The Rising

Escape

Lil breathed hard as she ran through the corridors. 

She had no clue where she was going but all she did know was that she had to escape. 

Her feet soon carried her to a weapons stockroom, with its large shelves and high walls it seemed a good place as any for her to take a moment to breathe or at least calm down. 

Lil looked behind her as she walked farther into the room, only stopping when she was in the very back of the room. 

Her eyes caught sight of not only a blaster she could use but of clothes, she could change into, though her nose scrunched slightly when she realized they were the robes of a sith follower she still changed into them as fast as she could. 

As she changed she mentally thanked her father for his insisting she wear Jedi robes not only when he was with them, but for all of her training needs. 

The moment she finished tieing the last piece of her robe the alarm blaired almost making her cover her ears before she hid into the shadow of one of the shelfs. 

Her instincts to hide where dead on as at least half a dozen droids filed into the room to grab weapon refils before hastily running out of the room. Lil's heart was beating harshly as she slowly poked her head out of her hiding spot, her head was suficiently covered so her hair was well hidden as well as most of her face and as she stepped out further she felt less worried about being captured. 

That confidence only grew when a stragler droid came rushing into the room, "Comander, appologies for bing late, there is an escaped prisoner on the compound." the droid said in its elcectronic voice. 

At first Lil was unsure how to respond before an idea poped into her head "Yes i have heard. get to your squad imediatly and search the rest of the sector. We cant afford for the jedi welp to escape our clutches" Lil responded in a deep gravely voice that surprised even her. 

"Yes Comander" the droid confirmed before departing quickly. 

Lil let out a terified breath before another idea popped into her head.

Infact an extreamly clever idea poped into her head. 

If she could get some intel for the new republic or even better sabatoge the base then she could at least deal a sevear blow before hightailing it for a safe planet. 

Lil smiled slightly to herself almost proudly as she walked outside of the storage room, scilently thankfull of the siths love of clueless droids. 

She walked corridor after corridor and past hundreds of searching droids before she finaly spotted something worth searching for. It was a simple lab, but it was empty and the computers where all on. 

Lil smiled to herself under the face covering before making a b-line for the open door. 

The moment she was fully in the room she heard a screaming female voice from down the hallway she had just exited. 

"let me go!!!" 

Lil looked around the room before diving behind a screen seperator and held her breath before she heard the screaming and scuffles enter the lab. 

"Let me go you tin faced jerk!!" 

"sedate the subject"

"Get off me!!" 

Lil looked around her hiding spot before finding a discarded blaster tucked under a rolling tray before grabbing it an preparing to jum the people holding the screaming girl. 

Crrrrrrrrrrrzh. 

Lil stopped dead in her tracks, slightly confused by the sound she had just heard. it sounded almost like a ship hitting the gound but smaller some how, confused and curious she popped her head out of her hiding spot. 

There was a woman with red hair wearing a patient dress struggling to free her arm from a lump of metal that had the same colors as the droids Lil had seen earlier. Five lumps in total where scatered around the room, two battle droids and three medic droids. 

"are you ok?" Lil asked causing the woman to jump and squeak slightly as she did. 

"Who are you?" the woman asked her voice full of fear as she tried even harder to free herself hiding her face as she did. 

"My name is Lil, you dont have to be afraid" Lil said before realizing her wardrobe change and quickly uncovered her face. 

"your not with them?" The woman asked her head turning slightly that Lil was able to finaly spot her full face. 

"Your a Miraluka" Lil whispered, the woman nodded before she began to tug again at her traped hand. 

"do you need help?' Lil asked as she stepped forward trying to be nonthreatining as she did. 

"yea" the woman replied softly making Lil slightly before bending down and looked at the problem, her hand was traped alright. the droid that had been crushed still had a metal hand wrapped around her wrist and thankfully had not broken it. 

"ok this is a easy fix" Lil said smiling encuragingly to her new froiend before holding out her hand and using the force to pry the fingers of the droid back. bit by bit she was able to free the red head who hastily pulled her wrist to her chest and rubbed it gently. 

"My name is Damali, its nice to meat you Lil" Damali replied as she hastily looked back at the door she had come through. 

"Where are we?" Damali asked terified before Lil grabbed her upper arm shaking her head, telling her to be quiet. 

There was clanking in the hallway outside. 

"droids" Lil whispered before pulling Damali behind the screen Lil had hidden behind previously. 

Damali looked at Lil confused before the door to the lab opened again. 

"the prisoner has escaped"

"thats the second one today"

"we have to find them before the general finds out"

"tighten security, keep watch on all the hangers and the comunications bay"

Lil and Damali's eyes met and they came to a scilent understanding. 

They had to work together in order to get out. 

And from what they have just heard that might not be easy.
