Heart of the Legacy

[SkywalkerRules]

((Oh, that's okay, PK. There's always next time. ))

 

Lyna started to cry. "Cade! Wait!" Rock glared as Cade dashed off.

 

"Forget him! He's gone crazy!"

 

The young woman turned to Rock. "Rock, you don't understand! He's my friend! He's always been there for me... now I have to do the same! The Dark Side is taking over him. Go back home while you still can, Rock!" Lyna kissed him on the cheek.

 

Rock did the same. "Don't forget me."

 

"I won't." She turned to Ganner.

 

"Ganner, stay here with Lemia and the others! I'll go find Cade." And with that, Lyna forced jumped on the ceiling, and went after Cade. She tightened her lightsaber on her utility belt.

 

A few minutes later, she spotted him. "Cade! Stop! Please!!"

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Lemia came out with Cyan. She turned to Ganner when Rock left in his speeder bike. "Ganner? What's going on? I heard Toz crying... and then I heard noises out here."

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Bonty scratched his head. "Well... the plan goes like this... Rock, Lyna's old boyfriend, is working for me to get Lyna. If Lyna gets really depressed... she'll come crying to Rock, and the boy will bring her here in surprise. Then when I explain that I'll help her... she'll join the circus.

 

My henchmen already put up posters for the circus, so everyone's gonna come! And if I see Skywalker in the audience, my circus crew will lock every door of the circus, so there's no escape. Ha! Brilliant, huh?"

 

Boy, Zam had everything planned out.

 

Suddenly, the angry Rock bursted through the slide door. "We gotta situation, Zam..."

[DrPhil2501]

Regardless of his overwhelming hatred and anger, his ears suddenly pulled back like a kath hound as he heard Lyna's voice.

 

"Damn! That girl is fast at catching up with me..." he thought.

 

He jumped further into the distance and landed atop of an unusually large building.

 

On one side, he could see the city of stone buildings and huts. The night was illuminated by the artificial light made by open buildings and speeder. He looked at the opposite direction to see the Mos Espa Pod Racing Arena, and the desert in the long distance.

 

He turned to face his persuer.

 

"Jeese! You don't have to yell so loud for everybody to hear! We're telepathically linked, remember?"

 

He eyes glared at the girl whom he thought was smarter than to trust Rock after what he did to her.

 

"What do you want? Can't you see I am clearly pissed off and need to cool down?"

[SkywalkerRules]

Tears fell from Lyna's eyes, as she looked at Cade from the opposite stone building. The lower part of her eyes were covered with black smears mixed with tears.

 

"Cade... I'm sorry for hurting you. I truly am. But Rock's changed now. Somewhere he has! But if he's hiding something from me... I won't see him again. I promise!"

 

She glanced down, and wiped a tear. Then she looked back up at the angry Cade.

 

"The Dark Side is getting strong in you! You gotta fight it, before it's too late!"

[Jedi Atomic]

Ganner turned around as Rock took off. He looked at Lemia and Cyan. "Well Rock and Lyna went out tonight and Cade and I got worried. Now Cade is all mad and ran off and Lyna is chasing him."

[DrPhil2501]

"Why should I?" Cade snapped. "Jedi always view the dark side as some kind of disease! A plague! They miss the point where it can be used for good!"

 

Cade refused to look up at the usual face of tears.

 

"Thats why I intend to use its power to destroy the sith. I will hunt down every minion of Krayt's, weakest-to-strongest, until the master is all thats left!"

 

He pointed his index finger at the girl.

 

"Not you, Ganner or ANYONE will stop me!"

[SkywalkerRules]

Lyna kept looking at Cade. His anger, revenge, and hatred was getting strong in him. She took the blame for all of this.

 

"This is all my fault! I shouldn't had went out with Rock without telling you first. But listen to me, Cade. Just hear me out!"

 

The black makeup on her lower part of the eyes were going down to her cheeks, as she cried. To Lyna, she looked like a crying goth girl.

 

"We can help you! I can help you! Remember when you said that you'd never hurt or kill me? Not betray me and fall to the Dark Side? You're better than that! Please. I can help you."

 

Lyna knelt down, as if begging. "Please."

 

----------------------------------------------------------------

 

Lemia gasped. "Oh my gosh! I hope that they be all right. I also hope that nothing happens to Lyna."

 

She sighed. "Come inside, Ganner. At this time of night, there's crazy people out there..."

 

----------------------------------------------------------------

 

Without being seen, Cyan went back inside the house to check up on baby Toz. When she saw him snuggled in his crib, Cyan was relieved. She hoped that nothing bad happened to Lyna. She had to be there for her master.

 

So the only thing she did was to sneak out and find them.

 

Jumping from the window on another building, without being seen, Cyan used her powerful sniffing abilities to find Cade and Lyna. Then she ran off into the night.

[DrPhil2501]

"Its not your fault for something I have come to realise. Besides, it was Rock that taught me to give in to the Dark Side. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have realised my true potential in the force. That I must thank..."

 

He turned his back on Lyna.

 

"However, do not mistake this as me being greatful to Rock. I know people like him. And believe me, it can be very hard for them to change. For your sakes, I hope you're right about him..."

 

While he had his back facing Lyna, he turned his face so his eyes met hers.

 

"I have turned to the dark side before, and even became one with the sith. Krayt had even shared some his life story to me. He had even honoured my father by encasing his Lightsaber. I was really greatfull for what he did. But I only abandoned the Sith Order because I came to realise the they have gone too far..."

 

"Thats why I am leaving. I have to make the Sith extinct so this war will end. This is something you must understand..."

 

((If you want Cade to remain with the group, press 1. If you want Cade to turn to the dark side, but remain with the group, press 2. If you want Cade to abandon the group while he is turning to the dark side, press 3. ))

[Empress Padme]

(OCC: * presses 2 *))

 

" Do you really believe that?" Tia asked." My father believed that too, then became a powerful but destructive Sith Lord. He thought he was saving the galaxy but in the end the dark side consumed him.Had he not shut loved ones out...."

[SkywalkerRules]

((Hmm... *presses 2 also.* ))

 

Before Lyna could say another word to Cade, she heard another's voice. She turned. It was Tia's.

 

"Tia. You're right. Loved ones shouldn't be shut out. And I'm so sorry about your father. I truly am."

 

Lyna turned back to Cade, but talked in her normal voice. "Cade... I understand the hurt in you. But..." She really wanted to tell her feelings towards him. Lyna stood up, but glanced down.

 

"I dunno. We need you. And we all care about you, no matter who you are."

[Empress Padme]

" Basically your not getting rid of us that easily....unless you kill younglings. Don't kill younglings. Never understood that because their still young and you could brainwash them into becoming a Sith." Tia said.

 

"Tia...nevermind." Keira shook her head over what Tia had just said.

[DrPhil2501]

((m'kay...))

 

Cade had looked dumb-founded when he saw Tia.

 

"How the hell was she able to listen in to the telepathic conversation?" Cade thought to himself. "This woman is full of suprises. First she knows my name, and now this. Interesting..."

 

He sighed, and turned around to face the two. "I'm not getting out of this easilly... even if I choose to abandon the group, they are just gonna follow me, which will become annoying."

 

"Alright! I'll play along for now." he said as he gave a small smirk. "But none of you will get in my way of my quest of annihlitating the Sith, which was our mission in the first place, I gather. Thats my only request, if I tag along with you guys..."

[SkywalkerRules]

((I got an idea. When Cade's on the Dark Side, and he gets really angry, should Lyna be able to tell her feelings towards him then? I dunno, Just a thought...))

 

Lyna glanced down, sadly. "All right, Cade. If that's what you want... fine."

 

Sudddenly, she heard squeaking from the distance. And when it got closer, Lyna turned to her side. It was Cyan.

 

"Cyan! What are you doing here, girl?" She picked up the little binjinphant, and cuddled it in her arms.

 

Lyna looked at Cade and Tia again. "Okay. Settled then. Now can we go back to Lemia's house? I'm freezing out here."

[DrPhil2501]

((If I were you, I'd probably do it after we do our thing with Bonty Zam. But otherwise, its your choice.))

 

"Whatever..." Cade rolled his eyes, then he started jumping row-after-row of buildings, straight back towards Lemia's house. "I need a drink after this..."

 

________________________________

 

Nihl narrowed his eyes at the holographic projection of Zam. Then glared at the man who had just bursted in to their conversation. From the look on the man's face, it was clear there was a problem...

 

"I will let you deal with the situation, Zam. Meanwhile, I will gather some of my accomplices so we can obtain Skywalker and his companions. Zam, do this without any mistakes, and I will see a position for you amongst the Empire..."

 

Nihl deactivated the hologram projector and walked away..."

[SkywalkerRules]

(( That's a great idea, PK. ))

 

Zam turned around to Nihl when he said "a postion for him amongst the Empire". Too exciting! He felt like his life was going to become successful.

 

He looked at Rock. "What's going on, boy?"

 

Rock glanced down. "Um... Skywalker's gone on a rampage and... sorta left without signs. But the good news is that Lyna's catching him."

 

Bonty glared at the young man. "Rock... if they return to their house, give them this flier." He handed Rock the Crazy Bantha circus flier. "Only show it to Cade. Not Lyna. Say like... 'I apologize', and stuff to him. We clear?"

 

Rock nodded. "Yeah. Sure." The young man went to his speeder and drove back to Lemia's house, sadly.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------

 

When Lyna and the others reached to the female Togruta's house, Lemia came out and became relieved. "Oh, thank goodness you're all here!" She ran to Lyna and hugged her.

 

"Come inside, hurry! If you guys are thirsty, help yourselves." The group went inside from the cool air of Mos Espa.

[Jedi Atomic]

The group came inside as Ganner had already been warm and was getting a little too warm. He waited a few minutes then stood up. "I'm going to get fresh air and cool down a bit, before I come back in." He hoped somebody would get up and come outside with him but they all looked cold and were warming up, he thought. He closed the door and noticed a speeder in the distance coming towards the house. He ran around the corner of the house and watched the speeder.

 

Once close enough he examined the driver. "Rock! What's he coming back here for?" He noticed him stop, He waited for him to get off and a few steps away from escaping on the speeder.

 

(Not going to kill him. Ganner doesn't really even have much of a problem with Rock. Not knowing he's working with Bonty Zam.)

[Empress Padme]

As Tia sat down for a drink she was being watched from afar by a cloaked being.

 

" Something's off I can feel it.I just can't put my finger on it." Tia said.

[SkywalkerRules]

Rock nervously came off of the speeder bike, and walked towards Ganner, having the flier in his pocket of the jacket.

 

"Um... hello. I have to talk with..." Rock gulped. "Cade."

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Lyna wasn't feeling up to talking to anyone, after what she did to Cade. Suddenly, she heard voices outside.

 

The young woman got up, and went outside. There she could see Ganner and... Rock. "Rock? What are you doing here?"

 

"Lyna. Uh... I have to speak with Cade. He came back?"

 

The young woman shook her head. "No, not yet. Come in the living room." When Lyna took Rock in, they both sat down on the couch of the living room. Lyna could see that Rock was sweating hard.

 

"Rock? Are you okay?" The young man turned to her.

 

"Huh? Yeah, yeah! I'm fine, thanks."

 

Rock was waiting to confront the feared Cade Skywalker.

[DrPhil2501]

Cade walked back from the cantina and back to the house. He saw Ganner standing by the front door.

 

"Hey man..." he greeted, and entered through the front door. Then he sensed something wasn't right... there was atleast an extra person in thr house. He rolled his eyes and sighed.

 

"Rock..." he said silently. He was gonna try and be on his best behhaviour this time round, unless Rock wanted to pick a fight... which Cade was half-hoping.

 

He silently krept into the living room, where he saw the couch facing its back to Cade. And he saw two figures sitting on it: Cade and Lyna.

 

He silently walked across the floor towards Rock, licked his index finger and stuck it in the guy's ear.

 

"Mmmmyes? Is there something you want?"

[SkywalkerRules]

Rock jumped when Cade placed his finger in Rock's ear. "Yeew! Dude, gross!!"

He wiped his ear angrily.

 

"Cade! Rock wants to tell you something." She turned to the young man. "Now don't you worry, Rock. I'll be out in the kitchen with Lemia."

 

Rock grew shocked. "Uh... can't you stay here with me? 'Cause I don't wanna be left alone with this crazy guy!"

 

Lyna smiled, and placed a gentle hand on Rock's hand. "Everything's gonna be fine. I'll leave you two alone now." And with that, Lyna closed the door, going to the kitchen. Cyan went along with her.

 

Rock slowly looked back at Cade, sweating. "Please don't hurt me..."

[Jedi Atomic]

Ganner walked in after Cade and followed him to the living room. He watched behind the couch as Cade poked Rock's ear. He shook his head, then stepped into the light of the room. "He won't hurt you Rock, right Cade?" He said as he looked at Cade.

[DrPhil2501]

"Oooh... but its tempting, Ganner..." he replied. "While I was at the cantina I was fantisising about what I would like to do to you, Rock..."

 

He paced around the room, a smirk spread across Cade's face. "Heh... he thinks I'm like that Zabrak guy! This is amusing..."

 

"Public Humiliation... Chasing you through the Dune Sea on your Speeder Bike... and there is of coarse the possibility of Castration... I can't seem to decide..."

 

He walked closer to Rock. "But don't worry, there is somebody out there who is far worse than me and would be proud to do either of those things..."

 

He pulled up a seat. "Whats up, chump?"

[SkywalkerRules]

Rock wiped the sweat from his forehead. The thought of Cade torturing him was all too scary for Rock. Sure, he was a Skywalker... but he heard about the things Cade did.

 

He sat back down on the couch, and pulled out a flier. "I uh... I wanted to give you this." He handed Cade the flier of the Crazy Bantha Circus. "This is an offer. No trick. I found it on the ground while I was at the nightclub."

 

Rock gulped, as he looked at Cade. Good thing that Ganner guy was there. He looked like he wouldn't hurt a fly.

 

He looked down. "I also want to apologize about that incident. I... wasn't thinking."

 

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

As Cyan played with Toz on the kitchen floor, Lemia and Lyna were sitting at the table, watching the little binjinphant and baby Togruta play.

 

"He's really strong with the Force, Lemia. You should be proud." Lyna said.

 

Lemia smiled faintly. "Yes. He takes it from his father."

 

Lyna looked at her old friend. "Trey was a Jedi?" Lemia nodded. "Oh yes. Handsome... strong... and kind. Oh, I wish he were here still." She tried to hold back the tears.

 

Seeing her friend cry made Lyna want to cry too. She hugged the female Togruta. "Don't worry, Lemia. If you like... I'll train him as a Jedi. It would be good."

 

Lemia glanced at Lyna, and smiled. "Thank you. I want him to carry on the legacy of his father's name. The Lee family."

 

The two women continued to watch Cyan and Toz play together.

[Empress Padme]

" I get this strange feeling we are being watched." Tia said and looked around." But I can't figure out who."

[SkywalkerRules]

Lyna glanced at Tia, confused.

 

"Really? I don't sense anythi--" Suddenly, she felt a disturbance in the Force. Lyna squinted her eyes.

 

"Maybe I should go check it out." The young woman went to her room, and looked outside. The moons lit the sky and the stars gleamed brightly. But she couldn't figure out what the disturbance was.

 

Lyna glared, as Cyan went by her master's side. "It's got something to do with the scums around here... I think."

[Jedi Atomic]

"Looks fun.... but why bring it to us? You were once again at a party picked up a piece of paper brought yourself all the trouble of bringing this little piece of paper all the way to us, just because you found it on the ground. So what do you want us to go to that circus or something...........to fall for a trick?" Ganner squinted his eye. He had never thought of anything like that that fast before. He had shocked himself before but not anything that made him speechless.
