Chapter 1: Severed Bond
Nine Months Have Passed...
Balmorra Airspace:
The Eternal Alliance Receives a distress call and have arrived at Balmorra. The Balmorrian Resistance were fighting off Republic Troops. Their fleet bombed factories and their ground troops invading. The Gravestone manned by Koth and his crew destroyed Republic Starships and Freighters.
Gravestone: Bridge
Koth onboard were as active as ever: "Woohoo! Oh yeah! That's another enemy down!"
Tora answered: "Quite the confidence you've gotten Koth, but remember there are people aboard those ships not droids."
Koth became silent like the rest of the crew, but decided to add: "Right... sorry bad habit."
Koth put on a serious face and continued attacking the Republic Fleet.
Balmorra: Battlefield
The Outlander entered the battlefield on the ground, facing the old allies he once fought side by side with. As blaster fire flew toward him, he closed his eyes momentarily.
Breathe in and out and he ordered: "Defend the Balmorrians! We won't let the Republic destroy their homes."
Lana and Theron stood by his side, together with the rest of their allies. The Outlander draw and ignited his lightsaber. But as he took a step forward time stopped. Instead of Valkorion appearing inside his head, Vaylin had occupied that role.
Vaylin spoke: "This is quite fascinating. This is what father saw as he accompanied you across the Galaxy?"
The Outlander Replied: "What do you want Vaylin?"
Vaylin gave a smirk and asked: "Helping the Balmorrians huh? It is a waste of time. Just focus on killing your enemies. It's more fun and thrilling to see the corpses of your enemies, before your feet."
The Outlander sighed: "You don't intend to change do you?"
Vaylin remarked: "How long are you gonna ask me that question? Why should I? You still ended my life, maybe I should use my new influence and cut your life short?"
The Outlander remained calm and answered: "Like it or not Vaylin we share the same fate. You might be stronger than Valkorion, but you lack technique, unless you can transfer between bodies, then my death will mean your death as well."
Vaylin scoffed: "I know that. Can't even take a little scare huh?"
Time moved again and The Outlander cut down Republic Soldiers one by one, as he moved forward with Theron and Lana doing the same.
Reports were coming in from across Balmorra. Lana and Theron both received messages.
Theron quickly reported his: "Commander! Balmorrian Soldiers are currently engaged against Republic Battle Droids and Troops in a nearby Factory Complex. They are requesting assistance, they won't last long on their own."
Lana also reported her messages: "Commander, we have manage to seize a powerful Walker, but our forces are thinned, we need to send them reinforcements immediately."
The Outlander has decided: Protect The Soldiers/Abandon The Soldiers
The Outlander decided: "We will rescue the Balmorrians."
Lana protested: "Commander!"
The Outlander smiled and answered her calmly: "Don't worry Lana, this is why it is good to have allies and show mercy."
The Outlander contacted allies via Holo: "Senya and Arcann. Head to the coordinates provided by Lana and protect the walker until we arrive."
Senya answered: "Understood Commander."
Arcann followed up: "We are on it. Take care of yourselves."
The Outlander closed the holo and looked at Lana, who smiled satisfied: "You always find a way to impress and surprise me Commander. Let's rescue those soldiers!"
The three headed toward the factory. Time stopped momentarily.
Vaylin appeared again and remarked: "You managed to solve that situation quite well."
The Outlander answered with his voice staggering: "I should have believed in Senya and Arcann more. If I had done that maybe I would have been able to save... Torian."
Vaylin were silent for a moment and then began: "I should be the one complaining. You killed me!"
The Outlander retorted back: "If you hadn't killed Torian, I would have captured you alive!"
The conversation ended with Vaylin giving the Outlander a sinister glare, as time began moving again.
Balmorra Weapon Factory
Upon arriving The Outlander, Lana and Theron engaged the Troopers, Battle Droids and destroyed them quickly.
The Outlander spoke briefly with The Balmorrians: "Are you okay? Do you need any medical attention?"
The unit Leader Captain Stalik answered: "No sir, we can manage. Thank you for coming. We will return to the field and support the rest of Resistance."
The Group of surviving soldiers quickly left. The Outlander heard the sound of an ignited lightsaber and as he turned around. He were met with what he had hoped, he wouldn't face.
Time stopped shortly as Vaylin appeared again with a comment: "Well well. This is going to be interesting."
Vaylin disappeared right after.
Balmorra: Walker Location
At the Walker's location, Senya and Arcann together with the The Alliance Soldiers, manage to defeat all Republic Troops and Droids, who attempted to seize the Walker.
Senya looked at Arcann and gave a heartwarming smile and said: "I am proud of you my son. You have really become strong."
Arcann smiled in return and said: "I am grateful for everything. I... still regret it, what happened with Thexan, and everything else... I wish I could turn back time. Stop it from happening."
Arcann lowered his head and his voice wavered.
Senya placed a hand on her son's shoulder and said: "I also regret leaving you. I should have stayed. It might not have changed much, but I would have been able to take away some of the pain."
As Senya and Arcann stared at each other, ignition of multiple lightsabers were heard. A group of Jedi approached.
Arcann hesitated and asked: "What shall we do mother? I don't feel right about this."
Senya were also troubled, because they both knew The Outlander's connection to the Jedi.
She closed her eyes momentarily and said: "Let us try avoid killing them if possible. At least if it comes down to it, we can tell the Outlander that we tried.
Arcann nodded and said: "I understand."
Arcann and Senya both waited a bit before drawing their lightsabers, attempting to negotiate with the Jedi.
Balmorra Weapon Factory
Back at the Complex, the Outlander stared with a bit of a sad expression and asked: "Why? Why are you supporting the Republic in this foolish campaign? So many lives will be lost and for what?"
The Jedi stared at him and said: "The Eternal Throne is too powerful, whether you are a former member of our order or not is irrelevant. You have sided with even the former terror of our people, Arcann. We can't let you walk away from this."
The Outlander asked: "Did master Satele order this invasion?"
The Jedi answered: "She has other priorities. Like replacing that useless fool Jebevel Madon."
Time stopped.
Vaylin appeared and spoke: "A Jedi huh? And someone eager to kill you. An interesting development. What are you gonna do Outlander?"
The Outlander spoke: "I won't simply give in to bloodshed. I want to try to solve this peacefully."
Vaylin spoke mockingly: "How naive! I can see it in his eyes and so can you. His eyes screams that of a predator and you his prey. Good luck with your sentimentality. Hahahah!"
Vaylin laughed as she disappeared and time moved again.
The Outlander stood at a crossroad and it was time to make an important decision: Attempt to make the Jedi leave peacefully(Light)/Ask him if he knew who he was facing(Neutral)/Provoke him and attack(Dark)
The Outlander spoke: "I don't know you personally, but I never wished for things to be this way. Please leave."
The Jedi said: "I appreciate the attempt, but my mind has been made. I will end you here and now."
The Outlander breathe in and out, drew and ignited his lightsaber and asked: "Can you tell me your name and rank before we begin?"
The Jedi answered: "My name is Erman Reilo and I am a Jedi Knight."
The Outlander stared at both Theron and Lana and said: "You two stand back. I need to do this alone. This is a path I must cross myself."
Theron and Lana saw how serious The Outlander looked, they both took a step back and said: "Understood."
The Outlander and Erman engaged in lightsaber duel which ended with Erman slain, and The Outlander's attack being sensed by all Jedi across The Galaxy.
Coruscant: Scene
The Outlander's decision were sensed, by all The Jedi across The Galaxy. Former Grand Master Satele Shan who stayed in Coruscant, were among them.
She closed her eyes and murmured: "So this is the path you have taken Outlander?"
Satele had a sad expression on her face, as she murmured another name: "Theron..."
Balmorra Weapon Factory
The Outlander sheathe his lightsaber and stared back at Theron and said: "I am sorry. I know you were also connected to The Jedi, Theron."
Theron smiled a sad smile, but greatly appreciated The Outlander's consideration.
He answered: "I already knew it would come down to this, the moment The Republic declared war. I wish it was different, but I can't afford to be selfish now. We have something bigger than ourselves to fight for."
Lana put a hand on Theron's shoulder and said: "You've worked harder than most for The Alliance, no one will ever forget that and we all appreciate it."
Theron stared at Lana and smiled a little.
The Outlander proclaim: "For the Eternal Alliance... things like this will be unavoidable..."
Both Lana and Theron nodded while staring at the dead Jedi.
Time stopped again and Vaylin appeared and commented: "Boo-hoo you killed a Jedi, like his death even meant anything. You have taken down countless Force Users before."
The Outlander quickly retorted a bit annoyed: "I guess you wouldn't understand Vaylin, as I heard, Senya told me about how little lives means to you."
Vaylin answered back: "My mother always is against me. I am getting used to it by now. You on the other hand..."
Vaylin lifted her right hand and the Outlander suddenly became dizzy, she quickly stopped.
The Outlander asked: "What did you do?"
Vaylin gave a quick answer: "You still need to live, but anger me and you shall suffer."
Time went again. Lana quickly changed her demeanor and said: "Come on! We still have work to do, our friends and allies needs us."
Both The Outlander and Theron answered: "Right" and the three headed over to Senya and Arcann's location.
Balmorra: Walker Location
The Outlander, Theron and Lana rendezvous with Senya and Arcann. They were met with the sight of multiple Jedi Knights, lying lifeless on the ground. Theron and the Outlander were surprised and shocked for a moment.
Theron took the liberty of asking: "This might be unfounded, but isn't this kinda overkill?"
The Outlander studied the corpses for a moment.
Arcann answered: "I am sorry. We tried to persuade them, but it did not work. Especially when the words came from me."
Theron sighed: "Right I can understand them, considering the campaign you and your brother went on."
Arcann lowered his head.
The Outlander finally rise up and said: "Considering the Jedi's current state of mind, negotiation might be futile as we saw from the man I just fought."
Time stopped and Vaylin appeared again. The Outlander began gathering the Lightsabers of the dead Jedi.
Vaylin scoffed and said: "Look at my mother and brother getting oh so sentimental, makes me puke!"
The Outlander gave a little sad smile: You still miss them don't you?"
Vaylin answered back annoyed "Why would I?! They betrayed me! I don't need them. Once I grasp father's secrets I will leave this body and return in a new form."
The Outlander asked pretty nonchalant: "What good would that do? You should just sit back and enjoy speaking to someone."
Vaylin answered: "You can try to redeem me or whatever you want, but it won't work. I will bid my time and corrupt you as father did before me, later."
Vaylin left. Arcann stared at the Outlander, but remained quiet seemingly sensing Vaylin's presence.
Lana decided to break the ice and ask: "So what is the status of our allies and forces?"
Senya reacted and informed the trio: "We receive word that Bin Prime and Sobrik are being bombarded by Bomb carriers."
Arcann continued: "There are also reports floating in of high civilian casualties from some of our inside agents."
The Outlander stared at the walker with a serious expression and ordered. "Theron join me in the Walker. We are gonna blow up some bomb carriers."
Theron were a bit excited and answered: "Understood, Commander."
The Outlander continued: "Lana, Senya and Arcann contact the rest of our ground troops, and support the ones low on fighting power."
Lana replied: "Right on it Commander."
Senya replied: "Be careful out there."
Arcann replied: "Good luck Commander."
They all headed off.
The Outlander moved the Walker first to Sobrik.
Balmorra: Sobrik
Upon arriving they began shooting down the bomb carriers and trampling down enemy troops.
Theron were thrilled and commented: "Looks like we have managed quite well huh, Commander?"
The Outlander sighed said: "Don't say anymore Theron. You'll just jinx us."
Theron were casual as always and replied: "What is the worse that could happen when we have this?"
As Theron's words resounded, The Republic dropped five of the same model Walkers in front of them.
Theron then said: "Me and my big mouth."
The Outlander gave a serious look and engaged the Walkers in combat, managing to destroy two using the high precision laser beams, before taken heavy damage destroying two others. The damage were irreparable.
The Outlander yelled: "Theron! Abandon Walker!"
Theron followed: "Don't have to tell me! Right behind you Commander."
The two jumped out as the Walker exploded. The Outlander and Theron stared down the giant Walker. Zakuul Knights suddenly appeared next to them, the Outlander and Theron had their guards up, as the Outlander answered a Holo. He did not sense any hostility from the Zakuul Knights.
It was from Senya: "Commander I have great news. Some Zakuul Knights decided to support the Eternal Alliance. Your speech have inspired them."
The Outlander looked at them and they saluted.
Theron quickly interrupted the communication: "It is a bad time Senya! Walker just facing us down! Everyone evade!"
They all evaded by jumping to different sides, avoiding the Walker's fire. The Outlander thanked Senya for the info and turned off the Holo.
He stared at the knights and asked: "How many of you know of the lightsaber throw technique?"
All the knights quickly raised their hands.
The Outlander stood ready and said: "On my mark, be ready."
The Walker fired another round which they all evaded.
The Outlander yelled: "Alright now!"
The Outlander and the knights were in synch and threw all their lightsabers simultaneously at the Walker, destroying it and grabbed their returning lightsabers back with their hands.
The Outlander smiled and said: "Alright everyone on to The Capital!"
The knights all answered: "Yes sir!" They all headed for Bin Prime.
Balmorra: Bin Prime
Arriving at Bin Prime, the Outlander and group witnessed to their horror, the continuing bombardment from Republic Bomb Carriers.
The Outlander clutched his right hand and said: "We will stop this barbaric act from the Republic. Theron help evacuate the wounded and be careful of bombs and troops."
Theron answered: "Understood Commander."
He ran into the city.
The Outlander looked at the Knights and said: "Knights! Like the Walker, those carriers will fall. Follow my lead!"
All the Knights rejoiced and follow the Outlander. They moved into the city. First up on nearby rooftops where they could see the Carriers on it's way out.
The Outlander waited together with the knights for the exact moment and then: "Now let those lightsabers fly!"
All the knights let their lightsabers fly, cutting through the bomb carriers' command bridge, while the carrier would float, as it was on it's way out of the city, but as some knights could retrieve their sabers, others lost them.
One of the knights spoke: "Commander we lost our weapons, what shall we do?"
The Outlander had earlier gathered lightsabers, and handed some to the Knights.
He then said: "There are still more carriers. Plan B. Begin gather any heavy artillery you find. We will use that to take down the remaining ones."
Luckily the Outlander and the Knights manage to find plenty things. Like rocket launchers and explosives as planned. The Outlander and the group travelled across Bin Prime, taking down one carrier after another, using the rocket launcher or the force, levitating bombs and throw them at the carriers, blowing it up in mid-air.
The Outlander praised the Knights, but before more could be said time stopped again.
Vaylin appeared and remarked: "Now you get cuddly and fuzzy with your former enemies? How sweet!"
The Outlander answered calmly: "Sarcasm huh? Charming."
Vaylin then said: "You are way too trusting regarding others. Why?"
The Outlander calmly answered: "It is a crazy universe, as things like that can change. If you hadn't treated them like fodder, then maybe some of them, would have fought harder in order to destroy the alliance rather than siding with it."
Vaylin were unusually calm, seemingly reminiscing and said: "There was once a Knight who I failed to kill... I don't know why but I felt something... different about him."
The Outlander studied her behavior and then remarked: "First love perhaps?"
Vaylin quickly retorted back: "Shut up! Like that will ever happen. Anyway I sense a lot of Force energy, from where mother and brother is. You may want to hurry, I wouldn't like to miss those moments of agony in their eyes, as they get overwhelmed and fall to their deaths!"
Vaylin disappeared again and time moved.
The Outlander received a holo from Lana: "Commander! We are being overwhelmed! There are over one hundred Jedi! Senya and Arcann and our troops won't last much longer."
The Outlander answered: "Don't worry Lana, I am on my way."
Lana said: "Much appreciated."
The Outlander closed the holo.
The Outlander used comm and contacted Theron.
He said: "I will meet up with Lana. When you are finished rendezvous with us."
Theron answered: "Copy that Commander."
The Outlander closed the comm.
He rushed toward their location, accompanied by the Zakuul Knights.
Balmorra: Near BugTown
The Outlander arrived and Force Jump together with the Zakuul Knights into the fray, cutting down two Jedi upon landing, and Force Pushed back ten others, who were about to overwhelm Senya and Lana. The Zakuul Knights manage to cut down a few, and Arcann also returned shortly.
The Outlander looked at his allies and asked: "Is everyone okay?"
Arcann answered for everyone: "We will manage Commander. Thank you for coming."
Lana walked forward standing by the Outlander's side, as he stared down The Jedi knights, who were large in numbers.
Lana asked: "What shall we do Commander?"
Among the Jedi on the battlefield were a familiar face, Warren Sedoru. The Outlander signal Lana to stay alert, but not engage yet, as he stepped forward. The Jedi Knights ready themselves, when they were ordered to wait. Warren also stepped forward. The two stared each other down.
The Outlander began to speak: "It has been a long time my friend. It seems a lot have changed, can you tell me. What happened to the order after my disappearance?"
Warren smiled a little and answered seriously: "It was terrible. So many Jedi fell. We weren't prepared and only few manage survive. But I have heard quite a lot about you, going by the moniker Outlander now huh? Former Jedi Battlemaster?"
The Outlander smiled a bit embarrassed and answered: "Hehe, yeah. A suitable nickname Zakuul put on me. Do you know what happened to my comrades? Kira, Scourge or Doc?"
Warren shake his head and answered: "No unfortunately not. I heard rumors of their disbanding and each pursue their own goal."
The Outlander lowered his head and said: "I see."
Warren stared the Outlander in the eyes and said: "It is unfortunate, but I must do what is necessary for the Republic and the Order."
Warren ignited his lightsaber and prepared for battle. The Jedi followed.
The Outlander commented: "Master Satele didn't sanction this. Who are behind this invasion plan?"
Warren replied: "We all must do what is necessary. I am sorry. But this is how it turned out."
The Outlander again has to make a choice: Ask Warren one last time(Light)/Ignite his lightsaber and ready to engage(Neutral)/Ignite his lightsaber and attack first(Dark)
The Outlander stared at Warren one last time he asked: "Won't you reconsider? I don't want to end your life."
Warren answered: "I have been redeemed to the light, and tasted the darkness. I am more powerful than before. I will put you out of your misery quickly, Outlander."
The Outlander draw and ignited his lightsaber.
The Outlander yelled: "Eternal Alliance, charge!"
Everyone rushed forward and engaged in lightsaber combat. The Outlander began cutting down Jedi one after another, while blocking or evading attacks. The Outlander engaged Warren Sedoru in combat. The two lightsabers clashed together. Warren were in the end, felled by the Outlander's hand, and the Outlander gathering a large amount of force energy, and unleashed it on the battlefield, knocking the Jedi enemies off their feet. Allowing Senya, Arcann and Lana to acquire some more kills. Unfortunately there were too many. The Jedi charged the now exhausted group, but blaster fire came from opposite direction. Theron, Vette, Aric and Kaliyo arrived, accompanied by more Zakuul rebels, knights and Alliance troops. They managed to push back and defeat the Jedi enemies.
The Outlander smiled and said: "Am I glad to see you guys."
Theron answered: "Sorry for the wait. We had to clean up the other mess around the world."
Lana remarked: "Sounds promising. So what is status?"
Aric answered: "Majority of Republic Troops have been defeated."
Kaliyo remarked: "We have the advantage. Most of them are on the run."
Vette said: "We manage to overhear some fleeing soldiers, say something about a main base, and a Jedi Commander. Taking out the Commander will probably be enough to force them to leave the world."
The Outlander searched Warren's body, as the rest of the Jedi were shot down, by the Eternal Alliance troops.
The Outlander found a holorecording and played it in front of everyone: "This is Jedi Commander Vinel Harris. A message to all remaining Jedi to return to the base, our feint worked. Most of the Eternal Alliance forces have been gathered. I know it is a desperate move, but I fear we don't have any option, other than cleansing Balmorra's surface. So we will use our new Super Weapon The Terra Generator, to create a massive earth quake destroying them all. Jedi Commander Vinel Harris out."
The Outlander and the others were horrified by the Republic's plan.
Theron commented annoyed: "This is low, even for them."
Lana commented surprised: "I didn't expect them doing this, but we have the coordinates to their base."
The earth began shaking and tremors were felt across Balmorra.
Senya said worried: "They have already begun."
Arcann said calmly: "We should hurry. We don't seem to have much time."
A shuttle approached and landed close by.
The Outlander said while focused: "Right. Let's split up in two groups. Theron and Lana take half our forces. Locate any survivors and evacuate them. Senya, Arcann and the rest with me. Let's go!"
Many: "Yes sir!"
But before he could take a step, time stopped and Vaylin appeared.
Vaylin had a playful and yet sinister expression on her face. "Tick tock, tick tock. The clock will soon strike and Balmorra will be destroyed."
The Outlander answered without hesitation: "I won't let that happen. I will protect Balmorra."
Vaylin scoffed and said: "Just remember. If you take too long, I will take control and make you leave by force."
The Outlander answered calmly: "You don't have to worry. I don't intend to die."
Vaylin remarked: "I will remember that."
Vaylin disappeared and The two groups split up. Lana and Theron's group boarded the shuttle, while The Outlander and the others, moved on foot to The Republic's main base.
Balmorra: Jedi/Republic Main Base Entrance
Upon a arriving, soldiers, Jedi and droids were waiting outside. The group engaged in combat and The Outlander, accompanied mainly by Arcann and Senya manage to clear the entrance. They moved inside and continue pushing forward, quickly decimating enemies on their path.
Balmorra: Jedi/Republic Base Open Area
They manage to reach a open area with a few of their Alliance troops still alive. What met them was Vinel Harris herself who stood right out in the open. As the Outlander and company stepped closer, an ambush awaited for them. Jedi jumping out of the shadows cutting down their remaining troops leaving only the Outlander, Senya and Arcann with four Jedi and Vinel Harris.
Outlander stared unimpressed at Vinel and said: "This is low for a Jedi. An ambush using yourself as bait."
Vinel quickly retorted by saying: "Please, there is never anything fair in war. Besides you were superior in numbers, I could not take chances."
The tremors continued getting stronger as time went.
The Outlander still had the same expression as he said: "This won't change anything. This is your last chance. Surrender."
Vinel drew her Lightsaber and proclaim: "Never. For The Republic! The Eternal Alliance will fall!"
The Outlander and Vinel engaged in lightsaber duel, while Senya and Arcann fought against the enemy Jedi. Vinel displayed impressive ability using the force, mainly using Force Push and Force bursts. The Outlander defended and evaded as their lightsabers continued to clash. The Outlander used an aggressive style hammering his lightsaber at Vinel's depleting her stamina. He jumped back and with his left hand used Force Push, which end up clashing with Vinel's own force push. The two attack clashed, they began moving closer and closer. Arcann and Senya manage to cut down one of their Jedi opponents each. Arcann manage to lock down the other Jedi, while the one who clashed with Senya Force Pushed her back. The Jedi used Force Speed and ran toward the Outlander, as he stood with his back turned, focusing on Vinel and her Force Push. Vinel and The Outlander both threw their lightsaber at each other. Both their lightsabers clashed and flew to the left and right side. They both continued their Force Push, using both their hands. Vinel began to feel her exhaustion from depleted stamina. She slowly went down on one knee. The Outlander having sensed the other Jedi aiming for him, rotated to the right and grabbed the Jedi, using the Force while he were in the air two meters away. The Jedi used his last remaining strength, and threw the lightsaber toward the Outlander, who closed his eyes sensing it's energy. He opened his eyes and with extreme concentration. He jumped and kicked the lightsaber at it's hilt, as it flew vertically toward him. Sending it back and into the Jedi's chest killing him instantly. Vinel sensing her chance utilized all her remaining energy forcing the Outlander back bit. the Outlander used the force, threw the dead Jedi up in the air horizontally, so he would land on top of Vinel, which would distract her enough, so the Outlander turn the tide, It worked and the Outlander overwhelmed Vinel, sending her flying into a wall and down. Arcann and Senya manage to dispatch the last Jedi. The three approached the injured and exhausted Vinel who attempted to stand.
Vinel stared at the Outlander exhausted and said: "You were right. I did not stand a chance, so what now?"
Time stopped as Vaylin appeared and urged: "Look at her, broken and beaten! Do it! End her miserable existence!"
The Outlander stared at the injured Jedi and decided to: Take her as prisoner(Light)/Kill her violently(Dark)
The Outlander answered: "I won't be tempted Vaylin. There are always more options."
Vaylin scoffed and said: "Remember how many of your allies she has slaughtered, as you see her in interrogation."
Vaylin disappeared again and time returned.
Arcann and Senya approached the Outlander and Senya asked: "What shall we do with her?"
The Outlander answered: "She is still an useful information source. So on that note..."
The Outlander clenched his right hand and punched Vinel in her face knocking her out. He used the Force and gathered his lightsaber. Arcann and Senya understood the message and Arcann grabbed Vinel's unconscious body and carried her on his shoulder. The tremors began to make the base fall apart.
Arcann inquired: "We have to hurry and stop that weapon."
The three went deeper into the base. They reached the Super Weapon's location.
Balmorra: Super Weapon Location
A giant crevice stood between them and the Terra Generator terminal.
Senya stared at the distance and said: "It is too long for a Force Jump."
Arcann also looked at his lightsaber and said: "I am unable to throw my lightsaber that far and retrieve."
The Outlander thought for a moment and then said: "We need to work together. I will use Force Jump and you use Force Push."
Arcann and Senya looked a bit worried and Arcann asked: "Are you sure? What about letting me do it?"
The Outlander answered: "Don't worry. I've still got strength enough. We don't have much else. I can imagine the two of you are also close to your limit."
Senya and Arcann looked at each other and then at the Outlander.
Senya said: "We will use all our power to support you."
The Outlander took a step back and ready himself for the jump. Time stopped and Vaylin appeared.
Vaylin smiled sinisterly and asked: "Are you really sure? My mother and brother might support you in the war effort, but remember what they have done. Are you really willing to place your life completely at their mercy?"
The Outlander answered: "I believe in them. Even if Arcann were a great cause of pain for me in the past, things have changed now."
Vaylin remarked: "Yeah... right. Keep telling yourself that."
Vaylin disappeared and the Outlander gathered his energy and jumped using the Force. Senya and Arcann used Force Push, sending the Outlander over to the terminal computer. He quickly utilized every technical skill he had learned from Kira. He manage to shut down the terminal. He used the Force and pushed the weapon down the crevice, destroying it for good. He gathered his strength and made the jump back. Arcann and Senya used Force Pull. They were close, but Arcann and Senya were both exhausted and the pull were generally harder than push. Arcann and Senya both fell to their knees.
The Outlander could hear Vaylin laugh inside his head. She then asked: "What are you gonna do Outlander?"
The voice grew silent. The Outlander felt he needed to said something.
The Outlander decided to: Encourage Senya and Arcann(Light)/Remain silent and wait(Neutral)/Threaten Senya and Arcann(Dark)
The Outlander had decided and said: "I believe in the two of you. Do what you believe is right. If I am too much a burden, let go. Don't overexert your strength."
Arcann and Senya were surrounded by a golden aura both. They acquired immense strength from the Outlander's kind words, which they used to pull him up.
The Outlander put a hand on each of their shoulders and said: "Thank you. Catch your breath for a moment and then let's go."
Arcann were exhausted, but remarked: "Much appreciate, Commander."
Senya nodded and a tired smile were formed across her face. Arcann and Senya took a short break and regained their strength. The three including the unconscious Vinel, ran out of the ruined base, toward the exit and reaching a shuttle waiting outside.
Balmorra: Jedi/Republic Main Base Entrance
The four boarded the shuttle.
Alliance Shuttle: Interior
Aboard Senya and Arcann thanked the Outlander for placing faith in them. The Outlander simply smiled looking outside, relieved over Balmorra still stands, but sadden by the destruction and death of the war.
Theron smiled and suddenly asked nonchalantly: "So... Commander, just hypothetically. If you one day wanted to start your own family, what would you want? A boy? Or a girl?"
The question came completely out of nowhere, took everyone by surprise. Arcann and Senya were simply surprised, although not in a bad way.
Lana then asked: "Theron what did-"
The Outlander wavered a bit, he somehow felt like, that the choice would affect his life greatly, but he had to choose: Girl/Boy/Don't know
The Outlander answered: "I think a girl. Although if she resembles Kira, she might become quite a handful, even for me."
Lana, Theron and some of the Alliance Troops began laughing, while Senya and Arcann simply gave a little smile.
The Outlander contacted Koth and asked: "How does the situation look up there Koth?"
Koth answered: "They have begun preparation for retreat, we did it Commander!"
The Outlander said: "Good job Koth."
Koth answered: "My pleasure Commander."
The Outlander closed the transmission. Everyone aboard the shuttle breathe out with relief and tired smiles across their faces.
Vaylin's voice were heard again, without affecting time: "Laugh as long as you can Outlander. This is only the beginning."
Coruscant: Scene
The door into The Outlander's Old Stronghold opened. A mysterious silhouette moved in the darkness.(Not revealed yet.)
End
