.As you can see, Lord Vader, the freighter behaved ..."

"Like a starfighter
"

OOOOOHHHHHHH!!

A common smuggler," The derision layered thickly over his augmented voice. "with an uncommon pilot. ... foolish Jedi..


I can hear James Earl Jones voice in this dialogue . This is the Vader from the OT. He would recognize the move he did one similar to Grievious in the Labrynth of Evil. I hope Camren can shake Vader off the scent. Most Jedi were unable to. The tension is still running high between Nala and Camren.
To wake up this morning to a post was a real treat. Thanks for the plethora of posts.

PadwanKayla: Vader's been lurking in the background for some time now. whistling His first appearance was a while back when Ripper was set after Camren... but he was referred to indirectly. I'm glad you're enjoying the story!

jpauln: See my reply to PadwanKayla about Darth Vader. wink And I agree totally. George Lucas really, REALLY needed a script doctor for the prequel romance. It's telling that he had one for The Empire Strikes Back. Plus, he totally blew the tension in TPM with that 'I'm going to marry you' quip. He should have left us wondering!

obsessedwithSW: Thank you! I was trying hard to channel Vader there and his hatred for lawlessness and the Jedi. I've read Labrynth of Evil and Rise of the Dark Lord and am trying to work a bit of that in, hence why DV initially sent Ripper out after Camren. The Emperor is keeping him on a short leash at the moment, trying to hone his frustration and anger. Kind of like taunting a mad dog just shy of his reach.

A big hugs and thanks to everyone who's kept with the story so far, lurker or not!

Oh, no, Vader is onto him!

I truly hope that if Vader sees Silence, he will remember his own children (though he has not met them) and will be merciful.

Good job! applause

MoeTheran: Camren was right, Nala isn't 'like that'. wink Of course, what she -is- like may fill in considerable gaps in his Temple education... thinking

Luna_Nightshade: Oh, there are plans.... devil However, you may have to wait for the sequels....

----- Corellian Sector, Nar Shaddaa -----

"I feel naked." Revek muttered in a hushed tone to his companion as they made their way through the litter-strewn walkways of the infamous Smuggler's Moon. His Jedi training had conditioned him to endure any number of minor discomforts such that the chill in the city-moon's air was less than nothing to his awarness, as was the skittering of his long beaded braids across his shoulders and back. It was the attention he was drawing that set his guard on edge.

For her part, the woman with him offered a rather unsympathetic, teasing smile. "But," Nala whispered back, "you look gorgeous. And deadly." She ran a single magenta fingertip up his bare arm, tracing the swirls of the ralltiir tiger painted up the length of his right arm and across his shoulderblade. The tail of the beast continued across his other shoulder and encircled his throat. He flinched away before she got as far as his elbow, glad of the time spent darkening the rest of his already tanned skin. It would make it harder for others to see the blush he felt rise and quickly pushed back.

"Stop that!" the shirtless Jedi hissed lowly, without malice. He couldn't help but suspect that this diguise the Zeltron had beseiged him with had ulterior motives. He couldn't help but suspect that Nala -always- had ulterior motives. However, he'd been unable to find a practical reason against having his hair bleached to the same golden blonde as his infant ward's curls. Things had snowballed from there to include the long braids held back by a leather band at the nape of his neck, woven into his hair skillfully by the woman herself.

The only argument he'd won was over his pants. What had originally been presented to him was nothing short of scandelous and would have allowed no opportunity for him to conceal the familiar hilt of his lightsaber, and he'd assured the Zeltron woman that he wasn't leaving the ship without it. The trousers were loose and comfortable, tucked into his boots and a wide scarlet sash belted his waist. He brushed his hand over the concealed weapon, and hoped he wouldn't have to use it.

"How much farther to this slicer of yours?" Revek inquired after they'd descended a few more levels into the dank pit of 'civilization'. He didn't like being so far from the ship, despite all Nala's reassurances that Raanan could look after Silence just fine. This so-called 'quick little errand' was taking too long.

The captain of the Twilight Queen hadn't taken nearly the pains with her own appearance as she had in attempting to strip anything even remotely Jedi-like from Revek's own image. Not that she had to. Her usual flightsuit clung to the curves of her sinuous figure like a second skin, and with the shaggy furred vest she'd donned atop it, she was, ironically, more clothed than he was. She didn't bother giving his question an answer as she took his arm and pulled him towards the entrance of a seedy, rundown bar.

"Be quiet and look lethal." were her final instructions as she let go his wrist and started to manuever through the motley crowd. He followed with an inward sigh, and attempted to compose his face into a grim expression. When she chose a seat at a just vacated booth, he didn't join her. Instead, he stood just beside her, folding his arms and needing no excuse to survey the gathered dregs of the galaxy in his assumed role as bodyguard.

"Won't be long now," Nala promised in a low whisper, and then turned a dazzling smile at the lone green Verpine sitting at the bar.

----- Spaceport, Nar Shaddaa -----

"I have found the freighter, my Lord." Ripper stood before the comm unit in his small transport, reptilian eyes on the shimmering hologram of Darth Vader. "It is the same one that Camren Fuhl boarded at Mos Eisley." That information had come from Jabba's network. It had been one of five vessels to depart Tatooine in the right direction and time period to be intercepted by the Vindicator. It had been one of two that had shown any indication of passengers. He had not, however, shared these conclusions with the crimelord. The blinking green light on the console assured him that his channel was still encrypted, and that he was still a step ahead of that miserable slug.

"You have contacted me to confirm the Jedi's death?" the Sith Lord's low voice rumbled from the speakers. The implications of his words were clear and the warlord's patience short.

Ripper gnashed his teeth in frustration and gritted out the answer he knew was wrong. "No, my Lord. Not yet. There are complications..."

"I am not interested in your complications, bounty hunter. Only your results."

The Dashade supressed a low growl. "Understood, Lord."

"Be certain you do." with those final menacing words, the transmission was severed.

The hunter released his pent up snarl and stabbed one clawed finger at the station's controls. The clear high signal of a tracking device filled the small cabin. When the Twilight Queen left Nar Shaddaa, and the reach of the Hutts, he'd have them.

---- Rimmer's Rest -----

The Verpine, as it turned out, was precisely who Captain Nala had come to see. Revek had learned of their technical expertise many years ago, but this was the first time he'd had occasion to meet a member of that insectoid species. The slicer and the smuggler were deep into their negotiations over the price of his services when the earstwhile Jedi Knight felt a familiar tingling sensation in the back of his mind.

It had everything to do with the quintet of roughnecks slowly closing in on their booth. Revek casually loosed his arms from their crossed position, allowing one hand to brush his hidden lightsaber once again, and the other to glance across the Zeltron woman's shoulder. He rested his palm flat on the corner of the table, his five fingers spread, and hoped he'd got the signals right. His gaze remained alert to the cantina at large, tracking the three humans, Twi'lek, and Rodian as they edged nearer. Perhaps if Nala hurried, they could avoid this fight.

Nala was nothing if not proficient at maintaining the illusion that she was completely unaware of that necessity. She took her time considering the Verpine's last quote, forcing herself to ignore the alarm and urgency rolling off the Jedi's psyche. Finally judging that she'd hesitated long enough to make it look good, she scowled and tossed a credit case on the table. It slid across to rest at the Verpine's left claws. "It's hyperway robbery, but it's all there, Skeeve. The datacard?"

The Verpine's chitinous face couldn't smile, but she could sense the satisfaction oozing from his armored frame. "Pleasure doing business," his vocabulator translated, as he pushed the card over.

"The pleasure's all mine." she forced herself to purr as she rose, tucking the three new transponder codes safely away down the front of her suit. "C'mon, 'Vek." She slid her arm around his waist and leaned in close. "I feel like having a little fun."

Revek arched a now-blonde eyebrow in surprise, then mentally smacked himself. Glancing back at the Verpine, he offered with a shrug "Captain's orders..." He attempted to cover his lapse with a broad grin, looping his own arm around the Zeltron's waist in a manner he hoped was not too awkward as he started to lead her out of the bar.

He caught another glimpse of their would-be assailants out of the corner of his eye, and noted the halt of their progress. It would take them time to regroup, but not much. He intended to make very sure he and Nala had disappeared by then.

Once they'd stepped out into the marginal freshness of the moon's recircuilated air, the Jedi Knight lead the Zeltron several paces from the run-down cantina before ducking into a narrower passage, dragging the magenta woman with him. "Fastest way back?" Revek asked quietly, released Nala and keeping an alert gaze on the main route.

To his chagrin, the captain of the Twilight Queen was still a fixture against his side, her other arm joining the first around his waist. "We came here that way." Nala whispered back.

Revek felt something cool against his ribs, and groped at it one-handed. "Thanks." he whispered, palming the hold-out blaster. "Any other ideas?" He spared a glance for his companion, and sighed at the aggressive glint in her deep violet eyes. "Besides fighting. We don't have time."

The woman rolled her eyes with a snort and pushed away from him. "Spoilsport." she muttered, then started further down the alley. "This cuts over to the next passage. We'll have to loose them that way."

Revek Faidhe nodded his agreement and followed after.

I just love what women come up with while dressing men, Of course, Nala had ulterior motives silly Jedi. If I could a get away with it, I would love to spend the time staring at a great set of pectorals and abs. Nala must be at least 30 to have the confidence to pull this one off. cool

The only argument he'd won was over his pants. What had originally been presented to him was nothing sort of scandelous and would have allowed no opportunity for him to conceal the familiar hilt of his lightsaber, and he'd assured the Zeltron woman that he wasn't leaving the ship without it.
Glad he put a foot down somewhere, a man loses his appeal when he isn't a challenge.
Great chemistry between the two. A very fun post! I have to tell you Rebelgrrl this has become my favorite story on the board right now. love

I love the interaction between these two strong characters. It’s delightful how shaken/flustered Reven seems to get by Nala’s actions. Love it. Perfect way for a Jedi to react though.

Seedy bars have such a wonderful underworld flavor. And Ripper is right on their track. Fabulous movement to this story! applause

PadwanKayla: Thank you! For all the time Revek/Camren fought in the Clone Wars, there's still parts of life he didn't get exposed to. wink

obsessedwithSW: Nala is definitely the 'older woman'. laugh As for putting his foot down, part of being Jedi is knowing how to pick your battles. And your favorite story? blush Awww! Thanks!
