Love Across The Stars (Aayla Secura x Male Reader)

Jedi In Peril

3rd Person POV:

The sun rose on Coruscant. illuminating the bustling cityscape, the Senate building and of course the Jedi temple. The large halls filled with seasoned masters, energetic knights, ambitious padawans and exited younglings. The temple today seemed busier than normal today however.

The council chamber was in session. The circular room filled with the wisest and strongest  Jedi. The light illuminating the patterned floor and elegant walls, as the Jedi masters were in heavy debate.

Recently A Jedi master Jaro Tapal was sent on a reconnaissance mission to Felicia. However he was misinformed, out maned and under gunned. To save the fate of his troopers he surrendered to the Pirate group run by one Hondo Ohnaka. Then he and his five troopers were promptly taken to his home on florrum.

The council sits silently as a hologram of the large purple Lasat male, Held by stun cuffs. The hologram also had Hondo standing in front of the distressed Jedi as he was tased every minute. The brown wrinkled Weequey Stood with his hands behind his back, goggles on his eyes and a small helmet like thing on his head.

As Hondo negotiated for compensation and ransom, the Jedi masters look stunned by the happenings.

"Sooo... to recap, I want compensation for my men, my fuel and my shoulder that one of these crazy troops shot. And of course the ransom..." He stops to look at the Jedi master, gently cupping his cheek in his hand.

"...I hope your Jedi friends really love you, because you and your little clones here  look very expensive...And lucky for you...I like...expensive things." He spoke to the restrained Jedi before the hologram cut out.

The Jedi all took a breath, some looked more tense, others stunned, others worried...but some looked unfazed at all. Master Windu sat, his bald head reflecting the sunlight, emotionless as he sat back, flexing his robes.

"I'll go." Master Kenobi spoke up.

"out of the question" Master Windu said, once again leaning forward.

"We need to save Master Tapal." Master Plo Spoke, oddly out of turn.

"We are thin spread as it is." Master Mundi protested.

"I realize Master Tapal is a close friend of yours, but we cannot expend the man power." Master Windu falsely sympathized.

"What of the Senate, Perhaps we meet his demands?" Master Peill spoke up.

"They would not negotiate with pirates, Anakin and I already tried." Master kenobi dejected. looking to the ground.

Silence enveloped the council room, no one having any ideas. No way out, stuck in a corner with no hope but to watch a good friend be subjected to Hondo's will.

From the far left corner, Master Ti sat fully cloaked, even covering her face, and her entire body with the large brown hood.she timidly raised her hand, her cloak falling to her elbow exposing her extremely thin arm. She had not been an active council member since kamino, she was still shy to speak and it seemed she never revealed her face anymore.

"Master Ti, Something to add, you have?" Master Yoda  gestured to her, bringing her to the councils attention.

"Y-Yes I...I may have a-an idea...maybe" she stuttered and mumbled.

"Well which is it? Do you have an idea or not?!" Master Windu said, seemingly seeing her newly timid nature a weakness to the council. This outburst secretly caught Master Yoda by surprise.
