(Wow, four reviews, and all of them good! I can honestly say I have gotten no flames whatsoever yet! Not that I want any, in case you were wondering. BTW, as I've explained to someone, this may not follow the books/movies exactly, but thank goodness for 'creative liecense.')
Chapter 4
Luke looked at the statue. His nephew was right. There was someone inside. His mind kept flashing back to when Han, Anakin's father, had been frozen in carbonite. He remembered something Lando had told him a few years ago, when it had been brought up.
'You were meant to be put into carbonite. Vader only wanted to test the process on Han to make sure it wouldn't kill you.' his words echoed in Luke's mind.
If Vader wanted to test it on Han to make sure it wouldn't be fatal, then what if he was also testing it to see if someone could be brought back from the freezing. More specifically, her.
Anakin read the thoughts Luke was almost thinking aloud. "So what do we do now? I mean, we're not just going to leave her here... are we?"
Luke was silent, though Anakin knew he had heard.
"Uncle Luke, we can't just leave her like this."
Luke stood up, "You're right, though I really don't know what to do. I suppose we have to take her out of the carbonite, but we don't exactly have any medical equitment with us, other than emergency first-aid things in our packs. Bringing her out of the carbonite could kill her."
"Well, what if we take the whole block of carbonite? If someone could bring this in here, than we ought to be able to get it out."
"Why didn't I think of that?"
*()*()*()*
After *carefully* manuvering the block of carbonite out of the room, out of the castle, and down the hundreds of flights of stairs, and finally stopping when they got the block into the cargo hold of the ship, Anakin thanked the force that the wheather had held good as long as it had. It was pouring down sleet outside, but inside they were safe from the storm.
"So are we going to take her to Coruscant, or what?" Anakin asked.
"Actually, I think we should go back to the academy. We've got pretty good medical equitment there. We have to have it, training can get dangerous at times."
"But, why the academy?"
"Anakin, what's that clipped to her belt?"
"A blaster?"
"No, behind that."
Anakin took a step around, "Oh. But just because she has a lightsaber doesn't make her a Jedi."
"How else do you think she would wind up in a block of carbonite, in Vader's castle, and somehow getting into the dreams of people hundred of light-years away?"
"Oh."
"My best guess would be to take her back to the academy, bring her out, and then see what she has to say."
Anakin and Luke settled into the cockpit. During the time it took to get back to Yavin 4, Anakin amused himself by reading the journal he had picked up. Who wouldn't want to know the secret thoughts of a supposed mad-man?
