Mission to a hidden Jedi library
Part 4
All that a Jedi can do
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hello Xan"
"It's been a long time old friend"
"Yes and time has not been kind to you" the man grinded his teeth and motioned behind him
"Bring them"
Suddenly two guards brought too struggling children
"Ani, Hana! What are you doing with them?"
"Holding them hostage, them for the Village"
"You can't do that"
"Oh yes I can" he walked forward and faced jade "You should have joined me, it would make this a little easier, my poor brother couldn't refuse both of us"
"Because I do not follow people who try and destroy their people"
"Is that what you think I am doing? Trying to destroy my people? Please Jade you have to know me better then that"
"Xan, you can't force your people to follow something they don't want to do, talk with them please"
Slowly Teml went for his sword at his side without Xan or the others knowing
"Maybe I can make you settle this my way" he grabbed Anakin by the braid and brought a blade to his throat "I will kill the boy" Ob-wan looked at Jade who looked at Telm. He made a face like 'Are you ready?' he acknowledged to his arm and she saw his blade in his arm. In one movement he threw he the blade and pulled Obi-wan back. She held the blade in front of her.
"Fight someone your own size Xan" he pushed Anakin into the arms of one of his men and pointed the blade at Jade.
"So be it Jedi" everyone backed off as the Jedi and the leader faced off.
It was like a sparring contest like that had at the temple, Anakin though
Xan directed the blade at Jades head and ran at her. Jade blocked it and pushed him away.
"You never liked to attack did you?" he teased creeping back over
"A Jedi never attacks they defend themselves"
"Ha!" he chuckled "Whom are you trying to kid?"
She ran for him and swung at his head but he got out of way and swung at her arm and barely missed it. It scraped across jade right arm send her back a bit but never stopping her concentration
"You barely hit me Xan I though you were better then that" Xan smirked at her
"I was trying to make it a fair fight, but no more"
The fight then sped up Anakin grasp in wonder and fear their moves were almost a dance as the strikes were hit but swift smooth counter strikes but he worried for Jade someone was going to die or be pretty badly beat. He had seen it before when he was a slave his stomach tightened. He looked at his master as the fight continued his masters' face was filled with worry. Both combatants were injuring each other; the blades weren't the only things that were the weapons. Just as Anakin looked back Xan wiped Jade out kicking her legs from out beneath her. She spun around and kicked him in the midsection sending him on his back as she rose again. He got back up and ran after her blade rose over his head she ran toward him and tackled him but the blade that was clutched in his hand slid in Jade side and back before she had him down. There was a hum of pain as the two hit the ground. Jade sat up and punched Xan in the face before rolling off, Obi-wan and Anakin were being held back by Xan men. They were so ready to jump in there and help but they knew it wouldn't be all that possible. They both got up Jade weakly looked at Obi-wan and Anakin. Suddenly Xan came behind her and punched her and throw her into the trunk of a near by tree. She slumped against it grunting obi-wan pushed against the men.
"Don't move Jedi you are still in my men's clutches you have no weapons and you are too tired and hurt to try anything" he said to the frustrated Obi-wan. He looked over at Jade who looked almost unconscious under the tree. She no longer held the sword in her hand it lay far from her.
"It's a pity Jade that your skill as Jedi had not given you more of an advantage"
"It should have" she chuckled
"How can you laugh" he brought the blade to her throat " I could kill you right now"
"I know you could" suddenly he rose into the air then was flung into a tree and held there. He clutch at his throat as if an invisible hand was holding it. He grasped for breath and reached out towards his men to do something.
"Let him go Jade" a light voice like the wind whispered through the forest. Just then Xan dropped choking and stumbling on the ground as the leader walked through the village courtyard.
"This must stop" he walked into the middle of the circle "We must not fight each other we must work together to stay together not fight among ourselves" Xan stood up and looked at the leader
"There is no way Atar that I will give into what you want" he turned toward his men
"Come my men we leave for now we will be back" The Renaze let go of the prisoners and walked back from once they came. As soon as they were gone Telm and Obi-wan ran over to Jade who was dazing lazily against the tree. They helped her up and balanced her.
"I am sorry my lord for what I did"
"Do not worry young one, thank you"
"For what?"
"For being here," the leader said then walked back to the others.
The Enyalians grouped in the center of town many were injured. The wounded were cared for; Obis arm was bandaged, Telm leg would heal in time and Jade wounds were tended. There were few dead of the Enyalians but for the Renaze there were many. The mission was over for the three Jedi they had got what they had come for. But the conflict between the enemies would remain until later, the council told them to return now and that they were not there for that. They stayed for a few more days helping with the town in whichever way they could. They also enjoyed the hospitality of the people and made many friends. Anakin seemed to make friends with all the children in the village never really having to stand around with Jade and Obi. The Leader told Obi-wan and Anakin that they could come back whenever they wanted and that they would try and teach them some the native tongue, if Jade hadn't already. On there last day Telm, the leader, Falcon and Anakins new friend Hana walked them to their ship.
As the three Jedi stood in front of the ship the leader walked up.
"I give you gifts from out people, not just as gift for friends but when you return and if a new Enyalie does not know your face they will know for the gift you carry."
To Anakin, they gave him a glassy stone from there sacred streams, to Obi-wan they gave him a craved bow with his name in Enyalian and an inscription on the inside, to Jade they gave her a necklace made of stones and jewels of there land.
"Thank you my friends, I promise that one day we will return." Jade said as she waved
"Yes and May the force be with you." Obi-wan without flaw, Jade looked at him then the crowd
"At least I taught him something useful." Falcon said in Basic
"Yes well, when we return he'll be able to even out speak you Falcon."
"I don't doubt it."
"Goodbye Hana, I will return but don't forget to write." Jade looked in shock at Anakin
"Good bye Ani I will try and keep my promise if you will remember yours, goodbye Jade I will miss you, and Master Kenobi it was pleasure to meet you." Obi nodded
"Please come back and see us again soon Jedi." the leader said
"We will try, we will see what our council will say." Obi said with a smirk
Telm came up and knelt in front of Anakin and handed him a data pad
"Here is your study material share it with your master, my COM number is in there if you have any problem send me a message." Anakin moved forward and hugged Telm. Anakin had really changed Telm view on children. Telm gave Anakin a hug back " Take care of everyone, Ani." Telm stood up and messed with Anakins hair.
"Namarie." the three Jedi said together.
"Namarie." the others said in unison. The three got on the ship and lifted off into space.
" That was the best mission so far master can we come back." Anakin asked his master
"Someday Ani someday."
