One is the loneliest number

[Red]

"You want to be a hero kid? Get up..." . Reds eyes opened , she broke into tears the instant she woke up. Rolling over and throwing her head into her pillow. Why... she asked her self, Why, Why am I still alive, when all I do, is hurt people. My brother, innocent people, why. She glanced at her lightsaber, before throwing it at the wall. She then picked up a chair, throwing it across her room towards the door, manually activating the blast door. It shut with a metal clank.

Kid.., What are ya' doin.. get a hold of 'ya self

Red sat down, placing her elbows on her knee caps and just began to cry.

Reds goal, was to be a hero. Although what does it truely mean to be a hero. Does it mean saving the day? Does it mean sacrificing yourself for the greater good. A Hero Believed that he could sacrifice himself for the greater good, that he would have the will to do that, a Hero would believe that he had the strength to overcome the evil, He believed in a better world, He believed in second chances. Red believed she had the will to sacrifice herself for the greater good, Red believed she had the strength to overcome all evil, Red believed in second chances, And now when she stands at the limbo between suicide, and a second chance. She didn't know what to do...

*Moments after Red’s out burst a knock on the door could be hear. Jedi General Gulva Kerlin (Twilek - Male) appeared accompanied by another much younger Jedi, Letto stood shyly behind Master Kerlin.* “Red…” *Master Kerlin stayed mostly quiet at the sight of her as if not wanting to speak or in a way afraid.* “You’re going on a mission to Christophsis with myself and this other Padawan Chel Letto," *Letto bowed to Red as a sign of honour.* “It’s a pleasure to meet you.” “You two have something in common being a lack of a master and until we can find you one you will have to be brought on more sporadic missions by make shift masters, I hope that’s alright.” *At the mention of a lack of a master Letto looked down, spacing out to the floor but must of been paying an ounce of attention since he nodded when Master Kerlin asked if they were alright with having place holder masters.*

Red looked up, her tears have long since dried, she looked around her room, and stood up, brushing off her robes, wiping at her itchy dry eyes. "Well... Sorry for the noisy introduction, and the mess. " She looked over to Letto, examining him, before nodding and going to pick up the pieces of the chair "So, how long do we have until the mission, Id like to get to know Letto here, Id rather not go in blindly" She looked to Letto, smiling "Im Red, pleasure to meet you" She extended her hand for a shake, placing her curved hilted lightsaber on her belt.

*Letto accepted the offer and shook her hand passionately.* “Unfortunetly Red we have to leave now, the mission is quite urgent, you two can talk on the ship.” *Master Kerlin left the door way and proceeded down the hall, Letto looked back at Red and shrugged. but in a flash his expression turned from a face of mild content to complete outright boredom.* “Look I just want to get this over with as much as you do,we'd both rather be doing anything then a boring guard mission or something, I personally have a generator I was repeating but now I'm stuck going to Christophsis come on." *Letto stormed down the hallways after Master Kerlin only briefly giving a second glance back at Red. Outside a Jedi escort awaited the three of them, but Letto did try to wait for Red in the hallway despite his rudeness earlier for only now he realized something.* “Letto’s thoughts: she’s really upset about something, I could feel it, maybe she really needs a friend right now.”

Red, was obviously ticked off. " Look kid, I will tear your arms off, and stuff them down your throat, along with your teeth." she replied harshly, she sighed , heading back into her room to pack some things. She grabbed a rucksack, placing supplies into it. She took a glance back over her shoulder , calling out towards Letto, "Ill be there pretty soon, just give me a 'sec to pack my things" . Red sighed once again, why was everyone a complete jerk, including herself, she rubbed the bridge of her nose, slinging her lightsaber at her belt, before moving towards the door, obviously angered., She walked quickly towards the ship, wanting to get this over as fast as possible.

*After Red’s equally as rude remark Letto decide it was best if he didn’t wait and set off for the ship, Letto walked through the winding halls of the temple, seeing the occasional Jedi moving quietly down the halls, some of which were acquaintances, they seemed uneasy but very potful for Letto, Letto meanwhile meanwhile kept his head down inside thanking them for their thoughts of condolences. As he reached the outside he sat on a guard rail and waited for Red, Master Kerlin was at the foot of the ramp chatting with the pilot about something.* “Letto’s thoughts: This girl… She’s… Something…”

*The air around the temple was very crisp with morning dew, the sun was shinning and it looked like it was going to be a nice day despite the fact they weren’t going to be here’s long, Letto reached into his backpack and grabbed a project he was working on, he began tinkering with it to waste the time*

Red took little time packing her things. She left her room with a giddy beat to her step. Often getting an angry or uneasy/nervous look from the other Jedi, they never really liked her, probably was a good thing anyhow thought Red. Red moved along into a jog towards the boat, quickly catching up. She looked around uneasily, before moving up to Letto "Lets get going shall we? " said Red, before she moved onto the ship, she took a glance back at the Jedi watching her, and gave them a signal you don't need sign language to understand as she boarded the ship

*Letto watched her board with wide eyes, very confused.* “This is the girl I heard about, is she even a Jedi?” *Letto thought to himself as he strolled about quickly sitting down in the back room, the ramp going up as he sat down, shortly after the ship taking off. Letto pulled back out the gizmo he was working on, he put on his googles and began tinkering with it, spark flying all over, while working on it he would often keep an eye on Red just to make sure she didn’t do anything strange or suspicious. Awhile into the fight he decided to try to spark up a conversation.* “What kind of lightsaber you got?” *At this point Letto sat cross legged his hat laying beside him, above to his right was a window but all he could see was passing light since they were in hyperspace, Letto gazed out there regardless, scratching his head.*

 

[Red]

Red sighed, she was pretty bored as the ship flew through space, minding her own interests. Letto spoke up, asking her about her lightsaber. She sighed pulling out the Curved hilted lightsaber ,, "Oh, It 'aint anythin' special, Just a lightsaber, 'ya know?" The Lightsaber appears extremely worn, it used to have an antique design, although it looks like it has seen plenty of battle . She looked over, observing Letto for a second. Quirking a brow out of curiosity.

"So, how did you get into the order?"

 

[Bigfatpenn]

"Hunh, very nice" *Letto gazed at the hilt with awe admiring the handiwork and the design.* "It's curved so I can assume you're a user of Makashi? As am I, the curve really helps in duelling, in hein sight I should of got mine curved." *Letto pulled out his own lightsaber, twisting his hand to show it off to her. His lightsaber showed an once of cleanliness but also lots of self modifications such as the Phirk guard on the side (Picture of it on his bio).* "May I see yours? You can take a look at mine if you want."
