We ran through the forest and only saw escape pods. "Where have they all gone?" Bastilla asked rhetorically as I shook my head. "I don't know." I said quietly. I skidded to a halt as the others did the same behind me. "What is it?" Bastilla whispered as I narrowed my eyes trying to see ahead. "There's a force sensitive ahead." I whispered as Bastilla slowly nodded. "Yes I feel them now. But there's also two others there." She commented. "I feel them too." Juhani agreed. We moved closer and saw a man being held to the ground by one man while another cuffed him. "Alright let's move out there's gotta be more around here!" The man who cuffed him ordered as they pulled the force sensitive up. "They're republic soldiers!" I whispered. The man holding the force sensitive let go to reach for his comlink when the force sensitive began running off. "Hey!" The man with the comlink yelled. His partner shot the force sensitive twice in the back killing him. Bastilla gasped as the two men turned aiming in our direction. "Come out now!" I sighed standing up with my hands raised. "The others too!" Bastilla and Juhani got up with their hands raised as well. "Stay put! Corporal, cuff them." The man ordered as the corporal nodded and slowly began walking towards us. They had their weapons aimed at us the whole time. The moment the corporal got within a foot of me I jumped at him grabbing the barrel of his rifle and yanking it from his surprised grip. I threw it back to Bastilla and punched the man twice in the face then I turned him around and grabbed him wrapping my arms around his neck and head. All of which happened in a second. He tried to wiggle free to no avail. The commander glared aiming at me but holding fire because of the hostage. I blinked surprised by my own actions. I…how did I do that? "Lay down your weapon!" I yelled. He stood there glaring at me. "Do you really think you can walk away from this? Surrender while you have the chance!" He yelled as I began squeezing the hostage's throat suffocating him. He tried to gasp for breath but received none. The commander cursed and laid down his weapon. "Juhani?" I asked looking back. She was already walking over to the commander. When she got close to pick up the rifle he suddenly pulled out a pistol noone had seen and shot at Juhani she yelled out and dropped to the ground. I growled and held my hand out. He blinked and began coughing trying to swat away something by his throat. I squeezed my grip of his neck through the force harder. His face began turning purple as he fell to his knees grabbing his throat. "I don't think he's a threat any longer." Bastilla said beside me but I ignored her and squeezed harder. She looked over. "I think he's had enough!" She hissed as I looked over. "You're right." I nodded and turned back to him. I squeezed my hand into a fist as his eyes shot open wide. He fell to the ground dead. "What did you-" Bastilla began but was cut off by my hostage's neck snapping. "What are you doing?" She yelled as I ran over to Juhani. She hissed rolling on the ground grabbing her stomach. "Hold still." I urged her grabbing a medpac. Bastilla came running over and kneeled beside her. "STILL!" I yelled as she stopped and looked at me. I stabbed the needle into her gut and injected her. She hissed as I yanked it out and threw it to the side. "Can you stand?" I asked as she nodded and stood up. I looked to the body of the force sensitive and sighed.

"What was that you did?" Bastilla yelled as I looked over at her. "What?" I asked as she shook her head. "You choked that an through the force!" She yelled as I nodded. "Yes I did." She sighed. "You must be careful of the dark side." I waved them on as we kept walking. "Well if what you've told me is true it doesn't really matter right now we just need to survive." She shook here head. "It always matters. It's what separates us from the Sith." I looked back. "Well right now we're apparently being thrown in the same boat as the Sith so I'm not sure if it matters." She shook her head in disapproval. "It does it always does." Juhani nodded her head. "Bastilla is right we must be careful or-" I held up my hand. "Wait." I listened closely. "Hear that? There's a landing pad nearby."

We hid in the tree line around the clearing. In the clearing there were ten soldiers who sat around a fire obviously on break and a landing pad with a freighter landed with it's ramp down. "That looks like the Ebon Hawk." Bastilla whispered. I narrowed my eyes concentrating on the minds of the soldiers. You are going to walk out into the forest. All of them stood up and began walking out into the forest. "Good job." Bastilla said with a nod. We ran out and boarded onto the ship.

We ran into the cockpit as Bastilla sat in the pilot seat and I sat in the co pilot seat. "Alright this ship can get us off planet and maybe even to Manaan where we can refuel then go to Dantooine." I looked over. "Why Dantooine?" She sighed quietly. "So we can find somewhere to rest and think. After all it's the obvious option so the republic may not look there." I nodded. "It Is a shame that no one else is here though…" She trailed off looking down. "Maybe not." I muttered as she looked over. "What do you mean?" She asked. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Reach out. Feel every living being. Feel their minds. I concentrated and suddenly felt all the force sensitives. Come this way. I whispered in all their minds. Then before we knew it people crowded inside of the ship. I opened my eyes and looked to Bastilla who looked shocked. "Let's go." I said nodding to her she opened her mouth but unable to speak, dumbfounded. Then he nodded. "Y-Yes let's go." She finally said closing the ramp.

The ship began to lift off the ground and above the trees. The ship shuddered violently as Bastilla growled. "Blast! Sorry!" Then the engines roared to life as we zoomed through the sky and out of the atmosphere. I looked out the viewport and saw there were cruisers orbiting around the area where the pods crashed. "Time's run out." I muttered as they adjusted their courses as though on cue and opened fire on the forest. Everyone was silent. The ship was absolutely filled to capacity, there was barely any room to stand let alone walk. I sat in place watching out the viewport as the ship was illuminated by the red flashes from the guns. "An orbital bombardment…they really want us all dead." Juhani whispered. "It's a good thing we're not down there." I said shaking my head. "Entering hyperspace. Let's get out of here." Bastilla announced as the stars streaked past and we left Kashyyyk. I doubt anyone would ever go back after that.
