Toxic

I don't own star wars…

Eventually, a day later after we went back to Tattooine for the beginning of Milky's treatment. Zero got back to us and I informed him of my plan… he told me it was sound, and that I was crazy…

"But I like it…" he laughed over the com, "But I have to ask Aiden what makes you think I know where there is a lost holocron? I just told Knights that to get him out of my house…"

I stared at the com, "…Because I know you." I stated simply, "You know where one is… just tell me and Toxitus. Then we ambush him… there's no way he could resist retrieving a holocron or letting someone else take it. He's a sith, he'll want that pleasure all to himself."

Zero laughed again, it was unnerving. But when he finally stopped, he spoke rather darkly. "Dagobah. There's a temple deep in the swamp of Dagobah. I sent agents there once just to see if I could find some leverage over a few darths… they all went fairly mad once they went inside, so I left it there for a later date…" he paused for a moment, "But whether there is a holocron there or not remains to be seen… still it will serve our purpose. I'll give you three days Aiden before I tell him… make use of that while you can. Make sure you're properly prepared…"

He hung up. And I took a breath.

"…This is moving quickly…" I jumped as I turned to see Yura leaning on my doorway. "We could just run you know… find some colony." She said, she wouldn't meet my eyes. "…Altora might just forget about you if we did… leave everything behind us."

I sighed again, she wasn't wrong… but it wouldn't be right. "I'm not asking anyone to come… but…" I shook my head, "…But I'm not letting my bitch of a mother do what she wants… not anymore. I'm not going to run from her or her pet sith." I smiled at Yura, "…You and anyone who doesn't want to come can stay on Tattooine… Torga will take care of you if that's what you want."

She laughed, smiling at me, "Don't be stupid… Nobody's leaving. Well maybe Short-round but we're not telling him." She kissed me gently, "…Now… you better get everything in order… because this is the point of no return."

"I uh…" I cleared my throat as I wrapped my hands around her waist, "You really shouldn't do that… I need to save up for Milky." She chuckled again and caressed my shoulders.

"Yeah yeah…" she mumbled, twirling away as she went for my door. "…That's part of your preparations to, if I'm to understand it…" she let her hand linger rather seductively on the door frame, "…I need to prepare too."

And she was gone… and I was alone with my thoughts.

I gave everyone else the offer later that night. They could leave, or stay, I let them all know now… surprisingly nobody left. Not even Short-round.

However, unlike everyone else's reason, his was entirely selfish. "Well if you die I can have the ship right?"

"… Thank Short-round your loyalty is unfathomable." I grumbled sarcastically as I noticed Xalbaia checking Milky's blood pressure and making her take a few odd-colored pills. "So… can anyone think of anything else to take?"

"Grenades." Baleen noted smugly, handing out a collection to everyone. "Activate and toss… and hope he doesn't force push them back…"

"If I can draw his lightsaber you could potentially shoot him in the back…" Caradoc noted, "But I won't be able to hold him for long. Plus there will also be his apprentice…"

"…I'll take care of her." I said crossing my arms, "…I think I'll be able to lure her away from him… and if you all could keep him distracted long enough then maybe we'll be able to wrap this up quick."

Yura frowned at that, her eyes closing thoughtfully. "…Aiden and I will take care of the apprentice… I don't want you going after her alone. Caradoc. You Scarlet and Baleen keep Toxitus distracted, but don't engage him if you can avoid it."

"…We'll just be in the way…" Milky noted, "I'm not a good shot at all anyway…"

Xalbaia snorted and pulled her hand away from Milky's wrist, "Agreed." She then looked at Onara, "You too you little traitor. Your teeth won't do any good against hot plasma." The big Kath hound snorted but continued to snooze.

I nodded as I got up from the table, "In that case… let's head to Dagobah… We can get the lay of the land and look for this temple Zero described."

Yura got us in the air before we knew it… and the whole ship was somber as Baleen and Scarlet did some last-minute adjustments on their weapons with Short-round, and Caradoc went into a sort of meditative state with his axe. I checked my own weapons… but there was very little I could do except make sure they were fully charged and loaded… then I went to my room.

I contemplated calling my sisters one last time… but then I decided against it. No point in making them worry… but as I sat on my bed my door opened again and Milky entered with Xalbaia. Milky bounced excitedly in place as Xalbaia rolled her eyes. "…Okay." She said finally, "I've done all that I could with what I could find… if you were going to do the deed this is the best time." She stared at the fidgeting Milky. "…Well actually there is one more thing I could do…" she then handed Milky a tiny pink pill, and turned to walk out, "Have fun… don't kill him." She added, shutting the door behind her.

Milky looked at the pill for a moment, before opening her mouth wide and holding it above her, letting it drop into her mouth as she swallowed.

"…Oh…" I mumbled as she quickly approached me, pulling off her shirt and tossing it aside as she kissed me, pushing me back onto the bed as her tits pressed against my chest. I groped her shapely ass as I pulled her onto me, suddenly she began to moan as her tongue slipped into my mouth and I helped her with her shorts…

She dripped arousal onto me as she kicked her shorts away and helped me with my shirt, barely stopping her lips as she removed it and began working on my pants. Her pussy was practically dripping onto my bed as my erection shot free of my pants, impatiently pointing up at her waiting pussy as she straddled me. She groped her tits as she looked down at me, my cock head gently kissing her pussy lips as she prepared to penetrate. She began to pant, biting her lower lip as she squeezed her tits. Teasing me with her pussy as she wiggled her hips like a dog in heat…

Finally, I couldn't wait anymore, I grabbed her hips and pulled her down. She pinched her nipples hard as she felt me stretch her open, she screamed in delight as an orgasm hit her, her pussy squeezing lovingly around my length as she did. I sat up, determined not to let her do all the work as I buried my face into her breasts, wrapping my hands under her ass and lifting her up, and down. She helped me, using her legs to move as I bounced her on my lap.

"Fuck me. Fuck me!" she begged as she sped up, I began thrusting up to meet her as she slammed down onto me. Wrapping her arms around my head and pulling me deeper into her chest as I lapped away at her tits. "Fuck me!" she began trembling, she was cumming again. I lifted her from the bed and ran across to the wall, her legs failing as I began shoving harder inside her, pinning her to the wall as her legs spasmed with each thrust.

"Oh Force!" she moaned, as I plowed away into her. Leaning back so I could watch her tits bounce for me as I moved. "You feel so good!" her fingers bit painfully into my shoulders as she screamed another orgasm, squeezing me again as I plowed steadily on. Her body jiggled and shook as it ran through her, her eyes rolling happily as her tongue lolled.

I kept on, steadily stroking my cock with her pussy as she went a little limp. Xalbaia's little drug apparently. I squeezed her ass, feeling her tighten up at the feeling. Then I pushed her up against the wall and fired… feeling my seed rush into her womb as she moaned.

"Yes…" she hissed, panting again as she felt me throb inside her. "…I need it all…" I pulled her away from the wall, making sure we were still connected as I turned around and slammed her back onto my bed, climbing over her and adjusting her legs so her pussy pointed straight up.

"Can't have you leaking…" I smiled down at her, "You want it all remember?" I said, kissing her as her pussy clenched around me, begging for more…

Then she audibly did it. "More…" she moaned, shaking her hips to get me going, "More Aiden, More…"

"More huh?" I said lovingly, slowly pulling out of her pussy as she whimpered impatiently, "Well alright…" I slammed back into her, burying my cock to the balls as her pussy squeezed around me, actually getting tighter as I moved. "I got more."

"Yes!" she yelled happily as I stretched her pussy, it felt slicker than before… I wondered if it was her or my cum. "Give me your cum!" her toes clenched, and her hands squeezed her tits as she came again. Her body acted on instinct as she watched me with her eyes, not looking away as she came again. "Oh force! It's better! It's better than before!" she shrieked, her hands pinching her nipples so hard they turned red. "I'm cumming! I'm cumming!" she shrieked in a primal roar as her back arched, "Blow your load inside me!"

I slammed deep, and pinned her down as her whole body instinctively shivered, firing another load into her as I hissed into her ear, her pussy painfully tight as I slammed a few final steady strokes, feeling her hands claw my back as she held me close.

I pulled off her, letting her legs spread wide as she lay on the bed, I stared at her body for a moment as her breast rose and fell as she breathed, I gave her tits a playful squeeze as she moaned, tightening again as I did. Then I slipped my hands down to her waist and lifted her gently… before beginning again. Her tits bounced rhythmically as she moaned again, her body trembling as I thrust into her.

Her hands began moving to her tits again, but I shook my head, "I want to watch them." I said firmly, and her hands hesitantly moved to the bed. Gripping the sheets tightly as my cock moved in and out of her slippery pussy. I watched her tits move up and down invitingly… I wanted to fuck them and blow my load all over her face… but I had a job to do. And a pussy to fill…

"Take it!" I roared, slamming deep into her as she screamed another orgasm, twitching erotically as I filled her once more. Making her drip all over the floor as I held my balls firmly to her soft ass. I dropped onto her, pinning her in place as I kissed her, she still moaned into my mouth as her hands obediently clawed at the sheets. "Fuck…" I breathed softly as I pulled away… "One more."

With some effort I flipped her over, hands still on her waist as I slapped her ass hard and fucked her from behind, her toes scraping against the floor as she orgasmed again and went limp. Drooling as I fucked her hard from behind, collapsing onto her as I slammed against her soft plushy ass. She came again, groaning while I plowed deep inside her. I grabbed her shoulders to pull her back against me. "Cumming!" I roared after a hard steady pace of fucking her tight and accepting pussy, I slammed against her and let it flow… I pushed the last of my seed into her, my balls aching painfully as they slapped against her legs.

I got up, and gave her ass a slap and a squeezing, pushing her cheeks together as I slowly pulled out. She quivered and leaked a little of my cum, but I quickly flipped her over again, aiming her pussy up to keep it all inside her. Her pussy was pulsing around my cock as if trying to swallow all my cum into her… I prodded her ass with a finger, she whimpered but quivered awake. "…Its… its got to go in my pussy…" she mumbled weakly…

I held her legs up, and crawled to her side, letting my cock press against her lips. She frowned, "No… pussy…" she mumbled, but her mouth slowly opened and I slipped into her mouth. She suckled it like a bottle, I put my other hand on her head and guided her forward as she slipped down my length. Greedily sucking off the mixture of her pussy and my cum. She pulled off and let her skilled tongue do laps around my cockhead before moving back down, moaning lovingly as I throbbed.

"I want to cum in your mouth…" I told her lovingly, petting her hair as she tried to pull away. I let her go. "But I love you." I said, climbing over her trembling body one last time as I prodded her pussy. "So I know what you want…"

I buried myself into her, and fired immediately, her mouth riled me up too much to do much else… "Get pregnant…" I told her, licking her neck as I let her relax, still staying inside her as I finally gave up. "I better keep you plug up so you don't leak…" I squeezed her tits, feeling her pussy tighten weakly around my length… she was just as exhausted. But she still managed one last squeak of pleasure as she came.

"I'm so full…" she purred, rubbing her belly as I relaxed on top of her. "I'm so full…" she repeated, licking my ear affectionately as she let me collapse fully onto her. She gave one last sigh, and fell asleep… and I soon joined her, still throbbing inside her.

I… don't remember much after that… but I do remember waking up on Dagobah a day later (still inside Milky, but beneath her) Yura parked the rebel deep into the swampy forested undergrowth of the foul-smelling ominous planet. I wasn't even force sensitive and I knew this place reeked of the darkside and rotten corpses… in fact in scouting for the 'temple' as Zero put it Caradoc and Scarlet found several… imperial, republic… long ago rotted away, but there were some fresher than most.

The temple was a poor choice of words, it was an old rotten tomb of rock and vines that sunk halfway into the swamp, but we weren't going to enter it. We just needed to know where it was and plan accordingly…

Caradoc, Baleen and Scarlet spent the day setting all sorts of traps and getting upgrades from Short-round's armory but there was still wildlife on this wet hellhole of a planet so if anything was still there by the time Toxitus came I would be surprised…

However the imminent danger to my life turned out to be my cathar girlfriend…

"Holy force ghosts Milky you are going to kill me…" I groaned beneath her as I finished inside her once more, caressing her waist as she absently rubbed her belly, looking down at me adoringly as she slowly lifted herself up and down on me.

"Don't… be… dramatic!" she moaned, shivering on me as she came, her hands clawing into my chest… kinda painfully. I briefly debated wearing armor for this but then I remembered that Short-round was giving it a re-plating, making sure everything was as good as it could be… "Fuck Aiden…" she cooed, dropping onto me as pressing her lips firmly against mine in a kiss. "…Have I finally worn you out?"

"You do remember I need to kill a sith Lord right?" I groaned, panting as she snuggled against me. "I might need all day tomorrow to recover from this!"

She giggled, purring lovingly as she rubbed her furry cheek against mine, "So I have then?"

"Please… let me rest…" I begged exhaustedly, dropping my head onto my pillow, "I'm basically firing dust at this point… poof!"

"That's descriptive…" said Scarlet from the door, smiling rather coyly as she watched, "Anyway we've done all we can to prepare… want to come have a look?"

"Yes. Please help." I begged as Milky rolled her eyes and shifted off me, strutting towards my shower. "Oh force…" I crawled out of bed, my legs jelly and sensitive… my balls were numb, and I think my ass was asleep… it was all almost worth it to make Milky happy…

Scarlet helped me get pants on and dragged me to my feet, pulling on my coat and half dragging half carrying me out of my room towards the ramp of the ship to be hit with the swampy smell of dagobah… there was a faint smell of smoke in the air but no fire… which might have been distressing. We wandered a good few minutes away from the ship well hiding by the trees, which thanks to Yura's skilled piloting we managed with ease.

"We got some mines we placed just outside the… well I hesitate to say temple more like a tomb. But Jedi have this thing about mines, they can usually spot them." Scarlet then gestured off to the east, well I assumed it was east, I'm going to say right. "Yura has some good old-fashioned traps waiting for you and Kaath-Tyi… all you got to do is lead her in there… do what you have to." Then gesturing to some heavy foliage and large trees she continued, "We'll try and delay them as best we can… we'll even try to kill him according to Caradoc."

"Why don't we just let them into the tomb and blow it apart?" I asked, looking at the massive sunken building of carved stone.

Scarlet fidgeted slightly, "…We keep hearing… things…" she said firmly, "…I like you Aiden but I'm not going in there."

"Fair enough…" I noted, getting a good look at the building and imagining an ominous dark cloud rising from it. "…So how are we going to know about them?" I asked, "Well be here for at least a couple days, are we posting watch?"

"Short-Round made a radar thing…" she mumbled, pulling out a couple of handheld devices from her pocket, they looked like poker chips, "We put these around the area, anything human looking gets detected to give us plenty of time.

I sighed, "…Okay… let… get ready to kill a couple sith… that won't end badly."

"Just, stay focused…" she said sheepishly with a shrug, but I groaned. Milky had been using that for the last day… it brought BSOD.

"So…" Scarlet began absently as we began heading back to the ship, "…How's it going with Milky and her quest for a baby…"

"… It's starting to hurt…" I replied, she chuckled, and I looked at her. "…How… does that make you feel?" I asked a little nervously, remembering what my sisters said about Scarlet. 'She likes the job too much.'

She shrugged, "…I never thought I'd have kids, didn't think I had the acceptable lifestyle for it." She glanced at me, "…Is that a problem?"

"Is it?" I replied, a little confused, "I mean if you don't want to have kids I'm perfectly okay with that…" I said clearing my throat a little. "It's not a deal breaker with me if that's what you're asking."

"Well you are trying to knock up your Cathar pet so I imagine it doesn't matter." She said, smiling a little knowingly. "…I'll let you know if I ever want a little Aiden running around…"

"…You know as long as you're Auntie Scarlet to Aiden Jr, not a real name… I think it will all be fine." She smiled affectionately at that, apparently, she liked the idea, and nodded as we went back into the ship.

The ship, with the exception of Milky trying to destroy my hips, was quiet over the last day and a few hours before the approximate arrival of Toxitus, Short-round was glued to his radar, My little Bantha was being played with subtitles on his little Bedlam wrist device as he did. Caradoc sharpened his ax at least three times in an hour before Baleen and Scarlet took it away from him before he turned it into a stub. We all checked our ammo and blaster pacs, Short-round even gave me extra slugthrower ammo at my request…

…Then the day came… and the entire planet seemed to anticipate the showdown, even the wildlife seemed muted as I armored up in the ship along with Baleen and Scarlet, at least as best as Scarlet could with light armor that Short-round had patched up…

Then in the middle of lunch, Short-round beeped… and we stared as he looked nervously at us. "…He's here…" We were surprisingly quiet as we went for the ambush point, leaving Xalbaia, Short-round, Onara and Milky behind as the ship seemed to vanish in the foliage. We were as ready as we were going to be… Yura, holding only her blaster had taken off into the forest to wait for me to lead Kaath-Tyi to the traps. Baleen, Scarlet and Caradoc hid a little closer to the tomb, but I was far ahead of them, I needed to be seen first.

I heard them before I saw them, and I stood out in the open…

Correction… as I saw them; I stood there, like an idiot, as they appeared through the trees.

As far as bad ideas go, I quickly realized this went to the top of our list… Kaath-Tyi appeared just behind a bemused Toxitus while yanking her robes from a nearby bramble angrily, she kicked a nearby puddle as Toxitus suddenly realized I was standing between them and their goal. His grandfatherly eyes widened, it made him look almost comical. Kaath-Tyi, briefly annoyed by the surrounding foliage and the sudden hesitation of her master glowered at him before realizing what he was looking at… namely me.

I held my slugthrower at the ready, it might not be as useful as I would want it to be but it's better than a blaster in some cases. At least, according to my grandfather, slugthrowers should be used against lightsabers…

Kaath-Tyi looked surprised to see me, then she looked unnervingly thrilled. Like she couldn't decide whether to remove a limb or kill me outright… her glasglow grin stretching ominously on her otherwise attractive face.

Toxitus released a half-scoff, half-laugh. "…I have to admit Mr. Kane. I think I'll actually miss you after I have Kaath-Tyi kill you." He said in that grandfatherly tone, before turning to Kaath-Tyi and adding rather lazily, "Kill him."

Kaath-Tyi's lightsaber hissed to life as it glowed in the darkness of Dagobah's swamps,. I raised my slugthrower, I needed to separate them and this was the best way…

I fired…

The metal shrapnel that made up my bullets plowed through the air towards her and instinctively she raised the saber to deflect, but the look of surprise on her face told me that she wasn't expecting that particular ammunition.

She flinched, the metal plowed through the plasma sword, melting to liquid metal tossed against her clothes but she moved just in time to avoid injury. But not quite fast enough, as her robes caught fire. Undoing her robes to reveal a more combat-ready mesh suit beneath it, she dropped it to the ground letting the robe be devoured by inch-deep swamp water to hiss as the flames were engulfed.

Then I turned and ran like I was being chased by photon torpedoes.

They watched me go for a moment… then Kaath-Tyi in obvious fury charged after me as a rather bemused Toxitus made his way carefully toward the tomb.

I could fire six times with my slugthrower before I needed to reload, and I had three more full cartridges. So I could fire a total of 24 times… well excluding that shot, 23.

23…22… 21… I fired over my shoulder at her, she was becoming increasingly infuriated and because she couldn't actually talk I think that was making it worse. And as I forced her to dodge more of my bullets and in her fury slashed down a tree I was confirmed of my suspicions. But hopefully, our traps would spring… where the hell was the traps again!? This whole damn planet looked the same!

She force leaped onto, and bound off the trees after me like a female bouncy ball, landing in front of me. I raised my slugthrower to keep her back. 20, 19. I reloaded and quickly ducked behind a tree as she dodged the shots and she silently cursed me. I could tell, the scowls the head movements, she was definitely thinking up foul words. I took in a deep breath, ignoring the swampy air as I peeked around the tree I was using for cover and ducked quickly as her saber slashed it apart at neck level. I rolled and fired… 18.

She silently screamed as a piece of shrapnel pierced into her leg. Then she held out her hand, and my gun suddenly decided it wanted to fly from my hands, but I held it firm… then it raised up into the air and began firing.

17 shit! 16 shit! 15 14 13! SHIT FUCK SHIT!! she force pushed me into a tree I quickly rolled away again as she came down, splitting the trunk open but hissing as her leg spurted blood from the recently added hole from shrapnel. It delayed her long enough for me to reload, but then as I turned to fire she force-twisted my hand. Making me miss by firing into the ground. 12, SON OF A BITCH!

"Just go down!" I struggled against her force powers, but it was like trying to push a durasteel door open. She raised her saber, I let go of my slugthrower letting it fly forwards and clattering off an exposed tree root, and drew a pistol, firing twice she deflected the bolts into the forest floor and swung her saber slicing my blaster in two pieces…

I dropped my bisected pistol down and scrambled away, drawing my other pistol as she absently kicked my slugthrower aside and approached me dangerously… well fuck. She moved so quickly I didn't have time to react, and I saw my life pass before my eyes as it came down on me…

Then a blaster bolt came from nowhere and she quickly dodged, backing away from me as Yura approached, "Aiden this is not the ambush point!" she scolded, firing, again and again, to push Kaath-Tyi back. Kaath-Tyi sent a few bolts back but towards Yura but she dodged them like they were nothing…

"I know!" I got up and was about to draw my rifle when Yura slapped her blaster into my chest and my hand gripped the handle on reflex.

"Hold this." She demanded, watching Kaath-Tyi determinedly. She grabbed her scope on the blaster as I held it firm against my armor, and she easily yanked it away with a jerk…

…You think you know a person…

The sound of a lightsaber activating roared to life as Yura's azure blue skin was illuminated by a deep crimson red saber blade/blaster scope as she held it like a proper jedi… or sith… or…

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" I shouted at her, but she didn't face me, keeping her gaze on the briefly stunned Kaath-Tyi.

"Aiden can we talk about this later?" she said calmly.

"NO!" I shouted at her, angry and indignant, "You're a jedi!?…" I looked at the blaster in my hand, then the lightsaber in hers. Then the color of her weapon registered in my mind, "You're a sith!?"

"No, I'm a Slave. Now Aiden. Shut up and help me." She said coldly, flourishing the saber as Kaath-Tyi began to look increasingly nervous.

"…We are talking about this later. AT LENGTH." I scolded angrily, pulling up her blaster and mine as I began firing rapidly at Kaath-Tyi who quickly remembered I had blasters. I don't think you can begin to imagine how unhappy and betrayed I felt with this… You do not, not tell someone you can use a fucking lightsaber! That comes up in conversations!

And holy shit she could use a lightsaber. She was on Kaath-Tyi like Milky was on me a couple of days ago. In other words; dangerously aggressive. The sabers clashed at a rapid pace, I couldn't get a safe shot without possibly hitting Yura, although inwardly I felt that she deserved it.

…She should've fucking told me, it's all I'm saying…

Getting a look at my Slugthrower as Yura and Kaath-Tyi fought on surprisingly even grounds I quickly dove towards my slugthorwer. Only for Kaath-Tyi to take time out of her duel to force push it away only to get kicked in the gut by Yura sending her stumbling back as I once again went after my Slugthrower.

"Go after Toxitus!" Yura finally told me, surprising me and Kaath-Tyi from the look on her face. "Go!" she stood between me and Kaath-Tyi flourishing her saber. "I can keep her busy."

Kaath-Tyi snarled, but she stood in a very familiar stance, back when she had a rapier training saber. But she looked concerned for only a moment as Yura took a very odd stance. Holding the saber parallel with her eye level. Pointing right at Kaath-Tyi. "…I'll have a nice long negotiation with her."

"I'm not fucking leaving you here." I scowled, grabbing my slugthrower right as I heard a faint wookiee roar off in the distance followed by several rounds of blaster fire. Baleen and Scarlet. "…Force damn it Yura I am angry with you!" I roared at her, before turning, "You better not die I need to yell at you!"

I felt something tug at my neck, Kaath-Tyi trying force powers again to hold me back, but then the sounds of clashing lightsabers reached my ears as the feeling vanished and I ran back towards Toxitus.

I arrived just as Toxitus broke Baleen's leg. She shrieked in pain and fury as he used the force to slam her hard against a tree, then sliced the trunk in two as it crashed on top of her. I immediately raised my slugthrower and fired.

11, 10. But he moved quickly despite his bulk and the containers of chemicals strapped to his back. One of the nearly full containers shattered as chemicals dripped down his back, his eyes narrowed, and he pressed a button near his shoulder. The destroyed container dropped to the ground, and he rotated his shoulder, apparently getting used to its sudden lightning as he turned towards me.

"My-my Kane you continue to impress me…" he said lazily as he approached, Caradoc roared a battle cry, charging in from the trees and leaping at Toxitus with his axe held high for a downward stroke. He brought it down but Toxitus flicked his wrist, slamming his saber against the shielded shaft of Caradoc's axe. Caradoc was on the defense for two more strokes before Toxitus force pushed him back onto the ground making him roll. I aimed again as Scarlet appeared as we both fired together… 9.

Looking more bored than concerned however Toxitus easily dodged my slugs and swatted the blaster bolt from Scarlet like it was a ball… Scarlet screamed as it blasted into her shoulder and she fell.

8! 7!... reload, 6! fucking 5! "MOTHER FUCKER!"

Then came an ominous hiss…

Toxitus' eyes narrowed, then shifted towards on the tubing of his mask as a green sickly smoke leaked into the air. Then he sighed…

Then he laughed, laughed, laughed and laughed until the forest echoed with the ominous sound… his free hand slowly rose up and gripped the mask before he tore it off… and I suppressed a gag.

His lower jaw skin was a rotten grey color, which was fitting because he looked like he had the jaw of a week-old corpse left out in the sun, everything from his nose down looked like it was barely hanging onto his bones which were black and sickly, and made it look like he had a perpetual grin. His eyes, once annoying grandfatherly were suddenly very, very red. His pupils dilated ominously as he stared at me, his disgusting nostrils flaring as he began to breathe rapidly.

"We… are going to have FUN…" he said, his voice no longer calming but raspy and gravellike. "MR. KANE…"

"Firemane asshole!" I replied, in honest horror and quickly fired again. 4. The shrapnel slammed into his chest, but he looked down at the wounds… then slowly looked back at me. The shrapnel in his chest seemed to be pushed back out towards me, stopping to plug the very wounds I just made. "…Oh fuck me…" I snarled, staring at him in disbelief as he began to approach me, saber out to the side as it dragged on the ground, hissing through dead loam and boiling small pools of water…

"DEAD MAAAAANN!!!!" he shrieked with a primal roar, spittle and loose flesh flapping around his mouth, leaping at me as I fired back at him and rolled, I didn't even bother to check if I hit him. 3.

One thing about this… he wasn't using the force, but he was destroying everything in a mad rage trying to kill me, laughing manically and roaring with a primal fury that Caradoc probably couldn't match. Speaking off. He intervened, stropping the lightsaber for only a moment, before Toxitus struck him with manic strength, then in a moment of clarity, he smashed Caradoc with a powerful force push that sent him flying through several trees the axe spinning away and burying itself into a trunk of a fallen log, before Toxitus turned back on me…

2. He barely dodged the rounds, and I only had two shots left. He didn't let me take it, closing the distance quickly and bringing the saber down, I reacted instinctively, stumbling backward and holding up my slugthrower to try and delay the blow only for it to be split in two as I fell back…

Again… my life flashed before my eyes as his saber went up…

And Exploded in his hand… at least it would have been in his hand if it was still there… a high-powered blaster bolt had slammed into the lightsaber making it explode with energy as Toxitus gripped his bleeding stump of a hand… I got to my feet as he stumbled away, trying to restrain the pain with the force as he had done after taking the slugs to the chest earlier…

Then I ripped the Caradoc's axe from the log, clumsily dragging it towards him as I lifted it and slammed it into his back from behind…

It wasn't a glorious way for him to die… or for me to kill him… but this wasn't about glory, and as I slammed the blade into his twitching corpse again and again I finally buried the weapon deep into his spine just as Caradoc shambled back into sight…

Toxitus lay face down in a pool of blood and swamp water… still as stone.

"We need to get them to Xalbaia right now." I said concerned, approaching Baleen under the tree trunk with Caradoc and with some effort lifting it off her. She was barely conscious, and her lips were bleeding from where she had bit down to deaden her screams. Before I went to check on Scarlet who was gripping her injured smoking shoulder stubbornly. "I need to get back to Yura." I hefted Baleen's heavy blaster, grabbed Toxitu's discarded mask, and quickly ran back after Yura… My dread increased with each step.

I saw the sparks of clashing sabers through the trees… then Yura screamed.

"Fucking bitch!" I roared, entering the clearing as Kaath-Tyi stood over Yura; who was clutching at her face as my heavy blaster roared to life. "Block these!" the blaster roared in my hands as Kaath-Tyi quickly tried to deflect, but she was exhausted and injured, taking to the cover of the trees. "Where you going!?" I roared after her angrily, raising the mask of Toxitus, "Come on! I got something to show you!"

Yura however distracted me, clutching her face as she wept openly on the ground… I tossed the heavy blaster aside and lifted her from the ground, glaring momentarily at her discarded lightsaber. Before I took that too and carried her back towards the others…

"Let me see…" I said, looking down at her as I moved, "…Let me see." I repeated as she held her hands to her face… She pulled her hand away slowly, revealing a thick black slash across her cheek just under her eye, it singed and twitched as she cried. "… It's not bad. It's not bad…" I said trying to comfort her, although I certainly wouldn't know. "…It… it's cool looking it'll build character."

She laughed, but only for a second before covering her face again and burying it into my chest.

I was halfway to the ship when suddenly there was an eruption of noise, the ship the sith had arrived in slowly began to rise from the trees and was almost into the atmosphere before the engines exploded and it came crashing down again farther away… there was a brief pause, then a massive explosive fire..

"…Was that Short-round?" I asked absently as I approached the rebel with Yura.

"Wasn't me…" he said nervously, appearing from the ship looking concerned as I carried Yura up the ramp, "…Boss?"

"Kolto. Now." I said as he ran ahead to prep. "…You're going to be fine." I told Yura

"Stop saying that…" she said sadly, "…I took a lightsaber to the face."

"Xalbaia will look you over after you come out of Kolto." I said as we entered the medbay. Xalbaia was already putting Baleen's leg in a splint as I approached the Kolto tank.

"Ugh her too?" Xalbaia groaned indignantly but seeing my look quickly frowned. "Sorry. Let me see her." She approached Yura and grimaced, "…Kolto. Get her into Kolto." She said, pulling her glove and placing a blue cartridge in the loader, "…You'll feel a slight pinch." She said, placing the glove onto Yura's unscarred cheek and she was out.

We got her into Kolto and began patching up Scarlet, Caradoc limping proudly as he watched Xalbaia binding Scarlet. "…We are all alive… today is a good day.

I held Yura's lightsaber in my hand, I couldn't exactly disagree… most of these wounds were minor, Toxitus was dead and Kaath-Tyi had probably joined him with the crash earlier… but I didn't want to wait around to find out. But as my hand squeezed Yura's saber I frowned… earlier Toxitus was about to kill me and someone had blasted his saber…

"…That was a hell of a shot…" I said suddenly looking at them all, "Toxitus got his hand blown off… who shot him?"

Xalbaia shook her head, "…I assure you Milky and Short-Round were on the ship with me and Onara. It must have been one of them." She gestured to Scarlet and Baleen

"That was a sniper shot." Scarlet said suddenly, flinching as Xalbaia tightened the medical binding onto her shoulder. "…And I'd never admit it, but I can only think of one person good enough to make that shot without being noticed… you should give her a call." She trembled slightly, "…Fuck I need a dip into Kolto too… let's not shoot at another sith lord.

"Yeah good idea. Short-round get us into atmo. If Kaath-Tyi didn't die in that ship crash I don't want her coming after us. Leave her here…"

Short-round saluted as I left the medbay heading to my room, he went in the opposite direction towards the cockpit, "Got it boss…"

I tossed the lightsaber into my cushion corner chair before approaching my com drawer, looking for hers. I found it and activated it, waiting for her answer.

"…Hey." Newt began over the com, "…You guys okay?"

"…Been better…" I said, "But we're all intact."

"…If you look outside a window you might see my ship." She said softly. "Sorry… couldn't stay…"

I nodded as she confirmed Scarlet's suspicions, "…You saved me." I said, not a question, a fact.

"…I did." She replied calmly, "I had to make sure they wouldn't know it's me… if they got away, but I'm glad you're okay." She said apologetically, I don't know why though.

I sighed and took a deep breath, it was hard to be suspicious of her when she actually sounded apologetic. "…Thanks. We're going to tattooine if you want to hang out and talk for a while."

"…I got some things I need to do… but I'll eventually meet you there." There was a long pause, and then she spoke again, a bit firmer. "Aiden regardless of what Zero says… take a break, take a long break and just… relax for a while okay? I'll see you soon."

"…Okay." I replied, "…See you soon." she hung up and I stared at the com in silence, before carefully placing it back into the drawer.

Then my door opened, I honestly expected Milky to shamefully ruin me further, but I was surprised to find a rather serious-looking Xalbaia. She crossed her arms angrily across her chest and sighed. "..We need to go to Coruscant… Scarlet and Baleen need a real medcenter, I've done what I can but I can't work a miracle with what I got."

I sighed angrily, "…I Wish you told me that earlier… like a few minutes ago earlier…"

She shrugged unapologetically, "Yes well…" she shook her head, speaking professionally "…Scarlet took a blaster to the shoulder between her armor plates and far too close to the joint, most normal people can't shrug that sort of thing off, her arm is functioning for now but I cannot help but press that she needs better care then what I can provide her here. And Baleen has a broken leg, while not really as serious as a blaster wound she would recover faster if we weren't being shot at. It would be best for the both of them to be moved to a proper medical facility for proper medical care. We can ignore it if you want but I wouldn't recommend it as a doctor…"

I groaned angrily, but made my way to the cockpit to tell Short-round to take a detour, we'll drop them off and come back after a quick stop at tattooine.

Suffice it to say… they didn't approve at first, but the republic rolled out the red carpet for them. There apparently would be medals and awards, promotions and Baleen wouldn't be on probation anymore… apparently killing a darth would get you places. After making sure they were settled in the medcenter rooms and promising to come back as quickly as possible to check in on them we went back to tattooine…

Had to thank Newt in person after all… and have a very long talk with Yura…

End of Chapter

Is this the last of Kaath-Tyi?

Will killing Toxitus really screw over Altora?

Will Milky kill Aiden in her attempt to have his babies?!

All this and more in the next chapter!

…Maybe…
