Sorry everyone I was hoping to get this one posted last Sunday but that did not happen. SO here it is!

Chapter 10- Guarding the City

Ships were leaving the system and heading off to other towns on Isa. The next morning all the royals were packed up and heading to safety either on their own world or in other places on Isa.

Obi-wan stood, in his general's uniform, watching the ships leave. He told all of them this morning to pack up and leave as it was for their safety and well-being. Now every royal, including Satine, was heading home.

Obi-wan heard footsteps behind him. He glanced over his shoulder to see his padawan up and on her feet. He turned and smiled at her.

"How are you feeling this morning?' he asked.

"Sore with a headache,' Sasha said massaging her shoulder.

Obi-wan's smile vanished. "Well, remind me to help you heal later."

"Alright," she said then remembered something. "Oh I almost forgot. We have some people who want to be joining us."

"Who?' he asked.

Sasha pointed behind her. Obi-wan looked up to see Satine, Breha, Jamillia, Lance, and Blake walking towards them.

"Oh no," Obi-wan said. "It is way too dangerous for any of you to stay here."

Lance folded his arms across his chest.

"My army, my palace, my kingdom, my home Kenobi," he said. "Blake and I are staying to fight."

"But King Lance…"

"I don't want to hear it Master Jedi," Lance said harshly then sighed regaining composure. "There is nothing you can say that will make me leave."

Obi-wan sighed in surrender. "Alright." Then he turned to the ladies. "Now why are you staying?"

"Bail did tell you I am the rebellious type right?" Breha asked.

"Yeah he did mention that."

"I want to do something heroic like Padme did when she was Queen," Jamillia said.

Satine took a step closer to him.

"Just like Mandalore," was all she said. Obi-wan didn't have to reply to that, he knew what it meant.

He sighed then pinched the bridge of his nose. Now he had a headache.

"Alright, you can all stay," Obi-wan said. "On one condition."

"And what might that be, Master Kenobi?" Blake asked.

"All of you must listen to either me or Sasha when we give the orders. Understood?"

They all nodded. Now Obi-wan needed to find some way to spilt them up. Obi-wan's first plan involved Sasha and him splitting up taking each a squad with them and patrolling the streets for any droids. Now they would have to spilt into groups in order for it to be fair. It's hard for one Jedi to protect five people especially when only two have had weapons experience. Obi-wan folded his arms across his chest.

"Okay this how it's going to work," he started. "Sasha you will patrol the north side of town. Jamillia, Breha, and Blake will go with you. Satine you, Lance, and I will take the south side of town. If anyone spots Grievous, we meet back here to face him together. Understood?"

"Yes Master Kenobi," they all said in unison.

"Good, now in form the other patrols and squads about the plan."

"Will do," said Lance. He pulled out a commlink and went to go do that.

"Now gather you belongings," Obi-wan said. "I've contacted the fleet but how long it will be till they arrive, I am unsure of. So be prepared."

They nodded and to get their things which was already packed and ready to go. Sasha, who remained be her master, turned to him.

"Now be careful, Sasha,' Obi-wan said placing a hand on her good shoulder.

"I will," Sasha said. "Can you stay out of trouble master?"

Obi-wan chuckled then nodded. "Of course."

Sasha smiled then Obi-wan did the something she did not expect. He hugged her. Sasha was a little shocked at first then she wrapped her arms around him, hugging him back. He pulled away and patted her shoulder then looked up at the sky then back down.

"Time to go," he said. "May the force be with you."

"May the force be with you, Master," Sasha said.

Sasha turned then went to her group. They headed off into town to meet with their squad of troops.

Satine walked up to Obi-wan and placed a hand on his arm.

"Come on Obi," Satine said. "Time to go."

Obi-wan looked down at her and nodded. He picked up his pack and headed off to their side of town.

After ten hours of patrolling, Obi-wan's group only ran into a squad of droids once that whole day. Now the sun was setting on that long day. They set up camp inside one of the buildings.

While Lance set up their makeshift beds, Satine made dinner, and Obi-wan contacted the other squads on their status. He then contacted the fleet and they said their ETA was tomorrow afternoon, Isa time. He hung up the commlink and returned to the others.

"Well you will be pleased to know that we have lost no men however several are already injured," Obi-wan said as he took a seat on his makeshift bed, which was made of only a pillow and a electro blanket.

"How about Breha and Jamillia?' Satine asked bringing three meal packs for them.

"Both of them are fine," he said. "Blake is fine too."

"How about Sasha?"

"She's fine, but her shoulder is hurting her." He sighed. "I wish I could be there to help her heal."

Satine gave him his meal pack then set Lance's down on his bed then she sat next to Obi-wan.

"Don't worry, you guys will be back together, depending when the fleet arrives," Satine said. " Speaking of them, where are they?"

"They'll be here by tomorrow afternoon," he said. "I'll tell the others tomorrow morning."

"Well then I guess our wait for help isn't that long," Lance said from the doorway.

"Your dinner is ready," Satine said opening her food pack.

"Thanks," Lance said taking a seat on his bed. He opened up his meal pack and dug in.

Obi-wan already had opened his but he hardly even touched his food.

"And what were you up to?" Obi-wan asked.

"Half the troops are eating; the other half are handling the first night shift," he said.

"Good."

They finished eating and cleaned up. They all got ready for bed by putting their boots at the foot of their bed, their belts next to them and their weapons (if had any) next to their pillows. They all laid down, Obi-wan being the last to sleep.

Something was nagging at him. He didn't know what, but he had a very bad feeling those visions and dreams he had were about to come true soon.

HINT! HINT! *Gives a wink* REVIEW!
