Chapter 3. A Bit Of Training and Rescuing Jenkins and The Library.
A few days later at around late morning, early afternoon, Lola walked up to Jenkins and Cassandra, who was standing close to him at his desk while he was reading something on how to use a lightsaber, but the book had nothing on lightsabers that both Jedi and the Sith use to defend themselves in combat. Starlight had taught Ezekiel, Eve and Jacob of how to use lightsabers in an empty room while Jenkins and Cassie watched them with amazement and astonishment. Lola had completed her Jedi traning while she was in both Dagobah with Yoda and Tatooine with Obi-wan Kenobi.
After the bit of training, everything went smoothly as it went. Eve went out with the other soldiers for their duties. Flynn, Cassandra, Jenkins, Ezekiel, Lola and Jacob looked at the screen and their eyes were wide as saucers when they saw Eve with the other soldiers at the Library entrance. Starlight told everyone to hide if anything happens. Instead, Jenkins did not want his library to get ransacked, so he took his sword and he went to the huge library hall to confront them when the soldiers arrived. Eve though that it would be best to protect them by doing this, but her friends called this torture. Eve felt bad that her leader had her comerades used Medusa's head to turn Jenkins into stone and they placed him on a table like with chains on it. All of the librarians and the Jedi saw the whole thing. These soldiers were armed and dangerous. Lola needed to do something and quick.
Cassandra and the rest of the librarians had just witnessed what had happened. Cassie covered her mouth with her hand when she had her welling up in her eyes. Starlight crouched next to her and she wrapped her arm around her friend in comfort until Cassandra calmed down after the soldiers had gotten half of the library's artifacts before they left. Starlight told Flynn to stay inside and let them know what was going on and he agreed to do so. Ezekiel, Cassie, Jake and Lola sneaked a way to get get outside without being seen, so they hid on the side of the library building. It's a very good thing that Starlight had her lightsabers on her waist belt and her Jedi protective gear safely in her pocket and her stealth device with her if anything happened.
Everything that was outside from the Annex, including Galahad, who was chained up. Eve had a device to get Jenkins back to normal. Both he and Baird had an argument. Eve said that she was protecting them in this situation. Lola saw that Galahad was angry with Eve when Starlight peeked around the corner to see. Baird felt bad doing this to them. And then, the soldiers placed Jenkins into a van sized truck with them to keep guard. Lola could handle them with no problem as she saw them put Galahad in. Before the armed soldiers drove off with their leader, the librarians were wondering what she was doing when Starlight took something out of her pocket and she gave it to Zeke. "Ezekiel, this is a com link. I will tell you all that it would be safe when I get Jenkins out of that vehicle. "She told them. Jake, Cassie and Zeke nodded in understanding. Lola told them what to do before they got into a nearby vehicle and she also told them to keep their distances before they all meet after Starlight rescues Galahad from the soldiers.
Starlight turned on her device and she ran as fast as she could before she Force jumped on top of the van truck as she was in stealth mode. Things were about ready to go into action. The 4 soldiers in the truck heard clearly while the driver drove further down the road when he looked up when they all heard the loud thud up on top. Jenkins was tied in chains as he also looked up and he knew it was the Jedi. Galahad didn't bother saying anything. "Hey, guys? What the hell was that above us?" 1 soldier officer asked as he stood guard in front of Jenkins. The other officers all thought that it was a dead big bird that fell off the tree from being electrocuted on a wire or something of it. So, they shrugged their shoulders and they dismissed it as they drove off down the road.
Lola Marek was in stealth mode and on top of the vehicle and she had a good idea the armored truck in front of the van truck of getting Jenkins out. The Jedi placed her hands on each side of the vehicle and she closed her eyes in concentration. She felt the Force flowing through her when she had the power of lightning streaming coming out of her hands towards the tires and the engines of the vehicle. The lightning from her hands feeds on the car battery while it lowers rapidly and it also then popped the tires along with it. The driver and passenger saw the whole thing when it all happened.
They pulled over to the side of the road to go check it out themselves while the others went ahead. they thought that Galahad was no value to their facilities. Only the archives and the artifacts from the library that they needed. 1 officer was guarding Jenkins and the other 4 climbed out of the vehicle to check the beyond total damage. Lola pressed the button on her device to unstealth herself before she hopped down from the van. The other soldiers were too focused on getting the truck fixed. The driver side window was opened. Starlight heard the Knight. "I demand to be release here at once this instant, sir." Jenkins growled at him.
The soldier glared at the Immortal. "Shut up you old man or I'll stuff a sock in it to keep you quiet." 1 Soldier retorted. Lola has had enough as she looked at him when she took her lightsabers aimed towards the steering wheel and the ignition to start the vehicle. Starlight made sure that the soldiers were going nowhere. She ignited her lightsabers to destroy both the ignition and the steering wheel. "Hey! What do you think you're doing?!" The 1 soldier shouted at her before he bolted outside with the other 3 officers, leaving Jenkins in the van, who scoffed at the man and he still demanded his released. The 4 officers were looking for her. That was a diversion to get them out of the vehicle for Starlight to rescue Galahad.
Lola took her metal device out of her pocket and she pressed the button to cover her body with the Jedi protective gear. After she covered herself with all bullet proof metal. Jenkins turned his head and he saw her covered up in all that. He was astounded and amazed at this as he looked on. Starlight turned off her weapons when she jumped for a few moments. She then Force jumped high in the air as she leaped over the truck van. She landed expertly on the ground right behind the 4 officers. She then ignited her lightsabers once again. The 4 soldiers heard her behind them when they turned around and they saw her. Their eyes widened as saucers when they saw what they call a laser sword in her hands.
Starlight then reached her hand out as she used Force grip to grab their guns. They were flown out of their hands towards her. All of their weapons were chopped in half by her lightsabers. They now know not to mess with Jedi. The 4 soldiers fear the fearful of a Jedi Knight. They all bolted down the road. 1 tried to get away. She turned off her lightsabers before Lola lifted her hand when she used Force grip 1 soldier to get him placed in front of her. The man was shaken to the core as he was flown in front of her as he tried to struggle against her, but her Force powers stills him. Starlight would interrogate him in her way when they get back to the library.
Lola pressed the button and her Jedi protective gear turned into a small metal box once again. Galahad was very impressed with her skills, abilities and talents as a Jedi Knight. She held onto the officer tightly still and she lifted her other hand to get the chains to release Jenkins broke free from the confines of the chains. Jenkins never liked to be locked up like that. Not ever again and he would deal with Eve later when he sees her again. Galahad quickly climbed out of the vehicle and he stood right next to Lola, who was still had the hold on the soldier. "I thank you for getting me out of there, madam Starlight." Jenkins told her as he patted her back of a job well done before he took a tight hold onto the officer with Lola on the other.
Starlight looked up at him and she gave him a small smile. "You are very welcome, Jenkins." Lola said. "And now we need to get back to the library to interrogate this soldier here." She pointed to the officer before she took out her com link from her waist belt where her lightsabers were at. "Alright, Ezekiel, you all can come out now. It is all clear here except this 1 soldier, who would be interrogated when we get back." She told them over her com link and they understood her very clearly.
Just then, both Jenkins and Lola watched as the 3 librarians walked out of the woods of the trees. Jacob, Zeke and Cassandra, who was running over towards Galahad. "Jenkins!" Cassie yelled out to him as she ran up to her love.
Galahad looked at her with relief as he sighed. He was very happy that she was alright. "Cassandra, my love!" He yelled as Cassie leaped into the Immortal's arms as they held each other tight before he captured her lips to his in a bruising kiss. Cassie was worried about him, but as of right now, Jenkins was alright and well. Jacob and Ezekiel saw the 2 love birds together and kissing in front of them with their mouths dropped to the floor. Lola smiled at this. She knew that both Galahad and Cassandra love each other very much.
The officer that Lola had a hold on rolled his eyes at this. Starlight and the other turned to look at the soldier with the glares. Jenkins held Cassie's hand in his as she rested her head on his shoulder. The officer blushed a deep red in embarrassment before they all started headed back to the library. They knew that Flynn was back at the Annex. They all hoped that the library would not be destroyed or worse.
