Tyvral glared at Hondo through the escape pod window, he pressed a button and patched into Hondo's coms, "What are you doing?!"
"Going to my ship, what you doing you furry lunatic!" roared Hondo.
Tyvral opened his mouth to answer when he sensed incoming danger. He looked over and saw several incoming vulture droids. Tyvral turned the ship and began firing rapidly at the vulture droids. He took out two of them but they were rapidly closing. The droids began firing back. Tyvral did his best to avoid the blast but his starfighter rocked wildly as blast struck it.
One of the vulture droids fired at Hondo who shrieked, "I'M DEAD!"
Tyvral force pushed and Hondo's escape pod flew out of the way.
"I'm not dead," said Hondo wide-eyed.
The vulture droids chirped and accelerated towards Tyvral.
Tyvral instinctively threw his hands up, blast and explosions rang out. Tyvral opened his eyes cautiously, and vulture droids part floated around him, "Blast the pirate and get back to ship kid, Grievous is trying to board!"
Tyvral looked at Hondo who began to shake his head vehemently, "No no no no no no!"
Tyvral pressed the button. His tow cable shot out and attached to Hondo's ship. "Hold on," he said. Tyvral turned his engine speed up and raced towards Hondo's ships. He bobbed and weaved through the battle, dodging blast and debris. "Yes, yes, yes, fly my furry friend fly!" cheered Hondo.
They were nearly there when suddenly a blast sliced through the cable. Tyvral cursed and reached out with the force. He grabbed the escape pod and threw it towards Hondo's ship command ship. He turned it and attached it to the ship. Tyvral panted as he let go of the escape pod, "Come on X9 let's get back before Grievous".
Tyvral punched it, but he was already too late for Grievous's ship was connected to the star destroyer. Tyvral turned his engines up to the maximum speed and he was thrown back in his seat as he flew towards the hanger. He crashed into a group of B1 battle droids and his ship skidded through the hanger a trail of sparks behind it. Tyvral hopped on the landed on the still hot hanger floor. He activated his lightsabers and began cutting through droids, Dev who was also in the hanger ran up to him.
"You seen Grievous?" asked Dev.
"No I just got here," said Tyvral as he deflected a blaster bolt.
One of the doors to the hangar opened and Maw ran in. He blasted two of the few remaining droids and ran to the Jedi. "Grievous is headed for the bridge".
"Let's go," said Tyvral immediately.
"Commander Kart you and your men protect the naval officers, leave Grievous to me," said Shargo rising to his full height and activating his massive lightsaber.
The doors to bridge opened and Grievous walked in several commando droids and Magnaguards walking beside him, "Jedi!" he snarled.
"General Grievous," stated Shargo.
Grievous, who was seven feet tall, stood over all except for Shargo whom was still over double his height. Yet Grievous pulled two lightsabers from his hips and activated them, "Your lightsaber will make a fine addition to my collection".
Grievous rushed forward roaring as did. Shargo let out a might swing at him. Grievous spun to Shargo's open flank and slashed at him. Shargo stumbled out of the way of the blades, tripping over his own feet as he did. Grievous lunged forward bringing down his sabers. Shargo barely blocked the strike and he fell down. Grievous stood over top of the massive Jedi and raised his lightsabers.
The door to the bridge slid open, Tyvral, Dev, and Maw standing in the doorway. Grievous looked over at them and Shargo threw out his hand and Grievous slammed against the window. He stood and glared at the three Jedi, "At last a challenge" and his arms split in half and he pulled out two more lightsabers.
Hondo stood on his bridge as he watched the last of the banking clan frigates explode. "We're all set to go, boss," said a Weequay pirate typing in coordinates.
Hondo looked out the window to the docked ships, a star destroyer, and a providence class destroyer. "No, attack the separatist ship".
"What?" exclaimed his men.
Hondo turned to them, "Yes now what are waiting for. We destroy those crazies then we salvage them, get the Jedi to pay us again, and we teach those separatist not to mess my business deals!"
His men smiled and ran to their battle stations.
Dev and Tyvral attacked Grievous who blocked them with two lightsabers each. Shargo lifted his lightsaber high above his head and swung it with all his might. Grievous kicked him and Shargo kneeled over. Grievous began to swing his lightsabers causing Tyvral and Dev to hop back.
"Fire!" shouted Hondo and all three of his ships fired on the separatist ships.
Grievous stopped spinning his lightsabers and Dev immediately attack him. He feinted an overhead attack and stabbed at Grievous. Grievous blocked Dev's stab with one lightsaber, he brought down a second in an arcing strike. It sliced through Dev's arm which thudded on the floor of the star destroyer. Dev roared in pain.
Tyvral and Shargo both attacked Grievous who blocked their attacks. He buckled under the force of Shargo's attack.
A com on Grievous's hip went off and a B1 battle droid came over, "Sir the ship is under attack we're sustaining heavy damage".
Grievous's eyes narrowed and he kicked Tyvral who flew into the bridge's window. Grievous quickly ducked under Shargo's attack and sprinted through the star destroyer.
Kart blasted the last droid in the head and looked at Grievous sprinted out of the bridge. "AFTER HIM!"
Grievous grabbed his com, "Open fire on the republic ship!"
"Uh yes sir," said the B1.
Kart and Tyvral sprinted after Grievous when the ship was suddenly rocked violently.
"Admiral what was that?" asked Shargo.
"The separatist ship is firing on us, they'll tear us apart at this range!" yelled Admiral Sato.
Shargo picked up Dev and clipped Dev's lightsaber to his belt, "Set the guns to fire automatically and tell everyone to go to escape pods".
"We can catch Grievous, we shouldn't run!" yelled Tyvral.
Shargo narrowed his eyes at Tyvral, "Go to an escape pod".
The separatist soon detached and shot into hyperspace leaving behind a still exploding star destroyer and dozens of escape pods. Tyvral watched the star destroyer burning a heavy sadness falling over him. He cast a glance at Dev who had fallen asleep. "I'm sorry for yelling at you master".
Shargo smiled down at his padawan, "Your quite alright, though be sure to learn from this".
Tyvral nodded, "I will master, I will".
A light suddenly shinned through their windows and they all shielded their eyes. A familiar voice then rang out, "Hello my friends you are being rescued, please do not resist!" yelled Hondo.
