Dear Starlin...
I was greatly pleased to hear that you had gotten a Padawan to full Knighthood.
It is one more way you were a better Jedi than I ever was.
In many ways, you have surpassed me. See what I meant at the start of your training? About being glad you aren't like me? In theory, I had every advantage.
And I still managed to fail. Both you AND myself. You will never fathom the pain it caused me, not being able to knight you myself. Don't pity me. All that has befallen me, including my current disfigurement, is entirely my own hubris. I have no one to blame except whoever I am no matter the face that I wear.
In my dreams, I find I am happiest when I don't HAVE a face.
I miscalculated with The Battalion. I am sorry there is so much I have forgotten. I only have fragments left of our time together. But they are precious to me. Anything of you is precious to me.
You were the last thing I thought of before The Battalion nearly killed me.
I hope you learned from my failure if nothing else.
Maybe me saying this doesn't count for much, but coming from a Force knows how old Sorceress; It doesn't matter if the Council declares you a master. By guiding someone to Knighthood, you have mastered yourself.
If you have the time, I'd like you to join me on Susevfi in the Rimward Trade League. It's nothing important. I am overseeing the healing of refugees. I focus on training Force Healers. But for the next two weeks I'll have free time and wanted to have tea with you. I miss you.
Your father is here also. He's working with that man you met, the one who rescued me from The Battalion. They knew each other, once. From before your father met your mother. They are not friends. But they cooperate.
By the way, before my defeat at Korriban, I sent you two items. One was a ship, the other was some kind of crystal. I'm not certain what type they were, did you ever receive them? If you did, I hope they prove useful.
One last thing.
If you encounter The Battalion, she will know everything about me and you. She has my memories. Most of them. She can use my old face. Do not let her use EITHER to manipulate you. Attack her with full force and the power of the light. Don't let her speak. Don't let her catch her breath. Hammer her and DO NOT STOP until she is dead. You will lose most of me in destroying her. But better I be destroyed than an instrument of evil forevermore.
Take care, Starlin. The Force will be with you always, even if what is left of the woman you knew can't 'always' be.
--Syd...kinda...
Syd sent the electronic message off through the Holonet.
Nathan, oddly, had grown tired of her hiding in caves and apartments, and had ordered construction of a small temple for her to isolate or train others in as needed. Zabka visited regularly now, appalled but not surprised by Nathan's otherwise cold disregard of her. The temple wasn't meant to help so much as keep a better eye on her.
It was in the dead of night as she sent the message on her personal terminal. The temple was open air, a classical construction of a step pyramid near a Nexus of crystal that was being prospected.
Syd meditated in a simple red catsuit, no longer shiny and reflective of everything around it. She didn't wear those armors much unless she had to. She meditated, as always, in front of an open flame, twisting and churning the fire into a funnel.
A hint of danger in the Force was the only warning she got.
She rolled away on instinct, but still got four stars in her back. She let out a screech. Nullification Resin. This assassin meant to kill.
The one advantage a Light Side Force Spawn has over a Dark Side variant is the ability to Force Heal. But Nullification Resin is extremely toxic to their system.
Syd felt the areas where the throwing stars had impacted start to rot, the stars falling out. The pink blade slid out of a silver and black curved hilt.
She spotted the Model 1 approaching. It's once silver skeleton was dented and weathered and scratched, with colored symbols she didn't recognize scrawled across it's body. It possessed a Vibro-Katana.
"You'd think Laertia would want to take me alive so her wife could finish the job." Syd remarked.
"Once maybe. But no. The Matriarch has decided it's too much trouble going after you to get the rest of what Batty took." it answered, pulling out an energy sword.
"You are a fool if you came alone."
"I didn't." The Model 1 replied.
Syd backed off, guarding as two Chaplain Nuetralizers descended from the black sky, both in white kimonos.
"I am not alone either." Syd spoke.
"The Force will not save you..." one of the Chaplain, designed as a beautiful Atrisian woman replied coldly.
"That's not what I meant." Syd replied as two Soldier Biots in golden catsuits dropped down from the temple rafters above, each made to resemble the same Beautiful Woman, each wieldiNg Vibro-Katanas.
"You expected us?" The Model 1 asked casually, vision modes analyzing the two new threats.
"Fascinating." The Skeleton-Like Soldier Droid called Leonard observed.
"This will be a most intriguing fight." He noted. "Sisters! It appears Grandfather's anticipated us!"
"Indeed..." The Atrisian-Shaped Chaplain noted. "Your design has promise, but we are still vastly more advanced in terms of onboard weaponry alone."
"Fancy bells and whistles will never replace the need for perfect tactics." The Soldier Biot to Syd's right replied.
"Play, my Sisters. I shall give Celsius a gift." The Model 1 spoke, angling his energy sword of at her.
Syd darted forward, barely phasing through the onboard rocket the Model 1 had installed that destroyed a wall behind her.
Her sword clashed against that of Leonard.
"What of this gift?" Syd asked as their blades locked.
"A fast death. Infinitely preferable to a continued life of shame and hiding, of being a pariah to the Galaxy, to the Jedi, to your own student, who you failed utterly..." Leonard replied coldly. (ALL ARE ONE IN DARKSEID: 1000 XP)
Syd's strength began to buckle against that of the Model 1, who had clearly enhanced his servos for this mission. Syd bolted away from the blade lock as something in it's chest opened up and a spray came out that caused the stone behind her to develop rapid bacterial growth. She dodged the tensor beam weapon fired at her only partially, ripping the flesh off some of her right shoulder, glowing green blood pouring out.
The last time she had faced the Nuetralizers, she had had the advantage of them still having her on their do not harm or kill protocol. The gloves were off now.
Syd screamed as his skeletal hand shot out and the cryo laser built into his palm struck her in the shoulder he had just injured...and the resin was in her blood stream now. Violent shakes began to spread across her body as he advanced, her wound frozen solid and making it difficult to move her arm without extreme pain. She perspired severely. The Resin had to be healed with the Force. Or she needed to drain energy from a power source.
Leonard anticipated her need, because he immediately began firing his sonic disruptor in her direction, forcing her to move, and spread the resin in her bloodstream a bit more. She didn't dare try phasing through the sonic projectiles, because even she, with all her experience, was not certain what would happen if she did.
All she could do was evade the projectiles, which was getting harder and harder to do.
The Chaplains unexpectedly found themselves caught off guard. Nathan's lightning attack on a Cultist stronghold a few weeks prior had left few survivors, so vicious was the assault. But those who survived spoke of the Soldier Biots deadly effective ability to organize.
They were very effective at anticipating attack despite being slightly slower than a chaplain, and they were much more durable up close, pressing in hard and never letting up. Traps were triggered, having been set up around the perimeter, perfectly triggered by the Soldier Biots just whenever the Chaplains were on the verge of gaining the upper hand. Arrows fired from hiding places in the grass forced the Chaplains to either dodge to protect themselves, or deflect the arrows fired.
One of the Soldier Biots somersaulted over a lightning strike to land a brutal spin kick on a Twi'lek shaped Chaplain's jaw, dislocating it and sending her flying backward before she used her Dovin Basal heart to weigh the Biot down, tearing the flesh and muscles off the bone on her right side but the Biot managed to slam a fist into the Chaplain, caving in it's skull before it shut down
The Atrisian Shaped Chaplain tried to target one of the Biots with a sonic scream but the Soldier Biot pulled some strange trick with her Katana, glancing light off it into the Chaplains eyes, forcing her to blink and throw off her targeting, making the sonic blast that erupted from her throat go wide into the ceiling, causing a giant chunk of it to fall, forcing her to catch it with her built in repulsor organs.
The enemy Biot's sword punctured the chunk, goring into the Chaplain's skull. The Soldier Biot had anticipated her catching it and had darted onto the rubble itself for a sneak attack while she was distracted.
The Chaplain fell, the rubble crushing her upper half.
Syd had managed to take out Leonard's disruptor with a desperate baseball slide followed by a slash, but his Cryolaser managed to strike her in the hand, shattering her hand off,causing a metallic shriek to escape Syd's throat, barely rolling out of the way before the Model 1 punched through the duracrete floor. She phased through his legs as she rolled and stumbled away in great pain, running as he fired his cryo laser.
She was sicker, weaker. It was getting difficult to focus. The part where her back had been struck by the resin covered throwing stars had started to rot, and it was spreading. She was in pain, and the Model 1 was given pause by the remaining Biot.
Leonard immediately began firing his concussion rifle built into his arm, forcing the Biot to back flip out of the way as the Model 1 managed to hit her with the tensor rifle built in it's chest, ripping away a massive amount of flesh from it's chest as it took the full brunt of the tensor.
Syd was running, getting weaker.
The Model 1 used it's advanced vocabulator to mimic casual whistling as it pursued her.
"You BETRAYED MY MOTHER, AND TRIED TO KILL HER!" Leonard yelled hatefully after a few moments. "After all you did to set her on her path in the first place, you spitefully dropped her, like a hot potato, for doing the same sort of things you did, once!"
Syd dived behind a large boulder as he fired his Concussion rifle, the shots taking large chunks out of the rock she hid behind in the silent plains, the wind rustling the billions of grass blades.
"There were so many things I didn't know, son of Laertia!" Syd called back. "If I had known...I never would have gone near her."
"Oh, but I think you knew. Deep down anyway." Leonard spoke, deploying a ball drone armed with an explosive charge from it's chest.
"You couldn't resist. Not where she was concerned..." he taunted as the ball drone got closer, waiting to fire his rifle.
"I think unconsciously, after all you had been through just to reach her, you couldn't stay away. And I do not believe for a second that even if you had known, consciously, beforehand, who she was, and what you had done to her, that you could have stayed away forever...
"Is this your Mother's thoughts on me, or yours?" Syd asked, feeling danger creeping up
"I got a brain, schutta..." Leonard the Model 1 snapped, red ocular sensors, maneuvering the ball drone above the bolder.
"I didn't need to talk to what's left of my mother to figure your ass out." he added.
"You know what my final assessment of you is?" Leonard asked, priming the drone for detonation.
"You're nothing but a stalker."
The drone detonated with a powerful explosion...just as Syd phased through the rock, hurling her lightsaber, guiding it's path and speeding it up with her naturally weak telekinesis into Leonard's droid eye. Leonard keeled over backward.
Syd collapsed, too weak to move any further...and saw Nathan Bloodscrawl, hands folded behind his back, calmly walking towards the scene of battle with an expression of disdain.
He stopped, standing over Syd, his cold gaze impassive. Syd realized he was debating with himself whether or not to save her life.
She saw only the remaining fires from the recent explosion reflected in his artificial green eyes as he knealt down, and jammed Bacta Hypo and a few life stims into her to stabilize and buy her time.
Saying nothing, not even bothering to hide his displeasure at having to let her live, he picked her up and carried her to where the healers of the Jensaarai could help her...
Present...
Syd was huddled in blankets, having severe cold flashes. Lingering effects from the resin. She had set up a table and chairs in the open air. They were close to a Grove where Crystals grew, her body metabolizing the excess energy released to help her heal faster. Nathan was in the Grove itself, conducting a search for a missing Jensaarai. He had claimed the bodies of the Chaplains. All evidence of last night had been cleaned up by other Soldier Biots
Syd was in regular civilian clothes, pale and gaunt as she poured the tea, yet still having some of that eerie beauty poking through despite her state of health. She hoped Starlin Rand might show, but if he did not, well...Syd was so lonely at this point when Zabka wasn't around any company would be welcome, as long as it was friendly.
Zabka had shown as soon as Nathan had informed him. Starlin's father had actually baked a cake, and was keeping it in a mini stasis chamber by the table. He was staying by Syd's side in case House Io attacked again. (As part of House Io's continued blood feud with the Jedi, it had become so myopic that Light Side user's from other organizations were deliberately ignored unless there was no choice, just to rub it in that Jedi would always get the House at it's worst.)
"There's all sorts of stuff going on with Susevfi..." The Man in White remarked in his white Nehru suit, sipping tea next to Syd.
"I regret not coming here during the Plague..."
"Did I?" Syd asked.
"Dunno...but every now and then, I swear I feel like something has called you here...called us here."
"How's the ex?" Syd asked.
"I make sure she is well hidden. Well protected..." Zabka answered. "She wants for nothing."
"I'm glad..." Syd answered, remembering parts of the Day Starlin lost his hand. She had let Nimdok down. He had sent him in her path. And she had so totally fethed it all up. She was too scared to ask what Starlin's mother thought of her now...
Nevertheless, she waited...
