>You approach the planet and transmit the proper clearance codes prior to landing in the academy hanger.
>As you navigate in through the hanger bay doors, you notice that it is mostly barren, save for only a few of the ships that are reserved for non-combat purposes.
>After landing in the appropriate section and powering down the ship, you step outside and make for the archives.
>There is a new purpose in your head, one that is all too clear, but first you need to resolve one last loose end.
>Upon entering the academy's archives, you proceed to the primary computer and search for any and all information relating to Mestare; its location and otherwise.
>Doing this yields several results, but it appears that Scorpan never added the information from your ship's navicomputer to the archives.
>Likely to keep it all to himself, then.
>All for the better.
>As you leave the archives, you sense a dark presence approaching the academy: Scorpan's ship, right on time for a date with destiny.
>Your mind is clear and unclouded by doubt, fear or worry as you walk towards the hanger to meet with him.
>When the doors open and you lay your eyes upon him, he looks at you and smiles.
>Two of his attendants lurk behind him, hooded and faceless.
>"Nito," he greets you with a grin. "I did not expect to find you here so early."
Almost as an afterthought, you bow before him. "I was just returning from the archives, my master."
>"Ah, depositing the holocrons from the Jedi Archives? Good. Those holocrons are likely all that remains of the Jedi Order!"

I've waited so long, and it has paid off. Glad to have you back Sarge.

>Uproarious laughter follows his statement as he clutches his side.
>He walks past you and you take up position behind him, with his attendants behind you.
"I left after my mission was complete, my master. But not before making contact with Inquisitor Adagio in the archives and assisting her in her tasks."
>"Nevermind that. The Jedi Temple is no more! The Jedi are no more!" he exclaims with glee you thought he would only exhibit during torture. He sounds positively elated. "And it was I, alone, who dealt the death blow to Grand Master Celestia!"
>His words, the way he walks, the wicked joy in his tone all make it clear that he is gorged on his own ego.
>"A shame that the Force Hunters appeared and ruined an otherwise flawless attack," Scorpan muses. "We will need those mestarian crystals from your vessel, Nito."
"Of course, my lord."
>As he approaches the door leading to the main hall, he stops and turns halfway to look at you. "How many Jedi did you kill?"
"I managed to execute several of the younger initiates, but the masters eluded me."
>"No matter," he smiles. "Enough of their council was killed on the field of battle. Undoubtedly many more died in the temple, to Sith or Force Hunter alike."
>He opens the door and strides into the main hall, clasping his hands together.
>"Great things are in the works, Nito! Fantastic things! When the Emperor learns that Lord Tirek failed to kill Celestia, and that I was the one to accomplish this task, he will undoubtedly reward me greatly!"
"I can only imagine, my lord."
>Scorpan pauses to look up the great steps to Tirek's office, undoubtedly imagining himself in his master's place.

>"The Force Hunters put a dent in our plans, but no matter. Coruscant is in chaos, the Republic Navy is scattered, half of the Senate was wiped out---and the Jedi! The Jedi and their temple are gone!"
"My lord, perhaps some could have escaped?" you point out
>He shrugs it off. "No matter. The council is broken without Celestia. All that remains are the Force Hunters, and if my intelligence is to be correct, most of them were buried with the Jedi Temple when it fell!"
>Again he laughs, the bothan stopping only after shaking his head and wiping his eyes.
>"I must say, I never thought a day such as this could make me so... happy."
'Then you will die happy,' you think.
>Scorpan composes himself. "I think there is only one further thing that can truly make this occasion, Nito." He looks back at you and continues, "The Jedi you slew; they died in combat?"
"They did."
>"Honorable ends, but not innocent ones," he muses. "I think, now that you have proven your devotion and loyalty, that it is time for you to face your final challenge before I name thee a true Sith."
"I stand ready, my master."
>Scorpan looks at his two attendants. "Fetch the prisoners for the Sacrifice."
>They both bow and leave.
>The bothan looks upon you with a face that seems almost proud.
>More for himself than for you, of course.
>"Ah, we've come a long way, haven't we Nito?"
>He approaches and places a hand on your shoulder, taking a deep, reflective breath.
>"This is the beginning of a new era, heralded by the Sith. Our Empire shall finally know true domination of the galaxy. Think of it, Nito---every planet, every people, subject to one rule, one ruler. We have paved the way for the end of the corrupt Republic and its mewling senators, the end of the Jedi and their foolish doctrines. The Force will soon be plagued no more by the Jedi, and the Sith will take our rightful place as rulers of the galaxy."

>You are silent as he removes his hand and takes a few steps up the staircase, his back turned towards you.
>With your hand on your lightsaber, you think about striking him down, but now is not the time.
>He may be high on himself, but he could still very well sense such an attack coming.
>No, you need him to open himself up to attack, to wait for the right moment to strike.
>For he is going to die on this day: you have foreseen it.
>And it will be by your lightsaber that he falls.
>He turns around and looks down at you, staring into your eyes.
>Slowly, his smile fades and his brow furrows slightly.
>"Tell me, Nito, where is Maud?"
>You do not reply, but keep your hand on your lightsaber in its holster.
>"She left with you, and was with you in the temple, was she not?"
"She was, my lord."
>"And where is she now?"
"All around us," you reply. "She has become one with the Force."
>He blinks as a subtle, suspicious shift in his face slowly takes form.
>"And just what is that supposed to mean?"
"It was she who destroyed the Jedi Temple. She used her power to move earth upon the mountain within its base, crippling the supports of the temple. This destroyed the temple, and buried the Force Hunters along with herself."

>"And why would she do this?" he asks, his voice sharp and growing sharper with each word.
"Because she had come to hate the Sith. She hated everything about them: their traditions, their treatment of lesser beings. As a slave once herself, she decided to not become a Sith, to not become what she hated the most."
>When Scorpan is silent, you decide to continue.
"And she did this so that I could escape from the Force Hunters, after I helped the remaining Jedi survive their attack."
>"Nito..." he growls, his eyes growing wide. "You will address me properly. Now explain yourself!"
"Of course, my master. After I destroyed the holocrons you had sent me to capture, I fought Inquisitor Adagio and her underlings. I then fought Coco and defeated her; she left the battle and killed no more Jedi. I reunited with all of my friends and ensured their survival by giving them the crate of mestarian crystals, and once they were free from the temple, Maud sacrificed herself so that we could all escape."
>You almost wish you had a camera, for the look upon his face is priceless.
>Visibly trembling with rage, Scorpan reaches into his pocket and takes out the remote, pointing it at your head.
>But he does not press the button.
>Instead, his hand shaking in fury, he snarls, "You... You have no friends!"
"I have many, and though I could not save all of them, I saved enough of them."
>The Sith Lord seems almost ready to explode as he shouts, "You think I will forgive this, Nito?!"
>But you are not afraid of him, nor of his remote.
"I don't give a damn what you forgive, my lord. I care neither for your approval nor judgment."
>"I hold your life in my hands!" he shouts. "You dare disobey my commands? You dare spit in my face and assume I will swallow these insults?!"
Unwavering, unyielding, you stare him down. "I dare."
>He takes a step down, still pointing the remote at your head.

>"Insolent, pathetic, arrogant fool! I created you! You only live because of me! Each breath you take is mine! Every second you exist is because I allow it! I am your master, and you are my slave!"
"I was never your slave, and I never will be. You failed."
>"I did not fail!" he all but screams, the veins on his neck and forehead bulging. "You are my tool, my weapon! I created you and I can just as easily destroy you!"
"Killing me means only that you have failed to control me."
>"Oh, is that what you think?!" He descends the last few steps to stand only a few yards in front of you. "I have always been your superior! My power is vast, far greater than your own! I am a Sith Lord, and I slew Grand Master Celestia!"
"You stabbed her in the back like a coward."
>"She fell to MY blade and MY blade alone!" he retorts. "I don't need a lightsaber to control you. I have THIS!"
>He shakes his remote-holding hand again, threatening to push the button.
>"Do you think me so cowardly that I will not push this, Nito? That I will not end your life in an instant?! You will obey, or I will annihilate you where you stand!"
>At that moment, the doors at the side of the room open up.
>You turn your head to the side and see who the attendants have fetched for Scorpan's ritual.
>It is as you foresaw in the mountain: Flash and Noteworthy, their hands bound in metal mag-cuffs.
>Flash has been their prisoner for a while now, and it shows upon his body.
>His flesh is pale from lack of light and he seems thinner from lackluster portions of food.

>Scars and bruises from torture sessions and interrogations have left a map upon his body, but one look at his face tells you that he was never broken.
>Even now, as he is forced to walk forward, he carries himself with dignity and strength.
>Noteworthy, comparatively, was a prisoner for a much shorter period of time but is much worse for wear.
>Without Flash's fortitude or faith, he broke easily.
>His face is streaked with tears and he is wounded, walking with his head bowed slightly.
>Flash approaches his doom without fear, but Noteworthy is already begging to be let go.
>They have to prod him with electric batons to get him to move up.
>You stare into Flash's eyes as he sees you.
>"Anon..." he mutters, almost surprised.
>"Please, I didn't mean it!" Noteworthy cries out as he is forced to his knees on your right while Flash is marched to your left. "I didn't mean any of it! Honestly!"
>You look down at the chagrian, who stares up at you.
>"Anon, please, you have to help me. Make them understand that I---"
>"SILENCE!" Scorpan shouts, and the attendant prods him again to make it so.
>The other one forces Flash onto his knees, so they are both made to kneel alongside you.
>Scorpan looks at them both, then at you.
>He holds up the remote.
>"Now listen well, Nito... I AM IN COMMAND! I am the one in control! You are nothing, do you understand? NOTHING!"
>He shouts, spittle flying from his muzzle as he looks at you with burning eyes.
>"You are going to obey, or you will DIE! You are my tool, and that means you are a tool of the Dark Side! You have no choice but to obey!"
>"Please!" Noteworthy again cries out, but Scorpan again shouts at him to be quiet, which earns him another beating with the electro-stick.

>He turns his attention back to you. "The only thing in your future is the Dark Side, Nito. I am your master, and that means you will be Sith! Now take out your lightsaber."
>You do nothing.
>He holds up his hand, threateningly keeping his thumb over the detonator. "I SAID TAKE OUT YOUR LIGHTSABER!"
>You slide it out of your holster and hold it, but do not activate it.
>The Sith Lord lowers the remote, but keeps it pointed forward.
>"Good little droid," he mutters. "You will not forsake your own life, I see, no matter how defiant you are... I was right. You will need more tinkering in the lab. Even if I need to replace your entire body and have you as nothing more than a brain in a jar, SO BE IT! You are mine, and you will OBEY!"
>Scorpan is silent for a moment as he fumes, taking deep breaths.
>Alongside you, Flash sits stoically, maintaining his composure, while Noteworthy softly weeps on the other side.
>The Sith Lord straightens, though he is still gritting his teeth hard enough to snap durasteel in half, before he clears his throat and speaks.
>"Now, then... The Sacrifice."
"I already know what it is."
>"You will not interrupt!" he shouts back. "It is a Sith tradition: the taking of an innocent life. Not soldiers in war, nor mercenaries hired to kill, nor pirates looking for murder, nor Jedi dying in battle. Truly innocent lives who cannot defend themselves, who cannot fight back!"
>He points at Flash and Noteworthy.

>"You will destroy an innocent life, and let the Dark Side change you! You will know the Dark Side, or you will be destroyed yourself!"
You look at each of them, then at him. "And which would you like me to destroy?"
>"I don't care," he says. His face changes a bit then, as if struck by inspiration. "But, how would you like your torture and procedure after this ceremony to proceed? Terrifying or terrifyingly brutal? If you would prefer the latter, kill both of them to please me."
"You are too kind, my lord."
>He immediately flies into a fury and all but screams at you, "Stand there and spit insults all you like! You only have a choice because I allow it to be so!"
>As you stare him down, you think about how much of a simpleton he now seems.
>The bothan, normally so composed and so in control, has been reduced to nothing but anger and rage.
>A Sith he may be, but at his core, when you take away what he thinks he has control over, he cannot maintain his bearing.
>All his power, all his posturing, all his superiority, it all fades when confronted with something he cannot control.
>This must have been what he was like after losing Sunset as an apprentice, and why he was so intent on controlling you through artificial means.
>As you witness him spitting and stomping, holding the remote that represents your death in his hand and keeping his thumb merely centimeters above the detonator, you are stricken with how little reverence he inspires as a Sith Lord.
>You stand here now, unafraid, with a clearer purpose than he ever could have instilled within you.
>As you are calm and he is raging, now would be a good time to strike.
>But the situation is treacherous...
>As angry as he is, his focus is still squarely upon you and there is a chance he could see the attack coming.
>If so, then you will die.

Whoops, ignore that

>The choice he has laid out to you must seem, to him, like a very simply one: kill one, kill both, or die.
>But you can already see the illusion there, for there are at least two more choices, and even then the choices only grow more complex when you reflect on them.
>To you, time seems to crawl slowly to a near stand-still, and you realize that this is the moment.
>Luna foresaw this, as did you.
>This is the Shatterpoint.
>It's strange... you had anticipated this moment, prepared for it, but now that you are here it is almost overwhelming.
>This moment, this choice, it represents the end of your journey up until now and the beginning of a new one.
>These seconds are your final moments as the person you have been up until this moment, for the choice you make now will change you.
>Time, like a single rope, is uncoiling into threads.
>Each thread winds outward from the same source, but is completely distinct from the others.
>And, the more you think about it, the more you come to realize that you have five choices in this moment.
>Five threads, five paths, five futures.
>But only one choice can be made.
>What are these five choices, then?
>Death, while lingering beyond each other option, is something you could choose.

>What would happen if you simply refused his offer?
>He would probably kill you, but the despair and frustration he would experience upon realizing his failure to control you, his failure as a master, would drive him to nearly unprecedented levels of self-destruction.
>Even if he were to raise the remote and destroy you, another could rise up and take your place to strike him down.
>Such as Flash.
>You look at him now, your fellow Padawan and friend, and wonder if he could still fight.
>He has stayed strong through his connection with the Force, uncompromising in his dedication to both the Jedi and the light.
>Even now, as he kneels and faces his possible death, he does not flinch.
>Flash's eyes stray upwards and meet yours, and there is no hatred in them, no fear.
>His breathing is calm and steady.
>If you were to fall, or if you were to attack Scorpan, could you rely on him for support?
>Memories of your time together with him play in your mind.
>You recall how headstrong and abrasive he was when you were first brought together on Yavin 4.
>How angry he was when you spoke with him before your match in the tournament.
>The fierce duel you two shared, and his defeat at your hands.
>Then, his change, as he came to accept you when you both became Padawans under Master Luna.
>He was there when you killed Coco's father, in order to save Flash's life.
>He was there when you faced a Force Hunter on Nar Shadda.
>And when you revealed yourself to him, when you showed him who Nito truly was, you remember how he reacted.
>He was disappointed in you, for perhaps the first time in your relationship.
>Because he had stayed true, while you had strayed from the light.
>And now here you stand, contemplating freeing him and risking both of your lives... or taking his.
>You recall well the words of the spirit on Mestare, the vision you experienced there.

>If you do not take a life here, you will not know the Dark Side, and you will not find balance.
>What would happen if you freed your fellow Padawan and attacked Scorpan?
>When he falls, what is left?
>The light.
>But then the question remains: can you defeat Scorpan?
>You have foreseen it, foreseen him dying at the end of your lightsaber, but can it be achieved by yourself?
>What if you want to achieve balance, but do not want to kill Flash?
>That leaves another option.
>You look over at Noteworthy now, and you cannot help but pity him.
>Running from both the Jedi and the Sith, being tortured inwardly by the former and physically by the latter, has taken its toll on him.
>He was always somewhat frail, in body and spirit.
>Nervous and self-conscious, and very aware of both.
>You recall saving his life on Ilum, and how grateful he was for it.
>In a way, he began to idolize you for it.
>You wonder if you leaving the Jedi was what inspired him to do the same.
>How must he have felt when he tried to sneak out, but was not confronted by anyone else on the way out?

>He got along with the others at the temple, but were you the only one he considered a friend?
>In breaking his vows to the Jedi, he sought power from the Sith, but he couldn't stomach their ways.
>And then, when he found out who you were, he tried to convince you to come with him.
>At the time, when you felt lost, you made the decision to take him to your master.
>An action you can now only regret as you look upon his hurt form.
>Or can you?
>Noteworthy could be your path to balance.
>His role, throughout all of this, could be that he is the key to freeing yourself from the bonds of the Sith.
>You could slay him, which would disarm Scorpan and think that you are falling in line, before freeing Flash.
>Then you both could take on the unprepared Sith Lord.
>But as you look upon Noteworthy now, can you honestly say that you are ready to take his life?
>The Sacrifice is not so much about the life you take, but what you give up of yourself.
>Flash is facing his potential death with dignity and without fear, but Noteworthy is very much afraid.
>He looks up at you now, silently begging to not be killed.
>But if you spare him, what future will he have?
>If he does survive, you could make amends with him for putting him through this torture and simply let him go, as he intended to before.
>Perhaps, if Braeburn yet lives, you can free him as well and send them both on their way.
>But there is little question in your mind as to whether or not he can help you fight Scorpan.
>In the condition he is in, he could barely swing a lightsaber.
>If you were to seriously consider killing one of them in order to remain in the grey, another important factor to consider is what impact they will have on the future.
>If Flash survives, he will most likely rejoin the Jedi and remain a warrior for the light, fighting against the Sith and the Force Hunters.

>If Noteworthy survives, he will most likely go off into hiding with Braeburn and not contribute to any of the wars ahead.
>In a way, then, could you justify taking Noteworthy's life as the lesser of two evils?
>Or, to put it more accurately, the lesser of two goods?
>But finding cause in killing either of them is null if you reject the Dark Side, reject the grey, and strive to save them both, either through attacking Scorpan or denying him.
>No… No, listen to yourself.
>You cannot treat these men like commodities!
>How can you possibly choose one life over another?
>Flash is your friend, your brother, your fellow Padawan.
>Noteworthy may have strayed, but you have no right to his judge, jury and executioner.
>Treating either of them like mere things that you need to be rid of in order to obtain balance fundamentally fails to value them as people who matter.
>To take one of their lives, just so you can get something you want, is selfish.
>But if you want to walk the path of balance, you must!
>And yet, there is a fifth option.
>You feel a slight chill creeping up your spine, but remain calm and collected as you consider the implications of it.
>Killing them both.
>Why have just a little taste of the Dark Side, when you can have more of it?

>Even as you think about it, you begin to see the possibilities it could bring.
>If killing only one of them would settle Scorpan, then killing both could truly lull him into a false sense of security.
>He would be so sure of his superiority, of his restored control, that you could destroy him in a moment of pride.
>What's more, the power you could stand to gain from the Dark Side would only be greater the more of it you allow into yourself.
>You could annihilate Scorpan and become even more powerful than you are now---it would only serve to benefit you.
>Yet even still…
>As you think about slaying the others, you recall another factor that will play a big role, regardless of the choice you make.
>Master Luna.
>It was she who first warned you of the Shatterpoint, of this moment, and she will deal with the consequences of your choice as surely as you.
>When this happens, when you make your choice, she will know.
>What kind of choice would she make, if she were in your position?
>How will she react to the choice you do make?
>And Sunset is with her.
>She, too, will have to deal with the consequences of your choice---and so will all of the others.
>The Jedi, Coco, the Sith---everyone will be affected.
>The pressure makes it almost difficult to breathe and it only becomes more constricting.
>The conflict within you builds steadily, getting worse and worse as you consider the consequences of your actions.
>It almost makes you wish you could do nothing, but doing nothing is a choice of its own.

>All you can do is choose.
>As you look up at Scorpan, the Sith Lord's lips slowly unfurl into a nasty snarl.
>Flash's mind is calm, clear, and this allows him to reach out to you and speak through the Force.
>"I forgive you, Anon."
>The words are staggering, and you know that regardless of the choice you make, Flash will bear you no ill will.
>Noteworthy, on the opposite side, cheeks stained with tears, is humming.
>You remember it as the song his mother taught to him; it brings him comfort in this terrifying moment of facing his mortality.
>He hums it now and thinks of her, knowing that she might well be the last thing he ever thinks about.
>You look down at your lightsaber, watching the light play off of its metal surface, thinking about how this will be the instrument of your transformation.
>Closing your eyes, you let go of yourself, seeking answers from the Force.
>You become the focal point of a nexus of time as you contemplate the choice for what feels like an immeasurable amount of moments.
>You see the choices, you have them laid out before you.
>The shadow of the Dark Side hangs over some of them, a few more obscured by it than the others.
>Some are bathed in the light, while some are bathed in grey fog.
>All that you have done, all that you are, has led to this.
>Not even the Force can prolong it any longer.

Hey there.

Sarge here.

I feel compelled to, at this point here at the end, break the flow of things and speak to you, the readers, directly. I don’t normally do this in the context of an update, but I think it’s important now because I’ve been planning on this for a while.

Firstly, just to get it out of the way, I’m sorry for how long this took. A story this long in the making has been both creatively rewarding and frustrating, for me and for you. I won’t spend much time on this part---you know, life happens, excuses, whatever---but I will say that during my breaks from this story to work on other projects, I never forgot about you guys. You’ve made this a wonderful ride from beginning to end and I was always motivated to deliver the green and felt bad when I couldn’t because of how much I love you guys.

Secondly, and this is the very important part, the thing I’ve been building up to up until now, the reason why I’ve spent so long in planning and hiding, working in secret and such: YOU are Anon. You, the person reading this right now, are Anon. You’ve been Anon all along; after all, the story is in second-person perspective. You’ve been Anon since the beginning; you’ve been him during all the ups and downs. Maybe our protagonist hasn’t done everything the way you would have, but none of that matters at this moment, because you’re about to make a choice. The next post contains five choices, with five pastebin links. You’ve read the story, you know what’s at stake. You’re in Anon’s shoes. You decide.

And whatever ending you choose, that’s the one that you stick with. That’s the choice that you made in his place. Even if you go and read the others (which I encourage) you’ll always know, deep down, that when you were faced with this situation, you made the choice you made, and you’ll have to live with it and its consequences, forever, until you die.

No pressure or anything.

Good luck, Anon.

May the Force be with you.

>Kill Them Both
Take both lives. End their suffering! The only way to truly know the Dark Side is to immerse yourself in it. You know this to be true! Make them your strength and use your new power to strike down Scorpan to take revenge for making him kill your allies. Do it! Strike them down, and your training will be complete!
http://pastebin.com/94sUWXN0

>Do Nothing
Refuse. Rise above his threats, his boasts of control. The only one in true control of your destiny is you, and you choose to no longer follow him. Cast aside your lightsaber and stand as an example of his folley. Take away all of his illusions of control. Make him fail. You are not a droid. You are alive. He will never crush your spirit. Remember: There is no death.
http://pastebin.com/vPNR0wdr

>Kill Flash
Take Flash's life. Noteworthy is the more innocent of the two, guilty only of indecision and weakness. Flash upheld his vows to the Jedi Order. More than that, he is willing to sacrifice himself for you. Ending his life would please Scorpan and open him up to attack, but can you truly take his life? And what would Master Luna think of you killing him?
http://pastebin.com/yeCvFvAA

>Kill Noteworthy
Take Noteworthy's life. You must take an innocent life to know the Dark Side. If you do this, you could have Flash help you defeat Scorpan. Noteworthy fled from everything. This moment, this Sacrifice, is not just about you. It is about him as well, for his sacrifice will allow you to free Flash, defeat Scorpan and know the path of balance. But is it worth it?
http://pastebin.com/phAi0BE3

>Attack Scorpan
You feel the Dark Side, hear the commands of the Sith Lord. You will not obey. No more doubt, no more wallowing in darkness, no more fear. You know now what you must do. You fought for your friends at the Jedi Temple, and you will fight for them now! You will not forsake them, you will not take their lives, but you will take the life of this Sith and redeem yourself!

You don't have to apologize, sarge. A lot of us have been here since the first thread, and we're here now. A little break isn't gonna stop us from enjoying the ride we've been on. If anything, we should be thanking you for sticking with us all the way through and finishing this wonderful story.

I love you, dude. Partially homo. You rock.

if there's ever a short epilogue based on this ending, I hope sunset and anon get to be together in the force

>>28540610

I might add an epilogue to it later on. It would help, as all of the non-canon endings are meant to have them.

I hope you liked that one; it's the shortest of the bunch, and I think I could've added more to it, but I think it's effective for what it is.

>>28540738
>all of the non-canon endings are meant to have them.
so it seems that light grey seems to be the canon ending?

>>28540800

Yes. This was planned for some time; my unnamed confidant with whom I planned these endings and I always felt that would be the true ending, were I to ever continue the story.

>>28540852
Now I want to see this as originally intended. Theatric cut, THEATRIC CUT, THEATRIC CUT!

>>28539161
Fuck, just when I forgot this existed.

>>28540940

Well, I assure you that I always planned for multiple endings, but only one would be canon.

After all, what would Star Wars be if there weren't conflicting and competing canons?

>>28541008
That is true. I cant wait to see the epilogue for my choice. 3).>>28539628

>>28541360

Well, I know at least one of the other writers in the chat said he has material ready for the thread, so we have that to look forward to.

I too have written some story while we've been away.
However, I'm not going to post it now since I'd like to add a few more posts worth.

For those who don't know my story can be found in the general pastebin at the beginning of the thread. It's about 150 pages long as of this moment, so if you haven't read it there's plenty to catch up on.
Otherwise, you can read the latest chapter to get a bit of a refresher.

>>28541616

Looking forward to it

>>28541616
I will now dedicate my week to reading your shit, you will have that long to update before I catch up. I cried like a bitch for Sarge and don't regret a second of it. Even though I have no intention of reading or saving the kill them both option.

>>28539359
So, Is the canon ending hidden among them or none of this endings are canon?

I'm the anon who wanted Noteworthy to die like a little bitch since day one btw, but goddamit my hidden "goody-two-shoes" acted today and made me pussy out.

Don't read this shit niggas

huh, I expected a "perish like a dog but be redeemed".Damn I have mixed feelings.

Your story is something I have not experienced in a long time. I been reading since the very beginning. I have patiently waited for your returns. I think about your story through out the day, waiting to come home and read. It has been one hell of an adventure and I enjoyed every moment of it. I greatly look forward to any future writings. If not, thank you for everything and may the force be with you always.

P.S. I have chosen the attack Scorpan ending but I do not have the time to read it tonight. If thread is still up I will leave some more feedback.

“Maybe. We shouldn’t stick around either way. We’ve no doubt drawn unwanted attention to ourselves. Let’s head back and hang low for awhile.” Says Shining Armor.

“She’s stable for now, but if we don’t get her proper medical treatment soon she’s only going to get worse.” Cadence says.

“Not a good idea. If we leave now we’ll never pick up the trail again.” Shining points out.

“No. We need everyone here. Applejack and Scorpan tried tackling this assignment alone and look how they faired. On top of that Master Scorpan is an expert on underground crime syndicates. If he couldn’t handle this then we’re going to need all the manpower we can get.” Cadence argues.

>>28546989

I'd like to write a series of short stories about the various challenges and things they face in the temples. I still have a lot of ideas for them.

Alright, I'm here. Update incoming.

Last time, on Bounty Hunter Anon:
Anon, Sunset, and Pinkie Pie went to Dantooine to provide extra security for Senator Octavia Melody of Naboo. They discovered that another Republic Senator, Hoity Toity, was illegally capturing Kath Hounds, selling them for a profit, and had made plans to assassinate Octavia with a bomb.
They managed to inform The Wonderbolts in time, but only just barely. The bomb went off and killed Spitfire. Octavia survived. All of them are currently on a cruiser back to Naboo. Anon and Sunset have decided that their next move is to assassinate Senator Hoity Toity.

>A couple of hours later, you get the announcement that the Republic cruiser has come out of lightspeed over Naboo.
>And not a moment too soon...
>You all had remained in the medical center's waiting area throughout the trip. Pinkie had fallen asleep.
>You wanted to catch a little rest yourself, but you couldn't stop thinking about Hoity Toity and how deep his corruption could be.
>Sunset could tell that you were deep in thought, but she didn't say anything to you. She never does.
>If you are troubled, or thinking hard about something, she doesn't interrupt your train of thought unless it's urgent. She knows you'll ask her for her input if you need it.
>It works when she's thinking hard about something too. You'll be there if she needs you, but you're not going to pry unless you have to.
>You wanted to talk to her right then, and Pinkie may have been asleep, but you were still on a Republic cruiser, and you were thinking about how you were going to kill a Republic senator.
>Unsurprisingly, the rest of the trip was very quiet.
>So once they announced that you were coming out of lightspeed, you were very relived.
"Finally."
>You stand up walk over to Pinkie. She's hanging her head over the back of her chair and snoring.
"Pinkie, get up. We're here."
>You pat her cheek a few times and she snores herself awake suddenly.
>"Woah-whaa?"
"We're here. Get up."
>"Oh. Okay." She yawns.
>You walk back to your seat and grab your helmet, slipping it on.
>Sunset walks over to you, her helmet on as well.
>"You ready?"

>You step inside the small room and see Octavia laying in a bed and speaking to another one of the guards at her side.
>"...We will be ready to move you to the planet as soon as we touch down, Senator. It will be about five minutes."
>"Thank you very much, officer."
>He gets up and moves past you as he walks out into the hallway.
>Octavia has a few bandages and bruises on her face and arms. She's now wearing a white hospital tunic, and you can see that she has a few more bandages covering a part of her chest.
>Despite this, she smiles softly as she sees you enter.
>"Hello, you three."
"Hello, Senator."
>You and Sunset stand still and Pinkie moves in front of you both.
>"Hiya, Senator! Are you okay? Does anything hurt?"
>She giggles a little. "Yes, Pinkie, I'm alright. Thank you very much for asking."
>Pinkie smiles and moves to stand at your left.
>Octavia taps her thumbs together slowly and her smile fades a bit as she thinks of what to say.
>"I do... greatly appreciate what you all did. Despite going out of line and against regulation, doing so and learning what you did saved more lives that would have been lost otherwise... My own included."
"Just sitting still and waiting for bad stuff to happen doesn't really seem wise to me, Senator. We were just doing our job as best as we could."

>She smiles softly again for a moment and looks to the ground. "As best as you could..."
>Her smile fades again and she rubs her shoulder.
>You know what she's thinking of. Hopefully, the waterworks aren't too big.
>"I'm no Jedi, but... I suppose it was just... Captain Spitfire's time... Her time to also become a part of the Force..." She closes her eyes and maintains her composure as she speaks. "I had been very close with her. With all of the Wonderbolts... She will be greatly missed."
>You look to Sunset for a moment.
>You can't help but imagine what it would be like if you lost her this way. It would probably tear you apart.
>She is more important to you than anyone else in the whole galaxy. Not just because she's an invaluable asset and a magnificent warrior that you're proud to fight with, but she's also a very good friend. The best, in fact.
>When her time does come, you only hope that she dies with honor and glory.
>Spitfire's time was cut short. You didn't like her, but she did her job well and with pride. That's admirable.
>She had so much more to look forward to. So much more she was ready to accomplish.
>And it was unfairly taken from her.
>Sunset looks to you for a moment and you look back to Octavia.
"I'm sorry we couldn't save her as well, Senator."
>"We tried. We really did."
>She looks up again and nods. "I know you did. I don't blame you." She pauses and thinks for a moment before sitting up straight. "When the one responsible is caught, he will be tried and sentenced to the punishment he deserves."
>Hoity Toity.
>He will be caught, definitely, and he will get what he deserves, but he won't have a chance to look for a scapegoat and potentially get out of this.
>The Republic will wait too long. He needs to be dealt with severely, and as soon as possible.

>>28548027
>Pinkie speaks up. "So, what's gonna happen with Dantooine after this now?"
>Octavia sighs, looking a bit relieved to change the somber mood.
>"Honestly, I do not know. I felt like I could have been successful if I had more time. The governor of the planet was being very stubborn with me during our negotiations. He kept insisting that Dantooine could manage on its own. But then... everything happened."
>You can't help but think that this attack could be taken both ways.
>Dantooine can either see this as a sign that they need the Republic's assistance to combat attacks like this in the future, or as a sign that nothing good can come from being associated with them.
>Politics are absolutely terrible in every way.
>If Mandalorians were involved, they would have just invaded and conquered the planet overnight. It would have been almost too easy.
>But alas, the Republic isn't as strong-willed the Mando'ade.
"I'm sure everything will work out in time, Senator. You seem pretty resilient to me."
>She smiles again. "Thank you, Anonymous."
>You nod at her in response.
>A second later, the ship rumbles slightly.
>The cruiser itself has landed?
"Wow."
>"Must be refueling or something." Sunset adds.
>Other than crashes, you haven't actually seen a Republic cruiser of any kind touch down on a planet's surface before.
>You look back to Octavia. She's looking around the room as well. She probably wasn't expecting this either.
>She looks back at you once more. "Well, I suppose this is our stop."
>Looks like it.
"Senator, if you ever need our services again in the future, don't hesitate to ask."
>"I won't hesitate, thank you."
>The three of you turn to exit the room.
>Pinkie calls back to her. "Get better soon!"
>Octavia merely giggles and waves goodbye.

>You pass another officer as he makes his way into the room as well and starts speaking to Octavia. You only hear the start of his sentence.
>Apparently, the Queen of Naboo herself wants to know how she's doing.
>The three of you leave the room and head down the hallway toward the exit.
>Pinkie taps your shoulder. "So, are we gonna talk about the plan now?"
You don't look at her. "Not yet."
>You need to get to your ship first.

---

>"Mom and dad are back!"
>You laugh as you step aboard your ship again after Sunset, taking a deep breath through the nose as you remove your helmet.
>Oh, it feels so damn good to be here again.
>Everything is exactly how you left it. Your weapons in the armory, your speeder bike you bought on Tatooine, the main hold, it's such a beautiful sight.
>Sunset removes her helmet and stands in the doorway of the main hold, looking at everything with a smile.
"Sunset..."
>She looks back at you as you move to stand beside her and wrap an arm around her. The both of you look at your beautiful ship together, still smiling.
"...we're home."
>She giggles and squeezes you around the waist in return before heading to the cockpit.
>"Now let's get the hell out of here."
"Good idea."
>You turn around and see Pinkie behind you, also smiling.
>"Did I ever tell you I really liked your ship Anon?"
>You cross your arms and look her straight in the eyes.
"Don't get any ideas, Pinkie. It's mine."
>Sunset calls back from the cockpit. "It's mine too!"

>>28548085
>You glance toward the cockpit for a second before turning to Pinkie again.
"Right. It's hers too. I bought it though."
>Sunset calls back from the cockpit once again. "I bought most of it!"
You roll your eyes and turn toward the cockpit. "Will you stop?! I'm trying to make a point here!"
>"Make the point correctly then! I picked it out, I paid for most of it, you just picked out the color!"
"It's my favorite color!"
>You hear Sunset start to laugh. It makes you laugh too.
>Pinkie starts laughing as well. "You guys are cute!"
>You set your helmet down on the table in the center of the room, still chuckling.
"Yeah, thanks."
>Sunset calls back the cockpit once more. "I'm cuter!"
"I know that!"
>You smile wide and Pinkie starts laughing again.
>The engines click and hum as Sunset starts up the ship.
>They hum a bit louder as the ship warms up and you walk into the armory to remove some of your equipment.
>"I'm gonna head to the cockpit too, okay Anon?"
"Alright, Pinkie. Tell Sunset to just stay in orbit for now. I'll be there in a minute."
>"Okie dokie!"
>She heads toward the cockpit and the ship rumbles beneath your feet as Sunset takes off.
>After removing your jetpack and weapons, you grab your datapad nearby and call Rarity.
>Let's see who this contact of hers is...

---

>You press another button on the ship's controls as you begin your ascent through Naboo's atmosphere.
>It really is a beautiful planet, especially from up here.
>You can see the cruiser you all were just aboard, the spaceport, the entire city of Theed, and the Queen's palace. They all shrink as you continue through the clouds.
>"Hiya, Sunset!"
>Pinkie's here. Great.
"Hey, Pinkie."

>She takes a seat in the co-pilot's chair on your right and swivels back and forth.
>"Anon says to just get into orbit! He'll be here soon!"
"Okay."
>The ship continues to break through the clouds and the blue sky starts to get darker as you press through the atmosphere.
>Pinkie spins in circles in the chair a couple of times, giggling to herself.
>Why is she in here?
"Do you need anything Pinkie?"
>She looks at you and gasps softly. "Oh yeah! I do, actually!"
>She stops spinning and faces you completely. Her smile fades, but her attention does not.
>"I was curious about what happened on Dantooine."
"Uh, what happened? What do you mean?"
>Well... Like, you didn't like being there, right? Like, you had yucky, woozy feelings in the canyons?"
>How did she know that?
You stare at her completely. "Yeah..?"
>"And, just before the bomb went off, you felt that wave of yucky woozy feeling in your gut, didn't you?"
"Yeah... Yeah, I did..."
>That's strange.
>Now that you think about it, she said something at the same time you felt that feeling in your gut. Like, "Oh goodness" or something like that.
>Pinkie looks back toward the rest of the ship for a moment.
>You follow her gaze. It's just you two in here. Anon is doing whatever he's doing right now.
>"What do you think about the Jedi and the Force, Sunset?"
>This is weird.
"Together? I don't know. I'm not too fond of the Jedi, if that's what you're asking. I know the Force exists, but I don't understand everything about how it works. Even though I'm Force Sensitive, I'm not familiar with-"
>She cuts you off. "Oh! So-So you do know that you're Force Sensitive?"

>>28548132
You nod. "It was a recent discovery, but yeah. I have barely enough midichlorians in my blood to be Force Sensitive."
>She blinks once. "Oh! Okay!"
>She breathes a sigh of relief and looks out the viewport into the sky, now being dotted with distant stars as you leave the atmosphere.
"Is that what this is about? All those weird feelings in my gut, that was the Force?"
>She nods. "Yup. I felt it strongly around the Enclave too."
>You accelerate the ship more and get yourselves into orbit around Naboo.
"What did it mean?"
>"The Force is very strong there. Those are old ruins that once housed and trained many powerful Jedi Knights."
>Including Revan.
>She continues. "All those craters and holes around the Enclave and in the canyons were from Darth Malak's ship when he killed them all. All those who died, their life force, their energy, it still speaks to those who can hear it. Even after all this time."
>All you felt there was uneasiness and nausea. You were able to push past it, but it was still there.
"So... All that queasiness I felt, that was the Force telling me that tons of people had died?"
>She nods. "Basically."
>Wow. That's not even a little bit fun.
>This makes you hate being Force Sensitive.
"Then, what about what I felt just before the bomb went off? You felt it too, right?"
>"Yeah I did. That was just you sensing immediate danger. Have you ever felt that before?"
"Maybe I have, I don't know. I don't usually pay attention to how I'm feeling when me and Anon are on the job. We push past it until the job is done."
>She smiles and giggles a little. "When the job is done. Like your little back and forth you had with each other just now?"
"Yeah, stuff like that." You smile as well. "Anon is a great guy, and he knows how to be fun. He actually has a great sense of humor. But, he's still a no-nonsense Mandalorian. When it's time to work, he works. When our work is finished, or it's just us, then he brings out his fun side."

>>28548165
>"And what do you think of that?"
"It's nice. I'm the same way. It's why we work so well together."
>She hums softly and leans back in the chair a little as you press a few more buttons on the control console.
>"So what's the deal with you two? Are you guys, like, a thing?"
>Woah, what?!
"A thing? Like a romantic thing? No! No we're not."
>She has this sly little grin on her face and she uses her toes to swivel back and forth in her chair.
>"Did ya ever want to be a 'thing' together with him?"
"No! We're just really good friends, and partners on a strictly professional level."
>"Oh, so you're in the friend zone then."
You roll your eyes a little. "No, neither of us are in the friend zone. I mean, yeah, we're friends, but we've never tried to be anything more."
>"Never even thought about it?"
"Well, of course I've thought about being something more. He's a great guy and all, but it would just-"
>Wait. What did you say?
>The actual realization of your statement suddenly hits you and you quickly cover your mouth.
>Pinkie's mouth opens into a large smile and she breathes in slowly.
>'You've thought about it before'. That's all she needed to hear.
"Uh..."
>"Ooooh my gosh, that is so cute!"
>You feel your face heat up. Whether from embarrassment or anger, you aren't quite sure.
>You press a button on the control console and the door behind you closes shut.
"Listen to me..." You lean forward and grab Pinkie by the mouth, covering it completely. "You had better not say a single word to him about this, or I swear I will personally gut you like a fish. Do you understand me, Pinkie Pie?"
>She makes no attempt to break free from your grip. You can't see her actual mouth, but you can tell she's still smiling.
>She gives a muffled giggle and nods. "Mmhmm!"
>You release her and sit back in your seat again while she continues giggling out loud.
>"Don't worry, Sunset! I won't tell him!"
"Good."
>Damn you, Pinkie Pie. How the hell did she do that?

>>28548192
>You press the same button again and the door behind you opens.
"Now get out of here."
>"Okie dokie! We can talk about that later!"
"Get. Out."
>She skips out of the cockpit, still giggling to herself.
>"Oh! Hi Anon!"
>Oh shit...
>"Hey Pinkie."
>Pinkie skips past him, humming with glee.
>You return your attention to the control console as Anon walks in.
>"How come the door was closed?"
"She was pushing all of my buttons over here."
>"Oh."
>In a sense, you're not lying. She was pushing your buttons...
>Damn her.
>He doesn't seem surprised. That's good.
>He takes a seat beside you and sighs. "What were you two talking about?"
>Your personal feelings about him.
"Nothing much. She had a question for me about something that happened on Dantooine."
>"Like what?"
>You shrug and look at him.
"Well, apparently, I was sensing the Force a bit down there and she noticed it."
>"Really?"
"Yep."
>He nods. "That's pretty cool, I guess."
>You give him a little half-smile and return your attention to the controls.
>You want to change the subject. Quickly.
"So where are we going?"
>"Oh, right. Take us to Nal Hutta. Rarity's contact is a Hutt that goes by 'Filthy' Rich."
"Filthy? Really?"

>>28548217
>You lock in Nal Hutta's coordinates and prepare to make the jump to lightspeed.
>"Well, he's a Hutt. Of course he's filthy."
You grin. "That's racist, Anon."
>"It's not racist if it's true."
>You giggle and the ship's computer finishes the necessary calculations.
>The hyperdrive whirs to life and you grab the throttle.
>"Shouldn't we tell Pinkie to brace herself?"
>You push the throttle and the ship lurches forward for a split-second before flying off into hyperspace.
>From behind you in the ship somewhere, you hear Pinkie cry out in surprise and fly into something, knocking it over as you make the jump.
"Oops. I forgot."
>No you didn't.
>"I'm okay!"
>You smile and Anon starts to laugh.
>She deserved it.
>"Ha! Come on. Let's go get her."
"Alright."
>You smile at him and the both of you stand up and make your way back into the ship.

>After getting Pinkie situated again, Sunset went into the armory to remove some of her gear.
>A few minutes later, you sit them both down in the main hold and contact Rarity through the ship's computer.
>Her holographic face comes into view above the table in the center of the room a moment later.
>"Hello, Anonymous and Sunset!"
"Hey Rarity."
>She smiles and looks at Pinkie.
>"Oh! You must be Pinkamena Diane Pie."
>She smiles and nods. "The one and only! Call me Pinkie!"
>She returns the smile. "It's nice to meet you, Pinkie! I'm Rarity."
>"Nice to meet you too!"
>Good, we're all getting along.
>Rarity clears her throat. "Well, now that the pleasantries are out of the way, I suppose you're all curious about my contact."
>Sunset speaks up. "Does he really go by 'Filthy'?"
>Pinkie straight up busts a gut laughing. "What?!"
>You chuckle. Rarity does as well. "That nickname was given to him by those he had previously dealt with, and it sort of stuck. He is very successful and he isn't afraid to play dirty to get what he wants. An aggressive businessman, in a manner of speaking."
>She continues. "Anonymous has stated that he needs some items of... How did you put it exactly, darling?"
"Items of questionable legality."
>"Ah, yes. He needs some of those for this little endeavor he wants to go on... Which I, for one, am very curious to know the details of."
>All three of them turn their full attention to you.
>You clear your throat.

"Okay. Now I can get into my 'evil plan' with a bit less worry of anyone listening in." You turn your attention to Pinkie. "Pinkie. You are in the dark the most on this, so I'll explain everything from the beginning... Rarity, bring up the message please."
>Rarity's holographic image fades away and is replaced by Hoity Toity's still image, along with many other details you had found and given to her.
"At the Jedi Enclave, I found a datapad. It contained shipping records, details on the cargo, and a pair of aliases for the recipients of the illegally obtained Kath Hounds: the Twins. Aka, Flim and Flam. Along with those things, I also found this message."
>You press a button on the table and play the message to the girls for the first time.
>"...alk to me, what is going on there?! Did you get the shipment?! Is the bomb in place?! Answer me! I want Senator Melody DEAD! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?! DEAD!"
>Pinkie gasps and covers her mouth.
>Sunset just stares at him, shaking her head. "What an idiot. He didn't even try to be subtle or hide his identity or anything."
"His carelessness will cost him dearly."
>"Who is that?"
"That, Pinkie, is Hoity Toity. He's a rich, corrupt Senator for the Galactic Republic. We're going to break into his fancy apartment building in Coruscant's upper city, and kill him."
>She looks at you. "A high up guy like this? For free?"
>You nod.
>"By your own choice?"
>You nod again.
"You could be a great help to us on this, Pinkie. This is the same guy who killed a bunch of innocent people on Dantooine."
>"Why not let the Republic deal with him though?"

>>28549780
>Sunset stands up before you can answer. "Because the Republic will take too long, Pinkie. This guy is a lying, corrupt piece of Bantha fodder, he has a position of power in the Republic, and he deserves to die as soon as possible. If we wait, he could pull some strings and make himself look innocent. We have to do this now."
>You grin and she stands beside you.
"Couldn't have said it any better myself."
>Sunset looks to you briefly and grins as well.
>Pinkie looks at you both for a moment before smiling a little.
>"Alright, I'm in. He's a rich bad guy too, so maybe we can steal some stuff when we get in there."
"I was ready to play that card if you were having doubts about doing this with us."
>She giggles and Rarity's face comes into view again.
>"So what is your plan then, darling?"
>You look at her and rub your chin for a moment.
"Well, that is actually why I wanted to brainstorm with you guys for a bit. We need a specific plan of action with this... Pinkie, you're the professional thief here. What would you do?"
>She scratches her head and hums to herself as she thinks.
>"You don't happen to have blueprints, or at least a picture of his place, do you?"
>Sunset speaks up. "We have a few cameras aboard this ship. I can pull up an archive image of it from when we brought in Adagio."
"That's a good idea."
>She moves over to another computer panel on a far wall and presses a few buttons.
>Rarity's image fades once again. Taking her place is footage of you, Sunset, and Adagio exiting the ship on Hoity Toity's rooftop a couple of weeks ago.
>The footage moves to another camera from and you get a grainy, albeit better view of his building from a different angle.

>>28549820
>Sunset pauses the footage and Pinkie steps forward to get a closer look at the building.
>She stays silent for a few moments as she studies it.
>"What kind of stuff will we have?"
"I'm hoping for some piece of tech that can help us disable some security."
>"What kind of security does he have, specifically?"
"I don't know."
>"We need to scope the place out then. Gather some intel, ya know?"
>She's right. You should've gone to Coruscant first.
>Rookie mistake.
>Maybe she has a method.
"Alright. How do you usually do that?"
>"Well, for me, there's usually a party involved. I get myself invited, make a few flirty faces, show the guy I can be fun in more ways than one, then I swipe his keys, guns, valuables, or anything else I want. Sometimes it has to get messy though. Whether the messy is fun for him depends on if he's cute or not." She grins and winks at you. "I have fun no matter what kind of 'messy' happens between us, if you know what I mean~."
"Good hell..."
>"Oh my word, Pinkie!"
>Even though her face is not visually present, Rarity can still hear everything in the room.
>You press your palm against your face and Pinkie starts laughing again.
>Sunset sighs loudly and snaps her fingers a few times.
>"Okay, Pinkie? For real. Get to the point."
>She continues laughing as she looks at you all. "What? It works!"
>You can't help chuckling a little. That was kind of funny.
"Come on. Let's stay focused."
>She giggles and looks back at the picture again. Her giggles fade after a second, but her smile doesn't.
>"As far as gathering intel goes, I say we wait until nighttime and use a few probe droids to get a closer look at the building."
>Sunset points to a different building's rooftop on the picture. "One or two of us can stand on that rooftop and scope it out from further away."

>>28549866
>Pinkie nods. "Good idea. I can't be much help if I don't know what I'm getting into."
>You silently curse yourself as you think of how much money you could save if you had done this first.
>Oh well. You're already on your way.
>"You know, while we're going to Nal Hutta, can we stop at Nar Shaddaa first? I have some stuff that can help us out."
>That's right. You picked Pinkie up on Nar Shaddaa.
"Sure. What kind of stuff are you grabbing?"
>She grins. "Lots of high-tech thief stuff! Sticky gloves, glass cutters, one or two distractions I can use, you know. Most of it can only be used by me though."
"We'll take all the help we can get."
>Sunset speaks up. "Do you have any signal jammers?"
>"I do, but it's a small one. It only jams radios that are close to me."
>You look back at the picture again.
>On the roof, you notice a small communications dish between a pair of antennas. Jamming a signal would be easy if you could get up there.
>Pinkie's probably isn't anywhere near powerful enough to do it though. Even if it was modified. You'll have to buy one.
"Well, unfortunately, I didn't look far enough ahead and now it's too late to go to Coruscant and scope this place out better. When we get to Nal Hutta, we'll buy the basics and work with what we have when we get there."
>"Mistakes happen sometimes, Anon."
>You hate it when they do though.
You continue. "Right now, we need a bare minimum plan. A simple foundation for something more detailed later on. How are we going to do this?"
>Pinkie and Sunset think for a moment. Rarity's face comes into view once again.
>"Well darling, as I said before, the Republic knows who you are. They have worked with you, and they have undoubtedly done their research. It's safe to assume that they know your style."
>You're usually pretty discreet unless you simply cannot be.

>>28549891
>Pinkie is well versed in stealthy infiltration, ironically. You have no idea how much the Republic knows about her though. They could know everything, or they could know nothing.
>"Do you think the Republic would consider us if the assassination was blatantly obvious?"
>You all look at Sunset.
"Like, just be reckless? Go in guns blazing?"
>She nods. "The illusion of being reckless. We could plan to be so over-the-top, that there's no way the Republic would suspect it was us."
>That could work. You like the idea of the Republic not tailing you all over the place.
>It would mean that you'd have to be fast though.
>As soon as news got out, Republic security forces and possibly a few Jedi would race there to stop you.
"Maybe. We'll hold onto that plan."
>Pinkie speaks up again. "I still say we try to be stealthy. Maybe cut a few security measures before we go in, you know?"
>"I agree with Pinkie, darling. If you cover your tracks well enough, then there's no need for all the excitement."
>Sunset argues once again. "You can never be sure of anything though. Covering your tracks can work, but destroying your tracks completely can work even better."
>All these plans can work or fail. You can see that.
"What if we do a bit of everything?"
>They all look at you.
"We can go in quiet and really stealthy, then go out with a boom."
>You bring up a smaller picture of the apartment building next to Rarity's face and point to a window on its side.
"See that? We can plant remote explosives there from the outside. Whoever is inside can also plant remote explosives all over the place. Hoity Toity lives near the top of the tower, so maybe we plant them in key points around the building and bring the entire top of the building down to cover our escape."

>Pinkie looks at you like you're crazy. "You don't wanna destroy the entire tower, do you?!"
"Of course not! I just want to destroy the section he lives in!"
>She gives a relieved sigh and Sunset leans in to look at the picture.
>"How would we get out of there?"
>You think for a moment.
"I'm thinking we use the explosion as our escape. Maybe we could set the explosives off at different times. The ones by the window can go, the person inside can jump out, then the rest of them can go a couple seconds later."
>Sunset hums to herself. "That's quite a long fall though."
>"What if someone else had a speeder and flew it down to catch whoever was falling?"
>That could work. Whoever was flying it would need to be good though.
>You look at Sunset.
>She looks back at you and nods. "I can do that."
You smile at her. "That only means we're getting the best."
>She smiles back and looks at the picture again.
>"Well, I like it. It's crazy enough that it just might work."
>"I do too!"
"Rarity what do you think?"
>She looks unsure. "I don't know, Anonymous. It seems risky."
You chuckle. "I think you worry too much. It's us. We can do it."
>She smiles back at you. "Very well, you three. I'll see if I can't get any more information on the Senator's apartment building for you."
"Thanks Rarity."
>Her holographic face fades away and you turn off the table's projector.
>Pinkie exhales. "Now what?"

>>28549943
>Sunset folds her arms. "Well, we have a while before we reach Nal Hutta. I say we get a little rest."
"Good idea. It's been a long day."
>"Okie dokie!"
>Pinkie walks toward another hallway that leads to some guest bunk beds, leaving you and Sunset alone.
>You look at each other but say nothing.
>You smile at her and she smiles back.
"Alright, I'm going to take your advice and head to sleep for a bit."
>"Sounds good. I'll do that too."
>You turn around and head toward the hallway that leads to your room.
>"Nighty night."
You smile and continue forward. "Nighty night."
>You reach your room and step inside, locking the door behind you and removing your armor.
>Once it's been removed, you lay down in your bed and take a deep breath.
>It's been a while since you've had a decent rest. You're looking forward to this.
>You lift your robotic arm up and look at it.
>It's scraped in a few places and suffering from minor damage. It will still work for you, but you'll make a few repairs to it in the morning.
>You rest it beside you and take another deep breath as you shut your eyes.
>Tomorrow is going to be interesting.

>Sunset maneuvers the ship out of Nal Hutta's atmosphere and heads toward Nar Shaddaa to pick up Pinkie.
>You are currently in the cargo hold looking over a few of your new gadgets.
>Filthy Rich is not one to haggle. It had cost quite a bit. Luckily, you could afford it.
>What's the point of having money if you don't spend it?
>You're still unsure about what exactly Hoity Toity has in the way of electronic security, so you wanted to get the best that Filthy had to offer.
>You picked up a couple of universal jammers for any of the building's sensors and communications, a few computer spikes, toxic darts, missiles for your and Sunset's jetpacks, fuel, a lot of explosive charges, and a couple more probe droids to replace the ones you lost to the Rakghouls over Mandalore.
>You also have some other gear laying around here somewhere that you'll most likely use for this job.
>Pinkie said that she was picking up some stuff that could be useful, so you're a bit anxious to see what she's got as well.
>You figured it was best to drop her off and pick her up after you got done shopping on Nal Hutta. It saved a bit of time.
>Once everything is accounted for, you take a few darts and head into your armory to prepare them for use.
>A little courtesy you like to provide the seller is grinding away the darts' fins a bit so they're still aerodynamic, but they look different from how you bought them.
>These darts are usually shaped in a specific way, and you don't want the authorities to find out who used them or where they came from.
>It covers your tracks from the authorities who inspect the body, and it helps keep the manufacturer out of trouble.
>Just something you do because you're such a nice guy.

>Sunset's voice comes on the intercom a moment later.
>"Anon, we're back on Nar Shaddaa."
>You walk over to the intercom and press the button.
"Alright. Real quick, how are we doing on fuel?"
>"We'll make it to Coruscant, but I was going to fill up in case we needed a quick getaway."
"I was just going to suggest that. Find a place near the Pazaak Den and I'll contact Pinkie."
>"Okay."
>You shut off the intercom and head to the computer in the main hold.
>Pinkie's comms buzz for a moment before she answers, giggling wildly.
>"Hee hee! Hiya Anon!"
>What is she doing?
"We're here. Have you got everything you need?"
>"Yup I'm all set!"
>She continues giggling. She sounds like she's in a public place with a bunch of other people.
"Where are you?"
>"The Pazaak Den! I just won 3,000 credits from some off-worlder and then he started crying! It was hilarious!"
>Damn it...
"Pinkie, this is important. I need you t -"
>"Yeahyeahyeahyeahyeah, I know! I've got my money and my gear and I'm done now!"
"Good. Go to the refueling platform closest to you. We'll be there soon."
>"Okie dokie lokie!"
>You shut off communications with her and groan.

>The ship leans and turns slightly and you head to the cockpit to meet up with Sunset.
"How are we looking?"
>"We're about there. You can see it now."
>The refueling platform is sticking out of the middle part of one of the many massive skyscrapers around you just ahead.
>Speeders and ships follow each other in lines above and below you, giving movement to the neon-lit planet as Sunset descends the ship onto the platform.
>Once the ship lands, you both grab your helmets, head to the exit ramp, and step onto the landing pad.
>The both of you meet a Toydarian there and begin the refueling process to your ship.
>You periodically look to the doorway on the building's side for any sign of Pinkie. She isn't here yet.
>It isn't until a few minutes later that the door opens and she comes skipping toward you, humming to herself.
>You pay the Toydarian and stand there with Sunset.
>"Hey guys! Sorry about that, I was busy with-"
"Save it. Are you ready to go?"
>She stops talking and nods at you. "Yep! I'm all set!"
"Good."
>The three of you enter your ship and close the ramp behind you.
>You and Sunset take off your helmets and set them on the table in the main hold before heading into the cockpit.
>"So what kind of stuff did you guys get?"
>You all sit in your respective seats and Sunset starts up the ship.
"A bunch of good stuff. We'll talk about it when we make the jump to lightspeed."

>Sunset sets the coordinates for Coruscant once you're out of the atmosphere and the ship's hyperdrive blasts you off into hyperspace.
>"Alright, we're clear."
"Fantastic. Let's contact Rarity and see if she's gathered any details on his apartment."
>You get up with Pinkie and head back into the ship while Sunset stays and presses a few more buttons on the control console.
>Pinkie sits in a seat behind you while you move your helmets off the table in the main hold and contact Rarity.
"What kind of stuff did you grab, Pinkie?"
>She reaches into a few of the pouches on her belt and pulls out a few things.
>"I got these cool gloves that help me stick to walls and stuff, a pair of thermal goggles, smoke pellets, a glass cutter, a small communications inhibitor, and, uh... Oh! This!"
>She pulls out a small, blue gem.
>It catches your attention immediately. It's about the same size as Adagio's gem.
"Is that...?"
>"It's my lightsaber crystal I got when I was training to be a Jedi!"
>This must be one of the naturally-formed lightsaber crystals that Maud told you about back on Shining Armor's cruiser.
"Can I see it?"
>"Sure." She hands it to you and you look at it closely.
>It has a faint glow to it and you twist it around in your fingers slowly as you look at it from all angles.
>"I never got to use it to make my lightsaber, but it's still strong with the Force. I use it as a good luck charm."
"Nice."
>You're sure it will come in handy for her.

>You look back to the table and press another button. Rarity's holographic face appears a few moments later.
"Hey, Rarity. Give me some good news."
>She smiles at you. "Well darling, I did a little bit of looking around and managed to find quite a bit of information on the senator's building."
>Excellent.
>Her holographic face fades and is replaced by a three-dimensional image of Hoity Toity's apartment.
>"That's what I'm talking about."
>Pinkie stands up and stares at the image intently. Sunset walks into the room as well and stands beside you.
>"As I'm sure you know, here's his building. This landing pad here is where you landed when you met with him last."
>A small red dot appears on one of the landing pads near the bottom of the image.
>"I've learned that since the incident on Dantooine, the senator has upped his security a bit. He has hired more guards, and has ordered that more security systems be put in place around his apartment."
>Sunset speaks up. "What kind of security systems?"
>"The usual. More cameras, proximity sensors, silent alarms, etcetera. However, most of these new security systems have only been ordered. They have not been installed yet. What he has now are more guards, restricted access badges, and security droids. As well as all of his previous security systems that were already in place, of course."
"Which are?"
>The image zooms in on the large window on the building that overlooks the city.
>"Thermal sensors on all windows..."
>The image then shifts to a communications antennae on the roof.
>"...a short-range communications monitor..."
>The image zooms out and a multitude of flashing red dots appear all over the building.
>"...automated defense turrets spread around key points in and out of the building..."
>The blinking red dots fade and a larger number of blue dots appear all over.
>"...and, of course, security cameras everywhere."

>You tap your chin as you think to yourself.
>Pinkie speaks up. "Can you highlight the ventilation shafts, rooms, and hallways please?"
>A network of yellow lines appear through the building. One is thicker than the others, and heads straight down the building, while the multitude of thinner ones go up, down, left, right, and just about every other direction away from it.
>The yellow lines end on the tops of long, blue squares that you can only assume are the hallways and individual rooms spread through the building.
>"This long, thick yellow line is the main ventilation shaft. It continues for miles downward. Every fifty meters, it is cut off by a large fan that blows air through the building."
>Pinkie hums and nods as she studies the image.
>"How big are the thinner vents?"
>"Not big enough to crawl through, if that's what you're thinking."
>Pinkie grunts and folds her arms. "Shoot."
>She continues to study the image while Sunset speaks up.
>"Where are the most supportive sections on this building's level?"
>A few moments later, two circles of flashing red columns of light appear on the building. The larger circle near the perimeter, while the smaller circle near the center.
>"These beams here hold the penthouse up. There are nine around the edge, and five toward the middle."
>You and Sunset both study the image closely.
"It looks like the entire penthouse would come down if at least five of the outer supports were destroyed, and all of the innermost ones were as well."
>"If we could turn off the air circulation for a few seconds, we could use the probe droids to go through the vents and plant the explosives."
>Not a bad idea.
>The vents would most likely be controlled by a switch or something from inside the building.
"How do we turn off the vents from outside though?"
>Sunset looks at you. "We're doing that from outside?"
"Uhm..."
>Huh.
>You're approaching this all wrong. You need to stick to the plan.
>No... Actually, you need to make a plan first.

>She picks up on your feelings and grins at you.
>"We probably should have a course of action first, before making any big decisions, right?"
"Yeah, definitely."
>You both look at the building again. All the multicolored lights are still there.
"Highlight Hoity Toity's room for me."
>The spacious room with all the windows that overlooks the city glows green.
"Okay, I like the idea of using the droids to go through the vents, so let's hold onto that part. Where will we be, I wonder?"
>You're thinking out loud here.
>The image of the building slowly spins clockwise as you ponder to yourself.
"We need a place to park, first off. What other buildings are around this one, Rarity?"
>"Nothing of significance."
>That's exactly what you're looking for.
>The image zooms out and a few other surrounding buildings come into view.
>"There's a pad right here. It's a public building about a kilometer away."
>She marks a point on a nearby building.
"Is there a place lower down? I don't want to attract any suspicion."
>"There should be."
>The image pans over to this building and moves lower down.
>Finally, it stops at another landing pad.
>"Here. It's about a kilometer and a half down from the rooftop."
>Sunset whistles. "Quite the climb."
"I was thinking it was quite the drop."
>She looks over at you.
"I've got an idea. We deploy the probe droids over this rooftop and head down here to land. Then we can move through this building up to the rooftop. It's a public place, so it should take us about ten minutes."
>The image moves up to the rooftop once again, and slowly pans toward Hoity Toity's apartment.
"The three of us will activate the droids and arm them with explosives. Then we can head toward Hoity Toity's building by flying along the rooftops."
>"What about Pinkie?"

>>28560133
>You look over to her.
"These gaps between buildings are relatively small. We can do what we did on Dantooine and carry her between us while we fly over."
>She looks at you and back to the image for a second.
>"That's like a zillion miles down, Anon!"
"Don't look down then. We've got you."
>You look back to the image and it stops over the building closest to Hoity Toity's.
"Anyway, once we get here, Sunset can fly one of the droids over to the building and scan for any points of significance, just to clarify that these blueprints are up to date."
>The image pans over to Hoity Toity's building and onto the rooftop.
>Sunset speaks up. "What about the security cameras?"
>Right. You still need to get rid of those.
>Rarity's voice comes with a reply. "There is a security access point on the roof that serves as a central hub for the system. If you can hack into there, you could loop all of the cameras."
>"Only problem is, that place is covered by the cameras."
>"Correct."
"We can use the communications jammer we bought from Filthy to blind them temporarily."
>Sunset continues your thought. "Then we can go in, hack the system, and loop the cameras."
"Exactly."
>Pinkie speaks up. "But we can't hold the block for very long. They'll know something is up after about 30 seconds. We'll need to go fast."
>She's right.
"We've got a few computer spikes. I can get it done in no time."
>She nods and you all look back at the image.
"Once everything is on the up and up around the building, Sunset will stay behind and wait with all the droids, except one. It will carry the jammer and activate it when Pinkie and I head onto the roof. Once there, I'll shut off the cameras and see if I can't also deactivate the turrets."
>The blue lights indicating the cameras' locations shut off on the image.

>>28560155
"Once they're taken care of, if we can't control the ventilation system from that access point, then we'll deactivate it manually. That way, Sunset can bring the rest of the droids over and plant the explosives in their required spots."
>She looks over to you again. "And once they're planted, I send them back to the ship before making my way back and picking you up, right?"
You nod at her. "As fast as possible. If you jump, then that's how fast you'll go."
>She grins and looks at the image again. "Looks fun."
>You look back at the image as well.
"Rarity, what are the patrol routes for the guards?"
>"Here."
>A series of red lines move through the hallways, up a few different flights of stairs, and into some rooms.
>"There are about fifteen guards patrolling on this floor, with four more inside the senator's room. Each one of them can remotely trigger an alarm that alerts the authorities and calls up reinforcements from the lower levels."
>Nineteen altogether. Pinkie's personal signal jammer can prove useful here.
"Alright. While Sunset is planting the explosives, Pinkie will make her way inside and silently take out the guards." You turn to her. "Think you can do that? Silently?"
>She salutes exaggerates a salute and smiles. "Yes sir, Anon!"
>You nod at her and look back at the image.
"I'll use the other jammer to override the thermal sensors on the windows and plant a few more explosives around there, before meeting up with Pinkie. We'll move to the senator as quickly as possible. Maybe find a terminal or something we can plant evidence of his involvement on Dantooine onto. We'll have a few minutes to toy with him until Sunset gets to the ship. I want to find out who and where Flim and Flam are."
>"We can take some of Hoity Toity's stuff too, right?"
>You nod.
>"Get some loot for me too then, Anon. You're going to have all that fun without me."
>You look back at Sunset and chuckle.

>>28560186
"I'll grab something special, just for you."
>She smiles and you look back to the image.
"Once we take care of Hoity Toity, I'm going to blow the window. Pinkie and I will jump out and the rest of the bombs will go off five seconds later."
>Sunset speaks. "I'll fly the ship down and pick you guys up."
"Then we're home free."
>You take a deep breath and look at the plan.
"What do you guys think?"
>"I like it."
>"Me too!"
>Good.
>Rarity's face fades into view once again.
>"I've sent you all the information on this, Anonymous. It sounds dangerous, but I'm sure you can pull it off."
"Thanks, Rarity."
>She nods and smiles. "Tell me how it goes when you're done."
>Her face fades away and the hologram shuts off.
>You take another deep breath and look to the girls.
"Alright, you two. We'll be there in a few hours, so get some extra rest. Make sure you're ready."
>"Got it!" Pinkie stands up and heads back to her bunk. "We're gonna steal stuff! I'm so excited!"
>Sunset checks another computer on the wall next to the cockpit.
>"It will be dusk by the time we get there. We'll have extra seclusion."
"Perfect."
>You head into the cargo hold with Sunset and start getting your supplies ready.

Jeez where is Everybody? Dont tell me this thread has been gone so long that alot of the posters here forgot about

>>28563990
Not even everyone from the steam group showed up, wow. I guess a lot of people did forget. That's a shame.

It's a shame Palpanon isn't around, I found the idea of a Palpatine anon really appealing.

>>28564394

Well, unless the other writers or one of them steps up to really fill the gap, with Sarge's story over, I don't think the general will last. I know how that sounds but we've seen it happen before

This is a newfag thing to say but is there a guide to greentext a story? My anxiety is too strong at this point.

>>28565067

Generally, use greentext for anything that's not Anon's speech. It helps differentiate his dialogue.

Stick to one sentence per line, unless it's dialogue. This is done to avoid big clumps of text.

Can't really think of anything other than that. Do your thing, anon. Trust me when I say that there's worse out there than whatever you can bring to the table.

I believe in you.

>You survey the battles of the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire for good salvage.

>>28565198

Fighter pilot/pirate Anon.

Seperatist tank commander Anon on some backwater worlds during the wars.

Anything non Jedi at this point.

I just want one goddamned story in SW where Anon ends up with Trixie.

>>28571355

I like what I'm hearing.

By discovered I meant Anon gets discovered by the Sith and undergoes training at the Sith Academy not on Korriban.

>>28571556

What about Anon as an officer in the Sith Empire who gets discovered by an inquisitor/sith?

>>28571624

Well, I guess.

I mean Sarge's exploration of Anon going to the Dark Side mirrored a few other stories as well. I guess there's just a LOT of Star Wars material out there; it can be daunting to come up with something original.

Why not a story with the ponies? There's never enough of that around.

I'm a bit tired of the whole "Star Wars character in Equestria" though, we should FO:E it and have it be ponies in Star Wars, pic very related.

>>28571653
Absolutely not.

>>28571653
>we should FO:E it and have it be ponies in Star Wars, pic very related.

You could always write yourself, Anon. It would be a different (to the general anyway) take on this crossover.

>>28571685

I... I'm sorry anon, I can't

I just can't

>>28571797
Just need to get the writers to return and have a story that gets the rest of the general excited. Ez pz.

>>28571797
>>28571807

Look, all we need is someone just as skilled as Sarge to write a story that's even longer than his is and updates daily with like twenty pages of content. Like he said, ez pz.

>Be Anonymous
>Be laying in the crew quarters of the HMS Galactica
>An Interceptor class firgate
>Filthy Richy and my crew havebeen scavving around the ruined wreckage of the Death star fro weeks

>However being tractore beamed was not part of the plan
>"Attention scaveneger vessel! Prepare to be boarded!"
>shit,shit,shit
>Imperials usually blast those that hang around battlefields

Is this premise any good? I'm probably only going to write this under the effect of alcohol but please feel fee with the criticism.

>>28572281
A forethought, sorry for the poor spelling, but I was focusing on the story quality.

>thread rises from the dead
>no longer have reason to leave second story unfinished

Shit, now I have to figure out where I'm going with it...

I'll post another update in a while.

Sarge, I just want to say...

Anonymous the Jedi is, after the movies and shows, my favorite Star Wars story, ever. I love it, and thank you for writing it for free.

>The three of you step off your ship and onto the Upper City landing pad.
>The sun had set, and twilight was now upon you.
>Not that you're under the cover of darkness by any means. Not on this level, anyway. Coruscant's lights made sure of that.
>Dusk will be more useful to you once you are on the rooftops.
>You lead the girls to the building's doorway and step inside.
>None of you say anything as you make your way to the elevators.
>You're all about to do something extremely illegal, but it's for the best.
>Hoity Toity won't be missed anyway.
>As you move through the building, you pass by a few security cameras.
>You had elected to activate the sensor jammer before you landed. Once the senator's penthouse comes crashing down, you can be damn sure that the Republic authorities are going to be checking everywhere for evidence.
>These security cameras aren't as much of a threat. You can afford jamming them for a while.
>The three of you find the elevators and call one down.
>It doesn't take long before it arrives and you all step aboard.
>The door shuts and you press the button for the roof access.
>The elevator begins its long ascent, and you finally break the silence.
"Sunset, how are the droids?"
>She presses a button on her gauntlet and pauses. "We're still fine. All four of them are active and alone up there."
>Just before landing, you deployed the four probe droids onto the roof as you flew over, along with their explosives.
"Good. Let me know if anything changes."
>She nods and you turn to Pinkie.
"Are you ready?"
>She smiles and nods. "I was born ready, Anon."
You nod back at her. "That's what I like to hear."
>You all resume your unanimous silence as the elevator continues upward.
>The ascent is long. Very long.
>It's almost hard to imagine that there are buildings higher than this one on this planet.
>"Anon?"
>You glance over to Sunset.
>"In case we don't get off scot-free, do we have a Plan B?"

>Plan B.
>You briefly review the plan in your head once again.
>There are risks here. You can see that.
>If it fails, you're going to be on the Republic's hit list.
>A fail-safe plan is probably a good thing to have in your pocket.
"Yeah, we've got one."
>"Is it going to be 'that' Plan B?"
You look away from her again. "Most likely."
>She sighs softly.
>"Wait, what's plan B?"
"Don't worry about it, Pinkie. Stay focused on Plan A."
>Pinkie says nothing else. None of you do for the remainder of the ride up.
>When the elevator finally reaches the top floor, the three of you casually walk into the hallway and find the roof access door.
>You make sure the coast is clear before heading outside.
>The glow of Coruscant's cityscape illuminates the night sky all around you.
>Countless speeders and starships fly above and below you. It's a constant line of traffic and skyscrapers no matter which direction you look.
>"They're over here."
>Sunset points to the far side of the roof and you spot the four probe droids, all of them obediently awaiting her next command.
>You all jog over to them and she checks them out to confirm that they're all still armed and equipped.
"Still good?"
>"Still good."
>You pull up your map on your HUD and locate Hoity Toity's apartment.
>It's a kilometer away. A bit far, but that's not the issue that's on your mind the most right now.
>It's certainly not the one on Pinkie's mind right now.

>She's near the edge of the building and looking over the side.
>"Anon, are you sure you don't want to get a speeder?"
"I'm sure, Pinkie."
>She looks back at you. She's not smiling.
>"Are you really, really sure?"
>You're not going to judge her this time for being nervous. It's a long way down.
"Don't worry, Pinkie. You're still more useful to us alive."
>"Gee, thanks..."
>You chuckle and Sunset steps toward her.
>"You have nothing to fear, Pinkie. The traffic doesn't run through right here, so nothing will hit us. We won't drop you either."
You stand on the other side of her. "We promise."
>She looks between you both and takes another deep breath, shaking away her fear as best as she can.
>"Alright... Alright! Let's do this!"
>Sunset presses a button on her gauntlet and all four probe droids fly past you, toward the next building.
>Once they're about halfway there, she grabs onto Pinkie's left hand and you grab onto her right. Your robotic arm locking in place.
"Remember, don't look down."
>"Don't look down... Okay..."
>She gulps and you and Sunset activate your jetpacks.
>You all rise into the air and fly over the edge.
>Pinkie lifts her legs up close to her body and closes her eyes when the lights from below illuminate her face.
>You can't help but look down at the tens of thousands of speeders all crisscrossing each other for miles.
>It's nerve-wrecking.
>Not that you have a reason to be nervous. You can literally defy gravity. You're doing it right now.
>But there's something about looking down at all that space beneath your feet, all that distance between you and the ground, it's impossible to get used to.
>Shake it off, Anon. You're halfway to the next building.

>A few seconds later, you descend and eventually land on the neighboring rooftop.
>Pinkie must have held her breath the entire time, because she releases it when you touch down.
"See? We're fine."
>She pants hard and smiles at you both.
>"We... We're fine!"
>"Yep. We only have to do that two more times now."
>Her smile fades away again and you and Sunset start to walk to the other ledge.
>"Awwww...."
>She reluctantly follows you to the next ledge and the process begins again.
>The three of you fly up and over to the next building's rooftop in about two minutes.
>A few minutes later, you all land on the building closest to Hoity Toity's. The four probe droids are already there.
>Pinkie releases your hands and takes a breather while you and Sunset proceed forward to look at the senator's building.
>As expected, there's no movement. The light in his room is on, but you can't see him from here.
>The landing pad is vacant and the doorway that leads inside has a faint red glow on it, indicating that it's locked.
"See anything?"
>"No. You?"
"No."
>"Alright. I'm sending the droid."
>She presses a button on her gauntlet and one of the probe droids zooms toward the building.
>While she controls the droid's movements, you turn around to check on Pinkie.
>Seems like she has her bearings back, because she's pulling her goggles over her eyes. That's good.
>You turn back to the building while Sunset continues to inspect it with the droid.
>"Okay, everything looks like how Rarity's info said it did. Nothing unusual so far."
>It's too dark for you to see the small droid from here.
>"I'm coming around the opposite side of the building now."

>>28572983
Fuck

>>28572998
>She continues pressing buttons on her gauntlet. With her helmet on, it looks like she's just staring off into space, like she's in a trance.
>You just stay silent and let her work.
>"I can see inside his room now... There. I found him."
"What's he doing?"
>"He's coming from a doorway that looks to be more secure than the others in the room. It's probably a private vault or something."
>"Oh! Valuable stuff is in vaults!"
>Thank you, Mrs. Obvious.
"Can you tag him?"
>"Hang on..."
>She stays still for a few more seconds before a small red holographic dot appears on your HUD over your view of the apartment building.
>"Got him."
>Perfect.
"Excellent work, Sunset."
>"Where would you be without me?"
You smile. "Raxus Prime. On my ass, remember?"
>She giggles. "Oh, right."
"Bring the droid back here and watch our backs. Pinkie, we're up."
>Pinkie steps up beside you. "Okie dokie!"
>The building you're on is shaped in a triangle. One corner of the roof is much closer to Hoity Toity's building than the others.
>You and Pinkie run over to that corner. Your jetpack would run the risk of bringing about extra attention, especially from this far away.
>You have your jammer, sure, but you'd rather not take that extra chance.
>Once you reach this corner, you stop and scan the next rooftop for its communications access point.
>It takes a second, but you find it.
>As well as the four turrets and cameras that cover the rooftop.

>This is the closest you can be to the building while still on your feet.
>You take out the jammer and hand it to Pinkie.
"Here, take this. Turn it on when I tell you to."
>"Okay!" She smiles and takes it, but pauses, "Wait. How am I getting over there?"
"I'm going to carry you." You say as you wrap your arms around her waist from behind and hold her tight. "Hang on."
>"W-Wait!"
>Before she can protest, you activate your jetpack and take to the sky once again.
>"ANOOON!"
"Quiet."
>She shuts her mouth and squeezes your arms as you both fly toward the senator's rooftop.
>Sunset's voice comes on in your ear.
>"Anon, you're almost in range."
"Copy that. Pinkie, get ready."
>You approach the rooftop, keeping your eyes locked onto the access point.
>Almost there...
"Now!"
>You steeply descend toward the rooftop and Pinkie activates the jammer.
>"Okay, Anon. You're in range and the jammer is active. You've got thirty seconds."
"Got it. Pinkie, as soon as we're over the rooftop, I'm going to drop you."
>Pinkie nods quickly. "Okay!"
>A couple of seconds later, you're directly over the building.
>You drop Pinkie onto the roof and zoom over to the access point, taking out your computer spike beforehand.
>Once you land, you immediately get to work on slicing into the system.
>"Twenty seconds."
>This system is a challenge, but it isn't as complicated as you were expecting it to be.
>"Fifteen seconds, Anon."
>You hear Pinkie come up behind you, but you stay focused on the task at hand.
>"Anon?"
"Almost got it, and... There! I'm in."
>You press a few buttons on your gauntlet and loop eight uneventful seconds from the cameras' feeds before playing it back into the system.
>Everything should be fine now, but just in case it isn't...
"Focus on the turrets."

>You and Pinkie bring up your weapons and point them at the four turrets on the corners of the rooftop, ready for anything.
>Ten seconds pass and nothing happens.
>"I think we're good."
"Me too. Anything you can see that we can't, Sunset?"
>She comes on again in your ear. "All clear on my end."
>You and Pinkie lower your weapons before you turn your attention back to the access panel.
"In that case, send the droids over. I'm shutting off the vents. Pinkie, give her an opening."
>"Okie dokie!"
>She walks toward the vents while you bring up the component view on your HUD.
>It's a pretty standard ventilation system. It isn't hard to shut down the air flow to the topmost section of the building.
>Once it's done, you head to the vent with Pinkie.
>She's unlocked the maintenance access panel and exposed the central fan. You can see down into the building's inner workings if you look inside.
>"Easy-peasy!"
"Good. Now..." You point to one of the building's edges. "...the landing pad entrance is just over there. Get inside and start taking out the guards. Quietly."
>She smiles and nods. "They won't see me coming."
>You sure hope they won't.
>She stands up and silently runs over to the edge before jumping over.
>The familiar hum of the probe droids behind you make you turn around and watch them as they head into the vents one by one.
"Our evil plan is working."
>Sunset speaks again. "Don't jinx us, Anon."
"Just making an observation."
>"Observe with your eyes then."
>You chuckle and prepare your explosives.
>Time for the next part of your job.

>Quickly and silently, you make your way over to the edge.
>The thousands of lights, speeders, and buildings extend far and wide below you on this side of the building as well.
>You can't afford to use your jetpack here. You're right in front of the senator's window.
>But maybe you can use your fibercord to rappel down. Your jetpack can be a fail-safe.
>This rooftop doesn't have many notches sturdy enough that you can anchor on to. The nearest one is an antenna a few meters away.
>Work with what you have, Anon.
>You pull out a decent length of fibercord from your gauntlet and head to the antenna. You wrap it around the base and tie it into a knot before heading back to the ledge.
>Once you're there, you turn around and retract the cord so it's nice and tight before stepping back onto the skyscraper wall.
>You take a deep breath as you slowly begin to rappel down the building's face.
>You hate that this is making you nervous. Even though you have no real reason to be.
>This is just instinctive. Everyone who can't naturally fly has a fear of heights to some degree.
>You push away the fear and continue down the wall.
>A few feet later, you reach the top of the senator's window and stop.
>You take out a small charge and attach it to the window. You've already tuned them to the correct frequency.
>Once it's planted, you take a few steps to the left and plant another one.
>About a minute later, all the charges that will be necessary have been planted.
>Thank the Force.
>You press a button on your left gauntlet and your fibercord slowly starts to retract while you walk up.
>One more advantage of having a robotic arm is that it doesn't get tired.
>Your real arm would probably feel like it's going to tear from its socket right about now.
>Another minute later, you're back on the roof and making your way back to your anchor point.

"The smaller charges are planted. How are you doing, Sunset?"
>"I just planted my third charge. These vents crisscross like nothing else."
"Take your time. We've got lots of it. How are things on your end, Pinkie?"
>She doesn't answer you.
"Pinkie. Pinkie Pie. Come in."
>She still doesn't answer.
>The one time you want her to talk to you is the time that she doesn't.
"Damn it."
>You shut off your comms and quietly make your way over to the other ledge.
>Hopefully nothing happened to her.
>You reach the ledge and look down at the platform just below.
>You jump down and land with a thud before turning around and pulling out your blaster rifle.
>The door opens as you approach and you see two Republic security officers laying dead on the ground.
>The second doorway just beyond is being held open by one of the officer's helmets.
>You step over them and open the door.
>Just down the hallway, two more guards are laying face-down with their heads away from you.
>They were killed from behind.
>The door behind you automatically shuts and you quickly proceed down the hallway.
>Everything is clean, well-lit, and free of any sign of violence. With the exception of the bodies on the ground.
>You try Pinkie again.
"Pinkie, come in. Pinkie."
>A few seconds later, you hear her whisper in your ear.
>"What? I'm busy."
"I'm inside. Where are you?"
>"I'm inside too, doing my job. Follow your own plan and shush."
>She shuts off communications with you right after.
>That's the first time that she's ever sassed at you like that. You're a bit surprised.
>She's got a point though.

>Keeping your blaster rifle armed, you prepare to use your dartcaster as you silently continue through the hallway.
>You carefully peer around a corner and spot another guard. This one is still alive and breathing.
>He clearly has no idea that there are four dead guards just down the hall, because he's just standing there at attention.
>You bring your dartcaster up and aim it at his neck before firing.
>It zips through the air and injects the poison into his neck less than a second later.
>"Ow! What the-"
>He grabs his neck and looks around, spotting you.
>He's about to raise his blaster at you, but starts to rock back and forth slowly.
>A couple seconds later, he collapses.
>You continue forward, stepping over his now lifeless body when you reach it, and head down the hallway.
>Your HUD indicates that the senator's room is just on your left.
>You'd continue there now, but you don't know how many guards Pinkie has killed.
>The next hallway you reach forks left, so you take it.
>It's completely free of life, so you stay alert.
>You're glad you do, because up ahead, three guards come walking out of a joining room and into the hall.
>You screech to a stop and immediately look around for a place to hide.
>There's no rooms or anything around you. You're just there in the hallway.
"Damn!"
>Maybe you can take them all out quickly.
>One of them looks forward and sees you.
>"Hey!"
>You quickly hit him in the neck with a dart.
>The other two have noticed you as well. They draw their weapons as their comrade chokes on the poison.
>You draw your weapon first and aim it at them. Your time for stealth is over.

>"Woah, wait a sec!"
>Just before you can pull the trigger, something pink drops down from the ceiling behind them and grabs them by their heads.
>She twists the both of them, making them crack loudly before they drop to the ground.
>Pinkie looks at you with a wide smile and waves.
"Impressive."
>She giggles as you walk toward her.
>"I told ya I'm good! Even if you did interrupt me."
>You're going to ignore that. She's okay and back to her bubbly self.
"Is this floor clear?"
>"Yep! We just can't be too noisy or else the patrols below will hear us. Hopefully that isn't too much trouble?"
"Har har." You say unenthusiastically as you contact Sunset. "How are those charges coming, Sunset?"
>"They're coming along. I've only got three more to plant."
"Alright, keep in touch."
>Looks like you've got a little time on your hands.
>Maybe the senator has a terminal containing a few juicy secrets somewhere.
>It's not a bad idea to look. He may not fess up when you interrogate him later.
>You look down the hallway toward a few of the open rooms before turning to Pinkie.
"Think the senator has any good stuff laying around?"
>"Oooh, I dunno. Let's go see!"
>She quickly heads down the hallway and into the room that the three guards came from.
>You follow her, keeping your guard up just in case either of you missed anyone.
>It's a simple meeting room with a table surrounded by chairs in the middle. It's very dull, with nothing of value in sight.
>Pinkie is walking around the table and checking every nook and cranny she can find beside or below it, but eventually comes back to you.
>"Nothing in here. Let's check another room."

>>28573219
>The two of you quietly move through the hallways, checking each room that you pass for anything of interest.
>Rounding a corner, you spot another pair of guards standing in front of a closed door.
>Pinkie whispers softly behind you. "Oops! I forgot about those two."
You whisper back. "It's fine. Let's just take them out."
>You kill the nearest one with a toxic dart and Pinkie restrains the other with the Force, leaving him open for another one of your darts.
>Neither of them even made a sound.
>Once they're down and out, you two check out the door they were guarding.
>"What do you think is in here?"
"Not sure. Only one way to find out though."
>You grab your blaster rifle and get yourself ready for anything that may be behind the door before you open it.
>It slides open and you look around inside for any movement.
>You're met with a dark, narrow hallway. The darkened lights on the ceiling barely give off enough to see ahead of you.
>It's very out of place, compared to the other hallways in this building.
>"Spooky."
>You take a slow step forward and keep yourself ready. Pinkie follows close behind you.
>As you press forward, you hear a weak groan up ahead and it makes you freeze.
>You and Pinkie aim your weapons ahead and listen for anything else.
>The groan comes again.
>"Are there... ghosts here?"
"It kind of sounds like it."
>You continue toward the groaning.
>It's not a ghostly groan, but it is weak. Like a sound a prisoner would make.
>At the end of the hallway, you enter through a doorway and into...
"A detention center?"

I would love for more writers, or for someone to step up to the plate for a full-time tale, but in the end we just have to take what we can get.

It's probably for the best to let the general rest. She's had a good run. Maybe Episode VIII will revive it.
