Yoda simply nodded, looking face showing dismay for the first time since the Jedi had arrived on planet. "Left per my instructions, Adam has. A great Jedi, he could be. But, too much of his father in him, he has. However, much training you have. Let us begin." he said, setting aside his walking stick and igniting his own lightsaber. ------ [i]Six Weeks Later...[/i] "Unidentified freighter, clear the way or be destroyed!" said the Imperial communications officer aboard the light cruiser Retribution. As a precaution, the captain already ordered the ships compliment of TIEs to disembark and surround the YT-1300 freighter. It wasn't uncommon for ships to become damaged in the Metharian Nebula, as the many swirling, violet clouds held many dangers. "Cannot comply!" came the static filled response from the freighter. Han Solo wouldn't consider himself a great actor, but thankfully he only needed to keep this charade going for another minute. Just as the small imperial convoy came to a complete halt, the trap was finally sprung. "Targets acquired. Formation, attack!" came the call over the comlink, and the six X-wings dove out of the clouds and fell upon the Imperials. Raptor Three, Adam Skywalker, was first among the TIEs, blasting one before the others had time to react. After leaving Kijani on Dagobah, Adam needed something to keep the young woman from his mind. Becoming a pilot seemed like the obvious choice, as the Rebels were desperately short on recruits. He wasn't sure he made the right choice until he got into the cockpit of his own X-Wing and flew with Raptor Squadron. He knew his father had been something of a pilot himself, and feeling the freedom and speed in his own hands made the young man feel closer to his father than he had ever felt. It wasn't long before the rest of the dark-green X-wings scattered the Imperial fighters like frightened banthas, letting the acompanying bombers to cripple the small convoy. Once all was said and done, Adam scored one more TIE fighter kill to his name, bringing his career total to eight. It felt good to be useful, but the young Jedi wished that Kijani was here to share in his success. Once his squadron, along side the Millennium Falcon, returned to their frigate, Adam knew that all that was waiting for him was a night of hollow celebration and wondering whatever Kijani was up to. ----- The silver star-skiff was massive, and Prince Eskel was surprised that the pilot could find a place to park here on Dagobah. The prince normally hated such ostentatious displays of wealth and grandeur, but his father deemed it necessary for a first impression. This wasn't a terribly large planet, and the prince was sure that his craft landing would be noticed by whoever was here. Hopefully, one of them was his future wife.
