*Ellie gave a nod before turning back to the carnage. She closed her eyes and sank into the force, emotions from panicked civilians ran like fire around her. Blocking out these emotions, she focused her attention on more subtle details to find her targets. After a minute she found what she was looking for, a weak spark of life not far from where she was.*
*Nearby was what looked like a slab of cement from a collapsed building laying on its side. Ellie pointed at the slab with her left hand.*
"There. I can sense a weakening life force under that slab."
"Without another word she made her way down to the slab as fast as her injuries would allow. Once there she placed her hand on the slab and closed her eyes again, sinking back into the force.*
"It feels like something small. A child maybe."

*Ellie gave Crom'nen a nod. She gripped the lightsaber in her right hand and activated it, the blue blade hummed to life with a snap. Letting out a slow breath, she turned to the medic and Mazer'dura.*
"Ready?"

*Ellie broke meditation when Crom'nen nudged her. She rose from her position and followed him from the truck. When he spoke, she stood a distance behind him, her hand on the hilt of her long handled lightsaber. Once the speech was finished she walked up beside him and spoke in a low voice only he could hear.*
"They are not my Jetti (Jedi) anymore."

*Ellie, with the help of the medic. She sat across from Crom'nen and closed her eyes. Letting out a slow breath she let her body and mind relax. Slowly, her mind began to sink into the force, letting her body fall into a healing meditation. The process would be slow in her currant state and wouldn't heal all her wounds, but it would help some.*

*Ellie gave the medic a shrug.*
"I can sleep on the way. Meditating sometimes helps."
*She hurried to catch up to Crom'nen. Once beside him she spoke just loud enough for him to hear.*
"You know, there are three words in my language that start with Ash. Ash'ad, which means 'someone else." Ashi, which means 'other'." *She paused for a second before speaking again.* Or, it could mean Ash'amur, 'to die violently, as one would in battle."

*Ellie had to agree, there were more important things to be focused on then how long she was in captivity. Standing up she followed after Crom'nen, she raised and eyebrow at the name he had given her.*
"Ash? That's a new one."

Crom'nen smiled slyly. It would be easy for him to let his paranoia get the best of him, assuming that finding a Mando here after leaving Manda'lore, but his training told him she was telling the truth.Ellie Ordo. Of course it is. You know, on Ryloth, names have significance. Ellie is a common enough name, female and what you humans call "cute." Ordo is one of the most feared last names in the galaxy from your heritage. Yet it seems that neither name fits you know. Perhaps you will find a new name here. Crom'nen stood, as if satisfied with the conversation. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Worm. He turned back to speak to the girl in a low voice. Twi'lek physiology is different from that of humans. Part of the brain that governs movement and sensation lies in the lekku. When Worm's lekku was severed, he lost much of the use of the lower half of his body. Crom'nen raised his eyebrows to help indicate the significance of this comment. So long as you choose to remain here, you are safe. Crom'nen grabbed a ration bar and pressed it into her hand. This will help you replace your energy. A small, yellow Twi'lek who looked like a clerk stood nearby. Sir? What is it? Sir, uh... Spit it out.Sir, Lessu. It's been hit. From the battle. Sir, initial reports are that the Clan Council is gone.The room fell silent. *Ellie took the ration bar and gave a quick glance at Worm, thinking about what Crom'nen just said. She turned her attention to the Twi'lek that just reported to Crom'nen. Her eyes narrowed when he mentioned the battle above them. Turning her attention to Crom'nen she spoke softly and cautiously.*
"What battle? Have I been captive that long?"

Crom'nen's eyes narrowed. A Mandalorian and a Jedi? He laughed. I take it all back. You are probably more hunted than I. Forget your training. Return to your people. Live. Crom'nen's words had the taint of sarcasm on them. Your people, for their faults, do more good for the galaxy than the Jedi. He shook his head. If only they would give up this petty notion of ruling. Crom'nen intentionally left it ambiguous as to whether he mean the Mandos or the Jedi. Perhaps both.I do not know if you are trustworthy. Your people would call you a freak and destroy you. Your master would only seek to dominate you through indoctrination. You seem to have turned your back on both by your very existence. Tell me, what is it that you seek? What is the prize you hope to obtain? What do you believe to be your purpose? And what is your name while you're at it? Perhaps then I will know if I can trust you, and if Nawara'passik has anything to offer you. Worm seems to trust you, and that counts for something, but I want to see what he sees in you. Crom'nen's eyes narrowed, a look somewhere between a predator studying prey and a curator studying a potentially priceless artifact. The girl had already surprised him. He did not wish for more surprises. *Ellie stared back at Crom'nen and gave a flat statement.*
"My name is Ellie Ordo, born and raised on Mandalore, before becoming a Jedi anyways." *She narrowed her eyes and gave a searching gaze across the room.* "Before today I wanted to be a Jedi Knight. Before that, as a child, I wanted to be a bounty hunter like my parents. Now though, I'm not sure where I stand. In the time since I was captured, my life has done nothing but gone down hill. My short term goal is to discover the fate of my twin, from there..i don't know."*She folded her arms in front of her and turned her attention back to Crom'nen. Her eyes filled with a sadness and longing she hadn't felt in a long time.*
"Sometimes I wish I could return home. But I can't, not after what I've become."

*Ellie leaned back in the seat. She had heard similar words from her parents before.*
"My twin and I weren't Jedi Knights, we were Padawans. I guess you could say our rebellious behavior and determination held us back, being Mandalorian doesn't help much either. Our parents taught us a similar point of view when we were young. They were, probably still are, bounty hunters. So if anyone were to know the words you speak it would be them."
*She cast her gaze around the room for a second before turning back to Crom'nen.*
"My master taught me once the difference between right and wrong, at least in the eyes of the Jedi. My sister and I however, saw things in shades of grey."

*Ellie leaned forward in the seat once Crom'nen finished speaking. She looked the Twi'lek in the eyes and folded her hands together.*
"Unfortunatly I have to go back, but I have many, many questions for the council. Some of which, I'm sure, their not going to enjoy. *Her voice remained level as she spoke, trying hard to keep the exhaustion out of it.* "When those animals had me chained to a wall and beat me half to death with an electro staff, I had time to think. While I was thinking, I began to wonder if the Jedi code is as good as they try to teach us. I mean, we're supposed to protect the galaxy, keep peace, prevent such things. A lot of good that does if slavers fear us so little that their even willing to take Jedi as slaves."
*She leaned back into the seat, never breaking eye contact with Crom'nen.*
"Now...now my master is dead, my sister and her master are missing somewhere on this planet after freeing me. I don't even know where to begin looking for them, I can't even sense them in the force anywhere. To top that off, today I killed about two dozen beings out of pure anger for what they did to me, the exact opposite of what our code says to do. And do you know what," *Ellie leaned forward again towards Crom'nen and spoke in a slightly softer voice.* "It was satisfying. So if you think I'm going to runoff and tell everyone about this operation, then you're mistaken. I'm quite okay with you killing off as many of these savages as you possibly can."

*Ellie could feel a wide range of emotions in the force emitting from Crom'nen and Worm. She knew she wasn't welcome here by how the new Twi'lek behaved towards her. When Crom'nen beckoned for her, she closed her eyes and let out a slow breath. Cautiously and slowly she forced herself onto shakey feet. She winced some as she tried to straighten up the best she could and forced herself to walk over to the Twi'lek. Upon reaching the Twi'lek, she came to a stop in front of him and swayed a little as she fought with her injuries to stand. She looked up at Crom'nen and looked eyes with him, hers showing exhaustion and almost lifelesness from her ordeal. With a slight amount of difficulty she gave a small bow to him.*

*Ellie let out a groan and looked down towards her feet. Through her groggy vision she saw Worm standing in front of the skiff, it was then she noticed the green Twi'lek in blue robes. She turned her head towards Alema'vrei and mumbled out a question.*
"Who's..who is that?"

When the Jedi collapsed, Alema'vrei ran over to help her, just in time to hear the muttered statement. The Twi'lek medic opened her mouth to respond, but no words came, so she just sat down next to the girl and placed an arm around her shoulders.
Meanwhile, Worm slowly disembarked from the smoking skiff just in time to wave a greeting to the other skiffs arriving with their reinforcements.It's over. Collect these bodies and whatever intelligence you can get from them. Get the trucks down here to transport the bodies. Order headquarters to dispatch details to notify the families of our dead. I'll be taking a skiff and one pilot to take myself and a few of the wounded back to HQ. While soldiers scrambled to carry out his orders, the disfigured remnant of a being stared at the young girl. The medic sensed his stare and looked at him, nodding. Worm grabbed a large, yellow skinned male who was helping to load the wounded and pointed at the girl. The soldier came over to the girl, and with impressive strength, scooped her up as one did a child. The medic grabbed the lightsaber and followed to the skiff, boarding after the soldier placed the human down. Once the wounded Twi'lek were loaded, Worm also boarded, sitting in the bow. The skiff sped away to their secretive headquarters located in the under city of Kala'uun. *Ellie didn't resist being pick up or put into the skiff. Instead she closed her eyes and let her exhaustion take her. With any luck, she wouldn't wake again until they were out of the tunnels, or off planet.*

*The explosion from the grenade tossed a slaver into a wall, killing him instantly. Slowly the others began to withdraw further back into the cave to a more defensible position. Ellie clenched her jaw in anger, the turret she was using was doing nothing more then pushing the slavers into cover, not killing them. With a loud warning beep the turret signaled that it had overheated. Letting out a yell of anger, Ellie abandoned the turret and jumped off the side of the skiff. As she hit the ground she pulled out her lightsaber, the blue blade hummed to life and shone brightly in the cave. She knew in her current state it was a severe risk for what she was doing, but her anger drove her forward towards her enemies. With her remaining strength she charged the slavers, batting aside every blaster bolt that came to close.*
*She quickly closed in on the first slaver, wielding her over sized lightsaber like a broadsword, she brought it down on the slaver almost cleaving him in two length wise. Pivoting on her left foot, she swung the weapon in a broad arc that caught a Rodian across the chest. Her anger began to consume her, with each slaver she killed her mind slipped into more of a berserker state, everything within reach of her blade was quickly cut down, be it friend or foe, it didn't matter to her now.*
Worm reached out with his right hand, as if trying to stop the girl as she ran past him, but he was far too slow. While the soldiers around him stood in awe, Worm gave a simple hand gesture, ordering them to charge. They leapt from the speeder, firing as they marched forward behind the Jedi, trying to eliminate the now distracted slavers. They did not even bother trying to take them alive. *Ellie's rage drove her forward, even the aid of her allies didn't distract her from goal. With every slaver that fell her anger grew, finally after several long minutes of fighting her eyes fell on the last slaver. A male Zabrak stood before her, fear filling his eyes as raised his blaster in shaky hands. The Zabrak fired off two blaster bolts at Ellie, the first missed poorly from his hands shaking so bad, the second she easily batted out of the way. Before the slaver could get another shot out, Ellie raised her hand and grabbed the slavers throat with the force. The slaver choked for air as he was raised off the ground, in one quickly motion Ellie crushed the Zabraks windpipe and dropped him onto the floor.*
*The feeling of the Zabraks life force rushing from his body snapped Ellie back into reality. Her lightsaber slid from her hand and deactivated as it hit the floor. Ellie stared at the body of the Zabrak, her eyes widened in shock and fear. Her tired and trembling legs finally couldn't hold her anymore, slowly she sank down onto her knees and sat on her feet. She suddenly found it hard to talk when she spoke aloud to herself.*
"I, just killed somebody, out of anger."

Worm squinted through his harsh eyes. There was a coldness in his eyes that burned with rage. It was clear that he would end his life if it meant killing his enemies. He pulled himself up further, seeking to get his put his weight back on his unstable legs. Once standing upright, he began to fire in the right general direction. His aim was terrible, but he did not care. He was just sending bolts down range as quickly as he could. His constant disfigured sneer took on a certain cruelty.=Soldier= Sir, our transports have picked up the troops in the tunnels, and will be here shortly. =Worm= Not good enough. Worm shifted the rifle to his left hand, and with his good hand removed grenade and heaved it down the tunnel. *The explosion from the grenade tossed a slaver into a wall, killing him instantly. Slowly the others began to withdraw further back into the cave to a more defensible position. Ellie clenched her jaw in anger, the turret she was using was doing nothing more then pushing the slavers into cover, not killing them.

*Ellie was unaware of the danger until it hit them. The abrupt stop from the skiff hitting the pillar tossed her off her seat and onto the floor, abruptly waking her. The world swam around her as she tried to clear her head, the sound of blaster fire raining down on them didn't her clear her thoughts any either. Rolling over onto her back, she glanced over at Worm, her voice slightly groggy, she yelled over to him.*
"Wh..what's happening? I though we cleared most of these people out?"
Worm wiped some of the blood from his forehead and glanced at the delicate young woman. There are always more pests in need of extermination. When another soldier was his and died, he near fell on top of Worm. He grabbed the soldier's rifle from his side, fighting his crippled body and he drug himself up to the side of the skiff, and began to return fire. *Ellie clenched her teeth and gave a slight growl.* "Well I'm getting sick of it." *Rolling over onto her stomach, she crawled over to the nearest turret. She kept herself low and in cover as she grabbed the controls. Pivoting the turret towards the nearest target, she open fired. The turret had only pumped out a few rounds before Ellie was greeted by the sound of someone crying out in pain. Grinning in satisfaction she continued to fire, pushing their attackers back into cover.*

The driver of the skiff never even felt the shot. He was dead long before the pain was transmitted up his nervous system and into the receptors located in his "braintails." He dropped, and the skiff slowed, coasting powerlessly, before smashing into a pillar that stood in the path. The Twi'lek aboard where tossed about, including Worm, who hit his head hard enough on a crate to leave red blood trickling out over his only slightly lighter red skin. When he looked over to see a flaming hole in the soldier who had been piloting the craft, he began yelling, though still from a prone position.We are under attack! Return fire! Suppressing fire! Radio in our position! Where are our reinforcements? *Ellie was unaware of the danger until it hit them. The abrupt stop from the skiff hitting the pillar tossed her off her seat and onto the floor, abruptly waking her. The world swam around her as she tried to clear her head, the sound of blaster fire raining down on them didn't her clear her thoughts any either. Rolling over onto her back, she glanced over at Worm, her voice slightly groggy, she yelled over to him.*

*As the skiff pushed further down the tunnel, it came ever closer to danger. Ellie slept soundly, her force abilities temporally dulled by sheer exhaustion and the the events she had recently been through, was unable to sense the impending danger. Further up the tunnel a small group sat in wait for the speeder, each being armed to the teeth with what supplies they had left. They were some of the last remaining slavers who formed part of Gesh's slave operation. With Gesh dead many found themselves corned and opted for fighting rather then surrendering.*
*The cross hairs of an E-11s sniper rifle fell on the skiff as it rounded a corner into a straight stretch. Steadying himself, the sniper brought the cross hairs in line with the driver. Letting out his breath slowly, he gently pulled the trigger and let loose a bolt from the rifle straight at the driver of the skiff.*

*Ellie gave Worm a small grin.*
"Tempting, if I can stay awake that long."
*She settled some in the seat next to her sister. Her eyelids began to grow heavy and her mind began to drift off. The world darkened and sounds became more distant as she sank into sleep. As she let exhaustion finally take her for the moment, her body slowly slid sideways against her sister, her head coming to rest on her twins shoulder.*

*Ellie gave the medic a crooked grin.*
"It looks worse than it is."
*She knew that was a lie and her body told her so. Her attention turned to the skiff carrying Worm as it pulled up. Ellie almost declined the offer, but the physical pain and exhaustion protested harder then her pride. She gave Worm a nod and spoke quietly.*
"Yes, thank you."
*Ellie slowly sat down in the speeder and let out a sigh. She laid her lightsaber across her lap, her hand gripped the long handle as if she was afraid to lose it again.
