of Bastila shielding Vivi who is cowering under Bastila's questioning holding my hands up. "Relax Bastila. Let's just meet up with Caster and find out what this is all about okay."
Bastila glares at me for a moment making me gulp. She then sighs. "Okay fine. Let's find Caster then."
Well…she looks anxious…and kind of cute. Now with Vivi coming along, we walk through the group noticing upfront Trowa and the rest were standing up front of the door where a droid was standing in front of it.
"The Council has decreed you must not leave the enclave. Please return to your ship." Said the protocol droid.
Caster who was standing in front of the droid places her hand on the droid then bright blue lines spread over the droid's head. After a moment, the blue lines recede as the droid's eyes flicker for a moment. "Pardon me ma'am. Authorization is clear. You may go as you please." Said the droid.
Did Caster just hack that droid? How did she do that and what was with that blue light thing? Before I could ponder the door opened with everyone following Caster outside. Bastila had a dumbfounded expression on her face probably surprised that the droid let them go before shaking out of it rushing after Caster. I guess Bastila is a stickler to the rules. Hopefully, Bastila doesn't try to fight Caster. That's the last thing we need.
Continuing to follow the group through the open plains away from the Jedi Enclave I meet up with Gerlon, Duncan, and Marl. Quickly gathering information from them they parroted what Vivi said about Caster solving their living arrangements during their stay on Dantooine. From what I gathered it will be some time before anyone can arrange transportation off-planet. Of course, with how sudden they were forced to leave Taris only a few had a clue what to do should they decide to leave the planet. As for everyone else mostly the former slaves they haven't a clue what to do now.
Rushing on ahead I finally reach the front of the group where I find Caster leading the pack. Alongside her is Bastila who appears to be arguing with her, but Caster looks like she is barely acknowledging her presence. Just as I was about to intervene, I noticed a big shadow overcast the group accompanied by a loud sound.
Looking up I see a big silver Starship that looked streamlined like a luxurious ship that could only be owned by an extraordinarily rich individual was almost 3 times the size of the Ebon Hawk fly over us.
"Hey, I recognize that ship! That's the Phantom! What's the Lion King's stealth ship doing here?" questioned Carth scratching his bearded chin.
"So that's the Phantom ship that has been dogging us launching hit and runs on our ships during the War. I recall hearing reports of a sighting of a luxurious ship spotted around some warzones and thought nothing of it. I see that was a mistake." Commented Canderous.
Phantom? So that's what it is called. It's a real nice ship I say. Way bigger than ours. As I watched the Phantom fly overhead, I see another ship following behind that looked like a dropship carrying something huge.
Carth beside me had a confused look on his face as he saw the second ship. "Why is a Pod here? And why is it carrying a Firebase."
Firebase? Looking back at the ships I see both starts to land a bit away from us in an open area the Grove. After a half-hour walk, we arrived at the Grove where we saw the Ships land finding the Phantom as well as this huge structure that looked like a military base not far from it taking up most of the Grove. It looked like the thing the second ship was carrying. "So…anybody going to explain what that is?" I asked.
"That's a Firebase. It's a modular base that was used during the Mandalorian War. It a base deployed by the Spirit of Fire and was a game-changer the moment it was first deployed in battle. It allowed the republic to construct fast fully functional command bases on active warzones and supply friendly forces with necessary reinforcements and supplies on various battlefronts on multiple planets. Some of our campaigns on contested worlds that would take months to win were shorted to a month and sometimes a few weeks." Explained Carth with pride clear in his voice.
"Though that still begs the question why did the General bring one out here for?" questioned Carth.
"General?" I asked. Who is this General he is talking about?
Carth then sports a surprised look on his face at my question. "Oh, um don't worry about its Shay. How about we ask Caster herself what up."
Changing the subject huh? Well, I'll just ask him about it later. We need to talk with Caster first. Turning back to Caster who was still being berated by Bastila who looked like she was having a meltdown. "What the heck is this! What is a military base doing here on Dantooine! Who do you think you are to think you can occupy a planet protected by the Jedi Mandalorian! The Council will not tolerate this occupation!" screamed Bastila.
Finally standing behind the armored Mandalorian I attempt to get her attention. "Umm…care to explain what's going on anyone?"
Caster then turns to me still ignoring Bastila. "We're setting up a command center here. Cathar or namely the Lion King has been asked by various groups asked for help with colonization's efforts. One such group are the inhabitants of Dantooine."
"Colonization? You mean occupation! If you were here to help with colonization, then why send a military base!" shouted Bastila.
"Simple, the Firebase was originally an old colony starter unit repurposed for military use. They were originally designed to assist in colonization efforts on uninhabited worlds. This Firebase was designed for colonization purposes. So Bastila here doesn't need to worry." Responded Caster.
"Even if all that is true you still need permission from the Jedi Council to allow something like this to be set up. Did you even ask the Jedi Council about this?" asked Bastila.
Caster merely shakes her head. "Of course not. We don't recognize the Jedi's authority. We merely informed them that we accepted the Dantooine immigrants' request and that we'll send a Firebase for colonization efforts."
Staring back at the Firebase I say it truly was a marvel. The structure was already bigger than the Jedi enclave and there were open platforms with buildings being built by these numerous machines and droids. One of the platforms has Generators already set up that looked like they were both using Solar and Wind power.
"The Firebase Barracks should be done in a half an hour. The barracks will be where all of you will be staying at until we can make more permanent homes for you here unless of course, you want to transport off-planet. Until then I will allow you to look around the X-70B Phantom until the barracks are finished. I also like to introduce two important individuals to my little brother to the group." Said Caster.
Glancing at Trowa I see him blushing a bit at the news. I wonder who these two individuals are? Guess we'll find out as we enter the Phantom. Just as the group started following Caster to the landing ramp to the Phantom, I immediately hugged on my side finding Sarna hugging my arm.
"Hello handsome. How did your meeting with those old monks go?" asked the ginger.
"Hmm…hard to say. Most of the stuff they said made little sense to me. But they did tell me I was force sensitive and that they offered to train me." I told Sarna.
Sarna sported a surprised expression on her face. "Force-sensitive? So, you can use the force like a Jedi?"
"Apparently so. Guess we'll find out more tomorrow." I said.
Before we could continue our discussion, we arrive to the Phantom with the landing bay door opening. Exiting the ship were three women, the one up front was a redheaded woman with a perfect hourglass figure in a ponytail with green eyes wearing a black sweater and big white coat, a yellow skirt, black leggings, and black boots.
The second was young woman who looked about Trowa's and Xion's age. She was a near-human with Pink hair in twin tails, golden eyes, fluffy ears and a bushy tail wearing a revealing blue kimono. The third young woman same age was near-human with horns on her head. She had long green hair, yellow eyes and wear a revealing white kimono with her yellow bikini bra and panties on full display that show plenty of her shapely legs in white leggings.
The redheaded woman approaches Caster with a bright smile. "Ikiryo-chan. It's good to see you…boo why are you hiding your face from your big sister. Come on don't hide that bright smile."
Ikiryo? Wait so Caster's name is Ikiryo? I wonder why she was keeping her name secret. Caster or should I say Ikiryo then takes off her helmet. "Sorry, Boudica-Oneechan. I guess there is no point hiding my face. These mystic glasses will be enough to obscure my identity. Oh, and Boudica-Oneechan please don't say my real name in public. Just call me Caster when we're with others. This is only until we leave Dantooine." Ikiryo's armor then disappears into motes of light leaving her in the same outfit she wore at Davik's estate.
The redheaded woman Boudica smiles back warmly. "Okay, then Caster-chan. "Boudica then turns to the other two girls. "I believe it's time to introduce yourselves to the group. I'll give the rest of the group a tour around the ship until the barracks are done."
Boudica then addresses the rest us offering us a tour of the ship. Everyone in the group was anxious to see the inside of a luxurious ship. As most of the group followed Boudica inside the ship mostly everyone that we met on Taris stayed behind as the other two near-humans approached us or should I say Trowa.
The two girls bow politely to the group. "Greetings, I'm Tamamo."
"And I'm Kiyohime." Continued the other girl.
"Thank you for taking care of our Master!" chorused the girls before glopping the redhead.
Master? Did they just refer to Trowa as Master? What kind of relationship is he in with these two? It sure as hell doesn't sound like a master-slave kind of relationship with how amorous these two are with him. "Tamamo, hey Trowa isn't she the girl you were referring to receiving treatment back on the Endar Spire?" asked Carth.
A blushing Trowa struggles out of the two girls grip but to no unveil. "Yes. Both Tamamo and Kiyohime were receiving treatment on Cathar. They recently were released from the hospital and given permission from my eldest sister to join me with my training."
"I see. But mind explaining the relationship you three have? Them calling you Master is odd. They don't exactly look like slaves…are they?" curiously asked Sarna.
Trowa shakes his head. "They're not slaves. They're…"
"We're his personal Servants! Our minds body and soul belong to our beloved Master! There isn't a single thing we wouldn't do for our Master no matter how…deprave." interrupted Tamamo and Kiyohime as they continue to hug their Master.
Sarna put her hand to her mouth in surprise while grinning. "Oh my. I didn't know how deep your relationship was. Whoa didn't think you were into such kinky things Trowa. I underestimated you. I wish you three the best."
"Hey, wait don't take it the wrong way! I'm not a deviant! The girls just have a umm…weird Master servant fetish. Yeah it's just foreplay." Hastily said Trowa
"Wow, Trowa. I underestimated you. I didn't think you had it in you. Though I got to say with those two girls glued to the hip I be hard to resist taking advantage of them. Trowa you are one lucky bastard." I complimented giving him a thumbs up.
Trowa then blushes as red as his hair. "No need to be modest kid. You got two strong women at your side. Show them what a Mandalorian is made of." Added Canderous giving a boisterous laugh.
Trowa is then nudged in the ribs by Mission. "I see your quite the lady's man aren't big guy. Should I be worried?" playfully laughed the Twi'lek girl.
After a few minutes of poking fun at Trowa we all finally joined the rest of the group touring the ship. I have to say touring the ship was quite amazing. Not only was it much bigger than the Ebon Hawk. All the tech aboard blew our ship out of the water. I never seen such a high-tech ship before. Everything was so streamlined. The holographic Galaxy map was a sight to see. It was all amazing. You certainly had been rich to afford this ship. It was further cemented when Ikiryo explains the upkeep and cost to maintain the ship. The number of zeroes definitely killed any ideas I had to ever own a ship like this. I even overheard Trowa conversing with the girls about choosing another ship.
After the tour ended, we entered the firebase. The base was a flurry of activity as workers were still setting up the Vehicle Depot. As we headed to the barracks, I took the opportunity to give back the Warblade back to Ikiryo. Arriving to the barracks a pink-skinned Zeltron woman showed the Taris inhabitants where they will be staying. The Zeltron also gave a pamphlet of job opportunities on the base anyone can sign up for. I could already tell Zelka, Kebla and Marl were already thinking of accepting one of the job opportunities.
After everyone got set up in the barracks everyone part of the main crew namely everyone who joined us on Taris returned back to the Ebon Hawk to get some rest. I would have liked to explore the Firebase more, but the workers were still busy so perhaps I'll check up on it tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow will be eventful still need to find out what the Jedi decision will be concerning training me. Wouldn't mind learning to use the force. I'm sure it will be handy.
3rd POV
Dreamscape
In the Ebon Hawk barracks Shay is asleep and starts to have another dream or vision. Within the dream Shay witness a dark figure in a dark armored robe-wearing an iconic Mandalorian mask he recognizes as Revan. Revan is pacing in front of a closed-door in an ancient ruin, when a tall bald man with tattoos on his head Shay recognizes as Malak begins voicing his misgivings.
"The dark side is strong in this place. I can feel its power! Is this wise? The ancient Jedi sealed this archway. If we pass beyond this door, we can never go back. The Order will surely banish us. Are the secrets of the Star Forge so valuable? Can we truly trust Gudako's information? Can its power truly be worth the risk?" worriedly asked Malak.
Revan snorts at Malak's worries. "Of course, it is! Gudako created the Spirit of Fire using the Star Forge. Image its Malak, a fleet of Spirits of Fire at our command. The Mandalorians wouldn't stand a chance. And I have a feeling we are only scratching the surface of what it can do."
Revan then opens the door, and Malak follows him through it into the chamber beyond. Shay makes to follow them but as he does so he feels that he is not alone as her looks around and notices two other figures following behind. He quickly recognizes them as Bastila and Xion and their bodies were translucent as his. Before he could try to call out to them Malak starts speaking again. "Yes, I understand Revan but if Gudako had access to this Star Forge then why wouldn't she just tell us the location? Why have us seek these Star Maps?" asked Malak.
"Hell, if I know! She can be as cryptic as Master Kriea at times. That or she simply enjoys making us run around blindly for her amusement. Either way we don't have a choice. Remember this is all to save the Republic." Retorted Revan as he and Malak approach a black pyramid-like structure as it opens up revealing a map of the galaxy.
Shay tries to get a closer look but just as he got close to the black structure his vision goes black as his dream ends.
Ebon Hawk
Shay stirs awake in a cold sweat. Shaking his head not understanding if what he just experienced was a dream or not. Getting out of bed to shake off his grogginess Shay glances over to his bunkmate Trowa still sleeping soundly but with two extremely attractive girls in Onesie. Normally when a person wears an onesie they look comical or cute but as for the two ladies lying on either side of the redhead their onesie's fronts are unzipped all the way down to their groins showing plenty of cleavage.
Shay does his best to not let his eyes linger too long on the scantly clad girls out of respect to his friend as he makes his way out of the Port dormitory. Arriving at the main hold Shay runs into Carth. "This morning's getting stranger by the minute. First Bastila comes out looking like she saw a ghost, and now you. Well, Bastila did mention that you should go to the Council chambers before she left taking Xion with her. It is no doubt urgent, so you shouldn't keep them waiting."
"I had a rough night. Did she say anything else?" asked Shay.
"Well, I can't say I blame you. I... I haven't exactly been sleeping well myself. Here I thought things would get better once we escaped Taris. As for Bastila no, she didn't. She didn't seem well, as I recall... and for that matter neither do you. Are you alright?" asked Carth worry in his voice.
Shay waves him off. "I'm fine. Let's go."
Carth nods. "You got it." The two then make their way off the ship heading to the Council Chamber.
Arriving to the Council room Shay approaches the Masters' with Bastila and Xion already standing in attendance. "Bastila has told us of a most unusual development. She claims you and she have shared a dream along with…Xion, a vision of Malak and Revan in the ancient ruins here on Dantooine." Said Vandar.
Dorak then continues. "These ruins have long been known to us, but we believed them to be merely burial mounds. Perhaps they are more than we first suspected if Revan and Malak found something there."
Shay is surprised by this. "What? How would Bastila know if we shared a dream?"
"She says that she felt both your and Xion's presence within the dream, the presence she has felt within you ever since..."
"Master Vandar!" exclaimed Vrook interrupting Vandar's train of thought.
Vandar thinks over for a moment before continuing. "... ever since Taris. It is not unknown for this to happen between two people strong in the Force."
"They seemed to be searching for something." Responded Shay trying to recall the dream.
"Bastila has described this shared dream to the Council in great detail. We feel it is more than a dream. It is a vision. The Force is acting through you as it acts through Bastila." Said Vandar.
"I am having visions now. Man, this just gets weirder." Said Shay.
"You and Bastila share a powerful connection to the Force... and each other. This is not unheard of. Connections often form between Master and student, but rarely does a bond develop so quickly." Explained Zhar.
"Whatever dangers may lie ahead; we cannot ignore the destiny that has brought you and Bastila here to us. Together." Said Vandar.
"Are you saying I'm... joined with her and Xion?" asked Shay.
Vandar nods. "Yes, you Bastila and Xion are linked, as is your fate to theirs. Together, you three may be able to stop Darth Malak and the Sith."
Vrook continues. "But do not let your head be filled with visions of glory and power! Such thoughts are the path to the dark side. The way of the light is long and difficult, as you must learn. Are you ready for such hardship?"
"Yes, I believe so." Answered Shay.
Vandar smiles at Shay's answer. "Good. It is well that you see how important this is and have the devotion to follow it."
"Yes. I'm ready for whatever awaits me." Resolutely said, Shay.
"Understand that there is little choice in this matter, for you or us. Across the galaxy the numbers of our Order dwindle. We have sent many Jedi in quest of a way to thwart Malak's advance... many have not returned. The Sith hunt the Jedi down like animals, ambushing and assassinating our brothers wherever they are found. We fear it is only a matter of time until they discover even this hidden refuge." Warned Vandar.
Vrook continues. "Other Jedi have fallen from the light and embraced the dark side, giving their allegiance to the Sith and Malak, their dark lord. Others have taken…the Olive branch the Lion King has extended seeking refuge from both sides."
"The Jedi are turning to the dark side?" questioned Shay.
"The lure of the dark side is not easy to resist. Malak's power grows as more and more planets fall to his conquering armies." Replied Vrook.
"If Malak is not stopped the Republic will fall, and the Jedi will be hunted to extinction. The galaxy will enter a time of darkness and tyranny not seen for a thousand generations." Said Zhar.
"The Council has decreed that you and Bastila must investigate the ancient ruins you dreamed of... once the Council deems you ready." Said Vandar.
"Perhaps there you will find some clue, some explanation, of how Revan and Malak were corrupted. And perhaps there you shall find a way to stop them." Added Dorak.
"You have a strong affinity with the Force. With such power comes great responsibility... and danger. You may wish to deny what you are, but the Council cannot turn a blind eye." Said Vandar.
"Neither will Darth Malak. Your strength is a threat to him. In time he will learn of you and the Sith will hunt you down. It is inevitable. Defeating the Sith is the only way to save yourself." Said Zhar.
"I'm ready now. I accept this mission." Accepted Shay ready to take on the Sith.
Vandar nod. "Hm, yes. Your devotion is most commendable.
"The Force flows through you like no student we have ever seen. But you are willful and headstrong... a dangerous combination." Said Vrook.
Vandar holds his hand out in pause. "Before we send you to investigate the ruins, you must be trained in the ways of the Jedi so that you can resist the darkness within yourself... within all of us. Otherwise, you are doomed to fail."
'So, I get a chance to check those ruins then. Good, I was hoping for the chance to find out what that strange structure possessed.' "As you wish, Master Vandar." Replied Shay
"We must begin your training at once. But don't worry, you won't undertake your training alone. Xion due to her memory lost will train alongside you as she tries to regain her forgotten memories. You have a destiny upon you that you must be prepared to face. The entire fate of the galaxy is upon you." Continued Zhar.
"I can only hope you will prove up to the task." Finished Vrook. The Council then has Bastila lead Shay and Xion to their quarters to begin their long training.
Trowa POV
It's been quite some time since Shay and Xion started their Jedi training. A little over three weeks in fact almost a month, during that time we've had been keeping busy. During those two weeks, just about everyone we brought with us from Taris found a job on my sister's Firebase. Kebla opened up another emporium on the base to sell equipment to the Dantooine settlers. Zelka of course got hired on as a doctor/field doctor on base. He volunteered to help the settlers with and injuries or illness they obtained.
The Twi'lek woman who sold us T3 Janice if I remember correctly now works in the Vehicle Depot. She keeps the maintenance of droids, so her jobs aren't too different just not selling any of them…well at least not yet. As for the guys from the dueling arena most of them took up becoming part of the patrols that go around the plains clearing out excess wildlife that threaten the settlers. Though Marl became a training instructor for the settlers. The only ones that didn't join were Twitch and Ice as they opted to take a shuttle to Nar Shaddaa as the nice peaceful life didn't suit them.
As for me, Ikiryo-Oneechan kept us busy during our stay as she continued training me in learning how to control my Ki. Lucky for me it wasn't hard as it was like riding a bicycle you hadn't rode on in years. Turns out the residual memories of the original Trowa are becoming clearer in my mind as I started to have more memories of Trowa's childhood. The only problem with the dreams is the people I see in them their faces are still blurred. The only faces that are clear are Ikiryo, Boudica, Emiya, and Cu Chulainn. Though there were two other faces I recognized but they shared faces similar to Tamamo and Kiyohime but the Tamamo lookalike looked more catlike and wore a collar. While the Kiyohime look-alike had white-hair and red eyes.
I had asked Ikiryo regarding my dreams/memories if there were another servant that looked like Tamamo and Kiyohime here. Ikiryo merely smiled at me at the news I was remembering the originals Trowa's life telling me I will eventually find out when I meet the rest of the family.
Memories aside Ikiryo had me training out in the plains in weighted clothing so I could get used to wearing the heavy armor I will soon be given my Bounty Hunter class skills. So far, I had to utilize using Ki during my training so I could properly harness it like using it to increase my strength and speed. I found being able to punch a boulder into oblivion and outrunning a pack of Kath Hounds very exhilarating.
Big sis even taught how to create a Ki ball. That was definitely a high light as I was able to perform a Ki blast actually killing a Kath Hound. I was completely jumping for joy at that and started chasing after other Kath hounds out in the plains using a Ki blast on all of them. I did that for half an hour before collapsing due to over-usage depleting my Ki.
It was a good thing I was never alone out there as Mission, Zaalbar, Canderous and my servants were normally out there with me. Of course, I got an earful by big Sis and Canderous for recklessly wasting my Ki like that. Other than teaching me how to create a Ki ball she taught me the Solar Flare technique which blinds opponents. It's one of the lucky few Ki techniques we could do here which I'm grateful for. As long as I continue my Ki training Big Sis promises to teach me the Kameha wave before we leave Dantooine which I can't wait.
Continuing my training Big Sis had me spar with Tamamo, Kiyohime, Boudica, and Canderous. When came to my servants Ikiryo knew they wouldn't try to hurt me so she offered the girls if they caught me in a hour they could do whatever they want to be completely uninterrupted with me tied up for the whole day. Both girls were completely at attention at that as they completely focused on me planning how to best capture me. As soon as Ikiryo gave the signal I ran like the devil was chasing after me since in a way a blue flaming dragon was hot on my tail. I had to use every trick I learned during my training including several Solar Flares to escape both these vicious girls for an hour.
Moving on to the Next opponent was Canderous. I thought I had a better chance of facing him since we were fighting hand to hand but a few seconds in I was flat on my back. After several more attempts to beat the Mandalorian Canderous thoroughly beat the stuffing out of me. I honestly should of know that Canderous was trained to use Ki too. There were hints that Canderous knew Ikiryo longer than Taris, but I ignored it. Now I know Sis and rest of her group had been training the Mandalorians in Ki usage. Makes me wonder how Carth would react to that news.
Lastly, my last opponent is Boudica. I was surprised to learn that Boudica-Oneechan was in fact a former Servant that my Benefactor had incarnated. I didn't expect to meet any of my Benefactors servants yet. Though both Tamamo and Kiyohime were happy at the news that Boudica was incarnated as they now have unquestioned prove that they can live again. Back to the spar, we fought with blades. The spar was more of less Boudica instructing me in sword fighting as she forced me to correct my mistakes by striking my vulnerable spots. I must say she is making me more aware at where I position myself, so I don't get hit; still she is still way out of my league.
That was pretty much what did the last 3 weeks and now I'm with Big Sis at the Firebase or as the settlers have gone to call it the Dantooine Administration since they had to organized a small government for the settlers.
Ikiryo then takes out a glowing Holocron for the Bounty Hunter class. "Sorry for the long wait little Vod. Running an impromptu local government took longer than I thought. Still can't believe how our simple mission to provide a supply base for the settlers turned into organizing a small functional government came to be."
Touching it immediately it glows brighter as all the knowledge of the Bounty Hunter class flows into my mind. Honestly other than getting the know-how to use the Bounty Hunter Armors gadgets including the Jetpack I already knew everything else as Big Sis and Canderous taught me during the course of my training.
Ikiryo then leads me to the Armory with Tamamo and Kiyohime following behind as always. Arriving at the Armory Ikiryo directs me to a display rack where the Mandalorian Armor set that was orange in color prominently on the armor, white on the leather and navy blue on the sides. Sis picked out for me. "Here little Vod. This is the Charismatic Armor set. Our Oneechan your Benefactor chose this armor for you to wear." Said Ikiryo directing me to the armor.
"Wow, this armor looks so awesome! I can't wait to try it on." I immediately start putting on the armor. Once done I did a quick check making sure everything was secure with my helmet being held on my side, I then presented myself to the girls. "So how do I look?" I then place the helmet on my head.
Ikiryo gives me a good once over nodding her head. "You look good. Oneechan has good taste."
"You look amazing Master! But I prefer to see your handsome face." Said Tamamo.
"You look great Master, but I agree with Tamamo you should ditch the helmet." Replied Kiyohime.
Looks like the girls prefer me without the helmet. I guess I can't blame them. I prefer to feel the wind on my face. Before I could ponder any further one of the Base defense Soldiers entered. "General! Sorry to disturb you ma'am but one of our patrols just returned with two Civilians in tow after escaping Mandalorian raiders."
"Dar'manda scum!" disdainfully spat Ikiryo as she glares at the soldier who wilts at her glare. I hear both girls snickering at the soldier enjoying his predicament. "Where are the patrol and Civilians at now?" demanded my sister.
"Ma'am! They are in the infirmary where they are being treated for their injuries. One of the Civ a young woman was shot." Saluted the man as he relayed his report to Ikiryo.
"Good now lead the way. Come on guys let's go." As the soldier leads the way to the infirmary as we all follow.
Arriving in the Infirmary we find both Gerlon and Duncan sitting on medical beds and surprisingly we find Shay standing next to Zelka. Ikiryo then dismisses the soldier as we approach Zelka who was attending a young woman on conscious on one of the medical beds with an older man sitting in a chair at her side worry clear on his face. "Doctor Zelka how our patrol unit doing?"
"They're fine. Gerlon and Duncan suffered minor injuries, just a few stray blaster burns. Nothing a little kolto can't handle. Only the young woman suffered a serious injury to the gut. I'm preparing her for surgery so I can't talk now." Zelka turns to one of the medical staff. "Prepare to transport miss Ilsa to the ER." The medical staff then move the woman on a gurney and start transporting her to the ER with Zelka following behind.
Turning to Shay Ikiryo addresses the elephant in the room. "So, Shay, what are you doing here? I thought you were busy with your Jedi training?"
Scratching his head Shay answers. "I was bored with the mind-numbing lessons about the force, so I ditched and came here to hang out. But then I saw two smoking speeders rushing to the Firebase, so I followed to investigate."
"I see…Gerlon, Duncan what happened?" asked Ikiryo.
Gerlon is the first to get up followed by Duncan. "Duncan and I were on Patrol culling the Kath hounds when we heard blaster fire. Investigating we came across a farm being raided by Mandalorians and Duros."
"Acting quick we snuck into the farm unnoticed by the Raiders. We were planning to attack from behind until we noticed their leader who was bigger than the rest held lightsabers on his belt. One look was all we needed to know if we try to fight him, we would be dead." Said Duncan.
"But we heard the man Jon begging for his and his daughter's life. Jon's daughter wasn't backing down which infuriated the Mandalorian. We saw he was about to kill them both, so we lobbed a flash grenade then grabbed the both of them then booked it to the speeders. Unfortunately, the Mandalorian got a shot off that hit the woman." Informed Gerlon.
A moment later Carth and Canderous enter the room asking what was going on. As Gerlon informs them what happened Jon the farmer approaches Shay. "Are you a Jedi? How long can you people continue to sit by and claim you protect us? Protectors? Ha! You sit in your Enclave safe from the Mandalorians while we suffer!"
"Mandalorians? Weren't they all beaten in the last war?" Questioned Shay as he turns to address the distraught farmer.
Jon angrily glares back at Shay's response. "No! They've been raiding planets across this sector, and farms around here often. You Jedi have left them alone because they haven't harmed you, but they steal our property, destroy our land, and worse!"
At Jon's outburst, Carth attention is now drawn to Shay's conversation. "I say we look for these Mandalorians. I fought them in the war... they're nothing but vicious pirates. We should... we should stop them if we can."
"What are you talking about?" asked a confused Shay.
"Those Mandalorian brutes almost killed my daughter! If it wasn't for these brave men she would be dead…and so would I!" angrily yelled Jon.
Canderous merely scoff at Jon's complaints. "You should have protected her better. And you call yourself her father."
"And what am I supposed to do against a dozen Mandalorians and Duros? Nothing... There was nothing I could do..." lamented Jon as he looks down in shame. "They came to our land, demanding our livelihood. But Ilsa, my Ilsa, said no..."
"You didn't try to stop them?" questioned Shay.
"There was nothing I could do... Too many of the Mandalorians and their Duros allies... I've come here to ask you, please, master Jedi, stop these raiders. Stop them before any more of these monsters can hurt anyone like my daughter again." Begged Jon.
But I am not a Jedi yet. I'm still just an apprentice. I don't think the Jedi will be happy if I do this without their permission." Said Shay.
"Hey Shay, it's never wrong to help someone in need of help," I told to Shay.
Jon then notices my presence as a look of fear crosses his face as he backs away. "A Mandalorian? But how? Someone stops that monster before he kills us all!"
As the panicking farmer was screaming at me Ikiryo walked behind him holding him in place. "Calm down sir. My little brother is harmless. I'm sure you'll figure out that both I Canderous and my brother are Mandalorians. We are nothing like those Dar'manda that you encounter. As you know this Firebase belongs to the Lion King as we are soldiers under her command."
Jon calms down a little at the news, but stare appears wary of me. "I…okay I believe you, ma'am. You've done well by us settlers since you arrived her supplying us with much-needed supplies, we need to properly settle her. We actually started to expand more on Dantooine thanks to your Defense Force. Ma'am is there any way you can send some of your Defense Forces to deal with these Raiders? They're killing us!"
Ikiryo holds her hand to calm the man. "Relax sir. I'm already planning to send my brother here to deal with this Dar'manda. Trowa, I leave it up to you who you bring with you."
So, she plans to have me do it. I guess this another test having me fight another Mandalorian. Well, admittedly I'm dying for a chance to test this new armor out. "I'll get it done Big Sis. I'll ask around our group if any wish to come with."
Gerlon and Duncan then stand in front of me. "Hey Wanderer, if you heading out take me with you. I may not stand a chance against that Mandalorian, but with these new cybernetic fingers I can easily handle those Duros keeping them off your back" Gerlon holds up his hand gripping his fingers showing his cybernetics prosthetics."
Shay eyes the new prosthetics. "When did you get those Gerlon?"
Gerlon smirks at this. "I got these around the time you left to the academy to train as a Jedi. Trowa's sister here hooked up with some replacement top of the line prosthetics. They're almost as good as my old real fingers. Trust me Stranger had you fought me in the dueling ring if I had these the match could have gone either way."
"Hey, don't hog all the limelight Gerlon! I'm coming with you as well Trowa." I couldn't help but stare at Duncan in disbelieve. I don't think someone as clumsily as Duncan would be much help. "Hey, don't give me that look! Your sister helped me with my problem. I wasn't sure what she did only that it has something to do with my nervous system or something being shot. She just put her hand on my back then I felt immediately better than I had in years. I'm not clumsy anymore, I can actually shoot a moving target just ask Gerlon." Said Duncan.
I look to Gerlon who nods. "Yeah, he's telling the truth. Yeah, I know trust me. I was as surprised as you when I saw Duncan actually fight a group of Kath hounds easily without so much as a scratch."
"I guess if Gerlon vouches for you I'll take your word for it. So, I got two volunteers already who else?" I asked.
"Hey, don't forget me, kid. I know you're a Mandalorian but your still new to this and just got your armor today. I fought the Mandalorians before so I'm coming with you." Said Carth
"I'm coming kid as well. I will help keep those Duros off your back but the Mandalorian is yours to defeat." Said Canderous.
Shay then stands in front of me. "I'm coming with. As you said there is nothing wrong with helping someone in need. You're my friend so I intend to help master's permission be damn."
Ikiryo smiles at this. "It's good to see my brother make such trustworthy friends. Now Shay do perhaps have a reliable weapon you can use?"
"Umm…I have this Vibroblade. I don't suppose you have another sword I could use perhaps?" asked and embarrassed Shay.
"I do here I'll loan you this until you dealt with the Dar'manda." Ikiryo holds out a unique looking lightsaber prominently steel black in color. The lightsaber I recognized as one of the lightsabers my sister owns that she showed me was called the Vindicator Lightsaber.
Shay takes the lightsaber observing the unique design before activating it igniting the bright purple hilt. Shay is then transfixed on the color of the blade as he stares at it for a moment before observing the flowing electricity in the hilt. "This…is a really nice lightsaber." Said Shay with awe in his voice."
"So how does it feel?" asked a smirking Ikiryo.
"It feels…so right." Shay then turns to Jon. "I will protect you and your fellow settlers from these raiders."
Jon is surprised at the declaration for a moment before cooling it. "Thank you, Master Jedi."
"Okay, guys let go. I believe I saw Sarna and Mission in the mess hall. Let's stop by and ask for their help." I then lead the group heading to the mess hall.
Arriving at the mess hall we found Sarna, Mission, and Zaalbar sitting on one of the tables. As I approached them, I noticed Sarna was looking a bit glum as she was conversing with Mission. "Hey Mission, how long do think it will be until Shay finishes his training?"
Mission shrugs. "I don't know. Why are you asking? You worried about him?"
"Not per se…just wish we could hang out with one another more…instead of him hanging with that stuck-up bitch Bastila." Muttered Sarna.
Mission smirks at this. "Hmm…feeling a wee bit jealous are we, Sarna."
"No why would I be jealous of her for! I'm way better than that princess!" exclaimed Sarna.
Before Sarna could say anything else I made my presence known. I then pointed to Shay telling her we were going Raider hunting. Sarna was immediately at Shay's side happy to see him after so long hugging him. It wasn't hard convincing her to join us. As for Mission who has been in a happier mood lately after learning from Ikiryo that Gadon and most of the Beks survived was more than happy to join us. Of course, Zaalbar joins as well as he is Mission's Guardian.
I thought about looking for Judson, but Mission told me he was on a date. Technically he went patrolling out in the plains and his partner just so happened to be a girl he likes. Maybe we'll run into him out there.
Making our way out of the Firebase we surprisingly run into Xion who was leading a middle-aged man and woman. "Xion! You're a sight for sore eyes. What are you doing here? I thought the Jedi were keeping you on a tight leash with Bastila." I said as I glance at Shay hiding behind Zaalbar.
"Ha, ha very funny. I'm here for two reasons. The first was to get Shay whose playing hooky when we are supposed to be taking our final lessons from Master Dorak. His Apprenticeship is almost over and soon will undertake his Trials. Second, these farmer couples asked me if I could safely guide them here to the Firebase which I heard is now the new Dantooine Administration." Said Xion.
Turning to the couple I took off my helmet then addressed them. "So, what brings you two all the way out here? And I work on base so no I'm not a crazy Mandalorian. I don't bite promise."
The couple appears to relax at this. "My name is Gar. Me and my fine wife Rilka here..."
"A pleasure." Piped Rilka.
Gar then continues. "... live on one of the northern farms. But the Kath hounds and the Mandalorian problem has been getting really bad of late, and we originally came to the Enclave to ask the Jedi Council for help but had been waiting for hours with no answer. So, we decided to try and come here instead as there was a new Dantooine Administration backed by the War Hero the Lion King that has been supplying aid helping us Farmers."
"You mentioned Kath hounds?" asked Shay now entering the conversation.
"Recently the Kath hounds have been acting much more aggressively. They've even attacked some of the settlers! Those Mandalorian raiders have been milking the outlying farms dry, too... I just heard Jon's farm got hit really bad. I hope Jon and his daughter got out safe." Said Gar.
"Don't worry. Jon and his daughter are at the base. His daughter got hurt and is undergoing surgery. I'm confident she'll pull through. The doctors there are the best in the galaxy." Piped Gerlon.
"That's good to hear Ilsa survived. It would be a shame if something bad happened to those two." Said Rilka
Canderous scoffs "He should have been protecting her better if he wanted to keep her."
"Don't be so heartless Canderous." Angrily said Carth.
"Mandalorian beast! Some of us don't like fighting and killing and butchering as much as you!" retorted Gar. "I'm not sure exactly what the Council will do about it, but we need some help with this. I only hope this new Administration will listen to me... Is there anything else you require?"
"No, but my sister the one who leads the Firebase has sent me to deal with the Mandalorian Raiders," I said.
Gar smiles at this. "Thank you, young man. With the Sith invasion, the Republic doesn't have the manpower to hunt these raiders down. The Jedi are even worse off because Malak has been hunting them specifically which is why they have been reluctant to divest any manpower. They're worried that he might even be supporting these raiders, so don't want to face them directly. That puts us in a kind of hard situation. I'm grateful you have taken up this task. Is there anything else I can help you with?"
"What can you tell me about Dantooine? Are there many farms here on Dantooine?" asked Shay.
"Well, as you can see here, Dantooine is mostly plains and grassland, but it has nice hearty soil. A lot of new people have come in the last generation or so. Hm... the ones you'll most likely hear about are the Sandrals and Matales. Big, wealthy landowners, both of them. But Ahlan Matale and Nurik Sandral just can't seem to get along, and now Ahlan wants to get the Council to do something." Replied Gar.
Well, that sounds ominous. "Do something? Has something happened?" I asked.
"Well... from what I hear it started about almost a week ago. See, Nurik's son Casus is an archaeologist, bright lad too, but he disappeared. Nurik of course blamed Ahlan, but even he didn't take it before the Council. But now Ahlan's son Shen has disappeared as well... and no one knows where he's gone. Ahlan blames Nurik. He thinks he's kidnapped his son. I don't know exactly what he wants to ask the Council, but from what I know of Ahlan, he's probably going to be after blood..." said Gar.
"I see…Well it's time for us to be going," I said.
"Farewell, then. May the Force be with you, is that how it goes? Yes, may the Force be with you." Said Gar as he and his wife head into the Firebase.
"So Xion what are you going to do? We're heading to deal with the raiders. Care to join?" I asked.
Xion shakes her head. "Unfortunately, no. The masters really wanted Shay back, but I see this is important, so I'll head back and stall the master's until you get back."
Shay sighs in relief. "Thanks, Xion I owe you one."
With that Xion then departs heading back to the enclave. As for the rest of us, we finally start our hunt for the Mandalorian Raiders, I'm honestly shaking in excitement at the chance to test out my Mandalorian armor out.
3rd POV
In the great plains of Dantooine, a large group of 11 were clearing out large groups of ravenous Kath hounds that have been causing trouble to the settlers. With Trowa's large party Mainly 5 of the 11 are contending with the Kath hounds. Trowa and Shay were the main frontline fighters with Shay using his loaned lightsaber slicing and dicing his way through the Kath hounds. Trowa using his armors jetpack was gliding in the air firing rockets and raining blaster fire from above. Carth, Gerlon, and Duncan were acting as their support giving them suppressive fire.
As for the rest of the group Mission, Sarna, Tamamo and Kiyohime were pretty much the team cheerleader as they cheered the boys on as they mainly admired Shay's blade work and Trowa's aerial maneuvers. The girls also gathered up anything useful after every skirmish. As for Zaalbar and Canderous, the Wookiee merely stood bodyguard for the women while Canderous now clad in Silver and grey Mandalorian Seeker armor was standing by giving tips to Trowa in use of his armors hidden gadgets.
At the west end of the plains grounds, the groups come across a beat-up farm that looked like a grenade went off. They then spot two land speeders where a Mandalorian, accompanied by three Duros warriors is threatening a farmer and his family a woman and her daughters who are huddled together behind a rock.
The Mandalorian sneers at the cowering man. "You've been holding out on us again. Since you haven't given us enough money, I guess we're going to have to take it out of you piece by piece!"
"No! Please! Take my wife and children instead!" begged the cowering Farmer. The wife and her two children stared at her husband in horror.
The moment those words left his mouth the entire party was completely disgusted at the cowering man that they barely registered when the Mandalorian guns down the man. "Mmm… Wife and children. Sounds like a good idea…" He then stares at the cowering wife and her two daughters. "The wife not half bad looking. Should be good for a few rounds then we can sell her and the kids on Nar Shaddaa."
Just as the Mandalorian was about to take a step he notices movement as he spots our heroes. "Hmm looks like we got guest and…I see two Mando among them. Sorry guys but this spot are already taken. You'll have to find another mark." He then glances at the 4 women in their group. "Then again perhaps you could stay maybe trade one of our hauls or perhaps…share."
Canderous glares at the Mando in disgust. "Dishonorable scum! Trowa! Kill this Dar'manda! Wipe this stain out of existence."
"Gladly!" exclaimed Trowa as he unclips his helmet from his back placing it back on his head. "Time to die Dar'manda scum!"
The Mandalorian quickly takes notice of their hostilities. "Shit, Boys look alive they're gunning for us!"
As the raiders focus their blasters on our heroes Trowa is already blasting in the air heading straight for the Mandalorian.
The Duros was about to focus their attention on the obvious threat but the sound of Shay igniting his Violet lightsaber as he charges straight at them force their attention on him as they rain blaster fire on him. Unfortunately for them Shay effortlessly blocked their blaster shot deflecting on bolt hitting one Duros in the head. Shay moving far faster with force speed quickly reaches them bisecting the last two in half.
Back with Trowa, he is blasting the Mando in the air but his shots are brushed off easily on the Mando's armor. Trowa then fires rockets at the Mando forcing him to run but manages to land one of the rockets next to the Mando blasting him to the ground. Trowa immediately capitalizes on this by taking out his Cathar Warblade rockets straight for the Mando. The Mando sees this and throws a grenade at Trowa who in turn quickly kicks the grenade back to the Mando surprising him as it explodes blasting him hard on the ground but still alive. Trowa is then immediately on him as he thrust his blade into the Mando's unprotected neck killing him instantly.
"Wow, you guys took them out easily." Inputted Mission as she starts searching the bodies with the others.
Carth and Duncan then run over to the wife and her two daughters. "Are you two all right?" asked Carth.
"Yes sir. Thank you for saving us." Thanked the woman.
"Don't mention it. Shay and Trowa did all the work. Umm sorry for your…loss?" said Duncan as he glances at the man's body.
The woman glares at the lifeless corpse that was her husband. "No need for sorry. He chose his life over us. I'll shed no tears for him. What love between us died at that moment of betrayal."
"Umm…perhaps you like some help to get someplace safer?" asked Duncan.
The woman smiles back at Duncan. "Yes, I would like that very much. Could you help me gather some things from the house before we leave?"
"Sure…of course." Stuttered Duncan as the woman and her two kids head back into the ruined farm to pack.
Gerlon walks up to Duncan elbowing him in the arm. "Looks like you volunteered to stay behind to bring them back to base. Take care of them Deadeye."
"Hey! Don't worry Gerlon I will. Besides I'm not a deadeye anymore." Said Duncan.
As the rest of the group finishes collecting the spoils from the dead raiders, they get back on the trail searching for more raiders leaving Duncan behind. Now heading into another area in the Grove the party encounters more viscous Kath hounds as they continue to attack relentlessly.
As the last Kath hound in the area is slain Sarna voices her opinion. "Hey guys, don't you find it strange that these Kath hounds are so aggressive against us."
"You're not the only one. Kath hounds are normally this aggressive nor are they this coordinated in a pack." Added Carth.
"Hey Big Z what think of this?" asked Mission.
"I don't know. Something smells off with these hounds. I think something is directing them." Growled Zaalbar.
Canderous checks some nearby bushes. "Hey, guys come here. Looks like I found where our Dar'manda went."
The party gathers around Canderous as they noticed chewed up Mandalorian bodies. Checking further up they find even more. "How did a bunch of Mandalorians bite the dust against Kath hounds." Asked Trowa.
"They didn't. Look." Canderous points to scorch marks on their bodies. "These men were killed by a lightsaber then dragged away by these mutts." Said Canderous as he points to a pillar of ruins a little away from them surrounded by bodies of Mandalorians and other aliens.
"This looks, ominous master. Perhaps it would be best if Kiyohime and I investigate for your safety." Offered Tamamo.
Trowa takes off his helmet as he lifts Tamamo's chin up gently to his face staring for the eye to eye contact. "Tamamo, I'm going in there and you and Kiyo are staying back with the others. I know you want to protect me, but I need to do this. Not just because Oneechan is testing me but because...I need this. Please trust me Tamamo."
Tamamo blushes hard at the contact as she easily wilts at his eyes pierces her soul. "Ye…s master. I trust you."
"Please be safe Master." Said a blushing Kiyohime.
Trowa then gives them a heartwarming smile. "Thanks, girls. I promise I'll…reward you two for all the help you've given me."
Both girls pipe up at this as they imagine what kind of reward, he will give them. "Come back, safe Master!"
"Man, those three are just so lovey dovely. Is almost sickening." Said Mission.
"I can't help but feel envious of those two." Said Sarna as she glances at Shay.
Following Trowa's lead, the part enters the old ruins litter with broken pillars. As they reached the end, they find a female Wrothian with white fair skin, short blond hair in a ponytail, prominent ears on her head, and a tail wearing a reddish-orange bodysuit with the chest and backside exposed meditating. She then gets up as she notices the party as she glares at them with sickly yellow eyes.
She raises her hands as she cast stasis on the party stunning them in place with only Trowa, Shay, Canderous, Tamamo, and Kiyohime unaffected. The Wrothian was surprised at this. "Strange, I expected this from the Jedi but not the Mandalorians or those two near humans. No matter I'll kill all of you. Come to my pets!"
A dozen Kath hounds gather around the Wrothian. "Kill the Jedi! The Mandalorian is Mine!" The horde of Kath hounds' attack.
"Shay handle the Kath Hounds while I hold the woman off. Keep those mutts away from our friends!" Shouted Trowa as he acts fast as he rockets toward the dark Jedi firing a few tracer missiles at the Hounds killing two of them as he meets the Dark Jedi's crimson lightsaber with his Cathar Honor blade.
Back with the others Tamamo and Kiyohime make a step to intervene but Canderous holds his hand out. "No, this is their fight. If they can't handle this on their own, then they can't handle the dangers will face in the future." The two servants look toward their master in worry but nod and understanding as they stay back praying for their master's victory.
The Wrothian is angered at the sight of the blade that belonged to her people wielded by a Mandalorian. "How dare you desecrate that blade with your filthy hands Mandalorian! I kill you and avenge my fallen brethren you murdering monster!"
The Wrothian viciously attacks Trowa as he uses his Ki enhanced strength and speed to deflect her strikes. While he is busy keeping the Wrothian at bay Shay is making short work of the Kath Hounds as he tears through them two at a time. Not long he picks up the last Hound with the force throwing his blade into the hound's chest killing it.
Back with the ensuing dual, the Wrothian continues her relentless assault on Trowa. As she repeatedly hammers Trowa with overhead swings she manages to force Trowa on one knee. The Wrothian smiles in glee at the Mandalorians moment of weakness as to make to strike to finish him off only for Trowa to ignite his jetpack regaining his balance as he focuses Ki to his legs pushing off leaping toward the Wrothian surprising her as he abruptly deflects her blow then rocket punches her in the face knocking her back hitting a pillar hard.
While the Wrothian struggles to get back up Shay is now finished with all the Kath hounds he forces jumps over to Trowa. "I handle the rest." He then Force jumps to the Wrothian who finally got back on her feet saber locking his violet saber with the Wrothian's red. "Stay out of this Jedi! That scum must die for all the death his kind has caused." Screamed the Wrothian
"Sorry, no can do. That's my best friend there. He had nothing to do with that last war as he just started his Mando training. So no you can't hurt him." Retorted Shay. This only infuriated the woman as she viciously attacked Shay but was quickly on the defensive when Shay went on the offensive. Shay's speed, strength, and skill simply were too much for the Wrothian as Shay overwhelms her destroying her lightsaber.
As the Wrothian falls to her knees in defeat at the loss of her lightsaber her stasis on the others fades. "You... you are strong. Stronger than me, even in my darkness."
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Demanded Shay.
"I am Juhani, and this is my grove. This is the place of my dark power. This is the place you have invaded. When I embraced the dark side, this was where I sought my solace. It is MINE!"
"You were a Jedi then. Wait you've been corrupting the Kath hounds?" accused Shay.
"Yes... Aren't they pretty? My pets... They like the smell of power I exude. They know their master. I harnessed true power when I struck down my Master, Quatra." Said Juhani with a hint of regret in her voice.
Juhani continues. "When I slew my Master, Quatra, I knew I could never go back. And now I revel in my dark power. Power enough to crush the life from someone such as you... or so I had thought..."
"The dark side is never powerful enough. Now tell me did you really slew Quatra, your Master?" asked Shay.
Juhani looks down in shame. "Yes, I struck her down in the middle of training, consumed by my anger, embracing the power of hate! But... it was not enough..."
"Why are you doing this? Was this all really necessary.?" Exclaimed Shay.
"I have fallen and dark power courses through my veins. I can never go back to the Council, so here I shall stay." Said the downtrodden Wrothian.
"I just want to talk." Asked Shay.
"Talk?! You who have beaten me so easily just want to talk? I do not believe it. Kill me now, while you still have the power." Shouted Juhani.
Shay deactivates his lightsaber. "I have no desire to kill you, Juhani. I do not hold anger towards you, Juhani.
Juhani is taken aback by this action. "You... you do not?" Juhani then laughs bitterly. "I am pathetic. I sit here and think myself to be great by embracing the dark side, but I am nothing! There is no way I could be turned back! I always thought they held me back, were jealous of my power. But it is only because I was not good enough to meet their standards... I never have been."
"Come now, Juhani. You are a beautiful young woman who has many talents." Complimented Shay. Sarna who was watching this face sours in Jealousy.
Juhani smiles at the compliment. "I thank you for your kind words, Jedi. I seem to still have much to learn… Both about being a Jedi, and about myself. But I wish the cost of my ignorance had not been so high. I wish that my Master had not suffered because of me."
"It is not your fault, Juhani." Assured Shay.
"I only wish things could have been different...If she were alive now, there would be so much I would say to her… So much I would apologize for. Oh, how can the Council ever take me back with what I have done? Striking my Master down in anger is unforgivable!" mourned Juhani
"Do not worry, Juhani. They will surely take you back." Assured Shay.
"I should convince them that I am truly repentant, that I am willing to forsake the dark side. Maybe, just maybe, they would accept me back. Do you think they would? Could it be possible after what I have done?" asked/begged Juhani.
"Of course, it would. They would always accept you back. You don't have to wallow here in the darkness." Shay holds his hand out. "Please take my hand. Step back into the light."
Juhani stares at Shay in awe as she grabs his hand as he pulls her onto her feet. "I... I thank you, master Jedi. I will return to the Council, then. I shall submit myself to their judgment, and hope that they will forgive me. Again, I thank you. I am sure I will hear great things about you in the future."
As Juhani leaves Sarna approaches Shay elbowing him in the stomach. "You were quite chummy with her, weren't you. I guess any girl would do for you." Shay scratching his head in confusion not understanding Sarna's sudden behavior. While with Trowa his girls were gushing over him.
After the rest of the group finished searching the bodies, they went back on the trail searching for more raiders. As they continue traveling through the Grove, they encounter several more Kath Hounds but unlike before they weren't nearly as aggressive. Not long after they finally came across another group of Mandalorian Raiders.
Trowa dealt with the Mandalorian blasting him with Tracer Missiles before finishing him off with a Rail Shot in the head. While Shay deflected the oncoming blaster fire Gerlon, Carth and Zaalbar were able to rain blaster fire finishing them off from behind.
Checking the bodies collecting the spoils they came across datapads with messages indicating the Raiders know of them going around hunting them. And that a message was sent out to the rest of the Raiders group was to meet up to deal with the meddlers. "Hey, guys, looks like we just hit the jackpot. Looks like all the Raiders are congregating in one area to plan how to deal with us. How about we crash this meeting?" asked a cheeky Shay.
"I'm in. Let's kick these guys off Dantooine!" piped Gerlon.
"Okay guys but don't get cocky. The message 0was sent out to multiple groups. We may be in for a serious fight." Cautioned Carth.
"Relax republic. I'm certain Shay and Trowa can handle anything they throw at them." Said Canderous. Canderous assurance didn't alleviate Carth's worry.
Not wasting time, the party head toward the meeting point. Reaching further into the grove traveling through some foliage the party approaches an open area where they find over 2 dozen Mandalorian Raiders and their Duros henchmen.
"Damn! Get behind some cover everyone! Don't let them see you." Quietly exclaimed Carth as everyone gets behind trees and boulders. "This is far more than we thought! We have to retreat. We won't stand chance against over 2 dozen of those guys!"
Canderous surveys the raiders turning away in disgust. "They're pathetic. They're taking scraps when they should be taking worlds." Shaking his he turns back to the party. "Relax republic, we can still handle them especially if these girls here and I join in." Canderous points to Tamamo and Kiyohime.
Carth has a look of disbelief on his face. "Not to doubt the girl's abilities but I don't see how these two joinings in can benefit our odds. I'm calling the General to see if she'll send backup."
Carth takes out his holo com as he calls Ikiryo. After a moment of waiting, she answers as a small holo version of Ikiryo is projected. "You called Carth. Is there a problem?"
"Yes General, we encountered over 2 dozen Mandalorian Raiders. I'm requesting reinforcements, Ma'am." Requested Carth.
"Denied." Bluntly said Ikiryo.
Carth stumbles at Ikiryo's blunt answer. "What? But why?"
"I sent you guys to handle this. Trowa, do you think you can beat these odds?" asked Ikiryo.
Trowa takes off his helmet showing the resolution on his face. "We can handle it. I promise we'll beat the odds."
Ikiryo smiles at this. "Good to hear. You heard my brother Carth. I suggest utilizing my brother's girlfriends. They may not look it, but their combat prowess is on par with those on the Knights of the Rounds. Bloodraven out."
Ending the transmission Carth deeply sighs rubbing his head before turning to the two servants. "Okay girls. The General has full confidence in your skills. She hasn't proven me wrong before, so I'll place my trust in you. So Trowa, you leading this operation what's the plan?"
Trowa smirks as he turns to Mission and Zaalbar. "Hey Mission, how many mines do we have?"
"Lots, why?" responded Mission.
"Good, I going to need you, Zaalbar, and Sarna to set mines around this area. The terrain here has plenty of spots to hide mines as well as provide plenty of cover for us, so I want you to booby trap the place as we are going to lure them all over here. We'll use hit and run tactics to whittle them down." Said Trowa.
"Not a bad plan. It's a start. I suggest we equip these energy shields I requestioned on base. These energy shields are rechargeable and were developed and used during the war. These shields will hold out against 2-3 blaster shots before being blown out. You'll have to get back in cover to let them recharge. Unfortunately, I only brought three with me so who should these go to?" suggested Carth.
"I believe Mission, Sarna, and Zaalbar should get the shields. The rest of us can just use the disposable energy shields we obtained on Taris." Suggested Shay.
Trowa nods in agreement. "Okay, then that's the plan. Let's hurry and set those mines then the girls, Shay, and I will lure them out here." The party then quickly get to work as they set up mines around the area. After a couple of minutes, they finish as Trowa leads the diversion group to confront the raiders.
As Trowa's team approaches the raiders they take notice of them as a group of Mandalorians walk up to meet them. "Ah, so this is the meddler. I heard there was a Jedi and a rogue Mandalorian. You two have caused us far too much trouble for a mere Jedi and his Mandalorian pet." Spat the Raider leader.
"And you must be the Dar'manda scumbag giving us Mandalorians a bad name. I've been tasked to wipe your existence from this world." Retorted Trowa.
The Mandalorian chuckles at this. "Dar'manda! Ah, I see you must be one of those weaklings that threw themselves at the Lion King's feet begging for mercy after the war. I'm Sherruk and I will add your head as well as that Jedi with the rest of the Jedi I have killed and taken another lightsaber for my own! And don't think I have forgotten about those two beauties over there. They'll do fine servicing our men as they join the other spoils we obtained before we eventually sell what's left of them to the exchange. Now you will know why the Mandalorians are feared!"
At the insinuation of doing unspeakable things to his servants, Trowa fires off his fusion missile from his jetpack into a crowd of raiders killing 3 Duros in the blast scorching one of the Mandalorians but not too worst for wear.
As Trowa blasts off in the air raining fire on them he slowly flies back into the foliage of the grove as the others do the same. "Come and get me ugly!" taunted Tamamo as she slaps her ass to the raiders raising the charm. The action was chorused by Kiyohime as they both ran back into the foliage to lead the raiders to the traps.
Sherruk addresses the rest of his group. "All right boys were going hunting!" He then points to a red armored Mando. "Hazor take 5 men and hunt that Jedi!" Sherruk then points to two other Mando. "You two are with me, we're hunting that boot-licker. Goren takes the rest and goes after the merchandise. And watch out they're probably leading us into a trap!" The raiders then chase after Trowa's group separating into three groups with the bulk of 6 Mandalorians and 8 Duros chasing after the girls.
As the two servants zigzag around the foliage giggling luring the raiders Mission was set up on top of a hill over surveying the chase down below. Observing that the raiders were near the mines but keep keeping their distance she used her remote denotator to detonate mines around them. This action caused many of the raiders mainly the Duros to panic as they try to get behind some cover unfortunately for them, they stopped paying attention to their feet like a 2 of them stepped on a mine killing them.
As the rest of the Raiders try to regroup, they hear a loud growl as a massive Wookiee barrel through them knocking a few off their feet trampling one of the Duros to death. The Mando's of the group quickly reorient themselves as they aim shots at the Wookiee but are then beset by blaster fire. Looking toward the source they find another Mandalorian unknown to them.
Canderous hefts his Heavy Repeating Blaster charging his shot aiming at the Mando. "Now this is what I've been waiting for! Come at me Dar'manda scum!" Canderous fires his charged shot straight at one of the Mandalorians hitting him in the chest knocking him out on his back.
As Canderous lays siege on the Mandalorians of the group Carth, Sarna and Gerlon are taking potshots at the remaining 6 Duros. As Sarna tries to line one of her shots one of the Duros manages to score a shot to her head luckily only blowing her shields out as she ducks back behind cover. "Damn it! That almost killed me."
Gerlon leans out of cover laying suppressing fire for Sarna to catch her breath. "Suck it up. Your shields will recharge. I just went through two disposable shields and now on my last one and you don't see me complaining!"
Sarna grunts as her shield finish recharging as she returns fire. "Carth! How long do we have to hold out until we get some support!"
Carth who was firing both of his blasters behind his cover manages to shoot one of the Duros in the leg wounding him. "Just hold out a little longer. The girls should be back to back us up soon! Then we will push them back together…" The sounds of flesh being torn apart is a ring out soon followed by pained screams.
Carth and the others peer out of cover taking note that shards of ice poking out of the ground skewing two of the Duros as their blood is splattered on the ice. The other Duros were dumbfounded not understanding what happened but not able to ponder very long as a stream of blue fire hits two more of the Duros as one is killed immediately by the flame as the others run screaming on fire before falling over dead.
The last two panicked not understanding what is going on try to run but are met by a flying mirror as it zooms by slicing one of the Duros head off. The last Duros then collapses on the ground too stricken with fear to even move. Not a moment later the Duros is skewered by a glaive as the green-haired servant bisects the Duros in half. Kiyohime finishes flinging the blood off her blade as she greets the others with a bright smile. "Sorry for the wait. We were held up dealing with more of those raiders trying to ambush us."
Tamamo then joins the rest of them with her mirror floating around her with blood still dripping from it. "Those Raiders have no class. They had no shame in making a pure maiden late. They even got their filthy blood on my mirror! The nerve of some people!"
Sarna and Gerlon stare at the two in disbelief that they easily took out the raiders. "Damn! I guess Caster's faith in you two wasn't misplaced. You two definitely fight in a similar but unique style like the Knights of the Rounds." Complimented Sarna.
Gerlon gives a sharp whistle. "Damn, Sexy and Deadly. A dangerous combination. Trowa is one lucky bastard."
"Okay, enough bantering. We have to regroup with Mission and the others. Canderous and Zaalbar won't be able to hold those Mandalorians off for long." Ordered Carth. Carth then leads them to meet back up with Mission's group.
In another part of the grove, Shay was in his element as he zooms past the blaster fire easily deflecting them back at the Mando raiders as he closes in cuts one of the Mando's arms off before skewering him in the chest. Quickly pulling out his lightsaber Shay deflects the oncoming fire from the other four Mandalorians he reaches out with the force grabbing a nearby boulder from the ground slamming it into one of the Mandalorians caving his skull in.
The red armored Mandalorian Hazor then holds his hand. "Hold your fire men. This Jedi won't die from blaster fire like the others. Switch to melee." As the other 3 take out, Vibroblades Hazor then takes out a lightsaber igniting its green blade. "Sherruk wasn't the only one who killed one of you Jedi. Though the one who owned this, she was quite the fighter that one. Especially when I bedded her. Her screams were music to my ears. Shame I broke her. Oh well, I'm sure I can replace her with one of yours."
Shay's eyes narrow at the insinuation as he grabs another rock with the force recalling what he seen Xion does doing their training he breaks the rock into smaller pieces then launches a barrage of rocks at the 4 Mandalorians. As Shay peppers their armor with rocks keeping them off balance he closes the distance aiming his purple blade straight at one of the Mandalorian's heads cutting it clean off.
As the last of the rocks barrage dies down the Mando immediately take note another of their own has died as they quickly surround Shay and attack him. Shay in a burst of speed intercepts all their blades as he deflects, dodges, and attacks the three Mandalorians in a brutal fast-paced melee.
As Shay battles it out with his opponents Trowa is firing tracer missiles at the three Mandalorians from above. The explosions rock the area as the three Mando try to close the distance as they try to shoot him down. Trowa then rockets toward one of the Mando rocket punching him in the face then ignites his flamethrower straight in the face burning the Mandalorian alive.
Trowa's danger senses flare as he instinctively dodges the blazing blue saber about to bisect his head as he tries to rocket away but is met by blaster fire as it manages to hit his jetpack malfunctioning it as he rockets out of control hitting a rock hard.
Sherruk chuckles at Trowa struggling to get back up. "Looks like your luck run out welp. Time to die!" Sherruk swings his blue blade straight down on Trowa.
Trowa on the other hand at the last-minute shifts the Cathar Warblade on his back to deflect the killing blow then kicks off Sherruk running full speed to the other Mandalorian firing a well-aimed tracer missile to the Mando chest staggering him. Trowa wastes not a moment as his Ki enhanced speed closes the distances as he plunges his Warblade into the Mando's chest killing him.
Trowa then pulls out his blade flinging the blood off as he eyes the last Mando. "And now there was only one."
Sherruk scoffs at his comrade's deaths. "I'm going to enjoy killing you kid!" He then pulls out another lightsaber igniting its red blade as he charges at Trowa with the other doing the same as both clash their blades together in a brutal melee.
Back with Mission's group Mission was taking potshots at Mandalorians from her vantage point with her new sniper blaster rifle. So far, her shots only managed to stagger the Mando below as Canderous unleashes a flurry of blaster fire on them. All the while Zaalbar used hit and run tactics as he keeps rushing the Mando striking at a few wounding some then escapes back into the foliage to repeat.
One of the Mandalorians was getting irritated at the constant assault so he activates his last energy shield as he runs around Canderous line of fire. The Mando now out of Canderous sight rushes Canderous blade in hand as he closes the distance as he swings his blade straight at Canderous's head. Just as the blade was about to make contact Canderous instantly dodges the strike grabbing the Mando's arm then stomps hard on the Mando's leg in the knee breaking it. The Mandalorian lets out a pained scream as Canderous with one arm lifts the Mando slamming him on the ground then blast him in the face with blaster fire that even Beskar armor couldn't protect him killing him.
Canderous scoffs at the Mandalorian. "Pathetic! Fool actually thought he could get the jump on me!" Canderous loads up frag grenades in the grenade launcher attachment to his repeating blaster. "How about I kick it up a notch! Eat this!" Canderous then fires a servo of grenades from his grenade launcher at the remaining five Mando knocking a few of them hard into nearby trees and rocks.
When the explosions died down Zaalbar wasted no time as he jumped one of the downed Mandalorians plunging his blade into the Mando's neck killing him then runs back into the foliage.
The red armored Mandalorian Goren is infuriated that yet another of his is killed. "Damn that Wookiee! All right men with me were going to first hunt down that Wookiee pest then we'll kill that Mandalorian traitor!" Just as Goren made a step, he steps on a piece of paper with strange writing he didn't recognize before lighting up exploding knocking him hard into a tree.
Goren wasn't able to reorient himself as moments later a mirror flies by slicing his neck open forcing him to drown in his own blood. The remaining three Mando spot the mirror that killed Goren shoot at it only for their shots to be deflected back. They weren't able to come up with a solution to their problem before they were beseeched by a stream of blue fire forcing them to run blindly in separate directions from the flames.
As one of the Mandalorians tries to put out the flames he finds himself coming onto blaster fire from Carth, Sarna, and Gerlon. It wasn't long until his armored failed him and he was killed. With another Mandalorian, he managed to put out the flames but is put on edge as he hears a girl giggling echoing around him. He swerves in all directions trying to point out the source of the voice. The Mando then hears giggling behind as he turns around his arm is sliced off blaster and all. The Mando stares dumbfounded at his decapitated arm as his nerves are in shock not processing the pain yet as he looks up finding a green-haired woman smiling at him before blowing a stream of blue fire burning him alive.
The last Mandalorian is still running trying to call for help but is interrupted with a sniper blaster shot to the head courtesy of Mission. The Mando falls to the ground his helmet falling off as his head is bleeding but still alive but as he looks up disorientated, he finds a huge angry Wookiee glaring at him. Only the sounds of pained screams were heard as loud growls echo out.
Back with Shay, he was still engaged in a fast-paced sword battle with three Mandalorians with one wielding a green lightsaber. As their clash continues Shay starts to fight a little dirty gripping one with the force pulling him hard toward him skewering him on his purple blade. Kicking him off he blocks a saber strike from Hazor then holds the other Mando in place with the force lifting him with the force. Shay focuses his grip on the Mando's neck as he strangles the Mandalorian to death then throws his body toward Hazor knocking him to the ground.
Hazor quickly gets back on his feet and is immediately met with a purple saber he barely blocked. Hazor is then put on the defensive as Shay's relentless assault overwhelms him as a few of his strikes bypass Hazor's defensive scorching his armor. Not for long Shay cut off one of Hazor's legs before finishing him by cutting his head.
Shay then breathes a sign of relief deactivating his lightsaber as he picks up the Saber Hazor had. "I'll be keeping this, thanks."
Not long after Carth and the others reach Shay. "I see you were busy hot stuff. You really know your way around a lightsaber." Complimented Sarna.
"Where's Trowa?" asked Gerlon.
Shay points in the opposite direction. "He should be in that direction. Let's go. He may need our help." Shay then leads the group toward Trowa's general location.
Back with Trowa, he is engaged in a brutal melee clash against the Raider leader Sherruk who is duel wielding blue and red lightsabers. Trowa blocks and deflects Sherruk's assault throwing kicks and a blast of the flamethrower to the face deterring Sherruk. As the two continued their clash Shay and the others arrived watching the fight. Shay was about to intervene and help his friend but Canderous grabbed his shoulder shaking his head. "No, this is the kid's fight."
Not far from them both Tamamo and Kiyohime were closely watching the fight silently cheering their Master on.
As the fight continued Sherruk noticed that Trowa's allies were there watching them signifying that his allies were all dead. Infuriated by this he leaped at Trowa planning to kill him as he slams his sabers hard into Trowa's blade knocking it out of his hand.
The party gasps at the action as Sherruk swings an overhead strike on Trowa planning to finish the fight. Trowa refusing to lose rushes full speed at Sherruk holding his hands out as he grabs both of Sherruk's hands. Sherruk struggles trying to get out of Trowa's grip. "Let go brat!"
Both seemed at a stalemate as they held in place until Trowa started pushing back as he ran Sherruk back into a tree. Trowa then squeezes hard on Sherruk's hands as he turns the sabers toward the Mandalorian inching it closer to his head. "This…can't be. I won't lose to…some welp!" struggled Sherruk.
Trowa further inches the blades closer to the Mando's head. "Time to die Dar'manda!" Trowa focuses his Ki enhanced strength in his hands as he forces the blades to X slice Sherruk's head off. Trowa stares at the Dar'manda's lifeless body for a moment before deactivating the two sabers in hand stowing them on his belt.
Not a second longer the rest of the group cheer for Trowa as they congratulate him. Both of his Servants are immediately at his side congratulating him. "You did it, Master! You were so amazing!" cheered Tamamo.
"You were so cool back there with the swords. I think they suit you." Complimented Kiyohime.
"Thanks, guys." Trowa then strips the Mandalorian armor off of the lifeless corpse stowing it. Then finishes by drawing the Ansuz rune burning the body.
"Hey, that's a nice trick you did right there. Could you teach me?" asked Mission as she tries duplicating what Trowa did failing.
Trowa shakes his head. "Sorry Mission, family secret." Mission pouts at that. "Okay, guys let head home."
"Wait!" exclaimed Shay. "This datapad I found on the raiders says their camp isn't far from here. There should be some captives there in need of rescuing." Said Shay.
The party immediately agree to head to the camp. So, the party makes use of the raider's speeders making their trip faster as they arrive in a few minutes. The camp had a few guards which the party easily dealt with. They then freed the five captives settlers 4 of them women and the last an alien.
Providing the now freed settlers transport they take them back to the Firebase though on the way they picked up another settler who was being attacked by Kath Hounds by the name of Casus Sandral. He was barely alive when they found him but they stabilized him enough as they transported him back to the Firebase handling him and the rest of the settlers over to the Infirmary to look them over. Shay uses this opportunity to give back the lightsaber he borrowed before heading back to the enclave. As everyone else filtered out doing their own thing Trowa takes his two servants into the Phantom asking Boudica to take them up to space above the planet for some alone time.
X-70B Phantom
In the Starship Phantom that now hangs over the planet in the captain quarters Trowa, Tamamo and Kiyohime are looking out the observatory window to the planet below. Trowa now dressed in his smuggler Shrewd Rascal outfit stares at the planet below. "Dantooine looks beautiful from here doesn't it?" questioned Trowa.
Tamamo and Kiyohime nod their heads. "Yes Master, I agree." Agreed Kiyohime.
Tamamo cozy up to Trowa hugging his left side with Kiyohime mirroring the same. "Though it is beautiful its beauty pales in comparison to you two." Continued Trowa as he runs his fingers through both girl's hair affectionately.
Both servants blush hard at this hugging even harder. "Oh Master…that's the most romantic thing you said to me!" gushed Tamamo.
Trowa continues. "You know ever since I got this new body, I've been feeling various amounts of emotions that I never felt before. I believe I told you before how hard it was for me to express any emotions and that I was sorry I couldn't appropriately return your affections."
Tamamo smiles warmly at him. "No need to apologize Master. I love you no matter your inability to express your love for me. As long as I'm at your side I'm happy."
Lemon Warning
Trowa then lifts Tamamo's chin inching her face close to his. "And that's the thing that ate at me inside for so long. I felt I was wronging you for not returning the love you gave me. You've been giving me so much since we met and I yet to give you a single thing back." Tamamo was about to deny not receiving anything but is interrupted with a kiss.
Tamamo was surprised at this action not quite believing it was her Master that initiated the kiss though she immediately returns it as she makes out with her Master. After several moments of making out, the two take a breather leaning their foreheads together. "That…was…amazing." Said Trowa as he grabs Tamamo's head as he makes out with her again this time more intimately as his hands wander her body.
Kiyohime who was watching the two was breathing hard arousal clear in her breath as she sits quietly knowing this was their moment. As the two continue making out the two-start feeling immensely hot needing to cool down they instinctively start undressing one another. Desire courses through Trowa as he tosses his shirt and jacket off he fully opens Tamamo's kimono revealing her bouncy tits. He then starts rakishly kissing her neck all the way down to her D-cup tits sucking on them.
This action causes Tamamo to moan immensely as Trowa alternates between both her breast. After spending several moments sucking on the fox maiden breast, he moves further down removing Tamamo's outfit completely leaving her in only her white panties and blue knee-high leggings. The redhead then starts kissing and licking Tamamo's neck slowly going down reaching her stomach sucking on her belly button for several moments. This action causes Tamamo to shake uncontrollably as her moans echo through the room.
Moving from the belly button Trowa finally reaches her pelvis as his hands wander her waist giving a gentle squeeze of her ass as one of his hands reaches her sweet spot rubbing her clit before plunging his fingers into her wanting pussy.
Tamamo is breathing hard with arousal as she moans uncontrollably due to her master's ministrations. Tamamo's growing need for something more in her nether regions grows uncontrollably as she hugs her Master hard. "Master! Please…I need you. I want you inside me please!"
Trowa who was on an adrenaline high smiles at this as he pulls off his pants revealing his growing erections. Both girls are surprised at the nearly 6-inch dick. Trowa who was about to seal the deal then takes note of Kiyohime who clothes were barely hanging on as she was drooling with arousal already masturbating furiously at their debauchery.
Trowa turns to Tamamo. "Tamamo…what about Kiyo?"
Tamamo blinks turning to her friends seeing the horny state she was in but evidently holding herself back as she stood in place respecting the both of them. "Kiyohime is my best friend…and I'm already promised myself to…share you Master. Just remember…your first is mine! Kiyo-chan, would you mind lubing up my Husband!"
Kiyohime was immediately at Trowa's side, kneeling her mouth going up and down his shaft. Trowa was surprised at how fast Kiyo was sucking his dick as his hands instinctively grabs her head leading her back down on his crotch. Tamamo gets immensely aroused at the action that not wanting to be outdone she joins pushing her breast up so Trowa's dick is resting on her tits as she starts sucking.
Kiyohime is surprised at his action as it knocked her off her Master's cock as Tamamo has taken over. Kiyohime in retaliation does the same pushing her breast up to her master's cock as both girls tit fuck him vying for dominance. This continues for several minutes before Trowa knocks both of them down on the bed.
"Okay girls time for the main event. Tamamo You're first." Tamamo smiles anxiously as she spreads her legs out spreading her entrance. Trowa wasted no time as he positions his dick at Tamamo's entrance slowly entering making sure not to hurt her. Once his dick reaches her womb Trowa pulls out much to the fox maiden disappointment then plunges back in repeatedly as he thrust back in as he fucks Tamamo silly. Tamamo in turn clamps her legs and arms around her master her nails digging into his skin refusing to let go.
Kiyohime who was lying in bed watching the act saddles up next to her master hugging his side as she kisses him while he fucks Tamamo at the same time. This continues for several minutes with Trowa unloading his load into Tamamo filling her pussy full of cum as she continues to cum herself with an expression full of ecstasy on her face.
Giving the Fox maiden a moment of rest Trowa has Kiyohime get on all fours as he goes from behind fucking her Doggystyle. The sound of bodies of flesh echo around the room as the redhead hammers Kiyohime into a drooling mess as her body's pussy sputters with love's juices as she cums uncontrollably.
As Kiyohime's orgasm starts to die down still leaking love juices as her face is transfixed in an ahegao Trowa tosses her on top of Tamamo lining both their bodies up as he slaps both of their asses causing both to moan erotically. With both their pussies on top another glistening Trowa rubs his dick over their clits further exciting the girls before plunging his dick into Kiyo's pussy before plunging it into Tamamo's as he alternates with incredible speed into both.
As the girls reach their high as their moans and screams of ecstasy reach their height all three cum at the same time before they all collapse on the bed together. As Trowa wipes beads of sweat from his forehead the girls lay next to him on either side of his chest. "Wow…that was exhilarating. Never thought it would feel this good…so alive. So…who want to go for round two?"
Both girls look up toward him smiling dreamingly as reach up kissing him as the three continue their love-making out throughout the night.
Lemon ends
Jedi Enclave
In the Jedi Council room, the Jedi Masters had finished lecturing Shay dismissing him sending off with Bastila and Xion to make sure he gets back to his room with no detours. Vrook the disgruntled Jedi Master sits in his chair obviously not in a good mood after lecturing Shay. "Can you believe that man? Even with his memories wiped he persists in giving me headaches."
"Perhaps you're being too hard on Shay Vrook." Suggested Zhar.
Vrook stares at Zhar like he was crazy. "Hard, obviously not hard enough. This whole retraining farce was supposed to make him an obedient servant to the force! Not produce the same rebellious man who defied us the first time!"
"Vrook perhaps you're taking this incident too far. All he did was help bring Juhani back from the Darkside. I say he performed admirability bringing her back as well as solving the Mandalorian raider problem." Chimed Dorak.
Vrook shakes his head in disagreement. "Of course, you're on his side Dorak. You were always soft on Revan. Now Dorak need I remind you by saving Juhani he completed the third trial before he even took the first and second! And don't think Revan saved her out of the goodness of his heart. Revan yet again breaks the rules and does whatever he wants showing us again his desire for glory and recognition. Just remember how Juhani acted when she referred to 'Shay' she was practically worshipping the very ground he walked on. She was acting like another one of Revan's zealot followers."
Vandar holds his hand out in peace. "Vrook, please. Remember we are not to refer to Shay with that name. He is Revan no more."
"Are you sure Master Vandar? In all my lessons with…Shay. I felt a sense of déjà vu as he acted similar to the way he was before. The only silver lining to his training this time around is that woman Arren Kae isn't here to poison his mind." Said Vrook as he cringes at the mention of her name.
"Perhaps we should move to another subject. About the new Dantooine Administration what are everyone's thoughts?" suggested Zhar wanting to steer the conversation away from Kae.
The dark-skinned Jedi Dorak speaks first. "I believe it's a good thing. The Settlers are finally coming together as they build their new community on Dantooine. They're actually making their own government with a defense force set up to deal with wild Kath Hounds and bandits. They're coming a long way."
"Yes, I agree. It's good to see the settlers find their own way to solve their problems instead of coming to us for help for every little thing." Chimed Zhar.
Vrook also puts his two cents in. "Not to say I'm not grateful with the fewer complaints from the settlers every day but I still don't like the fact that unsufferable woman sent her forces and occupied a settlement creating a local government without even consulting us on the matter!"
"Technically the Lion King had sent us a short message that they were requested to provide aid to the settlers. Which the settlers agreed on." Piped Vandar.
"Bah! Technicality! She still should have informed us directly! She acts like she owns the whole galaxy doing whatever she wants! She is as bad if not worse than Revan and Malak ever were! And don't get me started on that mysterious space station Genesis that can somehow terraform a planet in a few short years." complained Vrook.
Zhar shakes his head. "I think you're letting your distrust of the Lion King cloud your judgment Vrook. I know we're all still in the dark of the mystery behind the Lion King and her many… machines and tools marvels that helped in the last war. But lest you forget she is still the Hero of the Republic and unlike Revan and Malak she hadn't turned her back on the Republic instead choosing to stay neutral."
"Neutrality Zhar? Are you sure about that? Ever since the Mandalorian War ended the Lion King influence has only strengthened. One of these leading causes is that advanced space station Genesis that can terraform worlds breathing life into them in a few short years. She has been given numerous requests to help in Terraforming operations on many worlds. Not to mention the numerous interest groups willing to pay an astronomical fortune to study the Space Station itself. As it stands, she is just curing favors from various planets and organizations. Let us not forget it was only because the Republic cut a deal with the Lion King that we were able to make an accident occur where we drew the Sith fleet to run into a Cathar patrol ship which got the Spirit of Fire involved destroying their fleet forcing both Revan and Malak to escape where our forces were waiting for them." Retorted Vrook.
"Speaking of the Lion King I heard she along with the Spirit of Fire are on Coruscant and are in talks right now with Republic High Command. The news of this has gotten everyone on the planet in a craze speculating whether or not Cathar is joining the war." Said Dorak changing the subject.
"How is the High Council on Coruscant handling this? Can't they ask for more information concerning this matter?" Asked Zhar.
Dorak shakes his head. "Afraid not. Apparently, their attempt to contact the Chancellor has fallen on death ears as the Secretary has told them he was in an important meeting. Though there were reports of Republic troopers boarding the Spirit of Fire."
"Meeting you say. Hmm…most likely in talks with the Lion King he is." Suggested Vandar.
Vrook narrows his eyes at the news. "So, she is making her move then. Since the start of this war, she has been neutral staying out of the fighting. As the war further dragged on as our losses kept mounting many of the people who disagreed with her decision over the Mandalorians begin begging for her help. As it stands now if she officially joins the war effort or heavens forbid takes over as the head of the military effort the Republic citizens will see her as some kind of Messiah coming to save them."
"I believe it's best to end today's meeting. It has been quite an eventful day today and I'm certain the High Council will contact us updating us on the subject when they can. But we still have to prepare Shay for his other two trials." Suggested Vandar. The rest of the Council agree as the meeting is adjourned so they could prepare for tomorrow.
A/N: Hoped you enjoyed the story. It took me a while to finish this, longer than expected. As much as I like to continue this story I'll be returning back to my main fic to finish it first as well try to do some work on my Fate Rwby story as well on the side.
See yeah next time.
