Cham shook his head as he landed the TIE fighter-now-cargo ship. He had never seen a TIE fighter able to that before. The First Order probably used it in stealth missions or something, but it was nothing compared to the Shooting Star. Cham sighed, grabbing his Bowcaster as El'ia unbuckled herself.
"Cham... What are we going to do?" El'ia said, grabbing his arm. "We don't have any money. How are we supposed to do anything?"
"I guess we'll just have to rely on Phasma." Cham said, lowering the entrance ramp. "But why he wants us to meet him at some Cantina, I dunno."
The pair of Mirialans walked out of their ship, only to be met with by an armed Trandoshan flanked by two sketchy human. The lizardlike humanoid leered at Cham and El'ia, then hissed in a grating voice.
"We be the collectors of the landing tax." The Trandoshan said.
"Landing tax...? I don't recall a landing tax..." Cham said, his voice steady. His hand rested on his holstered blaster.
"It goes to support local businesses. A real charitable act." The Trandoshan said smugly, smirking at Cham.
"We don't have any money, so scram." El'ia said.
"Well then. We'll just have to pay with something else, now won't we?" The Trandoshan said to El'ia, smiling evilly. The next few actions seemed to pass in a blur. Cham drew his gun and fired, but the Trandoshan was fast. The shot only hit the Trandoshan in the shoulder, causing the lizardlike alien to stagger. El'ia was just as quick as Cham, dropping the human on the right while Cham blasted the human on the left before he could level his rifle. The Trandoshan tried to rush Cham, only for a blast from El'ia to knock the humanoid on his butt. Cham looked at El'ia.
"What?" El'ia asked. "My blaster's got a much bigger kick then yours."
Cham shook his head, then started to head towards the nearest Cantina. Hopefully Zek and his buddy would already be there. El'ia caught up a moment later, shoving something in her pocket.
"What's that?" Cham asked. El'ia shrugged.
"Our buddies back there were kind enough to leave their money on themselves. Is it really stealing if you're stealing from a thief?" El'ia asked. Cham just shook his head.
On Endor...
The man nodded, but didn't ask anything.
"In that case, those guys are probably after me. I wasn't exactly the most subtle, i guess. People must have caught on." The man mused. "Or maybe, they could be after something else entirely."
