《Sure Thing, Commander ✔︎》14

Ahsoka picked up Rex, bridal holding him in her arms. She gasped, Rex was kriffing heavy. Usually Ahsoka was strong, but she used most of her energy to heal Rex and she was very weak. It was extremely hard to carry Rex, especially since he was so big compared to Ahsoka. Once she got a good grip on him, Ahsoka walked as fast as she could off the ship.
"Help!" she screamed.
No one answered. Only the sounds of animals and the whistling wind could be heard. Ahsoka stumbled farther from the ship. But where was she going? She had no idea. She just shuffled as quickly as she could, searching for someone, anyone that could help Rex.
"Please!" she cried, "My friend needs help!"
Suddenly her foot caught against a rock and she crashed to the ground. Rex fell out of her arms next to her, and Ahsoka held her breath hoping she hadn't hurt the clone anymore. She looked back at the ship to see a lot more damage than she expected.
The ship itself was on fire, charred, and just completely destroyed. Parts of the ship were hanging by what seemed like a single wire, and every other second sparks flew of various places. The windshield was shattered, along with all the windows. Ahsoka sighed, they weren't getting off this planet for a while.
Suddenly something rustled in the bushes and Ahsoka whirled around, her blaster in hand. She put herself in front of Rex, if they wanted him they would have to get through her.
"I'm not gonna hurt you" a familiar voice said, "I thought you knew me better"
A boy with messy brown hair and blue eyes stepped out. He was holding his hands out, a smirk on his face.
"Lux?" Ahsoka sighed in relief.
"Ahsoka" Lux smiled, "What are you doing here?"
"Does that explain it?" Ahsoka chuckled nodding to their ship.
"I'm afraid it does," Lux laughed. "It's so good to see you" he began, going in for a hug.
Ahsoka flinched away and Lux backed up, clearly embarrassed.

"Oh um s-sorry" he stammered.
"It's fine" Ahsoka muttered, "I need your help"
"With what?" Lux asked.
"My friend, Rex," Ahsoka said, kneeling beside Rex, "He's hurt. He needs medical attention" "And it looks like we're going to be here awhile"
Lux cocked his head at Rex, "So it seems"
"Do you think you can help him?" Ahsoka questioned hopefully.
"I can't" Lux said, "But I know someone who can. There's a camp not too far from here, I'm staying there only temporarily." "If we get Rex there someone could surely help him"
"Thanks for everything Lux," Ahsoka said with a soft smile.
"Anything for you Ahsoka" Lux replied.
Ahsoka coughed out of awkwardness and began to pick Rex back up.
"Here let me help," Lux rushed in.
He put one of Rex's arms around his neck and pulled Rex to his feet. Ahsoka got Rex's other arm and Lux led the way to his camp. Ahsoka had mixed feelings about meeting Lux. She hadn't expected to see him again. She didn't really want to see him again. To be honest, she was sad when they parted last but got over it quickly. He was a friend, only a friend. A memory of them kissing came flooding back and Ahsoka shoved it away. She just wanted to forget that mishap. It was just to keep their cover, that's all it was. Rex would be furious if he found out. She was planning on telling him, Ahsoka just needed the perfect timing.
While she was walking with him, Ahsoka noticed Lux staring at her. She tried to ignore it but it got to a point where it made Ahsoka very uncomfortable. She shook it off and trudged forward, trying her hardest not to look in Lux's direction.
"Here we are," Lux grunted.
They came upon several large tents with not that many people bustling in and out of them. There were some children, but most of the people were either teenagers or older. It was pretty quiet with the occasional chatter, and the tents were under several large trees with purple leaves.

Lux led Ahsoka to a larger tent with two younger boys guarding the entrance. Lux nodded to them and the boys let them pass. Inside, the tent was full of cots and medical equipment. There were only a couple patients but it was busy nonetheless. Lux and Ahsoka gently laid Rex on one of the cots.
"We need a medic!" Lux called.
A woman with auburn frizzy hair pulled back into a ponytail, and a tired look dashed over. She began to examine Rex and jot something down on her clipboard. Ahsoka stayed near Rex, she didn't want to leave him. Not when he was in this condition.
"He's gonna be okay" Lux reassured her.
Ahsoka bit her lip and looked at Rex again. She didn't want to leave him, but she knew there were things that needed to be done. Like finding a new ship, or fixing the old one. He would be okay, she shouldn't worry he was Rex. Lux nodded Ahsoka over and Ahsoka hesitated before walking over to him. They exited and began to wander through the maze tents.
"What is this place?" Ahsoka asked, looking around.
"It's kinda like a refugee for people who have lost their homes" Lux explained, "Ever since the Separatists arrived they have torn this planet apart. These camps are to help people in need"
"Wow, was this all your idea?" Ahsoka asked.
"Eh mostly, I had help though" Lux bragged.
"That's amazing" Ahsoka gasped, "I feel terrible for everyone that's been affected by the separatists" "I tried so hard to help them when I was a Jedi. I just wish I could have done more"
"I'm sure you did everything you could" Lux agreed, "Everything has changed so much. Now the Separatists call themselves the Galactic Empire"
Ahsoka shivered at the thought. She didn't want to be reminded about what had happened since her and Rex had been away. She walked out from the tents to the edge of the plateau where the refugee was. The sun was just setting, and the rays mixing with the sky made a breathtaking sunset. Ahsoka sat down on the edge, letting her feets dangle above the fatal drop. A gentle breeze played with her lekku and Ahsoka closed her eyes feeling at peace.
"Careful" Lux blurted out.
Ahsoka snorted, "I think I'll be fine"
"Just don't want you getting hurt" he replied moving his hand over her own.
Ahsoka went stiff and quickly pulled her hand out from under Lux's. She cleared her throat and focused on the sunset, rubbing her arms in discomfort.
"Ahsoka I can't tell you how much I've missed you" Lux started, "I've thought about you everyday since you left"
"Uh- That's sweet" she sputtered, unsure of how to respond.
"I'm so glad I get to see you again," Lux said.
"I'm glad I get to see you again too" Ahsoka mumbled, eyes darting everywhere but where Lux was.
"Ahsoka I've been meaning to tell you something for awhile now..." Lux started, fidgeting with his gloves nervously.
Oh no. This was it. Ahsoka felt the discomfort creep over her like little bugs. She clenched her jaw and tried not to show her fear.
"Yeah?" she replied.
"This is really hard for me to say" Lux said, "But I need to tell you"
Ahsoka began to breathe quickly. She knew what he was going to say, and she didn't want to accept it. She didn't want to hear it. She cared for Rex, not Lux.
"I um-..." Lux stalled, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Uh huh?" Ahsoka said, trying to get it over with.
All of the sudden Lux leaned in and kissed Ahsoka. Ahsoka panicked and pushed him off her. He looked at her with confusion then tried to kiss her again. Ahsoka scooted away from him and dodged the kiss once more.
"Lux what in the-" she started, "What are you doing?"
"Ahsoka?" Lux sputtered, "B-b-but I thought-"
Ahsoka heard footsteps behind her and looked back. It was Rex. She stifled a yelp of terror, while still relieved he was okay.
"Ahsoka" Rex growled, "Who is he?"

Fall of Jupiter
What happens when the most powerful man in the world loses his soulmate to a heart attack? What happens when an innocent woman is dragged into a world of magic, and superheroes? Who is the true hero of the story? Note: This is the first book I ever wrote seriously. (I even had a cover made before I decided against publishing it) I'd like to think my writing style has improved with practice, and the multiple other books I've worked on. It felt wrong to leave a nearly completed book gathering dust in my google docs, but I don't think it's good enough to be officially published. As a result, I'm putting it here instead where it at least won't be totally wasted. Eventually, I'll put in the last 10 hours or so to finish it for you guys. Hope you like it :)

The carnomancer
Jackson was but a normal american just looking to get by in life. unfortunately for him life had other plans as a terrorist bombing took place in the air port in london where he was getting off at. The resulting explosion killed him instantly, and now he has been reincarnated into the world of Rokna.In this new world of magic, monsters, and conflict join him under his new identity Adimir freelancer the adventurer half-elf as he seeks a way to live out an exciting life of researching new and creative ways of combining magic and science. But with a tyrannical empire beginning to prepare for a bloody war the signs of turmoil begin to loom on the horizon. Adimir will face numerous challenges. Both challenges to those native to this world, and against other people have come from earth. Author's comment: I'll be uprfont with you on the entire war thing that the description hints at. Yes it will eventually happen, and many of the strange and out of place things in the beginning will tie into that. Not that it will be explained until much later in the novel. In fact the first 100 or 200 chapters will be spent on the main character growing stronger as an adventurer before the entire war even begins to start rearing its ugly head. So for those eager for the war to kick off sorry, but there won't be a big explosive war so early. At least not with the empire (although if you read carefully you may be able to pick up signs of how close the war is with what happens in the story). But the wait (I hope) will be worth it as it will be diving into some of the stuff a otherworlder in a significant position of power could do with the right knowledge. With that little warning over with I hope you enjoy this novel of mine. Its my first actual attempt at writing a story for people to read so please keep that in mind. If you have any criticism please tell me. I'd love to read them and will be using them to help me in improving my writing quality as time goes on. Experience is the best teacher after all.
