The other, however, she could not determine what it was.

    She would find out soon though.

    "Hunter, we landed on the port side. What's your status?" Echo asked, his voice ringing through Malaina's comm.

    "Omega and I are by the engine, and we've got company." Hunter responded.

    "I'm almost back at the Marauder." Malaina chimed, stopping to duck behind a large metal scrap to assess the situation. Eight clone troopers all standing out in front of the ship.

    "We'll all meet you there, Mal." Hunter said, ending the conversation at that so he could focus on fighting off the company he and Omega had.

    Malaina rose back up, walking casually towards the clone troopers. They immediately pointed their blasters at her upon noticing her presence.

Malaina held her hands up, showing she was unarmed. "Before you shoot, you should know I'm a valuable asset to Emperor Palpatine. He would have all eight of your heads if you kill me."

    "Get on your knees." One of them ordered, gesturing with his blaster to try and coerce her into the action.

    Malaina raised her eyebrows. "No thanks, I'm already interested in someone." She replied, smiling at her own words. She didn't talk like this until after she got away from Arkanis.

    "Get on your knees, now!" The reg said strongly, beginning to approach her.

    Malaina sighed, getting down on one knee. "You should work on your intimidation tactics, trooper." She commented, watching him get closer and closer.

At the right second, her hand flew up and grabbed his wrist, tugging it down to get the barrel of his gun out of her face. While standing back onto both feet, she wrapped her other arm around his neck, tugging his back into her chest.

    "And you should work on assessing your surroundings better, M'lady." A new, definitely not clone voice says from behind Malaina.

She turned around after knocking the clone trooper unconscious and was immediately met with the sound of a blaster going off, and then a strong searing pain began to grow on her stomach.

Malaina let out a shout, mixed with both surprise and pain as she met the eyes of a man with blue skin, red eyes, and a cowboy hat.

    A bounty hunter.

    As much as she hated to admit it, that blast affected her a lot more than any of the other ones she had taken before. Why? Well because before she had the Force, which she used to help alleviate the pain until it healed.

Unfortunately now she was drugged and couldn't use the Force, and she felt nothing but pain that began to make her ears ring and legs begin to wobble.

    Stay awake and fight. Malaina grunted in pain, reaching to her belt to grab her vibroblade. Her hand was shaky. Stay awake and fight.

    The bounty hunter shot down the other seven clone troopers without sustaining a single injury. He moved so fast Malaina could barely register what he was doing in her current state. But she was sure he shot the clone she had knocked unconscious.

She fell to her knees, one palm resting on the ground to hold herself up.

    And then he tutted at the knife Malaina held so hard her knuckles were white. "What are you hoping to do with that, pretty lady?" He asked, his long blue finger resting over the trigger of his blaster again as he held it up to her head.
