Justin's reply was cut off as the cell door to the Apprentice's door swung open to reveal a large group of pirates standing there, blasters drawn,<em>Sithspawn!</em>He dove to the side, grabbing the Apprentice in the process, as the space they'd been filling was filled with ruby bolts of energy. As they fell aside Justin reached out to the Force, all pretense of trying to hide gone from his mind,<em>I'll need all my wits to get us out of this one.</em>He scrambled to his feet, quickly taking a mental look at his surroundings.<br/><br/>Roma and the Sith were still at the landing zone, the Force was already starting to crackle between even though they hadn't actually engaged each other yet, there were at least half a dozen pirates outside the door holding position between him and the door to the Senator's children, and further out he could sense more pirates getting closer, but how many and how long until they were here he couldn't be sure.<br/><br/>He spared a quick glance at the Apprentice to be sure she wasn't hurt, "Stay back until I've cleared the entry way, then grab one of the pirates weapons and stay close behind me. We're going to get the children next." He suited action for his words and leapt to his feet, his silver lightsaber blade knocking the pirates blaster bolts aside as he charged the door. He quickly sliced through the two nearest pirates and then sent the remaining four flying out of the entry way with a Force Push and then barred the doorway, fusing the hinges to buy him time to get the children.<br/><br/>He moved over to the doorway that held the children and called out, "Kids stay away from the door, my name is Justin Tera I am a Jedi Knight sent by the Republic to rescue you!" He glanced over toward the Apprentice to make sure she was following his instructions and then started cutting through the doorway.
