Several hours later, the Rebel Transport ships left the Frigate. In the lead transport, Luke and Han watched the Rebel Soldiers check their blaster rifles. When each weapon was charged, an eerie silence came over the group. The anticipation of combat.
Several minutes later, the engines depowered. The doors on the transport slid open and Luke ignited his lightsaber. They had landed in the docking bay, but there were no stormtroopers. The Rebel Troops fanned out and formed a perimeter as more transports arrived. The mission on record was to kill Grand Moff Tarkin, but Luke's mission was to 'rescue a hostage'. He reached into the Force.
Jyn, where are you? he called to her through the Force.
I'm in Tarkin's bedroom. It's more like a prison cell, She responded.
Don't worry. I'm here with about a thousand rebel soldiers he told her.
Luke cut the connection and gave the signal to move up. The Rebels moved into the hallway.
Luke used the Force to sense their surroundings. There was a pair of patrolling troopers around the corner.
He quickly yanked the pistol from his belt and fired just as the two troopers spotted them. He hit both between the eyes. Luke reached into the Force and searched for Moff Tarkin. He found Tarkin heading for the bedroom. Uh-Oh.
Luke's objective and the Rebels' target were now in close proximity. Might as well complete both missions with one attack. Luke looked at Sergeant Tom, the leader of the attack force. "Sergeant, I need ten of your men now". Tom saluted and pulled 10 soldiers from the mass of troops. "These are my best" he said. "Good" Luke responded. "Moff Tarkin is heading toward his bedroom. I can cut a hole through the ceiling for a shortcut, but it will take too long to bring everyone through. You'll have to take the long way"
Tom nodded and ordered his men forward. Luke ignited his lightsaber and cut through the ceiling. He used the Force to jump through, then brought the Rebel Soldiers through as well. He reached out with the Force. Moff Tarkin was entering his quarters, and he had posted guards. They were just around the corner.
Luke ordered the soldiers to stay back. He walked toward the stormtrooper guards, very aware of Tarkin's movements. He was headed toward the bed. Luke had to hurry. The guards spotted Luke. "Stop right there" the first one ordered.
Luke raised his right hand at the troopers. "You will enter the Moff's quarters, find him, and shoot him" Luke stated. "We will enter the Moff's quarters, find him, and shoot him" the troopers replied in monotone.
Jyn, do you see the troopers walking in slowly? Luke asked through the Force.
Yes, and you'd better hurry. The Moff is touching me in weird places. Jyn responded.
Those troopers are under mind control. I ordered them to shoot Tarkin. Get out of the line if fire. Luke replied back to her.
Inside the room, Jyn kicked Tarkin's crotch and rolled out of the way. The stormtroopers fired off a few shots at Tarkin and... missed.
They missed! Jyn called to Luke in panic.
Tarkin pulled his sidearm and shot the troopers. He put the gun away, and then got more intimate with Jyn.
Dammit Luke! Get in here! Jyn screamed at him through the Force.
Luke motioned for the Rebel Soldiers to double time it as he pulled his pistol and rushed into the room. Tarkin noticed him, and grabbed Jyn, placing her in the line of fire.
"Hand her over Tarkin" Luke yelled.
"No way. Do you have any idea how much trouble I had to go to to get her here?" Tarkin said.
"Yes I do. And you won't go any farther or I'll pull this trigger" Luke said. "Hand her over now"
Tarkin just smiled. Luke waited for a few seconds. He had hoped to not be the one to shoot Tarkin, but Jyn wasn't an effective meat shield. Tarkin's head was completely exposed. Luke pulled the trigger. The bright red laser blast singed Jyn's hair and hit Tarkin through the neck. With his last breath, Tarkin once again picked up his sidearm and fired off a shot. Luke wasn't expecting it. He was hit in the shoulder.
Without a thought to his injury. Luke ran over to Jyn. "Are you okay?" He asked her. "Luke, he was about to do it" Jyn said. "It's okay. You're safe now" Luke told her softly. Jyn nodded as she cried into his arms.
I love you Luke told her through the Force.
Jyn gripped him tighter.
I love you too, and thank you She replied.
Luke then realised that she wasn't wearing any clothes. Luke turned and saw the 10 soldiers standing there. "Do any of you have spare clothing?" Luke asked. One man pulled his coat off and handed it to Luke. He wrapped Jyn in it. Fortunately, it was long enough to cover any sensitive areas. Luke swept her up in his arms and carried her back to the docking bay.
The Rebels boarded the transports and went back to their Frigate as the Star Destroyer finally succumbed to the massive damage and exploded.
Everyone was safe for now.
I know this chapter was a bit rough, but the next one will be a lot more smooth. Please review. Any suggestions are noted.
