Chapter 40 - Chapter 40

"Why is it so big?"

That was the first thing that came to mind when Asmodeus stepped out of the airlock and looked 'up'. There was very little gravity and no atmosphere within the broken vessel. At least not where they parked. However, their boots could stick to the ground if necessary. The landing equipment of the T-6 was also similar. They were parked inside of a docking bay that was mostly sealed, so they could give the shields a rest for a while and save a lot of power.

Obviously Kikha didn't come with them. She was barely even conscious now. If they didn't work fast, she might not make it. No matter how strong her will as a Jedi Knight, she couldn't ignore her own physiology completely.

"I don't know. Isn't this just normal for cargo ships and capital ships?" Daesha spent most of her time studying the Force and the Jedi Way. She just barely knew enough to fix a few parts of the T-6 Shuttle.

"Anyway, let's hurry up. Master won't last long. We need to find the crew quarters or the cargo holds. I think the crew quarters are more reliable though."

"Probably in the giant ball." Asmodeus floated over to the nearest gigantic window and pointed at the colossal sphere outside, "Do you think it's better to go around the inside or the outside?"

"I'm not sure." She shook her head inside the glass dome, then looked at the datapad attached to the back of her left wrist like a giant watch on her space suit, "We only have eight hours before we run out of air. That's if we aren't doing any strenuous activities."

"It only takes a few minutes to reach the ball if we just fly over. But I don't know whether our lightsabers can cut through the outer hull. It looks kind of intact? I don't know. You're the expert. I'm just a fucking newbie!"

"Let's go the long way just in case. I'm also a little worried about whether there are any automated defenses…" Daesha explained to the confused boy, "If there are automated defenses on the inside, it'll be geared towards 'people' or humanoid droids. But on the outside…"

 

"Gotcha. Don't wanna get hit with a fucking turboblaster meant to destroy starships! Hahaha~!"

 

"Come on. Be careful and don't let your guard down." Instead of walking, Daesha kicked off the metal ground and held her silver-white lightsaber hilt in her right glove as she floated forward rapidly.

"I'll try not to fuck shit up. Unintentionally." Asmodeus had a blaster in his right hand and black hilt in the left. Floating quickly after his 'wife', carefully observing the thousands of droids scattered around the wide-open hangar bay. Some of the giant land vehicles were still magnetically locked to the ground, but all the B-1s were either curled up in a ball or looked like they were flailing around before shutting down helplessly. There weren't any fighters or transports in this particular hangar bay. Though it's also possible that they escaped before or after the capital ship was destroyed.

"I wonder what happened to them? Pirates?"

"Probably not." Daesha shook her head and looked around after landing on the ground again. She pulled a wire out of her left wrist and plugged it into the control panel for a relatively normal-sized metal door. It only took a few seconds of her fiddling with the datapad on her wrist before the doors opened.

"That's so fucking hot."

She looked back at him in confusion, "What're you talking about?"

"I'm saying that you're really amazing." Asmodeus smirked and gave her a thumbs up with his left hand, then the lightsaber slipped out of his hand and started floating away. So he quickly caught it.

"Pft-haha~!" The Twi'lek shook her head and smiled, "There's barely even any encryption here. I'm just using the Force to guess the passcode. You could do it too if you tried."

"I can't even read and write. How would I know what I'm looking at? I'd just rip the door open or cut it apart with a lightsaber."

"Please don't." She rolled her big green eyes and started walking through the relatively narrow corridor cautiously, "Keep in mind that we're trying 'not' to set off any alarms or defenses. It's also a waste of power to use a lightsaber to cut open a bulkhead door. It's not impossible, just unnecessary most of the time. Usually only a last resort."

"Yes, Master~!"

"I'm not your Master."

"That's not what you said last night, hahaha~!"

"Deus!"

The two of them were chattering casually across open comms. Unaware of the danger lurking up ahead… And all around them.
