The Imperial Cruiser was spotted by the Luke and his companions before the ship even landed, however danger was still very much present. The training Jedi were still mildly unskilled with the force, leaving them vulnerable against The Brotherhood and any other enemies trained in the dark side.
Han quickly ran to the small band of rebel pilots stationed on the bottom level of the fortress. Han met them on Endor, at the time when the Empire was defeated and the galaxy was shortly restored. They haven't left Han's side since. Leading the rebel pilots was a man named Jud Stantson, a former smuggler like his friend Han.
Han arrived through the elevator doors, Jud knelt alongside his X-wing looking at some fire damage it took from a previous battle.
"Jud my friend, we seem to may have a spot of trouble." Han said breathing heavily. His cheeks flushed from perspiration.
"Han, I haven't seen you this worked up in a long time. What's going on?" Stantson quickly switched from puzzled to startling concerned within seconds.
Han ran his hand through his hair and sighed. "We think there might be an Imperial Cruiser on the security monitor. By now they have probably already landed. We've been found."
Luke walked with a fast pace to the padawans gathered in the temple. As he entered, the young Jedi formed a circle meditating in the dead silence.
"We need to take shelter immediately!" Luke ran towards the boys with his robe flowing behind.
"What's wrong Master?" The padawans said in unison.
Ben Solo looked at his uncle with panicked eyes, he had never seen real battle. Luke closed in on Ben, putting his face close to his. "We must hurry to the bottom level of the fortress. We may be getting attacked." Luke said breaking eye contact.
As they made their way outside Luke noticed the bright moon above, it glowed the night in striking brightness.
As the Cruiser landed the entrance door folded down instantly, spilling out a number of storm troopers and generals. Ty Lazer stood in the doorway of his room and thought of his dream. He did not realize his hand was gripped on the light sabre at his side. He could feel the presence of Skywalker and the force around him. He was strong yes, but he would not survive if he did not cooperate.
Ty stepped onto the platform and walked down the entrance ramp and into the night.
The young Jedi stayed huddled on the bottom level of the fortress and the rebel pilots began getting their X-wings ready for battle around them. Han was giving a hand in fixing Jud's fuel injector on the left side of his X-wing.
"We need all these up and running as fast as humanly possible. Once we give them a fight they will more than likely send for more men. The Brotherhood has gotten larger than we could of imagined." Han said this with dead certainty. He knew all too well about the Brotherhood of Wren.
Shortly after the death of Darth Vader and The Empire, Han decided to try his hand on one more job with smuggling light speed transmitters. It was a simple enough job and the extra cash in his pocket was always a bonus. Big pay out, low risks, just the kind of job Han was looking for.
Although things did not work out that way.....
