What the Thunder Said: Quest for Ashla Part 2

"It tells me i'm not going to destroy you here." Jor said. "But it also tells me that at some point, a Halcyon will. It might not be tomorrow. It might not be a year from now, it might not be a thousand years from now. But mark my words ass hole. A Halcyon is going to come here with some friends and kick your behind into whatever dark afterlife is reserved for butt heads like you."

Jor pointed at the spirit. "And that forehead tattoo looks stupid."

Jor turned around and walked out. Too his left he saw the beacon that had been placed by the troops. He continued past it, following the trail 32 men into the forest. The clearing where the ship was landed was within easy sight and Jor walked up the boarding ramp and closed it behind him. The Franklin took off and headed for orbit and Jor collapsed onto his knees right there at the head of the boarding ramp.

Lieutenant Church ran over and got under his shoulder, helping the Jedi Master back to his feet. "Are you ok Master Halcyon?"

"Yall just shot me a few dozen times. How did you think i'd be?" Jor responded. "Get me to sickbay, i need to see Mariella and i need to take a nap."

Church nodded and helped Jor walk all the way to sickbay where the Jedi Master took the bed next to Mariella's. "Shall i have the pilot set course for Ilum?" Church asked.

Jor shook his head weakly as he looked over at Mariella. "Tattooine. Set course for Tattooine." Jor said. "We both need a doctor and the man for the job is on Tattooine."

Church gave a salute and ran up to the bridge to inform the pilot. Jor closed his eyes and concentrated on focusing the Force in his body on his injuries. He was in a huge amount of pain, but that was nothing new to him. He could deal with it. He wanted to make sure Mariella was all right before he let himself pass out. When the ships doctor looked her over and found nothing wrong with her physically he gave Jor a thumbs up. It was then that Jor closed his eyes for good and let himself pass out from the burning pain wracking his body.

The spirit of Exar Kun roared in fury. How dare this weakling speak to him in such a way? Rushing forward, he attempted to give chase before being hurled back by the wall of light that had been erected so long ago. Bitterness gripped him like it never had before as he sunk back into his tomb.

Meanwhile, onboard the ship, Mariella was slipping in and out of consciousness. Hazy visions in the force came and went as her awareness did. Through the fog she heard Master Jor's voice, and the word Tatooine.

OOC: If you have nothing else here, i'll take us to Tatooine. If you do, let me know and i'll edit my post.

The PMC Franklin took off from the planet and headed directly for outer space. Their com system was the first thing fired up as they relayed the strike order and coordinates for orbital bombardment. In a few hours, a Ranger PMC fleet would arrive and pound that temple flat. Would it destroy the spirit of Exar Kun? Probably not. His spirit was all over that moon, not just that single temple. But it would make Jor feel a little better knowing he'd smashed something that belonged to a Sith before he left.

Jor himself, in contrast to Mariella, was totally passed out. No drifting in and out for him. He was busy counting Zs while the little nanomachines in his blood busied themselves with slowly repairing the damage he'd done to himself.

The Franklin left Yavin's massive gravity well and jumped to hyperspace.
