	Chapter XVI - Déjà Vu cont'd The rest of the journey to the crash site was in silence. Neither Jaxon nor Veers spoke again about Alderaan or any other subject concerning the morality of the Empire and the Rebellion. It was apparent to Veers that it was not wise to anger the elder rebel. As he concluded from observations of Jaxon and Sid. Jaxon gave Sid the occasional glance, almost like a boy trying to say ‘it was not my fault he started the argument’. Sid would return that glance with his own irritated glare. Or maybe he was putting too much into a small thing? Whatever it was, Sid was going to be as much of a problem as Jaxon was. The rebel was the only thing between him and Jaxon and should he suddenly lose the meager protection he got from Sid because he had ticked the man off... Well the future would look pretty grim for him that is for certain. After a day and a half of travel since his capture, they finally arrived at the Imperial shuttle crash site. “I just can’t seem to get away from this place.” He comments upon arriving at the site. It had not changed one bit since he was last there four days ago. Has it been that long? He thought as he took a glance around the place. There was the tree trunk he had hid behind; the scorch marks were still there from the blaster shots that had been meant for him. The shuttle-made gorge still looked as it did except in the area where blaster bolts had dug into the dirt and he had climbed out from to make his escape. The shuttle still looked as it did when he had ran from it in fright for his life and later out of pure fear from the grisly sight inside. The only thing that was different was that this time there was no identical Imperial shuttle with the Rebel insignia on its dorsal fin. In its place was a troop transport and an alien with a human, or what looked to be a human, standing next to the transport. The alien was the same Wookiee he had encountered the last time he had been here. The human, Veers concluded, apparently was the Wookiee’s companion and was the same one he had shot while making his escape. Now that he had the time, the Colonel studied the human carefully. She was tall and slender. She wore cloths that did not identify her as part of the rebellion. Her hair was braided in several strands and decorated with some kind of bead. She had the strangest pair of boots that did not follow the shape of her feet like his own did. At the heels of these boots were two claw like protrusions. The purpose of these, Veers could only guess. The Wookiee roared something in his language as the group approached the transport. The female human next to him laid a hand on his furry arm, as if she understood what the Wookiee had said and was trying to mediate the problem before it began. Maximilian Veers did not like the snarl on the furball’s face and wondered if the threat he had received earlier had anything to do with the female. Sid escorted the Imperial Colonel toward the rebel transport and the Wookiee woofed a comment at the approaching group. “No, Raanarraaka, his time will come later.” The elder rebel replied. “You understand him?” Veers asked the obvious. “What did he say?” “Yes, I understand him.” Sid replied and pushed Veers up the boarding ramp of the transport. “You had harmed his ward, Leilonia,” he gestures toward the female standing next to the Wookiee, “and feels that it is his right to pull your arms out.” “So that is why he broke off the chase.” Veers muttered under his breath. Raan sniffed and growled an incoherent phrase in Shyriiwook at the Colonel. To Veers it sounded almost like the Wookiee wanted to eat him. I wouldn’t be surprised. He thought and sniffed indignantly in reply. “I am so glad this dang mission is over with.” Jaxon said as he entered the ship and helped escort the Colonel into the passenger compartment. He took great pleasure in securing the Imperial to one of the seats. “I’ll be glad to be rid of you.” Veers sneered, trying not to grimace as the young rebel purposely tightened his restraints. “Oh no. You won’t have gotten rid of me that easily, Imperial.” Jaxon replied with a sinister smile. “I’ll be there to execute you after High Command finds you guilty for your crimes against the galaxy.” “Fat chance that will happen.” Veers said defiantly. “Jaxon.” Sid called warningly and motioned for the Alderaanian to sit down. “Just watch him.” “Yeah, yeah.” Jaxon sat down on the side bench and held a blaster ready in a lazy manner. Veers noted the overconfidence in the young man. He knew Jaxon probably believed that he had restrained the Colonel just enough that he would not be a threat. I shall enjoy proving him wrong. Use him to escape before they reach the Great Temple. He heard Exar Kun whisper to him. Maximilian lifted his gaze slightly and concentrated on listening to his Master. He has yet to get use to calling someone, especially a dead Sith, Master. Even if I could influence him, what about the Wookiee and that girl? Trust me. Exar replied. Use the only advantage you have over the blockhead. Ah. I see. Veers understood where Kun was going when he meant to influence Jaxon. He heard the engines of the transport start up. The whine of the engines' crescendos to its peak and the Imperial could feel the transport lift off the ground. He did not have much time left before he was finally in the Rebellion’s hands completely. He could feel Leilonia’s eyes on him as she studied him. Something about her told him to tread carefully when making his escape. The Wookiee was silent and also watched him. Veers had never felt so much malice and suspicion on him all at once before. For once in his life, he wished he were not an officer of the Empire. He did not enjoy having so many people hate him because he served a government they believed was evil and corrupt. He let out a soft sigh as he prepared to play on Jaxon’s emotions. “You know. Now that I think about it, I praise Grand Moff Tarkin for destroying Alderaan. The people are nothing but a bunch of stuck-up snobs anyway.” “Shut the frell up, sithspawn.” Jaxon snapped and lifted his blaster a little less lazily. Must keep him from using that thing. Leave that to me. Exar said and Veers wondered how the ghost was going to accomplish that. “See what I mean?” Veers continued. “They think the entire galaxy owes them everything. Well I say the galaxy is better off without their lot.” The Wookiee roared a warning at the Colonel, but he ignored it. He noticed Leilonia tilting her head to the side lightly as she still studied him. “You should not be talking, Corellian.” She finally said and Veers now understood why he felt so uneasy with her watching him. She apparently had a talent for figuring out whom you are and where you are from by just watching and listening to you. “I beg your pardon?” Veers said. “I am not a Corellian.” “You’re accent says otherwise.” She replied. “Corellians were always a bunch of reckless fools.” “I live there, but by birth I am not a Corellian.” Veers corrected in annoyance. He was not supposed to be receiving the insults and end up angry. “What are you? You are obviously not human.” “I am as human as you are.” She replied, offended at being implied she was an alien. “I am a Lorrdian.” Uh oh, this could be a problem. He had heard of the Lorrdians back at the Academy during a psychology class. The instructor was teaching his class at the time about reading facial expressions and gestures and how you could use it to understand a person or their intentions. It was where he learned about the Lorrdians and their uncanny ability to read expressions and gestures. And how they used that ability to rebel against their slave masters, the Argazdans. He would have to really tread carefully around her. If he so much as twitched or smirked the wrong way that reveals his intentions to her, he was doomed. But I can’t give up now. I am not a quitter. “So you know where I have been living these past years.” He shrugs in his crash webbing. Veers returns his attention back to Jaxon. He needed to anger the rebel to do what he wanted. “As I said, Alderaanians are nothing but stuck up, rich snobs with nothing better to do then complain and rebel when they don’t get their way.” “Imperials are a bunch of arrogant reeks.” Jaxon snapped back pathetically. “The one that is arrogant around here is you, Alderaanian!” Veers replied back calmly. He added an annoying smirk to his passive expression to egg Jaxon on. “A pity you did not die along with the rest of them.” “Pity you didn’t die with the rest of your evil kind.” Jaxon retorted as he stood up. He waved the blaster in Veers’ direction dangerously and the Colonel thought that the rebel might use it. “Then why don’t you finish the job where your pilot friends failed.” “Gladly.” Jaxon lifted his blaster and the Wookiee roared at him. The rebels exchanged glances and words. “Fine. I won’t use the blaster then! I’ll just choke the life out of him.” “Another trait of the Alderaanians.” Veers quickly put in before Jaxon could move to throttle him. “Cowardice and lack of honor!” “Like you know anything about that.” Jaxon snapped. “You want to kill me! Then kill me like a man!” Veers shouted back and pulled against his crash webbing for added affect. “Release me and kill me in a honorable fight!” “Jaxon don’t.” Warned Leilonia. She began to slowly stand up, as she finally understood what the Colonel was trying to do. And it was working too. TO BE CONTINUED...

	Chapter XVI - Déjà Vu cont'd Jaxon ignored the Lorrdian as he shoved his blaster into Veers jaw and undid the webbing’s clasps. “I’m tired of hearing your crap.” The rebel hissed at Veers as the last clasp came undone. “I’m gonna beat some respect into you and when I’m done you won’t ever slander the name of my people ever...” He was cut off as Veers shoulder slammed into his stomach. Jaxon yelped in surprise as both he and the Colonel fell away from the seats and into the compartment bulkhead. Before Jaxon could respond to the surprise attack, Veers uppercut the young rebel in the chin with both cuffed fists, sending him crumbling to the floor with a pained groan. An enraged Wookiee battle cry howl was the Imperial’s only warning before he found himself slammed against the adjacent wall. The world exploded in a flash of bright white light and quickly followed by a searing pain in the back of his skull. It felt like someone had taken a sonic-sledge hammer and smashed it against the base of his skull. The compartment tilted and sagged as he tried to regain some footing underneath him. Raan approached with a deadly purpose and a shouted warning in Veers mind from Exar Kun saved his life from a huge, clawed swipe from the furred alien. Veers rolled out of the way and climbed back to his feet. He saw, out of the corner of his perceptual vision, Jaxon stand back up with a look of pure rage on his face. The young rebel charged, climbing over the set of seats in his path and leapt at the Colonel. But Veers denied the rebel a successful leap and tackle. Jaxon flew through the air and was propelled into the bulkhead as his target side stepped out of the way and grabbed him by the shirt, flinging him forward in the process. Jaxon once again crumbled to the floor, but this time unconscious and with a nasty cut on his forehead. Veers had no time to gloat over his small triumph. The Lorrdian came at him with a sidekick that connected with his chest, an audible crack was heard as Veers already fractured ribs finally snapped under the pressure. Unable to breathe, he found himself assaulted by a determined Leilonia. She came at him with a semi-roundhouse kick that he tried to block with his forearm, but the protrusions on her boot ankles sliced cleanly through his jacket and flesh. Now I know what those things are for. He thought grimly as he fought for air and clutching his injured arm to his stomach as best as he could for someone who is restrained. Leilonia did not stop, she attacked him with a front kick that sent him stumbling backwards into the cockpit door. Dazed and hurting, Veers straightened his posture just as the door behind him hissed open. “WHAT is going on in here!” He heard Lana demand in a very irritated voice behind him. A Wookiee roar cut off Leilonia’s reply as the big alien pushed her aside and slammed into Veers. Raanarraaka, Veers, and Lana fell back into the cockpit. “What the frell!” Sid exclaimed from the pilot’s seat, staring flabbergasted at the tangle mess between him and the co-pilots seat. Veers struggled with the Wookiee, the impact had done something inside his chest and he could breathe once again. Kun! Help me, kriffit! Maximilian Veers yelled at the dead Sith Lord. Raan had wrapped his hands around the Colonel’s throat and was choking him with strength that if it did not relent soon; Veers’ windpipe would be crushed. “Raan!” Sid shouted and received an irritated roar in response. “Stop!” The Wookiee continued to throttle the Colonel with determination. Veers was just as determined to free himself of the alien’s grasp. As Lana had moved out from under Veers, he had stopped struggling in trying to loosen the Wookiee’s grip. Instead he reached for Lana’s sidearm and grabbed onto the leather holster. “Hey!” She shouted when she felt her blaster slip free of its holster. A blaster whine and a deafening pained roar were heard. The Wookiee let go of Veers and sat up in pain, a smoking wound stained its fur-covered body. A second shot impacted the alien in the face and Raan fell over backwards, two scorching wounds marking its death. “NOOOoooo!” Shouted the Lorrdian. Veers coughed as he stood. He pointed the blaster at Leilonia but she paid no heed to the weapon and kicked at him. Her foot impacted against his hand holding the blaster and a ruby blaster bolt ricocheted through the cockpit before it finally smashed into Sid’s controls. Veers felt the ship take a sudden plunge after sparks danced and flew across the flying controls. “You fool!” Sid shouted and turned in his seat to grab for the weapon. “You destroyed the controls!” “Good!” Veers replied. He pushed against the console as gravity tried to press him against it. The ship began to shake and the familiar whine of a ship free falling through sky is heard. Lana attempted to get into the co-pilots controls but Veers stopped her short with a blaster bolt to the arm. "I am not going to become a prisoner of the rebellion!” He shouted over the noise. “I would rather die and take you with me than rot in some slime hole you call a cell!” The ship shook hard as it clipped a tree, everyone not restrained were tossed aside. Veers blaster went clattering and settled underneath a seat. He moved to grab for it but found himself floating in mid-air as if he were out in space without artificial gravity. The view outside the window was a spinning mass of swirling sky, earth, and trees as the transport plunged to earth. “You are going to get your wish, Imperial!” Leilonia hissed at him, grabbing onto Veers injured arm and pulling him to her. “But you can go first! At least then I will have the pleasure knowing you are dead before me.” “Quit wasting my time.” He replied just before impact. Both he and Leilonia were thrown through the cockpit door and back into the passenger compartment. The transport screeched and snapped through trees as it skidded across the earth in a mad dash. When it was over with, a lengthy trail of upturned ground and snapped trees traced its fatal trajectory. TO BE CONTINUED...

	Oopsie, I just noticed something with that last update. I accidently left out a paragraph and a sentence at the very beginning. Fixed that mistake.
