Enkindle: Rescue Mission

The tracer led them on a path littered with bodies. Someone had already been through here and left a whole lot of stormtroopers down in their path. Only occasionally did they see a downed rebel. Once they'd gotten to the ninth floor, they became leery of their approach. While the fighting still raged on below, here it was quiet. Too quiet.

Far ahead, in a blasted in office of some sort, they could hear arguing, like an officer to their subordinate. As they neared, they could see a female, mid-rank, attending to another female of a lower rank while a stern faced man stood over them and argued over how devastating the injured officer was or wasn't on the ground. Then they saw Ulaan. The higher ranking man seemed to almost sense them coming and opened fire from a blaster pistol they hadn't even been able to tell he carried.

Within moments, sentry droids had blasted through the window, hovering in the air outside and laid down fire on them.

"Get Ulaan out of here!" Niko yelled and jumped into the middle of things, laying down heavy blaster fire on the sentry droids out the window. He was able to take out the sentry droids but saw more coming their way. He managed to shoot the blaster out of the head guy's hands.

Niko grabbed Inna and kissed her. She tasted better than he'd even imagined she would. Then he fished out the last item in his sack.... a thermal detonator. "Aegon... get them out of here... no questions... MOVE!"

He turned to the three imperials, sentry droids landing in the room through the window, "Now...," he said triggering the device, "you're gonna let my colleagues here go or we all end up painting the walls with our blood!"
