Chapter 10 Redo, not too much is changing, just taking out those entire silly little 17 year old Author's Notes that were in between dialogue. How distracting was that? Hah, Enjoy!

Chapter 10 – Plots and Goodbyes

After arriving on Yavin IV, outside of the crumbling temple, Han, Luke, Jordan, Leia, Chewbacca, and the two droids were met by rebel troops, who helped hoist the two droids onto one of the military speeders before climbing on board with them. Luke Jordan Leia and Han got on the second one and they were driven through the hangar inside the temple. Leia looked as if she'd all seen it before, Han showed no notice if anything interested him, Jordan and Luke on the other hand, were wide eyed and taking in everything. From the rebel troops walking about the hangar, The X-Wings, The Y-Wings, the A-wings, it was all so exciting.

The Speeders stopped in-between the X-wings and the Y-wings and Leia jumped off the speeder rushing to hug Rebel Commander Willard. Han listened to everything, not really showing any sign of how he felt. Jordan and Luke couldn't take their eyes off the X-wings grinning like kids at a pod race.

"You're safe!" Commander Willard said, relieved, as he hugged Leia, "when we heard about Alderaan we feared the worst." He let go and started walking with her, Han, Jordan, and Luke following them.

"We have no time for our sorrows Commander, we must use the information in this Artoo unit to plan the attack, it's our only hope." Leia said gesturing to R2-D2 who'd just been helped off of the speeder and was wobbling about in a cute way.

Commander Willard nodded and gestured for some troops to get started on getting the plans from R2, before continuing to talk to Leia.

Jordan looked at Luke grinning, "This is so cool," she said still amazed at their surroundings.

"Definitely better than Tatooine," Luke agreed grinning back as they followed Leia and Commander Willard into a room where several people were already gathering.

It wasn't long before they had finished going over the plans on Artoo and came up with a plot to destroy the Death Star. Leia stood near the front of the room with a few other high ranking people. Star pilots and navigators sat in seats, Luke sitting amongst them, Threepio and Artoo behind him, while the Solo Siblings stood in the back of the room with Chewbacca.

General Jan Dodonna stood at the front of the room next to a large screen showing the death star readouts, "The battle station is heavily shielded and carries a firepower greater than half the star fleet." He explained. "Its defenses are designed around a direct large-scale assault. A small one man fighter should be able to penetrate the outer defense."

Chewbacca looked to Han disbelievingly who threw his hand in the hair, "I don't understand this nonsense anymore than you do."

Jordan glared at them slightly, "Have some faith Han," she whispered harshly.

"I just want my reward," Han whispered back.

Jordan glared more, "Quit thinking about the damn money and focus on what the rebels are trying to do."

"What? Commit suicide?"

Jordan smacked him on the arm as she turned back to listen to what was being said

Gold Leader, Jon Dutch Vander, interrupted him. "Pardon me for asking sir, but what good are snub fighters going to be against that?" he asked.

"Well the Empire doesn't consider a small one man fighter to be any threat, or they'd have a tighter defense. An analysis of the plans, provided by Princess Leia has demonstrated a weakness in the battle station. The approach will not be easy. You are required to maneuver straight down this trench and skim the surface to this point." He said as the video of the plans paused on their target area. Commander Dodonna continued, "The target area is only two meters wide, it's a small thermal exhaust port, Right below the main port. The shaft leads directly to the reactor system. A precise hit will start a chain reaction which should destroy the station."

Murmurs of disbelief ran through the room as Dodonna kept going.

"Only a precise hit will set up a chain reaction. The shaft is ray shielded so you'll have to use proton torpedoes."

A hotshot pilot, no older than 21, sitting next to Luke had his arms crossed over his chest and shook his head, looking angry. "That's impossible, even for a computer!" he said.

Jordan looked in his direction, 'Is it normal for the Rebel's to have the most handsome men in the galaxy?,' She pondered as Luke responded to the pilot.

"It's not impossible," Luke said turning to look at him. "I used to bull's-eye womp-rats in my T-16 back home. They're not much bigger than two meters."

Dodonna nodded, "Then man your Ships! And May the Force be with you!" He told them all as the group got up and started to leave.

"Come on kid," said Han, pulling Jordan out of the room with Chewbacca alongside him. Jordan followed over to an isolated area where a speeder was parked away from the main activity in the hangar.

Several pilots and flight crews rushed around them loading last minute armaments and unlocking the power couplings as an Officer came over with several boxes all of which contained Han's reward.

Jordan stared at Han after the officer had left. , "Han you're not seriously taking all of that are you?"

"What do you expect I have to pay off Jabba," Han said putting one of the boxes on the speeder.

"We're not even going to help them?"

Han gave her a look, "It's better to pay off Jabba than die without a purpose."

"But they have a purpose!"

"Yeah, the same one that caused Bria to get killed! You want to end up like her?" Han asked furious.

"No..." Jordan mumbled defeated, knowing that deep down Han had his reasons and it was best to just go along with them, still, she could rebel just a tad. She sat down on an unoccupied edge of the speeder with her arms crossed and watched Han with an angry look upon her face. Han ignored her, just as he was ignoring the activity of the pilots around him.

Over a loud speaker commands were being made. "All fighters, man your stations, all fighters, man your stations."

Luke came over to them, dressed in a bright orange flight suit and a helmet in his hand; he looked slightly saddened at the sight of Han loading things up.

"So, you got your reward and you're just leaving then?" Luke asked looking at the boxes then the speeder Jordan was sitting on and back to Han.

"That's right yeah," Han said, thinking this conversation sounded awfully familiar. "I've got sold old debts I've got to pay off with this stuff. Even if I didn't, you don't think I'd be fool enough to stick around here do you?" Han turned and put another box onto the speeder, purposely hitting Jordan in the elbow with it.

"Bantha poodo," She mumbled and rubbed her elbow, glaring at him.

Han smirked a little and turned back to Luke, "Why don't you come with us? You're pretty good in a fight, we could use you."

Jordan looked up at Luke, knowing she wouldn't mind if he came with them, but something in her knew Luke would say no, she just didn't expect for him to get angry.

"Come on! Why don't you take a look around? You know what's about to happen! What they're up against! They could use a good pilot like you and you're turning your back on them!" He said angrily.

"What good's a reward if you ain't around to use it?" Han replied with a snarky tone. "Besides, attacking that battle station ain't my idea of courage. It's more like..." Han paused and picked up another box as he thought of the right word for just a second, "Suicide!"

Luke nodded repeatedly, "Alright, take care of yourself Han," Luke glared, "I guess that's what your best at isn't it?" He turned and stalked off angrily.

Han hesitated for a moment before calling after him. "Hey Luke!"

Luke whipped around a glare still on his face.

"May the force be with you," Han said with just the tiniest bit of a smile.

Luke watched him for a moment his eyes traveled down to the few boxes of reward still on the speeder. He looked at the reward money for a moment before his eyes traveled to Jordan. He nodded at her slightly, then turned and left looking solemn.

Jordan watched Han as Chewie growled at him, ( You sure this is the right choice?)

"What are you lookin' at, I know what I'm doing!" Han said snapping at both of them.

"You could've been a little nicer to Luke," Jordan said sneering at her brother. When he didn't respond she stood angrily, "I'm going to go say goodbye to my friends, although you wouldn't know what it means to have friends!" she said angrily and walked off in search of Leia and Luke.

After passing underneath and around three X-wings, she found both of them talking, not too far away and came up behind them.

"-follow his own path, No one can choose it for him," Leia said to Luke.

"I only wish, Ben were here," Luke said sadly.

Leia smiled and kissed him on the cheek reassuringly before walking away. Luke looked back and continued on.

"Hey," Jordan said to Leia, "guess this is goodbye for now," she said sadly.

Leia smiled weakly, "Be careful," she said and hugged Jordan.

"You too, May the force be with you all, Wish I could stay."

Leia shook her head, "Your place is with your brother now, we'll be alright" Leia smiled and gestured with her head back behind her, "Go catch Luke and say bye, I've got to get to the command office."

Jordan grinned a little, "Bye Leia," she said as both girls went their separate ways, Leia following Dodonna and Jordan running after Luke. "Luke!" She called out running up to him as he stopped and turned around.

"Jordan?" he looked at her.

She smiled a little, "Couldn't let you kill the empire without saying goodbye to me now could I?" she teased a little.

Luke smiled, "I guess not,"

"Look, I'm sorry about Han.. he," Jordan struggled for the right words. "Okay, I'm not good with words; usually I just point my blaster, shoot, and talk later." she admitted playing with the charm on her necklace.

Luke blinked at her slightly stunned. She chuckled nervously, " Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, Han's just a little rough, and he just lost someone he really cared about that was in the rebellion, which he's never seen a purpose in, and just.. He's a smuggler, what can you expect?" she smiled a little hoping that made sense.

Luke smiled, "I get what you mean, thanks Jordan,"

"Anytime Luke, be careful up there, I hope to be hearing in the latest cantina gossip that some little old farm boy from Tatooine helped blow up that thing."

Luke laughed, "I'll try," he hugged her before leaning down and kissing her cheek, sweetly. "May the force be with you."

Jordan's eyes went wide, her cheeks and ears turned red and she squeaked, "You too Luke, goodbye," before turning and walking back towards Han and Chewie. Behind her she could hear Luke getting excited, she turned to see and saw an older gentleman with a mustache heading towards Luke.

"Biggs!" Luke yelled excitedly seeing the man come towards him

"I don't believe it!" said the gentleman, whose name was apparently Biggs, "how are ya?" he put an arm around Luke as they started walking away from Jordan.

"Great!"

"How'd you get here? Are you going up with us?"

"I'll be right up there with you Listen have I got stories to tell –" Luke and Biggs had fallen out of earshot.

She smiled after them, 'He must be an old friend of Luke's,' she thought then continued back to Han and Chewie.

When she got back to them everything was loaded and they were waiting for her.

"Ready?" Han asked.

"Whatever," she said.

Han sighed and started driving the speeder out of the hangar. Chewie followed walking along side him. Jordan looked back at the hangar, at the star fighters, the pilots, the rebel officers and commanders once more. She sighed; half wishing she was going up there with them in one of the x-wings.

It didn't take long for them to reach the Falcon, Jordan lowered the hatch as Han and Chewie started unloading the reward and taking it on board the Falcon.

Jordan leaned against the wall near the turrets. She refused to help with unloading the reward. She looked at Han as he put the reward money into the smuggling holds. "I hope you know you're in for a very quiet flight, after this I'm not speaking to you," she said as Chewbacca walked past her to start the Falcon

"A dream come true!" Han said in a sarcastic cheery tone.

Jordan gave him a very rude hand gesture before turning to go to her small room, stepping on Han's hand as he was climbing out of the smuggling hold, in revenge for her elbow.

Han grabbed his hand and held it as he watched her go into her room and the door sealed behind her. He climbed out of the smuggling hold as Blasters N Roses' 'Welcome to Felucia' started blaring out of her room.

This flight was going to be much longer than he thought.
