Pijal Liberated

The three of us entered the royal palace to seek Fanry. She should be where the throne room, and conference room is at. I've told Arla and Furia to remain cloaked physically, and in the Force. I don't want the Jedi knowing of them just yet. Despite that they'll have their suspicions after today.

"Arla, Furia, remain outside the palace. Monitor form the roof and windows.", I ordered.

They split of from me and I entered the palace alone. The halls were clean. Meaning that the hostile takeover wasn't bloody.

I reached the open door of the conference room which was behind the throne room. I hear yelling as soon as I got close.

I looked inside and saw Master Rael Averross being yelled at by Fanry at unpoint. The parliament standing behind him in fear.

Aveross had his lightsaber out and two dead royal guards at his feet.

"Rael! Surrender! Pijal's fate was never yours to steer.

"No! You should surrender. This is tyrannical.", Averross argues back.

Fanry scowls with indignation, "Tyranny? My people are being turned into corporate cattle and turning my home into their playground. My royal house has always taken care of the people and the world. It is why we've been in power so long. Because we are worthy to lead Pijal. You had no right to invite Czerka Tyranny and negotiate a one-sided deal with them for a hyperplane stabilizing station."

Averross attempts to defend himself, "The parliament voted on the deal. The people voted on thought them."

Fanry practically screamed, "They got bought off by Czerka! Just like your damn Republic is bought off by the mega corporations! You old blind fool!"

I uncloaked and step into the conversation, "Czerka is no longer a problem anyways. All Czerka presence has been wiped out. Only some employees that weren't in my path or collateral damage still live. The station is also under our complete control. Fanry is back in control. Surrender Master Aveross, the Jedi have overstepped here. The parliament must also face punishment for their corruption."

Master Aveross puts on a difficult expression seeing and hearing me, "I must uphold the peace. I must set this right. It is all of you that must pay for your crimes. It is my duty to protect the voice of the people. I will investigate the parliament myself, but you all must stand down. You've gone too far with this carnage."

Stubborn Jedi.

I enhance myself with Force Speed and jaw the Jedi with my heavy fist; sending him into a wall unconscious. He couldn't even react.

I then turn to Fanry with a questioning tilt of my head.

She orders firmly, "Kill every parliament member. They have all taken money from Czerka."

I nod and the politicians start begging for their lives.

I don't the use any weapons and beat my them all to death. I Force grabbed any that tired to to run. Most died in one hit from my fists and boots.

I face Fanry when I is all over, "Princess Fanry, contract complete. Pijal has been liberated. Control on the station ensures only authorized spacecraft can access the lane. You're plant is back in your control."

Finally, Fanry smiled.

Everything afterwards was cleanup. Averross was arrested and charged with being a usurper. Jinn and Kenobi were not hired with anything. As they had no hand in the events besides baring witness.

In addition to it contractual pay. We've been given a free pass to the planet whenever we want. No questions asked neither.

Fanry also asked for training through an additional contract. Arla took up the contract. Furia didn't as her witchy ways were not suitable for Fanry. The princess doesn't have the midichlorian count for it.

Fanry was initially surprised to learn of Arla, but realize that it made sense. As other stations were being taken out while I was destroying the Czerka district.

The contract turned out better than I thought it would. Securing a planetary ruler as a friend is an excellent extra reward.
