Chapter X: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
"Indiana Jones? What the. . . ."
No one could believe it. The Earth human known as Dr. Henry Jones Jr. was standing right there in front of them. For the ones who knew about him, it was a shock. For the ones who had never heard of him (Like the ewoks; They had no childhood), it was more on the lines of strange.
The first one to walk up to him was Han. He paced towards him quite quickly, until they were right in front of one another. the first one to speak was Han.
"Do I. . . know you?"
Indy just stared at him for a second. "You do look sort of familliar. . ."
With that, indy stormed up to Lucas, looking angry.
"Ahh, Indiana Jones. My OTHER most successful franchise. . . The one that I SHOULD'VE CGI'd when Rick told me to."
"Save the crap, george. You know why I'm here.!" Indy shouted. His left hand was gripping his whip now, ready to lash it out at any moment.
"Let me guess. . . Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, right?"
The mere mention of that movie name made Indy cringe. "Listen Lucas. I've heard all about how you were planning on destroying the Star Wars movies with CGI for the Blu ray release, and I just can't let that happen." he said, still gripping his whip.
When Indy said that, George formed a sly smile on his face, as if he was planning something.
"Well, Indy. . . Han. . . " he looked among the large group carrying lightsabers, blasters, spears, and other weapons. "Since you all seem soooo interested in getting your precious original versions back, I'll be willing to cooperate. . . . on ONE condition."
Everyone in the group that could gasp did. Was lucas really letting them up so easily? It seemed unreal.
"Well. . . what's the one condition?" Asked Anakin, who was now standing behind Han.
Lucas's evil grin only widened. "The condition . . . is to GET DOWN TO THE GROUND NOW!"
As soon as he hit the word "get", he did the unthinkable: he grabbed a thermal detonator from benieth his desk, and stood on the wooden surface. This caused panic amongst the group. Everyone who had a weapon dropped it, and everyone who had a lightsaber turned it off and dropped it as well. At first, Boba Fett was the only one who stood standing, being as badass as he was.
"You don't have the guts to do that, George!" Boba shouted. He cocked his blaster and then aimed it at the detonator. He was sure that he could take it out.
"Not so fast, Boba! This is no ordinary thermal detonator". he said looking at it at the same time. "This is a specially build detonator, that if pressed, will annihilate everything within a 100 mile radius! So don't even think about trying, Fett!" George yelled. Boba still had his blaster aimed at the detonator, but eventually he stood down as well. Once he did that, Lucas turned to everyone else.
"Now, listen up! You won't stop me from doing what i want to the Star Wars movies! I can CGI the hell out of them if I wanted to!"
No one could believe it. "You're insane, George! You've done enough damage to us already! Give it the hell up!", shouted Wedge near the back of the group.
Lucas's smile intensified. his eyes seemed to be drilling a hole into all of them. "Now before anyone tries anything, I'll explain my plan. First off, in A New Hope, I plan to have Jar Jar Binks blow up the Death Star instead of Luke Skywalker."
"You monster!" shouted a random stormtrooper.
Lucas continued. "Secondly, I'm going to replace Marion with Willie Scott in Raiders of the Lost Ark, and replace Indy's dad with Mutt Williams in the last Crusade."
That's when Indiana Jones broke. He grabbed his whip, his gun, and aimed them both directly at George's head. "That's the last damn straw, old man! I will NOT put up with Willie's crap in Raiders of all places! And I would rather KILL Mutt than hang out with my dad one last time!"
With that, Indi cocked his pistol and aimed it at Lucas's head. His whip was held high in the air, and was just finishing building up the energy to strike at him.
But then, it happened. When Indy finished that last sentence, he heard a soft "click" sound. he looked down, and saw that George had just pressed the button on the thermal detonator that would make it explode. In digital numbers, it began counting down from 30 seconds. Indy then stepped off of his desk, and watched in horror as the detonator hit the 25 second mark.
Silence. That's what was in the room now. No one could speak. They could all barely breathe. All seemed lost. then Han broke the silence.
"You're insane, George! You'll be destroyed too!"
Lucas's smile began to fade. "I know, Solo. I know I'll die too. But think of this; At least I'll die along with that blasted original trilogy! With me gone, no one will have the right to restore the unaltered films again! So you're all doomed for all I care! Hahahahah!"
then the thermal detonator hit the 10 second mark.
