"Now what? Cinee asks Owec, after they and Ejiksega had been floating in space for three days after the fall of the Jeci, the death in the force still extremely strong.
"I guess we say goodbye."
"Why?" Ejiksega asked.
"Well, think about it. They'll be looking for groups of Jedi. It might be safer if we go... solo," Cunee sighed, worried about the future.
The others nodded after a second.
"You're right. We heard the news. The chaos on Kashyyyk. The fall of the wookies. There were jedi there. Including Grand Master Jedi Yoda, but we would've heard if he died," Owec spoke, before looking at the other two, then hugged them tightly.
"We all will be safe. And we should meet at least once a year."
"Yeah! And we will keep our datapads and message each other on there!"
"Both of you boys better be safe."
"We will Ejik," Cunee promised before they climbed into two escape pods, Ejiksega holding onto the ship.
Cunee ejected his ship into space towards one of the planets in the outer rim. Suddenly starting to spin, the pod was out of control as a ship came out of hyperspace and hit it.
"Crap!" He screamed, trying to grab the controls as he hit the walls, heading to Florrum.
"Chance of survival of crashing from this height plus crashing into a desert planet is... very, very low!"
He grabbed his lightsaber, and reached for the controls again, entering the atmosphere. He pulled back on the controls, leveling out before hitting the ground at an immense amount of force.
Cunee was thrown against the window, knocking him out.
"Hey! There is someone over there, and still breathing!" A voice shouted faintly.
Hondo walked over the burning rubble of the ship to his men who had found Cunee, before seeing the lightsaber.
"Take him back to camp. Be careful." He ordered. They nodded and carried Cunee to camp.
When the torgunta came to be, he groaned weakly, and rubbed his head.
"Woah! Kiddo, you can't be getting up this early. You were quite hurt!" Hondo gently pushed him back down.
"Who are you? Where am I?"
"Florrum. I am Hondo Ohnaka, at your service, Jedi youngling." He handed over Cunee's lightsaber.
Cunee quickly grabbed it, noticing the Ohnaka gang symbol, and powered on the saber, pointing it at Hondo.
The weequay guards quickly raised their blasters, but Hondo motioned for them to put them down. "We aren't going to harm you. We are friends of the Jedi. Yes, Kenobi and I had our disagreements, but we are good friends! Or were until three days ago. He hasn't talked to me."
"What do you want from me then?"
"Nothing. Just want you safe. No child should be wandering the universe alone! And let alone hunted. Stay. Stay here, work for me, and I can protect you. We could be partners! You second in command. I can teach you about things the Jedi thought were a disgrace, but would help you survive. What do you say kiddo?"
Cunee looked at Hondo's extended hand, before hesitatingly grasping it. "Deal."
