The Search for the Weapon

Chapter 7:Catch This

I own not those situations I borrow from Disney Properties, Lucas, Mechalich or Thomas Benjamin DeMayo. This is a dramatization from my mind on a character created from the meld of table gaming and so on. Special thanks to ideas Drew Karpyshyn and Tim Lebbon fermented. Special thanks to Morihei Ushiba who formed Petre with his wisdom. Like any mind construct this is an exercise and my own work building on other ideas from the past.

This is a Zeison Sha story, set in what is known as the Star Wars EU.

I am never alone, because the Force is my Ally,

I am never Defenseless because the Force is my Shield,

I am never puzzled because the Force leads me to knowledge

I am never helpless because the Force is my tool.

Zeison Sha Code Translated from Yanab

Koto had, so the crew would not dwell on where they were, asked them to describe all they could on the crew of recruits. The crew of the Century Hawk were nervous as they entered space except for Koto who was guiding them.

"So you have a clone wars pilot, a smuggler, a pirate, a bounty hunter and a senator with yourself, Grrtak, a doctor, this woman, another woman and this kid from Yanibar all Force adepts on the station?"

"Yes sir." Derien replied.

"Wow, we prayed and meditated for help but wow, we can work with this." Koto said his mind spinning "What are they doing?" he asked Derien.

"I See TIEs flying out mostly, a few in but mostly out, they are taking station in an orb weaver spider pattern and weaving around as if bored." Kota said.

"Standard sentinel blockade cap formation. When we get a hail from them saying they are on their way to get going, transmit Sentinel Blockade CAP which will drop them to atmo edge and goof up the sensors. The smuggler and pilot will know just what to do and the empire will probably go to a layered cordon. When they do, Grrtak release the hook, Dark, be ready to shoot and you Derien, fly like your tail feathers are on fire."

"Meaning we will have them." Dark muttered grimly as the Wookie chuffed.

"Thirty seconds in it will be all over but the hyper jump." With that he began programming the navicomputer.

On the station they were riding the tram when Jahn pulled the emergency break and shot out the control console with a blaster he had been given from a box. "Everybody off the front move-move-move!"

Without questioning the rebels took off and Jahn began firing at something while running so Kua did as well and a gantry fell some 100 meters distant. Then he pointed toward an exit they used that the droid had recommended. Once through they disabled another door. They squeezed through a service access into another service tunnel. And Jahn recoiled in pain as the remote was slagged.

Ok, so not so great to have the connection always. With that he hastily withdrew from the station probably just in time as Ral Gorgon had sensed she hurt him. So she blasted more electronics near her. A few Cleansing breaths, noticed by Kua and the Dr. and the Senator.

EFF IT! Jahn thought as he spooled in the draw like he was used to.

R4 beeped pleased sounds as its plan catching 2 storm trooper trams and the one they used smashed together. R4's plan had worked to perfection shaking the station.

"The next door I will booby trap as it is one of the last." Kua Wan said going to work.

"Thanks for the route R4." Captain Az said kindly and the droid beeped its appreciation of the compliment. Jahn however was working a terminal with "anti-backflow" so they could get a readout of the "trapped and barricaded" hanger.

Kua Wan came up beside him noting the similarities. "Serreno time again." Jahn nodded feeling he was almost exhausted, but then again, so was everyone except Kua.

"We boil up from this service tube here." Captain Az said. "Kua on the heavy troops here, Fleur and the Senator fire on the guards at the shuttle. Alex goes straight to the lead xwing with r4. Doc you get on the shuttle and start powering it so I can fly it out. Jahn and I make for the security booth, we shut things down with his flying knife. R4, thanks for the guidance sticks, we plug those in. Alex lead, Jahn wing and Kua you just punch it for good measure. I'll follow on the shuttle. Doc you have second seat, Senator, hail my ship!" he took a deep breath. "Easy plan right."

"Remember, the Force is with us." Jahn said as he added one more simple thing.

Ral Gorgon got to the transport hanger depot seething. The rebels were more capable than they had encountered before, and now the emergency warnings of the station were sounding as it fell deeper into the atmo. Somehow he had made ways to avoid all their patrols and this last one was slaughtered from behind with the blast door closing and the exit door opening. "Find them, they have to be here somewhere!" she spat before the storm troopers all grabbed their helmets, flipping the switch she knew was radio wave coms.

"Sir, they jammed us again!" she heard after they took off their helms as protocol dictated.

"Jammed hell, that was an attack!" shouted one. While others shouted "what?"

"They are leaving now! to the hangers divide up 6 per. FIND THEM OR DIE!" she went to a terminal and tried to call up the hangers but for some reason, the terminal was dead. She took a lightsaber and slashed it off the mounting.

YOU SON OF A BITCH! She called into the Force so all the adepts could hear it.

Koto turned to Derien and Grrtak who stared back in shock "I am pleased as punch with this development, you see, to gain strength or use strength the Dark Sider whips up anger, but when they do they can lose perspective, calm, most importantly, situational awareness and cunning."

"So a cold hate is more dangerous?" Grrtak asked.

"Hate is not something we as Jedi wish to explore."

"Or the Zeison Sha" Derien added "they even "disuse" that term and the term master." She pointed at a passage near the hate discussion "It's written by some Petre Allyan." She cleared her throat "The term master implies mastery. For a potter that can stifle expansion of the craft, implying your state of the art is THE pinnacle or you can MASTER the Force. The same can come when one is sure and absolute in the Force. The only absolute the Force allows is faith in it, after that how you limit yourself with your accolades is your own business. Liv a humble life."

Jahn and Kua Wan burst from the service portal like they were shot out of a canon (jet pack and repulsor equipped eva suits do that), soon withering fire was laid on guards looking the wrong way with their helmets on the ground. Captain Az and Jahn with him in full Sha Soresu raced to the hanger control shutting internal blast door and opening the exit blast door.

"Jahn can you disable the terminal?" Captain Az asked but Jahn was already running toward the x-wing he was to fly and Az heard the telltale sounds of thermal detonators counting down. It surprised him the detonators timers allowed him to get almost to the shuttle.

Alex strapped in and hooked up flipping all the switches needed for a cold start since he was perpetually in his flightsuit.

Jahn arrived in his and began the warmup sequence and also stripped two spots on the hand controls so he had bare metal and let go of his choke to rejuvenate and use his special mecha derro talent to "wear" the craft, then he lifted off and cleared the safeties so he could fire out the hatch covering Kua Wan who just bolted.

When he came up to begin flight, Alex was gone and Kwa was following the shuttle. Jahn took and "wore" his bird pulling in gear even as the repulsors rose so he arced out over the shuttle to take station on Alex's wing. The xwing was pretty responsive to his thoughts and the coms the 4 craft had was excellent. So he flipped it to fire into the hanger to create secondary explosions and then took off to be Alex's wingman.
