Author's note: Now, perspectives will be combined, because all of the action isn't focused on one or two things anymore. So there will be cliffhangers as my tale draws to a close.
On the Millennium Falcon, things were tense. Nobody really wanted to talk as they were too busy preparing.
"Do you think there'll still be guards on the Death Star?" Lissanna broke the silence.
"Yes, Luke wouldn't let himself go completely unguarded." Leia answered.
"Such as Squadrons go," Yoda said, taking command. "Han Solo going with Chewbacca and Queen Leia."
Han squeezed Leia's hand as they whispered some plans.
"Senator Padme is to be leading the second squadron." Yoda pointed his light saber at Jar Jar and then at Lissanna. "Accompany her you two will."
"Okay." Lissanna said, a little hesitantly.
"OOO, Meesa ready for battle."
"R2D2 and C3PO follow Alex." Yoda added, "Shutting down the main power I will be."
"No, Master Yoda, I'm coming with you." Alex said. Yoda started to protest. "It's the job of a Jedi to see that everybody has help." He got down and looked Yoda in the eye. "You taught me that, Master Yoda."
"Very well." Yoda sighed, "Joining squadron three I will be."
Chewbacca pulled the Millennium Falcon to the first docking port.
Padme lead Lissanna and Jar Jar out of the falcon. Lissanna stayed for a minute to kiss Alex Goodbye.
Padme lead the other two down a long hallway. She kept in the lead. "Laser Guns out." She whispered. On that command, Lissanna and Jar Jar both armed laser guns.
"What about Light Sabers?" She asked.
"Keep it until we actually need it." Padme insisted, smoothing out some of her hair.
Just then, several hundred battle droids filled the hallway.
"Scatter." Padme shouted.
The three of them split up. Padme was an excellent shot at firing at the droids. She was too quick in firing the lasers, in fact, she was able to save Lissanna and Jar Jar a couple of times.
Lissanna, tired of aiming, armed her light saber. She executed a move that Alex taught her in which she spun light a tornado. She was able to cut down on the number of droids that were coming up on her.
Jar Jar was able to run while firing. He ran down the hallway, trying to get as much space between himself and the battle droids. It seemed as though he was getting great distance when he smacked into something.
"OOO, Meesa ran into a wall." Jar Jar looked up and saw Darth Maul's face. He screamed and ran back down the hallway. "OOO, Darth Maul is coming." He warned Lissanna and Padme.
Lissanna was finishing off some droids near her when she heard this. After killing the last droid, she tied her hair into a ponytail. "Bring it on." She said, looking in the direction that Darth Maul was approaching.
Padme also had time to prepare. She twirled her laser gun and anticipated the coming of Darth Maul.
He entered the room, looking all ominous. "Well, let's get this party started."
"Crap." Lissanna muttered as she grabbed up her Light Saber. "I just hope Alex is having an easier time."
Of course, by that time, Alex hadn't left the Millennium Falcon. He was driving it as Chewie, Han and Leia got off.
"I can't do this, Han." Leia said as she watched the Millennium Falcon drive away. "I'm too old."
Han grabbed her and kissed her. Suddenly, Leia found herself feeling like she was aging backward. When he let go of her, she moved her hands up to her face.
"I'm still old." She commented.
"Our love will keep you alive." Han told her. Chewie growled and pointed to a corridor.
"But what about you?" She asked.
Han said nothing, instead he lead the way down the corridor. The corridor lead into a room full of gold, with a large fountain in the middle. The room was filled with such pleasing things, such as chocolate, money, stuffed animals and jewelry. Basically, there was enough things here to make the group content for the rest of their lives.
"What's going on?" Leia asked.
Chewie growled and hurried over to a pile of stuffed Ewoks. He sat there and waited for them to talk.
Han lead Leia over to the fountain.
"The fountain of youth." Leia read the sign. "Do you think it really works?" She asked Han.
"I wouldn't trust it." Han said, turning his attention to the gold. "Wow, that's a lot of gold."
"Han, I think we should find another way."
"What?" He was too busy looking at the gold.
"We have to get out of here."
"No, it's cool." Han shrugged it off and went for the gold.
Han started to shove some gold in his pockets and Leia bent over the fountain. She was about to drink from it when she heard the sound of heavy breathing.
"Burning a hole in your pocket yet?" Darth Vader made his presence known as Han's pockets actually started to burn. The Stuffed Ewoks started to attack Chewie, bearing little claws which injured the wookie.
"Your minds are weak." Darth said, "The Force isn't strong enough to protect anybody from human desires. Princess, if you had joined the Dark Side, then this room could please you anytime. You'd have anything you wanted. Power, romance?"
"I'm happy on the Jedi's Light Side." Leia commented.
"Really?," Darth Vader asked. "It seemed to me that you've been very unhappy with growing old."
Chewie growled furiously as he was able to deflect the stuffed animals easily. Meanwhile, Han managed to jump into the fountain and cool himself off.
"I should have showed up later." Darth Vader commented.
"Okay guys, this is our new mission." Han said, trying to scare Darth Vader. "It's time to put Vader into overkill." He said as the three of them advanced on Darth Vader, their weapons drawn.
Meanwhile, Alex found a place where he could dock the Millennium Falcon with ease. He and Yoda stepped out followed by a very reluctant C3PO and R2D2.
"Quiet you all must be." Yoda warned.
The four of them took a turn down a very dark passage. It was unusually quiet walking down this hallway that resembled a cave. Alex was about to put out his hand to see if there were natural rock carvings in the wall.
"Don't." Yoda warned. "Foolish it would be."
They went down further until they reached a doorway made entirely out of steel. There was a faint hum on the other side. Yoda concentrated on using the force to crumble the door.
On the other side, in the center of the room, there was a large stone.
"What is that?" Alex asked.
"Concentration of the force." Yoda said.
"Oh dear, what must we do to it." C3PO wondered out loud.
"Step into it, I must." Yoda said, "But step out of it I will never."
"No, sir, there must be another way." C3PO protested.
R2D2 beeped.
"Precisely, what if Alex used his light saber to cut through it."
"Powerful enough it will not be." Yoda said, taking a few steps into it.
"Master wait." Alex said.
"Yes?" Yoda asked.
"If this is going to be the last time I see you, I just wanted to thank you." Alex bent down to look Yoda in the eyes again. "I want to thank you for sending Luke and Han to rescue me in the first place. And for not losing patience when so many other masters did."
"Think of it not." Yoda dismissed it, "In the past it is."
"You have to do this?"
"Yes." Yoda hugged Alex. "Good kid you are. That way you must stay." He then walked into the green light of the crystal.
Yoda's screams of pain echoed in that little room, but stopped suddenly. A few seconds after Yoda's screams stopped, the rock turned a black color and then crumbled. The lights dimmed.
"I think it's safe to approach it." Alex told the droids.
They walked to the center of where that rock had been. Yoda's robe lay on the ground, with a small puddle of green blood. Next to it was his light saber. Alex pocketed it and then knelt where Yoda died.
After saying a quick prayer, he couldn't help but weep for a minute for his departed friend. He didn't realize another person entering the room.
"You're weak, just like you've always been." Darth Gallowmere said, looking down at his son.
"And you still have no respect for the deceased." Alex spat.
"Is that what they teach you at that Jedi Training Ground? To become weak with emotion?"
"At least some people understand feelings."
"I should've finished you off when I drew most of your life force from your arm." Gallowmere snorted, drawing a light saber.
"You want to fight me?" Alex asked.
"Unless you're afraid, then I'll kill you now."
"R2, C3PO, go help the other squadrons." Alex stood, and drew the double edged light saber. He looked Gallowmere in the eyes as he said, "I havn't been afraid of you in years."
