Enjoy people, hope you are liking this so far and sorry it seems dull. Rate and review once read please, really want to know what people think :D

A couple of weeks later Dex had been listening to pilot's stories about how a ship just appears, kills off resisters, and then disappears. Many of them said it had been to Naboo, then on to Tatooine. But there was nothing on Tatooine, just sand, Jawas, and sandmen. Yeah there was the occasional populated area but they were harvesters, junk traders. Nothing that would interest the empire. Dex hadn't seen Malbo in over a month now and he began to get worried. Had something happened to them? That night just as he was closing. The gungan returned.

"Malbo! Where have you been?" Dex said with concern in his voice.

"Very Busy, we-sa moving. You-sa must come with us or you-sa no help"

"But this is my life! It's all I've done since the war. Where would I be? What would I do?"

"We-sa Dex, go to Naboo, we-sa go to home planet" Malbo said with such excitement in his voice

Dex didn't know how to tell him this, but Naboo was now over run with the empire in control, at least that's what he heard from pilots. For the next 2 hour, Malbo and Dex exchanged stories of what has happened, what are rumour and what their next move would be? Dex had no family, and the only friends that he had where his regular customers who came in to the Cantina, but he wanted to see the galaxy. He had seen part of it but he wanted to see it all, and he wanted to stop the Empire from ruining his life, and other beings. Jar-Jar couldn't believe that his home town Naboo was now over run by imperials. He just prayed they would not find the underwater city. If they did then he would have nothing left. He had lost his friends, home world and now he was beginning to lose hope. They now needed somewhere discreet, somewhere not obvious, somewhere where they could make plans and not go to arms length to bring people into the planet. The only places they could think of were Kashyyyk and Tatooine. But Tatooine was far too dangerous, especially with the sandmen moving and not having a side. They would and do kill anything on site. Kashyyyk however was a worry. The wookies had always been friends of the Jedi, but the Empire had also been moving against them, with the way the galaxy was changing they would not be going anywhere soon. Dex was lost in thought, thinking about when he was in the war, he thought of all the places he had gone to. Illum! Sprung to his mind. He had not heard anything about the planet in a long long time. Maybe it was time to go back? Dex shared this Idea with Malbo. He didn't like it but it was the only other planet they never heard a lot of and from the sound of it, it would be un-populated.

"We-sa investigate. We-sa must find out more about this planet. We-sa wait, then go" Malbo said.

Dex agreed to investigate the planet further. They didn't know if the empire had been near it, if anyone still lived on it or what creatures were native to the planet Illum. Malbo/Jar-Jar told the rest of his resistance about the planet and asked them to get as much information about it. The resistance wasn't big for the time being, but one day it would be hopefully bigger than the empire. They wanted all those who hated the empire, they wanted them to make a stand. Dex had been serving his usual customers when 2 people walked in. Both were hooded and kept quite. He sent T70 over to take their orders. They only ordered wupala fish. It was something he had no served in over a year, every since the empire made themselves known it was impossible to find people who would eat it. Due to this he was cautious. For all he knew they could be imperial spies. Dex knew he should keep his distance, but something in the back of his mind was telling him to go see them. He knew better, Obi-wan had warned him of mind trick, also experience from the war helped him with this. Dex decided that instead of getting T70 to take the food across, he would take it himself. Yeah he was nervous be he wanted, no….needed! To know more about them.

"Here you go dear Sirs. (He couldn't see past their hoods) So where have you come from? I have no seen you in my cantina before?"

"Away with you!" One of the hissed at him

"Now listen here, Sir. This is my cantina and I will not be spoken to like that. Leave!"

Dex thought this was a bad move, all he saw were 2 yellow eyes pierce his, but he held the creatures gaze, he would not be driven away from his home so easily. Whoever they were, they slowly rose and left the cantina, but Dex noticed the fish had gone, but it had only been on the table for less than a minute, he didn't see any of them eat or grab the food. Dex knew something was wrong, but he had no idea what it was. For the rest of the day Dex didn't feel as safe in his own home as he previously had. It was closing time again and Malbo came in. This time however Dex was packing all his knives, pot and pan, and anything that would be useful in times to come. Since he had four arms it was no problem to carry things. Malbo was confused by what he saw, Dex was flustered and of all the times they had met Dex was never, ever flustered.

"Dex, what-sa wrong with you?"

"Shhhhh! I'm leaving" Dex went to pick all his bags up then, forgot his blaster, he was not leaving himself exposed

"Whatsa happen?"

"Where are you stationed? I need to come with you!" Dex was not begging. He didn't want to put the resistance in danger but he had no-where else to go. Malbo could hear the fear in Dex's voice and would help him. Malbo didn't want to leave himself open to questions so gave Dex directions and then left. He always made sure he wasn't being followed. The sniper saw Malbo exit the cantina, and then 5 minutes later he saw Dex come out carrying bags. He was aware that he was leaving but he couldn't tell why. Everything seemed normal in all the time he had been watching the cantina.

"Orders?" he spoke into the com link

"Follow and support Dex. Objective, get him to HQ."

"Received" he replied.

Dex was following the directions Malbo had given to him, but the writing was more like a scribble, very hard to understand, and it was not one of the common languages he spoke or knew from other pilots. Little did he know he was being followed, not by an enemy but by the sniper, just to make sure no harm came to him? 10 minutes had passed and the sniper saw nothing out of the ordinary, he had a very keen eye. He had been trained by the best. Another hour had passed and Dex finally found a sewage drain, he was told to go halfway down then turn left. But how could he? It was a plain wall and the ladder didn't go that way. He pushed one of his hour arms against it and felt heat. There shouldn't be heat this far down. With all his strength he pushed against it and received an electric current go through him, knocking him to the bottom of the sewer. He didn't have to fall far, only a couple of feet which surprised him. When he got to his feet he saw a blaster pointed to his face.

"Clearance CODE!" Came a echoed voice through a helmet

"I…I don't have one but I have this" he went to reach into his pocket but the trooper wouldn't let him

"Easy delta 3!" came a voice from behind Dex. "Malbo sent him and he is a friend."

"Where's your proof of this Ghost 1?"

"May I?" Ghost 1 motioned to Dex's pocket. He just nodded. He pulled out the directions and gave it to Delta 3

"Hm…I apologise Sir. One cannot be too careful

Dex just grunted at him, he thought it was good to be careful but seriously? Malbo hadn't even told them that he was coming. They would need to improve their manners around Dex if he was going to help out the resistance. He was going to help, he was now going to join the resistance properly and he was ready.
