Chapter 33: The Rabbit

With one breath, with one flow

You will know

Synchronicity

 

Synchronicity I - The Police

 

The three eventually made it to the Jundland Wastes. The high cover allowed for easy sniping and trapping. But Banthas would stand out. Raider quickly slid off the bantha he was on. The other two did the same.

 

Gru quickly checked the ground. Deep furrowed footprints were etched in the hard dirt.

 

"Raider. Scout ahead." Raider nodded taking his Cycler out. He quickly walked down a large path.

 

The large cavern of the Jundland Wastes was a great vantage point. Raider quickly crouched down and aimed with his Cycler. He looked at the sun and determined the time of day. Then continued aiming. Suddenly he saw movement.

 

Something about raiding was that even the slightest movement could mean either prey or loss. Raider knew that many offworlders would go through the Jundland Wastes. Apparently establishing a trading outpost just beyond it. He slowly adjusted his scope and saw someone. It was a green Twi'lek. Raider quickly aimed for the alien's head and fired. However it missed by a few inches. The offworlder was instantly alerted. Raider quickly aimed again and fired missing again. Raider moved in closer covering by a large rock formation.

 

"Did you hear that? I think some Sand Beast tried to hit me." The Twi'lek said in accented Basic. Raider quickly dived to the side and fired upon the Twi'lek. However he didn't get a clear headshot. He noticed his human friend right beside him. Raider quickly dropped his Cycler and in an instant took out his Gaffi stick. He quickly charged into the human with his Gaffi. Killing him instantly.

 

Raider issued a very loud Sand Person roar. He heard even small animals rush away at it. Raider quickly grabbed the Twi'lek by the head tails and dragged him and picking up his Cycler.

 

"Hey Beast let go of me." The Twi'lek screamed at him. He had a dark gash wound in his leg. Raider dragged the Twi'lek towards where Gru and Asheek were.

 

"I have an offworlder here." Gru nodded. Raider quickly tied the Twi''lek up and onto the Bantha

 

Several hours later

 

Raider walked out of his tent. The Twi'lek was deeply bloody. Raider once again cleaned his knife.

 

"You finished Raider?" Another Sand Person asked. Raider nodded. He saw that nightfall was fast approaching. But he desired a story and sleep.

 

Raider walked to the middle of the camp. This was where all 30 Sand People belonging to the clan would converge at night. Depending on who was raiding. Raider sat next to Shaleena. The clan story teller Ear'wig'nug was sitting nearest the fire. Raider helped Wig 1 year earlier memorize some of his stories when he was an apprentice. He desperately needed help and Raider was there to help.

 

"So then our clan eventually killed all the offworlders and ended the feud." Wig said finally. Then he noticed Raider was there.

 

"Raider. Now there is someone." Raider looked slightly surprised at his growling. Raider stood up and walked over to him

 

"So Raider what stories about the clan do you like the most?" Raider shrugged slightly

 

"I don't know. The story about the legendary Raider?" Wig nodded

 

"Raider was a Sand Person of old. He existed some thousands of years ago when we all had large cities spanning the planet. He was famous for being an efficient killer who was very young at the time. He was raised at a very early age. Even before his adulthood ceremony he was known to have killed many of the first Offworlders." Raider heard many cheers from the smaller uli-ah.

 

"When Raider eventually was in his late teens he managed what no Sand Person before him ever did. He killed a giant Krayt dragon with nothing but his Gaffi stick. Receiving the stone inside and fashioning the clan shrine." The clan shrine was at the northern side of the camp. It was a very large tombstone with a yellow Krayt Dragon pearl on it.

 

"No one knows when the legendary Raider died. Eventually large offworlders came and drove many of our kind into hiding. Raider was one who decided to fight the enemy on their terms. He left the planet to do fighting with them promising to return." Raider knew this was the end of the story. "Now Raider you must be honored to be blessed with such a warriors name." Raider nodded vigorously. He heard this story for the first time from the clan story teller before Wig. He was largely impressed with what ancient Raider did.

 

Wig told a few other stories. Mostly ones Raider wasn't all to familiar with. Then eventually he got up and walked to his tent. Wanting to sleep on what kills he had. Raider quickly took off his Cycler harness and rested his Gaffi stick on a tent wall. He slowly fell to the ground and fell asleep instantly

 

Raider's dreams were never pleasant. Most of them involved a strange masked figure with a sword of blue light. Others featured a large triangular prism hovering above the ground. There was a giant bright light at the top of it. There were also the classic nightmares of himself fighting a large golem-like demon and getting crushed.

 

This nightmare was different. He could see Tatooine from space. But to his knowledge Raider had never left the planet. It felt good to see Tatooine from a distance. Suddenly he saw a white light and a large building he didn't recognise. Then Raider woke up.

 

When Raider woke up it was still dark. He saw Shaleena outside near his tent. He walked up to her.

 

"What are you doing awake? I thought the females didn't awake until sunrise." Shaleena didn't respond.

 

"I couldn't sleep." Raider slouched slightly. Then quickly took his Gaffi stick and Cycler harness.

 

"Raider are you going raiding again?" Raider nodded. Raiding was the only thing he liked to do. It was what he was good at. He only liked blasting offworlders with his Cycler. He quickly took his Cycler out and reloaded the blaster pack.

 

"I plan on going near the offworlder encampment. I may be able to raid some of the offworlders inside.

 

Shaleena looked very unbelieving. "No Sand person has ever made it inside there and out alive. You are very foolish." Raider shrugged. He liked to take risks especially with his life.

 

Many other males were up as well near the middle fire. Telling stories about their latest hunts or their biggest raids. Raider past them. Most of them were beckoning him to come join them.

 

"Come on Raider. We know you tortured two offworlders yesterday." Raider shook his head and continued walking towards the gate.

[Rev7]

Okay, I am just a little bit confused.

What happened to Jaden? Is 'Jaden' one of these Tuskens? If not what happened to him? Is he one of these offworld prisoners? I am just a little bit confused.

Nevertheless, good job, and keep on writing!

[DeadYorick]

Rev7: Act 3 has been something I have wanted to get to since I started writing this fanfiction. By the next chapter you will understand what will happen to Jaden. But you will have other questions that won't be solved until much later. I purposely made it vague at the beginning of Act 3 for a reason

 

Also you do know that Act 3 takes place 2 years after chapter 30 right? It was in Chapter 31st. It is very important

 

Chapter 34: Thorns in my side

 

Oh My God, It's A Mirage

I'm Tellin' Y'all It's a Sabotage

 

Sabotage - Beastie Boys

 

Raider's bantha charged towards Anchorhead. Sand People did venture to the Offworlder settlement every so often to steal supplies. Raider never really did anything like this. He felt compelling Deja Vu whenever he did.

 

Raider quickly tied his bantha up near a dune. Taking out his Cycler he lied down on the sand. Looking through his scope at Anchorhead. Waiting for a target to raid

 

~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Tatooine orbit. 5 days 12 hours+ to the incident

 

A dark cloaked ship flew towards the light planet of Tatooine. A bustling crew was on board.

 

"Sir. Are you sure he's here?" One crew member asked the captian. The Captian nodded sharply.

 

"Yes." He moved over to a console and checked it. He quickly looked over. Then he finally zeroed in on his last known area.

 

"Here it is." He said pointing to the monitor. What he pointed to was a map of the Sand People camp.

 

"Send the Huntress there. I want him taken alive." The crew member nodded

 

~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~

 

Raider quickly saw 3 mercenaries coming out of the Outworlder settlement. He quickly noticed one of them was wielding a long sword. Raider never saw swords that werent either smashed vibroblades or rusted gaffi sticks. He quickly fired upon the mercenary downing him instantly. Raider rushed to the mercenaries. Noticing they were wielding blaster carbines. Raider normally took a few shots on a daily basis. But blaster carbines were to powerful and could down him to easily.

 

Raider continued crouching and carrying his gaffi stick. He slowly waited until they could not tell where he was. They he dove off a large dune ontop of them. Raider quickly stabbed one end of his Gaffi stick in the head of one mercenary. Then slashed the other. Roaring in heavy Tusken as he did so. Raider quickly charged into the mercenary. Impaling him with his gaffi stick.

 

Raider quickly stripped the Mercenaries of their belongings. Which mostly consisted of Blasters, armor and swords. Raider took what he could and put it on the bantha. He quickly charged the bantha back towards the camp. He was glad he did a close battle without receiving a blaster wound.

 

Raider eventually made it back to the camp carrying his supplies. He quickly dropped it on the ground. Except taking the long sword. Smaller uli-ah began crowding around the supplies. Savaging around for useful metals they could use.

 

Raider walked up to the middle fire which was continuously burning. Another responsibility of the female Sand People was to keep the fire burning. No matter what time of day. If the fire ever went out the person who was most responsible was banished immediately. Raider quickly sat down near the fire. He took his Gaffi stick out and began cleaning it with some cloth. Wig was there. He stared at what stars were in the sky.

 

"You know Raider. Its in our history that the stars tell something about the future." Raider nodded slightly. He never looked at the stars anymore. They bored him. "Something tells me something big is going to happen tonight."

 

~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~~

 

The huntress remained cloaked for the time being. She was sneaking to the camp in a cloaked fashion as she learned quite recently. She remembered her orders

 

"...Remember. Take him alive or you won't get your credits." "Yeah Yeah yeah I'l take your stupid asset alive." The crew members were exited when she said it. "Okay. But remember we have failsafe. If you don't make it back to Anchorhead by the next day we will take matters into our own hands." All she cared about was getting paid. What happened next wasn't her problem.

 

She slowly snuck up upon the camp. She quickly noticed the gate's opening system. Shaleena wasn't guarding this night. Another female guard was standing watch. The guards operated the gate by holding down a primitive switch near near the top of the wall. The Huntress quickly took out a small welding unit and welded two wires together. Suddenly the gate opened. Soon she placed on a special glove. On the top of the wrist it had two very long spiked blades. Meant for slicing and stabbing while cloaked. She felt like a natural born predator as she slipped it on. Then she snuck into the camp.

 

Raider meanwhile was chatting with Wig. "So Wig do you ever participate in any raids?" Wig shook his head. Raider knew the answer already. Wig was continuously teased due to his slight pacifistic nature. Wig never went out on raids or tortured victims. He just stayed with the other females and uli-ah near the fire.

 

Suddenly Raider felt a chill up his spine again. He suddenly heard screaming. He turned in its direction. Gru had fallen to the ground. A very large stab wound in his stomach. Suddenly another male right next to him also fell to the ground.

 

Horse screaming filled the air. Raider quickly took his gaffi stick into his arms and felt the urge to charge. But suddenly sense went to him. What was there to charge at. Most of the males followed their instincts and charged towards the gate. However bodies soon littered the ground. Wig stood up

 

"Raider what's going on?" Suddenly Jaden saw as a large blade suddenly went into his head. Wig's body fell to the ground in a crumpled mass.

 

Raider suddenly noticed he was the only male alive there. He suddenly felt like the world had stopped for a second. He felt his hand outstretch. Suddenly he felt the assassin in front of him. Raider dropped his Gaffi stick and grabbed the Huntress's hand in mid air. Suddenly her cloak was unmasked.

 

"What the?" She said out loud. Raider quickly pushed her to the ground. He didn't even know how he did that. Raider took her hair and dragged her towards his tent.

 

One he finished tying her up in the tent something puzzled him. "You better untie me Beast. Then tell me where your prisoners are." Raider felt slightly compelled. Her language felt like it was supposed to be complete gibberish but he slightly understood it. Raider began to take his knife out and Shawn it. Suddenly he accidentally dropped it. The huntress began to wiggle out of one of her restraints. Raider felt a fist hit him at his head. He fell to the ground unconcious.

[DeadYorick]

Here is where you find out where Jaden was

 

Chapter 35: Dark dreams

 

Load up on guns and bring your friends

It's fun to lose and to pretend

She's over bored and self assured

Oh no, I know a dirty word

 

Smells like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

 

Raider slipped into a deep dream. It was another nightmare consisting of him in a losing battle with a larger beast. However every time he got hit by the beast it would spew out the word "Guilty" out. Raider never liked the word Guilty. It felt bad to him. Something about the word he didn't like

 

Raider awoke in a haze. He felt bound up. The fire had gotten out. It was morning again. The huntress was there.

 

"Well now beast you have awoken." Raider attempted to break out of his bonds. But they were to strong.

 

"Now now no escaping. You were willing to torture me so I am going to do the same to you." Raider knew it was inevitable. It was time to take a beating. The huntress walked up closer to him.

 

"You know beast. Your the first one to stop me from killing them. I killed all your beast friends quite easily. But you were the only one who knew where I was." Raider knew the logic in it. He looked down at the ground and stared at Wig's corpse.

 

"Now I have searched all your prisoners. But all of them are dead. Most of them are cut up pretty badly. Now not even I am into that kind of thing."

 

"Oh and Beast. I know you can understand me. I can see inside your head." Raider felt it odd that the gibberish was now making sense. The huntress smirked slightly.

 

Then she hoisted Raider up. Raider was still restrained but attempted to fight it.

 

"Now I searched your entire camp and I found this." She took out Yun's lightsaber. "I will now do force awakening." Suddenly the Huntress quickly put her hands on Raider's shoulders

 

*FLASH* Much of the dream was unknown

 

Jaden Korr stayed unconscious in the Sand People camp. Raider recognized it as 2 years before.

 

"You know this is quite a find. " One Sand Person said to another. "we found him." The other shook his head. "I think you hit him to hard. He kept babbling and doesn't remember anything." The first Sand Person stood up.

 

"Well we could rewrite his memory. I have heard of such things from the story teller. We can rewrite his memory while he is unconscious." The memory suddenly stopped flashing.

 

The huntress pulled away from Raider for a second. Suddenly Raider stumbled and memories continuously streamed into his consciousness. Memories of the Jedi Knight Jaden Korr.

 

Raider got up from off the ground. The huntress walked closer to him "So what do you remember now?" Raider shook his head vigorously.

 

"A lot of things." Raider stood up slightly. Revan flashed into view for a second. The huntress suddenly passed him Yun's lightsaber. Raider quickly switched it on. He quickly did a very complicated pose in it.

 

"I definately remember this." The huntress nodded.

 

"I'm Mira. I was sent here by these bounty hunters to take you alive to their headquarters so they could torture you." Raider shrugged slightly

 

"So why didn't you?" Mira smiled slightly. "I'm not a bounty hunter just for the credits any more. Another jedi taught me that. So I learnt about you and finally thought about doing something good for the galaxy for a change"

 

~~~~1 hour later~~~~~~

 

Raider quickly finished taking off the rest of his tusken garb. Raider needed to get in touch with Revan again. But being inconspicuous was important. Raider quickly salvaged the armor from the mercenaries from before.

 

Raider now had very light metal armor for a torso which made its way to the black pants. Raider also found a large amount of black cloth. The second he noticed his face he was slightly shocked. His original blond hair had darkened considerably. He had numerous scars around his face that were very visible. Mira even commented. So he checked another mercenary he tortured who was wearing a Balaclava. Raider quickly donned the Balaclava. It only had his eyes slightly visible.

 

Raider was just about to leave with Mira when he suddenly remembered something. He ran back to his tent and found his Trench coat. He immediately donned it.

 

Mira quickly observed. Then they walked back to the swoop. Raider quickly took one last look at the camp. Something about it felt like home. He quickly climbed into Mira's swoop.

 

"Okay we are going to Anchorhead. Once there we should be able to transport." Raider nodded. The swoop accelerated across the dunes. Raider was glad he could finally get rid of that dust and Bantha smell

[Rev7]

Okiay, so Raider is Jaden? Very interesting. One question though, why did Mira enjoy fighting and killing the Tusken Raiders? She herself has said that se doesn't enjoy killing, and only does it when absolutly necissary. Is she on the darkside?

Great chapter though, and you seem to just be quite easily pumping out the chapters. Great job, and keep on writing!

 

~Rev

[DeadYorick]

Rev7: Mira had to kill all the Tusken Raiders due to the fact that she didn't know that Raider was Jaden at the time. She believed that he was a prisoner somewhere in the camp. She needed to get rid of the threat which was the tusken raiders who would kill her as soon as her cloaking would run out. When Raider used the force to sense where Mira was it proved that he was Jaden.

 

The reason I am writing so fast is because I keep getting more ideas for chapters. This one in fact I had to rewrite many times.

 

Chapter 36: Cold climate

 

 

Reaching out for something to hold

Looking for a love where the climate is cold

 

Out of Touch - Hall and Oats

 

Mira's speeder eventually made it to Anchorhead. Raider took notice to the fact that Mira had a lightsaber.

 

"Are you a jedi?" He asked her bluntly.

 

Mira shook her head. "I was trained as a jedi but I am a bounty hunter." Raider also took notice that her speeder had many blasters. He took a blaster shotgun. Then some blaster packs. Raider noticed his trench coat had various latches and pockets. He placed the shotgun on a latch in his trench coat. Keeping it perfectly hidden. He also took a blaster pistol and placed it in a pocket.

 

"So what do you call yourself now?" Raider quickly said his name. "Well Raid we are going to Anchorhead. I mostly took public transport to get here. So we need to find a ship." Raider thought of the Ebon Hawk. But between two years the Ebon Hawk wouldn't be anywhere near Tatooine.

 

The speeder made it to Anchorhead. Mira quickly took the rest of the blasters and ammo. They both walked into Anchorhead.

 

Most of Anchorhead was bustling with Mercenaries and traders. "Best course of action would be the cantina. Lets go there."

 

Raider remembered back when he was in the future. Cantinas were built almost exactly the same and had bith's playing the same music or similar. This was no exception. They both walked to a table at the far side.

 

"Okay we need a pilot. Now Tatooine is a great place for smugglers."

 

"Mira where are we going?"

 

"Coruscant. Over there we can get some jedi help." Raider's mind immediately flashed to the Exile.

 

"Like?"

 

"Raid you might not know this. But the Jedi temple was over throne by the sith 2 years ago."

 

"By who?"

 

"The sith. They took it over and turned it into a stih academy. They also took down the republic. I don't know how they did it. But it was some masterful planning and coordination. The republic still exists. However it is secretly ruled by the sith."

 

"So why Coruscant?"

 

"Well most jedi turned to the darkside on Coruscant. Maybe we could find some who didn't." Raider got up soon.

 

"Well lets get a pilot." Raider scanned the crowd. Most of the smugglers looked more like mercenaries and bounty hunters. Except for one group. There was a man wearing what looked like a purple pilot's jacket. He was speaking to what looked like a Jawa.

 

Raider quickly walked towards them.

 

"Are you a pilot?"

 

The one in the pilot's jacket nodded. "Yes. Dustil Onasi at your service. This is my friend Ozzy." He gestured to his Jawa. Raider vaguely remembered Revan speaking about Carth Onasi his pilot friend.

 

"Going to Coruscant?" Dustil nodded.

 

"Might be. Me and Ozzy are currently smuggling shipments. Coruscant might be going that far.

 

"Well me and my friend are trying to get to the Jedi temple."

 

Suddenly Dustil gestured to sit down. He sat down next to Ozzy. "Jedi temple? Planning on springing some sith then?" Raider nodded.

 

"Well then I am going to help you. I was once a sith and turned because of what my father and his friend Revan said to me." Raider nodded slowly.

 

Raider walked back to Mira. "Were back in business

 

~~~~~~~~~~1 hour later~~~~~~~~~~

 

Raider and Mira were walking down Anchorheads plaza. Then he noticed a droid shop. He jestured to Mira. Then they walked inside.

 

There was an Ithorian standing there. Raider quickly looked at some of the droids. Many of them looked like they were buried in the sand for thousands of years. Except one. He walked to it.

 

Raider quickly switched the droid on. Suddenly it sprang to life.

 

"8t88 at your service." Raider remembered 88 instantly.

 

"How much for 88?" The Ithorian named 1000 credits. Raider turned to Mira. She quickly shelled out the credits.

 

"Allright back in business. Lets go to Dustil now."

[Rev7]

Okay, I understand whats going on now. Thanks. I wasn't trying to say that writing so many chapters is bad at all. I think that it is a good thing. Great job, I must say that I really like this story.

[DeadYorick]

Chapter 37: Stewart

 

I see people turn their heads and quickly look away

Like a new born baby it just happens every day

 

Paint it Black - Rolling Stones

 

Mira, Raider and 88 Eventually made it to the docking area where Dustil's ship was located. Dustil's ship the "Highway star" was a medium class frieghter. It was quite large. It could hold 5 people inside it.

 

"Alright lets get on." Raider nodded. Mira, Raider and 88 climbed on the ship.

 

There were 2 cabins, a Central area and the cockpit. Raider walked inside the Cockpit. There were four seats there. Raider sat in one. Dustil and Ozzy walked inside and sat in two others. Raider noticed that Ozzy didn't wear his hood up like a normal Jawa. He instead had a tall pointed hat. His clothing was also dyed light grey.

 

"Alright Dustil. Lets go to Coruscant." Dustil nodded as the ship lifted off. It soon blasted into hyperspace."

 

~~~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~~~~

 

Unknown Space. 6 days 10 hours+ to the incident

 

"Master. The Helioschist has entered known space." Blank said to the shadowy character.

 

"I know. I sensed his appearance."

 

"Master what will you do?"

 

"The Helioschist will obviously seek the Icarus. We must follow him. But however I plan on slowing him down."

 

"How sir?"

 

"I can sense him going to Coruscant. He will eventually find Darth Traya there. We will see if he is suggestible to the darkside...."

 

~~~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~~

 

Dustil stood up and walked out of the cockpit. Raider sat next to Ozzy.

 

"So whats your story."

 

Raider barely knew Jawaese. Most Sand People did. Such as wig. But he was surprised the Jawa knew how to speak basic. He had a squeaking voice

 

"I met Dustil on Tatooine 1 year ago. I began smuggling with him." Suddenly Dustil came back into the cockpit.

 

"I went to the sith academy around 7 years ago. My dad talked me into leaving. Ive been mostly smuggling and roaming around the galaxy since then. I met Ozzy here while drifting."

 

"My story is full of holes." Raider said.

 

Mira came into the cockpit. "Allright. Once we get to Coruscant we should land near the Jedi Temple correct?" Dustil nodded. Suddenly the ship blasted its way out of hyperspace. It orbited the city planet of Coruscant.

 

"Allright. Ozzy land near the Jedi temple." The small Jawa nodded. He pulled the ship towards the temple. It was midday and the sun was blaring. The temple had apparently installed a fountain in front of the large steps.

 

Mira walked up to Raider. "Allright. The sith here mostly don't have lightsabers. They usually have vibroblades. But the masters have lightsabers."

 

"Got it." Raider said. The Highway star landed near the fountain.

 

Raider walked up to 88. "88 you stay here with the Jawa." 88 nodded slowly. Jaden also noticed Dustil had a lightsaber in one of his pilots jacket's pockets.

 

"Were you a jedi?"

 

"Like I said. Sith."

 

The walked down the servicing ramp. Raider quickly took his blaster pistol out. When Mira took out her lightsaber. Dustil did the same.

 

(This is my 500th post. Yahoo!)

[Rev7]

Ah, things seem to be coming into place... I have to say that I have noticed that you have kinda gotten a lot of ideas from ANH (A New Hope). I think that you have done a great job with doing that and I cannot wait to see what happens with it. Great job!

[DeadYorick]

Chapter 38: Ordinary Routine

 

...Someday you'll see things my way cause you never know,

no ya never know when your gonna go...

 

My Way - Limp Bizkit

 

Raider looked to Mira and Dustil.

 

"Okay split up. We need to get to the council chamber. There we might be able to find Revan or the Exile or some master that can be easy to turn back from the darkside." They both nodded. "But we need to split up. Take down these guys one by one. We don't want to get out numbered very fast."

 

There were several ways to enter the jedi temple. Dustil and Mira took side entrances. Raider took the large steps up to the main entrance.

 

There were rows of columns before the main entrance. Raider quickly hid behind some as a few cloaked dark jedi walked past him. Raider also noticed the large amount of sith troops running to and fro.

 

"This'l be easy." He said outloud as he fired one shot at a nearby sith soldier.

 

Raider eventually snuck inside the jedi temple. The grand hall was enourmous with a giant fountain in the middle. But Raider swore it was a recent piece. It had a figure of a Rakata in a powerful pose in it.

 

"Darth Helios. Ruler of the Infinite Empire and future ruler of the republic." was written on a tablet. Suddenly Raider heard footsteps.

 

"That goes without showing..." Suddenly he saw a sith soldier notice him.

 

"Hey its a mercenary. Kill him." Raider suddenly saw many sith coming from all sides. Raider quickly took his blaster shotgun and fired a blaster slug directly at the nearest sith soldier. But more were swarming everywhere. He continued to fire but realised that he would be slowly outnumbered with a blaster. He slowly took his lightsaber out.

 

A farmiliar warmth ran through his hands as he sawed down a few sith. Raider quickly dispatched the rest of the soldiers. Leaving bodies on the ground. Suddenly he heard clapping. He looked up.

 

The grand hall had a large staircase that lead to a larger hallway that would lead to the elevators. Standing at the top of the stairs was Bastila Shan. But something was different about here. When Raider breifly saw her before she was wearing brown jedi robes and had a caring face with brown hair. But now she was wearing very long pitch black sith robes and was wearing a hood. Her eyes had dark pupils and her hair matched her hood.

 

"Bravo Helioschist. But can you fare against." Suddenly she snapped her fingers. All of the sudden dark jedi came out of cloaking around Jaden. There had to be dozens of them. "An army?" Suddenly she walked up the staircases to the great hallway. She suddenly snapped her fingers.

 

The dark Jedi sprang to life wielding vibro blades. Raider managed to saw down a few. However he soon found himself doing backflips to avoid their hits. One was a very large one and was wielding a vibro axe. Raider managed to take him down by jumping on his back and impaling him.

 

Raider soon was on the upper levels. Sabering several dark jedi. These seemed to not be the ones he met before who were addicted to the dark side of the force. These seemed to be trainees who were just using sparks of the darkside. Raider managed to continue taking them down.

 

Soon there were twelve left. Raider managed to kill six of them by simply dodging and slashing. The rest cowered and ran away. Until there was only one left. He was cowering in a corner of the great hall. Raider pointed his lightsaber at him. The dark jedi was suddenly on his knees begging for his survival

 

"Please don't kill me. Please let me leave." There is no honor in this. There is no glory. Just me, the saber and the one who underestimated his opponent. Raider quickly deactivated his lightsaber. The dark jedi got up and ran out of the hall. Raider quickly ran up the grand staircase to the grand hall

 

Standing in the middle of the hall was Bastila Shan. "What took you so long?" She taunted him.

 

"You mean you knew I would get out alive?" Bastila cackled shrilly.

 

"Of course. Simple dark jedi students cannot fare against a jedi. I thought you would know that."

 

"You know Revan is going to get angry at me for taking you down Bastila."

 

Suddenly another expression ran down Bastila's face. But she shrugged it off. "That depends on if you will or not." Bastila suddenly ignited her red saber staff. Raider's bright orange blade followed.

 

"Come get some" Raider quickly called across the hall

[DeadYorick]

Chapter 39: Blitz 2

 

Have a big dinner, have a light snack

If you don't like it, you can't send it back

 

Eat It - Wierd Al Yankovic

 

Bastila charged for Raider. He had barely enough time to hold the lightsaber infront of him and block her attack. Raider saw that she was quite fast with her attacks. She could attack from two directions which made Raider have to use the entire blade of his lightsaber.

 

Raider was soon backed into a corner. She was very fierce with her lightsaber. Raider was soon forced to jump on the wall and launch himself on the other side of the hallway.

 

"Come on Helioschist. This is embarrassing." Bastila cackled. Raider felt a flush of anger. But continued sabering her. Soon her hood fell off as she attempted to slash him. Raider soon rolled to the side several times to get out of her attacks.

 

~~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~~

 

Mira and Dustil were busy sabering sith soldiers that would come their way. They were making their way to the archives. Eventually making it there.

 

"Okay Dustil use the archives and find out if there are any remote jedi somewhere" Dustil nodded and ran to a console.

 

"Mira the cameras indicate someone has landed a ship in the hangar. He quickly switched the camera to the hanger

 

"Its the Ebon Hawk." Mira said finally. She remembered when she was traveling with the Jedi Exile in it. "That must mean..."

 

Suddenly Dustil switched to the hallway camera. It showed Raider in a large saber lock with Bastila.

 

"Oh no Dustil we need to get there to stop him." Mira ran out of the archives towards the great hallway.

Coruscant. 6 days 9 hours+ to the incident

 

Raider felt himself pressed as he continued to attack Bastila. She continued to block his attacks as if he was barely anything. Soon Raider felt he needed to find some opening in her techic or he would have to do something drastic.

 

"Come on Helioschist. This is embarrassing. I have been training for the last 5 years in saber art. With the dark side fueling my every action nothing will be able to stand in my way."

 

Suddenly the great hallway door opened. Raider turned to it. A great light came out of it as a figure draped in black suddenly walked towards them. Raider instantly recognised him. The figure in black walked towards where they were battiling. Suddenly he reached for Raider's shoulder and threw him across the hall.

 

"Bastila is mine." Revan said in a gruff tone.

 

"Revan..." Bastila said softly. Soon a blue blade appeared at Revan's side. Revan continued Raider's battle.

 

Raider saw as Mira appeared at Raider's side.

 

"I knew it. Revan has come." Soon Revan disarmed Bastila as if it took no effort.

 

"You disappoint me Bastila. You put up much more of a fight on the star forge." Revan soon picked Bastila up off the ground.

 

"So Jaden. How were the Sand People." Revan called across the hall.

 

"Fine." Raider called back. Suddenly he heard something. At the opposite end of the great hallway another door opened. Near the elevator Raider felt a surge in the darkside as a female dark jedi walked down the hallway.

 

"I should have known my Apprentice would be easily swayed by Revan. But we will see what happens now."

 

"Darth Traya..." Revan said. Raider didn't recognize this. It seemed very extinct. Raider soon steped forward. Darth Traya walked back to the elevators. Raider soon followed her.

 

The elevators lifted up to the council room. Raider walked inside and saw Traya meditating infront of the grand statue. Where Exiled jedi would place their lightsabers.

 

"Ah Helioschist. I sensed your arrival and sent Bastila to you." She suddenly stood up and turned to him. She was in a draped cloak with her hood up. A dark veil was where her face was. "But here in my domain you will fall. Then leaving Darth Helios no competition to rule the galaxy."

 

"Competition? Look Traya if I have to stop you like I stopped your students so be it. Come get some." Suddenly two scarlet pulse saber blades appeared at her side.

 

"Let it then." She yelled. Traya suddenly charged towards Raider. He quickly blocked her attack. They both circled around the council chamber. Raider didn't usually duel dual wielding jedi. The only one he did was Alora. It was a new experience for him

Dude you should have this made into a JA mod!

Dude you should have this made into a JA mod!

 

When you see what I am going to do with it the mod would become way to difficult

[Rev7]

Awesome job RakataDark! I am really enjoying this fic. Great action scenes! I think it is nice to see that Revan came back to help Jaden! Great job once again and keep writing!

Chapter 40: Shiny Diamonds

 

Ride the tiger

You can see his stripes but you know he's clean

Oh don't you see what I mean

 

Holy Diver - Dio

 

Suddenly Traya charged towards Raider. He quickly blocked her attack and parried. Traya's dual lightsabers proved an edge in battle. Her sabers were also slightly longer. Giving a stabbing edge and an impaling edge.

 

Raider soon found himself rolling behind chairs to avoid Traya's attacks. She continuously slashed Raider until he decided to fight back. Raider quickly began parrying at her. Soon Traya was backed up towards the pillar. Raider threw his lightsaber to the ground and reached for Traya's hands. He quickly wrestled Traya's pulse blades out of her hands until she was on the floor. Traya's hood fell off simultaneously.

 

Underneath the hood of Darth Traya was the Exile. Raider continued to point the blades in her face.

 

Raider felt conflict resonating inside him. He had to choose whether or not to kill her. The Exile had a very sad expression on her face.

 

"How could I have lost? I used the dark side to the best of my ability." She whimpered

 

"That is the natural cause of the darkside. It ends in death."

 

"Jaden please don't kill me." She finally said. Raider felt his hands twich as his sabers started shaking. Soon he turned off her pulse blades.

 

"I... Can't do it." Raider said finally. He couldn't kill her. He tried but couldn't. Something inside him told him it was a bad idea.

 

"Whats your real name?" He asked her.

 

"Skye." She finally said. Raider liked the name Skye. He turned around and saw Revan there along with Mira and Dustil.

 

"Okay Skye." He said getting up

 

~~~~~~~~~~1 hour later~~~~~~~~~~

 

Skye had dressed out of her Traya robes. She said she was influenced with the darkside when Darth Helios came to the academy. He warped the minds of all the students and masters and she couldn't deal with another betrayal. Helios toyed with her mind using tactics that Kreia used on her a few years before.

 

They were all sitting in the council chambers. Revan was launching into a story about how he was hunting down Helios but couldn't find him. Everyone but T3, HK and a Rakatan that followed Revan left the Ebon Hawk. They went to their home planets to find them attacked by the sith.

 

Skye stood up finally. "Raider I think I know what Helios is looking for." She walked to the pillar and placed a sphere in the middle of it. Suddenly a large hologram of the galaxy appeared

 

"When I was Traya Helios spoke of his 5 liutenants. Helios wants to have galactic conquest. He may secretly control the republic but he doesn't control the galaxy. The worlds in the Unknown regions and beyond the republic's influence interest him for some particular reason. We believe that he wants something called the Icarus."

 

Suddenly another image showed up on the hologram. It showed what looked like a very old fashioned middle ages key.

 

"The Icarus unlocks the Daedalus. Apparently the Daedalus can do more then travel through time. It can go through different dimensions and even alter history. Helios wants this so he could finally become the greatest benevolent dictator of the universe and rule it until the end of time."

 

"Well we have to stop him then." Raider said out loud

 

"Thats were these lieutenants come in. Only Helios knows remotely where the Icarus is. So he entrusted coordinants to the planet where it supposedly is. Trouble is every one only knows one digit and we have to find out what the full coordiants are before we can get there.

 

"Why doesn't Helios just go himself to the planet?"

 

"I don't know. Something about a prophecy and he cannot set foot on it or else he will completely change history. Anyway his 5 lieutenants are currently on 5 different planets hiding out. They are awaiting Helios's orders to take over the planets. They are hiding out on" Suddenly the hologram changed and highlighted 5 different planets

 

"M4-78, Dromund Kaas, Nar Shadaa, Kamino and Ryloth."

 

"Great lets get going." Raider said standing up. Revan, Mira, Skye and Dustil stood up as well.

 

"Were all going with you." Revan said. "I want to save the galaxy again. I am not missing out on this,"

 

Mira quickly walked over. "I feel I need something on my conscience to balance me out."

 

Dustil Walked over. "I think that I don't want to be viewed as a Sith any more."

 

Finally Skye walked over. "I think I need to redeem myself a little." She said slowly

 

Finally Ozzy and 88 made it to the Ebon Hawk. Revan said it was quite lonely on the Ebon Hawk without anyone that wasn't depressing to talk to. All the Rakata did was speak about the infinite empires's torture methods. Dustil walked inside the cockpit with Ozzy. Skye walked inside the cabin where Revan kissed Bastila. Revan was inside the computer room. Mira was in her original place inside the hidden compartment room. HK-47 was in the cargo room with 88. T3 was doing a circuit of the ship. The Rakatan that Raider remembered he beat in a saber duel on Lehon was there as well. He was in the place Bao Dur was in.

 

Raider walked inside the cockpit.

 

"So where to Raider?" Ozzy squeaked.

 

"How about Nar Shaddaa? I haven't been there in a while." Dustil nodded and quickly punched in the coordinants as Ozzy launched the ship into hyperspace.

[Rev7]

Very nice job! There are a something that I came across that I have a question about. Why would a lieutenant have one of these digits? A lieutenant isn't that high of a ranking, do you mean Admiral? Other than that, another great attachment!

Chapter 41: Scum and Villainy

They told him don't you ever come around here

Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear

The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear

 

Beat it - Micheal Jackson

 

Dustil flew the Ebon Hawk towards the black planet of Nar Shaddaa.

 

"Okay Raid where should we land?" The Exile walked into the cockpit

 

"The refugee sector. The easiest place to get lost." She slowly said. Soon Dustil flew it onto a small landing pad

 

Raider walked to the middle of the Ebon Hawk. He slowly checked his guns and quickly put them in his trench coat.

 

"Who's going?" Raider looked around and saw 88 and Ozzy walk beside him. Raider didn't even know a jawa could fight.

 

The Ebon Hawk's service platfrom went down and they walked down it.

 

"Okay we better scope out the refugee sector a little." Raider quickly turned his comlink on.

 

The three walked down a small musty alley. The refugee sector was full of commoners, smugglers, mercenaries, bounty hunters and refugees. They continued to walk around the refugee sector until 88 spotted a droid shop.

 

"Please Master. Allow me to upgrade myself?" Raider sighed slightly.

 

"Allright fine. But you better be out of there by the time we leave." 88 ran into the droid repair shop. Raider looked around and saw a nearby Cantina. Ozzy and Raider slowly walked into it.

 

The bar looked like a normal Cantina. There was a Twi'lek behind the counter and bounty hunters at the table. Raider kept his guns in arms reach as he walked over to the counter.

 

"Ruby Bliels." He slowly said. Hoping that the drink existed 4000 years in the past. As luck would have it just like thermal detonators and Blastech it did. Raider's favorite drink was chock full of alcohol and flavoring. He slowly sipped the drink underneath his Balaclava. Ozzy quickly sat on a nearby stool.

 

"Oz ask around to some patrons. Someone here must know something about Helios's Lieutenants." Ozzy nodded underneath his hat and jumped off the stool. Suddenly he heard a tap on his shoulder.

 

Did you say something about Helios?" he heard a feminine voice say. He spun around and saw it belonged to a female Zeltron. She had dark red hair that was in bangs. She had striking pink skin. Much of which was seen due to her very revealing attire. Raider would normally be aroused if it wasn't for the alcohol in his system. A good Ruby Bliels didn't allow his body to function properly."

 

"Maybe. Who are you?" He asked her bluntly. She was quite alone surprisingly. Raider was surprised that there weren't half a dozen patrons gawking at her.

 

"If you're asking me that, Handsome, you're better off not knowing. But in your case I will indulge you."

 

"Whats your name?"

 

"Luxa. Its a family name. Back to the point at hand I may know something about Helios and lieutenant that you may find interesting."

 

"Really. Indulge me." Luxa pointed to an empty table. Raider quickly walked towards it.

 

"Well from what I have heard this new sith lord Darth Helios is planning to take over many of the outer rim worlds and maybe even the unknown regions. While I don't normally care about this I have heard that one of his Lieutenants is residing on Nar Shaddaa."

 

"Really? Where?" Raider asked.

 

"I don't know myself. I just know someone who might. Now this lieutenant had a bounty with the Exchange I want to claim. Maybe we can help each other." Raider felt his stomach growl but he ignored it.

 

"What do you propose?"

 

"I can already tell your not a mercenary." Raider was slightly stunned. But then she pointed to Raider's open compartment where he held his lightsaber. "But I can't claim this Luteniants bounty by myself and I don't want to hire Gammoreanians who are to stupid to open a door. So I want you to kill him afterwards."

 

Raider who needed that digit found he had a hobson's choice. Either take the horse or leave. There was really no choice. "Fine I'l do it." Luxa nodded.

 

"Good choice Jedi. If we met each other a few years ago I would have cashed you in on a bounty Jedi had. It was a good sum of money." Jaden didn't know if he was being threatened or complimented. He slowly got out of the table.

 

Ozzy came running. "Raider I didn't find anyone who knew anything."

 

"Its okay Oz. Go back to the ship I can finish things here." Ozzy quickly ran out of the cantina. Raider turned to Luxa.

 

"Long story." They both began to walk out of the cantina.

 

"Okay my contact mostly hangs out at the Jekk Jekk Tarr. Meet me there when your ready." She soon walked down the other end of the alley. Raider got a good glimpse of the back of her and felt the Ruby Bliels finally getting out of his system at the worst time. Raider quickly took his comlink off his belt to distract himself.

 

"Uh... Revan do you know of anything called the Jekk Jekk Tarr?" He asked on the comlink. Revan ordered Raider to get back to the Ebon Hawk. He quickly obeyed and walked back to the ship.

[Rev7]

I find it very interesting how you incorporated a lot of what happened in TSL in this chapter. Very nice descriptive sentances, and I think that you have done a great job. Great stuff if you ask me!

Nar Shaddaa, 6 days 4 hours + to the incident

 

"Okay Raid. We have two choices now." Revan said sitting down next to Raider. "We can either trust Luxa and find this contact of hers. Or we can do everything ourselves."

 

"I don't trust her." Skye said getting up. Skye was very quiet during Raider's summary of what happened. Especially during his description of Luxa. "I think I met her on Telos. I thought I killed her but it seems that she is still alive."

 

"Irregardless we need those coordinates. We have to trust her for the time being."

 

Skye stood up with a flushed expression on her face. "Didn't you listen to a word I said? She can't be trusted."

 

"Skye..."

 

"Oh you men are all the same." Skye said storming out towards the cabin. Raider attempted to go after her but felt a hand on his shoulder.

 

"Let her go. We have bigger things to worry about."

 

"Yeah how I am going to survive inside that gas chamber."

 

Revan put a very concentrated look on his face. "I learnt from Skye a while ago about something called breath control. Which allows you to survive for days or even weeks without breathing."

 

"Okay Revan. Teach me how to do it."

 

~~~~~1 hour later~~~~~

 

Raider walked towards the Jekk Jekk Tarr alone after completely mastering breath control. Luxa was standing outside. The bouncer was casually flirting with her.

 

"Okay I'm here. Where is your contact?" He asked her.

 

"Ah the jedi approaches. He is inside and there is no other way out. We can talk to him while he is having a drink." Raider nodded and walked inside the air chamber

 

The first thing Raider felt was no air. He quickly used his breath control and felt more at ease. He quickly darted his head at Luxa who was looking at him strangely.

 

Luxa had a blaster pistol with her. "Okay I don't trust this guy. If he tries to jump us kill him. But not before he tells us where Helios's lieutenant is." Raider nodded and walked inside the multicolored bar.

 

Raider walked with Luxa through a few of the bars. Noticing many of them had specific species inside them. They walked towards a bar colored green which was populated by Biths.

 

"There he is" she pointed to a shallow eyed rodian standing at the bar. Raider walked up to him.

 

"Luxa here tells us you know something about Helios." The Rodian darted from both Raider and Luxa.

 

"Ah I see you brought your own form of protection. It won't save you this time." Suddenly Raider felt a flash in the force and looked around. 5 Bith's came out of stealth field generators at the exact same time.

 

"Kill them both." The rodian said. Luxa was ready to blast. Raider quickly reached for his blaster pistol and ducked. Then as if time was slowing down he pointed it at the nearest bith and fired. Then quickly rolled to the side and fired at the rest. Then pointed at the Rodian.

 

"No more games. Where is the lieutenant?" The rodian looked very surprised and flabbergasted at the events. Luxa took him by the antennei.

 

"Alright bug. Tell us or my friend here will blast your wrinkly skin from here to Coruscant." Finally the Rodian caved in.

 

"Alright. I heard that this lieutenant is somewhere on a ship called the Lambda. Its orbiting Nar Shaddaa. But the problem is the ship has an ion cannon that will roast any ship that comes near it without proper access codes.

 

"Where do we get access codes." Raider asked.

 

"I have heard that Loppak Slusk a Quarren crime boss has codes."

 

"Slusk. That worm head will be easy to manipulate." Luxa let go of the rodian's head.

 

"Allright lets go find Slusk." Luxa said to Raider. Raider quickly reloaded his blaster pistol and placed it back in his trench coat.

 

While they were in the Jekk Jekk Tarr's airlock Luxa began to seem rather distant.

 

"Notice anything you like?" Raider asked her.

 

Luxa seemed to have snapped out of her trance. "What? Oh no... Well maybe." Raider remembered what Kyle Katarn once said to him about a Zeltron that he met. Zeltrons produced Pheromones that would create an attraction to the opposite sex. Then they could project emotions on the psyche allowing them to manipulate the subject. Kyle even talked about how he lost a game of Sabacc to a Zeltron when she found out he was cheating

 

Raider found it odd that Luxa seemed to be having an opposite effect on him. Rather Raider was influencing her.

 

"Anyway we need to go find this guy Slusk. Do you know him?"

 

"Yes. While I was on Telos I tried to overthrow him. But I was betrayed by some woman I employed and barely survived to tell the tale. Slusk is a coward and should be easy to take the codes from. But he has a lot of droids and bounty hunters guarding him.

 

"Leave them to me." Raider said as the Airlock opened. Raider and Luxa walked out of the Jekk Jekk Tarr towards the Refugee sector. Where they would go find Loppak Slusk

[Rev7]

HeliosPrime, 0 days 30 seconds + to the incident

 

Raider came out of the cold. Atop the pyramid of HeliosPrime.

 

"Their all dead then... Thats it isn't it. This is how it all ends."

 

"Yesss. Raider. This is how the Republic falls and how the new utopia begins." Raider's thoughts went to Luxa and Skye. Their little fight was nothing compared to what he just did. He looked towards the Daedalus with the Icarus jammed directly into it. A large vortex was directly in the middle of it. Raider began to remember when he first became attracted to Luxa. When everything went to hell..."

 

Nar Shaddaa, 6 days 3.5 hours + to the incident

 

Luxa and Raider walked towards the refugee sector. It was a smugglers dream. Full of immigrants and bounty hunters. Luxa stood infront of the door.

 

"Alright the last time i was here this place was crawling with bounty hunters. Are you ready?"

 

"Yes. Open the door." Luxa soon opened the door. Suddenly Raider saw a large Gammoreanian running towards them. Raider quickly fired one shot at his face. The Gammoreanian fell to the ground and Raider quickly gunslinged his pistol around his finger quickly.

 

"Who's next?" Luxa quickly walked down the hallway. There were two ways to go. Luxa walked down the right way and Raider walked down the left

 

The left sloped downwards compared to how the right sloped upwards. Raider slowly walked down it.

 

Eventually the sloped hallway made it to an open clearing. It was full of smuggling crates and Raider could see refugees everywhere. They were standing around and some of them looked deathly ill. Raider looked around and spotted a door at the opposite end of the area. Raider looked around but then felt a sharp sting in the force. He turned to where it originated. It originated with a Kel Dor several feet away. Raider walked up to him.

 

The Kel door was meditating on the ground. He showed absolutely no indication of Raider being there. However when he walked closer he moved his head.

 

"Stop right there." Raider froze. The Kel dor got up immediately. Raider noticed his jedi robes. "I sensed your arrival on Nar Shaddaa. It was a little obvious."

 

"How so?" Raider asked the Kel dor curiously. "Because I sensed Mistress Skye and the dark lord Revan with you."

 

"Your a jedi then?" The Kel Dor nodded.

 

"Yes and i sensed you as well. But curiously your force aura is strange. It is cool to sense and I cannot distinguish anything about you."

 

"So what are you doing on Nar Shaddaa if your a great jedi then?"

 

"Oh I was exiled long ago for disobeying a direct order from the Jedi Council."

 

"What was it?"

 

"I'm not proud of it. Maybe some other time." Raider felt like the Kel Dor had a dark history about him.

 

"Well can you at least tell me your name?"

 

"My name is Dar Kresh. Jedi Sentinel at your service." Then he went back to meditating. Raider felt a little confused. But he shrugged and walked towards the opposite side of where he came in. There was another door. He noticed it sloped upwards this time.

 

When Raider eventually walked up to the top he noticed bodies everywhere. There were Gammoreanians, Rodians, Droids and even humans. He heard blasting in a door at the end of the hall. Raider quickly lifted his blaster pistol and walked into the room.

 

Luxa was there. But her hair was being held by a rodian. "Thought you would sneak up on us eh?" There was a Gammoreanian in the room as well.

 

"Kill her." The rodian ordered. The gammoreanian took out a blaster and was about to blast Luxa. Raider quickly shot the Gammoreanian and then the rodian.

 

"About time." Raider nodded and noticed the next room was behind another door.

 

"Slusk is behind this door. He should be easy to take down." Raider nodded and quickly opened the door

 

Slusk was behind his desk. He quickly stood up but Raider pointed his gun at him.

 

"Luxa I didn't know you liked bringing protection."

 

"Shut up worm head. Tell us where the codes are."

 

"Come on Luxa. Be reasonable. You will not survive on the Lambda."

 

"I'll take my chances." Raider said. He quickly cocked the pistol. "Now tell us where the codes are or your going to get a very nice cauterized hole in your head." Soon he took a datapad out of his desk and slid it across the desk.

 

"Good. Raider kill him now."

 

"Wait? Why?"

 

"This worm head is going to go right to the Lieutenant and alert him. Your ship will be downed regardless of codes." Raider knew she was right. But he still didn't feel right. Raider then quickly sucked his gut in and pulled the trigger.

 

Slusk's body flew into the window right behind his desk. It was directly over the large courtyard Raider was just in. Slusk's body fell on a refugee and screams emerged from it. Raider quickly placed his blaster in his Trench Coat.

 

"Well now that wasn't so hard now was it?"

 

"I don't want to talk about it." Luxa suddenly grabbed onto Raider's sleeve.

 

"Your an efficient killer. I like that in a man." Raider noticed her expression change. Before she had a very scrunched expression like a kinrath pup. But now her expression looked very kind and attractive. Raider felt very attracted but soon his mind took over again.

 

"Alright we have the codes. I'm going back to my ship." Raider walked out of the door and Luxa followed him

 

1 hour later

 

Raider found 88 back in the droid shop. Wondering wether a lazer cannon on his head would fit inside the ship. He quickly shoved him into the Ebon Hawk when he saw Luxa walking towards the ship.

 

"Maybe I should help. You know see if you can kill the Luteniant properly."

 

"What happened to efficiant killer?" She shrugged and walked up the Ebon Hawk's service ramp. Raider also felt the sting in the force again. He turned and saw Dar Kresh from before coming his way.

 

"I wish to help you." Dar said. "I have spoken to Skye." Raider turned around and saw Skye behind him.

 

"Yes I spoke with him. He wants to help us find the Icarus Raider." Raider shrugged.

 

"I take all the help I can get." The Kel Dor nodded. The three walked up the Ebon Hawk's service ramp

 

Luxa went to the opposite cabin then the Exile. The Kel dor was meditating near the work bench.

 

"Dustil we have to get to a ship called the Lambda. Its hovering just above the planet." Dustil nodded and lifted the ship off the landing platform. Raider hoped that they weren't expected.

[Rev7]

Absolutely wonderful! Great job, as usual. I did notice some minor spelling mistakes, such as you spelled Kel Dor , Kel Door, and some missing periods. Minor stuff...

 

I like how Raider is starting to have conflict in his journey. Luxa seems to be manipulating him... well anyways, I can't wait for more!

[DeadYorick]

Chapter 44: Gamma

"The hammer of the gods

Will drive our ships to new lands,"

 

Immigrant Song - Led Zepplin

 

The Ebon Hawk flew towards the Lambda without incident. Dustil quickly transmitted the codes and the ship flew right in. Raider walked to the middle of the Hawk.

 

"Okay Luxa lets go." Suddenly Dar Kresh stood up. "Okay lets go."

 

They walked down the Ebon Hawk's servicing ramp. Suddenly Raider saw a dozen Sith troopers run into the hanger and crouch beside random placements.

 

"FREEZE" One of them said. Raider quickly ignited his lightsaber along with Kresh. Raider noticed Kresh's bright yellow lightsaber. Raider quickly dispatched many of the sith soldiers while Kresh did the rest. Raider saw Kresh's battling style had much elegance and flair. As if he was dancing with his lightsaber rather then slaughtering sith with it. Raider pointed to the hangar door.

 

"Quickly lets go." The hallway split into three directions.

 

"Why do they always have different directions?" Raider asked outloud. They went into the different directions. Raider took out his blaster shotgun and quickly placed a blaster pack into it. Suddenly Raider saw a Sith trooper jump out infront of him. He blasted him quickly and looked into the room he was in.

 

The room was quite large. There was what looked like a closet at the far end of it. Raider quickly opened it and saw a sith trooper still in armor fall out of it. A datapad was clutched in his cold dead hands. It appeared to be a journal

 

"... The luteniant opened the box that Helios told him not to. Suddenly this large bug thing came out. It killed Friday and Hardy before we could even notice. Its breeding. I'd better hope he doesn't find me in my locker." The rest was what looked like a will. Raider quickly dropped the datapad and heard something. He turned around and saw a vent break open. Suddenly a large bug-like monster came out of it. The bug looked humanoid yet its head was what looked like a bugs. Its arms looked like human bones. As if it had mutated from a human.

 

The bug slashed Raider's shotgun out of his hands. Then he quickly ignited his lightsaber and cut it down. Raider quickly took his blaster pistol out of his pocket and cocked it. Then he pointed it at the bug. It was still alive but it had lost control of its legs.

 

"Dustil tell Revan to stay near the doors of the Hangar. We are not alone." Then he quickly fired one shot at the bug's head. Killing it instantly. "We are definitely not alone." Raider quickly picked up his blaster shotgun and reloaded it. Then he ran out of the room.

 

The rest of the hallway made it to a frieght elevator. Suddenly he heard Luxa on the other line.

 

"Raider please..." Then it just cut off. Raider ran out of the elevator. Emotions running through him he ran down the hallway towards the direction where Luxa went through.

 

Luxa was firing at a much larger bug. She was clutching her side and had a worried expression on her face.

 

Raider quickly jumped onto the much larger opponent and fired his shotgun at his head. Then walked towards Luxa.

 

"You okay?" He asked her.

 

"I don't think so." She said. This time Raider couldn't sense any pheremones.

 

"Get back to the Ebon Hawk." Luxa nodded and limped down the hallway.

 

Raider ran back to the freight elevator. Noticing that it had 3 floors written on it.

 

"Lets find this lieutenant." He said as he pressed the second floor button.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Unknown World. Approx same time

 

Blank walked over to Helios's throne. Much of the throne room was encased in dark shadow and only his red eyes could be seen. She quickly knelt down infront of the throne

 

"Master Darth Traya had failed. She was beaten by the Helioschist."

 

"He is much stronger then I thought. Or much weaker..."

 

"Master please let me ask. Why do you not fight him yourself."

 

"Patience my apprentice. As the prophecy dictates I will fight the Helioschist when he is angered. Then I will strike." Blank quickly got up. She began to think about why Darth Helios was crediting the prophecy so much. It was written 20 000 years ago..

[Rev7]

Great job! That is generally all that I have to say, I really think that this story will win a prize or something because it is great! Keep it up!
