"IWAN!!!" Gendry immediately passes out, the last of his strength used us for one final attack. Iwan clutches at the glass shard lodged deep in his throat, and thick blood runs down his neck and from his mouth. I try to run to his side and help him, but I suddenly feel all my muscles tense up, and I can't move.

I hold my hand out, using the Force to freeze Korre in place. I can see Iwan and Gendry laying atop each other, both dying in the court yard, but I ignore it. "I'd through with playing this game. We're leaving now!" I grab her roughly by the arm and hold my inactive lightsaber to the small of her back so she knows I am not fooling around. I then drag her back towards Xan's yacht. Or rather, it WAS Xan's yacht, but now has been re-branded as my personal starship, the [i]Ryder's Revenge[/i]. It's former owner, Xanthippe Naberrie, has been tossed out of her chair and lies in a heap next to the loading ramp.

I struggle to break free of Jude's mental control, but I can't. My body won't respond to me. I am forced to walk towards the ramp of the ship. As I go, I look down at Xan laying in the grass. "Senator..." I manage through to croak. "Help... me!"

I push Korre onto the ship, then squat down to look Naberrie in her face. "This is your fault. If you'd only done what was needed earlier, all the people who died today could have been spared... and your handmaiden would not have to suffer." With a look of contempt, I turn away, grabbing Korre once again and forcing her into one of the passenger cabins. I then lock the door so she can't escape and hurry to the cockpit.

My commlink is buzzing still. Becca Twilight is trying to contact me again. I ignore it and punch in the commands to lift the [i]Ryder's Revenge[/i] off of the grass, and I pilot it away from Organa Castle, away from the Sith Hunter base, and away from Alderaan. As I type in coordinates for Coruscant, I bring up the ships comms. "This is Jude. I have the vessel and I'm headed to your location. See you soon, [b]Hayden[/b]."
