Star Wars: Rebels of the Stars (COMPLETED/BEING EDITED)

Chapter 30: Empire on Krubilax

Gor and Khau stayed on the ship, which was hidden partially by a tarp and the building which it was in.

I left my cloak on the ship and hid my lightsaber in the folds of my clothes. Wen threw on the stormtrooper's armor he still had, Z doing the same. Anoles, Greenie, and I headed the opposite direction of the two of them, heading to the major crowd gathering at the front of the caste.

A familiar figure stood on the balcony above, his broad, stringent voice projecting.

"Mira, do you know who that is?" Anoles whispered to me, tense.

"General Belsebeau. Zart, Gor, and I dealt with him on Jesomoe." I whispered back

"He might recognize your hair. Here." She plopped a plain black hat on my head,tucking my hair under it.

"Krubilax is under the Empire's control! New rules which are being established immediately will be enforced, and if broken, will result in five years in jail!" Belsebeu stood straight.

Anoles winced. "That's a little harsh."
"You're telling me." I nodded and kept listening, as he began to recite the new laws.

"All persons will be registered into the Empire's database. Curfew will begin at ten at night to five in the morning. Any out at time of curfew will be arrested unless escorted by with permission. No ships will enter or leave the planet."
I shut out the droning and looked around.

Stormtroopers outlined the crowd and were still. People in the crowd looked panicked, but kept their silence.

I spotted the rebel symbol on a white haired man's jacket, but he hurried away and left before I could see his face.

Suddenly, I was yanked back by Anoles grabbing my hand, narrowly avoiding being trampled by the crowd that started to depart.

"Sorry." She muttered. We went to the ship and commed Wen and Z. "Did you two hear those booming laws?"

"Loud and clear." Wen answered, "We need to get their majesties free and contact the Rebels for assistance."

"There's already some here," I interrupted, "There's us, and I saw the symbol on someone's jacket in the crowd."
"That's good. We could use some help here. Why don't you two try to find that guy?" Anoles suggested.

"They had white hair. That's all I saw."

"We will do our best. You two stay out of sight and protect the ship. We will be back as soon as we can." Wen answered.

"You both stay safe too." Anoles sighed, "Greenie, shut off the com."

Greenie beeped and did, before going to power down himself.

"Khau! Gor!" I shouted for the two fluffy ones, before finding them in the commons, lying on the couch and cuddled under a blanket while watching Krubilax news.

Khau was bundled in the blanket tightly, indicating that he had tried to leave, but Gor didn't let him. He looked similar to a very angry baby, chattering angrily.

I laughed. "Want a banana?" I handed one over, as he grabbed it and ate it happily.

Gor growled at the screen, seeing Belsebeau.

"I know. First Jesomoe, now here."

"Gor, Khau, hide. Now. Mira, help me clean up anything and everything that says rebel or jedi." Anoles ran in and covered a symbols on the wall.

"What? Why? Are they coming here?"

"Five on a prisoner car. And cover up your hair. Use one of the wigs from my room, then hide the rest."

I nodded and ran, quickling covering stuff as Anoles helped Gor and Khau hide.

I grabbed a blond wig and quickly pinned it to my hair. Anoles switched the computers to recieving Empire data and his our weapons in a secret closet.

There was a knock on the loading bay, making Anoles look at me.

"As far as they're aware, we are mother and daughter by the names of Lia and Meri that are visiting Krubilax to find your father. Last name is Hona." She helped hide the last few strands of my green hair that I had missed under the wig before opening the door. "Excuse me. How may I help you?" She asked them.

"Ma'am we have orders to search every ship and a permit if you wish to object."
"Yes, you may search." Anoles let them in, as Greenie bumped my leg.

"What is it?" I whispered, as he rolled over to show where Gor and Khau were hiding, tufts of Gor's fur poking through the vent. Quickly grabbing a blanket, I threw it over it sloppily so it looked like it wasn't put there intentionally. Taking a few other things, I threw it in the area.

As the troopers scattered and searched the ship, as I quickly and grabbed a data pad, throwing myself onto the couch and pretending to read.

One walked in and I made myself look panicked, and screamed, "Mom! There's someone on our ship!"

Anoles came running in, "Meri, these men have orders to search the ship. And aren't you supposed to be cleaning up?" She saw the mess and improvised.

"Sorry, guess I got distracted." I threw the pad to the side and started picking the trash up.

"Ma'am, what exactly are you and your... daughter, doing on Krubilax?"

"We're getting food and refueling. Our supplies are low."

"Where are you heading?"

"We're looking for my husband. He went missing when Meri was a little child."

"We are going to have to bring both you and your daughter in for questioning." One took out a pair of handcuffs and handcuffed Anoles.

My eyes widened, as I screamed and pretended to be a defenseless young adult and ran into the pilots room. Forcing myself to curl up and shake in the corner, I could hear Anoles explain that I was a very sensitive child and had a bad history.
They allowed her to come to me, who gave soothing words as she slipped me my lightsaber into my belt and putting the handcuffs on.

I got up, following her, the stormtroopers putting us on the prison car.

I waited until we started moving before grabbing my lightsaber and cut the cuffs off. They powered off and fell off the cart, as I reached over and took off Anoles's.

Popping the doors open, we climbed onto the roof, reaching up and grabbing a bar above us as the car sped away without knowing we weren't there.

Anoles laughed lightheartedly, and jumped down. "You were truly a star."
"You are better. That improvisation." I smiled, falling next to her.

"You ok?"

"Better than ever."

"Then let's go kick some butt."
