Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Title: Feelings
Chapter: 3
He knew that she was well trained in the Jedi arts and wasn't supposed to kill any life, but this time she killed his men in self defence. Webb took out both his DC-17 pistols and aimed at her. He wanted to fire when she charged at him. Remembering Hellon however, he immediately dropped both weapons. Webb was expecting pain, but noticed that the lightsaber was a few inches from his neck. He turned off any of his communication link in his helmet before he spoke.
"Why didn't you kill me?"
"Why didn't you take the shot when you had the chance, Webb?"
"That's because I really do want you to kill me, Commander Ekusira."
"This is the first time I heard that. Why?"
"If you want to know, escape now. 30 miles south of this building is our temporarily base. With your skills, hide in the shuttle Adverse. I will meet you there and help you escape. Now go."
As he said this, he was torn between his loyalty to the Empire and his concern for his former commander. But he had made a difficult decision of helping her out instead of bringing her in.
"What? You're trying to help me now after killing my master?"
"No time to explain. Cut a large hole in the wall to the outside and escape through the ventilation now."
"I don't have a choice, do I?"
"You don't if you want to live."
She complied and left through the ventilation.
To Webb's relief, the rest of his men arrived about 20 seconds later. That would at least give her some time to escape. Webb then reactivated his communication link.
"Over here."
"We heard blaster shots, sir. What happen?"
"Jedi. She went that way. Get her!" Webb lied, pointing towards the hole.
"You alright, sir?"
"I'll live, sergeant. Go and get her now!"
"Sir, yes, sir. Let's go boys," said the sergeant, leading the others to where Webb had pointed while ordering one of his men to accompany the commander.
Webb heard the sergeant reporting to a captain about the Jedi and ordered his squad to join the chase.
"Commander Webb, let me take you to the medical station," said the trooper, as he called for a transport.
"Thank you, trooper." Strange thing about adrenaline. Webb didn't even know that he had broken his ribs. He wondered when Ekusira had broken them, but realized the injury occurred when she had violently Force-pushed him and he had landed real hard.
