'Allo there! ^_^ Once more I apologize for the mess up of the last chapters. They are fixed and ready for reading now so you'll be able to catch up on what's going on. I'm almost finished with the NC-17 branch off of this, so be on the look out.
Disclaimer: Ok, I'll do a quick one just so you remember these characters are not mine. They belong to George Lucas. Ok, finished. On With the story!
"Boba...I'm sorry." Zam's hand was more of an annoyance than a comfort to Boba now. He just wished for nothing but peace as he felt warm tears well within his eyes. His home, his friends. Gone. That thought held more for Boba than what could be described. He spun toward Zam's heat and buried his face against her, weeping uncontrollably into her drenched clothes.
Once more, Zam's soothing gestures calmed him almost instantly, her coos of comfort having a slight effect. "I want to know who did this." Through the storm he was barely audible. But his tone made everything perfectly clear. He was going to get revenge on the Jedi's for murdering his father, and he was bound and determined to discover who had demolished Topica City.
Boba's small form pulled back from his friend and teacher. Horror brew within Boba's doe wide eyes. How could he have forgotten the most important thing in all of this. Spinning toward the rubble, Boba's small feet slammed against the rough metal platform. His cries were clear over the blasting thunder and threatening waves. "Taun We!!" Frantically he searched for any sign his best friend had make it....but in his search he only found a withered and lifeless corpse of a mentor.
"Oh, Taun We..I should never have left." Exhausted, the young boy fell beside the ethereal alien, his hands white knuckled as the clutched his rain soaked trouser's. A hatred so deep and ancient filled his heart at the thought of all he had lost. In this world, he realised, only pain and suffering were eternal.
Unable to reach out and stroke the smooth head of the body before him, Boba stood and looked over his shoulder to Zam. He knew he no longer needed her to teach him. All that was needed to be taught had been taught, drilled into his very essence, really. Still, he needed the protection she could offer. His small being was still too weak to fend off enemies.
Walking deliberately back to Slave 1, Boba called over his shoulder, "Use every resource you have to find out who did this!" Even Zam could see he had grown in these past few minutes. She was now his bodyguard. Inside she felt a small emptiness that not being his mentor left. Not dwelling on the matter, the female hunter walked into the ship and to her quarters. Right now sleep commanded her and the safety of knowing Boba knew how to fly better than most put any worries at ease.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
The stars that zoomed past the ship no longer held any beauty for Boba. Once, when everything he loved still existed, he thought they were the most amazing thing he had even seen. But those memories died with his loved ones. Each time a new torment befell him, another memory would become tarnished and fade.
Boba's cold stare as he tapped new coordinates would frighten even the most viscious acklay into retreat. A cruel smile tugged at Boba's lips as their next destination flashed across the screen. ~Coruscant.~ For the longest time he had avoided that place, but that was only due to the fact he had lost Zam there. Well, supposedly anyway. After she returned to him, Boba was able to bring back all good memories of the place. In a few more years he planned on making even more good memories. Until then he would have to settle for scoping every nook and cranny. Then the revenge on the Jedi's would take place.

Yay! Chapter 3 all finished and pretty. PLEASE READ AND REVIEW! It's so nice to know what people think, even if they think it's made for the trash can. Hehe ^_^. Anywho! In the next chapter I plan on skipping ahead through the timeline to when Boba is 20....oh, well, you'll see! Au revoir! Aloha! Goodbye!
