Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker piloted the Ch'uunthor gracefully into the
Unknown Regions with his former master Obi-Wan Kenobi. His thoughts
ventured off to his wife, Padme Amidala Skywalker who was with the Rebel
Alliance helping to defeat Palpatine who had destroyed the Republic and
created an Empire. His sensors suddenly flared signaling that there was
danger nearby. He looked through the view and to his horror, saw two TIE
fighter squadrons headed towards the ship. Over the com he announced, "Two
TIE squadrons coming in! Send a squadron of A-wings and X-wings to battle!"
to the bridge.
"Don't you think that is a little complicated?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Yes.but we need the A-wing's defenses and the X-wing's firepower."
"I see." Obi-Wan left the co-pilot's seat and ambled inside.
*~~*
"Decided where to go we have, Master Obi-Wan. Go to Earth we shall. Lives there an old friend does." Yoda spoke as Obi-Wan entered.
"Yes master. Where is it?"
"It isn't very far. In fact, it is right past the Chiss border, on the northwest." Mace said.
"Yes master." Obi-Wan bowed and left to inform his former padawan.
*~~*
It was mayhem at Theed Palace! Padme walked around inside the palace with Mon Mothma and twenty rebel troopers at her side. Luckily, she had ordered ten troopers to protect her home just before the second invasion had started.
"There are so many dead people." She nodded at Mon Mothma's point. Many people had died.
"Leader, I think we've found someone!" The commander pointed towards a trooper holding a woman's lifeless body.
Padme and Mon Mothma raced to the body. Padme kneeled and signaled the rebel to leave before turning the body. As she turned the body, to her horror, she saw Queen Jamillia!
"NO! It can't be! Not her! Not the queen!" Padme sobbed and buried her face on the Queens robes.
"You can't save the dead, Padme. What's happened has happened. You can't change it. Let us go home and check on your parents."
Padme slowly got up, nodded, wiped the tears and followed Mothma to her house.
*~~*
Anakin turned and saw Obi-Wan coming. "Good you're here, Obi-Wan. These pilots don't know how to fight!" he pointed, then added, "I'm going out there."
Obi-Wan nodded and watched as Anakin ran towards the bridge before relaxing in the co-pilot's seat.
*~~*
Anakin locked his X-wing's S-foils into attack position and entered the battle.
"A-wings, do not fire. I repeat, do not fire."
"Acknowledged leader." The A-wing leader's voice came over the communication channel.
"Only defend the X-wings. Do not go on the offensive." Anakin commanded.
"Understood leader." All the A-wing pilots acknowledged.
"Good!" he muttered to himself, grinning and started firing at the TIEs with an A-wing as his defense.
As soon as the TIE fighters had all gone down, a Star Destroyer showed itself and used the tractor beam to haul the Ch'uunthor inside.
"Fire at the Star Destroyer's tractor beam!" Anakin demanded hurriedly. He had to do something. He fired desperately at the yellowish beam that was pulling the rebel ship inside.
"Leader, what do we do?" a puzzled pilot asked.
"Keep firing!" Anakin barked.
Suddenly the Ch'uunthor stopped. It wouldn't move towards the Star Destroyer.
"You're free Ch'uunthor! Run away!" Anakin commanded.
"Acknowledged." Obi-Wan's voice sounded.
Anakin let out a sigh of relief. He flew back towards the ship's bridge to dock.
"Welcome back.Leader." Obi-Wan smiled as Anakin got off the X-wing and came towards him.
Anakin grinned and faked a punch at Obi-Wan.
*~~*
As the Ch'uunthor neared Earth, fifteen never-before-seen-fighters appeared out of nowhere. "Explain yourself!" a voice boomed over the comm.
"We are headed for.-" Anakin was cut off by Obi-Wan, "Earth."
"Access denied."
"On whose order is the access denied?" Anakin scowled.
"Grand Admiral Thrawn of the Empire ordered us."
He gulped. Grand Admiral meant a very high military post.
"Respond to us, Ch'uunthor!"
Anakin didn't respond and suddenly the fighter started firing at the Ch'uunthor. He gritted his teeth and flew the ship right between the fighters despite Obi-Wan's yells. In a moment, there was a huge flash and he was blinded for ten minutes before he felt himself flying.
