The Cursed Holocron

As the ship docked in the bay, the Twi'lek refugees began to cheer and act extremely happy as far as they were concerned they had made it to safety and were on the path to a new and better life. Xim and Lilith waited for them to board the spaceport and slipped into the crowd, hoping to get onto the planet without being spotted by Republic security, one of them was a pure blooded Sith and the other was a ex-Sith spy, this was a combination for disaster. Xim could use force cloak to hide himself however he was unwilling to let Lilith chance this on her own, both of them were going into the fire not just her. When they got to an area to check in, they simply put Patience and L.u.s.t Order of the Grey

The clerk that was checking over the logins gave them a suspicious look, Xim noticed this and moved closer too her and said" The order of the Grey is a newly established order of force users currently it is just the two of us but we assisted the Jedi during the Flesh Raider invasion, if you need to call Satele Shan and ask her about Xim Taa. That is my alias I use when I'm encountering new people. I would remove my hood so you could see my face however that goes against my orders code, I apologise for any inconvenience I may cause." The clerk got out her holo transmitter and asked her command to check the Tython attack reports for a Xim Taa, the response she got caused her face to change from shock, to horror then fear as she looked at the person in front of her. Xim laughed and said" Your leader must have told you my race, worry not I'm not here to cause trouble, I want to go to dinner with my friend here as well as explore the Jedi ruins. Once I have done that I will leave the planet as quick as possible, I wont be here longer than a day I promise." The clerk waited until her command responded before nodding at Xim and telling him"Command would like to meet you before you do anything else, the senate tower is directly on your right as you leave the docking area."

Xim sighed and left the docking area with Lilith only to find a squad of Republic commandos waiting for them, their guns aimed at Xim's head and Lilith's heart, this tested Xim's patience greatly, he demanded" Remove your sights off of our bodies if you want to live, we have no need to kill anyone here so do not give me a reason too. I can kill all 5 of you in 3 seconds if I wanted too, in fact aiming at us with loaded weapons should be enough to make me act however I'm here with someone special to me and that is the only thing holding me in check however even that has its limits. I will give you thirty seconds to aim away from us, then I will kill one of you without even moving, you there with the ridiculous helmet on, you will die first." The air around Xim and the commandos began to change as a heavy pressure coming form Xim began to suppress everyone around him, Lilith was barely able to move, the commandos were now on their knees, Xim gave them a look of disgust before saying "Take me to whoever wants to meet me however you so much as look at her then you will all die including your boss. I'm not joking, there is a reason your boss panicked and summoned me as soon as I arrived on this planet, I would watch yourselves." The commandos picked themselves off the floor in fear and 'escorted' Xim and Lilith towards a secluded room in the senate tower, when they arrived in the room they were the only people in it.

The room was painted in a dull yellow and green combination, the rug however was bright red. The chair were a lot more comfy than they looked, they were a old grey colour, as Xkm sat Lilith stood at his side like a guard which caused Xim to sigh before Lilith knew what was happening she was pulled down onto Xim's l.a.p and being hugged from behind. They heard an exasperated sigh from behind them and when they turned too see who it was, they saw an old woman wearing a generals uniform. The woman muttered under her breath" These buffoons were strong enough for command to quarantine them here while I investigated them, they look like a young couple and nothing more." As she finished her muttering she felt heat being pressed slightly in front of her c.h.e.s.t, she looked down to see a silver lightsaber hovering over her heart, she breathed in a deep breathe and began to shake uncontrollably. Xim lifted Lilith into a bridal carry and walked in front of the old woman before saying" Quarantine huh? Clone what do you feel about that? wouldn't you rather go for a dinner with us than be trapped here with this old woman." The clone chuckled and said" Master is too cruel, this woman still has some uses, we can use her as a hostage or a token to trade with the Republic after all they attempted to imprison us." Xim smiled and said" You make a good argument, old lady tell us your name, what you are worth and the best restaurant nearby?"

The old lady smiled and said "My name is general Garza and I'm worth a lot to the Republic, the best restaurant nearby serves food till 9 and it is a personal favourite of mine, what do you plan to do with me now?." Xim looked at her and said"I will most likely sell you back to the Republic, need money to take this one on our dinner date and you have no use to me other than that, call up your superiors and hope they value you enough to give me the money I want now." Garza proceeded to call her superiors who talked it out with Xim and agreed to send 3 million credits to Garza's office in return for her safe return. Xim knew that this was a trap and that they would attempt to neutralise him as soon as he returned Garza however he was confident he could fight his way out if there were no experienced Jedi masters waiting outside for them, even if there were and he dealt with them quickly he had a feeling he could escape with the money.
