As fast as it could, the Falcon pilots tried to put as much distance as they could to get away from the Death Star. Blake's mood at the moment was at an all-time low. She isolated herself away from the others, taking the blame as another sacrifice for her. Luke also was mourning for the loss of Obi-Wan as the Princess smiles comfortingly at them along with the droids.
"I can't believe he's gone," Luke says sadly, breaking the silence.
Artoo-Detoo beeps a reply then to comfort him.
"There wasn't anything you could have done," Leia says.
"She's right," Blake speaks up sadly. "If I did not Run into that Monster, Kanobi would not have stepped in to save me... it's my fault he died. It's my fault he's not here now!" Blake declared, nearly shouting as she began to cry and put her hands on her face. First, because of her, Adam went over the edge and hurt Yang by slicing her arm off, and now Kanobi died because he stayed to save her. She was nothing but trouble. That's all she ever has been. "It's always my fault." She cried.
The others were about to try to comfort her, but someone running in was heard. Han rushes into the holding area where they all are and sees Luke. "Come on, buddy, we're not out of this yet!"
Luke gets up then he had to help Ham right now. Solo climbs into the gunner chair in the dorsal gunport while Luke goes toward the ventral gunports as Leia heads for the cockpit. Blake just stays in the hold as the firefight in space begins.
As the fighting goes on, Blake's thoughts were on rewin of all that had happened since she came into this world. Not even the ship shaking from laser fire snapped her out of it. First, she became part of a smuggler crew joy riding in space. Meets desert farmer Luke and battle monk Obi-Wan. Then got trapped in the Imperial's massive space station, and because of her getting lost and running into that Dark Lord, Obi-Wan was killed...it was all her fault.
It's always all her fault. She's nothing but trouble, a walking disaster to everyone. Blake, at times, wonders dose she has a second semblance which is bad luck.
Then suddenly, something did snap her out of her train of thought as a hand went on her shoulder. She assumed it was one of the people on the ship.
"Please...just leave me alone," Blake says, trying her best not to cry.
"Don't cry, young one. You are not to blame." The voice made Blake have wide eyes. That was Ben's voice.
The Faunes turns sharply to look then as she to see Ben, but when she did, she saw no one was there. She was confused. Was she just imagining hearing old Jedi's voice? While also feeling someone touching her shoulder but she gets up then.
Up in the top gunner's chair, Han was busy killing the last Tie fighter. He removes his gloves and smiles before exiting the gun mount. He soon finds himself back on his ship's bridge takes his place at the controls. Chewie moves into the aft section to check the damage as Blake meets up with the others in the cockpit and keeps that she heard Ben to herself she's sure no one would believe her anyway.
Leia is seated near Han as the smuggler spoke. "Not a bad bit of rescuing, huh? You know, sometimes I even amaze myself." Solo says confidently.
"That doesn't sound too hard. Besides, they let us go. It's the only explanation for the ease of our escape." Leia says.
Both Han and Blake look at her with expressions of disbelief. They had run-ins with platoons of stormtroopers and had a run-in with that Vader guy who nearly killed her and killed Ben. Blake thought that what they went through was easy!?
Han was more verbal about his response. "Easy… you call that easy?"
"They're tracking us," Leia said simply.
"Not this ship, sister," Solo responds to her.
Frustrated, Leia shakes her head. "At least the information in Artoo is still intact."
"What's so important? What's he carrying?" Solo asks, wondering what's inside the droid. Blake wondered this too.
"The technical readouts of that battle station. I only hope that when the data is analyzed, a weakness can be found. It's not over yet." Leia says.
Blake wondered about this weakness. What can they do to destroy a station the size of a moon?! Where these people that desperate? Or crazy?
But Solo spoke he wanted no part in this. "It is for me, sister! Look, I ain't in this for your revolution, and I'm not in it for you, Princess. I expect to be well paid. I'm in it for the money!" Solo says he only wants to get money from this mission, Pay off Jabba and try not to get wanted by any giant slug again.
Now Leia was disgusted and angry. "You needn't worry about your reward. If money is all that you love, then that's what you'll receive." She angrily turns, and as she starts out of the cockpit, passes Luke coming in.
"Your friend is quite a mercenary. I wonder if he really cares about anything… or anyone." She was about to leave, but Then Blake spoke.
"He cares about people. He cares for those he considers his friends." Blake says she may be as disgusted at the money thing, but Solo is her friend, so she does her best to defend him. Leia said nothing as she goes.
Luke then sits in the copilot seat. Han stares out at the vast blackness of space before looking at Blake with a thankful look.
"Thanks, Blake," Solo says.
"No problem," Blake says with a smile.
Then Luke and Solo spoke to each other. "So… what do you think of her, Han?" Luke asks Han's opinion on the Princess.
"I'm trying not to, kid!" Solo said, annoyed. Checking the most recently updated galactic maps to make sure their destination was still there in the first place.
"Good," Luke said before looking down with a bit of a grin.
"Still, she's got a lot of spirits. I don't know, what do you think? Do you think a princess and a guy like me…"
"No," Luke said immediately.
Han looked back at the kid with a raised eyebrow. 'Alright, kid. Challenge accepted.' he thought.
"Well," Blake says. "If you want to know of my opinion of her, I say she reminds me of a friend Weiss. I'm sure the Princess and my friend would get along nicely." Blake says as she walks out.
"Well...that good to know," Luke says.
Han then decided to ask Luke something.
"So, Luke." Han began. "How do you view Blake?" He asks with a mischief smile.
That got Luke off guard, but he thinks on this. "Well...she's a very skilled fighter, mysterious, and also a good person in my opinion that really cares about others and tries her best," Luke replied. He had more to say, but not sure if he meant them if he told them.
Solo smirks...he had a feeling that Luke had more to say about Blake but decided not to push it...but he will ask Blake later on her opinion on Luke.
At the Death Star, Vader was walking. He knows his plan to find the rebel base will work and once that's done. The rebellions base will be destroyed. All their leaders will be dead, which would be the end of the pitiful Rebellion.
Note: Well heres the next Chapter...and the death Star is coming to the rabel base...
