[Anakin's pov]
Dev sits in the drivers seat of the speeder he's bought. A three-seater, a spot for mom and I on either side of him.
"You like?" He asks flashing us a grin.
He's always doing things like this, we don't even know where he got the speeder from. I hope I get to drive it.
"Ani you drive." Tossing me the keys he helps mom into the vehicle.
"Really? I mean,of course." I say calming my nerves. "I'll get us there quick." My senses flare before I feel a smack to back of my head.
"Get us there safely, I don't want any mishaps." Dev then sits next to mom and puts on goggles for them both, as I take of for the desert.
[Devrin pov]
The heat and sand Tatooine stretches for miles as we make our way towards the pull of the force, only stopping for rest and maintenance.
Anakin, our driver, speaks up. "You sure there something out here? All I see is sand, sand, and more sand."
"There should be, I can feel it now too." Mom says look around the desert. "It's toward that rock formation over there."
"That's where my senses are telling me, but now it feels weird." I think mom senses something else. Focusing, I reach out to the force, the call I've been feeling gets stronger. The feeling now loud and direct, as if it's been waiting for me this entire time.
It Anakin who pulls me out of it with a sharp tone. "I don't think we're alone." Ahh, that's what that's was. He hits the (metaphorical) gas and speeds toward the rocks.
"What do you see?" I yell turning behind us. "Shit! Go faster Anakin."
Behind us swimming through the sand, staring at us like it found it favorite meal, a force forsaken Krayt Dragon. Big, ugly, and very interested in our fleeing speeder. Looking back it has to be at least 45 feet long.
"Anakin if you don't push this thing harder it's gonna catch us." Grabbing the E-11 rifle from our pack I begin firing.
Pulling her DL-28 pistol, mom start providing cover fire. "Why is this thing chasing us?!?"
"It's a Krayt dragon, they eat any and everything." Exchanging gas cartridges, I yell "Anakin on my signal turn. Okay?"
He nods, refocusing on getting us to the ridge. Behind us the Krayt dragon, originally over 100 feet away, is quickly closing the distance. 70 feet, 60, 40, 20, then it dives under the sand.
"Anakin now!" The speed shifts violently to the left as a giant lizard head break through the sand at what would have been our location. Readjusting Anakin keep us going toward the rock, but the Krayt dragon is not giving up.
Now in pure pursuit, the dragons effort double, as if it was afraid we'd get away. The gap we just widened, closed just as fast. The dragon closing in fast leaves no from for fancy maneuvers, its sharp gaze looked onto our speeding form.
Think Dev what can I use to get us out of here. The blasters aren't working, this speeders two slow, and we still have to get something from here. Maybe we just try again later.
"Dev the frags." Anakin white knuckling the speeder, staying surprisingly calm for the situation. My little chosen ones learning, but no time for that. Clutching a frag grenade, the beast closes in again. 20, 15,10, dropping the frag in the sand I yell, "cover your ears!"
The frag explodes in the dragons mouth, taking out a chunk of flesh from the left side of the beast's maw. The force of which propelled out speeder faster toward our destination. The beast writhed in pain at it new wound. Temporarily forcing its attention away from us. I know it won't last but at least it's a chance.
The adrenaline of the chase, and subsequent explosion, has my senses on high alert. The ring in my ear severing as a stark reminder that I'm not invincible, shit I'm barley 11 years old.
"Dev look!" Ani yells from the driver seat. "It's a crater!" He points to an opening in the cliff face, seemingly torn open from intense impact. Now aproching the cliff face, I could tell the rocks fell over the top, whatever buried with causing their collapse. Surprisingly the impact left a direct path to the center, a center with a intense pull of the force.
"Let's go down we don't want that Krayt dragon showing up." I know that things not finished, just cautious l, it will be back.
We enter this crater? Carvern?…. It's weird, like a laser carved a hole in the rock. The over hangs making a cover from the sand.
Mom grabs Anakin before he can run towards what obviously appears to be a ship. "Wait, Ani have patience." I feel a pulse from her, the force quiet stretching across the area, her eyes closed in concentration. Opening her eyes " we the only things in here." She says smiling at us.
"Cool what was that!" Anakin, completely forgetting about the ship, jumps up in excitement. His ability the change gears never fails, let hope that doesn't come to bite me later.
Escorting them both to the ship I ask, "when did you learn that?"
"A few days ago, I was looking Ani and it just happened."
Adding that to the shelf of thing to ask qui gon about when he gets here. Time to focus.
In front of us stands, well maybe not stands. but what left of a old scout class ship, its cockpit ran clean through by the surrounding rocks. The hull sustaining massive damage from what looks like laser fire. Removing some of the dust off hull practically wedged in the ground reveals an insignia. The Old republic.
