"I HATE THESE THINGS!" I yelled as I ducked some blaster fire from a huge mining droid.
We were in the hallway, just outside the room the Ebon Hawk was in. I swung my virbro-sword at the droid, "What I would do for my lightsaber right now!"
"Can't you do any forcey thing on it?" Ayden asked.
Oh… right. Hehe?
I shot my hand out and sent… lightning? It destroyed the droid, though.
"What in the blazes?" I muttered, looking up to see everyone looking at me, "It worked, didn't it?" I huffed.
But, I was confused. Why on earth (figure of speech) did I do lightning? I meant to disable the thing! Not fry it to droid bits! I mean, how could you get 'SITH Lightning' mixed up with 'Droid Disable.' They are like, two opposite things! Well, kinda.
"Anyway, open the door so we can get on the ship, eh?" I said. Great, Nadia was looking at me suspiciously. "Oh come on! Do you want to stay here and get killed by the sith?"
"The girl has a point." Atton said.
"Ok…" Nadia relented, "But when we get on the ship…"
"Yeah, yeah, I tell you our life story from when we were babies, till this moment. Can we move now?" I snapped. Jeeze! Sith soldiers will be running in here any minute!
Nadia opened the door and we all ran (and for T3's sake, rolled) to the Ebon Hawk's ramp. I turned back and saw Sith Soldiers coming.
"Get to the turrets!" I told Nadia, "Shoot the Sith and the random stuff!"
She ran to the turrets and I stayed at the doorway, ready to slice and dice if any Sith got past her. Ayden stayed with me, aiming his mining blaster at random objects and shooting.
Two sith got past Nadia but I fixed that. I looked around and saw… surprise, surprise, Kriea.
"Run!" Ayden yelled to her.
Yeah. In my opinion she could stay here but that might kill Nadia… hmm, short story if that was the case.
Kreia made it onto the ramp and ran inside. The ramp started to close and the ship lift up, so we went inside the ship too. We ran to the cockpit. Atton was at the seat dodging blaster fire and asteroids.
"Just jump to Hyper-space already!" I practically shouted.
"Unless you want to end up in little pieces on the other side, I'd suggest not to do that. The asteroids would tear us up." Atton said.
"Oh… right." I muttered.
"It's a good thing you came… your hand!" Nadia said, gasping artedwhen she saw Kreia's hand. Or should I say, non-hand? I winced when I saw it and Ayden visibly flinched. Kreia's arm where her hand should be was just… it was wrong. It was gone.
"Focus on getting out of here." Kreia ordered.
"This isn't good. If they hit us, we're dead, if they keep missing us, we're dead." Atton stated.
"What of the asteroids? If you fire on them it will likely destroy the Harnbringer." Kreia suggested.
"And us!" Atton said.
"There could still be people alive on the station!" Nadia protested, "Atton, just try to keep your distance."
"Righteo!" Atton said, flying the ship and dodging asteroids. "There's a break in the asteroids! I'm going to try to jump to hyperspace!"
Then there was a big boom and the explosion rocked the ship just as Atton made the ship jump to hyperspace. There was silence as the white lights of Hyper-space was seen outside.
There was more silence until a voice broke the silence.
"Sooo… now what?' Ayden asked.
"I will retire to my quarters. Let me know when we reach Telos." Kreia said before exiting the cockpit.
I looked at Ayden, then at Nadia and then Atton. Atton turned to Nadia, "You think you should go talk to her? About that hand of hers?"
"She seemed to be talking it well." Nadia hesitated.
"The pain was rolling off her. I'm surprised she wasn't screaming in agony." Atton informed her.
"Alright. I'll go talk to her." Nadia said before leaving the cockpit, following Kreia.
Atton turned to us.
"So, you two are Jedi, right?" He asked.
I shook my head, "No, only I'm a Jedi. I was properly trained by a Jedi. He's, well, an annoying older brother who tags along with me."
"Hey!"
"Just joking. He has to stick with me. He'd get lost without me, not to mention he'd have no-one to tell his (bad) jokes too, if he left me. And I would have nobody to annoy."
"Yeah, that's so much better." Ayden said sarcastically.
"You're welcome!" I said, cheerfully.
Atton looked at us and then shook his head, "What was your lightsaber? You mentioned it before."
Ayden looked at me, interested to see my answer.
"It was a green single-bladed lightsaber. Though I can use two, or a duel-bladed lightsaber." I told them, smiling as I thought of it. It got destroyed on the Star Forge, I think.
Then Nadia came back.
"So how is she?" Atton asked, fiddling with the controls of The Ebon Hawk.
"For someone with nothing to say, she sure has a lot to say." She said.
"To you, perhaps." Atton said.
"What do you mean?" Nadia asked, frowning slightly.
"The only things I can get out of her is 'Fool' or 'Imbecile.'" Atton said.
"Huh."
"So how old do you thing she is? Kreia, I mean. She probably was pretty once." Atton asked and Ayden had to cover his mouth from laughing out loud. I smiled.
"Kreia? Pretty? I think you must've got hitten by a stray blaster bolt when I wasn't watching." Nadia said, raising an eyebrow.
"Hey. Space gets lonely!" Atton said, defensively.
"Yeah, whatever. Are we still on course for Telos?" Nadia asked.
"Yeah. There's nowhere else to go. That's the only place we can go." Atton explained, "You can have a look on the Navi-Computer if you want to check."
Nadia nodded and walked over to the computer.
"So what happened?" Atton asked her.
"To what?" The red-head asked.
"Your lightsaber. There were plenty of times on the station where it would've been handy." Atton said.
"Oh. Exile's aren't allowed to keep their lightsabers."
"Huh. I thought Jedi were married to their lightsabers." Atton mused, "Hey, you didn't go red, did you?"
"No. My blade and hilt were unique."
"Unique? How so?"
"It was a duel bladed, viridian blade like the council had never seen before." Nadia sighed, probably remembering her lightsaber.
"Duel-bladed, huh? I heard they are harder to master but strike the fear into your enemy's heart." Atton said.
"Yeah. Well, I'd better check out this map thing." Nadia sighed.
"Well, we're going to get some food and rest. Nothing like fighting for your life to work up an appetite!" I said, grabbing Ayden's arm and walking him out of the room.
We walked into the main area and I walked over to a cupboard. I open it up to see… nothing. I opened another one see nothing as well. Wash, rinse, repeat.
"Stang. Talk about 'Old Mother Hubbard." I muttered.
"Who?" Nadia asked coming over to us. She must've left the cockpit.
"Eh, it's a rhyme from out home planet. It goes…" I started to say.
"Now look what you've done!" Ayden exclaimed to Nadia.
"Ahem…" I said, glaring at my brother, "It goes, 'Old mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to get her poor dog a bone. When she got there, the cupboard was bare so the dog had… erm… none?" I said, trying to remember the nursery rhyme.
"Oookaaay… I won't ask." Nadia said, shaking her head.
"Thank the loony-tunes for that." Ayden muttered.
I glared at him again, then turned to Nadia.
"I know I said we'd tell you about ourselves once we got on the ship, but could that wait until Telos? We're puffed." I said. And I need to think of a good cover story.
"That's alright." Nadia shrugged.
"Great!" I said and grabbed Ayden's arm and lead him to the Starboard room, the one that Kreia was not in.
"Tell us when we get to Telos." I called to Nadia
Next Time:
I have some explaining to do to Ayden; We get to Telos, get arrested and tried to get killed and more! I can't wait! (That was sarcasm, by the way ;) )
Sorry for the wait :( but here is the chapter! Thanks for reviewing :)
