Inside a corridor of the temple
Tomin and his pack of wolves were prowling one of the main hallways of the temple just outside of the dining hall, having been sent there under the strict orders of Jadis. She had told them to search for unsuspecting victims and spring a ruthless, merciless surprise attack on whomever they happened to find. So here they were, creeping and snarling in the hall as they looked for poor, helpless victims to attack.
"Come on, humans. You can't hide forever. You're going to die a slow, painful death anyway so face it like men." Tomin hissed.
Tomin continued to lead his wolves around the corridor as they desperately searched for innocent victims to prey upon. As they rounded the corner just past the dining hall, they heard two sets of loud footsteps coming up behind them. The hairs on their backs stood straight up when they heard these sounds.
"Are those humans, sir?" one of the other wolves asked Tomin.
Tomin was about to respond when the wolves heard a few loud laser blasts from behind them. They snarled as they turned around, ready to attack whoever it was that fired those shots. They were greeted with the sight of Han holding his blaster and Chewie holding his crossbow, both of them pointed right at the wolves.
"You Narnian scum! How dare you hurt my family like this!" Han yelled.
"Oooh, now we're really scared of you." Tomin said in mock fright.
"You should be scared. I got my buddy Chewie here with me and believe me, he's not someone you should mess around with." Han said as he pointed to Chewie.
Chewie roared quite loudly as he raised his crossbow at the wolves and placed one of his huge hands on the trigger, ready to fire it off again. The wolf henchmen cringed back in fear, but Tomin growled angrily for them to come forward and quit acting like cowards.
"Oooh, more weapons of light that we should be scared of. What makes you think that you can beat us, the white witch's secret police?" Tomin sneered.
That would be the last thing he would ever say, because Chewie immediately pulled the trigger on his crossbow and fired a few shots off with one of them hitting Tomin square in the back. The new wolf leader collapsed to the floor, never to rise up again.
"Anyone else care to make their move?" Han asked while Chewie let out another threatening roar.
The remaining wolves were now angry that their leader had been taken out yet again, but this time they decided not to back off and run away like they had when Maugrim was killed. They would avenge their fallen leader and kill off these two intruders.
"You make think you two are great fighters, but you're going to die like dogs!" another wolf yelled as he backed up a few feet and leapt at Han and Chewie, ready to claw them to pieces.
Fortunately for both Han and Chewie, they were very quick with their weapons and this wolf was also met with a death by Han's blaster. The surviving four wolves weren't deterred by this one bit and one by one, they attempted to leap at Han and Chewie to kill them off with their vicious teeth and claws. And one by one, they were picked off by the blaster and crossbow of the pilot and copilot who were defending their home and family. Eventually, one wolf remained and that wolf was Anterim, who was a top lieutenant in the secret police.
Han raised and cocked his blaster at Anterim to kill him, but Chewie lowered it with his big, furry hand and growled softly as if to tell Han "Wait, I know what to do."
"Chewie, what in the name of the maker are you…?" Han asked before he realized what his big, furry partner was about to do.
Chewie promptly marched over to a shaking Anterim and yanked him up with one hand by the scruff of his neck. He glared at the wolf as he just dangled from his big, furry hand and whimpered with fear. Chewie growled angrily in Anterim's face before he whipped him against the wall quite hard, breaking his back and neck so that he would never be able to hurt anyone again.
"Hey Chewie, nice move there." Han said as he patted his flying buddy on the shoulder.
Chewie roared a thank you growl at his old buddy as he patted Han on the head, then he softly growled a question to Han as if to ask "I wonder how the others are doing?"
"I don't know, but I hope they're doing allright." Han replied.
In the dormitory hall
"Are you sure we should have split up like this?" Susan asked Peter as the four Pevensie siblings stood anxiously outside the dormitories.
"At least we can better attack the enemies from all over by doing this." Peter replied.
"I'm scared." Lucy whimpered.
"Don't be, Lu. You should great courage by attacking Ginnabrik, plus you'll have us here to protect you." Peter said as he put his arm around her shoulder.
"We'll protect each other, Lucy. How does that sound?" Susan asked.
Lucy nodded in agreement as she squeezed her big sister's hand. She could tell that Susan was just as scared as she was, but she still put on a brave face when she encountered danger just like their brothers did. She wondered how Susan managed to do it and wished she could too.
Her fright was quickly increased when the four siblings heard the sounds of blasters being fired, wolves yelping, and a familiar voice yelling "You Narnian scum!" coming from the nearby hallway outside the dining area.
"What the blazes was that?" Edmund exclaimed.
"That's Han and Chewbacca! They're in trouble!" Peter yelled and bolted down the hall.
Susan, Edmund, and Lucy hurried after their older brother as they were anxious to help out their best friends' family. But as soon as they rounded a corner towards the dining area hallway, they were greeted with the sight of a group of 14 ogres grouped tightly together and standing in fighter's stances with their battle axes.
"Oh no!" Lucy screamed.
"Everyone, draw your weapons!" Peter yelled as he whipped out his sword.
Edmund followed by drawing his own sword with Susan loading an arrow into her bow and Lucy pulling out her dagger. All four Pevensies had the tightest grips they ever had on their weapons as the ogres began to advance towards them.
"Lucy, you be the lookout in case someone decides to attack from behind." Peter whispered to his little sister.
"But Peter—" Lucy whimpered.
"Just trust me, Lucy. You'll be helping to protect us all and besides, you're quite a threat with your dagger." Peter replied.
Lucy slowly turned around with her back towards her siblings as she continued to point her dagger towards an empty hall. She would indeed protect her family with her life if she had to, they were that important to her. Even so, she cringed at the sounds of the fighting going on behind her.
"Don't back down, Edmund!" Peter exclaimed as he stood shoulder to shoulder with his brother in the narrow corridor.
"I'm not backing down, you twit!" Edmund shouted back.
The two brothers had good reason to not back down as despite the fact that the ogres were so big and bulky they could only stand in two by two pairs, they were still creeping closer and closer towards all four Pevensies with their battle axes raised high in the air. Thankfully, both Peter and Edmund were great swordsmen and just as the two ogres in the front raised their axes to smash the brothers on the heads, they whipped their swords up and blocked the blows just in the nick of time. Seeing an opportunity, Susan aimed the arrow in her bow at one of the ogres, specifically at the one Peter was dealing with, and let it fly right into its neck.
"Thanks, Su." Peter said before he stabbed his sword right into the fallen ogre's heart, ending its life forever.
Meanwhile, Edmund was still preoccupied with the ogre that he was fighting. The ogre swung his axe at the young king yet again, but Edmund turned sideways and whipped his sword at the axe to block the blow. The ogre raised his axe high in the air to injure Edmund again, but instead felt a sharp, white hot pain in his stomach as Edmund thrust in his sword.
"That one's for my brother!" Edmund yelled as the ogre dropped dead to the ground.
"Thanks, Ed. But I think we better stay focused on getting rid of these ogres and staying alive." Peter said.
"Good idea, Peter. What do you suggest we do now?" Susan asked as she pulled another arrow from her quiver.
"I suggest we take one step backwards." Peter suggested.
"What in Aslan's name will that do?" Edmund asked in great surprise.
"Just do it, ok?" Peter said in exasperation.
Still firmly gripping their weapons, the four Pevensie siblings all took one giant step backwards down the hall. The ogres grumbled as they struggled to step over the fallen bodies of their dead comrades, as the two dead ogres were large and created a great obstacle for them.
"Now do you see what that will do?" Peter asked.
"Yes I do." Edmund grumbled.
Still standing shoulder to shoulder, both boys gripped their swords and pointed them at the next group of two ogres. Seizing an opportunity, Susan quickly loaded the arrow into her bow and raised it up to fire the arrow at an ogre so it would be incapacitated and give her brothers an easy advantage. Peter and Edmund had just begun to engage the ogres in a round of swordplay and Susan was just about to fire off her arrow when a shrill scream from Lucy startled all of them.
"Susan!" Lucy yelled and Susan turned around to see what her little sister had seen.
She immediately realized that Lucy had good reason to scream, for there was yet another ogre coming down the opposite end of the hallway right towards them. Susan immediately aimed her arrow at the ogre and released it from the bow. Her aim was dead on, as the arrow hit the ogre square in the chest. Seeing another opportunity to use her dagger, Lucy darted over to the fallen ogre and plunged her dagger right into its stomach, twisting it quite hard again before yanking it out.
"Good work, Lucy." Susan said as she patted her little sister on the shoulder.
"Thank you, Susan. But there's still more." Lucy said and pointed to the two ogres coming after Peter and Edmund.
The two Pevensie brothers were once again engaged in a bit of fancy swordplay with the ogres. Susan quickly loaded another arrow into her bow just in case she needed to fire it at a moment's notice. She soon got her opportunity when Edmund was standing with his back against the wall blocking the axe blows from the ogre he was dealing with. She released her arrow and watched it fly right into the back of the ogre's head. Edmund, meanwhile, quickly moved out of the way as the ogre fell down to the floor right at his feet.
"This one is also for my brother!" Edmund yelled as he raised his sword straight into the air and stabbed the ogre in the back.
Susan grinned at her little brother's determination and strength as he pulled his sword out of the ogre's back. She was quite proud of him as he had come a long way in his sword fighting skills since they first arrived in Narnia. Edmund proved his sword fighting skills yet again when he dashed at the ogre Peter was fighting and stabbed that one in the back.
"What did you just do, Ed?" Peter asked as he looked at the fallen ogre at his feet.
"Helping out my big brother, of course." Edmund replied.
"Oh, Edmund. You are too kind." Peter said as he ruffled Edmund's hair.
"Enough, you two. Look at that!" Susan said and pointed to the remaining ogres.
The four of them looked in the direction she was pointing in and noticed that the surviving nine ogres were backing away from them down the hallway, their battle axes still firmly gripped in their hands.
"What are they doing?" Lucy asked.
"I think they're retreating, Lu." Peter said.
"But we can't let them get away!" Edmund exclaimed.
"I know that, Ed. That's why we're going to go after them." Peter replied.
Edmund sighed as he followed his siblings down the hallway after the ogres with his sword drawn. The other three also had their respective weapons drawn out as they were determined not to let these ogres get away without a fight. But a fight was certainly not the only thing on Lucy's mind right now.
"I wonder how Jaina's doing." Lucy said to Susan.
"I'm not sure, Lu. But I hope she's allright." Susan replied.
