About this creation

(Coruscant Streets, one day after the events of Chapter 1)

Agent Iso: I've been at the arrest of some of the most notorious criminals in the galaxy, I've fought with everything from a handful of thugs to a pair of rancors and not even broken a sweat but putting up with HIM must be my hardest mission yet. I've been charged with taking Mr. Fitze formally Director Fitze of Republic Intelligence to his trial for his part in the conspiracy to kill Senator Ralone of Nar Shadda along with bounty hunter Drev Av'tem. He's apparently decided to trade "vital information" for a shorter prison sentence. As if his constant blabbering wasn't bad enough I can't shake this bad feeling about this "simple walk". I'm keeping my eyes peeled and blaster charged. End log.

Major Kalin- Home Base to Escort 1, Escort 1 do you read over?

Agent Iso- I read you Major, we are on the way to the Judicial Building right now.

Kalin- Good work Iso, just make sure the "package" gets to the Judge safe and sound, over.

Fitze- You know I think this all is just a bit excessive, all the code names and what not, all I did-

(Iso holds up her hand and stops the party abruptly scanning the area)

Fitze- What's the matter now-

Iso- Shhhh! Something feels...strange.

Fitze- Oh please! Don't tell me you're a Jedi now! I tell you-

(Suddenly a bomb explodes next to the satellite dish on the building above the party)

Iso- Everyone take cover!

(In the Republic Intelligence monitoring room Major Kalin looks nervously at the computer screen as his headset suddenly turns to static)

Kalin- Iso? Iso! Ben what's going on down there?

Ben- I'm not sure sir...Instruments seem to be picking up an explosion of some sort.

Kalin- Get our communications back up! Agent Iso do you read me, over?

Iso- I read you sir.

Kalin- What's the situation there?

Iso- Well we have a burning hunk of metal in our way and a bunch of screaming civilians but otherwise we're fine.

Fitze- So much for security! Here I thought my training would have prepared you for simple prisoner transport!

(Suddenly a gunshot rings through the crowd killing one of the escorts)

Iso- Everyone get down!

(On a high-rise the Mandalorian Xeno Tadok takes aim)

Xeno- Ha! Ha! Easier than hunting wamp rats!

(The Monitoring Room)

Ben- Sir, I'm picking up what sounds like gunshots!

Kalin- That's it, get me the Coruscant Guard and anyone else you can find! I'm not taking any more chances with this one!

Fitze- Fine situation we have here! Republic-

Iso- Will you be quite! I'm trying to protect you here! Just stay down and be silent!

(Xeno flys down landing right in front of Iso and Fitze)

Xeno- Hmm, it seems I missed one, perhaps this mission will be less boring than I thought.

Iso- In the name Republic Intelligence stand down assassin!

Xeno- Ha! Not quite I've been looking forward to battling a Republic Intelligence Agent and you provide the perfect opportunity!

(Xeno takes of, using his jetpack to evade Iso's shots)

(The Mandalorian easily scales the building's wall trading shots with Iso)

(Xeno lands as Iso presses her pistol to his neck)

Iso- It's over! You're under arrest!

Xeno- Ha! You are well trained, but not quite enough.

Iso- Wh-

(A rifle suddenly smacks against Iso's head, and her vision goes dark)

(Meanwhile in a Republic Prison)

Drev Av'tem- I hate this place! He promised me everything would be fine! That I'd be well rewarded for my services! And all because of those Jedi, I'm stuck in this blasted prison!

Smuggler- That's tough man, but hey you tried to kill that Senator, all I did was run some spice! Hey you gonna eat that?

(Drev tosses his food at the smuggler and disgustedly walks over to the guard)

Drev- What trash! When am I gettin out of here?

Guard- Today Mr. Av'tem.

(Drev looks in surprise at the guard before recognizing him as an agent of Crimelord Victor Terronzi)

Drev- Ah, I see, I knew Victor wouldn't-

Clone- Halt prisoner!

(A clone guard marches up to the criminals)

Clone- Hey, is this scum bothering you, Officer.... Wait, where's your identification badge?

(Drev and the agent nod at each other)

Guard- Oh, let me get it right here-

(Drev throws a knife at the clone as the agent blasts the witnesses)

(The corrupt guard then shoots out the window)

Drev- What now?

Guard- I have a speeder waiting right out this window, we only need to pick up Mr. Fitze and then we're off.

Fitze- Well done Tadok, you were well worth the extra cost, I must say.

Xeno- Victor takes care of his friends Mr. Fitze, now we only need to wait for our transportation.

Kalin- Freeze! Stop right there Mandalorian!

(Kalin and two clones accompanied by Jedi Master Boris Yakerno march in)

Fitze- Oh, Master Boris! Thank the Force you've arrived! This man was ready to kill me!

Kalin- Don't bother with the sweet talk Fitze, you've been caught in the act of trying to escape custody, its full prison time for you now!

Boris- Lucky I was here, it looks like your hunch was right Major I recognize that Mandalorian from Nar Shadda!

Xeno- Master Jedi, so we meet once again! Take Fitze if you wish, but I have been eagerly awaiting our rematch!

(Boris rushes at the Mandalorian who takes off with his jetpack)

(The two reach the rooftops as Xeno opens fire)

(Boris deflects the blast as Xeno flys in)

Xeno- Avoid and evade, come Jedi, attack! Use the force!

(Summoning the force Boris leaps at Xeno)

(Quickly grabbing onto the antenna Boris swings around, force kicking Xeno off his perch)

(Scrambling to activate his jetpack Xeno barely manages to grasp onto a railing)

Boris- How is that for force Mandalorian? You may have had backup on Nar Shadda but now the tables are more in my favor!

Xeno- So it seems. You fight with much vigor Master Jedi, you are a worthy opponent, however, you have still lost!

(Xeno simply jerks his head right grinning at the confused Jedi Master)

(Out of nowhere the criminal's speeder swoops in with Boris barely having time to block Drev's blaster shots)

(The speeder lands forcing the clones and Kalin to scatter for cover)

Fitze- Took you long enough!

Guard- Just get in, we need to leave now!

(Xeno jumps down onto the speeder as the clones take passing potshots at it)

Xeno- Farewell Master Boris! Perhaps we may continue our battle at a different time! Ha! Ha! Ha!

(Boris leaps down to the Intelligence Agents as the criminals fly off and Agent Iso struggles to her feet)

Iso- Ugh, my head. What happened?

(Sighing Kalin turns to his agent)

Kalin- It seems our wily Mr. Fitze has just escaped, and with Drev Av'tem too! This whole judicial appeal was just a big set up from the start! They're as good as at Nar Shadda by this point.

Boris- You did a good job Iso, none of us could have predicted this would happen. What I want to know is how they knew about the transfer this mission was supposed to be top secret!

Kalin- Whatever happened, they're gone now and all we can do is wait for their next move.
