Chapter 17 - Arla Fett

We arrive in orbit of Concordia and I guide Jango to the launch room."Step into the launching chamber and get ready." Jango pauses and stares at me." What's happening, what's the launching chamber for?" That's right, I forgot to tell him." We're going to launch ourselves onto the moons surface." I say.

" Oh... WAIT, WHAT!?" "Don't worry, the armor your wearing is capable of atmosphere entry without the use of a ship. It even has a jetpack for controlling the decent." Jango still looks unconvinced."How about this, If we survive I'll give you 500 credits, what do you say."

"Ha, 500 won't be worth it. 1,000 credits and I might consider." He says arms crossed." Alright, deal." He turns to the chamber and stops before the door. Seeing how he's still hesitant I push him in and lock the door." Wait I changed my mind. You can keep your credits let me out."

I ignore his banging and yelling and make my way to the other chamber."Stop whining, all you gotta do is follow the instructions Ares sends to your helmets hud." Was he like this in the movies?"Launching in 30 seconds..29..28.." I hear Eve counting down and I can't help but feel butterflies in my stomach.

My blood boils in excitement for the coming moments."10...9..." It's time for my first real mission."3...2...1...launch." With the final word of Eve, we are shot out of the ship shooting towards the moon.

I see Jango at my side flailing around, trying to regain control of himself. I glide towards him and catch him to help him adjust." Keep your arms to your side and lean forward. You can use your jetpack to adjust your trajectory." I say over the comms in our helmets.

"Yah..yah thanks." We quickly approach one of the mining facilities. As we get closer we activate our jetpacks in short bursts to slow our decent. I land fine and pull out my twin blasters to cover Jangos landing. I hear a loud thud and turn to see Jango land face first into the ground. At least he wasn't falling at high speed thanks to the jetpack.

"You ok." I ask"If you shove me into that chamber again, I'm gonna kick your *ss and feed you to a rancor." I try to stop myself from laughing but it still comes out. "Alright lets go get your sister. And activate you cloak before you forget."

We make our way deep into the mines and pass several deathwatch patrols along the way. We enter a large cavernous room with all kinds of equipment set up. we head towards what looms to be a barracks where several warriors are sleeping.

In one of the beds we see Arla, sharpening her blades. I take aim and set my blasters to stun and fire. She falls to the ground and is out for the count. Jango moves to place a cloaking device on her and picks her up. We race to escape before anyone notices she's gone.

When we arrive on the surface my ship rushes in. Due to the fact that the ship can't remain cloaked while the ramp is open it gets spotted. The sounds of alarms can be heard throughout the facility. We jump into the ship and take our leave as quickly as we can and activate the cloaking field.
