Private Anarchy In the GA

[The Vulptex]

Taking the funnel, The girl paused, pulling out a small lighter. Struggling for a moment, she finally got it to poke inside the egg without cracking it, lighting it and letting it sit for a moment before pulling it out. "Alright, now uh....plug your nose. This is gonna get nasty."

Popping open one of the containers, the stench of pepper filled the room as The girl filled the egg with it, slowly funneling it into the egg. Next she popped open something that looked metallic, though still looking like just powder. "This is trackers. Thousands of them." She explained as she popped open the next one. Flour poured out, binding the mixture together. Next was a black powder, that the girl seemed rather extra careful in pouring. "That's cortosis. Don't get it on you. It'll make you really sick." Next was what looked like ground glass, which she explained was from a volcano. Finally, a powder that seemed to inherently smoke. "That's from Endor, though I'm not at liberty to explain it." Finally, she pulled out a small candle, putting it atop the egg, and letting it melt with the lighter she had before, letting it seal the hole made.

"There ya go, spy gadget." She smiled, looking to Braze. "You can put whatever you want in the eggshell once it's dry. This is just my preferred concoction. Give it a shot, or you can just take the one. I got a few."

Braze watched with curiosity and a hint of apprehension as the girl prepared the unusual concoction inside the eggshell. The mixture seemed like a combination of various powders and substances, some of which he recognized and others that were unfamiliar. He couldn't help but wrinkle his nose at the pungent smell of pepper that filled the room.

As the girl explained each component and its purpose, Braze listened intently, absorbing the information. He nodded when she mentioned cortosis, a substance known for its harmful effects. When she mentioned the powder from Endor and kept it a secret, he couldn't help but raise an intrigued eyebrow.

When the process was complete, and she presented him with the spy gadget, Braze looked at it with a mix of curiosity and admiration. It was an unusual creation, and he appreciated the craftsmanship involved.

"That's quite something," Braze remarked, still holding his nose to shield himself from the lingering scent of pepper. "Thank you for showing me this, and for the gift. I'll definitely give it a shot, though I might need some time to gather the right things to put inside. It's always good to learn new skills and techniques, especially in our line of work."
May be she wasn't crazy after all....

"If it keeps you alive in the future, it's worth it." She smiled. "Now come on, we got terrorists to deal with." She rushed back out of the kitchen, back the way they came. If anything, it was a sign of her swiftness. She ran practically at Olympic speeds, and never seemed to skip a step despite her tiny stature as they reached the lobby. Waiting there, another boy, wearing a large blue trench coat over what looked to be a blue version of the jedi gi, and only distinguishable by his bright red hair, smiling back at his friend.

"I see you made a friend."

"I keep good company. Where's Magician?"

"Tailing them. They're on the move now. Wizard has their location on a tracker."

The girl looked to Braze with a more serious face. "We need to move fast. You got a speeder lying around, or one we can borrow?"

​

Braze's eyes snapped open, and with a surge of Force-imbued agility, he dashed after her to maintain pace.

He halted momentarily as she engaged in conversation with another. A contemplative pause lingered, but realization dawned quickly. Familiar with the nearby provisions, he knew precisely where to procure a speeder for their use. With a decisive nod, he guided her towards the location, swiftly securing a suitable vehicle. "Here we are," he declared, exuding confidence as he leapt into the driver's seat, ready for their journey.

 

[The Vulptex]

The two looked between each other before they both shrugged, the girl and her friend hopping in and putting in a small chip into the speeder. A holomap projected out of the device, showing where they needed to go. "Easy peasy. Let's go jedi boy." The girl smiled, the other boy looking to Braze with a curious look.

"So what's being a jedi like?" he asked, his lax tone showing his somewhat counterintuitive interest in the answer that could be given.

​

Braze gazed thoughtfully at the curious boy, his expression a mix of contemplation and a hint of weariness. "Being a Jedi... it's a path filled with contrasts," he began, his voice carrying a depth that seemed to echo his experiences. "On one hand, you're surrounded by this aura of respect and expectation. People look up to you, they see you as a beacon of hope, a solver of problems. But that's just the surface."

He paused, collecting his thoughts. "You see, beneath that, there's a weight, a responsibility that's hard to describe. You're constantly exposed to the harsh realities of the galaxy – suffering, pain, death. It's everywhere, and somehow, you're expected to be the solution. But the truth is, we're not omnipotent. We can't fix every problem, and that realization can be... daunting."

Braze's eyes drifted, reflecting a distant memory. "Growing up in the Order, you're given the best education, regardless of your background. It's a privilege, but it's also a path laid out with expectations. You're trained not just in the ways of the Force, but in embodying the ideals of the Order. You're molded to be a paragon, a model Jedi."

He let out a small sigh, a hint of a smile tugging at his lips. "But it's not just about the burdens. It's about the connections you make, the lives you touch. It's a journey of self-discovery, of pushing your limits and finding your place in the galaxy."

Braze looked back at the boy, his expression softening. "So, being a Jedi? It's challenging, it's rewarding, it's frustrating, and it's fulfilling, all at the same time. It's a unique path, one that I'm still walking, still learning from every day." His gaze was steady, reflecting a sense of purpose and resolve. "And despite the challenges, I wouldn't trade it for anything."

The two looked between each other.

It wasn't often they found themselves dumbstruck, but both looked a little taken aback by the sudden speech.

The boy of course, was the first to broach the question between them.

"...how old are you again?"

​

The snowy haired youth smiled at that. " I just turned 14. " Braze chirped. " I'm trying to act like my peers though but most of them are a few years a head of me. "

 

[The Vulptex]

"Yeah, this is why I couldn't be a jedi." The boy joked, still clearly impressed. "None of us are as eloquent as you are."

"And no where near as nice." The girl mirrored as they closed in on the senate building.

As they approached, both the boy ducked under, hiding his face in the speeder well as he pulled out a mask, as well as a long red wig, that he slipped on. It wasn't much on it's own, but paired with a long red scarf he put on, it gave him a bit more of a visage.

The girl seemed to pay it no mind, eyeing Braze to do the same as she got deadly serious all of a sudden.

Instructing the padawan to park them far enough away to not be spotted, the girl seemed to already be eyeing the building ahead.

 

[Braze]

Braze acknowledged the compliments with a quiet nod, his demeanor shifting as he turned his attention to the mission ahead.

Following the plan, he expertly maneuvered the speeder to park behind a tall stone pillar. This strategic position provided them with a measure of cover, a subtle yet crucial advantage in the uncertain terrain they were about to navigate.

With a final check of their surroundings, Braze smoothly dismounted the speeder. His movements were deliberate and cautious, with a seriousness with which he approached the task at hand.

As soon as they landed, the boy, now dressed in full gear, sprinted off, silently motioning Braze to follow him.

The girl seemed to silently wave for them to go on without her, leaving her to her own devices.

As soon as Braze went to follow, the boy sprinted up to a wall, and started to freehand climb up a pillar, or at least it would seem he did. Looking down with his fox mask, he spoke through it, his voice now a more androgynous tone through the voice changer. "Try and keep up. We gotta get onto the roof of the building before they get here. Pro tip, no one looks up."

​

Braze found himself needing to keep pace with his agile companions. He called upon his Aerowalk skill, a technique that required not just physical dexterity but also a deep connection with the Force. As he focused, the air around him seemed to stir, responding to his will.

Braze concentrated on several small points around him, using them as anchors in the Force. With each step, he created a small gust of wind beneath his feet, propelling him upwards in a series of controlled, fluid motions. To an observer, it appeared as if he was ascending an invisible staircase, each step accompanied by a whisper of wind.

This semblance of flight was both exhilarating and demanding. Braze had to maintain intense concentration, balancing his physical movements with his manipulation of the Force. Each gust of wind was a delicate creation, requiring precise control to ensure he remained aloft and on course.

 

[The Vulptex]

The Fox deftly climbed up, watching with a little bit of awe behind his mask as he saw the padawan deftly follow by skipping on nothing. That, he'd have to have the boy teach them.

Once they were on the roof, they found it's mushroom like shape to be perfect to perch and watch the exterior entrance. The masked boy watched, the mask's eyes lighting up green as he scanned the crowd below that surrounded the building's exterior. They had planned for this, the interior had already been evacuated in secret, the senators and workers whisked away through the evacuation routes under the building, but no one was the made the wiser from the outside. The lights had been kept on, and so the crowd outside was just as rowdy as always. The senate building was a hub of not just politics, but political and business types schmoozing about between each other. That needed to be maintained to work. The flow of people, the crowd, it had to stay, even at the risk of lives. Else, the terrorists would realize this was a dud and run off into the lower levels.

Finally, the Vulptex's mask stopped, the sound of a camera lens sharping it's view filling the air as the boy zeroed in on his target.

"...there. That bothan. They're the one who we've been tracking. They're associates should be close by, we've got two humans and a Dug in file we're looking for. They'll be the explosive handlers."

​

Braze's had intense concentration as he scanned the crowd, his eyes darting from one person to the next. The sheer number of people was overwhelming, prompting him to close his eyes and extend his senses through the Force, seeking out the most malevolent intentions amidst the sea of emotions. After a moment, his eyes snapped open, having pinpointed a few individuals whose intentions seemed darker than the rest.

He relayed brief verbal descriptions of their attire and positions relative to the building. His hand hovered, poised as if ready to spring into action, yet he held back, his gaze shifting towards his companions, waiting for a cue or direction.

His stance was one of readiness, yet there was a clear hesitance, a wariness of acting prematurely.

 

[The Vulptex]

"....we'll need to lure them out of the crowd. Right now, they've got the advantage." The Eagle noted. "Wizard, you got any plans?"

<One. Vixen.>

Within the crowd, the girl from before roamed, silently sifting through the crowd towards her target, before finally...

HEY! The Dug called out. Thief!

The girl made a break for it through the crowd, using her small stature as a way to disappear as she booked it towards a speeder. The four terrorists seemed momentarily distracted enough to get them away from the crowd.

Now was Braze 's chance to confront them.

​

With a newfound sense of assurance, Braze turned his attention to the scattered targets within the crowd. He closed his eyes for a moment, centering himself and reaching out with the Force. The lessons from Ko Vuto echoed in his mind, reminding him that his perception and belief were key to manipulating the world around him.

As he opened his eyes, a calm determination was evident in his gaze. He extended his right hand, fingers splayed, focusing intently on the individuals he had identified as targets. One by one, they began to levitate, gently rising above the heads of the unsuspecting crowd. The onlookers gasped and murmured in surprise, their attention drawn to the spectacle unfolding above them.

Braze's control was precise and steady. There was no sign of the hesitation that once might have plagued him. The targets, now suspended in mid-air, were disoriented but unharmed, hovering several feet above the ground. This elevated position gave Braze a clear view and easier access to their gear.

With careful, deliberate movements, Braze used his right hand to manipulate the Force around each target's equipment. He deftly removed weapons, communicators, and any other gear they carried, ensuring that each item was safely and gently extracted. The objects floated towards Braze, forming a neat array beside him.

The crowd watched in awe, some with admiration, others with a hint of fear. Braze, however, remained undistracted by their reactions. His training with Ko Vuto had not only improved his technical skills but had also instilled in him a sense of calm and confidence in his abilities.

 

[The Vulptex]

"HEY!" One of the humans called out. "LET US GO!"

"Not without questioning." The boy under the mask said with a modulated voice, sounding much more gender neutral now. "Braze, bring them up here, so we can get them away from the-"

"Eagle, Vixen, this is Wizard! We've got reports from downtown! Some sort of mass break in across the banking sector."

"...sonofa-" The boy muttered, looking to Braze. "It was all a set-up. We need to move. Vixen, you handle these chucklefarks."

Braze did his best to assist in securing the individuals on the platform, ensuring their safety as they were placed there. He couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency and confusion in the air. The situation had taken an unexpected turn, and he sought to understand the circumstances.

As he followed along with the masked individual, Braze couldn't contain his questions. "So, you think it was all a distraction?" He asked, his voice reflecting his bewilderment. "Or were you fed the wrong information?"

 

[The Vulptex]

"No idea. Only one way to find out though. I hate being uninformed. Magician, can you come pick us up?"

<Already on it. ETA 1 minute. Swing around to the docking port.>

The boy suddenly shifted direction, motioning Braze to follow as they ran to the other side of the rooftop, before the Vulptex suddenly leapt off, launching a rope from his coat that latched onto the roof and allowed him to repel down. Down below, a speeder truck was waiting, painted with a strange mural on the side, one of a white fox wearing of a blue starry magician's hat. "Get in!" A woman's voice called from inside.

As the boy suddenly shifted direction and motioned for Braze to follow, Braze's instincts kicked in. He was quick to adapt to the change in plan, his training helping him remain calm and focused even in unexpected situations. Following the boy to the other side of the rooftop, Braze watched with a mix of surprise and admiration as the Vulptex leaped off, expertly rappelling down with a rope.

The sight of the waiting speeder truck, adorned with the mural of a white fox wearing a blue starry magician's hat, only added to the intrigue of the moment. Hearing the woman's voice calling from inside the truck, Braze didn't hesitate. He understood the urgency of the situation and the need for swift action.

"Right behind you!" Braze called out, his voice steady yet filled with the excitement of the unfolding adventure. He quickly made his way to the edge, preparing to follow the Vulptex's lead. Braze's agility and wind affinity helped him in safely descend to the speeder truck below.
