"And you are sure we will paid? I mean we are risking alot here Derek.." Derek sighed, he was really sick and tired of listening to this insufferable whining. He was still however wasnt going to kill this man simply for being concerned for his and his crews life. Ronan Antoines was the captain of the pirates that had assisted him in kidnapping the children and transporting some other valuable cargo. It wasnt that hard to convince him to join his cause. All Derek had to do was wave some very high credits and other treasures and Ronan was on board. Derek could imagine life was tough, even for a bunch of pirates, what with the war going on and limiting their areas which they could loot from.<br/><br/>Derek then said  "Look Ronan, you are worrying over nothing, like i told you, you will be paid the remainder agreed fee once my<em>employer</em>contacts me, until then you are going to be a good little boy and sit yourself down. Besides, this wont be so hard, we have barely anything at all to worry about, hhahhahahaha" Ronan did not look too pleased with Dereks response, and Derek could sense tension all around, he could feel the stares of the pirate crew bearing down on him. This however did not faze Derek in the slightest, he was so used to it now, that he found it amusing. Ronan then spoke "Ok the kids were simple, but those two Jedi? That was not part of the plan Derek!!" Derek then said "Oh grow a pair you fool. I beat those two already,  it was amusing to watch those Jedi padawan dance around, but in the end they fell, as simple as that. You know full well that i can beat any Jedi with my eyes closed dont you Ronan?" Ronan then said with a look of frustration "What if they send a Jedi master? Or a Jedi knight? You wont be so lucky if one of those came, just the other day some guy called Kenobi handled a huge battle, i heard he nearly took out an entire army Derek!!"  Derek then with quick reflexes pointed his saber straight at Ronans face, if there was one thing he couldnt stand for, it was people doubting his strength "Are you saying im weak Ronan? Are you saying ill die like some dog? hmmm?" Ronan had a pure look of terror in his eyes, and he knew now he should not hae touched that button. "Ok im sorry, your certainly not weak Derek, I know it, im sorry i said that, can you please forgive me?!!" Derek considered it and then put his saber away, a dead captain would only cause him problems with the rest of the crew "Then stop whining and get back to work. Nothing will go wrong!! " Ronan bowed and ran off to organize the area. Derek massaged his head and looked into the sky. His master earlier told him that some jedi was coming after him? Bring it on, he had no problem with beating the Jedi to the ground, after all he relished a good fight. And he was certain that this would be a fight he would win.
