A/N: Okay, so it's a bit late. It's still the 25th in some parts of the world, though. So not really late.

Enjoy the story!
Lucifer woke up in the ruins of his ship. He crawled out from under the bunk that had been thrown on top of him and looked around. He noticed that one corner of his cloak had caught fire and quickly tore it off, throwing it over to an already burnt area.
I wonder what has become of Pyro and Emerald, Lucifer thought.
Lucifer had a sudden recollection of tying and gagging Pyro before throwing him in a closet.
Well, that's not good. He's probably suffocated by now.
Lucifer tried to stand but his left leg gave out. He muttered a curse and looked around for something to support him.
Lucifer's eyes landed on a sheet of metal that looked like it had torn away from the hull. He pulled his vibroblade of his belt and cut a thick strip of it off. After a few minutes it was good enough to serve as a walking staff.
Lucifer stood with the aid of the metal pole and walked towards the room that the closet had been in before the crash. He found that it had been partially welded to the roof, which had previously been the floor.
Lucifer cut it open with the vibroblade. Pyro tumbled out of it and landed on the floor with a thump. He was unconscious. Lucifer cursed again and attempted to drag the taller boy across the room.
Lucifer gave up after the first ten minutes, after his injured leg had collapsed four times and he had managed to move Pyro barely two metres.
Lucifer decided to look for Emerald. He walked into her cabin to find that even after being burnt to mere ashes, the room was still green. Emerald was also unconscious, slumped against the wall. Her head was bleeding and she had deep gashes on her arms and left leg. There seemed to be an awful amount of blood, though. Lucifer limped over to Emerald and turned her onto her back. There was a small metal object sticking out of her abdomen. Lucifer pulled it out and saw that it was part of a datapad. Luckily, it had not gone in very far.
Lucifer was almost panicking. The numbness his of own wounds was wearing off. Pain, shock, fear and exhaustion were beginning to affect him.
He took all of fifteen seconds to realize that he should be finding someway to stop the blood flow.
Lucifer found a piece of green material that might have once been a curtain and ripped it into strips, tying three strips around Emerald's midsection, one on her head and the rest on her arms and leg.
Lucifer realized in one murky corner of his mind that he should not move Emerald; especially seeing as moving her would consist of dragging her across the room.
His vision was swimming in front of his eyes. Lucifer suddenly felt dizzy. He sat down and leaned his head against the wall. Distantly Lucifer was aware that he might have a concussion and that he had to stay awake, but he was already too far gone to stay conscious.
Kaiden woke up. The young Prince immediately became aware of the fact that he wasn't in his bed, or probably even in the Palace, every part of him hurt and there was more than one person screaming their lungs out barely three metres from where he lay. Kaiden decided that he just simply did not want to know. He fell asleep within seconds.
Pyro woke up slowly. His head hurt, which probably meant that he had overslept again and Lucifer was in the process of killing his brain cells in the most painful way possible.
Honestly, he complains about me being too stupid to do anything and then he goes and makes me even stupider. Something is seriously wrong here, Pyro thought.
He sat up, putting a hand over his face to hopefully ward off any last "wake-up punches". Looking around, Pyro realized that Lucifer either wasn't actually hitting him, or else just hadn't bothered sticking around for Pyro to wake up.
After looking around again, he decided that it was definitely the former.
Pyro stood up too quickly and fell down again. Gritting his teeth against the pain in his head, which grew with each passing second, he slowly stood up, leaning heavily against the wall. After a few minutes of just standing there, the pain began to recede. Pyro walked out of the room and down the hallway.
Kaiden woke up again, this time because someone was poking him. He shoved the person away and heard a distant thump.
'I think we made him angry,' said a small child, accidentally sounding extremely cute.
Kaiden was a Sith-in-Training. He hated cute.
Kaiden stood up, turned around and proceeded to whack the cute child over the head using the nearest moveable object he could find. The object in question just so happened to be another disgustingly cute child.
Kaiden turned again and walked away.
After a few minutes of fighting through thick foliage and carnivorous animals, which were weak enough for Kaiden to be able to persuade them to search elsewhere, thankfully, he concluded that this had not by any means been the best idea that he had ever had. Kaiden kept struggling through, and eventually he found that the plants were more spaced out and less likely to eat him than they had been before.
Looking up, he noticed that the sky had darkened considerably since he had set out. Kaiden kept walking, towards a bunch of very tall, thick plants that he might be able to shelter under.
Pyro took a step outside the ship, dragging two unconscious bodies with him, and dropped said bodies over the metre long drop to ground level, or one of them, at any rate. Emerald was just too injured for that. Pyro didn't have any kind of grudge against her, either.
Lucifer woke up when his body hit the ground. He thought he felt his leg cracking again, too. He opened his eyes and then closed them again. He just didn't want to deal with having crashed his ship, broken his leg, almost killed both of his crewmembers and possibly been abducted. He was tired, confused, angry and more than a little bit scared. Not to mention in pain. Lucifer shut his eyes and tried to sleep.
His efforts were rendered futile when a person jumped from somewhere, probably wherever Lucifer had been drooped from, and landed right next to him, loudly.
'Aww, poor little Lucy, you must have skipped your nap time,'
Lucifer wasn't really all that good with telling voices apart if they were using that particular tone which is usually reserved for very small children or pets. However, there was only one person who would ever dare to say something like that to Lucifer.
At least this is better than being abducted and held hostage, Lucifer thought.
Pyro's next comment forced him to revise that thought.
'Looks like it might rain. There is a lot of dirt around here, don't you think? What with your broken leg, I don't think moving you would be a good idea. Not like we really have any shelter anyway,'
Lucifer opened his eyes again. Sure enough, the sky was dark and cloudy. Pyro grinned.
'Finally, you're awake. I was getting worried that I might have to keep talking to a couple of unconscious friends for hours, or even days. My sanity may not have survived, I mean, look at me, I was already saying things that I did not mean and was only saying because I was bored,' Pyro said quickly, trying to avoid having his pay cut or his smoking privileges revoked.
'I wasn't aware you had any sanity to begin with,' Lucifer said, too tired to try any harder.
Kaiden stopped moving as soon as he heard the voices. When he was sure that they hadn't realized he was there, he continued, as stealthily as possible. Considering that he was nine years old and had only ever lived on Coruscant, he did fairly well.
"Fairly well" for Kaiden consisted of only breaking one stick and only causing a small amount of dry leaves to crack per step.
Pyro frowned at the tree line, which had suddenly begun to make a lot of noise. He picked up his flamethrower and aimed it at the plant. Lucifer woke up and looked at Pyro.
'What are you doing?' He asked.
'I'm aiming my flamethrower at that big tree over there, because it keeps making noises,' Pyro said.
'It keeps swearing, too, in case you hadn't noticed, doing a very bad job of it, too.'
'Hey, whoever you are, come out, we know you're there,' Pyro yelled.
A young human slowly walked out of the bushes. As soon as he could see the flamethrower, he squeaked and ran back in.
'Should we go get him?' Pyro asked.
'Let him get stuck out in the floodwaters if he wants too,' Lucifer replied loudly, annoyed at having been woken yet again by Pyro's inability to capture a child.
The child ran back into the clearing and climbed half a tree before being knocked out by Pyro.
'How do you know there are going to be floodwaters?' Pyro asked.
'I don't, I was saying that to make him come back here,'
'What do we need him for?'
'He might send people after us if he makes it to a city or wherever he came from, we don't want that. He would be a good guide, that's two reasons, think of some more on your own.'
Pyro shrugged and tied the boy up. He decided to stand watch while the others were out. He didn't have much of a choice, really.
A/N: I don't really have anything to say, but it kinda looks boring to me if I don't put anything here, so, there is an A/N here. It doesn't say anything important, it's just here for the heck of it.
I'll update soon. I will not set a date, because I probably won't end up keeping it, but I WILL update. Promise.
