Domino Reunion 4
"Hope we don't run into any more nexi," Echo mumbled.
"Indeed," Obi-wan replied as the two pressed on into the forests.
"Do you think there's intelligent life out here?" Echo asked.
"There might be. The Force is a bit unclear here. I can't sense much."
"Does that mean there's a sith or something here?" Echo asked concerned.
"There might be. But I doubt it. Probably just my focus being off. I'm just distracted with trying to get through the forest and helping Anakin."
"Yeah, but aren't Jedi supposed to stay unattached from others?" Echo asked, ducking under a low branch.
"It's hard sometimes. I've known Anakin since he was nine," Obi-wan answered as the two approached a stream.
"Really?" Echo said surprised.
"Yes. On Tatooine with my Master Qui-gon Jinn and Senator Amidala. Along with Jar Jar, Artoo, and Threepio." Obi-wan explained, examining the murky purplish liquid.
"I don't think that looks good to drink," Echo commented.
"I agree. Let's keep moving," Obi-wan said as he continued walking. They walked for another hour or so before Echo saw smoke.
"Sir, there's smoke up there!"
"I see. I sense life up there too," Obi-wan said. The two quickened their pace to get to the source of the smoke faster.
Fives sat in the dark with Anakin.
"Bounty hunters? Who would've guessed?" he mumbled under his breath. His fingers worked on the comlink. The mess of wires constantly confused him. He was never good with this stuff. Fives held a bright blue wire in one hand and a green wire in the other. He temporarily thought of connecting them.
"Green and yellow." Fives turned to Anakin, who had gave him the directions on the wires.
"Green and yellow, sir?" Anakin nodded ever so slightly.
"Got it." Fives slowly connected the two new wires. Static emitted from the communication device.
"Yes!" Fives cheered.
"Can anyone hear me?" Fives spoke into the comlink.
"This is CT-555, can anybody hear me?" Fives repeated while adding his CT number.
"Fives! It's Rex!" Rex's voice came through the broken static of the damaged comlink.
"Rex! General Skywalker is injured! We're on some planet! There are bounty hunters and General Kenobi and Echo have gone to look for help. There are abandoned droid ships here too!" Fives explained as fast as he could.
"Okay. We- track- er- signal. Stay- help-..." Rex tried to say but the static was ruining the signal.
"Rex? Rex!" Fives yelled before the comlink went dead.
"Shit!" Fives yelled.
"Now what are we gonna do?"
"Hold on," Obi-wan said holding his hand up to stop Echo.
"What?" Echo asked as he slowed down.
"Fives. I believe he has made contact with someone else," Obi-wan said closing his eyes.
"The Force. I can sense it," Obi-wan explained as he felt Echo's confusion.
"We should probably still get medical supplies," Echo pointed out.
"Yes. Let's continue," Obi-wan said and they continued to their destination. They were very close now. They turned around a forest entrance and saw the source of the smoke. Shops. A bunch of them. But everybody from dealers, to bounty hunters, to gangsters were all grouped into one scummy town.
"Oh fuck," Echo whispered.
"Act normal. We just want medical supplies. Nothing else," Obi-wan reminded.
"Got it." The clone and the Jedi walked into the midst of criminals in search of help for their friend. The two approached a beaten up shack with the word "Supplies" on the front of it in several different languages. Obi-wan gave Echo a nod and the duo entered the shop. Immediately the shop owner came to assist them.
"No doubt from Ryloth," Echo mumbled to himself.
"Hello. Welcome. How may I help you?" the Rylothian asked in broken English.
"We are in need of medical supplies for our friend," Obi-wan answered plainly.
"Yes. Medical supplies." The poor looking intelligent life form went into a back room and emerged carrying a basic first aid kit.
"This?" he asked holding it out to the Jedi.
"Precisely," Obi-wan confirmed. As Obi-wan paid the man a few credits for the supplies, Echo wandered around like a lost child. He peered out of a window on the east side of the building and caught a glimpse of something. A confused look crossed his features before he leaned farther to investigate.
'Smugglers. Bounty hunters. Pirates. Fuck.' Obi-wan had finished paying for the medical kit and called for Echo.
"Sir! This planet is crawling with bounty hunters, smugglers, and every other type of scum," Echo explained as they walked out.
"Then we'll have to be extra careful," Obi-wan replied as he scanned the area. They walked past the many lowlives that laid in the streets. The duo was almost to the forest lines when a few smugglers stopped them.
"Where do ya think yer goin'?"
