The entire venue was in complete chaos. By the time Amir and the others reached the upper levels, no one was paying attention to them anymore.
They found an emergency exit and escaped one by one.
"Find a doctor!" Amir found a two-person flying pod and placed Chewbacca inside.
"Can you fly it?" Amir asked.
The only response was a roar.
"Good."
Amir then put Lango next to Chewbacca and mounted his motorcycle.
Several Imperial transport ships flew in from the distance. Remarkably, they had arrived quickly to provide reinforcements.
The two flying motorcycles and the flying boat headed off into the distance.
"Faster! Get to Victor. He's badly injured," Amir said, looking at the trembling Lango. Amir said, looking at the trembling Lango.
After winding through narrow streets for a long time, they finally arrived in a familiar neighborhood and stopped at an empty intersection.
Amir helped Lango down and Chewbacca struggled to stand on his own.
Veronica quickly pushed open an iron door, and the four of them followed her down the stairs.
At the bottom was a sealed alloy door. Veronica pressed the doorbell.
"Victor! Victor! Open the door!"
Suddenly, a small opening appeared in the door and a camera peered out, scanning the area. Then, the alloy door swung open. An elderly Rodian emerged.
"Come in quickly!"
Amir helped Lango inside and placed him on the hospital bed while Chewbacca sat down in a nearby chair.
"The injuries are severe, but it's not a problem. I just acquired a better medical pod. It's military surplus and still brand new."
Victor examined Lango's injuries.
"You, the hairy one, get into that old medical pod yourself."
"Amir, help me clean his clothes, and I'll tend to his wounds."
This green-skinned, big-eyed guy was still so reliable. Amir sighed in relief and hurried over to help.
Finally, after half an hour of hustle and bustle, Lango was lying in the medical pod.
"Luckily, we have this new medical pod. He won't have any lasting effects. His muscles were almost completely torn, and his bones were shattered. We almost had to amputate."
"Victor finished speaking and glanced at Veronica's left hand.
"Thank you, Victor. We owe you."
"No problem, just pay me."
"Of course."
The three of them sat down in the clinic's chairs.
"So, what happened tonight?"
"We didn't start anything. We were forced into it." Amir recounted the entire incident.
Victor tightened his clothes and lay down on the sofa. He had already fallen asleep.
"Things have been pretty rough around here lately. I think some organizations are fighting for power."
As he listened to Victor, Amir thought of Senir's face.
"Maybe."
"I heard that a new amusement park opened in Posaria. You guys can go check it out."
"Is it already this tense? Are you trying to get rid of me?"
"The leader of the Black Sun provoked the wrong people and died. Now, anyone with power in Coruscant wants a piece of the pie, and we're right in the heart of it, with the Imperial Palace at our doorstep."
"I'm going to Tatooine."
"What are you going to do in that godforsaken place? Sunbathe?"
"I'm looking for someone."
. . .
Night fell into silence.
The next morning, Victor opened the medical pod, and two injured people stood up.
Lango's green skin showed no wounds, and Chewbacca was already jumping around.
Looking at Amir and Veronica, who had slept in the hall all night, Lango lowered his head, not knowing what to say.
Amir suddenly smiled. "You fought well. You didn't disgrace yourself."
Veronica crossed her legs and remained silent, using her communicator to comfort Jax, who hadn't been allowed to come along last night.
Just then, Amir's communicator rang.
To his surprise, it was Ahsoka's image.
"Anything going on lately?" the Togruta woman asked.
"Sort of," Amir replied. He had dreamed of Tatooine again last night. "How have you been?"
"Thanks to your holographic recorder, we found many valuable items left behind by the Republic, as well as several hidden locations that can serve as bases," said Ahsoka, sounding pleased.
"Also, thank you for helping Hak and the others. Without your help, they would have had a hard time escaping." She looked at Veronica beside her and said, "This is the girl, right? Hak told me you wanted to join us."
"Who's this?" Veronica turned her head.
"This is Hak's superior, Ahsoka," Amir joked.
"Hello, my name is Veronica," she said, sounding unusually reserved.
"Nice to meet you. Hak told me about you. We'd be happy to have you join us anytime," Ahsoka said with a smile.
"How are the children?" Veronica asked.
"They're safe for now. No symptoms have appeared. Our people are studying the data we retrieved from the research institute, looking for a cure."
At that moment, a golden head poked out.
"Amir! Veronica!" Gulina called out happily. "The children are all fine. I sensed it. They will all recover."
Gulina had also regained her spirits.
"That's good." Amir was happy to see the little witch, too.
"We called you because we found information about Gulina's tribe, but the trail ended on Coruscant. We'd like to ask for your help in finding them," Ahsoka continued.
Amir touched the Kyber crystal around his neck and asked, "What specific clues do you have?"
"The Empire transferred these people to Coruscant and sold them to the Hutts. It was done by an officer acting on his own." Ahsoka frowned. "We don't know where the Hutts took them.
"I think I remember something." At that moment, Lango walked over from behind. He had gone into the room to change clothes.
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. They hadn't expected to get a lead so quickly.
"When I was at the port workshop, I often heard sounds coming from the boxes. I never thought much of it until now."
"I can check the port's records."
"That would be a great help," Ahsoka replied.
"No problem. That's exactly what I wanted to do. I'll contact you as soon as I find anything." Lango said.
After the communication ended, the group chatted for a long time, with Chewbacca occasionally letting out a few growls.
Ultimately, Lango and Chewbacca decided to stay on Coruscant and search for clues about the slaves while Amir and Veronica headed to Tatooine.
Recent events had left Amir feeling anxious. The answers he sought and his recurring premonitions urged him to keep moving forward.
"It's time to go," Amir said. He was sitting in the cockpit of the Traveler, having prepared everything.
After bidding farewell to the Mers family, he packed quite a bit, sensing this journey would be a long one.
Veronica sat in the passenger seat, familiarizing herself with the operating system.
The spaceship gradually departed from the port, heading toward the endless starry sky.
