       Poor Leia had been put in some revealing gold bikini and was chained to Jabba. Out of respect, Greyson tried to avoid looking at her, she felt weird looking at Leia knowing she didn't want to be seen like that.

Greyson felt the warmth of Luke's presence before she saw him. She knew it would take a lot to prevent herself from running up to him. It had felt like years since she last saw him, and she missed the feeling of his arms around her.

The hooded figure that was Luke rounded the corner slowly. One of Jabba's 'friends' leaned over to the Hutt, saying something about how Luke must be allowed to speak. Jabba yelled at the creature, calling him a weak-minded fool. Greyson snorted and a few people near her looked over. She coughed awkwardly and turned her attention back to Jabba and the boy.

"You will bring Han Solo and the Wookie to me." Luke stated as he pulled the hood off his head.

"Your Jedi mind trick will not work on me." Jabba laughed.

"Nevertheless, I'm taking Captian Solo and his friends." Luke laced his fingers together in front of him. He took a few steps closer to Jabba. "You can either profit by this, or be destroyed. It's your choice, but I warn you not to underestimate my powers."

Jabba let out another laugh and Luke simply cocked his head to one side.

Greyson couldn't help but let her thoughts run away from her while watching Luke. The all-black outfit and confident front he had put up was working for him, and she would leave it at that, for her sake. She couldn't let her thoughts run too much as they were still in the middle of a mission.

Luke used the Force to steal someone's blaster but to no avail, Jabba pressed the button next to his sit, dropping Luke down into the pit below. Trying to keep her composure she glanced at Leia and she made her way over and looked down between the holes in the grate. Luke flung his robe off and looked around in a slightly panicked state.

The small crowd that had formed was cheering as the Rancor came out. Luke picked up a large bone left behind from one of the creature's previous meals, but it picked the blonde up anyway. Luke placed the bone in the Rancor's jaw and it dropped him. Luke took the chance and scuttered underneath a rock.

The Rancor snapped the bone and reached for Luke again, who took a rock and bashed it against the Rancor's hand. While it was screaming in pain, Luke got up and ran for the exit.

Leia, Lando, and Greyson were all leaned over watching intently, worried about what would become of Luke. Lando would send the girls occasional glances of what seemed to be reassurance, but they rarely caught them.

Luke threw a rock at the door button, and the door closed on the Rancor's head, killing it. The laughter around stopped and everything went deathly silent. Greyson finally stopped holding her breath and let out a sigh of relief. Luke was okay, for now at least. Leia smiled, relieved, until Jabba yanked on her chain, choking her. Greyson winced as she watched.

Jabba had a guard bring Han out when Luke was brought up. Jabba had some sick almost-smile on his face.

"His high exaltedness, Jabba the Hutt, had decreed that you both are to be terminated. Immediately." C3Po translated.

"Good, I hate long waits." Han said in a bored tone.

"You will be taken to the Dune Sea and cast into the Pit of Carkoon, the nesting place of the all-powerful Sarlacc."

"Doesn't sound so bad." Han commented.

"In his belly, you will find a new definition of pain and suffering." 3PO continued while Jabba sat with a smug look on his slimy face. "You will be slowly digested over one thousand years." The gold droid trailed off.

"On second thought, let's pass on that." Han said quickly.

"You should've bargained Jabba," Luke said. The guards began pushing him and Han. "That's the last mistake you'll ever make." He said as he was bustled away.

Greyson made a small humming noise, glancing between Leia and Lando. She hoped Luke had a plan.
