"Ok, here is where we plant the slime ball, but someone has to go in make sure it isn't sticking out to much."
We were hiding behind the cantina planning what we were going to do to get our revenge.
I had a feeling whatever we were going to do, there was going to be some major consequences.
"Hey, how about we just disguise ourselves and start a rumble." I said since if we were going to get into trouble we might as well go all-out and do what we do best. Fight.
Skyler looked at me as if I was stupid.
"What I," I said defensively, "I was just thinking that would be a good idea."
Skyler shook his head, clearly ashamed of me for a reason unknown to anyone besides Skyler. He continued explaining his supposedly fool-proof plan. While he was talking my mind started to wonder somewhere. I remembered in the cantina that girl named, what was her name again….oh yah Clara. I remembered her eyes; they were full of anger and….sadness. I wondered why, I mean some of the things the Empire may not be that nice but……still. I am so confused.
"BANEY BOY!"
I snapped out of my thoughts when Skyler yelled in my ear.
"Oh sorry, did you say something." I said looking at him.
He growled, "I said, like about 5 times, we are going to follow your stupid plan, if it is ok with you."
I smiled slowly, "So the mighty trickster has failed and has to ask someone else."
He crossed his arms and growled again.
I smiled and laughed. He looked at me and smiled, too.
"Yes you can use my plan," I said. He grinned widely. "But you have to call me Lord Bane from now on." I added and had to stifle giggles when I saw him frown and huff.
"I'm just kiddin man." I said putting my arm around my best buddies shoulder.
Keith shook his head, slightly smiling. Skyler looked up with his eyes closed and, his arms still crossed.
I looked at Keith and we both nodded.
"Hey Skyler," He made a noise when I said that, "Are you ticklish?"
His eyes opened quickly but before he could say anything we heard a loud noise.
It was coming from the cantina. All three of use peeked through the door in the cantina.
The girl, Clara, had her foot on top of a groaning guy on the floor.
"So who wants to fight me!" She shouted loudly, looking around.
Then I did a very stupid thing. I stepped in and said, "I do ma'am."
Everyone looked at me including Keith and Skyler. Skyler mouth was hanging open and Keith raised his eyebrow.
"You want to fight ME!! Are you kidding!" Clara yelled starting at me like I was crazy.
I tilted my head slightly and gave a stupid, wild grin, "Nope."
Her eyes widened, and before she could say anything someone in the audience laughed.
I saw a few people move and I saw a tall man with muscles the size of an Imperial Starship, sitting in a chair.
The man looked about 28-30; he had short brown hair and a complexion any girl would love in a guy. He was drinking something that looked a bit like beer. He stood up and walked over to me. "My name is Darrel," He said. He had a light but firm voice.
"I," Darrel said pointing at Clara, "am her brother. I admire your courage, most people tremble at the thought of fighting her. Since you're an outsider you don't know what kind of mess you're about to get into. I will let you fight her though.
I looked at him surprised, "Th…Thank you, um….sir."
He smiled. Everyone cheered, they seemed pretty happy, possibly because they couldn't wait to see Clara beat me up.
"No!" Clara shouted angrily, "I don't want to fight this pathetic piece of plastic trash."
"Why are you scared?" I said innocently, sticking my tongue out. I know I am acting like a baby, but so is she I mean why didn't she want to fight me??
Clara looked like she was going to blow up. I swear I saw some steam come out of her.
"Well." I said.
Clara looked pleadingly at her brother, "Darry do I have to fight him. I mean look at him, he looks so weak. Even though he is part of the Empire, he is not even worth it."
"Hey." I said clearly hurt. I wasn't that skinny was I?
She ignored me and looked at her brother with a puppy dog face.
"Clara." He said sternly, "I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart."
Ok I was really confused. Why was Darrel sticking up for me if he didn't even know me?
Clara looked down and sighed, and then she looked at me and sighed again.
"Get ready to spend the rest of your life without any legs." She said getting into her fighting stance.
"Why legs?" I said grinning, getting into my fighting stance.
She rolled her eyes, then looked at her brother. He nodded and raised his left hand, "In the left corner is the mighty Clara and in the right corner is our new contestant Bane! Now
"1….2….3….Fight!!"
The fight was on.
Boy was she fast. I blinked and next thing I know, she was right in front of me.
She did an upper cut catching me under my chin and snapping my head up.
I flew backwards, in the air I did a backflip and landed on my feet.
She came at me kicking and punching. To her surprised I blocked most of them.
I finally saw an opening in her defenses and went at it like a tiger. Right when she aimed a punch at my head I quickly moved my head the other direction and grabbed her arm.
I slide my leg behind hers and pushed her down. Since my leg was behind hers she stumbled and fell on her back. I quickly went down and pinned her arms and legs to the ground. She struggled but she knew it was know use. She had lost.
I leaned my head down and whispered in her ear, "That's game."
She growled just like Skyler it's just with more anger.
"I will get you punk." She whispered back.
(A/N Listen to the song sweet victory from playlist starting now)
I smiled, "Just try it, you will never beat me," Than I got up and said loudly to everyone,
"No one can beat me. Not because I am part of the Empire: I ain't fightin 'cause I got
all that bull about Empire pride. I am fightin cause I want to. I am who I am. I ain't an Empire sign or commercial telling everyone they should join the Empire or all that shit. I fight for no one but myself!"
Howdy Ya'll. I know that was kinda boring, or maybe it wasn't. Just rate and review please.
