Episode 2
Mai
Sitting on the pile of junk, Garth continues to stare at the hooded woman near him.
"How do you feel?" The woman asks. "That was quite a fall."
Garth kept silent, his head continues to throb in pain. He doesn't trust the woman yet. He wonders what he should do now.
"Oh, you must be the silent type aren't you?" The woman asks.
Garth gets up from the pile; the grunt he made as he lifts himself up is the only sound he made.
"At least I got something out of you," the woman went. "Do you have a name?"
Garth continues to ignore her, walking and looking around, wondering where he's at, and where the law enforcers might be.
"Geeze, what a jerk," Mai thought aloud.
Garth checks his pockets, seeing what he saved. He left his gun on the speeder, which is probably history by now. Garth never brought a second weapon like he should've done.
Garth turns to the girl who hasn't moved yet, thinking she might be useful after all. "Where are we?"
"Finally," the girl went. "Now that you're talking, could you perhaps give me your name?"
"I asked where we are," Garth growls.
"Give me your name first, then I'll tell you," the girl demands.
Garth growls, wanting to take the girls head right off. The he suddenly hears the sirens from the law enforcement speeders. They finally activated the sirens, and it sounds real close.
"Damn it," Garth curses as he turns around and runs in random direction into a dark alley.
"Hey wait," the hooded girl yells out.
The girl removes her hood, revealing that he's human, pale skin and white hair.
*****
Garth runs further into the alleys, the sirens are now getting quieter, sounding like he's safe.
Garth leans onto a wall, taking in a deep breath. Garth starts thinking to himself, all right, unarmed and lost, now what?
"Over here," says a voice nearby.
"Crap," Garth silently said as he begins hiding behind some boxes.
Garth waits in silence, hearing several pairs of footsteps are echoing closer towards his position. His sweat slowly rolls down the side of his head, as he struggles to control his breathing, staying as quiet as possible.
After what felt like an eternity, Garth sees several law enforcers walking up the alley, each carrying their own blaster pistol
Garth continues to struggle to control his breathing. If he breathes to loud, he's caught.
"Hold it," says one of the law enforcers, holding a hand-held radar device. "We're not alone, there's something here."
All the law enforcers places themselves on high alert, with their blaster pistols and rifles ready, they start searching the area.
Damn it, Garth thinks to himself.
*****
In a Megazaign Corporation headquarters, the new president of the corporation sits at his desk, counting the money that his company recently earned.
The president is overweight with brown hair. The president is human and with pale skin. His eyes are blue.
"Mr. Ruzz, our secondary headquarters has been hit," his secretary reported through a comlink.
"What?" Ruzz went.
"It was the rebels again, this time their attack was a terrorist attack. So far there were only two survivors, but barely."
"Damn them," Ruzz said. "Make sure you give me the full report straight from the investigation by tomorrow morning when I come back in."
"Yes sir," his secretary said before closing the link.
Ruzz sets himself deep into his chair, no longer continuing his recently collected funds.
"Is there a problem Dan?" Said a voice hidden in the darkness.
"What the hell do you want?" Dan Ruzz asks.
"I want you to start your own investigation on this terrorist attack," says the figure as he moves out of the darkness. The man is hidden in a black hooded cloak.
"Do you really think I'll take orders from a dead man?" Dan Ruzz asks.
"You will follow my orders, or I'll strike you down where you stand," the man threatens.
"Why can't I leave this investigation to the locals? It's their job," Dan insists.
"I sensed a great disturbance in the force, during the attack and after the attack. A great and powerful disturbance in the force. A Jedi is possibly with them."
"But the Jedi is on the side of the New Republic, and the New Republic is on our side. If the Jedi is against us, then so would the New Republic."
"Then perhaps it is someone with great force was there," the man suggests to himself. "Run the investigation."
"Personally, I still don't like the idea of someone like you helping me. But alright fine, I will run the investigation," Dan went. "Darth Sidius."
*****
Garth remains hidden, as the law enforcers continue to search for him.
The enforcers hadn't checked the boxes yet, but are getting close. Each second irritates Garth, edging him closer to scream.
When Garth looks around, he sees the same girl that he met before behind. The surprise of seeing her there surprised him to almost yell out completely.
The law enforcers heard Garth, "behind those boxes."
The enforcers surround the boxes, with their lights and blasters pointing at the boxes.
"Show yourself, immediately," one of the enforcers demands. "Show yourself or we will open fire." Still nothing. "Fire."
The entire group of the enforcers shoots several rounds from their blasters at the boxes, shooting right through them. The enforcers continues to shoot, for about a half a minute.
The boxes are full of nothing but holes. One of the enforcers moves in to check behind the boxes. After checking it, the enforcer looks back, "not here."
"What?" The leader went. "Check it."
The enforcer with the radar checks it again, "gone."
*****
In the sewers, Garth catches his breath through the rotting smell of sewer junk and liquid.
"Are you alright?" The girl asks Garth.
Garth again remains silent.
"You know, I did save your life." The girl went.
Garth sighs, "your right. My name is Garth Bray."
"Finally," the girl is pleased. "My name is Mai."
Garth gets back up and starts walking away.
Mai suddenly went, "level forty-four, sector twenty-eight."
Garth turns around to face Mai in confusion, "what?"
"We're currently in level forty-four, sector twenty-eight, region four-hundred and twenty eight to be exact."
"Oh," Garth said. "Then, do you know where I can find the nearest spaceport?"
"Yeah," Mai went. "There's one not that far from here."
"Take me there then," Garth demands.
"Okay, and here you go," Mai went, holding out a package.
Garth grabs the package, and opens it. Inside it contains a blaster pistol.
"What the...?"
"I figured you're a rebel, are you not?" Mai asks. "What good is a rebel if he's unarmed? Even if they recently became a terrorist."
"Are you going to turn me in?" Garth asks, wondering how Mai found out about him.
"Only if you promised to protect me," Mai demands in return.
"Why shouldn't I just kill you right now, or even just leave you here now that I have a blaster."
"I can read you like a book," Mai went. "I can tell you wont kill me and that you're bluffing. Also that you wont just abandon me because you need me for several different things."
"Oh, name one," Garth demands.
"I have unlimited access to my families funds, and it contains a lot of money."
"A rich girl playing as a poor one?" Garth asks.
"I can pay for both of our tickets with those funds," Mai immediately said.
"I'll just hijack a craft," Garth said, walking away with the blaster that Mai gave him.
Mai growls. "They'll shoot you down you know, or maybe use a tractor beam to bring you in."
"Then I'll just fight to the death with this pistol," Garth went, holding up his new pistol.
"Okay, what if I told you that I could help you bring the Megazaign Corporation down?"
Garth stops, wondering what Mai is talking about. He turns around, "what do you mean?"
"Take me with you, and I'll explain," Mai insisted.
Garth thinks quietly to himself, "alright, but you better know."
Mai smiles, "of course I do. Oh and by the way, your blaster pistol is fresh from the Megazaign Corporation factories."
"It is?" Garth asks. Megazaign's weapons are usually slightly stronger then other weapons. The freedom force only managed to gain hold on a few of their weapons. Its range can cause more damage with a better chance of a critical damage and its range is five meters longer then normal blaster pistols.
The blaster pistols are normally given to military classes, how Mai got a hold of it is a brainteaser. Even what makes it even bigger, is that Mai said it's fresh from the enemies factory. The girl doesn't even look very strong; she doesn't look strong at all. How in the universe could she get a hold on such a weapon?
"So, are we going?" Mai asks.
Garth not saying a word, nods his head yes.
"Great, so where are we going?" Mai asks in a cheerful manner.
Garth turn around to start running, "to Alderaan."
"Alderaan?" Mai asks, watching Garth running away. Mai growls as she starts running too. "I thought Alderaan was destroyed during the Civil War over forty-years ago."
"It was," Garth starts to explain. "The survivors who weren't on the planet at the time built a new Alderaan after the war ended."
Mai repeats in question quietly to herself, "built a new Alderaan?"
*****
At the spaceport, Mai sits at a communication monitor, gaining access for money. After collecting what she needs, she leaves the computer and runs up to her newfound friend Garth.
"Got it," Mai happily said.
"Then let's go," Garth insisted.
The spaceport is crowded with many people. With this much people of mixed races, it might be best if they wait until later when they pilot towards Kuat, and leave for the Alderaan system from there. That might be the best time to talk.
Mai gives Garth half the money, more then enough to get in.
Garth then went, "I'll be at the bar, meet me on the ship to Kuat. Got it?"
"Got it," Mai went, taking off.
As soon as Mai is out of sight, Garth suddenly realized that he shouldn't have let her go, especially since she may help bring the enemy down. Garth decides to ignore it, the girl probably was lying when she mentioned she could help bring the corporation down. After ignoring it, Garth moves on towards the bar.
*****
After over a half-hour of waiting, the ship is about to take off, Garth sitting in his seat watching out the window, waiting for Mai.
Where is she? Garth asks himself in thought.
*****
Mai comes rushing through the crowd, trying to get onto the ship to Kuat.
Suddenly, as if a huge wave starts carrying her off, Mai finds herself in the middle of a crowd, heading towards another large ship.
"No, I'm not suppose to be on that ship, someone please help me," Mai cries out.
*****
Garth watches through the window, seeing that Mai is being forced into another ship with a strange writing on it. He doesn't recognize the language of it, but it is memorial.
The ship to Kuat lifts off, as it leaves the planet.
*****
"No," Mai cries out while watching the ship to Kuat takes off, as the mixed aliens continues to force her to the large ship.
*****
The ship to Kuat leaves Coruscant behind, and switches over to hyper drive in order to be at Kuat in less then six hours.
*****
Next Week:
On the planet Geonosis, Mai takes cover behind a boulder, hiding from the Geonosians that is chasing her.
Catching her breath, she wonders what happened. She found her way to Geonosis where the ship took her too. She looked around the town a little bit, then somehow found herself outside of town, and gets chased by the natives.
"Can't believe I chanced with a jerk like him," Mai thought quietly aloud to herself.
Hearing something behind her, Mai spun around as a reaction, finding a Geonosis there.
Next Week: Alderaan
