Ahsoka yelled out to Alana "Use the force... feel it running through you"

"And I had such high hopes for you" Darth Malice said. "Maybe I'll try again with your sister, or even your child."

Dahlia looked in surprise as someone was actually helping her. A young woman, was shooting at the droids with a laser pistol. A sigh of relief came across Dahlia as she was now, not fighting alone.

"Thanks.." She mumbled, catching her breath as she was running away.

Alana growled softly as she thought of Talitha. She was not going to let this man get ahold of her. SHe was going to fight this to the death.She wasnot going to give him a chance.

"Thats if you survive this encounter. I dont quit easy."

She closed her eyes and opened them a moment later. She felt the sweat running down the back of her neck and she flexed her neck losining the pain he was feeling.

Darth Malice slashed at her. His lightsabers moving at a blinding speed.

Mara finished off the droids and followed Dahlia... though Leia had sent her on this mission she would understand the delay... that and she would feel guilty if something happened to her. Mara quickly caught up to the girl as she ran "This is a dangerous place you know"

Dahlia chuckled. "I figured, but I was stuck in a rock in a hard place.........ran out of fuel...."

She grabbed her ryuseisui again and swung it at the droids in front of them, the metal hitting metal made a scrapping sound as it knocked them down.

"I am not made for fighting...yet.." She continued.

Alana dodged accuratly. SHe let her mind guide her. She grinned. This force stuff was easier than she thought. SHe grabbed the jedis lightsaber and tossed it to her.

"Keep you hand on it better next time."

Ahsoka took hold of her lightsaber and tried to cut the the pod open but the hole just close and what was worse she was getting wek from her force energy being drained.

Mara shot down droids as she passed them "That's obvious"

Darth Malice crossed his lightsabers into an X, lept into the air, and pinned Alana to the ground with her head in between the lightsabers.

Soon the hallway ended and Dahlia was back to where she started. In the bay area of the ship, her smaller one sat unattended all by it's lonesome.

"I need to get out of here....and I don't know if they actually put fuel in my ship or not..."

Dahlia looked behind her. "Do you have a ride? Just in case I need to hitch one?"

Alana stopped being still. SHe could hear her hair sizzling and smelt the burning hair. She looked up at her uncle and closed her eyes.

"Go ahead and kill me. I know you want to."

.....................

Darth Malice stood up and freed alana. "You and I have one more thing in common" he said. "we are the only family left for each other."
((Was supposed to be posted before darkninja.))

Dahlia took that moment and ran to her ship, inside she checked the fuel tanks; which where still empty.

"Crap...I am stuck!" She cried.

Dahlia, then ran back out to the strange girl. "Looks like I am stuck with you for a while.....my name is Dahlia...by the way.."

She sighed. "I might not be much of a fighter, but I have some kick to my style..." Dahlia continued, hoping to give the girl something so she will allow her to stay with her.

She stood up and stared at him a moment. "I wont be a sith. I make a good living as a bounty hunter and plan to stay like this. I have a kid to worry about and I wouldnt want her to have to worry about mom coming home."

"Then before we part, you should at least know the name of the jedi that killed your father" Darth Malice said. "His name, is Skywalker."

Mara looked to Dahlia "I'm Mara Jade" She looked to the ship... "I could call for my ship on coruscant but then my cover would be blown"

She stopped movin for a moment "Luke Skywalker?" She asked. She had heard of him but never met him. She knew she would need to avenge her father.

Dahlia stopped, she didn't want Mara's cover to be blown. Dahlia, herself probably made this harder for her to complete this so called mission.

"Nah...I wouldn't want that. I will just stick with you for a bit until I can find some fuel." She smiled. "That is, if you don't mind?"

"The one and the same" replied Darth Malice. An elevator then lwered him to another level, and a htch seald off the elevator entrance. The energy pod released Ahsoka, having drained her of her force powers.

Alana grabbed the jedi and took off towards her ship. SHe bumped into twogirls on the way and dropped the jedi accidetally.

"Where are you two heading?" She asked the girls.

Mara looked to Alana who was carrying a Togrutan woman on her back "I'm on a mission for Senator Organa" Mara watched the woman for her reaction.

Dahlia followed Mara, bumping into Alana. The question that this second strange girl asked went over Dahlia's head, she didn't know exactly where she was going or who she was with. It had been a long day and she was ready just to take a nice long hot bath and relax.

"I am following her." She pointed to Mara.

"Are you the one who asked for gas?" Alana asked. SHe picked the jedi back up and waited for the girl to answer before she headed back to her ship.
