Previously: Han told Jabba about Anakin and Samantha,
not realizing any harm would come in it. Jabba gave that information to Mr. Idiot. Mr. Idiot called on Boba Fett and put a bounty on the issue. The bounty was to keep an eye on the couple.
"Fine,"
says Boba Fett.
Fett thinks he could have gotten a higher
price, but he knew it wasn't' a good idea to get too much out of it the first
time. Fett leaves on his bounty. Now back to Tim and Sally. They have just had their argument with their
daughter. Time heads for the throne room.
Sally says, "Aren't you going to bed?"
Tim says, "I think I might have forgotten to
turn out the lights in the throne room."
As Tim approaches it, he has no idea that
Dyrnwyn is missing. He has a habit of
glancing at it before he leaves the room. He glanced at it now…or rather where it should have been. Before Time calls in anyone, he wants to
make sure that it isn't there. He approaches the area with a puzzled look on his face.
Not
finding it, he turns to yell, "Sally, call the guards…the sword is missing!"
Everyone in the palace came in. After much
searching, they still couldn't find Dyrnwyn. Thus, the Republic had lost the sword. Now to Arawn. Arawn had been
told to report back to Sidious, so that is what he's doing now.
Darth Sidious says, "Hello, Arawn."
Arawn says, "Hello," and he knew Sidious had
something up his sleeve.
Darth Sidious says, "Sit down. I want to discuss something with you. Our plans must again take a new step."
"What do you have in mind?"
"We need something new on our
side…creatures."
Arawn says, "We already have the
banthas."
(I
thought I had told you about Sidious and the banthas…it must have been in Death
Star. I thought I said Arawn barely
refrains from laughing, but it must have been Vader…looking it up now) (I guess I didn't…I could have sworn…oh
well…).
Sidious
pulls back, "How did you know about that?"
Arawn
says, "last night I got some message from one…I think it said its name was
Bantha Stephanie or something."
Darth Sidious kind of smiles at the mention
of the name.
"That is my fiancé."
Arawn
refrains from laughing, it was very hard though.
Instead,
he says, "You're marrying a bantha?"
Sidious nods, "I told you my tastes ran on a
different course."
Darth Sidious says, "yes, I got the banthas
on our side as soon as I met Bantha Stephanie. But that's not what I wanted to discuss with you…it's the gwythaints."
"The gwythaints? But they're so wild…and look at their claws. They're too loyal to the Republic."
"Not to someone that has a Force."
"You
sound like you have a plan."
"I do. Anakin Skywalker is getting to be a big problem for us. There are only 2 ways to deal with him."
Arawn
says with a look on his face like he thought there was only one obvious way,
"Just kill him."
Sidious says, "That's one of the
possibilities. There is another. I'll see if it will work, if it doesn't,
I'll kill him."
Arawn says, "You're taking too big a risk."
"Maybe not…if things work out, you'll find
that you are the one that's mistaken. But we must go into this slowly…so slowly that Anakin can't pick up on
it until it's too late."
"What
are you going to do?"
"Nothing for another month. Time is what
we're playing with here…it's the key. Of course if Anakin gets married before then we'll have to accelerate
the plans. The main thing is now to not
let that happen…and if it does, we can't let them have any kids."
"And how will you guarantee that?"
"By
killing him off so he can't have kids, if it's necessary."
Arawn
leaves and a month goes by. It is now
the day of the dance. The month is now
October. Wait; there are 2 more things
I need to mention. One is that Obi-Wan
cannot start Anakin's training up again for at least 6 months, because being
the general of the Clone Wars made it necessary to clean things up. The other thing is that Owen could not get
Gryvonbarf again because he had to serve in the Republic for at least another 2
years. Anyway, to the dance.
Until
next time!
