Legacy Of The Sith


Recommended Posts

The group ran inside the Mynock, Cade's ship. Lyna looked around inside and smiled. "Nice ship, Cade," she said. But her only concern was to get out of the space station. Quick.

 

Lyna sat down on a bench by the window. She looked out, and saw some people screaming in fear. "I wish I helped them," Lyna thought sadly. She looked at the others, seeing if they needed any help.

(urm... SkywalkerRules. I'd hate to sound like a smartass, but Cade left his ship, the Mynock, behind along with his crew, if I recall. If I may suggest, your character could always think this ship IS the Mynock, when its not.)

 

Cade felt rather awkward. "Err... thanks! It isn't mine, but anyway..." he climbed into the cockpit, and stared at the control panel. He flicked a few switches, then suddenly an "ACCESS DENIED" came from the monitor screen.

 

"Damn, the ship is coded. We'll need to find one of the crew members, which is suicide!"

 

He checked the registrations of whome the ship belonged to. "The ship appears to be the property of a... Rand Holden and a droid, XG-91."

 

****

 

XG-91 was facing the exterior of his ship in the dock. Earlier, he had a long boring, conversation with some other lunatic about this creature who was hunting everyone onboard the Wheel. He knew exactly what he needed to know about this thing, so he could kill it. Or could he?

 

Alas, he saw the beast stalking and pacing around the dock. XG had a chance of retribution. He unleashed his Cortosis Weaved claws, and stared at the hideous figure.

 

"You ready for another round, ugly?" XG launched himself at the creature, and took a swipe of his claws against the skin of the monster. XG took a look at his claws... they were ruined! Yes, he did draw blod from the creature, but the yellowish, green ooz seemed eat right through his delicate claws, as if they were slowly melting.

 

"My melee weapon!" XG cried. "You destroyed my melee weapon! You'll pay for this!"

Solidus left out another battlecry as his wound slowly healed. Another hit on the stations caused Solidus to almost loose his balance, this was it, Solidus had to leave if he wanted to make Nihl pay for his actions which ruined everything. Solidus jumped onto the wall where an airvent was. Solidus pulled off the cover and dived inside, disappearing from the battle.

"Yeah you better run, meatbag!" XG-91 called out to the beast. He walked up the ramp of his ship, only to find intruders have breached it.

 

"Ah, more victims on my list. Rest assured, I shall enjoy the pleasure and satisfaction of gutting the rest of you!"

 

"I take it your XG-91?" Cade began.

 

"Indeed. If you must know, I am a top-grade Assasin Droid. Designed to elliminate any personal of each species. This model is fitted with the best artilery for droids. Now, as I have given you a brief overview of my capabilities, you will find that I am a rather formidable oponent!"

 

"We need to use your ship, we must escape this station!" Cade persuaded with the droid.

 

"Peh, your pathetic excuses won't convince me, skin-tube! Now get off my deck!"

 

Cade sighed, as he used the force to stun the droid. XG fell to the ground, temporarily was paralised.

 

"Okay, now I'll just access his computer to get the codes for the ship!"

 

****

 

The ship blasted off out of the station, and that the crew saw a blockade surrounding the Wheel. Many Star Destroyers open firing at the station. There was only one Command Ship. Cade sensed Nihl's presence on that vessel. He prommised revenge on what he did to his father, and longed had he desired it!

Slate looked up at the ship, and the woman in it, telling him to get aboard. When something was offered to him, and it was for his benefit, he took it.

 

He, however, did not want to reveal the fact that he was force adept quite yet, so he took the longer, slower approach, climbing in.

 

After he was was in the second seat, he strapped in, looking around the cramped space, and the woman right infront of his face, at least the backside of her, sitting in the pilot's seat.

 

"Got a nice view," he muttered to himself.

 

He reached over and tapped her head lighlty, "tick-tock, lady, time is running out." He said in his sarcastic voice, no urgensy what-so-ever.

******

Wolf was aboard the ship with the group, his new little lap dog standing behind him nervously.

 

Wolf sensed Nihl aboard the command vessel, he reached up to where his left ((not sure)) arm used to be, remembering how he had cut it off.

 

"I sense him too Cade, but now is not the time for revenge, we must get out of this blockade, then figure out where we should go next," he told Cade, putting his hand on Cade's shoulder.

((Ya sure, Mohunas? 'Cause I thought Cade in Issue #7...oh, I guess you're right. My bad. :D))

 

Lyna looked at the group, and bit her lower lip. She answered, "I know where we could go." Everyone looked at the young girl. She didn't like it when everyone stared at her, because she was shy.

 

But Lyna had to give them the info if they wanted to get out of here. "Maybe we could either go to Tatooine, or...Ossus, or..." Suddenly, she was interrupted by Cade.

"Ossus? You've got to be kidding me!" Cade said, outraged. "Do you have any Idea what the Sith did to the Jedi Academy there? Not to mention all the horrible memories of the Massacre..." Cade looked down to one side, thinking of his father, Kol Shywalker, when he was slain by Darth Nihl.

Cass turned her head, looking at her present traveling companion out of the corner of her eye. "What's that? Going?" She nodded and turned forward again. "Yes, we really ought to, hadn't we?"

 

She flicked a few switches in front of her; shields buzzed into action at the first flick and at the second, black armor plating emerged and settled into place, covering even the transparent cockpit bubble.

 

"Before you say anything," Cass said, her hands still on the controls, "yes, I realize we can't see out with the armor in place... damn near indestructable, though. Don't need lines of sight anyway..."

 

She pushed the throttle control fully forward and the little ship lunged ahead, throwing its passengers fully back into their seats. Cass grinned. "Got a little pep, don't she?"

 

Even without a line of sight, Cass had sensors telling her what was out beyond their little enclosed space. On top of that, she could 'feel' all of it. She knew exactly where all the ships in the blockade were... and she had 'spotted' a weakness, almost before they'd left the dying station. Now, with turbolaser blasts flying in every direction, she aimed for the weak spot.

 

"We'll get past them easy," she said with confidence. "Worry about where we're going after that..." she half turned to look back at the silent mercenary. "... unless you happen to have a desired location to be dropped off, that is."

 

With that said, she redirected her attention to getting away from the blockade. They were hit with several glancing blows, the fifth of which tore away the sheilds.

 

Shields down! the computer warned. Cass smiled. "Thanks for that," she said to the ship. "Think I noticed..."

 

But the black armor plating made the little ship rather difficult to see, which is the reason it managed to slip through the blockade. When they were a decent distance away, Cass slowed the little ship to a near-halt and turned it, disabling the shielding over the cockpit bubble.

 

"There's the end of the Wheel," she said softly. "And if that Skywalker didn't get out, I think I'll choose to be highly annoyed..." Shaking her head, she turned again to her companion.

 

"Ah," she said as if noticing his presence for the first time. She shrugged. "I don't think you ever answered my question. No, no, you didn't. Where was it you wanted to go?"

Wolf looked a Lyna as she tearfully fled from the cockpit. Wolf grunted at Cade, shook his head, and went after the poor, shy girl.

 

The trooper stood nervously in the cockpit with Cade and Shado, until he finally fled after Wolf.

 

Wolf found Lyna, he approached her silently, sitting near her, he kept quiet, allowing her to cry if she needed to, or talk if she wanted.

 

The trooper finally came upon them, halting at the sight of the crying girl and the jedi master he stayed out of immediate sight, sitting down against the wall, he hung his head, as he rested from the terrifying events of the day.

******

Slate didn't care whether the woman couldn't see or not, as long as they lived through the ordeal, he was fine. Beyond that, he didn't get scared easily, he almost seemed to relish the nice dark cockpit, in the surprisingly comfortable seat, relaxing as if he were on a cruise.

 

"I don't think you ever answered my question. No, no, you didn't. Where was it you wanted to go?" The strange woman asked him.

 

"Hm, there is nowhere that I wish to go, I must follow the group, with the, Skywalker, you know? Them," he told her, pointing out the cockpit to a ship evading fire, and trying to find an escape from the blockade.

 

"Where ever they g, I must go, so follow, that is the answer I will give you," he told he, leaning back in his seat, folding his arms, he looked out the viwport, to the dieing station.

 

"Good riddance," he muttered to himself, watching the station fall apart in a rain of laser fire, and round explosions on it's surface.

((MA, you mean Slate... not Cade ;) ))

 

"Why don't we give them a hand?" Cass said cheerfully. "The armor's solid as ever and the shields have recharged almost fully..."

 

The armor closed again over the cockpit bubble and the shields came active. Just as before, the sleek little 'fighter', if it could be called a fighter, drove forward, this time angling toward the ship Cade and his companions had taken. As they drew nearer, Cass flicked a switch, opening a com channel to the fleeing ship.

 

"Hello!" she called cheerfully. "You look like you could use a little help... a distraction for the blockade, perhaps?"

 

With the pressing of a button, tiny lights all around the outside of Cass' ship blinked on, shining brightly, lighting up the ship like a beacon on all sensors of the ships in the blockade. The intensity of the light continued to increase, blanking out the sensors of several nearby ships.

 

"Son of Skywalker, set your course exactly as I tell you," Cass ordered. "It'll get you through the blockade even if your sensors can't see anything of where you're going." She gave a course heading and spun her ship, dropping below Cade and his friends. "The blockade will have their sensors back in a matter of seconds. Go!"

Finally, Lyna wiped her tears and sniffed. "I should've stayed on The Wheel," she said to Wolf, sobbing. She added, "Then I could've never been with that jerk! All I wanted to do for him...was...help!" Lyna cried again. She felt that Wolf patted her on the shoulder gently.

 

Lyna smiled. "I guess my mother wanted me to learn about surviving on my own." She sniffed and laid her head on the back of the wall, looking up. "I haven't told you how I became a Jedi.... then a slave girl." Lyna sighed deeply.

 

Then, she began her story. "It all started when I was an eight month old child..."

 

"My adoptive mother found me in an abandoned house when she was on a mission. Coral, was her name. She took care of me and loved me so much.

My mother also made me her own Jedi apprentice, when she was honored as an official Jedi Master.

 

As I grew up, I became very skilled at fighting in combat with a lightsaber, and I also had a great connection in the Force. That's when my mother became ill of a terrible fever. She wanted to be one with the Force, and told me that I should always stay pure in the Force too. She gave me her lightsaber. The one I have here in my bag." Lyna sighed when tears came out of her sad eyes. She wiped them and sniffed.

 

Then continued silently. "Then a man named Bonty Zam took me in. He was a ringmaster of his circus called Crazy Bantha. He found me in the streets of Mos Eisely when I was fifteen. Years past, and I became his slave girl. I danced for audiences at his circus for credits. The worst part was that...I was shackled."

 

Lyna looked angry, and clenched her fist. "One night, he wasn't himself. He started to abuse me, which made me afraid. I couldn't take it no more. I slapped him on the head with a bottle he drunk from. Then grabbed my things and ran."

 

She turned to Wolf and spoke with pride. "I maybe shy and look like a dancer, but deep inside, I am a Jedi. I still have hold of the light side of the Force, and I still believe the galaxy can be saved from evil." Tears came out again, but she smiled.

 

"I didn't want to blow my cover at first, but I believe...that peace will be restored in the galaxy again. It just takes teamwork. I believe." Lyna started to cry.

Cade felt rather guilty for snapping at Lyna. But he seriously could not go back to Ossus, after what the Sith did to the Jedi Praxeum.

 

He was sitting in the cockpit, alone at the very moment as it was very likely the others were trying to cheer Lyna up. Except for the Assassin Droid, XG-91, who was currently shut down until repair. He wondered where they could go.

 

As he heard the early Transmission from that strange woman back at the Wheel, he did exactly as she told him too. Even though she was a complete stranger to Cade, she was a big help. They finally exited the blockade, and Cade looked back at the Station from view being destroyed.

 

"Maybe we could either go to Tatooine...

 

What could they possibly do at Tatooine. An interesting choice of destination, Cade thought to himself. Tatooine was a rough desert world with settlements filled with gangsters and the hutts.

Slate almost seemed to sleep as the strange woman helped Cade and the group through the blockade, acting as a decoy.

 

"I swear, if you kill us, I'm kicking your rear in the afterlife," he told her sarcastically, with a hint of humor, this time his tone was that of true sarcasm, though it would be hard to tell, considering his tone was almost always sarcastic sounding.

******

Wolf smiled at Lyna as she told her story, feeling her grow angry, sad, happy, and all kinds of other emotions, as she told it.

 

"Your mother is most certainly one with the force, the ringleader in the cirrcus got what was comig to him, and you certainly hold the qualities of a jedi," he told her fondly, agreeing with her story.

 

"I too believe the galaxy will come back to order, if only somehow the different sides in the galaxy could work together, to win against the New Sith Order, but that will not happen as long as there is some division in thoughts or ideals," he said.

 

Wolf sighed, looking at the still crying Lyna, he wiped a tear away. "That, jerk, was only acting the way he did, because of some bad...memories," he told her, smiling, he got up with a grunt.

 

"Remember Lyna, you are well and good in your wish to wield and use the lightside of the force properly, but even I can see you have not yet grown accustomed to it, let alone you're probably a bit rusty. I will be here to help guide you with your journey through the force, and if you need help, or training in something," he told her, stretching a bit, he started to move leave.

 

"Unless you need me further, I will be out in the hallway, with our passenger," he said, the stormtrooper peering around the corner into the room, though he wore a helmet, you could see he was confused and nervous.

"If I kill us," Cass answered calmly, "I'll kick your ass back to life from the afterlife and then drag myself out behind you."

 

As the ship holding Cade's group passed the blockade, the lights on the exterior of Cass' ship faded and the sensor range of the ships returned. Diving again out of sight and using the little ship's black armor as further disguise, Cass plunged past the blockade without any further hits. Then, she eased off the throttle, waiting for Cade and company to determine where they were heading.

 

"So, my mysterious passenger," Cass said, turning to face him. "Have you got a name?" She smiled to herself. "Of course you do. However, the question I really ought to be asking is this: are you willing to share knowledge of your name with me?"

"That made no sense at all," Slate muttered to himself, at the comment the woman made to his sarcastic jest.

 

"Have you got a name?" The lady asked, then she smiled to herself. "Of course you do. However, the question I really ought to be asking is this: are you willing to share knowledge of your name with me?"

 

"Q'nal, Slate Q'nal," he replied nonchalantly.

 

"Now may I ask the same question? What is your name?" He asked, yet his mind was thinking utterly different things, much more...lewd.

 

((Yeah, Slate has a dirty mind :lol: ...ok, dirty surface thoughts, in reality he's not that bad inside.))

Lyna smiled and looked down. "Thank you, Master Sazen," she whispered. Suddenly, something was moving under the covers near Lyna. A little animal peeked out. It was a binjiphant. Lyna gasped and smiled brightly. "Oh my gosh, you are so cute!"

 

She picked it up, and looked at it. The little binjiphant licked her nose. Lyna giggled and looked at it's eyes. "I'll call you...Cyan. Because of your eyes."

Lyna played with it for sometime, until she looked up. She saw Cade standing there, as if he was there the whole time. "Oh, it's you," Lyna muttered. "If Wolf sent you to apologize..." she began. But Cade shook his head.

"Nope! I came here on my own decision." Cade sat down next to Lyna, patting her pet... whatever it was.

 

"I'm sorry I lashed out at you. Its just that what happened to Ossus was unbearable. And it leaves an open wound in your mind forever."

 

((Again I apoligise for being a smartass, but try not to take control of other people's character SkywalkerRules. Instead, try to improvise. Like call out the characters name, or perhaps walk to that character.))

Mimicking Slate's nonchalant tone, Cass answered, "Cassss... sandra..." Then, she frowned. "Morgan. Yeah, that's right. Cassandra Morgan." She smiled again. "Most who know me call me Cass."

 

Then, her nose wrinkled. "I don't typically make a habit of scanning surface thoughts... but you've made it so damn easy." She looked back at him, her violet eyes displaying some mixture of understanding and disgust. "And the sort of thoughts you've got in there are the sort you'd want to keep hidden from a telepath. Work on that, will you?"

 

Without waiting for an answer, she turned to face forward again. "So, Slate Q'nal... you're a..." she paused, cocking her head as if listening. "... something for hire... or something like that, am I right?"

 

((MA, I imagine that there are people who are completely unfamiliar with the name Cassandra Morgan, but I think it's pretty well known amongst mercenaries at least... and a good deal more than just them. So I just have one question for you... does Slate recognize the name? And would Cass pick up on the fact that he knows of her? oh, guess that was two questions :p ))

Slate thought for a moment, Cassandra Morgan, her name was familiar to the mercenary world. But then again, any derranged woman could claim to be her.

 

"I don't typically make a habit of scanning surface thoughts... but you've made it so damn easy." She looked back at him, her violet eyes displaying some mixture of understanding and disgust.

 

Slate smiled to himself, his voice becoming very cold and smooth, "you don't seem dissapointed, no, almost...compliant, if not a little disturbed, hm?"

 

"And the sort of thoughts you've got in there are the sort you'd want to keep hidden from a telepath. Work on that, will you?" She asked him.

 

Slate wasn't surprised she was a telepath, his mind had already thought out several posibilities to her personality, mind set, attitude, and that had been one of the conclusions, though it was one of the ones he had put on the backburner.

 

"No, I don't think I will, I've gotta have something to occupy my time," he told her, his nonchalant attitude returning. "Besides, keeps you on your toes," he said in mock humor.

 

"So, Slate Q'nal... you're a..." she paused, cocking her head as if listening. "... something for hire... or something like that, am I right?"

 

"First off, I'm a man, a human male, not a thing, so unless you want me to prove it, please refer to me as a being, not a thing," he chastised. "Second, I'm a mercenary, like you, supposedly, are," he told her, his tone returning to normal.

 

He sat there in silence waiting for her response.

Admiral Yage gulped heavily to himself, as he watched the vessel they had been so desperately trying to destory expertly dodged their cannons and fighters, and explode off into hyperspace. He feared the retribution that Darth nihl would wreak upon him, but his fears were soon subsided by a beeping from the bridges main comm console.

 

A shaking finger pressed the button, and a huge image of an enraged Darth Krayt appeared before them.

 

"NIHL! I gave no order to destroy the station! Your arrogance has cost me my quarry, and endangered my pet!" Krayt Bellowed.

 

Nihl was clearly taken aback by his master's rage.

 

"My master, I only thought..."

 

"My beast had everything in his grasp, he would have slaughtered them all, your petty arrogance has cost me my victory today!" Hissed The Dread Lord.

 

"I will find them master. They will not escape me again, and they will all die."

 

"Yes, you will find them. Take the fleet under your command, and track them to the far corners of the galaxy, do not fail me again Darth Nihl, or you shall spend out the rest of your days in an active torture field." Krayt commanded before cutting his transmission.

 

Nihl was quick to turn his rage over his own impulsiveness upon his men.

 

"Admiral!" Nihl Snarled.

 

"Y-Yes Lord Nihl?"

 

"Deploy the fleet, send out probes, hunt them, find them, or your heads will roll."

 

The fleet began breaking into different directions, off to scour the far reaches of the universe, in an attempt to satisfy Darth nihl's insatiable bloodlust, and avoid the wrath of his enraged master.

((I am soooooo sorry! ^_^ Oh, man, I gotta make sure I be careful of the characters. I promise you, Mohunas, I'll be extra careful ;) ))

 

Lyna grinned at Cade. "Aww, that's okay, Cade. But It's my fault, really. I mean, I shoundn't had mentioned it anyway. It kind of held a bad memory for all the Jedi." The young woman looked at Cyan.

 

"This my new friend, Cyan. She's a binjiphant. I call her Cyan because of her bluish-green eyes." She rubbed the little binjiphant's neck gently. Cyan was half alsleep. Later, Lyna told Cade how she use to be a Jedi, then a slave girl.

Lyna laughed heartily. "Thanks Cade, for cheering me up." She looked down and smiled nervously. Lyna said to Cade, stroking Cyan's fur gently, "Ya know...you're a true friend. And you're like a brother to me. No one has ever been nice to me like this before. Except for my mom and you guys." Before she could said another word, Lyna saw something outside.

 

She got up, and walked to the view. Lyna squinted her blue eyes. "Cade, come look at this. There's a ship outside. I sense it's not the Sith...or Imperial..."

Inside the Lantean III command centre

Vaar walked out of the empty corridor and into the command center. He then walked to the sensors officer. "Report."

"Sir, we are detecting several unknown ships entering Area 4C," The Twi'lek officer replied as she stroked her left lek. Like most people on this station, she got nervous around Vaar due to his size, muscle and poistion.

"Dispatch two Pirate Inceptors and three fighter squadron," Vaar replied "Where did they just come from?"

The officer began searching her records "The computer estimates that they left the Wheel. This is strange, it seems alot of people have been leaving from the Wheel."

"The Wheel has been destroyed," Vaar told her "Tell the Inceptors to use Ion weapons only! I want to know what happened to the Wheel."
