Chapter6- Walking the Path of a vision
Lt. Amidala, Gen.Kenobi and the team of Rebels, left Alderaan for there mission to the Star Destroyer. This was an important mission, no failure can not occur. This mission was important to the Rebellion, to save comrades and to retrieve information useful to the Rebel Alliance. Padme, holding on to an over head bar handle on the Imperial shuttle, looked on at her team as they were getting ready to play their roles as troopers and prisoners…She smiled. She is amazed at herself for the things she is capable of, after all she has been through. She loved being a part of it all; the action, the adventure, the victories. She was definitely born for this…too be a leader, someone the rebellion can look up to and depend on.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alright rebels, we are approaching to the Destroyer, get ready." Lt. La'dima commanded. "Those acting as prisoners keep your weapons hidden but at bay, just in case." The Lt. added as she smiled and nodded to Aayla who was acting as one of the prisoners. Lt. La'dima headed over to the window over looking the front of the shuttle. "If we are lucky, we will only have 4 stromtroopers stationed at the loading dock." Lt. said. "Don't worry about that, they are not expecting the Rebel Alliance to attack from the inside. They expect us to attack from the outside, most troopers will be on gunners and if we are lucky, on Recon, else where." The General smiled.
The Imperial shuttle began to close in on the Destroyer. "This is the star destroyer of the Galatic Empire, what is your purpose?" A voice from the destroyer communicated. "This is the Imperial Class Shuttle F-092, we have captured Rebels on a Recon mission, we believe they will be useful. We are requesting that they be brought in for questioning." The Pilot of the Shuttle answered back. "Please submit your flight code." The voice commanded. The Pilot entered in a 7 digit code. "Thank you…you are clear for landing, please proceed to landing dock 3." "Thank you." Lt. La'dima, addressed the team, "This is it Rebels, you know what to do, we will make this quick and quiet. Good luck and may he force be with you." They all nodded and prepared to breach the Star Destroyer.
Padme, Obi-Wan and R2D2, hid in a roof compartment of the shuttle, just incase the troopers on the destroyer searched the shuttle. The Shuttle landed and 3 storm troopers were there to meet them along with 4 droid troopers in the distance. The troopers aimed their blast rifles at the entrance of the shuttle, they had to be prepared for anything. The door slid open, the troopers lowered their guns.
The rebel trooper walked out and the prisoners followed with faulty handcuffs. The other rebel troopers followed, pushing the rebel prisoners violently. "You caputered quite a few of them." The stormtrooper mentioned. He pulled some of the hoods down on the rebels, "Well what a yaa know, you captured a Twi'lek, you don't see too many of those fightin' in the rebellion…You find most them entertainin" the stormtrooper laughed a bit. Aayla gave him a dirty look, she was so anxious to grab her lightsaber but she calmed her nerves and continued with the plans. Another trooper spoke, "we have 5 more rebels in the holding cell, you can head straight down there. The stormtroopers left and the rebellion continued on with the mission. The pilot communicated to Lt.Padme, that it is ok to come out. Padme, Obi and R2 went to the front of the shuttle, "what is wrong he asked the pilot?" "The, droids, they are still there" "we can take them out General" One of the Rebels suggested." "No, for the time being we should avoid any unnecessary combat…what we need is a distraction." General Kenobi said.
R2-D2 slowly inched out of the shuttle. "beebebebebe doooo opopop" "whats that"one of the droids askeds"what's what?" another asked "bebebebeb opopopop bebebebe" "That noise" "Yeah, I heard it this time""Look" as the droid point to the shuttle "Its just a stupid astro droid."
Three of the droids went to over to the shuttle, as they got closer R2 began to back into. As the droids got closer Padme used the force to pull the blast guns from their hand. "Wha..what's going on?" "A Jedi!" "No" Obi-Wan said jumping behind them. 'two jedi" Obi and Padme engaged their lightsabers and disassembled the droids.
"Hey guys?" The other droid asked wondering what they are doing. R2, peeked out at him and beeped a rude comment. "R2, don't tease the driod" Padme laughed. The droid got closer to R2 "you dumb droid, where are the others?" The droid asked rudely. "where you are going to be, space trash." Obi-Wan said as he slashed the trooper droid to pieces "And he called you dumb! R2" "eeeeooooo" R2 answered back.
"While it seems clear for now Obi, we should try and retrieve information," Padme suggested. "Right." "Remaining rebels, guard the ship and keep the communication open, let us know if you see or here anything." "Alright General" Padme, Obi and R2 headed off to the west side of the Destroyer being cautious of any storm troopers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Rebel troopers and prisoners proceeded to the Cell room. They were greeted by an Empire guard who had the access password to open the cells. "More Rebels eh? Well looks like we are gonna have to squeeze them together" The guard said. Aayla was quick to act, using her Jedi mind trick. " You will enter in the password to open all cells" "I will enter in the password to open all cells" The guard repeated and proceeded to do so. Aayla followed him as he entered in the password. The cells opened and the rebel prisoners came out. The other Rebels provided them with extra weapons they were carrying. "You will go to sleep now." Aayla continued to use the force . "I will go to sleep now." He repeated. He started to get drowsy, Aayla decided to punch him, "He'll sleep a bit longer". She dragged him into the cell and the rebels began to retreat to the shuttle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Padme, Obi and R2 reached the Computer tech room. Padme stood there for a second, "I sense 3 people in the room" "Alright, lets make this fast and quiet….actually, wait." Obi decided to open the door by using the force. He slowly lifted it and rolled under, the door retracted and Obi engaged his lightsaber. The communications technicians were caught by surprise. Obi wounded two of them and knocked them out cold. The third man he knocked down. "You will stay where you are" "I will stay where I am." The tech relied forced by the Jedi trick.. Obi opened the door and let Padme and R2 in. "R2, we need you to hack into the main system and retrieve any information, focus mainly on rebel opposition." Padme specified to R2. "It's not going to be easy Lt., R2 might have to hack through at least 3 protection codes." Obi mentioned. "Hopefully he is fast enou…Noo,"
Padme put her hand up to push the technician away but it was too late. He hit the security alarm. "My mind isn't that weak Jedi" the tech said with discuss as he reached for a weapon behind his back. Padme jumped to action using her light saber to cut his arm. "The Rebels General! I will head back to the shuttle to see if they are there already, you and R2 stay here as long as you can. Use your com to let us know of your situation." "Padme be careful, you are too important to get captured" "I know", she said, "yet so are my people." She ran out of the room, heading down a narrow hallway towards the flight dock. "You!" a trooper yelled, "surrender Rebel." "I surrender to no one" Padme engaged her saber. She fought against the stormtroopers, quickly and mercilessly. She continued down to the dock, not letting any troopers get her way.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Rebel's heard the alarm and began to move quickly, they had reached the dock and at the same time so did the storm troopers. Aalya and her team where not going to back down just yet. The rebel troopers removed the helmet and prepared to fight. "Move fast and hard and attack when you need to, watch every man around you, make sure we all get to the ship" Aayla commanded. The Rebels in the shuttle provided cover. "Go..Now" she yelled. The rebels ran out and weapons began to fire, this was a full out battle between good and evil.
Padme reached the dock, she attacked troopers from behind, not knowing she was there, she sliced her way through the troops with her saber. For a moment Padme was distracted, something in her body made her shiver with coldness. A stormtrooper took the advantage and knocked her down. He aimed to shoot at her . "Lt." Aayla yelled, she used the force to shove the trooper over. His blast gun hit the lighting and pieces if debris began to fall. Aayla ran to Padme, "Lt. are you alright?" "Obi and R2, they are down that way." She said trying to catch her breath. "They may need help" " Ok…Jahlec, Treyco, Zyette, head down that corridor, they may need you" Aayla commanded.
Padme got back on her feet and continued to fight, but then again she beganto feel cold. She tried not to let it distract her. The lighting on the dock short circuited and it grew a bit gloomy. Padme looked up and a little bit of smoke began to mist the air from the circuit. "What is this feeling?" Padme thought. "Is the force trying to tell me something? But why does it feel this way?" When Padme looked down, at eye level, she saw a corridor and beyond that she could see a light, emitting behind a doorway. Padme eyes widen, and she looked at it with fear. "No, it can't be" she whispered to herself. "The door in my dreams." She thought.
Padme felt a force approaching behind it and she felt drawn to it. She turned around to ignore it. So many things were racing through her mind, she closed her eyes for a moment. "I must face my fears and trust in myself" Padme thought. She turned back around and began to walk towards the door.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Come on R2, did you get anything yet" Obi asked impatiently." "eeeee, oooooo" Which meant no." "beeeb beep beep" R2 went frantic. "You got in, good, now be quick, I don't think we can stay here mu…." Obi was interrupted by driod troops entering the comtech room. "R2 watch out, the trooper droid shot a blaster gun at R2" "Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" R2 had electrical glitches all around him. Obi went into action taking out four of the droids. More where coming in but were stopped by a blast guns. "General Kenobi, your escorts" The rebel said humoring the situation. "Come on R2…Rebels, lets get the hell out of here." Obi said.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Padme began to approach the door, everything around her cease to exist. It seemed like the fight around her all disappeared. She felt like she was in a trance, being drawn to this door. She felt a presence, but what was it, all she knew was that it was pulling her to it.
"Lt." Aayla yelled wondering what Padme was doing. She began to run to her but was stopped by the crossfire. "Arrgh!" Aayla got shot in the arm. "Aayla.!" A rebel yelled. He went to her aid and got shot down as well.
With all this action going Padme seemed to be out of tune with it and could do nothing but focus on the door. She was getting closer. The feeling drew stronger, her heart was racing with fear and adrenaline.
Padme was heading down the corridor, she was out of sight from the rebel alliance. Obi-Wan and the rebels arrived to the dock and engaged into the action. The droid army was quickly taken out but there were still many stormtroopers. Obi saw that Aayla and another rebel were hurt. "Jahlec, Treyco, help them, get them to the shuttle." Obi Commanded. "Tell the Pilot to get the shuttle ready, we can't afford being stuck here." The two Rebels ran into the action, Obi provided cover. The Rebels assisted the hurt comrades to the shuttle.
"Rebel Alliance, retreat to the shuttle,go, go" Obi yelled The reaming team and R2 headed towards the ship. Obi-Wan ran as the Rebels at the shuttle provided cover. Obi-Wan made it. "Alright is everyone here?" "Obi…Padme, she's still out in the Destroyer." Aayla said painfully. "What, where is she" He asked, "She headed down the corridor on the west side of the Destroyer." "Why…alright, Im going back out to get her" Obi opened the door and saw more troopers firing and heading towards the ship. "General, we can't go out there. We are out numbered!" Treyco reminded him. "I know." Obi thought . "But, we can't leave Padme here, we can't!" He said looking at the team with worried eyes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Padme got closer to the door. Just inches away she stopped and stared at it for a bit. She looked down for a moment thinking. "My dream has brought me to this spot, but it did not show me what is pass this door. Only I can choose whether to live out this dream. Why was I brought here? What is this leading me to, is it towards you…Anakin? Is this the chance I am given to get you back." Padme looks up. She put her hand towards the door button to open it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He felt something approaching to door. It is something he hasn't felt in a long time. A warm, present feeling. It almost felt light and peaceful, something he only felt when he was with her. Who is this person behind the door, he thought. He put his hand up to open the door.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The door opens. But it wasn't opened by Padme. She backed away and engaged her lightsaber. The person on the other side too engaged his lightsaber. Padme looked at this person stranglely. She looked at this person in this dark black suit. He too stared at her wondering who this masked person was. Padme looked at the masked face of this person. She felt a presence she hasn't felt in over 4 years. She lowered her light saber, and all she could udder was….
"Anakin?"
