Jailbreak
That very night, Kenobi Hood, Little 'Soka, and their horses arrived outside the jail walls.
Fiesta wore a dark cloak and flew to get a better view.
The entire place was crawling with guards. Guards with swords, arrows, and guns.
On Kenobi Hood's signal, the quartet quietly snuck across the jail, careful to evade any guards who came by. The tricky part would be getting in the door, and the only key was on the sheriff's belt.
Luckily, Sheriff Viszla was asleep.
Peppermint used her magic horn to carefully undo the belt and swipe the key.
Ahsoka, on the other hand, knocked out a couple of guards so she and Kenobi Hood could swipe and wear their uniforms.
As quietly as possible, Kenobi Hood unlocked the door and let Ahsoka and Peppermint go in to free the others while the man and Fiesta would drop on the royal treasury.
Ahsoka and Peppermint quietly got up the stairs and found a door with a sign marked Sentenced to Death for Treason. And sure enough, Friar Yoda was in there.
Friar Yoda was asleep until Little 'Soka opened the door.
"Oh, Little 'Soka, be it can't!" said Yoda happily.
"Shh." Ahsoka whispered. "We're breaking everyone out of here."
"Answered, my prayers have been." said Yoda.
Ahsoka unlocked Yoda's chains and freed him.
"Now let's go free the others." Peppermint said.
Ahsoka managed to separate one key from the chain.
"You go free the other horses." said Ahsoka. "I'll get the villagers."
So, while Friar Yoda and Ahsoka freed the villagers, Peppermint got to work freeing all the horses and getting rid of the magic-proof balls.
"I'm ready." said Gabby, getting her bow and arrow ready. "Where are the bad guys?"
"Easy, take it, little one." Yoda chuckled.
And out the window, Padme smiled as she saw Kenobi Hood was alive and getting into the castle, no doubt to get back the people's money.
Fiesta flew Obi-Wan quietly and safely to the balcony of Prince Almec's room, where the prince was sound asleep, his entire bed surrounded by bags of gold.
Kenobi Hood shot an arrow with a long rope attached to it at a wall. Ahsoka grabbed it, put it through a metal loop, and then shot it again to help create a pulley system for Kenobi Hood to send the gold to them.
Kenobi Hood and Fiesta both loaded the gold onto the pulley as quietly as possibly and sent it over to the jail, where it was collected by the poor villagers and Ahsoka. The horses were loaded up too.
Ahsoka got onto Peppermint's back and whispered for everyone to follow her.
However, one bag of gold had a small hole in it and dropped a coin that woke the sheriff.
However, Ahsoka and Anakin both grabbed the sheriff and gagged him before he could shout for the guards.
Everyone quietly snuck out of the jail. Peppermint got all dark-colored flying horses to carry the kids out since they would be hardest to see.
Dawn was approaching fast.
The clock struck four in the morning as Kenobi Hood snatched the second to last last bag of gold from under Prince Almec's pillow. And then, he got the last one from Prince Almec's arm before swinging on the rope.
Unfortunately, that snatching woke Prince Almec, who then screamed for his guards.
Guards ran in, but ended up creating more chaos than anything else.
"Everyone, this way!" Kenobi Hood shouted.
All the villagers rushed to follow Kenobi Hood out. Thankfully, all the kids had gotten out safely. But, the grownups still had the arrows constantly being shot at them to worry about.
No matter what the guards tried, they couldn't catch the villagers, especially not with the horses fighting them off.
However, one guard shot an arrow that nearly hit Crescent as he was carrying Lamenta to safety, and the pegasus dropped her.
"My baby!" Caroline exclaimed.
Lamenta screamed as she plummeted to the ground. But then, Kenobi Hood jumped in and caught her in his arms.
Kenobi Hood ran as fast as he could to get Lamenta out of there.
Crescent swooped back down and took them both, but the guards kept firing away. Kenobi Hood knew the guards wanted him, and they wouldn't stop until they had what they wanted.
"Don't worry about me!" Kenobi Hood said.
And he leaped onto the castle walls once more.
Guards fired every arrow they had, every weapon, but all of them missed the target.
"This time," said Viszla lighting a torch. "We've got him for sure."
Kenobi Hood tried to hide in the castle, but found himself caught by the sheriff and his torch. They fought fiercely until Kenobi Hood made his way to the top of a burning tower. He had no choice but to jump!
Little 'Soka and Gabby watched from down below.
"Kill him! Kill him!" Almec ordered as Kenobi Hood jumped into the moat below.
The guards shot the last of their arrows as they spotted Kenobi swimming for his life. And the hero went under.
"Come on, Obi. Come on." Ahsoka begged.
"He's just gotta make it!" Gabby said, tears of worry and fear coming to her eyes.
And out from the water popped Kenobi Hood's hat with an arrow in it.
"No!" Ahsoka gasped. "No. No."
Almec cheered as he believed Kenobi Hood was finally dead.
The girls, on the other hand, had tears in their eyes... until they saw a reed moving in the water.
"Hey, what's that?" Gabby asked. "Little 'Soka, look! Look!"
Ahsoka looked where the little girl was, and she got squirted by the reed before something, or rather someone popped out of the water. It was Kenobi Hood!
"You're alive!" Ahsoka exclaimed happily.
"I knew you would make it!" Gabby smiled, hugging the brave hero.
"Look, Sire!" Haman pointed out. "He's made it. He got away again."
"A pox on the phony king of Mandalore!" Kenobi Hood and Gabby said together, taunting the prince. "Oo-de-lally!"
As if losing to Kenobi Hood again wasn't bad enough, the castle was now on fire, and a lot of damage was left too.
