"Deus?"
"Master!"
"Ah, guess we all survived." Asmodeus snickered and looked at the two of them, "Did you guys get killed by illusions too?"
"Of course not!" Eldra retorted, "How could you lose to an illusion?!"
"I saw… Anakin. And, Darth Vader. But I overcame my fears.
"How could I 'win' against those fuckers?" The tall man shrugged and complained, "One of them was powerful enough to rip open the universe with a punch and the other was… Well, he didn't bother using that much strength. I just died instantly without being able to react."
"What kind of test is that?!" Eldra couldn't help laughing, "The Force must really like you, huh?"
"Master, are you sure you're okay?!" Shmi looked up at his golden eyes worriedly, "Maybe we should leave?"
"We're already balls deep. We can't leave yet. Not till it's done." Asmodeus sighed and shook his head, turning towards the end of the cave that was now visible, "Besides, I didn't just deal with illusions. I met an old woman… A Force Ghost. The Master of Revan when he was still a Jedi. Later she became a Sith and had two pretty famous Apprentices: Darth Nihilus and Darth Sion."
"Wait, I remember… Wasn't that… The First Jedi Purge?!"
"Yup. Also kinda ironic that afterwards, she helped Meetra Surik kill her apprentices, then died fighting against the woman she bonded with so deeply… Uh, Meetra Surik ended up rebuilding the Jedi Order after that. At least if I remember correctly."
"Yeah." Eldra nodded and sighed, "It's like an endless cycle of death and rebirth. The Sith and the Jedi…"
"It is what it is." Asmodeus shrugged and pointed forward with his glowing red death stick, "Looks like it hasn't turned into a tentacle monster. At least not yet."
There was a simple-looking metal object with three legs splayed out evenly. A big triangular structure was also sticking up a little bit over Asmodeus' head. Considering that he was nearly 2 meters tall now, it was pretty big.
"What is it?" Shmi held her lightsabers up to illuminate the object a bit more, but she couldn't see any buttons or other methods to open the device.
"Obviously you have to use the Force." Eldra rolled her blue eyes and reached out with her left hand, frowning and pulling back, "It's locked."
"It's not locked. You're just not strong enough." Asmodeus snickered and placed his left palm forward, the mechanism creaked for a moment, then quickly opened up. Those long 'legs' spread apart until they were sticking up at a low angle. Then the triangular rim of the dark circular hole glowed bright blue as a big black ball floated up wards.
*Hummm~!*
"Ah!"
"Fuck!"
"Frack!"
With a loud noise that ball radiated blinding light and exploded with a flash! However, none of them were injured. Just had their vision temporarily blinded. Eventually their sight returned and they were able to see the beautiful galaxy in the center where the orb had once been. With a bunch of blue dotted circles all around it.
"It's a Star Map!" Shmi shouted in surprise!
"He told us it was a Star Map from the start." Eldra snickered and put away her lightsaber, taking out a simple Datapad. Then she released a floating ball that orbited around the hologram, scanning it and… Well, recording another hologram of the Star Map.
"Why can't we just take this with us?" Shmi wondered, but also started taking a recording of her own after putting away her lightsabers.
"We're not touching this thing." Asmodeus shook his head, "I'm actually worried about whether just recording it will leave any kind of weird viruses on your Datapads."
"It should be fine, Master. But just in case, I'll make sure to check later before connecting to the Holonet."
"That reminds me, you can't show this shit to anyone or tell people about it. The Galaxy is chaotic enough as it is… I don't wanna deal with the rise of the Infinite Empire."
"Fine with me."
"I'll do whatever you say, Master."
