Volume 5: Stock Up

Y/n POV

I was walking in the upper levels of Mistral in the rain dropping slowly with my poncho on and hood up and BD-1 on my back. I decided to take a walk around to get some air after yesterday's event. It was my first time meeting a Zeffo species in this world, I never expected them to be here. I was walking around for a few minutes until I saw a weapons dealer in the shades to cover themselves from the rain. I went up to the vendor to see what he's got.

Vendor: Ah, welcome sir. Are you here to purchase any weapons? We got melee weapons and ranged weapons, you buy it, it's yours my friend.

You: Thanks. It's nice to meet you too. Um, do you have any ranged weapons, like sidearms?

Vendor: Hmmm. I think we have just the right thing for you, hold on a second.

The weapons vendor went to the back to get the sidearm I need. I waited a few seconds until the vendor came back with the sidearm and put it on the table.

Vendor: This is a very special sidearm that some scavenger found a few months back.

I take a good look at the sidearm, wait... this is one of the clone troopers sidearm blasters, the DC-17.

I never expected for this kinda weapon to be here in this planet. A clone captain used this blaster, his name was Captain Rex during the Clone Wars. I took the blaster and inspect it to get a good look at it. I'm not much of a fan of shooting blasters, but I guess it's time I try something new.

You: If you don't mind, do you have a shooting range around here?

Vendor: Of course I do, just behind are the red targets. Let's see how well you can handle that thing.

You: Thank you.

Vendor: Just follow me.

I followed the vendor to lead me to the shooting range to test out my new sidearm. We arrived at the red targets that are in front of us.

Vendor: Test out the weapon when you're ready.

I aimed the DC-17 blaster with both of my hands to get a good grip on it and test out the shots on the targets.

The blaster shots were blue and they hit the red targets. After a few more target practice I stopped shooting at the targets and the vendor spoke to me.

Vendor: Well what do you know, I guess you know I to use that thing.

You: I'm not that much of a fan of shooting things, but I'll do my best from time to time.

Vendor: (chuckle) No problem.

You: How much does this cost anyway?

Vendor: Hmmm. I say this cost, 30 Lien.

You: Wow, that cheap.

Vendor: It's the cheapest I can offer. Oh, and I have a holster if you don't want to carry that thing a lot with you it comes with the sidearm.

You: I'll take it, thanks.

I gave the vendor 30 Lien and he gave me the holster for the blaster. I got the holster belt and clipped it around my left side and put the blaster in it. I left the vendor and waved at him and waved back to me.

Vendor: Have a nice a day sir!

I started to walk back to the house with my new weapon. The rain stopped and the clouds are started to clear with the sunset out. I removed my hood on my poncho and kept on walking. I was in an empty open area walking, but then I sense something. I took out my lightsaber and activate and looked around.

???: I've seen you've recovered.

I recognized that voice, it's the Nightsister Merrin. She appeared behind me and I looked at her, she wasn't wearing her hood anymore.


Merrin: Brave... but not wise.

You: Maybe.

I showed her that I was deactivating my lightsaber, but I was still holding the hilt.

You: Merrin, right? I'm Y/n L/n. What you were told about the Jedi was not true.

Merrin took a second to speak to me.

Merrin: So you say... Y/n. Malicos said many things too.

You: Taron Malicos might have been part of my Order but what he is now, I... I have no idea. All I do know is having a lightsaber (I tossed my lightsaber hilt to Merrin and she caught it) isn't what makes you a Jedi.

Merrin: Then what does?

She looked at my lightsaber then looked at me.

You: We were peacekeepers. We were betrayed by those we protected. Hunted down by the Empire. I... I might be one of the last of my kind.

Merrin looked at my lightsaber and activate it to show my blue blade looking at it.

Merrin: I was only a child when they attacked. An armored warrior brandishing this... Descended upon us... And cut down my people. My sisters. Until I was left alone... With the dead. Then Malicos came, and promised me revenge. If I shared our secrets with him in return.

BD-1: Whoo-whooooo.

I took a second to speak to Merrin.

You: I know what is like to lose everything. And Malicos was wrong to use that against you. We don't have to be enemies.

Merrin deactivated my lightsaber and tossed it back to me, I caught it and clipped it to my belt.

Merrin: You will need this.

She then disappeared again.

You: There she goes again.

BD-1: Boop woooo bap!

Merrin: I'll be watching.

I heard Merrin's voice in the air.

You: Let's get outta here.

I started to walk back to the house while Merrin was talking to me.

Merrin: Your friends, what are they doing here?

You: We came here for a reason. We met the headmaster named Leonardo Lionheart. But something about him seems, off.

Merrin: What do you mean?

You: I feel like I shouldn't trust him. What if he's working with the enemy, or worse, what if he's working for Salem?

Merrin: Who is this Salem person?

You: She's a female, she's trying to take the Relics so that she can have power from these artifacts. And we're not going to let that happen.

Merrin: I know you won't. I have faith in you Y/n.

You: Thanks Merrin.

Merrin: I'll keep hidden so that you're friends won't attack me.

You: Good idea.

Merrin: In the meantime, I'll keep watch if there are enemies here, and I'll let you know if they are here.

You: Okay, thanks Merrin.

Merrin: You're welcome Y/n. Good luck.

Merrin then went silent so that she doesn't scare anyone around here while I continued to head back to the house.

(Timeskip)

I finally went back to the house and call it a day. Luckily the door was unlocked, I opened the door turned around and closed it behind me.

You: Hey guys, I'm back. Sorry I took so long, I was--

I turned around and got cut off by my sentence. My eyes widened from what I saw. I saw familiar faces, it was Yang and Weiss, their here? I never thought I would see them again. I started to have tears of happiness in my eyes and they opened their arms for me to join in the hug.

Ruby: Y/n.

Ruby said while I was still standing here with tears falling down my cheeks. I ran into them and gave them the best hug in a long time. We hugged each other with open arms for a while.

You: I've missed you two so much.

I said through my tears and sobbing.

Yang: We've missed you too.

Weiss: And we are never leaving any of you again.

You: Good.

I stood there for a few more minutes to enjoy this beautiful moment. I finally got two of my teammates back, but we're missing one more person and that's Blake. I know she will be back soon, but now I want to enjoy this moment with my three teammates. I finally got to see Yang and Weiss again, and they will never leave us again.

To be continued.
