Death Star: episode #43 Closed Doorway and Rebel meeting
Previously: Owen and I landed on Anuvuin with some difficulty in locating the doorway. We ran into sebulba and Watto. We have captured Dyrnwyn and have tried to open the doorway, and have failed.
�Now if I could only remember how this thing works.� I walk outside with it. Owen is at my side. �I think they placed it on the rocks here and these little rings were inserted or something.� I try to repeat what I thought the Maurders had done. �I can�t get it�� I say in despair. �Don�t give up, Lissy. Let me try.� Owen does, but is also unsuccessful. �Well there has to be something you�re leaving out,� he concludes. �But there isn�t�I�m almost sure.� Suddenly, a voice that doesn�t belong to either of us says, �the girl is right.� I turn around automatically. So does Owen. It�s Mr. Idiot! I can�t go anywhere because Mr. Idiot takes a step closer. �You can never open the doorway.� �Please, sir,� I say. �I have to get home. It�s the only way. You open it if I can�t.� Mr. Idiot smiles, �no one can open the doorway ever again. It could only be opened 4 times. I�ve used them all up.� �You�re lying.� �I wish I were. Now you�re stuck here, so I�m afraid I�ll have to kill you.� Owen says, �Run, Lissy!!!� I look around�there�s still nowhere for me to go. Mr. Idiot reaches for the sword. �Give me the sword.� �No,� I say. But in reaching for the sword, he moved just enough for me to squeeze past him. I start running, Owen by my side. We don�t stop running until we safely reach the ship. �Do you think he was telling the truth about the doorway?� Owen says, �I�m pretty sure that he was. Let me see that sword.� I give it to him. After reexamining it a moment, he says, �Well there appears to be an inscription�� What does it say?� ��The doorway can only be opened four times, and yes, this time has counted. The doorway exists here, on this planet. Beware *&*(&(*&(* they are evil and the power form the rocks will be lost if this power changes to Maurder (*)(*)(*)(* Maurder Leader once and all. Not ()*)*)((&(*&(*&.� There�s more�but that�s all I can read. It looks like it�s been scratched out of something.� �So I can never get home�I�m stuck here forever.� �It appears that way,� says Owen. �I think he would have acted differently had the doorway been able to be opened.� �What do I do now?� �Well, I�m going to Yavin. You can join the Rebellion or something. You�re old enough to take care of yourself�at least you look and act like you could�how old are you?� �18.� Owen nods, �Well you�re considered an adult then.� Meanwhile, Darth Vader has just left Tatooine with Summoner. Vader says, �Now you�re going to have to stay in here until I retrieve those Death Star plans. But don�t worry, I�ll deal with you soon enough!� He throws him into his tightly secured prison cell on the ship. �And your son Owen �he won�t get too far away if he escapes�I put a tracker on his ship.� Summoner stares at Vader. The approach Dantooine. Vader leaves the ship and goes to Imperial Information. �You there�have there been any junk dealers coming in with parts of droids?� The stormtroooper looks at Vader kind of funny, �Lord Vader, this planet has very little metal industry�a junk dealer would have to be crazy to come here. No one would buy anything from him.� Vader nods. �I see�but you are absolutely certain? There are 2 droids that�� �Sir, droids are illegal on this planet. The governor hates them.� Vader turns around angrily. �That boy lied...good thing I thought of putting the tracker on just in such a case.� Vader got back in the ship, slamming the door. �Ah�that hurt my ears,� complained Summoner. �Good�you�re a prisoner. You�re supposed to be treated badly.� Vader angrily pressed the button for picking up trackers. �And don�t worry, Summoner, I�ll have the rest of your family in no time. The fled the planet, as I assumed they would.� But suddenly a message comes up on Vader�s computer. �What is it?� he barked. It was the Emperor. �I am requesting that you return to Coruscant immediately.� Vader�s first impulse was to tell the Emperor to wait, but he knew he couldn�t do that. �All right.� So Vader returns to Coruscant. Then Owen and I reach Yavin. �I guess this is it,�� he says. A Republic meeting has just taken place�the one Kitster�s class had gone to. Joseph and Biggs had returned after Luke had not caught up with them in like half an hour. Mon Mothma was there. She just arrived as the meeting was in progress. Bail sees her and rushes over. �Bail! It�s been so long!� �I�m glad you�re alive, Samantha. I can�t believe you kept it from everyone.� �Not everyone, Bail.� Then Bail realizes that everyone is quiet, �Oh, this is Mon Mothma, the Queen of the Rebellion.� He and she both knew that the younger members of the Alliance would not recognize her�probably not ones under age 28. Yes, the older members knew whom she really was and were excited. The meeting soon ended, but everyone decided to stay at the Base for a couple of days.
