Chapter 12 - Small Jedi (1/2)

CT-4063 was looking uptight to the droids. He squeezed the Sonic Blaster, although he probably wouldn't be able to pull the trigger before becoming a pile of carbonized clone.

Suddenly an Laat flew above them at neckbreaking speed. The Laat fired all its missiles at the tower were the LR1K was. The over 30 meters tall tower was instantly reduced to rubble. A cloud of dust rose, and CT-4063 couldn't see a thing.

Somewhere above him the noise of the Laat appeared again. He should have run at this moment, taking advantage of the distraction to run. But a feeling of calm washed over him, as if he couldn't be harmed at that moment. He only had that feeling once before, earlier that day, when Commander Keeli and General Di were talking.

Up on the cloud of dust, where he thought the Laat was, a glowing green stick lit up. He thought it was a strange action, as the glowing stick would become a beacon to where the droids could direct their fire.

Until he heard the droids screaming.

”Jedi! There is a jedi! All units, fire on him! Kill the jedi scam!”

The green light, or rather, the lightsaber seemed to drop down from the Laat, more than twenty meters above the ground.

Droid screams sounded as the lightsaber danced in the middle of the dust.

”Where is he? Oh, found him... Ahhh!”

”R1-W3, where are yo... Ahrghh!”

”Don't panic! It's just a jedi. If... just...he... stopped... so... I... can... shoot... him!”
