Petro was so badly tangled in Raven's net that he couldn't reach his lightsaber. He still had no idea what Raven was talking about looking for him for a long time, but he did know one thing and that was he was in real trouble and grave danger. The Corellian thought about his friends and how he was so mean to Katooni, but he was gripped with fear as Raven pulled a knife out.
A thunderstorm rolled in, and rain was coming down hard. The rain and thunder made the bounty hunter look more menacing and frighting. "I thought you Jedis were harder to sneak up on!" chuckled evilly cutting a mark on his right arm. "This will make me vary…" the sound of a sliding door caught Raven's attention.
"PETRO!" called Kattoni who came rushing toward the bounty hunter with Gungi right behind her.
Petro still unable to move noticed Raven reach for a blaster that was hidden under his vest. "Watch out! He's armed!" he shouted to the Tholothian and Wookiee.
Katooni and Gungi drew their lightsabers and stood in defense ready for Raven Claymore's attack. Katooni launcher herself through the air at the bounty hunter. Raven fired his blaster at the attacking Jedi, but she reflected his baster fire with her lightsaber. Another baster shot followed, then another, and the Tholothian joined by the Wookiee deflected his baster fire.
Gungi managed to get close enough to Raven and swung his lightsaber at the bounty hunter. Raven was to fast and avoided the attack with a jump.
"Nice try!" mocked Raven pulled out a gas grenade and threw it at Gungi.
The grenade stopped in mid-flight. Raven turned to see Petro free from the net with Ganodi and Zatt standing next to him with their lightsabers ignited. Petro then caused the grenade to crumple like a tin can by using the force, but the bounty hunter was not all afraid of the five Jedis.
"Block this, Jedi scum," snickered Raven as he threw five discuses at the Jedis.
The five Jedis used the force to stop the five discuses in mid-air. However, Ganodi felt a disturbance in the force. "Get down!" she warned in fear. The Rodian was right about the disturbance she felt the discuses exploded.
As they young Jedis struggled to get to their feet Raven had them all in his sights. He was just about to blast them with his blaster when all of a sudden, the little astromech droid that Zatt was working on knocked the bounty hunter off the walkway. He fell to the ground with a crash and was knock out.
The five friends gathered around the little droid. "Thank you for the help." said Katooni patting the droid on the head. The droid beeped happily.
The joy was cut short when Imperial soldiers began to show up, but things really looked bad because their ship was taking off early due to the storm. The five Jedis and their droid hurried back to the ship and climbed aboard just in time. However, they could not find Sinya anywhere, but they ran into one of the ship's service droids.
"What are you kids doing here?" peeped the droid with anger and surprise. "Let me see your passes or sit in the brig!" it beeped holding out it hand to the Jedis.
"Run for it!"
The five Jedis ran through the ship with the service droid hot on their heels. They ran into the first-class dining room. Petro then spotted Sinya sitting a table and the Jedis joined her. Twe'lek gave them an unhappy glare but did not say a word. She then looked at the service droid who was coming to take them away.
"They're with me!" grumbled Sinya feeling just miserable having the five Jedis with her.
The Corellian gave the Twe'lek a smile of gratitude. "Thanks for helping us with that service droid," he said placing his hand on her shoulder.
Sinya just swiped Petro's hand off her shoulder. "You're welcome!" she snapped not even giving him eye contact. "Just give me some time alone!" she ordered with a huff.
Katooni gave Sinya a mean look. "You were going to leave us behind!" she snapped. The young Tholothian just hated the Twe'lek because of all that happened. "I bet you also let that bounty hunter know about us. Because he didn't show up until after you left us!" yelled Katooni pointing an accusing finger at Sinya.
"Why you little space rat!" snared Sinya as she knocked Katooni's hand away. "You five were gone and I thought that the Imperial soldiers had taken you!" she stated with rage in her eye.
Petro stood between Katooni and Sinya trying to keep things from getting out of control. He took his friend to a cargo room because they had no room of their own. Zatt and Ganodi finished fixing and cleaning their little astromech droid. The little droid beeped happily as his new friends laughed with joy, but joy was not long because of Petro and Katooni's feud.
"Look, Katooni! I'm getting sick and tired of your attitude toward Sinya," said Petro trying to keep his cool. "She thought that those Imperial soldiers had captured or killed us because we saw them too after our fight with that bounty hunter." he explained placing a hand on the Tholothian should.
Katooni felt some of the anger leave, but she still didn't trust Sinya. "I'm sorry for my behavior, but I still don't trust her." she said calmly. "Just promise me, Petro, that you'll not get too close to her until we know for sure that we can trust her." she demanded gently.
The Corellian smiled and nodded in agreement with the Tholothian. They both turned to their friends who was standing next to the droid.
"What is the name of our little friend?"
Zatt looked at the astromech droid's number. "R3-V3," said the Nautolan with a smile.
Ganodi patted R3-V3 on the head. "We'll just call you RV for short." she explained as RV beeped happily. "Let us all meditate and train." said Katooni patting the Rodian on the back.
Meanwhile back on Coruscant Raven Claymore was confronted by Darth Vader and the bounty hunter could tell that his failure to catch the five Jedis was making The Dark Lord's anger burn. The storm was nothing compared to Vader's anger, but Raven knew how to get out of trouble. He just had to play his cards right.
"Look, Darth Vader," Raven began to explain. "I know I failed, but I know where that ship is going, and I have a helper on board with the young Jedis." he stated with a smile. Vader just looked at him menacingly. "Don't fail me again, bounty hunter!" he said as he turned and walked away.
Raven Claymore will not stop his hunt. Who is his helper on the ship with his pray? Will the young Jedis reach their destination?
