Chapter 17:Towards Coruscant

As Qui-Gon and I looked at Maul's charred body, the ship landed again, and from it Obi-Wan descended followed by Panaka, both seemed anxious as they quickly approached us.

Both stopped for a second when they saw the state of Maul's body, before Obi-Wan asked, "Master, who is he, and what happened?", He asked in confusion, the high sand hindered his vision and no one in the ship saw right what happened.

'' I'm not sure who he is, but he was well trained in the Jedi arts, and he was probably after the queen, Qui-Gon says, he didn't seem to want to put into words his concerns that the Sith may have returned.

'' What do we do now? '' Obi-Wan asked.

At that moment I approach Maul's body, and pretend to be checking something while using the system loot, but I just received a voucher for clothes from the apprentice sith, and a few thousand credits, in addition to a holocommunicator, '' it looks like he had a communicator on it, I can use that to search for his ship, '' I say as I show them the communicator.

"Give me half an hour, I'll see if I can find his ship", without waiting for anyone to answer, I start using the speed of the force to run in the direction where Maul came from at super speed.

After moving away for a few kilometers, I use mechu-deru on the communicator, and I try to make a direct link with the ship, and I quickly get an answer about 12 kilometers to the north, without hesitation I teleport directly to it.

But I get confused as soon as I arrive, in all directions there are only sand and dunes, there is no ship, but then I remember that Scmitar has a camouflage system, which is probably active now, closing my eyes and taking a deep breath, I start to feel anything electronic or mechanical around me with mechu-deru, and then a smile appears on my face, taking a few steps forward and reaching out I can feel something touching.

As soon as I find the ship I start using mechu-deru again to control and disable camouflage, and soon a modified sith infiltrator ship appears in front of me, moving to the rear of the ship, I climb the boarding ramp towards the entrance of the ship, as soon as I enter the first thing to notice are the various storage compartments, in the shape of a circle, with a long corridor in front of me, and an elevator to the upper deck on my right, deciding to leave the exploration for later, I go on towards the elevator that opens as soon as I approach and starts to climb as soon as I enter.

When I leave the elevator I see myself in what appears to be the cockpit, in a circular shape, with 6 passenger seats on the sides, and just 1 pilot seat, I approach the control panel and put my hand, using mechu-deru again (AN : I love this skill) I do a quick check on the ship's system and anything that might catch my attention, I frowned at what I found, I found 2 worrying things, one would be a tracker, which I immediately disable, but what was surprising is the bomb that I found, probably one of Palpatine's plans to get rid of Maul if he gets out of his control.

having located the bomb, I return to the lower deck and follow the corridor towards the cargo hold, where I felt the bomb, approaching I can see several boxes spread out, but without time to check I focus on one in particular, as soon as I approach I don't even bother to open it and just keep it in my inventory, I can get rid of it later, having done that, it was time to go back.

As I leave the ship, I take one last look before storing the entire ship in my inventory, '' it really is a shame that I don't have time to explore, there must be several useful things inside, '' I mumble to myself before shaking my head. head, i'll have time for that later, i must go back now.

I teleport back to the area near our ship, before again using the speed of the force to run the rest of the way.

As soon as I arrived I found Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan inspecting the Speeder, it seems that they already moved the body to the ship, "Did you find the ship?", Obi-Wan asks when he sees me approaching.

'' No, I used my skills to reach the landing site of the ship, but there was nothing there, I believe that some security system linked to the life of the owner was active, and as soon as he died, the ship left in automatic mode for some pre-programmed coordinate '', I reply with pure bullshit, but they have no reason to suspect me, it wasn't like I could hide a spaceship in my pocket right ?.

And as expected, Qui-gon nods when he says, "I already expected something like that anyway, we need to report this to the Jedi Council, let's hurry up and get back to coruscant," he says before walking towards the ship, while Obi-Wan and I followed.

.....

We are currently in hyperspace towards Coruscant, after talking with Padme for a while and helping Shmi get settled, I go to my compartment to rest, it's been a while since I just stopped to rest, so I'll take the time to travel to that, but first I decide to take a look at the system warning that I ignored during the fight.

[YOU LEVED UP] [+ 1SP] [+ 1PP]

I get a little confused by this, "" Light, why did I win a PP this time, when the other times I just received an SP? ", I ask light.

[it's pretty simple, while you get 1SP at each level, so you can buy force skill's, you get only 1 PP for every 5 levels, to buy system skills]

"And why is there a difference?", I ask again

[While you can use and abuse the powers of force, as they are part of the universe itself, the system's skills are a form of breaking laws, your own race and immortality are abnormalities, so going further than that can bring consequences]

"What consequences? Should I be concerned?", I say, frowning, finding the situation problematic.

[You don't have to worry, it is to avoid this that you receive few PP compared to SP]

'' I see, '' I say after letting out a little sigh that I didn't know I was holding, taking a look at the reward when leveling up, a killer droid, not very useful for me at the moment, but I can let Padme protect for now, it certainly covers 3 squares of B1 droids, which gives me the idea of ​​creating an army of assassin droids, looking at the system, the price of an IG-Series assasin droid is only 1,000,000, which although expensive it's worth it, but that will have to be done later.

I decide to take a look at my status before actually going to rest.

*****************

My status has not changed much, since I am not training effectively, which again reminds me that I need to resume my training, but at the moment I was looking at the skills I intend to buy with SP and PP.

[SITH ALCHEMY] {MIDI-CHLORIAN MANIPULATION}

Sith alchemy, was a science that referred to a number of areas under the Sith. It encompassed any power or technique which used the Dark side of the Force to permanently alter an item or living being. It is rejected by the Jedi as an act of treason against the Force's will.

[13SP]

.........

One of the things that worried me a lot, as soon as I considered a family in this world, was my immortality, I realized that I would see my family and friends die, while only I was left, and to prevent this, I thought about this ability, it is the same that Sidius uses for manipulate Anakin, but unlike Anakin, I can get it through the system, so I'm saving points to buy it.

While for perks, there were limited options, and the 3 most useful ones I found were.

[MINIMAP] (BASIC VERSION)

Grants a metal projection of the surrounding map.

Shows all living beings within the radius of reach. (This version does not specify ally and enemy)

Current range: 1 Kilometers radius

[2PP]

.........

[BULLET TIME]

Increases speed of precognition and reflexes

[3PP]

.........

[ANIMAL SENSES]

Improves vision, hearing, smell and taste.

[2PP]

...........

There are still some that can be considered useful, but these are the ones I considered the most, but it seems that this is not a decision for the moment, taking another look at my status reminds me again, of my lightsaber training, seeing Qui-Gon and Maul fight showed me that in melee I am at a great disadvantage, it doesn't mean I'm scared, as I can just teleport away, but I still need lightsaber training, which again brings me to the problem to have a master.

While the idea of ​​joining the Jedi is not very pleasing, I consider trying to form an alliance with the order, as I know that Qui-Gon will ask me to accompany him to the Jedi Council as soon as we arrive at Coruscant I decide to leave it up to decide when the time comes.

With those thoughts I close my eyes and slowly fall asleep ...
