Hello everyone. Here is chapter 5. I hope that you will enjoy it. :)
The sight of the male Spix Macaw shocked Nightfly, he has absolutely no idea about the identity of this newcomer. He hasn't even seen him before, although he began to wonder about whether the guy is on the side of either good or evil. It didn't appear that he's on the side of evil, especially when he had just slaughtered Stormtroopers.
After thinking for a few minutes, he felt hungry as he began to eat some snacks that he had brought with him. It wasn't much, though it was better than nothing as he continued to eat the snacks. When he was finished, he went back to thinking about the mysterious male Spix Macaw as he really wants to know the guy's motives.
When he decided to have a break, the male Spix Macaw spotted Nightfly and smiled at the sight of him. It's clear that, he is happy to meet another Spix Macaw like Nightfly as he hopes to talk to him about something important. Although the two were wary of each other, they nevertheless decided to introduce themselves to each other.
"Hello my name is Xander, I am an Jedi Padawan" said the male Spix Macaw as he gave an smile. "So, what's your name?, you do have a name, don't you?, buddy?".
"Yes, I do and my name is Nightfly, nice to meet you" said Nightfly as he quickly realised something. "Hold on a minute, did you just say that you are a Jedi Padawan?".
"That's correct, my master was a Jedi called Shaak Ti" said Xander as he remembered his old master. "She was the greatest, but, when she died, I was all on my own".
Xander became sad at the very memory of it, showing how much it is affecting him on a emotional level. This caused Nightfly to feel sorry for his friend, knowing that he is still going through the painful stage of deep mourning. He has seen that look a few years ago, when Lisa had lost both of her parents as well as both of her older siblings.
"I'm so sorry to hear that, she must be a good Jedi" said Nightfly as he felt sorry for his new friend. "So, what are you doing now?, you want to fight against the empire?".
"Yes I do, but, I am searching for someone important" said Xander as he paused before revealing it. "I am searching for a Jedi master, who calls himself Obi-Wan Kenobi".
"Obi-wan Kenobi?, the greatest Jedi master of all time?" asked Nightfly as Xander nodded in response. "Wow, I have heard stories about him, he must be one of the best".
"Yeah, he sure is, except, that is not the only thing" said Xander as he thought of the memory and smiled. "I heard that he fought Darth Vader, heck, he even defeated him".
Nightfly couldn't believe what he's hearing, it was just incredible to hear that a Jedi had defeated Darth Vader. Although he suspects, that the infamous Sith lord is probably out searching for revenge for the loss as he must be so desperate to prove that he's better than Obi-wan. It's clear that, Darth Vader has only become even more dangerous.
The two discussed many important things, including their personal life along with their shared desire of the same thing. They both wanted to end the empire, although they decided to work together as they both know that they are going after the same thing. They agreed to head to Tatooine first, since Xander heard that the Jedi master is there.
He tells Nightfly that he was looking for him, when he heard some rumours about the legendary Jedi master from a source. It is revealed that the source is Ezra Bridger, a young teenager who is a member of the "Ghost" crew, who had found the Jedi's location. Unfortunely for Xander however, he ended up having to go to take the longer route.
That "longer route" was filled with battles, mostly from an former inquisitor called Jerserra, who now works as a mercenary. They battled each other many times in the past, that usually ended with Xander being forced to flee due to not having much combat experience. It is something he's been working on, knowing that he can't run away forever.
Nightfly has never heard about the inquisitors, although he now knows that the empire has been hiding their very existence. Despite knowing that however, he was horrified to find out that they have been tasked with hunting down any Jedi that survived order sixty-six. They were also tasked with kidnapping children, that deeply angered Nightfly.
He couldn't believe that the empire got away with it, the thought only angered him further as he tightly clenched his right wing. It took a lot of his willpower, in order to keep calm as he began to breathe in and out with slow deep breaths that managed to help him relax. When he'd finished doing that, he told Xander to take them both to Tatooine.
Xander gladly put in the coordinates for Tatooine, before hitting the hyperspace button. It wasn't long after that, when it resulted in the shuttle entering hyperspace as they travelled through the bright mixture of dark and light blue portal. They eventually exited Hyperspace, where they found themselves looking at the famous planet of Tatooine.
When they entered the planet and landed on it's surface, they lowered the landing ramp before walking off the shuttle. After getting off the shuttle, they headed in the direction that Xander was convinced that Obi-wan Kenobi would be heading. They continued in the direction, until they came across two figures standing overlooking a cliff.
They spotted that one of the figures is a young bird, while the other figure is an old bird wearing an familiar Jedi robe. This convinced Xander, that the old man has to be the famous Jedi Master Obi-wan Kenobi as the figure even sounded like him. There was something about the old man's voice, that the young Padawan would recognize any day.
After spotting Obi-wan and the young bird, they watched the two as they got into an landspeeder before they drove off. Although they wondered where they could possibly be heading, Nightfly and Xander managed to spot what they are heading towards. It is none other than, the city of Mos Eisley. It's a city that Xander, clearly showed a dislike for.
This confused Nightfly, who wondered what a city like Mos Eisley would cause Xander to show such dislike. Though he has no idea, that he is going to find out the exact reason why somebody like Xander would hold a grudge towards the city itself. The two began to quickly hurry there, knowing very well that they haven't got that much time.
It took them a few number of hours, in order to get to Mos Eisley as they began to search for Obi-wan Kenobi and the young man. The search proved to be hard, although they decided search the Mos Eisley Cantina as they theorized that the two must have entered the cantina to possibly try to find some skilful pilots to take them off Tatooine.
Luckily for the two of them, they have managed to spot Obi-wan Kenobi and the young man talking to an smuggler as well as a Wookiee. While they let the four negotiate, Nightfly and Xander managed to keep their heads down by sitting at an nearby table as well as listening to the conversation and keeping an eye out for any Stormtroopers.
The two began to take turns, looking around for any sight of Stormtroopers as they hoped that there weren't any in the Cantina itself. The two also kept listening to the conversation between the smuggler and Obi-wan Kenobi, it is very clear that the smuggler is dealing with a guy that has proven himself to be experienced at negotiations.
It's a good thing that they've found Obi-wan, let's hope that they can help him out. :)
Also, this story will involve my OC Nightfly doing detective work, so he can find out what happened to Alex and Liz as well as their ultimate fate, after they had been taken away from Lisa by the Stormtroopers of the galactic empire. Let's hope that he can quickly find them, before it is too late.
