Ch. 4.5 - Beginning of the End Pt. 2

BEGINNING OF THE END PART TWO!

"Where did she go?"

"The vents! She's in the vents!"

"Follow her!"

"The hole is too small!"

"Sound the alarm!"

The battleship's alarm system sounded almost instantly and its ringing echoed through Ryn's head. As she crawled through the vents, she could see below her the clone troopers rushing through the hallway. Her heart was still racing but at this point, she couldn't even feel her fingers from all the shaking.

She got to an opening where she could no longer see any troopers and dropped down to the ground. The sound from her feet hitting the ground caused a loud creak and Ryn's heart stopped. For a moment she just stood there listening for moving bodies near her, apart from the blaring alarm she couldn't sense anyone coming in her direction, at least for now.

To the side, she laid her eyes on the entrance to the maintenance tunnels and quickly dashed to the opening. She forced the metal door off its hinges and quickly climbed into the tunnel. It was much larger than the vents, so she was able to stand up. Before running again she was reminded of her master.

"Master Yoda," She thought "I need to talk to him"

The clones said that they had received orders, which meant that whatever was happening wasn't just happening to her.... It was happening everywhere.

As she ran the sounds of troopers chattering grew closer and she slowed down. She waited for them to pass. She tapped on her comm device, covering it with her hand to block the noises.

"Master?" She whispered "Master Yoda?"

The device let out a few beeps, but no voices were heard.

"Is anyone out there? Can anyone hear me?"

Nothing.

Ryn tapped her earpiece and shook the comm device.

"Come on" She whispered to herself

"This is Kel'Ryn Cyone, I'm with the 41st. My men turned on me and I headed straight into another battle. Is anyone out there?"

Ryn spoke with desperation in her voice "Please if anyone can hear me, respond!"

Static.

"R-"

A familiar voice broke through the static.

"Ryn-?"

Master Yoda's voice broke through and became clear. Ryn let out a gasp and smiled, she was so happy to hear his voice she could almost feel tears forming.

"Master Yoda!" Ryn spoke "Words can't describe how happy it makes me hear your voice"

"Rejoice later, we will," He said

"What's going on?"

"Betrayed, we have been" Yoda spoke "By our own men"

"So it's not just me.....how?"

"Know this I do not"

"Are you safe?"

"Saved by Senator Organa"

Bail Organa voice broke through the static

"Kel'Ryn?" He asked "Ryn?"

"I'm here"

"Send your coordinates, we can come to get you"

"I'm still on the ship, and we're traveling in hyperspace"
