Fett Bait (Page 3 of 4)

Xeldor exited the cantina, and headed to the Moff's estate, and entered. He took a turbo-lift to the Moff's sleeping chamber's.

"Who let you in?!"

"Me. I'm protecting you for the night, under the strict order of Sergeant Zahgis." That was a lie, but Relias didn't need to know that. "An attack on your life will be attempted tonight; and trust me, I need some money, so you aren't going to die."

"Hmmmm...Sergeant Zahgis, you say? And who delivered this information that dear Sergeant is working on?"

"Me. Uriel Kreigan tried to get me to join in his crusade, but I HATE the Rebellion. The Rebellion hasoffered 35,000 creds to whoever can finish the job, so alot of scum will be here tonight. I need you to move to my quarters for the night. That is the safest place for you right now."

"I would never live in such filth!"

"You could die here if you prefer, but I'm broke right now. Would you rather be unconscious during the stay?" The Moff stiffened.

"Very well, but I will cut whatever the Sergeant is paying you in half."

"You can't control what doesn't come from your coffers." Xeldor turned. Now was the time to find a Stormtrooper named Griffin that Xeldor had heard so much about.

Griffin and lance approached the Alley in which the sniper team had reported the bodies,

"Okay Wolf, Tigs watch our six, where going in" Griffin said over the comm

"Roger That sir" Tigs answered in a whisper

Griffin burst round the corner of the Alley and immediately knelt down, Lance still kneeling at the corner watching down the alley.

"What in the emperor's name happened here" Griffin angrily said as he looked upon the shattered and broken corpses of a number of Shadow commando trainee's and there lay s'haskor the Storm commando.

Griffin ran over to him and knelt at his side, looking back at Lance and shook his head, The commando had died of severe bleeding.

"This is Eagle one, i need an Evac for a number of dead soldiers. My location. over"

"Roger that Eagle one, Transport is on the way stand by"

Griffin walked to the end of the Alley slinging his rifle across his shoulder. Down the street he saw the faint figure of a couple of AT ST's on Patrol. The Empire had a grasp of the city but it wouldnt be long before the Rebels tried to 'Liberate' it.

Moments later a Trast A-A5 Speeder truck appeared, out the back came four storm troopers who began stretchering the bodies into the 'Ambulance' the sergeant walked over to Griffin,

"Any idea on who sir?" He then asked

"No, None at all, who ever he is he's good. Better not be a blasted Jedi" Griffin Answered, removing his helmet and lighting up a cigar offering the Sergeant one, who great fully accepted

"We'd have troubles against a jedi i suppose, We havnt got any here, The General is in Dis array too" the sergeant chuckled

"He always is!" Griffin sighed

"Sir, Drink?" Wolf asked pointing over the cantina

"Why not" Griffin smirked making a drinking motion over to Lance and Tigs who nodded

Glantix saw Xeldor calling to Some Storm troopers. Tak made his entrance into the cantina and aimed his carbine.

This was not good. Tak couldn't see. He couldn't move. Xeldor. Xeldor did this. Glantix knew what happened. A cryoban grenade. He had to get out and get away from the planet before he was killed.
     Glantix's helmet prevented his head from being frozen. He activated his jet pack. he melted most of the ice and then then broke himself out. He knew that Xeldor's partner was going to kill him. He had to get out of the cantina...

Xeldor noticed that the man who raised the blaster was now trying to escape. His armor was fairly new, and almost completely electrical. Next, Xeldor threw a ION grenade at the man trying to escape the ice, causing all motions to stop. The armor would be heavy for him, especially without robotic support. He went over to the man trying to escape, and signaled to Griffin for help lifting him.
"This man should be arrested. He would have tried to kill you too; being the proximity that you were from me, when he raised the blaster. And his helmet's data before I fried said that he needed you dead anyway; so that's intended crimes against the Empire." Griffin must have been surprised that this "civillian" had been able to take care of a Hunter so quickly.
"Tell Sergeant Zahgis that you will have a new flank covered."

**ummmm........how do you know what was on his helmet data?**

Xeldor was standing at the rear entrance to the cantina, waiting for Zahgis to arrive. His helmet's thermal sensors were picking up a humanoid form moving towards him. Uriel stepped out of the shadows, holding a vibroblade.
"Nice to see you again, friend..." Xeldor spoke coldly to Uriel; keeping the threat hidden and subtle.
"Nothing was friendly on our last meeting; nor will this one be. The Moff will die tonight, and only I will collect the reward." He obviously didn't know about Xeldor's actions over the last 12 hours. "With your blood on my hands, none will be able to kill the Governor other than me." Uriel took several steps forward, slowly, menacingly. His arm drew back, about to slash at Xeldor's throat. Looking at Uriel's movements, Xeldor rolled behind Uriel, while the slash threw him off balance. Xeldor picked up his leg; and kicked Uriel in the back, and heard a few of Uriel's ribs cracking. Kreigan howled in pain, and turned, intent on killing Xeldor. He stabbed at Xeldor's stomach, but the mix of Clone and Mando armor simply made the blade bounce back. Xeldor grabbed Uriel's hand holding the blade, and twisted it until the wrist snapped. Uriel's hand went limp at his side, and with his other hand, he grabbed out another vibroblade. Xeldor pulled out his DC-17 pistol, and shot at Uriel's fett throwing him off balance again. He grabbed the blade on the ground that Uriel had dropped, and slashed it through his bicep, and cut the muscle. Uriel brought up his brocken hand, and punched Xeldor in the face. Xeldor fired another shot at Uriel, and hit his cut muscle. Uriel cried out again, and Lt. Griffin ran to the scene. He set his blaster on stun and shot Uriel.
"Leave him here Lieutenant. I have plans for him later that could help the Empire. Let's go." Griffin reluctantly followed Xeldor out of the alley, leaving Uriel unconscious.

Xeldor tried to get the fight with Uriel out of his mind. He couldn't stop thinking something had gone wrong. He knew Uriel would come back to kill him. He just didn't know when. Uriel would probably strike at Xeldor when he was at the cantina next, so he decided not to go there. The only other possible solution was Mon Mothma's appartment. That would be out of the frying pan, and into the fire.

Xeldor and Griffin kept on walking away from the scene, And an AT-ST stopped in front of them, and a service ladder descended to allow them in. Lt. Griffin walked to the pilots, and said something to them. The AT-ST began to head off towards the Imperial Fortress.

The AT-ST continued down its path; bystanders trying to scurry out of its way. One unluck bystander was squashed underneath, a sickening crunch was proof of his death. Xeldor knew if he was taken to the fortress, they would recognize the bounty.
"Lt. Griffin. I must depart. There are important matters that I must attend to." The lieutenant nodded, and the walker stopped. The ladder began to descend, and Xeldor quickly returned to the cantina. He needed to replan. Uriel was still laying unconscious behind the cantina. Xeldor picked him up, and took him to the nearest medcenter.

Xeldor was thinking hard. Ralin had betrayed him, and somehaow left the planet. "Curse that shabla nerf herder!" Xeldor figured that he could either kill the Governor himself, and collect from the Rebellion; or fake the death and recieve from both. There was a whine of an engine outside the cantina, apparently the Empire was stepping up protection after they had heard of Uriel's planned attack.
