I'm finally back and I apologize for the long wait. Thank you for all the support I'm receiving. 6K reads and 100 votes!!! I would also appreciate it if you would comment to tell me how I could improve this book since it is my first time writing.

My laptop's finally working so my updates should be more regular, no guarantees though.

 Here's the new chapter and I hope you enjoy it...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Previously:

From behind the 'used to be ship' scrap pile and through the dust cloud, a huge figure stepped out, clanking with every step. It stopped right in front of us, followed by metal robots who I assume are clankers from what I heard the clones say. They quickly surrounded us and held out their blasters, pointing straight at me and Ahsoka, who managed to clear her head at around the same time as me. 

"You're absolutely right, little Jedi. You are absolutely right.  This was a trap, and you fell right into it..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~
No one POV:

Ahsoka and Percy, still a little disorientated, were quickly grabbed from behind by two droids each and held with their arms behind their backs. Two other droids held up their blasters at the two while the rest of the droids stood, awaiting the command of General Grievous.

"You're absolutely right, Ahsoka Tano. See, here's Senator Amidala's transponder from which she supposedly gave a distress call," he said while holding up the transponder, glancing at her horrified yet still confused expression. " Unfortunately she escaped with the golden droid but not to worry. She'll soon be dead," he said with a grimace on his metal face. 

He quickly stalked right up to Ahsoka, his face directly in front of hers, and snatched her two lightsabers from her hip while looking directly into her eyes, smirking.              

"I'll be taking those and adding them to my collection. You won't be needing them anytime soon anyway little Jedi," he said to Ahsoka and then turning around, he said to the droids, " load them onto the ship, we'll be leaving now."

"Roger Roger."

"Roger Roger."  

Ahsoka POV:

When the ship exploded, I remember seeing the bright flash and then being flung back away from where we were standing due to the force of the explosion. The heat was unbearable and I'm pretty sure I banged my head up pretty hard. Before I could gather my thoughts and understand the current situation that I and Percy were facing, the droids surrounded us and the dreaded figure of the one and only General Grievous appeared. 

 "You're absolutely right, Ahsoka Tano. See, here's Senator Amidala's transponder from which she supposedly gave a distress call," he said while holding up a transponder. That's Padme's. What happened?!!  Anakin would be distraught and halfway to the afterlife from an onslaught of heart attacks." Unfortunately, she escaped with the golden droid but not to worry. She'll soon be dead," he said grimacing. How do droids even create facial expressions on their stupid metal mugs? I wonder if... No Ahsoka. Stay focused. You could die.  

I turned my head slightly and glanced at Percy who was in exactly the same position as me. Held up by two droids and at gunpoint by two others. His black hair was knotted and sticky with blood with some trickling down his face, his eyes were slightly out of focus. 

 I zoned out staring at Percy so I missed some of what that stupid droid general said. I zoned back in when his face came too close to mine. After that, the next thing I knew me and Percy were being hauled off towards their droid ship. It wasn't too far away but before we were loaded on, our arms and legs were immobilised and we were thrown onto the ground.

"Hey, Percy," I shout-whispered at him after I managed to get myself into a comfortable sitting position. "Hey listen to me when I am talking to you, you overgrown shrimp!" He looked around and then at me at the same time gesturing to his right ear.

"My ear's still ringing from the explosion so I can't hear that well at the moment. You were saying...?"

"You know how before you were saying your powers and whatnot, didn't you mention vapour travel or something of that sort?"

"Yeah. That's one of my abilities. Why?"

"Is it possible for us to get away using that ability?"

"I could get away a couple miles away from here which would effectively get me out of their reach but the thing is I can only use it on myself meaning that if I do it, you would still be here," he said while having a concentrated look on his face and turning to look at me towards the end of his sentence with heavy eyes.

 I remember him saying something about him having a fatal flaw on the way to Tatooine when we were talking about Earth. He said that his flaw was loyalty and because of that he couldn't leave or betray his friends. 

"Leave me. I know that it's hard for you but if you get away, you could contact Anakin or Obi-Wan and then come and save me. If you don't, then there's no chance for either of us," I said sighing. "Go."

"But Ahsoka..."

"No buts," I interrupted. "I told you already. Go." I said with a determined face. I knew that there was a chance that I would be killed there since I'm not exactly high up enough to be of much use. Percy, on the other hand, is a demigod and extremely powerful. He's more useful than I and I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if something happened to him.

"I'm really sorry about this Ahsoka. I promise that I'll come back. I won't let you die." He looked up at the sky towards where the stars were supposed to be as if looking for something. "I won't let another of my friends die, not again. You remind me of her. You're basically the same. She hated me at the start, just like you did, and yet she still sacrificed herself," he said with a slightly broken voice. 

"If you don't mind me asking, who are you talking about?"

He waited a bit before replying. "Zoe Nightshade. One of the bravest people I have ever met." And with that, his body dispersed into tiny water pieces until invisible. He was gone. 


Done with this chapter. Onto the next one. 

May the force be with you.
