Danny, Valerie, and Tucker headed towards the suit where Ember was staying. They knocked on the door and waited. Danny used the Force to sense someone on the other side of the door. The young Jedi could sense a bit of fear and nervousness from the person as they looked through the peephole. A few seconds later the person calmed down and opened the door to reveal themselves as none other then Ember McLain. Ember was a teenager with pale white skin, green eyes Ember has long, teal hair pulled back into a ponytail at the top of her head, two locks of hair framing her face (resembling a sharp-angled "M"), and purple lipstick. Her clothing consisted of a black choker around her neck, a black one-shouldered tank-top exposing her midriff, one long glove that covers most of her right arm, and one black bracelet on her left arm. She also wore a pair of leather pants with a silver belt and skull boots.
"You guys the special security detail Sam sent?" Asked Ember.
"We are. I'm Danny and these are Tucker and Valerie." Said Danny as he introduced himself and his friends.
"Come on in then." Said Ember.
The rebels headed inside. Ember took a seat on a couch, pulled out a guitar and began to play it. Danny leaned against a wall, while Tucker took a seat in a chair to watch Ember play. Valerie walked over to the window and looked across at some buildings.
"What are you doing?" Asked Danny.
"I'm visualizing where a sniper might take position on the building across from us and try to shoot Ember." Said Valerie.
"You think there's a sniper in the building across from us?" Asked Ember as she stopped playing and began to look nervous.
"Not likely. The people who placed a bomb on your shuttle, were armatures. They were probably some low ranked criminals, who bought a cheap bomb. That tells me they are very unprofessional and lack any real assassin skills." Said Valerie.
"So Ember do you have any clue who would try to kill you?" Asked Danny.
"Honestly I have no idea. I've dealt with a few crazy fans and a couple of obsessed stalks, but nothing like this. It's crazy...and it's kind of freaking me out. Whoever is behind this could come and try something even crazier." Said Ember.
"Well don't you worry. I promise you that will keep you safe." Said Danny.
"I hope so, otherwise I'm going to die young." Said Ember.
The group soon left the suit.
A couple of miles away there was a large building called the Dimmadome. It was owned by an incredibly rich man named Doug Dimmadome and it was currently being used for a reward ceremony for musicians that day. Already a bunch of celebrities, politicians, and various rich people were there to attend the ceremony. Sam was there wearing a black dress. She was there to support her friend Ember and make a public appearance to help drive suspicion from herself as a Rebel. The Dimmadome was really packed tonight. Sam saw Governor Lancer talking to some alien rulers. She recognized them as the rulers of planet Boudacia and Yugopotamia. Lancer was going on about how the Rebels were a menace and how they threat the rule of the Empire and all forms of government and monarchy. Sam was thinking about stepping in to give her own opinion on the Rebels, when someone else decided to step in. That person was an alien ruler named Princess Galaxandra.
Galaxandra was a tall thin humanoid alien with insectoid features. She had large white and glowing butterfly wings and two antennae on her head. She had white skin and two fingers on each hand. Galaxandra wore a long dress that covered her feet, and a purple head-dress accompanied by purple gloves.
"Excuse me Governor Lancer, but I have to disagree with your assessment of the Rebels. So far they have not terrorized the people of any world in our system and they've brought wrong doers to justice. Some of those wrongdoers were officers in the Empire." Said Galaxandra.
"What are you...implying?" Asked Lancer.
"I'm simply pointing out that if the Empire was as great as you claim it to be no one would be rebelling. Now if you excuse me, I have to find my seat." Said Galaxandra as she floated off.
Lancer grumbled in annoyance and Sam smiled. The party was soon joined by Prince Aragon and Princess Dorathea. The two were accompanied by a short young man with glasses named Sidney Poindexter who served as their treasury and aid. Aragon was a fair skinned man with grey hair dressed in a purple dress shirt, black pants, black cape, and a green thorn covered crown. The prince had red eyes and wore a scowl on his face. Dorathea or Dora as she was sometimes called had blond hair in a ponytail and wore a blue dress. She had red eyes and a friendly smile.
People began to look for their seats. Sam went looking for hers. Backstage a bunch of black clad men were moving a bunch of barrels around to certain parts of the stage. Their work was overseen by a young women wearing platinum colored armor. The women smiled with glee at the barrels. This would soon be a show everyone would remember.
To be continued.
