The Rebel Faction

Walking around Bespin, Tec felt as if he was permanently in the air.

He had received time off, thought it was hardly time off. Jedi never had breaks, and when they did, something always happened.

He walked up and down the corridors of the cloud station on Bespin, at the moment, looking for Raven. He was supposed to meet her here, somewhere, but in this great polace, he wasn't sure if he would find her.

His mind drifted to her, and then to Jerusha, and then to the Jedi Order, and then to other things, and this annoyed him. As he was walking down one hall, he spotted Raven at the other end, and called to her. "Raven!"

Tec looked at the rubber duckie real quick, and then said to Raven, "Well, what took me so long was that they noticed my lightsaber, and tried to get me to part with it; due to old problems. Of course, they didn't get it."

Tec opened his robes just enough to show her his lightsaber dangling from his tool belt.

"And thanks for the duckie, I may just start a collection, though I doubt it will get very big."

Then remembering her last question, Tec looked quizically at her, and then grinned. "The last time I went somewhere with you, I got you in a lot of pain. Hopefully, if anything happens here, you won't get hurt again; but in truthful answer to your question, yes, I do think something will happen, but not an all hell brake out."

Placing his new rubber duckie inside of his robes, Tec asked Raven what she wanted to dop first; saying her being a female and him a male gave her rights as to where they went.

He was glad that now, he was not a Padawan anymore, like he had been on his last mission with Raven before she became Shadow. His only mission with her, in fact....

"Where did she go?" Daren yelled at the flight officer aboard of the Ossus hangar bay. The flight officer tried to act like he was not paying attention, but the rank of Major was not something easy to ignore, especially when he was a mere flight corporal. "Well?"

After punching a few more things into the datapad, the flight corporal sighed and looked up. "She says she left for Bespin on some vacation," he said. The commander's heart sank suddenly, and his knees grew a bit unsteady. He had tried to grow close to Raven over the weeks, but yet...now she was off...in Bespin and- "Apparently one Tec Fireheart went with her."

"Fireheart?!" Daren yelled in frustration. She had taken another man??

"Um...yes sir, now if you'll uh...excuse me, I need to er um...go fix some um...Y-Wing Torpedo tubes, bye!" with that the flight officer fled. Daren's eyes grew watery, and he made for his X-Wing he'd nicknamed War Hog.

The all too familiar clanking of his boots against the ladder reminded him of days during war time...of the CSA Assault on Etti IV. His eyes lulled about as the hatch to his @#%$ pit opened, and he leapt inside.

Sealing the vacuum tight hatch, he gripped the yoke stick and activated the engines quickly. I have to see her...

With that he took off, left the planet, and made way for the planet Bespin. He would be there soon.

Raven's smile then faded, and she sighed.

"Yeah, I'd imagine he would be mad, but I'd doubt at me. Think about it. He'd be more likely be mad at you, instead. I'm possibly percieved as a sweet, innocent, well, you get the idea. It'll be hard for him to listen to an explanation." Raven replied.

Yeah, and he'd be pissed because I didn't tell him where I went.

"Well, casinos really don't sound appealing to me anyways. Could walk around and watch crowds of tourists like us until we figure it out." Raven added.

"Yeah, true. I'm kinda restless at the moment myself." Raven replied, shrugging her shoulders.

"Well, who says rest is a requirement of vacations, anyways?" she then added.

Well, she hadn't been able to sit down anyways in the past few hours since she got here. All because a certain person wasn't there. That person would be able to find something to do in a bright, sunny, floating city, whenever she couldn't.
