Thanks to French-charlotte and jamy skywalker for reviewing. Here's Chapter 4 . . .
Han Solo and Chewbacca ran into the hangar and up the landing steps of the Millennium Falcon.
"Quick, let's get out of here!" he yelled.
Princess Leia quickly started up the engines as Han took his seat at the front of the cockpit. Chewbacca sat next to him, and Luke and Leia took the seats behind them. C-3PO and R2-D2 were both in the lounge area at the back of the ship.
Han pressed several buttons, and glimpsed several stormtroopers entering the hangar.
"Stormtroopers! Okay, Chewie, let's go. Hit it!"
Chewbacca pulled down a lever and the Millennium Falcon started hovering in the air. The band of stormtroopers started shooting blasts at the ship, but they were ineffective against the armour. Han quickly pulled another lever and the ship jetted into hyperspace and hurtled through the clouds away from the planet.
Darth Vader manoeuvred his TIE fighter and landed it in the main hangar of his super star destroyer, the Executor, which was now orbiting Naboo. The landing steps lowered, and Vader walked down to meet Captain Piett.
"Lord Vader, good to see you."
"You may spare the pleasantries, Piett. Have you found the Falcon?" he asked emotionlessly.
"No sir, we are trying -"
"Trying isn't good enough Piett. Don't fail me again. Get back up to the bridge and blast the damned ship out of the sky," Vader ordered fiercely.
"Yes my lord," Piett replied, and hurried off. Vader followed him.
The Millennium Falcon sped through the darkness of space. Han spotted a red light flashing.
"What's that?" Luke asked.
"Something behind us. And it's big. Chewie, try and see what it is," Han muttered. Chewbacca barked, and looked at the radar screen, and then growled.
"Imperial Super Star Destroyer," Han murmured. Luke heard Leia gasp next to him.
Meanwhile, Captain Piett walked over to Vader.
"Lord Vader, we have them on our target screens."
"Good," Vader muttered. "Fire at them once. Take down their shields, and then turn on the tractor beam."
"Yes, my lord."
Piett saluted, and then walked back over to a control panel. Vader turned and looked out of the window at the Falcon.
The Millennium Falcon shot through the air, the engines going faster than they ever had before, straining under the pressure.
"If you keep going this fast, we'll have a burnout!" Leia yelled. "When are you going to jump to lightspeed?"
"In a minute, your worship!" Han shouted back sarcastically. Suddenly, a huge laser blast rocketed the ship.
"What's that?" Luke asked.
"The Star Destroyer, kid! We're gonna get pulverized!"
Suddenly, Han turned the ship around and faced the Imperial Super Star Destroyer head on.
"What are you doing?" Leia screamed. "You're not actually going to take on a Super Star Destroyer?"
"It's the last thing they'll be expecting, isn't it? Plus, if we're gonna be blown up, I want to kill a couple of them first!"
Suddenly, C-3PO arrived in the cockpit.
"But sir, the chances of surviving a direct attack on the Executor in a hip of this small size is seven hundred and sixty-five thousand to one!" he panicked.
"Luke, shut down the professor over here! We'll be fine!"
The Falcon charged at the looming ship, firing madly at it, throwing accuracy out the window.
Countless laser bolts hit the hull of the Executor, barely penetrating the thick armour of the massive ship.
Captain Piett walked over to Darth Vader.
"Sir, they have moved into attack position and are blasting our hull. Shall we fire?"
"I've already told you to, haven't I, Piett? Destroy that damned ship now!"
The Executor let loose five or six laser bolts. The speedy Millennium Falcon managed to dodge the blasts, but it was close. A blast very nearly hit the main engine.
"This is suicide!" Leia shouted again, as Han expertly weaved in and out of the laser bolts being flung at them. Han ignored her, but she was proved right as a blast struck them.
The Falcon kept going for a few seconds – but then the engines exploded. Debris was thrown out of the ship, as it completely stopped. Chewbacca roared in frustration, and, although he would never admit it – fear.
On the Executor, Vader walked over to Piett.
"We've immobilised the Falcon, my lord. Shall I start the tractor beam?"
"Yes. Once the Falcon is on the ship, capture its crew. Bring Luke Skywalker to me. Kill the others," he ordered mercilessly.
"What are we going to do?" Leia demanded. "The Executor has a tractor beam, and they'll turn it on any second!"
"We're not out of this yet, your highness!" Han said urgently. "Chewie, lock in the auxiliary power."
Chewbacca pressed several buttons, and grunted. They heard the Falcon's engines roar back to life. Han quickly pulled a lever, and the ship blasted into hyperspace.
Piett gulped when he saw what had happened. He felt a horrible feeling in the pit of his stomach, as if he was about to throw up. He turned to see Darth Vader approaching him, and he felt worse.
"What's happened?" Vader asked coldly.
"My lord, the Falcon . . . escaped."
Vader was silent. Suddenly, Piett felt as if an invisible hand was gripped round his throat, and he fell to the floor, gasping, struggling for breath.
Vader watched him silently as he Force – choked Piett. Suddenly, he let go.
Piett suddenly felt the air rushing into his lungs, and started gasping.
"You are fortunate I've decided to spare your life, Piett. Get your miserable face out of my sight," Vader hissed. "You are dismissed. Admiral Ozzel will take over from here. I told you I will not tolerate failure."
Darth Vader walked away, his black cloak billowing behind him as Piett sat on the floor, still gasping.
The Millennium Falcon sped through space, desperately trying to get as far away as possible from the Executor.
"Our auxiliary power's failing," Han said grimly. "Won't last long. We'll have to land somewhere. Chewie, see what you can find."
Chewbacca growled, and began examining the radar screen in front of him.
Luke sighed, stood up, and walked out of the slightly cramped cockpit.
Chewbacca turned to Han and grunted.
"Found something!" Han said triumphantly. "What is it, Chewie?"
He examined the radar screen.
"Arbra. Never heard of it. Not much technology. Looks like a pretty small planet. Probably the last place the Empire would look. Well done, Chewie."
Chewbacca grunted again, and the Millennium Falcon blasted off into space, heading for Arbra.
Darth Vader strolled down the bridge of the Executor, watching the huge radar screen in front of him, and the small red dot that was the Millennium Falcon.
Admiral Ozzel walked over to Vader.
"My lord, the Emperor wishes to know the latest."
Vader turned round.
"Very well, Admiral," he said emotionlessly. "You are in charge."
Vader walked off the bridge into a large room leading off it. A life-sized hologram came up in front of Vader. It was Emperor Palpatine. Vader bowed.
"Greetings, my master," he spoke.
"Greetings, Lord Vader. What has happened in Naboo?"
The Emperor had no expression in his voice, no emotion for the planet he used to be Senator of, the planet he had now ripped apart. Vader hesitated before answering. He was never frightened, nor nervous, but he always felt slightly uneasy around the Emperor, even though he would never admit it himself.
"The Falcon, and her crew, unfortunately escaped, my master."
The Emperor paused as his cruel, calculating brain thought.
"Track the Falcon. See where it lands. Send down an entire legion of stormtroopers. Send down several AT-ST walkers, and travel down yourself. They could stop at a Rebel base, so we need as many troops as we can get. Destroy them. Obliterate the base, if there is one."
He stopped.
"But bring me Skywalker."
Vader bowed.
"Yes, my master," he whispered, and left the room as the hologram disappeared.
Admiral Ozzel walked over to him.
"My lord, the Falcon appears to have stopped at a nearby planet. Arbra. Shall I send down the troopers?"
Vader paused, thinking.
"My lord?" Ozzel asked after a few seconds.
Vader turned to Ozzel.
"Yes," he ordered. "Get them."
The Executor blasted into space, following the Falcon.
Told you I'd try and make it a bit longer! Hope you all enjoyed it. Please review, I won't bite!
