Chapter 4: Runaway
Xyron closed his eyes slowly and concentrated.
"More soldiers. Let's go". He said.
"Where will we go?" Sam asked. "Do you have a ship?"
"Of course I do". Xyron said it as if it was obvious. "Load your blaster because this is going to be nasty".
I must find a way to get us out of here. I sense too many sith soldiers here.
Xyron tried to find an escape route in the dark street, but he saw a better way to return to his ship, a lot better.
"Yes! By the force! This is the best thing we can find here, and it is perfect!" he yelled and pointed a red vehicle that lied in one of the alleys.
A speeder, Perfect! Sam thought. "I'll drive, you'll shoot." He said, feeling the adrenalin in his blood.
Xyron and Sam got on the small speeder that looked like a big bike. Xyron sat behind Sam and leaned on him.
I hope he knows how to drive.
Sam began driving the street. There was a red button near Sam's finger- the acceleration button. Sam accelerated the speeder into full speed. Xyron put his ands on Sam's chest as if he was hugging him. Then he pulled out two blaster rifles from Sam's jacket.
Ready or not, here we come.
Xyron looked foreword and saw a sith squad near the cantina's main entrance. Five soldiers near the entrance and three more on the other side of the road. Xyron aimed his blasters, one for each blaster for one side of the road.
This is it.
Xyron began shooting the soldiers as the speeder quickly passed them. Xyron looked back to the soldiers' position.
They're all dead .
"So where will we go?" Sam asked, trying to overcome the speeder's engine noise. "I'll tell you in my ship, the docking bay is not far from here, take the next right turn and you'll get there." Xyron answered. Xyron and Sam got off the speeder, and Sam turned it off.
It reminds me of home, sad and dark. Xyron thought.
The docking bay was a large facility, Black and cold as the rest of the planet. Like Coruscant, new Alderaan was once a planet full of life and joy, until Mutar seized control of the empire's fleet.
Xyron thought about the first time he visited this bay, when the new Jedi order was in control. The docking bay was white, happy, and full of life. He was there as a padawan, with his old mentor, Master Zen.
"Your attraction to the dark side is natural, every Jedi is attracted to the dark side, and it is part of your nature- the passion for the unknown and the mysterious. Every Jedi wants to know how the dark side feels, but only the greatest Jedi know that the dark side is a path to destruction and death".
"You mean that the dark path is wrong?"
"Remember that there is no right and wrong, there are only opinions. For example, a sith lord thinks that the dark side is right, and a Jedi master thinks that the path of light is right. Can you tell me which on of them is right?
"The Jedi master of course".
"You were educated to follow the light side, and this is your opinion". Said master Zen. "You are too young to understand the true meaning of the force, and to understand it you must first understand the way of the universe. You have much to learn, and you've got time for everything. Now, let's get back to the ship".
Master Zen's ship, the Guarding griffon, was a T shaped blue starfighter. It was equipped with 4 engines and a respectful weapon arsenal. Once, it was Zen's pride, now, it was the only thing that was left from him.
"So where are we going?" said Sam.
Xyron smiled. "To the valley of the Jedi".
