The kicking, punching, scratching and of course yelling wouldn’t stop. Especially since Rory told her to keep it up. Rory said Sorr was far away. But how? He hadn’t left her side that long ago. The taunts about the Hutts just kept coming and the kicking and squirming got sharper and quicker as they young Chiss did everything she could to slip through Rory’s grip.

“Sorr!!!” Tiaza screamed again. “What did you do to him!?” She shifted her shoulders side to side trying to break the smuggler’s hold on her waist. “You know if you hurt him that his Mom will probably be mad. If that happens his Dad will probably get mad. From what I hear you won’t want that.”

The kicking and twisting started to slow down a little as Tiaza began to fatigue. She wished that she had taken those pop dance lessons that Sap had suggested to liven up her shows. Maybe that would have built up more stamina. “I am a famous singer. I’m sure that you can get more for me releasing me to my manager than the Hutts. Add that to what Sorr would get his Mom to pay…” She stopped talking to pant a little before catching her breath. “Think about it. Help!!!”​

"Let's just say he needed to go to his room," Rory said while Tiaza struggled against his vice grip. "Don't worry if he's a good boy, Sorr won't try to resist. My grunt will easily pacify him if he tries something stupid. Kid got a good heart but it's too soft for the Smuggling business."

Just as he descended the ramp, Rory's gaze focused on Sorr who pointed his blaster pistol at Rory. "Put her down.... NOW!" Sorr yelled.

"I knew Brinna wasn't going to go through with this." Rory shook his laughing while he casually dropped Tiaza onto the floor.

“Boss. The dumb boy had a hidden stun blaster,” Brinna’s voice called over Rory’s comm. As she spoke the words into her datapad she couldn’t help but smile. “He’s heading your way. Be careful. I’m going to meet with his contact and at least steal his cargo. Sorry I underestimated the brat. Not the first to do so.” She smiled at the dig she made to her “boss”.

As she was talking to Khommites showed up with two very large crates on a repulsor-dolly. “Hold here,” she said to them. “This from Kaell 327? I’m with the crew to secure it. There’s some trouble in the docking bay right now. Just a second for my associate to clear it up.”​

“Ooofff!” Tiaza grunted as she was casually tossed aside when her boyfriend appeared to save her. “Sorr!!!” she cried out. “It’s Rory. He broke in and grabbed me. Said he’s going to sell me off to the Hutts.”

Thankfully she didn’t land on her ankle when the smuggler threw her down, but she wasn’t about to stand and get in the way of blaster fire. The young Chiss elbowed Rory, lightly as it turned out, in the knee and started to crawl off in the direction of Sorr hoping that he would again be successful in defeating the man who was supposed to be his mentor. ​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

"That's exactly what I'm going to do kid," Rory said immediately taking out his Pistol shooting Sorr on the chest. The young man eyes lit up in shock as he was lifted from his feet. "Told you," Rory said blowing the smoke from the nozzle of the pistol. "You were too soft for this business."

Twirling his pistol, Rory holstered his weapon grabbing Tiaza by the hair and beginning to drag her away from Sorr's lifeless body. "Had a soft spot for you though kid," Rory smirked looking over Sorr who remained motionless on the ground. "Rest in Peace." The old Smuggler took out a Holoprojector and a mercenary appeared.

"Take care of the crates Brinna." Rory said while he dragged Tiaza by the hair like a rag doll. "Take care of the body." He said to the mercenary on the Holoprojector. "Have the Mom believe that Sorr was killed by thugs."

"Right away sir." The mercenary nodded as the image disappeared.

"Ouch!!!" Tiaza yelped knowing how stupid it sounded, but she couldn't think of anything else to do as she was dragged away by the hair. "Sorr!!!" she cried out hoping that she hadn't seen what she just saw.

Tears flowed down the young Chiss' cheeks. Sorr had to have done something. He couldn't be gone. She loved him. She had lost too much already and spent so little time with Sorr. He just had to be ok, no matter how improbable it seemed.​

"Ok," Brinna muttered to the Khmmoites "That ship there." She pointed to the Tiaza's Purr. "I need to take out the big guy. But your work is done as soon as the merch is on the ship."

Brinna rushed out into the docking bay. She really hoped that Sorr was smarter than he was strong. A flurry of punches and kicks put the mercenary on the ground before he knew that Brinna was on him. She then reached for Sorr's blaster to finish the job.​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

"Hey Dag."

Sorr walked with his older brother: Dagmar Kortu in the spacesport of Coruscant. Once again, he was going on tour to fight the Brotherhood. The war was picking up steam again with the Brotherhood taking Selvaris, Batorine, and Xa Fel. According to GADF intel that Sorr sliced in back at home. Command believed that the Brotherhood were intent on capturing Empress Teta to use it as a foothold when they assault Tython.

Whatever the plan was, the fact of the matter is that the Brotherhood was in the Core and the Galactic Alliance was on edge. Trade routes were disrupted, doubt gripped the people as they wondered if this was the end. "What's up Sorr?" Dagmar said carrying his bags and heading towards the starship. "Do you think....." Sorr looked down on the ground sighing. "We're going to survive this? The Sith are in the Core Worlds again, this time they have a lot of planets under their control. The.... news said that it's only a matter of time before the reach Coruscant again to finish what they've started."

Dagmar was lost in thought for a bit before smiling. "We'll be fine," he said simply. "How many times has the Sith taken over the Core only for us to easily take it back? People thought that the Galactic Empire would last for a thousand years but they didn't last 30. People thought that the One Sith's rule would last for an eternity, they were beat back in the Omega War. People are afraid that's true but as long as there's heroes and hope, we'll have a chance. We're not dead yet Sorr."

Sorr chuckled nervously. "I wish I could go with you," he said. "I want to help you. I want to see the Galaxy"

A smile formed on Dagmar's face. "Come on Sorr," he said. "You just graduated don't end up like Dad and I fighting the Dark Side. It's not a pretty sight besides I got a feeling that the war will be over soon."

"Oh?"

"I dunno just a feeling," Dagmar shrugged. "Besides, this tour is probably just me sitting on my ass doing nothing."

"Well at least you're in the front lines!" Sorr yelled. "I'm just cooped up in my room just waiting for the Sith to arrive."

"You got a future ahead of you." Dagmar said. "A bright one, you have exceptionally high marks in the pilot program. You could be a commercial pilot."

"That sounds boring," Sorr said. "I want adventure, excitement!"

Dagmar chuckled. "You've had your head in those Holovids for a little too long." He rifled through is pocket and casually tossed Sorr a coin. "What's this?" Sorr asked frowning.

"My lucky coin," Dagmar said. "It's made out of Beskar, the Mandos forged it bought it off some merchant on Jakku. It kept me alive in my tours, It could help you."

"Wait a minute?!" Sorr said taken aback. "You're going to war! I don't need this! You need the luck."

"Don't need luck," Dagmar winked. "When I got skill besides I got the feeling that you need it more than I do."

Sorr rolled his eyes. "What's with these feelings you're getting." He laughed. "Don't tell me you're Force sensitive like Markus!"

"His ass will be devastated," Dagmar said. "I just feel that you'll be needing it a lot more than I will." He looked at the Star Freighter. "Need to go my brother," Dagmar gave a sad smile. "I'll see you soon."

Sorr gave a loud groan slowly opening his eyes he instinctively reached in his front jacket pocket to see the Beskar coin a bit bent but was still intact it was lucky indeed. As he opened his eyes, first thing he saw was Brinna about to grab his Blaster. "No!" Sorr immediately pointed the Pistol at her face. "What happened?!" Sorr growled. "Where's Rory?! Where's Tiaza?!"

Brinna Dara

Brinna put her hands up to show Sorr she meant him no harm. "Relax," she said in astonishment. "You took a good shot. You got some sort of shield on you somewhere?"

The slicer shook her head. "Rory took your girl. I thought he was just doing it to make sure you go along quietly. But now he's rambling on about selling her to the Hutts. Makes no sense. You'll need to hurry to catch them."

The merc started to stir and Brinna placed a foot in his face. "You know Rory's ship right? YT-class, calls it Val. Treats it better than any human. It's in docking bay 24. Hurry! I will help if I can."​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

Sorr was still a little hesitant about Brinna helping him, but he showed her the Beskar coin. "I carry it for good luck," he said placing it in his front jacket pocket. "Looks like it's doing its job."


Brinna explained about his ship which was placed in docking bay 24. "All right!" Sorr nodded brandishing his pistol. "Then let's go!" The young man rushed past Brinna. As he did so, he saw a brief look at the map to his right. Docking Bay 24 was only a mile ahead. "Keep going!" Sorr yelled until he ran into a hail of blaster fire.

"You're not gonna get me that easy kid!" Rory announced over the intercom. Sorr placed his back against the wall as he saw 10 B-1 Battle Droids slowly march towards he and Brinna's location. "Here's some reactivated Confederacy style Battle Droids for ya!"

"I don't have time for this!" Sorr fired back from the corner easily dispatching two Battle Droids at once. "I will get Tiaza Rory!" Sorr roared.

"I'm sure you are kid," Rory said watching the fight from the security room. "Come on sweetheart," Rory said to Tiaza pinching her bottom and carrying her over his shoulder.

When they reached the docking bay that held Rory’s ship he finally released Tiaza’s hair and again threw her up over his shoulder. The young Chiss had been doing little more than screaming as her hair was being pulled, but now that she was back in his grasp she resumed the kicking and punching.

Before they could make it into the ship however, blaster fire started. Tiaza fought to turn enough to see and hear Sorr coming to her rescue. “Sorr!!” she called out with excitement. “I knew that you were better than this bastard.”

As Rory backed off to hide in the security room he called her a name she would only accept from Sorr, or maybe her Dad. Then he pinched her. On the butt!! In the position she had squirmed into she was able to grab hold of her shoulder and bit him as hard as she could. “I won’t give up Sorr. Keep fighting. You’ll save me I know it.” ​

Brinna shook her head. But from what Rory had said Sorr wanted to be a smuggler. Luck was an intrical part of that job. A blaster bolt hitting a beskar coin might just be the luckiest thing that Brinna had ever seen in her life.

She shook her head when Sorr rushed off leaving the merc starting to come through, moaning at Brinna’s feet. She supposed that she didn’t blame him. She would do the same if Shoan was in the Chiss girl’s position and Brinna were in Sorr’s. With a wicked stomp to the face Brinna ended the merc and kept Sorr’s back clear. At least she hoped so. Rory almost never revealed all his schemes.

Brinna caught up to Sorr and of course the slimy old smuggler had droids to back him up. Sorr started firing at them droids as Rory hid in the security room. “Why the frack didn’t he just get in his ship?” Brinna asked rhetorically as she shook her head. “Good luck Sorr. Hope you get your girl back. I gotta get on that ship and I can’t actually attack while he’s watching. But these ancient droids have terrible security. I’ll do my best to level the field for you.” As she said it she hit a button on her datapad and one of the droids fell.

“Rory. Get to the kriffing ship,” Brinna yelled. “The crates are on their way,” she lied, “And you’ve got the girl. You need to get the kark out of here, not play with this boy. If she’s that important he’ll come to you!” With that she rushed to the ramp of Rory’s ship and waited for her employer as much out of sight as she could so that disabling droids in secret was still possible.​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

Rory growled when Tiaza bit his shoulder forcing him to drop her. "The Hyperspace Drive still needs to be fixed." Rory said trying to chase after Tiaza. "As soon as it's done I'm outta here!"

Sorr continued firing upon the Droids, Tiaza's voice over the intercom filled him with hope and vigor. Two more Droids were riddled with blaster while one of the Droids was disabled. Five more to go. "Tiaza!" Sorr shouted hoping that she would listen. "Keep fighting! I'm on my way!"

The young man spotted a crate ahead, the B1 Droids continued their advance as slow as an R2 Unit with a bad motivator. Sorr needed to get to Tiaza before they leave. "Hang on Tiaza!" Sorr ran into the hail of blaster bolts pressing his back against the crate. One of the Droids managed to reach his position but Sorr gave him a face full of blaster.

“Why the kark doesn’t he just get a new ship?” Brinna questioned. She continued hacking the interface to the B1 droids and another two fell. Leaving only three remaining. “Something is always broken. Is this like his homage to Han Solo? Ricketty old Corellian freighter that’s always broken?”

Brinna wondered how Rory was able to keep his work going. Maybe he was almost as lucky as Sorr seemed to be. Their lucks are would be locked in an endless rivalry where no one ever gets the upper hand. If that was what was happening here Brinna hoped to be free of that battle sooner rather than later.

A few more buttons pushed and another droid went down. Two to go. Brinna smiled. The Chiss didn’t deserve to be held by those greasy hands any longer than Brinna could help.​

Loose from Rory’s grasp, Tiaza started to crawl away as fast as she could. “Let me go you sleemo,” she yelled out while trying to kick him to increase the distance between them. It didn’t work well and Rory was smirking at the effort she put out. The door was closed, Tiaza assumed locked. She really didn’t have anywhere to go. She needed Sorr to get to her before Rory got hands on her again.

Figuring that she would do better on her feet, Tiaza tried to stand. In all the panic she forgot about her ankle. It turned again. Not nearly as bad as the first time, but enough that Rory had no trouble capturing her in his grasp again. As he squeezed her tight his thumb was caught in the tear in her shirt. A ripping sound could be heard as well as a laugh from the smuggler.

Rory took a seat in the nearest chair pulling Tiaza into his lap. “Aw sweetheart. You’re gonna need a change of clothes,” Rory said with a chuckle. Tiaza was crying again. She looked down at her shirt. It was not exactly obscene what was showing, but she didn’t like it being held close to Rory. And he was right she would need to change. Sorr liked this outfit so much, it was a good thing that Tiaza had a few more.​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

Another Droid shut down, looked like Brinna is trustworthy after all. Gritting his teeth, Sorr rolled out of cover unleashing a torrent of blaster bolts. Every single blaster bolt struck the two Battle Droids. Blackened holes were smoking from their chests as they fell down onto the floor. A smile formed on Sorr's face as he got up and immediately sprinted towards the docking bay. "You're going to pay Rory!" Sorr shouted.

"Am I now?" Rory said through the intercom placing Tiaza on his lap and sniffing her neck. "I'm amazed you've survived kid." Rory said. "Looks like you got that Smuggler's luck after all. But you don't have the right mentality, you always playing the hero not seeing the big picture. Smugglers always look out for themselves."

"Sir," a mercenary appeared on the Holoprojector. "We're nearly done."

"Excellent!" Rory said rubbing Tiaza's thigh while he sat his lap. "Shall we go sweetheart?"

"Fight back Tiaza!" Sorr yelled running towards the dock. "I'm almost there!"

Tiaza squirmed around as much now as ever. Being thrown over the oaf’s shoulder was one thing, being held in his lap was quite another. Her shirt was torn and squirming would only exacerbate that situation, but she needed to get free. Or at least keep Rory busy as long as possible so Sorr could get to her.

She felt his breath on her neck and almost puked. Sorr was fighting though. And from the looks of things he was winning. Though several of the droids didn’t seem to be putting up much of a fight. The last droid fell and Tiaza thought that her rescue had come to be.

Then a face appeared and told Rory they were ready. The old smuggler was obviously happy with that because he thought it was ok to put his hand on Tiaza’s thigh. The young Chiss forced her legs closed as tightly as possible and tried elbowing Rory on either side. But her arms weren’t long enough. “Hurry Sorr! He’s done with whatever was keeping him here.”​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

Rory placed his hand over Tiazas mouth smiling. “Shhh,” he whispered rubbing his cheek against her ear. “Calm down little lady, we don’t want to give this kid a glimmer of hope.” He placed Tiaza over his shoulder and began to carry her out of security room. “All right men!” Rory said. “Have my ship warmed and ready, we’re getting out of here as soon as possible!”

“Tiaza!” Sorr rushed towards the docking bay. He was almost there hopefully Sorr wasn’t too late. “I’m coming Tiaza! Just hold him off a little longer!”

Holding on wasn’t going to be a problem. Rory’s grip was quite tight and thankfully away from her rear at the moment. Her arms and legs started flailing about again as she was carried off. This treatment made her miss the comfort of Sorr’s arms even more than she had when he left her in the luxurious cabin aboard the ship.

A knee connected with Rory right at the solar plexus. Momentarily out of breath the smuggler slowed, but managed to keep Tiaza in his grasp. She reached out for anything she saw that might be able to keep Rory from moving forward. But she wasn’t quick enough, or Rory was too quick. “Hurry Sorr! I’m fighting as hard as I can. You can get this sleemo.”​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

Sorr continued to run through the streets getting closer towards the docking bay. Rory chuckled when Tiaza kneed him in the solar plexus. “I like a fighter,” he said smacking Tiazas bottom in retaliation. “So do the Hutts.”

Rory carried Tiaza towards his ship. Three men armed with Blaster Rifles stood at attention. “We’re all done sir!” One of them said. “Good!” Rory smiled. “Time we get out of this dump!”
