Ahsoka attacked continuously, brandishing her twin white lightsabers. To end the fight quickly, she used her most familiar form, reverse-gripping the lightsaber in her left hand, watching her opponent's moves closely, constantly looking for an opening.
Form V, Shien. It was originally only used for defending against blasters, but under Ahsoka's modifications, it also showed powerful effects in lightsaber duels.
A proficient reverse grip could strike the enemy's openings with greater precision, while the main attacking right hand used forceful offense to pressure the opponent into making a mistake.
But the Fifth Brother's strength was in no way inferior to hers, perhaps even stronger. This prevented Ahsoka from creating an opening for a long time. Moreover, he stayed close to her, not letting Ahsoka escape.
"Could it be he has backup?" Ahsoka thought, her desire to retreat growing stronger.
The Imperial Inquisitor, the Fifth Brother, faced Ahsoka's assault. Several times he was nearly disarmed, which brought him out in a cold sweat. As a result, his entire being was in a state of high concentration. He thought angrily of the Seventh Sister, who had not yet arrived as support. That woman must want me to die an early death!
At this moment, the Seventh Sister was crawling forward inside a ventilation duct. Suddenly, her helmet hit a protrusion, startling her. She paid it no mind and continued to crawl forward.
"Today, I must capture that kid. I'll take him to the Fortress Inquisitorius and torture him properly!"
"Did I forget something? Hmph! Whatever."
. . .
Amir was also getting anxious. This stormtrooper was unexpectedly tenacious and had already held him up for two minutes. It had been nearly twenty minutes since the spatial jammer began to disrupt the space. He had to leave immediately. If the space stabilized prematurely and the ship entered hyperspace, he would truly be unable to escape.
He knew the ship's final destination was an Imperial prison.
Amir launched another strong attack. In the continuous back-and-forth, this stormtrooper gave Amir a very familiar feeling.
Just as the two were fighting fiercely, the ventilation duct in the hangar was suddenly kicked open, and the Seventh Sister, in her black armor, jumped down.
"Die!" The furious Imperial Inquisitor activated her double-bladed lightsaber and threw it, spinning, directly at Amir.
Amir was about to dodge, but he found the stormtrooper next to him was still in a daze, seemingly not realizing the Imperial Inquisitor would attack him as well.
Amir kicked him in the waist, knocking him aside, and used the recoil to fall in the other direction.
The lightsaber flew between the two. No one was injured.
At this moment, the stormtrooper who had been kicked away finally had his helmet knocked off, revealing his hidden face.
"Kaiyin?! I knew there was a familiar feeling." Amir's mind reeled, but he didn't call out. If the Empire knew of Kaiyin's relationship with him, a criminal, this honest soldier would be in for it, to say the least. He wouldn't be able to make it in the Empire anymore.
Before leaving, Kaiyin had sent him a message saying he had an off-site mission, but he'd never expected it to be this mission.
But thinking about it, this mission was just transporting a prison car. It should have been risk-free. It was exactly the kind of thing they'd send students to.
It was all coincidence. The will of the Force.
The Imperial Inquisitor stretched out her hand, and the Force-controlled lightsaber spun and flew back into her grasp. She herself also rushed quickly toward Amir.
Amir quickly pulled out his blaster pistol and fired, blocking her attack path, but it only slowed her down slightly and didn't have much effect.
The Seventh Sister lunged, like a beast wreathed in darkness. Her scarlet lightsaber swung continuously at Amir's vital points.
Amir constantly observed the Seventh Sister's movements, his body nimbly dodging on the ground. But the Imperial Inquisitor's speed was far beyond that of a normal person. Several times, she almost cut him.
As he dodged, he kept firing his blaster at the Imperial Inquisitor, but she dodged every shot as if she had precognition. He simply threw the blaster away and looked for an opening on the Imperial Inquisitor's lightsaber: the hilt!
Imperial Inquisitors usually used double-bladed lightsabers that could spin. In the middle was a double-ended handle, and a black mechanical ring connected the two ends. This ring was also a mechanical device that allowed the double-bladed saber to rotate at high speed around the hilt. With the help of the Force, it could even hover like a 'bamboo-copter'.
And the weakness of this 'bamboo-copter' was its hilt. When she swung the double-bladed saber, her hands didn't stay in the safe position in front of her chest like with a single blade, but rather extended further forward. Amir judged that to be the highest point of her attack.
Finally, after another of the Seventh Sister's attacks missed, Amir lunged forward and also grabbed the hilt of the double-bladed lightsaber!
"You scurrying insect! Watch me tear you apart!" The Seventh Sister seemed to be blinded by rage. She actually made the lightsaber spin at high speed between them.
Amir suddenly felt a huge pushing force. The high-speed rotating lightsaber, carrying a wave of heat, continuously pressed toward him. It was less than twenty centimeters from his eyes.
He was forced to retreat, continuously backing up, until he was against the wall.
In front of him was the spinning lightsaber and the Imperial Inquisitor, roaring as she pushed forward. This scene made Amir feel a trace of despair. He had severely underestimated the Imperial Inquisitor's strength. The approaching lightsaber made him feel the threat of death!
In this desperate situation, Amir suddenly became very calm. He focused on the Imperial Inquisitor's slender neck. Something unknown began to flow in the air.
"Kkh!" The Seventh Sister's breath suddenly hitched. A strong sense of pressure came from her throat, making her grip loosen. Her subconscious wanted her to pull her hand back to get rid of the unknown restraint on her throat.
Just then, the sound of a blaster!
Pew! Pew!
The piercing sound interrupted the Seventh Sister's struggle. The repeated blaster bolts hit her shoulder, making her lose control of the lightsaber.
Amir seized the opportunity, found the switch on the lightsaber, and turned it off. He raised his foot and kicked hard at the Seventh Sister's abdomen as she clutched her shoulder, coughing. She flew backward and curled up on the ground.
At this moment, Amir turned to look at Kaiyin, who was holding his blaster in a firing stance.
"It's you, isn't it, A... Hah. It better be you, or I'm screwed." Kaiyin said in his usual low, honest voice. The Imperial Inquisitor next to him was still conscious, so he didn't say Amir's name.
"No regrets?" Amir asked.
"Hell, I regret it like crazy." Kaiyin picked up his helmet and set his blaster to stun mode, firing a shot at the Imperial Inquisitor. "You go first. I'll take this TIE fighter and find you. Hah. I was supposed to be able to fly it tomorrow anyway."
"Haha, that's you alright. Still thinking about ships at a time like this." After speaking, Amir didn't linger. The two of them had developed a unique understanding over the past two years.
He ran directly toward his ship. Before leaving, he didn't forget to brandish the captured Sith double-bladed lightsaber.
Amir quickly reached the connecting bay and found Lensis being guarded in a corner by a Rebel companion, staring blankly.
Ahsoka also returned from the other side.
"Looks like I'm right on time?" Ahsoka said with a smile, but her appearance showed the fight hadn't been easy.
"We were just waiting for you." Amir really wanted to call her 'kid', but he was afraid of being hit, so he didn't.
"Bleep-bloop! Bzzzt!" BD-4 opened the hatch, calling to Amir.
"Let's go, quickly," urged Hak, the Rebel technician. The prison ship could take off at any moment.
"Well... see you around." Amir looked at Ahsoka.
"Want to join us?" Ahsoka suddenly asked.
"If I can't make it on my own, I'll definitely come find you," Amir laughed.
"You could at least take off your helmet when you say that!"
Amir looked around. Seeing no monitors, he took off his helmet, smiled, and then walked into the ship.
. . .
The massive prison ship suddenly turned into a streak of light and disappeared from this patch of stars. But the mission it carried was no longer complete.
Kaiyin sat in the TIE Interceptor, watching the prison ship disappear. His tense body slowly relaxed.
There wasn't much sadness, no so-called sentimentality. Those feelings had flashed for a moment before he fired on the Imperial Inquisitor, but he had immediately discarded them.
All around was silence. An empty ship, an empty starry sky.
He pulled the lever and entered hyperspace. The destination at the end of the route was the Outer Rim of the galaxy.
