Chapter 3: Her First Fight (Aren't they so proud of her)

While in hyperspace, Cyber did a little hacking and discovered that Art Mer was an extremely wealthy - and therefore powerful - Neimodian.

Upon landing, Cyber and Maul left the Infiltrator and walked to the Neimodian's mansion. When they reached the entrance, a J-type protocol droid greeted them, escorted them into the entrance hall, and asked them for their names so that she could tell her master.

"Tell your master that a superior and a friend are here to discuss a contract," Maul told the droid.

"I will tell him that, O gracious lord. You and the lady may sit down if you wish, while I announce you to my master."

The droid left in its stilted walk.

Maul turned to Cyber and told her, "The Neimoidian is assessing us. Don't show it, but be ready for anything. If he knows who we come from, he will try to have us killed."

He was right. Within minutes of the droid leaving, battle droids popped out of the wall, and one of them, the commander, said, "Kill all."

Without even batting an eye, Cyber used the force to destroy about half of them. Maul did the same thing, leaving only the commander. As both Cyber and Maul crushed it, it said, "Need reinforcemen…"

Maul told Cyber, "Go over to the console and see if you can override the main controls."

"I know what to do, ya know," said Cyber, as she sprinted to the computer console and started hacking, with Maul close behind, swinging his lightsaber to deflect the shots that were already getting fired at them.

Within five minutes, the droids were destroyed, and within 2 minutes after that, Cyber complained, "And I was hoping for some extra practice. Oh yeah, I'm done."

"Good, let's move," said Maul

"Ya know for someone as rich as he is, he really has some awful security on his programs."

"Could you just shut up for once?"

"Nope."

"If you don't shut up now, I swear that I'm going to-"

"What? Kill me? You know that my uncle Sidious would be very upset with you if you did."

"Wait a sec. My master is your uncle?"

"What, you didn't know? Oops."

They walked through the door and into Mer's office, to find that he had left while they were fighting the droids and talking.

To Skywalker05: Thank you very very much for reviewing. No, you are not a mushrump. I didn't say much regarding Cyber's training because Sith training is a very well-kept secret and frankly, I haven't been able to find much on Sith training, other than it was brutal. Your question about Maul's character will be answered in later chapters. I hope that your question regarding Palpatine will be as well

To everyone else: Please R&R. I've only gotten one review, and I think I'm going to cry. I would really appreciate any suggestions, constructive criticism, or even praise of this story. Please? (sniff, sniff)
