A Displaced Beast

Binx (oc) x Jedi!Reader

Warnings: Prompt is highlighted in red, reader is a relic collector jedi, Binx and his squad are all OCs, the beast is based off the Displacer Beast from Dungeons and Dragons, affectionate and teasing use of "Dinii" (lunatic), use of "Dinui" (gift) as a pseudo-nickname. Also it turned out long and I don't know if it should've been parts but here we are.

"Just be careful" your companion urged from behind you, busy watching your six "There's been so much creepy shit in here."

"This should be the room to find our target Binx," you mused looking at the etched letters and trying to make sense of them "I'm glad we didn't take your brothers with us"

"Yea, me too"

The other three commandos of Hallow Squad were outside, two at the temple enterance and one in the ship. They normally went all together but you had spent an entire hour convincing them out of it. You'd been in many of these disorienting buildings and knew the dangers. And you would be devastated if something happened to your team, especially Binx...but he refused to let you go alone - even when you pulled rank

"Alright, I think I've figured it out..." you mumbled.

Reaching your hands out, your fingers dug into the stone grooves. You tugged at the carving until the lines made the shape of feline eyes, then you grasped the next part and tugged at it until the mouth was easily recognizable. Just one more piece, but it was far too large for you to move it.

"Talk to me" came Nine-three 's voice over the comm, eager to hear results

"We're alive. Our Dinii is fighting rocks" Binx answered

"I am not a lunatic" you snapped growling as you tried to move the last piece

"I said Dinui, not Dinii"

You rolled your eyes, the obvious snickers from the line tossing him under the bus.

"Just get your ass over here and help me" you grumbled "This stupid thing won't move"

"I'll call in again in 10, watch yourselves"

Binx pulled away from his commlink and after one more glance around the area, and deeming it safe enough for now, he moved to your side.

"I need to move these lines to match up" you explained.

Binx was silent for a few beats then turned to you fully

"What lines?"

"They're right here" you huffed tracing them with your fingers

Binx ripped his helm off revealing his black wavy hair pulled into a low ponytail and his lips formed into a slight pout.

"Yeah, weird" his honey eyes settled on the etchings, taking in the image that was forming

"You mean, none of this was visible in your helm?" you gawked, gingerly taking his helmut and settling it on your head.

Binx nodded in response.

You huffed, the markings now gone as you looked through the visor. You took off his helm and cradled it against your chest as you directed Binx in his shifting of the rocks and the lines upon them.

The commando complied, letting out a soft grunt as he pulled with all his might. The last carved rock spun slowly until the lines locked into their space.

You took one full step back to exmaine the piece as a whole. Your gaze flitted from the ancient lettering to the now visible image. It was some fearsome looking tooka-like creature.

Its eyes were furrowed, lips pulled into a snarl with full teeth on display. Above its eyes were delicate ears, probably meant to be seen as pointed back, and from behind its head, tendrils? Your eyes narrowed in on the obtrusions seemingly coming from the back of the head. They were noodle like with disks at the ends, sharp, jagged lines poking out the centers.

"So...what's it supposed to be?" Binx called from his spot, having yet moved away.

"Some angry creature. Maybe a deity of sorts?" you wondered aloud

But just as you were about to call to your companion to step back, a clicking noise echoed in the room. The two of you froze in your places, heads shifting about in hopes to catch the sound's location before something bad occurred.

Out of nowhere, two pillars came rushing down at you. You looked up in fear, then threw your hands up and pooled all your strength into freezing their movements. Your knowledge and strength of the force came to aid you, the pillars and their sharp points freezing just above you

"I can't hold these for long!" you called to the trooper

"One sec, I'll pull the rocks back!"

Binx turned back to the image. Just as he flexed to move the rock, the mouth of the beast to caved in and a cloud of fog shot into Binx's face. He immeadiately began to hack and cough

"Binx!!" you called out through gritted teeth

The fog-like cloud soon coated the whole area, leaving you the only space free of it. Your deflective force shield somehow keeping it at bay.

But that is when you heard it, the snarl.

You felt your stomach drop as you anxiously glanced around. You couldn't deal with another issue. Not now.

It was taking everything in you to keep the shield up and holding the pillars at bay, and Binx was just dusted by some weird powder-smaug. You couldn't even hear his coughing anymore.

"Binx!" you yelled in a panic

No response

Your heart began hammering within your chest cavity. You were trained to resist fear, to carefully work your way through it's clutches and to settle your feelings back into a calm and managable state. But right now, fear overran your senses.

All of which got a hundred times worse when your eyes locked onto two glowing golden orbs from where your companion ought to be.

Your eyes were locked with those glowing orbs, the deep, powerful snarl hit your ears only a moment later. The fog was beginning to dissipate, but so was your ability to hold up the force shield. Your arms trembled with exertion, your legs beginning to wobble beneath you.

You watched as one large black paw stepped out of the cloud, then a second, an a-jar maw following suit. The orbs now had a formal face to it, and it was strikingly similar to the carving on the wall. Sleek black fur curved around a leathery dark nose and the golden eyes, thin pointed ears immeadiately pulled back as it let out a low, menacing growl. Its shoulders hunched as a second set of front paws and legs appeared behind the first. But that's when you saw the them. Your view turning skyward as those thin black string-like appendages seemed to sway weightless in the air above it. Each end had a flat flesh oval lined with sharp needle-spikes within them.

The creature stalked over, circling you as your mind raced to think up a way out. A way to signal the other men just waiting for a signal to come charging to your side.

You heard the creak of the pillars as they inched closer, you were losing your focus and with it your shield.

The creature's gaze flickered up then it charged you.

In a split second of panic, your arms flew to cover your face and your force shiled disappated.

You waited with baited breath for death, by crushing or by having been eaten by the creature. But when pain never followed, you peeked around your arms to find those same golden eyes staring down at you.

Your breath hitched. Had the creature helped you? Or had it delayed your death only to give you one of it's on choosing?

But it did nothing. It just watched you cautiously.

Slowly, you pulled your arms away from your face and let them touch the cold stone floor below you. Your closed your eyes, focusing inward to your inner strength and calling out to the force for assistance. You opened your eyes in time to feel fur meet your forehead and your feild of view to be taken up by the dark hued coat

The beast's eyes were closed and it leaned its head into yours, it remained stilled for a moment before it nuzzled against you.

Your right hand twitched as you brought it up to the side of its massive face, yet it let you touch its velvet-soft fur.

"Let me know what you are feeling" you whispered, more to the force than anything, yet it responded

A soft purr rumbled throughout it body while its aura flashed you in vivid colours of confusion, fear, urgency and hope.

Your brows furrowed in confusion, why would this creature be feeling this way??

Your hand caressed its cheek and it leaned into your minstrations.

"Let me get up" you ordered softly

The creature nodded against you and backed up, its thin tail whipping behind it as it glanced around the room. The action seemed overtly cautious for a creature that had bene lying in wait to attack...

The fog was disappearing and just as you saw the empty spot where you'd last seen Binx, the creature was nudging you hard enough to push you over.

The second it had done so, it stood over you. Containing you to under its legs, it twirled around studying the room again. It's aura filled with unease and a want to protect.

Your heart lit up at the emotion. If this creature hadn't been here before and now was, after Binx had disappeared - and now it wished to aid you...well you could only think of one explaination

"Binx" you called up to the creature

A moment later, it struck it head between its legs to look at you upside down

"Oh my force..." you breathed out in a stupour "Do you know what happened to you...?"

The creature shook its head.

It understood you perfectly fine and responded to your commando's name - you really had no doubt now.

"Binx..." you gasped out feeling your panic start to leave you and tears gather in your lashes "I'm so sorry"

Binx made a weird cry at you, although it sounded mournful, as he moved around until he could nuzzle against your chest.

"I don't know how this happened...but I swear, I'll fix it" you promised hugging his head to you.

He purred in response then pulled you upright on your feet, nodding towards the wall.

You gingerly walked over, avoiding the smashed pillars you'd once been holding up. There laid a flight of stairs leading downwards, and the relic you'd been hunting nestled right at the end of them.

Hesitantly, you traversed and plucked the orb in your hands, waiting for something else to occur. But nothing did. Instead, you brought it back up the stairs to find Binx waiting for you.

Binx nodded then swung his head toward the door before he began stalking towards it.

"If we leave, I might not be able to undo this!" you called, grabbing his tail.

He immeadiately spun around and swatted at you with a loud yowl.

"Sorry" you rushed out, promptly letting go

He huffed and swung the thin appendage away from your reach. His emotions sifted through worry, duty, and urgency.

"Alright," you conceeded in a whisper as you pulled your comm to your lips "Binx and I are returning with the target item. Be advised, Binx has been hit with some kind of effect and is currently...not himself"

"Affirmative, we are standing by. If you do not return withing 13 minutes, we'll come get you"

"Sounds great" you answered as you walked to the door "Alright buddy, let's get back to the ship.

"Where's Binx?"

You frowned as the commandos before you looked at you and then each other.

"What do you mean?" you grumbled

"Wasn't he coming out with you?"

You glanced to Binx, who stood beside you in his black furry-form, then back to his two brothers.

"Nine-three, I know he looks weird...but Binx's here" You patted Binx's head and he let out an unhappy grump

Both his brothers jumped looking around with their guns poised

"Lich, you better have those engines hot for us" Nine-three growled into his armband

"Been waiting, yeah"

You watched them with furrowed brows.

"How can you not see him? He's standing right there!" You rounded the boys and stood behind them.

Sure enough, you could still easily see Binx.

Then a thought dawned on you...

"Take your helms off"

"What?" "Wait, what?!" they sputtered, their heads shooting in your direction

You huffed and repeated youself.

The looked at one another then both removed their helmuts. A shock of red and blonde hair being revealed as they did so, the two looked at you with confusion.

You spun your finger, gesturing them to turn around.

They obeyed and then screamed, promptly aiming their blasters

"N-no! Boys, that's Binx!"

"That is not our baby brother" Nine-three yelled taking aim

"Get behind me" Butcher grabbed you and shoved your body behind his

"Uh...boys, I just walked out with him" you reminded patting Butcher's shoulder and imposing calm feelings "Lower the blaster"

Nine-three glanced at you and hesitantly lowered his own.

"Well kriff this place..." He breathed out

"Binxy-boy okay?" Lich called over the comm

Binx nodded, slowly stalking over to Nine-three and pressing his head to his brother's abdomen

"This is the most kriffed up shit..." Butcher grumbled his eyes wide as he watched the creature and his brother "I want to go home. Now."

"What are we going to do with him?" Nina-three asked with concern filled eyes "We can't take him back looking like this"

"I'll inform the council on the flight back, he's not a wild beast. Just looks like one" you sighed

The commandos frowned but agreed, informing their last brother of the situation as the four of you boarded the ship to head home.

On the way back to Courascant, you spoke in length to the jedi council about your trip, findings, and the unfortunate accident that occured to Binx. And while they assured you that they would help you bring him in and find a way to lift the curse placed upon him...there was no guarantee they actually could. And so, you were tasked with smuggling your feline-looking trooper

into one of the lower levels of the temple. Somwhere prying eyes would not find him and cause a stir while you awaited the council to find a way to end this strange happenstance.

"So... is Binx just going to be stuck like that?" Lich asked as the three of them waited in their Jedi's quarters, as told.

"I mean...it would be interesting," Butcher chuckled, but upon recieving a slap upside the head, then added "but it definitely has to go"

"The jedi will figure something out, won't they?" Lich looked at his brothers with a frown, then met their 'leader's' eyes

"I hope so," Nine-three grumbled "I don't want to have to fight the senate for him back"

"Back?" Butcher mumbled with furrowed brows "They'd take him?"

"Butch, do you seriously think they wouldn't?" Lich looked at the blonde with surprise, Nine-three following suit

"How the hell have you gotten through all the training with rotten brains like that?"

"Just lucky I guess" he shrugged in return

Nine-three was just about to smack his brother again when the door opened to reveal their jedi

"How's Binx?" Lich called jumping up quickly

You gave them an uneasy smile and reached out the door to pull their lost brother in appearing compeltely normal, missing only his helmut - which his brothers had with them

The three cheered and dove for him but were paused with a hand up.

"We have new rules in this squad" you began, pulling a chain from inside Binx's curiass with a charm on it "This cannot leave his person. If it does, he'll go back to that beastial form"

The other commandos all began to make protest but were stopped short again.

"This isn't a curse the council can lift easily - if at all. It took every single one of the masters to get this far. But they're all drained and exhausted. There's nothing to be done until the archivists can study the relic and site."

"This is good enough for me, brothers" Binx let out a sheepish grin "At least I'm not some weird, giant Tooka...that was so messed up"

Binx was quickly pulled into the middle of a hug-huddle. The commandos releived and happy to have their youngest brother back and looking normal.

You watched on happily, you had been really frightful during this whole ordeal and not only just for you but for them as well.

"Get over here, our dinui" Binx called as he reached out from his comfortable and loving prision to grab your hands and pull you in as well.

The 5 of you held onto one another, unsure how proceeding forward with Binx's new situation...but all of you were determined to make it work.

Once Marshal Commanders Cody and Fox were formally made aware of the situation, and after they both had a moment to calm down, both decided it was best to leave it underwraps in the jedi achieves only and not inform the chancellor of this strange development with one of the Commandos.

Too much stress and paperwork. Plus it was far too strange for their liking.
