Renegade Puma Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 Not my longest, not my shortest. But here it is. I have been away for so long. So I hope that's it's up to snuff and the quality of the rest of the story. I will be writing some more very very soon. Within the week Chapter XXV “Beep beep.” T-4 spouted in reply as he brought up is findings in the form of a hologram. A tiny sphere in the middle of the representation caught Linduu’s eye. “That’s the space station thingy we saw in orbit above the planet right T-4?” “Beep boop.” T-4 confirmed. “Enlarge this area here.” Linduu said pointing her finger at the station. “And bring up all the specs you have on this thing. We need to learn what it is.” T-4 enlarged the area on the hologram that Linduu had requested and added the data he had gathered on it to the representation. The station almost came to life as data lines of green and red began to wash over it. Specs and numbers too many to count were rolling past Linduu’s eyes. She wiped some more tears from her eyes. “T-4 you’re going to have to help me here. None of this means anything to me.” After a moment of crunching the data in his main processor T-4 spouted out his findings. “Beep bop droot deet!” Linduu placed her hand over her mouth as she gasped in horror. “We can’t let anything as powerful as this be completed!” She began pacing back and forth, thinking of what she could do. “A device created solely for the purpose of extinguishing all life on a planet with a single burst of energy.” She stopped pacing. “It’s just beyond me that anyone, even a Sith lord would stoop to such lows. Not even giving people a fighting chance.” She began pacing again. “To just sit in orbit and shoot your beam weapon, killing everyone at once, it’s just plain cowardice, not like a Sith at all.” “Beep beep” T-4 interrupted her. Linduu let out a small chuckle. “Yeah you’re right T-4, that’s exactly how a Sith lord would act, what was I thinking.” Linduu shook her head. “Still though, I would have expected a little bit more from Vandar. Him being a former Jedi master and all. I guess the dark side has corrupted every last bit of his heart and mind.” “I need a moment to meditate on what we should do.” She said as she walked over to the corner and sat down. “You keep analyzing the data and let me know if you come up with anything.” “Beep bop.” Linduu sat on the ground, tired, hungry, and still emotionally shook up from the battle she had just gone through. (Jor-el, help me out here will you? I don’t know what to do.) A warmth like the rays of the sun washed over her body as she heard his voice. (I’m here my love. We will work this out together.) Jor-el replied. Linduu meditated for what seemed like forever, conversing back and forth with Jor-el in her head, oblivious to anything that was going on around her........................ An hour later.......................... (I have confidence in you Lin, I know you will complete this task that is so heavily set before you.) A tear fell from Linduu’s eye. “I miss you so much my love, if only you were here by my side.” (Shh.. Quiet my love. Concentrate on what you have to do, and only that. I will always be with you in your heart.) “I know Jor-el.” (Now go, and may the force be with you.) Linduu opened her eyes, wiped a few more tears away from them, and stood to her feet. “Beep blop” T-4 chimed out as he had finished his analysis. “Yes I already know my little friend.” Linduu said somberly. “I saw it through the force.” Linduu walked over and knelt down on one knee in front of the little droid. “Open your control panel.” “Beep” T-4 replied as he obeyed her command. Linduu began to input commands and with each press of another button more tears began to fall. “I have a lot to ask of you my little friend.” She said with uncertainty in her voice. “I have a mission that you must complete no matter what.” “Wooo” T-4 hummed quietly, almost as if he was sad. “There I’m finished.” Linduu said as she closed the panel and stood up. “Now it’s time for you to go T-4. I will contact you on my communicator when the time comes for you to execute my command. May the force be with you my friend.” “Beep beep.” T-4 replied. The droid wheeled itself around and headed towards the raider. He rolled underneath it and hooked himself up to the loading arm. “Goodbye.” Linduu said as she watched the droid board the ship. Once onboard T-4 fired up the engines and lifted the ship off the ground. “Beep bop.” T-4 took once last look at Linduu, then took off. The raider screamed towards the sky as Linduu watched it disappear from her sight. “So much depends on you little one.” She whispered. “Don’t let us down.” ****************************************************** Linduu exited the warehouse and began to make her way back to Vandar’s throne room. But first she had to find a way through the city and all the chaos that ensued therein. Jasra’s small army of assassins were attacking any and all Sith who were loyal to Vandar. They even seemed to be converting a few of them over to their side. On top of that the people who had been enslaved were fighting with both factions of the Sith. Although the slaves greatly outnumbered them, they would get cut down even at 10 to 1 odds. But because the Sith were fighting each other it gave the slaves opportunities here and there to kill one or two. (Jasra must have ordered them to storm the palace.) Linduu thought as she ducked into a dark alleyway. (Makes sense. Let your pawns do all the dirty work, then come in and clean up anything that’s left over.) She poked her head around the corner. Sabers were clashing everywhere, bodies flying against walls, against other bodies. Screams of pain and agony ever so prevalent, even amongst the loud explosions in the sky from the battle that still raged on. (Well, it’s now or never.) She thought as she used the force to cloak herself. Linduu exited the alleyway and carefully picked her way through all the fighting and chaos. There were a few close calls here and there, but she managed to avoid detection. She finally reached the palace where she found more of the same. Fighting, screaming...... (Well at least I should be able to get into Vandar’s throne room easily enough.) Linduu put her back to the wall of the main corridor, flattened herself against it and slowly began making her way towards her destiny. (I can do this. I can beat Vandar.) (Many have said that.) She heard Vandar’s voice in her head. (Died all of them have.) (Ignore him.) She thought. (So what if he’s over 1,000 years old. So what if I’m not the first to try.) (This time will be no different.) Vandar continued. (Your head on a platter have I will.) Linduu was now at the entrance to the throne room. She uncloaked herself as she stepped inside. There in front of her stood Vandar. A menacing scowl played itself across his lips. His eyes glowed red with hatred and his battle stance was one of graceful aggression. He ignited his saber. “Know you how many killed this saber has?” He asked. Linduu refused to let him intimidate her. “Know you that in order not to stink, a bath one must take regularly?” Linduu asked as she chuckled to herself in her head. Vandar leaped high into the air, and landed on a ledge above Linduu. “Wise to provoke me further it is not.” Vandar said. “And now, foolish Jedi. Die you shall!” He leaped off the ledge straight down at Linduu. Their sabers locked in battle as Linduu blocked his attack.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Varen Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Good Chapter RP. This is one of the best early Christmas presents I've had on the Forums. I hope Vandar returns to the light side. Looking foward to more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade Puma Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 I'm surprised that no one has picked up on the Princess Leia reference yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Sorry, RP. I've re-read your latest post and I'm not sure what you mean by the Princess Leia reference. (Maybe I'm just tired or just thickheaded... or both. ) Can you explain it to me? Anyway, you poked me, I posted. (finally!) So, now it's my turn.... Next chapter, please?? I'm ready for Linduu's ulitmate battle scene! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Heh, I'm ready for that battle scene too. No fair keeping us hanging off the side of the cliff! She poked her head around the corner. Sabers were clashing everywhere, bodies flying against walls, against other bodies. Screams of pain and agony ever so prevalent, even amongst the loud explosions in the sky from the battle that still raged on. I liked this description--I could 'hear' as well as 'see' what was happening here. Very cool. The only Leia reference I could think of was Linduu putting a message into T4.
