Cinematic Adventures: Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

Dagobah

Having successful escaped the Empire's attack on Hoth, Luke Skywalker, Storm Shield, and the girls were now in the midst of traveling to the Dagobah system. Luke's tiny X-wing sped toward the cloud cover of Dagobah, closely followed by Storm's Republic starship. R2, riding the back of the fighter, turned his head back-and-forth with some anxiety. Just then, Storm's voice came over Luke's intercom.

"Looks like we're coming in on the planet pretty hot Luke," He said. "If you don't want to crash and explode, I'd slow down."

"Will do Storm," Luke responded.

Luke pulled back on the controls, slowing his fighter down to a cruising speed as R2 started beeping. Luke watched R2's words as they are translated and screened on the computer scope.

"Yes, that's it," Luke confirmed, via commlink. "Dagobah."

R2 beeped a hopeful inquiry.

"No, I'm not going to change my mind about this. I'm not picking up any cities or technology."

"There's something alive down there," Storm spoke, through intercom. "Scanners are detecting massive life-form readings."

R2 beeped in response, this time with a slightly worried question.

"Yes, I'm sure it's perfectly safe for droids," Luke reassured.

"Nevertheless, never a bad idea to take precautions," Storm warned. "I'd watch your six, take it slow and keep her steady. I'll wake up the girls."

"Roger that."

Storm Shield once more set the ship to autopilot. Once the systems were set, he casually worked his way from his pilot seat and drew his way through the ship. It did not take long for Storm to reach the compartment where the girls were still asleep. Most of the girls had their own place to sleep, with Spike nestled atop of Twilight. Applejack and Rainbow Dash, on the other hand, were comfortably snugged together in one bed.

"Wakey-wakey girls!" Storm called out, rapping the walls. "We're landing."

The girls stirred themselves awake upon hearing Storm's voice. The girls picked themselves up from their bunks, stretching out their limbs (Some of whom actually cracking). Rarity removed an eye mask from her eyes as a cute yawn escaped, while Twilight carefully lifted and dropped Spike upon the floor as he shook himself awake. Rainbow Dash rolled herself out of the bed, while Applejack lifted herself up and reached around for her Stetson hat.

"Ahem!"

Applejack tiredly opened her eyes to find Rainbow Dash holding the hat toward her. The rainbow haired teen's eyebrows motioned up and down with a cheeky grin. Applejack just smiled back and swiftly took her hat back. Pinkie Pie was the last to wake up as she eyed around the ship.

"Is it breakfast time already?" Pinkie asked.

"I don't think so," Fluttershy sighed.

"C'mon girls," Twilight beckoned. "We'd better be ready when we land."

The X-wing and the Republic Starship continued their flight through the twilight just above the cloud-covered planet. Luke saw the cloud race by as he took his craft closer to the planet. He knew he needed to operate his controls carefully since the cloud cover completely obscured his vision. The same had to be said on Storm's part, as he once more assumed the controls of his ship while the remainder of the group looked on.

"You sure pick the most dreary places to meet with old acquaintances," Rarity observed.

"Wasn't my idea," Storm shrugged. "But given this planet's among the last places to find a master Jedi, it's no wonder he'd want to make a home here."
