A/N: Continues To Wait Impatiently
Valin once again felt around the walls of his surroundings. "There's not even a hope of escape using the Force, much less without it!," he complained. Mirax smiled and gave him a funny look, dispite the situation. "Maybe that's why it's called a prison cell?" She glanced up at the ysalamiri and back down to her son and her smile grew to a grin. "I have never seen you so restless." Valin let out an impatient sigh. "I've just never been in such an inclosed space before!" Mirax glanced around the small room. "I thought it was rather comfy to me," she muttered. Valin's jaw dropped. "WHAT?" "Well, considering we are their prisoners-" She was cut off by a loud scream from her son.
Valin listened with half an ear at his mom's explanation of why she thought the room that they were imprisoned in was comfy. Something didn't feel right. It was not through the Force; the ysalamiri hanging above his head prevented that, it was his physical senses that told him him to be aware and cautious. Suddenly, the floor beside him opened and a rodant- like thing came out. As it bit his arm, grabbed him, and pulled him down the opening, he screamed.
Jaina hastily gathered up her things. Mara had emphasized that time was restricted, as they had no clue what the Vong would do with Mirax and Valin. She glanced up only as Leia and Han entered. Pushing a lock of hair from her face, she stood up. "Be careful, kid," Han said. "Don't make me have to teach Jacen how to fly in Rogue Squadron." Leia just hugged Jaina. "Take care of yourself."
Jaina ran with Kell Tainer and Face Loran to cover. She stumbled, and Kell grabbed her arm. "Tired?" He asked, muttering to her ear. She sighed, and ducked to avoid being hit by a thudbug. The spaceride was pretty smooth, having only run into a few skifts, but when they arrived on Myrkr,well, the Vong seemed to be waiting for them. They were all wearing camouflage to match their enviroment, and the uniforms were all men's sized. Therefore every step that Jaina took made her outfit slip down farther. "Dang, sith spawned uniforms," she muttered. "I know what you mean," Danni Quee said. She was the only other female on the mission that wasn't a Wraith. Kell grinned as she struggled to hoist her long-blaster over her shoulder, and Jaina turned to Face, and a few other Wraiths. "Have you got the tracker?" She asked one with the name of somthing along the lines of 'Fritca.' "Yes." Jaina nodded, and turned to Danni. "Valin Horn's hair?" Danni nodded and dropped her pack. She opened it and pulled out a long,slim tube that contained a single hair inside it. Friza or Froopsie or whatever her name was took out the tracker, a hand held machine that had an opening at the bottom, and held it out to Danni. The scientist stuck the tube in the opening and turned it over. Jaina, Kell, and Face leaned over her shoulder. A tiny dot appeared on the radar screen.
Jaina crawled through a tunnel with Danni. They had insisted that they be the ones to get Valin and Mirax since they could use the Force. Jaina grinned, despite their situation. Danni saw her and cocked her head. "If you're laughing about our surroundings, I must sayyou're crazy as your brother. " Jaina shook her head, sending goo everywhere. "I hear that you and Jacen really got it-" "Oh, shut up." Danni turned away to hide her blush, but Jaina saw her neck, which encouraged her even more. "Come on.... is this where I cut the floor?" Danni checked the map and nodded, thankful for the change of subject. Now she just had to hope that Mirax wouldn't joke. Hah, like that's gonna happen. Jaina took out her lightsaber and plunged it into the roof. A 360 degrees circle slowly formed. Danni pushed it up and stuck her head through. "Valin?" She wispered.
Valin sat gagged, cuffed, and starved. Suddenly he heard the sound of a lightsaber igniting, and a blue bar of light was easily visible cutting a circle. He strained against the darkness to see who it was. "Valin?" a female wispered. It sounded familiar. He strained his eyes and could make out what looked like a head. "Where's your mom?" another voice, also familiar, asked. "Dwon twhe hwall," he answered, his voice muffled from the gag, trying to see his visitors. A lithe female figure pulled herself up and ran past him. He then recognized her as Jaina Solo. The other woman came closer to him, and he saw that it was a scientist, and was one of his mom's friends-Danni Quee. "Be still, Valin," Danni said, getting a sharp knife out of her backpack. She quickly cut the bonds that held him to the wall, and pulled the gag off of his face. "Where are we?" They both asked each other. "I thought you'd know," they both said. Danni grinned. "Well, let's get out of here." "What about Solo?" "She'll be alright."
Valin looked doubtful. "Now, come on," Danni said and lit her glowrod. Suddenly Valin's stomache growled. Grinning, Danni tossed him a ration bar. "We've got more on the ship," said Danni. She crawled back into the hole, with Valin behind her. "Ugghh!" He exclaimed, trying to get the goo off of his hands. "What is this, the sewer?" Her grin got bigger. "It just gets better."
