Loki was sitting in the small caf they had converted for their uses and unique palates, three carnivorous Zabraks two of whom where genetically mutated beings, tended to consume large quantities of meat, though they had recently discovered some choice favorites roaming the nearby foothills. He sat down with his tray, the training had left him famished, the meat, Gizzak steak, was only slightly seared but heavily seasoned, with what the Earthlings called Mashed Potatoes and butter, with something they called Broccoli on the side, he wasn't typically a vegetable eater, however he had taken to Earths unique preparations of the different foods. He was also drinking a Vanilla Cherry Coke, something that when he had first arrived had nearly caused him to explode because of its delicious taste. He took a bite of steak and swallowed as Kek walked in, Loki waved him over, pointing to the empty seat, but full tray across from him, Loki's portion was three times larger than Kek's but then Loki was twice the size of the smaller Zabrak. "I hope your training goes well, I know working with your Prince has been a pleasure, he's come so far since our arrival. " Loki said as Kek sat down and took a sip of drink, his preferred favorite was something called Sprite.
"Yes Master, it goes well, for both Tidus and I, I feel I have more control now than when I fought Iosef two years ago. More power, more knowledge." Kek took another bite and waited for Loki to respond. "Good, good, because we must have you both ready, for whatever comes. You where both well versed in aspects of the Force, and combat, you in particular." Kek nodded and bowed his head respectfully. In truth, he was the youngest Commander in the history of Arkaina. But this Zabrak, and Master Dash, they wowed him. Loki he knew from Dash was once a mass murdering, being of evil, Dark-Side Bent on ruling the galaxy in his iron fist, but something, years before had changed him. He wasn't redeemed not in the traditional sense, but his morality had changed, his outlook, his plan. To serve and protect the Galaxy, not as a Jedi but as himself..Then other things had happened, Dash said Loki is no longer the same being he had fought for years, but also not the same being begging for redemption five years ago, but something new. Something powerful, and Kek idolized him. He figured if he was half as good as either Dash or Loki, he would be okay. And would better serve his Prince, no, King now.. "If only I could fight like you and Dash, we've watched you spar, how do you move like that? Tidus can in his armor, and so can I, but you and Master Dash? Shirtless, no armor, just sabers. The sheer speed, the strength, how?" Loki finished chewing another bite, pondering the question, only a select few knew Dash and Loki's origins. He sighed a little. "We are genetically altered Super Soldiers, who also happened to extremely powerful force users, when you combine the two, you get what you see before you. They picked newborn Zabrak's because of our genetic versatility, we adapted to live on harsh planets like Iridonia and Dathomir, we where forged by the Rakatan Empire. Our genome is easily spliced, for example, I have the bone density of a Kyrat Dragon, my skin is both Zabraki, and a split between some creature I do not know, though no regular blade can cut my skin. Even coming from someone as strong as me, my musclar system is spliced with both my own Zabraki, Wookie and Wampa genes, creating corded muscle that is six times stronger than a typical Zabrak, Wookie, or Wampa, one of the tests when I was but sevn was to wrestle a Wookie, and a Wampa, i defeated both handedly..." Kek leaned back, it was the most he had ever gotten out of Loki without severe prodding from Dash and Tidus, he nodded as he listened... But did not speak, they continued eating in silence, enjoying the others company.
Loki's left eye, suddenly grew dim, something was /wrong/, something had changed, his shields around the meditation chamber had just been assaulted...From the inside. Loki stood up suddenly causing Kek to blink in surprise. "Kek...Wait here finish eating..In five minutes go to Dash, that's an order!" Kek began to protest, but then he heard the edge in Loki's voice..Typically he would disobey an order like this, but something told him to at least wait a few minutes, he took another bite, but barely chewed as Loki swept away.
<<"Dash, Something is wrong, be wary, I have a bad feeling...">>
<<No need to finish that thought.. brother, I am always Wary>>
We Are Bound In Purpose and Glory
Loki moved down the hall, not in a rush, but his long stride seemed urgent all the same. North Brother Island was not just the four Force users, but home to a contingent of beings called "Elites" and also a few SWORD Agents, as well as one assistant of Tony Starks, who was footing the bill for their operation...Loki turned a corner, and then took two flights of stairs down.. His sense of unease growing with each step, the power, the fear, he could taste it, once upon a time he'd have relished it.. He took a final corner and at the end of the hall was the door...He walked forward, and put his palm in the biometric scanner. The door slid open to reveal a horrifying scene, Neuro was in a corner, scared, Tidus lay upon the ground, a mark upon his face. He appeared to be unconscious, Loki rushed forward, sliding to his knee's next o Tidus and lifted his head, he held up a finger, and touched Tidus' head, rousing him. "What happened Highness?" Loki said quietly as his hand began to glow over the Mark on Tidus' face, Loki would heal the small wound, but he could do nothing about any scaring..
