"Apparently, they figured out the V was a decoy....we can't get in contact with it at all...." one of the officers said
"Blast, that means we don't have an alternative opti-" I started but suddenly the whole blockade runner shook and I nearly fell over, but used the Force to help keep myself balanced
"They are firing on us!" one of the officers exclaimed
Gee, ya think? I thought, but resisted from saying it outloud
"How could they possibly know we were coming here?" I wondered outloud, but suddenly another shot of blaster fire shook the ship "I guess that can wait."
"Keep firing back!" I ordered, and looked to Scout for a breif moment, not saying a word
Suddenly, I realized that they wouldn't destroy us....they were just trying to weaken us! My eyes darted to the comm, and I looked to the Comm Officer "I want all available troops armed and ready and waiting at the main entrance! All others scattered throughout the ship, ready for battle! NOW!"
She obeyed as soon as I finished my sentence, and I looked at Scout "We better get out there ourselves...."

Scout's jaw hardened as she raised her comlink to her lips. "Darrina, keep the Senator in the escape pods and send a beacon to Bail: we're under attack. Boarding parties are imminent. Keep Leia and the plans safe."
Another jolt rocked the ship as Scout put her comm away. "Fire back," she commanded. "Seal all blast doors. That should slow them down long enough!"
"We're being beamed in," Antillies cried.
"Try to get out of it," Scout snapped. "Naos, you and me take the exits." She took out her comm again and contacted Darrina. "Sned a distress call to Liberty, too."

I nodded at Scout, and headed towards the doorway. As I walked with Scout out into the corridors of the Tantive IV, I stopped in my tracks when I sensed a familiar presence....
"Vader...." I said

"I know," Scout said tartly. "The blast doors won't keep them out for long. That's why I sent Leia and Darrina to the escape pods. They'll be safe there."
Rebels ran past them, and they joined them, lightsabers out and activated. Scout's two orange ones made a stark contrast with the ice-blue tattoos on her shoulder and face, but right now she didn't care. The ship gave one last terrible jerk before everything went silent.
"We've been tractored in," she breathed.

"I am not sure if Leia, or Darrina, will actually go to the escape pods, much less stay in them." I pointed out to Scout "You know how they are, especially Leia. She could probably convince Darrina to go out somewhere else into the ship with her to do Force knows what."

"We can both trust Dar," Scout explained. "As for Leia... She has all of her mother's fire and none of her common sense." She flashed a grin at Naos.
Getting into her hybrid Jar'Kai/Juyo stance, Scout watched the blast doors start to spark. A loud explosion could be heard, and the door flew back on it's hinges as the explosive tape did its' job. As soon as the muzzel of an E-11 poked out of the thick smoke, Scout was in action.
Meanwhile...
Darrina did whatever she could to protect Leia ever since she learned she was Padmé's daughter. She had failed to protect her Queen, so she had sworn an oath to protect Padmé, and that oath also passed down to her children. Even though Padmé never directly raised her, Leia had inherited her hard-headedness.
"Keep it down," Darrina hissed. She listened to her comlink. "Force, they just boarded! Senator, we must get you to the escape pods."
"Where's Artoo?" Leia demanded as she was hustled into the escape pod bay. "I have an idea."

Naos
I ignited my lightsaber and jumped into battle. Rebels and Stormtroopers started going down, more Rebels than Imperials. I slashed down another troop, and then held it up in defense as blaster bolts came at both me and Scout.
We're being pushed back!
As we went backwards and backwards, I saw Threepio and Artoo rushing through the halls, deep into one of the more dark corridors....

Scout's lightsabers were bright orange blurs. Sinking deep into the Force, she was joined with Naos. When he moved left, she moved right, as if it was a dance they had practiced for months. Lethal energy that sped towards her was batted back towards her attackers, but she was holding back. Concentrating on defending her troops, the stormtroopers started to press them back.
No.
A surge of the Force pushed the stormtroopers back into a large pile by the door, and even though this spelled the death for a few, they got right back up.

"Scout, come on!" I yelled to her as I continued to deflect blaster shots that were coming from all directions
The Rebel soldiers were being pushed back, and so were we. I wouldn't let Scout stay where the Stormtroopers were pouring from and die.
But is that the real reason?
In truth, I was scared. Scared of what would happen if she saw Vader. It had been twelve years, but I knew the minute she saw him it would all come rushing back. He was the one who caused everything with Cerasi, and about every single bad thing that happened.
I cut down another Stormtrooper, and yelled to Scout "HURRY!"

Scout glanced at Naos and her jaw tightened even more. Deactivating her lightsabers, she jumped towards him, hitting the ground with her right shoulder and rolling behind Naos. They took shelter behind a wall. "What was that about?" she hissed. "Vader's going to be in there any minute! They'll all die!"
Mutter non-stop Huttesse curses, she peeked around the corner and strong telekinetic power threw five stormtroopers back into the doorway, giving the Rebels enough time to open fire. Taking out her hold-out blaster, she started firing, unconsciously adapting a classic shooter's stance. Dipping her head to the right, she felt a stray blaster shot narrowly miss her.
When she came back around the wall to reload, she paused. "The escape pods," she said. "Leia."
