I dedicate my entire Missing series to my half-sister, RevanBodyguard =D
Missing, Part 7
The End is Near…
“HOLD ON EVERYONE! THIS IS GOING TO BE A ROUGH LANDING!” Atton yelled to the Ebon Hawk crew.
The Ebon Hawk jerked left then right untill hit took a hard slam in the Dxun trees.
*******
“Jeez Atton, talk about a rough landing.” Jessica retorted.
“Nice flying Atton.” Mical joked.
“Okay, all we’re doing here is taking care of the sith. Its pretty simple, walk in, give a friendly hello, chuck a grenade then make a run for it.” Andria said.
“Andria!”
“Its a really funny thought Lora.”
“Haha, you’re right Andria, it is!” Jessica said laughing. “Dont worry Alora. I promise we’ll finish off the sith!”
“Even at times when we need to be serious, they dont be serious.”
“Lighten up a bit Lora!”
“Lighten up?” Alora growled at Mical.
“I meant, Alora is right, praise Alora… Not helping am I?”
Alora tried punching him but Mandalore grabbed her arm.
“Cool it Lora.”
“Told you she has anger management.” Andria wispered to Jesscia loud enough for Alora to hear.
Alora tried jumping at Andria but Mandalore grabbed her, again.
“LET GO CANDROUS!”
Alora tried elbowing him in the ribs which sent Andria laughing her head off.
“Look out Mandalore! She might bite too.” Andria laughed harder.
*******
“Now that we all cooled off, why dont we all take a walk around Dxun.” Mandalore sugested.
“No, im a bit tired.” Andria said yawning.
“He mean’t lets go find the sith and kick thier fracking asses!”
“Fine!”
*******
“There it is!” Mira whisperd pointing to a temple through the thick tree’s.
“Yeah, that looks like its consumed by evil.” Andria joked.
“Mira might be right.” Alora said.
“Well then, lets take a look at it.” Jessica said rubbing her hands together.
“Add the evil laugh Jes, that makes it more dramatic.” Andria said laughing.
Alora nudged Andria before waking down a steep hill to the temple. The crew followed behind her.
“Dammit!” Jessica cursed kicking the door
“What?” Alora asked creeping closer to Jessica to see what she was doing.
“It’s locked!”
“We can use this pick I made.” Andria said jumping infront of the door and poking her pick at the lock.
“How are you….” Alora started
The doors slid open with a creek sound.
“Just like that.” Alora staired at amazment.
“Remember the plan. All we have to do is throw a grenade in.”
“Ill go first.” Alora said pushing Andria out of the way.
Alora stood there not moving.
“You gonna go?”
“I think you should go first.” Alora said pushing Andria ahead.
“Okay…” Andria took one step and Alora pulled her back.
“No, no, no. I want to go first just in case a sith comes up behind us with a knife, you’ll get stabbed.”
“Wait, I dont want to be the one who get’s stabbed.”
“Too bad!” Alora said sprinting into the total darkness.
“Freeze!”
The doors shut and a light flickerd on.
Alora looked behind her and Jessica and Andria we’re the only ones standing there.
“Come to shut us down huh?” A voice echoed.
“Technically finish off.” Alora answerd.
“Dont get smart with me.” The voice said back.
click
“Jessie? Andria?” Alora whisperd turning around.
They both had their hands up in the air with 6 guns pointed at their heads.
“I suguest you participaite my dear.”
*******
“Now what Andria? We’re locked in some small cage that smells like rat poop!”
“Its not my fault!” Andria whined.
Jessica sat in the corner.
“What’s up Jessica?” Alora asked sitting next to her.
“That voice was Sion.”
“That dead zombie thing?”
“Yeah. But I promise that everything is going to be alright when we get out of here.”
“Well, we’re a step ahead of him.” Alora dug in her pocket and pulled out two lightsabers. “Blue or green?”
*******
Andria, Alora, and Jessica creeped down the dusty, worn out halls.
“They need to make the bars on the cage a bit more…. hard.”
Andria kept her hand on her blaster and Alora and Jessica gripped their lightsabers.
“Found your way?” The voiced echoed.
“How does it know we escaped?”
“He probably went to the cell to torture Andria.”
“Why me?”
“Because, your fun to poke at, duh!”
“ALORA!” Jessica shrieked.
“Jessie?” Alora spun around. “Andria?”
Alora was alone.
*******
“Atlast, we meet Exile.”
“Sion!” Jessica snarrled.
Sion ignighted his lightsaber which made his face glow.
“Any last words my dear?” Sion asked moving into combat.
“Yeah. Go to hell.”
“Jessica, be careful.” Andria said worridly
“I will. All I have to do is fight the undead. Simple.”
Jessica ignighted her lightsaber.
Soon enough they were both in single-hand combat.
*******
“JESSICA! ANDRIA!” Alora yelled running down halls.
She stopped to catch her breath.
“Come closer my dear…” The voice echoed.
“Where the heck are my friends you dirty little…..”
“Closer… closer…” The voice trailed off.
Alora countinued running and calling for Jessica and Andria.
*******
“I can feel you weakening my dear.”
“You’ll be in your grave soon Sion!”
“Dont think this is going to be over soon. This is but a taste of the darkside.”
“Its gonna be over sooner than you think Sion!”
Andria just watched full of excitment, but she was also worried for Jessica.
Once again, the undead and the devil’s daughter were in a single-combat fight.
Jessica was nearly out of breath before Sion stopped again.
“I can feel it. Your streath leaves you.”
“But its not my time!”
Jessica tried attacking again. No matter how many times she hit him, he always seemed to not feel it. She swung her saber at him and he dodged it. She swung again and he dodged it. She tried it again but Sion found a way to get to her. He blocked her attack and used his force push and threw her against the wall.
“Oh shit!” Andria cursed before shooting her blaster.
Sion blocked it.
“Stay out of this!” Sion spat using the force to push her against the wall.
“Oh, Sion.”
Sion turned around and Jessica swung her blade and almost hit him.
“Your right Exile. This is gonna be over sooner than I think.”
“Oh dammit.”
Sion then stabbed her.
“Could’nt you tell? How much easier do I have to be?”
Jessica coughed up some blood before falling to her knee’s.
The doors on the other side of the room screeched open.
“Jessica!” Alora cried running toward Sion.
“Too late!”
Alora ignighted her lightsaber and tried hitting Sion with it. He blocked it and kicked her hand making her green saber fly up into the air. She tried using the force to help but Sion was immune to anything she tried.
“My dear, im imortal, nothing can stop me.”
Sion laughed then vanished.
Alora ran over to Jessica.
“Jessie, are you okay?!” Alora knew the answer.
“Im fine Lora. Im fine.” Jessica’s voice was weak. “Im gonna die, arn’t I?”
“Dont think like that Jessie!” Alora said her eyes filling with tears.
“Alora, i’m sorry.” Jessica said painfully.
“Sorry for what?”
“Not going through with my promises.”
“Jes…” Alora started.
“Nothing is okay, we didnt finish off the sith. Its painful enough knowing that the sith are still out there.”
“Jessica. Be quiet.”
Alora’s comlink switched on.
“Alora, you guys okay in there?” Atton asked hogging the small screen.
“Atton. I need you to get in here. Now!”
“Alora, what…..”
“NOW!” Alora cried.
“Okay. We’ll find a way in.”
The screen turned black.
Alora turned back to Jessica “I promise Jessie. Everything is gonna be okay.”
“I couldn’t wait untill this was over, Lora. I couldn’t wait. I loved Atton and I could sence he loved me just as much as I loved him. I was hoping Atton and I could have a new beginning. We could have a family, live on Telos, but now, Telos is gone and I’m about to be.”
“Jessie, your not going to die.” Alora said.
“You know its not true Lora.”
“You’re not helping.” Alora said with tears streaming down her face.
“I never did help. I couldn’t stand up to Sion.”
“Nither could I. It just wasn’t the time.”
Andria stood behind Alora stair down at Jessica. Jessica looked at her. She was reading Andria’s thoughts.
“Andria. You did help. Its not your fault.”
“But it is.”
“You did all you could Andria.” Jessica said weakly.
“No I didn’t and you know that. I could have….”
“You could have done nothing else than what you already did.”
“But you’re dying because of me.”
“Its not your fault. Its not your fault.” Jessica’s voice trailed off.
“Jessie, youre going to be alright once Atton and the crew gets here.” Alora said reasuring.
“If only it were true.” Jessica said caughing up more blood. “Tell Atton, I love him.”
The young scout, Jessica Demaro was dead.
*******
“Hurry up Atton!”
“Cool your engine, we’re almost there!”
“But im not a patient person!”
“Fine, you fly this ship!” Atton said getting up.
“Okay.”
Alora sat down and started working the controls.
“Alora! Did you take my cookie?” Andria said running into the cock pit.
“What cookie?” Alora asked looking up at her.
Andria looked at Atton. She grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him closer.
“Did you take my cookie you cookie, stealing, witch?”
“No, I swear I didn’t!”
Andria let go of Atton.
“I think you pulled out my only cheast hair!” Atton said rubbing his cheast.
“Be a man about it!”
“Okay. Strap yourself in, were gonna land soon.” Alora reported.
“Yes ma’am!”
*******
“Please stay in the ship. We need to search the ship before you may exit.” The robot said.
“Oh no, a strip test.” Alora said to Andria.
“Jessica’s death is all my fault.”
“Andria, it’s not your fault, I dont know why you think like that. Sion is a jedi master, Jessica just wasn’t ready. She’s to… well she is just so adventuruos she doesn’t watch out for the danger. Its not you’re fault. Only jedi could stand up to him.”
“I know. That’s why me and Jes could have stood up to him.”
“Andria….”
“I’m a jedi Alora, and I should have saved her, but I didn’t want to.”
“What?! Jessica died because you didn’t want to save her?!”
“Yeah, that’s kinda how the story goes.”
“You were a jedi all that time? You could have saved Jessica with force powers!” Alora yelled. “You’re telling me that Jessica died because you didn’t want to help her?”
“I regret what I did.”
“I knew it. I senced somthing about you when I first met you!”
“Lora, I….”
“Just leave Andria! My best friend is dead because of you!”
“You may now exit the ship.” The robot said.
“I’m….” Andria started.
“JUST LEAVE!”
Dantooine was a pretty big planet. Who knows where Andria could get to.
Andria stood up and left the Ebon Hawk.
*******
“Scythe!” Alora shouted happily running into Scythe’s open arms.
“Good to see you again Alora!”
“Where’s Carth? Is he okay?” Alora asked pulling away from Scythe.
“Yeah, he’s fine. He’s just in the medical room helping out.”
Alora dashed off to the medical room to see Carth. Although she didn’t really know her way around the ship, she found the medical room okay.
She peeked in.
Carth was kneeling next to a bed talking to a young girl who looked about 8. She looked sick, but Carth knew how to make her smile and giggle.
“Hey flyboy.”
Carth looked up.
“Rev?”
“I’m here Carth.” Alora smiled.
The End….
