Star Wars : The New Sith Crisis

Payback ( evil grin )

R4 dragged Rorn to the ship's tiny quarters and gave him what medical assistancee was needed, his mechno limbs working furiously . As he worked his internal sensors went off, someone was behind him . His dome head spun, and one of his tentacle arms shifted to its weapon mode, a blaster now aimed at Ari .

Ari froze , her hands shooting skyward . "wha's go'n on . Wha hapnd to hm . E looks huht ." R4 aimed the blaster between her eyes and said ," Back up, and sit on the restrainer chair ." Ari glanced at the chair and back at the surly droid and demanded ," Why ? Thut there char dun look tu cumfi ." R4 raised the weapon, its power pack already stuttering with a low charge . " Because if you don't, I shall be forced to shoot you ." Ari gulped and plopped into the chair ," K, k, I dun ut ." R4 inserted his computer over-ride tool into a socket and worked for an instant . Suddenly, steel and rubber binders shot out of the chair's arms, back and legs, quite effectively imobilizing a bewildered Ari . " Thet huhts, tak it oof ." She yelled, as R4 went back to Rorn .

Dagmar sat back and laughed . This universe was rich indeed, and all of its wealth was becoming his . As his ship rocketed through hyper space, Dagmar sudden'y felt a familiar Force presence , that of that fool girl Ari, the one who had rejected the Dark Side for , what was it ? Happiness, laughter ? Rubbish, Damgar thought, he was plenty happy, and as for laughter ? He laughed every time he sent another sentient being to its doom . Quickly, Dagmar pulled back on the lever controling his engines and the ship dropped out of hyper-space beside a small craft bearing Republic colors . Immediately, he maneuvered it along side and docked with it .

Ari screamed in fear , Dagmar was here . R4 didn't look up from his medical work even as Dagmar's crimson blade launched into his dome head . ' Ya keeled 'im !" Ari cried indigantly, even as she could feel the Force manifesting itself inside her, it had been almost an entire day since she had hurt Rorn, and she was going back into super-jedi mode . Straining in the Force, her bonds snapped, as Dagmar realized what was going on . " Impossible, I screwed up you head so bad that you shouldn't even be able to think ." he shouted, bringing his saber to bear on the angry Ari . Ari flushed and her lightsaber flew to her hand ." I wondered how that happened ." she said calmly, yet with an edge to her voice and lunged forward, slapping her lightsaber against Dagmar's . Dagmar sent out a blast of lightning and gasped as Ari easily countered it with her lightsaber . A green blade sprang into existence as a lightsaber hilt jetted from the cockpit area and into Ari's left hand . The two lightsabers whirled around Dagmar, forcing him back into the air-lock and into his own ship . As Ari slammed the hatch closed, Dagmar took the oppurtunity to Force-throw a packing case at her head from behind . He did'nt hear it strike her head or her slump unconsious, he only heard himself leaping into his pilot's seat and launching into hyperspace . Ari was unconsious but even as she lay there, Rorn awoke from his healing trance and walked into the lounge area, still wincing from his wounds . He gasped as he saw Dagmar's ship flash into hyperspace, and Ari laying there , R4 near her, his domehead, completely sliced off . Gathering the Force around Ari, Rorn levitated her into the quarters and lay her on the bed, administering a bacta patch to her head . Walking out, Rorn saw the battered droid shell, and turned back, snatching Ari's lightsaber . As an afterthought, he locked the room's hatch .
