11 Chapter 11: The Old Life Effects The New

Once the light freighter came out of hyper space and began its approach J'onn asked if the captain could locate the power source that the residents of Sulon depended on the g-tap with that location it would being him one step closer to Morgan Katarn and Qu Rahn and their fateful meeting but first J'onn had to meditate on what to say he knew he couldn't push to hard with what he knew from his previous life but he also knew he had to push hard enough to convince both men to change their ultimate fate for their deaths would bring about a change in the future of one Kyle Katarn one that would lead to his knighthood but would take too much time and time in J'onns book was of the essence especially if he wanted to be on the first Death Star with Obi-Wan to duel Vader.

" I found what your looking for also were being hailed, what do you want me to say?" Kammsu said to him while J'onn was deep in thought about what was to come and the long preparation he had undertaken just in case all things went south he responded and told the captain "just tell the truth your transporting cargo, now what that means from their point of view to ours is up to them." Once he had heard what J'onn had said Kammsu raised the hail. " This is Capt.Kammsu of the Ebon Hawk 2." and then another voice crackled to life from the comms unit " Ebon Hawk 2 state your business and destination." The voice sounded crisp and imperial like which somewhat alarmed Kammsu but he quickly responded " I'm on delivery run transporting a passenger from Tatooine who decided they're sick of the dessert and would like to live on a green planet." with that response the imperial officer on the other end quickly gave them a docking space to land which ended up being right near the g-tap power zone was. From there he would make his way to the farming areas and ask around for Morgan Katarn with any luck he would make contact soon rather than later, first he needed to purchase transportation for the plains area.

As soon as J'onn left the docking bay area and payed of Capt.Kammsu he quickly headed towards the market area and went in search of a shop that would sell a cheap speeder bike. He noticed that many of the stalls and indoor shops mostly sold produce and butchered meat from local farms from the surrounding areas and since that was the case J'onn subtly asked around if Morgan Katarn was at market that day and if not where his farm could be located the locals were pretty easy going and didnt need much persuasion except for one of the locals Skorg Jameson who J'onn remembered from the Dark Forces books didnt particularly like Morgan and would not give him any information beyond the fact that Morgan thought he was better than anyone else which J'onn knew was ludicrous.

within a few hours J'onn came to the realization that if he wanted to acquire a speeder bike It would be through the imperial surplus store and from there decided to offer a local credits if they would be kind enough to drop him off at the Katarn farm and one young man offered to do it.

As the young man drew close J'onn asked the his driver if the farm they were approaching was the Katarn farm which the young driver quickly confirmed J'onn began to open himself up in the force and exert his will within a few seconds two men quickly came out of the main building on the property one was dressed in a brown robe the other man was dressed in a white shirt and work suspenders with tools hanging off his belt.

J'onn told his ride to stop once they had come to a complete stop J'onn force lept close to the two men which the one in the robe began to charge towards him suddenly a green blade flashing ready to strike at John who quickly drew his own lightsaber and activated it as the robed man's blade was coming in for an overhead strike which was blocked upon the younger blades activation from there the two men began to dance the sword dance of death looking for chinks and flaw in the others technique but it could not be found for while the older man's technique and skill was smooth and refined and the young man's skill was was the complete opposite he kept pace with the older man soon the man in the robes began to falter and tire he prepared for one last strike but he was counterd at the last moment and J'onn yelled "Stop!!! I came here not to fight but to talk." from there the robed man withdrew but kept his blade leveled and ready to strike if and when he deemed necessary and commanded the young man to "speak your peace and speak true forni know if you are lying." from there J'onn spoke " I am the y trainee of Obi-Wan Kenobi I've come to this planet at the call and will of the Force which has shown me visions of your death and the man behind you, it has sent me to change those futures both you Qu Rahn and your friend Morgan Katarn." from there J'onn stopped speaking and let the robed man ponder his words and listen to the force as it spoke to him finally he looked at the young man's eyes before him and spoke what he knew he could " I cannot fully trust what you say but I sense that there is no guile in your words, I would hear more of your vision and I know Morgan has right to hear them as well but I will be watching you for you could be an agent of the emperor and I will strike you down if i sense any ill will."
