Hi guys! I thought you guys could use another chapter! Please remember to review!
Last time: Obi-wan, Anakin, and Ahsoka are given a mission to Kirros. (BTW Amazing story arc from season 4)
Now: They are back and Bant has some wonderful news!
Chapter 11- We Found a Cure!
Sasha smiled when she heard that her master had returned from Kirros with Master Anakin and Ahsoka. She was glad that they were back so soon. Especially since she only had three more days left. Three days. She didn't want to think about it. She hated thinking about it. She hated it just about as much as she hated this war. But she pushed the hate away as it lead to the dark side. That was the only thing she could do.
Anyway, once she heard they were back she was happy. However, when she heard that her master was in the healers ward, she laughed. It didn't surprise her that he would go out on a mission and not come back without a few battle scars. She only wondered what happened this time. And don't worry. Anakin told her via commlink that it wasn't serious and that he just got himself in trouble again. That's why she laughed.
She made her way to the healer's ward with Cayden. He had become glued to her hip since Obi-wan left. He made sure that nothing happened to her. He was more protective of her than Obi-wan was. Of course he was her boyfriend, but if he continued to do this their secret would be out.
When they got to the healer's ward, they made their way to the room Obi-wan was in. They knocked on the door and heard some say enter on the other side. They opened the door and walked in. Sasha smiled at her master who was sitting up in bed, his torso bandaged.
"Well look whose home," Sasha said as she approached the bed.
Obi-wan smiled, but it wasn't as big as hers. "You don't look well, padawan."
Sasha shrugged. She had to admit to herself. She looked almost like a walking ghost with black veins.
"Yeah, it's gotten worse, but I'm still standing and breathing, and that's what counts," Sasha said.
Now his smile grew. "I'm glad to hear it."
"Now you, on the other hand, look like hell. What happened?" Sasha asked as Cayden grabbed a seat for her to sit in.
Obi-wan looked at the others in the room before he spoke up. Sasha took a seat. They all told the tale of their adventure including the part where Obi-wan became a slave and took a nice beating from their light whips. That's also when both her and Cayden learned that Anakin was a slave before a Jedi. Once they were done, Sasha and Cayden were silent.
"Well it sounded like a good time," Cayden said as he was leaning against the wall.
"Seriously," Sasha added as she leaned back in her chair.
"Yeah it was an adventure in itself, but that is last time I deal with slavers," Anakin said.
"Agreed," Obi-wan and Ahsoka said at the same time.
At that point, the door opened and Bant came in. She looked like she hadn't slept for days and like she had just run there.
"Guys, you are not going to believe what I found," Bant said sounding excited. "Oh good you are all here!"
"Bant what did you find?" Obi-wan asked shrugging on a white shirt.
"I found a cure! And a real one this time," she said.
"Wait, seriously," Sasha said.
"Yes! I did so much research and I finally contacted a healer from the planet where this all started. They told me about everything they tried and I took note of those findings. Then a friend of mine over at the Medical Center here on Coruscant told me about this story where someone was cursed and the only way to break it was to reverse it or to destroy the source of the curse. So I thought about it. I knew that reversing was going to be a challenge. So then I thought why not destroy the shadow? And then it hit me! That is the cure! You have to kill the shadow!" She explained excited.
Everyone's facial expression didn't change. They were frozen in place.
"Please tell me this is a joke," Anakin said.
She looked confused. "No, it's not a joke. I'm dead serious. You have to kill the shadow. You do that, no more curse. I'm surprised we didn't think of this earlier."
Everyone looked at her shocked. It must be the lack of sleep, because she is usually not this… slow. They all groaned and collapsed. Obi-wan fell back against the pillows. Anakin collapsed onto the other bed in the room that was empty. Ahsoka was on her hands and knees. Cayden slid down the wall. Sasha fell forward in her chair, but remained sitting. Bant sweat dropped.
"Was it something I said?"
HAHAHA! What did you guys think? Review please! BTW that ending moment if you were confused was the kind of moment you would see in Anime when the characters collapse from learning shocking news that results in the audience laughing. And if you don't understand what I mean… well I hope you still enjoyed it! And go watch some animes!
