Decepio Malum-Chapter 2
Endar Spire Part II
Carth:
I realized the hopeless nature of my ship-wide command. The Endar Spire was doomed, and the entire crew couldn't stop the Sith Fleet, not by a long shot.
"Bridge Door Breach," the computerized voice toned. "Unauthorized Personal Entry detected"
Pulling my modified blaster from my belt, I quickly checked the charge.
Full, at least I can do some damage before...
I tried to avoid the thought, I still had things to do beyond this ship.
"Get to the escape pods," I yelled, "I'll keep these Sith back!"
Though a Captain usually goes down with their ship, a few stubborn officers took the stand with me.
The blasts filled the bridge with a thick acrid smoke, as well as the overpowering smell of ozone.
The blaster shots died down, and the headcount of remaining troops showed grim loses
Silently gesturing to the remaining troops, I began the slow walk to the Starboard pods.
Stepping under the damaged consoles, I realized the dura-glass beneath me heel too late.
"Freeze, Republic scum," I heard the Sith commander, dressed in vibrant red armor hiss at our small group.
"For the Republic!" was the general response the Sith received. Though we had the will to succeed, we lacked numbers, and I soon found myself alone, pinned down behind the Spire's large Navi-Computer.
Where's the Jedi Savior now? I thought to myself, coldly.
As if in response, I heard the activation of a lightsaber, coupled with a few blaster discharges and multiple screams. Looking up above my barricade, I saw a robed Jedi with a cloak burned in several places.
Walking in, I also saw a uniformed troop, Ensign by the look of him, carrying the still body of a raven haired woman.
"Nice timing," I stated cautiously, "though, I wish you where here a few minutes sooner."
Standing up, I checked the bodies, Sith and Republic alike, for any salvageable items.
"We must move," the Jedi stated nervously
If a threat is great enough to frighten a Jedi, it would be wise to leave quickly, so I let her lead us through the starboard hallway.
"Who are you," I asked quietly to the soldier, after I had strode to catch up with him, "and who is that?"
"I'm Ensign Trask Ulgo, sir," the man replied formally, "and as to her," he said quietly, gesturing to the Jedi with his head, "she is the one who led us here."
"And what about your injured friend? Wife?" I asked, grimacing slightly at the memory that assaulted me.
The blush that crept to his face told me the answer before his stuttering mouth did.
"N-no, Sir, I...um...kind of found her..." he said timidly.
I was about to inquire further when I heard the Jedi activate her lightsaber.
Looking ahead, I saw the black-clad form of a large man, two Jedi dead at his feet, guarding the only passage to the escape pods. The twisted grin on his face belied his cruel nature.
"B-Bandon?" the Jedi stuttered, taking up a defensive stance.
The quaking of her hands was enough to tell me this was no ordinary soldier.
"Come, Jedi, come to your death," the man hissed.
Throwing her hand forward, the Jedi pushed the man, Bandon he had called him, into the open airlock door.
"Run!" she yelled, jumping in behind him
Trask and I where all to willing to obey.
The pained scream told me the Jedi had failed, and I ran through the final room leading to the escape pod.
Seeing Trask, struggling slightly, running through the area, I realized he would not make it before the Dark Jedi was upon him.
He already knew, I realized, as he tossed the young girls body though the door and jammed it behind her.
"NO!" I yelled, banging at the blast door.
A quick check of the camera showed Trask's crumpled body lying at the floor, and the man slicing quickly through the blast door.
Grimly, I lifted the young girl up, climbed into the escape pod, and buckled in.
As I saw the door melt away, I quickly activated the pod, struggling to fasten harness around the injured woman...
