The Inquisitor saw the cat-like woman duck into an alley, which elicited a small growl from Jihta. In the alleys, she did not have the crowd pressing against her and blocking her path, which gave her an advantage.
Bouncing off one more pair of shoulders Jihta somersaulted through the air landing feet first against one of the alleyway walls before jumping to land on the ground. The woman was not immediately visible, but as Jihta sniffed the air, she could smell her lingering scent.
Out of site from the general crowd, she once again drew her lightsaber. Against a master like Mak it was minimally useful, but against an unarmed girl, it should give Jihta plenty of leverage. "Come out Jedi!" Jihta called as she charged forward.
Aeris wasn't sure how to escape at this point screamed for her to run and keep running. But no one, not even with her body modifications could manage it forever. Still, she had to try. There was no way she was going back to the Empire. That would only mean her life would be confined to a lab and her nothing more than an experiment, not even human. That thought she couldn't bear on her own. The Empire had already done so much to her and she wasn't eager to revisit such treatments.
Unfortunately, her skills in the force were not all that fantastic. Sure she could do a few things but those she had taught herself. Against a trained and armed Inquisitor, what chance could she possibly stand again the tiny creature? Especially when Aeris had yet to acquire any in the least in the handful of months in which she had been free, on the run sure, but free nonetheless.
The young woman made a fateful turn, one that was likely to decide her future. As she came to the end of the alley her heart sank deeply into her chest. It was a dead end and she, well she was all alone against a much more experienced opponent. Her eyes searched quickly seeking some kind of exit, any exit, but it seemed the options available would very likely lead to serious injury or dead. And even more unlucky there was no place her tall frame could reasonably hide behind. It seemed for Aeris time may just be ticking down.

Jihta bounded through the alleyway as quickly as her short legs would take her. As she moved through the corners she would catch glimpses of blonde hair or catch wind of her scent, until finally the girl was cornered. Seeing this, the Inquisitor gave an almost crazed sounding chuckle.
With her wide, sharp-toothed grin Jihta began to slow approach the girl silver blade illuminating the walls faintly. "Here kitty. Be good and Jihta not harm. Much."
Aeris looked nothing short of terrified as the creature came into view. On instinct alone, she found herself back slowly away from the alien. Closing her eyes for a second the blonde shook her head. "I can't go back there, please don't take me back to the Empire."
Out of habit and nerves, Aeris reached up to her shoulder to scratch it where the barcode from the lab was still imprinted on her body. Aeris was nothing more than the Kahoshi Lab's property and little else at all. Not even though of as human but less than that.
"And not harm much? You people have done me nothing but harm and suddenly I'm supposed to willing hand myself over? No." The fiery blonde replied, as she still keenly looked for a way out, a moment of weakness or the creature letting it's guard down for just a second. "I won't willingly go back!" Her voice louder though no less fearful than she had been so far.

At her response, Jihta cocked her head to the side quizzically. "You flee Empire? Is honah to serve, why you flee from honah?"
The inquisitor shook her head at the strange girl who would defy the Empire. Her circumstances did not change Jihta's mission though. The girl would come with her, or she would be killed. Given this new information though, Jihta suspected the higher ups might prefer this one alive.
Stepping forward, she held her saber far enough out to dig into one of the walls. The plasma blade cut through easily leaving a line of destruction as she went. "Last chance. or get cut."
A feral growl slipped easily from Aeris's lips, angered by the woman's words. "Yeah, sure. A real fething honor to be a human lab rat for someone else's pleasures. For whatever the hell they want! Why the feth would ANYONE want to return to that." Her words, sharp, loud and oh so angry. Both angry at the woman in front of her, and the situation that she'd gotten into. The situation that Aeris knew there was little way to escape from without being severely injured or killed. In other words trapped. There was no convenient fire escape ladder, no low roof she could try to leap to, and even if she could Aeris doubted her skills to do so. Disaster was going to be the only result.
The blonde's eyes flicked to see the heat, the burning scent that it left behind. Instantly her instinctual fear of fire flared up making it nearly impossible to think much less concentrate enough to make any move that might get her out. Aeris found herself backing slowly away from the creature both hands covering her face not wanting to see the destruction left by the weapon, much less see the smoke. The smoke she could smell well enough despite there not being a lot of it. It just happened to be enough throw Aeris into a state where she controlled so little of herself.
All of this was making her feel more and more cornered, more trapped and even more desperate to try and escape. The options left to Aeris were to stay put, and surrender to the creature and most certainly be taken back to the lab. The only conclusion Aeris could come to without her mind fully functioning was to run. Keeping to the opposite wall with all Aeris had in her she bolted for her life, knowing full well she was risking serious injury and death in the process. But she had to try.
On principle, she couldn't just give herself up, not when she had two legs to stand on, and two arms to fight with. Pride. It came down to that as well. Principle and Pride seemed quite the weakness for the girl.

"Kitty is rat too?" Jihta asked before bursting into giggles. This girl was too amusing! While she knew she would probably have to turn her over, Jihta would love to keep her for herself. Weapons needed to be tested on someone after all.
The moment that the girl broke to run, the alien brought her free hand up and sent out of push with the Force before rushing toward her and striking down her her saber.
Instincts over logic played through the feral's mind, and only that. Her escape at this point was unlikely. The odds were too heavily stacked against Aeris now. The force push slammed her against a stone wall stunning her for only a moment before she tried to evade the tiny creature.
It just wasn't fast enough to escape harm. Aeris cried out feeling the saber slice the back of her calf, severing her Achilles tendon. There would be no running now, not with one leg crippled and useless to her. The svelte blonde tumbled to the ground where her cries of pain faded almost instantly, trying to hide the agony of her injury. The horrible smell of her burned flesh forced her to vomit before curling up panting heavily and hiding her face from view.

With caution, Jihta approached the fallen women. She was no longer able to escape, but cornered cats were prone to lashing out even if it got them injured. The inquisitor could see the injured woman was no longer thinking straight. Whatever part of her which was not human had taken control, and it has shown in her eyes when she had tried to run.
"Fithy bodily functions," Jihta spat as the smell of vomit hit her nose. "Machine better. Cleaner."
The lightsaber was extinguished and held out of reach as she came near. The free hand reached out and grabbed the girl's long hair pulling her closer. "Jihta tell you give up. Hurt less. Now you come with Jihta."
Aeris was breathing hard, horribly frightened and knew she was trapped. Her eyes wide with fear as the creature approached. All the blonde could think about was lashing out, that much was instinctual and beyond something, the girl had control over. The second Jihta reached, grabbing her hair both Aeris' hands instantly flew up trying to dislodge the woman's fingers as a feral growl escaped her lips.
"Let go of me!" The girl screamed. Her leg was pain enough, she didn't need more on top of it. And as long as she was cornered, hurt, and threatened her instincts to lash out were not something that would go away on command.

It seemed the girl simply would not surrender, regardless of how much pain she suffered. Jihta considered cutting off one of the offending hands, perhaps that would teach her a lesson. Or perhaps she would just spray blood all over Jihta in an attempt to escape.
That sounded icky.
Instead, she used the Force to reinforce her muscle while also using the better leverage she had over the taller woman. Jihta then proceeded to begin smashing her face into the ground until she stopped moving.
It wasn't what Aeris had expected. Then again she'd expected not a single bit of what happened today. Her body hurt almost as mush as her mind did with images of pain and bloodshed still swimming at its surface. Her mind was still locked behind instincts of her feline DNA and logic wasn't something she had too much access to right then.
The blonde managed a scream as her head impacted the ground the first time, the second had her stunned completely and the third? The third painfully knocked her unconscious, and motionless on the ground, leaving her entirely at the creature's and the Empire's mercy. Which with her luck with the Empire that mercy thing ... It didn't exist.

A bit of amusement filtered through Sara's mind at the man's command to remain still, and then she proceeded to utterly ignore it by stretching for a few moments. Her attention shifted back towards him when he moved towards her once more, amethyst-hued eyes gleaming with suppressed laughter, though it was quite obvious from the huge grin which promptly appeared on her face, that the laughter was aimed squarely at the man giving her orders. Or trying to. And then she replied, the tone of her voice business-like despite the still-lingering amusement.
"Right, right. I'll follow you, but that's where this ends. My men are exactly that, my men, and have their own missions to pursue after we depart." Giving the man a flat stare despite the helmet he wore, she continued. "As for my weapons...catch!" Barely giving the man any more warning than that, all her weapons were soon shooting towards him via telekinesis, her arms remaining folded across her armored chest, though the grin remained firmly in place.
"I can't give you all my weapons, however." Unfolding one arm, she lifted a hand and tapped the side of her head with a finger, indicating her Force abilities.

Hevana's reactions were naturally just a bit faster than the rest of her squad, so when the weapons went flying forward she jumped forward and caught most of them. A blaster she missed went right toward lieutenant's face, but he managed to snatch that that one before it thumped him.
He might have whispered something under his breath, but he was not the type to let anyone else hear it. The man was kind of a prude like that.
"Just follow," he said crossly. Given that their squad was specifically designated for hunting Force users, they had not forgotten about her abilities. But there had been no orders to give her the usual drugs to dampen them, so command must have something else in mind.
As they moved out the lieutenant moved to the front of the formation along with the unit's scouts. The rest fanned out for flanking cover, with Hevana and the brunt of the forces bringing up the rear. Most had brought out secondary weapons to make up for the loss of their repeaters, though the lieutenant had seemed to decide to use the blaster that had nearly beaned him in the face. A prude, and perhaps a bit petty.
It took awhile for them to make their way through the city, gaining the stares of Naboo citizens who were beginning to emerge from the surrounding buildings now that the fighting had seemed to calm down. Eventually, they made their way to one of the Empire's pop up garrisons where a shuttle awaited them. At the bottom of its ramp stood two Imperial Security Bureau agents with their white uniforms, but Hevana suspected there was more to them than that.
"This is where we part," her lieutenant stated motioning toward the shuttle.
