The sniper cured under his breath. How could he have been so stupid!? He knew they would be coming for him now. He collected his breath and fired one last stable shot. Success! It hit the Twi'lek on her shoulder.

Estelle took a deep breath. Her delicate finger looks so out of place around the trigger, but she knew what she wanted. She wanted Winter to see her as the girl she used to be. Not as the girl she was. She didn't want to be Estelle anymore. She wanted to be Snowbird again.

Kula grabbed her shoulder and sunk down, muffling her screams. The pain. The pain was too much. She shook her head at nothing and squeezed her shoulder tightly. "Winter…"

Admiral Aquare watched through the cameras as Shiloh's sister got shot. She laughed sharply, but then noticed a flicker of movement behind a rock. It was… She looked at the nearest control room operator and jabbed her finger at the screen. "Dispatch as many troopers as nessicairy to get to that girl. Now!"
"Yes, Admiral!"

Shiloh was straining against her restrains. She wanted to scream but knew that she couldn't. So she only sighed. Her skin was turning such a pale blue that anyone who looked at her in a quick glance would think that she was white. "Hurry Esser…" she whispered. Her chin dropped onto her chest. She was so weak…

(Holy… Crap…)

Elias wasn't fast enough… The sniper had fired one last shot and hit Kula in the shoulder. He cursed under his breath. He killed the sniper and jogged back to Winter who was nursing Kula's wound. Suddenly, Winter stood stock still. "Estelle…" She whispered. She gave Elias a panicked look. "Estelle came off of the ship. She's on the asteroid. Elias, I got to go to her. They took her once from me, they won't have the chance to take her again. Free the wookies. Save Shiloh. Go. You know what to do…" Elias grimly nodded. He asked Kula if she was ok to walk beside him. He grabbed Winter by the shoulder before she ran off in the direction of Estelle. He pulled her close and kissed her on the cheek. "Until we meet again…" He softly whispered. Winter bowed her head. "Until we meet again…" and then, she ran off to Estelle's aid…

Estelle saw troopers marching towards her and panicked. She remembered the gun in her hands. She aimed it at the nearest trooper, but didn't fire. The trooper noticed her.
"Hey! She's right here!"

Kula nodded quickly. She didn't trust her voice yet. If she spoke, and it wavered, Elias would treat her like a child. She did her best to steady her breaths.

(Hallo.)
Winter was almost there… She heard a trooper say, "She's over there!" Winter was close but not there yet… She had a chance, but it was fading. She dropped her head, and charged forward. Elias looked at Kula. "Hey, you ok? If you need me to help you along, just ask…"

Estelle felt every muscle in her body tense. Someone was coming up behind her. She saw Winter sprinting towards her and her heart throbbed. The blaster. The blaster. No. She remembered what Winter had said. Something about controlling water. But where was the water to control? She had been thinking for too long. Someone slammed into her roughly from behind.

"I'm fine," Kula said aloud. It was a mistake. Her voice was weak and shaky.

Winter looked up, sweat was running down her face. She saw a trooper slam Estelle to the ground. Winter let a blue light envelope her. She charged forward. She jumped over the trooper who slammed Estelle to the ground. She turned on a dime and stabbed her weapon through him. Winter was wheezing. "Are you ok Estelle? Can you fight… I need back up. I'm exhausted. I can fight for a little while longer. But not long…" Elias nodded. He heard the pain in Kula's voice. He stepped forward. "Alright Kula, lead the way…"

Kula nodded and headed towards the wookie barracks. She was clutching her shoulder and keeping her screams silent. All of her thoughts were worries about. Shiloh.

"I'm fine," Estelle's voice was faint. "Of I had just never gone in their study and seen…" She trailed off fearfully and readied her blaster.

Winter nodded. She knew her strokes were slowing. She was weakening. "Estelle, what did you see? I need to know. I need to stop it…" Winter fell to her knees. She was exhausted. Still, she fought. She got back on her feet, and using the last of her energy, willed the air in front of her to freeze. All of the blasters in front of her stopped working. The troopers, froze up because of the temperature difference. Winter sank to her knees, and looked up at the stars, and then, she fell back on her back, looking up. She was so tired… Elias was following Kula. She had taken him to the barracks, and now he was standing in front of the large, incredibly thick wooden door that blocked the entrance. Elias laughed. "Wood door. This is a party trick I used to do. Watch…" He placed his hand on the door, and dropped the temperature of the door, making sure ice got into the grain of the door. Suddenly, the door looked like it was swelling. "Kula, turn your head…" Elias ducked his head and covered his face. Then, the door exploded in a shower of wood chips. Elias smiled. "That was the equilivent of Hothian fireworks…" Elias looked into the wookie barracks. It was filthy…

"Winter? Winter?" Estelle crawled over to Winter quickly. "Winter??"

A huge wookie covered in fur so dark brown that it looked black lunged out of the doorway and slammed into Elias.
"No! Ravion, don't. This is a friend of mine! He is a Hothian and he is here to free you and your people." Kula spoke quickly in wookie.
The wookie looked up at her and got reluctantly off of Elias. "Are you sure?"
Kula nodded and looked at Elias. "He saved my life."

Winter opened her eyes. "Yeah, yeah… I'm totally fine…" She sat up in a daze. "Whoa. I haven't fought like that in a long time… Guess I'm out of practice… I'm just so tired…" Elias got up off of the ground. "Ice armor, is useless against a body slam, by a wookie… I'm pretty sure I don't have a rib cage anymore…" He rubbed his ribs, which was hard to do because of his armor. "Correction. Winter saved your life, I just killed the guy who wanted to take it. Anyway… WHO WANTS TO BE FREE?"

"Winter, I-"
"If you stop talking now, I may decide to spare your life." The cool metal of a blaster dug into the back of Estelle's skull. "Come on, stand up," her take mother's cruel voice ordered.

Kula rolled her eyes. Several other wookie had come out, teeth bares at the sound of Elias's yell. "Don't tell at them. They… They aren't used to a good kind of yelling," Kula said sadly. She turned to the wookies. "We have come to free you and help you escape. But we also need your strength and numbers. Will you help us?" The wookies all let up a battle cry, confirming their alliance. "I'm assuming that means yes," Kula grinned.

Elias smiled. "Tell them I'm sorry for yelling. And tell them what I need them to do. And while were at it, let's just free everybody else. This is a Rebellion isn't it? Let's rebel!" It was as if someone had poured acid down Winter's back. She went rigid. She shakily stood and faced Estelle's not mother. "You. You took her from me once, a long time ago, I won't let that happen again. You've known all along that taking her was the biggest mistake you've ever made. You were sent to take the heir, the young girl that was the daughter, but failed. You took her best friend, who played for her. You took Estelle, and not me. I was the one you wanted, all those years ago. I'm here now, and to take me, or her, you'll have to fight for us. All your troopers are dead. The rest, are locked up. No one in, no one out. One against two…" Winter lunged forward and grabbed Estelle's not mother's wrist, and pointed the blaster down to the ground. Winter was locked into a struggle. She was fighting for the control of the blaster. Estelle's not mother grabbed her other wrist, and Winter was fighting once again…

Admiral Aquare strained to free the blaster from Winter's grip. She was loosing the fight. Then, for a split second, Winter's grip faltered. Aquare took advantage and yanked the gun away. She grabbed Estelle from the ground and smoothly put her into a choke hold with one arm, the other holding the blaster steadily to Estelle's head. "One wrong move, and your little Estelle is done for."
Estelle gasped for breath. "Winter… Finish it… Now…"

Kula took a deep breath and began explaining eveythjng. By the end, the wookies were looking at Elias for leadership. Ravion said something.
"They're in," Kula translated with a smile.

Winter turned away. She knew what she had to do, but it would leave her the target… She whispered, “Elias forgive me…” Winter transferred her armor to Estelle knowing it would only cover her for a few moments before coming back to her. As it covered Estelle, Winter grabbed the blaster from Admiral Equare, and turned on her, but not without consequence… Winter was grazed in the side, and she fell to the ground in searing pain. She whispered to Estelle. “Here, take it. You finish it. I’m fine.” Winter’s armor came back to her. She just let it dissolve. Meanwhile, Elias led the wookies back over to where Shiloh was kept…

Aquare smirked. "Pitiful. I allowed you to survive back on Hoth for this?"

Estelle stared at Winter. Her eyes were so full of tears that she could barely see.

Kula's eyes narrowed as the group came over a hilltop. "Is that…"
