well time for chio and Osaka's time in the limelight(mostly anyway) with a shout out to a famous abridged series
CHAPTER 7
Chio and Osaka were sitting in one of the Jedi temple's meditation rooms, waiting to see what the Jedi master Yamanaka had in store for them "hey Chio"
said Osaka "yes Osaka what is it?" Chio responded cheerfully "did you master Yamanaka was once part of a band?" Osaka asked "actually I didn't, what
was it called?" Chio asked with a sweet smile "I think it was called Death Devaronian" Osaka answered "that's a weird name" Chio said "yep" Osaka said
smiling "anyway she is supposedly now helping train a group Jedi in forming a band to serve as spies from I heard, I think they call themselves the
Planetary Tea Time "Osaka continued, Chio couldn't help but giggle at the thought of a Jedi band "that's silly I wonder who would be gullible enough to fall
for a bunch of Jedi disguised as a band" Chio said with a big smile "you would be surprised" said Jedi master Yamanaka as she walked into the room. "Oh
master Yamanaka, greetings" said Chio bowing politely "good morning" Osaka said cheerfully forgetting it was the late afternoon "hello kids" Master
Yamanaka said with a big smile on her face, she seemed to be one of the sweetest people in the galaxy, but according to some people she hides an
aggressive, wild-side. "So what is it you wish for us to do?" Chio asked sweetly "oh just some training exercises" Yamanaka replied she then paused for a
minute before continuing "then we have to go to Taris and deal with a….slight problem there" she said, Chio and Osaka paused eyes wide before quickly
regaining their composure "doesn't sound so bad" Osaka said with a big smile "uh yeah just wait till we get there" Yamanaka said rubbing the back of her
head and with an awkward smile on her face. Chio's and Osaka's training session went by quickly and smoothly and the very second it was over they
headed off to Taris ready for whatever master Yamanaka had in store for them but not before she revealed her wild-side to a rude obnoxious student which
got him to start behaving himself. "Man her wild-side sure is crazy ain't it?" Osaka asked though she wasn't serious, the trip to Taris went by as smooth as
silk, while they walked through the planet's ruined streets Yamanaka stopped at a bar to ask question about their task, and while Chio and Osaka waited
Osaka went to flirt with a young soldier, whereas for Chio she just sat down and and had a friendly chit-tat with a Cathar soldier, who resembled a soldier
Chio had heard about from master Blasilver named Aric Jorgen. "Well nice talking to ya kid, but I have to get back to Havoc Squad now" the soldier said
with a surprisingly pleasant smile "ok bye" Chio said, she then thought to herself "wait did he just say, Havoc Squad? Does that mean he is Aric Jorgen?"
she wondered to herself.
A couple of hours later master Yamanaka with a cheerful smile on her face "well I got the information we needed" she said "ok what are we supposed to
do?" Chio asked "well as it turns out…..we have to leave Taris and travel to Nar Shadaa." Yamanaka answered now sounding irritated "are we chasing a
criminal?" asked Osaka "yes, but not just any criminal, a man who is wanted for poisoning an entire military base." Yamanaka answered "seriously?" asked
Chio "afraid so little lady" Yamanaka answered with a fake smile. So once again they were off this time to Nar Shadaa, after landing they walked around
the planet for a while, although for Osaka, she kept having bad memories from all the perverted weirdoes she encountered last time she was here and
unfortunately for her history repeated itself "not going to cut off anyone's arm, not going to cut of anyone's arm, not going to cut off anyone's arm" she
thought to herself after being groped three times when she wasn't looking she even had an obviously fake smile on her face to boot. As for Chio she had an
easy time even though there was a psychotic Gammorrean that literally wanted to eat her fortunately the Gammorrean wasn't too terribly bright and was
Jedi mind tricked by Chio to rethink his life. "There he is" said master Yamanaka pointing at a hulking Selkath with a blind eye "I didn't think fish people
could get that big" Osaka said with her jaw dropping "he is a Selkath, Osaka, but I agree I didn't think they could get THAT big either!" Chio exclaimed with
wide, nervous eyes "oh come on Chio it's not so bad I once ran into a ten foot tall cyborg Sith…yeah that is a day I would like to forget" Yamanaka said
shivering at the memory "really what happened?" asked Osaka "trust me you do not want to know now let us arrest the freaky fish guy already" Yamanaka
sternly said "I AM NOT A FREAKY FISH GUY!" the Selkath angrily shouted he then whipped out a large, curved sword "how can he lift that?" Chio thought
to herself "something tells me you stinking Jedi are after, even though I committed no crime?!" the Selkath asked growling a little "you poisoned an entire
military base" Yamanaka said with a glare "that was last week I meant recently" the Selkath snapped "ok how about, according to your criminal record, the
time you blew up a ship?" asked Yamanaka still glaring "which one?" asked the Selkath "the one full of Rodians" Yamanaka answered "oh, right well I had a
good reason for doing that!" the Selkath shouted "uh-huh and what was that?" Asked Yamanaka growling a little for she had a good friend on that ship
when it blew "it was fun" the Selkath answered smiling "how about you lower your weapon and we can take you to jail quickly?" Yamanaka said trying to
hold back her anger, but as she was saying that the Selkath attacked Yamanaka barely dodged the attack, as the Selkath went for the second swing Osaka
sliced off one of his arms with her lightsaber "ARRRGHHH you little…..fine I will go quietly" the Selkath growled "I thought you would see it our way" Osaka
said "good work Osaka that should keep him down" Yamanaka politely said after getting the Selkath into Republic custody master Yamanaka gave Osaka
and Chio assignments to work on together without the aid of a Jedi master "don't worry these will be easy" Yamanaka said giving the two young Jedi
apprentices confidence "thanks…..HEY, isn't this the same assignment that Dawn got killed doing?" asked Chio "blue hair, blue eyes, and wore what looked
like a pink mini skirt whenever she did a solo assignment, that Dawn?" asked Yamanaka "yep" Chio answered "how did that assignment get in there?"
Yamanaka asked herself, she then took it away and took it upon herself to complete it. "What was that assignment about Chio?" asked Osaka "well…let's
just say it involves a Sarlaac pit, a Hutt that likes eating people, and a rogue assassin droid…." Chio answered "oh so what killed Dawn?" Osaka asked
"from what I heard none of the above supposedly her death was much worse than all three of those combined." Chio answered shivering a little "scary…."
Osaka said
Meanwhile in the imperial fleet, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE JUST LOST FIVE PLANETS TO THE REPUBLIC?!" Darth Malacard roared "I mean sir that the
republic managed to beat us on five planets" said the terrified soldier "tell me right now who was were the commanding officers on each of those
planets?!" Malacard growled "well they were admiral Taylor, admiral Valix, and and that's it" the soldier answered still very scared, Malacard in
a fit of rage threw the soldier out an airlock, then proceeded to hunt the commanding officers and tortured them to death. Kaizer and Shadius had the
misfortune of watching one of the commanding officers getting tortured needless to say it wasn't a pretty image "uh Malacard got any assignments for us?"
Kaizer asked "NO NOW GET OUT OF HERE I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF DISCIPLINING AN IDIOT!" Malacard roared Kaizer and Shadius rushed out of the room
"ok that was enjoyable" Shadius said with sarcasm. "While we wait for him to calm down, want to go do something?" Kaizer asked "sure" Shadius replied
without hesitation the two Sith knew it was going to take Malacard hours to get over his anger so they got on their ship and headed for Nar Shadaa and
played a card game called pazaak in a random cantina, well Kaizer did anyway Shadius just flirted with every male in the cantina and tortured a random
idiot named Hercule.
Back over to Osaka and Chio, the first assignment was a trip to Hoth the mission took a while to complete do to Osaka and Chio playing in the snow, as it
turned out all they had to do was bring some ammunition to the soldiers on the planet and they were all too busy to pay attention to the two young Jedi
"ah I see I am not the only Jedi here" said a Jedi master with crazy looking hair "oh hello master….."Chio and Osaka said at the same time though they
paused cause even though they had seen his face before they didn't know his name "I am master Goku" the Jedi master answered "oh I have heard of you"
Osaka said "yeah they say you love planets with extremes" Chio said full of youthful energy "well that's true I won't deny that" Goku said with a smile "so
what brings you here?" asked Chio "oh I am just helping out the soldiers here with a nasty Wampa problem, what about you two" Goku responded "well we
were delivering weapon ammunition but the soldiers were too distracted to except them" Osaka answered "then we were going to be off doing other
assignments for master Yamanaka" Chio added on from were Osaka left off "ah I see well if you two aren't too busy later on maybe you can help me I am
looking for a fallen Jedi" Goku said "sure who is this fallen Jedi" Chio and Osaka asked in unison again "ok we need to stop doing that it's kind of weird"
Osaka said "a little yes" Chio said agreeingly, Goku chuckled then revealed the name of the fallen Jedi "her name is Kagami a Sith tortured her until she
snapped, made worse by the fact she was still recovering from her sister's death at the hands of Darth Malacard and the death of a good friend of hers also
at the hands of Darth Malacard two years prior." Goku said with a bit of a sad tone in his voice "sounds like you know her pain" Chio said "I do my friend
Krillan was killed by Malacard and another friend named Chiaotzu beforehand his master Tien is in terrible pain now, because Malacard forced him to watch
his death" Goku said "that's sad" Osaka said "yeah" Chio said "so master Goku can I ask you about master Vegeta?" Osaka asked trying to change the topic
before it got too painful "not at all what about him" asked Goku "well I heard he used to be a Sith lord" Osaka said "yep he was" Goku said "what was his
Sith name?" asked Osaka "well it was Darth Oozaru" Goku said chuckling a little bit "not very threatening sounding" Chio said "true but same thing can be
said about a lot of Sith names" Goku said "yeah I guess so…..WOW is it that late already?!" Chio said looking at the time "sorry master we have to go
now" the two padawans said "no problem" Goku said with a smile so Chio and Osaka quickly gave the ammunition to the troops and took off as fast as they
could to their next destination.
Meanwhile on Nar Shadaa, Kaizer and Shadius were talking to a dark Jedi careful not to mention they were Sith since they could see very clearly in her
eyes that she would probably attack if she were to find out they were Sith it didn't help that occasionally she would say death to Sith "so, uh, what's your
name" asked Shadius "I-I am Kagami" the dark Jedi answered stuttering her words she was very clearly disturbed " I see so do you have any friends?"
asked Kaizer "friends? I don't know Sith….kill…friends" Kagami responded with a tear rolling down her cheek "should we try to recruit her?" asked Shadius
while whispering "no, her mind is too ravaged from whatever happened to her" Kaizer responded while also whispering, Kagami left while they were
whispering to each other were she went neither of the two Sith knew nor did they care they didn't perceive her as a threat. "Well what do you want to do
now?" asked Shadius "lets head back to the fleet and see if Malacard has cooled down yet or not" Kaizer said "ok you're the boss" Shadius said when they
got back to the fleet it wasn't a pretty picture there were literally bodies floating around Malacard's flagship "oh this doesn't look good" Shadius said
"yeeeep" Kaizer said agreeing with her. Sure enough Malacard had cooled down but at the cost of most of his crew the few remaining survivors were
trembling with fear. "So uh Malacard any assignments?" asked Kaizer "no I am just relaxing" Malacard responded the way he said it though sent chills down
Kaizer's and Shadius's spines.
Osaka and Chio had reached their fifth and final destination, with the first three after Hoth ridiculously short, they were relieved because the trip to their
destination, which was Dantooinee, was long and dull mainly cause their ship broke down halfway there and they needed to wait for someone to save them
which took a couple of hours, unfortunately the person who took them the rest of the way to Dantooinee was Yukari so both Jedi saw their lives flash before
their eyes due to her terrifying piloting skills. "Well ok here we are on Dantooinee" Osaka said cheerfully glad to be away off the ship "yep" Chio said also
glad to be off the ship "master Yukari are you coming?" asked Chio "no I am going to Coruscant, don't worry Nyamo will be here to pick you two up a little
later" answered Yukari said taking off as fast as she could. "I wonder what she was in such a rush for?" asked Osaka "I don't know" answered Chio
unknown to them there was a new bar on Coruscant that Yukari wanted to check out. "Well let's get to work Osaka" Chio said "ok" Osaka said, the mission
was to once again clear out some kinraths and apparently deal with a mutant kath hound "so how come with have to deal with kinraths again?" asked
Osaka "I don't know, I think it has something to do with all the other Jedi being busy right now" answered Chio "makes you wonder what Kagura, Sakaki,
Yomi, and the others are doing right now, huh?" asked Osaka "yeah, actually I think they are all on Tatooinee something about dealing with an invasive
species" Chio responded "well let's hope it isn't too bad" said Osaka which Chio agreed to. As Chio and Osaka cleared a cave full of kinrath trying to get to
its queen in an attempt to clear them out for good, they came across a room full of crystals "hey Chio can you feel it?" Osaka asked "yeah the force is
strong in here" Chio answered with wide eyes "hey I have heard about this place supposedly some famous Jedi came through here long ago" Chio said
"really?" Osaka asked which Chio nodded to "the force is very strong in here" a quiet almost ghostly voice said "who said that?" asked Osaka as she and
Chio looked around in all directions, then a cloaked figure walked out of the shadows "who-who are you?" Chio asked nervously as she and Osaka readied
there lightsabers "who am I? A Jedi who has long since forgotten his name" the figure responded "a Jedi? Ok so why are you here?" asked Osaka "I am a
seer I came here to heighten my sight" the figure responded "when you say seer does that mean you can see the future?" asked Chio to which the figure
nodded to "I have foreseen many events in my life time such as the extinction of the rakghoul virus and the fall and rebirth of the Jedi order" the figure
said "huh?" Chio and Osaka asked not quite understanding what he was saying "fear not these events shall not happen for hundreds of years" the figure
said "ok, so do you know about the present?" asked Chio "yes the problems you and your friends are facing now will only get worse before they get better"
the figure answered "ok how about the kinrath queen?" asked Osaka with a little bit of fear in her voice "the queen is already dead, it died do to disease the
kinrath your fighting now shall soon die as well for without a queen they cannot survive" the figure answered, he then began to fade away into the shadows
"WAIT, can you tell us about Malacard and how to defeat him?" chio asked "no his future is unknown to me" the figure answered as he disappeared "that
was weird" Osaka said "yeah" Chio say agreeing with her they then saw the kinrath queen's corpse surprised to see he was telling the truth they left the
cave since there wasn't anything left for them to do there.
It took Chio and Osaka approximately five hours to reach their next destination on Dantooinee to deal with a mutant Kath hound and when they got to the
location where it was supposedly at they were surprised to see it wasn't there, at least not yet "no mutant Kath hound here" Osaka said "yeah I know" Chio
said she was expecting to see the Kath hound jump them. "Give it a couple of hours it will be back" said a voice from behind them "um who are you?"
asked Chio who got startled a little by the blue haired man who was standing behind them "the names Soujirou" he answered "So whatcha doing here"
asked Osaka "just enjoying the wildlife getting over the destruction done to my home planet" Soujiro answered "really what happened?" asked Chio "a man
named Darth Malacard happened, he attacked my home planet literally for no reason!" Soujirou growled his anger startled Osaka and Chio "forgive me he
has taken much from me" Soujirou said "something tells me you have a lot of experience with him" Chio said "I have I used to be a mercenary working for
him until he threatened to turn my daughter into a Sith just to make sure I would remain loyal to him." Soujirou said with a tear rolling down his cheek "I
barely managed smuggle my by daughter off my planet I then had her join the Jedi order to secure her future, that was a mistake" he continued "Why?"
asked Chio "because years later Malacard killed her" Soujirou answered tears in his eyes and anger in his voice " I am sorry" Chio and Osaka said one at
time sincerely "thanks but it isn't either of your faults" Soujirou said "so if you don't mind me asking what was your wife and daughter's names?" asked
Osaka politely but before he could answer the mutant Kath hound they were looking for attacked, but it turned out to be highly anticlimactic as Osaka was
able to kill it in one hit via impaling it the gut. "Now that that's settled to answer your question, her name was Konata" Soujirou answered "the name
sounds familiar" Osaka said "I would hope so, from what I have heard she was talked about a lot for her eccentric nature" Soujirou said with a small smile
he then began to leave but stopped himself to say "oh and if no one in Jedi order kills Malacard soon then I will!" with determination in his voice "you do
realize revenge won't bring your daughter back, right?" asked Chio "I know, but if you two knew just how much pain he has caused in the galaxy you would
know why I wish to kill him" Soujiro answered then he was gone.
Back on the imperial fleet Kaizer and Shadius were seeing what their hated master was doing "ever heard of the planet anime?" Malacard asked Kaizer and
Shadius when he sensed their presence "no" Kaizer was quick to answer "too bad it was a fun day when I had my fleet bombard it" Malacard say with great
pleasure "about 45% of the planets population perished that day" Malacard continued chuckling a little bit. "I have recently sent some spy probes to
observe a dark Jedi I am enjoying watching her madness" Malacard said in a very dark tone "um who is this Jedi my master?" asked Shadius "oh just a
random Jedi I had a Sith apprentice capture and torture just to see how much her mind could take, in fact she is on the screen right now!" Malacard
responded with glee, on the screen of his monitor it showed a Jedi that Kaizer and Shadius ran into not too long ago "Kagami, so he is the reason she went
crazy huh? Man do we know her pain…" Kaizer whispered to Shadius to which she nodded her head in sad agreement.
Traveling through space with Nyamo never felt better they made a request to her if they could assist master Goku with his mission to find Kagami which
she agreed to "hey master Nyamo" Osaka said "yes what is it Osaka?" Nyamo asked "what happened to master Yukari?" Osaka asked "oh, well…..she
passed out in the cantina she went to, no surprise really" Nyamo answered "why, is she ok?" asked Chio who was now concerned "oh she's fine….but now
she has a hangover…..again…" Nyamo answered "I take it happens a lot?" asked Osaka "yep, every time she finds out about a new cantina or a bar, or if
there is a sell on a beverage" Nyamo said with a big sigh. They met up with Goku on a dead world named Katarr "what happened here?" asked Chio "many
years ago, long before the masters you know about were born this planet was attacked by a Sith lord named Darth Nihilius he consumed this planet of all
life" Nyamo answered "wow is this Sith still around?" asked Osaka although she probably should have known the answer to that "no he died" Nyamo
answered, "hey guys whats up" master Goku said with a cheerful tone of voice "hey master Goku so have you found Kagami yet?" asked Nyamo, Goku had
a big smile on his face "indeed I have but I will need some assistance getting her she is in terrible pain, why she went to this planet is unknown to me but
we need to get her, she is in need of healing" Goku informed Nyamo "got it, did you hear that girls?" asked Nyamo "yep" Chio and Osaka said at the same
time. After several hours of walking around the planet looking at the ruins of many building, Osaka of all people found Kagami crying in a cave in a field
position "hi are you Kagami?" Osaka asked "yeah" Kagami cried "I am here with others to help you" Osaka said reassuringly "I know someone said you
would come" Kagami cried "really, who?" asked Osaka "Konata but I don't know if it is truly her or not or if it's just my mind" Kagami told Osaka "yes it
really is me I am trying to help I want you to know you're not alone and your friends and familiar shall always be with you even if they aren't alive
anymore" the force ghost of Konata said trying to help her old friend, Osaka couldn't see or hear her do to Konata preventing her from being seen for
reasons unknown, "no you'll just try to hurt me" Kagami said activating her lightsaber ready to attack "no we are here to help you" Nyamo said calmly in a
kind hearted tone of voice, Goku and Chio showed up shortly after and began talking to Kagami calmly trying to help her, "go ahead and listen to them
Kagami and trust me you will make some great friends, in fact the entire Jedi order is both your family and your friend, please do it for your friends and
familiar who are long gone let them help you. You are not alone, you will never be alone" Konata said to Kagami reassuringly. Kagami dropped her weapon
and burst into tears Nyamo walked up to her and put her arms over her "there, there, you will be safe and your pain shall heal" Nyamo said with a kindness
not found nearly enough. Konata's ghost smiled at Kagami and left for the afterlife but she made it a point to frequently to check up on Kagami so that she
could be sure she is doing fine. Malacard who was watching all this from a spy probe was not happy to see what just happened at all "I wanted some blood
shed" he growled "sir we are nearly ready" a random soldier told him, that perked up Malacard "perfect I guess there is some good news after all" Malacard
said with sadistic glee.
After all was said and done and everyone was back at the Jedi temple Chio quickly asked master Yamanaka how her mission went do to her curiosity "I was
successful but trust you do not want to know the details" Yamanaka told Chio, as for Chio and Osaka's friends there mission went by a smooth a silk,
except for Kaorin who entered a field position whenever someone mentioned it and whimpered "yeah she kind of got herself eaten alive by some random
creature, nobody knew what it was then barfed back out at least four times" Yomi said "ouch" Osaka said. As for Yukari no one saw for about week due to
the fact she had way too much fun at the bar on Coruscant.
