USH'S GAME EPISODE I- "AVALAR"- Light Side (Lance Windu, Gundark, Phinney)

Lance comes up with an idea. He decides to cover for Yerssot and deflect the bolts that are coming towards them.

"Yerssot get behind me I'll cover while we head to the ship."

Yerss,"Got it"

As they head off Lance once again feels the injury in his leg.

"This might be slow going but I have confidene in myself that we can make it."

Ok, yerss and Lance are carefully making their way over to the ship- so long as you don't try and run your injuries will not be a problem.

Of course, you two are picking up heavier fire now they know where you are going!

However, FM is going with you guys to deflect some of the fire.

Your move, Gundy!

As the three Jedi advance towards FM's ship they start chanting the Jedi code. It helps them stay away from the thin line between the light and dark. Once they start the code they slip into a better understanding of the Force.

"There is no emotion - there is peace
There is no ignorance - there is knowledge
There is no passion - there is serenity
There is no death - there is the Force"

"There is no emotion - there is peace
There is no ignorance - there is knowledge
There is no passion - there is serenity
There is no death - there is the Force"

With this Lance can feel even more of the bolts sizziling towards his saber. All of a sudden Lance feels a new bolt coming close to Yerssot's face. Lance pick's it off when it was about one meter from impact.

Lance,"Hey, Yerss. You owe me know" After saying that Lance starts to chukkle lightly.

"Friend Lance, I thought you liked some danger" Yerssot grinned.

"But I appreciate that you deflected the bolt when it was one meter away... I thought you were going to take it down when it was 30 centimeters away"
Yerssot teased.

When they came near the ship and the young knight got cover, he took down the pannel and started pushing buttons

Gundark swung her sabre as she followed the young Jedi toward what was now their only escape. Blaster bolts were deflected in every direction and she urged her companions on as fast as their injuries would allow.

"Just a few seconds more!" Yerssot yelled.

A bolt got deflected just in time.
"If you do this all the time, I will have a lifedebt with you, friend Lance" The young knight joked.

The door of the ship opened.

The first thing Yerssot did was run on board and getting the shields and weapons online.
This was done very fast, and he started to shoot at the guards

Morpheus throws you a small pad, yerss.

"This has got the override codes that will let you fly the ship," he says.

He leaves the ship again.

As she watched yerssot plug the small decoder into the console, Gundark heard the ships engines spring to life. "Shields up," she said, touching a series of levers. "Lets get out of here."

(I am assuming that Phinney scrambles aboard just in time).

The ship rumbles as the power feeds in all around, and you start to lift off the ground. There is a loud THUMP as something heavy crashes into the port shields- they are bring heavy firepower to bear! But the shields are holding as you start to drift out of the hangar...

Yerss, you see Morpheus clearing a path through many of the incoming piratrs, disabling their heavy cannon they were setting up. Then he disppears back into the base.

"We are going to have to make our escapes better. These last few times were just too close." Lance exclaims after he shuts down his sabre and straps himself into his crash webbing.

Noting that Lance and phinney were strapped in their seats, Gundark turned back to the console. She briefly touched the back of yerssot's hand where it gripped the throttle. "Stay calm, young Knight," she told him. "The Force will guide you." She secured herself in the co-pilot seat and turned to the navicomputer.

(crap, I wanted to post this sooner!)

"But ... but master Gundark! We can't leave master Morpheus here! We have to get back!"

"There's no going back for him now, yerssot," Gundark told him firmly. He's endangered himself in order for us to escape." She looked him in the eye. "His sacrifice would be in vain. Do you understand ?"

A tear rolls down on the young knights cheak.

"I respect you, master Gundark, but still I don't get it WHY this all happened"

Note- in about two minutes you will reach the pirate blockade. Virtually the entire pirate fleet has scrambled over the last hour. No battlecruisers of course- not their style- but hordes of fighters and corvettes.

In any sector in which you want to break through, there are at least a dozen fighters and several larger ships.

I'll need a plan from you guys now (but don't start any fighting yet because there is one more development to happen)

Gundark, your communicator light buzzes. It is Morpheus.

"Kellan..." comes a pained voice. You can hear a lightsabre hum in the background. Then you hear Kuylen's voice.

"Not good enough," he says. Then the communicator goes out, and you feel a wave of pain from the passing of Morpheus.

"Noooooooo!" Lance screams out. He starts to tear up. "Why did he have to do that?"

"It's ok Friend Lance. He is one with the Force now." Yerssot points out. Lance notices that he has tears streaming down his face also.

"We wil get through this, young Jedi. We will do it together. We all felt his passing, but we mustn't let it slow us down. We will mourn once this is all through." Master Gundark tells Lance, reassuring him.

Your ship is currently doing brisk circles of the area around the settlement, as to rise into orbit before you have a plan could be suicide, and grief is rather slowing your actions right now.

However, this means that one of you (probably yerss who seems to be scanners person) detects the launch of three ships from the very top of the volcano.

It tore at Gundark to put Morpheus' pain aside, but if she didn't, they would all die. "Yerssot, keep a sharp eye for any ships that may cut us off before we hit the ionsphere, " she told him. The long range radar was looking grim. A seemingly impenetrable blockade awaited them just off planet in every direction. Her senses were in a whirlwind and she had to force herself to slow down and think clearly. Damn you, Kuylen........

Yerss, the three ships taking off are NOT pirate vessels.

Yerssot took a moment to think about what just happened...

He took his lightsabre and placed the hilt on his forehead.
The traditional way of the Jedi to say goodbye to a lost one...
Someday Kuylen, you will get paid for this!
The young knight thought.

There were still tears on his cheak...

After a few moments he concentrated again on the present
There is no death! There is the Force! He yelled

"3 ships leaving at 3 10! They are NOT enemy fighters!
Master Gundark, I hope you have a plan... or this is going to be the shortest escape of all time"
