Valerie arrived at the hanger and snuck inside. The bounty hunter saw the Tempest, but there appeared to be no one around. Valerie reached into her utility belt and pulled a small tracking device, which she attached to the bottom of the ship. Satisfied with her work Valerie left the hanger got on her speeder bike and headed back to her own ship. The bounty hunter planned to tail the Rebels to Chaos and capture them all to get a bigger reward from the Empire.
A few hours later Tucker, Wulf, and Danny were heading towards the Tempest. The three Rebels had received a call from Chaos to come meet in a city called Vala, to get some important information for the next phases of the Rebellion. Maddie had decided that since this wasn't a dangerous mission, there was no need to accompany her son. Danny and his friends loaded up into the ship and took off. In another part of the city the Ravager took off and headed in the same direction as the Tempest. Valerie looked at her screen as the tracker told her where the Rebels were going. The bounty hunter grinned as she felt the thrill of the hunt.
The Tempest landed in a field outside Vala. The Rebels found Chaos and a purple protocol droid standing next to a silver shuttle. Danny, Wulf, and Tucker approached Chaos.
"Your just here by yourself?" Asked Danny.
"Yes, I thought it would be safer if it was just me. It's easier to travel alone." Said Chaos.
"You seem confident that you'll be safe." Said Tucker.
"I can take care of myself and I am meeting with a Jedi and a couple of Rebels with a good amount of fighting experience." Said Chaos.
"Good point, so what kind of information do you have for us.?" Said Danny.
"There are two planets in the Amitrax System that I believe we can get on our side and fight the Empire. One is called Froza and the other is called Draga. I've done research on both these planets and they are both full of valuable resources and people who will be great assists to the Rebellion." Said Chaos as the Rebel leader handed Danny a data file.
While this was going on, Valerie was stealthily making her way towards the Rebels. The bounty hunter was crouched down in some tall grass and was taking careful aim at Chaos's ship with a rocket launcher located in her jetpack. Chaos and E3 were heading to the ship, when a weird look appeared on Danny's face followed by a panicked look.
"Chaos wait!" Shouted Danny as Valerie fired her rocket.
The rocket soared through the air and struck the ship making it explode. The explosion threw Chaos and E3 to the ground. Danny, Tucker, and Wulf ran towards the Rebel leader and the droid with weapons drawn. Wulf helped stand E3 up, before he bent down and picked Chaos up. The Rebel seemed to be unconscious. Valerie activated her jetpack and flew towards the group firing a blaster rifle at them. Danny deflected some of the blast away with his lightsaber, while Tucker fired some shots at the approaching bounty hunter.
"Get Chaos on to the Tempest! I'll cover you!" Said Tucker as he continued to fire at Valerie firing her to back away.
Danny nodded, before he, Wulf, and E3 headed towards the Tempest. The Rebels boarded the ship and started her up. Tucker turned away from Valerie and made a mad sprint towards the Tempest. Valerie flew after Tucker and fired a cable at him that wrapped around his legs making him crash to the ground and lose his blaster in the process. The bounty hunter landed on the ground and approached Tucker, who looked up at the Tempest and saw Danny hanging out from the door. The young Jedi looked like he was fixing to jump out and come to Tucker's aid, but the Rebel stopped him.
"Protect Chaos! Get yourself and the leader to safety!" Ordered Tucker.
Danny reluctantly nodded his head, before he closed the door and the Tempest took off into the sky. Tucker turned to face Valerie.
"That was a brave and foolish thing you just did. I would normally respect that, but since you just cost me a bunch of credits, I'm extremely mad at you now, but rest assured one way or another I'm going to get your Rebel friends." Said Valerie.
"I doubt that." Said Tucker.
Valerie raised her blaster rifle and slammed the butt of it into Tucker's face knocking him out and making him Valerie's prisoner.
