2.00 The Battle of Speeders

2.00 The Battle of Speeders

Harmony followed behind her brother as they exited the ship and climbed up a hill. She fixed her helmet before he raised his hand to stop the group for moving. The people who were behind Chewbacca squated down. CP3O complained, as always, "Oh, I told you it was dangerous here!"

Han continued to walk and Harmony, Leia, Luke and Chewbacca followed. The five kneeled behind a log and overlooked the bushes and trees. Far below, Harmony spotted figures with white armor on.

Scout troopers, she thought to herself.

"Should we try and go around?" Leia whispered.

"It'll take time," Luke responded in the same tone.

Harmony said, "This whole life or death mission will be for nothing if they see us."

Chewbacca growled before Han took charge, "Chewie and I will take care of this. You stay here."

"I'm not letting you idiots take care of them yourselves," Harmony interjected, "I'm coming with you."

Luke warned, "Quietly. There might be more of them out there."

Han gave a smirk before exiting, "Hey, it's me."

Harmony looked to Leia and Luke, "And that is why I'm going to help."

She followed her brother, moving branches from her face. They climbed down the hill without making no noise. Once the trio got to the ground, they hid behind trees. Harmony and Han poked her head out to see the troopers. The next tree over had Chewbacca leaning against it. He gave a soft growl and bobbed his head. Han flicked his blaster with a nod. He walked behind one of the troopers, mimicking its movements. Then a snap of a branch was heard from under his foot. Harmony smacked her forehead while the trooper took notice of Han. He slapped Han, causing him to fall to the ground.

"Go for help! Go!"

The other trooper listened and hopped on the speeder bike. Harmony stepped out into the open and kicked the trooper in his feet. He fell to the ground but once he stumbled to get back up, Han was already standing, recovered from his slap and threw the scout trooper against the tree. Chewbacca left the safety of the tree bark and got his bowcaster ready. A red blast shot straight, hitting the bike and making the trooper, who went to go for help, flip off. The Solo siblings continued to beat up the other scout trooper, banging him against the trees. The trooper had a chance. He kicked Harmony, causing her to land near two more speeders.

"That's my sister!" Han shouted, slamming the scout trooper against more of the trees.

Harmony slowly stood up. She heard footsteps and turned around to see Luke and Leia. They disobeyed her brother's orders.

"Over there!"

Leia shouted, causing Harmony to look back around. She saw two more scout troopers, on speeder bikes, flying away.

"I see them! Wait, Leia!" Luke shouted after her as she ran onto the bike. He followed, holding her tight as she zoomed away from Harmony.

Harmony glanced to her right at the last speeder in sight. She hopped on and remembered what Leia did to make it go. She squeezed the handlebars and she flew, following the others.

"Harmony!" She could hear her brother faintly scream.

Harmony was close to Leia and Luke. She dodged branches and bushes. Harmony watched as Luke and Leia banged their speeder against another trooper's. Once they were close, Luke jumped and threw the trooper off. Soon, Leia was on Harmony's left side. More speeders were heard from behind. Shots blasted their speeders.

"Keep on that one!" Luke ordered, "Harmony and I got these two!"

Harmony and Luke moved backwards, passing the two troopers. One took to the left, the other took to the right. Luke followed the left and Harmony followed the right. She gained speed, trying to get close to it. Harmony succeeded, having the two speeders next to each other. She looked at the trooper, giving him a smirk before she kicked him in the stomach, making him fall onto the hard piece of wood. Harmony moved away from the out of control speeder before it crashed into a tree and blew up. She moved left, thinking that Luke will need a backup. She moved as fast as the speeder could take her. Harmony turned a sharp turn to find Luke, battling the same trooper. She caught up to him.

"Need some help?" She shouted.

Luke replied, "Probably."

She sticked to the left side of Luke. Then suddenly, she heard another speeder. A few feet away, on her left, a scout trooper held his blaster out, ready to shoot. A blast struck her speeder. It caused a jolt. She knew if he shot again, she would be done for but Harmony had an idea.

"Luke, be ready for some company," she smirked.

Once Harmony noticed the scout trooper reangle the shot, she jumped onto Luke's speeder. She held tight on him. The red blast hit the speeder, but not her.

She sighed, thankful that her plan worked. Harmony hoped that something would happen to the scout trooper with surprisingly good aim. Good for her, he was drunk of his victory that he didn't notice the tree in front of him. A fire exploded as the speeder ran into a tree.

Luke and the scout trooper battled it out, slamming their speeders together. In the distance, Harmony could see a tree going right for them.

"Uh Luke," she muttered.

"Jump!" He shouted.

Harmony followed his directions and flipped off the speeder. They both fell onto the ground. Harmony felt a surge of pain as she slammed her back against the ground. Luke pulled out a metal item and clicked a button. A green light appeared. The trooper came back around, taking shots at Luke. He blocked them with his lightsaber. The speeder came closer and Luke slashed the front of it, sending it spinning towards a tree with the trooper still on it. Sparks flew into the air. Luke took off his helmet and gave a breath. The light from lightsaber was gone as he clicked the button again, hiding it until he needed it again. Harmony laid on the ground.

"You okay?" Luke asked.

Harmony answered, struggling to get up, "Yeah I'm fine. Let's just find everyone."
