The Daughter of Kenobi (A Star Wars Fanfic)

Part XX: The Falcon

{3rd Person} {Mos Eisley, Street}

The three were now outside of the cantina, catching their breath. Jaydin's hood had fallen off, revealing her mop of blonde locks. The trio were looking at each other, all on high alert.

"You'll have to sell your speeder." Obi-Wan said to Luke.

"That's okay. I'm never coming back to this planet again." The farmboy said.

{Cantina}

Han and Chewbacca were about to leave, to go to the Millennium Falcon. Suddenly a blaster is pointed to Han's side.

"Going somewhere, Solo?" A slimy green alien said in his own language.

"Yes Greedo. As a matter of fact, I was just going to see your boss. Tell Jabba that I've got his money." Han said, sitting back down at the booth he had been at before. The alien, Greedo, sat across from him, the blaster was still pointed on him.

"It's too late. You should have paid him when you had the chance. Jabba's put a price on your head, so large that every bounty hunter in the galaxy will be looking for you. I'm lucky I found you first." Greedo said, still in his own language.

"Yes, but this time I got the money." Han said.

"If you give it to me, I might forget I found you."

"I don't have it with me. Tell Jabba...." Han said, getting cut off mid-sentence.

"Jabba's through with you. He has no time for smugglers who drop their shipments at the first sign of an Imperial cruiser."

"Even I get boarded sometimes. Do you think I had a choice?" Han questioned, slowly reaching for his blaster under the table.

"You can tell that to Jabba. He may only take your ship."

"Over my dead body." Han disagreed.

"That's the idea. I've been looking forward to killing you for a long time." Greedo said.

"Yes, I bet you have." Han said before a blaster of blinding white light appears, Greedo disappearing with it. Han pulled his smoking blaster out from under the table, Chewie looks at him in bemused amazement. The pilot flipped a few credits at the bartender as he and Chewie walked out of the cantina.

"Sorry about the mess."

{Death Star, Control Room}

"Her resistance to the mind probe is considerable. It will be some time before we can extract any information from her." Vader said.

"The final check-out is complete. All systems are operational. What course shall we set?" An Imperial officer interrupted.

"Perhaps she would respond to an alternative form of persuasion." Tarkin suggested.

"What do you mean?" Darth Vader questioned.

"I think it is time we demonstrate the full power of this station." Tarkin explained to the Sith Lord.

"Set your course for Princess Leia's home planet of Alderaan." Tarkin continued, speaking to the officer.

"With pleasure." The officer replied.

{Mos Eisley, Alleyway}

Luke, Jaydin, and Obi-Wan stood in a used speeder lot. Luke was talking to a used speeder dealer. It was tall, insect-like and grotesque. Jaydin rubbed her upper arm, glancing around as exotic aliens of all different species passed by. The dealer gave Luke a few credits, therefore concluding the sale.

"He says it's the best he can do. Since the XP-38 came out, they're just not in demand." Luke said. Jaydin nodded, remembering how excited lots of farmers seemed to be about the XP-38 speeder.

"It will be enough." Her father.

The group began to leave the speeder lot. They walk down the sandy alleyway, Luke turning around and giving his faithful speeder a final forlorn look. He turned back around as Jaydin grabbed his hand, trying to give him a form of comfort somehow.

"If the ship's as fast as he's boasting, we ought to do well." Obi-Wan said. Unbeknownst to the group, a dark clad creature steps out of the shadows, watching them pass and disappear down another alley.

{Docking Bay Entrance}

Jaydin, Luke, Obi-Wan and the two droids walked up the street. Chewbacca stood at the entrance, watching and waiting for them. The large creature made some noises, sounding excited, as he signals for them to hurry.

Unbeknownst to the large group, a dark creature was following them. It had been since the speeder lot. The creature stops in a doorway nearby, speaking into a transmitter.

{Docking Bay 94}

Chewbacca lead the group to where the Millennium Falcon stood. Jaydin looked at the large ship, shrugging. As long as it got them to their destination, she didn't really care. However, apparently Luke did.

"What a piece of junk!" Luke exclaimed.

"Luke! Be nice! Their letting us on their ship!!" Jaydin snapped at him, smacking him on the back of his head. The farmboy just looked at her sheepishly.

"I'm sorry about that Chewbacca." Jaydin apologized for Luke's behavior. The Wookie just roared, accepting the apology.
