"Did Seb send you or something?" The man looked her up and down, clearly taking in her assets. She jut her hip out and crossed her arms. He looked back up at her, his eyes fierce and his smile wicked.
"Simple," he pulled out his blaster, "you're my message." Mara's eyes widened. She heard fearful whispers coming from behind her. "Your dear brother will come looking for you, and when he finds you with my blaster to your head he'll understand that I'm not one to be messed with." Mara laughed at the man's naivety.
"You didn't do your research did you?" She shook her head, more giggles escaping her. She looked back up with a crooked smile, her eyes just a fierce as his. "I'm a Jedi." She threw her hands out, forcing Skavak to fly back. He hit the wall with a thud. She turned to the group behind her, "Use your desks as shields. Now!" She yelled before turning around. Skavak was regaining his strength, he slowly stood up. He shook his head and brushed dust off of his jacket.
"Shouldn't have done that, princess." He fired off a series of shots, each aimed at Mara. She used the force to easily dodge the attack by jumping to the side of the room. He fired off more shots as she landed, grunting as one hit her in the shoulder.
"I don't take too kind to ya hurtin' a lady, Skavak." Mara heard someone say from the doorway. She looked up to find another stranger. He was tall and muscular, his skin was naturally tan and his face scarred. He had dreadlocks that were tied together atop his head. Mara may have even found him attractive had he not been there to kill her. He opened fire on the other man, Skavak.
Seriously Seb? Everyone is here but you.
Hey, I heard that ya know.
Good, now get your ass in here and help me take these guys down.
Guys? No, wait! Mara-
It was too late, Mara had already severed the connection and began making her way to the two men firing at each other. The boy with dreadlocks, Corso is what Skavak had called him, had made his way into the classroom and was hiding behind a shield. Mara jumped in between the two men. They stopped firing long enough for her to make eye contact with each then she pushed both with all her might. Corso took the brunt of the hit with his jetpack, it wouldn't work again but it had saved his life. Skavak went flying towards a concrete wall, his head slammed into a pipe and blood trickled down his neck. Mara felt Skavak's life force snuff out and with one down and one more to go, she turned her attention to Corso.
"What was that for?" Corso grunted as he stood up, eyes closed. His body felt like it'd been run over by a ronto, which, of course, he knew how it felt firsthand. He rubbed his neck with one hand, the other relaxing by his side. He opened his eyes to find the blonde girl glaring at him, a force aura projecting off of her. He felt his body being lifted off the ground. He started flailing his limbs around. "Hey! Stop it! Put me down, I'm here ta' help!" He yelled over and over again. The girl looked up at him, her eyes stone cold.
"I'm sure you are." Mara prepared to throw him again the wall one last time when she heard a familiar voice.
"Mar! Put Corso down!" Seb shouted. She turned to see her burly brother running into the room panting. She quickly dropped Corso, running to him when she heard a thud.
"Oh my force! I'm so sorry!" She sunk down next to him, her knees resting on the floor. She started dusting him off, checking for any injuries. "I had no idea you were with Seb, I thought you were after me like that guy." Seb then noticed Skavak lying on the floor, dead. He went over and searched the body, picking up Torchy.
"Hey… Gorgeous…came…to save…you." Doc huffed as he finally arrived. Mara turned to Seb, glaring.
"You brought him?" She spat.
"He's the only medic I know." Seb apologized, shrugging his shoulders. Mara rolled her eyes as Doc strode over to her, clearly still worn out from running.
"Need any help?" He grinned.
"Just make sure…" She thought for a moment before turning back to face Corso. "What's your name again?"
"Corso. Corso Riggs, ma'am." The Mantellian smiled brightly. "And I'm alright, just need ta rest s'all." He slowly stood, grabbing at his side.
"Well at least let me help you back to the ship." She smiled softly at him. He nodded and Mara put her arm around his waist and he held onto her shoulder. She stopped halfway to the door, looking over her shoulder at her now ex-teacher.
"See ya Durand!" She cheered before turning back and helping Corso out the door.
I'm not sure if anyone wanted me to finish this up or not but I did anyway. I'm not sure if I'll continue this somehow or add to it later but if someone wants it I may. Anyhoo, thank you for reading and I hope ye enjoyed!
