A figure came running to the fallen girl. He slid on the ground and grabbed her hand, 

"Nikki! Nikki, open your eyes!"

Nikki groaned as she slowly opened her eyes and saw a blurry figure in front of her, leaning over her, 

"Wh-What h-happened?"

"You idiot! You took on a Sith lord all by yourself!"

Nikki groaned and tried moving, but she screamed out as she felt pain erupt from her abdomen, 

"Hey! Stop moving! You got hurt pretty bad,"

"H-How bad?"

Another figure came running over to them, 

"Nikki!"

Nikki groaned, 

"Everything hurts,"

The first figure looked at the second, 

"Merrin, can you do anything?"

Merrin nodded, 

"I will try,"

She held her hands over the wound, and Nikki winced at the touch, 

"Cal, she needs a medic, I can not heal her well enough,"

A droid beeped from Cal's shoulder and handed him a healing stim, 

"Thanks, BD,"

He immediately jammed it into her shoulder, and Nikki winced as her vision blurred again, 

"C-Cal-"

"Shut up, we can talk after we get you help,"

"H-"

"I found you through the force with Merrin. Greez is looking for a better place to land,"

"You jumped out of the ship, didn't you?"

"Yes, we did. Now shut up and save your energy,"

Nikki shook her head, 

"I don't think-"

Merrin glared at her, 

"Shut up and let me keep you alive,"

Nikki sighed but nodded as Merrin kept trying to stop the bleeding from the burn marks left by the lightsaber wound. She now had a hole in her abdomen from the stab, which always cauterizes the wounds, yet she was still bleeding, 

"Did you really let a Sith stab you?"

"Oh, shut up, you bogling,"

Cal chuckled and looked at Merrin, 

"Is it safe to move her yet?"

Merrin sighed and shook her head, 

"No,"

Cal sighed and took off his poncho, 

"How about wrapping this around her and moving?"

Merrin sighed, 

"That is the only thing we can do, is it not?"

Cal felt a group behind them and immediately stood up and lit his lightsaber,

"I know you are there! Show yourselves!"

He first saw the six clones and immediately felt his heart stop, 

"Merrin run! I'll hold them back!"

Merrin nodded and carefully picked up Nikki, and started running. Fives immediately noticed the two, 

"Wait!"

Cal pointed his lightsaber at him, 

"If you even think about following them, I will kill you,"

Ezra jumped in front of Fives and lit his lightsaber, 

"Stop! We are on the same side!"

Cal froze at seeing another lightsaber, 

"Who are you?"

"My name is Ezra. Did you find Sora?"

Cal frowned, 

"Sora? No, I didn't,"

Fives shook his head, 

"Yes, you did! I saw your little friend carry her off!"

Cal frowned and lifted his double lightsaber in defense, 

"You are too young to have seen what those clones you allow near you have done to the Jedi. Leave, and I won't fight you,"

Ezra shook his head, 

"They are on our side! We fight for the Rebellion against the Empire,"

Cal shook his head, 

"Leave,"

Ahsoka and Kanan finally caught up, 

"Ezra!"

They paused at seeing the new addition, 

"Another Jedi?"

Cal scoffed, 

"All of you are traitors if you fight alongside the Clones."

Rex sighed, 

"We took out our inhibitor chips! We fought for the republic and still do with the Rebellion,"

Cal laughed, 

"This Sora, the one you know, if it is the same one I know. She would never side with the Clones after what they have done."

Ezra sighed, 

"She left when she saw them, she took a ship from the Rebellion and came here,"

Cal nodded,

"Then don't follow us."

He went to turn around, but he felt a disturbance in the force and felt pain that was not his, 

"No."

He took off sprinting, and Ezra was the first to follow him, feeling the same thing he did. Cal ran until he saw Merrin hunched over Nikki, 

"Merrin! What happened?"

Merrin shook her head as she placed her hands over Nikki's wound again, 

"The jacket, it's not helping her enough! She is not doing good,"

Cal clenched his fists and nodded, 

"Alright, we need to get Greez here, and get him to somehow land,"

Merrin nodded, 

"You contact him. I need to keep her alive,"

Cal nodded and raised his comm but was disturbed again by the blue-haired kid catching up and seeing Nikki, 

"SORA!"

Cal blocked his view of her, 

"Stand back, kid,"

Ezra shook his head, 

"She's my godmother!"

Cal's eyes widened in shock, 

"You are from Lothal?"

Ezra nodded with slight confusion,

"Yeah, h-how did you know?"

Cal briefly looked back at Merrin and Nikki, 

"She mentioned it,"

Ezra nodded, 

"Let us help, please!"

Cal sighed, and Merrin looked at him, 

"Cal! Listen to him. She needs help,"

Cal slowly deactivated his lightsaber and nodded, 

"Fine, but only because she needs it. When she is healed, we are leaving,"

Ezra nodded, 

"Alright, we have a medic. He can help get her stable before we move her,"

Cal nodded and bent down next to Merrin, 

"Merrin?"

"I'm okay for now,"

Cal nodded and stood up in front of Ezra, 

"Where is this Medic?"

Ezra smiled, 

"He's coming right now,"

Kanan sighed, 

"Ezra! What have I told you about running ahead?"

Cal smirked as he noticed Ezra get flustered, 

"Hey! I was following them!"

Ahsoka nodded her head, 

"What is your name?"

Cal crossed his arms, 

"Cal, this is Merrin. Where is the medic?"

Kix stepped forward after putting his blaster back in his holster, 

"I-"

"No."

Merrin glared at Cal, 

"Cal!"

Cal stared at Merrin and shook his head, 

"N-"

"Do not make me stop just to slap you,"

Cal sighed and stared at Kix, 

"If you hurt her more, I will kill you,"

Kix raised his hands, and Ahsoka narrowed her eyes at Cal, 

"You are very quick to seek vengeance for a Jedi,"

Cal stared at her, 

"I lost my Master to the Clones. I lost a friend to an inquisitor. And I almost lost everything to Darth Vader, so sorry if I don't trust the Clones with one of the few people who understand me. You learn to act before you get killed. That's how I survived. The only reason I am letting you do this is because that is her godson, and he trusts you. That does not mean I do,"

Merrin rolled her eyes, 

"Just hurry up, Medic. I can't do this forever,"

Kix nodded and bent down next to the three. He took out his kit and nodded at Merrin, 

"What are you exactly doing?"

"Stopping the bleeding,"

Kix nodded, 

"The jacket did not work?"

"It almost did, but it's not enough,"

"How deep is the cut?"

Merrin sighed and shook her head, 

"It was not a cut,"

Kix frowned, 

"What was it?"

Merrin did not move her hands one inch, 

"She was stabbed straight through by the Sith's saber. The stab may have cauterized everything, yet she still bleeds,"

Kix's eyes widened in pure shock, 

"She's still alive,"

Merrin nodded, 

"Yes,"

Kix took out a Bacta patch, 

"Alright, can you move your hands and still do what you are doing?"

Merrin slowly nodded, 

"Yes, but not very long,"

"Alright, when I say move, you move your hands so I can place the patch,"

Merrin nodded, 

"Alright,"

"Move,"

Kix immediately put the patch on Nikki's burnt skin where a small hole was, and he nodded, 

"Alright, I need to put one on the exit wound, too. Cal and Ezra, you two help move her to her side while Merrin concentrates, and I get the patch on,"

Cal nodded, and Ezra knelt down next to him. The two boys immediately moved Nikki, and Kix put the last patch on her back, 

"Good, I need to wrap her torso,"

Cal shook his head, 

"No, I can,"

Kix sighed, 

"Listen, kid-"

"No, she never liked other people seeing anything under her clothing. The only exception was me. She would easily throw me off a cliff if she found out that I allowed someone else to see,"

Kix sighed and handed Cal the wrap, 

"Fine. But make sure it's tight,"

"Yeah, I know. I've done this before,"

Ezra sighed and stood back up, 

"Alright, we can look away while you do that,"

Cal nodded his appreciation, and Merrin stood up and turned to the newcomers, 

"My name is Merrin. I do not know anyone's name except Ezra,"

"Captain Rex,"

"Commander Cody,"

"Commander Wolffe,"

"I'm the medic, Kix,"

"Fives, this is Echo,"

"I can speak for myself, Fives,"

"Sure,"

Ahsoka smiled softly at the bickering before stepping up to Merrin, 

"My name is Ahsoka. Are you from Dathomir?"

Merrin nodded, 

"Yes, I left Dathomir to join Cal, and...you said Sora, correct?"

Ezra frowned in confusion, 

"Yeah, that is her name,"

Merrin chuckled and nodded, 

"Yes, it is a name she goes by. What is your name?"

"Kanan. What name do you know her by?"

Merrin smiled softly, 

"We know her by her name,"

Cal stood up and walked to them, 

"Let's go. I contacted Greez, and he said that he will come to pick us up when we are ready,"

Merrin nodded, 

"Good,"

Kix raised his hand to stop the two from picking Nikki up, 

"She should not be bent at all, she needs a stretcher, get a slab,"

Cal chuckled, raised his hand, and focused on her. They watched as Nikki was slowly lifted up, 

"You forget that the force is useful,"

Rex sighed, 

"Alright, let's get her back,"

Cal nodded, 

"Lead the way to your ship,"
