  "writing": "“when all hope is lost, a true hero gives hope.” \n\n\n\nStranded on an alien world, the young human had already found two droids to keep him company. He was desperately searching for food and water and was still thinking about that dream he had and what it meant, but he had a bad feeling that it wasn’t gonna be good.\n\nI raced across the dunes of this unforgiving planet And kept my eyes open for any near by towns, scrap yards, and that boy I saw before. I was Still trying to figure out who that boy was and how he fits into my situation. I was inside the jumbo and was looking through the junk I collected seeing what I had. all I found so far was a bunch of spare parts and random things,  and the only thing I had was a half dead blaster for a weapon. I didn’t know how many shots I had left in it but I knew it probably wasn’t much. “Saber what is the probability to finding a settlement with friendly people?” I asked him and he thinkers for a few moments. “About 4987 to one sir.” He replied and I sighed and just keep going on my speeder, along with my giant astromech following behind us. “Great, we will need to find water and fast, you most likely already know that humans can’t live long without water and jumbo’s water tank is nearly empty.”\n\nAs the sun slowly sets over the dunes I pull to a stop and turn my speeder off, I look around to check the area. “Might as well set up camp here, do we have anything to start a fire?” I asked both of them and jumbo shakes his head. “No sir, how ever we can superheat a rock and it will perform the same function.” Saber says as he gets a pretty large rock and jumbo gets a cutting laser and starts heating the rock up till it was glowing bright red, I sit down near it and just pull out the half pack of a candy bar I had and finished it. “You have any food jumbo? And how much water do you have left?” I asked and he beeps and boops in response. “About 10 gallons of water left and he has some emergency rations in his storage box but he has only 5 ration packs left.” Says saber. “Eh better than nothing.” He pops his storage box open and I take out the pack with green dust in it. “...Is it supposed to look like this? It looks like a narcotic on my planet.” \n\nSaber nods. “Yes sir, that is how it normally looks in this form, but you add a little water to it and it grows into a very nutrient rich bread. They last for decades before they spoil.” I look at it and shrug, looking for something to put some water in, finding an old metal plate and had jumbo beat it into a bowl, he then puts some water in it and I add the green dust and mixed it in, then it swelled and became green bread. I take the thing and sniff it. “It smells funny.” I pull a piece off and eat it, I study the taste for a moment and shrug, then start eating the thing. “It’s alright, has a bit of a metallic taste to it but i'm not really in a spot to be picky about food at the moment.” I keep eating the bread till I finished it off, i sit down on a rock and look up at the night’s sky...it was just so alien to me, so many unknown stars, and the twin moons looking down on the planet. It made me feel really small. “...Hey what is this planet called? I never asked.” I asked saber. “We are on the planet mondas 2, one of many desert planets in the system.” \n\nI sit there and nod. “Interesting, never heard of the mondas system, does this planet have a moisture farm? Or underground spring water?” I ask saber and he thinks about that. “I believe so, if there is one jumbo’s sensors can track it...I think, he’s a pretty old droid and his sensors may not be at their best.” Jumbo turned his head to saber and said something insulting. “How dare you, I’ll have you know I was the top of the line model on coruscant, I was once owned by a very wealthy king as his personal assistant.” Jumbo then made another comment about scarab’s maker. “I”LL HAVE YOU KNOW MY MAKER WAS A GENIUS!” He said and got rup up to jumbo.” How dare you insult the man that made me.” I then get up and pushed them apart. “KNOCK IT OFF BOTH OF YOU! You're acting like 3 year olds.” Jumbo responds to who started it. “Well i'm ending it! Honestly I have enough to worry about without you two acting like children.” I shout to both of them and I just hold the bridge of my nose and shake my head. \n\nI pick up my things and put them in my bag, pulling out a cloak. “I'm going to sleep now, try not to fight ok?” I ask them as i get inside jumbo and get comfy, turning the monitors off. ”Good night boys.” I closed my eyes as they kept their sensors peeled for any potential raiders, as I sleep I had that dream again, I was in an arena, fighting a giant alien armed with a heated ax of some kind, the crowd was all blurry and as the fight neared its end I lose my right arm and i heard a girl’s voice try to warn me, it was the only voice I heard clearly, I woke up in the middle of the night and looked around, then I sigh and rubbed my face. “That same damn dream, why am I having it?” I asked myself as jumbo went into low power mode to save power, I take my phone out and turn on the voice recording application. “Tony goad personal log, day 6, me and my droids have been constantly traveling across this planet called Mondas 2 in search for a town or settlement, so far we haven't had any luck...and this is the 6th knight I’ve had the same dream of fighting for something and losing one of my arms, at first I just thought it was caused by a lack of water or heat exhaustion, but now I think it's a premonition of some kind. Some kind of mental message warning me about a future event..but I have no clue what causes this event...and I'm scared to \nfind out.” I end the log and fall back asleep.\n\nAs I sleep till morning I was woken up by a very low rumble, I rubbed my eyes as the rumble got stronger and louder. “Jumbo what are you doing?” I asked sleepily and he responds that he wasn’t doing anything, then showed a large group of something heading their way, I looked at it then got out of him and looked in that direction. “What the hell?” I looked around and saw a huge herd of outrage like birds running across the sand. “...I’ve seen this episode, “a sunny day in the void, oh this is perfect!!” I get my stuff and get the speeder started up. “Saber get on! Jumbo! Follow them!” I shout and race off after them, staying back a little bit to avoid scaring them. “Sir what are you hoping to do by following these animals?” Asks saber as he holds on tight, I just fallow the birds as we race across the wastelands. “It's a thing I saw in a video file called a sunny day in the void, a man named Meebur Gascon was stuck on planet abathar otherwise known as the void with 5 droids, 4 astromechs and a dum series pit droid, they followed a bunch of birds that lived there to a town set up near a source of water, if we follow these birds they should take is directly to a nearby town...I hope.” We keep following the birds for hours.\n\nJust as we're about to give up the chase I saw something up ahead, it looks like a small village maybe a town. “Can you see that? up ahead it looks like a town.” Save looks and nods. “Yes sir, that's fair have, a trading town.” He says and I race ahead of the birds towards the town. “PERFECT! Maybe we can find a way off this god forsaken planet.” I head into town and slowed down, going at a slow speed and I looked around, seeing a ton of aliens and people going about their day and I just stay out of every ones way. “Wow, this place is amazing, I wonder if anyone has a ship we can ride on.” I say and jumbo made a bunch of beeps saying he knew an old place that might have a ship. “Well lead the way big guy.” I followed him through town, a bunch of jawa’s were eyeing him, saber, and my speeder, once at the shop I parked my speeder out front and took a vital part to make it run so no one can run off with it, then some jawa came over and rubbed the side of it. “AH! Hey back off! That's mine! Go find some other junk to salvage!” The jawa runs off babbling and I shake my head. “Jumbo wait here, don't let anyone touch the speeder.\n\nMe and saber head into the ship and looked around at all the junk, but it felt….hauntingly familiar to me. then the shop owner came out being a toydarian, he flies over and sits in front of me. “Ah tute cha nigh ya?” He asked in hut tongue. “He said how can I help you?” Says saber as he  translates for me. “Yes we're looking for a ship, we don't have much but I found some junk that looked important, though I doubt it will be enough for a ship.” I take my bag off and showed him the parts, he looks them over and thinks Then says his response. “He says no it's nowhere near enough for a ship, besides the only ship he has is a corellian ZZ 5000 prototype.” I think about this and looked at him. “Well mind if I have a look at the ship? See if it's worth getting at all?” The shopkeeper nods and says something I can only assume means he will allow it, he then takes us out back, as I walked with him I saw the huge ship, I was just blown away by its size, and it looked so much like the falcon from the movies to. “Very impressive, she’ll definitely get me out of the system.” I say and heard that laugh again and saw the boy from before...only he was crying, I Looked at him and saw a caged creature behind him, a small blue and white dragon, she was very thin, filthy, and shivering, when I blinked the boy vanished. “Hey, what's that?” I ask the shopkeeper.\n\nThe shopkeeper chuckled and told me. “He says that useless creature is a micro dragon, I won her in a game of chance, she’s been very useful for stress relief.” Said saber as the keeper kicked the cage and she helps. “Hey! Don't do that she’s already messed up as it is.” The keeper responded with a rather offensive comment. “He said she’s just a worthless animal.” I looked at him then to the poor dragon in the cage, I clench my fist and looked at him. “What would it take to get her and the ship?” The shop owner laughs and told me. “He says if you really want both of them you’ll need to fight my body guard in the arena in a one on one fight, no blaster, hand weapons only.” He then called for his bodyguard and I took a step back, it was that same beast from my nightmare, a huge dark brown figure, about 2 feet taller then I was, a bit toned, covered in scars and had one missing eye, and he was clearly from the planet mon calamari as he looked like a fish, the shopkeeper giggled to himself and flies next to him. “....Ok, I accept the challenge, how ever give me time to train,2, maybe 3 weeks. If he wins the fight you get me, my droids, and my speeder, if I win I get the dragon and the ship.” I say confidently.\n\nThe shop owner just laughs at my statement and tells me an addition. “He says if you win he’ll not only give you the ship and runt but 2 million keshles, but you won’t beat his body guard, no one has ever beaten him.” Says saber as the bodyguard growled. “We’ll see about that. come on saber, let's get going, oh and don't damage the goods, I don't like wasting my time on defective products.” I looked at her and smiled before walking to the front of the shop, where jumbo had a jawa by the hood. “Ok jumbo put him down.” He dropped the jawa who runs off, I put the part back in and rid off telling them my plan. “Ok we need to find someone to teach me how to fight with close range weapons, and we need to do it in under 3 weeks. I have to help that poor creature.” as I drive. Through town I end up accidentally bumping into some dug who grabs me off my speeder and throws me into a stand, saying something I didn’t understand. “Ow, hey what's the big idea?!” I shout to the alien. “He said you hit him and made him drop his drink, now he’s going to teach you a lesson.” That's when the alien attacked me and I rolled out of the way, grabbing my blaster and I tried to shoot him but he just smacks it out of my hand, I trip as the thug grabs a barrel and was about to beat me with it when it was shot out of my hand by a blast of...green ink?\n\nThen I hear someone talk in the alien’s native tongue and he backed off, I looked to the one that made the shot and it was a pretty tall drago/inkling/balkar hybrid who came over to me and helped me up, having a very odd looking heavy blaster. “You alright kid?” He asked me as I brushed myself off. “Yeah I'm fine, thanks for the save, and you the first one so far that speaks basic. Names tony.” I say as my droids come over with my speeder. “They call me S.F., you new in town?” I nod and chuckled. “Yeah, I'm actually stranded on this planet, woke up in the desert with an old ground transport, but through sheer luck I found these two droids and this speeder bike, I’ve been wandering the sands for 6 days with very little food and water, luckily my astromech jumbo has a built in command center, though why I don't know, that I have been sleeping in every night, it's not ideal but better than nothing.” Sf chuckled and smiled as saber came over. “Sir! Are you alright?” I nod to him and jumbo showed his concern as well. “I'm fine boys, sf, these are my droids jumbo and saber.” He waves at them and smiled. “It's very nice to meet you all, if you want you can crash at my place, my wife wouldn't mind taking in a few guests. Though your droid will need to stay in our garage, nothing personal.” \n\nJumbo understood the reason very well. “Thank you so much.” We followed him to his home and I put my speeder in the garage with jumbo and head inside, it looked just like the home from the movie but much bigger. “Are you sure shira-I mean your wife won’t mind.” He looked at me with surprise. “How did you know my wife’s name?” He asked and I just chuckled and rubbed the back of my head. “Would you believe I saw her in a dream?” I say and chuckled nervously, he just nods. “Oh yeah, she often visits the dream time for some enlightenment and ideas. And my son is pretty gifted in many fields, but a bit trigger happy during turf wars.” I nod and followed him to a guest room. “Do you know combat training with close range weapons like staffs?” I asked and he looked at me. “Yeah, why?” He asked and I sit on the bed. “Well I found this shop run by a toydarian and I just challenge to his bodyguard to a one on one fight for a ship, small dragon, and 2 million keshle, and I gave myself 3 weeks to train for that fight, the ship and money are just bonus items, I'm doing this to help that poor dragon creature in the cage.” SF just listened and nods. “I see, well your heart’s in the right place, I think I can help train you with help from my family, but I don't think 3 weeks is long enough.” He said and I sigh.\n\nI looked up at him and nod. “Maybe but any longer and that poor thing might end up dead before I can save her. I’ve seen animals treated like that on my planet many times and it just breaks my heart seeing that poor thing suffer and starve.” I sit there and he smiled, sitting next to me. “You're right, but what did you bet to get her?” SF asks. “Myself, my droids, and my speeder, basicly everything I have, I know it's very risky but I need to try, by the way he mentioned some arena, who runs it?” I ask curiously. “It's run by morog, a mighty Kaleesh warrior with a very high sense of honor, and he does not tolerate sore losers with no honor.” I listened and nod. “Ah a kaleesh, i’ve heard of them, well if I have any chance of beating that mon calamari thug I need all the training I can get.” I say as my stomach growled, I giggled and looked at him. “But um, maybe some lunch first? I’ve been eating nothing but food scraps and emergency rations.” SF laughs and nods, taking me to the dining room where I meet his wife shira leytan and their son Henry, I saw shira and just looked at her, having seen sergals online but never in person.\n\nI sit at the table as shira brought out some food for everyone and Henry sat next to me I smiled at him as I took a plate of the food, which looked a lot like earth food, I start eating. “So how did you end up on mondas? Did your ship crash or something?” Asks shira as she eats. “It's hard to explain, I was minding my own business back home when all of a sudden some portal rips itself open in my path, pulling me from my planet with bits of vehicles and a full one, and I wound up on this dust ball of a planet, I come from a planet called earth, it's very very far away from here And I have no idea on how to get back, I'm just trying to get off this planet and try and live a normal life.” I say as I eat, seeing a bb91 unit roll in and I saw Henry pat it's head. “Oh very cool, you have a bb unit, never seen one like him before, then again i’ve only seen one In a video transmission.” I say as I referenced the movie back home, knowing they had no idea what I was talking about. “Yeah, we bought him from I.A. A while back for a great price for my son’s birthday, but we don't have enough money to get a ship and we barely have enough for food but we're saving as much money as we can.”\n\nI nod. “Well if I actually win the fight you're more then welcome to come with me, the ship I hope to win looks big enough for all of us.” I say and finished my food. “What kind of ship was it?” Shira asks. “A corellian ZZ 5000.” They all looked at me in disbelief. “What?” I asked confused. “They actually built it?! The ZZ 5000 is the fastest, strongest freighter they ever made, but I never thought they actually built one.” SF says and I looked at him. “Well the shop owner said it was the prototype, so i'm guessing that’s the only one they made, I hope to learn about her specks when I get her, but what have you heard about the ZZ 5000?” BB91 showed a hologram of the ship and its internal structure. “The ZZ 5000 is a prototype high speed light freighter using a prototype faster than light drive, how ever the drive was very expensive to create and the ship overall cost too much to build, it is powered by a functioning quantum singularity reactor and is capable of going 8 times light speed using an alien concept of bending space time around the ship, the technology was proven to be sound how ever the parts and materials were not cost effective and the project was scrapped, the prototype was the only one ever made and has been left here at the junk shop with the hopes the failed project would be forgotten.” \n\nAs the hologram of the ship floats in front of me I was very impressed by how much space she had. And the living space available. “Amazing, so someone actually built a warp drive, my people knew it was possible to make one but didn’t have the tech for it yet, we basically came up with the idea that it was possible to actually bend space and time so it passed around the ship like a bubble in water, and if you went say 9 times the speed of light in a warp ship for say 5 minutes from this planet, only 5 minutes would have passed on both the ship and planet, nothing can go faster than light but space can do whatever the hell it wants. Though it requires a large amount of power to do, but we don’t have interstellar travel yet.” I explain and they listened with great interest, I smiled and kept explaining the idea to them. “And thats basicly the idea behind the warp drive.” \n\nI say and smiled. “Woow, your people came up with that idea?” Says henry and I giggled and nod. “Yep, but we also assumed aliens came up with the same idea long before us, but on my planet we never actually met aliens, and any one that has is either dead or is under government watch to make sure they never say anything, and anyone that has alien tech is taken in for questioning and the tech confiscated according to the roomers, those that do tell everyone that aliens are real are often called insane and their statements labeled as false. People on my planet are pretty crazy and some are power hungry, but enough about my planet’s problems, I think I should start training.” I looked at sf and he nods, taking me out back and starts teaching me basic hand to hand combat training.\n\nBut halfway through the lesson my phone starts ringing, i stopped and looked at my pocket, quickly taking it out and saw my mom was calling. “...can it?” I answer and told sf to wait. “Mom? mom is that you?” I asked and waited for a response. “Tony where are you?” Hearing my mom’s voice i just smiled and teared up. “IT IS YOU! Oh thank god you have no idea how happy I am to hear your voice again, i'm so sorry for not calling you for a week.” I say through my tears and just stand there. “Tony where are you? we’ve looked every where for you” I stand there and blinked. “Well...it’s...a little hard to explain mom...remember that strange thing that happened? The one that made the crater? Well...it got me and now i'm on an alien planet, i know it sounds crazy but that's what happened.” I say and waited for her response. “....I...i don't know what to say...how? why?”\n\nI shake my head. “I don't know, but i'm alive and well, but it's been a week for me, I’ll send you a video of where I am and the friends I made, but when and if I get home be ready for me to be a bit...different.” I say hesitantly, I hear my mom breath and then I heard dad. “Well….just try to get home tony.” He says and I nod. “I’ll try dad...it's just so good to hear your voices again...I’ll send the video as soon as I can. Which may be a few seconds for you...bye.” I then hung up and recorded a video of myself, my friends, and my surroundings, then I sent the video to them, I then put my phone away and wait for their call back, and while I wait I kept training with sf and got knocked over pretty badly, but I don't give up and keep going, after a solid 3 weeks of constant training i was as ready as ever to fight. \n\nI go with every one to the arena and looked at the huge crowd and saw the town’s leader in the main booth with the shopkeeper and the dragon in the cage. The crowd was roaring with excitement and I looked at the ring, which had a metal band that was about 50 feet in diameter, that mon calamari thug standing on one end and I felt really nervous. “...Saber what are the chances of me beating him and coming out of this alive, factoring in my training?” I asked and he thinks about it. “I'm afraid 7000 to one sir.” I stand there and shook a little. “Then let's hope I get out of this alive.” I walk out onto the area and stand there, the kaleesh stands up from his “throne” and looks down at us. “Choose your weapon!” Two droids bring out chests with various weapons, both having identical contents, the mon calamari pulled out an ax weapon with a plasma cutting edge, I look through the box till I found a very well known weapon, I pulled it out and showed everyone it was an old lightsaber, I then turned it on and it hummed to life with a glowing blue blade. “The rules are simple! You will each fight to the best of your abilities, whoever lands outside the ring first or dies loses, cheering is forbidden and you are allowed one weapon replacement should yours be damaged.” \n\nHe sits down and I get ready in a basic defence stance, he then holds his hand up and I grip my light saber tightly, he then pulled his hand down and a droid rang a gong and I charged at the thug and our blades clash, causing sparks to fly, the two plasma beams asking against each other and then the real dance started, I use everything I learned from training to win. I blocked and countered his attacks and made small cuts into his body, not lethal ones but enough to slow him down. Then when our weapons clashed again we talked. “You will never win human, you're too weak.” He says and pushed my blade to me and I pushed back. “We’ll see about that fish bait!” And with that I got his shoulder making him yell in pain and I keep going, but he actually got a partial hi in and got my left arm, I yelled in pain but kept going, and slowly I was actually starting to predict his moves before he made them. I keep going till I managed to get him to the edge of the ring. I looked him in the eye and giggled. “Well one more push and you're out, so much for me being weak!” And with that I get ready to finish him off and he managed to kick me back.\n\nI scramble to my feet and blocked his next attack and kept trying to push him back again. “I will not lose! I never lose!” He yells at me. “First time for everything!” And with that I got his knee a bit and pushed him over the line and the gong rings, the crowd goes nuts as the reigning champion was beaten. I walk over to the main booth where the town leader was. “You did not finish him, why?” Asked the leader, his skull like mask hiding his face. “I see no reason to finish him, he’s not my enemy, nearly an obstacle in my way, he is a great fighter I will admit and I respect his loyalty to his master.” The mon calamari thug stood up and hissed angrily. I looked up at him and held my arms out proudly. “I won the fight fare and square! I’ve earned my reward!” The leader looked down at me and slowly nods. “A human with honor, very rare. Then by the rules of mondas! The reward is yours.” Then the mon calamari charges at me and the crowd started shouting but I heard the dragon’s voice clearly. “LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!!” Then it hit, that was the voice in my dreams, but I had no time to think about it as the thug cuts my right arm off at the shoulder, I grabbed the carter iced wound and screamed in pain, trying to dodge this attacks.\n\nThe leader stood up and was outraged by this dishonorable act. “SEIZE HIM!” More thugs rushed him and he dropped the ax and I stand there shaking from the trauma, looking at my destroyed shoulder as the thugs dragged him off. I then look at the toydarian shopkeeper and point at him. “YOU OWE ME A NEW ARM!” I then passed out from the shock, medical droids rushed out to take me into the leader's personal medical unit where they treated my wound, but lacked the materials to build me a new arm, I won the fight but lost an arm in the process, but could have been worse.",
  "writing_bbcode_parsed": "<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>&ldquo;when all hope is lost, a true hero gives hope.&rdquo; <br /><br /><br /><br />Stranded on an alien world, the young human had already found two droids to keep him company. He was desperately searching for food and water and was still thinking about that dream he had and what it meant, but he had a bad feeling that it wasn&rsquo;t gonna be good.<br /><br />I raced across the dunes of this unforgiving planet And kept my eyes open for any near by towns, scrap yards, and that boy I saw before. I was Still trying to figure out who that boy was and how he fits into my situation. I was inside the jumbo and was looking through the junk I collected seeing what I had. all I found so far was a bunch of spare parts and random things,&nbsp;&nbsp;and the only thing I had was a half dead blaster for a weapon. I didn&rsquo;t know how many shots I had left in it but I knew it probably wasn&rsquo;t much. &ldquo;Saber what is the probability to finding a settlement with friendly people?&rdquo; I asked him and he thinkers for a few moments. &ldquo;About 4987 to one sir.&rdquo; He replied and I sighed and just keep going on my speeder, along with my giant astromech following behind us. &ldquo;Great, we will need to find water and fast, you most likely already know that humans can&rsquo;t live long without water and jumbo&rsquo;s water tank is nearly empty.&rdquo;<br /><br />As the sun slowly sets over the dunes I pull to a stop and turn my speeder off, I look around to check the area. &ldquo;Might as well set up camp here, do we have anything to start a fire?&rdquo; I asked both of them and jumbo shakes his head. &ldquo;No sir, how ever we can superheat a rock and it will perform the same function.&rdquo; Saber says as he gets a pretty large rock and jumbo gets a cutting laser and starts heating the rock up till it was glowing bright red, I sit down near it and just pull out the half pack of a candy bar I had and finished it. &ldquo;You have any food jumbo? And how much water do you have left?&rdquo; I asked and he beeps and boops in response. &ldquo;About 10 gallons of water left and he has some emergency rations in his storage box but he has only 5 ration packs left.&rdquo; Says saber. &ldquo;Eh better than nothing.&rdquo; He pops his storage box open and I take out the pack with green dust in it. &ldquo;...Is it supposed to look like this? It looks like a narcotic on my planet.&rdquo; <br /><br />Saber nods. &ldquo;Yes sir, that is how it normally looks in this form, but you add a little water to it and it grows into a very nutrient rich bread. They last for decades before they spoil.&rdquo; I look at it and shrug, looking for something to put some water in, finding an old metal plate and had jumbo beat it into a bowl, he then puts some water in it and I add the green dust and mixed it in, then it swelled and became green bread. I take the thing and sniff it. &ldquo;It smells funny.&rdquo; I pull a piece off and eat it, I study the taste for a moment and shrug, then start eating the thing. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s alright, has a bit of a metallic taste to it but i&#039;m not really in a spot to be picky about food at the moment.&rdquo; I keep eating the bread till I finished it off, i sit down on a rock and look up at the night&rsquo;s sky...it was just so alien to me, so many unknown stars, and the twin moons looking down on the planet. It made me feel really small. &ldquo;...Hey what is this planet called? I never asked.&rdquo; I asked saber. &ldquo;We are on the planet mondas 2, one of many desert planets in the system.&rdquo; <br /><br />I sit there and nod. &ldquo;Interesting, never heard of the mondas system, does this planet have a moisture farm? Or underground spring water?&rdquo; I ask saber and he thinks about that. &ldquo;I believe so, if there is one jumbo&rsquo;s sensors can track it...I think, he&rsquo;s a pretty old droid and his sensors may not be at their best.&rdquo; Jumbo turned his head to saber and said something insulting. &ldquo;How dare you, I&rsquo;ll have you know I was the top of the line model on coruscant, I was once owned by a very wealthy king as his personal assistant.&rdquo; Jumbo then made another comment about scarab&rsquo;s maker. &ldquo;I&rdquo;LL HAVE YOU KNOW MY MAKER WAS A GENIUS!&rdquo; He said and got rup up to jumbo.&rdquo; How dare you insult the man that made me.&rdquo; I then get up and pushed them apart. &ldquo;KNOCK IT OFF BOTH OF YOU! You&#039;re acting like 3 year olds.&rdquo; Jumbo responds to who started it. &ldquo;Well i&#039;m ending it! Honestly I have enough to worry about without you two acting like children.&rdquo; I shout to both of them and I just hold the bridge of my nose and shake my head. <br /><br />I pick up my things and put them in my bag, pulling out a cloak. &ldquo;I&#039;m going to sleep now, try not to fight ok?&rdquo; I ask them as i get inside jumbo and get comfy, turning the monitors off. &rdquo;Good night boys.&rdquo; I closed my eyes as they kept their sensors peeled for any potential raiders, as I sleep I had that dream again, I was in an arena, fighting a giant alien armed with a heated ax of some kind, the crowd was all blurry and as the fight neared its end I lose my right arm and i heard a girl&rsquo;s voice try to warn me, it was the only voice I heard clearly, I woke up in the middle of the night and looked around, then I sigh and rubbed my face. &ldquo;That same damn dream, why am I having it?&rdquo; I asked myself as jumbo went into low power mode to save power, I take my phone out and turn on the voice recording application. &ldquo;Tony goad personal log, day 6, me and my droids have been constantly traveling across this planet called Mondas 2 in search for a town or settlement, so far we haven&#039;t had any luck...and this is the 6th knight I&rsquo;ve had the same dream of fighting for something and losing one of my arms, at first I just thought it was caused by a lack of water or heat exhaustion, but now I think it&#039;s a premonition of some kind. Some kind of mental message warning me about a future event..but I have no clue what causes this event...and I&#039;m scared to <br />find out.&rdquo; I end the log and fall back asleep.<br /><br />As I sleep till morning I was woken up by a very low rumble, I rubbed my eyes as the rumble got stronger and louder. &ldquo;Jumbo what are you doing?&rdquo; I asked sleepily and he responds that he wasn&rsquo;t doing anything, then showed a large group of something heading their way, I looked at it then got out of him and looked in that direction. &ldquo;What the hell?&rdquo; I looked around and saw a huge herd of outrage like birds running across the sand. &ldquo;...I&rsquo;ve seen this episode, &ldquo;a sunny day in the void, oh this is perfect!!&rdquo; I get my stuff and get the speeder started up. &ldquo;Saber get on! Jumbo! Follow them!&rdquo; I shout and race off after them, staying back a little bit to avoid scaring them. &ldquo;Sir what are you hoping to do by following these animals?&rdquo; Asks saber as he holds on tight, I just fallow the birds as we race across the wastelands. &ldquo;It&#039;s a thing I saw in a video file called a sunny day in the void, a man named Meebur Gascon was stuck on planet abathar otherwise known as the void with 5 droids, 4 astromechs and a dum series pit droid, they followed a bunch of birds that lived there to a town set up near a source of water, if we follow these birds they should take is directly to a nearby town...I hope.&rdquo; We keep following the birds for hours.<br /><br />Just as we&#039;re about to give up the chase I saw something up ahead, it looks like a small village maybe a town. &ldquo;Can you see that? up ahead it looks like a town.&rdquo; Save looks and nods. &ldquo;Yes sir, that&#039;s fair have, a trading town.&rdquo; He says and I race ahead of the birds towards the town. &ldquo;PERFECT! Maybe we can find a way off this god forsaken planet.&rdquo; I head into town and slowed down, going at a slow speed and I looked around, seeing a ton of aliens and people going about their day and I just stay out of every ones way. &ldquo;Wow, this place is amazing, I wonder if anyone has a ship we can ride on.&rdquo; I say and jumbo made a bunch of beeps saying he knew an old place that might have a ship. &ldquo;Well lead the way big guy.&rdquo; I followed him through town, a bunch of jawa&rsquo;s were eyeing him, saber, and my speeder, once at the shop I parked my speeder out front and took a vital part to make it run so no one can run off with it, then some jawa came over and rubbed the side of it. &ldquo;AH! Hey back off! That&#039;s mine! Go find some other junk to salvage!&rdquo; The jawa runs off babbling and I shake my head. &ldquo;Jumbo wait here, don&#039;t let anyone touch the speeder.<br /><br />Me and saber head into the ship and looked around at all the junk, but it felt&hellip;.hauntingly familiar to me. then the shop owner came out being a toydarian, he flies over and sits in front of me. &ldquo;Ah tute cha nigh ya?&rdquo; He asked in hut tongue. &ldquo;He said how can I help you?&rdquo; Says saber as he&nbsp;&nbsp;translates for me. &ldquo;Yes we&#039;re looking for a ship, we don&#039;t have much but I found some junk that looked important, though I doubt it will be enough for a ship.&rdquo; I take my bag off and showed him the parts, he looks them over and thinks Then says his response. &ldquo;He says no it&#039;s nowhere near enough for a ship, besides the only ship he has is a corellian ZZ 5000 prototype.&rdquo; I think about this and looked at him. &ldquo;Well mind if I have a look at the ship? See if it&#039;s worth getting at all?&rdquo; The shopkeeper nods and says something I can only assume means he will allow it, he then takes us out back, as I walked with him I saw the huge ship, I was just blown away by its size, and it looked so much like the falcon from the movies to. &ldquo;Very impressive, she&rsquo;ll definitely get me out of the system.&rdquo; I say and heard that laugh again and saw the boy from before...only he was crying, I Looked at him and saw a caged creature behind him, a small blue and white dragon, she was very thin, filthy, and shivering, when I blinked the boy vanished. &ldquo;Hey, what&#039;s that?&rdquo; I ask the shopkeeper.<br /><br />The shopkeeper chuckled and told me. &ldquo;He says that useless creature is a micro dragon, I won her in a game of chance, she&rsquo;s been very useful for stress relief.&rdquo; Said saber as the keeper kicked the cage and she helps. &ldquo;Hey! Don&#039;t do that she&rsquo;s already messed up as it is.&rdquo; The keeper responded with a rather offensive comment. &ldquo;He said she&rsquo;s just a worthless animal.&rdquo; I looked at him then to the poor dragon in the cage, I clench my fist and looked at him. &ldquo;What would it take to get her and the ship?&rdquo; The shop owner laughs and told me. &ldquo;He says if you really want both of them you&rsquo;ll need to fight my body guard in the arena in a one on one fight, no blaster, hand weapons only.&rdquo; He then called for his bodyguard and I took a step back, it was that same beast from my nightmare, a huge dark brown figure, about 2 feet taller then I was, a bit toned, covered in scars and had one missing eye, and he was clearly from the planet mon calamari as he looked like a fish, the shopkeeper giggled to himself and flies next to him. &ldquo;....Ok, I accept the challenge, how ever give me time to train,2, maybe 3 weeks. If he wins the fight you get me, my droids, and my speeder, if I win I get the dragon and the ship.&rdquo; I say confidently.<br /><br />The shop owner just laughs at my statement and tells me an addition. &ldquo;He says if you win he&rsquo;ll not only give you the ship and runt but 2 million keshles, but you won&rsquo;t beat his body guard, no one has ever beaten him.&rdquo; Says saber as the bodyguard growled. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll see about that. come on saber, let&#039;s get going, oh and don&#039;t damage the goods, I don&#039;t like wasting my time on defective products.&rdquo; I looked at her and smiled before walking to the front of the shop, where jumbo had a jawa by the hood. &ldquo;Ok jumbo put him down.&rdquo; He dropped the jawa who runs off, I put the part back in and rid off telling them my plan. &ldquo;Ok we need to find someone to teach me how to fight with close range weapons, and we need to do it in under 3 weeks. I have to help that poor creature.&rdquo; as I drive. Through town I end up accidentally bumping into some dug who grabs me off my speeder and throws me into a stand, saying something I didn&rsquo;t understand. &ldquo;Ow, hey what&#039;s the big idea?!&rdquo; I shout to the alien. &ldquo;He said you hit him and made him drop his drink, now he&rsquo;s going to teach you a lesson.&rdquo; That&#039;s when the alien attacked me and I rolled out of the way, grabbing my blaster and I tried to shoot him but he just smacks it out of my hand, I trip as the thug grabs a barrel and was about to beat me with it when it was shot out of my hand by a blast of...green ink?<br /><br />Then I hear someone talk in the alien&rsquo;s native tongue and he backed off, I looked to the one that made the shot and it was a pretty tall drago/inkling/balkar hybrid who came over to me and helped me up, having a very odd looking heavy blaster. &ldquo;You alright kid?&rdquo; He asked me as I brushed myself off. &ldquo;Yeah I&#039;m fine, thanks for the save, and you the first one so far that speaks basic. Names tony.&rdquo; I say as my droids come over with my speeder. &ldquo;They call me S.F., you new in town?&rdquo; I nod and chuckled. &ldquo;Yeah, I&#039;m actually stranded on this planet, woke up in the desert with an old ground transport, but through sheer luck I found these two droids and this speeder bike, I&rsquo;ve been wandering the sands for 6 days with very little food and water, luckily my astromech jumbo has a built in command center, though why I don&#039;t know, that I have been sleeping in every night, it&#039;s not ideal but better than nothing.&rdquo; Sf chuckled and smiled as saber came over. &ldquo;Sir! Are you alright?&rdquo; I nod to him and jumbo showed his concern as well. &ldquo;I&#039;m fine boys, sf, these are my droids jumbo and saber.&rdquo; He waves at them and smiled. &ldquo;It&#039;s very nice to meet you all, if you want you can crash at my place, my wife wouldn&#039;t mind taking in a few guests. Though your droid will need to stay in our garage, nothing personal.&rdquo; <br /><br />Jumbo understood the reason very well. &ldquo;Thank you so much.&rdquo; We followed him to his home and I put my speeder in the garage with jumbo and head inside, it looked just like the home from the movie but much bigger. &ldquo;Are you sure shira-I mean your wife won&rsquo;t mind.&rdquo; He looked at me with surprise. &ldquo;How did you know my wife&rsquo;s name?&rdquo; He asked and I just chuckled and rubbed the back of my head. &ldquo;Would you believe I saw her in a dream?&rdquo; I say and chuckled nervously, he just nods. &ldquo;Oh yeah, she often visits the dream time for some enlightenment and ideas. And my son is pretty gifted in many fields, but a bit trigger happy during turf wars.&rdquo; I nod and followed him to a guest room. &ldquo;Do you know combat training with close range weapons like staffs?&rdquo; I asked and he looked at me. &ldquo;Yeah, why?&rdquo; He asked and I sit on the bed. &ldquo;Well I found this shop run by a toydarian and I just challenge to his bodyguard to a one on one fight for a ship, small dragon, and 2 million keshle, and I gave myself 3 weeks to train for that fight, the ship and money are just bonus items, I&#039;m doing this to help that poor dragon creature in the cage.&rdquo; SF just listened and nods. &ldquo;I see, well your heart&rsquo;s in the right place, I think I can help train you with help from my family, but I don&#039;t think 3 weeks is long enough.&rdquo; He said and I sigh.<br /><br />I looked up at him and nod. &ldquo;Maybe but any longer and that poor thing might end up dead before I can save her. I&rsquo;ve seen animals treated like that on my planet many times and it just breaks my heart seeing that poor thing suffer and starve.&rdquo; I sit there and he smiled, sitting next to me. &ldquo;You&#039;re right, but what did you bet to get her?&rdquo; SF asks. &ldquo;Myself, my droids, and my speeder, basicly everything I have, I know it&#039;s very risky but I need to try, by the way he mentioned some arena, who runs it?&rdquo; I ask curiously. &ldquo;It&#039;s run by morog, a mighty Kaleesh warrior with a very high sense of honor, and he does not tolerate sore losers with no honor.&rdquo; I listened and nod. &ldquo;Ah a kaleesh, i&rsquo;ve heard of them, well if I have any chance of beating that mon calamari thug I need all the training I can get.&rdquo; I say as my stomach growled, I giggled and looked at him. &ldquo;But um, maybe some lunch first? I&rsquo;ve been eating nothing but food scraps and emergency rations.&rdquo; SF laughs and nods, taking me to the dining room where I meet his wife shira leytan and their son Henry, I saw shira and just looked at her, having seen sergals online but never in person.<br /><br />I sit at the table as shira brought out some food for everyone and Henry sat next to me I smiled at him as I took a plate of the food, which looked a lot like earth food, I start eating. &ldquo;So how did you end up on mondas? Did your ship crash or something?&rdquo; Asks shira as she eats. &ldquo;It&#039;s hard to explain, I was minding my own business back home when all of a sudden some portal rips itself open in my path, pulling me from my planet with bits of vehicles and a full one, and I wound up on this dust ball of a planet, I come from a planet called earth, it&#039;s very very far away from here And I have no idea on how to get back, I&#039;m just trying to get off this planet and try and live a normal life.&rdquo; I say as I eat, seeing a bb91 unit roll in and I saw Henry pat it&#039;s head. &ldquo;Oh very cool, you have a bb unit, never seen one like him before, then again i&rsquo;ve only seen one In a video transmission.&rdquo; I say as I referenced the movie back home, knowing they had no idea what I was talking about. &ldquo;Yeah, we bought him from I.A. A while back for a great price for my son&rsquo;s birthday, but we don&#039;t have enough money to get a ship and we barely have enough for food but we&#039;re saving as much money as we can.&rdquo;<br /><br />I nod. &ldquo;Well if I actually win the fight you&#039;re more then welcome to come with me, the ship I hope to win looks big enough for all of us.&rdquo; I say and finished my food. &ldquo;What kind of ship was it?&rdquo; Shira asks. &ldquo;A corellian ZZ 5000.&rdquo; They all looked at me in disbelief. &ldquo;What?&rdquo; I asked confused. &ldquo;They actually built it?! The ZZ 5000 is the fastest, strongest freighter they ever made, but I never thought they actually built one.&rdquo; SF says and I looked at him. &ldquo;Well the shop owner said it was the prototype, so i&#039;m guessing that&rsquo;s the only one they made, I hope to learn about her specks when I get her, but what have you heard about the ZZ 5000?&rdquo; BB91 showed a hologram of the ship and its internal structure. &ldquo;The ZZ 5000 is a prototype high speed light freighter using a prototype faster than light drive, how ever the drive was very expensive to create and the ship overall cost too much to build, it is powered by a functioning quantum singularity reactor and is capable of going 8 times light speed using an alien concept of bending space time around the ship, the technology was proven to be sound how ever the parts and materials were not cost effective and the project was scrapped, the prototype was the only one ever made and has been left here at the junk shop with the hopes the failed project would be forgotten.&rdquo; <br /><br />As the hologram of the ship floats in front of me I was very impressed by how much space she had. And the living space available. &ldquo;Amazing, so someone actually built a warp drive, my people knew it was possible to make one but didn&rsquo;t have the tech for it yet, we basically came up with the idea that it was possible to actually bend space and time so it passed around the ship like a bubble in water, and if you went say 9 times the speed of light in a warp ship for say 5 minutes from this planet, only 5 minutes would have passed on both the ship and planet, nothing can go faster than light but space can do whatever the hell it wants. Though it requires a large amount of power to do, but we don&rsquo;t have interstellar travel yet.&rdquo; I explain and they listened with great interest, I smiled and kept explaining the idea to them. &ldquo;And thats basicly the idea behind the warp drive.&rdquo; <br /><br />I say and smiled. &ldquo;Woow, your people came up with that idea?&rdquo; Says henry and I giggled and nod. &ldquo;Yep, but we also assumed aliens came up with the same idea long before us, but on my planet we never actually met aliens, and any one that has is either dead or is under government watch to make sure they never say anything, and anyone that has alien tech is taken in for questioning and the tech confiscated according to the roomers, those that do tell everyone that aliens are real are often called insane and their statements labeled as false. People on my planet are pretty crazy and some are power hungry, but enough about my planet&rsquo;s problems, I think I should start training.&rdquo; I looked at sf and he nods, taking me out back and starts teaching me basic hand to hand combat training.<br /><br />But halfway through the lesson my phone starts ringing, i stopped and looked at my pocket, quickly taking it out and saw my mom was calling. &ldquo;...can it?&rdquo; I answer and told sf to wait. &ldquo;Mom? mom is that you?&rdquo; I asked and waited for a response. &ldquo;Tony where are you?&rdquo; Hearing my mom&rsquo;s voice i just smiled and teared up. &ldquo;IT IS YOU! Oh thank god you have no idea how happy I am to hear your voice again, i&#039;m so sorry for not calling you for a week.&rdquo; I say through my tears and just stand there. &ldquo;Tony where are you? we&rsquo;ve looked every where for you&rdquo; I stand there and blinked. &ldquo;Well...it&rsquo;s...a little hard to explain mom...remember that strange thing that happened? The one that made the crater? Well...it got me and now i&#039;m on an alien planet, i know it sounds crazy but that&#039;s what happened.&rdquo; I say and waited for her response. &ldquo;....I...i don&#039;t know what to say...how? why?&rdquo;<br /><br />I shake my head. &ldquo;I don&#039;t know, but i&#039;m alive and well, but it&#039;s been a week for me, I&rsquo;ll send you a video of where I am and the friends I made, but when and if I get home be ready for me to be a bit...different.&rdquo; I say hesitantly, I hear my mom breath and then I heard dad. &ldquo;Well&hellip;.just try to get home tony.&rdquo; He says and I nod. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll try dad...it&#039;s just so good to hear your voices again...I&rsquo;ll send the video as soon as I can. Which may be a few seconds for you...bye.&rdquo; I then hung up and recorded a video of myself, my friends, and my surroundings, then I sent the video to them, I then put my phone away and wait for their call back, and while I wait I kept training with sf and got knocked over pretty badly, but I don&#039;t give up and keep going, after a solid 3 weeks of constant training i was as ready as ever to fight. <br /><br />I go with every one to the arena and looked at the huge crowd and saw the town&rsquo;s leader in the main booth with the shopkeeper and the dragon in the cage. The crowd was roaring with excitement and I looked at the ring, which had a metal band that was about 50 feet in diameter, that mon calamari thug standing on one end and I felt really nervous. &ldquo;...Saber what are the chances of me beating him and coming out of this alive, factoring in my training?&rdquo; I asked and he thinks about it. &ldquo;I&#039;m afraid 7000 to one sir.&rdquo; I stand there and shook a little. &ldquo;Then let&#039;s hope I get out of this alive.&rdquo; I walk out onto the area and stand there, the kaleesh stands up from his &ldquo;throne&rdquo; and looks down at us. &ldquo;Choose your weapon!&rdquo; Two droids bring out chests with various weapons, both having identical contents, the mon calamari pulled out an ax weapon with a plasma cutting edge, I look through the box till I found a very well known weapon, I pulled it out and showed everyone it was an old lightsaber, I then turned it on and it hummed to life with a glowing blue blade. &ldquo;The rules are simple! You will each fight to the best of your abilities, whoever lands outside the ring first or dies loses, cheering is forbidden and you are allowed one weapon replacement should yours be damaged.&rdquo; <br /><br />He sits down and I get ready in a basic defence stance, he then holds his hand up and I grip my light saber tightly, he then pulled his hand down and a droid rang a gong and I charged at the thug and our blades clash, causing sparks to fly, the two plasma beams asking against each other and then the real dance started, I use everything I learned from training to win. I blocked and countered his attacks and made small cuts into his body, not lethal ones but enough to slow him down. Then when our weapons clashed again we talked. &ldquo;You will never win human, you&#039;re too weak.&rdquo; He says and pushed my blade to me and I pushed back. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll see about that fish bait!&rdquo; And with that I got his shoulder making him yell in pain and I keep going, but he actually got a partial hi in and got my left arm, I yelled in pain but kept going, and slowly I was actually starting to predict his moves before he made them. I keep going till I managed to get him to the edge of the ring. I looked him in the eye and giggled. &ldquo;Well one more push and you&#039;re out, so much for me being weak!&rdquo; And with that I get ready to finish him off and he managed to kick me back.<br /><br />I scramble to my feet and blocked his next attack and kept trying to push him back again. &ldquo;I will not lose! I never lose!&rdquo; He yells at me. &ldquo;First time for everything!&rdquo; And with that I got his knee a bit and pushed him over the line and the gong rings, the crowd goes nuts as the reigning champion was beaten. I walk over to the main booth where the town leader was. &ldquo;You did not finish him, why?&rdquo; Asked the leader, his skull like mask hiding his face. &ldquo;I see no reason to finish him, he&rsquo;s not my enemy, nearly an obstacle in my way, he is a great fighter I will admit and I respect his loyalty to his master.&rdquo; The mon calamari thug stood up and hissed angrily. I looked up at him and held my arms out proudly. &ldquo;I won the fight fare and square! I&rsquo;ve earned my reward!&rdquo; The leader looked down at me and slowly nods. &ldquo;A human with honor, very rare. Then by the rules of mondas! The reward is yours.&rdquo; Then the mon calamari charges at me and the crowd started shouting but I heard the dragon&rsquo;s voice clearly. &ldquo;LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!!&rdquo; Then it hit, that was the voice in my dreams, but I had no time to think about it as the thug cuts my right arm off at the shoulder, I grabbed the carter iced wound and screamed in pain, trying to dodge this attacks.<br /><br />The leader stood up and was outraged by this dishonorable act. &ldquo;SEIZE HIM!&rdquo; More thugs rushed him and he dropped the ax and I stand there shaking from the trauma, looking at my destroyed shoulder as the thugs dragged him off. I then look at the toydarian shopkeeper and point at him. &ldquo;YOU OWE ME A NEW ARM!&rdquo; I then passed out from the shock, medical droids rushed out to take me into the leader&#039;s personal medical unit where they treated my wound, but lacked the materials to build me a new arm, I won the fight but lost an arm in the process, but could have been worse.</span>",
