Ezra woke up once again to the cold dark room that was his cell,
"F-Fuck…" he sat up leaning against the wall on the metal bed, he grabbed his nose groaning in pain as he snapped it back into place. "W-What happened last night?"
Ezra got his middle and index finger and traced it across a scar on his forehead, "God! That hurts… fuck!" Ezra stopped and just sat quietly,
The door slid open and an officer stepped into Ezra's cell, they had their cap off showing shoulder length strait black hair.
"K-Kristina?" Ezra's mouth tweaked with joy and relief,
"Yeah… I just thought I should check up on you, I brought some food from the canteen… want some?" Ezra noticed a white bandage wrapped around her stomach and left shoulder.
"Who did that anyway?"
"Some Mandalorian"
"Huh… thanks" Ezra chuckled grabbing some of the food off her tray,
"So, who exactly are you, Ezra? It doesn't state that you had parents or other relatives"
"They're dead, I lived on the streets for years, I-" Ezra groaned clenching where he was stabbed by the electric rod, Ezra lent forwards towards the ground before falling onto his face screaming in pain.
"SHIT" Kristina picked Ezra up carrying him with one hand around his chest and the other under his knees,
Kristina sprinted to the close by medical ward down the hall yelling at them to help.
Ezra gasped and gaged his body twitching and squirming around.
The medical droid and a few human staff rushed over and immediately started to work one rushed Kristina out of the room, she watched through the glass, the clean blue-sheeted beds and pale blue room had people sprinting around every now and again bumping into things.
"Thank god you're here!" Kristina smiled as she saw two stormtroopers walking up to her, one had a black scar painted on his helmet, the other had a red line painted from the top of one of the visors to the bottom of the visor.
"What's happening?" the stormtrooper with the black scar spoke his voice was rough,
"Yeah, what the hell is going on?" the other spoke his voice was soft yet slightly rough.
"Kid was talking then he just fell forward screaming in agony"
"Damn" the stormtrooper with the painted scar shook his head
"Yeah… Tom, Red, this is going to sound crazy but maybe we should try to escape, take the kid with us, I like him, he reminds me of an old friend"
Ezra saw a large white light and nothing else, slowly the light faded and he looked to the side of his bed to see Kristina sitting on a plastic chair
"W-What happened?"
"Thank god!" Kristina smiled leaping towards him wrapping her arms around him, Ezra returned the gesture,
Kristina sat back down chuckling,
"Why do you keep saving me? Why are you going out of your way for me?"
"Ezra… years ago, when I was about 8 I got home from the park with my grandfather but… w-we saw the house it was crumbling burnt to a crisp, we saw the rebels that did it, they were going to kill us, but an officer and some stormtroopers rushed in saving me, but my… m-m… m-my… my grandfather was shot dead, they couldn't save him… I had a younger brother I watched as they tried to pull him out of the building, but a missile hit it and the building collapsed… I-I… Y-You… Y-You remind me of my brother"
"Uh… that is… well just… Fucked up"
"Yeah… it's only been ten years… just I hope I am fighting for the right side, but… anyway we have a plan to get you out but, well it will take a while"
"Just as long as I get out of this hell"
"I promise that we will get you out Ezra"
"You know still better being in here than in the cell"
"You always seem to stay on the positive side"
"I just hope it works"
"Ezra, trust me it'll work… whatever it is"
Unknown time
The VCX-100 zoomed around as the hundred missiles chased, every now and again one or two would collide with another, but eventually Hera piloted the ship away from the bridge of the star destroyer, once she was about two hundred metres out, she flipped around flying back towards the bridge, the missiles chasing.
X-wings raced around firing at tie-fighters, Y-wings suddenly appeared from hyperspace heading towards the base,
"Hera this is madness stop at once, we give you this one good chance to leave, if not we will remove your filth from the galaxy, if you are willing to retreat, we can push a button and then all those missiles will disarm and fly off into the void of space, really it's good business for us either way"
Hera flew her ship towards the bridge and when she was only 50 metres away
"Well admiral this is just 'good business' so goodbye" her ship flicked upwards, as all but three missiles flew towards the bridge,
"ADMIRAL!"
the missiles one by one hit the bridge flames erupting and the vacuum of space pulled people out
"Just good busine-" the flames filled the room as the admiral was sucked into space, his and other officers' corpses floated around frost collecting on their bodies.
Tie-fighters and interceptors rushed around, the X-wings and Y-wings fought as best they could, but one stray shot hit a Y-wing starting a chain reaction of explosions from the bombs, the X-wings tried but there were too many tie-fighters. A single green energy bolt crashed into an X-wing's engine, the ship spun around crashing into another, bright orange and red flames burst out as they crashed.
"This is Hera! Pull back! Abort mission!" Hera's voice echoed over the comms of the remaining X-wings, all of the ships that could, fell back before jumping to hyperspace,
Hera followed but right as she entered hyperspace the three missiles hit her ship.
Ezra muttered something leaning back into his pillow, slowly his eyes shut.
"Officer Kristina" Red said as Kristina walked past.
"Don't let anyone into my officer"
