A/N I am so sorry for not updating for forever. I've been sick and really busy with my school's musical for two weeks. That and I was feeling extremely lazy.

CHAPTER 10-THE DEATH STAR MEETS ITS DEATH

Once arriving on Yavin IV, Galen, Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, and Juno were treated like heroes for bringing both R2 and Leia back safely.

Leia was given many sympathies for her lost father, but she kept moving forward and immediately went to the conference room to prepare for the briefing ahead.

Luke found Wedge Antilles, and the pair sauntered off to discuss old times.

Han and Chewie prepared to leave after finding their reward.

Galen decided he needed to call Master Kenobi and tell him what was going on.

"Master Kenobi, I'm sorry for calling, but I wanted to inform you that we rescued Princess Leia and are on Yavin IV," he paused, hoping Obi-Wan would know that's where the rebel base was, "We were hoping you'd join us here."

"I think I shall, both you and Luke need to be trained more, and nothing holds me here any longer," replied the aged Jedi.

Later in the briefing room…

"We believe that if a proton torpedo is launched into this hole," the man pointed to a 3D diagram of the Death Star as Luke and other pilots looked in, eager for the mission ahead, "then the Death Star will be destroyed. If you fly in either an X-Wing or a Y-Wing than you won't be detected as well by the sensors. May the Force be with you."

Afterwards, Juno confronted Galen, "I'm going."

Galen thought about begging but knew it would do no good, so he only offered his advice, "Be careful; I don't think I could lose you." Juno kissed him quickly before running off to prepare.

Soon, the fighters were leaving and Galen was in the control room of the base with Leia and 3PO. "Don't worry," he reassured the young princess, "all will be well."

She looked up and seemed to find reassurance in his eyes. "Alright, let's begin."

Meanwhile…

Luke was trying to calm his nerves as he looked out of his X-Wing's cockpit and into deep space. R2-D2 was flying with him, and that droid definitely knew how to survive, judging by the amount of rust he'd had on him. When it has his turn to call in he said, "Red five, standing by."

Then, all chaos broke lose.

Soon, all that mattered in the world were Luke and his two wingmen, well one was a woman (A/N Sorry Biggs), considering Juno was covering him with Wedge.

Luke could his comrades' ships being turned into ash that would soon float in space as well as the TIE fighters being destroyed, but he knew that he had to focus.

Everything moved so quickly and soon he was preparing himself to take the shot, the shot that do away with the Death Star.

"You can do it, Kid," said a voice in his ear.

Han!

"I thought you left," replied Luke, majorly surprised.

"Forgot my reward," commented the smuggler.

A stubborn TIE fighter was constantly shooting at him, and Juno and Wedge were doing there best to keep it at bay, but they couldn't hold on forever.

He was getting closer.

Use the Force, Luke

Luke heard Ben's words in his ear, even though the man himself was probably on his way to Yavin right then. He took off his sights and prepared to do it the old fashioned way.

"Is everything okay?" called mission control.

"Yeah, everything's fine," replied the young man.

He leveled his shot and took it.

The two proton torpedoes flew in, and the entire Death Star exploded, almost taking Juno, Wedge, Han and Luke with it.

And somehow, through all of the excitement, Luke made it back to base, where he was met with great praise.

Later, there was an award ceremony. Luke, Han, and Chewie were all given medals to commemorate their courage.

That night, there was no end to the celebration on Yavin IV, a time of happiness before the real war came.

A/N Not much Galen/Juno, and not much in general. I couldn't really describe the destroying of the Death Star well, but I think I did okay. But it doesn't matter I think; it matters what you think. Review!
