Aye, Carumba…the delays just keep on coming…WE are going to say in advance that you better not expect US to update like WE normally do. WE have a very busy vacation. Sometimes WE just don't feel like posting. Sorry. WE hope this won't make the story less popular. WE do not own AW or SW. Oh well. May the Force be with you. WE always wanted to say that!

Chapter 11

SWW or ASW 7

Back at Jake's house, Jake and Colin were preparing for the upcoming event. Kanbai was watching in the distance. "Hmm…" he thought. Suddenly, Jake's mother walked up. "You have a very nice boy." Kanbai said to her. "He gives without any thought of reward."

"He knows nothing of greed." Jake's mother responded. "He deserves better than the life of a slave."

"He can see things before they happen." Kanbai stated out of the blue. "It's a CO trick. It explains why he has such quick reflexes. If he was born in the Allied Nations, he would have been spotted and trained as a CO." He hesitated and asked. "Who was his father?"

Jake's mother simply stated "There was no father." Kanbai was a little surprised at that. "I carried him, I gave birth to him, I raised him. I can't explain what happened." She turned to him and asked. "Can you help him?"

"I don't know." Kanbai responded. "I didn't come here to free slaves."

That night…

Jake and Kanbai were sitting outside. "You better rest up, Jake. You have a big day tomorrow." Kanbai said

"Look at all those stars!" Jake said. "Do they all have a system?"

"Most of them do." Kanbai answered.

"Has anyone ever been to them all?" Jake asked.

"Not very likely." Kanbai answered again.

"I'm gonna be the first one to see them all!" Jake announced, as Kanbai pulled out a needle and took a blood sample. "What's the blood sample for?"

"It's to make sure you have no infections." Kanbai responded. "Now get to bed."

After Jake had left, Kanbai contacted his apprentice. "Eagle, I need an analysis on the blood sample I'm sending you."

Back at the ship, Eagle examined the results. "Hmm…that's odd. Who's is this?" He asked.

:"It's a boy's." Kanbai told him. "I need a CO Power Meter check now."

"Whoa!" Eagle yelled in shock. "This boy's count is even higher than Master Sensei!"

"It's higher than that of any CO…" Kanbai stated.

Outside the city, in the desert…

A lone ship landed in the blazing sands of Orange Star. A hatch door opened, and the robed figure of Darth Clone emerged. He scanned the surroundings with some weird binoculars, and then pressed a few buttons. A couple probe droids appeared and flew to the city.

The next day, in the city…

"Ok, I supply the boy, you supply the entry fee, and we split the winnings 50/50." Adder said to Kanbai. It was mere hours until the battle began, and bets were being placed.

"If it's 50/50, then how about we make it more interesting?" Kanbai asked. "If we win, you get all the money, minus the cost of the parts I need, and if we lose, you get my ship. Either way, you win."

Adder thought for a moment (Wow. Adder, think.) "Hmm…deal…"

Later, near the arena…

"Ok, guys, get ready." Kanbai said to Jake and Colin. He then noticed Adder walking by. "Hmm…"

"Oh, it's you. You're starting to get annoying, you know that?" Adder hissed at Kanbai.

"Don't worry, by the time, the battle's over, we'll be on our way." Kanbai said, not affected.

"Not if your ship belongs to me!" Adder spat. "Besides, I'm putting my money on those two!" He pointed at Sonja and Lash. Koal gulped, hoping they wouldn't notice him.

"Why do that?" Kanbai asked.

"They always win!" Adder said. "I'm betting everything on them."

"I'll take that bet." Kanbai said. "I'll put up the tanks and weaponry in the battle, you put up the boy and his mother."

"No army is worth 2 slaves! Not by a long shot!" Adder screeched.

"The boy then." Kanbai said.

"We'll let fate decide! I happen to have a die right here. Odd number, the boy. Even number, his mother." Adder said, as he rolled the die. Kanbai used the Super CO Power to land the die on 5. Adder growled. "You won the small toss, but you won't win the battle!" He yelled, as he stormed off.

In the arena…

"Hello and welcome!" The announcer's voice boomed. "We have two teams here, ready to cause some chaos! On one side, we have reining champions Lash and Sonja!" A large applause boomed. "And challenging them is the team of Jake and Colin!" Some boos and weak applause was heard.

In the sidelines, Kanbai and the others were watching. "This is ridiculous!" Sasha said. "You're putting to much faith in these two."

"I can tell that they will win." Kanbai said, nonchalantly.

"You assume too much…" Sasha sighed.

"Are you ready?" The announcer said, asking an obvious question. "BEGIN!"

Well, that's it! WE know, you want the battle, but WE want you to want more. Anyway, please R&R, and post on the CO Chat forum. Anyway, WE have another problem. Some jerk decided to use OUR idea of White Nova, so WE need another name. It will keep the same color. To said jerk…you know who you are…come up with your own ideas!
