I have time during my Study Halls to work on this, so I'm going to use that time for now on. I am also on my tablet before and after school as well, so I'm switching to full work time. Enjoy!
"Moving into position. We have two of the rebels in sight. Awaiting orders."
"Good. Wait until they are in shooting range. Then eliminate them."
"Understood."
Between Chapters 9 and 10...
Nicki stroked Angel's back. The wounded dog was recovering from the attack, but Nicki wanted to get payback for what the Inquisitor did. She hadn't told anyone about it, but she knew it would come in handy. She got up, leaving Angel with Kanan. "Where are you going?" he asked her. Nicki paused, "Scouting." She then walked away.
Now...
Nicki opened the box and reached in. She wrapped her fingers around one of the grenades and lifted it up, careful not to pull the pin. A faint layer of dust had caked the grenade. Nicki gently blew on the grenade, sending the specks scattering. She then proceeded to remove the other grenades of the box and placed them in her satchel. If this were to work, she would have to cripple the Empire for a long time. And she already knew just where to set to trap.
Zeb grumbled, "So Nicki went scouting and Ezra and Sabine ran off somewhere, leaving us with the mutt?"
He did not like having half the responsibility of watching after Angel. The dog was only going to slow him down, and he was dying to pummel Stormtroopers. "That's what we know, so yes," Kanan replied in a stern voice. Kanan seemed to be calm. "Karrabast, Kanan, how can you be so calm when half of us have gone off somewhere, making them easier targets for the Empire?" Zeb blurted out the question. Kanan turned his head to face Zeb, "Sabine won't let herself be caught by Imperials, Nicki has fighting skills equivalent to yours, and Ezra has his survival instincts. How can I not be calm?" Zeb couldn't argue against that. "Well, since you put it that way, I guess there's no reason to be worried."
"We have to be careful. The Imperials could be anywhere," Sabine spoke up. Ezra and Sabine were walking back from the lake. They paused and looked at each other, "I don't think the Imperials could get through, judging by their reaction timing." Sabine still had a worried glance. "Look, if they do show up, we can teach them a lesson," Ezra reassured her. Though Ezra did feel worried himself. What can go wrong? He asked himself silently. But right after he did, Stormtroopers bursted through the leafage, pointing blasters at them.
"Rebels located," one of them spoke in a stern voice. "Awaiting furthers orders, keep them surrounded.". There were about eight of them, all with the same blaster. Ezra studied them, trying to come up with a plan. Without warning, Sabine took out her blasters and shot two of them. Ezra took out his own blaster and shot a third, and the two of them began blasting away. Why'd I ask? Ezra thought to himself again.
