Eva in Space!
I do not own Lucas Arts, Evangelion, and any other registered trademark I may make mention of...so don't sue me.(that was to you George) I will add more chapters!
The gentle hum of the hyper drive was soothing to the smuggler. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. Soon he would be rid of the annoying old man and his brat, as soon as they reached Alderaan. Then he would have enough credits to get Jabba off his back and then some. Han Solo drifted off to sleep not knowing the next galactic standard day would throw his world upside down.
"Use the Force, search your feelings, Luke," Obi-Wan instructed his impromptu pupil. "you need not use your eyes, for they will deceive you"
Han snorted as he watched the annoying young man wave the glowing lightsaber around with all the grace of a blindfolded drunken Mexican after a pinata. He almost burst out laughing as the floating remote shot the struggling student repeatedly with it's low powered laser. Han's amusement was short lived though, as the chime that indicated they had reached Alderaan. He jumped up from his seat and headed to the cockpit.
Chewbacca was manning the controls when Han entered. He took his seat at the front and began pushing buttons and pulling levers. Which was all that was needed to get Luke excited. He liked the beeping noises and flashing lights. Obi-Wan pushed him into a seat before he did anything to harm the equipment and took a seat himself. "Alright, we are coming out of hyperspace," Han informed him, "hold on"
The Millennium Falcon shuddered a bit as she came out of hyperspace and glided along at sublight speed. The crew and passengers looked out at the planet they were approaching. "Are you sure that is Alderaan?" Obi-Wan queried. "Are you calling me a liar, old man," Han asked hostilely, "I said I'd get you to Alderaan and I did. I've made this run hundreds of times. If you don't believe me check the coordinates"
"Grrrrwwwwrrrrrrooooorrrrrr" Chewbacca said after examining the navicomputer. "What do you mean we aren't at Alderaan?" Han asked angrily,"If we aren't at Alderaan where are we"
"Grrwworr" Chewbacca answered flatly.
"So you mean to tell me we are way off any hyperspace routes into uncharted space and going into orbit around a class M planet that we happened upon by accident?" Chewbacca nodded, why does he have to repeat everything I say, the wookiee thought to himself.
"When did that happen?"he implored. He was answered by a shrug from the wookiee. Han then turned to Luke. "Luke did you play with the controls"
There was rarely a time when many thoughts went through the young Skywalker's head, and this was one of those times. He strained a bit with that much brain activity going on and was hard pressed to remember the night he had played with the shiny things. He had waited until the others had gone to sleep or were occupied and had went into the cockpit to play with the lights and beeping sounds that Han had told him not to touch. He had showed Han, he played with the bottons and made a lot of beeping sounds, but as always his short attention span won out and he went to play with R2-D2.
So, naturally, his answer was, "No." Obi-Wan gave him an odd look, he suspected the training jedi. His thoughts were cut short by the sudden burst of static on the subspace radio. They were picking up a transmission from the planet. Han turned the volume up and the static cleared. "The fate of destruction is also the joy of rebirth!" a voice cried enthusiastically.
Another voice, this one calm without the enthusiasm of the first, replied, "Death creates nothing"
"Your death, will create an opportunity," a third sinister sounding voice answered.
The transmission was suddenly cut off, leaving the spacefarers in an odd silence. "What the hell?" Han asked rhetorically. Chewbacca and Obi-Wan could only shrug in confusion. Luke meanwhile was happily clapping, he saw a new flashing light.
