CHAPTER 3
Roar for Worrworr
The foursome walked with the droids for some time, following them through the twisted metal and rotten bodies that littered the dead city. After walking for about two minutes, CX-PX stopped in front of a huge metal pile.
"Well", said CX-PX. "That was Jhaetoe's Speeder Shop."
"Great", yelled Shaina. "How are we supposed to get to a base that is a week's walk without speeders?"
"We walk", said Perit.
"That will take way too long", complained Shaina. "It will take twice as long to walk through this ruble."
"We caused this to happen", said Kaldo. "I don't know how, but..." Something then made Kaldo stop his sentence and stare off into the distance.
"I sense it too", said Perit. The Jedi then activated their lightsabers and looked for what was causing the disturbance in the force. Several bodies then fell from the roof above them, and it didn't take long to realize these bodies were alive and armed. The bodies, which hailed from several different species, began to surround the Jedi and aim their blasters at them. After the Jedi and droids were packed into a tight circle, a huge, white Wookie jumped from the top of the building and landed in the middle of the circle. He then drew a long, thing vibroblade.
"Grrrrrrrrrererea!" grumbled the Wookie.
"Can you translate that?" asked Kaldo.
"Certainly", said CX-PX. "He said: I am Worwor of the CPG. I will kill you immediately. Surrender is not accepted".
"Oh Sithspawn", cursed Shaina. The bandits (that's what the Jedi called them) lifted up their weapons and began to give cries of victory. A blaster bolt then shot through the air and hit one of the bandits, who instantly died.
"Grrrrrroaaaaaa!" yelled the Wookie. The Jedi looked up and saw several people wearing black tunics fall from the sky and attack the bandits. Perit noticed not only the people clad in black not only had pitch black faces, but wielded black lightsabers.
"Get the bandits!" yelled Kaldo. Perit and the others then activated their lightsabers and took a chance at defeating the others. The bandits proved to be easy targets, as they carried nothing but blasters. But the Wookie, however, had a much more advanced weapon. He carried a large, cylinder-like stick, which shot strange blue bolts at his enemies. Whoever got into the Wookie's way he would shoot, and that person was suddenly disappear. But there was one of the black people seemed to be immune to the Wookie's weapon. That warrior seemed to be more skilled than any other Jedi with the lightsaber, and it seemed to have a special lightsaber that blocked the Wookie's shots. The black warrior then used a force push to throw the Wookie into a junk pile, and the Wookie didn't seem too happy about that.
"Grrrooooooooaoa!" yelled the Wookie. The Wookie then pressed a button on his utility belt and he disappeared and so did all the bandits. The black warriors then all walked up to the Jedi, with the one who battled the Wookie in front of the group.
"Greetings", said the lead black warrior. "How can the Knights of the Force serve you?"
"We're not the ones who asked for your help", said Shaina.
"True", said the lead black warrior. "But you can help us". The lead black warrior then removed the mask that made its face seem like nothingness to reveal that it was a blue Twi'Lek female. "I am Aayla Secura, lord of the Knights of the Force. We have been searching for you for some time".
"How did you know we were here?" asked Perit.
"Well", said Aayla, "I have to keep that secret. But you must come with me". She reached out her hand to take the Jedi with her, but all three of them activated their lightsabers in protest.
"Not until you tell us", said Perit.
"Fine then", said Aayla. "It began about thirteen years ago from my time- four days before the day you are in now. Out of nowhere, thousands of advanced ships stormed Coruscant and blew every living building in sight- except for the Jedi Temple. It was stormed by millions of lightsaber wielding droids, who slaughtered everyone- except the Padawans, who were to be used as slaves. I was on a mission to Corellia, and I got back from the mission a day after those events happened, which was the same time the Padawans were being boarded into the slave cruisers. I snuck past the guards and freed most of the Padawans- those Padawans are the people you see behind me". The Padawans then undid their masks to show their faces, which was made up of nearly every race in the Galaxy.
"But that doesn't answer the question", said Kaldo. "Why us?"
"A Jedi shall know no impatience", said Aayla. "We then fought our fight for a decade, without any hope nor chance of survival- until Kræba came along."
"I'm Kræba", said one of the Knights, who walked up next to Aayla. The Jedi couldn't distinguish what species he was for he was beyond their time, but in the later days he would be classified as a Ryn. "I was part of an organization called the CPG- the Corporation of Peacekeeping Gentlemen. It was a branch of the Galactic Federation- the government of my day- that dealt with crimes with time travel involved. In my day, time travel is a normal thing that people use in their day-to-day live, which included crime. The CPG was a well-respected organization, until Kyar Pa-Ra became Jedi supervisor of the CPG. Kyar was like your normal Jedi, except he saved the Prime Minister's life, which immediately put him in our organization. Once he joined our group, he became seduced by the powers of time travel until it corrupted his mind and turned him into the first living Sith since Darth Vader. He used his force powers to ensnare the people of the CPG. He then stole the Corporate Mining League's battle droid army and sent it back to the day of the Battle of Geonosis, when the Republic's fighting force was off on their mission. When the Jedi came back from the Battle of Geonosis, they tortured them and then began their crusade to rule the whole galaxy. That's how they destroyed the Republic and everyone in it.
"I, however, wasn't so easily convinced by Kyar's force-powered lies. I knew of his doings and left the CPG, and went around time looking for any resistance. I then found the Knights of the Force, who needed desperate help. I used my advanced technology and time-traveling capabilities to help them win their fight."
"And here we are today", said Aayla.
"But why in the name of the force do you still want us?" asked Shaina.
"That remains to be seen", said Aayla. "We had orders from someone with authority to pick you up today."
"Now you tell us", remarked Perit.
"Meanwhile", said Aayla. "The droid over there might have some use to us". She then pointed her blue finger to CX-PX, who was still hiding from the CPG attack.
"Here we go again", said CX-PX.
