My first Star Wars fan fic. A star wars fan fic, man that sounds strange for someone named DCfan100, ah what the heck. Anyway, I think this is the first story of it's kind but then again it's probably not. Anyway, the first story of this chapter is basically setting the stage so don't expect a lot. So, here is chapter 1, I hope you enjoy and please review.
Disclaimer: I might own star wars *gets shot at by lawyers* Ah! Fine I don't own Star Wars!
Boba walked slowly inside the compound along with the vicious bounty hunter Bossk. Both had been accused of attempted murder. Boba had a feeling that since he was a minor that he might be allowed to live, but Bossk…well Bossk was definitely toast. 'How had this happened?' Boba asked himself. He'd let himself trust that harpy, Aurra Sing that's what Boba thought spitefully. Suddenly, the large reptilian prisoner in front of him tripped and fell to his knees with a slight grunt.
"Get up" one of the clones commanded in an irritated tone. Bossk just growled then gave a creepy snake like grin before snapping the magnetic cuffs holding his hands together and bashing the clone right beside him.
"How the hel…" one clone started, but that was as far as he got before Bossk threw the body of one of the unconscious clones into him.
"Guard the other one!" One clone yelled raising his rifle as Bossk started to sprint away.
"Bossk!" Boba called after him.
"Sorry Kid!" Bossk cackled back rounding a corner just as a hail of blaster bolts flew past the area where Bossk had just stood.
"How did he break free?" One clone demanded sounding the alarm at a control panel nearby.
"Just alert the general!" The other one shouted.
"Something is troubling you Ahsoka?" Plo Koon asked sitting down beside Ahsoka just outside the prison. Not to far away stood Mace and Anakin who were currently conferring with a clone commander.
"It's that bounty hunter we captured earlier" Ahsoka sighed.
"The trandoshan?" Plo Koon said with a curious tone. If Kel Dorians had eyebrows, Plo would have had both of them raised.
"No, the other one. He was just a kid, probably a teenager like me and he tried to kill Master Windu. I understand that his father was killed and all…but does that justify what he tried to do? I feel sorry for him but…I'm just confused. Does that make him evil?" she groaned slightly shaking her head.
"Ahsoka, there are many…" Plo began.
"General!" One of the clone commanders shouted rushing out of the prison. Immediatley, Anakin, Mace, Plo and Ahsoka's heads to snap to attention.
"The prisoners have escaped!" the clone said urgently.
"Both of them?" Anakin asked his eyes narrowing.
"No sir, just the trandoshan, the clone cadet is…wait" The trooper said placing two fingers on the com-link installed in his helmet "Well…it appears…that the other prisoner has escaped as well."
"Which way are they headed?" Mace demanded.
"Bossk is headed for the southern exit, we're not sure where the other one is"
"Skywalker! You're with me!" Mace said as Anakin gave a quick nod. "Master Koon I need you and Ahsoka to patrol the western corridors outside the prison, there are a few hanger bays there where Fett could try and commandeer a ship"
"Of course" Plo said as he and Ahsoka quickly rushed off towards the western hanger bays.
"Commander! Initiate the lockdown sequence!" Mace commanded.
Boba was breathing heavily as he rushed through the long gray halls trying to find a way out. How had he managed to escape? Dumb luck, that's how. He'd managed to pick up one of the fallen guards guns, pull the trigger and score a direct hit despite the limited maneuverability the cuffs allowed him. He glanced around, he knew he'd exited the prison itself, he'd ran past the last set of doors not two seconds before they slammed shut, but the question now was where he had to go from there. Suddenly, he stopped and sniffed the air. 'Fuel!' he thought. There had to be a hanger bay nearby. Quickly following his nose, he discovered he was right. Boba scanned the room and quickly spotted a speeder, the type that the Coruscant security droids used. 'That' Boba thought, 'Is my ticket out'
"Let me know if you see anything and after you're done with the sweep of the area do it again until we get the all clear signal from Master Windu" Plo Koon said over the com-link.
"Will do Master Koon, Ahsoka out" she replied. Ahsoka had already complete her sweep of the first hanger bay and was heading for the second when she suddenly spied a figure in the hanger running towards the speeders. Too quickly to be a police droid and two small to be a full grown clone, that had to be him. Quickly igniting her lightsaber, Ahsoka sprinted towards the figure with the force. "Stop!" she shouted pointing the lightsaber at his back. Hearing the sound of the lightsaber Boba slowly turned around.
"Alright Jedi but let…" he stopped and looked at her curiously "You're just a kid" he scoffed.
"So are you" she pointed out.
"Have I seen you somewhere before?" he asked suddenly.
"Um, yeah I think you tried to kill me before" Ahsoka said with a slight smirk.
"Oh…um, yeah, sorry about that" Boba said, he had no idea why he was apologizing. Maybe it was the fact he'd never really had any teenage opponents.
"Uh, don't worry about" Ahsoka said. She wasn't used to fighting teenagers either. "Well, I guess I'm going to have to turn you in now" she said almost reluctantly.
"Yeah," Boba sighed "You do what you have to" he muttered softly. This caught Ahsoka by surprise.
"Why did you try to kill Master Windu?" she asked suddenly. Now it was Boba's turn to be surprised.
"I wanted justice, he killed my father" Boba answered quickly and simply.
"That's not justice, that's vengeance" Ahsoka answered. "Besides, it's war time, and like it or not" she said her voice softening "People die, believe me, I know how it feels to lose someone close to you" There was a long awkward silence between the two and then for some reason that Ahsoka couldn't explain, she lowered her lightsaber. "Go" she said quietly.
"What?" he asked surprised. Ahsoka lifted he lightsaber back up and quickly cut the restraints holding Boba's hand together.
"You're free to go" Ahsoka said smiling at him.
"Why? Why would you do this for me?" he asked.
"You lost your father, you've been betrayed and abandoned and I think you deserve better" she said still smiling.
"Thanks" he said finally smiling back at her. He took two steps towards the speeder before turning back "Why don't you come with me?" he asked.
"Huh?" Ahsoka asked raising an eyebrow.
"You're not like the other jedi I've met, you're…well a lot nicer, I think you deserve better"
"Thanks but…we all have a place in the universe and mine is right here" The two looked at each other then Boba gave a reluctant nod.
"I hope we can meet up again someday" Boba said giving her one last wave before quickly rushing off towards his speeder.
"So do I" Ahsoka whispered. "Master Plo" she said activating her com-link "There's no one here, I'm starting my sweep of the area again."
