If Star Wars can do prequels to the movies, so can I right? Here's the prequel to Confessions of a Pilot Mechanic and the Tale of the Force Sensitive and I hope you all enjoy.
Summary A trip to Hoth goes wrong as Kelsey Solo gets stranded on a planet where an Imperial base is stationed. A rescue mission is enforced to get her back, will Kelsey survive and can a man in training to become a jedi rescue her in time?
Pairing Luke/OC implied
Just a few things before we start
*Kelsey doesn't know about her powers in this story.
*Even though it takes place a year after ANH and before ESB, it'll have references from some of the movies but not all.
*Kelsey's back story was told in Confessions, but we'll hear Han's side of the story in this.
We'll continue on now. See you guys at the bottom!
Disclaimer I wish I owned Star Wars but I don't. I do own Kelsey though.
Chapter 1
Kelsey
Planet Takodana
"Nope."
"What do you mean no? You only got the part I need and you can't take the offer?" I asked.
"Sorry, I only ask for what I price. Nothing less," the shop keeper said in his thick accent.
I took a deep breath as I pushed some of my hair out of my face. Of course the only time I'm able to be on this planet to pick up a part for a ship I couldn't even get through a negotiation for the damn price.
"Look. I'm supposed to be going to another part of the galaxy and I need this part for a ship there. If I don't get this, then the person who owns that ship will not only go after me but you as well," I said. "I'll offer a different price, much higher."
"How much?"
I took out my remaining money and placed it on the counter.
"Final offer," I replied. "Take it or leave it."
The shop keeper grunted as he took the money and gave me the part. I nodded my head as I stood up from my chair. Thank the heavens I got it for Han.
Then again, he does owe me.
I left the palace, placing the part in my bag and hastily made my way back towards the ship. There were only a few stragglers mingling outside and not bothering to pay attention to me. The sun was out but it wasn't too hot since all I was wearing was a light blue shirt, my brown pants which were rolled up to my knees and my black boots which only went up near mid calf.
You would think that with the planet being as it is, there wasn't a war going on right now and you would be wrong at that with the way the galaxy is going. Then again, it was better that way considering the Galactic War that was happening between the Empire and the Rebellion.
As far as to my knowledge, I've been in different systems away from the war but even there I would see storm troopers on some planets and basically just watch out. You never know what might happen.
I made it to my ship in one piece. I climbed in and hit a few buttons on my comlink before I heard an all to familiar growl coming from a Wookie.
"Hi Chewie," I said.
Chewie let out a few happy growls as I supressed a grin.
"I miss you guys too. I hope Han isn't causing too much trouble," I said.
He let out a bark before another voice popped in. "Chewie I thought you had fixed that wire awhile ago now look at it."
"Oh Han don't be mean to him," I said.
"Kels, is that you?" Han's voice rang happily.
"Yes brother dear who else would it be?" I asked, rolling my eyes.
"Very funny. How are you doing?"
"Could be better though you two should be thanking me." I replied knowingly.
"You got the part to help fix the hyperdrive?"
"Yep and believe me traveling to four different plants wasn't easy," I said.
I heard Chewie growl something at Han which I couldn't make out well. I crouched down in my seat as I stared out the window from the inside of my ship. My ship is an old Y-Wing that I managed to fix up while I was back home. Though the windows on top of the open cockpit was unsalvagable, I still managed to get the windows in front of me clean so I can see where I'm flying.
"I'm glad you got it," Han's voice rang. "You're still flying out here to deliver it?"
"Yep that's the plan still. You don't suppose the Alliance wouldn't mind a stranger stopping by Hoth? I mean, I know you guys have been in secret or whatever," I said.
"Sis don't worry. I had it cleared with them since Your Worshipness needed a bit of convincing," he said.
Chewie barked something in the background.
"I do not. And no I don't like her," Han snapped at Chewie.
Oh he so does from what I was told thanks to Chewie. But I decided to keep that to myself at least for now anyway.
"Hey leave the Wookie alone," I said, cracking a smile. "I should see you guys in a few days top."
"Alright and be careful will you?"
"Oh Han don't doubt me. Besides I don't get in trouble, they find me," I said.
I heard the last few barks from Chewie before I shut my comlink off. I started up my ship and took off into space.
-LINE BREAK-
It didn't take me that long to fly out into space soon after. I put in the coordinates soon after I took off and flew.
As I concentrated on the view in front of me, I was starting to get nervous. Yes I know I haven't seen Han and Chewie in a while, but I was going to be in front of Rebel Alliance personnel and I wasn't sure what to do.
I was beyond thankful I was going there knowing two people at least.
My console was going off snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked over and I saw the engine was trying to keep going as it kept stopping on and off.
I could've sworn I fixed that.
I pressed a few buttons as I turned the jet towards a planet that was nearby. It started to slow down as I got closer to the planet. I held on to the controls in front of me as I entered the planet.
All I saw was green and sand like ground as I came closer.
"No, no, hold on," I said as I tried to maintain control of the ship when it decided to pick up more speed.
The ship then crashed slightly on the ground as I saw tree branches in my view. It then landed in the middle of the woods. I was catching my breath as I sat in my seat in shock.
What the hell happened?
I opened up the cockpit above me as I climbed out of my seat. All I saw was trees and sand. There was no one in sight.
"Over here!" a man's voice rang out.
I quickly grabbed my blaster and bag and jumped out of the Y-Wing and ran towards a dead log nearby. I ducked as low as I can go as two voices came closer.
"This is what crashed?" the first man's voice asked.
"Yep but it doesn't look like no one's in there," the second man replied.
I peaked out from my spot and saw two storm troopers inspecting my ship. I held on to my breath as if I refused to move from my spot.
"Look footprints," the first man said. "We should go check it out."
"Let's report to the Commander first. For all we know, a rebel must've crashed here and took off," the second man replied.
They think I'm a rebel? What in the hell?
I remained quiet until they left. I looked over and saw that they were gone. I got up from my spot and rushed over towards the control panel in the ship. I pressed a few buttons in hoping that it would work.
I didn't understand how the engine went wrong. I double checked everything before I left Takodona and it shouldn't have been not working in the first place. I reached over for my comlink and thanked the heavens above it worked.
I pressed a few buttons as I ran back to my hiding spot. I lied down on the ground as I was catching my breath before recording the message in hoping it would reach out to wherever the Rebellion was located on Hoth somewhere in the galaxy and they would send help.
Before I get caught.
A/n Tada! A start to an adventure for her. Also not I'm not good with controls of the Y-Wing and if I mess it up, just let me know and I can always go back to fix it.
Anyways, welcome all! If you've followed me on my past two stories, welcome back! To those new, welcome! If you haven't caught then you can if you want. This is a prequel which will tie with the two stories so if you want to read them in order, you're more than welcome to.
I hope you all stick by me as we go on this journey. For now this story will be around 12-13 chapters pending. Also Kelsey and Luke won't meet until chapter 5-6.
Leave me some love on the way out! I do take tips and criticism so don't be shy I won't bite ) thank you for sticking with me on this crazy journey!
Until next time,
Spike
