“Okay, people. I think we are not alone on this trip. My ship detects a huge number of cruisers roaming around the space near Shinsen. My bet these are the non-force users.” Raven says.
“Don’t worry! Our ships can throw them off. With speed, finally I can really get this bird to fly on its fullest.” EvilIvy says.
“Well then, good luck on that. I have contacted Sparky and his team about these abnormal movements around here. That’s better than finding leads and such.” Nintendo says.
“Well, let’s out it this way, these guy is going to see us. But still they cannot just fire at us. Then again, I am sure some of those troops are already land on the planet doing their things. Whatever it is, we need to find out, and fast.” EvilIvy says.
Then, the two ships charge right into the planet.
Tricky and the other HIME are helping in the Orphanage. HIME comes across a little girl who always sits under a tree, or in some corner. She rarely speaks to other people except Nako and Loking. Every time HIME tries to get close and talk to her, the girl just runs away to Nako or Loking. The other thing is that, people in the Orphanage already noticed that HIME and Nako look so much alike besides the hair style. Everyone got used to that after awhile.
Everyday is the same for everyone. They wake up; help prepare breakfast for the children. Then go wake up the children. After breakfast, they will instruct the children to clean up after themselves. Tricky takes a position as drill master. He teaches the children on how to defend themselves. He sometimes like to showoff his skills but swinging his huge sword around. The children first were cautious about him, after a little while they are all playing with him. The problem for Tricky is that the children will start pulling on his robe. That actually made him trip and fall many times. HIME just helps the children at field work alongside with Nako. The back of the orphanage is a huge farm with a huge garden beside it. Nako and HIME will go out with the children and help them sow seeds on the field. She then teaches kids how to plant flowers. When lunch time comes, Loking will start serving food with his “kitchen crew”. Loking is a very good cook and his trains some children on cooking skills. Loking and Nako also teach the children on how read and write. It seems those two’s lives are devoted to look after these children. Everynight, when everyone’s asleep, Nako will start sowing back the tears of the children’s clothing. HIME decides to help Nako because she cannot stand Nako just keep working everyday and night like that. It took HIME some time to learn sowing but at least she finally got it.
“So, why don’t you go to sleep?” Nako asks.
“Well, please don’t laugh at me but I always have nightmares these days.” HIME answers.
“Oh? You want to talk it? Don’t worry! It is between you, me, the wall, and maybe this girl sleeping on my lap. ”
“Well it is like this. I saw myself sinking. I was sinking underwater or something. Then suddenly a light came towards me. I saw a dark room. A room full of monsters. They only have one eye, but the eye is so big and it is located right in the middle of their faces!” HIME says.
“That sounds bad. How often do you have them?” Nako asks.
“Well, almost every single night? Please do not ask my why I have those. I do not even remember I have encountered people or monsters like those before. But that room did look familiar to me.” HIME explains.
“I see.” Nako says. Then suddenly the girl who sleeps on Nako’s lap starts screaming.
“Oh no. She is having a night mare again.” Nako says. Nako holds the little girl up and start smoothing her. Then, the little girl quiets down after a little while.
“What’s wrong with her? I have seen her cling on to you or Loking all day long. Does she have some issues or something? I did try to talk to her once, but she ran away as soon as she saw my lightsaber. She ran away in fear.” HIME asks.
“Well, okay. I will tell you. This girl’s name is Kurino. She is one of the unlucky ones. I mean very unlucky ones. I found her on another planet during my travels with Loking. We found her wandering around like a living dead. We then decided to bring her back to Shinsen with the others.” Nako says.
“What happened? She watched her parents got blown to bits or something? There was a war going on. This kind of thing must be common.” HIME asks.
“It is something even worse. Her father died during the war fight the force users. Her mother was killed after the war by some force users.” Nako says.
“Force users? That’s just impossible! You found her in the non-force user realm right? How did her mother got kill by a force user? No force users would cross over. Like how did you know her mother was killed by a force user?” HIME asks.
“That is what confuses me as well. We found her walking in the street. She was dragging a huge black garbage bag behind her. The garbage bag was leaking with blood. Loking and I went over and take a look. We almost did not throw up our entire breakfast once we looked into the bag.” Nako says.
“So, what was in the bag?” HIME asks.
“Her mother’s chopped up remains. Still very fresh I might add. Kurino was forced to watch her mother being mutilated in front of her eyes. She was still in shock when I found her. All she was saying was a person with a metal rob that lights comes out from both ends. Loking and I gathered that it could be a staff lightsaber. We buried Kurino’s mother and we take her back here. She still has nightmares about her watching her mother killed in front of her.” Nako explains. HIME has her eyes open wide and her jaw drops. It seems she cannot believe what Nako has told her moments ago.
“By the force, how could someone do things like this? This is not war. This is called murder! Why did the officer or whatever that bastard’s rank had to kill Kurino’s mother?” HIME asks in rage. Nako made a sign to tell HIME to quiet down.
“I do not know. I do not even want to bring up this girl’s sad memories. This is too much for her. All I know that that person forced Kurino watch how he and his men cut her mother to piece alive. I cannot forgive such an act.” Nako says as she gets all fired up. HIME put up a sign to remind Nako to keep her voice down. Kurino just keeps on sleeping.
“Sir, there are two ships landed on the planet. They are force users.” An officer informs his commander.
“WHAT! How did they know of my plans? No matter, I guess we just have to move in for the kill just like the last time.” The commander grunts as he walks towards the window.
“But sir, we have no popularity on this planet. We cannot just charge in and expect everyone to listen to our commands. That would be difficult.” The officer explains.
“Who gives a damn about popularity? All you need is an iron grip then you are in business. If they chose not to listen to me, a great model to all people, they do not earn the right to live. Remember last time? Once my lightsaber tastes blood, everyone will fall before me and listen! Spare no one! Remember, I am a great leader. I am a great model to all! Care for an object lesson to clear that moronic head of yours?” the commander says as he slaps the officer in the face. Then the commander ignites his lightsaber staff and point at the officer’s neck.
“Yes, sir, all should learn from you. I realized my mistake for doubting you. I will do my job well.” The officer begs.
“Good.” The commander says as he slices off the officer’s head.
“Opps, even great models makes mistakes too! But, I am too busy and far more important to reflect on my actions. Well, Captain, we will land a landing party on Shinsen. We will sercure a place first then move on with the invasions of Shinsen!” the commander makes an ugly smirk.
