Wrath of Trandosha

Chapter 6 - Naboo

Leon slashed the medical droid, who stood over his bed, leaving three deep claw marks across it's metal chest. It crashed into it's equipment container, sending tools spiraling across the floor. Black fluid leaked onto the medical bay, it's large yellow eyes faded into nothing.

The three rebels ran in, stopping in their tracks, after seeing his destruction. Leon's heart beat was extremely rapid, he thrashed about disoriented by the bright lights. He threw up, the vomit created a puddle on the floor, he slumped onto the edge of the bed. Passing out once again.

"What do we do now" said Rico turning to Valon and Z,

"His injuries are still bad, I'll stay with him until he recovers" said Z

"No way what if -"

"He's my friend and I'll help him" Z interrupted.

"Fine." Said Valon

"We still need a place for the wookiees to live!" Rico reminded,

"True but where exactly are we going to find a planet out of imperial jurisdiction?" Z questioned

"I know a place, on Naboo, it's a temple of the ancients. We can rest their for a while until we find a better place for the wookiees but it's still in the empires hands." Said Valon

"Why can't they live there?" Asked Rico,

"Its where the emperor grew up, so it's probably crawling with imperials." Z explained,

"It'll do for now" said Valon.

"I'll change our course" said Rico.

The ship exited hyperspace, then turned forty degrees to the left and zoomed back into a spirally tunnel of blue. The crew rested, until they arrived at Naboo, taking the old ship down to the surface amongst yet another jungle.

Once they had disembarked, they saw the humongous trees that stretched up into the sky, their were heads of giant statues buried beneath the soil. They looked human, but had strange eyes and beaded crowns. The crew and wookiees, approached Valon's location, except Z who stayed on the ship tending to Leon's injuries.

Their was a dark cave ahead, once they entered, they gasped. Seeing the spacious interior, with stone steps leading to an upper level which over looked a pool of luminescent water. The pool illuminated the cave, a turquoise glow covered the room creating a silky atmosphere. It was a paradise.

The pool was deep, at its bottom was two entrances which connected with several other tunnels leading to various locations across the planet.
"Wow this place - it's beautiful" Rico remarked,

"It'll be safe from the empire as long as we don't cause any trouble, it's far from the capital but there's a settlement a few clicks north, where we can gather supplies." Said Valon

"Rico get the Wookies to move some of the ships supplies into the cave, once we've set up in here, you can stay here for a while." Commanded Valon.

"Don't you mean we?" Asked Rico,

"Uh yeah" said Valon

Valon strolled outside, climbing onto the top of the cave, he meditated. The summer breeze brushed across his face, he untied his hair allowing it to flow next to his shoulders. He closed his eyes, while clearing his mind he began to hear a familiar voice. It was his master, Jocasta Nu, she was a Jedi Master who served as the Chief Librarian of the Jedi Archives during the Clone Wars.

Valon did not know his parents, he had been brought to a cave much like this one on Naboo, when he was only a baby. Master Nu had trained him in the ways of the force and the importance of meditation. There had been other Jedi, in that hide out who taught him lightsaber skills.
