Tishr had no doubt that his presence was know after the fourth squad he had eliminated on his way towards the blimp on his com computer following the small tracking computer he had given Slayn coming to a rocky out cropping the single emanating from within one of the caves.
Tishr knew better than to walk into a building without any support or Idea of what was waiting within, but he felt he had little choice, after searching every strangely colored patch of rock he could find he had only managed to find two dead ends and a narrow service shaft. He began wiggling down the very narrow shaft finally finding himself hanging out of a small tunnel three feet off the ground into a small room dominated by computer terminals and a droid turret facing towards the door. Tishr reached down slowly taking one of his vibro knives out of the sheath on his left shoulder prying the top of the droids housing off before cutting all the wires he could find hoping to at least disable the droid. He held his breath a little as he set his feet on the floor next to the droid, feeling a small amount of relief when it made only a small beeping noise, before moving towards the computer terminal on the western wall before beginning the process of slicing the computer system.
Despite the amount of time since he had sliced a computer system he still managed to do it in reasonably short time period quickly searching the camera's system for slayn or any other non-pirates before narrowing his search to what appeared to be a small cell block, and one room he could only see the door on, that was when he spotted two men approaching the computer room.
Tishr moved to the left of the door crouching low down with his vibro-knives in his hands waiting until the door had closed before striking out at the last of the two men leaving a jagged slice though his throat before moving onto the first, who was in the process of reaching for his pistol when he slid his knives in between his ribs, one of them snapping in the man's ribs as the blade twisted. Tishr dragged both men behind one of the computer terminals though the large pool of blood was fairly obvious before rushing back to the computer station, their disappearance would not go unnoticed forever, unfortunately tishr was having more an more trouble as he attempted to deactivate the droids as numerous security systems blocked the droid systems. He finally gave up after deactivating the two primary droids in the base before he moved of to the power system expecting another fight with the computer and becoming more anxious of the time it was taking, but when he arrived at the power system it didn't even posses a password system, he quickly shut down the power systems as the lights slowly flickered and went out. He quickly activated his goggles before slinking out of the room counting on the verpine gadgets capability to find some wave length to see in any situation.
((Sorry bout the long post I didn't realize it was that long until I got done, also I know I'm probably pushing it a bit much, but my first two ideas where even worse.))

Slayn was placed into a cell block which appeared to be in the back of their base. Then the lights went out and he was thrown inside the cell. Slayn was surprised to see who he thought was a mirage so he blinked a few times to make sure his eyes weren't deceiving him. It was Adara she was sitting on the bed upon stepping forward he was pulled back so that they could remove his energy restrainer. After releasing him he rubbed his wrists.
He stared at Adara for a few seconds still in shock that he was able to see her right in front of him. Slayn walked over to her and placed his arms around her. "Adara please forgive me I-" he got cut off abruptly when she place her finger on his lips. She embraced him from that point and neither of them spoke.
Alarm began to ring as the backup generators turned on and a loud computerized voice came on "Intruder alert!" The men began to scramble to their stations. Slayn didn't have to take a guess on who it was no doubt Tishr he'd be the only one who'd figure out a way to get into the base.
"Adara listen to me carefully. I need to get to the armory to get my things. As of now were sitting ducks, underneath my armor i have a KYD-21 blaster pistol strapped in a gun holster. I always carry it in case i get captured but they don't take my armor off. I need you to grab it for me." Slayn began to take off his chest plate and Adara grabbed the pistol from it's holster. He put his chest plate back on and then grabbed the pistol. One of the guards walked over and yelled at one of the other guards.
"Get these prisoners to the transport ship Cianan wants them killed immediately when we get out of here." They let down the energy field at the entrance of the cell not realizing he had a pistol in his hand. Slayn shot the guard in between the eyes and he dropped upon the blot entering his skull. The second guard was shot in the chest twice which sent him reeling backwards. Now that Slayn was up and fighting it would be a little harder to contain him.
"OK Adara were going to need to get to the Armory. I noticed the two guards carrying my weapons continue walking down the hallway to the right of the cell block area."
"But..."
"Don't worry I'll protect you. lets go!"
'Damn I really could use a grenade right now. Good thing I gave Tish two before we set out on this unexpected journey hopefully he'll take out most of the droids with them.'

Tishr groaned a little as the hum of generators began quickly closing his eyes and deactivating the light amp functions of his goggles, re-sighting down the small optical scope of his carbine blaster before moving down the hall towards the cell block "Backup generators of course they have backups, how stupid do you think they are.." Tishr thought bitterly as he continued to slowly creep down the hall.
Tishr quickly ducked into a small bunk room as a loud skittering crab like noise passed by, he then leaned out of the room quickly destroying one of the many four legged battle droid he had failed to deactivate. quickly continuing down quickly ducking into the armory looking for any more pirates and also taking a moment to grab a heavier light repeating blaster and a few concussion grenades before leaving the room. Before stopping at the edge of the corner just up from the cell block, he removed one of the concussion grenades and readied it before tossing it around the corner towards the sound of heavy foot falls before preparing to turn the corner and attack the disoriented pirates.

Slayn grabbed Adara's hand and began to run down the corridor. He ran into a bunch of disoriented pirates it was awkward because it appeared as if a concussion grenade went off. Slayn hit both of the disoriented pirates in the back of the skull knocking them out instantly. That meant Tishr was close. Slayn walked in front of Adara aiming his gun steadily, he didn't know what lay around the corner but whatever it was he at least wanted to be ready for it.

Tishr heard the load "dud" associated with concussion grenades before slinging himself quickly around the corner bringing the light repeater to eye level and nearly jabbed the end of it's barrel in Slayn's pistol.
"Slayn, I expected you to be in that cell,"Tishr peered over Slayn's shoulder spotting the woman following him "I assume you found what you were looking for thats good I'd rather not be here when the Onderan bombers get here or these pirates, mercs, or whatever they are friends."

Slayn was rather surprised to see Tishr come around the corner he was expecting pirates but this surprise was ten times better. "I agree we'd better get moving so let's skip the formalities. So is there a back way out of this place? cause we sure as hell can't go through the front. " Slayn grabbed Adara and pushed her in front of him and handed her the pistol. "Take it and stay in between me and Tish. Alright Tish is there an armory around here?"

"Come on I passed the armor just down the hall," Tishr said has he started down the hall reaching the armory and entering before saying slowly "I hate to say this, but there is only one way out we can use and that's the front door, I came in though the service hatch and while I think I might be able to climb up out of it, I doubt your friend can, or that you'll even fit."

They had reached the Armory before he stated some bad news about the way the had to leave. Slayn was hoping for a solution to this problem but of course their always had to be a though way of doing things. Not only was there only way out was the front entrance he had to protect Adara and get her our safely. In order to do that they had to come up with a plan and fast they couldn't stay in one spot for to long, he was sure the Pirates had noticed them missing already. Then he remembered what Cianan said about John and that he was still alive he was probably within the facility.
Slayn opened a locker then grabbed his Rifle, it felt so good to hold her back in his hands. He then opened another locker that was containing his helmet. Slayn put on his helmet and checked his rifle he was ready to go.
"I see...We need a plan and we need one fast. By the way do you still have those Thermal Grenades I gave you cause if you do we can take down those main droids."

Tishr nodded handing the thermal grenades to Slayn while saying "Here, not that you need them, I deactivated most of the droids when I shut the primary generator down." He sighed before continuing "As for a plan about the best I can offer is that I can climb back up the service shaft and go make a distraction, maybe you can slip out when their all shooting at me."

Slayn hung his head as his choice seemed rather limited and he hated limited choices. "Well I think she is small enough to fit through along with you, look my main objective is to get her out of here. Even if that leads to my death. Tish make me a promise promise me you'll get her out safely." Slayn began to speak as if he were going to do something rash, but could you blame him all he wanted was to save her life and this was his only other option.

"Slayn I'm not leaving you here" said Tishr with all the conviction he had "Think tishr, think you can come up with a plan." he thought raking his brain for several minutes staring at the destroyed husk of the small battle droid laying in the hall.
"Of course" said Tishr quietly before looking at Slayn saying"Follow me." before sprinting down the hall towards the computer control room.

Tishr never gave him a straight answer avoiding it he told him to follow. Slayn of course followed Tishr into a computer room which was down the hall on the right. Adara was close behind him when they entered the room. "What are you going to do we haven't got much time." upon saying that a couple of combat droids came from the far wall it appeared as if nothing was there, but it caught Slayn's Peripheral vision. He quickly raised his rifle and fired at the first one and he knew he wouldn't be fast enough to fire at the second one hopefully Tishr was expecting it.

Tishr was oblivious to the droids, and twisted to see what slayn or adara had fired at only then spotting the droid and the blaster round heading for him. The twist had saved his life forcing the blaster bolt to strike the armored panel on his left shoulder unfortunately his armor was not rated for blaster rifle strikes and while the plate diffused most of the energy it still managed to burrow though searing into his arm and slinging him around back first into the floor.
Tishr quickly aimed his repeater at the droid placing four bolts into it's humanoid torso chassis, before slowly standing up grasping his shoulder and turning towards the computer consul.
"They weren't here before at least there are not very many of them since their not in the computer network those may well be all of them." tishr said pausing a moment as he began using the computer using the hand he had used to stifle the bleeding to type "As for what I'm planing if I can reprogram the droids I shut down we can have them shoot use out of here." he finished as he entered into the droid targeting system.

Slayn watched as Tishr fell to the ground he never expected those droids and now he was injured. 'This is not good' Slayn turned to Tishr "Listen Tish your hurt take the girl the way you came I'll finish up here besides I'm gonna need a lift when we get out of here a fast get away." Slayn took over the control panel from Tishr. He started to reprogram the Droids primary targeting systems and patrol modes to fire at the pirates at the main door. From the security feed the pirates were caught off guard and in disarray.
"OK let move. I trust you Tish take care of it." Without getting confirmation from Tishr he continued with his plan he entered the hallway. Slowly walking down the corridor with his weapon aimed he held his gaze down the barrel.'Hopefully Tishr takes my advice cause we're going to need to get out of here fast.'

Tishr watched Slayn leave before pulling out a pressure bandage and using it to bandage his wounded shoulder. "I hope he doesn't do something stupid." he thought before looking at the girl, "Our exit is the shaft just over that turret it leads out to behind the base you'll follow me, but don't come out until I tell you too, hopefully both of us can climb this." he said before painfully clambering up into the steep shaft before moving up it slowly enough with his injury that there was no threat of Adara falling behind finally reaching the opening to the forest floor. Tishr stuck his head out quickly scanning around before crawling all the way out and reaching down to pull Adara out and beginning to move towards his fighter with Adara in tow.
"Are you just going to leave him there?" he thought to himself. Tishr glanced back at Adara she still had Slayn's pistol and held it like she knew how to use it. Finally Tishr turned around to address Adara "Listen my fighter is just about one kilometer away now," pausing while handing her his light carbine before continuing "I want you to take this and go to it, it's by a lake there is a cargo bay in the back the code to access it is 223-A4 I want you to climb into and lock it you'll be safe there I'm going back to make sure Slayn gets out of there alive, will you do that?" Tishr waited several moments before she nodded in agreement and moved towards the fighter out of sight. Tishr hoisted his sniper rifle hissing in pain as he settled it up to his right shoulder the end of the rifle shaking as he crept back to the base entrance "This is stupid, I can't even hold my rifle, stupid loyalty." he grumbled quietly to himself.

Slayn kept his eyes focused and ready to shot down anything in sight that may lay in wait for him when he turned around the corner. Underneath his helmet beads of sweat trickled down the side of his face. He began to control his breathing as he circled around the corner he spotted two pirates and immediately fired his blaster rifle. Connecting a couple of bolts into the first pirates chest, then quickly shifting his rifle to the left before his next target could fire a round he shot him in the same torso area.
Now he needed to move as quickly as he could but at the same time take cover so that he could at least attempt to make it out the front door and if he did make it out the front door he hoped Tishr was there to get him out of the heavy fighting in the front. Turning the next corner down the second hallway he found a squad of pirates briskly jogging in the opposite direction. He was lucky they didn't notice him even if they did notice him he'd still could take cover behind the corner. Cautiously making his way down to the end of the what seemed like and endless hallway of mazes .
The lights began to flicker looks like the battle at the main entrance was getting intense. Sparks flew from the ceiling lights and walls that ran thousands of wires in them. Slayn's felt the adrenalin rush through out his body time seemed to have slowed. It was the moment of truth his exit was straight ahead his only way out. He grabbed the two remaining thermal grenades pressed the button and launched them toward the door.
He prepared himself for a large explosion, then he got into a stance as if he were about to sprint. Once the explosion went off he dashed for the door. he passed a lot of bodies and droid parts along the way. The primary droids appeared to have made it completely out of the cave fighting the pirates on the out side. 'Damn this is harder then I thought'
Slayn dropped down on his belly he figured he'd be a harder target to hit of he were to crawl and he might be able to get out unseen. He rethought about it and came to a conclusion that it would be impossible to be unseen once he left the cave what was he going to do?

Tishr could see the droids out side of the cave now as he hid behind a large rock, the droids where being forced back slowly but surly by the pirates. Tishr loaded in his last 7 explosive darts gritting his teeth as he raised his rifle before firing four quick shots three landing in the pirates line, but the final one landed just next to the bay door as Tishr almost dropped the rifle. He quickly ducked behind a nearby tree lowering his rifle to take a breath before swinging out to fire his last three explosive rounds.

Slayn still laying on his belly watched as the main droids were beginning to be forced back by the pirates. He almost had no time to escape but when some random explosions began to go off he knew Tishr couldn't be to far away. In the mist of the fighting when the smoke began to play a factor in the moments to come Slayn would make a break for it. Quickly rising to his feet he sprinted as fast as he could out of the cave then toward his right. One of the pirates spotted Slayn and shot a few rounds at Slayn the first couple of bolts missed but the last two drove into his leg. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.
His leg armor was the lightest of the rest of his armor and in fact the blaster rounds burned a hole in his thin armor. Blood spewing out of his leg. He tried to drag himself but his armor would only let him go so far before he began to tire himself out.
The pirate came rushing over to see if Slayn was dead but he found out the hard way that Slayn was very much alive and able to shoot him before he could shoot Slayn. He lay there breathing heavy waiting to die. he couldn't move so if a few pirates were to walk over he'd be a goner.

Tishr saw Slayn hit the ground, but fought the urge to go retrieve him, Tishr knew he'd never survive the volume of fire down there. So, he did the one other think he could think of distract "I hate being the distraction." the thought before swinging out and yelling at the remaining pirates before pumping a full magazine of incendiary rounds into their group and ducking back into the trees as the pirates started firing into the trees covering six heading for the tree line.

As Slayn lay there waiting for his death he heard screaming, Slayn turned his head to see what was going on. The smoke began to clear and the pirates seemed to have been shooting in a different direction altogether. Slayn would make his attempt to escape once again. He twisted his body around using his hand to push off the ground he started to roll. Once he started to roll he couldn't stop he found himself rolling down a hill. 'What a stupid Idea, but I'm alive' he thought as he continued to hit rocks on the way down. He managed to dodge a couple of trees but by mere luck.
When he reached the bottom he was laying in what appeared to be mud. It didn't smell like mud though must have been somethings feces. "Just great I happen to roll in a pile of crap!" he shouted as he sat up.
