Hello again, my true believers. I am truly sorry for not updating and all but it all comes down to one word: school. As this year ends, and Star Wars has had its final movie, Star Wars fans are wondering what is going to happen now for them. For me, Star Wars continues on. So here I am, still writing this story 8 months after Star Wars Episode 3 is over. So here it is, Chapter 8. P.S. DARTH VADER LIVES! Happy New Year, everyone!
Chapter 7: The Worst Beating of Your Life
He was sweating. "Let her go, Durge." The monster laughed at him. "Make me." He
looked at the monster and the girl in its hands. The monster was Durge, a 900 hundred
year old bounty hunter. The girl was Raven, who at the moment was unconscious. He
faced Durge once before, on Tatoonie, when Boba was being hired by Jabba the Hutt. In
the end, Boba completed the mission, leaving Durge to blow up in the facility there.
(Read note at the bottom of the chapter if you are confused.) Although Boba figured that
Durge was still alive, he did not expect him to see him again. Apparently, losing to a 13-
year old Mandolarin had not left Durge's mind. "Let her go, Durge, this is between you
and me, isn't that right?" The monster laughs again. "I don't think so. You see, you hurt
my pride and my ranking with the Separatists. They mocked me and placed that hunk of
metal crap, General Grievous, in command. So I might as well hurt something of yours in
return." He looked down at Raven. "You care about her, don't you? Want to say goodbye
to her before I break her neck?" That remark made Boba's blood boil. "Durge, you
di'kut, I'm taking you down!" Using his jetpack to propel him into the air, he rammed
into Durge. "Ooooff!" exclaimed Durge as he fell off the building to the street below.
Boba ran to Raven who Durge had let go of her. "Oh God, please tell me she is alright."
Boba checked her pluse. There was a faint beat. "She's alive, thank God." He turned to
see a fist flying into his face. It connected, sending Boba flying into a wall and out the
other side. "That felt good." Said Durge's voice. Boba stood up, trying to regain his
surroundings. Suddenly, a burst pain exploded in his chest. He clutched his chest.
"Arrgh, must have broken a rib!" But Durge was not about to stop. Firing needles from
his wrist launcher, they flew at Boba. One got its target. "Arrrgghhh!" Boba yelled in
pain as the needle flew his leg and blew out the outside, releasing blood. Blood starting
pouring from the wound. "HAHAHAHA! I am so enjoying this." More needles flew at
Boba. Too tired to dodge 2 of them, they flew though his right arm and left hand.
"Aaaarrggghhhh!" Falling onto his knees, Boba coughed up blood. Suddenly, Durge's
giant hand grabbed his throat and lifted Boba into the air. "Poor, poor Fett, so tired, so
weak. He can't save himself while trying to save another. Pitiful. Just how your father
went. To bad he's too dead to see his son fall." That remark gave Boba strength to
manage to raise his right arm and activate the flamethrower. The flame blasted into
Durge's face. "Arrggghh!" The surprise made Durge let go of Boba and backpedaled off
the building. He fell to the ground with a thud. He was knocked out cold. Boba sat down
for a moment, exhausted. "Have to get up. He won't stay out cold for long." Boba
struggled, but managed to get to his feet. He almost activated his jetpack to leave when
he remember something. "Raven!" He turned around to find her. She was still in the
same spot, knocked out cold. Boba bit his lip, he was in a situation that he had to get out
fast. He was not going to leave Raven with Durge, that was certain. But, he was weak
from the loss of blood and was not sure if he was strong enough pick her up. Then again,
he could call Slave I. But Durge was not going to give Boba time to act as he came flying
towards Boba. "You are not going to stop me from killing you, Fett!" Boba made a
decision. Running towards Raven as fast as his injured legs could, he gently scooped her
up with his left arm and jumped off the building. Jetpack boosters flared to life as Boba
flew into the air with Raven in his arms. Boba smiled then but the smile faded as a bleep
flew into his helmet's rader. He turned his head. It was Durge. "I got to lose him, or else
Raven and I are going to die." He turned his head to see, flying at him, a building! "Holy
crap!" Boba pulled up, centimeters close from being like a bug on a windshield. "That
was way too close, got to be more careful." Suddenly, lasers went flying around his head.
"That nut, he must be firing blasters, I got to find cover." Seeing an abandoned
warehouse nearby, he directed himself toward it. Flying through a window, he smashed
through and tumbled into something hard and to the floor of the warehouse. Raven fell
out of his arms. "Ow, let's not try that again." Boba got and looked at his surroundings.
It must have been a car factory that ran out of business. Then, he saw something. It was
one of the deactivated mines that his ship had dropped when he first landed on this rock.
An evil grin showed on Boba's face. He began to prepare his trap.
Durge was angry. He could not believe that Boba Fett was still alive. He admired
the young bounty hunter for his determination, but he was getting annoyed. He wanted to
end this, now. Flying into the warehouse where Fett had fled to, there standing in the
middle of the room stood Fett. "It is over, little boy, you cannot hide from me anymore.
Give up and you will die a quick death." "Funny, Durge, I was going to say the same
thing to you. But, since you said that, I guess you won't mind if I did this to you." Seeing
Fett hold up a device with a red button, Durge was puzzled. But as he saw the button
pushed, Fett flying out of the warehouse, and a seismic charge rolling next to him that he
figured out. He cursed, "Fett, you son of …" He didn't finish the sentence as the seismic
charge exploded.
As Boba saw the blue wave that split the warehouse in a million pieces and
continued to arch off into the sky, he smiled grimly. "So long, Durge." With that remark,
he continued to fly towards the place where he parked the Slave I.
The Slave I still looked like it was in one piece and that no one had discovered it,
thankfully. Deactivating his jetpack, he landed gently next to Slave I. Pulling off the
camouflage net and deactivating the force fields that surrounded his ship, Boba entered
his home. Putting Raven on his bed, he opened a small compartment. Inside the
compartment was a small med-droid that Boba had bought recently. It spoke, "Finally,
after the months that have gone by without an injury, you need me again, Master Fett,
and from the looks of it…" He scanned Boba and made a sound that was an equivalent of
a gasp of horror. "You are gravely injured, I need to stop the internal bleeding or else
you'll die." "Later E-3, I need you to check on her." Boba pointed to Raven. E-3 glanced
over to the girl and did a scan. "She's fine, Master Fett, only minor cuts and bruises. By
the way, Master Fett, since when have you been interested in girls?" Boba had to use all
his remaining strength not to blush. "She was a vigilante that was trying to capture me
when Durge appeared." E-3's photoreceptors turned from bright blue to yellow. "Durge?
So that's where you got those injuries. Why did you not run?" Boba looked at Raven.
"She was unconscious and Durge had her. I had to save her." "So you still do care about
helping others." "I don't. I just didn't want her to get…" Tears were coming out of
Boba's eyes for the first time in years. "I didn't want her to be like my dad…dead."
Walking over to the unconscious body of Raven, he pulled back the hood that was
covered the rest of her face. He gasped. It was her! She was the one in his dream. E-3
looked at Boba. "Before you find yourself going into flashbacks, I should remind you that
you are dying. That last word brought Boba back into reality. "Oh yeah. Sorry, E-3."
Boba laid himself on a table that appeared on a push of a button. E-3 gave him a shot that
made Boba feel sleepy. "Anesthetic, keeps you from feeling pain while I perform
surgery." "I'm tired, Dad." "What was that, Master Fett?" "Dad, it is too dangerous." E-3
had come to the conclusion that Boba was dreaming and watched. "No, Dad, watch out
for the lightsaber…NOOOOO!" Boba's yell echoed though the Slave I. E-3 watched
sadly as Boba thrashed around. This happened every time he went to sleep. He would
dream of that horrible event where his father was killed. When Boba quieted down, E-3
began to work.
At the End of the Solar System: The Invisible Hand
General Grievous stood on the command bridge of the Invisible Hand waiting for
the hyperdrive engines to stop. "Activate engines and power up shields. I don't want to
be ambushed by the Rupublic. A Neimondian said "Yes, sir." Grievous drifted on his
thoughts. "Soon we shall conquer a million worlds."
So how was that everyone? Review please! Later. Note: Read Star Wars: Boba Fett: Hunted if you want to see Boba and Durge's first clash.
