Star Wars: The Lost Son

[Darth Randus]

Darth Saaron heard his mother through the force and then closed his eyes in heavy concentration. He used the force to launch a shuttle and positioned it to dock with their ship. After a few minutes, the shuttle docked with Sarela's ship. Once docked, only the airlock to the Phoenix opened. Darth Saaron used the force to keep the airlock sealed on the shuttle until Sarlea was in the airlock and he could seal Phoenix's airlock.

[Aurora Starfire]

Sarela boarded the shuttle, and once the airlock closed, she went to the cockpit. Carefully, she disconnected from the Phoenix and guided the shuttle away from it, slowly moving in the direction of her son's Force presence.

[Darth Randus]

Darth Saaorn felt his mother approaching him and when she was in range, he activated his ship's tractor beam. Through the force, he coldly told his apprentice, ::There is a shuttle arriving, go and greet our guest and bring her here. If you harm her in any way, my apprentice, you will be wishing that you were that Dark Jedi you can still hear screaming in agony.::

[Aurora Starfire]

::Y-yes, master,:: Darth Maera said, uncertainly, and headed for the docking bay. She wasn't sure who was coming, or why she was so important, but it was clear that she meant something to Darth Saaron. She couldn't imagine why Darth Saaron would threaten her not to hurt the person, unless....

 

"You." Darth Maera hissed as Sarela stepped off the shuttle. She glared at the older woman, and forced herself to remember her master's orders. "Follow me," she said coldly, and turned on her heel to lead Sarela to Darth Saaron. "Master," she said briefly, and stood waiting for further orders.

[Darth Randus]

Darth Saaron got up and smiled at the little girl, then turned around to his mother, not sure if he should embrace her. "Mother, I- its good to see you again. This is the family I told you about." He said indicating the family on his couch, the ring on his finger shining in dim light.

[Aurora Starfire]

Sarela embraced her son, tenderly. "Ben. It's been too long."

 

Darth Maera stared at them both, stonily. She didn't say anything, but inside, she was seething. She felt that after what she had said earlier, Sarela had no right to even be in Darth Saaron's presence. She knew what her master had said, but, for the first time, she was conflicted in obeying him. She could sense, though, that he was happy to see his mother, and so she tried to keep her rage under control. After what seemed an interminable struggle, she calmed herself enough to face him again, expressionless.

[SkywalkerRules]

Tanya looked at Darth Saaron and his mother. It was nice to see someone who loved him. Even if he was a Sith. Instead of taking Darth Saaron's hand, the little girl got up, ran to him, and hugged him. Madi was shocked. But Zano held his wife back, comforting her.

 

The little girl looked up at Darth Saaron, and smiled, showing her little teeth. She was so happy that she could learn the ways of the Force. "Thank you, mister! Even if you are a Sith... you're the nicest one I met!" She said, in a sweet voice. Tanya glanced at her Ewok teddy bear. "Oh. And this is my friend, Dan! He's says you're nice too."

[CSI]

"Scumbags, huh?" CSI smiled, "That's the most polite word I've heard from a Sith. Anyway, I need to pay a visit to the Kuat System--I think I placed an order, about 10 years ago, and I nearly forgot about it during my exile."

 

"What's it, then?" Vergil narrowed his eyes.

 

"I don't have enough money to order an Eclipse, so I ordered an Executor instead."

 

"What? An Executor?" Vergil stared at CSI, confused, "What's that?"

 

"A Super Star Destroyer, my friend, just like the Eclipse, but not that big." CSI explained.

 

"Ah...So you going to Kuat System and just drive a huge ship back to Coruscant?" Vergil narrowed his eyes even further.

 

CSI nodded.

 

"No, that's not possible..." Vergil stammered.

 

"Well, let's make it possible--besides, we're gonna haul that ship over here and begin crew transferring--by transfering, I mean to dock this Jedi Phoenix in." CSI paused for a while, "Arion! Can I borrow the Jedi Fighter in your Cargo Hold?"

[Aurora Starfire]

Arion thumbed on the comm. "Yes, you can borrow it, but be careful not to overstep the bounds that Sarela mentioned." He leaned back in the pilot's seat, wondering if she was alright.

[CSI]

"Okay. No problem. I'll catch you folks later." CSI walked into the cargo hold, flew the Jedi Starfighter out, and it flashed into the hyperspace.

 

----

 

After a while, Vergil murmured: "I have a bad feeling about this."

[Aurora Starfire]

Arion walked into the main hold. "You have a bad feeling about what?" he asked Vergil, as he pulled off his helmet.

[CSI]

"Well..." Vergil's sound broke up when he glanced at the window. Another huge ship just came out of hyperdrive, "That."

 

That was a Executor-Class Star Dreadnought.

 

"Now *we* are in trouble." Vergil murmured.

[Aurora Starfire]

Arion stared at the Star Destroyer. "Uh oh. Who's that?" He headed for the cockpit and fired up the controls. Switching on the comm, he signaled the Star Destroyer. "Er... unidentified Star Destroyer, this is Jedi Phoenix. May I inquire as to your purpose here?"

[CSI]

"Jedi Phoenix, this is Super Star Destroyer Arbiter. And we'll haul your vessel into Docking Bay 224. Stand by." The intercom beeped, "And the commander would meet you personally."

 

Vergil shrugged: "Guess we have to meet the 'mysterous' commander."

[Aurora Starfire]

"Affirmative, Arbiter. Standing by." Arion thumbed off the comm. "We're being pulled in by a tractor beam," he told Vergil. He wondered who this 'commander' was, and why he wanted to talk to them. The Phoenix was drawn into the Arbiter, and landed in the hangar bay. Now what? Arion wondered to himself.

[CSI]

The hangar door slowly opened, and reveals a figure.

 

"Hello, my friend. Welcome to my ship. Sorry if I don't have a welcoming committee." Then the figure made a bow to the ship, "Will you step down, my friend?" The figure said sincerely.

[Aurora Starfire]

Arion lowered the exit ramp, and called to Vergil, "I'll be there in a sec, you go ahead." He finished closing down the Phoenix's controls, and stepped out to see who the commander was.

[Darth Randus]

Darth Saaron gave into the embrace with his mother and felt his apprentice's internal conflict. He smiled wickedly at her and said through the force, ::Careful, my apprentice. Wouldn't want any... accidents now would we.::

 

As Darth Saaron laid his head down on his mother's sholder, he felt someone else hugging him and looked down. He saw the little girl smiling up at him and he smiled back. "Dan eh? Well I can sense that your name is Tanya. Tanya, this is my mother. She is going to look after your family until everything is safe again, while she is looking after you, she will begin to train you in the ways of the force."

 

Then Darth Saaron looked back to his mother and said "Mom... I love you, how will you ever forgive me once I... have finished."

[Aurora Starfire]

Sarela looked at him, love and concern in her eyes. "It's not so much whether I can forgive you, but whether you can forgive yourself. What.... what are you going to do?"

 

Darth Maera watched them, a new conflict of feelings welling inside her. She wasn't at all sure what her master intended, or how she felt about his actions and words.

Alex was onboard his ship The Fox - Waiting for a reply to his enquiry..

 

The Ship You Seek Is Located 3 hours and 20 minutes away from our present location. Our speed is: Hyperspeed.

 

Thank you denise.

 

Enquiry Not Recognized

 

 

Alex, after hearing he was finally on course for the ship he seeked, went to his small cargo bay, and turned on multiple sensor droids to prepare for a long and hard battle.

 

* * *

 

ARRIVING AT DESTINATION is what he could hear over the computer's loudspeaker. So he returned to the bridge.

 

"Dang it! I can't feel his prescence in the system!"

 

"Wait.. I feel another prescence, similar to Darth Kelion - only... stronger, and much more hate"

 

Alex got ready, making sure to hide his Indigo lightsaber on his self, but not shown, as to avoid losing it. He boarded the sith's ship, making sure to hide his prescence and his ship's prescence, to be able to assasinate the Dark Lord that resided on the ship.

 

It was difficult to hide his prescence, there were many force users and sensitives on board... Alexcrinked his neck and cracked his fingers... hiding every ounce of his being, and purposely leaking information; he liked the thrill of the hunt, though it could have been his undoing.

 

He stalked on the ship, any guard; was quickly eliminated.. but so far they were nothing but pety foot soldiers

 

"The real trouble is yet to come, I sense... something different" he thought as he slowly creeped towards the dark lords prescence.

[Aurora Starfire]

Darth Maera frowned. She sensed.... something hunting. She felt soldiers' lives suddenly ended, and she followed the trail of dead, finding that it followed a purposeful path..... towards them. At once she reached out to her master and Sarela. ::Master, forgive me for interrupting you, but there is a..... hostile..... on board. I can't get a good enough sense of him to determine his exact nature or purpose::

[SkywalkerRules]

Tanya smiled. She was so excited to hear that Darth Saaron's mother was going to train her in the ways of the Force. She waved to Sarela. "Hello. It's nice to meet you. That's my mommy and daddy!" Zano and Madi got up and bowed. "I'm Zano Field. And this is my wife, Madi."

 

Tanya turned to Darth Saaron. "And thank you, sir. I can't wait to learn the Force!" She ran back to her parents, hugging them, along with Dan. Madi and Zano smiled down at their little girl. They knew that they would have faith in her in becoming a Jedi. "We thank you, again," Zano said to Darth Saaron, smiling.

[Darth Randus]

Darth Saaron felt a disturbance in the force and then heard his apprentice. ::I felt it as well.:: He turned to look at his mother, ::Mom, you have got to get them to a safe place. I... I am being hunted, why I don't know. Please, there is not much time. I do not know if they are hunting you as well. If they are, it would not be safe to use the corridors. Behind that panel:: he pointed to a bulkhead pannel to his left, near Darth Marra, ::Is a emergency access tunnel. Its crampt, but it will get you inside the hanger, and to a ship. Feel free to take any of the ships that are docked, but keep this family safe. Find me when this is over or help me when you get a chance. I love you, mom, I always will.::

 

After addressing his mother, he knelt down to Tanya and said, "My ship is no longer safe, young one. Go with my mother, she will protect your family from now on, until I am able to train you in the force." He took out something that he had always kept in his pocket, something that his grandmother gave him when he was young, a good luck charm. He took a small chain that he had in his pocked and slipped it through the charm, making it a necklace, and infused it with his force signature. As he gently put the necklace on Tanya, he told her, "This is a good luck charm that my grandmother once gave me. Always keep it with you, it will bring you good fortune. I have also enfused my force signature in it so you can always know where I am and be able to find me if you need to. We will see each other again, young one." He looked up to her parents and also his mother, "Go. Please, go. Get to somewhere safe." He wispered, a tear falling down his cheek, his emotions becomming unstable.

[SkywalkerRules]

((Oh, that's okay, Randus.))

 

Tanya looked up at Darth Saaron, and started to cry. She hugged him again. "I'll keep it safe, sir. And I promise that I'll find you again... one day." Zano held on to his wife, and looked at Tanya, with sadness in his eyes. He turned to Sarela, and nodded sadly. "We're ready when you are."

 

Madi looked at Darth Saaron. "We... we're glad that we met you, milord. You have been kind to us. And we thank you." Tanya pulled out her little purple bracelet, and placed it on Darth Saaron's wrist. "This is for you, so that you can remember me too."

 

She began to cry again, and hugged Darth Saaron once more. "I love you... big brother."

[Darth Randus]

Darth Saaron felt Tanya put the bracelet on his rist and looked at it for a second and looked back at Tanya. As she began to cry he returned her hug and getly patted her on her back. "I know that this is going to be hard, and please, call me by my real name. Its Ben Flameshadow; only 8 people in the galaxy know it right now, most of which are standing in this room." He paused, and when she began to cry again he returned her hug once again, trying to comfort her. Hearing her call him her... big brother touched his heart, he was adopted by this little girl. He lost control of his emotions and gently placed his head on her sholder, beginning to cry. He used the force to reach out to Tanya's mind and said, ::I- I love you too... little sister.:: He paused and then continued, ::Before you leave, my mother will teach you how to communicate to me through the force, so that whenever you are feeling lonely you can talk to me from anywhere in the galaxy... I- I am going to miss you so much, Tanya.::
