29 The Star Wars (1/2)
The Kazarak Slavery Cooperative's headquarters and its corpses were stripped of all of its value. The bodies were burnt, helmets of the 'deceased' were pinned upon the ground on top of broken vibroblades that had their hilts hollowed out.
The last C-9979 landing craft left the planet's surface after all forces began to withdraw. Valad was on the last ship off the surface. He was seated within the conference-esque looking room on board the landing craft. Staring into space as he observed 'The Star Wars' voucher which would give him a companion from that alternate continuum.
How would he explain all of this to the person? Would they have all their memories from the alternate reality? Solo was a Green Alien, Annikan had the last name of Starkiller, and Luke Skywalker was a Jedi General. There were countless people he could call upon, including powerful Sith or Jedi Bendu.
The question was though, did he want a powerful companion? Did he want to have someone who had intimate knowledge of the Force? Someone that could for some reason or another, betray him through the use of the force? He didn't know how limited this companion would be, but he had other ideas.
The body he inhabited was young, he already had a direct apprentice. He didn't want another one, even if it would help with him founding a Force Sect at some point. Establishing one wouldn't be all that hard, the only hard part was getting support for it.
”We're two kilometers out,” One of the Commando droids in the guise of a Mandalorian soldier reported in a casual tone with its arms freely hanging at its sides.
”Thank you, understood. Return to monitoring our course,” Valad ordered as he narrowed his eyes on the voucher, activating it only to see a handful of names from the eight issue comic series by Dark Horse.
”Roger, roger.”
He focused his thoughts on each name, seeing a description for each one which all matched his memory. However one caught his mind almost immediately, Leia. He skimmed over her description for a few moments and began to ponder. She wasn't force sensitive, at least from what he could see since the description didn't say she wasn't. ”Hmm...”
[ Leia, a fourteen year old spoiled Princess and Daughter of King Kayos and Queen Breha from the independent desert planet of Aquilae. Her homeworld and father were destroyed by the New Galactic Empire of Alderaan, after the Great Jedi Rebellion and emergence of the Sith Knights. Her mother and two brothers survive thanks to General Luke Skywalker. Note: If this voucher is used to summon her, she would have vanished before she was acquired by Annikan Starkiller shortly after leaving the Royal Palace. ]
”So if I were to take any of these beings as Companions... It'd be altering another Continuum?” Hecouldn't figure out if he wanted to laugh or cry. What was with this? ”I'll go with Leia,” whether or not that was the case, he just pulled an essential character out from another story.
Once he selected the spoiled Princess Leia from the planet of Aquilae, a crackling sound was heard within the room. ”What...?” Raising a brow he stared at the translucent black circle with glowing white edges appeared two meters above the conference table which was in front of him.
The size of the two dimensional shape seemed to be the diameter equal to an average human being's height, 1.7 meters. Suddenly a petite body flopped down on top of the table, dressed in a pretty white dress. Her brown hair was strung out behind her, her eyes were closed and her breathing was shallow.
Her appearance was similar to that of a much younger bright blue eyed version Maisie Williams, the actor who played Arya Stark in Game of Thrones, his by most favorite character in the series. His heart throbbed seeing her laid out on the table, unconscious.
[ Leia Aquilae acquired. Companion Function Updated. Standby for Awakening. . . ]
With a gasp for air, Leia shot up and quickly took in her surroundings until her gaze centered upon an unknown being. Narrowing her eyes on Valad, she felt safe with his presence, but who was he? ”Where am I? Who are you?”
After a few seconds of silence, she noticed something. ”Where's my handmaiden!? Where's my stuff!? My father will have your head for this!” She pointed at him with superficial rage written all over her face, scrunched up nose and blazing blue eyes.
Valad simply smiled watching her as she seemed to be in her own little world, panicking partially because he wasn't answering her questions. Though he would watch as she came over and started beating on him lightly with little slaps and pounding of the fist.
It was like looking at a little girl throwing a tantrum, and that was exactly what it was. From what he remembered, she did the same thing to Annikan Starwalker when he tried to bring her back to Luke Skywalker. Yet Annikan just knocked her out with one clean punch to the head.
”You're on a landing craft in the Kazarak System, we're going to be boarding my Flag Ship, the Imperius, in a few minutes. My name is Valad Katsure, a Noble of the Naboo. It is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance Leia.”
The spoiled brat stared at the man, slowly bringing her tantrum to a halt. The information clearly confused her. She never heard of a Naboo, nor has she heard of his supposed noble house. ”And my...?”
”Right, the New Galactic Empire, from your 'reality,' destroyed Aquilae. There's nothing left.” Valad told another lie as he had told before. However this was a convincing one, since she knew her father wasn't going to sign a treaty with the New Galactic Empire.
Her imagination reigned as her world shattered around her. Aquilae was gone. Her brothers were gone. Her mother and her father, the Jedi-Bendu bodyguards. She found herself droning over to a chair and slumping into it.
He brought up her companion status.
