She was alive….she was alive! He felt so drained, but they had done it. “She’s alive.” He said weakly, watching as Kira’s chest rose and fell.
Nova:
“And then…when I bring you back…” She sobbed. “You will be the same age…and I will be fourteen years or more older than you. And that is even if I can bring you back…if it would be safe.” She kept her hand against the cold glass, feeling the scar that she had given herself when Sash had died the second time tingle.
“I know that you are still there…in my dreams…but you will never get to raise her with me. Sash…I don’t know what to do.” Tears ran down her eyes. “I got Shadow out of your mind, but that sent him to hers. How can I raise her as my own when she is Miriya of Shadow?” She finally took her hand off of the glass.
”I’m so sorry Sash. I failed…I couldn’t keep you safe, and I can’t keep her safe…and I feel so alone.”
(I gtg for the night! I’ll be on later tomorrow, maybe possibly for a few minutes at lunch time.)
@Iceberry (If you are talking about Sash, he is in Cyrosleep, Nova's attempt to preserve the body of Sash while she tries to figure out if there is a way to bring him back. She isn't sure if there is and I kind of can't remember exactly why it would be 14 years, I think it is to keep him safe from Shadow(But not sure). Shadow is now weakly possessing Miriya.)
He felt her chest move beneath his hand and he looked down. “Kira…?” He didn’t want to hope for too much…
Nova:
She walked into the small room, her gaze on the narrow pod on the singular table. She couldn’t see inside, but she knew that Sash was there. She set her hand against the glass, feeling the tears start to come. More than fourteen years…fourteen years…before I can ever see you again alive.
He was slouched over Kira, and he hurriedly sat back up, not wanting to squash her. The scar right above his heart was stinging, as well as his arm because San had been using the arm piece of his armor. His eyes traveled over to Kira’s face.
“Kira?” He said weakly, one hand on her chest and his other on the side of her face.
Nova:
”Thank you.” She met Allison’s eyes again. “And you too.” She cut off the light again and made her way down the hall. Hayes had put Sash into cryosleep, and now she was going to visit him.
He fell backwards, hitting the floor with a slight thud. He knew that he hadn't taken too much from Cosmo, but he couldn't be sure about Kevty and Kira...he had no idea...
Allison:
"Goodbye dear. Good luck on wherever life takes you."
She searched Nova's eyes, but all she could see was the trust for that man there. She couldn't understand how after everything he had done, she could trust him. How did she know that the plan was truly finished?
”I can take on that.“ Ever since Order 66, her life had been in danger, although very different from what Nasa faced. And besides, there isn’t anyone right now that I would trust more. Huh. I trust the doubler-crosser more than anyone else who is living.
She gave Allison the directions to the docking bay if she needed it. ”If you ever want anything from me, just ask.” Unlike Nasa and a few of the others, Nova had never actually been sworn into the rebellion…she didn’t have any true loyalties to Allison.
”Right.” She remembered the first time she had met Nasa. When she had escaped from Fotarah’s ship with Chex, and Nasa had…amputated Chex’s leg. But anyway, he had just seemed to be a serious medic…not someone who was an rebel disguised as an Imperial disguised as a rebel…someone who had lost their family because of that very decision.
”You don’t have to hide here, I’ll tell my father that you are alright. There’s a med bay if you want to…and a mess hall.”
She was stunned into silence for a second. Nasa had done this valiant thing…spying on the Imperials for the rebels…and his life had been wrecked in the process. “I don’t know how he was ever able to play loyal to the Imperials for so long…that must have been…”
"Poisoned by the empire." she said looking at Nova. "They didn't want anything able to be used against Nasa, so they got rid of his connections. His mother, father and two little sisters."
She bit her lip, taking out the amethyst key and rubbing on the stone to bring the light back. “I don’t know too much about Nasa’s family. What happened to them?”
"Before he had to put his life on hold to do what I asked of him, he had a family. Friends. A life where he thriving. A good reputation as a medic and a good reputation as soldier and friend. Now he is hated by all sides. His friends all dead. His family gone. yet there he goes, still going strong."
”I’ll bring Miriya, but I’ll go tell my father that I’m leaving.“ And Sash. She added silently. Maybe he isn’t alive, but he is still there.
Cosmo:
He was shaking as he felt his life energy draining from his body. Unlike what others had done before, he was trying to make it go faster, not holding back on anything.
He held onto Kira’s stiff body, his mouth wide in a soundless scream.
”I’m sure.” She would bring Miriya along too, and together they would keep her safe. Maybe not from Shadow, but from those who would want to hurt her.
Cosmo:
He felt the strain right away, and at first he fought against it, slowing the life force drainage to a trickle. But his hand was still over Kira’s heart, and he felt her chest stop moving. He opened himself up completely to Sa, letting the trickle become a raging river.
He looked at Nova, his eyes showing the determination that through the whole ordeal, never died. "I need...to stay low. But I'll only do that, if you will come with me."
Either way…Nasa was never going to be truly safe. She hated that. She hated it so much…and she knew that they would have to wait at least fourteen years to see Sash again…if the cryosleep made him stay the same age…he would be about 19, she would be 33, and Nasa would be the same as well.
She clutched the key tighter, trying to keep herself together. But nothing would ever be the same…
His eyes were gazing at the floor, his hand absentmindedly rubbing his neck.
Allison:
She turned her attention to Nasa, that same look on his face that was on his face when was going to prepare for the mission. Back then he had so much, no, he had lost everything.
"Every decision we make is a gamble. It may be better to let him fade away into the shadows of peoples minds. " she whispered.
(Cosmo getting captured is fine with me...but 15 years is a long time. If that happens, I'm cool with it, but poor Kira. I feel like they could spend that time away...with a promise held tight to their hearts to always find their way back...that would make Kira. 28ish and Cosmo 30ish...)
She nodded, looking at Nasa. Before she had met any of them, she hadn’t really had anyone. Now she had her small crew of close friends, while Kevty had her group of allies. Nova hadn’t realized how much her friends meant to her…it surprised her each time she thought about it.
”I don’t think telling everyone that Nasa is a double-crosser will have too many bad effects…but you never know.”
(I didn’t think you would kill her either! But how would you react if I told you that my current plan is Cosmo getting captured by Ryndi right before the 2 year time skip…it would let Ryndi get closer to the twins…but if we didn’t get Cosmo out before we time skipped again, he would be there for 15ish years…lots of development, but just sad…)
"I will do what I can. I want his name cleared for he has always been such a great soldier for the rebellion, but some sacrifices will be made in the search for freedom from the empire."
(She is going to make it. Not sure if she will have any lasting effects, but I promised my sister I wouldn't let her die from this.(I had her in tears when I told her that Kira wasn't doing so well.) She is completely and totally invested in Cora.)
”If you told everyone that he was a double crosser, it would make things better. Maybe not fully, but we all have the Empire after us and some people in the Rebellion as well.” But Allison was right…this wouldn’t be a solution to everything.
(You are always up to something. There is the plan with Shadow, which I don’t know all of, even though I’m getting a pretty good idea. And the riddle…we don’t know who stole it, and some of the phrases don’t make sense yet.
Another question…would you like to reveal if you are planning on having Kira living or dying? The short story that I was writing was going to have both past scenes, and future scenes (if things go how I am planning them))
Her smiled faded and she said. "he knew the risks. There is only so much I can do. I can declare him innocent to all crimes, but that doesn't stop people who hate him. People who he had to hurt from coming after him. It doesn't stop the empire."
She looked back at Nasa, confused. Had killing Fotarah been part of a grander scheme than she had realized? She looked back at Allison. “Maybe you could…clear his name? Everyone else thinks that he is a traitor.”
(That works! And it definitely threw me off…although it has made me much more wary now. I read comments a lot more carefully now...)
She looked at Nasa. "You did it?" She breathed then smiled at Nova. "Oh my goodness! He did it!"
(Right! And I think so, I think she was alone, wandering Mandalore for the majority of that.(Hence how I thought it would have been right for her to meet someone and begin texting him none stop(He was a character designed in my head to throw you all off of Nasa's trail...)
”I think that’s currently it…if I’m not forgetting anything. But we wanted to ask you what exactly Nasa should do now…we killed Fotarah so his cover there is blown…”
(Okay…that feels like so long ago! Would it be plausible to have Kira going on a walk alone, away from Kevty?)
”San has a clone named Lander, who is able to know what Shadow is planning. Shadow is climbing a ladder of victims, something that will take him at least fourteen years. But we don’t know exactly who each victim is, only the first one.”
”Kevty gave birth to San’s twins, but Miranda the Inquisitor stole them and has them right now. Miranda has access to a scientist who knows has to make parem, an addictive drug that can heighten a Jedi’s abilities to the max, but we have the scientist’s son. Fotarah is dead, Sash is…dead, Remy is dead again, and Shadow is dead but is taking other forms until he reaches his final victim.” She paused for a second.
She leaned into Nasa, unlike the others, trusting him fully and understand completely what he had done and why he had been forced to do it. "Tell me. I must know."
There was a doorframe here, but no door. She put her hand on the wall and peeked inside, but it was hard to make out anything. The reading had come in here, so there had to be someone…
”Hello? Anyone in here?” She stepped fully inside the storage room.
The first person turned out to be some random refugee, and so did the second. But the third led to a dark hallway, and it was hard to see in there. If Allison was hiding, this was where she would pick.
She looked at the map that her father had given her. “This way.” She pointed down a hallway. She didn’t know Allison too well, but she had seen her a few times.
The ‘shall we’ made her think that he was inviting to dance or something, and she chuckled at that. Of course it was what she would think of first, her head in the clouds in a winter ball. “Sure. It might be safest to go together.”
He was able to cancel out the few that he knew, knowing that Kevty, San, and most of the Impossible crew didn’t have trackers. That only left a few targets.
”If she is here, one of those has to be her. I know that she wouldn’t have a tracker.”
Her eyes were staring up at him, but she couldn't see. Her breath was coming in gasp and a tear traced its way down her face. She couldn't speak though she wished to.
Sure, they could give San a second, but did Kira even have that second left? He scooted over the the door and grabbed his arm piece from the stack of armor by the door. If San thought that he needed it, he could use it. Until then…he would make each second count.
He went back over to Kira and draped her over his lap, holding her close. “I love you.” He whispered into her ear. “I love you so much.”
Nova:
She felt a weird strain in her mind, almost as if San was doing something odd. It wasn’t affecting her, she was just aware of it.
”We need to find Allison.” She looked over at the screen that was against the wall in the office.
Hayes:
He pressed his hand against a pad and muttered a quick order, to scan the life forms on the ship and check for trackers. All of the guild personnel had one secretly sewn into their capes. It would be easy to track down who didn’t belong.
(Bye! I actually gtg too, I might be back tonight, but more likely, tomorrow. I should be on around 11:00am tomorrow! If we could wait until then (With Kira and Kevty and Cosmo and San) that would be great, but if not, that's fine)
She knew that she wouldn't stop San... not even if it meant her death. Her little sister had so much life left to live... she gripped the edge of the bed, struggling to stay upright
He ignored her gasp and focused on the feeling, trying to sense everything at once. "Cosmo...Pay attention to them." he forced out.
Nasa:
"I am not afraid of Shadow." he muttered looking Nova in the eyes. "I am afraid of letting my brother down. I swore to protect her, and that is what I am going to do."
He closed his eyes, still holding onto Kira’s hand. Please work…please work…
(My friend drew a really creepy picture of people getting their life force drained if you want to see it.)
Nova:
”You should know what you are getting into with Miriya…” She muttered, flipping to the sketch she had done of Miriya with Shadow in the background. “I’ll explain more later, but she is connected with Shadow…for at least 14 years.”
"I love you too." He shut his eyes, having to force himself to drop the fact that this was his wife. he felt the connection and pulled on it, instantly feeling the warmth flood into him and he redirected it to Kira.
Nasa:
he nodded. "We should try. Before we leave otherwise we may never get back here."
He wasn’t quite sure, because Kira hadn’t told him this part. He decided to make a plausible guess at it. “Focus on the bond between you two, since it is her wedding ring. Find that, and then give it a tug.“ He noticed a thin and bloody rim of red on Kevty’s neck, but didn’t say anything.
Nova:
She saw a pad on the wall and put her hand against it. “Nova Clayzer, requesting permission to access the ship’s cameras…” But the pad didn’t light up. “I guess Hayes hasn’t added me in yet…but we could ask him to check.”
his heart seemed to skip a beat as he took the ring in his hand and then took Kevty's hand in his and kept his other pressed against Kira. "Cosmo. What now?"
Nasa:
He nodded. "First place I went. Granted the Medic shooed me out faster then one could say Bucket head."
Amara: She nodded slightly. "For now at least, yes. We are all a family...together."
His hands stalled for a second as he did CPR, but he fought past the hesitation and kept on going. “Please.” His voice was shaking. “Just do something. My armor is right in there if you want to get it, or use Kevty. Just do something, San, we can’t argue.“
She rocked back and forth as she held his feet. She felt horrible that her son had to go through all he had, but she couldn't change it.
San:
He looked at Kira, "Whoever it is, we must do it now...whoever I use, I will ONLY take what will keep either one of you alive. If it is not enough to save her." He bit his lip and then said, "I'm sorry."
Nasa:
"Very little business here, but she wasn't in good shape when I saw her for that small window of time back on that blasted Imperial ship. I seriously doubt she could have gotten far."
”She’s not dead yet.” He could still feel Kira’s slight breathing beneath his hand. “You don’t have to go all the way. But every second we wait is another that makes it more difficult.” The fear made his mind feel clear and sharp, and he focused on using that.
Nova:
”There are many more rebel bases than the one that was blown up.” Her voice stalled for a moment, remembering the wedding…
”She could have gone to any of those. What business would she have in Dragon’s Bane, anyway? This guild is neutral in the war.”
(Next part out now!)
(So... how did Fotarah die?)
(Good Morning!)
San:
He lifted his head and looked at Kira feeling relief wash over him. he turned to look at Kevty...please be ok.
(Oh Nova...Sleep dear...Just sleep...)
Cosmo:
She was alive….she was alive! He felt so drained, but they had done it. “She’s alive.” He said weakly, watching as Kira’s chest rose and fell.
Nova:
“And then…when I bring you back…” She sobbed. “You will be the same age…and I will be fourteen years or more older than you. And that is even if I can bring you back…if it would be safe.” She kept her hand against the cold glass, feeling the scar that she had given herself when Sash had died the second time tingle.
“I know that you are still there…in my dreams…but you will never get to raise her with me. Sash…I don’t know what to do.” Tears ran down her eyes. “I got Shadow out of your mind, but that sent him to hers. How can I raise her as my own when she is Miriya of Shadow?” She finally took her hand off of the glass.
”I’m so sorry Sash. I failed…I couldn’t keep you safe, and I can’t keep her safe…and I feel so alone.”
(I gtg for the night! I’ll be on later tomorrow, maybe possibly for a few minutes at lunch time.)
Kira:
She took a deep breath, her skin returning to its color.
(Poor Nova...)
Cosmo:
He felt her chest move beneath his hand and he looked down. “Kira…?” He didn’t want to hope for too much…
Nova:
She walked into the small room, her gaze on the narrow pod on the singular table. She couldn’t see inside, but she knew that Sash was there. She set her hand against the glass, feeling the tears start to come. More than fourteen years…fourteen years…before I can ever see you again alive.
(So now…connection updates:
-Kevty is connected to San and Kira!
-San is connected to Kevty and Kira, and weakly to Cosmo!
-Kira is connected to San and Kevty, and weakly to Cosmo!
-Cosmo has weak connections to San and Kira!)
Allison:
She nodded curtly, her eyes tired and her mind foggy.
Kira:
her chest moved, slightly, as if she had tried to take a breath and then...
Cosmo:
He was slouched over Kira, and he hurriedly sat back up, not wanting to squash her. The scar right above his heart was stinging, as well as his arm because San had been using the arm piece of his armor. His eyes traveled over to Kira’s face.
“Kira?” He said weakly, one hand on her chest and his other on the side of her face.
Nova:
”Thank you.” She met Allison’s eyes again. “And you too.” She cut off the light again and made her way down the hall. Hayes had put Sash into cryosleep, and now she was going to visit him.
San:
He fell backwards, hitting the floor with a slight thud. He knew that he hadn't taken too much from Cosmo, but he couldn't be sure about Kevty and Kira...he had no idea...
Allison:
"Goodbye dear. Good luck on wherever life takes you."
(You are making me think that the plan isn’t fully finished…)
Nova:
She dropped her gaze, feeling a bit embarrassed. What exactly had Allison seen in her eyes? ”Well…err…I need to go.”
(Last comment for the night)
Kevty
She let out a groan, wishing she could beg him to stop, but Kira needed the life force
Allison:
She searched Nova's eyes, but all she could see was the trust for that man there. She couldn't understand how after everything he had done, she could trust him. How did she know that the plan was truly finished?
Nova:
”I can take on that.“ Ever since Order 66, her life had been in danger, although very different from what Nasa faced. And besides, there isn’t anyone right now that I would trust more. Huh. I trust the doubler-crosser more than anyone else who is living.
Allison:
She grabbed Nova with her boney hands and said. "Be safe dear. A life spent with him, will be a life in constant danger."
Nova:
She gave Allison the directions to the docking bay if she needed it. ”If you ever want anything from me, just ask.” Unlike Nasa and a few of the others, Nova had never actually been sworn into the rebellion…she didn’t have any true loyalties to Allison.
Allison:
"I need to leave. I have been away from the Rebels for far too long."
Nova:
”Right.” She remembered the first time she had met Nasa. When she had escaped from Fotarah’s ship with Chex, and Nasa had…amputated Chex’s leg. But anyway, he had just seemed to be a serious medic…not someone who was an rebel disguised as an Imperial disguised as a rebel…someone who had lost their family because of that very decision.
”You don’t have to hide here, I’ll tell my father that you are alright. There’s a med bay if you want to…and a mess hall.”
Allison:
She looked at Nova. "Traumatizing. hard. Scarring." she offered.
Nova:
She was stunned into silence for a second. Nasa had done this valiant thing…spying on the Imperials for the rebels…and his life had been wrecked in the process. “I don’t know how he was ever able to play loyal to the Imperials for so long…that must have been…”
Allison:
"Poisoned by the empire." she said looking at Nova. "They didn't want anything able to be used against Nasa, so they got rid of his connections. His mother, father and two little sisters."
Nova:
She bit her lip, taking out the amethyst key and rubbing on the stone to bring the light back. “I don’t know too much about Nasa’s family. What happened to them?”
Allison:
"Before he had to put his life on hold to do what I asked of him, he had a family. Friends. A life where he thriving. A good reputation as a medic and a good reputation as soldier and friend. Now he is hated by all sides. His friends all dead. His family gone. yet there he goes, still going strong."
Nova:
She watched Nasa leave through the darkness. “What do you mean?” She asked Allison.
Nasa:
He gently reached out and squeezed her hand. "I'll see you soon." he left and walked towards the docking bay.
Allison:
She sighed. "From all to none."
Nova:
She closed her hand back over the key, letting it flood the room into darkness. “I’ll meet you at the dock.”
Nasa:
He nodded. "I'll find us a ship."
Nova:
”I’ll bring Miriya, but I’ll go tell my father that I’m leaving.“ And Sash. She added silently. Maybe he isn’t alive, but he is still there.
Cosmo:
He was shaking as he felt his life energy draining from his body. Unlike what others had done before, he was trying to make it go faster, not holding back on anything.
He held onto Kira’s stiff body, his mouth wide in a soundless scream.
(Are you still here, Wind?)
Nasa:
"We are going to lay low." he didn't look away from Nova, "I would go say goodbye to your family."
San:
He was struggling to control the drainage from both, and gritted his teeth against the pain. He kept it under control and swallowed hard.
Nova:
”I’m sure.” She would bring Miriya along too, and together they would keep her safe. Maybe not from Shadow, but from those who would want to hurt her.
Cosmo:
He felt the strain right away, and at first he fought against it, slowing the life force drainage to a trickle. But his hand was still over Kira’s heart, and he felt her chest stop moving. He opened himself up completely to Sa, letting the trickle become a raging river.
Nasa:
"You're sure?"
Allison:
"There are few places you could go, and none is guaranteed to keep you safe. But it will be better then sticking around here."
San:
He shut his eyes once more and began the process once more.
Kira:
Her chest froze, no longer moving.
Cosmo:
He couldn’t hold back his tears any longer, and they came streaming down his face. He sobbed silently, his shoulders shaking. Please…
He pushed the arm piece from his armor over to San, bracing himself…
Nova:
“I’ll come with you.“ She smiled sadly. “I always will.”
San:
He gritted his teeth. "Cosmo...your armor." he scooted closer to Cosmo, reaching out to touch both Cosmo and Kevty. "Keep your hands on her."
Nasa:
He looked at Nova, his eyes showing the determination that through the whole ordeal, never died. "I need...to stay low. But I'll only do that, if you will come with me."
(here for a minute!)
Kevty
she looked at San weakly, “Take as much of my life force as you have to to save her. I’m not scared.”
Nova:
Either way…Nasa was never going to be truly safe. She hated that. She hated it so much…and she knew that they would have to wait at least fourteen years to see Sash again…if the cryosleep made him stay the same age…he would be about 19, she would be 33, and Nasa would be the same as well.
She clutched the key tighter, trying to keep herself together. But nothing would ever be the same…
Nasa:
His eyes were gazing at the floor, his hand absentmindedly rubbing his neck.
Allison:
She turned her attention to Nasa, that same look on his face that was on his face when was going to prepare for the mission. Back then he had so much, no, he had lost everything.
Nova:
”I’ll stand by whatever he wants.” Still holding the key in her hand, she angled it to better fill the room with light.
(Maybe just those two years then…it would just be so sad.)
Allison:
"Every decision we make is a gamble. It may be better to let him fade away into the shadows of peoples minds. " she whispered.
(Cosmo getting captured is fine with me...but 15 years is a long time. If that happens, I'm cool with it, but poor Kira. I feel like they could spend that time away...with a promise held tight to their hearts to always find their way back...that would make Kira. 28ish and Cosmo 30ish...)

”I don’t think telling everyone that Nasa is a double-crosser will have too many bad effects…but you never know.”
(I didn’t think you would kill her either! But how would you react if I told you that my current plan is Cosmo getting captured by Ryndi right before the 2 year time skip…it would let Ryndi get closer to the twins…but if we didn’t get Cosmo out before we time skipped again, he would be there for 15ish years…lots of development, but just sad…)
Allison:
"I will do what I can. I want his name cleared for he has always been such a great soldier for the rebellion, but some sacrifices will be made in the search for freedom from the empire."
(She is going to make it. Not sure if she will have any lasting effects, but I promised my sister I wouldn't let her die from this.(I had her in tears when I told her that Kira wasn't doing so well.) She is completely and totally invested in Cora.)
Nova:
”If you told everyone that he was a double crosser, it would make things better. Maybe not fully, but we all have the Empire after us and some people in the Rebellion as well.” But Allison was right…this wouldn’t be a solution to everything.

(So tell me...am I up to anything?)
Allison:
Her smiled faded and she said. "he knew the risks. There is only so much I can do. I can declare him innocent to all crimes, but that doesn't stop people who hate him. People who he had to hurt from coming after him. It doesn't stop the empire."
Nasa:
He let out a slow breath.
Nova:
She looked back at Nasa, confused. Had killing Fotarah been part of a grander scheme than she had realized? She looked back at Allison. “Maybe you could…clear his name? Everyone else thinks that he is a traitor.”
(That works! And it definitely threw me off…although it has made me much more wary now. I read comments a lot more carefully now...)

Nova:
”I think that’s currently it…if I’m not forgetting anything. But we wanted to ask you what exactly Nasa should do now…we killed Fotarah so his cover there is blown…”
(Okay…that feels like so long ago! Would it be plausible to have Kira going on a walk alone, away from Kevty?)
Terila:
She pressed a hand to her head and said. "This is all to confusing. Anything else?"
(I think...hm...she was there with Kevty. I think it was after Casser died...I could be wrong but I think that was the time she met him.)
Nova:
”Dragon’s Bane Guild isn’t too much of a threat now, at least to us.“ She replied honestly. “Hayes Shander, the co-leader with Terila, is my father.”
(I guess so? I just want to know what she was doing there so I can write a scene.)
Terila:
"They are here?" She glanced between them. "Do we just spend our free time at dangerous guilds now?"
(The first time?)
Nova:
”He is aware.” She looked back up. “He is with Kevty on Impossible, which is currently in the dock here.“
(So why was Kira on Mandalore when she met Cosmo?)
Allison:
"That would make sense." She whispered. "I'm sorry for your daughter, is San aware of this?"
Nova:
She looked down. “Miriya Clayzer, my daughter. For at least fourteen years. But we don’t know exactly who Shadow is after. I suspect San…”
Allison:
"And who is that?" She whispered realizing just how much she had missed.
Nova:
”San has a clone named Lander, who is able to know what Shadow is planning. Shadow is climbing a ladder of victims, something that will take him at least fourteen years. But we don’t know exactly who each victim is, only the first one.”
Alison:
She blinked slowly, taking all that in, "Alright...continue."
Nova:
”Kevty gave birth to San’s twins, but Miranda the Inquisitor stole them and has them right now. Miranda has access to a scientist who knows has to make parem, an addictive drug that can heighten a Jedi’s abilities to the max, but we have the scientist’s son. Fotarah is dead, Sash is…dead, Remy is dead again, and Shadow is dead but is taking other forms until he reaches his final victim.” She paused for a second.
Allison:
She leaned into Nasa, unlike the others, trusting him fully and understand completely what he had done and why he had been forced to do it. "Tell me. I must know."
Nova:
”So much has happened while you were…gone.” It would be hard to even find a place to start…
Allison:
"I don't know," She breathed weakly. "Couldn't risk it."
Nasa:
he walked forward and moved to support her.
Nova:
She winced slightly. Allison did not look to be in the best shape…
”You don’t have to hide here, Hayes won’t send anyone after you if I tell him not to.”
Allison:
She stepped into the light, her frame starved. Her face sunken. Her eyes darkened from being hit. "You're here."
Nova:
She took out Miriya’s key and rubbed the stone, a warm purple light filling the room. “Nova Clayzer and Nasa Metts, your allies.”
Allison:
She scurried to a better spot, but only able to see two dark forms standing in the doorway. "Who goes there?" She demanded.
Nasa: "it's her." he whispered recognizing the voice.
Nova:
There was a doorframe here, but no door. She put her hand on the wall and peeked inside, but it was hard to make out anything. The reading had come in here, so there had to be someone…
”Hello? Anyone in here?” She stepped fully inside the storage room.
Allison:
She were crouched in the darkness, trying to collect herself and let herself heal. This had turned out to be storage room so food was taken care of.
Nasa:
His hand hovered near his blaster.
Nova:
The first person turned out to be some random refugee, and so did the second. But the third led to a dark hallway, and it was hard to see in there. If Allison was hiding, this was where she would pick.
Nasa:
He nodded and followed.
Nova:
She looked at the map that her father had given her. “This way.” She pointed down a hallway. She didn’t know Allison too well, but she had seen her a few times.
Nasa:
He nodded, glancing at Hayes and nodding his head in thanks before he walked back out the door.
Allison:
She stood in a dark rook, trying to be as quiet as she could.
Nova:
The ‘shall we’ made her think that he was inviting to dance or something, and she chuckled at that. Of course it was what she would think of first, her head in the clouds in a winter ball. “Sure. It might be safest to go together.”
Nasa:
He nodded glancing at Nova. "Shall we?"
Hayes:
He was able to cancel out the few that he knew, knowing that Kevty, San, and most of the Impossible crew didn’t have trackers. That only left a few targets.
”If she is here, one of those has to be her. I know that she wouldn’t have a tracker.”
Kira:
Her eyes were staring up at him, but she couldn't see. Her breath was coming in gasp and a tear traced its way down her face. She couldn't speak though she wished to.
Nasa:
He watched, glancing at Nova.
Cosmo:
Sure, they could give San a second, but did Kira even have that second left? He scooted over the the door and grabbed his arm piece from the stack of armor by the door. If San thought that he needed it, he could use it. Until then…he would make each second count.
He went back over to Kira and draped her over his lap, holding her close. “I love you.” He whispered into her ear. “I love you so much.”
Nova:
She felt a weird strain in her mind, almost as if San was doing something odd. It wasn’t affecting her, she was just aware of it.
”We need to find Allison.” She looked over at the screen that was against the wall in the office.
Hayes:
He pressed his hand against a pad and muttered a quick order, to scan the life forms on the ship and check for trackers. All of the guild personnel had one secretly sewn into their capes. It would be easy to track down who didn’t belong.
Nasa: He looked at Hayes, his demeanor showing his worry.
(I am just going to respond to this...)
San:
He looked at Cosmo, "I'm so sorry." He pulled back, his muscles shaking and clutching his head. "Give me a sec." he whispered.
(Bye! I actually gtg too, I might be back tonight, but more likely, tomorrow. I should be on around 11:00am tomorrow! If we could wait until then (With Kira and Kevty and Cosmo and San) that would be great, but if not, that's fine)
Jax:
He slept peacefully for the first time in months.
Cosmo:
”Nothing at all.” He watched Kira’s face nervously. “Maybe you need to try two people. That’s what Miranda did to my mother to bring Remy back.”
Hayes:
He opened the office door and let them come in, his eyes quickly finding the bruises at Nasa’s neck.
(I gtg for a few minutes! Can we wait with Kira, Cosmo, San, and Kevty?)
Calore:
He began to scream.
Kevty:
Calore was set on the bed as she sank to her knees
San:
He pushed himself even further and said. "Nothing?"
Nasa:
He waited silently.
Cosmo:
“Still no change.” He put a hand on Kira’s heart, feeling his vision start to blur from tears.
Nova:
She led Nasa over to her father’s office and knocked on the door.
Kevty:
She knew that she wouldn't stop San... not even if it meant her death. Her little sister had so much life left to live... she gripped the edge of the bed, struggling to stay upright
San:
He gritted his teeth and continued, "kevty...Don't let me go too far." this process was draining, but he forced himself to keep going.
Nasa:
He nodded and waved down the hall.
Kevty:
She was panting slightly, her face pained.
Cosmo:
He opened his eyes, watching Kira. “There is no change in her yet.” He squeezed Kira’s hand tighter.
Nova:
”Thank you, Nasa.” She felt so much more relieved. “Let’s go to Hayes then. Maybe he can find Allison.”
San:
He ignored her gasp and focused on the feeling, trying to sense everything at once. "Cosmo...Pay attention to them." he forced out.
Nasa:
"I am not afraid of Shadow." he muttered looking Nova in the eyes. "I am afraid of letting my brother down. I swore to protect her, and that is what I am going to do."
Cosmo:
He closed his eyes, still holding onto Kira’s hand. Please work…please work…
(My friend drew a really creepy picture of people getting their life force drained if you want to see it.)
Nova:
”You should know what you are getting into with Miriya…” She muttered, flipping to the sketch she had done of Miriya with Shadow in the background. “I’ll explain more later, but she is connected with Shadow…for at least 14 years.”
Kevty:
She let out a gasp, was this how remy felt when he was giving his life force to his brother?
jax;
he drifted off
San:
"I love you too." He shut his eyes, having to force himself to drop the fact that this was his wife. he felt the connection and pulled on it, instantly feeling the warmth flood into him and he redirected it to Kira.
Nasa:
he nodded. "We should try. Before we leave otherwise we may never get back here."
Amara:
"Just sleep." She whispered holding him close.
Cosmo:
He wasn’t quite sure, because Kira hadn’t told him this part. He decided to make a plausible guess at it. “Focus on the bond between you two, since it is her wedding ring. Find that, and then give it a tug.“ He noticed a thin and bloody rim of red on Kevty’s neck, but didn’t say anything.
Nova:
She saw a pad on the wall and put her hand against it. “Nova Clayzer, requesting permission to access the ship’s cameras…” But the pad didn’t light up. “I guess Hayes hasn’t added me in yet…but we could ask him to check.”
Kevty:
"I love you." she whispered.... would this be her end?
jax:
he closed his eyes again, tired
San:
his heart seemed to skip a beat as he took the ring in his hand and then took Kevty's hand in his and kept his other pressed against Kira. "Cosmo. What now?"
Nasa:
He nodded. "First place I went. Granted the Medic shooed me out faster then one could say Bucket head."
Amara: She nodded slightly. "For now at least, yes. We are all a family...together."
Nova:
”The med bay, maybe?” She picked up her notebook from the floor. “Have you checked there?”
Cosmo:
His hands stalled for a second as he did CPR, but he fought past the hesitation and kept on going. “Please.” His voice was shaking. “Just do something. My armor is right in there if you want to get it, or use Kevty. Just do something, San, we can’t argue.“
Kevty:
She slid off her ring and held it out to San, "here. Use this."
Jax:
"Are we safe?"
Amara:
She rocked back and forth as she held his feet. She felt horrible that her son had to go through all he had, but she couldn't change it.
San:
He looked at Kira, "Whoever it is, we must do it now...whoever I use, I will ONLY take what will keep either one of you alive. If it is not enough to save her." He bit his lip and then said, "I'm sorry."
Nasa:
"Very little business here, but she wasn't in good shape when I saw her for that small window of time back on that blasted Imperial ship. I seriously doubt she could have gotten far."
Kevty:
"Stay with her, Cosmo." she said softly, "She needs you. I can do this."
Cosmo:
”She’s not dead yet.” He could still feel Kira’s slight breathing beneath his hand. “You don’t have to go all the way. But every second we wait is another that makes it more difficult.” The fear made his mind feel clear and sharp, and he focused on using that.
Nova:
”There are many more rebel bases than the one that was blown up.” Her voice stalled for a moment, remembering the wedding…
”She could have gone to any of those. What business would she have in Dragon’s Bane, anyway? This guild is neutral in the war.”
Jax:
He sniffled
