Company?

[He continues to run, increasing his speed until he's going as fast as he can while keeping track of Obi-Wan's progress. When no reply comes after a few moments he begins to worry. That's when a cultist is sent hurdling off the roof.]

Obi-Wan? Do you need back-up? [As he says it, he's already looking for some way to get up onto the roof.]

[averybadfeeling]

"Nevermind me. One of us has to bring that ship down-"

[Obi-Wan promptly sails into view again- grappling with a Third Party Elite. One hand is locked around Obi-Wan's wrist, keeping his lightsaber from coming to bear. The other is grasping his neck.

Obi-Wan's legs and free hand are all striking and twisting, trying to break the elite's grip on him. The elite slams him against the wall of a building. He kicks off of the wall and headbutts the elite, then transfers the lightsaber to his free hand and severs the warrior's wings.

He slumps to the ground with the dead cultist, extricating himself as they land, and brushes himself off.]

"The roofs were not, in fact, faster."

[neversurrender]

[Despite knowing he should keep running, he stops and watches as Obi-Wan takes down the cultist. He can't make himself leave the other man behind, even though he knows that they need to stop the ship somehow.

Once the cultist is down and he's sure Obi-Wan is alright, he turns and scans the sky for the ship. It was almost upon them now and slowly descending to the ground. But...Steve narrowed his eyes to try and get a better look.]

It's flying past our position. I don't think it's going to hit us--[True to his words, the ship does pass over them. But as it does it drops, large and spherical.]

What is that?

[averybadfeeling]

[Obi-Wan's eyes widen as he sees the item drop.

No.

Oh, no.

That bomb. That couldn't be-

He thought of the stories Luke had told him. A decision born of necessity. A weapon that went beyond death. A weapon that destroyed even the rebirth of this world.

A bomb that Luke had helped to use on the Malnosso.

And he'd walked Steve right into the path of it.

No.]

"Run."

[He turns to meet Steve's eyes.]

"Steve. We have to run. RUN!"

[He immediately begins running at full-tilt away from the bomb, trusting- hoping, even praying if such a concept applied to the Force- that Steve was keeping up.]

[neversurrender]

[He's frozen in place for one long moment before what Obi-Wan is saying sinks in. The other man has already turned around, rushing away in the opposite direction. Steve takes off after him, thoughts a tangled mess. What is that thing? What sort of damage can it do to them?

He thinks about the sheer panic in Obi-Wan's voice and can't help but glance over his shoulder at it one more time. It's gotten closer to the ground now-much closer. He can hear shots still being unloaded at the object.

Then it detonates.]
