Bespin System
As Brian and Chewie were flying the Falcon through Bespin airspace, they did their best to avoid being fired upon by the sentry ships that were following them!
"No, I don't have a landing permit. I need to land the ship and repair the hyperdrive so we can continue on to our destination." Brian said while doing his best to remain calm.
"Do not deviate from your present course." A male voice told Brian.
Chewie then mentioned something about an incident that involved Han.
"Do you think this Lando friend of Han's has forgotten about that?" Brian asked.
"I doubt it kid." Ahsoka said to him.
"You are to land at platform 327." The same male voice told Brian.
They barely breathed a sigh of relief as they flew towards the platform. Brian marveled at the buildings and structures that they had flown by, for the only things he grew up around were the trees and swamps on Dagobah. The ship landed a few minutes later, and the ramp was lowered. Everyone including the droids disembarked and both Brian and Ahsoka pulled up their hoods and kept their Lightsabers hidden. They then saw the door at the far end opened, and two people including security guards came towards them.
"Remember not to mention that we're Jedi here, and let's keep an eye on them." Ahsoka said to everyone.
The security guards stopped with one person with them, while the other one approached the group. He recognized Chewbacca, but no one else including the droids. He smiled up at Chewbacca while speaking to him.
"Chewbacca, you still hanging out with that loser Han?" He said while smiling.
Chewie said that he was, and that the Falcon needed repairs to the hyperdrive.
"What did Han do to my ship?" He asked while looking at both Brian and Ahsoka.
"I was under the impression that the ship belonged to Capt. Solo." Brian said to Lando.
"I'm sorry, it is his. But who are the two of you, and why isn't Han here?" Lando wanted to know.
"Capt. Solo had pressing matters, so we took his place for what needed to be done." Ahsoka told Lando.
"I'm sorry, I didn't introduce myself. I'm Lando Calrissian, I own and administrate Cloud City here." He said while smiling still.
"I'm Brian, and this is Ahsoka." Was all that Brian said.
"If you come with me, I'll have my people work on the Falcon in no time flat. She's the fastest piece of junk in the galaxy." Lando bragged to everyone.
Lando decided it was time to give the grand tour of the place, and to keep his 'guests' busy until Vader was ready for them. He hated to do this, but it was the only way to make sure that the Empire did not take over his operation here. He finally received a coded message from Lobot that the dining room was ready for their 'guests'.
"Would everyone care to join me for some refreshment?" He asked them.
Chewie was the first to say yes, while Brian and Ahsoka said they would as well. Lando led them to the main dining room.
"So how do you keep the Empire from shutting down your operation here?" Ahsoka asked.
Chewie growled that something didn't feel and smell right.
"I just made a deal that would keep the Empire out of here." He said while opening the door.
Inside, Vader stood up to greet everyone. Boba Fett stepped out from behind the back wall in case they tried to escape. Twenty Stormtroopers blocked their exit as well!
"I'm sorry. They arrived right before you did." Lando said in a sad voice.
"Fett, you and Calrissian can leave us now. And before you say another word Fett, you have been paid and then some. Just remember that when I need you, you will come." Vader reminded Fett.
Fett nodded and left with Lando. Once they and the Stormtroopers were left on the other side of the door, Vader spoke to everyone in the room.
"Where is Luke Skywalker? I need his help right now." Vader/Anakin wanted to know.
"Some place that you will never get your hands on him!" Ahsoka said in an angry voice.
"That voice! It can't be! I thought you died during the purges!" Anakin said to Ahsoka.
He then used the Force to pushed Ahsoka's hood off of her, and he was in shock!
"Ahsoka?! You live?! I had heard rumors…" Anakin started to say.
"You shouldn't believe all rumors now." Brian said to his father.
"And who is this with you?" Anakin asked.
"I'm someone that you didn't count on, Father." Brian said before removing his hood.
Anakin was in shock! He didn't know that his beloved Angel Padme was pregnant with twins! He thought Luke was the only child.
"What is your name?" Anakin asked.
"Brian Skywalker. And as for Luke…."
"Don't tell him anything Brian." Ahsoka told her nephew.
"Tell me what?" Anakin asked.
Ahsoka decided that since Vader was becoming Anakin again, she would be the one to tell him. Once she was done, everyone in the hallway heard only one word coming from the dining room: NNNNOOO!
