Conard Anger * a Star Wars story..*
" Remind me why I decided to fly you all the way out here just to
get my head sliced off by a Togorian? you ask him backing up until
your back is pressed tight against the metal wall of the pirates'
ship. You have never been the adventureous type.
" Relax Garret." Arkaan is breathing calmly as he grips his
pulsating green lightsaber. " I sense clumsiness in these
ferocious creatures." But he too, is slowly backing up.
" Why don't you tell that to their faces ?" you try to joke
as you nervously glance around as more and more pirates surround you.
You're no coward, but 12 foot tall bulky creatures with fangs as big
as your fingers is enought to make the bravest of the brave shake.
" On the count of three, we break toward the boarding plank and
back into our ship. " Arkaan whispers as he eyes the lead pirate.
" And try to dodge their Vibro Axes!!"
You grip the blaster strapped to your waist. It was no match for a
Vibro Ax that could easily sever a man's head, but you are suddenly
determined to not let the ugly Togorians kill you and blast your ship
to smithereens. Maybe hanging out with a Jedi all this time is giving
you new courage.
" One,.....Two......" Arkaan is watching the pirate army
around you intently. " Three!!!!!!"
You bolt through the ranks as if you were on fire. Arkaan was right.
The slow Togorians barely had time to grasp what had happened when you
were all the way on the other side of the rooom. But that hardly
stopped them from charging over to you, deadly axes in hand. You take
some weak shots with your blaster.
" Start up the ship when you get to it!!!" Arkaan gasps as
he turns, strikes, and strikes again at the pirates with his
lightsaber. " Don't worry about me!!!"
You nod briefly as you race through the Togorian Pirate ship. You find
the boarding plank and jump into the familiar surroundings of your
ship. A split second later, Arkaan follows. You run over to the
controlls and start up your battered ship. There is a grinding sound
as the ship breaks free. You hear Togorian cries of anger as some of
them are quickly sweeped away into the vacum of outer space. Their
cries are suddenly cut off.
Turning away, you fire the booster rockets and blast away. The Good
News: you don't think that the Togorians are going to follow you. The
Bad News: you head straight into an asteroid field. Concentrating
hard, you grip the controlls tightly as the gravitational pull of the
field brings you in. You swerve right and left trying not to hit the
asteroids that are zooming at you.
" Hey careful!!" Arkaan suddenly cries. " We just
barely missed that!!! And HEY, the Togorians are coming after us! Can
we go faster?"
" Not helping...!!!!" You mutter eyes wide open relying on
pure instinct to dive the ship past asteroids. You just hope you don't
get caught in a space rift. You heard that they are common around
here.
Your heart is in your throat as you lock eyes with the giant Togorian
space pirate. Your breath comes in rapid gasps as you slowly nudge
your Jedi friend Arkaan.
