Rage got to her feet in a fury. With one hand she ripped the Imperial guard that had moved to help her off his feet and threw him against the far wall. She let out a burst of purple charged force lightening out into the hall, bringing several stormtroopers on routine patrol to their knees. Their lungs fried, they fell over and tore off their helmets, their agonized screams silent in their throats as Rage rushed out into the hall in time to watch Rehn's shadow disappeared around the corner. She swore evenly in Sith as she pulled her sabre and hurtled the fallen stormtroopers. She stopped near a control panel and slammed her fist through the glass, punching the escape alarm. A high pitched shriek could be heard throughout the ship. The docking bay was close, and it appeared Gade was making full speed in that direction.
"If I lose, her and Vader finds out, I might as well postal my own ass off to the Rim...I'll never eat a Tuskain gravy steak on Imperial Centre again. "She reached the over-viewer of the docking bay and jumped. It was a good twenty foot drop but she rolled out of the impact and her eyes darted around the cluttered docking bay before she slid into the shadows and closed her eyes. Rage drew on the Force and felt her hearing expand. Every scuffed foot was agony but there was something else out there.. she locked on it and filtered out everything but the one sound. The ragged breathing was as clear as the alarm klaxon as she moved on silent feet towards where the Thalcein was hiding behind a crate. Rehn was still trying to get out of her restrains, and Rage quickened her step hoping to get to the rebel soldier before dislocated her own shoulder in the attempt, requiring a short vacation in a bacta tank. Rage suddenly froze as she felt a pull in the Force. Something had changed, She could feel it - a blossom of hope, where there had only been angry desperation before. Rage's eyes narrowed as Gade edge out from her hiding spot, free of her binders and muzzle. With two giant strides the Sith jumped atop the closest crate and made her way over, getting a birds eye view of young rebel.
The restraints were laying near a load lifter. Rehn had used the long sharpened prongs of the cargo lifter to crack the casing and pry open the restraints. Rage was seriously impressed, both with her ingenuity and her strength. She stepped to the edge and watched as Gade looked around, looking for a likely means of escape in the different ships that were settle throughout the bay. The Thalcein's mind was closed to any probes, but her body language was enough to show her anxiousness. Her skin rippled and sweat matted down the normally soft fur. Her ears moved, one cocked to the side the other behind her. She snorted softly and it was apparent was having a hard time not shifting her feet. Rage held her breath and then dropped, intending to strike the young warrior on top of the head with bother feet. Even in her weakened state, Gade was alert and caught the flash of movement before the strike could topple her, throwing herself backwards against a crate, allowing for a greater distance between herself and her enemy. Her ears flew back as she bared her teeth and kicked out with her powerfully muscled leg. Rage was ready and somersaulted through the air, landing easily on her feet. She moved in close to Gade and smashed the butt of her lightsabre against the side of Rehn's face, then grabbed her by where her head and neck met in a choke-hold, keeping the filly's body close to hers so that Gade couldn't bite and pulled the young warrior up off her feet up so she could not strike at her with her spurs. What she didn't figure on was Rehn thrashing so violent as to slam bother herself and Rage into the nearest bulkheal. Rage felt a rib snap and lost the grip on Rehn's throat meant stop the airflow to the Thalcein's lungs until she became passive.
Freed from the vice-like grip, Rehn punched at the human, catching Rage in the shoulder as the Sith tried to dodge. Rage fell and drew her blaster, set for stun, and aimed it at the Thalcein's short but powerful form, but Rehn kicked out with her spur and speared the blaster barrel, destroying it. Rage threw it instead, hitting Rehn in the face and using the distraction to get out from under her deadly feet. She rolled, barely avoiding being stomped into the deck. Rehn spun and headed towards one of the closest ships, a personal shuttle that had just docked. She bolted towards the small ship as the ramp came down. Her teeth bared, she rushed into the shadows or the shuttle's entryway only to be met by a hard kick to the chest that sent her back the way she'd come. She slid down the ramp clutching her ribs and looked up to see a huge hooded figure stepped into the light. The hood concealed all but the tip of his muzzle and sowly he drew it back to reveal the long, chiselled face of a strikingly handsome Thalcein male, a large lightsabre gripped tightly in his right hand while a somewhat smaller one was clipped to his belt. He looked down at her, his ears cocked ahead and to one side as if he were amused.
"Going some where young one? We only just met and already you're running away." The stallion said, his voice deep and smooth, his eyes sliding over her in a manner that made her feel sick. He looked up as Rage stepped out of the shadows and clipped her sabre to her belt, standing in a manner that kept the filly trapped between them.. "Most impressive, Lady Vader. Not often a human goes hand to hand with a Thalcein and get to walks away." Rage shrugged looking at him.
"I'm more than human. I'm Sith. You're late."
"My apologizes but I had a few things to collect before I met the young one here." Drakahn said with a leering smile at the Sith woman and patting the smaller lightsabre on his belt..
