The stars reoriented themselves as they dropped out of hyperspace and hung over the desolate and waterless ball of dirt that was Tattooine. The Shadows Fang decended, and landed in Mos Espa Starport. The twenty hours had passed uneventfully. Time to wake up Alexis.

The thought sent a strong jolt through Kirin's spine. I've never thought of a target by their name! This contracts been going on to long, it needs to end soon, this has gotten too personal.

She walked down a narrow corridor to the holding cell Alexis was in. She opened it, and was suprised to find Alexis awake.

She stood for a moment, then spoke. "We've arrived. Are you capable of walking?"

--------------------

"Where are we excautly anyway?" She asked, but somehow she already knew the answer. the place felt famialiar.

Not here again. She thought.

Tatoonie. The most annoying planet in the galaxy.

Jebbua I'm on Tatoonie. She callled to her brother. Kirn somehow must have known what alexis was doing and smacked her in the face. Alexis fell to the floor weak...again.
Alexis slowly stood up. It was probably to late, who ever Kirn was taking her to evidently it was on Tatoonie, she would be dead before they got here. A tear rolled down her face. she fell back to the floor and this time she didn't try to get up.

She lead Alexis down the ramp into the wide dockingbay. As arranged, a speeder awaited them, a Trendoshan at the controls. "You're the contact." Kirin stated.

They both got into the speeder, and it began cruising down the dirt streets. Next stop, profit.

--------------------

Darth Sharl looked at the viewport to see Tatoonie closing into view. She streched out with the force and still felt the person.

Soon it will be gone. she thought.

She landed the craft and headed back to the main cabin.

"Leos, Rhy. Come we have a jedi to hunt." The walked down the ramp and Darth Sharl locked it up.
Keep a cloe eye on our friend. she said to Leos mentally.

"You two check around, feed of the Jedi's power. Contact me if you find the Jedi." And with that Darth Sharl headed out in search of the Jedi. Another victim to Dark Jedi.

--------------------

"Mistress, it is in that direction. Shall we retrieve the ships speeder?"

--------------------

Why is this happening to me? What did I do to derserve this? She thought to herself.

Alexis kept wondering whle the speeder continued going whereever it was going.

Some one help me. she thought.

"Yes, use the speeder, but I will stay here. I sense something coming, it has just come out of hyperspace. Do not kill the Jedi without me. If you have to bring it back here. But I want them alive." Leos nodded and him and Rhy got on the speeder and headed in the direction.

Darth Sharl faded into the shadows and waited.

--------------------

"We're nearing the quarry. Be ready, we'll set an ambush."

--------------------

I came out of hyperspace and pilotted the ship to the surface. Once there, I walked out into the streets and stopped.

Something isn't right. I sense something. I thought.

"Well think faster." a voice said out of the shadows and someone in a black cloak jumped from the shadows right in front of me.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I am Darth Sharl and I shall be your end." The person replied. they activated their two red lightsabers. Everyone around them screamed and ran away from the spaceport.
I ignited my own saber.
"I don't have time for this, I have to save someone."

"Oh, would this person be a jedi?"

"What makes you say that?"

"Because we are chasing a jedi here, no matter they will be dead soon and i'll even keep you alive long enough to witness. But first we must weaken you."

The dark jedi, as they called them, charged me swingine one blade for my chest and the other for my neck. I parried the first but the second burned my shoulder.

"This will be too easy."

--------------------

But something didn't feel right. The reason became apparent as a speeder sped around the corner and slamed into the speeder with the trendoshan still inside.

It flipped, and was slammed up against the entrance to the club. Damn!

A few moments later, a man in a white trenchcoat, an albino human, stepped out of a speeder piloted by a twilek.

--------------------

"Rhy, stay back. I'll handle it, keep the speeder running." He then sweapt his sabre back and forth to deflect red darts sent at him by the woman.

--------------------

Suddenly, a blast of force picked her up and tossed her against the wall oposite the cantina, a good 10 meters away.

Her vision blurred, and she felt as though she may have fractured a rib. She could blurrily see the man in white walking away from her, then she lost focus.

--------------------

He entered the alley, and strode forwards. He almost immediately spotted the jedi crouched down and fearful near some waste containers. He used the force to drag her towards him, and grabbed her wrist as she came in range.

"Don't struggle weakling." He said, his voice even. He dragged her back to the speeder and got in without a word, throwing the jedi in the back. "To the ship."

--------------------

Alexis didn't know where they were going but when they finally stopped, Alexis was yanked out of the speeder.

"Ah. You must be the other Jedi." a person in front of her aproached, they were wearing a black cloak and Alexis couldn't see their face.

"What do you want?" Alexis asked.

"Just for you and your jedi friend to die." they said as they indicated another person a few feet away on the ground with lightsaber burns all over him.

"Jebbua!" Alexis cried.

"Aah. So you do know each other. Now which one of you would like to die first?"

"You do!" a voice said. "Fire!"

Just then a rocket came flying in. It hit the ship, which blew up, and everyone went flying. Alexis who didn't ;and as hard as the others. got up as quickly as possible only to be taken away by 6 men.

"You're coming with us sweetie."

"Leos! Rhy! After them!" Darth Sharl said. She turned and looked at Jebbua.

"You won't be going anywhere for awhile, si i'll get to you when I get back." She said as she put her hood back over her face. She ran off right and jumped on the speeder that Leos and Rhy were on and they followed right behind the other speeder.

--------------------

--------------------

She looked up, and several speeders came to a stop outside of the cantina. With alexis in the back of one!

She staggered to her feet as the group entered the cantina, and began to make her way towards it.

--------------------

Maybe he could desert them later. And when he did...A wonderful plan began to form in his mind. The woman they were trying to capture was certainly beautiful, and Rhy was becoming severley annoyed by Leos. Maybe by capturing her for Leos and Sharl he could then...yes...a beautiful plan indeed.

Soon the racing speeder ahead of him began to slow, and his hand went to his saber as he came to the brink of drawing the Force, ready for anything that may ensue.

The History of Tatoonie. no wonder they made it a secret passage lever, no one would ever pick that book. Alexis thought.

They pushed her down the stairs and a man shut the dorr from behind, making sure the book was back in place also.

When they got to the bottom of the stairs two men ran off into another hallway and another one ran into a room. Two men were left watching her.

"Umm. Guys could you like loosen these things on my hands." She asked the men.

"Hahaha. You think we're that stupid." One of them said.

Well, It was worth a.... Alexis stopped in mid thought.

"Ooh." she said.

"What?" a man said.

"ow."

"Whats wrong? said the other man.

"She's having a contraction you dimwitts." The man that went into the room came back with another man, or actually Chiss.

"Does that mean..."

"its just a contraction, the baby isn't due for awhile. Now get going. I'd like to talk to our jedi friend before she dies." said the Chiss.

"Yes sir." They left and the Chiss pulled up a chair and sat down.

"Now, where should we begin..."

They all got out of the speeder, and stepped towards the entrance. A few armed bouncers stood at the entrance.

"Twenty creds for entry, unless you're a member." One grunted before looking up. Then he saw the disturbingly odd group.

The twi'lek in back, and an albino human with red eyes staring at him, with a cowled female human in front.

"Uh, go ahead." They stepped through into the cantina.

--------------------

She entered a split passage, and armed her green darts, then quickly layered some pain nulling patches onto her ribs while sitting in a small alcove out of site. Moments later, she stood up, not feeling the pain of her ribs, and crept down the hallway, where she had been once before, her weapon extended.

She came to a corner, and peered around, and saw a small convoy of aliens and humans comming. She ducked into another alcove, and waited for them to pass. A few moments later, she turned the corner, and continued on her way.
Almost there, then I get my pay and I get out of here.

--------------------

I couldn't really move, i didn't have the strength, but i had to do something.

Ok, lets just work on sitting up.

I took a couple of deep breaths and pushed forward. Slowly I started to sitt up. I grabbed a doorhadnle that was part of the door i was next to to help me up.

Ok, that wasn't so bad.

I then tried puling my slef from the ground using the door handle to pull my self up. When I was finally standing I just stood there.

Great, now i'm too tired to move anymore. I stood there taking deep breaths and waiting to get my strength back.

--------------------

She kicked in the door with a sudden surge of adrenaline, and felt it melt away as she found the room to be empty. Demonspawn...

She exited the office, and was about to make her way to the exit, when she heard something that made her pause.

"Alright, lets finish this. We've waited long enough on that stupid bounty hunter. After all, she was only going to get disposed of anyway."
Stupid bounty??? She came to the opening in the wall where she had heard the voices, and saw Alexis with a man pointing a blaster at her forhead.
No way, not after all this. She swiftly reached into her coat and pulled a few needles out. She threw as he was speaking.

"The last thing you'll see is a red light at the end of the tunnel, and then you'll-" He was cut short as three of the needles impacted and cut through the side of his face and stuck out the other end, with small amounts of red blood on the exited side.

"Sorry, but I guess this was all for nothing." Kirin said as she moved towards Alexis.

--------------------

What? Alexis thought. She opened her eyeys and saw the man with three things sticking out the side of his face. He landed with a thud.

"Sorry,but I guess this was all for nothing." Alexis turned and saw Kirin.

"You're not going to kill me or anything?" Alexis asked. But before Kirin could answer 5 men came running in with blasters out. They looked at their boss and then at Kirin,

"You're going to wish you didn't do that lady." He said. seconds later he fired.
