Chapter one – REVISED/EDITED
"Come on, come on!" Troopers stormed the alleyways as the mystery child sped faster along any path available. Today was just not her day.
"Karablast!" Dead, end. If she didn't figure out an alternative path of escape soon, she was a dead as a small transport ship going up against an imperial star destroyer, great.
"Come, come on. Give me something here." The child's eyes scanned very quickly for an escape route. She paused as her eyes locked onto one.
"YES!" She hissed under her breath, a small ledge, about 2 feet from the ground. If she could grab that she might be able to get to the roof and have a higher advantage. She'd also live to fight another round.
"Over there!" The hairs on her neck stood up.
"Time's up!" She jumped and managed to barely grasp the ledge as she launched herself up.
"AHH!" she yelped as a blast singed her bare skin on her right arm. She quickly glanced over to brown skin already starting to blacken.
"That'll leave pain for tomorrow." She pulled out two specially made 'gloves' and started climbing.
"Lothrat!" a trooper screamed at before she snickered under her breath.
"I prefer the term, rebel scum!" She reached the top of the building and immediately started sprinting. Only two seconds later to have all of the troopers back out on the main streets and blasting at her.
"Well these guys sure know how to make a lady's day interestin – WOAH!" She ducked in order to save her head from matching her arm.
"Come on bucket-heads, you can do better than that!" probably not. Another blast almost sealed her fate again.
"Well this is fun and all but I'm bored!" She threw herself backwards, onto the street and landed on three of the officers down there.
"Get her!" Four more blasts resonated through the air as she dropped down and spun around, taking two more troopers with her leg as she quickly left them disarmed and shocked them to 'sleep time'. Three more left, too easy.
With one snide move, she rolled backwards, pulled out a blaster and fired three shots. But while their guns were set to kill, hers was only on stun. I'm not a murderer unlike you and I refuse to kill unless my life, or rather someone else's, depended on it.
With the last of the trooper disarmed and down for the count, reinforcements far from arriving, she picked up their guns, hooked all on a rope and swung them over shoulder and mockingly marched forward.
"Pleasure doing with business with ya!" and vanished.
(UNKNOWN POV )
"Thank you, little lady" I rolled my eyes in exasperation.
"Jut pay up Vizago, you asked for weapons, I got you weapons. Give me what you promised and I'll see you next time" He smirked.
"Of course." he handed over 50 credits which I quickly stuffed into a closed satchel.
"Any chance I could possibly hear your name?" Now I smirked.
"Nope" Before he could make another offer I jumped on my spedor and took off. I don't tell people my name, the less they know the better for us all.
I looked back to see if I had any followers, like the last time I left like that, only to see a relatively big ship landed next to Vizago's one. Huh, more customers. I shrugged meh nothing new really. I cranked up the speed and kept going.
(KANAN'S POV )
"Hey Kanan, look" Zeb pointed to a stray spedor driving off, seemingly away from where we are. I turned to face Vizago with a raised brow.
"Another customer?" he chuckled as he met my eye.
"You know me too well, old friend. She is good for business" A girl?
"It's a girl?" Sabine jumps in with excitement. Vizago quickly dismembers that excitement.
"Yes and she is not one for meeting new people" Really?
"What's her name?"
"I'd tell you if I knew Jedi" I cringe at the fact he knows about that now. Wait hold up.
"You don't know her name?" He places credits in my hand and continues.
"Yes, refuses to tell me. Barely even see her face with that hood of hers, very secretive. Showed up around 2 ½ years ago now" A sudden pain lurches forward in my chest. Three years we lost-
"Anyway, I did not come here to talk only for business. Will contact when I have a new job for you" I nod as we part ways. Me, Sabine and Zeb make our way back inside the Ghost in silence. It seems I'm not the only one who remembers what we lost three years ago.
