Enjoy Chapter 7!


The Rebel Fleet - Transport XII66


Ritsu had been talking to Roseline for quite a few days now. Every time she would wake up she would wake up before the 8-year-old and look over her...She felt protective over Roseline and would do most things to help her.

Even sharing her food rations with the young girl.

Anything to try and get the memories of working for the Empire out of her head.

General Yamanaka walked to the back of the transport to where Ritsu was sitting. Ritsu is currently watching over Roseline.

"I see you've found someone to protect"

Ritsu jumped and looked to her. "DON'T do that!" She hissed. Then looked back when the General sat down next to her. "So, what brings you here General? I thought you were co-ordinating with the rest of the fleet?"

Sawako nodded. "Yes, I was. I have to make sure the passengers are okay too don't I?"

Ritsu nodded also. "I suppose so"

"What brings you here anyway? I thought you were going to use your ship back on Hoth to get out?"

"Imperial bastards blew it up"

Sawako cringed. "That was a gift from your late father right?"

Ritsu looked at her with wide eyes. "How did you?" She trailed off as Sawako held up a holo recording and passed it to her.

"Your father used to help us financially. Nothing special, of course, and always with little and often. He didn't like the Empire...Never did"

Ritsu sighed. "I wish I knew him..."

"Maybe, if you look into that recording. You'll find out more about him"

Ritsu nodded. "I'll do that..." She noticed the 8-year-old start to stir. "...Later" She half smiled as she put the recording away and went back to monitoring Roseline.

"You want to be the custodian?"

Ritsu sighed. "If no-one else will...Then sure"

"I heard there's an X-Wing pilot who wants to talk to you"

"Me?" Ritsu blinked. "What would..."

"I'm not sure. Something about your reputation and a near fatal confrontation with her friend?"

Ritsu sucked her teeth. She knew PRECISELY who the General meant now. It was that Yui...One of the bounties which would have made her life EXTRODINARY. In short, the money from the bounties would have made her so rich that she would have ridden out the GCW (Galactic Civil War) in peace and luxury for the rest of her life.

"Ritsu. You're apart of us now. You're being looked after by our droids, medically, and you need us to help you survive. If you went back to the Empire they'd just execute you. Let go of the past. We can help"

Ritsu took in a deep breath. "It ain't gonna be that easy...See...I know something you guys probably don't-"

"Oh?"

"Yeah, see thing is-" Ritsu stopped talking as Roseline opened her eyes slowly. "How did you sleep?" She whispered to her.

Roseline blinked as she awoke. "Not great..." She yawned. "I feel kinda wobbly"

"Here." Ritsu offered her a hand up, which Roseline accepted in a second. "Must be the motion sickness from the transport...How long till we hit a planet General?"

Sawako sighed. "About another half a day at least...Probably..." She looked to the digital time scanners. "I'd say another 6 hours at the very least. We don't move very fast"

Roseline looked to Ritsu. "That's a long time..."

Ritsu smiled. "I'll tell you a story then"

"STORY!"

Ritsu winced. "Not so loud"

"Sowwy"

"Okay, have you ever heard of a certain type of people called..." She looked around and then looked to Roseline. "Jedi?"

Sawako's mouth flew open - RITSU knew about the JEDI!? Well, maybe she did because of being a former Bounty Hunter but...HOW!?


[Transport - Rosiana]


Ui started to stir and saw Yui's arms around her when she awoke. She slightly widened her eyes but then softened them as she felt the familiar warmth of them. "Onee-chan..." She whispered as she readjusted herself - Untangling herself and leaving her older sister to sleep.

Ui went to the front and looked around as she did so. So many people had been injured and some were dead...It wasn't a nice sight. The Empire had done all of this and more...Even to the point where the only hope they had was in Luke Skywalker and his friends...

'They've got Luke, sure, and he's probably going to train one day...But...' Ui looked back to where her sister was sleeping. 'They have Onee-chan as well...If only Yui would show them. I'm sure they could use the backup'

"This is Transport Rosiana, identify yourself X-Wing pilot!"

Ui looked up and spotted Azusa flying the X-Wing near the transport. "Azusa..." She whispered and raced to the front deck. "Ex...Excuse me!"

"Who are you?"

Ui gulped. "I'm a former imperial officer, I..I defected before the battle of Hoth. That's my sister's friend up there! Don't hurt her!"

"We won't...It takes a lot to have an X-Wing. Talk to her. She's been flying frantically for the past ten minutes"

Ui nodded and walked to where the transponder was, picking it up. "Ummm...I hope this is working...Azusa? Azusa, can you hear me?"

Ui then closed her eyes, trying to delve into a different part of her mind that she THOUGHT she didn't have. "Azusa..."

At the same time she used her thoughts, by doing this she sent a message through the Force. 'Azusa?'


Blue 6 (Blue Squadron) - Azusa's X-Wing


'Azusa?'

Azusa blinked awake and yawned. "Y-Yeah?" She looked to where her X-Wing was - Almost on top of the Rosiana. "GAH!" She moved it quickly.

"Azusa..."

Azusa blinked again. "U...UI!?"

"HEAD'S UP REBELS! IMPERIALS ON THE FORWARD SCANNERS!"

Azusa ground her teeth together. "Fuck... Get yourselves behind the frigate!"

Piloting the X-Wing wasn't the hard part - It was staying in some kind of attack formation with the rest of the Squadron she was now apart off.

"Roger that!"

The Transports all started to get near, or around, the frigate as the other fighter wings moved in for support.


Overall View


1 Star Destroyer flanked by two Corvette's came out of Hyperspace with a huge group of Tie-Fighters straight towards the Rebel Fleet.

Azusa silently cursed her luck. First, she managed to find out that Ui and Yui were ALIVE and well...The next, she was defending the fleet from utter annihilation from the Imperials...AGAIN.

After a huge 20 minute fight, Azusa sweated badly as she moved her X-Wing up and over the Star Destroyer's broadside cannon's. Taking the attention away from the fleet.

"Moving into Lightspeed in a 4 minutes, hang on Blue Squadron!"

Azusa took in a deep breath.

'I can't do this...I can't do-' Azusa sighed as she started to let go of her controls. 'I'm sorry...'

Within seconds another voice came into her head, 'Yes, you can, Azusa. I believe in you. Don't give in yet. Remember what happened at Hoth...and before then'

Azusa's eyes widened slightly. 'Yui!'

Mio's X-Wing came alongside and blasted a Tie-Fighter into pieces. "Hey! Your name's Azusa right? Let's get going!"

Azusa nodded, concentration now on her face. "Ready when you guys are!"

"Get alongside us!"

The Rebel Fleet had slowed down as the Blue Squadron flew all around them. Then within a matter of moments...

They were gone.


The Ravenger - (ISD)


Jun gulped. "Was that..."

Nodoka kept her eyes on where the fleet had been. "I...I..."

Jun took in a deep breath and sighed out, "I'll apologize to Vader...It's my fault..."

Nodoka shook her head, much to the surprise of Jun. "We aren't going anywhere. We'll stay here...Trooper"

A storm trooper walked up. "Yes?"

"Break engine 4 and scramble the records of the hyperspace trace"

"Yes Ma'am"

Jun's eyes widened but then she smiled softly at her. "Nodoka..."

Nodoka was going to make it look like an accident that they couldn't get to it in time to chase the Rebel Fleet.


Somewhere in Deep Space - Transport Rosiana


Yui woke up and looked around to see Ui place a coffee in front of her. "Thank you Ui"

Ui smiled. "It's nice to be with you Onee-chan. I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be"

Yui smiled back at her. "Me neither"


Death Star II


The Imperial Senior officers were talking amongst themselves regarding the latest Battle of Hoth and results afterwards.

"I heard the Millenium Falcon is headed for Cloud City"

"I heard a few other things as well, where'd you hear that?"

"From a few sources...Like..."

"Like what?"

Darth Vader's breathing had them all stop as he looked at them. "You will all report to the Emperor's chambers. There is a meeting to be held"

"Ye...Yes Lord Vader. Right away"


Somewhere in Deep Space - Transport XII66


Ritsu sighed as she had Roseline's head in her lap, stroking her hair. "You know..."

Ritsu looked to her. "Hmm?"

"I dunno if I can live in this War...I wish it didn't exist really"

Ritsu smiled slightly. "I...I suppose it is hard on everyone. Especially when you've never had much to begin with"

Roseline nodded. "I-" She yawned to Ritsu's amusement. "Ugh...I feel tired"

Ritsu giggled slightly. "Then go to sleep then. Always go with what your body is telling you - It's for the best"

Roseline nodded and closed her eyes, falling asleep in moments.

Ritsu looked to General Yamanaka as she walked in, sitting down next to Ritsu. "It's something else. Watching you watch over her"

Ritsu smiled much to Sawako's shock. "Yeah, well...Someone's gotta"

"You remember Mio?"

"Barely, why?"

"She's an X-Wing pilot. If we ever hit planet-side, I'll get her to see you if you want?"

Ritsu nodded after thinking for a moment. "Sure."
