"I know Harry, I'll meet you someplace inside I supposEE!" Her mental words cutting off as she concentrated on her physical environment, her lightsabers flashing up to block incoming blaster bolts.

Several more of the guards had responded to the emergency klaxon from the first few, rushing down into the prison cells. At the sight of a Jedi Knight, after all, if you someone had a lightsaber in your hand their hand you didn't take the time to notice the individual's age, they began to fire immediately shouting, "Jedi! She's free, call for backup!"

Aayla crouched, her lightsabers flashing in front of her in an intricate defense, and then Harry said a few words, while still giving of his own power. Aayla had known for years that Harry was far and away more powerful than she was in the Force, it was only now that she was realizing just how much so.

She wasn't jealous about it, the very idea was unthinkable. How could she be, when Harry was so selfless with what he did with it and how much he gave of himself? But at the moment the words in Aayla's mind mattered almost as much as the power thrumming through her. "Mum says that we can start showing off now."

"Yes!" Aayla caroled aloud, and more than one guard exchanged a glance hearing it over the sound of blaster bolts and sizzling hum of her lightsabers. They didn't have long to wonder what it meant though, as Aayla reached forward with the Force. A Force Shield appeared defending half of her body and she gestured with her other hand. Suddenly blasts of air flew from her outstretched hand, impacting with bone shattering force, followed by tiny fireballs hurling several of the guards backward with screams of shock.

Aayla advanced down the corridor, her lightsabers still flashing occasionally to batter back blaster bolts, but using your Force powers now just as much. She couldn't concentrate on more than a few attacks at the same time, but her lightsabers and her Force Shield kept her safe, with Harry's power to tap into the shield didn't even take any power at all. This allowed Aayla to concentrate on her offense, much to the detriment of the guards facing her.

That was until someone had the bright idea of activating the prison cells cellblocks robotic defenses. Aayla turned quickly, her lightsabers flaring out either side of her as a quad laser on top of a small pintle mount in the ceiling opened up on her. She summoned up another shield then hurled that shield forward, slamming into the people of the far end before redirecting the blaster bolts with her lightsaber back to the laser in the ceiling. It flashed, flared then died, and she quickly turned racing a way as two more popped up from high up on the walls.

A second later she was in among the guards, her lightsabers cutting them into pieces while she used their bodies to protect herself from the quad lasers and summoned up several small rock shards sending them back towards the lasers. A moment later, Aayla was clear for now, but she could already hear the trump of many feet towards her. "This is going to be a long day," Aayla muttered, before centering herself in the Force once more, moving forward resolutely.

OOOOOOO

Harry kept up a running commentary of what was going on as the ship zoomed through the atmosphere towards where he was pointing. They took a while to actually find the palace, it blended in with the surrounding mountain so well and there was a bit of a sandstorm going on at present as well. Fay however dealt with the sandstorm, reaching out with her Force powers to gently shunt it around the palace, though the effort was rather power consuming. That much air and controlling that much power was very draining over that wide area.

Even as she did so, Dooku noted several antiair guns popping up around the palace, training in on them quickly. Dooku brought the ship down, its heavy weapons, two turbolaser turrets set into the front of the patrol craft opening fire on the antiair weapons. But Jabba's palace also had a shield, which flared into existence a second before the bolts impacted.

The ship and the palace exchanged glances blows for few moments before the ship was down past the antiair gun's envelope. The ship's shields had been pounded flat, and its sides scorched but it was generally intact. A moment later the three Jedi and Lily were outside. The palace's shields however were still up, cutting them off from the entrance to the landing bay.

Several people had come out onto the bay's small observation deck, and began to fire at them, but Dooku almost absentmindedly blocked the blasts with his lightsaber, while Harry did so with some difficulty. This was the first time he'd faced people with blasters with his lightsaber after all. However as the seconds ticked by, he got better at it which Dooku noted with approval.

Fay had no lightsaber and took refuge behind the two other Jedi. But she also was a master of telekinesis. She reached through the shield grabbing the ships inside the docking area, including the massive, and very ugly in her, opinion ship that was probably Jabba's personal yacht. Then she wrenched her hands apart, and suddenly the ships were flying every which way, crashing and blasting against one another people and the walls of the hangar Bay resulting in a massive crashing boom and shriek of tortured metal.

One of the ships smashed into the side of the shield generator, and the shield sputtered and went out, allowing the Jedi entrance. Lily had already zoomed ahead, eager to scout out the territory.

She came back quickly as they moved through the dock, pointing at the entrances one after another. "That one goes up, there looks to be several security positions up there for antiair fire, they were manned, but the troops from them are coming down. This one goes down into some kind of receiving hall, eventually anyway it whines for several stories.
