Chapter 4-Tatooine

As his ship approached the correct co-ordinates Darth Maul disengaged the hyperdrive and the Sith Infiltrator entered the Tatooine system. Realising stealth was the key to success Darth Maul activated the cloaking device and landed his ship in the outskirts away from all civilisations. Raising his hood and forcing open the door the sith lord stepped onto his speeder, riding it out towards the town of Mos Eisley.

By the time Darth Maul arrived in Mos Eisley it was dark and everything was quiet. Darth Maul stopped on the edge of the town and dismounted his speeder. Walking down the streets Maul noticed the only light came from inside the late night clubs as he passed them, Darth Maul opened his mind to the dark Side of the force hoping he might find a lead to the headquarters of the' Black Sun.' Darth Maul following the force entered a backstreet club and sat on a bar stall, "Bar man" he said calmly,

"What you want?" the bar man asked,

"Information" Maul continued, "Have you ever heard the name 'Alexi Garyn'?"

"Yeah sure" the bar man replied, "he's over there" he pointed to a table to his left.

Darth Maul stood up and walked towards the table the bar man had indicated.

A man with blond hair and ponytail stood up, "What do you want?" he asked,

"Alexi Garyn?" Darth Maul asked,

"Yes, what you want?" Garyn asked

"All your men may leave with their lives, but you will die."

"KILL HIM!" Alexi Garyn screamed as he and his men drew their guns.

Everyone else in the bar stood up and ran out as Darth Maul drew his lightsaber activating a single blade, all of the black sun food soldiers jumped from there table and surrounded the Sith Lord. The men fired their guns only to have them deflected back at them followed by a lethal slash from the powerful lightsaber. Darth maul turned around looking for Alexi Garyn who he knew was still alive and then he saw him run out the door at insane speeds. His master had told him that Alexi Garyn was force sensitive and he became 'Black Sun's' leader because the Jedi thought him too old to train.

Darth Maul deactivated his lightsaber and looked around one man who had only lost an arm was regaining conscious. Maul forced him into his hand and scowled at him, "Listen to me and listen well" he said, "Tell me where I might find the headquarters to the 'Black Sun' and I will let you leave with your life."

"We were… made to swear that we wasn't gonna' tell" the soldier stammered.

"Then you die!" Maul said as he raised his weapon.

"No wait!" the soldier screamed, "We have many bases, I only work on one of da minor bases on Mygeeto, you won't find our leader there he'll have retreated to our main HQ with the much superior defences and his top bodyguard."

"Thank you for your co-operation and now you will join your friends on the floor" Darth Maul replied.

"You said I could live!" The guard screamed shocked.

"Word of advice" Darth Maul replied, "Never trust a Sith Lord" as he chocked him with the force.

Darth Maul walked in through the centre of the streets in the dark back to where he had parked his speeder. 'Objective completed in less than an hour' he thought to himself 'the power of the Dark Side.'

Alexi Garyn stood in the shadows watching his mysterious attacker speed off into the distance he knew this was a man had superior knowledge of the force. He stood watching until his attacker was long out of sight; and as he returned to his cruiser Garyn knew he hadn't seen the end of him.
