The Final Prophecy
by Bloody Murder
Chapter 5
******************************
The Mos Eisley Cantina was well known by all the scumbags around the universe. Only the lowest of the lowest attended it, so of course, Boba Fett was there.
He came here to catch a bounty on a man named Sko'ot Kal. He was a native to Coruscant. And had blasted his way through the Vong fleet by stealing a luxury yatch from the upper levels, nobody could blame him, the only problem was that the owner of the yatch was still alive, very angry, and was a senator. That's without counting that the owner's daughter was aboard the yatch when it was stolen.
The bounty on Kal was death or alive, but obviously the sum if he caught him alive was bigger than death.
Right now the bounty hunter business was low and Boba Fett had to catch whatever went his way. He intended to keep Sko'ot Kal alive, and rescue the senator's daughter, there was a big fat bonus on her.
He was about to make a move on the man, when a shadow entered his booth. This shadow a woman, he knew the woman. Her butt long, high ponytail swish when she turned her head to gaze steadily at him. She was wearing a tight jump suit, that would make any man sweat, but it didn't move Fett.
"Fett," she nodded," I'm surprised to see you here."
"I find that hard to believe Sing," like him, her age wasn't a problem. She was of a humanoid species that lived longer than the average human. And he was a clone, even if his parent had requested that his genes weren't tampered, he asked for a single change. Longer life. So the common problems of age didn't affect him or her.
"You're right, I have a proposition for you, one I'm afraid you won't be able to deny."
"I don't work with partners."
"This chance is one in a million so I bet you'll do an exception."
By now, he was curious, her exact goal. But he didn't see why he shouldn't ask," Continue."
"The Vong have offered my a great deal of credits, a 5 million in fact. It seems that their Peace Brigade collaborators are quite wealthy."
"The bounty."
"Oh, yes, the bounty," she smirked with malice," we have to capture one of the Solo kids, alive. To be more precise, Jaina Solo. I believe her goddess charade has really gotten onto the Vong nerves."
"I won't accept it," he turned to leave a slid out of the booth. Aurra Sing followed him and took his arm.
"Wait. Look at this from this point of view; you get a lot of money, and you get revenge on your buddy Solo."
"I left him of the hook a long time ago."
"I know that. But your revenge isn't what fuels this bounty. It's your greed. Vengeance comes only as bonus."
It took him sometime to consider, finally he nodded," Okay I accept, so this better be good."
"You bet it'll be, come we have to meet this Vong commander."
******************************
They stood in the cargo hold of the Slave I. Checking the final details for their capture.
Well, the meeting with Lah wasn't that bad, Aurra thought with a grimace, considering Fett only threatened to kill him once.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So, Sing, this is the feared Boba Fett?" Chraal Lah asked with desdain. He obviously was not pleased by what he saw.
"He is."
"I didn't know that a man of his caliber had to use machines to hunt."
"I'm on the hunt, I use everything I can to stop my prey," was the monotone answer.
"Prove it," tempted Lah.
"With pleasure," Boba Fett took his blaster from it's holster and pointed it at Lah. Only Sing gesture stopped him.
"Remember Fett, money, revenge," she said with some amusement.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
That was certainly fun, thought the red-headed bounty hunter.
"Sing, all systems are green, strap in."
"Coming," she climbed the ladder to the cockpit, she looked at the stars, and muttered," We're going to get you Solo, you'll see."
