Star Wars: Reborn In The Star Wars Universe - Chapter 25

Bragra was running through a large and deep canyon! his master had taken away his lightsaber and she had unleashed a pack of wild beasts to hunt him down! they were fast and he had a long stretch of the canyon to go! he could see his master overhead flying off in the distance, she had a smug look upon her face as she waved goodbye.

With the wild beast right on his tail and quickly gaining on him! Bragra gathered the Force to himself and used Force Speed! he accelerated quickly and was soon pulling away from the wild beasts hot on his trail!

After quickly pulling far ahead of the beast, he decided to stop using the ability, it was draining him fast and he couldn’t exhaust himself or he would be helpless once the wild beast caught up to him! he could hear their growls quickly coming closer as they rushed to catch to him!

With no choice he had to carry on, he had to reach the other side of the canyon! his master would be there waiting for him to pass this test. He kept running and soon found himself having to leap over a raging river! with no other choice, he once again used Force Speed while running at the River! right before he got there he used Force Jump! sending himself flying across the River and landing hard on the other side! it seemed he still needed to work on the landing.

Behind him, the wild beast had caught up once again and had tried to jump into the River, they were swiftly swept downstream but Bragra would see that they were still able to slowly swim their way across! they would end up downriver but he knew they would soon catch up once again!

What kind of canyon was this! it had a large River, a jungle in front of him! he could see that it had steep cliff on the sides and even farther ahead he thought he saw large streams of water every so often being shot into the air!

Having crossed the River he now found himself running through a thick Jungle! for the last fifteen minutes he had managed to reach far into the jungle without much trouble but now the wild beast had caught up! in the jungle on either side of him, he could occasionally make them out briefly through the thick jungle brush!

He suddenly was forced to leap high into the air and land on a tree branch above him! below a couple of wild beasts had just landed right where had just been! if it wasn’t for the Force warning him they likely would have successfully ambushed him! it seems the ones farther out in the brush had tricked him into paying attention to them, while a couple had managed to sneak close to him undetected.

With ground unsafe, he had no choice but to travel by leaping from tree to tree! the wild beast seeing this had no choice but to follow after him and started climbing the various trees around as well.

Bragra despite having to run while leaping from tree branch to tree branch was traveling at a quick speed! if he was only wearing all black and carrying a sword he would feel like a ninja!

After taking a quick look back behind him, he was shocked to see many wild beasts hot on his tail! they were swiftly jumping tree branch to tree branch just like him! there were also a few running on the ground beneath him! what coordination! they were behind him, on sides, and below him!

As he ran he suddenly found himself on the edge of the jungle and had no choice but to leap down from the tree, as soon as he landed a couple of wild beasts pounced on him! using the Force he managed to Force Push them away and sent them flying into the other wild beasts that had caught up.

Not waiting around he quickly used Force Speed and ran away, he was traveling fast when out of nowhere in front of him! a large column of water shot out of the ground! he could tell that the water was scalding hot! then he noticed that the whole area in front of him had erupted with many columns of water!

The area must be active with volcanic activity with a source of water running underground in the area as well! creating many geysers of scalding hot water to shoot out of the ground!

As he ran through the minefield of geysers he noticed that the steam was becoming thick, he was bȧrėly able to see a few feet in front of him, the air was burning up and was making it hard to breathe! it felt like he was in a hot sauna, and his body was covered in sweat!

Stunned! Bragra could only hear a fading roar as the beast was flung far away into the distance! every so often as he ran he could hear the howls of the wild beast around him as they were caught by a sudden geyser eruption! thanks to the warnings from the Force he was able to safely navigate through the minefield of geysers and reached the end of the canyon.

Using the Force he lept into the air and landed into her aircraft! his master only chuckled to herself at the angry look on his face and handed him his two lightsabers!

“well-done apprentice”, she said.

Asajj Ventress was extremely proud of her apprentice! what a find he was, Bragra was very gifted with a lightsaber and had taken to her teachings in Form Two Makashi, he was a very quick learner. In these last couple of years, he had soaked up everything that she had to teach. She was glad that he was like a clean slate and she was able to mold him as she saw fit, he was quickly becoming a powerful Darkside force user.

The test her apprentice had just passed wasn’t easy for someone who had only trained a couple of years! she was deeply proud of him and started considering bringing him along on her missions.
