Chapter 8: There is No Try

(On the bridge of the Executor, Darth Viggo stands in the back of the control area with a rough-looking group of individuals. In the front of the area, Savage watches them disdainfully and speaks to some controllers.)

Savage: Bounty hunters. We don't need their scum.

Controller: Yes, sir.

Savage: Also, I hate these hats.

Controller: Yes, sir.

Controller #2: Sir, we have a priority signal from one of our ships.

(As Savage investigates the signal, Viggo observes the bounty hunters one by one. There's Bossk, a giant lizard-like alien, Dengar, a human in a white turban, IG-88, a skinny dark-grey assassin droid, 4-LOM, a dark-grey protocol droid, Zuckuss, an insect-like human, and finally Heather in a dark-green, grey and brown armored suit and helmet with her hair sticking out from underneath.)

Viggo: Ok, nice bounty hunter turnout today. (passes IG-88) Lets see, we got robot guy,(passes Zuckuss) Old-Timey-Deep-Sea-Diver looking guy, (passes Dengar) Turban guy, (passes Bossk), Lizard guy, who I think I saw get in a fight with Captain Kirk, (passes 4-LOM) 'nother robot guy, (passes Heather), Heather Fett, of course, thanks for coming, and… what are you supposed to be?

(He stands in front of a rag doll guy with red hair and a sailor suit.)

Guy: Raggedy Andy.

Viggo: (stern) Leave this bounty hunter meeting. (turns to the others) Okay, I'll cut to the chase, there will be a substantial reward for the one who finds the Millennium Falcon. You are free to use any methods necessary, but I want them alive. (looks at Heather) No disintegrations.

Heather: As you wish.

(Savage runs up to Viggo in excitement.)

Savage: Sir! We found them.

Viggo: You did? Well, alright then. (to the bounty hunters) Sorry, my friends, guess we won't be needing your services after all. But since you're here why don't my men by you all pizza?

(In another part of the Asteroid field, the Millennium Falcon speeds away from a pursuing Star Destroyer. In the cockpit, the see the asteroids numbers decreasing until they are no more.)

Fishlegs: Oh, thank goodness were coming out of the asteroid field.

(The Star Destroyer fires lasers at the Falcon and almost hit it. Hiccup and Toothless quickly activate the controls.)

Hiccup: Lets blow this place. Ready for lightspeed?

Toothless: All set.

Hiccup: One, two, three!

(He pulls back on the throttle and the engine roars up before sputtering and going back down. Nothing else happens.)

Hiccup: What!?

Toothless: That's not fair!

Hiccup: The transfer circuits are working. It's not my fault!

Ruffnut: (sarcastically) No lightspeed?

Toothless: No lightspeed.

Hiccup: It's not my fault!

Fishlegs: We just lost the back deflector shield. One more hit and we're done for!

Hiccup: That does it. Turn her aground.

Toothless: What?

Hiccup: Turn her around! Put all power in the front shield!

Ruffnut: (shocked) Your going to attack them!?

Hiccup: Sheesh, if I had a dime for every time you questioned me today…

Fishlegs: Sir, the odds of surviving a direct assault on an Imperial Star Destroyer…

Ruffnut: (to Fishlegs) Shut up!

(The Falcon performs a steep, sweeping turn and races towards the Star Destroyer. It moves over the surface of the massive ship and maneuvers to avoid the laser bursts. It continues further across the ship to the bridge. On the command bridge, the ships commander, Griselda, and a few officers see the Falcon coming right at them.)

Griselda: They're moving into attack position. Shields up!

(They duck down as the Falcon nears the bridge window. At the last second, it veers off and out of sight.)

Griselda: Track them. Those numbskulls might come around for another pass.

Officer #1: Captain Griselda, the ship no longer appears on our scopes.

Griselda: (confused) They can't have disappeared. That ship's too small to have a cloaking device.

Officer #1: Well, there's no trace of them, ma'am.

(Another officer picks up a phone.

Officer#2: Captain, Lord Viggo demands an update on the pursuit of the Millennium Falcon.

Griselda: (nervous) Uhh… tell him… we blew it up.

Officer#2: Umm… he's not on hold and he just heard you.

Viggo: (on the phone, disappointed) Yeah, I just heard you. I'm expecting your butt on my ship explaining this to me, pronto!

Griselda: (sighs) Fine. Get a shuttle ready.

(On Dagobah by the camp, Tuffnut stands on his hands with his feet in the air. He shows enormous strain. Gothi is balanced on his left foot. Snotlout watches them from a short distance.)

Gothi: Use the Force. Yes…

(A few feet away, a large stone gently rises and floats a few feet up, courtesy of Tuffnut. He sets the stone gently back down.)

Gothi: Now the other stone. Feel it.

(Tuffnut concentrates on lifting the other stone and sets it on top of the other. Snotlout turns his attention to the lake the X-wing crashed into. He sees it sinking into the water. Only the right side wing and engine are visible. Snotlout frantically tries to get Tuffnut's attention.)

Snotlout: Tuffnut! The ship's going down!

Tuffnut: (panics) What!?

Gothi: Concentrate!

(Tuffnut loses his balance and topples over. Gothi falls off his foot. They both get up Tuffnut rushes to the water's edge. He sees the ship sinking lower.)

Tuffnut: On, no. We'll never get it out now.

Gothi: (irritated) So certain are you. Always saying it can't be done. Have you heard nothing I've said to you?

Tuffnut: (uncertain) Master, moving stones is one thing. This is completely different.

Gothi: Not so. It's only different in your mind. Just unlearn what you have learned.

Tuffnut: (sighs) Alright, I'll give it a try.

Gothi: No, try not, do or do not. There is no try.

(Tuffnut nods to him and focuses on his ship. He closes his eyes and holds his hand out, concentrating on lifting it out. Slowly, the X-wing rises above of the water. Gothi and Snotlout watch with anticipation. It hovers for a moment and then slides back down, completely sinking underneath the water and disappearing.)

Snotlout: (disappointed) Aw, nuts.

(Gothi shakes her head. Tuffnut sadly walks back to her.)

Tuffnut: (panting) I can't. It's too big.

Gothi: Hey, size means nothing. Look to me. Do you judge me by my size? You shouldn't. For my ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is. Life creates it and makes us grow. We are luminous beings and not this crude matter. You've got to feel the Force around you, Tuffnut. (gesturing) Between you, me, the trees, rocks, everywhere! Even between this land and that ship!

(Tuffnut stands up and looks at Gothi discouragingly.)

Tuffnut: You want the impossible.

(He walks away and sits down on a log with his head down. Gothi looks at the lake.)

Gothi: Ok, let's see if this old dragon still has some fire left.

(She closes her eyes and holds out her hand. Bubbles appear on the water's surface and the wing of the ship emerges. Snotlout sees this and gets excited.)

Snotlout: Oh, my Thor! Tuffnut, you got to see this! The freaky little Jedi master is actually doing it!

(Tuffnut hears him and curiously walks back to the lake and is amazed by what he sees. The X- wing completely rise out of the water and levitates above it. Gothi gently guides it over to the shore and sets it back down slowly. Tuffnut walks over to it and stares at it in astonishment. Gothi relaxes and smiles in approval.)

Gothi: Yeah, I still got it.

(Tuffnut goes back over to Gothi and sits beside her. He's still stunned.)

Tuffnut: I… I don't believe it.

Gothi: And that is why you fail.

(Tuffnut shakes his head and takes in what Gothi just said.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/-\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Back in space, the Imperial fleet exits the asteroid field and a shuttle's flies to the Executor. On the command bridge, Griselda falls to her knees, clutching her throat. She slumps to the floor and her body goes limp. Viggo stands over her.)

Viggo: (mockingly) Apology accepted, Captain Griselda.

(Two troopers pick up the body and drag it away. Viggo turns to Savage and some officers who were watching.)

Viggo: So, back to square one it seems. Where did they go?

Savage: Our ships have completed their scan of the area found nothing. If the Millennium Falcon went into hyperspace, they should be on the other side of the galaxy by now.

Viggo: Alert all commands. Calculate every possible destination along their last known trajectory. Looks like we need those bounty hunters after all. Good thing they're still here since I offered you all to buy them pizza.

Savage: Yes, boss. We'll fund them.

Viggo: (threatingly) Don't fail me again, Admiral.

(He turns and walks off the bridge.)

Officer: I hate when he says things like that.

Savage: Trust me, it's better then when he doesn't say it. (to the officers) Alert all commands. Prepare to deploy the fleet.

(Above the rest of the fleet, the Star Destroyer that found the Falcon prepares to depart. The Falcon itself is clinging to the back of the bridge, which is the Destroyer's blind spot. It can't be detected or seen. In the cockpit, the group watches the Imperial fleet.)

Fishlegs: (worried) Captain Hiccup, this time you've gone too far.

Toothless: (annoyed) Oh, hush.

Fishlegs: No, Toothless, I will not hush. Why doesn't anyone listen to me?

Hiccup: The Fleets beginning to break up. Toothless, get ready to release the landing claw.

Fishlegs: I don't see how we can still hide from them. In this situation, surrender really seems the best option. The Empire may be gracious enough…

(Ruffnut reaches over and flips the switch on the back of Fishleg's head, shutting him off, mid-sentence.)

Toothless: (to Ruffnut)) Thank you.

Ruffnut: So, what do we do now?

Hiccup: Well, if they follow standard Imperial procedure they'll dump their garbage before going to lightspeed, then we just float away.

Ruffnut: With the rest of the garbage. Oksy, after that?

(Hiccup turns on a computer screen showing a map.)

Hiccup: We gotta find a safe port somewhere around here to finally fix the ship. Got any ideas?

Toothless: Where are we?

Hiccup: Near the Anoat system.

Ruffnut: Not much there.

Hiccup: Nope. Wait, this is interesting. How about Wasabi?

Ruffnut: The Wasabi system?

Hiccup: Wasabi's not a system, he's a guy, Wasabi Calrissian.

Toothless: Oh yeah. The guy who owned the Falcon before us.

Ruffnut: Really? You two have always had this ship?

Hiccup: Not quite, watch my Solo movie, explains everything. (chuckles) Ha, Solo movie. Anyway, we got it from Wasabi. He's this card player, gambler, scoundrel. You'll probably like him.

Ruffnut: Thanks. Where is he?

Hiccup: Bespin system. Little far, but we can make it.

Ruffnut: Bespin? A mining colony?

Hiccup: Yeah, a tibanna gas mine. Wasabi became the administrater. He's quite the successful businessman. We go way back, Wasabi and me.

Ruffnut: You trust him?

Toothless: Wouldn't go that far. But he's got no love or loyalty for the Empire. We can tell you that.

Hiccup: He seems like our best bet. Let's go see him.

(They hear the large sound of a hatch door opening.)

Toothless: They've dumped their garbage.

Hiccup: Here we go. Stand by, Bud. Detach!

(Toothless detaches the landing claw and the Falcon unhinged from the back of the Star Destroyer which soon blasts off, leaving the Falcon alone with the garbage. Ruffnut smiles at Hiccup.)

Ruffnut: You fo have your moments. Not many, but you do have them.

(She gives him a kiss on the cheek. Hiccup blushes and smiles.)

Toothless: (chuckles and rolls his eyes) Oh, get a room, you two. (looks out the window) Oh, look. Space bums.

(They look out and see some homeless men wearing space helmets picking through the garbage.)

Hiccup: You know, let's be thankful for what we have, guys. Let's be thankful for what we have.

(They hear a bump on the side of the ship. Hiccup looks out to see.)

Hiccup: (panicking) Oh, crap, we hit a space bum! Toothless, go, go, go, go!

(They fire up the controls and take off. As they fly away from the large pile of floating garbage, a hunk of metal comes to life and follows after the Falcon. This piece of metal is a green, grey and brown colored round armored ship. In the cockpit, Heather Fett pilots it and keeps an eye on the Falcon as the follows close behind.)

Heather: (lsughs) They have no idea…

And so Heathers playing Boba Feet, most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy , was originally gonna cast Dagur for this, but though of another character he can play. And Big Hero 6's Wasabi is gonna portray Lando, crossover, bet you never saw that coming!

Until next time. Read and review.
