Capítulo 20: Ch 20 Triple A
When Ben left the corpse of the Zygerrian, he went a few more days of just walking, but it quickly got boring and he decided to run to the Zygerrian capital instead. By running at speeds impossible for normal humans, Ben reduced the time needed to arrive at his destination to just a month.
In this month, his days were rather repetitive. He would meditate until morning and then eat something he had hunted or rarely bought. After eating, he did a light stretch and then bolted off in the necessary direction.
During the day, he would run in the direction of the capital and only stop when he finds a half decent creature to fight. While fighting, he started to restrain himself and let the battle go on for as long as he felt like. But, they never exceeded half an hour.
To make up for the time he used "training his fighting instincts", Ben practiced with the Enhancement Magic book and used his magic to increase his speed for an hour. As for learning from the other magic books, they all got put on hold while he continued to refine his usage of the Force. This being because he finally realised which universe he is in. Star Wars.
He was quite excited at first, but then realised he didn't know which time he was in. Zygerrians could be anywhere from the Old Republic up to the movies. Even the stain that was the sequels. That was when he got bored and wanted to speed things up a bit.
Wanting to continue increasing his Mana now that his control has improved, he spent his nights meditating, going between Mana and Force to keep them balanced.
Like that, the month flew by and brought Ben to a busy capital city, with many Freighter Class type ships coming down from orbit, where the was a few different Cruiser Class ships that other shuttles were returning to.
That brings everything back to Ben, who is now walking through the stone streets as he witnesses what happened when you deliver high level technology to low level civilisations. He was watching as Zygerrian soldiers, and thereby slavers, pushed slaves around and treat them like shit.
Beneath his mask, Ben was sneering in distain for the Zygerrians and their uncivilised behaviour. He's not necessarily against slavery, but only when the slaves are criminals, but that isn't the way they do things and will sell anyone if its profitable.
Ben continued his way forward, deeper into the city and as he went, he gained the attraction of the soldiers and it wasn't for good purposes.
Normally, he would just kill them in some alley, but he decided to play things out and see what they have planned for him. It was likely they were planning to capture him and he wouldn't allow that, but if they don't then it could be a good way of getting to someone important without violence.
Continuing his way through the city, he got into the buyers section, where everything was more accommodating and sightly. The entire way, Ben had someone watching him. Well... There were moments he would disappear in commercial areas, but he alway appeared soon after. During this time, Ben was stealing any cash or 'Credits' he could find.
The first thing Ben did when he got to the Buyers section, was find a hotel. Which there was only one of. It was clearly high end, so he wasn't confident he would have enough, but decided to try his luck.
Entering inside in his dirty robes would be rude, so as he got close, he used the Force to repel the dirt from them and then continued inside.
The moment he entered, he stopped at the entrance, as the sight became much more expensive and he pretty much already gave up. While he was standing at the doorway, his appearance was being analysed by other guests. Based on his clothes they shouldn't necessarily look down on him, but to these people he looked like some unknown bounty hunter and if he was unknown, he wasn't worth anything.
Ignoring the stares of the other guests, Ben went straight to what looked like the front desk and without greeting the receptionist, he said. "I want a room."
The female Zygerrian at the desk looked him up and down, appraising him to see whether he was worth bothering with, but as she was doing so, she caught a glimpse of his Lightsabers and her expression immediately became disdainful.
She had a clear dislike or hatred for him now, but she didn't turn him away in that instant and instead discreetly pressed a button under the desk. This was all easily caught by Ben though, making him internally sigh as he thought to himself. 'They never take the easy route.'
Despite the uncontrolled look she was giving him, the receptionist started talking about some complications that Ben wasn't listening to. It was obvious that she was trying to buy time, so he saw no point in it. It will be a lot easier to just wait for events to unfold.
And just as he expected, not even a minute passed before he was surrounded by a bunch of guards that were carrying energy whips or shock staffs.
One of the guards stepped forward while snapping his whip off the ground and spoke with a heavy accent he couldn't place. "You are a fool to come here Jedi. You will make an excellent slave." The guard was using the universes basic language, English, but even if he used the Zygerrians language, Ben would still understand.
Ben took a deep breath to keep himself from breaking them, before he tilted his head up a bit and sighed. "You see, that was your first mistake. Because..." He started to reach for his sabers, prompting the guards to attack.
The first to attack was the guard that spoke. Without any hesitation, he swung the whip and wrapped it around Ben's neck, where sparks of electricity surged around and electrocuted him.
But, to the surprise of them all, Ben didn't stop reaching for his weapons. They weren't too worried though, as there were other energy whips heading for him, that swiftly wrapped around his arms and legs.
The electricity made Ben's body tingle, but it really wasn't enough to effect him and so, he grabbed his sabers and just before lighting them, gave a powerful pull with his arms and said. "I'm no Jedi." And with a *Vvvm*, the bright red blades burst out with ominous sparks of unstable energy surging around them.
Because of his pull, the guards that were tightly holding the whip handles of the whips on his arms, were pulled into the air and were heading toward him.
With his arms slightly crossed, Ben waited for the moment they were all within his blades reach and only then swung his arms out, sending the blades slicing through the six guards holding his arms. The blades of plasma easily sliced through the armour and flesh of the beastly Zygerrians, but there wasn't a speck of blood, as the blades cauterize the flesh they past through and left them split apart with smoke coming from them.
This all happened in the blink of an eye and in the moment later, six of their comrades had been cut in half at the waist. Their prey stood there calmly as he lowered his arms and began to turn around.
The ones holding the whips wrapped around his legs had to let go, fearing that they'd be knocked over as well. As he was turning, they could only watch as the receptionist that started all this, was lifted up into the air and her body started to twist at her midsection.
To start off, they heard her bones start grinding and then a dreadful scream of agony. Fortunately, Ben wasn't in a bad mood, so he sped up the twisting force at her midsection and turned it into a vortex that ground her entire body into a liquid.
A ball of red was all that was left when he stopped the vortex. The ball is actually the result of a Dark side move that turns a target into a ball of life energy, which can be absorbed to heal oneself immediately or later on in the battle.
For it to work, you have to be able to drain the Vitality and have an extremely high degree of control with the Force. Unfortunately, it requires a rather large amount of power to actually turn an opponent into a ball of life force, so it's not that applicable for most and would be best used as a last ditch survival attempt when injured.
Fortunately, Ben is not most, possessing enough power to do that and more. He doesn't even need to have her Vitality and just did it to scare his attackers. Because, it's always more fun when they fear you.
In the eyes of the Zygerrians, the prey that they thought would be an easy catch, suddenly turned into the vicious predator that was preparing to eat them. Their instincts told them they should flee, but their pride forces them to stay. Their 'pride' and their trembling legs.
Ben wasn't actively trying to pressure them, but all these months of fighting and killing beasts had created a natural aura to be formed around him when he's in a fight. So far, he's only ever used it on the wild beasts of this world. That now includes the Zygerrians.
"You mongrels should know when not to provoke a beast." His voice was calm, but when Ben spoke, they felt all their fur stand on end. "Let me remind you." Suddenly, Ben leaned forward and kicked off the floor, jumping straight at the guy that had initially spoke from their side.
With the short distance between them, Ben's jump had him in front of his target in an instant. That was the moment Ben swung his Lightsabers parallel to each other, slashing straight up through his armpit and out of his shoulders.
Before the guard really had a chance scream, Ben had done a backward spin kick and planted the heel of his boot in the stomach of the armless guard, sending him shooting out the entrance to the hotel.
The other guards were still too frightened to move, so Ben was able to calmly stand up straight and swipe his hand through the air, Force pushing the few remaining guards against the wall hard enough to knock them out.
All that was left was Ben himself, the other guests having left. He snorted at them for their disgraceful show and then turned around to go back to the desk. By simply dropping his sabers, they returned to his sides through the use of Force.
With another, more casual swipe, Ben pulled a fat male Zygerrian out of hiding and dropped him down behind the desk, silently waiting for him to stand up. When the fatass finally stood up, he was fearful as he heard Ben say. "Room. Now."
The fat Zygerrian was confused, but quickly started to guide him and took him to the best room they had, where Ben then threw the fat man away with the Force and entered into his temporary abode to meditate.
It might seem strange that Ben has decided to stay on this planet to this point, and it is, but not when you know that he felt a pull from the Force that kept him from leaving. Not physically, but that he felt he would miss something if he was to leave and so didn't. That and the fact that he doesn't have any star maps of the universe... He needs to grab a ship and get its navigation system.
From what he felt, the pull was stronger now that he is in the capital, but he hadn't located the origin of the pull and so decided to find someplace to meditate over it. If he could do that for a bit, he could try to track it down. Then he can just steal a ship and go without worrying.
...
A few hours went by and had narrowed it down to the Palace area. This pretty much made him lose interest upon realising this, as he had little interest in committing genocide right now.
But, what the Force wants, the Force gets. Because moments later, Ben felt a hostile group approaching his location. He would usually sigh at this point, but it was within his expectations that they would retaliate.
So, getting up from his cross legged position on the bed, he went out on to the balcony and jumped over the side with force. When he reached the highest point, he could already see the Zygerrian soldiers heading towards the hotel, so he kicked off in the air and jumped further towards their forces.
He used the Force to propel himself forwards, into the bounds of his enemies, where they have numbers superiority and will surround him. Gliding through the air, down towards someone important looking, the person then gave the others to form a circle where he would land.
Ben didn't care about this and landed in their encirclement. When he landed, he barely felt an impact and slowly walked to a halt a couple metres away from the important dude. They stared at each other in silence for a while and then Ben said. "You lot are beginning to make me mad... You wouldn't like me when I'm mad." Like a bootleg Bruce Banner...
The Zygerrian looked him up and down with disdain, before soon asking in their thick accent. "What are you doing here Jedi?"
In response to his question, Ben took a deep and audible breath, drawing attention to him before he then growled as he exhaled. As he exhaled, the air vibrated around him, the ground cracked around him and a heavy feeling washed over the soldiers. "Don't call me that... That term, 'Jedi'... It's as hypocritical as being a 'Hero' and I hate those..."
His words carried more weight that made their instincts want to submit. It was clear that if they were to call him a 'Jedi' again, he would likely kill them.
Taking a calming breath, Ben restrained himself and more calmly said. "As for what I'm doing here, now I want to speak with your leader."
The moment he spoke of their leader, their Queen, they were quick to anger as they started shouting. But, they were shut up by the important dude, who seemed to be listening to someone through an earpiece.
With a look of disgust, as if it pained him to say it, he said. "Be grateful, Jedi-scum. I have been ordered to bring you to her Majesty in the Palace." He got just enough time to finish before the world began to spin.
Ben left him just enough time to finish his sentence before cutting his head off. He was somewhat annoyed by the mongrels belligerence, so he harnessed that into rage to shoot forward and separate the head from the man's shoulders.
Then, without looking back, Ben walked past and then quickly shot off towards the Palace high in the sky. He jumped to the top of a building and started running across them with impressive speeds that made him look like a shadow passing by.
Like this, he soon arrived at the Palace. He didn't bother with any of the nobodies that were waiting around, instead just going where the Force guided him. This lead him directly to where he need to be, into a neat little throne room where a haughty looking female was sitting on her throne while surrounded by soldiers carrying blasters.
"So, you have come, Jedi..." The Queen said, before correcting it. "Or should I say... Sith!" She revealed dramatically, as she stood up and her guards prepared to fire.
Ben stared at the Queen and wasn't impressed. "Not entirely correct, but to call me a Sith is more accurate. Now, you have decided to become my enemy, so I'm offering you a choice. Submit or die."
In response to his brazen words, the Queen hissed in anger as her face distorted. "You think you have the ability!?" In the next moment, she calmed herself and looked down her nose at him. "Fool. I have you surrounded by my soldiers, you have no way out, even with your powers." She then smirked at him. "However, you are a valuable individual. You would be excellent as my new bodyguard. What says you?"
Remaining silent, Ben used the time the Queen used to speak to focus on the strong Force attraction he felt and found it coming from a room nearby.
When the Queen finished speaking, Ben was still silent for a while, as if in thought and he was, but his thoughts consisted of. 'This bitch wants to turn me into her pet, doesn't she.' Behind his mask, Ben was not pleased with her and his natural aura started leak out, intimidating the fools before him. "So, you've made your decision... Then die."
The instant he said this, the Zygerrians opened fire and didn't stop. With the great amount of them, they thought that Ben was done for, but were quickly stopped in place as they saw their shots stop before hitting him, as if they were frozen in the air.
"Fools." Ben lifted his hand while pulling it back and then abruptly pushed it forward, sending the fired shots back at his Zygerrian attackers. They were taken out by their own attacks.
With his extended hand, Ben pinched his forefinger, middle finger and thumb as he started to Force choke the Queen, along with her advisors. While they were slowly choking to death in mid-air, Ben decided to go over to where the Force wanted him to go and kicked down the door to the adjacent room.
Strolling in like he owned the place, Ben found three little girls. They were of an alien race, all with two tail like appendages coming from their heads instead of hair and their skin was a different colours, but otherwise appeared humans and like 8 or 9 year olds. They are from a race called Twi'lek and are frequently kidnapped into slavery.
Seeing them, as they cower in the corner of their cage, Ben suddenly had an epiphany about why the Force wanted him to stay so badly. But, he wanted to make sure that they were willing to accept his teachings.
He stopped choking the Queen and her advisors, for now, and started making his way to the girls as he waved his hand to rip the cage apart with the Force, while also removing the shock collars from around their necks.
Continuing to the point he was right in front of them, Ben kneeled down before them, then used a weak Force Heal as he extended his hand towards them. Lifting his other hand, he removed his mask and charmingly smile as he said.. "Don't worry, it's safe now."
The three girls heard his young voice and looked at him from their frightened huddle. When they saw his face and the shining smile he had, they felt a soothing warmth that made them feel safe.
They were shivering from fear and didn't know what was happening, but despite that, they reached for his hand as well and were helped to stand up. When they touched his hand, there was a was a mysterious force that spread through them that made them feel comfortable.
'So, they really are...' Ben thought to himself. He already had his suspicions, but now he was sure. Through the Force, he scanned them and the three girls were definitely Force sensitive.
Not caring about the girls presence, he pulled some food out of his system and gave it to them to eat.
They were marvelled by the magic from the stranger, but the fact that they were being given food was more pressing. Snatching the food from him, they ate voraciously, but then realised what they had done and their slave conditioning kicked in, making them whince and freeze, as if expecting pain.
When nothing came, no beatings, no electrocution, they hesitantly looked at him, only to see him not bothered and just smiling patiently. A sense of relief came over them and they continued to eat their food.
Ben waited until they were done and explained simply. "You three are free now, would you like to return to your parents?" He saw them become sad and tear up, leading him to conclude their parents are likely dead. "Do you know of any relatives that could take care of you? How old are you three?"
The blue skinned Twi'lek girl took it upon herself to talk to him. "We're ten years old and we were kidnapped almost one year ago." She said and then teared up, quickly being followed by the other two as she continued. "Our Mama and Papa were killed... And we have no one else..." She started sniffling and her tears streamed down her face.
Ben sighed sympathetically "Then, if you have no where to go... I will give you all an offer..." He stopped, leaving them curious about his offer as he backed up a bit, put his mask on and then said. "You three are strong in the Force. Become my apprentices and I will teach you all that I can in the next few year. You may leave at anytime when you are confident in yourselves and until then, I will guide and nurture you. But only for up to nine years. Do you accept?"
The three girls were left confused and the blue one asked. "What is the Force?"
'Should have expected this...' He thought to himself and tried to explain. "Have you ever made anything happen? Anything that you couldn't explain when you were angry or scared?" He saw their expression change and they nodded. "That was the Force. It is all around you, a power that can both give and take life, but without control, you will likely never learn of your true power. I can teach you that control. Do you accept?"
Once he'd finished his explanation, Ben watched them as they had different reactions. The blue girl looked hesitant as she tried to think of whether it was a good idea. Meanwhile, the orange girl was shy and hiding behind the blue one. As for the red one, she was radiating the dark side of the Force as she stared at the ground in thought.
The blue girl turned to her sisters, receiving a look from the orange girl that said she would leave the decision to her and a determined nod from the red girl. Blue girl turned back around to Ben and said. "We accept. Please teach us."
Grinning beneath his mask, Ben clapped his hands together and said. "Excellent! We will get better acquainted later, but for now, I have the first lesson." He then waved his hand, bringing in the Queen and her advisors.
The girls saw this and were frightened from seeing their old 'masters', but seeing them suspended in the air and looking weak, they calmed down, but were still quite nervous.
"You're first lesson will be about the dark side. About revenge and it will belong to you." He pointed at the red girl, surprising her and making her slightly more nervous as she stepped forward.
Bowing submissively, she said. "What must I do Master?" Saying this, she felt a bit sick as she thought that they would still relatively be slaves and calling someone 'master'. Her sister were feeling similar to her, but were a bit more hopeful.
But, to her and the other two's surprise, Ben raised his hand and patted the red girl on her head. "You don't have to call me 'master' if it bothers you." He gently told her and stopped stroking her head.
This left the girls looking at him gratefully, before shaking their heads. Their expressions appearing more determined and assured of their choice than before. Nodding in understanding, the red girl dedicatedly told him. "I'm ready Master." Now, the red girl looked ready and awaited further instruction.
Ben didn't stop her from calling him 'master' this time and instead stepped behind her so she was facing the Queen.
The little Twi'lek was still nervous, but staring at the Queen and her advisors, she felt hatred in her heart. Her hatred was easily sensed by Ben as he began whispering in her ear. "You hate them, don't you? Good. The Force is heavily influenced by your emotions, hate being one of the strongest. Use your anger. Let it guide you."
At his instruction, the girl began to think about how her parents were killed, orphaning her and her sisters. Then the way these beasts enslaved them, beating them when they didn't do as they were told or shocking them when they made a mistake. Her insides boiled at the memories and her hatred for the Zygerrians burned brightly in her slowly changing eyes, her irises becoming yellowish gold in colour.
A strange event was happening in front of Ben right now though, he stood and watched as a connection between the sisters appeared. Through the Force, Ben saw all three girls share their emotions, with all the anger and hatred being pulled into the red sister for her to harness.
Momentarily ignoring the phenomenon happening with them, he focused on the red sister. He gently guided her right hand up and pointed towards the Queen, then said. "Good. Now, unleash it! Push your hatred outward and let it devastate your enemies!"
As he spoke, the girl started to feel her hand and fingers tingle as blue sparks of electricity came from them. She reached out towards them of her own will and shot lightning out of her fingers, a pure form of their combined hatred.
She screamed out and finally released all their pent up emotions. Their sadness, anger and the hatred they hold, all because of these beasts in front of her. It shot out and sank into the bodies of the ones she hates, making them scream in agony from the sudden electrocution.
"Good. Gooood... Let your prey suffer for what they did to you. Release your hatred and let it all fade into a bad memory." Ben spoke softly, but his words were powerful and the girl listened to them wholeheartedly.
While tears fell from her cheeks, the girl cried out her grievances and used every bit of power she never knew she had, thoroughly frying the Zygerrians brains before passing out from exhaustion. Ben caught the girl and lifted her into a princess carry. The Queen and her advisors were finally dead, she and her sisters could finally have their peace.
Ignoring the smouldering corpses, Ben looked at the other two girls and said. "Come, we will leave this planet." Then he began walking away, while they followed behind him. They were a little shaken from seeing their sister kill their tormentors, but it also brought them peace and it was like a weight was lifted off their chests.
It seemed like a pain to navigate the Palace, so Ben went out to the balcony instead and Force glided his way to the spaceport while bringing the girls along with him, to their amazement.
He went down to the streets, as far as his leisurely glide would take him and began walking when he reached the ground. As he started walking, he chose to crush any Zygerrian soldiers he met along his way.
Although he went out of his way to obliterate the soldier, Ben didn't do the same to help the slaves. They were starting their own thing, so he doesn't need to do much anyways.
However, the girls didn't understand why he wasn't helping the slave and the orange girls decided to ask. "M-master? Why don't you help the other slaves as well."
Ben didn't stop walking as he answered. "It is not my responsibility. I came for you, simply because the Force guided me to."
"B-but, that isn't fair. They deserve to be free as well?" She innocently asked, a hint of pleading in her voice.
"That is life. Unfairness. Only the powerful decide who can be free." He stopped and turned around, still holding the red girl with one arm, he reached out with his other arm and gently placed his hand on her shoulder. "If you want to help others, you must first be able to help yourself. Understand?" Ben asked, hoping to remove any sort of self-sacrificing ideas from their heads.
Under his hand, the innocent girl nodded, but whether she actually understood him or not, Ben had no idea. He could only hope she got some of it and would think on the rest.
Removing his hand, he nodded and turned back around to continue walking. "Let's go."
Without anymore talk, they went directly to the port and Ben used his Analyse on multiple ships and checked the schematics while looking for a long distance ship. As for the other ships, he decided to be nice and used the Force ability meant for disabling droids, but with more power and taking out ships instead.
With the ships grounded, the slaves would later have a way to get off the planet. Provided they know how to pilot them that is... Even if they don't know how to fly the ships, it was the thought that counts.
After looking around some, Ben found a few that fit the bill but had their own downsides, so he was about to keep searching when he saw something out of the corner of his eye. He looked directly at it and gave his full attention, after a few second he realised what it was.
The thing he saw was looking at was a smugglers ship, but not just any smugglers ship. This ship just so happened to fit his attire, in that they were the same as Revan's. It was the Ebon Hawk.
Ben stared at the ship that should be lost to time and sarcastically wondered. 'What is this? Are there collectibles for me look for or some shit?' He inaudibly sighed and started walking towards it.
The two little Twi'leks didn't know what was going on in their new masters head and didn't think of asking. Because of the fraction of power he had shown, they came to the conclusion that he had everything under control.
Using the Force, Ben opened the airlock door and went inside with his new apprentices. He had to admit, the ship felt familiar as he easily navigated his way around and took the red sister to the ships quarters. Though, to be fair, it was just on the immediate left when you get inside and there was more on the other side of the ship. In other words, there are port and starboard quarters.
After putting the girl in one of the beds, he turned around to the other two and patted their heads. "You girls have been through a lot, so get some rest for now and I will come get you later." He then retracted his hands and went to leave, but decided to get a bunch of girls clothing from the system store and put them on the end of a bed. "Here's some clothes to get changed into. You're no longer slaves and will have proper clothes."
The two girls had tears in their eyes as they nodded, watching as he left them and finally breaking down crying once he left. They were free and have someone willing to care for them, so it was only natural that their fragile young hearts would finally let their guard down for them to grieve.
Ben heard them break down, but didn't go back to comfort them and continued to leave to check the condition of the ship. He could have went to comfort them, but didn't think it was his place as a stranger and decided to leave them to grieve.
For now, Ben wanted to make sure that the ship was actually operational. It looked fine on the outside and there wasn't a speck of dust inside... Still, he wanted to check just incase. It will only take a moment anyways.
He went around and checked that everything was working, mainly the engine, life support and the navigation system, before finally arriving at the cockpit. Getting in the pilots seat, he started flipping switches and pressing buttons, starting up the Ebon Hawk and taking off into the vast expanse of space.
As the ship left the planets atmosphere, Ben was getting ready to jump to hyperspace and casually looked at one of the Cruisers still over the planet.
From that Cruiser, Ben felt a dark presence. It wasn't dangerous, just dark. Like an evil that should have been ejected from life a long time ago and that was what Ben decided to do in that moment.
Taking his hands off the controls, Ben cracked his neck and spread his arms out. He laughed to himself darkly and then, as if he was gripping two ends of the ship, he slowly brought his hands together.
In the distance it was clear to see, as his hands got closer to each other, the massive ship started to crumple. He watched intently as explosion appeared along the exterior of the ship.
Over the span of a minute, Ben crushed the cruiser like a tin can and a mixture bloods began seeping out. To finish it off, he did a throwing movement and hurled the piece of scrap into this solar systems sun as he chuckled. 'Didn't even sweat.' With that thought, he finally put the ship into hyperdrive and put the autopilot on as he got up.
Whistling to himself, he removed his mask and hood, then stretched his muscles as he made his way to wherever the kitchen was. (Don't know where, so it's in the Cargo hold.)
...
Like every time Ben cooks, a delicious aroma spread into the air, but it was contained in the kitchen by the airtight blast doors.
When he was done with the food, he placed it on the table with three plates, then went to retrieve the girls from their room. He knocked on the door and heard shuffling behind the door, before it slid open and revealed the refreshed looking triplets. They were dressed in some of the clothes Ben left them and looked adorable.
"Pft!-" Ben had to hold a laugh as he saw the three little ladies. At the front was the blue sister, her chest puffed up as she tried to look confident and mature, but her little, serious face just made her look cute. Hiding behind the 'big sister' was the orange girl, who peeked her head out and kept shyly looking at him. As for the now awake red sister, she had slightly pursed lip as she held her left arm, while she had her head turned and she kept looking a Ben, then looked away, before looking again.
Except for the shy orange one, the way the other two tried to look confident in one way or another, it just seemed out of place. Like they were posing before the door opened.
In the case of the girls, now that everything had calmed down and they'd cried their hearts out together, they were able to appreciate the appearance of their benefactor and new master that would teach them sorcery of some kind. Seeing how handsome he really is was a surprise, but seeing how young he looked was a shock. To them, he appeared only a few years older than then and yet was extremely powerful. Though, he looks older mainly due to his height.
The blue Twi'lek came out of her shock and quickly bowed out of trained habit. "Sorry Master, we were just coming to you."
Suppressing a saddened sigh at her behaviour, Ben didn't think of blaming her and smiled instead. "It's okay. There's no need to bow, right now I'm not instructing you, so you can relax." He lightly lifted her upright with the Force and turned while gesturing for them to follow. "Anyways, I made food, so come on. I'm not sure if it will match your tastes, but it'll fill you're stomachs."
Ben started walking back to the kitchen, leaving the girls surprised by the difference between when he does and doesn't have his mask on. One seems powerful and vicious, willing to even kill everyone if needed, while the current unmasked version is kind and gentle, just like a guardian would.
As Ben's footsteps became fainter, the girls awoke from their stupor and hurried after him. They were very hungry and didn't care what it was they were given to eat, it was food regardless.
Upon reaching the cargo hold and opening the door, the girls were hit by the marvellous smell from Ben's cooking and their stomach rumbled loudly, making them embarrassed and slightly fearful. If not for the fear that had been instilled into them, they would run over and start stuffing their faces. Fortunately, Ben had given them something earlier, or they would have done so now instead.
Stepping to the side, Ben directed them in and smiled gently as he said. "It's okay, you don't have to hold back. Just go and eat until your satisfied, but be careful not to choke."
Having received permission, the three of them bolted toward the table and started picking up whatever caught their fancy, before shovelling it into their mouths with gusto.
Leaving them to fill their stomachs, Ben sat down off to the side to meditate, checking his Force guides for some info. The scene from earlier, when the connection appeared between the girls and allowed the Force to channel between the three of them.
Back when he had been training at the mountains, Ben had skimmed over something that sounded similar. Quickly finding it, he found it was something called a Force Dyad, which links two people through the Force. When these two people are working together, their abilities will be strengthened and blah, blah, blah.
In this case, it's a Triad and is probably only possible because they are triplets. The main feature is, the closer the three of them are, the stronger they'll be. So long as their bond is strong enough, no matter the distance, they can feel the presence of or even possibly communicate with each other, while drawing strength from one another.
With this discovery, Ben started to think of how would be best to train them. He had already come up with a training regimen for their bodies. One where he would use Force healing to expedite the process and have them practice all sides of the Force.
Though, when he considered what their connection did previously and that the red sister was easily influenced by the dark side, yet seemed fine now, it made him think that their connection might have been responsible. If it is, then it might be possible that they balance each other and will be unaffected by the sway of the light and dark sides, similar to himself.
If this is the case, then he might have to focus less on how to control their emotions and can let them be whatever they want. For example if one of them wants to kill people, they won't risk falling to the dark side so long as one of them is positively aligned.
He would have to test his suspicions during their training, but if all goes well, when he returns to his universe, he will be leaving three extremely powerful Force users in his wake and go down as a legend.
It was a novel idea, but would wait until the girls are in a better condition to train. So, Ben continued to meditate until they were done eating, then showed them to the med bay and did some exam to check their health, before showing them to the shower.
And while they were cleaning themselves, he reviewed the results and wasn't very happy. They were severely malnourished and have several incorrectly healed broken bones, but the worst was the red girl, who had been electrocuted a few to many a time and could be considered mentally unstable. She's not clinically insane, but could possibly go out of control is left alone for too long.
Their bodies can be fixed thanks to futuristic equipment, but the red girl will unfortunately require a lot of support while growing up.
Dragging his hand down his face, Ben muttered to himself. "Well, I'm not the best person to take care of them, but I'll give it my best shot and try to make sure they are able to make their way in the universe when I'm gone."
(Honestly, this isn't finished from my perspective, but I just want to post something. Life is kicking my ass right now and I've been struggling to write anything.
BTW, if you have some name suggestions for the girls, please tell me.
I have some, but I'm not sure.)
