[MOC] Battle of Kastria 5: The Market

[IGUNNUK33LU]

PART V: THE MARKET

As the new Inquisitor takes control of Imperial forces on Kastria, the rebels realize they need public opinion on their side,

so they travel to a place where they could find a long range comm system: the market...

As the rebel group consisting of Commander Farr, Minister Undelan, and Dail Nalyd entered the market, Nalyd felt something. He turned around to see a cloaked figure approaching him.

"Hello, Dail," the hooded figure said to the Jedi. Dail looked and immediately recognized the figure as his apprentice. "Kyr, I'm so glad you could make it. Have you been practicing like I told you? You're going to need it in the coming weeks."

"Yes, master. What exactly are we doing here?"

"Well, we came to buy some contraband communications equipment, but it turns out the Empire arrived before us. Hopefully they're too busy with other business. Anyways, I figured having you with us couldn't hurt. Besides, it's about time you put your practice to work."

The group approached a vendor who looked to have the supplies they needed. Undelan started to barter with the shopkeeper, while Farr stood watch in case the Imperials recognized them. 

Kyr, having kept herself indoors for several days, looked around and saw injustices perpetrated by the Imperials. She saw Imperials placing detonators on an ancient statue in the center of the overgrown plaza. She turned to her right, and saw two stormtroopers harassing a pilot. She drew her lightsaber, but before she could ignite it, Dail looked at her and put his hand over the blade to stop her from igniting it.

"What, master? We need to protect him," she pleaded.

"No, we must let it happen. Tragedies occur, and we must live with them," Dail replied.

"It's not the Jedi way, we must defend the weak!"

"No. That was the flaw with the Jedi. They did what they thought was right, without considering the consequences. If we defend him now, we expose ourselves, and then we'll die as well. We let fate take him. We must put the lives of others above his," Dail said, as if forsaking his order.

"But master, we are the Jedi! He deserves a chance to live!"

"The Jedi are gone. I brought you here to teach you the force. Sometimes the force desires death. We must let it take its course. Trust me."

After taking a long breath, she nodded disappointingly and turned to face Undelan and the shopkeeper to keep her mind off of it. She heard the sound of a blaster and looked down in anger and agony. 

Undelan shook hands with the shopkeeper and grabbed a crate full of equipment, and proceeded to walk back to the ship with his companions. All Kyr could think of was the pilot.

"Where do we go now?" Dail asked Undelan.

"The big city, where we can get our message out and hopefully blend in."

From several feet away, Kyr and Farr were talking. 

"What's the matter?" Farr asked Kyr after seeing the look on her face.

"Dail. He let an innocent pilot be killed."

"Well, I'm sorry. It's the way of war. What exactly is your story with him? Are you two... together?"

"No! Ew! He's twice my age! He's basically a father to me. When my mother died, he promised to take care of me and teach me the force. I didn't get to choose this life, or him, but I live with it."

"Well, if you ever need someone on your side when he's not, I'll be here."

"Thanks," she said softly turning to face him and then turning around to go back to business. "Let's get this done."

They all loaded in the U-Wing, and proceeded to leave and regroup with the others, and find a safe house in the capital city.

As always, comments and criticism are welcome. Also, I've gotten this a lot: I'm not going to make it a stop motion. I don't have the time, patience, or skills to do it. Sorry to those who cared.
