Star Wars: Cross Paths

Chapter 163 - Darksaber

The Falcon had just left the lightspeed. In front of them was Takodana a planet covered in an abundance of lush forests and dotted with small lakes, Takodana, located on a hyperspace route between Chalcedon and Noe'ha'on, was a popular departure point that offered easy access to trade routes that connected the Inner and Outer Rim. For those heading outwards toward the galactic periphery, the planet was seen as a last taste of civilization, while those heading Corewards saw it a last grasp of frontier living.

Travelers found the planet's neutrality and distance from galactic politics appealing, and as a result Takodana became a haven for fugitives, smugglers, and explorers.

Leaving 48 hours ago from Coruscant, Han, Chewie and Luke were about to reach their destiny. The attack on Takodana had happened a week ago, and the New Republic had decided to sent troops there to see the damage on the small base they had there. Luke found the perfect moment for some of his students to go with them.

So after talking with Ines, they both thought it was for the better to take the oldest students, so Luke decided to take Ieneh and Nelah both with 13 years old now, Idda who was 14 now and Yana who already had 16 years old.

Once they entered in the atmosphere, they could see the destruction of the base and the surroundings with burning trees.

"They really damage big time," Han said looking down while the Falcon flew above it the damage.

"Yes they did," Luke sighed. Getting back inside he watched his 4 students, who were sitting by the game table. "Are you okay?"

They looked at him and nod.

"Nervous but excited at the same time," Yana said smiling.

"You remember what I told you. Be careful and don't walk alone. You understand? They maybe be out there hiding."

"Okay Master Luke," Nelah nod.

The Falcon landed and Han left the cockpit alongside with Chewie.

"We are ready," Han said when there was a beep on the Falcon. Chewie growled.

"We have a call from Coruscant?" Han asked a little surprised.

"It is Ines. I asked to try to find something about that saber that my clone used during the attack and when she had information to call us right away." Luke said and pressing a button, the image of the Ines appeared

"Hey my love. Hello everyone. How is the trip?" she asked.

"Hey Ines," Han waved and Chewie waved too growling.

"Hello my love. You just made the call in time we just landed in Takodana."

"Oh how is it?" she asked.

"We didn't left the ship but from what we saw from above, it was a lot more destruction that we expected. How are the kids?"

"If you are asking about our little kids, they are great. Alli is a little quiet lately. But I think she is missing you already. As for our big kids they are doing great. Today they will started to use the middle level of the virtual room."

"Great. But if you are calling me it is because you found something right?"

"Yes I did and I had the help of Qoli who is here."

"Hello Master Luke. Hello girls, Han and Chewie," Qoli waved at them who wave back.

"Hey Qoli," they said

"What did you find?" Luke asked them.

"Well honey, you will not going to believe it. Remember I told that I heard the name Darksaber before, right?"
