Episode 22 - Reunited

Death Star - Chamber Room

As Ben Kenobi, Madoka Kaname and Sayaka Miki rushed their way to the chamber room, upon exiting an empty elevator in which they were lucky since no officers, bureaucrats and officers passed by, they successfully deactivated the tractor beam in order for the Falcon to fly and escape, but before they can escape, Madoka insisted Ben to rescue their friends as Sayaka explained to Ben their gifted powers and weird ways of using it, they arrived at the chamber room.

Surprisingly, the chamber room is still unlocked so the trio entered with caution as they enter.

The chamber room is flashing red lights simultaneously because they heard that the alarm went off after the breakout from the Detention Area. Madoka looked around and asked through her head,

"Mami... Kyouko... Homura... are you all here?" she asked in her thoughts.

No response.

Madoka is worried, so she and Sayaka proceeded through the room as Ben followed them from behind, making sure that there won't any hidden troopers or squadrons hiding in the shadows. But as soon as the two young girls walked further, they sniffed the air as they noticed a gust of misty fog at the capsules, indicating that Homura had planted a smoke screen grenade to prevent any enemies coming to their way.

"Is this smoke..? Wait.." Sayaka went through the smoke she left Madoka behind the smoke, then follows. "It.. can't be..."

Madoka was shocked to see what's in front of her very eyes as the gust of smoke went away; Sayaka was being hugged by Kyouko while Homura gently recovered the weakened Mami from her capsule, half pale but yet alive.

Kyouko, Homura and Mami was surprised after seeing Sayaka, then they saw Madoka right in front of them as soon as Homura places Mami down gently and ran straight to Madoka, and gave her a tight hug.

Homura was surprised to see her friend again, as she said in tears, "M-Madoka... I thought I'd.. never see you again."

Madoka was stunned and hugged Homura back in return as she replied in tears, "Me too... I thought me and Sayaka were the only ones..."

Kyouko smirked and replied to Madoka, "Don't mention it. Haven't we forgot that we're always in this together?"

Mami smiled proudly as she sees her young kouhai in her sight, and responded to Kyouko's words in a weak voice, "Indeed... I'm glad we're all together again."

The girls smiled at each other as they are reunited once again. The Holy Quintet are whole once again!

At the corner of the room, Ben noticed a Stormtrooper right next to the girls right before he reached his lightsaber from his utility belt, he approached right to the rogue Stormtrooper as asked, "You.. why are you here?"

TK-135 responded as the old man is coming right towards him, "Huh..? Wait.. wait! I can explain!"

Ben was confused after he heard the trooper's words, without any suspicion, he asked again, "I never seen a trooper like this one before... You helped.. them?"

TK-135 nodded after he turned his direction at the quad, then responded back to Ben, "Yes, I helped them here. The dark haired girl lead us here to help rescuing her friends."

Ben nodded as the rogue trooper continued, "Also... I didn't know I'd run into a former old Jedi Master like you, and also, two girls with you. Now that makes them extra."

The girls giggled as they watched TK-135 and Ben's conversation before they stood up and approached to him. The conversation was cut when Ben looked at the quad and asked, "So, all of you five are friends? I'm glad you made the right choice, young Kaname."

Madoka smiled and politely hugged Ben gently as a sign of thanking him. Sayaka was proud when she turned to the girls as Kyouko asked, "Say, who's the old man? I bet he's not a crazy old geezer."

Sayaka was offended after what Kyouko described Ben Kenobi as a 'old geezer'. She said, "Kyouko! He's a nice man."

Kyouko raised her eyebrow and asked again, "Oh really? What makes you think of that?"

Ben simply ignored Kyouko's attitude and answered wisely, "I may look old, but apparently, you never seen the last of me. I helped young Kaname and Miki on their way here."

Madoka smiled and continued Ben's words, "Exactly. Plus, we were on our way to Alderaan to rescue the princess, but this battle station destroyed it."

Kyouko was stunned after what she heard, and then asks, "Well, did you three rescue her?"

Homura smuggly replied, "Don't be silly. Madoka and Sayaka doesn't know how they interact in this world."

Mami heard Homura's words and defended, "Akemi-san. Don't be so rude." then Homura just simply replied with, "Hmph."

Sayaka chuckled as she said, "Long story short. We don't have much time. We have to get back to rejoin Luke and the others to the Millennium Falcon."

The other girls were confused as Kyouko confusedly asked, "Falcon? Don't tell us you came here with a magical bird, right?"

Ben was not amused after he felt a similar presence opposite to his side of the Force, "I felt something..."

Madoka noticed after she let go of Ben and asked, "What do you mean, sir Kenobi?"

Ben replied, "My former apprentice is here." He called out to the rogue trooper and the girls, "We need to get out of here. There's no time."

And with that, the Holy Quintet, Ben Kenobi, and TK-135 exited the chamber room quickly as they find their way back to the docking bay as to where the Falcon is located as Luke and the others desperately made their way to get back to the Millennium Falcon quickly.

As soon as they're halfway on their way, TK-135 carried the weak Mami Tomoe on his hands like a groom carrying her bride, or a firefighter carrying a victim to safety, Mami breathes in and breathes out slowly as he called out to the others in front of him, "Um, guys? Your friend doesn't look good here."

Madoka was stunned as she looked back at the rogue trooper carrying her senpai, as she requests to Sayaka, "Sayaka, do you think you can use your healing magic to help Mami?"

Sayaka smirked as gave her best friend a thumbs up, "You know I always do."

Madoka gave her a proud smile as Homura yelled out to them, "I think we should split up. That way, all of us will be together once we reached that Falcon of yours. And plus, it's risky this way if anyone tries to get in our path."

The rest heard Homura's words and Kyouko sarcastically said, "Oh Homura... cunning as always. Let's go!"

They agreed as they split up into teams; Ben with Madoka, Sayaka with Homura, Kyouko with TK-135 whilst carrying Mami. They desperately find their way to head back to the docking bay to rejoin with Luke and the gang.
