Interesting, yet good Chapter....

[CSI]

Chapter 8

 

With a loud “Bam”, CSI’s body fell down onto the ground.

 

Darth Revan stood there, watching CSI falling coldly. His crimson blade was shining like Laigrek’s eyes. “Hmph.” He retracted the blade and walked away to his shuttle. He didn’t even bother taking a last look at CSI’s corpse.

Behind Darth Revan, CSI’s body vanished. He became one with the Force.

 

----

 

Back into the Interrogation Room, on the table. A humanoid shape began to re-appear, like fading in. Head first, then body, then arms, then legs…All body parts formed a image of CSI—the real CSI. Force Camouflage! He exhaled deeply and exclaimed: “Whew. That was a close one.” He tipped his index finger, and his lightsaber flew out of his robe belt, and hovering near him. “Come on, my friends, free me.” CSI murmured and casted Force Telekinesis. The dual silver blades cut the restraints down precisely without damaging my arms and leg. At last, CSI thought and sat up and jumped out of the pit. When he landed on the ground in the arena where Revan and him dueled earlier, he knelt down and murmured: “That’s so nice to be free. I’m glad it was over…” He walked down the stairs and thought about Darth Revan: Darth Revan is here? That would mean Dark Side really prevailed…It was indeed a good duel, but I’m glad it’s over. When he passed a small pond, he looked into the pond and a small reflection appeared. A man with scarred face was looking toward CSI. With a heavy sigh, CSI took out his white, ghostly mask and put it on. He took off his Jedi Master Robe and put on his former Darth Nihilus’s black robe. Now CSI reappeared as appearance of Darth Nihilus. It gave me a lot of sad memories, CSI thought sadly.

 

After witnessed the fake CSI’s “death”, Darth Revan frowned and shook his head. This is a failure. And he can no longer feel CSI’s Lights Side Aura. But in the instinct, he felt CSI was still alive. “Give me a transport to Star Forge,” Darth Revan took out an small intercom and said.

 

The intercom replied, “Yes, milord.”

 

After a while, Darth Revan stood in the loading dock in Star Forge, and his apprentice and wife, Bastila, along with her ceremony squad, welcomed him.

 

“Greetings, Milord. Did you get him?” Bastila made a bow and asked urgently.

 

“No, but I have got a tracking device on him...All I need to do is go to a computer and activate it.” Darth Revan smiled sinisterly beneath his mask.

 

“Then let’s go…find him!” She exclaimed.

 

On a computer pad, Darth Revan pressed some button, “All done,” he stood up. On Yavin IV, a small red dot ignited in CSI’s body indicating the tracking device was online.

 

“Where should I go? Korriban? No. Ruusan? No. Onderon? No…” Sitting on a rock, CSI murmured and searched his mind for an appropriate planet to hide, “Manaan? No. Dantooine? Looks like a good idea…Then there it is…Dantooine.” CSI stood up and suddenly realized something: How do I get to Dantooine?

 

He turned around and found a old, but usable shuttle near Exar Kun’s temple. Great, I bet a careless person left it here. CSI cheered and ran to the ship. Soon, the engine roared back to life and took off. CSI set the course to Dantooine.

 

On the Star Forge, Darth Revan sat down and meditated on his private quarter. Suddenly, he felt CSI’s thoughts echoed through the Force. He smiled: Think what you want, Jedi…I left there intentionally…I knew you would escape…I never counted on me actually killing you! I will come after you, you WILL become a Dark Jedi whether it kills you or not!

[Diego Varen]

Another good Chapter as always CSI.

[CSI]

Chapter 9

 

Looking out of the cockpit, CSI can see a beautiful planet, Dantooine, appearing in front of him. Dantooine. Once a Jedi Enclave…It had trapped so many lone souls… CSI looked away from the planet as many past rose into his brain.

 

Dantooine Landing Pad. The Imperial shuttle roared and landed on the Dantooine. With a soft steam hiss, the loading ramp slowly opened and CSI’s ghostly figure appeared.

 

It hasn’t changed a bit since I came here last time, CSI thought when he looked around the landing pad. Same buildings, same sky, same grass, same tree and no people around. Nothing changed at all.

 

CSI sighed and walked towards the Khooda building which was just outside the Landing Pad. When he stepped out of the landing pad, he sensed a small echo through the Force. A Force Sensitive? Strange…What’s a Force Sensitive doing here? CSI tried to concentrate harder, but all he can see though the Force is a gray figure. Who’s that? A gray Force Sensitive? CSI shrugged and shook his head, attempting to clear it out of his mind, Maybe an illusion. Got so much stress lately, and I must have a rest.

 

Meanwhile, on the Star Forge, Darth Revan kissed his wife, Bastila, and issued his order to her: “My love, I want our five most worthy assassins here…I need to speak with them.”

 

“Yes, my love. I’ll go right away.” She kissed Revan’s forehead and left his room.

 

Darth Revan smiled. He touched his forehead, Bastila’s breath was still there. Then he closed his eyes and began meditating.

 

Standing in front of the door of Khooda building, CSI knocked the door, and waited a while. Nobody answered. The place is deserted, after the attack of Darth Nihilus, my former identity. CSI sighed and all his past swarmed into his brain. Because of the mask, nobody can see his facial impression. He sighed again and opened the front door.

 

The front door made an sharp sliding noise and some dust fell off the door. Clearly, this place had been deserted for a long time. CSI entered the area and looked around. The reception area is empty. “Hello?” He asked kindly and waited for a while. Then he heard his echo echoed throughout the empty building.

 

CSI sighed and entered the building though right entrance, and found a good place at Khooda Supervisor’s office. He sat down and crossed his legs, and began meditating.

 

The Twi’Lek Jedi Master, Nauk Grelan walked towards Khoonda. He sensed a strong Force user had landed on the planet via an Imperial shuttle. A Sith came here? He frowned and concentrated even more. Strangely, he only can feel the Force user’s strong Light Side Aura, but no Dark Side Aura. Strange, an Light Sider came here by an Imperial shuttle? After a while, he put on his robe and went to the Khooda to take a look at the visitor.

 

Nauk wasn’t the greatest Jedi ever, since he once fallen to Dark Side, after the battle on the Star Forge. But he soon redeemed himself, however. After this quick descent, he neither followed the Light or Dark path, just his own. “A gray Jedi, like Jolee” would be the perfect remark on him.

 

Opening the front gate, He saw a Human was sitting there and meditating peacefully. “Hello? Excuse me,” Nauk began, expecting a reply. He was curious about the Human and wanted to know more.

 

“Hmm?” CSI heard a voice behind him and turned around. A Twi’lek Jedi? Who is he? CSI frowned a little and suddenly recalled, He must be the one I saw when I was outside the landing pad, a gray figure. That must be him. “Hi, eh, Master…” CSI made a polite bow and continued, “I don’t think I already catch your name? Oh, sorry, how rude! I forgot to introduce myself, my name is CSI, a Human Jedi Master.”

[Diego Varen]

Nauk wasn’t a great Jedi ever, since he once fallen to Dark Side, after the battle on the Star Forge.

 

The a great should be the greatest. Just a minor correction. Anyway, good Chapter as always and there is nothing much to comment on, except the fact that Nauk was intended to be like Jolee, since he is a slightly more evil compared to Jolee. Looking foward to more and have you been working on this instead of the CSI series?

[CSI]

Thank you for the advice and I corrected it.

 

Well, sorry I didn't know, should I change it into Kreia?

 

And, off topic, I will work on CSI series once I finish this. I don't want my fictions to be scrambled and I want to finish my fictions one by one. Thank you for your note.

Whew! that has to be my longest post ever! But I arrived at the fic late, and you wanted me to, so here you go! And let me assure you that I am in no way criticizing the fic, it's fabulous! To convert an rp into a fic is no easy task.... and mostly it was accidental instances of 1st person slipping in from the rp..... looking forward to the next chapter!

[Diego Varen]

Wow that is a long review. Even mach doesn't do that, but I suppose he doesn't have time, what with reviewing about ten Fics a week here. Hey Aurora, aren't you going to review the Prologue I wrote? People seem to forget that I started the Fic off, before I left the Fic to write other Fics, like my Sera Tana Saga.

[Aurora Starfire]

I didn't forget about you, Pottsie, or your prologue. I just didn't see anything in my initial read-through, but after looking over it again, I did see this:

On the STAR FORGE, two former JEDI MASTERS fight for their lives on the STAR FORGE, the new base of operations for Revan’s new SITH ARMADA.

It has a "STAR FORGE" redundancy there.... it should probably be changed to something like On the STAR FORGE, the new base of operations for Revan’s new SITH ARMADA, two former JEDI MASTERS fight for their lives.

 

But really, both of you did an awesome job bringing the rp to life in fanfic form!

[Diego Varen]

Thanks for the review on the Prologue Aurora and thanks for saying CSI and I brought the RP to life as a Fanfic. I'll correct that part in the Prologue now.

[CSI]

Chapter 10

 

“A pleasure to meet you,” the Twi’lek Jedi said without any emotion in his voice, “My name is Nauk Grelan. I once followed the path of Light Side, but since my last fall to the Dark Side, I no longer follow that path. Frankly, I’m not with any side. I’m just a simple man with a wry sense of humor, trying to make his way in the Galaxy.” With a pause, he chuckled at his own joke, before continuing.

 

CSI smiled, too.

 

After a brief pause, Nauk asked politely: “May I ask what you’re doing here?”

 

Polite words…A diplomatist. Mmm…I can see he is a good person, too.CSI thought for a while before saying to Nauk: “I see,” CSI returned his calm voice, “Sorry I didn’t make myself clear, I’m a former Sith Lord, too.” He felt there is nothing to hide in front of a Jedi, “Formerly known as Lord of Hunger, Darth Nihilus. Now we finally got something in common, right?” CSI smiled.

 

After a brief pause, CSI announced: “I was meditating and I’m afraid that Darth Revan had returned, while he walked further deep down on the Dark Side path. And we had a duel, then he interrogated me. I tricked him by duplicating my image to lure him away then I grabbed a shuttle by Exar Kun’s temple, then flew here, then I was meditating here, the end. I know the story is not exciting, but frankly, I’m bad at making long speeches.”

 

“I was aware of that.” Nauk told CSI, “That’s why the Jedi were so foolish to let him alive, in my opinion. I sense that Revan is going to send his elite assassins squads to assassinate the remaining Jedi, including us both. Dantooine is no longer safe now and we should leave, however, I respect your opinion on this matter.” Nauk frowned upon Revan’s plot.

 

“I don’t think an Sith Assassin is a match to Jedi Master.” CSI thought for a while, then he continued, “Not even a squad of Sith Assassins.”

 

“No, this is a different case. This kinds of Sith Assassins perfected their sneak attack ability. You don’t want to encounter them, even a single one.” Nauk warned.

 

“OK, point taken. I still believe in redemption, no one is under redemption, no one.” CSI emphasized on “No one” and scratched his head, “But regardless, you’re probably right. This place is no longer safe…” He looked around them, and added, “and deserted. By the way, I appreciate your respect, but do you have any good idea?”

 

“Indeed.” Nauk looked around and scratched his chin, thinking: What place would be safe from Revan and the Sith? Lehon wouldn’t be safe, since Revan gathered his new Sith armada there and all the core worlds where Revan had gone to find the Star Maps wouldn’t be safe either. “Coruscant,” Nauk finally raised his head and suggested, “Perhaps some of the surviving Jedi have gathered there. Although with Master Vandar, there isn’t anyone responsible enough to lead the Jedi. So what do you think?”

 

CSI thought for a while: Coruscant wouldn’t be safe because it’s central of the galaxy, and the ancient Jedi Temple is still there, which means Revan would definitely target there. If not there, then where? Suddenly, he recalled a perfect place to hide: “How about Nar Shaddaa?” CSI asked Nauk, “I think we need to get into undercover if we need to hide from Revan, and there are a lot of refugees, bounty hunters, and other scums. What do you think? Besides, I have all equipments to go undercover—vibroblades, armors, blasters, and other stuff. And eh, I know you’d complain about this, but trust me, they’re useful, especially you have an huge army behind your back.

[Diego Varen]

The part where CSI and Nauk meet. It's great to see how you brought our RP characters to life and you've done it well. I'm looking foward to more.

[Anakin Skywalker]

^ Agreed

 

“No, this is a different case. These kinds of assassins have perfected their sneak attack ability. You don’t want to encounter them, even a single one.” Nauk warned.

 

I found the repetativness of Sith Assassins to be a little boring... now i've fixed that in the above statement... perhaps you don't want to fix it, I don't know...

[CSI]

I will fix all my mistakes and misuses when I post final drafts, by you and Aurora Starfire...Thank you for the suggest, I think.

[CSI]

Chapter 10

Star Forge. Darth Revan barked: “Where is Bastila?”

 

“Milord…” A Dark Jedi dressed in red appeared in front of Revan and knelt down.

 

“What?” Revan barked.

 

“The Mistress of Darkness sent me to see you…She said you needed Elite Sith Assassins.” He replied, attempted to overcome his fear.

 

“Yes, so you are here about that, right?” Revan’s yellow eyes glowed.

 

“Yes, milord.”

 

“Good. Now we must wait. I sense that Nihilus is on the move.” Revan bellowed at the Dark Jedi and sat down, meditating.

 

----

 

“Perhaps you’re right,” Nauk replied, “We need a different name too, just in case Revan is searching for us. I’ll go with, mm…Grauk Nelan…” CSI chuckled and Nauk stared at him for a moment, “Not creative, I know, but it should be enough to hide from the Sith. When shall we leave?”

 

CSI stopped chuckling and seriousness came back to his face: “About 20 minutes later, after we dress up, we can go.” CSI walked to a big closet and opened it. Nauk was amazed that there are two Bounty Hunter armors which looks awfully similar to Jango Fett’s armor. CSI took one out of the closet and tossed to Nauk: “Put this on, and…catch!” Nauk’s eyes widened when he saw a heavy blaster and various weapons to him, and he masterfully used Force to catch them. “Impressive, Master Grelan, impressive.” CSI smiled and continued, “I know blasters are uncivilized, but when situation calls, we have to answer it, even if it makes you looking crude.” When he put on his helmet, he said through the voice amplifier: “Now, CSI is gone…Bounty Hunter Tahiti Nui is here. Go for some bounty!”

 

Nauk sighed and put on his gears reluctantly. “Are you sure about this, CSI?”

 

CSI replied calmly: “Yeah, I’m sure of this, Nauk…or should I call you Grauk?”

 

“Yeah, please.” Nauk responded when he put on his helmet. “You call me Grauk, not Nauk as we’re now officially Bounty Hunters.”

 

“Loud and clear,” CSI, now Tahiti, replied, “Now we must hurry off here!”

 

“Right,” Grauk replied.

 

Tahiti packed all his stuff and said, “Let’s roll!”

 

Grauk’s thought flashed in his brain: Now the journey began…

 

A minute later, two “Bounty Hunters” ran to the shuttle on Dantooine Landing Dock through the sunset on Khooda Plain.

 

So uncivilized, Grauk thought as he tried to catch up with Tahiti. Nar Shaddaa wouldn’t be the greatest planet to go for a trip, but since they were both now prey of Revan’s Elite Sith Assassins, they had no other choice.

 

The engine roared and came to life. The ship slowly departed from Dantooine Landing Dock. Through the window, Tahiti can see the building and plain is rapidly shrinking. As the shuttle went into space, all he can see was stars and a beautiful planet, Dantooine. Beautiful planet, Tahiti thought, But we have to go. Farewell, birthplace of the Jedi. Tahiti looked back into the dashboard and set the destination to Nar Shaddaa.

 

“The course is on Nar Shaddaa, right?” Grauk asked while he piloted the ship.

 

“Yes, and now I’m going to check the Radar System and the weapon system, then we can go into hyperspace, okay?”

 

“You got it.” Grauk nodded.

 

Tahiti carefully checked the radar system and weapon system, all green. “All checks out,” he returned to the co-pilot seat and punched in Nar Shaddaa’s coordinates and said: “Ready for hyperdrive.”

 

Grauk pressed several button, and punched a big button. The hyperdrive hummed and the star streaked into lines.

 

“Nar Shaddaa,” Grauk muttered under his breath, “A hive of scum and villainy, here we come.” Then he looked at his new companion. He didn’t know much about him, other than his name, CSI. After a long pause, Grauk broke the ice: “You can’t be called CSI,” Grauk carefully chose his words, “No Jedi in the Order has ever had their name as initials. Surely you must have a proper name. Oh, and if my piloting is dodgy, forgive me. I’m not the greatest pilot in the galaxy.”

 

Tahiti looked at Grauk: “No problem, I’m not the greatest pilot, either. Well, speaking of the name, I don’t think I have a name as I was raised as a Sith Lord, named Darth Nihilus. Therefore I don’t have a name. But now I’m a Jedi, so I just named myself CSI.”

 

“Mmm…Interesting.” Grauk sighed and asked Tahiti: “Now what do we do now? We’re hyperspacing…”

 

“Okay, how about a practice round of Pazaak game? No money required, just Pazaak, okay?” Tahiti took out a standard deck of Pazaak cards and smiled.

 

Grauk sighed again and took the first card.

[Aurora Starfire]

Good chapter, CSI. Just a couple things I wanted to point out:

Nauk was amazed that there are two Bounty Hunter armors which looks awfully similar to Jango Fett’s armor. CSI took one out of the closet and tossed to Nauk: “Put this on, and…catch!” Nauk’s eyes widened when he saw a heavy blaster and various weapons to him, and he masterfully used Force to catch them. should probably be Nauk was amazed that there were two sets of Bounty Hunter armor which looked awfully similar to Jango Fett’s armor.

I think that's it. But the chapters great, overall. Keep it up, CSI!

[CSI]

Chapter 11

 

[Off-topic: Sorry for the long waiting, I had a writer’s block. Hope you still enjoy this…Bows to the following LFers.]

 

More Elite Sith Assassin swarmed into the room. The sound of “Milord, I’m ready to serve you” had enchanted magically with surprise unisons.

 

Darth Revan smiled evilly under his mask. “He’s upon Nar Shaddaa, I sense he has an ally…Capture them and take them to Rakata Prime. If you fail me…” Darth Revan held up a fist. Then he narrowed his eyes: Nihilus. You will not escape from me…again!

“Yes, Milord!” All Sith Assassins shouted in unison.

 

“Good, now what are you waiting for?” Darth Revan growled.

 

----

 

In the cockpit, CSI slammed his last card on the table. It was a +7/-5 Card. “Look, I won! You already got beyond 20!”

 

Grauk fell to the chair, exhausted: “OK, Tahiti, I’m exhausted, can we check the course?”

 

“No problem. However it’s just a practice round.” Tahiti said when he felt a cold chill. Darth Revan? He frowned under his helmet, What is Darth Revan up to?

 

No doubt, Grauk sensed it, too. The huge disturbance of course grabbed their attention. “Did you feel it? Darth Revan!” Grauk muttered under his breath, “He can sense us through the Force. Running away won’t help us at all.”

 

“Yes,” In an attempt to cheer Grauk up, Tahiti smiled, “But at least we are not on Dantooine, besides if we’re bounty hunters, we can go wherever we please, right? Even know ‘Cat and mouse’?”

 

Grauk appreciated Tahiti’s effort loosen him up, “Yes, I do know. But as always games bore me after a while. Perhaps we should cut our connection off from the Force to prevent ourselves from being sensed by Revan. Oh and by the way, Nar Shaddaa is in front of us now.”

 

“True, but it’s hard to reestablish the connection with the Force.” Tahiti thought for a while, “Like you said, if the destiny let us to showdown with Revan, so be it. This is no longer a game. This is a live-or-dead thing.” Then he pointed to a empty landing pad, “Land over there, the former spot that Red Ecllipse attacked the Exile when they landed Ebon Hawk.”

 

“No problem.” Grauk maneuvered as comfortable as he could to land the shuttle on the unoccupied landing pad.

 

The path to villainy and scum is just outside. “Great. Let’s go.” Grauk stood up and sighed.

 

“Right, we got bunches of business to take care.” Tahiti said cheerfully, “Don’t worry, I believe we will hide ourselves well. Besides don’t kill our enemies, just incapacitate them.”

 

When they disembarked the shuttle, they were greeted by a group of bounty hunters. The leader, a Rodian, said: “Look, fresh meat. I love it.”

 

“Who are you taking?” Tahiti asked Grauk with a sarcastic tone.

 

“I’ll take the stupid one who decided to threaten us rather than shoot us when he had the chance.” Grauk replied back smiling.

 

“Good.”

 

“I don’t know what you fresh meats are talking, but it’s bounty time!” A trandoshan proclaimed excitingly.

 

“Since when bounty was put on bounty hunters?” Tahiti said with a nod.

 

“Good point,” Grauk nodded back and suddenly ignited his lightsaber. A green blade came out. They’re astonished as they have never seen a bounty hunter with a Lightsaber. Grauk Force Jumped in and skewed their hands off. They wailed in pain.

 

“Good swordsmanship,” Tahiti commented, “But we must learn to hide ourselves out.”

 

“True, but we need a hideout, right?” Grauk objected.

 

“Fine, have it your way. Which weapon to use is not important, the most important thing is teamwork. In order to survive in this messy planet, we need to find a hide out. What do you think?” Tahiti asked Grauk.

 

“I couldn’t agree more on this, lead the way.” Grauk made a “Please” pose.

 

Tahiti sighed and started walking towards the Vogga the Hutt’s palace: “Let’s find some bounty first…”

 

Grauk replied: “I disagree with the idea. Working for a Hutt is a bad idea, though.”

 

“Through this we can gain access to more Jedi. I know there is a huge bounty for Jedi, and if we camouflage ourselves well, we may avoid being detected and get a huge bounty.” Tahiti explained.

 

“Fine. Lead on.” Grauk spoke at last.

Chapter 12

 

Kirabaros had come to Nar Shaddaa for the need to help. Being drawn to suffering was a terrible weakness and one he couldn't help if it raged like wildfire across space. He had docked at the refugee sector and set about wandering the platform. Paying for information, he found that another Jedi had come through there and had alleviated the burdens there. This made Kirabaros puzzled and he inwardly turned to find out why he was drawn to this place. With a sigh, he walked into the Apartment Complex and asked the manager: “I want to rent a room.”

 

“OK, the standard room is 50 credits per day.”

 

“Done.” Kirabaros put some credits on the table, took the key from the manager then entered the room. Sitting on the bed, he began meditating.

 

----

 

“This is it.” Tahiti stood in front of Vogga the Hutt’s palace, “This will be the place that we find all scattering Jedi on Nar Shaddaa.”

 

“Are you sure that is a good idea?” Grauk’s voice ran into my eardrum via the comlink integrated in our helmets, “Dealing with Hutts? That’s not very Jedi-like.”

 

“Trust me, I can handle this.” When they walked into the meeting room of the Palace, they encountered a pair of Thugs.

 

“Tax time!” One of them said, waved his might axe.

 

“Or you won’t pass!” Another thug wagged his finger at us.

 

“Look, we’re bounty hunters, ok? You will eat a plasma bolt in your brain, and I’m sure you don’t want that, do you?” Tahiti growled.

 

One of them looked scared to us: “These guys got big muscles.”

 

The other said: “Yeah, it’ll be a good idea to let them pass.”

 

“Thank you, gentlemen. You have chosen the wise choice.” Tahiti nodded and said sternly.

 

Grauk whispered through the comlink: “I don’t think this is a good idea, intimating the guards…”

 

Tahiti whispered back: “See? At least it worked.”

 

“What do you want to see Vogga the Hutt for?” An aide asked Tahiti and Grauk, “Vogga the Hutt is sleeping. He told us not to wake him up, unless something urgency.”

 

“Look, we all got business to do, so wake him up, and I mean right now. Or you want us to do that?” It was Grauk.

 

“Tell me what you want, or I won’t wake him up.” The Aide replied.

 

“Fine.” Grauk cocked his blaster, “Let me put a hole on his head and see if he will wake up or not.” Suddenly the atmosphere became tense. The guards waved the axe to Tahiti and Grauk.

 

Tahiti looked at Grauk and shook his head. “Don’t do it, we don’t want any casualties here. You know, Colonel Tobin once said, ‘Get them men, and watch your aim. Civilian casualties cause a mess of paperwork.’”

 

Grauk scoffed: “OK, just don’t let things get out of control.”

 

Tahiti nodded: “This is done without saying.” Then he suddenly raised his voice: “We’re here for some bounties put on Jedi.”

 

This sound was loud enough to wake Vogga up. “What happened? I thought I told you that not to wake me up!” He was clearly irritated to the aide.

 

“No, sir,” Tahiti and Grauk laughed out a little when he heard the aide hurried to comfort the Hutt, “It was the bounty hunters who disturbed you. They said they can help you to hunt down Jedi.”

 

“Mmm…” Vogga was still half-asleep, “OK, you the bounty hunters, now you go, and get some Jedi, and we’ll award you tremendously. Well, if you have nothing else, see you at the door.”

 

“First one, We don’t serve under slimy bugs. Second one, you can go back to your sleep now.” Tahiti said, “Let’s go.” Then he headed to the door. Grauk followed him tightly.

 

“Great act, Tahiti!” When they went out of Vogga and his guard’s hearing, Grauk admired, “Wow, I never seen anyone act like that.”

 

“Thank you, now let’s go find our first Jedi companion…I sense there is one nearby.” Tahiti calmed himself, and began to search for the Jedi. “Did you sense it? I found him. He’s in the apartment complex.”

 

“Yes, I sensed it…Let’s go!”

Kirabaros sensed something is not right. Two Force Sensitive disguised in bounty hunters? Kirabaros wondered, What are they doing? But he can’t see who actually are. Suddenly, the door flew into his room and smashed into a shelf behind it. And a small smoke bomb rolled in, and soon, the room was filled with smoke. Kirabaros coughed: “Darn…” slowly, he was knocked off. Before he fell down, he heard someone said: “We got him, let’s go.” This is the last thing he know before he was knocked off.

Yay, another chapter! Good work, CSI!

Just a couple things....

 

A couple of first-person slips....

Grauk’s voice ran into my eardrum via the comlink integrated in our helmets

One of them looked scared to us

Should probably be Grauk’s voice ran into his eardrum via the comlink integrated in their helmets and this one probably needs the last bit taken off (to make it clearer): One of them looked scared

 

These need a change to past tense:

Kirabaros sensed something is not right. to Kirabaros sensed something was not right.

 

But he can’t see who actually are. to But he couldn't see who they actually were.

 

For these two, I think you meant "knocked out" ("knocked off" sort of meaning killed)

slowly, he was knocked out.

 

And this one had a couple of other little problems:

Before he fell down, he heard someone say: “We got him, let’s go.” This was the last thing he knew before he was knocked out.

 

But I liked it, overall. Can't wait for more!
