A/N: sorry about the LOOOONG wait. I changed my pen name, btw. Now- CHAPTER 4!!!!!!!!!!

As they floated above the surface of Nalton IV, a small but habitable planet, Jaina sat horrified in the pilot's seat. "Z…Zekk?" Jaina could barely speak. "Why did you…how…" She was on the verge of tears when the cruel, emotionless voice answered her.

"I felt your presence. I have orders to destroy your ship, but I will save you one last time. Allow me to capture your ship, peacefully, and return it to its rightful place. We will escort you back to the Shadow Academy, and you will be prisoners, then…" Jaina whispered to her copilot. "Do you think we can do…IT?" Lowbacca let out a muffled affirmation. "Okay, we have one shot at this… Punch it, Lowie!"

"She is not answering me…" Zekk paced on the bridge of the new battlecruiser. "FIRE!" Turbolaser blasts streaked towards the Shadow Chaser's coordinates, but no hit, no explosion. Only a streak of fire heading for the planet surface.

"What in the Force did you do!?" Jacen yelled "That-"

"Master Lowbacca has referred to the maneuver as a 'short jump', a quick hyperspace jump that boosted us to the edge of Nalton IV's atmosphere. Oh, dear, we are exceeding recommended entry velocity…"

The Shadow Chaser landed hard in a desert area.

"Oww…" Jacen was bleeding from a small cut on his head, but no one else was hurt. "How did we survive that?"

"Probably inherited Dad's luck."

"It was most likely a combination of the shallow entry angle and the soft landing surface, however…oh, my, it would appear that the engines, hyperdrive, and weapons are all out of commission. This is not good, not goo-" Lowie shut off the translating droid and let out a sorrowful growl. They were going to be here for a while.

REVIEW PLEASE!
