Idea: During ESB Boba Fett answers Vader's call for Bounty Hunters. At the same time, Jango Fett and little Boba come through a rift in time and an old Boba and his granddaughter Mirta Gev come through another.
Vader felt the odd rift in the Force before he saw its effects. Suddenly, instead of one Firespray heading towards the Executor, there were two. The new ship was painted silver and blue. A second rift opened in the Force and a third Firespray - with a paint scheme that was identical to Fett's - appeared from nowhere.
"Hail the two ships that just appeared." Vader said to the nearest communications officer ignoring the startled and bewildered men at the sensor stations.
"Star Destroyer Executor to unidentified vessels, please identify yourselves." The communications officer said as he complied with Vader's order.
"This is Jango Fett aboard the Slave. I was headed somewhere and got pulled off course, can you tell me where I am?"
That had come from the first vessel, the blue and silver one. Vader frowned. Jango Fett had been the name of the bounty hunter who had captured him and Padme in the droid factory on Geonosis. He reached out towards the vessel with the Force. Aboard was a man and a person he could easily identify even though he seemed to only be a boy at the moment, Boba Fett.
"Tell them that they can come aboard, and direct them to the docking bay that the bounty hunters were given." Vader said to the communications officer who hurried to comply as the signal from the second mystery ship came in.
"Lord Vader, the pilot of the second ship claims to be Boba Fett flying the Slave I. He asked me to give a message to someone he referred to as "Vader Junior". I believe that he may be delusional." the communications officer who had responded to the second ship said.
"Give me the message." Vader said deciding to figure out the whole "Vader Junior" thing later.
"Solo, I think flying a replica of your grandfather's ship is going just a little too far." The harried communications officer said.
Vader reared back in surprise. Grandfather? Solo? He reached out towards the second ship with the Force. Boba Fett was indeed aboard much to his surprise, but he seemed older for some reason, and there was someone with him, a relative, a granddaughter? How the hell did a thirty-five year old man end up with an adult granddaughter? He reached out to the ship that hadn't come through a rift in the Force. Boba Fett was aboard this one as well, and he was alone.
"Direct the second ship to the same docking bay as the first." Vader said to the communications officer before turning to leave for the aforementioned docking bay himself.
Jango Fett was startled as his ship was abruptly pulled from Hyperspace. He looked around, and discovered that he was nowhere near Geonosis. The planet nearby looked like Hoth in fact. He knew because he had nearly frozen his ass off there chasing after a bounty years earlier. The place had been named after a Jedi General from the most recent of the Sith wars a thousand years earlier, and he found the name to be quite apt. Looking in the opposite direction from the planet, h noticed that his ship was slowly moving toward a massive thing that couldn't possibly be a ship. He did his best to hide his fear, Boba was growing increasingly nervous and it wouldn't do to panic him.
Suddenly the comm light lit. Someone was calling him. He pressed the button to allow the signal to go through.
"Star Destroyer Executor to unidentified vessels, please identify yourselves." Said a man in a tone of voice that stated that he clearly knew he had the larger and more powerful ship.
Jango was torn between calling back and running for it. The armed weapons that the scanners said were pointed towards his ship made his decision. He wouldn't give them more information than he needed to. Maybe pretending to be completely lost might work to his advantage. He gestured for Boba to be silent.
"This is Jango Fett aboard the Slave. I was headed somewhere and got pulled off course, can you tell me where I am?" He said.
The only response he got was that he was to head toward Docking bay eight, and any attempts at leaving would be met with lethal force.
He complied, silently praying that he could at least get his son out of this alive. He idly noted two more Firesprays nearby as he headed toward what was likely his doom.
Boba Fett tried not to let the pain get to him as he awoke from the light doze he shouldn't have fallen into considering the fact that he wasn't alone. His gaze shifted to the other person in the cockpit. His granddaughter, Mirta Gev, was filing her nails in a fashion that practically screamed that she was bored. Finding that clone who shouldn't still be alive was more urgent than his granddaughter realized. He could feel the end closing in on him, and he didn't think he even had the year his doctor had given him. Suddenly, the ship was wrenched out of hyperspace. The view before him was one he couldn't believe he was seeing. To one side of him was Hoth, on the other was...
"Star Destroyer Executor to unidentified vessels, please identify yourselves." A voice said over the comm.
He had to admire Solo's kid for one thing, the boy had balls the size of Yavin.
He reached over to the comm switch and sent his reply.
Upon being told to go to Docking bay Eight, he decided to humor the boy. Perhaps today would be the day he would show Solo's son why you didn't mess with what was his.
Boba Fett stared at the two Firesprays that appeared out of nowhere. One was painted like his father's old ship, the other was painted in a color scheme that was identical to his. Since they didn't look like they were going to collide with his ship, even though they came very close, he put them out of his mind. Probably some other bounty hunters trying to cash in on his reputation. He proceeded to Docking bay Eight.
Darth Vader had the distinct impression that the assembled Bounty Hunters weren't paying him the least bit of attention. They seemed more occupied with gawping at the group of Fetts who were busy with gawping at him, with the exception of the one he had mentally labeled "Present Boba" who was looking at his counterparts and becoming increasingly steamed.
Soon, the hunters were sent after their quarry with the exception of the assembled group of Fetts whom Vader was rather curious about. He ordered the men to remove their helmets so he could confirm what the Force had been telling him despite the fact that it was or at the very least should have been completely impossible. The men reluctantly complied, and he was faced with two nearly identical men - though one looked to be a few years older than the other - and an older man who looked like what the two men would be in a few decades if they had an accident with a vat of some sort of caustic substance in the next few years.
Jango Fett and his son were looking at the other two men in surprise, and the other two men were looking at him as if they would like to sock him. Actually, "Present Boba" was looking between the other two men as if he would like to sock them both.
Vader found the "Future Fetts" to be the most interesting as they could provide information on what could come as the current theories on time travel stated that one would not end up in the past of the universe one started out in, but rather in a parallel universe in which one was meant to show up and change things. It was to them that he turned and asked the question that had been bothering him since the Fett had sent his message.
"Why did you indicate that I had a grandson named Solo?" Vader asked the old man whose granddaughter was standing behind him looking at the ten year-old Boba in idle curiousity.
"Your daughter married the space bum about five years from now." The old Fett replied.
"My what now?" Vader asked, forcefully pushing away the horrifying mental image of his son getting gender reassignment surgery and courting the smuggler.
