The Final Battle: Part 6
Tanya turned around and headed back toward the air vent, Ahsoka following right behind her. They crawled back through the vents and came out, in a near by hallway. Tanya looked around the corner to see the battle droids guarding the door, before taking out a small detonator and placing on the wall. She then set the timer on her wrist comm. and activated it, starting the timer. "Come on," Tanya told Ahsoka, heading back to the vent. They crawled back into the vents and into the rafters of the database. Tanya checked her timer again, waiting for the explosion.
"Uh, Tanya, you still haven't explained your plan to me," Ahsoka pointed out. Tanya smiled.
"Oh, it should explain itself, right about... now."
BOOM!
The battle droids in the database fell over from the quake the explosion caused. The commanding battle droid got up, almost immediately, and contacted the battle droids outside the database. "SS125, what's going on out there?" the commander droid asked.
"Sir, a large explosion erupted in the next hall. I'll take my battle droids to survey the damage and it's source."
"Wait, I'm sending the remaining droids outside to help you guard it. They can't get in here without going past us."
Ahsoka looked up at Tanya. "Clever."
"Thank you." Ahsoka and Tanya observed the remaining droids in the database open the door and walk outside, leaving the inside completely unprotected. Ahsoka and Tanya jumped down from the rafters and into the database. They looked over their shoulders at the door that separated them from the battle droids, before turning to the computer.
"Ahsoka, do you think you can hack into the computer and get the information?" Tanya questioned.
"Sure," Ahsoka replied. She activated the computer and started hacking into the memory, Tanya looking over her shoulder. But while Ahsoka and Tanya were working on the computer, two battle droids walked back into the database.
"SS125's circuits must be loose," one droid said. "He made it seem as though we were attacked by the-" The two droids saw Tanya and Ahsoka at the computer. "Jedi!" they cried, making Tanya and Ahsoka turn around in shock.
"Blast!" Tanya muttered herself, igniting her lightsaber. Ahsoka followed in her lead and ignited her own weapon. The battle droids aimed their blasters at the padawans and fired at them. Ahsoka and Tanya stood their ground and deflected the blaster bolts with ease. The battle droids seemed to have some sense and, after almost getting hit by their own deflected bolts, retreated behind a staircase that led to the catwalk above. One battle droid realized they were pinned down and called for help.
"Commander, we have a problem. Two Jedi have infiltrated the database and are trying to get into the computer." The commanding battle droid responded by sending every battle droid that was stationed outside the database, inside. The door opened to reveal a dozen battle droids, blasters trained on Ahsoka and Tanya. Tanya raised an eyebrow.
"Is that really all?" she asked, before jumping off of the raised platform, to be level with the droids. Most of the droids backed off but one either very brave or very foolish droid stepped forward, blaster still trained on her.
"Halt. You are under arre-" he ordered, before having his head sliced off. Ahsoka jumped down to join her and together, they sliced, cut, and Force-Pushed the battle droids, including the two battle droids that had discovered them. Eventually, only the commanding droid was left, but before they could cut him down, he contacted the remaining droids on the level.
"Attention, all units on Level 10. Two Jedi have infiltrated the database and are attempting to take the information. All units, head to the database and take down the Jedi."
Almost instantly, droids poured out of the doors on both the ground level and the overhead catwalk. They all leveled their blasters at the padawans and fired. Ahsoka and Tanya stood back to back, deflecting the bolts at the droids on both the lower and upper levels, until the only things left of them was scrap metal. Tanya sighed in relief as she looked at their handiwork. "Not bad, huh?"
Ahsoka smiled. "Now, for the information."
