Sparks of Rebellion
Chapter 20: Lisa's Solo Mission
Inside the Defender Class Light Corvette...
Ferus was teaching Lisa a stance used in lightsaber combat called 'Center of Being.'
"Hold the lightsaber horizontally, with the lightsaber hilt just below the chin."Ferus instructed. "You may find use in this meditative stance in combination with more passive and defensive forms. One who fell deeply into this style could almost unconsciously defend from even the most flowing random attacks and feints."
"Well that sounds helpful."Lisa complemented. "Though it makes me feel I have to take less actions for this."
"Just keep practicing and you'll get a handle of this, Lisa."Ferus admitted. "Remember, your lightsaber is an invaluable tool. Even when inactive, it can defuse a potentially volatile situation. Trust me on that."
"I always trust you, dad."Lisa stated with a warm smile.
In Space...
The Corvette was heading to Planet Milvayne.
Inside the Defender Class Light Corvette...
Lisa placed on a few items inside her shoulder bag and lastly her lightsaber.
"Remember Lisa, you will ask the doctor information of Project Stardust."Ferus commented. "And once you have it..."
"I will contact you and rush out of the city, if I get caught by imperials."Lisa finished. "I know."
Ferus smiled. "Good luck, kiddo."
At Milvayne...
A baudo-class star yacht landed at Milvayne City's station and Lisa came out carrying her shoulder bag over her shoulder.
"Welcome to Milvayne, traveller."the imperial officer said. "Present I.D. and authorization documents please."
Lisa handed her ID and documents to the officer before he gave them back to her.
"You may pass, miss."the imperial officer stated.
Lisa walked away and headed into the entrance of the city.
There were holographic viewscreens showing propaganda were displayed in mid air and crowd of people going on with their lives.
"They got propaganda all over!"A holonet voice announced. "Lovely lawful Milvayne! Proof how perfect a world can be when you let the Emperor in!"
"Wow."Lisa commented. "This place is bigger than I expected."
She took a small journal from her shoulder bag.
"Doctor James Sandem."Lisa said before placing the journal away and thought. "A friend of my dad and the person who studies the Empire's movements."
The blonde haired girl took a transport to the lower levels of Milvayne City.
When Lisa got off the stop, she saw it was an empty road.
"Is this a joke?"Lisa questioned.
She then looked down below and saw a pile of old tents surrounded by junk and damaged robot parts.
"Oh my gosh!"Lisa said in disbelief.
Lisa took a deep breath and used the force to land carefully at the lower levels of Milvayne City.
As the blonde haired girl walked around the Underworld, she was heartbroken that so many civilians have been kicked and living poverty.
She arrived at a hideout that had a rusty old door as an entrance and knocked on it.
A face of an old man with dark grey hair appeared in the entrance.
"Hello Mr Sandem."Lisa greeted. "It's been a while."
"I'd supposed you best come in, Lisa."James admitted. "There is much to talk about."
Inside Sandem's Home...
Lisa was eating the shawda club sandwiches that James gave her.
James puts on a holotable which showed a hologram video of a couple and a little girl.
"Smile for the camera, Stardust."the man remarked.
"And stop wiggling, little Jyn."the woman said.
"Okay papa and mama."the little girl giggled.
Then the hologram showed some imperial information.
"Galen Erso, a genius and polymath. Erso is a family man. His wife is Lyra and daughter's name Jyn."James explained. "He was part of the tug of war between Tarkin and Krennic. Though Krennic won, earning Erso's freedom and loyalty."
"Where is he now?"Lisa asked.
"At Coruscant."James replied. "His wife was caring for their daughter while she researched crystals for him on Alpinn before her death. But we still haven't got any information of his daughter's whereabouts."
"What type of crystals was she looking for him?"Lisa asked.
"Kyber crystals."James answered.
"I see."Lisa mumbled and finished the last part of her sandwich meal. "Whatever this imperial project is, it obviously means the Empire are trying to build some sort of super weapon that contains lightsaber crystals."
"Exactly."James answered and pressed a button beneath the holotable causing a data chip to come out.
"Ironic that he named it after his daughter's nickname."Lisa complemented.
James handed the data disk to Lisa.
"This data information is top secret, Lisa."James warned. "So make sure it doesn't fall to the wrong hands."
"I will, Mr Sandem and thank you."Lisa remarked.
Lisa carefully made her way back up to the upper levels before the Milvayne Authority spotted her.
But when the blonde haired girl headed back to the station, she spotted a bunch of imperial officers talking to a few storm troopers next to her baudo-class star yacht.
"If you see this girl call the Authority."the female imperial officer ordered showing a data pad of Lisa.
Not seeing another way, Lisa pressed herself against the wall and carefully uses the Force to send a few detonators towards the yacht.
When the detonators turned off, they caused the yacht to explode distracting the imperials and Lisa to make a run for it.
"Halt, rebel scum!"a stormtrooper shouted.
Lisa took out her lightsaber to deflect the lasers as she rushed in the streets.
"Crazy idea to destroy my own yacht!"Lisa scoffed angrily.
Her expression brightened up, when she saw the Defender Class Light Corvette flying in the sky.
Using the Force, the fifteen year old girl did a high jump and successfully landed to the Corvette's ramp before it closed.
The Defender Class Light Corvette flew away from Milvayne before jumping into hyperspace.
In the Corvette...
Lisa went to the cockpit, where Ferus was flying the ship.
"Despite the yacht explosion as a distraction, I hope you got what we need."Ferus stated.
"Yes, dad."Lisa answered and took out a data disk. "More information about Project Stardust."
"That's my girl."Ferus commented with a smirk.
"So I suppose you don't mind if I get a boyfriend?"Lisa asked.
Ferus frowned. "Sometime sweetheart, you worry me."
Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter:)
