Keep Your Guard Up (ON HIATUS)

Chapter 10

Leia was running.

That's all she could do.

The imperial's had bordered, and they were heading to the detention centre, obviously to free Accalia.

Leia had split from her family, and couldn't find the, but luckily was able to find Alana.

The two were running, turning every corner, racing for the transports.

But then, just as they saw the transport, the door automatically shut.

"Wonderful!" Alana growled.

"This can't get any worse."

Then, it got worse.

The door on the other side was starting to be burst open, and with the equipment they were using, it was obviously the empire.

Leia turned to Alana.

"You jinxed it!"

Leia pulled out her lightsaber and Alana pulled out her DL-18.

The door burst open,  it no fire came.

In stepped a old man, who looked exactly like Wolffe and Rex.

'Hey Step General."

Alana faulted.

"J-Jesse?"

"Been a while."

"Echo?}

The old clone quickly unholstered his gun and shot the two girls with stun bolts. They collapsed to the floor, unconscious.

"We need an evac. We found the old generals daughter, and the Step-General."

"Alright, I'll be there soon." Cody said from over the comm.

They looked at the two girl after the line disconnected.

"She looks like a carbon copy of Senator Amidala."

"That's her mom, Jesse. Of course she'd look like her."

"The step-general hasn't aged a day since the Siege of Monatoo."

"She's been in a Stasis pod for twelve years, Jesse. That's the point of the contraption."

"No need to go big brains on me, jeez."

The two continued to squabble until Cody arrived, and the girls were taken away.

As they walked back onto the transport, they were discussing different things entirely.

"Representative Binks would be a good warrior with training, Jess."

"Have you seen the gungan fight? He'd be a better clown."

"20 credits be isn't."

"100 credits he is."

Leia awoke with a massive headache, and went to touch her forehead, only to find out that both hands moved.

Her hands were bound.

She looked do her side and saw Alana leaning against a wall, as when she saw Leia was awake, rushed to her side.

"Are you ok, Leia?"

"Im fine, Aunt 'Ala."

The door opened, to see the same clones than before.

Leia expected a snarky comment from Alana, but she instead sighed in relief.

"I don't even care that you guys are with the imps. I'm so glad you alive."

One clone grinned.

"As are we, Step-General."

"But I didn't like you stunning me and Leia."

"Fair enough."

The other clone bent down and inspected Leia.

"This is the general's kid? She looks a lot more the Senator Amidala's kid, to be honest."

"Well who your mom, Bariss Offee? You aren't such a sight to see as well, honey."

The two clones laughed.

"She's got his spunk, that's for sure."

"And the commander's snippiness!"

"And for you're well being, princess, we did have a mom. Sorta."

"General Ti took on that role."

The clone with the tattoo then sighed.

"The Emperor wants you guys."

Alana sighed.

"Of course he does."

They let themselves stand, then lead them to the interrogation part of the detention centre.

A hologram flickered.

"Back in my custody I see, Senator."

"Drop the act. I already know what you want, Sidious. But remember, the serum doesn't work on me."

Jesse and Echo left, and to torture droid strapped them to tables, but not with out a fight.

"Well, my dear. What idpf I told I spent extra credits, and managed to get a serum that does work on you."

Alana paled.

"You didn't."

"But I did!

Droids! Start the process."

Leia could only watch as the droid moved to towards her aunt, as she struggled to free herself.

The serum sank into her skin, and Alana froze.

Her eyes turned onto a deep brown, and as her eyes slowly started to droop, they flicked to a intense...

Yellow.

The serum had worked.

Dark veins started to form all over her body.

Leia thrashed against her bonds.

"What did you do to her!"

Palpatine turned to Leia.

"Not to worry, I have told these droids I prefer to turn you the traditional way, and after you have submitted we shall go after your twin brother."

"Don't you dare touch, him."

"I'm afraid that's out of your power, my child."

The released Alana and dragged her out of the room.

Leia leaned back, readying for the pain.

The first strike of electricity hit, and she screamed in pain.

It echoed off the walls unanswered.
