The Jedi pulls out his tools and begins repair of the door locks. Within a few seconds, the magna lock is released. Calling on the padawan to push, the two Jedi manually slide the door far enough for the young padawan to slip through.

The Knight backs up to give ample space for the Padawan to slip through. "Good, you're safe. We had the Senator lock himself in the Bridge. He won't open it, but I need you to stand guard there. Make sure no one can even try to get to him." He points out the direction to run, in case the junior Jedi has gotten disoriented. "Myself and Batu are going to stop the boarders. In case any slip by, you're the last line of defense." That's all he has to say, so he leaves Zett to go to his assigned position while he himself heads into the soon-to-be firefight.

"Yes." The young padawan says as he runs off towards the bridge.
When Granite arrives at the docking tunnel, he sees the Alderaan guards have created a makeshift barricade of storage boxes. "Sir," one of the guards says when he sees Granit arriving. "Jedi Batu split the group. She's covering the starboard tunnel and we're covering this one. It appears they have a second incoming ship heading there. They've just docked and are beginning to cut through the door."
As the pirates kick the door in, they come through and immediately begin blasting everywhere. The light weight armor of the guards don't stand up to the Captain's heavy blaster rifle or the Pirate Crew's heavy blaster pistols. The flurry of blaster bolts quickly go through the Alderaan Guards leaving only Jedi Knight Granite standing.

Granite is surprised by the Consular Guard going down so quickly, but war is a chaotic thing. Planning and preparation can heavily tilt the odds in your favor, but when it comes down to it there are no guarantees. A blaster bolt with your name on it is a rare thing. But one with 'to whom it may concern' are plentiful, as seen with the casualties strew about him.
Without pausing more than a moment, the Jedi lights up his lightsaber pike and charges quickly at the pirates. They clearly have lethal intent, and he has no interest in attempting to parlay with them. Instead he rushes what appears to be their leader, attempting to strike him down before they have a chance to reconsider this new threat.

Meanwhile, the stunned Pirate Captain falls back a few paces to recover from the Jedi's assault. Seeing his rifle is useless, he tosses it back into the boarding tunnel of his ship.

Hoping that the Pirate will take more time to recover from the sudden blow, Granite pivots and charges into the midst of his underlings. He stabs and slashes with his pike, trying to remove what support the enemy Captain can muster.

The Jedi takes the opportunity to strike out at the pirate crew giving the captain time to recover. His lightsaber slices through the crew, taking two of them down and leaving one badly injured.
The Pirate Captain draws a Vibro-Axe from his belt and takes a defensive stance.
At such close range, the lone remaining Pirate Crew member fires his blaster at the Jedi. His blast solidly hits Granite causing more wounds and bruises, but not serious damage.

Seeing the Pirate take a defensive stance, Granite dismisses him for the moment. His minions are more skilled than he assumed from a band of raiders. Perhaps professionals of some sort from a powerful outfit, or even Separatists disguised as raiders. Although he doesn't know what that would gain them. The Republic and them are already at war, so anonymously striking is kind of silly. Unless they don't want the death of a popular Senator pointing back at them. Yes, that might be it. Assassinating such an upright man would only inflame the citizens of the Republic against them, making it even harder to come to a peaceful negotiation of sovereignty. Now this all might be rampant speculation, but Jedi are trained not just to be simple soldiers, but also spies, diplomats, investigators, whatever is needed. His mind is always working in the background, even in a firefight.
His target remains the same, however. The Pirate is truly fearsome. He can't seriously face off against him with someone else at his back. Granite knows he's good, but he isn't invincible. Many Jedi have died in this war. Some from back luck or heroic last stands, but others from overconfidence. He is determined not to be one of them. He stabs with his pike at the last of the Crew, trying to turn this into a one-on-one. He also stims himself, hoping to stay in the fight as long as needed.

The Jedi Knight quickly dispatches the final remaining pirate crew member with his Lightsaber Pike. He quickly reaches into his pocket and jabs himself with a stim allowing him to push away some of the pain caused by the blasters.
