This chapter starts out in
the Star Wars universe, then goes back to Earth
Death Star 2
Amanda, Mark, Laura, Jaclyn,
Cornelia, and Lissy were together again. It was the same day (as the previous episode) and it happened to be
right after school. We saw each other
for a brief moment before we prepared to leave that day. Remember, we planned to meet about that
strange guy.AS we were talking, we heard a strange noise like someone walking
with tin cans tied to their feet, so we dove into a classroom to await that
feat. We didn't want to see that person
stupid enough to do that!....
The events to be
described now are going to be in a little past...a sort of a flash back. A man is standing in front of a group whom
he was the leader of. He called his
group the Maurders. He turned to his
left to face one of his top advisors.
"Magg," the leader whom you
don't know his name yet said, "remember give me the name of the person you
switched the you know who with."
Magg had been prepared for this and he held out a note cards that
was sort of faded to his master, saying, "Here you go, Mr. Idiot."
Now the leader's name has been revealed to you: his name: Mr. Idiot. Mr. Idiot glanced at
the names, nodded and was about to go off, but abruptly turned again to
Magg.
"Now Magg, he was saying,
remember you are to take care of our side while I am gone. Do not disappoint me! Or you will be dealt with upon my return!"
Then he turned all the way
around to see another of his advisors.
"Mr. Piggeo," says Mr.
Idiot, " remember, you are to close the doorway immediately upon my return to
this world so's not to let anyone through the doorway, especially not her! That would sure ruin everything! We just couldn't have that now could we?"
" NO, sir!" answers Mr.
Piggeo.
MR. Piggeo is extremely
fat! The fattest man in the known
galaxy. And with that, Mr. Idiot turned
and went on his own journey: to find a
certain kid...Mr. Idiot had a bag of items along with much, much more. He had his bright orange, favorite outfit
along, plus his tin cans to tie to his feet. Now, 2 days later, back to us. So, we hear a noise and hide. But we are just lucky enough to see that man we had seen only earlier
that day, only now he was in a suit and
actually looked semi-decent. The school
superintend was also there and it was soon apparent that that man was
interviewing for the position of school janitor, since our last one had quit
working after apparently nothing at all. But we all knew the truth: there
was blood and pieces of horns scattered around that had scared off the old
one...along with dead rats. We were
beginning to think that this guy interviewing wasn't so bad after all...but
then again, you never know. By the end
of the meeting after those two had left we conferred quietly with each other
and concluded we'd just better keep an eye on this guy...
The next several stories
will take place in the Star Wars universe. I'll let you know when it's back to Earth
We were still in that room. We had just heard a very interesting and strange
conversation: "All right," says the
superintend, "you seem to have met all the job qualifications for this
job. You are hired and can begin work
as soon as Monday!" With that Mr. Idiot
and the superintend walked out after turning around so they weren't walking
backwards. (Thought I should mention
that because Mr. Idiot would be the type that might walk backwards.) That is when the 3 of us decided we should
keep an eye on him...Just in case!
Anyway, in another place and
what would seem like another time if you didn't know in reality it was the same
time, some Ewoks were gathered on a planet called Endor. Their job: To protect the queen of the Old Republic. The Empire and the Maurders must not know of this. A meeting was to be held on Endor, A meeting
about what to do about the Empire. They
are considering about what their Rebellion can do trying to get their freedom
back. It had been almost 20 years since
the galaxy was free. That is a long
time. Gwydion Jedi, Sally Jedi, Tim
Jedi, Caspian Jedi, and Beru Skywalker are the only ones that know Queen
Samantha Jedi is still alive. It is a
secret kept from everyone else. Oh,
forgot the Ewoks who also know! Gwydion
and Caspian are Samantha's adopted brothers. Beru is Samantha's adopted sister. Tim and Sally are Samantha's parents. There are others in the Rebellion as well. But those are the people traveling between Endor and Alderaan to
talk to Samantha because Samantha must remain on Endor. During the meeting, Gwydion said he knew of
a person by the name of Dash Corta who is a Rebel that could go undercover and
try and figure out what the Maurders were up to. It was obvious something was up with them! They all agreed that that was a sound
plan. After that, the meeting broke up
and people would go and talk to Samantha individually, since they couldn't see
her too often to try to make sure the Maurders and the Empire didn't grow too
suspicious. So, the people talked to
her until there
were
two left to talk with: Gwydion and
Beru. Since e they were in a line,
Gwydion was next.
"So," says Gwydion who
shared a secret with her that few others knew about, "do you think there's any
hope left for finding your kids."
"I don't know,
Gwydion," she said. "Obi-Wan never came
back. Got no news. Apparently neither did my ex. We would have heard had they did. I think we should give up the search. They are gone, Gwydion...I don't like to
admit it, but I'm going to have to."
Gwydion nodded. They finished their conversation and Gwydion
walked off. Beru was next in line.
"Hey Samantha, your
majesty. I wish this meeting could have
lasted longer! I swear! I'll have to go back to my stupid little
family. I mean I love Owen and
everything, it's his nephew I can't stand. That boy, that nephew is so stupid! I have to hit him to make him understand anything! I'm just glad he's no blood related to me in
any way! Only by marriage! His stupid parents just had to die during
the Clone Wars!"
"Beru, a lot of people
died then. A lot of people lost their
parents during that. You don't know how
lucky you are. At least you have a
child to come home to while I don't!"
Samantha started
crying. Beru felt embarrassed. They finished their conversations and Beru
prepared to go back home, although she didn't want to.
Beru,
who has just talked with the Queen of the Rebellion (Samantha) and is now ready
to go back to her house. She climbed in
her ship and sealed the door.
"Wow," said Beru. "That meeting was just
too short!"
She started the engine of her rented
ship. Beru started thinking of her
"family". Actually it was more like her
husband and his family. You see, she lives on the desert planet called
Tatooine. Her husband, named Owen is a
moisture farmer. And the next part she
regrets deeply. She also lives with
Owen's nephew, a young boy who is 18. She doesn't even know who his parents are. All she knows is he is Owen's brother's kid. Tatooine, the planet most of the Banthas
roam. Anyway, she is about to make the
jump to lightspeed when she notices an incoming message on her message
board. She turns the switch to on.
"Beru, my dear,
a request for a shipment I hadn't expected them in today. We have enough containers now to put our
items out to sell. I believe there is a
costumer on The Blue Waters of Morva. Can you fly Luke over there to deliver the items?"
Beru realizes it is Owen's voice and says,
"of course, dear."
So, she continues her flight home after putting
the ship into lightspeed. Tatooine was
towards the edge of the galaxy, but being in light speed, it didn't matter too
much. In about 3 hours she came out of
lightspeed. Now she was within 10 miles
of the stopping point that she would have to give her landing clearance access
codes. A voice once again came over the
ship.
"You are within
landing distance of the Planet Tatooine. Please enter. Stormtroopers will
be waiting to check your ship and you. You may proceed now.
And she did. She landed it just fine. Meanwhile, the boy named Luke Skywalker was in class. The school day is about to be over. Luke is very nice, handsome, and smart, but
no one recognizes any of these things. Most of the people in his grade are snots and are jealous of him. Especially Luke Elliot Skywalker. You see "Skywalker" is a very common
name. It's so common that there are at
least 50 of them in the school! Luke
Elliot is like the most popular guy in school. He and his group of friends (which is mostly the whole school) make fun
of Luke and are extremely mean and they also make up rumors. Luke has only two friends, named Joseph
Reynolds and Biggs Darklighter. Anyway,
Luke is in history class (sound familiar) with unfortunately Luke Elliot in it
and not Joseph. Luke's family is poor,
which doesn't help when other kids make fun of him. Anyway, Luke goes to school on the Coruscant…his family is so
poor that they had to send him there instead of the one on Tatooine. Anyway, school let out that day and Luke had
to go over by the other students to wit for a transport ship to drop him off at
his planet. He was the only one in his
class. Everyone else could fly ships
and he couldn't and they made fun of him for that, too. Luke goes back to his house after being picked
up by that transport. He had his
family's landspeeder waiting by Mos Eisley where he got off. He went as fast as he could to his
farm. He wanted to see as few Banthas,
sandpeople, and Jawas as possible. Especially Banthas! They are
just too nasty! Anyway, he made it to his house. Luke stepped out and ran over to his dad.
"Dad, hey I'm
back from school. I..."
His dad cut him
off by saying, "Luke, there's something I've been meaning to tell you..."
But Luke
interrupted his dad once more by saying, "Dad, all the other kids can fly
ships. They're bugging me about
it. Why won't you let me? What is it you have to tell me?"
Owen sighed. "Luke," he began.
Then Beru walked in and Owen looked up as
Luke came in. Owen stopped.
"Come, I have to talk to you in my room."
Owen pulled Luke along until they are
alone...
"Listen
here and listen good. You are now 18,
which I think is old enough to...now just wait...to know the truth."
Luke stared at his dad in silence. But he couldn't hold it back.
"But Dad, what are
you talking about?"
"Luke, all these years, for all these years
we've lied to you. My wife and I."
Luke looked at him weirdly.
"And," Owen
continued, "Beru and I, well Beru and I...well...ah.... I'm not your dad. Beru isn't your mother."
Luke burst out with
"What?!"
"Luke, I'm your uncle and Beru is your aunt."
"You're lying."
Luke said not believing what his "dad" was
telling him.
"No, Luke, I'm afraid
I'm not. I wish I was."
"Why have you lied to me all these
years? Why do I live with you? What about my parents?"
Owen held up hid hand.
"Hold on, slow down,
Luke. First off you weren't old enough
to know the truth. Now, I don't want that
many people knowing this especially the Empire. They might..."
Owen stopped. He realized he might have said too
much. Luke didn't notice anything, so
Owen continued, "I'm not sure I should have told you now." Owen sighed before going on, the answers to
your last two questions fit together. You live with us because your father and I were closer then he and
Rhun. Your parents are both dead."
Luke stared at his uncle once again. Then he opened his mouth and was about to
say something when Beru entered.
Owen said, "just a
minute, Luke."
Owen quickly turned to Beru and said, "Beru,
Luke and I are having a private conversation, please leave us."
Beru then left. AS soon as Owen showed he was ready to listen once more, Luke
said, "how how did my parents die? What
were their names?"
"Luke, your dad's name was A...Alex
Skywalker and your mothers name was.... uh.... Demetre."
Owen looked away.
"They were both
killed during the Clone
Wars. Shot down and killed by mistake. Your father was a navigator on a space
freighter and it was accidentally shot down. Your mother was on it, too."
"Why wasn't
I?"
"Luke, luckily you weren't, ah because you had just
been born and they didn't want you up in space and so they took you here and we
baby-sat you."
"If my
father was a navigator, then why can't I fly? Why won't you let me?"
"Your
father was a terrible pilot, Luke! That
terribleness is inherited. Your father
could have avoided being killed had he been a decent pilot! I don't want you getting killed. I love you too much!"
"But can't
I just try?"
"NO! Now no more talk about this. I have a delivery I want you to make for a
new customer. On The Blue Waters of
Morva. The address is there. Beru will take you. Shouldn't take you long. Now, get going on
it. Here's the address."
Luke took
the note card from his uncle's outstretched arms. He was not looking particularly forward to going with his
aunt. He had always thought she was his
mother. She hit him and abused him in a
whole bunch of ways and Owen didn't know. Luke sighed, boarded the spaceship, and sat in a passenger seat. His aunt soon followed. When she had started the ship and they were
well on their way, Luke broke the silence that had been there.
"He told me the truth."
Beru glanced
at him.
"What did he say?
He told me you were
My aunt and he was my
uncle."
"Did he tell you your parents names:"
Beru
asked with interest. She had disliked
Luke since they got him.
"Yes. Alex and Demetre Skywalker."
Beru nodded and looked satisfied. They neared the planet. Meanwhile, a
middle-aged man was waiting for his supplies.
Now
this middle-aged man happened to be a great man, in his day. It was over for him now. His glorious days! It ended the day the Emperor came to power, the day the Empire
cam into being. That seemed like too
long ago to the man named Arawn. Meanwhile Luke and his aunt Beru were getting closer to the planet as
the seconds passed.
Just as they
were about to Land, Luke faced his aunt and asked, "Why would someone live way
out here. I didn't even know anyone
lived here. "
"I don't know, Luke," Beru said simply.
She didn't particularly like Luke. (As I have already told you, but I didn't
give my reason yet.) Beru had four
children of her own. They were named as
follows: Gryvonbarf, Taran, Eilonwy,
and Shanna. Gryvonbarf was given to
Owen's brother (whom Beru doesn't know the name of and has never met. But guaranteed she would recognize the
name...) because Owen and she had gone through a rough time during the Clone
Wars at the time Gryvonbarf was born. Owen fought in the Wars and they wanted to provide their son with a good
home in case Owen got killed. Gryvonbarf wasn't seen again. Gryvonbarf was the youngest. Taran and Eilonwy are twins. Both disappeared, assumed dead. Then came Shanna and she also disappeared and assumed to be dead. Luke is not hers, yet he survived and that's
why she hates him so much. Just thought
you needed to understand all that so you know why she doesn't like Luke. Anyway, back to Arawn. Now Arawn is thinking about the things I
told you about earlier in this story before I switched scenes to Luke and
Beru. Arawn was thinking about these
things as he often did. Arawn often
thought also of his adopted son (Dash Corta.) Also, he thought of his daughter. She had been missing for years. There was no way to get her back now. Arawn works for the Empire, in a way. He can't directly. He works for
the Emperor's top servant, Darth Vader. Now Arawn had never liked Vader, but he was in it for the money, so he
tolerated Darth Vader. It was a secret
that was kept from the Emperor. A deal
made long ago between himself and Vader. Arawn had worked for the Emperor once...before the Emperor was the
Emperor...until that day. Arawn had
failed the Emperor under strict circumstances on a secret job...and he lost
everything because of the failure. He
is now on the Emperor's most wanted list, but the Emperor had dropped him 10
years ago because the Emperor assumed Arawn was dead. Boy, if the Emperor only knew! He had once been in Darth Vader's position. He was there when he failed. Secretly, Arawn was glad he had failed. Thanks to Obi-Wan he had half-failed ant the other half he had failed
thanks to the others...Suddenly Arawn looked up and was forced out of his
thoughts. Two people were headed his
way. Luke once more attempted a
question at his aunt.
"Why would
anyone live this far out?"
"Shut up, Luke. We are approaching our new customer."
And indeed she was right. Just ahead of them sat Arawn. Arawn stood up to greet hem. Luke ducked by a branch that was in his
path. Beru had purposely made him walk
that path, taking the nicer side of the very narrow path. AS they stood there and were about to do
business, another group of people were doing Business on the opposite side off
the galaxy, at the Empire's capital...
This other group
of people that is discussing business is called The Empire. They were holding their meeting in the
smallest discussion room. It's right
next to the Emperor's throne room. The
Emperor, sitting at the far end of the extremely large room is staring at his
group of people. The Emperor is
impatiently waiting for one of his feature members to show. His name: Darth Vader. The side back door
opened and in walked Darth Vader. Vader
took his place.
"Sorry I'm
late."
Vader walked
weird and a person could hear his breathing from all corners of the room he was
in. Vader then remembered something and
stood up and saluted the Emperor.
" I have done as
you asked, my master. Mr. Idiot was
indeed in that other dimension. I
disguised myself as a high school gym teacher. You were correct, Mr. Idiot did come. I pretended I was Mr. Siesel. I
hid the real Mr. Siesel in a locked up monkey cage. I stayed there for years, as you told me to do. I saw Mr. Idiot, he did not know it was I,
but 3 girls from the gym class and their friend hated me. I think they might have suspected
something."
The Emperor
looked at Vader thoughtfully.
"What were their names?"
Vader looked back at his "master", then
replied, "Jaclyn, Lissy, Kristen, and Marcella."
"Hmm," said the Emperor as he pondered about
what his servant had just told all of them.
Vader said, "I
had a crush on all of them, especially Jaclyn and Lissy. I had strange love feelings towards
them. I especially liked Lissy. Gryvon, I think you could do well to settle
for one of the others."
Gryvon looked up in surprise. Gryvon was Vader's nephew, although Gryvon
didn't know his last name!
"Were they good
looking?"
"Yes, they were
all the most beautiful girls I've ever seen except for..."
Gwythaint Hate
flew in. (Gwythaint Hate's the leader
of the Gwythaints.) The Banthas came booming
in. The Leader, Mr. Bantha on 3
legs. Vader smiled under his mask.
"And I haven't
told you the best part yet, one of them is here!"
The Emperor just
stared at Vader in amazement, in total shock. At the same time as all of this, on the planet of Tatooine, Owen is
sitting by his front door, taking a short break from a hard day's work when a
man and his wife sneaked up behind Owen. Owen, sitting there, suddenly heard a loud shout, sounding right into
his ear! He whirled around to see the
face of a man he once knew...but couldn't quite place. Somehow that face had changed from the last
time he had seen it. The man had
screamed right into Owen's ear.
"Hello,
brother. Sorry, I didn't meant to scare
you there."
At once Owen knew who faced him: His older brother Rhun and his wife Marion.
"Rhun, it's been forever..."
"I know," said Rhun, "I thought I'd come back
and see how the old family is doing. Say, old Anakin's not around, is he?"
Owen took a deep breath, then said, "I guess
it's really been a long time. "No,"
(shaking his head), "Anakin is...well, how should I put this, I guess you could
say he's dead...R. But, it's great to
see you again!"
Marion was then introduced to Owen.
"Listen, Beru is out
with my...well you'll see. They'll be
back soon."
You see Rhun had always liked Owen, but
their other brother, Anakin he had hated and couldn't stand the site of. Rhun and Marion had had two kids together.
Rhun says, "dad should be coming, as should
our daughters."
Riana and Nicole Skywalker were their
names. Anyway, the same time as all
this, we must venture to the Planet Dagobath. A creature whose name and species were the same. The last of them, Yoda was. He loved his swampy homeland. He had lived and trained Jedi there for the
past 800 years, except for the past 18. Yoda was just sitting there, meditating, when he felt a presence of one
he knew well. He opened his eyes and
looked up. Obi-Wan Kenobi was standing
there. Obi-Wan was not looking forward
to this, but he thought it had been long enough. They had last seen each other 18 years ago. They had been friends for years. But that had changed.
"Yoda, I came here after all these
years. I'm sorry, I really am. What happened was my fault, and my fault
alone. I tried...and failed."
Yoda said, " I thought you were dead. You should have come back and at least told
me you're alive. And what about them."
"That was my second failure, my teacher. The Maurders got them and Palpatine's people
got their hands on them, I tried to stop them, but I'm afraid I probably failed;
the Emperor didn't kill them because the Maurders were also there. I don't know what happened. All I know is I fought with two people that
night...I must go now, back to Tatooine. I just thought you should know those things."
And with that Obi-Wan turned and left,
leaving Yoda alone, once again. At the
same time, on Endor, the Rebel meeting has just broken up; an Ewok who is
Samantha's best friend and personal bodyguard is looking for her. He knows there was a meeting. At the same time, on a different section of
Tatooine, the Bantha's are gathered. Mr. Bantha is the leader. The
Banthas all work for the Empire, but since Mr. Bantha is at the Imperial
meeting, Mr. Bantha's wife (Mrs. Bantha) must take over. The other import out Bantha's are as
follows: Bantha, Bantha Bob, Bantha
Stephanie, (the Emperor's wife), Bantha Joe, Bantha Long Hair, Fat Bantha,
Preppie Bantha, Wild Bantha, and of course Mr. and Mrs. Bantha. On a far off planet that no one knows about
lives people from before the Clone Wars who know nothing about the outcome...
.They escaped long ago to this
distant planet. They called it New
Alderaan. They are the only ones who
reside here. A total of only five. That's all that ever were there. Catherine looks at her husband John
Jedi. Locon is also the name of a
person who lives here. Last, but
defiantly not least to be mentioned is Brax Skywalker and his father
Lowdun. Lowdun was a Jedi Knight of
long ago.
John says, "I can't believe we've lasted so
long. I guess we've really showed
them."
Lowdun
smiled.
Catherine says, "I'd hat to have seen what
happened. I hope Tim held out well."
"I'm sure he
did," said Locon in a comforting way.
Brax spoke
up.
"If only I'd have gotten a chance to KILL Mr. Orange
Idiot. Too bad our communication got
off when...."
He didn't have to finish the sentence; they all knew
what he meant. Now, Locon, Lowdun,
John, and Catherine are all about 80 years old. Brax is 60. Now, to the
real Alderaan. (I mean the original planet named that.) Bail Organa was sitting back, thinking when
a knock sounded on his door. He turned
around quite fat. It was Correon.
Bail says, "Correon! I hadn't expected to see you here.
Correon's
60. Correon gave Bail a short
smile. (Bail is about 40.)
"I came to
apologize. I left with little
reason. I was afraid of what you would
do, had I told you the truth then. "She was kidnapped. Bail. It
wasn't my fault."
"By whom?"
Correon
sighed. " I do not know for sure. Could have been the Maurders."
Bail sat
back to try and think about it. Bail
nodded.
"Could be,
but the question is then, what did they do with her?"
Correon
could only shrug. Now to Nal Hutta, the
Hutt Base. Boba Fett, the most famed
and clever Bounty Hunter in the entire galaxy stepped out of his ship. He was meeting with Elliot Skywalker (now
over 80), a random Hutt, Jabba the Hutt, Mrs. Idiot, Maggie idiot, Vader's
Clone named Chris, Summoner Skywalker, some Jawas, and some sandpeople. The others were gathered in the big Hutt
hall.
"Greetings, your Excellency, this is Boba Fett. I have come here about a bounty."
"Very good,"
says Jabba. "The Bounty is a high
one. It 's on a Wookiee. The Wookiee's name is Chewbacca. That's C-H-E-W-B-A-C-C-A..! Get it right."
Boba Fett
took out his little black book and writes all the info. Down.
"How much is he worth."
"1,987,006,257 credits."
"He'll be at
the top of my list."
Now, we
must head on over to another place on Alderaan. (It's actually in the room across the hall from Bail &
Correon.) Caspian has just gotten back
from the meeting. Gwythaint Force is
there, too. Along with R2-7 Droid. Mr. Zam is there, too. Samantha's best friend, (Han's mom) (Mrs.
Solo) and her husband (Han's dad) (Mr. Solo) and (Han's dad)'s (Mr. Solo's)
twin sister, Ashka were over at (Han's parents)(Mr. Solo's) house. Now Ashka worked for the Empire and (Han's
parents)(Mr. And Mrs. Solo's) didn't really like her, but they tolerated
her. Two droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO are
with Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca the Wookiee on Lando's property, Cloud
City. There was also Chewie's wife, a
fellow Wookiee there, too. Nelly and
Ursula Kritch are now waiting by their servant, Minka and Taran's room. They are just downright mean children. They are the Emperor's daughters...But all
these things go on at the time that other are doing things....
