A flying black sedan roars down towards Luci, and she falls inside and collapses, taking deep gasping breaths. Lyon is driving and Klowdy is riding shotgun. Luci looks around hurriedly for Moss.
"He's OK," says Klowdy, following her gaze. "He's following the van. The one with the green check mark, right?" he asks, as Luci nods. He hands her a canteen of cold water which she gulps hurriedly. The radio crackles.
"Northbound on IT-34," comes Moss's static-laced voice. Lyon swerves into oncoming traffic and off the sky-highway, landing with a thump on the sky-highway below. He roars through the entrance to Teir-4, catching sight of Moss riding a commandeered hover-bike. Moss points at the vans, swerving through traffic, but the green check mark is distinct. Luci hears a very loud whooshing sound and the car is bathed in light. She hears a voice.
"Pull over!" screams a voice through the megaphone of a hovering gunship. Luci can see sirens wailing through the traffic, and similar spotlights tracking the white vans. Neither the vans, nor Lyon, seem to have any intention of complying. Lyon floors it while Klowdy leans out the window and fires a shot with his longbow, piercing the tire of a van and causing it to skid off the highway and crash into a bus stop. The gunship opens fire.
Apparently there is a joke in Coruscant; how many storm-troopers does it take to screw in a light bulb? 1001. One to put in the new light bulb, a thousand to shoot out the old one. Luci understood it to mean that storm-troopers and servants of the empire had poor aim, or never seemed to hit their targets. Luci no longer believes this is true.
Luci phases through the car and out into the open air as a line of fifty-caliber bullets tear through the sedan. She exhales and is caught quickly by Moss on his hover-bike. Klowdy manages to open the door and dive out at the last moment, cracking the windshield of the car behind him.
Lyon takes three fifty-caliber bullets to the back and swerves off the highway.
***
Luci understands why Moss chooses to go tearing off after his friend. She understands, even he dips his hover-bike towards the edge of the highway, why he is doing it. She believes she can honor Lyon's memory another way.
Luci hops off the hover-bike and onto the hood of a moving car, then immediately jumps onto the roof of another car, then takes a deep breath and phases through the roof of a white van with a big green check-mark on it, coming face to face with the weapon she has come to hate so much. It is of simple design; two of the tubes they stole last night hooked to the glowing blue orbs they are stealing today, but the damage they have caused is incredible.
This time the orc is ready, and simply cracks off a shot of his glowing blue fire as soon as Luci appears. Luci, however, is very fast, very quick. She rolls as she hits the ground, and the fire only singes her hair. The orc fires another blast, this time causing one of the boxes to fall and the glittering electrical orb to smash and burn another hole at the bottom of the van. Luci smiles, and grabs and hurls one of the orbs at the orc.
Blue fire momentarily engulfs the gun wielding orc, causing him to crash into the driver, and causing the driver to swerve and clip the bumper of the car in front of them. The burning orc with the gun is thrown through the open windshield, and the driver smashes his face into the steering wheel and lies motionless. Luci, for her part, cannot phase in time to avoid smashing into the back seat.
Luci shakily makes her way to her feet. A line of rainbow blood drips down her head. Groaning, she shoves the orc out of the drivers seat, ignoring the sirens and lights. She buckles up as Moss and Klowdy float down gently beside her on the hover bike. They jump in, Klowdy needing some help. He's cut up and breathing raggedly. Moss has a glassy quality to his eyes. Luci starts up the protesting van and starts driving doggedly towards the entrance of Tier-5.
As she dips through the traffic she hears the voice from the gunship again. "Pull the ever-loving fuck over or we will open fire!" it screams, sounding incredulous. Luci screeches to a halt in the middle of the highway; in front of them the entrance to Teir-5 is barricaded with big metal gates and armed police out front. Behind them is a fully armed, trigger-happy gunship.
Klowdy breathes heavily as he asks "So, got a plan?"
