[A/N: just a note, remember Yelena's lightsaber is double-bladed, when she brings it out and ignites it just think of the double-bladed lightsaber of the temple guards in SW: Rebels. also remember she can split her double saber into two like Cal can in Fallen Order.]

Once they had reached close enough to the coordinates Cid had provided them, Hunter landed the Marauder a safe distance away and they grabbed what they needed before heading out. The group walked up to a cliff edge and Yelena could see the large Zygerrian ship before her gaze moved to the ruined buildings nearby with a fountain in the center. She could see figures of three people on the ground, but she couldn't see that far. "I have a visual," Tech announced while looking through his marcobinocular. "I only see one child." He informs them, Yelena pressing her lips together as she eyed the distance.

"Poor Muchi. She looks scared." Omega says with a frown.

"I'm clocking two dozen hostiles." Tech alerts them, Yelena quietly nodding. "Multiple entry points with minor fortification." He turns and tells Hunter, Yelena watching the distance cautiously.

"Simple smash and grab like that time on Kuat." Wrecker commented, Yelena's eyebrows furrowing and she looked to Hunter for an explanation. The man just shaking his head, she didn't want to know and they didn't have the time. "Easy enough."

"There's going to be a good amount of Zygerrian's, they won't risk losing their profit," Yelena speaks up, the woman letting out a deep sigh. "We cannot underestimate them, trust me. Anakin, Obi-Wan, Rex, the others, and I...we did and they proved to have more up their sleeves than we bargained for." She explains to them, Hunter nodding silently. She'd dealt with them before as a child and during the war, he wouldn't underestimate her advice. "However, since Dooku killed their Queen...I don't know how...organized they are. Might be weaker this time around." Yelena shrugged, Omega glancing at the older woman before turning to her and Hunter.

"I'm in. What are we waiting for?" Omega said determinedly, Hunter and Yelena exchanging a look. This time they both agreed and they could tell, there was no way in hell they were letting Omega around slavers. That was not happening. The young girl started to move and followed Wrecker, Tech, and Echo who started to leave but the jedi and sergeant quickly stopped her.

"You get back to the ship," Hunter ordered, pulling her back by her shoulder and forcing her to face him and Yelena.

"But-" Omega moved to protest.

"Omega, listen to Hunter. I will not have you near slavers." Yelena's voice firmly cut in, Omega staring at her in disbelief. Yelena would usually let it go and say she could go but...why wasn't she letting her this time? She was agreeing with Hunter.

"Yelena, but I want to-" Omega objected and Yelena gave her a stern look.

"That's an order." Hunter's tone was stern and he wasn't budging either.

"Listen to us, Omega. It's safer." Yelena nods and sides with Hunter again. The girl's gaze moved to Yelena and she sighed, Hunter and Yelena moving and walking past the girl.

"Yes, sir...yes, ma'am." Omega pouted in disappointment. Yelena looked at Hunter and shrugged before the two moved forward and headed after the other three. She would pout, she would complain, she'd object and protest, she was a kid. It was normal and they'd get used to it, though Omega would hate it.

Yelena takes a deep breath and places a hand on Hunter's shoulder, the man looking over at her. "She's a kid, she'll get used to the word no, trust me." Yelena tells Hunter quietly, amusement gracing her face and Hunter shook his head, his lips twitching beneath his helmet.

"I hope so," Hunter replied and Yelena chuckled lowly. The jedi and sergeant eventually caught up with the other three and they snuck their way through the ruins, getting as close as possible until they came to a halt behind a ruined building. Tech taking out his datapad on his wrist and attempting to listen in on the slaver's words.
