ABY 3

Hoth System

Glen crossed the icy plains of Hoth riding his Tauntaun. The beast ran on two legs adapted for snow. It could sustain the cold winds of Hoth, Glen was wearing a heavy rebel issued parka. He wore goggles to protect his eyes and face.

A probe droid fell from the sky and impacted the snow. Glen took his electrobinoculars to check out the supposed meteorite. He saw smoke rising from the crash but not the droid itself.

"Echo Three to Echo Seven. Han, do you read me?" Glen said through his com link on his wrist.

"Load and clear, what's up?" Han asked.

"Well, I finished my circle. I don't pick up any life readings," Glen said.

"There isn't enough life on this ice cube to fill a space cruiser. The sensors are placed. I'm going back," Han said riding his Tauntaun back to the base.

"Right. I'll see you shortly. There's a meteorite that hit the ground near here. I want to check it out. It won't take long," Glen said signing off.

Glen took out his electrobinoculars out again. In the distance he saw the outlines of a ship. Concerned he rode towards the ship. Before he got too close a laser bolt hit his Tauntaun killing it. Glen fell off the beast and rolled away before it could crush him. Storm troopers hidden in the snow began firing on Glen. Glen ignited his light saber deflecting the fire.

Luke walked calmly on the snow wearing a black Imperial designed parka. He watched as Glen slowly beat back the storm trooper's laser fire. Glen sliced through the last storm trooper and confronted Luke.

"We meet again," Luke said.

"You killed my master in cold blood," Glen accused.

"You helped to kill my mother, you were with the exile," Luke shot back.

"Styke killed your mother, it was the Sith," Glen shouted.

"Styke is a hero, you fled like a coward. It's time to end this," Luke said igniting his blue light saber.

Glen frowned igniting his green light saber. Luke rushed Glen, his blade clashing with his. The two blades could barely be seen in the pale light of the snow. Luke violently slammed at Glen with his blade while Glen successfully dodged the attacks. Luke finally Force pushed Glen sending him down into a cave. Glen deactivated his light saber as he slid down into a cave. Luke jumped into the cave slicing away at the ice crystals in the cave. Glen blocked Luke's blade as he came near enough.

The owner of the cave, a Wampa creature growled at the intrusion of the two Jedi. Luke kicked Glen away. The Wampa attacked Glen knocking him to the ground. Glen took his blade and sliced the creatures arm off. The Wanpa cried out in pain walking away from the powerful prey. Glen, bloodied from the attack took a defensive stance to Luke.

Luke took his light saber and slammed down on Glen. Glen blocked but the ice exploded as Luke went through with the attack. "You're father; he's not what you think. I know the truth now. He killed Palpatine and all the Jedi in the temple. Palpatine fixed the Clone Wars," Glen said trying to convince Luke.

Luke was too distracted to care. He sliced at Glen missing. Glen blasted Luke's wrist with a light blow. Luke angry from the wound got close enough the Glen so that their blades almost touched each other. He pivoted on his foot and whirled his blade slicing into Glen's side. Blood fell into the snow as Glen backed away. Glen fell to his knees holding his gut.

"Please, we both won't survive this cold. We have to work together," Glen said.

"I can always call for reinforcements," Luke said confidently.

"Look at your wrist," Glen gasped.

Luke inspected his wrist to find that his communicator has been sliced open. Luke stared at Glen speechless. His damaged ship was useless and he was too far away to get back anyway. "We have to work together," Glen insisted.

"Maybe we should both die, at least I would know your dead," Luke said.

"Please, understand. You have been tricked. Your father has enslaved billions, the alliance only wants peace and democracy," Glen said.

"Lies, you are for chaos and strife. You would sacrifice order for worthless freedoms," Luke sneered.

"I have seen many terrible things, the slaughter of the entire Oswaft race. Your father trained Styke, he killed your mother," Glen said.

"Enough!" Luke shouted enraged. He used the Force to take Glen's light saber. Taking two blades he sliced through his chest killing him instantly. Luke considered Glen's light saber. Putting the light saber in his belt he walked away toward the entrance of the cave.

Luke climbed out of the cave, the cold wind biting into him. Luke realized with a certain dread that temperatures would drop dramatically during the night. In vain he tried to reach a ship, any ship to pick him up.

Along with the cold Luke had been wounded by some of Glen's attacks. He looked over the horizon, nothing but snow and mountains in the distance. Luke walked steadily toward no where slowly becoming lost and distancing himself from his ship.

Han got off his Tauntaun now in the rebel base. Taking his goggles off, he walked toward his Falcon. R2 units and workers were busy at work loading supplies and repairing the ships. Chewie was working on the Falcon welding metal pieces together. He wore a face mask to protect his face as he caused sparks to fly.

"Chewie," Han said greeting the wookie.

Chewie growled annoyed that Han wasn't helping him. "All right, don't lose your temper. I'll come right back and give you a hand," Han promised.

Chewie continued to weld as Han walked off. Han entered the center of the base. It's filled with military equipment used to monitor possible attacks. "Solo?" Rieekan wondered as Han walked into the base.

"No sign of life out there, General. The sensors are in place. You'll know if anything comes around," Han reported.

"Has Glen reported in yet," Rieekan asked.

"No. He's checking out a meteorite that hit near him," Han explained.

"With all the meteor activity in this system, it's going to be difficult to spot approaching ships," Rieekan said concerned.

"General, I've got to leave. I can't stay anymore," Han blurted out.

"I'm sorry to hear that," Rieekan said disappointed.

"Well, there's a price on my head. If I don't pay off Jabba the Hut, I'm a dead man," Han said.

"A death mark's not an easy thing to live with. You're a good fighter, Solo. I hate to lose you," Rieekan allowed shaking Han's hand.

Leia overheard the conversation; she was dressed in a white rebel parka uniform. "Thank you general," Han said finally.

"Well, Your Highness, I guess this is it," Han said with some remorse.

"That's right," Leia said coldly. She was not pleased that he was leaving.

"Well, don't get all mushy on me. So long," Han said wanting to have the last word.

Han began to walk away from the command center towards the Falcon. "Han!" Leia yelled at him as he walked away.

"Yes, your highness," Han said condescending.

"I thought you decided to stay," she said angry.

"Well, the bounty hunter we ran into on Ord Mantell changed my mind," Han excused.

"Han, we need you!" Leia argued.

"We?" Han questioned.

"Yes," Leia said repeating herself.

"Oh, what about you need?" Han asked knowing he was annoying the younger woman.

"I need? I don't know what you're talking about," Leia said mystified by the man's presumption.

"You probably don't," Han said shaking his head.

"And what precisely am I supposed to know?" Leia demanded.

"Come on! You want me to stay because of the way you feel about me," Han said wanting Leia to beg him to stay.

"Yes, you're a natural leader…" Leia began.

"No, that's not it. Come on," Han cut her off.

"You're delusional," Leia said understanding Han's meanings.

"Am I? Then why are you following me? Afraid I was going to leave without giving you a goodbye kiss?" Han reasoned.

"I'd just as soon kiss a Wookiee," Leia shot back.

"I can arrange that, you could use a good kiss," Han retorted walking toward the Falcon.

Upon reaching the Falcon Han realizes that something is very wrong. "Why did you take this apart now? I'm trying to get us out of here and you pull both of these," Han complained.

Chewie growled at Han irritated.

"Excuse me, sir," C3PO addressed Han.

"Put them back together right now," Han ordered ignoring the droid.

"Might I have a word with you, please?" C3PO asked.

"What do you want?" Han demanded of the droid.

"Well, it's Princess Leia, sir. She's been trying to get you on the communicator," C3PO reported.

"I turned it off, I don't want to talk to her," Han explained.

"Oh. Well, Leia is wondering about Glen. He hasn't come back yet. She doesn't know where he is," C3PO continued.

"I don't know where he is," Han said annoyed that Leia would be more concerned with Glen than him.

"No one does," C3PO said.

"What do you mean nobody?" Han asked. It had been some time since Han had entered the base.

"Deck Officer. Deck Officer!" Han shouted. "Do you know where Glen is?" Han asked.

"I haven't seen him. It's possible he came in through the south entrance," the deck officer speculated.

"It's possible, why don't you go find out. It's getting dark out," Han ordered.

The deck officer came back moments later. "Glen has not signed in at the South entrance, it's possible he forgot to sign in," the deck officer reported.

"Not likely, are the speeders ready?" Han asked growing concerned.

"No sir," the deck officer said.

"Then I'll use a Tauntaun," Han said walking towards one.

"It's too cold to go out, you'll freeze," an officer protested.

"Then I'll see you in hell," Han said riding onto the icy plains.

Han raced through the snow as night approached. Luke fell to the ground exhausted. "I am going to die on this ice cube," he muttered.

"Luke," a voice said to him.

Luke looked up and saw the image of Obiwan. "You! I killed you," Luke said slowly losing his sanity.

"I have become one with the Force, you must go to Dagobah," Obiwan told him.

"I don't take orders from the dead," Luke replied.

"You will be trained in the Force by Master Yoda. He will teach you the true nature of the Force," Obiwan said.

"I'll kill him too," Luke muttered.

"Let go of your hate or you will die where you stand," Obiwan warned.

"And what if I agree to go, then what?" Luke demanded.

"I will send you a messenger to save your life," Obiwan promised.

"You have a deal old man," Luke said fainting.

Han found Luke in the snow almost dead. "Glen!" Han shouted getting off the Tauntaun.

Han went over to Luke and pulled him out of the snow. "You're not Luke," Han realized. He inspected Luke's uniform and saw an Imperial logo on the parka. Han took out his pistol. "A spy huh," Han considered.

As Han inspected Luke, the bitter cold caused his Tauntaun to collapse. Han went over to it and found it dead. Han went back to Luke and saw his two light sabers, one he recognized as Glen's.

"Where's Glen?" Han demanded from Luke.

"In a cave somewhere….dead," Luke smirked.

"I ought to let you freeze," Han said angrily.

"Some messenger," Luke muttered.

"What? Tell me your name?" Han commanded.

"Luke Skywalker and I am not dying without a fight," he said reaching for his light saber. Han grabbed the light saber from him before he could do anything with it.

"The only reason I am keeping you alive is for Leia's sake," Han said dragging Luke toward the Tauntaun. Taking Luke's light saber he sliced open the Tauntaun. "This is going to be different that what you're used to, but it will keep you warm," Han said bitterly shoving Luke into the Tauntaun's gut.

Han leaned on the dead Tauntaun realizing that the worst night of his life was ahead. Leia reluctantly allowed the doors to close to keep the cold from entering the base. Chewie moaned as he realized Han had a slim chance of surviving such conditions.

"I want speeders to patrol the plains first thing in the morning," Leia ordered.

Author's Note: After looking at the progress made in this chapter I expect Star Wars V to reach five chapters making it a 60,000 word story. I appologize for the sudden death of Glen but I had no where to go with him. When Star Wars VI is completed I will begin smaller stories and I will increase the size of all the chapters. I read the new Darth Vader book, a good read, gave me some new ideas, and corrected some of my assumptions.
