Mara Jade opened the hatchway into Princess Leia Organa's luxury cruiser. She signalled to the squad of stormtroopers to begin firing. The extravagant white walls were filled with the red glow of blaster fire and echoed shots.
There was a heavy footstep behind her and Jade turned to see Darth Vader walking towards her. She groaned, the last thing she wanted to deal with now was his High and Mighty Majesty of Permanent Bad Temper. The Sith was continuously moody, unforgiving, disrespectful, she hated being around him and that just happened to be where she was now. Stuck on a Star Destroyer, fighting a battle for her Master, the almighty, gracious Emperor of the wonderful Galactic Empire. Force, she wished this assignment was over.
"Lord Vader," she greeted.
"Jade, tear the ship apart until you find those plans. Any passengers, bring them to me, I want them alive!" Vader snarled, turning and stalking off.
Had Vader just spoken to her like that? Jade snarled under her breath, she'd give him a piece of her mind later, no one talked to her like that! But for now the mission took priority.
The squadron of stormtroopers found a prisoner. The young woman glared at Vader accusingly as he ordered Mara to take the brunette up to the star destroyer, Avenger. Garing at the sith, she quickly took the Princess to the detention area of the ship. Once she had locked the prisoner safely inside the cell, she quickly went to her holocom. Swiftly entering her Master's frequency, Mara dropped into a low bow.
"I bring you the outcome of the battle, Master," she said, not looking up.
"Rise, Agent Jade." Her Master said, "Please tell."
"We captured the Alderaan cruiser and took Princess Organa prisoner. We have searched the ship and the plans are not there. We will find them, Master."
"I'm sure you will, Jade. How can a few Rebels withstand my Empire?" the Emperor agreed.
"Lord Vader wishes us to search for the escape podlaunced during the capture, on the planet Tatooine."
"I want an update if anything else happens."
"Understood Master." Mara said, nodding.
"Dismissed," the Emperor said with a wave of his hand.
"Jade out," Mara said walking to the shuttle bay.
Sorry! I know it's short! This is really a link into the rest of the story. It will get more interesting, I promise!
