Chapter Eleven: Part Two of With a Ninja On Your Side...
Zane rolled his shoulders in anticipation of the fight that he suspected was about to happen. Of course, his sixth sense already warned him of it happening, and Kai gave him permission to reenact the one stealth mission that went way wrong. The Kai giving him permission made it clear that he was desperate to get out of here, and the sooner the better. Sticking to the shadows like his training had taught him to do, he watched as Rex and Obi-wan were escorted out of the room. "That's not good..." Zane muttered to himself. His feelings were amplified when the guards ushered the rest of the slaves off to a different room. Gritting his teeth together, he traveled by shadows towards the door that the slaves were behind. A quick examination of the amazing technology that kept it shut was all that was needed to tell him that he needed Kai's special touch with tech. In other words, this would go much faster if Kai were here and blew the whole thing up for him since there is no way he could break into this door.
"Zane!" Zane snapped his head back so fast, that he was honestly glad that he couldn't get whiplash. Kai and Ahsoka were charging straight towards him, a deep scowl on Kai's face.
"I am in need of your assistance Kai. The lock on the door is different than the ones that we have been trained to forcibly open." Zane ignored the way Ahsoka's eye twitched over his monotone voice.
Kai rolled his eyes skyward, before placing one hand on the lock pad. Within seconds, the lock exploded and the door slid open. Ahsoka darted into the room, quickly assessing that everyone that had been enslaved was alright. Kai impatiently stepped into the room, annoyance flaring across his features. "Come on! We don't have all da..." A yelp cut off of as the floor underneath them suddenly started to move, revealing that it was a death trap.
"Kai!" "Zane!"
Ahsoka jumped across the slowly widening hole, grabbing a young woman by the arm. "Jump! Zane, help me out over here!"
Zane leapt, doing a little spin midair just cause he could, landing neatly next to her. Chaos was already taking over the entire cramped cell as they tried to keep people from falling through the floor, only for electricity to start to cover the walls, forcing the ones that were backed up against the walls to move towards the center of the room.
"We're doomed!" "We need Jay." Ahsoka and the slaves shot the two best friends confused looks over the Jay comment.
Ahsoka tilted her head to the side, arching one eyebrow up in surprise. "Who's Jay?"
"One of our brothers. Electricity doesn't bother him that much. As in his chikara happens to be that he can control lightning." Zane and Kai spoke in unison once again.
"Seriously?" Ahsoka was beginnning to think that Dooku was more of a cuckoo than usual if he took these two prisoner. Or maybe he was just desperate to win the war. Either case, he was not being the brightest leader in this war.
The governor pushed his way forward, eyeing the moving floor nervously. "We need to get my people out of here!"
"We're working on it Governor." Ahsoka hurriedly assured him, while vaguely wondering when the backup that her master had called for would get here.
Zane knelt down, staring straight down at the deep drop that was below them. "How does your people feel about Ryū (dragons)? Or ice slides?"
"What?" Everyone minus Kai turned to stare at Zane as if he were crazy.
Kai thoughtfully nodded his head, peering over Zane's shoulder. "There's a ship down there...and the armor that the guys on it are wearing happen to be the same as the men under your friends' commands. Zane can make an ice slide down to it, which would be fast and safe. If someone, besides me, has any problems with using an ice slide, we can summon our Ryū and just carry you down one at a time."
Zane nodded, his face blank as he looked to Kai. "I am glad to see that at least someone here understands what it is I am talking about."
Kai rolled his eyes skyward, before shooting back a comment. "You just suggesting that we use Evacuation Plan ASAP. Everyone knows what that is..." Kai paused, glancing over at the bewildered Torgutas behind him. "At least everyone knows that back home."
Ahsoka frowned, noting the name of the plan. "How many evacuation plans does your people have?"
"Over a thousand. There is some debates going on whether or not we need more since we get invaded about once a week." Zane stated as calmly as one would comment on fair weather.
"I...really don't want to know where you guys come from." Ahsoka shuddered at the thought of constantly having to leave one's home due to invasion.
Kai frowned, raising one eyebrow up at her as he helped a young child onto the gigantic slide made from ice that Ahsoka hadn't noticed earlier. "Why not? We've got the cool tourist traps and everything... you need to check out the Mega Monster Amusement Park! It's awesome when no one is trying to kill someone over there using rundown rides that have been condemned to be tore down."
Ahsoka vaguely wondered if they even realized how, relaxed, they were over the violence they had to deal with back home. "I'm good..." The floor suddenly disappeared from under her feet, making her fall through the air. A scream of terror tore from her as she waved her arms wildly, panic flaring up as she watched the room she had been in grown smaller and smaller... Ahsoka blinked rapidly as a large red reptile with large wings that appeared to be made from flames dove towards her quite suddenly. Kai leaned over the creatures side, reaching one hand out to her. Within seconds, his fingers curled tightly around her left wrist, right before he hauled her up behind him effortlessly, as if he had done this a hundred times before.
"Hang on! I'm gonna try to land on that ship!" Kai hollered back at her over the loud beating of the thing's wings.
Ahsoka nodded in understanding, quickly wrapping her arms around his waist to keep her from falling off. As they dove towards the ship, she forced one, small, question out. "What is this thing?"
"A doragon (dragon). My doragon to be more precise." Kai lifted one shoulder up, as if it made perfect sense.
"And you couldn't suggest this instead of a Ryū instead?"
"You do realize that Ryū is just the plural version of doragon right?"
