Chapter 7
The pilots assembled next to their X-Wings and Y-Wings. They were ready to defend Rebel Alliance, even with their lives. There were about thirty ships present. Luke and Mara went and joined the rest of the crew. Luke took his favorite astromech droid R2-D2 and climbed into a cockpit of one of the X-Wings. Mara took one of R5 models and went to a Y-Wing. The speakers then announced:
-Death Star entered the System. You need to fly in the trench and fire in the ventilator shaft. That will cause the chain reaction and the Death Star will blow up.
Many pilots were saying that it would be kind of impossible to do but Luke was saying that he did not think it would be too hard. Mara was on his side.
-Do not worry Farmboy; we will get out of this fight alive. I can sense it.
-Good. Thanks Mara.
The ships soon lifted in the air and flew to their target: the Death Star. X-Wings went into attack mode and the attack force was ready for the fight.
-Red One standing by.
-Red Three standing by
-Red Twelve standing by
-Red Five standing by-said Luke.
The other ships continued to tell who was present and then the ships saw a large amount of Tie Fighters. The battle had begun. Both sides were firing. As soon as the battle had started, Red One and Gold Five got destroyed. One brave Y-Wing flew into the trench and went for the vent. The guns on the battle station shot it just before it travelled half of the distance to the vent.
At that time Governor Tarkin was watching the battle. One officer asked him:
-Shall I prepare your escape vessel?
-In the time of our triumph? No. It is the time we destroy the Rebels for good.
Lord Tano and two more officers joined her and went into Tie Fighters to join the battle. Obi Wan has already been transported into the Lambda vessel, which was flying at a safe distance from the battle. Two red imperial guards stood next to him, not letting him move. Ahsoka meanwhile sat in her Tie Advanced and joined the battle. She fired at a couple of ships and they got blown up. At that point in time, half of the Rebel attack force got destroyed.
Luke decided to try to get to the vent. He flew his ship. He was approaching the vent and successfully avoided the guns. Then he sensed through the Force Obi Wan talking to him:
-Luke, use the Force, let it guide you.
Luke disabled his commlink and other communication. Then he approached the vent. Tano was on his tail. She was ready to fire.
-I got you little Rebel pilot.
She felt the Force because Luke used it to guide him. Another thing she quickly experienced that two of her ships got blown up and her own Tie Advanced got hit. Tano lost control of her ship and it flew to the side, soon crashing on one planet. Luke got his visual.
-Fire and let's go kid-Han said.
Luke fired and both blasts went into went. His X-Wing, Millennium Falcon and the remaining Rebel ships flew back to the base. Luke split from the group and flew to the Lamda shuttle. He sensed his Master's presence there.
-Surrender-he sent the message to the crew- or you will be terminated
The ship surrendered and it flew to the base as well. The guards were put into prison and Obi Wan got rescued. One person in particular was more than happy to see Obi Wan, even more than Luke. It was Siri.
-Obi, how are you? –she shouted and jumped, hugging her old friend
-I am good for now Siri. I am glad that you survived the Jedi Purge. I thought you died in the beginning of the Purge by Darth Tano but it is good to see you here.
After that Obi Wan was greeted by his other friend Shaak Ti and by other members of Rebel leadership board.
-It is nice to meet you General Kenobi-said General Reikan.
-Thank for the rescue. It is pleasant for me to see that we won this battle. I think we need to start packing things because Empire will be here soon shortly.
-I strongly agree with you General Kenobi-said General.
Then Obi Wan saw Luke.
-Hello Luke, well done with blowing up with Death Star. It was impressive.
-Thanks Ben
-And you are famous Princess Leia?-he asked Leia-I heard so much about you from my captives. They don't like you because you stole their plans and helped in destroying their super weapon.
Then Obi Wan thanked Han for saving Luke's life and after that looked at the last person standing near him.
-And what is your name?-he asked Mara
-My name is Mara Jade and I was raised as an Imperial Hand.
-Have you always been an Imperial Hand?
-No, I was abducted from my mother at the age of five. I don't remember her. I only remember that she and Tano fought each other, with sith overpowering my mom. She was prepared to kill her but I saved my mom by promising that I would go with sith. It was surprising but sith let my mom go. After that I was raised by sith in Coruscant. I will tell my story later.
-That is interesting. It is rather curios to me that your Force signature is rather familiar to me. In fact I could say that I it seems very similar to my own and…. No that is impossible!
-What is it Obi Wan?-asked Luke
-I think Mara is my daughter.
At the crash site, Ahsoka quickly recovered. Force helped her to survive that problem and she was in perfect health. She contacted her Master.
-Anakin Skywalker listening. What is report Snips?
-The Death Star has blown apart. It was destroyed by the rebels. But I have better news. Even though the Rebels won that battle, the pilot who destroyed the Death Star had a very distinct Force signature and he used the Force to help him. Also, it was rather familiar to me and I think that he is little Skyguy.
-Well done, you got good news Snips. Find him and bring to me! It will be a bonus if you bring young traitor Mara as well.
