Chapter 41: "It's A Trap!!!"

I made my way off world and ensured that Ava was following me to the trap site I have set up.

I constantly maintained the "Spy Eye" I now could use, to track her location and every movement.

I could not care less about this being the equivalent to stalking or being a p.e.r.v.e.r.t. She is a danger and I don't care if she is taking a shower and I saw through the Spy Eye that she was nude. I literally wouldn't even care that I saw it and would turn off the ability as she was doing absolutely nothing to capture my attention.

While an entire Universe worth of males would love the chance to peek on a girl n.a.k.e.d. I could care less and would focus on playing chess or go to sleep.

Only a girl's heart and personality can affect me, since I can just give them a potion, I can make, to enhance their physical beauty if they or me wanted it. Heck, I can become a girl if I wanted to with a gender potion I made to sell as one of Cerberus' many products.

I'd say that in three years I will be so relied upon by the rest of the Galaxy that if Cerberus wanted to pressure the Senate, I could do so just as easily as the Trade Federation could.

The Galaxy relies on three Galaxy wide industries the most.

The Trade Federation – provides trade of practically everything to any part of the Galaxy, including many Core Worlds, Mid Rim Worlds, and Outer Rim Worlds.

Despite the crimes and the wars they waged in the Clone Wars and even the Naboo Invasion, they never actually suffered. Only individuals of the Trade Federation hierarchy would suffer the consequences, but the Trade Federation always came out unscathed by the crimes they committed.

No matter what universe or time period you are in, Trade is the most essential factor to keeping the economy stable. If the Trade Federation was Thanos snapped out of existence, many worlds would die from starvation, billions or even trillions would die from famine or from poverty. Entire worlds can collapse in on itself due to infighting and rebellions. That is how important the Trade Federation was and what many people who watched the Star Wars series had overlooked.

The Techno Union – development of many products and nearly 90% of all ships in the Galaxy comes from them and the ship production companies that are a branch of The Techno Union.

But that won't matter as I will soon have control of The Techno Union and absorb the companies and the territories they provide with ease once I have assembled a large enough invasion force to take control and force The Techno Union to sign over everything they have, much like the Naboo Invasion.

Banking Clans – Needless to say anybody can realise the importance of the Banking Clans, but I already have 8% ownership of the Banking Clans. It isn't a lot, but I plan to increase it to 17% very shortly. Do keep in mind that this basically means I will now be able to take in roughly 10% of all income that the ENTIRE GALAXY has yearly, and keep it all to myself after having gotten taxed on my shares and all the other crap.

Plagueis has about 24% control of the Banks as of this moment. But Sidious will gain all that once he murders his master after he is elected to be the new Supreme Chanceller.

It was annoying to deal with all this, but once I invade The Techno Union space, and take it under Cerberus' control, I will have to overthrow the Hutts at the same time in order to solidify myself and Cerberus as an new political faction know to the entire Galaxy.

Once that happens, the Republic and the Senate will feel threatened by my new emergence and I suspect that the Trade Federation, Jedi and what little manpower of the dissolved Military of the Republic that exists.

(a/n Chanceller Valorum (the descendent of another guy called Valorum from 100 years ago) had dissolved the Republic Military as he saw no need for one. This would backfire on him in accordance to Palpatine and his master's grand scheme to call for a Vote of No Confidence and outset him, and allow Palpatine to become Chanceller and start the Clone Wars. Naboo Blockade was done for this exact reason.)

All three of them, and possibly with the aid of other world's and companies will attack Cerberus as I will publicly reveal the location of Xixis to the Galaxy as this is what I want.

When this happens, I will finally have finished the foundations that Cerberus will stand upon over the Galaxy. I will have control of Techno Union space, many Outer Rim Worlds, Xixis space, Hutt Space, Chiss space and other worlds like Rodonia (Spelling may be wrong – Rodian species Homeworld), Pantora, Ryloth and Homewords of many other species like the Sephi King.

(a/n Sephi is also known as the "Elf" race of Star Wars due to their longevity and Elf like characteristics such as the iconic long pointed ears of course )

If I can get the Sephi King to join Cerberus, which should be easy, I will absorb all the Star Systems that the Sephi King has under him to join Cerberus, in turn I may be able to convince Master Fay to join me as her race is part Sephi.

…

I finished pondering over my future actions, at the same time I exited Hypersapce and reached my destination by travelling along the Hydian Way Hyperspace Lane.

Mustafer.

I made sure to lower my speed so that Ava could follow me, it was impressive that she had personally modified her Jedi ship to have a cloaking feature, among many others. I was a little impressed. Turms out she actually puts that brain to good use.

Before entering Hypersace when I had just left Dathomir, I had made sure to lower my security on my Hyperspace Navigation systems that were directly liked to my Yautjia Sat-Com.

She had certainly taken full advantage and used that moment of opportunity to put her Splicing skills to the test, turns out her qualifications she had shown me back when I had first met her at the Sith Shrine was true.

When I was hovering my ship over the surface of Mustafer, I jumped out of the ship and had Orpheleon cloak it and fly away.

I had walked, what may seem to be completely at random, for a while. That was until I was able to see a crash site far in the distance, that was my destination.

on my way to my objective, I had stopped as I heard the sounds of someone approaching.

???: "Stop right there!"

An all too familiar female voice resounded from behind a nearby rock that was ahead of me, they revealed themselves to be non-other then…surprise, surprise….Ava Kendra.

She had her White Saber activated and held at her side.

Adrian: "Well, well, I wasn't expecting you here at all. What brings you to this fine vacation resort world?"

Ava: "Don't play with me! Your lies are as plain as day! What are you doing on such a twisted and evil planet like this?!"

Adrian: "You call it evil; I call it nothing. It is simple a planet, nothing more and nothing less. Dark Side or Light Side, it makes no difference to me. A planet cannot be evil, its inhabitants are. But I'll humour you. I am here to collect my new training partner."

Ava: "W-What?"

She was so perplexed and confused by what I said that it was honestly hilarious as she lowered her lightsaber slightly as she tried to figure out the deeper meaning of what I had said. Since I was literally telling the truth, but she would never figure it out.

Adrian: "Never mind that. Are we gonna fight or what? Because I prefer not to harm little girls."

Ava: "Isn't that a little s.e.x.i.s.t?"

Adrian: "No. because I would say the same thing if you were a boy. "I prefer not to harm little boys". It's just because you are female, so I said that specifically. I believe in true equality in all things. The same goes for the Light Side and the Dark Side of the Force…unlike you."

She got irritated by my words, most likely that I was able to prove I wasn't being biased when calling her a "Little girl" and definitely because I had gotten away with calling her that which had irritated her.

Ava: "Enough of this! I am taking you back to the Jedi Temple to face judgement before the Council and the Republic Court."

Adrian: "*sigh* I've had to 'sigh' quite a lot in recent times. Whatever. Anyway, I suggest you stop pursuing me as I will give you one last chance. Walk away and leave me alone or I will make you lose again, but this time, a little more…permanently…"

Ava: "Hahaha! Weren't you the one that ran way from our first battle? I seem to recall you being unconscious as you're A.I. helped you get away."

Adrian: "And didn't I "Kill you" back on Mandalore, and you failed to protect a fellow Jedi…Obi-Wan Kenobi his name was? Oh…did you know that I can still remember hearing the sobbing and screams of despair from the Dutchess, through one of my spy drones? Ohhhh....the agony, the pain she must be going through….and all your fault to protec-"

*Fwing*

*Clank*

I had raised Zahkrii to block a slash from Ava as she tried lobbing off my head.

Perfect…now she is fuelled by anger and won't be able to focus 100% on the logical and strategic side of the battle but will try all out to kill me. She may have gotten stronger since her power is more focused, but that will not be an issue for me.

Adrian: "Round 3 it is then!"

I took out my Hawkmoon as I took advantage of its hip-fire firing rate to shot a barrage of bullets at her.

One thing to note, was that before now I had been using energy-based bullets that were similar to plasma.

This was why the Jedi could reflect my bullets, but now I was using regular metal bullets.

These bullets in Star Wars were known as Slug Bullets/Shots.

When a Jedi tries using a Lightsaber to block them, the bullet will melt upon contact with the Lightsbaer and the shrapnel inside will split and pierce the Jedi's body as the Lightsaer was unable to melt the insides of the bullet, as the shrapnel was protected by the outer casing of metal, which hadn't survived.

Ava was severely hurt by this and her body was littered with shrapnel, but her wounds did not heal which surprised her.

Adrian: "Surprised? It is coated with the blood of Ysalamiri lizards. They are known to have evolved to counter the Vornskr, their species natural predators, that uses the Force to track and hunt down the Ysalamiri. The Ysalamiri evolved and developed a resistance to the Force, though not immune to it, helpful nonetheless. While I doubt this will be enough to kill you, it isn't supposed to…NOW!!!"

Kal: "Yippee Ki Yay, Bombs Away!!!!!"

What followed where dozens of cylinder mechanical devices that dropped from the sky above and were descending down towards us. If one can see clearly as the two of us could with our enhanced sense of sight.

You would be able to see the Icarus high above, having de-cloaked itself.

Ava tried using the Force to stop the impending danger she had felt from those objects, but it was useless as I had also coated Ysalamiri blood all over every single one of them.

Another voice had followed immediately after.

Dagger: "FOR THORA!!!!!"

Jason, or as he prefers to be called Dagger when out doing missions and such, had aimed a seemingly small weapon that one could hold with one hand, or maybe two, and was the size of a Rocket Launcher.

Unlike a Rocket Launcher, that was held and positioned on the solider, this weapon was held at the front like a grenade launcher, or could be fitted into the Icarus, as it was right now.

A laser beam had been fired from it, and it seemed like me and Ava would get caught in it.

But the beam had shot the ground besides us, and large cracks formed throughout the ground in spiral like design.

If seen from a bird's eye view, one can see that a symbol had been drawn on the surface all around both me and Ava.

Jack: "Mu'k Shal'ar (Collapse)"

Jack had spoken a word in the language of the Great Ones and the symbols around us, etched into the ground had lit up in a bright red colour that glowed for a moment before turning to orange and a dim white hue, before suddenly…

The ground beneath and all around us had collapsed, as we plummeted downwards into the now exposed chasm, the dozens of bombs prior had followed after us and now…me, Ava and the dozens of bombs were all that remained in the underground and exposed cavern I had planned since the beginning.
