Author's Note: While I am not getting many reviews still, I will press on and hope this gets noticed. Things are picking up now since I have spare time to write this. Thank you to the few who have reviewed so far. It spurs me on to write, really. If I have gotten less then 10 reviews by this point, I would have stopped for lack of interest. On with the story.

Sithies go splat

The entire complex rocked and shook from the explosion. Mission could hear equipment and crates fall with a THUMP! to the ground down the gray hallway, the power also slowly flickered out after the rumbling stopped.

What the...? Slowly, the power to the force field keeping her in the cell faded out of existence, and she immediately ran out and into the hallway, checking for anyone coming to re-secure the cell block.

Seeing nothing down either hallway but upturned crates and other assorted equipment. The gray hallways looked nearly exactly like the Sith base on Manaan. The left end of the hallway led to the 'interrogation' room, while the right end led to the hallway that connected all the cell blocks to the guard post, then the elevator to the surface. The other wall from her was another cell, the one that had kept Juhani. The entire complex was mostly in the dark, except for the flashing red lights that made up the majority of her seeing ability.

Alright, now to get us out of here. Big Z is so going to kill me for this... She sighed, from what I remember, they keep our equipment in a storage room off the torture chamber, and Juhani is in there. Now to just find a way to-

She was interrupted as she heard the familiar sound of a lightsaber going through durasteel.

Mission looked around, and saw a blue beam of energy jutting out from the room Juhani was in. Looks like she managed to break free.

After a minute, the door was melted enough to step through, and Mission ran to give Juhani a fierce hug, "I was wondering when you would get out of there. Those Sith must be incredibly stupid to not build backup generators for the cells."

Juhani smiled ferally in front of her, "Yes, it would appear so. However, we must make haste and leave this place as soon as possible. Your equipment is within the storage room. I have my robes and lightsabers as you can see. I will guard against any unwelcome guests until you can get your things."

Mission nodded and rummaged through the small hole in the door, sliding her small frame is was no problem. She looked outside and saw Juhani intently watching for any intruders. Smiling to herself, Mission went to the back of the room.

Mission noticed two very mangled bodies to each side of the chamber in the middle, both wearing Dark Jedi robes. Probably were beaten to death by Juhani...

After finding the storeroom door open, she began to rummage through her equipment. Donning the Baragwin Shadow Armor Revan had bought for her use during their stay on the Station around Yavin. Taking the rest of her equipment into her belt and backpacks, she steps out and into the adjoining room.

Just as she was halfway to the door, the emergency generators /did/ kick in, and the complex was flooded with light as well as a booming voice, "Attention! Prisoners have escaped. Repeat, prisoners have escaped." The, the same booming voice, "Attention! Base complex is under attack. Repeat, base complex is under attack. All personnel to defensive positions." A bit late for that.

Slipping back through the lightsaber-scorched door, she spotted Juhani fighting off a squad of Sith troops. Mission immediately aimed her needler pistol at the Sith, stunning three of them so that Juhani could dispatch them with a swing of her lightsabers.

The cycle continued. Mission turned on her stealth belt when one of the Sith tried to go for her, which allowed Juhani to back-stab said Sith easily as they got confused. All in all, a dozen troopers were dead in less then a minute from their tactics.

Juhani looked to Mission, who deactivated her stealth belt only a moment ago, "We should attempt to help the attackers as much as possible. I have little doubt that the Republic is behind our opportunity to escape."

Mission nodded. "We should find a computer room so I can download the blueprints for this place, see where we can do the most damage."

"Then let us get moving." Juhani seemed to meld into the background as Mission activated her belt.

Mission replied, "If I am right, then there should be a computer in the guard post. We should head over there and see what damage we can do from there."

The lights flickered on and off once more as a rumble went through the complex once again. Juhani looked around, "The Sith probably have prisoners in the other cell blocks. I will take the lead, do not attempt to engage in combat unless they notice us." With that, they set off.

Coming around to the corner, Juhani peeked around. "Seems they are trying to blockade us in with War Droids at the checkpoint. I can see a firefight going on between the rest of the prisoners and about a dozen of them. We should help disable them and secure the others as allies."

Needing no more encouragement, Mission slowly made her way over to the blockaded guard post. With the specially designed armor and her stealth belt, no one got a peak at her, especially since Revan had made modifications to the suit to dampen her thermal signature enough to not be detected by thermal sensors.

Mission snuck past two Sith troopers guarding the door and knocked them both out with a well-placed needler shot, neither of them had a chance to retaliate.

The droids however, did notice the weapon sound, and one turned to meet the threat.

After swearing in three different languages, Mission was hiding on the floor while the droid in question proceeded to turn the small booth into scrap metal with its heavy repeating blaster arms.

It was short cut -literally- however, by Juhani using the force to disable it, and then slicing it in two. Apparently, these droids weren't Cortosis laced like the Star Forges' droids. Weird, I would have thought that the Sith would have kept them around for Juhani, probably aren't that smart...

Now that Juhani is providing distraction... Mission put on the interface visor she bought herself with donations from various shopkeepers around the galaxy, and set about slicing into the computer.

She heard the droids get sliced down to size as Juhani distracted as best she could for the moment. She proceeded to cut the power to the prison force fields, and then she converted the droids to obey her commands. "Cease fire!" she cried out.

Immediately, the newly converted mechanical minions stopped firing, and so did the prisoners. Mission left the booth, and for the first time, got a good look at her new toys.

They looked like the experimental assault droid on the Leviathan, but...different, they were on spider legs instead, and looked a bit more formidable.

Juhani came up to her. "Most of these prisoners are Rakata, and some Republic soldiers. They have agreed to join with us." She looked to the seven that were still standing, "What did you do to them?"

Mission beamed. "Say hello to their new Master."

Juhani looked at Mission with surprise, but then snickered. "I suppose it is fitting. Use the enemies minions against them."

Both of them frowned at the reference to Revan, but Mission spoke up first. "We should get going. I managed to download the plans for this place. There seems to be some sort of cloaking field generator on level two. The Sith have the elevators locked down, but I can get a key-card to use it if you and the droids here can hold this position for five minutes."

Juhani nodded, "Get on it then."

Mission went back into the booth and for the next six minutes, sliced through security layer after security layer. Then, in a yelp of triumph, a dozen security passes were issued through the dispenser below the computer.

Leaving the booth behind, she looked to the droid and Juhani, giving the Cathar one of the cards, and the others to the leaders of the other groups of prisoners.

All of them looked to Juhani then. "What?" She replied to their stares.

Mission noticed it first, and looked to Juhani with a smirk, "I think you're the unofficial leader of this breakout. You're a Jedi, and the Rakata are deferring to the Republic now."

Juhani widened her eyes in surprise, but nodded. "Let us go then. The sooner we leave, the better."

Mission looked to the droids, which were awaiting orders. "Droids, clear a path to the elevator. All Sith are to be eliminated." And so, they scampered off on their legs, while the prisoners and themselves followed in their wake.

Three minutes, and about six dozen corpses of dead Sith later, they were at the elevator.

Mission used her pass first, but it was not accepted, "Damn! I could have sworn that these were the right-" then her eyebrows raised, "-oh, now I remember...I misinterpreted. These are only meant to allow the Sith to open and close our cells. The elevator system is on a completely different system." Juhani groaned.

Mission raised her hands in defense, "Hey! It's not my fault the base went into a security lock-down! I can still slice the lock though." She began her work.

It was interrupted though, as the elevator opened to reveal another two squads of Sith, this time with two Dark Jedi.

The droids immediately opened fire on the Sith troopers as they raised their shields. The hot pellets tore through the armor of two Sith, killing them instantly.

The Dark Jedi replied with a force wave that sent nearly eight of the Republic soldiers into the far wall with a sickening crack. They fell to the floor with cracked necks, dead.

Juhani was unaffected however, and began to duel with both Jedi at once while the remaining 24 prisoners and the droid backup began to cut down the Sith with blasters. However, one of the Jedi managed to distract Juhani enough, and the other opened his palm to send lightning into the group.

Four screams were heard as Rakata and humans alike were fried to a crisp. The droids turned to meet the Dark Jedi who tried to wade into the group, and began to distract him with their repeaters. It sent him into a force-augmented run around the group, and he began to cut down the Rakata behind the others with his lightsaber.

Mission, meanwhile, was waiting for the perfect window to get a couple grenades in, and saw this as her chance. Turning on her stealth belt, she walked up to the elevator, seeming oblivious to the blaster rain that was quickly shredding both sides to pieces. A dozen Republic already had holes in their chests where their hearts had been a moment ago, on the ground.

Mission took out two plasma grenades, and threw them into the elevator, "Here, catch!"

She ducked out of the way and landed on the floor near the far wall. Her thump was accompanied by the satisfying screams from nearly all the Sith in the Elevator. Bingo.

While it didn't kill them, their armor was burned nearly off, and one of them threw a grenade out in retaliation.

One of the Sith pressed the button up, and the doors closed, leaving the remains of the prisoner group with a very primed plasma grenade.

One of the Republic soldiers dropped himself on top of it, and it exploded into his chest. He took it all, dying instantly.

The entire fight lasted about a minute.

The other prisoners looked to the man, and shook their heads. One spoke up, "What do we do now?"

Juhani came to the rescue. "Mission, is there any other way up besides this elevator?"

"I don't think so, but I'll check again." She pulled out a datapad and began to study it. She was interrupted by a loud series of screams within the elevator shaft, but they all ignored them.

A minute later, "There is a ventilation system out, but it was designed so that prisoners couldn't get out through them. All of the shafts are straight up and down nearly, and we don't have anything that can attach to a flat surface to climb up with. There are maintenance ladders up through the elevator shaft though." She punched a few buttons, then pointed to the side of the elevator, seemingly at a blank wall, "There is a small spot that you would insert a card in for mechanics it seems, but a lightsaber will do just as well."

Juhani looked the elevator over, then plunged one of her lightsabers into the spot Mission mentioned.

"Actually, I can probably slice the door open faster then that will melt."

Juhani nodded, "Get to it then child."

"Hey, I ain't a kid!" She pouted.

Juhani smiled, "You are legally. Enough bickering, let us get to work."

Mission nodded, growling, and set to work on the control console.

One of the Republic soldiers snickered, but Mission ignored him.

After about twenty seconds, the door opened, minus the elevator car.

"Good work." Juhani looked inside. First up, then to the sides, then down, "Those grenades you used did a good deal of damage Mission. There are three Sith bodies on the ground here, and I can see the roof of the elevator from here. They burned through the floor."

"See, I can do things right!" Mission beamed.

Juhani chuckled, "Indeed you can. Now then, let us get going. How many floors up is this cloaking generator?"

"About two, shouldn't take long to climb up."

Juhani nodded, and they all started up the shaft ladders.
