"There he is!" one of the stormtroopers called.
"Get him!" the legion's commander shouted.
The troopers charged. Luke ignited his lightsaber.
The battle was on.
The stormtroopers opened fire, and screams filled the air as people ran for cover. Only Luke fought back.
Green plasma sliced through white armor as soldier after soldier fell… but more and more troopers just kept on coming. It wasn't long before there were too many of them.
"Go, R2!" Luke shouted. He and his droid sped off in the other direction…
But another wall of stormtroopers was in their way. Luke then saw a narrow alley that led to another street. He ran over to it and went through it, R2 speeding behind him.
This street was also filled with running people.
"There!" Luke called to R2, pointing to an old building. They hurried behind the building… and entered the empty lot where they had left their X-Wing.
Luke fastened R2 into the ship, and then climbed into his own seat.
"Here we go!" he said, and the X-Wing took off.
From the street, the New 501st stormtrooper legion watched their enemy escape.
The Emperor would not be happy with them.
…………………………………………………………….
"That was too close." Luke sighed. "How could the Empire have known we were there?"
R2 beeped a confused reply.
"We'd better hurry before they find us again." Luke said. "To Kerran." Once again, he jumped to lightspeed.

In their shuttle, the 501st legion approached a massive Star Destroyer. They landed in the docking bay and exited the ship. The commander went to report their failure to Emperor Suoidis. Would they be punished?
And if they were…
How?
