STAR GUPPIES WARS
EPISODE VI: RETURN OF THE JEDI
Part 7: It´s a Trap!
The Emperor's plans were beginning to bear fruit. We will look for a moment at Molly on the forest moon of Endor. She was entering an imperial terminal guarded by elite soldiers. She was stealthy. She had to get to a computer for the Rebellion to send reinforcements so that her friends Goby and Deema have a better chance of destroying the shield generator so the fleet could end the Second Death Star. The base was not very large, for which she was not lost. She finally got to a computer. Molly used the console to send a distress signal at a frequency such that the Empire could not detect it, only the Rebel Alliance.
"Perfect. I hope the reinforcements come soon" Molly said to herself.
"Are you going somewhere, little girl?" It was a fish imperial commander pointed her with a blaster gun. Then more Lobster Troopers appeared surrounding Molly. She just held up her hands in surrender.
"Oh oh" Molly said worried.
We will return to space. The Rebellion Fleet finally reached the Endor system. Oona and Nonny were at the forefront of the fleet in the Millennium Falcon. The rebel star cruisers were ready to attack the Second Death Star. But ... something was wrong.
"All light ships report" Oona ordered.
"All X-Wings, Y-Wings and A-Wings squadrons are in attack position, Purple Leader Oona" One pilot reported.
"May the Force be with us" Admiral Shrimpbar said. All ships were preparing for attack. But something was wrong. There was no Star Destroyer or TIE ship anywhere.
"Oona...I don't like this" Nonny confessed.
"What's going on, Nonny?" Oona asked.
"The guys didn't send any signal. We do not know if the shield is in operation or not" Nonny commented.
"Trust them. They will do it" Oona was optimistic.
"Oona….We must stop now!" Nonny was scared.
"Why?" She asked.
"I remember this imperial tactic. They ALREADY know we are here. No wonder there were no ships around here. They are waiting for us!" Nonny was very concerned.
"All ships withdraw the attack. We have to go back now!" Oona ordered. She trusted in Nonny.
"Evasive maneuvers. We must maintain the position before they deactivate the shield generator" Admiral Shrimpbar ordered.
"Sir, enemy ships in sector 27!" A commander said to his boss.
"IT'S A TRAP!" Admiral Shrimpbar shouted shocked. Unfortunately, it was all an Empire trap. An enormous fleet of Star Destroyers arrived led by the fearsome Executor (Darth Krader's Star Destroyer although this sith was not on the ship) In addition to thousands of TIE ships arriving.
"Too many enemy ships, Oona. This is my fault. I should have imagined that the Empire would do something like that" Nonny said.
"This is not your fault. No time for that. Order the light ships to protect the huge cruisers. If our friends manage to disable the shield, we will have a chance. We must resist" Oona explained.
"All right. All small ships, protect star cruisers immediately" Nonny ordered with a communication device.
From the Emperor's observatory. Gil, Darth Krader, and the Emperor himself could watch the space attack by the rebels. Sure, they were losing.
"Look with your own eyes, boy. From here you will witness the total destruction of the Rebel Alliance and the end of the insignificant rebellion" The Emperor said. Gil was already beginning to get carried away by his anger. He saw that his lightsaber was in the Emperor's hand "You want your weapon, right? Hate is filling your whole being. Take your weapon and use it against me. I am unarmed. Use your weapon to finish me and let yourself be delivered by hatred. Every time you are here you become my server" The Emperor was only seeking to provoke him. Gil was taking a deep breath. He was feeling hatred for the man who turned his father into a monster. But Gil decides to resist more. He would not surrender so easily to the dark side.
"No!" Gil answered confidently.
"It is unavoidable. It is your destiny. You are mine, just like your father" The dark snail said that.
We will return to the forest moon of Endor. This time, with Goby, Deema, and their squad of rebels arrested by the Imperials. Evidently they fell into the trap that the Emperor planned. Too many lobster troopers and imperial officers.
"Well, here we are. I can't believe I will die this way. Not a heroic way" Goby said.
"We are together until the end. That matters a lot" Deema smiled him "(sigh) At least we would have exploited the shield generator and our deaths would not have been in vain"
"Yes, but as if a miracle would happen now" Goby was pessimist. But in this moment.
"Arf Arf Arf" BP-2 barked in a hill.
"Bubble Puppy!?" Goby and Deema shouted.
"Catch that droid dog!" A commander ordered. Some lobster troopers obeyed him and they chased Bubble Puppy. The robot managed to drive those troops away for a moment. But, they surrounded the poor robot cub.
"Stop here!" A lobster trooper ordered.
"Arf Arf...Grrrrrrr" Bubble Puppy became aggressive.
It was a sign. The Ewoks appeared to ambush the Imperial soldiers. They attacked them with spears, large rocks, and bow and arrow. A few little fishes blew trumpets to reveal something. There were several Ewoks hidden around the Imperial soldiers. They began attacking lobster troopers, giving Goby, Deema, and the rebels a chance to break free, retrieve their weapons, and defend themselves against the surge of imperial soldiers.
"I told you that they would be useful" Deema smirked his lovely boy.
"But who knows how long the little ones will hold against all the imperial troops" Goby commented while he was shooting.
"That is why we have Molly. I hope she accomplished her mission" Deema added.
The Battle of Endor broke out. Deema and Goby protected the blocked shield generator input. They needed to find some way to open the door. The rebels and the Ewoks joined forces to stop the imperial advance. They had advantages, that the Ewoks prepared traps that the lobster troopers did not expect. Like surprise attacks, ropes, catapults with huge rocks, hunter tactics, among other primitive traps. The bad thing is that the Imperials had a numerical and technological advantage. They had powerful AT-STs. Two-legged walking machines with a cannon and sturdy armor. The good news is that our heroes just have to hold on until reinforcements arrive.
"How will we open this door?" Goby asked.
"We need Bubble Puppy now" Deema commented.
Meanwhile, Molly is under arrest on the other side of the forest. The officer was guarding her along with other lobster troopers. It seems they wanted to execute her.
"I admire your ability, young lady. You managed to sneak into an imperial terminal for a few minutes. It is unfortunate that you have to die here. Tell me, what did you do with those computers?" The commander asked with a evil smile.
"It does not matter. It may be that you outnumber me. But more rebels will come soon. And they will finish you all" Molly was confident.
"Sir, the rebels ambushed some soldiers at the shield generator. They need reinforcements immediately" A lobster trooper reported.
"May my squad get there soon" The commander said very confident "I'll take care of you myself. After you, your friends will be the next to die" The officer said that with an evil smile as he pointed his blaster pistol at Molly.
"NO!" Molly screamed. Unbeknownst to her, she reached out both hands towards the imperial officer who was going to kill her. Unexpectedly, she pushed him away from her without touching him and he fell very hard. The Imperial soldiers were shocked as was the commander. Molly looked frightened at her hands. What was that? What kind of power was that?
"Molly….Use the Force" Mr Grouper's voice said that. Although Molly knew next to nothing about the Force, she would trust her old friend. She decided to get the only weapon that would be useful there. That's right, the blue lightsaber Gil gave her. She held him with both hands in a defensive position. Waiting for the Imperial attack.
"Soldiers….Focus your shots ... ON THE JEDI!" The commander ordered angrily.
"It is ... too soon for you to call me Jedi" Molly admitted.
"I DO NOT CARE. KILL HER!" The officer shouted furiously. The lobster troopers started to shoot her.
Molly managed to defend herself from the shots of the imperial soldiers with her blue lightsaber. She had a hard time holding on that long, until she discovered something. If she blocked in a certain position, she could deflect the shots at them. Thus, she began to defeat the imperial soldiers. Molly was getting too tired, she was not used to fighting with lightsaber. That was the specialty of her friend Gil. But she would not give up. With great difficulty, she managed to defeat all the imperial soldiers along with the commander.
"I have to get where Goby and Deema are before the Imperial reinforcements get to them. But how will I get there fast?" Molly asked to herself. She managed to see something good. At the abandoned imperial base she managed to see a vehicle. It was an AT-ST walker. It would be useful in that field. Molly smirked. She had an idea.
We will return to the space where the rebels were fighting to defend the star cruisers. The Millennium Falcon did its best to survive alongside the rebel ships.
"Squadrons 8, 13, 19 and 24. They must defend the medical frigate" Oona ordered.
"Mmmmm suspicious" Nonny was thoughtful.
"What happens, Nonny?" Oona asked.
"Here's something weird. Why are only TIE ships attacking us? Why are the Star Destroyers not attacking us? I think ... I think The Emperor has something planned" Nonny was worried.
"Are you sure? Does the Emperor have something against us?" Oona asked.
"OONA, LOOK OUT!" Nonny shouted. Luckily, Oona maneuvered the Millennium Falcon well to dodge a massive shot that managed to destroy an entire rebel star cruiser.
"What was that?" Oona asked scared.
"That came from the Death Star. That was planned by the Emperor! I guess" Nonny commented.
"I thought the weapons system was not in operation" Oona said.
"Well, they tricked us" Nonny answered.
"We have to prepare for withdrawal. If the Death Star works, we have no chance" Admiral Shrimpbar ordered.
"We can not. This is our only chance" Oona refused.
"We can't take it any longer. We will fall if we don't go" Admiral Shrimpbar commented.
"Let's give the guys more time. It is essential to give them more time" Oona shouted.
Things were not going well overland. The rebels and the Ewoks were declining in number. Lobster troopers advanced and killed various rebels and Ewoks. Luckily, Goby and Deema were fine defending the shield generator door. BP-2 arrived to open the door successfully, but it would take time for that to happen. So Deema and Goby defended Bubble Puppy from the Imperial forces. Unfortunately, one of the lobster troopers managed to shoot Bubble Puppy. This one got a little damaged, but he couldn't open the door anymore.
"Arf Arf…..Bzzzzzz" BP-2 was damaged.
"Oh no….Well….I'll have to open the door, but I need time" Goby proposed.
"I'll cover you" Deema shooted the imperials soldiers. It was a tragic and sad moment for the rebellion. The few soldiers left with the poor Ewoks were massacred by the Lobster Troopers thanks to their advanced weapons, their AT-ST walkers, and all their equipment. When will the reinforcements arrive?
In space everything was worse. The Death Star managed to destroy more star cruisers with its mega beam. The rebel ships were still trying to survive the massive imperial attack.
"Guys, let's try to destroy the Star Destroyers" Oona ordered.
"At this distance we won't last long against the Star Destroyers" Admiral Shrimpbar commented.
"We have more opportunity with the Destroyers than with the Death Star" Oona commented. The Millenium Falcon was escorted with some X-Wings and Y-Wings. But….
"They gave me!" One pilot screamed. The rebel ships began to be shot down. The Millennium Falcon was in danger.
"We can't even get close to a Star Destroyer. This ... may be the end. But ... I won't give up yet. If necessary I will die fighting" Oona was determined.
"Oona….I want to tell you something quick. If we don't survive this I want to tell you this. I ... do not regret having abandoned Empire. Thanks, Oona. You saw the light in me when nobody saw it. Maybe we're going to die, but if I'm going to die today, I'm glad you're with me by my side to the end" Nonny took a little Oona´s hand.
"And why are you saying that to me in the middle of the battle?" Oona asked blushed but she was focused.
"It's ... I'd better tell you now that we're alive. You know, this may be our end" Nonny commented.
"I….Thanks, Nonny. Whatever happens, I'm glad you're with me" Oona smiled him. Unfortunately, that cute scene didn't last long. They had to focus on surviving while their friends did something with the shield.
We return to the throne room. Gil could only contemplate how the entire fleet of his friends was being destroyed. Some of them were his friends. And they were dead. This only increased hatred within Gil.
"As you can see, your fleet has failed. Your friends on the moon will not survive. There is no escape anymore, my young apprentice. The Rebel Alliance will die, as will your friends" The emperor said. Gil was already looking at him with angry eyes. It seems that the dark side was already tempting the young blue-haired Jedi. Krader just looked at everything "Yeah….Well ... well ... I can already feel your anger. I am unarmed and defenseless. Do it, Gil Gordon! Use your weapon and finish me with all your hatred! And your path to the dark side will finally be complete!" The Emperor screamed with the intention of provoking Gil further. He knew that if he killed him, he would fall on the dark side.
Gil thought about it a lot. He knew that was what The Emperor wanted. But ... Gil was sick of that old sith. He could not tolerate that he transformed his father into a monster, that he brought pain, suffering and terror to the galaxy, that he is now killing his friends. Gil was already angry and fed up with him. He used the Force to attract his own green lightsaber. He lit it and prepared to kill the Emperor with a blow from his lightsaber. But before he succeeded, Darth Krader (his father) ignited his red lightsaber and blocked Gil's attack by saving the old sith's life. The Emperor only laughed evilly as he saw how father and son were ready to kill each other. The final match between Gil Gordon and Darth Krader was already inevitable.
