On The Run

Fleeing Starkiller

What? He was just telling me that I did a good job on training the Stormtroopers and now he wants me executed? I have to somehow escape from this. Even if I tried, I would still die. These stormtroopers don't look like a problem, even though they're the ones who are about to execute me. I still have my blaster. If I try to run, Snoke would pull me back in a second with the Force and just kill me. The praetorian guards aren't a problem, I could outrun them. But one more problem stands in my way. Phasma. She stands high above me, right next to me, she could chase me down and kill me. What choice do I even have? I'm about to get executed anyway, I might as well try to live for a little longer.

"Yes, Supreme Leader." The stormtroopers all answer as they do the same thing I taught them earlier today. They line up and get ready to fire. "On your signal trooper!" one calls out. I stand there and brace. 4 shots are fired, 4 bodies drop. I shot the stormtroopers, they are all dead. The moment that happens Phasma grabs her staff from her back and kicks me to the ground. She brings it over her head getting ready to strike and impale me. I take 2 quick shots at her completely forgetting that her armor is bulletproof, they bounce straight off of her and nail a praetorian guard in the stomach killing him instantly. The other shot bangs Snoke right in the shoulder, temporarily slowing him down. Phasmas deadly blow spikes right through the ground as I roll over to dodge it, I take 3 more shots, 2 shots miss and 1 blast a guard's helmet off. Damn.

"You have made a mistake officer, now you shall die in an even worse way than a petty firing squad! Guards, take this fool out!" Phasma demands angrily. The Supreme Leader is just watching and smiling. 7 guards circle me all around, this seems to be the end. They all have years of non-stop training, they outnumber me. I go to fire as many shots as I can before they strike me down. Before I can get a shot off, Phasma hits the blaster out of my hand with her staff. "This isn't a fight officer. You don't get to defend yourself, this is an execution." Captain Phasma says, staring me down. Not a fight huh? We'll see about that.

All 9 of the guards that circle me are getting closer each second, about to deliver the strike that kills me. Luckily, I'm only 5 foot 3 so I could slide under the 6 '6 praetorian's legs. I snatch twin vibro arbir blades just sitting there and stand up to get ready to fight.

One guard charges at me with an electro-chain whip, he swings to my right shoulder and I jerk the blade sideways to block it. He does the same swing to my other shoulder which results in another easy block. I turn the blade sideways to pike him in the chest but he quickly swings his whip knocking the blade out of my hand. He grips his whip together and brings it over his head to deliver the killing slash. I quickly dive to get my blade back, spin it around my hand and stand back up. I bring the blade over my head and strike down on him. The guard grabs his whip together and blocks my strike which staggers me a bit so he can get a clean hit on my shoulder as I let out a groan, drop the blade and collapse to the ground.

I lie there as the guard once again gets ready to kill me. I'm weak from the impact of the whip, I can barely move my shoulder. I grasp the blade and angle it to face the guard. He has the whip over his head ready to deliver the killing blow, but I completely forget about that and just focus on the blade. I throw the blade with all my strength right at the guard. It sores through the air and goes right through the guard's chest. He lets out a groan before collapsing onto his knees and falling backward onto his back, he lets go of his weapon as it lies in his palm, he's dead.

I run to try and pull the blade out of his stomach so I can continue fighting, but the other 6 guards all surround me making it impossible for me to grab the blade.

"Hold up. This girl can fight, I have to give it to her, I'm impressed, I've decided to give her a chance to survive, Captain Phasma, give this "officer" her blaster." Snoke demands. Seriously? Just a blaster? My only chance to survive is to run.
