Chapter 74

It didn't look very good for Padme and Queen Mairayn for quite some time, as the better armed attackers started to gain more ground by the minute. No matter how bad their situation might was at the moment, Padme was still determined that she and the Queen would get off this ship in one piece: I need to find a way to fight through this, not only for my children but also to make sure that this New Republic survives at the end. She had to react very quick as two Space Pirates go too close to their current position, taking them out in quick succesion and she could see very well that Queen Mairayn had been a little bit worried for one moment.

On the bridge of the New Republic Military Flagship a Crewman handed Chancellor Mon Mothma a pad with the newest battle report. After taking some time to read through the latest developments on the battle field, the Chancellor finally said: „Of course losing some soldiers on the battlefield is always hard to take but at the end of the day we can say with pride that they did indeed die for a good cause." Leia Organa had been standing next to her the entire time and was glad to see that after all the sacrifices that they had to make today, the battle in space was almost won and she just wanted to reunited with her mother again. Deep down she knew that her brother was sensing through the force what was going on, even if she didn't really understand that mystery power source that he relied on so much but maybe at some time he would explain it to her how the Force worked. After the Crewman had left Mon Mothma's office which was just seperated from the bridge by one sliding door, she joined Leia who stood at the big window and she could easily tell that the young woman was completely lost in her thoughts.

For Leia Mon Mothma had been such an important person over the years, as she had become some kind of mentor for her since she had started working in the Imperial Senate. With great interest she had listened to all the stories, which Mon Mothma had to tell about her mother and hearing about all the brave things that she had done in the past during the days of the old Republic, it made her even more sad to never be able to spent some time with her brave mother.

„I know what you're thinking right now, even if you know that your mother is perfectly able to take care of herself, you desperately want to be out there right now and try your best to save her on your own." As Leia looked at Mon Mothma, she kind of hated the fact that she had gotten to know she other so well over the years that she was like an open book to the woman, which stood right next to her at this moment.

„Yes, I know that my mother wouldn't want me to get captured too by those space pirates but on the other hand it is just so difficult for me to keep sitting at the sidelines." Leia replied after thinking about what to say for a moment. Of course it was no surprise for her that Leia felt that way and she was kind of worried a little bit about her good friend too but she also kept telling herself that she needed to have faith in the fact that the former Queen and Senator would find some way to get out of this no way out situation once again.

With some heavy armed soldiers in pursuit, Padme and Queen Mairayn were meanwhile right in the middle of running down a corridor inside of the Space Pirate's flagship which kind of seemed to be endless and it was pretty obvious that the Queen was struggling a lot to keep up to Padme because of her outfit. It was a good thing that it never had been a problem for her to multi task, no matter how criticial the situation was and so she had no problem in making sure that both of them got out of here alive while she kept their remaining enemies at a save distance.

I still remember it like it was yesterday, what it was like when I wore those long uncomfortable outfits and I was so glad when I was able to switch outfits with one of my handmaidens from time to time. Of course Padme did also have a lot of happy memories from her time as the Queen of Naboo, as she was proud of her accomplishments that she had made over the years.

Padme and Queen Mairayn almost lost their balance when a big explosion shocked the Space Pirates flagship, but were able to keep themselves standing upright by grabbing the wall for support at the last moment. Meanwhile on the bridge a crewman announced to Admiral Ackbar, who stood at the Center of the Command Center of the New Republic Military Flagship:

„The last Deflector Shield Generator of the Enemies Flagship just collapsed Admiral. Should we hail them again?" The Admiral didn't need much time to think about this question, as it was pretty clear that they were having an huge advantage right now and were having the enemy exactly were they wanted them:

„Hail them and let's see if they are now in a more cooperative mood."

As the flagship of Space Pirates was rocked by a huge explosion, that had resulted in the collapse of the last deflector shield generator, both Padme and the Queen of Naboo had to fight hard to keep their balance.

AN: With the flagship of the Space Pirates being heavily damaged, are Padme and the Queen going to have no more problem to leave it or will some unexpected surprise complicate matters for them one last time?
