Danny ran down a hallway and met up with Crash.
"What you run off for?" Asked Crash.
"I heard my sister and sensed, her fear. A group of inmates were trying to get at her, but I knocked them all out." Explained Danny.
"Did your sister recognize you?" Asked Crash.
"No she didn't. It was dark and I had my mask on, so she didn't get a real good look at me. I also didn't say a single word, so she wouldn't hear my voice and recognize it." Said Danny.
"That's good. We better find the others and get out of here." Said Crash.
The two took off down a hallway.
In another part of the prison, Tucker, Wulf, Valerie, and Amorpho had reached the area where the prisoner valuables were kept. A Stormtrooper and an Imperial Officer stood guarding the area.
"I'll handle this." Said Valerie as she ran towards the two guards.
"Halt!" Ordered the Stormtrooper as he pointed his blaster at Valerie.
"Oh...please! You have to help me! There's a bunch of inmates who want to hurt me!" Cried Valerie as she pointed behind her.
The Stormtrooper looked away from Valerie and at the area behind her. Valerie took the opportunity to slam her knee into the Stormtrooper's gut making him double over, before she delivered a doubled handed blow to the back of his neck, causing him to fall to the ground in a heap. The Imperial Officer let out a startled shout as he tried to pull his blaster out and hit Valerie, but she was already in front of the unlucky officer delivering a powerful punch to his face that sent him tumbling to the ground in a heap. Valerie dusted her hands off and turned to look at the others.
"Well you going to help me find my gear or just stand there starring?"
"Um...yeah will help." Said Tucker as he and the others went about helping Valerie look for her gear.
A few minutes later, they found Valerie's gear and she suited up in her armor. The team then began to head to the hanger that had their ship.
In the generator room, Maddie was walking down a catwalk, when suddenly Bullet appeared before her with a shock whip in his right hand and his songblade sword in his left hand.
"Well look at what I found. A Jedi and it's the same one that's been giving me grief and causing trouble. I'm actually glad to see you, because I'm going to enjoy a little payback on you for all that you've done!" Said Bullet as he whipped the shock whip at Maddie forcing her to jump back.
"It is you and the Empire that will lose." Said Maddie as she activated her lightsaber and faced Bullet.
Bullet let out a fierce battle cry as he charged forward swinging, his sword. Maddie blocked the sword and the two fighters pressed against one another. The two seemed evenly matched, until Bullet shot his foot up and kicked Maddie in the chest knocking her to the ground near the guardrail. Bullet swung his whip down at Maddie, but she rolled out of the way and the guardrail was sliced to bits. Maddie jumped to her feet and charged at Bullet swinging, her lightsaber. Bullet managed to block the attack and pushed Maddie back. The Imperial Hunter then charged at Maddie swinging, his sword wildly at her. The Jedi easily blocked the attacks, which angered Bullet. Bullet swung his whip at Maddie and she sliced through it with her lightsaber, before she charged at Bullet with a sideways swing. The Imperial Hunter managed to block the blow with his sword, but the force of the blow managed to send the sword flying from his hand. Maddie then delivered a kick to Bullet's chest and knocked him towards the part of the catwalk, where the guardrail had been chopped off. Bullet landed a foot near the edge and laid on the ground.
"The battle is over." Said Maddie as she turned to leave.
Bullet gritted his teeth in rage. The man refused to let himself be beaten and have the Jedi escape again. His pride refused this outcome! Bullet reached behind his back and pulled out a tiny blaster, he kept in his belt and stood up with a wild gleam in his eye as he prepared to open fire.
"You will not escape Jedi!" Roared Bullet as he fired.
Maddie spun around and deflected the blast right at Bullet. The blast hit Bullet hitting him in the chest and caused him to stumble off the edge of the catwalk. A look of surprise and fear appeared in Bullet's eye as he tumbled off the catwalk and fell a few stories, before he crashed into a generator down below. Maddie looked over the edge and saw the crumpled form of Bullet laying in the remains of a smashed generator. The Imperial Hunter was dead.
"Hate only leads to destruction." Said Maddie to herself as she walked away.
Meanwhile in a hanger, Danny and Crash had just met up, with Tucker's group, but the Tempest was no longer in the hanger. Amorpho went to access a nearby computer and found out that the ship had ben moved to the top of the prison. Danny contacted, his mother and explained what was going on, before he and the others boarded an elevator that took them to the upper levels of the prison. The group got out of the elevator and walked out, after a few minutes of fast walking they located the the Tempest.
"Well that was easy." Said Tucker.
"Don't jinx us." Said Valerie.
At that moment a large hanger door opened and out walked a AT-KT Walker with a missile launcher on it's left side, a blaster turret in the center, and a large laser cannon on the right side. The massive machine stood before the Rebels ready to attack.
"Well hello Rebels. I see you've been breaking the rules and causing trouble. I am Warden Walker and here I am the law and I here by sentence you with the Death Penalty for crimes against the Empire!" Boomed Walker's voice from a speaker.
Walker fired the turret and sent a wave of blaster fire at the Rebels forcing them to scatter. Tucker and Crash fired their blasters at the war machine, but it's armor was to thick for it to be affected. Valerie fired a rocket from her jetpack at the machine, but Walker countered the attack with a missile of his own. The missiles collide and exploded covering the area in smoke. Wulf charged through the smoke and attempted to leap onto Walker's machine, but Walker saw him coming and swung his laser cannon like a club knocking Wulf out of the air and to the ground. Walker moved his machine over to the stunned Wulf and attempted to stomp on him, but an invisible force slammed into the machine sending it stumbling back. Walker turned his machine to see Danny standing nearby as he lowered his hands and pulled out his lightsaber.
"Ah if it isn't the little Jedi I've been hearing about. You know if you surrender yourself over to me, renounce your rebellious unlawful ways, and capture these others, I'll personally see that no harm comes to you and that your given a good job in the Empire. We can certainly use someone like you. What do you say?" Said Walker.
"I'll have to say no to your offer. I'm a Jedi and I protect the people not the Empire." Said Danny.
"That's a foolish thing to say boy. The Empire is the people and it controls the law." Said Walker as he pointed the laser cannon at Danny.
"The Empire is made of people like you, who abuse the law and use it to suit their own purposes to keep the masses under their control. The people don't respect the Empire they fear it and that's not the way the universe should be. The Empire and it's corruption have to go." Said Danny as he got into a battle stance.
"Then you will die along with the rest of your friends!" Declared Walker as he fired his laser cannon.
Danny used the Force to leap over the blast and flew right towards Walker, slicing the laser cannon on, his machine as flew by. The front part of the cannon fell to the ground as Danny landed behind Walker's machine. Walker gritted his teeth as he regained control of his AT-KT, which had temporally lost it's balance and turned to face Danny.
"Do you honestly think you can stop the Empire?" Demanded Walker.
"I do and you forget I'm not alone." Said Danny.
Crash came charging in and threw a grenade at Walker. The grenade exploded and sent the machine stumbling back. Valerie then flew in and shot a cable at the machine's legs tangling them and causing the war machine to become unsteady.
"Hey Walker let's see how your armor stands to this!" Called Tucker.
Walker turned to see one of the cannons on the Tempest pointed at his machine. Wulf sat behind the controls and grinned as he fired the cannon. The blast slammed into the machine and sent it flying towards the edge of the roof. The AT-KT landed on the edge and hung there, just barely staying on the roof. A huge hole had been blown in the right side of the machine exposing a battered and bloodied Walker. The armor had just barely protected the warden, but he was still alive. The machine just hung on the edge. The Rebels surrounded the machine and looked at Walker.
"You...Rebels may have...won this battle, but the war is still on. Once the rest of the...Empire hears about this they'll hunt you down like animals. You...can't win!" Chuckled Walker.
"Your wrong. As long as there's still a single person, who has the courage to stand up for what's rights the Empire will never win. Once they hear about this the people will know that the Empire isn't invincible and they can be beaten. There is hope and that's something that can never truly die." Said Danny as he looked at Walker.
Walker was stunned by these words as he watched the Jedi walk away. Wulf looked at Walker and then gave the machine a mighty shove sending it over the edge. Walker eyes went wide as he screamed. The machine hit the ground below and exploded! Warden Walker was no more. An elevator arrived on the roof and out stepped Maddie. The Jedi looked around at the damage on the roof.
"I've seen you've been busy. Why don't we leave first and then you can tell me what happened." Said Maddie.
Everyone got onto the Tempest and it took off away from the prison.
Back inside the prison, Jazz was looking around for Z Block. The teen kept thinking about the mysterious person that saved her. Jazz then began to recall something she read in her studied of history about a great race of warriors called Jedi, who fought with glowing swords, but according to the Empire the Jedi were all dead. The Empire said the Jedi were traitors, yet the person that came to Jazz's aid was a Jedi. The Jedi moved like it was on a different plane of being, like a phantom. Jazz decided to call the Jedi, Phantom. It was then that Jazz located Z Block and looked inside. In the cell there were four people. Three males and a female. The female was asian with dark hair, one of the males was mostly bald with a black mustache, the second male had blond hair and was tall, the last male was dark skinned and had a military style haircut.
Jazz studied the women and the man with a mustache and she recognized them as a couple of senators that went missing a few years ago. The women was Ishiyama and the male was Montez, both were supposedly capture and killed by pirates. Jazz opened the cell door and the four prisoners looked up at her.
"My name is Jazz Fento the new head of People's Relations and I'm here to free you." Said Jazz.
Ishiyama and Montez introduced themselves, explained that they had both been captured by Stormtroopers for going against the use of slaves, and then the other prisoners introduced themselves.
"I'm Lance. I was investigating the Empire's mining operations, when I was found and captured." Said the blond man.
"I'm Dale, I used to be a Stormtrooper, but I helped some captured farmers escape and I was thrown in here for insubordination." Said the dark skinned male.
This news startled Jazz and this made her start to question the Empire. Jazz escorted the four prisoners to the hanger, where her shuttle was and an Imperial Officer got in their way demanding to know what Jazz was doing with the prisoners. Jazz simply told him that she was under orders from Governor Lancer and that if they were delayed, she would tell the Governor, who was responsible. The officer stepped aside and the group got in the shuttle and took off towards the Capitol.
To be continued.
