Chapter 3: Trouble on Milieka Moon

"Roziljian, come in. This is Civ. Do you read?" Civ's voiced suddenly blared out. Roziljian burst into the cabin and picked up the ComLink.

"Copy, Civ. This is Roz."

"There is a strange force in the station. Something terrible has happened here. Everyone has been slaughtered- hacked to death. Prep the ship for launch then come and meet me in the main supply room. Leave Solaris on the ship when you come and make sure the droids watch her. Hurry."

"Yes, Sir." Roz prepared the great ship for launch then he rushed out of the room as the droids strolled in.

Civ, the great Jedi Master, stood in the center of the main supply room. He had gathered everything by the door and it would hopefully only take him and Roz one trip to carry the much needed supplies back to the Eon Hawk. Something was there with him and he knew it. He made no sudden movements, only meditated in the center.

The creature of the shadow lashed out at the Jedi, but before the evil being could lay one poisonous claw on him, he drew out his light saber and attacked the creature with full force. The electric green blade pierced the creature's flesh and sank in to its heart carving out a hole in its chest. Thick black blood oozed out of its body and flowed to the ground forming a puddle around the dead creature's limp body. Civ retracted his blade and bent over to examine the dead creature.

The irises of the eyes were black and the pupils were red. Civ had only seen this type of foul being once before, on the now deserted planted of Jasuki. These creatures were suppose to be extinct for, 25 years ago, the Jedi Council set off on a mission to destroy all of the Burki.

The Jedi returned to the meditation while awaiting the arrival of Roz.

Roz left the Eon Hawk in a frightful hurry. He sensed a great disturbance in the force and he knew Civ was in grave danger. It was quite obvious that Civ could defend himself in any type of situation, but it would look bad for Roz if he, Civ's Padawan Learner, did not go and help his master fight off creatures from hell.

The once proud and buzzing with life space port of Milieka Moon was exactly how Civ described it over the ComLink. There were body parts of men, women, and children everywhere. The stench was horrid. Death was in every air molecule. The disgusting sight almost made the young Padawan lose his stomach. His pace quickened with every step. He broke in a frantic run and then jerked his body around to face a group of Suka, common, but deadly creatures of deep space. Without wasting time, Roz drew out his light saber and the orange blade glowed and sparked violently with every strike.

Three aliens approached him to his left. With a quick and deadly accurate stroke, Roz sliced off the first monster's head. Roz then swung the light saber back around his head and sliced the second alien, cutting it in half from its right shoulder to is left leg. Then using the falling monster's body as a spring board, he flipped over the alien that was running up to him from behind and chopped him down the middle. Using a force push, Roz knocked the remaining two Suka against the hard steel wall. Roz had defeated the Suka and broke off into another frantic run. He had wasted too much time and Civ was waiting for him

Too much time had past since Civ had contacted Roz, and he was getting worried. Roz had a lot of spirit in him. So much spirit, not even the darkest of their enemies could break him. Not only did he possess high spirit, but he had strong knowledge of the force. It would be a shame to lose such a promising Padawan. "Master, I'm here. A Burki! They were supposed to be extinct!" Roz shouted in complete shock as he entered the room.

"Looks like they missed one. What took you so long?"

"I was held up by a group of Suka in the central way."

"At least we know what happened to everyone. I have to regret that there is no time to bury them. I will send a message to the Council and give them an account of what happened."

"Did you get all of the supplies?"

"Yes, now let us return to the ship. Solaris is waiting for us."

"Don't want to keep her highness waiting."

"Do not say such things if you want to continue training. Solaris will start her training when you are done with yours."

"Are you joking? You can't be serious... In order for her to start training, I have to be finished within the next year!"

"You are correct. Now let's get going."
