Star Wars: A New Dawn

Ford nodded noting the sizable Republic fleet in orbit. "Well seems like they don't want a repeat of Yavin."

Case dropped down and cowered her head, "so that's what you want? Two for the price of one? It's our powers isn't it? I should've realised. That's why I'm not dead yet. But there's no guarantee my mother is even a Jedi or anything important to you. Look if I join you, just forget all about her."

Nazrin stops what he's doing when he hears Angalacon's oath not to pursue the girl's mother. He practically gives Angalacon a look through the force.

"I can't imagine why," Jaxie says. "Those were good times."

"Yeah I loved losing all my stuff." Ford quipped as he flew the ship in to land at the Jedi Temple.

-----

"Ooh. But the best part was probably fighting for our lives. Remember that? That was fun," Jaxie says. "So now what?"

"We get you a lightsaber, and I meet with Master Skywalker." Ford said getting up.

"Geronimo," Jaxie says, following Ford out.

Case breathed a sigh of relief and sat herself down on the ground properly stretching her legs out. She had never felt more alone, and if she had the energy she would cry but she couldn't shake off the painful prang of regret. She now knew that she shouldn't had run off on the Jedi, her friends. Did they know she was missing? Surely they would come for her, but did they even know where she was?

She knew too that she had pushed the sith master as much as she could and didn't want to attempt it any further. Plus she had no energy left to take control of any one else, yet she begged that she would soon have enough energy to control another into giving her water. Her nose and mouth had just ceased bleeding but her clothes still showed the signs of it. She looked every inch a dirty mess.

Meanwhile, Trent took cover hiding as those from the ship searched the area looking for him and Arden. He prayed that she would be safe along with case. Just the thought of her made him worried. He knew she was in danger but communicating with her anymore would put him at risk and give away his location to any other force user.

"So any thought on a color?" Ford asked stepping out onto the landing pad.

-----

Angalacon looked a deck officer. "Set a course for the Capital." He said before reaching out to Narzin. I only said I would not look for her, you a free to as is anyone else.

-----

Jaxie shrugs. "I dunno. Blue, I guess," she says, following after him.

---

Nazrin is inactive for a moment, then returns to his work on finding the minister and the girl's mother.

"Fits you." Ford said heading into the Jedi Temple going down the hall towards the training areas.

"Been a while," Jaxie says, looking around as she follows Ford down the hall.

"Have you kept up with your saber training?" Ford asked.

"Among a few regular sword styles," Jaxie responds. "You have a strategy for taking to the big boss?"

One of the deck officers noticed a communication alert and signalled Angalacon.

"Our troops have tracked down two possible Jedis on the planet Weyn. We believe the ship they travelled on is the same one that went missing after escaping the Death Star."

Angalacon nodded. "Alert Lady Désir, the High Inquisitor will handle any rogue Jedi for conversion."

-----

"Of course I do." Ford smiled.

"Easily done sir," the officer replied sending the information to desir, "they should find the two very soon."

"Well, let's just hope nothin' else goes south," Jaxie says, continuing to follow Ford.

Ford entered a training room to find Master Skywalker waiting for them.

Luke smiled. "Ford, Jaxie it's good to see you both."

-----

Désir looked at her communicator seeing the message. She ordered a strike team of Sith Warriors to head to the world to investigate the finding.

"Oookay. That was creepy," Jaxie murmurs. "Hi."

"Little respect for the Grandmaster Jax." Ford said.

"It's quite fine." Luke smiled. "Leia informed me of what happened and I also know of your plans."

Jaxie rubs the back of her head. "Can't sneak anything past a real Jedi, can you?" she says, looking off to the side.

"Oh no you'd be surprised." Luke said.

"So I take it you don't want us to do this." Ford said.

"No I do. I share your concerns, there is a darkness about the Mandalore. I fear the Dark Side is resurging. Take Jaxie and anyone else who will join you and find out the truth behind this conflict."

"Wait, seriously? That was easier than I thought," Jaxie says.
