"Hi. I don't know, but if you are really that bored I guess I will."
EDP looks at Bouncy as if she's a little light in the headed department. "Ok, when you find the exit sign, you lemme know, kay?" she snarls. She doesn’t like admitting when she is scared, so she takes it out on Bouncy, who is too scared to notice.
"Master KC brought some guy in to help us..." EDP whispers, feeling along the walls for a way to escape. "Hope he helps us quick...."
"DANG IT Wildshadow!!!" EPD shouts suddenly into Wildshadow’s head. "Make yourself useful and sneak into Master KC's office while she ain’t here!!! Gotta find the storage cases of Mountain Dew and send them to us via magic!!!! You're our only hope!!!!"
"Huh?" Wildshadow says out loud. 'Did I really here that?', she thinks in her head. EDP says it again. and Wildshadow says to her, not knowing how because some how her magic is a little messed up at the moment, "So where is her office? And then I’ll try to send it."
Peace looks at Kc worriedly. "You look tired, rest a few moments. Did you find out where they are?"
EDP gives Wildshadow the directions to her master's room, and suddenly her concentration breaks. In the darkness of their tiny prison stands a shadowy figure. EDP and Bouncy scrunch together back to back and scream as the hands reach for them.
EDP is able to get off two thoughts before the world goes black again:
"Corwan, HELP!!!!!!"
and,
"Dont you DARE forget that Mounatin DEW!!!!!!!"
Bouncy blinks, and suddenly she isn't in the room with EDP any more. She looks around, but the small room appears empty, and she can see no doors or windows. "Hello. . . ?" she calls, then quickly tries the water trick, splashing a Water Beam on the floor. She doesn't collapse again, but does find out something very interesting: apparently the water doesn't even know where she is. "That's a bad sign, she mutters, then suddenly she can feel the evil presence again. "This is not a good thing," she whimpers
Peace turns toward the door. "I am going to see if I can find Stacy." He leaves and starts galloping down the corridor, searching for the shadowy pony.
She happens by the room where she was training her Padawan. She looks in and sees no one. She curiously walks toward where she left her apprentice.
A lightsaber lays on the floor.
"Oh... no.... Becky......"
EDP wakes up in a liquid suspension chamber. She doesn’t panic, though, since she spends free time in suspension chambers on weekends. Its just that they are usually filled with mountain dew....
The room surrounding the chamber is nothing but a dark blur. EDP wonders what happened to that poor little Bouncy character, admitting grudgingly to herself that she was beginning to like the little punk. Anyone who loved Mountain Dew and chocolate pudding like she did couldn’t be THAT bad.....
EDP closes her eyes and tries to seek out the little trainee. The suspension liquid is too thick.... she cant sense Bouncy, Wildshadow, or Corwin.... a dark sense of despair begins pushing into her mind. How she hated to be alone.....
"Man!" Wildshadow says to no one in paticular, "I'm getting so bord! I think my powers are going to fade away!"
And in her head trying to get a hold of EDP 'where are you?!?!? I feel you but very very faintly!' She thinks it but she knows it's not getting through very well. and she is sad.
Bouncy stares around the room, still unsure of her surroundings. The evil presence is still strong, and she hears a faint voice at the back of her mind, but it quickly disappears.
She decides to sit, then conjures a glass of water. "Doesn't taste as good," she mutters, then hears someone talk to her.
"I'm glad you could drop in."
"I didn't drop in," she says angrily. "I didn't have any choice about the matter!"
The voice laughs, and the evil presence and the laugh fade together. "Weird," she mutters.
Then wildshadow thinks maybe if she goes and gets the mountain dew for EDP, and try very hard to use her magic to send it, then EDP's power or something will come back and she can tell wildshadow what is up.
Bouncy starts to get bored sitting all by herself in the tiny room. She calls, "Hello!? Can anyone hear me!? Hello-o!" No one responds. *Maybe I can try to use the Force,* she thinks, and tries to telepath to EDP. *EDP - are you okay? Where are you?*
Floating in blissful nothingness, EDP starts to loose her marbles.....
Through the delightful mindless hum, though, she thinks she hears the voices of her friends, and screws her eyes shut tight and listens hard.
"Bouncy..... is.... mountain dew..... send it..... bored...... help..... "
EDP sucks in suspension liquid as she laughs at the nonsense, and almost gets sick. COCA COLA as suspension liquid? Oh, cruel, cruel Sith!!!!!!!
Bouncy hears EDP respond, then telepaths back, confused. *EDP, are you okay? You don't sound that good.* Thinking of something, she tries to focus on where EDP is, then conjures a Water Bubble around her. *Maybe that'll help,* she thinks. *And what was that about a Sith? Could this be related to Darth Maul's disappearance?*
She looks up quickly from her thoughts to see a red and black pony dressed in a black cape, just before she faints.
Wildshadow is trying to get to EDP's master's room to get some MD but for the moment there are too many ponies around. But in a few minutes she'll be probably be able to. And she hope's it isn't too late and also hopes her magic will work for her.
Lady Maul: I walk into the room where Peace is looking for me. "Peace I heard your were looking for me what do you want?”
Darth Maul walks into the room where he’s keeping EDP in a tube of Coca cola-. "Time to change your soup"
He drains all of the coca cola out and replaces it with Caffeine free mountain dew. He walks away.
Kc wakes quickly from a nap she'd taken to restore her strength against her will she'd fallen into a deep sleep, and a tremor on the Force wakes her quickly. She sits up, blinks and looks around the room. There’s another pony in her room!
" Hey, who’s that? What are you doing with that Mountain Dew, that’s for my Padawan... " The figure makes to run but Kc leaps up shuts the door out and turns on the light, " Wildshadow? Why are you taking my Mountain Dew? "
Wildshadow looks a bit nervous, " For EDP! "
Kc goes nuts, " You know where she is?!?! TELL ME NOW. " She advances on Wildshadow.
" Easy, easy. I dunno where she is but I’m trying to somehow send this MD to her with my powers. " Kc collapses again on her bed.
" Oh, sorry. " She murmurs half-heartedly. " Go ahead. Tell her I say Hi. " Kc stumbles out of the room Corwin is sitting Indian style in the middle of the room with his eyes closed. " Trying to get EDP? Lemme try I feel better. Where’s Peace? "
" Ok, I dunno she’s looking for Stacey I guess. "
" Ok. I’ll try with EDP again. If it doesn’t work I’ll try with Bouncy. "
" Ok, but they’re not together anymore! "
" What? "
" They're separated. I can feel it and something dark keeps menacing them.. "
" We gotta find them QUICK! " Kc sits down to try again to contact them, when Peace bangs in.
" They.. " she’s puffing. " They got Becka! "
" NO! " Kc moans in despair. Another padawan missing.
" What are we gonna do? " Peace is on the brink of tears.
" Rest now, I’ll try to contact them u need your strength. "
" But I gotta find her! "
" Come on, take a nap. " Peace crumbles and lets her self be led to a bed and she falls onto it and sleeps quickly. Ok, now to tend to EDP. " EDP... Can you hear me? WHERE ARE YOU tell me the planet's name! "
The discontent EDP felt turns into sheer panic.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" she wails through the vile caffeine free fluid. It seeps into her lungs. The pure Mountain Dew that runs in her veins is being tainted. "HEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screams in her head, not even sure anyone would hear here. "Please!!"
Wildshadow is walking with the MD trying to find a place to try to concentrate on sending it when all of a sudden she here's this scream. "S**T!" , Wildshadow says, dropping the MD and holding her head because it was so loud.
" EVIL DEAD PONY! " Kc screeches in her mind " WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO YOU?!??!!?!?!?! " SITH SPIT she thinks to herself. Corwin comes over, sits down and also links in the mind convo.
" EDP? Its Corwin.. What’s wrong? "
" EDP! Its me Master Kc, what horrible things are they doing to you??!!?! "
EDP peels her eyes open, and the decaffeinated poison burns them. "Master?!" She hears a second voice, a young man's voice. Corwin..... Master Kc's son!!
"Poison....powers getting weaker..... can’t take much more of the poison!!!!!"
" Evil Dead Pony! We're doing our best!!!! Hang in there! " Kc shouts in her mind.
" Hang in there EDP! " Corwin’s concern leaks in his voice. A faint response..
" I’ll try.. poison.. " Kcs' eyes glare determinedly.
" I’m contacting Bouncy now! " Corwin nods and says he'll try Becka. Kc starts,
" Bouncy? " Corwan tries with Becka
" Becka? this is Corwan im a Jedi Knight and son of Obi-Wan and Kc.. You out there? "
The poison caffeine free mountain dew would eventually dissolve her soul... and she would be forced out of the world of the living and back into the demon world! EDP thinks that she will actually miss some of these living creatures, but mostly thinks she will miss the pudding......
With the last spark of energy she has, she screams in her mind:
"WILDSHADOW WHERE THE HELL IS MY MOUNTAIN DEW?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?"
Wildshadow had to rest for minute for the pounding in her head. then she felt her friend getting weaker! she searched real hard for her power but it's taking awhile. and wildshadow is kind of getting panic-y. then EDP's voice was getting strained so wildshadow was concentrating real hard and she suddenly had opened a small portal that would only let the MD through. she was wondering how that happened but there was no time for that, so she put it through. she almost got sucked into it but she held fast. But some of decaffeinated MD came out.
There is a 12 pack of mountain dew floating in front of EDP's eyes. She stares at it vaguely, searching fading consciousness to be able to identify it. The cardboard of the box begins dissolving, and cans float out into the suspension. A light bulb snaps on in her head. Good ole Wildshadow!!!! She takes a can and brings it close, knowing that some poison will get mixed in with the good pure stuff. But there is nothing she can do about that. She pops the top, and sucks the first can down.
Feeling a little better, she pops a 2nd.
And a third.
A fourth.
The whole case is gone and she is working on the second. Power races through her veins again and rage races with it. Damn the Sith!!! Her body begins to glow, and the intensity soars until the chamber glass shatters outward. EDP spills out of the chamber along with all the poison Mountain Dew. She lies on the floor, exhausted....
Lady Maul: My apprentice and I are walking along a dark hallway in the Jedi temple. Out of the corner of my eye I glimpse I the swirl of a dark cape.
"Look Out!" I cry.
Too late. Darth Maul has her.
"You hurt her and you have to deal with me"
"Stacey?" his grip loosens but he doesn’t release her.
He looks at me and informs me" you’re a prisoner now"
"Fine"
He puts Jd to sleep and we leave the temple dragging her behind us.
Lady Maul: I turn to Darth Maul.
"I want top see them"
"Who?" he asks.
"You know"
"Sure" He finally agrees
He brings me to the cell where they’re keeping EDP.
She’s sprawled on the floor gasping for air. I throw a bucket of water on her. She comes to complete consciousness. I leave.
EDP coughs the decaffeinated dew out of her lungs and glances up, death in her eyes, at where Lady Maul had stood. "Thanks for nothing," she growls. She pushes herself to her feet and her mind screams to every pony she knows.
"MASTER!! CORWIN!! BOUNCY!! WILDSHADOW!!" her mind yelps. "LADY MAUL IS A PART OF THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
EDP experienced a feeling she never knew before. She felt betrayed....
::beepbeepbeep:: "5 more minutes mom!" Starstalker rolls over and smacks her head off of a table "OUCH!" -rubs head- "Where the ::bleep:: am I?!" "Master Stacey? KC? Anyone?! HELP!" Starstalker searches for a way out of this room-with no luck.
EDP's ears perk. Another victim? Her mind lashes out at her. "Hey Starstalker how the hell are ya?"
"Hi EDP! I'm just GREAT stuck here in this room.....And you?? Where are you?! How'd I get here??...I just remember...being with Master....then she said "Watch out!" and the I got knocked out..."
EDP shrugs, sniffing around her room, trying to find the way Lady Maul and her Lord must have used to get in and out. "We've been kidnapped," she informs Starstalker. "Darth Maul is ready for a party I guess." She finds the door and kicks it. Hah. No such luck. "Where are you, Master? Do something......."
Starstalker: "I'm getting pissed. SOMEONE get me out of here, I don't have a brush and my MANE is messed up, to say nothing about my tail....(hehe). And I’m THIRSTY I need some.. Water at least! All I see in here is some books...I wonder when Darth Maul has time to read? haha...Hmm..."
" EDP Where are you, what’s the Planet's name?!? Tell me and I can try.. Stacey.. She’s.. in this.. No! . . . . . . . Oh well I need to put aside the past and work toward the future. Tell me the planet's name Corwin is working on getting Bouncy. He’s been awfully silent I think he may have her. . . . JD Starstalker can you link into her mind and speak to her? Tell me how she is, and if she’s close.. . . . . "
Corwin is contacting Bouncy,
" Bouncy? Bouncy? You there? "
Starstalker: "BOUNCY!! You out there girl?? HELLOOOO?? Hear meeeeeee PLEASE!!"
EDP hears Starstalker whining in the background and grins. Hah, if only she knew how bad it could be! She thought, and wondered where Bouncy was, who had the power to give the youngun that drink of water. EDP's powers were more destructive. Which sucked sometimes. She couldn’t even materialize a glass of water!
She snooped around the door, looking for the computerized keypad that would open it. Just her luck there wasn’t one. It was some sort of old fashion door, that still used the locks and strikes of earlier, primitive times....
No problem there. She turned around, flicked out her tail, and back-kicked the door clean off its hinges.
Starstalker: "Hey EDP!! How bout coming and kickin my door down too? I don't want to chip a hoof! (LOL)"
"That you master? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am all out of chocolate pudding!!!!!!!!!!!" EDP roams the darkened hallways of an ancient building. It's ugly.
"I don’t know where I am. Bouncy knew but I can’t seem to find her anymore. Poor little punk, I was even starting to like her!!"
EDP fiddles around in her head, searching for signs of intelligent life. She finds Starstalker..."Starstalker is here and seems all right. Still looking for hairbrushes. I am worried about Bouncy. I'm going to kill Lady Maul..."
EDP wonders whether or not she will kick Starstalkers butt after she kicks down her door.... :)
Darth Maul comes into the room containing EDP. He makes an offer he’s sure she can't refuse. If you turn to the Dark Side and join me I'll give you Chocolate pudding and as much Mountain dew as you can drink.
" I can't wait any longer. " Kc whirls. " Obi-Wan, Peace, Corwin. I’m going to save her. "
" How? You don’t know where she is! " Peace exclaims.
" I’m listening. " Obi-Wan says. Ignoring Peace Kc continues.
" I’m going to let myself be caught. " Obi-Wan's expression changes.
" No way! NO! You can't your the head of the council!!! What if he does.. something to you?!?! " He stomps his hoof. " NO. "
" Dad. Mom’s got a point. Ill go with her they need you here. I won’t let myself be separated from her. No matter what they do! They have to knock me out or KILL me to separate us. " Obi-Wan grimaces.
" NO way. Not my wife and my son. Not without me. " Kc sighs.
" Obi-Wan listen. We need you here. U can keep in mental touch. I’ll probably black out for a while. Seeing as DM's way of capture is a lightsaber hilt to the head. "
" NO. "
" DAD! ITS OK. U STAY SHES NOT A CHILD AND NEITHER AM I! " Obi-Wan smiles weakly.
" Ok. I get it. You go recklessly get caught. But bring your sabers otherwise its really obvious and FIGHT back! " He kisses Kc and holds her a sec, unwilling to let go. Then hugs his son. Peace hugs them and says with tears of pride in her eyes.
" You two are the true bearers of the Force. Such courage. May the Force be with you. Both. " Kc and Corwin smile and go to be caught, lightsabers at their sides.
A breif message to EDP from Kc: " EDP we're coming "
EDP looks at Darth Maul, her heart firing like a shot gun.....
Chocolate pudding......?
Mounatin dew......?
NO!!! She cant betray her Master!!! LUV DA MASTER!!!!!
But then, it IS chocolate pudding......
Starstalker: "Hey, as soon as you find my room kick down my door please! YAY! I found a brush! I think its Lady Maul’s...must be cause it has her name engraved.. Oh well:) ::brushbrushbrush:: Oh crap i can't reach my tail! That’s it I’m getting out of here! -walks up to door- "Hmm...I don't know if I can kick this down.. worth a try!" ::kicks door with hind legs:: "OUCH!! Metal door!!!" -2 large hoof dents in middle of door- "Hey EDP! Look for a door that has my legs coming out of it! Well not my legs.. my leg dents. ya know.. Oh and please don't kick my butt :)"
Lady Maul: I'll add cookies into the deal......
EDP hears Master KC in her head and doesn’t know what to do. Maul is looking at her expectantly, waiting for a yes to accept her and a no to kill her......
But then, EDP is already dead.... :)
mmmmmmmmmmm, COOKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While contemplating cookies and pudding, EDP thinks she hears that Starstalker girl somewhere in her head. Dang it!! She quickly scans the girl's mind to try and figure out WHERE exactly the girl's room is.....
EDP glances up at Maul sheepishly and says: "Can I take a raincheck, dude? Gee, thanx!!!" She turns tail and runs like hell...
Kc and Corwin walk down a hallway.
" So how have you been my son? " Best to let him think small talk and it may be a good thing to know she has a son.
" Oh, ok I suppose. I was counting on meeting that EDP when I came to visit. But I guess I gotta wait till we think of something to save her and the others. "
" Yep. I hope we think of something soon. " Kc sees a swirl of black cape. Lightsabers flash out. Senses alert. She whirls Darth Maul stands there. She and Corwin parry with him matched and maybe over matching him. Until Corwin decides to make a move to capture. He lets his saber be flung to the ground and himself backed into a corner, I retract my saber.
" Don't hurt him. "
" A son Kc? I didn’t think you and that wuss Obi Wan had it in you. " A demonic laugh.
" So when does the world go black and I get knocked out? " She asks sarcastically. He backs to Kc's side watching Corwin and her. He says with a short laugh,
" NOW. " Kcs world goes black at a lightsaber hilt.
Stacey in her disguise as Darth maul drags her two friends away. "How could I let him talk me into helping him again?"
"Where are you you little rat," EDP mutters, sniffing along the ground and trying to pick up a scent of a pony she barely knew. The reek of purfume hit her and she glanced up to see a metal door with two slight hoofprints in it. Ahhh, EDP thinks smugly. There we are.
EDP pauses... sensing something wrong with her Master..... she frowns and back kicks Starstalker's door, flinging it open.....
Kc wakes sprawled next to her son on the floor of a cell. Nothing occupies it but herself and Corwin. " EDP.. I’m here. Where are you? " She senses Darth Maul near. The door to her room opens.
" STACEY! " She spits in the unicorn's direction. Darth Maul walks in behind her and noting what she did puts a hoof on his saber handle. Kc smirks.
" Yea, you know you couldn’t in a fair fight so lets kill her unarmed. " Kc closes her mind a minute and tells EDP " DONT GIVE IN WE'RE HERE I GOT COOKIES AND A CAN OF MD IN MY POCKET!! " She checks her pocket, cookies are crushed but EDP isn’t fussy. " What do you want Sithspawn? " She wakes Corwin who leaps into defense stance. " Its ok Corwin. " He slumps and sits on the floor.
" What now? " He says dejectedly but Kc can tell the dejected words are a cover-up.
" Hey DM can you conjure up a Bathroom? Nature calls. " Kc stretches her legs. She did really have to pee....
wildshadow got unnoticed by all confusion so she went with them. (She made sure not to be noticed) then after awhile, all of a sudden Master KC and her son got captured almost if front of her. She made sure to hide her thoughts so she wouldn’t be noticed. And tried her best to follow them . . .
"MASTER GOTS COOKIES?!?!?!? AND MOUNTAIN DEW?!?!? I'm a comin to your aid, Master!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" EDP leaves Starstalkers door, not caring what the girl did after that.
Wildshadow found her way inside the building and tried to talk to EDP.
Lady Maul: "you've gotta be crazy" I said
" I agree" Darth Maul agreed
"if I was in your position and weak like you I probably would have gone in my robe by now" I sneered. Weakness had always disgusted me. I turned and Left. Darth maul followed.
EDP runs blindly thru the dark halls, following her beloved Master's thoughts.... and slams square into a mysterious figure.....
"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!" EDP squeals, and charges up to blast the figure out of existence when the familar voices stops her cold:
"NO don’t kill me, its me, Wildshadow!!!!"
"Man, be careful running in the halls!" wildshadow said playfully, "you know, you gave me such a fright, girl!" she smiles.
Lady Maul: After leaving the pathetic Master with her son we proceeded to JDs cell.
I was only half way surprised to see the door kicked in by what seemed to be EDP hooves. She was sitting and using MY BRUSH to brush her hair. "Put that down and I'll make you an offer you can't refuse my padawan"
EDP snorts. "HAH! You're lucky I didn’t kill you punk!!!" then, sheepishly, "By the way, thanks, Wildshadow.... For the MD. You saved my dead butt back there!"
Sniffs the air.... "Do I smell perfume?"
" Damn I gotta Pee. Sorry EDP but I gotta pee! " Kc asks Corwin to help and bangs mercilessly against her door. It’s bending and squealing but not breaking. Kc mutters " A wise guy eh? " And kicks harder.
" It’s no use it needs to be kicked IN not out. " Corwin sighs. " I gotta pee too. "
" I’d say pee all over the room but we dunno how long we're here for. "
" True. Lets hold it a while longer. " Corwin grins. Kc grins back.
" Isn’t this fun? Heh heh heh. " Corwin bursts out laughing and nods between gasps.
" Oh no now I gotta pee worse! "
" EDP? Where are ya? " Kc tries to contact her. " She’s not where she was. She’s gotta be out! Let’s get ready for her. "
"MASTER!!!!!" EDP squeals, "Lady Maul is going for STARSTALKER!!!"
Lady Maul: YOU WERE USING PERFUME IN MY ROOM!!!
I'll borrow Kc’s words: "Bad bad padawan! BAD!"
"Come on Wildshadow you ready for a party?" EDP grins. She tilts her head and listens to the urgency of separate minds.... sifts thru them and finds the two she needs the most.... grins, says "there you are," and takes off running again. Wildshadow hurries to catch up.
"ON MY WAY, MASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" EDP squeals.
"Huh?" Starstalker turns around. "Oh, this is yours eh? Sorry my Mane was messed up. Now what’s this offer of yours?"
EDP takes dance steps in the air while running. "Starstalker's goin to the DARK SIDE!!!" she sings gleefully. "BUH BYE!!!"
Lady Maul: Would you join Darth Maul and I against the Jedi? You would have many resources at your command and power beyond imagination. IF you join.
" EDP says they're going for JD Starstalker! Kick harder and pee all over the room we're gettin outta here! " They pee all over the room (one at a time of course and the other covering their eyes.) " NOW KICK! " They kick simultaneously and the door breaks. " No door can keep a Kenobi pent up long! HA! " They gallop out into the hall and crash into Wildshadow and EDP.
" EDP!!!!!!! " Kc squeals. EDP squeals back, and takes a long look at Corwin. Corwin smiles a big handsome grin. EDP smiles back and says,
" Starstalker! " They gallop down the halls.
Starstalker: "Hmmm..Well everyone seems to hate me for no apparent reason..."
"You are really loving this aren't you, EDP?", wildshadow is saying, gleefully, as she's trying to keep up her.
"Starstalker thinks I hate her!!" EDP says with a little guilt. "Hope I don’t push her to do anything rash..."
Lady Maul: If your going to join we better leave quickly. It seams all of our prisoners escaped except one. We’ll take her and leave this planet to the Jedi. We still have Bouncy though.
"MASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!" EDP screams. "THEY'RE LEAVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Starstalker: "Oh CRAP. What should I do? Turn. don't turn. Turn. don't turn....."
EDP glances at Corwin as they run and swoons a little..... :)
" They're getting away EDP! Wildshadow? Can u use your magic? I’m a unicorn. Sorry guys, hey my lightsaber! " They skid to a stop as she runs into a room where her lightsaber sits on a table she grabs and fastens it. Everyone else gets theirs. " Gotta go. Wish me luck! I wish.. I wish.. " She disappears.
" Unicorn magic. " Wildshadow says.
Kc apears in front of DM, Bouncy in handcuffs and Stacey. " Aha. A fair fight. Let er' go. " Lightsaber flicks on. " Or else. "
Lady Maul: Its now or never padawan.....
do we take you as a captive or a friend?
(grins evilly)
EDP looks at Corwin with a delightfully wicked smile on her face. "Well if this ain’t a reason to stick with the Good Guys, then I dunno what is!!!"
Corwin blushes a little, which only makes EDP giggle. She wraps her forelegs around his neck and hugs him tight.
"Oooooooooh!!!! PRETTY little Jedi Knight!!!"
Lady Maul: Darth Maul steps forward
I snap "we don't have time for this"
I use a gust of the force to slam Kc into a wall and continue on. as she lays unconscious
Starstalker: Evil overcomes Starstalker, her brain is overrun. "Friend."
Master Kc: " EDP what about Becka? " I transfer in my mind quickly as Darth Maul & Stacey look at me menacingly. " We gotta save Becka too! Peace's apprentice! "
EDP senses her master's hurt and rushes to her side.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screams, filled with rage, and stands in front of Maul, blocking him and his lady.
"I swore I'd kill you!!!!!!!!" EDP screams.
EDP: Wildshadow!! Find Becka!!! You have to save her before we ALL get killed!!
Lady Maul: We make it to our Sith infiltrator and take off. Darth Maul, our captive Bouncy, Jd starKiller and I "We have evaded you JEDI! HAHAHAHAHA!!
Wildshadow: "okay i'll do my best!"
" EDP.. " Kc gasps from her spot on the ground. She stumbles to stand. Her mid section throbs with pain, oh only a few cracked ribs she thinks skeptically. She uses the Force to lift her and let her move. She stands next to EDP. " We're in this together. Fair fight Darthy. " Her look is of total disgust and resentment.
Starstalker: MWHAHAHAHAHAAAA (sorry, I had to do that!)
"Now I have GUILT!!!!" EDP sees Corwin and promptly forgets guilt. She resumes position in his arms. "Hey baby how ya doin?"
Lady Maul: You’re all to late. This Dark Jedi is done for a while. I think we’ll hide for a while Then LOOK OUT! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!
EDP, Kc, and Corwin stand on the Starship dock.
" They’re gone. " EDP says. Corwin has a grimmace on his face.
" We'll get them. " Corwin puts a hoof on EDP's shoulder. " We will, for the Hell they put you through, " Kc shakes her head sorrowfully and collapses into a heap, broken ribs. And maybe even a leg now that she mentally checks those.
" Master! "
" Mom! "
" Go get Becka, Corwin, help Wildshadow. EDP will help me.. I’m alright, " He looks hesitant. " GO. "
" Ok. " He trots off calling ' Wildshadow? '
" Help me up EDP. I’ll be all right. "
ok... heheheh.... EDP sends a fond farewell out to StarStalker!!! Or starkiller, as Mauls called her... :)
EDP helps her poor master to sit. "You wanna keep the mountain dew? I think you need it more than me...."
Grins at Master Kc's side. "See I didn’t turn... I was even tempted. I still luv my Master too much for that.... and your beautiful son!! YEOOWZ!! Can I keep him?" EDP grins.
EDP looks around, shrinking back against her Master.... "Got awful quiet around here....." she whimpers.
Kc grins at EDP. " Um no, here, have the Mountain Dew. " She sets her jaw in pain. " And what’s left of the cookies, " another groan as she moves to remove the crumbs and MD from her pocket, she hands them to EDP who scarfs it and smiles thankfully. " And about my son. " A grin despite the pain. " We'll see what happens "
" EDP. Don't fear silence, respect it. " She smiles and EDP's head in her lap strokes the red hair. Then mutters " It doesn’t happen too often. "
EDP looks at her master, wondering what kind of good if any that Demon Magic can do. She powers up with the can of Dew and insists that Master KC have some too. "Well," EDP begins. "Before I was a padawan I was a nurse. Let's find Becka and get outa here!! I'll take good care of you," she grins, hoisting KC to her feet. Pauses, then asks, looking confused: "Is Becka a boy or a girl?"
The Mauls are sleeping soundly in their corridor...They think Starstalker is asleep too.. but NO! She sneaks out of her room, and seeks out Bouncy. After an hour of searching, Star finds the Pegasus. She lays huddled in a corner, deprived from her MD. I pull a can from my robe and toss it to her.
"THANK YOU!" she squeals, and heartily gulps down the delicious MD.
"Want another?" Star asks.
"YEAHYEAHYEAh!" the caffeine starts to kick in.
"You have to follow me, and you'll get another, ok?"
Bouncy nods happily and follows Star. After searching long and hard, they come finally find an escape pod.
"Get it!" Star says, tossing a can of MD into the empty pod. Bouncy gleefully jumps into the pod, followed by Starstalker.
Star plops down on a seat "WhEW that was a close one. I can't believe Darth what’s-her-face believed my "Friend" story!”
"What?" Bouncy asked between gulps.
"Nevermind, we're going HOME!"
The pod zips away.........
A sudden jerk sends the ponies crashing against the wall.
"That was FUN!" Bouncy shouted
"It’s the Infiltrator!" Star informs her.
"OH NO!"
"Oh Yes."
Three more hits....
But the pod keeps going.
"Here, have another Dew Bounce!" Star tosses her another, and opens one for herself.
We cruise through space until we sight the planet we left from, we half crash half land on the Starship dock near to a crumpled Kc and spunky alert looking EDP.
"Wow." EDP says. "Hey guys. Don’t know whether I should kill ya or not." EDP grins widely.
Starstalker: "Nah, can't we just be friends EDP?"
"Oh I guess you did, huh?" EDP grins sheepishly and offers a friendly hoof. "Way to cheat the devil," she grins. "Couldn’t have done it better myself...."
Starstalker: ::takes EDP's hoof, and pulls her into a hug:: " I Love you all!" ::big smile::
EDP: "Hey now, easy on the hugging!!!! GRAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
Peace gallops down the corridor and stops as she sees Kc and all the ponies heaped on the floor. She looks around a bit before grabbing Kc by the robe. "Where is Becky????" she frantically asks. "Where is my padawan???"
Corwin and Wildshadow come up with Becka between them remarking on a butterfly. " Becka! Are you okay?!?!? Sithspawn! Ill get them for that! " Peace exclaims and rushes to hug her padawan. " Thanks Wildshadow and Corwin. " Kc smiles. Corwin gives her a hug, " Let’s go home now. " He says. He hooks a hoof around EDP's shoulder. She beams a smile at him and kisses his cheek. " Thanx for the rescue buddy! " She exclaims and hugs him. He blushes. Wildshadow laughs.
Yay!! All the young Jedi Padawans are rescued and ready for their next adventure in the Dark Side…. Would EDP really turn her back on the ponies she luvs the most? You bet!!!
