An Adventure on Hoth

[Grimm]

Alex watched her aim the blaster, aim and shoot was the basic trick. Yet, there were more to it being taught...his father had taught him the art of shooting.

That was when he remembered something, the leader had his father's blaster. He was going to pay.

"No, we are going to get our saber's back. Then we will get out of here, do you want to lead the way?"

"Hey, this is your plan." she said when he asked if she'd lead. "No point in stopping here. Keep going."

She nudged him to go ahead of her since he was the one to obviously lead. Partly she wanted him to lead because, in all honesty, she didn't know what to do outside of just blasting out of here. Not a very solid plan. But there was a bigger problem of what the poachers could have waiting for them once they started making a break for it. Attack animals? Droids? Best for the Sith to be the one to see first.

Alex sighed at her response, maybe he should listen to her. So that was what he did and approached nearby crates. Using them to hide from the other smugglers, he hoped that she was following him. Looking over the edge of the crates, he saw two smugglers by a door that branched away from his room. Maybe it lead to the leaders lair, Alex decided that they would need to get pass the guards without sounding the alarms.

"We need to take them down quick, I will get them to come over here and you get rid of them."

He pulled one of his knives out of his pockets and hit a piece of metal together. Causing a loud humming sound to ring within the cave, two of the smuggler decided to come out and check out the source. Step, by step they approached with there blasters ready...if she needed help he would be there but she needs to learn to take care of herself.

Nasika nodded before sitting ready for when the poachers would come over. Careful she waited until they were close enough, just at the point of looking over the crates. She popped out and slammed the butt of her blaster into one's chin before firing at the other before he could react. Before the second one could recover she fired at him, taking him down. She looked down to Alex and indicated it was all clear and waited for the next step in his plan.

Alex watched her work down the smugglers, her takedowns need a little work. Yet, she was able to pull it off, as they would be able advance. Approaching the door it would seem that no other smuggler was here. It was strange, but maybe they had left the base to do something.

When they reached the door, it was open. Something was begining to look fishy, as they pushed on to the room. The end of the passage was a small, half the size of the room they were just in. In the middle of the room was a table with there equipment.

The scene was too easy, if they walked into the room. The door would slam shut and a wall opened up that sent out a raging woompa at the two. The equipment was shielded by a eletrical field, leaving the two fend for himselves with what they got.

"Damn it all"

Seeing it was a trap she looked to Alex and said "Please tell me you have a back up plan." right before the wompa appeared. She backed up before it charged and she jumped out of the way. As much as she didn't want to she knew it was too out of control to calm, at least for limited abilites with the force. As such she was forced to shoot at it from behind once she recovered, hoping to either scare it or weaken it enough for it to fall.

The creature didn't stop, it must have been starved to the point that it will kill whatever it sees for food. Despite her efforts, the laser wound had only made it angry, as it tried to grab at the girl's arm. Trying to throw her into the ground with so much force, it would feel like getting hit by a flying car at top speed. Alex on the other hand was trying to think, he knew that it wouldn't stop at nothing to kill them. So he had to find a way for them to survive, that was when he looked back at one of the items at his side.

"Nasika, try to get it to open it's mouth wide. QUICKLY!"

He said, hoping that she survived the brute power of the Wompa.

Nasika ducked away but was slapped to the side when it's other arm came around. She hit the wall nearby and slid down. As she recovered she heard Alex say to get it's mouth open. She looked up juast as the wompa raored and came at her. Quickly she held out her blaster and stuck it in-between the monster's jaws, keeping them open before she rolled away. While the wompa dealt with that she ran over to Alex, waiting to see what he had planned next.

Alex watched her get smacked around, before she had used her blaster to hold the mouth open. That was when he acted, grabbing the thermal grenade from his side.

He rushed up and actived the grenade. The red lights flashing, before it flew through the air. Hitting the back of the wompa throat, Alex then used his force push to place him by the field.

"GET DOWN!!"

Alex said as he rushed away. Yet, he couldn't get away from the entire raidus of the blast. Getting pushed into a nearby wall at full force, but the wompas blood, guts, and fur had spattered all over the room.

Alex laid on the ground, his eyes closed and limp. There was blood flowing from the back of his head, if it was lethal was hard to tell without checking.

[Nasika Serizawa]

Nasika covered herself with her arms as blood floowed out. It stained her clothes but that was the worst of it. She dropped her arms for a moment, relived it worked out, before seeing Alex on the ground. She gasped before running over and helping him to his front, laying his head on her lap. She moved her hand and could see there was blood on it. She told him to be still while she tried to think of something. Being she had no healing powers of her own force abilites she tore a peice of her clothing off from the hem and wrapped it around his head, trying to stop the bleeding.

"Easy. Easy. You'll be alright." She looked around for a moment before saying "We need to get out of here. We need another plan."

Alex felt his head spinning, the pain and the force of the explosion had affected him. He wanted to go away, but someone had kept him around. It was the jedi that he had been working with and using to get around this base. He didn't want to get himself hurt, but he acted heroic for a moment. What the hell was wrong with him, but he knew that he was always going to be varying on his side.

He didn't expect her to care about his well being, he felt her place his head on her lap. She was tending to him like he was child, the feeling was needed but he knew better than to allow it to affect him to much. When she wrapped his head with the make-shift bandage, the blood was starting to stop but doing to much would open the wounds again.

His eyes peeked out from there slumber, looking up at the girl.

"Thank you, but why are you helping me? I know we have to get out of here, but I'm still a problem for you right?"

He was already thinking of what to do with the electrical field, but only one idea came to mind.

[Nasika Serizawa]

"You can save any current hostilites for each other after we're safe and out of here." she said. "Now come on. We need to get out, find out things, deal with the paochers, and all while you've got a busted head. I'll admit.....we could be in worse shape."

With that she picked him up and put his arm over her shoulders until she had a good grip on him. It took her a minutes to get to her feet and pulling him up as well, she needing to take a breath at first just to gain enough of a boost. Once she had him Nasika began walking while supporting him.

Alex only nodded to her as she supported him up. It was a surprise to him that she would allow herself to help him. He only accepted it and steered her towards the electrical field. Looking at it, he would have a way to get there gear and it would only require him to do such a task.

"If we don't get our gear, we will be dead once we leave this room."

He calmed his mind down, allowing himself the time to use his emotions to use a ability of his. Soon a small spark of electric had erupted from his hand, soon enough he would place his hand on the side of the device that was producing the field. The shock had soon overcharged the system and caused it to short circuit out of control. Thinking to himself, he was able to produce a mini-version of force lightning but he was never able before.

"Lets gear up and get out of here....I can fight now."

[Nasika Serizawa]

Watching him use the force lighting Nasika looked both amazed and shocked. For an apprentice to be able to produce even a small spark was a great task, one that meant thta he may end up becoming a very powerful sith. As much as she didn't want to think on it she helped him reach where their things were before handing him what he needed. All she retrieved was her training saber that she kept in her free hand and set to a higher level than before. After that she waited until Alex was ready to proceed.

Everything went blank for him in that moment, he was happy, sad, confused, enlightened, strong, weak and an emotion that he couldn't make out. It was strange to him, but he moved on with such a skill. His hand was smoking abit from his first time production of his power but why now? When they had gotten there gear, he slumped off of her to give her a chance to move around freely.

Leading the way, towards the same passage they came from before. The bodies were still there, they weren't important as they left the area. It lead to another large room, this time it was the hanger bay that was filled with products. Furs, weapons and other misc stuff that people bought. It seems that they were also pirates, within the room there was only one speeder and the blast doors leading outside were open.

A snow storm outside seemed to take the place of the scenery, as the leader of the smugglers was looking at us. Him, with his six guards each with blasters in there arms. They were aimed at us, as the leader walked out to the front with frown on his face.

"You killed my men, my pet Wompa, and trying to leave our secret base. You are going to die here, and now. No, exceptions. Bye, Bye."

He said while pulling out his blaster, firing upon us like he just don't care. The smugglers soon followed, leaving us to duck behind nearby crates. They kept on firing upon us, but it was free game now on what the both of us should do to survive.

Nasika pushed Alex down behind the crate before suing her saber to block a few stray blasts. After that she ducked down herself and huddled next to him given what little cover they had. Looking out and recounting everything that was aviliable to them in the hanger bay and the amount of men they had to deal with, including the leader, it was going to be tough. Looking back to him she looked over his condition, trying to see if he was any worse or better, before sighing.

"Any more plans or do we just wing it now?" she asked him, her saber still in hand.

[Grimm]

Alex made a clinched face to the fast novements but was able to relax behind the crates. Laser fire ensued as Nasika blocked a few blaster shots.

He looked around and tried to think of something. Yet, he knew that he would have to fight.

"My plan is to wing it.So you better follow my lead."

He grabbed another grenade and threw it behind him. It wasn't explosive, instead it created a great flash that blinded many of the guards. Giving her a chance to deal with them.

"I'ii cover you."

Right as she saw him grab the gernade she preapred to leap out. Once he tossed it she was out, covering form the blast for a moment before stirking. She kicked the leader down and then went for three of his men. One blasted but she ducked, making him hit one of his own in the process. She then slid between his legs while holding the saber out to knock him off his feet. His leg would be number for a while to the point of almost being broken. Then she stood just as the other gaurd aimed his blaster. She turned as he fired, he just missing her, before she came in and smacked the training saber against his head, sending him down.

Alex moved from crate to crate, hiding from the battle while he inched closer to the speeder. Three of the guards had went for Nasika, while she was dealing with the others and the leader. He knew that he could get away if he left her...but instead of that outcome. He pulled out his dual blasters and shot two of the guards in the back. Causing them to slump down to the floor, yet the last one had a clear shot toward Nasika leg. Aiming for the shot, to slow her down while she had her back turned to him.

The leader had came back up from the kick, standing in front of her. Using his own blaster to hold her in place, so that the shot would work or if she decided to block that one. His would be able to pierce her through the chest, the one smuggler she reflected the shot at had been taken out. The other fell to the floor, knocked out and the third had a problem with his leg.

Alex was than receiving fire from the smuggler that had shot at Nasika, using his chance to pin him down. This was already getting out of hand, but he needed to help her out. Before she got cornered or worst.

Sensing the one aiming for her leg Nasika moved to the side before using the saber to hit blaster out of his hand and then kicked him in the face to keep him down. By the time she turned she saw the leader pointing at her. SHe only had s split second to react. She fell to the ground to avoid it but took the shot into the shoulder instead. It was the one attached to the arm holding her saber. She fell to the ground, her arm now useless as it was in severe pain from the shot. Nasika's saber fell to the ground and rolled far away from her to reach. She looked up at the leader, too afraid of what would come next.
