OOC: You can just assume that Hett is with the Tusken Raiders anyway. You don't need to wait for Cor.

IMO, though.

IC: Maul
~Jabba’s stronghold~


The saber stroke took him completely by surprise. It simply was… impossible. Unbelievable.

Infuriating!

And then he was falling, falling endlessly in darkness and pain. Only to find himself land hard on a stone cold floor, flat on his back. It made the white hot anger inside of him flare up even more, until he realized the pain was gone. The horrible, searing pain of that killing stroke was completely gone.

The darkness was still there though. Darkness and a cold, hard floor underneath him. No, not even a floor, he felt some rocks digging into his flesh.

Flesh? As in... his body?

Not at all how he had expected dead to be.

Something came falling from above him. In a reflex, not even thinking about it, he snatched it out of the air before it landed on him. Even without seeing it he immediately recognized the handle of his staff. Familiar, and whole. It shouldn’t have been whole, it should have been in two pieces - just like himself.

But he wasn’t, he was whole as well. And definitely in his own body, a true body, not… not dissolved, or something made out of the Force.

He felt… normal, the way he would feel after waking up. Definitely not how he had expected death to be.

“It doesn’t matter,” he hissed to the air around him. He was here, now and the Force was flowing through him, filling him, as it should. His ally, his instrument – until it betrayed him of course and he had been struck down by a mere Jedi apprentice. Not even the master. Oh, no, not the master at all.

That was a sweet thought to dwell on, the moment his staff had pierced the fool and he had seen the astonished look on his face.

Very sweet.

In one fluent move he jumped up, feet planted, staff in his hand, ready to be ignited. Since he felt as alive as before that cruel, painful blow, he would assume he was alive. And somewhere he didn’t recognize. A dark and damp place that felt… underground. Yes, he was somewhere under the ground, with rock sealing him in.

A tomb? Was his body resurrected by the Force as he lay somewhere in a tomb? No… it felt more like a hallway. Behind him, nothing much, only more rock. In front of him… ah, that’s where the air came from. That’s where an exit would be.

Then he sensed it, something else, life.

He grinned to himself, tightened the grip on his staff and quickly ran towards it. There, a light. Dim, hardly visible, but still a light in the utter darkness. He used Force speed for the last part and jumped at the opening he saw, just when a door came down from the ceiling, barring his way.

With a hiss of anticipation he powered up one half of his staff. He was about to cut through the door when he saw the control panel. He hit it and the door flew upwards as fast as it had come down. He climbed through bars that had been cut and looked at the hole in the gate in front of him. Strange….

Through it he saw a large shape in brown robes, holding a green lightsaber.

A Jedi. Oh, this was going to be good. He would carve the answers he needed about this place from the fool’s quivering hide.

He jumped through the hole and stopped, staring. He knew the Jedi standing in front of him. He knew him very well.

“You’re dead,” he spat.

That was when he realized he also knew the lightsaber the Jedi was holding.

The instrument of his own dead.

Immediately he ignited the other half of his staff as well. Forgotten was his need for answers.

With a negligent flick of his wrist he sent a Forcepush to the human in foolish suit who stood with the Jedi, a push that should effectively crush him against the wall, so he could concentrate completely on the Jedi in front of him.

“This time I’ll make sure you stay dead,” he growled.

OOC: Maul? oh boy. Now I really wish I'd had Batman practice with a lightsaber for defense. doh! Technically he could just grapple to safety and run away... whistling

I'll have several posts up later. Palpatine is still waiting on Vader though so please no one interact with him.

OOC: devil I felt he was lacking, since both Palpatine and Vader are around. And what can I say, he's a bit irritated right now laugh But you can do what you want with that Forcepush, Minch, even let it miss somehow. I have to admit I don't really know all Batman can do and how much protection his suit is.


IC: Mission Vao and Zaalbar
~House in Mos Eisley~

The head wound of the Ewok wasn’t all that hard to treat. After cleaning it, during which Mission drank most of the water given to her by Zaalbar, disinfecting it and putting a bandage around the Ewok's head, for which she had to take off his strange headgear, she pushed another canister of water in the Ewok’s good hand and started examining his arm.

She fervently hoped it wasn’t broken, because she had never set a bone before. She was carefully prodding it when she heard a crack, followed by some clanging and clattering noises.

“Zaalbar?” she asked.

[I didn’t do anything! I don't see why you always have to assume it’s me when you hear something break.]

“I assume, because most of the time it is you. You can be very clumsy, don’t deny it.”

[I'm not clumsy, just tall.]

"Yeah, sure, whatever." Mission was already on her way to where the noise was coming from, accompanied by a very strange sound, a laughing droid.

"Quiet!" she heard. Oh, no, it was Boba. Mission hurried toward him and looked in dismay when she found him half in a closet, with shelves, pots and pans, vegetables - and yuck, was that laundry? - all over him.

“Are you all right? Sorry, that was a stupid question.” She started getting the stuff off him, sneezing when dust billowed up. “Did you get dizzy or something?” she asked. “I’m so sorry, I knew I should have taken care of your head.”

She looked a bit closer to what was laying around. “Hey, at least you’ve discovered more food. Knowing Zaalbar he’ll have taken mostly meat from the cantina. Come on, let’s finally take care of that head wound and then I guess we should think about cooking. My stomach is telling me it's definitely getting close to late meal.”

[As long as you don’t cook,] Zaalbar growled from where he kept an eye on the human man and the Ewok.

Mission rolled her eyes at Boba. “Just because I let it burn one time.”

[You only tried to cook that one time.]

”Yeah, yeah. As if you’re any better.” She held out a hand to Boba. “Come on, I bet you can use a good drink of water as much as some antiseptic on that wound. Stars, I’m starting to feel like some healer assistant or something.”

OOC: With Veloz's approval

IC Darth Vader:

The darkness sang as the saber connected with the Jedi’s shoulder, just as she ducked my feint, but it remained unsatisfied. Perhaps the Jedi moving at the last moment made my aim less than true, but for whatever reason, the limb remained connected.

I was not going to settle for giving my enemy a minor burn, though. This was the Jedi who had had strong feelings for Kenobi, and, despite his own protestations to the contrary, those feelings were reciprocated. How much more delicious then, to bring about her end. Perhaps Kenobi would discover her body? If not, I would certainly leave him no doubt as to who had taken her from him.

If such a simple maneuver as the feint was sufficient to fool her, she could be no match for me. Like all Jedi, a sense of honor would prevent her from performing any sneak attacks or fully exploiting the Force. She managed to prove me wrong moments later when she aimed a strike at my legs, but even my small moment of hesitation brought about by surprise was not going to help her in battle against a Sith.

Just as the swing was about to connect, I jumped over it, then brought the pommel of my saber down into the top of her head. She crumpled to the sand. Why kill her outright? That was so limiting. I had suddenly come up with a much better use for her.

As I carried the Jedi to the speeder, my comm went off. “Lord Vader. Report.”

“Yes, my Master. I have captured a Jedi. I thought she could be used as bait for the others, at a location of your choosing.” I looked down at the unconscious form spread out in the back seat before I started the vehicle. “Kenobi had a special relationship with her.” This next was the part I would really enjoy. “I regret to inform you that Daala has proven herself a traitor. I came upon the Admiral traveling in a speeder with the Jedi in question, and when given a direct order to leave the Jedi to face justice, Daala brazenly attempted to save her and therefore deprive me of my prize.”

I drove away from Mos Eisley, waiting to hear my Master’s orders.

The Mynock-Coruscant

The astromech droid in the Mynock seemed to be nervous. It certainly showed the signs. He moved on his wheels back and forth, and even had a whistle accompanying it, as if it were regretting something.

Certainly not a quality Artoo-Deeto would display. He had done many brash actions in the past. Risked his mechanical hide for his masters. With no regrets,

Why was this any different? Because his master was in jeopardy, and while in the past he could pull off some miraculous stunt, he could do nothing here.

Yes, his Master. Skywalker-...Cade Skywalker.

When they first met, Artoo was downright insulted to be handed over by K'Kruhk. He saw him as a drug addict at first, really only following him due to his programming. He made his displeasure known when he could, however.

His opinion of him changed in time. He began to respect him, truly seeing him as hismaster, like he did with Luke and Anakin before him.

And now there was a good possibility that Cade would fail. He even told him, ordering him to only tell his crew, Jariah Syn and Delilah Blue, if he were to fail.

He quickly composed himself however. This was ridiculous. Here he was blubbering as if he were Threepio. He blamed that protocol droid for letting that rub off on him.

He was now confident, now waiting for Cade without much concern. Being left in charge of the ship he began to a systems check.

However, before he could even begin, the astromech was gone in a flash. Almost as if he were never there.



Mos Eisly

He did not know for how long the fall really was, but it felt like an etenity as he fell, screeching as he did. He finally landed with a thud, emitting the approximation of a groan.

He righted himself, taking in his surroundings. It was definetly not the Mynock. Not even Coruscant, for that matter.

He was on a different planet all together. That planet being...

...Tatooine? This was Mos Eisly, if he recalled it. Yet it seemed to be barren, the buildings dilapidated and it's inhabitants gone.

Not necessarily a hive of scum and villainy. The lifeform scanner had several blips, but he ignored them for now, for a figure caught his eye.

A gold plated protocol droid, to be exact. He could tell who it was anywhere....

...a friend, someone who he hadn't seen in quite a long time.

"BREEP DEEEP BOOOP BRRAAP!" To anyone nearby, it came out as incoherent whistles and beeps. But this was Binary, a language Threepio knew well, so it would come off as....

[Threepio! I haven't seen you in a while, you mindless philosopher!]

IC Jar Jar Binks:

A droid spoke from Jar Jar’s side. "From what my Master has gathered, it appears this has been happening across the planet, Senator Binks. Do not be frightened. The Count means you no harm...from what I have calculated, anyway. He could always change his mind I suppose."

The Count, meaning no harm? Jar Jar looked at the droid, then to Dooku, then back to the droid for a beat, before finally returning to the Count, eyes bulging even more than usual. Not very reassuring words, those last ones. As he turned away from the man who had caused so much bloodshed, he coughed, the wet hacking sound rather pitiful in the desert air.

He pointed at the handle stuck to the nearest man’s belt. “Yous mui, mui nutsen with doze! Boopjak! Daysa kill yous fer sure if Palpatine palos see.”

What was he to do about the leader of the Separatists, long dead, much like Dooku's opponent, more recently? Was he to trust the words of a droid that the man was trustworthy? He might have to, as he had no hope of arresting the man on his own.

“How getten here? My no know.” He looked at the others in turn. “Yous?”

“How getten here? My no know.” He looked at the others in turn. “Yous?”

"Due to a race called the Nebulans,apparently," the apprentice walked out of the homestead, remembereing the story Count Dooku told him.

Who, indeed, was drawing fire from the gungan senator. The fear was palpable.

"You have no need to fear the Count, as my droid just said. I assure you."

“Are you all right? Sorry, that was a stupid question.” She started getting the stuff off him, sneezing when dust billowed up. “Did you get dizzy or something?” she asked. “I’m so sorry, I knew I should have taken care of your head.

”Yeah, yeah. As if you’re any better.” She held out a hand to Boba. “Come on, I bet you can use a good drink of water as much as some antiseptic on that wound. Stars, I’m starting to feel like some healer assistant or something.”

“But we heven’t checked the house cleer yet.” Boba Fett wanted to explain the simple basics of entry into unfamiliar territory, struggling away uselessly as the twi’lek continued to clean dust off him, “What kind of place is Teris anyway? Wasn’t it danger’us et all?”

IC HK-47
House in Mos Eisley

With his little meat bag of a master distracted, the assassin droid found the opportunity to make a stealthy exit. His new master certaintly hadn’t told the droid he couldn’t step out for a moment. The rust colored droid went back into the street intent on finding the enigmatic golden protocol droid.

HK-47 was curious what exactly he would learn if he could only synch up with the other droids memory…even if by force if necessary, as much as he tried to avoid violence against his own kind.

The assassin droid was surprised to find another droid had made its appearance and spoke in excited binary at the golden humanoid shaped droid.

[Threepio! I haven't seen you in a while, you mindless philosopher!]

This new droid reminded the assassin droid far too much of the annoying T3-series utility…wait…suddenly HK-47 realized why the pieces of debris from earlier were familiar in his sensors. The had been difficult to recognize all blackened and broken.

“Greetings fellow superior entities!” HK-47 approached the two droids, “Query: Would you care to exchange data?”

IC: Emperor Palpatine

After several minutes had passed, Vader responded.


“Yes, my Master. I have captured a Jedi. I thought she could be used as bait for the others, at a location of your choosing. Kenobi had a special relationship with her.”


"Lord Vader. Your mission did not involve stray jedi. Your mission is to unite our allies and find Skywalker. I know you have not found Skywalker. I also presume you have not found the cause of our current situation. You have failed me Lord Vader. I am most disappointed."

He paused before continuing. "However, I have found Skywalker and everything has gone as I have foreseen. Your bungling has not caused any further damage, but after this jedi, you will abandon any further hunts for these insignificant jedi."

The Emperor grew tired of Vader's fetish for killing Jedi. It was beneath the sith lord. He waited for Vader to finish his report.

“I regret to inform you that Daala has proven herself a traitor. I came upon the Admiral traveling in a speeder with the Jedi in question, and when given a direct order to leave the Jedi to face justice, Daala brazenly attempted to save her and therefore deprive me of my prize.”


"That is unfortunate but hardly surprising. She was always Tarkin's pet and hardly a true servant of the Empire. Should she stand in your way again, you may use whatever force you deem necessary to achieve your mission."

He turned to look out at the sky. The suns were setting and the sky was growing dark. He liked the dark. There was no sign of Luke anywhere nearby. The boy was out of range. Palpatine could not feel anyone nearby. He opened himself fully to the dark side, allowing it to sustain him. He had not eaten since he had arrived. The dark side would satisfy his hunger and quench his thirst.

"Your mission remains the same. Find what brought us here. Summon our allies and any mercenary you find. But for the moment, you will leave Skywalker to me. In time he will come to you. I have foreseen it."

With that, Palpatine switched his commlink off and walked to a nearby cave. With a mere wave of his hand, the inhabitants found themselves flung out of the small cave and crushed against the rocks below. The emperor settled into a cross legged position and began to meditate. He looked to the future to determine his next move.

“Greetings fellow superior entities!” a rust colored droid approached the two droids, obviously of masculine programming. “Query: Would you care to exchange data?”

Artoo swiveled between the new arrival and Threepio in front of him. He could see some sort of semblance between them maybe...

...except this droid was toting a rather large blaster.

"BEEEP BOOP BAWWP BAAAP," he turned to Threepio, slightly confused. ["Threepio, you know him?"]

“Will you shut up before someone starts shooting again or I’ll shoot you myself!”


See Threepio surveyed the young woman in front of him. She was a teenager and she was armed. She and her large wookiee companion who lacked the warmth or friendliness of Chewbacca were starting to herd others into the nearby building as the suns had begun to set.


“Oh dear yourself"
The girl replied to the droid's exclamation. She added "Okay, I’m going to take this little one inside now. He needs his wounds taken care off. And I can really, really use a tall drink of water by now. More than one.'

He calculated that it would be unwise to upset her especially since Captain Solo was wounded and unable to protect him and Master Luke had gone off somewhere and not returned. He had not even seen Princess Leia but from what others had said, she seemed to be in even more danger than he was in. He longed for a friendly face.

As if on cue, a loud squeal followed by a thud immediately caught the protocol droid's attention. His photoreceptors brightened in an effort to mimic the human expression of surprise.

"Thank the maker! Artoo Deetoo!" the droid exclaimed. He immediately began shuffling towards his old friend. He was saved!

The droid righted itself and turned to face Threepio


[Threepio! I haven't seen you in a while, you mindless philosopher!]


Threepio paused as he noticed his friend. He seemed...older. His parts weren't as shiny and some parts seemed to be either new or missing. This was not the Artoo Deetoo from his time.

"Artoo. I'm so glad to you're here. Master Luke has been kidnapped and Captain Solo has been wounded. And Princess Leia may need our help!"

As he finished saying this, the strange assassin droid walked up to the pair.

"Greetings fellow superior entities!"

The protocol droid let out a mechanical groan. He wasn't sure how much longer he could feign godhood. And with the strange droid so close, he couldn't pass on his concerns to Artoo. The assassin droid turned to the two and said

"Query: Would you care to exchange data?"


Threepio's systems internally shrieked with alarm. He had finally determined the model of this strange droid.

Artoo turned to Threepio and asked.

["Threepio, you know him?"]

"Not exactly. If my databanks are correct, this is an HK droid. Judging by the model, it appears to be an HK-47. This is a primitive model and it has long been obsolete by our time period."

Threepio had shuffled behind Artoo placing the small astromech droid between himself and the HK droid. If he was correct, the assassin droid would not be pleased to be referred to as obsolete. Thankfully, Threepio was sure his old friend still carried plenty of surprises to keep the other droid from deactivating poor Threepio.

"Artoo. I'm so glad to you're here. Master Luke has been kidnapped and Captain Solo has been wounded. And Princess Leia may need our help!"

Now Artoo was confused. He had noticed something different about Threepio. He had almost the exact specifications during the Second Corellian Crisis...

...was he in the past? He was sure Threepio was activated at that time...

...or was he just reactivated now?

He tried to come to a logical conclusion, but nothing seemed to make sense. Yet, at present, there were more pressing matters at hand.

He would ask Threepio later. He must've arrived much sooner.

"BEEEP BOOOP BOWWWP!" ["Do you know where Leia is? I can't pick up anything on my lifeform scanner."]

He kept his photoreceptor on HK-47, making sure he didn't try anything foolish. Then he'd have to use his droid deactivator...


TAG: Threepio, HK-47, any
