I thought today was just going to be a normal day. No fights. No full out war. No suprises. But I was a terrible guesser also... I had slept peacefully and hadn't moved a muscle. I had heard ships leave early in the morning but didn't really care. Ships left all the time. I heard them come back but I didn't really care. But then I heard someone crawling through the little file like things. I woke up finally and went dragon, slipping into my pool. I lifted my nose out of the water. I sniffed silently and smelled a girl. I snarled and sniffed again. Sirens went off as I yelped and swam deeper. I heard the rushing of the feet over the platform as I looked. It was Han Solo, Chewbacca, and another male. I snarled and flapped my wings, shooting myself over them and landed softly but enough to rattle it. They all halted as I growled and snapped my jaws harshly, making an echo of teeth clattering together. They all looked at me in fear as Kylo came up from behind me and leaned on my chest. "Like my new addition to our military? She's hungry you know." I growled and swung my tail, igniting it as Han backed up some. "Ben you don't have to do this...." Kylo snarled "MY NAMES NOT BEN!!! YOUR SON IS DEAD!!" I looked at him and realized what he was going to do. I leapt over him as I heard the dreaded noise of a lightsaber being ignited. I felt a small sting in my stomach as I looked at it. His lightsaber was through my stomach, and was only an inch away from Han's chest. I whimpered a little and stumbled before going human and falling over. Kylo's face was saddened as he screamed out. Han grabbed me quickly and ran for it as Kylo followed suit. They ran out as Chewie set explosives off, destroying everything. They ran as I was in and out of my head. But another dragon landed. He was large and more brute than dragon. I snarled and shot up from Hans arms, going dragon and screeching. I was bleeding heavily but we were going to get off this planet. The others all backed up a little as we charged each other. My tail ignited as I swung it but missed. He snarled and shoved me a little bit. I threw him down as the others ran. The dragon snarled and grabbed my neck in his jaws and held on as he swung my tail around and hit his arm and back leg. He let go as I shoved him off and snarled, seeing the Millennium Falcon speeding off. I dropped a box as it morphed into a helmet. We used these on my home planet for space travel. I put it on and shot out as the planet exploded behind me. I felt a few debris fly into my back as I snarled and shot off again. I didn't know where I was going but I needed to get somewhere I could rest and heal. I shot into a planets atmosphere and crashed like a TIE fighter, rolling to a stop. I opened my eyes a little to see that I was on Tattooine. I sighed and got up, still bleeding heavily. Dragons could survive in this condition, yes, but it was still harsh. Sand got everywhere and it was coarse and rough. I saw an old empire cruiser that had been shot down as I perked up and walked for it and sighed as I crawled deep inside it and layed down. The cool metal quickly got covered in blood as I closed my eyes. If I died, I would die alone...
