Secondly, thanks a lot for reading my story, but I really do hope that you readers give some reviews. Please. Hope you like this second last chapter.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Title: Feelings
Chapter: 4
The medical droid had fixed three of his right ribs and two left ribs within thirty five minutes. Right now, he's walking as calmly as he can towards the Nu-class shuttle Adverse. It was almost an hour now since he had left that facility.
With her athletic body, Force powers and desperation to escape, Ekusira should have been at the shuttle about 20 minutes ago, though Webb. When he got to the ship, he heard a voice calling out his name softly. He looked around and saw a silhouette of a Twi'Lek hiding in the bushes near the shuttle. Webb walked calmly, but fast, joining her in the shuttle.
With her as his co-pilot, they hijacked the shuttle and managed to get to the planet's orbit. As Webb set a course in the hyperdrive, Ekusira managed to find the Republic signal beacon and shut it down. Webb had thought up three other coordinates located in Mid Rim to try to fool any Imperial forces, but he knew it wouldn't be long before his brothers find him. He had decided to call one of his contacts that he had made through the help of Lieutenant Book.
"Where are you taking me?" asked the Twi'Lek.
"Right now, I'm trying to fool the Empire from following us. I got another two coordinates in mind to set after getting out of hyperspace," said Webb as he noticed that Ekusira was still holding her weapon.
"Where exactly are you taking me?" Ekusira asked again. "And who did you call just now?"
"The real place I wanted to take you is Concord Dawn, the home planet of our template. The person I made contact with is someone who could help take us there."
"Tell me why you are helping me instead of reporting to the authorities or gunning me down?" she asked with an agitated voice.
"Do you know the reason why we clones gun down our Jedi commanders?"
"No, I don't. Nobody told me why the Jedi were hunted down, even when I managed to stowaway on a ship. I heard that the 'self proclaimed emperor' ordered our deaths."
"He ordered us to execute Order 66. It was part of our 150 contingency orders and tells us that the Jedi had forcefully tried to take over the Republic and must be removed by lethal force. I'm telling you this because I regretted obeying that order and killing your master," Webb could see the shock on her face.
"You love her, don't you?"
"I love my brothers, but somehow I loved her more. That's why I'm helping you escape and I thank you, Commander, for not killing me."
"The truth is, I don't even know why I didn't kill you. My heart urged me to do it, but something prevented me from killing you."
Webb moved his head slightly as if in acknowledgement. Both of them didn't speak after that. As planned, they got out from hyperspace and Webb set in the second coordinates. He did the same for the third. They finally met up with Webb's contact six hours later and went aboard the other ship, leaving behind the shuttle.
