The Code:
Chapter 2: Free Fall
The escape pod floated through space. It's small, but workable engines pushed it through space slowly toward the planet of Coruscant. The droid known as T3 was in one of the corners shut down. Boba had ordered it to, since they wouldn't arrive for a few hours. He was rested in front of the controls; his darken eyes watching the window of space. For a moment his expression softened. The glittering stars shined brightly reminding him when he was with his father. If someone was actually there in the escape pod they would of noticed the hint of tears swelling in Boba's eyes. He quickly shook his head getting the thoughts away. "It's in the past, can't do a thing about and can't dwell on it, a waste of time." He said to himself as he stared at the blinking controls again.
The pod approached the busy planet of Coruscant. The pod was fairly easy to pilot as he flew through the higher levels of Coruscant. A voice over the comlink spoke of the number platform to land on. Boba followed the direction as he lowed the small escape pod down. He glanced outside the window for a moment and noticed someone was there. "Not good."
Boba snapped his fingers in front of T3. "Wake up, you."
T3 stirred awake, "What can I do for you?"
"Make a distraction while I make an escape."
"I wasn't designed for such a."
Boba raised his blaster from his belt; "I'll re-design you now if you don't."
Boba was desperate right now so he had to resort to threatening this droid if it wasn't going to do what it was ask. It was a simple task so Boba didn't get what the big deal was.
T3 hesitated for a moment, but answered, "As you wish."
T3 walked down the ramp of the ship first. Boba raised his head as he listened and slowly approached the entrance to have a look. T3 and two unknown people stood at the very end of the platform. They seemed to be preoccupied with T3 so Boba made his move. He quickly walked down the ramp and swiftly moved to the other side of the escape pod, moving for the ledge to find an air taxi.
"Stop right there." A voice said from behind. Boba froze as he rested his hands at his side. "All right, now turn around slowly."
Boba did what he was told; as he turned he caught view of the two unknown people rushing over while the security guard pointed his blaster at Boba. T3 ran over and stopped rather close to Boba, that it caused him to stumble. The security guard was rather jumpy and shot a blaster shot at Boba. Out of pure surprise Boba stumbled backwards as he felt a hot burning pain, but he couldn't tell where on his body. As he stumbled, one of the unknown people leaped forward to reach out and help, but it was to late. Boba tumbled over the ledge of the platform along with the person who had help him.
He fell from the sky tumbling past the buildings, air taxi, and other obstructions. He was spinning as well; making it hard for him to even determine which way was up. Boba was afraid this was the end, there was no way he was going to survive this, but luck was with him. A hand wrapped around his waist and he stopped spinning so much. He could hardly see as the air was rushing past his eyes to fast to focus but he could tell it was the unknown person. She had stabled his fall enough that he wasn't spinning, but he was still falling, well they both were. The unknown person raised her hand and a cable shot out from a blaster and hooked onto one of the air taxi.
"Hold on tight now."
Boba could only nod, he wasn't going to object to being saved, but it did make him feel bad. The unknown person who was a girl or women slowly shortened the cable line up and they both lifted up towards the air taxi that was traveling at a slow speed. It finally came to a stop close enough to one of the buildings that they both could get on. Boba sat on the building ledge catching his breath.
The girl stood for a moment looking around; she seemed hardly fazed by the fall and climb. Her shoulders dangled her hair as the bright blond color reflected the soft lights of the city. With blue eyes to match, Boba could tell she was a Jedi by her clothing, perhaps an apprentice, since she appeared to be young and only a few years older then he. She turned and looked at him. "Are you Boba Fett?"
He nodded slowly as he got to his feet, "I am, why?"
"We've been looking for you. I'm Cemira Aazim, from the Jedi Temple. I came here with my master so we can escort you back."
Boba raised an eyebrow to this new information, but he couldn't refuse at the time. He would figure a way out of it later, "I can't refuse to go, can I?"
"You certainly can not, it's my job to get you there."
"Well I can't refuse a Jedi who just saved me, but now what? We're in the lower levels of the city. I don't have any money for an air taxi and I doubt you do."
Cemira raised her head slightly, "How do you know I don't have credits?"
Boba shrugged as he grinned slightly, a hint of amusement on his face, "Just a feeling."
Cemira frowned and didn't answer.
