Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I got nothing. Here is the next chapter enjoy.
The past and feelings revealed
Nightshroud
Sherri was in the surgery room trying to save Jyun. Jyun took three shots from General Grievous blaster. The first two shots were stopped by the armor, but the third broke through and hit Jyun in the chest. The blaster barley missed both his heart and lungs, but still caused some bleeding and damage to Jyun. Sherri was in the room with Winston who linked into a droid body so that he could help Sherri with the surgery. So far the surgery was going well; Sherri put Jyun to sleep so that he wouldn't feel anything.
Outside the room sitting on a chair was Ahsoka. She sat there hoping the surgery was going well. The last thing she wanted was for Jyun to die because of her. When Sherri arrived with the ship Ahsoka helped Jyun inside and took him to the surgery room. Sherri asked Ahsoka if she was going to stay on Rodia. Ahsoka looked at Jyun for a second and told Sherri she was going to stay. Sherri knew Ahsoka should stay and go back to the republic, but saw something in Ahsoka's eye that wanted her to stay. Sherri allowed it and helped Ahsoka carry Jyun to the surgery room.
After an hour in surgery Sherri came out of the room with some blood on her clothes and gloves. "Sherri is Jyun all right?" asked Ahsoka as she got off the chair when Sherri came out. "Jyun's fine, the blast missed his heart and lungs, but he will need to rest for a while" said Sherri.
Ahsoka sighted after hearing the news. She was relief that Jyun was all right. "Um Sherri can I see him?" said Ahsoka.
"Hmmm maybe later for now he needs to rest. We'll come back in a few hours to see if he's awake" said Sherri. "Now then let me go change into my clothes and see if we can find another planet to drop you off" said Sherri.
"Actually Sherri, if it's okay with you. Can I stay until Jyun is back on his feet?" said Ahsoka.
Sherri knew Jyun wasn't going to like this, but Ahsoka did help him. So Sherri didn't see a problem with it, "sure now then help me make lunch, with Jyun incapacitated we will have to cook our own food" said Sherri as she and Ahsoka walked towards the kitchen laughing.
Count Dooku's ship
Count Dooku was not in a good mood. One of grievous battle droids informed him that Jyun had defeated grievous in battle. Although Grievous was alive…barley, Jyun was still out there breathing. Dooku knew Jyun was good, but to be able to beat grievous without a lightsaber mean the boy had gotten stronger. He could feel it; he knew he should have killed the boy along with Kane. Now with Grievous defeated it would only be a matter of time before he comes after him. Dooku knew he needed to come up with a plan. Should he fail, then Jyun would go after his master and the sith will be wiped out.
Kitchen of Nightshroud
Sherri and Ahsoka were in the kitchen trying to cook some lunch. It turns out both of them haven't got a clue on how to cook. They tried to make several meals but their meals seemed to turn out either burned or it was moving which caused Sherri to shoot it.
"Well Ahsoka it's official we're terrible cooks" said Sherri.
"Yeah looks that way, I though you said you were married. Isn't the wife suppose to know how to cook" said Ahsoka.
"I'm a doctor not a chef, besides last time I cook I nearly gave my husband food poisoning, same thing happened to Jyun as well. So they both decided to cook instead of me. Besides I thought living in a jedi temple, they would at least teach you how to cook" said Sherri.
"Not really, the only jedi who cooks was master Shaak Ti, and believe me you do not want to try her food" said Ahsoka as she shuddered remembering the last time she tried her masters cooking.
"Okay so were terrible cooks' big deal I'm sure Winston knows how to cook right Winston?" said Sherri.
Winston appeared in his robot form wearing an apron and a chef's hat. "I thought you never ask my lady. I have been studying every recipe and cooking methods in the entire galaxy" said Winston.
"Great thanks Winston" said Sherri.
"Yeah thanks Winston" said Ahsoka.
"It's my pleasure ladies now stand back and let this old bot do its job" said Winston as he entered the kitchen and began to cook.
Ahsoka and Sherri went over to the kitchen table and waited for Winston to finish making lunch. "Wow I've never met a droid that liked to cook" said Ahsoka.
"Well I shouldn't be surprise Winston being an A.I (Artificial Intelligence)" said Sherri.
"But I thought A.I's were suppose to act more like a droid than a real person" said Ahsoka.
"Well what makes Winston special is that he was a real person. See long ago Winston died of a terrible disease when he was around eighty years old. He donated his body to science when he died. I was able to find his brain and use it for an experiment I was conducting" said Sherri,
"An experiment, what kind of an experiment did you do that required a brain?" asked Ahsoka.
"Well I had a theory that what if I could download a human's personality, memories, and intelligence into a computer. Now on our planet it has never been done properly, but thanks to some tweaks here and there I was able to transfer Winston into an artificial computer and well the rest you could probably guess what happened next" said Sherri.
"So let me guess this straight. Winston who was once human is now inside this ships computer because of what you did?" said Ahsoka. Sherri nodded. In Ahsoka's mind all she could think of was, wow and I though Dr. Vindi was crazy, but what Sherri did was even crazier.
Winston entered the room and brought Ahsoka and Sherri their lunch. "Here we are ladies enjoy" said Winston as he handed out the food.
"Winston is that Filet Mignon?" asked Sherri as she saw Winston bring in something Sherri used to eat on her planet.
"Yes my dear I decided to instead of making some of Jyun's usual food. I decided to go with something different. Please try it tell me what you think" said Winston.
Sherri and Ahsoka took a bite of the Filet and they couldn't believe it. It wasn't good, it was delicious. Sherri hadn't eaten Filet since she was a kid. Ahsoka had never tried something this good before. She didn't mind Jyun's cooking, but this was amazing.
"Winston this is really good. This is better than what Jyun cooks…just don't tell him I said that" said Sherri.
"Thank you madam and don't worry I won't say a word to master Jyun. And what of you madam Tano" said Winston as he turns to Ahsoka.
"Not bad, I never tasted anything this good before good job Winston" said Ahsoka.
"Thank you my dear now then when your finish please leave your plates in the sink so I may begin washing them" said Winston.
"Oh no Winston me and Ahsoka will clean our plates it's the least we can do. Just go and check on Jyun. Contact me if his condition changes" said Sherri.
"If you insist Madam Sherri I'll leave you and Miss Tano with your lunch then" said Winston as he leaves the room, leaving Ahsoka and Sherri alone in the kitchen.
After finishing eating and cleaning the table, Ahsoka and Sherri are now in the living room both telling each other's stories about their adventures. "So let me get this straight, you threaten Nute Gunray one of the separatist leaders to tell you and Master Luminara Unduli everything about the separatist or you would gut him" said Sherri.
"Well I wasn't serious. I know the jedi's don't use terror to get information. But it was the only way in my mind to get information out of slime like Gunray" said Ahsoka.
"On my planet during a time of war, we would use terror and torture to get information out of terrorist and enemies that threaten our home. In that time most of the people thought hurting someone isn't the way to get information, but I guess in a way it was in my view. I know Jedi are supposed to be peace keepers, but once in a while they should get their hands dirty if they are to end this war" said Sherri.
Ahsoka knew what Sherri meant, one time she saw master Obi wan, Anakin, and Mace Windu use to force on Cad Bane to tell them where he hid the children he kidnapped and the jedi holocron he stole from the temple to find the kids. She knew at that time it was the right thing to do, even though it was against the code at that time the code didn't matter.
"Well Ahsoka I guess we better see if Jyun's condition has changed" said Sherri as she got off the couch.
"Actually Sherri there is one thing I want to know" said Ahsoka.
Sherri came back to the couch and responded, "Okay what else do you want to know Ahsoka?" said Sherri.
Ahsoka looked into Sherri's eyes and knew this was a good a time as any to ask her. "Sherri please tell me everything about Jyun" said Ahsoka.
"Ah, Ahsoka I don't know if I should tell you" said Sherri.
"Please I know it's supposed to be a big secret but I'm worried about him. I need to know so I can help him please" said Ahsoka.
Sherri now could see Ahsoka didn't just care about Jyun. The look on Ahsoka's eyes was the same look she had with Ryan. "You care about him a lot don't you Ahsoka" said Sherri.
Ahsoka nodded. She did care; she didn't want to admit it. But since her time with him she has been feeling different. She knew what it was and there was and there was no way of hiding it from Sherri.
"All right, but you must promise me you will not tell anyone about this" said Sherri.
"I promise Sherri" said Ahsoka.
"No Ahsoka, I mean you cannot tell your masters back at the temple, the republic leaders, and your master. Please Ahsoka promise me you won't tell anyone" said Sherri who sounded very serious.
"Okay Sherri I give you my word as a jedi I will not tell anyone" said Ahsoka.
"Okay well I guess we should begin with Roland Kane" said Sherri as she lowered the lights to make the story more dramatic.
Sorry to interrupt, but this part of the story will have the Italic on. The only time it wont have it is when either Ahsoka or Sherri talk in the background.
"Dr. Rolland Kane was a brilliant scientist. He was born on the planet of Alderaan, he went to the most advanced and private universities in the galaxy. When he graduated he joined the republic medical science (made it up so what). There he brought new ideas and helped the republic grow even further than it was" said Sherri.
"But with every success there comes a tragedy. Kane was accused of killing a senator. They said they saw the senator and Kane arguing in the senate building. That meeting was the last anyone saw the senator. They found out the senator was financially supporting an experiment Kane was conducting. However the senator pulled the plug on the project and refuse to give Kane anymore money. The republic assumed he killed the senator because of the money. They entered his lab and found that he was creating creatures he called chimeras (yeah like that freak doctor from Fullmetal Alchemist), each one was created by splicing and mixing different kinds of animals together. The republic revoke his license as a scientist and he couldn't get a job as a doctor or a scientist" said Sherri.
"But since the republic didn't find any evidence that Kane killed the senator and that the senator knew at the time what Kane was doing, they had no choice but to drop the murder charge. Kane was suppose to also serve time fro what he created, but the chancellor decided to drop the charges as well since most of the data he had on the creatures were terminated and the chimeras disappeared as well.. Kane left the republic after that and disappeared, from what I heard he found and made a small lab on Rhen Var where thanks to a generous donor he continued his experiments" said Sherri.
"Who was this generous donor Sherri?" asked Ahsoka.
"I'm getting to that hold on" said Sherri.
It turns out that same donor also helped rid of the evidence against Kane. His name was Count Dooku. He felt that Kane was on to something with his experiments. He helped Kane get some money, a lab, and where he can do his experiments. Dooku even found him assistance to help him with his experiments. All he needed to do was make him a clone of a young jedi who died in the republic several weeks ago. I don't need to tell you who that boy was right Ahsoka?" said Sherri.
Ahsoka knew who it was, it was Alex. She remember seeing Dooku wiping some blood off of Alex, with a cloth. That cloth must be the one Dooku gave to Kane to help clone Alex.
Kane had another idea on what to do though. He wanted to create something never seen before or even done before. He contacted an old friend of his named Morgan Fox. I knew Morgan when I was a student of Dr. Kane. Morgan used to be a soldier for the republic but quit after a knee injury. So he decided to work with Kane by finding him specimens from all across the galaxy. When Kane got arrested Morgan fled the republic and headed to the outer rim. But when Kane got out he and Morgan worked together again. Kane send Morgan to look for a potential specimen for his next experiment. It took Morgan weeks but he found a specimen. He found something on a planet that was in the deep part of the galaxy, one even the jedi's would never venture out. He landed on a planet to find some specimens for Kane, but what he found was a particular creature. He found a wounded humanoid alien, it seems to have died from some puncture wounds and it had several weapons on its personal, so he brought the creature onboard his ship came back to the lab" said Sherri.
"This creature was nothing Dr. Kane or Morgan had ever seen. It was a creature that Kane needed for his experiment. He wanted to know more about the creature so he send Morgan back to where he found it. When he got there he found nothing, so he returned back to the lab where" said Sherri as she stopped.
"Sherri what happened next?" asked Ahsoka.
"He didn't come back alone. When he came back one of those things followed him and killed him. The creature then proceeded to kill every person in the facility. Kane was the only survivor…two years later he contacted me and wanted me to join him with his experiments, which at the time I didn't know about. This was around the time my husband and …son died. But since I didn't have a job or money I chose to go work with him. There he told me everything, the creature, what Dooku wanted Kane to do, everything. He told me the creature was called a Yautja, they are some kind of nomadic warriors that is from another galaxy. They hunt, not hunt animals on their planet hunted, like hunted live forms much like us, humans, Togrutas, Rancors, Twi'leks, Wookiee or any other live-forms that appear to be good hunt" said Sherri.
"Kane wanted to create the greatest warrior and predator the galaxy has ever seen. He cloned Alex's body and combined it with his DNA and the Yautja he killed DNA. And thus was born Jyun" said Sherri.
Ahsoka now knew how Jyun was born. Now she knew why he looked like Alex and how he was stronger than grievous. It was because of Kane and Dooku. Dooku gave Kane Alex's DNA and Kane combined his DNA with this Yautja's DNA.
"I joined Kane when Jyun was around seven years old. When I met Jyun I was assign to take care of him and make sure he stayed out of trouble. Much like I'm doing now except I was not allowed to talk to him. I didn't know what Kane had plan for Jyun till they came back on a mission from Shili. I saw the boy had wounds on his back and face. I wanted to know what happened but Kane told me he was testing the boy. That was all he told me. I did my job and helped Jyun by cleaning his wounds and giving him his meals. The more time I spend with him, the more time I began to see him as a son" said Sherri.
"A year passed and one day I saw Jyun fighting a Wampa. I wanted to help him, but Kane stopped me and told me not to interfere. I saw Jyun kill the Wampa by slitting its throat. I couldn't believe an eight year old boy killed an adult Wampa with only a knife. Kane told me to take the boy to his room so he may tell me the truth of what was going on. After explaining to me everything the first thing I wanted to do was quit. He told me I was welcome to leave but asked me something. He knew I grew attached to the boy and knew the next person he hired wouldn't be as nice as I was. Finally I saw Kane for who he truly was. A maniac who wanted to use a boy for his own personal agenda. I knew I couldn't leave. If I went to the republic with this, they would experiment on Jyun and probably kill him. I couldn't let that happen so from that day forth I kept my mouth shut and did my job, all the while taking care of Jyun and trying my best to keep him safe from Kane" said Sherri.
Ahsoka felt bad for Jyun. No child should have to go through what Jyun had to go through. During the story she could feel Sherri's emotion. How Sherri felt like she should have done something to help Jyun. But in Ahsoka's mind she did.
"Eight years later Jyun had gotten stronger and he was in his mind ready to prove he was the best. But first he wanted to kill Kane and make him pay for what he did to him. Kane however knew this was coming and revealed a surprise he had up his sleeve. It turns out the Yautja Kane said he killed was actually alive and was used to kill Jyun. However in the end Jyun killed the Yautja and Kane was killed by Dooku. Dooku said he felt that Kane fulfill his usefulness and wanted Jyun to join him. At first Jyun refused, but Dooku played on his Yautja side. Tempting him with fighting another class of warriors in the form of well the Jedi order, Jyun took a moment but he accepted Dooku's offer, he wasn't going to work for him. But he was going to hunt whatever Jedi Dooku would send after him, the rest as they say Ahsoka is history" said Sherri.
Ahsoka now knows why Jyun was different than anyone she has encounter before. No one should have to go through what Jyun had to go through, being treated like an animal. Hearing what Kane tried to do to him and Dooku using him made Ahsoka mad, she really hopes Dooku pays for what he did.
"Well now you know everything Ahsoka. In a way I am glad I told you the truth" said Sherri.
"Why, why are you glad to tell me?" said Ahsoka.
"Because if it wasn't for you, Jyun would still be after jedi's, but thanks to you, you helped change him into the person I wanted him to be. Not a monster or a predator but someone who fights to protect someone he cares about" said Sherri.
"Someone he cares about, really" said Ahsoka who lightly blushed a little.
"I know he likes you Ahsoka and I know you like him too. So tell me what is the problem with telling each other how you feel?" said Sherri.
Ahsoka knew she would have to accept this sooner or later. "Sherri I do like Jyun, when I fought him I sense some good in him. When I met him onboard that good began to grow. When we were spending time together I felt butterflies in my stomach. But when we said our goodbye's it hurt not as much as I though he was killed by grievous. I felt my heart sink in pain, but when he was alive the pain went away" said Ahsoka.
Sherri knew how Ahsoka felt. She felt the same feelings when she was with Ryan. When she and Ryan were together she never wanted their time together to end.
"But Sherri you know I'm a jedi. It's against the code to form an attachment or fall in love. Even if I love Jyun the jedi's would never allow it, I'm sorry" said Ahsoka as she got off the couch.
Sherri couldn't believe the jedi's don't allow attachments or love. "How could they not allow attachments or love? It's not right Ahsoka, what is everyone emotionless at the temple" said Sherri.
"No their not emotionless, they just think that if you get attached to someone and they either get hurt or die. The pain will lead you down the dark side" said Ahsoka.
"Unbelievable, I would love to go down to the temple and give your masters a piece of my mind. I'm so mad I could just" said Sherri as she got off the couch and threw a chair onto the wall.
Ahsoka backed away slowly not wanting to get in the way of Sherri's anger. Winston contacted Sherri t to tell her of Jyun's condition. "Madam Sherri, master Jyun is starting to wake up" said Winston.
Sherri calmed down a bit and responded. "Thanks Winston we'll be there in a minute" said Sherri. Sherri looked at Ahsoka and knew she needed to tell Jyun the truth, even if it was against the rules she needed to tell Jyun the truth at least. "Hey Ahsoka why don't you go see Jyun while I clean this mess up okay" said Sherri.
Ahsoka knew what Sherri wanted her to do. "Sherri I told you I can't tell him because of the rules" said Ahsoka.
"True but who says the council needs to know whatever happens on this ship stays on this ship" said Sherri.
Ahsoka was going to tell Sherri no, but knew there was no harm in telling Jyun the truth. After all after she gets back she'll just tell the council she was locked in a room for the last week. No one would know the only ones who would know are Sherri, Winston, and Jyun. "Fine I just hope this doesn't come back to bite me on the butt" said Ahsoka as she left the room and headed towards the medical room.
Medical Bay
Ahsoka arrived to see Jyun was still sleeping. She walked over and sat next to Jyun. She knew when Jyun woke up she would need to say two things to him. She saw Jyun sleep peacefully; he looked different when he was asleep. She could tell he was calm and was at peace. She then moved her hands towards Jyun's hand and softly touched it. She felt his hand was smooth, one of the few parts of his body that didn't seem to have a scar. She wondered what it would be like to be hold by those hands…she later remembered she was several times when Jyun held her by the throat.
"You know in some systems it's against the law to molest a patient" said Jyun. (Line from the bone collector, good movie)
"Sorry I thought you were still asleep" said Ahsoka.
"Well it wasn't that bad it felt good" said Jyun.
"Thanks, how are you feeling?" asked Ahsoka.
"Oh I'm great getting shot in the chest really feels good. You should try it sometime" said Jyun in a sarcastic tone.
"Well I see your feeling better if you're able to still be sarcastic" said Ahsoka.
"Of course, so um are you okay I saw grievous throw you to those bikes pretty hard" said Jyun as he sat up on the bed.
"I'll live, listen I wanted to say thank you again for saving my life" said Ahsoka.
"It's okay, it's the least I could do after everything I did to you and to your friend" said Jyun.
"Listen about that, there's two things I need to tell you Jyun. And before I say it I need you to wait until after I'm finish speaking okay" said Ahsoka.
Jyun nodded in agreement. "Okay then so what is it?" said Jyun.
Ahsoka knew she had to get it over with. "Okay here it is, Jyun since we first met on Yavin I hated you for what you did to my master, to Tyler, master Phoivos, and the clones. When we met again on the Destroyer I sensed some good in you. Although you did nearly killed me I sensed no evil in you. Our time together has helped me see the real you, not some hunter but who you really are" said Ahsoka.
Jyun didn't know where she was going with this. But hearing her say those words cause the feelings in his stomach to come back.
"For these last few days I have had these feelings. A weird feeling in my stomach, at first I didn't want to believe what these feelings were especially with the jedi code involved. But when you saved me from grievous, nearly died, and came back to me, I finally knew what these were. Jyun…I love you" said Ahsoka.
Ah love it's a funny thing isn't it. Well my children that's the end of this chapter few more to go and the story will end. Leave me some reviews till then see ya.
