Part 3
Hidden under the deck plating of the Centennial Kiwi, the group can hear the heavy boots of the Venan Stormtroopers as they examine the ship. After several minutes of fruitless searching, most of the soldiers leave. The terrified crew of the ship listen to the conversation between two of the soldiers that are left…
Stormtrooper 1: Well…it’s empty. I guess they ejected or something. Man, Darth Circus is gonna be pissed! He’s so mad that the rebels got those plans. He force choked like five people! At least we captured Princess Pau. It’s only a matter of time before we crush these rebels.
Stormtrooper2: Yup, she is totally captured in her cell. The one on subsection ten, down the platinum security corridor.
Stormtrooper1: That’s not too far from here, you only have to take the elevator up five floors and make your first right.
Stormtrooper2: Yeah, and if you make your first left, that’s where the tractor beam power core is, the one that if disabled would shut down the tractor beam for hours until it could be rebooted.
Stormtroopers: Man would Darth Circus be mad if that ever happened!
Stormtrooper2: He sure would be! I bet he would force choke like ten people! So…are you going to Kevin’s thing tonight? I’m thinking about it.
Stormtrooper1: I dunno man, Kevin is nice and all but ever since he went vegan…
Both Stormtroopers: It’s all he talks about!
Stormtrooper1: Ha! Exactly! Well I’ve been thinking about trying it. It might help my condition.
Stormtrooper2: What condition is that?
Stormtrooper1: I have a very sensitive spot on the back of my head, the slightest hit there will render me unconscious immediately. I wake up after several hours with no memory of what happened.
Stormtrooper2: Oh man, I have that exact same issue! If hypothetically, someone snuck up behind me and hit me on the back of the head I would hit the floor like a rock. I would be completely out for hours, enough time for them to, I dunno, take off my uniform, disguise themselves, and impersonate me for example. They wouldn’t have to have any fear that I would wake up and stop them or alert anyone.
Stormtrooper1: That is crazy! It’s really a small galaxy after all! What are the odds of the two of us with the same condition together here in this empty ship?
Stormtrooper2: Gotta be like a hundred million to one! Hey, want to stare quietly out the window for a while? Like, really direct all our attention there and kind of zone out mentally for a bit?
Stormtrooper1: Sounds good! I could really use some “me” time!
The two troopers stand quietly, staring out the front windows of the Centennial Kiwi, contemplating if they should attend Kevin’s party or not. Hans Dingo whispers quietly to the others.
Hans Dingo: Oi! Looks like we caught a break! You heard what he said, Smokes you want to do the honors kid?
Smokes: I’d be honored to!
Smokes quietly lifts the deck plate and very slowly climbs out. He places it back down so it doesn’t make a sound. He creeps over to the Stormtroopers and slowly reaches into his pocket and takes out a bag of roasted hazelnuts. He then taps one of the soldiers on the shoulder and offers them some of the tasty snack.
Stormtrooper1: What the hell…it’s the crew! Get them!
Hans Dingo and Treybacca race out from below the deck. A quick scuffle breaks out before Treybacca knocks out both the Stormtroopers with his massive strength. The crew stands over the unconscious bodies of the fallen Venan troops.
Hans Dingo: What the bloody heck kid?! Didn’t ya hear what they were saying?
Smokes: Yes, they were thinking about becoming vegetarian, that’s why I was offering them some hazelnuts, I thought they would be grateful and let us free. Isn’t that what you were hinting at?
JP: Geez…I said it before but, how the heck are you his son…
Treybacca: Raarrrrr! We really should have demanded payment up front.
LokePO: If anyone is interested, the odds of two Venan Stormtroopers with that particular condition being in the same place at the same time are one hundred million, one hundred and twenty thousand to one.
Smokes: Wow! That Stormtrooper was close! He said a hundred million to one!
Hans Dingo: Ah geez, I’ll yell at you later! Let’s get these uniforms on! I got a plan! If we rescue that princess I bet the rebels will pay handsomely!
JP: I’ll take down the tractor beam so you can escape. I sense a familiar presence aboard, Darth Circus is here…and he is really fit. He must work out like all the time!
Smokes: The one who killed my father?! Let me at him! I’ll make him choke on my hazelnuts!
JP: No young Smokes, you are no match for him, only a Jedi Master can deal with a Sith Lord. Let me handle him, you go help rescue the princess.
Smokes: Oh that’s right, a cute princess! Maybe I’ll get a kiss!
JP: Umm…yeah…about that…
Smokes: Yes JP?
JP: Ah never mind, what the hell, go for it!
Smokes and Hans wear the soldiers’ uniforms as a disguise, and lead Treybacca around the Dev Star to the cell block corridor where Princess Pau is being kept. They pretend that Treybacca is their prisoner and that they are bringing him to a cell. They part ways with JP Wan Konobi as he heads to the tractor beam power core. Hans Dingo and Smokes make it to the cell where the princess is being held. Smokes opens the door, the princess is sitting quietly in the corner, she appears to be asleep…
Smokes: Hey Princess, listen we’re here to…
With a quick motion, Princess Pau grabs Smokes and flips him over her shoulder! She rips off his helmet and starts to beat him with it! She grabs his weapon and points it at him! Smokes is now sobbing!
Princess Pau: All right Venan scum, this is the deal, you’re gonna lead me outta here or I’ll blow your head off!
Smokes: Oh God don’t hurt me, I’m just a hazelnut farmer! I’ll do anything, and I mean ANYTHING! We came to rescue you, honest!
Hans Dingo: Oi Smokes! Ya nut! Princess he’s with me, we’re not with the Empire! We came to save ya! I’m betting there’ll be quite a reward!
Princess Pau: Wonderful, a scruffy mercenary and a clueless nut farmer! I think my odds of survival just went down!
Hans Dingo: Ha! You’ve got some spunk princess, just like I do! Don’t go falling in love with me now!
Princess Pau: Yeah, I don’t think that will be an issue. I’m a princess, I don’t think I’ll fall for a dirty rouge who plays by his own rules and his hairy wookie sidekick!
Treybacca: Rarrggh!!! Ok, the hairy and wookie part are accurate, but sidekick? We are partners and best friends. Honestly, my feelings are a little hurt princess.
Princess Pau: I’m sorry, I’m a little emotional right now, you know with being captured and my home planet being destroyed. Cuz that’s where my old high school was. Oh, and my family.
Treybacca: Let’s agree that we are both upset right now and recognize that how we act at this moment is not an accurate representation of our personalities.
Princess Pau: Agreed! That’s a mature and wise outlook to have.
Princess Pau and Treybacca hug, each now having a newfound respect for the other.
Hans Dingo: The bloody hell! Can you believe this Smokes? Smokes?!
Smokes is still on the floor, drooling slightly. He slowly reaches into his pocket and takes out a few hazelnuts and eats them. His blood sugar raises a bit and shakes himself off and stands up.
Smokes: Golly gee Princess, you sure are strong! I thought you would need to be rescued but I see now I am the one that needs to be rescued. Rescued from my outdated stereotypes about women being helpless. I’m sorry and I hope to make it up to you with a more enlightened attitude towards not just you, but all females everywhere in the galaxy.
Princess Pau: You know Smokes, you are young but I can see you have the capacity to admit when you are wrong, and that shows wisdom and strength of character. Also, you are very slightly handsome!
Princess Pau and Smokes Nutwanker hug, each now having a newfound respect for the other.
Hans Dingo: The bloody hell…
LokePO: My goodness! The respect level has gone up by over 10% towards the Princess, Treybacca, and Smokes. Not towards you, however.
Hans Dingo: Geez, last time I try to rescue a bloody princess…All right let’s get out of here! Hopefully JP has deactivated that tractor beam. To the Kiwi mates!
The group race back to the Centennial Kiwi. They have all sorts of close calls and hilarious misunderstandings along the way as they evade and deal with the many Venan Stormtroopers. It would take too long to full recount their adventures here which is a shame because they were very entertaining. Meanwhile, JP Wan Konobi has made it to the tractor beam controls and deactivated them. An alarm goes off which attracts the attention of…
Darth Circus: You! What is that alarm going off?
Venan Stormtrooper: Oh, nothing big. Looks like the tractor beam was just disabled.
Darth Circus: The tractor beam was disabled…that’s pretty big!
Venan Stormtrooper: I know…I was just hoping if I played it off like it was nothing you wouldn’t force choke…Gargggg
The Venan Stormtrooper makes strange sounds as he is thoroughly force choked.
Darth Circus: Well, I wanted to get some more leg reps in before lunch, guess I’ll sprint over to the tractor beam controls.
Hans Dingo and his crew are quickly moving down a corridor. They turn the corner and down the passageway they see the tractor beam control entranceway just as JP Wan Konobi is exiting. Smokes is about to call out to him when Darth Circus appears! JP uses the force and sends a message to Smokes!
JP: Smokes…get to the ship, I will hold him off. Please, you must get the princess to safety. The fate of the galaxy rests with you! Also, remember to snack now and then, it really helps you focus! Always have some hazelnuts with you. Or protein bars are good too, just try not to get one with too much added sugars!
Darth Circus: Yes, watch your sugar! It may give you energy at first but you will crash later!
JP: Do you mind? I’m talking to someone here!
Darth Circus: Sorry, I just wish someone had told me about the sugar thing earlier.
JP stops using the force communication and turns to face Darth Circus.
Darth Circus: Well well well, JP Wan, my old teacher…we meet again.
JP: Hello, my old student. I have to say you are really fit. I mean I’m disappointed you turned to the dark side and have killed billions of people and unleashed suffering the likes of which the galaxy has never seen before but Damn, credit where credit is due. You are in great shape!
Darth Circus: Thanks, the key is focus and motivation. Find something that works and stick with it. Now…prepare to die!
The former mentor and student start to dual with their lightsabers. Whooom whooom! Hans Dingo and the others sprint back to their ship as the battle continues. The Venan Stormtroopers all race to watch and cheer on their leader. Within seconds, the battle is being streamed on several large view screens all over the Dev Star!
Darth Circus: Not bad for an old fool, I see you have kept up your training!
JP: Well, some of those Russian brides would try to steal my wallet, I had to stay active!
Darth Circus: It won’t help you now, the dark side is stronger.
JP: Please, strike me down and I will be more powerful than you can possible imagine.
Darth Circus: Wait, really? Like how powerful? Like will you get some cool new powers or something?
JP: Yes, I will merge with the force itself!
Darth Circus: Damn…so would you be like super powerful and invincible? Like practically speaking how would this newfound power manifest itself?
JP: Well, I would be able to appear as a force ghost to people.
Darth Circus: And…you could like kill them or whatever?
JP: I could offer them advice and tell them things. Like maybe things I should have told them earlier, like who they are related to for example.
Darth Circus: But…no new killing powers?
JP: Oh heavens no, a Jedi master would never use the force like that!
Darth Circus: Excellent! Thanks for the info!
Darth Circus does a quick slash attack with his lightsaber and chops off JP Wan’s arm! Blood gushes out everywhere. Smokes, the Princess and the others watching on the view screens can only watch in horror!
JP: OWWW! Oh sweet baby Jesus that hurts! Oh my stars this is the most pain I’ve ever had!
Darth Circus: Wait…what about that becoming one with the force thing?
JP: Hold on I wasn’t ready…ow…oh man…ok try to hit me again, I’ll get it this time!
Darth Circus attacks again, this time chopping off JP’s foot! More blood spurts everywhere. JP hops around on his other foot.
JP: What the hell man, who cuts off someone’s foot! I thought you were gonna go for my other arm!
Darth Circus: Oh, I’m sorry man. I didn’t know what you wanted me to do. Look, I’m gonna go right for your chest now, that cool?
JP: Yes, aim right for my chest, right there, where I’m pointing.
Darth Circus: Ok, you ready?
JP: God yes, go already, I’m passing out here!
Darth Circus: Ok, here I go!
Darth Circus attacks with his lightsaber. JP closes his eyes and finally merges with the force. He disappears! His robe and lightsaber fall to the floor. But just his robe and weapon, not his underwear or socks or sandals. Or his wallet. So just to be clear, JP disappears as he merges with the force, leaving only his robe and lightsaber behind, for some reason. Darth Circus steps over JP’s robe and raises his hands in the air!
Darth Circus: Who’s the man?! Oh yeah! Schools out, baby!
Venan Stormtrooper: School’s out?
Darth Circus: Yeah, schools out, cuz he was my teacher? And I just killed him?
Venan Stormtrooper: Oh school’s out, oh…I get it, I guess. Oh no, wait, please don’t force choke me it was a good joke, I just Gargggg!
Darth Circus steps over the body of the Stormtrooper. He seems to enjoy stepping over bodies, he feels it makes him look extra cool, and he’s totally right. He turns towards the Centennial Kiwi and begins to walk towards it! Smokes is in shock after seeing the death of JP, and Hans and Treybacca have to grab him and shove him into the ship. Hans fires up the engines and the ship raises. Princess Pau sees Darth Circus through the window and she sticks her tongue out at him just as the ship flies off. Our heroes have escaped!
