Soumercan jungle. Crash site 8:15 AM.
In the early morning, RB was being cornered by four Dark Egg Legionaries who had found the poor droid at the crash site. The Legionaries were currently pointing their blasters at RB, while the droid took the self initiative in defending himself.
"Allright Legionaries!" The commanding legionnaire, a dark grey Wolf with cybernetics called. "Let's haul this robot back to headquarters!"
RB beeped in an offended manner, after being called a robot. Two legionaries tried to grab the droid, but RB zapped them. The Legionaries growled in pain at being zapped.
"RAARGHHH! STUPID ROBOT!" A legionnaire, Growled in pain. "I'M GONNA DISMANTLE THAT TRASHCAN!"
"NOT BEFORE ME YOU'RE NOT!" Another legionnaire, a Cheetah hissed as he pushed the first legionnaire away.
Meanwhile not far away.
"I wonder if he's an alien." A pink Wolf in green leotard named Leeta wondered aloud.
"Well Leeta, well probably know when we get back." Another pink Wolf in blue leotard named Lyco said with assurance.
Leeta sighted before responding. "I know, but I'm still curious..."
"RAARGHHH! STUPID ROBOT!" A faint voice growled. The twins looked at each other in surprise.
"Did you hear that Leeta?" Lyco asked.
"Yeah i did." Leeta responded. "It sounded like it came from the crash site."
Lyco tightened her grip on her sabre, before she left and motioned Leeta to follow her. When they were a few feet away from the clearing, they could see a group of Dark Egg Legionaries surround a red, white and black robot with a cylinder formed body and dome formed head.
"It's a robot." Leeta whispered.
"I know." Lyco whispered back. "It's probably not one of Eggman's robots.
"It looks to cute to be one of his." Leeta whispered with a squeal.
"Be serious, Leeta." Lyco hissed. "We need to take care of those legionaries, that robot may belong to the Overlander."
"Allow me." Leeta smirked as she prepared herself for a howl.
"Go for it sis." Lyco smirked. "Let them hear the cry of the Wolves."
Back with the legionnaires.
AWOOOOOOOO!
The Legionaries and RB looked surprised, when they heard the Wolf howl. They nervously looked around for the source of the howl, while RB slowly rolled backwards. One of the legionnaires turned to the leader.
"Was that the Wolf Pack Freedom Fighters sir?" The legionnaire asked, shivering.
The commander growled and grabbed hold of the terrified legionnaire and snarled "Stop being such a coward! It's probably nothing, now get this stupid robot back to the base before i..."
POW!
SMACK!
BAM!
GUAM!
The commander was interrupted, when he and the other three legionnaires had been knocked out by two pink Wolves who came from behind some bushes. The one in green wiped some sweat off her forehead.
"Whew, they have improved their fighting skills." Leeta smirked.
"Don't get to cocky, Leeta!" the one in blue named Lyco lectured. "There may be more heading this way!"
"Right, right!" Leeta said. "Sorry."
"That's okay!" Lyco assured, before she turned her attention to a frightened RB-1N. Both Lyco and Leeta approached RB.
"Are you okay, little robot?" Leeta asked, as she knelt down in front of the machine.
RB replied in an offended manner after being called a robot, but thanked them for the save.
"You're welcome!" Leeta smiled, while Lyco looked dumbfounded.
"You understand that thing!?" Lyco asked.
"No, but i had to guess." Leeta responded embarrassed.
RB started to beep again, before rolling over to the ships cockpit. Lyco and Leeta looked at RB.
"So you do belong to the stranger." Lyco confirmed. RB beeped in excitement, before he got out his satellite-dish and started to scan the whole area. When RB was done scanning, he beeped something before he start rolling in the direction of the Wolf Pack Nation. (Not that he knew where he was heading.)
Lyco and Leeta looked at the disappearing robot, before he was out if sight. Leeta broke the silence.
"What do we do with these legionnaires?" Leeta asked. "Do we tie them up?"
"Yes but, we'll have to hurry." Lyco reminded her sister. "We also have to find out who that robot belongs to."
Lyco and Leeta then began to tie the legionaries to a nearby tree. When they were done, the twins decided to follow the robot. that is if they could find it.
Wolf Pack Nation. Diablo's house 8:28 AM.
While meditating, voices began to ring in Sean's head.
"Take what you have learned, but make it your own." Yoda's voice echoed.
"Sean, are you okay? Anakin's voice asked.
"C'mon Sean! Let's go get Master Skywalker!" Ahsoka's voice called.
"Remember Sean, a Jedi's strength flows through the force." Obi Wan's voice adviced.
Tears began to run from Sean's eyes.
"I will always be proud to be your master, Padawan Sean!" Plo Koon's voice said with pride.
Just after Sean heard his master's voice, he collapsed onto the madras and breathed hard. When Sean sat up and collected himself, he heard a door open and the Wolf from earlier this morning and entered the living room.
"I see you got dressed kid." Diablo said, when he saw the teen in his clothes.
"Yeah." Sean sighted. deciding to drop the self pity, Sean turned to the older Wolf.
"You're a Wolf, aren't you?" Sean asked.
"Took you that long to see, didn't it?" Diablo remarked.
"Figured it out, when you woke up." Sean answered. "I just wanted to be sure. By the way, i never got you name Mr..."
"Just call me Diablo." The Wolf answered, before he spoke again. "But to the reason I'm here, Lupe want's to see you now."
"Who?" Sean asked as he followed Diablo out of the door.
"Lupe, the Grand Chief of the Wolf Pack Nation and she is the reason you're here." Diablo explained.
"She brought me here, why?" Sean asked with interest.
"That you must ask her about." Diablo replied.
With that said, both Diablo and Sean set their course for the Grand Chief's home, where Sean will get his answers.
Market place 8:30.
Diablo and Sean walked through the marketplace in order to get to their destination. While they were walking, Sean noticed some of the other Wolves at the marketplace were glaring at him.
"Diablo?" Sean asked the Wolf. Diablo turned his head towards him as Sean continued. "Why are so many glaring at me? Did i do something wrong?"
Diablo's eyes widened at his question. How could this Overlander not have heard about the Great War that had so many devastating consequences for all of Mobius. Diablo decided not to answer this question and leave it to Lupe.
"You have to understand, that many here are not fond of strangers." Diablo told the teen.
Sean only nodded in response as he closed his eyes and with the force, concentrated on the many conversations currently happening at the marketplace.
"So i heard you got yourself a new spear Canus."
"You're going to be a wonderful mother, dear."
"What's an Overlander doing here?"
"We already got two here, and that's still to many."
"FILTHY OVERLANDER!"
Sean's eyes immediately opened as he reached out his hand and caught something that flew right towards him. Sean turned and saw Diablo and some other Wolves staring at him with shocking expressions. The young Jedi looked at what he caught, what looked like a red, juicy and round fruit of some sort. Diablo snapped out of the shock, before he turned to glare at the other Wolves.
"Alright, who threw that?" Diablo demanded as a tall light blue Wolf pointed towards a dark grey Wolf with another tomato in his hand. The Wolf in question quickly hid the tomato away and smiled sheepishly at Diablo.
Diablo growled at the young Wolf's disciplinary issues. "Alright young man, you get yourself over here right now or I'll..."
"I'll take it from here, Diablo!" A voice called. Diablo and Sean turned their heads and saw Lobo approach the dark grey Wolf.
"Alright kid, what's your excuse for throwing that tomato at our guest?" Lobo questioned the teenage Wolf.
The Wolf answered really nervously at Lobo's question. "I...I...I didn't think he would..."
"He would what?" Lobo asked snidely. "Catch it?"
"N...No..." The teen Wolf gulped, but Lobo cut him off.
"If i ever catch you doing something like this again, I'll have your fur for a new curtain, Understand?" Lobo growled.
"Y...Yes sir." The Wolf obeyed in defeat.
"Good, now beat it!" Lobo told the Wolf. The Wolf didn't waste a second and ran off to another part of town. Lobo approached Sean.
"I apologize for this misunderstanding." Lobo said, but Sean waved it off.
"You don't have to apologize my friend." Sean assured. "I'm used to getting shot at everyday."
Lobo raised an eyebrow. "Really? Well i should probably take you to my wife."
"Your wife?" Sean asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, the Grand Chief of the Wolf Pack Nation." Lobo nodded.
"Then should we get going?" Sean suggested. "We shouldn't keep your Chief waiting."
Lobo nodded as he, Diablo and Sean left for the Grand Chief's home.
"What's an Overlander?" Sean thought to himself.
Lobo and Lupe's home. Main hallway 8:34 AM.
"We're here." Lobo said as he gestured Sean inside.
"Thank you." Sean responded politely. Diablo looked at Sean suspiciously.
"How did he catch that tomato without even looking." Diablo thought.
Lobo turned to Sean, before he spoke. "Lupe should be ready for you in a minute, so you'll have to wait here until she wants to see you understand?"
Sean bowed his head in confirmation as Lobo smiled. "Good." He then turned to Diablo. "C'mon Diablo, I'm gonna need your help with something back in town."
Diablo nodded as he and Lobo left the house to attend to some other matters in town. When they were gone, Sean decided to have a little look around in the main hallway. He then stumpled upon a carpet, hanging on the wall. Sean carefully studied the features on the carpet, before a feminine voice interrupted him.
"I see you have taken interest in my Grand-mother's carpet." The voice said. Startled, Sean turned and saw a female Wolf look at him with no expression on her face.
"You must be Grand Chief Lupe." Sean greeted.
"Yes, very observant Overlander." Lupe said in a flat tone.
"What's an Overlander? Sean asked confused. "Someone at the marketplace called me that."
Lupe looked surprised at the teen's answer, but decided to ask him later.
"We should take this conversation to my council Chambers. Come!" Lupe stated, while Sean nodded in agreement. "By the way... I never got your name."
"It's Sean, Sean Dontor. "By the way... Thank you for saving me."
"You're welcome." Lupe nodded in understanding as she and Sean went to the council Chambers to continue their conversation.
Inside the Grand Chiefs chamber 8:35 AM.
Once Lupe and Sean got into the meeting chambers, Lupe sat down with crossed legs in front of the circular fire pit.
"Take a seat." Lupe told Sean, as she gestured to a spot opposite the fire pit. Sean nodded and sat down with crossed legs to the opposite side of Lupe. The Jedi and Wolf Chief were eyeing each other, like it was a game of poker. Lupe broke the silence.
"I must ask if your sleeping conditions weren't too uncomfortable?" Lupe asked.
"I assure you Grand Chief, you have done what many would never do." Sean responded.
"Probably because, you're an Overlander." Lupe stated.
"Again, the Overlander thing." Sean said. "What are these Overlanders you all talk about?"
Lupe again looked surprised at the teen's question, but decided to answer. "You should by know what your own kind is called."
"But I'm a Human, not an Overlander." Sean clarified, while Lupe raised a skeptical eyebrow. Sean then asked "And what did these Overlanders do, that caused you to hate them so much?"
Lupe had a surprised look on her face. "Well to start, the Overlanders hate us Mobians and they did start the Great War against us." Lupe explained.
"The Great War?" Sean asked. "When did this Great War take place?"
"You don't even know about the Great War!?" Lupe asked flabbergasted.
"Look Chief." Sean said with a low tone. "How can i know about a Planet, that i have never even heard of or been to?"
"So You're not even from Mobius?" Lupe asked in disbelief.
"No... No I'm not from here." Sean answered with a calm tone, before he realized. "I must have crashed onto a system somewhere in wild space in the unknown regions"
"Well... That explains the aircraft we pulled you out from." Lupe realized.
"The Starfighter!?" Sean asked in a surprised tone. "How does that explain anything?"
"Your Starfighter looked to advanced to even be from Mobius." Lupe explained.
"Well it's not from here so..." Sean clarified, but he then remembered his droid friend was nowhere in sight. "When you were at the ship, did you find a droid there?"
Lupe raised an eyebrow. "A droid? There was no droid, there was just you."
"What!?" Sean asked shockingly. "He was with me on my ship!"
"I can assure you that i have two of my best warriors on this." Lupe assured. "I sent them back to investigate your ship earlier this morning."
"Let's just pray to the force that they find him." Sean prayed.
Lupe looked confused when she asked. "What's the force?"
Sean looked at Lupe with raised eyebrows, but allowed himself to smile. "I'll explain to the best of my abilities. The force is an energy field, created by all living things, it surrounds us, it penetrates us and it binds the galaxy together"
"And what can you do with this energy field?" Lupe asked with slight interest.
"Force sensitives, like me are called Jedi Knights and they can use the force to many abilities like levitating objects, foreseeing the future and even manipulate the forces of nature." Sean explained.
At this moment, Lobo entered the chamber with a bowl of fruit and looked at his wife.
"Has he told you anything?" Lobo asked.
"Yes he has." Lupe told her husband. "His name is Sean Dontor."
Lobo nodded and went over to his wife with the fruit bowl. Lupe looked up at her husband and took an orange from the tray and started to peel it. Lobo was about to approach Sean with the bowl, when Sean reached out with the palm of his hand and used the force to levitate an orange from the bowl and into his hand. Lobo and Lupe looked absolutely shocked over what they just saw. Lobo immediately shielded his wife protectively and snarled at Sean, while the Jedi remained calm.
"Just what is this voodoo stuff!?" Lobo demanded.
"It is not voodoo, it's the force." Sean told the angry Wolf, as he took a bite of his orange.
Lupe grabbed Lobo by his shoulder and told him. "Calm down Lobo, i am sure his powers can't be used for evil." She then looked towards Sean who looked towards the fire pit. "Right?"
Sean sighted in sadness as he looked up towards Lupe. "You both have to understand that, when powers like the force can be used for good, there are ways to use it for evil."
"Like how?" Lobo asked with skepticism.
"With fear, anger, hate and suffering." Sean explained. "Those who uses the dark side are called Sith Lords
Lupe decided to change the subject. "You said you are what you called a Jedi Knight." Lupe started. "What is a Jedi?"
"A Jedi are force wielders who study the force and utilize it to protect those who can't defend themselves." Sean explained. "The Jedi respected all life across the galaxy, whether it's a criminal or a murderer."
"And as a knight, i must assume you have a weapon of some sort?" Lupe questioned suspiciously.
"I do!" Sean confirmed. "I... Just don't have my lightsaber with me."
"Lightsaber?" Lobo asked confused.
"A lightsaber is a Jedi's first choice weapon, an elegant tool for a more civilized warrior." Sean explained.
"Does he think we're not civilized?" Lobo asked himself insulted.
"So where is your lightsaber?" Lupe asked.
"I gave it to my droid for safe keeping." Sean responded. "Which is why i need to find him."
"Your droid will be found, but first... I want to know your story." Lupe told the Jedi.
"My story?" Sean asked dumbfounded.
"Please tell us how you ended up crashing down on our planet." Lupe elaborated.
Sean sighted in sadness, he knew this question would come sooner or later. He might as well explain it all to them, if they were to help him. "I'll start from the beginning, but listen closely cause I'm only gonna explain this once, understand?"
Both Wolves nodded in agreement, before Sean continued. "Good... In the end... The end of the Clone Wars, my master Plo Koon and i led a squadron of Clone pilots in an attack against the Separatist Alliance on the planet of Cato Neimoidia..."
"Clone pilots?" Lobo interrupted.
"Also known as Clone troopers. They once made the infantry units of the Grand army of the Republic." Sean explained in sadness, which Lupe caught on.
"I hear distress in your voice Sean." Lupe said with concern. "Is there something wrong with this subject?"
"I'm getting there." Sean stated as he closed his eyes and continued. "After the mission... These Clone pilots, out of nowhere suddenly turned and betrayed us!" He said with a low voice. "Master Plo and i fought alongside them for three years and they shot him down in a second!"
Both Lobo and Lupe looked shocked and flabbergasted at Sean's revelation as he continued. "But before they could come for me, i shot them down in a matter of seconds. I knew there was no hope he survived, so RB and i fled the system as soon as possible."
"What did you do after that?" Lupe asked still in shock.
"I was told to return to the Jedi Temple, but the message was rewritten where i was told to stay away. For two and a half months, RB and i were on the run in the Outer Rim, where in the mean time, i learned that the Clones betrayal did not only happen to me, but to all Jedi's across the galaxy and The Republic had just been reformed to the Empire." Sean sighted.
"So... when do you get to the crash?" Lobo asked.
"LOBO!" Lupe hissed as she looked towards Sean with a empathetic look. "Please continue Sean."
Sean nodded and sighted as he continued. "A few days before the crash, RB and i ran into an old friend of mine who was more than willing to give me the Starfighter you found yesterday. My old ship was broken so it was fine with me. He said his business had gone under, so i could have his modified Starfighter. I bid him farewell and took off to regions unknown. Just yesterday beyond the Outer Rim, two Tie Fighters pursued me when they figured out i was a Jedi. Of course the first Tie Fighter was easy to take down, but the other was persistent. RB discovered an asteroid field and i formed a plan to lose the Tie Fighter in there. Later there was a huge asteroid right ahead of me, so i lured him into a trap. I headed right for the asteroid in hopes he would follow. At the right time, i pulled the ship up and the Tie crashed right into it. RB and i then navigated safely out of the asteroid field, before RB found a black hole right in front of us. And to make matters worse, an Imperial Star Destroyer suddenly came out of hyperspace and started to shoot at us. I had the choice between the black hole or getting destroyed. I chose the black hole. The Empire must think I'm dead, cause there were no Star Destroyers orbiting the planet. Not long after, me along with RB came out of the black hole and crashed onto your planet. And that's how i ended up here."
There was a stunned silence after Sean concluded his story. Lupe had so many questions, like why would a group his own soldiers suddenly turn against him without reason. And not only him, but his own master and all other Jedi's and maybe even... Lupe decided to ask him.
"Did the children survive the betrayal?" Lupe asked.
Sean shook his head in response, which was enough answer for Lupe who gasped in shock while Lobo also surprised, placed his hands on his wife's shoulders to comfort her.
"Why would they do such a thing?" Lupe asked in shock.
"They believed that we planned to overthrow the Chancellor and the Senate in order to gain power, so they accused us for treason and conspiracy against the Republic and had us hunted down one by one." Sean explained.
"And where did you learn all of that?" Lobo asked.
"One doesn't survive like i have by being foolish or unprepared." Sean said.
Lupe took a minute to regain her composure, before she spoke. "I cannot imagine the pain you had to go through Sean."
"It must be hard for someone of your age to go all of this, isn't it?" Lobo asked.
"It's sometimes hard to comprehend." Sean explained.
"And you and your droid can stay here in the Wolf Pack Nation for as long as you need until you get yourself on the right track."
"Thank you Grand Chief." Sean thanked in appreciation. "You have shown me a kind gesture."
Lupe smiled. "You can just call me Lupe."
"How can i ever repay your kindness?" Sean asked.
"Now, nothing." Lupe explained. "But for now i want you to get yourself properly settled in. I'll have my husband help you move your stuff into our guest room. Meeting adjourned!"
And with that said, Sean, Lupe and Lobo got up and headed into the main hallway of the Grand Chiefs home.
