What's next?

A life far from the war torn galaxy

The couple takes you to a small wooden hut on a tree, with no sign of anyone else in the vicinity. You have given Ventress to the Wookiees, who have asked for a transport to pick them up. They carry her back to the hotel and place her under arrest until you get back, while also arranging for the deactivation and removal of the fire droids. Once inside the hut, you take seats, drink a little blue milk, introduce yourselves and Kento begins telling their story.

Kento: Our story isn't so extraordinary as you would think. We are, or rather were, Jedi, just like you are. I and Mallie met shortly before the war began, but developed a close tie right away, which developed into love over the months. She had always been the patient type, while I sought adventure. When word spread, that the Republic was going to use the Jedi as generals for the clone army, I wanted to enlist as one, while Mallie insisted, we stay out of the whole war. She had seen enough brutality earlier in her life, she wanted no part of an other war, definitely not a galaxy wide one. Sooner or later, our relationship would have been discovered, so we decided to take the initiative and chose self imposed exile, leaving the order. We got married on an outer rim world, where we were going to settle, but those planets had too many underworld influence over them, due to the distance from the core worlds. We relocated here, where we could live in peace, secrecy and isolation within these woods. Some of the Wookiees are aware of our presence, but agreed to keep it a secret, ever since our arrival we have mutually helped out each other in times of need. Such a time was, when your pale skinned friend arrived, threatening to destroy the forest. We have sensed her dark presence and went to investigate and found you. So, what were you doing in this part of Kashyyyk? Did the Jedi send you to locate us?

Lana: No, nothing of the sort! We were just having a break from the war on a holiday in a hotel, when a Wookiee came looking, asking for assistance and you can figure the rest. She's a dark apprentice of Count Dooku, who must be stopped!

Mallie: I see. So it was merely a coincidence that we met, or the will of the **** with a purpose, we are yet to understand. As much as we try to do good with the locals, we do not intend to get involved in the war, at all. You are welcome here as our guests, but that is all we can do for you.

Ranvi: We are grateful for your assistance and hospitality, and do not seek to disturb your life here!

Kento: Much appreciated. We have been isolated from galactic events for some years now... How is the war going...? Is the Republic winning, or...?

Lana: Well, it seems we are winning, in the past months, the frontline was...

Mallie (interrupting while placing her hands on her stomach): Sorry for the interruption Lana. Kento, we have agreed not to get involved in galactic events again. The less we know, the easier to keep our promise.

Kento (also placing his hand on her stomach): You are right my love, as you always are. Sorry, forget that I asked anything.

Lana: We respect your wish to live a peaceful life here. We do not want to disturb you any further, we'll contact the Wookiees to take us back to the hotel asap. Thank you for your kindness and help, without you, maybe I wouldn't be here now!

Mallie: Don't mention it! Even if we aren't officially Jedi any more, we still intend to do what's right.

Ranvi: If only we had more people like you!

After a little further talking, a Wookiee transport arrives to take you back to the hotel. You say goodbye and promise not to reveal the couple's location to anybody. When you are far away in the air, Kento turns to his wife.

Kento: Do you think they are going to keep their word?

Mallie: I sensed they were honest about their promise. Don't worry Kento, our child will be safe from everybody here!

Kento: You are right, I always worry too much... I just... You know, I just keep having that vision about a dark lord in black armour coming and taking him from us... I can't get that out of my head!

He remembers his vision once again, haunting him like a nightmare. He sees himself defending the home of his family, but he is always outmatched by a Sith lord in a black armour, whom will eventually take his son with him, after killing Kento.

Mallie: That's not the future you see, only your fear taking shape! We'll be alright, don't be afraid! The **** will protect us. It has always been our ally, it won't forsake us!

Kento (placing his hands on her stomach): You are right again love! Nobody will find us here and Galen will be having the perfect childhood! Not taken by the Jedi to be raised without emotions from a young age... When old enough, he'll have the chance to chose whether to go and become a Jedi or live a simple life. We'll make certain of it!

Mallie (kissing him): Of course we'll!

When you get back to the hotel Drek and Ranvi return to their rooms to get some rest, but you decide to pay Ventress a visit. Just to make sure she's held tight enough in her cell, before the Republic prison ship arrives, to bring her to Coruscant. The security allows you into her cell, where she's being held in a containment field, with magnetic cuffs and collars keeping her in the air and restraining her movements. She is kept in an T shape, with her arms being apart and legs kept straight together. You previously told the wardens to set her field to **** restriction, so that she couldn't use any tricks to get away. She has regained her consciousness by the time you arrive. By watching her being in captivity, you are somewhat filled with a good feeling, finally putting her where she belonged to. You have taken her lightsabers with you, to show your trophies to her face.

Lana (teasing her): Enjoying your stay in the hotel? They say this one has the best services in this sector!

Ventress: If I remember correctly, on Naboo, you were in a similar position in my cell, remember? Maybe soon our positions will be swapped!

Lana: Oh, I wouldn't bet on that! This cell suits you, you should spend some years in a similar one on Coruscant! Your staying is already booked, no need to thank me!

Ventress: Do they teach insults at the Jedi temple instead of duelling these days? Because your tongue is sharper than your blade!

Lana (pulling our her lightsabers): Hm, mine are certainly sharper than these!

Ventress: Oh, so you have taken them? Good, I won't have to go and look through half the planet to find them in the mud, just kill you and reclaim them. That will be so much easier, than the first option!

Lana: Watch whom you are mocking, you are in no position to make such statements right now!

Ventress: What, are you going to **** me or something? That wouldn't be so Jedi like!

Lana: You know, not even Master Yoda can see everything that happens in the galaxy!

Ventress: So, what are you waiting for? My back needs a scratching anyway!

Valare: What are you waiting for?! Do it! Show her who's in charge now!

Lana (thinking): Hm, Certainly I could do it... But Ranvi surely wouldn't approve that. Not to mention that's not the right thing to do, even coming here to tell her she's beaten is over the limits of the Jedi teachings.
