6. Chapter 6 Gai the Full Moon Hunter

Garo Conquest of Makai

ESKK: New chapter let's begin.

(Start)

It's been a month sense the citadel mission with Andros bagging two strong horrors and many low level ones, while paying off the bill he was stiff by Churi with for having his ship store away.

Lucky the Makai order came through with most of the payment but he still had to pay the rest himself, which be barely paid off with what money he had on hand that force him to stay within the Jedi temple until he can get more credits to his name and just move his ship to a different place that free to use but the area a bit more dangerous of people getting rob or something get stolen.

Lucky he left it in BD-G2 care to watch over it for safe keeping as he knew he can count on his buddy to watch over thing as he is the only one that could fly the ship out of harms when he had a few modification done to his ship by Churi, no doubt about it after that she made him bet his ship so she can do more stuff to it which he has yet to check it out what she did while it was in her possession.

It wasn't all bad at least, getting some training done with some of the Jedi and their resting quarters were decent for him at least, as he rather sleep in his ship but something also made him to stay, mostly Ahsoka.

As what happen with betting with Churi that Ahsoka agreed to help with, with it ended up with her taking a couple of photo of her in outfits of Churi choices, no doubt afterword with Ahsoka seem upset by that and with him she didn't want to see him for a while, until she came up to him and wanted Andros to take her to some places to eat and stuff as he agreed to.

The Food was good, they talk about what been happening, Andros told a few stories leaving Ahsoka laughing after telling her what he did with his best friend Jinga, pranking another friend of his that ended with him and Jinga getting shot at with training arrows.

Ahsoka admits she has nothing that could top that kind of story, as after dinner they had a good time together, but afterword's with Andros been given the check, it was pretty pricy for him that which left him broke, which wasn't the worst news yet as Ahsoka wanted him to take her to another place as it seem his punishment wasn't over just yet.

Lucky something came up that made her put a hold on the next date that Churi called it after she found out what Ahsoka made him do, another mission in the war, no doubt Anakin needed her help with something else.

He was offer to join on it but he has other priority, as that looking up more information in the Jedi Archives about the Force sentient planets to locate and pin down the hidden tombs.

The Makai order was doing what they can on their end, but until they can find something, he was stuck at the Jedi temple and look through more Data of any other worlds that was force sensitive, which there are tens of thousands of worlds and more so, it was going to bit of time to search for them.

(Jedi Archives)

Within the Archives as Andros is at work searching before he stop and lean back in a chair as he rub his eyes after reading over hundreds of documents of force sensitive worlds and had a list that was as big as his sword.

"So many worlds, so much words. Why couldn't the Makai order get an alchemist to do this, or at least get someone to help me search?" Andros said as he was still waiting on other to come and help him but it seem there are some delays of getting extra help with Churi wasn't interested of helping out unless he pays her, as Zaruba spoken with the mental link he share with him, "You just have to work through it, until someone else comes it's just us at the moment."

Raising Zaruba and open his face plate as he said, "I'm a Makai knight I was trained for combat, not research. It been a while sense my last horror hunt."

"Well most of your duty has been taken up by newly Makai knight as most horror you would hunt are just small fry, as if it was anything major, they would most likely get you to take care of it," Zaruba said as Andros shut the cover on him and lean back again as he said, "I just wish something does come up soon."

And by that his wish soon came true as he hear the sound of a bell ringing as he open his eyes, and look off to the side to see a small mask figure that seem like a child was standing before him, no doubt it was a messenger from the Makai order as they held up a letter for Andros, as he stood up from the chair and walk over as he held out his hand, the letter was soon place in it with Andros said to the messenger, "Thank you, you may go."

The messenger nodded as Andros look at his letter as soon enough another Bell rang, and the messenger was gone in a blink of an eye as Andros look closely at the letter, a red envelope with a wax seal on it as Andros soon walk out of the archives and find a more private area.

(Later)

Andros pull out his lighter and lit it, setting the letter on fire with the green flames, as it soon turns to ashes and the ash and flame form letters before him as he reads, "Come to the watchdog and receive you next order that will be told to you there. Stay on the path you take that will lead you to your destination."

"No doubt about it seem the order has a job for you," Zaruba said as Andros smile as he said, "Anything is better than looking through the Archives and do research, anything is better than that."

(With Ahsoka)

Ahsoka was brought along for an attack on a Separatist Base with her Master Anakin and Jedi Master Plo with many squads of Clones with them as they sneak through an illuminate forest, as a droid drop ship came forth dropping off more droids to the Separatist base.

As Master Plo look through the Macrobinoculars as it scan the area with the Jedi master he said, "Droid reinforcement have just arrive."

He move the Macrobinoculars away from his eyes as he said to the other members of the mission as he said, "We should break into three groups to divide their defenses. I'll take the left flank, Skywalker attacks the front gate, and Ahsoka you stay on the back wall, and we'll meet in the middle."

"Ok Scouts find me a way down there quiet like." Anakin said as he looked to the Aliens and Clones with him.

"Going through the front gate won't be easy." Ahsoka said as she looked to her Master.

"You have it tougher going over that wall all things considered." Anakin said as Ahsoka knew what he was talking about.

"You taught me well... I can handle anything." Ahsoka confirmed with a cocky smirk on her face.

"Don't get cocky." Anakin scolded a bit as he also knew Ahsoka, if the Makai Knight was right, could track down the tombs and allow their knew friends to put them back to sleep. With that in mind they all deployed to get the mission underway knowing there was no more time to delay.

(Later with Ahsoka's group)

Ahsoka and her Clones were walking through the jungle with the sound of wild life going on around them. As she walked Ahsoka then stopped as the Clones followed Suit. "Hold up... I sense something out there." Ahsoka said as she looked around for the source.

"A droid?" The clone asked as Ahsoka felt around with the Force.

"I don't think so." Ahsoka said as she made sure to feel out for that dark feeling from when the Horrors showed up... nothing. "Probably just an animal." Ahsoka said as she knew they had a job to do. "Come on we gotta get to that wall." Ahsoka said as they once more continued their trek through the jungle.

"Stay alert men. Let's move." The Clone serving as Ahsoka's second in command ordered and thus they once more began to move out.

(Over with Plo-Koon)

Plo looked to the wall as he and his Clones arrived at a hidden spot seeing it and the ship that was dropping off troops. "Skywalker Ahsoka are you in position?" Plo asked as he spoke into his communicator.

(Anakin)

Anakin with his clones got the message and in turn responded to him. "Ready and waiting Master Plo." Anakin said as he waited for the Jedi Master to give the order.

(Ahsoka)

Ahsoka hid behind a tree making sure to keep out of the Droids line of sight while doing so. "We're in position." Ahsoka said into her communicator waiting for the signal to move out.

(Droid Base)

A Tactical Droid with two Battle Droids were overlooking scanners when one Battle droids saw something. "We are detecting several Republic Tanks moving in on the Ridge in front of us." The Battle Droid said as the Tactical Droid heard this.

(Plo-Koon)

"Artillery Open Fire." Plo ordered into his communicator and thus the battle began.

(Tanks)

The Tanks in turn began to fire upon the base as the laser blasts hit the base head on causing damage to it.

(Droids)

"Form up for Counter attack lower the gate." The Tactical Droid ordered as the battle for the base began.

Droids began to move out as they headed to the gate that was being opened to let them out to fight. "Forward! Forward! Attack!" A Leading Battle Droid ordered as the Droids moved into battle.

(Anakin)

The Gate began to lower as coming out were Spider Droids that were walking out of the gate. As they walked they failed to notice the Clones and Anakin all lying in wait for them. Anakin seeing this went to his communicator and began to give orders. "Steady... Steady... wait for my move." Anakin ordered as Rex heard this from his position.

"Rodger That." Rex said ready to move out.

Once the Droids were close enough Anakin ignited is Lightsaber and went on the attack slashing and hacking his way through the Droids left and right. Slicing the legs off of one and stabbing another through the main bodies top part. Once Anakin moved in the Clones followed after him ready to do battle.

(Plo-Koon's team)

Plo seeing the lasers going off got ready to move and looked to his troops. "Follow me." He ordered before using a Force enhanced jump to scale over the wall. When he did so his Troops activated their jet packs and got ready for battle. Once they landed they took out their lasers and began firing at the Droids who were already firing upon them after they had landed.

(Ahsoka's team)

Ahsoka gave the signal to move in and thus the Clones did so and quickly took care of the Droid Sentries on the wall. Once they were done Ahsoka ran in and gave her next orders. "Comet, Seeker, Boost get up there!" Ahsoka ordered and thus the Clones began to scale the walls with cables as opposed to jetpacks.

All the while Ahsoka covered their rear with her Lightsaber and Shoto ignited ready for battle. Once the Clones were over the wall they looked over to Ahsoka ready for her to arrive. "We're all clear Commander come on up." the Clone ordered but Ahsoka felt something was amiss here.

"I'll be right there." Ahsoka confirmed and thus the Clones went on ahead. But when they left Ahsoka in that briefest moment was distracted enough for a laser net to be fired and hit her. It began to shock her causing the Jedi Padawan to cry out in pain from the shocks. When Ahsoka fell down unconscious the attacker laughed as he made his appearance known to them. "I can't believe my luck a Jedi Youngling." The reptilian creature said revealing himself to be a Trandoshan before he grabbed Ashoka's arm and proceeded to drag her off.

(Back to the battle)

Within the base as the clones over whelm the droids with their surprise attacks, with Anakin make short work of the spider walker droids.

He soon reached the tactical droid and cut it down quickly before it could send any messages out as the battle soon died down, the Separatist base was now theirs as Anakin walk over and reported, "The outpost is secured. Good job corporal."

Suddenly Anakin notice someone was missing as he didn't see his padawan as he asked, "Where is commander Tano?"

"She was covering our flank when we scaled the wall," the Clone corporal said as Anakin knew Ahsoka should have join the group soon after as he seem a bit worry as he said, "Everybody fan out, I want a perimeter sweep now."

"Ahsoka state your location," Anakin said but there was no respond, with Master Plo seem worry when Ahsoka didn't respond, as Anakin keep trying.

(Ahsoka)

The young Jedi is seen within a cage as she soon awake from her Taser nap as she hear her master call out as he said, "Ahsoka come in. Are you there, can you hear me?"

As she lifted up her head and groin as she soon became more awake as she saw where she was at, or rather what she is in with Anakin voice keep calling out, "Ahsoka come in. Where could she be?"

Ahsoka went to the top of the cage and try to pray it open but it was heavy and lock tight as she saw the Trandoshan with her communicator as she hear Anakin speak out, "Ahsoka can you her me? Ahsoka!"

"You won't be need this," the Trandoshan said before breaking it and Anakin's voice went dead with the creature laugh and went off, as she look around and saw the other cages and sees someone across from her as she asked the person across from her, "Hey what is this place? Who are these pirates?"

"These are Trandoshan," the person across from her said in a heavy voice as he went on saying, "They are going to release us and hunt us for sport."

"Hunt us down?" Ahsoka said as she didn't like the sound of that and try to think of a way to get out quickly or hope she can be found quickly.

(The Trandoshan)

At het cockpit area as the Trandoshan from before join its friends as it says, "We have found new pray for the hunt. The youngling will provide a great sport."

The white skin Trandoshan said to a 3rd Trandoshan and said, "Perhaps your first Jedi kill."

The 3rd one just growl out as it sound excited as the white skin Trandoshan said as he grab the 3rd ones shoulder, "Are you ready Young Dar?"

"She'll die by my claws," Dar said as they laugh to this as they will be in for a surprise.

(Outside)

The Trandoshan ship soon takes off as it hovers up and left for the hunting grounds.

(The Trandoshan)

The 3 cheered out as the first Trandoshan said, "Your son will out play all comers."

The pilots of the ship give a small laugh themselves as one hit the hyperspace jump control and soon they were gone.

(Andros)

Andros soon came down the halls of watchdog Velina, as the Twi'lek sat upon her throne while Andros entered Andros in turn does his normal bow and greets her, "Lady Velina."

"Andros good to see you once again, as I have you come here for a reason," Velina said as he asked, "Is it a horror?"

"Nothing of the sort, it that the other watchdogs of the other districts and sectors has been doing what they can of help finding the tombs, and I've gotten message of possible locations of some, but one was located," The watchdog said as Andros is surprise by this news as eh guess the Makai order was helping him out just not directly, and with this news of one tomb, other maybe on the verge of being discover as well as he said, "That good, where is the location of it?"

"That has yet to be known to me, as usually the other would send a messenger to deliver it, but due to the nature of its important, and the situation of the Clone Wars, it's being hand delivered to us but the situation has change as it cannot be deliver to our location directly so I will need you to retrieve it yourself," Velina said as Andros nodded and smile as he finally getting off world again with his ship, as he said, "I'll get the information then, and return back with it."

"You will need this thought," Velina said as she held up a navigation data drive as she toss it to him, he caught it with ease as she said to him, "That will tell you where the information is at. Go there, retrieve it and return back soon, and make sure no one else get their hands on it for who will know of this could use the information for their own ends."

"I won't fail you, a promise will make on my life," Andros said before taking off as Zaruba said, "Off onto a new adventure then."

(Hanger area)

Andros walk up to a Hanger area where he store his ship at, where he pass by homeless, thugs, and possible crack pots, with one guy coming up to him and offer color stick as he said, "What to buy some Death stick?"

"You don't want to sell me Death stick," Andros said as he wave his hand using the mind trick he pick up on as the guy put away the stick and said, "I don't want to sell you Death sticks."

"You want to go home and rethink your life," Andros said as the guy soon walks off as he said, "I want to go home and rethink my life."

"You're getting good with that," Zaruba said to him as Andros said while keep on going, "Yea, too bad I can't use it on Churi, to pay me back the credit for the bill, strong greedy minded she is."

Soon reaching hanger 160 as the doors open, as he saw before him his ship, the Corellian YT-2660, or what he calls it as he said, "Gold storm, good to see you again."

Walking up to his ship as he activate the ramp with the remote he had as it lower down and was greeted by BD-G2 as it as Andros walk up and said, "Hey Buddy, thank for watching over the ship for me, but now we got a mission."

BD-G2 beep out as he follow Andros with the ramp door close behind him as came up to the cockpit, as Andros took pilot seat and BD-G2 took co-pilot seat, with the Makai knight started up the engines, and pull in the navigation data drive to get the location of the info he needed to find as he said, "Let's go G."

(Outside)

Gold Storm started to hover up as the engines were lit, turning in a direction before it flew off into space.

(Back with Ahsoka)

The Ship had arrived at an unknown planet covered with water and islands. The ship sailed through space unknown as in the cockpit the Trandoshins smiled almost excited for what was to come. "We'll take this batch to island four." The Leader said as he looked to the pilot who nodded.

(In the cargo hold)

Ahsoka tried to focus on a plan to make as she was still stuck in the cage. As she sat there she looked and saw a young man nearby who seemed oddly calm about all of this. He sat against the bars almost meditating as if expecting what was to come. Ahsoka tried to look closer but he was a bit away from her so she couldn't get a good look.

The man then looked to her and caused her to yelp when he did so. "We'll be arriving soon." The man said all of a sudden catching her off guard.

"What?" Ahsoka asked and just then she heard gears moving before the doors below them opened up freeing them. They looked up and saw the ship hovering above them as the newest pray looked worried save for one. The man from before glared at the ship as Ahsoka saw he was a Chiss and now that she got a good look at him she noticed how he was dressed similar to Andros. She noticed how he flexed his hand a bit showing they were gloved with archery gloves. But Ahsoka also noticed that the man was on edge with his defense up ready for anything.

She then saw how his eyes seemed to scan the ship almost looking for something... no looking for weakness to exploit and weapons to disarm.

(Cockpit)

"Time to see whose smart enough to join the hunt." The Leader began before looking to the side. "Open fire!" He ordered and thus one of his gunners did so. He laughed sadistically before taking aim at their prey. But unaware to any of them one of the 'prey,' was very much armed and deadly.

(Beach)

Before the laser gantline could fire an arrow flew at it and deactivated it narrowly hitting the gunner as well due to how it was aimed. All eyes flew to the Chiss and saw he was armed with a bow and arrow as somehow by some unexplained reason he was armed with a quiver to boot.

"Everyone move now!" He ordered and thus everyone did as told as the scrambled into the woods as the archer kept the Trandoshins attention on him by firing off more arrows from his quiver.

(Ship)

"Why is that man armed!?" The leader yelled looking for the ones in charge of acquisitions. "Who didn't strip him of his weapons!?" He yelled looking for the one responsible as the Trandoshins on board honestly had no clue as they were certain he had been disarmed of all his weapons.

(Battle)

The Chiss saw more lasers on him and quickly moved to disarm the while the spotlight was on him. He then got to Ahsoka and the two looked to each other before they began to run into the woods. No doubt they had run at a random direction but no doubt the Chiss male had bought them time to move.

(Ship)

"Repair the guns." The Leader said as he saw the archer had escaped. "And get me acquisitions." He said slurring his S's as he spoke. "And I want that archer to be the first to die." He said and thus took his leave of the group.

(Ahsoka)

Ahsoka and her archer friend ran into the woods and once they got far enough the Archer took out his bow and scanned the perimeter with his weapons. "Thank you." Ahsoka said as she looked to the archer.

"Don't look to deep into it, I simply could not and would not allow an innocent to die like that." The young Chiss male said as he lowered his bow but kept a firm grip on it. She looked at his weapon and noticed it glistened in the light similar to the Garoken.

"Hey I have to ask... are you a... Makai Knight?" Ahsoka asked only to be pinned to the tree by the Chiss who held a lighter before he lit it. He looked into her eyes and saw no reaction to it before he eased off her.

"Where did you hear that?" The Chiss asked as he looked to Ahsoka.

"Andros... the Golden Knight." Ahsoka said to which the Chiss nodded.

"Then I suppose that makes you the one the Order spoke of." The Chiss said before sighing a bit. "Phonon, a Makai Knight." He introduced as he looked to Ahsoka.

"Ahsoka Tano… Jedi Padawan." She introduced as she looked to the young Makai Knight who stood before her.

"So… where do we go from here?" Ahsoka asked with Phonon was about to say something until he aim his bow in a direction with an arrow ready as he said, "The group that hiding there. Come out or be recognized as an enemy."

Suddenly 3 people came forth as Ahsoka was surprise 3 people came out a human female, a Twi'lik male, and a Cerean male as the human female spoken up saying, "We're not your enemy, please don't shot."

Phonon lower his bow but keep the arrow in place as he said to them, "May I ask why you approach us?"

"We came to find if there are any survivors, then we found you two," the girl said as Phonon said, "Are there any others?"

"Just us." the girl said as no one made a move or sound being afraid they could make the wrong move as Phonon looked at them for a moment before taking the arrow off the string of the bow and put it away as he said, "You have a form of shelter?"

"We do, if you want, you two can follow us to it," the girl said as the Chiss Makai knight nodded as Ahsoka soon ask, "But wait, who are you?"

The girl stop for a moment as she turn around and answered, "We use to be Jedi Younglings."

Soon enough they were off with Phonon following them and Ahsoka with little to no choice she follow them seeing a Makai knight was with them, she was certain they can be safe with him at least.

(Later)

Going over hills, walking over large roots to pass over a crevice below before leaping into a large tree with a hole in it that was big enough to take shelter in, and as Ahsoka asked them how the group got here as the Twi'lik male said to her, "We never stood a chance. They attacked us on a training mission."

"We were captured, and brought here," The girl said as Ahsoka soon asked them, "Why did they take younglings?"

"Because Jedi knights are too powerful for them," The Twi'lik male said, "I'm Kalifa, this is Omer and jinx, who are you two?" Kalifa said as Phonon said, "You didn't hear us talking to each other before I found you?"

"No we just arrive before you call out to us, as how did you found us so easily?" Omer asked as Phonon said to him, "You were silent but my eyesight was sharp enough to see a tree move without any wind blowing, but to I guess you asked a question of my name, I am Phonon."

"Ahsoka Tano, I was captured during the Battle of Felucia. I'm a Padawan learner. What the situation here?" Ahsoka asked them as Kalifa said, "You better sit down."

The two of them went around a fire that within a bowl, that's hang by a vines that were tied above so nothing could catch fire within the tree unless someone knocks it over, with Kalifa began to tell their story as she started off saying, "We're taken by those foul lizards for their amusement, be hunted, killed, and mounted on their walls as Trophies."

"We've been stuck here for more rotations than we can count, no one has come for us, I doubt anyone is still looking for us," Omer said as Phonon said, "Then your situation has change."

"Why do you say that Chiss?" the Twi'lik asked him as he doubt anyone would come as suddenly he pull out a device and said, "Because I hold a certain information the origination I work for is looking for, in case I was captured by my enemies I have a beacon transmitter only people of the Organization can track, but there no certain of how long before they can arrive."

"How did you get captured anyways? You have a weapon and very good with it, why not escape?" Ahsoka asked as the others wonder the same thing as Phonon sit cross legged as he said, "I was taken by surprise by these pirates. They shot down my ship and try to capture me right away, but I quickly take what supplies I could take and prepared to take on them, but then I discover the cargo they had upon their ship."

Ahsoka is surprise by this guy as he went on saying, "To my idea, I plan on getting them out but in the situation I was in, I cannot match these pirates with the weapon I have if I went in to save everyone, so I let myself be captured, with my weapons hidden where they didn't think to look at, and the beacon that was meant to locate possession to my hope an associate of my mine will come to locate me, stop these pirate and get everyone off this world."

"Yea well I will not hold my breath, little chance of someone really coming to save us, if they didn't find us by now, I doubt those who you work out won't find you here ether, even if they do find you they will be adding to the body count," the Twi'lik said as it sounded like he given up and just focusing on just surviving as he lay his head down and said, "Chew on that and rest. You'll need your strength."

Everyone was silent as the other two seem to have similar thoughts as Ahsoka didn't know what to tell them as she was about to say something until Phonon said, "It is quite late, you all should get some rest."

He lay back and close his eyes going back to his meditation as he said, "I'll see you all in the morning."

The other two former Jedi younglings went off to their own sleeping spots with Ahsoka looking at Phonon and wonder if he really going to help or not unknown for certain she just find a spot to lay down as well and grab some shuteye.

As everyone was silent and the fire dim down, only the embers of it remains with Phonon was still wide away as he thinking of what his next plan of action should be, as suddenly he felt a pull on his bow in his hands, not someone was trying to take it from him, or more something is grabbing his attention, his armor was calling out to him as he knew what it meant, something dark and evil was on the same world as them.

Other survivors perhaps that survive when they were brought here, within this environment and being hunted down like animal by those lizard people, a good chance that a survivor may have gotten possess by a horror.

(Anakin)

Anakin, master Plo, and the clone troopers were still on Felucia, as Anakin had his eyes close maybe trying to sense Ahsoka's present as suddenly Rex came up to him and said, "General We've been over the same area a dozen times, there's no sigh of Commander Tano."

"Not good enough Rex, Try again," Anakin order as Rex just give a nod and went on his way with Master Plo coming up to him and said, "We have alerted our forces throughout the outer rim and intelligence has assets inside the Confederacy. If she's spotted we shall know about it."

"Good," Anakin said there was nothing much else to say with Master Plo is worry about Ahsoka, but he is also worry about Anakin as he said, "Skywalker, our mission here is finish, we must return to Coruscant."

"I'm not abandoning her," Anakin said as Master Plo said to him, "Your emotions are clouding your judgement."

"I will not leave her fate up to others," Anakin said as Master Plo said to him without any argue as his word is final, "It's time to go."

Master Plo walk back to the ship with his troops as Anakin stay in place for a bit as Anakin knew he has no choice as he raise his communicator as he said, "Call everybody in Rex, we're leaving."

He soon turn around and head to the transport ship as well and pray that Ahsoka is okay.

(Phonon)

The archer Makai knight was still up as dawn has not come, yet a glow in the sky show the sun will be rising soon, as he was on a tree root, with an make shift arrow drawn, taking aim at something before letting the arrow flew forwards as the sound of it hitting its target is heard of an animal giving a death cry before going silent quickly.

After a little bit, Phonon was heading back to the hole in the tree with some very fresh caught pray over his shoulder, and a bag full of something in his hands with his bow is hanging on the quivers of arrows that was on his back.

Soon enough as the sun has risen, the morning has come as Ahsoka was awaken by a sizzling sound follow by an aroma smell that hit her nose, and everyone else's noses it seem as everyone started to wake up and look towards their fire pit area and saw Phonon… cooking?

"W-what?" Ahsoka asked as Phonon cooked the food.

"If you want to eat and have strength for the day I suggest you sit down and eat fast." Phonon said as he looked to the group as he cooked.

"Where... when?" Kalifa asked as she looked to Phonon.

"Last night in the jungle." Phonon said as he looked to the group. "I'm surprised you didn't figure this out already." Phonon said as he looked to the group.

"Put it out they'll get out scent!" Omer nearly yelled but Phonon pointed to the entrance. Jinx looked it over as he put his hand on the edges before sniffing it. When he did so he gagged at the scent hitting his nose as the result.

"What is this?" Jinx asked as he glared at Phonon.

"Camouflage they can't track our scent if they can't find it." Phonon said as the three younglings were surprised by this. "Now I suggest you eat any leftovers I'll dry it for rations later." Phonon said suggesting he knew what he was doing better than the others. "Just something to think about I got a good lay of the land not a complete one just enough to maneuver most parts last night while hunting for food." Phonon said as it seems he was productive and provided results.

In turn everyone began to dig in as they were all wide eyed when the food hit their taste buds. "Incredible this is good." Ahsoka said surprised by this as Jinx agreed.

"Yeah I haven't had food this good, since... well forever." Kalifa said as everyone saw what he did.

"It's a talent." Phonon said as he ate his food.

"Hunter and cook interesting." Jinx said as he looked to the Makai Knight.

"Less talking more eating." Phonon said as he ignored the group and continued to eat.

(Meanwhile Trandoshins)

The leader had his eyes closed as around him his crew was resting. Around him were pelts and heads of the poor victims from the hunt their trophies as it were. In turn his eyes opened when the sun hit his face and thus he knew that now it was time. "The sun has risen." He began before standing up. "Let the hunt begin!" He roared out and thus the Trandoshins all cheered in response to this.

They began to take their leave grabbing their weapons while leaving the room. As they did this they headed down to the platform below and began to mount hover vehicles no doubt made for hunting. One even began to shoot wildly in joy as they flew down to the surface below to hunt their newest targets.

(Back with the younglings, Ahsoka, and Phonon)

The group was traversing the woods with Phono having a quiver of makeshift arrows while he kept it trained on any possible foe nearby. Just then Kalifa heard something and in turn acted. "Get down!" She ordered as everyone did as told while Phonon kept an arrow trained. Phonon then lowered his arrow as he looked and saw two people walking through the woods. Ahsoka then saw them and instantly recognized them from back on the ship. "Those two came in with us. We should help them." Ahsoka said as Phonon had a duty as one who protects so he agreed with her.

But before either Phonon or Ahsoka could act Kalifa stopped them. "No... It's too late." She said as she knew what was next for those poor souls. As the group watched Phonon refused to let this woman die simply because three clearly traumatized Younglings were too scared to act. He could not blame them for that but he knew something had to be done... that and Andros, Jinga, Churi, and their perverted playboy of a fourth friend Logos would never let him hear the end of it if and when they find out about all of this.

Phonon eyes suddenly jerk upwards as he saw a shadow moves, as he suddenly took action, surprising the 4 youngling, and the other two victims that was also trap on the world they were on, by leaping down with an arrow drawn and fire in a up above him as he landed a shot into a blaster which exploded in the hands of an Trandoshin that was in a hovercraft hovering above the trees, as they cry out in pain.

"You two run and hid under cover," Phonon said as he draw three more made arrow from his quiver of other arrows he made, as another Trandoshin came out with their blaster rifle as they try to take aim with it but Phonon was quickly on the draw as he fire 3 arrows one after the other that were all on his hands in less than a second.

The first arrow hit the scope of the weapon disabling its aim as it show through it with the Transdoshin back his head away from it before it hit his eye, then the other two arrow into an engine causing it to malfunction as the hovercraft the hunters were using as it suddenly flip over dumping out the hunters inside of it, as they fell through the trees that broken their fall enough to survive with their hover craft flew away, crashing into a tree someplace else.

The two Transdoshin were recovering from their fall as they stood up, but they didn't see Phonon coming as he smack one with his bow, with the other reaching for his side blaster as Phonon duck to dodge a blast from it, while smacking it out of the lizard man's hand and punch them, with the first one came at him from behind but he twirl to dodge it and put the wire of the bow at his neck as he ran forward but was pull back by the string itself to be punch in the back of their head knocking them out.

The last one stood up after that punch and pick up their blaster and aim it at Phonon only for him to draw another arrow and fire it all within a second, knocking the blaster out of their hands before he ran up and kick the Transdoshin at his chest and send him into a tree branch, knocking them out on the impacted as they fell face first into the ground.

The 4 younglings were speechless as they just witness something they thought was impossible for a normal being to do, but he did it with ease.

Phonon looked around for the two from earlier and saw them already gone, no doubt headed for a more cover area, with the younglings coming out from the trees as the Ahsoka said, "Wow that was amazing."

"How did you do that?" Kalefa said to him as Jinx came up to him and said sounding angry, "Do you have any idea what you just did?"

"What I did what you 3 should have done!" Phonon said in a snap which scared them and Ahsoka as well, with the Chiss Makai knight has a scolding look on his face as he look at them and said, "Jedi job should be one of peace and preserve life of all kind, and be brave in the face of danger."

The youngling look down in shame with Ahsoka watch as Phonon keeps going as he said, "You 3 have forgotten your training, and thus failed to help save lives who are trap here as much you three as well. As Tano wanted to help, you three stood by in fear and prevented her from doing her duty when those two were about to die, if I were a Jedi, I will be very disappointed."

If there was any more level of shame they would seem to have it as Phonon said to them, "As one such as myself are train to face danger no matter what it is, and cannot let fear or sorrow hold us back, as long their a life that still needs protecting. Shallow your fear, and pull out your courage as it's your duty to protect, and find a way off this world. If you do not, then you will find yourself left behind or dying."

Everyone was silent as Phonon look at the three as they didn't know how to respond to this as he look at the 2 hunters as he said, "I'll take care of these two, you 4 search for anymore that could be coming."

He stood pick up the two hunters and taken them to someplace within the forest area as the 4 soon did as they were told as they headed up as Ahsoka said to them, "He right, if we don't do something so we may never get off this world, we have to act."

"There were other padawans here as they thought as you do now, but none of them came close to what he has done," Jinx said as Ahsoka asked him, "What happen to them?"

"They're dead," Kalefa said angrily… as then she remember what they did after their friends failed to get off world as she said to herself keeping herself from crying, "We left them behind to die."

Ahsoka look at them as and said, "Just because they failed, doesn't mean we will."

"You don't understand," Omer said as he started to explain to Ahsoka as he said, "It not that we don't want to fight, we're younglings, they have every advantage."

"Then you failed at noticing what they don't have," Phonon said as he came back, suddenly appearing near them as they turn to him as he said, "They may have the weapons, the gear, and knowledge of how to use them, but we have something just as great and powerful and I'm not talking about the force."

"What's that?" Ahsoka said as Phonon point to his head as he said, "Your minds, if you figure out how to use it, it will become your greatest ally."

(Andros)

As the Gold storm was approaching the location of the information holder, as they were going through Hyperspace as traveling across billions of light years away Andros said, "Dropping out of Hyperspace in 3… 2... 1."

Pulling a lever as his view was bright light now dark space and a planet that was nearby as he said, "Now why would a messenger be doing here?"

BD-G2 beep out as Andros said, "Yea, maybe but still but I didn't expect anyone to come to Felucia to hide sense this world is a war zone. Let's find a clearing."

(In space)

The Gold storm flew down to the planet as they try to locate their mysterious messenger.

(Later)

Andros was walking over the glowing plants and stuff before he came to a clearing and saw what was before him as he said, "Oh great."

Before him was a shot down ship, by the damage on it, the messenger or at least he pilot was taken by surprise and crash landed on the planet.

"BD." Andros began as BD then popped out from his spot on his back. "Search around for any survivors." Andros said as BD then jumped off and began to scan about for their missing messenger. Just then Andros heard a ring and in turn opened up Zaruba to let him speak. "What do you have for me Zaruba?" Andros asked as he looked to Zaruba.

"It seems this ship may belong to someone we know." Zaruba said as he noted the familiarity with the ship.

"Now that you mention it... it does look familiar." Andros said as in turn the two entered the wrecked ship for any survivors.

(Inside)

Andros looked for the ships pilots, belongings of the crew, or anything to suggest the information was here. It wasn't long until he found something as he moved it aside to see a crest he was most familiar with. "Should have guess." Andros said as he looked to the information which was no empty.

"Always five moves ahead that one was." Zaruba said as he remembered that particular Chiss.

"But if this is his ship." Andros began to which Zaruba understood while Andros looked around.

"Where is Phonon?" Zaruba finished for Andros as BD then came back to Andros.

"Anything?" He asked to which BD made a sad whirl sound while looking down. "It's ok you tried you best." Andros comforted the droid who nodded and ran around a bit happy to know Andros wasn't to upset about this information.

"Now then we best get moving if he's nearby we should look for any tracks if not we may need to look around the sector to see if he's nearby." Zaruba said knowing this area of the Galaxy had planets that were hospitable to life. The question was which one he was currently on.

(Scene Break Ahsoka and Phonon's group)

The group had returned to camp and found themselves looking over the weapons they had managed to secure from those Trandoshins. Ahsoka glared at it a she couldn't get it to work or fire for her as Phonon was cooking their newest meal over the fire. "I don't understand why won't this thing work?" Ahsoka asked as she looked at the weapon.

"The Trandoshins deactivate the blasters if we take them that is why none of us have any." Jinx said as he looked to Ahsoka.

"Pity." Phonon said as he was the only one with an actual weapon and the draw back was he could not use it on the Trandoshins.

"It's been a long time since the Trandoshins captured another Padawan and brought them here." Kelifa said as she looked to Ahsoka.

Ahsoka then scoffed and crossed her arms before leaning back. "Thanks." She said taking offense to being reminded of that.

"I didn't mean it as an insult I meant it at the sign, a mistake on their part." Kelifa said as Phonon saw where this was going.

"Phono... Ahsoka." Kelifa began by bringing both of them into the subject. "You're Energies, your strength, your resolve, and you skills it's what we've been lacking." Kelifa said as she looked to the duo. "We were beginning to lose hope and forgot who we are." Kelifa said as Ahsoka then looked to the trio.

"And who are you?" She asked to which Phonon saw the wise question there.

"We are Jedi." Kelifa spoke and thus Ahsoka and Phonon smiled.

"Then we need a strategy." Ahsoka said but Phonon spoke up.

"And gear." He added to which they all looked to him. "If we can't use the Trandoshan's gear and we lack ours... then we make our own." Phonon said as he then tore out a root from outside. "And we start... with this." He said as he looked to the group as Ahsoka then nodded.

"Ok we better get to work then because once we're done... wear going hunting." Ahsoka said as it was time to go from being the prey to being the Hunters. "They have to have a base or a compound right?" Ahsoka asked to which Kelifa looked confused.

"Not that we've ever seen." Kelifa said to which Phonon had a few ideas why.

"So either its inland or it's well-hidden." Phonon listed off but then looked up to the roof. "Or it's in a spot we can't reach." He said as he listed off possible locations the base can be in.

"Then we need to start looking, tomorrow we start making weapons... primitive style and then we go find their base." Ahsoka said to which Phonon nodded as he would be helping with that.

(The forest)

The two Trandoshan that Phonon had beaten were stumbling across the lands as they try to find their comrades as one said to his friend, "That Chisss will pay for what he did to usss."

"Agreed, as once I get a hold of him, I'll snap his arms before tearing them from hisss sssocket!" the other said unknown something was following them from the shadows as it pass by with the sound of a twig snap, making both of them stop.

"Whosss their?" the first one ask as they heard the snap clear as they turn towards that direction as one had a light still as they turn it on and see in the dark, and saw a person there with long hair that cover their face wearing raged clothing as they were standing still, silently and quietly as one of the Trandoshan said, "Look at thisss, one from an old hunt."

"If we take this one, the other will look the other way of our missstake," the first one said as suddenly one of them pull out a hidden knife they had on them as they turn back to where they saw the person just to see them gone as the first one said, "Where did the pray go?"

Suddenly they felt hands on their shoulder, they turn with the light shining on the being that was touching them and saw the same figure from before with their hair push aside to see their face as they saw pure white eyes, with the person mouth suddenly split open in three parts that was unnatural while giving out a terrifying roar with the two Trandoshans scream out as well before thing went dark with a sickening crunch is heard.

(Trandoshan's ship)

All the Trandoshans had gather as one stood in front of a fire as the other were chanting, "Dar. Dar. Dar!"

The chanting became louder and louder until Dar turn around and throw his arms in the air for celebration for something as he went down the row while head butting one before chest bump another as he was celebrating with them before Dar came up to his father with the chanting died down.

Dar's father put a hand on his son's dead before letting out a roar with the other did the same.

Upon the walls in the ship the face of many species are seen with their expression look in horror before death came to them as the last faces seen were Wookie.

(Awaken)

Ahsoka open her eyes and gasp from the dream she had… or a vision from the force, as she look up around and saw Kelifa near her with a voice spoken out silently, "Bad dream?"

She look over and saw Phonon in front of the fire as he was putting together some weapons for everyone, spears made of wood with stone spear heads, bolas that are just two stones tied with vines, Some stone clubs with wooden handles, even a primitive bow with arrows to go with it as he was making more of them as he place in a Quiver that seem to be made of leaves, wood, and something very sticky that keep it all together, as he place one arrow in it at a time and he was doing it with his eyes close.

"How long you been up doing this?" Ahsoka asked as she never seen someone made so many weapon in so little time as Phonon said, "Hours."

"And you haven't sleep yet?" Ahsoka said sounded a bit worry as she never seen a person stay up for so long to make something as Phonon said, "My mind is a state of rest while my body works. I know out everything is made that I require no site to make something."

He made another arrow with ease as he place it in the Quiver as Ahsoka couldn't believe he was doing it as she thought the force was the only thing that does amazing thing as she asked him, "Are you force sensitive?"

"No, I just had years of practice. Training at a young age, being prepared for what waits in shadows or prepared to survive as if you have no weapons to defend yourself with, then its best to make them," Phonon said as he put away the another arrow as he open his eyes as he look at Ahsoka as he said, "Even if I am blind, I'll still fight in the dark by the sounds alone."

"But that is just impossible to do without the force," Ahsoka said as she never seen anyone who wasn't a Jedi fight blind as they have the force to help them as Phonon said to her, "You don't have to be force sensitive to do what seem impossible, as people didn't just build ships with the force. It took ideas, thought, time and word to make it so, and as a someone once said to another, "If others believe things are impossible, then you make it possible with your heart, mind, and pair of hands"… and he was right."

Ahsoka was baffled by Phonon with the wise of wisdom and she wonder as she asked him, "Who said that, your master?"

"No it wasn't, my master just train me to become a strong Makai knight, the one who said it, you should already know who, as you have meet him," Phonon said as Ahsoka eyes widen to this as she look to Phonon and knew he was talking about Andros as she was about to say something until Phonon spoken up first, "Go back to sleep now, you will need it, as early rise I will made sure everyone is prepared for what's to come."

Ahsoka didn't know what to say, but she just nodded and lay back down as Phonon went on to make more arrows.

(Andros)

"Still nothing." Andros said as he scanned Felucia and the local planets for any signs of Phonon but nothing. Andros rubbed his eyes to which Zaruba noticed.

"You're tired." Zaruba said as Andros looked to the Madou ring.

"I've run on less before." Andros said as Zaruba heard this.

"In most cases yes... but something has you... on edge." Zaruba said as he looked to Andros.

"The Force." Andros said as he felt it. "Somehow... it feels as if something or someone is calling to me." Andros said as he sat on the pilot seat. "Like someone I know is in danger... and scared somehow." Andros said to which Zaruba chuckled a bit.

"Then perhaps you best follow it." Zaruba responded to which Andros sighed and activated the communication system of his ship.

It want long until Anakin showed up on screen and looked to Andros. "Andros where have you been?" Anakin asked as Andros noticed he was worried.

"I'm trying to find a friend he has information about the Tombs." Andros said to which Anakin understood. "Somehow though I fell there's more to it." Andros trailed off before focusing back to the conversation. "Anyway anything from Ahsoka and her possible connections to the Tombs?" Andros asked as he looked to Anakin.

"We can't get any information... Ahsoka had gone missing." Anakin said to which Andros went wide eyed in response to this.

"What when Where?!" Andros asked knowing how valuable Ahsoka was to stopping this galactic scale disaster in the making.

"We lost her on Felucia." Anakin confirmed to which Andros felt his worse fears made real.

"Their connected." Andros said as he looked to the side. "My friend he was also taken from Felucia where he crashed during a fire fight no doubt caught in the crossfire." Andros confirmed to which Anakin heard this.

"What are you saying?" Anakin asked as Andros had a theory.

"I'm saying if anything they may be in the system somewhere and if not..." Andros trailed off to which Anakin got the gist of it.

"Slavers." Anakin growled to which Andros cut in.

"That or Horrors the point remains we need to look through the system to areas they may have been taken." Andros said to which Anakin agreed.

"I'll get my men to give you a hand." Anakin said to which Andros nodded and looked to him.

"I'll find them... I promise." Andros said as Anakin nodded.

"I know may the force be with you." Anakin said before the communication ended for them.

(Back with Phonon and Ahsoka's group morning)

The group was exploring the forest as Phonon had equipped them all with weapons to use while out here. For Ahsoka he had given to her a bow to use seeing as she was older and more experienced with combat with a spear to boot. He handed all the Younglings a spear and Bolas with stone clubs. Clearly Phonon had experience surviving like this as he and Ahsoka stayed with the group keeping a look out for anything amiss.

The group had managed to search the beach and the forest covered bay for any sign of the Trandoshins base. Phonon took point of course as he made sure to cover their scents and even back stepped a bit to keep their footprints from being tracked that way. So far they had varying success with it as they had yet to be found... then again the Trandoshians may not have even begun to hunt yet so that was to be factored in as well.

"Let's take a breather, get under some shade here," Phonon said as he turn into a shaded area as the other follow with Jinx listed out thing, "We've already covered the beach area and most of the briar on this side of the bay."

"If it was easy to find, you guys would have found it before I got here," Ahsoka said as she does make a point as Jinx said, "True enough."

"Maybe we should try more inland," Ahsoka said as Phonon turn his head suddenly while the other didn't notice it as Kelifa said, "It worth a-

"Quite!" Phonon said as Ahsoka look to him and asked, "What wrong?"

Phonon started to point his finger upwards without looking and said, "I think I discover their base."

Suddenly the sound of a ship came flying over as they all look up and saw the Trandoshians base flying over them as soon enough hover pods came in as Phonon said, "Scattered, if we stay together we become easy targets, I'll try to draw them my way, and remember what I taught you."

Everyone split as the hover pods came with Phonon taking possession as he pull out one arrow and take aim as the hover pods moving across the skies before he let one rip, hitting a pod in one of its engines to make it stall as it came down and crash In the trees somewhere.

The other pods spotted him as the leader of the Trandoshians saw him as he call out, "Go after that one, we'll take the Jedi Whims."

As the other pods went after Phonon with the two pods chase after the younglings, as Phonon drew another arrow and fire it at another pod and aim it at its gun as it started firing, hitting it in one of tis barrels as when the gun turn on it the gun exploded brining down another pod as Phonon soon ran with other pods flying after him.

(O-mer and Jinx)

The two youngling ran as fast as they could with one pod finding them, they soon split up as the gun started firing upon them, as Jinx took over in a thick area where the gun could not shoot through before it was turn O-mer as the gun fire upon him.

Out running the blast shots as O-mer ran up a tree and back flip away, as Jinx came out of his hiding spot and throw his Bolas at the gunner as he was tangle up in the vines and hit in the face with one of the two rocks on it, dazing the gunner as jinx call out to O-mer, "O-mer this way!"

O-mer nodded as eh made a break for it with the pilot of the hover pod took over quickly of the gun and try to shoot the two as they went through a thick area where the hover pod cannot go into.

(Ahsoka and Kelifa)

The two youngling were being chase down by Dar and his father and a 3rd member of their hunters as the gun was blaster all around them as the two leap from tree to tree to avoid the shots.

Kelifa soon landed on a branch that was quickly shot at, weakening it as Ahsoka look back to her and call out, "Kelifa!"

She try to reach out but she was too far and it as too late as the branch gave out fast under the young Jedi's feet as she fell a long way down with few branches slowing her fall to the ground floor as she reach it, she was hurt all around and see can barely move as it is.

Dar's father turn to him, as he said with a happy tone, "Finish her, my son. The kill is yours"

"I will kill her with my own hands," Dar said as eh leap out of the hover pod and went down to Kelifa and try to finish her off.

(Kelifa)

She started to crawl away, trying to find a place to hide and recover, as she pick herself up against a tree and hope she wasn't found, but then Dar showed up reaching out to her while giving a growl before he was force push away by Kelifa.

She made her escape as she leap up onto an area above while Dar recover from the force push and ran after her as he tries to reach out to her while saying, "Come here you Jedi Whelp."

Of course Kelifa was faster as she jumped up to a higher spot as she went for one of the weapons Phonon had made. She held the spear on her person in a defensive stance trying to escape. She bashed the Trandoshian back every chance she got as she needed to get to the others. But as she moved she soon found her spear knocked out of her hand as the Trandoshian laughed at her.

"Not so impressive are you." He said aiming his rifle at the now cornered Kelifa. "Yet you have the honor of being my first Jedi Kill." Dar said snarling in excitement in killing Kelifa. "First of many I hope." Dar said as unknown to him Ahsoka was up top.

In turn Ahsoka struck as she jumped down and knocked Dar down hopefully knocking him out. As this happened she hoped that was the end of it but alas she was wrong as Dar got back up and fired at Ahsoka. Ahsoka of course dodged the attack with ease before she Force Pushed Dar's rifle just as he fired it. Dar of course tried to get a second shot in only for Ahsoka to use the Force once more to deflect the shot. Dar of course had enough and roared as he charged at Ahsoka and swung his rifle at her to use it as a blunt weapon. But Ahsoka dodged it by going to a crouching position before jumping up and spin kicking Dar away.

Dar of course on the ground managed to kick Ahsoka's feet out from under her before he went for her face and tried to crush her head if not tear off her face. Ahsoka in turn responded by grabbing Dar's face and kicking him off her before attempting to jump away. But alas Dar grabbed her foot and pulled her down. Ahsoka began to struggle to get free as he tried to drag her back torts him. But the struggle did not last long as Ahsoka soon get herself freed and in turn the two fighters stood on a platform of sorts.

They then began to circle around each other sizing each other up with a glare. Dar went for the first strike and Ahsoka responded by dodging with a jump over him. Once Ahsoka was behind him she jumped onto his back and began to get to a choke hold on him. She tried to cut off the air for him to hopefully get him to submit. But it wasn't long till Dar managed to throw her off him resulting in Ahsoka landing near the edge. Ahsoka saw this just as Dar roared and charged at her intending to end her life. Ahsoka in turn managed to flip him off her and thus off the ledge they were on. Ahsoka ended up hanging for her life while Dar roared in panic as he fell to the forest floor.

His scream though was silenced with a death sigh as he ended up skewered on a spike of wood. Ahsoka saw this yet felt no satisfaction from this even if it was in self-defense she knew she had to make tough calls if she wanted to survive this. Thus Ahsoka climbed back up to regroup with Kelifa.

(Kelifa)

Ahsoka managed to catch up to Kelifa as she was laying down on the ground to rest for a moment. Ahsoka then went on to help Kelifa back onto her feet putting one of her arms around her shoulders. "Careful." Ahsoka urged as she helped the Youngling back on her feet.

"It's ok." Kelifa began as she began to move. "I can make it." She said taking a few steps forward. Alas those steps would be the last she ever took as from afar a laser blast shot through her chest causing her to gasp in pain from the burning sensation that pierced her chest. "Kelifa!" Ahsoka cried out as she went to help Kelifa.

(Trandoshians)

The laser blast was fired from the rifle of Dar's father as he glared at his foes with intense hatred for them. "Those Jedi whelps killed my son." He growled as he glared at the Jedi. "Young Dar!" He roared in both rage and grief firing more shots at them from his rifle. As Ahsoka carried Kelifa to cover hoping Phonon can get here soon Dar's father grieved for his dead son. "There's no escape I will hunt you down!" Dar's father roared in fury swearing bloody vengeance against Ahsoka and the younglings. "Move us in closer!" He ordered as he looked to his subordinate before focusing on his rifle scope to avenge his dead child.

"We can't the brush is too thick." He responded knowing if they wanted to go after the Jedi they had to go on foot.

Just then an arrow flew by and hit the Trandoshian's rifle as their eyes found themselves laying upon Phonon who held his bow at the ready. He then ran into the brush as Dar's father roared in fury to this. "Give me that!" He roared taking the rifle off another of his allies and began to fire once more.

(Ahsoka and Kelifa)

"Kelifa we have to move hurry!" Ahsoka ordered knowing they had to move now or else they were doomed.

"Please Ahsoka leave me!" Kelifa said as she looked to Ahsoka struggling to get the words out knowing she was none the less doomed.

"I won't." Ahsoka said as just then Phonon arrived.

"We need to move now." Phonon said before he saw the scene before him. "No..." He gasped silently as he saw the state Kelifa was in.

"Can you help her?" Ahsoka asked as she looked to Phonon as he looked her over. In the situation they were in... Added their lack of resources, and where she was shot in Phonon turned away as he knew what this meant.

"I... I can't." Phonon stuttered as it was clear there was nothing he could do to save Kelifa.

"There got to be something you can do for her, anything," Ahsoka beg Phonon to help Kelifa as Phonon keep looking away in regret as he said to her in a sadden tone, "I'm sorry."

"A-Ahsoka, Phonon... please take...care..." Kelifa choke out but cannot say her words as Ahsoka finish for her, "We'll... take care of the others."

"I know you will," Kelifa said with a smile before she let out her last breath and fell limp... she was gone.

Ahsoka caught her before leaning, her up against the tree as she gave one last look to her, and Phonon... he just grip his bow tightly in his grip as his knuckles turn to a blue-ish white.

Dar's father keep shooting into the bush as he yell out, "I'll kill you all! You kill me son!"

Ahsoka stood up as she started to walk hesitating a bit to walk away before she went on, with Phonon stood there still and silent as Dar's father yell out, "I'll kill you! You can't hide from me!"

Without saying another words Phonon just walk away as well leaving behind Kelifa knowing her body will fade into the force... but doesn't come any easy for him to leave her behind as well, with Dar's father yelling out in anger.

(Andros)

With Andros still flying around systems to find Ahsoka and his friend Phonon, as suddenly he felt an ache in his heart as he held his hand over it and gasp a bit as BD-G2 look to him and beep out in concern as Zaruba said, "You felt something?"

"A life... gone," Andros said as somehow he knew something had happen as he look to the stars as he said, "faded into the force."

Everyone remain silent after that as Zaruba probably knew it was a Jedi had lost their life, but the question is... who?

Andros gotten his hand back on controls as he flip a few switches and said, "We need to find them faster."

(In space)

The gold storm engine lit up as it suddenly jump to hyperspace as Andros was more determined to find Ahsoka and Phonon now than ever and hope he isn't too late.

(Jedi Temple)

Within the war room as Anakin has been in contact with several groups to see if they have found Ahsoka yet, even more so waiting on Andros to call him back to tell him any news on his padawan, but nothing came yet as Anakin slump down, looking tired and worn out as Master Plo walk in on him as he saw the state Anakin was in and soon said to him, "What is Ahsoka's strength?"

"She is fearless," Anakin said as he knew how Ahsoka is as Master Plo soon walk around him as he said, "That can also be a weakness. Is she a worthy apprentice?"

"No one has her kind of determination," Anakin said with master Plo said to him, "Except for you."

Master Plo said to him meaning they are similar in so many ways with Anakin not giving up as he said, "I'll find her."

"This may not be within your power," Master Plo said as he wanted Anakin to accept the situation at hand and let it be for now, with Anakin shot to him as he said, "Whatever you're trying to say, Master Plo, just say it."

"I am suggesting that perhaps, if you have trained her well, she shall take care of herself, and find a way back... to you," Master Plo said to him to wait and see and hope for the best, as Anakin turn back to the table and keep at it.

(Ahsoka and Phonon)

The two were still running away from the Trandoshians hunters, as they leap from branches and logs of trees, as one Trandoshian was following a bit behind, as he tracking them through their scent, as they sniff the air and follow while giving a growl.

Phonon was trying to come up with a plan, as he can see how they can lose the hunters, as he looked around for that smelly moss to hide their sent, but it wasn't easy for him at this moment, having to use up most of his stone arrows, and as with his metal arrows he trying to save them for a very important reason.

Getting out of site for a moment, the Trandoshian looked and sniff around for his pray, until Ahsoka step on a stick that gave away their location as they were back to running again.

Phonon's eyes looked left to right, up and down for anything, until he found what he was looking for as he pointed out and said, "There, that moss on that tree will hide our scent, we got to it and stay around it."

"Will it work?" Ahsoka asked as Phonon look to her and said, "It will, now run fast."

The two ran as fast as they could and went out of site again as the Trandoshian hunter came around, but saw no site of the two, as it looked around, even gotten on top of a lob that was cover in moss and flowers as Ahsoka was hiding under it, Phonon above the ground within the trees, hidden behind the leaves and moss to hide his scent.

The hunter climb to the top of the log and look around before looking down below, with Ahsoka being a silent as she can be as they hear the sound of the Trandoshian smelling around and growling.

In the intense moment keep going as Phonon had his last 3 stone arrows he had on him, already used up Ahsoka's arrows already to help scare off many hunters and pin them to trees that would be difficult for them to get out of.

As the Trandoshian hunter keep trying to find their scent, Dar's father came forth and yell out, "Where are they?!"

It stood up as it gave its report to his leader and spoken in a high squeaky voice as he said, "They were faster than most. I've lost their scent."

Dar's father roar out in anger as he said to him, "They cannot hide forever. Mark my words… I'll have that young Jedi hide, nailed to the wall and cut off that archer's head and have it and his bow as my trophy, for ruining this hunt and killing my son!"

Ahsoka seem afraid of what Dar's father said but keep her cool as the hover pod turn around and lower for the hunter to jump into, as a slight wind blew behind the Trandoshian, catching a whiff of Ahsoka as Dar's father turn his head around quickly to see… nothing.

Giving out one last growl before turn back and flew off, as Ahsoka is seen on the side of the log, as she quickly move before she was seen, and waited for the Trandoshians to move out as she hear the engine fade into the distant, Phonon relax as he put away the remaining arrows as they both came out of hiding as Phonon said, "Lets join back up with the others. They may have return back to their shelter."

Ahsoka nodded as she agreed as they both headed off to meet up with the two boys and hope they were alright as well.

(Scene break)

The night has come, and the Trandoshians hunters… became the hunted, as a terrifying scream is heard in the night follow by silent, no other sound is heard, no sigh of life remain around.

(The forest ground)

Some Trandoshians are seen, not breathing and cover in their own blood, as they were drag away with their blood smearing the ground behind them.

The same figure from the other night drag them across the forest until it came to its den, then throw the bodies upon a small pile of already dead Trandoshians, with some of their body parts were gone, their arms or legs torn or bitten off, with one missing its head, but they were the only ones.

On the walls sign of other survivors were founded by this horror… and been feed upon with nothing remaining but their eyeless heads.

Bugs crawl all over the dead bodies as the figure stood over them as they spoken with a female voice as the horror said, "Not enough… it not enough."

The woman turn to outside of her den as she said, "Must kill all of them… must rip them apart… rip and tear them all until… I have my revenge."

She took off at great speeds without making a sound, a great predator is hunting upon the world, and no one was safe from it.

(Ahsoka and Phonon)

The Jedi padawan and young Makai knight soon return back to the hole in the tree, with the two birds being surprise by their return and flew up to let them through, as they leap into the tree with the birds look towards them as if they sense what had happen.

AS the two youngling waited for their friends to return, as the moss was pulled away, the two look and saw Ahsoka and Phonon walking through by themselves as Jinx was the first one to say, "You made it."

"We fear the worst," O-mer said he did sounded worry, as the two join the youngling with Jinx saw someone was missing as he said, "Where's Kelifa?"

Phonon was normally the brains and had all the strategies but that was in combat. When it comes down to social interactions especially one as sensitive as this he was at a loss. That was of course until Ahsoka opted to speak up instead. "She didn't make it." Ahsoka confessed as she looked to the two remaining younglings.

"She's dead?" Jinx asked as he heard this. "I... I can't believe it she had been here longer than any of us and now." Jinx began as O-mer had his hands to his head in shock

"We're all going to die here it's only a matter of time." O-mer said until Phonon spoke up.

"None of us are going to die here." Phonon said as he looked to the group.

"How can you be so sure?!" O-mer yelled as he glared at Phonon.

"Because she sacrificed herself for you for all of us. She would not have done so if she didn't believe there was hope for us!" Phonon argued back to which Jinx scowled and sat down.

"That kind of thought is suicide." Jinx said as Ahsoka had an idea.

"Or maybe it's not." Ahsoka said as she looked to everyone. "You all said every few days they release new prisoners on the beach right?" Ahsoka asked as she looked to the Younglings. "I say we attack that drop ship head on they'll never expect it." Ahsoka said as Phonon heard this and understood.

"Your method of running and hiding worked to help you survive and stay safe... but the time for hiding is over I think it's time we go from being the hunted to the hunters." Phonon said as he passed one of the spears over to O-mer. "And if we have to die trying... well in the words of an old friend of mine at least we all know we went down swinging." Phonon said as he looked to the group.

"Do you think it's worth a shot?" O-mer asked as he looked to Jinx as he was in but only if Jinx was.

"I guess it is." Jinx said as he was in and ready to turn the tides.

"Alright I'll go out and see if I can find anyone else we may need all the help we can get." Phonon said as he looked to the forest as he knew a Horror was out there. Even though it's corralled here he could not allow it to roam nor can it be allowed to find a way to escape off the island. He needed to defeat it before it has any sort of chance of escape.

"Ok we'll meet with you later." Ahsoka said as she knew Phonon was going to go hunting for a Horror. Now the question remained if he would be able to make it back alive.

Phonon nodded to her before he slid down the branch tree and made his way back into the jungle. HE had a Horror to hunt down and he would be damned if it managed to get away from him.

(Scene Break later with Phonon)

Phonon was running through the night looking for the Horror as he had been seeing signs of a Horror since his arrival. As he ran through the forest he made sure to keep his eyes peeled for anything as he refused to allow this Horror to escape him. As he ran he managed to climb up to the top of a tree and with the full moon night looked upon the land for any signs of the Horror in question. "Where are you?" He asked before he jumped down the tree and landed on one of the branches.

He then pulled out a dagger from his person and stabbed it into the tree before putting his ear to the pommel. From there he began to listen for any vibrations on the ground that would give him a lead to where the Horror was currently located. He waited, listen, and focus for anything to happen, as he soon pick up on something, footsteps… many footsteps rushing… no running as Phonon open his eyes as he knew what the horror is doing… hunting its pray.

(Elsewhere In the forest)

Three Trandoshians were running for their lives with the look on their faces, a sigh of fear as their weapons were gone, to clothing torn, and any other gear they may have is no more.

"How could this happen? It wasn't supposed to be like this!" a Trandoshians said as they keep running with the other one beside him said, "We should have never join up on this hunt!"

The 3rd one turn to see behind them and saw nothing running towards them as he said, "I don't see it. Think we lost it."

"We did?" the 2nd one said as they all slow down and stop as they hid behind cover and look back where they came from as they waited and listen, but saw nothing coming up.

Their hearts were still beating fast and breathing heavily as if they were waiting for the creature that is hunting them to come forth, unknown to them as a female figure stood near the of 3rd one of the group, as a snap of a twig is heard, and the one that was near the female figure turn around, to his horror to see what was before him before giving out a scream.

The other two turn towards the scream follow by a sickening crack and tearing of flesh sound before getting blood spray in their faces as their friend was just killed as his head went fly and landed before them.

They look and saw back of their dead friend's body being lifted into the air covering the horror figure as the sound of them drinking the blood from the dead Trandoshian before was drop down still headless as the look on the horror face had blood dripping off of it before it was lick up by her tongue that scratch out far, licking up all the blood clean on her face before looking towards the two as they backed away as first one said, "Wait… we can get you back onto the sship and get off this world. You can… drink everyone else'sss blood as much as you wish, if you let us live."

"Why would I do that?" the female horror said as she turn her head to the side with a cringing crack is heard which scared the two Trandoshians even more as the female horror walk close to them and said, "When you hunted me and everyone else that you bring here, slaughtering us like animals when we did nothing wrong?"

The Trandoshians didn't know what to say to the monster they help made as the horror said to them, "No I think I'll do to you that you did with us… skin you and place it on a wall with the others while eating your flesh and bones."

As the horror raise his hands as claws came forth and was about to pounce upon the two as they scream out until an arrow flew by the horror face, cutting her cheek as she yelp in pain, as they all turn to see who fire the arrow, as they saw Phonon standing on a tree branch with a full moon behind him as he said, "I suggest you run… now."

The two Trandoshians nodded as they ran for their lives as the horror looked towards him as she said, "Why let those kills go… they deserve to die!"

Phonon pull out his lighter as he lit it and look into the eyes of the female, and saw the markings of the horror before he close it and said, "They do deserve to face justice because of their action, but it will not be done by you, or by me."

Phonon drew another arrow and draw it back ready to fire as he said, "You have suffer greatly, but it time you were put to rest peacefully."

"I will not, I cannot be at peace as long as they all live," The horror said as without saying another word, Phonon release the arrow as it flew at the horror, as she dodge it quickly and soon ran at great speeds with Phonon soon chasing after her, as now the horror is not being hunted by Phonon.

As Phonon grab another arrow and fire it down the ling which graze the female horror in its legs as it leap off a tree that Phonon saw what the horror is doing well enough in the dark forest with the moon light shining down.

Black blood spray out as the horror drops down in pain as they held their leg a bit before Phonon was upon them as he had an arrow pointed down at them as he said, "I don't know what you did to survive, but it time for you to be put to rest now."

Before he fired the arrow, the horror through dirt in his face, misdirect his aim as he fired and missed as the horror took this chance. The Horror roared out and in turn transformed into a demonic speedster form roaring in fury. Once it was transformed it decided to use its best skill and make a run for it as organic vents on its body released some sort of thrust like steam to allow it to run. As it was running away Phonon wiped the dirt from his eyes before he look down the path as he saw the blood on the ground. Seeing he had a trail he took out a Madou tool and stabbed it into the blood allowing the blood to glow in the dark before he went after the horror before it could claim another victim regardless if they were guilty or innocent.

(Over with the Horror)

The Horror was running as fast as its feet can carry it as it tried to escape the Makai Knight on this island. She had no idea their kind would even be here to begin with. But now it had it finish what it started as soon as possible. It knew when the Trandoshians would drop off their new catches to be hunted thus she knew she only had one shot at its plan. But as she ran she had no idea the trail she left was now glowing and thus allowing the Makai Knight to track her.

In turn the Horror had no idea that its fate... was already sealed.

(Back with Phonon)

Phonon was looking down upon the forest as he saw the trail the Horror was leaving for him as he smirked a bit. The Horror was no doubt making a bee-line for the beach thus to where Ahsoka and the younglings were with the ship. Thus he knew he had very little time to act and thus sighed before grabbing his bow with both hands. He then spun his weapon like a bow staff on either side of him using the two blades attacked to either end of the bow. From there two energy circled were formed into portals that opened causing his armor to shoot out from the two circles. His armor was dark navy blue, he his thighs were clad in samurai archer like armor skirting with a red sash hanging from the front and back of his waist, his chest armor had a bronze diamond in the center his gauntlets where thick and rounded with silver ovals over his wrists, he had small rigid shoulder pauldrons and his helmet was like others Makai Knights it had the wolf theme with the snarling teeth, only his eyes were a dull red visor, and his right ear was larger than the left which gave a crescent moon impression. Phonon's bow also changed for now it was blockier with four blades inserted along it.

This was none other than the Sky Moon Bow Knight... Gai. Gai glared at where the Horror's trail lead took out an arrow with a gold serrated tip and thus pulled back his bow string causing the Arrow to start glowing a silver color. "Be gone... Horror!" Gai called out and thus he let the arrow loose on his foe.

(The Horror)

As The Horror ran away torts the beach it never saw the arrow coming until it was too late. The Horror was wide eyed as it felt its head get pierced by the Arrow in question and thus it rolled to the ground in a tumble. During its tumble its body turned to smoke and thus it vanished just before it had hit a tree leaving nothing to suggest it was there save for the disturbed ground.

(Gai)

Gai glared at his foe and decided to use the remaining time of his armor to get to Ahsoka and the Younglings before they ended up hurt or wore.

(During all of this at the beach)

The three youngling return back where they first came to the this place, with Ahsoka leading the two boys as they soon took cover as they heard the Trandoshians's ship coming in, as Ahsoka look at the two boys as she said, "Get ready. We'll have to be swift."

"The drop point's not far," O-mer said as they look and saw light peeking from the cloud of fog, as the Trandoshians's ship lower to drop off more "pray" to hunt, with Ahsoka calling out, "Now!"

They took off running while climbing up on the bone pillar to gain some height before leaping up towards the ship with the force, as Ahsoka soon landed on the window, as a Trandoshians in the ship saw her as one said, "What the...?"

"It's one of those blasted Jedi whelps," the other one said as Ahsoka started to climb up onto the ship as the 2nd Trandoshian pointed to her as he said, "Get her!"

The first one took his blaster rifle as he went to the hatch that lead to the top of the ship and meet with Ahsoka as she stood ready to fight unknown to the Trandoshian she was just the decoy as the other two younglings ran towards the Trandoshian, with their feet were loud enough to hear as the lizard being turn around to get a kick in the face by Jinx with o-mer leap over him to pin the Trandoshians, with Jinx soon joining him as well with Ahsoka ran to the hatch and said before jumping down into the ship, "I'll take the pilot!"

Once Ahsoka was inside Jinx and O-mer got to work as O-mer covered the Trandoshian's mouth just as it tried calling for help. But just then he managed to bash Jinx off him before grabbing O'mer by the foot and tossing him away to another part of the ship. He then glared at Jinx and roared in fury ready to kill the Youngling until Jinx saw O-mer on the move. From there O-Mer jumped and thus Jinx used the force to pull him in and allowed O-mer to hit the Trandoshian hard. Jinx then jumped in for the attack but his foe managed to kick him away before he could get a blow in.

O-Mer followed up by trying to attack the lizard like alien but he caught O'mer by the neck and pinned him to the hull of the ship. Jinx in turn responded by jumping onto the hunter's back and trying to get him off his friend who was struggling to breathe. O-Mer then grabbed his hunting dagger and stabbed his foe in the arm causing him to cry out and let go. From there Jinx jumped off and spun a hurdle at the Trandoshian knocking it down. The two younglings then went for the counter attack as the Trandoshian was clearly having trouble now with the stab wound on his person.

(Down with Ahsoka)

Ahsoka was carefully sneaking through the ship as she got to the cockpit. There she saw her target sitting at the controls to keep the ship under control. Just then as Ahsoka approached the Trandoshian turned around with a rifle and fired it at Ahsoka. Ahsoka of course dodged and avoided the attacks with ease as she jumped around the cockpit doing so. Ahsoka was soon able to disrupt her foes aim and used his laser shotgun to pin him to the controls with the weapon across his neck. The struggle ended up damaging the controls and thus the wheel turned causing the ship to follow suit.

(Jinx and O-Mer)

The two were facing there foe when the ship had started to turn to the side and thus the three lost their balance. But it seems all three managed to grab a hold of something as the Trandoshian was at the bottom. He began to climb up and reach out to O-Mer to grab and kill him as O-mer saw this. The ship kept turning as it was clear to be on a crash course now while struggling to stay in flight at this point.

(Ahsoka)

As Ahsoka tried to keep her foe pinned it became a struggle as Ahsoka was then grabbed and tossed to the side by her foe. From there he began to fire upon her again but Ahsoka who was back on her feet was too fast for him to get a shot in. From there Ahsoka force pushed him through the window and possibly knocked him out or killed him. In turn the controls began to spark as the ship went out of control getting ready to crash into the beach.

(O-Mer and Jinx)

As the ship spin out it began to fall apart as the back end of the ship fell off suggesting it was possibly one of the main engines. As the ship fell the Trandoshian managed to get a grip on O-mer's foot and held on tight. Jinx seeing this went into action as he began to kick the Trandoshian in the face once he was close enough to do so. It took only a few kicks before the Trandoshian lost its grip and began to fall to the ground below. From there Jinx went to get Ahsoka as there was no saving the ship at this point.

(Back with Ahsoka)

Ahsoka tried to regain control of the ship as alarms went off and sparks flew around her. She quickly realized there was no saving the ship but what she can do is save the prisoners. It seems fate was on her side as Jinx landed on the window and looked to Ahsoka. "Get out of there come on!" He called out as Ahsoka saw him.

"But the prisoners, they'll die!" Ahsoka called out as Jinx understood.

"Hit the release hurry!" He called out as Ahsoka moved as fast as she could to free the prisoners. She then found the button and saw on a screen the doors open to release the prisoners. She then climbed out of the window taking Jinx hand. Once they were outside the trio jumped out and onto the beach as they saw the ship spin out of control before crashing into the ocean and the beach. Once it crashed everyone looked to the damage as they were surprised with how that had gone down for them all.

"Well I guess we won't be escaping on that ship." O-mer said as he saw the damage done to the ship making it scrap metal.

"We'll find another way." Ahsoka said as she had some hope that they will.

Just then from the bushes the group heard rustling until they saw Phonon come out looking at the crash site in shock. "Let me guess things went south." Phonon said to which Ahsoka nodded to him.

"Big time." Ahsoka said to which Phonon rubbed his eyes in frustration.

"Always something going wrong." Phonon sighed wondering why his luck was bad.

"Like I said." Ahsoka began but Phonon stopped her.

"I know but next time we'll be ready what we did was a blitz we need to be strategic about it." Phonon said to which they needed a better strategy after all.

Just then they heard a sound coming from the ship akin to a roar as Phonon heard this and looked to this. "What was that?" Jinx asked as the roar was heard with movement and sparks.

"A survivor." Ahsoka said as she then ran over to check it out as they all looked to it. "It could be one of the prisoners they were dropping off." Ahsoka added as she looked to the sparks.

"Sounded like a Wookie." Phonon said as he ran in with the other younglings.

In turn the group of four saw something tall and furry standing up as it began to make its way torts them. Phonon smiled as he looked hoping that it was what he thought it was as O-Mer saw this. "What is that?" The Jedi Youngling asked as he saw the shadow approaching them.

"It's a Wookie." Both Ahsoka and Phonon said as Phonon was very familiar with Wookie's. After all the master Logos, Andros, and Jinga all shared had trained under Wookie's and was a close friend to them.

"I believe the tides are turning in our favor." Phonon said as the Wookie then roared almost in agreement as it was clear a Wookie would be a great help to the group now. Soon the group would change the tides and thus they would get off this rock once they have a proper plan.

(TBC)
