The ship then seemed to come alive with sounds as she heard two people run for the gun turrets then a few moments later a distinctly female voice was heard over the intercom.
"Here they come."
A fighter zooms by, coming close to where Ari was, sending a volley of laser fire, making the ship rock as the lights flickered for a moment while Ari grabbed the wall to steady herself. Now the turrets in the Falcon were firing also, red shots filling the usually black space.
"They're coming in too fast!" Luke shouted.
A moment later another few shots hit the Falcon and Ari gave a startled yelp as she was tossed against the wall.
"We've lost lateral controls," the woman told them over the intercom. Han answered but Ari didn't catch it as another fighter screamed by.
It was almost hard for Ari to tell what was happening, unable to see the gunners, Han and Luke she assumed, or the fighters, the porthole giving only a few restricted views.
She could hear the engines of the fighters mixed with the sound of guns firing. Then an explosion followed by a second, just a moment later with a shout from Luke. "I got him!"
Ari gave a small jump from excitement, missing any other comments that might have been made. She then glanced out the window, knowing that there were still two left.
Shots were exchanged in rapid succession between the fighters and freighter followed shortly by two more explosions and shouts of triumphs from everyone on board, including Ari.
She heard Han and Luke talking excitedly as they moved out of the turrets, towards the cockpit. Ari followed, a bit behind listening to them.
"I just blew him out of the sky like that. He never even saw it coming!" Luke laughed.
"You did good, Kid," Han replied, a hint of smile evident in his voice. Ari smiled also, knowing Luke probably did great.
She then heard a bark and growl, before pulling herself back slightly.
"The aft section huh?" Han asked. "Yeah that would be a good thing to check. Thanks Chewie." The Wookie gave a purring sound before walking by, just passing Ari who had hidden behind a crate, wanting to have Luke see her first so she wouldn't get shot.
She stayed there for a few minutes, the cold on the ship started to reach her and she shivered slightly.
Deciding to find her cloak to warm up in on her way to the cockpit she made a short detour down the hall, glancing around before she found it where she had dropped it before.
She brushed it out, thoughts elsewhere, missing the light click of boots on the floor coming towards her. Ari then attached the cloak around her neck, using one arm to wrap it around herself and it twirled slightly as she looked up.
The young woman in front of her had to be her age, with dark brown hair pinned up in rolls at the sides and brown eyes that were now wide, her white dress standing out as her skin paled noticeably against it. At that same moment she let out a short yet still blood curdling scream.
AN: Ahh she was found…Read and review to see what happens next J
