They were losing this fight. Delai just watched her best friend getting stabbed in the ribs by an imperial operative. Himinis pulled the sentinel back out of the frontline before she could get herself killed, and that made the young sage to let her guards down for a second. That said second was just enough time for that sneaky bastard to strike. The jedi watched as her friend gaped in pain, stumbled forward, and clumsily sent out a strong wave of the Force, which sent the operative flying. However he recovered fast, making Delai panick, and dash forward him.

Himinis fell on her knees.

He was about to strike again.

A purple flash.

Delai was just in time to catch her friend, before she hit her head int he ground. The white haired girl was trembeling, and breathing heavily, the right side of her body covered in blood. „ Watch out, there's a… „ started Himinis, but she was cut off by the sound of something hitting the ground next to them. It was the operative's dead body, but none of them looked. „Ah." Thats all that she said. Delai wanted to speak, but her voice was trembeling as well. „Can…can you heal yourself?" She tried, but she was still shocked, exhausted, and lost to much blood already. „I'm… out of..Force, I can't do…" She passed out.

No, no, no! NO! Delai clenched her fists, and the next thing she saw was 4 marauders grouping up to take on them. She cant deal with all of them, and watch over Himinis. She stood up, took out her lightsabers and waited. Breathing deeply, she tried to calm herself down, and gather some centering for the upcoming battle… probably her last.

When the marauders started to run, they couldn't even take five steps when they were all blinded by a flashbang coming out of nowhere. The raven haired girl stood there confused, untill she heared an ever so known giggle from behind her. Her all time favourite giggle that is. A smile appeared on her lips, and she turned around. She was more than happy to see Jessaca standing there in all her glory. „Girls, girls. What would you do without…" She was cut off by Delai grabbing her clothes, and bringing her closer to herself. „Oh right here and now, hun?" The scoundrel smirked. The young jedi looked yet again confused, then a blush swept across her face. „What…no!" With a shake of her head she pulled herself together, and pointed at Himinis. „Heal her. NOW!" Jess just rolled her purple eyes at the sentinel. „Bossy are we? How about you say plea…" When she actually looked at the young girl lying ont he ground she swallowed her words immediately, and crouched next to her. „What the hell happened?" Her hands worked quickly, already putting all kinds of green things ont he wound that Delai had no idea what those were.

Before they could say anything else, the marauders started to shout, because they could still not see. „God, those guys are dumb." Sighed the scoundrel while looking for some more green stuff in her pockets. Unluckily they recovered soon after this, and looked at the small group of girls furiously. „Erm… There is a slight chance that i pissed them off?"

Delai grabbed her sabers and stood up once again. Not looking back, she said. „Take care of her." The scoundrel just nodded, mumbling something under her nose, bet then she realised what was happening. The group orf marauders and the sentinel were staring daggers into each other. All muscles tense, ready to jump at the first opportunity. „Dont be a fool, they will slaughter you, if you just charge in like a madwoman."

„I'll take my chances." The young jedi spoke quietly, and slowly. She was concentrating, gathering power, strenghtening her link to the Force.

The scoundrel's eyes went wide open, when she realised what the jedi was about to do. „NO! You're not ready yet!" She stood up, reaching out for her beloved sentinel, but she was too late. In a flash, Delai leaped at the marauders.

For a few seconds Jessaca couldn't see anything at all. The amount of the Force that has been called upon blinded her, making her unable to know what was happening around her… and with Delai. The bright light started to fade, but not as fast as the scoundrel would have liked it. She considered trying to move and find the jedi, but there was no point for now, plus Del would kill her if she left Himi alone… if she's still alive. After another few seconds which seemed to be an eternity, she could finally see again. The marauders were lying on the ground dead, as dead could be. Good, good, but where's… She wanted to look around when she felt she stepped on somthing. Looking down, she saw it was a lightsaber. She picked it up and took a closer look. It didnt take long for her to realise it belonged to Delai. It had a nice, bright purple crystal on it as a decoration, matching the saber's colour. „Erm… can I have it back please?" Heared the scoundrel from behind herself. She turned around, and with a quick move of her hand, she slapped the raven haired jedi ont he face. It wasn't strong, but it must have hurt enough to deliver the message. „Dont ever do that again!" The scoundrel looked mad, scared, but relieved.

„I'm sorry, there was no other wa…"

„Don't give me that bullshit! You could have died you… you..argh!"

For Delai's luck, Himi chose this moment to wake up. She sat up, holding her head, like she was having a headache. „For god's sake Delai, what have you done again?" She nattered. „The Force just went insane around here…" She looked around, slowly remembering what has happened. Then she looked at the two others, and asked puzzeled. „So… what have I missed?"

Int he next few minutes Delai explained to her everything. Reminded her that she got stabbed, then passed out. Told her Jessaca came to save them just in time. Then told her how she leaped at the marauders, used guarded by the force to survive the jump, and quick saber cyclone to finish them all. That was when she recieved another slap on the face, this time from her best friend. „How many times do I have to save your ass to make you understand you can't pull stunts like this! You could have died you fool!"

„Oh come on, a thank you, or you're amazing would be nice of you two to say other than slapping me and giving me lectures!" Delai pursed her lips, pouting like a child.

The others just rolled their eyes, maing Delai pout even more. „Now stop doing that and tell me how did you end up in this mess." Said Jess.

The sage and the sentinel looked at each other, sighing they both said. „It's a long story" And with that, they started to make their ways to the closest cantina.

The next morning, the girls woke up with a terrible headache.
