Chapter 2

Since the home-console continuity of F-Zero is very, very vague compared to the portable-console continuity, there will be references to the portable-console continuity in this story, like the Falcon House, a coffee house run by a bartender named Bart Lemming.

In my story, the Falcon House will be a restaurant where racers go to hang out when not in Dolcab's Restaurant in the outskirts of Port Town.

A/N 21/6/2016: I made some really important changes in this chapter, Captain Falcon no longer works at the Falcon House, despite named after him, I learned that Falcon's only source of income is Bounty Hunting and Racing in F-Zero GX. Learn more underneath. This chapter also contains the usual grammar checks and very minor word changes.

Obi-Wan Kenobi had explored one quarter of Mute City, and now, he and his fellow Jedi, Ahsoka Tano, were entering a very lawful restaurant called Falcon House.

The alien species in this realm were very different and fewer in numbers than their own Realm, Ahsoka had started to call this realm the 'F-Zero Realm', since everything in this realm revolved around F-Zero races.

"I told you Don Genie! I only smuggle cargo, not living people!" A voice roared once Obi-Wan entered, startling everyone, even the bartender, who Obi-Wan didn't recognise at all, but then, he recognised one customer at the bar to be Captain Falcon. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the man who had roared, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka couldn't get a good look at his face. The fat man who the man had previously spoken to seemed unfeeling.

The other man quickly stood up, turned around and left so quickly, that Obi-Wan and Ahsoka had a hard time seeing his face, Obi-Wan scrunched his face up in confusion, because the man's Force presence was shielded, unlike everyone else, this indicated that the man was Force-Sensitive.

"You new here?" Falcon asked from his chair, glancing at Obi-Wan while picking up the cup of coffee the man who just left was drinking from.

"Yes" Obi-Wan answered, calmly, as everyone continued what they were doing

"Sit over here." Falcon motioned the two to sit at two seats past Don Genie, the fat man who was roared at. Falcon turned to him and warned "Don't provoke my friend, one day, if you tell him to smuggle your slaves, he might yell it out like now in a place with a lot of police from the Galaxy Federation" Falcon then sneered, "Not that I don't want that to happen though."

"You picked the exact wrong day to come here, y'know, today was the finish of the Sonic Oval race." Falcon noted, glancing at Obi-Wan, the Jedi Master realised that Falcon was talking about F-Zero.

"Apparently we have." Obi-Wan replied, glancing at Falcon, who was drinking… something from his cup as everyone started to go back to their businesses, Don Genie started to leave, glancing at Obi-Wan and Ahsoka

"So. What do you guys want?" The bartender cut into the conversation, while cleaning a cup, glancing at Ahsoka, noting in his mind that he had never seen an alien species like Ahsoka

"What's on the menu?" Obi-Wan asked back, Ahsoka nodded her head, there was a menu just overhead, she saw it

"Coffee mainly, but I also serve juice and tea." The bartender answered, looking up briefly at the overhead menu

"Cappuccino" Ahsoka ordered calmly, the man went to whip up that exact order, he briefly glanced at Ahsoka, taking in her looks before starting to make the coffee into specifications he was sure Ahsoka would like, not that he knew her.

Ahsoka briefly glanced at the bartender making the coffee, he put some creamer in the plastic cup, and then put the glass on the bar table, he then slid the cup to Ahsoka, who caught it.

"Thanks" Ahsoka thanked, and then tasted the coffee. It was very good.

"Special recipe based on who you are. That's the principle of this bar, your cappuccino is half-sweet with a bit of zest, and a bitter side to it since you look like you lost someone important to you" the bartender clarified
"I did." Ahsoka stayed silent until she finished her coffee. She quickly stood up once she did, Obi-Wan stood along her.

"Goodbye, and come back to the Falcon House when the racers didn't finish a Mute City race!" Falcon half-joked, waving in the process, making both Ahsoka and Obi-Wan smile in humour.

"Okay then. See ya" Ahsoka waved at Falcon, as the two left.

Both went out of the Falcon House, Ahsoka was satisfied with the coffee, and made a mental note to herself to come to this realm more often. Mute City was a lot better than Coruscant when it came to lawfulness and the people's satisfaction.

"Is it really the coffee?" Obi-Wan suddenly asked, smiling at Ahsoka being cheerful again

"Yes. The bartender makes the coffee in a way that made me happy, it was the exact type of coffee I like, and I never knew it." Ahsoka honestly confessed, Obi-Wan's smile broadened, maybe they could have fun without… you know who.

Don Genie smiled from the bush he was hiding in. He was holding a baton, the one that was used by policemen more than 500 years before, starting at the previous millennium, during the Victorian Era, it was called. Now, the Galaxy Federation just used their own custom-made blasters.

He planned to make this obvious newbies his slaves. The auburn man looked like he was from… Bianca Village, judging by his looks and accent. The other woman, he didn't know where she came from or her species. But he knew worth when he saw it.

Slavery had been banned since the 19th Century, but it spanned along the years, and the concept had gotten more popular than the human trafficking by the end of the 21st Century, it had continued underground until now, the 26th Century.

Even so, the Galaxy Federation marked that crime 'nonexistent', and thus, there were no attempts to track out slavery since they thought that it was nonexistent. Fools. If only they knew.

In the 26th Century, slavery had only been practiced by Don Genie, though another person, Samurai Goroh, pushed the limits of what can be considered not slavery.

Genie's musings ended when he heard footsteps, he peeked out of the bush to see his targets. The auburn man and the alien he could not decipher.

Genie could only hear mutters of what they were saying. It was better he didn't know. When he saw the two walk just right of the bush. He pounced up and hit the human's head first. The alien glared at Genie dangerously.

Ahsoka couldn't believe it! How could she have not sensed it! The fat guy she saw just took Master Kenobi unconscious! She frowned, as she clenched her fist, no point in killing anyone here.

Genie's reflexes were fast enough for him to quickly bonk Ahsoka's head hard enough that her vision clouded, as she fell unconscious, not before mumbling, "Master". The Tongruta hit the sidewalk with a hard 'Thump!'

Genie smiled widely and evilly, as he came out of the bush and saw his two newest slaves knocked out. It was too easy! He now needed to take them to Port Town without being spotted.

Two of his robots came up behind him, they formerly belonged to Black Shadow before he died for mysterious reasons in a Mute City race, so they were coloured black. When Genie wasn't racing or slaving, he was the head of the universal traders, so Port Town was his best bet to hide.

"What can we do for you sir?" One robot asked, saluting

"Haul these two back to my hideout in Port Town" Genie ordered, making sure only that robot heard him.

The robots went to do their jobs, Genie smiled, as he went to said hideout in Port Town, he wanted to see what was going to happen next.

He needed a sidekick for next week's team F-Zero Mute City: Twist Road race. But then, that was the only reason he needed slaves for now.

The reason it was Don Genie that kidnaps and try to enslave Obi-Wan and Ahsoka is because I see him as the type to do it. For characters whose personalities and characters aren't fleshed out in F-Zero GX, I'll base their personalities off the Falcon Densetsu anime. And Don Genie in Falcon Densetsu is a villain that works for Black Shadow.
