Luke stops in front of one ofthe containment cells and blasts the door away with a blaster. When the smoke clears, Luke sees the dazzling young princess. She had been sleeping and is now looking at him with anlook of bewilderment on her face. Luke is riveted by her incredible beauty and stands staring at her with his mouth hanging open, although you can't really se this from behind the mask. He also notices a young woman and a man. The young woman has quite a bit of blood covering her and she leans on the man for support. The young woman has a smirk on her face that says openly -About time-. Ironically it is Leia who speaks first though.
"Aren't you a little short to be a stormtrooper?" Adame's grin widens and laughs in a bell tone, the same laugh that her mother had that used to drive her dad crazy. This wasn't the only attribute she had in common with her mother. Brown hair and a strong stature. She had blue eyes like her father and his height, also his disregard for rules. Qui-Gon has reddish brown hair and some stubble, he was more so his father with Sabe's mischief. Luke notices his similarity to Ben and frowns pondering, Ben had spoke of a son. Luke takes off his helmet, coming out of it. His dirty blond elegantly sweping his face.
" What? Oh...the uniform. I'm Luke Skywalker. I'm here to rescue you." Adame starts at the name skywalker and her and Leia speak at the same time.
" You're who?" Luke's face turns exasperated and his tone clearly suggests sleep deprivement.
"I'm here to rescue you. I've got your R2 unit. I'm here with Ben Kenobi. He said that an Adame and Qui-Gon would want these" He holds out two lightsabers and tosses them to them. They immediately scramble to them.
"I get that one!" Adame shouts pointing at a lightsaber. Qui-Gon frowns with a pout on his face.
"How come you get that one? Maybe I wanted it." Adame smirks before casually taking the lightsaber from his hand with ease.
"Because if you don't give it to me, you'll be sleeping on the couch for the rest of your natural or unnatural life." Qui-Gon stares at her flabbergasted.
"Fine it's yours then, Adame." They turn back to Luke, who stares at them wondering how someone could joke at such a time. Leia however continues to gab at Luke before realizing who Ben Kenobi is... Obi-Wan.
"Ben Kenobi is here! Where is he?" Luke begins to run out the door and the rest follow him, shocked at his randomness.
"Come on!" Adame and Qui-Gon stop back for a second, a true smile forming on Adame's face, this causes Qui-Gon to grin as well. Adame turns to him.
"That's my brother, my brother, he looks just like Dad, except well... he's short." They grin to each other before running out.
I sit in the past grinning at my story. I stare at the council my toughts lingering on the past, well my past, their future.
"So they broke us out, alarms sounding and troops shooting at us and the only thought in Adame's head was 'This is where the fun begins' I guess being in a cell for so long made her anxious, heckI myself was welcoming the battle, andI am the level headed one." There were a few chuckles at that, I was grateful for the lightening of the mood because it was about to darken.
An ominous buzzing sound is heard on the other side of the elevator door. Qui-Gon and Adame turn to the others in the detention hallway. They ignite their lightsabers as they hear Han speak.
"Chewie!"
Chewbacca responds with a growling noise. The wookiee appears to be informing the smuggler about some sort of recent development. Han's shout indicates something, and Adame, who speaks wookiee hears him say 'Imperial troops following us through theelevator.' Han nods.
"Get behind me! Get behind me!"A series of explosions knock a hole in the elevator doorthrough which several Imperial troops begin to emerge.Han and Chewie fire blastes at them through the smoke and flame. They turn and run down the cell hallway, meeting up with Luke and Leia rushing toward them. Behind them follows Adame and Qui-Gon. han fires at the escape route cutting it off. Adame whistles and Qui-Gon nods, stroking his eyebrow. Luke sees the display and gives them a questioning look. Han on the other hand announces his action.
"Can't get out that way." Leia replies with a snippy remark that causes Adame to smirk.
"Looks like you managed to cut off our only escape route." As Han replies sarcastically, Adame turns to Luke with a sly grin.
"Maybe you'd like it back in your cell, Your Highness." Adame's grin only widens and she leans forward.
"I don't know about that. They say when the force closes a hatch it opens a viewport but still check with threepio." Luke looks at her in shock.
"How do you know about threepio?" Adame's smirking starts to get annoying.
"One: I know everything, Two: I own threepio and Three: don't ask me questions you should know the answer to."
Luke takes a small comlink transmitter from his belt as they continue to exchange fire with stormtroopers making their way down the corridor. He glances ate the troopers with a worried expression.
"See-Threepio! See-Threepio!" Over the interlink a voice is peeved voice is heard.
"Yes sir?' The voice doesn't sound to happy. Adame looks at a garbage grate inspecting it, Leia notices this. She mouths to Adame -Is it magnetically sealed?'- Adame shakes her head no as Luke continues his conversation with Threepio.
"We've been cut off! Are there any other ways out of the cell bay?...What was that? I didn't copy!
Luke and Leia crouch together in an alcove for protection as they continue to exchange fire with troops. Han and Chewbacca are barely able to keep the stormtroopers at bay at the far and of the hallway. The blaster fire is very intense, and smoke fills the narrow cell corridor.
"There isn't any other way out." Qui-gon puts up a force barrier but it's not lasting. Han notices this and starts firing at the troopers.
"I can't hold them off forever! Now what?" His look shows annoyment. Adame continues to survey every nook and cranny. Leialet's out a sarcastic, bitter laugh.
"This is some rescue. When you came in here, didn't you have a plan for getting out?" Adame laughs again before making a reply.
"Thanks for pointing out the obvious" and she continues looking around and shoving her lightsaber in the wall. Han, on the other hand, points to Luke.
"He's the brains, sweetheart."Luke manages a sheepish grin and shrugs his shoulders. Obviously he had jumped the gun on the rescue. Adame and Qui-Gon share a look before turning to the now flustering Luke.
"Well, I didn't..." Leia looks at Adame , who nods. The princess grabs Luke's gun and fires at a small grate inthe wall next to Han, almost frying him. Han looks at her like she just wiped out a whole herd of banthas.
"What the hell are you doing?" Leia shakes her head, this man is sooo... infuriating.
"Somebody has to save our skins. Into the garbage chute, fly boy." She jumps through the narrow opening as Han and Chewbaccalook on in amazement. Chewbacca sniffs the garbage chute and says something. Adame laughs and nods.
" I know it smells, but it's the only way out." She casually strokes his head as Han replies to his comment.
'Get in there you big furry oaf! I don't care what you smell! Get in there and don't worry about it." Han gives him a kick and the Wookiee disappears into the tiny opening. Luke and Han continue firing as they work their way toward the opening. Han turns to Adame with a shake of the head.
"Wonderful girl! Either I'm going to kill her or I'm beginning to like her. Get in there!" She shakes her head and casually directs him forward, gesturing to her lightsaber.
"I've be trained to use it, i know what i'm doing, get in there, Qui and I can handle this." He nods waiting for Luke.Luke ducks laserfire as he jumps into the darkness. Han fires off a couple of quick blasts creating a smokey cover, then slides into the chute himself and is gone. Now only Adame and Qui-Gon remain. Qui-Gon nods a mischieveious grin on his face.
"Ladies first." He says, his eyes twinkling much like his father's. Adame knows that look as it is one Obi-Wan often gives Sabe. She shakes her head.
"You're enjoying this far too much, what's in it for you ?" Qui-Gon smirks as she begins to climb into the hole. The last words she hears as she drops casually to the ground is a comment on her ass.
"Picture it this way, I get a great look at your ass." Adame shakes her head, Qui-Gon had spent to much time with his mom, sabe was known for very sexual comments.
I get up for a moment shuffling around. I take off my cloak before sitting back down.
"Adame didn't really feel up to swimming in garbage, to coin my father's favorite phrase, she turned me and said "I've got a bad feeling about this." My dad shuffles around awkwardly. I laugh.
"She had good reasons for not wanting to be in that room, something was in it, this is where are day begins to take a darker turn."
Han tumbles into the large room filled with garbage and muck. Luke is already stumbling around looking for an exit. He finds a small hatchway and struggles to get it open. It won't budge. Adame drops casually, landing confidently in a very graceful manner. Qui-Gon follows her and they help each wipe the dust and dirt off their clothes. Han looks around before holding his nose with a grimace.
"Oh! The garbage chute was a really wonderful idea. What an incredible smell you've discovered! Let's get out of here! Get away from there..." Adame frowns realizing what he intends to do. Luke calls Han on it.
"No! wait!" Han draws his laser pistol and fires at the hatch. Qui-Gon pushes Adame down, also ducking himself.
"Duck, it'll ricochet."The laserbolt ricochets wildly around the small metal room. He didn't need the force to know that would happen, any moron knew that. Everyone dives for cover in the garbage as the bolt explodes almost on top of them. Leia climbs out of the garbage with a rather grim look on her face. Adame whips out her lightsaber and walks to the door. Luke turns to Han, exasperated to no end. This man is so arrogant.
'Will you forget it? I already tried it. It's magnetically sealed!" Adame smirks and nods to Qui-Gon.
"LookI can get us out of here,I just need some time, there's something in here." Qui-Gon looks around and tips his lightsaber in the muck lightly. Han totes his blaster pointing it wildly, which pisses off Leia.
"Put that thing away! You're going to get us all killed." Han sneers at her sarcastically giving her sidelong glance as if testing her reaction.
"Absolutely, Your Worship. Look, I had everything under control until you led us down here. You know, it's not going to take them longto figure out what happened to us." No one pays attention to Adame who is very slowly cutting down the door. Leia looks at him covertly.
"It could be worse.." A loud, horrible, inhuman moan works its way up from themurky depths. Chewbacca lets out a terrified howl and begins to back away. Han and Luke stand fast with their laser pistols drawn. The Wookiee is cowering near one of the walls. Han looks at Qui-Gon who is still sniffing around looking much like a fox in search of a rabbit.
"It's worse." Luke notices some movement in the water, movement that Qui-Gon is already following with a prowl.
"There's something alive in here!" Han gives him a sckeptical look and rolls his eyes.
"That's your imagination. Kid." Luke on the other hand is watching as it pasts his leg.
"Something just moved past my leg! Look! Did you see that?" Qui-Gon grins as he watches its next movement.
"Should've listened to Adame, she's usually right about these things." Han snorts incredoulously.
"What?" Luke looks frightened as somehting wraps onto his legs.
"Help!" Suddenly Luke is yanked under the garbage. Qui-Gon dives underneath after it. Han points his blaster at the water but can't see anything.
"Luke! Luke! Luke!" Solo tries to get to Luke. Luke surfaces with a gasp of air and thrashing of limbs. A membrane tentacle is wrapped around his throat. The see a flash of blue that severs the tentacle. Qui-Gon picks up the young boy. He smiles slightly.
"You should be more careful Skywalker, the force can only help you if you listen to it." Luke realizes who the boy is. "You're old ben's son,I should've know." Qui-Gon smirks again fondly " Recklessnes is a skywalker trait, it's one of the thingsI love about my wife most. She's your sister if you were wondering, she's six years older than you, she knew your parents." Adame turns to Qui with a frown on he face.
" Great, spoil the moment. Now he's gonna ask me a millon questions, nice job." Qui-Gon laughs and answers with a dry reply.
"I try." There is a rumble and Han looks around wildly.
"I've got a very bad feeling about this." Before anyone can say anything the walls begin to rumble and edge toward the Rebels. Luke looks at them.
"The walls are moving!" Adame laughs aloud with a fond grin.
"Very astute, now if you can hold it off, I can get this door open." Leia nods, a worried expression on her face.
"She's right. Don't just stand there. Try to brace it with something."They place poles and long metal beams between the closing walls, but they are simply snapped and bent as the giant trashmasher rumbles on. The situation doesn't look too good. Qui-Gon holds it back with the force slightly. Adame severs the door and stands back as it falls with a 'clang'.
"Well, it took me long enough, blasted doors."
