Flight Of The Phoenix

Liden merely smiled. "Very well then... There is no emotion... there is peace..." She looked into Serenity's eyes. "You do know The Jedi Code do you not?"

The first of the Death Squad came around the corner adorned in red and black stormtrooper armor. Seeing Ryze and Jin the trooper glared at Ryze. "Don't bother running, prisoner... You won't escape..."

Mar saw the hangar with the ship and smirked. Mandalore's ship was an impressive-looking freighter converted with a number of weapons and reinforced plating. The ship had five guards around it, and the hangar had a large number of Mandalorians and mercenaries inside. Stealing this ship was gonna take some doing.

"So that's Mandalore's Cerulean Phoenix?" Mira smirked. "Looks roomy." She nudged Mar. "So how're we doing this?"

Mar looked to Thrass. "I'm gonna swipe one of those small star hoppers, and while they're trying to chase me down you can swipe the Phoenix and get everyone out of here. I've got to do something. We'll rendezvous on Hoth like we discussed." He then looked to Keran. "You look after them, okay?"

Keran nodded. "May The Force be with you, Mar Leto."

Mar was about to leave when Mira seized his collar. "Hey, we'll find her..."

Mar nodded. "I know you will."

Then she kissed him, surprising him. "You be safe. Okay?"

KC-8 beeped coyly.

"I... yeah... okay." Mar blinked and looked to the star hopper he intended to steal from the hapless merc who was refueling it as he made his way across the hangar. "Hey, thanks, I'll be taking this now." Mar said casually as he gripped the merc with the force and tossed him across the hangar into a group of Mandalorians.

Keran watched from Mira's shoulder. "Quite the distraction indeed."

Mar was already firing wildly at the mercs and Mandalorians who started to address his presence. He hopped into the cockpit of the hopper and started it up. The engines roared to life and he immediately put up the deflector shields.

"Come on!" Mira said as she dashed across the hangar towards the Phoenix. "Now's our chance!"
