=I breeze by a Stormtrooper on his rounds=

Trooper: Freeze! Stand where you are smuggler!

=I then turn and fire on him=

Sorry about that!

=I then book it down the street, Stormtroopers heading after me=

Trooper: Freeze, you're under arrest!

=I find some cover and fire once again=

(Angry) No way in Corellia's Nine Hells will I be going to prison!

=I get out of cover, and then continue to beat feet down the street, accompanied by loud screaming=

Terrific...now they can add disturbing the peace among my many charges

Jeremy-
=I got up as the man made a hand signal to follow him, as we made our way through busy streets into one of the back alleys leading to the Arena, I started to feel heavy, like someone was watching me, maybe an Imperial Stormtrooper=

=As we entered the Arena, I was handed a stun blaster, as Death Matches were outlawed, the Man told me good luck. It was do or die, so I slowly entered the ring. The crowd wasn't too surprising, everyone wanted to see someone get beaten in the arena. When I appeared, the announcer started to well, announce, the match.=

Announcer- Here we have it folks! A new comber in the Arena, no one knows where he came from, or who he is, but he sure looks dangerous! On the other side of the Arena, is a Veteran dueler! Will this will turn out to be an interesting match? Or will it be a fast, and brutal gake? Lets get ready to go!

Jeremy-
=When the buzzer rang to start, I quickly pulled out my stun blaster and tried to avoid any of the lasers flying at me, I shot a few rounds, and missed. One of the lasers hit my leg, and it burned, but it was a stun blaster, it didn't hurt enough to stop me though, and after a few more rounds, I hit the man in the leg and chest. He looked pretty bad, but it didn't stop him.=

=The announcer constantly rang out describing every shot, move, and failure in the ring. It was a long duel, and to be honest, fun. The match was almost over, and the last shot hit him near the heart, and he fell over unconscious. The announcer rang out over my victory, but it was nothing special, I still had a long way to go.=

=I look at the jedi.=

"Yes. Imperial E-11 Rifles, by the sound of it. Probably Stormtroopers. More are likely on the way as backup. Aren't you glad we're on the same side?"

=It was true, I knew my blasters. I'd been shot at enough.=

=I then continue my running gunfight down the street=

Let's see: Resisting Arrest, Murdering a Government Official, Disturbing the peace, and Possesion of an Illegal Firearm...yeah that about sums up the list of charges

=I then continue to run, and then take cover in the doorway of what looked like a boarded up apartment=

Ancestors protect me...

=I then see more Stormtroopers come down the street, and fire at them from my current cover=

Here's hoping my luck doesn't get ANY worse...

=He sees a Human dive into the doorway and nearly draws his lightsaber. He instead examines him for a few moments before Speaking=

Trouble with the Law?

=I turn to see a masked man with a lightsaber=

Jedi? Terrific, as if I hadn't run into enough trouble...but I should be grateful

Yeah, you could easily say that.

=I then take a couple of more potshots at the Stormtroopers=

=He goes over to the Window and lifts the piece of Metal covering it slightly, just enough to see out into the street=

Well now that you've brought their attention, I suppose we should do something about them.

=I took a thermal Detonator from my belt, and drew one of my pistols.=

"Exactly how many are chasing you?"

=I risk a peek from my cover as blaster bolt goes by my face=

From the looks of it...I'd say about four or five very ticked off Stormies.

=I then get back into cover to avoid a flurry of blaster fire, then take another peek from my cover=

Correction, make that a DOZEN very ticked off Stormies.

=I activated the thermal detonator in my hand.=

"Cover your ears."

=I threw it into the middle of the stormtrooper squad, a blaster bolt impacting into my armoured shoulder, but not harming me.=

=I put my hands over my ears to deafen the sound=

Please don't die now...please don't die now...

=I wait for the sound and blast wave to come=

=The resulting explosion was... loud.
Still, it did it's job and killed the stormtroopers.=

"You can get up now."

=I holster my pistol and dust myself off=

Thanks. I really needed that.

=He re-covers the window with the metal plate and stands, facing the other two in the room=

Now it seems we do not have much of a choice but to leave. Any suggestions?

=I look to either person in the room=

Well, does anyone have a ship to get offworld?

=I then state a solution of my own=

Because I happen to have a ship of my own at the spaceport nearby.

I dont have any transport of my own.

=He looks over at the Bounty Hunter=

What about you?

=I shook my head.=

"No. Looks like were using yours."

=I say, looking at the other person.=

=I peek out the door=

Let's move it then.

=I gesture them to follow me=

Because right now, our Imperial guests are busy playing crowd control.

=I head out the door and up to the upper level to get to the spaceport=

=He follows the new guy closely to the upper level=

=I Followed the other two, blaster in hand, resting my other on the hilt of my vibroblade.=

=I make my way to the upper level, eying the spaceport=

=I then turn to my two companions=

Just follow me and let me do the work. We've attracted enough attention already.

=Nods and follows, being sure to keep any indication of Jedihood carefully hidden=

=I headed up and beckoned them along, and made it to the gate, the portmaster greeting me=

Portmaster: I see you have guests...that'll be extra.

=I hand the portmaster a sizable amout of cash credits=

Here's some credits my good man...and I'll give you extra if you keep your mouth shut with the Imperials.

Portmaster: Fine by me...anything for an honest smuggler.

=I slip him a few more credits and he ushers us through=

=I look back to my guests as we make it to my ship=

Welcome aboard. Next stop, anywhere but here.

=I then proceed to fire up the Lucky Runner's drives=

=I remove my helmet, letting my mid-length hair fall down.=

"She's a nice ship."

=I look at the Mando=

Thanks. The Lucky Runner is a gift my father left me in his will, bless his soul.

=I start taking the ship up=

Be aware, my ship is quite tempermental. Her hyperdrive tends to fail me at the worst time.

=I give the instrument panel a loving tap and begin ascent=

By the way, you and your companion might want to strap yourselves into the crash seats. This might get a bit rough.
