Vanelli ran out of an alley, dust flying up from her boots as she skidded into a turn down the main street. The sounds of the battle grew louder as she raced into the promenade.

“Kill the Twi’lek!” shouted a voice from behind her. She had gotten ahead of the troopers she was chasing and now they were opening fire on her. Vanelli drew her lightsaber and continued to run, deflecting any bolts that came too close.

“She’s a Jedi, spread out!” shouted another trooper, as Vanelli ran further into the promenade. “Don’t let her get away!” Vanelli found herself at the fountain, in the middle of the promenade. Thankfully, the haze and their distance wasn’t helping the aim of the Sith troopers any. She pulled a CryoBan grenade, one she had acquired from one of the fallen Sith troopers back in the alley, from her belt pouch. She threw the grenade and gave it a little push with the force, sending it towards the troopers. The blaster fire slowed, apparently the Sith troopers hadn’t spread out enough.

Vanelli ducked and continued her run across the other side of the promenade. She skidded to a stop in front of the doorway, the blasters of the Zabrak and human leveled at her.

“Waylond? Trooper?” asked the surprised Twi’lek as she looked from the Zabrak to the human. She did a double-take at the blood dripping from the trooper’s mouth and shrugged, it clearly wasn’t his.

“I hope those aren’t friends of yours,” said Vanelli as she gestured in the general direction of the Sith troopers, as she turned and deflected an incoming blaster bolt into the ground.
