Chapter 6: Death of a Friend

Han was disgusted. "The garbage chute. Great idea."

Leia yelled at him as Lila tried to blast open the door. "Well, its better than being pushed out the airlock as a dead body!"

"Will you two just SHUT UP!" roared Lila as she poised her blaster.

"No! Wait! It's magnetically sealed!" shouted Luke.

Too late. Everyone ducked as a laser bolt ricocheted around the chute.

"Will you put that thing down, your going to get us all killed!" snapped Leia.

Lila aimed her blaster at Leia's head. "You may be princess of Alderaan, but you have no power over me."

Leia turned to Han. "Can't you control her?"

"Why would I be able to do that?"

"Well, seeing as how you two are so alike, I thought she was your girlfriend."

Luke, Lila, and Han stared at her.

"EW!"

"Are you kidding me? Why would I go out with HER?"

"Are you CRAZY!"

Chewbacca growled. Han rolled his eyes. "Look, your Worship, I had everything under control until you brought us down here. It won't take them long to find out where we went."

A long inhuman moan sounded. "Guess what, Your Highness-ness," said Lila mockingly. "It just got worse."

"There's something alive in here," stated Luke.

"Its your imagination," growled Han.

"Look! Did you see that?" said Leia suddenly. "Something just moved past my leg."

Luke yelled and was suddenly pulled under the garbage. "Luke!" shouted Han.

Everything was quiet. Lila ignited her lightsaber. Luke's head burst up through the murky water, gasping for breath. A tentacle was wrapped around his neck. Lila's lightsaber hummed as it cut through the slimy appendage. A squeal of pain resounded through the chamber. The tentacle wiggled in the air, and then disappeared.

"Oh, shit . . ." said Lila. The walls had started to move in.

"Don't just stand there, try and brace it with something!" shouted Leia.

Luke pulled out his comlink. "Threepio! Come in Threepio!" Lila drove her lightsaber into the door and started melting a hole through it, but it was too big and she soon gave up on that line of thinking.

Luke was still shouting into the comlink. "Threepio!"

"One thing's for sure, we're all going to be a lot thinner!" muttered Han.

Threepio, apparantly, had picked up the comlink. "Shut down all the garbage mashers on the detention level, you hear me?"

The walls stopped moving in. Lila grabbed the comlink. "Now open the maintenance hatch in unit 326827!"

The group stumbled into an unused corridor. Han glared at Leia and Lila. "now if we can just avoid any more female advice, we should be okay."

Lila punched his arm. Leia frowned at him. "I don't know who you are or where you came from, but from now on, you listen to me. Okay?"

"Look, your Worshipfulness, lets get this straight. I take orders from one person. Me!"

"It's a wonder your still alive. Will someone get this big walking carpet out of my way?" Han rolled his eyes. "No reward is worth this," he muttered.

Lila pulled Leia aside. "You have a clear head, and I can work with that. But first you have to learn to think before you talk." She looked down. "Ben always said your father was a great man. I'm sorry to hear that he died." She ran off after Han and Luke, leaving a stunned Leia behind.

They ran down a hallway and into a room overlooking the Millennium Falcon. Leia raised her eyebrows. "You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!"

"Nice. Come on!" Han ran down the hall and straight into a pack of stormtroopers.

"Its them blast them!" Lila ran after him, lightsaber at the ready. Chewbacca started after her. "Get to the ship!" yelled Han.

"They certainly have courage," said Leia.

Luke looked at her. "What good will it do us if they get themselves killed?"

Lila sprinted straight into Han as the stormtroopers reached a dead end and were forced to stand and fight. The stormtroopers moved into an attack formation as Han ran down the hallway the way he came. Lila cut off a few heads, thought the better of it, and followed him. They passed Chewie, who started to follow them.

"Are we going to stand and fight or what?" yelled Lila.

"You can, I'm not going to!" came the reply. Lila sighed in frustration, stopped, and turned around to face the oncoming stormtroopers. However, after she earned a blaster shot in her arm for her efforts, she gave up and jogged back to Han.

She found them leaning against the wall casually, watching the same stormtroopers search the hangar for them. "Didn't we just leave this party?" muttered Han as Luke and Leia approached.

"what took you so long?" asked Lila.

"We ran into some old friends," replied Leia. "Is the ship alright?"

"Seems to be, if we can get to it," said Han. "I just hope the old man got the tractor beam out of commission."

They walked over to the ship, because all the stormtroopers happened to be looking at something else. Lila, curious, wondered what they were so interested in.

When she saw it, she stopped breathing.

Darth Vader.

But when she saw what he was doing, she almost fainted.

The Sith Lord was engaged in a lightsaber battle with an old man. A very familiar old man.

Obi-Wan Kenobi. Her Master.

Ben looked straight at her. He smiled. And Darth Vader chopped him in half.

She screamed. The stormtroopers looked, saw them trying to board the Falcon, and raised their blasters. Seeing as how everything had gone blurry, Lila was unable to use her lightsaber. Anyway, she was in no mood to fight. She ran onto the ship. She barely felt it take off.

Obi-Wan was dead.

He had been like a father to her (and for quite a while pretended to be her father) . . . he had taught her everything about the Force . . . he had helped her build her lightsaber . . . .

He was dead.

How considerate. I give you all seven whole weeks, and what do I get? Two reviews!

Cowgirl4Christ: yeah, but owning a lightsaber does have its benefits . . .

WWMTgirl: they're going to be however I want them to be. What do you mean by that question, anyway?

Goodbye all, and I just wanted to tell you that while caffeine does help, I need reviews to cope with the W.B. (writer's block). As a random note: According to the laws of coffee, which I just made up, 'If one has an addiction and has not had coffee for seven weeks, one has the right to order a Venti when one next goes to Starbucks.'

Remember what I said about the reviews! A simple 'this is great,' while much appreciated, will not help me think of new ideas!
