[As the Fury floated in orbit Snowbund read through the datapacket, a large one, locked in the bridge alone. As far as she knew the droids that they had briefly facted on Arda were after not her but Cynthiana, that and the Mandos had given her information ? This was interetesting to say in the least. She heard, and then felt Cynthiana's sudden Force surge and then heard her screaming, Oh Sithshit.... What now ? Snowbund stopped her reading and stood up just as she heard a pair of hreavy thuds on the windscreen and stared at two droids....
ONG!
Cynthiana struggled to get herself calmed down, OK, it was OK, she was alright, the brief vision of the planet, the syastem, weird as it was, in Wild Space somewhere, Unlike Zakuul which she had hidden on for a few years to evade the Empire belonging to Plapatine before hiding on Kuat, her home world. She took a deep breath and tried to focus as resounding thuds were heard outside and above.
"I think we're going to have com...." She started to say when Kinara spoke, turning to her friend she shook her heasd concerning the holocron "I tried, and every time it just draws unwanted problems, Even when locked, it still lures others to darkness, I have to keep it garded until I can find a proper vault to hide it in. Until then I'm stuck with it." She was thankful however that Kinara did not yet ask how she defeated the three droids the first time as her hands went to her saberstaff before picking up the sack. Going through it carefully she found a item.
A tracking device.
Sithshit....
Spike was simply overjoyed to be with her boss, and best friend of all people, who seemed to know the boy, Jack Winters quite well, so when the suggestion of food was given Spike was all for it as her stomach growled, she felt like she could eat a horse, then again that was really all she ate in Skyrim, Horsemeat, wolf meat, and fox meat.
However it was the calling for the guards of Acara that got her undevided attention once again as Vitas ensured Spike was healthy and in one piece which she was, Spike, who before Vitas triggered her wings to grow in with magic, had a very slender build, ut with the addition of her wings, her body had to adapt in certain areas for balance, therefor, Spike was already well endowed before her wings, now greatly so
But that didnt matter at the moment. Spike then recalled that Acara had introduced himself as a Prince, but somehow she found it funny; the guy was a Prince of all things, yet.... he wasnt acting like one at the moment whatsoever. walking off without his guards for example. It made Spike snicker, about time she saw and spoke with a royal who actually didnt care to be such thing. Moast of the Jarls she met up with in Skyrim were stuck up stiff necked fucks that needed lessons taught to them. Like for example, Maven Black-briar.
Just thinking of that stuckup bitch made Spike inwardly growl and begin plotting, Vitas noticed the outward change in demanor however, though as Spike tried to remain polite she still ended up with a almost too good to be true look on her face. "What is it ?" Vitas asked her
"Its nothing just.... someone I remembered from Nirn, someone I.... want as a toy." Spike said in reply. Maven Black-briar.... as target practise. However her mind then refocused on food. and the fact that Vitas put something in her hand. Lifting the item she smirked, trust Vitas to always have the desired paperwork. Spike smirked again, her old Passport. she needed a new one apparently, the date was soon to end on it. "Im gonna need a new one of these" Spike murred softly in Arabic to her friend. Vitas just smirked.
Then she spoke up with a question "Is that BBQ place still on Eid Street ?"
Wolfbrown eyes went wide, it had been a year since she last saw Jack Frost, setting the boy free and shutting down the institute was one thing in and of itself, but to see him again. Without thinking she hugged him close. The words came in a rush but she nodded, most of it going over her head like how the Mirror Dimension worked. Not easy to explain if that. "The last I saw you was a year ago" Vitas said simply. "It is good to see you still alive, Master Frost" she pretty much gave him a title right then and there.
turning to Spike as Jack explained the situation she went thoughtful for a brief moment before nodding, it made sense. "That's one of the reasons I am here, a week ago on Denon Spike got sucked into a portal. I knew that this academy has prestigious mages to make portals of a certain strength so I came here for help on how to get Spike back." She stepped closer to the group and stood next to Spike, The outfit was intact, thankfully so, just colored differently. No matter, Vitas could fix that if Spike wanted her to do so.
Then she saw the condition of the womans wings, red was nice for feathers for sure! But when that red was blood.... "Not to worry, Second Prince. I think a derlay can be in order. If we rush, trouble may arise" Sure she spoke words of wisdom but sometimes that wisdom when taken literally, lead to more trouble. "Besides, in her condition, do you think Customs would want to see her ?" She meant Spikes injury.
Vitas held out a hand, a stream of steamlike energy stretched from her hand to Spikes ruined nose and began repairing it. Splintered flesh and cartilege was rebuilt as time reversed upon the wound. "It seems, Second Prince, that you aided me without thinking it.... Thank you" Vitas said to Acara.
There came a soft grunt from Spike as she started to wake up, her face tingled as Vitas healing magic and reversing what time did to her in the first place. bright eyes snapped open. "Did anyone get the number of the truck that hit me ?"
"Good morning sleepy head, you gonna sleep in or do you want a late brunch ?" Vitas asked
Snowbund had to stare at the droids that landed between her and Kinara and the way into the lift with Cynthiana below, Artefact ? Seriously ? She looked to Kinara who called down to Cynthiana, "Wait, you mean that old holocron from Moorja ?" Snowbund said aloud, Oh Sithspit! "You still have that thing ?!"
"What was I supposed to do with it ? Give it to the Sith when it wont work for her ? Of course I still got it, apparently it only wants t... WHOA!" A sudden lurcdh sent the tutrbo lift upwards and Cynthiana hit the floor of it in a heap as the lift shot upwards. She lifted up her head as she heard a thud from above, Kinara! was her only thought, the Holocron only answered to Cynthiana, as it had lured her on Moorja to its chamber, which then brought about the death of Master Thanos Riyec and her fellow Padawan.
When Kinara hit the roof of the turbo lift Snowbund flicked up her arm, using the Force as quick as she could to knock the droids away, her concern squarely on her friend. "Kinara!" Kinara was exausted. Yeah, they were headed off world for sure then! Using the force Snowbund slowed the lift as it neared the top floor, where her YT was kept as she picked up Kinara in her strong arms as Cynthiana used the force to jump ontop of the lift through the hole, sabberstaff in hand ready for use against the droids.
Wait, when did droids start using lightsabers ??
"There's no way whatsoever I'm landing in a field or anything! I just got this ship, you think I wanna wreck it already ?" Snowbund grumbled over the comm before hitting some more controls as the observation deck airlock pressurised and opened allowing Kinara and Cynthiana to see four lightsabers poking through the airlock door to cut it open "Please tell me they're not doing what I think they're doing ?"
"Yeah" they're doing it." Cynthiana said withdrawing her saberstaff and ignting one of the blades. There was not enough room to duel in this corridors of the CR90, yet it was spacious enough for their needs at that moment.
"I told you not to tell me that" Snowbund grumbled again and hit some controls. Ray Shields activated along the walls. they were lightsaber resistent and thus allowing the fight to comhence once the droids cut through.
"You may want to look into getting the airlock repaired as soon as possible though. Where's an earby station for such repairs ?" Cynthiana said offhand as she was once more thankful that Kinara said nothing concerning the Force Lightning yet. Just frying the tracking device alone with force lightning could lure Cynthiana to the dark side, but no.
"I said not to tell me about that!" Snowbund screamed. Fully rayshielding herself in the bridge. These droids however weren't after her, or her ship just something on it, something Cynthiana carried
