Chapter Four - Of Runaways & Stowaways
On a ship out at sea, Zatt and Ganodi watch the birds fly over the boat. They hid their identities as to not attract too much attention to themselves.
Ganodi: Hey Zatt. What do you think would've happened to us had things been different with the Jedi? Like if the Clones didn't attack us.
Zatt: If I had to guess, we'd probably continue our training at the Jedi Temple until we were promoted to Padawans.
Ganodi: Do you think other Jedi masters survived?
Zatt: Honestly, I don't know. The Temple was hit pretty bad that night. Not to mention that those not in the Temple were out fighting in the Outer Rim.
Ganodi began to reflect on what had happened to the Jedi. She wanted to believe that there were other survivors, but there was no way to be sure.
Ganodi: I wonder if Petro is having any luck with Weiss.
Zatt: Knowing how well those two get along, I imagine it won't be easy.
Zatt glances over to see Blake standing over the rails of the ship across from them. Zatt and Ganodi observed Blake as she removed her bow, revealing a set of cat ears.
Ganodi: She's a Faunus?
Zatt: That explains why she's so passionate about their struggle. She must've been hiding those ears out of fear.
Zatt and Ganodi continued to observe Blake as she lets go of the bow and allows the wind to blow it out of her hand. As she moved inside, Zatt and Ganodi remained where they were. When Blake was out of sight, they made their way to their quarters to formulate a plan to approach her. As dusk fell, an alarm was heard.
Zatt: That doesn't sound good!
Ganodi: We better check it out!
Zatt and Ganodi reached for their Lightsabers and ran to the top deck of the ship. Once they made it there, they saw the crew as well as Blake fighting against a Sea Feilong Grimm.
Ganodi: Look at the size of that thing!
Zatt: The crew's going to need some help fighting that thing!
Zatt and Ganodi activated their Lightsabers and attacked the Grimm. Blake immediately recognizes the two Jedi.
Blake: Zatt?! Ganodi?!
Zatt: We got you covered, Blake!
Blake along with Zatt and Ganodi began attacking the Sea Feilong, but the Grimm proved to be quite the challenge. Suddenly, Sun Wukong appears.
Blake: Sun?!
With a smirk on his face, Sun activates his energy clones and bounce on the Grimm.
Sun: Not today, pal!
As Sun keeps the Grimm occupied, the Grimm lets out a mighty roar as the force of the roar blew Ganodi overboard.
Zatt: GANODI!
Without hesitation, Zatt dived in after her. Ganodi was in a panic as she didn't know how to swim. As she struggled to breathe, Zatt reached her and began to communicate with her telepathically.
Zatt: (Ganodi! It's okay! I can help you!)
Ganodi: (I can't swim!)
As Ganodi began to drown, Zatt realized what he had to do. With a large blush on his face, Zatt grabbed Ganodi and locked lips with her, effectively breathing for them both. Zatt then swam Ganodi to the service of some rocks. Ganodi was a blushing mess.
Ganodi: Did we just...
Zatt: We uh...still got a Grimm to take down.
Ganodi: R...right!
Zatt and Ganodi put their minds back on the task at hand as they aided Blake and Sun in their fight against the Sea Feilong.
Zatt: Need some help?
Sun: Funny, I was just about to say the same thing!
Blake: We need to take out it's wings and lure it towards the boat!
Sun: I mean, you're the one with the swords.
Blake sighed in frustration as she charged at the Grimm. Zatt and Ganodi used the Force to lunge at the Grimm. They then began to slash the back of it's neck with their Lightsabers. The Grimm's hide proved surprisingly resilient against their Lightsabers. Knowing that the direct approach wasn't going to work, Zatt and Ganodi then used the Force to influence the Grimm. While the Grimm attempts to fight back, the Jedi were successful in forcing it to fly towards the ship. The ship then fires it's heavy cannons into the Sea Feilong, blasting it to pieces. As the crew begins to cheer, Zatt and Ganodi approach Blake and Sun.
Blake: What are you all doing here?
Sun: I saw you run off. The night Beacon Tower fell. Once we landed in Vale, you made sure everyone was okay. And then you just took off, without saying anything.
Blake: I had to. You wouldn't understand.
Zatt: We know exactly how you feel. We understand completely why you did what you did.
Ganodi: But there's a danger threatening all of Remnant!
Sun: Aren't you two exaggerating a bit? The White Fang is dangerous and all, but even they can't threaten all of Remnant.
Zatt: It's not just the White Fang. It's not even just the Grimm. There's something far worse.
Blake thought about the danger Zatt and Ganodi were warning her about. She knew that White Fang were involved.
Blake: I....I just need to sort some things out.
Ganodi: Where are you going exactly?
Blake: Home. To Menagerie.
Sun: Well, I'm coming with you. The Grimm are getting worse; you saw it yourself! And just because you're not going after the Fang doesn't mean they won't be coming for you! Besides, I'm...kind of already on the boat.
Zatt: So are we. You can't do this alone, Blake. We need to stick together if we're going to face this threat.
With that, Blake reluctantly accepted the help of Zatt and Ganodi as well as Sun. As the ship continued it's journey to Menagerie, Zatt and Ganodi would prepare to aid Blake in her struggles.
