Risika decided to name her new acquaintance Jadoe. A peculiar name, but he
was a peculiar specimen. Jadoe continued to grow. He protected Risika when
unexpected predators arrived, and she protected him when a hungry mongoose
came hunting. Risika gained control of her gifts. Before her claws would
shoot out when she was sleeping or when she was unprepared.
She was only there for about two weeks when she ran out of food. Risika had
to hunt and kill the only safe animal to eat on the planet. It was a hog
like monster, with large tusks, and a hefty body. Good to roast over a
flame. Jadoe would feast on the pig along with Risika.
Risika used the blade she had fastened out of liquid metal to cut her hair
to shoulder length. It allowed her to maneuver easier. She continued to
train and even taught herself how to fly the speeder more accurately. She
was becoming a most excellent fighter. A most excellent Sith.
3 months later...
Their life was going smoothly, but hatred still built up inside of Risika. She couldn't let go of the fact that Obi-Wan was still alive, and Anakin was in love with some woman. Risika could barely sleep at night. She didn't know what to do. Always plotting in her head. Dreaming of the day she drives a blade through Kenobi's chest. The day Kenobi would fall to the grave. The day he would breathe his last breath. She had to do something. No more hiding in the middle of know where. No more waiting. No more plotting. It was time to act. It was time to kill. But she was just so confused. Tomorrow she would leave and take Jadoe along with her. But tonight she would rest. Risika was deep in slumber, curled up in her blanket. Jadoe rested, curled up at her side. She could barely hear an engine in the distance. Some sort of ship. She wasn't about to look, for it was probably nothing more than a dream. She felt a strange wind on her face, blowing her hair about. "Risika Maul." She could hear a deep voice shout. She opened her eyes and sat upright. "Who are you?" "You are under arrest for the attempted murder of high ranking Jedi Knight, Obi-Wan Kenobi." "But that was months ago. Why didn't you arrest me before I left Coruscant?" she reached her hand back slowly, for her bag. "We didn't know about the attempted assassination until after your disappearance. When Kenobi informed us we began the search immediately, but it took us a long time to find this small abandoned planet. So if you will, allow us to put the hand cuffs on you." he began to motion toward her. "Jadoe!" Jadoe leapt up and attacked the man. He was dead nearly instantly. More men began to pour out of the vehicle. Risika reached back and pulled out her fathers light saber. She turned it on and jumped to her feet. She reeled it around so quickly it was nothing but a red blur. She cut the men who came at her into pieces. Without a strong enough weapon they didn't stand a chance. Jadoe had his fill of throats, biting the few men Risika neglected to slaughter. In moments they were all dead. "Well that was fun." Risika smiled at her serpent. He hissed contentedly. "Let's go." She grabbed her things, climbed into her ship, and jetted off. They flew blindly for a long while. Searching for ideas. Risika didn't know what to do first. She could find Naboo. Kill this Padme'. Or she could search for her master. She began to fly near an asteroid field. She saw a light out of the corner of her eye. She turned around and saw six fighter pods. A voice came onto the speaker on her control panel. "Risika, stop your vehicle. We have come to take you into custody." She thought for a moment. Should she give up? Surrender? Let them lock her away? Never. She sped up, heading straight toward the asteroid field. "Risika Maul. Stop your vehicle now or we will have to use force." Risika smiled to herself. She reached the asteroids and weaved her way in. Flying up and down, twisting and turning through the rocks. She could hear three explosions. An even larger grin spread across her face. "Three down, three to go." One vessel was locked on her tail. No matter how fast she went, he wouldn't drop. She turned her pod around so she faced the follower. He couldn't stop. He nearly crashed into her, but she pulled up above him and let him smash into an asteroid. "That's four." Risika flew out of the asteroid field into open space. The other two were waiting. "Crap." She turned her shuttle around and began to speed away, but a laser hit the tail of her ship. "They're shooting at me. That's not fair." She flew back into the field, and the two fighter ships followed. They continued to fire at her. "What am I going to do Jadoe?" She stopped when a ship was coming at her from the front. One most have flew through the asteroid field to trap her. But Risika Maul would not be trapped. She flew upward as the two fighter ships that surrounded her fired at her. They shot one another and ignited. She flew out of the field and didn't slow down. "To Naboo it is. Now that I'm a fugitive I might as well just go and kill her, get it over with. Then work my way to Obi-Wan." Risika found a switch to change the shuttle over to autopilot. She spoke into the microphone. "The planet Naboo." "Locked on. Naboo. Arrival estimated: 16 hours." A blocky computer voice said.
