Pursuing the fleeing Imperial loyalists was not hard to do. When the Ifranian reinforcements arrived, Leah had leaped into action and ordered them all back into their ships to pursue the fleeing loyalist cell. So, the Ifranian cell and their Jedi companion traced their enemies back to an abandoned Imperial bunker on the nearby mountainside. The bunker was unkempt to say the least. Asha guessed that it had not seen upkeep since the Empire pulled off of Ifrane. It was small, overgrown with vegetation, and there was a rusted and unusable five hundred year old crashed Republic cruiser jutting out of the mountain side above it.
Already, as her ship landed, Asha could see the remains of the loyalist cell massing outside the rusted bunker's broken-down doors. She counted twenty in all—almost as many men as the Ifranians had brought with them. The loyalists didn't pull punches either. As soon as the Ifranians landed, blaster fire began to rain down on them. Asha exited from ship and entered a full-blow battle. Almost at once, she was transported back into the days of the Revolution. She remembered battles like this, and she was determined to win this one too.
She unsheathed her sword with one hand and drew her blaster with the other. She was a new Jedi Padawan now, but without a lightsaber, she would still be ducking blaster fire the old fashioned way. She aimed and shot at the nearest insurgent, scoring a headshot. But, almost immediately, return fire drove any confidence the one shot had earned her. A blaster bolt smacked the hilt of her sword, shattering the weapon and burning her hand. Asha screamed at the momentary flash of pain and the dull, burning throb that followed it. Instinctively, she took cover behind a falling log at the base of the incline leading up towards the insurgent bunker.
"Shit," she cursed to herself. "I really need that lightsaber now." @Deviant
