As Daella rushed down the hall, she came across a group of four pirates in fortified positions. The largest was a Wookiee clad in heavy armor with a bowcaster. Another was a Duro with a blaster rifle. The two other pirates were human scoundrels with blaster pistols.
Just as the pirates began to rain fire upon the Padawa, Daella ducked behind a column that managed to shield her from their fire.
Knight Re'dsh'irt eventually turned down the same corner and found himself in danger as well. He ignited his blue lightsaber and managed to deflect several bolts. He noticed Daella behind the pillar and sought to reach her.
Using his skills, Re'dsh'irt managed to deflect one blast back to the pirates. He struck one of the two human pirates – ultimately killing him. Enraged, the Wookiee emerged from behind cover and charged for the Knight.
Re'dsh'irt continued to press on. Having been told to protect Daella, he resolved to do so to his last breath.
In an almost panicked voice, Re'dsh'irt yelled out to Daella, “Run! Go back to Master Syn!”
Before Daella could act, the Wookiee was already upon Re'dsh'irt. The Knight was then in a dilemma: he could either run or take a swing at the Wookiee. Flee would jeapordize Daella while attacking the Wookiee would open himself to be killed by incoming blaster fire.
Resolving to fulfill his duty, Re'dsh'irt stabbed the Wookiee in the lower abdomen. The Wookiee roared and stumbled back. Death would not have been instantaneous, but the Wookiee would have been inhibited from pursuing Daella.
A blaster bolt from the Duro then struck Re'dsh'irt in the torso. His lightsaber deactivated and fell to the ground. After dropping to his knees, Re'dsh'irt turned back to see Daella still by the column. Her eyes were wide – filled with shock.
With a gentle smile, Re'dsh'irt tossed his lightsaber back to Daella.
“Go,” he said to her in almost a whisper.
Then, he was silenced by one more shot from the Duro – this time to the head.
The hall remained quiet for several seconds. Daella peered from the column to see Re'dsh'irt's body. Her usually stoic face was disturbed only by her broadened eyes.
“I'm sorry,” she muttered under her breath.
Resolving to act against Re'dsh'irt's wishes, Daella deactivated her training saber and snapped it to her magnetic clip on her belt. Her eyes narrowed on the Re'dsh'irt's lightsaber on the ground just a meter from her. Then, Daella rolled toward it.
Without hesitation, the pirates began to spew a barrage of fire on Daella. The Padawan managed to recover the lightsber in less than a second and ignite it just before the first bolts touched her. She hurriedly deflected the blasts to the side.
Still alive, the Wookiee began to stir once more. The wound to his stomach inhibited him from moving much, yet he got back up on his feet and lunged toward Daella.
Now armed with a lethal weapon, Daella quickly disposed of the Wookiee. She ducked under his massive arms. The pirates ceased to shoot their blasters as one of their comrades stood in the line of fire.
Gripping the lightsaber with both hands, Daella swung the lightsaber horizontally across the Wookiee's chest. The armor gave way to the plasma blade. The Wookiee died at that instance. Daella then rushed out from under the Wookiee before its body could fall on top of her small body.
In a frenzy, the pirates flooded the hallway with blaster fire. Moving toward them while also just barely deflecting blaster bolts heading toward her, Daella rushed toward the pirates without a scratch. She hugged the wall to her left side.
Once she was several meters from the pirates, Daella stepped on the wall with her left foot for a second. Pushing off of it, this propelled her up into the air. The confused pirates were unable to follow her as she tumbled above them and landed just behind them.
Standing next to the last human pirate, Daella slashed the lightsaber across to behead him. Her face remained still as stone.
Sparing no time, Daella then dashed at the sole surviving pirate – the Duro that killed Re'dsh'irt. In a flash, she plunged the lightsaber into his check before he could point his blaster rifle at her.
Once the Duro dropped to the floor dead, Daella turned back to the Knight clad in red. After several seconds, she turned away and continued down the hall – sure to meet back up with @[member="Syn"] and @[member="Iella E`ron"].
