Jedi
Stories: episode #23 Capture the Sword
Previously: Qui-Gon Jinn has used mind-control to get
into the Maurder Big House so that they can capture the Sword. The Jedi have now reached the throne room…
They
reached the throne room and flung open the doors. Inside, were Mr. Orange Idiot, Stu Stupid…and Dyrnwyn!
As soon as all
of the Jedi have entered, Tiendr says, "Quick, jam the doors."
So, a few Jedi do this.
Then, Tiendr
says, "Mr. Orange Idiot, give us that sword and we'll leave peacefully. No one will get hurt."
Mr. Orange Idiot just laughs at them.
"No, finders keepers. Sorry, we need it."
While Tiendr is arguing with the leader of
the Maurders, Qui-Gon sneaks away and goes towards Dyrnwyn. No one notices. Stu, though is not part of the argument, so he is guarding
the sword.
Qui-Gon calmly
approaches Stu and says (using mind control), "The sword is not value to
you. It is not yours anyway. Give me
the sword."
Stu says, "The sword is no value to us. It is not ours. I will give you the sword."
Stu does just that. As soon as Qui-Gon has the sword, he makes a
run for it. But Mr. Orange Idiot noticed when Stu gave Qui-Gon Dyrnwyn, so Mr.
Orange Idiot jumps in front of Qui-Gon.
"Just what do
you think you are doing!" demands MR. Orange Idiot.
(Using mind control) "I'm taking the sword out of your room. You will let me. Now get out of my way!"
"You are taking the sword out of my
room. Go ahead."
Mr. Orange Idiot moves out of his way, to the
throne. Just as they were leaving the
room, Qui-Gon lost connection.
Mr. Orange
Idiot says, "Hey! Come back here. I'll call my guards."
"We'll be gone by then and, if you could call
your guards at any time, why didn't you call them earlier, you idiot!"
Qui-Gon was correct; the Maurder guards are
so slow and so stupid that the Jedi were already inside their ships when they
finally reported to Mr. Orange Idiot. Of course they found nothing, grunted, and left.
The Jedi were in hyperspace when Tiendr says
to Qui-Gon, "You were brilliant! I never
thought of using mind control on the Maurder Leader! I don't know, I just always regarded him as a leader…and you know
that mind control doesn't work on most leaders…because leaders are usually
smart. How did you know?"
"I don't know. Everything's worth a try. When it worked on Stu, I wondered if it
would work on Mr. Orange Idiot, since Stu is second in command."
Just then, there was an incoming message
from Lowdun to all of the Jedi. You'll
find out what it says later in another episode. The Maurders were very angered and disturbed from their
loss. For the next 20 years, they lived
on their few planets, without disturbing very many people at all. They worked on their cloning idea and talked
about their doorway. They had many
other little projects that started quickly, but failed. Now, back to Lowdun and Frey.
Lowdun only shrugs and says, "Frey, we need
to get back to real space now, shouldn't we?"
"Right," says Frey as he goes after the
controls.
Poopsie, who was at the meeting, goes for his
ship and heads home. Now he is our
immediate concern. Poopsie reached
Wolly before Frey and Lowdun did, since he knew all the shortcuts because he
lived there. When Poopsie got back to
his house, he was in kind of an irritated mood. He took it out on Mary and Ewok Luck, his new servants.
"I thought I told
you to empty that crate over there. When I give orders, I expect them to be followed, or I'll give you
dung-infested bread and water for a month!"
Mary sighed.
She thought to herself, "I wish Lowdun was
here."
She had not known how much she really loved
him until she couldn't be with him. Poopsie had made her very angry. This was the last straw.
"My friend, Lowdun, will probably come here
and rescue me. If only he were here
now!"
"Who is Lowdun,"
demanded Poopsie.
Of course
Poopsie knew, but he didn't want her to know.
My friend that
I love."
Poopsie was currently reading in his Sith
Journal. He planned on starting another
group of Sith, but needed an Apprentice. He decided on waiting on his son. He had too make sure things were done properly. He couldn't afford more than just one other
Sith now. He had been practicing the
Dark Powers whenever he had free time, and had now mastered all of them. He looked up from his book to see Frey and
Lowdun.
Until next
time!
