“Hand over the child, Mando”
From that sentence, he went into overdrive. The ship jostled around as Mando directed the ship left and right, avoiding the blaster bolts. Unfortunately one managed to land on one of the engines. Mando cursed under his breath as the comms came to life again.
“I might let you live.”
Before we could act, one of the engines is hit again and bursts into flames.
“Hold on!” Mando says as he begins to roll the ship, dodging blaster bolts as he does. “Come on!”
“I can bring you in warm or I can bring you in cold.” Oh, snap. This guy is going to regret using that line. Mando pulls back on the throttle, slowing us down enough so that the bounty hunter flies right over us. When he’s directly in front of us, Mando pulls the trigger. I watch as the ship bursts into flames on contact.
“That’s my line.”
I have to say it was an impressive light show but we don’t need anyone else trying to blast us out of the sky.
“We’re losing fuel. We’re going to have to land.”
I watched out the front window as a planet came into view. It was musty yellow in colour, probably a desert planet.
As the ship begins to move towards the planet, it suddenly loses power. I hear the child squeal to the right of me. I look over and see his happy little face giggling in the darkness. Mando flicks a few switches on the centre console before getting up to flick another switch behind me. As soon as he does, power is immediately restored. Lights begin to flicker on and the engines begin their low rumble once again. Mando sits back down and the comms emit another voice.
“This is Mos Eisley tower. We are tracking you. Head for bay 3-5. Over.”
“Copy that. Locked in for 3-5.”
He begins the descent towards the surface. As we get nearer, the sand dunes of the planet become clearer and clearer, along with a town that is ahead of us. Mos Eisley soon is directly underneath us and Mando is lowering the ship into the bay. Once we’re down he gets up and grabs the child from his seat.
“Welcome to Tatooine.” He says as he walks past me. I get up as well and follow him down towards the cargo hold. Just as I get down, the door to the secure compartment shuts. Before it does I catch a glimpse of the child inside.
“Do you really think it’s a good idea to leave him in there alone?” I question.
“He’ll be fine. The only way to open the door is by this button on my vambrace. No one can get him.” He answers confidently.
I watch him walk off the ship and into the main hangar. The only reaction I can muster up is a shake of my head. However, rattling shakes me from my trance. One of the boxes near the carbonite freezer begins shaking and moving around. I ready my blaster and edge towards it slowly. Once I’m close enough, I lift the lid and move backwards again quickly. To my relief, A2 floats out of the box and does a lap around the space. He soon stops in front of me, once the shock wears off.
“Sorry, A2 you must have got trapped in there while we were escaping that bounty hunter.”
He bleeps in agreement before flying into my shoulder almost like he’s hugging me.
“You’re welcome, buddy.”
The reunion is cut short when a blaster shot echoes through from the hangar. I launch into action again, drawing my blaster and running outside.
The hangar is pretty much what you’d expect lots of equipment and droids. They doing the opposite of what they were supposed to though, running away instead of coming towards the ship. I dash up behind Mando and with my weapon drawn.
