PART 2

(The scene shows that the transport carrying Clone Force 99, Omega, and Rhen Zhe is winding through a large canyon. After a few seconds, it's about to reach the end.)

RHEN ZHE: (To Hunter, who's now sitting back in his original spot) Okay, just through these cliffs is an open field, and after we pass the field, we'll be at my town.

(The transport goes through the end of the canyon, but there's somebody waiting for the group, much to their dismay! Two battalions of stormtroopers, which is over two-thousand men, and three hover-tanks are approaching them rapidly!)

RHEN ZHE: (Worried) That's not good!

WRECKER: Hey, just means more people and stuff to break!

(Suddenly, one of the hover-tanks fires, hitting the ground beside the transport, sending it careening over the side. Clone Force 99 and Omega are able to jump out, but Rhen Zhe's leg gets caught by the transport.)

HUNTER: Omega, you alright?

(Omega nods, while Hunter looks to the other members of Clone Force 99, who gives signs that they're alright. Hunter looks, and sees that Rhen Zhe is not only out cold, but his leg is trapped.)

ECHO: Did he just lead us into a trap?

HUNTER: No, he had no idea that this was coming; I could smell it on him. Tech, what odds are we facing?

TECH: (Looking at his data-pad) If I'm making the right calculations, there are five of us against over two-thousand of them, plus the three tanks.

WRECKER: (Laughs) The odds are against us! I like that!

HUNTER: Easy big guy; here's the plan. Tech, Wrecker, and I will try to get aboard and take over one of the tanks. Omega, you and Echo stay back here and provide us with cover fire.

OMEGA: What about Rhen Zhe?

HUNTER: Wrecker, get the transport off of him and see if it still works. Tech, check his condition. Echo, Omega, once the three of us get into the tank, we'll come over to you, so prepare to get in.

(Moving quickly, Clone Force 99 goes into action: Wrecker pushes the transport back up to its original standing, while Echo and Tech pull Rhen Zhe from underneath it. Hunter and Wrecker climb onto the transport, and wait for a few seconds before Tech climbs on. Hunter then speeds off, heading towards the battalion of stormtroopers, who are marching towards them.)

HUNTER: (Yelling) Everybody down!

(The stormtroopers begin either firing at them, or dodging out of the way of the transport. The transport collides with the tank, sending Hunter, Wrecker, and Tech flying. Hunter and Tech lands on top of one tank, with Hunter kicking the gunner and knocking him out. Wrecker quickly gets behind one of the tanks in order to avoid blaster fire, while Tech drops two stun grenades into the tank that Hunter's is on. There's a loud zapping noise and yelling for a few seconds, to which Tech climbs in.)

HUNTER: Wrecker, come on!

(Wrecker begins running from the back of the tank, climbs up it, and gets in, all the while avoiding blaster fire. Meanwhile, in another tank, one of the stormtroopers, the commander, is on a holo-call with the Imperial Officer who commands them. The officer has slicked back hair, pale skin, and is wearing an Imperial officer's uniform.)

STORMTROOPER COMMANDER: Sir, Clone Force 99 has found us and are attacking.

IMPERIAL OFFICER: How many are you currently engaging?

STORMTROOPER COMMANDER: Three, sir.

IMPERIAL OFFICER: (Pleased) Excellent; send out the scout-troopers to obtain the target.

STORMTROOPER COMMANDER: Yes sir.

(The holdall turns off, while the Stormtrooper Commander presses a button on a large-screen computer that's in the tank.)

STORMTROOPER COMMANDER: Scout Troopers, engage the members of Clone Force 99 that aren't fighting, and obtain the target.

(Outside the tank, four scout troopers are waiting on their speeders. As soon as they hear the orders to go in, they speed off and towards the area where Echo, Omega, and Rhen Zhe are. The three are hiding behind some large rocks, Rhen Zhe is still knocked out, and Omega and Echo are now keeping watch over him. Suddenly, Echo hears the speeders, sees them, and begins firing his pistol at them. Omega follows, firing her energy bow at them as well. The two hit one scout trooper, who crashes and burns, while the other three speed towards them. As soon as the two scout troopers make it towards them, two of them jump off and tackle Echo! Omega jumps on the back of one of the tackling scout troopers, while the third scout trooper comes over and begins trying to pull her off, but is getting rapidly elbowed by her!)

RIDING SCOUT TROOPER #3: This kid is a handful!

RIDING SCOUT TROOPER #2: (Choking) You're telling me! Stun her!

(The third scout trooper pulls out his blaster and fires a stun at Omega, who dodges and lets the second scout trooper get hit, causing him to fall on Echo and the first scout trooper! Omega readies her energy bow and fires, but the scout trooper rolls and hits her directly with the stun setting of his gun, sending her falling back and knocking her out!)

ECHO: Omega!

(The first scout trooper sucker punches Echo, pulls out his gun, and proceeds to stun him as well! Fortunately, since Echo is part cybernetic, it doesn't faze him, and he shoots the first scout trooper, incapacitating him! Unfortunately, the third scout trooper fires his gun and hits Echo in the shoulder, sending him back against the rock! Echo is in pain, but he doesn't let this faze him, and he runs forward to fight! Then he gets shot in the leg, which sends him crumpling to the ground! Knowing he's lost, Echo pretends to play dead, which the scout trooper buys into.)

RIDING SCOUT TROOPER #3: (Picking up Omega and throwing her over his shoulder) I've apprehended the target; I'm on my way back now.

(The scout trooper puts the knocked out Omega on his bike, and is about to speed off. Before he does, Echo throws a small device in his direction, which lands on the back of his bike. The scout trooper doesn't notice this, and begins speeding off, having captured Omega. With the target now captured, the battalions begin retreating, leaving behind the men who are either wounded or dead. Much to the confusion of Hunter, Wrecker, and Tech, who are still driving the tank.)

TECH: They are retreating, but have we won the battle?

(Hunter activates his comm and speaks into it.)

HUNTER: Echo, you and Omega alright?

ECHO: (Speaking through his comm) No. I've been wounded, and Omega has been captured by the Imperials.

HUNTER: What?!

WRECKER: They've got Omega?!

ECHO: The battalions were a distraction, so that they could separate us and capture her. I was able to put a tracking device on the back of the scout trooper's bike.

HUNTER: (Turning to Tech) Tech, pilot this tank back to the rocks, so we can pick up Echo and Rhen Zhe. Wrecker, we'll need to dump out these stormtroopers, so they don't awake and try to take over the tank.

(Wrecker nods in reply, and Tech begins driving the tank over to the rocks. Hunter watches this, a worried look on his face, as he's thinking about Omega. The scene then changes to the lone scout-trooper, who is riding through Rhen Zhe's town with Omega, who's now awake and restrain-cuffed. The scout-trooper goes through the gate and into the Imperial Base, where he gets off the bike and pulls Omega off as well. There's a look of rebellion on Omega's face, as the scout-trooper beings marching her into the base.)

RIDING SCOUT TROOPER #3: Now don't you try anything; if you do, you'll get stunned.

(Instantly, Omega elbows the scout-trooper and tries to make a break for it. However, she runs into two stormtroopers, who grab her and prevent her from getting away.)

OMEGA: (Struggling to break free) Let go of me!

STORMTROOPER #1: Where do you think you're going, kid?

RIDING SCOUT TROOPER #3: She's coming with me, but she's loves running. You two mind backing me up and holding her?

(The two stormtroopers hold Omega by her arms, and force her to walk behind the scout-trooper. The four enter into the base, where the scout-trooper walks up to a desk with a female Imperial officer sitting behind it. The female is human, with light brown hair that's tied in a bun, pale skin, and grey eyes.)

RIDING SCOUT TROOPER #3: I'm bringing in a prisoner; a special case for Commander Sessa.

(The female Imperial officer looks up from her work, looks at Omega, and then at the scout-trooper.)

FEMALE IMPERIAL OFFICER: Throw her in the cell with our other guest; she looks like she could use some company.

(The two stormtroopers and scout-trooper, bringing along Omega, head down a hallway. They take several turns and go down some steps. While they talk, Omega listens closely to them, in order to obtain some information.)

RIDING SCOUT TROOPER #3: Who's the other 'guest'?

STORMTROOPER #1: You mean the Jedi? (Chuckles) I wouldn't worry too much about him; all he's done so far is lie on the top bunk and sleep. Not to mention he seems very foolish.

RIDING SCOUT TROOPER #3: Foolish?

STORMTROOPER #1: Yeah, it seems like everything's a joke to him, like he doesn't realize the danger that he's in being a Jedi.

RIDING SCOUT TROOPER #3: That's weird.

STORMTROOPER #1: Yeah, it is.

(The four stop in front of a cell door. One of the stormtroopers lets go of Omega and goes over to the control panel, pressing some buttons on it. The cell door opens, and the Stormtrooper pokes his head in.)

STORMTROOPER #2: Hey Jedi, we've brought you a new cell mate!

(The cell is a small room with no windows, and a bunkbed. The Stranger is lying on the top bunk, on his back and with his eyes closed.)

THE STRANGER: (Comical tone) Tell him he can have the bottom bunk.

(The stormtrooper holding Omega pushes her in, and then the cell door is closed. Omega turns to the door and watches through the holes in it, seeing the stormtroopers and scout-trooper walk off. Keeping calm, she begins looking for a way out.)

STRANGER: Don't worry; once I finish my nap, I'll get us both out of here.

OMEGA: I can't wait that long; I have get back to my brothers.

(Hearing Omega's voice causes the Stranger's eyes to shoot open in surprise. He sits up, but hits his head against the ceiling of the cell.)

STRANGER: (Groans in pain) I keep forgetting how low that ceiling is.

(The Stranger looks over and sees Omega, who turns around from the door to face him. With a confused look on his face, the Stranger climbs down from the bunk.)

STRANGER: A kid? What happened that cause you to get thrown in here?

OMEGA: I was with my brothers, and we were out on a mission. But we were attacked, and the Imperials captured me.

STRANGER: (Comical tone) Oh, out on a mission, huh? What kind of mission were you and brothers on? Stop the mean bullies from attacking the poor helpless farmer?

OMEGA: (Confused) Helpless farmer? Mean bullies?

(The Stranger lets out a kind laugh and sits down on the lower bunk bed.)

STRANGER: (Comical tone) Oh come on, you can level with me, little lady.

OMEGA: (Confused) Level with you? Look, I don't know all these things that you are saying, but you said that you can help me get out of here.

STRANGER: Yeah, I can help you get out. Hopefully get you back to your parents and brothers before suppertime.

OMEGA: I don't have any parents.

STRANGER: (Apologetic) Oh, sorry…

OMEGA: Why?

STRANGER: (Confused) Why? Because I thought you didn't have parents. You don't have them, or you do?

OMEGA: It's kind of hard to explain.

STRANGER: I'll say. Alright, no more chit-chat; we're getting out of here. I'm cutting my nap short.

(The Stranger gets up from the bed and goes over to the cell door.)

STRANGER: (Yelling) Hey guard! The kid's sick or something, because she fainted!

(A Stormtrooper starts to come over, and the Stranger motions for Omega to lie on the ground. Omega gets the idea and lies on the ground on her stomach, pretending to be motionless. As soon as the Stormtrooper gets close, the Stranger does a Jedi mind trick on him.)

STRANGER: You want to open the door, and go upstairs to the top floor.

STORMTROOPER GUARD: (Monotone) I want to open the door, and go upstairs to the top floor.

(The Stormtrooper opens the door and leaves. Omega looks up, there's an amazed look on her face, and gets up from the ground.)

STRANGER: (Comical tone) Shall we, little lady?

OMEGA: (Amazed) How did you do that?!

STRANGER: (Comical tone) Oh, just a little Jedi mind trick.

OMEGA: Jedi mind trick? Think you could teach me that?

STRANGER: That all depends on whether or not you have the Force. Now come on, let's go…

(The Stranger walks out of the cell, and Omega follows him. The two begin moving down the hallway stealthily, before stopping beside a corner.)

STRANGER: We have to get my personal effects before we get out of here. Speaking of personal, I've neglected to ask for your name, little lady.

OMEGA: My name's Omega.

STRANGER: (Confused) Omega? Huh…

OMEGA: What?

STRANGER: Nothing, it's just an interesting name.

OMEGA: What's your name?

STRANGER: Me? Oh, I'm Nobody.

OMEGA: Nobody?

STRANGER / NOBODY: Yeah, Nobody; that's what I call myself.

OMEGA: That's an interesting name.

NOBODY: Yeah, I don't use my real name. Okay, the guards are moving; let's go…

(Nobody and Omega go around the corner, but are soon met with eight stormtroopers, all armed with stun batons!)

NOBODY: (Annoyed) You gotta be kidding me…
