Revelations
The Mission is a given
“Why are you here?” she asked irritated. She didn’t move as she focused on the lightsaber beam. She stared into the deep blue double bladed lightsaber, which, ironically, was the same color as her eyes. She slowly lifted it over her head and carefully spun it in front of her. She moved it faster, until it was just a blue blur of light. She loved the feeling of control, but yet, if she didn’t focus she could lose a body part, or even her own life. It was the thing she loved the most about it.
Her brown hair reflected the blue light from the lightsaber, as did the rest of her body. She was tall and attractive, and most would think she was an easy win in a sparring match, or even in a real combat. She was always underestimated, but she didn’t care: They had to pay the price in the end.
“I like to watch you working.” he said to her from behind. She let out a grunt, which simply said: ‘you are annoying‘. She heard a chuckle from behind and desperately tried to ignore him. He moved closer towards her. The speed of her movements increased even more, although one would have thought it impossible, yet she managed. She felt his presence right behind her, now, and she was forced to stop her training. She didn’t wish to hurt the annoying man.
She lowered her lightsaber and one by one the lights on each side disappeared. Her breathing was harsh and quick, and her face was flustered and sweaty. She put her lightsaber hilt in her belt and straightened her clothes out to look more presentable.
She lifted her head to stare in front of her. The room they were in was simple. Both the walls and the floor wore matching shades of grey, and at her left was a small fountain, supposedly to calm you’re body and mind. On the right were some flowers, like a little garden, and a bench was in front of it. She stared strait forward, trying to calm her breathing.
He was so close now, so close she could feel his warm breath in her neck, and almost feel his body touching hers.
She stared into the door, which reflected her image. Her light brown clothes were tight around her waist and torso, and her skirt reached a little below her bottom, and her legs, which were covered in slighter darker brown pants, showed her legs nicely. She had a few freckles in her face, and because of her training, it looked as if she was blushing. Her shoulder brown hair rested over her shoulders and at her back, a little wet from the sweat. She took a deep breath and turned around.
“Feeling better, Liana?” she stared up at the man who had asked with a smirk. He was almost a head taller than her. His chocolate brown eyes stared down at her with amusement filled in them. His hair was short and was also brown, though it had a much deeper color. He wore almost the same clothes as Liana did, only that his skirt was longer, and the clothes showed his muscles much better and had a darker color.
“Yes, I am. Thanks for asking, Atton” Liana said as she turned around and started to walk towards the door.
“Whoa whoa! Are we in a bad mood today?” he asked.
“Yes, we are. Because some fool walked in and ruined my training, which I have not had in a long time, until today!” she answered Atton angrily.
“Who is this bastard?! I’ll kick his ass!” he said in mock tone and raised his fists.
“First of all, you are a Jedi! You are not supposed to use violence unless it’s the last option, and second: You are the bastard!” she snapped at him while she started to walk towards the exit, leaving him with an even bigger smirk.
“And what about: there is no emotion?” he said after her.
She stopped and glared back at him. “If you’re gonna lecture me about the Jedi Code, then perhaps you should follow it yourself!” she snapped back at him.
”Ouch!” was his reply to her. She felt his eyes on her back as she walked out. ”Where are you going?” he called after her.
“Dinner” she answered him back just as she was entering the door, before it shut close behind her.
Atton started to chuckle and walked slowly towards the exit after Liana had left. “Damn, she’s hot!” Atton thought to himself as he too walked out of the room, leaving it empty.
…
“But I still don’t understand why I have to go on this mission, with HIM! Of all the people you could choose, why did you have to pick Atton Rand, which you know irritates me more than anything!? Why, Revan?“ She asked the former Sith Lord and her former mentor. Revan looked back at her, trying to hide her amusement, which apparently was noticed by Liana, since her frown on her face only deepened. Revan smiled a soft smile and looked at her.
Revan was extremely beautiful. Liana wouldn’t admit it, but sometimes she was jealous of her as they walked together, and everyone noticed her, and Liana couldn’t help but only feel like a shadow. Her long silken blond hair flowed in the wind; making everyone want to touch it, just too feel if it’s as soft as it looks like. Her green eyes where simply deep poles, which you could stare into and get lost. Her figure was perfect. Not to big breasts, but not too small, she had a well build body, and which was slightly tanned as she often was found outside, training in only a shirt and some shorts. She walked and acted with elegance and her voice was so soft and gentle. Everyone respected her, and when Liana was chosen to become her apprentice, she couldn’t believe it. She had been trained in the Jedi ways, but still what she learned from Revan she never would have learned from another Jedi Master. And now Liana had become a Jedi Knight.
“It’s just a simple mission. You two just have to travel to Tatooine, retrieve the holodisc, and return with it. You won’t have to stay long with Atton, only a few days,” Revan told Liana, turning and walking into the garden. She smiled and stopped when she saw some of the younglings trying to use the Force to move some rocks, suddenly lost in her memories.
Liana noticed that her previous master was staring towards something so she followed Revan’s gaze, and for a second she forgot her furry and smiled a little. But then she remembered what they were discussing and started to argue again: “But why me?! Why didn’t you pick for example Mira, who is almost bored to death, to do this task?”
“Because she would have strangled the poor guy even before they where half way,” was the dry response.
“And I wouldn’t?” Liana asked her.
Revan started to laugh softly and stared at her. “I know that you will be able to handle him, since you were my previous student. And I know you will be able to handle the mission.” Revan answered Liana, and gave her one of her famous teacher looks. Not even the famous Republic hero Carth Onasi or the Mandalorian leader, Canderous Ordo were able to argue against that look.
Liana sighed in defeat and turned around and started to walk towards the Jedi temple again. “Fine, but I won’t promise that he’ll return safely.” She said to the Jedi Master over her shoulder, then mumbled to herself: “Because I might be the one who is responsible for his injuries.” Revan shook her head and started to look at the younglings again, smiling.
…
“All right! Listen up, Atton!” she stood in front of him with her hand raised and her finger pointed at him.
“When a woman raises her yelling finger at one, it’s never good.” Atton thought to himself and stared at the woman in front of him.
“Let’s make things clear. I don’t like you! I have never liked you, and I’ll never like you! If you try anything, I will not hesitate to beat the crap out of you or leave you behind on some unknown planet! You got that!?” Liana said to him, wondering if she had to beat the message into his head.
“Yes, ma’am!” he said while he grinned at her and made a mock salute. She glared at him, and if looks could kill, he would have been dead by now. Atton shuddered and realized that he probably should have kept his mouth shut.
She took a deep breath. “Just keep away from me, unless it’s an emergency.” she told him through gritted teeth. She shook her head and muttered to herself: “This is going to be a long journey.” and walked into the ship in front of them in the hangar, the Ebon Hawk.
…
As Liana was rearranging some of the supplies in the med room, she suddenly stopped moving as she heard whistling. The song sounded familiar and she walked towards the source of the music, if you could call it that. She walked into the cockpit and started at Atton sitting in the pilot seat. “Hm? Liana?” he said turning the chair around to look at her. He was eyeing her up and down for a few seconds with a grin on his face, and Liana made her hand into fist, ready to punch him in the face, when his eyes stared directly into hers. “What’s up?” he asked. For a short while she was lost in his eyes and had completely forgotten why she was there in the first place, but she soon remembered when she saw Atton raising his left eyebrow, curious.
“I…um…nothing…it’s nothing important.” She said as she turned around and started to walk out from the room. Atton only shrugged and turned the chair again staring into the black space in front of him through the windows of the room, and started to whistle again. Liana stopped in her tracks as she stood there and listened to the song, suddenly remembering which song it was. She wondered why he was whistling this song, filled with so much sadness. She thought if she should ask, but then decided against it and left him alone.
Liana had forgotten how much she detested Tatooine. The planet and its surface was not what bothered her, but its inhabitants, except for the Jawas. The Jawas were the only ones who were not rude and were willing to help, as long they got something in return, and that wasn’t much, especially with the connections she had, thanks to Master Revan. She had already contacted the leader of one of the tribes on the planet, Iziz, and had agreed to meet with him in with the gate of Anchorhead. Fortunately she had learned their language because of HK-47, although he had been reluctant to do so, but was forced to follow his Master’s order. Unfortunately this had some downsides with it as well as there were upsides. Because of HK special choice of words, she had more than once insulted some of the Jawas without even knowing it, at least not until the Exile, Raenef, had told her trough hysterical laughter. Liana shuddered at the memory, and for the thousand time, cursed HK.
The ramp lowered itself in front of her, and when it was opened, you couldn’t help but cover your eyes. The wave of warm air hit her in the face. She opened her robe slightly so she wouldn’t die of heat stroke, and checked if she had her bottle of water with her. She had also changed her clothing, not wanting unwanted attention from people, but still had her lightsaber hidden. She wore a red jacket, which was light to wear, and when she walked with it opened when it was warmth, she was not too warm amazingly enough, and when the night came; it would keep her warm enough to not start freezing. She wore a black shirt, which showed her figure, and had a low v-neck, showing her cleavage. Her pants clinged to her legs and had just a little bit lighter black color to it then her shirt. At her feet she wore black tall bots, with grey marks on, and her hair was in a ponytail.
She walked down the ramp and looked around in the outside hangar. People of different species where everywhere, talking or arguing, selling or buying, fixing ships and other machines. Boxes of supplies were placed all around close to the wall, and she also noticed that close to the door, which led in to the city, were turrets and also some guards. She couldn’t remember there had been anything of that earlier when she had been here. But the last time she was here was for a year ago, so things change, right?
She turned around towards the ramp “Are you coming or what?!” she asked Atton. Just as the words left her mouth the man appeared on the ramp, walking down it like he had done so many times in the past. His white shirt hang loosely on him, but yet showed that he was well built. Also his brown leather jacket helped to show this, and also to hide the lightsabers on each of his sides. His brown gloves rested slightly over his grey and brown belt. His black-grey pants covered his legs and dark brown shoes covered his feet.
She only shook her head and turned around and started walking towards the door. She stopped when she saw someone walking towards them. The man stopped in front of Liana and Atton, and studied both of them, although his eyes lingered much longer on her than on Atton. He was wearing a light brown jacket and darker brown pants and simple brown shoes. He had blue eyes and a little long blond hair. “What do you want?” Atton asked, with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
The man moved his eyes over to Atton and straightened himself up before he answered him. “I’m sorry to disturb you both, but you have to pay a fee of 500 credits to land in this hangar.”
“What!” Atton said, raising his fists. “Why the hell should we pay that much to land in this crappy hangar!?” Atton asked angrily. Liana noticed in the corner of her eye that the guards, which were patrolling the door, stared towards them, raising their weapons and slowly starting to walk towards them.
“Atton…” she said with a low voice, still keeping an eye on the guards moving closer. Atton glared at the man standing in front of them, and the man returned the glare. “Perhaps you should calm down a little.” she whispered to him harshly before she stepped in front of him and smiled to the man in front of her. “I’m sorry, Sir. My partner didn’t mean to offend you. You see, he is a little overprotective of his money. But if I may ask, why do we have to pay so much when only for a year ago we had to pay 100 credits?” the man looked at her and seemed to relax a little, but again his eyes went up and down her body, which made her extremely uncomfortable.
“Time change things. Ever since Czerka Corporation left the planet, the Hutts have taken over the control of this planet, making it much more difficult to make profit. Which is why we have to raise the price.” he answered her.
“I see…” Liana said and turned and looked at Atton, who stared back at her, then Atton said
“But we are still not paying that price! It’s simply too much for a hangar fee!”
“I’m sorry, but I’m not the one who decided this.” The man answered back to Atton. Liana noticed that he looked towards the guards, motioning them to come closer.
Suddenly Liana stomped on Atton’s foot, and Atton let out a cry of pain, then he started to mumble curses. “Again, I’m sorry for my partner’s rudeness. Is there anything we could do to lower the price?” she started to bat her eyelashes towards the man and moved closer against him. Atton stopped cursing and stared at her, completely lost for words and his eyes wide, until he saw the little hand movement from his female partner directed at the other man “You will let us pass, only paying 100 credits” she whispered to the man, so only he and Atton could hear it, but for the rest it seemed as she was flirting with the man.
“I will let you both pass, only paying 100 credits.” he repeated in a trance, then it was as he suddenly woke up from a dream and stared at her, confusion written in his face, then said “All right, you can pay a 100 credits to use this hangar, but not lower than that, or else I’ll throw you out!” Liana smiled at him and took out 100 credits from her pocket and gave it to him.
“Thanks’.” she started to walk towards the door, expecting Atton to follow her, which he did, but not before he gave the man a message
“Take care of my girl, all right?”
“Yeah yeah,” was the man’s reply as he walked away, glad to finally be done with them.
“You surprise me sometimes, Liana. I didn’t know you were the kind of girl to do those stuff.” Atton said with a little awe in his voice.
“There’s a lot you don’t know about me, Atton.” Liana said as she continued to walk.
“But I like to find out.” he thought to himself and smirked, following her.
…
Liana sat in the cockpit chair as she gazed out through the windows, staring at the people walking around, minding their own business. The meeting with Iziz had gone well. Atton didn’t understand their language, so fortunately he missed Iziz’s insults about him, but Liana was unable to keep back most of her laughter, and it ended with her standing there snorting and covering her mouth with her hands. Atton stood there and asked again and again what was so funny. Of course she covered it up, telling him that Iziz was telling her a joke and she would tell him later. He only shrugged and suddenly his eyes were on some females walking by, giggling and waving to him, earning him a smack to the head by Liana.
Liana thought at the conversation she had had with Iziz and the information she had received from him. Iziz had told her that the holodisc they were searching for was in the hands of a large group of thugs. He also told her that their base was located somewhere south from the gate, but their base was heavily guarded, and lots of traps were placed all over the area. Some of the thugs were former Republic soldiers and even some Sith. How they managed to cooperate was beyond her. When she asked Iziz when they were most heavily guarded, he answered her it was during the night, and at day many of the thugs left to take care of some “business”. She could sense the Jawa’s dislike of the thugs, and when she asked why, he replied that the thugs often had attacked them and stolen their goods.
It was time to make a plan so Atton and herself could retrieve the holodisc.

“Yeah yeah,” was the man’s reply as he walked away, glad to finally be done with them.
“You surprise me sometimes, Liana. I didn’t know you were the kind of girl to do those stuff.” Atton said with a little awe in his voice.
“There’s a lot you don’t know about me, Atton.” Liana said as she continued to walk.
“But I like to find out.” he thought to himself and smirked, following her.
…
Liana sat in the cockpit chair as she gazed out through the windows, staring at the people walking around, minding their own business. The meeting with Iziz had gone well. Atton didn’t understand their language, so fortunately he missed Iziz’s insults about him, but Liana was unable to keep back most of her laughter, and it ended with her standing there snorting and covering her mouth with her hands. Atton stood there and asked again and again what was so funny. Of course she covered it up, telling him that Iziz was telling her a joke and she would tell him later. He only shrugged and suddenly his eyes were on some females walking by, giggling and waving to him, earning him a smack to the head by Liana.
Liana thought at the conversation she had had with Iziz and the information she had received from him. Iziz had told her that the holodisc they were searching for was in the hands of a large group of thugs. He also told her that their base was located somewhere south from the gate, but their base was heavily guarded, and lots of traps were placed all over the area. Some of the thugs were former Republic soldiers and even some Sith. How they managed to cooperate was beyond her. When she asked Iziz when they were most heavily guarded, he answered her it was during the night, and at day many of the thugs left to take care of some “business”. She could sense the Jawa’s dislike of the thugs, and when she asked why, he replied that the thugs often had attacked them and stolen their goods.
It was time to make a plan so Atton and herself could retrieve the holodisc.
