No Fear

Mar fired the star hopper's blasters before turning and taking off out of the hangar, a number of ships were already in pursuit. Mar sent the hopper into evasive maneuvers, dodging blaster fire and weaving through buildings to keep his pursuers from firing on him. Once he gained enough distance between them and him he took off for the stars, quickly jumping to hyperspace.

KC beeped in confirmation that they were on their way to Ilum, then issues a message over the ship's console asking Mar why they were abandoning KC's new friends, making particular note of VT whom she referred to as "the funny one."

"We aren't abandoning them. I just have to do something before I can go back... I have to do this... for Serenity..."

More of the Mandalorians started to turn their attention on the Cerulean Phoenix.

Liden rolled her eyes. "This poor creature is not something to be feared, trooper." Then she looked to Serenity. "My dear, what would it take for you trust me? You are afraid, and I understand why, I have given you every reason to hate and fear me. How can I work with you to rectify it?"

The Death Trooper raised his rifle. "Oh we have no intention of killing him..." He fired, an electric arc discharging from the rifle and flying towards Ryze. "We know his weaknesses..."
