Okay, first off, I feel really bad because I said I'd update soon, and so I'm really sorry about that!
-Le gasp- and now my story is a decade old! -tear- It grows up so fast!
OH! And April 9th was Gerard Way's (Lead singer of My Chemical Romance) BIRTHDAY! YAY!
Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing! Except for me of course!
(Kay-loo)
I've decided I don't like Count Dooku the least bit! He was so mean! This is how it went:
I was sitting on Palpy-tine's couch, minding my own business, when Dooku barges in, demanding why I don't have anywhere better to be. "Because there's no place better then here! Where is Pal-pee-teen anyways?" I chirped.
He glared at me. He looked kind of funny, actually. "He will be here in ten minutes, go away," Dooku said.
"How about... no." I replied happily.
"Why are you even here?" He scowled, looking even more funny.
"Because dear Palpy and I have some business to attend to, but then he had to go running about, before I could really even make my proposition to him."
"And what would that be?" he asked.
"That's for me to know and you to not find out!" I said. He sighed, then stood up straight quickly as Palpatine entered the room. Dooku bowed deeply and I just sat there, not being respectful at all. I mean, come on! He's only the Dark Lord of the Sith for crying out loud!
Before he could say anything, I burst out: "Have you decided?!"
"Darth Tyranus" Sidious spoke... that, obviously is Dooku's Sith name (fact. It is Tyranus). Dooku bowed. "What say you in taking on a shadow hand?"
Dooku looked quickly between his master and me. "I am not sure I am able to given my current circumstance. But I could always tell the trade federation and other people that she is my daughter or something."
"Very goooooood." Sidious drawled.
"Hey wait a second, I don't think I wanna be his daughter. Ugh. And what happened to the rule of two?!" I practically yelled.
Both Sidious and Dooku laughed. "There never was a rule of two, we just used that to at first cover our weakened numbers, but now it is used to cover our enormous numbers," Sidious said.
I stared at them dumbly. That wasn't how it was supposed to work! "Then who all is a Sith? Half the Jedi Order?!" I said sarcastically. "Ooh Gosh, I'm not sure Yoda will look good in black."
"You will find out in good time after you have proven yourself trustworthy. But for now, you will remain here while Dooku is away."
I had about oh... a million more questions, but I didn't say anything other then, "okay-dokey"
(Ray)
Next thing I knew, we were off to save Obi-Wan and Hailey!! I thought it was pretty rude of them not to say goodbye to Anakin's step-family, but before I could say anything, we were already flying.
We reached the planet soon enough, and Anakin and Padme rushed off, leaving me behind with Qui-Gon. He surprised me, he had been rather quiet through the whole thing, choosing to let Anakin make his own decisions.
"How can you let him do this?" I burst out after a moment of silence.
"Anakin can make his own decision, for without mistakes he cannot learn from them," Qui-Gon said. I sighed and hurried after the two lovers.
Either Qui-Gon was horribly blind to the fact that they were in love, or he was turning a blind eye.
Either way, he defiantly needed his vision checked.
Qui-Gon was leaving the ship after me, except the droids were moving rather slow and they were in front of him. Qui-Gon was on the ramp when a big chunk of ceiling fell onto the ship, crushing Qui-Gon's legs, but thankfully missing the rest of him.
Out of the corners of my eyes I saw those gross bug creatures in the shadows. "Run," Qui-Gon said quietly, beginning to free himself.
Hesitating only a small, but, I took off in the way Anakin and Padme had gone, hoping to catch up with them.
Gosh they were slow. I caught up to them pretty quickly from being about to follow a giant path of destruction in the wake of what they've left behind. It was kind of pathetic.
Speaking of pathetic, I was captured right along side of them.
(Hailey)
Apparently, fighting the peer pressure did nothing for my current situation. Dooku hadn't come back for a while, and I found myself wishing he was there, just to have someone to talk to.
After some time, it could have been an hour or it could have been 48354856746598 years, I don't know, but he came back.
"We meet again," he greeted me.
"Well, I didn't have much control over that, no thanks to you," I said.
He rolled his eyes. "You're nothing more then a stupid little girl with little respect for your elders and needs a serious attitude adjustment."
I rolled my eyes back. "And you're nothing more then a pathetic wannabe Sith who turned your back on the most amazing order ever and is in need of a serious reality check." Funny, how I was the one telling a character from Star Wars that he was in need of a reality check when I was probably the one that needed one the most. Haha.
"Yo, me homie G, I'm pretty sure all meh limbs have fallen asleepeh, could you like, letta meh go-ah?" I said in a gangsta accent.
Dooku glared at me. "I came in here to tell you that both you and Kenobi have been scheduled for executions this afternoon. Have a happy remainder of your life," he said, turning to go.
"Yeah... well... YOUR MOM WENT TO COLLEGE FOR PROSTITUTION!!" I screamed after him. The only response I got was the automatic door thing whizzing shut... or whatever it did, but it had the same effect as a door slamming.
(Ray)
Being chained to a cart where Anakin and Padme were making out was moderately gross, but also kind of adorable. Geez, if only this story could have a happy ending!
Oh my heck, Hailey, I see you! I called using the force technique thingy that Hailey and Kayla taught me as the cart was rolled into the arena.
Oh ehm gee, I can see you toooooo! If I do end up dying, I love you. She said. No, she didn't love me in a lesbian way, perverts, all our friends tell each other we love them, get over yourselves.
I love you tooo!! I called to Hailey, then said the same thing to Kayla, where she assured me we were going to get away fine.
I sure hope so, was what I thought to myself.
(Hailey)
My hands chained above my head were in a rather painful position. It didn't even occur to me that I could possibly die at this moment, cause I was singing... well, more screaming the lyrics.
"NOT TO FREAKING SELF I FREAKING MISS YOU TERRIBLY! THIS IS IS WHAT WE CALL A FREAKING TRAGEDY! FREAKING COME BACK TO ME!"
Okay, well, it is a song, minus the 'freakings.'
The monster in front of me was scary. Freaking scary, I might add. It basically was a spider. A HUGE spider. Well, technically it only was as tall as my knees, but man was it huge.
I HATE SPIDERS.
"I was beginning to think you hadn't gotten my message," I heard Obi-Wan say to Anakin. Obi was on my right, Anakin on my left, then Padme, then Ray.
"Bleh, bleh," I can't remember the exact words Anakin used anyways, I was too caught up with the icky spider thing with sharp teeth in front of me. "Then we came to rescue you."
Obi-Wan looked up at the restraints. "Good job."
I couldn't stop laughing. Even when Dooku called for the executions to start, I was still laughing, believe me, it was about 3492348x funnier in real life.
Then the bloodsucking spider came at me and I screamed. It stopped. I stopped screaming. It moved again. I opened my mouth. It hesitated.
Sucking in air, I realized the loudest, most shrill scream I could. The spider thing buckled and twitched. This continued on for some time until Obi-Wan was about to kill it and free me. Talk about feeling helpless.
Soon bazillions of Jedi poked out and ignited their lightsabers. I grinned as a Jedi threw one at me. It was puuuuuuurple!
I didn't do much, I basically hung around Obi-Wan and tried to block blaster shots heading my way.
Then Dooku called the droids to attention. Though it isn't marching band, so he called whatever that made them stop trying to kill us.
I deflected three shots back to droid and deflected five shots total! Yay! But way too many bodies littered the floor. It was really depressing.
Then Yoda came, Yay! Somehow, Qui-Gon ended up being with him, and Ray and I hopped on a transport with Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padme. Then Padme fell out, trying to grab the first thing... which happened to be Ray. Well, that sucks for them, I though noticing some guy fell out as well. I'm sure they'll be fine.
I just sat there and glared at Anakin whenever he wanted to go back for Padme. I don't think I'm a very fierce glare-er, because he seemed rather unaffected.
Soon enough, we landed at Dooku's takeoff... place... thing... I forget what it's called. Hangar! There we go... I think. Some Star Wars fan I am. Anakin got blasted away, as expected, and Obi-Wan and I tried to take him together. Well, there wasn't much I could do, all I tried to do was stab Dooku, but it wasn't really working. Oh well, I was the first one out, besides Anakin, I mean. My lightsaber was split in half. Luckily I had moved my hand. Oh, but my pretty purple lightsaber is gone! Woe is me!!
Anyways, Yoda came, and that was pretty amazing, but the whole time I tried to pull the Jedi out of the way. It worked. Dooku looked back to pull the big canister thing down on us, but we weren't there, giving Yoda a chance to slice through his wrist, making the lightsaber go flying.
Dooku made a break for his shuttle, but Yoda was too quick for him, and blocked his way. Obi-Wan was able to get up to assist Yoda, and I got up to, but lightsaberless. Oh, well.
Suddenly, Dooku reached out through the force and pulled me and his lightsaber in front of him, using me as a shield. "Eek, let me go you... you meany-poo-face!!" I said, struggling to get away. He ignited his lightsaber, all still with one hand and held the blade at my throat. I tried to push it away unsucessfully.
Soon, then door closed and we took off, me trapped on board. "LET ME OFF THIS FREAKING SHIP" I yelled. Dooku only smirked and let a medic droid get to work on a prosthetic hand like Luke and Anakin have.
"I don't think so, little Jedi." he laughed. I got madder.
"I'LL FREAKING STAB YOUR FACE OFF THEN DISSECT YOU IN BIOLOGY INSTEAD OF THE POOR LITTLE FETAL PIG THAT WE HAVE TO!!" I fumed.
He just laughed at me and we flew towards wherever we were going.
I could really use some help. Anyone?
(Ray)
After getting free, I took a lightsaber and tried to defend myself. All I remember is one got past the blade and hit my shoulder. Ooh, man. It was painful.
I crawled against the wall, hoping to not get caught in the crossfire. Luckily, no more shots came my way, and I was picked up by the soldiers who came for the other people, getting on a transport with Hailey, Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padme.
When Padme saw my wound, she wrapped my shoulder in bandages. "When we get back, you can go to the healers." She said, holding my arm steady.
That's when the ship tilted and she fell off, bringing me with her. My hands scrambled for something to hold onto, but I couldn't get a grip and eventually I was just grabbing air. Hitting the sand was the painful part, even though it wasn't that far of a fall, I landed on my bad shoulder.
Soon, Padme, the guy who fell out, and I got our own transport and headed in the same direction as Dooku had taken. When we landed, and different transport was pulling out, Dooku on it. Padme began firing at it. "NO!" I shouted, and pulled her arm down. "Hailey's on that transport, I can feel it, you can't make it blow up or whatever."
Padme looked like she might fire anyways, but soon her arm relaxed and she put the gun back her belt. We both ran into the hangar and saw Obi-Wan and Yoda looking sad, and Anakin looking pretty pissed.
We all knew one thing.
We had to get Hailey back.
And bring Dooku down.
Yay! That chapter was a little longer, cause I love you guys!! Hehe.
