Moss left the room, lightsaber in hand. CP-30 was staying close behind him. The wailing of the alarms stopped but the red lights kept flashing. "They must have overridden a security code," observed CP-30.
They turned the corner with haste and ran into two stormtroopers. Moss deflected the shots and one of the stormtroopers fell dead. The other retreated. "I hate when they run," Moss said. "Seepee, there is an outlet hurry and find out why the alarms were going off."
CP-30 floated his way to the outlet and plugged his information retrieval jack into it. It rotated in the socket a few times. "Will you hurry? They will come with reinforcements," warned Moss.
"Sir, I am going as fast as I can, CP-30 said. "It appears-," CP-30 was cut off by blaster fire. The stormtrooper had brought four others with him. Moss leapt into battle and cutting down two of them quickly. Moss stabbed a stormtrooper and pulled the lightsaber out of the stormtroopers chest, swung around and caught another. The last stormtrooper took a step towards Moss, but Moss kneed the stormtrooper in the chest and smacked him in the head with the butt of his lightsaber.
Moss closed his lightsaber and walked over to CP-30. "What's the news?"
"A prisoner has broken from his cell."
"What is he charged with?"
There was a pause as CP-30 looked for more information. "For being a Wookiee."
"A Wookiee…" said Moss. "He could help us, if we find him. Where was he last seen?"
"Ten minutes ago in corridor 7-13-B. It is all the way across the building," said CP-30.
"That's too far. We would never make it there and back alive. Plus, that was ten minutes ago, the Wookiee could be anywhere. We will have to leave without him." Moss ran off, not waiting for CP-30 to unhook and follow.
The two of them navigated through the Imperial Enclave, occasionally running into scrambling stormtroopers. They turned the corner and ran into three squads of stormtroopers with their back facing the Moss. "We're doomed!" cried CP-30. The stormtroopers turned around.
"We weren't until you shouted," Moss grunted. He ignited his lightsaber and did his best to deflect the blaster fire. There were too many stormtroopers and Moss could feel his strength slipping. His concentration was also slipping.
And then, a vicious roar echoed throughout the hall. CP-30 got excited and said, "Sir! I do believe that is a Wookiee battle cry." Moss looked over the heads of the stormtroopers and saw a giants brown and white Wookiee towering over them. The stormtroopers turned around and the Wookiee picked up two and threw them against the wall. Moss took advantage of the distraction and jumped forward slashing his way through the crowd of stormtroopers. When the last of the stormtroopers were dead, Moss closed his lightsaber and said, "I am Jedi Moss Plot'ki. And this is my droid CP-30."
The Wookiee growled something and Moss turned to CP-30 for a translation. "He says his name is Hooka."
"Well, Hooka, I would love to stay around and chat, but if you haven't noticed, the entire Enclave is looking for us." Hooka growled something and didn't need CP-30's translation to tell him the Hooka agreed.
They turned the corner into the hangar. "So many choices," commented Moss. Hooka growled and pointed to an elongated TIE with curved wings. "Good eye." They ran to it and were almost there when a squad of stormtroopers came in the hangar. They started to fire immediately. Hooka fired his bowcaster at the stormtroopers. One of the stormtroopers got CP-30 in the chest and knocked the droid dead. "No!" screamed Moss. Anger was filling up inside him and he used Force Drain on the stormtroopers. All of the stormtroopers fell to the floor at the same time and the Wookiee growled something.
Hooka climbed into the craft first and Moss wandered over to CP-30. It was dead alright. Moss figured there was nothing he could do. The blaster burned through the main wires. CP-30 would never be the same again if he did fix it. Moss climbed into the craft and as he sat down Hooka fired up the engines and blasted their way out of the hangar at full speed.
The TIE shook and Moss turned on the shield. "Shields up at maximum," announced Moss, trying to hold back his sadness and anger. "You should get the hyperspace coordinates ready." But Hooka was way a head of Moss. Moss leaned over and saw that their destination was to Naboo. "Naboo? What is there?" he asked. But Hooka didn't answer. The ship rocked again and Hooka pulled the hyperspace lever. The stars turned into star lines and then they were in the safety of hyperspace.
