A Rose In The Frost16

Han and Chewbacca led Padme along the series of passages to Leia's cell. Padme hissing them directions under her breath. The two stormtroopers outside her cell stopped them and the act began.

"Where are you going?" Asked one.

"Escorting the senator to see the prisoner." Said Han in his best "Evil villain" voice.

"Very well then." Said the second guard as they stood aside and left.

The smuggler, wookiee and senator all burst in on Leia while she was asleep. She woke up, sat up and starred at them.

Obi-Wan Kenobi walked silently into the main weapon's room,

"Artoo," he commanded Padme's little droid, "try and log onto the main systems computer."

A few seconds later Artoo beeped happily, Obi-Wan leaned over the computer and found what he was looking for a box marked

"Type in co-ordinates of planet to be destroyed."

Obi-Wan paused for a second, and then deleting Alderaan's co-ordinates typed in those of Datooine.

"Artoo close her down." He ordered the droid smiling grimly; next they had to shut off the tractor beam!

"What's going on?" Leia asked Padme.

Padme nodded at Han and co who removed their masks. Han pressed the door's lock, sealing them in while they talked.

"I'll explain later. Right now we have to get back to the ship, before Vader and his friends catch us."

"Look how are we going to do that. With her with us? The entire ship will be looking for her." Said Han gesturing at Leia as if she was something the cat had dragged in.

"I don't know who you think you are." Said Leia glaring at him.

"Han Solo." He said looking at her again. Padme coughed loudly.

 "Han, Chewbacca put those uniforms back on again. I have an idea."

Padme led two stormtroopers and Leia down the Death Star's corridors back to the room they started off in. It had looked as though several guards were moving Leia to a different cell. So far Padme's plan was working and no one had stopped them. Once they were all back in the room Han and Chewbacca removed their helmets.

"Your ships." Said Padme looking through a gap in the door. The falcon looked vaguely humorous alongside all of the sleek Imperial shuttles.

"I'll sort that out," replied Han waltzing forwards an overly self- confidant look on his face.

"No!" whispered Leia.

But it was to late. Han had dashed out of the room and shot three stormtroopers with his blaster the rest immediately turned fire on him.

Chewbacca with a loud growl then dived out to help Han.

Remarkably they managed to kill the five stormtroopers who were guarding the Falcon after a few seconds. But now they could hear footsteps charging towards them from all directions.   

A mille-second later Obi-Wan suddenly reappeared from the left, he had his lightsaber out deflecting bullets from the stormtroopers heading towards them. Leia followed his example and ignited hers. Padme starred at it briefly, but then turned to look at Obi-Wan.

"I've got the tractor beam down RUN." He yelled.

Padme and Leia didn't need telling twice. Chewbacca and Han ran on board. Leia, Padme and Obi were just meters away when a voice sounded behind them. "Going somewhere senators."

Stood behind them was Vader, his mask on and his lightsaber ignited. Leia and Padme spun round to face him. "What a reunion, my dear friends altogether again. I have finally worked out why Senator Amidala was so keen to save the princess. They look so much alike I should have guessed along time ago. A Jedi princess who'd have guessed?" Said Vader in a deadly voice.

Padme felt as though ice had cascaded over her, Vader knew. "How nice to see you again Vader." Said Obi-Wan calmly, whispering to Leia and Padme "Run."

Padme couldn't move, but Leia grabbed her shoulders and she seemed to snap back into life. The two dashed onto the ship. Vader let them go, he would finish Obi-Wan off first.
