Scarlett stepped on to the planet Christophsis with Ahsoka at her side. She was finally becoming an apprentice! Scarlett looked around. She and Ahsoka were on a war-torn street, full of rubble and potholes. A few meters away were Master Kenobi and Master Skywalker. They were standing next to a Holo-Table.
Ahsoka walked up to Master Skywalker, and Scarlett followed. "I'm Ahsoka Tano," Ahsoka said.
Scarlett turned to Master Kenobi. "My name is Scarlett Winters. I'm your new Padawan." As Obi-Wan Looked over his new apprentice two pieces of something on her back and two Lightsabers on her hips both with black handles and a DC-17 just above her butt.
"But that means..." Master Skywalker started.
"I'm your new Padawan," Ahsoka finished.
"There must be some kind of mistake," Master Skywalker said, "I didn't ask for a new Padawan."
"Master Yoda specifically said that you were to be my Master," Ahsoka explained.
Master Skywalker turned to Master Kenobi. "I have a feeling you had something to do with this," he said.
"Maybe," Master Kenobi replied.
"Face it, Skyguy, you're stuck with me," Ahsoka said.
Captain Rex, who had just walked over, started laughing. Master Skywalker glared at him, and he put his serious face back on.
"Enemy troops are approaching, sir," Captain Rex told Master Kenobi, "They have put up a Ray Shields, and the cannons cannot breach it."
"I'll take care of the Ray Shields," Master Skywalker told Master Kenobi, "You stay and guard the cannons."
"That's fine with me," Master Kenobi replied. "But hurry, Anakin," he added, "We're running out of time."
"I'm on my way," Master Anakin said, and he raced away with Ahsoka at his heels.
"Well, my new Padawan, it's nice to see you again," Master Kenobi said, "It looks like you'll be performing the mission with me. I trust that they've taught you to fight droids?"
"Yes, Master," Scarlett replied.
"Good. Our mission is to protect the cannons until Anakin can take the shield out," Master Kenobi explained, "I need you to stay and protect the cannons. This is your first battle, so you need to be careful."
"What about you Master," Scarlett answered.
"Don't worry."
Scarlett and her Master headed back to the cannons.
So the plan went like this: Master Skywalker and Ahsoka were going to knock out the shield. Scarlett and her Master were going to slow the droids down as much as possible.
Scarlett, Master Kenobi, and Captain Rex were on the balcony of one of the buildings. They were waiting for the shield to pass over them.
Finally, they were in. Scarlett and Master Kenobi Force-jumped down on to the unsuspecting droids, while Captain Rex and his clones zip-lined down to the enemy. Scarlett landed in the middle of a circle of droids. She ignited her lightsabers and spun around, chopping the heads off of five droids at once.
Then the lasers came. Scarlett was forced back by a wave of bullets. She spun, deflecting lasers left and right. Captain Rex and his men were right behind her. They backed up into an open-air building. Whenever a droid got too close, Scarlett would slash it in half, or a clone would shoot it in the head. But they were vastly outnumbered.
"Retreat to the cannons!" Captain Rex called, "Protect them at all costs!"
As the clones backed up to the cannons. She heard a clone yell, "Where's the General?" Scarlett looked around. She couldn't see her Master anywhere. Where did he go. She was at war within herself whether or not to go look for him, but was ripped out of her thoughts when a pained yell from a clone that was hit in the chest. She quickly stepped in front of the clone skillfully deflecting all of the blaster fire coming at her. While she was deflecting them other clones had enough time to drag him back to the cannons. put one of her lightsabers away then pulling the DC-17 from her back and started firing away while deflecting other fire heading for her
As that was happening (Obi-Wan's PoV)~~~~~
General Loathsom roared in anger and flipped the table. "You're stalling!" he shouted.
"Nonsense," Master Kenobi continued calmly, "arrangements must be made if you are to take custody of my men."
"Seize him!" General Loathsome yelled. "If you do not order you troops to stand down, General, then I will be forced to destroy you!"
Master Kenobi looked up. "Truthfully," he said, "I was hoping your shields would be knocked out by now..."
As if Master Skywalker had heard him, the humming of the shield suddenly stopped. The force field began to melt away, leaving the droid army defenseless to the Republic's heavy cannons.
"Too bad," Master Kenobi told General Loathsom. With that, Master Kenobi flipped up and over the droids. He smashed two together and then put General Loathsom in a headlock, using him as a shield.
"Don't fire!" General Loathsom choked out to his super droids.
Obi-Wan was receiving a transmission.
"Master Kenobi," the voice said, "we have breached the Separatist blockade. Reinforcements should be arriving momentarily."
Overhead, the first Republic reinforcements were flying in. The were safe. The battle was over.
After the battle, Scarlett and Master Kenobi walked to met up with Master Skywalker, Ahsoka, and Master Yoda. when the clone Scarlett saved stopped them and asked if he could talked to Commander Winters for a minute. After he asked Obi-Wan nodded and walked to the others
"Thank you, for saving my life Commander Winters" Said the Clone as he saluted Scarlett
"One don't salute it bothers me, two not a problem what is your name? Where is your squad?" Scarlett asked waving at him to stop saluting.
"Sorry ma'am. My name is CC-7634, I'm a Lieutenant, but my squad calls me… called me Watt they did not survive the attack" as he relaxed a little and looking down at the ground
"Sorry didn't mean to bring that up" she yelped while waving her hands in front of her
"No it's fine you didn't know we're expendable anyway right." Watt Stated
that was when Scarlett stranded up and tensed and looked down whispering "no you are not don't ever say that again when you get assigned me then I will do everything to protect you from dieing and I promise you a will get stuck with me"
taking a step back surprised then tilting his head asked " what are you sayin I will get stuck with you?"
" I will ask Obi-Wan if I can get you assigned to me wherever I go with in reason" she smirked at Watt.
Then they picked a different topic to talk about.
Obi-Wan's PoV
"Need our help, the Hutts do," Master Yoda said, "Captured, Jabba's huttlet has been. Go and rescue him, you must."
"I don't like it," Master Anakin said, "Dealing with the Hutts is never good."
"Anakin, we must do this," Obi-Wan replied, "The Hutts control the Outer Rim highways. They could help us win the war. And we definitely don't want the Separatists to gain control."
"Fine," Master Anakin agreed, "But I still don't like it."
"Our scouts followed some of Jabba's bounty hunters to an old monastery on Teth," Master Kenobi continued, "We think the huttlet is inside. We also need someone to go negotiate with Jabba."
"we'll go find the huttlet," Master Anakin said, "You and your padawan can do the negotiating."
"Very well. We'll leave immediately."
Master Anakin and Ahsoka boarded a ship with some of the clones to take them to Teth, while Obi-Wan was walking over to his padawan and the trooper that asked to speak to her. Stopping they stopped talking and bowed/saluted Obi-Wan
bowing back saying "Padawan Winters get ready we are going to Tatooine"
she bowed again and ran off as the clone walked away
As Scarlett's and Obi-Wan's ship jumped to Hyperspace she asked over her com with Obi-Wan "Master I have some questions, can I ask you?"
"go ahead little'un" Obi replied
"Can I get put in charge of a squad of clones directly so we can work together" as she pushed buttons puting R-1 in control of the ship
Obi confused and surprised by the question "Why?"
"because I could start working on leadership and get to work with them more efficiently"
"I see. I will see what I can do for you. What is your next question"
Scarlett giddy with glee automatically before switching to a serious face after hearing the last sentence.
" Why does Master Skywalker dislike Tatooine?"
"This is something you will not under any circumstances talk to him about got it." Obi-Wan commanded with a hardened voice
"Yes Master" she replied solemnly
"Him and his mother were slaves before my master and I found him but his mother did not survive when Anakin found her a few years later."
"oh" she replied sadly with tears in her eyes
Few Hours Later
As Scarlett's ship emerged out of hyperspace, she got her first look at Tatooine. It was a large planet, and seemed to be made completely out of sand. In the distance, the planet's twin suns shone brightly.
A few minutes later, Scarlett and Master Kenobi landed next to Jabba's palace. It was a large, brown building made of cylinders. Jawas ran around the outside, and Master Kenobi had to shoo them away from their ships.
A huge, gaping door opened in front of Scarlett, and a bronze protocol droid and two guards walked out.
"Weapons, please," the droid requested. Master Kenobi surrendered his lightsaber, and Scarlettfollowed suit.
"This way, please." The droid led them through the giant door and into the darkness.
The inside of Jabba's palace was dark and dirty. There were mysterious shadows everywhere, and Scarlett could feel the stares of strangers.
The protocol droid led Scarlett and Master Kenobi to Jabba. He was in a large room full of bounty hunters and smugglers. There were a few Twi'leks dancing and music playing.
Jabba sat at one end of the room. The protocol droid introduced them and the negotiations began.
Scarlett looked around the room, which resembled a dirty underworld Coruscant nightclub. Drunk outlaws stumbled around. Smoke filled the air. A few girls were flirting with a group of guys.
Scarlett looked in one of the corners of the room. A figure shrouded in shadow stood there, with a gun in his hand. That wasn't unusual, except for the fact that he was pointing it at Master Kenobi...
"Master, duck!" Scarlett shouted as gunshots filled the air. She shoved Obi-Wan out of the way and the round slamed into her shoulder and threw her to the ground and crawled behind the cover of a fallen table. Her Master was right behind her.
"Scarlett, are you ok?," Master Kenobi asked alarmingly, "let me looked at that."
"No, it's fine I can work through the pain?" Scarlett asked. She winced as a bullet splintered the wood of a nearby chair. "The droid has our lightsabers."
"Follow me," Master Kenobi said. He jumped up and over the table. Scarlett followed, and saw that her Master had jumped the shooter and taken his gun. The shooter had head-to-foot armor on, so Scarlett couldn't see his face. Before Master Kenobi could unmask him, the shooter fled.
Scarlett and Master Kenobi couldn't catch him before he fled the planet in his ship. Scarlett thought they should chase him, but her Master said that they must finish negotiations. So they went back inside to talk to Jabba.
Jabba's room was full of wood splinters and panicked people. Master Kenobi told Jabba that the shooter had fled, and the negotiations resumed. Scarlett had a feeling that the kind of thing was not uncommon.
After a a few more minutes, the negotiations were done. Jabba had agreed that if he got his son back in one planetary rotation, the Republic could use the space highways that he controlled. So Master Kenobi and Scarlett thanked him and went back to their ship.
At the ship, Master Kenobi had received a message. Master Skywalker was in trouble and needed help on Teth.
"Padawan you think you can handle another battle, on Teth?"
"I can do it Master I am fine."
Scarlett and her Master were off to battle.
Scarlett was nervous. Even more nervous than she was in pain. She was going to fly her own Jedi Starfighter into battle. She had done well in her pilot training... but still with her shoulder it's going to be hard.
Scarlett was waiting in the hanger of one of the Republic's starships. She, Master Kenobi, and the clone reinforcements would be flying into battle shortly after she received care for her shoulder. Then they would punch through the Separatist blockade and land on Teth. Then they would finish off the Separatists and make sure that the huttlet, which had been found by Master Skywalker and Ahsoka, got to Tatooine safely.
Watt walked up to Scarlett. Scarlett's master had gotten Watt assigned to her "Are you ready, Commander Winters?" he asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be," she answered. Scarlett climbed into the cockpit of her starship, which was painted Green and blue. Scarlett liked it because it reminded her of her lightsaber.
She saw Master Kenobi get in his own ship, so Scarlett turned her starship on. It purred to life, ready to lift of at a moment's notice. She heard Master Kenobi give the all-clear over her headset, and they were off.
Scarlett soared out of the hanger and into the biggest battle she had seen in her life. There were vulture droids everywhere, and so many lasers that it seemed to be raining sideways. Almost immediately, Scarlett could hear the clones over her headset. Calls of "I can't shake 'em!" and "Look out behind you!" filled her ears.
Scarlett dodged a vulture droid and spun around to dodge another. She looked around for her Master. There. He was still heading to the surface, with a few clone ships around him. Aliura flew over and fell into formation. They were receiving heavy fire, and out of the corner of her eye Scarlett saw a clone gunship get shot down. She turned away and focused on the path ahead of her. She spun and shot at a vulture droid. The droid exploded. That made Scarlett feel a little better.
She and her Master were going through the atmosphere. They touched down beside a huge battle on the monastery's landing platform. Scarlett jumped out of her cockpit and ignited her lightsabers. The battle was over so fast it was almost funny. The clone reinforcements that Scarlett had arrived with decimated the droids. While Scarlett, Watt, and the clones were finishing the droids off, Master Kenobi went out to look for Asajj Ventress, who was apparently trying to kill the huttlet.
Scarlett Master came back about twenty minutes later. Scarlett was performing first aid on a trooper that had been shot in the arm. All that was left of the droids were smoking scraps of metal.
"What happened, Master?" Aliura asked Master Kenobi, as she finished bandaging the clone's arm.
"Ventress got away, but Anakin and Ahsoka are on their way to Tatooine with the huttlet," he reported, "I hope they don't run into any trouble on the way there."
"I hope so as well, Master," Aliura said. She stood up and walked over to Master Kenobi.
"We'd better clean up," he said, "We'll have to be heading back to the ship soon."
"Yes, Master," Scarlett replied, and ran off to help another clone.
So here's the summary of what happened: Master Anakin and Ahsoka's ship was shot down. It crash landed on Tatooine, and they had to walk through the desert to return the huttlet. Apparently, Count Dooku had tricked Jabba the Hutt into thinking that the Jedi had captured his son. So when Master Skywalker went to Jabba's palace after dueling Count Dooku, he was going to be killed. But then Ahsoka came with the huttlet and returned him to Jabba. So Jabba and his huttlet were both happy. But then Jabba still though that the Jedi had stolen his son, so he was going to kill Master Skywalker and Ahsoka. Then Senator Padmé Amidala called with proof that it was actually Count Dooku and Ziro the Hutt that had kidnapped Jabba's son. So Ahsoka and Master Anakin completed their mission. Scarlett had even heard a rumor that Jabba's son had been sad to see Ahsoka leave.
So Ahsoka and Scarlett both returned to the Jedi Temple. Needless to say, the were both exhausted. Their Masters let them take a few days break before their next mission. But no matter how tired she was, Scarlett was excited for their next mission.
She was a Jedi Padawan, and proud to be one.
After the Break
Scarlett awoke to the soft brightening of the lights in the Jedi Temple. Every morning, the lights would slowly brighten, mimicking the rising of the sun. It was a very peaceful way to wake up.
Scarlett sat up and rubbed her eyes. She thought for a second. Wasn't she forgetting something? She thought for another second. Then she remembered. Today, Scarlett and Master Kenobi would be traveling to a clone medical station on the Outer Rim. The Malevolence, a Separatist starship, was threatening the medical station with its deadly ion cannon. Master Skywalker and Ahsoka were already on their way to help the medical station. Scarlett just hope that they would make it in time.
Scarlett hopped out of bed and changed into her usual clothes, which were a black and dark blue sleeveless robe that reached her knees and combat boots. She threw her cloak on as well and raced to the hangar, where her Master would be waiting for her.
When Scarlett arrived, she was greeted by Master Kenobi, Commander Cody, and Lieutenant Watt . They were both preparing for their rescue mission to the medical center. Scarlett helped them pack supplies and weapons.
When the preparations were finished, Scarlett, her Master, and the clone troopers all boarded the Republic starship that they were taking to the medical center. A few minutes later, they were off.
Scarlett and her Master's starships arrived at the battle just in time to see Master Skywalker and his clones take out the Malevolence's ion cannon. Scarlett cheered with the clones as the Separatist's secret weapon was blown to bits.
But the battle wasn't over yet. The Malevolence's main weapon may have been destroyed, but the ship still possessed the guns and vulture droids of any Separatist starship.
Scarlett watched the battle out of the window of the bridge with Ahsoka, Master Skywalker, and Master Kenobi. The two sides were evenly matched. Just when the Republic seemed to gain the upper hand, when Watt spotted something odd
" Hey Letty a small ship just coming out of hyperspace, straight into the battle."
"Wait what!" Scarlett stated confusingly
Ahsoka looked at the scanner. "It seems to be... A Naboo ship?" She looked questioningly at Master Skywalker.
Master Skywalker turned to one of the clones. "Get me in contact with that ship," he ordered.
"Yes, sir," the clone replied. He pushed a few buttons. "We're in," he said.
"Naboo ship, this is a Republic starship," Ahsoka started, "Identify yourself."
A hologram of a young woman materialized. "This is Senator Amidala," she said.
"Padmé!" Master Skywalker exclaimed, "What are you doing in the middle of a battle?"
"I was sent these coordinates. They must have been given to me wrong," she answered. Suddenly, the hologram shook, and there was an odd clicking sound, followed by a rumble. Senator Amidala's hologram looked around.
"What's happening?" Master Skywalker demanded.
"I'm being pulled in by a tractor beam!" Senator Amidala replied, "The Separatists must be planning to use me as a bargaining chip. You must continue the attack!"
Senator Amidala's hologram began to flicker in and out then blacked out.
"They're jamming our transmissions," Ahsoka explained.
Master Skywalker and Master Kenobi looked troubled. Finally, Master Skywalker turned to a clone and said, "Call a cease fire."
Almost immediately, the Republic ships stopped their flow of lasers. The Malevolence was damaged, but still functional.
"We must go rescue the Senator," Master Obi-Wan said.
"I agree." Master Skywalker replied, "Somebody's got to save her skin."
As Master Kenobi and Master Skywalker began to walk away, Scarlett asked, "May I come with you, Master?"
Master Kenobi glanced at Master Skywalker. He nodded.
"Yes, you may," Master Kenobi replied, "But you must stay close to me at all times."
"Yes, Master!" Scarlett agreed, and followed her Master to board their ship. Scarlett stepped onto the Malevolence. She, Master Skywalker, Master Kenobi, Watt, and 5 clones had docked at the emergency airlock and had boarded the ship. They were ready to begin their mission: rescue Senator Amidala.
As they ran off Watt and a few clones stood guard at the docking airlock
Master Skywalker's intercom beeped with an incoming call. Ahsoka's voice came through.
"Master, we have located the Senator. I'm going to stream her to you."
"Anakin?" Senator Amidala asked.
"Padmé! Are you alright? Where are you?" Master Skywalker questioned.
"I'm on the run from the droids with another prisoner. we're fine, but I don't know for how long."
"Ahsoka," Master Skywalker started, "locate them and find a way for us to meet up."
"According to our scans of the ship, there is a large chamber directly between you and the Senator. You should be able to meet there," Ahsoka answered.
"We're on our way," Master Skywalker said. "Padmé, did you hear that?"
"Yes. I'll be there," she said.
"Good luck, Master," Ahsoka added, and the line went dead.
"Let's go," Master Skywalker said. He raced towards the meeting place, Scarlett and Master Kenobi at his heels.
Soon enough, Master Skywalker, Master Kenobi, and Scarlett made it to the large chamber. It was filled with trains transporting supplies to the various parts of the ship. The cavern was filled with the sound of clanking wheels and train whistles.
The Jedi scanned the cavern.
"I don't see them, Anakin," Master Kenobi remarked. They looked for a few more seconds.
"There!" Master Skywalker exclaimed. Scarlett looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw Senator Amidala, a young girl no older than 6 yrs old maybe in padawan gear and she was gripping her side, and her droid, C3-PO, retreating from several battle droids.
Scarlett and the two Masters Force-jumped their way towards the Senator while Scarlett aimed and fired off one round. Two of the droids shot at Master Kenobi and Master Skywalker.
"No! Don't do that!" the other droid exclaimed, but it was too late. The two Jedi Masters deflected the lasers and sent them straight through the two battle droids.
"I knew that was a bad idea..." the third droid sighed. Then was hit with Scarlett's Blaster shot
Senator Amidala the young padawan and her droid were forced to retreat as the droids drew nearer. The Padawan pushed C3-PO onto a train, but he slid off with a cry of, "AHHHHH!" and fell to a train on a lower level. Senator Amidala quickly jumped onto the first train followed by the clone. She was safe, for now.
"Padmé!" Master Skywalker shouted. He jumped onto a train riding parallel to the Senator's.
"Anakin!" Senator Amidala replied.
A few droids stationed above the railway spotted her. "Fire!" the droid in command ordered. A nearby superdroid shot its cannon at the track ahead of the Senator. The laser left a smoking gap in the train's railway.
"Anakin! The bridge is out!" Senator Amidala called.
"Jump to me! I'll use the Force!" he answered. "You have to trust me."
Senator Amidala looked him in the eye. She slightly nodded. The Senator jumped, and Master Skywalker guided her towards himself with the Force. The Senator safely landed on his train. while the padawan grabbed it but then cried in pain and slipped and fell to the train below
Scarlett and her Master had been watching onboard a higher train.
"Nice catch!" Master Kenobi called to Master Skywalker. "I'll fetch the droid. Scarlett you get the padawan"
As Scarlett jumped to the train was on she was walking until she saw the padawan saw that the Padawan was shaking her head and looked up and then picked up her hood that fell off her head and pulled it on. Scarlett took out her blaster and the Padawan flitched Scarlett felt bad and then after a pause handed her blaster to the Padawan and said "we need to talk later here's a gun for you, ok?"
The Padawan just noded and took the blaster and fired at the droids above while Scarlett deflected the fire that was coming at them. After the two destroyed the droids Scarlett wrapped her arm around the Padawan , while the Padawan yelped almost dropping the blaster, and Scarlett force jumped to her masters train to where her head suddenly spun to look at Master Skywalker. Did she just glimpse Master Skywalker and Senator Amidala... kissing? She looked back then shrugged it off as seeing things. She turned around to see that she didn't let go of the Padawan and blushed heavily and let go, then to see Master Kenobi was already Force-lifting C3-PO towards them.
As Scarlett watched, she heard a rushing sound. Turning around, she spotted a train turn a corner and head straight for the droid.
"Master! Lookout!" Scarlett called, but it was too late. C3-PO was hit by the train in mid-air and carried away. His screams of "Stop me! Please!" quickly faded away.
"Blast! That's not good," Scarlett's Master said to himself. He turned on his com link. "Anakin," he said into it, "I got separated from your droid."
"3-PO!" Aliura heard Senator Amidala exclaim.
Master Skywalker sighed. "I'll take care of it," he said reluctantly. "We'll meet you back at the Twilight," he said to the Senator.
"No! We can't leave yet," she exclaimed. "I overheard Grievous. Their hyperdrive is almost repaired."
"We're already headed in that direction," Master Kenobi said, "So, we'll make certain that the hyperdrive stays offline."
Just as they were leaving to go to the hypercore room the Padawan whispered "my name is Ember ."
to were only Scarlett heard her and smiled at the Padawan and mouthed later, then looked at the blaster the Padawan was holding and stated factually sounding "That Blaster will not do let me find your lightsaber." Ember shook her head and said "I don't have one it was blown up when the droids captured me." Scarlett looked at her then bent down to hug her and said "I am sure that we will find you another one" then picked up a droid blaster and gave it to Ember.
Shortly afterwards, Scarlett, her Master and the Ember arrived at the control center. Inside the dark room were two battle droids tapping away on the control panel. At first, they didn't even notice the two Jedi and the clone.
Suddenly, the lights turned on, and a menacing voice said, "Hello there."
Scarlett, Master Kenobi and Ember spun around. General Grievous was perched above the doorway. As the lights came on, three rows of battle droids marched in. Three droidekas also rolled in, surrounding the Jedi and the clone.
"General Kenobi," General Grievous growled. "Did you really think that I would leave the hyperdrive unguarded?"
"Anything is possible. You haven't exactly impressed me today," Scarlett's Master coolly replied.
General Grievous evilly laughed. "Kill them," he snarled.
The battle droids immediately began firing. Master Kenobi sent a droideka rolling down one of the columns of droids, and Scarlett did the same on her side and deflected the blaster fire from her and Ember . Master Kenobi tried to do the same to General Grievous. The General caught the mid-spin and flung it to the side. However, Ember , Scarlett, and her Master were already out the door. Master Kenobi threw a sarcastic two finger salute over his shoulder to General Grievous.
As they retreated, Scarlett heard one of the battle droids remark, "That was impressive."
General Grievous's shout of outrage could be heard throughout that whole level of the ship.
Scarlett and Master Kenobi were running through the ship, with General Grievous hot on their heels. Master Kenobi had tried to contact Master Skywalker, but the droids were jamming their transmissions. All Scarlett and her Master could do was make it back to the ship and hope that Master Skywalker and Senator Amidala were coming.
Master Kenobi Force jumped onto a train, and Scarlett quickly wrapped her arm around Ember then followed. She could hear General Grievous' metal feet clanking on the hard floor not far behind her.
General Grievous jumped onto Scarlett, Master Kenobi, and Ember 's train. He started sprinting towards them, slashing through anything that got in his way with his stolen lightsabers.
General Grievous slashed and parried by the Jedi, but Scarlett, her Master and Ember were able to jump down to a lower train as Ember let out a pained hiss because she took a round to the thigh and collapsed to her hands and knees, Scarlett picked Ember up and held her bridal style.
They barely made it in time. Obi-Wan was deflecting lasers back at the droids while Scarlett carried Ember.
Once safely inside, the four Jedi, two droids, the Senator, and six clones all traveled towards the Republic's strong fleet.
When the droids aboard the Malevolence tried to go into hyperspace, the ship crashed into the moon and exploded. deflecting lasers had a strong suspicion that Master Skywalker had something to do with that.
After the Twilight docked with the the Star Destroyer clone medics attempted to take Ember to the med bay to check her but she suddenly pushed them back and crawled behind Scarlett grabbing her thigh, who watched the entire thing along with the occupants of the Twilight. Scarlett's face changed to puzzled when Ember hid behind her Scarlett asked " Ember what's wrong?" Ember whispered "N-no k-keep them-m b-back. c-can you t-take me tto w-where you are g-going pp-please." Scarlett looked at Ember then to her master who wore a confused look, but then realizing when he heard Ember's voice he knew why. "Scarlett take Ember to your quarter's and look at her."
"yes Master" Scarlett replied then grabbed a medic bag from a clone that offered her his and strapped it to her back then grabbed Ember and carried her to her quarters
Scarlett's Quarters
Scarlett closed the door behind them and then set Ember on her bed. Scarlett asked Ember to remove her cloths over her injured areas so she can treat her while Ember was doing that Scarlett went to put down her weapons and look for cloths for Ember. When Scarlett returned she went into mother bird mode, the cloths for Ember she set them down on the bed. Taking off the med pack and opening it she looked up to see what she needed to treat Ember s wounds she grabbed a few patches of Baca and then applied them to the blaster wound Ember after cleaning them on her thigh and then grabbed gauze and applied it to the series of stab wounds on her abdomen. Shaking her head wondering who would do this to her as Scarlett looked at all the old wounds. Trying to start a conversation with Ember while she was bandaging her up asked "where are you from, how old are you?"
"I was captured and my Master killed on a recon mission to a planet?" Ember whispered
"Oh, I see sorry about your Master?" Scarlett startled by Ember s previous answer
"It's fine." Ember whispered holding back tears remembering her Master being cut down defending her from the Droids.
Scarlett saw the pain in Ember's eyes and and on her face, she reacted the only way she knew how and hugged her and whispered in Ember's ear that it was ok to cry that she was here for her. Ember after hearing that broke down and sobbed clinging to Scarlett. Scarlett rubbed Ember's back saying "shh shh it's ok I am here for you I won't leave you shh shh." then Scarlett started to sing a calm and soft song to Ember who finally let go before she fell asleep Scarlett had her put on different cloths.
When Scarlett started to walk out the door like she had sensed her leaving Ember started to cry and thrashing, quickly closing the door and running to Ember side and hugging her and humming lullaby , Ember ook woke up and cryingly said "don't *hic* lea *hic* ve me. *hic* Ple *hic* ase"
"Shh shh shh. I won't leave to go back to sleep" Scarlett hummed to Ember
After a few minutes Ember reluctantly let go and laid down drifting off to sleep Scarlett left a her spare comlink on the bedside table grabbing her lightsabers and attached them to her belt again but left her saber staff on her dress. She walked up to the side of the bed Ember was on and quickly finished checking her out for internal or external wounds then kissed her forehead and Ember sleeply opened her eyes Scarlett whispered "I will be back I need to go to the bridge stay here there is a comlink on the bedside table for you to contact me if you need me. Okay?" Ember noded and went to sleep again as Scarlett grabbed the medical bag and left for the med bay to refill the bag and head to the bridge.
Star Destroyer's Bridge
When Scarlett stepped on to the bridge she looked for her master for a few seconds before spotting him by the Holo-terminal walking over to him she bowed her head quickly and explained the situation with Ember then went on to explain that she wouldn't let anyone be me touch her. Obi-Wan looked at her stroking his beard and thought for for a second and then said "Well if she is a padawan then we will have to drop her off at the temple."
"Master we can't." Scarlett replied
"Why is that Little'un?" Obi-wan asked
"She has attached herself to me it was hard enough to get here without her crying. Every time the door opened she would wake up and cry."
"Fine but where will she sleep?" Obi-wan asked quizzically
"She could stay in my quarters I have a feeling that she would sneak into my quarters if she was not in there and later I will take her to the Medbay for them to check her out for injuries."
"Fine she can stay with you, but you have to care for her." Kenobi said quizzically
"Good well it looks like you have another clone on you squad. For now I will explain it to the council. go back to your quarters and take care of Ember and then go to sleep. You need it " Obi-Wan said smiling under his hand
