Starstruck II: Saruman's Curse

Family Reunions Pt 2 (Star Wars AU)

Ezri and Dean, still disguised as Stormtroopers, and Casbacca, who was now in handcuffs, were walking towards the prison where Prince Sam was being held.

"Hey! What're you doing with that Wookie?" another Stormtrooper asked, stopping them in the hall.

"Just taking him down to the prisons, that's all," said Ezri.

"Yup, no ulterior motives at all," said Dean.

The Stormtrooper stared at them for a moment before saying, "Well you're doing a fantastic job! Keep up the good work, friends!"

"Well, thanks!" Dean responded.

The Stormtrooper turned to keep walking, and when they weren't looking, Ezri shot them from behind.

"Why'd you do that?" Dean asked.

"They were too friendly. Come on, we're almost there."

About another minute or two of walking and Dean, Ezri, and Casbacca found themselves in the prison, which, like the port, was strangely void of people.

"This is certainly easier than I thought it would be," Dean remarked.

"Don't speak too soon, let's find Sam."

This was also easier than expected. Ezri typed some things into another thing and boom, the cell door was opened.

"Prince Sam," Dean said, removing his helmet with way more flare than was probably necessary. "We're here to rescue you. We're with Obi Wan Kenobi."

"You mean, he's here? Where is he?" Sam exclaimed, standing up and making his way out of the cell.

"Well, he's not here here, but he's nearby. We need to get back to the ship."

They met up with Casbacca and Ezri, who was also not wearing her helmet. "Are we good to go?" she asked.

"Yeah, but how are we going to get Sam out of here without anyone noticing?" Dean asked.

"Well, everyone seems to be at that meeting or whatever, so that shouldn't be hard."

"Meeting?" Sam asked. "Oh no, they're charging the weapon again, we've got to get out of here, now."

"Weapon? What weapon?"

"The Death Star in itself is a weapon that can destroy entire planets. That's what happened to my home planet, Alderaan. Nearly everyone on board is needed in order to charge the weapon. You see, it's powered by several hundred people all working together and pushing this giant wooden wheel with spokes coming out of it around in a circle. It's quite an ineffective way to charge a weapon."

"That sounds really stupid," Dean remarked.

"It really is, but it's effective. How long ago did they go to this meeting?"

"Maybe half an hour ago?"

"It's almost charged then, we should really get going."

"Why? It's not like we're in any danger being aboard the weapon."

"Yes, true, but it's the perfect cover. And this means they're planning to destroy a planet, and all the debris is not going to be fun to escape in."
