Several more rumbles and explosions punctuate Tel's point.

Permalink

Shitshitshit how does she answer. "Um, Jisa here, can you hear me?" 

Permalink

"I hear you JIsa, where the hell is Ahsoka??!"

Permalink

"I've got her - she's unconscious, though, she nearly got sucked out of the roof. I can try to help instead, what does Ahsoka normally do? - Also is it okay if I let all the air out now, the mage-barrier is really tiring."  

Permalink

Tel lifts the ship in the air, jerking suddenly to the right to avoid a laser blast before accelerating hard.

"Poodoo! Worst timing. Okay, Jisa, it's you mean and me...and DD" Tel adds that after an insistent beep. "We've got three nasties on us, whoever these miners are, they've got good equipment. I need to you destroy them. We've got a gun on top and gun at the back, pick one and DD will take the other, or use your not-quite-Force- powers. Ahsoka seemed to think you could do a lot, here's your chance to show---Aww poodoo!!" Tel jerks the ship then rolls it several times trying to shake these miserable SOBs.

"What are you talking about let the air out?! Generally, we, need, our, air"

"I mean out of the cargo bay, not the ship! There's a hole in the ceiling and I won't be in range to hold it much longer if you keep moving–" Focus. "I'll take the one out back," or try at least, "are they more vulnerable to fire or lightning?" She holds onto Ahsoka, not wanting the girl to get thrown around during their frantic acceleration. 

Permalink

"What??" Tel shouts as he stretches his reflexes to dodge the stream of laser fire threatening to engulf them."That whole place is set to blow in another minute, don't worry about it! Lightning?! Fighters have heatproofing anyway for re-entry."

What the hell? Lightning? Is the girl a Sith? Oh well, if it helps them survive this...

Jisa grits her teeth and tries to focus on the fighting-ship with her Sight. It would be really useful to be Van right now, she thinks darkly. Or at least to have any nodes within reach. She's unclear on whether their world lacks node-energy entirely or it's just the arid, lifeless moon that doesn't have any.

Still, she can yank enough power out of her reserves for LIGHTNING!!!

THE ATTACKING STARFIGHTER BURSTS INTO FLAMES AND EXPLODES. SHSHWWPHHHWFSDFSFSHLJKKSFHWFSHHFFFBOOOOOM!! 

Permalink

"Aww yeah! Whoever got that, DD, Jisa, good work. Don't rest yet, two more to go." Swerrrve goes the ship under Tel's direction.

Permalink

Jisa hooks another tendril of mage-energy onto the nearest handhold, keeps a firm grip on Ahsoka, and looks around for screens or windows or something to try to find the other two ships, it's not very high-contrast to her mage-sight and she's getting a headache. 

Permalink

Amidst the violent jerking of the ship. Ahsoka moans softly without coming to.

Permalink

A horrendous cracking-fizzing resonates throughout the ship!

"JABBA'S POODOO!! They hit the starboard stabilizers, guys!! Those fighters have to go down now or we're gonna be splat on that damned moon in the next minute."

Tel was actually pretty resigned to his death and felt pretty calm. He knew what he'd signed up for and dying at this point made as much sense any other. Still, he had part to play and he was gonna play it.

"Poodooooo!!!"

Permalink

There's a seat up there with a view of outside the ship and a screen displaying the locations of the attacking fighters. The only problem is that it's up there and Jisa will need to climb to reach it, and she can't do that carrying an unconscious Ahsoka. 

"Sorry," she murmurs, and rather than use mage-energy again, she yanks off her jacket and uses the sleeves of it to tie Ahsoka to a strut, then scrambles up. 

She grits her teeth, selects the fighter that looks closer, concentrates hard - and blasts it with levinbolts until her vision darkens around the edges. 

Was that enough?  

Permalink

A few of the levinbolts make contact but are absorbed by this larger fighter's shields. The rest miss as the ship is moving too fast and on a different plane. The assault continues.

 

Permalink

At least she might've distracted it. Jisa takes a few seconds to catch her breath and then looks for the other one, maybe it won't be so shielded. 

Permalink

The ship Jisa had attempted to destroy moments before burst into fire, heat, and light!! 

Permalink

"WWWWEEEEERROOOOPPPPP!!", cries DD triumphantly up and down the ship's comms.

Permalink

- okay, adorable. 

Also they're one for one now and Jisa is, perhaps, feeling a tiny bit competitive, now that she's slightly less terrified for her life. Her head is hurting quite impressively badly now, but she aims a levinbolt at the remaining ship and pushes

Permalink

Sparks arc across the bow of the remaining fighter but ultimately die down. It continues its barrage against Tel, Jisa, DD, and Ahsoka's vessel.

 

Permalink

"I'm not joking guys, 40 more seconds of this and we're all gonna be one with the Force!!"

Permalink

Jisa tries for another levinbolt but she's near exhaustion; her vision half-blacks out this time and she barely grazes the ship. 

"DD, help - can you do something...?" She gestures wildly. 

Permalink

"Don't worry, I got you."

Ahsoka nudges Jisa out of and maneuvers herself into the dorsal gunner's set. With a startling little and brief finger action, she rotates the gun to lead the enemy starfighter's motion, and fires off three rounds of laser bolts.

"By the way, you tie a mean knot."

Permalink

The remaining starfighter goes:

Permalink

"Thank you." Jisa sags against the nearest surface. She's very relieved. Mostly. She's also a teeny bit resentful, she wanted to get that one, but - well, it's true that she was exhausted and yelling to DD for help, so, good. "Ahsoka, are you feeling all right? You nearly got sucked out the roof hole."
