The Jedi Masters and MiraCyn sped toward the signal. In the distance they could see figures across a field. A hovering booth floated near by, when they noticed a man sprint out. The person ran from the hutch and hastily made his way into the building beyond. The other figures stood bewildered by the retreat of their captor and gathered together to await the landspeeder's arrival. As the Jedi approached, Xichu recognized her students. She instantly jumped from the vehicle to wrap her arms around the children.
"Master Xichu!" Tesahn, Pet-trie and Tinarah shouted.
"Master!!" Twik exclaimed. After bringing the speeder to a halt, LaMinott rushed to hold his Padawan.
Qui-Gon reviewed the scene with a happy remorse, for his Padawan was not among the rescued. His heart sank at the thought that his apprentice was still held captive. Xichu turned tear-filled eyes toward him mixed with emotion. That is when he felt a small hand slip into his own. He glanced down to find MiraCyn with the same melancholy smile he imagined shown on his own face. "Mys is still inside." Her voice flat.
"We will save them." Qui-Gon was surprised to hear his own voice respond to the girl. Coming back to the situation at hand he addressed the other Masters. "Take the children back to the city. We will work to free MysAri and Obi-Wan." LaMinott moved to usher the initiates toward the speeder while Xichu lingered. "You should go with them, Xichu." He knew it would be useless to urge MiraCyn to leave, besides he had the feeling that she would be instrumental in finding the remaining students.
Xichu shook her head. "I'm not leaving until I know all of my students are safe. And until I know that you and I will be inseparable. Where do we begin?"
"The door would probably be a good bet." Qui-Gon turned back to the compound with new determination. LaMinott came up to them before departing.
"I'll be back as soon as they are settled." The Dresselian placed a hand on the tall Knight's shoulder. Then quickly turned to take off across the landscape back tot he city. Once the vehicle was out of view, MiraCyn grabbed at her wrist. Instantly, she called to her sister.
{Mys, What's happening?} In the same moment, she could hear MysAri's mind reach for her. {Mira, What's happening?}
{The others have been rescued. They are heading back to town right now.} She fought against the building pain. {What's going on?}
{The bracelets. If they get - to far away - then they activate.} Mys confided in her sister the reason for the discomfort. Mira realized that she was only feeling a faint echo of that which her sister was experiencing and immediately spoke to the waiting Masters.
"Call them back! The pain." She gasped out. The two were watching her silent conversation with growing interest. At that moment Qui-Gon's commlink sounded and he activated it.
LaMinott hurriedly spoke, "The children. Something's wrong."
"The bracelets! We need to get them off." Mira interrupted. "Bring them back." Mys broke into her thoughts. {No! Get them to safety. We will deal with this. Just hurry.} Mira hiccuped a sob back before agreeing with the command. "Keep going. Just get those bracelets off as soon as you can."
**
They could feel the intensity gradually rising but could only guess at the cause. When they spoke briefly, MysAri learned the reason. As much as it pained her and despite the thought of causing further agony to the ailing boy next to her, she knew what must be done. She gently spoke to Obi-Wan with tears swelling in her eyes. "I'm so sorry for this, Tschüxani. I know you'll understand. I'll help you as best I can." His eyes had closed half way when the adrenaline faded from his system and he began to succumb to the pain. They fluttered widely when the unexpected assault came and now she could see the haze in the beautiful sea-green orbs. She concentrated on the light touch of the Force to ease his suffering. {No! Get them to safety. We will deal with this. Just hurry.} Pulling the pain to her she had trouble dealing with the combined torment until she felt MiraCyn reaching in to help.
**
"Well, we can not do anything until those cuffs are taken care off." Qui- Gon surmised as he wrapped his arms around the girl battling the anguish shared by siblings. And offered his own strength to handle the multitude of agony of both heart and body. And the Jedi waited for the afflictions to dissipate. "LaMinott, tell us the minute you get those armlets deactivated!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------
Now on a personal note, I'm taking a break for a little while. Things are not too great at the moment. But I will be back to finish the stories I started. Then we'll see what happens after that. Thanks for all the support and kind reviews. I really appreciate them.
