The transmission with Yoda began to fade out.
"Master, please repeat. Are you sending reinforcements?" Kit Fisto asked.
"You're breaking up" Mace said.
The transmission fully disappeared as Prince Lee-Char swam over.
"Are they coming?" He asked.
"I don't know" Fisto said.
"But they know our situation" Ackbar said. "They must know to send help."
"Yeah, but it may take them a while to get here" I said. "We're gonna have to get ourselves to the surface and get off this rock."
"I will not leave my people to die" Lee-Char said.
"With all do respect, your highness, if we stay, we all die" I said.
"We must reach the surface and see if our ship is still there" Padme said.
"The prince will decide our course of action" Ackbar said.
"I think it is best for us to try and escape using your ship" Lee-Char said.
"As you wish, your highness. Follow me" I said.
I led the way as Kit Fisto quickly took the lead. Many of the Quarren swam around the top as we hid down below.
"That's a lot of enemy troops between us and the surface" Padme said.
"It's no problem. I just hope you're a fast swimmer" I smiled.
"Says the girl who learned how to swim when she was fifteen" she said.
"Hey!" I said.
"Are you certain your ship is still there?" Senator Tills asked.
"Only one way to find out" I said.
"I'll create a diversion so you can get past those patrols" Fisto said.
"All right, try to get a mini sub or two. It'll help us speed to the surface" I said.
"No problem" he said before swimming off.
A mini sub appeared as I pushed it to Poppy.
"Poppy, you're first. Take the prince and Senator Tills" I said.
"Got it" I said.
She blasted off as I awaited another. I grabbed onto the center as it flew down. Padme and Captain Ackbar grabbed each side as we went to the surface.
"There's the ship" Padme said.
"Still in one piece" I said.
The ship exploded as we all disbanded. Droids appeared as I grabbed my sabers.
"Well, prince, how do you feel abou fighting again?" I asked.
"Master Jedi, we're too vulnerable here" Lee-Char said. "We must reach the sea floor."
"Grab onto the debris" I said. "Let it carry you to the bottom."
I grabbed onto debris as Fisto swam towards me.
"Back so soon?" He asked.
"Yeah, the ship had some problems" I said.
"I can see that, all around me" he aaid.
"This is our only chance" Ackbar said. "We need to split up and his the princes whereabouts."
"I'm not sure that's the best strategy" I waid.
"I'm sure. Captain Aclbars words are my own" Lee-Char aaid. "It will give us the best chances of surviving if we split up."
"As you wish" I aaid. "Poppy, you and the prince go with Kit and take the clones. I'll take the senators and Captain Ackbar. Lay low. Our only hope is that Master Yoda can send help in time."
