THE SHIP MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH THE SKY. Anakin is still silent, and I can't tell what he's feeling. "Master, today I did my best to stay calm, focused. And when I did, everything seemed so easy." Ahsoka tells Anakin and I look out at the sky surrounding us.
"If you control your emotions, they won't betray you and make you act up during battle." I tell her and the ship rocks forward. My body flings forward slightly and I stare at the battle which happens in the sky.
"Well, get focused, 'cause things just got a lot harder." Anakin calls out and pilots the ship to dodge incoming attacks. Fighters shoot from behind us. "All we've got to do is land on the Jedi Cruiser." Darana says as she stares out of the window.
"But Masters, their deflector shields are up." Ahsoka calls out, panicked. A blast hits the ship and Ahsoka gasps. The huttlet whines. "They must think this grease bucket is an enemy ship." I press onto the communication button. "Jedi cruiser, hold your fire." I call out with a glance at Anakin.
"Who is that? Incoming ship, identify yourself." A clone says. "This is General Novak. I'm with General Skywalker and we have Jabba the Hutt's son. He's in need of urgent medical care. We must board immediately." I tell the clone as the ship steady towards the cruiser.
"Stand by." The voice says and Ahsoka scoffs. "Stand by? That's helpful." She rolls her eyes and the ship gets hit with another blast. Anakin steers the ship, dodging the blasts towards us. "Hang on!" He calls out and I grip onto my seat as the craft goes straight down before lifting upwards.
My ginger curls hit my face and the ship flips upside down. I keep my eyes on the door of the large cruiser. "General Novak, we think we can lift the shield on the lower rear hangar." I move my hands from my seat and help pilot the craft. "We're on our way." Anakin calls out and we instantly head back to the door.
"We've made it! We've made it!" Ahsoka calls out. "Don't celebrate yet, young one. The mission hasn't finished yet." A fighter rushes inside the cruiser, bursting into a ball of flames and destroying everything. "General Novak, Skywalker, abort!" The clone yells out and the two of us instantly steer away.
"Well that changes our plan." Anakin calls out and glances at me. "Looks like we're going to have to take this bucket of bolts back to tatooine." He calls out and I nod my head. "I don't think this ship will last that long." We manage to get away from the battle and I check around us.
"We're clear to make the jump to Hyperspace. R2, program the navicomputer." I order the droid and he beeps in response. I can feel a draining energy in the force. "I don't think he can make it Master. There's gotta be something we can do for him." Anakin's eyes move to me.
"Darana, switch places with me." I push myself up and my Padawan takes my place. I sit myself beside Ahsoka, placing my hands on the huttlet's skin. "Ahsoka, please look for some medical supplies." I say and hold the baby in my arms, pushing my energy inside of it.
My body aches and turns heavy whilst my palms glow a light colour. I focus on trying to heal the infant and Ahsoka moves back into the room. "There's a medical droid." I blink my eyes and turn my gaze to look at her noise. Fatigue washes over me. "Wonderful, Ahsoka, will you be able to tend to the huttlet?" She nods her head and takes the baby from my arms.
I sit myself down and close my eyes, taking in a deep breath. "You alright back there, Etta?" Anakin asks me and I nod my head, my eyes still closed. "Yes, just fatigued. Healing takes a lot of energy out of me now." Someone sits down beside me and I can feel my hand being held.
My eyes open instantly and I frown slightly, but it drops as I see Darana holding my hand. "It's alright Master, take some of my energy." I shake my head with a thankful smile on my lips. "It's alright, Darana. I will be fine, I just need a moment." She nods and drops my hand, Ahsoka walks back in with the huttlet in her arms.
"Stinky's here to stink another day." She calls out and Darana lets out a chuckle. I can feel Ahsoka's eyes on me. "Hey... are you alright Master Novak?" I give her a small smile at the name. "I'm alright, Ahsoka. And please, call me Etta. You too, Darana." I tell mine and Anakin's Padawans.
"I haven't earned the title of 'Master' yet. And if make some feel old hearing myself get called it." I say and move myself to stand. Ahsoka stares at me curiously. "How old are you Mast- Etta?" Ahsoka questions and I smile at her. "Seventeen, although, I will be turning eighteen soon." I tell them both and their eyes widen.
"You're so young, you're only three years older than me." Ahsoka says with wide eyes. "How old were you when you became a Padawan?" She asks me and I ponder for a moment. "I was nine when I became a Padawan, and seventeen when I became a Knight. Though, Master Windu wanted to put me up for the trials when I was thirteen, but I didn't think that I was ready." I explain and they stare at me in awe.
"I strive to be like you." Darana admits with an awestruck expression on her face. "That is kind, Darana. But now, we must try and fix up this ship on our way back to Tatooine."
