"We will win," says Starkiller in a whisper.
Starkiller looks out his quarters' window to see starfighters doing practice runs. He looks for a moment but then looks at his lightsaber clenched in his right hand.
Starkiller walks to his closet, he takes out his combat gear. He walks over to the bathroom and changes.
A few minutes later, Starkiller's quarters doors open. It is Sonia. She looks around for a moment.
"Galen," asks Sonia. "Where are you?"
The bathroom doors open. Starkiller walks out with his combat gear on. He walks over to Sonia.
"Galen," says Sonia. "The ships, they are so, so big!"
"I know," says Starkiller smiling. "There amazing aren't they?"
"They are," says Sonia. "Galen, this entire mission, it's the fate of the future. Is it not?"
"Yes," says Starkiller. "The future is uncertain right now, but soon we will be able to tell the fate of our lives."
"What if our lives will be lost, the entire fleet?"
"Sonia," says Starkiller. "We must believe in ourselves. If we do we will win this war, if we don't, It's Over.''
"I'm just scared.''
Starkiller walks toward Sonia. He grabs her hand.
"Don't be," says Starkiller. "You are with me, you will be safe. Nothing will ever happen to you. I promise.''
Sonia smiles and looks at Starkiller. Starkiller lets go of Sonia's hand. Starkiller walks towards the door.
"Stay here.''
Sonia nods. Starkiller walks out of his quarters. Starkiller makes his way to the control room.
The slide doors open to the control room. Starkiller walks to one of the commanders.
"What is the status?"
"Skywalker has just landed on Endor," says a commander. "They made it pass the Imperial Fleet with no harm.''
"That's good," says Starkiller. "What is Calrissian's team status?"
"They are preparing to leave in a hour."
Starkiller nods and shakes the commander's hand.
"Thank you commander," says Starkiller.
Starkiller walks out of the control room. He needs to get ready for his mission in a couple of hours. It will soon be time for the "Final Battle.''

Chapter 6
It is midnight.
Sonia sleeps in Starkiller's bed. Starkiller sits to a chair next to the bed. He watches her sleep.
R2-V9 enters Starkiller's quarters. He holds a tray of two cinnamon rolls and a glass of milk on it. He enters with a loud beep.
''Shh !" whispers Starkiller. "Thanks R2."
Starkiller grabs the tray. He starts eating.
"R2." says Starkiller. "I'm too worried."
R2-V9 gives a questioning beep.
"The mission." says Starkiller. "What if we fail ?"
R2-V9 gives a cheerful beep. Starkiller smiles.
"Thanks R2." says Starkiller. "During the battle you stay here with Sonia."
R2-V9 gives a questioning beep.
"You are the only one she know on this ship. She will need somebody when the battle takes place." says Starkiller.
R2-V9 gives a beep of agreement.
A few minutes later Starkiller finishes off his glass of milk. He gets up puts the tray on the chair.
"Stay here." says Starkiller.
R2-V9 beeps. Starkiller walks out of his quarters. He needs a little walk. He takes a elevator to go to the top floor of Home One.
Starkiller walks trying to feel the force and his master Rahm Kota. He closes his eyes while walking. The force guides him.
"Kota, please." says Starkiller. "I need you."
He walks pass the medical room.
"Are you sure ?" says a familiar voice.
Starkiller stops and opens his eyes he hides at a wall in front of the medical room. He sees Juno sitting on a bed and a medical droid in front of her.
"It is growing at a fast pace. It usually takes longer to develop." says a medical droid.
"Okay.'' says Juno. "Thank you. Should I participate in the mission ?"
No. It is to risky.'' says the medical droid.
Juno nods and leaves the room. She walks into the hallway. There is nobody in the hallway.
Starkiller is down the hall hiding behind the wall. He wonders what Juno was talking with medical droid about. He sees Juno turn the other way of the hall. He continues his walk.
He sees a window which views the main docking bay. He looks out the window. He sees crew getting the X-Wing fighters ready. He sees pilots practicing flight simulators.
"Good luck.'' whispers Starkiller. He walks to the nearest elevator. He returns back to his quarters. R2-V9 has shut down. Sonia is still sleeping. The tray is gone. R2-V9 must of return the tray.
Starkiller returns to the chair and closes his eyes. He falls asleep.
Starkiller has another nightmare. It is the same nightmare earlier. He still sleeps. He sees a huge explosion from a distance in the air. Is it the fleet ? Is it the Death Star ? He sees little creatures celebrating on Endor. What are they ? He again sees Juno and Sonia both crying. Why are they crying. He then sees Luke and the Emperor. Where is Vader ? Am I fighting Vader ? He then sees the blue blade and red blade again in the forest. The person with the red blade falls off the cliff. Who is that ?
"Galen." says a voice.
Starkiller jumps up from his chair. Sonia also jumps looking worried. He notices that it is morning.
"I'm sorry.'' says Starkiller.
"It's okay." says Sonia.
"What's wrong ?"asks Starkiller.
"I see fighters flying out of the ships." says Sonia she points at the window.
"The mission starts in a few hours." says Starkiller. "They are getting ready."
"Galen, I'm scared." says Sonia. "What if the Empire wins ?"
Starkiller remember him saying that to Juno. He bends down to look at Sonia.
"Listen." says Starkiller. "Have hope. If we have faith and hope in ourselves we will win. If we don't we will fail."
Sonia smiles and nods. Starkiller gets up.
"Galen, I have been wearing this same shirt for three days already." says Sonia.
Starkiller laughs.
"Take a shower." says Starkiller. "And put on these."
Starkiller grabs clothes from his closet and hands them to Sonia.
"These are too big." says Sonia.
"They will fit don't worry." says Starkiller smiling. "The tub is in that door over there."
Starkiller points behind him. Sonia smiles and walks to the door.
Starkiller leaves his quarters. R2-V9 is still shut down.
He sees pilots walking to the docking bays. Starkiller is to worried to eat. He hasn't talk to Juno for a day. Starkiller walks to the main docking bay.
He enters the main docking bay. He sees Juno talking to Leia and Han talking to Lando. There are many ships in the main docking bay.
"Worried ?" says a voice behind Starkiller.
Starkiller turns around to see who it is. It's Luke. Starkiller smiles.
"A lot !" says Starkiller.
Luke smiles.
"At least you are not leaving for Endor in a few hours." says Luke.
Starkiller still smiles.
"Luke. I hope this plan works." says Starkiller.
"It will work, don't worry." says Luke.
Starkiller nods.
"Well, I need to get ready." says Luke walking to the shuttle.
"Luke, may the force be with you.'' says Starkiller.
Luke smiles.
"May the force be with you to." says Luke.
Starkiller turns to look at Juno. She is still talking to Leia. He wonders if she is telling Leia about why she was in the medical room. He looks for a minute but then leaves the main docking bay.
Two hours pass. It is time for the scouting team to leave. The first part of there mission.
Starkiller talks to Sonia in his quarters.
"Do you want to see the shuttle ?" asks Starkiller.
"Yeah !" says Sonia.
Starkiller smiles.
"Let's go !'' says Starkiller. He grabs on to Sonia's hand. They walk to the main docking bay.
"Wow !'' says Sonia. "The shuttle is huge !"
"Yep." says Starkiller.
Starkiller notices Leia walking towards him.
"Princess." says Starkiller.
"Starkiller." says Leia.
Leia turns to look at Sonia. Leia smiles.
"Hi." says Leia.
Sonia still holds Starkiller's hand.
"Hi." mumbles Sonia.
Starkiller and Leia smile.
"What's you name ?" asks Leia.
"Sonia."
"Hi Sonia.'' says Leia. "I'm Leia."
"Are you going on that shuttle ?" asks Sonia pointing at the shuttle.

"Starkiller." says Leia. "You know the plan ?''

"Good luck your highness." says Starkiller.
Leia turns back to Starkiller. She smiles and nods. She then turns back and walks to the shuttle.

"Are you okay ?" says Starkiller smiling.
Sonia nods. Starkiller turns and sees Juno walking towards him. He turns to Sonia.
"Come on lets go." says Starkiller.
The two walk out of the main docking bay. Juno stops and looks to the ground. She is heartbroken.
Starkiller misses Juno. But he does not want to speak to her ever again.
"When do you leave for the mission ?" asks Sonia.
"Tomorrow.'' says Starkiller.
The two walk back to the elevator and go back to Starkiller's quarters.
Sonia sleeps in Starkiller's bed. Starkiller sits to a chair next to the bed. He watches her sleep.

"This is ship is so nice !" says Sonia turning to a hallway looking around. She walks with C-3PO, R2-D2, & R2-V9.
"Indeed." says C-3PO "This ship can hold 1,200 passengers."
"Wow !" says Sonia "Amazing !"

"Hello master Starkiller." says C-3PO walking towards Starkiller.
"Hi 3PO." says Starkiller. "Where did you find these two Sonia."

"I was walking around the ship and I found them with R2-V9. And 3PO offered me a tour. He is real nice." says Sonia.
"He is nice." says Starkiller. "But you can't get him to shut up." says Starkiller smiling.
Sonia laughs. C-3PO looks shocked. R2-D2 & R2-V9 give laughing beeps.

Starkiller turns to Sonia.
"Did you have lunch yet ?'' asks Starkiller.
"No." says Sonia. "We were going to right now."
"Well." says Starkiller. "You are going the wrong way."
Starkiller turns to C-3PO.
"3PO. You don't know your way around ?" teases Starkiller.
Sonia and the two astromech droids laugh.
"W-Well master Starkiller we were taking a shortcut." says C-3PO.
"Sure you were." says Starkiller as he walks past C-3PO patting him on the shoulder.
"I'll show you the way to the cafeteria." says Starkiller.
Sonia smiles and nods. The three droids follow Sonia and Starkiller.
In a matter of minutes they arrive at the cafeteria.
"You can go sit down." says Starkiller. "I will order for you. What do you want ?''
"A bantha burger !" says Sonia.
"You know what a bantha burger is ?!?'' asks Starkiller.
"Yeah !" says Sonia. "It's my favorite lunch !"
Starkiller smiles.
"Okay.'' He walks towards the server droid. Sonia and the three droids walk towards one of the tables.
"Two bantha burgers and two bottles of juice please." says Starkiller.

"Here you." says Starkiller handing Sonia her bantha burger. "One bantha burger !"
"Thanks !" says Sonia.
The three droids walk towards a large window to look at the fleet.
"So where is this fleet headed ?" asks Sonia before she eats her burger.
"To the forest moon of Endor." says Starkiller.
"I never heard of it." says Sonia.
"Many people don't. It's one of those ghost planets." says Starkiller.
"Is that where the Empire is ?" asks Sonia.
Starkiller nods and finally bites his burger. Sonia drinks her juice.
"We will be there in two days. A scout team is going tomorrow." says Starkiller.
"Oh." says Sonia. "Galen. You say I will be fine after all this, am I going to an orphanage ?"
Sonia looks worried. Starkiller smiles.
"Sonia." says Starkiller. "Nobody is going to take you away from me. I will always take care of you. I will not let them take you away."

A few hours past. Starkiller is in Juno's quarters.
"Luke is worried." says Starkiller.
"About what ?" asks Juno.
"I told him about my vision." says Starkiller.
"Galen. Why ?" asks Juno.
"He needs to know." says Starkiller.
"Galen, I am positive that Luke will not die." says Juno.
"How do you know ?" asks Starkiller. "You are not a Jedi. You can't feel the force."
"But I know. Luke is wise for his age. He is strong in the force. The Emperor will not defeat him." says Juno.
"So what Juno." says Starkiller. "Are you saying that I'm not strong in the force ?"
"Galen I didn'-"
"I think you did." yells Starkiller. "You are jealous. Jealous that I am a Jedi and strong with the force."
"Galen please." says Juno. "This is a Sith talking."
"I AM FINE JUNO !'' yells Starkiller.
Juno is shocked. She walks towards Starkiller and puts her hand on his cheek. Starkiller stops her."
"STOP." says Starkiller.
"What is wrong with you ?" asks Juno.
"You Juno." says Starkiller. "You don't have no trust in me. You don't believe me. You don't have faith in me."
"Galen please." says Juno in tears.
"Juno you have changed." says Starkiller. "I am done with and you and your games."
Starkiller walks out of Juno's quarters angrily. Juno cries after he leaves. Starkiller returns to his quarters. Sonia is not there or the droids.
Starkiller changes his clothes. He sits on his bed thinking of what he has done. He grabs his lightsaber from a table next to his bed and ignites it. There is a nice blue blade. After a minute he puts his lightsaber back on the table.
Starkiller moves to lay on the bed. He closes his eyes to take a nap.
Starkiller's dream is dark. He sees the second Death Star shooting a beam at a rebel ship destroying it. He sees Endor in the background. His dream changes to a forest he sees a lightsaber duel in the forest. A blue blade and red blade. The person with the blue blade knocks the person with the red blade off a cliff. His dream changes again. He sees Juno crying. She can't stop crying. She is sad. He also sees Sonia crying. She is just like Juno she can't stop. His dream changes again and then he sees VADER.
Starkiller wakes up. He notices that he is sweating. It is evening now. He gets out of his bed and leaves his quarters. He walks to Ackbar's office.
Starkiller knocks on the door.
"Enter." says Ackbar.
The sliding doors open. Ackbar looks up to see Starkiller, he quickly looks back at his desk.
"Starkiller." says Ackbar.
"Admiral." says Starkiller standing at the door. "I just wanted to say that I am deeply sorry."
Ackbar looks back at Starkiller. He smiles.
"I know you are. You are never like that. Please, sit down." says Ackbar.
Starkiller smiles and sits at one of the three in front of Ackbar's desk.
"I am under a lot of stress Admiral." says Ackbar.
"I know you are Starkiller. Everyone is.'' says Ackbar.
"I am also scared. What if we lose this battle ?" says Starkiller.
"We have to have hope Starkiller." says Ackbar. "If we have faith in ourselves we will win. If we don't we will lose."
Starkiller smiles and gets up from the chair.
"Thank you Admiral." says Starkiller walking out of the doors.
Ackbar smiles.
"Indeed." says C-3PO "This ship can hold 1,200 passengers."
"Wow !" says Sonia "Amazing !"

"I know you are Starkiller. Everyone is.'' says Ackbar.
"I am also scared. What if we lose this battle ?" says Starkiller.
"We have to have hope Starkiller." says Ackbar. "If we have faith in ourselves we will win. If we don't we will lose."
Starkiller smiles and gets up from the chair.
"Thank you Admiral." says Starkiller walking out of the doors.
Ackbar smiles.

Chapter 4
It is the next morning. Starkiller sleeps with Juno in her bed. He is the first to wake up. He turns to look at Juno and kisses her on the cheek.
He gets out of the bed and puts back on his Refugee shirt. He leaves Juno's quarters and goes back to his quarters to check on Sonia.
He opens the door. Sonia is still sleeping and R2-V9 is still shut down. He smiles, walks up to Sonia and kisses her on the cheek as well. He walks out of his room.
He turns to the right and walks to the cafeteria to get breakfast. There is a few crew members eating breakfast. He walks up to the serving droid to get breakfast.
"Toast and juice please." says Starkiller to the serving droid.
The server droid beeps and gives Starkiller a tray with toast and juice. He walks to a table and sits alone.
He barely touches his food. He keeps thinking about the mission to Endor in a few hours. He is worried about his vision and needs to talk to Luke about it. He drinks a little bit of his juice. A few minutes later he looks at the entrance to the cafeteria and sees Sonia walking in with R2-V9.
Starkiller smiles. She walks up to him.
"How did you find your way here ?" asks Starkiller.
"R2-V9." says Sonia pointing at the droid. "I told him I was hungry and he showed me the way to here."
Sonia turns to R2-V9.
"Thanks R2." says Sonia.
R2-V9 beeps and leaves the cafeteria. Sonia turns to Starkiller.
"What is there to eat ?" asks Sonia.
"Anything you want." says Starkiller, he points to the server droid. Just ask that droid right there."
Sonia walks to the served droid.
"Pancakes, biscuit, and eggs and milk please.'' says Sonia.
The server droid beeps and gives her a tray with her breakfast. She walks towards Starkiller's table and sits next to him.
"Why is everybody talking about this mission ?" asks Sonia now eating her biscuit.
"The Alliance is heading to Endor. We are going to learn what they are doing on that planet." answers Starkiller.
"Are you going to Endor too ?" asks Sonia.
Starkiller nods.
"The whole fleet is going." says Starkiller.
Sonia finishes her biscuit and now eats her eggs. Starkiller watches Sonia eat.
"All personal to command room." says a voice over the speaker.
"I got to go. After you are done eating have a look around." says Starkiller.
''Okay." says Sonia continuing to eat her food.
Starkiller walks to the command room he spots Princess Leia talking to Chewbacca. He enters the command room. He looks for a seat and spots Juno.
He walks to Juno and sits next to her.
"How was your sleep ?" asks Starkiller.
"It was good." says Juno smiling.
"So what is all this about ?" asks Starkiller looking around the command room.
"A meeting about the mission." says Juno. "We are almost there."
"That's good." says Starkiller. He looks at the ground.
Juno looks at him.
"What's wrong ?" asks Juno.
"It's just, It's Sonia. I don't know what is going to happen to her." says Starkiller. "I'm worried."
Juno smiles and holds Starkiller's hand. Starkiller looks up at Juno.
"Don't worry everything will be okay." says Juno smiling.
Mon Mothma walks in the command room. Everyone takes there seats and become silent.
"The Emperor has made a critical error and the time for our attack has come." says Mon Mothma.
Starkiller looks at Juno she smiles, Starkiller smiles back. They both turn back to listen to Mothma's speech. The center of the room shows a holographic Death Star, the Endor moon, and the protecting deflector shields.
"The data brought to us by the Bothan spies pinpoints the exact location of the Emperor's new battle station." says Mon Mothma "We also know that the weapon systems of this Death Star are not yet operational. With the Imperial Fleet spread throughout the galaxy in a vain effort to engage us, it is relatively unprotected. But most important of all, we've learned that the Emperor himself is personally overseeing the final stages of construction of this Death Star.
Chatter spreads across the room. Starkiller is silent. Juno looks at Starkiller for a second but then turns back to Mon Mothma.
''Many Bothans died to bring us this information." says Mon Mothma "Admiral Ackbar, please."
Starkiller's face is now worried after he has heard of many Bothans deaths. Juno notices and holds his hand. Starkiller does not turn to look at Juno.
Admiral Ackbar steps forward, he points to the Death Star's force field and the Moon of Endor.
"You can see here the Death Star orbiting the forest moon of Endor." says Ackbar "Although the weapon systems on this Death Star are not yet operational, the Death Star does have a strong defense mechanism. It is protected by an energy shield, which is generated from the nearby forest moon of Endor. The shield must be deactivated if any attack is to be attempted. Once the shield is down, our cruisers will create a perimeter, while the fighters fly into the superstructure and attempt to knock out the main reactor. General Calrissian has volunteered to lead the fighter attack."
Everyone turns to Lando Calrissian while Starkiller studies the holographic Death Star. Starkiller lets go of Juno's hand.
"Good luck." says Han.
Lando nods.
"You're gonna' need it." says Han.
Eveyone then turns back to Admiral Ackbar.
"Genral Madine." says Ackbar.
General Madine walks forward.
"We have stolen a small Imperial shuttle." says Genral Madine "Disguised as a cargo ship, and using a secret Imperial code, a strike team will land on the moon and deactivate the shield generator.
Everyone begins to mumble. Starkiller looks around the room. He notices Leia saying something to Han Solo.
"General Solo." says General Madine "Is your strike team assembled ?"
Everyone looks at Han. Starkiller notices Leia looking startled.
"Uh my team's ready." says Han. "I don't have a command crew for the shuttle."
Chewbacca growls.
"That's one." says Han smiling.
"Uh, general...count me in." says Leia.
"I'm with you too !" says a voice.
Everyone looks around to see who it is. It's Luke Skywalker.
Leia embraces Luke.
"Finally." says Starkiller into Juno's ear "I can tell Luke about my vision."
Juno turns to Starkiller.
"Galen, the vision is not true." says Juno.
"Juno." says Starkiller. "My vision might be telling that the Alliance has failed, Luke might die, and the Empire will be more stronger than ever before."
Juno turns away from Starkiller and gets up to discuss the mission with other pilots. Starkiller sits alone. He sees Han, Chewbacca, and Leia talking to Luke.
A few minutes later Luke walks out of the command room by himself. Starkiller notices and gets up to follow Luke. Starkiller walks out the main door of the command room. Luke is at the end of the hallway now.
"Luke.'' yells Starkiller.
Luke turns around. He sees Starkiller and smiles.
"What do you need Starkiller ?" asks Luke as Starkiller walks up to him.
Starkiller stops as he is now in front of Luke.
"Luke." whispers Starkiller. "I had a vision. A terrible vision."
Luke looks around for a moment and then turns to Starkiller.
"Come with me." whispers Luke.
Starkiller and Luke turn to the right and walk another hallway to enter Luke's quarters. Starkiller enters first and then Luke.
"What was you vision ?" asks Luke.
"It was you and the Emperor." says Starkiller. "I saw a battle in space. Explosions. And death."
"Who's death ?'' asks Luke.
Starkiller looks at the ground and hesitates for a moment. He then looks back at Luke.
"You." says Starkiller.
Luke eyes are now wide open. He walks towards his bed to sit next to Starkiller.
"Starkiller, do you think this is the Endor mission ?" asks Luke.
"I don't know." says Starkiller. "But my vision has told me that the Empire has won."
There is silence for a few minutes.
"What is the cause of my death ?" asks Luke.
"The Emperor." says Starkiller. "He was using force lightning on you."
Luke looks startled.
"Where was An-Vader ?" asks Luke almost saying Anakin.
"I'm not sure." says Starkiller. "He was not in my vision."
Luke gets up and walks towards the door.
"Thank you Starkiller." says Luke. "We can change visions. And I must change this one."
Luke almost walks out the door but Starkiller stops him.
"Yoda, I sensed his death." says Starkiller.
Luke turns back to Starkiller.
"He was a wise and great man." says Luke "He will never be forgotten."
Luke walks out of his room. Starkiller stays sitting down for a few minutes but leaves also.
He gets out of the bed and puts back on his Refugee shirt. He leaves Juno's quarters and goes back to his quarters to check on Sonia.
He opens the door. Sonia is still sleeping and R2-V9 is still shut down. He smiles, walks up to Sonia and kisses her on the cheek as well. He walks out of his room.

Chapter 3
The boarding ramp opens. The civilians get off first and look in astonishment of the docking bay. Starkiller, Juno, & Sonia now get off. Sonia is still holding Starkiller's hand. They walk up to Admiral Ackbar.
"Admiral." says Juno.
"Eclipse, Starkiller how was the mission ?" asks Ackbar.
"We only rescued a few people Admiral." replies Juno.
Ackbar looks at Sonia. She hides behind Starkiller. Ackbar smiles.
"Who is this little girl ?" asks Ackbar.
"Admiral, this is Sonia." says Starkiller.
"Hello Sonia, I am Admiral Ackbar." says Ackbar. Sonia still hides behind Starkiller.
Ackbar laughs. Ackbar looks at Juno.
"Eclipse let us talk about the mission in my office."
"Yes Admiral." says Juno.
Ackbar now looks at Starkiller.
"Starkiller, get Sonia comfortable. You can join me and Ms. Eclipse after she is settled."
"Yes Admiral." says Starkiller.
Ackbar and Juno leave. Juno turns at Starkiller and gives him a quick smile. Starkiller smiles back. Sonia now holds Starkiller's hand again.
Starkiller walks to right which lead to the members quarters. Sonia looks around while walking.
"This ship is so big !" says Sonia in amazement.
Starkiller laughs and turns to Sonia.
"This is what I call home." says Starkiller.
"You live here !?!" asks Sonia.
"Yep." says Starkiller smiling.
Starkiller enters the doors he turns to right of the hallway which leads to his quarters. He puts his hand on the scanner. The scanner turns green, it opens the doors of his quarters.
"You room is so big !" says Sonia. She lets go of Starkiller's hand and sits on his bed.
"I would rather live on a planet then on a ship." says Starkiller still standing.
"Why did he call you Starkiller ? The admiral ?" asks Sonia.
Starkiller looks down at the ground for a second but then looks at Sonia again.
"That is my nickname. I do not really like it though." says Starkiller sitting next to Sonia now.
"Then why don't you tell them to call you Galen ?'' asks Sonia.
"I don't know. I just got use to them calling me, Starkiller.''
"Well, if you don't know like your nickname, you should go in whatever name or nickname that fits you." says Sonia.
Starkiller smiles and gets up.
"Thanks for the advice." says Starkiller.
A R2-series astromech droid enters Starkiller's quarters. Sonia gasps. Starkiller smiles.
"Is this your droid !?!" asks Sonia getting up from the bed.
"Yeah." Starkiller smiles "His name is R2-V9. He's really nice."
R2-V9 beeps. Sonia walks up to the droid and touches him.
"I'm going to report to the admiral that you are doing great." says Starkiller now at the door. "Stay here."
Sonia looks at Starkiller smiles and nods. She then turns to R2-V9 and continues to play with him.
Starkiller gets to Ackbar's office in minutes. He sees Juno and Princess Leia talking to Ackbar. They turn to him when he enters the door.
He walks to an open chair next to Juno. He gives her a quick smile and then turns to Leia.
"Princess." says Starkiller. He then turns to Ackbar.
"Admiral." says Starkiller.
"Starkiller." says Ackbar. "How is Sonia doing ?''
"She is perfect she is playing with my astromech droid." says Starkiller.
Leia, Juno, and Ackbar smile.
"Starkiller." says Leia turning to him "Where did this little girl come from ?"
Starkiller turns to Leia. "She came from Cloud City. I gave her food and water for her family. After the explosion, I sensed that she was in danger. I ran to the next block and saw her weeping in the streets while her house was buring and her parents where shot dead." says Starkiller.
Leia and Ackbar gasps.
"Princess, the Empire is killing innocent people. They killed her parents because they were trying to start a rebellion. They covered it with they stole food." says Starkiller.
Leia gasps. "They must be killing other people on Cloud City also. Killing them for no reason, just because they did something wrong or on accident." says Leia.
"We must help them.'' says Juno. "This mission was not a success. The Empire is just waiting for a battle on Cloud City."
"We will just wait. We do not have enough troops for the mission." says Ackbar.
"But we must help them admiral." says Starkiller. "They will kill more people after that attack. They want to show them that the Empire is still in power.''
"Starkiller we must wait. If we strike now they will know what is happening." says Ackbar.
"So you want more people to die on Cloud City." says Starkiller loudly. "They are killing people as we speak."
"Starkiller, I know what is right for this Alliance." says Ackbar.
"Apparently commander you don't." says Starkiller. "We must send troops now. They will be off guard."
"Starkiller, you are dismissed." says Ackbar pointing at the door.
"ACKBAR !" yells Starkiller. "THIS IS WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING FOR INNOCENT PEOPLE GETTING KILLED BECAUSE OF THE EMPIRE ! BUT YOU WANT TO START A CONVERSATION INSTEAD !"
Starkiller storms out of of Ackbar's office angry. He puts his hands into fists. He tries to calm himself down as he remembers never to use anger.
Starkiller walks to the largest docking bay of the Home One. He sits on the ground watching crew getting cargo.
"Kota, only If you were here." whispers Starkiller.
He closes his eyes and tries to speak to Kota but gets no connection. He tries harder but still gets no connection.
He opens his eyes again. Tears start to come from his eyes as remembers of Kota and his death, which was just a year ago. He wipes the tears off of his face. And gets up from the ground.
In a few minutes Starkiller returns to his quarters. He sees Sonia laughing and smiling with R2-V9. Sonia's smile makes him happy after what has happened to her.
"Having fun ?" asks Starkiller now laying on his bed.
Sonia nods and R2-V9 beeps.
"I like your droid." says Sonia.
"He's a handful." says Starkiller.
R2-V9 gives an angry beep. Starkiller and Sonia laugh.
"Galen, where am I going to go ?" asks Sonia sitting on the ground.
Starkiller now sits on his bed.
"Don't worry, you will be safe with me. I won't let anything happen to you." says Starkiller.
Sonia smiles, she yawns.
"Tired ?" asks Starkiller smiling.
Sonia nods. Starkiller gets out of his bed.
"Take a little nap." says Starkiller.
"But this is your bed." says Sonia.
"Don't worry, I will be fine.'' says Starkiller.
Sonia lays on Starkiller's bed. She puts the covers on and closes her eyes.
Starkiller smiles and turns off the light. R2-V9 rolls next to Starkiller's bed and shuts down. Starkiller walks out of the door.
He walks down the hall and knocks on Juno's door to see if she's there. Juno opens the door.
"Hey." says Starkiller.
"Hey." responds Juno.
"Can I come in ?'' asks Starkiller.
"Of course." says Juno. She gets out of the way so Starkiller can walk in. He sits on Juno's bed. She sits next to him.
"I'm sorry about earlier." says Starkiller.
"Don't worry. I understand." says Juno.
"I just don't understand why we can't do it now." says Starkiller.
"Galen, all of the ships and troops are headed for Endor. When we win the fight the Empire will be lost. We can strike then." says Juno.
Starkiller nods. There is a few seconds of silence.
"The Tatooine mission was a success." says Juno breaking the silence.
"So they rescued Captain Solo ?" asks Starkiller.
"Yes and killed Jabba the Hutt." answers Juno.
Galen eyes open wide in shock. Juno smiles.
"Is Luke here ?'' asks Starkiller.
"No. After he left Tatooine he went to another planet to talk to an old friend. He will be back soon." says Juno.
"An old friend ?" says Starkiller. "I wonder who it is ?"
"I don't know." says Juno "But It must be important."
There is a few minutes of silence. Starkiller and Juno look into each others eyes. Starkiller puts his left hand on Juno's cheek.
"Galen. I forgot our love for each other, I just remembered it a few hours ago.'' says Juno.
Starkiller laughs.
"I did too." says Starkiller. "I remember when I, I mean he first saw you."
"Galen, you are not a clone." says Juno. "You are the same person I met seven years ago."
"I am not Galen Marek. I am his clone." says Starkiller. "I remember being created on Kamino secretly by, Vader."
"I think different." says Juno. She leans forward to kiss Starkiller. She closes her eyes.
Starkiller also closes his eyes. They kiss. Starkiller takes his hand of Juno's cheek and puts both of his arms around Juno's waist.
Juno falls on the bed. She and Starkiller laugh. Starkiller takes off his Refugee shirt. He then continues to kiss Juno.
Starkiller and Juno make love. The first time they have in months.
"Admiral." says Juno.
"Eclipse, Starkiller how was the mission ?" asks Ackbar.
"We only rescued a few people Admiral." replies Juno.
Ackbar looks at Sonia. She hides behind Starkiller. Ackbar smiles.
"Who is this little girl ?" asks Ackbar.
"Admiral, this is Sonia." says Starkiller.
"Hello Sonia, I am Admiral Ackbar." says Ackbar. Sonia still hides behind Starkiller.
Ackbar laughs. Ackbar looks at Juno.
"Eclipse let us talk about the mission in my office."
"Yes Admiral." says Juno.
Ackbar now looks at Starkiller.
"Starkiller, get Sonia comfortable. You can join me and Ms. Eclipse after she is settled."
"Yes Admiral." says Starkiller.
Ackbar and Juno leave. Juno turns at Starkiller and gives him a quick smile. Starkiller smiles back. Sonia now holds Starkiller's hand again.
Starkiller walks to right which lead to the members quarters. Sonia looks around while walking.
"This ship is so big !" says Sonia in amazement.
Starkiller laughs and turns to Sonia.
"This is what I call home." says Starkiller.
"You live here !?!" asks Sonia.
"Yep." says Starkiller smiling.
Starkiller enters the doors he turns to right of the hallway which leads to his quarters. He puts his hand on the scanner. The scanner turns green, it opens the doors of his quarters.
"You room is so big !" says Sonia. She lets go of Starkiller's hand and sits on his bed.
"I would rather live on a planet then on a ship." says Starkiller still standing.
"Why did he call you Starkiller ? The admiral ?" asks Sonia.
Starkiller looks down at the ground for a second but then looks at Sonia again.
"That is my nickname. I do not really like it though." says Starkiller sitting next to Sonia now.
"Then why don't you tell them to call you Galen ?'' asks Sonia.
"I don't know. I just got use to them calling me, Starkiller.''
"Well, if you don't know like your nickname, you should go in whatever name or nickname that fits you." says Sonia.
Starkiller smiles and gets up.
"Thanks for the advice." says Starkiller.
A R2-series astromech droid enters Starkiller's quarters. Sonia gasps. Starkiller smiles.
"Is this your droid !?!" asks Sonia getting up from the bed.
"Yeah." Starkiller smiles "His name is R2-V9. He's really nice."
R2-V9 beeps. Sonia walks up to the droid and touches him.
"I'm going to report to the admiral that you are doing great." says Starkiller now at the door. "Stay here."
Sonia looks at Starkiller smiles and nods. She then turns to R2-V9 and continues to play with him.
Starkiller gets to Ackbar's office in minutes. He sees Juno and Princess Leia talking to Ackbar. They turn to him when he enters the door.
He walks to an open chair next to Juno. He gives her a quick smile and then turns to Leia.
"Princess." says Starkiller. He then turns to Ackbar.
"Admiral." says Starkiller.
"Starkiller." says Ackbar. "How is Sonia doing ?''
"She is perfect she is playing with my astromech droid." says Starkiller.
Leia, Juno, and Ackbar smile.
"Starkiller." says Leia turning to him "Where did this little girl come from ?"
Starkiller turns to Leia. "She came from Cloud City. I gave her food and water for her family. After the explosion, I sensed that she was in danger. I ran to the next block and saw her weeping in the streets while her house was buring and her parents where shot dead." says Starkiller.
Leia and Ackbar gasps.

"So you want more people to die on Cloud City." says Starkiller loudly. "They are killing people as we speak."
"Starkiller, I know what is right for this Alliance." says Ackbar.
"Apparently commander you don't." says Starkiller. "We must send troops now. They will be off guard."
"Starkiller, you are dismissed." says Ackbar pointing at the door.
"ACKBAR !" yells Starkiller. "THIS IS WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING FOR INNOCENT PEOPLE GETTING KILLED BECAUSE OF THE EMPIRE ! BUT YOU WANT TO START A CONVERSATION INSTEAD !"
Starkiller storms out of of Ackbar's office angry. He puts his hands into fists. He tries to calm himself down as he remembers never to use anger.
Starkiller walks to the largest docking bay of the Home One. He sits on the ground watching crew getting cargo.
"Kota, only If you were here." whispers Starkiller.
He closes his eyes and tries to speak to Kota but gets no connection. He tries harder but still gets no connection.
He opens his eyes again. Tears start to come from his eyes as remembers of Kota and his death, which was just a year ago. He wipes the tears off of his face. And gets up from the ground.
In a few minutes Starkiller returns to his quarters. He sees Sonia laughing and smiling with R2-V9. Sonia's smile makes him happy after what has happened to her.
"Having fun ?" asks Starkiller now laying on his bed.
Sonia nods and R2-V9 beeps.
"I like your droid." says Sonia.
"He's a handful." says Starkiller.
R2-V9 gives an angry beep. Starkiller and Sonia laugh.
"Galen, where am I going to go ?" asks Sonia sitting on the ground.
Starkiller now sits on his bed.
"Don't worry, you will be safe with me. I won't let anything happen to you." says Starkiller.
Sonia smiles, she yawns.
"Tired ?" asks Starkiller smiling.
Sonia nods. Starkiller gets out of his bed.
"Take a little nap." says Starkiller.
"But this is your bed." says Sonia.
"Don't worry, I will be fine.'' says Starkiller.
Sonia lays on Starkiller's bed. She puts the covers on and closes her eyes.
Starkiller smiles and turns off the light. R2-V9 rolls next to Starkiller's bed and shuts down. Starkiller walks out of the door.
He walks down the hall and knocks on Juno's door to see if she's there. Juno opens the door.
"Hey." says Starkiller.
"Hey." responds Juno.
"Can I come in ?'' asks Starkiller.
"Of course." says Juno. She gets out of the way so Starkiller can walk in. He sits on Juno's bed. She sits next to him.
"I'm sorry about earlier." says Starkiller.
"Don't worry. I understand." says Juno.
"I just don't understand why we can't do it now." says Starkiller.
"Galen, all of the ships and troops are headed for Endor. When we win the fight the Empire will be lost. We can strike then." says Juno.
Starkiller nods. There is a few seconds of silence.
"The Tatooine mission was a success." says Juno breaking the silence.
"So they rescued Captain Solo ?" asks Starkiller.
"Yes and killed Jabba the Hutt." answers Juno.
Galen eyes open wide in shock. Juno smiles.
"Is Luke here ?'' asks Starkiller.
"No. After he left Tatooine he went to another planet to talk to an old friend. He will be back soon." says Juno.
"An old friend ?" says Starkiller. "I wonder who it is ?"
"I don't know." says Juno "But It must be important."
There is a few minutes of silence. Starkiller and Juno look into each others eyes. Starkiller puts his left hand on Juno's cheek.
"Galen. I forgot our love for each other, I just remembered it a few hours ago.'' says Juno.
Starkiller laughs.
"I did too." says Starkiller. "I remember when I, I mean he first saw you."
"Galen, you are not a clone." says Juno. "You are the same person I met seven years ago."
"I am not Galen Marek. I am his clone." says Starkiller. "I remember being created on Kamino secretly by, Vader."
"I think different." says Juno. She leans forward to kiss Starkiller. She closes her eyes.
Starkiller also closes his eyes. They kiss. Starkiller takes his hand of Juno's cheek and puts both of his arms around Juno's waist.
Juno falls on the bed. She and Starkiller laugh. Starkiller takes off his Refugee shirt. He then continues to kiss Juno.
Starkiller and Juno make love. The first time they have in months.
Chapter 2
There are stormtroopers all over Cloud City holding blaster rifles. Starkiller and Juno act as refugee helpers. They see Cloud City civilians, they are hungry, sad, and have lost hope of the return of the Rebel Alliance.
"We need to help them." whispers Starkiller into Juno's right ear.
"They must be terrified of the Empire." whispers Juno.
"The Empire will get theirs." whispers Starkiller.
They stop at a stromtrooper at the main building in Cloud City.
"Identification.'' says the stormtrooper.
"I am Rayna A'kib." says Juno.
"I am Barron Malik." says Starkiller.
They show the stormtrooper there ID cards.
"Permission granted." says the stormtrooper.
The two walk past the stormtrooper into the building. They notice there are hardly stormtroopers in the building.
"That's odd there is no Imperial presence in here." says Juno.
"I guess this building is vacant." replies Starkiller.
They walk to an elevator to get to the 400th floor (top floor) of the building. After a few minutes they walk out of the elevator.
"Ready ?" asks Juno. She opens the Cargo and opens a secret lock and grabs explosives.
"Ready." says Starkiller.
The two plant bombs all over the top floor. They walk back to the elevator.
"This is where the fun begins." says Starkiller.
Juno laughs.
"Only you would say that." says Juno.
The two make it back to the first floor with there cargo and leave the building. They walk over to the civilians and give them food and water. Starkiller hands a little girl food and water. The little girl looks up to him.
"Thank you.'' says the little girl.
Starkiller smiles. The little girl runs to get back to her house. Starkiller looks at her to see if she is safe, after she leaves his presence he senses that she got home. He then gives more people food and water.
In a matter of seconds there is an explosion on the top floor of Cloud City's main building.
The civilians scream and gasp. Starkiller and Juno also look at the building to see the aftermath of the explosion. There is a large fire. Stormtroopers run to the building.
"-Top of the building !" says a stromtrooper as he runs past Starkiller. He notices there are no stromtroopers in sight.
"Follow us !" yells Juno to the civilians as she runs past them. The civilians follow. Starkiller stays behind to watch the fire. He senses that something is wrong a block away from his location.
Starkiller runs to the next block. He notices the little girl crying in the street. He runs up to her.
"What's wrong ?" asks Starkiller as he kneels. The little girl looks at Starkiller and points to the left.
Starkiller looks to the left and sees two bodies laying dead on the ground, the little girl's house was on fire. He has a flashback of when his parents were killed by Darth Vader. He then turns back to the little girl.
"The troops just killed them." says the girl still weeping. "Just because I brought back food & water. They said that they were stolen, but that was not TRUE ! THEY JUST WANTED TO KILL THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE HELPING THE CIVILIANS !"
"They were trying to start a rebellion ?" asks Starkiller.
The little girl nods. She then look back at the ground.
Starkiller puts his arms around her and hugs her.
"It will be okay. I lost my family too. But not by Imperial troops, but by Darth Vader."
The little girl looks at Starkiller with wide eyes. But then puts her head back on his chest.
"I have to get you out of here." says Starkiller. "They will be after you too. Because you are there child. They will think you are going to start a rebellion."
"They are going to try to kill me ?" asks the Little girl looking at Starkiller again.
He nods at the little girl. She puts her head back on his chest while Starkiller looks at the surrounding area.
"You'll be safe with me." says Starkiller quietly.
"Okay. I'll come." says the little girl. Starkiller wraps his arms around the little girl to carry her.
Starkiller runs out of Cloud City. He sees three stormtroopers blocking the entrance. They point there blaster rifles at him.
"No !" says the little girl worried. She closes her eyes.
"Trespasser !" yells one of the stormtroopers.
Starkiller force pushes the stormtroopers out of the way. He runs to the Rogue Shadow. The little girl opens her eyes in amazement to notice that she had survived. Starkiller notices Juno waiting for him at the ramp. He runs up the ramp. Juno notices the little girl but just rushed to the cockpit. There are many civilians in the Rogue Shadow's passenger room. Starkiller does not put the little girl in the passenger room but walks to his quarters. He lets his arms go and seats her on the bed.
"You'll be safe here." says Starkiller.
"Thank you." says the little girl. "What's your name ?"
"Galen." says Starkiller, the first time he ever used that name.
"My name is Sonia." She now looks at her surroundings.
"I'll be right back." says Starkiller leaving his quarters.
He enters the cockpit. Juno turns to see who it is.
"Imperials know that we did it.'' says Juno.
"I know, three stromtroopers tried to stop me." says Starkiller. He does not sit down. "Stormtroopers are killing innocent people Juno.
Juno turns in shock at Starkiller.
"They killed the little girl's parents."
"Why ?!?'' asks Juno.
"Because they tried to start a movement. But they covered it up with they stole food." says Starkiller.
Juno looks even more shock.
"I can't believe this ! This not even all of the civilians." says Juno.
"That is why we need to help those people." says Starkiller.
"What is her name ?" asks Juno.
"Sonia, I'm going to check on her." says Starkiller, he leaves the cockpit and goes back to his quarters. Sonia is still sitting on the bed. She doesn't look up to see who it is.
"Where am I going now ?" asks Sonia now looking at Starkiller.
Starkiller sits next to her on the bed.
"You are coming back with me to the main fleet of the Alliance." answers Starkiller.
"You are part of the Rebel Alliance !" says Sonia eyes wide open once again.
"Yep. We are fighting the Empire.'' says Starkiller. "And fighting for people like you."
"I never dreamed of being part of the Alliance. I wanted to be a cook on Cloud City. But a year ago that changed. I wanted to fight the Empire from taking over the Galaxy."
"How old are you Sonia ?" asks Starkiller.
"Seven." replies Sonia.
"I lost my parents when I was only two." says Starkiller.
Sonia looks at Starkiller shocked.
"Then Darth Vader raised me to be a Sith apprentice. He trained me for sixteen years. But then I found out his real plans with me, he just wanted to use me and will kill me when I completed his final task."
"You were a Sith !'' asks Sonia.
Starkiller nods.
"It was terrible, but now I'm fighting for the Alliance."
"So are you a Jedi now ?'' asks Sonia.
Starkiller nods again.
''But, but Jedi are extinct ! says Sonia in shock.
Starkiller laughs.
"There are a few people in this galaxy who have the force inside them and are not trained as Jedi. There are thousands. Jedi were never extinct. The old generation is gone, but the new generation is rising." says Starkiller.
The Rogue Shadow shakes. Sonia grabs onto his arm.
"What's happening !"
Starkiller laughs.
"We are going through hyperspace, a faster way to get around the galaxy."
"Oh." says Sonia. She lets go of Starkiller's arm. "I never been off of Bespin."
"I can tell." says Starkiller smiling. Sonia also smiles. The first time she has smiled after her parents death.
Starkiller looks out of the window which is next to his bed.
"We have arrived." says Starkiller. He gets up from his bed. He opens his hand and looks at Sonia. Sonia grabs onto his hand. They both walk out of Starkiller's quarters.
The Rogue Shadow lands in the the docking bay of the Home One, the main ship the Alliance frigate.
"We need to help them." whispers Starkiller into Juno's right ear.
"They must be terrified of the Empire." whispers Juno.
"The Empire will get theirs." whispers Starkiller.
They stop at a stromtrooper at the main building in Cloud City.
