Prisoners of the Pykes! Ahsoka Tano has teamed up with her new friends, Jenna Arbor and Sienn Ertay, who live in the underworld of the city-planet Coruscant. Struggling break free from the underworld, Jenna scored a job running a spice shipment from the planet Kessel. Tensions rose when Ahsoka realized the spice was being sold to the Pykes, a powerful crime syndicate. As Ahsoka's temper flares, Jenna hatches a plan to deceive the Pykes and keep the spice for themselves.
But her plan has failed, and their ship is impounded.
We now find them imprisoned deep within a fortress on the planet Oba Diah...
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Pyke stronghold, Oba Dia, Prison Wing.
From inside their cell in the dingy and depressing prison wing of the Pyke stronghold, Ahsoka Tano, Jenna, and Sienn sit quietly in their cell and watch as Pyke guards lead a Snivvian prisoner away to a cruel fate.
Ahsoka sat on the bench and rapidly tapped her foot, thinking about their situation. She looked over at her blonde lover, who was lying back on the bench, feet propped against the wall, humming to herself.
The sight of Jenna being so casual about being locked up made Ahsoka's blood begin to boil.
Sienn'hra leaned against the cell gates, connected by a red energy shield, and looked on distraughtly.
"I never thought that when I'd finally get off Coruscant, I'd find myself locked in a place even more filthy and depressing." She said as she walked away to one of the benches.
When Sienn sat back down, next to Ahsoka, she leaned her head against the Togruta's shoulder. As Ahsoka began to stroke her Twi'lek friend's lekku, she looked back at Jenna quite crossly.
"We wouldn't be here if Jenna was able to think this whole operation through." She said.
Jenna smirked. "I have."
"You have?!" Ahsoka exclaimed before she stood up. "You got a job with the Pykes, just to double-cross them, get us captured, and you say you've thought this through?!"
Jenna threw her legs over the bench and stood up to face Ahsoka, who was shorted then her, but Ahsoka held her ground, looking into Jenna with a stare that could kill. But then Jenna smiled. "Darling," she said as she reached out to stroke Ahsoka's lekku, which Ahsoka tried to get away from but failed. "Who says that my plan wouldn't involve falling into prison with the Pykes?"
Ahsoka stiffened at the question. "What?"
"Oh darling, give me some credit. I planned for us to get captured. What better way to damage the Pykes than from the inside?" She then pushed her lips against Ahsoka's for a long passionate kiss.
But Ahsoka broke the kiss and crossed her arms. "Oh yeah? Prove it. Let's see the next step of the plan."
Jenna chuckled. "As you wish." She said as she reached out with the force and started to unzip Ahsoka's wetsuit.
A pair of Pyke guards walked through the prison block on their routine patrol and started to hear giggling and moaning from one of the cell.
They rounded the corner and walked over to the cell, and saw what could only be described as pure art behind bars.
The three young women that they had thrown into the cell, a Human, a Togruta, and a Twi'lek, all naked and hugging, their hands roaming over each other's exquisite bodies.
The orange Togruti was sandwiched in between the other two. The human was behind her, squeezing her magnificent breasts - which were big for a girl of her slender figure - and leaving wet kisses all over her montrals. Meanwhile, the Twi'lek was in front, sucking on the orange girl's neck, while burying her fingers into the middle girl's increasingly wet midsection.
The Togurtan girl gasped in pleasure as she began to come, before she shoved the twi'lek girl to the ground and they both continued to make love.
As this was happening, the human girl noticed the two pykes - who were thoroughly entertained.
"Oh, my! Hello boys." She said as she began to strike a sexy pose. She then began to run her hands over her own body, massaging her own breasts. "Don't mind us. It's just that," she said as she leaned against the cell. "It's so cold in these cells. We were just trying to keep warm. If you can help some, poor, vulnerable girls, we would be eternally grateful."
As she said this, the two other girls continued to interlock their legs and rub them against each other, while kissing passionately on the floor. The Twi'lek gasped as she felt herself be pushed over the edge as well.
The two pykes looked at each other and smirked.
"I suppose it couldn't hurt," one said before pressing his key card to the door controls.
As the door opened, the two guards were about to walk in, when suddenly, the human extended a hand and Force pushed them agains the wall, knocking them out cold.
The human girl then pulled her white wetsuit back over her shoulders and grabbed their weapons and code cylinders. She then turned back to her friends, who had done the same.
"Alright, let's go over the plan one more time." Jenna said.
"I'm going to the armory to grab some explosive and set them in the spice processing facility." Ahsoka said.
"Good. And?" Jenna asked, turning to Sienn, whom she threw a blaster to.
Sienn caught it and spoke up. "You and I are going to the tractor beam generator to shut it down, free our ship, and then go to a special vault for our things."
"Excellent. And then we'll meet back on the ship, and we leave this place for good."
"Nice. Now let's get goi-" Ahsoka said before Jenna pushed her back into the cell, causing Ahsoka to gasp. "What are you-?"
The blonde, cream-skinned human grabbed Ahsoka and pressed her against the wall. She growled softly. Ahsoka looked into the beautiful gray eyes as they came closer and closer and she smirked. She recognized that kind of growl.
"You're terrible, you know that?" She mumbled then closd her eyes and tilted her head upwards. Jenna kissed her - long and passionately - and while she did, she cupped Ahsoka's plump, gravity-defying breasts with her hands and fondled her through the fully unzipped skin-suit.
"We - we shouldn't," Ahsoka protested, but she did not resist, quite on the contrary.
"Oh, I think we definitely should."
The hungry pink lips locked with Ahsoka's again. They were soft, so wonderfully soft ... and warm. Ahsoka kissed her back and brought her hand up to caress her lover's face.
"I ... I can feel them coming," Ahsoka said. "Three guards, all armed."
"Yes ... a shame. I could feeling you coming as well."
Ahsoka blushed, and Jenna closed her eyes, kissed her deeper and gently sucked on her tongue. They kept kissing, neither wanting to stop and both knowing they soon had to. Still, they were both breathing heavily when they eventually did.
Jenna then walked away and used the force to open all of the cells, and prisoners were taken aback by their cells opening. Then they hesitated, before letting out a cheer before running amok throughout the facility.
"A nice little distraction," Jenna said. "Now go!"
Ahsoka nodded, using the code cylinder she took off the Pyke guards from earlier, plugging it into a comm-device, before she bolted off in the direction of the armory.
At the same time, Jenna and Sienn used their blasters to ambush the three guards that had come to patrol the prison, only to be gunned down. The other prisoners started picking up weapons, and chaos reigned through the prison.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Main Armory.
All over the Pyke stronghold, guards were redeploying to the prison wing, trying to contain the riots that had broken out. Most of the prisoners were either gunned down or rounded back up and thrown back into their cells. Very few managed to escape.
But throughout the rest of the stronghold, guards still patrolled critical locations and infrastructure.
Less than usual, and this worked to the advantage of some other escapees.
Two Pyke guards stood at attention outside the armory room, while two more returned from a quick sweep in the surrounding corridors. They were just about to switch posts with the two guards protecting the armory doors.
Suddenly, just as both pairs of guards walked passed each other to switch shifts, a Togrutan girl, wearing a black wetsuit, jumped up from the vent on the floor.
The four guards heard the commotion and turned around, surprised to see a togruta in their midst.
Realizing that they had an intruder, one guard made ready to hit her with his rifle stock, aiming for the back of her head.
But Ahsoka was too quick, using the force to yank all of their rifles out of their hands, before grabbing the arm of the closest guard with one hand mid-swing, before delivering some swift punches to his exposed torso. She then spun around with a leg extended, and kicked him into another guard that was charging at her, sending them both flying.
Another guard charged with his hands outstretched, trying to grab her. Instead, Ahsoka took his hands and slid underneath his legs. Bent over and his hands behind him in a useless position, Ahsoka jump on his rear end and pushed off of him to deliver a swift kick to the face of a guard that stood above her with his arm locked back to deliver a punch that would never be felt by anyone.
One of the other guards got back up and used his shoulder to hit her. She staggered and grunted in pain, and turned to see that same guard make ready to punch her in the face. Moving quickly, she grabbed his should with one hand to minimize the impact of a potential punch and used her other hand to punch the guard in the face, knocking him onto a computer terminal.
One guard tried to kick her, but she held both arms in front of her face to block it before elbowing her in the chest. He staggered, allowing her to punch him in the stomach, and the face in quick succession.
But then the guard she had just dealt with swept his leg out behind her and tripped her.
She was on her back with four guards ready to pummel her.
Thinking quickly, she placed her palms on the floor and flipped her legs up and kicked the guard behind her, before jumping off him to deliver a powerful punch that sent a second guard to dream-world.
That left two guards.
One tried to swing at her. She ducked under his attack only to acquaint her head-tails with the second guard's fist. She elbowed him in the face in retaliation, only to be kicked in the hip by the other guard. The previous guard swung and missed, before she punched his back. The other guard swung and missed, barely, and was kicked by the other guard, into a corner.
Bad place to be. This was her last chance. She kicked her feet out to kick one guard that got too close to the wild animal they just cornered, and she dodged a kick from the other guard before pushing him to the ground. She then spun around, lifted her foot and brought it down with all the force she could muscle together onto the last guard's face.
With an audible grunt, he was out cold.
She stood triumphantly over the four unconscious guards before searching their uniforms for any codes or key-cards.
When she found what she was looking for, she pulled an unconscious guard off of the computer terminal, took his code cylinder and plugged in, pressed a few buttons, and the door began to slide open. One guard that was slumped against the door fell flat when it was fully opened.
It was full of weapons of all descriptions. But she only needed a few things, like the bandolier of thermal detonators on one of the crates, and a button to go along with it, which she attached to her comm-link
"I hope you boys don't mind if I borrow this." She said as she walked over their bodies, before she bolted in the direction of the spice processing facility.
Tractor Beam Generator Room.
In another part of the facility, near the tractor beam generator, the guards were put on high alert.
Not all of the escapees had been dealt with.
Suddenly, one guard felt something hit him in the back of the head.
"OW!" He shouted, alerting his friends. The three guards looked to see a very bashful Twi'lek girl holding a riot stick.
She gave a very nervous laugh. "Heh-heh, I... I thought you'd fall down." She said.
That's when the guard she just hit reached out with his large-fingered hand and grabbed her face, before lifting her of of the ground. She groaned and struggled, kicking her feet and she tried to get out of his grasp.
Suddenly, a blaster bolt speared through his chest. He dropped Sienn, before slumping down to the ground. The blaster shot came from Jenna, who sent more shots down range. The other guards took cover and started to fire back.
"Sienn, my dear, you really must learn to hit people with something other than 'kindness'. Now keep me covered while I shut down this generator." Jenna said as she threw her blaster to Sienn.
As Sienn started to send blaster bolts down range, Jenna got to work shutting down the reactor. She turned knobs and pulled levers, and eventually the power readouts all read 0%, and the generator shut down with a loud droning sound before ceasing.
Vvvrrrmmmmmm!
Their ship was now free to leave if they ever wished to leave.
Sienn was still trying to fight off the same two guards. But they were dug in, and Sienn still wasn't the best shot.
"Jenna!" she called out. "I could use some help!"
Jenna rolled her eyes and clenched her fist, channeling the power of the Force. Suddenly, an invisible field pulled one guard right out of cover, surprising him and his friend.
Completely exposed, Sienn fired, and shot the guard square in the chest.
Jenna used the force again and caused the other guard to be yanked out of cover. He tried to fight it this time, but he still ended up meeting the same fate as his buddy.
"Thanks." Sienn said.
"The generator's been deactivated. But just in case," Jenna said, before grabbing Sienn's riot club. She then activated the electro-function, before driving into the generator's control panel, frying the circuits and rendering it inoperable. "That should do it. Now, let's go!"
Jenna and Sienn took off in the direction of the confiscated goods vault, where they hoped to meet Ahsoka.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Spice Processing Plant.
Ahsoka continued to run through the facility. When she reached the spice plant, the doors opened, revealing a large facility that processed all the spice from Kessel. See saw a Pyke pushing a cart full of boxes towards her, which he couldn't see past.
She Force-jumped to a ceiling beam above the catwalk, allowing him to pass her and exit the factory.
The cart-man then went about his business without ever knowing she was there. That was good enough for her. She then began to swing along the beam like a Kowakian monkey-lizard until she reached one of the large spice containers.
She pulled a thermal detonator off of her bandolier and placed on the large container. She started to jump from container to container, avoiding the eyesight of any worker that walked along the catwalks or climbed the ladders to their next task, and continued placing charges on anything that looked important.
She was nearly complete. Ahsoka jumped up to a pipe and kneeled on it. She pressed a button to sync up the charges, when she heard a voice that gave her pause.
"I assure you, this delay does not change things. We will proceed as planned." Marg Krim said.
The hologram that he was speaking to was a man with blonde hair. He wore dark-gray Mandalorian armor with gold fringes. Ahsoka recognized him as Almec, deposed Prime Minister under Duchess Satine, and then reimposed during Darth Maul's coup on the planet.
Ahsoka was somewhat entranced by the conversation.
"You are but one small piece in this mechanism which Lord Maul designed, and yet, when you falter, it jeopardizes everything. Do you understand?" Almec asked Marg Krim, before turning around to face him.
"I understand that the Republic is giving me competition and is cracking down on my operation. They begun raiding my shipments. Just last week, one of my warehouses on Coruscant was destroyed." Marg said, referring to an incident that Ahsoka and her friends had a hand in.
"Were there Jedi involved?" Almec asked.
"I don't know." Marg said. "None of my men made it out."
"Hmm, well, then the answer is yes." The Prime Minister said. Ahsoka got a better look at his face. At that moment, the hologram looked in her general direction and nearly made eye contact with her, before she ducked behind a pipe to avoid suspicion. "If the Jedi are cracking down on our operations then we'll need Lord Maul back in command as soon as possible. We'll mount a rescue immediately."
"Ah, then you know his location?" Marg Krim asked.
"All in good time." He pointed at Marg Krim. "Make sure there are no more delays in your shipments, and prepare your forces."
Almec then terminated the transmission, and his hologram disappeared, leaving the Pykes alone with their thoughts.
Ahsoka poked her head out of cover.
Marg Krim's deputy spoke up. "I'm tired of this. First Savage Oppress is killed, then Maul disappears. The Hutts abandon us, and yet still all our credits are thrown away so that we can fund Death Watch and their non-stop crusades. We should never have made this deal."
"This deal was made for the very survival of the Syndicate. Unless you wish to end up like those who've opposed Maul in the past?" Marg asked.
His deputy lowered his head.
Marg had his answer.
That's when one of the guards entered the catwalk with urgent news. "Sir, we have a situation. Several of the prisoners have been spotted throughout the facility. One group was last seen near the tractor beam controls.
Marg Krim and his cronies ran off to investigate the commotion. This left Ahsoka with an opportunity to plant what was left of the charges.
And she knew of some information that the Jedi would definitely want.
She slowly jumped up onto the catwalk, making absolutely sure that the one guard that stayed behind didn't see her and she entered the communications room.
It's grey walls and green and red computer lights were in stark contrast to the brown walls and pipe-works of the factory. and looked up where Prime Minister Almec's transmission came from. "Alright, let's see where you called from, Almec." The co-ordinates that appeared on the screen in front of her.
Mandalore. Her suspicions were confirmed.
"So, you're all still in league with a rogue Sith Lord." Ahsoka said under her breath, before downloading the evidence into her comm-link.
But then it hit her.
The tractor beam controls?
Jenna and Sienn.
They were going to need her help. She planted the last of the charges underneath the computer terminal and ran off in the direction of the vault.
But just then, the door opened, and several Pyke guards entered, led by the two administrators from earlier. They pointed their weapons at Ahsoka.
"I knew you weren't just a petty smuggler." Marg Krim said. "Who are you?"
Ahsoka tried to turn back, but more Pyke Sentinels entered the room from different doors, including the catwalk where they communicated with Maul's puppet on Mandalore. The guard that was on the catwalk that entered the room with his blaster drawn, and he was holding a comm-link in his hand up to his chin, indicating that he just used it, likely to warn his boss.
She was surrounded. She only had one option: Attack
The former Jedi apprentice raised her hands in a mock surrender, before she channeled all the power she could muster and unleashed a powerful Force push that sent the Pykes flying back into another corner of the room behind him, where he hit the wall before slumping over, knocked out cold.
Two other guards tired to stun her. But she side-stepped their shots, and she got behind one, kicking his shin, causing an audible snap which was drowned out by the thug's screaming. She then took control of his arm and forced him to use his stun blast on his allies, shooting one and causing him to fall back onto the ground. The others took cover or tried to dodge.
She then kicked the thug she was subduing and sent him crashing into another guard who was originally behind her.
Feeling that this was her only chance to get out, Ahsoka made a run for it. But just as she ran up to a closed door, it suddenly opened to reveal three more armed thugs, who entered the room with their weapons trained on Ahsoka. She backed up, and found herself surrounded... again.
Marg Krim walked up to her, arms crossed.
"A Jedi. Are your friends Jedi as well?"
"No. Just me. They have no idea." She said.
Marg Krim studied her, mulling over the answer.
"Well then, the Jedi Council will regret sending you here." He said as he gestured to a thug, who walked forward with his gun drawn.
Ahsoka raised her arm in a futile attempt to block what was coming, before she was stunned by the guard. Two other guards then yanked the unconscious Togruta up by her upper arms and dragged her off.
But unbeknownst to them, there were explosive charges still armed and attached to different parts of the foundry, including the nearby computer terminals.
All were linked to Ahsoka's wrist comm, which continued to blink as it received their signal.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Confiscated Goods Vault.
A trio of Pyke thugs were protecting the main vault, while three other guards patrolled the rest of the room, which was filled with racks and shelves.
It was just a routine job, protecting the mindless junk that swindlers brought here. They had yet to go through the latest shipment brought by three beautiful women, but there would be time enough for that later.
But suddenly, one guard who was isolated from the rest of his comrades, felt an invisible force being placed on his neck. As he struggled for breath, a blonde human female, wearing a form-fitting white skinsuit and cape, walked around her corner cover, and walked up to him with her arm outstretched and her fingers clenched.
He tried to gasp for help, but then the beautiful women placed her lips against his, silencing him with a kiss, before he lost consciousness. Then two guards that were on the other side of the room, away from the main group, walked around the corner. She used the force sent them shooting up head first into the ceiling, knocking them out cold.
"What was that?" A thug guarding the gate asked.
"Go check it out."
With that, a forth guard ran over to see what was wrong with his buddies.
"We've got casualties, the room is compromis-" he started to say before a women flew out of cover with her leg outstretched, kicking the guard into the wall. She then looked at the two baffled guards, before she blew them a kiss.
"Intruder, get her!"
Both guards opened fire with their blaster fire, just as the woman cartwheeled out of the line of fire, and out of sight. But the thugs continued to lay down suppressive fire.
"GO! GO! GO!"
That's when the two remaining thugs decided to break cover, aggressively firing at where the female assailant last stood. They rounded the corner and saw the female just standing in the far corner. She had ditched her cape, to give the men a good view of her tightly clothed rump. She had her arms outstretched over her head, which she ran down her head and over her own breasts, which she began to massage.
"Kill her!"
But before they could finish off the horny intruder, a series of blaster bolts flew into the room from behind them, striking them in the back, and the wall ahead of them.
The two thugs slumped to the ground, groaning, before they expired from their blaster wounds.
That's when a Twi'lek lady walked into the human girl's view.
"Mmmh, you almost got me, but you're improving." Jenna said.
"Let's just get the vault open so that we can get out of here." Sienn said as she started searching the bodies for keycards.
When they found what they were looking for, they opened the vault, revealing the many treasures inside. The confiscated goods included sets of armor, bacta patches, weapons, and credits. Basically whatever the previous people who double-crossed the Pykes had on them at the time.
Sienn started to pocket some of the credits, but what Jenna was looking for was far more valuable.
"Ah, there they are." Jenna said as she spotted a decorative metal box.
She walked over, and just when she picked it up, she heard several footsteps behind her. Sienn heard them too.
"It appears that your little plans have been foiled," said a voice behind them. They turned to see a walking holo-projector showing the hologram of Marg Krim. His image was followed by several of his men, who escorted Ahsoka, who was wearing binders behind her back.
"Ahsoka," gasped Jenna.
"This is excellent, with the Jedi's execution, the reputation of the Pyke Syndicate will be restored. It's a pity, Ms. Arbor, that you did not realize that you were being manipulated by a Jedi. Now, I'm afraid you'll have to pay the price for your authentic stupidity."
Ahsoka looked at Jenna. She then gestured behind her and mover her arms, likely referring to her binders. Then she winked.
Jenna smiled. "Oh, I'm afraid that it wasn't me who was manipulated by the Jedi." She said before she summoned a powerful force push that sent everyone to the ground, except Ahsoka, who turned around, so that Jenna could blast her binders.
Ahsoka got to work using her fists and the force to keep the Pykes at bay.
Sienn joined in by providing blaster fire.
This gave Jenna time to open the box she was here for, which held her and Ahsoka's lightsabers.
"Ahsoka!" Jenna called out as she threw Ahsoka's new lightsabers to her, and she caught them without looking at them, and she went to work on the Pykes, slicing through them with little effort.
Jenna ignited her own yellow lightsaber and joined her darling.
Ahsoka then pressed the button on her wrist, which was connected to her handy work in the foundry.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Mandalorian Nite Owls, main camp.
On a rocky click side that was overlooking the Pyke Syndicate facility, a human woman with shoulder length red hair, and wearing silver and blue mandalorian armor, watched the facility as her men in the camp got ready to attack.
For too long her people were driven into exile.
For too long they watched as Mandalore was brought low by pacifists and appeasers. But when they finally took their planet back, they were betrayed by the one who helped them liberate their planet in the first place.
Ever since then, Bo-Katan and all of her other like-minded warriors went into exile again.
They've been forced to take bounty hunter jobs and different trades, something, anything, just to stay alive, striking from the shadows like rats. But now they had an opportunity to make the usurper pay for his crimes.
So she waited.
Then one of her men walked up to her.
"Report." She ordered.
"Everyone's in position, we're ready when you give the word." One of her lieutenants said.
"Good." Bo-katan said. "Ge ready to attack as soon as I give the-"
A loud boom cut her off, and they all turned to the Pyke stronghold just in time to see a large section of it go up in flames. Klaxons blared, and people all over the the port could be heard screaming in terror as they tried to escape from the burning factory.
But the Nite owls dais nothing. They all just stood and watched as their mission was completed for them.
But as they all watched, Bo-Katan lowered her antennae and zoomed in on the burning factory, studying it for any signs of interest.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Pyke facility.
As everyone, Pykes and escapees alike, tried to regain their footing after the blast, Ahsoka used the force to push thugs off of her two friends, and she ran over to help them up.
"Come on!" She exclaimed as she and Jenna began to deflect blaster bolts back at the enemy.
As they made a run for the exit, the hologram of the Pyke leader rallied his minions. "After them, or we'll all suffer the consequences."
His guards then gave chase.
Orange Fury, landing pad.
Ahsoka, Jenna, and Sienn'hra ran through the facility, and made for the door that led to the landing pad that still contained their ride.
Two girls made it across the threshold of the door.
But jest before Jenna could, a red energy shield materialized right in front of her, and she stopped just in time to keep herself from running face first into the shield. "Hey, I'm stuck!"
Ahsoka and Sienn turned around, saw their ensnared friend, and ran back to try and lower the shield.
"Don't worry, we'll get you out," Sienn said as she ripped out the control panel and started hot-wiring the inner circuits.
Ahsoka placed her hand on the shield, and Jenna did the same, mirroring her. They smiled.
But their tender moment was interrupted when a pair of laser turrets lowered down from the ceiling behind Jenna. She swiftly turned around and started deflecting blaster bolts. At the same time, Pyke guards started to pour out of the corridors that led out to the landing pad.
Ahsoka started deflecting blaster bolts back at the Pykes that fired from their vantage point on the adjacent catwalks. Some were felled by their own fire, and the rest retreated back into the facility.
"AAHH!"
Ahsoka heard the scream and turned around to see Jenna struggling to hold her own. Several pykes lay dead at her feet, but the turrets were still active.
"Jenna!" Ahsoka exclaimed, noticing several blaster marks on her white wetsuit. Ahsoka reached out with the force, and made the blaster turrets lock up, and they turned away slowly, firing on the walls and away from Jenna, who ran forward, jumped up, and slashed her blade through both turrets, causing them to fall to the ground, harmlessly.
She then slowly limped back to the shield, before collapsing to her knees, and slumping to the ground.
"No!" Ahsoka whispered in shocked horror, tears filling her eyes. This couldn't be. Jenna was quick, nimble. She couldn't go down like this.
Sienn continued crossing wires until the light on the door flashed from red to green. "Got it!" The Twi'lek exclaimed.
As the shield dropped, Ahsoka ran through the opening, kneeled next to Jenna and gently pulled her into her arms.
"Jenna! Talk to me!"
She hugged the limp, pale body.
"What - what can we do? How-?"
"Kiss me," Jenna wheezed.
"What?!"
Her weak lover coughed.
"If you have time to panic... then you have time to kiss me." She mumbled. "So kiss me."
Tears were streaming down Ahsoka cheeks as she leaned down and kissed the quivering pale lips."
"I don't want this." Ahsoka whispered.
Jenna gasped, and forced herself to smile. "It's alright..." she said as she ran her knuckles across Ahsoka tear-soaked cheeks, "I'll always be... with you."
Her body went limp, and she started to grow cold in Ahsoka's arms.
Sienn kneeled next to them, using her fingers to close Jenna's pale gray eyes.
After a short moment of silence, periodically interupted by Ahsoka's gasping sobs, the alarms continued to go off.
"Ahsoka, we need to go." Sienn'hra said.
Ahsoka looked up, and after a few seconds, she nodded, standing up with Jenna's corpse. She followed Sienn'hra onto the ship with her lover close to her weak heart.
Later, aboard the Orange Fury, Ahsoka pulled a set of bed sheets over Jenna's lifeless body and began to mourn her.
"I'm sorry, Jenna." Ahsoka said as she placed a hand on the sheet-covered head.
Then a voice came in over the PA. "Ahsoka, get up here. We're not out of this yet."
Ahsoka ran up to the cockpit and saw the sensors going off frantically. "What's going on?" She asked as she set herself down in the co-pilot's chair.
"We've got company. Pyke ships are in pursuit."
Just as she said this a series of laser blasts flew past the ship and slammed into the rocky peaks around them. Sienn flew them through canyon, not daring to fly up into the open sky, thus exposing their rear.
"Give me the guns," Ahsoka ordered.
Sienn'hra pressed a few buttons and a targeting screen appeared in front of Ahsoka, controlling the rear gun. She allowed the Force to guide her actions, as she put the targeting crosshairs over one of the approaching ships.
She pressed the triggers, and a series of blaster bolts flew out, and slammed into the lead ship, which spun out of control and crashed into the canyon wall.
But two more still followed.
"Got another one, closing in at point 4-6." Sienn reported as she continued flying. She watched as Ahsoka fired, but several blasts went wide, due to the wild flying on Sienn'hra's part. "Keep it tight, I'm banking right."
As she flew around a corner, Ahsoka waited patiently for the two fighters to round the canyon corner with them. She fired a shot, before she even saw them, and it slammed into one as it appeared into view.
Scratch two.
Then the last fighter, more tenacious than his comrades, unleashed a volley of blaster bolts, which impacted the rear shields, which glowed blue and popped, and one struck the rear gun, leaving them without a means to fire back.
"We lost the rear deflectors, and the gun." Sienn'hra reported.
"Then give me the controls," Ahsoka said as she spotted over, and Sienn complied.
"What are you dooooooooing!" She exclaimed as Ahsoka spun the ship around, and charged straight towards the last remaining Pyke ship.
"We still have the forward shields," Ahsoka explained.
Sienn covered her eyes when the ship's viewport was filled with orange cannon fire, but Ahsoka still charged forward, and so did the Pyke ship. But when the Pyke pilot realized that Ahsoka wasn't going to turn, he panicked and veered right, crashing directly into the canyon wall.
Victorious, Ahsoka pulled the ship into orbit and jumped into hyperspace, leaving behind the nightmare that was Oba-Diah.
