The Tempest made it back to the hanger in Goza. Wulf went outside to inspect the ship to see if there were any tracking devices were on it, while Danny tended to Sam. Danny was looking at the girl, when her eyes suddenly opened and she sat up looking around in confusion. Danny put a comforting hand on her and pushed her back down on the bed.
"It's ok, your with friends." Said Danny in a relaxing voice.
"Oh Miss Samantha I'm so happy to see your awake." Said E3.
Sam noticed she wasn't wearing her armor and helmet and that E3 had just called her by her real name. The Rebel gave the droid a brief glare before turing to look at Danny.
"What happened?"
"Your ship was destroyed and you were hurt badly in the explosion. A bounty hunter showed up and began to attack. Tucker distracted the bounty hunter, while the rest of us escaped in the Tempest. Tucker was captured though." Said Danny.
"I see and I guess my droid told you who I was once you unmasked me to tend to my injuries." Said Sam.
"He did...and I have to ask, if you don't mind. Why are you doing this? I know your family's position in the senate, wouldn't it make more sense for you to try to go political against the Empire. " Said Danny.
"Well at first my family was one of the loudest senate members that question and spoke out against the Empire's actions, but then other senate members who spoke out against the Empire all met with an unfortunate accident, which resulted in them dying. My parents figured that their friends fates were no accidents, but the Empire dealing with troublemakers. They became fearful of their lives and spoke less against the Empire's actions. I realized that political power wasn't going to do a thing stop the Empire, so I went behind my parents back and made contact with some Rebels. I came up with my Chaos disguise and persona and helped formed a Rebel cell in the Amitrax System." Said Sam.
"So you formed the Rebels cell to help the people of the system. It's kind of the same reason why I joined the Rebellion in the first place." Said Danny.
"We're both fighting for the same reason." Said Sam.
"So any ideas of how we get Tucker back?" Asked Danny.
Before Sam could answer Wulf walked in carrying a small flat circular device. Danny recognized it as a tracker.
"Was this on the ship?" Asked Danny.
Wulf nodded his head. Danny looked at Sam.
"I think I know how to get Tucker back, though it involves letting that bounty hunter come to us." Said Danny.
"Do what you must. You've proven yourself capable and I trust you can handle this bounty hunter." Said Sam.
Danny nodded before he and Wulf walked out of the ship.
A few miles away from Goza City, Valerie's ship was coming in, but unbeknownst to her, Skulker's ship was a few hundred feet behind her and above her. Skulker looked down at Valerie's ship and pressed a button on his controls. A probe droid popped out from underneath Skulker's ship and began to follow Valerie's ship. The armored bounty hunter chuckled as he steered his ship away and looked for a place to land. Valerie landed her ship at a docking bay and checked her instruments. The tracker seemed to still be working, so that was a good sign. The bounty hunter went to the cell and grabbed a handcuffed Tucker.
"So is this the part where you hand me over to the Empire or are you planning to release me back to my friends?" Asked Tucker as Valerie hauled him up to his feet.
"Neither. This is where I use you has a hostage and force the rest of your comrades to surrender themselves to my custody. Now let's get moving." Said Valerie.
The two of them walked outside and grabbed a speeder bike. Valerie helped Tucker get on then she got on herself, before they took off with the probe droid stealthily following them.
At another hanger, Skulker had just landed . The bounty hunter checked his computer and got a signal from the probe droid. Skulker then walked to the cargo hold and opened it to reveal four deactivated IG-88 assassin droids. The hunter pressed a button and the droids activated and came to attention. Skulker lead the four droids out of the ship and they grabbed some speeder bikes and some lances before they headed off to the probe droids location.
"This will be a good hunt." Said Skulker as he and his forces drew closer to their prey.
To be continued.
