************************************************************************

Place: System of Kamino, South of the Rishi Maze

We came out of hyperspace smoothly and my breath caught in my throat as I stared at the planet. It was beautiful, a smooth, glassy sea green, its colors reflecting beautifully in the darkness of space. "Do you see it Elaina? Master Yoda was right. Its Kamino." Obi-Wan's crackled voice said over the speakers. "Yes, I know." I paused a moment, then spoke again. "Obi-Wan, do we know anything about this planet? About its inhabitants? Their ways?" There was an embarrassed silence before Obi-Wan spoke again. "I'm afraid that all we know is that they are cloners. Oh, and that we should be on our best behavior." He said, mirth in his voice. I rolled my eyes and sighed.

"Preparing for descent into Kamino's atmosphere. See you on the planet."

"Right."

As I pulled into the atmosphere, I quickly took note that the planet itself was not as lovely as its exterior. True, it was majestic with its towers and turrents seemingly rising from the crashing ocean waves, but its atmosphere was dark and forbidding. I landed my craft smoothly onto the docking bay that rested out in the open and stepped out of the ship, becoming immediately soaked. It did not seem to matter if I put my cloak over my head or not. I simply ran to the elevator that would take me to the floor where Obi-Wan was. I met him at the door and we smiled at our wet appearances. The door opened and we stepped in. I immediately seemed to sense the wetness all over my body as the cool air hit my face. I looked down the bright white halls, which differed greatly from the dark colors of the outdoors.

The halls were lit with the purest light I'd ever seen, perfect, white, glowing light. It radiated throughout the building, silhouetting the soft corners and twists and turns of the building. I turned as I felt a life Force generating close by. A tall alien approached, its walk as smooth as the hallway around it. It moved with grace and dignity and stopped in front of us, its dark eyes, filled with a vibrant purple light, taking us in. "Master Jedi, so good to see you. The Prime Minister is expecting you." She said, waving her long, slender arm in our direction. Obi-Wan frowned and glanced at me. This was certainly unusual. "We're expected?" The creature nodded again. "Of course. We have been anxious to see you. After all these years, we were beginning to think you weren't coming. Now please, this way." She said, walking slowly down the white hallway.

I glanced at Obi-Wan and shrugged. He nodded and we followed the alien down the halls. Through the wide windows that lined the hallways, we saw the contrast between this wonderful clean world inside and the dark, furious world outside. It was a haven, a place I felt I could easily get lost in. But no matter where you go, even if it be on Kamino, you cannot hide from the darkness, for even in the lightest places, it seeks refuge. I told myself. We entered a large room, as white and soft as the outside hall had been. Large, circular doors closed behind us and we stepped forward. Another alien, very much like the alien who had lead us here, stood and nodded respectfully, his black robes flowing with his movements. "This is Lama Su, Prime Minister of Kamino." The alien said, indicating the alien beside her, then turning to us. "These are Master Jedi," She said, pausing. "Obi-Wan Kenobi." Obi-Wan responded quickly. "Elaina Solo." I answered.

The Prime Minister nodded with pleasure. "Of course. I trust you are going to enjoy your stay. Please." He said, indicating the two spoon shaped chairs that slipped down to our appropriate heights. We all sat down, save for the female alien who'd lead us in. The Prime Minister crossed his legs comfortably and began. "And now to business. You will be delighted to hear that we are on schedule." He said, nodding meaningfully. I glanced at Obi-Wan, but he merely nodded at the alien and kept his eyes fixed on him. "Two hundred thousand units are ready, with another million well on the way." The alien remarked proudly.

Obi-Wan nodded with a rather confused air, but said, "That is good news." The alien nodded once more. "I'd hoped you'd be pleased. Please tell your Master Sifo-Dyas that his order will be met on time." The alien said, obviously pleased with himself. I started. This was an unusual twist. Master Sifo-Dyas had been killed when he'd gone on a mission to Corellia almost ten years ago. He could not have placed this order. Obi-Wan quite obviously knew the same. "I'm sorry. Master?" He asked, hinting to the alien. The poor creature stiffened and looked confused, but answered Obi-Wan's prompting. "Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas is still a leading member of the Jedi Council, is he not?"

Obi-Wan shook his head firmly. "Master Sifo-Dyas was killed almost ten years ago." Obi-Wan explained. Now it was the Prime Minister's turn to look startled. He sat back in his chair and put his long fingers to his mouth with a small sigh. "I'm so sorry to hear that. But I'm sure he would have been proud of the army we've built for him." He said, once again gaining a strain of pride in his voice. An ARMY? This truly, WAS impossible. Master Yoda, nor Master Windu had ever spoken of an army, let alone a clone army made by aliens, whose system was not even in the Jedi Archives. And Master Yoda had shown no recognition when we asked him about the planet. What is going on? "The army?" Obi-Wan asked, trying to look unsurprised. The alien nodded firmly. "Yes, a clone army. And I must say, it is one of the finest we've ever created."

Obi-Wan glanced at me, then turned back to him. "Tell me Prime Minister, when my Master first contacted you about the army, did he say who it was for?" The Prime Minister nodded and lay back slightly. "Of course he did. This army is for the Republic." I stared at the Prime Minister, unable to think. An ARMY? But the Senate had not even approved the use of an army, nor had the Jedi Counil approved such a creation. Did the Senate know about this army? "Tell me Prime Minister, did my Master say anything else that these clones would be for? Any other purpose?" I asked. The Prime Minister cocked his head. "Well, no not really. He simply said that it was an army for the Republic in their hour of greatest need. He also said that many lives would be saved by this army, but at the same time, many would be lost." I nodded slowly. "But you must be anxious to inspect the units for yourself." The Prime Minister spoke up again.

Obi-Wan smiled easily at the alien. "Thats why we're here." The Prime Minister nodded and stood. We followed his lead and that the female guide and walked slowly behind them. We enountered many more Kaminoans as we walked through the halls. Their bodies were so, fluid. It was the only way to describe them. They moved slowly, with precision, watching their step, but still watching the way before them. The Prime Minister opened a door that read, CLONE OPERATIONS.

We stepped inside and immediately my breath was taken away. There were thousands, millions of little jars all rolling about in their respective places. I didn't even think I saw all of them, though the window looking out to them was immense. But I could barely breathe when I realized that the things inside them, were humans. Clones. I glanced at Obi-Wan, but he simply stared at the immense amount of life forms. Lama Su glanced down at us and Obi-Wan started slightly. "Very impressive." He remarked. The alien bobbed his head respectfully. "I'd hoped you'd be pleased. Clones can think creatively. You'll find that they are immensely superior to droids."

He said, stopping in front of another window. This window showed thousands of young boys, all the same in face and in body structure. These boys seemed to be of an estimated age of ten, or thereabouts. Very young. They were all working on the same program, flight simulations, and several Kaminoans walked among them, helping them as they needed it. "You mentioned growth acceleration." Obi-Wan commented as he watched them. "Oh yes, its essential. Otherwise a mature clone would take a lifetime to grow. Now we can do it in half the time. These were started five years ago." Lama Su said, eyeing the children. "So what age are they now? With the growth acceleration?" I asked. "Ten years old. A fully matured clone is twenty years of age." The Prime Minister said knowingly as we walked over to yet another window. This looked over a sort of eating area, where thousands of men were eating. Like the boys, these were all identical, the same age, the same height. "You'll find that they are totally obedient. We modified their genetic structure to make them less independant than the original host." The alien said rather ruefully.

"And who was the original?" Obi-Wan asked as we walked down the hall. "A bounty hunter named Jango Fett." The Prime Minister said offhandedly. I glanced meaningfully at Obi-Wan. "Where is this bounty hunter now?" Obi-Wan asked, trying not to sound curious. "Oh we keep him here. Apart from his pay, which is considerable, Fett demanded only one thing. An unaltered clone for himself. Curious, isn't it?" He asked, a small chuckle in his voice. Obi-Wan frowned. "Unaltered?" The alien nodded. "Pure genetic replication. No tampering with the structure to make it more docile. And no growth acceleration." Obi-Wan's frown cleared, though I could still sense his confusion. "We would very much like to meet this Jango Fett." He suggested. The female alien who had escorted us in, smiled graciously. "I'd be happy to arrange it for you."

Obi-Wan nodded curtly. "Thank you." The Kaminoan smiled and stepped back behind us. There was little or no talking as the Prime Minister lead us further down the corridor.

What do you think of all this?

I was slightly startled to hear Obi-Wan's gentle voice ring inside my head, but I answered him.

I'm not really sure. But I know that I don't like it. Its wrong.

The whole idea of cloning?

Yes. I mean, they treat these clones as if they WERE droids. They don't care about them in the least, don't care that the 'million more on the way' are human beings! Altered, but nonetheless human beings who do not deserve to be treated in such a trivial manner.

I agree. I don't like the way they talk about them. In truth, I don't like the whole situation. I met Master Sifo-Dyas at one point in time and he did not seem like a Jedi that would order the creation of an army without the Council's knowledge.

But he WAS on the Council, wasn't he?

Yes, but still. I don't think he would have done it. Besides, by the time it was ordered, Master Sifo-Dyas had already been killed.

I don't like this.

Nor do I, but,

Obi-Wan abruptly stopped as we stepped onto a platform of sorts. What it overlooked astounded us. Beneath us were lines upon lines of soldiers, all clones. Thousands of them. All ready for battle. "Magnificent aren't they?" The Prime Minister said proudly. I could do nothing but simply nod. Magnificent wasn't exactly the word I would have chosen. "Tell me, if we were required to use these clones, how much time would it take for them to get ready?" Obi-Wan asked. The Prime Minister bobbed his head emphatically. "Not long. Not long at all. They would most likely be ready but five minutes after you called for them." He boasted. Obi-Wan nodded, but said nothing more. "Well I hope you are pleased with your army." The alien said as we walked away from the balcony.

"Yes we are, thank you." Obi-Wan said, speaking for the both of us. "Very good. In that case, I'm sure that Taun We would be happy to take you to see Jango Fett now." The Prime Minister said, glancing back at the female alien. She nodded and smiled. "I would be pleased to do this." She agreed. "It was a pleasure to meet you Prime Minister." Obi-Wan said, holding out his hand. The Prime Minister took it graciously and shook it, doing the same to mine. "It is an honor to have the Jedi here again. Thank you for your time and your graciousness." The Prime Minister said, bowing slightly before walking off. Taun We, the female alien nodded her head and motioned to us. "Please, this way." She said. We followed her down the hall, towards the living quarters, stopping in front of a door after a while.

The door was opened by a boy, estimated about ten years of age. He was exactly identical to the five year old clones I had seen only a few moments ago. He glanced at us suspiciously, then looked up at Taun We with familiarity. "Boba, is your father here?" Taun We asked kindly. Boba nodded emphatically. "Yep." Taun We smiled. "May we see him?" The boy shrugged and nodded, walking from the door. "Sure. Dad, Taun We's here." He called, his voice echoing throughout the apartment. After a few moments, a man emerged from a side door, unrolling his sleeves. His face was rugged and covered with scars as he looked at us. He looked at us in a way similar to the way his son had looked at us, but with less suspicion.

"Welcome back Jango. Was your trip productive?" Taun We asked kindly. Jango nodded curtly. "Fairly." He said shortly. Taun We nodded respectfully and waved her long hand towards us. "This is Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Master Elaina Solo. They've come to check on our progress." She said slowly. Jango's gaze swiveled between us, resting on me for a time, then turning to Obi-Wan as he spoke. "Your clones are very impressive, you must be very proud." He said with a small smile. Jango shrugged. "I'm just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe." He said shortly. "Ever make your way as far into the interior as Coruscant?" Obi-Wan asked. Jango paused momentarily. "Once or twice." Obi-Wan raised his eyebrows. "Recently?" At that, Jango glared at him. "Possibly." He responded. "Then you must know Master Sifo-Dyas."

Jango looked put off by that question. He paced a few feet then muttered something to Boba, who walked off and closed the closet door. Before he did so, I noticed an imposing blue helmet, resting among its armor. "Master who?" Jango asked curiously. "Sifo-Dyas. Isn't he the one who hired you for this job?" Jango stared hard at Obi-Wan before speaking again. "Never heard of him." This surprised me. It wasn't necessarily the phrase, but his tone. I sensed that he was being completely honest. That was what threw me off. Apparently, the same held for Obi-Wan, for he raised his eyebrows slightly. "Really?" Jango nodded. "I was recruited by a man named Tyranus on one of the moons of Bogden." He said shortly. Obi-Wan smiled knowingly. "Curious."

Jango walked forward a few paces, then turned back to Obi-Wan. "Does your companion speak? Or is she mute?" He asked. My blood boiled, but I held my head high as I answered him. "I do not have anything to say." I answered as shortly as he had a moment ago. "Really? Thats surprising, considering all the questions your friend is asking. Don't you have any questions for me?" He asked, almost mockingly. I smiled slightly and shook my head. "Sorry." Jango raised his eyebrows and shrugged. It was then that I glanced at Boba. He was staring hard at me, as if trying to understand something. I then realized what he stared at. My slave necklace hung out over my cloak, a curious object to the boy I'm sure. I stepped away from Jango as he began to speak again. Boba drew back slightly, fear echoing in his eyes. "What do you wish to ask me, Boba?" I asked him quietly. He started as I voiced his desire, but stepped forward slightly. "Why are you wearing a slave necklace if you're a Jedi?" He asked suspiciously.

"Because I was once a slave. I am free now, but it is a symbol of my life before." I answered him calmly. "Wouldn't you rather forget it?" He asked. I smiled and shook my head. "No. It is part of my past. I can't forget it for it is always a part of my life. My past. You cannot forget your past." I said quietly. He nodded slowly, then stepped away, his eyes still clapped on me. As I stood, I heard Jango say to Obi-Wan, "Do you like your army?" Obi-Wan nodded, a small, knowing smile on his face. "I look forward to seeing them in action." Jango nodded, pride in his gaze. "They'll do their job well. I'll guarrantee that." Obi-Wan smiled and bowed to him. "Thank you for your time Jango." Jango did not return the gesture, but simply said, "Always a pleasure to meet a Jedi." He said curtly. I too nodded to Jango, then followed Obi-Wan as we left the room. I glanced back behind me at Boba, who continued to watch me, curiosity and suspicion still on his face.

Taun We lead us back to the space docks and smiled. "Tell your Council that the first battalions are ready. And remind them, if they need more troops, it will take more time to grow them." Obi-Wan smiled and nodded. "I won't forget, and thank you." He said. "Thank you." Taun We said courteously as Obi-Wan and I stepped out into the pouring rain. "Jango's going to try to get out I have a feeling." He called over the howling wind. "Well I don't blame him. You certainly stepped far enough over the line on several questions." I scoffed. Obi-Wan shrugged as he bent over his ship. "I needed answers. R-4, transmit this to Coruscant." He said before straightening and pulling his cloak around himself. I stepped closer to him so that the transmitter would pick up both of our images and shivered. After a moment, Master Yoda and Master Windu's figures emerged amidst the pouring rain.

"Masters, we have successfully made contact with the Prime Minister of Kamino. They are using a bounty hunter named Jango Fett to create a clone army for the Republic." He said loudly over the wind and rain. "We have a strong feeling that this bounty hunter is behind the plot to assassinate Senator Amidala." I added. Mace Windu nodded slowly. "Do you think these cloners are involved in that as well?" Obi-Wan shook his head decisively. "No Master, there appears to be no motive." Yoda shook his head disapprovingly. "Do not assume anything Obi-Wan. Clear your mind must be if you are to discover the real villain behind this plot." Obi-Wan nodded firmly. "Yes Master. They say Master Sifo-Dyas placed an order for the clone army almost ten years ago. I was under the impression that he was killed before that." Obi-Wan said. Master Windu and Master Yoda seemed to draw back slightly in surprise. "Did the Council ever authorize the creation of a clone army?" I asked over the howling wind.

Master Windu sighed. "No. Whoever placed that order did not have the authorization of the Jedi Council." Yoda pointed a finger at us as he spoke. "Into custody take this Jango Fett. Bring him here. Question him we will." He said. "Yes Master. We will report back when we have him." Obi-Wan assured him as we cut off the transmission. "Well, what do we do now?" I asked, turning to him. "You're going to your ship. I may need back-up from the air. I'm going to go and see if I can get a hold of Jango." He said, grabbing his lightsaber. "Don't you think I should be down there with you?" I asked. He grinned broadly. "Not unless you want to get more wet than you already are." I rolled my eyes and chuckled. "Very well. I'll see you there. May the Force be with you." I called as I ran towards the elevator. "May the Force be with you Elaina!" Obi-Wan yelled back, almost inaudible over the storm.

I jumped into the cockpit of my ship, shivering as the power blew cool air around me. "R-7, see if you can't get some warmth in here. I'm freezing." I said to the droid. The droid beeped in response, then asked me a question. "No R-7. We're going to go help Obi-Wan." I said with resolve, as I settled my hands on the controls. We quickly lifted off from the platform and as I swooped over the docks, I quickly saw blaster fire. "Oh great." I muttered as I steered towards it. Obi-Wan and Jango Fett were now having it out on the ground, lightsaber and blasters drawn. But a moment later, both had disappeared, sliding away in the pouring rain. Obi-Wan vaulted away from Jango Fett, trying to get to his lightsaber.

I was surprised to see great amounts of blaster fire ricocheting around him, but then frowned as I saw it was coming from Jango's ship. It was Boba. "Why you little," I seethed, quickly placing my fingers on the blaster trigger. I quickly blasted at the ship, causing one of the panals to blow off.. In my mind, I heard the boy cry out with surprise. Then I saw him peer cautiously out the window. His eyes narrowed as he saw my ship and he quickly turned the guns away from me. "Oh so you wanna play, huh kid? Well then lets play." I muttered as I arced around him. The boy tried fiercely to blast me away with his guns, and growing angrier as he did not succeed. I had to admit, the kid was good. Had a lot of potential. "One bit of advice kid. Never mess with Jedi." I murmured as I careened so close to the ship that my wing nearly hit the windows where Boba glanced out every now and then. Obi-Wan and Jango were fighting hand in hand now, for neither could reach their blaster or lightsaber.

Obi-Wan kicked him away, then ran to reach his lightsaber. Jango jumped to his feet, igniting his boosters and flying over beside him. Before Obi-Wan could pick up his weapon, Jango knocked it away by means of his cable, which wrapped around Obi-Wan's hands. He then began to drag him across the wet surface of the docks. I frowned and blasted towards them, but I had to stop after a while, because there was no way I could hit Jango without hitting Obi-Wan.

Obi-Wan! DO something!! I called to him with my mind. Within seconds, his voice rang angrily in my head.

What do you THINK I'm trying to do Elaina? I'm doing the best I can!

Well do better.

Fine then! Your highness! Obi-Wan called wryly.

I rolled my eyes, then grinned as Obi-Wan slipped behind a pillar, jerking on the cable and knocking Jango's booster-pack from his back and sending it flying through the air. Obi-Wan quickly kicked the bounty hunter over the edge of the space docks, then stood still a moment.

Oh no, not good!

Obi-Wan! You're still attached to the,

Obi-Wan's scream echoed through my mind as he slipped behind Jango. "Cable." I muttered, continuing the rest of the sentence. I began to dive down to try to catch him, but stopped as I heard his voice.

Don't Elaina! Make him think you've given up! Go hide in the clouds!

That was what he wanted me to do? Go hide in the clouds? He's about to fall into the sea, and he wants me to, fine. Fine. If thats what he wants me to do, I'll do it. I'll HIDE in some clouds. And I did so, leaving Obi-Wan behind and slipping into the clouds.

Elaina! I'm up! Try to get to Jango before he takes off!

He got back up?

Yes! Now hurry!

"First you want me to hide, now its 'hurry'. I'll never understand you." I muttered as I dove from the clouds. As I did so, Jango's ship began to take off. I dove after it, but I had come out too late. I saw Obi-Wan on the space docks, his lightsaber held high.

Well, what now?

I put a homing device on his hull. He won't get far.

Its about time you did something productive.

What are you TALKING about? I was fighting with him in the RAIN while you were sitting nice and dry in your ship!

I was trying to teach that little clone a lesson and I got him away from you, thank you very much.

Fine, you did do that. Wait there. I'll meet you up there in a moment.

Shortly after, Obi-Wan's ship rose into the sky. "Where to?" I asked, gripping the controls. "We're going to find a bounty hunter." Obi-Wan said with determination, speeding ahead of me. "Just don't get yourself in another mess like that last one." I told him firmly. "Then leave the clones alone and help me!" He answered. "You're hopeless." I murmured, urging the ship forward. After a short time the bounty-hunter's queerly shaped ship came into sight. "Alright Elaina, now, you take him from the back and I'll try to cut him off." Obi-Wan said. "You be careful and make sure its not HIM who cuts YOU off." I said, slipping behind him. "You worry about the back and I'll worry about the front." Were his final words as he sped up behind Jango.

Jango sped up, trying to avoid Obi-Wan, then I groaned as he changed his position. He was heading directly into the asteroid field of the planet in front of us, Geonosis, I recognized. "Obi-Wan, he's going into the asteroid field! Are you crazy enough to follow him?" I asked grimly as I gripped the controls. "Yes!" Came his yell across the comm-link. I shook my head and urged my ship into the asteroid field. "Then I am too." I muttered under my breath. Above me, R-7 moaned emphatically. I dodged the asteroids and soon found myself side by side with Obi-Wan. "I thought you were taking the front!" I called to him. I saw his reaction through his window. His eyes were fixed on the bounty-hunter's ship, but he still managed to roll his eyes. "Its the asteroids. I'm trying NOT to get killed thank you." He murmured. "Yeah well you already signed a death warrent by going INTO this asteroid field." I retorted as I dodged an asteroid that hurtled towards my wing.

"Seismic charges!" Obi-Wan suddenly yelled. "Break up!" He said. I winced as I saw the charge emerge from the back of the ship. I swung away from Obi-Wan, hurtling perilously through the asteroids. There seemed to be silence as the charge released and slammed into an asteroid, then let forth a hideous noise of explosion, scattering rocks and debris everywhere. I winced as a large piece of asteroid hit my wing. R-7 whistled loudly. "I know! I know!" I yelled. "Obi-Wan are you alright?" I called. "Yes, but, HERE COMES ANOTHER ONE!" He yelled. I quickly dove out of sight, trying to find an escape from the flying rocks. Silence, then the hideous sound echoed out once more. "Do you think he's trying to send us a message?" I asked sarcastically. "Alright, this game has gone on FAR enough." Obi-Wan muttered over the comm-link. "Obi-Wan, what are you doing?" I asked suspiciously. "I'm following him into an asteroid." He said grimly. "Alright, you do that. I see you. I'll try to cut him off in front." I said, swinging the ship around violently, nearly slamming the ship into an asteroid. "Are you crazy? Do you know the odds of," I quickly cut him off. "My odds of surviving are probably just about as good as yours chasing a bounty-hunter through an asteroid. Never tell me the odds. The odds make no difference to me." I called out before swinging over the asteroid.

I took a deep breath, then swooped down in front of the asteroid, just as Jango emerged. I swung behind them, then noticed that he was pulling back. He swung behind me and I had to dodge his laser fire as he shot viciously in my direction. I swung up above him, then swooped down behind him, but not without noticing that Obi-Wan was now in FRONT of Jango and Jango wasn't sparing him any expense with his laser cannons. "Blast! This is why I HATE flying!" Obi-Wan yelled over the comm-link. "Keep calm. Don't lose it. I'm coming." I reassured him as I shot at Jango from above, trying to blow out his lasers. That only earned me blaster fire screaming along the side of my ship. "You alright R-7? Good." I muttered as I dove down by Jango.

But suddenly, Jango let out an explosive charge. Its long blue tail streaked out behind it as it dove after Obi-Wan. "Oh no." I murmured as I dove after him, trying to blast the charge away. "Hold on Obi-Wan!" I yelled. But as I got the charge in range, another blast rang out behind me. Jango had fired another charge in my direction. "Blast!" I muttered as I resorted to evasive manuevers. It was no use. I couldn't shake it. Suddenly, I heard an explosion and saw the charred pieces of a ship fly through the air. My breath caught in my throat. "Obi-Wan?" I called out cautiously. "Elaina, I'm alright! Let loose your spare parts!" I breathed a sigh of relief and did as he asked. The charge flew right into them, exploding into millions of pieces. I quickly moved to rest my ship on an asteroid and sat down to wait.

"He's gone onto the planet. I think we've waited long enough." Obi-Wan said softly over the comm-link. "Alright. Hold on, I'm coming out." I answered. I moved swiftly above the asteroids and looked for Obi-Wan's fighter. It quickly came into view and I moved towards it till we moved towards the planet side-by-side. "That was close. Are you alright?" I asked him. "Yes. Quite a big chunk out of the side of my ship gone, but I'm all in one piece. How about you?" He asked. "Alright. I'm gonna have to get Anakin to fix my ship when this is all over, because its going to have some nasty damage to it." I said with a frown. Obi-Wan merely chuckled.

Author's Note: Geez, Jango's such a jerk. I hated him. Heh-heh, ol' Mace Windu. CHOP CHOP!!! :-) Of course, you've kinda gotta have a SLIGHT bit of sympathy for Boba. I mean, c'mon. Thats brutal, lettin' a little kid watch his Dad (or host, whatever) get his head chopped off.............Okay, I'm done blabbing about poor Boba Fett. Get back in the mood! I don't like Boba! He's got it in for Han in the later movies. *grumble* Anyway, hoped you enjoyed the chapter! Thanx for all the great reviews! Luv ya'll!!
