We're Wizards, Not Warriors: What If
Volume 7:
Chapter 6: The Rescue
We then see the planet of Jabiim.
We see Obi Wan being taken to be put in a bacta tank.
He was being healed of his injuries, slowly but surely.
But Obi Wan still couldn't shake his mind off of Sam and Leia.
They were in the clutches of Vader and Reva!
But he swore to the force, he would rescue them.
Whatever it took….
….
Meanwhile….
We then see the planet of Mustafar.
Vader's castle!
….
Inside the castle….
We see Sam in a room.
He was now wearing dark brown robes.
Sam then slowly woke up.
He groaned, "ugh…. What happened?"
Sam then looked at his surroundings.
It looked like a bedroom.
Sam then walked over to a window and he went wide-eyed at what he saw.
The smoke filled sky of Mustafar.
Sam knew where he was.
Sam whispered, "Mustafar…."
"You're finally awake."
Sam went pale in fear as he slowly turned around.
Vader stood at the doorway.
Sam felt himself shaking in fear.
He slowly backed away.
Vader then began to walk towards his son.
Sam shouted in fear, "NO! Get away from me!"
Vader stopped.
"Where is my dad? I want my dad", Sam cried.
Vader said, "Sam, I am your father."
"No you're not! My dad is Obi Wan", Sam said in anger.
Vader tried to contain his anger as he said, "I am your real father."
"No. My Real father is Anakin Skywalker…. But you are not him. My only father is Obi Wan Kenobi", Sam said.
Vader could barely contain his rage.
Sam could sense Vader was getting more angry.
Sam then ran to hide under the bed.
He was utterly terrified.
Sam heard Vader walk towards the bed.
Sam was shaking in fear as he saw Vader's boots in front of him.
He was scared of what would happen next.
Sam screamed in fear as Vader force pulled him from under the bed.
Sam was frozen stiff as Vader had him floating in front of him.
Sam began thinking of happy memories with his father in order to distract himself from the fear.
But Vader could see what Sam was thinking and this made him angry.
He growled, "soon, you will leave those memories behind, and think only of me…."
Tears fell down Sam's face as he began to cry.
Vader set him down on the bed.
Sam hid his face onto the pillow as he kept crying.
Vader said, "we'll discuss this later…. I must attend to other matters…."
Vader then walked out of the room.
Sam kept crying as he hugged the pillow.
"D-D-Daddy. Where are you? Please save me", Sam sobbed.
He then felt a gentle hand on his shoulder. He turned to see Revan standing there.
He said, "I'm getting you outta here."
Sam quickly hugged Revan.
Revan held Sam close.
"I want my dad, uncle Revan", Sam sobbed.
Revan said, "I'll get you back to them; I promise."
Sam hugged Revan even more.
Revan patted his head.
The doors then opened.
Sam cried in fear as he hugged Revan even more.
"Hello!"
Sam then saw One-One.
Sam yelled, "One-One!"
One-One said, "shhh! Quiet! I've come to rescue you!"
"Uncle Revan is planning the rescue as well", Sam said.
One-One asked, "who the heck is Revan?"
Sam then knew it was time to introduce Revan to One-One.
Sam said, "remember the curse I've got?"
"Yes", One-One said.
Sam said, "well, the curse caused someone to enter my mind, basically."
One-One exclaimed in shock, "what? Is that possible!?"
Sam said, "I have no idea. Regardless, Revan, a Jedi from long ago, is basically a passenger in my head."
One-One nearly felt his circuits short wire.
Sam asked, "you okay?"
"Can you prove what you are saying" One-One said.
Sam said, "not really. He's in my head. And droids can't read minds!"
"Oh darn it, you're right", One-One said
Revan laughed.
This made Sam smile a little.
One-One said, "well, I guess I'll just have to take your word for it, Sam."
"Okay", Sam said.
"Now let's get you out of here, Sam", Revan said.
Sam said in fear, "but what happens if we run into…. Him?"
Revan said, "I'll guide you on the best path of escape."
Sam hugged Revan and said, "thank you Uncle Revan."
Revan said, "no…. No problem, kid…."
To One-One, it looked like Sam was hugging the air.
"Weird, but I understand", One-One muttered.
Revan said, "now, I'm guessing the door is locked, so you'll need to use the force to get it unlocked."
Sam asked, "but can I really do it?"
"Yes, little one, I'm sure", Revan said.
Sam looked at the door.
Revan said, "just close your eyes and reach out. Both physically and mentally."
Sam then closed his eyes and reached his hand out to the door.
Revan said, "good. Now concentrate."
Sam then began to concentrate.
The door's locks slowly began to move.
Then the door slowly opened.
Revan said, "way to go, champ!"
One-One said, "Master Sam! You did it!"
Sam then opened his eyes and he gasped in awe.
Sam asked, "I…. I did that?"
"Yes you did, Sam", Revan said.
One-One said, "come on, let us hurry!"
Revan then began to lead Sam and One-One, (even though he couldn't see Revan.)
They twisted and turned through the halls of the castle.
They were able to avoid the guards.
One-One made sure to keep an eye on Sam's back.
"We're almost there", Revan said.
Sam asked, "where?"
"To the hangar", Revan said.
They soon entered the hangar, seeing several TIE Fighters lined up.
"Whoa", Sam said.
"That's what I said as well", One-One said.
Revan said, "let's hurry and commandeer one."
Sam nods his head as they run to the nearest TIE Fighter.
Sam and One-One jumped in as the latter said, "let me plug in and tell me where to set coordinates for…."
"Go ahead One-One", Sam said.
One-One plugged in and asked, "coordinates? Hello?"
"Sam, I can tell you where you need to go", Revan said.
Sam asked, "where?"
Revan said, "the planet Nur."
Sam asked, "the planet Nur? What's on that planet?"
Revan said, "you'll see soon enough."
"Okay, One-One, set the coordinates to the planet Nur", Sam said.
One-One said, "very well."
One-One then sets the coordinates and the TIE Fighter begins to take off.
Sam felt a sense of relief.
Little did he know of what he would encounter on the planet.
….
Meanwhile, we see Leia restrained in front of Reva.
Leia said, "you can't keep me here. My father is Bail Organa, he's a senator. I am a princess of Alderaan."
Reva said, "that's cute. You have no rights here, Princess. The Empire doesn't take kindly to Jedi sympathizers."
Leia said, "he will come for me."
Reva said, "oh. Obi Wan is dead. And Sam is with Lord Vader. Nobody's coming for you…."
….
Meanwhile, with Obi Wan….
We see Obi Wan, Tala and Hunter making plans to infiltrate fortress Inquisitorius.
They were talking to a man named Roken.
Roken was saying, "he shouldn't be here."
"I know you're upset, but….", Tala said but Roken cut her off.
"I mean it. Get him on the first transport outta here. Too many people are looking for you. You'll put us all in danger", Roken said to Obi Wan.
"I need your help", Obi Wan said.
"So does every kid making a rock float from here to Coruscant", Roken said.
Obi Wan said, "my son and someone else very important to me has been taken. I need your help to get her back."
Roken said, "General, I'm sorry, but that's not my problem."
Obi Wan said, "well, I wish that were true."
"She knows everything. Where we are, what we're doing. Roken, if she finds us, we need to prepare an evacuation", Tala said.
"I can't shut it down. Everything runs outta here", Roken said.
Hunter said, "oh great…."
Obi-Wan said, "then help us to get them back. I can't lose them. You've no idea what the Empire is capable of."
"I had a wife once. I knew exactly what she was before we got married. We tried to hide it. And the Inquisitors found her anyway. So I know exactly what the Empire can do", Roken said sadly as he sighed.
Hunter said, "looks like we've all lost people because of the Empire."
Roken said, "look, if you want my help, you got it."
We then see the group at a table as a hologram of Nur comes up.
Hunter said, "you're lucky I had an up to date map on this place. Nur. It's a water moon. It's in the Mustafar system."
Obi Wan said, "that's Vader's system. Is Vader there?"
Tala said, "we don't think so. Our intel shows he's on his ship, but he's close."
One guy named Wade said, "so that's it? Fortress Inquisitorius."
One woman named Sully said, "it's impenetrable, Wade."
Obi Wan asked, "how far down do you think it goes?"
Hunter said, "it's their base of operations. It's got a command center, a training facility, food court and whatnot."
Obi Wan said, "you've been there?"
Hunter said, "I'm a former Stormtrooper, remember?"
Obi Wan asked, "so do you have any idea in which part of the Fortress they might be holding Leia captive?"
Hunter said, "most likely in the detention level. There ain't no shields, mostly because no-one dares to attack it."
"We need to find a way inside", Obi Wan said.
Roken said, "yeah, well, we're not soldiers. Those T-47 speeders are for hauling sewage."
Obi Wan said, "they're ten years old. I won't leave them there. I'll go on my own."
"You can barely stand. You're not getting in there", Sully said.
"I'll go with him", Tala said.
Hunter said, "me too."
KeeKee meowed, as if to say, "me three."
"Well, I have officer clearance. I can get you inside, and I can get you access", Tala said to Obi Wan.
Hunter said, "and get me a pair of stormtrooper armor, I'll blend right in."
Obi Wan asked, "are your covers still intact?"
"We'll find out soon enough", Tala said.
Hunter said, "let's hope so…."
"We're wasting time. Get my ship fueled and ready", Tala said.
Obi Wan groaned slightly as he stood up.
KeeKee followed the group.
Hunter tried to help Obi Wan as he said, "I'll be alright."
Obi Wan hoped that to be true.
He would do everything he can to rescue his son and Leia.
Tala said, "your body is not the only thing that needs to heal, Ben. The past is a hard thing to forget. And you just need time, that's all."
"Some things can't be forgotten", Obi Wan said.
Hunter asked, "you really care about those kids, hmm?"
Obi Wan nods his head.
"Then you're gonna have to try. We're almost there", Tala said.
KeeKee was sitting on Obi-Wan's shoulder.
….
We see Reva with Leia.
Reva said, "we intercepted a transmission on Balnab last year. Bunch of talk of a secret network. A Path. We thought it was a lie. But a safehouse, like the one you were in, has been found in two systems."
Reva then slams a piece of wood onto the table.
The wood had a carving of the Jedi symbol.
Leia looked scared as she stared at Reva.
"I need to find out where they are, Leia, and I think you know", Reva said.
Leia asked, "how did he die?"
Reva lied, "he burned to death on Mapuzo. The people I'm looking for left him there to die. If you tell me where the Path is, you can go home to your family. This can all be over."
Leia said, "I don't know anything about a Path."
Reva said, "well, let's think a little bit harder, shall we?"
Reva stood up as Leia looked even more scared.
….
Meanwhile….
We see Sam's TIE Fighter arriving at Nur.
Sam then saw the Fortress and he felt scared.
Revan said, "calm down. This is where your sister is being held."
Sam asked, "but how am I going to help her? What if I get caught?"
Revan said, "I'll be there to guide you, just like on Mustafar."
That made Sam feel a little better. That's when they saw the fortress.
One-One said, "I'll locate an empty hangar."
It took a few minutes, but One-One was able to find an empty hangar.
The TIE landed within.
Sam slowly got out.
He whispered, "hang on, Leia. I'm coming…."
One-One then jumped onto Sam's back.
They and Revan set off….
….
We then see Tala's ship land in the hangar of the fortress.
The group were all in disguises.
Tala was wearing her imperial uniform.
Hunter was wearing stormtrooper gear.
Obi Wan was also in trooper gear. KeeKee hid in his shirt. The group walked past various imperial officers and Stormtroopers.
Hunter whispered, "just act natural."
"I'll try", Obi Wan whispered.
The group walked side by side. KeeKee was still as she was hiding in Obi Wan's shirt. She didn't meow or anything.
The group then came across a checkpoint.
Tala thought, 'here we go….'
"Identification", a guard said, "no admittance without clearance."
Tala said, "I have officer class C. Now, please."
The Guard then took Tala's cylinder and scanned it.
Tala asked, "is there a problem?"
"This isn't your sector. I can't let you through", the Guard said.
Tala asked, "and you are?"
The Guard said, "I am the lead security on this level."
Tala said, "then I'm your commanding officer, and you will address me as 'Sir.'"
The Guard said, "yes, sir, of course. But-"
Tala said, "perhaps I should just inform the Grand Inquisitor of your insolence. I'm here with classified intelligence. Do you know what 'classified' means?"
"Yes sir", the guard said nervously.
Tala said, "then why am I wasting my breath on you?"
The Guard said, "yes, Sir. Of course", and let the group pass.
As the Group entered the hallway, they all let out sighs of relief.
Hunter said, "step one, over and done."
"Now comes the hard part, finding the kids", Obi Wan said.
KeeKee began to smell something.
Her single eye went wide as she knew this scent!
It was Sam!
KeeKee then jumped out from her hiding spot and then ran towards where the scent of Sam was coming from.
Obi Wan said, "KeeKee! Wait!"
Obi Wan then chased after the cat.
Hunter and Tala raced after them.
KeeKee kept running as the scent of Sam was getting closer.
Then she bumped into someone.
"Ooof!"
KeeKee saw it was Sam she bumped into.
Sam exclaimed, "KeeKee!"
KeeKee purred as she began to lick Sam's face.
Sam smiled as he held her close.
"KeeKee!"
Sam went wide-eyed as he heard that voice.
He looked up in shock to see his father running down the hall.
"DAD", Sam cried in joy as he stood up and ran towards his father.
Obi Wan yelled as he ran to his son, "SAM!"
Sam and Obi Wan then hugged each other.
Sam was crying tears of joy as he hugged his father.
Sam cried, "I thought I'd never see you again."
Obi Wan held his son close to him as tears fell down his face.
Hunter and Tala arrived.
Obi Wan asked, "oh my boy. Are you okay? Did Vader hurt you?"
Sam said, "I'm okay, dad."
Obi Wan held his son close to him.
"Master Kenobi! I'm happy to see you", One-One said.
Obi Wan said, "One-One? You saved Sam?"
"Yes sir I did! I helped Master Sam escape that horrible castle on Mustafar", One-One said.
Obi Wan said, "thank the force."
"Now we just need to rescue Leia", Sam said.
Tala said, "c'mon, follow me."
The group then began to follow Tala.
They soon found a computer panel.
Tala then began to type into the Computer panel.
She said, "alright, I'm inside the system. Here we go."
"Hopefully with this, we find Leia fast", Sam said.
Tala began to pinpoint where Leia was.
"Found her", Tala said.
Obi Wan said, "Sam and I will go get her."
Hunter asked, "are you sure? Won't you need our help?"
Obi Wan said, "you cover Tala."
Tala nods her head.
Obi Wan and Sam ran off to find Leia….
….
Leia is still sitting across from Reva.
She asked, "is this a staring contest?"
….
Obi Wan and Sam arrived at a vent.
They heard Tala say, "Ben, I'm overriding an entry port. It should be right ahead of you."
The duo jumped in as Obi Wan replied, "we're in."
….
Reva said, "you're strong. The braver you seem, the more afraid you are. I learned that at a very young age as well."
As Reva spoke, Lola flew out from Leia's pocket, but Reva saw her and force pulled the droid to her hand.
Reva said, "I had a droid when I was younger, too. It was taken from me. Like everything else."
Leia looked even more scared now.
….
We then see Obi Wan and Sam still navigating.
Obi Wan asked through the comlink, "where is she?"
….
"Detention areas in a secure sector. Just keep heading north", Tala said.
….
Obi Wan and Sam then ducked behind a corner as a seeker droid passed by.
Sam whispered, "Seeker droid."
….
Tala said, "yeah, I see it. Looks like they're everywhere. You'll need to…."
"This isn't your station", a male imperial officer said to Tala.
Tala and Hunter glanced at one another.
"Let me see some identification", the Imperial officer said.
Hunter said, "er, well, ya see…."
"Come with me", the Imperial Officer said.
Tala and Hunter followed the officer.
….
Obi Wan asked through the comlink, "Tala? Tala, can you hear me?"
Sam whispered, "I've got a bad feeling about this…."
KeeKee hissed as a seeker droid came into view.
The group then ran to another hallway, Obi Wan then closed the door.
The seeker droid flew over to the door to see if it could see anyone, but then it flew off.
The group sighed in relief.
"Oh dang it", One-One muttered.
The group then saw Stormtroopers.
They quickly hid themselves.
Sam held KeeKee and One-One close.
"This place gives me the creeps", Stormtrooper 1 said.
"Hopefully we won't be stationed here for long", Stormtrooper 2 said.
Obi Wan and Sam were holding their bated breaths in worry.
….
We then see Tala and Hunter walk back to the station.
Tala asked, "Ben?"
….
"Oh dang it", Sam muttered.
Stormtrooper 1 asked, "did you hear that?"
The two stormtroopers then pulled out their blasters as they walked down the hallway and near Sam and Obi Wan's hiding spot.
Obi Wan quickly used the force to throw something.
"Over there. Let's go", Stormtrooper 2 said as they ran off
Obi Wan asked in the comlink, "what happened?"
Tala said, "I had some company. But it's been taken care of."
Sam said, "same here."
….
Meanwhile…..
We then see Leia and Reva who was still holding Lola in her hand.
Reva walked over and sat by Leia.
"I know what it's like being alone. Kenobi is gone. The people you're trying to protect, they are not coming for you. The only person that can save you now, Leia, is you", Reva said.
Leia looked like she wanted to cry.
Reva said, "tell me where they are. We're all on the same side here. These people, they'll leave you too. To die."
Leia said, "okay. I'll tell you where they are. I just don't want anyone to get hurt…. I give you my word. I'll have to tell my father first. But that's okay, right? You said we're all on the same side…."
Reva growled, "nice try, Princess. I hope you like pain."
Leia yelled, "I'll never tell you where they are!"
Reva hissed, "then it's time to make those tears real."
She dragged Leia away as the girl yelled, "let go! Let go of me!"
….
We then see Obi Wan and Sam walking down another hall.
Tala asked over the comlink, "Ben, where are you?"
"I think we just found the secure sector", Obi Wan said.
The group then came across a door which opened and they walked in.
….
We then see Leia being taken to a room.
She yelled, "let go! Let go! Help! Somebody help! Help me, please! What are you doing to me? Let go! Let me out! Help! Somebody help, please!"
She's soon strapped into a device.
….
Obi Wan and Sam were left in horror and shock at what they were seeing.
Tala asked, "Ben, what is it?"
Sam said, "I think we've just found out what they're hiding down here."
Obi Wan said, "this place isn't a fortress. It's a tomb."
Obi Wan then stands in front of the frozen body of Tera Sinube.
Sam whispered, "are these people…. Jedi?"
"Yes", Obi Wan said.
They saw the frozen body of a youngling.
Sam said in horror, "how could they?"
That's when Obi Wan heard a familiar voice.
"Master Kenobi?"
Obi Wan then froze as he heard that voice, it couldn't be…?
He turned to the cell where the voice had come from.
Standing in the cell, dressed in prison garb, was Aayla Secura!
Obi Wan quickly ran over to the cell.
He said, "Aayla?! You're alive!"
Sam asked, "you know her, dad?"
Obi Wan said, "this is Aayla Secura. She was a member of the order."
"Woah", Sam said.
Obi Wan asked, "how are you here? Why didn't they freeze you?"
Aayla said, "when Order 66 happened, I somehow survived my wounds and went into hiding. I got captured 2 years ago. They thought my status made me a more valuable prisoner."
"Well I'm going to get you out of here", Obi Wan said.
One-One said, "allow me, sir."
One-One then walked over.
He plugged into the locks on the cell.
"Okay. Then. That…. Should do it", One-One said.
The cell door opened up!
Aayla walked out of the cell.
She said, "thank you so much."
"Happy to help an old friend", Obi Wan said.
One-One said, "now we must find Ms. Leia!"
Aayla asked, "Leia?"
Obi Wan said, "long story regarding her and Sam here. We'll tell you later."
"For now let's hurry", Sam said.
The group began running off.
….
We then see Reva approaching Leia.
"You are gonna tell me what I wanna know", Reva growled.
Leia cried in fear, "what are you doing to me?"
"The same thing I do to anyone who doesn't embrace the Empire", Reva growled.
The device starts to beep.
Reva said, "this is your last chance, Leia. Say something!"
Leia yelled, "I'll never tell you!"
Reva growled, "then your choice is made."
The machine then begins powering up.
Leia screamed, "help! Somebody help, please!"
"I'm sorry, Leia, I really am. You did this to yourself", Reva said.
Leia screamed, "what are you doing to me? Please! Help! Help! Somebody help!"
That's when Sam and the others arrived in one of the vents.
Obi Wan called Tala, "Tala, Hunter, I need a distraction."
Tala asked, "why? What's happened?"
Obi Wan said, "just do it, now."
….
We then see Hunter and Tala back in the room, as they stand up.
Tala said, "come on. We've gotta work fast!"
Hunter nods his head.
….
Back with Leia….
Leia was still screaming in fear.
Reva was looking at Leia, then a female Imperial officer, Tala, walked into the room.
"I was told it cannot wait", Tala said.
Reva slowly turned towards the officer as the machine stopped. They two entered another room to speak.
Tala said, "I'm sorry to intrude. I…. I understand that you're leading the hunt for the network they call the Path."
"Just speak", Reva growled.
"I was stationed on Mapuzo when the hunt began…. Ranking officer", Tala said.
"Qualifications for discharge", Reva said.
Tala said, "they're on Florrum. The network runs out of the Sertar sector. They use a salvage business to launder goods, render new identities, and fly the Jedi out. I found evidence before the escape."
"Impressive", Reva said.
"We need to direct all resources there immediately, and take the network out at its root", Tala said.
"Unless, of course you're lying", Reva said.
Tala thought, 'oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit.'
….
We then see Leia as she still tries to get herself free.
Then the lights in the room go out, leaving only the red lights.
Leia whimpers in fear.
The Stormtroopers look around.
But then one is attacked by a blue lightsaber!
It turns off after leaving the trooper in half, casting the room into darkness once more.
"There's no way out, stand where you are", the remaining stormtrooper said as he tried to find the attacker.
But then he was attacked by the blue lightsaber!
It sliced him right down the middle!
Leia then saw it was Obi Wan!
Leia said, "you're alive. They told me you were dead. I didn't tell them anything!"
Obi Wan starts to free her as he says, "I know. Come with me. We're gonna get you home."
Leia asked, "we?"
Sam said, "hi Leia."
Leia said, "Sam! You're okay!"
"Thanks to One-One", Sam said.
One-One popped up and said, "hello!"
KeeKee meowed as she stood next to Sam.
Aayla said, "we better get out of here before that Inquisitor returns."
Leia asked, "who are you?"
Sam said, "this is Aayla. Another Jedi. We found her locked up here as well. We'll explain more later. For now, we gotta go!"
The group then began to make their way out….
….
Reva was busy talking to Tala and Hunter.
She said, "it makes sense the Path would have people among us. Eyes. What does not make sense is how an old man, the son of Vader, and a little girl escaped an Imperial checkpoint on your planet. Unless they had help."
Tala said, "I will not have our integrity questioned."
Reva yelled, "then admit your spies!"
Hunter said, "of course we are."
Tala said, "I spent two years undercover trying to find out where they were hidden."
Hunter said, "when Kenobi came, they panicked, and we got inside."
Reva asked, "you expect me to believe this?"
Tala said, "look, we couldn't tell anybody. If they found out, we would've been killed."
Hunter said, "look, we promise you, he's on Florrum."
….
We then see Obi Wan and his group running through the halls but a seeker droid sees them and begins beeping.
….
Back with Tala and Hunter….
"I do like a good liar", Reva said.
Tala and Hunter felt a bit relieved.
"I don't know if you two are lying to me or for me, but we'll see", Reva said, "take them to interrogation. If the debriefing confirms it, then-"
Alarms begin blaring!
"It's him", Reva said as she then walked out of the room.
….
We see Sam's group running down the hall.
"Tala! Hunter! We're in the open", Obi Wan said into the comlink.
But he got no response at first.
"Ben?"
Obi Wan asked, "Tala! What happened?"
….
"Hunter and I had some company but we took care of them", Tala said as she stared at the two bodies of the Stormtroopers.
Hunter asked, "where are you guys?"
….
Obi Wan said, "we found Leia, as well as another Jedi."
Tala asked, "another Jedi? Who?"
Obi Wan said, "Aayla Secura."
Then the seeker droid began to fire at the group.
Obi Wan activated his lightsaber.
He started deflecting the blasts as Aayla said, "makes me wish I still had my saber."
Then two stormtroopers came and started to shoot at the group.
KeeKee growled as she began to shapeshift.
She grew into her beast form.
She roared as she jumped towards the Stormtroopers.
She tore one clean in half!
"That's my cat", Sam said.
KeeKee roared into the air!
The other Stormtrooper was quickly taken down.
"Come on, let's go", Obi Wan said.
The group ran as fast as they could.
As they were running, they came across more stormtroopers.
"Take cover, you two", Obi Wan shouted to the kids.
Leia and Sam jumped behind for cover.
Obi Wan began to deflect the shots with his lightsaber.
But then to the group's dismay, another group of stormtroopers led by a purge trooper, began to fire at them.
Aayla then used the force to push them back.
One of the bolts Obi Wan deflected hits the glass, which begins to slowly crack.
One-One said, "oh no!"
Sam said, "dad!"
Obi Wan quickly shot the door and it closed, preventing the stormtroopers from entering the hall.
Obi Wan then saw the glass was about to break and he quickly used the force.
Aayla quickly helped him with that!
"Ben!"
It was Tala and Hunter!
"Tala! Hunter! Get the Kids out of here", Obi Wan shouted.
At the other end of the hall, the stormtroopers were trying to open the door.
Tala said, "come on, kids!"
Tala and Hunter then began to lead the kids away from the danger.
Obi Wan and Aayla continued to hold the glass and then the Stormtroopers opened the door and ran towards the group.
"NOW", Obi Wan shouted.
Obi Wan and Aayla ran after the others as they let the water flow!
The stormtroopers were caught in the water.
Obi Wan and Aayla made it in time as Tala closed the door.
"This won't hold long", Hunter said.
Tala picked up a few imperial outfits.
"Put these on", Tala said.
Everyone quickly started changing as fast as they could.
We then see the group in their disguises as they make their way to the hangar.
Sam and Leia were disguised in Ugnaught work clothes.
KeeKee was hiding in Obi Wan's shirt.
Aayla, Tala and Obi Wan were in Officer uniforms.
"I want the base shut down now! Third sister will suffer for this", the Fifth brother shouted.
The group turned to see the Fifth Brother and Fourth Sister.
Sam thought, 'oh Bantha turds.'
Sam stayed close to his father.
Obi Wan held him and Leia close.
The group then makes it to the hangar.
Tala whispered, "almost there."
"Traitors!"
The group turned around to see Reva and a bunch of Stormtroopers and purge troopers!
Sam hugged his father.
Reva said, "two children, a Jedi, a cat, a droid and an old man. Was it worth it? Betraying everything you are."
Tala said, "this was never who I was."
Hunter said, "I joined the Empire to help people; not to torture children!"
"Then you two die…. And you will hand over the boy", Reva said.
Sam hugged his father as he was shaking in fear.
Obi Wan said, "I'll never let Vader get his hands on Sam again!"
"Then you will have died for nothing", Reva said.
All the stormtroopers aim their blasters at the group.
Sam hides his face in Obi Wan's shirt.
Obi Wan held Sam and Leia close to him.
KeeKee hissed.
Then a sound was heard and then two T-47 airspeeders came in and began to shoot at the Stormtroopers!
Sully yelled, "come on! Get in!"
The group began to run and they shot any stormtroopers that came in their way.
Sully yelled, "get in! Get in!"
The group gets into the ship!
Reva tried to run towards the ship, but the second T-47 began to shoot at her.
Sully yelled, "Wade!"
Wade said, "I got you, Sully, just go!"
Sully yelled, "Wade, leave her, come on!"
"All right, I'm on my way", Wade yelled as he began to fly away from the Fortress
The Fifth Brother yelled, "destroy them!"
Reva uses the Force to hurl a rectangular explosive at Wade's airspeeder, causing it to explode!
Sully yelled, "Wade!"
The remains of Wade's airspeeder fell into the ocean.
Sully is devastated, but flies away.
The Fifth Brother scowls at Reva before walking away.
Reva stood in place, a fierce glare on her face.
….
We then see Darth Vader.
Anger was radiating off of him.
Vader then threw his hand forward as he force pushed Reva against the table.
He growled, "you were warned what defeat would bring. You let my son escape. I will tolerate your weakness no longer…."
Vader then begins to lift Reva into the air as he force chokes her.
She gasped out, "I let them go!"
Vader then dropped her.
"I put a tracker on their ship", Reva said, "soon, the location of the network and Kenobi will be ours."
Vader said, "it seems I have underestimated you."
"But, my lord, the base was almost destroyed….", the Fifth Brother protested.
Vader growled, "my son and Kenobi are all that matters. There can be no mistakes. You're certain the tracker is with him?"
Reva said, "yes, my lord. Where he goes, it will follow."
"That better be true", a sinister voice said.
Every single Inquisitor in the room froze in fear and slowly turned towards the door.
Standing there was Emperor Malakis' personal Assassin.
Darth Alatu, who wore a dark cloak and a gnarled skull-like mask.
He was once a former Inquisitor, but due to being more skilled and powerful, he won Malakis' favor and became his personal assassin.
"The Emperor sent me to punish you all for your failures", Darth Alatu growled.
The Inquisitors glanced at one another. Their fear of Alatu was the one thing they had in common.
Darth Alatu lifted his hands and shot force lightning at the Inquisitors! They all flew to the wall in pain.
Darth Alatu let out a dark chuckle, he enjoyed torturing the Inquisitors.
Vader stood there, glancing at Alatu.
He never liked Alatu.
He was a sadistic monster.
….
We then see Sully's ship be picked up by a larger ship.
Roken was the pilot.
Roken asked, "where's Wade?"
The group gave mournful looks.
The group then sat down.
Sam hugged his father.
One-One and KeeKee sat in his lap.
"Dad, I missed you so much…. Vader scared me so much…. He said I'd never see you again", Sam whimpered as he hugged his father.
Obi Wan hugged Sam close.
"I promise you son, I won't let Vader get his hands on you ever again…. I'll protect you with my life", Obi Wan said as he held his son close.
Sam smiled tearfully.
"I love you dad", Sam said.
Obi Wan said, "I love you too, son."
Leia sat next to them and smiled at the sight.
Aayla smiled as well.
KeeKee sat on Sam's lap and One-One sat next to Obi Wan.
We then see Leia's droid, Lola underneath the green cloak.
She gave a few small beeps. But then her eye turned red. The tracker was put into her!
Lola then slowly turned around as she glanced at Obi Wan, but her eye was on Sam.
He was the prime target.
It was clear that the danger was far from over….
….
Reviews:
SuperSentai199: I'm glad you liked the chapter and what happened in it.
….
Luckily, Sam and Leia are now out of the Empire's hands.
Bad news is that the Empire put a tracker into Lola….
