Chapter 4
"You see," the leader, Krishk, spoke again, "my 'Freedom Fighters' and I have taken it upon ourselves to eliminate all Republic threat on Naboo. We favor the pleasures that the Separatists can offer. So when we saw your ship land we thought that we could convince you to help us and join our cause." His company drew their blasters and took aim as he continued his deranged monologue. "But when you revealed yourselves to be Jedi, we couldn't take any chances, so here we are. You two are now at the mercy of the 'Freedom Fighters'." Kirshk belched out an evil laugh as to frighten us.
I looked a look at my master and he began to speak. "I don't think so my ignorant Separatist." With that he force pushed the men as I drew my lightsaber and cut the blasters as they hung in the air. My master took his saber from his belt and powered it up, its long, intense, yellow blade humming with intimidation. As one of the aggressors flipped a switch on a com unit a squadron of battle droids busted through the doors and opened fire upon us. In a split second I threw down a smoke pellet from my pocket and Master Ch'uik and I jumped towards the ceiling. The droids didn't notice and kept shooting at the heap of empty smoke. "Shall we jump on three, Master?" I asked anxiously, Master Ch'uik nodded and counted out in a hushed tone, "One…two…three!" We hurled ourselves at the droids and slashed our way through them at ten at a time. They desperately begged for mercy or just uttered a meek, "Roger, roger!" We dispatched them all in about twenty minutes, not bad for a squadron a hundred battle droids.
My master and I repealed our lightsaber blades simultaneously and he spoke to Kirshk and his men, whom of which were all gathered into a corner, looking quite frightened. "Now," Master Ch'uik said, "where were we? Oh right, your surrender." My master and I marched the men outside where a small Republic carrier was ready to carry them away. As I watched the criminals get loaded into the carrier, my master was making a call to Masters Yoda and Windu. "There was small group, but there might be more," said my master.
Yoda and Windu looked at each other. Then Master Windu spoke up, "It would be best to stay on Naboo. There could be more of these terrorist groups about, not to mention the Separatists."Yoda made his usual grunt of wisdom, "The mission to Endor, wait it can. If a conflict on a fellow planet there is, stay and protect it you must. Good for your padawan, this experience could be."
"Alright," my master said, "I'll stay here and take care of any threat to the Republic and the Naboos, Ch'uik out." He the closed his com unit and walked over to me. "So," I began, "are we to continue our mission to Endor, master?" He shook his head as I looked down, "Afraid not, Sodim, we must purge the rebel and Separatist forces from Naboo. But don't fret, we'll be back on track in no time at all." I could hear the confidence in his voice, like he was looking forward to this mission. I could only feel a wave of calm over me. At least this assignment will give me time to tell my master of my dreams and my fears.
