Star Wars AU Episode I The Start of the Skywalker legacy

Chapter 11

Credit for playing the characters: Johnathan,Dieo,Mae and Gregg: Raymond.

"This place gives me bad memories....." James said recalling his slave days.

"It is quite the traumatic place for you....I haven't been an slave, but I can tell it was hard." Johnathan said being sympathising, after exiting the ship.

"Just looks like a desert." Mae said having an hint of disappointment in her voice.

"Oh this place held podracing tournament's right?" Gregg asked James refering to the one fateful race that won Anakin and James' freedom.

"Yeah, and my brother won the race that got us off this place, but not mother....." James nearly choking on the last part, "I'm sorry we couldn't free her." Obi Wan said giving comfort, "I suppose it wouldn't have mattered in the end....." James said, still showing cynical doubt.

"Don't think like that James, fate is completely out of our control the best we can do is what we can in the here and now." Zoe said, reiterating Qui Gon's old words which were said long ago.

"Y-yeah you're right." James repiled, snapping out of those murky thoughts, that was not important right now, they had to find Dooku for answers.

"Everything has a reason,we just need to tip the scales to favor us." Johnathan added, before Mae interjected, "Ok Shakespeare, calm down!"

James decided to change the topic as he struggled to clean out some of the sand getting into his boots, now he didn't mind sand but it could be an hindrance now and again.

"My brother would be cussing about sand right now, he thinks it's coarse, rough and irritating." James mused, fondly recalling the one time he put sand in Anakin's robes one time as an slight light hearted prank, but well....let's say Anakin gave him quite the scare making James sure never to use that kind of prank again...

"And it gets everywhere?" Mae said, overhearing him, James was about to respond when a growl sounded out.

"Was that your stomach?" Zoe asked, looking at James, who gave an indignant roll of his eyes, "Oh come on Zoe you're smarter than this! That's not the sound an hungry person makes!" James retorted, but then the growl came again much louder than the last, it sounded like it was getting closer...

"That cannot be good..." Gregg said reaching for his weapon,"No sh*Growl* Sherlock!" Mae said, part of her swear word was cut off by the growl.

"RRRRRAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWRRR!!!!!!!!" Bellowed out the roar as the group turned around to see....

An giant quadrupled green lizard-like creature glaring at them with yellow eyes, two horns on the head, followed by many spikes along the back, and it's jaw opened up to show saliva dripping from the mouth, ready to feast the prey... it was all too clear to James what it was!

"EEEEEEEEKKKKKK!!!! I-I-I-I-I-I-IT'S A-A-A-A-AN KYRAT DRAGON!!!!" James shrieked in fright, temporarily falling back into his timid persona! And who could really blame him for it? This was an dangerous creature who's the type for staring at you, choosing you as it's next lunch!

"Well we may as well be snacks......." Obi Wan said, having some ironic humour pulling out his saber, "That thing is clearly meant to be guarding that place!" Zoe said pointing to a castle nearby, (Yes how convenient that is the most likely place for an former Jedi to hide is in an-not-so obvious castle with an dragon guarding it!) Zoe thought ruefully, showing off her indigo coloured saber.

"In that case, we have to "defeat" this challenge set by Dooku to gain passage!" James said getting his deep blue blade out as the beast roared and charged at them, Obi Wan and Zoe dive out of the way, but James wasn't fast enough so in an risky move he strikes his saber, cutting off the horn as it ripped a part of his robes causing some blood to spill, but not killing him.

"Urgh......" he groaned then force pushing the beast backwards as Zoe then uses force speed to distract the beast, "I have better things to do in the force than die!" She said slicing the tail, as fhe dragon roars in pain.

Seeing this, Johnathan force jumps onto the kyrat and stabbed it with his saber, killing the creature and jumping down from it,"Well that was easy." Mae said, "Easy? I thought we'd be snacks by--" Obi wan was cut off by an roar of an Rancor knocking him unconscious.

"OBI WAN!!" James gasped, "Oh for force damn it!!" Mae said locking eyes at the rancor as it approaches the others menacingly.

James then tries to fight the rancor together with Zoe, but it was too strong, being able to knock them back a few feet into the sand, "I'm rancor munch....." James silently cursed, before a stab was heard and the beast went down, face inches away from Zoe and James.

"Holy pups!, something saved us!" Gregg gasped looking about, "Huh? Where did the---" Zoe said as the person deactivated the saber, "Hey." An familiar girl's voice said, coming into view.

"WH--!?! A-Ahsoka!?! Where....b-how...." James stammered, he couldn't believehis eyes, surely he was hallucinating and was dead, to be sure he pinched his arm, yep still alive.

"Oh I just snuck on board and silently followed you guys, and a good thing I did!" Ahsoka said having a cheeky grin, reveling in the shock.

"W-Well.....Thanks...." James said getting up, "I mean you did save me from Savage back there, it's only fair I save your butt." Ahsoka said, coming over to him.

"Well I guess you are a badass now?" Mae said taken by awe of Ahsoka, "Damn,we got one heck of a friend here..." Gregg adds.

James suddenly hugs Ahsoka, "Thank you...." he said, taking the moment, "U-Uh......Is this really the best time....?" Ahsoka blushed in surprise, returning the hug.

"I don't think this should do that now but alright." Johnathan said, happy for the pair, "*Ugh* Just kiss already for f--*WHACK!" Mae was cut off by Zoe whapping her head, "Language, and it's lucky Obi Wan's out of ear shot, or down for the count." She said, being tactful.

"*Dah!* Alright,alright,alright!" Mae exclaimed then keeping quiet.

"Oh yeah Obi Wan!"James exclaimed remembering he was knocked out, "I'm glad knowing a friend I like has my back." He said to Ahsoka then walking to over Obi Wan waking him up, "You seem to get knocked out easily by Rancors." James teases a bit, letting a bit of cheek slip out.

"Hmph, you certainly have cheek for someone who's quiet most of the time." Obi Wan scarstically remarks, getting up and the whole group went inside the castle.
