Chapter 6

Mira turned around to answer the young Jedi, then noticed what he was looking at. A small regiment of troopers lead by a black hooded figure. She shook her head, could this day get any worse. The troopers lead by what Mira suspected was a dark adept walked up to them.

"By order of Lord Scorpious, Mira Conte you are under imperial arrest." The dark adept said.

"And if I don't, I take it your troopers will shoot, an adept like yourself not being able to use the force and fight for himself. The emperor has really been scraping the bottom of the barrel hasn't he." Mira said in a smug sort of way.

"Yeah, only a dark Jedi needs an entourage." Merak said still following Mira's lead.

B.C. however kept her mouth shut.

"I'm one of the more successful adepts, and hunting down Jedi like yourselves is just the icing on the cake." The dark adept said back motioning for the troopers to take the Jedi into custody. He walked up to the quiet B.C. and looked at her. " And your under arrest for conspiring with enemies of the empire."

"I came to only get what was mine from these Jedi. I'm not one, nor have I ever been one, and clearly you know Tattooine isn't a empire run planet."

"Every planet is run by the Empire, take her." He said as the troopers advanced.

Two troopers grabbed B.C. to arrest her. Suddenly the main blaster on the Commenor's dream opened fire cutting down the two troopers. The dark adept ran for cover.

"I thought you checked that ship for life forms and droids!" He shouted

" We did, nothing came up on the scans." Another trooper shouted back.

Mira looked at Merak. "Take cover."

"What about you?" Merak asked.

"I'll be ok, nothing I can't handle." Mira said again as she activated her lightsaber. Merak ran behind some crates to hide. He then saw something unexpected. Ori flipped her hand and a light saber flew out, she activated it and then with a flip the other end lit up, a duel bladed lightsaber. The blade however wasn't red like he expected, but a bright purple."

"I see you modified yours again." Mira replied to B.C. as she deflected laser blasts with her saber.

"Yeah, well this is a rare form of de-javu, just like old times right?" B.C stated back as she too deflected blasts back to their shooters.

"Yep, and it makes it all the more fun, shall we?"

"Let's." B.C. replied to her old friend.

And then both B.C. and Mira ran, jumped and using the force flipped over the troopers and began taking them down easily. Just as quickly as it started it was over, troopers lie dead and a few escaped to fight another day. B.C. deactivated her saber and looked to Mira.

"I guess I'm coming after all, we better hurry, we just angered the nest, and they will start to swarm soon."

Mira didn't need another word. With that she opened the Commenor's Dream and the three started to climb onboard. The ship had already started it's launch sequence.

"Wait," B.C. said as she stopped on the ramp, turned and whistled. A large metallic ball rolled into the bay and up to her, she nodded and it followed her onto the ship.

"New Droid:" Mira asked B.C.

"One of my own design, beautiful as a butterfly, deadly as a scopion"

The ramp closed and soon the Commenor's Dream was free of the planet. In the distance however was a smaller ship, this one piloted by the adept who had just faced Mira. He watched the Commenor's Dream and followed. He then radioed in.

"Dark Adept Walric to Captian Noi're. Located the Commenor's Dream. Jedi Master Mira Conte is aboard. Commencing with persuite"

Over the radio came a low evil voice.

"Understood, We will home in on your signal. As soon as you find her do not confront again. I will attend to her personally. Captain Noi're out."

Aboard the Empires new tactical warship Captain Noi're paced. His droid arm still a constant reminder of Mira. The scars across his face other signs of who had won the other battles between the two. Captian Jayce Noi're wanted Mira more then anything and had turned to the dark side in a bid to get her to be with him. Though a Jedi can not know love, he wasn't convinced that was that was the correct path for her. Jayce was a talanted inventor. Emperor Scorpious convinced him that if he joined the dark side and invent for him that he would have Mira for his own. He joined the dark side for this matter alone. His main purpose in life was to show Mira the error of her ways by becoming a Jedi. To him all Jedi were scum who needed to be destoryed. Without the Jedi, he figured, Mira would have no choice but to take her place with him. He wanted her to be at his side forever and would do everyting he could to make this far fetched dream a reality. The two continued to play a game of cat an mouse, and Mira had always escaped. Where once was a good friend to Mira, his walk down the path of the dark side changed that and the two became enemies.

"This time you won't escape me Mira, this time I will win the fight and you will be mine. And not even your Jedi friends can help you. My plan is falling into place."
