Hey everybird! What's up!?

So I did forget my question for you all last chapter, so lets get that out of the way!

So today's question is: What's one food you just cannot live without?

For me, it's a Korean dish called Budae Jjigae which is Korean for Army Base Stew. So let me tell you a little story… After the Korean War ended, there was hardly any food in South Korea because of the toll years of war did to the land, not even rice could be grown during the initial aftermath of the war, basically all the Koreans had was water and luckily Kimchi, which is a spicy fermented cabbage. However there was all the food left over in former U.S. military bases or what active U.S. bases there were, food was sold by the black market or looted, food like spam, hot dogs, etc. So what the Koreans did was combine the spicy Kimchi and the spam, hot dogs, etc into some water and made the delicious stew that's still around today.

Now I love it because it's spicy, salty and it has so much stuff, like kimchi, spam, hotdogs, bacon, onions, ramen noodles, scallions, (I'm getting hungry…) and sometimes there's some more stuff like baked beans, cheese, mushrooms, etc. It's just a nice, steaming hot bowl of heaven for me and I am never mad when I'm eating it! Trust me, next time you go to a Korean restaurant or even if it's your first time, if they have Budae Jjigae, get it! I think it's a first good Korean dish to try, because it has Western ingredients in there as well, which you probably have eaten differently before.

Also I made a quick change to the colors of Carla and Tiago's lightsabers!

Now before we get to the real story, quick thank you to Nightfly123 and T8ECR34T0R for the favs and/or follows!

Chapter 2: In the Right Direction

As Roberto finished that memory, a tear rolled down from one of his eyes as his eyes were still closed while behind him, the elevator door opened again, Bia having followed Roberto. Bia was a little surprised to see Roberto kneeing, but smiled as she came froward in front of the saved knight. Opening his eyes, Roberto saw Bia as she extended out a wing for the fellow knight to take, which Roberto hesitated for a couple of seconds before taking it, Bia helping Roberto to stand back up.

As Bia was a little worried for Roberto, she had an idea to help him, leading him outside to the temple gardens, a quiet and peaceful place where the Jedi could meditate or practice on using the Force, which was what one young Padawan, the one Bia was talking to earlier, was doing. The young padawan, a girl and a Blue and Scarlet hybrid, was trying to lift a small rock with the Force, her eyes closed and clearly trying to focus as she struggled, the rock barely lifting up a few inches from the dirt which it was settled on.

As the little Padawan gave up, clearly unable to lift the rock, she opened her eyes and seeing a couple of shadows on either side of her, she turned around, first seeing Master Bia, who the Padawan bowed to. Only as she turned to see Roberto, the little girl took a step back in fear as Roberto didn't blame the young Padawan for doing so. Nodding to Roberto, Master Bia stepped aside as Roberto took a deep breath and knelt down in front of the Padawan. Closing his eyes, Roberto focused on the small rock the little girl was trying to pick up earlier, lifting it up and bringing it to him as he used the Force to spin it around, make a circle in the air with it, little tricks like that.

The young Padawan was clearly impressed as Roberto reopened his eyes and with the Force gave the rock gently to the little girl, to catch it so she could try. Only as the Padawan caught the rock with the Force, only a couple seconds later the rock shot out, almost hitting Roberto in the face, but luckily he managed to catch it with the Force and held it in place. Not upset, Roberto, with his eyes opened, explained to the Padawan how to control the rock with the Force while Bia looked on with hopefulness for the once fallen knight.

Meanwhile the small ship which left earlier from the temple building exited hyperspace as it arrived at its destination, the pilot unhooking her ship from the hyperspace booster ring as she flew her ship towards a nearby planet, which was mostly blue and green. Landing down on a specific set of coordinates, the pilot opened the cockpit to reveal Carla as she got out and started walking. Coming to a cliffside, she looked through a pair of binoculars, scanning the area as she found what she was looking for… The crashed ship which Master Blu left in when he went for his mission.

Carefully sliding her way down to the ground where the ship was, she walked until she reached the ship, which had plants starting to glow over it, indicating that the ship was here for quite awhile, but any clue to where the council leader was is helpful to finding Master Blu. Using the Force, Carla opened the entrance to the ship, the door lowering as it was dark inside, igniting her saber so to have some light in the dark insides, Carla made her way to the cockpit to find any hint as to where Master Blu was heading.

Pulling all the information from the ship's logs and putting it into a data chip she inserted into the control panel, Carla thought she felt something as she stopped for a minute and listened, as a few seconds passed and nothing showed up, Carla returned to her work. As she was almost done, Carla definitely felt something was sneaking up on her as she at first slowly reached her wing down to her belt where she kept her saber before quickly turning around and facing her attacker.

Her attacker being a robot in the shape of a macaw, holding onto a dual bladed energy weapon, similar to a lightsaber. The robot struck first, bringing up the bottom blade to strike, but Carla blocked it as the robot then tried using the top blade, but Carla blocked the second attack as well before kicking the robot, separating the two and giving Carla enough time to use her other weapon. Unlike most of the other sabers the Jedi used, the bottom half of Carla's saber separated into a blaster, Carla using it now to force back the robot and put him on the defensive, giving the robot no time to react as she sliced off the robot's metal head from its body.

Hearing a noise from the control panel of the cockpit, all the information extracted into the data chip, Carla used the Force to pull and bring it to her as she caught it in her wing. However Carla still wanted to search the ship more for clues, but the robot had friends as Carla found several more of those energy blade wielding robots blocking her path.

Easily managing to slice the first robot in half, she faced the second one, which also didn't put up much of a fight as she kicked the robot right in the face with her talons before slicing the robot's torso from its legs. The final robot put up as much a fight as the first robot Carla faced in the cockpit as Carla crossed blades with the robot, the two holding each other at bay, or at least that's what the robot thought as the two raised up their blades, Carla holding onto her blaster at the same time, fired a shot right into the robot's eye. Grabbing onto the robot's weapon using the Force, before it fell to the floor, she threw the energy blade into a fourth robot trying to sneak up on her as the blade impacted the robot's chest, easily going right through, the blade's end coming out the other side of the robot.

With the robots defeated, Carla turned off her saber as she relaxed and continued her search for any clues, as it suddenly started to become darker for some reason before everything around Carla was pitch black. Wondering what was going on, Carla then heard the hiss of an igniting lightsaber from behind her, a red blade glowing in the dark.

Meanwhile Roberto, back on temple grounds, felt a disturbance in the Force as he then looked up towards the skies…

And that's the end of this chapter!

In case you're wondering, this short story doesn't take place during the Clone Wars era, but before that, just in case you were wondering about when this is taking place!

I think that's it, so…

See everybird later!
