Chapter 4:
The Company meets the Wookies
The company was about to all start killing Frodo, but before anyone could make a move they heard a wild shrill call that sounded so foreign they couldn't place it.
"Is it the Nazgul again?" Frodo asked fearfully.
"If it is, we should all step back and let them kill you for your foolish deeds!" retorted Gandalf.
"Nay, it is not a Nazgul call…" Legolas began to say, but before he could finish his statement an army of big hairy creatures howling a war call with a lone man as their leader ran out of a portal at the edge of the nearby forest.
The creatures were equipped with bow casters where as the man was equipped with a blaster. But if the company thought that was strange, they were shocked at what came next! Shuffling out of the portal behind the army was what looked like a golden man!
"What the…" Link started to say, but before he could finish the company was barraged with bullets!
Luckily for them they had the White Wizard with them. Gandalf then mounted Shadowfax, swung both his sword and staff, and effectively hit the bullets back at the army. The firing ceased and the man stepped forward.
"You're a Jedi!" he proclaimed. Gandalf did a double take at that statement.
"Is that you, Ben Kenobi?" the man then asked.
"No you are mistaken on both counts; I am neither a Jedi or Ben Kenobi!" Gandalf replied.
The man looked aghast.
"Alright it looks like we need to hold a council with these weirdoes, and find out who they are and what they want with us!" Elessar demanded.
The man agreed to hold a council. The council lasted long into the night. Here is what happened in the council in brief. Both parties identified who they were to the opposing one. The company found out that Han Solo (the man) was a good friend with Luke Skywalker, a Jedi Master, who was the leader of the Jedi Council they were trying to get to on Coruscant. They also found out that the creatures were honorable Wookies convinced that the company of heroes were enemies, and were justified in their attack.
Han Solo and the Wookies found out that Gandalf was no Jedi, but just a powerful Wizard, and head of The White Council. Han Solo explained to the company that the Golden Man was actually a droid. At the end of the council it was agreed that Han Solo, his Wookie buddy, Lowbacca, and C-3PO, the Droid, would join the company. Now all in told the number of the company had grown to 9.
