When the boat finally did reach land, Ashoka, Ezra and Jinx were the first few people to get off the boat once they reached Eday.
It was the second continent on their list, and they were all determined to make it there and back, so that they could get to 'America.'
Ezra had read somewhere that Eday was where the next key was, so they had decided to check it out next. It was a small island, so it shouldn't be that big of a problem to find it. Thankfully, it wasn't that hard. Especially when the tour guide literally points it out on a tour through one of the caves.
The trio paused before it, wondering what to do. The alcohol that Ashoka had drunk aboard the boat had been well washed out of her system, so they could get going with out any troubles.
The rest of the tour group had already moved on, allowing safe passage for the trio to just go up and take the key. Like the others, they had a sinking feeling that this was too easy and that there was some kind of trap awaiting them the minute that they touched it, or attempted to remove it from the stone prison that it was being kept in.
"So, are we going to grab it or not? I mean, it is just there! we can take on whatever comes out of that stone if it does end up being a trap!" Jinx yelled at her friends, who nodded in agreement.
Ezra cast a small glance at his sister. "Yeah, lets do it," He shook his head slightly as he looked up, staring at his sister and at Ashoka, who was nodding as well.
Without any warning what so ever, Ashoka lifted up Jinx and put her on the stone, where the key was.
The nature goddess reached up further and grabbed the key, yanking it out, hard. She climbed down and jumped the rest of the way.
Behind her, she could hear rumbling as the stone started to break into pieces. Well, that is what they thought. Instead, the stone formed a new shape.
The new shape was large, purple and looked like a predator. It had webbed hands and feet, and purple strips all over.
"I am the protector of this stone, Protector Zeb! Who dares to disturb the key of Primus? Hand it over now, or face the consequences!" The giant being, Zeb, shouted at the trio.
Ashoka stepped forward, her true appearance, not the human guise that she had put on since they had arrived in the human realm, showing through her human guise.
"Dear Protector Zeb! Hear us out! We need this key to save the Star Wars! It is very important, a necromancer has began to take over our beloved land, and we must save it! I am Ashoka Tano, and this is Ezra Bridger and Jinx Bridger! Please, let us take this key and save our world, we beg of you!"
Ashoka looked up at Zeb, a pleading look in her eyes. If they couldn't get this key, then they would be lost. There was no point in getting one key, but not all of the others.
Zeb shook his head from side to side, as if he was weighing the pros and cons of giving them the Primus key.
"I shall give you the key. However, I have one condition, do you accept?" Zeb said, watching the Goddesses and God before him. He awaited their answer, needing to know what it was.
Ezra stepped forward after they finished talking between themselves. "Before we accept, we would like to know your condition, if you will," the male Bridger said.
Zeb let out a small chuckle before continuing. "I just wish to join you on your journey. I haven't been out of this stone in years, and with nothing to guard, what is the use of being a guardian? I would like some company, it has been so long since I got to have some proper company,"
Jinx nodded her head, smiling. She knew how he felt. "Yeah, you can join us! I know how you feel. You want to be alone, but you don't want to be lonely. Right?" the youngest Bridger told the Lasat standing in front of her, even though he was several metres taller then her.
Zeb nodded his head, pleased that she knew what it was like. The male Lasat held out his hand for the key. Once it was in his hand, his appearance started to bubble and change.
The once five meters tall Lasat with webbed feet and hands and purple fur all over had been replaced by a young man that was a little bit taller than Ashoka, he had pale skin and purple hair. His hands were a little longer than a normal humans.
"Alright then, lets go to where ever it is you are going next on your journey!" Zeb said, cheerfully as he swung up Ezra and put him on his shoulders.
Ashoka and Jinx giggled, and Ezra gave them a cocky smile from up on Zeb's shoulders.
"Well, next on our list is America, so I guess we are going there then! From what I do know about human transport, we could take this thing called a plane from the mainland of Scotland, which isn't to far away. I am pretty sure that we had to go to some place called Washington D.C or something, so we should head there. thankfully, from what I know, that is a large city, so we shouldn't have to much trouble getting there."
Ashoka sighed at her mini speech. Now all they need to do was find out how to sneak onto a plane, and get to Scotland.
Jinx smiled up at her, squeezing her hand gently to give the female some comfort. She was unhappy that her crush was unhappy, scared for what was going to happen.
"Ashoka, what ever happens, we will be together, and that is all that matters, okay?"
Ashoka nodded her head, smiling slightly more than she was before.
"Yeah, I do."
And that is another chapter done! I'm having a weekend where I update all my stories, and this story was the first on my list.
I hope that this was a good chapter, I've never written Zeb before:)
