(Jie's POV)
After we landed, we exited the ship with the strike team and followed Han through the forest. Before long, Han stopped and motioned for everyone to get down into the bushes. "Oh, I told you it was dangerous here," C-3PO told his astromech friend.
Han, Leia, Luke, Chewie, and I walked forward a little and hid behind a ledge. Down below were three scout troopers. At least from what I could see.
"Should we try and go around?" Leia suggested.
"It'd take time," Luke told her.
"This whole party would be for nothing if they see us," Han said. Chewie then said something to Han. Han turned to us. "Chewie and I will take care of this. You stay here."
"Quietly," Luke warns just as Han was about to leave. "There might be more of them out there."
"Hey, it's me," Han replied with a cheeky grin.
"Exactly," I muttered. Luke looked at Leia and I with an exasperated expression.
It didn't take too long for Han and Chewie to get down there. We watched the train wreck. Granted, Han didn't screw up right off the bat, but he ended up stepping on a twig. The scout trooper he was following turned around and hit Han, knocking him to the ground and causing his blaster to go off.
"Call for help!" the trooper yelled to his buddy. "Go!" The second trooper made a dash for his speeder.
"Great, come on!" Luke ordered. The three of us ran down the hill. Chewie shot the trooper on the speeder as Han was fighting the first one. The third one was on the ground either unconscious or dead.
As we ran out of the bushes, Leia stopped and I almost ran into her. "Over there, two more of them!" she pointed out as two other scout troopers sped away on speeders.
I made eye contact with Leia and knew we were thinking the same thing: follow them. We ran towards the two lone bikes. "I see them," Luke said and noticed where we were headed. "Wait, Leia! Jie!"
Leia was chasing after them first. Luke jumped onto the one I was on right before I hit the starter and sped off after Leia. He grabbed my waist so he wouldn't fly off. "You catch on pretty fast," I told him, hoping he would hear me despite the wind whistling through our ears. "You just need to be faster."
Leia and I caught up to the troopers and weren't too far behind them when Luke said, "Quick, jam their comlinks, center switch." I did just that. In all honesty, I love being on a speeder. It's fast, obviously, and the trees and other flora blended together while I went past them.
The two scout troopers went over a fallen tree log and I went under it, Luke and I ducking our heads. "Move closer," Luke said. "Get alongside that one." The trooper closest to us noticed us. Leia stayed on the other side of me, continuing to follow the one further ahead.
The speeder Luke and I were on hit the scout's. Whatever Luke wanted to do, I let him, simply making sure we didn't topple over or run into a tree. Luke then jumped onto his speeder and shoved him off. The scout hit a tree on the way over.
It was now Leia, Luke, and I each on our own speeder, following the lone trooper. The good fortune didn't last as I glanced back and noticed two more begin to follow us.
"We've got company!" I yelled to my two companions, and not a second later did they start shooting at us. The first bolt hit Luke. I dropped back to take on the two and Luke did as well.
Breaking the two apart, the one on the left rammed into a tree as Luke started shooting at him. We then kept on the other one which veered off to the right. He led us through trees that were closer together. I narrowly missed one.
"Do you need driving lessons?" Luke shouted jokingly to keep my spirits up.
"Oh, shut up!" I yelled back at him. He wasn't phased for a second. Stupid Jedi, I think. Were they always this infuriating?
We made a sharp turn and ended up alongside the trooper. Both of us rammed into him a few times until Luke's speeder got stuck on the trooper's. I didn't see much, but definitely noticed Luke's speeder explode. This trooper is bantha fodder.
I took one from Luke's book and jumped onto the scout's speeder as we continued. The struggle didn't last very long. Since I couldn't do much behind him, I grabbed the trooper and took him over board with me. I landed on him, grabbed his head and twisted it, effectively killing him.
Now I just need to find Luke, Leia, and/or the others.
