Ask Sorry Kiddo

[Nevizkas]

It was a long-awaited reunion between the pair of misfits after a previous social, having gotten rather well acquainted in all their usual ways. But this time was different, she was different.

With all that had happened, the past two months had been a whirlwind of emotional turmoil and degradation. But amongst all the rubble and chaos, not only did she have a job to do in order to rebuild her name and legacy, but she also now had to consider the future of the one growing inside her belly. It didn't seem likely that she'd be able to provide it a good life any time soon, even with the tiny bit of money she was pulling in and putting aside for such things she would need.

All of that made the next leg of her journey even more difficult, but even as it might strain her to do so it was a task that had to be completed for her own sake. Waiting quietly outside the spaceport with a speeder bike for each of them, leather clad gears and smoking hot to boot, she waited for her partner in crime to join her.

There had been radio silence and Nova couldn't deny she had been somewhat annoyed. She had expected her to call her up after she had literally blacked out at the last social, but there had been nothing. Nova hadn't thought that something had actually happened to her, but then there had been reports of other Champions that had left her speechless.

It seemed like the fiery pureblood had almost vanished right after, but Nova had refused to believe what she had picked up was true. As her message had hit her, she had dropped everything she had been involved with and had immediately set course for the planet's spaceport, where she was supposed to meet her, dressed casually even if Cyu had been vague.

She expected a spicy reunion like they always had - and yet the moment she spotted her, despite the hot outfit, she was speechless. There was something about her demeanor that had changed massively. It took a moment for Nova to grasp what it was, how the woman she had grown so close with had such a totally different presence around her and that there was something else. "Is it true?", was all she asked as she came to a halt in front of her, a whole whirlwind of emotions swirling through her. "Cyu?".

The dreaded moment arrived and it did not disappoint as Nova Trent stood there defiantly. Of all the people in the galaxy that might understand how the pureblood ticked, it would be her chestnut lover that she'd turn to for a sense of normalcy.

Slowly, the crimson woman reached over to turn the bike off before sliding her leg over its body. Planting two feet on the ground, she then stood up to unbuckle and remove the helmet. Though mostly healed, the evidence of ample cuts and scars appeared on her face. An expression of sorrow mixed with anxiety, a burden of doubt clung to her chest as she waited for the possibility Nova would simply discard her like he had.

"It is." She said solemly knowing that she'd have disappeared in the force. Nova would be staring at her and yet couldn't see the same woman in more ways than one.

"I failed, Nova, and this is the price due."

[Nova Trent]

While judging from an outward appearance, her crimson lover almost looked like she had the last time they had gotten engaged in yet another heated encounter, there was something off about her gaze, but much more so in terms of her presence within the force and it trigger a subtle shudder that started creeping down her spine.

She was speechless as the pureblood offered her answer and for a moment, it was a wild mixture of emotions that washed over her. "Who exactly did this to you?", she wanted exactly names, answers, finally, something that would shed some light into this dark, convoluted mess of circumstances.

Amongst the wild cocktail of emotions, it was mostly anger that dominated the chestnut haired champion. While their relationship had always been intimated, it was ruled by passion, too, and Nova was everything but happy about what had happened. "Was it really you failing or did others fail you?" she wanted to know as she knew everything about how common betrayal was.

The light in her eyes was beyond faded, but that didn't mean that the woman Nova knew was entirely gone. A Sith Master, now, but a tool for others to use. But such a weapon was not unused, and those unprepared would find its edge sooner than they hoped. Those wise, would use it as it was intended, to further their own ambition and power.

"He goes by Karys’ithar iv-Kressh, or so I have heard." The name of the one who had pushed her from the ledge of power. In the realm of the Sith, it was expected that the strong dominate and destroy the weak. In her failing to defeat him, she proved herself incapable of holding that power, and thus it was stripped away.

"I underestimated him and paid the price, next time I won't." She quietly and in a way that was clear that Nova shouldn't take matters into her own hands. Walking up to her chestnut lover, Cyu placed one hand on her cheek. "I will return to my position, stronger than ever, my dear. Perhaps with you by my side."

But first, they had a mission to complete.

@LadyRen

 

[Nova Trent]

Karys. Of course she knew the name of that giant pureblood...she had met him in this club as well. But that he was also the reason for this downward spiral came as a slight surprise - hadn't they been close before? The questions didn't continue any further- everything what was left was that rage.

"Kressh?", that part was definitely new as well, but it mattered little. "Sounds like we'll have to pay this bastard a visit then". Nova was neither a woman of reason, nor of patience, but she simply didn't agree with the outcome. It was as if Cyu was dead and what remained was a shell of her former self.

And yet this woman was still inside...there were traces of the same fire, the same passion. Cyu then, however made it clear that this was up to her to fix and while Nova knew that it was almost necessary to make this right, she couldn't suppress this internally fury. Gold swirled through her gaze as she met hers again, nodding curtly.

"As if you'd need that 'perhaps'...", Nova cared little about others, but Cyu had been occupying a special place that would hardly ever been forgotten and now she was indeed quite piss. "You needed my help with something different for now, right? What is it?".

[Nevizkas]

Nova's enthusiasm brought a sharp smile to her own face, the devilishly beautiful woman was always quick to action. So, too, did her reminder of their connection bring delight to her own anguished soul. The admission was all she needed to lean in for a quick kiss before pulling back to lick her lip. "Now you've got something to think about while we work." The purebloods face was pure smirk.

Slipping back toward the speeder bikes, she intentionally swung her hips side to side, enticing her lover. Unfortunately, this next part of the mission was highly delicate and therefore strictly professional, meaning they'd have to save anything for later. But now, without the force to protect her mind, she'd be read like an open book.

And she would clearly see Cyu's feelings for her had never waned.

Once they were on the bikes and away along the expressway, they could finally unwind and enjoy the ride. A two-way communicator in their helmets ensured that they'd be able to speak during the mission, and it was during this time the pureblood explained what they were looking for.

A seven-year-old Sephi prodigy was due to finish yet another day of high school within the hour. The task was unfortunately simple, they were going to pick up the child and abduct them before anyone or any security could do anything about it. Cyu would be responsible for handling the cargo while Nova ensured her back was safe.

Or so the plan went.

[Nova Trent]

Nova reciprocated the devilish smirk the pureblood offered before she made the most out of their kiss. "It's been too long..". She had missed the crimson delight, yet it seemed like the changed woman was in dire need of action and Nova knew that before they could really move on to right those wrongs, it was one step at the time.

The passion between the two ran high as ever, even if the absence of the Force came with quite a few disadvantages. It left Nova in a state of unrest, but she kept a straight face as she climbed on the bike and let her thoughts linger on that brief exchange of desires instead.

Cyu soon began to explain what they were after and a mischievous smirk immediately crossed her lips as she was completely certain this child wasn't just a random pick. "Sounds straightforward enough. What's the plan though? What do you want with him?", Nova didn't question the job, she was simply curious. They arrived at their destination soon after and Nova climbed off the bike before she kept an eye out for a potential hiding spot. "Do we need him conscious?".

@Xorism

 

[Nevizkas]

"All going well, we simply pick him up, knock off any security and ride off into the sunset in time for mimosa's after he's sent off." Came her rather simple reply. The why though was a little more complicated, but a simple answer would have to suffice for now. "Master Ryun requested a subject." She said matter-of-factly.

Arriving at their destination, Cyu followed Nova until they arrived at a suitable hiding spot. From there, they could still spot their getaway bikes just a short distance back, while still being able to monitor the school exit. Checking her chrono, it was almost time to spring the trap.

"No, we don't." She answered Nova with a smile. "The only requirement was that they are delivered alive." This of course made the task far easier.

Right on schedule, the taller than you'd expect, Sephi boy pushed through the doors of the school and made his exit coming their way. Accompanying him was an adult male Sephi bodyguard in a dark suit. It was hard to tell from a distance whether they were armed, although it was something they would probably expect given the circumstance.

"It's showtime, baby." Cyu smiled, as the pureblood toyed with the restraints they'd use. "We don't need the tall one." She added, for good measure.

@LadyRen

 

[Nova Trent]

Nova smirked at the outline of her plan even though she knew the reality often looked a little more difficult. Cyu had done a lot for her, so helping her with this wasn't anything she'd ever question, yet the reasons for her child abduction were still somewhat mysterious.

As she did disclose whom she was doing this for, she couldn't help but quirk a brow. "Master Ryun...do you owe her or is she helping you?" she wasn't entirely sure how she felt about it as Cyu had never been anyone's lackey, but given what happened, she couldn't help but sense that anger coming up again.

"Alright. Gotcha. Alive and undetected, I might just knock them out when we're alone" a screaming kid would surely ruin their plans, so she wasn't going to take any chances.

Their target walled out a moment later and Nova wasn't surprised to spot the bodyguard close by. "Lead the way and I'll watch your back and adapt" she added quietly, briefly meeting her gaze.

@Xorism

 

[Nevizkas]

Cyutadakyr had an interesting past with Master Ryun well before her rise and disappearance. Where that was left now, well, that was anyone's guess. "She needed my help, but I have my plans." She added at the end. Even if she was at a disadvantage right now, the pureblood would never work for free.

Nodding and keeping an eye on their targets, they simply had to wait as the prize came to them.

Like a scorpion waiting for the perfect moment to strike, the Sith emerged from the shadows in unison at their respective targets with thunderous energy. An unceremonious elbow strike to the temple would knock out the little squirt before he could react, or make a loud noise. Sorry kiddo. She mused internally.

The unlucky short straw on duty wouldn't have more luck, as Nova moved in for the kill.

@LadyRen

 

[Nova Trent]

Nova smirked once again at how Cyu mentioned pursing her own plans. She always had, this couldn't be any different, so even if she owed the other Master something, it was obvious that there was much more to it, so the faster they'd get this shit done, the better.

Nowa moved in sync with the pureblood, the devious duo looking all inconspicuous until Cyu knocked out the Sephi and had the Force coiled around the guard's neck at the same time. While the choking guard reached for his belt, he didn't even come as far as the chestnut devil already had his other hand tightly held in hers and the neck snapped a moment later.

Wide-eyed, the guard landed with an unceremonious thud before the champion quickly grabbed his legs and started dragging the tall man into the bushes. Her gloved hands left no trace of her, yet the mysterious death would possibe raise some questions that would stir up a little chaos, but only after the two of them would be long gone.

"Let's get out of here" she said to her crimson delight as she offered to carry the child, knowing the Force was still on her side.

@Xorism

 

[Nevizkas]

No sooner had she smacked the crap out of the spoiled lil genius, did Nova seal the deal by smiting his bodyguard into the afterlife. She learned two things from this encounter. One, they were pretty good at this sort of business. Two, she really had missed her chestnut dearly.

"Say less." She agreed, nodding and offloading the Sephi character to her. Once they were back on the bikes and away from the scene of the crime, Nevi could hardly contain her smile inside the masked captivity. Not long after their get away, would they find the unmarked shuttle prepped to take custody of their prize as it would departed for somewhere no doubt gritty.

Turning to face Nova after a clean job well done, the pureblood removed her helmet with a grin. "I don't have any money to pay you, surely there's another way?" She couldn't help but overplay the trope, confident of the impending indulgence.
