Errol chokes himself hearing what Sinas has said "Excuse me?!" he says before scoffing and laughs for the moment "Queen of the Night? Oh you mean my sister, right?"
***
"What is it, Alexander?" Korm asks through the comlink, wanting to hear what Alexander has brought for him about this interest he mentioned "What have you brought for me?"

"Jay Kay Reiko?" Korm mutters to himself thinking if this was the man who helps Kimberlin Boren and her sister, Samantha in raising Scrappy Onasi up "And where have you seeked this Jedi Master out?" Korm asks questionably
***
"What you want with her? Wait..." Errol says pausing for a minute "Your Queen of Night? Oh I get it... you admit you have a small crushes on my sister, right?"
Before Sinas can respond "Don't go any further, Sinas, I don't want to hear it. Revan is currently dating Sonas, and I do not appreicate the idea of you stalking her with Sonas days and nights... I wasn't expecting to have you abroad the flagship to help me find her..." Errol says

"Crush? Oh no, Errol...." Sinas says with a grin and leans into his ear and whispers "I am OBSESSED with her...."

Errol pushes Sinas away from him before pulling out his blaster pistol aiming at Sinas "If you ever think about touching her hair, I will kill you!" Errol threatens, "Stay away from her..."
“And if I don’t?” Sinas asks “She’s my Queen of the Night, and I will have her soon enough.”
“What’s your concern with Revan, hm?” Errol asks, “You’ve only just joined the Valkyries 2 years ago... and she wasn’t your commanding officer! And by means, Revan’s not your type of woman, mind you. She’s not your puppet to toy around with!”
“She’s mine, and she will ever be!” Sinas says, “And I will find her no matter what!”
“You will not get to her, Sinas, you stay well clear away from her! Just get out and go back to Taris until further notice” Errol warns. Sinas chuckles evilly before turning to leave.
“Oh, and Errol, I’m not going anywhere unless you let me place in your offer to aid you in finding my Queen of Night if possible...” Sinas spoke before leaving Errol alone. Errol clenched his fists together and snarls to himself in anger watching Sinas exited the room. Errol turns around and slams his fist onto the wall hard punching his fist against couple of times. Errol slams one last punch on his fist to the wall hard, enough for his knuckles to bleed more dry crimson blood from his small cuts on his knuckles. Errol hisses in pain, cussed out under his breath, slowly moving his fist away looking at the blood on his knuckles, he grimaces under his breath staring at it covered in his own blood mixed with Dark Eco into some sort of a crimson colour...
Errol faintly hears a knock on the door. He tends to ignore it but continues to stare at the blood on his knuckles for a short moment. Errol turned his head hearing another knock on the door and a voice heard “Commander Dakari, are you in here?”
“What?” Errol grunted asks not wanting to talk or see anyone at the moment. Then the doors opened, Sonas emerges in seeing Errol staring at his bloody palm covered in crimson blood. Sonas quickly rushes besides Errol gasping seeing the blood on his knuckles.
“Errol, what’s happened here?” Sonas asks looking at Errol’s hand. Errol shifts his arm away from Sonas. He looks away from Sonas for the moment.
“None of your business, Sonas...” Errol mutters wanting to avoid the subject “What is it you want?” he asks angrily. He felt that he just had enough of the troubles from Sinas ever since. Errol and Sonas had a dislike for Sinas recently, no wonder, why would Sinas, a vicious, obsessed power-hungry man joins the Valkyries stalking Errol’s sister for 5 years...
“Errol, is there something bothering you? I know that look for far too many times since.” Sonas protested staring at Errol. Errol growls a bit turning to look at the twenty year old man in front of him.
“And if I have? I rather keep it personal to myself, idiot” Errol says pushing Sonas out of the way, but Sonas stops Errol and stands in front of him. “Sonas,” Errol mutters, “If you don’t get out of the way I swear I will bloody lock you out of the airlock” Errol hisses staring straight at Sonas. Errol was Sonas’ best friend for 5 years ever since, both of them are like brothers and helped each other out various time in their mission. Sonas rather much prefer if Errol was his younger brother than his other siblings...
“Errol, I’m not going to stand around and make you tell me what’s the hell the matter with you!” Sonas protested “You can tell me, Errol, you won’t have to hide it, if it a problem...”
Errol looks at his best friend in front of him. Really Sonas was right, he could tell Sonas what’s bothering him, Sonas’ is his best friend and receive various helps from him countless times in their missions. Errol blew out a deep breath exhaling the smoke when he inhaled from his cigarette. He sat down, groaning and sighing heavily “Sinas...” Errol replied “He’s causing problems for us, right now”
“Sinas?!” Sonas asks in shock, Errol nods his head ever so slowly. Sonas growls, “ What’s he done?”
“What do you think?” Errol asks angrily not looking at Sonas “Stalking my sister more like, treating her like a puppet unlike what Sora Crowe once did... he even asks me to be in aid of my help to find Revan...”
“WHAT?!” Sonas bellowed out in shock, but deep down in anger of what his twin brother was been doing up to all this time. “He stalked Revan?!” Sonas couldn’t believe what he has heard and mutters to himself sounds as if was a vow “I’ll kill him...”

Korm stood still and turns to look at The Emperor "Want me to proceed further in eliminating the Jedi Master?" he asks The Emperor "I could use him as the bait into trapping the Eco Freaks and the other twos..." The Emperor gives Korm a slight nod as if to say `Go ahead with the plan’ Korm turns his attention back to the comlink and says into it “Keep him held back until I arrive, I want you to set up a trap plan for the Eco Freaks if at possible...”
“Right away, my Lord, and what of the Jedi Master?” Alexander’s voice is heard on the comlink.
“I will tell you more once I’ve arrived, Alexander...” Korm says before vanishing up in flames leaving The Emperor behind alone. The Emperor places an evil smile on his face chuckling, rubbing his hands together waiting for the moment comes once the Dakari Twins becomes Korm’s and part of his plan to succeed in claiming the Galaxy and rule it...
After leaving the Death Star, the flame is seen in the middle of the surrounding. There were few creates, boxes, footlockers and a Force Cage in the corner holding a Jedi Captive, Jay Kay Reiko, battled bruised and injured. The Krateths all turned seeing Korm appeared in the Cave Hideout. Alexander smirks switching off his comlink, walking to Korm bowing and greeted “My Lord Korm, I see you have planned up a trap for us to do for our next mission?”
“Yes, with the Jedi Captive, use him as the bait. I want you to set out a trap for three of our new targets for The Emperor and myself.” Korm says “Because of you, after your own son, I’m sure The Emperor has no uses for him, he’s all yours for now. And leave Errol Dakari to me, I will get my hands on him from The Baron afterwards. From what I’ve heard, your son joined forces with our two targets: one of them included, Revan Dakari. The Emperor and I want them two targets alive, no harm or a scratch.” Korm says, pointing to Alexander “Especially, Revan, not after what I’ve heard about her mind-wipe...”
Alexander promises on Korm’s words not to harm Ambika for him, the other Krateth family members obeyed with Korm’s orders, knowing Korm wanted the Goth teenager alive if possible. “Don’t worry, my Lord. I’m sure we come up with a trap plan out for them” he smirked, then ponders on who’s the other target “Forgave me, for asking, my Lord, but who’s’ this other target with my son and the Eco Freak?”
Korm turns to face Alexander before asking his question “The other target is: Scrappy Onasi”
Reiko’s head lifts up hearing the name of his Padawan for the first time in years since he last saw or heard from her “No it... can’t be!” Reiko gasped in shock and thought to himself, unable to hear any more. It came but a shock for him. “She’s alive!”
“She’s also wanted by The Emperor too, I want her alive, nothing else...” Korm says
“Of course, my Lord, everything is under planned as we could go for...” Alexander says smirking until Korm’s comlink beeped again. Korm growls under his breath. Can’t he just get a break from the comlink for now? Korm pulled it out of his pocket and activates it.
“Report...” Korm says into it. A female voice is heard on it.
“Lord Korm, I have reported to you that the Leviathan tracked down the Republic ship, the Tantive IV, it seems like we discovered they have stolen the technology data for the Death Star... you may find it surprising, Princess Leila Organa is onboard the ship” Gwen Krateth’s voice is heard on the comlink
“WHAT?!” Korm bellowed in anger hearing what he heard. He growls to himself “Capture that ship immediately, and don’t let them get away with the Death Star plans, and wait for my arrival once you capture that ship and kill the remaining Republic onboard. I want that Princess alive...”
“Right away, Lord Korm” Gwen says as Korm switched off the comlink.
“Make sure you use the Dark Eco tranquiller onto the Eco Freak...” Korm says.
“Yes my Lord, we will not fail you” Alexander promises, bowing to him.
“You better not be” Korm says before vanishing up in flame leaving Alexander alone with his family and Reiko in the cave...

Kenobi turns back to face Kreia Vance, after explaining to her about what happened to Ambika when she was killed in the blasted within the Valkyries. Kenobi lets out a deep breath “We have to create a new identity for her, you must understand that Revan was too dangerous to restore her wounded mind and her identity. We believe it was for the best to keep her real identity remain hidden and secure, I cannot afford to lose her to the Dark Side again if she ever finds out...”
“Has she received any memories of her past yet?” Kreia asks with one eyebrow up raised with concern. However, she knew a little about Korm of who and what he is. She knew he is Shin-Wan Kenobi’s Padawan and adopted son. Kreia was saddened with the news of Jinn’s fall, and the rises of Darth Korm killed the man Jinn once was.
Kenobi glances over his shoulder checking if Ambika wasn’t around to hear the private conversation with Kreia “Just small flicks of few flashes in her mind, she once told me of her mystery dream...”
“What dream?” Kreia asks
“The time when the Jedi Strike Team boarded Revan’s flagship, the Valhalla...” Kenobi whispers quietly “Plus her time as The Baron’s prisoner, the Dark Warrior Program, is all she ever recall” Kenobi says.
“Was there any other way to restore her wounded mind?” Kreia asks questionably, hoping if she could volunteer to heal Ambika’s mind.
“That would be unwisely to do right now, there’s no other way to restore her mind. Her mind is covered with vast darkness and shadows, even because of her Dark Eco she has in her blood. Like I said, Revan was too dangerous... it’s seems impossible for any of us to heal her identity. Aenin Kylini has requested to create a new identity for her for her own safety... Much as Revan’s powers nearly killed Aenin and Nios Kylini...”
“What if I try and restore her wounded min-?” Kreia asks before Kenobi finishes off for sentence.
“You would be killed by her Dark Eco...” Kenobi spoke looking down to eyed the ground, until he heard Ambika yells to call out his name. Kenobi looks up wondering if Ambika has founded some evidence or something that will interests him. He takes a glance looks at Kreia in front of him “Please, I don’t want her to return to the Dark Side if she ever find out about it... I can’t afford to lose her again...” Kenobi turns to leave the area he was in and enters into the courtyard area, and sees Ambika bending to her knees as if she could found something. “Yes, Ambika, my dear, what is it?”
Ambika points to the bloodstain on the green grass, a small pool of red blood is shown in front of Ambika and Kenobi’s eyes, there also few blood seen onto the rocky stonewall in front of them, much to Ambika and Kenobi’s surprising, the blood as it look like it has Dark Eco due to the alter colour of crimson blood. “It looks like someone was ambushed...” Ambika says from what she could vision it in her mind. “Why this Enclave abandoned? Where are the other Jedi?” Ambika asks, much questions were left unanswered for both Master and Padawan unravel to discover more of the investigation of the Jedi’s disappearance. Ambika roses up and turn to face her Master “Would you think if this Kreia woman saw what happened?”
Kenobi agreed with his Padawan’s suggestion, he turns around seeing Kreia entering the courtyard, watching and eying her seeing the state of the mess and how much the Enclave was destroyed and abandoned...
“Maybe we could... it’s worth a try to find out from her” Kenobi says he steps out forward, clearing his throat preparing to ask questions for Kreia “Um, Kreia, we may need to talk to you...” Kenobi says, Kreia turns to face the old man and the Goth teenager in front of her.
“Yes? Have you come with questions?” Kreia asks, in a low calm tone of voice.
“Well, we need to know about what happened to this Enclave, and you’re the only survivor left here. I’ve assumed if you have seen what happened to this Enclave or the Jedi?”
“From what I’ve seen, I take it you two already known of those Bounty Hunter family of the Krateths?” Kreia asks, both Ambika and Kenobi give each other a glance “I saw this man, with his imbecile wife and children, arrived, killing ambushing the Jedi down like animals. They are nothing but scums, and I know that they are currently resides with the Darkons after they betrayed the Geonosian” Kreia explains “From what happened before, only Master Yedo escaped Dantooine safety, leaving the rest of the Jedi to dealt with the Bounty Hunters alone, but failed miserably, the Jedi are dead, murdered brutally and killed by those Bounty Hunters. However, they took one Jedi Master alive with them, claiming to be their own Jedi Captive for the Darkons...”
“Who’s this Jedi Master is?” Kenobi asks with concern.
“Goes by the name of Jay Kay Reiko. Why like?” Kreia says
“Isn’t he Scrappy Onasi’s teacher? What happened to him, where did they taken him to?” Kenobi asks
“Yes, he is her teacher, and sadly, I do not know of their hidden location and where they held Reiko in...”
“There’s something we must do!” Kenobi says thinking.
“We could track down that blood traces...” Ambika suggested. Kenobi turns to give his full attention to Ambika “I’m sure Phantom could sort that out and use some traces from that Dark Eco blood or that bloodstain, if likely...”
“Maybe that’s could work after all...” Kenobi says, reaching down into his pocket checking if he got any small cloth, and pulled out a clean white cloth, approaching towards the pool of blood and wet the cloth with wet liquid of blood visible on the cloth. Kenobi, with Ambika and Kreia follows him close, heading to the Astro Megaship. Walking up the ramp, Ambika yells out to get Phantom’s attention...

"Yes, Ambika?" Phantom asks as he comes to the boarding ramp
"I need you to investigate some blood, due to a dissappearance of a Jedi Master...." Ambika tells him as Kenobi pulls out the cloth
"Of course." Phantom says and follows them out
Phantom walks into the courtyard after closely examining the cloth, and Kenobi says "Here is a pool of blood, left by the bounty hunter Krateths....."
Phantom begins to examine the blood, and after a moment looks at Kenobi and Ambika "They meant to leave this blood here...." he concludes
"What?!" Kenobi asks in shock
"Yes, this blood...after some close examining with my technology...I can tell it wasn't cut from some crucial place in his body, and the way the blood is arranged....they wanted us to find this....." Phantom explains
"I expect it a trap...." Ambika says
Phantom nods slowly, and says "What doesn't make sense to me is...why would they use another Jedi Master to lure Ambika into a trap?"
"Perhaps Korm is after Scrappy as well, Reiko was her master...." Kenobi concludes "Korm is a tricky one, you never know what he will try next to get who he wants."
"My Master is right, but I never knew he would want Scrappy...or why...." Ambika says thinking
"We must be careful, and not let anyone fall into Korm's trap!" Kenobi warns
"We must also tell Scrappy, and the crew incase of any more traps...." Phantom says
Ambika sighs "But Scrappy will want to go rescue her old mentor. She is a very stubborn woman...." she tells them both
"Well we will just have to keep her from not going after him! It would be too dangerous!" Kenobi exclaims
"Yes, Master, I know. Don't worry perhaps I can speak to her, but she still seems to be upset with me over the Dark Warrior Program...." Ambika tells Kenobi looking at her mentor
"But that was not your fault." Phantom interrupts
"She will come around, I am sure." Kenobi says "But for now we must not let her try to save Reiko, because if Korm gets ahold of her she will be in serious danger."
"For now, we should return to the Astro Megaship..." Phantom says as he looks back at the cloth "I can examine this with some advanced technology there and see if we can get any traces, for now I just needed to look at the full pool of blood...."
"I agree." Ambika says
As they turn and begin to walk off, Kenobi looks to Kreia and says "Are you coming?"
Kreia nods slowly, and they all head off and a few minutes later walk back up of the Astro Megaship, and Phantom heads to the Bridge with Ambika, Kenobi, and Kreia following closely...

Villamax hums to himself spinning around on the chair he sat within the Bridge. He seems to enjoy relaxing on the chair, looking around his surrounding. The Shadow was in his chamber alone for peace and quiet. Villamax continues to hum a song where he once listened to from the music on the radio many times.
“Hey, Villamax does this ship carry some vodkas, yet?” Logan asks with a moan, desperate for a drink, however Villamax snorts at Logan, even The Shadow has forbid him from drinking too much of alcohols for time being. “I needed it, Villamax!”
“Sorry buddy, you heard what The Shadow said, no more alcohols”
“d**n you, Villamax!” Logan muttered “Can’t you get it for me. Just a small glass of vodka much appreciated... I pay you back”
Villamax raises his hands up looking at Logan giving him a fake sad look “No can do, buddy, I cannot take any offers now” Villamax smirks “I rather pay for one my own, and of course just for ladies only” Logan let out a jealous growls before leaning back against the chair, scowling and complains under his breath. The footsteps were heard walking into the Bridge, there were three people enters in. “Why hello stranger” Villamax smirks
“Hey boys” Ambika greeted to Villamax and Logan. Logan didn’t look at Ambika but instead he sat and sulks on his chair. Ambika snorts seeing Logan into a sulky mood “What’s with him?” Ambika asks referring to Logan.
“Him?” Villamax asks looking at Logan, he snorts and glances back at Ambika, “Don’t mind the Emo kid, he’s sulky because he merely missing his babes back in Earth” Ambika shakes her head at Villamax and Logan, before trying not to laugh “He's mentally deficient. And he drools.”
Logan looks up from his position hearing the last sentence from Villamax, he spun around his chair glaring at his friend. “Hey!” he yells. “Oh! No fair, I can’t believe I have to leave them for THIS!”
“Don’t get your hopes up to high, sonny boy, because you find lovely women along your way, and hook up with them...” Villamax smirks as Logan growls at Villamax. Villamax chuckles before turning to look at Ambika holding back her snicker. “Well, enjoying your scouting out there?”
“Maybe, but it seems abandoned by the time we even just got here” Ambika spoke “Oddly, we need to investigate a thing come up for us. You guys remember we encountered the Krateth Bounty Hunters before? They raided the Jedi Enclave and captured one Jedi Master alive; I found some traces of blood within there. Phantom is currently checking out those blood samples before trying to track down their location. We need to come up with a plan, however, it will be a trap”
“So you’re saying this Jedi Master was captured by the Krateths?” Logan asks questionably listening to Ambika.
“Yes, there was no battle scene of harming this Jedi Master there, they were meant to leave a pool of blood I’ve found earlier. I believe they are setting myself, and as well Scrappy, into some sort of a trap. I don’t know what Korm wants with Scrappy even her mentor was captured. But for now, I think it would be wise that if Scrappy should remain here for further notice... I do not know whether it’s a good idea for her to rescue her own Master because of the trap set out for her too... Scrappy’s stubborn, she’s most likely getting herself into trouble many times over... This is tricky, the Krateths are not very pleasant and even gotton stronger than they were before...”
“What about that Krateth boy in here?” Villamax suggests referring to HK47Fan “He’s a Krateth, unfortunately, how about if he seek his help for this plan we need...” Ambika stood frozen for the minute thinking. Should it be a good a good idea for Ambika seek HK’s help while coming up with a plan?
“Hmm, would it be wise to have him involve with us to rescue the Jedi Master?” Ambika asks Villamax and Logan.
“You knew him, he’s your rival. He’s redeemed, perhaps, he should have a chance to pay you back for when you saved him from the Spambots back in Earth...” Villamax says. Ambika sighed knowing she has no choice but to ask him a request to aid her in the mission.
“Fine. I’ll talk to him...” Ambika mutters before turning around to leave the Bridge and sets off to look around for HK, with that, she stops and caught a glimpse of her eyes seeing HK in the lounge area, seeing him relaxing. She walks in looking down at her long-time rival, burying his head in his hands, sighing heavily. “Don’t tell me you’re under the weather, Krateth...” Ambika says looking down at HK, as she sat down in front of him…

Scrappy nodded at HK's answer, obviously none of them knew who the smuggler was, he just happened to fall into their midst.....quite literally.
" Oh well, I'm outta here! Catch you later, when I've slept alittle!" She said, waving a good bye as she walked out of the room, to find the dorms. The problem was the ship was so big, it was hard to find where they were.
As she walked, she just hoped she didn't walk into a room and catch anyone naked, that would be embarrasing.
Continuing to walk, she felt a disturbance, as if something wasn't right....as if something was being kept away from her. Being who she was...she was curious to find out what exactly was going on.
Instead of heading for the dorms she walked on, towards the boarding ramp, peaked out side to see Ambika and others heading her way, there were two other people she hadn't seen before, obviously newcomers to the gang, to her they looked like jedi, whcih made things a bit interesting but also, worrying at the same time.
Thoughts ran through her head, What if they were coming for her? after all these years of being a rogue and causing havoc among the galaxy, what if these were the jedi after her? She would never know.
Ducking behind some large containers near the entrance, steathily hiding herself away, she sat there and waited for the group to enter, to see who and what they were here for.

HK looks up at Ambika and sighs "I'm fine. Now if you do-"
"We need to talk." Ambika tells him
"What could you possibly want to talk to me about?" HK asks
"Bosha ki tota leea(What an boob.)" Ambika mutters in Demon Tongue but HK does not hear nor understand Demon Tongue and she responds to his question "Its time you re-pay me for me saving your a s s back on Earth."
"Excuse me?!" HK says in shock
"I need your help...." Ambika tells him as she lowers her tone to a whisper "To rescue a Jedi Master held captive by the Darkons...."
"A Master is being held captive by Korm?!" HK says in shock
"SHHH!" Ambika hisses "It is actually Scrappy Onasi's old mentor....Jay Kay Reiko..."
HK gasps in shock and asks "Are you sure?"
Ambika nods slowly "She will panic and go rogue on us if she finds out, so I need you to help us rescue him before she can find out...Phantom is running a trace on his location now...."
HK thinks for a moment, and sighs "Fine, I'll do it for Scrappy...and to re-pay you for saving me...its hard to argue with you anyway so I'll just give in...." he says
Ambika smirks "I see you came to your senses, Krateth. Now come on, no time to lose..."
Both stand, but little do they know someone was listening in to their conversation!

The Shadow spent his time in his chamber alone for peace and quiet, which is good for him. Dwelling on the death of his wife who lost her battle to cancer, The Shadow closes his eyes hoping not to think of anything more of his wife. It hurt him more, making him going into deep depression. He avoided it, shaking his head clearing his thoughts out of his mind. While being informed by D.E.C.A, arrived in Dantooine in time, after mediating for hours. The Shadow took in a deep breath and sighed relaxingly and relieved. He roses up from the crouching position, staring into the horizon before walking out of the chamber, he walks pass the lounge where he saw Ambika and HK together in the room, seems like he could tell they are talking about something, obviously The Shadow is not surprised watching two rivals in a discussion, he could tell them in his eyes and mind they could be arguing over a disagreement or something. He noticed the ex-Spambot Agent is all calm and non-violent than he was once before he saw him countless times. He narrows his eyes and thought it is best that he should leave it to both Ambika and HK alone...
With that, he walks off to make his way into the Synthetron area where he saw a smuggler guy with his Wookiee companion, he glances over walking both of them talking into a small discussion, sitting on their chairs by the table, drinking Corellian whiskey. Zekk looks up seeing as The Shadow enters in the room he took a slip of the whiskey pursing his lips, before turning his attention back to Lowbecca, his voice turned into a whisper quiet hoping not to let The Shadow hear. “Wherever we go, we find those credits to pay back Zotta the Hutt otherwise I’ll end up a dead man if I don’t get the credits for him” Lowbecca lets out a low soft growl at Zekk, nodding, scratching his head feeling if he has dandruffs in his fur. Zekk rolls his eyes at Lowbecca for the moment before turning to eye The Shadow. “Hey, old man, want some Corellian whiskey?”
“No thank you, I am fine” The Shadow replied in his polite calm manner.
“Suit yourself...” Zekk replied, taking another slip of drink again, until The Shadow turns to face him, from what he could see, Zekk looks very scoundrel to his eyes of how he describe him. The Shadow approached forward sitting in front of Zekk and Lowbecca staring straight at them.
“It’s seem you stowed away in my ship, I guess we never been introduced before...” The Shadow says, extending his hand out to Zekk “I’m The Shadow, former leader of the Underground”
Zekk narrows his eyes and shrugs extending his hand out to shook The Shadow’s hand “Zekk Solo.” Zekk removes his hand away and pointed his thumb to Lowbecca next to him “This is my friend, Lowie. I see you got yourself a pretty nice ship”
“The Astro Megaship” The Shadow asks, “She’s a fastest ship you ever encounter, you know I don’t ever do applying to have passageners onboard the ship except for the Underground members to acquire this ship”
“Astro Megaship?” Zekk asks again in surprised liking the sound of the name for the ship “I like the sound of that”
“I take it you never heard of the Astro Megaship, I assumed?” The Shadow questioned, with raised eyebrow, staring straight at Zekk.
“Listen, old man, I only known much of Corellian ships than the ones you have back in Earth. I don’t know much about this ship unfortunately” Zekk spoke raising his hands up in the mid-air.
“Are you a pilot?” The Shadow asks hoping if he could request Zekk to pilot the ship if he ever with him and his companions in the quest to save the Galaxy from the Darkons and the Spambots.
“You could say that if that you’re thinking that” Zekk says “I’m more involved into smuggling missions than having go around in war from each planets to planets heading into a battlefield...”
The Shadow snorts before chuckling quietly, he leans back against the chair, crossing his arms over his chest clearing his throat “Oh, so you’re a smuggler I guess?” Zekk looks up and nodded.
“I’m no big fan of the Empire” Zekk commented, not liking Darth Korm and The Emperor “Good thing, I never had the Darkons onto my tails ever in my life”
The Shadow chuckles “I known what Korm is like before. What’s made you came to Earth?”
“Crashed down, lost my ship, had to force to find a ship along with that kid and the babe here onboard” he explains referring to being helped with HK and Scrappy. “This is the only ship we have to came on because of reasons back in Earth...” The Shadow smiles and chuckles a bit.
“You’re lots are welcome to join us. I tell you what, how about if I requested you something, which you may interested”
“Request?” Zekk asks, sounding interested hearing what The Shadow have to say for both the smuggler and the wookiee. Zekk shifted his weight on the chair gripping his hands together paying attention to The Shadow.
“We need experienced pilots like yourself, if you’re interested, we’ll be happy to offer you positions if neccesary” The Shadow says looking at both the smuggler and the wookiee who both glanced at each other. “Of course, I have one experienced pilot only but I believe if you two are up for it, and of course besides Phantom, I take it if you two are mechanics too?”
“Yes you are correct,” Zekk says, and nods slowly “Alright, We’re in” Zekk says with a c o c ky smile on his face before spoken again “Oh on one under condition… Sir”
“What condition?” The Shadow asks pondering on what Zekk also wanted for himself and his comrades for towards Zekk and Lowie.
“We get payed” came a reply from Zekk. Zekk’s grin grew wider and looks back at The Shadow, imagining the reaction from the old man once he told him about the payment he expected to have.
"How much you want?" The Shadow asks
“Well that's the real trick, isn't it, and it's gonna cost you extra. Ten thousand, all in advance." Zekk says
The Shadow narrows his eyes, believing if Zekk need a lot amount of money for Zekk, he could tell if Zekk was in some sort of debts problems or something. The Shadow then use his persuavise tone of voice, hoping if he give him his offer “We'll pay you two thousand now, plus fifteen if you using this ship well.”
“Seventeen, huh?” Zekk exclaims with shocked and surprised. How could he thought The Shadow pay him much credits for him and Lowie for the jobs they requested for “Okay, you guys got yourselves your new pilots.”
“Welcome abroad the Astro Megaship” The Shadow says with a grin “We need all the helps we can get from you two. Talk to Villamax at the Bridge, he will show you around before you get onto piloting, he will be helping you than having you two doing the piloting yourselves alone. And of course Ambika is a pilot too, she could be any use of a service for you two if needed” The Shadow stands up from his chair turning to leave Zekk and Lowie alone to themselves.
Zekk turns to face Lowie with surprised “SEVENTEEN THOUSANDS?! Hell, how did that guy afford carrying such credits like that?!” Zekk spoke before taking his final slip of his Corellian Whiskey before rising up from his seat “Come on, Lowie, let’s make our friendly welcome to The Shadow’s friends...” Lowie gives a soft growl and follows Zekk out making their way to the Bridge.

Above in the reaches in the Outer Rims, within the Tatoo system, orbited above the planet Tatooine, and a Republic cruiser, Tantive IV, taken several hits during the space battle assault by the lead Darkon Capital ship, The Devastator, continues to firing the Tantive IV in order to capture the ship. An unwitting instigator to the battle was the disguised corvette Tantive IV, being used as an important vessel in the Republic fleet, most notably in the operation to steal the Death Star plans.
The theft of these plans successfully occurred during a distracting Republic prisoner revolt on the Death Star, being supplemented by partial documents stolen during the Battle of Danuta and the Battle of Toprawa. Immediately, a Darkon assault on a makeshift Republic base on Polis Massa was initiated, being tasked with retaking the stolen plans. This, however, failed in recovering the lost schematics. The next attempt in the recovery effort involved the Emperor's feared enforcer, Darth Korm, with Second-In-Command, Gwen Krateth, in charge until Korm’s orders taking his legion of Imperial storm troopers to where the Tantive IV was harboured—within the Tatoo system.
A woman stands on the bridge staring down at the Tantive IV been under attacked. Darkons Second-In-Command, Gwen Krateth, hisses losing her patience as she prepares herself to capture the ship until Korm arrives. She turns around roaring in anger as an order “KEEP FIRING!” the soldiers did as the best they could do firing at the Tantive enough for the Republic to give up “Set the tractor beam onto that ship, immediately!” Gwen says to the Darkons Admiral “I want that ship captured and surrender the Republic dogs!”
“Yes, my Lady...” The Admiral obeyed before turning his heels walking away from Gwen leaving her alone, giving commands and order. Within moments later, Gwen notices the Republic ship shook as the tractor beam caught the Tantive IV under their grasps in time.
“Finally, I have you now...” Gwen mutters with a smirk, turning around walking along the large platform, approaching back to the Admiral “Send the troopers onto that ship for an assault, Lord Korm want every single one of them to be capture including the leaders within that ship, especially Leila Organa, I want her unharmed and captured alive...”
“Right away, my Lady” the Admiral says watching Gwen walks off...

After leaving the lounge area, Ambika and HK walks their way towards the Bridge, not aware of themselves that one certain person who eavesdropping on HK and Ambika’s conversation. Neither of the rivals spoke one word or two they didn’t even look at each other. Ambika enters in the Communication Room only to be greeted by Kenobi, Villamax and Phantom within there.
“Oh, has the tide changed between the two of you?” Villamax commented with a smirk seeing HK and Ambika entered.
“Just drop the act, Villamax, this is a serious mission.” Ambika says glaring at Villamax “Found the location of the Jedi Master yet?” she asks
“Yes, according to my technology, tracing the blood out of the location, he’s here in Dantooine, but it seems like he was hidden away in some sort of a cave...”
“The Crystal cave...” Kenobi ponders “Which cave did he held captive there?”
“It seems like there are different entrance to each caves but I believe it was at the North-West from this Enclave, it’s not that far” Phantom says
“Located at the Grove” Kenobi says, rubbing his chin “Now that interesting, those caves are known for some such traps and even there are Kinraths are adapted within this Force-Sensitive cave”
“Kinraths?” HK mused until he turns to look at Ambika as she spoke to reply to him.
“Kinraths are poisonous appendage coming out of their faces that they used to attack things” Ambika says “I don’t know about you but you know me, Krateth, I’m immune to poison” HK gulps a bit fearing if he doesn’t have to encounter the Kinrath and to avoid the poison from them. “I wonder why the bounty hunters use caves like that one in Dantooine, I would of thoug-“ Ambika was abruptly cut off by HK.
HK chokes on his voice hearing the word `Bounty Hunters’, he then jumps in to interrupt Ambika “Wait, did you say bounty hunters?” he asks looking straight at Ambika.
Ambika glances over her shoulders and replied, “Yes, I did said bounty hunters. We know them, the Jedi Master was captured by the leader called Alexander Krateth” HK’s eyes widen in shock, standing frozen cold and silent...

Inside the Tantive IV many Republic troops rush throughout the halls of the ship past many droids, as they crouch in position ready for the Darkon boarding....
Two droids, C-3PO and R2-D2, walk throughout the halls as troops rush past them, and Threepio says "Oh dear oh dear...the Darkons are boarding the ship! We're DOOMED!"
"Beep boop bop(Oh calm down, Princess Leila has a plan...)" R2 beeps
"Don't be so sure! If they find the princess there will be no escape!" Threepio says as they continue to walk on
"Dweeet doooo dwoooooooooooooooooot(Oh please do shut up, Threepio...)" R2 tells him
"WELL!" Threepio says insulted
***
A woman in a white dress with a hood over her head slowly walks through the halls near the escape pod and engine room, that are very small and narrow. She has a disc in her hand as well as a blaster safely tucked in her pocket...
She constantly looks to make sure no one sees her, and continues to sneak through the hall, leaning against the wall...
***
The Republic Soldiers in one of the white halls crouch down, pointing their blasters at the door. The ship is heard as it is tractored into the Devastator, and they stare nervously at the door....
Suddenly footsteps are heard on the otherside, and a Darkon troop takes out his blaster on the other side as they begin to blast through the door to enter the Tantive IV.
The Republic Soldiers are still but suddenly the door is blasted open and the Darkons rush in firing at the Republic Soldiers and the Republic Soldiers quickly try to fire back at the Darkons, but many Republic soldiers get hit and die as few Darkons do...
As more Republic Soldiers begin to get hit by the Darkons' blasters, the last ones stand and begin to back away quickly, firing at the Darkons as they run but the Darkons run after them firing wildly....
Threepio and R2 come out of one of the narrow halls and Threepio leans back in suprise as the Republic Soldiers come running and the battle continue, and he yells "HURRY R2!!!"
R2 quickly rolls across the white hall fast and Threepio follows as fast as he can as they go into another narrow hall...

“Problem, Krateth?” Ambika asks, seeing the shocked expression on HK’s face, which Ambika knows all too well.
HK cleared his throat “What?! Erm.. NO!” HK lied, not wanting Ambika or anyone in the room to find out he once had major problems with the Krateth family. However, HK remembers how he once betrayed his father of the actions he recently did, and even made HK feeling guilt and sadness of why he no wonder why he is wanted dead by his family. He wanted his dark deep secret about him and his family remain a secret. “No, I don’t have a problem at all, I’m just surprised with the fact of the Jedi Master captured by the bounty hunters”
Ambika narrows her eyes at HK, believing he is hiding something from her and the others in the room, but she thought it is best she should drop it and leave it for now. Ambika looks away and spoke “It’s not surprising, the bounty hunters captured the Jedi Master as part of the plan, more likely a trap to be honest. Even because they know we are here, they were meant to leave those blood at the Enclave...”
“A trap?” HK asks with concern “Bounty Hunters are sure known for making traps” HK mutters ”Unlike my family...” he thought in his mind.
Ambika turns rolling her eyes, putting her hands on her hips “It is unknown why Korm wanted the Jedi Master captive but I’m not sure what is he wanted Scrappy for and of course, he spent his time after my tails, and now he wanted her too. This unknown why he is interested in her...”
“That why we to find out more once we rescue Master Reiko soon as we can” Kenobi spoke “We must be cautious, I believe those trap come unexpected we will encounter...”
“Well duh, Master!” Ambika says, “I can deflect some traps within those caves, which comes in handy for the lots of you”
Kenobi raised an eyebrow at Ambika “You never changed, my dear” he says rolling his eyes
“I have my reasons” Ambika says with a grin. “Besides, if you don’t like the idea of myself deflecting the traps for an old man like you” Ambika says in her mockery tone “How about if I get you onto the airspeeder throughout into those traps blowing it up and you get permission for your early retirement, more care, nurses, good quality of foods and beds available for you into the care homes? Oh yeah, you get an accident insurance if you blew up your legs. How’s that sounds?”
“Very funny, my Padawan” Kenobi says shaking his head, looking at Ambika grinning. “And I decide if I will get my retirement soon enough. IF I say so. You sound worse than your brother! Come on, let’s just press on for the moment...”
Ambika snorts, “Errol’s a pain!” Ambika commented. She turned to face Phantom for the moment “You’re coming?” she asks.
“Sure, I’ll be gladly to join you” Phantom says, as Ambika glances over to face Villamax, wondering if he could tag alone.
“Er, nah, you guys just go along without me, I’ll just stay here and protect the ship...” Villamax says. “Sometimes, I just feel like I needed a nap right now” he says pretending to stretch himself and yawning.
“Suit yourself, you’re missing out the fun” Ambika says with a smirk.
“Oh don’t worry about it, Ambika, I will dread on it, it’s just I want to rest my back” Villamax says.
“Have fun resting” Ambika says smirking, and walks out with Phantom, HK and Kenobi. Before she heads to the boarding ramp, she stood still calling for her demons: Kita and Ox. While still waiting for them, they arrive and follow Ambika.
“What happened to this Enclave?” HK asks in shock seeing it is empty and abandoned.
“This is remain a mystery, boy” Kenobi says, “The Krateths bounty hunters ambushed and raided the Enclave murdering the Padawans and the Jedi just before we even just got here...” HK looks around him, feeling sad over hearing about how his family murdered countless innocents making him more depressed and ashamed of his family of what they are. He thought of his father a vicious animal that never cares for victims and innocent people, not like the same goes to the bloodthirsty Eco Demon of Ambika’s.
Walking out of the Enclave, they began walking throughout the grassy plain fields. It is rather beautiful and peaceful. Ambika smiles liking the area but however it’s not similar to her homeworld, Naboo where they are many forests, waterfalls and such she most fond and loved for. HK never took his eyes off Ambika’s left eye for the moment; he could tell it is different to Ambika’s right eye. Ambika glances over caught HK staring freaking out at her left eye. “What the hell are you looking at, Krateth?” Ambika asks.
“Nothing… it’s… what happened to your left eye? It looks different to your other eye” HK spoke wondering about Ambika’s left eye.
Ambika sighed stops in her track looking straight at HK. “What is your concern, Krateth?”
“Hey, I’m trying to be a friend here not a foe. I want to end our rivalry, Ambika. I just don’t want to fight anymore with you. Look you saved me back in Earth and what am I doing for you, hmm?” HK says, while Ambika glaring at him, before he could say something, Ambika cuts him off.
“I don’t need friendship, Krateth,” Ambika says coldly “And I never will, we hate each other, remember, we challenged each other in countless battle many times. Don’t ever make me to settle our rivalry, Krateth, because it never going to happen. But of course, even you have redeem, so yeah we may or may not help each other, but hell, we still have unfinished business so far...”
HK snorted, and smirks a bit “You’re a hard woman I ever met in my life”
“Oh? I may be that hard and tough enough. You eventually grew tired of it, Krateth”
“I didn’t say I will” HK says. “I’m used to threats from you...”
“Aww, that’s the real Krateth I’ve once know before...” Ambika says smirking, continuing to walk on.
“What you need from me? Blackmail?” HK asks
Ambika chuckles softly “No, not blackmail. Didn’t say it was. Unlike if it’s such a big deal for me to make things tougher for both us now. A girl got to do what she has to do, seeking revenges, putting up for a good fight towards a cute guy like yourself...”
“Did I ever said you’re the most beautiful human being I ever met?”
Ambika stops glancing over to look at HK, before snorting “Don’t push your luck, Krateth, you have your own lass...” Ambika says referring to Talia, which HK once cares for. HK looks down remembering Talia. He hates that he has to leave her after he on the run from the Spambots
“Talia...” HK whispers to himself quietly, he was unsure if he still loves her, or wonders if she is mad at him after he left the Spambots. HK looks at Ambika; he never took his eyes off her for the moment. In his eyes he stares in awe at her beauty, she looks very beautiful even without the Sith Tattoos and the paler skin.
“As for your concern about my eye... I don’t think you’re ready to hear my story, but you find it disgusting...”
“How so?” HK asks
Ambika stops turning to face HK for the moment, moving her finger to point at her left eye “My eye was torn out during that chaotic battle against that God of Sand, I was left to dead, dying lying there on the ground with my left eye removed from the socket, felt like I ended up losing my eye forever” Ambika turns to follow the others through the grassy plains.
HK gasps in shock hearing what he couldn’t believe from finding out Ambika’s eye “Oh I’m sorry, Ambika”
“Don’t be Krateth” Ambika says angrily “I don’t need your sympathy, thankfully, I managed to imprisoned that guy in Egypt for good. But this eye changed my life forever” Ambika says, “I was saved and had my left eye replaced with the `Eye of Horus’. Pretty cool isn’t it, gets to have wicked techniques...” Ambika says until they reached at the Grove, they stops seeing the cave entrance ahead in front of their eyes. “Yloivn qas ito lepanty (Here comes the best moment)” Ambika says in her Demon Tongue, smirking, turning to look at HK “Got weapons with you, Krateth?”
HK looks around himself noticing he only have a blaster pistol but nothing else, he pulled out a blaster pistol showing it at Ambika. “Only this...” he says.
Ambika rolled her eyes, moving her hand to her thigh, pulling out a dagger from the belt around her thigh, shoving it at HK “Here, you can have that, I have no use for them now”
HK took the dagger in his hand, looking at it and managed to smile looking back at Ambika “Thanks…”
“Oh don’t bother thank me in the future, Krateth” Ambika says angrily glaring at him.
“Suit yourself, woman” HK muttered under his breath, only to be received another glare from Ambika. He give her a sly smile “Lead the way, Ambika” Ambika shakes her head and shoves HK out of the way heading towards the cave entrance...
