《Star Wars EpisodeIVAU: Revival (Star Wars AU Series #2)》Escape from Cloud City

Luna's POV

"Get them!" Hecate's voice roared behind us as we ran for our lives. I turned around to see a horde of Stormtroopers headed our way, shooting every which way. Those guys can't even hit the side of a barn. That's how bad they are. Everybody knows.

As the Stormtroopers shot at us and missed miserably, I turned around and shot back at them.

"C'mon!" Han gripped my arm so tight I thought my veins were gonna burst.

"There you are!" Lando came running at us. "What's going on?"

"Listen, bub!" I hissed in Lando's stupid face. "Hecate, a crazy lady, is in the dining room! I think she's got Anakin in her clutches!"

"What makes you think she's got Anakin in her clutches?" Ben demanded. "For all we know, he could still be loitering around Batuu,"

"Some terrible guard you are, Lando!" I rolled my eyes. "How was it that you couldn't find out that Anakin snuck off to Batuu earlier today? Must be your shitty ass security system!"

"Hey, hey!" Lando roared with anger as Ben pressed some buttons on the wall. Suddenly, a door opened.

"Sorry, Lando, but I've got a message to deliver to Anakin ASAP. Can't stay and clean up your mess. That's peasant's work, if you ask me," Eden thrust her nose in the air.

"Shut up, bitch!" I screamed in Eden's face. Sure, we're in a hurry to get our shit done, but seriously, one should not rub it in people's faces!

"What's I'm trying to say is that Lando's mess should be the least of our concerns. Now, we've wasted more time than necessary. We gotta skedaddle. Bye," Eden smirked and waved goodbye at Lando, who shook his head in annoyance.

Just then, more Stormtroopers arrived at the scene and shot at us. Blaster fire zoomed by Chewbacca's arm. He turned around, growled, and fought back.

"Chewie, we've to find Anakin Skywalker. We can't waste time killing Stormtroopers," Han yanked Chewbacca's arm.

"Duck!" I threw myself on top of Eden's body as blaster fire flew past Eden's ponytail.

"Get off me, you commoner!" Eden shoved me away.

"I just saved your life!"

"I can handle myself. I am an independent woman," Eden shot back as she killed more Stormtroopers. Luke and Ben ignited their lightsabers and deflected the blaster fire. As red blaster fire zoomed my way, I leaned against the wall, dodging them all.

"C'mon," Han gestured for us to follow him as the door behind him unbolted. Suddenly, we found ourselves on the landing port. Eden then continued her shooting at the Stormtroopers. Seriously, we've no time for this!

"You've got a mission to fulfill, Princess. You can't dilly dally and kill Stormtroopers," I instructed as I grabbed Eden's arms.

"Don't touch me!" was all Eden hissed.

"To the Millenium Falcon, now!" Han shouted above all the ruckus. Luke turned around and shot at the enemies one last time as everybody got on board.

"Prepare for a rough ride," Han began steering the ship as something exploded in the back.

"What was that?" Ben raised his eyebrows.

"Dammit, I think those darned Stormtroopers damaged the fuel tank. Yo, Luna, can you take care of steering the ship while I go investigate?" Han got out of his seat.

"Will do," I moved to the driver's seat. What followed was an awkward silence as we exited Cloud City.

"Where do you think Anakin went?" Eden queried.

"Gragagaga?" Chewbacca shrugged.

"What are we gonna do once we find him?"

"I'd have a tearful reunion," Luke answered. Ben nodded.

"For me, I'd give him the data card," Eden said. "What about you, Luna?"

"I dunno," I shrugged as I remember the deal Harkos made with me. If I turn him in, at least I'd get Harkos off my back, but I'd feel guilty for it. Back when I was working for Jabba, I'd feel remorse for the horrible deeds I've done. On the other hand, if I don't turn him in, I'd be doing the morally just thing...at the cost of Harkos being after my head for who knows how long. I'm done with following orders, not questioning morals. It's time I do something good for once.

Author's Note: And we end Part IV here. It's clear Luna wants to do the right thing...but at what cost?
