The Rising

Crashed

Kix had to resist the urge to break down the hanger door in front of him. 

they had only moments ago arrived at the underwater base, and strangely enough, no one had noticed their approach. 

"Why can't we leave!!" Kix hissed at Tech, who was doing his best to stand his ground against the pissed-off clone in front of him. 

"First off there is only water and high pressure out there, second...I still don't know how or why they haven't shot us out of the sky" Tech responded as bravely as he could. 

Nia who was right behind him winced slightly as Kix's glair shifted to her for a second before reverting to Tech, his mind firmly made upon leaving. 

Wreaker who was watching from the sidelines with Ria, who was slightly shaking from fear and was firmly wrapped in a blanket as Wreaker kept an arm ar her waist firmly pulled to his side. 

"Open. The. Door"

"No" Tech's voice was slightly shaking but his posture did not  

Kix opened his mouth to speak again when Hunter cut him off. 

"Open the door Tech we've landed inside the hanger"

The moment he said that all eyes were on him, including the droid. 

"what?" Tech asked disbelief clear in his voice as he stared in shock at his leader. 

"We have landed in their hanger......Open the door......or do you want me to do it?" Hunter asked as he walked past the shell shocked Wreaker and Ria and over to the controls for the ship's door. 

Tech, who was the first to revive from shock, spoke with a slight squeak in his voice "You did what? Why... Just Why would you do that?".

Hunter stopped dead in his tracks before he glared at Tech the nodded his head towards Nia. 

Tech shut up almost immediately understanding what he was saying at that moment. 

'You would do the same for her'. 

Hunter on the other hand turned back to the door and grabbed the bag and gun that he had placed next to it earlier in the trip. Kix, who didn't need to be told at all, quickly grabbed his blaster from the mess table and join Hunter as the door slowly opened. 

The hanger itself was dark and quiet, almost as if they had landed on the wrong planet. and for a moment Kix entertained this possibility, that was of course before he heard the loud and familiar clanking of droids in the distance.

Hunter and Kix stopped dead in their tracks. 

As did Tech and Wreaker who had reluctantly joined their team after forbidding the girls from leaving the ship. 

"Are they coming towards us?" Tech asked slightly confused. 

"No.....it sounds like they are moving away from us" Hunter replied as he craned his neck to try and hear what was going on. 

"what....that doesn't make any sense" Kix muttered. 

"wait...I hear....oh my god...I hear them" Hunter said his voice lifting happily as he opened his eyes and began running towards the back of the hanger. 

"What...Wait hear who?" Wreaker asked as Kix ran after Hunter.

"Here we go again" Tech muttered under his breath as he and Wreaker ran after the two half-crazed clones. 

Hunter, who was in front quickly entered the hallway his head snapping from side to side as he did. 

"I.....I don't understand....." he muttered under his breath.
