3 POV :
I was flying the Ship to Dantooin, where me and Jar had to buy a few necessities like salt and so on. I saw how Jar was watching the space, and I tought back to my first time I was in the outer space. Aaahhh that were the good old days! But I wouldn't want to change anything from my current life. I had a loving wife, a son I could not be more proud of, and something I could call home.
But I think it is good we are going somewhere else. Jar thinks I didn't noticed, but he grew more and more restles, he would be out in the forest more and later. I think it wouldn't be long before he would make his own way in the galaxy. I knew the day would come, but I didn't tought it would come so early, I mean he is just 13! Well, I am not going to let him out into the unknown without being prepared. I already tought about our next season of fighting.
At first his mother was against it, but I made it clear that no son of me would be beated in a fist fight! He was already pretty strong for someone his age, I don't think anyone without a good enought training and experince could beat him.
I looked at my son who watched the stars, and I couldn't be more proud of who had already become and who he will become.
Jar POV :
We nearly were there. I could already see the pülaned, and we were just a few hours away from a whole new world and finally some other people than my dad and mum.
*Want to see! want to see!*
Little echidna was bumping against me to see something. Her girlish voice rang in my mind like a shrill bell because of her excitement.
When we were landing, I nearly jumped out of the ship with echidna hot on my heels. I was nearly ot when a strong grip hold me and echidna back and pulled us back in the ship.
"So listen kid, even when we are on a pretty unpopulared planet, don't"
"I know dad, don't talk with strangers, hold Echidna on a tight leash and be always in your eyesight. "
"Hrmpf, at least you pay attention when you get something told". With that he realesed me into the world. Me and echidna sprinted into the little village and looked at everthing and it was... it was...
Underwhelming.
I tought we would get to see cool spaceships, stormetroops (Even when there are not existing now) and in general sci-fie, so seing an normal ass-looking village was a little dissapointing. My father saw my expresion and had a good hearthy laught.

"Son, what did you expect? We are not on coresant or other big planets. That is just a normal village, with normal people, with normal problems."
I was going to be sulk, but then I heared the scream. My dad and me turned to were it came from. "Son, I will alow you to comne with me, but you have to follow every order to the worsd, do you understand?!"
"Yes sir." I said without hesitation. I know from hunting with my dad that when we were in a dangerous situation, questions are "yes sir" or "no sir" period.
We sprinted after the screaming, which I could identify as two feminine screams.
*Echidna, search them*
Echidna nodded and sprinted before us and we followed suit. After a few minutes we saw the source. A women and her daughter were harrased by a 5 shady looking guys. Echidna released a bone-chilling growl and the thugs turned around. They looked average at best, but one stood out like a sore thumb. He had a rat like face with the right teeth for the face. He also had a scar that wenz from his forehead to his chin.
He looked at me and my dad with a sneer on his face.
"Bois, loks like we got som moa bois who loks for som fun." He cracked a mad laught in which his lackais falled in. I balled my fists but my dad gave me a look to not engage.
"Sir, mabey we can handle this out? I got here 100 Credits, how about you leaf this mother with her daughter away ?"
Rat-face lookes greedy at the credits mny dad got in his hand "500, ands no less". My father sighted and gave me a sign with his fingers.
*Echi, take the the guy holding the women.* Echidna instantly went for him, and she and the guy went with him screaming to the ground. The guys were to shocked of the suuden change, and that costet them. My dad went to the two guys by the daughter, which left rat-face and another one of hios lackays. I got my blaster fast enought to get the lackay, but rat-face recovered suprisingly fast and jumped at me. We both went down and went into a muddy brawl. I was scared and shocked at first, that was my first humand life that I ever took, but I had not the luxery to think about that because rat-face was pummeling his fists mad at me.
My training with my dad kicked in and I reversed the situatuion. Now I was sitting atop of him and rained down a rain of fists. I punched and punched and punched. The guy under me was already dead a while again and tears where stream,ing down my checks. My dad had to rip me of of the dead body and just holded me. I cried like a baby. All the fears, all the sadness which had build up inside of me from the beginninbg I was sended here. MY death, the lost iof my old family, and now I had killed two human beings. I knew there were trash and they would have done really traumatic things with the mother-daughter duo, but still, there were humans.
My dad and me were kneeling on the ground there for nearly 10 minutes. Unoticed Echidna had sneaked behind me and was comforting me from behind.
"My son, I know that must be hard for you, but just listen. You have safed with very high probability two innocent life, and that for 5 lifes which would have doen other shady and vicious deeds. So don't cry about there deaths, think about the lifes you have safed."
I had calmed down considirably as he was talking
"Dad?"
"Yes?"
"Thank you"
