Chapter 3- A Jedi Knows no Pain
Arlon Base, 205 days since B.O.E, 0700 h
Lyanna Arlon fumed as she paced around her command room. It was impossible. Lyanna refused to believe what had happened. A prisoner had been stolen from right under her nose. After six months she had finally found a clue to her father's past and now it or rather he was gone, taken by the Imperials. Why were the Imperials so interested in him, or perhaps, was he an Imp? No matter, she had to get him back.
Lyanna strode to her father's most trusted advisor, Onios' room. "I'm am leaving tonight Onios. I have to recapture the prisoner".
"Why do you have to go after him alone? If you would just wait, the troops could be gathered!"
"I just have to, this is important to me! If I wait he might die!"
"More important than the Arlon Network and its hundred employees?" Lyanna ignored Onios' question and continued. "I'm leaving you in charge, goodbye", and with that, she strode back to her room to pack her bag.
Imperial World of Taopal, 209 days from B.O.E, Outer Rim territory
1500h
"He's not responding to stimuli any longer" said the probe droid.
"Bring him back to his cell" the interrogator said grimly.
This particular captive was extremely strong-willed. It would take a long time to break his will. Interrogator Taim was unlike his fellow interrogators, a compassionate man. It was only because the Imperials had threatened his family that he worked for the Empire.
He looked sympathetically at the young man in front of him. As Taim looked at the young rebel's relaxed features and realized that the boy was younger then he had judged. At first, from the rebel's words and his strong will, he had guessed him to be around 25 or 26. But now he looked to be barely 23 years old.
The probe droid extended its pincer arm and grabbed the prisoner before transporting him to his cell. Suddenly, there was a flash of light and the droid was knocked out. Lyanna dragged the captive to the side. Just then, Taim came out of the room. Lyanna brought her blaster up to target him. "I have no objection to you taking him away."
"Why should I trust you?"
"You have no choice. If you kill me and I don't log in my report within the next few minutes,
alarms will be sounded. I am willing to help you if you let me escape too." Lyanna stared hard at him before lowering her blaster.
Finally she nodded. "Very well, help me carry him to hanger 427, my ship is there." The pair made their way to the exit, the unconcious youth between them.
Chapter 4- Rescue
Arlon Base ,218 days from B.O.E, 300h
"Lyanna you have to rest. Depriving yourself of sleep is not going to help the captive in any
way!" Onios exclaimed.
" He's right you know" Taim said.
Lyanna glared at them before resuming her pacing outside the operating theatre where Too-Onebees were operating on the rebel. Through the days they had spent together on the voyage back, Lyanna had learnt that the prisoner was actually a rebel. Other then that, Lyanna had also learnt about the Imperial Interrogator himself. She had grown less hostile as she came to know of his sob story.
Suddenly, a shrill sound sounded from the comlink. "Captain Arlon, a group of rebels have come from the Alliance in search of the ambassador they sent you!"
Just moments later, a petite hazel haired woman strode followed by a man and a ferocious Wookie burst through the door. Lyanna studied them. The woman was a diplomat that much was certain from the way she was dressed. The man and the wookie were something of an enigma. For while the man acted like a rebel, he wasn't wearing a rebel uniform. The wookie likewise wore nothing to show his allegiance to the Rebel Alliance.
Suddenly, Lyanna realized who the rebels were. The woman was Princess Organa and the man and his Wookie companion were Han Solo and Chewbacca! The trio along with the Jedi Skywalker had done much for the rebellion.
At that moment fear struck in Lyanna's heart. Could it be... she thought looking dazedly at the blond haired blue-eyed man in the medical ward. Could he be the infamous Luke Skywalker? That would explain why the Imperials had wanted him. How could she have been unable to recognise him? Looking at the anxiety on their faces, Lyanna realized that she would have to tell them the truth.
Chapter 5: Recovery
Arlon Base, 218 days from B.O.E, 1000h
"That's the truth, I did not harm your ambassador intentionally!" The Alderaanian Princess looked at Lyanna, her eyes blazing with rage before she relaxed her shoulders forcefully and sighed. " I believe you but what I decide to do depends on whether my brother recovers", came the calm, slightly icy reply.
Lyanna sighed and gathered the holodisks in front of her, "My aide will take you to see him now". Leia strode off, leaving Solo and Chewbacca behind.
"If anything happens to him..." the Corellian left his words unsaid
" I rather doubt that the Rebellion would wish to start another war so soon after Endor; besides I was under the impression that the rebel leaders were not so foolish that they would start a battle over a single man!" Lyanna retorted back.
" The Alliance's leaders may not want to start a war, missy. But Luke's got a lot of friends and most of them are more then ready to risk their lives for him." Lyanna just kept quiet and stomped out.
To be continued in Chapter 6-Who am I?
Chapter 6- Who am I?
Arlon Base, 220 days from B.O.E, 1300h
Leia watched silently as the med droids removed Luke's seemingly lifeless body from the bacta tank. A single tear rolled down her cheek. She could not accept the fact that her brother might be lost to her so soon after she had discovered him. All that time..all those years he was right there and I never realised....Leia's thoughts trailed off as someone intruded.
" I didn't mean for him.." Lyanna started.
" It's alright, you already told me why, besides i'm sure Luke'll be fine"
"Well, then I better get going. I have some things to take care of "
Leia sighed with relief as Lyanna left. For some reason, a part of her just couldn't help blaming Lyanna for Luke's condition. But, the Alliance needed the Arlon Network's intelligence service and firepower and Leia had learned long ago that the Rebellion had to be put above the welfare of any single person....even a decorated hero who had risked his life time and again..she thought bitterly. Moreover, Lyanna had already explained why she had captured Luke and shown Leia the holograph. Lyanna.....the woman was something of a mystery. In many ways, she reminded Leia of her own self. And there was that nagging feeling that she ought to know her...
Suddenly, there was a flurry of activity in Luke's room and Leia rushed inside. "What's wrong?" she demanded at the nearest 2-1B. "Ma'am the patient is awakening, please wait outside until he has been stabilised".
