Leia's POV

C3PO and R2D2 pushed us inside a secret room just as Stormtroopers were passing by.

"Tell us what happened," I ordered.

"As you wish, Mistress Leia," C3PO bowed his head. "The ship was experiencing a malfunction and it was all shaky. Rebel fighters had gotten on the ship accompanied by Princess Eden of Alderaan and started fighting the Stormtroopers. They obviously lost and Eden was captured,"

"Eden was captured by the Empire?!" I gasped. Is she even here? I hope not.

"Eden was sent on a diplomatic mission to retrieve a data card regarding Master Ani. She got the data card and we do not know where she is,"

"Well, then let's go look," Mia ordered. She stuck her head outside the secret room. "We're clear,"

Mia led us three out and began to explore the ship, disappearing from sight whenever Stormtroopers came around. We then made our way to the prison quarters.

"You stay right here," Mia ordered. "Leia and I are gonna look for Eden,"

"If you insist," C3PO said, annoyed. Mia and I made our way to the prison quarters, where we began to search for Eden. However, all we saw were unconscious prisoners with their limbs sprawled everywhere.

"Are you looking for Eden?" a raspy voice hissed. A man with a dirty beard clenched his fists on the jail bars.

"Yes, do you know where she is?" Mia answered.

"I heard she escaped in an escape pod,"

"What? How?"

"You ask the girl herself. She's pretty clever. Have you come to liberate us all?" the man whispered. I began to sweat where I stood. Our mission was to check out what the Empire was up to, not to save anybody. But after hearing about Eden, I wanted---no, I needed to ask her about my father's whereabouts. She may have the key to getting him to come back home. Of course, our home was a pile of ashes and embers. What I meant was get him back to Mom and the Rebel Alliance.

"Leia, Mia, what a surprise to see you here," someone said. We turned around, only to see a bunch of Rebel fighters with their guns prepared to shoot.

"What are you doing here?" I demanded.

"We were sent by Mon Mothma to free these prisoners," a Rebel fighter answered.

"Stop right there, Rebel scum," an Imperial officer ordered.
