A week had passed since she got off that planet. Jasmin found herself sitting in a window watching ships, the time being uneventful. The surprise when she was the only one who made it back was the only thing worth noting. The Republic had kept their word and she now walked free. She did however put a request to be reenlisted into the military with a promotion from private to corporal, hoping to skip first class entirely. She hatted handouts but she had spent more than her time as an E2 and never got her time based E3 promotion and she knew she'd have to work for sergeant no matter what so this would be an exception. But for now, she could only wait. She watched a valor class cruise by scoffing at it did. To her the engine setup was a flaw in both looks and practice main propulsion under hung from the rest of the ship was extra resources and a weak point. One thing she felt the imperials got right was design. Her thoughts got interrupted by the piercing cry of a child. Closing her eyes tightly and growling "A kid. Why dose it have to be a kid?" Taking a deep breath, she looked over. A small Twi'lek was bawling her eyes out while looking up. Following the child's gaze, she noticed a ball stuck up in the overhead. With a sigh she waved her hand, manipulating the force to drop the ball on the girl. It missed the child as it was walking away but hearing the ball hit the group she turned with a gasp of disbelief. Running up and grabbing her ball she looked around, only seeing Jasmin in her black and purple armor half asleep in the window. The Hammerhead cruiser made a jump into hyperspace and Jasmin let sleep take her having had no more of the weird dreams service she had gotten back.
Her sleep was brought to sudden halt to the sound of an impact thump on the ship and the general alarm blaring accompanied by civilians screaming. Her instincts kicked in and she grabbed her gear ready to fight. She looked over the panicking people as they tried to figure out what just happened. With another thud and the sound of straining metal she saw the overhead warp. The people who saw this screamed and tried for the door to get out of the large room has she realized what was happening. Powering her rifle on she knew there was about to be a fight. But first she had to make sure the civilians where safe. Standing up she yelled out projecting her voice best she could "Everyone stop!". Her voice boomed through the room those close to her stopping, but the panic issued. Sounding off one more time. "I say again. EVERYONE STOP! Get one the bulkhead. Sit down and cover your god forsaken heads!" Pointing at the inboard bulkhead as she did so. The authority her voice carried helped with her demand as the people did as she ordered. Stepping forward she went out. Rifle raised she pushed through the halls.
The sounds of battle echoed through the passageways and like it was a lure she went to it. A boarding pod laid in her path and having no way around she pulled her lightsabers and started cutting through. The pod not cutting easy it took a few minutes to make something she could get through. At least they won't be expecting a hostile from there own pod. The gunfire was coming from around the corner. Coming around she got the backs of an imperial boarding squad in a fight with republic forces. With an easy set of shots, she dropped the Imps and pushed up "Friendly coming around Republic!" she yelled out. She waited a moment before coming around the corner. There were only four left of what seemed to be ten. "I take it standard defense of bridge and vital systems?" One of the troopers nodded "Aye. We are on our way to the engine room." Having that she joined the element and they pushed forward.
She caught one of the groups repeatedly looking at her. Looking at him. "Now is not the time to be checking me out. Plus, I bite" She growled. The trooper laughed "I am sorry you just remind me of someone that- "He was cut off by her rolling her eyes "Your dead wife?" she huffed "Oh no. Battle buddy from basic. She broke a guy's arm in the showers. Though ironic cause she preached" Jasmin couldn't help but laugh and joined him in the last part "Why should she be treated differently if she was the only female." The trooper stopped a moment. And looked at her. "Never thought I'd see another 221 members. I'm surprised you remember that." Before he could reply a shot cracked out causing most to flitch one diving to the deck. Jasmin raised her rifle "Don't be a bitch. If you heard it, you're not dead, besides that wasn't even at us." The troops got back up, pushing to the engines. A large bang reverberated through the ship and the power cut for a moment before the backup systems kicked on. The door not shutting. "Well shit. Alright We need to barricade and prep for contact. You two watch the door you and you with me" the team lead pointed through his troops. She was part of the barricade team. Helping move tables consoles and anything that wasn't welded down to make a defense wall. Once built they all took up positions. Jasmin on the far left. A smoke grenade was thrown into the hall from around the corner and the team raised their rifles. Through the smoke came a cloaked figure with a formation of imp troopers. Without hesitation the republic troopers opened fire. The cloaked figure whipping out a red lightsaber and deflecting shots back at the troopers as the imperials returned fire. The team lead caught his own blaster round to the chest and dropped, another catching a round to the head from the siths troopers. Jasmin and her allies made short work of three of the imperial troopers, but they already lost two. As last of the imperial solders that she could see feel the sith had pulled one of the republic solders to him and pieced his chest. She was now left with the youngest trooper. "What do we do?" he whispered hiding under the barrier. "I don't know. Kriff. Why do they care about engines they got the power, this isn't adding up." Her and the last trooper popped up only to be blasted back as the barricade was blown back by the force taking them with it. Now on the ground groaning she heard the footsteps enter. A quick glance showed no sign of the last trooper. The way she aw it. It was a sith, an unknown number of hostile troopers and her. The light from the red saber lit up the room. Trying to get up the footsteps approached her. "I know you are here girl. Your lack of training betrays you." On her knees and the blade pointing at her she cursed to herself. "You had one thing you were supposed to learn. Way to go dumbass." She growled at herself. Her rifle was out of reach and even then, she couldn't pull it to her and raise it fast enough. Her hands moved behind her to the canaster on the back of her belt. "Killing you well earn me favor from my lord" The sith had confidence in his voice. Once within striking distance he brought his blade down. At that moment she pulled hers and ignited them. The blue and white blade running down her arm to catch the sith's. This catching him off guard as she used to stand and threw him back. Taking an aggressive stance at him with the black blade in front of her. The red aura around it illuminating her face. "I'm not that easy acolyte."
There was a moment of silence as the two eyed each other. The hums of the sabers almost deafening in comparison. A shift of his feet was all that was needed to set it off. The two fighters screaming forward the sounds of their blades clashing together echoed out. The sith trying to thrust his blade into her caught by the crossing of her blades she lifted his blade up. Launching a kick from her side to his chest. To her surprise her leg was caught by him and he drove his foot into her knee. Lifting her leg as he did so. Crashing down she rolled onto her side raising the red blade just intime to catch his. Rising the blue blade to swing her wrist found itself under the sith's boot. A kick of desperation was blocked and thrown to the side. Her body following with a loud pop from her arm. A loud crack ripped out and the sith grunted and turned. The young trooper wasn't dead and was rushing him unfraternally he was tossed into the wall. Getting to her feet she found herself unable to move the left arm. Taking a sloppy swing from her right side the sith ducted and kicked, her blade flying out of her hand as his foot hit her arm. All she could do was back up holding her shoulder. The sith pointed his blade at her and spoke. She however couldn't hear him. Her heaving breathing the only thing being audible to her as she looked around. The sith wasn't pushing on her as she backed up. Spotting a cabinet, she reached through the force and sent it flying at him. The sith saw this and redirected it at her. Taking it to the head and falling back everything was blurry. The last thing she saw was the sith brining his blade up before lurching like he was hit. Everything faded as the sith fell.
