Alora ducked the swing of a wicked looking halberd, then swept off the droid arm that held it before swirling and deflecting a blaster bolt.

-Well, this has got to be one of more honest receptions we've gotten,- she mused, watching as another bolt went through the edge of her swirling robe. -They didn't even pretend to be glad to see us. Master! Protect her! ...Thank You.-

She clenched her teeth as Tiji turned just in time to meet the droid that had intended to attack her from behind, then whirled with a slight creak of armor to meet her own next opponent.

Alora smiled down at the child in her arms, then winced and held him close against the torrent of vituperation that the old one hurled at Carth. Others of the former hostages frowned at the old one and murmured angrily.

He growled and took out a small device, shooting the old man with it, who fell limp at once.

"He'll be alright, he's just unconscious," he said darkly, so to not cause any more tension. Then he sighed and looked around.

"Alright, anybody who can walk and carry somebody, please do. Otherwise ask for assistance and somebody will help. We're going down two levels and to the ports, where we'll have a ship with food, sleeping space, and medicle attention for anybody who needs it," he said, sliding back into the role of Admiral.

Alora handed the little guy to his brother, then pulled out her saber and activated one end so that she could cut through the wall and make a passage to the closed and safer corridor.

The room on the other side held an occupant, who fired and then hit the deck to avoid the refracted shot. He wore no armor, but instead was swathed in a rather gaudy uniform.

"Garrom!" Alora's eyes narrowed as she realized that she was looking at the renegade Republic Admiral who had been trying to set himself up as king here.

Carth wheeled around, eyes flashing with anger.

"Wait, Alora, that trash it mine!" he growled, then charged forward with blasters in his hands and murder in his eyes.

"They want him alive," she reminded him as she put an arm around the boys and quickly moved them back to the rest of the hostages.

Something moved in the hole she'd cut from the main corridor, and she was there in two leaps, lightsaber once more singing to life.

Carth ran in, rolling out of the way of a blaster bolt and firing off two round, satisfied to hear the man scream as they ripped through his side and shoulder.

Walking forward Carth kicked the blasters out of Gorrum's hands, then quickly put his boot on the man's throat to stem the anguished stream of curses.

"Rad Gorrum, you are under arrest by order of the Galactic Republic," he said, guiltily satisfied as he took out the taser once more and zapped him. "And soon you'll be rotting where you belong. Zaalbar, bring the ropes."

It was another of the big booby-trapped droid tanks. Alora scowled, then barked over her shoulder as she engaged the thing. "OUT! That way! NOW!"

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

"Everyone out this way!" Carth barked. "If you're strong enough grab someone who can't walk!"

Alora didn't hear him, all her focus was on her Master and the danger before her as she deflected the droid's shots and dodged its blows without inflicting the critical damage that would cause it to self destruct.

The twelve year old looked around, then shifted his brother to his back and grabbed a little girl. "What're you waiting for? Let's go!"

All three children were herded by a gigantic wookie, who was roaring and grabbing people who couldn't go on thier own. Carth helped them through the wall, then pushed Zaalbar out.

"Lead them back to the ship," he said, then looked back. "Alora, they're gone! Get out of there, now!"

Another massive furry form entered the room where Gorrum had been holed up. The Togorian man and his wife had returned to render what aid they could. Soon those who'd been too large for the other humans to move easily were being scooped up and carried in strong arms.

Alora winced and deflected a shot. "It's trying to get to Gorrum. Check him for some kind of beacon. We don't need more droids attacking the prisoners."

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

Carth did a quick check, but finding nothing he shook his head.

"Go with the Togorian's," he said, straightening with a scowl. "Get out of here, Alora, help the prisoners. I'll get Gorrum back to the ship."
