Jedi Stories: episode #22 Passage into The Big House
Previously: Frey has had more visions about what is to
happen in the future. They have now
arrived at the Planet Wolly. The Jedi
have just received instructions on what they are to do about getting the
sword. They now embark…
"All right men,
let's begin."
As they all depart (Lowdun has already left), Poopsie, who was at
the meeting, goes for his ship and heads home. But he is not our immediate concern. Qui-Gon Jinn is the person we will focus the most on. Qui-Gon knew that this would be his big
test. If he played a major role in
Capture the Sword, then he most likely would be promoted to the level of the
Jedi Knight. But then if he
captured the sword, it would almost be a guarantee! He just had to get it! Tiendr, the Jedi he was apprenticed
to, was of course with them. The
Republic Naval ships that were to come from the opposite side of the planet
left first. They timed it just right so
that each ship would arrive at the exact same time from every single direction,
leaving at whatever time it would take to get there. A Jedi ship was paired up with each Navy ship. That Jedi ship left with the Navy ship. And now, everything is set up for the taking
of the Sword. The blockade is in
position. The Jedi all take their ships
and land them at the Maurder Base Capital city. Mr. Orange Idiot is currently pacing the floor, thinking. He is in the throne room; the sword is
there, also. It is lying on the table,
which is guarded by Stu Stupid. Now,
the Jedi leave their ships after landing. They head straight for the Maurder Big House. A couple orange guards are guarding the entrance as these Jedi
approach.
"That'll be of no problem," says
Qui-Gon, even though he is one of the youngest ones there and is not a full
Jedi.
Tiendr nodded.
"I want to handle this," says Qui-Gon.
"I don't know, Qui-Gon…this is an important mission."
"But I can do it, Tiendr. Even if I failed, it wouldn't have that much consequence. You could quickly use mind control on them
to confuse them. Please, I just have
to try. I have to build up my
confidence so that I can face the trials."
Tiendr sighed.
"All right, Qui-Gon, you can take a
shot at it, but if you fail, they may sound an alarm. If that's the case, we'll have to leave and may not get another
shot at it for a long time."
"I understand. Thanks,
Tiendr."
Tiendr raised his eyebrows and made the announcement, "All right
everyone, my Padawan Learner, Qui-Gon Jinn, will use mind control on the
guards. If he fails, the closest person
needs to jump in right away!"
So with that, Qui-Gon moves up to the guards while the other Jedi
all stay on guard, ready to take over if Qui-Gon should falter.
Qui-Gon says, "Excuse me, sirs. Would
you mind opening the door for us? I
think you accidentally let it closed."
Qui-Gon is concentrating hard on
influencing their weak minds. It can
take a lot out of a person, especially if you are trying it for the first
time. Qui-Gon must make them believe
that what he tells them are their own thoughts and they must repeat the
instructions.
One guard says, "We're supposed to keep
it closed, except when really important Maurder officials are on the planet."
"Can you not see who we are? You idiots can't even tell your own leaders when you see them! Mr. Orange Idiot will hear of this! Now, you will open the door for us!"
The guards, now both in a trance-like
state, say together, "Yes, of course. Now, we will open this door for you!"
It worked! Qui-Gon is so excited that he almost lost
concentration…but he regained it in a couple of seconds. The guards had been about to shut the doors
again and confront them. Close call! Tiendr noticed this, but acknowledged that
Qui-Gon had done well and had regained his control. The group rushed in (there were no more guards until Stu.). They reached the throne room and flung open
the doors. Inside, were Mr. Orange
Idiot, Stu Stupid, and Dyrnwyn!
Until next time!
