The Dragon Knight

Chapter 3

After leaving Boba, I raced outside before transforming into the dragon form I was using before. I took to the sky and studied the ground. There. I could see a group of the armored soldiers pinned down, droids marching towards them. I folded my wings and dove towards the ground. Although I didn't really trust this army; between its sudden appearance and the timing of it all, I wasn't going to let them die. I snapped my wings at the last second landing right in front of the droid army. "It's a dragon!" Said one, "What do we do- ahhh!!" The question was abruptly cut off by me swatting it into the air and beginning my rampage.

They tried to shoot me, but the lasers just bounced off my tough scales. Soon all the droids were destroyed. The clones cheered. I walked back over to them and bent over, gesturing with my tail impatiently to tell them to get on. They did so, cautiously. When I took to the air. One of them pointed at the battle field. "Our brothers are losing there!" One of the soldiers closest to my head tapped on my neck and pointed at the ground. "Can you take us down there?" In response I nodded and descended, albeit a bit slower so nobody fell off.

When I landed the troopers slid off and I went off to squash some more droids. This continued for a while, but when the battle finally ended, a trooper, with blue jaig eyes on his helmet, came up to me. "Could you take me to the Jedi? We must speak to them." I could practically hear the grin in his next words. "I heard that you've been having some fun with the clankers." I gave them a dragonish grin and snorted before allowing them to climb on.

When I found the Jedi, I saw that they were mostly grouped together. The young man woman from earlier, Padmé if I remembered right, was there too. They seemed sort of startled when I landed at the edge of their little group. Some turned on their lightsabers, but they relaxed when they saw it was me. I lowered a wing and the trooper used it as a slide to get down.

A serious looking dark-skinned human Jedi stepped forward. "Why are you here?" He spoke to the trooper. The trooper saluted him. "The droids have been destroyed, with a little help from her." He gestured to me as rested, flicking my tail back and forth as a watched them.

Padmé approached me. The Padawan tried to stop her. "She could be dangerous." She rolled her eyes "Of course she's dangerous. She destroyed all those droids apparently. But she also saved my life and yours. I think I'll be fine." She smiled at me and I lowered my head and nudged her gently, searching for wounds. "I'm fine. Could you turn to your human form? The one from earlier?" I nodded and stepped back before closing my eyes and turning into my human form. I wobbled for a second. "Woah! I always forget how off balance I am in this form." I steady myself. I look at them. "So. How ya doing?"
