Chapter 6: The Death Star
The Falcon dropped out of Hyperspace and was immediately hit by asteroids. The ship shook with the force of the impacts. Ezra, Luke and Obi-Wan rushed to the Cockpit.
"What's going on?" Asked Luke, coming up beside Han and Chewie.
"Our position's correct, except no Alderaan." Said Han, looking at the controls.
"What do you mean, where is it?" Asked Luke, confused.
"What I'm trying to tell you kid, it ain't there." Said Han, "Totally blown away."
"What how?" Asked Luke, looking at Obi-Wan and Ezra.
"Destroyed." Said Ezra, looking at the rocks, "By the Empire."
"An entire fleet couldn't destroy a planet," Said Han, "It'd take a thousand ships and more fire power than I-" The Falcon let out a rapid beeping sound.
"There's another ship coming in." Said Han, looking at the controls.
"Maybe they know what happened." Said Luke, looking at them.
"It's an Imperial fighter." Said Obi-Wan, looking distant.
Han leaned back and hit two levers above him, causing two loud banging sounds.
"They followed us!" Exclaimed Luke, looking at the TIE.
"No, it's short range, it doesn't have hyper drives or shields." Said Ezra, looking at the TIE.
"There aren't any bases around here, where did it come from." Said Han, looking at the controls and then at the TIE.
The Flacon followed the fighter.
"It sure is leaving in a big hurry." Said Luke, "If they identify us, we'll be in big trouble."
"Not if I can help it," Said Han, "Chewie, jam its transmissions."
"It'd be just as well to let it go, it's too far out of range." Said Obi-Wan, looking at Han.
"Not for long." Said Han, speeding up.
"A fighter that size couldn't have gotten this deep into space on its own," Said Ezra, "Search for any Docking ships."
"It must've gotten lost, been part of a convoy or something." Said Luke.
"Well he ain't gonna be around long enough to tell anybody about us." Said Han.
"I think he's heading for that small moon." Said Luke, pointing at a gray dot.
"I think I can get to them before they get there, I'm almost in range." Said Han, as Obi-Wan and Ezra stiffened.
"That's not a moon." Said Ezra, his eyes widening.
"That's a space station." Said Obi-Wan, eyes widening.
"It's too big to be a space station." Said Han, as they drew closer.
"I have a very bad feeling about this." Said Luke, looking at the station.
"Turn the ship around." Said Obi-Wan, while Han agreed.
"Yeah, I think you're right." Said Han, "Full reverse, Chewie, lock in the auxiliary power."
The ship started shaking.
"Chewie, lock in the auxiliary power." Said Han, looking at Chewbacca.
"Why are we still moving towards it?" Said Luke, looking at Han.
