Kara Chapter 17

<Lights-Sacrifice>	*Brett is in the middle of reading some pages from the Jedi archives. It seems that he's now stuck as a 10 year old at the moment...which at this point, he'll have to turn 18 again the normal way...by waiting. Knowing his circumstances, he's ultimately given up on covering up.*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: -_- ....I wonder if there's anything that can help speed this process along...

<Lights-Sacrifice>	*Brett is still a little grumpy from last night's assault in the bath tub. Upon ultimately regressing back into a 10 year old, the team has been more dedicated to treating Brett like a 10 year old boy.*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	*After a little bit, he goes into the kitchen to try to make himself some breakfast.*

<Byzantinefire1>	*Phara came in and took some juice from the fridge.*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ... Morning...

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: Morning did you have a good night sleep?

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: -_- Well after that...lovely bath you gave me last night, I ended up sleeping like a baby...

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: I'm glad to hear it.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ...Anyway...because the God's hate me and want me to be 10 again, I figured I might as well...adjust to that...

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: There are no gods just the force.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ... *sighs* ...It is...sort of frustrating that nobody wants me to be a man again...especially after what we went through the other day.

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: Well i like you better this way.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ...What...? Why?

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: Because it's just too much fun.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: What's fun abou tme being a 10 year old child?

<Byzantinefire1>	*Kara and Keyla comes into the kitchen.*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: Oh...morning, guys...

<NatureTales>	Kara: "mornin"

<Byzantinefire1>	*The four then sat down to breakfast with Brett on Phara's lap.*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ...Is this really necessary, Phara?

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: Well all the seats are already full.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ...Uh huh...

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ...Anyway...what's on the agenda today...?

<Byzantinefire1>	Keyla: Well Rebel intel has reports of Colonel Yandaro being seen in the Jakku system.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: Oh joy...

<NatureTales>	Kara: I need to be there

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: Given your history with Yandaro, I can't say I blame you...

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: Although...it would be wise if I came with you.

<NatureTales>	Kara: I need to know why what happened happened

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: Of course... *hops off of Phara's lap* I could get in touch with him, but...given my...current predicament, he may not recognize me...

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: Maybe if you had stilts.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: "Stilts"?

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ...I dunno...

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: Well you have been feeling very low lately anyway.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: -_- Very...funny...

<Byzantinefire1>	*A few hours later in the orbit of Jakku.*

<Byzantinefire1>	*Phara, Cal, Kara and Brett are preparing to land on the planet.*

<Byzantinefire1>	*Phara, Cal, Kara and Brett are preparing to land on the planet.*

<Byzantinefire1>	*Jakku is a desert planet with imperial ship factories on it.*

<Byzantinefire1>	*When Kara got outside the shuttle she was feeling very hot and itchy from the heat and the sand.*

<NatureTales>	Kara couldn't help but scratch everywhere

<Byzantinefire1>	Cal: Would you like sunblock?

<NatureTales>	Kara: Sure

<Byzantinefire1>	*Cal put sunblock all over Kara's body and felt tickleless by it.*

<Byzantinefire1>	*Afterwards the team make their way to the imperial factory.*

<Byzantinefire1>	*At the factory they notice Yandaro was there.*

<Byzantinefire1>	*Kara looks on with an intense stare.*

<NatureTales>	She gripped her spear very tightly

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: That's him alright...

<Byzantinefire1>	*The team moves in stealthily.*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ...It feels so weird being out like this...without clothes...

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: But nice right?

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ...No...

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: So much sand is getting in my butt...

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: Think of it like a trip to the beach.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: Without pants?

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: Alot of beaches are like that.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: They are?

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: Yeah.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: Why...?

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: Even after all this time why are you still a prude?

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ...I'm just...not used to this yet...

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: You had weeks to adjust.

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: Man up already.

<Byzantinefire1>	*Kara moves towards Yandaro.*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: Kara, wait!

<NatureTales>	Kara stops walking

<Byzantinefire1>	*Phara and Cal look on.*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ....Approaching Yandaro without any sort of plan would be foolish...

<NatureTales>	Kara: Sorry

<Byzantinefire1>	*Cal and Kara then formulate a plan of action.*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: What's the plan?

<Byzantinefire1>	Cal : The plan is simple.

<Byzantinefire1>	Cal: One of us will wake a distractions and while everyone is distracted we grab the officer and run.

<Byzantinefire1>	Cal: So who will be the distraction?

<Byzantinefire1>	*The team ponders for a moment.*

<NatureTales>	Kara: I could

<Byzantinefire1>	Cal: Alright lets begin.

<Byzantinefire1>	*Kara distracts the troopers.*

<Byzantinefire1>	*While Kara was leading the guards away Phara and Brett confront the officer.*

<Byzantinefire1>	*Phara quickly knocked him out.*

<Byzantinefire1>	*Later the team was dragging the officer back to the shuttle.*

<Byzantinefire1>	*The officer awakens and notices that he is tied up.*

<NatureTales>	Kara looks on

<Byzantinefire1>	Yandaro: You again.

<NatureTales>	Kara: Yes, it's me

<Byzantinefire1>	*The shuttle parted from Jakku.*

<Byzantinefire1>	*Kara is with Yandaro in the brig of the ship.*

<Byzantinefire1>	*Kara stares at him intently.*

<NatureTales>	Kara: Do you know who i am

<Byzantinefire1>	Yandero: Yes the nude forest girl.

<NatureTales>	Kara: I've seen you before. Who are you and why do i keep remembering you

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ...

<Byzantinefire1>	Yandero: Who knows.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: .......

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: .......

<NatureTales>	Kara cant get much info out of him and leaves

<Lights-Sacrifice>	*Eventually, Brett and Yandero are alone.*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: I have...several questions...

<Byzantinefire1>	Yandero: Yeah?

<Byzantinefire1>	Yandero: What do you want to know?

<Byzantinefire1>	*Kara listens in.*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ...Why would you join the Empire...?

<Byzantinefire1>	Yandero: I was originally a republic officer before becoming an imperial one.

<Byzantinefire1>	Yandero: I stayed around to keep my job.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ...You remember my Mom, right...? ...You stook around...after all the fighting...why?

<Byzantinefire1>	Yandero: Because she needed me.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ...So then why did you kill her?

<Byzantinefire1>	Yandero: Orders.

<Byzantinefire1>	Yandero: I had orders.

<Byzantinefire1>	Yandero: A good soldier follows orders.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: And I guess having morals doesn't?

<Byzantinefire1>	Yandero: Morality died during the Clone Wars.

<Byzantinefire1>	Yandero: Along with the republic.

<Byzantinefire1>	Yandero: I adapt.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ...Even a soldier should have morals.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: Regardless of which alliance they side with, a moral compass is what all living beings need.

<Byzantinefire1>	Yandero: Tell that to the emperor.

<Byzantinefire1>	*A few hours later at the Rebels fleet.*

<Byzantinefire1>	*Keyla was briefing the alliance leaders.*

<Byzantinefire1>	*Brett in the meantime was being throughly scrubbed.*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: Why can't I just go to the briefing like a normal person? I'm not a kid...

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: You are in this form.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: So then why can't I bathe myself...?

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: More importantly, just let me go to the briefing.

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: Very well.

<Byzantinefire1>	*The rest of the team make it to the meeting.*

<Byzantinefire1>	Leia: Wow.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: What...?

<Byzantinefire1>	Leia: You really did shrink.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: -_- ...It's a long story...

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: A...really long one...

<Byzantinefire1>	Leia: Now if only i had a way to shrink Han.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: I wouldn't put him through that...

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: Anyway, you happen to have any spare clothes for...well...10 year olds? *crosses his arms* It's freezing in here.

<Byzantinefire1>	Leia: Nope and quit whining your a member of Bare Squadron man up already.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: -_- ....I'm not whining...

<Byzantinefire1>	Leia: Anyway Captain Keyla what have we gotten out of Yandero?

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Keyla: Not very much, your highness...

<Byzantinefire1>	Leia: I see.

<Byzantinefire1>	Leia: Will you be able to get anything out of him?

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: *having a glass of wine* All he did tell us is that he killed my parents simply out of orders from the Empire... *angrily mumbles*

<Byzantinefire1>	*Phara grabs his glass.*

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: Your too young to drink.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ...Well then, what can I drink?

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: How about some juice.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ... *sighs* ...Fine... *angrily mumbles*

<Byzantinefire1>	*The meeting ended and Brett is back on the ship.*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: I can't stand this...there has to be a faster way to turn 18 again...

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ...Without waiting...

<Lights-Sacrifice>	*As Brett is pondering, he notices someone else on the ship.*

<Byzantinefire1>	*Brett goes to check it out.*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: Who's there...?

<Byzantinefire1>	*Brett hears scurrying in the corner of the ship.*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: *runs toward the corner of the ship*

<Byzantinefire1>	*It was a Loth-cat.*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: What the...?

<Byzantinefire1>	*It pounced right up on him.*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: AGH! *falls on his back*

<Byzantinefire1>	Loth-Cat: Growls.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: W-what are you...? How did you get on the ship?

<Byzantinefire1>	*Suddenly Brett notices something wrong with him.*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ...Wait...are you hurt...?

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: I have been on this ship the whole time.

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: And i am fine well except for being a Loth cat.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: So...why're you a...a cat...thing?

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: This is most likely Vader's and the Emperors plan.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: Oh joy...

<Byzantinefire1>	*Brett then notices all sorts of animals on the ship.*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: :? ...Where're all these animals coming from?

<Byzantinefire1>	Cal: Isn't it obvious its the rest of the crew.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ...Right...of course... :| ...I need a drink...

<Byzantinefire1>	*Cal is also now a Loth-cat.*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	*Brett walks over to the fridge and pours himself a glass of wine.*

<Byzantinefire1>	*Phara stops him*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: Oh c'mon...

<Byzantinefire1>	Phara: I told you not to drink.

<Byzantinefire1>	*Brett steps outside and notices more animals*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: ...What is going on around here...?

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: Am I dreaming...?

<Byzantinefire1>	Leia: Nope unfortunately. *Leia is now a Convor*

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: :| ...Is everyone just turning into animal's or something? Why?! And why aren't I being affected?

<Byzantinefire1>	Leia: Perhaps its because you were already cursed.

<Lights-Sacrifice>	Brett: T-this isn't a curse...

<Byzantinefire1>	*Suddenly a fleet of Star Destroyers appear out of Hyperspace.* Darth Vader: Capture them all.
