Reflect, Protect, Escape

[Eithni Vala Stark]

All hell broke loose when the alarm went off, as blaster fire flew all around the little group of trouble. Eithni deflected and redirected shots after shots the best she could as Kalanda led the way with the five pilot droids. Though as fast as they wanted to go, they just couldn't sprint to the heavy freighter parked and ready for shipment. The speed of the dive droids moved forward in a jogging speed, being unable to actually go any faster.

With only minimal cover from the surrounding on the last run for the ship, made it rather tough for Eithni, given that this was her first real time using her lightsaber for defence. Releasing a powerful force of lightning grilling and shocking three security guards, forcing the rest to go behind cover where they were while pulling their hurt employees to safety. It gave the Eithni and Kalanda a bit of a breathing room, for only a few seconds, before the guards felt the distance was far enough to follow the break-in group.

"FLANK THEM!" Yelled one of the security guards and started to give orders. It did really not help things that when they finally got to the large heavy freighter, the ramp took a bit of time, forcing Eithni and the droids as well as Kalanda to seek cover behind one of the large landing gears. extinguishing her blade and snapping it to her belt, Eithni drew her energy bow and started to return fire, as standing in the open would have been suicide for her, even with her kind of powers.

Eithni had dropped her invisibility cloaking and just waited for the ramp to slowly go down. The guards, however, seemed to figure out that the reasons for the droids, was to pilot their employer's ownership out of the factory and most likely away from the planet. That information made the guards turn their attention to the droids a lot more than Kalanda and Eithni, forcing Eithni to yet again, use her lightsaber in order to deflect any incoming bolts directed towards the droids.

When the ramp finally went down, it became a damn light show as Eithni, however, tired she was, managed to deflect and redirect bolts back and away. When they all finally got up the ramp and into the ship, saw Eithni a possibility by grabbing one of the late-night technicians, forcing the security personal to actually hold fire. "Please don't kill me! I'm just a simple technician!" Pleaded the man, no begged. Eithni didn't respond but smirked over how it made the guards stop.

"Close the ramp Kala!" Called Eithni and the moment the ramp started to ascend back up, to close off the entrance and force pushed Eithni the man, making him fly through the air, forcing some of the guards to catch him. By the time Eithni had pushed the technician off the ramp, had she entered the ship and heard the ship's engine go live.

It was utter chaos that ensued, as now that the pair had control of the ship, they were quite literally in the den of the enemy. Kalanda tried her best to keep the guards suppressed, but even the Sith had to admit that the level of security that was coming at them was too much, even for her. Without a lightsaber, their chances of fighting through seemed rather slim. "Nini!" Kalanda shouted, as she ducked into cover as a blast nearly tagged her. As Eithni got the men to cease their firing by taking a hostage, Kalanda pulled the droids on board before the guards could think to kill them as well.

Kalanda would begin to shut the ramp as Eithni began to set foot onto the ship, her free hand putting up a force barrier to protect the witch as a flurry of blaster fire assailed them, stopping several of the shots, before the ramp finally shut and they were safe for the moment. Kalanda moved to the cockpit, knowing her powers would be needed there, as the little droid crew were hard at working setting themselves up to launch. The hanger bay door was open, but a loud thundering noise hinted that the ground crew were attempting to close it. "Eithni!" Kalanda announced, as she reached out with the force and attempted to keep the doors open, as the ship began to shake and rise off the ground. Gritting her teeth, Kalanda strained herself, as the heavy sets of doors began to slowly descend, only momentarily being delayed by the work of the Sith.

As the ramp closed after Eithni, the little witch stood, breathing a larger take as she tried to keep it under control. As far as they were right now, they were still not out of danger. Eithni could still hear the blaster fire hit against the medium-sized generator civil-grade deflector shield, which was fortunate for Eithni and Kalanda. Quickly getting over to Kalanda, Eithni smiled sweetly to her Kala and flared her magick and reached out with the force like the Sith and grabbed hold of the heavy sets of doors and with the combined force, managed Eithni and Kalanda to hold the exit clear for the Balaen-class heavy freighter to fly out.

As the ship finally left the factory, stopped Eithni using her magick and force and jumped Kalanda with a big bear hug, followed by a deep passionate kiss. When finally breaking the kiss, Eithni looked to Kalanda with a grin, "we did it! We just need to get the rest of my droids!" Stated the witch and help Kalanda up and then dashed through the large ship, to get into the cockpit.

It didn't take long for them to get to the hiding spot of all the other droids and before they knew it, had the Balaen-class heavy freighter landed just outside of the hiding area with an open hanger ramp. Standing at the top of the ramp, looked Eithni on as all her droids entered with a huge grin on her lips. "Ahhhh look at all these tin men!" cheered the Nightsister happily.

However, the joy was short-lived, as a robotic beeping came over the comm of the ship, warning of incoming hostile starships, heading for their way. Closing the ramp and turning to the rest of the droids, Eithni started to tell the droids what she wanted them to do and soon Kalanda would meet fast walking droids passing by where she was, as they would get to their posts.

Just as fast as the Balaen-class heavy freighter had landed, just as fast did they get into the air, heading for the stars with five starships hot on their tail.

With Eithni's assistance, Kalanda managed to keep the door held open. As the ship lifted off, the security teams continued to fire, but with the shields on, their attacks would do no harm to the ship. As the ship left the hanger, Kalanda released her hold on the door, fatigue washing over her as the great weight of the object left her. She hardly had time to catch a breath, as she was soon beset by Eithni, who wrapped her up in a hug and pressed a rather long kiss onto her lips. For a few moments, Kalanda forgot where she was, as her head was spinning from the affections she was shown. Kalanda had a rather silly smile on her face, as she embraced her friend, before being lead into the cockpit. Taking a seat, Kalanda tried to think of how she should approach Eithni and the nature of their relationship. When would be a good time for that? What would she even say? It was during this time that they had reached the hiding spot of Eithni's droids, that Kalanda would remember they still had a ship to steal.

Raising from her seat, she moved towards the Navacomputer and began to start the hyperspace jump protocol, setting the coordinates for Dathomir. She could hear Eithni's excitement from all the way in the cockpit, as her little droid crew scrambled in and went to work. The joy was short lived, as warning indications began to go off within the cockpit, as star fighters were apperently inbound towards the pairs position. Sighing, Kalanda made for the gunnery station for the ship, climbing down the ladder, she slid into one of the chairs and warmed up the turret, hopefully this thing had it's targeting computer set up. As the fighters closed in and the ship lifted off, Kalanda would put the first fighter in her sights, preparing to fire once it drew closer.

The moment that they took off with all the remaining droids they had to get, the hostile ships lit up the hiding spot, in hopes of destroying whoever was hiding there. The three other ships tried to blast the Balaen-class heavy freighter, in an attempt to at least take out the ship and strand the thieves. No such luck as the Balaen-class heavy freighter started to gain altitude and blast for the sky. The lit started to lit up as the pursuing starfighters kept on chasing the stolen Balaen-class heavy freighter, even as the heavy freighter started to return fire. And just to make it worse, a light freighter, armed to the teeth, was slowly gaining in on the heavy variant.

"Faster faster guys!" Cheered Eithni, bouncing on the ground behind one of the ship chairs, slapping the top of the backrests. One of the droids turned its head, starting to beep an answer, but was interrupted by Eithni, "I don't know, jump to lightspeed or something!" suggested the Nightsister, not having any idea how the heavy freighter actually worked.

Closer and closer the ship came to the horizon of the planet, has now also the light freighter's firepower reign down upon the Balaen-class heavy freighter from the back. A couple of enemy starfighters got shot down but wasn't enough to make the rest turn around as all the ships were really close to exiting the final layer of the ozone layer covering the planet.

[Kalanda Tishire]

As the ship continued to flee, Kalanda was forced to fire at the security fighter, as the shot from the turret struck it dead on, sending the ship wobbling out of control, before it stabilized. Several of the fighters shot towards them, only for the shots to bounce off the shields. Kalanda began to lay down suppressive fire towards the ships, hoping to get them to decrease speed, maybe give them more time to plot a hyperspace jump, though given what she was hearing from the cockpit that sounded unlikely. Pressing down on the intercom, Kalanda made herself known. "Nini, we need to get into orbit to make the jump. If we try it from here the gravity of the planet will tear us in two."She hoped the girl might get the message, and if not her maybe the droids.

Once again, the ship rattled, as another shot struck against the shields, Kalanda fired at the offending vessel, clipping it's wing as it fell out of the sky. It was almost impossible to get rid of these guys. Several of the other guns on the ship began to fire, reducing the number of attackers little by little, but they still needed to get the heck out of there. "Nini, is everything okay up there?" Kalanda asked, just in time for a shot to nearly knock her out of her seat. Clearly there were still issues on the flip side. In the cockpit, Eithni's droids would be beeping in binary like crazy, two of them began to aggressively beep at each over some misunderstanding about calculating the hyperspace route. Eithni would have her hands full, as her droids, while professional, unfortunately had the mannerism of small children.
