I DO NOT OWN STAR WARS.
Chapter 6
"It's a spacestation," Obi Wan said gravely.
"It's too big to be a space station," Han told Obi-Wan.
Ahsoka was now staring at it, gazing upon it wariness, "No. I think Master Kenobi is right." The ship approaching it fast, as it appeared bigger, and bigger, and bigger.
Luke could now sense its danger through the Force, "I have a very bad feeling about this."
Now the Jedi Master was commanding the captain, "Turn the ship around."
"Yeah. I think you're right. Full reverse! Chewie, lock in the auxiliary power," Han was trying to turn around, but it wasn't working, "Chewie, lock in the auxiliary power!"
The ship was now getting jerky and moving forward. "Why are we still moving towards it?" Luke asked, almost screaming.
"We're caught in the tractor beam. It's pulling us in!" Han shouted back at Luke.
"But there's gotta be something you can do!"
"There's nothin' I can do about it, kid. I'm in full power. I'm going to have to shut down. Bu they're not going to get me without a fight!" Han started shutting down everything and the ship started to be less jerky. Chewbacca started growling wildly.
"You can't win. But there are alternatives to fighting," Obi-Wan told Han.
Han just ignored him. Han would rather fight then do anything else. The doors of the hanger on the spacestation started to lift open, and the Millennium Falcon was being pulled right into that hanger.
"Okay, everyone follow me! I got a plan," Han announced. Everyone followed him into a hallway on the ship, and he opened up some compartments for them all to climb into. Han and Luke went into the first one, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan in another, and the droids and Chewbacca in the last ones.
Once they were inside the compartments, they felt the ship land its self into the hanger. Stormtroopers immediately searched the ship, but luckily found nothing on board. Once they heard all the troopers leave, they all lifted up the lids of the storage compartments.
"Boy, it's lucky you had these compartments," remarked Luke.
Han told Luke, "I use them for smuggling. I never thought I'd be myself in 'em. This is ridiculous. Even if I could take off, I'd never get past the tractor beam."
"Leave that to me," Obi-Wan said as he pulled himself up onto the edge, helping Ahsoka up.
"Damn fool. I knew you were going to say that!" Han said as he rolled his eyes.
"Who's more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?" Obi-Wan asked who ever was listening. Han just shocked his head at him.
"Someone is coming!" Ahsoka announced. Everyone looked at the ship's entrance and heard footsteps. They all backed up around the corner and watched as two men in imperial uniforms came on board with a large box. Ahsoka waved her hand using the force to make them fall over unconscious.
"Good move, Ahsoka," Obi-Wan complemented Ahsoka. She smiled back at him in thanks.
"I've got a plan," she said, "We got to get into the control room right? Find out where the tractor beam is? Well, call those troopers up."
Han shouted down, "Hey down there, can you give us a hand with this?" Two stormtroopers came up and then Han used his blaster and shot each one in the chest.
"I could have done that in a more peaceful way," Ahsoka sneered at Han.
"Now, what fun is that?" Han smiled big and suspicious like.
Ahsoka just shook her head, "Now, Han, Luke, put their armor on," Ahsoka commanded. The two men put on the armor and Ahsoka was revising her plan in her head. Once they were done they asked what to do next.
"Now Luke, go out there and knock on your helmet a few times. They Imps will think you need a new transmitter or something. While the Imps are not watching and going down to Luke, Han and Chewie go up to the controls and knock 'em out of there. Obi-Wan and I will camouflage with the Force and then the droids will follow. How about that? Good plan?"
"Nice plan, I have complete confidence it will work," Obi-Wan reassured her. Both of the boys started to but on the white stormtrooper armor. Then, Luke started down the ramp in uniform, as Ahsoka instructed him to do. Han and Chewie then snuck out. Obi-Wan and Ahsoka crept out after them, but they were invisible. They used to the Force to camouflage themselves. Right when the door opened into the control room, Han started to blast at the imperials. When Luke reached the room, Luke used the controls by the door to shut the door and then took off his helmet, ready to yell at Han.
"You know, between his howling and your blasting it's a wonder the whole station doesn't know we're here!" Luke yelled at Han and pointing at Chewie because of his loud Wookie growling.
"Bring them on! I prefer a straight up fight to all this sneaking around," Han yelled right back at them.
"Quit it you two! The station will find out soon we are here if you two don't stop screaming!" Ahsoka added to the fight.
"Now, you stay out of this-," Han started to yell again but was cut off by 3PO.
"We found a computer outlet, sir," the droid said to Obi-Wan, "R2 says he's found the main control to power beam that's holding the ship here. He'll try to make the precise location appear on the monitor," they all waited a few moments, staring at the screen waiting for something to pop up. 3PO continued, "The tractor beam is coupled to the main reactor in seven locations. A power loss at two of the terminals will allow the ship to leave." Obi-Wan studied the data carefully.
"Ahsoka and I will go and each knock out a terminal. I don't think you boys can help," Obi-Wan said.
Han didn't seem to mind, he just sat back in his chair, "Whatever you say, I've done more then I bargained for on this trip already.
However, Luke thought differently, "I want to go with you guys."
"Be patient, Luke. Stay here and watch over the droids," Obi-Wan motioned his head to the droids, still by the computers.
"But he can," Luke whined pointing towards Han.
"They must be delivered safely or other star systems will suffer the same fate as Alderaan. Your destiny lies along a different path than mine and Ahsoka's. The Force will be with you always," Obi-Wan argued. His point was much stronger than Luke's. So Luke knew he had no chance at winning. With that, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan ran down the gray hall. After a few yards away from the door, Obi-Wan stopped her.
"Now Ahsoka, you go deactivate the one on the east side, and I will deactivate the one on the west side," Ahsoka nodded at Obi-Wan's commands, she was about to start walking again, but Obi-Wan pulled her back again. "Listen to me very carefully. Darth Vader is here. If you run into him, run. Do not fight. Run. He is very skilled with a lightsaber. Also, do not be tempted by him. Everything a Sith Lord says is a lie, remember that."
Ahsoka nodded her head wondering how Obi-Wan know how skilled Vader is, "I will master, I promise."
Obi-Wan said, "May the Force be with you, Ahsoka," and he ran off.
"May to Force be with you too, Master Obi-Wan," Ahsoka called after him. She watched as her master ran down the hall. When he was gone, she ran down the opposite hall, looking for that tractor beam.
Ahsoka used the Force to help guide her to the east terminal. It seemed like ages to her, sneaking around troopers, opening doors, knocking out security cameras. She was have a quite bit of fun though. The most fun she has had in nineteen years. It brought her back to her youth when she was fourteen years old.
Once she found the terminal, she crept inside and shut the door on both sides; there was no lock on them so she had to move fast. She went along the edge of the platform to the back of the generator, looking at all the possible controls and flashing lights. The path along it was very narrow, so she had to be extra careful. She found a large level and pulled it down, as she did that the whole machine itself made a low humming noise. Then she pulled on a smaller switch and watched the color on the monitor along with the flashing lights disappear. Once the monitor fully indicated it was all shut down, she got back onto the safe platform and went out the door.
When she was walking down the hall to catch up with the others, she noticed that the hallways were quieter than normal and not to mention, there was a weird feeling in the Force, a dark feeling. Ahsoka just continued to walk, until she heard mechanic breathing. She looked around the corner and saw a man all in black uniform. He had a helmet and cape too, but what really caught Ahsoka's attention was that clipped to his belt he had a lightsaber.
"Ahsoka Tano. I wasn't expecting to see you here. You came with Obi-Wan Kenobi, no doubt," the machine man said as he took steps towards her and hand over his lightsaber.
"How do you know my name?" Ahsoka shouted back at Vader. Vader just laughed though.
"It's funny how people can forget their friends and masters so easily," Vader said, probably smiling under his mask. Before Ahsoka could run, Vader ignited his red lightsaber.
Disobeying Obi-Wan, Ahsoka chose to take out her lightsabers too. Acting like a fourteen year old Jedi, she made the first move. She lurched right at him, and Darth Vader easily blocked her lightsabers. The red lightsaber and the yellow and green lightsabers were clashing against each other now, violently. Ahsoka was running out of breath. Obi-Wan was right, she thought, Vader is way to elite for me. However, Ahsoka continued to fight Vader in the middle of the open hallway. Ahsoka had to get out of there. The feeling of disobeying Obi-Wan felt wrong. Before she got the chance to run though, Vader threw his whole weight forward through his lightsaber, making Ahsoka fall back onto her butt. The Sith Lord but his red lightsaber near her throat.
"You disappoint me, Ahsoka," Vader laughed evilly through his mechanical breathing. Ahsoka just sat back watching the red light. "Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your master."
"He told me enough! He told me you killed him!" Ahsoka shouted back, growing angry at Vader.
"No. I am your master."
Ahsoka was shocked. How could that be true? She trusted Master Kenobi to tell her the truth about Master Skywalker. "No. No. That's not true! That's impossible. Master Kenobi would have told me the truth. I believe him and he tells me that sith are only full of lies!" Ahsoka was still shouting, growing more and angrier, but she wasn't going to use that anger she kept telling herself.
"Search your feelings; you know it to be true." Vader said still looking down at Ahsoka, "Join me and we can rule the galaxy together! I always knew you were very powerful and we would make a great team."
Ahsoka still didn't believe Vader, she never would. She grabbed her two lightsabers, trying to make it not noticeable to Vader, since the end of his lightsaber was still a foot away from her throat. She looked at Vader then up towards a ceiling. There was a ventilation shaft. She thought that would be a perfect escape route, but then remembered she wasn't fourteen anymore. However, it was worth a shot.
She used the force to push the cover straight off and then used the Force to jump right into it. It was a tight fit, but she managed. She crawled as fast as she could, hoping for any sign of the others. Once she felt it was a safe enough distance from Vader she used her comlink.
"Luke, come in Luke," Ahsoka said pleadingly.
"Ahsoka! Where are you?" Responded Luke
"Uhh… I'm up in a ventilation shaft. Where are you all?" she said back to Luke.
"Right across from the ship,"
"Okay, I think I might be right above from you. Stand by." Ahsoka crawled forward a little bit; looking down from one of the openings of the cover to make sure her position was correct. She pushed it down and jumped right out near Luke, Han, Chewie, and some girl who looked similar to the girl in the message R2 delivered.
"Nice of you to join us," Han told Ahsoka, "You got that tractor beam out of commission?"
"Sure did," Ahsoka replied, "How are we going to get to the ship?"
"That I-," Han was cut off by the girl.
"Look!" she pointed out as all the stormtroopers guarding the Millennium Falcon left.
"Now's our chance, Go!" Han commanded. Luke, Han, Chewie, Ahsoka and the unknown girl, ran towards the ship. The droids were running towards the ship to from the opposite direction.
However, Luke stopped realizing why the troopers left, "Ben?" He watched as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader dueled. Luke ran over more towards them to try and get a better view. Ahsoka tried to call after him to get on board, but Luke wouldn't listen. Ahsoka ran over to Luke to pull him back if she had to. Obi-Wan then noticed Luke and Ahsoka eyeing him. There was a long pause of nothing, until the great Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, who had a seat in the high Jedi Council, a general and hero in the Clone Wars, and a famous negotiator raised his lightsaber up to his face, giving up and facing death. Darth Vader slashed right at Obi-Wan.
"No!" Luke screamed across the hanger. Ahsoka stared in disbelief, why did Obi-Wan do that? He had a great chance at winning the duel. What really puzzled Ashoka was that how did his body vanished. Only his robes and lightsaber was left. She notice Vader was confused too. He stepped on the ropes, inspecting them. Ahsoka didn't have enough time to watch anymore, since the stormtroopers were starting to fire at them.
Everyone started to fire back at them and Ahsoka deflected the shots with her lightsabers, "Come on!" Han shouted angrily at Luke as he continued to stay and fight. Ahsoka was working her way back to the ship wanting Luke to come too.
The princess shouted at Luke too, "Come on! Luke, it's too late"
"Blast the door, kid!" Han continued to shout. Right when Luke shot the door, Darth Vader turned around with his lightsaber still ignited and more storm troopers behind him. Before he could get into the hanger though, the doors were shut. Luke then ran back on bored with the others, ready for takeoff
Ahsoka went up the front of the ship with Han and Chewie, "I hope that old man got that tractor beam out of commission or this is gonna be a real short trip. Okay, hit it!" Han said.
"I got mine, and he got his," Ahsoka told Han. Ahsoka knew Obi-Wan got his, she could sense it through the Force. The engines ignited and the ship lifted up the ground. It slowly backed up, but then turned around and Han punched it out into space.
Okay, so that's where I'm going to end it for today. Remember to review! Also, thanks to all the people who added this story to their favorite list. I really do appreciate it!
