Chapter 26
The doors opened... two troopers escorted Han's body down one hallway while the rest escorted Alia, Chewie and Leia down another one.
"I need you both to cause a distraction so I can slip away.... I must warn Luke," Alia whispered.
Before Leia could say anything... Lando appeared in front of the Troopers, quickly blasting them.
"You got to be kidding me!" Leia growled.
"I have a plan... so please hear me out," Lando begged.
"As much as I would love to hear it, I need to go warn my son," Alia said, quickly disappearing.
She slowly walked down a hallway... turning the corner and bumping into a familiar R2 unit.
"Mom?" A familiar voice asked.
She looked up and saw Luke.
"Luke! You can't be here... Vader is looking for you," Alia sighed.
"I know, Yoda told me," Luke said.
"Master Yoda! How is he?" Alia asked.
"He's good... he misses you," Luke smiled.
All of a sudden Luke closed his eyes... turning his body and started walking away.
"Luke? Where are you going?" Alia asked following him.
"Vader.... He's calling out to me," Luke whispered.
"I guess we're gonna fight him," Alia replied.
Luke stopped and looked at her.
"No. I need you to sit this one out," Luke sighed.
"WHAT?! No! I'm not gonna lose you again," Alia snapped.
"You won't lose me! But if we fight him together.... you will. Please let me do this," Luke begged.
"Fine. Afterwards I need to tell you something," Alia replied, pulling Luke in for a hug.
They pulled away.... and Luke walked away off to fight Vader.
*•*•*•*•*
Alia sat in the cockpit... as Lando and Chewie flew away from Cloud city.
When suddenly Leia comes running into the cockpit, grabbing everyone's attention.
"We need to go back! Luke is calling out to me," Leia said.
Lando looked hesitant but followed her orders.... they quickly flew around the city, searching for him.
"I don't see him," Lando whispered.
"Try flying at the bottom of the city," Alia mumbled.
"Where the vents are at?" Lando asked.
"Yes," Alia replied.
Lando nodded and started flying towards that direction.... and in a matter of seconds they found Luke hanging on a metal pole.
Alia raced the the hatch that was located at the top of the Falcon and opened it.
"Luke, let go! I'll catch you," Alia said.
"How should I trust you?!!! You lied to me about my father," Luke yelled.
"I was protecting you! Now please let go," Alia begged.
Luke dropped into her arms... her head quickly searched his body, looking for any type of injuries. Anger quickly filled her when she noticed he was missing a hand and he was badly bruised.... She lifted his body down into the hatch and closed it, making her way down the ladder.... setting him on the ground. Alia raced to the cockpit and looked at Lando, then to Chewie.
"I need you to take me back!" Alia ordered.
"What for?" Lando asked.
"I need to kill him!" Alia snapped.
Alia looked over her shoulder and saw Leia tending to Luke... she smiled lightly knowing they both would take care of one another. She looked back at Lando... waiting for him to answer.
He shook his head no... and flew away from the flying city.
