Whew! Editing seemed to take forever on this one. Seriously, I started at like, noon, and was editing on and off ever since. It usually only takes me a few hours, not close to 8! Well, not really eight since I took breaks when my brain refused to brain properly at points. Still...

Anyway. I present to you nearly 16,000 additional words of Can One Displaced Hero Save the Galaxy?! The plot only moves forward a bit this time, I'm afraid. We do see a fair few pieces moving, but a lot more of the war is going to start happening in the background so that fleet battles and the like don't get too repetitive. On the other hand, the other type of 'plot' is served quite well. There's a lemon in chapter 96 that I think is probably the longest single such in the entire fic? Though don't quote me on that, as I didn't exactly check. As for the why...well you guys and gals did vote for the single most kinky of the Sith Girl options :-p.

A reminder, the art isn't mine! It belongs to OldHickoryArt and can be found here. It's also really only a placeholder. I'll likely attempt to make a version of Zavra myself at some point, assuming I can ever find the time to either relearn everything I've already forgotten about AI prompts or pick relearn everything I've undoubtedly forgotten about drawing on my tablet -_-.

As always, the new bits are attached to this post in various formats. Likewise, I'll be updating the Master Files in the Pinned Post shortly (after I make typo corrections curtesy of The Foreign Traveler's help!). There will also be a few Author's Notes in the comments, once I have time to write them up! Enjoy more of Displaced Hero!

Chapter 93: A/N 1: For those that recognized it...yep, I took inspiration from Cyberpunk 2077's biomods for some of Zavra's implants, though not all of them. Frankly, we see examples of nanotech in various eras of Star Wars...but it seems to be super rare. So here I went with the fact that is IS rare and Zavra's implants probably cost more than a Harrower would have even with Acina getting data the horribly unethical way. But that she was first a member of the Dark Council, then Empress, so she could in fact throw that kind of money at her personal pet project to make the perfect 'Hand.' A/N 2: So, I THOUGHT about going all gloomy and angsty for a bit with Zavra having to get over her trauma. Then I went 'you know what, nope. I have Harley Quinn as an example of what her personality would be like.' So I skipped the angsty doom and gloom and presented you straight with a dose of Chaotic Sexy. Which is what I'm calling Zavra's actual alignment. Highly intelligence but...differently sane, and with a lot of Horny Energy.

Chapter 94: A/N 1: Not a lot to say here, honestly. Other than that I told you Sasha Belphont wasn't entirely random :-p.

Chapter 95: A/N 1: So the Hutts are properly dug in now, in places at least...but they also just got cut off from the outside. Hopefully the tactics described here make sense to most people. I'd say everyone, but someone ALWAYS argues about the soft sci-fi fleet tactics... A/N 2: Rissa Mano is a canon character, but we only see her once, early in the Clone Wars. She fit what I wanted here well enough, particularly with her stated skills in piloting and engineering, so I coopted her ;-).

Chapter 96: A/N 1: So, Izuku is still Izuku, which means that I did need to address the moral ambiguity inherent with Zavra. I didn't want to spend a ton of time with them agonizing over it, though, so I condensed it down into a single reasonable conversation rather than drawing it out forever. A/N 2: Yes, they added Zavra into things fast. But that's mostly because of her situation. They can't really get rid of her, they both find her attractive, and they already have a multi-partner situation. I debated over this, considering if I should drag it out for them to get to know her more, but ultimately decided doing so wouldn't actually improve the story. As I said, her alignment is essentially Chaotic Sexy. She's not light, or dark, she's just whatever her Master wants her to be. With a heavy dose of passion/lust as part of her basic personality. She'll get plenty of character development going forward, but her very nature sort of demanded a quick basic resolution which... A/N 3: ...I was honestly extra okay with because it let me push forward with Padmé and Sabé too. That scene at the end was, if you didn't catch on, influenced heavily by the lust Zavra was radiating in the Force. Without that to push them, Sabé wouldn't have done what she did in semi-public, nor would Padmé have so easily and completely fallen into subspace in an echo of what Zavra was doing. Mind you, if they were horny for Izu in the first place, it wouldn't have done much of anything to them. But they already were to some extent, so it gave them a firm push of sorts. Now they need to actually have a talk/confront possible lust/feelings for him between at least themselves, as well as try to figure out what exactly Izuku/Aayla/Mei/Zavra's relationship IS.

Is izuku ever going to use his lighsaber crystal to cast battle meditation at specific battles in Hutt space even though he's not physically there?

WhatAFungi

Welp…the relationships are all cumming together quite nicely. Great chapter, loved the nsfw scene.

Novus's Fanfiction Works

Probably not, no. The only way he'd be able to do that would be to send his lightsaber off with someone else to use the crystal as an anchor. Given how deeply bonded most force users are to their crystals, doing so would likely never even occur to him.

Zai

I really want Izuku to explore the force more and maybe make some of his own discovories. Maybe Zavra can help him with some of the trouble he's had or to learn more because of her unique way of using the force.

Novus's Fanfiction Works

Honestly, I'd love for him to spend more time on the Force as well, particularly with what is coming together at Ossus in their new academy. The problem is the in only having so much space to work with :-p. Izuku has a lot going on, and trying to go into everything I could want would slow the pace of the story to a crawl. That said, he will get at least some exploration of the Force from exposure to Zavra.

Zai

Ahh, well then, here's to hoping, as unrealistic as it is, he'll have some downtime between wars to improve himself. Be it either because there is literally a time gap between them where CIS might have to figure out how they're approaching the league or he can leave the starting fights to his now more qualified and experienced army command (extremely unlikely because Izuku is Izuku).

Zai

I also think Izuku isn't above the transhumanism route, if and when Mei figures it out. Especially if it is more of an uplift of existing biology than outright replacing parts of himself.

tomIrenicus

Oh no, now there's two of them (affectionate)

Novus's Fanfiction Works

He'll start leaving more and more of the large scale combat to his minions as he gets enough minions. Though, as you say, he's Izuku, so he'll never leave all the special operations and such alone. Even if he technically SHOULD as the leader of a major faction. As for the Force stuff, hopefully I'll be able to find a place for him to spend a fair bit of time at the Ossus Academy, both teaching and learning. It's something I have noted down to do, but I'm not sure exactly where it will be in the story. It's also a free floating element that could get axed if I don't find a place. Hopefully it will work out :-). It's technically not likely above transhumanism, but he doesn't really need it either. The thing with sufficiently powerful Force Users? That sort of thing mostly becomes pointless. Zavra's speed and power helped her keep up with him, but only because she's using a similar form of Force Speed. As for the other uses (beyond...recreational...) the Force can heal, purge toxins, and extend lifespans. So most of the reasons for transhumanism are a bit iffy in the case of a powerful Force user. He'd be more likely to embrace it for others, like Mei, Padme and Sabe.
