Star Wars: Anime Style!
Chapter One
Long away, in a galaxy far far ago…
The galaxy was in chaos. The grip of the evil Emperor Naraku was tightening around the necks of the brave resistance. Princess Kagome, returning from a mission aboard her starship, was captured by Darth Kaiba, and taken to his fortress, the Death Sphere.
Meanwhile, her surviving droids have crash landed on the desert planet, Domino.

"We're lost," Sang-3PO said, crossing her golden arms.
"We're not lost," Moku-D2 said, "I know exactly where we're going."
"Where, the galaxy's biggest beach?" she asked.
"No," the little droid replied. "We have to deliver the Princess's message to Master Higurashi." Suddenly, the ground around them started rumbling as a huge rusted desert barge came up to them. A door opened in the side, and a bunch of funky little guys in brown robes came bumbling out, led by one little blonde girl in glasses.
"Well, Jawees, we found some great droids here." she said, examining Moku-D2.
"Can we help you, miss?" Sang-3PO asked.
"Sure, get in quietly or I'll shoot you," she said, pulling out a laser pistol. Jawees jibbered as they picked the gold droid up, and carried her up the ramp, while more clustered around the domed one.
"Hey, you can't do this!" Sang-3PO exclaimed, "We're not just a bunch of derelict droids wandering the desert!"
"Yeah, we're on a mission," Moku-D2 said as he was picked up by a giant magnet.
"Tell that to my empty wallet," said the girl. "I'm going to sell you two to some of these gamers who live out in the desert. Or my name's not Rebecca Hawkins."
"Whoa! Did you say Hawkins?" Moku-D2 asked, "Are you related to Prof. Hawkins, junk dealer extraordinaire?"
"I was until the empire got him and put him to work building that stupid Death Sphere. Now I have to live without my grandpa. And its not easy picking up junky droids everywhere."
"We're not junky!" Sang-3PO yelled.
"I know just who'd be interested in you two," Rebecca said as the doors closed and the barge took off again.

"Yugi, where are you going?"
"Uh… no where Grandpa," Yugi said, sheepishly at the door.
"Yugi, you weren't sneaking off to hang out with that old Jedi Knight again, were you?" Grampa said.
"No," Yugi lied, dropping his light saber. "Oops."
"Yugi, you know what I told you about that old man, living out in the desert by himself."
"Yeah but-"
"No buts," Grampa said "Now come with me to buy droids."
"Aw, Grampa, I don't wanna buy more junky droids. Shoot," Yugi said, packing his light saber away in his backpack.
Later, they and other gamers were gathered around Rebecca's displays or robots and androids. One large crowd in particular caught their eyes.
"What are they looking at?" Yugi asked.
"Let's find out," Grampa said. The pushed their way through the crowd.
"Check it out, ladies and gents," Rebecca said, pointing to a blue droid with wacky black hair and a well constructed gold model. "The Empire's Latest model droid, barely used, and a bargain at just 13000 yen a piece."
"13000 for this lovely golden angel?" said Miroku, the arms merchant as he 'inspeted' Sang-3PO.
"Hands to yourself, pervert! I'm not one of those model droids." she said, crushing his fingers.
"Ow! Not very friendly." said the merchant, sucking his swelled fingers.
Grampa walked out of the crowd, and looked Sang-3PO in the eyes. Then, he went over to Moku-D2 and looked through his hair for sand mites, then went to Rebecca and said, "I'll take them both, but I'll only pay 12000 yen for each because they're used. I can get new ones in town for 13."
"Yes, but you'd have to drive that extra long way." she said.
"12000, takeit or leave it."
"Uh… what do you think, Yugi," Rebecca said, looking adoringly at Yugi.
"They're nice, but I've seen cleanr," Yugi said. "This one's dinged up and has something stuck in his CD Rom, and this one needs oiled badly."
"Please buy us!" Sang-3PO begged him, grabbing his knees, "I don't wanna be owned by a pervert!"
"Now that's uncalled for," Miroku said.
"Please we need to find somebody," Moku-D2 said.
"Just who are you looking for?" Yugi asked.
"Never mind what he has to say, he's crazy," Sang-3PO said. "Just buy us, Please!"
"Alrighty then," Grampa said, "Have we got a deal?"
"Oh alright," Rebecca said. "But I'm losing money on the deal."
"What are you talking about," Sang-3PO said, getting up and waving her arms. "You found us wandering in the desert!"
"Time to go home." Grampa said, ushering his workforce to the hover car.
"Hmm," Miroku said, stroking his fu-man-chu beard. "I must tell Jaken the Hut this new development."
Transition
On the Death Sphere, Kagome was in her cell, awaiting the interrogation, when suddenly the door whooshed open. On the other side stood two storm troopers, and…
"Darth Kaiba!" Kagome said, cringing. The sable clad villain strode in, with raspy and heavy breathing.
"What's that noise?" Princess Kagome asked.
"Oh, wait," Darth Kaiba said, removing his mask and getting out an inhaler, "I have space asthma." He took buffs, and then tossed it. Then he loomed over the lovely princess. "You will answer my questions or die."
"You'll get nothing from me!" she spat.
"That's fine. I was going to kill you anyway." she gulped, and he continued. "But just so the evening's not a total loss," he snapped his fingers and a droid came in, pointing a huge needle a the Princess.
"What's that?" Kagome asked, backing up against the wall.
"A flue shot," Darth Kaiba said. "Imperial regulations; every prisoner must be in peak of health before execution."
"Great," Kagome said sarcastically as she was injected with the vaccine.
"Now, do you want cherry or grape?" he said ominously, holding two suckers.
"I hate cherry," she muttered.
"Then you get cherry," he said, sticking the lollipop in her mouth.
"You really are evil," Kagome said, gagging on the foul taste of the candy.
"Yes I am!" he said, and started manically, until he erupted in a fit of coughing. Immediately a Storm Trooper handed him a new inhaler.
Transition
Yugi was just finishing polishing the up the droids when there came a sudden frantic knock at the door. He opened it to a crying Rebecca.
"Rebecca, what happened?" he asked.
"The Empire killed my Jawees!" she yelled, running into his arms.
"What?"
"Some stupid troopers came looking for those droids I sold you, and when I didn't have them, they killed all my Jawees!"
"What do you mean those two you sold us?"
"They were looking for a cute little D2 unit, and a gold one with a huge rack." she snuffled.
"We need to ask them what this is all about," Yugi said, leading her to the repair shop. When they got there, the androids were gone.
"Where are they?" she asked.
"They made a run for it," Yugi said, looking at the oddly shaped holes in the wall. "Come on, the D2 unit didn't let me finish his oil change. We'll just follow his tracks out to the desert."
"The desert? Is that a good idea? I mean with all the sand people out there-"
"We'll be fine," Yugi said. "I know this desert like the back of my hand."
Sure enough, they followed the trail to rocky outlands, and found the runaway droids cowering in a dugout.
"You have to talk me into these things," Sang-3PO said. "I was nice and clean again and now I'm all covered with sand!"
"We have to find Master Higurashi." Moku-D2 said.
"No, you have to find him. I have to get out of this hole."
"There you are," Yugi said, running up to them. "We've been looking all night for you."
"You have some explaining to do," Rebecca said, "Thanks to you, my Jawees are dead, and I'm homeless!"
"The Empire must still be looking for us," Sang-3PO said.
"Look out!" Moku-D2 yelled, "Sand People!"
"Yeah right. I'm not falling for-" Yugi was hit in the back of the head and fell with a grunt as the Sand People surrounded them. Suddenly, with a flash of green, a cloaked and hooded figure came out of the shadows and twirled his light saber, scaring the barbarians away.
"Wow, that was cool!" Rebecca and Moku-D2 said.
"Thank you," said the old man, removing his hood. "I'm not bad for an old timer."
"You have to help this boy," Sang-3PO said.
" I know, I know, this isn't the fist time he's been clobbered by a sand person," he said. "By the way, I'm Master Higurashi, Jedi Knight."
"You're the old cooke who lives in the desert," Rebecca said. Master Higurashi cried.
"Wait, Master Higurashi?" Moku-D2 said. "I have an important message for you!"
"What happened?" Yugi asked, coming to. "Oh, Master Higurashi…"
"Hurry lad, we must get you and your friends out of here before more Sand People return." And they hurried off to Master Higurahsi's home, deep in the desert.
