Chapter 3

Crusifidge woke up and sat up. He was in a bed. The nurse saw him.

"Ah, you're awake," she said grabbing a mirror and putting it in front of his face. He looked at the reflection of himself. He looked exactly like he used to, only without the beard. Crusifidge smiled stroking his chin. "Now remember, it's only a mask," the nurse said. Crusifidge nodded not looking away from the mirror. His radio on his arm beeped. Crusifidge turned it on.

"Lord Crusifidge, please report to me shortly," Slain's voice said. Crusifidge put on some gloves to hide his green hands. Crusifidge ran his hand through the hair on his skin mask. He felt so good. He walked into Slain's office.

"You wanted to see me, sir?" Crusifidge asked.

"Yes, the war is coming to an end, but the Republic has many great generals with them, and there is one we must kidnap," Slain said.

"Who?" Crusifidge questioned.

"General Solo. Without him, they will become much weaker," Slain said. "You must get a hold of him. I think you are a great apprentice, but lately you have proven to be a disgrace to me," Slain retorted. Crusifidge felt a stab of anger.

"I sense anger in you. Well, let the anger flow through your veins," Slain demanded. Crusifidge did so, but held it in front of Slain. "You pathetic apprentice. You try to hold in your anger. Leave!" Slain bellowed. Crusifidge left in anger.

Han walked through a hallway. He saw Luke.

"Luke, I think I'm going to take a ship to go to Granulize to investigate the making of the new base," Han said.

"Be careful," Luke replied. Han walked out getting in the Falcon. He turned it on, and took off. He was entering the Granulize system when he felt a surge of shaking. The ship seemed to be being attacked. He looked around behind him. Sure enough, a ship was attacking him. Han took his ship flipping it upside down. He flew it. The ship shot him down. He was crashing into Granulize. The ship hit the ground dragging itself through the dirt. Han opened the cockpit quickly getting out. He ran through a bunch of dirt hearing a ship that was landing. Han hid behind a boulder. He had his hand on his blaster ready to fire. He heard some people getting off the ship. Two men with blaster pistols walked out. Han slowly stepped to the other side of the boulder, and then quickly jumping out firing his gun. One shot hit one of them while the other one sailed past the second man. Han saw a pond behind him running and diving into it as that man fired his blaster at him. The man walked up to the edge of the pitch black pond looking down trying to spot him. He saw a movement when Han shot up with 2 guns firing both of them. They hit the guy, and he screamed as he fell on his back. Han climbed out of the water as he saw a figure in a black robe walk out of the ship. The figure removed his hood to reveal the most hideous thing Han had ever seen. This must've been Darth Grederken. Han had never seen him before. He wasn't human, that was for sure. There were 2 little slits for eyes, and had looked nothing like any of the species he had seen before. Grederken withdrew a light saber hilt igniting it. It was blood red. Han stood there terrified. In one swift movement, Grederken had Han on the ground unconscious. Grederken turned his light saber off carrying Han into the ship as they got ready to take off.
