Star Wars-Battle at Yavin Part 4

Anyone still with me?? Some of you asked for this…so I blame you entirely!

Anyone just joining, this is a fan fiction that I wrote when I was 12 and George Lucas broke my little girl heart, telling me that I was infringing on copyright… so, I’m posting it now to stick it to the man for “May the 4th Be With You!” *SHHHHH!!! DON’T TELL DISNEY!!* Those brave enough to check it out who may have missed the beginning of the story, feel free to find them here:

PART 1

PART 2 

PART 3

“Bye uncle Luke!” Jacen yelled as Luke headed for his X-Wing, “When will you be back?”  He threw shoulder at his mother. “I may be gone a while.” Then he noticed the nervousness in Jacen and added quickly, “Don’t worry about it.”

Winking at Jacen to show that he knew what Jacen was nervous about, actually he was worrying about the same thing, and climbed into his X-Wing setting down in the cockpit for the, probably lengthy, ride.

“You all set back there Artoo?” Luke asked the R2 unit in the droid socket in the back. Hearing the droid’s affirmative beep he started firing up the X-Wing.

With one last wave to t he crowd of Jedi bunched in a crowd on the landing pad below he turned to the console. Looking at the screen as he got in, Luke noticed an inquiry as to where he was planning to go. It was from R2D2,

“I actually don’t know.” He admitted, “I guess I’ll have to figure that one out.” He shrugged and said, “Just fly around awhile until I figure out that part of the mission.” He smiled when he heard Artoo’s indignant beep, “I don’t know where I want to fly around. This is your choice, after me telling you where to go all these years, there must be somewhere you want to go.” Luke prodded.

Turning to the screen, the only words there were:

\The Nyrror system\

“The Nyrror system? ” Luke asked in surprise Why would Artoo want to go there? Luke asked himself, Oh well, I gave him the choice and that’s what he chose. 

“Okay Artoo. If that’s where you want to go, then that’s where we’ll go.” He said firmly, more to himself than Artoo . He had a bad feeling about this.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

“Okay,” Lei.a said nervously, “So, what do we do now?” Jacen looked at his sister and their friends who gathered around, they all shrugged at her and turned towards each other to converse,

“Well , I guess if you don I t need us…” Jaina conceded, “Can we go on with what we were doing before Luke left?” Leia looked at the group making sure to sense the feelings in each one. She sensed anxiety, towards me, Leia thought . When she had agreed to come here to help she had thought it would be a great idea to take over for Luke for the time he would be gone. She had thought it would bring her closer to the twins, but now she just felt as if she was butting into their live , lives she just didn’t seem to be part of anymore ,

“Okay.” She uttered.

Walking towards the main temple only one thought came to mind. would this turn out okay?

“Mom being here sure is weird. ” Jacen commented as they walked away,

“Yeah we know.” Raynar commented coming up behind them, “It kind of feels as though she’s invading our space.” Jacen looked around at the group and saw that everyone else was shaking their heads in agreement,

“So this is how you all feel?” Jacen asked in astonishment, “I’ll admit it is weird with her here since it is in some ways “our territory” But still, think of how weird she must feel being here .” The Jedi all looked down, ashamed,

“You know what brother? You’re right” Jaina piped up, “Here we are griping about someone very important being here when the Jedi are supposed to be understanding and knowledgeable . I say we should give her the proper welcome.”

They all decided that was the right thing to do and went up to the temple.

“What do you mean trouble?” Han looked around the hanger and noticed that people walking past seemed to be slowing down and gawking so Han lowered his voice, “Lando, What did you do?”

Lando looked down and wondered how he could tell him this because he knew it would be really bad for Han to be around him at this time, but he didn’t want it to ruin their plans together,

“Well… I’m in a little bit of trouble with the Empire.”

“What?!” Han cried in astonishment. This was Lando’s cue to rush into the story before Han could lose his temper,

“Okay, it’s like this. You didn’t know this, but I’ve been doing a little business with the Empire. Just for about 5 months. Well I found out there was a new person taking over the lead spot so I thought, new and inexperienced in the pricing of things, so I kind of tried to cheat him. I was wrong about the inexperienced part and now he’s got some people out after me!” Han just stared at him for a couple of minutes and Lando tried to read his expression so he would be ready for whatever came next , but Han had always been good at masking his feelings so Lando just had to guess until Han finally voiced his thoughts. “Lando, why didn’t you tell me this earlier? But wouldn’t that mean you wouldn’t want to run into any Imperials in your ship?” Han inquired. Lando found that he had no answer to that question so he just said whatever came, so as not to lose the argument,

“Well your ship is more noticeable. I mean everyone knows the Millenium Falcon by sight and reputation…”

“Hang on a second! ” Han cut  in, “Your ship isn’t unknown either! I mean a lot of people know the Lady Luck through everything we’ve been through.” Lando had begun to look uncomfortable with the conversation,

“Okay. The truth is, I’m the one in trouble and I would feel much more comfortable in my own ship.” Han looked as though he were about to protest against this but seemed to change his mind and just smiled sheepishly and said,

“Well , why didn’t you say so ! Let’s go.” He turned and began to walk away, then suddenly turned back , “Where are we headed again?”

Lando sighed, turned and walked slowly to the sleek ship in the corner of the hanger .

Luke had s e t the ship on autopilot and was now leaned back against his seat and closed his eyes still wondering why Artoo would want to go to the Nryrror System. There wasn t much there, well a couple of planets but nothing centre of the galaxies big… or even close to that big for that matter. Luke thought to himself. As this thought came to mind a beep jolted him out of his daydream and he realized that it had come from Artoo.

“What is it? We can’t be there yet… coul we?” After hearing the affirmative beep he glanced over at the chronometer, wondering how long he had been dreaming for and realized with a start that a day had passed and that the Nyrror system filled the view screen which was, after Luke thought about it, nothing as far as the eye could see, and according to Luke’s senses, nothing further than that.

“So, any particular reason you wanted to come here to the middle of nowhere?”

To Luke’s surprise there was no answer,

“Artoo?” Luke asked, beginning to get worried because he realized that Artoo hadn’t said a word since waking Luke up,

“Artoo?” Still no answer. Luke decided to try to twist around and look at the droid socket in the back, but twisting around was not going to happen anytime soon in the tight cockpit of his X-Wing, so he decided to try to land on the first livable planet in the system because he suddenly got the feeling that something was wrong. Dead wrong.
