Jedi Stories: episode #25 The Trap

Previously: Frey, trailed by Lowdun, entered Poopsie's house. Unfortunately, Poopsie caught them. Frey raced down the hall to find his family as Lowdun went outside to warn John and Catherine. As Lowdun is coming back to assist Frey, he sees Poopsie and overhears things…and now…

"Guess what, your husband's walking into a trap right now. Once he's dead, I'll have no use for you. You know too much. I'll kill you then. Bye-bye, doomed ones. Maw haw haw!"

He slams the door and hides the key. And Lowdun has seen it all! Poopsie goes off as Lowdun grabs the key and rushes off to warn Frey. He only knows one thing: Frey's in trouble and he must get to him! Now, to Frey. After Lowdun left to go see to John and Catherine, Frey took off as fast as he could towards the noise. After glancing behind himself twice, he soon realized that Poopsie was not on his tail.

"Must have gone after Lowdun," muttered the old man.

The sound was coming from a room past the main hallway. As soon as Frey reached the room, he realized all too late that it had been a trap. The dark room he now found himself in was a very large one. One entire wall was lined with books and there was a large desk in the opposite corner. IN the middle, was a kind of platform thing.

"Poopsie's study!" exclaimed Fry.

He was just about to turn back when the door slammed shut. Frey rushed over to it and try as he might, the door would not open for him. Frey could soon hear footsteps nearing every minute. Now, before the confrontation between Frey and Poopsie (Oh come on, you knew it was coming!), we must get to Catherine and John. Now, as we left them last Catherine had started to go into labor. Well, John did very well in the way of helping his wife through the delivery. He did surprisingly well. He even surprised himself.

"Oh, come on, honey! Push! It's almost out!"

"I'm trying!"

Finally, pop and the baby was out. And so the next heir to the Republic was born. (Remember John is the king.)

"What would you like to name it, dear?" Asked John.

"Well, is it a boy or a girl, John?"

John checked…and it was a boy.

"A boy."

"How about Timothy? Tim Jedi for short…I like that, do you, John."

"Whatever you want. I think that is a good name."

The Republic had a prince now, Tim Jedi. Now, to at Lowdun. Lowdun knew that he could never catch up to Poopsie, but at least maybe he could somehow stop Poopsie. When Lowdun reached the doorway to Poopsie's study, Frey and Poopsie were already fighting. You see, where we last left Frey, he heard footsteps coming towards him. He knew they belonged to Poopsie. Of course Poopsie unlocked the door and went right on in. Frey did not run. He could not. There was no escaping this fight. Poopsie drew his red lightsaber that he had recently constructed (following the Sith Journal) and he went right for Frey! Frey barely had enough time to react and activate his own lightsaber. Frey's lightsaber met Poopsie's just as it was about to slice through him.

"You're not going to get away with this, Kritch!"

"I was supposed to have killed you by now. You're not allowed to react so fast!"

"Well I did. I may be old, but I still rely on the Light Side of the Force."

"Yes, but I have power with the Dark Side."

"It'll kill you," replies Frey.

"You're wrong. It'll kill you, because I'm going to kill you!"

"You may kill me, but your powers will kill you eventually. That's the way it is with those who are too power-hungry for themselves."

Poopsie only laughs at that. This is the point when Lowdun rushes in.

"Poopsie, get away from Frey! And show us your prisoners!"

Frey shakes his head.

"Lowdun, run and save yourself. You can't do anything for me. I must face him. Whatever happens, happens."

"No, Frey. I can help you, I've got to."

"Lowdun…"

But Lowdun rushed over to Poopsie and ignited his lightsaber…and Poopsie turned around and reached his arm out at Lowdun…and…

Until next time!
