15 BBY: Galactic City, Coruscant

A FAMILIAR SERIES OF BREATHS TOOK PLACE,

The tall, dark and grim figure Zena saw last time waited on her by a Coruscanti hangar high on the tall landscape of the city. His long robe waved to his side like a dangerous flag waving in the air. She descended onto the landing platform and lept out the ship to join her master.

"Congratulations Inquisitor, you found the Jedi you've been looking for," his coarse voice spoke under his compact mask.

"Uh yes, master. I found the Jedi. But she had company," she answered as they began walking inside.

"She?"

"I couldn't kill her," she explained. "Something forced me not to!"

"That was your only choice,"

"I'm sorry,"

"Sorry doesn't cut it!" The tall man ignited his sabre and pushed it right in front of her! "We are born killers, we do what we need to do for the security of this galaxy!"

"Well, some people I just can't–" she attempted explaining herself before the man raised his hand. Right away she felt her throat squeeze in. She sought to explain herself, but whatever came out was a groan of pain.

"That is a sign of weakness. It seems as if the dark side hasn't truly penetrated," he concluded. He let go before he walked towards her, ready to cut her down. She began coughing to open up her throat.

"Lord Vader, forgive me!" she pleaded.

He force stretched her right arm out and cut it down. As blood spouted out from the socket, she wailed in pain before she attempted to cover the wound with her robe.

"Another failure is another limb taken!" he spoke as he retracted the sabre and walked off towards the building.

Bothka's old vessel emerged from hyperspace and drove through the thick clouds of Pantoine's stardust. It penetrated through the orbit and into the planet of Pantoine. The vessel then descended into the valley of the city. With its green hills and grey valley. It was all a sight to see. The refugees stood by the window and gazed onto the landscape.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived!" Bothka spoke over the comms as the ship lowered into a newly built hangar on the edge of the city. The ramps dropped and out came the citizens onto the hangar floor. The troopers led them to separate transports where numbers of asylum patrons were waiting.

As the last crowd of them emptied the vessel out came the Jedi. Medical droids stretched out Bothka into a speeder where they took him to hospital.

"What happened to him?" Kema watched on.

"He had a shock when he saw Zena," Xido explained as she walked with Goldie, arms locked.

"I've never seen boss like this," Goldie uttered.

"Why him?"

"Zena was his padawan before she left," Xido spoke before all ears went thunderstruck.

"No way," Goldie exclaimed.

"He broke down because they had a tough break and ever since he'd try to win her back," she continued as they entered a speeder. "She had difficulty siding with the Jedi sometimes."

"She never told me this," Kema sighed. "I could've fixed it,"

"You did great today," Xido drew her in for a hug. "You've gone through so much that no one has ever done before and I'm proud of you!"

"Yea, but I lost everyone!" Kema shuddered.

In a pause, they all sighed.

"Don't worry, I'll get you fixed up!" Goldie smiled as they all rode the speeder away.

5 BBY: Somewhere in the galaxy

A hooded man walked towards an enormous vault with a bookbag and his knowledge. A woman waiting in the vault's door approached him to welcome him.

"Ah! You're here this way." she motioned towards the door as her right hand swayed to the right; automatically opening the door. "Here is the legendary Netherite Vault of History,"

"Magnificent, the man spoke!" he mimicked a reporter and wrote in his journal a bunch of nonsense.

"Are you even writing?"

"Oh yes, it's another language," he smiled awkwardly. "Um, where are the legendary spell artefacts?"

"Right this way," they walked along a hall that lit up as they moved along. The man gazed up at the walls to see paintings of the planet's history. They etched years upon years on the wall.

"I can see you love your history," he spoke up.

"We don't love our history, we don't hate it either but time always tells!" She said before they stopped in the middle hall where the other halls came to a monument with a yellow diamond-shaped artefact sat in its midst.

"This is our history, created by this artefact!" the woman said as the man kept on jotting nonsense.

"Well, history is about to be made again!" he said as she turned confused. However, before she could say anymore, he pulled out his blaster as shot her head out. "So I'll need that artefact!"

She fell onto the floor as he went in for a close look. He threw away the pen and the book but opened his bookbag and reached into the monument; taking out the orange Holocron and placing it inside.

Back home in Pantoine, Xido sat alone atop a roof and watched a sunrise descend into the green grasslands of the valley. She watched over the now growing city. Full of prospering peoples and cultures. She smiled, but deep inside she had a lingering thought. It was getting cold, its light was shutting out and its aura diminishing. However, as she felt a warm touch on her shoulder, she would completely forget about it.

"Hey Xido," Goldie smiled behind her as he went in for a big hug. "What are you doing here?"

"Um, first you should address me as general! Clone," she laughed as she turned around to receive him. "I'm just thinking about something,"

"Kema?"

"Yea," she sighed before he dragged her out for a little dance. "I'm afraid she might not talk anymore!"

"Remember, she's been through a lot, and she misses everyone!"

"Yea, but I just need to watch her," she finished.

While they stood over the balcony of their new residence, they stared over the sunset and its rose gold clouds.

"Remember when we went swimming in Yossut?" he began.

"When I caught more framma than you?" she laughed.

"Yea right," he laughed. "I missed it,"

"They probably took it too," she said while she approached in front of him.

He stopped to gaze at her once more while she looked for the little stars that revealed themselves that evening. She pulled off with her eyes tightly closed in a yawn. Only opening them to see a daring stare from Goldie. She gazed throughout his entire face and felt the surge of helplessness. His quiet face leaned in and she rushed it over, kissing him. Softly at first, it prolonged as he shook in chills.

He took in a deep breath, astonished by the moment as Xido began a swift charge, slipping her tongue in. He trembled as he obeyed, letting her in. Her hands held his warm face while he gripped her hips. He felt dazed, but then pulled out in a flash.

"What the-"

"Shhh," he interrupted before he picked her up and headed into the room. "I need you to shut up for now."

"Goldie! put me down!" She screamed in laughter.

"I said shut up," he said as he carried her back into their flat.
