What Came to Pass: Part III
Showdow looked around at the small room. Zae-non lay on a couch sprawled out unable to retain control the most simple of movements. Garmandi sat on the table in front of the couch and Ona stood in front of the door arms crossed. Himself sitting in a chair next to the couch.
Ona sighed. "At least if Showdow hadn't killed that stupid Mik Master they would already have been here sooner. This just buys us more time."
Showdow glared at Ona. "What have I told you!?" He yelled standing up anger rising. "Don't ever-"
"Will you two stop it!" Garmandi yelled. "Honestly you two fight like Sith and Jedi."
"Oh how would you know." The carver spat angrily. "You've never fought one."
Showdow sat down and stared at Zae-Non. Being reminded of her friend a tear slid down her white face, her fear mixing with the sadness of her loss.
Garmandi looked over at the bounty hunter standing by the door. "Ona, get out there. If they have any brains at all they'll be here soon."
Ona nodded stiffly and stalked from the room slamming the door behind her.
Showdow let out a small sigh.
He didn't see how the Jedi could find them in the underwater city, but then again Jedi were something he never understood.
He looked over at the Jedi Master who was staring down at the girl.
The Master glared at the girl with a smirk. "I wonder if they are going to be as easy to get rid of as that piece of worm ridden filth who claimed to be a defender of the peace."
Showdow felt his rage rise up once again. "Don't talk about him that way!" He roared.
"What does it matter to you." Garmandi shot back.
"No one will ever get it." Showdow's face hardened. "You better give her that drug of mine and get out there to wait for your friends."
"This better do what you promised it would." The Master threatened. He picked up Zae-non and jammed the needle into her arm causing a small cry to escape from her.
"It can do all that and more." Showdow said with a smile. He watched as Garmandi walked out of the room leaving the door open. He turned to the girl. "I'm sorry about what happened to you Master."
Her eyes widened slightly. "You…" She trailed off as her eyes began to droop.
"Huh." Showdow observed as her cheeks lost some of their color. "It's working already…"
"What… what is it?" Z managed to speak she lifted her head up a little bit to hear him.
"Just a little something I learned to make from my dad." Showdow said sitting back down. "But it won't hurt or anything. Of course nothing can hurt when you can't feel anything huh?"
Zae-Non's eyes widened. "Why…" She trailed off as he body went limp and sunk into the couch. Her head slammed down as she let out a small sigh.
"I guess it did work." Showdow said standing back up.
He walked around the small room periodically looking down at the girl. She stared out blankly not able to do anything with her body. Not even move her eyes.
He sat on the table in front of her and sighed. "I didn't mean to kill Mik you know." The carver said blankly to her. "I would never hurt a friend, but it appears that is the way it turned out. I can't ever tell you how much a hate Jedi, but he was the one person I didn't hate. The only one I could trust. My only real friend."
He looked down a tear traipsing down his cheek. "He jumped in front of that Kenobi's Master. Jinn or something. Mik was blocking him from getting hit by a bolt from me… and it hit him instead. I… I can't believe it. I killed him." He put his head in his hands. "I'm sorry."
He looked down as his comlink beeped. He took a deep breath before answering it. "What?" he snarled harshly.
Garmandi was on the other end. "Get the girl and meet me in that hall where we planted the explosives earlier. They're here."
Showdow sighed as he picked up Zae-Non's limp body. "Come on girl." He looked down at her still blank stare. "I know you won't be able to remember a thing I just told you. Another effect of my little drug, but in some ways I guess it's for the best. And in others I wish you knew how sorry I really am…" he shook his head. "But for now we must be off to see your friends."
He carried her out into the hall slamming the door behind him. "Luckily for you my drug won't kill. I can't do that to you after what I did to Mik…"
Carrying her around the corner Garmandi glared at him. "What took you so long?"
"She isn't ten years old you know." Showdow replied coolly. "It'll take them a while to meet us anyway."
"No they followed me in."
"Oh smooth." The carver shook his head and let the girl sink through his arms. Her feet dangled against the floor and her head rolled forwards.
Garmandi put his hands out. "Give me the girl." He said. Showdow didn't hand her over. "Give her to me!"
The carver reluctantly gave her to the Master.
No sooner was she in his hands then the three Jedi raced around the corner. Qui-Gon in the lead his Padawan right behind and the other Master Sage was at the tail of the line.
Z was in one of Garmandi's hands and instead of his lightsaber, a blaster was held in the other. Showdow crossed his arms and glared at the girl.
He saw how terrified the boy looked at the site of how Zae-Non looked. She could barely stand herself up and her face was almost white. She gave him a helpless glance and stared at the floor as though it was too much to keep her head up.
Showdow frowned. What am I doing? He thought.
The three Jedi ignited their lightsabers in unison and the Master and Padawan exchanged a glance to each other. Obi-Wan then took a step forward and went to take another. He froze as Garmandi took the blaster that was pointed at them and turned it to Zae-Non.
"I'd think about finishing that step." Garmandi warned. "You know I don't care if she dies or not and you very well know I'll do it."
Obi-Wan put his foot down and stared at the crazed Master.
Showdow and everyone in that hallway knew Garmandi wasn't kidding. He would do anything he could to Zae-Non.
Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon rushed towards Garmandi. The Master thrusted Z back to Showdow who was caught on surprise at the sudden weight in his arms. He turned around and nearly dragged her down the hall and around the corner. He heard blaster fire from the other hallway but he kept running to where their ship was in the hanger.
Rounding one more corner he heard the sound of lightsaber crackling and biting at each other. Then a loud thud followed as though someone had been thrown into or kicked the hollowed walls.
Stopping to wait for Garmandi Showdow heard the man's bone-shilling laugh. "There is no point to this dispute. This little mining country is going to blow up anyway. You know me and my ways with explosives. Even if you find them there's no way to evacuate this entire city. You Jedi and your hearts for other people."
"Where did you put them?" Qui-Gon demanded.
"That's half the fun my friends. Trying to find them." With one last laugh the carver saw Garmandi fly around the corner. "Let go. We haven't much time."
Showdow nodded when Zae-Non suddenly moved in his arms.
Garmandi stared down at her. "You said that drug would paralyze her!" he shouted.
"I told you what it would do." The carver corrected. "Not how long it would last. It must be wearing off."
The
Jedi looked as though he would punch through the semi-permeable walls surround
them. "You stupid carver! The other three are going to be coming soon."
"How about your friend Brad?" he asked. "I thought he was supposed to mention
something about a raid."
"He did already." Garmandi sneered. "Doesn't mean the Jedi have heard about it yet though." He looked down at the girl who was now trying to wriggle her way out of Showdow's grasp. "You're more trouble than it's worth!" He shouted taking out an electrojabber. He delt a hard blow to the girls side making her fall him into the carver's arms.
After hitting her two more times the carver turned to see the other three Jedi sprinting down the hall towards them. He pick up Zae-Non and ran into the hanger after Garmandi. The Master jumped into one of the ships grabbing Z from Showdow's hands and dragging her in behind him.
Jumping in the alien glanced back at the boy standing in the doorway before their ship took off towards the sunny surface.
"What happened to Ona?" Showdow asked piloting the ship upwards.
"They killed her earlier." Garmandi answered simply. He took the girl in his lap and laid her down over his legs. "We'll drop her off on the beach and let her friends find her. I know Master Ketsew will want to take her back to the Temple. We get her and the girl on their ride home."
Nodding Showdow sighed. He couldn't let Sage die. Mik was dead…
He'd keep his promise.
As they broke through the surface Showdow pulled to the beach. "Hurry up." He spat. "I don't feel like running anymore."
Garmandi held his hand out. "This one better last longer."
Sighing the carver pulled the needle from his belt. "This is your lethal one." He said handing it to the smiling Master. After picking up Zae-Non he jump out and dragged her across the sand. Showdow laughed. "If I had put in the lethal chemical that is." He added to himself.
After Garmandi returned Showdow dived down under the water.
Garmandi sat forward in his seat. "Speed up. We have to beat them back to Avis."
"Oh keep your Jedi boots on. We'll get there." Showdow smiled. "You'll get your girl."
