I readied my vibrosword, taunting Calo with it. He did just as I expected, and fired at me first. I ran forward, dodging stray shots, but it was harder to cut him down than I had originally thought. Carth was behind me, firing power blasts onto Calo until he couldn't take it anymore. He whipped out a detonator and laughed manically.
"I'll blow you all to hell."
He pressed the button, and this time, Carth played the hero and dragged me out of the way. I was merely dumbfounded that Calo would do something like that. A thunderous roar overcame my thoughts and I scrambled up just as a piece of the ceiling fell where I was sitting just seconds before.
"Come on toots, get on the damn ship!" Canderous shouted over the roar of bombs.
I helped Canderous strip Davik's body, and we ran onto the ship just as Bastila and Carth were priming the engines. We flew away and swooped low to pick up Mission and Zalbaar and sped away towards Dantooine. Carth flipped on the auto pilot and put his hands behind his head, heaving a heavy sigh.
"Damn Sith." I whispered, choking on tears.
"What it matter to you? That wasn't your home planet." Canderous snuffed.
I slapped his chest and stormed off. He was such an ass! I still have yet to heal his chest, if I ever get the time or patience. I sat down in the cargo hold, flipping on a small CD in the wall and listened as soft, relaxing music to play. I laid down on my back and eventually fell asleep with another vision flickering before my eyes.
--
I sat up with a gasp, covered in cold sweat. It was another vision of Bastila fighting Revan. I knew now that this was something of the force, these things do not happen 'coincidentally'. I found Bastila in the cockpit and she had the same look on her face as I did. I didn't bother talking to her about it, it would do no good.
"Morning sunshine" Carth greeted after my stare-down with Bastila.
"Morning Carth." I grumbled. I was only asleep for a few hours.
"What? No kiss?"
"Hell no." I replied and grabbed a cup of coffee.
I sipped it and sighed. It has been WAY too long since I've been able to sit down and have a good cup of coffee without being interrupted.
"Hey Zerstoren!"
I spoke too soon.
"Yes Canderous?"
"Take a look at this."
I growled and set my cup down, forcing myself to get up and take a look at whatever Canderous had to show me.
"What is it--"
I was interrupted by a fierce, yet passionate kiss on the mouth. I stumbled back and noticed it was Canderous, of all people. His huge paws dug into my hips as he aggressively pushed me into a wall. I struggled at first, then realized I kind of want this, so I gave in.
"Zerstoren, I wanted to run some--MY GOODNESS."
We quickly separated as Bastila walked in, red as a tomato that she walked in on such an intimate scene. She slowly backed away, then turned around and darted away as quickly as possible. Canderous just stood there laughing, trying to get rid of his erection. I got rid of it by punching him the bollocks.
"We are NEVER doing that AGAIN." I screamed, walking away from the crouched-over Canderous.
"What did you do?" Carth asked as he saw the evil grin on my face.
"Oh nothing. Just punched Canderous in the bollocks, that's all."
"Ouch! What for?"
"Ummm…just 'cause."
Carth gave me the you'd-better-tell-me-the-truth-or-I'll-do-something-bad look. I sighed and gave in.
"Canderous and I were making out hardcore, and Bastila walked in on us and freaked, so Canderous started laughing and I told him to never do that again."
"Umm..okay." Carth replied awkwardly, which sounded more like jealousy.
"What's wrong Carth? Jealous?"
He waved his hand merely shrugged, "Ha, as if."
"Okay, if you insist Carth." I mocked and walked out of the cockpit.
Little did I know that Carth was dying inside at the thought of losing me to Canderous.
