(POV third)
The screaming of the pirates can be heard echoing across the ships corridors as his beskar boots go up and down tapping continuously on the floor.
Willam stood there and watched as the pirates suffered he felt no joy in their suffering , he thought he would no matter how much the pirates , their captain screamed. He didn't feel the hatred go away ,die down,no he only raged more inside .
Turning around he slowly walked towards the cockpit passing bodies of pirates and crew , he slowly took in the battle damaged surroundings , the broken doors , blast marks embedded in the walls walking past this and maneuvering around the wreckage of the cockpit's door.
He sat down on the pilot's seat leaning back and looked up, The cold ceiling of durasteel welcoming him with open arms.
"Hah ha " a small sound of defeating laughter echoed out across the empty room….
(POV mc)
'I have lived for over a hundred years, In that time I ruled entire city's their economy's in the palm of my hand, killed hundreds and controlled thousands , died and was reborn, rose up from a small village of shabby thatched huts barely held together, I built a city from the ground up ,THE GROUND UP!!!, I commanded armies and killed millions , conquered city's , ruled over half of the world ,created laws and implemented a single language system…' my mind raced with everything I had done yet I was stupid , naive, I overlooked things that i would have never done before..
As I sat there in the chair my mandalorian armor barley intact I frustratedly punched my armchair.
*thud*
*metal cracking*
With a loud bang the armrest of the chair was destroyed my fist bleeding from the impact holding my broken and bleeding hand up close to my face i clenched it the bones snapping out of my fingers and palm revealing the white bone ,blood gushing out from the wound ignoring the pain I took off my helmet.
*breathe's in*
*exhales out*
Slowly without the involvement of my inventory I took off the armor stripping the metal off slowly, with every piece removed blood and flesh came with it the blaster shots of the pirates were to thank for that.
After removing the last piece of armor I felt weak collapsing into the chair i opened the inventory and got a bacta injector , putting it on my arm I pulled the trigger
*tssshhhhk*
the extremely cold sensation spread through my body i didn't care and right away walked to find a mirror after searching for a while I found Sara's room and entered
Upon stepping into the room her scent came through attacking my sense of smell this brought me into a stupor ,snapping out of it I proceeded to cry silently the tears dripping onto the floor .
'My stupidity caused her death' my mind constantly rammed this thought over and over into me, I wasn't sure anymore if this was the original owner's emotions or mine.
Several minutes went by as a puddle began to form slowly with each tear of mine , I sat there in the puddle of blood and tears till the last teardrop fell .
*drip*
*splash*
When the final tear left my body I felt something inside me leave my body , I knew what it was the original owners soul left completely leaving me full control over the body, clenching my fists I wanted to punch the soul to death but he had already went to its embrace fully.
After a small struggle I got up and proceeded to the bathroom stumbling into the bathroom I caught myself on the counter after gaining my footing i looked at myself in the mirror and i thought of a phrase that i thought was appropriate.
'I look like an avocado had sex with an older, more disgusting avocado, Not gently. Like it was hate-fucking. There was something wrong with the relationship and that was the only catharsis that they could find without violence.' That's what I look like but unlike Deadpool I look worse off maybe more like jabba and Deadpool mixed (sorry for the image you just imagined ).
I could only sigh and left the bathroom sitting on Sara's bed I clenched my fist with the wound making me feel dizzy i quickly went to the inventory and got a super stimpack(no debuff) injecting it into my body I felt relieved and quickly fell asleep…
(POV third)(kinda hate myself for some reason doing this part)
Deep inside the wellspring of life a group of beings could be seen having a conversation.
"HE MUST BE KILLED HE DOES NOT BELONG HERE!!!" A being said in anger she could be seen floating in the air wearing a face mask portraying anger
"How did he come here?" Another being spoke her voice one of confusion hands on her head she shook it , a mask on her face portraying confusion
" no he doesn't deserve it ,can you not see his soul it is full of love deep down inside, can't you see the force surround him" another spoke in a joyful tone stepping out of the shadows a mask full of joy can be seen
The one in the anger mask looked at the joyful one , saying in a rage " Do you not see the darkness that surrounds him ,that's crawling around him,LURKING IN HIS HEART!!!" She echoed to her group
"He's lost so much he only wants to rest he only wants peace do you not see his exhaustion that lies beneath" another one said revealing a mask that shows sadness
"Enough arguing let's have a vote whether or not to allow him to go back" a calm voice broke the argument between the two peaceful expression can be seen on her mask she wears
The 5 looked at each other before sadness spoke " I vote he goes back" she said in a sad tone serenity nodded.
"One in favor" serenity spoke looking at anger
"I VOTE HE DIES AND THAT WE THROW HIS BODY INTO THE SUN!" She spoke in (of course) anger .
"One against" serenity spoke calmly looking at the others who were in thought. A while went by before confusion spoke
"I vote he goes back but I wish to meet this outsider I need to know?" Her voice entering the ears of serenity she was slightly surprised but didn't show it
"Two in favor, one against your turn joy ,what do you think?" Serenity looked at joy and joy looked back
"I vote he goes back, i agree with confusion I wish to meet him" she said joyfully.
"Three in favor one against I shall now vote I choose none" serenity said in her usual peaceful voice
"In total three in favor , one against,one abstained" she said and continued before anger could interfere
"We shall meet this outsider soon enough prepare" she said looking out towards a distance she didn't hear the rest of the conversation as she drifted off thinking deeply about what it means for an outsider to be here….
(POV mc)
"Where am I" I said in confusion as I looked around the empty space looking at the scene I thought of when i first died but quickly shifted my attention towards five bright figures in the distance
I unconsciously walked there and upon seeing their masks and robes there was only one thought which I said aloud "whills"
The five looked at each other before one appeared in front of me instantly.
"Outsider!! Tell us how you got here or die!!!" I saw an angry mask inches from my eyes
Stepping back one step I calmed down and spoke "I wished for it don't be so angry" i smiled halfway through my comment
"Outsider!!! I am watching you" she said and vanished as soon as another one of the whills approached before I realized it I was in the embrace of sadness a weeping sound could be heard from her as she spoke
"You have lost so much outsider yet you still-" before she could finish I felt her grip tightening and feeling her warmth, I unconsciously relaxed , i don't know when but she disappeared.
After suddenly coming to my senses I realized I was hugged by essentially a god and i enjoyed it?!?
Before I could get my composure another one of the whills came her mask one of confusion "outsider how did you appear here?!?" she spoke I can clearly tell who this is if someone can't tell who the whills are they ain't a Star Wars fan but still i responded with a smile
"I wished for it ,confusion I know you are wondering how and I am telling the truth i wished for it" her mask was all i needed to see and after tilting her head she left as well
"Is my mind a place you guys can come and go freely in?" I spoke to serenity and joy the last two left
"Best to not answer the question" serenity spoke hearing her calm voice , looking straight at her mask I said
"Well whatever so why are you here in my head?" I asked in a polite tone as I can't fuck with god's trust me i have tried maybe that's partly why i was killed? Anyway getting rid of the random thought i looked at her waiting her response.
"You wish to go back to the past do you not" serenity looked at me as she floated there.
Hearing this brought no joy as I know exactly what kind of beings the whills are they are not going to give me a chance for free before i could speak joy the happy one came up to me
At FTL Excited and before I knew it I was picked up and was high in the air .
Panicking for several seconds I calmed down right as she spoke
"It's a joyous occasion you get to see you Sara again" her tone one of utter happiness perhaps a bit too much smiling at this happy go lucky being i talked
"Yes a joyous occasion indeed thank you for allowing me now I know it isn't free what's the price" I said joy paused and slowly put me down not as happy seeing this i spoke trying to comfort this god
"Sorry joy i am very happy but i know a price is required and that is why i am hesitant i didn't mean to spoil the happy moment" I apologized and said .
Joy looked at me and nodded
"Thank you for the apology goodbye outsider" after saying this she vanished
I then looked at serenity she looked at me
"Indeed there is a price we wish to use your gift for a while" her calm voice entered my ears
"*sigh* why don't you take my soul while you're at it" i joked
"This ain't a laughing matter outsider you have a gift that defies the universe we wish to use it for" I held my hand up interrupting her
"I am sorry for interrupting but don't tell me I have a few guesses you can read minds yes is it one of them?" I said thinking of a few possibilities
She just stared at me "I can not read minds outsider why do you think I can?" She asked me calmly i could hear her curiosity so i spoke.
"You can use the force yes" i asked
"Yes i can-" she understood where i was going "we are not sith" she said in defense
"And you are not Jedi as well" i said back
She was silent then said "either way i request you lend us your gift and you can go back in time if not you'll never go back and remain here in this space forever " she threatened me
" wow going for threats now are we?, I thought you were the calm one" hearin me make that comment she immediately calmed down as if the situation just now hadn't happened .
"Okay you want my gift fine but tell me why first and second will you actually give it back"
She stared at me and said
"We have no need of your power we have our own I wish to use it to keep a evil away from this galaxy for good" hearing this I nodded absorbing the info
"Evil ? ,I could one think of three or four things that fit your term of evil." As i spoke she got closer to me "what do you mean my term of evil.?" Her voice right next to my ear but she was standing in front of me illusion? ,Shaking my head i slowly spoke.
"Your term of evil is anything against the force correct or am i wrong" my words loud and clear
"Wrong indeed" she said as a matter of fact
"Alright fine so it isn't that thing trapped in the unknown regions ,or that woman surrounded by black holes? ,Am i wrong.?" I looked her directly in her eyes she narrowed her eyes.
" do you gi—" before she could finish I spoke waving my hand
"Yes I give you my gift but I shall come back for it also leave me something at least since i suppose you are taking the cheat code as well " she looked at me and nodded
"Then we have a deal and serenity may the force be with you always wanted to say that goodbye 5 in 1" with that i slowly blacked out…
(POV serenity)
"Goodbye 5 in 1" his voice echoed through my mind as I and the others sent him back through time.
I keep thinking how he knew but outsiders are strange like that before I knew it I had sent this childish soul back in time…
