Hey everybird! What's up!?
So I been… Well not busy, but haven't had enough time to sit down and get this chapter done, so sorry for the wait!
But also today is National Star Wars Day, aka May the Fourth be with you! (Get it, because May the Force be with you!)
Also, I saw Avengers: Endgame yesterday, but only because my sister really wanted to see it and she forced me to go with her. I wouldn't spoil anything, mostly because I don't really care about those movies, but I will say that my sister cried on three separate moments of the movie!
And as always before we start the chapter, today's question, which is… What is your most favorite ship from Star Wars?
Mine, if it's not obvious already, is the X-Wing Starfighter, specifically the T-65 model. (The original trilogy and Rogue One, X-Wings) The X-Wing being the main principal starfighter for the Rebel Alliance, superior to the TIE starfighters flown by the Empire. (Although the TIEs made up for it by having superior numbers) The X-Wing being heavily armed with four wingtip laser cannons and two proton torpedo launchers, as well as having deflector shields and the ability to go to hyperspace by themselves. (Things TIEs can only dream of having!) The X-Wing is of course most famous in the fact that Luke Skywalker's X-Wing was the one that fired the fatal shot which destroyed the first Death Star and an X-Wing was partially responsible for the destruction of the second one.
Okay, after my long and boring reason as to why the X-Wing is my most favorite ship from Star Wars, a quick thank you to Dovahkiin1412 for the fav and follow!
Chapter 3: The Search Continues
While Bia and Roberto were back at the Jedi temple on their green world and Carla found Master Blu's ship, as well as spending time with "uninvited guests", on the city world of Coruscant, a couple of the council members were there to search for clues themselves regarding Master Blu…
Master Mimi was currently facing off against a a much chubby dark green macaw as the two stared at each other while Mimi was currently focusing on something. Holding onto a little colored brick, she took it out from a tower of multiple colored bricks in between her and the other macaw, her friend. As Mimi took out the brick the tower collapsed and the other macaw let out a hearty laugh as Mimi laughed in return. Pushing a button on the desk in between the two, the collapsed tower was built again as the dark green macaw pointed his eyes down to it to tell Mimi if she was interested in another game. However Mimi had to get going back to the other council member she came with, Tiago.
Politely shaking her head "No", Mimi's friend turned around and got what Mimi actually came for, a box of candy, which the dark green macaw was a candy maker. Using the Force to open the box, Mimi then grabbed a piece of the candy, which she put in her beak and began chewing. She was then greeted by a surprise as the candy gave her a little shock. Liking it and smiling, she then bid her friend goodbye for now and walked out of the store, back to Tiago.
Since Coruscant was the capital of the Republic, the two council members could easily be staying at the Jedi temple on the city world, if they were on a goodwill visit that is. As Mimi came back to Tiago, the two were staying in a motel in the more poorer, crowded areas of the city world, it's not that they wanted to be here, but they were here for a specific reason as the clues the two had been following led them here. As Mimi came back, she found Tiago quietly mediating on the balcony of their motel room. Kneeing down, Mimi used the Force to open the candy box she had and then give a piece to Tiago, which he caught with his eyes still closed as he put the piece into his beak, to receive the shocking surprise.
Meanwhile, back with Roberto, he was currently walking through one of the temple hallways as he passed by a couple of older padawans who were watching a ship land down in the temple hangar. One of the padawans gave Roberto a neutral expression as Roberto nervously smiled back. Coming out from a door into the hallway up ahead was Bia and the young Padawan Roberto met earlier as the padawan ran to the railing.
As Roberto was walking towards the two, Bia and the padawan saw him as the Padawan looked at Bia first, Bia then giving the youngster a gentle push towards Roberto. Roberto knew what this was as he then pointed at himself to confirm it was true or not as the Padawan took a step even closer to Roberto as Roberto himself was quite nervous by this.
Back in the temple hangar, the ship which landed lowered its ramp as Master Jewel, with a red and white R2 unit came out, greeted by one of the Jedi masters. The master bowed in respect to Jewel as he then gave her a data pad before Jewel looked up to see Roberto and his new Padawan waving down to her. Taking an elevator ride with her droid companion, Jewel met Roberto in the tech center of the temple, where the Jedi input all their data from their missions to keep record of. As Jewel came, she input her own data, which was a list of planets she visited to check for any sign of Master Blu.
Unfortunately Jewel came back with all the planets having an X over them, which meant Blu was not seen on her list so far. As Jewel was rather depressed that her own search has come to nothing, Roberto, seeing Jewel's anxiety wanted to conform her, but hesitated at first as he then went for it, putting his wing on her shoulder as Jewel was surprised at first, but returned a warm smile.
Back on Coruscant, Tiago was still mediating on the balcony when he suddenly opened his eyes wide, having felt something as he looked down at the alleyway below. And what he felt was true as he saw what looked like a bounty hunter standing there, two cloaked figures walking up to the bounty hunter. As Tiago watched, the cloaked figures were Scarlet macaws as the hunter lifted up a small box, opening it to reveal a bright red gem. The lead Scarlet smiled as he then lifted up a gold credit bill as the Scarlet and the hunter lifted up their free wing to quickly make the exchange. With the business finished, the cloaked figures left in a hurry.
The hunter then left in the opposite direction himself as Tiago decided to follow the hunter with Mimi, only as he turned his head, he saw that Mimi had gone out again. Wingpalming himself, Tiago knew he had to deal with the hunter now or lose him. As the bounty hunter himself was walking down the alleyways, turning a corner, he came face to face with Tiago as the Jedi was blocking his path.
Quickly taking out what looked like a small explosive device, the hunter threw it at Tiago, the device being a flash detonator as bright white light shone in front of Tiago. Luckily Tiago was prepared and had enough time to put on a pair of goggles, which protected him from being blinded. As the bright white light faded, Tiago looked just in time to see that the hunter was jetpacking away from him.
While Tiago was busy with the bounty hunter, Mimi was currently walking on the roofs of buildings as she searched for something in particular, using the Force to help boost her up on higher roofs as she continued her search. Stopping, she closde her eyes and focused as she found what she was looking for in her mind, climbing up a ladder she then went to a wall, walking along it while placing a feather tip to feel for the inside. Once she found it, she placed her entire wing on the wall.
Back with Tiago chasing the bounty hunter, Tiago was running on the building rooftops while the bounty hunter was trying to fly by jetpack away, but Tiago managed to just keep up with him as the Jedi kept the hunter in sight. The bounty hunter tried to lose Tiago as he flew up, hoping Tiago couldn't jump up high enough to the next roof, only Tiago was able to do so easily as he jumped for the next roof.
The bounty hunter, knowing he couldn't lose Tiago easily, took out a pair of blaster pistols as he began shooting at Tiago. As Tiago was jumping back and forth between two rooftops, he ignited one of his blades from his dual lightsaber, easily deflecting off the hunter's shots as Tiago kept up the pace. The bounty hunter, seeing that shooting Tiago didn't help, just tried to go as fast as he could, but all of a sudden Tiago came down from above, his talons landing down on the hunter's jetpack as the hunter landed face first on the ground.
As Tiago touched down, the bounty hunter, getting back up, tackled Tiago as Tiago's lightsaber, which Tiago was holding onto, was released from his grip as it rolled a short distance away. As the hunter was now on top of Tiago, he began to bring his winged fist down on Tiago's face, but Tiago managed to dodge the punch as he then kicked the hunter off him. With the two now facing each other, the hunter threw several punches at Tiago, but Tiago blocked every single attack, before delivering his own punches, but the hunter blocked Tiago's as well.
As the two continued fighting, the hunter finally managed to get a hit on Tiago as he elbowed the Jedi on the cheek, which only made Tiago madder as he rubbed the spot where he got hit with his wing before quickly delivering some fast attacks before getting behind the hunter to Force push him back with his wing. The hunter flying backward until hitting a wall, appearing to be down and weak, but taking out another explosive device. Tiago reached for his saber with the Force, bringing it back to him as he ignited one of the blades.
Charging froward to finish the fight, the hunter threw the explosive device at Tiago, which flew right past him as Tiago recognized the device as a thermal detonator, which was armed, a red light appearing on its top as Tiago saw it fly past and fall off the edge of a roof, down towards the city streets below. Making a quick last second decision, Tiago had to let the bounty hunter go as the hunter jetpacked away while Tiago turned away and ran for the detonator.
Putting on his goggles, Tiago jumped off the roof as he reached out with his wing for the detonator before it blew. Using the Force to help boost his speed, Tiago managed to catch up and grab the explosive device before he then reached for a building flagpole, using it to help boost him up to the closet rooftop. Once there Tiago was about to throw the detonator up into the air and avoid anything getting blown up. Only as he was just about to throw it, the device's circuit shortened out, indicating it wasn't going to blow, taking off his goggles, Tiago looked at the detonator in frustration as then tossed it behind him.
Refocusing, Tiago looked from the rooftop he was currently on for any sign of the bounty hunter, but also wondering where was Mimi when he needed her help…
And I'll end it off on there!
Man, I certainly didn't think these chapters were going to get longer and longer, but hopefully you all don't mind!
See everybird later!
