The Mandalorian Jedi

Chapter Two

Ziro lay on his dais, grumbling in his high pitched voice about one of many things that had bothered him in the past hour but he turned when I entered the hall, followed closely by the Jedi and their droid,
"Rhea my dear! Who have you brought with you this time lovely?" I seriously thought about strangling him there and then but an untrained 10 year old wasn't going to get anywhere against an enormous slug in a room full of professional bounty hunters, that was just asking for trouble.
"They are Jedi, Master Ziro, they are searching for someone of great importance and are willing to pay a handsome fee in return for information of this persons whereabouts." I could feel Obi-Wan glaring into my back and I gave him a sharp look over my shoulder warning him not to speak.
"Well, well young Jedi, the amount of information I can... provide you with, depends on how handsome this fee really is."
"We are looking for a force user of great talent, they have been causing quite a bit of trouble if our sources are correct, young Rhea here thought you may know something of them." The Jedi Knight spoke calmly but I could see his hand leaning towards the lightsaber sitting on his hip. Anakin obviously wasn't big into this kind of thing as he was grasping his lightsaber and glaring at anyone who looked towards him and next to him the droid was rocking back and forth beeping and whistling, I gave both of them a light kick and turned back to Ziro who was just about to kick off into one of his long, mindless montages.

"I see your problem, Jedi and I do of course know who you are searching for but it will come with a heavy price. I want the droid. I hear he holds many... interesting secrets." Anakin and Obi-Wan shared an alarmed look and then the older of the two nodded and graciously said,
"Of course, now tell us where they are." He gave the R2 unit a slight push and the droid rolled forwards, beeping dramatically as he went,
"But Master-" the boy was obviously upset at the thought of abandoning the droid but his master turned and glared at him,
"Anakin, quiet. Why don't you take Rhea and wait outside?" Anakin opened his mouth again but I grabbed his arm and dragged him outside.

He kept his lightsaber in his hand as we stood against the wall waiting. Several bounty hunters looked our way but most quickly turned in the other direction when they saw the lightsabers deadly glow as it hummed in the darkening night.
"I'm sure it's okay, if the droid is that important I doubt your Master will just let them take him." Anakin almost looked surprised that I was still there but he smiled and held out his hand,
"Thank you, I realise I have not properly introduced myself, I'm Anakin Skywalker, Padawan of Obi-Wan Kenobi." He sounded so proud that I just smiled and shook his hand slightly awkwardly.

For the first time I properly looked at the young boy standing next to me, he had bright blue eyes and his blonde hair was cut relatively short and a long braid of hair grew just behind his ear, representing his role of padawan, he looked very young to be a padawan but who was I to judge? I'd never actually met a proper Jedi.

A sudden clash sounded from inside and Anakin sighed, "Well I guess he isn't letting R2 go after all, I better go help him."
"Uh, Anakin I think you might want to stay out here..." He turned to face the onslaught of bounty hunters that had suddenly started advancing on us,
"Yeah... I might want to do that. Get behind me." His lightsaber was moving before the first one got a chance to breathe and I couldn't help but gasp at the smooth, if slightly staggered, motions as he flowed from one bounty hunter to another, cutting them down but not killing them. If a ten year old could do this then I didn't know if I wanted to see what a fully grown Jedi could do with the intense training they all went through.

One bounty hunter got past the raging storm that was Anakin and came up to me, he laughed lightly and smirked, I backed away as far as I could but soon ran into the wall. His breath stank and I involuntarily turned my head away, closing my eyes. I felt, rather than saw the knife that he held to my throat and something clicked inside me, what it was I didn't know but the hunter went flying backwards, landing with a loud crack at Obi-Wan's feet. I stood there gasping for air, staring up at the Jedi who just looked at me and said, "So it's true."

This took a long time to write but I hope you enjoyed it and I have some fun stuff planned which will mean a rewatch of the prequel trilogy and some of clone wars which will be fun heh

Thank you for reading it means the world Xx
