Chapter 9
4 Days Later:
Lincoln was stepping out of the shower as he grabbed a towel. He dried his hair as he stepped in front of the mirror. He looked at his body and flinched at all the sting-marks from the Rattatakian red-jackets. He took a deep breath as he continued to dry himself off when there was a knock on the door "Lincoln? You alive in there?" asked Yujnobi
"Y-yeah, I'm still here," Lincoln replied as he wrapped his towel around his waist, "what do you need?"
"Ruzz wants to know how you are doing,"
"He couldn't come and check on me himself?"
"He's taking to Zil' Oal,"
"Of course he is, *sigh* I'm coming out," Lincoln said as he opened the door. Yujnobi visibly recoiled as she saw Lincoln's scars as shook her head "S-so... let's go get you dressed," Yujnobi said
"I don't need any help," Lincoln replied
"You're being pretty protective all of a sudden,"
"Well I don't need any help getting dressed like I'm a toddler," Lincoln snapped back. The Twi'lek raised an eye-brow as she put her hand on his shoulder "Lincoln, did you have... a nightmare?" Yujnobi asked
"N-no, why would you even suggest that?" Lincoln said as he pushed off her hand
"Lincoln, I've known you for nearly a year now," Yujnobi stated firmly, "let's just say, I know when you're lying,"
"A-alright, so I had a nightmare a few days ago, doesn't everyone have them?" Lincoln asked. He continued to walk to his dresser as Yujnobi closely followed behind him "You wanna talk about it?" she asked
"No, now leave me alone," Lincoln growled
"You're not normally like this, Lincoln, what's gotten into you?"
"Nothing! Now let me get dressed," Lincoln said with a hint of anger in his voice. Yujnobi nodded as she walked toward the door "Lincoln, you know you can talk to me... or maybe Ruzz if you want to go that far, hell Zil' Oal may sleep through the conversation, but at least you're talking to someone," Yujnobi said as she left.
Later:
"RUZZ 'OPES' FLEMURM!" Yujnobi shouted as the said bounty hunter was walking into the hallway
"Y-yes?" Ruzz stuttered, knowing that Yujnobi said his true name
"We need to have a little talk,"
"About?"
Lincoln," Yujnobi replied. Ruzz seemed to his a sigh as he said: "What's wrong?"
"He's become more aggressive since you discovered he could use the force, I'm worried about him," Yujnobi said
"Aggressive, how?"
"He fricken snapped at me,"
"I'm gonna need some context if I'm going to understand,"
"Well, you sent me to check on him, he was stepping out of the shower-"
"Yeah, I think I can understand why he was angry... you freaking peaked at him!" Ruzz said
"P-peeked? Why would I be interested in an under-age child?!" Yujnobi shouted
"Yujnobi! Stop talking about your fetishes! It's gross!" Zil'Oal shouted from his room. Yujnobi blushed as Ruzz shook his head "Fine, if you're worried, I can take him to see the local wizard, happy?" Ruzz asked
"Very," Yujnobi replied
"Good, now go dance for the customers," Ruzz said as Yujnobi punched him in the shoulder
"Ow!"
"That's all you think I'm good for, huh?" Yujnobi asked with a smirk on his her face
"N-no, it's j-"
"Maybe I should give you a private session later tonight? Just to change your mind," Yujnobi replied as she started to walk away, swaying her hips as she left. Ruzz gulped as he too started to walk away when he heard "RUZZ!"
"*Sigh* God, WHAT IS IT, LORD ZIL'OAL?!" Ruzz asked
"You're going to do it tonight, are you?"
"W-what the hell?! What's wrong with you, eavesdropping all that time?!"
"Remember to use protection!"
"SCREW YOU!"
"Bitch, you know you loved it. Why else would you still be SCREAMING MY NAME!?"
1 Hour Later:
Lincoln walked out of his room and turned a corner "Lincoln," said Ruzz from behind Lincoln, causing the ladder to jump
"Holy hell! You need a bell around your neck!" Lincoln shouted
"Yeah, I get that a lot... follow me,"
"Okay, where are we going?"
"To see the local wizard,"
"The Jedi? Why?"
"Well, Yujnobi is very concerned... and by extent, so am I," Ruzz explained
"Are Theebate and SixxTee coming?" Lincoln asked
"If you want them to," Ruzz said
"Okay, let me go get them!" Lincoln said as he ran off to find the droids. Ruzz shook his head as he started to make his way to his ship.
20 Minutes Later:
"So let me get this straight, we're going to see a Jedi, who's going to teach the commander how to be a space monk, so he'll stop being aggressive?" Threebate asked
"Yeah, sums it up," Ruzz replied
"That just sounds like castration with extra steps," Threebate replied
"Are we going to kill the Jedi?" SixxTee asked
"Depends, he does anything that may harm him further, you two are allowed to open fire," Ruzz said
"So, I get to kill the Jedi?"
"Yes, SixxTee, you can kill the Jedi," Ruzz said as he was starting the ship. He leaned back into his chair as Threebate and SixxTee looked at each other, "Are you sure about this?" Threebate asked
"Of course I am... that and I fear for my life," Ruzz replied as he flew the ship off the ground and into the sky. SixxTee walked out of the cockpit as Threebate shook his head "Why would you fear for your life? You're a bounty hunter!" Threebate said
"Oh, you simple, comedic, little metal wad of wires and stupidity... you're lucky you never have to face the wrath of a woman... especially one of Yujnobi's stature and her connection to Lincoln," Ruzz explained
"Urgh, I'm not even gonna ask,"
Later:
Ruzz landed the ship on a mountainside as he walked down the ramp with Lincoln and the two droids. Lincoln followed closely behind Ruzz as they walked toward a nice-sized house. It seemed to be made of stone and there was a garden next to it, "We're here," Ruzz said
"We're in the middle of nowhere!" Lincoln shouted
"Yeah, that's the idea," Ruzz replied as he walked up to the house and banged on the door, "Narec! I know you're here!" he shouted. The door slowly opened to reveal Narec, "My, my, what brings you here, Ruzz?" Narec asked with a slight glare
"Listen... I need your help,"
Across the Universe:
"Master Plo, where are you?" a young girl asked on a holo com Plo was holding. She had markings on her face with horns and head-tails. The girl had a worried look on her face as Plo tried to calm her down, "Ashoka, remember what I've told you, a Jedi is supposed to be composed and calm, I've only been gone a few days," Plo said
"I-I know, I just... *sigh* I'm worried about you," Ashoka said
"Don't worry about me, I'm with Master Yoda, he's got my back,"
"Okay... but can I call you every day to make sure you're alright?"
"If it'll set your mind at ease,"
"Okay, thank-you, master!" Ashoka said as she hung-up. Plo turned to look at Yoda, who was meditating, and walked up to him, "To Ashoka, you talked?" Yoda asked
"Yes, she seems to be doing well... now, how much further are we from Ilum?" Plo asked
"To ilum, we're not going. To the ilum system, we are going,"
"Really? Sorry for sounding rude, Master Yoda, but what makes you so sure that this presence you sensed will even be there?"
"I trust the force to guide me. You have doubts, do you? Hrmmm?"
"I suppose... but I'm not as in-tuned to the force as you are," Plo replied as he walked out of the room. Yoda went back to meditating as he tilted his head "This presence, lighter it's becoming... Interesting, this is." Yoda whispered.
