Chapter Seven - Kijimi
I sat cross legged with my head resting on Rey's shoulder it would be another 20 minutes or so before our arrival on Kijimi. BB-8 rolled up to us with another droid in tow this one. One wheel with a cone head top. BB-8 had found him and charged him back up.
"Hello." it greeted
"Hello." we returned and I reached out to touch it but it rolled back away.
"No, thank you."
"It looks like someone treated him badly. It's alright. You're with us now." Rey told him softly. It saddened me that non blowed life forms were traded as such, that the were just purely scared.
-----
We landed on Kijimi and Poe told us to stay behind, he grabbed us some coats and brought them back before we disembarked. Kijimi was crawling with storm troopers and making our way to our destination of the blackmarket droidsmith, wasn't easy. Poe came back from scouting the area.
"There everywhere." he told us
"I could have told you that Genius." I retort back to him. All you could here was First Order ships and stormtroopers scaring the locals.
"I know what we should do." he breathed
"So do I. We should leave." 3P0 protested, which was understandable. But right now he was our only hope.
"Clam it 3P0. Follow me." He lead the way and we all followed on behind him. We came to a brief pause. "Right we should head down here." there was the sound of a gun cocking and Poe froze.
"Heard you were spotted down at Monk's gate. Thought 'he's not stupid enough to come back here'" We all moved to see who it was, i masked female figure held our friend to her will.
"Oh you'd be surprised."
"Who is this?" I questioned
"Guys this is Zorii. Zorii, this is Rory, Rey and Finn." every instinct in me wanted to fight, but fighting would bring unwanted attention.
"I could kill you right now."
"I've seen you do a lot worse."
"For a lot less." he removed his hood and turned slowly towards her "Can we talk about this?" he tried to reason with her gun pointed still to his head.
"I want to see your brains in the snow." she retorted back. I leant in closer to my sisters ear.
"What do you think he did. It must be bad right she is pissed." I whisper and she slapped my arm
"So your still mad. Zorii, we could use your help. We gotta crack this droids head's open and fast. We need to find Babu Frik." he explained
"Babu? Babu works for the crew and that's not you anymore." I scowled in confusion as my sister spoke up.
"What crew?" she questioned
"Oh funny he never mentioned it. Your friends old job was running spice." huh well that made a tone of sense to some of the skills he had.
"You were a spice runner?"
"You were a stormtrooper?"
"Were you a spice runner?" Rey wondered
"Guys that's not the point are you going to do this all night?" I retort to the three of them. "We have more pressing matters to attend to."
"We don't have all night." Zorii interrupted us "You know I'm still digging out of the hole you put me in when you left to join the resistance. You." her covered gaze fell on me.
"Your the one they're looking for. Bounty for her just might cover us." It was now I noticed that we were surrounded. Djak'kankah!" she called
"Don't Djak'kankah." I snatched Reys staff from her and knocked out the guys before they could hurt us then hit Zurii to the floor she raised her gun and I lit up my lightsaber.
"Like he said. We could really use your help. Pretty Please." I sassed
"Not that you care but I think you're okay." she replied
"Not that you care but I'm having a really bad day, so, less of the trying to kill us would be appreciated." I retreated and held my hand out to her. She took it. "Oh and yes I care." She led us through the streets
"Walkers, stay close by." she told back to us. We were lead into a underground club "Babu's in the back." We met Babu and he agreed to do this for us. We wired up 3P0.
"I haven't the faintest idea why I agreed to this." 3P0 stated
"Because despite the fact your a droid you love us and want to win the war. We love you for it despite the fact you can't read the room." I chime giving him a small smile
"Babu Frik. Can you help us with this." Babu replied but i didn't understand.
"Zorii is this going to work?" I called back to her. She conversed with Babu then tuned her attention to us.
"He said he's found something in your droids forbidden memory bank. Word translated from Sith?" she translated back
"That's it." i confirmed
"That's what we need." Finn added. Zorii turned to Poe who was keeping look out.
"Who are you hanging out with that speaks Sith!" she calls back to him, he comes over to speak to Babu.
"Can you make....Babu Can you make him translate it?" Babu nodded and Zori translated
"Yes but it will cause a complete..."
"A complete memory wipe." 3P0 finished. My heart sunk, if he translated the message then he would forget us and everything he's been through.
"Wait wait, if he translates he won't remember anything?" Poe questions. I really wanted to slap him around the head for being so dense, the clue was literally in the title. I held back seen as it wouldn't help the situation.
"Droid go blank blank..." Babu spoke like us. Which only freaked 3P0 out even more, to be honest I didn't blame the droid. I would be freaking out as well.
"Doesn't R2 back up your memory?" Finn questioned
"Oh, please. R2 storage units are famously un reliable. I took a hold of his hand and he looked at me. Friend to friend, droid to human.
"You know the odds better than any of us. Do we have a choice?" I questioned him, his fingers close around mine.
"If this mission fails. It was all for nothing. All we've done all this time." His gaze moved around to each of us in the room.
"What are you doing there 3P0?" Poe wonders
"Taking one last look, sir, at my friends." he answers and tears usher from my eyes. I quickly wipe them away and put on a brave face.
"Sad" our new droid spoke and then lights shone through the window.
"Night raids are going to start soon. I'll keep look out." Zorii went to Leave when Poe joined her
"I'm coming with you." the two left talking about trust which made Babu laugh.
