Chapter 12- The 'Virus'
Ok seriously why are these chapters short? This and chapter 10 when writing I remember where pages! Now they are less then 500 word... I really hope longer chapters pick up soon.
Ahsoka kept deflecting blasts with the other three Jedi. She began to sense a presence but before she could figure out who's it was gone. She looked around before she felt pain rush through her. She heard a mumbling, "It's not possible…" Moments later she heard someone give a quiet yell in pain. She turned to see it was one of the Padawan.
"We need to get out of here!"
Ahsoka looked at the Padawan that had screamed, the human, Vertia. Vertia began backing away from her friend. Aria followed, seeming to want to corner her.
"We may have more than one problem!" Vertia yelled.
Ahsoka kept looking at them, trying to figure out what was going on until instinct kicked in. Aria had run at Vertia with her lightsaber, ready to attack. Ahsoka ran at both and ignited her lightsaber to deflect the attack. Aria looked at Ahsoka, rage burning in her eye. Ahsoka stared at Aria noticing something off, the gaze was broken before she could figure out what. Aria stepped back ready for another attack. Ahsoka got into a full defense position.
"The virus…" Vertia mumbled.
Aria ran at Ashoka again and the lightsabers clashed. By now both the clones and the rebels were watching. Ahsoka only half noticed Kanan shifting himself so he could help if needed. Aria growled as her attack was deflected again. Ahsoka pushed her back. Aria attempted to attack once more but found herself frozen in place. Kanan kept his hand out, partially clenched, as he came forward. Behind him the rebels and clones continued the fight they had been having. Ahsoka looked at Aria, just now noticing her eyes, amber, the color of the Sith. Once more the blaster fire stopped, this time followed by footsteps.
Sabine reached them first but walked straight over to Vertia, "What virus? Real or Artificial?"
Vertia looked at the Mandolorian confused before answering, "Artificial, from the empire…"
Sabine turned and looked at Aria, "The virus, as in effecting all none humans?"
"Yeah… A few years ago she was hit with a stun containing it, she had had these outbursts ever since…"
"And how do we knock her out of it?" Zeb asked waving his hand in front of her face. She growled at him, not able to do much more.
"Her will has to overcome it," Sabine answered.
Aria's eyes snapped shut and she seemed to flinch, even with Kanan holding her still.
"Let her go!" Vertia's yell startled everyone, causing Kanan to accidently let the Twi'lek go.
Aria opened her eyes and looked kind of tired, though she seemed normal.
"Virus again?" She asked rubbing her head.
"Well you starting to get more aware of when it's active," Vertia said with a slight hint of laughter.
"As if," Aria replied, not seeming to have caught the joke part.
I made you think there was another death didn't I? Don't worry that isn't for... 5 chapters? Don't quote me on that. Though Complete Fall and Again We Meet should be longer chapters. They are the 2nd and maybe 3rd chapters going up tomorrow.
