Chapter 4: Betrayal
As the Millennium Falcon boarded the Star Destroyer, the crew was immediately taken to the detention block. Luke was glad to see Leia and Chewie, along with the droids. Lando got to know Luke. "I understand you helped in keeping the Princess safe," Luke said. "Yes ," replied Lando, "I had a backup plan." "What about Han?" Leia asked. "I heard he's been taken to Jabba the Hutt." "No, he's coming here," Luke replied. "Why?" asked Lando. "I believe Vader has another plan in place. We should hear from him soon."
As Slave 1 was approaching the Star Destroyer, Boba Fett he told the men to take Solo out before him. The men pushed the slab of carbonite toward Vader. Boba Fett said, "What's this about? I was just reaching Tatooine." Vader replied, "Release him." The men did as ordered. A noise was heard from the slab and the figure of Han Solo turned red and cleared to allow Han to breathe. "Captain Solo, you're on the Star Destroyer," said Vader. "You are not my prisoners." Vader lifted a hand, Han Solo thought he was going to be choked; instead, it was Fett who was losing breath. "Please, Vader. Don't do this." "I have no further need of you." Fett collapsed to the ground. "Get rid of that."
One of the lieutenants approached Vader, "My Lord, Jabba the Hutt wishes to speak to you." "Open a channel," Vader said. The lieutenant acknowledged. "The mighty Jabba asks why he has not received his deal, the illustrious Captain Solo," the protocol droid translated. "You, oh mighty Jabba have been a curse to me for as long as I can remember. You are in no need of Captain Solo. Right now, a contingent of my men have been your prize for being the greatest gangster in the galaxy. Or should I say, the most ugly slime-ball! Begin". At the word, "begin", Vader's Fist, the 501st Legion, attack the palace, leaving no one alive. Jabba is dead! Other legions attacked camps of Tusken Raiders.
"Well, I guess I owe you one, Lord Vader." Han Solo said. "You owe me nothing, Captain. I only ask that you take your ship back and escort us to Coruscant." "Coruscant, huh? We'll I guess you're into something sinister or something good. Let me get Chewie to start up the ship." Han left for the hangar. Luke looked at his father. Vader said, "Release him of his chains." The officer did as commanded. "Now, son, fulfill your destiny. Join me and we will rid the galaxy of the filth that is the Sith." "Father, you're surrendering to the Republic?" "Yes, son, but no one must know, yet." "I'll keep it between us for now, Father." "Good, now join your friends. I'll be right behind you." Luke started toward the Falcon, "And Luke," Luke turned back, Vader put up his hand, "Your lightsaber. You'll need it soon." "Thank you, Father." Leia approached Vader, "I sense something different about you, Darth Vader. And I feel that we are connected somehow." Vader looked down at his daughter, "All truth will be revealed in time, Princess. For now, join Captain Solo and his crew. I'll be right behind you." Vader turned to his most superior, "Admiral Piett, when the shuttle leaves, commence auto-destruct sequence. Get your men out of here and make your way to the orbit of Coruscant. I'll meet you there shortly." "Yes, Lord Vader. Prepare for auto destruct sequence."
When the shuttle left the hangar, escape pods from all over the ship launched, within minutes, the Super Star Destroyer, and two other SD's made a collision course and blew into oblivion. The Empire was falling.
