[Devrin pov]
Finding mom in the hallway on our way out of the common room we make for the exit. The storage crate secured to a hover cart. "We can come back for the bigger stuff, gotta clear the way first."
Anakin sitting on the crate still holding the lightsaber. " how do we get past, the lizard. The frag only took it a chunk, and we don't have many of those left."
"We also don't have the firepower." Added mom. "The blasters didn't do much but make it mad."
"We just have to hold it still."
"We do what now?" Anakin looks at me like I just asked him to eat bantha dung. "How do we do that?"
"That doesn't sound safe?"
"Is anything safe on Tatooine? Look here's the plan…"
[Anakin POV]
Sitting in the passenger of the speeder, Devrin speeding across the sand in the driver seat. The metal tube in found in the ship clutched in my arm, our "ticket outta here", or so Dev says.
He slows to a stop, about a mile from mom. "You see anything Ani?"
I don't see anything, but I think of mom earlier, that pluse that she released in the crash sight. Dev always says "flow don't 'force' it." So that what I do, trying to copy mom, I feel my senses spread across the sand.
It feels like my hand is gently floating across the sand, but in my mind. I get a sense of power as the information flow through my mind. Open my eyes, realizing that I've only managed to go about 10 feet from the speeder.
"Lock in Ani," Devrin called pulling from my disappointment. "We got action."
I don't even get a chance to speak before the speeder takes off. It takes a second for me to realize that we're being followed by a dust cloud.
"Go faster" I yelled gripping the "ticket" tighter.
"No, today a great day, let's take a stroll." Dev yells back pushing us faster.
The wind whipping past us, remind me why we're doing this.
Zooming back to mom location, Dev slides the the speeder to a stop. We jump out in position in front of mom.
"We lift together!" Dev yells.
I take my stance, looking forward at the approaching beast.
"On three. One." My fist tighten once more, the tube bringing me security. "Two." No turning back now.
[shmi pov]
"Three!" Dev yells. Well all try and stop the oncoming beast. The force flowed through us like a river. The current far more powerful than anything I've felt on my own.
The sense of full full control over the beast quickly overshadowed by the constant pressure I feel in my mind, the weight of the beast a constant reminder of the task at hand.
"Anakin hurry." Yells Dev, probably under just as much stress as me. "We can't hold it for long."
Anakin climbs up the beast back, standing on its head, still half submerged in the sand. Placing the tool, Devrin claims is important, on the beasts head.
The plan is simple, stop it in place, Anakin sticks the cylinder it into its head. Give it a twirl, and stick a grenade in the new hole. Simple, and hopefully effective.
Anakin starts the tool, a buzzing sound right before the sound of searing flesh. The beast roars in pain, our grip on the beast faltering. Ani has to hurry.
Looking back towards Ani, currently gripping a frag grenade, looking so small on top of the large beast. He slams his hand down on the beast head.
In that moment the beast breaks our hold.
[Devrin pov]
Fuck mom, you can't drop it now. I pull Anakin with the force, but it's not enough. I'm drained from holding the stupid lizard. Said lizard thrashing ow that our hold on him is gone.
Reaching in the air, pulling the last dregs force through my body, I grab Anakin. The energy is fleeting, I can't control Anakin, he slams into my chest knocking us both to the ground.
Mom runs over trying to grab us both. "Take Ani, I'm right behind you." She picks up Ani and takes off for the speeder. I most certainly was not right behind her.
Catching Ani broke at least two ribs, maybe more. I can barley breathe, let alone run. Light saber previously in Ani's hand, now lay destroyed, years of being in a wall apparent. The beast stops thrashing finding out I'm still here.
"Damn I didn't even make it to the first movie, guess I wasn't good enough."
A force yanks me back, my body a ragdoll sailing through the air. Mom and Ani pulled me out . Catching me in the passenger seat of the speeder, Ani pulls me tight, His grip unwavering as mom take off in the speeder.
An explosion goes off behind as I black out.
____________________________________
Standing over the corpse of the Krayt dragon we somehow managed to kill (i Don't believe the force didn't have something to do with that), my right arm in a sling on account of my brother slamming into me a Mach 10.
Mom and Ani stand at it belly in protective gear with two "recycled" protocol droids. "You sure about this Dev?" Ani asks with a look that makes me want to hit him.
"Just do it, you want a light saber don't you?" I yell back.
"But-"
"I guess you don't."
"Okay, OKAY. But if your lying to-"
Mom interrupts him by starting, forcing him to focus. "Enough complaining, I'm doing it too. Besides, you know he would be right here if he could."
"What out force stomach acid" I chime in. "Drain it then reach inside, you should find pearls."
Mom and Anakin slowly follow my instructions and begin pulling out pearls, way to many pearls. When they stopped finding them we had 8 smaller pearls and 4 giant pearls and three medium size pearls. All true Krayt dragon pearls, meaning they're force sensitive.
There has to be a mine somewhere on this planet, Info for later.
"Put the large and medium ones in the cargo lift, but leave the smaller ones." Placing the pearls on the table I ask the both to them to pick what calls to them.
Ani reach down quickly grabbing a royal blue pearl, seemingly afraid he wouldn't be fast enough.
Mom reaches down slowly and picks a soft pink pearl. Holding it to the sky, as if to see it clearly.
I reach for the one I've been staring at since it was pulled out of the dragon. A deep purple pearl, stained with blood, but fought for with my family.
Anakin pulls out the broken saber. He found it under the dragon, most likely protecting it from the blast. Removing the kyber crystal and placing it to the side, he starts to take apart the broken light saber.
Pieces float in the air as the light saber disassembles itself, each piece's purpose becoming clearer in his mind.
I'm not ready for the future yet, but I'll have to be. Besides, the force is with us.
