Tyrion laid fast asleep on the ground as Boba and Bronn sat near him, both being early for waking up. Boba was watching as Bronn inspected his blaster. This world might be interesting, but it was still primitive.

"So this piece of junk just shoots fire when you pull the trigger?" asked Bronn as looked at it.

"Yes" said Boba.

"So this little piece of metal is the most advance thing in the Known World. The boys in Braavos would pay mighty fine for something like this" said Bronn as he tossed the blaster back to Fett.

"Tell the boys at Braavos that I'll shoot them if they try to take my blaster. SO what do you make of our new boss?" asked Boba, fully aware that Bronn was a cutthroat like him that was only in it for lots of money and cheap frills.

"He's alright. Fine manners, good sense of humor, and he pays well" said Bronn.

"The last one is all that matters. To me, Tyrion is just my replacement Jabba" said Boba.

"So it's switching to a wealthy slug to a wealthy dwarf then?" said Bronn.

"Exactly" said Boba.

The conversation would of gone on longer, but then both heard the sounds of footsteps and breaking twigs. Boba immediately got up and positioned his blaster towards where the noises were most loudest. Bronn drew his sword and crouched down at shook the Imp awake.

"Tyrion...Tyrion...Tyrion" said Bronn, saying the last Tyrion while slightly stepping on Tyrion's foot. Tyrion immediately woke up and looked around to see the trouble that was around them. Hill tribesmen were slowly making their way towards them. There were many of them. Boba quickly identified the big one with the beard and the axe as the leader.

"Come, share our fire. Help yourself to our goat" said Tyrion. Boba Fett didn't know what Tyrion was thinking. If the Hill Tribesmen were anything like the Tusken Raiders on Tatoonie, then they would take the goat and kill them. The big man got nearer and nearer.

"When you meet your gods, you tell them Shagga, son of Dolf of the Stone Crows sent ya" said Shagga. Boba guessed that the Stone Crows were a group of the Hill Tribes; many species in the galaxy had that sort of thing involving tribes. The Empire's Noghri Death Commando's were like that.

"I am Tyrion, son of Tywin, of Clan Lannister" said Tyrion. Boba had to admit, Tyrion was brave for an unarmed dwarf.

How would you like to die, Tyrion son of Tywin?" asked Shagga.

"...In my own bed, at the age of eighty. With a belly full of wine and a girl's hand around my cock" said Tyrion.

Boba was lucky he was wearing a helmet, because he cracked a huge grin. He was starting to like Tyrion, even if they were about to die. Boba could probably take out twenty of them, but it has been proven before that primitive weapons can overpower technology if there were many wielding them. Shagga himself was amused at the joke, for he laugh for a few good seconds.

"Take the halfman, he can dance for the children. Kill the other two" said Shagga. The hill tribe then started advancing towards Boba and Bronn. Both raised their weapons and were ready to take as many of them to hell with them before they died. But before any blood could be spilled, Tyrion held up his hands.

"No, no, no, no , no. My house is rich and powerful. If you see us through this mountain, my father would shower you with gold" said Tyrion.

"We've have no use for a halfman's promises" said Shagga

"Halfman maybe, but at least I have the courage to face my enemies. What do the Stone Crows do? Hide behind rocks and shiver when the knights of the vale ride by. Are those the best weapons you could steal?" said Tyrion, referring to Shagga's axe "Good enough for killing sheep, if the sheep don't fight back. Lannister smiths shit better steal"

Shagga then brought his axe up and slashed Tyrion across the face, cutting his left cheek.

"You think you can win us over with your trinkets?" asked Shagga.

Tyrion stared at Shagga for a few seconds before he reached to his left hand, removing the ring on it. He then handed it to Shagga. Shagga took the ring and inspected it.

"That trinket, is worth more than everything your tribe owns" said Tyrion as Shagga put on the ring "But if you help us, Shagga son of Dolf, I will not give you trinkets. I will give you this" said Tyrion as he held out his arms.

"What is this?" asked Shagga, repeating the motion Tyrion made.

"The Vale of Arryn. The lord of the Vale have always spat upon the Hill Tribes. The lord of the Vale wants me dead. I believe it is time for new lords of the Vale" said Tyrion.

While Shagga thought that over, Boba was thinking of something too. Boba was watching how Tyrion worked. He used his wealth and intellect to help him in situations. Jabba only had the wealth. If this was Jabba in this situation, Jabba would of squirmed while Boba and Bronn were butchered trying to win a losing fight. Boba cracked a grin. Maybe Tyrion would be fun to hang around with.

.

Tyrion, Bronn, Boba, Shagga of the Stone Crows, Timett of the Burned Men, Chella of the Black Ears, and all the rest of them were approaching the Lannister camp that a hills tribesman spotted.

"From here, it might be best if Bronn, Boba and I continued alone" said Tyrion.

"Best for Tyrion son of Tywin, not best for me" said Shagga. "If the halfman betrays us, Shagga son of Dolf will cut of his manhood-"

"And feed it to the goats yes" said Tyrion as Bronn and Boba smiled.

"Alright then, time to meet my father" said Tyrion as he and the rest started moving towards the Lannister camp. Why Tywin was out all the way into the Riverlands, Tyrion couldn't guess. They soon were at the entrance to Tywin's tent. When Tyrion, Bronn, Boba, Shagga, Timett, and Chella entered, they saw that Tywin and Kevan Lannister, Tywin's brother and second-in-command, were going over plans when they saw Tyrion and his group.

"Tyrion" said Kevan.

"Uncle, father" said Tyrion politely.

"The rumors of your demise were unfounded" said Tywin.

"...Sorry to disappoint you" said Tyrion.

"And who are these...companions of yours?" asked Tywin, staring at Boba Fett the longest.

"...This is Shagga son of Dolf, chieftain of the Stone Crows. Timett son of Timett, ruler of the Burned Men. This...fair maid is Chella, daughter of Cheyk, leader of the Black Ears. And here we have Bronn, son of..."

"You wouldn't know him" said Bronn.

"And this is Boba Fett of Kamino, son of Jango Fett and Mandalorian Bounty Hunter" said Tyrion nodding towards Boba, who gave a formal nod towards Tywin. Both of him and Kevan were confused at the terms Kamino and Mandalorian, but let it go unnoticed. "May I present my Lord father. Tywin son of Tytos of House Lannister. Lord of Casterly Rock, Warden of the West. Kind of you to go to war for me" said Tyrion as he moved forward for a drink only to have Tywin take the cup away from him before he could reach it.

"You left us no choice. The honor of the House was at stake. Your brother wouldn't have submitted to capture so easily" said Tywin.

"We have our differences Jaime and I. His is braver, I am better looking" said Tyrion.

"He's been covering himself in glory" said Tywin.

"Jaime smashed the River Lords at the Golden Tooth. And now lays siege to Riverrun, Catelyn Stark's own homeland" said Kevan.

"And the Stark's Lord Eddard?" asked Tyrion.

"A hostage. He will lead no armies from his dungeon cell" said Tywin.

"And how did my dear sweet sister convince her husband into imprisoning his dear friend Ned?" asked Tyrion.

"Robert Baratheon is dead. Joffrey rules in King's Landing" said Tywin. Tyrion looked to Kevan to confirm it, who only smiled and nodded.

"My sister rules you mean" said Tyrion.

"Stark's son has called his banners. He moves south with a strong host" said Kevan.

"A green boy, one taste of battle and the boy will ran back to Winterfell with his tail between his legs" said Tywin.

"Maybe, though the boy does have a sort of belligerence. You'd like him. While were on the subject of war, I made promises of my friends here. And a Lannisters always pays his debts. We shall require 3,000 helms and shields. Plus swords, pikes, gorgets, maces-" Tyrion stopped when a servant came forward.

"if it please my Lord, Ser Addam bids me report that the Northmen have crossed the Twins" said the servant. Tywin looked a bit furious before he stood up.

"The wolf rushes into the Lion's Jaw so be it" said Tywin. He then turned towards Kevan "Kevan, command the drummers beat assembly. And send word to Jaime that we'll be moving against Robb Stark" said Tywin.

"At once my Lord" Kevan said as he left. Tywin then got up and inspected the men Tyrion brought. He looked at each of them for several seconds, staring at Boba Fett the longest. Tyrion used this opportunity to get a drink while his father's back was turned.

"It is said that the men of the Mountain tribes are great warriors. Ride with me against my enemies and you shall have all my son promised you and more" said Tywin.

"...Only if the halfman fights with us" said Shagga. "Until we hold the steel he pledged us, the little lions ours"

Tyrion at first looked surprised, but after seeing the look his father gave him, he just gave up and sat back down.

"And as for you-" Tywin said as he turned towards Boba "-I have never heard of Kamino or your father, yet my son claims you are a skilled warrior. Are you willing to prove that?"

Boba stared at Tywin for a few seconds before taking his blaster out of his holster. Tyrion at first thought he was going to shoot his father, but Boba only pointed the blaster towards the entrance and fired. When the blaster fired, everyone jumped back at the noise. The only noise that Tyrion, Tywin, or anyone heard after that was the sound of a bird giving off a loud screech. Tywin stared at where Boba fired for a second before moving outside the tent. He saw that the men gathered around a fat pheasant that was shot out of the air, a black mark imprinted onto it. Tywin stared back where Boba was standing next to Bronn. The man shot a bird without looking. He would be a useful man.

"So what your telling me is that not only is Jabba the Hutt, one of the Empire's most useful allies, is dead. But also that Luke Skywalker and his friends have escaped the planet passed your skills" said Emperor Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious. The emperor was yelling at his servant, Mara Jade, the Emperor's Hand. She was a force-sensitive woman that was trained and raised to be the Emperor's top assassin, killing rebels and those Sidious wanted dead. She was a vicious woman, strong in the dark-side of the force, though only because Sidious was controlling her personality, like many of his past apprentices. Once the Emperor disposes of one and they live to tell the tale, there personality either returns to normal before Sidious got them or they are beyond help and become insane monsters. Mara Jade was here right now because she was assigned by Palpatine to spy at Jabba's Palace, knowing that Luke would try to save Han Solo. Now she was being punished because not only did Jabba die, but because Luke and his friends escaped the planet.

Darth Vader was watching the whole thing by the Emperor's right, almost feeling sorry for the poor girl, almost. Originally they were suppose to be at the Death Star over the Endor system, but the Emperor sensed a great disturbance in the force at Tatoonie. Palpatine had Vader escort him to Tatoonie to investigate, punishing Mara Jade while he was at it.

"Forgive me Master, when I left to locate Skywalker before he left the planet, I found that he and his friends along with the Millennium Falcon were gone" said Mara Jade.

"How could an entire ship with seven people slip past you?" asked Palpatine.

"Master, I can't explain. I checked the records of the ships that left Tatoonie and no ships that matches the Falcon have left the planet. It's like they were whisked away by magic" said Mara Jade.

The Emperor stared at Mara for a few seconds, stroking his chin in thought. He then cracked a grin and cackled.

"So that's it" he said.

"What's it Master?" asked Jade.

"Vader, prepare a shuttle and take me to the planet's surface"

"Yes my Master" said Vader, his voice altered by the mask he wore.

"What about me...my master?" asked Jade.

"Oh, I almost forgot" said Palpatine.

And before you could say Hoth, the Emperor force-pushed Mara Jade out of the Star Destroyer's viewing screen, breaking through the glass and floating in space like an asteroid.

"Mara Jade was a powerful servant" said Vader.

"Mare Jade was a powerful failure" countered Palpatine "She was a loyal child, but I sense her loyalties were wavering. Besides, I have other Hands out in the galaxy, she was just a girl ready to be replaced in a minute"

"You wouldn't have done that in the past, my Master"

"Something just happened to gain us new allies Lord Vader"

"New allies, Master?"

"Yes, take me to the surface as I shall explain"

.

The Imperial Shuttle landed a dozen feet away from Ben Kenobi's house. The Emperor and Vader walked out of the house, a squad of Stormtroopers behind them.

"Why arrive at Obi-Won's abandoned house?" asked Vader.

"Before I explain that my apprentice, do you know anything of the Lion Aslan?"

"He was mentioned in the records of the Jedi Temple before the Empire destroyed the Temple and wiped out the records. It was said that Aslan was a being that visits planets when it is in great need"

"Very good Lord Vader. Now look over there" said the Emperor as he pointed towards a dent in the earth. "That is where I last sensed Luke Skywalker. The reason he and his friends escaped Tatoonie unnoticed was because Aslan pulled them out of the Galaxy and put them in a new world"

"So Skywalker is on a quest set by Aslan. Though Aslan doesn't know how truly powerful the dark side of the force is" said Palpatine. He then stretched out his hands to where Orion's comet hit Luke and the others. Then all of a sudden, a rip in the air appeared, expanding until it was a hole in the air. While Orion's holes in the air had a silver light surrounding it, Sidious' have a black light around his.

"So we follow the rip in dimensions and find Skywalker" said Vader.

"And gather allies from other worlds while were at it" said Sidious. "The galaxy will know how truly powerful the Empire can be. Contact our servants. I want Admiral Piett, Grand Moff Argon, Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Noghri Death Commandos, and all Stormtrooper units reported for this. And bring the Death Star. We brought the Dark side of the Force to the Galaxy, now we shall bring it to the other worlds too" said Sidious with a hideous smile.
