Bond Beyond Break

Chapter 3: Found Alive

Please Enjoy. Check out Freya's POV The_Rando_Mando_23 (So I wrote this top part before Rando Mando left... would y'all want me to continue Freya's part? Should I continue Orla's? Rando Mando said she wanted me to finish it out at least on Orla's side, she said nothing of Freya's... but what are y'all's thoughts?) However, maybe Rando Mando is back? I don't know. Either way, enjoy.

Orla's POV

Freya... Freya...

I sense my sister...and Ahsoka...

Wolffe said Ahsoka was coming... maybe Freya is with her. Why are they out here? The ship is still looming, they could get hurt! Yet, I feel at ease as well by the hope that they are here. Either that or my life force is reaching out in a goodbye or a call for help in one last attempt.

I blink my eyes open as I feel a jerk bringing me back to consciousness in the land of the living. The pod is moving. I look at Wolffe and attempt to sit up, with great difficulty. Wolffe assists me in sitting up as we use each other for support to try and stand. The pod jostles again and seems to harshly drop down onto something, making our progress be in vain. We finally succeed in standing without falling and we support each other as we hear muffled talking outside the pod.

The viewport is flung off and we cough as our lungs strive for the air that enters through the opening. We stumble as we climb out in a stagger using each other to not fall, as we violently continue the coughing fits.

Freya rushes to my side with sisterly concern and supported me as I hacked my lungs up. She has an almost motherly aura about her as if I had just faced death--which I had, "Orla! Thank the force you're alright! I thought," Freya hesitated. "I thought you were gone."

As shaken as I was, I needed to lighten the mood, like any good Padawan/sister. I look up at Freya and smile as I am slightly struggling in recovering from coughing. Using Freya's support we make our way over to Master Plo. "It'll take a lot more than a few clankers to kill me off. Plus I bet the boys can tell you that I'm a little too stubborn to die." Taking a shaky breath with a pause glancing around for a moment, no one is looking, they are tending to Wolffe, Sinker, Boost, and Plo. I look back to Freya and utter out, with a smaller and more affectionate tone, "and I wanted to be able to see you again..."

It was true. I wanted to see her, Ahsoka, and the boys again.

My sister takes a ragged and shaken breath as she replies, "Me too Orla."

Those words give me some relief. I haven't annoyed her to death or made her so mad where she doesn't want me anymore. I have someone who wants me to come back. I have family now. Well, biological family.

We finally make it to master Plo and I just near collapse next to him. Hugging the man, who has been my adoptive dad, as any scared daughter would hug her father. He wraps his arm around me gently and strokes my hair in a calming rhythmic manner. I soon find the ability to stop crying but still choose to stay curled up next to Plo, shaken and afraid.

Freya sounds like she is holding back tears and possibly a sob. "You're safe now," she softly says to both us as we sit there. "I'm just glad we found you in time." 

Trust me, I am glad too. I am glad too.

I slowly gain the courage to look up at them, "was...was there anyone else...?"

Freya inhales sharply. "No. There was no one else." Freya looks down, avoiding my eyes.

I feel my eyes brim with tears again as I stand up and practically fall into my sister's arms hugging her for dear life, quietly crying. I'm not sure if Anakin, Ahsoka, Plo, and Freya heard but I kept barely mumbling, "My vod are gone..."I just couldn't believe they were gone. I mumbled it as I hugged Freya. I probably looked like a baby, but I had just lost my vod...

and I couldn't protect them...

"Orla, I'm so sorry" Freya said softly as she rubbed my back.

Ahsoka's voice brought me back to reality as I pulled away from my sister's comforting embrace, "I'm so sorry Orla... and Master Plo...." I saw 'Soka give Plo a hug before turning to me. I gently placed a hand on her shoulder before heading over to Wolffe, Sinker, and Boost to check on them and give them the news... though I could still hear Skywalker, 'Soka, and Freya talking to Master Plo.

"Wolffe..."

Wolffe turns to me as Sinker and Boost look up with their helmets off. All of them look sober and their eyes are crestfallen. I wrap my arms around Wolffe in a tight and kind of desperate hug. Despite Wolffe not being one for hugs, he hugs back and softly strokes my hair in a similar way to how Master Plo does. Wolffe was always like the stern teddy bear older brother. He was stern when it came to his job and his brothers, but he was a comforting teddy bear to me.

"I'm sorry Wolffe." I had no tears left, my eyes were dry as a rock on Tatooine.

Wolffe just calmly strokes my hair and rubs my back in silence. I suddenly find calmness in how we are. With the position of my head on Wolffe's chest, and the fact he isn't wearing armor, I can hear his heartbeat. Assuring me he is still alive. We made it out. Wolffe and Sinker and Boost made it out. Plo and I made it out.

Eventually, we made it to the bridge of the Twilight.

"We tracked the Separatists ship to the system, and that is when we found out it was an ION cannon" my master spoke solemnly. 

"An ION cannon?" Ahsoka says, turning to face Plo as she sat in the co-pilot seat. 

I decided to answer her, speaking up from beside Freya, as we both sat on the bench behind them, "a weapon that neutralizes all power." I started to remember how it all happened.

Plo speaks, finishing what I couldn't bring myself to say at the moment, "leaving the targets defenseless."

My mind drifted back...

Wolffe looks up from the holotable, "We're picking up a large energy reading from the target, sirs." He looks and feels worried. It really isn't a surprise though.

"Open fire."

"We're not in range yet sir." Yup, worried. Terrified even. Something bad is going to happen...

"I have a bad feeling about this Master..."

Suddenly, a large purple, electric-like, growing sphere is rapidly approaching. All I can feel is the fear from the clones around me, recognition from my master as he yells for us to brace for impact, and my own terrified and overwhelmed state as my eyes are probably as wide as a clone's fist.

As it hits our ships, everything begins to flicker. Our lights, coms, transmissions, readings, sensors, engines, all our power is shutting off.

"We're losing all our power!!" Wolffe and I are keeping each other from falling. He has always been a brother. "That energy field has left us defenseless!" He yells as we are looking over everything.

Everything changed so quickly... I squeeze my eyes shut, willing the memory in my mind to quiet...

I was brought back to reality when the power is shut down. I look up as the stupid tin frigate passed in front of us, casting a nasty shadow.

Oh no... You have got to be kidding me...

Dread filled my body as my stomach dropped and my throat dried...

I didn't even register Freya's hand taking mine.
