Han walked through the doors there were people singing in languages he could not understand and lots of bright colors. Maz was a bit ecentric. Han almost tripped over a round droid, it beeped at him angerly. " Sorry," he mumbled. Maz turned around. "HAN SOLO!" she said loud enough so that the entire place could hear. " Oh boy," said Han under his breath. Maz made her way over to Han and Chewie " I assume you need something, let's get it over with, follow me." said Maz. Maz led them over to a table and they sat down. Han opened his mouth to say something, but was inturupted when be heard a crash. Maz jumped up, " Stormtroopers" she said. " Stormtroopers!?" said Han. " We have to get out of here." Han and chewie quickly got up and headed toward the door. It was too late, the place was already flooded with Stormtroopers. Han and Chewie managed to sneak out, but there was even more Stormtroopers outside. The air was filled with gun shots and the sky with X wings and tie fighters. Han muttered something under his breath and Chewie growled angerly. Then Han noticed her. Standing in the middle of the chaos. Her gray hair was in a braid wrapped around her head, her back facing him. Then Han noticed the Stormtrooper standing behind her, his gun pointing at her head. Before Han could even think, he raised his gun, a shot rang out and the trooper fell to the ground. Leia turned around startled and their eyes met. They had not seen each other for nearly two years. Han and Leia stood like this for a while, just staring at each other. Han broke the silence. " You changed your hair," he said. It was the first thing that had popped into his mind. Before Leia had the chance to respond, someone yelled ." General, we have the Droid." His voice was drowned out by the sound of ship flying overhead. Then explosions erupted and everything went black.
Han blinked. Where was he? It took him a second to remember what happened. Leia! he thought. He quickly got up, pushing the debri off himself. He found Leia a couple feet away, unconscious. Her foot was pinned under something, he tried to pull it off, but it was to heavy. He needed to find Chewie. "Han," Leia rasped. " I'm right here, are you okay?" said Han rushing to her side. He knelt down beside her, Leia rested her head on his shoulder. "My foot is stuck," she replied weakly. " I know," said Han and he tried to pull the piece of broken wood off of her, but it would not move. " Han you need to go," said Leia. " The Stormtroopers are coming." "I am not leaving you sweetheart," Leia placed a soft kiss on his lips. " Han go," she pleaded. " I'm not leaving you again," he said. A Stormtrooper hit him on the back of the head with a gun and everything went black.
Leia opened her eyes she was lying on a cold hard floor and had a headache. She sat up and the room seemed to spin for a second. Leia recognized that she was in a cell. It was almost identical to the one on the death star. Han was beside her, he sat up. " Where are we?" he asked. " In a jail cell," was Leia's response. " I know that," said Han. " Why would I know where we are?" said Leia. "I don't know... the force." " That's not how it works," she said rolling her eyes. The door suddenly opened and two Stormtroopers grabbed Leia and dragged her out of the cell.
FN-2187 and RZ-1553 walked silently down the hallway, each holding an arm of the woman. They noticed she was limping and slowed down a little bit. They stopped when they arrived at a door. They were then instructed to wait outside and Kylo Ren took the prisoner. FN and RZ had been Stormtroopers their whole lives,but something still felt very wrong about what they were doing.
AY-7776 and PO-1423 escorted Han to the interagation room. They walked quickly and silently. The Stormtroopers stood to the side, while Kylo asked the man, " Where is the resistance base?" " I don't know," he replied honestly. Captain Phasma raised her weapon, but Kylo instructed her to stop. " He is telling the truth." "Should I kill him them?" asked Phasma. AY's heart sped up. "No," said Kylo. "He might still be of some use to us." AY let out the breath, she did not realize she was holding.
Kylo walked out of the room and told FN and RZ , " Take the prisinor back to her cell." FN and RZ walked into the room, the prisinor was lying on the floor. Her face was pale and she was shaking her, breathing shallow. FN did not know what kylo did to his prisoners, but he knew it was something terrible. He put an arm around her and pulled her up,he had to practically drag her back to her cell.
AY and PO escorted Han back to his cell. When he got there Leia was lying on the floor, trembling. He pulled his arms out of the Stormtroopers grasp and knelt down beside her. The door slammed and Leia flinched. Han pulled Leia into his arms and she rested her head on his shoulder. She took in a shaky breath, Han could tell she had been crying. "Its gonna be okay." Han said even though he didn't really belive it himself. "I didn't tell him," said Leia.
AY and PO entered their small room they shared with FN and RZ. They had lived together since they were young kids. They were all sitting on the old couch eating dinner. This was the closest thing they had to a family. FN spoke up "Do you ever feel like what we are doing is wrong?" he asked. "All the time," said RZ. PO nodded his head in agreement. "But there is nothing we can do about," he said sadly. "But what if we could do something?" said AY. "What would we do" asked PO. "I don't know..." said AY bitterly. "What about those new prisoners" said FN. "What about them," asked RZ. "They look vaguely familiar." The Stormtroopers nodded their heads in agreement. "Wasn't she the resistance general?" said RZ. "I think she is," said FN. AY jumped up, "I know where I saw them!" she said. AY pulled open the draw of her nightstand and dug through her clothes, until she found what she was looking for. AY pulled out a tiny photograph. "Look," she said, showing the picture to her friends. There was a teenage boy and a man and woman that looked like the prisoners, only younger. "Is the boy kylo Ren?" asked FN. "I think so," said PO. "Where did you get this?" "It fell out of Kylo Rens pocket," responded AY. "They are his parents!" exlaimed RZ. "Then why did he take them captive?" Just then they heard a robotic voice, "Lights out in one minute."
The next day.
AY, PO, RZ and FN entered Han and Leia's prison cell, they hand
cuffed them both and led them down the hall. They were following orders, trying to get through the day. FN's stomach churned as they walked down the hall, he knew that is was more likely than not, that they would die. Their steps echoed down the hall, the base was surprisingly quiet. Leia's eyes were hard and she held her head high, looking straight ahead. RZ wondered how she could be so calm.
When they arrived at the room, Kylo Ren and captain Phasma were there, accompanied by a handful of Stormtroopers. Kylo instructed them to tie Han to the chair. AY's hands shook, as she tied the rope.
"You have five seconds to tell me where the base is or he dies," said Kylo Ren. Motioning to Han who was tied to a chair. "Ben don't," pleaded Leia. Her eyes filled with fear. Why did she call him Ben? Wondered RZ. Was that his real name? "FIVE," said Kylo. Leia's heart sped up. "FOUR," she was gripping the railing so hard her knuckles were turning white. "THREE," her skin was so pale she looked like she was going to faint. " TWO," Phasma raised her weapon and Leia's lips parted. A single tear ran down her cheek. "ONE." Leia sqeezed her eyes shut. She heard a single gunshot peirce through the air. Her heart seemed to stop beating for a second.
