Night Sky of Endor

That was it. The Death Star, destroyed. As the Rapier flew away from the debris from the battle station, a squadron of rebel fighters noticed the fleeing shuttle.

"This is Blue Four, I have visual on the shuttle. Permission to engage?" "Permission granted, Blue Four." the rebel pilot. "Copy that, Blue Leader." as the X-wing shot down the shuttle. "Taken fire, going down! Hold on, people!" an Imperial pilot yelled to the Stormtroopers. "You heard the man!" a Stormtrooper yelled "Copy, Sergeant-Major." "On approach to the planet. Brace for impact!" the co-pilot yelled.

As the Lambda shuttle was up in flames, crashing to the surface, 2 rebel soldiers noticed the shuttle. "Inform the Lieutenant. Get a search party out for that shuttle." a rebel soldier said. "Roger, calling the Lieutenant now."

30 Minutes After The Crash

"Status?!" TK-4529 yelled "O'Kella's down!" one of the Stormtroopers yelled "We lost our pilots, too." another one of the Stormtroopers said "Sarge, we better get movin'." another one of the Stormtroopers said "Agreed." TK-4529 said "We should find cover in the trees." a Stormtrooper said "Lets move, then." TK-4529 said.

"Lets move, move. You noted that shuttle as a target, and we're going for it." a rebel soldier said "Lieutenant, you didn't say we'd be walking." a rebel soldier said "Stop whining, you said you would do anything but patrolling for Imperials." the Lieutenant said "I guess you got me there." the rebel soldier said

"Alright, TK-3314, mind making the camp?" TK-4529 asked "Alright, fine, Sarge." TK-3314 answered. "So, whats the plan, Sarge?" TK-3945 asked. "Well, units on the ground that scouted, BEFORE, this battle, said that theres some kind of spiders in those caves. So , we're staying out of 'em." the Sergeant-Major said. "Understood, 4529. Understood..."

6 Hours After The Crash

"How much do we have for supplies?" TK-3945 asked. "Too low - we have food and water for about 2 days." TK-3314 said. "Well, we can hunt. Can't we?" TK-3945 asked TK-4529. "Too much noise - and Im guessing there's some rebel's on our trail." TK-4529 said from the log he was sitting on next to the fire. "Good point. In fact, we should probably only use guns when we have to." TK-3314 said. "You two checked for survivors on the Rapier. We're any other troopers alive?" TK-4529 asked "No. But TK-3329's seat was empty. Maybe he woke up before us and left."

"Ya, maybe. But why would he leave us?" TK-4529 asked "The guy's more loyal to the Empire than I am. And I was awarded for loalty with my current rank." TK-4529 said. "Show off...." TK-3314 says "Shut your mouth." TK-4529, right as he took his helmet off when he heard something. "Shhhhh, I heard something. Maybe rebels. Lets get out of here. Shut the fire, leave the gear so it seems like we got killed by something already. Lets go." as TK-4529 said, the Stormtroopers took off their armor and quietly ran from the site as Rebels we're getting closer.

"We walked 6 hours, and NOTHING?" one of the Rebel soldiers said "Well, Stormtrooper gear. Maybe some of those spiders from the caves decided to have a meal and they were sleeping. Well, regardless. I'm calling in a ship. Spread out. Scout the area for anything else." the Rebel Lieutenant said.

"This is Valkyrie One, on approach to sector 32." a Rebel pilot said "Copy, Valkyrie One." a Rebel soldier says over comms.

"So, TK-4529, I heard those Rebels speaking about a transport they were getting to send them out of here. Which is why I took my grappling hook. You got yours?" TK-3314 asked "Yep. Got mine. What do you think we're doing with these, first of all?" TK-4529 asked. "When that transport arrives, we're sneaking into the cargo bay. From there, we take the ship and escape this jungle." TK-3314 said. "Risky plan. There's still 2 squads of Rebels getting out on that transport. How are we going to kick them off without them alerting the rebel fleet of our hijacking of the ship, exactly?" TK-4529 asked. "Well, we can kill those Rebels on the transport with, maybe a shock grenade which stuns them and then we shoot them." TK-3314 said just as he pulled out his E-45G. "When you set you're mind to something, you're kind of scary." TK-4529 said. "Lets go, Sarge. We've got a plane to catch." TK-3314 said just as he quietly ran near the landing zone of the transport. 4529 did the same.

"This is Valkyrie One, landing on site." "Copy, Valkyrie One. We'll be there." the Rebel Lieutenant said over comms to the GR-75. "ALRIGHT, TRANSPORTS HERE, LEATHERNECKS! WE'RE MOVIN!" the Rebel Lieutenant yelled in to the forest. "Geez, that guy has a temper. Well, lets get movin'. We've got a plane to catch, don't we, 4529?" TK-3314 said "Well, lets go, then." as they ran to the transport.

"Alright, why did it take SO long to run to the LZ?" the Rebel Lieutenant asked his soldiers. "Cut us a break, Delkor." one of the Rebel soldiers said. "Alright. Lets get onboard." the Rebel Lieutenant said.

"Pilot. How long till dust-off?" one of the Rebel soldiers asked. "Few more minutes. We're warming up the thrusters." the pilot said. "Two minutes for dust-off, leathernecks. Hang on to something." the co-pilot said. "Alright. Lets get movin, Corel." the pilot said, right as the shock grenade was thrown. With Rebel soldiers stunned on the ground, the 2 Stormtroopers shot all of the Rebels, with both moving for the cockpit as the Rebel soldiers we're reaching for the comms. "This is Valkyrie One, we've been.." Right as both pilots were shot.

"This is Valkyrie One, false alarm. We heard blaster fire outside of the ship. We're leaving now." TK-3314 said in comms, imitating one of the pilots. "Copy Valkyrie One, permission granted for dust-off." a Rebel communications officer said over comms. "Home One, Lieutenant Delkor asked for us to move to the Coruscant system." TK-4529 said over comms. "Copy, pilot. Permission granted. Good trip, Valkyrie One."

"And we're off. As soon as we're out of system, contact the Imperials and give them our clearance code. Either they board us or they identify our codes." TK-4529 said to 3314. "Copy, warming up the drive. Setting co-ordinates for Coruscant. Just one thing, they really took the bait. They think we're really the Rebels onboard." TK-3314 said. "The Rebels are dumm. Just let this thing go. We're headed for Imperial forces anyways." TK-4529 said. "Ya, well. Co-ordinates are plugged in." TK-3314 said. "Jumping on 10..." right as 3314 was disrupted by a communication from the Mon Calamari cruiser Home One came in. "Valkyrie One, we're assigning a squadron of X-wings to protect you." a communications officer said over comms. "Home One, no need for an escort. The Imperials haven't recognized our ship as Rebel. So, sending X-wings for an escort, is a jeopardizing idea to the crew and passengers of this ship , as the Imperials would automatically engage both this ship and the X-wings." TK-3314 said over comms. "So, we're going without the escort." TK-3314 said over comms. "Valkyrie One, may I speak to the Lieutenant over comms?" a communications officer asked over comms. "Uhh, the Lieutenant isn't available." TK-3314 said over comms. "Valkyrie One, you have 3 minutes to get the Lieutenant on the comms or we're engaging. We're suspecting you of an Imperial hijack."

"Home One, this is Lieutenant Delkor. What was the hassle?" TK-3314 said over comms with a voice filter. "Lieutenant, good to see youre alright. Permission granted for jump to hyperspace, Valkyrie One. Good trip, Lieutenant." a comms officer said over communications, as the GR-75 jumped into hyperspace.
