Chapter 1: Padawans
"I'm gonna make a run for it! Cover me!"
'There he goes again!' and exhausted Jaina Solo thought. Yes, her padawan, Aarma, certainly had a knack for getting in trouble. He almost reminded her of Anakin. 'Anakin' she thought. 'No time to dwell on the past.' Jaina thought and started to fire at the ground in front of the crowed
Aarma was already running at full speed across the street that was the home of the riot they had tried to stop. 'Why does everyone hate Jedi today?' he asked himself while trying to dodge blaster bolts that he wasn't able to deflect with his lightsaber. He was almost to the ledge he was trying to get to when a blaster bolt caught him in the leg. Aarma fell and hit the ground hard. When he tried to get up, he collapsed again from the pain in his knee. 'Must be a sniper somewhere around here. Judging from where he hit me, he's on the 3rd or 4th floor in that building.' he sent to his teacher. He felt her send feelings of annoyance and amusement to him. "Funny. I was expecting some anger in that," he said to himself.
Jaina confirmed Aarma's guess when she sensed a person on the 3rd floor with a sniper rifle. She immediately fired at him when she found out his plan. She was even more relieved when she saw him retreat and holding his right arm. She didn't have time to rejoice, that mob was closing in on Aarma fast! Jaina ran to him and helped him onto her shoulder. "Thanks. I didn't know if you would help me or not." Aarma said with a hint of amusement in his voice. "Well, I don't want to explain to Master Skywalker how you died."
"Ha, Ha, very funny. Let's just get out of here."
"Fine with me."
When they arrived on Zonama Sekot, they were greeted by Ashley and her master, Jacen Solo, Roa'Tu and his master, Tahiri, and Alriti and his master, Tekli.
"What happened?" Jacen asked. Aarma answered him but was so weak he was only able to say "Sniper". Tekli took control after that.
