Crystaall gently threw her helmet onto one of the shelves, but kept one of her hands in the air as the helmet landed perfectly. Grey-Kast blinked for a second and then rubbed his eyes to stare at the helmet. Was everything Vex told him true? Crystaall only gave the rodian a puzzled look at his shock and put her hands on her hips. She gave him a raised eyebrow and coughed into her hand.
"You lost in a fantasy Kast?"
Grey-Kast shook his head and maintained his composure as he looked at Crystaall.
"I was just thinking."
"Well you're thinking too hard there."
Grey-Kast then held out his three fingered hand in an attempt to shake her hand and he only nodded to her.
"We never had a proper introduction. I am Grey-Kast, no last name. One of the greatest rodian pilots out in this vast galaxy."
Crystaall gave him her hand and they both shook for a few moments until she let go so she could place her hand between her breasts, indicating herself.
"Crystaall Sehefadu, a bounty hunter known mainly within Coruscant and a great fighter."
"I should expect no less from you."
"Why's that?"
"Vex told me a lot of things about everyone he met, but ever since he knew you, you've been his sole focus. It seemed as if he would someday adopt you as his child, with how he trained you and all. I heard you bested him in melee sparring matches and shooting challenges. Takes a lot to beat him."
"You say 'takes a lot to beat', I say I could do it blindfolded."
Grey-Kast only smiled and took a quick walk around the ship's circular inside and stopped when he saw the massive holo-communicator. Crystaall walked over to him and then looked at it as well. She then realized what he was staring at. It was a small button located behind the projector. Even she never noticed it until now. As she looked closely she noticed the word 'Destiny' written in ink below it. Vex was never superstitious, so why did he have a button named Destiny?

Spiderman is a Star Wars fan
It was Superman, but I decided I needed a change. I wanted to use a hero I've loved since birth. I may consider myself Superman, because I've done the impossible for someone like me. I've proven many people wrong and I'm still doing it, but I felt I should use my childhood hero since Spiderman is my greatest hero. Thought I should explain the decision for the name change... so there you go. Please, if you want to talk to me about the blog/book, send me an email, I'll be sure to look at it.
Chapter 5: A Life Not Meant To Be Pt 5
Crystaall then perked up, looking back at the rodian as she stood in the doorway of the clinic's exit. She turned around and grabbed him by the arm. There was a silent stare between the two until Grey-Kast lifted his left arm, pointing at the door.
"So are we going to go, or are you going to look into my eyes like a woman crazed for love?"
Crystaall shoved Kast back and scoffed at him as he threw her helmet at her. She caught it quickly, placing it between her arm and side and smiled.
"If I fell in love with a rodian smuggler, my droid would never let me live without the fact."
"Eh, it was worth a shot."
"Let's go Grey-Kast. No time to waste when the past is on the line."
Grey-Kast only shook his head as he followed her out of the clinic and into the dusty streets. He mumbled to himself since the teen was a moment or two ahead of him.
"Kid... you have no idea."
It took only a few moments for them to reach the spaceport and enter the hangar that housed the Dragon Hawke. The ramp lowered slowly with a droid's buzzing going off like an alarm. R4 stood at the top of the ramp squealing as if he was on fire and Crystaall only walked up the ramp and patted him on the head.
"Don't worry R4, I'm not going to bed. I need you to plot the coordinates to Naboo."
Grey-Kast only cracked a smile at Crystaall's witty comment of going to bed and then looked at her like something was wrong.
"Wait... your droid is piloting Vex's ship?"
"Yea... I can only pilot starfighters. Freighters like this have too many controls form me. Plus I prefer agility and strength in my combat. If they can't hit you, you're golden."
"Ha. And you say I'm like Vex."
"So are we going to go, or are you going to look into my eyes like a woman crazed for love?"

Chapter 5: A Life Not Meant To Be Pt 4
"Brat!? I saved your life!"
"And you nearly got yourself killed in the process!"
"Damn you, you're just like Vex!"
Grey-Kast stepped back and waved one of his fingers at the armored teen.
"No..... I'm not like Vex. I never sacrificed myself for a kid who never needed my help."
Crystaall stepped up to Kast's face and looked at him through his large eyes. The rodian was taller than her, but she hadn't grown fully. She lifted her right arm and threw a punch at the rodian's jaw, knocking him back a few steps, stumbling along the way. He held his jaw for a moment and only glanced at the armored girl.
"I may not know the truth about my past, about Vex or about everything around me, but you will never destroy his name like that. He did that for a reason. A reason I don't care for. So I'm going, with or without you... Kast."
Grey-Kast then stared at her in shock, he had just now noticed what she had said a few moments earlier. She saved his life. But she was never near the door, and his hand wasn't near the panel. Did she have the 'gift'? The so-called power that only a several few in the galaxy can weild? The power known as the Force? But he shook that out of his mind as he straightened himself up and looked at her. It was most likely the robed figure that shut the door, Crystaall was most likely refering to her own sacrifice due to her anger getting her in the situation before hand.
"Hey Crystaall!"
"What?"
"I know where your mother reigns. Naboo's city of Theed."
"And you nearly got yourself killed in the process!"
"Damn you, you're just like Vex!"
Grey-Kast stepped back and waved one of his fingers at the armored teen.
"No..... I'm not like Vex. I never sacrificed myself for a kid who never needed my help."
