Sparks of Rebellion
Chapter 57: A New Hope Part 6
In Yavin 4...
Luke, Lisa and the others were greeted by the rebel troops as they rode into the massive temple on an armoured military speeder.
The military speeder stopped in a huge spaceship hangar, set up in the interior of the crumbling temple.
Willard, the commander of the Rebel forces, rushed up to the group and gives Leia a big hug.
Everyone were pleased to see the Alderaanian Princess and the former Queen of Naboo back safely.
"You're safe!"Willard remarked. "When we heard about Alderaan, we feared the worst."
"We have no time for sorrows, Commander."Leia declared. "You must use the information in this R2 unit to help plan the attack. It's our only hope."
Artoo let out a beep as Ezra walked forward and hugged Lisa.
"Lisa! You're back!"Ezra chuckled. "I thought you were captured."
"Come on, Ezra."Lisa replied with a smirk. "I am not the kind of person that will easily ever let herself get captured."
Ferus frowned and cleared his throat causing Ezra to let go of Lisa.
"We'll talk later."Ezra commented.
When Ezra walked away, Lisa walked up to Ferus and hugged him.
"Welcome back, Lisa."Ferus responded. "I glad your safe from harm."
"Thanks, dad."Lisa thanked and gestured Luke to come forward. "Dad, this is Luke. I met him in Tatooine."
Ferus' eyes widen a bit when he saw Luke.
The nineteen year old boy had the same blonde hair colour like Lisa, but his eyes were blue just like Anakin's.
"Hello there, Luke."Ferus responded with a small smile. "You look like your father."
"You knew my father, sir?"Luke asked.
"Of course."Ferus answered. "He...was an amazing Jedi and a good friend that people could've relied on. But you can call me Uncle Ferus. I am actually your mother's younger brother though I was adopted to the Naberrie family."
"Dad...Obi-Wan didn't-"Lisa started.
"I know, Lisa."Ferus finished. "I sensed it. Even when Alderaan was destroyed. But we'll save the rest of the conversation for later. We have a Death Star to destroy."
Nadia stared at Luke in silence as Zack and Gwen stood between her.
"So Padme gave birth to twins just like I did."Nadia thought and let out a weak chuckle. "It is quite sad that she would never know her own kids."
Nadia, Zack and Gwen then walked up to Ferus and Lisa to introduce themselves to Luke.
Meanwhile...
The surface of the Death Star ominously approached Yavin 4.
Grand Moff Tarkin and Lord Vader were interrupted in their discussion by the buzz of the comlink.
Tarkin moved to answer the call.
"Yes?"Tarkin asked.
"We are approaching the planet Yavin."the Intercom Voice declared. "The Rebel base is on a moon on the far side. We are preparing to orbit the planet."
In Yavin 4's War Room Briefing Area...
Dodonna stood before a large electronic wall display.
Leia, Lisa and several other senators were to one side of the giant readout with the Spectres, star pilots and navigators stood together.
Everyone were listening intently to what Dodonna was saying while Han and Chewbacca are standing near the back.
"The battle station is heavily shielded and carries a firepower greater than half the star fleet."Dodonna stated. "It's defenses are designed around a direct large- scale assault. A small one-man fighter should be able to penetrate the outer defence."
"Pardon me for asking, sir, but what good are snub fighters going to be against that?"Gold Leader asked.
"Well, the Empire doesn't consider a small one-man fighter to be any threat, or they'd have a tighter defense."Dodonna stated. "An analysis of the plans provided by Princess Leia has demonstrated a weakness in the battle station."
Artoo stood next to R2-KT, making beeping sounds and turning his head from right to left.
"The approach will not be easy."Dodonna declared. "You are required to maneuver straight down this trench and skim the surface to this point. The target area is only two meters wide. It's a small thermal exhaust port, right below the main port. The shaft leads directly to the reactor system. A precise hit will start a chain reaction which should destroy the station."
A murmer of disbelief runs through the room.
"Only a precise hit will set up a chain reaction."Dodonna admitted. "The shaft is ray- shielded, so you'll have to use proton torpedoes."
Both Luke and Lisa sat next to Wedge Antilles, a hotshot pilot about sixteen years old.
"That's impossible, even for a computer."Wedge commented.
"It's not impossible."Luke responded. "I used to bull's- eye womp rats in my T-sixteen back home. They're not much bigger than two meters."
"Man your ships!"Dodonna ordered. "And may the Force be with you!"
The group rose up and began to leave while Ferus walked up to Lisa.
"Lisa, please be careful out there."Ferus instructed.
"I'll be fine, dad."Lisa assured with a smile. "I am a strong pilot and so is Luke."
Lisa gives Ferus a kiss on the cheek before she went off to suit up and get to her X-wing.
In the Death Star...
Tarkin and Darth Vader watched the computer projected screen with interest, as a circle of lights intertwines around one another on the screen showing it's position in relation to Yavin and the forth moon.
"Orbiting the planet at maximum velocity."the Intercom Voice announced. "The moon with the Rebel base will be in range in thirty minutes."
"This will be a day long remembered."Darth Vader stated. "It has seen the end of Kenobi and it will soon see the end of the Rebellion."
The Sith Lord wondered if he should try to get to the surface and get his daughter off the moon.
If he didn't he would lose her, just like he lost-
Darth Vader immediately snapped away from the past memories in his mind and focused at the situation at hand.
In Yavin 4's Main Hangar Deck...
Luke and Lisa entered the spaceship hangar wearing orange pilot suits and hurried along a long line of gleaming space fighters with Threepio, Artoo and R2-KT.
Flight crews rush around loading last-minute armaments and unlocking power couplings.
The Skywalker twins find Han and Chewbacca loading small boxes onto an armoured speeder.
"All flight trooper, man your stations!"A man ordered in the loudspeaker. "All flight troops, man your stations!"
Han was ignoring the activity of the fighter pilots' preparation.
"So you got your reward and you're just leaving then?"Luke questioned.
"That's right, yeah."Han remarked. "I got some old debts I've got to pay off with this stuff. Even if I didn't, you don't think I'd be fool enough to stick around here, do you? Why don't the two of you come with us? You're both pretty good in a fight. We could use you."
"Come on, Solo. Why don't you take a look around?"Lisa scoffed with an irritated look. "You know what's about to happen, what they're up against. The rebellion could use a good pilot like you. How can you turn your back on them?"
"What good's a reward if you ain't around to use it, blondie?"Han asked. "Besides, attacking that battle station ain't my idea of courage. It's more like suicide."
"All right. Well, take care of yourself, Han."Luke responded. "I guess that's what you're best at, isn't it?"
"Hey, Luke, blondie!"Han called out causing the twins to look at him. "May the Force be with you!"
Then Luke and Lisa walked to their ships as Leia and Ferus came over to them and gave them both hugs.
"What's wrong?"Leia asked.
"It's Han."Luke said dejectedly. "I don't know, I really thought he'd change his mind."
"He's got to follow his own path, Luke."Ferus stated. "No one can choose it for him."
"I only wish Obi-Wan were here."Luke admitted.
Leia gives Luke a little kiss before she and Ferus go off.
"Open main launch tubes."the intercom voice ordered.
"Main launch tubes opening, sir."Another voice said.
"Hey, Luke!"A voice called out.
Biggs, Luke's friend from Tatooine came running up to them, the happiness in his voice evident on his face.
"Biggs!"Luke remarked happily.
"I don't believe it! How are you?"Biggs laughed.
Luke and Biggs clapped each other on the shoulders.
"Great!"Luke replied.
"Are you and Lisa going out with us?"Biggs asked.
"We'll be right up there with you and have I got stories to tell you."Luke admitted.
Lisa went up to side where her X-wing was, where Ezra was waiting for her and they share a kiss.
"Couldn't resist kissing me, Mr Bridger?"Lisa sneered.
"I can't help it."Ezra answered with a shy smile. "Your very beautiful, Lisa."
"Well, you better go back with the rest."Lisa insisted. "You don't want my dad form a search party to try and find you now, would you?"
"Whatever you say, Lisa."Ezra complemented.
Ezra gives Lisa one more kiss before heading off and the blonde haired girl climbed on board her X-Wing just as Red Leader came forward.
"Lisa, are you sure you can handle this?"Red Leader asked.
"Of course, I can."Lisa assured as she picked up her pilot helmet. "I've learned to pilot a ship since I was a small kid back in Naboo."
"And Sir, Luke is the best bush pilot in the outer rim territories."Biggs chuckled.
Red Leader patted Luke on the back as they stop in front of his X-Wing.
"If you're anything like Anakin Skywalker, your father, you'll do all right."Red Leader admitted. "I met him once during the Clone Wars when I was a boy."
"Thank you, sir."Luke answered. "I'll try."
"I gotta get aboard."Biggs commented as he ducked under the wings of Luke's ship. "We'll hear all your stories when we get back, all right?"
"All right."Luke replied. "Hey, Biggs. I told you I'd make it someday."
"It'll be like old times, Luke."Biggs remarked as he and Lisa placed on their helmets. "They'll never stop us."
Luke laughed and shakes his head in agreement before heading to his X-Wing.
R2-KT was placed on the socket of Lisa's X-Wing as the crew chief pointed to Artoo, who was being hoisted into a socket on the back of the fighter.
"This R2 unit of your seems a bit beat up."the chief complemented. "Do you want a new one?"
"Not on your life!"Luke retorted. "That little droid and I have been through a lot together!"
Luke looked at Artoo.
"You okay, Artoo?"Luke asked.
The crewmen lower Artoo into the craft as the blue white droid let out a beep.
Luke climbed up into the cockpit of his fighter and puts an his helmet.
Threepio looked on from the floor of the hangar as the crewmen secure his little electronic partner into Luke's X-wing.
"Okay, easy she goes!"the Chief called out.
"Hang on tight, Artoo, you've got to come back."Threepio instructed.
Artoo beeped in agreement.
"You wouldn't want my life to get boring, would you?"Threepio asked.
R2-KT let out a unhappy beep causing Lisa to lightly chuckle.
"You got nothing to fear, KT."Lisa mumbled and took a deep breath. "May the Force be with us."
Lisa started her X-Wing and all the ships left the hangar and the moon's atmosphere, disappearing into the morning cloud cover.
In the War Room...
Leia, Ferus, Nadia, Threepio and a field commander sat quietly before the giant display showing the planet Yavin and its four moons.
The red dot that represented the Death Star moved closer to the system while a series of green dots appear around the fourth moon.
"Stand-by alert. Death Star approaching."An intercom voice warned. "Estimated time to firing range, fifteen minutes."
"I hope they can do this, Uncle Ferus."Leia replied with a hint of worry.
"You have nothing to fear, Leia."Ferus assured. "The Force is strong with them. They will be alright."
Nadia looked at Ferus quietly, but didn't say anything.
In Space...
The Death Star slowly moves behind the massive yellow surface of Yavin in the foreground, as many X-wing fighters flying in formation zoom toward us and out of the frame.
Rebel fighters flew in formation settle ominously in the foreground and very slowly pull away.
"All wings, report in."Red Leader instructed.
"Red Ten standing by."
"Red Seven standing by."
"Red Three, standing by."Biggs responded.
"Red Six, standing by."
"Red Nine, standing by."
"Red Two, standing by."Wedge declared.
"Red Eleven, standing by."
"Red Four, standing by."Lisa answered.
"Red Five, standing by."Luke admitted.
Artoo and R2-KT let out a few beeps in respond.
"Lock S-foils in attack position."Red Leader ordered.
The group of X-Wing fighters move in formation toward the Death Star, unfolding the wings and locking them in the 'X' position.
"We're passing through their magnetic field."Red Leader warned. "Hold tight!"
Luke, Lisa and the other pilots adjusted their controls as they concentrated on the approaching Death Star.
"Switch your deflectors on."Red Leader ordered. "Double front!"
The fighters, now X-shaped darts, move in formation.
The Death Star now appeared to be a small moon growing rapidly in size as the Rebel fighters approached it.
"Look at the size of that thing!"Wedge exclaimed.
"Cut the chatter, Red Two."Red Leader ordered. "Accelerate to attack speed. This is it, boys and ma'am!"
As the fighters moved closer to the Death Star, the size of the gargantuan Imperial fortress was revealed.
Half of the deadly space station is in shadow and this area sparkles with thousands of small lights running in thin lines and occasionally grouped in large clusters; somewhat like a city at night as seen from a weather satellite.
"Red Leader, this is Gold Leader."Gold Leader spoke up.
"I copy, Gold Leader."Red Leader answered.
"We're starting for the target shaft now."Gold Leader commented.
"We're in position."Red Leader declared. "I'm going to cut across the axis and try and draw their fire."
Two squads of Rebel fighters peel off as the X-wings dived towards the Death Star surface.
The Rebel X-Wing fighters move in toward the Imperial base as the Death Star aimed its massive laser guns at the Rebel forces and fires.
"Heavy fire, boss!"Lisa warned with a frown. "Twenty degrees!"
"I see it."Red Leader answered. "Stay low."
The X-wings zoomed across the surface of the Death Star and continue in their attack course on the Death Star.
"This is Red Five, I'm going in!"Luke admitted.
"I'm right behind you, Red Five!"Lisa stated.
Lisa dodged a blaster bolt and she and Luke fired at certain spots on the Death Star.
"Luke! Lisa!"Biggs shouted. "Pull up!"
Both Luke and Lisa both braked sharply in tandem as an explosion went off.
"Are you guys all right?"Biggs asked.
"I got a little cooked, but I'm okay."Luke responded.
"I'm a bit shaken."Lisa commented. "But I'm okay."
The rebel fighters continued to strafe the Death Star's surface with laser bolts.
In the Death Star...
Stormtroopers and equipment were blown in all directions as Darth Vader calmly watched as one of his Astro Officers rushed up to him.
"We count thirty Rebel ships, Lord Vader."the Astro Officer admitted. "But they're so small they're evading our turbo-lasers!"
"We'll have to destroy them ship to ship."Darth Vader declared. "Get the crews to their fighters."
The Sith Lord sensed a familiar presence which made him realise Lisa was one of the pilots.
But the problem was it would be diffcult for him to capture her without destroying her X-Wing.
In Space...
"Watch yourselves!"Red Leader warned. "There's a lot of fire coming from the right side of that deflection tower."
"I'm on it."Luke answered.
"I'm going in."Biggs stated. "Cover me, Porkins."
"I'm right with you, Red Three."Porkins commented.
Porkins was having problems with his X-Wing.
"I got a problem here."Porkins warned.
"Porkins, you have to eject."Lisa instructed sharply.
"I can hold it!"Porkins admitted.
"Pull up!"Biggs demanded.
"No, I"m alright-AHH!"Porkins shouted.
Porkins tried to say before his ship was destroyed, but he was shot down by one of the deflection towers.
Lisa quickly made her X-Wing dodge as laser fire erupted from a protruding tower on the surface.
"Luke, Lisa, trust your feelings..."Obi-Wan's voice instructed.
Biggs dived through a forest of radar domes, antennae and gun towers as he shoot low across the Death Star surface.
This caused a dense barrage of laserfire streaks by all sides.
In the War Room...
Princess Leia surrounded by her generals and aides, paces nervously before a lighted computer table.
Dodonna, Ferus and Nadia watched quietly from one corner.
One of the officers working over a screen speaked into his headset.
"Squad leaders, we've picked up a new group of signals."the Control Officer admitted. "Enemy fighters coming your way."
"I sense the Dark Side."Nadia declared grimly.
Panic started to wash over on Ferus' face as he gritted his teeth.
"Oh no! Vader!"Ferus thought in fear. "Force protect Padme's children! I can't lost them too!"
In Space...
Luke looked around to see if he can spot the approaching Imperial fighters.
"My scope's negative."Luke complemented. "I don't see anything."
"Pick up your visual scanning."Red Leader ordered. "Here they come. With all this jamming, they'll be on top of you before your scope can pick them up."
Lisa looked out of the corner of her eye as TIE Fighters flew in a swoop down to them.
Judging from the coldness she was feeling in the Force, Darth Vader was in the main fighter.
"Just what we need."Lisa muttered sourly.
"Watch it!"Red Leader warned. "You got one on your tail!"
"I'm hit!"A pilot shouted.
The pilot got hit by a TIE fighter and his X-Wing was engulfed in flames.
"Biggs!"Luke shouted. "You've picked one up watch it!"
"I can't see it!"Biggs commented. "He's on me tight, I can't shake him!"
Biggs flew at high altitude, peels off and dived toward the Death Star surface, but he was unable to lose the TIE fighter, who sticked close to his tail.
Lisa fires a shot with her X-wing at the TIE fighter causing the enemy ship to explode in a mass of flames.
"Thanks, Lisa!"Biggs thanked.
"Don't mention it."Lisa chuckled.
In the Death Star...
Darth Vader strides purposefully down a Death Star corridor, flanked by Imperial stormtroopers.
"Several fighters have broken off from the main group."Darth Vader scowled. "Come with me!"
In the Death Star...
A concerned Princess Leia, Threepio, Ferus, Nadia, Dodonna and other officers of the Rebellion were listening to the Rebel Fighter's radio transmissions over the war room intercom.
"Fall in! Fall in! Watch your back, Luke!"Red Leader's voice demanded. "Watch your back! Fighters above you, coming in!"
"I can't shake him!"Luke shouted.
"Me and Lisa are on him, Luke!"Wedge admitted.
"Hold on!"Lisa instructed.
"Thanks, Wedge!"Luke thanked. "Thanks, Lisa!"
"Good shooting, Wedge and Lisa!"Biggs remarked.
In Space...
"This is Gold Leader."Gold Leader declared. "We're starting out attack run."
Lisa watched as three Y-wing fighters of the Gold group dive out of the stars toward the Death Star surface.
"I copy, Gold Leader."Red Leader replied. "Move into position."
"The exhaust post is marked and locked in!"Gold Leader admitted.
Gold Leader approached the surface and pulled out to skim the surface of the huge station.
The ship moved into a deep trench, firing laser bolts and laserfire was returned by the Death Star.
Lisa narrowed her eyes.
Darth Vader was probably in the middle since she felt the coldness in the Force and likely was trying to stop them from destroying the Death Star.
The blonde haired girl quickly focused back on the fighting and shut down two approaching TIE fighters.
"Switch power to front deflector screens."Gold Leader ordered.
Three Y-wing skim the Death Star surface deep in the trench, as laser bolts streak past on all sides.
An exterior surface gun blazes away at the oncoming Rebel fighters.
"How many guns do you think, Gold Five?"Gold Leader asked.
"I'd say about twenty guns."Gold Five responded. "Some on the surface, some on the towers."
In the Death Star...
Leia, Threepio, Ferus, Nadia and the technicians view the projected target screen as red and blue target lights glow.
The red target near the center blinked on and off.
"Death Star will be in range in five minutes."the Intercom Voice announced.
In Space...
The three Y-wing fighters race toward camera and zoom overhead through a hail of laserfire.
Gold Leader pulled his computer targeting device down in front of his eye.
"Switching to targeting computer."Gold Leader stated.
"Computer's locked."Gold Two answered. "Getting a signal."
As the fighters begin to approach the target area, suddenly all the laserfire stops. An eerie clam clings over the trench as the surface whips past in a blur.
"The guns…they've stopped!"Gold Two exclaimed.
"Stabilize your read deflectors."Gold Five ordered. "Watch for enemy fighters."
"They've coming in!"Gold Leader warned. "Three marks at two ten!"
Three TIE fighters, Darth Vader in the center flanked by two wingmen, dive in precise formation almost vertically toward the Death Star surface.
Then the three TIE fighters zoom across the surface of the Death Star.
Vader lines up Gold Two in his targeting computer and his hands grip the control stick as he pressed the button.
The Sith Lord's attack hits Gold Two's ship and it exploded.
Gold Leader looked over his shoulder at the scene and the three TIE fighters race along in the trench in a tight formation.
"I can't maneuver!"Gold Leader protested.
"Stay on target!"Gold Five instructed.
"We're too close!"Gold Leader warned. "Loosen up!"
Darth Vader calmly adjusted his targeting computer and pushesdthe fire button and Gold Leader's ship was hit by his attack.
Luke and Lisa looks over their shoulder sat the action outside of their cockpits.
"Gold Five to Red Leader…"Gold Five started. "Lost Tiree, lost Dutch."
"I copy, Gold Five."Red Leader responded.
"They came from behind…"Gold Five started.
One of the engines explodes on Gold Five's Y-wing fighter, blazing out of control.
Gold Five dived past the horizon toward the Death Star's surface, passing a TIE fighter during his descent and spun toward his death.
Overcoming the loss of the Gold Group, Lisa put her mind back on the battle and reached out with the Force to carefully use it.
"Red Group, this is Red Leader."Red Leader replied. "Rendezvous at mark six point one."
"This is Red Two."Wedge said. "Flying toward you."
"Red Three, standing by."Biggs declared.
"And this is Red Four."Lisa responded. "We're all here, Red Leader."
"Red Leader, this is Base One."Dodonna's voice answered. "Keep half your group out of range for the next run."
"Copy, Base One. Luke, Lisa, take Red Two and Three."Red Leader ordered. "Hold up here and wait for my signal…to start your run. This is it."
"Alright."Lisa responded.
Luke nodded in respond.
The X-wing fighters of Luke, Lisa, Biggs and Wedge flew in formation high above the Death Star's surface.
"We should be able to see it by now."Red Ten complemented.
From the cockpits of the Rebel pilots, the surface of the Death Star streaks by, with Imperial laserfire shooting toward them.
"Keep your eyes open for those fighters!"Red Leader warned.
"There's too much interference!"Red Ten argued.
Three X-wing fighters move in formation down the Death Star trench.
"Red Five, can you see them from where you are?"Red Ten asked.
Luke looked down at the Death Star surface below.
"No sign of any…"Luke started and then got alarmed. "Wait! Coming in point 35."
"I see them."Red Nine answered.
Three TIE fighters, Darth Vader flanked by two wingmen, dive in a tight formation.
Red Leader pulled his targeting device in front of his eyes and makes several adjustments.
"I'm in range."Red Leader said.
Red Leader's X-wing moved up the Death Star trench.
"Target's coming up!"Red Leader warned. "Just hold them off for a few seconds!"
The three TIE fighters move in formation across the Death Star surface.
Red Leader lines up his target on the targeting device cross hairs.
Darth Vader and his wingmen zoomed down the trench, approaching the two X-wings of Red Ten and Red Twelve.
The Sith Lord's laser cannon flashed below the view of the front porthole.
Red Twelve's X-wing fighter was hit by Vader's laserfire and it exploded into flames against the trench.
Red Ten worked at his controls furiously, trying to avoid Vader's fighter behind him.
"You'd better let her loose!"Red Ten warned. "They're right behind me!"
"Almost there!"Red Leader declared.
"I can't hold them!"Red Ten protested.
Vader and his wingmen whip through the trench in pursuit of the Rebel fighters.
Darth Vader's well-aimed laserfire strikes Red Ten's ship and it bursts into flames.
Grimly, Red Leader takes careful aim and watches his computer targeting device, which shows the target lined up in the cross hairs and fired.
"It's away!"Red Leader yelled out.
"It's a hit!"Red Nine exclaimed.
A fireball came up from the surface, but the station stayed in place.
"Negative."Red Leader ansered. "It didn't go in. It just impacted on the surface."
Lisa watched as Red Leader get ambushed by Vader and his squadron.
"Red Leader, we're right above you."Luke admitted. "Turn to point 05, we'll cover for you."
"Stay there."Red Leader ordered. "I just lost my starboard engine. Get set to make your attack run."
Lisa gasped in shock as Vader fired at Red Leader's ship and she hears him scream and gets destroyed.
"Luke, Biggs, Wedge, let's close it up."Lisa instructed calmly. "We're going in. We're going in full throttle. That'll keep those fighters off our back."
"Right with you, Lisa."Wedge answered.
The four X-wings dive toward the Death Star.
"Luke, at that speed will you be able to pull out in time?"Biggs asked.
"It'll be just like Beggar's Canyon back home."Luke remarked.
"I never done that, Luke."Lisa admitted. "But I'll take your word for it."
The four X-wings move in, unleashing a barrage of laser fire and the Death Star returned the laser bolts.
"We'll stay back far enough to cover you!"Biggs admitted.
"My scope shows the tower, but I can't see the exhaust port."Wedge explained anxiously. "Are you sure the computer can hit it?"
The blasters went off and no one answered his question.
"Watch yourself."Luke instructed. "Increase speed, full throttle."
"What about that tower?"Wedge asked.
"You, Lisa and Biggs worry about those fighters!"Luke ordered. "I'll worry about the tower!"
Luke's X-wing streaks through the trench and fired lasers at it.
"Why the guns haven't stopped?"Lisa questioned.
Lisa closed her eyes as she stretched out with the Force to see the exhaust port.
Luke broke into a nervous sweat as the laserfire is returned, knicking one of his wings close to the engine.
"Artoo that stabilizer's broken loose again!"Luke protested. "See if you can't lock it down!"
Artoo worked to repair the damages, the canyon wall rushed by in the background, making his delicate task seem even more precarious.
Two laser cannons continued firing on the Rebel fighters.
Wedge looked up and sees the TIE ships as Luke's targeting device marked off the distance to the target.
Lisa froze when Vader and his wingmen zoomed closer and the Sith Lord fired laserbolts at two X-Wings flew down the trench, scoring a direct hit on Wedge.
"I'm hit!"Wedge shouted. "I can't stay with you!"
"Get clear, Wedge."Luke instructed. "You can't do any more good back there!"
"Sorry!"Wedge apologised.
Wedge pulled his crippled X-wing back away from the battle.
"Hurry, Luke and Lisa!"Biggs warned. "They're coming in much faster this time! I can't hold them!"
The three TIE fighters move ever closer, closing in on Luke, Lisa and Biggs.
Luke and Lisa accelerated their speed.
"R2, try and increase the power."Luke ordered.
"You try as well, KT."Lisa instructed.
Both Artoo and R2-KT beeped as they struggled to increase the power of the pilots' X-Wings.
"Hurry up, Luke! Lisa!"Biggs called out. "Quick!"
Vader and his wingmen raced through the Death Star trench.
Biggs moved in to cover for Luke and Lisa, but Darth Vader gained on him.
Vader squeezed the fire button on his controls.
Biggs' cockpit exploded and his destroyed ship scattered across the surface.
In the War Room...
Leia, Ferus, Dodonna and the others stared at the computer board after Biggs' death.
In Space...
Luke was stunned by Biggs' death as anger boiled inside him.
"Looks like it's up to us, Luke."Lisa declared as she drowned her grief.
"We can do this, Lisa!"Luke assured. "Come on!"
Luke and Lisa increased the speed of their X-Wings and headed down the trench.
Darth Vader watched the last two pilots as they went down the trench causing him to sense a familiar presence in one of the X-Wings.
The Sith Lord then sensed another presence, making him realise it was the untrained boy that had rescued the princess with Lisa.
Knowing his daughter, she was going to be noble and try to protect the pilot from being hit.
"The Force is strong with this one."Darth Vader commented.
Luke lines up the yellow cross-hair lines of the targeting device's screen. He looks into the targeting device, then starts at a voice he hears.
"Use the Force, Luke."Obi-Wan's voice instructed. "Let go, Luke."
A grim determination sweeps across Luke's face as he closed his eyes and started to mumble Obi-Wan's training to himself.
Luke's X-Wing streaked through the trench as Vader followed him and his sister down the trench.
Luke looks to the targeting device, then away as he hears again Obi-Wan's voice.
"Luke, trust me."Obi-Wan's voice ordered.
Luke's hand reached for the control panel and presses the button causing the targeting device to move away.
"Luke, you switched off your targeting computer."Ferus' voice responded. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing."Luke assured. "I'm all right."
R2-KT beeped in worry as she moved her head from side to side.
The three TIE fighters, manned by Vader and his two wingmen, followed Luke and Lisa's X-wings down the trench.
A shot nearly rocked her out of Lisa's flight pattern, but it hit Artoo causing the droid to scream.
"I've lost Artoo!"Luke shouted.
Lisa winced a little when she felt her X-Wing getting shot from behind.
"Crud!"Lisa cursed as she gritted her teeth. "My torpedoes are damaged!"
Darth Vader adjusted his control sticks, checking his projected targeting screen and his targeting computer swings around into position.
The Sith Lord takes careful aim on Luke's X-wing fighter.
"I have you now."Darth Vader declared.
Lisa looked back in panic as the Sith Lord's ship got closer, just in time to see one of the TIE fighters at his side is hit and explode into flames.
The Skywalker twins looked back, wondering whose laser fire destroyed Vader's wingman.
Darth Vader was taken by surprise and looked out from his cockpit.
"What?!"Darth Vader demanded.
"Yahoo!"Han's voice rang out.
The Millennium Falcon heads right at the two TIE fighters.
"Solo!"Lisa chuckled in relief. "He came back!"
Vader's wingman panicked at the sight of the oncoming pirate starship and veered radically to one side, colliding with Vader's TIE fighter in the process.
The remining TIE fighter wingman crashed into the side wall of the trench and exploded.
The Sith Lord's damaged ship spun out of the trench with a damaged wing before he spins out of control with a bent solar fin, heading for deep space.
The Millennium Falcon moved in toward the Death Star trench.
"You're all clear, kid!"Han encouraged. "Now let's blow this thing and go home!"
"Go on, Luke!"Lisa remarked. "Do it now!"
Luke looked up and smiled before he concentrated on the exhaust port, then fired his laser torpedoes.
The boy's torpedoes shoot toward the port and seems to simply disappear into the surface and not explode.
But the shots do find their mark and have gone into the exhaust port and were heading for the main reactor.
Three X-wings, a Y-wing and the pirate ship immediately began racing toward Yavin in the distance.
The Rebel ships race out of sight, leaving the Death Star alone against a blanket of stars.
Soon after the rebel ships flew away, the Death Star bursted into a supernova and was destroyed in space.
"Great shot, kid!"Han chuckled. "That was one in a million!"
"Luke that was amazing!"Lisa cheered. "Mum and dad would be so proud of you!"
Luke sighed in relief as he closed his eyes.
"Remember the Force will be with you and Lisa…always."Obi-Wan's voice admitted.
The Rebel ships race toward the fourth moon of Yavin.
Luke and Lisa left their X-wings as technicians and other members of the Rebel Alliance came running into the hangar with loud cheers.
"Luke!"Leia called out. "Lisa!"
Leia rushed toward Luke and Lisa to hug them in joy as Ferus watched the sight with a warm smile.
"Your kids are amazing, Padme."Ferus thought. "All three of them."
"Hey!"Han laughed as he ran into the hangar. "Hey!"
"I knew you'd come back!"Luke remarked. "I just knew it!"
"Well, I wasn't gonna let you get all the credit and take all the reward."Han sneered.
Han ran to the three siblings to hug first Luke, then Lisa and lastly Leia.
"Hey, I knew there was more to you than money."Leia laughed lightly.
"I honestly thought he would leave us."Lisa commented with a smirk. "Guess I was wrong."
Lisa's smile vanished when she saw how badly damaged and fried Artoo got from Vader's shot.
"Oh, no!"Luke gasped.
Artoo was lifted off the back of Luke's X-Wing fighter and carried off under the worried eyes of Threepio.
"Oh, my! Artoo! Can you hear me? Say something!"Threepio begged before looking at Zack and Gwen. "You can repair him, can't you?"
"We'll get to work on him right away."Zack assured.
"No need to worry."Gwen commented.
Zack and Gwen took Artoo away to repair him as R2-KT and Chopper beeped quietly at their friend.
"You must repair him!"Threepio insisted before looking at Luke. "Sir, if any of my circuits or gears will help, I'll gladly donate them."
"He'll be all right."Luke responded.
Ezra suddenly lifted Lisa off her feet to hug her.
"Next time let me help out, okay?"Ezra insisted.
"Yeah."Lisa chuckled. "But lets hope there will be a next time to do that again."
Ferus moved forward to separate the couple causing Nadia to grab his shoulder and smirk.
"Don't even think about it."Nadia replied smugly.
"Ugh."Ferus scowled in annoyance. "Fine."
Afterwards...
Luke, Han and Chewbacca entered the huge ruins of the main temple as hundreds of troops were lined up in neat rows.
At the far end stood Leia dressed in a long white dress with her brown braided in a beautiful ponytail with Lisa at her side.
Lisa wore a blue dress while the underdress was a slinky light blue garment with a low neckline. Over this she wore an open royal blue coat with a wide lapel and simple motifs. The collar of this was a light blue, stiff and tall resembling the petals of a flower. The hems of the wide sleeves were of stiff lace. Her blonde hair was drawn back behind her head in a kind of bun then the remainder was pulled up into a pair of swirls above her head, accented with a small hair clip.
Luke, Han and Chewbacca solemnly marched up the long aisle and kneel before Senator Leia and Lisa while Artoo, R2-KT and Chopper stood next to Threepio.
Dodonna and several other dignitaries sat on the left of Leia and Lisa while on the right side stood Ferus, Nadia, Zack, Gwen, Ezra, Hera, Zeb and Sabine.
Leia rose and placed a gold medallion around Han's neck, who winked at her.
Lisa does the same with Luke, who was moved by the event.
Luke and Han turn around to look at the crowd of troopers, who began cheering at them loudly at their victory of destroying the Death Star.
Yay! The rebels won the Battle of Yavin!
What will happen next?
