Episode 14 - Escape from Tatooine

As the troopers are getting shot and killed off one by one from Han's blaster shots, Madoka managed to shoot them down with her pink energy arrows as her staff turns into bow mode. Sayaka also helped by dashing and getting closer within her range at the troopers at some areas, clearing the path for the Falcon to launch and depart from the bay.

Han was surprised to see the two girls he talked earlier as he never seen anything like it before EVER in his life.

"Just.. what are those girls are?" Han thought in his mind as he was stunned that the two young magical girls did their job on clearing all the troopers in the bay area.

Madoka stopped as her bow turned back into staff mode, and Sayaka puts away her cutlass swords in her dashing white cape.

Dead troopers everywhere. Shot by blaster fire, shot by Madoka's pink energy arrows, and shot by one of Sayaka's blades, others were dismembered and slashed. Due to how Madoka and Sayaka's weapons where, some troopers were bleeding from where they were shot from in some places like the torso, straight to the head, leg, limbs, etc.

Han was speechless until he hits the release button that slams the overhead entry shut as Madoka and Sayaka rushed quickly to the ramp and entered the Falcon safely.

The young smuggler heads to the cockpit and joined his co-pilot as he sat down on his chair, and the group straps in for take off.

The Corellian pirateship zooms from Tatooine into space, leaving the planet a few meters away.

Millennium Falcon - Cockpit

Han frantically types information into the ship's computer. R2-D2 appears momentarily at the cockpit doorway, making few beeping remarks then rolls away.

"It looks like an Imperial cruiser." Han said as he looked into the readings of what seems to be an Imperial cruiser going after them. "Our passengers must be hotter than I thought. Try to hold them off. Angle the deflector shield while I make calculations for the jump to light speed." Han suggested as he fiddled with the controls correctly to calculate before jumping into light speed to escape the Imperial cruiser that's after them.

Madoka and Sayaka were confused as they ran through the hallways and pathways of the Falcon, trying to see what's going from the outside to get a better view. However, Han Solo heard the running and tapping footsteps of the young girls as he shouted at them but not in anger, "Pipe it down back there! Climb into the turrets right next to the cockpit."

Both of the girls heard the loud voice of the smuggler as they headed directly to the cockpit and turned their direction as they noticed the a long ladder, leading up and down to the top and bottom blaster turrets of the Falcon.

Madoka climbed to bottom while Sayaka climbed to the top portion to the turrets. Once they arrived, they nearly sat down and looked around them. The turret section of the Falcon features a large open glass dome with frames supporting it, giving them more room and vision for the blaster turrets to weave and maneuver around in all directions to shoot.

Knowing this, neither Madoka and Sayaka are confused as they do not know how to operate a weapon like this, similar to that of a military tank's turret or an Anti-Aircraft Gun.

Instead, Sayaka noticed a pair of headphones right next to her, placed it on and activated it. The radio is now active from the turret to the cockpit section of the starship as she said over through the mic of the headphones, "They're coming right at us!"

Han heard the voice through the speakers of the cockpit, hearing Sayaka's voice through them as he said, "Thanks for the heads up, kid!"

Luke and Ben made their into the cramped cockpit as they sat on the chairs behind Solo and Chewie.

"Stay sharp! There are two more coming in; they're going to try to cut us off."

"Why don't you outrun them? I thought you said this thing was fast." Luke straightforwardly said this to the pilot.

Han heard the young boy's rude comment as he replied, "Watch your mouth, kid, or you're going to find yourself floating home. We'll be safe enough once we make the jump to hyperspace. Besides, I know a few maneuvers. We'll lose them!", said in a reassuring voice that calmed the frustrated but calm Luke.

The Imperial cruisers fire at the starship.

"This is where the fun begins."

Madoka noticed the headphones right next to her as she also activated it and spoke through the microphone. "They're firing at us! What should we do?"

Han heard another voice from another radio speaker in the cockpit as he responded with, "Stay tight. Operate one of those turrets and fire right at them!"

Ben asked the pilot, "How long before you can make the jump to light speed?"

Han heard the old man's question as he replied with, "It'll take me a few moments to get the coordinates from the navi-computer."

The ship begins to rock violently as lasers hit it.

Madoka and Sayaka heard and felt the rumble of the ship shaking as they did their best to start up the turrets by activating him. Suddenly, they lost balance as the turrets respond to the user on the controls of the gun, so they slowly try to aim directly at the Imperial cruisers to shoot them down.

"Kinda feels like we're controlling a military tank, huh?" Sayaka jokingly says this to Madoka in the other turret room.

"Haha. Very funny, Sayaka." Madoka giggled as she tried to control the turrets a bit way better as they get the hang of it.

Luke furiously said, "Are you kidding? At this rate, they're gaining..."

His sentence was cut mid-way when Han responded to the young boy's ruthless response in a serious tone, "Traveling through hyperspace isn't like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova and that' end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?"

Luke was stunned from the pilot's response to his ruthlessness. Instead, he noticed the flashing to ignore this foolishness of his. "What's that flashing?"

"We're losing our deflector shield. Go strap yourself in. I'm going to make the jump into light speed."

The galaxy brightens as they move faster, almost as if crashing a barrier at the speed of sound. Madoka and Sayaka heard Han's voice through the speaker as they strapped in tightly with the seat belts while holding onto the handles of the controls of the turret, making them stable as the Millennium Falcon zooms into infinity in less than a second.

Meanwhile, at the Death Star

Death Star - Control Room

Admiral Motti enters the quiet control room and bows before Grand Moff Tarkin, who stands before the huge wall screen displaying a small green planet.

"We have entered the Alderaan system." Motti said.

Vader along with four Stormtroopers enter the control room with not just Princess Leia, but with the two weakened but alive magical girls; Mami Tomoe and Kyouko Sakura.

"Without my powers, I cannot draw my weapons nor summon my Tiro Finale." Mami said as she transmitted the message to Kyouko, who is weakened but still standing on her two feet.

"Same goes to me for my spear and barrier." Kyouko replied.

Both of their hands are bound. Princess Leia was on front before the magical girls as the troopers assisted her closer to Tarkin.

"Governor Tarkin, I should expected to find you holding Vader's leash." Leia protested, "I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board."

Tarkin smuggly replied to the Princess, "Charming to the last. You don't know how hard I found it signing the order to terminate your life!"

Leia resisted as she underestimated him, "I surprised you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself!"

"Princess Leia," Tarkin said as he grabbed Leia's chin and cheek in his grasp, "before your execution, I would like you to be my guest for a ceremony that will make this battle station operational. No star system will dare oppose the Emperor now." then releases his grip on the Princess' face.

Leia resisted again, "The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the star systems will slip through your fingers."

"Not after we demonstrate the power of this station. In a way, you have determined the choice of the planet that'll be destroyed first." Tarkin retorted. "Since you are reluctant to provide us with the location of the Rebel base, I have chosen to test this station's destructive power... on your home planet of Alderaan."

Leia was stunned and shocked as she let go her guard and protests, "No! Alderaan is peaceful. We have no weapons. You can't possibly.."

"You would prefer another target? A military target? Then name the system!"

Tarkin waves menacingly toward Leia as she was struck by fear and scared of losing her home planet over to the Empire just to give up the information for the Rebel base.

Leia hears an intercom voice announcing the approach to Alderaan.

"Death Star in range to Alderaan."'

Leia looked at the magical girls with a pitiful look as they noticed the Princess' face right in front of them as they felt fear is running through inside her.

"Dantooine.." Leia whispered softly as she lowered her head.

Author's Note: Uh oh. They're in big trouble right now. Especially for Mami and Kyouko considering that their Soul Gems were loaded to increase the firepower in the Death Star itself. Find out in the next chapter of this series. We will return to the Star Wars x Madoka Magica Crossover after these messages.
