Son of Bagge
Chapter 1: Escaping the Clone Troopers
It was quite an average day out in the country area of Nowhere. Eustace was the only one who wasn't enjoying himself, whereas Muriel was having a wonderful picnic with Courage. As the pink dog drank more tea, she then decided to pour more into Courage's cup.
"Here's some more tea for you Courage" said Muriel with joy.
Courage simply nodded as she poured the tea in his cup.
"Bah, this is completely stupid, I should be back at home watching the television, me favorite show must be on by now" complained Eustace.
"Oh come on Eustace, why don't you relax for awhile?" asked Muriel, "I'm sure we'll make it home in time to watch your favorite show."
Yet up above in the depths of space, things were not going well. A Republic vessel carrying a notorious son of a dead bounty hunter known as Jango Fett was causing trouble. Jango's cloned son Boba was wrecking havoc for clone troopers whom were trying to keep him in line. The clone commander himself wasn't pleased with the Republic's new policies on jailed fugitives receiving rehabilitation; he and his men were pinned down by some crates in the hangar room trying to stop Boba from fleeing.
"That kid is causing too much trouble, he couldn't have been one of us!" cried the clone commander.
"Sir, we're having trouble here, he's beating up our men!" cried another clone trooper as suddenly Boba Fett himself came right up toward the clone trooper and knocked him right out, "No, wait!"
With one swipe of Boba's fist, the clone trooper was knocked unconscious, and it seemed like the clone commander was next on his list.
"Don't come any closer!" cried the clone commander as he was aiming his blaster at Boba.
"You guys made a big mistake for taking me out of that prison for rehab" said Boba, "where are the escape pods?"
"Escape pods, why haven't you taken any of the ships that have been docked?" asked the clone trooper who was a bit surprised by that remark.
"Let's just say I got this place wired up ready to go" continued Boba to which the self-destruct alarm began to ring off.
"Blast!" cried the clone commander as he and the remaining clone troopers were getting their comrades to safety onboard the only Republic shuttle left.
While the clone commander had no other choice but to rescue his own men, Boba Fett managed to find his way to the escape pod and managed to slip right on out. As the escape pod left the vessel, the Republic vessel exploded with just in time the Republic shuttle also left the hangar with the surviving crew and clones onboard.
"Do you think we should call for back up sir?" asked one of the surviving clone troopers.
Boba's escape pod was obviously heading for a certain blue planet not far from the conflict. Back with Eustace, Muriel and Courage, Eustace really wanted to go home and couldn't obviously stand it anymore as he was even ready to get into his truck.
"That's it, I'm heading home, you two can go find yourselves a taxi, because I am not waiting anymore for you" said Eustace.
"Oh come on Eustace, stay for us a bit longer" said Muriel.
To which Courage began to shake his head to also ask him to stay.
"Staying here with playing tea and dress up with that stupid dog?" cried Eustace as he was enraged, "My truck is the only thing that would keep me from being here, so unless it somehow gets destroyed forget it!"
Apparently poor Eustace spoke too soon, just then Boba's escape pod literally landed on poor Eustace's truck, destroying it into pieces that were flying all over the place.
"My truck!" cried Eustace as he saw its pieces littered throughout the area, "What kind of no good teenage punk does something like this?"
Suddenly the hatch of the escape pod opens up, and Boba immediately leaps right on out.
"Hey kid, look what you did to me truck!" cried Eustace to Boba who was unaware of Boba's ruthless nature.
"What the heck is a truck old man?" asked Boba as he turned around noticing Eustace.
"You mean you're not around from these parts, are maybe you're one of those hippie types who likes their fancy vehicles like this contraption?" continued Eustace.
"Eustace, the boy from the looks of it had a rough day, maybe if we can take a taxi together, we'll head home" said Muriel.
"Now you're speaking my language woman" laughed Eustace, "get that taxi ready and we'll head on home."
"Oh, I know there's something very suspicious about that kid, kids like that don't just land out of the sky for no reason you know" said Courage to himself.
As the four got into the taxi, space was obviously very limited between Boba and Courage.
"Move aside, er, what's this creature again?" asked Boba.
"A stupid dog" replied Eustace as he got into the shotgun seat of the taxi.
"Move aside you stupid dog" continued Boba as he pushed poor Courage.
"Hey, I'm beginning to like this kid, as if he were a son of mine" laughed Eustace.
"Yeah, that's just really wonderful, don't have your dog tear up my taxi" said the taxi driver as he was ready to head off.
Poor Courage knew this would be a very long taxi ride. As soon as the four got home, things turned bad to worse. Poor Courage knew something obviously bad was going to happen with the new kid around the house. As the taxi stopped at the house, Boba wasn't impressed with the type of place they lived in.
"This place looks like a big dump" said Boba.
"Oh my!" cried Muriel who didn't want to challenge Boba on his rudeness because of him being a child, "I'll get things cleaned up in a jiffy."
"Yeah, you do just that woman, and while you are at it, make me and me boy some dinner" added Eustace.
"As you wish" added Muriel as she then headed to the kitchen.
"How the heck am I going to spend time here with such primitive technology?" asked Boba.
"Go pick on the stupid dog" replied Eustace as he then sat in his favorite chair ready to watch his favorite television show.
"Time for you and me to have some fun" laughed Boba as he was approaching poor Courage who was cowering in fear.
