Warnings: short chapter, finale, fluff
Word count: 1k
Months have gone by now with you at the Bad batches side. You got Crosshair and Omega back after Omega had been taken by the empire, which is also when you had used your gifts to try and stop it so now not only was the empire on Omega’s tail, but you were too.
Currently you were all on Pabu, watching from a distance as Wrecker and Tech loaded up the Marauder for the next mission to try and achieve information on Tantiss for Rex and Echo.
A soft sigh escaped your lips as you turned around, noticing Crosshair and Hunter approaching you with frowns on their faces. “What? What are those sad looks for?”
“Whatever you need to get off your chest Hunt… I'm here.” You replied, sitting down at the base of the tree, gesturing for him to follow and he did. “Listen… these past few months have been amazing… having you fighting at our side, keeping us safe and away from harm… you’ve done so much good for us… and i- i can't help but admire you…” Hunter trai you asked, stepping towards them as you let your hands fall out of your pockets and to your sides. Hunter looked at Crosshair for a moment before turning to you.
“We all kind of agreed that it would be best for you and Omega to stay on Pabu while we search for this information… you aren't safe traveling with us, and we don't want to put everyone at risk too… so your staying here.” He stated, and you stared at him for a moment before sighing.
“Alright.” You muttered, however Hunter continued, arguing like you hadn’t just agreed… he then paused, and looked at you. “Wait what?” he asked, and you snorted, approaching him and gently grabbing his hand. “I said okay, I will stay and keep my eyes on Omega, and protect the people here. You're right, I will only put you and the team at risk.” You spoke softly.
Hunter pursed his lips for a moment, giving Crosshair a look which made the taller clone turn and leave. Hunter leads you over to the tree, his hand still gripping yours. “I need to tell you something else…” He muttered, and you gave him your full attention, your eyes flickering around as you admired his features.
led off, glancing up at you before he turned away again. “Look… i guess what i'm trying to say is that i lo-”
Hunter didn’t have the chance to finish his sentence as you had stolen away the rest of his words by pressing your lips against his. Hunter quickly wrapped his arms around your waist, pulling you closer until you both ran out of air and had to pull away. Regardless he still held you, and you just smiled. “Me too.” you whispered, cupping his cheek in your hand, watching and feeling him nuzzle into you. “Do what you need to do… and i will be here when you come back.” You whispered.
And that’s what happened. The attack on Pabu was hard, and Omega gave herself up so you could all be safe, and you stayed behind when they all left to find her. You helped rebuild Pabu, expanding the docks and also building houses on the water by using stone and natural clays from the earth that stood well above the waterline. You babysitted children and had morning coffee with many mothers on the island.
More months passed and Hunter only commed you once or twice to check in, but other than that he was radio silent. But you had options to fill your time. You started teaching some of the kids magic with Shep and their parents permission, and the young clones that lived on the island you had taken under your wing and started training in combat and medicine, teaching them how to identify dangerous or medicinal herbs for aids and poisons.
The time you had spent on Pabu eventually blurred together, you were working on the new community garden when you heard the sounds of a ship coming closer and closer to the landing pad. You paid no mind to it however, assuming it was just Phee or Echo stopping by for supplies and rations. You were elbow deep in dirt when you started hearing some whispers from the citizens, and Shep who was beside you was now standing up.
“Shep? what's going on?” you asked, removing your arms from the first, picking the potatoes from the dirt. you placed them in your little basket before you spun around to look at what he was looking at… And there stood your men, every single one of them and Omega. Hunter locked eyes with you and he smiled. You stared for a few moments before looking away, wiping the dirt off your arms as you walked forward.
“You caught me at abad moment, you should have commed me so I could have cleaned up.” You told them nonchalantly, stepping in front of Hunter as you finally looked at him again. “Well? you gonna kiss me or what?” you asked, and within seconds Hunter had his arms wrapped around you with you hoisted up in his arms, your lips pressed together as the other men chuckled, and gave you both some space.
Eventually Hunter set you down, placing another kiss against your lips, slowly removing his arms as he grinned. “Pabu is looking amazing…you’ve been working hard.” He pointed out and you nodded. “Yeah… Shep made me assistant mayor, so I've definitely been a busybody trying to improve Pabu and its structure.” You said softly, leaning against Hunter as you walked up to the tree in the center of Pabu, taking a seat at the roots like you had before Hunter had to leave.
You just sat there, and eventually the others came to join you, staring at the sky as the sun began to set. These boys no longer had to worry about war, about the empire trying to hunt down Omega now that Hemlock was dead… you were safe with your family…
And you couldn’t ask for a more bittersweet ending.

“Go back!”
“Don't get rid of us”
“We fuel you”
“Feed us and we will make you stronger”
“Mother Talsin wouldn’t approve”
“Your a failure.”
“No wonder Merrin hates you.”
“If you kill us we-”
“Enough!” You shouted, stopping in your tracks as you gripped your head, the father you walked the louder and meaner these voices got. They were scared, they were leeches that you needed to pour salt on, and your salt was at the end of this crypt hall.
You sucked in a deep breath, rolling your head as you cracked your neck followed by your knuckles, You continued forward down the path, sending your little magic orb down a way to light up the tunnel further. It didn't take you long, and soon you entered this dusty clearing within the crypt, you looked around seeing piles of bones scattered around, as well as skulls and dead bugs.
The only life here was that of the spiders, and the history that these crypt’s held. You took a step forward, sending your light above you to reveal the whole room. You noticed another altar in front of you with half of Mother Talsin’s sphere. You took a few steps forward, pausing as your senses screamed at you to wait. And you did, moving your head to the side as you closed your eyes, listening… waiting…
Just then you heard a scream of anger and in a flash you drew your scimitars, holding them in front of you as a staff came crashing down against your scimitars, you pushed the assailant back, eyes widening as you quickly realized who it was. “Merrin…” You whispered, however she didnt pause and came at you again, spinning and teleporting all around you as she tried to strike you with her staff.
You however predicted every move, she was reckless and angry and you could understand why, but you offered her a chance and she gave it up.
You grunted as Merin slid underneath you, coming up behind you to hit the back of your legs, you blocked with one scimitar, however she used the other end of her staff to hit you in the face. You stumbled back as you spit out some blood from your mouth, staring up at Merrin. “Merrin stop! I don't want to hurt you.” You hissed, watching as she charged at you again.
You let out a sigh, quickly dodging out of the way, purple magic swarming you as you started teleporting all around the room you were in, moving every time Merrin lunged at you. You could see that she was growing tired, and so were you. So with one last quick teleport you appeared behind her, dropping your weapons as you wrapped your arms around her shoulders, gripping her tight as you forced her to the ground. She tried to fight you but your grip was strong, and eventually she dropped her staff, and let out a frustrated yell.
“Shh Merrin… I'm here…” You whispered, holding her tighter as you both sat in silence. You then turned her around to face her, however she refused to look at you. “Merrin, you have to let me face my past, and you can do whatever you want to try and stop me but it wont work…” You trailed off, reaching up to cup her cheek. Merrin was only a teenager, having to survive with a welp for company…
“Merrin, come with me. Meet my friends and travel the galaxy together. I offered it to you once, and i can do it again.” You whispered, and she finally looked at you. “Do what you need to do… Sister, but I'm staying, I can't leave… I'm not ready.” She whispered. Sighing, you stood up and brought her with you, nodding your head to her before returning your scimitars to your back. “I understand…” You trailed off again, giving her shoulder a firm squeeze.
“At least accompany me? you were part of my past, i can face it better with you.” You asked her, walking up to the shattered sphere. Merrin stood behind you, watching you curiously as you knelt down by the sphere, picking it up in your hands. You visibly winced, the whispers now screams in your head.
“I will not be punished for surviving.” You growled out, letting your magic flow around you, beginning to separate your purple from the green magic that fueled the whispers, placing that magic within the sphere.
Your hands shook, and a headache formed and quickly worsened which made it hard to concentrate. “No!” you shouted, and Merrin jumped a little, but as you pushed out more dread magic she started to hear the whispers you've heard since that dreaded day. “Oh sister… im so sorry.” She whispered, taking her place beside you as she placed a hand on your shoulder.
You looked at her, green and purple magic having filled your eyes, fighting to take control over your body. She nodded to you, and you both closed your eyes… This time her magic and yours tied together, and with that combined power you both continued to push out those whispers and screams, and with a last push of resistance from the dead and long gone, you and Merrin had released a burst of magical energy, and you had banished all that evil and darkness from your heart, from the source of your abilities…
You leaned back for a moment, placing the sphere back on the altar, turning to look at Merrin who smiled at you. “you did it.” She started softly, however you shook your head. “We did Merrin. We did it.” You corrected, standing up to your feet after a moment, feeling a bit shaky. Regardless you helped Merrin to her feet, and she quickly pulled you into a hug.
“I'm sorry… truly… if I do decide to leave, please come find me, and we can talk and be sisters again.” she offered, and you nodded, kissing the top of her head before letting go. You let out a deep breath, releasing the last of that hate and regret you held in your heart before speaking up. “No matter how far we are from each other, I'll always have you in my mind and soul.”
And with that, you and Merrin left the crypt, eventually finding your way back to Hunter and the rest of the batch, who all looked up at you, and then to Merrin when you both had entered the room. “We heard screams, are you okay?” Omega asked, running up to you as she grabbed your hand. You nodded, smiling. “Yes, I had to do what was necessary, sorry if I scared you.” You patted her head, turning to Hunter. “Im okay… we can leave.” You told him.
Hunter nodded to you, standing up with his brothers, and together you all walked out the way you came, taking the bridge back to the Marauder. Merrin followed until you had reached the ramp, you turned around to look at her and then glanced at the Marauder, however she shook her head. She needed to face her own demons, and she had to do so here, for however long it took.
You waved goodbye as you stepped further into the ship, the ramp closing behind you whilst making your way to the cockpit, you took your seat, turning to look at the Bad batch who all seemed to be staring at you. Wrecker was the one who spoke up first. “so… are all your cool witchy powers gone?” He asked, making you laugh. in no time, making your way to the parlor which seemed somewhat empty for the time of day, however you saw Cid cleaning glasses and when she noticed your presence she grinned. “So you're alive! good i've got a job for y'all.” She cut right to the chase, leading the group into her office.
You shook your head, sending a gentle bolt of magic into his face which then exploded into a light shimmer before dissipating. “No, no I definitely lost something… but I also gained something… I feel stronger, like my ancestors and Mother Talzin and all the dead can no longer hold me back. I'm free to walk my own path, and I'm happy.” You answered, stealing a glance at Hunter who had a look of.. fascination spread across his face.
However he then turned away, and you did too as tech lifted off from Dathomir, flying off world and then jumping into hyperspace. Back to Ord Mantel… however before you could forget, you turned to Hunter. “You still have my rifle?” You asked, and he sat up, also seeming to forget about it. “Yea here, sorry it totally blew my mind.” He chuckled, placing the rifle in your hands. You grinned and nodded, tracing your fingers over the engravings, leaning against the back of your chair as you let your eyes flutter closed.
You were exhausted but you were back on Ord Mantell. You leaned against the wall close to the door, your eyes trained on Hunter as Cid gave you very minor details about the mission, only the coordinates. “I need you guys to retrieve this substance called Ipsium…”
And now you were here, having just been trapped only to then find an exit, the tension between everyone at an all time high as tech had lost what Ipsium you had already gathered up, and now thanks to omega who was in a mood because of what Tech had said earlier, you still had ipsium which was a bit more pure than the other ones earlier.
You were out of the cave and safe, sure, but you had no ship, that was the major issue… and the storms on this planet were unpredictable. However there was a spaceport that wasn't too far from where you were, so you all made the journey there, tensions still high…
Hunter took the lead but you weren't too far behind, mostly keeping to yourself as the hot sun bared down on you. You wiped some sweat off your brow, letting out a sigh as you checked your water skin… which was empty. “Lucky me.” You grumbled, fiddling with the water skin as you continued to walk, not noting that Hunter had stopped.
You walked right into his chest, which startled you and made you jump away a bit, but Hunter could only chuckle, offering you some water from his own water flask. “Here, don't want you to wither away.” He kidded, and you smiled, taking the water flask and taking a few sips before handing it back to him.
You and Hunter shared a look, one that sent a tingle down your spine. You could feel your cheels heat up and you quickly looked away, beliving that it was just the sun that made your face hot, and not the way his beautiful auburn eyes shimmered in the light… or how he looked at you period.
Soon enough you reached the space port, finding yourselves a speeder that could be tuned up… a veru busted tuned up speeder, but one that would work nonetheless. Omega then suddenly gasped. “We forgot Gonky!” She exclaimed.
Tech sighed. “The thieves most likely disabled the ships transponder, so we cant track it.” Omega shook her head. “I dont mean the marauder, we can track Gonky!” She exclaimed, and Tech complimented her on her thinking… You could see the way she brightened up, and it made you glad that they were no longer mad at each other.
Omega is eventually succesful on Tracking Gonky and reveals that he and the Marauder are 100 clicks east, so once the speeder was operational. It was a bit of a squeeze, and you had to find purchase on either the floor… or Hunters lap… However that choice was quickly made for you as you felt hands on your waist quickly pulling you down. You turned your head, seeing hunter give you a slight nod.
You let out a sigh, but let yourself relax as you slid an arm across his shoulders, holding on while Tech drove.
You soon reached the area where Gonky was tracked, and you stayed behind out in the open in case the thief tried to run while Hunter and the others searched. However when you heard shouting you made your way over, seeing him already apprehended by omega who had her energy bow pointed at the thief.
The Marauder was revealed, and now came the plan of infiltrating the mine to get the ship back, and with teamwork and a little subtle help from your magic you successfully reached the Marauder. You patted the side of the ship, relieved to see it before you turned to Hunter and the others.
They all agreed that Omega and Baro will go and remove the ray shield so that they can actually fly out, and in the meantime you and Tech would get to fixing the ship, which had its hyperdrive removed, and Hunter and Wrecker would keep watch. You stayed focused on the task at hand, but you could occasionally feel eyes on your figure every time you would bend down or reach across to grab a tool. Eventually you turned your head, catching Hunter's eyes with your own.
His eyes widened as you raised an eyebrow, watching as he quickly looked away, pretending as if he was nor just checking you out. Now people have flirted with you before and have checked you out before… but seeing Hunter do it again you felt that tingle fall down your spine. You quickly got back to work, hearing some new voices as you and Tech almost had the hyperdrive reinstalled.
Hunter and Wrecker quickly improvised as a couple miners started asking about the ship and the hyperdrive. Wrecker came up with the excuse that Makko had sent them… and it seemed to buy a little more time as You and Tech fixed the hyperdrive.
You hadn't realized that Omega had been caught, but Hunter was gone to check and watch over them. when Tech had commed Hunter, your eyes widened as he explained that Baro and Omega have been found out. Tech, Wrecker and yourself then make your way to the bridge where Makko is, Omega being held by one of the droiers the droid to throw Omega over the edge, your eyes go wide, glancing back at Tech and Wrecker who shook their head, a silent order not to use your magic… where was hunter when you needed him…
Meanwhile, Baro emerged and argued with Makko, the words that were said were blurred to you as your eyes stayed trained on Omegads behind him. You ready your sniper, aiming at Makko’s head while the others point their blasters. “If you fire you’ll ignite the ipsium! and no one will get out of here.'' Makko warned, and Tech scoffed. “We don't miss.”
However this only seemed to Irritate Makko as he ordered the droids to throw Omega over the edge. When Makko ordered Omega to be thrown over, you almost reach out with your magic, until a grappling hook is shot forward and you see Hunter swing and grab Omega, bringing her to a safe platform.
You let out a sigh of relief, training your weapon back on Makko, and quickly you shoot the droid's heads before knocking Makko off balance. You watched as Baro extended his hand to the man, but Makko then tried to drag the boy with him… however one of the other miners grabbed Baro, and you all watched as Makko lost grip and fell into the molten lava. You wince, and turn your head as you see Omega and Hunter reach the bridge you were on.
You walked up to the both of them, pulling them into a tight hug. “You both had me really worried.” You whispered, giving Hunter a look before you grabbed Omega's hand. “Let's get the hell out of here.” You told her, walking back to the Marauder with Hunter and the rest.
You make your way onto the ship first while Omega talks with Baro after the batches' items are returned, taking a seat in the cockpit as you drop your head into your hands. When you were stuck in that cave with Hunter, the tension growing between you two was growing unbearable, and now seeing Hunter risk himself, and seeing Omega almost get hurt… It was just a lot to take in handing it back to him, now walking side by side with him. “Thank you Hunter… I appreciate it.” You muttered to him.
Soon Hunter and the rest enter the cockpit, and you sit up straight, offering them gentle smiles so they don't ask questions. After leaving and jumping to hyperspace, once again setting course for Ord Mantell. However A transmission from Cid could be heard, and everyone gathered in the cockpit as Cid popped up as a hologram. You narrowed your eyes, staying by Hunter's side as Cid acted all innocent, ony for Omega to argue that they needed Cid, and she just left them.
“You're fine now aren't ya? and you got your ship back.” She argued back, this time you huffed and spoke up. “Yeah with no help from you.” You growled, seeing Cid’s eyes widen slightly before she just went back to glaring.
“Do you wanna mope? or make money because I got a tip on a downed ship which means cargo right for the taking. I'll even give you thirty percent of the cut.” She offered, and you rolled your eyes, crossing your arms over your chest as tech spoke up.
“That is our standard percentage.”
“Alright.” Cid paused in thought before continuing. “this one time lets say.. thirty five percent…” She trailed off, seeing each of the glares coming from all of you, she sighed. “Okay fourty.” She paused again, but you gave her a look that made her groan. “Fine, fifty percent as a token of my good will that you seem to have forgotten… I'm sending you the intell now. dont come back unless you’ve scavenged something valuable.” She said.
Hunter huffed. “What makes you think we’ll come back at all?” He asked, getting a glare from Cid. “Don't test me, bandana, just get it done.” she spat before the com cut off. You sighed, turning to look at Hunter.
“Severing ties with Cid could be problematic, we should just do this job for her and give her what she wants and then working for her will be history.” You suggested, resting a hand on Hunter's shoulder as Wrecker got up and walked towards the back of the cockpit
Hunter sighed, but nodded. “Yeah you're right… Cid only set coordinates, no ship transponder code or any indication of what caused it to crash.” He huffed, and you rolled your eyes. “Surprise surprise.” You muttered, pulling up a seat to his side, turning to face him. Omega then spoke up, biting a piece off of her ration bar. “How hard could scavenging be?”
You and Hunter shared a look again, before setting course to the coordinates that Cid had sent you…This would be a long day…
When you arrived on the planet by the shipwreck, the boys and omega geared up, but just as you were about to, Hunter placed a hand on your shoulder. “I need you to stay on the ship and keep guard, if anything goes wrong we need you to either get help or give us a quick escape. Tech taught you flight basics, so you'll be fine.” He stated, staring into your eyes.
You huffed, but nodded. “Alright, but you better come back in one piece Hu- all of you… all of you come back in one piece.” You huffed, sharing one more look with Hunter before you walked into the cockpit, snagging Tech’s seat, lifting your legs up as you pressed them against your chest, watching the stars while the others boarded the ship.
After what seemed like quite a while of waiting, you felt yourself drifting off to sleep. No matter how much you tried to fight it, the fatigue just came over you and you slumped into the seat, soft snores echoing throughout the Marauder…
“You know i could get used to this..” you trailed off, watching the sun set on some distant planet, you found yourself leaning against Hunter who had an arm wrapped around your waist, a chuckle leaving his lips. His hair was slightly longer, wet from having gone swimming in the ocean that you both had your feet dipped into.
“Yeah, me too.” He muttered against the top of your head, placing a kiss there before he shifted himself, pushing you down into the sand. A laugh left your lips, quieting down as Hunter started trailing soft kisses down your skin, sneaking a hand up your torso, his rough and calloused fingers making your skin tingle at just the smallest touch. You slid your hand into his hair, gently tugging on it. causing a small grunt to leave his lips.
He continued kissing downwards, his hands resting on your hips as he gave you a smirk, pulling the bottom half of your swimsuit off, before lowering his head to the spot you needed him to touch.. and as he did, a soft moan escaped your lips as he-
Shouting flooded your ears and you shot up, seeing your com flashing rapidly, you quickly reached for it, voice cracking as you spoke. “ye- yes? you guys okay?” You asked through the com, looking outside for any trouble. “Not really, we found a creature on board and it escaped into the forest, most likely heading to the village. get the ship ready.” Hunter explained, and you cleared your throat.
“Okay? What can I do?” You asked, Hunter quickly replied. “Fly as close to the city as you can without being spotted, and when I give you the word you come get us, alright?” He asked, and you hummed in affirmation. “Copy that Hunter. See you soon.” You replied before setting your calm down, getting the ship up and into the air before flying towards the town.
You weren't that good at flying yet but you did your best, landing in a clearing not too far, but not too close. You had a good path to see what was going on, seeing that creature that Hunter and the others were chasing.
When you had a moment to relax you ran your hands through your hair, thinking of the dream you had when you were asleep. Normally you dreamt about the past, but this was different. You were with Hunter and… you did things that couldn’t leave your mind. A soft groan left your lips, and you let your legs leave the chair that they were up on, sitting normally now.
“I need a wack in the head.” You muttered to yourself, standing up and letting yourself stretch as you took a quick walk to the fresher, splashing your face with cold water to try and shock yourself out of those thoughts. And it seemed to work for the time being…
You walked back to the cockpit, and now you waited, again… this time you didn’t fall asleep.
Soon after what seemed like hours you went to pick up Omega and the batch, letting Tech take over flying again which allowed you to sit in your seat in the cockpit, flying off world, and into hyperspace. You couldn't really look at Hunter, not after that dream, so you just stayed silent as Hunter and Tech spoke about a zillo beast, and about cloning it while looking at the information that they gathered.
Eventually Hunter told Tech to send that Data to Echo and Rex, familiar names, god you missed Echo, he was fun to hang around with, he had a sense of humor that you did quite enjoy… regardless, you finally looked up at hunter, offering a weak little smile.
God you had to stop thinking such nasty little things about this man… but did you really want to?

You had run out of rations before the week’s end, and the droids were still here, searching for any remaining survivors. In the distance you could still hear screams, but you knew you had to go out to gunt, to stay surviving. So while Merrin slept you gathered your things, holding your bow in your hands as you left the cave, slowly creeping through the forest, keeping your eyes and ears open for any animals, or for any dangers you might face. You could still hear your sisters screams in your head, angry cries… You found yourself crying, albeit silently, the tears just pouring from your eyes.
You shook away the anger and the hate. You moved forward. You heard something skittering so you lowered yourself to the ground, readyyour energy bow to shoot the creature, however when you saw two assassin droids emerge from the trees you lowered the bow, and pressed yourself into a tree, sucking in a deep breath, hoping that they didn't see you.
However when you poked your head out you heard a very childlike scream, and your eyes widened when you realized they had Merrin, and were about to execute her, but not before asking where the others were hiding. You quickly sprung into action, firing two shots with your energy bow before teleporting behind the assassin droids, slicing their heads off with your scimitars. And yet, in all your rage you were, and they grabbed Merrin because of it, and now you were surrounded, blasters aimed at you on all sides.
You were too blinded by your anger to see that it was a trap, they had been tracking you as soon as you left that cave but you would NOT let them kill Merrin, or you… so with all the energy you had, just as they started firing time seemed to slow, and a orb of purple seemed to expand around you and merrin, the energy you had created bursting from your body, destroying all the droids and life around you, trees starting to burn. Your adrenaline kept you going, and you grabbed Merrin and ran, and you didn't stop running, not until you were in a completely different place, one you'd never explored.
You only stopped when your knees started to buckle. You were exhausted, but you needed Merrin safe. She needed to be sa-
You woke up with a sharp gasp, sitting up abruptly, only to slam your head on the bottom of the bunk above you. You let out a loud groan, rubbing your head which you could already tell was starting to bruise. You heard some footsteps, and looking up you Noticed Omega by your side with a medpack at the ready, Hunter, Tech and the others all stood behind her, looking at you with curiosity, and distrust. Omega pressed an ice pack to your head, and you whispered a thank you, turning to face the men in front of you. “You have questions.” You stated rather than questioned, and Tech stepped forward, giving you a quick scan as he seemed to cross reference something before looking at Hunter, showing him the data pad.
“What are you?” Hunter asked, and you sighed. “I am a Nightsister, or I was… before my entire clan was executed, and I was left to survive, living with the fear that I would be found, and killed alongside my sisters..” You explained as water dripped down your face, you quickly wiped it away, revealing some of the markings on your face. “I don't want anyone else to know who or what I am” you stated, keeping the ice back against your forehead. “So you are from Dathomir?” Tech asked, and you nodded. “yes… after this mission… that was where i was going to ask you to bring me… I get these nightmares, and there's something or someone always whispering in my head… it's time i head back, discover how to rid myself of the voices and these nightmares.” You explained, looking at Hunter.
“The price of a witch is high, which is why I hide myself and keep these abilities secret. I don't want to die or get hunted… So please Hunter, keep my secret.” You begged him, Feeling omega place her hand on top of yours. You smiled for a moment, gripping her hand for a moment before letting go.
The man looked back at the others, who all seemed to share a look of agreement before they looked back at you. Hunter nodded to you before speaking. “You saved my family, I think we owe you more than just keeping a secret.” He said, and you let out a relieved sigh. letting yourself relax again.
“We can take you to Dathomir after we drop off what we got to Cid.” Hunter told you and you nodded, standing up and taking a step towards him, pursing your lips slightly before you pulled him into a sudden hug. You didn't know how else to express your gratitude. You pulled away from him, and he offered you a smile.
“Thank you.” You muttered to him, taking a step back as you looked at the others. “And thank you all as well, truely.” You added, looking back at Hunter with a smile.
“You know we work pretty well together.” You started, walking out with him to the cockpit. “Oh yeah?” He questioned, turning to face you. You grinned and nodded. “Well when we set those charges, we were like water and stone, they work together so smoothly that it just looks natural” You stated, sitting down in the cockpit.
You didn't say anything else after that as tech announced that the ship was dropping out of hyperspace, Hunter grabbed a seat beside you, pondering what you said.
The talk was Cid was over as soon as it started, The bad batch got their credits, and Cid seemed happy. However before you could turn around and leave, she gently grabbed your arm. “Hey, before you leave me in the dust with your new friends, I wanted to give you something. I know you've been improving with your sniping, so…” Cid trailed off before she ducked behind the bar, appearing moments later with a beautiful sniper rifle.
She handed it to you, seeing how big your smile grew. “Oh kriff Cid… it's beautiful, it matches the engravings on my scimitars… Thank you Cid.” You breathed out, pulling the Trandotian into a tight hug, however she quickly shoved you away, turning her head to the side.
“yeah whatever just go- and if you come back, stop in and say hi” She stated, pushing you towards the bad batch. You snickered, waving goodbye as you hooked the sniper on your back, letting it connect to a third magnet you had there, just for this moment. You walked up to Hunter, nodding.
You good with that thing?” he asked, and “Please.”the Trandotian into a tight hug, however she quickly shoved you away, turning her head to the side.
“yeah whatever just go- and if you come back, stop in and say hi” She stated, pushing you towards the bad batch. You snickered, waving goodbye as you hooked the sniper on your back, letting it connect to a third magnet you had there, just for this moment. You walked up to Hunter, nodding. “Are you good with that thing?” he asked, however you just shrugged. “I'm good, not great but good.” You stated, taking one last look at Cid before walking out with Hunter.
You made your way back to the Marauder, and quickly you snagged the fresher before anyone else, splashing some water onto your face, giving it a good scrub before drying it off with a stray towel you found. you set it back, and stared at your reflection, dragging your fingers over the markings on your face. You smiled, and walked back out of the fresher, looking over at the clones who were already off doing their own thing on the Marauder while tech set course for Dathomir.
You felt like you still needed some rest, so you made your way over to Hunter, tapping his shoulder to get his attention. When he looked up at you after fiddling with whatever he was working on, you smiled sheepishly. “Sorry to ask but- is it okay if I steal your bunk for a bit longer? I'm still quite tired and… If I'm going to face whatever is on Dathomir, I think I'll need some more rest.” You requested, not expecting Hunter to agree right away.
“Of course, thank you for asking. Go ahead and take my bunk, and if you need anything else just let me know.” He offered to you, and you smiled. “And you.” You replied, turning and walking away from him. You could feel his eyes trained on you still as you walked away, however you didn't pay any mind, and as soon as you reached the bed and got comfortable you were out like a light.
“You can't go!” Merrin shouted, fury in her eyes as green magic surrounded her form. You were standing by a ship that you stole from some unsuspecting travelers, ready to leave this planet for good. You stared at Merrin, shaking your head, noticing Malicos behind her with a smirk spread across his lips. “And you should just come with me Mer! It's not safe here, never has been and never will! And this… whatever he is, he's no good! I don't trust him and neither should you Merrin. If we leave we can find other clans! We can survive together like we always have!” You shouted back.
However Merrin only grew angrier, throwing a blast of magic towards you, which you quickly manipulated into your own magic, making it disappear. “I'm not going to fight you Merrin! Come with me or stay and rot with the pretender. But when he fails you, and you feel isolated, remember you had the chance to come with me and you didn't! Remember that when our sisters were massacred I was the one that kept you safe and made sure you survived!” You shouted, walking up the steps of your new ship, taking one last look at Merrin before you walked further into your ship. However you left the ramp open, just in case she changed her mind…
However when you took off, and Merrin was still standing there you simply sighed, closing the ramp and making your way out of the atmosphere. You had never flown but- there was always one way to learn, and you seemed to get a quick grip on the controls before selecting a random planet on the ships existing database, and you jumped to hyperspace, not looking behind you.
You opened your eyes after another dream, this one not as gory as the others but still equally as sad. You sat up slowly this time, rubbing your eyes before standing up. You fixed some stray strands of hair that fell from how you had it styled, and you made your way out to the cockpit, feeling refreshed and ready to take on your past… you didn't know how long you slept for, but the boys were still busy at work, making small repairs, or doing research.
You took a seat at the back of the cockpit, staring out the window and at the lights of hyperspace, a smile gracing your lips for a moment only for your mind to wander to Merrin… a sigh left your lips, one that was quickly picked up by Omega who was sitting beside you. “Are you okay?” She asked softly, tearing your attention from the window.
You looked down at her and smiled, nodding. “As good as I can be… I left someone behind on Dathomir… another Nightsister like me… I offered her a place with me but- she refused so I left her behind… I'm just wondering if… well… if she's still there… with that price?” You sneered at the last part, and Omega raised an eyebrow. “What prick?” She asked, and you sighed.
“A poser named Malicos. He told us that he was a jedi, and he could help us get revenge on those who killed our sisters but- I refused… Merrin however… she fell into his traps.” You muttered, looking away from Omega. “If I can avoid them… maybe it's all the better. But I have a feeling I'll need to confront her if I'm to rid myself of these nightmares.”
Omega nodded, and rested her hand on your shoulder for a moment before walking away. You heard some beeping coming from the center console and Tech quickly dropped the ship out of hyperspace. And right in front of you was the red planet of Dathomir. You let in a sharp breath, jumping slightly when you felt a warm and firm hand on your shoulder.
You looked up, relaxing when it was Hunter who was by your side. “You've got this. We'll be by your side the whole way.” he said, and you nodded. You entered the planet's atmosphere, flying over old ruins and burnt forests. You pointed out a good place to land and Tech did just that. Once fully landed you grabbed your gear and was the first to step off the ship. You inhaled, the long lost scents of your home filling your nose. You turned to Hunter, watching as the others piled out of the Marauder as well. “ready?” You asked them, staring ahead. “Dathomir’s terrain is dangerous, and some places are most likely blocked so we will have to find new routes to get to the center temple. So follow my lead, step where I step and we will be fine.”
You instructed them all sternly, but they were ready to follow your lead. Your magic felt strong here, and that was both good… and bad… regardless you started leading the way through the burnt forests towards the main temple. There were several different temples all over Dathomir, as well as encampments where your brother tribe lived, and you'd hope to avoid them because you really didn't want to get into a fight.
You and the bad batch walked for what seemed like hours, but was only multiple minutes at best. Tech was scanning the terrain and gathering data on the plants and soil. However when you approached a doorway, you signaled for everyone to stop. You sucked in a deep breath, channeling your magic through the door, hearing a soft click before the large doors opened slowly.
You raised your hand, a purple orb now floating above you, creating a light source that allowed not only you, but the others to see as well as you entered a cave system, one you knew well.
You lead them through, the only things heard being your breathing, or the grunts and coughs of those behind you. Nobody was really talking, and that was probably a good thing. The dead had ears here, and if Merrin was here there was a chance she could wake the dead… if she had Mother Talsins sphere.
A while later, you turned to face Hunter as another door was revealed. “We are getting close, the power of this place is growing stronger, and so are The whispers. Keep your weapons close, and if you see a living, stun, don't shoot. But kill any dead.” You explained, and you could sense the confusion. you sighed and with a swirl of magic you opened one of the beads cocoons, And summoned one of your dead sisters, who looked at you with her jaw slacked open, nothing behind her eyes. “Merrin isn't able to do this unless she has Mother Talsins sphere, and she most likely does, so just keep your eyes open.” You explained, closing your hand into a fist which rendered the dead nightsister into dust, which soon blew away from. The breeze.
You turned back to the door, extending your hand and your magic to open it. This time the door swung open with a bit more force than you intended, and you winced before walking forward. You stared up at the tall pires of the temple, and a sight left your lips. Despite that you continued forward with your newfound friends behind you… that was until-
“I never expected you of all people would come back here. It's been quite a while.” Came The sickly voice of Talon Malicos, who was leaning against the edge of the bridge to your side. How he got there so fast you had no idea, however when you heard the clicks of the batchers' blasters, you gestured for them to lower their weapons. “Malicos.” You sneered, glaring at him. “Why I'm here is none of your business. I suggest you stay out of our way.” You threatened, seeing him raise his hands with a chuckle.
“Please, don't mind me. Carry on with your business. I guess I shouldn't tell Merrin you're here either?” He asked, And Hunter noticed you tense up significantly. Suddenly purple magic lashed out at malicos like chains, and you brought him to his knees in front of you, anger in your eyes as you brought a magic chain to his throat and started to squeeze…
However when you felt a familiar warm hand on your arm, you released those chains, looking at Hunter with a newfound sadness. “Ignore him, let's keep moving.” He whispered to you, and you nodded despite those whispers telling you to end Malicos.
However you didn't, and instead you grabbed his face while he was still down. “Merrin made her choice. And like you, she will stay out of my way.” You spat on his face before letting him go, walking the rest of the bridge until you finally reached the temple, Hunter right beside you, just like he said he would be.
You lead them through the temple, following the whispers the louder they got until you reached what looked like an altar. You knelt down in front of it, grabbing a blade from your thigh as you brought it to the palm of your hand. You brought it up over the bowl on the altar, slicing a small cut in the palm of your hand, allowing your blood to drip into the bowl.
Green and purple magic clashed against each other in an uproar before your purple magic dwarfed the green. You rose back to your feet as two doors opened, one on either side of you. One would lead you to where you needed to go, and one… where your deepest desire lied. A sigh left your lips and you reached out with your hand, feeling with your magic in each door.
Eventually you stepped to the left side, and gestured for Hunter to follow. “Stay close now. No telling what could happen here.” You said softly, watching as they all got a bit closer to you. You lead them down until you reach a room. It was a large open space, one surprisingly unfamiliar to you.
You then turned to Hunter, placing a hand on his shoulder. “The rest I must face alone.” You stated, handing him your sniper rifle, grinning widely. “I'll come back for that.” You added, hearing him chuckle
“You better.” He rebutted. He found it odd however, that he was already caring so much for you. Maybe it was because you saved his family, or maybe it was because you were right. He was the rock that held everything together, and you were the fluid water that moved around him, and yet you fit together…
He watched as you walked away, disappearing down a dark hall. He turned to his brothers, gripping your rifle in his hands. “Best get comfy. This might take a while.”
