it.

"Make it work, go on," Luke said.

Balto pressed a button on his lightsaber.  A beam of blue "light" shot out of it.  It was his own lightsaber, his!

"There are many lessons a Jedi must learn.  First rule, never take the quick and easy path to become a Jedi.  It leads to the Dark Side..." Luke continued.

Balto listened, his eyes wide open.  The training continued like this.  After a week or so, Balto began to use the force and learn how to use his lightsaber.

"Very good.  You are making progress Balto.  You learn quickly as I did.  You are done for the day." Luke said.

Balto smiled.  He felt like somebody.  He closed down his lightsaber and said goodnight to Luke.  He then walked across the dusty landscape to the bar.

Jenna and her friends Slyvie and Dixie were sitting at a table.  Jenna's eyes were red as id she had been crying.  Balto only heard parts of the conversation, but that was enough.

"Don't cry Jenna," Slyvie said.

"The medicine will come through," Dixie said.

Balto heard more of the conversation. Steele's team was lost, and the ones who were sick would not last much longer.  Balto's ears dropped.  Now what would happen?

"Rosie," Balto said quietly.

Just then, Slyvie and Dixie left their friend alone.  Balto sunk lower in his chair.  His heart told him to go to her, but the fear of being seen said no.  He followed his heart.

"Jenna, Rosie will get better, I promise."

Jenna raised her head just enough to see Balto rush out.  Jenna, curious, followed him.

"Luke, we have to get the medicine.  Steele is lost.  All of the ones who are sick will die!" Balto yelled.

Luke emerged from a room wearing a familar orange flight suit.  He tossed Balto a flight suit as well.

"Well, then lets get going!" Luke cried.

Balto quickly ran into the small room to put on his flight suit.  He then ran to catch up with Luke, already in the hanger.  Little did they know, Jenna was watching closley overhead.

"You need a better star ship fighter plane than what you have.  We have an X-Wing here for you," Luke said.

Balto was stunned.  There ahead of him was his own X-Wing.

"But how?" Balto asked.

"Since the Jedi Counsel approved you, the alliance can trust you.  The humans always have, but now most of the dogs do," Luke explained.

"Now, lets go!" Luke cried.

Two X-Wing fighters took off from the hanger.  Jenna, watching them ran off to find Borris, Muk, and Luk.

Chapter 4

"Do or do not, there is no try."-Yoda

"Why were you passing through enemy grounds," the commander asked.  "Answer me!"

Steele only growled.

"Why do I have to tell you," he said.

The commander slapped Steele.  Kaltag, Nikki and Star winced.  They were begining to see how stupid Steele was.

"Take them to the detention block!  Darth Naydeen (Return of the Jedi, General Naydeene) ans Darth Saber will decide what to do with them." The commander yelled.

They were led through a maze of corridors and up a elevator.  This was no Star Destroyer, the team thought.  This was a Super Star Destroyer!  They were led to a cell block and thrown into a cell.

"What do we do now Steele?" Star asked.

----------------------

Meanwhile, in space Luke and Balto were nearing the planet of Sanye.  They were also nearing the ever growing empire.

"TIE fighters coming in," Luke yells.

About 10 TIE's were flying in fast.  Luke took out about five of them quickly, suffering ni damage.  Balto took out another two, leaving three.

"I can't shake um'!" Balto yells.

Luke tries to rush to Balto's rescue.  One of Balto's starboard engines are hit.  He is having trouble flying without a R2 unit like Luke has.

"R2, can you get a read out of Balto's status?" Luke asked.

"YAARUUGGHH!" came over the speaker.  The pilot quickly destroyed the TIE following Balto, leaving two TIE's left.

"Jenna?" Balto asks.

The three Rebel pilots defeat the remaining two TIE's easily.  But, not all of them were defeated.  A second of wave of fighters came, this time fifteen of them.  That's when more help came.

"Geronimo!" Muk and Luk cried.

"They're flying," Borris said in amazement, "they're actually flying!"

Normally, Muk and Luk would be in their ships in a tractor beam from Borris' ship.  Now they were flying H-Wings alone.

Gradually, the TIE's became less, and the six Rebels won!

"Let's land on Sanye to see how bad our ships are damaged," Luke said.

Luke led them down to the planet of Sanye.  Sanye is  a desert planet, similar to Tatooine.  The difference is that Sanye is mesa country, similar to modern day New Mexico.

"How is everyone, and how is everyone's ships?" Luke asked.

Everyone gave a thumbs up.  Almost everyone.  Jenna did not give the okay signal.

"Are you okay?" Balto asked.

"I'm fine," Jenna replied.

Her ships landing gear then collapsed right then and there.

"Maybe I'm not so fine.  Go on without me.  I would be slowing everyone else down. Rosie can't hold out much longer." Jenna said desperatly.

Balto looked at Luke, who nodded at him.  Balto sighed, then he looked at Borris, Muk, and Luk.

"Muk, Luk, carry Jenna's ship with her in it back in your tractor beam." Balto said.

"And this time, don't take time out for a dog fight, hee hee hee." Borris said.

"You can make sure of that Borris, you're going to lead them home," Balto said.

Luke stood by, watching.  He let Balto make the decision.  This was his fight and his alone. Well, not really a fight but you get the idea.(*yawns* sorry, I'm writing this late at night)

"You're going on, just you two?  Can you make it against the empire?" Jenna asked.

"It's not the first time I've gone on alone.  I won't even be alone.  I have a Jedi Knight with me.  Don't worry.  I will be fine," Balto said.

"Here, then take this bracelet.  It will remind you why you went on this mission." Jenna said.

"Don't worry, I will never forget," Balto said.

Jenna hugged Balto and gave him a kiss.

"Good luck," Jenna said.

"Let me tell you something Balto.  A dog, could never make such a journey, but maybe a wolf can." Borris said.  "Right, let's a move!"

Borris, Muk, and Luk took off with Jenna in their tractor beam.

"We don't have much time," Luke said.

-------------------

The two X-Wing fighters were nearing the Super Star Destroyer.

"Listen Balto, this is our plan.  Holding Bay C-19 is empty.  We will disguiese our ships somehow, then rescue the others.  If that doesn't work, we will become prisoners and turn ourselves in.  That plan has worked before, you'll see." Luke said.

Balto was unsure.  But he trusted the Jedi Knights' decision.  Suddenly, a rumble shook him out of his trance.

"Well, we are caught in a tractor beam.  Plan B, Balto." Luke said.

Balto nodded.

They were pulled into hanger A-18.  Storm Troppers were surronding the two ships.

"Balto, quickly drop out through the bottom storage compartment, quick!" Luke said.

Luke and Balto dropped out of their ships.  They then hid behind them where no one could see them.  They then played a Jedi mind trick, and snuck around back, toward the cell blocks.

"They're in these two," Luke said.

No one was guarding the cells.  Unusual.

"You open that one, I'll take this one," Luke said.

Balto opened the door.  There, was Steele.

"I don't need your help." Steele said.  "I can get the medicine back."

"No you can't.  You are tied up.  Since when do you need a pedigree to help someone?" Balto said.

Steele then quickly lept on Balto, going for the throat.  He instead ripped off Jenna's bracelet. Steele, still tied up freeded himself.  He than ran to the hanger without the medicine, hopped in his ship and flew off.

"Well, what do we do now?" Nikki asked.

Luke looked at them.  "We have to find the medicine," he said.

"Looking for this?" Came a voice from behind.

It was Darth Naydeen and Darth Saber, both had their lightsabers drawn.  As if on cue, Balto and Luke both drew their lightsabers.  The battle began.

Luke took Darth Naydeen.  Luke, being a superior Jedi was on him quickly.  They fought furiosly.  All Nikki, Kaltag and Star could do was watch.

"You fight well son," Saber said.

Balto and Saber went at it again.

Luke, with a couple of moves got Naydeen down.  He then quickly trapped him and put him in the cell block.  Luke watched Balto and Saber go.  That was his fight.  He had to get the medicine.

Kaltag, Nikki, and Star watched Luke jump.  He made a flying leap from one side to the other where the medicine was.  He then grabbed it, and threw it to the Trio.

"Catch!" Luke yelled.

Kaltag caught the medicine.

"Yay!" Star cried.

"You fight well Balto, but not good enough." Saber knocked Balto off of one level, and on to another.  Balto didn't move.

"Now, onto you, Trio."

"NO!!" Luke yelled.

Luke came flying in.  With a quick slash and dash he got him away.

Balto felt like a faliure.  He could not fight.  He layed his head down slowly.  Then,
