Star Wars III.V
The Rebellion
Former Senator from Naboo Padme Skywalker, the wife of Jedi Master Anakin Skywalker is now Chancellor of the Galactic Empire. She rules the galaxy with the iron fist of the Imperial Fleet in an attempt to bring order and prosperity to the Galaxy.
Behind Padme's power the Supreme Prophet of the Dark Side convinces a young Jedi knight of the coming threat of the Alliance.
An Imperial Star Destroyer moved into position with the Imperial Fleet outside the ThonBoka nebula. Several Oswaft cruiser ships were positioned in front of the fleet. On board the flag ship Commander Rokur Gepta had in front of him a screen showing the Oswaft ambassadors. "These negotiations are closed," Gepta said shutting of the screen.
"Fire," he ordered.
The Imperial Fleet fired upon the Oswaft cruisers causing them to catch fire and explode. One of them sent a powerful masser voice stream that caused the cruiser Courteous to shatter into pieces.
"Raise shields," Gepta ordered.
The Imperial Fleet fired off their engines and moved into the nebula. Lando Calrissian with the Oswaft elders discussed a battle plan. "If you dump your ships cargo along with these beacons you should have the fleet firing on each other," Lando said.
"How can you be sure?" an Oswaft elder asked.
"It's the best bet you have," Lando said.
Tie fighters flew into action against the Oswaft. Three Jedi star fighters flew through space entering the fight.
The Tie fighters engaged Oswaft cruisers as they sent voice streams. "Watch out for the sound blasts," Glen said.
"Like we can see them," Styke said sarcastically.
"Use the Force, then you can see it," Flora said.
The three fighters went into formation and engaged the Oswaft cruisers. Glen and Styke sent laser fire on the cruisers blasting holes into the hull. Flora aimed and fired off missiles towards the bottom of the ship. Glen and Styke flew to the right and left as Flora went in for another shot. Pressing her controls she sent laser fire into the ships causing it to explode. A voice stream went through space toward her fighter.
"Pull up," Glen shouted.
"I am aware," she said tense. The Jedi star fighter turned on its side as the blast clipped one of the wings. The shields glowed as it was hit. Flora went into a spin.
In the background Imperial cruisers fired at the decoys and metallic objects. "That's right, we'll sandwich them in," Gepta said looking at his map.
The cruisers fired rapidly sending laser fire at themselves. Imperial ships began to blast apart as they fired on each other.
"I see her," Styke said going after Flora.
Flora was still in a spin barely avoiding a sound blasts that exploded several Tie fighters. "I can't control it," she observed.
"We're almost where you're at," Glen said avoiding another exploding Tie fighter.
The Oswaft cruisers fired off a volley of sound bursts that caused an Imperial Star Destroyer to shutter and explode. Styke's ship felt the heat and impact of the explosion. Concentrating he flew through the wreckage as it was flung outward.
"I can't get to her," Styke said.
Glen's ship approached Flora'a spinning ship. Closing his eyes he concentrated on the Force. Flora'a ship slowed down and stopped spinning. "Thanks, Glen," Flora said now able to control her ship.
"No problem," Glen smiled. Suddenly a stream voice slammed Glen's ship. "Glen!" Flora yelled.
Glen's ship was pushed back and went dead, not moving. "Styke, we have to lead Glen back to the ship," Flora said.
"What about the mission?" Styke said annoyed.
"Glen's ship is dead in space, we have to move him out of here," Flora insisted.
Star Destroyers continued to fire on Imperial cruisers causing huge explosions on both sides. "What is happening to my fleet?" Gepta shouted at his officers.
"We've lost 11 of the fleet," a commander told him.
"Pull back," Gepta ordered angrily.
"Pull back," Styke's computer told him. He punched the controls in frustration. "I'm taking out at least one," Styke said to himself.
Styke's ship sped toward the Oswaft fleet. They immediately fired on him. Styke expertly avoided the blasts and fired at the ships. The ships moved back realizing the Imperial fleet was retreating. Styke continued to fire causing one Oswaft cruiser to explode when its engines became damaged.
"Yes, I have you now," Styke said gleefully as he blasted what remained of the cruiser to bits.
"Styke, you are going to get yourself killed," Flora argued.
Styke turned off the comlink and continued firing away. The Tie fighter escort that came with him were eventually blasted away. The Oswaft battle ship locked onto him and trapped him in tractor beam. Styke struggled but to no avail.
Flora frowned wondering what to do. She moved along side Glen's ship and created a connection. Opening a hatch she grabbed Glen and put him in her ship behind her. He had been depraved of warmth and oxygen. The Oswaft fired blasting away Glen's fighter. Flora's ship disconnected causing her ship to spark at the bottom.
"That's not good," Glen muttered as red lights flashed all over the ship. Flora immediately worked to regain control of the ship. It was sucked into the Oswaft battle ship as well.
Styke waited for his ship to enter the Oswaft docking bay. His star fight rested in the docking bay alongside several Oswaft fighters As soon as his ship stopped he opened the hatch and flipped into the air. Igniting his light saber he slashed into the Oswaft guards and soldiers. Blocking their laser fire with his red blade he sent electricity into remaining soldiers killing them instantly.
"Fools, now I'll be able to kill the commander myself," Styke said to himself ambitiously.
Flora's ship landed as well in the same spot next to Styke's. She opened the hatch and dragged Glen out of the ship. "I need a medic," she yelled. No one answered; the place was empty of living personal. Flora stared at the docking bay as she saw numerous medical, soldier, and guard personal all over the floor slashed in various ways.
Styke was in the elevator going to the second floor. Opening he went through the halls slashing into every living thing he could. Slicing through the doors with his light saber he went through the rooms evading laser fire and slicing into the personal. Looking at a computer he found the elevator to the bridge.
Flora dragged a helpless Glen to another area of the ship. As she entered a hallway leading towards the interior of the ship she became surrounded. Igniting her purple light saber she defended Glen within her circle.
"I don't want trouble," she said nervously.
Styke allowed the elevator to open and then sliced into two unsuspecting victims. Pushing the right button he headed toward the bridge.
"We have orders to bring you to the bridge," the Oswaft officer said.
"He needs medical attention," Flora said still holding her light saber.
"The medical bay is close to the bridge, he will be treated," the officer said. Flora lowered her light saber and followed.
Styke exited the elevator and sliced through the doors going into the medical bay. Without thinking he sent electricity into the room killing the sickly and injured immediately. Fatigued from using his Force powers Styke slashed the nurses and doctors.
Regaining his senses he found a frightened nurse hiding behind a desk. "Come with me, you're going to lead me to the bridge," he demanded.
The nurse led him to the lock doors. "Do you have a security card?" he asked measuring the thickness of the doors.
"Yes," she stammered putting the card through the machine.
The doors began to open. "Good," Styke said and then Force crushed her to death.
Entering the bridge he was immediately stunned by an expert shot by Lando. Styke fell to the ground; his light saber fell to the floor.
"I would have thought the Jedi would be more civilized," Lando commented. The captain and his officers were also present.
Glen and Flora were escorted to the bridge. "The medical bay has been destroyed," the Oswaft officer said.
Styke smirked as he held his gut. "You killed them didn't you?" Flora accused.
"They had it coming," Styke muttered.
"How is Glen going to heal now?" Flora demanded of him.
"He will be transported to another ship, but only if you follow through with our demands," Lando said.
"What demands?" Flora asked.
"The Empire wants to exterminate the entire Oswaft race," Lando said pointing to the distant Imperial Fleet.
"That can't be true. The Oswaft are in rebellion," Flora charged.
"If not for the foolishness of your commander we would have been done for. We don't have heavy arms like the empire," Lando said.
"Let one go, and the rest will," Flora said.
"I have proof," Lando said activating a screen.
"Only your extermination can be allowed," Gepta said on the screen.
"See?" Lando said.
Flora frowned revolted. "He must be disobeying orders," Flora said.
"Maybe, but he's a threat to these people," Lando said.
"What do you care smuggler," Styke said still on the floor.
Lando gave a surprised look. "How do you know? That's not the point, you need to help us, the Jedi order are supposed to be for peace and justice," Lando said.
"We can't make this decision, we need to contact Master Skywalker," Flora said.
"Communication is impossible in this nebula," Lando said.
Flora was in a bind. "I can communicate directly with Master Skywalker on the Imperial Flag ship. But I want assurance, you have to come with me," Flora pointed at Lando.
"And what of these two?" Lando asked.
"They'll remain here as collateral," Flora said.
Lando considered. "If you betray me these two will die," he said seriously.
"I understand," Flora said.
Flora and Lando arrived at the docking bay. "We're using my ship," Lando said pointing to a stock freighter. Lando opened the door and went inside. Flora joined him at the controls. "The Millennium Falcon, it can outrun any ship in the Imperial fleet," Lando bragged.
"I doubt you have a permit for this ship," Flora said.
The Falcon's engines ignited, the ship went out of the docking bay towards the Imperial fleet. "A Corellian freighter has been detected by our sensors," an officer reported.
"Hold your fire, we don't want another incident on our hands," Gepta said.
"They want to negotiate a ceasefire," the communication's officer said.
"Let them board," Gepta allowed. The Falcon landed inside the Imperial Star Destroyer. Lando and Flora exited the ship.
Gepta and his men greeted Lando while Flora sneaked by. She went into the elevator shaft and headed toward the communications deck. "Let's end this the old fashioned way," Gepta said.
"A duel outside the ship, or I'll send an electromagnetic missile into the nebula," Gepta grinned.
"You got yourself a deal," Lando said having no choice.
Flora entered the communications bridge. "I need to contact Master Skywalker," she demanded.
"I can't let you do that, only authorized personal," the officer said.
Flora ignited her light saber. "Right away," the officer said creating a link to Coruscant.
Lando and Gepta fired at each other without any real accuracy. They both bounced along the hull in space
Styke finally regained his senses. Using the Force he captured the captain's gun and began shooting. After he had successfully killed everyone and ruined the controls he summoned his light saber.
"Why did you do that, now the entire race of Oswaft will be killed," Glen said getting to his feet.
"Like you cared," Styke sneered.
"I do now," Glen said igniting his light saber.
Styke and Glen clashed with their light sabers. Glen tried several strokes but failed to undermine Styke. Styke took the butt of his light saber and knocked Glen out cold.
"Be thankful I didn't do worse," Styke said putting Glen on his shoulders.
"Master Skywalker, commander Gepta is planning on exterminating the entire race of Oswaft," Flora reported.
"You have my permission to relieve him of duty, another fleet will arrive shortly," Anakin Skywalker said through the hologram.
The hologram deactivated Flora rushed to the bridge. Lando shot Gepta in the ankle causing his body to collapse. In the last moments of his life he activated a button on his suit.
Flora barged into the bridge. "Unarm the missile," she ordered.
"It's too late," an officer said. The missile was away. "No," Flora said softly.
Styke threw Glen rudely into his Jedi star fighter and took off blasting away the docking bay doors. "You'll thank me later," Styke said as Glen moaned.
The Jedi star fighters put distance between it and the battle ship. Lando space walked back to the docking bay to collect his Falcon. With no time to check on Flora he went into the Falcon and sped off away from the fleet. He could see the missile going straight for the nebula.
The missile hit the nebula and detonated. "Move the fleet away from the impact," the captain said as Flora sank to her knees. "Glen and Styke," she cried.
Styke put on maximum speed as the missile hit. The powerful pulse was gaining on them. The entire Oswaft fleet exploded as well as the home planet. Styke's ship went into a fast spin toward the Imperial fleet
"We found something, a fighter," an officer said.
"Is it one of ours?" the captain asked.
"Jedi star fighter," the officer reported.
"Bring it in," the captain ordered.
Styke carried Glen over to the storm troopers on the scene. They took him to the medical bay. "You're alive," Flora said hugging Glen close.
"Your welcome," Styke mocked.
"I'm not speaking to you," she said leaving. Styke looked at a broken Glen and stalked off, a test tube shattering as he left.
To be continued….
Author's note: A few chapters will be used to create a movie version of Star Wars to the best of my amateurish ability. It takes place BBY 3 although some conflicting stories have it set at BBY 5; in any case what has been featured is the Battle of ThonBoka.
The X-Box game Star Wars Revenge of the Sith did inspire some thoughts of mine as I successfully beat Obiwan, and it came out of my strong sense of loss when Anakin is beaten by Obiwan in the film. It was really tempting to kill Obiwan off, but he may show another appearance soon.
Teaser:
"You have been beaten, it's pointless to resist," Anakin had his red light saber at Luke's throat.
Luke swung widely avoiding his father's powerful swing.
"Past, present, future, old friends long gone," Yoda said to Luke.
