From-Heaven2Earth: Well, here's the update! Hope you like!
CHAPTER FIVE
Han was being led down the corridors, and he was making it as much as a hassle as possible for the storm troopers. He would purposely trip both himself as well as them, and once he reached around and tapped far side of one of the storm trooper's head, then thwacked him as the clone looked around. "Ha! I knew you couldn't see in those helmets. Trust me. I tried once. They're not even capable of withstooding blast fire, you krethin' idiot."
For that, he received a knock on the head from a hilt of a blaster, silencing him temporarily as they threw him and Chewie into the same cell.
After an hour, he awoke with a massive headache, and he groaned quietly, while Chewie cocked his head then poked him.
"Ahh... no, Chewie, I'm not in the mood, let me sleep..." Chewie roared. "What?" Han snapped, rising, rubbing the side of his head. A few more woofs and barks. "I'm not in the mood for listening to you correct me. Of course 'withstooding' is a word."
"Skywalker, I knew that when your fool of a father couldn't get any info out of you," started Jade, irritated, as she circled Leia like a vulture. "That you would be hard to crack. But I am not that easily apt to failure. You will tell me my desired information."
"I do not have a weak mind, Jade; you can't use your senile understanding of the Force to force me to reveal vital secrets of the Republic."
"Then, I suppose, I will introduce you to someone... I believe you've met...?"
Leia looked around sharply. A memory flashed before her eyes, of a cell, unlike this room, and a tall man dressed head to black standing slightly to the right and behind the droid coming at her. A black probe droid; circular, floating, with a long needle protruding at the left side when coming at its victim. Quite capable of making victims tell secrets they swore to never tell at all, torturous to mind... or the body... it became one big jumble when it actually bore on its victim. Leia has experienced this once before, when Darth Vader tried to get her to tell the location of the Rebel base, which she even refused to give after her home planet was destroyed by the Death Star.
"No..." she moaned.
"Tell me, and I might let you die peacefully."
Leia paused, then shook her head rapidly, starting to back away as it slowly floated towards her. Mara Jade stepped, so Leia backed up against her legs.
"I know that all you'll do is subject this to me, anyways, Jade." Leia said, her voice quivering.
"You overestimate me, although I'm quite flattered that you would think I would do that."
"It was not a compliment." Leia's voice and pitch rose as the probe droid kept coming nearer.
"Anything is a compliment, Leia, as long as you take it in the right sense."
Leia Organa-Skywalker was scared out of her wits. That in itself made her angry. She was supposed to be strong for her Republic. She will not accede. She set her trademarked determined glare, and sat up a bit straighter, ready to face this as it came to her. She will not give Mara Jade the satisfaction in knowing that she was as scared as a little girl.
A needle jabbed into her, and she tried to use her weak Force senses to override the pain as truth serum and drugs flowed through her veins, but to no avail. Leia gasped, clenched her teeth, then her mind went blank as the pain raided her thoughts, her senses. On hindsight, she could feel a tremor on the ship - but she couldn't tell how deep into the interrogation this was, because her awareness of time was depleted so every minute seemed like an hour, every hour seemed like twelve. Mara Jade was laughing in the background, that she could remember. The laughter stopped... shortly after... or before... or during the trepidation... was that in her head? Did it really happen, or was that how she was just feeling? She couldn't tell anymore, and at one point, she knew she collapsed.
x.x Sorry for the short chapter. I wrote some more, but after consulting two people I decided it needed to end there. There may be an update early tomorrow morning. By early I mean before five. xD
