AN: Ok time for my next chapter

Sometimes aid can come from an unlikely source

Opens to Bren at a Cantina drinking some juice (he doesn't like to drink) with HK47 watching from the back

Bren: Hey Mac, I wonder when Jon will get back

Mac the Barkeeper (He is human): No word from my contacts, but then again he is all the way in Yavin….I doubt he won't get back for awhile.

Bren: True….say I have a question

Mac: Yeah?

Bren: I been hearing word of a new Hutt Taking over, I heard Ziro the Hutt left the area, and was taken away

Mac: Didn't you hear? He was involved with the kidnapping of Jabba's son

Bren: no way

Mac: Its true, no lie, I heard the new Hutt in Town is named….oh what was his name?

A female voice: It's Giro the Hutt

The 2 turn and see a sexy Twi'lek female looking at them

Mac: Yeah that's right

Twi'lek in basic: My name is Anita, and you are Jedi Master Bren Tenkage

Warning: If you are here to threaten my master, you will be blasted in .95 seconds

Anita: I am not here to fight

Bren: HK stand down

Reply: Yes master I will obey

Bren: you were saying

Anita: I was sent here by Giro the Hutt; he would like to see you

Bren: what for?

Anita: He says he has a proposition to aid the war

Bren: ok I will talk to him

Bren gets up and HK47 is about to follow

Anita: uh Giro has a thing about droids; I would ask to leave him outside of his doorstep

Bren: I understand

They use a shuttle to travel to the darker side of Coruscant and they go into a building (HK waits outside) Where they meet a large dark Red Hutt

Giro in his language: Ahh Jedi Master Bren Tenkage, the honor is mine

Bren: Umm with all due respect I wish you cold speak in Basic, I can understand you but I find me talking in a different language quite cumbersome

Giro in a low pitched basic: very well, come sit down, don't worry unlike other Hutts, I am quite friendly, would you like a drink?

Bren sits down on a nearby mat

Bren: no thanks. So why do you need help?

Giro: Straight to the point, you see I been having trouble, my shipments are being attacked

Bren: how does that affect me?

Giro: You see, I am being attacked by Separatists

Bren: Let me guess, your smuggling illegal goods that are worth a lot of credit that could supply the enemy

Giro: I am a Hutt you know HAHAHAHAHA, you must be the only human who isn't scared to be smart with a Hutt, you should get an award for that

Some people laugh with Giro

Bren: Thanks, so what should I do?

Giro: Escort my next shipment and take out the attackers, its quite simple if you ask me

Bren: And the reward

Giro: you prevent the enemy from getting rich, and I will ally myself with the Republic and supply them with credits to help the war

Bren: Giro you got yourself a deal

Query: Master are you done yet?

HK47 stick his head in the room

Giro: AHHHH DROID

Giro tries to run but being a Hutt he can't move fast

Bren: Its ok, he is mine, sorry. I do believe you have a fear of droids

Giro: you guessed correctly….I had a bad experience with one as a Huttlet….enough said.

Bren: I understand, HK we are moving out

Statement: Yes master I will head to our ship

Bren walks out and Giro looks pretty happy

At the Shipping Lanes

Bren: Let's see….docking bay T57….here we are

Bren sees some People loading up some crates

Bren: The Rancor ate the Jedi

The boss: And Giro got rich

Bren: I am the escort to help protect the shipment

Boss: good just go to your ship and when you go into space you will find us

Bren: Got it

Bren heads to the Silver Hawk and flies up

Query: Master are you sure you want to help him, according to Law you are breaking it

Bren: This will aid the war, sometime you have to break the rules a bit

Reply: Very well then, I will be sure to wipe my memory of this so I won't tell anyone

Bren Flies a bit and fins the ship

Bren on comlink: This is the escort to aid Giro, do you copy, over.

Reply: Roger that escort, we will be heading to Nal Hutta, lets go

The Ship are about to head into Hyperspace when they get blasted by something

Bren: what the hell

Comlink: WE'RE HIT, BUT OUR SCANNERS SHOW NOTHING

Bren: Calm down…HK Scan the area

Reply: Scanning….There area H4563

Bren fires a shot and takes out a hidden Ship

Bren: Damn it had a cloaking device.

Statement: Master that was the only ship in the area

Bren on the Comlink: Guys it's safe now, lets get you to your destination

The 2 ships head to Hyperspace unaware that they were being followed by Count Dooku in his own small ship

Nal Hutta

The ships land on a landing platform and take off the cargo with Bren on a comlink

Bren: This is Bren Tenkage, I am calling to confirm that the shipment is safe

Giro on the other end: Thank you Master Bren, I will tell the Senate my plan to help the war

The link ends

Bren: Well HK, I might as well look around, maybe hit a Cantina

Statement: Master I will Stay and guard the ship, you have fun

Request: But do bring back some oil, I heard that Nal Hutta oil is good for droids like me

Bren: I will, don't worry

Bren heads to the Cantina but is followed by a cloaked person

Bren walks in and sits at the front

Bren: I want a bumba juice

Barkeep: ok "big man"

Bren pulls out his saber and activates it silencing him

Barkeep: uhh right away master Jedi, and Its on the house of course

Bren: Thanks

The Barkeep gets Bren his Juice and leaves

Bren: this is good stuff

The cloaked person walks in and gets near Bren

Bren quietly: I rather not fight you, your force is hard to mask….Dooku

The man pulls down the hood to reveal it is Dooku

Dooku: you are always alert I see….then you know why I am here

Bren: If we must fight….I would rather not fight here, where people can get hurt

Dooku: You have a sense of honor….very well then, I have enough of my own honor to do that

The 2 walk out and head to a large ally way where they activate their sabers

Dooku: Shall we?

Bren charges Dooku and goes straight on the offensive

Dooku: Not bad, you keep striking me so I can't retaliate…you are the blood of Revan but….

Dooku force pushes Bren slamming him into a wall and dropping his Lightsaber, Which Dooku uses the force to take

Bren: not bad….

Bren Uses Force Lightning which surprises Dooku, but alas he blocks it

Dooku: it is rare to see a Jedi who can use both the force and the Dark side, but I wonder, why would you learn the Dark Side?

Bren: So I can understand the Sith….that's why

Dooku: Too bad that won't teach you anything, let me guess Master Yoda told you to control your anger, and what not.

Bren: Of course, the Dark Side is Evil and you can't gain anything

Dooku just laughs

Dooku: A bold claim…..think about this, many years ago Revan was the lord of the Sith and he controlled the Galaxy

Bren: That's not True….he became goo-

Dooku: that's what the Archives said, but the real story is that he Created a new Republic, the one we have today…Bren your potential can be unlocked if you Join me

Bren looks down speechless

Dooku: The Jedi are holding you back, but you can surpass them….give in to your anger, your hate, and join me

Bren:….I will think about it….

Dooku: Very Well then

Dooku Hands Bren his Lightsaber

Dooku: Meet me at Endor in say….2 cycles

Bren: Very Well then

Dooku turns to leave and Bren heads back to the Ship where HK47 is waiting

Query: Master is everything alright?

Bren: It's ok, don't worry

Bren gets on his ship and flies off with Dooku Watching him from a distance

Credit start

AN: Ok now Bren has Met Dooku….who knows what will happen….
