Chapter 7: Escape from Hollow Bastion
Xehanort sat in his room, he made the preparations for the ship and assign the captain, ploit, and co-ploit for his half niece. However, he sensed a disturbance in the Force. He attivated his hologram an image of the Captian appeared, "Excuse me, Captian..." He couldn't seem to remember his name. The Captian just smirked, "Axel. Got it memorized?"
"Ah, yes. How could I forget?" Xehanort signed he forget who he was dealing with, "Captian, change of plans. The Stormtroopers the escort her royal highness, check them out to see if the acatul Stromtroopers. And tell the pilot and co-pilot they're not allowed to leave without the Inquisitor." Captian Axel nodded, "Yes sir. May I ask why?"
"It's probley nothing. But I don't want to take any chances." The former Jedi ordered as he ended the transmission. Xehanort stroked his chin.
The princess walked aside BB-8 guarded by Sora and Riku disguise as stormtroopers. They could see the Captian up ahead, awaiting to greet them and their ship, the Highwing. As they walked up, the Captian bowed, "Your highness, I'm Captian Axel. Got it memorized?"
"Yeah, I remember you. Weren't you the guy who nearly burned down the weapons factory?" She asked. Axel shugged, "How'd you even know it was me? It could have been anyone." The princess grinned, "Because I read your profile. It said your a pryo and you just love to burn things."
"Hey, no one ever gets hurt. Besides, they'd should of put up a 'Do not touch' sign near the flamethrower. It was begging to be played with." The Captian excused. The princess signed was about to go on the ship when Axel stop them. "Sorry, can't let you get on yet."
"Why not?" Kairi wondered. Axel guested to her guards, "I just need to see if these guys are really Stormtroopers." BB-8 turned to Kairi in worried and beeped. Kairi crossed her arms, "Why do you need to? No Rebel would dare step foot on this planet with bringing an army."
"Except for that really cute boy, Sora and his friend, Riku." Kairi thought to herself with a slight blush. The Captain didn't seem to notice, "Neither, do I but your Uncle's orders." Axel walked up to the "Stormtroopers" and Kairi began to worry. "Your identification, troopers." Axel told them.
Riku shoulder bumps Sora, his friend turned to him and shrugged. Riku rasied his hand reminding Sora what he did earlier. Sora then remembered and slapped himself in the face. Axel rasies an eyebrow, wonder what were they doing. Sora walked up and waved his hand, "You don't need to see our identification."
"I don't need to see your identification." Axel repeated. Sora waved his hand again, "We're not the Rebels you are looking for."
"Your not the Rebels you are looking for." Axel repeated as he were in completely in Sora's control. Kairi and BB-8 watched in awe as Sora waved again, "Sorry for the hold up, your highness."
"Sorry for the hold up, your highness." Axel turned to Kairi and repeated. Sora waved his hand once more, "Now, you will lock yourself in the brig of your ship." Axel made his way to the ship, "Now, I will lock myself in the brig." Sora smirked under his helmet in victory. Riku tapped Sora on the shoulder and guestered to Axel's blaster. Sora quickly added, "Oh, And you will drop your weapon."
"Aaaaannnnnnnnddddd I'll drop my weapon!" Axel repeated as he pulled out his blaster and dropped it. The princess quickly picked it up and looked to Sora. Sora shrugged sheepishly. Kairi smiled at him. Sora was glad his helmet was covering his blush. Kairi quickly aboard the ship. Riku turned to Sora while he removed his helmet, "Okay, the ploits aren't going to be to thrilled with the takeover so you better figure out how to fly the ship." Sora nodded as he went inside, "Cover me in case something goes wrong."
Meanwhile, back in Kairi's room. Stormtroopers were walking past the princesses room when the heard a humming noise on the other side. The door was the being cut by a red lightsaber it was moving it way to cut through the door in half. The Stromtroopers turned to the door as the lightsaber was pulled away. With that the door was forced its way opened bending the doors out of shape. Vanitas walked out with lightsaber in hand, "Lock this castle down! Nothing leaves this planet alive!"
Roxas and Xion said in the ship both spinning around in their chairs in boredom. When they heard foots steps they saw the Captian entered the room, they smiled to see the oldest and best friend but they were surprised that Axel locked himself in the brig. Roxas was the first to speak, "Ummm... Axel? Why did you lock yourself in the brig?"
Axel snapped out of his trance and looked around and turned to his friends, "I have no idea. Last thing I was suppose to remember, I was supposed to check the Princess's guards to see if they actually were Stromtroopers." Xion then wondered, "Then what happened?"
"Pilots?" They turned to see the princess and a Stromtrooper with out his helmet point blasters at them, "go join your friend." Roxas and Xion rasied there hands opened the brig and walked inside. The "Stromtrooper" quickly locked it. Xion turned to Axel, "How did you lock you self in here, when the locks out there?"
Axel shrugged. Roxas smiled, "Relax. They have to let us out eventually. They can fly this without a ploit or co-ploit." Sora smirked, "What a coincidence? I just hope so happen to be the best of my home." Kairi also smirked, "And my father taught me everything he knew about flying, and he knows a lot of things so you got another ploit and co-pilot here. Sora and Kairi quickly got in Roxas's and Xion's former seats."
Xion and Axel turned to Roxas who smiled sheepishly. Xion just smiled, "It's okay Roxas. I still love you." Xion quickly kiss Roxas on the check making Roxas blush. Axel look to two in shock, "Wait, since when did you two become a thing? Last time I remember you didn't even know what love was." Roxas and Xion smiled sheepishly as they responded, "We... manged to figure it out." They turned to eachother and Xion shouted, "Jix, you owe me a sea-salt ice cream!"
Axel signed at least they were taking the total becoming hostages thing very well.
Riku stood by the entrance to the Highwing, baster in hand. Just as he breath, a squad of Stromtroopers came marching in, "Stop that ship! Blast them!" Riku shot first and killed the command. The Stormtroopers fired in response. Riku dogde the laser fire and kept firing back, each shot making there mark. However, he knew he couldn't hold them of forever, "Guys, we've got company!"
As Sora and Kairi started up the ship, Kairi turned to her droid, "BB-8, active the auto turrets!" The unquie Astromech beeped in response and rolled to a control panel. The pulled into it and did what Kairi told him.
Outside, two auto turrets popped out and began blasting the Stromtroopers. Riku smirked, "That'll help." With the help of BB-8, Riku was able hold off the waves of Stromtroopers. Riku smirked at his accomplishment untill a dark figure came walking towards. Vanitas reached from back and pulled out his lightsaber. He activated both ends of the lightsaber and the half circle was completed. The blades spun around as fast like crazy, reflecting the lasers coming from the auto-turrets and destroyed them. Riku laughed nervously as the Inqustior contenuied to make his way towards Riku with another wave of Stromtroopers, "Guys, we might want to leave now."
Sora switched the engines on, "We're ready to go, get back inside!"
Riku quickly did as he was told but Vanitas rasied his hand to pull Riku back with the Force. Riku was able to grab on to something but still felt like he was being dragged. He took a quick look around and saw the buttons to the enterance. The Stromtroopers lined up in front of Vanitas to shoot Riku. Riku grabbed the closet thing he could get his other hands on, which was his helmet. He used his right hand to the his helmet at the buttons. The helmet hit, the enterance closed, therefore blocked lasers shots from the Stromtroopers and freeing him from Vanitas's grip. Riku signed, "That was too close." He ran up to join his best friend and the princess.
Vanitas groweled in annoyance. As his double bladed Inqusitor lightsaber contenuied to spin, he threw his weapon at the ship hoping to cut there engines. However, before the blades could hit the engines blasted on sending a glust of wind sending the lightsaber back. Some Stromtroopers were smart enough to jump out the way but some were still cut down by the lightsaber. Vantias was able to catch and deactivate his weapon. He watched as the ship left the platform. Before it blasted off, he saw the princess and a spiky haird young man. Vanitas eyes widened under his mask when he saw the boy's face. He watched as the ship blasted off into the atmosphere. "First time dealing with Rebels, sir?" A Stromtrooper asked.
In a fit of rage, the Inqusitor force pushed the Stromtrooper off the platform. The remaining Stromtroopers who were not dead choose not to say another word. Vanitas reached to his earpiece on his helmet, "Attention all fighters. Persure the ship, known as the Highwing. Captian Vexen, don't let those Rebels get away. They have the princess, capture that ship and bring her back. Kill all others...And especially the ploit!"
"Yes, sir!"
As the Highwing headed toward the atmosphere, Imerial TIE fighters followed them trying to shoot them down. "Um... BB-8? What happened to the auto-turrets?" Kairi asked as Sora was evanding the the green laser fire. Riku answer for the droid, "Your ex destroyed them like they were nothing." Sora turned to Kairi, "Does this thing have any other weapons?"
"I'm not sure, Captian?" Kairi turned to the former Captian. Axel shook his head, "Nope, I'm not talking." Riku gave him an odd look, "You know, the Empire won't take us alive. If we die, you'll die too." Roxas and Xion's eyes widened in horror, "Please, tell them Axel!" Axel looked to his best friends, they gave Axel the puppy dog pout. Axel hated see them like this and he didn't want to see them killed. They were closest thing to a family he had. Axel signed, "There are the front turrets on the ship locked in the forward position. Your spiky haired friend has controls over those. There are also proton torpedoes on this ship but it only has one shot. Your highness, you'll find them on your side. There is also a manual turret over silvers head."
Riku looked up, and saw it, "I'm on it." He pulled down the trigger/ target system down and aimed at the TIE fighters. He hit the trigger and fired blue laser fire back at the TIEs. He was able to shoot down two of the fighters that were in persuret. The Highway exited the planets atmosphere follow by three more TIE fighters. Sora could see a Star Destroyer trying to cut of their escape. "Kairi, do you know where the tractor beam is?"
"Yeah, I've been feeding the Rebellion since my father disappeared. It should near the center of the bottom of the Star Destroyer." She answered. Sora then asked, "What about the Commications tower?"
"It's near the back, it's just below their command tower on the top. Why?" Kairi asked. Sora replied, "First, we need to take out the tacor beam, we won't be able to escape if that thing catches us. Then we need to take out the communications tower. It will give use a better chance to run without the whole Empire knowing we were here and that your gone."
The princess nodded. Sora flew towards Star Destroyer.
"There moving into attack formation?!" Captian Vexen laughed, "HA! They must be more foolish the I though they were." Zexion then smirked, "You mean more foolish than being a guy who suitcase combination code was 1, 2, 3, 4, 5? What's your new one? 6, 7, 8, 9, 0?"
"Silence Lieutenant! Prepare to fire the tractor beam!" Vexen ordered as he thought, "Note to self. Change my combination code again."
Sora saw the tractor beam to make a lock on them. He knew how long they had untill it fired. Kairi looked to Sora, "Um, shouldn't we take evasive action?" Sora smiled, "We will. Just wait for it." He counted down the estimated to time when finished at the last second, Sora moved out of the way making the Star Destroyer catch one of it's own fighters instead. Riku took the opportunity to take out that TIE fighter. Sora then made his own shots at the tractor beam taking it out. Kairi turned to Sora in amazement, "How did you..."
"My Grandpa unfourtantly serves the Empire so he gives me tips how to avoid being captured by enemy tractor beams." Sora replied. Kairi frowned, "Sorry to hear that. I know what it's like." Sora then pulled away as he replied, "It's alright. It not your fault." He gave Kairi a kind smile. She didn't know why but just being seeing Sora smile made her happy and she just met him. Sora the charge into the front of the Star Destroyer's Commications tower, "Alright, get ready to fire the proton tropedoes." Kairi got her controls ready to fire.
Vexen's eyes widened in horror, "Rasie the defector shields! There going to try to kill us!" Zexion rasied an eyebrow, "It would serve them no purpose. They're probably trying to destroy the comunications tower to cover their escape. I suggest we lunch more fighters to draw them away untill we get the tactor beam fix."
"SILENCE, ZEXION! I'M THE CAPTIAN AND I CALL THE SHOTS ON THIS! YOUR ONLY A LIEUTENANT!" Vexen exclaimed making Zexion roll his eyes, "Okay but don't say I didn't warn you, Captian."
Sora continued to move forward toward the tower. Kairi turned to Sora, "Okay, I've got a lock." Sora nodded, "Okay, prepare to fire...oh, if it's alright for you, your highness...I mean, Kairi. I don't mean to order you around." Kairi giggled, "It's okay." Axel rolled his eyes, "Oh, get a room you two!" Sora and Kairi blushed at that comment. Roxas then noticed there were getting pretty close to the tower and he start praying Hail Mary. Axel looked to Roxas, "Is the mother of God even born yet?"
"Hey, Jesus could have already died on the cross and it would still be a long time ago, we're just in a galaxy far, far away." Xion voached for her boyfriend. Axel nodded, "Okay, mind if we join in?"
"Not at all." Roxas smiled, with that the three captive Imperials started praying the Hail Mary. As Sora got closer to the target, he nodded to Kairi, "Fire." The Princess pulled the trigger and proton tropedoes destroyed the communications towers. Sora then pulled up cause the TIE fighters following them crash into the Star Destroyer. Sora then set the hyperdrive to Aldraan and Highwing blasted off in to light speed.
Vexen jaw dropped then glared at Zexion, "Not...a...single...word." Zexion just replied, "My lips are sealed. Besides I'm not the one to report to Lord Vader's son that they got away." Vexen's widened in horror, he was right again.
Vanitas pulled out his hologram when it beeped. An image of Vexen appeared, his fear was clearly shown. "Well..." Vanitas asked. Vexen gulped, "I'm sorry, sir...but...the rebels...got aw..." With that Vexen started to lose air. Vanitas was using the Force to choke him, "You have failed me for the last time." Vexen then fell to the floor and died. Vanitas changed the screen to Zexion, "Congruations, Zexion. You've just been promoted to Captian." Zexion smiled in gratitude, "Thank you, sir."
Vanitas walked off to meet up with Master Xehanort. Vanitas thought to himself, "So the child did surive. But not for long. Soon that boy will be dead and the princess and the planet will be mine."
