Chapter 8: Two Investigations

Just a few hundred light-years away from the invisible border line that separated the Empire from the rest of the universe flew the transport fleet that Xen and Boba were stealthily flying around waiting for the rebels to strike. This fleet was a decoy and bigger than any of the other ones before it. Sidious was not as idiotic in his age as he should have been. And he was not willing to sacrifice any more finishing touches to the Death Star.

The fleet flew slowly, not wanting the rebels timing to go wrong. An hour went by, and another than finally a small attack fleet made up of six rebel battle cruisers came out of hyperspace. Quickly Xen and Boba swung their ships onto a near by asteroid and waited. The little attack lasted for twenty minutes, as the rebels were entering their coordinates Xen tapped into their navigation computer with her own and downloaded the destination. She sent it to Boba being careful to disguise it as a regular wave of electrons typically found around star cruisers in space.

Once the rebels left Xen and Boba entered the coordinates into their computers and headed for the rebel destination, a moon called Yavin IV.

Yavin IV

Obi-wan and Anakin headed into the base hanger. Padmé had briefed them on what Bail wanted them to do, they were more than happy to as anyone could imagine. Both had decided it best to take a civilian transport the rebels owned. It was big enough to hold about eight people. But before going to this super weapon they needed an imperial ship. Since the fighters were droids and they couldn't capture a cruiser they had to go to Coruscant and steal a shuttle.

Obi-wan's shuttle he got on Tatooine wouldn't cut it, even though it was Lamba class it wasn't the right model, Sidious and his comrades preferred the newer 2019 Lamba class shuttles, Obi-wan had the old 1018 class. As their ship broke the atmosphere Anain began to furiously enter coordinates into the navigation computer.

" Anakin?"

" Mmm?"

" Are you in some big rush to get to Coruscant or have you just acquired a taste for typing fast?"

" No, I'm in a big rush to get to their weapon station or whatever its called."

" Really, and why is that?"

" Because I want to see how big the station is and check out its engines and stuff master." Anakin replied sarcastically.

" What, are you worried that when we get there the engines will be gone?"

" No, I'm worried when we get there the engines will be armed."

Obi-wan chuckled slightly as the ship sped into hyper space.

" Anakin you should know that engines are never armed. Its the view ports."

" Is that so?"

" Well of course."

" And how do you know so much about view ports master?"

" Well after traveling the galaxy with Qui-gon you tend to pick up a few things."

" That's wonderful."

" I know."

" And so it that lightsaber you have."

" Anakin, don't start."

" Obi-wan you know I will never let you forget this."

" Anakin, Anakin, Anakin, dear Anakin, I will never forget it so you can stop lecturing me now thank you."

" No, I need some insurance policy and your words don't cut it."

Coruscant

Landing in on the old senate building where Sidious kept his shuttles was a very easy task. But sadly it was about to get a bit more… complex. As Anakin and Obi-wan exited their ship thirty battle droids approached them. The droid with red markings was the first to speak.

" We need to see your permit." The droid said. Anakin feigned searching his pockets while grabbing his lightsaber.

" Sorry, It appears I left it at home."

" Left it at home? That… that doesn't compute… you are under arrest please drop all your possessions and do not resist when we hey drop those lightsabers" But he never finished as one of those blue lightsabers decapitated him. The rest of them hesitated before opening fire as there were several high ranking people approaching. The Jedi cut them down and ran for the first shuttle they saw.

" That was smooth Anakin, ' it appears I left it at home'."

" I learned it from you Obi-wan."

" Well that just makes me feel all fuzzy inside then."

They then boarded the shuttle and off the went.

Yes this chapter was a little to… comedyish, and that was not a real word so ignore it, well don't ignore it but… never mind. Just know that this isn't turning into a comedy.
