Chapter 2

"Luke! What are you doing?! You're supposed to be reporting to High Command right now!"

"Gah!" The youth in question jerked suddenly, the magazine covering his face fluttering to the ground "Who? What?! Where?! LEIA!"

"The one and only, Farmboy!" Leia replied sarcastically, wrenching him to his feet, "Now wipe the drool off your face and come on! They have a very important mission for one of our only Jedi!"

Before Luke could wipe the drool from his face, the princess was marching him down the corridor. Recieving pitying glances as they neared the final set of double doors leading to the briefing room. The great blast doors grinding open, they were met with an amused group of Alliance leaders."

"Slept in did we young Skywalker?" General Kota remarked, smirking slightly. "Not very Jedi-like of you to be late for a meeting."

"Unless you're Anakin Skywalker that is.." The younger man next to him remarked, "He was famous for being fashionably late for just about everything."

"Careful Starkiller," The blind general nudged him playfully, "That's his kid we're talking to!"

At this teasing, Luke couldn't help but blush slightly. It seemed to happen a lot whenever the topic of his father's heroics came up.

"Now, now, gentlemen!" The crisp voice of Mon Mothma cut through the banter, "We have brought young Skywalker here for an important assignment, have we not?"

"Ah yes," Kota conceded, passing the senator a packet of flimsi. "Here you are Mon, everything needed for his assignment."

"Thank you General," Mothma once again turned her attention to a now (slightly more) aware Luke Skywalker.

"Luke," she began, holding up the packet, "In here you'll find vital information on infiltrating one of the Empire's most secure facilities. One that is responsible for the production of nearly the entirety of the Naval forces that we constantly face..." Her tone was now deadly soft, a feather with a hidden blade.

The young Jedi gulped soundlessly at the imposing picture she was describing before him. What could possibly draw them to send someone like him to a place like that?

"W-Where, is this place you're sending me to? I didn't quite catch that."

"It seems nerves are already getting to you young Skywwalker," Mothma chided softly, "I hadn't named your destination yet. You are going to act as a spy on the Kuat Drive Yards, where we believe something terrible is being built."

"Something terrible? You mean the Death Star wasn't enough?" Luke gasped, taking the new information.

"Yes, we believe they are nearing completion on a new dreadnaught. One far larger and more powerful than anything else before..."

"A Super Star Destroyer."

Haha! Hey guys! Here's an update for you all! I was finally able to get some time to myself and write! Lemme know what you think! (or have any suggestions!) Love it? Hate it?
