Eryal sighed.  "You were tying Master Rul's belt to one of the training droids as he lectured some newly arrived younglings."  The Mirialan shook her head at the recollection.  She heard Rin's statement and sighed at his words.  Well, she would have to go and help.  "Listen, Avutka, the Sith Lord is no longer here.  It's okay if you come out but do not leave this hospital.  The soldiers will be here, guarding every entrance.  You can go anywhere in the hospital as long as you do not leave the building.  Stay safe, Little One.  May the Force be with you."  She then turned to follow Rin.


---


Atali frowned as her master left her, then sighed.  She wanted to go find Avutka but... she'd at least try to do what she was told.  So the teen climbed off of the bed, got onto her knees, and closed her eyes.  It was difficult to fall into meditation.  All she could think of was the lithe Mirialan.  Oh, how she wanted to kiss her again...  No!  No...  She was supposed to be meditating.  The girl shook her head, trying to center herself, but no matter what she tried all she could think of was how soft Avutka's lips felt on her own, the warmth of her fellow padawan's body, the beauty of the teen.

Kaen raised an eyebrow at the zabrak that landed at her feet, levitating him with the Force and turning him every which way, as if inspecting him.  "Hmm.  You'll do, though we'll have to do something about that break."  She glanced at her apprentice.  "You've found me a Force sensitive toy.  We're going back to the Academy to put him through his paces."

Dargas whimpered when he was levitated in front of Kaen, curling into a ball in midair and doing his best to make him self as small as possible.  He focused his eyes squarely at a random point in the ground, and he refused to meet Kaen's gaze no matter how she turned him.

Ceth hummed in confusion as he felt his foot forced off of the Zabrak runt. He then hummed in acknowledgement when the runt fell over the edge, hearing the thud. Ceth inspected and found the runt was still alive and surprisingly durable. There were a few uses for that, most of them involving more broken bones. He gathered his pouch and the slightly dirty meat, jumping back down and softening the landing with the force. He rose lazily, stashing the pouch in a pocket as he pulled the tablet back out and resumed following the news, registering that she wanted to dump the runt into the Academy. "Okay." He, as usual, didn't quite care.

Devil 9 watched as the two missiles she thought had impacted already, get shot out of the air. 


Hearing the typical arrogant imperial give the standard get off our lawn message, caused Devil 9 to roll her eyes and shake her head. "Attention Imperial craft. The man you're taking into custody may be a republic citizen responsible for a terrorist act, and impersonating a Republic Officer." She checked her heading and distance, to verify they were within the agreed upon 12 mile limit, which they were. "And we're still within Republic air space." Her fingers rested on the fire controls, idly tracing them when Devil 2 whispered in her ear.


"We don't have enough left to take them all." He rolled his damaged Starfighter over the top of hers to emphasize the point, showing the empty bomb pods and one remaining missile. "But if you give the word, I won't mind blackening their eye."


'OH! That is tempting.... Maybe we could take out the ship the bastard is on...' She angled her ship to let her line up a manual shot, so as to not set off any warning systems the imperials might have. "Dueces, when I give the signal, give em hell, then run for base."

Another message crackled over the comms.


"Attention Republic pilot!  Leave Imperial airspace immediatly!  Failure to do so will be met with lethal force!"


Indicators on both ships informed the two pilots that the Imperial fighters had engaged their targeting computers and lined up a small hailstorm of ion torpedoes.  The ship that had collected Nah-Iblen had already taken off, snd was on it's way back to the Imperial settlement.


"You have ten seconds to comply!  TEN!  NINE!  EIGHT!"

Avutka relaxed, though she still squirmed a little at the memory of being caught in the act with Rul-Rul. He'd been such a cuddly old sentient, and he never seemed to mind when these things happened (or even be aware of it until later). The number of times he'd examined something that had mysteriously tied itself to him and said, "My, how did that happen?" She still smiled to think of it, but tensed again when her Master turned to go. "Master... can't I come with you?" She was on the point of saying she didn't feel safe there alone, but shied away from admitting to that. She had to be brave - wasn't she a Jedi? "It's alright Master, I'll stay put and..." she shrugged. "Try to meditate and find my calm. May the Force be with you." 


Suiting words to actions she settled into a cross-legged pose on the floor of the examination room, her palms upturned on her knees. She reached out along familiar mental paths, and found the serenel breezes of the Force and bathed in their light. Avutka felt the peace flow through her and wondered in a distant sort of way if she would see visions. She did sometimes, although she could rarely make much sense of them; it was like she was a leaf on the wind, catching scattered glimpses of times and places she barely understood. She was there sometimes as an older woman. Sometimes she carried a dual-bladed saber, and sometimes she carried no saber at all. This time she felt a gentle whisper and she followed it, feeling the wind current warm around her and the inchoate shape clear into... it was Atali, smiling warmly at her and opening her arms. In the vision of her mind she flew into the other padawan's arms and embraced her, relishing the comforting warmth of her beautiful body against her own. 


Through the white misty veils of the light side of the force, the two padawans' minds were drawn together once more.

Rin climbed onto a speeder bike outside of the hospital. He turned on the vehicle and played with the comms system until he turned to the hailing frequency for Devil 9. Without looking behind him to see if Master Itak bothered to follow, Rin twisted the accelerator and the bike zoomed forward in a blur.


Rin attempted to hail the pilot, "Devil 9, come in Devil 9, this is Jedi Peacekeeper Rin Chicri. I was informed that you might have engaged a Sith Lord I'm looking for, what's the situation?" As Rin's speeder bike increased to nearly maximum speeds, the countryside blurred together into one vaguely green palate. His excellent reflexes made it easy to drive at such speeds, especially on the grasslands. His bike only swayed to the left or right by inches to avoid trees, boulders, or unlucky animals. He rode like a man possessed.

'Great! Now they wanna do this.' Her finger started pressing the fire controls when a new voice crackled into her ear, her finger released the fire control before it could engage her weapons.


Her gut, the Force guiding her, told her this wasn't worth it, fight another day. It hasn't been wrong yet. "Dueces, break and scram. We're done for today." Yanking back hard and twisting the stick, the Fire Lotus Starfighter completed a back flip with a twist, and accelerated away from the imperial incursion forces. 


"Peacekeeper this is Devil 9. The situation is pfassked!" The level of frustration and hints of anger were clear in her voice. "The the kriffing imps seized your Sith Lord and are 5 seconds from firing on us in our airspace!" Her sensors told her Devil 2 was just below and behind her. She tapped a few controls as she continued. "Here are the 'nates of the incursion." The coordinates would appear on the display of his speeder bike, along with a double chime, he might not have heard due to his velocity.


On instinct, she rolled high and to the left. Just in case the imperials thought that they could get clear shots.

Kaen chuckled at the balled up zabrak.  "Look, Ceth, I think we have ourselves a new ball."  She 'bounced' him against the ground a couple times, mainly impacting his back and arms, before levitating him as they walked back toward the academy.  "I know you're bored but, at least this boy will give you someone to train with and at most he might be a new apprentice, if he shows enough potential.  I assume Trakus failed in bringing back Manara's brat?  Shame. I believe she would've given you a challenge in a fight."

Finally, Atali seemed to find her calm.  With it came a bit of a calling.  This was unusual as, typically, Atali was only able to clear her mind and rarely got anything else out of it.  As she heeded the call she saw, in her mind's eye, Avutka running toward her.  Smiling, she opened her eyes, embracing the younger girl tightly.  Within this meditation, within focusing upon the Force, she knew her feelings couldn't be wrong.  Oh, how she loved Avutka.  Yes, loved.  Perhaps it was not the way of the Jedi, but she had so much of this feeling within her.  Outwardly, she smiled, eyes closed.  Yes, this felt right.


"Avutka," she whispered.  Part of her wanted to draw out of meditation to go find the other padawan, but her master had bid her stay away.  For now, at least, she would.

Surprisingly, the Imperial fighters had not attempted to fire upon Devil squadron.  Instead, they'd simply taken their prisoner, and left.


Inside the figher, Nah-Iblen chatted idly with the pilot.


"Glad you boys showed up when you did.  I almost ended up splattered across the plain.  Tell me, why were you here.  This certainly wasn't Imperial airspace."


The Imperial pilot rolled his eyes beneath his helmet.


"You think the Empire wouldn't notice a Republic blockade around the entire planet?  Well, if they can encroach on our territory, we're going to do the same to them.  They can have their airspace back when their damn starships stop blocking our spaceports."

Dargas winced as he was bounced against the ground, but was otherwise silent the whole trip to the Academy.  He shivered slightly when he realized that was where they wee heading.  He'd seen the Acolytes going in and out, and they loved to make sport of hunting and killing the street urchins.  And then there were the rumors of a horrible monster that they kept locked in the depths of the Academy, one that wore the skin of a humanoid, and fed on sentient flesh.  He began to fear that they were going to feed him to the monster, and that thought made him feel light headed.


Wait... no... he was just passing out.

Several hours later, an alarm blared throughout the ship. Zerek awoke, groaning, in the midst of a bunch of scattered medical supplies. 'Ow... everything hurts.' He tried to push himself up, only to fall back down moments later. 'And my leg's asleep. Great.' After he got blood flowing to his leg and braved the sensations of a limb waking up, he took stock of everything. Why'nn was still floating in the kolto tank, healing from her injury. The reminder that he'd need to explain that to Delrick got him a little stressed out as he shut off the alarm from a wall panel. First off, he had to clean off the floor. Way too many sharp pointy things were still down there. It didn't take him to long to get everything off the floor and into drawers. Then, to relax himself, he popped off a panel from the wall, revealing a hidden crawlspace. Zerek quickly replaced the panel behind him and started moving through his ship's innards.


He quite liked the crawlspace within his own ship. It allowed him to go almost anywhere in the ship undetected, even the engine room if he wanted to if he could brave the loud humming from inside the walls. Instead of jumping down near 09, he instead dropped down into the bridge silently and looked out the giant viewport as his ship exited hyperspace. He looked out into the inky blackness of space to simply calm himself down, drinking in the temporary peace in his life. This was a point in space he used after rough jobs, completely devoid of anything except the stars. He stargazed for several minutes before walking back to the console and inputting the next set of coordinates, fully expecting 09 to start blustering from behind him.

Ceth very briefly looked up from his tablet to correct his course as he followed his master. The very idea that the runt could provide decent training had him mildly irritated. He'd already broken a leg, clearly he'd have to do it again until the runt proved a challenge. The mention of Manara's kid got Ceth to skim the newsfeed once more to double check. "Nothing. He got shot at by some moron. Left empty handed." He would have loved to have a challenging fight for once. Given that circumstances seemed to conspire against anything of the sort, he was going to wait until he was sent out on another mission before expecting anything close to a challenge. He completely ignored Dargas passing out as the neared the Academy, with some acolytes instinctively avoiding him.

Errin was somewhat dismayed, but the helmet hid it. What were these rules? He had never played by these rules before, and Ryoh hadn't mentioned it either. "Wait, wait." he said, exiting his battle stance as Illya left the field. Chukas intervention almost sent him on a frienzy of how confused he was. He let Chuka talk to her, and he must have said something that clicked because she turned back and entered the circle once more. Errin decided to listen first this time, and it seemed to pay off, as she explained the rules of engagement. He had never heard of winning by honor, this would be interesting. "I apologize, Illya. Not in my years of training and travel had I heard of these customs." He went back to the opposite side of the circle from hers.


When he did, he spun half-way to face her and entered his battle stance. "Your honor is proven, so you say when we begin, yes?" he said. In his eyes flames raged, and his mouth had morphed into a grin, but again, the helmet did not let this show. He was going to prove himself to these Mando'ade.

In the depths of the Force, Avutka often caught glimpses or sensations of all the myriad ifs that might yet be. Sometimes (often) she didn't understand what it was she was seeing, but as her Master told her this would come in time. So... what did it mean that she saw Atali? Did it mean there was a path that could lead her to the other girl's side? She didn't feel the sense of foreboding she usually associated with a dark side vision, just a sense of warm, glowing rightness as she slid her arms around Atali's waist and tucked her head in beneath her friend's chin. She closed her eyes and just basked in the moment for a time. This moment here. This... was paradise. Nestled in Atali's arms, she felt safe from any worry or doubt. Was this feeling what love was supposed to be? What path did she need to take in the present, to get here?


"Atali," she murmured, excited and happy. "I don't know how we get here, or what choices we have to make... but I will find you." She was still convinced this was a vision of the future; outside of the reach of the Sith's tampering, and safe to own up to her desires and feelings. After all, it wasn't like Atali would ever know, would she?

Kaen frowned slightly.  "You know, we're going to have to find a proper challenge for you.  Maybe we'll go off to find the brat ourselves, assuming she's still alive.  Would you like that, Ceth?"  As they got close enough to the Academy, the Sith sent the zabrak boy to a group of medical droids that would take care of him.  "To find a proper challenge... something or someone that wouldn't bore you so."

Illya nodded.  "You've spent to long away from your own kind.  We begin."  She dropped into a fighting stance and, once he indicated that he was ready, she stepped out, aiming a left hook at his face.  Her guard was up and her stance was sturdy.  Though she seemed lithe (and might well be), she seemed to hold quite a lot of power.

No, this was too perfect, she wouldn't stay away from Avutka.  Atali pushed herself off of the bed and hurried into the hallway.  She had to find Avutka.  It didn't take long, she wasn't far.


"Avutka!" the padawan cried, bounding forward and pulling the younger girl into a hug.  The ability to feel her friend's physical form again gave her such happiness.  Her smile was wide and she felt such peace and warmth.  There was no way this could be bad.  This wasn't the Dark Side.

Ceth kept following his master, eyes half-lidded as he browsed the newsfeed. The death toll was rather impressive, even if it wasn't a one-man rampage. He did nod in agreement as his master mentioned the need to find a proper challenge. He had chased rumors of the stronger acolytes with promising apprenticeships ahead of them. Dreams that were ruined when he challenged them and won almost effortlessly. One managed to trip him up a little, but the fight didn't last much longer. "Rate. 1-10." He wanted to see how strong his master thought the kid was before going hunting. He grunted in the affirmative at her final statement. He felt his skills dulling. Any further and the runt would be a match for him.

HK-50-01 kept his gaze focused on the deck , even as he rapidly nodded when given what he saw as a selection of available weapons. While he preferred the Sith tremor sword , he would gladly take any edged weapon he was allowed to use - even a 'dead' (that is , non-vibrating) blade as the Trandoshans so commonly produced. Were his gaze no so averted to the deck already , he'd have likely quirked his head at the thought of ever possessing 'glory' - a concept nearly as foreign to him as not being a Sith Lord's loyal servant. For what glory did those at the very bottom possess , other than that which they gleaned from their masters? The now only lightly trembling droid so very wanted to respond , but to do so seemed to be speaking out of turn , and perhaps even insolence - the Gray Jedi would be well within reason and his own rights to torture him for insolence of that caliber. 


Still , that thought couldn't possibly diminish Oh-One's joy at hearing that his opinion was valued. Quickly his posture straightened into a less servile stance , and his (now darker orange) gaze shifted back to the man - who's posture succeeded very much in it's intended goal of putting the droid at ease. If anything , it might have worked too well , judging by the excited tone clearly present in his electronic speech. "Affirmation/Gratitude : Oh yes Sir , I.. I'm so very honored you consider my own analyzations of worth , Sir. Nobody with your level of power has ever considered my view worthy of even listening to , let alone required! Thank you Sir , I'll never fail you again , I promise I'll always offer you my view on matters from now on! Thank you for valuing my views Sir.."  It would've had to be very clear that whatever it was he was going to say prior had been entirely forgotten.

HK-50-09 had grown even more displeased on remembering that there wasn't a well-stocked armory on the ship his organic brother operated. 'I HATE this fripping ship! We had better be going somewhere I can acquire more weaponry , or I swear I'll make that blasted Jedi's bones into weapons!' He felt the lurch out of hyperspace , and instead of finding a viewport to see where he was , he of course searched the ship for the Renagade - who , naturally , was nowhere to be found for quite some time until he decided to enter the bridge some minutes later.


Immediately , the dull silver droid began a long stream of indignant speech. Naturally , he didn't bother to direct his attention to the viewport to try to deduce a location - not that it would have him any less indignant. "Displeasure/Query : Oh , so you decide to hide from me instead of answering me when we finally do arrive? Where the Raxus ARE we , anyway - since I apparently wasn't worthy enough to know before now? And how dare you keep ME ignorant on matters , anyway - you're still lucky I didn't eviscerate you like I did to that one Dark Jedi! What was your idiotic reasoning on that foolish descicion , anyway? Did that fripping glorified Jedi in denial tell you to , or are you suddenly an idiot?"

Alashar arrived at the locked door to the hospital not long after. The reason for the lockdown was easy enough for her to deduce , although it was decidedly incorrect. 'Zerek probably tried to destroy this place , knowing how evil he is. The droid definitely did , if it's acting at all like it usually does.' Seeing the standardized remote receptionist terminal mounted beside the door , she pressed the button to be connected to the live receptionist. She didn't like interacting with the automated one - it felt so impersonal to talk to a machine instead of a living , organic being. 


After a moment , a ruggedly bearded and unkempt Republic soldier appeared on screen , not even bothering to glance at who he was speaking to - this had to be the fifth or sixth person who was asking for entry. Annoyed , all he said was "What do you want?" in a short , gruff tone. It was patently obvious he would rather be doing something - anything - other than being a glorified secretary. 


Of course , the Miraluka Shadow was unfazed by this , and answered in an ever-pleasant tone she normally used with those who were her allies. "Jedi Knight Alashar Beschatten , on a mission from the Jedi Order to locate a fugitive Jedi Padawan. May I have entry , Trooper?" 


The trooper's now raised glance immediately widened. It went without saying that his tone was now much , much more agreeable. "Apologies for my rudeness , Master Jedi. I'm afraid that I'll need to inform Master Itak of your arrival before allowing you entry , however. Lockdown protocols state that even other Jedi have to be vetted." He left as soon as the Jedi Knight acknowledged him , forgetting all about using a comlink. 


Alashar smiled and nodded pleasantly as the soldier quickly strode off to get the required permission from Master Itak. Admittedly , she was somehow looking forward to the possibility of seeing her old acquaintance  - friend was much more attachment than she would willingly form - from her Padawan days again. The two hadn't seen each other since before the war had started , and she always did enjoy operating with those she could trust. Though , being a fervent Jedi , she wouldn't allow that to become her focus by any means - the wishes of the Council always came first. 


After several minutes , an out of breath Republic soldier finally located the Jedi Master. "Master.. Master Itak , there's a Jedi Knight named Alashar Beschatten requesting entry. Should I allow her in?" He sorely hoped she would say yes - he had already disrespected the Jedi woman much more than he was comfortable with. Anyone with a lightsaber was someone he didn't want to be on the bad side of , Sith or Jedi.

Dargas awoke in some sort of pod, surrounded by a strange, warm liquid.  It made him feel sleepy and numb, and while anyone familiar with kolto tanks wouldn't be bothered by this, Dargas was only reminded of the paralytic vemons of certain animals that preferred to poison their prey, then wait until it was helpless to kill it.  So he began to claw at the glass, his nails leaving shallow scratches in it as he struggled pointlessly for freedom, not even noticing that his leg was healing.

Avutka was wrenched out of the heart of her force meditation by feeling of arms closing around her; yet she wasn't afraid, and as she returned to her senses she realized why. It was Atali, and the warmth of her, the scent of her felt perfect against her physical form. Enclosing the older girl in her arms she snuggled up to her happily, stretched up toward her lips and paused as reality sank in like a wash of cold water. She was young, and it took a monumental effort of willpower not to lean in to kiss her amazing friend speechless. It was impossible to release her and she didn't even try, but met her eyes with a gaze clouded by confusion and unhappiness.


"Atali... you're amazing, and you make me so happy just holding me and being here with me. I can't imagine how I got along without you." She shook her head, forcing the next words out. "But this is all so fast, it's all happened so fast... and I need to know it's real and not some filthy Sith trick." She looks down at her hands, stretching out her fingers and then closing them on the human's shoulders. "It feels real, and it doesn't feel dark or evil. But the dark side lies, doesn't it? I need to know it's real, and not wonder when I'm holding you if it's only because a Sith likes playing tricks." That hurt to say, and her unhappy gaze reaches out to Atali's own, pleading for understanding and forgiveness.

"Mmm?  The urchin?"  Kaen thought for several long minutes.  "Maybe a 3.  It depends.  If he shows something beyond the capabilities of a wild animal he might be of use.  Otherwise... he'll be food for the other acolytes."  She shrugged.  "Would you like to go into the tombs to fight some of the rogue acolytes or would that bore you too much?"

As the soldier staggered up to her, Eryal frowned slightly.  "Of course let her in!  Show her to me immediately!  We need to exchange information and get going.  Hurry!"  She knew waiting it out would be worth it.


The soldier, already out of breath, turned and sprinted back to the entrance, giving the order to allow the Jedi inside.  As the doors opened to Alashar, the breathless trooper bent in a slight bow.  "Master Itak said to see her immediately.  Please follow me."  He turned, intending to lead the woman further inside.


---


Atali felt her happiness rise exponentially and the feelings of infatuation and love mixed within her.  As Avutka stretched, going in for a kiss, Atali was more than willing to let it happen.  And then... the Mirialan stopped.  The smile faded slightly and as she felt the confusion within the other padawan, her brow furrowed.  The beginning of the statement and the truthfulness of it brought the smile back, though it was faint.  As the statement went on, the human's shoulders sagged and she looked pointedly away from the beauty before her.


Hurt settled in to burn in her chest as unhappiness whirled in her gut.  "Y-yeah," she finally murmured.  "Yeah, n-no.  That makes sense.  No, no, it's fine.  We should make sure it's not some trick..."  It wasn't fine.  After pulling Avutka in for a close hug, she extricated herself and stood, making, slowly, for the door.  "Um... Master Chicri probably won't let me see you again.  So... if this is the last time..."  Atali turned to look at the smaller girl.  "If this is the last time... um... I want you to know that nothing's ever made me feel like you do.  I don't want this to stop."  The girl took to hugging herself.  "But...  I won't do anything that would make you feel uncomfortable so... if you'd rather I leave I...I... I'll leave."

"Staying alive is the priority Devil 9. If they're already headed for imperial air space there isn't a thing we can do, he won't be able to escape justice forever." Under the surface of Rin's cold exterior, there was frustration and rage boiling up. The day was an utter disaster, Delrick fled the world, Alderaan was bombed and invaded and the Sith responsible escaped, his padawan arrived in time to distract him from his task of capturing Nah-Iblen as well as letting herself be influenced by him. He was certainly not looking forward to facing the Council after such a resounding failure. A perfectionist as he was, Rin always blamed himself for failures, anything other than that was an excuse, he didn't make or take excuses.


In minutes he was under a pair of Republic star fighters, high-tailing it back to the space port. There were no imperial fighters in sight. Rin killed the accelerator and turned his bike sideways as it floated to a stop. He stared into the distance toward the unseen Imperial settlement, which was miles away. He stared for a good while, the wind breezing past him as the tall grass swayed. 'He will not escape me, he will not escape the wrath of justice.' His eye folds blinked for a moment to hide the void of his eyes from the planet, before the black holes were reopened and he switched on the comlink, "Devil 9 this is Rin Chicri, I'm turning around and following you back to base." He finally broke off his distant gaze and leaned into the bike, it hummed to life and lifted off of the ground. He rode beneath the star fighters the entire way back to base.

Avutka caught one glimpse of Atali's face, heard the hurt in her voice and all her tough resolutions crumbled away. "No!" she cried, lunging forward with Jedi speed and wrapping both arms firmly around the human's waist, burying her face in the other girl's back as the tears start to come. "I'm not letting you go. Not like this, not when it feels like I'd never see you again." There was a desperate yearning in her voice - but a keen ear (like her master's) could still pick up that underlying confusion. She'd never felt this way before, and part of her still felt this was all so surreal - yet she couldn't imagine life with Atali any more, and she couldn't let her leave like this, hurting, feeling like she wasn't wanted. "I just... I just need to figure this out. I don't want to lose you. I'd die without you!" she sobbed, moistening the other padawan's robes. 


With none of the grace and poise that was a Jedi's birthright, the young Mirialan's legs went out beneath her; either drawing Atali down to the floor or hanging from her as part of a vague plan to stop her leaving. Ever. Or at least right now. "I don't want this to stop either. I just... I wish I understood? But maybe there's nothing to understand, and I just need to learn to accept it for what it is." Face still buried in Atali's back, her voice was a little muffled but still audible to anyone with even the rudiments of Jedi training. "We'll make them understand. We'll make them all understand, somehow. I promise." Her voice ravaged by sobs, Avutka fell silent once more and simply clung to the girl who'd suddenly become the star her life orbited.


What were they going to do?
 
Alderaan


@Greenbriar


Atali stopped as soon as Avutka cried out and lunged forward.  Tears began to stream down her cheeks as well.  As Avutka fell to the ground, Atali went down with her and moved to turn, wrapping her arms around the sobbing Mirialan.  "I don't want to leave you and I don't think I can live without you, either," she whispered.  "I don't want to bring you sadness.  I don't want to be the reason you're confused, but it's so painful to be apart."  She rested her forehead against the other padawan's.  "Yeah, that's what we'll do.  We'll make them understand."


The human girl kissed her love gently, relishing the softness of Avutka's lips.  "It's okay.  I'm not going anywhere.  And even if they take us away from each other... we can still send messages, talk on holo...  You're more important than any of the rest of this..."
 
UNKNOWN EMPTY SPACE


@HK Fifty


As if on cue, 09 indeed began to bluster his rage and inquiry at the only thing that could listen, Zerek. He simply listened to 09 while entering the last of the coordinates for the second jump. As the both of them finished their tasks, Zerek turned to his mechanical brother. "You know as well as anyone that sometimes I just like a little peace and quiet, especially after shit goes sideways. And I thought it was an Imperial Officer, not a Dark Jedi. Anyways, we're doing a few more random jumps until we get to our actual destination. And I'm pretty sure I haven't stopped being an idiot." He took one more look out the viewport at the empty space, taking a deep breath. "As for the final destination... where the more recent events started." With that, he felt the ship lurch once more as it rocketed to hyperspace, heading to point number two.

KORRIBAN

Ceth silently rolled his eyes as his master seemed to miss the point of his question. Still, he thought she was overestimating the runt. "Not him. The kid." If he was going to be sent hunting her down, his master's input could sway him to wait, or go now. The idea of looking around the tombs for acolytes would be a mere distraction compared to a possible challenge. However, some of them happened to travel in groups, which could provide a decent warm up. "Could get lucky. I'll check it out." He finished looking through the newsfeed a fourth time and stashed his tablet in his pocket once more, and turned to trek towards the tombs, not really caring if his master was going to follow or not.
 
Korriban

"Oh.  Hm...  Last time I saw her I'd put her at an 8.  Not the epitome of a warrior, but better than anything you'll find here."  Kaen watched her apprentice begin his walk.  "Let me know how it goes.  I have work to do."  The Darth turned and headed back into the Academy.  She had a few alliances to secure.  After all, if they were going back into war she needed to replenish her forces and bolster her credits.

Nah-Iblen sighed contentedly as he walked out of the imperial law enforcement compound, having been let go as soon as they figured out he was a Darth.  It was nice to be in a place where he was reasonably certain that he wouldn't be killed.


About an hour later, Nah-Iblen as at the Imperial spaceport, awaiting the departure of the next ship to Korriban.  While he munched on some sort of fried pastry on a stick, he pulled out a newly bought data pad and began to access his accounts.  And, a certain someone else's accounts as well.  It really had been helpful of Why'nn to give "Fali" the password to Manara's account.  Of course Manara had more than one, but stealing Why'nn's money was only a secondary goal.


When Why'nn other the alert that one of her accounts had been emptied, she'd love see that there was a message from an anonymous source, marked "for your eyes only" with instructions to "watch this alone".
