The White Knight

What were we all fighting for then? He thought, as he laid down alone in a rotten ally way trying to get some sleep while he can. Using the long brown tarps he found awhile back rap around him to cover his whole head and body from the elements and the darn rain.

All was quiet for him as usual till he heard some screaming and heavy footsteps of someone running really fast heading his way, followed by yelling and what he could hear as blaster shots set to stun by what he can hear.

Next he heard armored clanks and knew what that was. Storm Troopers, damn't can't they give me a night of proper sleep in this dump.

He reach his hand down to his side next to him a long cover object in tarps, he put his hand around the trigger and releases the safety.

She had to keep running. No matter what, that's what her mom told her when the empire arrived at her house. Coming to collect them as to be sold as slaves for the Empire. Her mom had stalled them long enough for her to run out the back. She could hear her mom screaming at her to run. They hadn't stop chasing her across the city, and she was running out of places to hide. Let alone keep on running like this as she could hear them still on her tale. She ran then turn into a ally way nearly trip over something hanging out from something in between the trash as she turn to check. She nearly miss running into a wall. She ran into a dead end. The Storm Troopers at the entrance with no way out and she saw no means to escape as the Storm Troopers closed in to take her a Imperial officer came up behind them as they held both her arms.

Ah what a lovely female specimen she will make an excellent price on the slave market". Said the officer as he now started to walk more closer to get up close to examine her more closely. Before he trip on what she now saw was a covered leg and landed in whatever it was on his face that she smelled bad from here. Could feel the storm troopers holding her holding were holding back a laugh but could hear a slight chuckle from them.

As the person the leg connected two rose as she saw him holding a long cover stick as both troopers raise their blasters at the covered figured.

"Let the kid go." Said the cloak figured.

The Officer step up and wipe whatever it was on its face as he let loose with the rage as he started yelling in anger. "You dare! Under Imperial order 3629 your under arrest for assaulting a Imperial officer."

The person look at him as a bolt of lightning lit up the area and showed the face hidden under the make shift hood from the traps was all a white helmet with a black T visor. Before he threw the tip which showed as the brunt of a rifle as he slammed it into the jaw of the officer and then just as quickly as the Storm Troopers let go of her to put both hands on their weapons to get proper aim. Already grab his blaster rifle and took aim faster then both men could react as he fired twice as two blue bolts streak next to her and landed straight on target hitting them both in the face killing them dead. As man now hit the man again as he tried to get up again knocking him out cold. "Now it's an assault." As he look away, grab his bag and hosted his rifle. "You better get moving kid. It won't be long till they find what's left of these goons."

He started to turn and notice she still standing there.

"Come on kid, get moving trust me you don't want to be here when their friends come calling for them."

"What are you? You don't look like any storm trooper I've ever seen."

With that he started to turn with a chuckle. "I'm not a storm trooper, I'm a Clone Trooper."
