SonicxStarWars P2 Chapter 22

Chapter 22: The Forest Moon of Endor

The Tyderium landed in a small clearing, where the Freedom Fighters and Rebels, all suited up in camouflage, and Cipher was all painted in his forest camouflage, got ready to make their long forest trek to the shield generator.

“Boy, this place feels a lot like the Great Forest back home.” said Dulcy.

“You’re right, Dulcy.” said Bunnie.

“Alright, I’ll check ahead.” said Sonic as he got ready to run off, but was held back by Han and Chewie.

“Hold it Sonic! The noise you make will give us away! So let’s go slow on this, okay?” asked Han.

“Aw, man. I hate going slow. Boring!” said Sonic.

“By the way, Sonic, did you pack enough Power Rings?” asked Sally.

“Way ahead of you Sal.” said Sonic as he opened his backpack and revealed many Power Rings in the main pocket.

“Let’s move out, then.” said Han as he led the Freedom Fighters and Rebels deep into the forest. No one said a word, and despite Sonic’s impatience, they went slow and laid low. As they got a few kilometers away, Han told the Commandos to take cover.

“Oh, I told you  it was dangerous here!” said 3P0.

Han, Chewie, Luke, Leia, Sonic, Sally, Tails, Knuckles, and Julie-Su went on ahead to check ahead. Up in a clearing ahead, were two Scout Troopers. “Should we try and go around?” asked Leia.

“It’ll take time.” said Luke.

“This whole party will be for nothing if they see us.” said Han.

“I can take care of these guys, no prob!”

“Hold it.” said Han. “Chewie, Sonic, Knuckles, and I will take care of this, you stay here.”

“Quietly!” said Luke. “There might be more of them out there!”

“Hey, it’s me.” said Han as he winked at Luke and Leia. Then he, along with Sonic, Knuckles, and Chewie crept towards the troopers. Luke, Leia, Sally, and Julie-Su just looked at one another.

The foursome crept their way behind one of the troopers and Han was ready to attack when suddenly, he stepped on a branch which snapped, and suddenly, the trooper turned and knocked Han over and attempted to shoot him. “Go for help! Go!” said the trooper to his comrade, who ran for his bike.

“Great! Come on!” said Luke as he, Leia, Julie-Su, Sally, and Tails raced off to help. Han and Sonic wrestled with the trooper while his comrade attempted to escape on his bike, but was promptly shot down by Chewie and Knuckles. But then, as Luke, Leia, Julie-Su, and Sally arrived, Leia saw 4 more troopers.

“Over there! 4 more of them!”

“I see them…wait, Leia!” shouted Luke as he and Leia climbed aboard a Speeder Bike and gave chase. Sonic then grabbed Sally and following Luke and Leia, they chased after the troopers.

“Hey wait!” shouted Han as he managed to defeat the trooper.

Sonic, Sally, Leia, and Luke chased after the scout troopers, and were running hard. “Quick jam their comlink! Center switch!” Luke shouted to Leia. They weaved in between the trees as they chased the troopers. “Get along side that one!” said Luke. Leia maneuvered her bike next to one of the troopers, who then tried to ram them, but then, Luke jumped aboard the trooper’s bike and threw off the trooper. This gave Sally an idea.

“Sonic, get in between those two!”

Sally then handed Sonic a Power Ring and said: “Hang on Sal! We’re going Warp Sonic!” Sonic then charged at the two troopers and got in between them. Sally then seizing the moment, kicked the trooper on their right, and then lept aboard his bike and threw him off. Sonic then jumped aboard the other trooper’s bike, and kicked him off in the process. Now they were chasing the lone remaining bike, but then, 3 more joined the chase, and fired at the foursome.

“Keep on that one, Sonic and I will take these two!” shouted Luke as he and Sonic braked to get behind the pursuers. Sally and Leia continued chasing the single biker deeper into the woods. Luke then fired at one of the pursuers, causing one to lose control and crash into a tree. Sonic and Luke continued chasing the remaining two bikers.

Leia and Sally chased the lone biker, and as they closed in on him, he attempted to evade them by accelerating, but they caught up to him easily, and fired at the biker. But when they got on the left side of the biker, he draws his blaster pistol and fires at them, and manages to make Leia fall off her bike, taking Sally with her. Their bikes crash into a nearby tree, but the scout trooper didn’t watch where he was going, so he crashed into another. Leia and Sally then lose consciousness in the underbrush.

Luke and Sonic chased their pair of bikes, exchanging blows with each other. Eventually, Luke lost control of his bike and fell off as it crashed into a tree. Sonic, barely managed to jump off his bike as it crashed into a tree as well. As the first trooper attempted to shoot Sonic down, Luke activated his Lightsaber and managed to cut the front off the bike, and sent it flying out of control and into a tree. Sonic grabbed another Power Ring out of his backpack, and doing a Spin Dash, flew into the trooper and cut his bike in half and knocked the trooper into a tree.

“Good work Sonic!” said Luke.

“Thank you, thank you!” said Sonic.

“C’mon, let’s get back to Han and the others.” said Luke.

Meanwhile, Han and the other Rebels and Freedom Fighters were waiting, when R2 detected somebody approaching: “Oh, General Solo! Somebody’s coming!” Han and the others readied for battle, but only found that it was Sonic and Luke.

“Luke! Sonic!” said Han. “Where’s Leia and Sally?”

“What, they didn’t come back?” asked Luke.

“I thought they were with you.” said Han.

“We got separated!” said Luke. “We’d better go look for them!”

“Take the squad ahead.” said Han to a commando. “We’ll meet at the shield generator at 0300.”

“C’mon R2, we’ll need your scanner!” said Luke as he, Han, Chewie, The Freedom Fighters, R2, and 3P0 raced off to go find Leia and Sally.

“Don’t worry, Master Luke, we know what to do! And he said it was pretty here. Ugh!” said 3P0 replying to a remark by R2.

Meanwhile, a short, furry creature approached Leia and Sally’s bodies, and poked them both with a spear he was carrying. This woke Leia and Sally up with a shock, as Leia said: “Cut it out!” The creature pointed his spear at the two princesses, and as they got onto a nearby log, Leia said: “We’re not gonna hurt you.” But then she said: “Well, looks like we’re stuck here. The only problem is, we don’t know where here is. Maybe you could help us.” The creature just stared at the two, and Sally thought NICOLE could translate, but saw that she had lost NICOLE in the excitement. “C’mon, sit down.” Leia suggested. But the creature simply was nervous and continued holding his spear at the two. “We promise, we won’t hurt you, now come here.” said Leia. But the creature still wouldn’t do that.

“I think he’s afraid of us, Leia.” said Sally.

“I know, Sally. Leave this to me.” replied Leia, who then grabbed a ration bar from one of her pockets. “Hey, want something to eat?” she asked the creature, who got very curious and walked over and tried the ration bar. He seemed to enjoy it, but then, when Leia removed her helmet, it jumped and felt threatened again. “Look, it’s a hat. It’s not gonna hurt you, look!” said Leia, offering her helmet to the creature. The creature examined Leia’s helmet just as Sally removed hers, but then, the creature smelled something. “What is it?” asked Leia.

“He must sense danger is nearby. Be ready.” said Sally clutching her blaster pistol. One moment, everything was quiet, then suddenly, a blaster shot came out of nowhere, nearly hitting them. They jump behind the log, and Sally and Leia, blasters at the ready, a ready to fight, as they duck to avoid another shot.

But while surveying the area, they hear a familiar: “Freeze!” said a Scout Trooper holding them at blaster point. The creature hid under the log, and then the trooper turned to his partner: “Go and get your ride, take it back to base.”

“Yes sir!” said the other trooper.

The first trooper prepared to capture the two princesses, when the creature hit the trooper in the leg with his spear. “What the…” the trooper said before Leia knocked him out with a log, and then she and Sally turned towards the other trooper, who was just leaving on his bike, and fired upon him, making his bike explode and killing the other trooper.

The creature was quite impressed and Leia said: “Come on, let’s get outta here.” and before either Leia or Sally could go in one direction, the creature led them in another direction, and now the two princesses were now confused as to where they were going now.
