Time Line: 2 months 1 week after the end of the Sith Rebellion
  Jomai was a planet very few have heard of, but it has a great importance. It was mostly a marketing planet, but it was mostly for smugglers. The planet has a single moon, and was pretty close to a sun. Why it isn't uninhabitable to live on due to the closeness of the sun was bedazzles the scientists. Even the moon Geeda, which is even closer to the sun, is not affected by it, and is still inhabitable. In fact, the moon is great for farming, which is the main supply of food for Jomai. The reason why Fiona has brought her ship and the crew in it here is because of a message governor Delmon Targon, the leader of Jomai, sent.
  He requested to meet with Fiona and her crew to see if they can help. They feel like they are innocent, but Fiona has some doubts. The reason why is that, even though this planet is very valuable, there is only one hyperspace route in and out of here. A perfect place for an ambush.
  Korvas and Fiona were piloting the Blood angel, Fiona in the co-pilots seat. "I'm making the call. F4, scan for any incoming Republic ships." F4, who was hooked up to a console, beeped affirmatively. Fiona put in the code frequency, and then waited a few seconds before Delmon appeared on the screen. Delmon was a female Rodian with light green skin, and behind her are two Gamorreans with their war axes.
  ("Ah, caption. I am glad you could make it. How are you?") Fiona then spoke up. "Cut this bullshit and tell us what we want or need to know." Delmon seemed a little surprised, but not too surprised. ("o-Okay then, I'll make sure not to waste your time. Tell me what you want to know." "Allright, what I want to know is where Groex Gal's secret base is." Delmon sighed. "Sorry, but we don't have that information. Not even the Republic know where his base is, so all I can do with that subject is wish you luck with that, although I am curious as to why you need that information."
  Fiona quickly explained that Groex was the reason they are being hunted, and what is happening with Abreaxis, Linora's old master. Fiona watched Delmon's eyes quickly look to the left of the screen, and then back. That was the fourth time Fiona saw her do it, so what was going on? Fiona heard that there were threats made on her life, so it could possibly be that. Of course, that probably wasn't it.
  F4-T6 then said something, but it was too fast. "What was that? Slow down, I can't understand you." Korvas said, turning around as Delmon smiled. F4 spoke slower this time, and Korvas swore. While Fiona powered up the engines, Korvas got on the speakers and spoke, "Republic forces, coming out of hyperspace right behind us!"
  Fiona swore when she saw six Republic war ships appear on her radar. "Korvas, get us to the other side of the planet!" Fiona said, rerouting power from the weapons to the shields and engines. "Korvas, I've got more bad news. They're launching fighters. Three of the six warships are following us, but all of their fighters are going around the other side of the planet." Korvas swore in his native tongue, and then increased speed. "What are you doing? We need to get AWAY from the planet!" She said, but then almost bit her tongue when the ship started to shake. "Damn it all! How did they catch up with us already?" Korvas didn't seem concerned. In fact, he seemed to be oblivious to the ship shaking. "We just got to get behind that sun, and we should be fine." Korvas said as Cyan and Linora slowly entered the cockpit.
  "The upgrade is ready." Cyan said, crossing his arms. "Alright, give me a moment." Fiona looked up at Linora and Cyan, and saw they both are quite calm. "Why are you guy's so calm? What upgrade? What happened to telling the caption about any new upgrades to her ship?"
  "Don't worry, you'll soon find out. Just keep those engines and shields up, even if you have to get rid of any power from the scanners and whatever power is left to the weapon system." Fiona scowled, but didn't argue. She knew better not to try and pry information from Korvas when he wants to make it a surprise.
  When they were past Jomai, Fiona saw a large group of fighters coming at them. There were about sixty of them each of them in small groups of six. "Wow, I'm oh so flattered they think of us as such a threat that they need this big of an force." Fiona said, adding as much power as she can to the shields and engines. "I've left a little power left in the weapon systems. F4, start firing at those fighters." F4 acknowledged, and soon they heard their own cannons start firing.
  "Any damage?" Korvas asked, pressing an few buttons. "Alright, I'll admit, not a lot of damage, but I did break their ranks momentarily. How close are we to the sun?" Korvas then grinned. "We're there, and my hypothesis is correct. The Fighters are coming around the other side. I'll activate the Bothan system." Then, after pulling a lever and pressing three buttons, He eased the engines, and cut off power to the weapons.
  "Korvas, what the hell are you doing?" Fiona said nearly jumping out of her seat. "Don't worry, we're safe, now watch and be amazed." The fighter's then came around the far corner of the sun as the Blood Angel slowly fell down, out of their way. They stopped flying, and then started flying around the war ships. "F4, hack into their com arrays." Linora ordered, and F4-T6 obeyed. "Where did they go? A ship that size couldn't have a stealth field generator!" "Jedi master Jakar Pryde, what are your orders?"
  Linora silently swore. Fiona was about to ask why, but stopped when they continued to speak. "Salvation squads one through five, stay here and start patrolling this area. Salvation squads six through ten, start scouting out the area around here They couldn't have gotten far. We'll go back and guard the hyperspace lane. "Affirmative, Commander Ferot out." F4 stopped the transmission, and then unplugged himself. "Guys," Linora started. "We're in deep shit."

  Abraxis Carlon was expecting the surprised look on groex's face. Hell, he was happy about it. "M-Master Abraxis, what are you doing here?" Abraxis held his hands behind his back, his apprentice, Bree Alder, doing the same. "We have not been able to find a new training grounds, so we have decided to continue training here."
  Abraxis looked around Groex's office as he tried to decide on his next choice of words. "I wonder, how did a Gungan like yourself get in charge of the might Crimson Daggers?" Groex calmed himself down, and then smiled. "It's a pretty long story, one to tell over a hot supper. Now, maybe we should talk about our arrangements here."
  Groex stood up from behind his desk, and then walked towards Abraxis and Bree. "Where you should sleep, where you should be training, and many more stuff like that. Let's start it off by giving you a grand tour of my base, shall we?" Groex walked out of his office, followed by Abraxis and Bree, who were being followed by two Noghri guards.

  "Jakar Pryde, a well-known Jedi Master for his defense of Daylioussa. He held off the Sith Rebellion with half a fleet, and is known for holding off Darth Karklon for five minutes before forcing him to retreat. He is a master tactician, and he is damn good at carrying out his plans.He's the last enemy I would want to face in this situation." Linora crossed her arms, tapping her foot. "The stealth generator we have installed can only last a hour, so until then we need to find a hiding place." Linora brought up a hologram of Jomai and its moon, Geeda, from her datapad.
  "Jomai is protected by a planetary shield, and the only ways in are if we trick them into letting their shields down or blowing one of their shield generators, which is impossible from up here, so our best bet is to hide on Geeda until we get enough power back to our ships. After all, the stealth generator takes up a lot of power, so we can have Fiona go into a nearby town to buy some power cells and whatever else we can use."
  Linora started pacing, clenching her teeth. "If Jakar finds out we're on Geeda, then he'll know our strategy, but luckily he doesn't know what Fiona looks like, and won't be able to search properly. Also, we'll hide our ship twenty miles away from any nearby town or settlement, so then we'll at least get a heads up on our scanner's and give us time to react. Now, unless you all have any better plans, speak up or we're landing on Geeda."
  No one spoke up.
  "Alright, we'll go down, but we should still be careful! Jakar has two apprentices with him. He can stay up in the fleet while sending two strike forces with his padawans, but even though they're not master's you shouldn't underestimate them! They're still Jedi, and if given the opportunity, will catch us if we're not careful."

  Gunther Varn and Leo Racto entered the room, and immediately saw their master waiting for them. Leo Racto was a Miraluka Jedi and Gunther Varn was a male half-human, half-Zabrak. He doesn't have the horns, but he still has the blood from his mother. Jakar smiled, and then walked towards them, his hands outstretched. "My padawans, I have a mission for you." He held his hands behind his back as he stopped a few feet in front of his padawan's.
  "We do not know where the Rogue Jedi Linora Lordess is, unfortunately, but I do have an idea. They could possibly be trying to hide on Geeda, the moon of Jomai, so I want you two to go down and start investigating towns. Spend at least ten hours in each settlement, and keep in contact with each other to make sure that you don't do the same town twice. Do you understand?" Gunther and Leo nodded, and then left their master.

  Fiona had to admit, even though there are few girls here, they are EXTREMELY hot! When Fiona is not being chased by the Republic she will be sure to come back here for a good time. Pulling on the bag of groceries over her shoulder, she went to the last market that had all the supplies she needed. When she entered, the only people inside are a male Rodian behind the counter, an Ithorian sweeping the floor, a male human working on a small gadget, and a female human that was standing in the corner with a rifle.
  After a quick wink at the gril, and admiring her shocked but pleased surprise, Fiona walked up to the counter. With her wrappings off and being dressed in normal clothing she looked completely normal and quite beautiful, and not like a bounty Hunter that is in league with a falsely accused Rogue Jedi.
  Fiona walked around the small shop, picking up the parts she needed, and was about to go up to the counter when something caught her eye. A FR-38 sniper, and in perfect condition! Fiona looked at the sniper, her mouth open. The FR-38 has a scope that can see through walls, armor piercing laser shots, can hold up to fifteen shots, and can switch from short controlled bursts to an automatic. Best part is that it can fold up, and fit right in her purse!
  Luckily, it was just within her price range, so she bought all of the parts and the FR eagerly. She then pressed a button the side, and the scope came back in, the barrel retracted, and the grip and handle also retracted. She put it in her purse, and then walked out of the store. And she froze.
  A Miraluka with two Republic troopers was right in front of her, and on his belt was a Lightsaber. "I'm sorry, ma'am." He said as he looked at her. "I didn't mean to get in your way." He stepped out of Fiona's way, and the trooper's did the same. It took Fiona three seconds before she could finally move her legs, her heart pounding. When the Miraluka Jedi entered the shop, the two troopers stayed outside, standing guard.
  When she turned a corner, she could finally breath again knowing she was out of sight of the Republic forces. How many more times will she have to be in such close calls? How many more times will she almost get caught and get thrown in jail? Would it be better if she just gave Linora to the Republic?
  Fiona sighed. No, she couldn't do that. Her conscience would get her for giving an innocent person over to the authorities so she won't get scared of these close calls. As she exited town, she started to walk a little faster. Hopefully the Jedi won't find her any time soon.

  Fiona entered the storage room/shooting range, eager to test out her FR-38 sniper. When she looked up, she was surprised to see her old sniper being held, quite clumsily, by Linora, shooting at the fake targets they have that just so happens to look Jedi. "Linora?" Fiona said, walking up to her. Linora looked up, and then smiled. "Ah, Fiona, you're back. How did everything go?"
  Was that it? 'How did everything go?' Does she not even realize that she took Fiona's sniper without permission? Well, maybe Fiona could use this to her advantage. An evil grin appeared on her face as she thought of a plan. "Linora," Fiona said seductively as she bent down towards Linora. "You're such a bad girl. You took something that isn't yours." Fiona put her hand on the scope of the sniper, saying in a low but very seductive way, "I should punish you for that." Linora blushed at Fiona's tone of voice, and then looked back at the target.
  Fiona giggled, and then looked at the target she was using as well. "How good are you doing?" Fiona asked before she saw scorch marks all around the dummy, scorch marks that weren't there before. "I rather not say." Linora replied, her cheeks turning a little pink. Fiona looked down at Linora, and then sighed. She went behind Linora, and then sat down over Linora's legs.(Linora was laying against her stomach, the sniper resting on a small box)
  Linora gasped when Fiona's arms went around her, her hands over hers. "Your problem is that you're aiming straight at the target you want. With this model, you have to look a little to the left in order to get an accurate shot. It's not the best, but it's mine."
  Linora felt very awkward in this position. Fiona was crouching over her legs, and she was leaning against her back. Fiona was still in her casual clothing instead of her bounty hunter armor, so the armor wasn't in the way as her breasts was squished against her back. Their faces were right next to each other's, their hands touching, their bodies touching. Oh lord, why did Linora have to become a lesbian now? And why did Fiona have to look so beautiful? With her short, black hair, bright blue eyes, and the way she seems to take control just makes Linora go head over heels with her.
  "Now, just rest the butt of the rifle against your shoulder." Fiona said, pushing the sniper against Linora's shoulder and bringing the two closer together. "Aim at the target, go a bit to the left." Linora made the Sniper move a bit to the left, her hands pressing harder on Linora's.
  "Look through the scope, make sure the target is in view, and once you're ready pull the trigger." Linora didn't look away from Fiona, but instead pulled the trigger. The room was filled with the sound of the sniper firing a single laser bolt, and it hit something. "Nice shot." Fiona said an impressed tone in her voice. Fiona looked at the dummy, and saw that she had, indeed, hit the target, and right at the heart.
  "If the target isn't wearing any heavy armor or any type of shielding then you just killed him or her." Fiona stood up, allowing Linora to get a better look at her clothing. She was wearing a tight, blue shirt that clung to her body, along with black shorts. Her hair was pulled back into a bun and she was wearing a silver bracelet.
  She looked quite sexy.
  "If I don't watch my back when this is all cleared, you may just kill me." Linora didn't say anything, but instead watched her walk out of her, room, watching how she walks like a super model and then looked up at her ass. What was this strange feelings between her legs and in her chest? Was this just lust, or was this love?

  Cyan was over joyed when he finally finished fixing the ship. He looked behind himself at F4, saying, "Go tell Korvas that we're good to go." F4 turned around, and ran towards the cockpit. Upon reaching the cockpit, it told Korvas and Linora, who was sitting in the co-pilots seat, that the ship was ready to go. Linora and Korvas activated the engines and shields, and then flew up into the sky.
  "Korvas, Fiona told me that we need to go to a planet called Anoan to lie low. Set in the coordinates." Korvas nodded, and then told F4 to get the coordinates in. When they left the atmosphere, Linora immediately turned on the stealth generator. "This should be easy." Linora said, happy. For once, something was about to go very smoothly. When they neared the fleet of six Republic war ships, she felt her heart beat speed up.
  Before they could make the jump to light speed, they would have to fly past the fleet. Linora looked over, and saw Korvas was sweating greatly. He was just as tense as she was. Before they could get to the first war ship, though, Linora saw on her scanners all the fighter's coming back. This made her even more tense, and if the stealth field generator continues to work, then they should be able to get out of here safely.
  When they reached the first war ship, Linora mentally crossed her fingers. She doesn't want to see how long the Blood Angel can last against all of these war ships. Fiona walked into the cockpit, her hands on her hips. Her hips that Linora would love to see without her armor on. Linora immediately got rid of those thoughts, and then went back to the task at hand.
  As soon as they got to the second war ship, Linora's heart fell. "Shit! The Stealth Generator is malfunctioning! Cyan, what's going on?" Linora yelled. Cyan swore into the com link, and then said, "I don't know! I'll try to find out, you just get us past this fleet! We should get out of here as fast as possible!" Linora sent all power from the weapons and the scanners to the engines, increasing their speed by an incredible amount.
  But it wasn't enough When they were only half way through, the stealth field generator failed, making them visible to all six war ships. "Korvas, punch it!" Fiona yelled, and Korvas sent all power from the stealth generator into the engines.
  Giving power to the shields won't help them for very long, and their best way out of here is to give the engines all the power they can give. It took the war ships about three seconds before they started firing at the Blood Angel, and soon the fighters were in pursuit.
  Linora reached out with the force, and sensed the fighter pilots thoughts. "They're coming in from behind us and from both of our sides. Our best option is to go straight." She opened her eyes, and then groaned. "Right into that war ship."
  Korvas mentally swore, and then punched it. "What the hell, Korvas? You're flying us straight at that war ship!" "Well, it's either that or fly right into an group of fighters. Besides, the ship can hold" Fiona looked straight out the cockpit at the growing war ship. "At least, I hope she does."

  Jakar watched the ship fly past his, and go straight at another one. 'How did they appear there? Do they have an stealth field generator? If so, then why didn't they esape? It must take too much power, so they did go and land on Geeda, probably to try and gain supplies. The cloaking system must have had blown an fuse or something. They are trying to make a break for it, but we won't let that happen.'
  Jakar got on his com link, and then keyed in his apprentice's frequency. "Leo, Gunther, return to our ship. We are done here." He then turned the com link off, and placed it on his belt. 'Yes, we are done here. They are now ours.'

  Korvas felt the ship underneath him shake again, causing him to almost bite his own tongue. "We're almost to the bridge! Shall I open fire?" Linora looked over, and yelled, "Are you kidding me, Korvas? Don't fire! We already almost killed a few Republic pilot's, I rather not kill an entire bridge crew. That will only piss the Republic off even more."
  Korvas sighed, and then flew past the bridge. "We're clear, I'm making the jump now!" He said as F4 entered the coordinates for the closest planet, but was ready to enter three more coordinates.

  Kya Wooro was a female Republic pilot, and had a bone to pick with these pilots. She takes good care of her ship, treats it like it was her own baby, but then they went and fired at her, scratching the paint job. To Kya, that was like hurting her baby. She armed three proton torpedoes, locked them on to the Blood Angel, and, with great pleasure, fired.

  Korvas pulled an lever, but as the stars stretched into stars, the ship shook, their shields disappearing. "What the hell was that?" Korvas said as the stars were stretched into long lines. Linora started checking the systems, and then swore. "We got hit by three torpedoes, the first two destroying our shields while the third hit one of our engines. We're leaking fuel." Linora said as she forced the ship out of light speed.
  "We have enough fuel to go somewhere else, but where should we go? Any suggestions?" After a minute of silence, Fiona spoke up. "Chode." Linora looked up with a confused look. "Chode? Is that a planet?" Fiona walked forward, saying, "No, it's a very dear friend of mine. She owns a small safe haven on the planet Tricaya. Her full name is Lyra Chode." Fiona brought up the coordinates to Lyra's safe haven. "We have just enough fuel to get there."
  She looked over at Korvas, saying, "Well, let's get going. We should get going before we run out of fuel." Korvas sighed, and then set in the coordinates for Tricaya. The stars stretched into long lines as the Blood Angel entered Light Speed.

  Sarli Falco giggled as she felt her son kick two times. Her husband, Horuck Falco, was out on an peace mission with two other Jedi to the planet Fer'Klak, where the Ferian's and the Klak's are on the verge of a civil war. "Sarli, dinner's ready!" Viera Bane said, walking into the bedroom with her baby on her back in a baby-holding backpack. The baby was Salvor, Viera's and Cron's new born son. He was born when Sarli was four monthes before Sarli got pregnant.
  "Okay, coming." Sarli said as she stood up slowly, her hand on her stomach. As she walked into the kitchen, her mind yet again wondered to Horuck. Just like all pregnant women, Sarli has been having mood swings, and even though it can be irritating, Horuck puts up with it and tries to make Sarli happy.
  Sarli couldn't imagine anyone else that would be perfect for her, and she has met a lot of people while traveling throughout the galaxy. When she entered the kitchen, her nostrils met a wonderful smell of arrayed food. Sarli saw two Nerf steaks served with a large helping of Yoba's, some Cracknel, a small amount of Canron(Which is very hard to obtain), and a full glass of milk. "Come on, Sarli." Viera said, guiding Sarli to the table. "Since you are pregnant, you must eat for two now, and that means eating every single bit of this."
  When Sarli sat down, she started to drool. She always wanted to pig out, but didn't want to become fat. Well, today is her very lucky day. When Sarli finished eating, she burped. She blushed madly, embarrassed. Viera giggled, and then picked up the empty plates. "I never imagined seeing you burping, Sarli. This is a day I will definitely remember."
  Viera turned around, and then took the dishes to the sink. "Um, Viera, If you don't mind, when I first heard you and Cron were married, you were hiding on Kavar Why were you hiding there,  and how come you were hiding your relationship with Cron?" Viera sighed, and then set down a plate she was holding. "Cron has made many enemies, many which would jump at the chance to take me or Katalana hostage to get at him, so we had to keep it a secret." Viera looked back at Sarli, saying, "But I don't care anymore. Katalana likes being with Cron a lot more than with just me in a planet in the middle of nowhere, so we decided to stay here, but to keep Cron from worrying about us, we decided to stay in the Jedi Temple."
  Viera looked back at Salvor, saying, "Of course, Cron became a lot more protective when I became pregnant again." Viera reached back, and then stroked Salvor's cheek, causing him to fidget a bit. "He was very happy though, and I even heard he always talked about me and our unborn child with his troops in the front lines."
  Viera looked at Sarli, sensing just how touched she felt from the story. Viera loved that feeling. "Okay, let's forget about me for a while, and get focused on you!" Viera said, pointing at Sarli. "It's about time I show you how to properly breast feed a child!" As Viera took Salvor out from the back pack, Sarli gulped.
  This was not going to be fun.
