After entering Hyperspace, the ship was basically on auto-pilot, so there wasn't much that the two of them really needed to 'do'... Fortunately, this ship was larger and actually had a few extra rooms. Specifically, a small lounge behind the cockpit and an even smaller bathroom over on the side. There was no storage room though.
"Master… Do you smell that?"
"My senses are a little…" Those dried up head trestles twitched a bit and Kikha took a sip of cold water as she sat at the small table in the simple lounge/meditation room, "But now that you mention it… There is a very strange scent in the air."
"It's… Disgusting." Daesha frowned and quickly covered her nose with her left hand, looking towards the closed bathroom door, "I think… Maybe the toilets malfunctioned when you were spinning around like that earlier?"
"That's… Well, that's not impossible."
The two of them looked over at the door, then started frowning. They thought it was just a 'smell', but now they could feel something else. Something… Dark.
"Master…" The girl whispered, grasping the silver and white hilt on her hip, "What 'is' that?"
"Something… Unnatural."
*Shhhhhh~!* They could hear the sound of the shower running…
"Master, that 'unnatural' thing is taking a shower."
Kikha glared at her Padawan and whispered, "Don't let your guard down. It might be a ruse."
Twenty minutes later, the two of them were standing in front of the door nervously and holding their lightsabers. However, they hadn't ignited them yet. Afraid to startle the strange 'beast' inside.
The shower finally stopped running. Then they heard wet feet stepping on a tile floor. The Nautolan nodded to her Padawan and the girl reached out with her right hand. From a distance, the door unlocked and then opened slowly. Revealing the nightmarish scene inside!
"Umm… I can explain." A red-skinned boy with short black hair was bending over with his hand on the wall and trying to pull half of a black hilt out of his ass, "It's not what it looks like!"
"What in the hell 'does' it look like?!" Daesha couldn't help retorting. She wanted to look away, but her Jedi training wouldn't allow her to let her guard down because of embarrassment!
"Is that a lightsaber?!" Even Kikha had to squint her giant eyes a bit to see better, "Why… Just… Why? And how? Child, where did you find that hilt? It feels so vile…"
"Okay, if I'm being honest here… Ow~!" He finally managed to pull the whole hilt out of his ass and turn around to face the two women… Naked. Daesha blushed a bit on her light-purple cheeks and turned away, while her Master still kept staring at that slimy black hilt. The source of 'Darkness' and evil she felt was emanating from that weapon. She could feel an ancient, terrifying power hidden inside.
"So here's the thing. I know you guys are Jedi and you'd probably be pissed at me for… Well, you know, stowaway things. So I was like, 'Oh hey, I have a great idea!' I figured if some dude can hide a vibro-blade up his ass to shank people in prison, then a lightsaber would be way easier. On the off-chance that you guys didn't arrest me or whatever, you might still confiscate my shit, right? Especially something as fancy and expensive as a lightsaber. So… Yeah."
Daesha looked back at him in confusion and Kikha rubbed her aching temples with the tips of two blue tentacles. Finally the Jedi Knight asked again, "Where did you find that lightsaber? Did someone give it to you?"
"My girlfriend gave it to me." He smirked and held up the saber, almost dropping it because of the lube, but quickly caught it with the other hand.
"Your girlfriend is a Jedi?" The Padawan asked in confusion.
"Or she 'was' a Jedi…" Kikha frowned and shook her head, "No, that's impossible. Unless your girlfriend is thousands of years old. That 'thing' is so old that I would be surprised if it even worked anymore."
"Wow, you Jedi are really fucking good at mind-reading, huh?" He shrugged and tossed the hilt up in the air, catching it a few times.
"I was running from a bunch of massiffs in the middle of the desert a while back and then I fell into a Sarlacc Pit."
"And you escaped?!" Daesha widened her green eyes in shock, "You're telling the truth!"
"Of course I'm telling the truth. Why the fuck would I lie to a Jedi?" He rolled his golden eyes at the girl and held the 'safe' side of the hilt out to the woman who kept staring at it, "Wanna see it? You gotta give it back afterwards though. It's a relic from the Old Republic Era. Belonged to some crazy Sith Sorc from way back when…"
The hilt flew out of his hand and into Kikha's left hand. She felt the slimy surface and cringed a bit, but what disturbed her even more was the disgusting Darkness hidden within the blade. With a movement of her thumb, the crimson blade shot out a whole meter and her hand trembled.
"I've never seen a red lightsaber before." The young Padawan didn't seem to understand at all.
"This belonged to a Sith Lord. A long time ago. In a different Era. A much darker age." Kikha quickly turned the weapon off and lifted it up with the force, trying to take it apart… But she failed.
"Hey! Be careful!" Asmodeus grabbed the slimy hilt before the two of them could even react, then took it back into the bathroom, "Didn't I tell you already? It's an ancient relic and a gift from my girlfriend. Fortunately it's also water-proof, so I can wash it off properly. Might need a lot of soap though. God, you have no idea how long I've wanted to take a shower… Don't get me wrong, I love Sarry, but spending months covered in tentacles and mucus is really fucking rough."
"Wait… Wait a second, you're saying that your girlfriend… Urp, I think I'm gonna be even sicker…" Daesha gagged and almost threw up.
"What's the big deal?" He looked at the disgusted girl and snickered, "Sarlaccs should be considered Sentient. You know they can read the memories of people they 'eat', right? They can also communicate telepathically. As they get older, they get smarter. Sarry is already well over thirty-thousand years old… For fuck's sake, she was alive during the Era of the Infinite Empire! She was there back when Tatooine was still a jungle-world!"
