Chapter 4. Hope u like it. Review. Don't leave me hanging.
Chapter 4- Smuggler's Moon.
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan stepped out of the small ship called the BOOM BOX. The spaceport was crowded and loud. The air was musty and filled with bitterness. Obi-Wan kept his hand on his converted lightsaber, which appeared to be a hydrospanner, then his Master cast him a look and he switched it to his blaster on his thigh.
"Quinn," Obi-Wan asked his Master/Partner, "Don't we have to go do our job?"
"In a bit, Kenwi. I'm a bit thirsty after our trip." Qui-Gon replied. The job was to go to an information broker's post and ask him about Bouta Noul and about any leaks in the Jedi Order. For the information, they would contact a long time friend of the Qui-Gon, known as Dexter Jettster. The two walked for about fifteen minutes after they stopped for a glass of water. They then saw a shabby restaurant and stopped. After stepping inside, they saw a large alien, bigger than both Jedi put together. Qui-Gon walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder, ordered a sandwich, then walked through a door marked Staff. Dex followed. The room was fairly big, and had a card table, a holovision screen, and a computer. All three men sat down around the table. Qui-Gon began to eat his sandwich.
" So, Qui-Gon, or whatever you're going by now, what brings you to my restaurant?" The large alien asked in his booming voice.
"I'm going by Quinn now, and my apprentice is going by Kenwi. I want to know all about a man named Bouta Noul and about the leak in the Jedi Order. By the way, I thought you were moving to Coruscant, what happened?"
"Oh, yeah. I lost my traveling money against a Horldol Calrissian. Do ya know 'im?"
"No, but I imagine his offspring will hope to inherit that kind of gambling luck, assuming he has any kids." Dex laughed.
"I know whatcha mean. About that Bouta. Yeah, he runs Ord Mantell, the power behind the throne. He likes bein' indapendant and won't listen to anyone. Word's out that he tried to kill a couple a Jedi, you know? Well, there's no persuadin' him to stop, but, you two could probly be able to get him taken out of the picture. He deserves anything you do to him for all the people he's murdered, women, children, anything to get him to the top. Once that happens, the leader of Ord Mantell could easily be persuaded to do anything. The only problem is, you gotta get to him first. I suggest you two call in help, from someone you can trust." He grinned. "The other thing is, he has five Sith warriors protecting him. I hear they're pretty skilled. I know nothing of any leak, so you're on your own there. And what happened to your apprentice? When I last saw him, face was as hairless as Master Windu's head."
"Are you sure we can trust him, Master?" Obi-Wan asked then answered, " I used the Force to grow my hair follicles on my face longer."
"I've known Dex for some years now, he is as trustworthy as Master Yoda." Qui-Gon grinned as he said goodbye to Dex and the duo exited.
"Who will we get to help us, Master?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Stay in character, Kenwi." Qui-Gon said sternly, "We'll call in Baldy and Lady Luck. We'll tell them what to bring and not to tell anyone but Shorty. Got it?"
"Yeah, Quinn." Obi-Wan nodded.
After he made the call, the duo walked to a nearby alley. There were four occupants leaning against a corner whispering to each other.
"Leave, yo! This is our alley! Don't make me shoot your punk self, foo!" One human male, about twenty in age yelled at the two mechanics coming in the alley.
" Like you could." Obi-Wan whispered under his breath.
"What was that, punk little dewback?" He yelled, waving his PK2 blaster. (imagine a starwars version of a 9mm. The gun most american cops wear.)
"I said, 'Why don't we be going now.'" Obi-Wan almost laughed. All four men grabbed their blasters and aimed them at the two mechanics. There was a tall man at the end of the alley on a rooftop, apparently not in the gang.
"We don't want any trouble." Qui-Gon said calmly with a touch of the Force. But the men's anger blinded them to Qui-Gon's words.
"Well you got it!" The human shot at Qui-Gon. He then dived to the side and drew his blaster, shot, then hit the ground. His apprentice did the same. Two of the men were down, that left two more. The two chased the mechanics One on Qui-Gon, one on Obi-Wan. Qui-Gon easily downed the man. Obi-Wan did the same. Then the figure dropped off the roof and attacked Obi-Wan with a teal lightsaber!
"Qui-Gon, we got a problem!" Obi-Wan screamed. Qui-Gon immediately dashed forward and saw the attacker. He was Nomack, one of the Lost Twenty!
"Qui-Gon?" Nomack hissed before Qui-Gon loosed a number of blaster bolts at him. He easily deflected them, then Force-pushed both Jedi to the ground before he disappeared down Nar Shadda's many streets and alleyways.
"Who was that?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Nomack, the seventeenth member of the Lost Twenty. He was an exceptional student, very wise, then he threw it all away and stabbed his Master. He fled and was never seen again. He has to be connected with the leak in the Jedi Order and with Bouta Noul. That would lead him back to Dex!" Qui-Gon quickly said as he called Dex.
"Dex are you ok?" Qui-Gon yelled.
"Yeah, I just lost my waiter droid and a few walls, though. I'm moving to Coruscant, now or never." Dex replied.
"Ok, I'll make sure to see you when you get there." Qui-Gon grinned.
Three hours later, the two mechanics clothed in black and gray flight suits walked into a room in the back of Dex's old restaurant. They went to the very back and sat down in a booth. They waited a few minutes before two more mechanics walked in. The taller one was bald and wore a dark green flight suit, the other was small and petite and obviously a woman. She wore a dark brown flight suit. They sat down next to the other mechanics.
"Hi, Mace." Qui-Gon greeted his long time friend. "And you Adi." He winked at the latter. She grinned.
"Good to see you, Qui-Gon. I got Obi-Wan's message, but what are we going to do?"
"Glad you asked, we're going to win a ship in a gambling tournament. We're jedi so it shouldn't be a problem. We then fly to Ord Mantell and split into two groups, the sneaking group and the strike group. Both groups make it to the same place, but different ways. Strike groups just goes, taking every enemy as it goes, while Sneak group crawls quietly through vents and cracked open windows." Qui-Gon answered.
"Master Windu, I sense other Jedi nearby, do you know who it is?" Obi-Wan asked the older Jedi.
"Yes, Obi-Wan." Mace grinned, " I heard about the Sith and invited two more friends." At that he grinned at two more Jedi walked in.
"Master Yoda, Master Tinn!" Obi-Wan exclaimed, "Wow, there is no way we can lose now."
"The killing is the matter, not." Yoda chuckled, "Take out Bouta Noul we must."
"Yes, Master Yoda." Obi-Wan nodded.
"I like Qui-Gon's plan." Adi said, and the group readily agreed. " Obi-Wan and I will be the sneaking squad, while the rest of you spearhead through Bouta's palace." The group of Jedi nodded their heads.
" I'll go to the casino, Mace and Obi-Wan can wait outside in case of any problems that might occur. Agreed?" Qui-Gon asked.
"Agreed." The five Jedi responded.
Hi, sorry about the long wait. Hope u like it. I got plans 4 this story a bit. Read the green stone trilogy, its good.
