Master Sorni and her new traveling companion moved through the tunnels beneath the temple, ever so often a large tremor would shake the walls around them as an explosion from something somewhere occurred within the temple. They were fortunate in that they had not run into any patrols scouring the tunnels yet. Though they did hear them, the orders being called out in the distance, the occasional blaster bolt cutting through the silence like a hot knife through butter, the occasional scream cut short. But the Jedi Master pushed on, not daring to look behind them. She just continued to follow the tunnels downwards towards the cargo bay, hoping that their luck wouldn't run out. She turned her head and looked at the young Padawan; Erin. Master Sorni couldn't even begin fathom what must have been going on in her head, but she had to the girl credit where credit was due, she was holding herself together fairly well, that took courage. She would of made a great Jedi.... she would still make a great Jedi as long as they got out of there. It was then that she heard something coming down the tunnel, the sound of boots running in hot pursuit. The Jedi Master looked around before grabbing Erin by the shoulder and yanking her flat against the wall, putting a hand to her mouth urging her to be silent.

It was then that the young boy came into their sight sprinting down the hall panting. He looked to be barley fifteen years of age his brown padawan robes tattered and torn. Moments later a blaster bolt came rushing down the hall slamming into the boys back and sending him face first into the ground. He was still moving, crawling trying to inch his way forward and then another shot rang out hitting the boy again, and his body went limp against the ground. Master Sorni pulled herself off of the wall, letting out her held breath as she peered her head up the tunnel. A squad of clones stood peering down the hall, the light fixtures on their helmets cutting through the darkness as they peered about for more survivors. Though the Jedi Master was more concerned about the two beasts the clones were holding on leashes. Large canine heads, with strong jutting jaws, dark skin with rippling tensing muscles underneath, long whip-like tails. Vornskr..... And the beast had just sensed them letting off vicious growls and straining against their restraints. Their clone handlers leaned down to release them as Master Sorni turned towards Erin and gave her one simple order.

"Run!" 

And that was what the two of them did, as they bolted down the tunnel, using the force to augment their speed. Blaster shots came screaming down the hall after them, the gnash and growl of the Vornskr as they chased after them. They barreled down dark tunnel after tunnel, soaring by corners and trying to get away. But they had no such luck as the squad kept hot on their trial. They had kept up this game of cat and mouse for around five minutes when the Jedi Master heard something behind them. Another large tremor shook the tunnel, this one more violent the last throwing Master Sorni and the Padawn to the ground. As she scrambled to her feet, her ears ringing, she saw Erin a few feet away. She got up to meet her and that was when the ceiling came crashing down between the two of them, blocking Erin's path backward and her path forward. Master Sorni coughed as dust was kicked up around her. She heard the clones and the Vornskr, they were getting closer and closer. The Jedi Master called out to the Padawan, who she could hear coughing on the other side of the rubble.

"Erin! I'm going to need you to keep on moving towards the Cargo Bay! I'm going to find another way around, and will meet you there!" Master Sorni did not wait for a response as she turned around and grabbed her lightsaber that somehow was still attached to her waist. She ignited it as she heard growls coming from behind her, the Vronskr had reached her first, The two beast approached her slowly, growling the sound deep and menacing coming from the back of their throats. One of them jumped at her, they were fast very fast. It's jaw was open and it aimed straight for her neck. She leaped to the left as she swung out with her lightsaber, slamming hard into the ground as she heard a yelp. She looked and a few feet away the Vornskr landed it's right front leg and shoulder cleaved straight away. It growled and still snapped its teeth for another minuet thrashing about before it stopped moving. But the Jedi Master had little time to savor her victory as she got to one knee, the other Vornskr lunged slamming straight into her and knocking her lightsaber out of her hand. She lay flat on her back, her two hands wrapped around the beasts hand as they struggled in a deadly game of tug of war as it tried to rip out her throat. The beast was stronger then her, and even if she could hold it back its large claws were tearing into her chest and stomach as they struggled. She was on the losing end of the fight, if they fought just physically, but she had something the Vornsker didn't. She concentrated as she pushed her arms upward as the two struggled, and a large whoosh was heard as the Force rushed against the beast straight in the head launching it upward as it slammed into the ceiling of the tunnel. The Jedi Master slowly pulled herself to her feet as she reached around the ground for her lightsaber, the Vornsker was not down yet, it was just winded as it slowly got it's feet. It lashed out with its barbed tail as a lightsaber came roaring across connecting with poisoned tip and severing it. Master Sorni stood their face bloody and covered in dust illuminated by the glow of her lightsaber. The Vornsker roared in challenge and in pain, the two stood Master Sorni in a defense stance as the beast lunged through the air....
The lightsaber connect with the torso of the Vornsker and cut cleanly through it, the two halves dropped to the ground as Master Sorni disengaged her light saber. 

Panting, and clutching her torso, the claw marks stinging and roaring with pain she had little time to do much of anything as she heard the clone squad come closer. She was in no shape to get into any more battles, she could still move but even basic blaster defense would be a death sentence for her right now. She turned around facing the rubble as she looked for a way through and that was when she saw it to her left another maintenance door. The sounds of the clones were getting closer as she slammed her shoulder against the door once, it budged but not too far, and then a seconded time were it cracked open a bit, she could see the lights from their helmets in the distance, and she threw herself against it one more time and the door flew open as she stumbled into the room. She turned around and quickly slammed the door shut, lookng for something to barricade it, she saw an old supply cabinet on the wall. She raised her hand and concentrated on it before yanking her hand downward, and the cabinet tilted and fell over slamming down in front of the door barring the clones way for now. She heard their shouting and she tried to remain as quiet as possible, it seemed to have taken a year but they finally moved on back the way they came, their sounds retreating further and further into the distance. The Jedi Master fell to the ground laying on her back, as she caught her breath. She looked around the small room which appeared to have been a small office, or checkpoint of somewhere. On one of the walls across from here though was a steel container with a red symbol across it.... A medical kit. Master Sorni crawled across the floor, and reached up the wall pulling the kit down. She opened the contents, there was not a lot, but it was enough to get her moving again barely at least. As she began to prepare to do some field medicine she let out a sigh as she muttered to herself.. 

"Let us... never do that again.."
