Some Things Never Go Right

Chapter 11

"I can't see a thing in this helmet." Luke said fixing the helmet.

He and Han and Chewie step forward to exit the elevator, but the door slid open behind them. Chewie and his two guards entered the old grey security station. Guards and laser gates were everywhere. Han whispered to Luke under his breath. "This is not going to work."

"Why didn't you say so before?" Luke asked.

Han turned to him, "I did say so before!" He harshly snapped. He could see this was going to go wrong already.

The Elevator doors opened and a tall, grim looking Officer approached the trio. Where are you taking this... thing?" His gaze landed on Chewie. Chewie growls a bit at the remark but Han nudged him to shut up.

"Prisoner transfer from Block one-one-three-eight." Luke said with more confidence than ever.

The officer narrowed his eyes. "I wasn't notified. I'll have to clear it." The officer goes back to his console and begins to punch in the information. There are only three other troopers in the area. Luke and Han surveyed the situation, checking all of the alarms, laser gates, and camera eyes. As the troops came closer to them. Chewie threw up his hands and let out with one of his ear-piercing howls. He grabbed Han's laser rifle. "Look out! He's loose!"

"He's going to pull us all apart."

"Go get him!" The startled guards are momentarily dumbfounded. Luke and Han have already pulled out their laser pistols and are blasting away at the terrifying Wookiee. Their barrage of laser fire missed Chewbacca, but hit the camera eyes, laser gate controls, and the Imperial guards. The officer is the last of the guards to fall under the laser fire just as he is about to push the alarm system. Han rushed to the comlink system, which is screeching questions about what is going on. He quickly checks the computer readout.

"We've got to find out which cell this princess of yours is in." Han said, as Luke looked around for any more troops. "Here it is... cell twenty-one-eight-seven. You go get her. I'll hold them here."

Luke raced down one of the cell corridors. As Han speaks into the buzzing comlink. "Uh, everything is under control. Situation normal." He tried to put off an official voice.

"What happened?" The voice asked.

Han looked at Chewie, who was holding the laser rifle and looked down, "Uh... had a slight weapons malfunction. But, uh, everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?" He asked.

"We're sending a squad up."

Han was growing nervous now. "Uh, uh, negative. We had a reactor leak here now. Give us a few minutes to lock it down. Large leak... very dangerous."

"Who is this? What's your operating number?" Han blasted the comlink and it exploded.

"Boring conversation anyway." He said to himself. He spun around to where Luke was heading.

"Luke! We're going to have company!" Luke stopped and turned then waved him off. He continued down the tunnel trying to find the princess.

Nadia paced up and down the control room, her hand playing with her Japor snippet necklace that Luke gave her for their one year anniversary. She always kept the necklace hidden under her tunic were it was safe. Her other hand held the comlink tightly. "Something must have happened they have been gone a while." She mumbled to herself. She was tempted to take her bun off but her hair would be everywhere then. She didn't exactly have a comb or brush with her either.

"Misstress Nadia, do please sit down. I'm sure they will come through that door any minute." Threepio said politely. He was just trying to keep her calm, she mused.

Artoo whistled something unintelligent because Threepio banged on his head. "Do shut up. We needn't worry her more."

Nadia looked at the comlink, hoping she would hear something soon.

Luke stopped in front of one of the cells and blasted the door away with a laser pistol. When the smoke cleared, Luke seen the dazzling young princess-senator. She had was sleeping and is now looking at him with an uncomprehending look on her face. He couldn't say that she wasn't beautiful, because she was. She let out a little noise as she seen him.

"Aren't you a little short to be a storm trooper?" Luke stood there staring at her then made a confused sound then took off his helmet, coming out of it.

"What? Oh... the uniform. I'm Luke Skywalker. I'm here to rescue you."

Leia looked confused and slid of bed she was in. "You're who?"

"I'm here to rescue you. I've got your R2 unit. I'm here with Ben Kenobi."

Leia went over to him, "Ben Kenobi! Where is he?"

"Come on!" Before he could lead her out of the cell, she pushed past him and ran ahead.

An ominous buzzing sound is heard on the other side of the elevator door. "Chewie!" Chewbacca responded with a growling noise. "Get behind me! Get behind me!" A series of explosions knocked a hole in the elevator door through which several Imperial troops began to emerge. Han and Chewie fired laser pistols at them through the smoke and flame. They turned and ran down the cell hallway, meeting up with Luke and Leia rushing toward them.

"Can't get out that way."

Leia looked down where Han was looking. "Looks like you managed to cut off our only escape route."

He looked at her. "Maybe you'd like it back in your cell, Your Highness." He said sarcastically. Luke took a small comlink transmitter from his belt as they continued to exchange fire with storm troopers that were making their way down the corridor. "Some things never go right!" He shouted, and Luke rolled his eyes while trying to communicate on the comlink.

"NADIA! NADIA!"

Nadia was sitting down on the chair, suggested by Threepio to help her calm down. She had been picking with her necklace and trying to ignore Threepio's banter with Artoo. If they were human I would strangle right now. Suddenly the comlink began to buzz, she reached over and grabbed and turned it on. "Luke are you okay?"

"NADIA! NADIA!" His voice was faint and sounded like he couldn't hear her. "We've been cut off! Are there any other ways out of the cell bay?"

"What was that?!" She shouted down the comlink. He was cracking up and it was creating a static down the comlink. Threepio and Artoo came over to her. She handed the comlink to Threepio.

"All systems have been alerted to your presence, sir. The main entrance seems to be the only way in or out; all other information on your level is restricted." Someone began banging on the door.

"Open up in there! Open up in there!"

Nadia gasped. "Oh, no." They forgotten all about the comlink then.

"NADIA? THREEPIO!" He give up and started firing with troops again. Han and Chewbacca were barely able to keep the storm troopers at bay at the far and of the hallway. The laser fire was very intense, and smoke filled the narrow cell corridor. "There isn't any other way out!"

"I can't hold them off forever! Now what?" He shouted over the noise.

Leia snorted. "This is some rescue. When you came in here, didn't you have a plan for getting out?"

"He's the brains, sweetheart!"

Luke managed to shrug his shoulders. "Well I didn't…" Leia snatched the gun of Luke and shot a massive hole in the wall facing her. It almost caught Han as he shouted at her.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" he checked his arm for any injuries, before firing back at the troopers.

"Somebody has to save our skins. Into the garbage chute flyboy!" She shot the troopers again before throwing the laser rifle back at Luke and then falling into the garbage hole.

Chewie started to follow her, then hesitated and growled at Han, "Get in there you big furry oaf! I don't care what you smell!"

Chewie still hesitated and growled again. "It's ok don't worry about it!" He kicked Chewie in and the two men kept on firing. It was getting tiring now, as they continued on.

"WONDERFUL GIRL. EITHER I'M GONNA KILL HER OR I'M BEGINNING TO LIKE HER!" Han shouted. Luke didn't know what to say, he just kept fighting back and looked at Han.

"GET IN THERE!" He shouted, and Luke threw himself in followed by Han.

Nadia grabbed Threepio and motioned for Artoo to follow her. She opened a door, which was a small supply room. Not much room, but it would have to do for them until the troops went away. The banging didn't decrease either. "Shhhh." She put a finger to her lips. Threepio still went on though. "Threepio quiet!" She hissed putting a hand over his mouth. Artoo had seemed to have gotten the message because he was quiet and still as a mouse.

"Do not make a sound." She took her hand of his gold mouth. He finally had shut up. They heard the door open and footsteps in the room.

Oh Great.
