Chapter 4

A large rumble sound filled the Slave II as a tractor beam surrounded the hull, slowly pulling them towards the star destroyer that pursue them. The sound became louder as they floated into the hangar of the large cruiser.

"Well we are screwed" sighed Jayden, Boba looked at him and took of his helmet to glare at him.

"So much negativity..." Boba shook his head. A squad of stormtroopers dashed around the corner before coming to a halt and pointing their weapons at the ship that just docked. Another group of stormtroopers ran around the same corner before splitting in half and lining up either side, once they had lined up they faced the centre like an alleyway and saluted. Soon afterwards a dark figure walked through a doorway just below the hangar control room. His walk was rather snobby, holding his head high. Boba glared at him, he knew exactly who he was even at first glance.

"Who is that?" asked Jayden.

"Grand Moff Tarkin" replied Boba. Tarkin walked towards the ramp and thumped on the metal plating before shouting "Open up!" The ramp dropped slowly, Boba and Jayden stood at the top like statues.

"Well Gentlemen what a pleasant surprise" waved Tarkin at the bottom of the ramp. The two bounty hunters waved back slowly in a sarcastic manor.

Behind Boba's back Jayden thought to himself " oh my, he whiffs more than a Borcatu rolling in rubbish back home." Jayden smiled at his remark even though he never shared it aloud. Tarkin gestured for the two to exit the ship and walk down the ramp, Boba and Jayden decided to do so, strolling down the ramp cautiously due to the current relationship between them and the Galactic Empire.

"I must apologise gentlemen but we have been extremely busy. Our agenda has been filled to the brim, on top of that we have a jedi knight in captivity." informed Tarkin.

"And you are telling me this because?" replied Boba puzzled not knowing why he would share classified information like that to a mere bounty hunter.

"I'm notified you of this jedi purely because you have met her or at least someone close to her before." said Tarkin smiling, showing his teeth that were extremely white. You could tell he had a pocket full of credits.

"What do you mean?" Jayden hopped into the conversation. Tarkin looked at him still smiling before making hand gestures beckoning the two to follow him. Tarkin led them towards the cell block on the lower levels of the ship. Boba memorised the route just to be safe in case a quick get away is needed.

"Just this way gentlemen." assured Tarkin walking them down the aisle with jail cells adjacent to each other on either side of the corridor.

"This one, Lieutenant open cell number 29." ordered Tarkin to the jail officer. The door opened up with the sound of the hydraulics and a slight amount of steam from the pressure lock is visible. Sat there in front of them was a Twi'lek female dressed in brown robes. Her skin was a slight turquoise colour, her tendrils had a pattern of diamonds painted in black going down vertically from top to bottom. As soon as the jedi saw Boba she became aggressive and tried to charge at him but was immediately pulled back to the wall via chains.

"Nice to meet you too." said Boba cockily. The jedi glared at him, Boba knew he would be dead if that jedi got loose.

"You killed my master... and for it you will pay." whispered the jedi

"What was your masters name? I killed many of them, I don't remember you masters insignificant existence." laughed Boba. The Twi'lek now enraged tried once more to charge but failed again.

"His name was Mordo Lorayen!" shouted the jedi. Jayden nudged Boba "It's that guy we killed on Coruscant." whispered Jayden quietly so only Boba could hear.

"And my name is Aulumni Kihe'tibar." blurted the jedi as she started to sob over her loss once more. Tarkin beckoned the bounty hunters out of the cell to leave the jedi to her peace, not that Tarkin had any remorse or sympathy. The three of them entered a turbo lift leading towards the bridge, as they arrived an ensign saluted the Grand Moff and gave him an intelligence report of the local sector. Once handed over the ensign saluted for a second time before returning to his post at the radar terminal on the lower deck.

"Welcome to my bridge gentlemen where all of the work is done." said Tarkin softly as if he was welcoming them to his residence.

"Well I like the colour scheme...uh,very grey." complimented Jayden sarcastically.

"Thank you" Tarkin replied not understanding the sarcastic tone in Jayden's voice. The Moff walked down the aise of the deck. It was a long strip segregating two compartments with officers at terminals.

"Wow, everything is grey their bloody uniforms are as well..." Jayden whispered to Boba again in a joking tone. Boba looked at Jayden and smiled.

"It represents how dull they are." commented Boba, this time Jayden smiled back before re-entering the conversation between Tarkin and them.

"Gentlemen now you are here, I wanted to inform you of a bounty." said Tarkin

"Oh, I see..." replied Boba, Jayden moved closer out of interest.

"His name is Yularen Robinson, another jedi knight. He has evaded our grasp for some time and we want you to take him out."

"And what if we do not accept?" implied Jayden,

"Vader will crush you both under his foot." snapped Tarkin.

"Fine by me..." Boba jumped into the dispute. An officer on the deck signalled the moff by hand gestures, Tarkin walked over to him. Jayden couldn't quite make out the conversation but heard parts of words or sentences. Then an alarm sounded as two large ships jumped into the sector directly ahead. The ships were Imperial class one Star Destroyers with a red stripe painted down the starboard side and a logo on the command tower at the stern.

"Who the hell are these?" yelled Tarkin. "How did they get Star destroyers!" In the commotion Boba and Jayden ran to the turbolift and went downwards towards the hangar. As soon as they arrived they saw Slave II before getting confronted by stormtroopers.

"Where do you think your going?" asked the Sergeant.

"These are not the bounty hunters your looking for." said Jayden waving his hand.

"We ain't jedi you twit" proclaimed Boba before pulling out his blaster and firing to the stormtroopers surprise. The troopers hit the floor like a pile of bricks and allowed Jayden and Boba to their ship. Without thinking they ran up the ramp into the cockpit and started to mash buttons to start the engines. Tarkin still stood on the deck, saw the Slave II zoom past the viewing port towards an asteroid field.

"Hide in the asteroids until this battle is over." advised Boba to Jayden who was piloting the ship.

"Good idea..."
