The six men on the Gillia sat, talked, and laughed on the long trip to Hoth. Luke looked at the stormtroopers in front of him.

"But you know, I always thought of stormtroopers as people that wanted to harm me. But now... I see you different. You're not that cheap slimo."

LaRone cocked his head. "Thanks, I think..."

Brightwater and Grave laughed. "Thanks, Kid. It is nice for the Hand Of Judgment to be looked upon with a smile," Brightwater said.

Marcross smiled at Luke. "You're a good kid, Luke. Stay that way."

Quiller was still flying, when something came up on the holo. "Uh, LaRone. There's a gang of pirates on the planet directly below us, which is... Corellia. They have children held hostage. It's on my holo."

LaRone got up from his seat and walked over. He frowned before saying, "Land us. Use the code 11879034."

"Affirmative."

Quiller declined speed and eased them into Corellia's atmosphere. Luke looked at the planet, and Marcross got up to get 5 fresh BlasTech E-11's.

Grave got his sniper rifle out, and hauled onto his shoulder. "Well, kid. Pull that saber out. You're gonna see some action."

Luke nodded, and fingered his lightsaber. Action? Am I ready?

Quiller landed them without a hitch, and lowered the ship ramp. The 5 troopers and the young Jedi kid walked onto the streets.

"Okay, the fight is in Corellia sector 4. Right over," Quiller scanned the city. "Right over there."

LaRone nodded. "Okay men. Two to a row, and let's charge in. Ready... Charge!"

Luke was up front with LaRone, Brightwater jogged behind them with Quiller at his right, and Marcross ad Grave brought up the back.

They reached the battle area, and LaRone raised his blaster at a man dressed in pirates' garb. "HOLD IT!" LaRone bellowed.

"LaRone? Luke?" The pirate's eyebrows raised, and none other than Han Solo stood before them. "Boy am I glad to see you. Her Worshipfulness dropped me here alone to take care of this. I was calling in back up, but we can handle it now." Han drew his blaster and a pirate fell.

"You killed him?" Luke said, surprised.

"Yeah, kid. I said for them to hand over the kids. They refused. So, now I'm killing them. Fair enough?"

Luke nodded and activated his lightsaber.

LaRone put the troopers in a wide circle, surrounding the pirates.

"Hold it steady! And... FIRE!"

Han, Quiller, Marcross, LaRone, And Grave opened fire on the pirates. Luke charged in with his lightsaber, freeing the kids from their shackles.

After about 2 minutes of shooting, all the pirates were dead. pirates over. "Good work, Solo."

Han nodded. "Yeah, you too. I

Grave kicked on of thewould have been dead if not for you and the kid showing up when you did."

Grave nodded, and Brightwater was herding the kids back to their houses. "Now go on to where you live. Tell your Mothers and fathers you're alright. Go on now."

He turned around. "Nice work. Now, let's get going. Han, where's your YT-1300 freighter?"

Han looked at him. "The Falcon is at Echo Base. Her Worship dropped me here. Think you could add me along for the party? Run me and Luke to Hoth?"

LaRone laughed. "We were on our way there, Solo. Come along. 7 make, well, for a crammed Suwantek, but hey, it's alright."

Han grinned. "I always hated Stormtroopers. But you, Hand Of Judgment, are a BIG exception." He laughed and followed the troops and Luke to the Gillia.

Okay, so what do y'all think? More, or Drop it?
