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….
