Blocking the Emperor's lightening had been excruciatingly painful, but Starkiller was use to such pain. Though not all at once. But he had to hold on for Juno's sake. For the sake of the rebels. They were counting on him and he couldn't fail now. He wouldn't fail now. When the pain became too much for him to bear, he closed his eyes and waited to be overtaken by the lightening. He wondered what death would feel like. What would happen to him after death? Kota had mentioned some people becoming one with the Force but with all he had done, Starkiller very much doubted that would be his fate.

Suddenly, the pain stopped. The former apprentice to Darth Vader opened his eyes slowly and looked around. This wasn't the space station. It looked like a planet. But was it real? Spotting a tree, he leapt over to it as quickly as possible and hid in the branches. Exposure in an unknown terrain could mean death. He closed his eyes and focused, reaching out through the Force to try to sense if everything he saw was real. It definitely seemed to all be real. The trees, grass, animals nearby, the people, it was all real. The question now became where was he.

There didn't seem to be an Imperial presence on this planet so that was good for him. Bad if it was a Hutt controlled planet. Deciding to stay close to the shadows until he knew more, Starkiller slowly made his way down the streets, keeping the hood of his outfit up to keep his face hidden. There was something about this world that left him uneasy. He didn't like it.

I still have my lightsaber and access to the Force. I can fight if need be... He just hoped to the Force that Juno and his allies were safe. If anything had happened to Juno... The thought made his heart clench and he forced his emotions down. He couldn't be distracted right now. He needed to focus. Deal with the situation at hand. Then try to find Juno. He could deal with asking for forgiveness from the rebels later.

"If we're being truthful, I'd rather be here than about to die on that space station. Don't get me wrong, I knew I wouldn't live if I did that. But I just...it felt too soon to be the end for me." He looked around the lobby of the complex and lowered his hood. "Maybe this is the place I have a better chance at proving that I've changed...at least to myself."

A faint grin formed on his face as Leia mentioned not conning him. He had a feeling she was right. He would try to do the right thing from now on without being conned into it. For Juno and Leia, as well as his new blind master Kota. Even if Kota wasn't here.

"Well, I'll see you around then Leia." He dipped his head slightly before turning to the stairs and looking at the key he'd been given. He read the room number and started on his way up. He'd examine the room, settle in some then meditate a bit. He was still on edge after the unexpected arrival and figured that some calming down would do wonders for him.

"It makes sense, even knowing you're to die, I doubt many people would want to go to it if they had an option to live and prove themselves as changed."

True, Anakin had had a hard time adjusting because he had accepted his death, but he was adjusted now and that was good. And even making friends which Leia was quite happy about. After Tahiri had left, Leia had worried about her youngest son so the fact that he was making friends at school was definitely a good thing. And so she had faith that Galen could adjust here, to become the man he wanted to be and not the puppet Vader had used him as.

"I'm sure you will. Don't hesitate to ask if you need help with something." Smiling to Galen one last time, and then left the Complex to head back to the apartment she shared with Han and Anakin. Seeing Galen made her miss Luke, if only because he was a face from her past, someone she had known, even if it wasn't that long. It made her miss her brother, wonder how he was doing in their own world. She knew he'd be fine but she still did miss him. But no matter, if the Seal brought him, it brought him, if not, well, she'd continue to persevere. It was what she did, after all.
