Chapter 9: Eden Tree's Apple of Knowledge

Adrian goes to the Togruta and uses an weakened version of the Apple of Eden on him. It doesn't work.

He uses the Skelton Key on Togruta's mind to make it more vulnerable to the Apple of Eden.

The reason why he had immediately done this and not even bothered with asking him a question was simple. If Cad Bane and Jango Fett couldn't get the information out if someone. Then nothing other then a Force Mind Trick can do it.

Thus, he decided to make things quick to impress the other two that he got the information from the Togruta incredibly fast.

After that he got info of location and reason that Gadak Rifeleb is trying to kill Jabba.

Gadak Rifeleb had to leave his wife and daughter on Tattooine when the Black Sun came to collect a debt from him.

To protect them he had to leave and pay his debt off first.

Years later, he still hadn't paid off his debt but contacted his family regularly.

But one day his wife and daughter were taken by Jabba's thugs as slaves. They became Jabba's personal slaves and toys.

One day Jabba got enraged at the daughter as she had spilled Jabba's drink on the floor.

Jabba had her killed, the mother tried to save her daughter but was killed as well but only after Jabba 'enjoyed' himself with her one last time.

He told them that he would let them free if they 'serviced' him one last time.

Jabba had kept his 'word' by freeing them...through the release of death.

Gadak Rifeleb learned of this and abandoned his concern if paying the debt he owed to the Black Sun.

He left to kill Jabba but was unfortunate that he failed as the bomb he had somehow didn't have a good signal with the detonator thus he failed to kill Jabba.

After that he got help from the Togruta friend to hide under the Black Sun's nose on Ord Mantell.

This worked but unfortunately Jango Fett had tracked him down and Cad Bane was already on the planet having completed his recent job.

It was around that time that a strange looking girl had appeared and had heard about Gadak Rifeleb's situation.

She felt pity for him as she had said she had grown tired of seeing things like what happened to Gadak Rifeleb, happen all across the Galaxy for so long.

She had made Gadak Rifeleb, the Togruta Associate and the Human, that is now dead thanks to Adrian, swear not to reveal anything about her or she won't help him.

They all agreed. That was when she changed to look like Gadak Rifeleb and had tricjed Jango Fett in following her elsewhere.

She was then able to escape from him, Gadak Rifeleb arrived and hid on Ord Mantell and the Human would stay and observe on Tattooine, also prevent as many Bounty Hunters from hunting Gadak Rifeleb as he could.

After that, the Togruta met with him again and helped Gadak Rifeleb hide in a shopkeeper apartment.

The shopkeeper was tied up for the time being. He hid at the merchant district because he can oversee and view everything that happens and all the people from the Appartment safely hidden.

The Togruta friend before Adrian right now, is the brother of Gadak Rifeleb's Wife.

The Human was just a person who owed Gadak Rifeleb a life debt and had experienced a similar situation like what Gadak Rifeleb's family had gone through.

After learning all that, Adrian was overwhelmed.

He vowed to kill Jabba when he is of no further use. He would ensure that day comes quicker than what was initially planned, even if he would derail the story of the Clone Wars itself, at this point he didn't care. He will Butcher every Hutt alive!

He had felt partially guilty at having killed the Human on Tattooine after learning his intentions.

However, he got over it with the excuse that the Human tried killing him and challenged him. The Human knew what the consequences were and the dangers of what he was doing.

He mind wipes Togruta captive, by using the Apple of Eden, and returns upstairs.

He tells them he erased the Togruta captive's memories after getting the Intel and reason. He tells them about Intel he gathered. All except the girl Jinx.

He didn't know why but she was important. This...feeling, that he had gotten was more than enough to tell him that he had to meet her. He won't go around exposing her since she herself had tried to keep her identity a secret.

If Adrian could capture her, he could instantly find out everything about her easily. But until then, he will play by her rules and keep the information on her confidential.

If she encounters Jango or Cad Bane and they ask Adrian about her. He'll just lie and say that he didn't know since the Togruta never mentioned it.

Cad Bane threw bunch of credits to Jango. Adrian figured out what happened and chuckled inside his mind.

In order for Cad Bane to quell his lost Prode he goes to kill the captive, but Adrian stops him and tells him he doesn't need to die since he erased his memories.

They ask how he did it. He said trade secret. Like hell he will reveal that he had ISU Eden Artifacts.

They had eventually left to scout a new point that they will use to track down Gadak Rifeleb.

Adrian tells them he needs to sort out a few things with his gear and the Togruta captive then he'll meet them. They agree and exited the house.

Only just now does he remember that Jango Fett is the mentor of Cad Bane. He thinks about the Obi-Wan Kenobi and Amakin Skywalker duo.

He ponders about the "Chosen One".

As he thought about the "Chosen One", he feels a great terror and weight loom on him. He was overcome with fear and pulls out his weapons looking everywhere in the room.

The fear conqours him to the core as he frantically looks everywhere keeping his eyes open like a madman that hadn't slept in years.

When he turns around one last time he comes face to face with an beautiful white haired female figure.

He could nor be fooled by the attractiveness of the Being before her.

He knew who she was...

He knew she is...

What she truly looks like without this Illusion she had made of herself...

He immediately realises the figure as one of the most powerful entities in this Universe He had hoped to not met so soon if ever...

This was one of the Gods of the Living Force...

The Mother of The Ones, The Mother of Chaos...

Abeloth...
