Chin would cough loudly as thing seemed to calm slightly, his entire throat was aching in pain and he looked up at Keyaru and his eyes narrowed. "You got it." he'd say hoarsely as he stood up again and took another few deep breaths trying to get himself to calm down. He took a deep breath as he could tell that he was a little too worked up at the moment.

He looked around watching as others were doing their own thing trying to take Keyaru out. Meanwhile, Gauss seemed to have a plan on top of going all out. "Are you sure?" Chin would ask as he walked up to Gauss. he would take a deep breath before he would start to elbow Gauss in the chest, then the face, then he would roatate his hands to windmill punch Gauss' chest each smash would echo and each blow had a shockwave along side it. After just a moment he took a step back, then back in.

"Six king gun!" Chin shouted out as he shot his fists, forward. One fist landing on the foreehead another landing on Gauss' chest. As two huge shockwaves released from it alone before chin slowly backed up and took another breath calming himself once more. "If you need me to do more, please just tell me."

Chinmoku would look to Nemesis, a grin on his face as he could tell, that the Nomu was not expecting someone to trade blows with him. "You know, not that you have much of your own thought, but-" He would find himself completely in another area... something... somewhere had teleported him. It took him only a moment to realize what was happening as he suddenly went to his knees at the.. pressure. This pressure as if Gravity had been turned up in the room. He looked up as he saw an images of death flashing before his eyes. The panic began to set in as he seemed to hear muffled sounds of others saying things around him.

"No... NO." Chin said as he shook his head as best he could to flush the images. "That's not reality...." But that giant meteor he just realized was coming down.. was real... was very real as he noticed the people around him. Trying to stop it. Chinmoku took only a moment to close his eyes and take a breath. His senses now calmed, he opened his eyes a determined look trying to ignore the painful pressing of the gravity that continued to push down on him. "Cover your ears! Don't ask just do! He shouted to those around him. He was only supposed to use this in case of an emergency and this.... this giant meteor that seemed ready to destroy everyone and everything , was definitely that. An emergency. He was so focused he didn't even see the villains who were doing all this. One problem at a time.

He needed to take a breath. He needed a moment he wasn't sure he had. Until a boy with long hair seemed to be able to slow the meteor. I will have to remember to say thank you. thought Chin. He took a few baited breaths before taking a big breath. He had to try even harder as the gravity made it difficult the even breathe... Chinmoku realized he was going to have to give this his absolute all.... No... there was no choice, in this, it was either his all, or everyone died... or he died.... Chin's eyes widened, if he died his father would be disappointed, that on his first day.... he failed. A look of disdain covered his face as he looked up finally finished with that breath.

A screech, a yell, a scream. Whatever you wanted to call it, came from Chinmoku as he used his Banshee Screech.
youtube.com/watch?v=6rtI86rgZ9I&ab_ch… (This is essentially what I'm going for his screech.)
Louder, harder, EVERYTHING...I .... HAVE! he thought as the scream got even louder, you could see the shockwaves coming from his mouth slamming into the meteor with ferocity, but it wasn't just one. It was a shockwave, after shockwave, after shockwave slamming harder the louder his scream got. Glass would start shattering around them if there was any from the decibels that he was raising his screech to. But he couldn't stop until this meteor was destroyed.

As Chin landed onto the battlefield he looked across from them at the troubled Nomu, "Sure. It's a pleasure to meet you all, you can call me Heartbeat." He eyed up and down who he assumed was Nemesis as he began to walk forward assessing the situation. His eyes darting every way around him before he took a deep breath and locked eyes on this being that seemed already struggling. "You've chosen the wrong day to be on the other side of fate, my friend." Chin said as he began to move quickly almost seeming to glide across the ground as each footstep got louder and louder and louder.

Chin unleashed a sudden shockwave from his right foot as he slammed it into the ground. This shockwave propelled him at a much faster speed and the sound of shoes slapping against cement could be heard echoing in the area. His eyes furrowed as he closed in on the nomu who swung wildly at him. Chin went for a casual block only to find himself overpowered as he punched at the arm that was swinging at him. The punch would land but it wasn't enough to stop the incoming attack. Chin would slide across the ground before slapping the ground with his hands sending another shockwave from his hands to propel himself forward. The next attack was a wild left. Hit the joint, there's no finesse in his moves Chin thought to himself as he pushed both his fists towards the cubital fossa. Both of Chin's fists collided as a loud sound of skin on skin contact echoed as he sent shockwaves into the arm, it was just enough to keep it from overpowering Chin.

Chin quickly ducked another wild attack before releasing a flurry of blows, each one echoing and sending a shockwave into Nemesis' body. Left jab, to the gut, right elbow to the sternum, right chop to the chest, left palm to the sternum, and straight punch to the chest once more. Chin ducked another attack before slamming a fist into the side of the Nomu's knee. Chin felt like he had everything under control, until he found himself being lifted up by his shirt, the Nomu had managed to grab his shirt without him realizing, and before he knew it he was being slammed into the ground. Dust would come up and Chin felt the pain surging through his body but he could feel the nomu lean over his body. Chin released a whistle, amplifying the sound and sending a shockwave from it as it would slam into the Nomu's head while the sound of a high pitched whistle would be able to carry for quite some distance. Chin followed it up with slapping his hands on the side of the Nomu's head sending more shockwaves and noise to carry. Chin would roll away as he repositioned himself and got into his fighting stance, ready to see what this thing would do next, or what his allies were going to do next.

Earlier that day

"Yes, as you can see my son is going to rise up in the ranks of Eirei Academy easily, and he will soon be able to handle his very own Hero business!" his father said as he pointed toward Chin who simply stood there and bowed to the men in suits across the table from him. His father would put his hand on the table a ring with the Kanji: 弾 on his right hand's ring finger would make the sound of metal tapping against wood.

"I promise you, you don't want to miss this, you don't want to lose out to a competitor and be sitting there and saying to yourself "We could have had Heartbeat the next great hero!" The men across from them would speak to each other for a moment before one of them smiled and stood up.

"Mr.Akatsuki we like your pitch and your son's quirk is quite interesting. His scores aren't bad either... We will agree with a small investment in order to save our place. We would like to See how your son does at the Academy before making any decisions. Now Eirei Academy usually doesn't fully display the lives of their students... so we should expect a consistent progress report from you, eh? Heartbeat?"

Chin smiled and nodded before bowing. "I will do my best to keep my father up to date on my current academic advances as well as my hero journey."

"That's good enough for us!" The men and Chin's dad would shake hands as they laughed about something,

Chin wasn't paying attention he was bored out of his mind. He looked out the window at some trees as he thought about his home and all the friends he left behind. "It'll be just fine son, this is the perfect opportunity to make a name for our family." his dad had said to him.

Little did Chin know at that time that his dad would be showing him off almost like a prize pig to businessmen and different toy stores all trying to make him the next big thing. It was a lot of pressure, but that wasn't the reason Chin wanted to go through with it.

--------------------
Current time, Eirei Polytechnic Academy

Chin stood in front of the massive buildings with his stuff in his hands. His father had helped him unpack and was on the phone with another person who Chin wasn't sure if his dad wanted this company to make a cereal in his name or a drink. Regardless he was focused on making sure that he was able to change this world. Someone had to be the voice of reason, the voice of justice in this chaotic world. He had really enjoyed his time if there was anything that Best Jeanist had taught him was that a proactive hero was one who expected the danger before it even happened.

"This isn't the first time you've dropped me off at school father. Remember Shiketsu?"

His father would grin as he looked at his ring. "Ah yes. We will talk later!" He said into his phone before looking at Chin and smiling. "Of course I remember my boy. Just like I remember how well you developed and how great you became there. But what we are wanting here, is to show everyone, from UA, to Shiketsu to any other business that has turned you down that you are the next great hero! You are going to save lives son, and you are going to change this world. BUT it won't happen if you don't have an image! You could do more with talking a bit more son!"

"Apologies father, I will be sure to do my best to talk more and make friends while I am here." he said as his father nodded.

His father would put down the last of his bags as Chin picked it up and threw it over his shoulder. "I know you will son, make me proud and we will make the Akastuki name famous throughout the world. We may even become the next Dynasty! But all that will come with time, for now learn, and become the greatest. Remember, discipline and training make the gifted...." his dad paused as Chin smiled gently and spoke.

"Discipline and training make the gifted suffer, but if gifted already you become the better" Chin said as his dad patted him on his back.

"That's my boy! Now go do your best! Which is to say, go and become the best!" his father said before he began walking away. "I will call you later son!"

Chin would bow to his father and speak "Good bye father, I love you." He would say before quietly picking his things up and moving. As he began to move anyone close by would notice he almost didn't make any sound as he walked and each step was like him gliding over the land. He moved slightly strangely, in a way that had him moving just barely side to side as he walked. Well here we go. Eirei Polytechnic Academy, what do you have in store? he thought to himself.

ꜱᴛᴀɢᴇᴘʟᴀʏ
Chinmoku Akatsuki, known as Chin to his friends, is a bit of an oddball. He is outgoing and loves to be around people, and while he is a naturally loud person; he tends to observe first before engaging in group conversations. Chin carefully watches how people act and respond before joining the conversation himself. He usually prefers to listen and think before speaking rather than acting impulsively. While he prides himself on being honest, he can sometimes be overly blunt, speaking his mind without considering other people's feelings.

Born to a successful businessman who was often not home, Chin grew up in a strict household. His mom was consistently the driving force behind trying to get him to think before he acted at a young age. However, he was bullheaded and would often act without thinking. One day, he and a friend decided to mess with someone they thought was a strange man in an alleyway. This led to a dangerous situation where they both ended up hospitalized. With his mother's words echoing in his head, he made his first thoughtful decision and resolved to become a hero. He decided that it would be him who protected others like that Hero protected him and his friend. He wanted to protect his friend that day but failed and that failure will forever be in his memory.

Academically Chin does well for himself having always found the academics of school easy. If only he could remember to turn things in on time he would probably have a great grade. But often getting carried away doing other more interesting things makes him forget about the things he is supposed to be doing.

Despite academically not being as disciplined as he could be, he has spent most of his life training to protect himself using Martial Arts. This was a request by his father who figured that one day he would need it to defend the family and the familial name.

His Father is happy the path that Chin chose, however is wary as he feels that Chin may emberass the family if he ever makes a large mistake like other heroes have which have brought them down as a fall from Grace. But with the development of his quirk his father looks to profit off of his success and use it to catapult Chin into stardom.

Cel O` Royal

Keldabe Mandalore
1 mile from the Mandalore Tower
@apollosarcher

Cel looked up when she saw out of the corner of her eye someone vaulting over the fleeing mob. A new person, she had to make a quick decision about who this person was and what chaos she may bring into this. Her eyes scanned her as she caught the Mandalorian slowly getting up, her eyes watched the woman's hand hover over her side, and in a faint moment, she saw it as the woman landed. A lightsaber, that means this is.... a Jedi, at least there was an 80% chance of it with the way she moved.

The people around her were backing up and began to try and run from the situation they had just caused as they saw the Mandalorian fully standing up. It was no use the Mandalorian put his hand to the side of his helmet as if to signal he was talking to someone and within a moment the only exit for these thugs was cut off by death watch members with blasters fully drawn. Damn it all, it's probably more than likely a 95% chance because no one else would be stupid enough to get involved in death watch business Cel thought to herself before she took the woman's hand.

She had just played a dangerous game, a game of chance, but it was her best chance and it looked like it had paid off. The Mandalorian who was shot down walked slowly and without a word, before he nodded to Cel and walked past her. Cel would look back as she made sure this lady couldn't see her as the man who fired a blaster bolt was trying to plead his case pointing at Cel. Cel would give him a wink before turning back to the woman who saved her. "Thank you so much miss, I really can't say how much you've helped me here" "I had it handled but this just gives me a good reason to get out of here.

Cel would follow her out of the Alleyway before dusting herself off. "So sorry about that miss, thank you for helping me there. I wasn't sure if I was going to make it there, I sure got lucky that that Death Watch guy was flying over the second he missed his shot!" She smiled as she scratched the back of her head.

"Oh you wanted me to fill out a form! she'd say as she pulled out of her bag a small organizer and pulled out a folder labeled 'Form 35-B' "Okay, you wanted me to fill out the form for a public incident? What about the one for the injury of a Mandalorian, I also have form 876-I9 but if you want me to fill out the form for you and me, and the incident, we will have to go back to the tower to get ahold of the form 752-9DL, as I am all out of that form." She smiled at the woman before making a small gasp and straightening out of her red dress, "I'm so sorry, I never introduced myself. I am Cel O'Royal. Supervisor, and next head of transportation here on Keldabe." She would stick her hand out hoping for a handshake as her brain went a thousand miles a minute.

I could also fill out form 45W but that form is way too easy, besides, most Jedi are not brave enough for politics. Her eyes went up and down Varina analyzing her each way that she could, from how she walked to the ease of movement of her feet.

Star Wars Chapter 0: KNIGHTFALL

Cel O` Royal

Cel continued to walk down the road as she sang to herself and dodged person after person who was walking the other way until she stopped taking out the listening devices in her ear and her eyes widened. She was looking in a store and there was a beautiful red dress with a slight slit up the side of the leg. She quickly turned around and walked into the store. She was walking up to the person at the counter.

"Yes, I need to know how much that dress in the window is, and do you have any in my size?

The man at the counter spoke some form of native Mandalorian. Cel would nod before raising an eyebrow. "Founding day be damned, 6000 credits is insane for a dress..... fine... I'll take it."

Cel would walk out of that store a few hours later this time in a red dress that went down to just past her knees and a small slit up the side of it as she continued back towards the center of town. As she walked she decided to walk through a back alley, a path she knew was a shortcut and there would surely be fewer people. She would continue humming as she walked gingerly past a few guys who seemed to catch her walking by and eyed her up and down. " Both human, chances of being a threat, 30% based on looks and their sneers she thought to herself as she continued to move. It only was a few more steps before she heard a whistle in front of her as two Zabraks and a rather large Besalisk stood in front of her. It took not even a second to glance at them 90% chance of danger her head shouted. She didn't even talk to them or stare at them for more than a fraction of a second before she turned around only to see the other two humans blocking her way. "No, the odds were in my favor!" she grumbled as one of the humans gave her a strange look like he didn't understand what she was talking about.

"Listen, lady, the odds are still in your favor. We are just here for your protection! It's just gonna cost everything on you for us to let you through, you never know what's gonna happen here on Mandalore. Lots of imperials around, after all, I'm sure one of them may just try to mug you. Better we keep your stuff for safekeeping." said one of the Zabraks

"You can take your protection and shove it up your ass you should know that founding day is like the worse day to even try and commit a crime." Cel would say as her head ran through the numbers and she nodded confirming that it was in fact true. About 75% of crime ended in some type of death on founding day. Probably because the mix of different jurisdictions and people made for the worst combinations.

"Oh man." the Besalisk said. "Biff are you going to just take that? I mean we are trying to do her a favor."

"Right you are Trex" He would slowly walk up to Cel. Cel's eyes darted above and all over the place as she was calculating the best move to make to get out of this. She could feel her heart racing, she knew there was one way out but that was no guarantee either. She watched as the Zabrak pulled out a gun and smiled at her. "That's okay though, because she looks like she's pretty loaded, so it should be pretty obvious, your things, or your life." Cel bit her lip and her hands began to feel a bit clammy. She wished it was that simple, but chances were that if she saw their faces they weren't going to let her live, although if that was the case they could have just shot her already. Her brain was moving a thousand miles a minute at this point as she was trying to figure out the different odds the Zabrax looked at her confused as she wasn't responding. "HEY! I'm talking to you!" he yelled at her, "Do you want to die!?" he started to obviously get agitated.

She looked up at him for a moment, she seemed to lose her own temper as her eyes narrowed, "Listen, you filthy little man. I find it remarkable that you persist in entertaining the idea of deploying that firearm against me while seemingly disregarding the profoundly abysmal probability of your success, estimated at a mere 40%. I implore you to reconsider your ill-fated course of action, lest we both suffer irreparable consequences. It would be prudent for us to terminate this utterly futile engagement so that we may proceed on divergent paths, embracing tranquility rather than perpetuating this needless altercation." in her head she was certain she was right as the man seemed to look at her almost confused.

"Boss, let's get going, best not to draw too much attention!" Trex said

"Yeah I don't know what this lady just said, but just shoot her!" one of the humans responded.

"Yeah, listen here bitch this is your last chance." He pushed the barrel of the blaster now against her head. "Now make a choice I'll give you to the count of 5 before I blow your fucking brains out!"

"I am Cel O` Royal! One of the supervisors of the Mandalorian transportation department! And YOU- "

"I don't care who you are!" He would smack her face with the side of the blaster as she stumbled into the wall. "5!" he said as he pushed the blaster once again against her forehead.

Her hand reached for her vibro-blade for a moment as she heard, "4!" She stopped though, her head had solved the equation, there was an extra variable that she was missing. Her eyes shot up to the sky as she heard the man yell. "3!" It was at this moment that she seemed to have realized he was actually counting. Her eyes finally showed like she caught up to the situation. "2!" the man yelled out and she made her move as she screamed out loud. Loud enough that it made multiple people stop on either end of the alleyway as she ducked and pushed his hand above her head in a mere second as the man fired a blaster in the air, it was loud enough that people were screaming and now even more people were looking in the alleyway as Cel was screaming. And by chance, there was a thud as everyone stopped and turned on one of the streets to see that a Death Watch member had been shot from the back and had fallen onto the street. Everyone went quiet as Trex looked around, "Oh shit! That's not good, that's not good, that's not good!"

Biff looked at what just happened, "No... I didn't it was... her... she pushed my... I wouldn't... Oh no." He'd say with fear in his voice.

Star Wars Chapter 0: KNIGHTFALL

Cel O` Royal

Keldabe City, Mandalore
----------------------------------------------------
Cel had been sitting awhile, reading away at her book and taking time to contemplate things when she looked up as the loud music began to rise and even bellow over the ships racing above. "By all that is good in this world, I can't tell you how much I am annoyed by the Mandalorian way of doing things constantly, but... they know how to throw one hell of a party." She'd stand up and close her book and put it in her bag before she started to walk away. Then she'd hear a familiar voice.

"Cel! Cel! Thank goodness you are here."

Cel turned around to see a female Twi`lek who came running up with a clipboard in hand. "Cel, we need your help, your supervisor has disappeared and we need you to check out the numbers and possibilities of the party before it gets out of control!" the Twi`lek yelled trying to get louder than the music.

Her name was Cesal, she was a brown Twi`lek and was relatively new to the bureaucratic system. "Listen, Cesal... I am technically off to-"

"Cel, none of us are ever truly off, now if you don't look at these then who knows what will happen or who will be upset, or who is gonna wind up without a seat!"

"Cesal... if someone winds up without a seat, just get them one." Cel would say a slight bit annoyed by the fact that she was interrupted. But the way Cesal was looking at her made her realize she was Cesal's only hope in this case.

Cel sighed as she took the clipboard. "Thank you so much Cel, I appreciate it and owe you one!"

Cel scanned over the page her brain doing hundreds of calculations in her head, only to be consistently interrupted by the music and people shouting. Cel rolled her eyes as she kept looking over the different numbers. "Your food numbers are insanely low for the main city, you are going to need to do an emergency transport of food from the outer cities or colonies. At this rate you'll run out of food before the party is even over. You didn't think about all the extra diplomats and imperials did you?"

"I'm so sorry, I figured not many imperials would want to come to something on Mandalore, I just figured it'd be a few random diplomats."

"It's fine, Shuror always keeps a small supply of food on hand that should be enough for the transport ships to come and bring you more. You will just have to pay them extra to be able to take it off of their hands." Cel grabbed a pen from her bag and began signing different files. "You'll need to expedite this so you'll want to run form 67-J2 and 34-FT otherwise you'll get bogged down.... or just send someone to go get it, this is Mandalore, and most people just get to do whatever they want, also with this big of a celebration, no one is gonna turn you down in your time of need.... or they do and then you just get a Mandalorian to accompany you."

"Man, how could you do that without a computer or cybernetic enhancements? You're like a human calculator! No... a human computer!" There was a tad bit of jealousy in her voice as she spoke as well but Cel didn't seem to notice.

Cel would blush as she handed the clipboard back. "Not quite, more just like an eidetic memory but the math comes easy you just have to-" Once again Cel was interrupted.

"Yeah, thanks Cel! I appreciate you signing off on it as well! Bye!" The Twi`lek yelled as she walked away. At that moment the music had a slight rest note and Cel could hear her say under her breath. "If only that bitch wasn't a supervisor."

Cel frowned as she spoke softly to herself. "Noted" Cel turned away and began walking to the center of the city again, this time in hopes of finding something to do. She chuckled to herself as she continued to walk away from the tower. "While this city seems like it's chaotic, at least it's always safe." She looked up trying to spot a member of the Death Watch... anywhere that they could be. She shrugged and began to sing quietly to herself as she put some headphones in her ears to try and drown out the music "I bring a light so bright to illuminate the world" she sang quietly to herself as she continued her stroll.

Star Wars Chapter 0: KNIGHTFALL

Cel stood there watching everyone walk in and depart from her. She didn't quite mind as she turned to Rask as he spoke. She gave him a smile as he said goodbye and she waved at him. "See ya around, space cowboy" she would say teasingly as she watched him walk away. That was strange, that wasn't just strange that was a little fun. I haven't had that much fun since I was in Chandrilla. She watched Rask walk away as the door slowly closed behind her. She had no interest or need to go into the Mandalore Tower, she had just brought everyone here in hope that they'd bring about a bit of excitement in her life, something to make her feel more alive.

Don't be so shocked Cel, of course they just all left you. You merely were a person for them to get what and where they wanted. Everyone leaves, this isn't new. She began to walk again, this time almost absent mindedly. After walking down the streets of Mandalore, she noticed a window to a messy apartment where two children were throwing clothes at each other while their parent laughed. She seemed to start to space out for a moment as she wasn't focused on the kids but rather the clothes everywhere.

"CLEAN IT UP! CLEAN IT UP! YOU FILTHY LITTLE BRAT!"

Cel stood I the middle of her room as her nanny, Esmeralda stood at the door screaming at her. She had just been playing with her dolls and hadn't cleaned her room like she was supposed to... by 10 am exactly. Esmeralda stormed into the room as Cel was grabbed by her hair and shoved against the post of her big luxurious bed. "I promise you if you don't clean it up, I will burn everything you have. Then I'll tell your dad that you did it, and guess what? He will believe me! Filthy, filthy child." She would slam young Cel's head against the post, the already tearing up child now was in a full-out sob as her head was hurting. "Stop your crying, you don't know hardship, you don't know a reason to cry," Esmeralda said as she threw Cel to the ground by her hair. Cel would hit the carpeted ground with a thud as she continued to sob uncontrollably but slowly started picking up her things, her room was by no means a mess. In fact, it just looked like a kid's room, with a few toys here and there. A couple of dirty clothes on the ground and maybe the occasional clean clothes folded and put in the wrong area.

"Good, now you clean you dirty rotten brat and hear me when I say this. I know your type, growing up rich and without worry. You just leave everywhere else a mess for others to deal with. Just know that at the end of the day you deserve this. And you'll deserve it when everyone leaves you and you find yourself all alone. And you'll have nothing other than your absolute filth to blame"

-----------------
Current day Mandalore

Cel realized she had been staring into this apartment for some time when the mom walked over to the curtains staring a death glare at Cel and closed the blinds. Be more careful, you are on Mandalore, it wouldn't be insane to think that anyone could be armed and ready to fire and kill you. She sighed as she continued to walk as she slowly went back into her thoughts.

Cel quickly ran up the flights of stairs as she had just heard the news about what happened. She swung open a door to see her friend, a trandoshan, packing a bag. "Claire, I'm so happy for you!! It's your dream job, right?! A junior diplomat for Corellia! " Cel ran over and gave her a hug and her friend hugged her back. "Cel, I'm so happy and excited, I leave literally tonight!"

"Tonight?! But that's so soon!

"Yes, but Cel, listen, when I become a full-fledged diplomat I will finally get to travel the universe going to all the awesome and unique planets that are out there. Meeting so many people! It's going to be a blast!" Claire hugged Cel back tightly before looking at the ground. "But, I hear the training program is pretty intense. It's three weeks without contact with anyone outside of the class."

"That's okay Claire! Let's go out and paint the town then!"

"Cel, I don't think we can, especially with The Night Stalker still at large"

Cel frowned, she had forgotten about that. She had forgotten that there was someone going around and preying on people late at night, it made her sick to her stomach just hiking about it. "Listen, we will stay in, watch a movie and then how about you take me to the jump station tomorrow morning, and when I get to Corellia I'll let you know!"
--------------------
Current day, Mandalore
Claire had definitely made it to the jump station but she never did call, or call back. In fact, the one time she finally got a hold of Claire, Claire had told her to leave her alone and let go of the past. "They always leave.

Cel began to think about the last time she saw Claire, and Claire acted like she hardly even knew her. She began to wring her hands a little as she thought about it.

Cel continued to walk now as she found herself going in a circle, not really sure where to go. She seemed to look down at her hands as she looked at how smooth they looked. She thought about how hard it was at times to keep them looking that smooth and keep herself sane.

"Oh you think you are so smart, don't you? Then tell me how do you plan to fix this?" Esmerelda would hold up a broken tiny droid that seemed to be powered down. Cel walked over and looked at it. "Oh... Its operating capacitor is just low if you take a screwdriver and direct energy from its ability to speak to it's operating system, it should be able to work and then you can take it to a repair shop! She smiled as she began to walk away.

"You think your so smart don't you, did you c-"

"Yes Esmerelda, I cleaned my room, washed the dishes, watered the flowers and mopped the floor all before 10. My homework is completely finished and has been notated and turned in, I have waxed the floors and bleached the bathroom as well as re-painted the outside wall. All before 2pm as you requested." She turned back away with a grin, she had finally gotten one over on her.

"You think you are so smart don't you, you brat?" Esmeralda said as she crossed her arms. Cel would turn around feeling a little brave.

"Permit me to assert that I possess an exceptional level of intellectual acuity, surpassing mere intelligence, thereby prompting your apparent misconception, for it seems that the profound disparity in our cognitive capacities eludes your comprehension."
Esmeralda looked at her confused as she spoke "What?" she said.

"Oh let me simplify, I said: Smart? No, I think I'm brilliant, you just think I'm smart because you can't grasp the gap in our intellect." Cel turned back around defiant and feeling like she had just taken down a giant.

"YOU BRAT!" Esmeralda yelled as she stood there not sure what to do. She looked around and grabbed the pan of heating water, she was going to boil the water to make some tea. The water had yet to start boiling but was already steaming and obviously hot. She walked briskly and grabbed Cel by the hair and threw her on the ground. "You want to insult me?!"

"I didn't do anything wrong, I did everything you asked before you even expected me to finish it! Cel said looking at the ground before looking up to see the pan in Esmeralda's hand and her eyes widened. Her head screaming at her she was in danger. As she got up to run Esmaralda grabbed her again this time by her throat. Cel brought a fist back before Esmerlada started yelling.

"Remember what happened last time you fought back! Remember how your father believed me and not you?! Remember how you left a mark and I never do!?" Cel stopped and lowered her fist in defeat as she was shoved against a cabinet. Esmaralda set the pan down and grabbed a hanging mug nearby that was hanging from a hook next to the cabinet and dipped it into the pan before pushing the hot water at the lips of Cel. "You want to talk back, you want to rebel! I'll teach you really quickly why you don't talk back to me!"
-----------------
Modern Day, Mandalore
Cel grabbed at her throat as she made a frustrated face. She was so happy to be out of that position and out of that abuse. She thought about how wonderful the day was that Esmaralda got what was coming to her. She smiled to herself as she continued to walk, her life hasn't been all bad though. She has made quite a few friends between the planets that she's worked and now she's working ON Mandalore. Certainly it was a dream for many bureaucrats. She walked back up to the tower, she had gone in a full circle and sat on a bench nearby. Giving a soft smile to a mother and her daughter as they walked by.

She remembered what her dad said "Everyone deserves a second chance, if you can pull someone out of a bad position you should." She smiled, she missed her dad as she looked up and thought about how he ought to be proud of her if he was still alive. "What a journey, I shouldn't act like I'm alone. After all, I often get tired of being around people too much. They just don't usually get me or understand me... that space cowboy though, he read me pretty well. I should keep an eye on that and be careful. She would think about it for a moment and chuckle to herself.

Well if I do see him again, I hope he's not so hard on himself, after all, he seemed nice, and so did the Tuskens oddly enough... and the imperial, it's odd, I almost feel like I miss them. I wonder if we will ever get to see each other again. She shrugged and pulled out her book, she looked at it and once more began reading. But there was a hope inside of her that someone, anyone, that was interesting would interrupt her.
