STAR WARS
EPISODE I: THE REPUBLIC

Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived in their spaceship to planet Naboo. The child queen Padmé Naberrie Amidala received them. Planet Naboo is located near a crises zone. In this zone the political conflicts between different planets are becoming more and more frequent. Even some local fights (small scale wars) happened. Which is very unusual for the Republic, because there weren't any wars in the Republic for several thousand years. In this time the Republic knew only peace. There weren't even any armies in the Republic. Only the Jedis with their Force kept peace. But the Jedis were loosening their control in the crises zone, where the Force was becoming weaker and weaker. But that knew only the Jedis. Until now the crises zone encompassed only less important planets, but Naboo was the first larger planet that was affected by it. The Republic just couldn't allow that Naboo would become part of the crises zone. So Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, which was one of the highest Jedi Masters, was sent to Naboo. Besides that Padmé Naberrie Amidala had also a very confidential information for the Jedis, which she wanted to mediate only personally to them.

After the formal ceremony the two Jedis had a private meeting with the queen and some of her most confidential counselors. They went through the situation in the crises zone and how it affected Naboo. Then the Jedis were told about the last incident. Another planet from the crises zone was becoming more and more hostile to Naboo. Some days ago they attacked a Naboo mining station around a gas giant. They plundered it and killed all the workers. Qui-Gon Jinn tried diplomatically to reassure the queen and her counselors. Naboo had already a large police force. It was also a powerful and wealthy planet, so they could quickly build a large army and take revenge. Which would provoke a chain reaction and only make the crises worse. Fortunately the queen was a pacifist, but some of her counselors were not. But for the time being she could prevent Naboo from arming itself. Then the Jedis were told, that among the dead workers there was also a dead body of a Jedi. They all go to the mortuary to see the body. It was one of the Jedi that worked in that part of the crises zone. The most chocking thing was, that he was killed by a lightsaber. Only a Jedi could kill another Jedi with a lightsaber. From the beginning of the Jedi knights several thousands years ago not once did Jedi knights fight with each other. Because The Force was good and so all the Jedis were good, there was no bad or dark Force. And now suddenly for the first time in the history of the Jedis a Jedi was killed with a lightsaber. The body showed also several wounds, which indicated a very heavy fight. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi took the body to their space ship and went to the mining station to investigate the circumstances of the murder.

The mining station was large, partly destroyed, empty and very spooky. The Jedis walked around the station. They could feel a strange sensation - the Dark side of the Force. This was the first time in the history of the Jedi knights that the Dark side of the Force revealed itself to them. It was a terrifying experience for Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Darth Maul was also in the station. First he watched the two Jedis secretly, then he attacked. There was a fierce battle with lightsabers between Darth Maul and the two Jedis in the corridors of the mining station. During the battle Darth Maul explained to the Jedis that he was a Dark lord of the Sith, that his master was Darth Sidious, that there was the Dark side of the Force, which was more powerful than the Force of the Jedis and that this was the beginning of the end of the Jedi Knights. When the Jedis heard this they had only one goal: to escape from Darth Maul, who was more powerful than both of them, and bring this information/warning to Coruscant, to Master Yoda and to the other Jedis. After a heavy fight they succeeded to escape from the mining station in their space ship. But Qui-Gon Jinn had a strange feeling that Darth Maul let them escape. As soon as they were in their spaceship they were attacked by a small army of spaceships. There was a spectacular space battle in the proximity of the gas giant and his large and beautiful rings. The Jedis escaped to the hyperspace.

Coruscant. The capital of the Republic. The whole planet was a large city. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived to Coruscant and they immediately presented the informations that they had to Yoda and other High Jedis Masters. The Jedis were chocked that there was a Dark side of the Force and they were even more shocked by the fact that the Dark side was hidden successfully for so long from them. Several thousands years ago the Galaxy was in turmoil. There were several intelligent species, several large or small empires, kingdoms, dictatorships which were more or less in constant war with each other. The suffering was great. Then one day on a small and deserted planet the intelligent species came in contact with the Force. First there was confusion but soon they learned the way of the Force. The Jedi knights were born. First they influenced the small part of the Galaxy around the planet, which was the origin of the Force. The Force brought stability and peace to that part of Galaxy which was still surrounded by wars, dead and suffering. In several hundreds years the Jedis became more and more numerous and powerful and their influence expanded through the whole Galaxy. They brought stability and peace to the whole Galaxy - the Republic was born, which lasted for several thousand years. In this period there were still conflicts, but the Jedis always prevented the escalation of the conflicts. The Force had the power to suppress the aggressiveness of the intelligent races. More powerful was the Force less conflicts there were. And the Force was spread by the Jedis.

Supreme Chancellor Palpatine was going to the senate. He was a supporter of a more centralized and powerful Republic. With more and more conflicts in the Republic he became louder about his ideas of a strong Republic. With time he had also more supporters but also more opposition in the senate. His last suggestion was, that the Republic should have a strong army with which it could solve armed conflicts between planets. He was again trying to get the suggestion through the senate. But he didn't succeed, the opposition was to large. A lot of people were afraid of such a powerful army. And still they got the Jedis who solved such crises before, although in the past the crises were much smaller. After the senate Palpatine had a meeting with Yoda. Yoda didn't tell Palpatine about the Dark Force and Darth Maul. He didn't trust him to much and also the Jedis were not fond of a Republic army. The two of them discussed the crises zone from which Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi came back. With this crises zone there was also another problem. The crises zone was approaching planet Tatooine. On this planet the Jedis were secretly watching a young boy - Anakin Skywalker. The Force was exceptionally powerful with the boy. In all the history of the Jedi knights there was never a Jedi with such powers. Also there were some ancient almost lost myths that some day a extreme powerful Jedi will be born, who will bring through ferocious events balance back to the Force. The suffering will be great. Most Jedis were the opinion that they should be cautious and that they should not allow this boy to become a Jedi. So they made the decision that they would closely watch the boy but would not train him to become a Jedi. Palpatine agreed with this, but he would rather see that the boy would became o powerful Jedi who would help the Republic to become a strong and powerful Republic. But now that the crises zone was approaching Tatooine they couldn't let the boy stay much longer on the planet. The danger was to great. Especially if the Dark side of the Force would try to get he boy - but Palpatine didn't know that. So Yoda and Palpatine agreed that they would discretely evacuate the boy to another distant place.

Yoda and another High Jedi Master called Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to a private meeting. They told both Jedis everything about Anakin Skywalker. Only a small group of Jedis knew about the boy, so it was a surprise for both Jedis that such a boy existed. The plan was that the boy should be evacuated as quickly as possible to a distant planet and he would still not be allowed to become a Jedi. Three Jedis were already watching the boy on Tatooine and in the past days two more Jedis arrived to Tatooine to protect the boy. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi would go to Tatooine and Qui-Gon Jinn would supervise the evacuation. He was chosen because he was the only Jedi who had experience in confronting the Dark side and there was a possibility that the Dark side would try to get the boy. The Jedis hoped, that the Dark side didn't knew about the boy. But if there would be any sign that the Dark side knew about the boy and that it would try to get the boy to it's side, then the Jedis would change their decision and train the boy to become a powerful Jedi.

Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi went in their spaceship to Tatooine. Before they arrived, Darth Maul attacked the five Jedis that were protecting the boy. Only one heavy wounded Jedi survived. Darth Maul took the boy from his mother and escaped into the desert. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi found the wounded Jedi and went into the desert after Darth Maul. Both Jedis knew that Darth Maul was extremely powerful and that they would probably die confronting him, but they had to try to rescue the boy. The boy was to important for the Jedis. But now the two Jedis had an advantage, they knew who or what they would confront and they could prepare for that. They prepared themselves for the most important battle in their lives. They found Darth Maul and the scared boy in the desert. There was a long spectacular fight at sunset in the desert. The Jedis and Darth Maul got wounded several times. Also the boy got wounded during the battle. Darth Maul killed Qui-Gon Jinn, but he couldn't save himself from Obi-Wan Kenobi. Obi-Wan Kenobi killed Darth Maul with his last strength. Before Qui-Gon Jinn dyed he told Obi-Wan Kenobi, that his intuition tells him, that the whole kidnapping and the fight was a setup. Obi-Wan Kenobi took the unconsciousness boy and went back to the city to get help for him. He knew that now there was no alternative - the Jedis would train the boy to become a powerful Jedi. Darth Sidious in his hidden place. He is extremely satisfied with the course of the events. Darth Maul his  apprentice did a excellent job, just how he was trained to do.

Obi-Wan Kenobi was in front of Yoda and other High Jedi Masters on Coruscant. They were satisfied with him. He became a Jedi Master. His apprentice would be Anakin Skywalker. The Jedis decided, that the boy would be trained as a normal Jedi, there would be no mention of his exceptional power to him. But he would always be carefully watched and protected.

The End of Episode I

EPISODE II: ATTACK OF THE CLONES

Padmé Naberrie Amidala, senator of the planet Naboo, arrived to Coruscant. At the spaceport a bomb exploded and she was killed. But only her double was killed. The real Padmé was disguised as an escort, so she survived the attempt on her life.

Supreme Chancellor Palpatine was discussing with his adviser. He just got the news about the failed attempt on senator Padmé. He was preparing for the deciding vote in the Senate. In the last years the crises in the Republic got more and more serious. On the other hand the Jedi Knights were less and less in control of the events in the Republic. About some ten years ago he lose the vote in the senate to establish a Republic army. In the last years he was thoroughly preparing a second vote about this. At the same time the vote was also about giving him much more political powers and the supreme command of the Republic army. The vote would be the next day. Yoda came to Palpatine. He was trying one last time to persuade Palpatine to change his mind about the vote. But Palpatine became in the last years more and more powerful. To powerful for Yodas taste, he was afraid that the things would go out of control. Palpatine told that he had some intelligent information that the Tusken Empire was behind the attempt on senator Padmé. Yoda doubted the information, he had a very frightful suspicion that Palpatine in a way could be behind the attempt, because this attempt could turn the vote in the senate in his favor. Palpatine suggested, because he was concerned about the safety of Padmé, that Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice Anakin Skywalker should be her bodyguards until she is in danger. Yoda agreed with him.

Padmé had a meeting with her advisers. She just came from Naboo for the vote tomorrow. The political situation on Naboo was very complex. In the last years Naboo became part of the crises zone. There were a lot of conflicts with the neighboring planets. In the crises zone some planets joined together and formed a powerful force. They built a small army and established a fragile stability in the crises zone. They separated themselves from the Republic and created an independent Empire - the Tusken Empire. In those years Naboo also built a small army, but only for self defense. The Tusken Empire tried to persuade Naboo to join them. If Naboo with it's army would join the Empire, then the Empire would have a powerful army which would be a dangerous threat for that part of the Republic. But If Naboo would not join the Empire then the Empire would probably attack Naboo to get hold of its army and other resources. Naboo was divided between the advocates and opponents of joining the Tusken Empire. But no one on Naboo was fond of a Republic army. They were more afraid of a powerful Republic army then of the Empire. For now the opponents, which were also the Queen and senator Padmé, had the majority, because Naboo, as a political and economical powerful planet, was very proud of its independence. They believed that they army was powerful enough to defend them against the Empire and they still believed that the Jedis could solve the crises. But they were afraid that, if there would be a Republic army, they would lose their independence and the Republic would become a dictatorship. So if the Republic Senate would vote for the Republic army then Naboo advocates would get the majority and Naboo would join the Empire. Because of this complex political situation Padmé became one of the leaders of the opposition in the Republic Senate, who were strictly against the Republic army. The attempt on her life at the spaceport and the rumors that the Tusken Empire stood behind the attempt, ruined her politically. She would lose some senators who were already not very much convinced to vote against the Republic army and who would now after the attempt be more afraid of the danger of the Tusken Empire.

After the meeting Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker joined Padmé. Padmé recognized Obi-Wan Kenobi, but  Anakin Skywalker she saw for the first time. They liked each other on first sight but they didn't show that. Anakin Skywalker was already a powerful Jedi and he knew that. He was becoming more and more self-confident and arrogant.  Obi-Wan Kenobi had a lot of trouble to keep him under control.

That evening when Padmé was at sleep there was another attempt on her life. The two Jedis saved her the last moment. They began to follow the assassin. There was a spectacular chase through the city with their flying cars. At the end they got the assassin. But before they could get some information from her, she was killed by Jango Fett who killed her from a large distance with a special missile.

The next morning Anakin Skywalker was by Palpatine. Palpatine often called Anakin to talk with him. He liked him, he liked the power in him. He knew that in the future he would have problems with the Jedis so he would need a powerful Jedi on his side. In these meetings he prepared Anakin for the role. It was not difficult because Anakin loved power and he was already convinced by himself that the Republic needed a more powerful leadership and a powerful army.

Before the vote in the Senate Padmé had a fantastic speech to persuade the senators to vote against the Republic army. But it was hopeless. Palpatine got the majority. He was very satisfied. Yoda wasn't.

Yoda called Obi-Wan Kenobi to him. He told him that his task would be to find out who was behind the attempt on  Padmé. If he found out that Palpatine stood behind the attempt and if he could prove it then there was still hope that the Senate would annul todays decision. Yoda gave also orders to Obi-Wan that Anakin should go with Padmé back to Naboo to protect her for the next some months and that there would be also a secret mission for Anakin on Naboo. He should carefully watch the political situation there and report back to Yoda. The most important reason that Yoda wanted Anakin on Naboo was that Anakin would be far away from Palpatine at this critical time. He and the other High Master Jedis didn't like the friendship between Anakin and Palpatine.

Padmé and Anakin were going disguised back to Naboo, to prevent another attempt on her life. Back on Naboo they had a admission with the Queen and her advisers. After the two attempts on Padmé and the vote in the Senate Naboo was in a political turmoil with a lot of wild emotions. Padmé was the key person of this turmoil. So the Queen suggested that Padmé should retreat to her province residence for some months, where she could rest and wait until the political situation would calm down. Padmé didn't like the suggestion, but she wasn't aloud to contradict the Queen. She knew that this was the first small victory of the advocates of joining the Tusken Empire, who just wanted to eliminate her from the political scene in this critical time. Padmé and Anakin went to her province residence.

Obi-Wan Kenobi had the missile with which the assassin was killed. He found out that the missile was very special. It was not a standard missile made from standard material. It was made on planet Kamino. Not everyone could afford such a missile. Kamino was a planet which was not part of the Republic. It was at the edge of the galaxy, very far away from the boundaries of the Republic. On kamino they were very good at producing high tech war equipment. In the last thousands years of the Republic they didn't sell so much as before, but enough to keep them producing the army goods. They hoped for better days.

Padmé and Anakin were at her province residence. They enjoyed it. Slowly they felt in love with each other, but they still tried to resist it. Together they visited several spectacular places.

Obi-Wan Kenobi visited Kamino. He was surprised when he heard that he was expected. They didn't expect exactly him, but some representative of the Republic. He was told that about some ten years ago they started to build a large and powerfull army. They also build the soldiers who where fast growing clones. And now it was almost finished. They showed him around their facilities. He could see the warriors, different equipment and also holopictures of the starcruisers. It was magnificent. Obi-Wan Kenobi asked them who ordered this army. They answered that no one. They were all the time closely watching the Republic - their market. And about some ten years ago their analitics foresaw that in nearby future the Republic would need a powerful army. So they started to build it, so they would have it when the Republic would wanted to buy it from them. Obi-Wan Kenobi didn't believe them. It was a nice diplomatic way of saying that they would not reveal the person who ordered this army. Then Obi-Wan Kenobi tried in a diplomatic way to find some more information about the special missile - he liked the technology and would like to order such missiles also for some special Republic forces. He found out that they made this kind of missiles only for one person - Jango Fett. Jango Fett was also the origin of al the clones for the army. He was paid well for this, and they made also a personal clone for him - Boba Fett who was growing normal and not fast as the other clones. They told him that he was at that moment in his department on Kamino.

Anakin couldn't sleep well for the last weeks. He had nightmares about his mother. The feeling that she was in terrible pain grew stronger and stronger. So he decided that he would go to Tatooine for some days to visit his mother and to see if she was well. Padmé decided that she would go with him. He didn't like that, but he couldn't persuade her not to go.

Obi-Wan Kenobi visited Jango Fett. They talked politely about unimportant things, but the tension in the air was very high. Jango Fett knew that Obi-Wan knew that he killed the assassin. After Obi-Wan left, Jango Fett started to pack to leave immediately whit his clonal son.

Anakin and Padmé arrived on Tatooine. Anakin found out that some years ago a man bought her freedom and married her. Before that she was a slave. They lived on a small farm in the desert. They were happy together. But some time ago the sand people kidnapped her. There was nothing her husband could do about it, especially as he had an injured leg. She was probably already dead. Anakin was very chocked and angry.

Obi-Wan Kenobi sent a brief message back to Yoda about what he found on Kamino. Then he went after Jango Fett to catch him so they could interrogate him on Coruscant. He got on the spaceport where Jango Fett was preparing to leave. There was a spectacular fight between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jango Fett. Jango Fett wounded Obi-Wan and escaped with the help of his son who was already in his spaceship. Before he escaped Obi-Wan succeeded in putting a transmitter on his ship so the Jedis could in the future locate his ship and find him. Then Obi-Wan went back to Coruscant.

In the evening Anakin went to the desert to find his mother. He had the feeling that she was still alive. He found her as a prisoner in a camp of the sand people. He untied her. She was still alive and very happy when she saw him. Then she died in his arms. Anakin was very sad but also very angry and frustrated. He was the most powerful Jedi and still he couldn't save her mother. He became more and more angry. Then he exploded. He took his lightsaber and killed all the sand people, man, woman and also kids. It was a massacrer which produced a shock wave through the Force in the galaxy. Yoda could feel it. Obi-Wan Kenobi could feel it. Anakin was back before morning at the farm. Padmé found him. He was emotionally ruined. He verbally attacked Padmé when explaining what happened. She was shocked, but she felt pity for him. They buried her mother and went back to Naboo.

There was a meeting by Yoda on Coruscant. All the High Master Jedis were there. Obi-Wan Kenobi was also there. They were discussing the situation which was getting out of their hands. Palpatine got his power and army and the very bad news was that Kamino had the army already prepared for him to buy. Anakin was more and more lost. The Dark side of the Force was becoming more and more powerful in the galaxy. The Jedis could feel it grow. The Jedis tracked the signal of Jango Fett to the Tusken Empire, but there they lost the signal. The Jedis that were undercover in the Empire would try to locate Jango Fett again. It was very important that they got him. They also decided that they would leave Anakin on Naboo, far away from Coruscant and Palpatine.

Several months later. It was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter on Naboo. Anakin and Padmé became secretly lovers. They didn't like it, they tried to stop with it several times but love was to powerful. That day there would be a vote in the parliament about joining the Tusken Empire. Anakin and Padmé observed the session. The parliament voted that Naboo should join the Tusken Empire. The Queen would make the formal decision based on this vote.  Padmé was very sad about the vote, but she could understand it. Anakin was angry, he saw the decision as an attack on the Republic, on his Republic. The two of them had a fight about it.

The Jedis located Jango Fett in the Tusken Empire. Obi-Wan Kenobi was sent to catch him. Jango Fett had a meeting with a general of the Tusken Empire. He was given a delicate mission, but he would be payed very well. Formally he would go to Naboo as one of several army advisers that the Empire would sent to Naboo to accommodate its army to the Empires army. But his real mission would be to assassinate the generals in the Naboo army who were opposed to joining the Empire. Jango Fett and his clonal son flew to Naboo in their spaceship. Obi-Wan Kenobi intercepted them not far away from Naboo. There was a spectacular space battle, also in a asteroid bell. Obi-Wan managed to damage Jangos spaceship, so Jango had to made an emergency landing on a nearby planet. The planet was rarely populated and it was under the jurisdiction of Naboo. Jango tried to escape with his son, but Obi Wan was close behind him. There was a spectacular chase and fight. Obi Wan was close to disabling Jango, when Jango was killed by the Storm Troopers of the Republic Army. The Republic army invaded the planet. They were preparing to seize Naboo. The Storm Troopers killed Jango, while they thought that Obi-Wan was in danger. Obi-Wan was skeptical about the explanation. He was so close to Jango and the important informations and he lost it. Boba Fett escaped.

There was panic on Naboo. The Republic army attacked Naboo. Anakin was glad about it. Padmé was heavily shocked about Anakin being glad. They had a heavy fight with each other. The Naboo army had no chance against the Republican army, they were completely surprised by the attack. The spectacular battle around Naboo was quickly ended. The Storm Troopers landed on Naboo and the Republic army took control over Naboo. They deposed the Queen and released the parliament. Naboo became an army protectorate of the Republic. Anakin, still angry on Padmé, went of the planet, with the escort that came for him, to the largest star cruiser which was in command of the battle. There on the deck he met Palpatine, who was very proud of the succeeded battle. Anakin was also proud.

The Republic army attacked the Tusken Empire. The Empire army had enough time to prepare for the attack. The battle was very heavy and long lasting. It was a spectacular battle in deep space. After several thousands years of peace the Republic was again witness to great scale war. The Republic army was stronger. The Tusken Empire was soon destroyed. It was a great victory for the Republic army.

Some months later, when the Republic army established complete control over the former Tusken Empire, there was a spectacular army parade on and around Coruscant. Coruscant was celebrating the victory. A strong and powerful Republic was born. It was a very dark day for the Jedis.

The End of Episode II

EPISODE III: THE DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE

A large starcruiser arrived to Coruscant. Coruscant was becoming a heavy guarded fortress with a lot of heavy armed starships around it. A small spaceship descended from the large starcruiser to Coruscant. It arrived on a spaceport. From it came Anakin Skywalker. He came back from another successful army mission in the Republic. He successfully solved another conflict and established peace and stability, with the help of fear and a powerful army force. Later that day Yoda summoned Anakin to him. There were also some other High Jedi Masters and Obi-Wan Kenobi at the meeting. The tension in the air was very high. Yoda tried for another time to solve the conflict between Anakin and the other Jedi Knights. He didn't like that Anakin obeyed more Palpatine than himself. Anakin was a Jedi Knight and he should work for the interest of the Jedis and not for the military interest of Palpatine. But Anakin was disappointed and also angry on Yoda and the other Jedis. After more than ten years of crises in the Republic, Palpatine succeeded in establishing a united and powerful Republic and bringing again stability and peace to the Republic. And not only that the Jedis didn't help Palpatine they criticized him and tried to disqualify him. He was the only Jedi that saw the truth and helped Palpatine. Anakin walked angry away from the meeting.

After Anakin left, the Jedis were absorbed in their thoughts for a long time. Then someone said that there was nothing that they could do about it any more. They all looked at Yoda. He knew the final decision would bi his. He agreed, they should go with their plan. It was the hardest decision for Yoda in his life. They had thoroughly discussed it and planned it in the last months. Anakin was becoming more and more powerful. Also the Dark side of the Force was becoming stronger in him. He wasn't himself anymore. It was just a question of time, when he would become completely absorbed by the Dark side. The Jedis should at any cost prevent that. It was their mistake that Anakin became what he was now. And it was their duty to set the things right again. They decided to murder Anakin. They decided that Anakin deserves a honored dead by lightsaber.

Anakin was in his starcruiser around a planet. The Republic army just defeated the local rebellion. It was a quick and easy victory. To easy for Anakin. But he thought that his growing reputation was helping him. He was landing on the planet to personally depose the ruler and establish the army protectorate. He liked that part. The planet had a lot of spectacular high mountain-ridges. Between the ridges there was a sea of high poisonous gas. On the ridges were industry facilities and cities. It was a rich world, because the poisonous gas had also a high economical value. Anakin and his personal guard came to the spectacular main city. There were a lot of storm troopers in the city. When Anakin came to the headquarters the rebels started to attack the Republican army. The attack started in space, on the planet and in the headquarters. The surprise was complete. It was a trap thought Anakin. An excellent trap, the rebels had to have some help from someone inside the Republic or even from someone inside the Republic army. There was a heavy fight. The losses were heavy on either side. Anakin was trapped in the headquarters. His guard was already eliminated. He was alone. He was angry on himself, because he fell in this trap. It was his mistake. He was overconfident. He promised himself that that would never happen again in his life. As a powerful Jedi he could still fight himself out of the situation. But then five other Jedis appeared. They were all High Jedi Masters, without Yoda or Obi-Wan Kenobi. Anakin knew what this meant. It was a desperate situation. He could kill some Jedis, but five were to much. Even if he killed them all, there were still the rebel soldiers with heavy weapons, which were appearing in more and more numbers. Nothing was left to chance. He had to die that day. The spectacular fight between Anakin and the five Jedis began. Anakin was indeed a extreme powerful fighter, probably the best Jedi fighter ever born. During the long and heavy fight Anakin succeeded in killing two Jedis, but he was heavy wounded. They fought on a cliff above the poisonous gas. Anakin was again heavy wounded and he fell from the cliff. He caught himself on the rocks. But then he slipped lower, caught himself again, slipped lower again. It was a agony. Then he fell in the sea of the poisonous gas. It was over. The remaining three Jedis looked sadly after him.

Palpatine was extreme pissed of when he heard about the dead of Anakin. The official version was that the rebels killed him. Bat palpatine knew who did it. He would take revenge on the Jedis. He would outlaw them and their mysterious Force. He would made them illegal and then persecute them through the whole galaxy. The plan was already made in detail, but now that they eliminated Anakin he would speed it up. There should be no problem, because he had already the absolute majority in the Parliament.

Darth Sidious was in his secret place. His servants saved Anakin from the sea of the poisonous gas. Anakin was more dead then alive. He was connected to several machines and he had several heavy surgeries behind him. After several weeks in coma he was consciousness again. During the next weeks Darth Sidious healed him and opened him to the Dark side of the Force. From the beginning there was the Dark Force. The Force that the Jedis knew was only a smaller subset of the Dark Force. And now Anakin was exposed to the whole and much more powerful Dark force. Darth Sidious was the material implementation of the Dark Force. Several thousand years ago he wanted to rule the galaxy. But to rule the galaxy he first had to unify and centralize the political powers in the galaxy. He created a subset of the powerful Dark Force and established the Jedi Knights. The Jedi Knights never knew that their Force was only a subset of the Dark Force and that Darth Sidious was behind it. Darth Sidious manipulated the Jedi Knights so that the Republic was born. He waited for the consolidation of the Republic. Then in the last decades he started to take over the Republic. And Anakin would help him to finish his plan. Anakin was emotionally ruined and also hungry for revenge and for power. And the Dark Force gave much much more power. Darth Sidious made a special mask for Anakin, so he could live again disconnected from the machines. The wounds were to heavy to heal them completely. Darth Vader was born.

Padmé gave birth to a son in a hospital on Naboo. His father was Anakin. She got pregnant just before the Republic army invaded Naboo. After that she never saw Anakin again. She never tried to inform Anakin that he had a son. She named her son Luke. There was also a Jedi in the hospital who carefully watched Padmé and especially her son.

Palpatine was alone in his office when Darth Sidious and Darth Vader secretly visited him. Palpatine was shocked. He was told who Darth Vader really was. Darth Vader would, as Anakin before, lead the Republic army and help Palpatine establish a powerful Republic. The drawback for Palpatine was that he was not in command anymore. Officially yes, but secretly he would be under the command of Darth Sidious. He didn't like it, but he was wise enough to see that he had no chance opposing Darth Sidious. And also the extreme power of Darth Sidious attracted him. Darth Sidious plan was that in the next years he would slowly and secretly transform the Republic into an Empire and he would become the Emperor. The emperor of the greatest empire of all time in the galaxy.

The Jedis were in confusion. There was a meeting by Yoda of all the High Jedi Masters including Obi-Wan Kenobi. Palpatine just publicly renounced that Anakin was saved and that he came back as Darth Vader. He didn't mention a word about Darth Sidious. But the Jedis could feel the Dark Side of the Force in Darth Vader and the influence of the powerful Darth Sidious behind him. Also Palpatine was preparing the vote in parliament to outlaw the Jedis. They knew he would succeed. They had lost completely and there was nothing they could do about it. They made an emergency plan. They would leave Coruscant and disperse through the whole galaxy and hide for a while. Obi-Wan Kenobi got an important mission to fulfill. He had to kidnap Padmés son before the Dark side would find him and hide him very thoroughly. Luke was their only hope. The Force was very powerful with Luke, maybe even more powerful then it was with his father Anakin, when he was a boy.

The parliament voted with absolute majority to outlaw the Jedis, after Palpatine presented evidence that the Jedis were behind the attempt on Anakins life. Palpatine was pleased. Darth Vader started to hunt down the Jedis.

Darth Vather killed in a spectacular fight one of the three Jedis that tried to kill him. Then he went after the other two. Some Jedis were killed by storm troopers or in spaceships. The Dark side of the Force weakened the Force of the Jedis and it also located them in the galaxy. Slowly the Jedis were killed one by one.

Obi-Wan Kenobi hid for a while to prepare the plan for kidnapping Luke. He knew that Darth Vather was hunting down the Jedis. So he had to be very carefully. He came secretly to Naboo with two other Jedis. He met Padmé in her room with Luke. He explained to her why he came. She was shocked, she didn't want to leave Luke. She tried to convince Obi-Wan that Darth Vather would never found out that Luke was his son, so there was no need to hide him. But even she didn't believe that. Then she tried to convince Obi-Wan that she would accompany Luke. But Obi-Wan didn't allowed that. It was to risky. He already destroyed all the records and evidence on Naboo that Luke was born. Padmé had to stay on Naboo so there would be no suspicion. Still Padmé didn't want to leave Luke.

Darth Vather stepped into the room. It was a trap. He knew all along that he had a son. He just waited for Obi-Wan to appear. The spectacular fight between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vather started. It was a long and heavy fight. Darth Vather was stronger, but Obi-Wan had nothing to lose, so he fought as a wounded tiger driven in a corner. Obi-Wan lost the fight. When Darth Vather wanted to kill him Padmé stepped between them. She tried to wake the love in Anakin that he had for her. She talked to him, pleaded for the lives of Obi-Wan and Luke. Anakin had still some feelings left for her and for a moment he was lost. But then Darth Vather took over. When Padmé embraced Anakin, he killed her with his lightsaber.

Obi-Wan Kenobi was gone. He used the confusion of Darth Vather to escape with Luke. Luke was more important than Padmés or his life. He run with the child outside. The two Jedis that came with him were dead. The storm troopers waited for him outside. He started to run. Darth Vather and the storm troopers hunted him. It was a spectacular and long lasting chase through the main city of Naboo. At the end Obi-Wan escaped with Luke in his spaceship. He also escaped the starcruisers around Naboo. His first emergency stop was at a secret rebellion station not far from Naboo. There he would hide for a while to prepare the transport to the hiding place.

Darth Vather was summoned by Darth Sidious. Darth Sidious was satisfied. Almost everything went by plan. All the Jedis were eliminated. Almost all the Jedis. Only Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi with Luke escaped. Yoda was strong enough to shield himself from the Dark Force, so Darth Sidious couldn't locate him. Obi-Wan wasn't strong enough to do that, so he used the strong Force of Luke to shield them both. But that should not be a problem, thought Darth Sidious. Soon he would be the Emperor of his Empire and nobody could take that away from him.

Planet Tatooine. Obi-Wan Kenobi secretly arrived on the planet with Luke. He left Luke with the husband of Anakins mother on a small farm in the desert. To the family he explained the importance of hiding Luke and the importance of not telling him the true about his life. Obi-Wan also said to them that he would be near in the desert to protect Luke and them from the Dark side of the Force and his name from that moment on would be Ben Kenobi. At sunset Ben Kenobi slowly walked into the desert.

The second edition.

EPISODE VI: THE BATTLE OF CORUSCANT

A small Imperial spaceship was intercepted by the Imperial starcruiser above planet Tatooine. They exchanged the secret Imperial codes. Aboard the small spaceship were heavy armed special Imperial troopers. They told the starcruiser that they had a special secret mission on Tatooine. The codes were good so the starcruiser allowed the spaceship to land on Tatooine. The spaceship landed in the desert near the fortress of Jabba Hutt. The special Imperial troopers attacked the fortress. They rescued Han Solo who was still frozen. During the attack they devastated the fortress and massacred Jabba Hutts troops, but they left on purpose Jabba Hut and his closest commanders alive. They brought the frozen Han Solo on board the spaceship and left. When they were in deep space, the Imperial troopers took their helmets off. One of them was Lando Calrissian and one of the pilots was Chewbacca . They were happy that their plan succeeded.

The secret rebellion space station - their headquarters. Han Solo was in the regeneration liquid. He was still unconsciousness. Princess Leia Organa with C-3PO watched over him. She was very concerned about Han.

The home planet of Yoda. Luke Skywalker brought Yoda back to his home planet. R2-D2 was with them. Yoda was very happy. He never thought that he would see his home planet again. During the voyage Yoda explained the history of the Jedi knights and specially the last decades to Luke. Yoda said to Luke that he can sense that Luke became part of the Dark side of the Force. That he wasn't strong enough to resist the temptation of the Dark Force. But there was also something strange about him. Luke answered that the truth is somewhat different. He was not part of the Dark Force, but the Dark Force was part of him. He was in control of the Dark Force. He was above the Force and above the Dark Force. He still couldn't understand it completely. Then Yoda told Luke that he should be very careful with this new powers, which are very strange. Then he told that he would die soon. He already lived very long, longer than his people lived. The Force helped him with that. But now he could feel that the old times, the old Forces were slipping away. Something completely new was waiting in the future. He as a part of the old forces had to die.

Princess Leia Organa was in a hurry. She almost ran through the corridors of the rebellion station. She came to the hospital. Han Solo was awake after he slept for several days. He was sitting on his bed. Leia hugged him. That night they slept together for the first time. Afterwards they laid in bed and had a small talk. But then Han asked what will the rebellion do next. Leia answered him, that they will attack Coruscant. Han was chocked. Coruscant was the capital of the Empire, the most powerful and guarded fortress ever. He thought the rebels had lost their mind.

The main strategic room at the rebellion headquarters. It was a spectacular high-tech room with the 3D map of the whole Empire and several other multi-dimensional strategic maps. All high commanders of the rebellion force were there together with Leia, Luke, Han, C-3PO, R2-D2, Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian. They were discussing the details of the attack on Coruscant. The main plan was that Luke would get in contact with Darth Vader. He would accept Vaders plan that both of them were strong enough to destroy Darth Sidious on Coruscant and then together rule the Empire. Luke would have no problems with that, because Vader would sense that Luke was already part of the Dark side of the Force. Then Luke would kill Vader and take over the Empire. He would not immediately dissolve the Empire but become the next Emperor. Then in the next years he would slowly change the Empire back into the Republic. This was the only way to prevent that the galaxy would fall into chaos. Because without the Jedis and after decades of Imperial oppression there was no way to immediately establish a stable and strong Republic.

There was a problem with this plan. If Luke succeeded in becoming the next Emperor he still wouldn't control the powerful Imperial army. There were a lot of powerful officers in the Imperial army who would not accept Luke as their new Emperor and they would probably rebel. To prevent that, the rebells had to weaken the Imperial army and eliminate the most dangerous officers, so that Luke could take control over the Imperial army. Luckily Darth Sidious didn't trust Darth Vader. So he had his elite Imperial force, which was under his direct command. Darth Vader had no control over it. This elite Imperial force was located on and around Coruscant to protect Darth Sidous. Luke would suggest to Darth Vader the following plan: If Luke and Vader wanted to rule the galaxy they had to destroy also the elite Imperial Force. Destroying Darth Sidious wouldn't be enough. Darth Vader would allow the rebellion force to come close to Coruscant. Then the rebellion force would attack Coruscant. They can not win, but the battle would weaken heavily the rebellion force and the elite Imperial army. Then Darth Vaders Imperial army would attack and eliminate the rebellion and the elite Imperial forces. Luke would convince Darth Vader that he convinced the rebells that he would kill him after they both destroyed Darth Sidious and then he would take control over Vaders Imperial army which would help the rebells attacking Coruscant. Based on that logic the rebels would be willing to attack Coruscant. But in truth the rebels would in the next days secretly eliminate the most important officers of Darth Vaders Imperial army, so Luke would have no problem taking over the Imperial army after he killed Vader. Han, Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian had the task of eliminating the officers. They were smugglers and had a lot of criminal underground contacts. And after the attack of the Imperial force on Jabba Hutt the whole criminal underground was angry and afraid of the Imperial army. They would be happy to help the rebels to eliminate the Imperial officers.

This was Lukes plan. Not everybody was happy about the plan. It was to complicated and it was a double - double game.  They didn't trust Luke to much, because he could easily betray them. The risk was high. But it was their only choice to win this war.

Luke arrived with his fighter to the main starcruiser of Darth Vader. R2-D2 was with him. He would be Lukes communication link with the rebel forces and R2-D2 was given also the task to oversee Luke. They were accompanied by the Imperial fighters. Darth Vader waited for him on the main deck. Luke arrived. Vader was satisfied that Luke accepted his plan to destroy Darth Sidious and to rule together the galaxy.

Han Solo, Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian were with the Milenium Falcom on their mission. The Imperial officers were several times on leave. At such times they visited bars and also brothels. Han, Chewbacca and Lando got the informations about when and where the officers were on leave and then assassinated them in an non suspicious way.

Several days later in the rebellion headquarters. Leia Organa was in consultation with the other rebel commanders. Darth Vader Imperial forces were shifting to the designated positions. The path to Coruscant for the rebel forces was open.

Han and Lando had a problem. They couldn't get to the most loyal and powerful of Vaders officer. He was all the time in his headquarters on his starcruiser and he was very good guarded. It seemed that, from the moment that Luke got in contact with Darth Vader, Vader wanted to protect his most loyal officer. Possible for preventive reasons. If Luke tried to kill Vader and if he succeeded in this then he still would not be able to take over Vaders Imperial force. His most loyal officer would take command of the force and probably attack the rebels and Luke. Lando told Han that they hired Boba Fett to kill the officer. The rebels paid him well for the mission. Han was pissed of, he felt like he was betrayed the second time.

Boba Fett succeeded in his spectacular mission. He got to the officer unobtrusively, killed him masterly and disappeared.

Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker arrived on Coruscant. At that moment the rebels attacked the Imperial forces of Darth Sidious. It was a spectacular space battle. Darth Sidious received Vader and Luke. He knew why they came to him. He knew they wanted to destroy him. He knew Vader betrayed him and let the rebels to attack Coruscant. His Dark Force was powerful and he had his net of informers. Darth Vader attacked him with his lightsaber. Darth Sidious attacked Vader with his powerful Force. Luke attacked Darth Sidious with his Force. There was a spectacular fight. Meantime there was a spectacular battle in space around Coruscant. After a long and heavy fight, Darth Vader with the help of Luke killed and destroyed Darth Sidious with his lightsaber. At the moment that Darth Sidious was destroyed there was a shock wave through the Force through the whole galaxy.

Then Luke took his lightsaber and attacked Darth Vader. There was a spectacular fight between Luke and Vader. The space battle around Coruscant became devastative. The rebels got the information from R2-D2 that the Emperor was destroyed and that Luke fought Vader. They attacked with all their resources. After a very long and spectacular fight between Luke and Vader, Luke won the fight. He was the more powerful one. He killed Darth Vader.

Luke proclaimed himself as the new Emperor of the Empire. He took control over the Imperial Palace on Coruscant. He also succeeded in taking control over the Dart Vaders Imperial forces. Han, Lando and Chewbacca did an excellent work. As it was expected Darth Sidious Imperial forces didn't accept Luke as the new Emperor. They attacked the Imperial Palace on Coruscant. Darth Vaders Imperial forces came to Coruscant and attacked the Imperial forces of Darth Sidious. The space battle was ferocious. The rebels special units landed near the Imperial Palace to help Luke to defend the palace. The Imperial forces of Darth Sidious were destroyed. It was a great victory for the rebels. Princess Leia Organa with some rebel commanders landed heavy guarded on Coruscant. They came to the palace to recognize Luke as the new Emperor.

Several months later. It was the first session of the new Imperial Senate. Princess Leia Organa had a speech. Afterwards she was elected as the Supreme Chancellor. She became the second most powerful person in the Empire after the Emperor. C-3PO was her assistant. This day was the beginning of the end of the Empire and the beginning of the new Republic.

Emperor Luke was that day on his main Imperial starcruiser somewhere in the galaxy. R2-D2 was with him. He spent a lot of time on his starcruiser checking the Imperial troops and strengthening his control over them. He replaced several Imperial officers with former rebel officers. Imperial army was still one of the greatest army the Galaxy ever saw. It was frightening powerful. Much to powerful thought Luke. He was glad that Leia was elected, but at the same time he was worried about the future. The future was very clouded and uncertain.

Han Solo and Leia Organa were in her rooms. Han was leaving. He was a smuggler and an adventurer. He couldn't live a n ordinary family life with Leia. It was a strange and uncomfortable world for him. Leia knew that, so she didn't persuade him to stay. Lando Calrissian became an important person in the Imperial Administration, so the Millenium Falcon was completely his again. Chewbacca was already waiting for Han at the spaceport. It was a sad farewell. Han and Chewbacca went in their Millenium Falcon away from Leia and Coruscant into deep space. Their first aim was to find Boba Fett. Han had some unfinished business with him.

The End of Episode VI

EPISODE VII: KAMINO

Planet Kamino. The large orbital station was destroyed. The facilities on sea were destroyed. Everything was devastated. Boba Fett was walking through the main facility on sea and observing. After a while he returned to his spaceship. He flew away from the planet. Han Solo and Chewbacca were waiting for him in their Millenium Falcon. They attacked Boba Fett. There was a spectacular chase through space. Boba escaped into hyperspace. Han went after him. They appeared near a large Imperial stronghold. Han tried to attack Boba. But the Imperial fighters didn't allow it. Boba had an important information for the Empire and he was allowed an admittance by the local Imperial commander. Han was pissed off. Boba landed on the main Imperial starcruiser. Han asked for permission to land. When he got the permission he also landed. When he stepped out of his spaceship he wanted to attack Boba who was also out of his spaceship. But the Imperial troopers didn't allow it. Boba went to the commander. Han had to wait on the landing place.

Boba Fett told the Imperial commander that Kamino was attacked and destroyed. The Imperial commander couldn't believe it. Kamino was not the only place anymore where the arms for the Imperial army were build, but still it was a very important planet for the Imperial army. It had a very strong defense. And only a large and strong army could destroy it. And there was no sign of such a army in that sector of the galaxy. The commander decided to send two heavy armed starcruisers to Kamino to investigate it. Boba had to wait in the stronghold until the starcruisers came back.

The Imperial commander went to the landing place to see Han Solo. He was a former rebel commander and knew Han personally. He told Han that he wouldn't be allowed to attack Boba until Boba was in the Imperial stronghold. But when Boba would leave it then the commander wished Han good hunt. The commander told Han about Kamino. Han also wanted to go to Kamino to investigate it. The commander allowed him to go with the starcruisers to Kamino and he promised that he would keep Boba in the stronghold until Han returned.

Two starcruisers and Millenium Falcon went to Kamino. Near Kamino they were attacked by a powerful enemy force. It was a spectacular and heavy battle. The Imperial army lost it. The starcruisers were destroyed. The Millenium Falcon was damaged but Han escaped the battle and landed on the sea of Kamino. But the ship was damaged and Han and  Chewbacca couldn't fly away. They were floating on the sea in their damaged space ship.

The main Imperial army headquarters on Coruscant. Emperor Luke, Supreme Chancellor Leia Organa, several other high Imperial commanders and important politicians were present. It was a spectacular high-tech room with the 3D map of the whole Empire and several other multi-dimensional strategic maps. The enemy forces made already several powerful strikes into the Empire. They used the guerrilla tactic. Kamino was the first but not the only planet that was attacked. After the attack the enemy forces always disappeared without a trace. And only the planets at one section of the border of the galaxy were attacked. One idea was to send reinforcement to that part of the galaxy. But that could be the aim of this attacks so the enemy forces could strike somewhere else. All the Imperial troops through the whole galaxy were put on alert. Supreme Chancellor Leia Organa decided to visit some of the attacked planets to bring help and hope to the people.

Millenium Falcon was tied to one of the facilities on the sea of Kamino. Han and Chewbacca were trying to repair it. It was difficult because they couldn't find useful spare parts. A spaceship landed near them. Lando Calrissian came from it. He didn't believe Han was killed in the battle so he went looking for him and found him on Kamino. He helped Han repairing the Millenium Falcon.

Leia Organa landed on one of the attacked planets. C-3PO and R2-D2 were with her. With the local authorities she visited the damaged cities. Suddenly her escort that stayed in orbit informed her that they were under attack. The enemy forces attacked again. This time they didn't used the guerrilla tactics. It was a massive frontal attack on the Empire. The enemy forces advanced deep into the Empire. Leia and the local authorities soon lost all communication. The planet was left alone behind enemy lines. Leia and the local authorities were hiding, but the enemy forces didn't land on the planet.

Han, Chewbacca and Lando left Kamino in their spaceships. They went back to the Empire. But soon they found out that they had no communication with the Empire and that they were deep behind enemy lines. Then they caught the distress signal from Leia. They landed on the planet and found her. Leia was very happy to see Han again, especially while she thought that he was dead.

The main Imperial army headquarters on Coruscant. Luke and the Imperial commanders were alarmed about the run of events. The enemy force was very powerful and the Imperial army was taken by surprise with the huge frontal attack. They also got a holographic message from the commander of the enemy force. It was the former Imperial officer of  Darth Vaders Imperial forces. It was the officer that was killed by Boba Fett, or that everybody until that moment thought was killed by Boba Fett. The message was simple. The enemy commander was still loyal to Darth Vader. He didn't accept Luke as the new Emperor and his aim was to take over the Empire or at least to kill Luke. Luke ordered his men to find and to bring to him urgently Boba Fett.

Han, Leia, Chewbacca, Lando, C-3PO and R2-D2 left the planet in the Millenium Falcon. They tried to reach the Empire Forces. They were behind the enemy lines, so they decided that they would go the opposite way. They would go away from the battle line to the boundary of the Galaxy. They would go outside the galaxy and around it until they would come to the part of the galaxy that was still under the control of the Imperial forces. There they would go back into the galaxy.

Boba Fett was in front of Luke and some other Imperial commanders and politicians. They interrogated him about his failed assassination of the Imperial officer who was now the commander of the enemy force. Boba answered that he was quit sure he killed the officer and that he was also surprised by the fact that the officer was alive. Luke and the others didn't believe Boba. Then Boba said, that he had a very important information for the Empire, but that the price for the information was very high. The Imperial commanders and politicians where chocked by the arrogance of Boba Fett. Who was he, that he could try to sell some vital information to the Emperor and even negotiate about the price. But Luke accepted the offer calmly. He made a deal with Boba. Boba Fett told them that he knew where and when the enemy forces would strike next. As he was speaking the enemy forces were already secretly withdrawing from the battle line, to strike on another place where the Imperial forces were weak, while a lot of the Imperial forces were moved to the battle line. The enemy would put all their forces in this second attack to break the Imperial forces and to penetrate to the center of the Empire, to Coruscant. Boba Fett told them where and when the enemy forces would come from hyperspace for the attack.

The Millenium Falcon was outside the galaxy. More than it was necessary, but Han wanted to show-off. The view was spectacular. During the voyage R2-D2 intercepted a strange signal. It was coming from somewhere far away from the galaxy and it was pointed to sector of the galaxy where the battle was going on.

Emperor Luke was in his main starcruiser. With the other Imperial commanders they were preparing the trap. The first part of Boba Fetts information was correct. The pressure of the enemy forces at the battle line lessened. Now Luke was hoping the second part would be also correct. A lot of Imperial forces were around the place where the Enemy forces would come from hyperspace. That meant that other sectors of the Empire were vulnerable. The risk was high. Supreme Chancellor Leia Organa joined them in the commanding center. Han, Lando, Chewbacca, C-3PO and R2-D2 were also present As observers. They just arrived and mediated the information about the strange signal. They were all very nervous. Then the enemy forces started to appear from hyperspace. Boba Fett didn't lied. The Imperial forces attacked with all power. There was a spectacular space battle. The enemy forces were very powerful. But after a long battle the Imperial forces caused heavy losses on the enemy. The enemy forces withdraw.

The Imperial forces won this battle. Luke and Leia were standing alone on the main deck of the starcruiser. They were staring at the outside view. Luke told her that there was something strange going on because he couldn't sense the enemy forces and Boba Fett with the Force. Like something shielded them from the Force.

The End of Episode VII

EPISODE VIII: BOBA FETT

A large gas giant in the system of Kamino. There was a large battle going on between the Imperial army and the enemy. The battle was very spectacular. The Imperial army won the battle. The enemy had withdraw from the Kamino system and from the galaxy. Emperors Luke main starcruiser with his escort appeared in the system. Luke wanted to oversee personally the last battle against the enemy. He was satisfied. The whole galaxy was again under the control of the Imperial forces. But now was the question if they should pursue the enemy outside the galaxy. Luke was in favor of it, but the Imperial Senate would decide about it.

Emperor Luke, Supreme Chancellor Leia Organa, some Imperial commanders and senators had a consultation on Coruscant about the pursuit of the enemy outside the galaxy. The Imperial commanders were in favor of it. But the senators were mostly against it. For them it was enough that the Imperial army withdraw the enemy outside the galaxy and also the enemy was almost completely destroyed so there was no danger in the near future. They suggested the Imperial army should instead strengthen the protection of the boundaries of the Empire. Leia was strongly in favor of the pursuit outside the galaxy. They had to be sure what danger exists outside the galaxy. After a long debate they decided that the Imperial Senate should vote about it. Leia said that she would do anything to convince the senators to vote for the pursuit. She would go even so far that she would resign as Supreme Chancellor if she would not succeed with the vote.

After the consultation Luke and Leia were discussing it. Luke said that he understood the senators. The Imperial army was very powerful, much more powerful than most senators thought it was. And in the last war against the enemy they saw how powerful really the Imperial army was. And they were afraid of it. They wanted to have it under their control here in the galaxy and not somewhere outside in pursuit of the enemy. So probably the Imperial Senate would vote against the pursuit.

The Imperial Senate voted with a small majority against the pursuit. But they decided that they would establish a commission which would thoroughly analyze the situation and would make recommendations about what the Empire should do with the enemy. Leia had a speech with which she resigned as Supreme Chancellor.

Luke visited Leia in her rooms as she was packing and preparing to leave. She told Luke that she would try to find Han and she would try to convince him to go outside the galaxy to explore secretly the enemy base. Lando would help her with that. Luke tried to convince her not to go and to wait for the decision of the Senate commission. But Leia was convinced that the commission would be in session for ever and never make a decision. She was very angry and stubborn. She leaved with C-3PO and R2-D2.

Leia and Lando found Han on a smuggler planet in a suspicious bar. When Leia told Han her idea he laughed at her. He would never cooperate in such a suicidal mission. But then Leia told him that she and especially Lando had a lot of money prepared to invest into the Millenium Falcon for this mission. With that money they could modernize Millenium Falcon with the newest high-tech equipment and especially with the newest weapons. And still there would be some money left for Han. Han was convinced.

In the next weeks they modernized Millenium Falcon. It took a lot of money, but Lando had his resources. During this time Han and Leia became again lovers.

Then finally one day they leaved. First they had to pass unnoticed the Imperial forces that were protecting the borders of the galaxy. With difficult and complex manoeuvres they succeeded. Outside the galaxy they started slowly to jump to the coordinate of the possible enemy base. They didn't go directly to that point but slightly away from it. Suddenly after one hyper jump they detected a small station in front of them. It couldn't be the enemy base, because it was to small. At that moment they were attacked by an enemy fighter. There was a spectacular fight. Soon two other fighters attacked them. After a long chase and battle they destroyed the enemy fighters. Then they went to the space station. There were no more enemy fighters. The station looked deserted. They decided to go on the station.

On the station they were attacked by two enemy soldiers. There was a fight in the corridors of the station with laser guns. The two enemy soldiers were killed. They explored the station. They found out that this was one of several enemy outposts between the galaxy and the enemy base. They sent all the information that they got back to the Empire. Lando arranged a communication link with his friends on Coruscant, so that the Empire would have all the informations they got in case they would not return to the Empire. They stayed several days on the station excepting the attack of the enemy. They were sure the enemy knew they were on the station. But no one attacked them.

They went slowly to the main base with small hyper jumps. After each jump they thoroughly examined their surrounding. There was no sign of the enemy army. After the last jump they came in the vicinity of the main base. First they thought they miscalculated and jumped to close to the main base, but then they confirmed that the distance was right, but that the main base was so huge. It was a gigantic intergalactic space station. The death star would be just a small asteroid circling around the space station. It was a spectacular view. They started to examine it from that distance and they sent all the information back to the Empire. Then they started to quarrel if they should go any closer. From this distance they couldn't detect any motion or any spaceships around the station. It looked deserted. At that moment appeared a huge Empire army around them. Also the Emperors main star cruiser appeared.

They joined Luke on the main deck of the Emperors main star cruiser. Luke explained them that the Senators changed their mind and that they voted once again about the pursuit and this time the majority was in favor of the pursuit. Leias resign and some political diplomacy helped the vote. Landos friends gave the Imperial army all the information that they got, so the Imperial army could prepare well and also they knew the exact location of the outposts and the main enemy station. So now they were here in the vicinity of the enemy base. The station was deserted, but Luke told them that he could sense one person on the station. He decided to go alone on the station to visit that person.

Luke walked through the corridors of the station. He knew exactly where to go. He came to the main control room. There he found Boba Fett. Luke wasn't surprised. He took his lightsaber. Boba also had a lightsaber. He was very anxious to fight against Luke, to fight against the Jedi who killed Darth Vader and destroyed Darth Sidious. They began to fight. It was a spectacular and long lasting duel.

During the battle Boba explained to Luke the whole situation. Boba Fett like his father Jango Fett were also Jedis or like Luke something more than Jedis. The Force was a manifestation of the Consciousness of the galaxy. Some thousands years ago the Consciousness was born from the billions and billions of consciousnesses of all the beings in the galaxy. First it was as a child completely lost. Then in the next thousands years it learned how to deal with itself and its surrounding and it grew more and more powerful. In the last turbulent decades the Consciousness grew up. Now it was an adult, fully aware of its powers. And now it wanted to explore the space around its galaxy, it wanted to spread to other galaxies, make contacts with other Consciousnesses like it's own. But the only way it could do that was through Consciousness beings. They had to go to other galaxies and populate them. But in the galaxy there was no interest to explore other galaxies. The galaxy was huge and, for the beings who lived in it, there was enough space and also other galaxies were very very far away. So the Consciousness had to provoke the conquest of other galaxies. It chose some Jedis and trained them in a specific way. With their help it built the large Intergalactic station and a large and powerful army. Boba didn't kill the Imperial officer who was now in command of the enemy army. But he made an arrangement with him. He told him, that Darth Vader already lost the war, and that the best way to revenge Darth Vader was to play his own assassination and to go to this Intergalactic station and to take command of the already prepared powerful army. Then when the time would be right he could attack Luke, kill him, take over Coruscant and the Empire and become the new Emperor. The Consciousness had the following plan: the Empire would be attacked from outside the galaxy. Then the Empire would strike back and it's army would for the first time go outside the galaxy. That would provoke the curiosity and it would also show that there is something outside the galaxy worth to conquer. That would provoke the Empire to start the conquest of other galaxies.

Luke and Boba ended the fight. Nobody could win, they were equal. And there was also no reason left for them to fight. Luke didn't approve the whole plan of the Consciousness. It was a bloody plan, with lot of wars, destruction, suffering and dead. But Boba told him that that was the way of evolution of nature.

Several days later Luke and Leia were in a large room on the Intergalactic station. The view from the window on the galaxy was magnificent. Luke didn't told anybody else about the things Boba told him. He just told the others that Boba was another secret Jedi helping them secretly all the time. Luke and Leia were discussing the enemy army. The enemy army left the station before they came. They escaped to the nearest galaxy, where the enemy army had its training camp. It was a large and powerful training camp where the enemy army trained and simulated their attack on the Empire. It would be very difficult for the Empire to attack the enemy there and to destroy it. But they had to do it.

The End of Episode VIII

EPISODE IX: CORUSCANT II

Boba Fett arrived to Coruscant in his spaceship. He got through several military controls of the enemy army. This planet was not exactly Coruscant. It was a copy of it. And only on one part of the planet the exact copy of the city was rebuilt. The planet was the center of the training camp of the enemy army in the other galaxy. It was used for the simulation and training of the attack of the enemy army on Coruscant. Now the headquarters of the enemy army were stationed here and it was heavy defended. He landed on the planet near the Emperors Palace. A heavy armed guard waited for him on the landing place. They escorted him to the Emperors Palace. Boba could see that the place was very heavy guarded. They were prepared for the attack of the Empire forces.

Han was watching through his binoculars the arrival of Boba Fett. He was hidden in a building near the landing place. Leia and Chewbacca were with him. They were in special military outfits. Han reported what he saw to Lando, who was stationed in a secret place in this city. R2-D2 was with him. He was connected to the informational infrastructure of the city. C-3PO was the translator betwen R2-D2 and Lando. Several special Imperial units were already infiltrated in the city. They were preparing the attack of the main forces.

After a long walk through the Palace Boba came to the main Emperors room. He came to visit the commander of the enemy forces. But the room was empty, only Darth Vader sat on the Emperors throne. The guard stayed outside the room and as soon as Boba stepped into the room the doors were closed and the whole room was hermetically sealed. There was no escape for him. Then Darth Vader started to speak. But it was the commander of the enemy army that spoke through Darth Vader. Darth Vader was an android used only for training purposes. The commander told Boba that he knew that Boba betrayed him to the Empire and that he was secretly a Jedi. The commander had also his spies in the Empire army. He knew that Boba came here to this meeting to kill him. The commander was in a secret room behind the throne. He had to be there so Boba could sense with the Force that the commander was in the Palace. But the Force in this galaxy was still to weak for Boba to sense the trap that the commander prepared for him. The commander slowly leaved his place as he talked. He was leaving for his headquarters. He had no intentions to kill Boba. He knew how difficult it was to kill a Jedi, even if he was trapped in a closed room. He just wanted to show his superiority to Boba, he wanted to show him that he was capable of catching the famous Boba Fett. Soon or later the Imperial forces would invade the Palace and then they would liberate Boba. That would be an embarrassment for Boba. The Imperial troops had to liberate Boba, who was helplessly caught in a room. The commander knew that he can not resist the Imperial forces. They would win this battle and kill him in the end. But the aim of the commander was to cause enormous losses to the Empire forces, so that even when they would win at the end it would be a black day for them. Boba was very angry, he destroyed the Darth Vaders android with his laser gun.

The Emperors main starcruiser. Luke and his officers were in the strategic room. It was a spectacular high-tech room with the 3D map of this part of the galaxy and several other multi-dimensional strategic maps. They knew the exact locations of the enemy army. Almost all the enemy troops were located on the planet which was the simulation of Coruscant. There were some other enemy outposts in this part of the galaxy but the Imperial army was successfully eliminating them. Luke and his officers were very worried about attacking Coruscant-simulation. It was a heavy military fortress. The losses would be very high invading this planet and overtaking it. They hoped Boba Fetts plan to eliminate the enemy commander would work.

Han lost the signal from Boba Fett. He communicated it to Lando. R2-D2 was surveying the area around the Palace for any movement. After a while R2-D2 detected a movement. Someone was going from the Palace. Lando was satisfied, Bobas plan worked. The Imperial intelligence service arranged that the Commander of the enemy army got through his spies the information that Boba betrayed him. They hoped that the commander would prepare a trap for Boba. For the trap to work the commander had to be in the Palace. After confronting Boba Fett the commander would go to his headquarters. The special Imperial units had just to survey the surrounding of the Palace for any movement. When they would detect the movement they would suppose it was the commander going to the headquarters. They had to follow the movement and locate the headquarters. Then they would attack and destroy the headquarters and kill the commander. After that the invasion on Coruscant would be much easier. Lando sent Han, Chewbacca and Leia after the movement. Several special Imperial units were sent after Han and Leia for backup.

In space around Coruscant spectacular battles were raging. The Imperial forces were destroying the enemy outposts one by one. Finally they came to Coruscant. The battle around Coruscant began.

Han, Chewbacca and Leia were following the movement deeper and deeper into the city. Until now they were lucky, the enemy didn't detect them. Also the special Imperial units were progressing undetected.

Special Imperial units were attacking the Palace to free Boba Fett. This attack was just a diversion to draw away the attention from Han.

Luke and his officers in the strategic room on the main Emperors starcruiser were surveying the battle. Until now everything went by plan. They also made some victories in space above Coruscant. They decided that a limited invasion on Coruscant could start, mostly to draw away the attention from Han and Leia. It was a spectacular invasion. The special Imperial forces landed on Coruscant under a heavy enemy fire. Then they started to progress slowly into the city. The enemy was very strong and soon the progress was slowed down. The fight in the city was deadly spectacular.

The commander came to his headquarters. There a officer told him, that they detected some strange anomalies in the informational network around the Palace. The commander inspected the anomalies then he understood everything. He felt into Bobas trap. He started to give orders to his forces. He was very upset and angry.

Han, Chewbacca and Leia were satisfied, they found the headquarters. Lando was also satisfied. Then the enemy forces attacked with full power Landos hidden place. He had no chance. The enemy destroyed everything. Lando was killed. R2-D2 and C-3PO were heavy damaged. Han and Leia were shocked. Also other special Imperial units were under attack. Han, Chewbacca and Leia hid themselves deeper into the city. Luckily the enemy didn't find them yet.

Luke and his officers lost contact with Lando and his group Imperial specials. They knew the group was under attack and probably lost. Their plan failed. But at least they knew the location of the enemy headquarters. They got the information from Lando before he got killed. They had no other choice than to start the full assault on Coruscant. The losses would be very high.

The Imperial star cruisers and fighters attacked with full power the enemy positions around Coruscant. Imperial forces started to land on the whole area of the city. The defense was very heavy. Whole Coruscant changed into a large spectacular battlefield. The imperial forces were progressing very slowly. On some places they had even to retreat.

Han, Chewbacca and Leia were hiding in their secret place. They were lucky, the enemy didn't detect them. They went slowly to the enemy headquarters. It was a little bit easier now under the full attack of the Empire forces. They had to eliminate several enemy soldiers and defense systems. They broke into the headquarters and attacked the enemy officers with laser guns and grenades. After a short fight they overtook the headquarters. Han succeeded in killing the commander of the enemy forces. Han, Chewbacca and Leia barricaded themselves in the headquarters. The enemy soldiers outside the headquarters already started to attack the headquarters. Han and Leia sent a message to the Imperial troops. Then they destroyed the communication system as it was planned by Boba.

With the communication system heavy damaged and without the command from the headquarters the enemy troops were disoriented. They were an easy prey for the Imperial forces. Soon the Imperial forces destroyed the enemy. Luke and his officers were satisfied. They won the battle and destroyed the enemy without heavy losses. Luke was specially glad that Han and Leia were still alive.

Luke and Boba were alone in the main room of the intergalactic station. They were discussing the future. This intergalactic station would become the main training center for the future Jedis. Boba Fett would lead them. From this station the Jedis would spread to other galaxies. The Jedis would lead the expansion of the Empire. Soon there will be also other intergalactic stations, but this one would remain the main Jedi training center. There would be no Jedis in the original galaxy. There would be no need for them now that the galaxy Consciousness was fully aware. Luke would be the last Jedi in the galaxy. After him there would be another emperor, who would not be a Jedi.

Luke visited Han, Chewbacca and Leia at one of the landing places on the intergalactic station. It was now several months after the battle of Coruscant. The wounds were healed. C-3PO and R2-D2 were also repaired and they were also at the landing place. Luke came to say farewell to them. Han and Leia decided that they would go with the Millenium Falcon to the new galaxy to a new life and new adventures. They would take with them Chewbacca, C-3PO and R2-D2. They flew away.

Several decades later. Luke was an old man. He resigned as Emperor. A new young emperor took his place. The Empire was still there but with a lot of democracy as the famous Republic before. Luke visited planet Tatooine. It was a long time ago that he was here for the last time. He visited the farm where he lived. He visited his grandmothers grave. He remembered how everything started here on Tatooine some long time ago. For several years he didn't hear anything from his friends. Probably they were already dead, buried in a strange galaxy.

Luke then visited planet Naboo, his birthplace. He visited his mothers grave. He was very proud of his mother Padmé Naberrie Amidala. He was very sad that she had to dy so young. He imagined how a very long time ago Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived in their spaceship to planet Naboo. They started the events that brought decades of war and suffering, but also born something amazingly new and started a new expansion with new hope.

Luke was at his residence at a beautiful lake on Naboo. In this residence the romance between Padmé and Anakin started. Luke was writing a official chronology of the events of the past decades. He just finished. He hoped the future generations would remember this legendary period of great battles and wars between stars. He was looking over the lake and nostalgia came over him.

THE END

ALIEN VS. PREDATOR
A Predators spaceship arrived in orbit around Earth. It was invisible so the humans didn't detect it. It established a communication link with an ancient pyramid deep under the Ice on Antarctic. Then they fired an energy beam to that place, which made a large tunnel through the ice to the pyramid.

Weyland's Multinational Company's satellites detected anomalies in the Antarctic region where the ancient pyramid was. The anomaly appeared only for some seconds, so no other satellites detected it. In the headquarters of the Company specialist analyzed the anomaly with their high tech equipment. They found out that there was a large unknown structure under the ice of the Antarctic.

Charles Bishop Weyland was in his large and expensive office. He was a former special forces soldier. He was one of the best. After his retirement he established his company, which became one of the most powerful companies in the world. During this time he was also a very successful hunter. He hunted for wild animals in all parts of the world. Now he was bored. He achieved everything what a person could achieve. There was no challenge left for him. He reviewed the reports about the anomaly. He was enthusiastic about it. Finally again a challenge.

Bishop was in his large private helicopter. He arrived to his camp on the Antarctic. Formally it was just an ordinary research camp. His company had several such camps in different parts of the world. But in reality it was a high tech military camp. The companies best material and human resources were brought to this camp. His men already found the large tunnel through the ice. They analyzed it. It was recently made and with tools that did not exist on earth. Bishop was very excited.

The Predators on the spaceship sent a signal to the pyramid. Deep in the pyramid some ancient machines woke up. They were in control of a chained Queen Alien. The Queen Alien was in hibernation for a long time. The machines revived it. The Queen Alien started to make eggs. After she made several eggs the machines put her again in hibernation. The eggs were transported to a large room.

Bishop assembled his best men. They were equipped with high-tech instruments and fully armed. They went to the large tunnel. A group of man stayed outside the tunnel. Bishop and his special team went into the tunnel. It was a spectacular descent through the ice. They arrived at the end of the tunnel. Under the ice they found a spectacular large and ancient pyramid. They went into the pyramid. In the pyramid they lost the communication with the outside world.

A group of predators landed near the tunnel. They were invisible. They went into the tunnel.

Bishop and his team explored the pyramid. They came to the large room with the Alien eggs. They were excited discovering the eggs. In the room they discovered a small shaft. Bishop and some of his men went down the shaft. Beneath they found a labyrinth of corridors. They began to explore them.

The Predators came to the large room with the Alien eggs. They closed the room. The men inside the room were trapped. The Facehuggers appeared from the eggs and attacked the men in the room. The Predators detected Bishop and the other men beneath the room. They started to hunt them down.

The hunt was spectacular. The Predators caught and killed all Bishop's men. It was a child's game for the Predators. But Bishop escaped them. He used all his years of training and experience to hide from the Predators in the small corridors of the pyramid. The Predators were still hunting him but with less momentum. They were anxious for the beginning of  the real hunt. The hunting of the Aliens.

Bishop tried to escape from the pyramid. He came near the large room with the Alien eggs. Through a small rift he looked into the room to see what happened with his men. His men were consciousness and without the Facehuggers. They were still trapped in the room. Bishop didn't try to communicate with his men while he didn't want to betray his position to the Predators. Then the Aliens started to appear from the chests of the men. When all the aliens appeared the doors of the room were opened again. Bishop understood the situation. The Predators allured him and his men to this pyramid to be the hosts for this alien creatures. Then they would hunt the creatures. He was in the middle of a space safari.

The Predators were very excited now that the Aliens were born. The Predators could sense them. Bishop couldn't escape from the pyramid, while the Predators blocked the escape route. He crawled back deeper into the pyramid, waiting for the hunt to start.

The Aliens became large adult monsters. The Predators started the hunt. It was a spectacular wild hunt. It was a difficult hunt for the Predators, but still they succeeded in killing their prey. Bishop witnessed some very spectacular battles. He knew that the Predators would soon kill all the Aliens and then they would come after him, just to clean the mess. He had to find a way to save his life.

He went deeper beneath the pyramid. There he found the Queen Alien hibernating. He got an idea. He would free the Queen Alien. Then the Predators would be fully occupied with her and he would escape. He tried to work with the commands on the alien machines. But he had no luck. So he just put some explosive and destroyed the machines and the chains which locked the Queen Alien. The Queen Alien woke up. She was very pissed off. She liberate herself from the remnants of the chains. She could sense the presence of the Predators. She started to hunt them down.

It was a spectacular fight between the Queen Alien and the Predators. The Queen Alien was much more powerful, so the Predators were loosing. During the fight Bishop escaped from the pyramid and through the tunnel to the surface. During his escape the Predator spaceship killed his men, who were stationed before the tunnel, from space with an energy beam. When Bishop came to the surface he called his camp. He ordered that they send heavy armed military helicopters with heavy weapons to him. He would destroy the Queen Alien and then take all the rests of the Aliens and Predators to his Company to examine them. With this discovery his Company would become the most powerful company in the world.

The Queen Alien killed all the Predators. The helicopters were coming to the tunnel. The Predator spaceship destroyed them with the energy beam near the tunnel. They were destroyed before Bishop's eyes. He now knew that there was a Predator spaceship in orbit around Earth. They could also kill him, but they didn't. But they would destroy any help that would try to reach him. He understood. They wanted an individual battle between him and the Queen Alien. They wanted to see a good hunt. But he didn't knew who should be the prey in this case. The Predators had no chance against the Queen Alien, so how could he kill her. But he would give the Predators a good hunt. He would show them how to hunt wild animals. It would be the hunt of his life. All his life he was waiting for this.

Bishop took all the weapons that he could find around the tunnel and that would be useful against the Queen Alien. He had to make a plan. His advantage were his intelligence and years of training and experience in hunting. The Queen Alien was just a wild animal driven by her instincts. He went into the tunnel fully armed.

There was a long and spectacular battle between Bishop and the Queen Alien. Several times Bishop nearly escaped death. His tactics were very good and in the end he destroyed the Queen Alien. He was wounded and exhausted.

He came back to the surface. There the Predators spaceship waited for him. The Predators came from the ship. They gave him their ritual lance. They recognized him as a great hunter. They went away. From space they disintegrated the whole pyramid, so there was nothing left from the Predators and the Aliens. Bishop called his camp. There was a great confusion in the camp. But he told them not to worry it was just a good hunt.

THE END

THE POLAR EXPRESS
The hero boy was lying in bed on Christmas Eve. He wanted to stay awake so he could hear Santa Claus coming. He was in the years when he had the first doubts that Santa Claus really existed. So he wanted a prove - he wanted to see him. He heard strange noises in the house. He thought it was Santa Claus, so he went to check the living room. But it was only his father who went with his sister to the kitchen to get her a glass of milk. The hero boy was disappointed. He went back to bed and felt asleep. Five minutes to midnight he woke up. A large train stopped before his house. He went outside the house to see the train. The conductor of the train invited him on the train - the Polar Express which would go to the North Pole. The hero boy was at first afraid and he didn't wanted to go on the train but at the last moment he changed his mind and jumped on the train.

On the train there were a lot of other kids, who believed that they were going to see Santa Claus at the North Pole. He became friends with the hero girl and the know-it-all boy. The hero girl had an idealistic view of the world and she believed very much in Santa Claus. The know-it-all boy thought he was the smartest boy on the world and for him everything had a reasonable explanation. So he didn't believed in Santa Claus anymore and tried all the time to find evidence that Santa Claus didn't existed. At the next and also the last stop the conductor invited the lonely boy on the train. The lonely boy was very shy. He was coming from a poor family so he never got any presents for Christmas. For him there was no Christmas and no Santa Claus. The lonely boy was afraid so he didn't go on the train. The train started slowly. The kids on the train watched the lonely boy. Then lonely boy started to run to get on the train but he was to slow and he felt into the snow. The hero boy stopped the train with the emergency brake. The Conductor was very angry about that, because they were already late. But his anger went away when he heard the reason for the emergency brake. The lonely boy got on the train, but he didn't join the other kids. He went into the last empty wagon.

The waiters brought hot chocolate for the kids. Their service was very spectacular. The hero girl hid a cup of hot chocolate for the lonely boy. After the waiters went away she went to the last wagon to give the lonely boy the hot chocolate. It was not allowed for the kids to leave the wagon, because it was to dangerous. The conductor seized her, when she tried to open the door of the wagon. He was not angry, but he helped her to take the hot chocolate to the lonely boy. The hero boy saw that the hero girl forgot her ticket on her seat. He took the ticket and wanted to bring the ticket to her. But when he opened the door of the wagon the strong wind blew the ticket away. He tried to catch it, but it was to late. He was very sad about it. He was afraid that the hero girl could not continue the voyage without her ticket. He went back to his seat. Outside the train the wind blew the ticket away from the train and it fell on the snow. Then a pack of wolves that ran after the train rose the ticket in the air again. An eagle caught it there and it flew with it to his nest to feed it's young one. But the young eagle didn't like the taste of the ticket so it spit it out of the nest. The ticket fell on the snow and began to roll down the slope as a snowball until it reached the rails at the same moment as the train. Because of the train the snowball fell into pieces and the ticket was again in the air. At that moment the conductor and the hero girl went back to the kids and opened the door of the wagon. The ticket came back with them into the wagon.

When the hero girl sat down the conductor asked her for her ticket. She couldn't find it. Nobody saw that her ticket was back in the wagon but on a different place. Then the hero boy came to the conductor and explained that he loosed her ticket and that he was prepared to give her his ticket. But the conductor refused that. He took the hero girl to the last wagon. The know-it-all boy said that the conductor would throw the hero girl from the train, because she didn't have a ticket. Then the hero boy saw her ticket. He took it and together with the know-it-all boy they went to the last wagon. There the lonely boy told them, that the conductor and the hero girl went outside to the balcony. The two boys ran to the balcony, but there was nobody there. Then they saw a reflection of a light from the roof of the train. The hero boy climbed on the roof of the train. The know-it-all boy stayed behind, because it was to dangerous for him. On top of the train the hero boy saw in the distance the conductor and the hero girl as they were going to the front of the train. He began to yell to them, but the wind was to strong. So he followed them. He soon lost them because of the wind, the snow and the fog. Then suddenly on the roof of the train he met a ghost vagabond. They talked a while with each other. The ghost told the hero boy that didn't care from where the train came and where it was going, but that he simply enjoyed the spectacular ride with the train. That he didn't need a ticket for the ride because as a vagabond he was free to do what he wanted. Then the ghost helped the boy to get to the front of the train. They hurried because soon the train would go in a tunnel and there wasn't enough space between the train and the tunnel for someone to stay on the roof. The ghost took his skies and they skied on the roofs of the wagons to the front of the train, which was very difficult because the train went up and down. But at the last moment before the tunnel the boy sprang into the locomotive.

In the locomotive there was also the hero girl. She told him, that the conductor brought her here. She was alone because the engine-drivers went to the front of the locomotive to replace the light. The two drivers were very clumsy. After a while they succeeded in changing the light. Then they saw that there was something on the rails in front of the train. They began to yell to the hero girl that she should stop the train. The hero girl and the hero boy found the brake and they stopped the train just in front of the obstacle. The conductor came to the locomotive. He was angry at the boy because he had again stopped the train. But the hero girl explained the situation to the conductor, so he wasn't angry anymore. Together they went to the front of the locomotive to see what the obstacle was. It was a large herd of deers. It was impossible to continue with the train. One of the engine-drivers had a long beard and when the conductor accidentally  pulled the beard the driver yelled very hard. The deers were afraid of that yell. The conductor pulled the beard several times more and the deer began to retreat. So they could continue the ride.

The engine-drivers went back inside the locomotive. The conductor, hero girl and hero boy stayed in front of the locomotive to admire the surroundings. The engine-drivers accidentally brook something so the train went harder and harder and they couldn't slow it or stop it. So the train went for a spectacular ride up and down. It was very dangerous for the three of them in front of the locomotive. After a while the train came to the beginning of a lake where the rails were under the ice. The train couldn't turn around so it continued the ride on the ice on top of the lake. The engine-drivers succeeded in repairing the locomotive so they slowed and stopped the train on the middle of the lake. Then the ice started to break. The engine-drivers started the train and then the ride of their lives began. They had to outrun the breaking of the ice and to get to the end of the lake exactly at the point where the rails started again. At the last moment they succeeded.

The hero girl and the hero boy were back in the wagon with the kids. The know-it-all boy was very excited about the last adventures they made with the train. The hero girl saw that the lonely boy was sadly standing on the balcony of the last wagon. Together with the hero boy she went to the lonely boy. Then she began to sing him a beautiful song about Christmas. Soon the lonely boy joined her. The song was about friendship and family. But the song couldn't cheer up the lonely boy.

At the end of the song the know-it-all boy rushed on the balcony. He was in shock. He told them that all the other kids disappeared. They changed into dust and slowly disappeared. The three of them without the lonely boy ran back to the wagon where the kids were. The wagon was empty. They started to discuss what happened. Then the conductor walked into the wagon. He told them that not everyone deserved to ride with the train all the way. Then he went away without another explanation. They were very confused. The big question was why the three of them were allowed to stay on the train. The hero girl suggested that the reason was that only they really believed in Santa Claus. But that wasn't true, because the know-it-all boy didn't believe in him and the hero boy was skeptical about him. They discussed further. Then they found out that maybe the reason was, that all of them three were kind of active on the train. All the other kids just sat on their seats and waited to reach the destination. But why didn't the lonely boy disappeared, he also wasn't active. The three of them looked at each other and went to the last wagon to see if the lonely boy was still on the train. When they came to the door of the last wagon the lonely boy disappeared before their eyes. They were the only three kids left on the whole train.

The train came to a big spectacular city on ice. The three kids were very excited. The hero girl believed that this was the city of Santa Claus and that in the city they would see him and his dwarfs. They arrived to the city. But the city was empty, there was no one on the streets. It was strange. They went to the balcony of the last wagon to see the city better. The hero boy accidentally uncoupled the last wagon from the train. At that moment the train was going up so the last wagon went backwards and on a switch took another rail into the city. The ride with the wagon through the empty streets of the city was very fast and spectacular. Then the wagon went under the city, where there were large empty factories. The fast and spectacular ride continued under the city. At one point they came back to the surface of the city at the same time as the train came by. On a switch they joined the train and their wagon automatically coupled again with the train. The kids went quickly back to their wagon.

The train was going through the center of the city and then out of the city and still there was no one on the streets. No dwarfs, no Santa Claus. The know-it-all boy started happily to assert that the empty streets were the prove that Santa Claus didn't existed. That he was just an imagination. Then the know-it-all boy began to disappear. That was prove for the hero girl that Santa Claus did exist. Only the hero boy and the hero girl were left on the train. The train was coming to the boundary of the city. Then the conductor came to them to take them to the roof of the wagon, because now they would come to the most beautiful and exciting part of the journey. The hero girl asked the conductor if they would now see Santa Claus and his dwarfs. The conductor looked strange to her. He asked her, where she got the idea that she would see Santa Claus on this journey. He said to her that he never, in his long life as a conductor, saw Santa Claus or his dwarfs. That the only aim of this voyage was the voyage itself. And that probably Santa Claus was just an imagination. The hero girl was very chocked and sad about this revelation. They climbed on the roof of the wagon. The countryside through which the train was riding was spectacular. It was the most beautiful thing that the hero boy saw until now in his life. He was amazed. Tears off happiness came into his eyes. He tried to cheer up the hero girl, she was to sad about Santa Claus to enjoy the spectacular view. She slowly disappeared. Only the conductor and the hero boy were left. The beautiful ride through the amazing countryside continued.

The hero boy woke in his bed. It seemed like the whole voyage with the Polar Express was just a beautiful dream. It was Christmas day. He went to the window. It was a beautiful day outside. Now he knew what Christmas was about. It was not important if Santa Claus existed or not. It was not important if you believed in Santa Claus or not. Christmas was about people, about friendship, about family, about having a nice time together. He was happy. He went to the living room to join his family around the Christmas tree.

THE END

STARGATE
Some US egyptologists found in 1949s in Egypt an ancient device. It was a large circle made from some strange material and it was very very old. The US army took it to a secret high-tech laboratory. In the next decades intensive research was made on the object. They found out that the device was a gate to another planet in our galaxy. They named it Stargate. But they couldn't activate it.

Dr. Daniel Jackson finally succeeded in activating it. A special army unit under the command of Jonathan 'Jack' O'Neil was established. They were very heavy armed and had the newest high-tech equipment. Together with Daniel they went through the Stargate. Their mission was to find out what was on the other side of the Stargate and to secure the other side, so no one could get through the Stargate to Earth. If it would be impossible to secure the other side then they would have to destroy the Stargate on the other side.

They came to the other side. They were in a large stone building. They quickly secured the perimeter around the Stargate. Then they put the special explosive on the Stargate, which would in emergency destroy the Stargate. Then they explored the old building. They came outside the building. They were in a desert. They explored the surrounding. The building with the Stargate reassembled a pyramid, but without the top. A team of soldiers climbed on a large dune to inspect the surroundings. They couldn't find anything. All around them was only desert.

The night came. Jack posted several guards outside the building. Daniel still explored the building. Suddenly a large spaceship appeared from the sky. The guards alarmed the unit. Jack called the guards back into the building and established a heavy guarded defense around the Stargate. The spaceship had the form of a large pyramid. It landed on the building. The soldiers could feel the trembling of the building as the spaceship landed. Several minutes after the landing a cylinder of strange light appeared from the top of the building. Then for a long time nothing happened. Jack decided to send a small robot vehicle to the strange light. When the robot drove into the light it disappeared. The robot had a small camera so the soldiers could see that it appeared again in the spaceship in a small room. There was no one in the room, it looked deserted.

Jack sent three soldiers after the robot. They appeared in the spaceship, checked the empty room and secured it. Jack with some more soldiers came after them. They started to explore the spaceship, corridor by corridor and room by room. There was no one in the spaceship. It was deserted. Daniel came to the spaceship. They took him to the main room, with several chairs for the pilots and a lot of strange instruments. Daniel started to decipher the instruments. It looked like the original occupants of the spaceship were humans or some extraterrestrial species who looked like humans.

After a while Daniel had a shocking news. He found out that the spaceship would fly back from where it came in some 15 minutes. It looked like it had some sort of a autopilot. Jack demanded from Daniel that he turned off the autopilot. But Daniel knew to little to do that. Jack had to make a difficult decision. They could all leave the spaceship and let it go. There was a chance that the spaceship would not return, so they would lose the opportunity to explore it and to find out from where it came. They could go with the spaceship and risk that they would never come back to earth again. Daniel wanted to go with the spaceship. It was a difficult decision for Jack. He decided that they would go with the spaceship. He ordered his men to collect all the information that they got from exploring this planet and this spaceship. Then he sent two soldiers with the collected information back to Earth, so on Earth they would know what was happening. He left some men by the Stargate and demanded reinforcement from Earth to protect the Stargate. With his other men and with Daniel they went to the main room in the spaceship, sat themselves in the pilot chairs and waited for the take off.

They didn't knew how the acceleration would affect them. Where they safe in the pilot chairs or should they protect themselves. The spaceship took off. They didn't feel any acceleration. Daniel succeeded in making transparent a large window, so they could see how they were flying through the atmosphere and then through space away from the planet. Then Daniel found a way to make transparent all the walls of the spaceship. It was spectacular, it was like they were flying through space without a spaceship. And they were flying very fast. After a while they came to a gas giant with spectacular rings. Behind the gas giant there was another Stargate. But this one was gigantic. The spaceship went through the space Stargate.

They came out on the other side of the space Stargate. It was spectacular. In front of them there was a large space structure. Thousands and thousands of gigantic space stations were connected together like in a web. They were approaching one of the space station. Far away in the center of the web there was a gigantic building, probably the main headquarters of the whole structure. More spectacular was that they were outside the galaxy. They had a fantastic view of the galaxy behind the structure. This had to be a large intergalactic spaceport or terminal. There was no Stargate behind them from where they came. It looked like the Stargate field surrounded the whole structure.

They docked to a space station. From their spaceship they explored their surrounding. They couldn't find any activity. It looked like the large intergalactic structure was deserted. Only occasionally they could detect a spaceship similar to their own taking off from the structure or landing on one of the several thousands space stations. They were probably also on autopilot like their own.

Jack and several of his men went exploring the space station. Daniel with the rest of the soldiers stayed on the spaceship. The space station was deserted. They went exploring the large tunnels that connected the space stations.

After a while Daniel detected some small spaceships moving through the structure. He used the zoom of the spaceship to see and analyze the spaceships. They were different than their spaceship or the space stations. He also detected some movements in the corridors and space stations. The movements were going from several different regions to the location were Jack and his men were. The spaceships went also to that location. Daniel warned Jack. Jack decided to return quickly to their spaceship.

But on their return Jack and their men were intercepted in the corridors. The alien soldiers attacked them. There was a heavy fight. During the fight Jack and his men inspected one of the dead enemy soldiers and sent also the pictures of him back to Daniel. The uniforms and the weapons of the enemy soldiers were completely different than everything they saw until that moment. But surprisingly the enemy soldiers were completely human. Daniel developed a theory that the enemy soldiers were not the original habitants of this intergalactic structure, but just some visitors like themselves They were probably coming from a planet in the galaxy and probably they also found somewhere a deserted Stargate, which brought them to this place. But they were more developed than humans from Earth, while they already mastered the space flight. And maybe the original habitants of the intergalactic structure were also humans, who came to this galaxy from another one and settled different planets in it. That would explain why the enemy soldiers were also humans like themselves.

The battle became very spectacular. The small spaceships attacked Daniel's spaceship. Fortunately the spaceship had an energy shield, so they were protected. But Daniel didn't knew for how long. He couldn't find any weapons on their spaceship. The soldiers that were with Daniel on board the spaceship went to the space station to help Jack and his men. After a long and heavy battle Jack and his men returned to the spaceship. Some of Jack's men were dead and several of them were wounded. During this time Daniel succeeded in learning how to fly the spaceship. So he took off under the heavy fire of the enemy spaceships. In the distance he saw that some large enemy spaceships were approaching. So it was urgent to run away. They approached the large Stargate field and went through it. They hoped that the enemy wouldn't know where they went to or at least wouldn't wanted to follow them.

On the other side of the Stargate they came back to the system of the desert planet. Daniel was relieved, while he wasn't quit sure if he could bring the spaceship back to the right system. They flew to the desert planet. The enemy spaceships didn't follow them. But when they were half way to the desert planet the enemy spaceships appeared through the Stargate. The number of spaceships was very large. And immediately after them several very large enemy spaceships appeared. Daniel detected them with the instruments on board their spaceship. The chase began.

The small enemy spaceships caught them, before they came to the desert planet. They attacked heavily. But the defense shield of the spaceship protected them. Under heavy fire they landed on the desert planet. The large enemy spaceships started to attack. As soon as Jack established communication with his men at the original Stargate he ordered them to prepare for battle and to prepare the explosive for destroying the Stargate. The enemy starships landed around the building in which the Stargate was and the enemy ground troops started to attack immediately. But luckily Earth sent in the past day heavy arms to protect the Stargate, so there were heavy military troops with heavy arms around the building. A spectacular heavy battle developed. When Jack and his men came from their spaceship to the building he ordered retreat back to Earth and he ordered to start the count-down of the explosive on the Stargate. The soldiers slowly retreated under heavy fire to the Stargate and then back to Earth. Some seconds after the last soldier retreated the explosive went off and the Stargate was destroyed to dust.

Back on Earth the military authorities interrogated Jack, his men and Daniel for several weeks. The whole project was and stayed top secret. After several weeks Jack and Daniel stood outside the military complex and looked to the sky. It was amazingly that there was somewhere there outside our galaxy a large abandoned intergalactic structure, but it was also very frightening to know that there was a high-developed aggressive enemy somewhere in our galaxy which was probably at that moment trying to locate Earth to destroy it.

THE END

HIDE AND SEEK
David Callaway lived in New York with his wife Alison and daughter Emily. Emily was still a child. David was a psychologist. Katherine was his co-worker and she was also a very good family friend, especially Emily liked her.

One evening Alison put her daughter to bed. Before putting her to bed she played hide and seek with her. It was Emily's  favorite game. Then Alison went to the bedroom, where her husband was waiting for her. There was some tension between the two of them. Their conversation suggested that David was impotent and that that was the reason for the tension. That night David woke at 2.06 AM. He had just a nightmare about some party where he was with his wife. He was alone in bed. It was strange. he went looking for his wife. He found her lying in the bath-tub. She killed herself - she cut her wrists. Emily was staying at the door looking at her father and dead mother.

Emily was traumatized by the suicide of her mother. So David decided that the two of them would move to another place so Emily could start a new life in a new surrounding. He bought a house in a small village deep in the forests, not far from New York.

David as a psychologist tried to help Emily. But he approached her more like one of his adult patients and not like his daughter. He also decided which psychological methods would help her most and he didn't accepted the spontaneous methods that his daughter came up with. That brought tension between them and also some conflict situations. Emily's condition was from day to day worser.

David's neighbors were a strange couple. They just lost their son. He was their only child. They were still very upset and depressive about it. They also quarreled a lot and David had the suspicion that the man also beat his wife. He tried to help them but they didn't let him.

The first day at their new house Emily went into the forest. She was strangely attracted by it. In the forest she came to a small scary cave. Someone or something appeared from the cave. From that day she had an imaginary friend. She called him Charlie. David was first frightened that Charlie was an adult man who wanted to molest his daughter, but then he saw that Charlie was just an imaginary friend. But that he also didn't like it, because this Charlie would just disturb his therapy with his daughter. He wanted to find out more about Charlie, but Emily told him, that Charlie didn't want her to talk about him to other people.

David was almost daily on the phone with Katherine his co-worker in New York. He needed her advice regarding his daughter. Katherine was very pleased to help him. Most of the time David worked in his room. He had some headphones on his head, listened to some music and wrote down his observations about his daughter or studied some books.

Emily became more and more hostile against her father. And Charlie was the reason for her hostile behaviour. Charlie told her that her father was responsible for the dead of her mother. Charlie suggested that the two of them should play with her father. The aim of the game was to make her father upset and angry.

One night David woke at 2.06 AM. He had just a nightmare about some party where he was with his wife. He saw that the light in the bathroom was on. he went to the bathroom. There he was shocked. The bath-tub was full of water and there were candles around the bath-tub, like the night that his wife made suicide. And there were words written on the wall, that he killed his wife. Emily watched from the door. David was very upset, he asked his daughter why did she do it. But she answered that she didn't do it, that Charlie did it.

David met Elizabeth in the village. She was just divorced. From the beginning they were attracted to each other. She often looked over Amy. Amy was the daughter of he r sister and she was the same age as  Emily. One day Elizabeth came with Amy to David, so Emily could play with Amy. But Emily didn't want to play with her. She told her not to come anymore, because Charlie didn't like her and that because of that she was in danger in the house. She also destroyed her doll.

David invited Elizabeth to dinner with Emily at his house. Emily was that evening very hostile against Elizabeth. She didn't like her. She didn't like that her father had forgotten her mother and that he had found a new wife. After Elizabeth went home Emily told David that Charlie was very upset about Elizabeth. David tried to explain that Elizabeth would not replace her mother, that she was just a good friend. He didn't succeed. That night David woke again at 2.06 AM. He had just a nightmare about some party where he was with his wife. He saw that the light in the bathroom was on. he went to the bathroom. There he was shocked. The bath-tub was again full of water and there were candles around the bath-tub, like the night that his wife made suicide. And there were words written on the wall, suggesting that his relationship with Elizabeth was wrong. He also found their cat dead in the bath-tub. David was very upset, he went to his daughters bedroom and asked his daughter why did she do it. But she answered that she didn't do it, that Charlie did it.

Some days later Elizabeth came to visit David and Emily at their house. David was studying in his room. He didn't hear Elizabeth, because he had his headphones on. Elizabeth went to Emily's room. She found her there siting on her bed. She started some small-talk with her. Emily told her that she was playing her favorite game hide and seek with Charlie. And that Charlie was hiding at that moment. Elizabeth asked her where Charlie was hiding. Emily didn't answer but looked to her wardrobe. Elizabeth wanted to be friends with Emily so she started to play the game. She tried to find Charlie. She opened the wardrobe. Someone or something sprang from the wardrobe and pushed Elizabeth out of the window. Emily's room was on the second floor so Elizabeth couldn't survive the fall. David didn't hear anything.

That evening the local police officer came to David. He was looking for Elizabeth. He found he car damaged and off the road, but he couldn't find her anywhere. He found out that she wanted to visit David that afternoon and also the traces of the tires on the road showed that the car was coming from David's house. David and Emily told the officer that Elizabeth was not by them that afternoon and that they didn't saw her. The police officer was a little suspicious about their statement, but he went back to the village.

After the police officer departed, David started to interrogate Emily. He was terrified of his suspicion that Emily had something to do with the disappearance of Elizabeth. Emily ran to her room. David went after her. In her room he saw the broken window. He also saw Emily's drawings which showed how Charlie pushed Elizabeth through the window. David was terrified. Emily burst into tears. She told her father that she didn't want to play with Charlie anymore, that the game wasn't fun anymore and that she was afraid of him.

David went quickly outside the house to the place where Elizabeth fell. He looked around but couldn't find anything. He went back into the house. Emily was waiting for him on the stairs. She was terrified. She showed him her clock. It was  2.06 AM. It was strange for David, he didn't have the feeling that it was so late already. He had to spent more time outside than he remembered. Then he was shocked - the bath-tub. He ran to the bathroom. The bath-tub was again full of water and there were candles around the bath-tub, like the night that his wife made suicide. Elizabeth's dead body lay in the bath-tub. Emily screamed to David that Charlie did it. David locked Emily in her room. Then he went downstairs. He didn't know what to do. It was too much for him. He walked confused through the rooms. Then he decided that he should hide the dead body. He went back to the bathroom. The body was gone. He ran to Emily's room. The door was still locked. He opened the door. Emily was sitting on her bed. Then he realized that Charlie was a real person.

He went back to the bathroom. He saw blood and water traces on the stairs. They were leading through the main door outside the house. He took a large knife from the kitchen and went outside the house. There in the dark he found the strange neighbor. There was a lot of confusion. David yelled to the neighbor to tell him where he hid Elizabeth. The neighbor was shocked when he saw blood on David's clothes and the knife in his hand. He started to yell back to David asking him were Emily was. David ran back to the house to protect Emily. The neighbor ran after him. David wounded him with his knife and closed the door in front of him.

Inside the house David hugged Emily and asked her for forgiveness for not believing her that Charlie was real. Then he started to check the doors and the windows. Suddenly the neighbor appeared behind Emily. He put his arm around her. Emily started to scream. David came running with his knife. He hysterically attacked the neighbor. The neighbor felt heavy wounded to the floor. David bent over him and told him that he knew that he was Charlie and that he got him now. The neighbor looked strange to him and his last words before he died were that Charlie was the name of his dead son.

David looked to Emily. Emily told him that the neighbor was not Charlie. David tried to get from her who Charlie was. But Emily was to frightened to answer him. She just asked him not to leave her again. He didn't understood. Then she begged him not to demand from her to show him who Charlie was. David understood less and less. Then he saw that the door of his working room was open. There was something unusual in his working room. He went into the room. All the things that he brought with him were still in boxes. Nothing was unpacked. The headphones were unpacked. The notebook in which he was sure he wrote the observations of his daughter was completely empty. Then he realized. He remembered everything.

Because of the stress of his work he became impotent. He tried several medicines, but nothing helped. At an important party he saw his wife having sex with one of his friends. It was to much for him. He felt like his manhood was ridiculed. Another person appeared in his mind. It was Charlie. Charlie/David killed his wife. Emily saw everything. First her father killed her mother and put her in the bath-tub. Then he went to bed. Some minutes later he woke and was shocked to find his wife dead in the bath-tub. The first day in the new house, when she went into the forest her father appeared from the cave and presented himself as Charlie to her. He took the name of the dead son of their neighbors. All the time Emily had to live with the two personalities in her fathers head. When ever David thought he was working in his study room he was Charlie.

It was to much for David. He lost his mind. Charlie appeared for good. He was dissapointed in Emily. He accused her for betraying him. He started to walk to her. He planned to kill her with his knife. When he was in front of her a shocked expression appeared on his face and blood came from his mouth. A knife was in his belly. Elizabeth came to the house to rescue Emily and she killed David.

She told Emily not to move and to wait for her here. She was strangely different. Not the nice and warm Elizabeth that Emily knew but some cold woman. Elizabeth took the knife from David's belly and put it in the hand of the neighbor. Emily saw that Elizabeth wore gloves. Then Elizabeth took all the hidden small cameras in the house. When she was finished she took off her gloves, put some blood on her hands and clothes, and made a mess of her hair and make-up. Then she took Emily and together they went to the police station.

Elizabeth put Emily to bed. Emily was in a state of shock. She didn't say a word. Elizabeth closed the door of her room and went down the corridor with a co-worker. Emily was in a children's psychiatry hospital. Elizabeth and her co-worker discussed Emily. From the moment Emily and Elizabeth came to the police station, Emily didn't say a word. She suffered a complete breakdown. She was completely apathetic. The co-worker said that in a way Elizabeth was very lucky with this coincidence. Elizabeth was doing an important research on children under heavy stress and now she had a child patient who went through extreme stressful situations. This coincidence would help greatly her research. The co-worker joked that it would be nice for the research if they had some cameras in David's house. Elizabeth looked angrily to her co-worker. She snapped to him that it was not appropriate even to joke about the situation in which the girl was.

THE END

ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13
Jake Roenick woke in the afternoon in his apartment. He took some tablets, put on his police uniform and went outside into his car. There was a heavy snow storm outside. He rode through the storm to his police station "precinct 13" in the industry suburb of Detroit. It was New Year's eve.

In a church in Detroit Marion Bishop was waiting for someone. He was leading the most powerful criminal organization. An agent of the special police unit for organized criminal sat besides him. Bishop told the agent that his answer was no. The agent took his gun but Bishop was faster and killed the agent with an injection syringe. He went outside the church. Two of his man were waiting outside. In the church they discovered the dead body. There was a lot off screaming and panic. There were some special agents outside the church. When they saw Bishop appearing alone from the church and heard the screaming, they tried to get him. Bishop's men started to shoot at them. Bishop run back into the church, through the church and outside through the back door. But there were cops already waiting for him. Some people inside the church called the police and luckily some police cars were near the church. Bishop was arrested for murdering an agent. Not far away Marcus Duvall was looking to the action from his car. He was in command of the special unit. he was pissed off. The whole situation got out of control. He wanted to force Bishop into a deal or at least eliminate him quietly. But now the police arrested him for murder and Bishop knew to much of his connections with the criminal underground. He could take down him and the whole corrupted special unit. He had to do something and that quickly.

Jake Roenick arrived at his police station. It was the last day that the station was open. Tomorrow it would be closed. They moved the station to a new location. Almost everything was already moved. Only a small team would spent that night in the old station and Jake would be in charge of them.

Beside Jake there were on the station only Iris Ferry the sexy secretary, who liked to have sex with mean bad guys, and Jasper O'Shea an old cop. They were preparing to have a small party. On the television they saw the latest news about the arrest of Marion Bishop. Marcus Duvall appeared on the television. He said that they would keep Bishop heavy guarded on the main police station in the city and that the next day when the storm would pass they would transfer him to a safe and heavy guarded place.

Later Alex Sabian visited the station. She was the police psychologist. She had a regular therapy meeting with Jake, before she would go to her New Year's party. Some months earlier Jake lost two partners in an undercover operation and he was wounded in his leg. He was in charge of the operation. From that event he didn't want to work in field anymore, so he applied for a desk job in the new station, while supposedly his leg didn't heal good. Jake made fun of the therapy and of Alex. But the two were atracted to each other. When she left, Jake stole his file from her.

Jake started to read his file in his office. Marcus Duvall and his co-workers came to Bishop's temporarily prison. He told the cops who guarded Bishop that they would secretly transfer Bishop with a regular prison bus with some other less important prisoners that evening and not the next day as it was told to the public. They misguided the public on purpose so Bishop's men wouldn't know that he would be transfered that evening. Alex professional opinion about Jake was that the problem was not his leg, which healed very good, but his self-confidence. After the operation he was afraid to take the responsibility of leading another operation. He was afraid of making mistakes that could lead to more killed partners. Bishop and three other prisoners were transfered in a police bus. Only two cops were guarding them. Suddenly they got the message that the road in front of them was blocked because of a heavy accident and also the storm was becoming more and more dangerous. So they got the orders to drive the prisoners to the abandoned police station "precinct 13" where they would wait temporarily for further orders. Jake didn't like what he read in the file but in a way he knew it was the truth.

The cops brought Bishop to the station. Jake didn't like it. To have Bishop in an abandoned police station with almost no guards. It was crazy. He prayed that Bishop's men didn't know that he was here. One of the cops from the bus called the traffic control. He wanted more information about the heavy accident, while he knew that at that moment his sister would be driving somewhere at the location of the accident. He was told that there was no accident at that location. He thought it was very strange, but he soon forgot about it. He was just happy that there was nothing wrong with his sister. Jasper told everyone that he just got the confirmation that he could retire. He started to celebrate. Later that evening Alex returned to the station. The storm was to big, she couldn't get with her car to the party, so she returned to the station. Jake and Alex started to flirt with each other.

It was midnight and everybody celebrated the New Year. One of the cops from the bus went down to the prisons to check the prisoners. Two heavy armed and masked men came from outside through the unlocked back door to the prisons at the same moment as the cop came. There was a gunfire between them. The cop was heavy wounded and the two men escaped. The others heard the gun of the cup and came to the prisons. They found out that the back door was unlocked and they were sure that it was locked the whole time. And also the telephones didn't work anymore and the cell phones were also blocked. They were sure Bishop's men were coming for Bishop. Jasper demanded of Jake to let Bishop free. If Bishop's men knew that they had Bishop they would get him anyway. It was pointless to resist them. But Jake and the others hated Bishop to much to just let him go. Bishop was a cop killer and now they had him. They looked through the windows. They saw no one.

Jake decided to go to the bus, who was parked outside the station. The bus had a radio. Maybe he could call for help. When he came to the bus he surprised a police commandos in the bus who was just destroying the radio. Jake immediately attacked him and after a short fight succeeded in making him unconsciousness. Jake dragged him back to the station. Inside the station they tied him. It was strange. Bishop's men didn't wear police uniforms and didn't have the equipment of the police commandos. They woke the police commandos. They couldn't get a word fro him. They also brought Bishop to the interrogation. When Bishop saw the police commandos he laughed. He told them that he was one of Duvall's men. It looks like Duvall wanted to eliminate him and probably everyone in this station. They didn't believe them. Then the two cops from the bus said that Duvall himself ordered the immediate strange transfer of Bishop. Then on of them told them about the imaginary accident. This gave some weight to Bishop's words but still they didn't believe Bishop's explanation. They took him back to his prison. Bishop amused himself.

Marcus Duvall was sitting in his car with his co-worker. He was pissed off. Everything this day went wrong. He brought Bishop to this abandoned police station to kill him easily and even that didn't work. And now they captured one of his men. It was crazy. He had to kill Bishop that night and there was only one way left. He suspected that at the station they already knew or suspected that he stood behind the attack. So he would have to eliminate everyone. He issued the order to start the full attack on the station.

Duvall's men positioned themselves around the station. Jake and the others saw through the windows what was happening. Then the fierce attack started. Duvall's men opened fire. The windows were destroyed in a second. The whole station was under fire. The tied police commandos was heavily wounded. He started to curse. He knew he would die with the rest of them. He shouted to the others that all of them would die. That Duvall would not leave them alive. Jake asked him if they were really attacked by Duvall's men. He got the confirmation of the commandos. Then the commandos died.

The heavy attack continued. Jake saw that the situation was hopeless. He decided to free Bishop and the other prisoners and arm them. So they would have more chance to survive. Jasper didn't want to do it. He would rather die than let Bishop free and arm him. But Jake in this extreme situation evolved into a determined leader. He freed the prisoners and armed them. The heavy fight continued. During the fight Bishop explained to Jake that he worked with Duvall together and that they shared the profit from their black operations. But that Duvall wanted a bigger share of the profit. He didn't got it, so probably Duvall had a arrangement with some of Bishop's men to replace Bishop. He just had to eliminate Bishop. After a long and spectacular attack they succeeded in defending the station. Duvall's men retreated. Some of Jake's men were dead or wounded.

Duvall decided to call helicopters for the final attack on the station. In the station Alex lost her mind. She became hysterical. It was to much for her. Jake tried to calm her but he didn't succeed. When no one looked she went out of the station. She started to walk away from the station with her hands up. She yelled to Duvall's men that she wanted to surrender. That she would tell no one about this attack. Jake saw her from his window. He started to run to bring her back into the station but Bishop caught him and didn't let him go. He told him that she was already dead and that he could not help her. One of Duvall's men shot her into her head. Jake went crazy.

Duvall's men started to attack again. Jasper dissapeared. Iris saw how he went to the roof. There she saw how Jasper unlocked the door to the roof and went back down the others. She went crazy. She attacked him and heavy wounded him in front of the others. She told them what she saw. Jasper couldn't lie anymore. He confessed that he worked for Duvall. He also unlocked the back door down at the prisons. Jasper also told them that Duvall would probably sent helicopters to attack from the roof. Jake was pissed off. He killed Jasper. Bishop was amused with the situation. Jake went to the roof. There he saw helicopters approaching. He locked the door and went down to the others.

Duvall's men landed on the roof of the station and started the attack from the roof. Bishop slowly took command of the situation. It looked like he was expecting something other someone. He took them to the basement. Duvall's men attacked the station from all sites and they were already in the station. Beside Bishop only Jake and Iris were still alive. They came to a room with a small window. Then someone from outside destroyed the window. Jake and Iris thought it were Duvall's men. But Bishop told them not to shoot. It were Bishop's men. They helped the three of them to escape through the window. Outside they saw dead Duvall's men. Bishop was glad to see his co-worker. The co-worker told him that he also eliminated the traitor in Bishop's organization, who was working with Duvall. Under heavy fire they escaped.

They rode away from the station in cars through the storm. Duvall got the news that Bishop escaped. He was pissed off. Bishop stopped the cars when they were far enough. His men tied Jake and Iris and abandoned them in a car. Before that Bishop gave Jake three options to choose from. The first option was that Bishop would kill Jake and Iris. The second option was that Bishop would just leave Jake and Iris here in the car. The cops would soon find them. And Duvall would kill them probably in a day, because they were dangerous witnesses of his attack on the station. The third option was that Jake would start to work for Bishop. Jake and Iris would be left in the car. The cops would find them. But Bishop would prevent Duvall from killing them. Bishop had still some powerful influence in the police. Bishop would arrange that Jake would be promoted to the special unit. Jake's task was to replace Duvall in the special unit in the next years and of course to cooperate with Bishop. Jake liked the third option. He just asked Bishop if he wasn't afraid that when he replaced Duvall that he could betray him. Bishop answered him that he hoped that if he would do that ,that he would be better than Duvall. And he also said to Jake that now that he became a mean and bad guy he would finally get with Iris into bed. Jake and Iris laughed.

THE END
