We kept firing at the Jedi ships. Unfortunately, it didn't take long before they realized we were deliberately trying to miss them. That became quite apparent when some of these ships came flying towards us, and despite our shooting them, they wouldn't go away.
"Master Maen! They're not falling for it!" C3PO shouted.
"You think?!" she replied.
Not knowing what else to do, I looked around, hoping to find some solution to our problem. But as I looked, I saw how the Jedi-ships reached the BHS. I saw one explosion after another. Nothing could stop them from doing what had to be done. And suddenly, the BHS disappeared, only to be replaced by a huge ball of light. It took me close to a minute to accept what I tried to deny, but it was true. The BHS was destroyed. And with it, our only chance to save the universe, and the one man who could give that to us: the Doctor.
"Master Maen." C3PO started, "They are asking you to come along with them."
I looked at Maen, who immediately got out of her seat and ran to the cockpit. I didn't know what she was up to, so I followed.
"3PO, prepare to get away." she commanded him.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Getting outta here!" she replied, "What do you think?"
"The Doc's idea failed." I reasoned with her, "It won't matter where we are now."
"Do you just wanna give up?" she asked me, "Or do you wanna die knowing you survived a whole army of Jedi's?"
I almost said the latter of the two, but that would mean we'd travel at a speed that may cause our ship to tear itself apart.
"Well?" she insisted on me answering.
"Everyone, do you feel that?" a voice on the radio asked.
"Feel what?" somebody else questioned.
"Use the Force and feel for... anything." the voice elaborated.
After a moment of silence, somebody replied: "I don't... sense... anything?"
"Neither do I." replied several other voices.
Maen, for once, smiled: "He did it. The Doctor did it!"
"Yeah..." I sighed. It was one thing that he saved the universe, but quite another that he was gone.
"He did it?" one of the voices overheard us, "What does that mean?"
Maen switched off the radio: "Never liked this guy anyway."
"Master Maen..." C3PO began.
"Just get ready to leave." she commanded.
I sat down as fast as I could. The ship powered itself up, the stars seemed to be brightening into a blue light, and suddenly we were off. As we blasted off however, I heard an actual blast. I turned to look behind me.
"No, they didn't!" Maen sounded worried, and got out of her seat, and I followed.
Somewhere in the back of her ship, a fire had started. Maen took a closer look, but then stepped back.
"Get back to the cockpit!" she shouted at me.
"Why? Shouldn't we put out the fire?" I asked.
"It won't matter!" she replied and pushed me forward.
Once we made it back to the cockpit, she shut the ship down.
"What happened?" I asked.
"They shot us as we made our leave." Maen explained, "If we kept going, the ship would have torn apart."
"Oh." I said, "So what do we do now?"
"Nothing." Maen said, "There's no planet nearby, no ship in the immediate vicinity, and I can't land to fix the ship."
I could feel my heart pounding: "What are you saying? We're gonna die here?"
"Exactly." Maen replied.
I never faint, but my body did feel numb enough for me to fall back on my seat.
"Look at the positive side." Maen tried to make me feel better, "At least you saved the universe."
For some reason, that didn't make me feel any better.
