Winter did a double take. "Wait, you're not Shiloh. You look like her, but you're not her… Anyway, we know where Shiloh is, but we can't get that door down… Do you know where the wookies are being held? If we can get to them, and free them, we can free Shiloh. They can get that door down." Winter pointed to the door.
The young looking Twi'lek stepped out so that they could her. She was slim and skinny naturally, but even more so, highlighting the fact that she hadn't had enough to eat for a long time. She was average height. Her skin was a little bluer than her sister's. Her bright, tired eyes took in Winter and widened. "You… You're the girl from my dreams."
This caught Elias' attention. "Wait, you've seen Winter before?" Winter looked off in the distance. "I feel like I've seen you before, like, from another time, years ago, when the universe was not as hostile as it was… Do you know where the wookies are? They can help free Shiloh…"
Elias nodded. "I need help breaking that door down… It's fortified beyond belief… No one is going in or out, without out the help of those wookies…"
(Winter and Elias are talking to Kula to get the wookies, Shiloh is still captured, and Essar is still on the ridge, and 5 and Estelle are still on the ship, on the asteroid…)
(So Essar is still doing recon then?)
(No, but they haven't found him yet…)
(Well I have no clue what to do with him ._.)
Estelle looked at Hi-5. She quickly began looking around the ship for anything that resembled a weapon. She came across a blaster and turned it over in her hands. "This'll do," she decided.
Kula nodded quickly. "Yes, I know where they are. And I can speak to them as well. But their barracks are much more… fortified. And strict."
Winter nodded. Elias smiled. "We can get them out. Just get us there…"
(Idk, turn him into a sniper, picking them off from the ridge… rn, he's just sitting there, or he catches a glimpse of his family…)
Kula nodded. Her eyes were sharp. "Okay. Follow me." She looked around and quickly darted towards the building.
Estelle crept down the ramp and into the asteroid. She stayed around the edge of the battlefield and looked for her not-mother.
Winter and Elias followed Kula. They kept their heads down, and protected Kula at all costs. She was the only one who could take them to the wookies, and they needed her… Winter wondered where Essar was. She hoped that he was holding his own up on the ridge…
(Okee .-.)
Hi-5 followed Estelle. "What are you doing? This is a terrible idea." Estelle crept down the ramp. "No stop. Come back." 5 muttered, not making any effort to stop Estelle.
Essar scanned the complex, keeping his eyes peeled for further evidence of what the empire was doing here.
Winter was keeping an eye out for anyone trying to pick off Kula, she was their only hope of freeing Shiloh…
(Brb, I have to go set up a band stage, rp while I'm gone… should be about an hour. At most.)
Kula snuck around the side of the building and observed the ground carefully before stepping. "Don't step on the dark patches," she hissed.
One of the Imperial snipers was concealed and has their gaze trained on Kula. She noticed the path they were taking and waited.
"I don't care. I can't have people dying for me." Estelle raised her gun at a trooper. She hesitated for a second and ducked back behind a rock. "I… I can't do it."
Winter nodded. She motioned to Elias. “Kula stay behind me. I know someone is out to kill you here…” Just as she finished speaking, a shot was fired. It hit Winter on her shoulder armor. She just looked at the shot, if she han’t been there, it would have hit Kula in the gut. Winter smirked, “Elias, take him out…”
(Hello? Lavender? Camie?)
(I gtg, work is calling…)
The sniper cured under his breath. How could he have been so stupid!? He knew they would be coming for him now. He collected his breath and fired one last stable shot. Success! It hit the Twi'lek on her shoulder.
Estelle took a deep breath. Her delicate finger looks so out of place around the trigger, but she knew what she wanted. She wanted Winter to see her as the girl she used to be. Not as the girl she was. She didn't want to be Estelle anymore. She wanted to be Snowbird again.
Kula grabbed her shoulder and sunk down, muffling her screams. The pain. The pain was too much. She shook her head at nothing and squeezed her shoulder tightly. "Winter…"
Admiral Aquare watched through the cameras as Shiloh's sister got shot. She laughed sharply, but then noticed a flicker of movement behind a rock. It was… She looked at the nearest control room operator and jabbed her finger at the screen. "Dispatch as many troopers as nessicairy to get to that girl. Now!"
"Yes, Admiral!"
Shiloh was straining against her restrains. She wanted to scream but knew that she couldn't. So she only sighed. Her skin was turning such a pale blue that anyone who looked at her in a quick glance would think that she was white. "Hurry Esser…" she whispered. Her chin dropped onto her chest. She was so weak…
(Holy… Crap…)
(Now, Camie…. That's was so good! I love it!!!)
Elias wasn't fast enough… The sniper had fired one last shot and hit Kula in the shoulder. He cursed under his breath. He killed the sniper and jogged back to Winter who was nursing Kula's wound. Suddenly, Winter stood stock still. "Estelle…" She whispered. She gave Elias a panicked look. "Estelle came off of the ship. She's on the asteroid. Elias, I got to go to her. They took her once from me, they won't have the chance to take her again. Free the wookies. Save Shiloh. Go. You know what to do…" Elias grimly nodded. He asked Kula if she was ok to walk beside him. He grabbed Winter by the shoulder before she ran off in the direction of Estelle. He pulled her close and kissed her on the cheek. "Until we meet again…" He softly whispered. Winter bowed her head. "Until we meet again…" and then, she ran off to Estelle's aid…
Estelle saw troopers marching towards her and panicked. She remembered the gun in her hands. She aimed it at the nearest trooper, but didn't fire. The trooper noticed her.
"Hey! She's right here!"
Kula nodded quickly. She didn't trust her voice yet. If she spoke, and it wavered, Elias would treat her like a child. She did her best to steady her breaths.
