Well, this scene was pretty hard to write due to the movie showing only about ten seconds total to describe it. Also, the fact that this Jedi Master hasn't appeared in any of the other movies also adds up to making it hard to write. This has made it one of my more disliked scenes out of the ten or eleven that I have written, but it's still pretty good, considering. Anyway, hope you enjoy it, despite its brevity.

IV

Jedi Master Stass Allie's speeder bike zoomed through the Saleucamian plains, following a single but direct path on her patrol. She was human, with dark tan skin, and she wore the traditional dark brown and light brown combination of Jedi robes, as well as a Tholoth headdress atop her head. Her robes were fluttering out behind her from the speed with which she was moving, and the crackle of wind was a constant noise in her ears.

Stass sighed as she looked out at the landscape around her. Saleucami was an arid world, with only a dim light that was cast onto it from its far-off sun. Oases' had littered what she had seen of the planet so far, and the field that she was now patrolling was no exception. Huge, bulbous trees also laid claim to the planet's individuality, and the many rolling hills that weaved out into the distance were dotted with them.

Stass turned her head from the scenery and looked to her sides, seeing two more speeders traveling alongside hers'. A single clone trooper sat atop each speeder, flanking her sides, and they both wore customized armor meant to enhance their resistance to blaster bolts. On her left was Commander Neyo, and to her right was his lieutenant. They were her reinforcements.

Stass sighed at the thought and turned forward once again. The thought had brought back memories from when the republic had not been at war, from when she would never have needed to have escorts follow her around to protect her from dispassionate and unemotional droids that had been ordered to kill them.

Stass bowed her head down as her mind drifted. If only this war could have somehow of been avoided. Too many friends have been lost; too many Jedi have been lost… Too many lives have been lost, period. And Grievous… Her mouth turned into a scowl as she thought the name.

If it weren't for Grievous, Adi Gallia, my cousin, would not be dead… That monster is machine enough to not care about killing, and he is living enough to know cruelty. She shook her head again as she looked up and narrowed her eyes, trying to keep the wind from stinging her face. This war is evil… All war is evil… We should not have to fight against things that don't even care if we live or die, and that only care about following orders…

Lost in her thoughts, Stass never noticed the clone commanders flanking her motion to each other to pull back.

She was still looking up ahead of her, turning her thoughts around in her head, trying to find some reason for why all of this had to happen, when a crimson plasma bolt jolted into the end of her speeder bike, causing the bike to swerve wildly.

Stass instantly came out of her stupor as the bolt hit, and at the same time she reflexively grabbed at the speeder's controls, attempting to sturdy the now-wobbling craft. She cast a look behind her, fear etched into her face, and she saw both Commander Neyo and his lieutenant shooting at her from behind, their ruby blaster bolts arching through the air towards her.

What?!

Stass quickly turned back around, her face becoming sweat-stricken as the wind flapped her cloak up and around her face. Another red plasma bolt streaked passed her right side, narrowly missing her head, and then her body was jerked forward as another bolt collided with the back of the speeder, sending a plume of charcoal smoke into the air.

Stass frantically grasped the controls, trying to pull the speeder bike back from its wobbly decent. But her attempts were futile, she realized, as she saw that the speeder's steering had been shot out. It was at that moment of realization that the bike abruptly began gaining speed and altitude, and suddenly it was shooting off sideways, towards one of the numerous oases' that dotted the area.

The craft's speed kept it moving across the small patch of water without teetering more than a few inches to either side, and then it reached the hill on the other side of the oasis and shot upward, gaining speed all the while. Less than a second later, the small speeder bike shot off the top ledge of the hill and into the air, its decent heading it straight towards one of the huge bulbous-like trees that covered the landscape.

As Stass sat helpless in the seat of her speeder while it zoomed toward her imminent crash, she desperately tried to cast herself out into the force, trying to immerse herself in a force energy bubble that would protect her from the impending crash.

But she was more of a healer than a manipulator of telekinesis, and the force of the coming impact would be much too great for her to try and block. As she realized this, Stass let herself fall back into the force, becoming perfectly in tune with it's existence.

A second later, a luminous explosion erupted from the giant bulbous tree, and the speeder bike shattered into a fiery sphere of metal and flames that danced across the dim surroundings, scattering durasteel chunks into the surrounding landscape as the Jedi Master Stass Allie left reality.
