Your world was surrounded by darkness. Not a speck of even the smallest starlight could be spotted through the total darkness that has now taken over your vision. Your ears were deaf to the environment around you due to the ringing in your ears. What happened? Where are you?

The darkness around you vanished once you found the strength to finally open your eyes; the blinding light of the sun was the first thing to greet your tender eyes. You weakly lifted your hand up to shield your face from the blazing ball of light above you.
It didn't take you long to realize that you were no longer on your ship, but how did you end up here?

You moved your head to the side to see that you're surrounded by a pile of wreckage. Not only that, but you seemed to be partially buried in it as well. You shifted around underneath the metal piece that the lower part of your body is trapped under, attempting to seek a bit of relief from the growing pressure on your leg. You hissed as your movements made the pain worse.

Looks like you're gonna be stuck here.

As you lied there contemplating about how you ended up in this mess, you could feel the sun beginning to leave it's mark on your face. Your armor made the heat much more unbearable, but each movement you made in attempt to put yourself in a more comfortable position, the metal resting on your lower half somehow got heavier. You were forced to bake underneath the sun. Who knows how long a single day lasts on this planet.

But your trapped leg and the heat wasn't your only problem...

The roaring sound of a familiar looking spacecraft flying over head suddenly stole your attention away from the heat. Instantly all your memories came rolling back in. You could feel your heart reaching up your throat as you remembered what had happened. Panicking, your gloves hands clawed at the dirt as you desperately tried to free yourself. With your teeth tightly clenched and your body buzzing with agony, you pulled and clawed at the ground, but you didn't budge.

You could hear the ship landing someone not far. The clock was ticking and you were determined to get the metal piece off of you, even though the odds are starting to look slim. Again, you tried to lift the piece off of you with your hands. A painful cry escaped past your clenched teeth as you tried to lift with all your might. The piece moved, but barely. Your arms were growing weak and you had to release it, but somehow what little pressure you managed to take off your tender leg caused you to throw your head back in agony once it settled back on. You were unable to keep your cry silent, and because of that you seemed to have attracted the attention of someone lurking in the bushes.

You quickly aimed your blaster at the noisy bush. "Stay back!" you shouted. You tried to sound brave, but the trembling in your voice made that hard to pull off.

A dirty stormtrooper, covered in green scratches and marks from the thick forest around him, cautiously emerged from the bushes. You steadied your aim to fire, but the stormtrooper raised his hands in surrender.

"Wait! Wait!" he pleaded. "I'm a friend!"

"How dumb do you think I am?" you said, your finger beginning to ease down on the trigger.

"We're on the same team!" he continued to ease forward, his hands still raised. "Let me help you before they get to you."

You were confused as to why he still hasn't shot you with his blaster yet. Surely this must be a trick to capture you. "I said stay back!" you warned and he froze.
