As the doors finished their cycling process they slowly parted as a ramp extend down toward the three friends. Jack grabbed Keith"s and Trish"s sleeves as he slowly moved back away from the ship. He wanted to give who ever was coming out of the ship a wide birth. I mean its a freaking star wars ship that already put who ever it is at a technology advantage over the whole planet. He did not want to offend anything that came out of the ship. His two friends got the hint and slowly back away with him. As the moved the heard the slow clanking of metal feet on the deck of the ship. At this point the rest of the PE cla.s.s that was on the track had moved up behind the three and where shocked by what they say next. Two Neimoidians in traditional Trade Federation robes followed by three squads of B1 battle droids walked out of the ship and on to the field. Jack was stunned in his mind he was holding out thinking maybe the military had come up with a new aircraft and they were in the middle of testing it. However how could he claim that to be so with the two Neimoidains standing in front of him. The two aliens seem to talk to themselves in a langue that none of the humans could understand. This went on for about five minutes, all the while no one around them moved it wasn"t as if something made them not move it was just that everyone was just too stunned to due so. Jack couldn"t take it anymore he felt that he had to say at lest something...anything so he took a deep breath and..."...Ah mmm( cough)... So what are a pair of Neimioidains doing so far from Cato Neimoidia not that I mean to pry or anything..." Jack hide the shake in his voice well as he watched one of the Neimoidains raised what looked like his eyebrow. " Well this is unexpected... they speak galactic basic and know what we are, but the scans show they not humans of a know planet in the republic sector interesting...." Turing to his companion he shifted through his robes until he found a small device. Inputing a series of commands two of the three squads of B1"s turned around and returned into the cargo hold. Then both Neimioidains turned to face the three humans. Jack during this time took in as much information about the two that he could. One of them seem to be taller than the other and the shorter one seemed younger as well but it not like he had any real reference about age for these two with movies and real life being two completely different things. When the two turned to face them the taller Neimoidain point to himself and said, " I am Viceroy Hask Visar and she is Admiral Ishmal Gunray. Who might you be small Human hmm." Jack was a little taken back Gunray he only knew of one Gunray in star wars so this was a surprise. " Me...I sm no one important in fact I believe you might have landed in the wrong place if you are looking for someone important to talk to." The two Neimoidains smiled after he spoke both slightly praising the small human on the quick deflection on proving information about one"s self in negoations information is key and the less you give the better position you place yourself. " Well small humans would you mind informing us where we can find your planets leadership we have sent ships all over this planet to high level population centers in an attempt to find them however we are have a hard time locating them. I am sure they have been trying to contact out ship however the level of transmission sent to us have been broken and unreadable to information exchange has been difficult." Hask stated. Jack looked at his two friend the turned to discuss what they should do. " So what should we do here guys I mean h.e.l.l I not really in my element here. " Jack whispered. Trish frowned " What the h.e.l.l are you talking about Jack let the teachers handle this what can we do were kids man. Don"t get crazy just because these guys are from the star wars universe." Trish looked at Jack with a serious expression she knew her friend well and could tell he was geeking out a bit due to the situation but they didn"t have the power to really do anything in this situation. " Trish is right Jack lets just pa.s.s the buck here." Keith said. Jack knew his friend where right so sadly as much as he wanted try and interact with the two aliens he was smart enough to know this was not the time to do such things if anything it was better to get these two away from a high school to avoid anything bad from happening. " Mister Viceroy er..." "Hask" the Neimoidain finished. " Yes Viceroy Hask I believe it would be better if you talked to the bigger looking human behind us for that information we are still Juveniles so what we know and can tell you is very limited." Jack hoped that saying this much would satisfy the Neimoidain he knew just how crafty this race of beings can be. Unfortunately thats not what the two Neimoidains had in mind. Hask smiled then spoke." I am sorry did that sound like a request I apologize but I am not asking you will come with us and direct us to where your leader or leaders can be found. " As he spoke the squad of B1"s that were still standing there raised there blaster at the three humans. "You heard him humans move it." The droid spoke in its cla.s.sic high pitched voice Jack really wanted to geek out at this point but with blasters pointed at him and his friend something told him this might not be the best time. Just before they started to move the gym teacher who had been standing there quite moved to step in between the kids and the droids. Just as he was about to speak one of the droids fired off a shot hitting the teacher square in the chest killing him instantly. The other students instantly panicked and started to run to the doors that lead into the school. The droids did not fire off and more shouts and allowed them to enter the school. Jack, Trish and Keith froze and reality dawned on them this was not a prank and they were not playing around if they didn"t follow what these droid told them they might end up just like the gym teacher. Jack at this point to try and calm his friend walked forward hands in the air and looked at Hask. " You don"t need these two I can help you alone can you let them go inside with the others." Hask was surprised by the human in front of him he half expected him to panic like the rest of them after his droids killed the older human however he did not however this human had made a key mistake by asking for the two human beside him to be allowed to leave it showed that he cared for them so taking them with was the best way to insure that he followed through with what he wanted to do. So instead of answering the human he just turned and walked into the ship while his droids forced the three humans into the ship as well. He turned to Ishmal who during this entire exchange had said nothing and smiled. " Inform the command ship we have take hostages and are heading for the leadership of this world." Ishmal bowed and turn to walk to the c.o.c.kpit of the craft as the shuttles engines began powering up for take off.
Mr. White watch in horror as Tom was shot with some type of weapon. He didn"t even have time to run to the first floor to try and protect Jack and the two other students that where with him. By the time he arrived the crafted had already taken off flying in the dirction he believed to be New York city. " c.r.a.p those aliens must want to go the the United Nations". White however couldn"t worry about that now. He need to calm the students that had seen Tom get killed and inform the staff that three students had been taken by those creature. White cursed his bad luck and only wish he had not been so stunned when the ship landed that he had chased after Jack. As much as a trouble maker the kid was he did not deserve what was happening to him and the other students at the moment. Lost in his thoughts White did not hear Samatha come up to him in a painc. " White...WHIITE!" She shouted. He turned to look at her as she began to spout a mile a minute about what had just occurred ." Just my luck " He thought as he tried to calmed the panicled teacher as well as the students.
