Death Star: episode #53 Princess Leia
Previously: After taking us to our cells, Vader goes off to talk to Tarkin. He tells Tarkin who I am. Tarkin wishes to question me. Bail begins to worry about me. Mon Mothma talks to Bail about me and something else. Luke Elliot and Magg have told Mr. Idiot that the Rebels know about me.
The Maurders are now searching for me, plus Boba Fett. Back to the Death Star. I have had time for a quick glance over my room once as I hear Darth Vader approaching. �Oh great,� I think to myself. Vader opens the cell and says, �Come here. We need to question you.� When I hesitate, Vader comes in and grabs me as he pushes me along. �I�m not telling you anything.� �That confirms that you know something that we would want. You are Bail Organa�s daughter, so you must know something about the plans and the location of the Rebel Base.� Now I am in front of Tarkin. �Here she is,� Vader announces. Tarkin says, �good. Now, princess, where are the plans to the Death Star.� �I don�t know what you�re talking about.� �As Bail Organa�s daughter, I find that herd to believe.� �Well I guess you�ll have to.� Darth Vader says, �It true you may not know where the plans are, but your friend does. Tell me where he is and I�ll let you go.� Tarkin in looks at Vader. �Vader, you can�t be serious.� Vader whispers to Tarkin, �I know what I�m doing. Of course we won�t let her go, but I just need her to tell me about the boy.� �Sorry, I don�t betray my friends, and you�re the last person I�d tell anyway.� Darth Vader gets very angry. �You will tell me where the Rebel Base is then.� (He said that using mind control.) �I�m not telling you that, either. You�ll learn nothing form me.� Vader kicks the wall. He didn�t think mind control would work because it only works on stupid weak-minded people, but he thought it was worth a try. Tarkin says, �Take her away!� �Wait,� says Vader. �There is another matter I wish to discuss with our prisoner. Princess Leia, you are Bail�s daughter, and Bail is friends with the Queen of the Old Republic, Queen Samantha. Do you know anything about their location? And I guess she has a son. Where are they.� �I don�t know what you�re talking about. May I remind you that I just got here? I don�t know very many people here. I don�t know who this Queen you�re talking about is, and why would I tell you even if I did know?� Darth Vader nods. He knows that I know both about the plans and the location of the Rebel Base, but he can tell by my response that I really don�t know who Queen Samantha is or anything about this thing Arawn and the Emperor are keeping form him. Tarkin just stared at Vader the entire time. Vader drags me to a cell and throws me in. When he returns, Tarkin says, �Samantha had a son?� �I don�t know, that�s what I�m trying to find out. I have reason to believe that she does by a response she gave.� �Who�s the father?� �Tarkin, I don�t know! I need to find out.� �Does the Emperor know?� �Yes.� Tarkin nods, �As for the princess�we�ll learn nothing from her. Terminate her.� Vader is about to leave the room when an officer came in. �What is it?� Vader asks angrily. �It�s the Emperor, he demands a full report.� �I�ll take it in my room.� (Yes, Vader has a room on the Death Star.) �What could the fool want,� thinks Vader. He goes to his message block in his room and kneels before the Emperor�s image. �Darth Vader, how are things coming along.� �Fine, my master. We have captured a couple rebels. I hope to learn from them the location of the base and about the plans. And one of them is Bail Organa�s daughter, Princess Leia.� Emperor Palpatine flinches and gets a look on his face, which Vader doesn't miss. The Emperor recovers quickly. �Leia is Bail�s daughter. Kill her, Vader. The sooner the better.� �There is as little problem,� replies Vader. �She is the girl that was from the other dimension.� �You dare question my wishes?� �Of course not, master, but she can�t know much. Why kill her. I thought maybe we could still learn form her�� �No, my servant. I want her disposed of.� �AS you wish,� Vader says as he rises, ending the transmission. �What could the Emperor have against Bail�s daughter�he really wanted her dead�he was almost�scared. Something�s not right about this whole thing.� Back to Luke, Ben, Han, Chewie, and the droids. A bunch of stormtroopers is now being led to Docking Bay 94. �They went this way�there are 2 droids with them,� says an Imperial spy. Han looks up as Luke, Ben, and the droids are coming towards them. �What a piece of junk,� comments Luke. �It may not look like much, kid, but it�s got it where it counts. But as we�re kind of pressed for time, just get on board.� Luke, Ben, and the droids all get on the ship. Hen and Chewie get back to working on the ship. He hears a nose and looks up to see about 40 stormtroopers headed towards the ship.
Until next time!
