Disclaimer: I don't own anything this is just a story for fun.
Britney's men went about securing the audience and making them sit quietly in their seats. A great deal of the audience were frightened of the armed men. Dora sat in her chair looking freighted, while Poindexter put a hand on her shoulder and told him everything was going to be alright. Aragon just looked at the two with an annoyed glare and rolled his eyes.
"Oh would you two stop your worrying. That women and her flunkies have no interest in harming us, they simply want a captive audience for their stunt." Said Aragon.
"Be that as it may your highness. We are still being held captive and these people seem violent enough to start something with us." Said Poindexter.
"Oh don't you fret servant. These people will be dealt with." Said Aragon as he reached into his pocket and pressed a button on a tiny remote sending out a special destress signal.
A few blocks away at a grand hotel, there was a special presidential suit that was used by the rulers of Draga. The suit was currently occupied by a large group of Draga Knights and a couple of special individuals who served as members of Aragon's elite guard.
The first was a female Gurlanin, who went by the name Empress She-Wolf or simply Emp. She had pale skin with dark blue-grey hair which reached past her waist, with a single white streak running through the middle. Emp had long ears, both pierced with gold earrings, and a tail, and she had red cat-like eyes and wears purple eyeshadow. She wore a black corset with a purple border at the top, black shorts, and a purple belt with a gold emblem in the middle and purple fabric hanging down like a loincloth. Emp had black cuffs with gold trips on her wrists, and purple fabric hanging from them. On her upper harms, near the shoulder, she had two gold emblems, styled the same as her belt buckle. Her shoes were tall black boots with purple lining at the top. On her right leg, she had a holster with a sword.
The second was a male Echani, who went by the name Scarlet Samurai or simply Scarlet. The Echani got the name for the unique red stripe of hair that went down the center of his white hair. Scarlet was currently dressed in black clothes and was sitting in a meditation position with a songsteel katana sitting in front of him.
A Draga Knight got Aragon's destress signal on a small receiver device and approached Scarlet.
"Sir it appeared Prince Aragon is in trouble. His destress beacon just went off." Said the Knight.
"Ready the men for departure. I'll be ready soon." Said Scarlet as he stood up and picked up his sword.
He walked over to a dresser and pulled out a set of red colored samurai armor. The armor had a white skull emblem on the center of it's chest plate, shoulder pads, gloves, boots, and cape. There was also a helmet adorned with two horns, one at each temple, and a third in the center of his forehead. Scarlet put on a mask covering his mouth and nose. The warrior was ready.
Scarlet and Emp gathered the knight and headed towards the Dimmadome.
Inside the Dimmadome, Britney had a couple of her men put Ember in the chair next to the time bomb and barrels. The men removed their waiter outfits to reveal dark bodysuits underneath their clothes. Britney smiled insanely at Ember.
"Your going out in a bang! You may be a star, but I'm a super star!" Laughed Britney.
"Your insane! Your willing to kill me and a bunch of innocent people just because my songs became popular?" Said Ember.
"Oh I'm willing to do it. I'm going to make a new name for myself and become infamous!" Said Britney.
"Won't you get killed by the explosion?" Asked Ember.
"Oh I'll be long gone before that bomb goes off." Said Britney as she pressed a button on the clock and the timer started to tick down.
Ember eyed it nervously.
Backstage Danny was suited up with his mask, hood, and outfit, Valerie strapped on a jetpack, and Tucker readied his blaster. The plan was for Valerie to fly out and toss some flash bangs and smoke bombs at Britney's men in the audience to cause some confusion, while Danny and Tucker raced on stage to save Ember and defuse the bomb. The three were fixing to rush out and begin their plan, when something unexpected happened.
A few minutes earlier Scarlet, Emp, and the knights arrived. Scarlet used the receiver to pinpoint Aragon's location. A few of Britney's men were posted outside the door the team needed to enter, but Scarlet quickly got rid of them by hitting them with some throwing stars that struck the unsuspected foes in the neck dropping them to the ground gasping and dying. Scarlet and Emp split the knights up into two groups to stand before two doors. Scarlet pulled out his sword and signaled the team to charge in. The knights charged in shouting and firing blasters at Britney's men taking them by surprise and cutting several of them down. The Rebels decided to launch their plan into action during the confusion. Valerie flew about tossing flash bangs and smoke bombs into the goons confusing them even more. A couple member of the audience also got involved with the fight. Princess Mandie of Boudacia punched one goon in the face and threw a crazy kick into the gut of another, while Prince Mark of Yugopotamia picked up a fallen blaster and fired it around like crazy at Britney's men. Both Mandie and Mark's parents were proud of their children that day. Several members of the audience screamed and fled the scene.
Scarlet ran through the crowd cutting down enemy combatants with his sword. He ran one man through with his sword and reached Aragon, Dora, and Poindexter. A bunch of knights reached the prince and quickly surrounded him and his sister to protect them and escort them to safety. Aragon was fixing to order his troops to get him to safety, but a scene on the stage caught his attention and stopped him from giving the order. Scarlet looked at the stage and he was stunned by what he saw.
Britney had summoned a bunch of her men to her side to protect her and was trying to come up with an escape plan, when Danny appeared on stage with his lightsaber drawn. The goons stared at Danny stunned before they started firing at him. Danny expertly deflected the blasts sending some of the shots back at his attackers taking them out. One of the deflected blast hit the restraint on Ember's right arm and freed it. Ember used her freed arm to free herself and pick up her guitar. The rockstar saw Britney cowering nearby and ran towards her. Britney was having a little panic attack as her plan was falling apart and then she saw Ember running at her with a guitar.
"The shows over!" Shouted Ember as she struck Britney in the head with the guitar.
Britney collapsed to the ground in an unconscious heap as Danny finished off the last of the goons. Tucker ran onto the stage and went over to the timer to defuse the bomb.
"I can disconnect it from the barrels, but I don't have the time to defuse it." Said Tucker as he looked at Danny.
"Then will just have to get rid of it. Valerie we need an exit hole!" Said Danny.
"On it!" Said Valerie as she fired a rocket at the roof and blew a hole in it.
Danny put away his lightsaber and concentrated with the Force. The time bomb was lifted off the ground and then hurled up through the hole in the roof! The timer reached zero and the bomb exploded outside shacking the building. The audience was stunned by what they had witnessed.
"The...Phantom saved us." Whispered Jazz with awe.
"His a Jedi!" Gasped several members of the audience.
Valerie landed next to Danny and Tucker and threw a smoke bomb to the ground obscuring everyone's view. When the smoke cleared there was no sign of the Jedi and his friends. A bunch of powerful people now knew a Jedi existed in the Amitrax System.
