Bounty

Han Solo.Finally.He had captured Han Solo.He breathed a sigh of relief before he jumped into the pilots seat and started mumbling to himself and frantically flipping switches and jabbing buttons…”shields…weapons…hyperdrive…fuel…navicomputer…”, he’d got clearance to leave.He ran through all the preflight checks again before he fired up the engines and was off.He was so full of nervous excitement, he forgot to make the jump into hyperspace…

Out of nowhere!!blaster fire was raining down on his ships starboard side!He swore loudly and turned the ship around to get a better look at his attacker.It was too soon for Solo’s rebel friends to have followed him…He saw an old cornelian ship; like the one owned by his captive, Han Solo, it was heavily modified.Combat guns, advanced shields…the whole deal.This ship belonged to a fellow bounty hunter who used to be his friend, Bossk…he scoffed, thinking about loyalty.…but now was no time to dwell on the past, he had a mission to compete.

He swerved, fired, turned, dodged, rose, fell, bla bla bla…this fight was going nowhere; but he was, and he needed to leave now.He diverted power to the rear shields and started calculating the jump to hyperspace; wishing he had a droid and ignoring the ominous creaking & vibrating of his ship.

“Aaa…ha!”, he yelled in triumph as he pulled the lever back and made the jump.Off he was again, cruising peacefully once more through those oddly calming blue spirals.He could worry about the damage to his ship once he reached Tatooine…for now, for once, he could relax.
