My head was going round and round in the Escape Pod, my vision blurry, I felt I was gonna black out, until I heard an explosion behind me which snapped me right out of it. My body was battered by the crash, I kicked the Pod door several times and it eventually broke off it's hinges. I crawled out and managed to stand, looking over the smashed up Escape Pod and saw the wreckage of a fallen Arc Fighter, t's engines alight. The Arc Fighter's cockpit was fogged, but I scarcely could see through, but I did notice movement. I walked over to the Fighter and opened the cockpit. A Clone Pilot was sat weary in the seat. I picked him up using the Force and flung him on the floor, his body skidding across the ground. The Pilot attempted to get up, but I Force pushed him back down.
'What is this?' I demanded.
'What is what?' The Pilot asked.
'Why are the Clone Troopers betraying the Jedi?' I commanded.
'Why should I tell you?' The Pilot began. 'I'm dead anyway.'
I picked him up using the Force and ignited my lightsaber.
'Ok! Ok! I'll- tell you!' The Pilot pleaded with a struggle. 'Lord Sidious recruited Count Dooku to his cause, then told him to kill- Jedi Master Syfo-Dyas, then- to implant an programming into the scheduled Clone Troopers, so, when the time was right, they would turn on their Jedi Generals- then he appointed himself to become Republic- Republic- Chancellor of the Galactic Senate, he then declared war on the Separatists, while Dooku was commandeering the Separatists, so the Jedi would need the Clone Troopers, they couldn't- reject them. Now- the time- is- is right.'
At his words I looked downwards, at my feet, the Jedi had been played, a chess piece in Palpatine strategy, a pawn in his plan for supremacy. I felt awful. I deactivated my lightsaber, and looked up, the Pilot was holding on to life, desperately keeping himself from falling to his injuries. It wasn't the Jedi way, I wasn't going to turn my back on my upbringing. I decided to put leave him, I then walked away, but something didn't feel right, I heard a gun click, and deflected the Pilot's shot without looking, bending my arm behind my back and pointing the lightsaber downwards. I'd turned round to see the Pilot, with one hand clutching his stomach, a blaster wound could be seen there, and the other with a gun raised. The Pilot's body suddenly becoming limp, the gun dropping to the floor, and the hand pressuring the wound slipped off the corpse's torso onto the ground. I walked away from the wreckages, into the sprawling Felucian forests, trees bigger than star cruisers, and mushrooms wider than the Jedi Temple, I'm not exaggerating, they literally were. In the forests I didn't see any wildlife at all, apart from plants, and I needed food, I couldn't spot any berries or fruit of any sort, now I wish I got some fruit from Parken's store, but then I remembered that he'd been robbed, assaulted, even. I needed food, I'd hadn't eaten for about a several days, because I'd been caught up in tonnes of work and filing to do, then Anakin told me about Palpatine being a Sith Lord, and, you know the rest. I ended up climbing up to one of the trees, not a gigantic tree, about the size of your normal tree, and leapt from tree to tree looking for food.
Soon after, I approached a cliff-face, and I began to look for a way to avoid this obstacle, I even considered climbing up to Felucia's natural plant level to get over it, but once up there I make one mistake and I'm dead. I searched the surface, this was even bigger than those massive cliffs on Teth. I managed to find a sort of cave mouth on the cliff face, but it was protected by a turquoise, blobby substance, I attempted to cut through it with my lightsaber, but the blob sort of healed itself, the hole I'd cut almost instantly replacing itself. I stared at this substance, generally vexed by what solution I had to use to get through. Finally, I'd decided to Force push my way through, the blob shook violently, but didn't break or dissolve. I decided to build up my energy for five seconds before unleashing it on the substance, which kind of dissolved into slithery particles surrounding itself around the cave mouth. I walked through the cave passage which had this eerie green glow inside, with algae, moss and vines shaping themselves into stalactites on the passage roof. I'd been walking for twenty minutes now, my stomach raging like an earthquake, I now started to feel ill by hunger. I came across one of those blob things again, and racked my brain for what I did last time, my brain wasn't working properly, I was that hungry. I eventually remembered what I did, and Force pushed the blobby thing, which imploded once again. And I was free, the tunnel had ended, I felt air spreading across my face, and rain continuously bashing on my head, oh, that felt nice. I felt mildly affected by the fact I was in the middle of one of those Felucian raging storms, but I was so hungry, and started to feel choked by the deprivation of fresh in the tunnels. Lightning crashed twenty five meters in front of me, causing a fire in the thick Felucian bush. I realised I was in a small clear space surrounded by Felucian forest, where the fire was spreading. I could hear, through the buzzing in my head, heavy footsteps.
*thud*
*thud*
*thud*
The footsteps coupled with the sound of trees being pushed out of the way and being disjointed. A huge, ugly head poked out from the forest into the clear space, really high in the trees, followed by arms, a torso, and legs. I was shook back into full consciousness when I recognised the look of the beast.
A Rancor.
The beast roared at his discovery, food! It approached me and attempted to crush me with it's fist, I jumped out of the way, this action seemed to enrage the beast even more, as it lunged in, head first, I took this opportunity to jump onto the Rancor's head, and I had to struggle to keep balance as the beast started to shake it's head in order to get me off of it, this caused me to drop my lightsaber as consolation for it. It roared again, and swung it's bulky arms in my direction, I had to duck and dive to dodge them. One of which I ducked, then straightening up again, I got smacked in the face by another hand, and I fell onto the ground. The Rancor quickly grabbed me and held it's hand high up above it's head, and looked up at me, opening it's mouth, ready for it's Supper, it dropped me in...
I thought I was a goner, but I managed to hold myself just above it's mouth, my hands holding on to it's upper lips, my feet using it's lower lip as a foothold. The Rancor shook it's head crazily, and my feet slipped into it's mouth. The Rancor's teeth tried to slam shut, but I used the Force to keep them open, with difficulty, and pulled my legs out, and let the teeth bite thin air, I used the teeth to propel myself with my legs away from the beast, then I, using the Force, picked up a gigantic boulder and throwing it at the Rancor's face, this made it even more angry! The beast roared in lividness, and attempted to squish to squish me with his foot, I used one hand to stop the foot crushing me, as it was inches away from my outstretched hand, and the other to pull my lightsaber, which was a about ten meters away, towards me. With quick reflexes, I let the foot drop , I sliced at the bottom of it with my lightsaber and rolled out of the way. The beast screeched in pain, and it steeled itself to attack again, as his arm stretched out I leapt on to it, I cut off the Rancor's hand and backflipped onto the back of it's neck. I stabbed my blade into into it and let gravity pull me and my weapon down, disintegrating the Rancor's spine. Now it was paralysed I leapt onto it's head and stabbed the sword down, putting the Rancor to rest. I used the spreading fire as a sort of barbecue for the Rancor, as I cut of two of it's fingertips, surely that would suffice? The cooked Rancor's fingertip tasted excellent, as I'm sure anything else would if you'd been deprived of food for more than a week. After that succulent meal I decided to rest for the night, I made a campfire near me and kept my lightsaber by my side, ready to use if something thought they could get a quick snack, but I would know if anything approached I'm a Jedi! I positioned myself to rest my head against a mound of Felucian bush for a pillow against the rock hard trees. It didn't take long for my eyes to droop, my head to tilt, and finally some sleep.
