Disclaimer: I don't own anything this is just a story for fun.
There was a massive shipping yard in downtown Goza. It severed as the main headquarters for the Fairly Shipping Company and it was the biggest shipping company in the Amitrax System. It was ran by a man who went by the name of Big Daddy. Big Daddy was a medium sized men with black hair and piercing pink eyes. He normally wore a grey suit and hat. Big Daddy had a voice and an appearance that would make people associate him with gangsters and criminals. His business was a bit shady to say the least, but most of it was very legal. Big Daddy was a smart and powerful man, who had connections with tons of people and groups. He had done business with various criminal organizations, the Empire, and the Rebels. The Fairly Shipping Company was a powerful and well respected company and one of the biggest things it did was collect and gather information. The company knew almost every secret in the Amitrax System and if you had the credits for it then you could buy it.
Big Daddy was currently in his private office looking over some contracts, when his secretary buzzed him and told him Skulker had arrived with Box Guy. A few minutes later Skulker stomped into the office carrying a battered and bruised Box Guy. A couple of Big Daddy's security guards followed Skulker into the office and stood off to the side. Skulker tossed Box Guy to the floor and the security guards went over and grabbed his arms and restrained him. Big Daddy glanced at Box Guy and turned to face Skulker.
"Nice job. Go see my secretary about the money."
"Pleasure doing business with you." Said Skulker before he turned and left the office.
Big Daddy turned his attention to Box Guy. The small time criminal had turned incredibly pale and his body shook with fear.
"You've been a bad little boy Boxy. You used to be one of my best pilots, until that little crash of yours and you decided to go rogue and start robbing some of my ships. That was a big mistake and I'm afraid it's going to cost you dearly."
Box Guy began to whimper.
"Oh don't worry I'm not going to kill you, but I am going to make an example out of you before I put you back to work." Said Big Daddy as he motioned to his guards.
Box Guy blinked his eyes in confusion as the guards dragged him to the desk and forced his lefthand onto the surface. Big Daddy then pulled a wicked looking dagger out from a draw and sliced downwards slamming it into the desk and cutting Box Guy's hand off!
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Cried Box Guy in both pain and shock, before fainting.
One guard wrapped up Box Guy's stump as a couple of cleaning droids came to clean up the mess up the mess.
"Clean Boxy up and have him outfitted with a robotic hand. Let him rest and adjust for a few days before putting him to work in the yard where everyone can see him." Said Big Daddy as he put his knife away.
The guards dragged Box Guy away as the cleaning droids finished up their work. Big Daddy turned to his computer and saw he had a secret message from the Rebels. It had been quit some time since the Rebel had contacted him. Big Daddy opened the message up and read. It was a odd request. The Rebels were asking about any shipments involving cloning technology from the Clone Wars. There had been a few criminal organizations back in the day that had gotten their hands on the cloning technology and had tried to use it in a black market organ scheme, but they had been arrested years ago. It was highly doubtful the Rebels would be interested in that particular information. Big Daddy did some more looking and found an old shipping manifest that included some cloning technology heading to planet Taka. That was a bit odd. Taka was a faraway planet and many would consider it a nowhere planet since hardly anyone lived or did business there. Then again if someone was doing something secret that involved cloning Taka would be a good place to do it. Big Daddy tried to see who the tech was delivered to, but whoever it was hid their trail very well by using a bunch of different dummy cooperations to hide their true identity. It would take some time to find the real person behind the obtaining the cloning tech, but Big Daddy was determined to find out who.
Lightyears away in space aboard the Leviathan, Spectra was in the lab, Vlad had provided for her. Spectra stood before a specially designed pod that had Wraith inside it and was prepared to do some test. The pod was made to expose whoever was inside it, to a ray that Technus had designed to increase ones anger and hatred, so that they would be stronger in the Dark Side of the Force. The ray was called the Dark Amplifier and had yet to be fully tested on a Force user. The plan was to test the ray on Wraith a few times to see how it affected she, before using it on Vlad. Spectra checked her equipment and then she turned the ray on exposing Wraith to a small amount of it.
Wraith was lightly bathed in a dark red light. At first she felt perfectly normal, but then she began to have visions of Phantom, who was insulting her.
"You are nothing more then a clone. You will never beat me or be a true master of the Force. I will always be better then you." Said Phantom.
This angered Wraith who mentally lashed out with the Force. Spectra was monitoring Wraith's heart rate and saw it rising as cracks began to appear on the pod.
"It's working." Thought Spectra with glee.
On planet Casper, Danny was practicing in the garage with his lightsaber, when he felt a odd disturbance in the Force. It felt like a dagger of pure hater and spite had been forged and directed at Danny and his entire being. Danny had a bad feeling that what he sensed had to involve Wraith in some way. It was an unsettling feeling and Danny wondered what would happen once he encountered his clone again.
