Bespin Escape

"Hold on, if there's twenty let me take the first couple then cover me." Sib said grabbing another pipe. She jumped up onto a ledge above the warehouse door. When the first few troops entered the warehouse she dropped down and hit the pipes over the troopers helmets. Thats when the firefight began. Sib flipped behind a crate and hurled a pipe at another troop. She rolled behind another crate to get closer to Karn and Afton when a stray bolt struck her leg...

"It's not my fault!"

"Oh yeah? What's in it for me?"

Before Afton could say no, Sib grabbed a pip and took out the first couple of troopers.

Damn these novices they don't know how to handle these kind of battles, she thought as she saw Sib get hit. With no time to waist Afton sent a volly of fire into the oncoming troops. The first few hit the ground nice and hard. Staying in the shadows she moved away from her position. As she moved along she took out more of the advancing troops. She could see Karn fireing insainly at the troopers. She stopped firing for a moment and realised that the troopers could not find her. Taking the advantage she commando rolled whilest fireing...

Sib cried out as the bolt hit her and she fell to the ground. A stormtrooper loomed over her, "Freeze Rebel scum!" he said pointing the rifle. "Sorry," she said, "But I've gotta make an escape!" She swept her good leg under the trooper and he feel forward. Sib grabbed his rifle and fired at the next wave of troops. None of shots hit but the troops dove for cover and it gave her time to roll out of the way and back to cover. She ended up next to Karn, "I think it's time we get outta here." she said holding her leg...

"I think it's time we get outta here," Sib said holding her wounded leg.

"I'm two steps ahead of you, " Karn replied. He'd been firing his blaster mercilessly in order to stop an all out advance of the main trooper body. He'd planned on following Afton's plan, mainly to see how much she could be trusted, though now things were different. In the blaze of fire he created, the Storm Troopers didn't notice the concussion grenade he threw at them.

"Move it Afton!" Karn yelled as he grabbed Sib and threw over his shoulder. Sib didn't take being helped in such a manner lightly, and kicked Karn in the jaw as the grenade exploded - killing a large body of Stormtroopers. Trying to ignore Sibs attempts to knock him out, Karn ran to the other end of the facility before putting her down.

"Your welcome, " Karn said sarcastically as he fired towards the remaining Storm troopers in an effort to cover Afton. Though there was no need, she was already beside them waiting with her droid to exit the facility.

"Time to go," he whispered to himself, throwing another grenade, only a metre away from them. He saw Sib's eyes grown and even Afton appeared startled. Before either could ask what he was doing, Karn used his blaster to open the back door. As he ducked his out to see if it was clear, the second grenade went off - not in an explosion, though in a cloud of smoke.

"It looks clear, lets get going." Karn said as he moved back into the building. Once again, he was too late - Afton was already out, and Sib was hoping out on her own.

"Once again, you're welcome."

Afton ran to the door where Karn had told them to go, her plan was ruined but she didn't mind. They would have been able to kill all the stormtroopers had it been followed, but now they had to escape with an injured man, or rather woman. She was slightly pissed off, but thats the way the cookie crubles if people didn't trust her. She could not expect them to trust her really because they just meet her. She was quickly snapped back to reality when she remembered the situation.

 

Afton looked around them there was no real place to hide. Suddenly she had an idea. She spun around to her ASN-121.

"Go and find out how many troopers are left then scane the area too see if there are anymore coming then report back to me."

Turning to the others she said.

"Heres the deal, you trust me on this no matter how stupid it sounds and I'll get us all to safely." She looked at their faces.

 

"Ok listen up. Sib cause you are injured you are going to be the bait. Now if you trust me nothing will happen to you. Karn you hide near the that crate over there. Sib you just postition yourself near him but don't draw attention to him. Now I will go back into the warehouse and hide in the shadows, when they come out they will see Sib but they will not shot because they will want to know why we are here. When they come out I will follow and when they get near, but not to near Sib, I will fire. Hopefully they will spin around to attack me and then Karn will attack for his position."

 

She looked at them for responces.

After checking if that was alright she pulled a DH-17 pistol from her jacket and chucked it to Sib.

"When they turn for me use it, the more fire power the better. Now lets move."

 

Afton move off in the direction of the warehouse...

Sib positioned herself as bait, and was in a pretty clear line of sight. A group of three troopers rounded the corner and started running once they saw her lying there. "There's one, set for stun!" Sib got a bit nervious, They wouldn't try to hit me from that distance would they, she got her answer. Two of the troops fired blue stun bolts at her. "Sorry," she said, "Quietly looks like I need to alter the plan." She spun up on her left good leg and stood, but when she stood up her other leg gave out and she fell. More stun bolts wizzed by hitting walls and other things but one of the bolts struck her low in the chest and she collapsed. The bolt wasn't enough to stun her but enough to immoblize her and she hope her new friends would stick to the plan...

"It's not my fault!"

"Oh yeah? What's in it for me?"

Afton's plan had merit - doing it her way would surprise the Stormtroopers as well as forcing them to fight a two sided battle, putting them in the crossfire. From being the captain of a frigate, he knew how useful such a tactic was. Though now, things looked as if they might go wrong again.

"Sib? Sib, can you move?" He whispered. She didn't flinch. It looked like she had been stunned. Great, but this isn't the time to improvise - Afton is still behind the Imperials. Karn was now holding his own Corellian blaster and an Imperial E-11 he'd aquired during the battle earlier, waiting behind the create Afton had told him to hide behind. He slowly edged towards the corner as he waited for Afton to open fire . . .

Sib couldn't move. The stun bolt hit her hard, if another blast hit her she was out. She couldn't see anything but the pinkish sky of Bespim above her. Today alone, she'd been chased, shot, and stunned. If Ulic was still alive she'd kill him herself...

"It's not my fault!"

Afton followed the stormtroopers at a safe distance, making sure she stayed in the shadows. When she saw Sib however her heart sank.

The girl does not trust me, she whispered, thinking maybe she should just leave. They did not need her help, let alone wont it, they thought they could do it all on their lonesome. Well fine then, I will leave you to see if you can get out of this yourself, you.... NO she must no do that it went against the way she had been brought up.Don't be stupid Afton, she whispered to herself. Ok I'll help them this time but next time I will see what great plans they can come up with.

 

Turning back to the job at hand, she stepped out of the shadows and called out.

"Hey you Imperial jack asses, over here."

Without waisting a moment her gun was firing deadly laser fire. She noticed that Karn was now firing as well.

At least HE stay'd true to the plan.

 

The troopers become confused and reacted slowly with gave Afton time to pull the DDC Defender out of her boot. She fired both guns in unison and soon the troopers where all lying on the floor dead. She walked to the dead troops and took some more weapons.

"Karn come and fill up on weaponry. You will be needing it." She said as she walked over to Sib...

"Hey you Imperial jack asses, over here."

There was no doubt about it, that was Afton's signal. In the following the seconds, his mind blazed, as did his weapons. It didn't take long for the Stromtroopers to be overwelmed by the concentrated fire, soon they lay on the ground dead.

"Karn come and fill up on weaponry. You will be needing it," Afton yelled out. Karn was now kneeling on the ground, with both of his blasters lay on the ground as he checked Sib. She wasn't moving, he quickly checked her pulse - a little faster than normal, though she was alive. A sense of relief washed over his body as it confirmed that she was only hit by the stun bolt earleir and not a stray blaster bolt during the battle. Standing up, Karn lifted Sib up supported her on his shoulder.

Calling towards Afton, who was heading towards them, he called out. "She's alright - just stunned. Bring me the energy clips of an E-11 and what ever holdout blaster they were using while you're over there." Karn, with a pause, added. "Good plan Afton."

The trio then quickly moved, with one being carried, into the back streets before any more Stormtroopers could could attack them.

Sib really wished she'd followed Afton's plan a little more closely but they hadn't thought about stun bolts at least she didn't think so. As Karn carried her she could see the ground moving as he went. The only thing worse than being stunned was not being completly stunned so you could be awake while you couldn't move. This wasn't her first time being stunned and she hoped it would be her last.

"It's not my fault!"

"Oh yeah? What's in it for me?"

Afton's ASN-121 flew over after she had picked up some weapons.

"All is clear for now, but once the news gets out we will probably have a rather large problem."

"Thanx," she replied and walked off with the others. They walked down an allie looking for a place to hide till Sib came around.

 

Afton staid back, she was no longer going to assert herself into the group. If they wanted her help they could ask, but untill then she would stay very reserved...

Sib was laid down on the ground in the alley as they waited for the stun bolt to wear off. Since it might take awhile the others decided their next move. Sib desperatly wanted to tell them she was sorry for causing this delay espescially to Afton, but until the bolt wore off there was nothing she could do...

"It's not my fault!"

"Oh yeah? What's in it for me?"

"Ok, when Sib was on her comm I over heard her being told to take out the jamming beacon next. Though, there's still this Uric . . . Uilc . . ah, whatever his name is, to rescue from Imperial custody." Karn said while crouching down, hidden from sight incase of any Imperials that might be roaming the area. "The way I see it, is we have three choice: one, we take Sib and find some shelter somewhere and have a rest and maybe get some re-enforcements. Two, we go destroy the jamming beacon and let all the Imperials on Bespin know that they have Rebels running around the place. And three, we save Sib's friend first."

Karn waited for Afton's responce - and hopefully Sib's, she appeared to be getting some movement back.

Afton thought hard, it was a tuff choose. She knew what she would do had it been justs her, but it wasn't and she needed to take into consideration the lack of experience that seemed to be present in the group. Looking at Sib she said.

"I think we should see what Sib thinks. Maybe we can even get in contact with her employer, and see what they think."

 

She really didn't want to take over, she felt she was slightly unrespected... but Sib was incharge really. Well it was her mission to start off with. Turning to Karn she said.

"Look I don't want to imposse so I think we should see what Sib's boss says. We are in a bit of a predicament as I see it."

Karn thought hard about what Afton suggested. He had contimplated the same thing, though he didn't know much about Sib's boss. Being part of the Rebellion and a smuggler made him overlly cautious when it came to people he didn't know, especially when they were of high power and a shify background such as the Rebellion. He realised that he fitted his own description, and truth be told, he wouldn't trust himself. After all that had happened today, he wouldn't be surprised if there was an ambush waiting for him somewhere along the way. Against his better judgment, Karn aggreed.

"Ok, Sib - once you've come around, contact your boss and tell him what we've done."

No sooner had he said this did Sib start moving her left leg.

She sat up, "Stars I hate stun bolts!" She streched and pulled out a comlink. Nothing but static. "We must be right inside the jamming zone. So we either make our to the jamming station or... Karn, your what about average stormtrooper height right? We take one of the suits from that last battle and head to the detention center, we break Ulic out and then blow the jamming station."

"It's not my fault!"

"Oh yeah? What's in it for me?"

Afton looked over to Sib. It was a great idea, there were risks involved with every mission and this one was no different. Afton thought over it for a while, yes it would work, all they needed to know was where to find this Ulic follow.

“That’s a good idea Sib, but how are we supposed to know where Ulic is?â€

"Well I don't know a lot about Cloud City's detention centers but I figure once we're inside we can find him, but then again...No let's go for it, I've always had a sense around Ulic I can pick him out from a group of people. If he's alive we can get him out easy."

"It's not my fault!"

"Oh yeah? What's in it for me?"

The white armour-clad trooper walked behind Sib and Afton. Raising his E-11 blaster, the trooper yelled out to them.

"Freeze Rebel scum."

Slowly the two turned around and stared at the Storm trooper with the blaster pointed at them. Neither moved. With a laugh, Karn removed the Stormtrooper helmet and got two of the most evil glares he had ever gotten in his life.

"Well, if it fooled you two, it'll fool Stormtroopers!" Karn continued with a grin on his face. "So, if we don't know where Ulric is - lets go ask. But first, Afton - can you give Sib some help with her blaster wound?"

 

***

 

Karn marched his two prisoners to an Imperial command post several levels down from the surface city of Bespin. An officer was waiting with two of his own gaurds at an unmarked door. Hopefully this is the right one! Karn continued to move Sib and Afton upto the door, and didn't speak until the two were close enough for hand to hand combat if things got nasty.

"Sir, I have two prisoners that say they belong with the same rebellious faction as the prisoner caught this morning."

The officer arced an eyebrow, he was obviously sceptical of Karn.

"Oh, and which prisoner would that be."

"My commanding officer told me that it was the one taken off for intense interegation - I know no more about him."

"And you CO, what is his name?"

"His name was Sergeant Thants. My squad was jumped by these two, and after he ordered me to take these two for interegation a second wave of rebels attacked killing him and most of my unit, sir." Most of what Karn said was true, except it had been Sib, Afton and himself who had been attacked by Sergeant Thants' squad.

The officer stared at Karn for a long time and then glanced at the two prisoners. He walked up and kicked Sib's bandaged wound, probably trying to see if was real. She fell to the ground and screemed in pain. The bandage was now stained with fresh blood that was seeping from the wound.

"Very well, the other prisoner is down this hall." The officer looked at Afton, "You, help this pathetic creature to its cell."

The trio continued down the hall away from the officer and towards Ulric.

"You ok Sib?" Karn asked once he was sure no one was around.

Sib cluched her wound and swore quickly and several times in her native tounge, Ryl. She assumed no one else spoke it but right now she didn't care. She pulled the bandages tighter around her wound and hoped the bleeding would stop. She started speaking again and had gotten out a few sentences when she realized she was still speaking in Ryl. "Sorry, old habits." she smiled weakly. They moved down the corridor and Sib limped a bit but shortly regained a normal walk. It wasn't long before they found Ulic's cell. They opened it up and Sib walked in. Sure enough Ulic Horn was lying on his back on a metal cot. "Ulie!" Sib said quietly and rushed over to him. "Sib!" Ulic said weakly. "I thought you'd show up. I just figured it'd be through interogation like me." he flashed a winning grin. Sib stood him up and then gave him a sharp kick to the leg. "DO you know what I went through to save you! I got shot! I don't get shot for just anyone!" She started shouting in Ryl again and Ulic rolled his eyes...

"It's not my fault!"

"Oh yeah? What's in it for me?"
