Return to Tython<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

by AJ Marks<\/span><\/p>\n

Part 1<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Lexxa slowly became aware of the knocking on her door wondering which of her crew was disturbing her sleep now. She knew how it wasn\u2019t, curled beside her Kira stirred a bit at the knocking and answered before Lexxa could.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhoever is knocking better have a good reason for disturbing us,\u201d Kira said causing Lexxa to chuckle at that. Kira could be many things, but patient wasn\u2019t one of them, especially when waking up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll go check it out,\u201d Lexxa replied, giving Kira kiss on her forehead before slipping out of bed, wrapping a robe around her body headed to the door.<\/p>\n

She heard the engines of the ship humming and assumed there was no problems with some system. Opening the door she spotted Doc standing there looking slightly uncomfortable with something.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood, you\u2019re up,\u201d he said, giving her a grin.<\/p>\n

\u201cAm now, what\u2019s going on?\u201d she asked, watching as the grin slid off his face but quickly recovered to inform her of why he was knocking.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, hopefully I didn\u2019t wake her,\u201d Doc said, his tone indicating Kira before continuing. \u201cThe Jedi Council is asking to speak with you when you\u2019re available.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAren\u2019t we supposed to be on vacation,\u201d Kira said from inside the bedroom.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Raven problem was difficult, but they want to talk to our Jedi hero here,\u201d Doc said. \u201cAnd I already tried stalling as long as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay, inform them I\u2019ll be right there,\u201d Lexxa said, turning back into the bedroom and closing the door so she could dress.<\/p>\n

Kira had already gotten up and was starting to put on her clothes. Lexxa took a moment to watch her lover as she moved around the room.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou like?\u2019 Kira asked, her movements turning more sexual.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course,\u201d Lexxa replied back with a grin.<\/p>\n

\u201cInsatiable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly with you,\u201d Lexxa replied wrapping an arm around her loving the feel of skin on skin.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood,\u201d Kira said, suddenly slipping away from the embrace. \u201cNow, oh great hero, we have a Council who wants to talk to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSpoil sport,\u201d Lexxa replied back before heading over to her own clothes and put them on.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, we do have Doc stalling,\u201d Kira replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, no telling what he\u2019s telling Master Satele,\u201d Lexxa replied, stopping to think about that, not knowing if it was a good or bad thing. Doc could be very suave if he had to, and other times almost insulting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI almost shudder to think what\u2019s he\u2019s been telling her,\u201d Kira replied back both knowing their relationship was more than padawan master as the Council thought and Lexxa was in no mood to uncover that part of her life to anyone else aside from those she trusted.<\/p>\n

Finally finished she paused as Kira stopped her.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere,\u201d she said, brushing Lexxa\u2019s hair for a bit. \u201cYou have bed hair.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAh, thanks,\u201d Lexxa said waiting patiently.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere, no go on, I\u2019ll catch up,\u201d Kira said. Her shorter hair was easier to manage than Lexxa\u2019s long red hair as she made her way out of the room and towards the communicator dressed in her familiar white and gold outfit, which matched her lightsabers, more of a gold color than yellow.<\/p>\n

She noticed that the others were all in the communications room waiting for her, including a recent addition, an HK unit which had joined up with her, called HK-51. He had been an interesting addition but shown to be very loyal.\u00a0 Activating the communicator she watched as Master Satele appeared.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaster Satele, I was informed you wished to speak with me?\u201d Lexxa said, as Kira joined them.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaster Lexxa, sorry for disturbing you, I know we said we wouldn\u2019t but we\u2019ve become aware of a new development here on Tython,\u201d Satele stated making Lexxa wonder what was going on. \u201cIt involves the Twi\u2019lek settlement nearby.\u00a0 The Matriarch is asking for you personally to help her out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lexxa had to think about a lifetime ago and her time on Tython as a padawan. She recalled the young Twi\u2019lek, Ranna, and the struggles she had with her people.\u00a0 She had not heard much since leaving, partly due to the fact she had been fighting Sith Lords, the Emperor, been forced to the dark side, the Hutts, and the whole thing with Raven.\u00a0 She had been on Tython recently when everything with Raven erupted and hoped the village had been spared.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s the problem?\u201d Lexxa asked getting to the main problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Flesh Raiders have organized again and are attacking the village. We have reason to believe that it\u2019s a Sith left over from the invasion, We\u2019ve lost two padawans in attacks as they tried to uncover what was going on,\u201d Satele replied back to her.\u00a0 \u201cThe Council is still working to rebuild our own defenses, and cover our losses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI can afford to take some time and check it out,\u201d Lexxa said knowing she couldn\u2019t stand by and allow Ranna to face the trouble alone, not after pledging to be a family to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood, I\u2019ll feel better knowing you are working on this problem,\u201d Satele replied. \u201cYou\u2019ve yet to fail us, and I think this won\u2019t be much of a problem to you after what you\u2019ve faced.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a great team, I\u2019ll report in when I arrive,\u201d Lexxa replied, as the conversation ended turning to the others.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell I\u2019ll set course to Typhon, maybe it\u2019ll be nicer this time, no Sith warships,\u201d Doc said heading towards the other end of the ship where the bridge was to set the course.<\/p>\n

\u201cTython, not where I expected to go next,\u201d Rusk said from where he sat. \u201cI wasn\u2019t aware you had any contacts there outside of the Jedi.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a Twi\u2019lek village nearby under the rule of a young Matriarch named Ranna who I helped out a bit,\u201d Lexxa replied back to them. \u201cHelped me out when I was a padawan and my first real mission as a Jedi.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe home of the Jedi, they will not welcome me there,\u201d Scourge replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re with me, that should be enough,\u201d Lexxa said. \u201cBut we\u2019ll need to figure out the problem first.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cObservation,\u201d HK-51 said. \u201cAs long as there are meatbags to target I don\u2019t care.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the Flesh Raiders are attacking again, you\u2019ll have plenty of targets,\u201d Lexxa replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cExcited answer, then I can\u2019t wait,\u201d HK replied back causing Lexxa to shake her head at him. He was loyal, but had a single-minded devotion to solving any problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cReturning back to Tython, that should bring back memories, and maybe I can see master Kiwiiks and see how she\u2019s recovering,\u201d Kira said even as they heard the engines power up.<\/p>\n

Lexxa knew that Kira thought fondly of her first master but it also brought up another problem with her lover. She knew she had to speak with her about a subject otherwise it might result in an argument later on.\u00a0 Looking on she saw Rusk had moved away to probably check on the ammo reserves and Scourge was meditating.<\/p>\n

\u201cA word,\u201d Lexxa said to Kira moving out of the room and back to her quarters with Kira following.<\/p>\n

Once in the room she noticed Kira seemed to know something was going on.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll right, what galaxy shattering things are you doing to drop on me this time?\u201d Kira asked, her hands on her hips waiting.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve heard of the ritual of the Twi\u2019leks, where you become a sister of theirs?\u201d Lexxa asked waiting for the expected reply not disappointed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWait a second, you mean you and the Matrairch are also lovers?\u201d Kira replied back to her. \u201cWhat is it with you, every woman in the galaxy is at your feet, or is she a former lover?\u201d<\/p>\n

Lexxa watched her lover rant a bit and waited for her to run out of steam and face her again before saying anything.<\/p>\n

\u201cDone?\u201d Lexxa asked calmly.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I\u2019m just getting started,\u201d Kira replied back, but any further words were interrupted a passionate kiss before breaking apart.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow are you done?\u201c Lexxa asked looking into passion filled eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cDone? With what\u201d Kira replied back causing Lexxa to chuckle before sitting them both down on the bed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had met you twice at the time, once in the Council chamber and the other time after defeating a Flesh Raider which could use the Force,\u201d Lexxa replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, yeah, I remember that, it caught Master Kiwiiks off guard,\u201d Kira said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, and helping out the Matriarch, Ranna, who had lost her mother, she was really lost. We became friends, almost a shared kinship, and we pledged to be sisters, but nothing else happened between us,\u201d Lexxa replied, not saying that Ranna was cute, that would started another argument.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I guess you weren\u2019t cheating on me,\u201d Kira said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, and who wanted a threesome with Lana? Or how about Doctor Lemda?\u201d Lexxa replied back watching s Kira seemed to think about that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, they were cute, and it was fun,\u201d Kira said finally.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, it was, but Ranna isn\u2019t like that,\u201d Lexxa said. \u201cShe is more like my sister, and I would do anything for my family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know,\u201d Kira replied, leaning into Lexxa. \u201cI\u2019ve seen you do it, and you\u2019ve defended me several times, including in front of the Council.\u00a0 She\u2019s not going to try and seduce you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, there wasn\u2019t much there last time,\u201d Lexxa replied honestly. \u201cAnd I think we\u2019re more family than anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, all right,\u201d Kira said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll see you have nothing to worry about,\u201d Lexxa said, but wondered if her lover might try for a threesome. They had yet to involve a Twi\u2019lek and it might prove, interesting.\u00a0 She then headed to the bridge to see if they were on course and when they would arrive on Tython.<\/p>\n

*****<\/p>\n

Lexxa walked towards the Jedi Council with Kira, Doc and T7. Scourge remained on board saying he would look after the ship, and Rusk volunteered as well as did HK.\u00a0 She knew nothing would happen even to the ship but that Scourge was uncomfortable around so many Jedi.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve cleaned up the place quite nicely,\u201d Doc said looking around at the building.<\/p>\n

\u201cHard to believe I\u2019m back where I started with you,\u201d Kira said, causing Lexxa to look over at her. They had met for the first time back in the council and she found herself enjoying the outspoken young padawan.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou haven\u2019t changed much since then, still outspoken and brash, one of the things I love about you,\u201d Lexxa said giving her a playful bump.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey, we\u2019re almost in the Council room,\u201d Kira said, but blushed at the compliment anyways.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf all the Jedi, I travel around with I had to get two of the craziest ones,\u201d Doc said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks,\u201d Kira replied as they walked into the Council room.<\/p>\n

Lexxa glanced around seeing that many of the masters were already there, most she recognized a few she did not.<\/p>\n

\u201cWelcome Master Lexxa,\u201d Satele said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaster Satele, what\u2019s the situation?\u201d Lexxa asked getting down to business.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t have much information, but shortly after the attack on Tython the Flesh Raiders started attacking the Twi\u2019lek settlement. We assumed, along with the Matriarch, it was caused by the recent fighting,\u201d Satele stated.\u00a0 \u201cHowever, that has changed when our two padawans were killed.\u00a0 We have felt a presence on the planet which gathers the dark side, and we feel it is this presence which is influencing the Flesh Raiders.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAny idea who it might be, or how powerful?\u201d Lexxa asked hoping it wasn\u2019t a powerful Sith Lord.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry, but we do not have any more information at hand,\u201d Satele replied honestly. \u201cThe Matriarch might have some more information, especially about those who have attacked her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThen I guess that\u2019s where we\u2019re going to be headed,\u201d Lexxa replied, hearing T7 chirp his concern about heading back to a place which had betrayed them. \u201cRelax T7, Ranna wasn\u2019t part of that and I trust her.\u201d Lexxa turned back to Satele.\u00a0 \u201cThere are still some people on board my ship, please give them some privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Sith Lord Scourge,\u201d Satele replied guessing who was still up there.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, he is uncomfortable around us still. If I need him I\u2018ll communicate with him,\u201d Lexxa replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019ll have any problems with him,\u201d Satele said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s being \u2018watched\u2019 by Rusk, a former Republic command, and an HK droid,\u201d Lexxa said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m almost more concerned with HK doing something than Scourge,\u201d Kira stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has a one track mind,\u201d Doc replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, we better get going, don\u2019t want to bore the Council with my team\u2019s internal problems,\u201d Lexxa said looking at her three companion.<\/p>\n

\u201cLead on oh fearless leader,\u201d Kira stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cHa-ha,\u201d Lexa replied, but gave a respectful bow to the council before heading out and towards the speeders to head to the Twi\u2019lek village.<\/p>\n
