"Good luck, love. I'll see you in a bit!" With that Harry set his concern for Aayla aside, concentrating on his own task. Letting loose a breath of air, he breathed in and began to form the image of himself in the structure he'd already created within his mind of the area below them. And then as the image solidified, he poured his Force power into it, imagining himself there instead of here.
Just as it had worked the times before, like it had the first time on Ryloth, Harry disappeared from where he was and appeared where he wanted to be with a loud pop of displaced air. Having come out in a corner of the room, the shouts of surprise from all around him signaled his arrival.
Swiftly Harry activated his lightsaber, cutting to one side, wincing as his lightsaber literally cut through a pirate, a Duros like his friend Alecto armed with a wicked looking skinning dagger and a whip. The shocked look on his face would have been comical under other circumstances.
Yet Harry could not let his grief at taking a life so quickly control him, and he lashed out with a Force Push that slammed two other men, both humans, into the airlock they had just been about to open, leaving them senseless on the ground. He brought his lightsaber back around to block two astonishingly well aimed blaster bolts, but was unable to direct them back at his opponents. A swift stunning bolt flew from his other hand, however, knocking the last of the defenders unconscious.
The quad laser set into the floor had twisted around by this time, and Harry hastily brought up his lightsaber to block the blasts, the lightsaber flashing this way and that, its distinctive hum filling the area, audible even over the sounds of the alarms in the background, interspersed by the spang, spang of blaster bolts impacting the blade. They came a little too fast and a little too furiously for harry to deflect back using Shien, pushing Harry off balance before he could recover, and one of the bolts flew by his head with a bare inch to spare.
The blaster bolts came in so fast and furiously Harry couldn't divide his attention between his Force Precognition and trying to use the Force to destroy it. But he quickly got used to the speed and impact of the bolts, which began to bounce directly back at the gun slagging it within a few seconds.
Breathing in deeply, Harry let his lightsaber fall to the side for a second, staring around him before deactivating the lightsaber and concentrating once again on where he had previously been. That was much easier, although when he popped into the transport two of the Wookies had moved forwards towards where he had been standing.
They must've been waving their hands in the air where he had previously been and they let out sharp barks of exclamation, retreating quickly. "I said I could do it," he said mildly, letting none of his relief that they had stopped waving their hands through that position show on his face. His mother had been very clear on what would have happened if he had teleported into a position occupied by another person or thing, and it wasn't pretty. "Now gather round. I can only do this with people touching me, so I'll be bringing you in about five or six at a time."
By the time the Wookie force with him had been completely transported, Harry was gasping, sweat streaking his face. Transporting other people like that took it out of him to a degree Harry hadn't realized before this, not having ever done so with so many people before. Still, they were in position and pushing forward within about five minutes of the time it had taken him to take out the defenders.
After he popped in the last group, Harry leaned against a control console for a moment, getting his breath back before activating his lightsaber again and looking at the Wookies. "Have you decided who's going to stay?"
Several of the older Wookies nodded firmly, taking up stations along the walls and behind the control panel set into the center of the room. One of them, one of the oldest leaders named Tarnoshiiicaba, also knelt behind the quad turret, chuffing. "/Jedi, always so hard on electrical devices./"
"It was trying to be equally hard on me, so my sympathy for it is limited," Harry replied dryly, garnering a chuffing laugh from the Wookies as he looked around, realizing that at least ten Wookies were missing. "We should think of rotating troops back to rest if we have to, though hopefully this battle won't…" He stopped, shaking his head. "Yeah, I'm not going to jinx us like that."
That caused some more chuffs of laughter, and Harry doubled over from a slap to the back from one of the Wookies, who had gotten over their shock at his teleportation far quicker than he had feared they would. They seemed now to take it in stride, and gestured him on. "/Come, young padawan! It is time we Wookies showed you what we can do!/"
Harry nodded and raced forward, determined to catch up with the first group that had already left.
OOOOOOO
Master Dooku and his former padawan led the assault onto the space station, having used the Force to open one of the airlocks despite the best efforts of the mechanical systems to keep it closed. Once inside the two Jedi took up position there, holding the interior against the nearest band of pirates who responded to the breach while the rest of the Wookies funneled in behind them. After dealing with that first group of defenders they split off, Master Dooku heading one way and Komari another, with the Wookies spreading out behind them in every direction.
The Wookies automatically did this, splitting off into various groups, mostly clan, tribe, or family based. It was a weakness of the Wookies that their internecine feuds and rivalries between tribal units sometimes got in the way of their ability to work together towards a common goal.
