Ties that bind, Chapter twenty
How about that party, eh? I've always wanted a party like that. Wild, fun. Anyways…….at the end of this chapter, I'll give you a sneak preview of my upcoming story, Labyrinth of Evil. Enjoy!
Shanesnest-Oh ,yeah. They can party. Especially the Solo kids. All Corellians can party.
Rogue Lister-Welcome back, indeed. Welcome to the twisted Ties that Bind, who ever you are!
"All freighters accounted for." Wedge said over the com unit. He was on board Galactic Voyager, Jaina on Rebel Dream. They had split up, knowing they'd distract each other.
Wedge looked at the list of Freighters. Korriban, Galactic Voyager, Rebel Dream, Dodonna, and several others. The Hapans had joined them, and their ships had enlarged the fleet.
"Prepare to jump to hyperspace on my mark" Ackbar rumbled from Galactic Voyager.
As one, the fleet jumped into hyperspace, Millennium Falcon, Lady Luck, and Wild Karrde trailing behind. Mara stood at the helm of the Karrde. 'One last time, buddy' she thought as it jumped into hyperspace.
"Milady, they're on their way." General Mora of Echidna informed Alora.
"Good. Deploy the hyperspace mines. I want all the fleet halted. When they detonate, do not fire."
"Yes, Admiral Sev'rance."
Jaina, off duty for the moment, sat in the officer's lounge. She was reading the data on the fleet Alora has supposedly raised. Around Belkadan, no less. Farthest edge of the galaxy!
Lieutenant Riekal walked in, wearing long pants and a sweater, even though it was warm in the club
"Lieutenant? Come here." The girl was seventeen.
"Y..yes Admiral?"
"Are you okay?" Jaina asked. Either you answer truthfully or I find out with the force
Riekal knew this. She didn't want to say anything, though.
"Lieutenant?"
"Okay! My boyfriend, Capitan Jarret, he..well, he's abusive."
"What! Not on my ship?" Jaina asked.
Riekal nodded. "While we're on duty, too."
"Oh, no no no. No one is going to get abusive with one of my best pilots. Not now. And This is just wrong. Where is he?"
"Don't. He'll know I told you. And anyways, he's coming here. Please don't say anything to him"
"He can get arrested. I'm not gonna let him beat up anyone on my ship, or other ships. Is that him?" Jaina was pissed.
"Yes…." Riekal shrunk back as Jaina marched up to him
"Jarret!"
"Yes, Admiral?" He answered innocently. Then he saw Riekal.
"Whatever she told you is a lie." He said automatically.
"You're under arrest, Jarret. I don't have time for this crap. If you-" He backhanded her. Jaina stood there for a moment, amazed at his audacity. No one in his or her right mind would hit her on this ship. She punched the bastard back.
"Did you just hit me?" He asked. He was twenty four, and twice as big as she was. Jaina didn't care.
"Yeah. What the hell are you gonna do about it?"
"Kick your ass, Admiral."
"Do it then."
Wedge needed a drink. He went into the officers lounge on Galactic Voyager. It was broadcasting something from Rebel Dream. Holy shit….
Jaina dropped to the ground. Obviously she had much more combat training. She swept his feet out from under him, and pulled a shock stick from a nearby table.
"I said you're under arrest, dammit!" Jaina stunned him and cuffed him.
Riekal blinked. Jaina did that? She didn't think anyone could stop him. " Thank you, Admiral!" Riekal dashed out of the room.
Something exploded, and the ship shuddered out of hyperspace.
"Shit!" She barked, running out of the lounge and to the Bridge.
"What the hell happened?" She asked, striding through the doors.
"Hyperspace mine. All systems are down."
"What ships are hit?"
"Seems like all of them, except for the Korriban."
" How long until we can get systems back up?" Jaina pushed her hair back from her face.
"Ten minutes minimum, Admiral."
"Sir, scanning has picked up several ships in the area."
"TIE fighters!"
"We're trapped!" One corporal cried.
Four Interdictor crusiers surrounded the New Republic ships.
"Prepare for boarding." Jaina said solemly.
Oh..they're in trouble now! HAHA!
