In the infirmary a medical droid buzzed about Luke, cleaning his wound with an antiseptic. The other young Jedi stood nearby watching as the droid applied glue to the wound to hold it shut while it healed. After letting it dry a few minutes, Luke flexed his arm to see how the glue had set. It held the wound shut firm and tight. He looked at the five Jedi.
"Jaina, you, Zekk, and Lowie get the 'Shadow Chaser' and 'Rock Dragon' ready for take off. We're going to follow Anakin."
"Yes, Uncle Luke," and she took Zekk and Lowie to prepare the ships for their journey. Luke motioned for Jacen and Tenel Ka to help him to his feet. Once standing, he told his plan. "Jacen and Tenel Ka, you're coming with me and R2 in the 'Shadow Chaser.' Jaina, Zekk, and Lowie will go in the 'Rock Dragon.' Since we don't know where their ship is headed, we'll have to find out who were dealing with, then go from there. We'll get some supplies together while Jaina and Zekk prepare the ships." The two young Jedi followed Luke as he exited the infirmary. Jacen noticed that he still swayed slightly on his feet, but he didn't say anything. There were more important things to worry about. He and Tenel Ka busied themselves collecting supplies and getting together any equipment they might need.
As Jaina and Zekk prepared the 'Rock Dragon' for take off, Jaina found herself wondering if Anakin was all right. If he was hurt.
"I'm sure he's okay," Zekke said, giving her a reassuring smile. "He's a good fighter, and he's smart."
"I hope you're right," she said. Just then Luke walked into the hangar, followed by Jacen and Tenel Ka. They were each carrying an armload of supplies. Luke boarded the 'Rock Dragon' and Lowie helped him with the supplies. Jacen and Tenel Ka took their armload of supplies to the 'Shadow Chaser.' Luke came on board and situated himself in the cockpit. He went through the chekclist and started the engine. "Strap yourselves in," he said. Luke and Tenel Ka obeyed. R2 beeped. "Ready?" Luke asked over the comlink. "Ready. Let's go find Anakin." He nodded and lifted the ship off the ground. The 'Rock Dragon' followed. Once they were past the New Republic Blockade, Luke gave the signal and the two ships disappeared into hyperspace.
The 'Millenium Falcon' came out of hyperspace just above Tatooine. As Han landed in the docking bay, he reviewed his plan with Chewbacca. After shutting the 'Falcon' down, he set off at a brisk pace toward the Mos Eisley Cantina. He hoped the person he was looking for would be there. As he entered the cantina his eyes swept over the room and spotted the person he was looking for. He ordered a glass of ale, then walked over to stand beside Boba Fett. "What do you want, Solo?" Fett asked without looking toward Han. "I want you to find my son. You're the best bounty hunter around and if anyone can find him, you can. I'll pay you well if you do." "How much?" Fett asked. "Four-thousand credits." "Five." "Four-fifty." "Deal." Han told him the details of Anakin's kidnapping. When he was finished he left the cantina feeling somewhat relieved.
Boba Fett sat in his cockpit waiting for any sign of a ship. Suddenly his censors picked up a craft coming through hyperspace. He fired up his lasers and shot.
During the trip through hyperspace, Luke concentrated on healing his wound with an old Jedi healing technique, as he sat in the pilot's chair. As Jacen and Tenel Ka sat in the cockpit, Jacen found himself thinking about Anakin and all the things that had happened to them over the years. "What's wrong?" Tenel Ka asked him. "I was just thinking about Anakin," he answered. "I..." Just then, an alarm went off. Luke looked up. "We're being fired upon," he said, surprised. The ship rocked as another blast of laser fire hit the ship. "Send out a distress call."
Another ship came out of hyperspace. Boba Fett fired at the new ship.
On the 'Rock Dragon' the comlink crackled. "We're under attack. Get ready to come out of hyperspace." Zekk waited and on Luke's signal brought the ship out of hyperspace. Suddenly, the ship was rocked violently. Jaina gasped as she recognized the ship that was firing on them. It was the 'Slave IV.'
Boba Fett was just about to fire a killing blow on the ship, when he recognized it. He shut his lasers down and jumped into hyperspace.
Jaina and Zekk braced themselves for the killing blow, but it never came. Instead, they watched as the 'Slave IV' shut its lasers down and jumped into hyperspace. Jaina starred at Zekk in astonishment. "What was Boba Fett doing here?" she asked. "And why didn't he kill us?"
"Jaina, you, Zekk, and Lowie get the 'Shadow Chaser' and 'Rock Dragon' ready for take off. We're going to follow Anakin."
"Yes, Uncle Luke," and she took Zekk and Lowie to prepare the ships for their journey. Luke motioned for Jacen and Tenel Ka to help him to his feet. Once standing, he told his plan.
