Weeks passed by since Echo joined the Bad Batch and since I last saw Echo. I was beginning to miss Echo. I had been busy, fighting against the Separatists on different planets. Currently, I was in my room with Sirius and T3. I was beginning to wonder whether she sees Echo as just a friend or something else. I mentally shook my head, no I can't. Not only is it wrong, but I can't hurt myself again. I don't know if my heart could take it. At that moment, Jinx and Areria walked into my room.
"Hey Master." Areria greeted me. "Hi T3, Sirius."
Sirius wagged his tail, while T3 let out a few excited beeps. I turned to Jinx, giving her a smile. "Hey Jinx."
"Storm." Jinx greeted curtly before changing the subject. "The Jedi Council wishes to see Areria, me, and you."
I furrowed my brows. Something was wrong with Jinx, but I didn't know what it was. I'll get her to open up later. With this in mind, I gave her a nod. "Very well. Let's not keep the Council waiting."
With that, T3, Sirius, Areria, Jinx, and me made our way to the Jedi Council chambers. Once we arrived, we made our way to the middle of the room before giving them bows.
"You wished to see us, Masters?" I inquired.
"Yes, the Separatists have taken control of Boz Pity." Master Windu informed us.
"To Boz Pity you will all go." Master Yoda advised.
"It's crucial that we win this battle. We need to drive the Separatists away from all Mid Rim planets." Master Koon mentioned.
"We'll do everything we can to fight the Separatists off the planet, Masters." I assured them.
"We know. Now go, it's crucial that you go as soon as possible." Kina urged.
With that, we gave the Masters a bow before leaving. As we walked towards the hangar, I spoke up. "Hey Jinx, did you know that Echo's alive?"
I noticed Jinx's jaw tense up at my words. She kept her eyes faced up towards the hallway as she spoke with a bitter tone. "...Yes, I have."
I exchanged a grim look with Areria. What got into her? We then met up with Padawan Jinx in the hangar along with our troops. In a heartbeat, we took off, making our way to Boz Pity, known as the graveyard planet. Areria, Sirius, T3, and I were on the command bridge on one of our Republic cruisers along with Admiral Jace. Jinx and her padawan Jinx were on another Republic cruiser behind us. Their holograms appeared right beside us.
"Isn't the planet we're heading towards called the graveyard planet?" Areria questioned.
Padawan Jinx gulped. "That doesn't sound reassuring."
"It's nothing. The natives of the planet were merely killed off, leaving behind giant monuments, giving Boz Pity the nickname 'graveyard planet.' Not to mention that the people of the nearby systems buried their dead on that planet." Jinx informed us.
"Impressive." I said.
"Yeah, well I just like to so some research of the planet before we will be heading to." Jinx mentioned.
"We're going to battle, Master. How could learning the history of the planet be beneficial?" Padawan Jinx questioned.
I noticed Jinx's fists clenched. Sensing tension, I decided to change the subject. "We need to discuss our plan of attack before we get out from hyperspace."
"We can take them with a team of starfighters." Padawan Jinx suggested.
"The Separatists have a blockade surrounding the planet with over a hundred warships." Jace reminded us.
