Tafful

A sudden knock on your door awoke you.

"We're landing in a minute. Come take your seat, kid." Greez's voice called from the other side of the door.

You groaned and sat up, rubbing the sleep from your eyes.

"I'll be out in a second." You called. You heard his footsteps fading away.

Your sleep had once again, been plagued by wretched nightmares. And even awake, the voices of the dead still echoed in your head.

With a deep sigh, you stood and left your room, moving to take your seat in the cockpit.

BD-1 leaped off the console and onto your lap with a gleeful chirp.

"Morning, BD." You smiled. Cal turned his head and smiled at you. You returned the smile, surprising yourself when you felt your cheeks heat up. You looked down at BD again, praying Cal wouldn't notice your blush.

BD began to scan your face, probably because he noticed the change in it's colour.

"Stop it!" You hissed, causing Cere to give you a strange look. Luckily, Cal didn't notice.

You internally cursed yourself for still feeling attraction towards the Cal. At least it was unintentional.

The mantis jumped out of hyperspace and flew down to Kashyyyk once again.

Once it had landed on the platform, you stood up, retrieved your lightsaber, and hooked it onto your belt.

You were grateful when no one stopped you. You did actually feel better now. You only got light headaches, but never anything severe.

Cal was waiting for you at the bottom of the ramp, BD-1 perched on his back, as usual.

"Ready to go?" He asked.

"Yep. Let's go find Tarfful." You said confidently, coming down the ramp to stand with Cal.

"Good luck out there, kids." Greez said, also standing outside the ramp to see you off.

"Thanks Greez. We'll be back soon." Cal said. BD booped and buzzed a quick farewell before you, Cal, and the little droid left, heading back towards the refinery, stopping in front of a wookiee and a rebel.

They gave you an addition to BD's holo-map, showing where to meet up with Tarfful. You thanked them and continued on your way towards the refinery.

Most of the route was unfamiliar to you, since the last time you'd been through the refinery, you'd gone through the ventilation system for the most part.

You encountered several troopers, security droids, and even some purge troopers. It was some fairly quick and simple battles, as it was much easier with two of you.

Having made it partially through the imperial building, BD-1's map lead you through a door to the outside, where you made it about thirty yards before coming across another annoying round of storm-troopers.

They were grouped together near a collapsed walker, that had clearly been broken a long time.

With a sigh, Cal turned to you.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Ready as ever." You grumbled, slowly creeping towards your firsr target.

Once you were close enough, you leaped forward, grabbed the trooper by the neck, activated your saber and pierced thw blade through his chest. You did it so quickly he didn't even get the chance to make a sound.

But unfortunately the disturbance had caught the attention of the other troopers. Some had blasters and others had electric batons.

They began firing at you and Cal. You were able to deflect most blasts back to those who delivered the shot, but the troopers with batons managed to encircle Cal and begin swinging at him, in which he had no choice but to desperately block the hits.
