Because I've gotten ahead on this story once again, I'm going to be uploading on Monday and Friday for the next few weeks :D
Rowan was practicing some forms in the Temple's gardens when Naare joined him. "Rowan, Becky has been pardoned and needs some place to stay. Normally we would send her to the Skywalker's but what with Padmé just becoming Chancellor, we don't really want to dump her on them. Do you think your family would be willing to take her in?"
"I'm sure they would. Are we going to take her there now?" Rowan asked excitedly. "Well technically you aren't supposed to go there, but if they do see you leaving with me, I'll tell them I'm having you wait a block away from their home. They won't bother checking, not with everything that is going on." "What else is happening Master?" Rowan questioned as they walked to where Becky was waiting for them.
"Well as soon as we drop Becky off we are heading straight for the space port. Luke Skywalker has reported that the Dark Forces are on Tatooine and according to a large number of defectors, he is down to just one ships worth of an army, having had his own forces destroy the others. They are being held, like Becky was until they can either be pardoned or suitable punishments decided for them. Anyways, we are hoping to end this once and for all so all available Jedi are being sent there, minus a few that will be held back in case it turns out to be a trick or if someone else needs us during that time. But you and I are some of the ones who will be heading out."
"Yippee!" Rowan shouted, he was eager to get a run at Maul for what he did to Petna. The trio quickly made their way to the Freemaker house where, upon knocking, they were all invited warmly in. Naare informed Kordi and Zander of why Becky was with them and Kordi immediately said "Of course she can stay here." "Thank you Freemakers." Becky said with a soft smile. "We hate to bring an unexpected guest and just leave, but Rowan and I must make haste to the spaceport." Naare said. "Oh where are you going this time?"
"To Tatooine. We might actually be beating the Dark Forces for good this time!" Rowan exclaimed. "Really?! That's great little brother!" Zander said. "Be careful Rowan, Naare. Something tells me if that you might be beating them for good that there is a high chance of Maul being there. I know what happened to Petna, and though I don't know her, I was sad to hear about her death. I would be devastated if anything happened to either of you, after all your my brother Rowan and you feel like the sister I never had Naare."
"Thank you for your concern, Kordi." Naare replied warmly, "While I can't promise that nothing will happen to either of us, it makes me feel good that you have included me in your family." A group hug was had by all, Becky and Roger included, before with final goodbyes and warnings to be careful, the two Jedi left. Kordi waited until they were out of sight before falling against Zander's shoulder and softly crying, fear for her brother's life overwhelming her.

Han Solo happened to be on Coruscant and since he was well known by the Jedi, Naare asked him to take them to Tatooine. He readily agreed and prepared the Falcon for take-off. A few more Jedi, Obi-Wan and Yoda included, joined them onboard before the ship lifted into the air, heading off to Tatooine and, hopefully, the end of this long nightmare of a war.
As I mentioned in the last chapter, I got totally inspired by those Lego shorts with Roger, especially the one with Moxie in it, so I knew I had to get Becky over to the Freemakers and thus, this chapter came to be! Super excited to be in the final stages of this story I started in 2016. I have a sort of an idea how to continue it with the new movies, but I need to know a bit more of the characters, so don't be expecting another sequel to this one just yet, but know I do want to come back to this someday.
Guest – Thanks for the suggestion, I'll consider it.
