The Death of a world.
Leia could do nothing but stand and cry.
She just watched the world that that was her home for her whole life up to this point, destroyed within a moment. Vader watched as Leia turn glared to a neutral face Tarkin with hate in her eyes at what she said next.
"Tarkin, if ever there was a shred of humanity in you or these twisted creatures of yours, it's dead now. The Empire has now declared war with life itself. You are enemies of the universe...your Empire is doomed." She says with a voice dripping with anger.
Tarkin looked back without an ounce of emotion. He raised a hand at a pair of stormtroopers." Take her back to her cell."
The two stormtroopers nodded and escorted the devastated princess away. Leia did her pest to keep her head held high like the princess she is, but could not stop the tears. While this happened, Vader walks out of the Death star's command room and makes way for his privet quarters he has on the station. Upon entering, he pulls out a holodisk. Quickly the image of a stormtrooper commander appears.
"Did you get the plans commander?" Vader asked the stormtrooper.
The trooper shook his head. "Negative sir, but I did spot the young woman with feline ears you told me you are after." The clone replied before showing a captured image the women pointing some kind of weapon.
Vader looks at the image given as he continues to talk to the clone in his private chambers. Ever since Appo died, this clone has become his closest ally in the Empire, even boarding to friendship.
At the Falcon, Ben watches Luke returned to practicing with his father's lightsaber. Before Blake lent him her sword to practice a few moves, suck as sword swings without the risk of destroying anything like a blade of plasma would have. He tried to help by giving advice on properly holding the sword or demonstrating move sets that a Jedi uses. When he brought the floating seeker bot, Blake shied away, not trust the droid after it shot her when she first met it.
As Luke was working on his defensive positioning, Kenobi suddenly clutched his heart and let out a quiet but agonized gasp. He stumbled to the side to the wall before sitting down and breathing hard. His face quickly turned a deathly pale white, and his brow furrowed in concern.
Luke deactivated his blade and walked over to his pained mentor. "Are you alright? What's wrong?"
"Is something wrong with him?" Blake asked, concerned by this sudden situation. Which Luke mirrored.
"I felt a great disturbance in the Force…"He answered them. "As if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."
Blake and Luke are now more confused by this at this as Ben rubs his forehead. He seems to drift into a trance. Then he fixes his gaze on Luke. "You'd better get on with your exercises. Blake, this next part of Luke's training will do on your own."
"Alright," Blake says.
"Thanks for showing me some of your moves, they will definitely help me out," Luke said gratefully.
Blake smiled as she sits near Chewbacca. "Your welcome."
Solo strolled into the lounge with an air of swagger and a satisfied smirk. "Well, you can forget your troubles with those Imperial slugs. I told you I'd outrun 'em," he proudly announced. "I told you I can outrun them." Receiving no kinds of adulation or congratulations, Solo's smile faded as he slumped into a nearby chair. "Well, don't all thank me at once."
The only female on the ship rolled her eyes, "thank you, Han," Blake says, brining the Smuggle to smile again.
As that was going on, 3P0 watched Chewbacca and his little companion R2, engrossed in a game in which three-dimensional holographic figures move along a chess-type board.
Solo then spoke again. "Anyway, we should be near Alderaan soon, so we got a bit to relax."
"That's good to know," Blake replies to Solo.
Chewbacca and the two robots sit around the lighted table covered with small holographic monsters. Each side of the table has a small computer monitor embedded in it. Chewbacca seems very pleased with himself as he rests his lanky fur-covered arms over his head.
"Now, be careful, R2," 3po says warning to his partner.
Artoo immediately reaches up and taps the computer with his stubby claw hand, causing one of the holographic creatures to walk to the new square. A sudden frown crosses Chewbacca's face, and he begins yelling gibberish at the tiny robot.
3P0 intercedes on behalf of his small companion. It begins to argue with the tall Wookie about this, Blake observed this and chuckles. Chewie's reaction to losing almost reminded her of Yang when she losses in video games.
"He made a fair move. Screaming about it won't help you." 3P0 points out.
Han then gave the golden droid some advice. "Let him have it. It's not wise to upset a Wookie."
3PO looks at Solo in some shock. "But sir, nobody worries about upsetting a droid."
Han then smirked as he explained the rest. "That's 'cause droids don't pull people's arms out of their socket when they lose Wookie's are known to do that."
Now Blake really thinks Yang and Chewie would get along as she held herself back from chuckling as the Wookie put his claws behind his head.
The protocol droid got the point then. "I see your point, sir. I suggest a new strategy, R2. Let the Wookie win."
Luke stands in the middle of the small hold area; he seems frozen in place. A humming lightsaber is held high over his head. Ben watches him from his corner, studying his movements.
Blake also did this. From the start of his training, Luke had been soaking up whatever he learned like a sponge. He seems to be doing well a fair job as he tried to deflect lasers.
Han watches with a bit of smugness, but he was curious how this will all go about.
"Remember, a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him." The old Jedi tells him.
Blake was curious about what the Force is when she head that word as she continued watching on this training.
"You mean it controls your actions?" Luke asked, splitting focus between the training orb and Kenobi.
"Partially, yes. But it also obeys your commands." Ben says as Blake and Luke listened.
About ten feet in front of Luke, the seeker, floats to one side of the youth then the other. Suddenly it makes a lightning-swift lunge and stops within a few feet of Luke's face. Luke doesn't move, and the ball backs off. It slowly moves behind the boy, then makes another quick lunge, emitting a blood red laser beam as it attacks. It hits Luke in the leg, causing him to tumble over, and the droid flew back into Kenobi's hand, switching itself off.
Han lets loose with a burst of laughter as some people in the area look at him. " Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid," Solo says, giving his opinion.
"You don't believe in the Force, do you?" Skywalker asked, deactivating his lightsaber.
Han sighed and leaned forward in his chair. "Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything to make me believe there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. There's no mystical energy field that controls my destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense." Solo says, giving his honest opinion.
Blake talks then. "Well, my race and humans of my world have an ability called semblance you seen it when I made a clone back at Maz bar, Solo."
Ben smiled quietly at Solo a little amused and interested in what Blake said along with Luke but decided to ask about it later after training was over.
He walked over to a nearby shelf and retrieved a sturdy-looking helmet with an opaque visor, handing it to a baffled Luke. "I suggest you try it again, Luke. "Ben places a large helmet on Luke's head, which now covers his eyes. " This time, let go of your conscious self and act on instinct."
Luke laughed at this a little this got to be a joke. Blake was more curious about this as Luke spoke then. "With the blast shield down, I can't even see. How am I supposed to fight?" Luke asked The Jedi master.
"Your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them." Ben remarked.
Han skeptically shakes his head while Blake watched on with interest. Ben throws the seeker into the air again. The ball shoots straight up in the air, then drops like a rock. Luke swings the lightsaber around willfully missing the seeker, which fires off a laser bolt that hits Luke square on the seat of the pants. He lets out a painful yell and attempts to hit the seeker but missed.
"That...got to hurt," Blake said, wincing a little on where the droid shot.
Ben then gave Luke some more advice. "Stretch out with your feelings."
Luke readied his stance again, this time much more relaxed than he was before. His body was like a coil of energy, ready to spring into action immediately. The probe fired three times, but Luke's body blurred into motion before the shots were even taken. The boy blocked all three blasts cleanly, with Kenobi smiling after the demonstration.
"Wow," Blake said as the ball ceases fire and moves back to its original position.
"You see," Ben says with a pleased smile, "you can do it."
Han just rolled his eyes. "I call it luck."
"In my experience, there's no such thing as luck."
Solo then spoke challenge to Ben. "Look, going good against remotes is one thing. Going good against the living? That's something else." Solo says, making a point a training droid is nothing compared to a killing foe.
"Oh come on now, Solo. A guy learning to do that on the first day of learning a new weapon. That was really impressive," Blake says. The Faunus not noticing the slight blush the farm boy was making at the praise.
Solo notices a small light flashing on the far side of the control panel before anything more could be said. "Looks like we're coming up on Alderaan." Han and Chewbacca head back to the cockpit, but Blake stayed.
"You know, I did feel something. I could almost see the remote." Luke said.
Ben smiled. "That's good. You have taken your first step into a larger world." Ben says proudly.
Blake just smiled at this. She felt a bit proud of Luke in the training he was making.
At the Death Star in the conference room, Imperial Officer Cass stands before Governor Tarkin and the Dark Lord Darth Vader.
Tarkin turned to the officer that entered. "Yes?"
"Our scout ships have reached Dantooine. They found the remains of a Rebel base, but they estimate that it has been deserted for some time. They are now conducting an extensive search of the surrounding systems." The officer explained.
When Tarkin heard this, he realized that he was tricked by the Alderaan princess and made him a fool.
"She lied! She lied to us!" Tarkin growls.
"I told you she would never consciously betray the Rebellion." If one knew the dark lord well enough, they know the tone in Vader's voice did not sound angry, only amused on that he was right on how Leia tricked Tarkin.
"Terminate her… immediately!" Tarkin ordered it was out of anger, yes and that Leia pretty much humiliated him. But Since they destroyed her planet, they won't be getting anything out of the princess. So the only thing they could do with her now is to execute her and be done with this.
