Here's some more!!!

'Hello,' Yama said quietly, and amazingly he heard it.
'Hi! Who are you?! I'm Corran!' the young boy stated.
'Um, how do you know?' she replied.
'Huh?'
'How do you know your name?'
'Oh, it's tattooed on my wrist. See?!' Corran held up his left hand for her to inspect it. Indeed, the word 'Corran' was on his wrist. 'Let me see yours!' he whipped his arm down and grabbed her wrist.
The force of his strength toppled her over, but he caught her and stood her back up.
'Let's see, it says. . .Yama!' he said after a few minutes of staring at her right wrist.
'Yama!' she laughed. 'What kind of goofy name is that?!'
'Well, it's. . .yours,' Corran's face was puzzled by her laughter at her own name.
'Oh, ehem. . .um, sorry. So, how do we get out of here? I don't like this place at all!' Yama skipped to her quest.
'I dunno. How long have you been in here?' Corran said, looking around the room.
'Um. . .about three days?' Yama said.
'So I've been in here three days. . .' Corran said quietly.
'What was that?!' Yama said, straining to hear him.
'Nothing. Come on, we have to get out!' he took her by the wrist and led her to another corner of the room. 'Can you pick me up?'
'Um. . .sure," Yama said, uncertainty in her voice.
She grabbed Corran's legs and lifted with all of her might. To her advantage, her 'mistaken' powers actually worked! Lifting Corran was no problem! Corran pushed against a ceiling tile and it came loose. He dropped it down onto the bodies and told Yama to lift higher. She did, and he climbed into the ceiling and onto one of the rafters.
'Here,' he said, reaching his hand down for Yama. 'I can pull you up.'
'That's okay. I don't need it,' Yama said, backing up.
She ran toward the hole in the ceiling and jumped up into it with ease, landing on one of the nearby rafters as lightly as a feather.
'How did you do that?!' Corran said, eyes wide.
'How did you know that tile was loose, and that that thing on your arm was your name?!' Yama replied.
'I don't. . .I don't know. I just kind of, knew!'
'Me too, now come on!' Yama waved her hand at some beams high above them.
She jumped up to catch one of them and swung herself to straddle it.
'Can you get up here?' she said, not looking at him, but looking straight ahead at a hole in the brick wall.
'Okay,' Corran said, and jumped up to catch the rafter she was on. He pulled himself up and onto it behind her.
'It looks as if someone else escaped before we did. . .' Yama said quietly, knowing he'd hear it already.
'Or something, judging by the size of that hole!' Corran corrected her.
'Just follow me!'
'How do you know where we're going?!' Corran whispered as they traversed along the rafter.
'I just do! Now hurry up!'
They followed the beam until they reached the hole in the wall. Yama could immediately feel the outside air-as cold as ice-before they stepped into the hole. She kneeled down to walk through it, and came up on the other side. Corran followed her. She sniffed the air for enemies, a useful instinct. Nothing was in the air. Yama closed her eyes and felt of the land beneath her.
She opened her eyes,'Men with guns. We need to take the long way to get out.'
'I'm just following you. Please, though, don't get us killed,' Corran replied.
'I'm not if you'll shut up!' she closed her eyes again. 'This way!' she hissed, and walked to the end of the command center's rooftop.
'We need to jump over there?!' Corran interrupted before Yama could speak. With a glare from her, he added,'Sorry.'
Yama crouched don and got ready to jump. The muscles in her legs tightened, and she slitted her eyes, judging the gap. She jumped, and at the last moment grabbed Corran's waist and pulled him with her.
'Ahhhh!' he yelled until they hit the other rooftop.
They rolled to a halt, and Yama put her knee to his chest,'Shut up! You're the reason we're going to get killed!'
'I'm sorry! You shouldn't have pulled me with you! I can jump this far!' Corran replied, pouting.
'Get down! Someone's coming!' she said, and pulled him down onto the metal roof again.
As if on cue, about four guards came running out into the snowy abyss, searching for the lost mistakes. Yama motioned for Corran to follow her, and they traveled along the roof, scooting on their stomachs. Once they'd reached the end of the roof, the four guards were right below them. Yama looked for something to distract them with, and found a lightpole. While one of them wasn't looking, Yama flipped down-still hanging onto the roof-and threw both of the guard's pistols up to Corran. She swung back up without being noticed, and shook the guns from his hands.
'No! You don't get the guns! You could hurt someone! Maybe even you!' Yama said, hooking them on her tank top strap.
'How am I to defend myself then?!' Corran stood up on the roof.
Yama kicked his feet out from underneath him to get him back down on his stomach,'When I distract them, you run, kay?'
'No! We're in this together! I am not. . .'
'One, Two, Three! Jump and run!' Yama jumped off of the rooftop, shooting at the guards.
She took out two of them on her way down, and when she landed automatically started to dodge the lines of fire. She could see a very large but unactive Nicholi Tesla coil in the far left corner of the field, right where Corran was heading.
'Gate!' she yelled at him, and Corran immediately turned and headed for a large metal gate with two Ducati motorcycles.
Once Corran reached the bikes he stopped and waited in the shadows for Yama, who was still shooting at the very enduring guards. The guards had large grenades that went off at their will. Yama didn't want to get hit by them, so she did the only thing she could do in this situation: she shot the generators power switch on the Tesla coil. Immediately, it started to charge up and send out shocks, which took out the other two guards. She jumped and tumbled until she was safe, and she and Corran rode off through the metal gate together, staisfied with their escape.
