Emeric came bursting through the doors to the seedy bar that Lianna was sat in. The bartender did not grumble, for the pair knew that bursting through doors, often with more force than was required, was a bad habit of the Twi'lek that now stood, bathing in the sunlight and casting him into shadow.
"I'll send you the bill." Jabfess uttered as he moved out of sight. The few patrons that also sat about knew that was their cue to leave too. Some pushed past in anger, but they knew they would not be served again until his business had been complete. Lianna stood up and a wave of fear pulsed through her entire being when she saw the look of terror on her master's face.
"We have a problem, but the look on my face and the look on yours means you knew that already. The kyber crystals are gone, and there was a rival gang there, all slaughtered...by a lightsaber."

Lianna turned away from him before breathing in deeply. A lightsaber meant only one of two things, Vader or his apprentice. Either one was a death sentence if she were to be found, which is why she knew exactly what would be said next.
"You know we have to run. There's a ship waiting to take you to another planet. A few of us will stay behind and obfuscate your disappearance to try and throw them off your trail."
The girl couldn't even argue, she was too scared to even put up her usual toughness, it had all but swelled up with the images of a lightsaber cutting her in half.

A short time later the two had arrived at a remote shipyard. Awaiting was what seemed like an ordinary human pilot with little more than a blaster pistol at his waist.
"This man has been paid enough to get you far away and not ask any questions about it. If we're lucky Vader will find me and chase me instead thinking I'm the one the crystal is seeking."
The pair approached the man and Lianna gave her old friend a saddened look as she climbed into the ship's hold.
"You know what to do." Emeric spoke, trying to keep his courage.

"I do." the man said, reaching for his pistol. He fired a blast at Emeric who barely dodged it in time. Lianna let out a furious yell as the man hammered a button on his wristwatch that sealed the door of the ship. Desperately she hammered the door, but it was to no avail. She could hear the sounds of fighting outside and a few choice words of 'Vader', 'insanely rich' and 'force'. How this bounty hunter had discovered their secret she did not know, now her thoughts were consumed only with escape. She ran to the cockpit and desperately searched for the button to open the door. The sounds of the conflict outside seemed to get only louder, though she could not see as the cockpit was facing the wrong way. Soon enough she found the magic button and opened the door, racing to go and help her friend.

The two men were locked in a fierce hand-to-hand fight, each one trading hard blows and bleeding in several places.
"THAT FORTUNE WILL BE MINE!" the hunter screamed as he punched the Twi'lek square between the eyes. Emeric recoiled and lifted his hands to defend himself as the bounty hunter charged at him.
"NO!" came the low guttural roar from Lianna. In that moment something strange happened. Something ancient stirred deep within her, something she knew felt powerful, but dangerous at the same time. It was the same thing she felt when she awoke from her nightmares, but this time it felt like it was her ally. A wave of force came hurling from her extended arm and slammed into the charging human. It pushed him backwards and down and there was a sickly sound of his skull cracking on the hard ground. Blood seeped out of the open wound and Lianna could only look on with horror. She had killed before, but not like this. This was something new, something she did not understand, could not control. The sense of terror that had been building all day seemed as if it might wash her away into a sea of never ending despair.
