The lift ascended. And the smell of that wretched area diminished. Mavka was so relieved but she knew she wasn't entirely free. Now all she was, was an escapee.
Mavka had to think deeply about her situation if she was now to be in prison and no longer an employee of the First Order. She sighed.
She should just give up and let herself be taken in, perhaps even executed. Just get it over with. No struggle, no pain. But thinking onto that disgusting human. She did not want to think of his appearance, his name.
Mavka wandered the corridors. She arrived on an unfamiliar level. One she had not ever explored. Mavka muttered under her breath. Now she was lost.
Turning every corner, her curiosity grew sharp. Now, what exactly was she doing?
She caught a couple of stormtroopers that came through her way. They seemed to always be on a mission. Mavka quickly moved from their sights. Then they stopped in their tracks.
"You there! Show us some Identification. There is an ex technician around here that has escaped the prisoner bay." Said one of the stormtroopers. Mavka hesitated for a moment then she realized that her identification card no longer resided with her.
She cursed to herself. Nervously patting herself.
"Do you have your identification or not, tech?" They were beginning to become impatient. Mavka showed them with no answer. Then they raised their blasters at her.
"You're under arrest for refusing to cooperate." Mavka became confused. They were so immediately so confrontational. Mavka's rolled her eyes. She was so done with these troopers. So, Mavka raised her hands and complied for a moment. Then she paused.
"Do you... see that?" Mavka said. The Stormtroopers stopped, confused at her statement.
"See what?" Said one of them. Mavka pointed towards the distant corridor. But they didn't listen.
"Don't listen to her, she's just—"
Mavka stomped her foot to the ground, drawing their attention to her as if she was angered by their disbelief.
"Listen! I see... - it's that spy! Over there!" Mavka yelled. Finally, they turned around where they spotted no one in the far distance. With their heads turned, Mavka removed her helmet and smacked it against the heads. Shoving and pushing them with all her force. Quickly running away.
"Hey! Stop it right there!" Their blasters attempted to hit her but she had already disappeared past a corner.
Running as fast as she could, she didn't want to be caught up with them. Yet she was indeed bare for many to see.
As Mavka was out of breath, she rested against the wall. Then movement occurred in the distance. Mavka hid and watched. There was an Imperial Officer who came in contact with to stormtroopers. They appeared to be a short woman. Mavka was close enough to hear the conversation.
"You two. Do you know the whereabouts of General Hux? I must speak with him. It is urgent." Said the woman.
One of the stormtrooper spoke."He is currently is in his chambers, Lieutenant."
The woman softly nodded at their answer. "Very well then, could you guide me there?" She said. The two stormtroopers looked at it the other.
"Of course, ma'am. Follow us." And so the stormtroopers and the Imperial and Officer began moving. Perhaps this situation interested Mavka, so she slowly followed them.
Now that her helmet was no longer with her she had to keep herself close to the shadows perhaps not anyone would recognize her. They surely will look at her funny.
Each time an individual would pass by her she would cover her face, looking at the walls curiously. Most imperial officers were too busy to check their surroundings.
It took a while until the stormtrooper and imperial Officer stopped, finally arriving at their destination. Mavka hid for a moment, observing from afar.
"Thank you." The imperial officer took their sidearm and blasted the two stormtroopers dead.
Mavka suddenly grew in concern.
What?!
What just happened? Mavka had to investigate. Carefully she headed to what appeared to be the General Hux's chambers.
Mavka approached the two dead stormtroopers and grabbed one of their blasters. Slowly and quietly, she approached the doorway, she could hear murmuring.
Mavka carefully watched and listened.
From what she could see is that imperial officer holding the General at gunpoint. A violent confrontation.
"—-What is the meaning of this?!" The voice of that familiar General occurred. Mavka could sense a bit of confusion but a bit of fear in his eyes. Reasons why the Imperial Officer is holding a blaster at him are unknown.
The imperial officer removes their hat and throws it across the room.
"I am a spy for the New Republic. I've come to kill you, General." And so it reveals. This was possibly the hard-to-detect spy that was infiltrating the fleet.
"How did you get past—"
"I have heard of your plans, First Order scum. You will not destroy the New Republic! Now, you're not gonna live to do much of anything anymore." The spy fiercely advanced their blaster high and concentrated.
"You're not getting out of here alive." Said the General. He purses his lip in astringency. Perhaps he is accepting his fate.
"—-I know. This is a suicide mission." Said the spy. General Hux's expression slowly turned into a more uneasy phase.
Footsteps deliberately came toward. Behind them. Mavka came forward with a blaster pointing at the spy.
"Drop it." Said Mavka. With the spy's blaster still pointed at the General, they slowly turned their head at Mavka. They didn't speak, but their expression says it all. They cocked their blaster. One movement from them, something would trigger.
Blast!
Sparks fly at the impact. The blare of their blasters dart.
The body of the spy fell cold to the ground. And what was revealed to be was that the spy no longer bared a human form. It appeared itself as a changeling. A hideous one at that. To her surprise, Mavka couldn't believe what she had done. She felt doubtful in her approach. But the General received no injuries.
Each trigger was pulled almost at the same time. Thankfully, the blast did not shoot the General. Mavka was almost in disbelief at her actions. She had thought she was too late. Slowly, she lowered her blaster. Then massive footsteps entered the room.
"A changeling..." Mavka muttered.
The room was suddenly filled with stormtroopers, they immediately pointed their weapons at her, and some started to apprehend her. The blaster that she held was instantly dropped onto the ground. Mavka accepted her fate. Even though she was not the perpetrator.
The General stared at the situation then he returned his passive look.
"Release her." He says.
"Sir?" Said one of the stormtroopers.
"She is no cause to this mess. There was a spy. Thankfully, this girl was here to stop them." General Hux took one uncertain glance at her. Even though he was sure she was going to be taken care of. Mavka did a great cause. Even though she did assault him earlier.
"But sir, she is one of the escapees from the prisoner bay. Lieuten-"
"I will deal with her, soldier." He glared at the stormtrooper. "Now, escort the girl and I to the briefing room." The General ordered. The stormtrooper quickly adjusted their posture and complied with the General's order.
"Yes sir!" The stormtrooper began to move forward towards the exit.
As they left the room. A sudden tall figure came meeting with them. A distinct stormtrooper with chromium armor. It was the familiar individual that Mavka had seen days ago. They stopped in their tracks as they were met with this chromium stormtrooper.
"Ah, Captain Phasma." The General greeted.
"I have been informed that there had been a perpetrator among your midst. It has been dealt with, yes?" Said the Captain. Mavka stared at the intimidating chromium stormtrooper. They definitely were different, unique from the others. The one that commanded all stormtroopers. General Hux nodded at their declaration.
"Yes. It was a deceptive... thing. A spy from the New Republic." The General then entered the room once again, showing the body of the repulsive spy. Both the General and Captain observed the body as a few stormtroopers prepared the body for waste. Soon, the Captain noticed Mavka's presence closeby.
"Who is this, General Hux?" Questioned the Captain. They pointed the back of their blaster towards Mavka who ineptly gazed away. General Hux glanced at her, wondering what the Captain was suspecting. He scoffed. Then resumed his latent look.
"This... girl was the one who eliminated the spy. Somehow she knew." General Hux replied.
The chromium stormtrooper stared at Mavka for a moment.
"Is this the one who assaulted you, General?" Asked the Captain. General Hux somewhat snarled at her statement.
"Yes, you need not remind me, Captain." He rolled his eyes and held sourness in his expression.
"She is also the escapee from the prisoner bay. Lieutenant Berik has reported her disappearance." Said the Captain. They both look at her as she avoids looking at them. General Hux sighs.
"Tell Lieutenant Berik he does not have to concern himself with her any longer. I will deal with this matter myself." He exits the room and soon leaves the Captain. Mavka follows him as they are escorted by some stormtroopers.
Now her path suddenly changes, unveiling to be more unknown.
