Terra looked out of the cantina window, her yellow eyes narrowed. She was looking for someone, someone that had evaded her for an annoying amount of time but wouldn't for much longer. After searching throughout the Outer Rim, she had come to the rather boring planet of Lothal in search of information. A Rodian on Tatooine had told Terra that a certain Imperial agent was stationed in the Lothal system and had the information she was looking for. That Rodian wouldn't be talking for a long for much longer though if he had lied to her.
Terra's plan was simple, and a bit destructive in nature but nobody would really care if a few Imperial shipments were destroyed. Well nobody besides the Empire. A small shipment of weaponry was being moved to an outpost on a nearby planet because of some rebel activity that had supposedly been going on around this system. So Terra had set up some explosives on the landing platform, hoping to attract some attention. Once the guards came to investigate the explosion she would take care of them in hopes of drawing out Agent Kallus. Simple and quick was the whole idea of the plan but so many things could go wrong. Terra didn't care really if she was captured though, that merely got her inside enemy lines so she could get more Intel and cause some damage on the side. "Either way…" Terra thought," I'm not going back on this. This probably is my last chance."
Little did she realize that a lot was going to wrong today, just not in a way that was expected…
"Specter One this is Specter Four. We're in position."
"Copy that Specter Four. Stay there until signaled."
Sabine put away her communicator and pulled out her blaster, waiting. Ezra sighed as he tossed a pebble around, rather bored," Sabine, why are we just sitting here? The crates are out in the open and there's practically nobody around. Let's just grab them and go."
Ezra couldn't see Sabine roll her eyes but he could hear her sigh out of annoyance without bothering to respond.
"What? It was a good question." He pouted and set the pebble down.
Sabine continued to ignore Ezra. A shadow suddenly caught her eye as she saw something or someone jump from a nearby building onto the Imperial garrison's roof before it moved out of sight. In the glare of the sun the Mandolorian girl couldn't tell who it was but it still gave her a bad feeling.
"Specter One, me may have a problem." She called in. Meanwhile Ezra had crept past the large machinery they were hiding behind, trying to follow a feeling he couldn't explain. He felt like something was going to happen soon, but that he could just count as being nervous….still it wouldn't hurt to check out the perimeter, right? Soon after he had distracted a nearby stormtrooper, Ezra came across a small stack of boxes which he was about to pass by until he received what felt like a warning from the Force.
"Okay, that's definitely not right." He muttered as he reached over to open one of the boxes, expecting to find some more blasters or other dangerous weapons but when he looked inside, Ezra noticed three things.
1. That wasn't a blaster
2. It was beeping
3. It was a bomb
Ezra swore and throwing caution to the wind, he ran full speed past a stormtrooper and back to where Sabine was hiding still. A thousand thoughts ran through his head but he knew one thing, there wasn't supposed to bombs on the platform except for the ones Sabine probably was carrying. So Ezra didn't even care as the trooper called out for him to stop and put his hands up in the air. He just kept running.
Sabine had just put her communicator away and was wondering where Ezra had run off to when, the young thief rounded the corner at full speed with a look of absolute terror on his face.
"Sabine!" He called out and she stood up looking for any immediate threats. Other than a stormtrooper running after Ezra she saw nothing else on the small landing platform.
"What did you do?! " Sabine asked as she fired her blaster at the stormtrooper and ran away towards where she saw Ezra.
"No time to explain! Just get as far away as pos-" He was cut off as a huge explosion rocked the platform. They were thrown through the air along with some rubble. Sabine was rammed into a wall, with a large, sickening thud and Ezra hit the ground nearby and rolled a few feet before coming to a stop. For a minute he just lay there, dust and smoke swirling around in billowing clouds from the explosion filling the air like a thick fog.
