Rebel Scum

[Raal]

He knew they were going to laugh at that, and it was fine with him. Raal needed to iron out a few things, that's all. He smiled in response to their inner giggling. The demon bowed again, "You're welcome."

He nodded to the both of them in acknowledgement, "If you need anything, just call. I'll be repairing Hallowton... again...."

Raal vanished as quickly as he had arrived, in a purple flash.

[Exit Raal]

[Saasha]

Kissira watched Raal leave with idle eyes. Now she could speak freely, for the most part. Though she was anxious to gget somewhere a bit safer. She was fairly certain that Ira would not return that day, but she didn't want to take a chance. On top of that, Kissira was not sure which Ira that had been. She knew that Ira had recognized her, but there was something in her former Dark Lady's eyes and movements that said that she was not the Ira that the woman had last seen. And because of the inter dimensional time warps, it had been only around two months since Kissira and Ira had last met, so there was a chance that this Ira was in fact the one she knew. No matter now, however.

"It would seem more and more people are arriving by the day. Makes me wonder if anyone else from my old dimension has been pulled here." she mused idley. "What happened here?" She had already formulated the situation out in her head but she wanted to hear it from the source.

”That could be a good thing if your kids ended up here. You could all go back together.” he said trying to offer some encouragement to her. Although at the same time with what she had told him it could very easily go both ways. He frowned though. Although he hadn't seen any from his realm, he had to wonder if they were here or not. ”She came in asking to join the Resistance, but her story seemed off. I got this...odd, feeling from her. After that I started to try to find out what she really wanted from all of this. And then, well.” he eyed the area. It was obvious what had happened after that.


”Her skills were all far beyond my own. What exactly is your realtion to her?” he asked. He started having doubts. He needed another way to fight as well. His eyes breifly trailed to her sword. ”I know you're helping me learn because I'm helping with your ship, but even after it's done is there any way you'd consider still training me. I can use this to protect people, but....” he trailed off looking down. ”If I go and get myself killed it's hard to protect anything....” he said trailing off.

The silver-hair female exhaled slowly. It was not out of pain or sorrow, but simply the shear weight of all of the memories coming back to her. So many of them. Isafaro was going to be in for a major loss in population. "Remember that I told you I used to be a Sith? Now remember that I said she used to be a Sith Lord? Take a guess." That woman had been one of the most important people in her life. Ira had been one of the only two people in the entire Sith order that she ever took orders from. All of the other members, even the highest masters, were nothing is Kissira's eyes. But this woman- this Togruta had been her role model.

But that didn't matter now. Time's had changed and no longer was Kissira the same power-lusty woman she used to be. No, she had learned much since those days. In fact, it was likely that she would meet the woman again in the future. That would certainly be interesting.

"To be certain, we had a deal, Kira. Am I am nothing if not honorable when the time calls for it. I will train you. But, I cannot guarantee anything beyond that. I will do what I can for you know, but to train you sufficiently enough to accomplish what you wish will take time. Perhaps more time than I can offer- but that can be remedied even if I leave. In either case, I am afraid I cannot give you an answer at the moment. But I do give my word that I shall train you to the best of my abilities while I am here."

If remaining here would prove to be the key to getting her children back and rejoining her husband again, then staying would prove to be wise. But, she would admit that until her bonds with her family were re-ignited, she would be doing her best to repair her ship and return to her dimension. However, once the bonds were back, it would certainly ease her mind. She would be able to keep in constant contact with them. A thought that greatly put her at ease.

[Kira Yamato]

Kira was able to put the two and two together. He had figured it was something like that. So she had trained her? No, her old Master had been who she had fell in love with. “Aren't there only supposed to be two Sith at a time?” he asked a little confused at the answer. Obviously that wasn't the case here, but had she served multiple Masters? Did Sith do that hopping from Master to Master? The connection was....odd, but he supposed different reality meant different rules. He had gotten the feeling it was someone who had trained her, but the how still was slipping away. Maybe Ira had died and came back here from another reality? That could easily be the case.

He understood her position. He nodded. He understood what it was to be worried about someone back home. Someone who you loved and wanted to see again. He could bring up the promblems of it here and now, but hopefully by then he'd have made progress. Even after he figured out the nav drive and hyperdrive it wasn't as simple as opening a wormhole and going. From what he had already been peicing together from the ship it just travled lengths, she was wanting to travel different realms and with that each one brought their own twists and turns, problems to be solved. And worse yet you might find yourself stranded once you reach the other side of it. Of course she seemed put off by Ira so he didn't mention of that. He was greatful just the same.

There was also the possiblity of other ghosts from her past showing up. Had she made that connection yet? He had already told her what her reality meant in his realm and yet in hers it was real. Had she figured out however that there could be another her running around in a realm right now with only one less hair? Once you had that fact however, it became much more apparent that jumping realms wasn't as easy as most would like it to be. Instead he asked another question. ”How long do you think it will take to learn to use a sword?” he asked. He liked guns, but he had to admit in some situations they didn't work so well. Like this one for instance. However a sword wouldn't have done much either against a lightsaber so it was really a moot point.

"Not in my world. The faction at it's peak had thirty masters and apprentices. And that is not counting the newcomers and even Jedi that were rapidly adding to the numbers. I suppose there were not many darksiders in your books." As the words slipped form her lips, she cracked an amused smile. "Don't worry, part of your lessons shall be learning about the factions. You will be better prepared should Ira show herself again" She snorted in mentally "If".

The sword question took her back a bit but she supposed that it was understandable. He knew that no sword was a match for a lightsaber, didn't he? Well, with the exception of her old blade and the one on her back. She sighed a bit, how she missed her blade. It had served her so well... It had been seventeen years now- it should have fixed itself by now. No matter for now though. "That would depend on how much abuse you are willing to take and how fast you want to learn. Sword training is not something that can be rushed, youngling." Did she just call him a youngling? Kissira became rather disgusted with herself for a moment. A Jedi term... She used a Jedi term. It was not that she didn't like Jedi. the ones that had taught her children had been a prime and true example of what Jedi should be. But the Jedi that floated through her mind were not the ones she had come to feel protective of, no she thought of the ones from her original dimension.

[Kira Yamato]

Kira just nodded. Good information to know then. ”Just not all at the same time.” he corrected her. There were quite a few to be honest, but only two at a time from what he understood. Oh well. Anything went here. Kira wondered how much there really was to learn about all of this actually. Well next time hopefully he'd have the basics mastered. Maybe then he could actually do something, but in the meantime part of him wondered what it was she'd be doing. It wasn't as if he thought she'd just lay low. No, she definetly didn't seem the type for that.

Kira shrugged his shoulders. ”I was dropped into the middle of a war. I pick up quick.” he said. It wasn't a lie, he still had to work on getting it down, but he did naturally pick up on things a lot quicker then normal. ”I know it's not any match for a lightsaber, but it might help in other situations.” he said. Honestly if it came too it, he knew Isafaro military had a few parts at least for it locked away somewhere. He could always go find one and use that, but that was far beyond him. Best to first get a basic sword down. Somehow he felt that a lightsaber was a bit more complex then a regular sword.

"Then be ready for your training once you take care of your business." She tilted her head in the direction of him communicator. "Sounds like you have some things to straighten out. When your mind is clear, reach out through the Force to find me. I shall leave my Force aura open for you alone to find. Oh and if you see your friend again, tell him that I appreciate the sentiment but I don't like having my mind copied." If Raal was paying attention, he would notice that he could no longer locate Kissira. If she needed him she would open the passage to her mind again, but otherwise, Raal would not be able to pin point her. Kissira was nothing if not a master of her own mind.

That being said, thick black tendrils began to form out of the air itself and enveloped her in the black embrace, starting at her feet and working their way up. They swirled about her slowly, their opaque color shifting to a solid hue as time passed, looking like serpents as the twisted and intertwined with each other. "This will be your first lesson. Locating using the Force." Without waiting for him to respond, the tendrils whipped around her and covered her from head to foot, constricting themselves until they were so tight that not even her form could be seen. The finally vanishing into themselves as the last of the wisps were carried away by the breeze. She was gone.

[Kira Yamato]

”Right.” he said. That was first and foremost. Taking care of the alarm that Garrus had no doubt set off. Force aura? he thought quietly to himself. Maybe it was that thing he had felt earlier from her? Now that he thought back he had the same feeling when she had been healing him. And just like that the tendrils began to form again. ”Wait, how do I-” he started to say before she reached the word lesson. After that he quieted. If this was part of it there was nothing to do about it he supposed.

After she left he stood there a few moments longer. When his mind was cleared, was that his hint? He had felt it while connected to the Force. That was still hours away. Here and now he had things that needed his focus. He sighed before putting his gun away and headed back to base taking care to make sure he wasn't being followed. He may have just gained his Force powers, but he didn't need them to know when he was being trailed.
