Private Wrong Shade

[Iris Arani]

Slaver worlds.

Iris had never been to a world like this. People in chains. Living as.. Well. Slaves. Yet, what could she do? There was nothing that came to mind. She was here to learn more on the Force, or something. She didn't pay much attention. Instead, her gaze was pulled somewhere else. There was.. Sadness on this world. The colors around her clung to blues and greys. Where was the hope? The happiness? This wouldn't do. The young girl slipped away from the group, wandering through the streets to find the perfect place. She knew what she needed to do.

The wall was blank when she found it. Bleak, empty. Like so many around her. Unseen and ignored. Iris let her bag of spray cans drop as she smiled. She could do this, at least.

Paint dripped from her fingers all over again as she stepped back from her latest mural. She was practically dripping with paint at this point herself. No care had been put into keeping clean. Only in bringing life to this desolate place. Around her slaves had stopped, whispering amongst themselves. None seemed too pleased with what was happening, but no one had the heart to tell her to stop. They cleared out the moment the building's owner stepped outside.

At first, confusion. Then a flash of red. Iris blinked in surprise at such a harsh color of emotion. Her gaze drifted to it's source, a towering Trandoshan who looked less than pleased. "What in the world do you think you're doing."

"Um, painting?" No one had had the heart thus far to explain just what was wrong with tagging things. To her, it was a way to bring color and light to those who couldn't see what she could. Yet, those colors were gone. All at once the dull greys and reds of hate and fear were all she could see. Confusion filled her gaze. Why? Her art always brought light. Why did it seem to make this person so angry? ".. I'm sorry?"

"You certainly will be if you can't pay for this." Pay for it? Money? Iris blinked, tilting her head. She never did bother figuring out currency.

"Would.. You like me to paint something else?"

For a moment the Trandoshan just stared. Then laughed. Not a nice kind of laugh, though. "I'll take that as you sayin' you don't have any money. Guess that means the collar."

Valery flicked a switch inside the cockpit of her X-wing to bring up the communications channel that she had tapped into. For some time now, she had been after a group of criminals in the outer rim who had brought a variety of Sith artifacts onto the black market, all without knowing the dangers that went alongside such a thing. ​

​

"Idiots..." she muttered as she used the comm chatter to trace their location on the surface. Valery hardly paid any attention to what they were saying exactly - she just needed to trace them, so she could hit their business. But a brief glimpse of a conversation did cause her head to tilt somewhat.​

​

"...aye, boss. She was painting the walls of the compound."​

​

"What? Did you catch her?" a voice replied, clearly somewhat confused.​

​

"She didn't even run. The little brat is ours now; might make us some credits."​

​

Valery flicked the switch back down and ended the conversation - she had heard enough and the tracking device had already pinpointed their location. It didn't surprise her that they used slaves in their work, but it only made Valery want to take them down even more. ​

​

Switching from her instruments to her controls, she quickly brought the stealthy X-wing down through the atmosphere and continued with a low altitude approach over the surface. She didn't want to be spotted, so she decided to land fairly far out and walk the rest of the way. Luckily, she was fast on foot, so it wouldn't take long before she'd reach the compound. ​

​

She had her two lightsabers attached to her hips, and her mind was focused. These criminals were going to regret their life choices today, that much was certain.​

​

​

 

[Iris Arani]

Everything went horribly, all at once. Confused and way out of her element the young Jedi found herself on the wrong end of a slaver's ire. Things she shouldn't picked up on she didn't. Instead, Iris ended up sitting in a room, hands folded in her lap, unaware she was to be processed and sold like any other slave. She hadn't been harmed, yet, but the reality of the situation was slowly settling in.

Iris reached up, touching the collar that had been put around her neck. A slave collar. It'd shock her if they wanted it to. If she tried to run. The words made sense, yet, she still couldn't wrap her mind around it. The dull colors around her seemed far more oppressive than they had been prior. Was it the world around..? No. Her colors. Leaking from her body. She stared in disbelief. The colors from her were always so bright and full of life.

"I'm scared."

She spoke aloud what she couldn't process in her head. All at once she curled in on herself, hugging her knees to her chest. People.. This wasn't right. No one at home had ever been like this. Cold, cruel. No, everyone back home was nice. They shared food with her when she forgot to eat. Always smiling, always taking care of each other. The door opened and the Trandoshan stepped in.

The smile he had was anything but kind.

"You're lucky. We can sell you for enough to cover the damages you caused."

"I didn't- Back home people loved my a-" Everything cut off as the collar around her neck activated. Pain. Violent, shocking pain. Iris immediately fell over, curling up. Writhing. Trying to get the collar off, anything. She was scared. She hurt. She didn't want to be here anymore. She wasn't listening to anything else the lizard was saying. How did this happen? Why did this happen?

This was horrible.

Chapter I: Infiltration​

Cloaked in the Force, Valery entered the slaver's compound without any trouble. Even for the skilled and trained, detecting her would be nigh impossible unless there were any Force-sensitives looking for her. But this band of thugs hardly appeared like they knew what they were doing. They used their brute strength and resources to oppress the weak, or the unfortunate.​

​

It disgusted her, but she couldn't let her feelings get in the way of the mission. Thus far, she hadn't sensed anything tainted by the Dark Side at all, so they must have shipped all artifacts out already. All she could do was gather more information for now.​

​

"Have you heard about the new catch?" one slaver asked another. Valery had been watching the two large humans for a moment now, trying to understand their place in this organization. Again, there seemed to be conversation about a woman they caught.​

​

"Yeah, the one painting the outer walls?"​

​

"Aye, Bihssk is handling her now. Poor thing." he chuckled, clearly amused because he knew how cruel the Trandoshian was, evern for their standards.​

​

Valery sighed and extended her senses again but this time, something stood out to her. It wasn't a dark side artifact. No, it was quite the opposite - she felt something akin to a bright light. But its brightness was fading, clouded by a pain that began to overwhelm the person.​

​

She frowned and began to move towards the source, only to find a building with a single entry point. She looked at the massive door for a moment while her senses noted the two presences inside. One of which she could only describe as another Jedi, and the other must be this Bihssk they were referring to earlier.​

​

She smirked and began to enact her little plan...​

​

Chapter II: Rescue​

Meanwhile, inside the room, Iris would find herself in quite the shocking situation. Whether she responded to the Lizard or not, he continued shocking her. He simply enjoyed watching her suffer. Seeing the hope in her eyes fade, and watching only pain replace it. But after a moment, he Trandoshian turned and paced through the room, his back turning towards Iris.​

​

The shocking had stopped and he began to speak again, "I almost wish we wouldn't sell you, ssssso I could keep you to mysssssself." he said with the widest grin. But in this brief pause, Iris would notice that cracks began to form in the shock collar. They expanded and grew wider, until the whole thing fell apart around her neck.​

​

Right in front of her, Valery then appeared out of thin air, her reflective orange eyes looking down at the young Padawan. The door into the building hadn't opened at all, so the Trandoshian was oblivious to what was going on. ​

​

"But, I'm afraid-" he was cut short as his large body was flung up, head-first into the ceiling by a flick of the woman's wrist. He fell back down, unconscious but still alive. She wasn't going to kill unless necessary, and as much as this Trandoshian had likely deserved it, it was too easy to spare him.​

​

"Are you alright?" Valery asked as she turned back to Iris, a caring smile on her face. With the doors closed and very little sound made, nobody outside knew what was going on. The element of surprise hadn't been lost.​

​

"I'm Master Noble, let's get you out of here." ​

 

[Iris Arani]

Why?

That was the only question that went through her mind. Iris stayed curled up on the ground, numbly gripping the collar around her neck. The shock had stopped for the moment, but why? Why did they do this? Why did this man enjoy this? Her wide eyes stared at the Trandoshan as he admitted his desire to keep the girl to himself. The burning question of why stayed in her mind. All she wanted to do was ask him. Understand.

But he'd shock her again, right? Iris didn't want to get hurt either.

Then the collar broke. Wide eyes turned down to the pieces as they clattered to the floor beside her. What was- How? Why? She didn't understand. Then a woman. Her head tilted to the side, all of this obviously too overwhelming for her to process it. The Trandoshan was promptly knocked out by nothing. No, not nothing. She saw it. Colors. A bright light from Valery Noble that seemed to bend and twist under the Jedi's will.

The Force?

Her eyes stayed on the Jedi before her. Focusing on the smile. Iris just looked afraid. But.. The colors the master gave off couldn't lie. The bright, pure light. The comfort. Shades of a blue sadness clung to her form, as well as a purple. But for the most part it was just.. Light. A color that a normal human couldn't perceive. That most couldn't. Iris only nodded, returning a frail, but relieved smile.

"Okay."

​

Valery looked at Iris and briefly smiled before she walked over to the door, bringing her ear close to listen to anything going on behind it. Faintly, she could hear people yelling in the distance, while some footsteps were closer. But nobody seemed alarmed. "Nobody knows I'm here, or that you're free," she said, turning back to look at Iris for a moment.​

​

"We have to keep it that way as long as we can."​

​

The brunette then made her way over to the unconscious body of the Trandoshan and reached down to grab his communications device. She tossed it onto the ground and crushed it underneath her boot before looking at Iris.​

​

"I'll get us out of this building and lock it behind us. He won't be able to ask for help, so we can hopefully get out without drawing attention. But just in case we do... where is your lightsaber?"​

​

 

[Iris Arani]

Nobody knows. That meant this should be easy, right? Iris only nodded again to Valery Noble 's words. Too numb from what had happened to really put her thoughts together. Grant it, the question did bring her thoughts together enough to realize something. A lightsaber. "I.. Haven't been given a lightsaber yet." Given? Made? Iris wasn't entirely sure which was the appropriate response, but that was it's own issue.

Her gaze fell to the now slumbering Trandoshan. And.. She felt sorry for him. Despite what he'd done. "Will he be okay?"

​

Valery blinked at Iris' answer - that was going to complicate things. If the girl couldn't defend herself, Valery would have to keep her close. But before she could get into that, her attention was drawn to the Trandoshan.​

​

"He'll have a headache and perhaps a concussion, but he'll be fine," she said to reassure the girl. While this wasn't the best time to think about how these slavers were doing, she could appreciate the fact that Iris didn't think lightly of injuring others. A trait that many lost in times of war.​

​

"But since you don't have a lightsaber, I'm going to need you to stay close to me, okay?" Valery turned around and made sure Iris understood. Only if she got close, the brunette would open the door and peek outside. Nobody there - perhaps this was their lucky day. ​

​

She stepped outside, followed by Iris, and then turned around to once again channel the Force. This time, she crushed and bent the metal door just enough for it to get stuck inside the frame. It was going to take a lot more than Trandoshan strength to get out of there.​

​

"Before we go, are there any other slaves here that you know of? Or anything they took from you that they're keeping elsewhere?"​

​

 

[Iris Arani]

She nodded slowly. There was little chance the young woman was going to leave Valery Noble 's side now. Still, her eyes lingered on the slaver. Truly she hoped he was alright after the hard bump on his head. Slaves? Iris blinked, turning her gaze back to the Jedi. Did they.. Was that why everything was so grey and sad here? Were people hurt like she was? The young woman gave a small nod.

She could see the colors where the others were.

It was.. Odd to see the Force used as Valery did. The colors it brought out were.. It was a color she'd never seen before, but one that was.. Peaceful? Like the light, but in motion? She chewed her inner cheek before stepping forward through the opening. "I think there's two others. In the room beside mine."

It was.. Odd to see the Force used as Valery did. The colors it brought out were.. It was a color she'd never seen before, but one that was.. Peaceful? Like the light, but in motion? She chewed her inner cheek before stepping forward through the opening. "I think there's two others. In the room beside mine."

Valery nodded her head lightly in response and looked in the direction of the room. Extending her senses, she could feel people inside so Iris was likely correct. This meant that there was no quiet way of this place. If they were to try and leave without catching anybody's attention, they'd leave behind the other slaves. ​

​

Having made her decision to free the others, Valery raised her index finger up in front of her lips and quietly began her approach towards the metal door that kept the room closed off from the outside. Faintly, the two Jedi would be able to hear voices inside, but also the occasional scream as a shock collar was activated.​

​

"Stand back," she whispered before in quick motion, her purple lightsaber ignited and swept through the locking mechanism of the door. Without any hesitation, her foot came off the ground, and with an augmented kick, she forced the door wide open. Inside, there were two people curled up on the ground with two slavers towering above them, clearly amused by the pain these slaves were in.​

​

But hearing the door slam open so suddenly caused them to turn, their eyes widened in shock as Valery was right up in their faces. With a quick strike of her elbow, one of the two men was sent crumbling down but the other reacted more swiftly than Valery anticipated, and raised a blaster pistol. A single shot was fired but with a quick deflection, the bolt was sent back through the center of his chest, killing him instantly.​

​

Meanwhile, the two slaves ran over in Iris' direction and only ducked at the sound of the blaster pistol, which echoed through the open room.​

​

Other slavers were definitely aware of a problem now.​

​

 

[Iris Arani]

Everything happened faster than she could react. The door was blown open, leaving Iris to just.. Watch. Watch as the poor slaves who'd likely been taken just as she was were tortured. As the slavers reacted to their sudden presence. As Valery Noble dispatched them both. The first was taken out with a swift kick. But it was the second that pulled a gun. Fired. For a moment fear gripped her heart. Was Valery in danger? She stepped forward just as the bolt was sent back towards it's sender.

And the figure was killed. Iris blinked. And stared. Someone was.. Killed. Dead. Gone. The sudden lack of color from the woman's body as her life expired was.. Haunting. But it was the colors around Iris that pulled her attention from it. Fear. Her wide eyes turned to the other two. Young. Children? She gulped. How common was this? After a moment she forced a smile, turning them from the dead body even as her own hands shook.

"Don't look.. We'll leave. Can.." She turned her gaze to the Jedi before nodding to the collars.

"Can you break these too?"

​

Valery quickly stepped out of the room and closed the door behind her, realizing that the lifeless body was probably the last thing these kids needed to see. But as she turned, a brief smile found her face. She noticed the way Iris was shielding the kids from what was going on, and it showed that this young Padawan could set aside her own fears to do what's right.​

​

But after hearing the question, she quickly moved over to the kids and crouched down while a single finger tapped against their collars, causing them to fall apart the same way Iris' collar had. ​

​

"That should be better. Now, stay close and-" she couldn't even finish her sentence before suddenly, an alarm went off. It was so loud that anybody within the complex would be able to hear it. This caused the two kids to panic even more than they already were, so Valery quickly turned her gaze to Iris.​

​

"What's your name?" she asked the Padawan before removing one lightsaber from her belt and holding it between them. "Do you know how to safely use one of these?"​

​

 

[Iris Arani]

The alarm went off and panic returned. If it wasn't for the fear coming from the children, Iris herself would of been completely horrified. Instead, though, she kept her gaze on Valery Noble , then to the children now that their collars were off. She reached out, setting a hand on each of their shoulders. It was then something strange happened. The light emerged from her, in her eyes at least, calming them both.

The Force reacted to her will to keep them calm. All of them calm.

With that state she turned her gaze towards the Master, blinking slowly. Her own panic faded, replaced by that calmness. The colors around her all took on that indescribable shade of light. "Iris. I.. Have never held one before." That alone should be an answer. Heck, she never held a blaster before. ".. Sorry." She gave a sheepish smile. Honestly, she wasn't going to be very helpful in getting them out. Heck, it was her own fault she was here.

​

While Valery had hoped that Iris would have been able to use a lightsaber, it didn't matter too much. She just offered a smile and looked at the two kids for a moment, "That's okay but I will need your help, Iris." she said with a tone to inspire confidence in the young Padawan.​

​

"I'm going to do whatever I can to keep us all safe, but I need you to help them. Your strength is theirs, and I need you to make sure they stay close while we try to get out. Can you do this for me?" she asked.​

​

The two kids were likely incredibly scared, and this meant they could be unpredictable. But Iris seemed to already have a calming effect on them, so she would hopefully be able to keep them close. ​

​

Valery then stood up tall again and ignited her second lightsaber in addition to the other - she was ready to get moving but up ahead, she already sensed slavers approaching. There was no way to outrun them, they would be faster than the kids. So the only way out was right through them.​

​

 

[Iris Arani]

Help? Iris blinked slowly, turning her gaze towards Valery Noble again. Then to the children. Right. Right! There was a newfound determination to the young padawan as she listened to the master. Right. The children were even more afraid of everything that was happening. They needed to be helped. Protected. Iris was quick to corral them away, keeping close to Valery yet a distance enough to stay out of her way for the coming battle.

She knew there would be a fight. As much as she didn't want there to be, as much as she didn't want anyone to die, she knew the slavers were coming. She could sense them. See the colors of red. The greys of lethal intent. Was that was the darkness was? Her lips thinned as she kept close to the children, protectively in front of them.

It was now or never.

​

"Here they come." ​

​

Valery gave the three behind her a brief warning before two slavers came around the corner, each with rifles drawn for only a single purpose - to kill whoever was attempting an escape. They no longer cared about lost credits or damages done to their compound. The Jedi and slaves were a threat they wanted to be eliminated even though most were just kids.​

​

Sadly though, they were painfully outmatched, and with three other lives on the line, Valery wasn't going to give them an inch. The second they came around the corner, she had already gathered the energy to effortlessly lift the two off the ground, and smash them in one of the many shipping containers that were scattered around the area. ​

​

They weren't dead, but their bodies were certainly broken.​

​

"Come on, go go go." Valery encouraged the others as she began to move along the side of the path, trying to keep cover and remain concealed the best she could.​

​

But seemingly out of nowhere, a high-powered bolt suddenly flashed just past Iris' face, striking the container to her side. One of the slavers had gotten his hands on a sniper, and sat on the roof of the main building. But if that wasn't bad enough, three more were approaching at ground level from that direction as well.​

​

"Iris, I need you to lead them on! I don't sense anybody up ahead, but hide if you must and wait for me. I'm going to cover your retreat against their fire!"​

​

With that, she jumped into the path of the sniper and incoming slavers, readying herself to protect the group.​

​

​

 

[Iris Arani]

This was already beyond stressful. She rushed forward after Valery Noble once the pair of slavers were brought down. She didn't spare them a glance. Dead, hurt. Didn't matter. She kept her gaze forward, made sure the kids gaze were kept forward. The calm she felt helped her process all of this easier. It kept her from freaking out. That was.. Nice. To not freak out. That was the thought going through her head as a bolt slammed into the container wall before her and all such thoughts immediately ceased.

She dropped back, her body freezing as pure fear took over. The colors around her blurred, and with her panic came the panic of the children. They clung to her as Valery defended them all. Iris was just.. Panicking. Her heart deafened her at first to the Master's voice. At first, at least. The ringing ceased after a moment, and she heard not just the Jedi. But the voices of the children. Whimpering. Scared.

Right. She wasn't alone. She swallowed back her fear as she glanced to the children. Again she reached out, hands trembling, to run through their hair. "Shh.. It's alright. We need to move.." She did her best to hide the fear in her own voice as she got back up to her feet. Again she glanced towards the Jedi, watching as Valery risked life and limb to keep them safe. This she could do. She had to.

The calming light returned. Flowing from her to the children. They were scared, all of them were scared. But they needed to move.

And move they did. Rushing forward, trying to escape. The Jedi would protect them. That's what she had to trust in.

​

Looking over her shoulder one more time to check on the others, Valery felt a sense of relief when she saw Iris leading the two kids away. They were far from safe yet, but they were moving out of the line of fire at least, which allowed Valery to advance on the slavers shooting in their direction.​

​

So as Iris took a turn with the two freed kids, she'd hear the noise of the fight behind her briefly amplifying before the sounds of echoing blasters began to disappear. One by one, the slavers were being taken out, their colors either disappearing completely or simply shifting to signify their new state of unconsciousness. But unlike before, the former seemed to be becoming the norm, as Valery found more difficulty and risk in even attempting to knock them out.​

​

However, while the sounds of the fight behind her faded, Iris would pick up on something up ahead. A figure was approaching with the same murderous intent as the other slavers, as signified by his colors but also the words leaving his mouth.​

​

"I know you're out there..." he said with hatred in his speech.​

​

The man held a powerful rifle in his hands and began to maneuver between the large cargo containers, looking for Iris and the kids. There was plenty of room to hide, but it all came with risk.​

​

 

[Iris Arani]

Iris knew nothing on guns, but she knew enough to know getting shot was lethal. She and the children had nothing to defend themselves with. No, this was bad. The voice sent a chill down her spine as she looked around for anything, anywhere, to possibly defend herself. No, not herself. The kids. She looked to them, her gaze lingering. They couldn't defend themselves. And.. She was a Jedi right? Maybe she'd be fine?

She'd hurry them over to one of the containers, behind some boxes. "Stay here, no matter what. Not until I come back. Or Master Valery." Neither seemed to like that idea. But they needed to stay. Before they could protest she reached out to gently pat their heads. "Don't worry. I'll be right back." Then she left. Eyes closed to still her own beating heart she stepped back out.

Then ran. Loudly. All to lure the man away from where the children were hiding. Valery Noble would be able to sense where they were. She already showed she could. Iris just needed to trust in her. She thumped the sides of containers as she ran, her teeth gritted in apprehension. Course, she wasn't trained for this kind of thing. Not to avoid getting found. Not in how to move quickly. Anything that might of been useful, she didn't know.

She was just a teenager running from a slaver with a gun. Or was. As she rounded a corner she was promptly met with the butt of the slaver's rifle to her jaw. Her vision swam as she hit the ground. Stunned. Pained. "Wha.." As her vision cleared, she saw the slaver. And the gun pointed at her.

"Now, do I kill ya or not, mm? Such a thing to debate.. Tell me where the others are, and I'll let ya live, mostly."

Fear gripped her heart. No, was she going to die? She didn't want to die. But.. The kids. They needed to be.. She shook her head, gulping loudly.

"Suit yourself." And the gun went off.

"Suit yourself" And the gun went off...​

​

The sound of such a high-powered rifled at close range would be deafening, and it echoing between the metal containers around them only made this worse. But regardless of the reaction it drew from Iris, the bolt never connected and the sound slowly faded out. ​

​

As Iris looked forward, Valery now stood between the girl and the shooter, her orange gaze directed at the man who had just attempted to kill the innocent young woman. While there wasn't any anger in the brunette, she certainly didn't seem happy and this translated into a more fierce demeanor. ​

​

"Go get the kids, Iris," Valery said before she began to walk towards the man, who looked at Valery with widened eyes. He hadn't even seen what happened to his earlier shot, but he knew it wasn't effective... and now someone who actually was able to defend themselves approached him. He panicked.​

​

"Drop your weapon and-" she wouldn't even be able to finish her sentence before the man fired again. With a quick sweep, the bolt was deflected up into the air, and Valery let out a soft sigh. It was going to be this way, then.​

​

With a quick and augmented dash of speed, Valery closed the distance to him and along the way, one more bolt had to be deflected. But as she reached him, the purple plasma was thrust forward, and exploded through his heart, sending the man down to the floor. ​

​

Valery briefly looked at his body and frowned - it didn't have to be this way, and this only made it worse. But she also knew there were more important things to worry about right now. So her eyes turned back around.​

​

"Iris? Are you alright?" she asked as she looked for the girl.​

​
