They fired.

Freya fired her blaster first, then Chewie, then Leia, and then Lando. C-3PO kept yelling and panicking while attaching to the back of the Wookiee. R2-DR was just rolling with them.

Freya glanced to a different direction.

"Luke is still here," She says.

Leia glanced at Freya, "He'll find a way out." She says, "We need to get out if we are any help for him."

Freya glanced at the large Wookiee.

Chewbacca growled at her.

Freya nods.

Lando and Leia lead the group down the corridors with Freya and Chewie holding the rear. As they ran, of course they kept running into troopers.

Freya sensed something.

She turned her gaze behind her.

She extended her hand out and then she had sent back a small unit of troopers on their rears. Freya was a little stunned that it worked, she remembered doing that on Hoth but she wasn't sure if she could do it again.

Freya glanced at Chewbacca, who saw it.

He growls at her.

Freya smirks.

The Wookiee was willing to keep that a secret.

{EMPIRE STRIKES BACK}

LANDO, LEIA, Chewbacca, Freya, and the droids came around a corner and headed for the door to the landing platform. They catch a glimpse of the Millennium Falcon for a moment before the door slams shut.

The group ducks into an alcove as a unit of troopers arrive at the end of the corridor. The troopers send a rain of laser bolts at the group. Without hesitation, Freya and Chewie return fire at the troopers. All the way in the middle of gunfire, Lando punches desperately at the door's control panel.

"The security codes has been changed!" Lando yells.

3PO turns to the R2 unit, "R2, you can tell the computer to override the security system." He tells the astro mech.

3PO points to a computer socket on the control panel. R2 beeps and scoots towards it. Lando, meanwhile, has connected up to the panel's intercom.

"Attention! This is Lando Calrissian. The Empire has taken control of the city. I advise everyone to leave before more Imperial troops arrive." Lando says into the intercom.

R2 takes off a computer cover and sticks his computer arm into the socket. Suddenly, a short beep turns into a wild scream. R2's circuits light up, his head spins wildly, and smoke begins to seep out underneath him. Quickly, Chewie pulls him away.
