Ties that Bind, Chapter Seventeen.
Ahaha! I left ya hanging, didn't I? I bet you all are saying "Oh my god? Are they okay? What happened? Who did it?" Well, all those questions will be answered. I hope.
Shanesnest-yes, I know. I'm evil. You'll find out here soon. We've met our culprit already, but he/she/it had inside help.
Wedge was pitched to the floor as the ship rocked. Warning sirens blared as he picked himself up and dashed out of the room.
Onboard the Korriban, Leia cried out. She watched the Rebel Dream tilt, then right itself. She had just watched the Twin Suns approach and land in the Rebel Dream.
She barked orders, and the personnel complied.
Wedge stood in the entrance to the hangar bay. 'This is the hangar bay that I was supposed to come too. Someone wants me dead'. Then he saw the Twin Suns, flames flickering out of the interior.
"Jaina!" Wedge ran into the room, but couldn't go far. Flames covered most of the bay. He saw Mara run from the flames, coughing. She pulled Kyp with her. He looked around, and saw Jaden and Kyle limping to safety, but no Jaina.
"Where's Jaina?" Wedge asked Mara, and she shook her head.
"I'm not sure. She was right in front of me, then something exploded, and we were thrown all around." She told him.
"Can you sense her?"
"I can sense that she's not dead. She's hurt, though. I think she's under a ship." Mara coughed violently.
Luke ran into the room, concern etched on his face. He saw Mara and the others, and began searching for Jaina.
Wedge decided to do this the old fashioned way. He ran into the fire, and looked.
Jaina crawled under an X-Wing, and wiped her eyes. She looked around, and saw mechanics trying to get away from the flames.
She willed herself to remain calm. She could get out of this. She'd been in worse situations. She looked around for a possible escape spot, but found none.
"You What?" Sidious roared, while Alora stood against a wall, smirking.
"I put a bomb on the Rebel Dream. Either Miss Solo dies, or her boyfriend dies, and she comes to the dark side. Either way, we win." Alora drawled
Sidious shook his head at the pure idiocy of the plan. He must punish her, for her stupid mistake.
He lifted his bony hands and Sith Lightening shot from his fingertips.
Alora, expecting this, dropped to the ground, activating her lightsabers. She repelled the lightening, a wicked smirk on her face.
Jaina decided that she'd have to run through the flames, or risk the ship blowing up while she was under it.
She took a deep breath, and scrambled out from under the ship. She ran blindly, letting the force guide her.
Wedge ran through the chaos, looking for Jaina. He saw a shadow dart out from under a ship. He recognized her stance and how she ran. He knew who it was almost immediately.
"Jaina!" He called out, running towards her.
Jaina heard her name, and turned towards it as her blazer caught fire. She threw it off, leaving her bare arms open to the heat. Jaina ran towards the voice, flames licking her clothes and skin. She tried to keep her head above the flames, to make sure her hair didn't catch fire.
She tripped over debris and fell. Her clothes caught fire.
Wedge saw her trip. He reached her side in an instant, and tried to smother the flames. Abandoning that, he picked her up, and carried her out of the fire.
Alora anticipated every move of her master, blocking each of them accordingly. She spun her double bladed sabers like fans, and threw them at Sidious. They severed his arms, and he fell to his knees, crying out.
"Who's the master now?" Alora bragged, while he glared at her. She snickered, and fished his lightsaber from his belt.
"Only fitting that you die from your lightsaber, as you did to him" Alora activated the saber, and plunged it into his temple.
Wedge set Jaina down on the floor, and Luke ran over. Luke cursed (((I'd put it in here, but Its too obscene for this story, and its in Huttese anyways, and I'm not fluent.))) and ripped off her charred clothes. Jaina coughed, blood coming up. Wedge cursed now, while Mara ran to get a medic.
Luke ran his hands over the burns, mostly second and third degree, concentrating on healing her.
Cilghal ran in with Mara, and she knelt down next to Jaina. Wedge felt helpless. He wasn't force sensitive, there was nothing he could do for her.
"She needs to be in a bacta tank. There's nothing more any of us can do." She said, Luke stepping away. Wedge didn't need the force to notice that he was angry.
" Luke, if it's any help, I got a note to come down here a few moments before it happened." Wedge told him, and Luke nodded curtly, and ran out the room.
Han landed the Falcon in the Korriban's hangar bay, and hurried off the ship. They ran to the med bay, where they found Cilghal putting Jaina into a bacta tank.
Leia nearly cried. She wasn't getting anything from her daughter. Nothing.
Wedge stood next to the bacta tank. Leia walked next to him, and put her arm around him. He flinched.
"Your hurt." Leia told him, and he waved her away.
"I'll be fine. I've had worse." He said sullenly. He lifted his hand and pressed it on the glass of the tank.
"Its my fault!" He cried brokenly. Leia pulled him to her and hugged him.
"If I hadn't been with her, someone wouldn't of targeted me! Someone wants me dead, or her dead or something! I don't know. I knew being with her was going to be dangerous, I anticipated it. I knew people were going to try to kill her, or kill me to turn her to the dark side! I just didn't expect it now!" He sobbed into Leia shoulder.
"Was my plan successful?" Alora asked, standing as a hologram aboard the Korriban. She was in private quarters of a high ranking officer.
"Partially, Milady. Admiral Solo is in critical condition." He said.
"Good. Finish her."
YES! EVIL! HAHAHA! Oh…..sorry. I blame chocolate. Anyway, you know the drill.
