Pain. That's the first thing I comprehend. Smoke. That's the first thing I smell. A cold floor. That's the first thing I feel. Blood. That's the first thing I taste. A burning Ghost. That's the first thing I see. Chopper nudges me trying to get me to get up. I sit up and cough to see Beway under a part of the ceiling. I crawl over to him and move it for him letting him up. Now to get out of my once precious ship. I help Beway up and we struggle down the hall. but the ladder to the ramp is blocked. I look at Chopper who is cut up and burned and look around me. I feel Beway shift next to me and look at him.

"We can't get off." I tell him as I look around.

"Yes we can hang on." He says and I feel as if I'm being squeezed where I stand. The heat in the Ghost seems to go down and so does the sound of the raging fire that surrounds us. I look around and see the fire dying. I look at Beway and see he has his eyes closed and his arm stretched out. I feel relief fall over me as I see the last bit of fire go out. The Ghost, scorched and cut up, is still intact. Beway opens his eyes looking tired and nods his head at me before he collapses slipping out of my arms. I gasp and manage to grab his head before he hits the floor. I slip my arms underneath his and drag him to my room. I lay him down on the bottom  bunk and leave heading to check the rest of the Ghost. I breath in a sigh of relief when I see nothing really important is burned. I head back to the cockpit to see Chopper booting up the Ghost.

"Go get some rest Chop I think it's best we stay here for a few days wait for the Empire to stop looking for us." I tell him. He beeps as he rolls out of the room and I shake my head. I turn and get to work on the comm system. After awhile I start to hear voices but it's hard to hear who it is and what there saying. After a while I just give up on fixing it and hit my bed room closing the door and climbing into bed. I lay down closing my eyes thinking about the others and where they might be and what trouble they could be in.

"We'll save then and everyone will be fine." I tell myself as I drift off into a pool of black. I will come this calm feeling happy that it's finally quiet it seems the world is at peace and so am I even though I know everything is wrong in the world.
