OSSUS, NEAR THE OLD JEDI TEMPLE
Myzu's eyes grew dark. "No. You're the one who is about to die." He gritted his teeth and sprang toward Xander, signaling the rest of the tribe to attack. Obediently, the others dashed forward with belligerence in their eyes. The Chieftess, despite her age, was not about to let her tribe be threatened. She drew a ceremonial dagger from the long folds of her robe and joined the fray.
"Wait!" Tandra screamed, to no avail. She yanked Quaver close to her. "Stay back," she warned. "There's no way in this galaxy I'm letting you get killed." To her horror, the young boy was pulling out a lighter and grenade.
"Quaver..."
"Stop this nonsense right now," he said coldly, "or I blow us all sky-high!"
