"Trooper, alert the others that the rogue clones are in the shipyard. Detain them and send them back to Kamino. They'll be taken care of there." Tenth Brother ordered.
Malaina's eyes widened and she glanced to her left at the Marauder, the top of Tech's head being seen from the windshield. "No. I'll go with you willingly if you leave them be." She bargained, raising her hands behind her to grab onto his wrist that was still pulling harshly on her braid.
Tenth Brother breathed out a silent laugh through his nose, blade inching closer to her neck. The heat grew more intense, her skin starting to sweat. "You're coming with me no matter what. I'll carry your headless body back to Arkanis if I have to."
"Wow I'm so scared. Maker have mercy on my soul." Malaina muttered monotonously, nails digging into the visible skin on Tenth Brother's wrist.
Tenth Brother growled, but it was drowned out by the blaster fight that was now going down between the rogue clones and the Empire-loyal clones.
Out of nowhere Hunter flies over the fence, blaster pointed at Tenth Brother. He pulls the trigger, stunning the male Inquisitor before he could even react.
Malaina falls the rest of the way to the ground in shock. "Holy shit. Holy kriff. Holy-"
"How did they find you?" Hunter asks with a glare as he kicks the lightsaber away from the unconscious Zabrak.
Malaina rubs the tender spot where Tenth Brother had pulled on her hair. "I think I was spotted in town earlier. Troops notified the Inquisitors, they dispatched one of the most insufferable ones." She replied, turning to look at the unconscious Jedi hunter. "He doesn't even look peaceful when he sleeps."
"Hunter, we need to get going!" Echo's panicked voice shouts into the comm.
Malaina took a deep breath, scooting away from Tenth Brother as she looked up at Hunter. "I guess I'm free now?"
Hunter looked her over, then scanned the grounds that erupted into battle. "Look, I may not like you, but I'm not a dick. They send one guy, more will just keep coming. Come with us and we'll drop you off on another planet." He offered, holding a hand out to help her up.
Malaina raised an eyebrow at him, bewildered at his offer. "Wh-really? Are you sure?" She asked, raising a hand and grabbing his wrist. He grabs hers in return and pulls her to her feet.
"Get moving." He says in response, his long brown hair whipping around as he turned and began to lead the way over to the Marauder.
Malaina followed swiftly, not sparing another glance at Tenth Brother. He was always one of the dumber Inquisitors, she was lucky it was just him they had dispatched to retrieve her.
Echo and Wrecker were crouched behind crates, shooting up every few seconds to fire back at the white armored clones.
"We have worn out our welcome. We need to go now." Tech says into the comm, the clone still visible from the cockpit of the ship.
"We're here. Our stowaway's been compromised, she's sticking with us a little longer." Hunter replies, briefly meeting eyes with Malaina before jumping up from the crate the two of them had just been behind, pulling the trigger of his blaster and stunning a trooper.
Malaina was silently celebrating the fact that Hunter refrained from using her Imperial identity for the first time.
She's definitely made progress.
Though she still remained without her lightsaber or vibroblade. So Malaina went to her next choice, the Force. Peeking from the side of the crate, she lifted a crate and waved her hand across the squadron of clones, the heavy box full of equipment ripping through the men.
