Chapter 5: The valley

Sam sat in the ship's back seat.

"You want to go to the valley? Why?"

Xyron sighed. "My old master, Zen Yuon, left me a short message before he was murdered. He told me to find the "valley of the Jadi", that hope lies there".

Xyron got up from his seat and began walking towards a small footlocker in the ship's back.

"I've been searching the valley for over a year, and I almost lost hope, until I've found this on new Alderaan".

Xyron opened the footlocker and took out a rusted datapad.

Sam looked interested. "What's that?"

Xyron pressed a blue button on the datapad's left side and gave the datapad to Sam. Sam stared at the datapad. It was written in galactic common.

"The journal of Kyle Katarn"

"Kyle Katarn. He's a legend among us mercenaries, and I guess that among the Jedi to". Sam said.

"No". Xyron answered and smiled. "He's even more then a legend. He knew where the "valley of the Jedi" is, and the coordinates to the valley are in his journal. All I have to do is to travel to the valley and to find the hope my master told me about. So, I'll wait here with you until the sith will leave the area, so you will be able to get out of this place alive. Thanks for the help in the cantina".

"Slow down slow down....." Sam said. "I've killed elite sith soldier, and assisted a rebel Jedi to escape. We're in this together".

Xyron sighed. "You have no reason to stay with me, and you won't get any money from this".

"You think I'm in this for the money?" Sam laughed loudly. "I'm in this for the glory. Money comes and goes, but glory stays forever".

"We'll talk about that when we'll get to the valley, I sense the sith in this building".

Xyron sat on the pilot chair and began the ignition process.

"Fasten your seat belt; we're getting out of this place"

The hanger's roof was opened and the shining blue ship took off the dark and neglected docking bay a few seconds before the F.U.T.S. arrived. Ten F.U.T.S. soldiers ran into the hanger, blasting doors and searching in every corner of the abandoned docking bay.

"Damn you Jedi!" Said one of the soldiers and threw his helmet on the floor. "One day I'll find you, and when that day will come I'll get the glory for killing the last Jedi in the galaxy!"

"What will we do now commander?"

The commander sighed. "We'll go back to lord Mutar. He'll know what to do".
