He then got up and knowing he couldn't do anything to get him there faster, he paced, cleaned, and made sure he had appropriate medical supplies to help her if the need arose. Kess had taken a medical frigate from the Jedi temple just in case she was hurt. A half hour later he ran to the bridge, came out of hyperspace and guided the ship down into the atmosphere. Gently bringing the ship down, he grabbed a food stick, jammed it into his pocket and practically blasted out of the ship.

Once his feet hit the ground he started running towards some broken trees to find a trace of her. He had landed his ship next to hers and knew that if Pawz was friendly then he would be able to sniff Miri out. That was out of the question though. Once he approached the trees. "Wholly kriffin mother karking Rache that monster must be huge!" then letting his feelings drift farther away he tried to feel Miri's presence in the force. After a few minutes pain, fear, horror, and uncertainty filled his mind. He was really confused by the uncertainty part of it but brushed it aside. Sprinting towards her he skidded to a sudden halt. His hands shot instinctively up to cover his ears once a planet shattering roar blasted through the air. Looking up north he noticed a giant dragon towering above the treetops. Its wings were folded loosely on its back in a relaxed way. The dragon's scales were small in comparison to his body size and his head was a little overly large.

Giant spikes made of bone curved down its back like giant gnarled teeth. Racing through the trees and up the mountains, his breath short and quick, he glided over rocks and sailed over a stream. Every muscle in his body tightened and his brain pulsed with horrible flashes of light each of a different length and brightness but all displaying the same mental image of something dark and dreadful; something with a mindset to kill and destroy and the looks of the devil himself.

And furthermore it was something that lived to die and suffer. The image reminded him of a pureblood sith with its steaming yellow eyes filled with no other emotion but hatred, thin red lips pulled back in a snarl revealing clearly it's rotting teeth and the things that set them apart from there human counterparts: the small skin flaps hanging loosely from it chin and cheek bones as well as the triangular bone jutting out from each side of his face. The extended eyebrow bone shadowed his eyes giving him a further menacing appearance and a large scar from his face ran across his neck vertically. He shook the images from his mind and tried to concentrate on the task at hand.

Nearing the top of the mountain he jumped up the trees using a force blast that left him shaking. The second his shoes hit the trees he instantly made a dash for the ferocious beast's tail. Letting his shoes slide across the dragons scales he ran up its tail and onto its back. It was when he reached his head that he noticed he was more than a hundred feet above the ground and was completely surrounded by sharp rocks jutting up towards the sky. If he lost his balance and fell he surely wouldn't make it off this planet alive and his efforts would be a loss. His head was spinning and his vision swayed leaving blurry spots throughout his line of sight.

Drey woke up his head throbbing and he blinked sleepily waiting for something to happen. His stomach turned and his arms shook with tension. As his eyes adjusted to the darkness he turned his head slowly craning his neck. It felt like something was wrong but he couldn't tell what it was. A small amount of pressure pushed through his head and it that second that the realization of an empty spot on the couch where Kess was supposed to be hit him like a pound of rocks.

Swiftly jumping up he threw on a robe, the billowing cotton circling him like a cloud. Drey flew out of the room and snuck down the hall as quietly as possible. He tip toed past the Jedi masters' rooms and practically jumped out of his skin when a door opened with a hiss. Stopping in the dead silence he waited to see if the small figure would notice him or not. A silhouette loomed in the hallway, a short body, large triangular ears, little tufts of hair and a withered oak cane stood still.

"Now going where are you. Sick and tired I am of you sneaking out." Drey replied "what do you mean sick and tired of it?" "hmm sneak out at one in the morning your friend did." Drey was ecstatic; he had a lead and an eyewitness. "Could you tell me where he went?" "Tell me he did not. Stupid he can sometimes be." Yoda stated sadly and slightly shaking his head. Drey was getting slightly annoyed and very impatient. "Hey look at that. That's the biggest man eating serpent I have ever seen!" "hmm a horrible actor you are and pulled that one out of a book you did. Older than me that trick is, but humor you I will." Yoda turned and gazed down the hall eyes wide and then turned back to Drey smiling and chuckling softly. "See it I did not"

Drey was just about ready to throw the Jedi master out of a window with how long he was stalling "I think I can handle myself with whatever I decide to spend my time on." "So if you'll just excuse me matser, for tonight."Drey took his chance and bolted down the hallway stride after stride until he reached the docking bay. Catapulting himself into his silver and yellow ship he slammed his fist on a few buttons and the next thing he knew the ship was sailing through the stars.

Trying fiercely to see clearly again he frantically rubbed his eyes only to notice that blood streaked his hand in a red glaze, trailing over his fingers, wrist and tapering off where his temple had touched his arm. Hoping that he hadn't punctured anything important he ran his fingers over his head and stopped when his fingertips met with the warm and thick blood dripping down his hairline. Kess ignited his lightsaber with a flick of his thumb and waited only a second for the dragon to roar; opening its cave of a mouth filled with hundreds of sharp crooked teeth pointing slightly towards the back of its large throat. In one flying leap Kess had jumped into its mouth and slid down its tongue the whole time holding his lightsaber above his head.

As Kess fell the top half of the giants jaw was sliced in half and the heat from the Jedi's azure blade catered the blood cells, leaving a giant scabbed mess. The dragon clamped down his jaws trying to eliminate the source of its pain only to screech again as the lightsaber was pushed through the top of its scaly head directly behind his eyes. Deactivating his lightsaber he slid down the dragon's throat and stopped himself at the top of its balloon like stomach. He thrust his lightsaber into the stomach liner and held his breath as a nauseous gas was let out and bones and flesh crumbled from the inside. Green acid leaked out and Kess knew that he needed to leave before the dragon tried to blow fire. Letting the force guide his hands he swung the weapon and cut a four foot slash through the dragon's stomach and skin allowing him to escape the creature's body. Bolting from the dragon's feet as it tried to gain balance he found Miri laying in a small patch of brambles only meters away from the dragons feet.

Paying closer attention he noticed the bits of fur entangled within the thorns. Wrapping one arm around her shoulders and back and the other under her legs he scooped her up and looked down at her body. Clothes torn, breathing uneven, and blood streaked scratches were just the beginning of problems that didn't seem as severe as they really were. -

As he approached her ship Kess noticed what he hadn't when he landed; the side was torn off and the dragons footprints lurking around it. That evil creature had torn into her ship before going after Miri herself. Then an unsettling feeling situated itself into his stomach. Kess remembered Miri's pet the korrina mix, the force sensitive dog, the same creature that hates his guts. Stiffening he waited for something to appear and with his thoughts racing, he tried to locate the medical frigate he had brought. Kess started to jog lightly towards where he remembered leaving his ship and as he approached he saw the silhouette of a large canine standing in front of his ship. Kess visibly paled at the sight of this animal.

"Get out of here you big ugly dog. And f.y.i if you attack me you're going to hurt your owner." Kess walked slowly around Pawz as he growled at the Jedi. Once the door hissed open and Kess walked in he made his way towards one of the beds and gently rested her down. Turning around he noticed Pawz sitting in the doorway. "Look mutt you can stay if you don't actually lay on top of her."

Pausing momentarily he watched Pawz's eye movement to see if he understood human dialect. Noting that he did a little bit but not fully he still continued. "Her ribcage is broken and if any weight is put on her chest it could puncture her heart." Breathing a sigh of frustration he knew that Pawz could not understand what the hell he was saying. Deciding to demonstrate and knowing fully that Pawz would understand when Miri was in pain it only took a couple strides before he was directly in front of her.

Pawz pulled his lips back showing a strip of his white sharp canine teeth and growled softly at Kess. A large calloused hand hovered over Miri's chest but kept his eyes on the canine the whole time, waiting for any type of reaction. As he got closer Pawz stood up and pushed his legs down slightly in a position that would allow him to pounce if the time arose when he needed to. Kess rested his hand on Miri's chest above her belly button and below her breasts and pushed down gently. Miri clamped her eyes down more and tried to roll away from the pressure but to no avail, as she hurt her ribs even more.

Pawz jumped up and lunged at Kess, trying to get a hold of the Jedi knight's arm with his powerful jaws. Large teeth white like the moon and glistening with his saliva. His red tongue held back closer to his throat and his lips pulled up and back, as to avoid hurting himself. Kess jumped back and had the breath knocked out of him as he hit the parasteel wall behind him and his feet slipping he rushed to regain his balance. He stood back up and kept a steady gaze on the canine pacing in front of Miri's medical bed and looking past him he noticed the Miri had lost consciousness. He stepped out of the room slowly and closed the door behind him. Letting it his eyes shut he leant against the cool metal surface and relaxed his tense shoulders and searched his boggled brain for his next plan.

A/N okay so this chapter is some 800 words over my last one not including the authors notes, so its extra long for my dear readers. :D I didn't really check over this chapter much so if there's any mistakes that you notice I am deeply sorry and would appreciate it if you told me of them so I can fix it.
