Naos
"What about them?" I asked as more Stormtroopers came around the corner and began to fire at us
I slowly began to procceed backwards, and my eyes widened when one took out a thermal detonator. "SCOU-" I began to yell but he threw it right towards me, and I was blown completely backwards
I hit the wall, and grunted in pain. When I opened my eyes, I saw I wasn't in the main corridors anymore, and wasn't far from the escape pods.
I saw Leia inserting the plans into R2, and asked "What do you think you're doing?!"
Threepio was coming, and Leia didn't answer and just put her hood up and ran off. Where the frack is Darrina?! And what are the plans doing in R2?!

The hallways on the Tantive IV were long and narrow. And because they were long and narrow, there was only about four meters between walls. When the thermal detonator exploded, Naos was thrown long-ways. He may have landed painfully, Scout didn't know. All she knew was the ringing in her head and the throbbing of her entire body. She had been thrown into the wall with the force of the blast.
Not even daring to breath, she stayed on the floor, picturing herself as mangled and bloody, a picture of death, though she knew she wasn't bleeding. Apparently the Imperials thought she was dead. One removed his gloves and pressed two fingers to her neck, but withdrew them so fast he never even felt her strong and steady pulse. "She's too hot," he complained.
"Thank you," she answered. The Imperials gaped in surprise, because all the imaginary blood and burns had disappeared right before their eyes. "Now it's my turn."
Orange fire. A strangled yelp. Four helmets fell to the floor with a small thud, followed by the bodies. Scout deactivated the lightsaber she had out, and took off to find Naos, unsure of his condition.

"Why, Master Naos, R2, what is going on?!" Threepio exclaimed as the golden droid walked right up beside me
"I wish I knew...." I said, rubbing my head to try to soothe the pain
R2 began beeping as he approached us, and I asked "Why did Leia give you the plans?"
"Beep booop dweeet(For safe keeping.)" he responded simply
The little compactor is being too vague....it's usual for Leia to do something like this. I should have known she would have left that escape pod, Darrina or no Darrina.
I looked as Scout entered, and said in a low tone "Glad to see you alright. Apparently, for unknown reasons, Leia gave Artoo the Death Star plans...."

Scout furrowed her brow as R2 started rolling towards the escape pods. “What in spit are you doing?” Scout asked. The little droid make a ‘whirooo’ sound as proceeded to make its’ way towards the pods/
“Mistress Gash,” Threepio said, “He seems to have been told to find Obi-Wan Kenobi. He needs help getting into the escape pod.” The droid beeped. “Oh, very well. We need help getting into the escape pods.”
Scout looked at Naos. “We can’t let those plans get back into Imperial hands,” she said. “Fine, we’ll help you.”
Getting the droids into the escape pod wasn’t particularly hard, and as the door closed and it shot off into space, Scout had a glimpse of Darrina charging towards them before both of her outstretched hands pushed both Scout and Naos into the escape pods. And Leia, who had been hiding in the shadows, hit the eject button.
The doors closed before Scout’s disbelieving eyes. She started pounding on the door. “You better open up the kriffing doors now! Dar! Leia! What in the hell do you think you’re doing?!”
“Find Kenobi,” Darrina yelled through the door, and as the pod ejected, Scout could be heard yelling obstinacies in every known direction.

As the escape pods went flying out of the Tantive IV's pod bays, I could barely think. I had a slight headache and was bruised on my side, and it had all happened so fast.
"What in Force's name just happ-" I began to say to Scout but suddenly the escape pod shook more than a ship I had ever been on before shook, and there was an explosion in the back "Just great...they are firing on the pod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I yelled

"What? They are? I didn't know!"
Scout lunged for the controls, opening up the drag fins to slow them down once they reached orbit. "Hold on," she warned. The escape pod shook again. "We're going to crash this thing on the outskirts of Mos Eisly." An alarm started ringing. "Way way on the outskirts of Mos Eisley. Oh, I'm going to kill, Darrina."
--
The decision to put the two Jedi in charge of the droids was one of Leia's better ideas. As the stormtroopers killed all of the Rebels aboard, or even put them in the Star Destroyer's prisoner blocks, Leia and Darrina were hiding in the shadows. As the first four stormtroopers entered the pod bay, Darrina fired two quick shots and Leia ran. Blue beams of energy passed over her, and she dropped to the ground, stunned. Darrina soon followed the same fate.

As the engine tanks were fired upon and there was another explosion, I looked at Scout "Well, at least we'll be closer to Kenobi." I muttered "But there's the problem of getting back to Aldeeran, I certainly don't have any cred-"
Suddenly as we entered the atmosphere, in several seconds we were down in the sand....

Scout braced herself. They had landed in a remotely sandy part of the desert, but gravity seemed to get the better of them as they went in the air once, twice, rolled, and finally came to a stop. Breathing heavily, Scout looked up at the seats and the floor.
Wear your seatbelt next time.
Groaning slightly, she fumbled her her lightsaber and plunged it into the fused-shut landing ramp door. Exiting out into hot air, Scout helped out Naos, and they lay in the sand for a moment, panting. "That," she said breathlessly, "was awesome. Let's go again."

I smirked at her, and said "Mabye next time when we aren't on the run from Vader and his Imperials."
I took a minute to just catch my breath. I was staring up at Tatooine's hot sky, and it was smothering-type weather, but I didn't care right now. I just had to lie there for a moment after we had recieved the Death Star Plans, been boarded by Imperials, fought countless Stormtroopers, were pushed into an escape pod, and crash landed on a planet.
Slowly, I sat up, and tried to shake the sand off of the back of my head. I then got back on my feet, and looked around. It was pretty much desolate sand except one small homestead, and our escape pod.
But suddenly I realized there wasn't another escape pod.
"Frack, that Destroyer's blaster fire set the pod off. The droids' pod is probably still intact because they were most likely blasting all the pods that they could sense life forms on, the droids wouldn't have registered. What ever the case, we have to find them...." I said to Scout, trying to help her up
But on the other hand, I REALLY don't have the energy right now....
Even as a Jedi, all of this had stretched me thin. I could say I had been in worse situations, but that was during my youth, although I refused to believe I was really that old. I was only twenty-nine.

“I don’t think you’re old.” Scout smiled at him, reading his thoughts. The sun glinted off of her light tattoos and hair, making them seem to glow that was only offset by the small trail of blood dripping from a cut across her eyebrow, making it seem like she was crying. She impatiently wiped it away, leaving a red smear across her features.
She looked dubiously at the escape pod, then tilted her head back to look in the sky. She could just barely see the Star Destroyer, and assumed it was getting out of orbit to make hyperspace. Fastening her hair back with a long cord, she sat back down in the sand and considered her options:
There was a home up north, but without any physical reference, she didn’t exactly know how big it was and how long it would take it get there. And even if they got there, would the locals turn them in? Would they be nice? Would that even be old man Kenobi?
It was too dangerous to trust others, now in the age of the Empire. She remembered that, as a girl of ten, she had used to listen to scary stories about the Sith that brought many sleepless nights. But now she was living in that story, and she had no idea if it would have a happy ending.
“We need to hide the escape pod,” she suggested. “Before the Imperials see. Or we can kill two animals and put them in the pod to confuse them. But either way, they’ll be asking those locals up there if they saw anything: we’ll have to get to them first and gain their trust before we can do anything.”
--
The Tantive IV was bustling with activity. But instead of Rebel soldiers doing their duties, they were instead rounded up in groups and led to the Star Destroyer. Darrina had awoken in electro-cuffs, and no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't free herself. And neither, apparently, could Leia.
Darrina knew the escape pod she had forced Scout and Naos in had been fired upon, and she didn't know if they were alive or not. She felt guilt for maybe causing her friends' death, but she was confident they had escaped and were trying to form a plan.
She and Leia were led through coordidors they had once walked freely in, and they were turned over to another squad. Then, proceeding down one of the halls, she stiffened.
"Darth Vader," Leia said pleasently, as if she was welcoming and old friend, "only you would be so bold."
