Chapter 2

Atton tossed and turned, he couldn't sleep. After all the jedi he murdered, and he gets a conscience now. Over a small thing, too.

I'd hardly consider loving the last jedi a small thing. You always were a fool...

Atton bolted upright in his bed and hit the top of his bunk. He groaned and leapt out of his bed, now fully awake, and lightsaber drawn. He was not seeing what he thought he was. It couldn't be...

"You always were a manipulative witch..." He shot back.

Stay away from her... I will not allow you to ruin her future.

"I have no clue what you're talking about, but ruin is hardly the word that you should use, considering everything you did to her...us." He quickly corrected.

You've been warned...I will not take kindly to impudence and disobedience.

"You're not real...and hardly in a position to threaten me..." Atton started to choke. It was as if an invisible hand reached up and was crushing his neck...he knelt to the floor and sputtered as he was released from the death grip. He gingerly rubbed his neck.

As I said... I will not be so merciful next time.

" If Kreia wasn't already dead I'd..." Visas suddenly rounded the corner and smacked into Atton. She bowed in apology and continued on...in a very hasty walk. " What's with her? Wait, I know...more jedi around, more problems."

Skye struggled to wake up. She opened her eyes, everything looked blurry for a few moments. Awkward silence filled the room. Her hand brushed against hard, cold metal. She jumped up. T3-M4 stared up at her, making little whistling noises. It took her a minute to understand what the droid was telling her.

"Atton wants to see me? Why?" The droid whistled some more followed by a couple of beeps." OK, tell him I'll be right there."

The droid wheeled off in search of Atton. Skye strapped her lightsaber to her belt, and walked down the hallway towards the cockpit. As she walked she was suddenly thrown to the side of the ship into some sharp piece of shrapnel. She groaned in pain as she held her side, continuing to the cockpit. Atton rushed to her side as she limped in. She waved him away.

"Are you okay? What happened?" Worry creased his face.

"I was about to ask you the same thing." Beeping erupted from the targeting screen.

"Incoming fighters! Someone get on those turets!" Skye started towards the turrets. Atton grabbed her gently." Oh no, I don't think so. You get back to bed, no more playing hero today." Skye stubbornly stood where she was." Fine, but don't tell me I didn't warn you. You wanna help? Than strap yourself down, we're going into evasive manuevers."

"Why! Who's firing on us!" Atton was already turning the ship a 180 degree turn. She almost lost her balance again." I thought we were going to Onderon! Aren't we suppose to be there by now? I swear, Atton, if you diverted course to Nar Shaadaa, so help me I'm gonna..." Skye was now yelling over the firing of the turrets.

"Skye, I'm a little busy right now! You could stop jumping to unreasonable conclusions! We were going to Onderon..." He paused as again turned the ship and put it into a dive," It's not there."

Skye looked astonished." What do you mean?"

"I mean it's not there! All that's left of Onderon and it's moons is space debris! I'm surprised that you didn't feel anything since on a count that you're a jedi and all. Skye, I really think you should sit down..."

"You just told me that our planet count just went to 3 or 4, and now you're telling me to sit down! I'm not going to sit..." A large jolt struck the ship and sent Skye flying into Atton's lap.

"I meant in your own seat, but this works too." She nearly leapt off of him." Relax, I've got everything under control..." The emergency alert went on.

Skye gave him a look." You were saying?"

The ship shuddered before going into hyperspace. Atton breathed a sigh of relief. " See? I've gotten out of trouble countless times, I told you that already. We were ambushed by a Sith Battle fleet."

" Probably caught Onderon and Dxun by surprise, too." Skye sunk into the co-pilot's seat.

"Now let's take a look at that cut..." Skye backed away from Atton.

"Atton, I'm fine...I'll just go have Mical take a look at it. Don't worry about me, just set a course for..." Skye thought a moment," Nar Shaadaa. It's a good place to hide for now. The Sith will probably be following us so... leading them to Coruscant isn't a very good idea... I'm gonna go find Mical now..." Atton seemed to sink into his seat a little.

" Mical gets all the fun..." he grumbled to himself.

"Pardon?" Skye turned around.

"Nothing...um, nothing, it was nothing. I said Mical is in his quarters." Atton studdered.

"Oh," Skye headed to the starboard quarters. I could of swore he said... nevermind, it was probably just my imagination.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Onderon was nothing more than bits and pieces of floating debris. The once beautiful planet was now gone...blown to bits. Not to mention Queen Talia and all the other innocent people and creatures that had been busily minding their own business when out of nowhere a Sith battle fleet appeared and crushed the life of everyone of them. The worst part was that...once again...it was her fault. The Sith had probably been following their ship and decided to kill two birds with one stone. Since Onderon was part of the Republic, why not blow it up and then blow them up. Too bad they miscalculated...only Onderon was the one to pay the price.

"Well, that should do it. You suffered a pretty bad cut...you should be up and better by the morning, so I wouldn't worry about it. You should get some rest." Mical looked expectantly at her as she sat there for a moment trying to collect her thoughts.

"Oh...oh yeah, you're right. Thanks, by the way. I guess I'll head to bed than..." Skye headed off to her room, but was stopped midway by Mira's voice.

"So what did you do to him?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Like you didn't notice Atton moping around..."

"What's that got to do with me?"

"Don't give me that. Whenever he mopes around like that it has to do with you so...what happened?" Skye gave up trying to get some sleep.

"Nothing happened."

"You're lying."

"The only thing that I can think of to make him upset is that I didn't except his help when I cut myself on some damn piece of metal on the ship."

"I knew it! Then what happened..."

"He offered to look at it and I said I'd just have Mical wrap it up."

"No wonder he's mad..."

" I don't get it..."

" It's obvious... he's mad because you turned to the disciple instead of him. He offered, and you turned him down, and went straight to Mical instead. Real nice going, Skye." She said sarcastically.

" So what do you want me to do?"

"Hey, leave me out of it. This is between you and Atton..." and with that concluding statement Mira left.

"Just great..." Skye mumbled as she left the room. Jedi weren't suppose to get involved...yet she had become attached to the crew...Atton. Her path had suddenly become harder to walk. The path of a jedi was difficult, she knew.
