New Home!

On their way down to the planet, the Lich had cloaked itself again. Both ships landed near an oasis where there was a giant mountain that pierced through the clouds. Near the mountain was a waterfall that dropped into a crystal clear watering hole.

"So beautiful!" Many Younglings were gathered and looking out of the window. All of these Younglings were people from Xytan's class, so they were the only ones to survive. Only a few had died during the evacuation.

Xytan couldn't help but think it was a coincidence that this had happened. Nearly his whole class had survived, but the Younglings from other classes had perished.

"It is. I've never explored this far into the beyond." Shaak Ti was pretty impressed herself.

"Well, now we have the time to explore more." Sha Koon was gazing out of the ship's window as well.

The ship landed near the mountain before everyone exited it. They landed near the river oasis where the waterfall was. The area was filled with tropical trees that were extremely thick in most places around here.

"We...have arrived." The Mandalorian Leader said with a pant.

"Right this way, the base is hidden over here." The Mandalorian Leader signaled them to follow him. While this was going, Xytan went back to pick up Viola, who was still fast asleep.

"Viola, get up! We've made it to our new home." Xytan shook Viola softly before she slowly opened her eyes. Xytan had A-1 with him, which spent most of its time inside of the main lobby watching everyone.

"We've made it?" Viola slowly sat up while rubbing her eyes.

"Yes, we're safe now. Let's go check the place out, but before that let's visit somewhere else." Xytan suddenly thought of something.

"Okay, let's go." Viola shot up with a smile, but she frowned when she saw A-1.

"We shouldn't take this droid with us this time, it's too nosy and annoying." Viola seemed to have something against A-1.

"Crybaby, we shouldn't take crybabies!" A-1 suddenly said. He was clearly talking about Viola, who was crying earlier today!

"Y-You dumb bird!" Viola's figured shivered and her face flushed red from embarrassment. Xytan kept a neutral expression as best as he could, and he succeeded. That's when Xytan felt a force come over him, it was targeting A-1!

"Hold on, stop!" Viola was about to crush A-1 for saying those words against her.

"But he..." Viola pointed at A-1 but was cut off before she could finish.

"The attitude, you can't just crush people for minor offenses. If you keep that up you'll become a Sith in no time." Xytan knew she was a kid, so he understood why she was acting like this. Furthermore, it was scary to know that a kid could crush you because of a minor offense! The number of people dying would stack to the sky if this was a regular multiverse.

"Sorry, I don't want to be a Sith! Sorry, Xytan!" Viola was stunned and quickly came to her senses.

"It's okay, but you need to practice more on that." Xytan shrugged, but A-1 kept making strange sounds as if it was laughing.

"Shut up or I'll deactivate you." Xytan glared at A-1 and said. This droid was throwing gasoline onto a dying flame. If kept this up, it would get burned for sure, but in this case, crushed!

The droid went dead silent after that. Viola looked at the droid with a somewhat mocking gaze before they exited the ship.

Al'cade was waiting outside of the ship, he had landed the Lich someways away from here.

"I want to visit the Lich and see it for myself." Xytan learned that the hidden base was in the mountain. The entrance to the base was behind the waterfall, something that was actually excavated with a drill machine.

"Right this way, there are a few things on the ship that you need to check out." Al'cade and a few Mandalorians started to guide him there.

Viola looked at Xytan, the Mandalorians, and the Spartan. There was no telling what she was thinking, but she found that these guys listened to Xytan somewhat religiously. Eventually, they made it to the Lich, which was a staggering 102.8 Metres. This wasn't even nearly the biggest the Covenant ships had to offer!

There were Covenant Plasma turrets on each side of the Lich, as you would expect. This would allow allied personnel to mount and use them.

Xytan and Viola walked inside and were shocked. Al'cade explained that there were 6 Ghosts (Covenant) inside that were brand new. This was news to Xytan, he didn't know it would come with anything like this.

The Mandalorians didn't touch these things, they weren't sure about them and they didn't want to ruin them.

"This ship looks so cool! If I could have one of my own, my life would be so much better." Viola peered around in amazement.

'I have to ride a Ghost at some point!' Xytan on the other hand was thinking about those ghosts, he used to splatter people all of the time with those.

"There's a weapons rack over here, but we never tried using these weapons. We just left them alone, as to not mess up anything we knew nothing about." A Mandalorian Warrior pointed at the weapons rack and said.

Xytan was surprised to see one of the weapons. There were two racks, one was holding 8 Plasma Pistols, while the other was holding 8 Needlers! Like the Plasma Rifle, it was light, but effective in combat.

There was no doubt that this weapon was more dangerous than the Plasma Rifle. The needle dealt some serious punishment and pain to its foes. Xytan smiled in satisfaction before picking the weapon up to get a better look and feel for it.

Viola looked curiously at the weapons as well, but she didn't try to copy Xytan's actions. Xytan evaluated the weapon, he knew the crystals from the Needler originated from SangHelios' Moon.

'What sharp crystals, they could probably even tear through Beskar.' Enough of these pumping into you would explode and kill you in seconds. Xytan put the weapon back after touching on the crystals for a bit.

"Viola, you can stroll around the ship, but don't touch anything," Xytan said resolutely.

"Of course, you can trust me to not meddle. I just want to look around this cool ship." Viola raised her head and said confidently.

"Alright, enjoy. I'll be right back." Xytan nodded and went up to the second floor.

Once Xytan was upstairs, he could see that there were more weapon racks around the room. They held weapons as well, but this time he saw a Carbine rack. Xytan couldn't help but feel amazed that these came with the ship.

"Now that I'm here, I need to speed up my hunt to get some system points." Xytan looked toward the system, it was about time he introduced himself to other races, maybe.

The only race he could think of that was so good a hunting was the Yautja, who were better known as the Predators. If they were given a bounty target, Xytan was so sure they could hunt them with ease.

To simply put, Xytan wanted to summon one to hunt High-value bounty targets. This would reel in more system points, obviously.

Xytan turned to Al'cade to appraised him.

...

Name: Spartan 2 (Al'cade)

Gender: Male

Rank: Blue

...

Xytan checked these rankings before and knew the weakest to the strongest.

It went as such.

Transparent, which didn't have a color, was the lowest rank.

White was the next Life form rank.

-Shallow Yellow, Yellow, Deep Yellow.

These ranks kept going on like this, having 3 ranks in one color.

-Orange, Green, Blue, Red, and Purple. All of these have had three ranks in them so far. However, afterward, these next levels had stand-alone ranks.

Black, Silver, Gold, and with the strongest being Cosmic!

Of course, as said before, this depended on their gear, their way of thinking, and the skills that the living entity had. The Yautja had ranks among themselves, but Xytan wanted to pick an experienced Yautja Warrior.

This meant no Unblooded and Youngbloods. These were merely teenagers who hadn't done their trials or those that just completed them.

The ranks for the Yautja were Unblooded, Youngblood/Blooded, Elites, Clan leader, Adjudicator, and Ancients.

"Hmm, I'll wait until some other time to buy these guys. For now, let's check other things out" Xytan change the category to Halo.

Xytan was showing his favorability toward the High Charity from Halo. This would surely be something he had to get in the future, he even considered making the place his permanent home.

However, it cost 3,000,000 system points, but it was lower with the 30% discount. Xytan felt he had to buy this place before the sale was over in 5 years.

Xytan picked up the Carbine to have a look at it, as he did with every other weapon. Afterward, Xytan traveled to the lower levels to check out the ghost vehicles. They were the Ghost from Halo 4, which had a different coloration to them.

They were Dark Blue instead of Purple.

"Hohoho! I can't wait to ride one of these, I'll do it just for fun. Shoot, I might be able to make a game out of it in the future!" Xytan jumped into the seat excitedly and went over the controls for it.

He had seen these on the system, obviously. The Ghosts from Halo Combat Evolved were cheaper because they didn't have any boost like the rest of them. Xytan spent quite a bit of time messing around on the Ghost before leaving.

Venturing to check these things out had made him feel a lot better.

Xytan heard from the Mandalorians that they were almost done securing a hidden space for the Lich. They were far from the civilization that inhabited this planet, with the nearest city being hundreds of miles away.

Viola was talking to one of the Mandalorian females, who was actually the pilot for the Lich before Al'cade took over. Al'cade had asked Xytan a few questions, like about the races of this galaxy.

He asked about the tentacle-headed girl, but Xytan told him that it was offensive to call them that. Xytan stated that they were called Lekkus, and her race was called Twi'leks.

He was saying this on the way back, he left Viola with the Mandalorian female. They seem to hit it off, as she was talking to her about many different topics.

They finally went behind the waterfall and into the hidden base. There was an artificially installed door that led into the base. Once they were inside, he was greeted with the scene of a large spacious area. There, he could see a statue of a Mandalorian holding his helmet.

The statue stood on a luxurious Water Fountain. The floors were made out of black tiled marble, he could also see that there were places missing tiles. It would seem that they had yet to fully complete the base.

"Master, how many I be of service to you today? Do you want some tea? There always plenty to be made, definitely for an amazing stand-up youngster such as yourself." While Xytan was staring at the Silver Statue, he heard a professional voice from his side.

"No...I don't need anything right now. How's construction going so far?" Gazing over, Xytan asked.

It was actually a Pk-series droid he summoned back then to aid the Mandalorians.

"It going great, but sadly, we need more personnel to get things done faster. You could say we're short-handed in that department." The Pk-series android spoke honestly.

"What about the room arrangements, how is that going so far?" Xytan would naturally need somewhere for everyone and himself to sleep.

"Those are completed, they were one of the first things to be completed. The heating, cooling, refrigerating, and living areas were the priorities at the start." The droid answered in a kind soothing tone.

"Thank goodness, how much funds do we have left?" Xytan asked about the damage to their pockets.

"Approximately 495,250 credits, sir." The droid answered modestly.

Xytan wasn't surprised, they had to spend the funds on many things. He heard there were a million credits before, but most of that went down the drain.

"We have a vault here that contains all of our funds and things they have collected." The droid was spilling everything.

"Alright, thanks for telling me all of this. I'll be sure to get more personnel to assist in building the base. By the way, can you show me to my room?" Xytan was actually pretty sleepy, he stayed up this whole time, not to mention the stress of escaping.

"Of course, sir. We have a special room just for you, we prepared It just for this day. Please follow me, master." The Pk-series quickly began to lead Xytan away. At this point, Anakin should have been defeated at the hands of Obi-wan.

Xytan asked about the other Jedi that came inside of here recently. The droid stated that they had rooms for all of the Youngsters and Grown-ups. Though, some rooms still needed to be completed.

Xytan had to get more droids now to assist in building this place. He wanted to wait a little longer because the price for droids would decrease dramatically soon.

Xytan had to buy a special generator from the System to prevent their presence as Jedi from being discovered. This generator would hide everyone here who was practicing their force arts.

Darth Vader discovered many Jedi because he could feel their presence when they were tapping into the force close to his location. And as you may know, each and every one of them had suffered for it.

Al'cade actually volunteered to help build the base up with the Mandalorians, so he went his separate way.

They arrived at an isolated hallway that had many beautiful vases on each side. There were large pictures on the wall with Mandalorians on them.

"These guys really took it there." Xytan was speechless, they put Mandalorian things everywhere!

"Here's your room, I hope you love it master." The Pk-series droid stopped at a white door that had vases of red roses on each side of it.

Xytan opened the door and walked inside. He gazed around the room and found that this place was incredible.

There were smooth wooden floors that eventually turned to white marble floors as you went through the place. The room was massive, it seemed to be more of a suite than anything else. There were white chairs and tables set up inside of the kitchen, yes, a kitchen! Xytan decided to call it a suite instead of a room, but a room wasn't bad either.

He found his bed and told the droid to go on about its day, he'll be going to sleep now. The droid dismissed itself before Xytan took off his clothes and crawled into his new bed. He put the Datacron under his bed before doing this.

Xytan had felt Padmé's 'death' but his technique had activated at that moment, so she was now in a false death coma like state.

"Phew! I managed to survive all of that craziness. Now, it's time to get a good rest." Xytan sighed to himself, as he slowly closed his eyes.
