Chapter 22: Certain Death

Ganodi POV:


Boba?


Everything was moving so fast. The Jedi Council had divided into multiple teams. One group, surprisingly accompanied by the Chancellor, rushed back into the city to aid the civilians. The other helped evacuate the Queen and her entourage from the struggle. The only Jedi left were myself, Master Fisto, Master Yoda and Shaak Ti.

The High Masters all worked together to help Master Windu, who was still dangling from the cliff. Using the Force, they levitated him and the attacker to bring them back to safety. As soon as the man touched the ground, he used a flamethrower to push the Masters back. The Mandalorian used his jetpack to flee. Suddenly, a shot fired caused the jetpack to malfunction and fly out of control before he crashed. I looked back and saw a clone captain and his squad. He was clearly furious.

Surrounded, the bounty hunter activated a button on his gauntlet, and the ground shook underneath the pressure of a third and fourth quickly succeeding explosions.


I hit the ground as the earth shook... this feels familiar... I rose to my feet and looked up at the sky. The sun... blinded my face. The beams of sunlight swirled through the dust of the blasts.


The members of the council are protecting Mace Windu. The clones prevented his escape through the air. With a distraction like a powerful enough explosion, his only means of escape would be to go through-

"Me."

I turned my head just in time to see the Mandalorian hunter leap towards me, drawing a dagger from his belt. As the knife glinted, I prepared to use the Force to push him away, but before I could react, he shoved me back with his right hand, and then I was violently pushed to the ground from behind.

I gasped as I hit the floor. For a moment, I thought he was coming back at me, and I looked up to defend myself until I realized I had been here before. Swiftly looking up, I saw Zatt.


No...


He looked up from the blade deeply plunged into his chest, seeing nothing but his reflection through the man's visor before his arms dropped alongside his chest.

"ZAAAATT!!"

Just as he was about to hit the ground, Master Fisto jumped to his knees and caught Zatt in his arms. I heard the sounds of multiple lightsabers igniting and voices making summations. All I could focus on was my best friend, bleeding out with a knife in his chest. I crawled to him as Master Fisto tried to keep him awake.


Why did he do this? Why? Why did he do this?


I cupped his face so he could focus on me so I could keep him awake. Zatt cannot die! Not like in my vision! He can't die!

"Zatt! No!" His eyes started closing. NO! DON'T YOU DARE! "Don't go! Zatt!"

A trail of blood poured down his chin as he parted his lips. I felt his hand press against my cheek as he tried to speak.

"Ganodi... I-"

The feeling of the palm of his fingers slowly left my face as his presence in the Force called out one last time before fading away like candlelight. I impatiently waited for him to move again. I called his name, but he did not answer me. Then, as a scream I could not hold back escaped my lungs! His presence in my mind drained away as I spiralled out of control!


He is dead...
