Reunion Of The Living Dead

[The Red of Sinner]

The Eths came out of hyperspace, while two BlackFire starfighters followed suit with it. A yacht of a decent size, the Eths was Romeo's home away from home, with many features one wouldnt find in a regular yacht, though Romeo was also not a regular man, much less human. The Vahla was in his room when the call came over the intercom.

"My lord, we have arrived at Relovian."​

​

Romeo leaned back in his chair, in front of him a datapad with a few details on what he had to offer was present on it. The person whom he was about to meet probably wasnt ready for this for he wasnt ready for this. At the moment, he wore only a pair of black pants, his thin, but fit body now had no more scars. Simply put, it was clean, and smooth, with a bit of pasty color to it, but still healthy looking.

"Bring us down captain."​

​

He stood up from his chair, and saw that some papers had become uneven. His hands moved swiftly over them, straightening them, and making sure their dates were chronologically correct. His OSD was become a little more overboard these days as his spirit aged more, along with his mind. How was he again, oh, yea, he was nearing forty, but his body was just about to reach thirty. It was an odd.

Minutes later, the Eths saw itself to a landing pad, to which Romeo was already fascinating over the fact that the woman now lived here. He sighed.

"Something the matter, my lord?"​

​

Romeo shook his head no, he was just wondering whether it was okay to hide from her. His white robes with the red accent were a bit flashy, but he liked them. His slipped the mask on, a HUD popping up in front of his eyes now, showing the local news of the planet, and the galactic holonews as well, seemed the Galactic Alliance was now heading towards greater, and bigger things. He smirked to himself as he had made a small appearance to the New Jedi Order, who as he expected,warned him of an arresting factor that would be enforced if he didnt leave. Least he had heard their ideology and goals. It was the Republic, and Jedi, just one had a new name, the other just added NEW to their name.

He stepped off the platform, and towards a air speeder that was waiting for him.

"Where to sir?"​

A droid pilot spoke to him.

"Take me to the Cartao building please. "​

Today was one of the rare days Patricia was at the Reclaimer Arms & Industrial weapons facility, normally she was on the jungle planet of Cartao doing her thing. With Spaarti Creations to clone all the things! But today one had to just sort through things and make sure the operation was still afloat.

So in her old office she was signing away at forms to have everything be kosher. She promised her daughter Erika, sons Kincaid and Jarven Jr that they would go out for pizza after she was done with work. However those plans were probably going to go to waste after the surprise that was brewing for her. Romeo's shuttle would be taken to the facility and the woman could feel something. Something she hadn't felt in a long time.

"The hell?" she said as a sense of uneasiness washed over her

Scratching her head she stood from her desk and looked out the window waiting for any incoming shuttles, people, or really anything to come. Her force sensitivity told her that much at least.

 

[The Red of Sinner]

Fire, and screams along with blaster shots, and the soft hum of Lightsabers flasher in Romeo's mind. The voice of a woman hell bent on killing him echoed out in his ears, even though the true sounds playing at the moment was the lives of busy business people. Darkness engulfed him, and threatened to end him there.

He snapped back to, the invasion playing back in his head. It was the first time he had seen his lover in a long time, well ex lover, ex wife, ex everything. She had came back to his planet, saw their daughter, and spent sometime with her and him.

Erika, he wondered how she was, along with his son he never got to meet. Kincaid, a powerful name, Romeo felt. Had it not been for the events of people vanishing from thin air, and utter chaos, things might have been different. Had he never been poisoned, things certainly would have been different.

The speeder zoomed into the perimeter of the building, as awe inspiring as it was, it wasn't going to the most. As it landed, the Vahla stepped out, pulling his cape out with him, and scanned the area.

Seemed safe enough, other than regulation defenses that were probably set up that he couldn't see. His lightsaber clunked against his belt with each stride as the the sun made his robes gleam bright white. There were many things different about Romeo now, not just looks, but size wise. The clone body was at least four inches taller than he had been before his death, and certain bodily changes had a cured due to his...bloodline.

He made it to the door, and stepped inside, the cool ac bouncing off his warm cloak of armor.

"Can I help you sir?" A person had the main lobby desk questioned him. "Do you have an appointment to make, or already have one?"

Romeo nodded no.

"I would like to make one, for right now actually."

His voice was slightly distorted from the audio output of his mask.

"Your boss will want to hear what I have to say."

Moving back to her desk she shook the feeling off and got back signing off on another form, Patricia sighed and placed the form to the right, taking the last in the pile she ran a hand through her long blonde hair and scribbled her signature down on it. Leaning back in her chair she was finished and all was well, she could finally go home to her husband and kids. But of course the universe threw a big ole wrench into that when her intercom went off to sounds of her assistant Hans' voice.

"Ma'am, someone is here to see you. He looks like he's dressed for a play, says he's important. You want me to let him through?" The man said as he stared up at Romeo.

Patricia rubbed her temples and let out a groan, but she knew it was best not to blow off potential clients.

"Tell him he's got five minutes. Send him in." Patricia responded as she reached under her desk and grabbed a flask filled with some kind of alcoholic beverage.

"Leave any weapons on the table and proceed." the man said calmly.

The path ahead was cleared for Romeo he had a straight shot to the main offices where Patricia sat and sipped from her flask. She still had that nagging feeling on her mind but she wanted to get home to her kids more than anything.

Romeo's eyebrow twitched behind the mask as the man said something about being in a play, though, the Vahla quickly calmed himself before speaking what he was thinking out loud. It didnt take long for him to be given clearance to see her, and asked to leave his weapon with the desk man. Behind the mask, he rolled his eyes, and placed his lightsaber on the desk.

"If you lose this, there be a new opening for the desk job." Romeo turned and walked away before the man could speak.

Upon entering the elevator that would take him up, and up, and then more up, Romeo wondered how much more different thing would have been had he not shown up on Manaan, protected his ex wife, and defended the Republic against the Sith. More people probably would have died, along with Patricia. The elevator opened for Romeo, and with two steps he was out of the elevator, and walking down a hallway with one door at the end of it, the only thing between him, and his first true love now.

He sighed.

Romeo stopped at the door, turned the knob, and opened it.

The first thing he saw was her blond hair, it reminded him of strands of pure gold, shiny, and beautiful. Romeo then gazed upon her eyes, blue, like sapphires, sparkling in the light. His breath had been taken from him in one moment, then returned the next as a smile crossed his face. He bowed before her, and spoke with a distorted audio output from the mask.

"Thank you for seeing me today, please forgive the sudden intrusion upon your day. Im sure you have much more important hings to attend to then see such one as I. I will try to make this quick. I am...Jigoku"

Romeo was full aware, this was going to take a lot longer than he was promising.

Jigoku? That was a stupid name, like something someone made up on the spot. But regardless if this person's parents hated them it was Patricia's job to see exactly what they wanted. Reaching over to her side beneath the desk she pulled out Romeo's jacket and her purse.

"Apologies, I was headed out the door when you arrived. When you promise the kids pizza they blow your phone up." the woman said with a slight giggle.

"Anyway Mister Jigoku, if you'd like to give me a basic idea of why you are here we can discuss it shortly and schedule a date later in the week." Patricia said with a smile.

Whoever this guy was he certainly was dressed like he was getting ready to perform Shakespeare in the park. But hey Patricia wasn't one to knock people on their fashion choices, after all she did have like a thousand of those little red dresses she was known for.

Romeo knew his hesitation had already set him on the wrong path on how to go about this. He watched her move, and listened to her soft voice speak of her children, their children. Hiding was wrong, and would only make the end that much harder. The Vahla grasped his mask, and spoke out.

"You see...you're recent husband..."

His voice being distorted suddenly was clear as his mask was removed. Romeo's black eyes were now uncovered, something he still had yet to come into comfortable terms with, along with his snow white hair falling over his face. He swept it backwards so his face was could be easily seen.

"...is no longer deceased Patricia..."

Romeo starred at his ex wife with concern and long lost love while he removed his hand from his hair, and let it part in the middle as it fell back down.

"It's a long story...but I can explain."

The woman's eyes went wide and a flood of emotions hit her as she saw Romeo's face, she gasped and tears flooded her eyes for a second before that expression turned very shortly. Was livid a big enough word for the anger that Patricia felt right now? Just rage beyond rage was what Patricia was feeling, and what was better than that was combing rage with fire arms.

Pulling out a loaded eight gauge shotgun from beneath her desk the weapon cocked and she aimed let it rest on her desk letting it point at an angle to Romeo's chest. With murder in her eyes she glared at the man and spoke in a very deadly voice.

"Razor if you think you can come in here with a dyed haircut and pretend to be Romeo to get me to fall on your dick you've got crap twisted." Patricia said with a deadly pause.

"You know I'm married to Jarven and you know I'm going to shoot you in your face if you don't leave by the count of five." Patricia cocked the weapon again and glared.

"One."

Romeo held back his own tears as she began to cry, but that was cut very short with what Romeo knew very well was anger in her eyes. He thought he made a gulping sound as he heard her voice, angry wasnt the word to use for this emotion she was presenting, more like rage. A lot of rage. Razer must have been tormenting her lately with some off shot crap that certainly fit his bill, though, lately, Razer was in a cat body....somewhere.

Sounds like I may need to skin a cat...

The Vahla shook his head, and went wide eyed as she pulled out a firearm, and pointed it at him.

The word one made him smile some.

"Dromund Kaas, a young lady pumped into me. She was beyond anything I had ever saw, words to this day still can't express what I felt then. She looked upon me with...a drooling lust for me. Razer, nor no one else for that matter, knows how you, and I met Patricia. This is not a deception...though I'm sure you wish it was."

Romeo pointed at the gun, and with the force, gripped it gently, and attempted to lower it down little force behind his attempts.

"I love you, because you never lied to me. You told me your job meant you would be sleeping with other men, and you expected me to resent you, instead...I accepted you wholeheartedly...because no one had ever been so honest with me before. Ever word you spoke was with my best interest in mind. You were the perfect wife, lover, and friend...and nothing about that has changed."

Patricia's gun wavered and a flood of emotions were hitting her once more. No it wasn't true, it wasn't true, it couldn't of been true. Romeo was dead, she had seen the news reports, she had been to the funeral, she had seen the casket. Taeli killed him, she cut him with his saber then let him die. This was a force trick, this had to be some shap shifting shido influencing her mind, yet she felt nothing through the force. There was no way that he was standing in front of her.

But he was, as clear as daylight there he was. With his little get up looking like he was Macbeth, it made Patricia chuckle and smile once as tears flowed down her eyes. Mixing crying and laughing almost hysterically the shotgun dropped to the desk and she grabbed at her hair pulling it a bit, the woman just wasn't processing it all in one go and more than likely anger was on its way. But for now she looked up at Romeo with a half smile and red eyes stained with tears and the first thing Patricia said to Romeo was this.

"Where did you buy that? Do they carry them for men too?" She said before pausing.

There was a dead silence and the tiny woman scrambled across the desk as if it weren't there and hugged the man tight. Smothering his entire face with kisses and clutching him tight she shifted from laughing straight into a pure sob of sadness and joy.

"I thought we had lost you." She said in between sobs.

"You died."

 

[The Red of Sinner]

Romeo watched her carefully, making sure he chose his words carefully, and made the right movements she was used to seeing him making. Suddenly her laughter made him cock his head some, her words confused him.

Where did he get what? The hair? The eyes?

Again, by surprise, she was on him, holding him tightly. The familiar smell, and warmth of her body smothered his senses, his primal instincts kicked in and his own tears came as his arms wrapped around her.

"I'm so sorry, please....forgive me. I abandoned you, I abandoned our children."

His sobs came with an end of sniffs as he buried his face in her hair.

"My jacket..." He finally said after smelling in her scent for a little.

"Patricia...I was dead.. Taeli...My father...Silara...they were all there. I gave them all a run for their money...and in the end...Taeli got me." He removed his face to look at her as he spoke.

"I understand you are married, and I will respect that. I hear he's a good man, better than me."

And then came the anger, Patricia pulled away from the hug a bit and gave Romeo a slap across the face. She stared at him with angry eyes before she sighed and adjusted back to normal. She couldn't stay mad at him, not after how long he had been gone and the effort he had made to come back into this world. She hugged him a bit again then sat back down atop her desk on the edge. Taking the jacket she placed it on her lap and wiped away one of her tears.

"Yeah we picked it up at your place after you kicked it." Patricia said calmly.

"I was going to give it to Erika when she was big enough, but I think she's going to end up small like me." Patricia said with a faint chuckle.

She had remarried though, she had been with Jarven for a few years now and everything was going fantastic. The new baby was there, they had a beach house home, and the only thing that wasn't great was the fact Patricia was always at work. So with a sigh she rubbed her head a little and kept talking.

"Yeah, Jarven. He's been real good to me and I love him a lot. He's good to our kids and he's the only dad Kincaid has known, I figured I'd tell our son about you when he was older. He's just five right now and I can tell he's going to grow up to look like his dad." She said another tear formed.

"You want to see them I take it?" she asked.

 

[The Red of Sinner]

The words culled his ears to perk some as his black eyes seemed to not bother her, he relaxed even more. Hearing that everything was going fine made his heart sigh with relief actually, and his mind put at ease. Though, Romeo shook his head when asked if he wanted to see his children.
He stood up, and removed the outer layer of his battle robes.

"They believe I am dead, it will only confuse their young minds, bring chaos to your relationship, and me more grief then what I can bare. You have a strong man by your side, you dont need me in your life in such a way. It's morally okay for me to come back into your's, or their lives like that. I dont deserve such an great moment in my life. Being here is almost too much." He looked at his hands. "I feel like me, I think like I should, but I know my resurrection has brought my closer to the darkness that resides in the Force." He looked up at her. "I know you can feel it, I sense it in you." He smiled with a fear small tears. "I came, because I have business around the galaxy I am conducting...its dangerous, but if the Republic wants to survive the Sith, it will need my help."

He took her hands. "By the way." He gently pumped her forehead with his own. "That's for selling Revan's saber to my sister you dunce."

When Romeo spoke it stirred something in Patricia, something that she had missed for years. Those little moments when they sat on their crappy sofa in their crappy apartment and played video games together on Tatooine. She was pregnant with Erika and he was working some job at a little tier one start up company they had got when she sold her personal little cruiser. It was a nice little life, one that Patricia had thought about for a long time.

When the man put her forehead against hers for a little pump she struck back, but not with physical force. With something she regretted not doing after he had left, something that was closure for her if he truly did want to move on from things.

Her arms wrapped around his neck and her lips met his in a long kiss. Her eyes closed and hopefully he understood what this was about.

His mind went blurry after quick flashbacks slammed into his skull as she gently returned his pump to the forehead. Romeo felt his heart pound in his chest, not the kind of pounding one felt in battle, that was a hurtful pound, this was a kind of pounding they made one wonder if fairy tales did exist, and if they were living in one. Sadly, Romeo knew this wasnt a fairy tale, nor a dream. The ending to this story was neither good, or bad. It would simply end. If he was lucky, a new one would start but he doubted this, even when her lips pressed against his, and he held her by the waist. Even when Romeo felt his libido rise, he knew this was not his wife anymore, that he had forfeited it when he left for Coruscant. All he could do was thank the Force for letting him experience her love once more. Romeo pulled away.

"I'll always be there when you need me. Simply call my name, and I will be there, Patricia. Tell me, how our children? Do you know what you wish to do with Erika, and her connection? I...I would hope to see her in the Jedi Order...oddly."
