Chapter 3

Garith flew over the dessert of Gafigan in his red and white striped two-man ship. The ten engines and storage compartment in the back added to the ship's size. When he reached Eastern Region, he noticed several figures moving on the black dust. Garith recognized a spider droid moving away from the main fight, distracted by something he could not see from his height. As he got closer, Garith recognized evil General Greivous. When he landed, Garith saw Jedi Master Ahoska, another team member that Garith rarely saw because she was often away exploring new places. A good trooper was distracting the spider droid, often turning around and firing a few shots at the droid. Garith turned to Ahoska and Grievous. Ahoska talked the entire time she fought. "You are seriously the worst fighter ever! This entire duel you haven't harmed me once, even though you have four lightsabers and I only have one!" She jumped over Grievous's thrust. "Take this! You don't know a single thing about lightsaber fighting!" At this point, Garith decided that Ahoska did not need help started to attack the spider droid.

As he turned to face the droid, his light saber flickered and then shut off leaving Garith unarmed and only feet away from the monstrous beast. "Dang batteries," Garith mumbled under his breath. "Next time I'm getting Duracell." Without a weapon, Garith was left with nothing but his hands and his brain. "How 'bout some help!" Garith shouted to the Good Trooper who was standing to his left. The Trooper sprang into action and tossed Garith his back up beam gun.

"Use this," the Trooper said. Garith caught the gun, aimed, and opened fire. His first shot hit the droid in the back leg causing it to stumble. The second shot took out his antennae, thus cutting off his communication. The final shot blew a hole in his head that was big enough to drive an X-Wing fighter through.  As Garith turned around and headed back to his ship, he remembered the original reason he had come here.  Garith got the snakes and scorpions and released them, then boarded his ship.

He was surprised to find Ahoska already sitting there.  "I noticed you fighting that droid.  Who are you?" she asked.

"I'm Garith.  I've seen you a few times already" Garith said.

"Are you Yoda's son?" Ahoska asked.

"Yes" Garith replied.  Just then the ship roared to life and lifted off. After only a few short minutes they arrived at the Jedi base.
