A scoundrel's paradise

This is my second fan-fiction, it has taken me two days to write all in one go. Special thanks to George L. for creating these characters.you know the rest!

Also I have created a character called Laho Raen, expect him to pop-up in more fan-fic soon!

As Mon Mothma spoke of the rebellion members that had died to retrieve information about the Death star the rebels looked solemn. Laho Raen kept his head down; no-one would suspect him of setting a trap which the rebellion fleet would soon fall into. Admiral Ackbar then began to speak to Han Solo, a new recruit to the rebellion. Laho did not like him, he saw Solo as the wedge between the empire destroying the rebellion. Laho did not mind Luke, of course his Lord Darth Vader would soon kill him, and so he was not a problem. The wookie was also not a problem, but worthless to him and the empire.

Laho hoped that Leia would join the dark empire; he thought she would be a worthy recruit, and a loyal, old friend.

For Laho was an impostor, sent by Darth Vader to set up the rebels for destruction. The emperor had ordered the building of a new Death Star, with all the rebellion fleet placed around Endor, they could easily be ambushed and then wiped out.
Laho had not always been with the dark side, he had been a promising user of the force, but not knowing it, he was slowly becoming a Jedi. Laho had lived on Alderaan, his family had risen to power there, and he had known the then younger Princess Leia. Laho was a few years older, but not much. However Laho was always a crook, and had finally been caught by a group of bounty hunters, including Boba Fett who took him to Tatooine to pay his debts to Jabba. However destiny intervened and Jabbas seedy palace was raided, allowing Laho to escape, with no physical wounds apart from a scar on his right brow.

Laho had heard Darth Vader was offering a considerable bounty for anyone who could get inside the rebellion, and report back what was happening to the emperor. Vader sensed the force within him, and chose Laho as the perfect young man to be his impostor rebel. Laho's only weakness Vader decided was Princess Leia. Vader bargained that he would allow Laho to spare her life if he succeeded. If he failed, Leia would be tortured in the confines of a cell.

So now, here Laho was, knowing how all of these men and women were soon going to die, Laho rushed through the thoughts within his conscience, he didn't even notice General Ackbar calling his name.

"Laho Raen is a new rebel, but has proved himself by supplying us with security codes to the Moon of Endor. Now Laen."

"Oh, sorry, yes?"

"I do believe you were to give a talk to about how the security code passes work?"

"Yes, well men."

Leia looked at her friend Laho, he looked worried, tired and so very sad, and she wondered what Laho had previously been thinking about, she remembered how Laho had taught her to offend her parents back on Alderaan when they were younger; she smiled, thinking about the old days until Han squeezed her shoulder.

"I'm just going to get supplies, I won't be long, so don't miss me, but I guess you always do..."

Leia smiled at Han's wit but still pondered about Laho, Leia noticed Luke talking to him, both Luke and Laho had meet previously while Laho was buying a repair druid from the desert Jawas, Luke had been buying a druid also, and the pair got talking. Luke still remembered Laho from then.

"Long time no see Luke."

"Same to you Laho!"

The pair shook hands and then carried on talking about the assignment.

"So you're helping on this mission, Luke?"

Laho flinched, he suddenly wished Luke wasn't going; he did not want to see him killed.

"Yeah, along with Leia Chewie and Han."

"Did I just hear my name?"

Han and Chewbacca walked over and Han shook Lahos hand. Laho scowled inside but grinned on the outside knowing that Hans days were numbered.

"Laho, I'm sure I have seen you somewhere before."

"You have, the raid on Jabba's, I was being held prisoner."

"You're the escapee? Laho Raen? I was expecting more of a...scoundrel!"

Chewie roared playfully and Laho also shook hands with him. Laho looked where Leia was; she was talking to the Endor squadron about landing signals. It was Han who called her over.

"Leia Organa." Laho smiled his conscience stirring.

"Laho Raen, how good it is to see you again!"

Laho and Leia embraced and finally Laho didn't have to pretend. Laho kissed her hand and Han suddenly began to jabber.

"You two know each other then?"

"Yes Han. Laho was my most loyal and loved friend I ever had. Back on Alderaan he was one of my father's friend's son, I never forget the day when I cried so much.When you were caught by the bounty hunters. Even my father couldn't stop them taking you. Laho, you were the only scoundrel on our planet of peace!"

Leia smiled weakly but felt a great longing to be with her now deceased parents.

"Yeah I was a scoundrel, but the only man you had eyes for."

Han glared at Laho and Leia. This was only interrupted by Luke telling Leia Chewie and Han they were ready to leave. Han and Chewbacca began to recite the security code, but Han still listened intensively to what Laho and Leia were saying.

"I shall see you on Endore, princess."

Leia smiled and Han was sure he heard her say;

"That you will my prince."

Whilst on the trade ship, stolen by the rebellion Han Solo is cranky and uncomfortable. Chewbacca tried to cheer him up but is met by Han snapping at him.
Luke could sense the problem is with Leia, but kept quiet and began to train his levitation skills. Leia then finally asked what was wrong with Han.

"Nothing is up with me Leia. Nothing at all. OK?"

Leia knew she didn't have to be spoken to like Han had just, and joins Luke watching him train.

"Leia, I'll be with you soon, what's up?"

"Just Han, getting tense, I don't know why though."

"Perhaps it's something to do with Laho?"

"Laho? What's Laho got to do with anything, Luke?"

"Didn't you two have a relationship?"

"Yes but it ended a long time ago."

"Why Leia?"

At this point floating mid air is Luke's lightsaber he is trying to control its movements, at the moment it looks as if it is trying to mark an X in the air.

"I don't want to say, leave it Luke, you don't know what you're messing with."

Leia then stormed out and suddenly the lightsaber is pointing at Luke's throat the light reflecting off his moist skin.

"What the?"

Luke picks up the lightsaber and study's it. Luke realises that he did not command the lightsaber to do that. Only one person could have done that on this ship.Leia?

Perhaps what Yoda said earlier really was true?
