The two mares trotted along side each other heading to the docking station where Final had docked her ship and where the Dock master’s office was. As the two mares approached the final corner to the docking platform form Archangel shot up into the air.
“wait where are you going?!” called Final 
“ I’ll get a better view with my sniper from the roof of this building.” Archangel called back “ I’ll have your back just go on with an air of caution.” Final didn’t need to be told twice, she moved stealthily onwards towards the docking master’s office, as she rounded the final corner to the platform she saw her ship still docked on the platform and a deceptively calm office. 
“I’ve got a bad feeling about this.” Final mumbled to herself. She continued her journey to the office. She was moving rather quiet but to her ears each step was like shooting durasteel with a projectile blaster. As she approached the door the deep silence surrounding her made her feel the job was done, that shed only find the dead body of the pegasus dock master. instead as she inched the door open she was meet with a more terrifying sight. The Sith lord stallion had bound and gagged the dock master and was waiting for Final to arrive.the door had only cracked a bit when it suddenly swung open and the Sith lord drew his lightsaber from the holster on his wrist.
“H-how did you know I’d come here?” Final asked her voice quivering with fear.
“ Isn’t it obvious those two goons were a test then I knew if you won the fight you’d come here to help the dock master since its what you goody-two-shoes Jedi do, you interfere with Sith business and then go help pathetic worthless scum like this. And i wanted to see how a young Jedi like you would react to this...” answered the Sith as he raised his saber and swung it down. 

Final has instinctively shielded herself even thought there was at least 10 meters in between her and the Sith, but she realized the attack wasn’t meant to harm her in anyway, at least not physically. The Sith brought down his saber on the gagged dock master’s neck. Final flinched in fear as gore splattered the floor between them. Final had never  ever met Sith but at that time she wished she never did or never would again. as she opened her eyes to the Gorey scene that played out her head spun. she shut her eyes tight sinking to the ground trying to keep her lunch down and stop the world from spinning so violently. 

“Ha-Ha that's all the the Jedi have to offer is a little Filly who can’t even stand the sight of a little gore Ha-Ha this wars is going to be even easier then we first thought.” the Sith bellowed.

From Archangel’s position on the roof she could she the first 5 meters of the room through a window that overlooking the docking station. She had a clear shot when the Sith would move forward to attack Final. What she didn’t expect to see through the window she was watching was a sudden splatter of blood across the floor of the room and she lost sight of Final. Archangel dove off the roof and flew top speed into the window she was watching .

The Sith lord was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of a Meredalorian sniper in the office but he regained his composure quickly.
“ So I see the Jedi now need to hire low end mercenaries to save their skins in a pinch” Said the Sith lord seemingly amused. His body language betrayed him however, Archangel quickly noticed he had taken a defensive stance as if scared that the  Maredalorian could cause him to burst into flame if she felt like it. Archangel drew her Vibrosword ready for a duel.

“do you really expect to beat a me with that toothpick?” the Sith lord asked in a mockery tone.

“ To put it simple, yes my sword has been tempered to the point where even a lightsaber can’t damage it.” Archangel replied quietly. The Stallion started at the calmness of her voice he couldn’t determine if she was bluffing to tried to get him to leave them alone or if her sword was that strong. It wasn’t impossible for people with a lot of money to purchase such blades from skilled blacksmiths. He decided that she was bluffing to save the filly who was cowering in the corner of the room.

“Well then lets just test the effectiveness of that sword.” He said sarcastically. Instead of replying with words Archangel slashed at the Legs of the Sith lord. Caught off guard by the speed that the slash was executed the Sith lord’s parry was slightly off.However, It was not off enough to inflict injury but enough to send his sword reeling backward. The Sith jumped back to regain his composure.He wanted to test the full strengh of that sword the Mare was carrying The stallion launched itself forward to attack the Maredalorian with the momentum of a full charged. Archangel flicked her blade up to accept the force off the blow and to defend herself. The Sith was astounded at the speed of the swordsmare  he was fighting and perhaps more at the fact that a vibrosword could withstand the full powered strike of a lightsaber. He was not surprised that in the first skirmish the blade didn’t break since Vibroswords are extremely tempered normally and can withstand a quick parry from a lightsaber but never a overhead cut with the momentum of a charging stallion behind it.He channeled his ability of the force into a battle meditation. He instintalty saw a possible break in the guard of the skilled swordsmare he was fighting. The sword she carrying weighed a great deal more then a lightsaber and both had about the same power. If he unleashed a series of fast hitting strikes keeping the momentum going striking a different spot each time the Mare would most likely ware out before he did. As the Sith had expected the strikes turned to be more tiring to the Mare then himself. After a long assault the Mare caved and dropped her heavy sword. As the Stallion raised his lightsaber to end Archangels life, a rapid onslaught of blaster shots entered the body of the Sith lord. 

Final dropped her blaster and sank to the ground again still tensed and quivering at the sight  two dead bodies in front of her. The pegasus in front of her whose life she had just saved stared at her in awe.The two remained there for sometime until Archangel got up.Final got up too, completely willing to follow where ever the royal blue peagasus toke her. Archangel trotted over to the body of the Sith lord and toke his lightsaber. She trotted over to Final and handed her the metal cylinder that produced as deadly red blade when ever necessary.

“Let’s get going Final, we should get as far away from Nar Shadaa as possible” said Archangel grimly. Final nodded her head and started trotting towards her ship, the Ebon Hawk.
