Chapter 5: The Next Move

Dalit and Asajj were on the move, the tracking device Dalit had placed on Flan was moving, and where Flan went, they had to follow.

Phoebe sat, on the vessel, as it traveled through hyperspeed, meditating. Her legs were crossed, her eyes closed, and she was in DEEP medtating.

Then, suddenly she was HIT with a premonition. =Green and red lasers were pelting the vessel. It rocked back and forth and Taris was still in the distance. Phoebe heard Padme' scream and the ship rocked. There was a loud thud and the ship fell into a nose dive towards Taris.=

Phoebe gasped as the premonition ended and she found Flan looking at her weirdly.

"I just had a premonition!" She unbuckled herself and made a run for the cockpit.

"Phoebe??" called Flan, confused.

"Padme', we're going to get attacked!" she yelled.

Padme' looked over her shoulder, her braided hair falling over her shoulder. "WHAT!!? BY WHO?"

Phoebe shook her head. "I'm not sure, I just had a premonition and we were getting pounded."

Padme' swore under her breath. "Get back in your seat! We're almost to Taris!"

Phoebe headed back to her seat and felt the ship jerk. She looked at Flan.

"We just came out of hyper space," he told her.

Phoebe looked at him…then, it hit her. "YOU!"

Flan cocked his head. "Me what??"

"You're the reason we're gonna get attacked!!" Phoebe unbuckled and rose to her feet. "Flan!! What is it about you?? Why are you being… hunted??"

"What's going on back there??" Padme' yelled from the cockpit.

Phoebe marched up to the cockpit and Flan followed her.

"They're chasing Flan," Phoebe told Padme'.

"What?" asked Padme'. She placed the ship on autopilot and stood up.

"The warlock in the library, my premonitions, it all makes sense…They're after Flan."

Padme' looked at Flan, surprised.

"Flan," called Phoebe, "what is it about you that has them chasing you?"

Flan just looked at them. He didn't say anything.

"Flan," Padme' said, placing a hand on his shoulder. "You can tell us…."

Flan looked into Padme's eyes. "I'm carrying the plans for their next big weapon."

"Weapon of WHO??" asked Phoebe.

"The Sith…" Flan told them. "I have the plans to their next ultimate weapon…and they KNOW I have it…"

Padme' put a hand to her head. "Oh my God."

"What's the weapon?" asked Phoebe.

Flan took a deep breath. "Something called The Death Star."

"Tell us everything," Padme' told him.

Flan nodded. "It was on my last mission, the last mission the council sent me on. It was my mission to destroy the Sith's mainframe of Del'Parso."

"WHAT?!?! Why would they send a Jedi Knight to do something like that!?!!" asked Padme'.

Flan ignored her and continued. "It was during that mission that I discovered that they were building a new, powerful weapon. And as I erased the mainframe, I copied the plans for the weapon."

"And let me guess," said Phoebe, "they know you copied the plans?"

Flan nodded.

Padme' sighed, overwhelmed. "We're dead." She looked at Flan. "Why didn't Master Windu inform me of this when he assigned you to this team?"

Flan looked guilty. "Because Master Windu doesn't know that I stole the plans."

Before anybody could respond, the ship was hit with the first of many missiles.

Padme' flew down the corridor and slammed into the cockpit wall. "Here we go!!" She pulled herself together and climbed into the cockpit.

Phoebe buckled herself in and glared at Flan. He looked so guilty. She shook her head and the ship rocked once again.

"We're taking to many hits!" Padme' yelled from the cockpit. The ship began to spin. "We're dead!!" she screamed as the ship began a downwards spiral to Taris.
