Dimitri looked at the blue transports that carried treasure from the Twi'leks. The young soldier remembered seeing Nazis in Stalingrad stealing treasure and personal Russian items off of the dead.
"Cham says we can use these transports to make it to the capital across." Mace Windu explained. With him were two white-armored clone trooper near a cliff. When the transports came closer, Mace suddenly jumped off the cliff. Dimitri stared in shock as he brought out something and activated it. Dimitri saw a purple blade.
Dimitri and the clones jumped off and onto the transport. He saw Windu put the blade through the metal and cut open a hole. They jumped into the back of the transport and waited.
"Here they come." Said Mace Windu, his ear nearly pressed against the metal.
"Open the cargo hatch!" Said a voice similar to what Dimitri had heard weeks earlier. The hatch dropped as Dimitri prepared his blaster rifle. Mace Windu activated his purple blade.
"Oh no!" Yelled one of the battle droids in fear.
"You're under arrest." The one next to him said."You have the r-" Windu outstretched his hand and the droid quickly floated to him. Mace sliced him like butter.
"We're under attack." Said the other droid before Dimitri shot him with his blaster rifle.
Mace then deflected the lasers from the droids on STAPs.
Reznov would never believe me if I told him all this, Dimitri thought. He looked down on the blue bridge to see how high they were. Suddenly, the bridge looked like it would almost disappear.
"Run for it!" Mace Windu ordered."They're turning the bridge off." Dimitri looked at the end of the bridge. He knew there was no way they could make it.
Dimitri then felt himself being lifted off the ground. He saw that he was flying in the air, along with the two clone troopers. He made it to the end of the bridge just as it disappeared. The two clones troopers were still hanging on to the edge and Dimitri quickly helped them up. As he did, he saw Mace Winud jumping up and onto a STAP, as if he was an acrobat.
He jumped near them. The door near the capital then opened up, showing multiple battle droids that were running towards them. Windu activated his weapon."I'll hold them off. Get that bridge back up!" He ordered.
They nodded as Mace Windu covered them by deflecting their laser blasts. The three, after shooting a few droids on the way, made it to the door.
"Hey, you're not authorized." Said one of the battle droids in the control room.
Dimitri raised his blaster."Save it." He pulled the trigger, putting a bolt in its head. They shot the rest of the droids and pulled the lever."The bridge is up." Dimitri said, looking out the window to see the Twi'lek's on their Blurrgs go across the blue bridge.
Suddenly, blaster fire came from behind them in the room. Dimitri quickly turned around and fired back at the droids. Suddenly, two droids in black came into the room. They threw one of the skinny droids at one of the clone troopers. Dimitri was about to shoot them when one of them quickly punched him in the face.
Dimitri fell to the ground, his nose bleeding a little. He then pulled out a blaster pistol that Tela had given him earlier and pulled the trigger. The bolt went right through its metal skull and it fell to the ground with a thud. He saw the other clone troopers deal with the last droid.
Dimitri just laid on the ground, his breathing fast from the fight with the droid. He gulped and wondered if the battle was over.
Dimitri looked at the Twi'leks celebrating their freedom with the Republic soldiers."So," Said Tela. She sat down next to him on the crate he was sitting."Where are you gonna now?"
He sighed."I don't know. If I return to my homeland, they will only kill me."
They were silent for a moment."Perhaps you can stay here." She said."The Separatist could return."
Dimitri thought for a moment. Where else could he go?.
He looked at Tela and smiled."I think I will stay. For Ryloth."
