"So, why exactly are we going to a high-security prison? It doesn't exactly sound like the best place to hang around..."
"Bardo, quit complaining." I grunt back at my brother who has been mumbling about everything for the past hour.
"I've already told you. You need a strong team, and there is somebody being held there that would be a wonder on your team. They're ruthless, strong-willed, and there is not anybody in the galaxy with a better shot than them." Loyus says, standing up and walking over and looking out of the front of the ship.
"Okay, okay. So how exactly are we planning on getting her out of there once we get there? I mean, I know you're the Queen of Rattatak, but your power is voided once we're off your home planet." Bardo mutters, except this time he has a valid point.
"As much as I hate to admit it Bardo's right. I sincerely doubt they're going to just let us walk in and take a prisoner away. They're being held there for a reason." I add, and Loyus nods at me.
"I never said it would be easy. But what is in life?" She says with a grin, and returns to her seat. Mak seems excited by the prospect and Tarth does the smart thing and keeps out of it.
"Sorry Mak, but you ain't coming along on this one. I need you to guard the ship." I say, and instantly regret it because his face drops.
"Maka-mopu." He moans, folding his arms.
"He's sure not impressed, but I'm more than happy to be where the fighting isn't." Tarth adds, poking the little Ewok which squeezes a grin from him.
"You three, just make sure you come back alive." Tarth adds, preparing to dock in the space station being used as a prison.
As to be expected, two armed guards await us at the entrance from the docking port to the main area of the prison. I'm about to come up with some lame story that I know won't work, but before I can Loyus pushes past me.
"I'm here to see Adriav." She says, causing a look of horror to spread across the guards faces.
"She's in complete lockdown. No visitors allowed." The first guard says, shuffling his gun as if to make sure Loyus had noticed it, but it doesn't phase her.
"I am here, to see Adriav. Do I have to say it again?" The guard becomes uneasy, causing a grunt of angst from the second guard who walks over to Loyus and places a hand on her shoulder.
"Rules are rules ma'am. As much as you may not like them you have to stick by them. Now why don't you and your little friends hop back into your ship and stop bothering us."
The guards words seem to ignite something within Loyus, who pulls out her very own blaster and before either guard can react she has shot a hole straight through both of their heads.
"They're probably assholes anyway. Who's gonna' miss them?" She smirks, re-hiding her gun within her long, flowing white robes and walking through the doorway. Bardo and I are quick to follow, since right now she's the only one who has any clue what's going on. Before we're even through the doorway, however, alarms are sounding and red lights are flashing everywhere.
INTRUDER ALERT. ALL GUARDS STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND FIND THE INTRUDER. PERMISSION TO KILL, I REPEAT, PERMISSION TO KILL.
"Well that's just fucking great, thanks a whole lot, Loyus!" Bardo screeches, pulling out his lightsabers. I do the same, and Loyus decides there's no longer any point in hiding her blaster.
"Beka? Bardo? Loyus? The prisons defence systems are starting up. They'll blast the hell outta' us, I gotta go hide somewhere and do a pick-up somewhere else. I'm sorry." Says the voice of Tarth through the earpiece.
Fuck.
"We'll find another way out. I'm expecting my friend will know every in and out of this place by now. They're smart." Loyus states, continuing to stealthily walk through the passageways of the prison. Prisoners tap on the glass behind their cells, crying out for help from the horrific conditions they're being held in.
"Wait, so this Adriav is a personal friend of yours?" Bardo asks, continuing to look out for any guards that may jump out at us.
"Well, yes, but I'll explain that later." Loyus replies, "Guards!"
The three of us turn on our heels to see three heavily armed guards running at us. Bardo throws his orange saber at one of them and it practically slices him in half, and while the other two are recovering from the shock I use the force to lift another up and throw him off of the bridge they are running across to his death. Loyus handles the final one with a simple blast to the skull, just as Bardo's saber has returned to him. The three of us nod at one another and continue to follow Loyus.
"Loyus, you seem to know this place awfully well." I could've killed Bardo there and then for the shitty comments he constantly makes against a Queen, except he's my brother, and that would be morally unacceptable.
"I may be the Queen of Rattatak, but like you said, outside of there my power is useless. I may or may not have broken out of this place a few times."
Bardo shakes his head, and I shoot a look at him telling him to not say another word. He catches my drift and shuts up.
"So, Loyus, what exactly is your friend in here for?" I ask, still not taking my gaze off of the bridge the three guards walked across as we walk away in case more appear.
"She murdered her family. You know, common stuff."
Bardo's jaw almost drops off and I can feel myself begin to stutter.
"You want us to hire a fucking murderer!? Screw that. Beka, call Tarth, I'm outta here." Bardo laughs sarcastically, turning away.
"You dare, Bardo." I reply, using the force to render him movement less.
"Oh come on Beka! How are we gonna trust a girl that killed her own family?" Bardo shouts, a look of anger spreading across his face.
"You broke her out of prison. She'll owe something to you. You may see her as nothing more than a murderer, but she's a Zeltron. The Zeltron people are very believing in the favour for a favour deal. She won't kill you, at least not until the mission is completed anyway." Loyus says, ushering us to stop fighting and to keep the nose down, "Now come on!"
"That cell over there!" Loyus says, running over to it. I'm shocked she can run, because I am exhausted. We took out several more hoards of guards on the way and yet Loyus is still full of energy.
"Beka, make a mental note to install a gym into the ship. I am so unfit..." Bardo gasps, leaning on the wall and trying to catch his breath.
"You're not the only one." I reply, laughing and patting him on the back.
"Loyus Montani."
An almost seductive voice from behind the screen is heard by the three of us, and Bardo and I walk over to join Loyus.
"Adriav Winters. It's a pleasure to see you again, old friend."
"I think the last time was two years ago, when we were both in here together. The good old days. Until we both broke out. Except you had the power of a planet to protect you from being brought back. I had nothing." Adriav says, almost bitterly.
"I told you that you were welcome to come to my planet any time you wanted."
"You know that's not my style. I prefer to travel. Except there's not a whole lot of travelling that can be done in here. You wouldn't believe how much they've locked down on security since our little breakout."
"Oh believe me, we know. Although I think we may have killed half of the guards on the station just getting here." I add, and she looks over at me.
"And who exactly are you?" She says with disgust.
"I was going to be the girl to break you out of here, but if you're going to be like that about it I may have to re-consider." I spit back. A look of realisation crosses her face and she nods.
"Well, you may have a problem." She whispers.
"What kind of problem? It didn't stop us last time." Loyus reassures her.
"There is no way to open one individual cell. You have to open them all."
What we're going to have to do to get her out of here begins to sink in. Every single prisoner on this station running loose, possibly attacking us, most likely attacking the guards. Still, it doesn't make it any less of a dangerous plan.
"We'll do it! Won't we?" Loyus says, looking over to me to make sure I'm on board, "Anything to get you out of here safely. We always promised we'd come back for each other!"
"There's a computer in the main control room. The password is K-4-3-O-Z-9-8-G." She smirks, "These guards are damn fucking stupid for talking about the important shit around me."
"And what are you gonna do when we open the cells?" Bardo asks.
"Isn't it obvious?" She grins, looking at the ground and allowing her expression to turn more serious before looking up again, "Fuck, shit, up."
"Guards!" Loyus shouts, shooting one of them straight in the skull.
Damn, she has a good shot.
Bardo runs, using his sabers to block the blasts being shot at him, and twirls around, severing the heads of several more guards. A guard shoots at him from behind, but I use the force to twist the blast around and it shoots itself straight through the guard that shot it.
"Two more!" Bardo shouts.
"I got them, you two get to the computer console!" I shout, and they oblige.
"Aw, a little girly thought she could take us on on her own!" The first guard laughs.
"Funny!" The second one joins in, and the both point their blasters at me. About ten shots are fired, but I block every single one, and then jump forward, thrusting my lightsaber through the stomach of the first guard, before pulling it out and twirling to slice it through the neck of the second. Three more guards appear out of nowhere, but I just use the force to throw them backwards through a glass screen and downwards.
And that's when it happens.
More sirens begin to blare, more alarms go off, as every prisoner in the facility is released. Most of them begin to occupy the guards and give them something else to do instead of attack us, but I see through the glass screen that on the floor below Loyus and Bardo are trying to fight off groups of them. I use the force to fly up and through the air, and land gracefully next to the two of them, greeted by looks of shock from the prisoners.
"Miss me?" I ask, taking a fighting stance.
"Of course." My brother replies, taking his stance.
"You ready to fight our way out?" Loyus asks, also preparing to fight.
"Go!" I scream, running forward into the crowd. Blasts, lightsabers being sliced through the air, the prisoners attempting to fight back but to no avail. More than anything I use the force to throw them backwards, as that at least knocks them out instead of killing them, which is more than I can say for Loyus and Bardo. Still, there were the occasional few that refused to go down and so were greeted with a friendly lightsaber to the face, stomach, or neck, depending on their size and stature.
"You ready to get the fuck outta' here yet? I can't hide forever!" Tarth shouts through the earpierce.
"Give us twenty minutes!" Says a voice that isn't one of the three of us. We look up to see Adriav, holding two identical guns she clearly stole from the guards.
"Yeah. What she said." I reply, running over to her.
"Ready to go?" I ask, in between throwing prisoners backwards and Adriav shooting them before they hit the ground.
Loyus didn't lie about her having a good shot.
"More ready than I'll ever be. Just one more thing, though." She says, twisting around and pointing her gun at a massive metal barrel in the far left corner. A blast flies from her gun, and impacts with it.
"The core reactor." She whispers with a grin.
"That means this place is gonna' blow-" I start, only to be interrupted.
"In two minutes. Looks like we better move!" Adriav shouts, and Loyus and Bardo don't fail to comply. The four of us run through the station, shooting, slicing, and using the force to throw anyone in our way.
"Tarth. We need pick-up. Now!" I shout. But that station has already began to explode. Whole parts of it blow off, and the docking station the ship was originally at is completely blown off.
"We can't go through there. We'll be sucked into space."
"It's the only thing we can do!" Bardo replies, pressing his earpiece to talk to Tarth.
"Tarth, take the ship to as close to the door leading to where the docking station was as you can. I've got an idea." Bardo says, and I hear Tarth reluctantly agree.
"So what's your master plan?" I grunt, looking at my brother who doesn't seem to encouraged by his own plan.
"We jump."
"What?!" I scream, just as he hits the button to open the door.
I'm almost sucked in straight away but luckily I manage to grab hold of the doorframe just as all of the oxygen is sucked out. Bardo points from me to the ship and I know what he wants me to do. While hard to do in a no gravity situation, I take a run up and use the force to guide me across the vacuum into the ship. Bardo does the same, and then the two of us use our force powers to pull Loyus and Adriav across in with us.
I hit the button to shut the door, and oxygen is once again given to our lungs.
"Never fucking do that again." I say, pushing him out of my way and storming to my room.
Don't wanna go there, I've had a late night,
I'm feeling nauseous, chemicals enter my brain,
I'm a control freak, an internet geek,
I get these cravings, to get out and escape...
You know that it's fate, and now you can't see,
You lose your conscience, and break the silence,
The script is written, it's complicated,
Oh, something's about to erupt!
This time you've taken it too far,
All I wanna do is fight, can't you see you're pushing me over,
Control freak this is who you are,
All I wanna do is fight, I get the urge to fight!
That song waaaaas Fight by The Dirty Youth.
Okay, firstly, I just wanna say, WHERE YA'LL AT? If you've submitted a character and yet don't review, I ain't using you character. Plain and simple. If you even read a tiny bit of this at least let me know what you think? Geeeeeeeez.
Anyway, what do you think of Adriav Winters? She's ruthless, somewhat insane, but there isn't anybody in the galaxy with a better shot than her. Plus she uses her stealth to her advantage, as well as the fact many of her enemies instantly underestimate her due to her good looks. She was submitted by Alice the B-Rabbit, Who was also the first person to correctly guess that Luminara Unduli was a Mirialan and so decided that the plot twist would be for their to be a huge prison break-out.
Also, only one person answered the for fun question. Once again, WHERE YA'LL AT?! Anyway, as I said I'll put all the answers here. All one of them:
Alice the B-Rabbit: If i was in the Mos Eisley market (after fangirling) I'd get a double sided lightsaber and black clothes so I can look all cool and Sith like. :)
Okay mega shoutout to Alice the B-Rabbit for being pretty prominent throughout this authors note. I also thank my good friend Becca (rebekahjoy, except there's a dot in between the rebekah and the joy that this site won't let me put in...) for not only reviewing but helping me with the plot/character development so I owe half of this story to her.
ANYWAY. Please keep submitting, if you've already submitted one then submit another of the opposite gender, but try to give me something completely opposite! Also I've had like no Jedi's submitted yet and as I said I do need a few, so if you submitted one of them it would be pretty helpful...
Okay so whoever gets this question correct first gets to decide the next chapters plot twist; What planet is Mos Eisley located on?
Annnd the for fun question is: If you were thrown into the high security prison space station, what would it most likely be for?
Thankyou, keep reading, keep reviewing, and if you have submitted a character and haven't reviewed yet, DO IT. Also if you're reading this and wanna submit go look at the form on my page and send it to me via PM!
UNTIL NEXT TIME, GOOOOOOODBYE.
