The gun ship swerved back and forth through the warm night air, with the clone trooper that piloted doing his absolute best to avoid the oncoming traffic of the Coruscant highway lane.
501st soldiers in the swerving shuttle gripped the handles at the top of the vessel tightly in order to keep their balance. Civilians in speeders whizzed by, cursing in anger as the ship flew rather recklessly through the skyscrapers— opposite traffic.
"General, how do we know we're going in the right direction?"
She was on one knee at the edge of the open gun ship door, staring down below at the twinkling streets. Her hand braced the wall, and her other rested casually on her bent knee as her state remained focused. They were at the center of the highway lane with passing transport vessels above and below them. Silver towers rose up at their sides, creating an urban labyrinth for them to navigate.
"You'll know, Rex," she said over her shoulder. Loose strands of her dark hair blew in front of her eyes. The Captain stood at her back with Fives, both jostling with the swerving of the ship. "Just give it a second." her voice faded.
In a flash, as the gun ship veered left, the image of a green, open-roofed speeder appeared in her mind. A masked figure was driving with a whimpering, struggling captive in the back.
That was it.
The force had shown her. She balled up her fist and opened her eyes, knowing exactly what needed to be done. She stood up from her position, pulling a hair-tie off from her wrist and wrapping her black hair into a ponytail.
"What's the plan?" Rex questioned again.
"Meet me on the ground." she tossed her hair down her back.
"Sir?" Fives asked in a confused tone.
Without another word, she stepped from the floor of the gunship and plummeted head first towards the lights. Her body avoided numerous civilian speeders, with the target green open-roofed speeder coming into her view.
Fives stood next to Rex as they witnessed the Jedi free fall into the city below. At this point, they wasn't surprised anymore by her unorthodox tactics.
"That was awesome." he chuckled to Rex. The Captain groaned behind his blue and white helmet at the naive tone in his voice.
Dakota used the force and landed lightly on the back of the open speeder. The terrified senator was curled up in the corner by the passenger seats, cowering as the bounty hunter recklessly drove the hijacked republic transport.
