	Okay, here is my Mara Jade story. Please tell me what you think. Thanks. Mara Jade: The Emperor’s Hand The Test on Corellia Mara Jade. The name brought fear to the fear to the hearts of her enemies. The Emperor’s Hand. The title itself would cause the powerful Darth Vader to listen to what she had to say. The was the Empire’s greatest asset. She could complete missions no number of stormtroopers or even Darth Vader could accomplish. She was a lethal assassin and an expert of disguise. She was loyal to only one person in all the galaxy… Emperor Palpatine… Mara Jade jumped down onto the landing, leaving the hole she had cut through the turbolift wall empty. She wore a black leather bodysuit, and was adorned in all sorts of holsters and pockets filled with blasters, ammo, slugthrowers, grenades, flares, commlinks, rations, and plenty other items. Her best asset was her lightsaber and her ability to call upon the Force. She smiled, thinking of the damage she would cause her target. She thought back onto her orders from the Emperor- “Child, you will go to Corellia, the primary planet in the Corellian System. There in the ruins of the old CorSec building you will find your target,” the Emperor informed her and handed her a datapad with his wrinkly hand, and it was filled with information on her target, “He is a Jedi. He escaped Lord Vader’s purge. Your mission is simple: kill the Jedi. To show me the proof he is dead, I want you to give his lightsaber to me. Do not fail me. She was young and beautiful with strikingly beautiful green eyes and golden-red hair. She was nervous but confidant. This was one of her first mission since becoming the Emperor’s Hand and she would do it well. She rounded the corner and saw the green lightsaber blade fly towards her. She immediately lifted the lightsaber Palpatine had given her. With a snap-hiss and a scratching sound her blade lit and parried the Jedi’s attack. She looked at the Jedi slowly, looking over his weapons. He wore a huge amount of grenades and held an DL-15 Blaster Pistol in his hand and the lightsaber in the other. He wore an assortment of tattered robes and Clone Wars-era Clone Trooper armor along with Jedi battle armor pieces. His hair was rough and he looked like he hadn’t seen sunlight in a long time. “Well, well, well, another Jedi. I thought I was the last one. So Anaki-I- I mean Darth Vader didn’t kill them all?” the man asked, excited scream and turned off his saber. She was about to take advantage of this opportunity when something in the Force twitched. She realized what it was a moment before it hit her. Literally. She was flung across the room when the piece of moss-covered ferocrete hit her. She slammed into the wall and fell to the ground, gasping for breath. Blood trickled from her mouth. A snap-hiss was heard as she sat up from the stone ground. She flipped a DC-17 blaster pistol into her right palm and fired on the Jedi. He deflected it and brought his lightsaber down. She moved to dodge, but another piece of rock hit her, but at least she still moved enough to dodge most of the strike. The lightsaber cut a thin gash in her shoulder and melted the bodysuit and cauterized the wound instantly. She cried in pain. She pushed with the Force, and the Jedi was thrown across the room. She jumped to her feet, wiped the blood from her mouth and used the Force to bring her lightsaber, which was thrown from her hand when the ferocrete hit her. She ignited it and stood over the crumpled body of the Jedi. He leaped up and striked at him with his lightsaber. She barely blocked it and then turned offensive. She hit again and again, and finally, his old lightsaber began to flicker. She smiled, apparently it hadn’t had any maintenance on it for a while since he had been hiding and it was losing energy from the continuous assault from her saber. Finally it flickered into nothing and she cleanly cut through the air and cut him in half. He fell, but strangely died with a smile. She figured it out instantly when the grenades and bombs attached to him flashed red. They were programmed to go off when he died. The explosion was the last thing she saw and heard before she blacked out in pain… A young girl not any older than eight years old stood in a room with two fencing droids. They each carried a lightsaber set to low power. The golden-redheaded girl was clad in an energy absorbing training suit. She lifted her red lightsaber up and waited for her master to tell her to go. “Child, take them out!” the hooded form of the Emperor ordered and she charged foreword and began to hack at them. She continued to hack. Strike-strike-strike-step back-defend-defend-strike-strike-strike-strike-step back-attach an automatic recharger onto her saber and continue. She did this over and over again. She was tired, but the droids didn’t tired but continued to fight at full strength. Still, her lightsaber was at full charge and theirs was weakened. One’s began to flicker and she hit it twice more and it disappeared and she cut it cleanly in half. The other’s lightsaber went out and she stabbed it through the ‘neck’. It fell to the ground sparking. Palpatine clapped and set a hand on Mara’s shoulder. That skill will come in handy one day… Mara awoke from her dream with a start. She couldn’t see anything. Her eyes were open but she couldn’t see! She was blind. She had a terrible headache and that beeping sound that beeped in a constant pattern didn’t do much to help it. She felt her face and found a piece of cloth over her eyes. She removed it and closed her eyes promptly. The light was unbearable. So bright she cried to herself. Suddenly the lights dimmed and she looked up to see a medic standing by the door. “Did I say that out loud?” Mara said, her head pounding. “Yes, thank the gods, you are awake,” the medic cried, and Mara realized she was Ladarian, a species of humans from a frosty world called Ladar who had the many gods of the Gungans of Naboo.. “What do you mean?” Mara demanded promptly, her attitude returning even as the headache fell away. “Well, you have been unconscious for over two months now. We were beginning to think you would never wake up. I mean, you healed within the first month, but you have been unconscious since then and well then there was…Where are you going?” the medic demanded as she watched Mara Jade take off her medical gown and slip into her burnt and tattered black leather bodysuit. “Where does it look like? Out of here!” Mara spat and zipped the front of it up and reached for her belt and wrapped the crispy, flaky burnt leather around her thin waist and headed for the door. “I’m sorry, but you can’t leave,” the medic told her, “There is file work.” Mara, really annoyed waved her hand at the medic and said, calling upon the Force, “I can go, and you’ll fill out the paperwork as if I were never here.” “I will,” the medic said, her eyes clouding over. Mara hurried out of the building and towards the nearest Imperial Garrison. She ducked inside it quickly to see a group of stormtroopers chatting in waiting area, helmets off. Four of the six looked exactly the same except for a few personal scars, clones, Mara thought to herself, and the other two were regular trained humans. “May I help you ma’am?” the head trooper, about twenty-five asked. “Yes, I need access to the supplies of this garrison,” Mara ordered. The men laughed. ‘Yes, and I would like to overthrow the Emperor and have dinner with his aids,” the trooper said and his comrade laughed harder except for the four clones who stood still. “Really, well, want to run that by me again?” she demanded, and the man laughed and walked toward her. “Sure, I’m going to kill the Emperor and then-” he started, but stopped when a high-powered vibro-dagger cut through his armor and into him. He fell with his last breathe escaping his lungs. She through her ID and clearance codes to the next ranking trooper. “Anyone else want to defy me or overthrow my master?” she demanded, and everybody nodded when they read her clearance codes. “We apologize for that, Mara Jade,” the clone told her. “Don’t call me that. Its Marie Davis,” she told the trooper and headed into the back room to get supplies. She locked the door and went to the undercover clothes section and pulled out a pair of high-strength jeans from a stack and a checkered climbing shirt, hiking boots, a hat, and a thin, white flim-suit. She quickly changed into the clothes, the flim-suit underneath. She then grabbed a shoulder holster, a small gun, and a ID-Slicer Book. She put on the holster and made ID’s for herself stating she was an archeologist from Duro. She then grabbed some blowing explosives, a multi-tool, a small vibro-dagger and sheath and concealed it in a small pocket in her boots, and sheathed her large vibro-knife she had taken from the trooper in her belt and grabbed a hip-holster and a small six-shot laser revolver, used by climbers and such. She grabbed spare energy-cells used as the energy for one shot, and belted them and holstered her pistol. She then grabbed a datapad, commlink, Card-copier, and some other tools of the trade. When she turned she saw five blaster pistols pointed at her body. “What?” Mara demanded. “The Emperor has given us an order to kill you on sight, for deserting and turning traitor,” the trooper said, and they aimed their shots. She grabbed the vibro-knife and turned it to full power and easily cut through the plasteel armor of the Storm Troopers. They fell soundlessly to the clean floor. Mara quickly grabbed a blaster and set it to explode by rewiring it and then set it near a large tank of flammable liquor. Mara then jumped down and headed for the door. She was barely down the street when the garrison exploded. More and more thing lit and more and more explosions came. She ran and screamed with the rest of the crowd. Mara Jade turned the corner only to have a blaster rifle leveled at her head. “Your death shall do me wonders,” a strange droid holding the gun to her head laughed. The mechanical finger began to squeeze the firing stud… -----signature----- THERE SHALL BE WIDESPREAD KILLING OF OBI-WAN!!!

	Well, i decided i throw it up and see how it goes. Please give me opinions and constructive critisisms. Section Two: The young girl dodged to the side as the old B1-Seiries Battle Droid pointed its blaster at Mara. The shot went wide and Mara cut its head off with her lightsaber. It fell loudly to the floor of the training facility deep inside what was left of the Jedi Temple. Defaced statues lingered around the place, and now a beheaded battle droid was added to the collection. “Good, Good, your anger makes you powerful. You are quick and agile, but powerful. Your best asset is your lightsaber and your ability to call upon the Force. Keep both of them with you,” the mutilated, cloaked form of Emperor Palpatine told her and pressed a small button. Twelve more battle droids entered, and mara Jade lifted her saber. The droids fired… Mara thought back on a strategy that would help her in this matter. She was ready to kill it when she reached for her lightsaber… and found nothing! “Jediscum!” she swore under he breathe, and before the blaster fired an ion blast shot the droid, and it fell to the floor. “Yoooourr DeeaTTTHHH Wiilllll do me Wande…” it said, malfunctioning and finally went silent. “Thanks,” Mara told the cloaked man coming towards her, putting his ion-blaster away. Mara reached down for the rifle and walked toward her rescuer and then stopped. HE had lifted his head and his hood fell back. She gasped and raised the rifle to be at him. It was the Jedi! He had no beard, but he was unmistakable. “What in Darth Vader’s helmet?” she demanded as she saw him. “Yes, Mara, a clone,” the cloned Jedi said, looking at her with death in his eyes. “Who made you? What do you want from me?” Mara demanded, stepping backwards to the fallen droid. “Your Master, the Emperor. He created, he mixed us, to perform one mission. Test the Emperor’s Hand. The thing is, I am not like my brother… I had some upgrades…” the Jedi-clone said as two mechanical arms unfolded from his cloak. He reached with his real hands into his cloak and took out two lightsabers. One was his, and the other was unmistakenly the Jedi-Clone’s that she ahd killed. One robot hand grabbed a blaster while the other took a familiar cylinder from his belt. He had her lightsbaer. Hate filled Mara. It fuled her, it strengthened her. “Okay, so you have one of my best assests, but I still have another… and a little something up my sleeve,” she whispered to herself and she called apon the Force, charged at the Jedi-Clone, her blaster falling out from her sleeve and into her waiting had. She jumped, and fired… The bio-robot, a downgraded version of a Sepratist General during the Clone Wars, lunged foreward, three lightsabers flailing. She lifted herlightsaber to attack but a fourth hand appeared and grabbed her saber. The sharp fingers cut into her hand. She cried out in pain and took out two blaster rifles and continued the barrage. Again and again she fired, and he deflected them all. Suddenly, she used the Force and returned her saber and another to her hands and cut the legs off the surprised bio-droid. She stabbed her saber into the ‘neck’ of the bio-robot and it stopped moving. -----signature----- THERE SHALL BE WIDESPREAD KILLING OF OBI-WAN!!!
