Star Wars : The New Sith Crisis

Eoghan's return

Eoghan sat outside Luke's ship . Mara was treating Luke's wounds wiith bacta and the Force and so far Luke seemed to be responding . The dark demon that had fought the two Jedi Masters had left the planet some hours ago, leaving behind another dark power that had left , only minutes before in a large scout vessel . Eoghan leaped to his feet, his green lightsaber activating as he heard shouting in the distance and drawing nearer . He nervously gazed into the dark and saw a blue glow approaching . Listening closely , the Jedi apprentice heard, " NO Ari no, stop that . Put it down, agh, HELP ! " and " Gim'eh ca'eh !" in a familiar high pitched voice . Eoghan gaped as the Zabrak padawan Rorn ran into the circle of light coming from the fire , chased by a lightsaber weilding Ari .

Rorn saw the flustered apprentice , " Eoghan don't just stand there, help me stop her ! " he shouted before leaping up and grabbing the upper branches of a tree, and pulling himself up . Eoghan turned to face Ari who was gazing at him in interest . "uh, hi Ari, whatsup ?" he asked . " Ca'eh, Ah luv, ca'eh ." she sang, very off-key . Eoghan gulped, So that was whats wrong . " You gave her candy ? " He shouted at Rorn . Ari heard that one single word candy, and snapped to attention, jumping at Eoghan across the fire,shouting " Ca'eh " . Eoghan screamed and very soon after that, joined Rorn in the tree . " So, Eoghan, hows Byss ? I haven't seen too much of it cause I've been running away from Ari ." Rorn asked . Eoghan shrugged," Not that great . I've seen a temple, caves and woods . I got sealed in a heap of molten rock and recieved second degree burns , got whipped by Sev'rannce Tann, nothing much . " Rorn nodded," Cool ."

Mara looked up from her treatment of Luke's wounds and listened . She could hear the hum of a lightsaber outside and a high-pitched voice singing about . . . ca'eh ? Standing, Mara stretched and walked out of the ship to see, two Jedi initiates sitting in a tree, while a sugar-crazed Jedi Master was trying to stack rocks and pieces of wood into a tower to reach them . Mara watched amazed as Ari started to climb her make-shift ladder and it promptly collapsed . Not daunted, Ari began to build it again with larger rocks . Mara sighed and stepped out where she could be seen ." Ari, stop this at once ." she commanded, bringing the power of the Force into her voice . Ari looked up and saw Mara," Ca'eh ?" she asked . Mara shook her head," No, no more candy ." she said . Ari held up two fingers close together ." Jes eh li'lle bet ?" she pleaded . Mara shook her head again and waved for Rorn and Eoghan to come down . Rorn shook his head no, and Eoghan's voice piped up," Is it safe yet ?" Mara gestured to Ari who was now tossing twigs into the fire and laughing at the sparks that flew up . " See for yourself ." she answered , sounding very annoyed . Rorn slowly slid down the trunk of the tree , while Eoghan tried to climb down, but fell , landing on top of Ari's small tower . " Now Rorn, why are you here ?" Mara asked . Rorn pounted at Ari and said ." I was sent to get Eoghan and bring him back and she wanted to come ." Mara nodded and turned to Eoghan ." You will go back with Rorn and Ari . Tell Corran that Luke and I will be coming back in several days . And remember, your name is still on my list, so nothing better go wrong or your name is mud " Eoghan nodded and looked out at the dark of the night around them ." Do we have to leave right now ? " he asked ." Mara's face went red and she pointed at the direction of Rorn's ship in a " just go " way . Rorn called to Ari and gesturing to Eoghan, they started the long walk back to Don's freighter . " If you have any candy on you, dump it now ." Rorn whispered to Eoghan," Its no tfun being stuck in hyperspace with a sugar high Jedi Master ."
