Enter Luke, under the cloaking device.
Enter Chewbacca.
Chewbacca. You there, Luke?
Luke. Yeah. What's up?
Chewbacca. You'll see soon enough.
Luke. [stares at Chewbacca] What's with the flower? Chewie, have you combed your fur?
Chewbacca. As a matter of fact, I have. You might want to try the same thing now and again. Come with me. Keep quiet. Keep yourself covered under that cloak. We won't take Drang. He won't like it.
Chewbacca approaches the Caridan carriage.
Enter Mallatobuck.
Mallatobuck. Oh, Chewbacca. I thought perhaps you weren't coming. I thought you had forgotten me.
Chewbacca. I couldn't forget you, Malla.
Mallatobuck. What is it you wanted to show me? When we spoke earlier, you sounded so exhilarated.
Chewbacca. You'll be glad you came. Trust me.
Chewbacca takes Mallatobuck's hand, helping her down the steps.
Luke, Chewbacca, and Mallatobuck enter the Unknown Regions.
Enter Kyle Katarn; Mammon Hoole, a gray-skinned sentientologist with dark eyes; Obo Rin, a sentientologist; Ditwar Logas, a sentientologist; Tem Eliss, a bald multi-eyed sentientologist; Zak Arranda, a dark-haired sentientologist in white robes; Tash Arranda, a blond-haired sentientologist with blue eyes and braided hair; Arner Figgis, a noseless sentientologist with leathery skin; Karke, a sentientologist; Chlar Kotchmin, a sentientologist; Ann Margaret Lewis, a sentientologist; Elth Nardah, a silver-haired sentientologist with a wizened face; Randamar Perl, a sentientologist; Karvinna Raen, a short-haired sentientologist with dark eyes; Vandolae, a skinshifting sentientologist; Osuno Whett, a gangly sentientologist; Ebenn Q3 Baobab, a bearded man with graying hair and red robes; Bant'ena Fhernan, a woman with light brown hair; Plett, a green-skinned man with white hair; Taun We, a long-necked woman with expressionless eyes; Lema Xandret, a blond-haired woman; Graf Zapalo, a dark-haired man in red robes; Dassid Cree'Ar, a blue-skinned man with one eye; Evir Derricote, an obese man with dark hair; Momaw Nadon, hammerheaded man with brown eyes; Ovolot Qail Uthan, a wild-haired woman with blue and black hair with red stripes; Jenna Zan Arbor, a blond-haired woman with gray eyes; Orun Wa, a long-necked man with expressionless eyes and a crest; Mezhan Kwaad, a scarred woman with green eyes; Elliam Baniora, a scientist; Pato Ado, a hammerheaded man in brown robes; Soron Hegerty, a scientist with graying hair; Dusque Mistflier, a brown-haired woman with gray eyes; Tendau Nandon, a hammerheaded man with brown eyes and gold skin; Mal Ree Ohr, a xenobiologist; Rachott, a short porcine man with white hair; Pippa Rosheed, a woman with long hair; A. Rahring, an orange-skinned man with a respirator; Xemlorn, a xenobiologist; and Teneniel Djo, an athletic woman with red-gold hair, green eyes, and rancor hide.
Enter the Coruscanti Cthon, a humanoid carnivore with pale skin; the Vanqorian Gundark, a red-skinned monster with four arms, black hair, and fangs; the Tatooinian Krayt, a carnivorous lizard with green-yellow scales, spikes, and sharp teeth; and the Dathomiri Rancor, elephantine beast with long arms, claws, and sharp teeth - all being controlled by the scientists.
Flames fly from the four monsters.
Kyle. Keep back there, Chewie. They can fire at a range of twenty feet, you know. I've seen this rancor do forty.
Chewbacca. Isn't it beautiful?
Hegerty. It's no good. Force Stun, on the count of three.
Reaching into the Force, all forty-one beast handlers stun the monsters, using their Jedi powers.
Chewbacca. [to Mallatobuck] Do you want a closer look?
The two Wookiees step forward.
Kyle turns around.
Kyle. All right, Chewie? They should be okay now. We thought it might be better for them to wake up in the dark and the quiet. But as you see, they weren't happy.
Chewbacca. What breeds have you got there, Kyle?
Kyle. This is a Dathomiri Rancor. There's a Coruscanti Cthon over there, the humanoid. A Tatooinian Krayt, that yellow-green. The Vanqorian Gundark, that's the red. [notices Mallatobuck] I didn't know you were bringing her, Chewie. The champions aren't supposed to know what's coming. She's bound to tell her student, isn't she?
Chewbacca. I just thought she would like to see them.
Kyle. [shakes his head] Really romantic date, Chewie.
Chewbacca. Four . . . so it's one for each of the champions, is it? What have they got to do, fight them?
Kyle. Just get past them, I think. We'll be on hand if it gets nasty, lightsabers at the ready. The wanted nesting mothers; I don't know why. But I tell you this, I don't envy the one who gets the rancor. Its end is as dangerous as its front. Look.
Chewbacca looks longingly at the rancor's eggs.
I've got them counted, Chewie. How's Luke?
Chewbacca. [distracted] Fine.
Kyle. I just hope he's still fine after he's faced this lot. I didn't dare tell Mom what he has to do for the first task. She's already chewing the luna-weed about him. . . . [imitates Jaina] "How could they let him enter the Games. He's much too young. I thought they were all safe. I thought there was going to be an age limit." [regular voice] She was in flood about that HoloNet article about him. [imitates Jaina] "He still cries about his parents. Oh, bless him. I never knew."
Luke leaves the Unknown Regions.
Exit all but Luke.
Enter Brakiss, running right into Luke.
Brakiss. O! Who's there? Who's there?
Brakiss shrugs and turns away, headed for the Unknown Regions.
Exit Brakiss.
Exit Luke.
