The Fett Legacy

CHAPTER 6

Killon's red dot stopped blinking, signaling that he had dropped out of hyperspace. A few moments later, Zors did likewise. I looked down at the scanners and then back up through the window. Then Zors said exactly what I was thinking.

"Why is it that we are always ending up on Tatooine?"

"I have no idea, Zors," I said, looking at the scanners once more. I saw that Killon's ship had landed in the dune sea of Tatooine. I knew exactly where he was at and I didn't like it.

"Zors, he's at the old Hutt palace," I said.

"Oh, great. I hate that place," he whined, stearing us into the planet's atmosphere.

"You and I both, Zors," I muttered. "Don't land too close to the palace. Killon can't know that we followed him; not yet at least," I ordered.

"Sure thing, Jetta," Zors said as he landed several miles away from the palace. We ran off the ship and I grabbed my binoculars. I located Killon's ship in the distance. I zoomed in and saw Rosemary being dragged off the ship. She was fighting against them, but they punched her in the stomach. I twitched and clenched my fists, putting the binoculars down. I rushed inside of the Revenant and grabbed two blasters. I handed one to Zors.

"Zors, when we get inside, I want you find Rosemary. T3, stay with the ship- keep it away from the Jawas," I commanded as I began to run to the palace.

"What are you going to do, Jetta?" Zors asked as he ran beside me.

"Me?" I asked. Then I laughed. "I'm going to kill Killon Hutt slowly and painfully."

"It'll be a while before we reach the palace," Zors yelled at me. We both stopped running; there were still miles to go until we actually reached the palace. He coughed and bent over, breathing heavily. "Boy, am I outa breath."

"You keep going. Go to the back of the palace, you'll find a secret entrance. Once you get there, tell me and I'll inform you of how to get inside," I said.

"What are you going to do?" He asked. I prepped my jetpack and said, "I'm going to fly to the front entrance."

"Of course she is!" I heard Zors say as I flew up and toward the entrance of Jabba's Palace. When I arrived, I landed on a rock that hid me from the entrance. I looked down and saw Killon and his guards dragging Rosemary. She was cuffed, and she had been crying. She suddenly looked around and then up at the rock where I was hiding. She smiled and I shook my head. She nodded and looked back down.

How did she know I was up here? I shrugged and kept an eye on Killon. The large door opened and they all walked in. As soon as they did and the door closed again, I jumped down and approached the door.

I examined it. How did they get this door opened. I looked around and finally found a large button in the shape of a rock. I pressed it and the door opened.

"Dank farrik!" I exclaimed. But that seemed easy; a little too easy. I quickly ran in and nearly gagged. It smelled like rotting flesh inside; as I scanned the area, I saw why. I don't think this place had been cleaned since the days of the Empire. There were corpses of Gamorreans all over the place. Unfortunately, Gamorrean bodies didn't rot like all other creatures; instead they just smelled really bad for years.

"Jetta!" I heard a sharp whisper through my comlink.

"Did you make it, Zors?" I whispered back, hiding myself as two guards walked by.

"Yes, now how do I get in?" He asked.

"Look around; do you see a small lever?" I asked when the guards passed.
