Episode 3
Alderaan
In a spacecraft in the middle of space, Garth watches through the side windows, watching the stars that moves on by. Garth thinks quietly to himself as he remembers what the girl said to him, starting to regret it.
*****
"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 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.
*****
Continuing to stare out the window, wondering if he should've made sure the girl came with him. It's too late now, now she's on some other planet. What's worse is that he doesn't recognize the language at all.
Realizing that he's near the Alderaan, Garth leans towards the window, watching the view he never gets tired of.
Decades before when the Galactic Civil War was starting, the Galactic Empire destroyed Alderaan with the Death Star. The survivors who were on other planets supported the Rebel Alliance until the war has ended. When the Yuuzhan Vong race invaded the galaxy twenty-five years after the war ended during the New Jedi Order era, the Alderaan survivors built a space station exactly where their planet use to be, and named it Alderaan II, but most Alderaans just call the station Alderaan.
Not many people know that the station existed, even the planets where the Alderaans get their supplies and resources. The station is bluish- green all over, with some weapons for protection. It wasn't as big as their planet was, but due to the population, it's almost as big as the Death Star. The Alderaans population increased dramatically over the years, but is now recently slowing down.
The craft flies towards the station in slow speed, long enough for the station to confirm the crafts code, proving they're not hostile or foreigners.
After what seamed for a long time, the craft finally docked in one of the docking bays of the station. When the station is finish docking, Garth walks out into the bay.
Looking around, he spots his Head General walking in his direction. Garth stands at attention, seeing what he wants.
When the Head General reaches Garth, he said, "I've learned that your strike leader was killed during the mission. I'm putting your unit on hold until I find a replacement."
Then the Head General walks away, and Garth watches him as he leaves. Garth takes a deep breath and continues on towards his quarters.
*****
Lying in his bed, staring up at the ceiling. He still couldn't get the image of Mai out of his mind.
"What does she want from me?" Garth asks the illusion of Mai.
Hearing a ring from his door, Garth wanted to be alone, but yet something tells him that he should answer. "Enter," Garth yells.
Zen walks into the room, "hey, heard you just got back. What kept you?"
"Ran into some trouble, now get lost," Garth explained.
Both men remain in silence. Zen wants to get to know Garth more, but Garth isn't in a talkative mood, as always.
As Zen is about to leave, Garth finally couldn't take it anymore about Mai, "hold on a minute."
Zen stops and turns around, thinking that Garth might finally be ready to talk.
"Can you locate someone for me, through a written alien language?" Garth asks.
"It is difficult," Zen begins to answer, "but not impossible. Why?"
Garth gets off of his bed, "I'll explain once you found it."
*****
On Coruscant, the Megazaign Corporation president Dan Ruzz is writing and checking reports on the attack on his company the night before. He believed that he's alone, until he spots Darth Sidius in the corner of his eye.
Dan sits back on his chair and asks, "what do you want now?"
Darth Sidius reveals some of his features, "did you ever found out anything about the terrorist attack last night?"
"No," Dan went. "All I know about the attack that there was six terrorists that attacked the company, but only one of them was killed. The rest escaped just before the building escaped. The local law almost caught one of the terrorists whose speeder was damaged during the escape, but they lost him."
"Well?" Darth Sidius asks.
"I don't know anything else yet," Dan went. "My investigators are completely unreliable. I have to rely on the local law investigators."
Darth Sidius remains silent, "the terrorist with the strong force in him has left this planet last night. Very well then, I will send one of my apprentices to locate him."
"One of your apprentices? How many do you have?" Dan asks.
Darth Sidius just smiles and disappears in thin air.
Dan thinks to himself, he's still a complete mystery to me. He even has learned powers and abilities that no Jedi has or even know that exists.
* * * * *
Back on Alderaan, Garth stands behind Zen as Zen searches through his computer databases for the language Garth showed him. The written language that Garth memorized that was on the ship that Mai was forced on.
"I think I found it," Zen answers. "The language is called Geonosies. It came from the planet called Geonosis of the Outer Rim Territories. Wild Space to be exact, between Tatooine and Ryloth."
Garth is familiar with where Tatooine is located, but still never heard of Ryloth or Geonosis.
"Do you know anything about that planet?" Garth asks.
Zen is a fanatic about great military history throughout the universe. All the way back during the first Jedi Civil War over a millennia ago against the Sith.
"Geonosis is where the Clone Wars started in," Zen answers. "The Geonosis is also home of the Geonosians. Think of them as giant semi- civilized insects. Their technology isn't very advanced, they lost most of their technology during the Clone Wars."
"A lot of factions did," Garth reminds Zen.
"So, what's there?" Zen asks, as if they decided it as a trade.
Garth supposed to gone ahead and explained, "during my escape on Coruscant, I ran into a girl name Mai. She helped me escape, but in return she wanted me to bring her here."
"You can't bring any outsiders onboard this ship," Zen reminds Garth.
"I know, but she claimed she could help us bring the corporation down," Garth explained as he starts walking towards the door.
"How?" Zen asks.
"Don't know, but something tells me that I should go find her," Garth explains.
"Well, are sure are you?" Zen asks.
Garth holds out the blaster pistol that Mai gave him.
"What's that?" Zen doesn't recognize it. "Is that blaster from the corporation?"
"Fresh from the factory. The woman stole it somehow and gave it to me as another deal to get her out of Coruscant."
"Amazing," Zen thought aloud. "If that's the case, if you're planning on a rescue mission, count me in."
"Oh?" Garth asks.
"Even though the Geonosians isn't very advanced, you still might need my help," Zen explains.
Garth nods, Zen might be useful.
*****
"Are you confident that she could help us?" The Head General asks.
Garth isn't sure, but is confident, "it's a gut feeling sir."
Garth knows that gut feelings are right up the Head Generals alley. The Head General always believes in gut feelings, and all of his gut feelings came true so far.
The Head General sits back on his chair, taking in deep thought. "I'm glad that my teachings about trusting your instincts and feelings is starting to effect everyone."
"Yes sir," Garth went.
"I'll put you in charge of the rescue operation, but I want you to take a small number of men. Take your squad there, that should be enough."
"Yes sir," Garth solutes and walks towards the exit.
"Oh, and Bray," the Head General went.
Garth turns around and face the Head General to see want he wants.
The Head General quickly went, "after this mission, start loosing up. I've noticed that you're always uptight and quiet. The trip is around a hundred and twenty hour trip to their and another hundred and twenty hours back, take that time to work on that."
"Yes sir," Garth said, leaving the office.
*****
Darth Sidius waits on a balcony, admiring the skies of Coruscant. The speeders flying above and below are mostly quieter then earlier.
"Master, you summoned me?" Said a hooded figure walking out of the darkness.
"Yes, there was a very powerful force here last night during that terrorist attack. The terrorist with the high force level has left the planet, I want you track him or her down and bring him or her here. The person is most likely to be a terrorist, but I am not certain."
"Of course, I have sensed the presence too," said the hooded apprentice. "The person headed for a system called the Kuat, or at least in that direction."
"Very good, your senses have always been excellent," Darth Sidius went. "Your ancestor Darth Maul will be proud of your training."
"Yes my master," the hooded figure removes his hood, revealing his face that looks exactly like Darth Maul.
"Your ancestor was my first apprentice, before a Jedi by the name Obi- Won Kenobi killed him. My third apprentice got the revenge. Just to let you know."
"What about the others?" The apprentice asks.
"They're not ready for combat, you're my most gifted warrior, Darth Crut."
*****
"Are we ready yet?' Garth demands.
"Almost done," one of his squad members reports.
"Good, the sooner we get done, the sooner we leave," Garth went.
Zen walks up to Garth, "man, am I excited."
"Why?" Garth asks, semi-curious.
"I think this is the first time this squads leader has been replaced by a member of this squad. Especially when replaced by someone who hasn't been in our military services for that long."
"Oh?" Garth asks. "Then I'm the first."
"And youngest," Zen adds, then left to help load the rest of the cargo onto the craft.
Watching the squad work, Garth starts thinking to himself, what am I doing here?
*****
Darth Crut is his spacecraft fly through space. He remains in silence as he heads in the direction he believes where the person with the strong force was headed for.
Darth Crut suddenly sensed the figure, flying right by at incredible speed.
Darth Crut thinks to himself, there he goes.
Darth Crut changes his crafts direction, and follows the craft that flew by him.
* * * * *
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.
The Geonosis has a very angry look on its face, as it raises its weapon, slams it into Mai's forehead. Mai then blacks out.
*****
Next Week:
Looking around the dead-end room, she finds nothing but Geonosian eggs and a human looking body. The body is almost two meters tall, and his skin is light pale. His hair is of a ruby color, and with his eyes wide-open Mai can see that he has sapphire colored eyes. The body shows no sign of any damages or struggle, in fact no signs of being wounded at all.
Mai walks up to the body with caution, very worried about the eggs that could hatch at any second. When Mai reaches the body, she begins checking on him, seeing no signs of life.
Then she hears something behind her, spinning around she spots two Geonosian workers staring at her with anger.
Mai quickly gets into a fighting stance with her blaster drawn out and ready to fire.
As soon as the two Geonosians realize that Mai is threatening them, they retaliate in defense by attacking first. Mai dodges both of their attacks, both came close to hitting her.
