AN: Hey everyone TYSM for 14k reads!

I also have published the little book I spoke about. It's just going to have a few moments that didn't make it into this book. It's going to have a lot of stuff from the first year of the war, and mainly Season 1 since I breezed through that season kinda quickly.

Titled: "The Tales of the Second Padawan" (so original)

P.S.- sorry this chapter is somewhat short. Next chapter will wrap up this arc :))

Hours later, we ran down towards the beach. I could hear the drop ship coming through the fog.

"They're here, just like you said." I looked towards Jinx.

"Get ready. We'll have to be swift. Kalifa, I would stay here you're still weak." Ahsoka said. Kalifa nodded hesitantly.

"The drop points not far." Said O-Mer.

Ahsoka eyed the ship, "Now!" We darted towards a leaning tree, using it to propel ourselves upwards onto the ship.

Me and Ahsoka landed on the window. I winked at the Trandoshans piloting the ship. One of them pointed at us angrily and left.

We were on the top of the ship when the hatch opened. The hunter who pointed his blasted at us. O-Mer and Jinx snuck from behind and kicked him down towards the ship's wing.

"We'll take the pilot!" Ahsoka said, ushering me to follow her. We jumped down the hatch, "Find the prisoners." Ahsoka told me. I nodded and headed the opposite way.

I heard firing from where Ahsoka was. The ship jolted, almost knocking me off the ground. I stumbled into the holding area.

In the cage was a Wookie. When he spotted me he roared loudly. I didn't speak much Shyriiwook, but I can tell he said something along the lines of "Get away from me," and "Who are you."

"I'm not here to hurt you.." I put my hands out, trying to convey I'm an ally.

The Wookie roared, saying he understood my language.

"I'm a Jedi, I can help you. What's your name?"

He replied, saying his name was Chewbacca. I introduced myself and used the force to try to break the cage.

"Use all your strength Chewbacca.." He grabbed the bars, trying to pull them apart. I used the force, trying to do the same.

The ship was shaking wildly, I fell into the opening I made in the cell, bumping into Chewbacca.

"We have to get out of here!" I used the force to try to make the opening bigger, so he can fit through it.

Chewbacca howled loudly, telling me to save myself. "I won't leave you!" I replied.

The floor underneath us opened and we fell out of the ship. We crashed onto the sand as explosions went off, the ship somehow crashed onto the beach.

I coughed, smoke filling the air. The wires crackled around me, I heard loud roaring next to me, Chewbacca was safe.

"Liyah!" I heard Ahsoka, O-Mer, and Jinx's voices calling out to me.

"I'm over here!" I yelled. Chewbacca gave me his hand, helping me get up off the sand.

"Thank the stars!" O-Mer ran towards me, stopping in his tracks. Chewbacca towered over us.

"What is that thing..."

"It's a Wookie," Ahsoka said.

"His name is Chewbacca." I corrected. I could see Kalifa limping towards us in the distance.

She sighed in relief. "You're all okay..." She leaned on O-Mer's shoulder.

"That plan was a bust," Ahsoka said.

"Let's head back and find a new way," Jinx said. "Come with us Chewbacca."







Chewbacca offered to carry Kalifa, who had fully exhausted herself. We talked on the way there, Ahsoka knew a bit more Shyriiwook than I did.

"Chewbacca, does anyone know that you were taken?" O-Mer asked as we sat down in our tree.

I lit the fire as Ahsoka translated his grunts and roars. "He says no one knows about his capture, but he says his home world is very close."

"That's great, but it might as well be Coruscant, as far as I'm concerned. We've got no ship."

"Jinx is right," Kalifa said, sitting down. "There's no way off this rock.."

My eyes perked up once I heard what Chewbacca was saying in his language. "You think so?" I asked.

Ahsoka looked towards the rest of the group, translating. "He thinks he can contact his home planet if we find a way to transmit a signal."

"Right...and how do we do that? Send smoke signals?" Jinx said sarcastically, waving his hands on the air.

"What about the ship?  It could have a working transmitter on it." Kalifa suggested. Chewbacca nodded and spoke.

"Chewbacca says he can build a transmitter from the wreckage on the beach."

Chewbacca replied, saying he just needs the right parts.

"Well, we can't just sit here," O-Mer spoke up.

"Fine we'll do it the Wookie way," Jinx sighed and turned back around. "But I'm getting some rest first."
