Tides of Change

[steven]

Surprised by the Mandalorian's actions sudden action, Hyde quickly pulled out his blaster was about to shoot him if he hadn't flicked the detonator. He coughed before putting away his blaster and giving the man a strange look. "I'm guessing you have a perfectly good reason for doing that," But as the man opened his mouth to speak, Hyde interrupted him by saying "Tell us later. Before we get started I'm Hyde, this is Ace, Deitra and Frall." The speeder shook for a moment as they ran over over. "Geez, who the hell is driving this thing? Oh wait, that would be me." Hyde said as he turned around and continued driving, trying to avoid the fire of the remaining basilisk.

"Any of you mind threatening me with a blaster or something? I only changed sides because I didn't feel like landing on a lightsaber, and since our chances of getting away are not excactly great, I would prefer if they think me a prissoner."

"I'll do you one better," Ace announced, grandly plucking Deitra's lightsaber from her belt and switching it on. Startled, Deitra protested and Ace thrust the saber's hilt back into her hand. Ace chuckled and said, "Can't stand the feel of that thing... no counterweight from the blade..."

 

Deitra held her saber straight up for a brief moment, and then reached forward, drawing the Mandalorian up against her body and leveling her saber across his neck. "This isn't entirely an act," she warned him. "We don't know anything about you... best safe than sorry..." At that moment the detonator he'd flicked back into the ship exploded, tearing the ship apart. Ace's eyes widened.

 

"Hyde!" he exclaimed. "If we're trying for a complete getaway, I think off-world's going to be our best bet... we've got a ship..."

 

"No!" Deitra exclaimed forcefully. "If they've caught any sight whatsoever of you or I, that ship will be blocked off..."

 

"Hey, Kamikaze kid," Ace said, turning on the Mandalorian who'd jumped aboard their speeder. "Any news on your friends seizing our ship?"

 

"And we still have to hear if Frall's got an idea," Deitra added hurriedly. She glanced at Frall, still keeping her lightsaber at the Mandalorian's neck. "Frall? Stay or go? You're in charge here..."

"Blaster! I said blaster! After what I have survived today, I dont want to be killed by the next bumb in the road" While Mirar didn't excatly mind bing this close to the girl, the lightsaber was a diferent matter.

 

"And right now, I have nothing to gain by betraying you, certain death by execution is worse than almost certain death by whatever they send against us"

 

"As for the ship, they haven't seized it yet, I sorta forgott to tell them about what building I was watching. But if you want to try and get trough an alerted defence grid, leave me behind."

Frall grunted and looked at the Mandalorian.

"We're going through the defence grid allright, but not to the hangars" he said and leaned forwards to Hyde , taking a light hold of his shoulder to get his attention.

"To the Mandalorian base. And no objections" he said and leaned back, staring at the Mandalorian.

"You, what's the least guarded entrance, if you include air vents to the category?" he asked and drew his blaster, pointing it at his head as he requested. His index finger was seemingly already itching on the trigger finger and a light glow could be seen deep in the barrel, meaning that he was loading a more powerful shot.

"If I am to show you the *easy* way in, I need to know which base are we heading towards. And we must get rid of my mates before we do anything, otherwise they'll simply initiate lockdown." Seeing that the biggy apparently was quite ready to decorate the speeder with his squishy parts, he added. "And you might want to rethink the whole *shoot him if he acts funny* thing, unless you want to know how it felt to be in the dropship."
