<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Didnt dare let Logan see the worry in her eyes....but wondered what he ment.

Plopped down into a sitting position on the floor of her cell...sighed sadly. Wondered why things like this always happened to her...deep down she knew however.
It was pre-determined destiny...she was a Solo and always would be, and along with that came her fathers luck...
<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

"Figures...", Jai began to plot a way to escape....

" Do what I say and DO NOT argue orders again" Teebo said. He hated it when people argued against his orders.
" Yes, sir" Bobbum replied, trying, wthout success, to cover the fear in his voice. He turned and walked away. Teebo sat back down in his command chair. The Mon Calamarian ships were interesting. They could only be piloted by the species that created them. They were the heart of the New Republic Fleet.

As the interogators move towards Jaina they suddenly fall down and die,cut at the throat.

A distortion in the air moves toward Jai and suddenly SolidSnake appears.

"I think I like you more <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> behind<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> the energy field"

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Jai jumped to her feet and nearly went through the energy field at the sight of him,<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> "Snake!!!!"

Grins, "Oh wow, Am i glad to see you."

"Always getting yourself into trouble huh Jaina?"

Snake slashed the controls for the energy field and fiddled with the wires for a moment.

The Energy filed droped,releasing Jaina.

Snake pressed the button behind his ear,revealing his face.

"What happened this time?"

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Notices Tex in the cell to the right of hers...pulls out her blaster (which the guards didnt bother to take) and shoots the controls of his cell, releasing him, "Tex, get to the ship and power it up for me." With a nod and a slight salute to Snake, Tex ran off towards the MJF, arriveing there safely and unseen...<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

Jai turned to Snake as Tex ran out, smiled to see he still showed her his face, "Well....its complicated, Snake. But, I'm a Solo *shrugs* and that explains it all."

She flashes a killer smile,....."By the way, what are you doing here?"

"Saving your sorry behind,it looks like"

Snake and Jaina made their way through the New Alliance Star Destroyer,always alert of traps.The approached a corner,and Snake peered carefuly around it.
He saw at least 2 dozen darktroopers standing there at what appeared to be a checkpoint.Snake flattened himself to the wall and looked at Jai.

"24 Darktroopers.I can take them,I want you to run through while a create a distraction"

With that Snake ran through slashing with his vibroblade.

"Jai,Go!"

Distraction..but I dont....
<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Then it hit her. Some wild, deep, Solo instinct flowed from inside her somewhere makeing her grab up her blaster, hold it high, and then run like the devils' fire while letting out a yell that would wake the dead...

Solo-Darklighter barrelled past Snake and then through the darktroopers leaveing them all so shocked that not a one thought to shoot or follow her and Snake...
<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

"Run, Snake! <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Run!<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->"....had no idea where she was going and was hopeing Snake would take the lead soon....

Snake started after her but several Darktroopers got in his way and started firing at him.
Snake lept above the blaster bolts and slashed at the first trooper,opning it's chest up.
Snake was about to start running after Jaina untill he felt a powerful blast and overwhelming pain in his back.

Snake pitched forward and slammed into the ground,the Darktrooper that had shot him towered over Snake.

Snake glance to where Jaina was and gave her a resigned look as dozen more Darktroopers got between Snake and Jai.He reached out,as if to touch her but his hand was chrushed by a Darktrooper's boot.They all started firing at her and she had no choice but to run to the MJF,and freedom.
This was her only chance for escape,the Darktroopers would kill her if she went back for Snake.
And Snake knew that the Darktroopers were not programmed to accept surrender.So if Jai tried to surrender they would kill her anyway.

"Uhh...go!....get out of here!"

OOC-Snake, might I suggest that you stick to calling them War Droids? Dark troopers...well...the New Alliance for:

1) Couldn't possibly have that many

2) I doubt they have that kind of technology.

So War Droids, War Droids it is :) .


The situation had apparently gone critical, and two Rogue Imperial operatives had been reported to get caught in the conflict. The New Alliance had been warned, and if this was how they were going to repay Fearsons' courtesy...well then. Admiral Wyldan and Telween, two of the greatest commanders in the Rogue Imperial War Machine were to command this attack. They stood aboard the <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Imperial<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->-Class Mark II Star Destroyer <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Nebula<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->. They had sat in the dry dock for too long, the Rogue Imperial Second Fleet was going to see some action.

The spinning and twirling combustion that hyperspace brought ended quickly, and into the system came the Second Fleet. It did not take long for the Interdictor <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Harpago<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> to activate its gravity wells, the Chimera Fleet would not escape to Sluis Van to reinforce the battle there.

Telween reached down to activate the comms uplink to broadcast throughout the system. "Attention Alliance, Calamari, and Chimera Fleet forces, this space is now under Rogue Imperial Control, cease your conflict at once and return the prisoners or we shall fire upon you," he announced. "Repeat, cease this attack or we <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> will<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> intervene." Telween nodded to Wyldan, who in turn relayed the message to launch the fighters.

A ferocious assortment of missile boats, assault gunboats, TIE Fighters, and TIE Interceptors launched from the fleet, heading directly toward the three fleets. If they did not cease their attack, there would be nothing left for them to fight with.
