'Run! Just fucking run!'
This wasn't a shonen action series! There was no honor or justice forcing him to fight to the death with the big bad Rakatan eldritch horror!
He reached out and grabbed the unconscious Twi'lek girl. Covered the two of them in a 'bubble' of air and jumped, shooting out the window before the half-melted egg-head could regenerate and do anything else. Outside, there was no gravity, so moving around naked with the Force was obscenely easy… Unfortunately, he also had to fight to keep the vacuum away.
There was a silver-white hilt floating around, so he grabbed it and connected it magnetically to Daesha's belt. He floated faster every second and quickly caught up with Kikha. She was copying Asmodeus' trick earlier and holding that air inside her broken helmet, but instead of wasting her own energy and focus, she just activated her backpack.
'This way! Quickly!'
Kikha's voice rang out in his mind as he followed her back, not towards their ship, but to a certain hangar bay on the other side of the 'donut'. Asmodeus looked back and saw those creepy red eyes glowing in the darkness, flying after them rapidly!
"Goddamn it!" Asmodeus picked up speed, while losing a bit of 'air'. It was getting colder, but still within the survivable range. He was more worried about Daesha, who was frowning, with her purple lips looking a little pale. Those long Lekku wrapped around her face and neck, but it was so cold that they started shrinking a bit.
Fortunately, when you're zipping through space, a kilometer or two isn't really that far! The moment they reached the hangar bay, they saw a few small shuttles! Specifically known as the Neimoidian Escort Shuttle or Sheathipede-class Transport Shuttle. They were green, 14.4 meters long, with a big 'fin' sticking up on the end. The mid-section of the short and chubby ship looked like there was a strip missing from the armor plating. There was a small but somewhat comfy cockpit, though only enough for a single pilot to fit inside. The bottom had four small bug-like metal legs acting as landing gear.
"Nice!" Asmodeus grinned, then saw a bright red light fly past his face from the darkness! He ducked out of the way as five more shots flew past and hit the Rakatan behind his back! Knocking out of the Hangar Bay…
He saw two other 'red eyes' in the darkness, as a silver figure holding a particularly large blaster rifle walked out. It didn't speak to him, but simply waved, then fired a few more shots at the rapidly approaching egg-headed monster!
'Come on! We have to go, now!'
Asmodeus flew over to the back of the ship right as the door opened up. The entrance was at least three meters high and two meters wide, allowing the three of them to rush in side-by-side without much trouble. Meanwhile that HK Droid fired a few more shots and stole his own shuttle. He was even faster than they were, quickly starting up the engines and leaving before Kikha could even sit down in the cockpit!
"Phew~! Thank god-er-The Force… Almost suffocated."
There was plenty of air inside the ship and it heated up quickly as soon as the power started running smoothly. The enginest turned on and Kikha 'dodged' away from the range of that weird Force Using egg-droid-artifact thing. Within a moment, they were already several kilometers away!
The inside of the vessel had a small luxury lounge, after all, it was meant to serve as short-range transport for high-profile business-people. So there was a nice sofa, some halo novels and other equipment, a refrigerator and freezer. Unfortunately there was no bathroom, since it was never meant to be used for such a long time.
Asmodeus knelt down next to Daesha on the floor and started taking off her brown and silver space suit. She was breathing heavily and still had some bleeding blue cuts on her cute purple Lekku. After throwing the pieces of the suit off to the side, he looked at her sweaty naked body and frowned. He placed his hand on her neck and felt her pulse… But it was useless because she was an 'alien' and he wasn't even a human doctor anyway. She could be hypothermic or just having a nightmare. At least the Force told him that she was relatively 'healthy', just… Disturbed.
Then he looked up through the cockpit doorway and saw the back of a comfortable, large pilot chair, along with two blue arms on the sides. She was pushing buttons, turning knobs and pulling levers, as the ship stopped and turned around.
"Okay, so what now?" Asmodeus walked over behind the chair and crouched down a bit, looking out the window at the distant gigantic donut with a ball in the middle and a piece of the ring missing on the side facing them. He could still 'feel' that monster, but it wasn't chasing them anymore. It seemed to be returning back to the sphere…
"Now? Now we wait."
"For-" There was a blinding blue light! That huge sphere exploded like a supernova and blasted the two huge sections of the ring aside, at least for a moment before they also burst into blinding lights. Then there was an even bigger explosion as the ship's engines, hyperdrives and most of the power cores were all detonated at once!
"Ah! My fucking eyes! Why the hell didn't you warn me?!"
"Sorry… I thought we had more time." Kikha sighed and removed her tentacles from her big black eyes. The red cuts looked particularly striking against the light-blue skin. She looked up at those bloodshot golden eyes and sighed, "Deus… Thank you."
