I have to be honest these first three chapters I had done for a while now, but I was too busy with school work to post them.

Chapter 2: Wookiee Hunt
Jack panted as he looked over his shoulder as he listened to one of the Trandoshans yelling and screaming in the distance. He glanced at his two companions in concern as his thoughts turned to their friends. So far, he, Hiccup, and Terras haven't seen any one of their friends since they split up from each other. It did take a while but they were able to lose the Trandoshans that were hunting them as they escaped into the thick brush.
The sun was about to set and they agreed that it was time to return to the hollow. It took a while as they didn't want to catch the attention of the hunters but they were able to return to the hideout just as the sun set. The three breathed a sigh of relief as they walked into the hollow and were greeted by Jinx and O-Mer.
"Are you all alright," O-Mer asked as he stood from the ledge. "Is anyone hurt?"
"We're okay," Jack answered as he sat down on the floor along with Hiccup and Terras. "Have the girls come back yet?"
"No," Jinx answered as he leaned up against a wall. "We haven't seen them since we separated."
Jack glanced over to the male Kiffar as he sensed his friend's worry for his twin sister. The white haired teen knew how protective Terras can be when it came to his sister, but it also went against most of the teachings that were drilled into them since they lived at the Temple. Jedi weren't suppose to form attachments, but the bond between the twins was undeniable.
Suddenly, they heard soft footsteps approaching and a second later Ahsoka walked into the hollow. Jack allowed a smile to appear before it disappeared as he took in her downcast expression.
"You made it," O-Mer said relieved as he and Jinx stood up. "We feared the worst."
_Ahsoka said nothing as she continued to walk into the hollow. "Where's Kalifa," Jinx inquired. The young Togruta stopped next to the fire pit and clenched her hands into fists.
"She didn't make it."
The news was like a punch to the face for Jack. Now the two may not have agreed on their version of survival tactics, but he and Kalifa were the ones who have been stuck on the moon the longest. He looked over at his friends and saw that they had the same shocked expression as his.
"She... She's dead," Jinx said in disbelief as O-Mer dropped his head onto his hands and Hiccup and Terras leaned back in disbelief. "I... I can't believe it. She and Jack have been here the longest and now..."
"Now we're all going to die here," O-Mer moaned as he leaned back on the wall. "It's only a matter of time."
A scowl formed on Ahsoka's face before she faced her new friends. "If it's only a matter of time before we die, I say we go down with a fight."
Jinx scoffed as he slid down wall. "That is suicide."
Jack narrowed his eyes before he stood up and went by Ahsoka's side. "No, I'd rather die on my feet, rather than continue to run away." He looked out of the corner of his eyes to see Ahsoka smiling in gratitude. "I don't know about you, but I am not ready to give up just yet." Terras and Hiccup smiled in agreement, however Jinx and O-Mer were not convinced just yet.
Suddenly, the group heard a loud ruckus from outside the hollow and everyone quickly stood to get into fighting stances. They relaxed slightly as Rapunzel and Merida stumbled into the hollow. It was what they were carrying between them that made them stop in shock. The two girls had Karesh's arms thrown over their shoulders and were dragging the unconscious Kiffar into the hollow. What made their shock apparent was the growing red spot on her right side.
"RESH," Terras shouted in shock as he bolted from his spot. He was careful to take his sister from his friends and into his arms. Karesh moaned in discomfort as she was carried to one of the alcoves and was laid down. "What happened?"
"Those damn lizards that's what happened," Merida growled as she started to pace. "One the hunters got a lucky shot, put two holes in her side."
"I've stopped the bleeding as best as I can," Rapunzel said as she kneeled down next Karesh. "But she's starting to lose too much blood. She's need proper medical attention."
Ahsoka's eyes narrowed in concentration as she watched Karesh's labored breathing and Jack, Hiccup, O-Mer, and Jinx come to stand at her side. An idea started to form in her mind as the seven friends watched their eighth comrade struggle to survive. "You said that every few days, they release new prisoners on the beach." Jack turned to nod his head at the correct information. "I say we attack that drop ship head on. They'll never expect it. That way we can have our means of escape and a way to get Karesh to help."
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, before Jinx and O-Mer shared a glance. "Is it worth a shot," O-Mer asked his companion. Jinx sighed as he crossed his arms. "Maybe it is." Terras stood up from his spot and walked over to the Cerean and Twi'lek. "If it means saving my sister, it's worth everything."
Later that night, Ahsoka led Jinx, O-Mer, Jack, and Hiccup down to the beach area and waited in the cover of the thick vines. It was decided that Rapunzel would stay with Karesh to monitor her progress while Terras and Merida would be there to provide protection. Terras and Merida had protested at first, but Jack pointed out that Karesh would need her brother and Merida was their best fighter in case the plan went south.
Soon the group of five heard the rumble of an engine and soon enough the drop off ship came into view. "Get ready, we'll have to be swift," Ahsoka said as she watched the ship.
"The drop point's not far," O-Mer informed her as he along with the rest of the group watched the ship as well. They waited until the ship started to hover in place before slowly descending to the ground.
"Now!"
Ahsoka rushed out from her hiding spot with the boys right behind her. The group ran up to some thick vines that were sticking out of the ground and used them as leverage to force jump onto the transport. Ahsoka and Jack landed on the window of the cockpit and glared at the pilots inside. They used that time to climb further onto the ship as one of the Trandoshans rushed out of the cockpit.
Soon a hatch opened up to allow the hunter to climb out and point his rifle at the two Jedi. Jack's glare intensified as he turned his head to the side to signal for Hiccup, Jinx, and O-Mer to attack. The hunter turned just in time to be kicked in the face by the Cerean before being tackled by Hiccup and Jinx. The three boys used that moment to pin the hunter to the left wing.
Jack and Ahsoka rushed to the hatch with Jack quickly jumping in. "We'll take the pilot," Ahsoka informed them just as Hiccup used his hand to clamp the hunter's snout shut before he could let out a distress call.
What she didn't see was that the Trandoshan was able to easily break free from the padawans grips. He threw Jinx and Hiccup against the side of the wing before grabbing O-Mer and throwing him halfway across the ship. The hunter quickly turned on the two friends and roared at them. Jinx and Hiccup saw O-Mer rushing towards them and both used the force to throw the Cerean at the Trandoshan just as the padawan kicked him again. Jinx tried to pin him again but was kicked away just as O-Mer tired to help out. The Trandoshan quickly spun around and wrapped his claws around O-Mer's neck. Jinx and Hiccup jumped onto the hunter's back and tried to pull him off their friend.
At the same time, Jack and Ahsoka quietly enter the ship and peered around the doorway to see the distracted pilot. They quietly entered the cockpit and were startled when the pilot quickly spun around and pointed his rifle at the duo. Ahsoka and Jack quickly shook off their surprise and started leaping around the cockpit just as the pilot fired his rifle. Ahsoka was quickly making her way to the pilot and was able to pin him against the control panel. Jack noticed that by Ahsoka doing so, she broke the steering in front of the co-pilot chair. The white haired teen was quick to find his balance just as the ship started to lean to the right. Jack had to duck as the pilot threw Ahsoka onto the control panel behind him. The hunter raised his rifle again and the two padawans were quick to dodge the bolts. Jack used the force to push the rifle to the side twice before the two teens force pushed the pilot half way out of the cockpit.
Jack and Ahsoka quickly had to cover their faces just as the controls started to explode and the ship spun out of control. They glanced at each other in worry as they heard a part of the ship break off. Meanwhile, with the ship out of control, the Trandoshan lost his balance and almost fell off the side of the ship before grabbing the hull in a death grip. O-Mer was left to dangle off the edge with Hiccup trying to pull him up. The hunter quickly grabbed a hold of the Cerean's legs, but Jinx jumped onto a ledge and proceeded to kick the hunter off. With one final kick, the Twi'lek was able to dislodge the hunter and watched as he fell to the ground.
Ahsoka and Jack were still in the cockpit trying to regain control of the ship when Jinx jumped onto the window. "Get out of there. Come on!" Ahsoka shook her head as she looked up at the Twi'lek. "But the prisoners... They'll die."
"Hit the release. Hurry!"
Jack quickly looked over the dashboard and pressed the top left button. Ahsoka and Jack quickly climbed out of the cockpit through the broken window and jumped off with Jinx, O-Mer, and Hiccup. They watched from a safe distance as the ship crashed onto the ground and broke apart. They waited for a moment before getting up from their crouched positions.
"That could've gone better," Hiccup said as he dusted dirt off his tunic. He yelped as Jack slapped him upside the head.
"Well, I guess we won't be escaping on that ship," O-Mer pointed out as he rubbed his neck.
"At least it's one less prisoner transport for the Trandoshans to use," Jack argued as he rubbed his shoulder.
"There's that positive note to go on," Ahsoka replied. "But, we'll find another way."
Jinx quickly joined the trio just as something broke off from the downed ship, then they heard a loud roar. They quickly turned to the wreck and narrowed their eyes.
"What was that," Jinx asked.
Ahsoka's eyes widened before she jogged up to the wreck. "A survivor." The group followed close behind and stopped a few feet from the ship. "It could be one of the prisoners they were dropping off."
They watched as a tall shadow stand up from the ground and turned towards them. Jack got into a fighting stance as the figure walked towards them. O-Mer narrowed his eyes as the figure came closer and closer. "What is that?"
Jack's eyes widened as he got up from his stance and stared at the figure. "Is... Is that what I think it is?"
The figured continued to walk toward them until it stopped in the moonlight. The figure was taller than the five padawans and was covered from head to toe in brown black fur. Thrown over his shoulder was a leather satchel that rested on his right hip. The quintets' eyes widened as they took in the appearance
"It's a Wookiee," Ahsoka answered in astonishment. The Wookiee let out a low growl before tilting it's head to the side.
After the disastrous attempt to commandeer the ship, the group led the Wookiee back to their hide out to hide from the hunters. Merida, Terras, and Rapunzel stared at the newcomer in surprise before the peppy brunette insisted that their new ally should sit down. The Wookiee stared at the still unconscious Karesh and made a series of growls and grunts.
Jack looked up at the Wookiee and answered. "That's Karesh, one of the Trandoshan hunters injured her while we were trying to escape. That's one of the reasons why we were trying to take the ship, so we could escape and get Karesh to help." He looked over at Ahsoka who raised an eyebrow in question. "What? My old master made me learn all sorts of languages including Shyriiwook."
The Wookiee nodded and sat down next to Ahsoka while making a series of growls and grunts. The Togruta tilted her head to the side as she translated for the Wookiee. "You're name is Chewbacca?" The Wookiee grunted in affirmation.
"Chewbacca, does anyone know you were taken," O-Mer asked with a bit of hope hidden in his voice.
Chewbacca shook his head as he made a series of grunts and growls while moving his arms above him.
"No," Jack translated. "But he says his home world is very close."
"It's not surprising," Hiccup commented as he fingered his braid. "The Trandoshans and the Wookiees live in the same star system, but having a bitter rivalry for many years doesn't really help matters."
"As interesting as the history fact is," Jinx said sarcastically. "His home world might as well be Corascant, we got no ship."
Chewbacca growled before shaking his head. He stood up and growled at the Twi'lek. Ahsoka listened to his growls and translated as the Wookiee sat back down. "He thinks he can contact his home planet if we find a way to transmit a signal."
"And how would we do that," Merida snapped as she crossed her arms.
"Exactly," Jinx agreed with the red head as he paced around the hollow. "What are we going to do, send smoke signals? We don't exactly have a transmitter lying around if you hadn't noticed." He finally sat down next to Rapunzel and leaned back against the slab Resh was resting on.
Chewbacca growled and grunted again as he lightly waved his arms. "Chewbacca says he can build a transmitter from the wreckage on the beach," Jack smirked as Chewbacca growled lightly. "Maybe Hiccup could help you?" He raised his hand before his friends could argue with him. "When it comes to weaponry, it might not be the best idea to let him tinker with the stuff, but I can't deny his hand at how well he can make communication devices."
Hiccup smiled in appreciation at the older teen's words which caused Jack to smile back as well. Terras, Merida, and Rapunzel couldn't deny their friend's words as Hiccup was very helpful with their communications whenever they were paired up with the brunette and his master.
O-Mer sighed. "Well, we can't just sit here," he pointed out to the Twi'lek.
"Fine," Jinx said resigned. "We'll do it the Wookiee way."
Right at that moment, a pained groan echoed throughout the hollow and everyone turned to the injured female Kiffar. Karesh's eyes squeezed shut for a moment then a pair of clouded green orbs appeared. Rapunzel stood from her spot next to the make-shift bed while Terras raced across the room and kneeled next to said bed.
Karesh let out a low moan as she took note of her surroundings and stared up at her twin brother. Her brows furrowed for a moment when she caught sight of fur out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head to the side and stared at Chewbacca.
"Either I hit my head harder than I thought or I'm looking at a Wookiee," Resh groaned as Terras helped her sit up so that Rapunzel could change her improvised bandages.
"Nope," Hiccup piped up with a smirk. "Still on this hellish planet."
"Oh," she said disappointed. "So what happened while I was out?" She hissed as Rapunzel peeled away the last of the bandages along with any dried blood.
"To put it simply," Jinx began just as Merida muttered under her breath 'here we go.' "We tried to hijack a ship from the Trandoshans but ended up destroying it and finding Chewbacca in the wreckage. Now, he wants us to go back to said wreckage so he can build a transmitter from the scrap."
Karesh stared at the Twi'lek for a moment before her eyes landed back on Chewbacca. "Can you really send a message to your friends?" Jinx threw his hands up in exasperation as Chewbacca nodded his head and grunted.
"If it's already agreed, the faster we get off this planet the better," she said before yelping in pain. Rapunzel was staring closely at the wound and noticed it had an inflamed appearance and poked at it. "I agree with Resh, her wound is starting to become infected and if it's not treated properly we're looking at big trouble," the brunette said softly.
The urgency of the situation hit the group hard as the need to escape the planet became even more evident. The group watched with worried eyes as Rapunzel teared another piece of her skirt off and tightly bandaged the wound. Karesh was slowly lowered back onto the slab and Terras pulled up the cloak his sister used as a blanket. It was decided that everyone would turn in for the night and send a group out to the wreckage the next night.
"NO! No, no, no, no, no!" Jack was pacing furiously inside the hollow as he waved his hands frantically. "Of all the stupid, idiotic, half-witted, reckless ideas I have ever seen, this would be at the top of the list."
Ahsoka was making a placating gesture as she tried to calm the white-haired teen. "Look, I know this is bad-"
Jack let out a sharp laugh as he crossed his arms. "Bad? This does not define the meaning of bad."
Merida snorted as she sat down next to Rapunzel. "And you would know what a bad idea would look like, wouldn't ya?"
Jack glared at the red head with unrestrained fury before he directed the gaze onto the Trandoshan standing in the entrance to the hollow and between O-Mer and Jinx. He knew that he should have traveled with the group to the wreckage to gather supplies, but Merida insisted on getting out of the hollow so Jack had complied and stayed behind instead.
Jack kept his glare on the Trandoshan as Jinx forced him to sit down far away from the rest of the group. Chewbacca and Hiccup sat shoulder to shoulder as they worked together to build the transmitter. Karesh was sitting up on her make shift bed with her brother by her side. The female Kiffar had dark circles growing under her eyes, sickly pale skin, fevered skin, and had a slightly glazed look in her eyes.
The group knew that their friend's condition was getting worse not only due to blood loss but also the infection slowly spreading in her wound. Everyone except for the hunter winced as Karesh let out a series of wet coughs and watched in shock as she spat out a glob of blood. Rapunzel got up from the floor and moved to Karesh's side. She grabbed a piece of cloth from a makeshift bowl filled with water and cleaned the sweat off her face. Ahsoka moved over to Chewbacca and Hiccup as the two put the finishing touches on the transmitter.
"How's it coming along," she inquired. Chewbacca let out a bark pjust as Hiccup connected two wires together. The scrawny teen nodded to his companion and the Wookiee pressed a few buttons on the console. "Come on, come on," Hiccup muttered as the radar started to move around.
"Well, something's working," O-Mer noted as the rest of the group leaned forward in anticipation. Disappointment soon crossed their faces as the radar zapped out and fell limp. "Blast it," Hiccup cursed as Chewbacca let out a growl.
"We've got a prisoner, we should be using him to our advantage while we have the chance," Jinx insisted as they all glanced to the Trandoshan.
"I thought the prisoner was the back up plan," Ahsoka asked with a hand on her hip.
"Well it's obvious we can't rely on that device," Jinx retorted.
Chewbacca looked up and growled at the Twi'lek while Hiccup had a look of offense on his face. "Hey!" Rapunzel went between the group and tried to play mediator. "Let's all calm down, we all knew that this was a long shot."
"No offense," Jinx reiterated, "but we just can't sit here any longer. Just look at Karesh, we don't know how much longer she can hold out."
Karesh weakly lifted her head up and glared at the Twi'lek. "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." At the end of her sentence, she let out a series of coughs.
"We have to wait," Ahsoka insisted.
"I agree with Jinx," O-Mer said hesitantly before growing more confident. "We have to act while we have an advantage."
Ahsoka moved to step forward but Jack placed a calming hand on her shoulder. He turned to the Twi'lek with a raised eyebrow. "Say we do it your way, what's the plan?"
"We can use the prisoner to trick the enemy into flying one of their pods down to us," Jinx started with a determined face. "Then we hijack the pod, fly up to their base, and take them by surprise."
Merida nodded her head as she crossed her arms. "That doesn't sound like a bad idea."
"Ahsoka," O-Mer started as he faced the Togruta. "You got all of us to believe in ourselves again. And, well, I believe Jinx's plan will work."
"Look," Jinx finally said impatiently. "Do what you want, but O-Mer, Merida, and I are leaving with the prisoner in the morning." With that said, the Twi'lek and Cerean turned away from the rest of the group with Merida hesitating for a moment before following the two.
Ahsoka looked downcast for a moment before sharing a glance with Jack. "Their hearts are in the right place. You know I can't let them go alone." Chewbacca let out a low howl as he looked up from the radar. "We're not going to be able to do this without you. We need your help." She looked over to the white haired human. "Your's too."
Jack looked over to Ahsoka before nodding his head. "As long as you've got my back, I've got yours." The white haired teen smirked as the Togruta smiled. "Besides you'll need someone to watch Red."
Ahsoka tilted her head and was about to open her mouth to question the teen. She was interrupted by Hiccup, whom had his focus back on the radar. "You don't want to know."
Chewbacca huffed as he nodded in agreement. Ahsoka smirked. "Who knows? Maybe our luck is about to change." Chewbacca then let a roar that caused Jack and Hiccup to chuckle.
The next morning, the team consisting of Ahsoka, Jack, Merida, Jinx, O-mer, Chewbacca, and their Trandoshan prisoner left from their hideout to begin the mission. Before Jack left, he pulled Hiccup to the side and told him to continue working on the transponder...just in case the plan went downhill. Karesh insisted on going but it only took the gentle words of Rapunzel to stay down and rest. Even though the Kiffar was usually a lot stronger than her human friend, she begrudgingly consented to her wishes.
It only took an hour to get to the beach and everyone could tell that Merida was itching for some action. Ahsoka stopped the group in a clearing and turned to everyone. "Alright, we better get started."
"Right." Jinx nodded as he turned to the bound Trandoshan, whom was being restrained by Chewbacca. "Time to call your friends."
The Trandoshan just hissed at the Twi'lek. "I'm not helping you whelp."
Merida scowled as she began to crack her knuckles and walked towards the lizard. Jack was quick to pull her back. Jinx and Ahsoka glanced at each other before the Togruta turned her attention to the Wookiee. "Chewbacca, we need him at eye level please."
As the Wookiee snarled and forced the Trandoshan onto his knees, Jack walked over to Ahsoka's side. "You're starting to enjoy this a bit, aren't you?" Jack smirked mischievously, causing the other teen to punch his shoulder.
The Trandoshan let out screeched protests before Jinx got his attention once more and waved his hand in front of his face. "You will listen to me." The Trandoshan let out a hissed laugh.
"No, I won't." Thus causing Chewbacca to smack on the side of his face.
Jinx scowled as he used the Force on their prisoner. "You will listen to me." Everyone smirked as the Trandoshan's eyes glazed over and stuck his tongue out as he hissed. "I will listen to you."
"You were our captive and now you've escaped."
The Trandoshan made a soft growling sound. "I was your prisoner but now I've escaped."
Jinx waved his hand in front of the captive's face once more. "You need to call a speeder to come pick you up." The Twi'lek crouched down to untie the Trandoshan as he repeated Jinx's words. Their captive activated his comm and the group listened as an annoyed voice asked where he's been. The Trandoshan just told his companion to pick him up.
As soon as the transmission was cut, Jack began to motion for everyone to find a hiding place in the brush. Jinx pushed their captive out in the open to put him in position. Jinx rushed back into the forest as a speeder quickly came into view. Merida leaned over to take a look and scowled.
"Tell him to get that stupid smile off his face," she hissed and Jinx nodded as he got the Trandoshan's attention. He moved his hand down his face and made himself look like he was frowning. The Trandoshan nodded and scowled before walking to the transport.
Everything happened so fast, Ahsoka jumped from her perch and kicked the driver. She had to duck as her opponent threw a wild punch, but was tackled off the transport. Merida and Jinx ran out from their hiding place and simultaneously punched their former captive in the face. O-mer and Jack quickly jumped into the out of control transport with the white-haired teen taking the wheel. Chewbacca jumped down from his perch and quickly punched the distracted Trandoshan unconscious.
Jack quickly brought the transport around and smirked at the group. "Hello, ladies and gentlemen." O-mer reached out and offered a hand. "Care for a lift?" Ahsoka just smiled at the duo.
Everyone quickly broader the small ship, and Jack directed the transport up to the large floating base. When they became leveled with the floating fortress, they caught a duo of Trandoshan hunters off guard. Jinx was quick to jump off and kick one away, while Chewbacca simply grabbed the other one and tossed him over the ship. Jack gave O-mer control of the transport and perched himself on the railing next to Ahsoka and Merida.
They turned around quickly when the hunter that Jinx kicked let out a distress call. Jack cursed under his breath as more hunters appeared. They all looked up when an enraged growl echoed across the deck. "Kill them," the alpha Trandoshan snarled. "Kill them! I want their skins!"
The young Jedi and Wookiee quickly rushed for cover when a couple of the hunters started to blast at them. Chewbacca flipped over one of the transports to provide more cover. Merida looked out of the corner of her eye to see one of the hunters rushing towards a transport.
"Oi," the red head said towards her Twi'lek friend. "Let's give him a lift." The two stuck their hands out and lifted up the transport with the hunter inside. They then tossed it towards the ones shooting at them, causing the hunters to scatter.
Chewbacca let out a roar and charged out from their hiding place. He began to grapple with one of the hunters as the rest of the padawans rushed out as well. One of the hunters tried to shoot at Jinx, but the Twi'lek used the force to push the blaster away. Merida jumped over her friend and kicked their opponent in the face. Jack and Ahsoka rushed towards one of the other hunters with the white-haired teen quickly stopping in his tracks. He used the force to grab Ahsoka and used their momentum to send the Togruta towards the Trandoshan. Ahsoka didn't wait a second and round-housed kicked the hunter unconscious.
The group of friends were so caught up in the fight, they didn't notice two more hunters appearing on the deck. It wasn't until the sound of blaster fire that Ahsoka and Jack turn to see O-mer shooting at the hunters from the transport. Jack looked out of the corner of his eye to watch as the Alpha shoot at O-mer. Merida and Jinx were able to finally knock out their combatant when the Alpha met his mark on O-mer. The Cerean had difficulty controlling the transport and crashed onto the deck, causing everyone to hit the deck. Everyone was dazed for a moment, but the Trandoshans were quick to recover.
Jack shook his head as he began to sit up, but stopped when he came face to face with the barrel of a blaster. He looked around and noticed his friends were in the same situation as well. The sound of the Alpha Trandoshan speaking made him look up.
"A valiant effort, little younglings, especially you, Togruta." Ahsoka scowled at the man as he hissed softly. "You will be a prized trophy in my collection. But I must thank you for bringing the Umbarran hybrid out from hiding." Jack growled softly at the mention of his heritage. The Trandoshan made no other comment as he laughed.
Before any other action was taken, the sound of a starship engine was heard. Chewbacca grunted and growled as he pointed up to the gunship-shaped aircraft coming down. The blast doors were open and everyone could see a small militia of Wookiee soldiers. It was the sight of two male teens that were with them that caught the young Padawans by surprise.
"You lot look like you could use some help," Terras called down to them with a slight smirk on his face.
The Trandoshans were not happy to see the ship and started firing at them. The couple of the Wookiees started firing back as the rest of them jumped down onto ship deck. The Padawans used the distraction to either kick, punch, or force push their capturers away. Chewbacca growled as he kicked out at one of the hunters and grappled with him.
The Alpha looked on with rage but had to move back when one of the Wookiees shot at the anti-aircraft gun. He roared as he watched his prey and their reinforcements slowly take out his hunting party before retreating back into the ship. Ahsoka saw this but glanced at Jack for a moment to see his reaction.
"Go," he insisted. "We got this."
She nodded before grabbing the attention of one of the Wookiees. "Hey, can you get me up there." He nodded as the Togruta backed up and he placed his rifle on the ground. He locked his hands together as Ahsoka leaped into his hands and was tossed onto the upper deck with the help of the force.
Merida watched this with uncertainty since she felt anger coming off from her friend. "Shouldn't we help her?"
"If Ahsoka needed our help, she would have asked," Jack said from his crouched position. "For right now we need to take care of these guys."
They turned around when they heard Chewbacca growling out in desperation and saw that his opponent had pinned him onto the deck. They watched as O-mer rushed out and grabbed the dropped rifle. The Cerean ran at the hunter and smacked the weapon onto the left side of his back. The Trandoshan cried out in pain and loosened the pressure on the Wookiee. Chewbacca lifted the hunter off of him the same time that Hiccup jumped down and kicked the hunter over the railing of the ship. Chewbacca stood up as he looked at the two teens in gratitude as the boys nodded at each other.
Merida, Jack, and Jinx were tucked away behind the cover of a downed transport as a couple of Trandoshans blasted at them. One of the Wookiees moved slowly out from cover and landed a direct hit at one of the hunters. The last stopped firing for a moment to look at dead companion. The young Jedi used that time to use the Force lift up the Trandoshan's cover and throw it away. The hunter had no time to run as the Wookiee blasted him.
As soon as the last Trandoshan fell dead onto the deck, everyone was able to breath in relief. The ones that were hiding behind the pods stood up and relaxed their stance. The peace didn't last long as the sound of doors being broken down caused them to look up. They watched as the Alpha Trandoshan screamed as he was thrown over the railings and onto the deck.
Both the young Jedi and Wookiees rushed over to the body and circled around it. They looked back up as Ahsoka appeared at the railings to stare down at them. Everyone stared at her in shock before Jack composed himself.
"I think it's time to go home."
The ride to Coruscant was a quiet journey as the Padawans who were stuck on the Trandoshan moon finally relaxed. The pilot of the ship, Sugi, was an acquaintance of Ahsoka's and provided medical aid for Karesh. She was now resting peacefully with stitches and a bacta patch over her wound. The Wookiees along with Chewbacca decided to accompany the younglings to Coruscant to make sure they were returned to the Jedi Temple.
When the ship finally landed outside the hanger bay to the temple, the Jedi smiled at the sight. Masters Windu and Yoda stood to the side along with a tall male Lepi, a tall bulky human male, a yellow-skinned Lannik, a female Twi'lek and male Mon Calamari. Merida, Hiccup, and Rapunzel smiled brightly as Jack and Terras helped Karesh off the ship. Two Jedi Healers rushed over to the duo and took the Kiffar from them. As they were passing by Yoda and Windu, they only stopped for a moment for Karesh to smile down at the green alien and to receive one in turn.
Ahsoka walked to Jack's side as Hiccup greeted the Lepi, Merida was embraced by the bulky human, Rapunzel kneeled down the Lannik's height, Terras walked to Windu's side with the Jedi Master placing a hand on the Kiffar's shoulder, and Jinx and O-mer talked to the Twi'lek and Mon Calamari.
"So what does it feel like to be back home," Ahsoka asked her companion with a raised eyebrow.
"Jackie!"
The two teens looked towards the hanger as a young human girl with long pale blonde almost white hair plaited in a thick braid and bright blue eyes rushed towards them. Following behind her was a familiar young human man and a male Kel Dor.
Jack grinned as his sister ran to him. "It couldn't be better." He stooped down onto his knees as the girl crashed into him and embraced him tightly. He let out a laugh he held her close and embraced just as tightly.
Ahsoka smiled at the scene before she walked away to greet Master Plo Koon and her own Master, Anakin Skywalker.
