I didn’t write 700 words of Sloth/Gormos ABO to get one hit.

What do you think of the neopets villains, do you have a fav?

hmmmmm this is a good question. Most of my favorite neopets villains... would probably be based mostly on design, because I can’t think of too many characters that jump out at me. I’m fond of Ylana Skyfire, she’s got a cool design- Hubrid Nox is fun, Count Von Roo and Eliv Thade are good, Vira is cool. uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh OH Shadow Usul is great. Designer Zelroo has like, one trading card and thats it but he’s really cool too. Zeg Blackfin is another ‘well he’s just a cool evil space pilot’ but he’s cool and in space and i had his trading card as a kid so. Yeah i guess these are the ones i like most.

honestly, not a lot of strong feelings either way. at the end of the day, my favorite of all of these is probably hubrid nox just because he’s kind of silly, they killed him and made him a ghost which was pretty wild, and i like how he’s practically canonically MAGAX’s partner at this point

Chapter Sixteen

The Jedi Master appropriates a ship, quickly fleeing the Star Destroyer she had been moved too. Almost as soon as the ship hits space, she dismantles the tracking device, to be sure that no one will be able to locate her.

Keen maneuvers the ship further from the Destroyer, checking the on board maps to figure out where she is, and to locate some hyperspace coordinates. She finds that she's a small jump from Alderaan, a planet which holds someone to whom she is very close.

"Alright, you said I could drop by any time, Bail," she murmurs to herself, making the jump to hyperspace. Ar'iabel programs the autopilot, her head throbbing all the while. Her vision is still spotty, and while that doesn't bother her much, seeing as she can function just fine without vision. It's the fact that she's light-headed, the inhumane incarceration of the Empire doesn't help much.

The Jedi hopes she can hold on to her conscious thought long enough to at the very least jump out of hyperspace. It's only a few moments later that her eyes begin to hurt so badly that she clenches them shut.

"C'mon, c'mon. You can do this Keen, you've been through worse, of course you always had your men with you, but it's fine with the Force's help, you'll be fine."

She launches the shuttle from hyperspace, and it's only mere moments later that Master Quinara succumbs to unconsciousness.

She opens her eyes to find her Padawan standing before her.

"Master Quinara," he greets.

"Qui-Gon?"

"Don't worry, Master, you aren't dead, but, we have much to tell you." Keen turns to find many Jedi long since dead standing around her.

"What's wrong?"

Jedi Master Mace Windu steps forward. "Well, Keen, as I'm sure you've realized, Obi-Wan isn't able to train the young Skywalker, but, there is the possibility of another, just as strong as he. With training, the girl could be the Chosen One, who will bring balance to the Force."

"So, all this flashy showmanship to inform me that I need to take on a new Padawan? It wasn't necessary, as I was already considering, thinking, and meditating on this decision, which you all already know. Is this you, casting your vote into the pile of take a new Padawan?"

Master Gormo steps forward in place of Mace. "This is us, using our knowledge and connection to the Force, advising you on an important matter."

"I understand, Master, and I will take the Princess as my apprentice, you all have just convinced me."

The collection of the Jedi of old begin to fade from her sight.

***

Keen slowly blinks her eyes open, a blurry figure draped in the colours of the Alderannian viceroy. "Bail?" she questions quietly.

"Ah, Master Quinara, great to know you're still with us. Do you want to tell me what happened?"

"Vader," comes her simple response. "Thank you for saving me."

"Of course, old friend. When you are ready, there are some people I want you to meet," the viceroy tells her, standing to leave.

"Actually, Bail, there is a matter of great importance I must discuss with you," the Jedi calls, sitting up in the bed, ready to stand.

The Alderannian senator strolls back to the Jedi, pushing her gently back down to the bed. "Whatever it is, it can wait until you're well."

Ar'iabel concedes to the senator, "Fine, just one thing. Please, find a way to contact the Ghost, and inform them that I'm alive, and I'm safe."

Bail nods, as he leaves the room.

The Alderannian viceroy refuses to allow her to leave the med-wing of the palace for days, wanting to be sure of her health. By the third day, she's ready to impale the med-droid looking after her, but somehow managed not too.

Almost five days after escaping the Imperial Destroyer, the med-droid finally grants her a clean bill of health, and the Jedi, back in her robes, leaves the med-bay with Bail Organa. She's practically bouncing on her toes, having gotten antsy to check in with the Ghost, and talk to the viceroy about her plan for a new Padawan.

"Bail, I know you wanted to introduce me to someone, but, I request the chance to contact the Ghost before, if you believe that will be alright."

"Of course, I'm sure you're anxious to return to your crew."

"Jedi don't get anxious, viceroy," is Keen's response, as Bail leads to an empty bedchamber.

"If you want, while you remain here, you may use this room. Better than the med-bay anyway."

"Anything is better than the med-bay," she responds, moving to a communicator. "I'm assuming this is on a secure line?"

The Alderannian senator nods, shutting the door as he leaves. The Jedi takes no time contacting the Ghost.

"Hello, Ghost, do you read me?"

"Keen, you don't know how happy I are to hear your voice. Fulcrum informed me that you were alive, but injured. Are you all right?"

"Never better, are the others there?"

"Yeah, I'll call them to the cockpit, give me a few seconds."

"Of course," Keen responds, a smile on her face for the first time in five days. She sits expectantly, waiting.

"Keen?" Ezra's voice comes over the comm.

"Ez, hey kid, how are you?"

"Better, thanks."

Before Keen can say anything else, Kanan says, "I think we're all a little better after hearing your voice."

The Jedi smiles, "You flatter me." Just as she says the words, the door to the room slides open once more, the Alderannian viceroy leaning against the doorframe. "Alright, guys, I've gotta go, I will be in contact as soon as I can." Ar'iabel doesn't wait for a response from the Ghost, severing the connection.

"Is everyone alright?" Bail asks, as the Jedi glides past him.

"Just peachy. I'm antsy to get back, but I really must speak with you Bail."

"And I you, Keen." The viceroy sighs, "It's about Leia." The Jedi whips her head, looking up at Bail. "I believe you should begin her training, just to be safe. She has shown signs of being Force-sensitive."

"I was planning on asking if it would be alright to take your daughter as my Padawan, but, it seems as though the Force made that decision for us." It suddenly clicks in Keen's brain as they turn down another long corridor. "So, who am I going to meet?"

"Some friends of mine."

"Great," the Jedi rolls her eyes, "That's not cryptic at all."

The senator doesn't respond, leading her deeper into the Alderannian palace. They descend staircase after staircase, "Bail, please tell me you aren't taking me to your basement to kill me."

The senator looks at her out of the corner of her eyes, "Why would I kill you after everything I just went through to save you?"

Master Quinara considers that for a moment, before conceding with a nod, "Good point."

Finally, they arrive at an old stone door at the base of the staircase. The viceroy turns the doorknob, gesturing the Jedi in before him.

The room is old, made of stone. There are some old boxes stacked in one corner of the room,and hanging from the back wall of the room is a flag with a star bird on it. The most noticeable part of the room, though, are the holograms, three of them.

Two of the figures the Jedi recognizes, but one she does not. Viceroy Organa looks at her, sweeping his arm in a gesture to indicate the other three.

"Jedi Master Quinara, meet the Rebel Alliance High Command. I'm sure you remember Mon Mothma, and Ahsoka Tano. That is Commander Jun Sato."

The Jedi's eyes are wide, a smile on her face. "I had heard the rumours of a wide scale Rebellion, and I had assumed you were a member, Bail." Ar'iabel turns to the holograms. "'Soka, you have no idea how happy I am to know you're alive."

The Togruta smiles back to the Jedi, "When Captain Syndulla informed me that you were alive, and still fighting, I was the happiest I have been in years."

"So, why exactly am I meeting you all?"

"We merely wanted to loop you in, seeing as you are the last member of the Jedi Council still alive. If necessary, we may call on you for assistance," Commander Sato informs her.

"Of course," Keen nods, "I'd be happy to help you bring peace back to the Galaxy."

"This is all we have to discuss at the moment, although we may have Fulcrum contact you in the future," Mon Mothma says, gesturing to Ahsoka.

"Understood. May the Force be with you."

"And with you as well," the three rebels say, as they close down their holograms. The basement darkens, the blue light of the holograms fading.

"Bail," Ar'iabel begins.

"I understand, you must return to your team. Talk with Master's Yoda and Kenobi about training Leia."

"Of course…. Could I possibly have a ship?"

"I'll provide you a transport to meet with the Ghost, and then the ship shall return here. We can't have anything alluding to assisting the Rebellion," the Alderannian senator says, leading her back through the twisting and turning halls and staircases.

"I understand, Bail, and I thank you for your assistance. If Vader, or the Emperor ever found out that you helped me, you could be executed."

"We'll just have to be careful then, won't we?"

Dr. Sloth: I've been expecting you, Gormos. Commander Gormos: How did you do that without turning around? Dr. Sloth: Let's just say the first few people I did that to were not you.
