Chapter 2

"I seem to have felt a great disturbance in the force," Obi-Wan said breaking his meditative silence.

"You always say that!" Han Solo said annoyedly. The crew of the Millennium Falcon had spent a better part of the day dodging and dog fighting with Imperial Tie-Fighters, and Han was in no mood to hear another speech from Obi-Wan on how the force controls the universe and bla bla bla. Han Solo rolled his eyes. The ship was only minutes away from reaching its destination, which was a rebel base on the planet Endor. Han was glad. Three days on the ship with Obi-Wan's force babbling, Leia's nagging, and Luke's over zealousness to learn the ways of the force had put Han in a not so nice mood. Things weren't all bad however. Chewbacca was on the ship as well, and Luke was an exceptional pilot. That, and he found Leia quite attractive even though she nagged him constantly.

Just then, it looked as if the entire universe had become illuminated with split second flashes of different colors. RED! YELLOW! GREEN! BLUE! RED! YELLOW! GREEN! BLUE!

"What in the world….?" Han managed to say while this unnatural phenomenon was going on before him. Everyone on the Millennium Falcon ran to the control deck to see what was happening.

They all witnessed what looked like an explosion, then a spaceship appeared out of nowhere. As quickly as it all began, there were no more flashing colors, no more explosions, and all that was left was an unusual looking space ship that sat idling before the Falcon. They all looked at it, and then each other. Han and Chewie, who were the only two on the Falcon to have seen the event in its entirety, now sat dumbfounded. In all their years of space travel, they had never seen anything like what had just happened.

"Did they just jump in from hyperspace?" Luke managed to ask.

"No Kid, I don't think so. I've never seen a jump end like THAT before," Han stammered out.

"Well what happened?" Leia demanded.

"I don't know," Han said, still dumbfounded. He sat and stared for a few more seconds and then said "Maybe I should try to hail them,"

"Are you crazy?" Leia said annoyed. "That could be an Imperial starship! They could have followed us here and this could be some kind of trap!"

"I don't think so," Obi Wan said in his usual calm tone. "It is much too small for an Imperial ship. And I doubt that the Emperor would allow for any one ship in his fleet to fall in that bad of condition. And look….there is no serial number on the side. Just the word 'Bebop'. A curious name for a ship."

Although Han was usually annoyed by Obi Wan's observations, he had to agree. Han was also glad that Obi Wan was there to give a possible explanation that was at least somewhat reasonable.

"Maybe they need help. Han, go ahead and try to hail them," Luke suggested.

"Help? Yeah, I think you're right, Kid," Han said as he reached for the communication device.

At that very moment, the crew of the Bebop lay on the floor of the ship, dazed, dumbfounded, and scared. Even Ein's barking had been silenced by the event that had just taken place. All, were silent, except for Edward, of course, who was now running about the ship screaming "Wheeeeeee! That was FUN! Let's do that again!"

As the rest of the crew came back to their senses and got up from the floor, Jett peered out the window of the control deck. "Hey…that's not Ganymede! What the….what planet is this?" He said bewildered as he looked out at the unfamiliar planet. Jett looked down at the navigation system on the control panel to try to find out where in the universe they had ended up. This was to no avail as the display on the navigation system only read "OUT OF RANGE" in red blinking letters.

Off in the distance, Ed could be heard yelling in the background, "Fun ride! Fun fun fun! So very fun! Let's do that again!"

"No…that was NOT very fun, and we will NOT do that again!" Faye said trying to get Ed to shut up, "Will we Jett?" She cautiously and quietly asked Jett.

"Not if I can help it," Jett replied. "But I wish I knew what happened in the first place."

"Where are we?" Faye asked.

"Well, we should be at Ganymede. But I don't think this is Ganymede. In fact, I know it's not." Jett replied.

"Well then if we aren't at Ganymede where are we?" Faye said a little more impatiently.

"I don't know! Now the navigation system is shot!" Jett again replied now becoming slightly more irritated.

"What on Earth did you do, Jett?" Spike he said bitterly. He was half annoyed to have his nap interrupted, and half scared from the unexplainable thing that had just happened to them.

"I didn't do anything!" Jett said defensively, who was now more irritated at his crew than scared.

Faye was about to start arguing again when she was interrupted by a voice over the communications system.

"This is Han Solo of the Millennium Falcon. Do you read me? Over!"

Jett scrambled for the communication controls and replied back "Yeah, we read you, OVER!"

"Do you require assistance?" Han inquired.

"Yeah…our navigation system is shot. Can you tell us where we are?" Jett responded.

"Endor!"

The crew of the Bebop looked at each other in confusion. None of them had ever heard of such a planet. Then everyone, including Ed, all said at once, "ENDOR?"
