Cal grunted as he hit the ground, having been pushed back by the Second Sister.

Second Sister: You've clearly had some training, though you are no match for me.  Who was your master, padawan... someone I killed perhaps?

She ignited her lightsaber, about to finish Cal off, when she was suddenly sent flying backwards.

Second Sister: Who-

???: Back off, Second Sister.  You might be an inquisitor...

A figure landed between the two, igniting two lightsabers.  One was purple... the other was red.

???: But you're no match for me.

Cal wasn't able to see my face, as it was hidden under my hood, but the Inquisitor growled.

Second Sister: Ah, YN.  I'm honestly glad you're here.  I've finally been given another chance to kill you!

The Second Sister rushed at me, but ran into an invisible barrier I had made with the force.  I turned to the boy as she began yelling in frustration and trying to break through.

YN: Get up, kid.  We're getting you out of here.

The two of us suddenly floated into the air, being lifted into the open door of the Mantis.  Athra put us down and let out her breath.

Athra: I said open the door so I could bring him up, not jump out yourself, moron!

I laughed nervously as she sighed.

Cal: Who are you two?  You had lightsabers, and she used the force.  Are you... Jedi?

Athra: I was a Jedi Padawan, but not anymore.  YN here saved me during the purge.

Cal: I see... so were you a Jedi?  One of your lightsabers...

He turned to me and I smirked.

YN: I was at one point.  But when the purge happened, I had already left the order.  I chose to take... well, let's say a different path.

Cal looked confused, but didn't question it.  Cere walked over and introduced herself and Greez, while Athra and I sat down.

Athra: So... Bogano next?

YN: For him.  I'm getting dropped off on Coruscant first.

Athra: What?  Why?

YN: I need to find something... personal.  It's locked in a vault in the archives.

Athra: Then I'm coming too.  I worked as a librarian for a bit before the fall of the Republic, I know every vault there and where they are.

I nodded as Greez called out from the front.

Greez: We're here you two, coming in to land now!
