Hey everyone here is the last chapter for today. It looks like things are about to get real interesting. Will Adam find Ahsoka? Let's find out. Disney owns Star Wars while I own my OCs.
Chapter 21: The Forgotten Padawan
Jungle (Adam's POV)
As I searched through the jungles for Ahsoka, I started to here voices coming from the bushes. I looked and saw that there were three Trandosans that were being helped by other Trandoshans. I listened closely and heard one of them say, "I can't believe you let that one jedi get the jump on you."
"It also happened so fast." The injured lizard said, "I think she also took a key to remove her collar."
"Don't worry." One of them said. "We'll find that Togruta."
"That's all I needed to hear." I said as I walked towards them. Unnoticed by the lizard men, I shouted, "Hey!" As the lizards looked at me, I activated my saber and started to cut down the Trandoshans. Before they could raise their guns I sliced their hands off and began to beat the crap out of them with my bear hands.
However I didn't do anything to the injured Trandoshan, because I wanted to find out what he knew about Ahsoka. After I killed all the lizards I then heard the injured Trandoshan call out for help. I turned my attention to the Trandoshan calling for help and used a device that I got from Fixer that uses two grappling hooks that go in two opposite directions. I attached one end of the grappling hooks to the lizard's feet and the other end to a tree branch that was forty feet high. As soon as the grappling hook grabbed the tree branch the Trandoshan was sent flying forty feet above the ground, screaming. After the lizards was hanging, I climbed up to the lizard and grabbed his head. "WHERE'S THE TOGRUTA JEDI YOU CAPTURED?!" I yelled at him.
"I don't know anything about a Togruta girl!" The lizard panicked.
"DON'T LIE TO ME!" I said as I pressed a button on the device which allowed the lizard to fall forty feet. Before he hit the ground I pressed the button again to pull the Trandoshan back up to me.
"Okay okay we kidnapped a young Togruta jedi not to long ago." He said to me while he was panicking.
"WHERE IS SHE?!" I asked him.
"I don't know!" He pleaded.
"THEN YOU ARE OF NO USE ME!" I said to him.
"Wait… NO!" He screamed as I deactivated the grappling hooks and let him fall to his death. After I came down the tree I began to walk through the jungles to search for Ahsoka.
As I was walking I remembered something and said to Zeta, "Zeta I need you to pull up a map of the area and activate Ahsoka's tracking device."
"Yes sir." She said to me as she pulled up a map of the jungle and activated Ahsoka's tracking device. "It looks like she's about north east from here."
"Good. Now let's get going." I said to her as I started to walk through the jungle to find Ahsoka. After walking through the jungle for a few hours Zeta detected something on the radar.
"Adam, I'm picking up an enemy speeder coming buy!" She said.
"How close?" I asked and then all of the sudden a laser bolt flew across my face.
"That close!" She said as I turned around to see a speeder filled with about six heavily armed Trandoshans. Before I could throw a grenade at them I was in the right shoulder by one of the bullets. After I was shot, I got up and started to run away from the speeder, because I couldn't take them all by my self. As I ran through the jungles I ran into a rock wall and was cornered by the Trandoshans. When I realized that I had to fight my way out of this mess, the lizards raised their guns at me until they were hit in the face by arrows. I looked around to see where they came from and saw young man who looked like he was fifteen with mud covering his entire body, come swinging out of the trees.
He ran up to me and said, "Come with me. More will come." I looked at him and nodded as the two of us escaped the area and ran off deeper into the jungle.
(Ahsoka's POV)
After me and Kalifa had walked through the jungle for hours, we had finally reached a tall tree that looked like it was hollow in the inside because I could see a fire inside the tree. As we walked inside the tree Kalifa and I saw a Twi'lek boy who was about my age and a Cerean boy who looked a year younger than. "Kalifa!" The two said as they came over to Kalifa and hugged her.
"We're so glad that you came back." The Twi'lek boy said.
"Who's your friend?" The Cerean boy asked.
She walked towards me and said, "Guys I want you to meet Ahsoka." She then pointed at the Twi'lek and said, "Ahsoka I want you to meet Jinx." And then she pointed at the Cerean. "And O-Mer."
"Nice to meet you guys." I said to them.
Jinx looked at Kalifa and asked, "Where did you find her?"
"I found her few miles south west of here." She said to them.
I then spoke up. "Do you guy know how to get out of this place?" After I said that the three of them looked at me with a confused look.
"Get out?" O-Mer said. "There's no way we can get out of here alive."
"We tried getting off of the game preserve with a larger group before and everyone was slaughtered. Except for the three of us." Jinx.
"So what do we do?" I asked them.
"We keep our heads down and hide." Kalifa said. "If we stay hidden they won't be able to find us."
"What about your friends and masters?" I asked them. "I'm pretty sure that they're looking for you guys."
"We've been here for almost three months." Kalifa said. "I'm sure that they think we're dead now." I couldn't believe that these padawans have been here for almost three months and no one has bothered to search for them.
"So you guys spent your entire time here, hiding in the trees while those lizards have killed innocent people." I said to them. "If you guys like hiding so much, why did you save me?"
Kalifa looked at me and said, "I saved you because you were creating so much noise that would have attracted every hunter from miles away."
Jinx looked at me and said, "If I were you I would listen to her. She's kept us alive for almost two years."
"She's kept you guys isolated for three months." I said to them. "I don't know about you guys, but tomorrow I'm getting out of here."
"How?" O-Mer asked.
"The way I see it is that these hunters need speeders to get around the jungles quickly." I said to them. "If I can get my hands on one of their speeders, I'll be able to find out where their base is." I said to them as I looked outside the tree and into the night sky.
(Adam's POV)
After the mysterious boy rescued me, the two of us ran through the jungles until we found a cave. As the two of us entered the cave the boy pulled a large branch with leaves to cover the entrance of the cave. As we settled down inside the cave the two of us set up a fire to keep us warm as night began to fall. While we were warming up I looked at the boy who was removing the mud off his body and said, "Thanks for saving me back there. If it weren't for you I would have been dead."
"Your welcome." He said as he finished removing the mud off him and I saw that he was a human with white skin with long brown hair and also had brown eyes.
"So who do I owe the pleasure of thanking?" I asked him.
"How about you remove your helmet and tell me your name." He said to me. I removed my helmet and showed him my face.
"My name is Razor." I said to him as I set my helmet aside.
"Is that your real name?" He said with a smirk on his face.
"Razor is what the jedi and clones call me when I'm on duty." I said to him. "My real name is Adam Amor."
"It's nice to meet you Adam Amor." He said to me as he extended his hand out to me. "I'm Jason. Jason Nightrunner."
"Well Jason Knightrunner." I said to him. "Based on what I saw when you killed those lizards with that bow of yours. I'm guessing you've been here for a while."
"One year and two months to be exact. Before I came here I was a padawan at the Jedi Temple." He said to me. After he said that he's been here for more than a year, I was surprised to see that he has survived on this game preserve for a while. He then looked at asked, "What about you? How long have you been here?"
"I just arrived." I said to him.
"Did they capture you like the rest?" He asked.
"Actually I volunteered to come here." I said.
He looked at me with a look of confusion. "What?! Why would you come to a place like this?!"
"Because they took someone very close to me." I said to him. "And I plan on finding her and kill every lizard that comes my way."
"Is she your girlfriend?" He asked.
"Yeah." I said to him. "Tomorrow I'm gonna find her and get her out of here."
"You have a ship?" He asked.
"Yeah." I said to him. "You're welcome to join me tomorrow."
"You're really gonna kill them?" He asked me. "It doesn't seem the jedi way."
"I'm not a jedi." I said. "I'm just a normal guy who wants to make sure that these monsters never take anyone again." I then noticed that Jason had a look on his face that showed that he lost people he cared about. "So Jason Knightrunner do you want to help me find my friend and the Trandoshans responsible?"
He took a long pause, looked at me and said, "You can count me in."
Well everyone that is it for today. Come back tomorrow for the final four chapters of Fallen Brothers.
