Once the ship landed on Yavin Four, Lucifer went off to hand over the Imperial Moff, leaving strict instructions that Pyro was not to be left alone under any circumstance. He said this while Pyro was happily incinerating the wings of some insectoid life form that he had found in the hangar and not listening to the conversation. Quartz and Emerald decided that Pyro would be all right for a while and they left, leaving some excuse about a map. Pyro was left with nothing to do, except wait for Lucifer, Emerald or Quartz to get back. So he went outside the ship and started setting random things on fire.
A girl walked in to the hangar and started staring at the Hellrunner.
She has weird hair, Pyro thought.
Then, an evil thought occurred to him.
Pyro snapped his fingers at her and watched the resulting chaos. He began laughing so much that he fell off the ship.
Lucifer walked into the hangar, obviously deep in thought. He glanced up at Pyro and Leia and kept walking. A second later, he froze and spun around.
There Pyro was, laughing at something that was funny, when his "best friend" walked over to him and grabbed him by his carefully spiked hair.
'Put it out,' Lucifer snarled.
'Oh, fine then, spoil sport,' Pyro grumbled dejectedly.
He stopped burning Leia's hair, but only because Lucifer made him.
Okay, Lucy. The fire is gone. THAT MEANS YOU CAN LEAVE NOW. So I can reignite it. It's a great word, reignite. It reminds me of fire. Thought Pyro, in what was quite possibly the most sense that his thoughts had ever made.
Lucifer spun Pyro around by his hair to face him.
"Oh, you were reading my mind again, weren't you, Lucy? I'm sorry. It was a joke. You're not supposed to be reading my mind anyway" Pyro squeaked.
"I can't help it, what with the way you broadcast your thoughts. Keep them to yourself if you don't want me to know," Lucifer snapped.
In his anger, he forgot to correct Pyro's nickname for him, thereby dooming himself to be subjected to it for all of eternity.
Leia stopped screaming and walked over to the bounty hunters, still a little traumatized by her recent misadventure.
Lucifer let go of Pyro's hair and bowed and kissed Leia's hand.
Real gentleman, he is, thought Pyro. Huh. As if.
'I apologize for my companion's behavior, please forgive him, milady, as, having the intelligence of the average Mynock, he doesn't know any better,' Lucifer said.
Pyro opened his mouth to argue that point, but upon receiving an agonizing kick to the stomach, he felt differently about the idea.
'Well, you, at least seem civilized,' Leia said to Lucifer.
Lucifer straightened up and pushed Pyro to his knees in front of Leia.
'Punish him as you see fit,' he said.
'Ah, Lucy, do you know what you're doing?' Pyro asked fearfully.
'You burned her hair off; she should decide on whatever fate shall befall you,' Lucifer said coldly, choosing to ignore Pyro's choice of names for him.
Pyro whimpered and started shaking. He looked at the Leia who now had an evil smile on her face.
She grabbed him and dragged him off.
'Come on, crazy guy, I'm gonna introduce you to a friend of mine. His name is Chewbacca,' Leia said.
'Lucifer, help me,' Pyro screamed at his friend.
Lucifer smiled and waved. Once they were gone, he jumped on top of the ship at sat exactly where Pyro had been before Leia arrived.
Lucifer sighed. Pyro's stupidity had ruined Lucifer's plan to stay at the base until the next job popped up.
Now, they had almost no money, no jobs, and hardly any fuel and as soon as Princess Leia Organa told the rest of the Alliance Council what Pyro had done, they would be either forced to leave Yavin 4 or tried as criminals in the Alliance Courts.
Half an hour later, Emerald and Quartz got back from their expedition to the other side of the base. When they saw Lucifer sitting on the ship and Pyro missing, they froze and began formulating excuses.
'Where were you, anyway? Did I not tell you to stay here?' Lucifer asked from where he was sitting on top of his ship, with his eyes closed.
'Did you even open your eyes?' Quartz asked, trying to dodge the subject.
'No,' Lucifer replied.
Quartz frowned.
'My question still stands,' Lucifer said. 'Where were you?'
'We made a map of the base. I figured the Empire would be pleased,' Emerald said figuring that they might as well tell the truth.
Lucifer nodded.
'A third of both of your payrolls will be docked for the next month. Be glad it isn't three quarters,' Lucifer droned.
Emerald nodded and looked around.
'Where's Pyro?' she asked.
'He set an Alliance Leader on fire, which is why we have to leave fairly soon,' Lucifer said.
Emerald sighed.
'Are we going to get him back, or should we just leave?' she asked.
'Chewbacca sounds a lot like a Wookiee name, doesn't it? Lucifer asked.
'Okay then, let's go, I'm sure we can find a new pilot somewhere,' said Quartz.
They were interrupted when a barely conscious Pyro was dragged into the room by a Wookiee, followed by a girl wearing a wig and a scruffy-looking man.
'He's learned his lesson,' Leia said.
The Wookiee dumped Pyro on the ground outside the ship and the three left.
Quartz ran over to Pyro and tried to help him up.
'No, Quartz,' Lucifer said.
'Lucifer, how could you say something like that? He was attacked by a Wookiee!' Quartz asked, horrified.
'Will he live?' Lucifer asked impassively.
'Yeah, but he's hurt,' Quartz said.
'Well, you are the medic here, get him ready to pilot the ship by the time we leave,' Lucifer said.
He jumped off the top of the ship and started climbing the ramp.
'Wait, Lucifer'- Quartz started.
Lucifer paused.
'He brought this down on himself. Make sure you don't get blood all over my ship, we leave in an hour,' he said.
Quartz stared open-mouthed at Lucifer.
True to his word, Lucifer forced Pyro to get up one standard hour later.
'Where are we even going?' Pyro asked.
'Tatooine, Jabba will pay us a fortune for that map,' Lucifer said.
'If you really want to get lots of money for it then we should go to Coruscant,' Pyro said.
'We're not going to Coruscant,' Lucifer said.
'Okay, fine.' Pyro said.
He took off rather shakily.
A few minutes later Pyro tried again.
'It was just a suggestion, you should at least consider it,' he muttered.
'I did,' Lucifer lied.
The ship entered hyperspace and Pyro stumbled off to his room to fall back to sleep.
