Hello everyone. Here is chapter 7. I hope that you will enjoy it. :)
After following Obi-wan Kenobi and the young man, Nightfly along with Xander watched as the young man sold his landspeeder. They had a feeling that, the two are selling the vehicle because of the payment that has been promised to the smuggler. Although they had no idea what that payment was, the two are still going to head for Falcon.
When they finally found the Millennium Falcon, their first reaction was one of shock as they couldn't believe what they're seeing. It looked very worn-down, almost as if nobody had even bothered to wash it from time to time at all. It was a disappointing sight to behold, nonetheless they managed to enter the millennium Falcon.
Nightfly was impressed by the inside of the ship, which included an sofa-like seats and a table in front of it. Xander, himself, is in awe of what he is seeing, from the inside of the Falcon as he couldn't imagine that this is what it is like on the inside of the Millennium Falcon. Unfortunely, they have been spotted by Obi-wan and the young man.
"Well, what have we got here?, stowaways, is it?" asked Obi-wan as he chuckled gently at the sight of the two. "Don't worry, you two, I'm sure you have your reasons".
"We are so sorry, sir, we didn't want to alarm you" said Nightfly as he looked at Obi-wan Kenobi in sadness. "My friend and I wanted to find a ship to get on, that's all".
"It's ok, you can come along with us, right Ben?" asked the young man as his master nodded his head in response. "Also, my name is Luke Skywalker, who are you?".
"I'm Nightfly, I was named due to being born at night" said Nightfly as he explained the origins of his name. "Also, I was born, when my parent's ship was still flying".
"My name is Xander, I was an Jedi Padawan learner" said Xander as this caught Obi-wan Kenobi's attention. "My master was called Shaak Ti, she died trying to save me".
"I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you're ok" said Luke as he put a comforting wing on Xander's shoulder. "Believe me, I know how it feels, I lost people close to me, too".
Xander could only nod in acceptance, while Nightfly could only look on with a smile on his face at the sight of the two. He understood at that moment, that both Luke Skywalker and Xander are both sharing their personal losses with each other as this will help them begin a strong bond. This gave him hope, Xander would open up more.
After looking at the two, Nightfly turned his attention to Obi-wan Kenobi as he saw the older guy looking him. It's clear to Nightfly, that the famous Jedi master was looking him with an facial expression that is filled with curiosity. The young teenager began to wonder about, why he is looking at him like that as he hoped to find out the answers.
They were also told about an important mission, which is to get some important plans to the rebel alliance. These plans being about the Death Star, which is currently stored inside an blue droid called R2-D2 alongside his friend C3PO. Nightfly is happy to meet the two, before he and Xander promised to help deliver the plans to the rebellion.
Unfortunely blaster shots were fired, which resulted in the smuggler and his co-pilot getting themselves onboard. It was clear that trouble has arrived, luckily the smuggler and his co-pilot has managed to get the Millennium Falcon off the ground. They got in the air, before they ended up flying away from trouble in the direction of the unknown.
While they are busy flying in the direction of Alderaan, Nightfly began to wonder if he had joined on the adventure of a lifetime. He also wanted to go on an adventure, although he has never had the opportunity to do so as he really wanted to explore the galaxy. Finally he has that chance, which brought an happy smile on his face.
Once again his mind went back to thinking of Bia, he clearly misses her as he hopes that Bia is still alive somewhere in the galaxy. Xander noticed Nightfly's change in emotion, which had Nightfly going from happy to sadness in a matter of seconds, before he walked over to Nightfly as he gave the latter a comforting tap on the shoulder.
The young teenager responded with a smile of his own, knowing that his friend is comforting him. After thinking about Bia for a few minutes, he decided to return back to the present as he knew that he and Xander have a lot to do while they are on the Millennium Falcon. So Xander had an idea, he decided to allow Nightfly borrow his Lightsaber.
This caught Nightfly off-guard, which caused him to briefly wonder the offer was actually genuine. When he got the nod that it is for real, he gently took the Lightsaber as he was given instructions by Obi-wan on how to activate the Lightsaber. After following Obi-wan Kenobi's instructions, Nightfly managed to activate the famous Jedi weapon.
He decided to swing it slowly, while admiring the mere sight of himself actually holding a Lightsaber. It started off with one wing, until he decided to hold it with both wings as this allows him to gain a good grip on it. This resulted in Nightfly swinging the weapon, in a manner of bringing it down from above his head and using it to attempt a block.
When he was finished using it, Obi-wan called him over as he wanted to speak with him about something. This caused Nightfly to become confused, especially when he has no idea why the legendary Jedi Master wants to talk him as he made his way over to the elderly male Spix Macaw. Xander himself, began to wonder about what's going on.
Well the adventure continues. :)
