AN: Hey everyone! I'm back! Now I was going through my thoughts for this story when I realized that I haven't thought of a good girl to have Luke be paired with so if anyone has a suggestion let me know. I can't think of any canon girls that would be their age so I am accepting OC's.

AN: Also, any bolded dialogue in the story just means it's an Alien Language. I already said Harry uses the Force to enhance his Occlumency and Legilimency so it wouldn't be hard to read someone's thoughts to know what they're saying as they say it.

Shadow of the Force

Chapter 3

-Harry-

Walking into the Mos Eisley Cantina he kept his demeanor calm and collected as he gazed at the various patrons of the bar, using his enhanced legilimency he scanned the mind of the bartender and found a drink that was similar enough to earth beer and ordered it, calmly sipping the beverage as he gazed around the cantina. Every time he met anyone's eyes he would use his powers to read their thoughts to try and find someone in the employ of Jabba, eventually settling on a light blue iguana looking man…or at least he thought it was a man.

Walking up he stared in the individual in the eye, mentally grateful for the individual's weak mind, as he took a copy of the man's native language and spoke in it "I seek an audience with your employer, Jabba the Hutt. I wish to make a wager with him.".

At his words the iguana man, his mental scan revealed the being was a 'Rodian' named Greedo, stiffened before eyeing him disdainfully "And what's in it for me?" Greedo asked greedily as he picked up on the fools thoughts…as well as what Greedo planned to spend the 'payment' on.

Shooting his hand out he grabbed the Rodian by the throat, hoisting Greedo into the air as the pathetic excuse for a bounty hunter gasped and chocked, clawing at the hand that was crushing the alien's windpipe. "What's in it for you is that I don't break your little neck." He said calmly "Now…are you going to take me to your boss or am I going to explain to him how you tried to drive off someone who wanted to do business with him?".

"I'll…take…you…" Greedo choked out before he nodded and dropped the Rodian to the floor as the iguana like alien gasped for breath. Grabbing Greedo's money sack he pulled out a few 'Wupiupi' coins and tossed them to the bartender.

"My…apologies for the inconvenience. I'm sure this will rectify the situation." He said calmly, a pointed glare at the still gasping Rodian making sure Greedo didn't complain as he got a greedy nod of agreement from the bartender.

Roughly hoisting the piece of scum to his feet he shoved Greedo towards the door, wanting to go ahead and win his ship and get things over with, the dose of Liquid Luck he had taken shortly before good for another twenty four hours. Greedo quickly led him to a speeder and took them out into the dessert at a fast clip, the one time the Rodian tried to take him to the wrong location he had pulled out his knife and threatened to make sure that Greedo could never again have children…something he was considering anyway after reading the alien's mind and learning of the beings…desires and plans.

An hour later he stood outside the gateway to Jabba's citadel as Greedo talked to the droid that operated the doors, the giant entry way opening for him as he calmly strode inside. Inside the door he found a pale skinned alien with two tentacles growing out of his head that, after a quick mind scan, he found was named 'Bib Fortuna', a Twi'lek that served as Jabba's Majordomo and hated the Hut more than just about anyone. "Greedo says that you wish to make a wager with his Excellency. Is this true?" Bib asked him with a raised eyebrow.

"It is," he said with a nod "my ship I used to get here was damaged while entering the planet, the frame damaged from its age, and is now mere scattered scraps throughout the desert. I wish to wager for both a viable ship as well as a decent amount of money.".

"Against?" Bib asked curiously causing him to smirk.

"That depends on what Jabba needs, supply and demand after all." He said with a grin as Bib nodded and led him down the dark hallway, past several boar like guards before getting to what he assumed was meant to be a 'throne room' as he saw several guards standing throughout the room as well as several singers and dancers around the room to entertain the giant slug he knew was Jabba…as well as a green slave girl that he recognized as being the same species as Bib. "Tell Jabba I also wish to add her to the wager." He said, using every ounce of his Occlumency to keep his voice calm as he pointed at the green skinned slave girl, getting a nod from Bib before the Twi'lek spoke to Jabba in Huttese.

"Oh exalted one," Bib spoke with a low bow "this stranger comes seeking to make a wager with you so he may gain the materials necessary to leave the planet. He seeks a ship, money, and your new slave girl.". At the Majordomo's words the entourage within the Throne Room burst into a flurry of noise, some laughing at his apparent 'arrogance' and other in curious whispers.

"And what does this stranger wager against me?" Jabba asked, silencing the noise as the entourage hung onto their 'master's' words.

"He says what he will wager is dependent on what you currently need or desire. I believe his words were…supply and demand." Bib answered as Jabba hummed thoughtfully while he felt the Felix Felicis work its magic.

"I am in need of a new smuggler." Jabba decided "He will gain access to a ship either way but should he lose he will not gain the money, nor my new Twi'lek and he will have to spend twenty years serving as my personal smuggler.".

Before Bib could even turn around he used the Huttese he had been able to learn in the short timeframe, extremely thankful for how useful his enhanced Legilimency was for learning languages when used on a weak minded being. "I accept," he spoke up in Huttese "now…what sort of wager shall we do?". At that question Jabba grinned, a rather sickening sight to be honest, before pulling a switch as the floor fell out beneath him and he landed in a large pit, silently cursing the fact that while he could find some things easily, such as languages, he wasn't used to pulling out other information from different species with different thought patterns and sometimes missed things.

"You shall fight one of my subordinates," Jabba explained to him "Viscus…failed his last smuggling job for me. If he defeats you then he shall be unpunished but if you win then you win the bet. Keep in mind though that while he is ordered to do his best not to kill you…you will have to kill him to win.". After the explanation Jabba laughed loudly, as did the entourage, as the slave girl who he hoped to win and free watched him wide eyed.

Hearing a grinding noise he turned to see a metal gate rising up as a creature with red skin, black markings, and cranial horns walked out, scowling at him viciously as Jabba barked out instructions to the newcomer that he assumed was Viscus.

As he inspected his 'opponent' he found himself struggling to enter the beings mind, feeling an impressive, if undeveloped, defense as he figured that this 'Viscus' had the ability to use the same powers he had, even if at a smaller level, but was untrained in its use. The most he got were brief flashes of the beings life…most of them sickening as he looked into the depraved psyche of the twisted individual who had raped, stole, and murdered for Jabba and done so happily.

Losing any guilt over what he would have to do, seeing it as more of an execution than anything else at this point, he dropped into a stance as one of the pig like guards dropped a couple of items down into the pit that looked like short swords as he and Viscus each picked up one. "I'll allow you each to have a vibroblade to make this more…interesting." Jabba called out "Begin!".

The instant Jabba gave the order Viscus shot forward, slashing the vibroblade at him with a yell as he leapt back to avoid the slash, his Felix Felicis helping him more than his powers in the situation as he met the new experience of dealing with someone else born with the same gifts he had. Bobbing and weaving around Viscus' strikes he studies his opponent's fighting style and attack patterns, using both his natural skills along with his technomancer enhanced mind and the Felix felicis coursing through his system as he looked for a possible opening.

Ducking under a rather vicious strike he used a small opening to shoot his free hand forward and struck Viscus in the nose, shattering the feature as his opponent stumbled back with a yell of pain while the audience laughed uproariously at the sight of first blood.

The blow only further enraged his already blood crazed adversary as Viscus charged at him, slashing with wild abandon as he simply dodged each strike, letting his opponent tire out until the strikes were coming slower and slower.

Finally seeing a large enough opening he shot forward and buried his vibroblade into Viscus' heart…or where he assumed the heart would be. Thankfully, and quite likely thanks to Felix, luck was on his side as his blade did indeed pierce Viscus' heart if the alien's sudden collapse and gasping chokes were any indication.

Looking away he tried not to stare at the dying being next to him, not liking having to kill but understanding the necessity of it having taken a life before. It had been when he was fifteen and wandering around muggle London, a mugger had tried to rob him and he had bolted, hoping to get far enough away that he could apparate to Diagon alley or Hogsmede, having learned how to do so recently in preparation for his test. Unfortunately the crook was in good shape and was able to keep up until he had gotten cornered on a rooftop where he had fought back, overpowering the assailant but accidentally pushing the crook off of the roof.

He had apparated to his godfather's house at that point, going into a rather violent shock over what happened as Sirius found him on the front porch of Grimmuald Place and led him inside. While Sirius had never been the perfect godfather the man had cared more about him than his parents ever had and had spent several months helping him move on past what happened, accepting the fact that while he should never enjoy killing he should learn to accept that sometimes there would be instances where he would have to and, more importantly, that doing so did not make him evil.

He was shaken from his thoughts when Jabba roared angrily at having lost the bet before growling out to the Majordomo to take him and the new slave girl to 'ship yard six' as well as to bring a set amount of Wupiupi.

Nodding quickly Bib hastily led himself and the slave girl out of the palace, and more specifically away from the angry Hutt, and onto a speeder where they were taken to an area full of ships that were barely holding together.

"His excellency states that you are to have one of these ships as well as these Wupiupi." Bib explained to him, handing over a small sack of coins "You may take any ship you wish to, even salvage parts from other ships, but must be gone within three days.".

Nodding in understanding he turned to go and begin looking through the ships when Bib grabbed his arm, "Listen…whoever you are," Bib said softly, glancing at the slave girl sadly "take care of her. While I may not be able to do much to change whatever Jabba does…I do care about my own.".

Nodding in understanding he promised to do whatever he could to look after her before he entered the ship yard. Three days later a ship could be seen exiting Ship Yard six, a black and silver Marauder-Class Corvette with a more pointed nose. He had found the ship in a great deal of disrepair but had used his technomancy to take parts from other ships to put her back to pristine condition, after spending six hours assimilating the technological make-up of the magnificent ship into his mind.

The Twi'lek girl, who he learned was named Oola, was a great help as she was able to help pull him from his work when needed so they could eat, having found a speeder among the ships that they used to go to the nearby Mos Eisley to grab food when needed. He had talked to her and learned more about her past, as she did with him, and he told her the same things he had told Luke, about coming from another world and why he had left.

Now he intended to explore this amazing new galaxy, his new friend at his side for as long as she wanted to be, as he sought to learn as much as he could about the new place he called home. "First stop," he said to Oola as he began putting in coordinates for a hyperspace jump to a planet with several skilled mechanics and inventors, according to his ships database anyway, "is to get several droids and a few more crew members. I can barely manage this ship by myself with my powers and I can't focus on much else because of it.".

AN: I'm trying to use what I can from the Star Wars Canon and extended universe but I'm no expert in it so anything you see that may be off please let me know. Also, Harry is going to be exploring the galaxy to learn about different things and explore so if you know of any cool planets or ruins, please tell me in a review.
