INTERIOR: DEATH STAR -- HALLWAY LEADING TO MAIN FORWARD BAY.
Ben hurries along one of the tunnels leading to the hangar
where the pirateship waits. Just before he reaches the hangar,
Darth Vader steps into view at the end of the tunnel, not ten
feet away. Vader lights his saber. Ben also ignites his and
steps slowly forward.
VADER: I've been waiting for you, Obi-Wan. We meet again, at last.template is now complete.
Ben Kenobi moves with elegant ease into a classical
offensive position. The fearsome Dark Knight takes a defensive
stance.
VADER: When I left you, I was but a novice combat prowess; now I am the master.
BEN: Only a master of power, Darth, they're all borked!
The two Galactic warriors stand perfectly still for a few
moments, sizing each other up and waiting for the right
moment. Ben seems to be under increasing pressure and strain,
as if an invisible weight were being placed upon him. He
shakes his head and, blinking, tries to clear his eyes.
Ben makes a sudden lunge at the huge warrior but is checked
by a lightning movement of The Sith. A masterful slash stroke
by Vader is blocked by the old Jedi. Another of the Jedi's
blows is blocked, then countered. Ben moves around the Dark
Lord and starts backing into the massive starship hangar. The
two powerful warriors stand motionless for a few moments with
laser swords locked in mid-air, creating a low buzzing sound.
VADER: Your powers are weak, old man.
BEN: You can't win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall clone and come more
buffedthan you can possibly imagine... And besides I never trained the powers tree !
Their lightsabers continue to meet in combat.
~ The Overt Rebels flee to the Falcon
Vader
takes advantage of Ben's momentary distraction and brings his
mighty lightsaber down on the old man. Ben manages to deflect
the blow and swiftly turns around.
The old Jedi Knight looks over his shoulder at Luke, lifts
his sword from Vader's then watches his opponent with a serene
look on his face.
A small (LD) appears above Ben's head as Vader quickly changes Sabres a couple of times...
Vader brings his sword down, cutting old Ben in half. Ben's
cloak falls to the floor in two parts, but Ben is not in it.
Vader is puzzled at Ben's disappearance and pokes at the empty
cloak. As the guards are distracted, the adventurers and the
robots reach the starship. Luke sees Ben cut in two and starts
for him. Aghast, he yells out. "EXPLOITER !!!!!!!!!!"
INTERIOR: TATOOINE -- MOS EISLEY -- CANTINA.
Strange creatures play exotic big band music on odd-looking instruments as Luke, still giddy, downs a fresh drink and
follows Ben and Chewbacca to a booth where Han Solo is sitting. Han is a tough, roguish starpilot about thirty years
old. A mercenary on a starship, he is simple, sentimental, and cocksure.
HAN: Han Solo. I'm captain of the Millennium Falcon. Chewie here tells
me you're looking for passage to the Alderaan system.
BEN: Yes, indeed. If it's a fast ship.
HAN: Fast ship? You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon? It's 100% shipwright crafted!
BEN: Should I have?
HAN: It's the ship that made the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs! Using NO exploits!
Ben reacts to Solo's stupid attempt to impress them with obvious misinformation.
HAN: (continued) I've outrun Imperial starships, not the local bulk-cruisers, mind you. I'm talking about the big Corellian ships, even uber player ships! She's fast enough for you, old man. What's the cargo?
BEN: Only passengers. Myself, the boy, two droids, and no questions asked.
HAN: What is it? You guys are dupers?
BEN: Let's just say we'd like to avoid any Imperial entanglements. We're -5000 Faction and both suject to XP loss!
HAN: Well, that's the trick, isn't it? And it's going to cost you something extra. Ten thousand in advance.
LUKE: Ten thousand? We could almost buy our own ship for that! Or get buffed and grind the Squill caves for two hours!
HAN: But who'scertified for multi-player ships, kid! You?
LUKE: . We don't have to sit here and listen... Are there any Master Docs here?
BEN: Wejust bought uber buffs. But we could pay you two thousand now, plus fifteen when we reach Alderaan.
HAN: Seventeen, huh!
Han ponders this for a few moments.
HAN: Okay. You guys got yourself a ship. We'll leave as soon as you're ready. Docking bay Ninety-four.
BEN: Ninety-four.
HAN: Looks like somebody's beginning to take an interest in your handiwork.
Ben and Luke turn around to see four Imperial stormtroopers looking at the dead bodies and asking the bartenders some
questions. The bartender points to the booth.
TROOPER: All right, we'll check it out.
The stormtroopers look over at the booth but Luke and Ben are gone. The bartender shrugs his shoulders in puzzlement.
HAN: Seventeen thousand! I'll be able to afford a 2500+ 3hr 15 min buff! This
could really allow me to finish grinding Smuggler. Get back to the ship and get her ready.
