Heart of Mandalore Chapter 12



It had to be Gar Saxon. Who else would have the Darksaber other than Bo-Katan at this point? Gar ignited the saber and drove it into the top of the ship. He moved it in a circle and pulled it out. He jumped up, and fell into the ship, right where he was cutting. She had to warn the pilot. She tried to use her comlink, no luck. They must have jammed them. She had to warn him somehow, but she didn’t have enough fuel to even get within throwing distance. She had to preserve her energy pack s since she was running low. She used more than half of her current ones, and only had 2 replacements for each. Each held 50 shots, but she already burned through one pack. She just had to accept the fact that the only way off the planet now, was to steal a Death Watch ship.

She kept flying towards the ridge, constantly dodging fire. She looked back, the ship was now flying towards her and shooting its laser cannons.

¨We need to find cover, NOW!¨

¨Don't you think we already know that?¨ smart-mouthed Ursa.

¨Uh, for crying out loud Ursa, we either need to retake the ship, or find somewhere they could never look, or even if they did, wouldn’t find us.¨

¨Bo, Gar has our supplies, we have no other option than to turn back.¨

¨I think your right, alright, let’s make a run for it!¨

Bo-Katan, Ursa, and her guards turned around and used their last bit of fuel to try to get to the ship. They had to dodge many bolts of fire and end up making it there, losing 1 guard. Bo-Katan only had 1 left.

When they each climbed through the hole that Gar Saxon had cut, they drew their blasters and expected him to attack them. They probably should have known that he was flying the ship. They continued towards the cockpit of the freighter. They could not see nor hear Gar Saxon. Just then, the ship lurches up, heading for the edge of the atmosphere. All of the people on board stumble, and fall backward, sliding down the floor, to the back wall. Bo-Katan tries to get up but needs the support of the wall. She realizes that the air continues to grow colder. She realizes that the hole that Saxon cut was not filled, therefore, would suck anything and everything not bolted down to the ground out to space.

¨We either have to seal that hole, or move, now!¨

¨I cant Bo, I’m stuck!¨ Ursa said, in a defensive, concerned, frightened tone.

¨We have to!¨

Bo-Katan moves towards Ursa, but can’t make it. They are going to die here. They are going to die.

All of a sudden, Bo-Katan heard the roaring engine of another ship. Could it be other Death Watch Starfighter s? Or could it be Axe Woves and the other group?
