"Hail Brother Ant." SHEEPY said. "What does thou bring us in this time of woe?"
"Hail Brother." Ant replied. "I bring news of a game."
"What game is this you speak of?" Said I.
"It is the one true game. The one that will bind us all." Ant reached into his sack, and withdrew thy press release.
"It is what I've always dreamed of, and yet, my dreams never seem so real." Said I.
"It is of true beauty." Said Ant.
"An online RPG?" Inquired Snipe. "What's so good about an online RPG?"
Ant and I gave Snipe an evil look.
"You do not see the whole picture, misguided one." I remarked.
"Certainly not." Ant stared at the game again. "Lord Lucas would not be pleased to hear of such blasphemy."
"Lord Lucas? What the hell are you lot blabbing on about anyway?"
"Behold. The Star Wars Online RPG is being developed, and you can now sign up for the beta testing."
"I shall not wait to do so. Goodbye gentlemen." Said I.
Snipe continued to argue with Ant and Sheepy well into the night, until Ant withdrew his +5 attack Lightsaber, and Sheepy attacked Snipe with his +15 force grip.
He takes the guards gun and tip toes through the corridors, until he hears a distant noise of heavy breathing.....'oh no' sniper said to himself.
The third man, Grix, dreamt of times past. He dreamt of his childhood, his toys, his life, his father...
His father was a jedi, and like many jedi's, he was a good jedi, one filled with the light side of the force.
He remembered, in his dream, about one time that he went to play pool with his father, and they had mock lightsaber battles with the cues...
Suddenly, the dream stopped.
Grix was standing in a large hall. The walls were painted with the royal colours, red and gold... The windows were immaculately cleaned, and the floor not only gave him his shadow, but his reflection as well.
The walls began to shake, small pieces of debris crumbled around him...
Windows shattered, and were seemingly replaced by broken wooden boards, the floor became dull, and cracked...
Sniper appeared.
"We are alone." Sniper said.
Grix stood opposite Sniper. "You are dead."
"I live after death, and I yet may survive. I speak to you through sleep, but I may also be awake."
Grix got annoyed. "Stop talking rubbish. What do you mean?"
"You trust a friend that means you no harm, but he will cause you harm as his own life is too precious to him."
Grix questioned Sniper "What friend?"
"One that has been close to you throughout your life. One you have known since the start."
"Who! Tell me!"
"Someone you have known THROUGHOUT. That is all that I can say."
Sniper faded away.
Meanwhile, the other men had woken up.
"What the hell do you think he's dreaming about?" Said Ant, nursing the bump on his head.
"SHUT UP IN THERE!" Called a voice from outside their cell...
The cell door opened. Dan landed on Darkness.
"Ow."
"Sorry."
"You betrayed us!" Said Ant. "You must die."
"I had no choice, Sheepy was here before you arrived! If you let me help you, I could help you escape..."
"Humm..." Ant nodded. "Ok, what's your plan?"
Grix woke up startled, and shouted: "WE'RE ALL IN MORTAL DANGER!"
"Catches on quick, doesn't he?" Said FM.
They had in fact held a large amount of them one large area...Tattoine.
He was in trouble, everyone thought he was dead, they had already planned a funeral for him.
Deep inside the Prison Land.......
Cloud City approuched. After the accident on Hoth, they had decided to try and get away from it all, and decided to take a vaction to the most incredible city in the world... That wasn't under Imperial rule.
The Millenium Ant was heading to land at docking bay 6, after a rough entry.
"They didn't seem to want to let us in, did they?"
Ant seemed preoccupied on a radio, trying to explain *why* exactly that the Millenium Ant had shot down five craft on the way in...
"It's not our fault! They flew towards us in with a mean look on them!"
"They were pleasure yachts! They had the gentle folk that had managed to escape from Alderran!" Shouted the reply...
"But they managed to land alright? Didn't they?"
"They took out three more yachts on their way down! You have managed to singularly wipe out a devestated planets population!"
The heroes landed.
"Not much of a welcome party." Said Darkness.
A door opened on the west side of the dock, a man walked through with a long cape, which dragged down to his side.
"Dan_Uk!" Grix shouted! "Where did you go? Did you get our note?"
"Yes." Dan_Uk seemed reluctant to talk. "I did."
"Step inside please." Dan_Uk said, with a grimace on his face.
With that, he chuckled to himself and sped off into the sunset on his snowspeeder.
