Chapter 2
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
The red TIE fighter entered the Star Destroyer's docking bay and no sooner than it was parked did its top hatch open and a man in a bright red pilot uniform jumped out, landing with a loud BONG as his boots hit the ground. The pilot tore off his helmet and yelled, "Find her jump coordinates and go after her!" He was a tall, pale human male with a bald head and green eyes and a body that was thin, like a runner's. "We started doing so as soon as the Jedi made the jump to hyperspace Lord Thal, however she did not go on any known route, it's as if she made a blind jump," the shorter and stouter Captain of the Star Destroyer said as he followed his superior through the halls. Lord Thal thought about that then said, "Keep trying anyway, a Jedi isn't dead until we see the body."
"But my Lord, a blind jump is the riskiest thing one can do! She could have died a thousand different ways!" the Captain said. Lord Thal spun around and grabbed the Captain by the front of his shirt and lifted him one armed above his head. He then slowly said, "A Jedi isn't dead until we see the body. Find her, Stal, or you will test your little theory personally." Lord Thal dropped the wide eyed Captain Stal and watched him speedily walk away to his station. "Lord Thal," a junior officer said as he walked up to him. "What?" Lord Thal asked. "Lord Vader has demanded to speak with you," the junior officer nervously said. Lord Thal grits his teeth and said, "Patch him through to my private chambers," he then ran to his private chambers. He opened the door and went in to a bare room with a bed, a black closet, a desk with three deactivated lightsabers on it, and the handle to a long lightsaber pike hanging on the wall, as well as a large holographic display in the middle of the room.
Lord Thal activated the holographic display to display a life sized image of his Lord, Darth Vader. "Kandall Thal, report," the Dark Lord of the Sith's bass voice sounded. Thal swallowed nervously as he said, "My Lord, I managed to locate her, but she escaped my troops on Nar Shaddaa. I gave chase of course, and heavily damaged her ship, but before I could kill her she found a hyperspace ring and escaped to I know not where." Darth Vader nodded his head and the eyes on his helmet seemed to stare into Thal's soul as he said, "That is not what I wanted to hear, Thal. Jof Favrem is too great a threat to the Empire for her to live. Perhaps I should come and…assist you."
"Th-that will be unnecessary my Lord, I am already well on my way to tracking her down, and with her ship so heavily damaged she may very well be dead already," Thal nervously said, he still had scars on his back from the last time his Lord had 'assisted' him that no amount of bacta could heal. "I will believe that she is dead when you present her head to me. Kill her, Thal, I will not tolerate another failure," Darth Vader said as the transmission ended, and Thal's throat tightened. He began to wonder if he would die before the feeling in his throat loosened and he inhaled. He got up and changed into his red armor and cloak, then walked to the bridge of the Star Destroyer.
Amity Park, Indiana
Vlad Plasmius looked at the twisted heap of metal on the ground with a large smile on his green face. "An extraterrestrial space craft," he said as he took a closer look, "I wonder what goodies are in you for me to use." Plasmius made multiple copies of himself that lifted up the space ship and the pieces that had scattered from it and all turned invisible as he flew off. This is quite an opportunity for me.
