《Against All Odds | Han Solo [1]》[04]

Emilia and the rest of the group made their way to what she assumed was a control room. The door opened revealing Chewbacca. He let out a shout and Han blasted the Stormtrooper.
"You know, between his howling and your blasting everything in sight, it's a wonder the whole station doesn't know we're here." Luke spoke after he took off his helmet, Emilia following suit.
"Bring them on! I prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around." Han replied.
"Oh shut up." Emilia snapped, now beside him. He turned to face her, practically towering above the short girl.
"Make me, Princess." He smirked down at her and she glared up at him.
"We found the computer outlet, sir." C3PO told Obi-Wan.
"Plug in. He should be able to interpret the entire Imperial computer network." He instructed. R2 started beeping.
"He says he's found the main computer to power the tractor beam that's holding the ship here. He'll try to make the precise location appear on the monitor." C3PO explained as Emilia analysed the map shown on the monitor. "The tractor beam is coupled to the main reactor in seven locations. A power loss at one of the terminals will allow the ship to leave." Obi-Wan also analysed the map before speaking.
"I don't think you boys can help and neither can you Emilia. I must go alone." Obi-Wan told them.
"Whatever you say. I've done more that I bargained for on this trip already." Han shrugged and earned a glare from Emilia.
"Obi-Wan my mission was to get you back to the rebel base!" Emilia exclaimed, reluctant to let the old Jedi go.
"Emilia you are much more valuable to the rebellion than I, don't worry." He touched her shoulder to comfort her. He went to leave again.
"I want to go with you." Luke said.
"Be patient, Luke. Stay and watch over the droids." Obi-Wan commanded.
"But he can-" Luke started.
"They must be delivered safely or other star systems will suffer the same fate as Alderaan. Your destiny lies along a different path than mine. The Force will be with you... always." Then Obi-Wan left. Luke shut the door behind him before Chewie started speak.
"Boy you said it, Chewie." Han replied and Emilia shook her head at the pair. "Where did you dig up that old fossil?" He asked.

"Ben is a great man." Luke retorted.
"Yeah, great at getting us into trouble." Han snapped back.
"I didn't hear you give any ideas." Emilia replied, glaring once again at the smuggler.
"Well, anything would be better than just hanging around waiting for him to pick us up." He addressed the annoyed girl
"Who do you think-" Emilia started but was cut off by R2 beeping.
"What is it?" Luke questioned the droid.
"I'm afraid I'm not quite sure, sir. He says 'I found her', and keeps repeating, 'She's here.'" 3PO informed. Emilia turned her attention from Han to the droids.
"Well, who- who has he found?" Luke asked, moving towards the droids.
"Princess Leia." 3PO told them.
"The princess? She's here?" Luke asked, his voice louder.
"Princess? What's going on?" Han glanced between everyone, confused.
"Shut up." Emilia snapped before turning to C3PO. "Leia is here? Are you sure?"
"Level five. Detention block A A-twenty-three." 3PO paused as R2 said something else. "I'm afraid she's scheduled to be terminated." 3PO told the princess's best friend.
"What?" She shrieked.
"Oh, no! We've got to do something." Luke exclaimed, glancing towards Emilia who nodded.
"What are you talking about?" Han asked the pair.
"The droid belongs to her. She's the one in the message. We've got to help her." Luke explained, his voice loud.
"Now, look, don't get any funny ideas. The old man wants us to wait right here." Han told them and Emilia huffed, glaring again at the man.
"But he didn't know she was here." Emilia told him, her voice loud.
"Look, will you just find a way back into the detention block?" Luke asked the droids.
"I'm not going anywhere." Han told them, slumping back into a chair. Emilia spun his chair around.
"Why are you so annoying? I've never met someone who's managed to make me want to strangle them so much in such a short time." Emilia poked his chest as she practically yelled at him. "They're going to execute her!" She exclaimed.
"Look, a few minutes ago you said you didn't want to just wait here to be captured. Now all you want to do is stay." Luke joined in, trying to prevent yet another argument between the two.
"Marching into the detention area is not what I had in mind." Han said to the woman in front of him who would have murdered him about five times if looks could kill.

"But they're going to kill her!" Luke exclaimed from next to the two having a staring contest, both glaring at one another.
"Better her than me." Han said. Emilia moved away still annoyed.
"She's rich." Emilia started. She knew how to get him to help. She was met with Chewbacca trying to stop Han listening.
"Rich?" Han turned towards her, interested.
"Yes. Rich, powerful! Listen, if you were to rescue her, the reward would be..." Emilia trailed off trying to think of what to say.
"What?" Han asked, obviously interested in the conversation. Emilia smirked slightly knowing she had him wrapped around her finger.
"More wealth than you can imagine." Emilia told him, leaning closer to him.
"I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit." He told her.
"Well you'll get it." She stood up straight and stepped away slightly.
"I better." He pointed at her.
"You will, Solo." She replied.
"All right, Princess. But you'd better be right about this." He held his hands up in surrender.
"All right." Emilia muttered.
"What's your plan?" Han asked and she started to glance around the room. She hesitated until Luke nudged her and pointed to the binders.
"3PO, hand me those binders there please?" Emilia then proceeded to address the Wookiee. "May I?" She asked, gesturing towards the binders and then the Chewbacca. He let out a yell and nodded. "Thanks." She gently place the binders on the Wookiee's wrist, stroking his fur afterwards. Han watched in shock as the Wookiee didn't threaten her or growl at her, he couldn't help but admire her slightly.
"Ma'am! Pardon me for asking, but, what should R2 and I do if we're discovered here?" 3PO asked.
"Lock the door." Emilia replied, walking out of the door.
"And hope they don't have blasters." Han added, making Emilia slap the chest plate he had on.
"That isn't very reassuring." She heard the droid say. They made their was down a cooridoor, holding onto the Wookiee. The got onto a lift as Luke spoke.
"I can't see a thing in this helmet." Emilia silently made her way onto the lift as they made their way to where her best friend was.
"This is not going to work." Han said.
"Why didn't you say so before?" Luke questioned.
"I did say so before!" Han retorted.
"Oh shut up the both of you." Emilia snapped.
"Where are you taking this... thing?" One of the Officers asked, disgusted. Emilia wanted to blast him right there and then. Chewie growled but was nudged by both Han and Emilia to make him be quiet.
"Prisoner transfer from Block one-one-three-eight." Luke spoke. Emilia kept quiet as she wasn't sure whether her feminine voice would blow their cover.
"I wasn't notified. I'll have to clear it." The Officer replied, going to one of the consoles.
"Look out! He's loose!" Han yelled as Chewie threw one of the officers.
"He's going to pull us all apart." Luke yelled as Han handed the Wookiee a blaster.
"Go get him!" Han yelled as Emilia shot several of the officers. He made his way to one of the consoles once the fighting had stopped.
"We've got to find out which cell this princess of yours is in. Here it is... cell twenty-one-eight-seven." He told them. "You go get her. I'll hold them here." Both Luke and Emilia rushed off towards the cell. "Emilia! Luke! We're going to have company!" They heard him yell down the corridor, making them both run faster. Both reached her cell, Luke stood in front of Emilia, dumbfounded.
"Aren't you a little short to be a stormtrooper?" Leia asked as Emilia grew impatient, she shoved Luke so she could get through.
"Way too short." She spoke after taking off her helmet. "Also too smart."
"Emilia!" Leia exclaimed, jumping up to greet her friend. "I was sure you had died or something terrible." She hugged her tightly, sighing in relief.
"Please, I can't be killed by the Empire." She chuckled. "Oh right this is-"
"I'm Luke Skywalker. I'm here to rescue you." Luke cut in, quickly.
"We're here to rescue you." Emilia corrected.
"You're who?" Leia asked the boy.
"We're here to rescue you. We've got your R2 unit. We're here with Ben Kenobi." Luke informed her.
"Ben Kenobi is here! Where is he?" Leia asked, rushing out of the door.
