The whimpers and horrible scraping sounds that filled the air as they drew closer to the younglings sent a slight panic through Odette, hoping they weren't too late and that all the children were unharmed. She went as fast as she could, pushing herself faster and faster as she went through the roof tops and streets of the shining city that was Coruscant. Finally she arrived just a second after Ben, seeing a pack of animals surrounding the ship and the younglings. If she remembered correctly from the books she read, these creatures were Nexus. Very dangerous with razor sharp teeth and claws, as well as inferred vision. But with a poor skeletal structure as well. 

She felt somewhat helpless at this moment. Her saber was gone, down in a hole somewhere in the temple, and she had yet to build herself a new one out of the kyber crystal she had found. But there had to be something she could do. Even if she didn't have a saber, she still had the force. And it proved her useful when one of the creatures attempted to jump at her. She threw her hand up instantly and with a mental push shoved the beast away from her and into one of the metal walls away from her before jumping out of the way of another that came for her. 

Luke was helping to take care of the creatures as well. It was difficult with so many of them and just he and Ben with a saber. And at the same time, he was keeping a close eye on Odette. The girl had no weapon and he was worried she might put herself into danger by trying to fight without one. Finally, after slashing at another one of the creatures, he spoke quickly to her as she kneeled upon a pillar, kicking one of the Nexus in the head, [color=yellow]"Odette! Get to the younglings and get them inside the ship! Ben and I can take care of these beasts!"[/color]

Odette didn't like the idea of leaving them two alone to fight these things. She clenched her jaw, seeming very unwilling, kicking back another one of the creatures, [color=deepskyblue]"But Master! There's so many of them! What if you and Ben can't--"[/color]

[color=yellow]"Odette, this is no time for arguing!" Luke said quickly, and clearly he wasn't going to discuss it. [/color]

It was not a suggestion but an order, and as padawan, as much as she hated it, she had to obey. Thrusting out her hand again, she knocked another of the Nexus away from her and hopped down from her perch, using the force to keep the creatures away from her as she moved toward the younglings. The seven of them huddled there, fear in their eyes as they looked at the ongoing battle against the creatures, paralyzed with fear to even move from the spot they were in. It didn't take long for her to reach them and after knocking a few more of those creatures back, some dying from being thrashed into the metal buildings by the Force, the creatures were momentarily fixed on the two most dangerous people here, the two with the sabers.

This left she and the younglings off of their radar for now and it was her job to get them safely onto the ship. And so she moved quickly over to them, crouching down to their level to speak to them, [color=deepskyblue]"We have to get on the ship."[/color] They all looked at her, trembling, still seeming to be frozen in place, unwilling to move. She stood up straight, [color=deepskyblue]"We don't have time to be scared like this. If you all want to be Jedi you have to be brave. Trust in the Force and do what is right for yourself and others. And right now what is best for everyone is for all of you to get to the ship." [/color]

A few of them after her saying this nodded and ran quickly to the ship and she had to nudge some of them to get them moving. He youngest one, a little boy around the age of six, wasn't moving though. She picked him up and moved quickly to the ship with him, getting him on board. Once she had him and the others on board, she hid them away in the very back room and grabbed one of the blasters on the ship. Now that she had the younglings safely away and shut the door to the room in cast any of the creatures came on board, she was going to go help Luke and Ben. 

As she walked toward the front of the ship, she saw one of the creatures had managed to get on the ship as well and she shot it dead on the spot as it went to pounce at her. She went around the body and to the doorway of the ship, standing there and shooting at the creatures. She wasn't the best aim, since she was used to a saber, but she was sufficient enough at it to take down some of the beasts. After a few more minutes of the three of the taking out the creatures, it seemed like they were finally safe. She sighed, catching her breath after all that, and looked to Ben and Master Luke, 

[color=deepskyblue]"Why do you suppose these Nexus were so close to the ship? I mean, I know they can be very harsh predators when threatened or provoked, but it seems strange for them to randomly come out and attack like this..."[/color]
