Chereads / Star Wars : Last Order / Chapter 8 - A Coin

Chapter 8 - A Coin

A week later

After speaking with William for a while

"So doc you have your research direction?" Asked Victor

William answers while examining a opened body hanged up in the middle of this sic-if laboratory "Yes I understand what you want, I will try to achieve it Master."

"Red Queen, watch over him until I get back" said Victor

"Of course master" replied Red Queen

'The research direction is: essentials - Armor - weapons - biochemistry/ Molecular structure. Hopefully to create some stealth soldiers. That requires material…. Body material, where not that evil to kidnap people and send them here for research or buy them, thats a lot of money, we'll wait until the war breaks out and take some half dead and fully dead clones or Planetary Defense members if there willing…. Oh did I forget to mention pirates and syndicates are DEFINITELY free game hahaha, they will be good research material since they fight more than civilians. As for the willing they will be helped as much as possible and if there are good results the data can be saved for further studies.

Victor walk past a hanger that is also under ground there are 6 Fang-class star fighters and 1 Kom'rk-class fighter/transport and the hanger can open up quickly to allow them to get out quick.

Victor boards the modified Gozanti with storage capacity this one will be used to send materials to the research base, he arrived at tatooine - Mos Espa city and here he should get a transport to Coruscant before that he goes to look at Shmi Skywalker Lars and gets a good look at baby Anakin Skywalker, she has him wrapped up in cloth working for Watto.

Victor walks up to them after pickpocketing some one, that person after walking a few feet on the busy street noticed he's missing some thing he turns around and yells "hey" hoping to catch the would be thief, by the thief turning around and looking at him then running haha that sounds like a good idea.

As the guy looks around after yelling some do turn to him with a questioning look on there face and some noob robbers do start running, 5 to be exact the guy also had a questioning look on his face and don't know witch one to go after he chooses one at random and hope his luck is great today.

Meanwhile Victor is chatting with Shmi and asking about the wears, he thanks her for showing him and pays for the parts as well as gives her a coin.

"It's my lucky coin, I'm giving it to you because I found the parts I needed and hope you find the life or whatever wish you want come true as well, there is a purpose for this coin but it's on you to figure that out." Says Victor

"Oh you shouldn't have…" says Shmi as she tries to give it back

"No I insist, please keep it." Replies Victor

"I just hope my son will have his wishes come true, I'll give it to him when he grows up" says Shmi affectionately while looking at Anakin and rubbing his head

"Have a good day mama I must get going it's nice to meet you…." With a smile on his face he says " I have feeling we will meet again in the future, until next be safe" Victor walks away while putting his hood on.

POV Shmi

Shmi stares at his back then at the coin.

A few hours later

"Ok Watto I'm off"

Watto replies "yes yes see you tomorrow."

Shmi gets home and looks at the coin again and finds it's well made the designs are entrancing the most notable thing is the middle, it's of some kind of animal she believes a long one too, 4 legs and it's making some kind of symbol she has never seen before. The coin bronze in color but the animal is silver in color.

As she is holding it little Anakin is looking at it in his mother's hand and reaches out wanting to grab it.

Shmi puts it away for safe keeping.

Normal POV

Victor walks to a port a ask around if any is going to Naboo and finds one, they ask him to help load the supplies and asked for payment, Victor gave them a option to choose one. And they choose the payment as getting mad and forcing this big guy to pay and pack up the supplies this is something they don't want any trouble with especially with a unknown figure.

The journey was not all good, while they where playing games and Victor was fiddling with some new equipment there ship suddenly stopped, the captain came in a few minutes later and said there are pirates. As this is a civil and quite poor crowd they could not afford a gun or to pay for there flight to Naboo l, so they opted to help pack away stuff for the ride and other stuff that needed to be done before take off. Once aboard the pirates rounded up everyone, there where a few people aboard the ship 8 in total, 6 men 2 girls.

There are 10 pirates, right now everyone is in the common room while 4 of the pirates runs threw the ship scouring for valuables.

"Hey empty your pockets" said one of the pirates to the captain

"Come on man I'm just a small time guy trying to get by, can't you leave us alone or just take what's on the ship." Said the captain

The pirate walks up to the captain and puts his blaster on his head and presses it making the captain start start sweating profusely while bending his head to put less pressure off from the blaster.

"Ok ok , here that's all I have" replied the captain

This went on until it reached Victor as everyone had something taken from them. "Hey big guy empty them pockets" said the pirate a little nervously as he looks at the huge build of this man in front of him.

Victor walks to the man and stands in front of his blaster, the pirate gulps as Victor towers over him. "H-hey man I'm- I-I'm warning you empty your pockets" he looks back at his crew to get some confidence and says "I'm not gong to say it again"

Victor looks at him and uses close combat fist to take away his gun and use the force to pull the other pirates guns out of there hands. He shoots the pirate in front of him and kills 3 others "A Jedi" gasps could be heard, the pirates are shocked and knows it's a bad end if they get caught, so they dove to retrieve there guns, the captain also dove for the gun as well as the other guys, the girls ran away from the fight.

Victor looks on with cold eyes as they fight over the guns the guys eventually win and kills the pirates, while victor stands there holding a blaster.

"Where are you Alyla Shule" one of the passengers yells with a look of concern on his face only to not find any of the girls.

"We should look for them" the captain said with a righteous look on his face

"Ok let's go with 2 people each" said Victor as he walks a certain direction, the passenger who was worried about Alyla Shule ran and caught of to Victor and walked with him.

As they are walking Victor asked "what is she to you" with a questioning look on his face as he pulls down his hood.

"S-she's my sister, we where just moving around trying to find work and not turn into a slave haha a safe place. I guess there's not a lot of safe places in the galaxy, maybe in the core or mid rim area." He says while his helpless smile turns into looking dejected

"Why don't the republic do something about this mister, you are a Jedi right?"

"No, I'm a mercenary, just like you trying to get by." Victor loos at him and continues "maybe one day in the future there will be a place that's safe, but nothing that you want to achieve will just be handed to you, you have to work and work hard for it.

The man looks up at Victor and his sad face shows a little smile in satisfaction as if he heard the right words to his predicament.

"Your right sir I'll just have to work harder for me and my sister, for our future" the man says with pumped fist and a smile on his face

"That's the spirit" Victor replied

Bang!

Some boxes where moved in a corner of the hall, the two look at each other and move closer to it with there blasters drawn.

They take aim and Victor moves the boxes with the force.

Ahhh

They hear a girls scream, and see it's the girls and they let out a breath of relief. Victor got a closer look at the brother and sister and can confirm they are of the Devaronian Species. There a cute brother and sister.

"Now that we have everyone let's meet back up with the others, there's still other pirates on board." Said Victor

"He's right let's go" says the brother as he helps his sister up

"Here take my hand" says Victor with a smile

"Thank you" replies the girl

"And what's you name?" Asked Victor

"I'm Wina Tane, thanks for coming for us, it was pretty scary" she said

"It's going to be ok, let find the rest." Said Victor

As they walk back to the common room everyone is present.

"How is everyone" asked the captain who is wearing a mask so Victor can't make out his race but his skin is green

"There fine just a little shaken up" said Victor while looking at the girls

"Can we get going" asked the brother

"Yeah, we can" said the captain

"And what about the other pirates?" Asked Victor

"They have been dealt with" the captain replies while nodding in a sign that's everything is alright.

And so they reach Naboo with no further troubles. While at the docking port the Captain wants to talk with Victor

"So your a Jedi?" Asked the captain

"No..I'm just a mercenary force user, but it's gets me where I need to go." Replied Victor

"Ahh there's not many of those out there, thanks for the help, I'm sure it cost a lot to hire you, here. " the captains said while holding his hand out and puts some credits in Victor's hand. Victor looks at the man and smiles "it's ok I don't need them, here take them back." Victor put the credits back in the man hands. "I hope we meet again, your a good person keep it up."

Victor walks to the ship door and sees the brother and sister duo and Wina Tane, they stop him to chat for a bit and exchange communication as well as the captain's.

Victor walks away while waving, he didn't take the body's of the pirates as he wants to be seen in a good light than a weird force user who collects body, that's very off putting for some people let his grunts do that for him.

'Well that ends that adventure, now let's check out some things while I'm here.' He thinks to him self as he catch's a ride to Theed.

'And another one awaits'
