EDP glares at her new padawan, Wildshadow, who is in for a big ass-whoopin this morning. EDP stalks a circle around the alicorn, and adjusts her light saber on low setting. "You better be quick, padawan," she warns, smiling wicked.
"Oh I'll be quick," Wildshadow replies with an eager smirk. "I can fly!" She takes to the air to prove it, and zings around EDP's head like a misquito. EDP's double-bladed light saber comes to life in a red blur as the Demon Pony begins her training. Wildshadow jumps back. "Hah!" she crows. "You missed!"
EDP smiles as Wildshadow's brown robe floats to the floor, and she is left in her white underclothes. She blushes violently and comes back down to earth. "Take your training saber," EDP tells her, gesturing off at a rack of them against the far wall. Wildshadow checks them out, obviously less than impressed.
"Aww," she groans. "I have to use one of these things?"
"Yes," EDP replies simply, slowly swinging her own double blade through a simple maneuver, warming up.
Wildshadow pouts a little and randomly picks one. "When do I get my own?"
"When I say so."
"Will I get a double sided stick?" she asks, powering up the training saber.
EDP's eyes get large, and she squeals "Not if you call them STICKS you wont!!"
Wildshadow grins, checking out her saber. "Luv the sticks!!!"
"Bad bad padawan!" EDP smacks her apprentice. "If you want a stick I will go out in the garden and cut you a stick!!!"
Wildshadow swings the saber, listening to the quiet hum of the energy blade. "I can turn it--" she begins.
"Not into a saber you cant."
"Yes I can!" Wildshadow says gleefully. "Behold my power!!"
EDP's face goes beet red. "I will kick your ass so far out of this academy you will land on Endor!!" she yells. But then she calms herself, remembering the words of her beloved Master Kc ("Bad! Bad padawan!") and says mildly: "Jedi's don't cheat."
She begins the attack so suddenly that Wildshadow barely has time to parry the blow. EDP pursues the little padawan ruthlessly, until Wildshadow's white underclothes are soaked through with sweat. The attacks come so quickly that the alicorn finds she doesn’t have time to use the magic she boasted of.
Wildshadow realizes she may have jumped a little too hastily into the physical part of training, and sensing that thought, EDP smiles, satisfied, and suddenly kicks Wildshadow's feet out from beneath her. Wildshadow lands hard on the floor and the training saber bounces out of her hands. EDP hovers over her padawan, an intense, frightening smile on her face.
"You must learn control and focus, padawan," she grins, her face illuminated by the red saber in her hands. "Through control and focus only will you find strength."
"Control and focus?"
"And Mountain Dew," EDP admits. "And pudding. But you don't get no puddin." She grins, and helps Wildshadow to her feet.
The Great Obnoxious Deception
Message from Lady Maul:
Anyone who wants to turn to the Dark Side and join me and my husband reply to me at ptrash@xxxxx.xxx I will not inform those idiotic JEDI. I am against them now.
Join me in my quest to end the JEDI— JOIN ME!!! You will have more power then you ever imagined.
If you don't join me in quest against the JEDI...... You will die when they all fall at my feet.....
Private Message from Master KC to Master EDP:
I know you want to turn to the Dark Side. I have a proposition for you
and Wildshadow. ( u can tell her ) I know you wish to kill Darth Maul and
Stacey as well as join them.. Why don’t you…
Join the Dark Side and the Jedi will pretend to put you to shame,
and you can either kill them or somehow cripple them ( BLOW UP THEIR SITH
INFILTRATOR!! It's their pride & joy!! ) And then we’ll take ya back. I’ve
also committed my life to the death of Stacey and Darth Maul and the fall
of their Empire. Join me?
EDP’s acceptance message to Lady Maul: Take me home, daddy-O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For however much I may have ranted about you two love birds, there is only so much of this crap I can stand.... even my own padawan is annoying. Taking a look at some of these trainees.... if this is the
future of the Jedidom, kicking their ass oughta be a cinch!!!
….as long as I get pudding and Mountain Dew, man, I am THERE!!!!
Lady Maul’s response to EDP:
Glad to have you with us EDP. We have another person who joined last
night. She’s going to reveal herself to the Jedi yet but once
she takes her trials she will.
All the Jedi, Apprentices and Padawans alike are standing lined up in a large room. Kc and Peace and EDP stalk back and forth along the lines of recruits. Kc talks.
" I understand two of you have turned to the Dark Side. . . This meeting will fish out the two whom have committed this awful deed. If the Force wills it we will find you, so if It is you.. Step forward now! " Peace nods and stands back to watch every movement of the young Jedi. . . .
Peace taps a hoof. After a few seconds of silence she speaks "I don't like
dark Jedi impersonating the light. If you come forward now, there will be no
penalty and you will be allowed to go free. Choosing to be Dark, Shadow or
Light is your own choice, but we do not like those who cause trouble for the
others."
A couple days later….
"Hi everyone!" Bouncy says, grinning. "I'd like to introduce a friend of
mine, Aquatica. She's decided she wants to become a Jedi!"
A white pony with blue eyes and gray hair with a black stripe steps forward.
Her symbol is a shark's fin surrounded by water. At first, something seems
peculiar about her, until she opens her gigantic black and white dragon
wings. Her black and orange tiger tail twitches. "Hi, everyone," she says,
with a grin. "Like Bouncy said, I'm Aquatica. How's everyone doing on this
fine afternoon?"
EDP gives a glance as she stalks by, a bundle in hand. "Welcome to the force," she sneers at the new trainee, and walks on without a second look.
She goes to Master Kc's room. Peace, Obi Wan and Corwin are talking with the Jedi Master, and turn as her silhouette fills the doorway. "I'm leaving," she hisses. "I've joined the Dark Side."
She turns from the room, and is gone.
Lady Stacey Maul: One of you leaves the Jedi. Who will be next? Soon you will all belong to Us!
When everyone (well almost everyone) was seeing the new trainee, Wildshadow
felt EDP turn over to the dark side. Then she said out loud (and even in
her mind) to EDP "Damn it EDP!!!!! Why did you change!!!" when hearing
that, all the masters came to see what the commotion was about. Then everyone
looked at Wildshadow with disbelief because Wildshadow was saying, while
holding her head, "NO!!!!!! You are not coming out and taking over!!!
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "Oh yes i am!!" said an evil voice that came from
Wildshadow. "I've waited to be evil for a long time! And now's my chance!"
"NO!!!! I won't let you!!!!", Wildshadow tried her best but she was too
weak to keep the evil down. She burst into a ball of fire and then
lightening bolts, a strong wind, and shadow's surrounded Wildshadow.
Everyone that was in
the room saw her hoofs change into claws, her teeth sharpened, her wings
changed into a mixture of a bat's and a dragon's, her horn curved up some,
and her eyes turned dragonish and catish. Then all the fire, lightening,
wind and shadows died down. Wildshadow reared up and whinnied evilly. She
came back down and said, "I'm free at last!!!!! I'll never go back to being
good again!" . . .
Peace turns to Kc and Obi-Wan. "Uh.... what just happened?" She pauses and
looks at Kc. "Kc, Stacy is becoming a menace! She's turning all of our
students. I am confident that Becky will remain a Jedi, but this is just
rediculas. We are being destroyed from the inside."
She stands. "Ooooh, I'm flustered. I'm going to go meditate." Peace briskly
walks out of the room.
Aquatica looks at EDP, interested. "Hey, somebody tell me about this Dark
Side!" she declares. "It sounds like lots of fun!"
Bouncy stares in horror at the other pony. "What in the world are you
saying!?"
Aquatica grins. "Well, I am evil, after all. All right, I've decided. The
Light Side, from what you've told me, sounds a little too goody goody. I'm
going to be a bad guy."
Bouncy rolls her eyes. "Fine, get killed by the good Jedi at the end."
Aquatica narrows her eyes. "Not on your life, I won't," she says, and
disappears.
Nightstorm turned quickly to Wildshadow, hearing her cry out. "So, you
can transform, too, huh? That was one of the first things I learned from
Night. Let's see now." Nightstorm concentrated and shimmered, becoming a
dragon. Her fur became golden scales, she grew larger and larger, outsizing
Wildshadow. "You like? Gold dragons have always been my favorite."
Nightstorm look at Wildshadow. "You know, I could make you good again if I
had the training as a rainbow tyger. They've done it too many times."
Nightstorm quickly, gently, and firmly held Wildshadow down.
Nightstorm roars with the dragon’s roar. "The dark side destroyed my best
friends and held one captive for a long time! You join them, and you'll feel
it!" Nightstorm calms down. "What am I saying? Stupid dark side, making me
act all mean like that!" Nightstorm continues holding down Wildshadow
firmly, while trying to remember that spell to make the evil in her calm down.
EDP watches as Nightstorm tries her magic on Wildshadow. "Oh, NO ya don't!!!" she crows, pouncing on Wildshadow's head and sending off a severe electric shock. Nightstorm jerks back helplessly, away from the Demon Pony.
"Anyone else who wants to join us best join us now!!!" EDP shoots a glance at Aquatica. "You coming or staying? Life or death. What is your choice?"
"Puh-leese!" Nightstorm says dodging EDP's attack easily. "I'm an
other-dimension pony! My magic is the magic of a sorceress, not a MLP
unicorn!" Nightstorm remembers the spell she was looking for. She conjures
up a Rainbow Orb. "Hah! This orb is a Rainbow Tyger's orb of goodness. If
either of you has any good left, this'll take care of the evil!" A rainbow
shoots from the orb and circles around EDP and Wildshadow. Will either of
their goodness take action and let the orb take their evil?
(EDP’s note: this is why me no likes Nightstorm!!! Unicorn my ASS!!!)
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." The ponies turn to see an albino alicorn,
dressed in Jedi robes standing behind them. "I suggest you release the lady."
EDP says one thing: "You forget I'm not a unicorn. I'm a demon, which means I carry with me all the powers of HELL."
And she and Wildshadow DISAPPEAR.....
He shakes his head. "Demons..." he creates a pony-sized dimensional portal
and follows
EDP checks the albino out. "Hey you're a cutie," she tweeks his cheek, always a sucker for gentlemen. "Who are you?"
Nightstorm becomes herself again, muttering. "Oh, I realize that,
demons, wizards, dark side, they're all the same. No good left in any of 'em
This orb help no one." Nightstorm sends the orb back home. "A dragon
couldn't help here, nor an orb of goodness. What we need is brain power, not
brute force. So, the dark ones are calling us weaklings, huh? Back home the
dark ones got their power from somewhere other than themselves, while good
sorcerers and sorceresses got magic from their heart. We always won by
cutting off the hatred." Nightstorm remembers how many magic battles she had
been in and Firestorm, the red unicorn who was always there to help. "If
you're out there, friend, help me now. Keep the evil out of me and spread
good thoughts of hope!"
EDP senses Nightshadow's noble thoughts and grimaces, wondering if the other-dimensional thing will ever let her alone to do what she needed to do. She didn’t understand and could never tell her.
She offers the alicorn a chase, jumping through portal after portal with a healthy amount of glee and dragging a squirming Wildshadow behind her.
EDP finds a quiet little backwater planet to rest on for a while. She drags the irate Wildshadow into a tiny cantina and finds the farthest, darkest corner to hide in. EDP sits across from the big dragon looking creature and sighs, resting her chin on her hooves. "What the devil am I going to do with you?" she grins.
A little late, but an introduction…:
"I am White Star. That is all you need to know. Now release your.....
captive."
White Star follows her through every portal. "You will not loose me."
"You are not going to do anything with me." [Wildshadow] gives EDP an evil grin.
EDP sips her Mountain Dew, ignoring the looks she's getting from the cantina patrons. She didn’t have much interest in White Star, though she thought she might have known him from somewhere. Lady Maul needed to contact her QUICK, because she was tired of running and not interested in the Jedi's little reindeer games.
She looks at Wildshadow and sighs. "Ok fine I wont do nothin with you. Just HOW powerful are you?"
Wildshadow:
"Well you just have to find out. I'm not telling my powers to anyone."
"I have to trust someone really well to do that." she said in a sneer.
White Star walks into the cantina, up to the bar and ordered a frosty Pepsi.
He gave EDP a half smile. "Going to release her yet?"
He takes a sip of soda.
EDP looks at White Star and still thinks he's a little cutie. "You mean you want HER?!!?" She cocks a thumb at Wildshadow, half not believing it. She starts laughing, and turns to Wildshadow. "Ohhh, Wildy!!" She coos. "This guy wants ta take ya HOME!!!!!"
His cheeks turn a slight shade of pink. "Well, um.... in a sense...." He
looks at Wildshadow. "You do want to go back to the Jedi Academy, don't you?"
EDP glances as Wildshadow. "You gonna answer the man or what?"
"Oh, he wants to, eh?" [Wildshadow] says with wicked smile. Then she started to
laugh. "No one is taking me back. My good side wants to go but she's not
going anywhere."
White Star:
"Then why not let your good side go?"
EDP's ears perk. "This could get interesting...." she grins. "Let’s get Wildshadow a Bipolar disorder! I will keep the Wild, and YOU--" she prods White Star's chest-- "May have the Shadow."
Wildshadow:
"NO!! She is part of me and she is not going. And EDP, that's the
stupidest thing I ever heard!" After saying that she goes outside.
EDP shrugs and glances at White Star. "She's all yours sweetie if you can catch her."
He frowns at EDP. "Now look what you have done." He follows Wildshadow out.
"Look," he says after finding her. "Just listen to what I have to say. It is
your choice whether you want to be a dark or light Jedi, but just ask
yourself one question: Will I be happy with this decision?"
EDP follows them out, smiling carefully. "Padawan..." she calls. "Come with me, my padawan!!! You KNOW which choice is right."
Starstalker trots up to EDP. "Hey, haven't seen to you in awhile. I've been on
a small....vacation." *evil grin*
"I see your busy..." Starstalker frowns. "I might be of some help though?"
"STARSTALKER!!!!" EDP squeals with delight. "How ya doin, buddy? Yeah I can use some help. Prince Valiant is trying to steal my padawan. What we otter do to him?"
Wildshadow:
"You dare ask me that when you can very well tell that I am evil! I reek of
evil, and I’ve always wanted to be evil! And EDP you can stop trying to
help!"
then all of a sudden she lifted up White Star with her power and started to
squeeze the life out of him.
"Glad to see ya too, EDP!" Starstalker grins "Hmm.. Padawan stealing is a
no-no.." *rubs her chin thoughtfully. "I dunno.. what punishment do you think
is.. well.. "appropriate"?"
"NO nononono WAIT!!!!" EDP squeals, running up to Wildshadow and trying to figure out a way to stop her. "LET HIM GO OR YOU DONT GET NO PUDDIN!!!!"
Wildshadow doesn't listen to EDP and uses some of her power to knock EDP away.
White Star opens a portal and he disappears. But, his voice lingers in the
air. "If that is your decision, don't let me stop you."
"I think she means it Wildshadow!" Starstalker grins. "Stop now-or noooo
puddin'!!"
EDP picks herself up out of the dirt and dusts off. White Star is gone. She glares up at her demon Padawan. "Just what the hell are you trying to prove?" she snarls.
"Nothing. Well to not to you and anyone else anyway." [Wildshadow] moves away
from EDP and her friend.
EDP can’t stand being brushed off. "Don't you walk away from me, Padawan!!!" she roars. "You have no business ANYWHERE but with ME!!!!"
"Ya right!" Wildshadow yells behind her. Then Wildshadow turned suddenly
and blasted EDP with her magic and it slammed her into a tree.
Starstalker rushes over to EDP. "You ok?" she looks down at her friend and
offers her a hoof up. "You've got one MAD padawan on your hands!"
EDP peels her eyes open and stares at her Padawan. "Bad, bad padawan......"
Her eyes begin to glow dull red as she powers up for a full blast, and looks at Wildshadow carefully, wondering whether or not to kill her. EDP is certainly ready to do it. But she knows that her good little padawan is trapped inside somewhere, and so only discharges half the magic. It surrounds her padawan and sends her flying across the ground. Wildshadow picks herself up, unscathed, but mad as a rattlesnake. EDP looks at Star stalker, grinning sheepishly. "Methinks we better run..."
"Hehe...that'd probably be a good idea!" Starstalker laughs and gallops
off ,looking back to see if EDP is following.
EDP swirls a little magic from her hooves and she disappears. The red light chases Starstalker down, and she disappears too, away from Wildshadow's wrath.
*Me thinks you better* Wildshadow says, evilly, to both of them with her mind.
EDP:
You can hear me here, Wildshadow, I am talking to your mind. Calm down and let me talk to your Shadow half!!!!!! I know my good little padawan is in there somewhere....
"Hmm.. do you really want a "good little padawan"? I think Stacey will like
this.. madness.. of hers. As long as she puts it to good use...." Starstalker
asks EDP, as they swirl through this cloud ,to wherever they're going.
"Good little padawan? Ehhh," EDP shrugs, feeling Wildshadow following behind them. "But CONTROLLABLE little padawan? Yeah...."
"Yeah...guess she does need controlled "Starstalker grins. "Otherwise we
wouldn't be in this.. this.. whatever it is being chased by her and some white
dude!"
Wildshadow stops all of a sudden and is trying to figure out how to catch
them easier . . .
EDP and Starstalker leap out of the portal onto a sandy planet. EDP whirls around and seals the portal, hoping to trap Wildshadow inside long enough for the two to hide somewhere. "So...." She drawls, giving Starstalker a sideways glance. "You got any good ideas? We need to get back to Lady Maul's place so that these freaks and Jedi goody 2 shoes can’t chase us anymore."
"Ugh...I dunno what to do.. can't we just get in another one of those cloud
things and zip to the dark side?" Starstalker asks EDP. "Whatever we do we
hafta hurry. I have a feeling that those freaks will be arriving any
minute...."
[Wildshadow] senses that they stopped. She pin-points where they stopped and she
opens a small portal and appears right near them.
EDP is tired of running. She is hot and tired and really wants a Mountain dew. She faces Wildshadow and says: "Specifically, Padawan, what is it that you want?"
"Just to see how well my magic is working." "And it is!" [Wilshadow] smiles an evil
grin. she jumps back away from them. "Are you having fun?" she growls.
and then she put a shield around her to make sure she doesn't get blasted . .
EDP just kinda looks at her, then looks at Starstalker. "Ok..." she drawls. "But how good are you WITHOUT your magic? Or is magic all you are?" she sneers, and pulls her light saber from beneath the folds of her robe. It hums to life, and EDP's face glows ruddy in it's light. "Can you fight me without magic, simple padawan? Or are you not quite that skilled?"
Starstalker:
"All that to see how your magic is working? Geeeeshe...."
"Well not all of it. I was playing with you 2 just like a cat
does with a mouse. And boy was that fun!" she says in an demonic voice
with a grin. Then to EDP "Maybe I can fight with you with out magic.
Haven't tried yet, maybe i'll try to now!" she smiles big. Wildshadow
used her magic to take one of the double-sided sabers from the Jedi’s place.
She turns it into a different color and moves it about feeling it's power . .
EDP grins, knowing that simple Padawan with one day's training can never best a Jedi Master. That was one of the reasons EDP waited so long before she joined the Dark Side, to gain the skill that magic could never lend her. Wildshadow is awkward with the double-sided blade, and blocks EDP's furious blows with the skill of a novice. Angry at her silly, stupid padawan, EDP is ruthless in her attack. She strikes twice, burning Wilshadow's skin. Wildshadow shrieks and swings the saber, grazing EDP and burning her cloak. EDP spins and, with a battle cry, flings the saber out of Wildshadow's hooves.
Corwin walks into Kc's quarters. " Hey mom, " He shakes an empty Mountain Dew box. " Outta Dew. " EDP had addicted him to it. The room was ravaged. A lightsaber left on the floor. He drops the box. " MOM! . . . " He looks franticly.. Black gloves. He tries them on, too small for his hoof. It was a female... EDP!!! NO. His eyes fill with tears, then harden. " DAD?!? " He runs to Obi-Wan's office where he works on a database for training. " DAD. MOMS GONE. " He was pacing. He stopped stock-still and his eyes opened wildly.
" What?! " he screeched. " I felt a disturbance.. NO. NO. NO. NO. EDP must have done this.. " He put a hoof on his son's shoulder. " we'll get her back. Starting now, we'll do our best. "
" Mom. We gotta find her. EDP. Why did I ever get involved with her?!?"
Kc wakes up in a nicely furnished room. " WHAT THE HELL!?!?! " she screams. " I HATE IT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. " Then faintly remembers feeling a disturbance and then her saber falling from her hands. She patted the holder. " ^%&^#! " She growled. " EVIL DEAD PONY. I know its you. Show yourself, besides, " she adds with a smile. " Only one who knows my mind can sneak up on me. Four know it. . . "
EDP hears her beloved Master KC screaming inside her head and it breaks her concentration. Has she been framed? How could she have kidnapped Kc Kenobi when she's been fighting off Wildshadow and Peace's little Cutie-pie all day....?
Lady Maul Appears out of nowhere. She stands between the two fighters..
"Stop this Fighting!! I will not have fighting between my allies"
turns to Wildsahdow
"YOU!" " get a hold of youself. You are no good to me like this"
Lets get back to my base before the Jedi catch up they can't get us
there.
Ignoring Lady Maul, Wildshadow hurried and got another saber using her magic
to get it (the evil side new it wasn't playing fair but there was no stopping
the rage). She pinned down EDP and was about to send her back to where ever
she came from but something happened . . . the good side hit
something in the mind of the dark one and she came back, the good one
threw away the saber she had and started holding her head (she was still in
the evil form) . . .
EDP struggles to her feet and looks warily at her Padawan, and then glances at Lady Maul. "About damn time you got here," she grins as she steps up to Wildshadow.
"You didnt try to hurt me. Is this the good Wildshadow?"
Starstalker waits off to the side, wondering when they're getting out of there.
"Are we leaving anytime soon? I REALLY need a Pepsi.. or a Strawberry-Kiwi
Mystic...."
"How About a strawberry kiwi mountain dew?" EDP wonders out loud. "Or would that be nasty?" :)
"Ewwww that sounds kinda...ICKY!!" Starstalker laughs then plops down on the
sand, knowing this may take awhile.
Wildshadow:
straining to say with a smile, "You . . . better . . . believe it's . . .
the good one" then the evil came back and she flipped back away from all of
them. she landed on her fours and arched her back up and stared to hiss and
growl and then both sides began fighting within her head . . .
EDP watches with her eyebrows askew, and then joins Starstalker in the sand. "You wanna play go-fish?"
then all of a sudden both sides just gave up and Wildshadow fainted. then
her body fell to the ground, still in evil form.
EDP takes the opportunity to tie Wildshadow up---just as a precaution. She knows it is high time to get to Lady Maul's base, away from annoying Jedi do-gooders trying to save their souls. Besides, EDP knows that Master KC is lost somewhere. Starstalker helps drag Wildshadow through a portal, following Lady Maul back to the base.
EDP is running low on Mountain Dew and chocolate pudding anyway, and seems to have caught a virus from one of those backwater cantinas...... dirty little aliens!!!! grrrrrr!!!!!! She bets it was that nasty Jar jar thing and makes a reservation to go back and kill it....
Peace suddenly stops in the middle of reading a book. She heard EDP's
thoughts, and looked blindly around her. "Peace's cutie-pie???"
*I think she means me.* White Star steps from a portal and into Peace's room.
Peace stares at him for a moment. Then she leaps from her chair and throws
her arms around his neck. "Oh, Master! You have come back!"
He returns the hug. "You didn't honestly think I was going to wander around
the stars forever do you?"
She releases the hold on him. "Why did you return?"
"I heard about all the troubles the Academy is facing, and I came back to
help." His tone suddenly became serious. "EDP, Wildshadow and Starstalker
have joined the Dark Side and Lady Maul is with them. But Wildshadow is
facing a major identity crisis, her good side is battling with her evil. We
could help her, if she allowed us to."
Peace turns away. "Where have we gone wrong? So many are turning to the
darkness..."
"The Dark Side is the much easier path, I must admit that. It is easier to
slaughter hundreds of people than to help them through a tough winter." He
pauses. "Remember what I taught you, following the Force is like a game of
dice, you may roll one way or the other. It is the person who chooses to be
Light or Dark, a master cannot do this for him/her. We only teach and guide,
they must make the tough decisions."
Peace thought about it.
"You almost turned, during your trials. I thought you would turn on me, but
you fought temptations, and remained Light. I never gave up hope, and neither
should you."
"You're right!" Peace whirls around. "You have once again saved me Master."
He gave a weak smile. "You are no longer my Padawan, don't call me Master."
His smile faded. "By the way, KC and Obi-Wan are missing."
"WHAT??????"
[Lady Maul] hears a voice in her head, Its Darth Maul.
"Stacey, come back quickly, I have something important to show you."
"wait here. We will decide what to do next when I return."
Turns to EDP
"wait here, IF the Jedi come, fight."
Leaves to go to Darth Maul wondering what could be so important.
EDP looks at the unconscious Wildshadow and grabs her, slapping her face until she snaps awake. EDP isn’t sure whether that's the good or the bad Wildshadow since anyone would look at her that way after that sort of wake up call, so she says: "Soooo, who the hell are you now?"
After that 'waking' up, wildshadow looks at EDP and says "What is going on?"
she stands up on all fours, shakenly, and looks around dazed. Then she
stares at EDP for awhile, then wildshadow kind of growls at her and lays back
down to think for a moment.
EDP leans back against the wall and waits for her to make up her mind. "You sure put on a display," she growls. "You sure know how to make my life into a living circus."
She glances around at the familiar, dark halls of Lady Maul's base and shudders a little, the feeling of the coke suspension chamber still fresh in her mind.
Wildshadow isnt handling it very well. The good and evil in her are fighting for control of her large, dragonlike body, and EDP watches with mild fascination and a caffeine withdrawal headache. Wildshadow writhes and wriggles across the floor, squealing and shrieking and making all sorts of unpleasant noises, her whole body glowing like a fireball. EDP gets a little more interested and crouches against the wall to watch, her saber ready in hand.
Wildshadow suddenly rears back on her hind legs, and nearly reaches the ceiling with her height. She spreads her monstrous dragon wings and goes aloft, crashing straight through the roof and ascending into the upper levels of Lady Maul's base.
"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!!!!" EDP ducks for cover as twisted metal and remains of the ceiling crash down around her. "Holy crap!!" She runs up under the huge hole left in the ceiling and peers into the darkness, grimacing at the crashing sounds in the distance.
As Starstalker feeds quarters into a Pepsi machine that doesn't want to give
her anything, the base shudders. "What the..." She quits with the machine and
heads towards what she thinks is the place the shaking may have started.
Entering a room,she sees EDP staring up at the roof, surrounded by metal.
"What's going on EDP? " Looking up Starstalker sees a gaping hole in the
roof...
EDP huffs a short sigh. "Well Padawan is still playing Queen Devil." She looks at Starstalker and then heads for the delinquent pepsi machine as her saber hums to life. "If she isn’t stopped, she could destroy the whole base." She takes a swing at the soda machine and the door flings open and off. She reaches in and gets herself a mountain dew.
"Why didn't I think of that" Starstalker grumbles, helping herself to the free
pepsi. "Can you use that thing to get me my money back?" she grins.
EDP angles her saber at the machine again and quarters come flying out like water.
Starstalkers shield her face from the flying quarters. "Thanx!" she
says, picking up her fair share when the quarter stream stops. "Now.. what are
you planning on doing about that padawan of yours?"
As Wildshadow was fighting within, she didn't know her body was flying
around fighting imaginary shadows. Then her body ran into a cement pillar and
got knocked out for a few minutes. When she came to she was neither evil or
good, she became a really wild animal, seeing shadows and stuff as enemies
she has to kill before they kill her. She blasted a few holes in the walls
and destroyed some of the stuff that was in the rooms and halls . . .
Lady Maul appears.
"Will you stop destroying my base" If you wanted soda that bad you could have asked...”
EDP shrugs. "Don’t know. Sounds like she is having lots of fun though doesn’t it?" She looks at Starstalker thoughtfully, staring with blazing, shimmering red eyes. "She might destroy a large part of this building. Do you think we should stop her?"
"Yeah, stopping her might be a good idea.. Lady Maul is probably getting
pissed..." Starstalker says casually, grabbing her 3rd Pepsi.
EDP lashes her thoughts out desperately, sucking down her 7th Dew, wondering how Starstalker could drink that crap.
Where are you KC Kenobi? Where are you hidden?
"Lady Maul can get mad if she want. I don’t know how to stop her, I've tried." EDP leaves the room, stepping over and ignoring the mountain of quarters. "I have done enough."
EDP hears the faint cry of her former master echoing in her brain....
starvation.....
She knows she has to reach her before Wildshadow kills her. She turns to Starstalker. "Will you help me find Kc?" she asks. "Answer now because I will leave you here in seconds."
Peace slumps to the floor, staring at the ground. "Why couldn't I sense it? I
should have been able to feel Kc's disappearance. Poor Obi-Wan...."
"Pick yourself up, off of the floor," White Star commanded, "You are a Jedi
Master, do not feel sorry for yourself. It matters not why you didn't know
about the vanishing of your two closest friends, what matters is- they are
gone!" Peace stood. "And we must find them."
"Oh, my gosh... where is....." Peace suddenly bolts out of the room.
Peace stops running through the halls of the Jedi Temple at Kc's room. There
she spots Corwin, looking very distressed, holding an empty Mountain Dew case.
He looks up. "Peace, Mom and Dad are gone. And there's no more Mountain Dew."
"We find your parents first, then we will deal with the late shipment of MD."
Peace pats the lad on the head. "Can you sense your parents? Maybe tell us
where they are?"
"Yeah." Starstalker replies, confused. The two set off in search of Kc...
The base is shaking, and EDP can only hope that Wildshadow doesn’t kill KC before she is able to reach her.
"Ooooh, MASTER!!!! Where are you?!?!" she squeals, sucking down a mountain dew and rushing with Starstalker through the dark hallways.
Aquatica appears out of nowhere, grinning at EDP and Starstalker. "Need some
help?" she says. "Evil should assist evil, after all."
=====
Meanwhile, Bouncy appears in a flash of blue light in front of Peace.
"Excuse me for this interruption, but I came as soon as I could. I've been
looking for Aquatica, and I don't know where she's disappeared to. But I'd
be more than happy to help free KC and Obi-Wan. I know what it's like to be
a captive."
EDP looks at her strangely. "Wow, ok. You and Starstalker find KC and Obi wan." She tosses Aquatica a Mountain Dew. "Here you might need this."
Starstalker looks at her, having the feeling of being pushed off. "Where are YOU going?"
EDP only smiles nicely. "I have a little business to take care of..."
Aquatica shrugs. "Not a problem," she says, "But someone else can have the
Mountain Dew. I don't drink anything with caffeine. It makes me hyper."
She grins, then throws it to Starstalker and motions for her to follow.
EDP looks aghast, but then thinks that Aquatica must be Bouncy's alter ego or something....
She goes the opposite way of the 2 sith kids and flies like a bolt of lightening through the dark and intimidating hallways. The walls around her begin to shudder, and she skids to a stop as a piercing wail shatters the air. The whole base seems to be shaking, and EDP knows that something is coming.....
Starstalker sets the MD on a nearby table "Mountain Dew is ucky.." She grins
at Aquatica. "Why exactly are we looking for Kc anyhow?.."
"You are looking because I TOLD you to" Starstalker hears EDP growl in her head. "I would like a WORD with the woman...."
And the laugh that accompanies it sends shivers up Starstalkers spine....
Aquatica looks up at the building, vaguely interested. "Might want to hurry
up, Starstalker. It looks as though something slightly odd is about to
happen." Aquatica turns to Starstalker, confused. "I'm not sure. Something
to do with EDP, I think." She shrugs, then says, "Maybe we want to get out
of here. It feels like the building's about to collapse."
"Geeze calm down, EDP! I was just WONDERING!" Starstalker laughs. The base
shakes once again as she and Aquatica continue their search.
Aquatica shrugs, then continues on. "I'm telling ya, if we don't find her
soon we'll have to leave without her. Although Jedi make good prisoners."
She tilts her head, listening. "Although I think I can pick up on her
location. Follow me." She heads off, pausing occasionally.
As Wildshadow was wreaking havoc on the building, then she burst through
the floor in front of EDP. Wildshadow stops and looks around, she found EDP
just in front of her, she growls at her and is advancing . . .
EDP stares at the evil form of her Padawan rising before her, grimacing some.... "Oh boy---" she yelps, and jumps back as Wildshadow takes a swing at her. "Wildshadow!!! You're going to kill me and everyone in this building!!!!" she shrieks. Wildshadow takes a particular liking to that idea and rams her head into the roof, bringing it collapsing down around them....
"EDP!!!!!!!!" Starstalker yells, hearing her friend’s shriek in her mind.
"Aquatica, we have to find EDP..."Starstalker starts at a mad gallop down the
dark hall.
Aquatica looks at Starstalker. "No problem, but we'll have to forget finding
KC then. Unless you want to help her and let me find Kc. . . .although my
powers might come in handy." Aquatica looks at Starstalker expectantly.
Starstalker keeps going, but turns around as she runs "Come on, I’ll probably
need some help. Wildshadow is going crazy!"
EDP senses the absolute chaos and begins to feel demon urges brimming up in her dead little heart. It was a little more than she thought she would have to deal with, and was certainly ready to give KC a large, DARK piece of her mind.... Sith Trainees were completely unreliable at best and an evil demon padawan was no cake walk.... She’s had it...
"WILDSHADOW YOU LISTEN!!!!!!" She screams. "NO MORE GAMES, YOU HEAR??!!?!?!?!?! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!!!!"
Aquatica grins. "Crazy, I can handle." She suddenly disappears, bringing
Starstalker with her, then appearing by EDP. "Need help?" Aquatica says,
then throws a Shadow Net over Wildshadow to try to catch her.
Wildshadow dodges the net and puts shield around her. She glares at all of
them and is about to blast them into bits, but she stops for a minute . . .
"Ugh.." Starshadow mutters.. "I always forget about my powers.."
Lady Maul appears in front of Wildshadow.
"I've had enough of you're destruction" "either leave or her a hold of yourself"
"Or...."
"We end this now" *rests hoof on lightsaber
Wildshadow jumps back a little when lady maul appears but over comes the
surprise fast. She then looks at all of them and then growls a deep, demonic
growl. And then all of a sudden she blasts energy all around them. It
didn't hurt the 4 in font of her but it does knock them down and sends them a
little ways from her. The good side of Wildshadow had just got a spell on
the blast to make sure it didn't kill any living thing just in time before it
was sent out. The only thing it did was destroy some of the walls and
ceiling around them. When she was done with that blast, she let out this
loud, long, horrific howl/wail. And then looked around and saw the shadows
disappear and in the place of them, she saw 4 ponies and a demolished
hallway. After seeing them, she said to herself *What is going on here?
Did I do this? But I thought I was just fighting in my head and now just had
enough energy to put 'half' of the evil away? hmmmm?* And then with an evil
grin, *To bad I wasn't 'all here' when I did this, I would have had more
fun!! Destroying things rules!* After thinking that, she thought she was a
little bit tall and shrunk down some (she is still taller than the others).
Then she looked at the 4 ponies in front of her and sees that they are
standing there, 3 with their sabers in hoof, and 1 with her magic, ready to
fight or kill her. She jumps back from them and puts another shield around
her. Then Wildshadow stares at them (she is on all fours, claws extended, has
her back arched, dragon/bat wings spread out, her sharp teeth bared, and
curved horn glowing), waiting for what they're going to say or do so she can
defend herself better . . .
Lady Maul:
"That’s better, keep your self under control and I won't either send you back or Kill you."
"Though that did depend mostly on what mood either I or my husband was in at the time."
"though my last threat still stands."
"now... What do you 2 intend to do?"
"I Need to speak with my apprentice before I do anything more."
"StarStalker, come with me"
Leaves EDP and Wildshadow alone in wrecked hall.
Aquatica yawns. "Great, Lady Maul doesn't even notice me. Thank you!" she
calls after her. "What am I, chopped liver now?" she mutters.
"Yeah we're all chopped liver," EDP mutters. "And I am tired of playing this game! Let's get the hell out of here." She leaps on Wildshadows shoulders and ducks her head as Wildshadow leaps into the air, crashing down the remains of the roof and ascending into the level above. Looking back through the hole she calls down to Aquatica. "Come on!!!" she shouts, laughing, gesturing for the pony to join them. Wildshadow, half in a right mind again and liking the thoughts streaming out of EDP's twisted head, goes along with her plans and they soar through the base until they reach the open hangar.
"There..." EDP grins, and points. Sitting alone, bathed in pale white light, is the Sith Infiltrator. Maul's prized possession. "Not for much longer," EDP mutters, and they race for the ship. THere are few troops guarding the thing, having been scattered to repairs of the damage Wildshadow had done. EDP takes them out easily, stunning them long enough for them to get on board. EDP powers up the craft, crowing with glee, and flies it out of the hangar and into the night sky.
Aquatica grins evilly. "A pony after my own mind, how wonderful!" She
spreads her dragon wings and curls up on a plush sofa on the inside of the
ship. "Now this is the life!" she exclaims.
EDP offers a toothy grin and calls back: "Don’t get too comfy, girlie!!! This joy ride is gonna get real nasty REAL quick!!!!!!"
Maul has soldiers pursuing in Tie fighters. EDP loves the challenge and takes out half of the vehicles in one turn around. "WOO-HOO!!!!!!" she screams, blasting ships apart with laser fire. Its the most fun she’s had since being padawan......
Reminded of being Padawan, EDP suddenly thinks of the hostage she meant to take. "Whoops," she giggles, and leaps from the helm. She grabs two very unhappy magic ponies and crams them together in a escape pod. The door slams shut and she waves buh-bye as it jettisons them over board. EDP returns to the helm, shaken by laser fire, and covers the pod as it descends to whatever planet looms below them.
And then EDP hits self destruct.....
Aquatica turns to Wildshadow. "Demon ponies can be such show-offs," she says
with a grin, then transports EDP into the escape pod. "Y'know, it might be
easier if we were all in the escape pod together, instead of landing at
different places," she says to the pony with slightly crispy hair.
The escape pod crashes heavily into the dirt, and Aquatica looks around. The
building is nowhere in sight. "Wrong landing place," she mutters, then tunes
in to KC's thoughts and transports them all into her cell.
"AQUATICA!!!!" EDP screams. "You're AWESOME!!!" She plants a fat kiss on Aquatica's cheek, and the dragon-pony smacks her off, growling evil things under her breath...
EDP then turns to KC and Obi Wan Kenobi. "Hey guys...." she grins, stalking up to them in a wide circle. They both look exhausted, pale, and a little thinner. "What are they feeding you in this place? Water and water soup?"
KC looks at her with desperate, pleading eyes, uncertain where her former Padawan's loyalties rested. EDP smiles shrewdly and turns to Aquatica. "Can you get us ALL out of this rat trap before it caves in on us?" she asks. "Preferably somewhere FAR away from here...... I don’t want to be so close by when Maul finds out what I did to his ship..." she giggles. "Plus we'll have an upper hand." She sneers and hisses: "HOSTAGES....."
Aquatica grins, looking at the two tired ponies. "Most certainly. How about
the other end of the galaxy? It's not a problem at all! What's space,
anyway?"
She closes her eyes, and the 5 of them are standing in a lush garden by a
mansion-like building. "This is where I spend my off-hours," she explains.
"Not only is it at the other end of the galaxy, it's slightly out of faze
with the rest of the universe. And I have a large supply of MD and chocolate
pudding, for guests. I don't eat the stuff myself."
EDP looks far more delighted than sane.... "YEEEEEEEEE-HAW!!!!" she squeals in pure Red neck fashion. She settles in on a posh couch and pops the tab of a ice cold mountain dew. "Man, Aquatica am I glad I met you."
She directs a lazy stare at KC and Obi Wan, who both look confused out of their poor little minds. "Hey!" she grins wickedly. "Relax, you two love-birds!! Pull up a chair! Have a dew!!!" She flings a can at them, and Obi-wan catches it in his fist. Glaring at EDP, he squeezes the can until it explodes in his fist. EDP looks mildly impressed.
Aquatica raises an eyebrow at Obi-Wan. "Y'know, for just being rescued from
certain doom, you're not very thankful. You could always go back, of
course." Aquatica shrugs, then sits on a couch and grabs a bag of rice cakes.
OOC: Bleh! Don't know how she could eat those things. . .
Peace:
OOC: LOL. I think they taste like styrofoam
OOC: -shudders-
Bouncy looks up at the ceiling of the building. "Peace, I think this place
is about to collapse. . . . we might want to get out of here!!"
EDP stares at her as if she's a Jar-Jar. "Bleh!!! How can you eat those things!!!" ;)
EDP sucks down some pudding and nods thoughtfully. "I got it.... you are one of those health food ponies.... Tofu Pony, right?" EDP giggles maniacally. Aquatica flings a rice cake at her and knocks her clear off the couch.
Obi wan looks at them oddly. "You mean you aren’t going to hurt us?" He wipes his hands on his robe.
EDP looks at him funny. "HURT you?!" she squeals. "You ingrate!!!! I might just for saying that!!!!" and she starts giggling again. She picks up the rice cake. "Personally, they taste like CARD BOARD!!!!"
Peace:
Wait a minute... I thought they destroyed Maul's ship???
"We destroyed Maul's base AND ship..." EDP tells Peace's mind with the utmost in glee....
Aquatica stares in disgust at the MD in EDP's hand. "Ah, yes, and MD tastes
like chemical sewage. Believe me, I've had the unfortunate luck to eat
some." She shakes her head. "Yes, rice cakes don't have a taste. But I can
never find a good steak when I want one." Her tiger tail sways as she
approaches Obi-Wan. "Nah, I couldn't send you back. You're too cute."
OOC: Obi-Wan? Cute? ROTFL!!!
OOC: They did, not Bouncy. She's still standing there, waiting for Peace to
answer her. BTW, is it possible to twiddle hooves?
EDP squeals, having heard Aquatica's last thought... :)
"Hey you let my future father in law alone!!!!" she grins. She shakes up a mountain dew and aims it precisely at Aquatica. "And CALL IT SEWAGE AGAIN!!!!!!!" she threatens, giggling shamelessly. "Oh by the way..." EDP drawls as Aquatica advances to kick her in the rear... "You wanna get Peace and Bouncy outa Maul's base before they all get killed too? I guess they wanted to be heroes or something...." she yawns and stretches.
Kc smacks Obi-Wan in the chest playfully. " EDP Hurt, US?!? U kidding me? By the way, where the hell are we? " She looks around. A dark blue pony pounds through a door, Kc stances like the superstitious Jedi she is, then laughs and smiles at a plaster, dirt covered boy pony.
" Corwin! " EDP squeals, she sits up and sips her Mountain Dew, Corwin seeing Kc and Obi-Wan are ok, looks longingly at the Mountain Dew EDP holds. EDP grins like a mad pony. " Want one? " She tosses him one and he stands on his hindlegs and lifting his head breaks the can in half so it all goes in at once. EDP chuckles and pushes a half empty box toward him, pulling a full one closer. Kc laughs so hard she falls down. Corwin looks at her,
" Im thirsty and a little addicted, " EDP's eyebrows raise, " YES I’m addicted. What’s so funny? " Kc laughs harder, Obi-Wan adds a chuckle.
" Yo.. you.. you’re covered in dirt and plaster and gulping down Mountain Dew. "
" I am? " He trots to a mirror and Laughs " So I am. " EDP laughs her demonic way and throws an arm around him,
" Its kinda cute. " Kc laughs harder.
"oooooooh, Dirty DIRTY Corwin!!" EDP smiles luridly.... "Methinks we otter get a room..."
Aquatica shrugs. "I suppose I can." Bouncy and Peace appear in the mansion.
"Hiya Bounce!" Aquatica says with a grin. "Fought any good Sith lately?"
Bouncy growls at Aquatica, then leaps at her. Aquatica is knocked over, but
manages to catch Bouncy in a cage. "Nice try, but not nearly good enough.
Don't mess with a master of shadows."
EDP was so excited to get some MD and pudding, that she and the others
didn't see that Wildshadow went off in the other direction of the house. She
wanted to be alone for a while and try to rest outside. She only got to lay
down for a few minutes before listening to them talking about rice cakes and
MD, which made her hungry. Wildshadow got up and went into the house to
where all the ponies were and asked "Do you have anymore rice cakes? Or did
you guys throw them all?" When they first heard her speak and saw her body,
all of them cringed a little because her voice was still sounding demonic and
her body was still intimidating. She looked at them and wondered why they
were staring at her like that. She talked to herself with that voice and
kind of jumped herself. *Man do i sound demonic. but i kind of like that
voice! and to bad i can't see all of my body at the same time.* she thought
to herself with an evil grin on her face. Then she fixed her voice but not
her body and asked again "So can i have some rice cakes or not? I love them!
Especially the plain ones that are unsalted!!! YUMMY!!" "Oh yeah, can i
have a DP or a Sprite too? Or maybe some water? huh?"
Lady Maul:
"YOU BLEW UP MY SHIP" Blares through the remaining com stations.
A super Star Destroyer comes out of hyper space right over the base..
Opens fire.
"Whew!" EDP wipes her brow, sensing a disturbance in the force. "Good thing we got off Maul's base when we did!!! I think the rest of it got blown to hell...." she shrugs. "Gee.... I hope JD Starstalker's ok..."
Lady Maul:
"cease fire, they're gone"
Turns to StarStalker standing next to her
"they escaped again my Apprentice, We'll get them next time"
"We couldn't allow any of the information left in that base to reach the Jedi,
It would NOT be good to have them know what we know, not good at all"
Dark Knight turns from the former base and jumps into hyper space leaving the
former base in ruins and smoldering.
"Soon Jedi it will be your base in ruins and burning, soon"
Well that was more fun than a barrel of monkeys! Wanna join the fun and be ready for the next adventure? Join the Jedi Academy!! And tell 'em EDP sent ya...
