Living with no regrets

Chapter 3: heroes.

Doc and the others ran to Alex's position, while Spaz and Kane covered them, but it seemed useless. Doc got Alex's helmet off, and examined the wound, he noticed that his captain was still breathing, his lips moving with unsaid words.

"Don't worry vod, I'll try to keep you alive till we get you real medical help," Doc said as he began digging through his pack, looking for anything to help his fallen brother.

"Damn it, there's no way we are making it out of here alive," Spaz said quietly, but everyone heard him.

"Nice optimism bro," Kane sighed as he took down a droid headed towards them.

"Kane."

"What?"

"Rollies…"

"…Shab," Kane turned around to see that Spaz wasn't kidding; he figured that was lost anyways, might as well go out with a bang right?

Kane stood up and took out the detonators from his belt and sighed, however before he could even activate one, he saw a cloaked figure jump in front of them and somehow push all the droids away. He blinked.

"Jedi?"

Angel had told her master what she felt, and he ran ahead of her to clear the way. Angel ran to keep up, but she wasn't the fittest of people, fact was, was that she was a fat person in a skinny person's body, and running for long periods of time made her sick. However when she puts her mind to it, and forgets how long she has been running there is little effect on her until she stops.

"Come on legs move!" she yelled as she pushed herself.

As master Soo sends the droids away from the small group, Angel slides in nearly falling on her face, but she smiled brightly and dusted herself off.

"Let's get him off this rock shall we?" she asked with her hands on her hips.

The troopers looked at her then nodded their heads. Angel got down on her knees and placed her hands on Alex using the force to stabilize him.

"Wow, he sure is lucky, still alive after a shot like that," she whistled, as Doc finished wrapping Alex's head.

Angel pulled on his arms, pulling him onto her back.

"Ma'am I think we can carry him ourselves," Kane said.

"I know you can, but this way I can continue to keep him alive until we get onto the cruiser," she said turning her head towards them.

"Yeah, that makes sense," Doc said nodding his head.

When you are about to die people saw your life flashes past your eyes but I guess my life wasn't all that eventful, cause it was over before it began. I saw a few things that I would always hold dear, my mom, man she is going to be so pissed off when I don't call, I wish I could see her one last time, tell her I'm sorry…or something…anything, I wish I could hear her sing again, maybe it would ease the pain in my head, let me die without pain…

Alex didn't know what to do, trying to wake up would hurt, and trying to sleep would hurt him to, he didn't know why, sleeping never hurt him before. He tried to recall what happened but all he could figure was that he was shot, and shot in such a bad place he was dying. How did he know he was dying? Well, he was seeing visions of his past flash past his eyes as he fades in and out. From the day he could remember, and even before that, him in his little pod, which was probably being used by some other brother, him eating his first solid food, in a half a year! That was when he was adopted by Cath Da, she named him, and took care of him whenever she had the chance, and no one really liked her for it, but for some reason it was in her blood to be motherly. Alex wondered what else he had done with his life, he played a prank on one Kaminoan, he and Spaz did, and they almost got reconditioned for it to, but once again Cath Da saved their skins, and then gave them one heck of a lecture, saying how her life would be empty if they had died, and that they should never do that again. Alex remembered when he met Zero, they hit it off immediately, the only difference between them was that Alex was adopted, and Zero had some tattoo on his back.

"I…..am….the best…" Alex struggled to say as he was laid down on the floor of the LAAT/I, Angel kept him steady with the force, all the while she was moving and rocking with the rest of them as they left the atmosphere, then everything was calm, and the landing onto the ship was also smooth.

"Quickly clear a space, I need room to place him on the stretcher," Angel said calmly. "Doc, get the bacta tank ready for him, he would need to be placed in it ASAP," she said all kindness gone from her face and her voice, replaced by the seriousness, of her job. "I will stabilize him until the machines can take over; I'm needed on the battlefield," she smiled, but you could tell she didn't want to go back there.

"Thank you commander," Drill said with a smile. The men spread out as the stretcher came into view.

Angel lifted her hands, and used to force to gently lift Alex off the floor of the LAAT/I to the stretcher in front of her, she kept her head down as he floated over, his head never dipping. As soon as he was secured Doc and the others rushed to get him to a medbay. Drill was the only one to stay behind. He sat down Next to Angel who was recovering from using the force for such a long period of time.

"Are you going to be okay?" He asked.

She took in a deep breath, and held her head. "I…I think so," she tried to smile but she was just in too much pain to force one out. Drill took off his helmet and then his glove, he had noticed how pale she was, and wondered if she was sick, he pressed his bare hand against her forehead then quickly pulled it back staring at his hand, on his fingertips there was a mix of blood and sweat, he looked back at Angel, but she was already headed towards another fighter.

"Wait, you can't go, you're hurt," he called out following her.

"Don't yell, I can hear you fine," she said covering one ear as she staggered forward.

"I wasn't yelling sir," he said, before he watched her fall, he ran to catch her and almost missed. He held her small frame in his arms and looked around. "Damn it, where the hell is everyone?" he asked.

Master Soo had finished up with the battle droids when he felt Angel weaken in the force, and he soon panicked. "I'm sorry baby girl, I have to finish the battle, but don't worry I'll send you help," he said out loud before he contacted the R2 unit that was in his fighter, telling it to go to Angel, and help her out. It responded with a pattern of beeps and then the ship took off.
