STARLIGHT Beautiful Hostage (Episode 8)

Panic covers the once enjoyable field. Guests start to run spreading in all directions. Chiss Agent quickly throws a flash granade in front of Jag, blinding him, and Agent disapears from the sight. (Zemalia Force Sense Success) Zemalia could sense multiple life forms coming from the left side where is balcony and windows. Nothing is visible with eye but something is there. It was an imperial ship cloaed with power generator. And with empire's advanced technology, it remains hidden even during fire. And that's what it does, it starts shooting at the VIP section with high rate of fire, breaking through the glassy windows, towards Diva's direction. Her bodyguards react quickly and move her out of the spot but the fire follows after them and kills her bodyguards. This separates Diva from others, and sith assassin jumps off the ceiling behind her, and in front of Barracudas, activating red lightsaber. The ship from outside fires a missile that hits in the floor between assassin and Barracudas, but closer to Barracudas, creating a hole in the floor, and throwing Barracudas away (no damage just cinematic). Soon other agents land down via cables from the ceiling. Sadaria screams now having where to run as she is being surrounded, so she runs with bare feet towards the balcony. She was too close to the enemy ship so they could no properly aim at her. Sith assassin runs after her and the race ends up on the outside surface of the Galaxy Star. Diva hops over the balcony's fence and quickly moves against it until she ends up against walls behind the building on a very tinny surface that keeps her to fall off the bottomless looking building.

Barracudas soon recovers and activates her other lightsaber. Using the force to boost her speed, passing the area where the agents crashed inside she starts to cut down every agent she encountered, making her way towards the Diva. Seeing another imperial party coming through a side window, she seems them being pushed back, plumeting to their death, thanks to Zemalia. Following her example she force pushes a group of other agents through another window. Putting herself between the assassin and the Diva, she calls out to him/her. "If you want to hurt her, you will have to go through me first."

As Zemalia uses Force powers, she is being detected by the assassin. As the sith assassin runs after Diva, he glances over his shoulder back at Zemalia, then he activates his red lightsaber and goes with it thought the balcony's pole. The pole is cut in its base, and sith assassin uses the force to redirect its falling towards the people on platforms beneath. Assassin doesn't hold he keeps running after Diva, jumping over the balcony fence as well.

With letting pole fall down and pulling down the hostile ship as well, many dozens of people beneath VIP section on the platforms die in terrible deaths. They tried to escape dangerous falling from the top of building, but they couldn't be fast because of other people that create mass of several hundreds, blocking their way out of dangerous zone. Ship crashes down and explodes, sending metal sharp pieces into random direction killing few more people. Witnesses point to the top of Galaxy's Star and those who are closer to it run for their lives. Many people cry for their lost ones, those who survived are wounded and those who are on safe distance are just talking about it while still trying to see what is going on on the top Galaxy Star.

Barracudas just follows the assassin cringing at the devestation that the crashed ships caused.

Twisted Zemalia appears behind Zemalia, and only Zemalia could see and feel her. Twisted Zemalia lays down her cold hand on Zemalia's shoulder "You said you will be ready. You lied!" And Twisted Zemalia disappears into nothing, laughing in an echo that slowly fades away.

When Jag's sight recovers, he opens his eyes and looks at the VIP room, it turned into battlefield, and it used to be such enjoyable place... He pushes DJ equipment and moves in a parallel with direction of Diva's movement, but him not approaching the balcony, instead using the halls inside the building. Agent fall down from the ceiling shooting at him, his shields absorbing all the damage. He is still walking, trying to ignore as much agents possible to reach Diva. When first agent crosses his way, Jag blasts him with his shotgun in right arm, hitting the agent in chest, sending him few meters flying into a wall. Jag keeps walking straight, without carrying if he killed the agent or not, holding his shotgun in one hand, he reloads it with that one hand by simply moving his arm up and down. He fires again at the door and destroys its console, forcing doors to open. With his free hand he grabs his helmet and takes it off, then bull rushes through the hall, hitting few agent assassins on his way, knocking them off. He turns towards his left side to see Diva through the window and speeds up into sprinting until then turns left and blasts down the window, creating entrance for Diva into the building. He waits for her to pass by so he can pull her in when she is in reach.

Diva moves near that window were Jag was waiting and he was able to successfully catch her for arm and pull her in. At first she was afraid and started to scream, but then she saw it was republic soldier so she felt relief. "We have to move towards the roof I have shuttle there." Diva suggests to Jag and offers her hand.

Jag places his helmet back on head and takes Diva for hand so that she can lead him. "We will be away from civilians. We cannot go back or we will lead the hostiles towards innocent people. I am afraid that you are right, Vigilance Beacon is currently not option."

Diva leads the vanguard with running steps, looking back to see if she is still being chased. The sith assassins jumps inside through the same window and with it line of sight between him and Ceiviran is now broken. Diva and the Vanguard arrive to the elevator, and when it opens, there she was, Lianna Tak, the reporter with flying camera. She did not have a reservation nor access to the VIP section, so she sneaked in to side ways, even climbed over some walls just to get a story. Sith assassin enters the same hall and moves towards his target.



"Welcome back Citizens of Coruscant! I am Lianna Tak and you are watching The Coruscant Evenings! Live! After surprising attack on Galaxy Star building, an Empire ship crashed down to the platforms and killed many innocent people. The exact number of victims is still unknown, and cameras catches many disturbing views, which you will be able to see tomorrow if you stay on the same place in the same time. And now we have opportunity for a live interview of the beautiful and the only one SANDARIA KEM!" Camera zooms Diva and Vnaguard in, they appear all over the Coruscant planet on big screens attached on streets as well as in many homes. "Please tell us how does it feel when you run for your life from assassins while you have blood on your hands of many fans who came here to see you tonight!?" Camera shows assassins in distance for a moment and then zoomz in Diva's face. Diva had a difficult choice to make, stay out of elevator where she will be killed or enter the elevator and survive the reporter's attacks with questions. She hides her face from the camera with her free hand and leads the Vanguard inside the elevator, then closes the door and uses controls to send elevator up to the roof. Before the elevator started, a red beam from assassins lightsaber enters the elevator, missing everyone, but trying to cut the door open to enter himself. Elevator finally starts moving and the group inside are unharmed. Camera captured this and the public reacts with emotions of this live scene.

Jag enters the elevator and pushes the flying camera away with his hand to make space inside the elevator, joining the reporter. He moves close to the wall to not be caught with lightsaber, and when the elevator starts, he sends message to his crew letting them know about the plan and location where they are heading.
