𝚃 𝚆 𝙾

I FLY THE SMALL SHIP THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE OF CORUSCANT. I have a feeling that something will happen, I can feel it in the force. I suggested before we made our way here that one of Padmé's hand maidens dress as a decoy. I can feel a large change in the force, something bad will happen.

My eyes trail over to the other ship containing Padmé as it lowers to the ground. Mine does the same and the large silver ship with the decoy lands also. The hatch on my ship opens and I exit it, climbing down the stairs that are connected to the ground of the landing area.

I walk over to Captain Typho who pulls the helmet from his head. "We made it." He says and Padmé walks over to us. I keep my helmet on and so does she. My gaze is locked onto the doors of the larger ship. "I guess we were wrong." Captain Typho calls out, looking back at me.

"There was no danger at all." He looks back at the ship and then I feel this overwhelming wave of energy through the force. I can see an explosion before it happens. I can see all of the fire, feel the heat on my skin.

I can hear a quick ticking noise through the force and my eyes widen. A bomb. In an instant, I've grabbed Padmé and shoved her to the ground, shielding her with my body as I await the explosion.

I use my mind and the force to tug everyone towards me and away from the soon to be scorching fire. I can hear their bodies crash and drag to the ground, falling beside me.

The ship explodes and debris flies all around me. I focus on the force but can't feel anyone around me who poses harm. After I deem the explosion stopped, I move off Padmé and she rushes towards the decoy whose body is scattered beside us. I look around me, at everyone I moved from the fire, checking over them.

There's so many people, it's okay, deep breaths Etta. My hands are shaking and I clasp them together, counting my fingers.

"Is everyone alright? As anyone hurt?" I ask and look around, most have minor cuts on their faces from the landing. The only one that seems to be the most injured is the decoy Senator.

I keep on my helmet and quickly move over to Padmé. "Milady, we must leave. You are still in danger." I gently move over to my friend, with my eyes locked on the injured woman in her arms.

A piece of debris hit her and flames have scorched her skin. My eyes widen and I gently move Padmé to stand. "I shouldn't have come back." Padmé admits and looks down. I can feel the decoy's energy through the force, she's still alive, but slipping away. "I need a medical droid!" I call out and move down to my knees, taking the girl's hand.

I close my eyes, focusing on my energy and hers. I can feel mine slowly slip out of me and into her. My body feels heavy and I'm getting drained. The sound of the woman breathing in is enough for me to stop and open my eyes. Medical droids come rushing towards me and I push myself to stand.
