"What was that?!" Ejiksega shouted, and Owec and Cunee powered on their lightsabers.

"It sounded like a shot." Cunee said worried, before several more were heard, and there were screams.

"The temple is under attack! We gotta go." Owec realized.

"We gotta get Mira!" Ejik bit her lip.

"Wait, she's still here? Didn't her master go on a mission?" Owec asked, terrified.

" She is. She is most likely in her room. We gotta hurry!" Ejiksega was ready to run out of there, and try to get to her, as a Jedi was thrown in, having been shot dead.

Several storm troopers ran in and started firing at them, and Ejiksega, Owec, and Cunee began to block the blasts, and the blasts were returned and either knocked out or killed.

"Come on!" Owec ran to the door to the back exit of the temple.

"But Mira! We can't leave her!" Cunee shouted.

"She's out at the front of the temple! If we go there, we'll be killed!"

"So will she!" Ejiksega teared up.

"As much as I hate it, we have to leave her..." Owec looked down. "Hope that she already got out."

"Can we wait? Or at least try to save her, or go to the front of the temple and try to get in that way." She begged.

"I'm sorry Ejik. We don't have a choice. Now we gotta go." Owec hugged her, and they ran to one of the ships in the docking bay.

Cunee, having had flights training, immediately sat in the driver's seat, and took off flying, as troopers ran out with a missile launcher.

"ENVASIVE ACTION CUNEE! ENVASIVE ACTION! " Owec shouted, spotting them while he screamed like a maniac.

Ejiksega helped Cunee by getting up the weapons system as they fired the missiles.

"Incoming!" Owec kept an eye out for any other missiles as Ejiksega shot down the missiles, and Cunee finally got them out of the atmosphere, and powered on hyperspace.

The second they came out of hyperspace, Ejiksega and Cunee relaxed, before Ejiksega burst out sobbing.

Both boys immediately hugged their friend tightly, and started sobbing as well.

"We just left her there... We promised to protect her when she was two, and we didn't." Ejiksega sobbed harder.

"There was nothing we could do. We can only hope she got out..." Cunee rubbed her back as Owec felt guilty.

"I hope she did." Owe sighed sadly, and didn't let go.

I listened to Owec tell me what happened, as I teared up.

"It's all my fault we left you there. Can you ever forgive me Mira?" Owec asked, tears in his black eyes, making them shine.

"Of course I do." I hugged him tightly, "I understand why."

"No. I was wrong to leave you behind." He sighed.

"Owec..."

He sighed.

"What happened to Ejikega and Cunee?" I changed the topic.

"They're safe. But, we separated, for safety. We meet once a year."

"Where at?" I tilted my head.

"The Black Heart Brewery on Florrum."

"Florrum? Hondo's land?"

"Yeah, surprisingly not anymore. Empire took it. He still cares for Jedi, and also, Cunee has been working for him."

"Working?! Someone like Cunee, you'd expect to arrest Hondo!"

"Long story short, Hondo saved his life, and Cunee helps him now."

"That is insane." I sighed. "What the heck?"

"It's ok." He sighed.

"I see." I got up, and he followed the suit.

"The next one, I can contact you, and you can join us." He offered.

"You really would do that?"

"Of course. Even after all this time, you're still our little sister." He gently rubbed my hair, making me chuckle.

I smiled and hugged him. "Thank you Owec."

I gave him the data to contact me, and hugged him goodbye.

I walked back to town, and found Anoles loading up the ship with the last of the supplies, food wise.

"There you are. You've been gone for a half an hour. Bout to come looking for you." She put her hands on her hip as Khau climbed up her legs and onto her shoulder and chittered.

"What's that?" She asked worried. "Khau says troopers are on their way. "

"Scrap, we gotta go." I climbed on the ship.

"Guess you got back in good time kiddo." She chuckled, "Wen! We gotta take off! Head to Kublorix."

"Kublorix it is!" He shouted back as the hanger door shut, and we began to take off.

"What's on Kublorix?" I asked.

"Peace. Anywhere that is peaceful that is in the Inner Rim, it's there. And it has the best clothes that sustain any damage. Namely, blaster wounds, and other damage."

"Really? Is that possible?" I laughed.

"Yep! It's so well developed that it's extremely lightweight. One tailor there can design clothes fro you. And also, I think it is the exact same material that your cloak."

"Huh. Weird." I chuckled, and sighed. "I'll be in my room if you need me."

She nodded and let me be.
