The team moved down the hallways with Zoda and Chewbacca in binders. Zoda kept grumbling various things as Han, wearing a stormtrooper outfit, happily poked the Jedi with his blaster.

"Quiet insolent fiend," said Han. Zoda's veins began bulging and he began growling. Finally they entered into an elevator and went up to the prison cell.

"I can't see a thing in these helmets," said Luke.

"You can thank me for that," said Zoda smiling. He flicked his hand and the binders came flying off and Han's and Luke's vision cleared.

"This is a bad idea," said Han shaking his head.

"Relax as long as I'm here we're in business," said Zoda. Then the doors opened and the troopers and the prisoners exited.

"Where are you taking these 'things'?" asked the officer there.

"Hey!" shouted Zoda before Han smacked him in the stomach with his blaster rifle.

"Prisoner transfer from…," began Luke before one of the officers there looked at them wide-eyed.

"That's TK-421 and TK-427!" shouted the officer. The others screamed and ran for the turbolift. An instant later they had all disappeared.

"Our reputation preceeds us," said Han. He pulled out his blaster and fried every camera in the room.

"Let's find out which one of these cells your princess is in," said Han moving to the controls.

"21-8-2," said Zoda.

"How do you know that?" asked Luke.

"Because she's the only person I can detect in the Force that's here," said Zoda. "Move dummy!"

Luke took off.

"You didn't lie to him did you?" asked Han taking off his helmet.

"No," said Zoda.

"Good for you. It looks like you're turning over a new leaf," Han teased.

"To the contrary, the faster we rescue her the sooner we can leave and get our money," said Zoda.

"True," Han conceded. Instantly an alarm began blaring.

"Uh-oh," said Han.

"Answer it!"

"H-hello," said Han.

"What's going on up there? TK-421 what've you done this time?" demanded the person on the other end.

"Weapons malfunction," said Han.

"Not again!" shouted the voice on the other end. "Where's TK-427?"

"What up?" asked Zoda.

"Where did you find that Wookie?" demanded the voice on the other end.

"I forget,"

"Not again!" shouted the other voice. "What is going on up there?"

"Party!" shouted Zoda.

"Oy," said the other voice.

"We're fine. How are you?" asked Han.

"How are you? Who are you? TK-421 and TK-427 don't care about how other people are! We're sending a squad up!" said the other voice before Han blasted it.

"How are you?" asked Zoda sitting on the console. "What the hell were you thinking?"

"You were just spouting random crap!" shouted Han.

"Like hell is was!" responded the Jedi. "There was a method to my madness! There always is even if it isn't readily apparent!"

Han gave him a confused look when Luke and Princess Leia appeared in the room.

"Hello," she said. Then to Zoda. "Who are you?"

"I'm Ben Kenobi," said Zoda acting annoyed that Leia didn't know that.

"You're not Ben Kenobi!" Leia laughed.

"Why the hell not?" Zoda demanded. Leia looked at him nervously.

"Because Ben Kenobi is a tall bearded old man," said Leia somewhat confidently.

"Have you ever seen Ben Kenobi?" asked Zoda.

"Well, no, but," Leia began.

"Well there you go," said Zoda. "The reason I appear the way I do is because before destroying all of my accomplishment that did me the ultimate insult and made me be human. I'll never forgive them for that. Speaking of which, who are you?"

"Ah ha!" shouted Leia. "Now I know you aren't Ben Kenobi because if you were you would've heard the message that I'm Bail Organa's daughter Leia," said the Princess.

"Yeah I guess you're right," began Zoda when he had an epiphany. "Wait did you say your name was Leia Organa?"

"Yes,"

Zoda looked at her then to Luke, back to Leia, and back again several times. "Oh my God!"

"What?" Leia demanded confused.

"Nothing, nothing at all," said Zoda quickly before shaking his fists at the heavens. "Damn you Obi-Wan!"

Elsewhere on the station Obi-Wan chuckled at Zoda's outburst..

"Time to go," said Zoda. They boarded the turbolift and it took off as stormtroopers rushed the room in the other turbolift.

"Oh no they're still at large!" said a stormtrooper beginning to panic.

"We'll find them!" shouted the officer accompanying them. "We have to!"

Lower level: The turbolift opened revealing the group with their normal clothes on.

"Phew what's that smell!" shouted Han waving away the stench.

"The garbage mashers. It's the only real way to escape surveillance. Only an idiot would come done here," said Zoda.

"Good thing we have you then," laughed Han before a pair of lightsabers extended outward and he stopped laughing, the lightsabers retracted.

"Who are you?" asked Leia utterly confused.

"I am the dark one," said Zoda.

"Who?"

"He's Zoda," said Han finally as they continued walking down the hallway. Leia's eyes went wide.

"You're Zoda!" she said in terror. "I thought you were only a myth to frighten kids to go to bed and not act up."

"I'm no myth," said Zoda darkly. "I'm a nightmare!"

Leia began trembling and walking in silence.

"Are any of what they say about you true?" asked Leia finally.

"Like what?" asked Zoda.

"Yeah I want to know," said Luke.

"They say that you were the only Jedi that the Emperor refused to have killed or had hunted down. Nevertheless he did post a bounty on you saying 'hunt at your own risk'. Three months later sixty bounty hunters were slain and you had broken into Coruscant and stared down the Emperor who recalled the bounty," said Leia. "They say you're a natural disaster on two legs with more raw power then a supernova. Your only limitation is your refusal to think and plan things out before you do something, often walking yourself into a trap, which often causes you to get beaten up a lot."

Chewbacca grumbled something.

"Yeah Z, why don't you?" Han asked. Zoda shrugged.

"Nothing can go 100% according to plan, our current situation being a prime example of that, so why bother?" asked Zoda. The other shrugged and turned a corner and ran smack into a legion of stormtroopers. Han fired at one and the other troopers bolted.

"Get back to the ship!" he yelled taking off after them with Chewie. Zoda watched them go shaking his head.

"Emperor's finest my ass," he said. He then walked with Luke and Leia before they too were confronted by a legion of stormtroopers. Instantly two lightsabers extend from underneath his sleeves.

"C'mon! Let's dance!" shouted Zoda. He leapt into the air and a rush of laserfire came at him. Instantly he was jumping all over the place deflecting laserbolts and chopping down stormtroopers. An instant later the fifteen troopers were all dead.

"There that wasn't so hard was it?" asked Zoda turning to a shell-shocked Luke and Leia.

"What?" he asked.

"Run!" shouted Luke. Zoda spun around to see a huge wave of white and black coming straight at them, over 100 stormtroopers worth. Zoda and the others promptly turned and ran. They reached a massive chasm and Luke shot the door before blasting the controls.

"Quick! Find the controls to operate the bridge!" shouted Leia.

"I think I just blasted them," said Luke meekly. Zoda threw up his hands in frustration.

"Nice one kid! Some future of the future of the Jedi you are!" said the Jedi.

"And what're you planning on doing? You're stuck too," said Leia.

"No I'm not," said Zoda. He leapt into the air and went flying to the other side of the chasm before taunting. "What now?"

Luke had finally noticed the overhang that he could hook a utility belt to when laser bolts erupted from above. He exchanged blasts with them for a few moments while Zoda sat down and leaned against the side sighing. Stormtroopers soon appeared above Luke and Leia and began shooting at Zoda who pointed out his index fingers and began jerking his hands back and forth like his hands were guns and he was shooting invisible blasts. Invisible or not, the troopers began falling one by one. Finally they simply stopped attacking Zoda while Luke quickly threw his utility rope around an overhanging and was preparing to swing across the chasm with Leia when she gave him a peck on the cheek.

"For luck," she explained as Zoda's jaw dropped. They swung across and landed next to Zoda who was staring at them wide-eyed and in total and utter shock.

"What?" Luke and Leia asked confused. Zoda began muttering incomprehensibly. Finally he took his head and slammed into a wall.

"Out image! Out!" shouted Zoda. Finally he stopped banging his head against the wall with stars in his eyes. "Image gone. Let's roll!"

Luke and Leia shrugged and they made the rest of the way to the Falcon without incident until:

"Hey that's one of the guys who stole our uniforms!" shouted TK-421.

"Yeah and beat the shit out of us too!" shouted TK-427. The two were standing in the underwear and undershirts but somehow still had their blasters. Zoda snapped out his hand and Luke's blaster flew into it. He then took a data chip from his robe and tossed it to the guys.

"What's this for?" asked TK-421 picking it up.

"Severance pay," said Zoda firing. The blast missed the two troopers but they bolted anyway.

"Zoda you're a bad shot with that thing," said Luke taking back his blaster.

"I wasn't planning on killing them," said Zoda.

"So you are compassionate," said Leia. Zoda shook his head.

"Don't you know anything yet? They're my poker buddies and I often rob them of all they have," said Zoda with a grin as they kept walking. Finally they reached a hallway facing the Falcon.

"There it is," said Luke. Zoda sighed.

"California here we come, right back where we started from," the Jedi said absent-mindedly.

"What?" asked Leia convinced the Jedi was mad.

"I'll be back," said Zoda striding into the bay.

"Zoda what're you," began Luke before laser blasts erupted in the bay. A moment later they stopped and Zoda walked back to them, lightsabers steaming.

"Time to go," he said heading for the Falcon where R2 and 3PO were already boarding it.

"What about," began Luke.

"Right here kid," said Han as he and Chewbacca raced past them for the ship. "Nice work Z."

Luke and Leia ran to the ship when Luke spotted Ben dueling with Darth Vader.

"Ben?" Luke asked. Ben looked at the group before holding up his lightsaber and saluting right before Vader chopped him in half, Ben disappearing before the blade struck.

"No!" shouted Luke.

"Quitter," said Zoda simply. Then as Luke began blasting stormtroopers. "Now I'm left with these losers. Not only that, but how did Vader's lightsaber cut through Ben's like that?"

"Zoda let's go!" shouted Han snapping the Jedi out of his reverie.

"Coming," said Zoda running to the ship, an instant before Luke ran up the ramp as well. The ship then took off and bolted from the station.

"So what now?" asked Zoda in the cockpit.

"What do you think we should do?" asked Han.

"Drop off our two passengers on the nearest rock and bolt," said Zoda.

"What about the reward?"

"Dammit!"

Instantly an alarm began blaring.

"Wuh-oh," said Zoda as four dots headed towards them. Han pressed a couple buttons and headed for the back.

"Take out over Chewie," said Han bolting.

"Han!" shouted Zoda.

"Yeah," asked Han walking back in.

"Luke's really upset, why don't I handle this. Sit down," said Zoda. Han sat in a rear chair as Zoda gunned the engines. The Falcon did a u-turn and roared back at the fighters, cannons blazing. An instant later they were all destroyed.

"Let's get the hell out of here," said Zoda vacating the seat as Han sat on it and threw the hyperspace lever. Zoda walked in the back where he found Luke sulking with Leia.

"What happened back there?" asked Luke weakly.

"A little Imperial trouble, nothing you couldn't have handled on your own," said Zoda truthfully.

"I hope you haven't come here to gloat about outliving Ben," said Leia with a little bit of anger. Zoda flung up his hands in innocence.

"No!" he said. "I'm just as shaken by Ben's death as you are."

"Really? Why?" Luke asked angrily.

"Because Obi-Wan's pulled me out of more crises then I care to count. As long as he was around I knew we would always survive. But now that he's gone I just don't know," said Zoda.

"How long did you know him?" asked Leia.

"Years," said Zoda. "Since he first came to the Temple to become a Jedi. I always knew he would do great things and in fact he was the Jedi everyone aspired to be. Obi-Wan Kenobi was the very definition of a Jedi. Something I have tried to aspire to but failed miserably. You should be honored to have know him, I know I am."

"Yeah," said Luke nodding. "You know it's strange but I swear I heard Ben's voice telling me to run to the Falcon when we were onboard the Death Star. What does that mean?"

"Damn kid you're worse off then I thought!" said Zoda wide-eyed. "You're hearing voices in your head? Holy sithspit!"

"Knock it off. Be serious," said Leia. Zoda held up his hands.

"Fine! Maybe Adobi-Wan is trying to contact you from beyond the grave," the Jedi suggested.

"Zoda," Leia began to say.

"No," said Luke affirmatively. "No, he's right. Somehow it's the answer."

Luke left and headed for the cockpit while Zoda began searching the aft cargo compartments with R2-D2.

"What're you looking for?" asked Leia after he had disappeared for several minutes. Zoda reached behind a pair of crates and strained for a few moments before pulling out a device from behind the crates.

"Is this it?" he asked. R2 warbled an affirmative reply and headed for the garbage shoot with the device.

"What is it?" Leia demanded.

"The Imp tracking device. I'm going to flush it into hyperspace," said Zoda.

"No!" said Leia fiercely. "I mean, we should keep it onboard."

"Are you nuts?" asked Zoda. "Maybe that Imperial torture really did affect your mind. You've been brainwashed Queeny."

:"No I haven't been brainwashed," said Leia. "If the Death Star tracks us to Yavin IV and we find a weakness then we can blow it up there."

"Do you really want to take that chance? Even if you do blow it up the Imps will know where your base is," said Zoda.

"Believe me I'm willing to take that chance," said Leia.

"Then you are nuts," said Zoda. "I'm blowing it."

"Who is paying you the reward money? If you blow it then you can forget your share," said Leia. Zoda eyed her and then the device.

"What's to say I won't blow you and this out the airlock," said Zoda.

"Because you're a Jedi and you still have a code of ethics. Besides, I really don't think you want both the Imps and the Rebels on your back," said Leia.

"Fine," said Zoda tossing her the device. "But it's on your head."

Zoda headed for the bridge and emerged just as Han said: "I don't know do you think a princess and a guy like me."

"No," said Luke quickly.

"No what?" asked Zoda taking a seat.

"I don't believe Han and Leia have a chance at a relationship," said Luke smugly.

"Oh and like you do?" Zoda asked.

"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Luke.

"Dude she's your sister," said Zoda.

"What?" Luke shouted. Instantly Zoda's hands covered his mouth.

"Oops you weren't supposed to know that yet!" he said before thinking. "Oh hell Obi-Wan's gone, might as well spill everything then."

"You think that's bad?" Zoda continued. "Darth Vader's your father!"

Luke emitted a girly scream as Han was rolling in laughter.

"And you think that's bad, your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries," said Zoda as Luke fainted dead away as Han began wiping away tears.

"That was priceless man, absolutely priceless. His expression was unbelievable," said Han.

"Sadly it's all true," said Zoda meaning every word of it.

"Damn. So what're you going to do with Luke now that you've irreversibly warped his psyche?" asked Han.

"I'm going to have to erase that part of his memories," said Zoda.

"What about me?" asked Han.

"What about you?"

"Well I know and you have to admit that knowing they're related could be both a blessing and a curse. It'd be hilarious for small romantic talk between the two, but would be an absolute nightmare if things got serious between the two. Is Luke ever going to find out the truth?" asked Han.

"Lord I hope so," said the Jedi. "For all our sakes."

Zoda altered Luke's memories and then Han's. Luke woke up and walked off in a daze not knowing at all what had transpired just moments before. As he left, Leia entered into the cockpit.

"Hiya Queeny," said Zoda.

"Why do you call me that?" Leia said.

"Meh. Because you're royalty and I knew someone who looked like you whom I also called Queeny," said Zoda.

"Yes well stop it," said Leia.

"I dunno. I kinda like it," said Han with a grin. Leia glared at him.

"Hey I'm the one who rescued you," said the smuggler.

"I'm just grateful R2's memory is still intact," said Leia.

"Why?" asked Zoda.

"Yeah. What's so important? What's he carrying?" Han asked.

"The technical readouts to that battlestation," said Leia.

"Oh is that all," said Zoda clearly not impressed.

"Is that all?" Leia said incredulously. "What do you mean by that?"

"I bought the plans off Ebay last month," said the Jedi. "For 200,000 creds. There's really nothing worth noting in terms of weaknesses except for an unshielded thermal exhaust port leading to the core. It's ray shielded of course but not particle shielded. Should be easy to find, even for those droids at your base."

"I don't believe this," said Leia holding her head.

"I'm a technology connoisseur and I like to blow stuff up. Demolition is my mission so I find any weakness I can in technology and try to exploit it for fun," said Zoda. "Course then I accidentally blasted a large hole in the base of the Jedi Temple and they weren't too happy about that. 75 years of exile they gave me. All in all good times."

A console beeped before the conversation could take yet another abrupt and unexpected turn for the worse.

"Looks like we're approaching Yavin IV. Everybody hang on," said Han as the ship plowed ahead towards the moon.
