The Guardian of the Jedi emerged from hyperspace at Tatooine. Kitch grabbed the controls and took the ship down. However, instead of landing in the Mos Eisley spaceport, he took the ship out towards the Dune Sea.
"Sparky, pull me the coordinates to Master Kenobi's settlement."
A minute later, he not only saw the coordinates, but a map showing him where Master Kenobi was. He landed the ship not that far from Obi-Wan's hut. After the ship was down, Kitch and Scout got up and walked out.
It was a five-minute walk to the little hut, but the time seemed to go by fast. Before long, Kitch was inside Obi-Wan's hut. However, Obi-Wan was not there. Just as they were getting ready to leave, they heard the snap-hiss of a lightsaber being ignited.
"Who are you?"
"Master Kenobi? It's me, Kitch."
There was a second in which the lightsaber deactivated. The two turned to see Obi-Wan Kenobi walking towards them.
"Kitch, it is good to see you. May I presume this is Esterhazy with you?"
"Yes master, it is."
"Well, I'm glad to see you both. It's been a very long time since I saw you; I've not seen you since you left the Tantive IV, and that was three years ago."
"Well, I thought I would give you an update. Not long after we left, I found Barriss Offeé on Felucia, and I found Master Mace Windu was alive after facing Palpatine, being cared for by Dexter Jettster, but then I was taken captive by Darth Vader, which allowed Barriss and Master Windu to escape to Ilum. On the Star Destroyer Dark Reaper, I found Bant Eerin and Tru Veld, and with Bant's help, we killed Asajj Ventress and escaped. I found three more padawans on Corellia a year ago, one of which just fell to the Dark Side. We have relocated the Jedi to Naboo for now."
"Do you know where this padawan is going?"
"He said something about joining Vader. That's why we moved the Jedi."
"I sense you have another reason for coming here. Why?"
"Because, we need you to come with us to confront the padawan."
"Really?"
"Yes, if we can stop him before he joins Vader, then we could avert a major catastrophe."
"If I go with you, who would stay here to watch over Luke?"
"Scout could do that. It would be safer for her than facing a Dark Jedi."
"What did you just say?"
Kitch looked up at her; he knew he had made a mistake now.
"Nothing…"
"Your saying I'm too weak in the Force to face a Dark Jedi. Your treating me like a baby, and I'm almost sixteen years old!"
"Scout…"
"Of all the people I have ever known, I never thought you would make fun of me for being weak in the Force. I wish you knew how much that hurts when people tell me that."
"Look, I'm just…"
"Shut up, just shut up! I never want to see you again."
With that, she turned and ran out. Kitch and Obi-Wan looked at each other.
"What do we do Master Kenobi?"
"Give it five minutes. If she's not back, we go look for her."
Five minutes later, Scout had not returned. Finally, Obi-Wan and Kitch took the Guardian and went to Mos Eisley. As they left, Kitch noticed the Speeder Bike in the cargo hold was missing. As the arrived at Mos Eisley, Kitch noticed an Imperial shuttle leaving.
"We're going to have to be careful Kitch."
"Tell me about it."
They got off of the ship and started looking for her. Kitch and Obi-Wan split up and went looking for Scout.
It wasn't long until Kitch found a lead. He was in the cantina when the bar tender yelled at him.
"You, come here."
Kitch walked over to him.
"Are you Kitch Blue?"
"How did you…?"
"I have something for you."
He handed Kitch a lightsaber and a datapad. Kitch recognized the hilt of the lightsaber immediately; it belonged to Scout. He grabbed his comlink.
"Meet me at the ship."
Obi-Wan was waiting for Kitch at the landing pad the Guardian of the Jedi. Once he arrived, they went inside and looked at the datapad. It was a message; a message from Darth Vader.
"Young Kitch. I have waited so long for this. I have your Force-senseless girlfriend in my custody. Don't worry, she is still alive. However, if you don't meet me on Coruscant at the old Jedi Temple in four days, I will kill her, and order the entire Star Fleet to open fire and kill everyone on the capital, after the emperor is evacuated. See you later, young Jedi. And so you know, my fleet is on the way to deal with the remaining Jedi. So long."
Kitch looked at Obi-Wan.
"Let's go…"
"No."
"What do you mean?"
"It's a trap.
Vader, that padawan that just fell, and Palpatine will be waiting for
us. We need help."
"But none of the survivors are strong
enough to help us."
"There is one?"
"Who?"
"Lets get off of this planet. Then, set your course for the Dagobah system. We're going to see an old friend."
There you go. Hope you liked it, I do. (lol) Next chapter soon R&R
