Chapter 1: Mood Eyes
Han was very happy. He had taken the time off to sit in a cantina. How long has it been since I've even been to a bar? He thought to himself. Not since his wife had been elected the President of the Senate, at least.
Han wasn't really drinking. He was mainly looking at the patrons inside. Most he could tell were there only to find a ride, or get a job. That was what he mostly did when he was a smuggler. One specific patron kept catching his eye. It was a lone figure, sort of short for a smuggler. He wore a black cloak that covered him from face to toe. How does he ever expect to get a job looking like that? Most people want to be able to trust there pilot. At least, trust as far as an outlaw can trust.
He also thought the boy was too young. There was something about him that kept him thinking. There were some species in the galaxy where an adult male can only get to about 3 feet, he knew, but there was something else. Maybe it was the way he carried himself, or the way he seemed to shut away all people. Or maybe Han simply had enough to drink for one night. He was supposed to meet Chewie outside soon. Keeping Chewie waiting would be a very bad thing because then he'd come bursting in here, ripping off people's heads until Han was found.
Han was about to stand when a man sat down in his booth.
"You Han Solo?"
"Who wants to know?" He replied, reaching for his blaster.
"Put your hands on the table," the man said, revealing a blaster of his own pointed at Han's heart, "I got a bounty on you."
"I thought those days were over. I'm legit now!"
"I still got a-"
A bright flash of light was seen and the bounty hunter's head went flying across the room. Han looked up to see the cloaked figure.
"Come on. There's bound to be more of them around here." The boy was right. As soon as he said it, three more creatures stood up and walked towards the two.
"No need to tell me twice." The two got up and ran outside the cantina.
"I got a speeder over here. I'll take you back to where you need to go."
"Who are you?" Han asked as they ran towards the speeder.
"Run faster," He said, "I'll explain later. We gotta hurry!"
Han looked behind him, to see no one. "Are you sure? They aren't behind us!"
The man didn't answer, instead he quickened his pace. When the two reached the speeder, they saw that the three accomplices were already there, waiting for them.
"Chinow, stay out of this. This isn't a job for little girls." One of them said.
"Little…." Han started.
"I'm not a little girl anymore, I can take care of myself!" The cloaked figure stepped forwards.
"You're a girl?!" Han exclaimed.
"Out of our way, wench," The other bounty hunters started to form a circle around them, "Or we'll be forced to get you, too."
The one he called Chinow took off her cloak to reveal a teenage looking girl, about 5' 3" in height. She wore black pants that were tucked into knee-high boots. She had on a white blouse with a black vest over it. Her hair was tied back into a tight ponytail. At her left hip was a lightsaber and on her right was a blaster. "I'd like to see you try, Nak."
One charged towards her, ready to take her down. She quickly moved out of the way and lightning fast, she karate chopped the back of his neck, sending him down. "Next," She replied.
The other one was quicker, charging silently behind her. He suddenly had a viroblade at her throat and was taunting her. "I'd like to see you get out of this one."
"Okay, I'll try to move slowly." She elbowed him in the gut, making his hand fly away from her throat. She turned around and landed a high kick right in his face. Before he even hit the ground, she kicked him in the back, making him fly upward and land five feet away.
She turned around to face Han and the other attacker. Her eyes were a bright red and a small slight appeared on her cheek. Her expression was challenging to the other hunter.
The last remaining bounty hunter had a blaster out and aimed at her. "D-d- don't m-m-m-m-move, or I-I-I'll fire." He stammered.
"Get out of here. Spare yourself." She said. Han noticed that her eye color was changing. It was deepening more towards brown.
The man was obviously scared, but it didn't look as if he'd fire. He turned around and ran. Chinow smiled. Han looked at her in awe.
"Let's go." She said and turned around to get inside the speeder. Han started forwards, but a blaster shot made him instinctively hit the ground. He wasn't hurt so it had to be a miss. But wait-
Chinow was on the ground. She turned around quickly and shot two bolts in the shadows. A figure slumped to the ground. "Are you okay?" She asked.
"Yeah, it must have been a miss."
"No, he hit his target alright." She moved her hand to reveal a still- burning hole in her side. "Let's go. I gotta get you back. There's bound to be more of them." She stood up and slowly moved inside the speeder. Han saw in the distance, a wookie waiting outside the cantina.
"One minute."
"Sure." She said.
Han signaled for Chewie to come over. He did. Then, he introduced him to his savior. When Han looked inside, he saw that Chinow lay passed out in the drivers seat.
"Let's take her back to the Palace." Han suggested. Chewbacca growled in agreement.
The two moved her aside and made their way back to the old Imperial Palace where Leia and Luke were waiting for them. On the way, Han told Chewie how the girl had saved him.
When they arrived and passed through security, C-3PO was there, waiting for them. "Welcome back Master Han. Oh," He added, seeing Chinow, "Who might this young lady be?"
"She saved me at the cantina, but got wounded in the process. Get a bacta tank ready and alert the medics."
For possibly the first time, Han was glad at Threepio's efficiency. The medics came down almost right after Chewie and him had gotten her out of the speeder. After he saw them taking her down, he went up to tell Luke about her. She had carried a lightsaber with her so maybe she was a Jedi, too. Luke would definitely like to hear of it.
