Star Wars: Force Bound 5 First Sign

While Jack was asleep he had a very clear and vivid dream. He saw himself fighting against another Force user. At least he thought it was one. The figure seemed to use an object that looked very much like a lightsaber. And why else would he himself use a lightsaber otherwise?

But that was about all he could discern and there was nothing else he could really about that person. There was only an oily shadow and if he tried to focus on the person who fought him the whole dream became blurry. So he stopped that.

Jack looked and inspected the fight the two of them had. After a clear struggle in the duel, Jack didn't end up victorious.

He saw his other self making a dumb mistake that even he could distinguish as one. It really was a dumb move. He tried to do some acrobatic evasion coupled with a thrust but all that came at the wrong time and only got himself penetrated by the enemies lightsaber.

His other selfs body only slumped to its knees and gritted its teeth after the person pulled the saber. He was not dead yet but the shadowy figure already lifted its weapon to do the final strike. The face of his other self scrounged up in pain while it tried to get its lightsaber back after letting it fall.

Just a few meters was the distance and it did react.

But it was all in vain and death greeted him with a swift strike. Then the shadowy figure seemed to look into his direction. Glowing red eyes appeared on it and Jack felt a huge pressure and immense threat from those eyes. So much that it even woke him up.

Jack had the feeling that he was noticed. Not the him that was on the floor and dead but the him that overlooked the fight.

´Was that a vision? My head hurts...´, thought Jack about it and opened his eyes. He put one hand on his face and could feel some slight dampness. He was sweating a lot by the looks of it. Then his eyes looked at his hand and how it was shaking.

[Skill "Force Vision" Acquired.]

[Skill "Force Battle Precognition" Acquired.]

Just as he thought. It was a vision. Terra just basically confirmed it. Calming down and taking a deep breath he tried to distract himself. So his eyes wandered around and looked at the interior of the s.h.i.+p.

He could finally see again and what he saw made him somewhat happy. The s.h.i.+p had a rusty steel vibe to it. There were grey walls everywhere with yellow-brownish paint on it about the height of his hip.

Jack would love to have his own s.h.i.+p at some point. One with the corvettes interior but not totally in white but rather with a mix of black and white. But he knew for now it was very unlikely that they could get something like that.

And they also had already this s.h.i.+p so why bother going for another?

Looking to the c.o.c.kpit he saw Ben still sleeping soundly. Even David took a seat and rested.

Remaining with his eyes on Davids figure, he started to stare at him. He really was a Jawa. Jack only had a hunch but that it was really true? Now that he thought about his language skills showed something else last time.

Checking it again he saw that he used pheromones through the Force to talk with David precisely.

´Terra, does that mean that Ben is also Force-sensitive?´, he asked after thinking about how Ben understood him so well.

[Everything is connected with the Force. There is no exception.]

´I see,´ Then Jack looked at Ben again. It seems he was somewhat lucky to be a human again. He would have gone crazy if otherwise. Jack was pretty sure about that. Then he remembered something and looked over both guys heads.

There was actually no indicator of what level they were. ´So I don't ha....´

[Skill "Observe" Acquired.]

´..Well, now I have it.´ he thought and chuckled.

He looked once more to his friends and saw levels now. Ben was actually level 6. Not bad. Even David was at level 4. Only he himself was lagging behind now it seems.

´Terra, can you please hide those indicators and only show them when I really use the skill actively? I don't want all those floating letters appearing over peoples heads´

[I can do that.]

´Thanks´ He thanked her for the first time.

Just when he did so and the names and level of his friends disappeared the s.h.i.+p jumped out of the hyperlane and disengaged its hyperdrive into normal thruster mode. The s.h.i.+p was rumbling somewhat until it became silent again.

Both Ben and David noticed it and woke up.

Looking outside the front window they saw the stars and a big planet with a moon around it.

"Wow...So that is how astronauts feel. They really did not convey the amazing view correctly. It is beautiful...", said David and jumped from his seat to go closer.

Ben snorted "I got to admit you are right. s.p.a.ce seems to be pretty. Hey! Jack! You awake!?", he answered to David and looked back to Jack if he was still sleeping. When he did so he could see Jack looking at him with his yellow eyes. Ben got a slight fright from that "Whoa! d.a.m.n mate, you scared me. s.h.i.+t your face looks dark. So you got your sight back?"

Jack only smiled at his reaction "Yeah, my eyes and even body feels much healthier now. So, who is gonna pilot this s.h.i.+p and dock at Nar Shaddaa?"

David immediately pointed at Ben. "It's him. Looks like when we got our bodies we also got some skills with it. Ben seems to be a good pilot and I think I am someone who is good with technology. The only one where I am not certain is you, Jack."

"Oh, that? I think I am a Force user. I had a weird dream about me fighting someone and dying.", answered Jack nonchalantly.

Both his friend looked at him.

"So you are our s.p.a.ce wizard?", mocked Ben and knew it would anger Jack and David. He was actually a little bit jealous that Jack got all the good cards. Ben knew that when someone was a Jedi then it meant being powerful, right?

Jack could slightly feel those emotions from him and was somewhat confused about what exactly this feeling was while Ben was talking. And there was this very small inaudible short whisper every time he said something.

[Skill "Force Empathy" Acquired]

"Shut up you idiot.", said David in a somewhat angry voice. "It is not the fact that he is a force sensitive but that he actually got a vision straight up after he woke up. And that of his death."

"Right...So any info you can give us? Maybe a heads up for who kills you?", asked Ben and wanted to know who they are going to deal with.

"Someone that can use the Force as well.", said Jack.

"Well, s.h.i.+t..." Ben just scratched his head and turned his seat back and started piloting the s.h.i.+p. "At least it ain't that slug we are about to meet. You two get yourselves ready."

Jack and David looked at the now somewhat serious Ben. Jack even could feel remorse inside him. Did he think about the time they died on earth?

David shook his head and went over to JAck after he grabbed some clothing from another chair. "Here are the things that you should wear. The hood obviously over your head."

"Thanks...", nodded Jack and started getting dressed in his new clothes.

"d.a.m.n mate, at least use the bathroom. It's down the corridor on the right.", said the little Jawa with a snort.

Jack chuckled somewhat and did as told. A little bit later he came back and looked pretty much like another smuggler. he even had a stylish trenchcoat with metal platings on his shoulders that went down to his knees. From there one saw what seemed normal pants and black boots.

If he didn't know better he would say looked like some cowboy. Somehow David even included some blaster and holster that he could strap around his right thigh.

"Better you got a gun. After all, you know yourself where we are going to.", said David.

"Sure, only the hood kinda makes it look weird.", said Jack. The hood he meant was to hide his features so that only people that looked closely at him would notice his race was different from human. The length of the hood was also a little bit on the small size and it only went down a little bit past his shoulders.

Ben glanced Jack over and frowned somewhat but didn't say anything. "We will be docking in 2 minutes. Let's see what all these planets are like. I somehow get the feeling that I need to visit a bar or something..."

"There are casinos on the planet...Actually, I would like to test something if it is alright with you guys. So if we can I would like to visit it.", suggested Jack to them.

"If you really want to do that...sure. We will probably get past one anyway. But I will only give you 5.000 credits to waste there. We can't go and gamble the money we have. And first comes the shop for your mask.", said David.

"What the. Since when are you our guy that handles the finances!?", rebuked Ben after hearing his money is being wasted and used for things.

"Stop whining. We got the money because of Jack anyway. Here" David didn't bother about Ben his protest and threw Jack a credit chip with 5.000 on it.

[5.000 Money added. Changing Money to Credits]

Jack only nodded after receiving the chip and looked outside. He saw how they came closer to the moon Nar Shaddaa.
