Eagle
Chapter 9 "Starboard"
Before that moment, all I could think about was Cleopatra's dazzling green eyes- and the way she checked me out. But that all changed when we made it to the bridge.
Trask, the only friend I could remember because of my memory loss, my only guide. My only buddy I could always count on.
I know it would have been futile, but I will always feel that I should have helped him fight that Jedi, even if it would have led to my death. I am also always curious about what may have happened if I stayed to battle that dark warrior.
Alas, it is not helpful to dwell on the past. Nor do I think it is healthy.
So anyway, Cleo and I bolted down the path. I then noticed that unlike before her beautiful blue hair was now down in a pony tail. Yet it made her look even prettier than before. I would ask her about that later.
As we raced down the halls, I realized that since Bastila had left, we should hurry to the craft's escape pods. When I told this to Cleo, she scowled and agreed.
I suddenly wanted to yell: "Marco…Polo," for no reason whatsoever. Luckily, it was just me.
We had to ram down doors because of the security lockdown. We were lucky to have light sabers.
We soon entered a room of Sith. Cleo took out a silver-viridian light saber, while I took the red saber and my disruptor pistol.
She threw one into the red-armored leader's neck, while I sniped out two of the Sith invaders. One charged at me and I cut him in two. Meanwhile, Cleo had stabbed two troopers. We gave each other a quick high-five.
We then entered the dock. With a smile (or half smile) on his face he welcomed us. Unlike many Republic soldiers, he was not in uniform. He wore an orange and white T-shirt, brown pants, and a jacket with several pouches- all against regulations. Now that was cool!
He had black-brown hair in a style very much like my hair. I liked his style.
"Hey," he said to greet us, "I'm happy to say that you're the last people to come." He then frowned and added, "Sadly, however, there are only two pods left, so you guys will have to share one while I will be in one, remotely piloting both of ours."
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Any questions?"
We shook our heads.
"Good," he said, "let's hop to it."
We quickly entered the pods and left the Endar Spire- for good!
