Matt went to Tepe sensing him with the force. He arrived at his side quickly.
"Is there anything I should do?"

Vulgar the Hutt and Darth Galador were on there way to the planet when a super star destroyer appeared before them.

The large dark brown hutt nodded uncomfortably to the sith master. "I will continue to Geonosis to oversee contructon of the death star." With that the Hutt slithered out of the Darth Tepe's room.

Darth Galador looked to Darth Tepe. "What is next on the agenda Darth Tepe, shall we merely wait here until the Death Star is complete or complete another task."

The Hutt arrived back at his Palace on Geonosis. There were Geonosian slaves milling around as well as Dancer Girls of different races. Vulgar made it to a large sauna like room where another smaller hutt soaked in a hot tub. "Everything is going to plan when the death stars laser is ready we will lie to the sith, tell them its ready and then alert the entire republic fleet, then with the press of a button we will wipe out the sith fleet and the republic fleet."
Both of the Hutts laughed meniacly.

((Now is a double-edged lightsaber one with two blades going the same direction.))

Tepe turned to see the window. He sighed. "Galador, yes, go to cloud city. Start shipments to Geonosis emmediatly. Ant problem with the republic must be eliminated..." he said and then turned to Max. "My apprentice... You must go down to Geonosis and take over the construction. Warn the Hutt's not to try anything stupid... If you sence any change in their mood... If they are worried or confident, kill them. Slaughter them, so both can see the other fall down dead" he said and then looked at the death star.

Max nodded and went back to the Hutts.
"I am to oversee you in the construction. Do anything stupid and you will be warned. Fail to correct it and you will not live to try again"

Darth Tepe turned to a trooper from, his loyal guard. "Get my shuttle ready. I want to see the construction more closely..." he said and the trooper left, with his black cape flapping behind him.

Soon, a small shuttle flew throught a section of the death star, still under construction, and no real construction had been started yet. Only the iron pipes made the section look like a ball. The super laser was allmost ready, and the smaller quarters for the workers were built. Tepe sighed and sat down to think as he looked throught the window. "They seem to be rushing with the super laser..." he said and looked more carefully. "And there's no real defence mechanism..." he mumbled and opened the comlink. A hologram appeared infront of Max as he was away from the Hutts at the time. "Max, you need to halt the building of the superlaser, and start the construction of the defence mechanisms. There's no turbo lasers or shields yet. Start them immediatly" he said and the hologram disparsed and dissapeared.

Nevek got into the Bespin System, eh turned on his cloaking device, almost impossible to see with a radar or the naked eye, he landed on the outskirts of Cloud city, he wordked his way to where they were doing the major work.
"they took over the city and now they are taking the gas.." Nevek mumbled to himself, he motioned for the commandoes to spread out and take out the guards as silently as possible without killing them, Nevek did the same.

Max went back to the Hutts.
"You are to stop building teh superlaser and begin work on the shields and turbolasers."

((Wow jokemaster you dont have very involving posts do you, or are you just waiting to make a reallyl good one))

Vulgar the Hutt was eating dinner at a large table with several other hutts and geonosian slaves. A sith entered and threatened them. Vulgar looked at his brother across the table. "Of course master sith, we would never imagine of betraying our allies, it would be foolish, as for the death star, we merely had the majority of the resources for the superlaser. Everything is going correctly."

Darth Galador reached Cloud City again in the Star Destroyer Vengeance. He saw his brother's four Viper Battlecruisers(Just black shaped like large 3 demensional letter V's, a little smaller than SD's). Excellent with those four, this Star Destroyer and the four victory class star destroyers, along with our stolen Calamarian Cruiser, I have an impressive fleet, Galador thought to himself. He reached the main citadel of cloud city which had control of everything. His brother was there, a shorter fatter Zabrak with a military suit. "Excellent brother, with this fleet, the rest of Darth Tepe's and the new Death Star, the republic will be helpless," He told his brother and Leiutenant Shiv.

Nevek and his commandoes moved through the city like ghosts, as they knocked out the guards and dragged them into the shadows, they evaded other patrols and cameras, the reached the inner city and they saw the man city tower, it was heavily guarded.
"ok, i want 2 of you to create a minor distraction over there, and while you do that we will sneak inside, and try and lead the guards as far away form the tower as possible, and then knock them out".
"yes sir" 2 commandoes went over to the shadows and distracted the guards, Nevek and the other commandoes snuk inside the building.

((My keyboard is messed up, most of the time when I press a letter 3 more are typed, I'm not in the moodrgb to fix that.))
"I have no interest inthe majority of the resources. I want the shields and turbolasers built within a week."

(hah moodrgb)
Nevek sneaked aournd a corner and knocked out 2 more guards and put them in a closet, the commandoes went down one corridor and Nevek went down the other, he came up to a experiment lab, he sneaked in using force speed and he went up and took note of the experiments and the plans for a death star, then got out without any of the scientists noticing.

As Darth Galador looked out the main window on his new city he sensed something. A jedi. He left his room and headed to the control room. When he got there he said to a man sitting at one of the controls. "Let me see all the cameras in the building," He said to the man. All the screens showed nothing. He headed out on his way to the research room. He saw a jedi and two commando like troopers leaving thru the shadows. He ignited his red lightsaber.

((shut up))
Max made sure the shields and turbolasers were being worked on.

"go quick, find the power source, and destroy it, they should need a new one, thats how much i need ALL power sources destroyed, even the back ups"
"yes sir" they whispered, nevek then turned and ignited his saber
"hello, i don't believe we've met".

Max turned to a high-level employee.
"You give me a high-level security card."
"But-"
"Now." Max's eyes flashed with anger and it was felt by everyone force-sensitive who was close to him (basically tepe, nevek)
"Yes......sir" Said the man nervously running. He came back handed him a security card and ran off again.
"Good. I will be conducting inspections. But for now I will retire for the day."
Max went away from the room before someone offered to lead him somewhere. He could find his own way. But first he found the tavern where the workers hanged out after-hours. He went in.

Once inside he looked around. He decided to order a drink. He ordered some corellian ale, but as he turned around he saw something that made him stop in his tracks.



He had once heard of being 'struck by the thunderbolt' in a holo-movie. It meant you saw someone that you instantly fell in love with. Well if it was true then this was it.
There was a girl, about his age, a worker. She was sitting alone at a table, so he picked up his drink, and walked over to her.
"Mind if I sit here?"
"Not if you don't mind my asking you some questions."
"Sure" said Max
"What are you doing here when you're dressed so nicely? shouldn't you be with the higher ranks' bars?"
Max smiled thinly "Well, I'm a junior supervisor, up there I'm the lowest rank, here I'm in the middle." He half-lied, technically he was a junior, and technically he was here to supervise.
"Nice. so I guess you're a new arrival."
"Why?"
"You should know you can't have a relationship with workers. "
"Rules?"
"Unwritten ones." She said, then walked out. Max finished his drink and went to his room to rest.

"No I don't beleive we have," Galador said to him. "Maximize security all over the city," he also said to a confused stormtrooper behind him. Suddenly he shot a bolt of sith electricity at the jedi.

Nevek acted quickly and made a force shield that absorbed the lightning bolt.
Nevek then threw a box at him through the force.

Darth Tepe walked around the same levels that Max was on as he saw a girl leave the bar Max was in. Tepe smiled as the girl didnдt see him at first, but ehen she did, she bowed and backed off. Darth Tepe grinned and nodded her to come closer. "You know the inspector you just talked with..." he started, as he had gotten a small looksee into the future. "...Go into his room. Heres the directions. Keep him company. Talk to him..." Tepe said and gave the girl a holopod. She left and Tepe melted into the shadows of a corner just as Max walked throught the cantina door. Tepe smiled, looking out of his shuttle again.

Darth Galador held his lightsaber in front of it to block it. He then charged Nevek with swinging his lightsaber.

((Enter dramatic lightsaber duel))

Nevek parried that attack, but decided to duck and roll instead, he got back up and and circle around looking for a weakness, so he charged and did a series of slices.

As Max left the cantina he thought he could feel a slight hint of Tepe's presence there. He chalked it up to his imagination and ignored it. He went back to his room.
------
The girl thought about what she was about to do. On the one hand she had liked Max in the Cantina, but she knew she was only doing this because Tepe told to her, and she knew he would kill her if she didn't
----
Max was meditating when there was suddenly a knock on his door. He stopped and heard it open before he even ordered it to. He went to the main room and saw the girl standing there.
"What are you doing here?"he asked.
"Well, I said it wouldn't do us good to be seen together not that we couldn't be together. Besides I left before giving you my name." She sat down. "It's Falynn by the way."
"How did you get in here?"
"Your friend gave me directions and the door code. You didn't tell me you worked directly for someone that important"
Tepe! thought Max. He had probably been following him around.
"And tell me, how does someone like you end up in a backwater factory like this."
Max sighed "It's a long story."
"We've got a lot of time" Replied Falynn.
Max sat down and told her how he came to this situation, leaving out the place where he had beena jedi and altering how he met Tepe.

Galador parried each of his attacks with precision. He attacked him several times with slashes but each time he blocked all of them. He jumped and flipped all the way over him with a backwards jab.

Nevek anticipated the stab, so he ducked and rolled out of the way then he got up and charged at him, but instead of slashing he jumped over him and kicked him in his back.

Galador got kicked in the back but managed to maneuver it into a roll. He force pushed him in the direction of the wall and followed it up with several slashes in every direction.

Back at Geonosis Vulgar the Hutt studied a holo of the death star plans. It was at about 85% completion in every area. He looked at several mini holo ships swarming the palm sized deathstar. He looked to his younger assistant and said," These sith can see right thru us, you have the self destruct codes dont you." The young hutt nodded and handed him a data pad and said to Vulgar," But why would we want to destroy it Mighty Vulgar?"

"Oh just in case we run into trouble," The large hutt said with a smile in his native language.

"Wow" Said Falynn when Max finished. "So now you're working for the guy who killed your parents?"
"Well, I guess it's kind of like if a soldier kills your parents on orders, defects and then you enlist and serve under him. It was nothing he could control, and now we're fighting against the people who gave the orders."
"But still, don't you want to kill him?"
"Part of me, but I'd rather kill the people who ordered it."He looked at his chrono. "You work on Nal Hutta standard time here, right?"
"Yeah"
"Well, you better get back to wherever you live, or you're gonna be late tomorrow."
She was suprised. "What?"
"Yeah, I did some research after I found out Hutts ran this place. I don't want you to get in trouble"
She composed herself. "You're right. I'd better go."
She left and headed to her quarters.
Max sighed and went out to look for wherever Darth Tepe was hiding.

Tepe stepped from the shadows to confront Max. "You were looking for me?" Tepe said and let out a grin

Nevek broke the force push, but still got a little shoved back, he dodged one slice then blocked the rest and stepped back.
"do you plan to constantly fight me over and over again, neither of us are faultering, it is hopeless, come join me, you know this is wrong, i can sense the confliction within you, join me and together we can defeat tepe and his lackeys."

Darth Galador laughed meniacly at the jedi. "If you could only realize the power people like me will weild when the sith take over, but I know it is no use with a foolish jedi like yourself." With that Galador stepped back past a door and shut in front of him, as did the one behind the jedi. Now that he was trapped some form of knockout gas filled the room.

Galador told a stormtrooper to wait ten minutes for the gas to take effect then put him in the cells. Several Stormtroopers waited outside the locked door.

"damn" Nevek pulled out a rebreather and placed it on his mouth, it was good for 5 minutes, he had little time to find a way out, nevek turned off his lightsaber and checked the room for ventilation shafts, Nevek couldn't find anything, the room was sealed, he activated his lightsaber and stuck it through the door, trying to melt it open, but they shut the blast door, his rebreather had no oxygen left, Nevek fell down unconcious.

"Yeah. I don't think the Hutts are being honest with us."

The stormtroopers carried the limp jedi and took him to a cell.

Galador was back at the main tower in Cloud City and told Leiutenant Shiv," I want two dozen troopers watching the jedi outside his cell in case he wakes up. Continue maximuizing security around the city, this will be an excellent gift for Darth Tepe, but it won't be free."

He activated a holopad infront of him which went directly to Darth Tepe. He told him,"Darth Tepe, I have something in which you will be most pleased with, I have the jedi you were battling before, If you give me command of two more star destroyers I will send him to you, or you can come here and get him."

Nevek was still unconsious, but in his mind appeared a vision, of what exactly he was to do, kill the stoorm troopers, then force run down a certain number of hallways to a secret exit.

A small transmition left Geonosis and made it's way to Corusant.
It was too small to be noticed by Sith or Hutts.
----
A man read it's contents. It was a picture of Max in the cantina, along with some info. It said that, although he was apparently working for Tepe, he didn't seem to be too far into the dark side. It was forwarded to the Jedi COuncil

Nevek woke up, but didn't open his eyes, he could feel the presence of the strom troopers, all in 5 seconds he had force pushed the stormies into the wall and force pulled the access card to open his cell, he got out and knocked out the storm troopers then ran down the hallways and grabbed his lightsaber on the way.

Galador was in his new makeshift throneroom. It was the Bespin library. The shelves were filled with drawers containting data disks and there was even shelves with old books. He was meditating on what his next move was when an alarm rang. A stormtrooper ran in and told him the jedi escaped. He got up and shouted,"What!"

((Sorry I havent replied in a few days, been playing battlefront and watching star wars dvd))

(no worries)
the alarm bell rang, as expected stromtroopers were running after him and othere attemped to cut him off as well, he just slid under them or plowed right through them.

Darth Galador was in the security room looked at all the screens and he could not spot the jedi. He could still sense him in Cloud City though. "Strengthen security all over the city. We must not let him escape," Darth Galador ordered to Leiutenant Shiv.

Back in Nar Shadda Vulgar the Hutt thought of a plan. He was expecting some sort of battle with the New Republic, this would be the centerstone to his grand scheme.

Back in Geonosis the new Death Star was at 99% complete. It would be complete within the next 10 hours.

Nevek sensed all his commandoes were dead, he would remember the dead later, he had a mission now, get to his ship and tell the council what the empire(?) was up to.

Nevek ran as fast as he could dodgeing and blocking shots, he jumped over stoorm troopers, he reached a point of forceness that he looked like a blur he was running so fast, he ran to the edge of a platform and jumped, few flew right near where his ship was, no one was there, good no had found his ship, it was still cloaked, he got on and flew off.

((actually I think would be better if us bad guys were refered to as the sith))

Darth Galador rushed out onto a platform and knew the jedi had left. The cold bespin wind was blowing in his face. He knew the republic would know everything know. He decided he must tell Darth Tepe. He pushed a stormtrooper aside in his anger. He got up to the control room with a mean glare on his face. He grabbed his comlink which was connected to Darth Tepe. "Darth Tepe the republic will soon be informed of our death star, theres nothing I could do, the jedi escaped," he told Darth Tepe over the comlink.

Nevek soon arrived on coruscant he landed and ran as fast as he could to the council chambers.
"the empire is building another death star on geonosis, you must send all forces, as far as i know, it is near to completion, max, is leading the operation, if i can get to him and convince him to come back to the light, i might be able to delay the finishing touches to the death star and maybe lower the sheilds."

Darth Galador looked overhead as his fleet was forming. He had his Star Destroyer, Vengeance, the 4 victory class star destroyers, his stolen mon calamarian cruiser, his brothers four viper class ships as well. He was ready to send his ships to the Geonosis.

(i hope it is ok if i take over the council)

"yes, i sensed great evil somewhere, i shall send as many ships as i can, but you Nevek shall go to Hapan and try and get their support".
"yes masters, i will" Nevek then ran out and down to his ship as fast as possible, he took off and set a course for Hapan.

The new information on Max arrived to Nevek's datapad
-------
Max finished his conversation wiht Tepe and went back to sleep


((Hey, Malastar, how come it only takes about 4-10 hours to build a Death Star? :confused: :p ))

Nevek landed on the planet, he got out and ran to the chmabers of the Hapan King, he wasn't there, he ran to the arena, he saw a battle was going on, Nevek wished he could jump in and show them how to really use the Hapan Kickboxing technique, he ran up the the King's seats, they let him in.
"your majesty, i need a moment to speak with you, alone"
"alright, since you are a friend of the Hapans."

((well seeing as its 1000 YEARS in the future, I thought it would be fast, besides the Hutts have lots of Geonosian slaves and the new technology, they just needed the right plans))

As Darth Galador was in hyperspace with his fleet, he contacted Darth Tepe. "What will be the new Death Star's first target Darth Tepe, Coruscant maybe?"

A fist hit the table as Darth Tepe heard of the jedi's escape. He started to make a plan...

Darth Tepe looked at Galador's hologram. "No... Coruscant is too strong at the moment. I shall take care of the council. Move your fleet to Hapan. They shall try and convince the king to their side. The death star shall join you there" he said and closed the link, opening another to Max. "Max! We shall go to Coruscant to meet the Jedi council. Board my ship immediatly" he shouted to the comlink and closed it, walking angrily to the window of the command level. He crossed his arms as the death star started moving, 100% complete. It was much bigger than even the second death star. It had no weaknesses showing. Only thing that would destroy it, was an explosion in the main engines, which was deep in the core of the ball. There was no pipe or door to the engine room, as only the engineers and the sith knew how to get there. Darth Tepe watched a shuttle leave the Death Star, just before the huge ball jumped into hyperspace, fully armed and all troopers in high alert status.

Max quickly got dressed again and left a note for Falynn inside. he ran through the hallways to the shuttle.

Darth Galador changed his hyperspace course to Hapan and his fleet headed in a new direction.

((So did you make up the planet Hapan, cuz I cant find info on it anywhere, theres a humanoid species called the Hapan in Hapes CLuster?))

(thats what i meant, the hapan people)

"look sir, if you do not use your ships now, and get them fully operational, the sith will strike here and destroy you, you have to be reasonable"
"hmm, you do have a point, assistant!"
"yes"
"tell the general to get his battle dragons ready, and all of the snub fighters too."
"thank you sir, you will not regret this."

As the shuttle boarded the SSD, a message was sent to the Hapan people.
-------------------------------------------
"My king... I believe you have betrayed our cause. You have promised us your neutrality. Arrest that jedi immediatly, or face your doom" a dark figure said in the hologram message. He had his hood so low, that you could imagine that he himself wouldn't see anything from under the hood. The connection died and left the king thinking
