[i]Some time later, and the four would arrive away from the city, near the outskirts of Dojoville. Victoria had begun to send out a transmission on a recovered link to this Iota's channel, in the scenario that she was still hidden.[/i]
"If this is Iota, or whatever you go by - I am Victoria Irae. I currently hold your friend, Katya, in my possession outside of Dojoville.
I will free her life, upon these terms of surrender: that you turn yourself in, and-"
[b]BTZZZ![/b]
"What th-"
[b]BTZZZ![/b]
[i]Victoria would yell out in anguish, before falling over, knocked out from the electric shock. The traitor Clone, who had aimed at her first, looked back at her fellow before lifting Katya up.[/i]

Katya would’ve looked up seeing the clone... “Who are you?” She whispers, looking up toward the clone. Meanwhile on the comm, Someone would heard shouting out for Victoria. Backup was on its way...
-
"I told you that you weren't dying, didn't I? You're not getting sold off, either." [i]Charlia.[/i] "Hold still." [i]She would use her blaster, switching it off of it's stun form in order to blast off Katya's bonds. There, she forced the rifle into Katya's hands.[/i] "Go, go! To Dojoville, we're head into the alleys!"
-
Katya nods. “Hugs later? It’s...been too long, Charlia.” She says, grabbing the blaster and made a run for it. Speeders were heard behind the two...the clones were on them.
-
"Yes, hugs later!" [i]Charlia shouted, drawing her pistols as she would focus on whoever was coming for backup as she ran. Her biggest concerns were her range, and Katya's safety.[/i]
-
The two would’ve made a run for it, speeders being heard getting closer and closer...
-
[i]Once they entered Dojoville, Charlia then pulled Katya into an alleyway, pistol raised as she continued to move.[/i] "Quiet. Quiet.." [i]She muttered, waiting to hear the approaching speeders.[/i]
-
Most of the speeders passed them...except for two, which slowed down right before the alleyway entrance. “They’re on to us.” Katya whispered to Charlia.
-
"Quick, then." [i]Charlia would murmur, as she grabbed onto Katya's arm and brought her down a separate alleyway.[/i] "We can't fight them. The best that we can do is disappear, though."
-
“And where exactly would that be? The Dojo’s gains us, the Empire’s destroyed...” Katya states to Charlia, Velinnea and Sun-Rei within chase of the two.
-
"That's why I said disappear, dearest Katya." [i]Charlia would swiftly respond, soon turning into yet another alleyway. She seemed to be maneuvering through the places that she knew.[/i] "Lumen Solis would be our best bet.. there, we can.. live out our lives, or perhaps pursue justice against this Dojo."
-
“Perhaps...” Katya tells them, a blaster shot barely grazing the both of them, as both women giving chase to the two, fired their blaster behind them.
-
"-If you need me to, I can hold them off- [i]Charlia muttered, looking at Katya before pulling her into yet another alleyway. She was getting tired, now. She couldn't run from the two forever, and.. she needed Katya to escape.[/i]
-
The two stopped giving chase, most likely tired as well... They’d probably just got word about grabbing Victoria. “I...I think we lost them.” She had told Charlia, laying down on the ground, tired. It had been a while since she had to run, much less fight.
-
[i]Charlia would only descend into silence, then, heaving with a quiet panting. She would kneel down, watching the alleyway's entrance intensely before sighing. She would turn back to Katya, shaking her head before hugging her.[/i] "...I got there too late."
-
“I...I know. But I’m here. And alive. And you are too.” Was Katya’s reply, whispering to Charlia as she hugged her a little tighter. “Even if the Empire’s been destroyed here...we still have each other.”
-
"Each other, and.. and each other. That's all I need." [i]Charlia would release a shakier sigh,m then, resting her head against Katya's shoulder silently. She had begun to unstrap the clone armoring, out of fear for tracking systems. She had removed the previous owner's IDs and such in the case of tracking, but just in case.[/i]
-
Katya seemingly held her tighter, tears coming out of her eyes as she did so. “I....I miss you.” She simply stated in between sobs, dropping the blaster in her hand.
-
"Shhh.." [i]Charlia tried to comfort her, bringing Katya even closer to her. She would wipe away the tears that fell from Katya's eyes.[/i] "It'll.. it'll be alright. I swear it." [i]Charlia felt a multitude of emotions, to say the very least.[/i]
-
“Y...Yeah....” was her response, sniffling as she hugged Charlia as tight as she could in her heavily scarred Imperial outfit. “Where do we go now? Maybe the Trayvens could accept us. Might be able to turn their cause into our own.” Katya tells her.
-
"The Trayvens.. those golden lions.. are devilish creatures in hiding. They would not accept us, not if the Dojo found us. No.. we need to leave the Dojo entirely. Not the planet, but.. Lumen Solis is a thought." [i]Charlia muttered, sighing.[/i]
-
“What’s Lumen Solis?” Katya asked, clearly not knowing what the group was.
-
"A city, rather.. secluded. I have.. funds, from a past job. I didn't tell you that I once held a high government position, did I?" [i]Charlia chuckled, nervously.[/i] "A-Ambassador. That place fell apart, but.. I can handle this. I promise."
-
“Charlia...you found me. Rescued me, fought by my side...even shared a few personal things with me. I’d think that qualifies you to be good at whatever you do. And I’ll be right by your side the whole way through.” Katya tells Charlia, a smile on her face as she said this, kissing Charlia lightly on the forehead.
-
[i]Charlia would blush at that, falling silent as her hand would find Katya's cheek. She was surprised, yet.. renewed. Happy. Only for her to clear her throat, as she smiled at the woman.[/i] "...You missed." [i]She would jest, before planting a light kiss on Katya's lips before hugging her.[/i] [url=https://youtu.be/uT44WrZMXaM]1:27 - The track's aptly named "Littlefinger's Kiss".[/url] "...Whatever stands in [i]our[/i] way, whatever comes to halt [i]us[/i].. we [i]will[/i] prevail. [i]Together.[/i]"
-
“...Together.” Katya responds, kissing Charlia fully on the lips, knowing that the two of them would be able to survive in Lumen Solis...no matter what. “I’d never regret meeting you, Charlia.” She tells Charlia, returning to kissing her.
