Hmm, I was reviewing my storyline and now I think that Iile will turn out to be around five parts instead of three. So much is accumulating and forming that I want to be sure to include all of it. The only downfall is that you guys might start becoming bored of my story and that would such shit! :*( I guess as long as I keep up the action and stuff I should be alright :P Just make sure to let me know if my writing begins to fall in quality please! The help will be MUCH appreciated and help to get me back on track. :)
Iile
Obi Wan stood in front of the R2-D4 unit as the little droid beeped and whirled, connecting its frequency to that of Yoda's. A small image flickered to life as the R2 cast the hologram of the Jedi Master, who in turn regarded Obi Wan with extreme interest.
"How did go the trip to your missing planet, Obi Wan?" the small Jedi asked.
"I found the cloning facilities of the Kamino's and it turns out that they had received an order to create an army for the Republic over twenty years ago!" yelled Obi Wan over the pounding of the rain.
"An army for the Republic?" Mace Windu inquired, his image coming into the view portal. "By who's order?"
"Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas!"
"That's impossible. He has been dead for much longer than that."
"I know, that's what I thought! There is more going on here than meets the eye!" The wind howled, whipping Obi Wan's robes around him in a frenzied array. "The army they have created is a cloned army from a host called Jango Fett, a bounty hunter!"
"Bounty hunter?" murmured Yoda. "Might this be the hunter you were searching for?"
"Yes, I'm sure of it!"
Yoda turned to Mace. "This hunter it seems could present much needed information, would he not?"
"As to the case of who is trying to kill the Senator it could very possible provide useful," agreed Mace. "And now we have another mystery on our hands, and a very dangerous one at that."
Mace looked back at Obi Wan. "Bring us this hunter; we need to talk to him personally."
"I don't think he's the cooperative type! He most likely will not come willingly!"
The older Jedi sighed. "Bring him in using force then if necessary. We cannot allow anymore time to be let slip by us; the life of Senator Amidala and the upholding of the Republic are teetering on the edge of disaster. We must do everything in our power to stop that from happening."
"What about the boy?"
Mace frowned. "What boy?"
"Jango Fett has a son, Boba I think! What should I do about him?"
The idea of a child getting involved in such disputes tugged at the Jedi Master's heart. He had been in similar situations when he had been a youth and knew the suffering that someone so young went through when dealing with the forces happening around them in which they could not control.
"Bring him in as well. Separating him from his father would just cause anxiety in the boy, something I would rather avoid. Surely once you have Jango, Boba will come quietly."
"As you wish!"
The connected was cut and Obi Wan was once again alone on the landing platform. He slipped a hand between the folds of his robes to feel along the smooth casing of his lightsaber; most likely he would be needing it in the coming confrontation.
The crates were heavy and awkward as Boba swiftly carried them aboard the Slave 1. It had taken him only minutes to pack while Jango prepared the ship for departure, wanting to be off of Kamino in as little time as possible. The threat of the Jedi still hung over their heads. Being taken in to the council on Coresant for interrogation was the last thing Jango wanted and he would do everything in his power to avoid it. He motioned for Boba to get the last two crates when suddenly his son shouted out a warning to him from the landing ramp.
Jango quickly turned and saw the Jedi running towards him. He immediately pulled out his two blasters and began firing however the Jedi had ignited his lightsaber and easily deflected the shots.
"Boba get on board!" Jango hollered as he sidestepped around the Slave 1, trying to find an opening in the Jedi's defenses.
His jetpack roared to life and carried him up into the turbulent sky, which sent beams of electricity across its expanse and stung the ground with its driving rain. Obi Wan lost sight of the bounty hunter as the lightning flashed before him and he planted his feet in a solid stance searching the platform for danger. The ship suddenly vibrated and came to life as it twisted around on its ground repulsors. The large front blasters swung down in an arc and pointed themselves at him. This is not good… Obi Wan's thoughts were cut off as a sharp tug in the force warned him of danger and he leapt back, barely missing the explosion of the repulsion missile from Jango Fett. The blast knocked him to his knees, sending his lightsaber flying over to the edge of the platform. The force called to him again and he dived wildly as the Slave 1 opened fire on the spot he had occupied a split second earlier.
Obi Wan glimpsed Jango Fett coming at him from above. Alright, you want to play rough? Fine with me… Obi Wan ran at Jango and leapt through the air, planting a swift kick in the middle of Jango's chest armour. The bounty hunter fell to the ground; his own weapon knocked from his hand but quickly recovered and struck out with precise hits. Obi Wan blocked as many as he could and tried grabbing onto one of Jango's arms but was pulled forward and he heard the crack of his head as it connected with the Mandalorian helmet. Obi Wan twisted around from the blow and Jango's arm circled around his neck, his other hand grabbing a fistful of hair. The air flow to the Jedi's lungs was cut off as Jango prepared to break his neck. Kenobi dragged in a painful breath as he grasped the edges of Jango's armour and with a shove of the force, threw the hunter over his shoulder to the ground. Jango pivoted and lashed out with a sweep kick, sending his opponent flying backwards into a roll.
Boba watched from the cockpit of the Slave 1 as the Jedi reached out to call his lightsaber to him. The weapon shot through the air towards him but his father was quicker. He ignited his jetpack again and ensnared one of the Jedi's wrists with his grappling line. Kenobi was yanked off of his feet and slid violently across the slippery ground behind Jango. He kicked off to one side around a tall pillar and pulled back on the cord whip lashing Jango into the edge of the platform, releasing Jango from his jetpack which then spun around in the air and exploded against another pillar. The bounty hunter momentarily distracted allowed Obi Wan to run up and get a few hits in. Jango countered by grabbing onto Obi Wan's leg as the Jedi attempted a kick and he twisted him off of his feet. Obi Wan struck out with his right foot as he fell and connected with the bottom of Jango's helmet sending him onto his back. Jango somersaulted onto his feet just as the Jedi spun around with a back roundhouse sending the hunter flying off of the ledge.
"Oh not good," Obi Wan groaned before being pulled over the edge after Jango by the rope still attached to his wrist.
Jango quickly activated the scaling blade on his gauntlet and shoved it firmly against the metal roof. Streams of sparks cascaded up from the friction of the two metals against each other, slowly decreasing Jango's decent. The Jedi skidded past him and disappeared beyond Jango's view as the rooftop ran out. The cord snapped taunt pulling Jango violently towards his own fall and his boots slipped against the wet metal. His arm trembled under the pressure as he lifted the weight of the Jedi, who still clung to the rope, up towards his free hand and with great relief pressed the release button, sending the other man down to meet the harsh ocean. Jango carefully leaned over the edge and peered down at the water hundreds of feet below him. They churned and frothed and there was no sign of the Jedi.
Satisfied, Jango began the long ascent back to his ship.
***Hmm, I'm pretty impressed at how I did that action scene but I have to tell you it was really hard. I don't like following a storyline at all…oh well. Right now I wish that I was into the second part of Iile where Boba Fett grows up (oh teenage hood, what a wonderful thing :P ) but it has to wait. There's nothing worse than starting a chapter out of sequence (at least for me it is) because then you get off of the storyline. But it is sooo tempting to jump to the good parts! Oh well…next up, Geonosis!
Oh yeah, and isn't irony so funny? Mace Windu not wanting to get Boba upset by separating him from his father and guess what?! He kills Jango later! Oh the humanity…. hehehe ;)
