The Bad Batch: Book 2

Part 4: Crashing?!?!

Luna's POV 

As Tech and Echo were able to hide behind the walls I didn't have time so I pulled out my lightsaber and began to swing it around blocking the lasers that were coming at me. A few lasers that I send back hit the troopers. 

Tech: "Find an alternate route to the pod." 

Echo: "On it." 

Tech was helping me with the troopers as Echo began to look for an alternate route. 

Echo: "They just ejected all the escape pods!" 

An electrical ball flew past me right at the troopers knocking them down. Quickly Tech and I stepped to Echo. 

Tech: "There has to be another way off this ship." 

He said as he began to type on the monitor, making Echo take a step back. 

Echo: "Other than overtaking this vessel, what do you suggest?" 

Me: "This is a class four freighter, isn't it?" 

Tech: "Yeh, why?"

Me: "Containers on class four freighters are equipped with reentry trustees. We can escape in a cargo container." 

Tech took out his monitor and after a few moments, he looked at me. 

Tech: "You are right. I am impressed." 

Me: "I have a good teacher." 

Tech: "However, the containers must be ejected before leaving the atmosphere, which means our window is rapidly closing." 

Me: "We better get moving then." 

He and Echo took hold of the crate and began to walk. I was about to follow them when I had to turn around at great speed as I heard the doors opening behind us. With my lightsaber, I began to block the laser attacks that were coming at us by more troopers. A smoke bomb flew past me and the moment it touched the ground and went off I was able to jump over the crate behind me. 

Tech: "Fall back!" 

We quickly ran away from more troopers that were coming at us and we had to leave the creat behind. 

Hunter's POV 

Troopers were coming at us and were losing time. We needed to get out of here before that cargo ship took Echo, Luna, and Tech to an unknown location. 

Wrecker: "Any idea who we are getting out of here?" 

He asked as I looked at him. I looked at the window behind us and then I looked at the ground just to see that we were standing on the doors. The doors that led down. 

Me: "We're not going out. We're going down." 

Wrecker stopped shooting at the troopers so he could look at me. 

Me: "There is a lift below us. Cover me." 

He nodded and then he continued shooting at the troopers. I turned around and began to tap on the monitor that we were using before as a cover from getting shot. For a moment I looked up to see more troopers coming at us from each side down the stairs. 

Wrecker: "What is taking you so long?" 

Me: "I'm trying. Tech usually does this." 

After pressing a few buttons we began to go down a little but suddenly we stopped. 

Me: "It's jammed." 

Wrecker: "Well I can fix that." 

From behind his belt, he took a smoke bomb and threw it at the troopers. The moment it went off Wrecker suddenly began to jump up and down. My eyes winded in shock.
