"We should go find her!" Nait said loudly. He looked them all in the eyes, avoiding Jaskia's. "If none of you do, I will."
"I won't."
Nait looked at Jaskia, shocked. "What?!"
"Think about it," she snapped. "Vader's taking away all her memories, so that means he not going to kill her. She's probably going to be his little puppet until something in her snaps." God, she loved being brutally honest. "He's gonna send her after us sooner or later. I vote we wait."
Nait's eyes narrowed. He took a step closer towards her and took a fistful of her shirt. "She's your best friend," he argued. "You should go to her aid. She would--"
"--wait until the time is right," Jaskia finished. "She's all about timing, and it works. So let's wait. Vader will want us to charge in and start looking, wouldn't he? Let's make him come to us!"
"You're just saying that because you want her dead!" Nait yelled. And he did the only thing that made him feel better…
He punched her. It wasn't an ordinary punch. It was fast, unblockable, and fueled by anger and the Force. It connected with Jaskia's face, and fear registered across her face. Everything seemed to be going in slow motion again. He felt her skin tear beneat his fist, felt his knuckle break, and heard the sound of Jaskia's small surprised scream. She fell to the ground, and didn't move. He had did the perfect knock-out blow except…
…she wasn't knocked out. She had somehow used the Force last-minute to cushion the blow. Otherwise, her lights would have been out. Seriously. He took in what he had just done, and the anger faded, leaving a boatload of guilt behind. "Oh shit," he muttered. "Jask, I'm sorry. I'm sorry." He couldn't stop mumbling it to her, and he took another shock as Jaskia's head turned towards him.
She opened her mouth to say something, but Scorch was hauling her to her feet. Ordo took one glance at Nait and had his fists restrained behind his back faster than you could say Whoops. He made Nait face his best friend.
I hit her.
"Jask, I'm so so so sorry…"
Who am I?
Jaskia, dazed, just looked at him. And he saw disappointment there. Too much. The tears in her eyes were unmistakable. A large purple-and-black bruise was forming on the side of her cheek, contrasting with her neon blue hair. Blood ran down the side of her face. "If I find Vader before you do," she said, "I'm gonna kick his ass. And if I see you again, I'll kick yours."
She wrestled herself out of Scorch's grip, and activated the landing ramp. She looked at Nait again. "I hate you," she said. "Everything I've done, I've done for you guys. Now I see what a fool I was." Her voice chilled him to the bone. "I'll work hard to destroy the Empire. I'll be a public face so everyone else can work more quietly. But I meant what I said. If I see you again, you'll be lucky if I don't kill you."
"Jaskia wait!" Nait cried, but she had already left.
OOC: Was that okay, HK? Remember when I asked if Nait and Jask could leave the group and rally the Jedi? I decided just to have Jaskia do that. If you have any second thoughts, I'll cut the entire post off up until Nait says 'You just want her to die!'
"I won't."
