A/N Hi! Thank you for reading my story! I would like to remind people that I love constructive criticism, as I am always striving to improve my writing. I have gotten many ideas lately, including the real reason that my oc's are trapped in this universe anyway (that story is told in my new revised/rewritten prologue) thank you to the people who took the time to review. And also thank you to my editors and unofficial BETA Matt and Oliver.

Katie, Kevin, Han, Leia, and the robots were in Luke's room after the med-bay released him. He looked like a mess, but Han was trying his best to cheer his friend up.

"C'mon kid! It's not that bad!" he said as he clapped a hand on Luke's shoulder. "Why, you even look strong enough to pull the wings off a Gundark!" he exclaimed.

"Why would you want to pull the wings off something?" asked Katie as she turned to stare at Han. "Isn't that slightly immature?" she voiced.

Leia smirked "I think that's why he suggested that."

Han turned to Leia and wagged a finger in her face his tone totally changed. Serious, almost business like he said, "Well, your worship, it looks like you got me to stick around a little longer"

She of course had a come back of her own "I had nothing to do with it, the general thinks that it is not safe for any ship to go in or out until we have the shields back up."

"Safety first" Kevin interjected. Everybody turned to stare at him and then looked back to Leia and Han. The arguing had continued Han had a comeback.

"Yeah, a likely story, but I think you just couldn't let a gorgeous guy like me out of your sites" he explained, leaning back against the wall. An ignorant smirk appeared on his face. Katie rolled her eyes from the corner and Kevin shook his head.

Leia shook her head "I don't know where you get your delusions laser brains…" that about sent chewy over the edge with laughter, Katie and Kevin tried with all their might to keep a straight face. Luckily, they got away with it, the wookie, not luckily.

Han turned around, "laugh it fuzball, 'cause you didn't see us alone in the south passage, she professed her true feelings for me!" a smug grin erupted as he crossed the room to her wrapped his arm around her.

Immediately she shrugged it off "Why you scruffy looking, half witted, NERF HERDER!" she exclaimed as angry as could be.

He whipped around "who's scruffy looking?" he asked. Then he turned to Luke " I must hit pretty close to the truth to get her all riled up like that eh kid?" he asked. Katie laughed.

Leia crossed the Luke to where Han and Luke were "well I guess you don't know everything about woman than" she said and she kissed Luke passionately. Shock covered the faces of everyone else in the room. Luke was as smug as can be.

An announcement came from the PA system and then everyone except for Luke left.

Everyone except for Kevin headed for the command center; he went back to his room. He did not exactly have the clearance to be in the command center. Katie did, as she had become an official part of the rebel alliance when she volunteered on her seventeenth birthday and became what a legal adult. In this part of the galaxy, seventeen is the most accepted age of legal adult hood. They crowded around a console where an intelligence officer had found something.

"We have a breach in security, its metal." He explained.

Leia looked to Han "so it cant be one of those creatures," she concluded.

Han looked to the officer "could be a speeder. One of ours?" he concluded than asked.

The officer shook his head," no I don't think- hey wait there is something weak coming through!" he explained. Taking of the headphones he was wearing he turned up the volume, a rhythmic pattern of noises came through.

3po who happened to listen in gave his view on the mystery "sir, I am fluent in over six million forms of communication; this is not used by the alliance. It could very well be imperial."

Katie who had been very quiet until then spoke up "makes sense, it sounds pretty cold and mechanical, very imperial."

Han agreed "definitely not friendly again, c'mon Chewie, lets check it out." He said, already on his way out.

Katie followed Leia to another station and stood behind her while Leia sat down. She observed her for about a half an hour before Han contacted them.

"'Fraid there's not much left," he said over his comm.

"What was it?" Leia asked him.

"A droid of some sort, I didn't hit it that hard! Must have had a self destruct," he said.

"An imperial Probe Droid," Leia realized aloud.

"It's a good bet the Empire knows were here," Han explained.

The general, who had walked over them, stood on the other side of Leia. She looked from the computer screen to him.

He sighed and looked at her "better start the evacuation" he commanded, she nodded and got up to prepare.

An Alarm wailed, causing Kevin to jump. He had been in his quarters working with a borrowed data pad. Borrowed was the key word, he had not really borrowed it; he stole it, from Katie. He had nicked it when she was not looking during there memory loss talk. He of course, had all intention of returning it eventually, but right now, he was trying to use it to learn how to read and write the language. Basic, is the name, and it is spoken like English. It just did not read like English, at all. He had been so into his work that the alarm had startled him.

"This is an evacuation; please move to hanger when your transport number is called. This is not a drill," blared from the speaker system along with the alarm. He winced; the high noise level practically killed his ears.

He got up off the ground where he had been sitting and looked around the room. His eyes fell on a small backpack. He grabbed it and ran out into the hall not bothering to shut the door behind him. He kept running towards the hanger occasionally looking back, and he ran right into Katie.

They both landed on the ground with an audible thud. Katie had been running to meet him and he had been running to the hanger to find her. After all, in tough times, friends have to stick together.

"Ouch!" Katie exclaimed. Kevin stood up first and offered her a hand; she gratefully took it and hoisted herself up. "I see they gave you an emergency pack." She pointed out.

"Yeah, I might actually need it now too" he said as he pointed to the backpack.

"So true!" she exclaimed. "We need to hurry, if we miss our shuttle we are kind of doomed," she pointed out. So with that they headed to the hangers.

As they flat out ran down the near deserted hallways, signs of an ongoing battle raging ahead emerged. Pieces of ice fell from the ceiling, and ice dust was everywhere in the carved tunnels. They were almost there when a ceiling caved in blocking their path completely.

"Shit!" exclaimed Katie as she backed away from the falling debris. "I guess we're not going that way!" she added, and turned around to run back down the hall. Kevin followed.

"I think I remember seeing another hall that leads that way," he told Katie. Without looking back, she nodded.

"Show me the way!" she said and let him take the lead. They ran and ran until they came to a new tunnel, but this one was not deserted.

Siranna followed her master down the long ice carved hallways of the rebel hidey-hole. They had landed and broken their way through the defenses easily enough, now they were simply storming through the pathetic excuse for a base looking for stragglers. If luck were with Siranna, anyone left would be of importance, perhaps the straggler stayed behind to "protect" his or her stupid information.

Of course, there was no one Sirrana wanted to meet in these horrid tunnels more that Katie. She was even willing to brave the frigid tunnels for that. Maybe frigid was to kind a word, they were glacial! She was wearing cold weather gear and still freezing! She could not imagine why anyone, not even the rebels would want to make such and awful place their center of operations.

As they turned a corner, Sirrana saw two others in the hall, Katie, and Kevin. A smirk crept onto her pale face. Finally, she had them cornered! She pulled out her light saber and activated it all in one fluid motion. Then she raced down the gap of the hall at full speed trying to catch her. Laughing manically, she watched as Katie motioned for Kevin to run a head of her. That's right save your friend, because I certainly wont let you live! Sirrana thought as she continued after them.

They turned a corner, into a new hall, but Sirrana almost had them. She was a lightsaber blade away, and nicked Katie in the arm. The teen howled in pain and ran in fear away from that sith trainee. She sprinted, her fear driving her. Suddenly, the deafening bomb of a cannon blast shook the base, and the hall caved in. this separated Sirrana and Katie.

Sirrana shouted in range and ran towards the pile of ice. She scooped her hands and tried to dig a way through the ice. It was to thick, and she was not able to make it through the massive wall. The last thing a student of darkness would want to do is give up. This situation called for Siranna to do just that. Therefore, she sighed and turned around. She began to jog down the hall; while she came up with ideas to explain to the dark lord, she had failed, again.

Swswswswswswswswswswswswswswswswswswswswswswswswswswswswswswsws

The wall of ice crashed in between Katie, Kevin, and Siranna. At the sound, Katie and Kevin stopped, and then turned around. At the site of the thick ice wall, they both sighed in relief. After a moments pause, they started to run again. After all, they still had a shuttle to catch, and now they were way off track!

They came to a place where two tunnels intersected, and heard footsteps coming from the other tunnel. Just to be safe, Katie and Kevin hid quietly in their current hall. They did not want to meet up with imperials again! Katie was seriously scared, so Kevin looked out side.

"It's ok!" he told Katie back inside. "It's Leia, Han, and the droids!" he explained. She gave him a look of disbelief.

"Seriously? The droids and Leia should be on a shuttle by now!" she explained to Kevin. He nodded.

"That's what I figured. You don't think she missed the shuttle?" he asked.

"Maybe, if she did, we definitely did," she concluded.

"You're right! Lets catch a ride on the Falcon with them," he said, he didn't want to be stuck here, so he was prepared to get any ride he could find.

"I agree, lets go meet up with them." Katie said. Therefore, they inched out of the tunnel and jogged to them.

"Hey wait for us!" Katie yelled.

"Then you better hurry up!" Han yelled back. "Time is running out!" As if to illustrate his point, another loud boom shook the base causing them all to stumble. Leia fell into Han's arms and quickly pulled her self out.

They ran into another small tunnel, and then out into the hanger were the Falcon currently docked.

No longer were they alone either, Darth Vader's personal storming party was emerging and setting up cannons, followed by Vader and a seething Siranna. A volley of laser fire pummeled the docked Falcon. The gangplank was lowering and Han, Leia, the droids, Katie and Kevin were running to it at full speed. They covered their faces and bolted.

Once everyone was inside, Han raised the gangplank and tried to take off.

The ship came to life, and then it sputtered and died. Everyone instantly became frustrated. Leia was the first to voice he opinion.

"Would it help if I got out and pushed?" she asked, sarcasm dripped from every word.

"No! Nobody needs to push!" Han alleged, as he got up out of the captain's seat and started to flip switches and bang on switchboards all over the cockpit. "Chewie! I thought you fixed this," he complained. He continued to bang, flip and toggle. Finally, all lights came on and they were ready for take off. Moreover, not a moment to soon, the empire was launching a full out attack on them now.

Han piloted the ship out of the hanger and into space. All every one wanted to do was rest after all of the running, but as soon as they got into orbit, they realized that their troubles were far from over, and the long rest would have to wait…
