The tale of the brotherhood
Chapter seven: Escaping
5 years after interlude chapter, clone wars has continued for two months now, clone troopers are now a familiar sight.
She was right; we didn't kill the wise one. She died for nothing and was innocent, Karrk thought. It was now a year from the day Teela died of exhaustion. Karrk would himself like to give up and die, but he wasn't that type. That way, his spirit wouldn't ever find peace in the Force. He looked out of his cell's window and saw the sun climb up to sky slowly, and knew that he would in an hour or less be back at those mines. Ten minutes later, a knock came at the door, and the door opened. A guard was there to take him to the transport that took them to the mines. In the transport, he caught a glimpse of Raset. This has to stop.
Raset brought the axe down yet again. It was probably the millionth time he did it. No, trillionth. He looked at Karrk beside him, and as he paused, a guard hit him with a stun baton in the back. "No slacking," the guard said. Beside Raset, Karrk paused too. "I've had enough," he said. With these words he took his axe and threw it at the guard, but missed. "Hey, you're going to solitary for that!" the guard shouted. "No I won't!" Karrk said and punched the guard. The other guards moved at Karrk. Raset slammed his axe to the stone, and cut a small piece of rock, and threw it at the guard who had been punched by Karrk. Two guards attacked at Karrk, while two others drew blasters. They fired at Karrk, but missed as Raset jumped on them. Karrk delivered a complicated series of punches and kicks at the guard, and he fell to the ground. "But you're just a prisoner..." the guard uttered. "No, I am a member of the brotherhood," Karrk sneered, and dropped a huge rock on the guard, breaking his skull. Meanwhile, Raset took care of the ones who had blasters. Soon, the shift's leading guard came into the cave. "What's going on here?" he asked. "Mutiny!" Raset answered and jumped at the guard and slashed across the guard's face with his claws. The guard cried, and held his face. Karrk swung a laser axe at the guard's stomach. A loud squishing sound was heard. Karrk and Raset took blasters from the guards, and moved on. Before leaving Karrk turned to their fellow prisoners. "Flee, stay, your choice," then he left.
Karrk and Raset headed for the transport. At it were guards, but they were killed fast enough with the blasters. Karrk looked first at the dead guards, then at the blasters. "We really need to get rid of these blasters, before I start envying longspits," Karrk said. Raset checked the controls of the transport, then gave Karrk a thumbs-up to indicate he could work with it. Karrk jumped in, and Raset took the transport to a course towards the jail. Karrk couldn't help noticing this. "Umm, why are we going there? Back to the jail, I mean," Karrk asked. "We need equipment. Guards have it. We need information. There is a computer in the prison governor's office. We need a ship, or at least a two- seated atmosphere fighter. Jail has those too," Raset told him. "And the jail has hordes of guards too," Karrk muttered.
The gates were close, and a code Karrk and Raset didn't know, so Raset rammed the transport trough the gates, though this attracted the attention of the guards. As Karrk shot another guard, he spoke. "And where are we heading?" he asked. "Armory," Raset told him, as another guard died. But even though their fighting skills, Karrk and Raset tired, and they barricaded themselves to the Armory. "This wasn't how I exactly planned it," Raset said between gasps for air. He looked around and saw lockers. Raset grinned. "Time to plunder," he said. They moved and took useful items they found, though they abandoned any kind of armor. Both strapped on a belt of thermal detonators. Karrk took a blaster rifle. Raset opened the last closet, then slammed his fist to a wall. "No melee weapons at all," he groaned. "But look at this," Karrk said and held up a small pouch made of spacer's leather. Raset looked at it. "How is that going to help us?" he asked. "If we get out, I bet we can buy some melee weapons in a city," Karrk answered. Raset nodded. "Now," Karrk said as he checked his blaster rifle was powered up. "Let's go and show those scumbags that we are leaving this place. Karrk opened a small box and inside it was a couple of spike shaped items. He held one up. "What's this?" he asked Raset. Raset looked at it. "A computer spike," Raset answered. "We're going to need it," Raset took the spikes, and Karrk opened a small window, then threw a thermal detonator out. Screams of pain were heard. Raset took a small table, probably used to tinker with weapons, and jammed it against a door, then he put two thermal detonators on it. He ran with Karrk as far away as they could as the door blew open, and they opened fire. The guards didn't expect such tactical attack from mere prisoners, and they fled, but received several shots from Karrk and Raset. Raset was nearly hit from a shot that came from the tower that was used to keep an eye on the prisoners and transports. Raset cowered under a transport. "I'll go to take care of the tower, you keep those guards from frying my tail," he said. "Okay," came Karrk's curt reply as he powered up his rifle. As soon as Raset left for the tower, more guards came. "This is for Teela," Karrk said as he shot a guard between the eyes. "This is for Nargati," he said as he shot trough a guard's stomach. "This is for Hyrsai," he said as he threw a thermal detonator at a group. "And this is for the wise one!" he cried as he shot one soldier trough the heart. He heard a scream, and he looked behind to see a guard fall down from the tower. He looked up to the tower and saw Raset show him the intergalactic sign of 'get up here and fast'. He threw his second last thermal detonator and then ran up to the tower. Raset was waiting for him there. "Nice job," Raset complimented. "My pleasure," Karrk said as he sat down. Raset worked on the consoles. "Hey Karrk, give me a computer spike!" Raset shouted. Karrk looked at him blankly, but then reached for the bag and drew a spike, then gave it to Raset. Raset jammed the spike to the console's input. "What exactly does that do?" Karrk asked. "It hammers the security system with garbage data, until the security system is bypassed. I've seen more complicated systems than this. To crack a really good system it might take 15 spikes and tens of hours of work," Raset explained. Karrk nodded. After 15 minutes, Raset announced he had cracked the system. "I can only check security systems and security cameras with this thing. We need the keeper's computer to get any info," Raset told Karrk. "What info?" Karrk asked. "We need to find any info on the wise one's murder investigation. That way we can trace the poison," Raset said. "Poison?" Karrk asked, totally off the track. "The wise one was shot with a dart gun. Darts don't kill without some kind of poison," Raset explained. "They must've checked the wise one's body," Karrk said. "Right," Raset said. "But, he was killed, what, ten years ago?" Karrk asked. "I bet they have data on big time murders for 50 years," Raset said. "Just how much?" a hardened voice asked. The door opened and a man came inside with a blaster pointed at Raset's face.
