Sith Temple?? Part 2

Alex had woken a few hours later. Meditating was to hard as he was really hungry. He pulled the last canteen from his pack to drink from. But remember the little Hutt he stopped. The penalty for it dying was not pleasant at all.

"Ughh so thirsty." Alex grumbled. He gave the Hutt the canteen and turned to see what there was available. When he turned back, the greedy bastard drank it all. "What about me!?"

"Babaa." It passed the empty canteen back. Alex tilted it over and not a drop came out. The Hutt went back to sleep. Playing baby just pissed Alex off. The penalty did not sound so bad at that moment.

"I can not get my strength back if my body gives out." Alex plopped against the wall. The woman came back and sat in front of him. "Take my hand and try not to dig to deep this time. I rather you not flip out again." If she freaked out again, he might die this time. It was hard keeping her happy and piecing her mind togethor with Force Cleansing.

"Alright." She gripped his hand and went through his mind again. She could only see bits and pieces of his childhood and kept noticing XoXann mostly. "You were once less than you are now. A broke. Fragmented soul."

"Jeez can you say it nicer somehow?" Alex had no idea really what she meant, so he left it alone. Far as he was concerned she was talking about Adjunta. "To tired. I need water."

"Nice will not change the truth." She reached behind and pulled out a small vial. "Drink this. It is a dirty glass but I tried to wipe it."

"Gulp!" Alex drank it as fast as possible. "Ahh!" Exhaling, he felt a lot better. "Thanks. Have any more? What is your name anyway?"

"No. I only go to the bathroom every few centuries or so." She thought about her name but did not really want to tell him. "You may call me Dienerin." Looking through his mind, she knew he only knew a little of her buried away. But he had two friends that knew who she was.

"You.. only.. go.. every..." Alex stared before he fainted again. "Is.. that.. German?" Was all he mumbled.

"At least you are hydrated now." She picked both of them up and moved furthur into the temple. Behind an area that others could not enter. "I must hurry before it is to late."

Alex was placed on a table. Up above a weird contraception that was fused with all sorts of force Alchemy started up. It came down and cut an incision in his chest. A green stone about the size of a fingernail was then placed inside.

"Ughh." Alex groaned as he started to regain consciousness. With a zap from Dienerin, he went back out.

"So sorry, but I do not want to remain by myself." She went to work, but was angered after a few moments. "I cant work on him, and something is preventing me from occupying his body. Even the Hutt is protected! I will be trapped here forever!"

"Crckkk!" The walls started to break apart from her anger.

She changed Alex's clothes and brought him and the Hutt back to the other room. Feeling her anger getting the best of her, she fell asleep frustrated. She would think of something to do in the morning.

-Next Morning-

"Time to get out of here." Alex said. The Hutt nodded agreeing. As for Dienerin, she was still asleep. But was very close to them. "New clothes. Nice." Picking her up, he felt a strong Force bound form between the two. 'Ok she is not trying to kill me and she is force sensitive. Screw it, that blasted deity can deal with her if she turns wack a doodle.'

A quick look around and he spotted a broken lightsaber. It was old. Maybe a few 100 years or so. Alex pocketed to use for parts for later. A few robes were found. He took those to. Several whispers from the Force had spoken what to do next.

Going to the door, Alex placed his hand and watched as it opened. On the other side was Inferna powered down missing parts. The gas was gone from whatever else was inside. Several corpses of Raen sovra littered about the place. She had taken them all done herself.

"Do not worry, I will fix you up right as rain." Alex waved his finger and placed her in his inventory. He barely had his anger controlled as he did so. The bodies were all stored as well. The only solace was that she did not self destruct. '"Huh?"

(Companion Quest Completed: Find Material to upgrade Droidca Inferna. 54/10 pieces found. Convert?)

'Convert.' Alex thought. Running through the place he made it outside in record time. He was suprised to see the others with a drill and a heavy gunship at the ready. "Do not fire!"

"Umm, what?" Dienerin asked. She felt the sun on her check and the shouting woke her up. Her eyes looking around at all the people as she trembled. "I am outside?! I am outside!" She cheered hitting Alex in the face. "Oof!"

Alex dropped her on the ground when she hit him. "That is what you get!" Looking at the others, he smiled. "I am happy you all are safe and looking better than ever. Things work great on the outside I take it?"

Balfour and Mary walked over slowly. When they were in arms reach, they pinched him to make sure he was real and not some illusion.

"Oww what the hell!?" Alex grumbled. They had put a bit of force in the pinching.

"Making sure you are not a fake. Some weird creatures came out disguised as you beforehand. It had different clothes than you though. Dooku mentioned your armor was trashed so that threw that out the window." Mary said.

"You need some water?" Mary asked seeing his appearance.

"Yes!" Alex responded more than what was necessary. "As well as a shower. " He turned to the building and felt an odd sensation. "Hold on."

"Duuuum!" Slowly the temple started to sink. As his hands moved in a sinking motion. He had know idea why he was able to do it however. A strong connection to the large place made Alex slightly off-put. He would feel even odder once he checked the stuff in his inventory.

"Ehh freedom." Dienerin cried happily. 'But my hands are normal. My mouth can still change back though.' Looking at her hands she marveled how they looked the same as anyone else's. Human wise anyway. She stared at Alex as he caused her prison to sink. 'How did he create a Force Bond with me? Is this my chance at a better life again? Who has orchestrated this? Is it them?'

"You are who?" XoXann asked. The woman gave her the creeps and the power she had was staggering. "Are you.."

"Just another apprentice of his. But an apprentice of life." Dienerin hopped up. "I am just interested in traveling is all. Nothing more really."

"Right." Amy said. She looked to Balfour who shrugged. "So it goes Balfour, Mary, Rollo and all the others in the squad then you. So many that I wonder when he will have the time. Oh, wait when we sleep, nevermind."

"That is a conversation for later." Alex turned to enter the gunship. He took two steps before his legs gave out. "Oof. I guess I am weaker than I thought. I am really hungry."

(Warning: Body can not go through upgrade until proper nutrition is taken.)

"Baaabl!" Rollo laughed at him.

"Shut up." Alex retorted. "Just need food and a proper rest. "

"The trials were tougher on you than myself. I think it best you rest upon returning." Dooku said. "I went back in after clearing my head some. A trial opened up to help get back to you. I came across the last area we all were..." Alex gave a nod. Dooku said nothing more and they got on board. "As for Anakin and his mother, she is now waiting with Qui-Gon to leave."

"Yeah. That is actually nice to know. Not my business anymore." Alex felt tired again. He couldnt even stay awake more than 20 minutes before he fell asleep.

"Hmm." XoXann grabbed his wrist and felt his force connection was even stronger than before. "Just exhaustion and then some."

"He will be fine in a few days. The change will work quite well with him." Dienerin said as she looked around the carrier.

"What change?" XoXann asked. Her tone was not very nice.

"I gave him something to increase his strength in the forces. If he fails, he will die. But that will not happen. Something is really weird about him."

"Why would you do that?" XoXann asked keeping herself under control. This would not be the place to fight someone. 'I hope this did not interfere with his evolutionary process.'

"Because I could." Dienerin smiled like a child. It was a little unnerving since she was obviously an adult. "He will need strength to deal with things in the future."

"Where is Inferna?" Balfour asked. Not seeing the droidca worried him. Dooku said nothing as he rather not mention without proof. "Ok.. I will just ask Alex when he gets up."

"You are very protective of him." Dienerin said to Mala. "You won't let me near him at all right now. Why is that?"

"Your personality shifts. I know people like you. We kill them on my planet. To dangerous to trust when you have know idea who you are dealing with." Mala glowered at her. Rico kept his hand on his blaster. "If he was awake that would not be a problem."

"Ok. I will keep that in mind." Dienerin smirked and looked away. Her thoughts running wild. 'He has people to trust him. And he treats them right not like the ones I had. I did everything for them. They abaonded me.' Slowly the Dark Side flowed around her. "Huh?"

Dienerin looked to see Alex's hand reached out to her. He was still asleep but she could feel the connection. Slowly her mind cleared back to clarity. She smiled happily feeling a warmth in his chest.

'Alex is really starting to come into his own. But will I live long enough?' XoXann questioned herself. She could feel something change in her more. Especially upon getting Alex back now after the last mission. 'The troops he has done a good job following his orders. Just need to leave this dust ball.'

'The Council... will most likely have a problem with the woman.' Obi-Wan thought. He received the information from one of the troopers with Alex group. 'Extremely force sensitive but emotionally vulnerable. What all went on in that temple?' While he thought what to do about the new info, he was blind to see Hunter had used a Dark Side technique from his System.

'Sorry Obi, but you are a threat to the Dark Core and it's Nexus. We can not have that.' Hunter thought with a smile on his face. 'But that does not mean you have to die. Just need to forget this bit of info for now.'

"Hunter." Mace Windhu called. He walked over and sat across from Hunter. "How would you like to officially learn under me? You will need to go through the training as a Padawan of course. Consider it rehabilitation even furthur."

"Of course." Hunter agreed happily. He would not pass this chance up. Especially since it would get the Council off his back more. "Master Windhu, I am about as ready as I think I will be."

-Dathomir-

"Master, what do you think?" Maul asked Christian. He looked at the lair of the Nightsisters and could'nt decide what he needed to really do.

"I think we go there and get your brother. He may have gone through the special trials, he may not have." Christian said lowly. "I do know we need to do more to cut the strength of Darth Sidious. The Night Sisters themself could be a good ally to replenish our forces even more so."

"Ohh I say we do it Master!" A young woman said. She was covered in dark robes. And stood really clothes to Christian. " I say we go in and ask them all nicely to join us."

"And if they decline?" Maul asked from the side. "Bo-Katan you should have a bigger view."

"Then we skin them alive and hang the bodies up back at base." Bo-Katan was trained in the ways of a Mandalorian. Christian had moved to take care for his own designs. Changing her in ways she no longer resembled her original self. The young human woman was steeped deeply in the Dark Side thanks to an item Christian received as a quest reward.

"Well let us see what happens." Christian smiled happily. "If everything goes well, you and your brother wil have an even brighter future."
