Chapter Five: And Your Facade Comes Crashing Down

In which the mission to Alderaan goes horribly wrong, and Ben, Leia and the droids have to escape.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Author's Notes: Let's say that in terms of changing things back to Ar-Too -- it was originally going to be an astromech OC, but then I kind of remembered Ar-Too serving with Padme during the Clone Wars, and I decided to change it. (Yes, I recognize how strange that sounds, but let's say that I have a bit of a habit of being a bit forgetful at times. My mom suggested that I do an outline so I'm less so. She's been really supportive and really helpful in my writing, bless her. :)

Anyway, this was another favorite to write in terms of the heavy action and all. Even if the technobabble sort of tripped me up (I think it's remembering specific terms for things and making sure you've got the right one that's a bit intimidating. Yeah I know.) Hope you like it!

( One thing that Ben knew was that in a way, their deception of the Empire would not be able to last forever. )
