Darn you, writer's block! Leave me alone! Sorry this took so long, guys!
Haven
Nicky and Luke burst into the room. Everyone else was already there, we were just going to wait there for the storm-troopers as there wasn't really anything we could do.
"You guys heard that too, right?" Luke asked. Everyone nodded.
"So are we just going to wait here to be captured?" Nicky asked.
"Pretty much." Han answered as he gloomily pressed a button and his chess piece moved forward, flipping Chewie's monster upside down. How they managed to remain calm enough to play chess when we about to be arrested, I had no real clue. Luke was apparently thinking the same thing.
"How can you play that now of all times?" He asked, slight outrage in his voice.
Han simply shrugged, not even bothering to look in Luke's direction. Luke shook his head and came over to sit between me and Ben.
I checked Kari's IV again, I still wasn't quite sure it was in right. She still looked like she was extremely tried and like she might pass out at any minute. So I dug through one of the drawers looking for something useful. I came across a little packet labeled 'Bacta-patch'. Bacta, wasn't that like the miracle medicine thing of the Star Wars galaxy?
I read the instructions. It sounded like a miracle medicine and I figured it wouldn't hurt, since it was in a medical station after all.
So I followed the instructions and stuck the patch on the back of her neck.
The ship suddenly shook.
"What was that?" Han asked, suddenly very interested in what was going on.
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe we're being boarded." Kari said weakly.
"No, I've been boarded. The ship doesn't shake like that when someone boards you."
"What could it be then?" Luke asked, standing up and hurrying over to the small window.
Ben smiled. "They came back for us." Everyone turned to look at him. "See for yourself if you don't believe me." He said, gesturing towards the window Luke was standing in front of. Almost everyone in the room hurried over.
I looked out the window and, sure enough, there was a large ship with a Rebellion sign on the side shooting at the Imperial ship. And it was winning, as the tractor beam we were in began to flicker. The Falcon continued to shake.
"Whoo! We're gonna live!" Nicky shouted, going a bit Olivia for a second.
"Won't get your hopes up, Nicky. It's just one ship against all those Imperials." Han said, patting Nicky's shoulder as he past.
"Gosh Han, I'm glad you have such high faith in them." She snapped at him, her voice (of course) filled with sarcasm.
I looked out the window. The Rebel ship was actually doing pretty well. In fact the ship shook one last time and the tractor beam disappeared.
"The tractor beam's gone, we can go!" Luke shouted. Han immediately jumped up and returned to the window.
"Well Han, what are you waiting for? Go!" Nicky shouted before shoving him away from the window. He took 5 seconds to glare at her, then ran up to the cockpit with Chewie in tow.
They say curiosity killed the cat, but I followed anyway. Along with Ben and a limping Kari.
"Millennium Falcon, come in." A new voice demanded over the radio. Han gaped at it.
"Well?" I said, shoving him forward. He quickly came to his senses and picked up the com.
"This is Han Solo of the Millennium Falcon. Who, may I ask, is this?" Is it just me or have his manners increased in the last few seconds?
"This is Admiral Farris Nik of the Riordan. Do you have a Luke Skywalker aboard?" Farris asked.
"Yes, we do."
"We would like to speak with him."
"Right away." Seriously, where did the manners come from? "Luke, get up here!" Han shouted down the hall. Luke soon joined us in the cockpit. "They want to talk to you."
"Me?"
"No, I was talking to old Ben, I just called you up here for no reason! Yes you, you moron!" There, Han was back now.
Luke took the com from Han and hesitated before speaking into it. "This is Luke Skywalker." He said with little confidence.
"This is Admiral Farris Nik, do you still have the information given to you by Princess Leia Organa?"
"Yes sir, I do." Luke confirmed. He nervously looked at me and I gave him a reassuring smile. It was my duty as his last living family member. He smiled back at me.
"Well, Mr. Skywalker you'll be happy to know that we're here to rescue you and take you to the Rebellion Headquarters." He smiled and looked up at the rest of us.
"What about us?" Han whispered, sounding a bit desperate.
"Oh, what about my friends?"
"They will be coming as well." Then everyone rejoiced.
"What?" Nicky demanded as she burst into the cockpit, the last one of us to show-up. "What did I miss?"
"The Rebellion's rescuing us!"
WE'VE HIT 100 AND GONE OVER! I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!
Sorry about the short chapter, it would have been longer but I wanted to get this up as soon as I could. And those of you who guessed that the voice was George Lucas, then you're right! I figured I should tell you that now, otherwise you'll find out at the very end once you've forgotten about it. Don't forget to review and I'll see you guys sooner this time! I promise!
