Lando's group skidded to a halt outside the emperor's ornate throne room door. Two red-clad guards stood on either side.
Without pausing they both fired, shooting down two men before the rebels responded and shot them down.
Lando and Kee stepped up to the door as a group of stormtroopers rounded a corner and opened fire on the small rebel group.
Kee pushed the door open, and she and Lando stepped inside.
"Your reign of terror ends here, Palpatine," Lando said.
The emperor cackled smugly. "Captured at the hands of a naive rogue and his overgrown pet," he said evenly.
The two chameleon bodyguards stepped forth, weilding large rifles.
"Put down your weapons," Palpatine said. "You've lost."
"You're wrong, Palpatine," Lando said. "The entire rebellion decided to convene at Coruscant and reclaim the galaxy for the people today."
Palpatine chuckled. "Just stun them," he said.
Four shots fired at once. One hit the window behind the throne and smashed through a pane right over Palpatine's head. Another took down one of the lizard men, and the other two were spiraling stun beams that paralyzed Lando and Kee, who dropped to the floor.
"Good," Palpatine said. "I want all the rebels executed together. We'll make a big spectacle of it."
