Chapter two – the resistance

After a couple of minutes, a distinctive ship flew down to the landing pad, they were on. The craft had an unmissable element of asymmetrical design to it, the paint job was once a republic red with the rest the unpainted metal, however it now had an orange rebel symbol on each winglet. As it made a landing approach the winglets spun up, and landing gear dropped from the bottom of the craft. Then a ramp dropped to the floor with a clank. Two men walked down it.

"Evack, Malccon!" Veze yelled with joy in her voice.

"why so ecstatic." Malccon the one on the left enquired, he was wearing a grey vest with olive green trim on it, over the vest he wore a brown waist coat. The man had brown trousers with black knee high boots, and to his belt a duel ended lightsabre was clipped. On his arm he had a black swirly tattoo.

"your late." She snapped in a playful manner.

"yer but were here now." The other man, who had heavy blaster armour, which was blue with orange stripes running down the left arm.

"shut up Evack." Luke added joining in on the discussion.

When aboard the cramped ship, the three Jedi sat in the crew cabin, while Evack piloted. Veze had a scar across her eye, and both her hands where mechanical. The women's skin was pure white, she also had a tattoo running from the back to the front of her head.

"Prepare for light speed." the pilot warned.

The ship juddered as it entered light speed, causing the brunette boy to go flying the floor. Laughing Malccon picked himself up. That was the first time that happened for a while.

Arriving back at the former rebels, now the residence base, they all departed from the eighth shadow (the ship). They were greeted by general layer, and Han solo.

"where's chewie." Malccon asked

"He's repairing the falcon" replied solo.

"what did you do this time." Veze questioned

"I did nothing" Han answered with a very offended tone.

Soon they found themselves in the cafeteria, catching up on all the adventures they'd been on. They all had a cup of tea. Because they'd been talking so long the tea had turned stone cold. This however had become somewhat of a tradition, as they often spent long times apart.

Suddenly a siren blared out, resistance troopers ran in every which way. Layer headed off to the command centre.

The base shook, as it was bombarded by heavy artillery canons. As dust fell from the ceiling, Luke and the other Jedi made their way to the main entrance. While Evack grabbed his rotary blaster, and mounted a defence behind some boxes. Flicking on their lightsabres, the three Jedi prepared for whatever came though the blast doors. But what happened next they were not expecting, the blast door started melting and a red blade stabbed through it.
