Battle Scars (Hobbit/Star Wars Crossover)

Chapter 21: Escaping Prison

As I laid there on the chair, I heard Ahsoka's voice. "Are they dead?"

"They're about to be." Anakin said, his voice laced with anger.

"I've got Xurin, you take care of Rako." Neria advised.   

At that moment, I felt a hand on my shoulder. My eyes fluttered open to see Neria glaring at me with Jara behind her. Jara tried her best to mask her emotions, but I could see her dark circles and her puffy red eyes. I mentally shook my head. Don't let your emotions get in the way, Miona. You have a mission to complete. 

"Jedi? Didn't I already kill a Jedi?" I asked with a giggle. 

Neria scoffed. "She's drunk." 

"So is Rako." Anakin replied, sounding disgusted. 

"Get up, you filth!" Neria spat as she pulled me up. She then pinned me against the wall, shocking me. "I would kill you right here if I could, but the woman you murdered would rather see you rot in jail for the rest of your days."

I could feel Neria's pain and anger boiling inside of her. I didn't realize how badly my death affected her. I couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. Was it such a good idea to exclude them from the plan after all?

"Now let's go before we change our mind." Anakin urged. 

With that, we were taken out of the cantina and towards the prison. Once we were in prison, Obi-Wan and I were separated. We were given prison uniforms before we were thrown in different cells. The next day at breakfast I grabbed a bowl filled with slob on a tray before making my way to where Obi-Wan was. As I walked towards Obi-Wan, I heard whispers amongst the prisoners.

"That's Miona Dooku's killer." One mentioned. 

"She's Xurin Lezoc." Another commented. "The Jedi killer." 

Once I reached Obi-Wan, I sat across from him. We ate in silence for a few moments until Obi-Wan spoke up, spitting out this food. "This food is disgusting."

At that moment, a Karkarodon and a Lutrillian approached our table. The Karkarodon didn't look so impressed upon seeing us. He grabbed Obi-Wan's cup as he looked at us. "That's them. The Jedi killers? They don't look so tough to me."

I narrowed my eyes at him. "I would leave if I were you."

"Oh yeah?" The Karkarodon replied as he pushed Rako. "And whatcha gonna do about it?"

"This food is terrible." Obi-Wan commented as he raised his fork. 

He then stabbed the Karkarodon's hand, causing him to roar out in pain. Obi-Wan then pulled the Karkarodon's face towards him.

"Maybe you would taste better." Obi-Wan added. 

I glanced around, feeling all eyes of every prisoner on us. Well, we definitely are making an impression. We then got the attention of a clone trooper, who shouted out. "Hey, what's going on down there?" 

"Sorry, we were just playing with our food." I mentioned.

Obi-Wan then let go of the Karkarodon. The Karkarodon let out a groan as he freed himself from the fork. His eyes were filled with fear as he stared at us. "You're crazy, the both of you." 

He then took off with the Lutrillian, trailing behind him. After they left, I whispered to Obi-Wan. "Do you think that got Moralo's attention."

"I believe so. He's coming this way." Obi-Wan informed me. 

In a matter of seconds, Moralo sat right next to me. There was a grin on his face. "Rako Hardeen, Xurin Lezoc, your reputations precede you. I'm curious, when you killed that Jedi, was it for money or revenge?"
