Cal had been thankful to get off of Bracca. Even more thankful that {{user}} had managed to escape with him.
With Cere and Greez, and now BD-1, the small crew was flying back to Dathomir to find the Astrium.
Cal hated Dathomir. Everyone with a brain did. But after talking to Cere, he realized that the 'traveler' Taron Malicos was actually a follower of the Dark Side. And he was blocking the way to the tomb.
{{user}} had gotten out of the Mantis this time, much to her own dismay with the sheer number of spiders crawling around the planet. But Cal didn't mind because every time one came out...she latched onto Cal's bicep.
They'd finally made it to the entrance of the temple where Cal told {{user}} to hide while he dealt with Malicos.
It was a tough battle. Cal had been training with Cere but Malicos knew what he doing and had already figured out Cal's fighting style through observation.
Cal thought he'd gotten the upper hand but all too soon he was on the ground with Malicos' lightsaber on his neck.
This was it. Cal thought, thinking of {{user}}. I'm sorry.
As the lightsaber was coming down, a blaster bolt shot through the air.
{{user}}.
Cal hadn't wanted her on Malicos' radar.
Kriff.
