Old and new acquaintances

The Wookiee takes you to his small shuttle, then deep into the forest. He drops you all off at the middle of the woods, saying, that this is the place he last saw the girl. He flies away, promising to bring in reinforcements from nearby villages, but the hotel was the closest place with anybody who could help. The three of you doesn't sense the presence of anybody, but truth be told, there is a disturbance in the **** nearby. Drek tries scanning the area, and finds a place with oddly high metallic concentration. The dense wildlife of the forest makes it impossible to use bioscan to find the one you are looking for. You walk to the coordinates Drek saw in his scanner and find hundreds of metal boxes laying everywhere on the ground. Examining one of them, Drek finds the following:

Drek: They are some kind of droids, but all of them are deactivated for now. My scanner shows they have an extremely high amount of flammable liquids inside them. Way too much for them to be used to run the droids. Something is odd about them...

Ranvi: If their content isn't used to run the droids and it's highly flammable... In the middle of a densely wooded forest... It means...!

Lana: They want to set the forest ablaze!

Drek: They appear to be controlled remotely, but the signal must be coming from nearby, the communicator of these droids aren't too high tech. Not surprising if you consider they were sent here to be exploded...

Ranvi: We must find the one who wants to activate them! If not, the whole planet might burn down!

Drek: I'm trying to override the controls, but it might take some time... Maybe you two could find that girl in the meantime.

You and Ranvi go and check two different directions, leaving Drek to keep trying to slice the droid's main frame.

When you have wondered away far enough to be out of hearing range, you sense somebody's presence nearby. You have felt it before, but can't say for sure who it is.

Lana (saying out loud): Whoever you are, I know you are out there. Come and state your business! Surrender, and you will be treated honourably!

No answer comes, but the presence is still nearby. You make a few more steps, then sense somebody is right above you. You roll forward just seconds before your would be assassin lands just where you were standing, stabbing her lightsaber into the earth, instead of you. You ignite your lightsabers too and turn towards your attacker. You recognise her now, it's Ventress!

Ventress: Nice moves Jedi! Seems it will take more than just one strike to take you down!

Lana: Ventress! You again?! On Naboo you might have slipped away, but I'll get you this time! I'll repeat myself, surrender and you will be treated honourably!

Ventress: Don't make me laugh! As if you had any chance against me! Last time I left you alone to be tortured by machines, I won't make the same mistake twice! This time, I'll do the job myself before ending your suffering for good!

Lana: Ventress, I know you are from Dathomir... My friend here in this forest is also one of your kind, she's your sister! You don't have to do this, you could lay down your arms and seek redemption at the Jedi Order! The masters would...!

Ventress: Can't you just shut up already?! I came here to kill you, not to talk about my feelings! You are going to die with the rest of this planet!

Lana: Why put all of this place to the torch?

Ventress (attacking you with both her lightsabers): As if I would just tell you! Argh!

The two of you engage in a duel, with four lightsabers constantly clashing with each other. You are attempting to attack her from all possible angles to find an opening, but her guard is pretty well founded. You didn't bring your armour into this fight, instead of an almost impregnable defence and extra tricks, you must rely on your agility to get the better of her. You are exchanging slashes after slasher, thrusts after thrusts, but all seems pretty balanced. At a moment of misstep, she steps on a smaller rock, slipping backwards, you saw the opening, but didn't strike. Had you done so, you might have killed her. But all of a sudden, you realized what you have just told her earlier... She is like Ranvi's sister... You can't kill her like that. What would she say...? Laying in the mud, realizing you are showing her mercy, all you have accomplished was to anger her. She cries out and jumps from the ground onto one of the branches on a tree.

Ventress (pointing her lightsaber at you): You weak fool! How dare you look down on me like that?! I have the power to end this whole planet in the blink of an eye! Here, I push this little button on my waist and my droids will fly in all directions and set everything ablaze! You will be powerless to stop it!

Lana: If you are capable of doing that, why hesitate? You could have done that way before I found you.

Ventress: I just needed enough time for my transport to arrive, which is, luckily nearby! So, say goodbye to all this wilderness!

Lana (as she presses the button): No! Don't...!

Ventress: I was hoping I could end you myself, but seems the fire must do the job! A pity!

Ventress (a few seconds later): Wait, something is wrong... Where are my droids...?!

Drek (on your comlink): I managed to override the droid command panel, are you two doing fine? Any news of that mysterious girl?

Lana: Good job Drek! I found her, it's Ventress, she attacked me and now she's trying to escape!

Ranvi: Hold on, we are on our way!

Ventress: Pitiful Jedi, you won't last long enough to ever see your friends again!

She connects both hilts of her sabers, creating a dual saber. Wanting to end the duel, you jump next to her on the branch above and continue the melee combat. She makes numerous spins and backflips during your back and forth fighting. The fight is interrupted by the Wookiee who called you here, his shuttle flies next to you, bringing in a group of Wookiee reinforcements, who open fire on Ventress from their above. She disconnects her lightsabers, throwing one of them at the shuttle, while defending herself from the shots with the other. You wanted to keep attacking her, but she kept deflecting the shots at you, instead of the Wookiees. Her thrown saber damages the shuttle engines, sending them crushing down onto the forest floor. Within the last seconds, you grab the ship with the ****, to prevent their crush, saving all the Wookiees aboard, by safely putting them down onto the ground. A new ship appears as you do so, this time, it comes for Ventress. She cuts the branch under you two, before making a jump onto her rescuer. You too jump off of it, onto the ground, while observing the Nightsister making her escape. As a parting gift, she throws her saber again, cutting one of the gigantic trees, to fall right onto you and the Wookiees, who are struggling to get out of their damaged ship. You were thinking about jumping out of the tree's way, but it would have crushed the Wookiees to **** instantly. Lifting your hands above your head, you give in all the power you have to stop the tree from killing you all. Slowly, but you manage to hold it at bay, with a great deal of effort. It's so heavy, that you can't even move, while holding it with the ****.

Ventress (with an evil smile on her shuttle): You don't just die easily, do you? Let's see what we can do about that...

She deactivates her lightsabers, putting them away, then presses her index and thumb fingers together on her right hand. Momentarily, you feel a bit of a pressure on your right nipple, as if somebody was holding it with their fingers. For a moment, your surprise breaks your concentration, allowing the tree to fall a few meters, before you take hold of it again.

Lana (confused): What have you done to me?!

Ventress (applying more pressure with her fingers): Oh, that?

Lana (feeling her nipple pressed harder): Auch! What sorcery is this?!

Ventress: Just a little something I invented during my lone time, I call it **** stimulation. I hope you like that feeling, because that will be the last thing you feel before being flattened by a few thousand tons of weight!

Lana: Not going to happen...!

Ventress: We shall see!

She turns her fingers in a 90 degree angle, twisting your nipple with it. It causes a sharp pain on your right breast, you wanted to cry out, but pressing your teeth together, you make no sound of pain, but the tree feels more and more heavy as time passes. You don't know how long you may be able to keep this stalemate up. All the while, she is eagerly watching your struggle with a wide grin on her face.

Pilot (to Ventress): My lady, we should get going, the more time we spend here, the higher the risk of somebody finding out about us!

Ventress: Hush you miserable fool, let me enjoy every moment of my triumph! She won't last for long, fear not!

To speed up the process, she makes an other swift twist, adding an other 90 degree twist. This time, you can't keep things quiet though. You collapse onto one of your knees, while the tree falls a further few meters.

Lana (in pain): Aaaah, you daughter of a Hutt! I'll make you pay dearly for this...!

Ventress: If I'll be made to pay, let's make it double, what do you say?

She lifts her other hand and makes a similar 180 degree twist on your left nipple too, via the ****. Not expecting such a level of pain, you collapse onto both your knees this time, crying out all sorts of curses. Every similar act she does brings you closer to your doom, as you can barely hold the tree like that now.

Lana (crying out angrily): You schutta...! May a Rancor make impregnate you...!

Ventress: Tch, tch, tch... Such words don't really fit a Jedi now, do they? You appear to be on the edge of collapse, I wonder, what will happen if I go a little further...?

Lana (thinking): Oh no, this is bad...! If she keeps this up, I won't be able to hold that stupid tree from crushing me! I must find a way out of this!

She keeps turning both her hands a little further, making you feel as if your nipples were about to be torn off. The only relief you get is to see the Wookiees safely getting out of their ship and making it out from under the collapsing tree. Now, only you remain, but you can't move an inch without dying in that instant...

Ventress (having fun while torturing you): I knew you would be such fun, the moment I saw you on Naboo! To tell the truth, I always wondered, would anybody's nipple fall off if they were turned in a whole 360 degrees...?

Lana (struggling): No...! You... can't...do that...!

Ventress (slowly turning her hands further until a whole turn is reached): Oh, but I think I can!

Lana (on the breaking point, with tears in your eyes): Alright, alright, I give up...! Enough...!

Ventress: Begging for mercy now? How pitiful...! I thought Jedi wouldn't give their pride up so easily! Maybe if you beg me hard enough, I might just let you go, who knows...?

Lana: Please, have mercy...! You won!

Ventress (applying more pressure as she holds still): Letting you go or torturing you further for my joy... Hmm... Decisions, decisions...

Lana: Please...! No more, please...!

Ventress (as she slowly restarts twisting them): Hmm, not a bad start, but not good enough either... Maybe if we made a second whole twist on both of them, that would make you beg hard enough!

Lana (crying): NO, NO! Please...! My nipples can't take any more...! Definitely not an other whole twist...! I beg of you...! I'll do anything, just stop this...!

Ventress (as she keeps twisting): Nah, today I'm not in a mood of letting my prey get away. Not your lucky day I guess!

Lana (in pain): Aaaah...!

? (dropping onto Ventress's ship behind her, from a branch above): Sorry to interrupt, but this isn't your lucky day either, lady!

Ventress (stopping the harassment of your nipples and turning around): What the...?

Your nipples are finally relieved from the constant pressure, though they still hurt after what was done to them. Now you are able to hold the tree at bay without crushing you, but you still can't leave your spot.

Man (igniting his lightsaber): I assume stabbing this into your ship, would ground it pretty fast. Let's see if I'm right.

Ventress (igniting her lightsabers): No, don't!

The mysterious man stabs his lightsaber under him, right into the top of Ventress's ship. It destabilizes the ship, which begins falling rapidly. He and Ventress jumps off, before it crushes into the ground with an explosion.

Man: I guess I was right.

Ventress: Damned Jedi! That was my transport off of this rock! Now, I'll have your head for this!

Man: You are welcome to try, dark lady!

They start duelling on top of the tress, while a woman rushes next to you, offering her help.

Woman: Let me help you with that!

Lana: Who are you? And who is he...?

Woman: We are friends, not enemies.

She helps you holding the tree, then tossing it away from over you two. You spot her lightsaber at her side and the other unknown person, who's also wielding a lightsaber to fight Ventress.

Lana: So who are you people? You look like Jedi, did the order send you to help us here? How did they get the intel so quickly?

Mallie: My name is Mallie. We will have time to talk later, for now, I'll help my husband.

Lana (as she jumps onto the trees the man and Ventress are fighting on): Yeah, of course... Wait, what, husband?!

The pair swiftly overcomes Ventress, knocking both of her lightsabers out of her hands, one after an other. They fall off into the mud, where you find and collect them, while observing the fight above. Ventress is cornered against a tree, without her lightsabers and the man's lightsaber pointed at her throat.

Man: Surrender, there is no need to die here!

Ventress: As if I would to a Jedi! Finish this already!

Mallie: Don't throw your life away so easily! Don't you have any loved ones, that would miss you?

Ventress (after thinking for a second): Don't get me started with your emotional babbling! Kill me, capture me, whatever you want, just do it!

Man: I won't kill an unarmed opponent...

Ventress: And I won't be walking by your side willingly, just to...!

She is interrupted by a stun shot, fired by one of the Wookiees, you have just saved earlier.He is roaring proudly.

Lana: Yes, I too think she deserved it! Don't worry, she will spend the rest of her days in captivity on Coruscant or Belsavis! Or worse!

Man (putting his lightsaber away): That'll take care of that. Are you alright Mallie?

Mallie: Yes, not a scratch, don't worry so much!

They take the **** Ventress off the tree, to you, when Drek and Ranvi arrive.

Ranvi: Lana! Are you alright?

Lana: Yeah, everything is fine!

Ranvi: Glad to hear it! Oh, Ventress! Is she...?

Mallie: No, she's alive, just stunned. Not a friend of yours I presume.

Drek: Yes, something like that.

Lana: Calling her "not our friend", is a grave understatement!

Mallie (smiling): Forgive my ignorance, we haven't been up to date with intergalactic politics for some time now!

Drek: Who are you people anyway?

Kento: Name is Kento Marek. This is my wife, Mallie. We can explain everything in our hut, if you have any further questions, but first, we better get out of here.

Lana (thinking): Married Jedi... That's not something you see every day... I wonder what their story might be.

Lana: Of course, lead the way!
