It seemed to happen in slow motion. He saw Sugi dive in front of Ahsoka and the weird guy's knife went into her chest. Embo cried out, he didn't know whether it was in surprise or anger or what. He watched his friend, one of the only people he had ever loved in his life, drop to the ground.
Anger flooded his body, drowning out any other emotions. He ran at the man, who was running his fingers over the edge of the bloodied knife. Embo punched him hard in the stomach, then kicked him in the side, sending him flying into the wall.
By the time he was done with his outburst, the others had gathered around her. Embo knelt down next to her. Marrok trotted over to him and sat next to Sugi as well. He made a whimpering noise at her. Sadness, a feeling he rarely ever felt, filled him. It was almost overwhelming.
"Sugi, can you hear me?" He asked.
"Yeah….I can." She struggled to get out.
"Y-you're gonna be OK, I promise." Embo stated.
"I… I know." She said with a sad smile. Then she coughed a bit, a small trickle of blood ran down from the corner of her mouth. She winced in pain.
"Crap. What are we gonna do?" Dengar asked, panic in his voice.
"Embo…" Sugi breathed, grabbing his hand. "I…love you." She pressed her lips to his hand before letting go. She laid her head back and her eyes closed. This put Latts in tears.
"Oh man…." Ventress sighed.
No one spoke for a while. The only sound was Latts' crying and sniffles. The silence was only broken when Ahsoka spoke.
"We have to go. He probably has security cams every where and thugs looking for us."
"What do we do with…Sugi?" Dengar asked, hesitant to say her name.
"We take her with us." Embo stated.
"Are you sure she won't slow us down?" Ventress asked, placing her hands on her hips. Embo grabbed her by the neck, and slammed her into the nearest wall.
"I am taking her with us. It won't slow me down." He growled, setting her down.
"It'll also be good to get out of here before that thing wakes up again." Latts sniffled.
Once Embo lifted Sugi over his shoulder, they ran out of the court yard, hoping they were running in the right direction.
"Blast it!" Brute yelled, slamming his fist onto the desk. The Kyuzo just knocked out Moordenaar.
"I told you he was just an experiment." Tasha said in an I-told-you-so voice.
"Shut up! I need to think." He growled.
"I'll go kill them." Tasha said excitedly.
"We will wait." Brute said thoughtfully.
"What!? Why?" Tasha exclaimed.
"Good things come to those who wait." Brute stated.
"But you promised me my soup!" Tasha yelled.
"You will get it! But not today! I have a plan." Brute explained.
They finally reached the door they came in through. But it was locked.
"Great. Ventress work your lock pickin' magic." Dengar said.
Before Ventress could, the holoscreen next to the door lit up with Brute's face. Marrok growled at it.
"I will let you go today, but let me tell you this; as of right now, we are at war. You will pay dearly for breaking into my base. Trust me, that Zabrak won't be the only one who dies!" Brute told them. Embo picked up a blaster he got from a fallen thug and shot the screen. Suddenly they heard the lock click and the door opened.
"Let's go before he changes his mind!" Ahsoka exclaimed.
They ran all the way back to the apartment. Embo laid Sugi's body on the bed and ran back for the door.
"Where are you going?" Latts asked.
"I need to ask the lobby people a favor." He said, closing the door behind him. He hoped he would be in time, though.
