Hello everyone. Sorry for the long wait. Here is chapter 11. I hope that you will enjoy it. :)
The trip through hyperspace took a few minutes, until Nightfly and his friends managed to arrive at Yavin four. The sight of the blue and white planet, caused them both to become shocked as they couldn't believe that they are finally there at last. They landed on the planet's surface, where they got out of the TIE fighter ships that they'd flown.
When they had got out of the two TIE fighter ships, they began to make their way towards the base together. It wasn't long before they were spotted, which led to the appearance of an female White Macaw as she slowly walked towards them. It quickly got their attention, especially when they learned that it is the princess of Alderaan.
The title caused them to bow in respect to the princess, before they were told by the princess to rise to their feet. They did so obediently, knowing that in front of them is an very important person as they stood in silence in front of the famous royal. She studied them closely, until she finally smiled as she spoke to them in an calmly tone.
"Hello, let me introduce myself, I'm Leia, the princess of Alderaan" said Leia as she spoke to the four. "I have been told, that you four helped bring the plans to us, correct?".
"Yes, we did, your highness, those plans are important to you guys" said Nightfly as he spoke to Leia. "We would never, let the empire get their wings on the plans, ma'am".
"I agree, besides, we won't let Obi-wan's heroic death be in vain" said Xander as he became determined. "Darth Vader won't get away with it, he'll pay for what he's done".
"Don't worry, Xander, we will do our best to bring him to justice" said Leia as she gently comforted Xander. "But for now though, we really need to destroy the Death Star".
Nightfly watched as Xander nodded his head, knowing that the latter is still reeling from the death of Obi-wan. He understood his pain, because he had an strong bond with the legendary Jedi Master due to the fact he helped start his Lightsaber training. He knows he will always be in his debt, while knowing that he will help free the galaxy.
They were about to follow princess Leia, when Bia and Carla hesitated after they had quickly spotted their father. It stunned them in their tracks, which got the attention of both Nightfly and Xander as they went over to the two in concern for the two of them. They wondered why they hesitated, before they had quickly spotted Commander Blu.
"Hey Bia, what's the matter?, what's wrong?, you need to go to him" said Nightfly as he looked at his girlfriend. "He's your dad, he would be very happy to see you again".
"The same goes for you, Carla, your father needs to see you're alive" said Xander as he tries pleading with Carla. "If you go over to him, he would be glad that you're safe".
"We know, but, we don't think now is the right time for any of that" said Carla as she tenderly touched Xander's cheek. "Besides, what if the empire managed to track us?".
"Carla is right, we can't afford to put our father in danger, Nightfly" said Bia as she looked at Nightfly with a worried look. "Also, we need to get as far away from here, too".
Nightfly and Xander weren't sure about the idea, until they thought that they could use some more training. It is also at that very moment, Nightfly remembered about the mysterious Mandalorian warrior who had strangely appeared on his home-planet. He knows that he needs answers, so he decides to accept Bia's idea of leaving Yavin four.
He went to talk to princess Leia about the decision, something she accepted as she understands the reasons. She wished Nightfly good luck, the latter nodding his head in thanks as he gave a respectful bow before he returned back to Bia and the others. When he was returning to Bia and the others, he talked to Luke Skywalker and Han Solo.
"Hey Luke, how are you doing buddy?, I'm glad that you're ok" said Nightfly as he shared a hug with Luke. "I have got something to tell you, buddy, something important".
"Hi Nightfly, I'm glad that you and Xander, survived the mission" said Luke as he happily returned the hug. "Also, what is it that's so important, that you want to tell me?".
"Well, Xander and I, both thought we should continue our training" said Nightfly as he looked calmly at Luke. "So, we, along with Bia and Carla, will be leaving you guys".
Luke was surprised by this revelation from Nightfly, before quickly wonder about why he is leaving this early. He wasn't sure what to make of it, except hoping that they will be back in time to help the Rebellion in freeing the galaxy of the Galactic Empire. He had his back turned to Nightfly, until he finally faced him with an confused expression.
"Why?, at this time?, when we really need you guys to help us?" asked Luke as he tried to make sense of it all. "I get that you need more training, but, you're leaving now?".
"I'm sorry Luke, but, I promise you, we will be back to help you" said Nightfly as he looked at Luke in the eyes. "We will come back, to help the Rebellion defeat the Empire".
"I know, but, I was just hoping that you guys would really stay" said Luke as he looked solemnly at Nightfly. "Especially after what happened with Ben, I can't do this alone".
"You're not alone, Luke, Ben will always be with you, my friend" said Nightfly as he patted Luke's heart area. "He'll always be here, so will me and the others, we'll be back".
Luke nodded as he gave the teenager a hug back, the latter responded by returning it as they hugged together. After hugging for a few minutes, they released each other as Nightfly began to walk off in search of Han Solo in order to speak to him. It didn't take him long to find the smuggler, who is currently talking to Chewbacca in a nearby area.
"Hey kid, I'm glad to see you again, I thought you left already" joked Han as Nightfly laughed along with him. "Besides, Chewie and I are going to be leaving ourselves, too".
"Hey Han, well, Xander and I will be leaving soon too, buddy" said Nightfly as he spoke in an calm even tone. "We'll be continuing our Jedi training, but, we will come back".
"That's ok kid, besides, Chewie and I will be waiting for you" said Han as he gave Nightfly a warm friendly hug. "Everyone is going to need you, including your friends too".
Nightfly gladly returned the hug as he held Han close, before the two released each other as Nightfly saw Chewbacca. The latter saw him too, that resulted in the two having a good hug together until they released each other after a few short minutes. Han smiled proudly at the sight, before he watched the young teenage Nightfly walk away at last.
When they were finally back into the darkness of space, Xander managed to give the coordinates to Mandalore. This got Nightfly very curious, although he helped Xander take their spaceship to the planet of Mandalore as they quickly entered hyperspace. When they exited hyperspace, they found themselves looking at the planet of Mandalore itself.
They quickly entered the famous planet's atmosphere, before they eventually land on a nearby landing platform. After landing their spaceship, they got off as they agreed to start looking for the legendary Mandalorians in hopes of getting some answers. They didn't have to look far, because they found themselves surrounded by the Mandalorians.
Xander began to slowly reach for his blue Lightsaber, although Carla managed to stop him from doing just that. The situation became tense, Nightfly looked at Bia with worry as the latter looked at him with the very same facial expression on her face. Suddenly the leader of the group, told the group of Mandalorians to stand down as they did so.
Nightfly along with Xander as well as Bia and Carla, could only watch as the Mandalorian group lowered their weapons. They came face-to-face with the leader, who began to remove it's helmet in order to look upon them with it's very own eyes. What the young teenagers saw shocked them, especially after the leader had removed it's helmet.
It is revealed to be a female Scarlet Macaw, who has green eyes as she looked at the four with suspicion on her face. Nightfly and his friend knew well, that they must show they are not a threat or people who have come looking to cause a lot of trouble on Mandalore. They kneeled down in respect, hoping to show that they aren't the enemy.
"I am Bo-Katan Kryze, the leader of the Mandalorians" said Bo-Katan as she looked at her mystery visitors. "Please state your intentions, or else there will be trouble".
"Sorry about coming to your planet, but, we need help" said Xander as he looked bravely at Bo-Katan. "We need your help in particular, my friend needs special training".
"Hmmm, special training?, we can indeed provide that" said Bo-Katan as she became very interested. "So tell me, why do you need special training from us, anyway?".
"It is for my home-planet, it is ruled by the empire" said Nightfly as he managed to get Bo-Katan's attention. "Also a mysterious Mandalorian, wants me to save Mandalore".
This caught Bo-Katan's interest instantly, who ordered the four to begin following her as they obeyed her orders. While they were following her, the other Mandalorians kept walking behind them in order to make sure that they didn't make any attempt to kill their leader. It is something that, Nightfly and his friends have no intention of doing.
