Je'daii Deku 2: The Clone Wars

Departure

The quartet relaxed after their long day, taking stock of the drinks given. The Baroness was quite intrigued to hear of Earth, the planet Hizoshi came from. After all, the superhuman abilities alone make them powerful potential allies. Still... hearing of the Sith Empire was certainly enlightening. Apparently, she had quite the set of adventures herself. While Eve hunted treasure and helped take down sith lords... Erin had her own journey. First taking on the Great Hunt, becoming a Mandalorian in the process. In order to win, she had to take on her targets... and anyone who had the same target as her... well, they would be disappointed. If they remained alive. Some had sense. Some didn't. It was the nature of the business.

However, their rest was interrupted. The advisor from before, entered the room, "Baroness, there is a ship approaching our position. It isn't responding to our hails."

Looking at Eve, Erin asked her sister: "Do you know anything of this?"
She laughed hesitantly, before taking stock of the souring expression. "Yeah, it sounds like Soundwave."

"Soundwave?" That name was unusual. It was reminiscent of the naming styles of ships, not people or droids. There was a growing noise of a familiar ship, before a large boom, and the shaking of the earth below them. Everyone bolting upright, they ran through the door, guards holding blasters, while Ahsoka and Hizoshi held one of the twin lightsabers. Finally reaching outside... they found a massive robot, styled with purple and dark gray metal, and glowing purple highlights. They were kneeling on the ground, aiming one of its arm-mounted laser cannons at two individuals, freaking out on the ground. They were from the hangar, Hizoshi realized, eyes wide. "Wait... those are the men from the hangar! One of them is..."
"An Organa." Erin remarked dourly, her golden eyes blazing with hatred.

Awed, Lok approached the robot. "Soundwave?"
"Soundwave Reporting." The robot replied. HIs vacant, angular visor didn't betray any emotions, but very much reminded the crew of his holographic form, albeit much, much larger, and very much more mechanical.

"Amazing..." Lok stated.

However, Erin withdrew a pistol and aimed it at the two, walking towards them in the process. All the while, she called to the other Thul troops: "Get them inside. I want to have a chat with them."

"As you command." Gesturing around, the other soldiers immediately seized the two currently panicking men, and hauled them inside. Raising her pistol to face the air, Erin faced the large mechanical being. "So, this is your ship? Seems a bit cumbersome. And impractical."

"That's not what he normally looks like, to be honest..." Eve stated, "I didn't know he could do that."

Hizoshi pitched her own thoughts. "I did. He was a powerful criminal back on my world. When we patched him up... well... he got bigger."

Watching the interlopers be taken away... Soundwave then turned his blank visor to the others... before focusing on Lok, for a moment longer than the rest. With a nod, He planted his hands onto the ground, and his body began to shift and transform back into a ship. With the overall design of an oversized ARC170, it was certainly impressive.

"I admit, This... Soundwave has good taste." Erin smirked, holstering the weapon, before looking back at Eve. "I trust this is where we part ways?"

"For now." She nodded. "I won't leave for nearly as long, but..."

"Do what you need to." There was a hint of bitterness... but also, resignation. "I have my own duties. To my people. Just... make sure my former employers are kept on ice. The sith have been gone for a long time. We don't need more of them."

"That may... not be possible."

Erin didn't voice her agreement to that, but nodded instead. The other three turned back to the baroness, as she called them forth. "Crew of the Soundwave... now, I'm not usually the type to make speeches or savor goodbyes, but there is probably going to be a long time before you visit, if you decide to. Not that it would be a great idea in the first place, considering... well... it's likely I'll be contesting the Organas..." Erin spat that word like dirt, "... for control of Alderaan. While the Clone Wars aren't here, war is coming. So, stay safe."
