"Corellian fighter, identify yourself and your business in the system." The leader of the landing port called to Lin San's ship.
"We are four merchants and we would like to sell our merchandise on the planet." Lin San replied.
"What is your merchant number please?"
"P3K-49834-58RET"
"Alright, you check out. You can land at docking bay 13."
"Thank you."
They pulled into the docking bay and got a transport to the palace. When they arrived there, they were stopped by the guards at the gate.
"What business do you have at the palace?" one of them said to Obi-Wan.
"Our business is our own." He said using the Jedi Mind Trick.
"Nice try, but that won't work Jedi. Especially since the former guards succumbed to it."
"Then how do we see the king?" Alexi asked, losing his patience.
"If he ok's it, then you can see him."
"Then tell him that we are here and he can ok it so we can speak with him. It is urgent."
"Listen little man, we will do as we please, k?" the guard said, pushing Alexi.
"Excuse me! What is going on here?" a Toydarien said, flying out of the palace doors.
"Sorry Sir. We were just getting rid of some ruffians." Another guard said, saluting the alien.
"Well, these 'ruffians' as you called them are King Bail Organa's guests. Open the gate and let them through."
"Yes Sir." He said. Then turning to the Jedi he said, "I apologize for the inconvenience."
"You'd better." Alexi said evilly.
"Alexi! Behave yourself!" Yenshu reprimanded.
"Yes Master." He said grudgingly.
"Come, follow me. I will take you to.his majesty" The Toydarien said with a smirk on his face. The Jedi looked at each other suspiciously and slowly followed the alien, using the Force to stay alert to their surroundings.
"Uh, the King will be with you shortly. Please, wait here." The alien left the Jedi alone in the parlor of the palace.
"I do not like the feel of this." Lin San said, walking around the room.
"Tell me about it." Obi-Wan said.
"Alexi, use the Force. What is it telling you?" Yenshu told her Padawan.
"It is saying that we must be wary. Be cautious of everything. It is also saying to watch for the King." he said.
"Is that a good watch or a bad watch?" his master asked.
"I feel that we must be cautious of him. Things may not be what they seem."
"I don't like the sound of that." Lin San said, shaking her head.
"The sound of what?" a figure said, entering the room.
"Who are you?" Lin San asked, looking over the man with suspicion.
"I am Bail Organa, the ruler of Alderaan. And who might you be? I only remember speaking with one Jedi before."
"Really?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Yes. I spoke with the Jedi about many things." the king replied.
"Well, I have brought a few more Jedi with me on my return. They may be of some help." Lin San said, pretending to be Yenshu.
"Good. That is very good news. I will now deal with all of you." The king took off his cloak and pulled out a lightsaber as another person entered, lightsaber drawn.
Yenshu and Lin-San went left while Obi-Wan and Alexi went right. The impostor king attacked Lin-San and Yenshu. He fought with two long red lightsabers. Lin-San and Yenshu fought also with two lightsabers each. The sparks flew as the lightsabers clashed repeatedly. The fight flew by so fast that the moves could not be well anticipated. Neither seemed to weaken. The Sith fought expertly, blocking every attack that Yenshu and Lin- San made. The fight seemed not to favor either side. Nonetheless they continued their fight. The battle began to move slowly further away from Obi-Wan and Alexi. Soon they were not even in the same room anymore. After a long battle the impostor king ran from the room. Lin-San and Yenshu chased after him, but lost him quickly.
Obi-Wan and Alexi were up against the unknown assailant. He fought more fiercely than the impostor king. He had only one lightsaber but he attacked with great speed. Alexi and Obi-Wan fought together very well though. They embraced the living force around them and used it to organize their defense. Obi-Wan fought with his eyes closed, anticipating the attacks as they came. The same way he had done at the academy when he was younger. Alexi tried his hardest to stay on the defense. A Jedi was not supposed to take the offensive unless forced. The Sith suddenly jumped over their heads and ran from the room. Alexi and Obi-Wan ran after him as quick as they could. But like Lin-San and Yenshu before them, they lost him quickly.
