I can't wait until I get to the other books they're going to be a lot more fun to read and write for me and hopefully you guys who read this.
Awaken
The first thing thought was how bad my head hurt. Bezor made sure I was knocked out, I must be in the The Republic Judiciary Central Detention Center, as I recalled the scenery around me as I've walked by millions of times seeing prisoners or looking for one to question.
But looking out of the cell I saw Brandon, my old padawan. Smiling, finally my plan is coming full circle.
Brandon was looking at me disappointingly, saddened that his old master has succumbed to the dark side. He spoke "Master, why, why kill those troops, why kill those Jedi you trained!" voice getting louder as he kept speaking.
I grunted, looking at Brandon "If you've ever let go Brandon, let go, forget the order, the code, you feel amazing, feel like you could conquer the galaxy. I killed them because it was necessary, necessary to speak to you, to show you-" I was interrupted as Brandon stepped as close as possible to the cell force field. "To kill life? To kill something so precious?" he said "Brandon don't you see, using this power, you can- you can find your brother, save him, show him the ways. You said it yourself to me that he wants to be the strongest, stronger than you! I know you! I know you would kill millions to make sure your brother is safe!" I shouted.
Brandon looked to his side, then looked down. His almost golden figure that everyone sees was no longer there, just a boy in Jedi robes looking down.
"What are you talking about" he said almost muttering it. "This power that I have achieved just from looking away from the light, I didn't want it Brandon, but when I saw certain things, it made me, it made me turn away just for a second. That second made me look at everything differently." I said
Brandon just stood there like a statue listening, he was always a great listener. "I'm sorry for what happened to Charles, but- but just to find out if he's still there, you need to listen to what I'm saying Brandon! Or at least you need me to help!" I shouted.
Brandon looked up quickly, faster than anything I've seen before. Anger in his eyes, no anger for me though I would feel it, but as soon as I thought that I felt something in the force almost like a breeze past.
The anger in his eyes was for the council. Hiding shoving that hate that they didn't act quicker with rescuing Charles or the rest, not even taking the time and sending Jedi to find them.
"What will happen if, if I released you Tray, would- would you betray me?" he said. "If you release me, you will become a rogue Jedi just like me Brandon, you'll be branded a traitor and a sith like me, and you'll become stronger, like me. If you release me, you and I will become rogue Jedi's together. Hunted for the rest of our lives unless, unless we make something of ourselves, make this galaxy better." I said, "Maybe, maybe rebuild the order better, no more of these strict codes limiting our powers." I was ranting now making Brandon hear me, hear all of this.
"We can save your brother, make him stronger, make him one of us-" "No, he will not be hunted like us, we will save him, first thing we save him, then he will do what he thinks is best, I don't know what is best for him as I don't know what's best for me, but I do know right now what I have to do." with that Charles entered codes and the field was fading as he used to the force to destroy my energy cuffs.
Feeling my wrists, and arms I stood up patting Brandon on the shoulder as he looked at the wall, wondering what he was about to do. Lifting both his hands up, force pushed the entire detention center walls, activating every sensor, every alarm.
Brandon looked back at me with it seemed with clarity, "Let's go" he said and jumped down. I followed suit not looking back at what I've just accomplished. Smiling as I was plummeting down with Brandon.
"Are you sure these are the coordinates to land Cort?" said Frool and he was piloting the ship towards a nearby Hutt controlled hangers. "If they aren't then it's a good thing you're piloting this thing right frooly?" said Cort as he was spinning his blaster.
"Great, thanks for your high opinion of me" said Frool. I huffed as I looked past my rambling crew members and saw what it looked like more than just a bunch of hangars, more like hideout. Captain Stanford also seemed to agree with my thoughts as she spoke "Looks like our guy left out a bit of information about what we're blowing up. No matter, Leix get ready to fight, Cort, same thing. Frool make sure the guns are working on my baby just in case we need'em if the grenades don't work." commanded Stanford.
Captain Stanford was a strong woman, bold and arrogant, but in a good way. She is one of the best gunslingers I've ever had the experience to meet. Coming from me a Kaleesh you should understand how good she is. Opposite of her strong personality, her appearance was in the way of a fair princess, her hair shoulder length with the color sometimes grey or sandy blonde. Medium height for a human female, and personally she was very attractive physically.
But enough of that it's time for killing, in honor of my fallen Kaleesh! "Alright let's go Leix, cmon Captain it's time to blow this joint.
As we walked out we were met with two gamorrean guards, "State your business with the hutts." said one.
"Yeah we uh, we're here to deliver some furniture for um the slug man." said Captain. I could almost see the tension after that, looking to my right seeing Cort with a smirk on his face.
Both the guards looked at each other almost like if they really should let us in. "Oh screw this" said Captain and before they could register what she said they both had blaster shots in their chest dropping them, which resulted in turning a few heads as I heard a scream of one of the guards to the other ones. Blasters shots reigning all over us, our ship flying nearby for support but not wanting to be shot at.
Quickly thinking I picked up one of the guards using as a meatshield, Captain behind me and Cort taking the other one. "Nice one Captain, you're very patient aren't you?" said Cort. "Shut up Cort, we're fine, we just need to get inside and start blasting and blowing up things. "You must love doing it the hard way sweety." said Cort,
There must have been some sort of joke in that sentence but we're under fire right now.
"My ship is near the main entrance. We need to get there quickly, and quietly." whispered Brandon. As we were behind some dumpsters, troops nearby looking around for me. "And how are we going to go quietly my friend?" I said sharply. Brandon turned to look at me, "We will not, and I mean it kill anyone, got it?" he said threateningly. If I could without being caught put my hands up I would "Understand completely." I said.
Brandon looked up for a second to see if there were any openings, after a bit he crouched back down, "Alright as soon as I go follow right behind me, I see a venting system big enough for us." said Brandon. I nodded.
Brandon looked up for a second double checking everything is clear and went, soon after I followed his lead, finding a ventilation shaft above us hopefully leading straight to the ship. Brandon quietly lifted up the vent with the force and jumped up hands catching vent, lifting himself up easily.
I quickly followed as I heard footsteps close by. Crawling following Brandon, "Have you seen anything yet corporal?" I heard a voice from under me.
"No sir" said another. "Hmm, say how do you think the traitor got out of his cell, it just doesn't make sense." said one.
"I heard he is one of the most powerful Jedi." "Was one now trooper, but it doesn't matter no one has ever escaped by himself, this is the best of the best prisons in the galaxy, he had help no doubt." said another.
For a moment Brandon stopped turning his head not towards me but to the voices, his eyes down, but kept moving until you couldn't hear the voices anymore.
"Stop, we're right under the hangar" I said. I grabbed my lightsaber and ignited it, making a hole in the vent, grabbing the part sliced off to make no noise, shifted it over.
"Alright I'm jumping down, get ready to run to the ship." I said, before Tray could respond I jumped down landing gently. Seeing nothing I ran towards my ship, "Brandon! Have you heard-" I heard as looked to my right seeing Alli Orono the council member.
Tray wasn't behind me right? I mean I did say to follow me, maybe he sensed her. Please don't tell me "Ah councilwoman Alli how is my favorite? I mean it was Bezor until you know" Tray said pointing towards his bruised left cheek.
Alli looked at Tray and looked back at me confused. "Brandon, did- did you release him?" she said calmly.
It may have been minutes until I answered that question I couldn't be sure, what would I say. Yes I betrayed the Jedi order that trained me my whole life. Yes I am helping a killer, but all that came out was "I did"
Alli signed "Bezor was right, he always is. He knew you were too emotional for your own good, I would say to drop your weapons but I know you Brandon, your gentle soul doing this for a good reason, and that's why I know you won't back down." she grabbed her saber, "Remember that this saddens me to do this.
My body felt cold, and empty as she jumped force pushing me and igniting her blade mid air, slicing at Tray as he rolled out of the way. "You were always the bitchy one!" roared Tray, seemingly amused with this outcome.
She force pushed me off my feet into a bunch of barrels, hitting my head. Slowly getting up as I witnessed Alli slicing and slashing with her saber. Tray dodging, needed my help, without his lightsaber he couldn't best her, she was still a council member.
"Please Alli, let us past!" I yelled. Alli reacting by jumping back onto a ship. "You know I cannot let that happen, if I let you past lives will be at risk, I am sorry Brandon." she said.
Tray running over towards me "Brandon if you won't use your lightsaber, I hope you don't mind if I could borrow it for a second." he said waiting for my response keeping his eyes on Alli.
"No Tray I will not let you hurt her, there is no need for this Alli, let us pass please!" I countered.
"Give up Tray and you can go Brandon." she said. I looked down and then looked right at her "I need him!" I yelled. Alli looking at Tray "Need him to teach you how to achieve more power? Or maybe how to destroy the order who didn't help you find your brother?" she said
Anger pushed throughout my body, "He can, he can find my brother, something the order didn't even try!" I yelled. Shame flashed Alli's face, "The order tried, that's all we could of done, it is.. unfortunate." Alli spits out.
Tray laughing, "Unfortunate, unfortunate?" mockingly, "All you can say is that, Brandon lost his brother, a brother your order kicks the dirt on, you say your order is righteous, where is the righteousness when Charles is getting picked on by others, where's the righteousness of finding another member of your afamed order? You say these lies all the time and, you know I'm sick of it, it's time to show everyone what your order is!" ranted Tray
"The families of the troops you slaughtered would love to listen to you." Alli said. All of us standing looking at one another, until Alli takes out a holo to contact the others, before she could, I ripped it out of her hand with the force bringing it towards me, before crushing I could see the outline of Bezor Seafire.
Alli taking no time rushing force pushing objects pieces of ship parts she ripped out throwing it at us, igniting my saber I sliced them one by one, Tray dodging each one, running looking for an opening towards Alli, Alli was specialized in her defense, a master at force barrier, making her basically impenetrable, finally we crossed blades, using my superior strength almost stopping her she jumped back onto a ship, force pushing me, then Tray who was close to her.
This time I was ready only sliding back just a bit, using force pull to bring her, Tray see this and does as well, getting her unbalanced, before she could be brought here, quickly thinking she sliced underneath her slicing the ship parts bringing them to us before her, hitting Tray in the face knocking him out I presume, almost impaling me in the side, the pain making me drop my saber.
Before I knew it, I was on the ground clutching at my side. Alli over me, blade in my face. "I have beaten you, surrender Brandon and you will be forgiven.
"No, I- I need to go to my brother." I spouted out. Alli looking down, "The only way you can stop me is to kill me right now!" I yelled. Knowing Jedi don't take lives she retreated her lightsaber.
As she did that, Tray sliced her in half with my own lightsaber, watching her eyes filled with terror as she fell to the ground.
Looking up at Tray who had a frown as he was gesturing to grab my hand to pick me up.
