raze_flynDisclaimer and Notes on Chapter One
The Training Camp
Chapter Twenty Four
Kale Lasek
He and Rath finally caught up with the others just outside the valley of the Jedi. He could tell that everyone was tense and ready for anything. “Is everyone else dead?” Rath asked rather bluntly when they saw the others. He was glad to see Mak and Swa Lu were alright.
“Everyone not here but Silas and Nick Berus is dead,” Tor Varga said angrily. “Those two cowards took off on their own since helping me and Geela with Dev was considered too risky.” He could understand the anger then.
“We should get moving,” Tasha Baldor said tiredly. “Be on guard there is something dangerous waiting for us in the valley.” He saw that everyone was taking her warning seriously so he fell in line with the others. He glanced over at Rath who tightened his grip on his saber hilt. It was almost anti climatic when they finally reached the valleyt o find it empty aside from several wrecked robots and the bodies of a strange blonde woman and Master Nextor.
“Good your alive I have called for reinforcements but we must get out of here,” Master Codi said as he emerged from one of the ships. “Is there anyone else still alive out there?” He asked. He found his eyes drawn to Tasha Baldour who’s eyes rolled back in her head and she collapsed. He was amazed that her partner managed to catch her. “Quickly everyone on the ships.” he said waving past them to the two cowards who were emerging slowly from the woods. He wondered if they’d been following after the main group the whole time.
He and several others went to help carry Tasha as Nittin stood up. “I’ll go prep the medical bays on the Jedi shuttle.” He nodded and Nittin took off toward the shuttles. He noticed the two late arrivals were nearly to the Imperial ship. He was just helping Rath and Maks lift Tasha when her eyes flew open.
“Everyone get away from the ships they are going to explode.” She yelled loudly stopping everyone in their tracks. “The woman did something to Zholl Codi he isn’t himself anymore he’s the traitor.” He spun to look at Master Codi who was hitting a switch on a remote seconds later the ships exploded and he heard screams as those closest were hit with burning shrapnel. “Stop him don’t let him get to the other ship.” Tasha called as she struggled to her feet.
He realized as he saw Zholl Codi fleeing with force assisted speed that none of them would catch up to him. He was proven right when seconds later a fight craft rose up and began firing at them. He heard Saw Lu yelling for someone to move and then a scream. He turned and saw that she’d pushed her partner out of the way and taken a direct hit form the fighter’s guns. He was still staring in horror at that when he was shoved aside by Rath who whispered. “Mourn later move.” He force himself to his feed and began using his lightsaber to ward off more hits.
He saw Tasha Baldor then walking toward the ship with her eyes closed she spun and threw her lightsaber towards the ship. He watched as he peirced into the ship which exploded in response. He wasn’t the only one staring at her that was a one in a million hit to a moving fighter to cause a chain reaciton like that. “How did you do that?” Nick Berus asked in awe as he cradled his mangled arm.
“I can see everything here in this valley,” Tasha Baldour said turning toward Nick Berus. “If you don’t abandon your lust for knowledge you will die a horrible death Nick Berus.” She collapsed after that leaving everyone confused and staring at her.
He started to head for her when he remembered Swa lu and turned and raced toward her. Her head was being supported by Mak who was telling her she’d be fine. “Liar,” Swa Lu said. “I’m a healer remember I know there is nothing that can be done for this.”
“Why did you do it?” Jenica Maral was saying as she knelt down. “Why give your life for mine after ...” She didn’t finish but he knew what she was going to say. He could tell in this moment she felt guilty about how she’d treated Swa Lu now.
“I’m a jedi we save lives even if it cost us our own.” Swa Lu said with a weak laugh. “Mak, Kale thank you for being my friends.” She said and closed her eyes. He could hear Mak begging her to hold on but he just sat silently unable to say anything as she faded away leaving just a belt with her light saber on it. He felt Rath’s hands on his shoulder pulling him up ten reaching down to pull the loudly crying Mak up. He pulled his crying friend into a hug and let him cry on his shoulder he felt Rath’s hand on his shoulder and he was grateful but he couldn’t bring himself to cry yet not while Mak was falling apart.
