Hi, sorry for not updating, I've been juggling a few different things. (,
pretty cool huh? Look at this (. Yeah, you like that. I got some of the
stuff in this chapter from the Rundown, so this is kinda a disclaimer for
it.
Chapter 5- On the Casino Floor
Hioul Trouski looked at the newcomer, he was a bald, dark-skinned man and was dressed like a mechanic. He wore a few tools on his belt and an empty holster due to security. He had already one over fifty thousand credits, a speeder, and a new wardrobe. He almost never lost. He was currently playing the roulette wheel. And surprise surprise, he won. Hioul was really getting sick of this lucky son of a bantha. Well, Hioul thought, No one has luck like that. He must be cheating. He then got up and walked over to him.
"Greetings," the man nodded to Hioul as he bet all his winnings on a medium sized space cruiser in a game of sabacc.
"Greet this," Hioul snarled as he threw his fist at the tall man's face. The man reached out with his left hand, blocked the punch, and punched Hioul in the nose. Dark blood spilled out as Hioul was escorted away yelling, "He's a cheater, a cheater!" Then security came and Hioul smirked.
"Cheater, cheater." The unknown attacker yelled as dark blood spilled from his nostrils. Mace Windu quickly threw all of his winnings into a large backpack he had carried in with him. It was almost full, and the newest addition was the access codes to a new ship. The group had decided to send Mace into the casino at the last minute while Qui-Gon looked into Nomack with Adi. He'd sell the speeder and give all the money to the Jedi Temple, save for a few hundred credits for the next time he went out somewhere, like the occasional holo Master Yoda would allow him to sneak off to with his friend, Qui-Gon. The security came. Five burly men of different species, there were three humans, a trandoshan, and an ishi-tib. They all came at Mace with riot sticks.
"I didn't cheat, I won my earnings fair and square." Mace defended himself. He was calm, and he reeked of raw strength and tactical intelligence.
"I've heard that a million times," the human glared at him, "Now give me your winnings and get out."
"I'll give you two options, option one and option two." Mace grinned inwardly, "Option one is you let me go peacefully, or two, I go and you five get hurt. Choose."
"What are you, some kinda Jedi, trying to be all calm?" The trandoshan snarled.
"Nope, just a prophet." Mace grinned outwardly this time.
"And what do you see?" The ishi-tib was getting a kick out of this.
"I see a lot of pain, and me getting out of here with my winnings." Mace replied, his face betraying no emotion.
"Ok, then I choose option three." The other human grinned.
"There is no option three." Mace furrowed his eyebrows.
"Yeah, then what is this?" The third human asked as he and the ishi-tib lunged at Mace. Mace dodged, a fist into each of their necks, and leapt onto a dice table while grabbing the pole used for pushing aside winnings. He then stabbed the horseshoe shaped end of the pole at the trandoshan flying towards him. While holding his neck, he then kicked the trandoshan hard in the throat, leaving him gurgling. Throwing the pole like a spear, it hit the human he knocked down in the throat, also leaving him gurgling. That left two humans and the ishi-tib. Leaping off the table, he slid on the polished floor and slid under one of the human's legs. Then, pushing his back, the man's throat fell on his feet. The Mace got up and smashed his face in with his heel. He removed two credit chips from his sack and threw them at the remaining opponents. They coins hit them between the eyes and they fell. Mace walked past the downed security force and collected his coins, then remembered his blaster and collected that, too. He then strode out of the casino, grinning.
