Chapter Two - Jedi Traitor
"Alright Cain" My Master said "Scout the area"
"Yes Master" I began to walk toward the line of giant Fungi on the hill in front of the dead troopers.
Commander Ro was severely injured, so Aayla tended to his wounds.
"Spartus!" she shouted at me "Lightsaber on..."
"Ah yes, sorry Master" I was about to turn it on, but I thought I'd better not argue. I could sense a disturbance up ahead. Didn't feel like a Jedi presence. In that instant my hearing beat my jedi senses to the realisation that there were Droidekas approaching, I couldn't mistake the noise of them rolling towards me anywhere.
"Master, a little help?" I shouted behind me
"Already on it, my young padawan" She replied "Lightsaber on, Spartus!"
"Right, sorry" I unsheathed my emerald blade once more. The Droidekas were now shielded and firing, I was pretty proud of my deflecting skills - Destroyer Droids fired a lot more rapidly than your standard Battle Droid. I was blocking them with ease whilst my excellent Master leapt from fungus to fungus so that she could sneak in behind the droids and destroy them.
I was beginning to sweat as they edged towards me a footstep at a time. Where was she? I felt like I'd been stood there for years.
Ro began firing his blasters at the droids, my arms were getting tired.
Finally, she leapt down from a tall mushroom-like plant, she looked like she'd been in a fight of her own. With a landing roll, she stuck her hands through the Destroyers' shields and dropped thermal detonators under each of them. They turned to address her with laser fire, but were greeted instead by a beep and a large explosion that destroyed them both.
Aayla fell to the ground, I hadn't noticed that she was covered in grazes and cuts, she had been moving so fast.
"Master Secura, are you alright?" I asked, hastily moving toward her
"He was right, there's a jedi out there. He pulled me down and gave me a beating, I didn't pursue him."
"Why not?"
"You were about to be cut to pieces by lasers, my young padawan"
"I was on top of it!"
"Is that why you asked for my help?"
"Alright, but you should have gone after him all the same" I helped her up and put her arm over my shoulder "Did you recognise him?"
"No he was cloaked, he had a blue saber, his presence felt familiar though" I looked down at her leg, there was a chunk of wood sticking out of her thigh.
"Master, we have to get you off planet" I told her firmly "No arguments, you and Ro need to get to a ship with a decent medical facility"
"If I go, you'll be joining me... I'm not leaving you unsupervised on the surface" I just gave her a look of disappointment, she knew I was capable, she just wouldn't let me do anything. A squad of Clone troopers approached them.
"General Secura!" Their leader shouted "We have a shuttle ready for departure, by request of Commander Ro" two clones broke formation and picked up the wounded commander
One of the clones approached me "Follow me, we need to get the the ship fast if we want to avoid the battle."
