Star Wars: The Battle of the Lylat system
Prologue
"Darkness, it is the only word to describe what has come to be the new Galactic Empire. With Darth Sidious as Emperor and the Dark Lord Vader as his apprentice none dare oppose the Empire.
Although many Jedi had died during the execution of order 66, some still remain. Those left have gone into hiding, spread out across the galaxy. Vader has made it his personal duty to hunt and kill all of the remaining Jedi left in the galaxy, he feels them as the all great evil.
There is news now though of a new Jedi being located in the outer reaches of the Zi'Dek system, his name is Master Pann. The end may be near for the galaxy, and all of the systems that serve under the Empire."
-- -- -- --
All was silent, all of this planet was drenched in nothing but forest. If one looked at the planet of Zi'Dek from space, it would seem like a giant floating green ball. The only sound that could be heard were the noises of random creatures, some sounded close, some sounded very far. Then there was an odd sound. An out of the ordinary sound, the sound of a respirator.
His name was Darth Vader, the apprentice of the dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious. His frame was absolutely massive, standing at a near 7 feet taller and his armor putting him way over the 300 pound limit, one could do nothing but fear this thing.
He was clad in a dark leather body suit which covered him head to toe, his chest was lit with that of a box that seemed to keep everything in check. His breathing, life support, everything controlled by the small box on his chest. His belt also glowed with an intense green light, also providing some need to keep the wearer alive. His head was heavily armored, a helmet that look much like a German World War II helmet with a dark mask covered it, leaving no skin exposed. His long cape flowed ominously behind him as he traversed the dense jungles of Zi'Dek.
Vader turned, checking behind him constantly, fearing that the one he was hunting would come at him from behind like the coward Vader assumed he was.
"Where are you Jedi…" Vader said to himself and continued to walk through the forest, his boots making deep impressions in the soft ground. Vader stopped and spun, his red light saber shooting out of its hilt as Jedi Master Pann was discovered. Vader starred him down, his eyes seeming to burn straight into Pann's soul.
"Vader, why have you come here?" Pann said, extending his own light saber from his hilt, it was of course Jedi blue. Pann was thin and elegant, his Jedi robes brown and torn from his long stay on the planet of Zi'Dek. Pann had nothing but fear in his eyes which left Vader perplexed, Jedi's do not feel fear.
"You fear me Pann, why?" Vader said and began a brisk walk toward Pann.
"I do not fear you, you are a Sith, you are scum." Pann swung his light saber as did Vader, the swords of pure energy clashing with the sound of a fire. Vader towered over Pann, giving him a huge advantage.
"I can feel your fear Master Pann." Vader said and swung his saber in a baseball bat style motion. Pann ducked and spun around, trying for a low hit which was thwarted by Vader.
"Leave this place Vader, do not make me kill you." Pann said and suddenly Vader stopped and backed away.
"You can not win Pann, your powers are far to weak. Vader said and raised his hand. Pann reached for his throat and began to cough. Vader curved his fingers ever so slightly and Pann fell to his knees, dropping his light saber and clutching at his throat. Vader released him and used the force to bring Pann's Saber to him.
"A Jedi Master should not be this easily defeated. There must be something else here. I can sense it in you." Vader said and put his red saber to Pann's throat.
"Go ahead, strike me down Vader, it will be your own way of admitting defeat." Pann said and raised his chin, awaiting the final blow.
"There is something, something in the force. I sense it, there is another on this planet. Who is the other Master Jedi scum!" Vader yelled.
"I will not tell you anything." Pann yelled back and then Vader flinched, seeming as though he knew the answer.
"A son…" Vader said silently and Pann stood and attempted to run. Vader had none of it, he struck him down with a simple slice to the neck and saw the young teenage boy, cowering in fear in the bushes.
"And now you shall die as well…" Vader said and began to walk toward the young boy.
In blind panic the boy stood and ran as fast as he could, ignoring Vader's protests and the roar of the TIE fighters above his head, he just ran.
Vader ran after him, some how in his heavy and cumbersome suit he was able to keep up with the small teenage boy, making sure he did not escape when suddenly Vader lost track of him. The boy vanishing somehow into a lot of dense foliage until Vader heard it, the roar of an engine and the vibration of the ground. Vader growled as he looked up and saw a Jedi fighter swoop over his head and around the TIE fighters.
"Commander get my imperial shuttle down here and follow that Jedi fighter, I want the pilot alive!" Vader yelled and walked out into a small clearing to await his shuttle.

Over 3 light-years away, all was peaceful, there was one system that had so far remained untouched by the empire and so far had not even heard of them. The system was named the system of Corneria, home of legends and wars of extreme magnitude. Out in the middle of the system was a ship, it was roughly halve the size of a Star Destroyed but much more elegant in shape and design. The entire ship was white with the logo of a red fox with wings painted on the side, under the logo in green words red the name "Star Fox".
"Fox, just tell me where we are please? I mean are you even sure were still in Lylat?" said a blue human-like falcon, his feathers were blew and the outer rims of his eyes were red. He was dressed in the Team Starfox uniform, tan jacket with a green jumpsuit with the logo printed on his the left breast. His name was Falco, Falco Lombardi.
"Falco, go do something useful besides annoying me." the voice came from the front of the bride, the speaker was a red fox, dressed in the same uniform as the blue bird. The speaker's name was Fox McCloud, a legend in the Lylat system, and hero and idol to most having saved the planet of Corneria and for that matter the Lylat system on a few occasions. His piloting skills were off the charts, making him most likely one of the best fighter pilots in the galaxy. Fox was at the moment navigating them through the Lylat system, just coming off a mission to Macbeth.
"Your navigation skills annoy me." Falco said and walked out of the room, mumbling the whole way. On his way out he bumped shoulders with a beautiful vixen. Her fur was as blue as a clear sky, she wore a different uniform then the others on the team though, sporting a skin tight leather jumpsuit. She went by the name of Krystal, nothing more nothing less.
"She walked on to the bridge to find Fox hard at work navigating and piloting the ship, it was obvious that he was lost and annoyed from the fact that he was. Krystal walked over to him and sat down, he was still oblivious to her presence.
"Hello Fox." she whispered in is ear and he jumped. Krystal snickered.
"Ha-ha…" fox said and smiled at her.
"Hey, I thought it was funny." Krystal said through laughs.
"You would." Fox said and went back to hi work.
"What is that suppose to mean lover-boy." she said and laid her head on his shoulder. The tips of Fox's ears began to burn.
"Nothing at all." Krystal could hear the embarrassment in his voice. This only made her laugh more and then they were interrupted by Falco again.
"Fox! Dude our scanners just picked up a foreign object, it looks like some type of small fighter and there is a life form aboard, is it possible it could be one of the stragglers from Macbeth." Falco asked, only seriousness in his mind now.
"Could be, Give its course and we can dock it Falco." Fox said
"Okay love fox." Falco said and turned on his heel walking out of the room.

Vader stood at the window of his Star Destroyer, from here he could view a large portion of the universe, the window taking up at least a ten foot by 7 foot space.
Footsteps could be heard as someone approached from behind and spoke, "What is your will my master?" the one behind Vader was a teenage boy, codename Starkiller, is clothes ragged and torn, scars covered his arms but the force was of course very strong with him.
"My apprentice, I want you to track that Jedi fighter, find it and kill the boy. Do not return until the deed is done." Vader spoke with no emotion.
"It will be done, my master…." Starkiller walked out of the room, his footsteps fading until all that could be heard was the sound of Vader's respirator.
