Across the Universe | D. Djarin

Revenge

I sighed heavily as I glanced around the small space, looking for a way out, anything that will help us escape. But the cell was practically bare aside from the long bench sat flush against the back wall.

Mando paced the cell as he thought of a way to get us out of there. Suddenly, he stopped pacing and walked quietly over to the cell door, he looked out the small window and raised his hand, aiming his fist out of the window.

The wire from his vambrace shot out silently and grabbed onto a security droid that was walking past. He quickly turned around and pulled the wire as hard as he could, he grunted from the effort as he forced the droid to be crushed up against the cell door.

The droid struggled against his grip, it raised its hand and stuck its blaster through the window. My eyes widened as the blaster aimed in my direction, I quickly moved out of the way and ran towards Mando as the droid fired at us.

The blaster bolt bounced around the room, I flinched and tried to shield my face with my hands. Mando grabbed a hold of the droid's blaster and pulled at his arm, causing it to snap off in his grasp and leave the droid defenceless.

Mando then used the blaster from the droid to shoot at it through the window, he directly shot the droid's head, causing it to spark and collapse into the ground.

"Was there a reason for that?" I asked as I breathed heavily with my hand clutched against my heart.

"Yes," Mando said as He leaned down and picked up the droid's arm from the ground. He twisted something at the base of the droid's severed arm which caused a long key to stick out from the wrist.

"Oh." I quietly hummed in understanding as he placed the key into the lock on the door, the lock spun around and clicked three times before the cell door slid open again.

I let out a sigh of relief. "Good job." I said to Mando

"Thanks. Let's go." Mando nodded to me. I nodded in return and pulled my blaster out of its holster. The two of us took off running down the long white corridors once again.

Mando and I eventually came across the control room that they had previously been in, we had to find out where the others were, and we had to take our revenge.

Mando walked up to the control panel and pressed a few buttons. "Do you even know what you're doing?" I asked him

"Yes. I think so." Mando said with semi-confidence.

I looked at the security footage and saw the group that had abandoned them on the screen, they were at a crossroads and were arguing with each other.

Suddenly, the lights turned off, plunging them into darkness. Another set of lights then quickly turned on, the emergency lights were a bright red, allowing them to see where they were going.

Mando began to hit several more buttons and I watched the screen as the doors surrounding the group dropped down, trapping them. Mando left one door open for them to go through, he was directing them to go the way he wanted. They were running head-first into a trap. The amount of satisfaction I felt when I saw them panic almost felt wrong.

"What's the plan?" I asked him quietly as I watched them run through the hallways.

"We'll separate them. Knock them out and put them in a cell." Mando said with determination

"Okay." I nodded as I watched another door close on the group, Mayfeld and Qin were on one side while Xi'an and Burg were stuck on the other.

"Press that button over there, it'll turn their comms off." Mando gestured to a red button on the control panel.
