The Dark One Part 2
Randy Antilles looked at the blackness of space with a sigh, for he wish he hadn't turn down his friend. Char-Na's, invitation to his Togorian adulthood ceremony. "I just had to make flight academy more important than my two best friends," moaned Randy, before his father, Wedge Antilles, leader of Rogue Squadron, placed his hand on his son's shoulder.
"Don't feel too bad, you still had some lessons to make up. You, Mark, and Char-Na are the best pilots in the academy. (Despite the fact Mark and Char-Na don't spend the full year there, getting full-fledged Jedi training during their 'vacation' times) Why, if it wasn't for your young ages, you three would probably already be in Rogue Squadron," smiled Wedge, before he came with an idea, one that pleased Randy. "How we go to Togoria and surprise them? I'll even let you take three X-Wings for you, Mark, and Char-Na; you kids sure love flying,"
"Thanks pop!" replied Randy before he went to get prepared for the trip, running down the halls of the Corellian Corvette. Meanwhile, the Millennium Falcon was entering the tropical atmosphere of Togoria, when a violent vibration rocked the ship.
"Chewie, check what's going on!" ordered Han Solo to his first mate; Chewbacca nodded and checked the sensors. He let out a howl, which Vee-Seven quickly translated.
"Chewbacca says there are Imperial TIE fighters surrounding us!" shouted Vee-Seven, before another vibration shook the ship, knocking Es-Four to the ground. As Han helped the android up, he ordered Mark and Char-Na to take the control of the Falcon's turrets and blast the TIE fighters out of the sky. The two Jedi friends rushed to their posts and opened fire, incinerating some TIEs out of the sky.
"Yeah, we're doing it Mark!" shouted Char-Na as the cat-like alien took out another three TIEs. Mark was having a little trouble with a TIE Advance that had joined in, for it was dodging every blast he made. The son of Luke Skywalker finally decided to let the force take control, and he closed his eyes, and mediated. He made it so he could only the force surrounding him like a suit of armor, and when he felt the time was right, he unleashed another fury of lasers upon the TIE Advance. The blasts caused the small star fighter to crash onto the planet's surface, and the ship was no more.
Later, Han was reviewing the damage the Millennium Falcon, got in the ambush, and he moaned, "Oh this is going to take a while to fix!" He then saw Mark rushing into the ship and releasing the Lightning Lynx, from the clamps.
He then unclipped Vee-Seven from his belt and said, "Take Vee-Seven; he should be able to help fix the ship while Char-Na, Es-Four, and I go to the nearest city," Though Han was reluctant at first, he finally decided to let them go ahead and he clipped the orb-shaped droid to his belt. Then, Mark, Char-Na, and Es-Four piled into the Lightning Lynx, and blasted off!
