Three shuttles descended into level 1313. After landing, waves upon waves of stormtroopers shuffled out.

"Everyone in this market square in now under arrest!" One stormtrooper yelled, "you are all charged with treason, and the harboring of a criminal."

Meanwhile…

Jehick sat in his bed awake. He hadn't gotten that much sleep the previous night. All he could think about was Ala'nok, and his force powers. Perhaps this is my chance, he thought, to finally take the fight to the Empire!

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"In the name of the Emperor, open up this door!" A voice called out from the other side of the door to Jehick's apartments.

Jehick quickly climbed out of bed, put on a cloak, and ran to the door. When he opened it he saw an imperial officer standing next to two stormtroopers.

"Jehick San'trel, your execution has been long postponed, but we have finally found you," the officer said smugly.

"What, me, no, you must have the wrong person," Jehick lied.

"Don't even try lying to us," the officer raised his hand signalling the stormtroopers to raise their blasters.

"Well, it was worth a shot!" Jehick said before quickly drawing his blasters and shooting all three imperials.

Just then Ala'nok came out of the guest bedroom asked what was going on.

"We're getting out of here, that's what's happening," Jehick said as he heard footsteps running towards them outside of the room.

"What do you mean we're leaving?"

"Just shut up and get to the speeder outside!" Jehick yelled as he leaned around the doorway and fired a few shots at the stormtroopers, killing a few.

Ala'nok's POV

What does he mean we're leaving? Ala'nok thought as he ran past Jehick, dodging lasers and running down stairways towards the exit. Why are the imperials shooting at him anyways? To be honest he didn't care as he had run into some trouble with bucket heads as well in the past.

Ala'nok gasped as he ran outside and saw the carnage the stormtroopers had caused. Bodies lie everywhere, with the market stands destroyed around them.

"Get into the speeder!" A voice yelled behind him. He turned around to see Jehick running towards him, shooting backwards at a squad of stormtroopers.

Ala'nok climbed into the passenger chair, while Jehick jumped into the driver's chair. In a few short seconds, the speeder was moving away at full speed.

"Do you mind telling me what's going on here?" Ala'nok yelled.

"I'll tell you later, but for now we need to get off Coruscant." Jehick responded.

"Why do I need to leave Coruscant?"

"Because you were caught with me, so the imperials now view you as a criminal." Jehick said.

"Perfect, just perfect," Jehick said annoyed. "How are we going to get a ship anyways?"

"We'll steal one!" Jehick said as the speeder picked up its pace, heading towards the spaceport.

15 minutes later…

The speeder arrived at the spaceport, and its occupants climbed out.

"Alright, which ship are we going to steal?" Ala'nok asked.

"I'm not sure yet, we will have to hack into the arrivals terminal." Jehick said as he walked over to a computer. "Here take my blaster and stand guard while I hack into the terminal."

"If I see imperials should I shoot?" Ala'nok said eyeing the blaster.

"Only if they seem to have seen us."

The first minute or so went ok, but then out of the corner of his eye, Ala'nok saw a squadron of stormtroopers walk in. The officer scanned the room and when his eyes fell on Ala'nok, he pointed and the stormtroopers raised their blasters.

"They found us!" Ala'nok yelled, as he jumped over a desk and hid behind it.

"Give me cover fire, I've almost found us a ship." Jehick yelled as lasers flew all around.

Ala'nok leaned around the tipped over table and fired a few shots, that all subsequently missed. He took cover again as more shots rained down on him.

Alright Ala'nok, you can do this, he thought as he leaned around the table and raised the blaster. As he looked through the sight, he got a sudden feeling he didn't need it. He closed his eyes and fired three shots. When he opened his eyes he saw three stormtroopers collapse.

I'm pretty good at this, he thought.

"Nice shot kid!" Jehick yelled from the computer station. "Alright, I found our ship, let's go." Jehick said as ran towards a blast door.

"What kind of ship are we taking?" Ala'nok asked, giving Jehick cover fire while he opened the blast door.

"It's a YT-2400 light freighter," Jehick responded, "Ok the door is open, let's move."

The two men ran through the doors with stormtroopers on their tails firing shots at them. Ala'nok stopped firing for a second and looked up at the ship they were stealing.

"This thing is a hunk of junk!"

"Hey, by 1313's standards it's pretty good." Jehick yelled back.

Ala'nok stood on the boarding ramp and fired at the stormtroopers to prevent them from getting on. In the meantime, Jehick ran into the cockpit and started up the ship.

Outside the ship, several stormtroopers lie dead due to Ala'nok's newfound skill with a blaster. Ala'nok felt the ship begin to lift off, so he ran into the ship, as the boarding ramp raised up behind him.

"I'm in, let's get out of here!" He yelled to Jehick.

"I'm on it"

The ship sped out of the hanger, and out of 1313. Jehick, using his old skills at piloting he learned when he was a padawan, dodged the traffic in the large chasm that led to the lower levels of Coruscant.

As the ship left the planet's atmosphere and entered space, Jehick saw multiple Star Destroyers deploying Tie Fighters.

On board a Star Destroyer…

On the bridge of one of the Star Destroyers, the admiral looked out upon the small battle going on around them.

"Officer, deploy all tie fighters, I do not want that ship getting away."

"I will have it done right away," the officer replied.

On the freighter…

Jehick dodged the tie fighters blasts, looking for an opening in the Star Destroyer blockade. Finally he saw one and began to set the hyperdrive co-ordinates.

What the?! This ship only has enough fuel to make it to one star system? Good enough I guess. Jehick thought as he clicked on the star system.

From the window of the cockpit, Jehick saw the stars begin to blur as the ship entered hyperspace.

On the Star Destroyer…

The admiral watched as the ship slowed down before entering hyperspace and disappearing.

"The ship got away sir," the officer said.

The admiral turned around and began to sweat and shake.

"Lord Vader is waiting to speak with you via hologram."

"Very well," the admiral said as his shaking became more noticable.

The officer and admiral walked into the strategy room next to the bridge. As the officer turned on the holoprojector, the admiral tried to make himself look less nervous. Soon, Vader's helmet was visible on the holoprojector.

"My lord I-," the admiral began before Vader cut him off.

"I hear you attempted to capture someone who you believed to be a jedi, without alerting me first." Vader began, "You better hope for your sake you captured him."

"I-I'm afraid h-he got away my lord." The admiral said nervously.

"You have failed me for the last time admiral," Vader said menacingly.

"My lord, I ca-," the admiral began to beg for his life, before he was magically lifted off the floor and strangled by an invisible force. A few short seconds later, he fell over dead.

Vader turned around and looked at the officer.

"It is your lucky day, ADMIRAL Sevos," Vader began, "Hunt down these fugitives. Hopefully, you won't fail like your predecessor did."

"I won't fail you my lord," Sevos said indifferent about the corpse of the previous admiral lying next to him.

The hologram disappeared…
