"Chopper warn me if you see anyone we know." Ezra told the droid, coldly.

Chopper beeped confusion.

"You don't want me to kill them do you?"

Chopper whooped.

"Then just tell me, all their thoughts are the same, it would take to much concentration to pick them out and I don't have the time for that." Ezra answered, reinforcements began to pour into the room. "Did you get the medic droid up yet?"

Chopper beeped a yes and soon the medic droid whirled to life.

"You know what you have to do so do it." Ezra ordered and Chopper knew better not to sass him unless the droid wanted to end up in two pieces.

Blast shots began to ring out in the room, by the sound Ezra knew their blasters where set to stun, too bad his lightsaber wasn't.

"Forgive me, Sabine." He muttered to the girl who was no where near the tragedy that was about to happen. He stabbed his lightsaber into the nearest person's chest, quickly pulling it out to block the next stun shot. The life drained away from the man and an animal-like instinct took over as more troops began to fall.

"Where's Thrawn?" Darth Vader asked the nervous man in front of him. His eyes were twitching and Vader could sense his fear.

"He's a bit undisposed at the moment." He apologized and gulped, not wanting to be force choked.

"Then maybe you can explain the current situation." Vader asked and walked deeper into the base the man, struggling to keep up. He was frantically trying to think of an explanation. The two were alone, walking down the oddly empty hallway. Vader's breathing echoing along the walls. He sensed something dark was overcoming the base, people were dying by the dozens, and it was refreshing.

Chopper beeped worried concerns as he saw more people fall dead. The medic droid was now reprogramed, up, and working.

"Don't tell me how to do this." Ezra snapped at the orange droid, cutting blasters out of the troops hands.

The droid beeped quietly as the medic droid continued to work on Thrawn.

"What was that?!"

Beep whoop.

"Better of been nothing."

Beep! Beep!

"I don't care about Jessica and Circuits they can have the same fate as everyone else here."

Beep.

"I'm not going to regret it, now you shut up!"

Beep, boop!

What's a few lives when you can save the galaxy from Thrawn?

"I'll shut you up myself." Ezra yelled and powered down the droid using the force. "They all need to die."

Though victory my chains are broken. The force shall set me free.

Sabine came running into the hanger bay. "Hera?"

"Sabine!" Hera answered back relieved. "You're ok."

"We should get out of here." Sabine said and grabbed Hera's arm, eyeing the nearest shuttle.

"What about Tekara?" Hera asked, concerned.

"I got word Vader just landed with a back up of stormtroopers. Those monsters can deal with their own problems."
