{PurpleCatHair} I'm back! Sorta. So we read through the story and decided this chapter was desperately needed. [If you want to know why just read through the story without this chapter.] I mean, we could've probably gotten away with not writing this chapter but then you miss like, a good part of the story, and it'd seem poorly written so… HERE IS THIS!
"Oh yeah, I know Jed. He's in some alleyway like some kind of death stick seller or whatever." A very annoyed looking Zabrak man told Sabine.
Sabine looked around, "Which alley? I really need to talk to him."
The Zabrak sighed, "I'll just show you!"
"What's your name?" Sabine asked as the Zabrak led her through the streets.
"None of you concern." The Zabrak growled.
"So how do you know Jed?" Sabine asked as the Zabrak as he lead her down an alley.
The Zabrak sighed, "You ask too many questions. I bought a tube of permanent toothpaste to kill someone with."
"You can kill people with that?" Sabine asked tilting her head.
The Zarak seemed even more annoyed than when they first left, "Yes, it can melt your teeth. The acids are too strong for most humanoid species, it will even melt through skin." The Zabrak pulled out the toothpaste from his pocket, "Wanne see?"
Sabine put her hand over one of her blasters, "Is that a threat?"
The Zabrak shook his head, "Hardly, but I'd still kill you if I wanted too. Jed's over there, now leave, even your mere presence is annoying me."
Sabine watched the Zabrak man walk off, "Zabraks…" She muttered under her breath.
Sabine walked over to a very interesting looking Twi'lek man. He was a dark shade of purple and his lekku markings were oddly similar to Hera's only his were black. He had large bright blue eyes, he seemed like the kind of guy who'd be happy, even in a life or death situation. He wore a dark grey cloak that reached the ground, a light blue shirt and loose tan pants. Nothing seemed to match on this guy, which is why Sabine assumed that this was Jed. That and the other guy was selling death sticks.
"Hello young girl, would you like to buy some free free? It's one hundred percent absolutely free!" Jed asked enthusiastically.
"Uh… no thanks." Sabine said eyeing Jed.
Jed kept the bright smile on his face, "Well then what can I get you?"
Sabine thought for a moment, "I...I actually don't know…" Sabine pulled out her comm link, "Hey, Zeb, I found Jed. What was it we were supposed to get?"
"You did? Grey's father, Jas or something, wanted permanent toothpaste, uhh… sock pants… and what was it, what was it… oh right, fluffy blocks or something." Zeb responded over the comm.
"Thanks, meet you back on the Phantom." Sabine looked up at Jed, "Sock pants, permanent toothpaste and fluffy blocks."
"I think you mean fluffy bricks, and okay." Jed pulled out one of the cloak's sides, revealing the many, many, pockets filled with his different products. He pulled out a tube of toothpaste and a pack of three foam bricks with the label "Fluffy Bricks". He let go of his cloak and handed the things to Sabine, "What size sock pants?" He asked grabbing the other half of his cloak.
Sabine thought for a moment, "Small."
Jed eyed her, "Honestly I think you need an extra small, no offense but these run large."
"Oh, then do that." Sabine said looking down at the two other things, she only saw Jas for a few moments but in her memory he was smaller than she was.
Jed pulled out a small box and handed to Sabine, "That will be… seventy three credits please."
Sabine's face turned pale, "I uh… I don't have any credits. Please, my friend Hera was taken by some creepy man as a slave and the only way we can get her back is by giving the creepy man these things."
Jed stayed smiling, "Hera, I had a friend with that name... Wait, what's her full name?"
"Uhm... Hera Syndulla. I'm kind of in a hurry..."
"Oh oh, is she green?" Jed asked.
"Yes, can I please just take the things and go?" Sabine asked desperately.
Jed nodded, "Go right ahead"
Sabine nodded at him and ran towards the direction of the Phantom and found Grey already waiting inside. Grey looked at her and looked away instantly. Sabine stopped, confused, something wasn't right. She watched Grey closely, he nodded his head as if to say "Turn around". That's when Sabine felt the presence of someone large behind her. She pulled out her blaster and turned around to see the Zabrak from earlier. The Zabrak had a large gun, there were two other Zabraks behind him, one female, one male, with their guns pointed at her. Sabine backed up and smiled at them, "Ill have you know I'm a Mandalorian. Not even I would mess with me!" Just then another Zabrak came up and grabbed her arms and restrained her by the hands.
Grey then ran out of the Phantom and hit the Zabrak holding Sabine in the neck, hard enough to break it. Grey quickly took the restraints off and jumped up and kicked one of the Zabraks running at him in the head. Sabine picked up her blaster and shot at the one she met earlier. She watched Grey as he continued to attack the Zabrak he kicked in the head. He was a lot stronger than she originally thought. The final Zabrak, the female kicked one of Sabine's blasters from her hand and grabbed her other hand and flipped her onto her back. The woman was about to kill Sabine when a pole hit her in the back of the head. The Zabrak woman fell on top of Sabine, revealing that the one behind her was Jed.
"You left before I told you that the Zabraks were following you." He said holding the pole in his hands.
"Why did you follow me?" Sabine said, pushing the woman off of her.
Jed smiled at her and helped her up, "I want to see Hera, it's been like, ten years since the last time I saw her."
Zeb walked over to the three, "What happened here?"
Ezra ran up behind Zeb, "I missed it!"
"Zabraks. And no, you can't come. I'll just tell Hera you said hi." Sabine said with an annoyed tone.
"Who's this?" Zeb asked Sabine.
Sabine sighed, "It's Jed."
"Jed." said Grey.
"Jed?" said Ezra.
"Jed!?" said Zeb.
"Jed!" exclaimed Jed
"Shut up!" Yelled Sabine. "I am working on two hours of sleep here! Let's just get in the ship and go get Hera before you all make me lose my mind!"
Zeb rolled his eyes, "Okay, let's just go then."
"So can I come?" Jed asked enthusiastically. "I could always get in my own ship!"
"No!" Everyone said almost in sync.
Jed still smiled, "Okay, but tell Hera, Jedovah said hi!"
"Yeah whatever." Sabine growled walking into the Phantom. "I'm flying!"
Everyone except Jed walked into the Phantom. Sabine flew the Phantom out of the planet's atmosphere but when they got into space Grey's ship was nowhere to be seen. Sabine flew around hoping that the ship simply relocated somewhere nearby. However they were all disappointed when they found that Grey's ship was definitely gone. Grey walked over and tried to contact his ship.
"This is captain Grey to The Silver Flame, where are you?" Grey said through the comm. No answer. "Damn it! They're out of range."
Sabine looked up at Grey, "Does that mean…"
Grey nodded, "They went into hyperspace, but why?"
"How are we going to get Hera? We can't just leave the phantom." Ezra asked.
Zeb thought for a moment, "Didn't Jed say he had a ship? Maybe it has a magnetic lock we can connect the Phantom to."
Sabine let out an annoyed sigh, "Jed? But we barely know him!"
"We trusted Jaylee." Ezra pointed out. "And that's not even her real name."
"And do we have a choice?" Grey asked.
Sabine shook her head, "No, we don't. Let's go find Jed agai…"
Sabine was cut off by the appearance of a very familiar looking ship, The Ghost.
So, that chapter is- [OVER! I told you I should've written it, my writing is better!] No it's not! Anyways, looks like Kanan might've found them, I wonder what they're going to do… just kidding, I already know! [Doesn't matter, because you wrote the next chapter too, so I hate it already.] SHHHHHHHHHHH! Anyways, it been way too long, now finally I can properly- *teleports to the next chapter*
