The shadowed figure holstered his figure and walker out of the room through a side door. “His Lordship likes your style, you’ve got spunk boy.” translated the droid. “Intran fagna len pa dintani, duo the hisna inla du pinsa.” Kerath replied in a calm voice. “If you can complete two tests Kerath may give you a job, go through that door there.” The droid pointed to a door on the other side the room, “beware, this is your last chance to back down.” “No, see you later Kerath.” And within a few seconds Abeo had passed through the door. Pantene who had been watching walked up to Kerath. “This one is strong Kerath, is it wise to do this?” Pantene asked “Bena gonta fonska gen poovfe.” Kerath replied “I must agree with you Kerath.” Pantene then replied Abeo was calm; he paced the ground until he reached a narrow beam of light across the hallway, he stopped. “Ha, I’m not that easy Kerath,” he said to himself He walked through the beam of light, nothing happened, he carried on walking until, ‘CLICK’, Abeo didn’t move. He was standing on something, possibly a mine, he had to be careful, one false move and… The it struck him; he picked up a fairly large rock and carefully moved it towards his foot, kneeling down he prepared, foot ready, rock ready, and… ‘tut’. “Few, close call.” he spoke to himself “Ahh!” cried the guards sighing. “Benga henis fonee.” Kerath spoke “Yes, he is smart, but there’s still one more test.” Pantene replied. Abeo approached a jarred door made of Juns, “Boy Kerath sure likes Juns.” Abeo sighed. He slid through not being able to fully open the door, and boy was he close. The entire room was mazed with spikes and other contraptions that would definitely hurt. And across the room, no more than that mysterious figure from the Great Hall. “Boba Fett?” “That’s right.” Fett replied, “That’s me.” “I fought you were dead, when Jabba died you fell into the Sarlac pit.” “I did, but my armour kept me alive, and I soon blasted my way out of that, thing.” “But, why are you here.” “Unimportant, but if you must know, I’ve come to regain my reputation and eliminate my trophy prize.” “Who?” “That’s for me to know, but, it seems I’ll have to deal with you first of all, a small test.” And after saying this Fett’s Jetpack ignited and he soared into the air. Suddenly Abeo was being shot at with dual blasters at an alarming rate; fortunately he was able to dodge most of the blaster fire until Fett came down to Abeo’s side of the room, and the battle commenced. Fett redrew his blasters only to have them knocked out of his hands by Abeo and his quick hands, Abeo then spun around as quick as light kicking Fett hard in his visor-helmet and blinding his view then, Abeo kicked into the air a large pole a grabbed it from midair, he spun around once more the opposite way and, ‘Crash’. It went right into the back of Fett’s Jetpack, seconds later he had lost control and was soaring up into the sky until he smashed through the glass roof of the room and out of sight. Abeo sighed a sigh of relief, “That was close,” he said to himself. “Dueo phoe paney henali buda forca?” Kerath asked Pantene “I don’t know my Lordship” Pantene replied “Menare done the goe!” “Yes my Lordship, I will ask him” Abeo was stuck in the room until he noticed a large metal pipe that stretched from on side of the room to the other, and to the exit. Abeo noticed that the walls of the room were jagged and rough, and could be climbed up. He walked up to the wall and started to climb, he climbed until he reached the top and was in line with the metal bar, which unfortunately was behind him, he, making sure not to fall, turned round so he was facing the metal bar ready to jump, he would only get one chance at this. Ready to jump and, push, he jumped and just grabbed the metal bar, though unstable he slowly slid across until he reached the other side of the room and climbed down the jagged wall. “Excellent,” Pantene shouted as he walked up to Abeo, “absolutely perfect, and the fact you defeated Boba Fett himself, a great bonus for you and..” “Junta..” Kerath interrupted “Phooey don ouey penta linare, tuner simper forca?” “Tell his Lordship, do you still want this job.” the droid translated. “Yes, of course.” Abeo shouted. “Phooye yintun Junstar il elle dans les hentaniaar.” “His Lordship Kerath has decided to accept your request for a position in his ranks.” the droid translated “Junti alle yune the runina kaka Coruscent perua pon lenta paeruni Ossus.” “Kerath will give you a ship and request for you to deliver a shipment to Coruscent.” the droid translated, “I thought it had something to do with Coruscent.” Abeo grumbled to himself. “The shipment must be delivered to Coruscent by the turn of the month and can be picked up from the planet of Ossus, look for man called Stryk, he is a Suble-Hutt, and he owns a bar in the city of Ossus Prime, it will be easy for you to find.” the Droid continued. “I will come with you on the shipment run, show you the ropes so to say, and give you some advice, Lord Kerath has said you can have any ship you want from his Store of about five thousands, I’ll show you them now. Get your stuff from my ship and meet me in Cargo bay 24 at midday, I’ll show you all the ships you want.” Next: The Cargo Bay
