Sparks of Rebellion

Chapter 11: The Stranger

In Garel City...

Jyn Erso was buying a fruit from an Ortolan merchant when she hears two stormtroopers walking by.

The stormtroopers confront a little alien girl, who was stroking her cat Tookie.

"You are in violation of code 3-1-0."the stormtrooper stated.

"She's all I have."the little girl said sadly.

"Hand over the cat."the stormtrooper ordered.

He takes Tookie out of the girl's hands.

"No!"the little girl cried. "Give her back!"

The stormtrooper shoves her aside.

Jyn throws her fruit at the stormtrooper.

"Who threw that?!"the stormtrooper demanded.

"I suggest you pick on someone your own size."Jyn replied with a smirk.

The young woman kicked the first stormtrooper to the ground.

She then hits the second trooper with a stick and flees with the cat.

While fleeing through the narrow streets, Jyn gets pursued by stormtroopers, who fire their blasters at her.

Jyn shoots at a coolant pipe and takes advantage of the leaked gas to flee into an alleyway.

The stormtroopers were joined by two more troopers.

"Where is she?!"

In the alleyway, the Tooka-cat licked Jyn's face.

Jyn and the cat hide beside a rubbish bin.

The Tooka-cat meowed at the woman.

"Shh!"Jyn whispered.

The stormtroopers hear the cat's meow causing them to approach Jyn and the cat's hiding place.

As the stormtroopers approached their position, Jyn shoots a drainage hatch with her blaster causing the troopers to fall into the gutter below it.

One of the stormtroopers tried to cling on to the surface but the Tooka-cat pushes him down.

Jyn and the cat watch over the fallen stormtrooper and the cat responded with gratitude.

Afterwards...

Jyn returns Tookie to the little girl.

"I think this is yours."She said.

"Tookie!"the little girl said happily. "You're back!"

The young woman brought the Tooka-cat in the girl's arms.

"Thank you."the girl admitted. "What's your name?"

Jyn bend down and smiled.

"My name's Jyn Erso."She replied.

"Thank you, Jyn Erso."the little girl remarked.

She then walked away with her Tooka-cat safely in her arms while Jyn ran off into another side of the city.

Ooh Jyn's first appearance!
