STARWARS: A New Addition

Chapter 19 Alondria

I really need to start thinking things through. I thought to myself mid air of my jump. I felt a breath of relief escape me as I felt my hands grab onto the droid.

Almost immediately it whipped itself to the side in an effort to throw me off. Which it almost did. The Probe sent off several protective electrical shocks across its surface, causing me to almost lose my grip again. I clenched my teeth as we dart in and out of the speeder traffic.

What to do what to do. I thought to myself. My hand shifted over some wires and an idea crosses my mind. I disconnected a wire on the back of the droid by ripping it out. Immediately I felt tbe power shut off!

"Ohh Blast!" I yelled as the probe droid and I drop like rocks. I realized the error of my idea and quickly put the wire back. The droids systems light up again and it takes off.

"Okay now I really really need to start thinking things through."

The Probe bumped against a wall, hoping to knock me loose. It moved behind a speeder afterburner in an attempt to scorch me.

You'll have to do better than that. I thought to myself remembering the agonizing pain of Mauls saber.

The droid began weaving an intricate path flying wildly between buildings and skimming over rooftops. I lifted my feet off so they wouldn't be ripped off while still tenaciously hanging onto the probe.

The tricky machine began heading for a dirty, beat-up speeder hidden in an alcove of a building about twenty stories up. I squinted my eyes to try and see the figure, who i naturally assumed the probe belonged to, standing next to the small airship.

I still couldn't see the person clearly but i was close enough to see them pull a long rifle out of the speeder and start to fire. At me..

Explosions erupted around me. I ducked my head in an effort to cover myself.

"Oh no. Oh no no. See this is very not go-" I started but was cut off  as the droid suffered a direct hit.

Lets just hope I die before hitting the ground. Was my thought before letting go. The droid blew up almost instantly after i let go.

I began to  fall fifty stories, maybe more who's counting when your falling to your death.

Suddenly, a speeder dropped down next to me. I managed to grab onto the back end of the speeder and haul myself toward the cockpit. I felt two hands close around my each of my wrists. I looked up to see three very concerned faces. One was Briste who kept glancing from me back to the traffic ahead since she was driving the speeder. Anakin sat in the middle with one hand on my left wrist. And the third, well it was none other than Obi with both hands thrown around my right wrist. A little tighter than I think he means to.

"Are you alright?!" He yelled.

I nodded. "You can let go now I'm holding on!" I yelled back over the sounds of traffic.

Anakin let go and so did Obi-Wan, a little more hesitantly.

"What took you guys so long?!" I yelled while sliding across the back of the speeder when Briste made a sharp turn.

"Oh yknow. We couldn't find a speeder we liked."  She answered smirking over her shoulder at me.

"With an open cockpit... and with the right speed capabilities...and then you know I had to get a really gonzo color.." Anakin continued. The two apprentices looked at each and grinned. Briste blushed and turned back to the traffic ahead hitting the brakes which caused me to slide forward.
