The Enhanced Trooper

Chapter XXXIII

ITS TIME.
It's time for our escape. It's time to change the course of the war between the First Order and the Resistance. It's time to do what I have been dreading since I had first learn who Leo really was.
     I sit up and throw my legs over my bed rubbing my eyes. I run our escape plan over in my head knowing Leo will be knocking on my door anytime soon.
   I quickly pull on my black stretchy pants with tons of pockets and holders for different objects. Next I pull on a tank top and zip up a black jack that is the same material as my pants. I walk over to my closet and braid my hair as I tug down my silver case. Opening it up I stare at my red armor.
   "You have served me well so far so don't stop now." I whisper to myself.
   I clip on the plates as I walk over to the mirror. I watch as I slide on my helmet. I am a storm trooper I follow Orders. I am a storm trooper and nothing more.
  I grab my cape and throw it over my shoulder. Then I walk into the closet and push away boxes to reveal a blaster that is 2 Times the regular blaster size. I sling it over my shoulder and grab the new swords I stole for the rack room and place them on my back. I also strap a couple smaller blasters to my belt. For the final test I grab a tiny dime size device. Phasma gave me it and Instructed that I place it behind my ear. It clips on to my skin as I press it to turn on. She told me that it is a tracking device but also a way to communicate. Try can talk to me through it but I just can't respond back. 
  I hear someone outside my room and I move quickly to open the door. I am met with Leo surprised with his wrist raise about to knock on the door.
  "How did you know I was here?" I walk past him as I reply.
"I am enhanced I can hear hear even a working screwing in of a screw 3 levels down from beneath us. And you are hold two fingers behind you back."
   "Wait. What? How?" Leo looks shocked as I motion him forward.
"I saw your fingers before you put it behind your back. Don't worry I don't have X-ray vision."
   I punch a code in as I straighten up. Leo walks in front of me as I follow pretending I am an escort for the doctor. I thought that Leo would be terrible at playing the role of being authoritative. But I am pleasantly surprised by how he has a stone face and walks with a determination that I admire.
    I keep my ear on alert knowing if anyone spots us it will be a lot less convincing for Leo. Phasma assigned her most trusted troopers on patrol tonight and she told them that if they saw us to let us pass.
   The escape is going to seem to easy but I hope Leo doesn't pick up on it.
Suddenly I hear loud foot steps walking along the hallway that intersect with our. I grab Leo's shirt and pull him against the wall. A couple seconds later a two troopers march past us and luckily don't see us.
"That was close." Leo whispers.
"Yeah a little too close. Let's hurry up." We stop trying to look as if we belong there as I lead the way. We jog as I scan the hallways motioning for him to come. We take the less traveled way to the hanger. Which also means it is the longer way. But we finally make it.
I stop us in a corridor close to the hanger. I tell Leo to wait as I inch my way to the corner. I take my helmet off as I reach into one of my pockets. I fish out a reflective piece of mirror I had "accidentally" broken two days ago.
I use little movement to not draw any attention as I position the mirror so I can see the hanger door.
"Dang it." I say under my breath as I slide the mirror back in my pick and put my helmet back on. I inch back to Leo.
"There are two guards on the hanger doors."
"What are we going to do?"Leo looks at me with huge eyes and I almost laugh because he thinks that our escape is ruined just because of two pathetic guards.
"Don't worry I will take care of it." I march over to the hanger.
"Sal stop! What are you doing. Stop." Leo whispers at me harshly but I know what I am doing.
I crouch low as I stay in the shadows. My red armor sticks out against the black hallway but if I move slowly they won't see me. When I get close enough I strike both troopers so fast that if you blinked you wouldn't have seen it.
I whisper yell for Leo to come.
When he comes in to view his eye go wide as he sees both troopers knocked out cold. I loon through their head and take anything of value.
"No time to explain legs just go." We slink into the hanger as scam for the ship we need to escape with.
I locate it as I point in the direction.
"Do you see that Lambda class T-4a shuttle? That is the one we are going in."
Leo nods his head as we take off in that direction. I don't bother to look around because I know for a fact the troopers won't be coming till after we get in the shuttle.
Yesterday Captain Phasma warning me that to make our escape more realistic she is going to send So groups in to shoot at our ship once we are loaded. Of course there shots won't be damaging but it will be enough to convince him.
The ramp doors open as I walk in stepping light on my feet and I cringe as Leo's heavy foot steps follow me. I let him walk past me. I press the button as the ramp door closes. I watch as I notice something white move behind a box. I frown as I meet Leo in the control dock. I sit down as Leo is already flipping switches. The ship lights up with a buzz I feel the engines kick in.
I brace myself for the first sound of a blaster shot. I grab the steering wheel when suddenly we are ambushed with bullets.
They ping off our ship as the nose Echos off the walls.
"Leo quick get us out of here! We don't have any guns on this ship!"
I frantically start to flip switches as I feel the ship lift off the ground.
Suddenly the shuttle rocks to the side as a huge explosion hits out tail. That was not planned.
Not all of the trooper must know that we are actually supposed to escape alive.
I feel the ship gather energy when a sickly feeling comes over me. I whip my head in Leo's direction.
"Leo what are you doing?"
I see a smirk spread across his face and I begin to grow nervous.
"We are jumping to light speed inside." I watch in horror as he grabs the lever and pulls down.
"What have you done!" I panic not understanding why he would do something so stupid as to jump toe light speed now. Suddenly the image of the outside world begins to smear as little lights start to form. The ship lurches forward as the little lights turn into blue streaks. My body slams against the chair as I grip the arm rest for dear life.
When we don't die I turn my head back towards Leo. My face is a ghostly white as I try to speak but it comes out in stutters.
"Sometimes you just got to o with your gut. Even if you got a bad feeling about it."

VOTE AND COMMENT!!
Why do people have to be so ignorant to your hard work? Sometimes I hate soccer. I mean I work so hard in practice and then coach ignores me the whole game. Its so frustrating. (The gif above totally explains how I feel)
Sorry about my ranting I just really need to blow off some steam.
