Chapter 5: Mission Time
Jackie: Welcome back to Bounded By Fate!
Jessie: Sorry we were going for a long time. Oh and Adi is a part of the Jedi council. And this doesn't go with any episodes.
Lindsay: Yeah…. We just started up high school.
Steven and Erik: Yep… so it's hard to type the chapters up.
AnotherChance: Ok! Thanks! And no, we don't all write it together because Steven and Erik live near Orlando and the rest of us live in Dunedin. So just my sis and I write in it, Even though we see Lindsay and Molly at school.
"Their rooms you must show them Stass." Yoda instructed. Stass nodded and guided the teens down the hallway towards their separate rooms. Shaak Ti however, went to find Trav Di. Yoda walked towards the meditating room as the other masters walked their separate rooms.
Trav Di headed back to his own room when he heard footsteps fall in step beside him. A gentle hand rested on his shoulder. He didn't need to look up to know who it was.
"Trav… I know you want to find Sin but now isn't the time." The gentle voice of Shaak Ti said quietly.
"I know that, but he was taken from me to soon! He was lied to by the Sith… Shaak… He even tried to kill me." Trav growled, raising his unblinking gaze to meet hers. His eyes were clouded with pain and suffering. Shaak Ti's hand gripped his shoulder.
"Don't focus on the negative thoughts. Try to relax and forget all of it for the time being." She said, gazing into his unblinking eyes. He sighed and nodded.
"But you have no idea what I been through already." He shrugged off her hand and continued walking towards his room. Shaak Ti sighed as she watched him go.
"He must not dwell on the past." She muttered before turning around and walking towards her own room.
The next morning flew by fast for the teens. First breakfast, then a little training against each other while their masters watch them. Then a few hours on personal training with their own masters. After that they met up in the dining area. Jessie stumbled into the mess area. She collapsed in a seat next to Lindsay and Steven, who were eating there meals quietly.
"Someone kill me now! My whole body aches from being thrown into the wall so many times." She whined.
"Don't complain. I had a hard time blocking hits from Master Ti that I was soon on the ground." Jackie growled as she looked up from her meal.
"Ok I was driving… my… master… insane again….." Molly said dully. And with that Erik, who was sitting next to her slapped her upside the head.
"Molly you always drove people insane no matter where you go!" Steven growled to her. Lindsay just had to agree with him. They had seen Stass annoyed once before and they didn't want to see her annoyed again.
"Molly. It makes us look bad!" Jessie warned. Molly took the hint and returned to her meal, not talking.
"Who was that Nautolan guy? That one that walked in. What was his problem?" Molly asked after a few long minutes of silence. She got another smack to the head by Jackie that time. Molly glanced at the other five teens, who were giving her death glares, all of them aimed at her. That was when a hand was placed on Molly's shoulder. Molly jumped a little, startled then looked over her shoulder to see Stass Allie looking down at her. Molly had that 'please help me' look on her face as she glanced at the other teens. The others had to bite their tongues to keep from laughing out loud.
"Molly is in deep waters now!" Jessie whispered to Lindsay. Lindsay nodded. Erik and Jackie shook their heads and went back to eating. Molly gulped and looked up her master. Stass looked down at her padawan.
"The council has decided that you all are coming with us on a mission to the outer rim." She said looking at all of the padawans in turn, as the other masters appeared in back of her.
"We leave now." Kit stated and motioned them to follow. The six padawans nodded and stood up. The followed their respected masters to the hanger. Their mission: To find a Sith Lord or apprentice, or a Dark Jedi who might be located on Destra, a planet in the outer rim.
They got onto a large cruiser ship. Just as the cruiser was about to take off a shadowy figure slipped into the ship undetected. A few seconds later the cruiser took off and moved out of the large hanger and headed up towards the atmosphere. Meanwhile inside the ship, the teens were talking amongst themselves, wanting to keep their mind off the mission that they were going on. The Masters glanced at the teens and smiled a little.
Ki Adi and Kit were chatting together but the others were either sitting quietly or meditating. Luminara, however, was just staring out of the main window. She glanced back and sighed.
The Jedi who had slipped into the ship was leaning against the ship wall in a hidden compartment, hiding his presence so that they wouldn't know he was there. Shaak Ti glanced back in the direction of Trav Di, who was in the hidden compartment, then shifted to the padawans, who were now practicing on with training remotes. It seemed like they were getting better at wielding their lightsabers. Even Stass was impressed with molly. The ship entered hyperspeed at that moment. The six friends all tripped and their lightsabers went flying away. Stass muttered something under her breath.
"Warn us next time!" Steven croaked from the bottom of the pile of padawans when the ship came out of hyperspeed. Kit glanced over at the pile of human kids and couldn't help but smile. Trav grinned as he heard the growls and curses of the human padawans. Aayla sighed and she glanced at the other masters.
Jackie: Well that's the end of this chapter.
Jessie: Hope you enjoyed it!
Molly: It's a tight week for them. They both are always busy with school and band and homework.
Lindsay: Yeah and we are too!
Steven: Hey we are in school as well!
Erik: Yep. And homework sucks.
Spoiler: He made sure that no one looking. He stepped closer and pecked her on the cheek. Shaak Ti blushed madly as her eyes darted to him then to the other Jedi behind her, luckily the others hadn't seen that.
"Stop blushing." He muttered.
